But the deeds of most far reaching consequence in the world ' s history have been based upon experience in the past. This has been found to be true in the political, social, and economic worlds. However, it does not mean that men should be fettered by the past, for not infrequently the past shows them what not to do, as well as what to do ; it means simply that men should be guided and enlightened by their own past experience and that of the world. As those who now attend the Los Angeles High School, and those whose days there are done, go about their daily work they should bear this in mind : The school has given them a splendid past on which to build, a clear light to illuminate a good path through life. In entering the new era which each day opens for every individual, all who have known of our great Alma Mater should resolve to be guided by her past and traditions. If we will make this resolution each day, and will translate it into deeds, the days to come will record events of great credit to the old Spirit of the Tower.

WINTER, 1924 AN ODE TO MR. HOUSH Thou pilot of the good ship, L. A. High, Thou steadfast leader of the Pioneers, Would that a greater, worthier writer, I Might fittingly laud thy labors of these years. What worries have deep-furrowed each tanned cheek? What merriment made twinkle each clear eye. Deep-set below an arching, noble brow Where silver traces of Time ' s passing lie? What kindly dignity and justice show Themselves and thy fine character bespeak? More than a score of years has fled afar Since first thy hand was placed upon the helm To keep this vessel ' s course true to its star. Though storm or calm seem like to overwhelm; To steer it safely to a distant goal. In part we know the battles thou hast won, The burdens born, the tasks that to thee fell ; Yet countless lie forgotten in thy soul, Unknown to us who would with praises swell The glory of a man whose work ' s well done. O thou whom each of us may call his friend, Gentle example for all changing youth. Here may we see our highest ideals blend With thine own life, tempered by world ' s truth. Tho well we know mere words can ne ' er repay The debt we owe for life free giv ' n by thee In faithful service ; yet we rest content That just reward will come some future day. When our achievements ample proof shall be That thy brave life has been most nobly spent. — Merion Elliott. FJ CULY V MESS XCES PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE My Dear Young Friends: The classes of ' 23 sang the praises of the pioneers of California, and of the founders and builders of the Los Angeles High School. You, the class of Winter ' 24, have essayed the pleasant but difficult task of throw- ing upon the screen a vision of the school that is to be. Living in a time of feverish activity, our school can not rest upon the laurels won by former students, or it will be left behind by new and vigorous high schools springing into existence around us. Yours it is to remind those whom you leave in charge of the school ' s reputation that they must keep in touch with all lines of modern pro- gress. Vital contact with the forces of the civilization of today through the students who wall now carry on the life of the school is imperative if the school is to grow better and greater in the years to come. Your mission as shown in this Semi-Annual is rightly to show that our young people can and will disprove all pessimistic prophecies that the world is headed toward social and political chaos. The Los Angeles High School has a splendid heritage, not the least of which is the blood of men and women of high character and ideals. As you return from year to year you need not fear to find retrogression, or decay of the principles that have made our school a potent force for good in this community. I congratulate you upon the excellent records you have made while you were citizens of Los Angeles High School, and compliment you upon the excellence of your Semi-Annual. W. H. HOUSH. I H. HOrSH. PRINCIPAL TO THE CLASS OF WINTER TWENTY-FOUR While the old shall dream dreams, the young shall see visions. Pre- eminently the new Era belongs to you. You represent the intelligent young men and women of America, and your visions shall truly deter- mine the greatness or the littleness, the freedom or the tyranny, the idealism or the materialsm, of this new Era. We are receiving por- tentous tidings from distracted Europe today; rumblings of war; re- turn to monarchy; decadence of the education of the common people. There are those who still believe it possible for us of America to help Europe orient herself. If this is to be the fact, and in saving her we are to help to save ourselves, it will be because you and the thousands like you do not allow idealism to be destroyed by the stress and strain of the daily grind, and because by keeping in constant contact with the movements of the time in which you live, you remain intelligent citi- zens of the world. You have become very dear to us. Class of Winter Twenty-Four, and we shall miss you sorely. Yet we could not, if we would, keep you from progressing hopefully into your new Era, and in bidding you fare- well, we wish for you all the good that can come to human travelers. SARAH F. WOLVERTON TO THE WINTER CLASS OF ' 24 Last semester ' s celebration of the Mid-Centennial with its wonder- ful spirit of accomplishment and of school loyalty has now become one of our most treasured memories. Your class begms the second halt of the century in the life of the school which has grown from seven students in 1873 to nearly 3600 students in 1924. Dunng the same period, the city of Los Angeles has grown trom a small Spanish village with a few American settlers, to total population which was less than 10 000 inhabitants, to a metropolitan city of a million people pulsating with an enthusiastic optimism. In the development ot the city, the educational and spiritual influences must be considered even more im- portant than the purely material ones. It is a tradition for past gradu- ates and an ambition for present and future graduates o he L s Angeles High School that its alumni shall go out into the ife ot the city and be leaders in its development. It is the purposeful desire of the school, its alumni, and faculty, that Los Angeles shall be known throughout the world for its material prosperity, for its architectuial beautv for its cultured homes, for its efficient and modern schools, for its complete enforcement of the law and for its sincere belief in civic ' ' MaTvoirmembers of the Winter class of ' 24, with the inspiration that vou have received from your Alma Mater, be individually active in making the Los Angeles of the next twenty-five years, a city that shall give to the world all that is best in the modern development of democracy. . ■ j From your sincere friend, E.

STAFFORD, SECRETARY ' I DMINISTR TI N Fellow Students: With others of W ' 24 I must bid you good-bye after being with you, and one of you, for four years. All of these years have been happy ones — though too short — a fact that we seldom realize is true until time for graduation. Especially has this last term been a happy one. It has been a pleasure and an honor to serve you and represent you as your president. The way you have worked with us, your offi- cers and faculty, has been wonderful. We have had a successful term, and I am sure it has been due to this splendid spirit of co-operation exhibited by every organization, team, board, and individual of the student body — working and fighting for the whole, not itself or himself. However, L. A. has always been known for her team work, and I hope she always will be so, that she may keep her position as the leader. I leave, wishing you the greatest success obtainable, and thanking you again for your wonderful support this past term. GIRLS ' STUDENT BODY In ordpr to promote co-operation and better social relationsliip among the girls, and to act as an Advisory Board to Miss Wolverton, Girls ' vice-principal, in matters pertaining to the girls of the Student Body, the Girls Cabinet was organized. There are twelve members in the society who are chairmen of their committees, except the president, who, being president of the Girls ' Student Body, automatically takes that position. The other officers of the cabinet are elected from the members. The cabinet this term has sponsored welcoming work, philanthropic drives, Thanksgiving baskets and the Santa Fe Christmas work, besides conducting drives for the Midnight Missions and taking up any other needs belonging especially to the girls. The officers are President: Evelyn Fox. Club Reporter: Mary Lott. Vice-President: Hazel Herman. Treasurer: Harriet Ebert. Secretary: Juanita tlrtubees. The members are: Senior Board President: Hazel Herman. Santa Fe Committee Chairman: Amanda Strcng. Welcoming Committee Chairman: Rose Dimond. G. A. A. President: Harriet Ebert. Door Committee Chairman: Gwendolyn Kik. House and Grounds Chairman: Eleanor Bowdle. Phi lanthropic Committee Chairman: Karin Anderson. Costume Committee Chairman: Esther Newcomer. Point System Chairman: Katherine Miles. Flower Chairman: .luanita Urtubees. Pompon Chairman: Ruth Frost. Archives Chairman: Mary Lott. KA:THEnii JE BUXH L. O T T EDTTH THOI TOH GIRLS ' SENSOR BOARD The Girls ' Senior Board was organized in 1912. Under the new Con- stitution, adopted by the school this term, this organization has become a judicial body. The purpose of this organization is to see that the few rules and many traditions are carried out by the student body. The keynote of the Girls ' Senior Board this term has been co-operation. Its aim is not merely to inflict just punishment, but to inculcate in the students a feeling of pride in their school, and a desire to do right. The members of this control are chosen from the Senior classes — ten from the Senior A class and fifteen from the Senior B class. Occasionally it is necessai-y to bring delinquent members of our school before the Board for trial. Each person is given a hearing and is judged by the vote of the assembled Board members. If the person is found guilty, demerits are given according to the nature of the offense. The officers are : President : Hazel Herman ; Vice-President : Ruth Schurz; Secretary-Treasurer: Alice Ege ; Prosecuting Attoimey: Alice Strauss; Public Defender: Eleanor Bunnell; Sergeant-at-Arms : Edith Thornton. The Senior A members are: Elizabeth Baird, Christine Bauer, Estelle Foote, Evelyn Fox, Dorothy French, Wilberta Rose, Elizabeth Shailer, Clara Shugars, Pearl Tenney, Bernice Wilson, Bernice Winslow. The Senior B members are: Blonch Barnett, Josenhine Campbell, Dorothv Garnier, Jessica Heber, Dorothy Horton, Virginia McCoy, Helen Small, Belle Wardenberg. ©006 I CLARA BERMICE ELIZABETH WILBEHTAB ■ SHUOO S WILSOrl SHAILEq ROSE ■ 000® ELIZABOfl DOROTHY BAII D FREMCH OOCL ■ HELEM JOJEPMIME JESSICA BELLE I ■ ailALI.

A plan was worked out by William McFee, who was elected chairman of the committee, and Mr. Oliver, as faculty representative. It was decided to call this organization the Boys ' Senior Board. Regular members are elected from each of the Senior classes, by the members of the class. Associate members are elected at large, from the upper grade bv the regular members of the Board. It has been cus- tomary, during the past terms, for the members to be identified by only a card, but this term the regular members have pins, characteristic of their office. The purpose of the Board is to keep order in and about the school at all times. The desire to help rather than hinder the stu- dents is constantly on the minds of the members. A dance for the members was given the latter part of the term. The officers are: President: Walter Johnson; Vice-president: Mal- colm Majonier; Secretary and Treasurer: Pierre Miles; Sergeant-at- arms : Standard Smith ; Prosecuting attorney : John Long. The Senior A members are: Dick Badham, Mervm Culbertson, Roy Dennis, Melvin Faget, Paul Porker, Earl LeSage, Arthur Maish.

L ' z: STUDENT BODY MANAGERS Few students realize the immense resi)unsil)ility placed upon tlie Student Body Managers. This organization has to do with the funds ot the school, and has been growing in proportion to the growth of the school since its establishment m 1913. 1 his department takes care ot all the receipts of money from these activities: football, baseball, track, basketball, special aud calls, musicals, glee club concerts, operas, motion pictures, boys ' and girls ' gymnasium funds, donations, and memorial funds. Tickets are sold for the foregoing activities and crowds accommodated for the games and entertainments. Football has been extremely successful this term in regard to support, and because of this success the managers have been able to secure the Coliseum for the big games, something which has never before happened in the history of High School Football. These young men have also been able to secure tickets to the inter-collegiate football games, another accompVishment which has not happened before. The boys that have been working day by day and after school hours tor the lieneiit of the school in this department are: Manager: James Fraley. First Assistant: Charles Reynolds. Second Assistant: Paul Edwards. Third Assistant: Stanley Pomeroy. CAFETERIA The Cafeteria is one of L. A. s largest organizations. It is kept up by the students who, with the help of the kitchen staff and Mrs. West, furnish lunch for nearly 3100 students a day. The candy, ice cream and hot dog counters are considered part of the cafeteria work, and help bring in the dailv revenue of about $400. The workers consist of 70 student employees, eight helpers m the kitchen and Mrs. West, who is faculty adiviser to the cafeteria. The food that is served to the students is of the best quality. All the cooking and baking is done here at L. A., and the equipment is of the latest varietv. The food is sold as near cost as possible. Out of 70 student employees, one is appointed manager each term bv Mrs West, according to his ability and scholarship. _ _ ' The Cafeteria Club is a branch of the cafetenan work, its aim being to further harmonv and cooperation among the students. At the meet- in s which are held twice a month, problems of the Lunch House are discussed and instructions that will serve to make the work ot the cafe- teria more efficient are given by Mrs. West. The officers of the club are: President : Dorothy Trumbo. Vice-president: Paul Huston. Secretary: Florence Zeiger. Treasurer: James Stewart. BOOK STORE The Los Angeles High School Book Store was started in the old building as a book exchange where second-hand books were bought and sold. When we moved to the new building, an up-to-date stationery and school supply store was opened and has been run very success- fully entirely by students, ever since. The store has been very successful this term, due to the perfect co- operation of the students in purchasing their school supplies here, thus obtaining the benefit of convenience and economy. The store has been run this semester by the following: Manager: Barnes Ward. First Assistant : Augustine Faudoa. Second Assistant: Roland Hall. Third Assistant : Jack Armstrong. Facultv Adviser: Mr. Benson. LOST AND FOUND AND HALL LOCKER DEPARTMENT The Lost and Found has just completed a very busy and very suc- cessful term. The business of this department is to return to the students the articles they lose and to provide them with lockers for their books, coats, and hats. The Lost and Found has been efficiently managed this term by: Manager: Harry Crosthwaite. First Assistant: Ethel Sjostrom. Second Assistant: Edith Clayton. LANDENBER.GER.

I know the trees are tall and straight, The world is more than just a mass Of color. All is queer because I ' m looking through a crooked glass. I saw a person I dislike, I didn ' t speak, I let him pass. I didn ' t realize that I Was looking through a crooked glass. — Juliana Townsend. AMBITION When people tell me their ambitions, They speak of joy and wealth and fame. One waits and prays for inspirations To wrest from art a glowing name. A few would nature ' s truths uncover, And give to science more i-enown. Still others crave a statesman ' s power, Which oft must brave a nation ' s frown. I would I had the understanding Of things worth while, the real in life. I feel that it will end the seeking For what unites, and stops all strife. —Helen Bell. LANDENBER.6ER. WINTER. 1924 TRADITIONS OF LOS ANGELES HIGH SCHOOL Our oldest tradition is that Los Angeles High School was founded as a classical school; classical not only in that it includes in its curriculum Latin and Greek, the so-called classical languages, but classical in that it conserves those forms of culture that have stood the test of time. Correlative with this is the tradition that we have the Roman virtues, courage and loyalty, and the Grecian respect for physical training, literary appreciation, and artistic creation. As old as the school itself is the slogan, You can ' t beat L. A. High. This embodies the tradition that L. A. fights hardest when the odds are heaviest against her. As an outgrowth of interscholastic relations in student activities are fair dealing and courtesy toward opposing schools. The good sports- manship of L. A. is everywhere recognized. A tradition that has grown up in our home school life is that good citizenship demands respect for the good name of the school and for school property, co-operation for the general good, and willingness to sacrifice individual gain for the success and honor of the school as a whole. These ideals are developed not only in class rooms, but in the student management of activities and participation in the government of school. The senior boards and student body government have been developed with constant improvements as a result of experience and of new conditions. The literary publications, both the Semi-Annual and the Blue and White Weekly, and the Cafeteria, are probably unparalleled as exam- ples of successful High School student endeavor in those lines. L. A. is proud of the fact that it had the first military organization, and that the present R. O. T. C. battalion is one of the best in the city. The senior classes and Star and Crescent Society, with their colors, insignia, and various special features aim to inculcate and intensify the cherished traditions so well embodied in the motto adopted some years ago: obedience to law, respect for others, mastery of self, and joy in .service : these constitute life. W: I. H. HOUSH. THE NEW ERA AND THE LAWYER The history of the United States has been written not merely in the halls of Congress, in Executive offices and on the battlefields, but to a great extent in the chambers of the Supreme Court of the United States. With these words Mr. Charles Warren opens his classic work, The Supreme Court in United States History , and no better thought could be suggested as the central theme in a discussion of the lawyer in re- lation to the new era. The function of the lawyer is peculiar. Primarily, he is a gentle- man engaged more or less busily and more or less successfully in the practice of his profession for the purpose of supporting himself and his dependents. In the course of his career he is engaged from time to time by clients, each of whom has a specific problem affecting his individual selfish interests which he desires his lawyer to solve for him. B desires to collect a sum of money from C; C claims that he has dis- charged his debt. D has been injured through E ' s negligence, and wishes to be compen.sated by the payment of damages. In these simple instances neither A ' s lawyer nor B ' s lawyer is contributing to national history; but there are vast numbers of cases in which clients with no less individualistic or selfish objects have plunged or have been forced into litigation having most unexpected and far-reaching consequences. Thus, in 1801, one William Marbury insisted upon his right to re- ceive a commission as justice of the peace for Washington County, in the District of Columbia. Presumably Mr. Marbury desired the office because of the salary or the fees attached to it. Possibly he regarded the position as one of dignity sufficient to justify his fighting for it. At any rate, fight he did, and brought about the writing of one of the fir.st constitutional decisions by the great chief justice, John Marshall. In Marbury v. Madison the Supreme Court declared its power to adju- diciate the validity of Acts of Congress and established one of the fun- damental principles of Constitutional Law. The single illustration is sufficient to make the point that the influ- ence and efl ' ect of the lawyer ' s ordinary daily work is essentially dif- ferent from that of men engaged in any other line of endeavor. The merchant may charge high prices or sell poor merchandise with no re- sult other than the disappointment of his customer and the consequent loss of trade. The surgeon may remove an appendix without establish- ing a precedent. But the lawyer may find himself at any moment called upon to assert or challenge a doctrine of fundamental impor- tance in national or in local government, or a rule aff ' ecting the contacts of men in their daily dealings with one another, throughout the country and through the ages. Indeed, when we consider how the reported decisions are quoted and followed interchangeably, English by Amer- ican, American by English, those of the British provinces by our courts and ours by theirs, it will be seen that the infiuence of the lawyer ' s work is not even limited by national boundaries. The relation of the lawyer to the new era has a twofold aspect — the reaction of the period on the lawyer and the influence which the lawyer should have upon his period. The new era, if by that term we designate the times in which we are living, is an era of mechanical and commercial development, of practi- cal business, of insistence upon success. The practice of the law has a tendency to become commercialized. The old-time lawyer, dignified, cultured, kindly, and, it must be confessed, leisurely, is slowly giving ground to the more vigorous and practical type, interested more in busi- ness methods and the accomplishment of the particular purpose for which he is retained than in the scholarly consideration of legal prin- ciples. And in opposition to this development within his own profession and to the corresponding tendency without should the lawyer dedicate him- self and endeavor to exert his influence upon the new era. Respect for the law, reverence for the constitution, obedience to public authority, devotion to high standards of honor, single-hearted patriotism — these are the virtues he must practice and preach ; and insofar as the ambition or desire of clients run counter to these the truly admirable lawyer will decline to serve, and will preserve the ancient landmarks set for him by men like Marshall, Webster, Lincoln, and a mighty host of honored, thoughtful, independent, gentlemen unafraid, who have preceded him in the practice of law. Then will the coming generations take a just pride in the era of our history which is yet in the making, and which will be written largely, as before, in the chambers of our judges and in the consulting rooms of the members of the bar. J. P. LOEB, S ' Ol LANDENSfHOER. WINTER, 1924 THE FUTURE OF ARCHITECTURE IN LOS ANGELES BY DONALD B. PARKINSON, 1913 Mention Architecture to an Architect and you at once call to his mind an ideal, almost a religion, a creed of perfection in form and purpose that has been realized but seldom in the history of mankind. For it is only when, through a rare combination of circumstances the thought and ideals of people are stimulated and elevated that man has transcended his natural imperfections and achieved the great masterpieces of Architecture. There are probably half a dozen buildings in the world that rise above all other monuments as svmbols of the glorious ages in which they were produced. Other times, however have produced wcrthy art that has come down to us as part of our great heritage ' from the past, and stands as a noble background for the glory of ancient Greece and medieval France. High purpose and wealth must mingle on a soil of sur- passing beauty before a Parthenon is possible, and these three elements will be present. in a degree, where any great art is to occur. In our own case, we have every gift that a bountiful nature has bestowed upon the oarth- fertile vallevs, ma,iestic mountains of perfect outline, the ocean bordered with every ' type of shored even the desert spaces that have always been the cradle of thought, are bathed in an atmosphere of gorgeous and ever changing color. Poet, Philosopher, Sculptor, Painter, Architect, what one of them could ask for more? Wealth we are getting in large degree and wealth there must be to complete great oporations America is the richest nation of the world today, and a good share is being drawn to the natural advantages of California. That this seed will soon bear fruit is evinced in projected public buildings and ambitious City Planning Programs. We, in Los Angeles, have been so enthusiastic over ourselves, that our shouts of achievement and greatness have often been exceeding loud and little else. It is good to see at last the cart behind the horse in the desire for a real civic plan, so that the City Hall or other public buildings built today may not be torn down tomorrow as wrongly placed. We have not yet begun to learn the lesson that older civilized nations could teach us if we would but profit by their experience, and this is it: That there is but one economical type of construction and that is permanent construction. It is such a scatter-brained procedure and such a pitiful waste of human effort to build the shoddy things we do, knowing they can last but a few years. Compare this with the Italian farmer ' s stone dwelling, for example, that his remote ancestors built perhaps a thousand years ago and has continuously housed family and live stock ever since, with slight ' additions that prosperity or the fashion required. There are churches, schools, villas and public buildings beyond count that have faithfully and beautifully served their purpose for even greater periods of time and are still the models we try to approach. When we come to our third element, nobility of purpose, we can lay little claim to its possession. Since the Renaissance, with the development of science and destruc- tion of faith, man ' s thoughts have become more and more material and the product of his hand and mind ever more unlovely. The soul of a people and their true worth can only be judged by the things they do. The Artist ' s mission is to express in visible form the craving for beauty that, dormant or active, is in every mortal. A review of the last century would convince the most skeptical that art then was dead as never before, since man first scratched a symbol on the wall of his cave. Art so called, became unworthy of men, an insipid, formless thing, to be dallied with by idle women. and a word that those isolated ones, who worshipped its true sense, shrank from using and shuddered to hear. Today, through education perhaps, rather than inner urge, the necessity and longing for beauty is being reawakened. It may be a natural revolt against the emptiness of materialism, but, in either event, the lists are swelling of those who realize that lasting joy is not assured by radio, jazz, and large bank accounts. One thing is certain. The current of humanity does not flow smoothly as the green moving waters, but rises and falls in its Irresistible and ever changing course. Perhaps we are even now witnessing the dawn of another great age. Architecture will then take its just place as the noblest expression of the best in man, embracing as it does, all of the arts, and record once again for posterity the glory of his achievement. Now, Architecture is a career that should not be chosen, rather, it should be slightly shunned as this is a commercial age and an Architect ' s monetary recompense is very small in comparison with his efforts and responsibilities. If, however, you are drawn irresistibly to this profession, enter it with joy and thanksgiving, for no matter what humble part you may play, your work will become the very breath of your life and could not be replaced by the riches of Croesus. STATION WTF Los Angeles High School — Los Angeles, Calif. Broadcast the news that the achievements of the first fifty years of the Los Angeles High School have become history, and the new era has been successfully initiated by the Class of Winter ' 24. This class is large for a winter class, numbeiing over two hundred. It has shown marked enthusiasm. Among the events of the term were the Senior Debate, Class Day, Senior A and B Contest, Party, and Mov- ing Picture. The successful candy and sandwich sale at the Jefferson game raised funds for the football blankets which are one of the class gifts. The success of the class is due to the splendid guidance of the head Senior A teachers, Miss Lavayea and Miss Lockwood, and to the untir- ing efforts of the class officers.

We chose bold pilots for to steer; Our hold we filled with treasures good; High courage, brains, and leaders stood Us in good stead, as did our strength. Of numbers? No. Why, to what length Could numbers bring? For all can see What makes a winner is quality. For four long years of toil and play, We ' ve .struggled onward to this day. We ' ve never faltered, never feared ; Though dangers threatened, Sail on, we cheered. We ' ve safely passed by reef and shoal ; Undaunted, strong, we ' ve reached our goal. So praise the pilots, praise the crew ; Our good ship ' s course has proven true. And now our maiden voyage done, A greater sea tour must we run. We have to face the toil and strife _ That all must meet on the Sea of Life. But we will sail with purpose pure ; And not long hence, you may be sure. We ' ll have the fruits of work well done, And many high positions won. We ' ve proved what we could do before; And now we ' ll build a ship once more. Then with just pride, and courage high. We ' ll down the ways, and off we ' ll fly To win our places midst the throng That sail life ' s seas, though the way be long, For staunch, fair fighters we are, and more. Hail to Winter Twenty-Four!

WiNTC ' .024 SENIOR B CLASS OF S ' 24 To be great it is necessary to be good; to be industrious; to be sincere; and to live by those things which men call ideals. Realizing the joys and responsibilities of being Seniors, the class of S ' 24 began from the very first to follow with conscientious efforts those traditions which go to make a class long remembered and appreciated. Organization was completed and officers were elected early in Octo- ber. One of the first acts was the choosing of colors. After much delib- eration, purple and white, expressing royalty and purity were selected. As true Romans the Senior B pin design was that of a Roman war- rior ' s helmet. To further the unity of this group, which numbers 440, a get-acquainted party was given. This event was voted by all as a great success. Several prominent students brought honor to the Senior B ' s. Grace Dixson and Lloyd Smith successfully debated for them against the Senior A ' s. Rose Morehead represented the class in Star and Crescent, as vice-president. Mr. Noble and Mrs. Barnard, advisers, helped to make the class successful, by giving their personal interest and much time to its activities. The officers are : President: Paul Elmquist. Vice-president: Blanche Ansley. Secretary: Dorothy Horton. Treasurer: George Robertson.

Across the east there came as from the deep A fiery splendor bright. Through every nook Of thickest foliage, sun rays pierced to look Into the glim ' ring shallows. Falls would leap O ' er pebbles round in foamy sport, would creep O ' er weathered cataracts while tinged leaves took Their message down. With winter ' s first chill breath And fleecy flake, the brook was buried low- Beneath the drifted snow and hoary frost. Except for falling snow cascades, like death Among the pines a silence reigned. The slow, Old, wintry moon kept guard till he was lost. — Gwendolyn Patton.

LITERAHV POPPY AND JADE By VALENCIA PERKINS How str:in.gt ' that a sloiider circlet of clear jade should hind the lives of many people, regard- less of time and distance. To think that a bit of carved stone should exert such influence and bring happiness or despair to all it encircles. But only jade cculd do that, the glorious, mystic green that fascinates and holds one and controls the dsstiny of people. In the lanii of the Yellow Dragon, night, with her soft, black drapings. was slowly sweeping across the sky and settling down for her vigil. Gradually the silver stars peeped out like shining jewels carelessly caught in the clinging folds of the draperies cf the Queen of Darkness. Then, the blackness was suddenly illuminated by darting flames and the city of Tientsin was plunged into gayety and light, for the Feast of Lanterns had begun. It was on this night that a royal marriage was to take place and the Feast of Lanterns was made twice as gorgeous by the presence of the bridal procession. The beautiful and flower like Sun Si, daughter of a royal family of Tientsin was to wed that night. Yuan, Prince cf the pro vince of F ih-Kien. Surely nothing could ha e made the people happier than this wedding of their beloved princess, to the strong and illus trious prince — it was indeed, a night of joy Tientsin was whispering in awe the wonderful news! Yuan, as a token of his supreme affection had bestowed upon Sun Si, as one of his be trothal gifts, the treasure of centuries — the in tricately designed jade bracelet. In a huge room, hung with gorgeously em broidered tapestries, there knelt a tiny figure before the shrine of her forefathers. The gre it God Confucius looked down upon her expresbion lessly as the smoke of the incense rose upward and gradually misted the room. Thru this haze one could dimly see the fragile Sun Si. clothed in the pure white of her bridal dress, among the grinning and malicious looking idols, praying for happiness in her new life. Suddenly a drapery was pushed back. A servant glided in and ges- tured to her that it was time. Sun Si slowly came forward and glancing back for the last time, Ifft the house of her father forever. Swaying lanterns, red, gold, and green lights, fireworks, and the procession of golden idols, all made the scene one of light and beauty. At the end of the street of gayety. light, and laughter, the bridal procession with all its richness slowly progressed. First appeared numerous men, in the trap pings of the royal house, playing musical instru- ments Closelv following them came a number of servants bearing aloft trays laden with treas- ures untold. Then came the bridal chair. It was carried by richly dressed men and was of carved ebony hung with costly tapestries. On down the road it went with rejoicing and merry-making following in its trail. Gradually the procession slowed down until it came to a stop before the palace of the groom. At the sight of Prince Yuan the people quieted and all eyes followed him as he went forward in all his spendor to escort his bride home. Drawing back the heavily embroidered curtains, he reached in to help her out and all necks craned forward to gaze on the beautiful Princess. The light of happiness and pride suddenly left his eyes and his face became a frozen mask. Amid all this glorv and richness lay Sun Si. pale and limp, for her soul had gone to join those of her revered ancestors. Her little dark head, weighted down with massive jewels, drooped against her pillows, and en her arm was a sinister red mark— a mark showing where that mystic circlet had pressed. The jade bracelet with its potent power had gone as it had come— silently— leaving behind it sor- row and despair. Chinatown! what visions that word conjures up Narrow, winding streets lined with quaint, colorful shops and houses: gilded cornices, bril- liantly painted roofs, and twisted little balconies, with swaying lanterns and flowering plants, al- most touching across the narrow streets; swarms of yellow people, with their gleaming sloe eyes, in the crooked pathways. This bit of old China in the new world, magically gilded with the rays of the setting sun, throws a spell over one. This is Chinatown as we know it. Underneath this gaudv and deceiving cover lies the real China-- the inner China— with its murky depths untouched by the passing world. Here, mixed in the swirling smoke from poppy seed, the primitive emotions of love, hate, fear and jealousy rule and guide the lives of all. Night slowlv darkened the sky and an ominous fog settled down barely pierced here and there ,1y the light from a glimmering lantern. Slowly a ' bent old Chinaman hobbled down the street, and looking neither to right nor left went on past the closed shops, with their food and glowing punk sticks on the doorsteps to appease the gods; on past darkened hop joints, where little gleams of light shot forth from tiny cracks, betraying the presence of human beings; on to a little gambling den. Opening the door, old Charlie Ling shuffled in. Eddies of smoke curled upward, and through this haze he made his way to his accustomed corner Once seated, Charlie Ling ' s eyes darted here and there, noting everything— the dense haze dimming the tense figures of yellow men under the baleful power of gold, the bowing pro- prietor, and the little scurrying Chinese waitres- ses Suddenly the door opened and his eyes shifted onlv to behold his expected guest, slim voung ' sue ' Yen enter and glide quickly toward him In this den of chanc- these two heathens planned the destiny of people while the God of Greed held court to all who could pay. The mightv pulse of Chinatown quickened quivered; a miracle had happened. The powerful Hop Sing Tong under the leadership of May Wa had for years battled for supremacy against Jew Shuck of the mighty Hip Sings. Hatred, one of those ugly passions of mankind, had long ruled and governed this bit of China, and now, over- night all was changed. Hatred had flown before the love of two young people. Yan Sen, son ot May Wa. had loved and won Tao su, daughter of Jew Shuck. All Chinatown gasped and wondered at the beauty of the betrothal gift. Yan Sen had sent to dainty Tao Su a jade bracelet ot unsurpassed beauty. Its clear green with the maze of carved figures had been the gift of Emperors — and now Su. Preparations for the wedding had been goint; forward, until at last, the day was set in th ' month of June, The houses and shops lining the street ot the bridal procession were strung witli festoons of flcwers; arches were made from bal- cony to balcony and hung with tensil p aper, and lanterns swung in the breeze. Every tiling was ready and the hour was set at suns?t .when the ray ot the setting sun would gild the scene. The rays of the sun shot thru the window and fell upon little T ' ao Su as she knelt before the shrink of her forefathers. The golden god. with the in- cense smoke curling around its head, gazed be- nignly down upon the tiny figure in blazing white For a moment, the sun with all its glory had put a halo around T ' ao Su. and contrasted sharply the sinisterly designed jade pressed against her arm; then, suddenly — a black shadow fell across the shrine and T ' ao Su. turning, crumpled to the floor with a moan and all was darkness. Thru the silent house resounded the beat of footsteps of Jew Shuck as he approached to bid his daughter goodbye. He paused before the heavy curtains, then gradually drew them aside. The great room with its embroidered draperies was quiet with the deadening stillness that fol lows a tragedy, and the oppressive sweetness of incense hung in the air. His expectant eyes turned to the shrine where one ray of brilliant sunshine shone on the silent god, grinning in malicious triumph over his secret. Jew Shuck stood midst the material evidences ot his wealth and power, alone. — they mocked him. He, win, was the w ealthiest and most powerful, was in reality the poorest,— T ' ao Su was gone. An omnious silence fell over Chinatown as darkness came; not a soul stirred; for Hate, that powerful and ugly ruler was to burst out that night in all his terrible glcry. The terrible Hop Sings, incensed over the broken bethrothal vow. once more to clach with their old enemy, the Hip Sings. Treachery was in the air and sinister figures crept to and fro. Suddenly a shot rang out: the battle was on. Torches flared, knives flashed, and demoniac yellow faces rose and fell, and like frenzied beasts the yellow horde fought THE FANGS OF THE TYPHOON OR THE TRAGEDY OF THE ELIZABETH MAKEY By F. C. RIPLEY Hev there, you dirty scum I Get a move on What cVva tink you ' re bein ' paid for? To loat? Get your sea-bag and into the Foc ' sle with vou! , The man thus addressed stood wearily at tne rail over which he had appeared some five min- utes previous from a small Sampan. His face was pale and covered with a thick stubble of reddish beard shot with grey. His hair was un- kempt and of the same hue. while his clothes were very cheap and of a much faded blue color which seemed to contrast with his large shining grev eves. He was a picture of despondency as he stood with his shoulders slightly stooped and his extremely unkempt appearance, amid the bustle and confusion of the jabbering Japanese ■■oolies, coupled with the ribald curses and shouts of the Captain and Mates. Picking his bag off the deck, he walked lamely towards the Forecastle, drinking in the lines of the liHle tramp schooner Elizabeth Makey , which was now loading crates of toys, furniture, and a large asortment of other things, such as textile and woven goods for Australian ports. Stimmes, the blustering first Mate, in the em- nlov of American owners, noticed this man, with peculiar interest, and labeled him in his mind as a sick ■■farmer , trying to get home. -Well he concluded to himself, we ve no time for ' foolishness, I ' m go ' n ' na make him earn his pay, if I have to pound the teeth out uv him. As the last crates were being swung aboard bv the creaking crane on the stone quay ' Doc Stauber, as the sailors afterwards dubbed him came out of the fcc ' sle dressed as before, except that his coat was off and his frayed sleeves of his dirty shirt rolled up, revealing an expanse of hairy freckled arm. -Clreadv the Yokahoma longshoremen weie leading the decks in a half-naked, colorful pro- cession, while ■■Chips , the carpenter, led three of the crew to the first hatch and Proceeded to sling on the cover. Putting the stops, he lashed the tarpaulin in, and tramped to the next one. ■■Here vou in the blue suit! Heave the miz- zen peak ' harard. You, Mac! stow the shears and vank off the gaskets with Johnston. Heave vou with the cork leg, heave, 1 tell you before I break your blasted neck ' yelled Stimmes and then— ■■A11--1 right, you amidship, in with the starboard breast lines-Thafs good,-now heave in the for ' ard lines — fine. Then with slow creakings, the towing hawse., from a violently smoking steam tug, slow!) tightened, and the boat was in the stream, head- ine out to the channel. , , „ As the ship slowly moved through the slug- gish green water, away from the teeming thrn- fng citv. the soul of Doc thrilled with joy at again being set free from the pulse and throb of smoke- kiden Yokahoma. His whole body was starved for the great open spaces, from which he had been held so long. He had been hurt in an acci- dent, sustained a year or more before, while working in the Inland Sea, as a lighthouse engin- eer for the Japanese government. The warm s in poured down its stifling radi- ance on to the cluttered deck of the little three mastsd schooner, as the perspiring, cursing men, slowly, inch by inch, sweated the sails up, only to have them hang motionless in the steaming air. A few minutes later, with a shrill whistle from the tug, the line was cast off and hauled aboard. The vessel, its motive power cut off, slowed down, until finally, the ripples at the bow. ceased to wrinkle the smooth water, and the Elizabeth Makey coasted along with the tide toward the great blue Pacific Ocean. Along about four in the afternoon a slight breeze sprang up. rippling the mirror-like water. The sheets were run out and the vessel slowly and lazily coasted down the bay. Kindly old Captain Anderson, with bis long nowing grey beard, was one of the religious old captains who believed in keeping the Sabbath holy. He also believed in treating his men with respect. The ideas were not exactly in keeping with those cf Stimmes. yet Stimmes always tried to be decent during his superior ' s stay on deck. As Captain Anderson was quite old, lie spent much time below, out of the hot sun or wind, thus leaving the rough shod Mr. Stimmes to run the ship as he would. His first outburst came while rounding Misaki Light, as the sun sank to rest behind the sunny slopes of the mystic Fujiyama. Here, you! yelled Stimmes, get come sand and canvas and clean up that spot where some bloody bloke spilled the paint. Doc slowly removed his pipe from his mouth and looked toward the Poop, where the stocky mate stood, his feet apart and his red shirt blaz- ing in the late afternoon sun. I ' m off watch, sir! called back Doc, as he retreated further into the shadow of the long boat. No talkin ' hack, bellowed the mate, set to work before I haffa come down there and clout you with a belayin ' pin. Beggin ' your pardon, sir. but I ' m off watch. ' retorted the ' sick man, a dangerous glint crept into his grey eye. With a leap the mat? negotiated the six steps from the poop to the deck. Doc stood up ami waited for the inevitable onslaught. On came the mate, swinging his arms like a gorilla, mur- der in his blood-shot eyes. His fury was so great that, when he was within three feet of his vu- tim he struck blindly, but missing, hit only emp ty air He halted, eyes blazing and breathing hard until he finally saw Doc standing, watching him, near the main-mast. The crew having stop- ped work at the first unusual command, we-e now looking on what promised to be a royal battle, one-sided however, because if the mate were damaged. Doc would be tried for mutiny. Slowly, with beavv steps, the mat approached the un flinching Doc. until their bodies nearly touched. Stauber feeling sick and faint began slowly to back awav. The next instant the mate ' s ham-like fist shot out and caught him neatly under the chin. With a sob he rolled over on the deck backwards. The crew gasped; Doc. the blood running from the corners of his mouth, got slow- ly and dizzily to his feet, and leaned against the liiast for support. Pushing the hair away from his forehead, with the back of a trembling hand, he perceived the mate, with his hands on his hips laughing at him. All right. Doc, git your sand an ' canvas from Chips and light in, he rumbled with a wicked sneer on his scarred visage. Ya have about fif- teen minutes before dark and then ya can grab a lantern and work the rest of the watch. Doc ' s whole body was sore and his spirit numb with the crookedness of this vile thing laughing at him. With a curse he reached d wn behind him and pulled an iron belaying pin from the pin-rail at the base of the mast. - - - « As the last pink rays died from the slopes of Fujivama and the grey pall of evening settled over the Sagami Bav, the venerable Captain fin- ished bandaging the head of the unconscious mate, and pronounced that he had a chance to live Turning to the trembling Doc, he said: Xow, Mr. Stauber, I want you and me to understand each other. As it stands, the mate asked of you an unreasonable thing, and your pride pricking you, you refused twice to do as he told vou. He coming down, struck you, and then again you refused by throwing this belaying pin at him. Am I not right? Yes. but I saw red for a minute and acted blindly. I understand that you were mad only because of the injustice done to you. The damage is done however, and you will have to be put in irons until I can get in touch with the Agents. If the man lives, I ' ll put in a good word for you. Then turning his back on Doc and his two es- corts, he busied himself with his medical chest. Doc was unceremoniously led further aft, down an alley away and into the lazarette, where he was hand-cuffed and given a blanket to lie on. short time later the Steward came in with a steaming cup of bet coffee and a few little necessities: for he was kind-hearted, though little wizened and timid. The Captain sent in a Bible to help pass away the many hours of im- prisonment. In the next week that followed there was hardlv a breath of wind and the sun rose and sank with maddening punctuality. The ship lay sta-k and calm, the sails patched and grey, hang- ing in long graceful folds, while the oily Pacific swell rolled from out of the southern sea. At everv heave the boat creaked, the spars slatted this ' wav and that, while the men fretted and rursed at the delay, the blistering sun and the ceaseless banging of the rigging. To the east stretched in a blue haze the land of Nippon, sweltering Nippon. The occasional ram squalls with their accompanying zephyrs relieved the endless monotony, as day followed day. Aft, the mate tossed in his liunk. st tiiiK stronger and mere ferocious every lay. His wound was healing but it made him dizzy to get out of bed. Every time the Steward made his appearance the mate would blow off steam, repri- manding the inoffensive man as well as confiding in him. Through his talk the Steward could Bee revenge gradually creeping in over the mate ' s sanity. Doe was getting much better under the existing conditions than he perhaps would have been otherwise. His health was rapidly improv- ing and he was gaining his strength by leaps and bounds. The old Captain for nearly the whola week had kept to his room, appearing only once in a while for his meals and leaving about all the sailing of his ship to Hans Plutich, the sec- ond mate. The Steward shook his head gravely over the condition of the Captain. The Skipper don ' t look a bit well. I think he ' s hurting himself by not eatin ' regular. Any way he don ' t seem to care a bean about his meals or the boat, he confided to Doc. About the ninth day out, after the boat had traveled some four hundred miles, driven hither and thither by vagrant puffs, the Steward came into the lazarette with dinner for the lone occu- pant. He remarked with a worried look on his face: Doc. I can ' t imagine what ' s become of the Skipper. His door is locked and I can ' t raise him. He ain ' t eaten since noon yesterday and even then it was a very light meal. He ' s a ' gon ' a ' starve himself if he don ' t look out. Maybe ' twould be a good idea to have old Hans force Andersen ' s door and see if he ' s well. He can ' t be in good health if he is abstaining like this, replied Doc, as he rattled the links of his handcuffs while procuring a slice of bread. I think I ' ll do that tomorrow morning. I hate to disturb the old boy if he ' s meditatin ' . Maybe he has somethin ' to eat in his own room. for all I know. Maybe that ' s it. I guess that he don ' t like this weather anyways, ejaculated Doc with a sigh. I guess I sure doa ' t like it either. Early the next morning the Steward cam excitedly in and announced to Doc that just as the grey dawn was breaking in the still east, the helmsman had heard a faint call from below. Informing the second mate of this, he had dis- missed it from his mind. This morning the sc ond mate and the Steward had forced the droi to the Captain ' s room, and found him seated at his table: his head buried in his Bible. Lifting him up, they found him dead, though his body was still warm. His cheeks wre hollow and his eyes sunken as though from the ravages of some devastating disease. There was a peaceful smile on his white-bearded, bronzed features. And concluded the Steward, that makes that half crazv Stimes. the Skipper cf the ship! Doc shivered, If I could only get rid of these shackles. He ' s bound to stage a little raid in the lazarette when he gets up. S-sh, whispered the Steward, I ' ll give you the kevs to your cuffs and keep the door locked so he can ' t come in here. It ' s taken us about ten days to come abreast of Shikku Islands, but I guess we ' ll have some good weattter In a spell. We ought to be out two weeks more, but lay low! Early the next morning saw Stimmes on deck. His head was bandaged and his face appeared gaunt and hungry under a thick stubble of whis- kers, raised during his period of convalescence. ■•Mr Plutich, I am Captain of this Packet now, an- don ' you forget it. Wat 1 say goes, no matter if I tell ya to jump overboard. Sabe? Such was the Stimmes introduction as he pro- ceeded to take a sight at the sun. t noon the body of the Captain was sewed up in a tarpaulin hv Sails and placed in the hatch cover ready for burial. At Stimmes ' orders two men grasped the cover and placed it on the rail. All right, let ' im slid?, you blitherskates, he said. Thar ain ' t agoin ' to be no prajrers tliis time. , ., Several of the sailors looked at each other and then at the new Skipper. The sailors with the hatch paused a moment, l)ut only a moment, because Stimmes hurlmg himself ' off the poop, plunged through the crew and heaved the body overboard with his own liands He then turned upon the crew and drove them into the Foc ' sle with his bare lists. That night a gentle breeze sprang up from the southwest, driving the Elizabeth Makey toward the shore of Kyushu Island. In two or three hours the wind shifted to the souUi and then for several minutes from the east. Finally it died out altogether, and the ship which such •I short time ago had been frolicking along over the dark water with all sails pulling, was now flatly becalmed again under a heavy, heated dark- ' ' All through the early hours of the night the Captain paced the deck, muttering and grum- Iding to himself about the wind, the men, and the oppressive darkness. Even and ancn he would pauao bv the rail, staring moodily over the stern from whence a long low running grountl- ..well ' was beginning to make itself manifest. Mwavs a few feet away from him was the yel- low flare of the binnacle light, dimly lighting up the features of the sailor who dozed at the stiU ' Markman.— don ' t you slcuch at the wheel! growled the irritated Skipper. Yes sir ' sullenly answered the sailor. And thus the hours wore on. marked only by the clear clang of the ship ' s bell and the tramp- tramp — of Stimmes ' shoes. Toward morning Stimmes began to see vast •,nd vague forms, flittering in the dark ngging, and hear ghoulish noises in his ears. In his fevered brain ghostly ships came to the side ot his vessel and with empty cries their Captains hailed him, only to sail oft in the stifling breeze with thin pale sails bellied. The scenes shifted and his boat was riding in a sulphrous, fi y Pit the great glowing waves rolhng under the keel with scorching blasts. . ..gav — he panted to the helmsman. D a hear them noises, see them flames an ' ships. Tliis is Hell. Say, ya know, that where I was when I was sick — lots a fire, shootin an ' snappin ' in the air an ' thousands of red devils swarmin ' an ' a makin ' spocky noises. Where I was I saw the whole ship an ' — an ' — I was hit on the head. Who hit me on the head ' . ' This with shininK. bleary eyes, distended nervous fingers and a crafty stooping posture. You ' ve been up all night, sir. V ' ou had bettiv git some sleep. They ' s a big ground swell pulliii ' up astern an ' the stars hev rings aroun ' ' em. as he instinctively cowered further from tlie maniac. Sleep. he fairly screamed, — Sleep! Who hit me, my man ' ? he demanded in a low voice, as though once more balanced. The sailor, thinking it might pay to tell, ans- wered, Doc Stauber, the one mit the cork leg. At this the mate crouched lowe , looked this way and that, with contorted features, and hack- ing away, was swallowed up in the hot inky black- ness. Whew, w-hispered the helmsman, I ' d better call the second mate before he does murderin ' ! Plutich was scared, his knees trembled, his erstwhile rosy face turned several shades of grey and he tried to piercs the blackness with frightened eyes. Crazy, he breathed, — crazy, an ' a storm a-comin ' up! After a hasty conference it was finally de- cided that the best move would be for the two to arm themselves and wait for daylight. It th. ' Captain was to appear they were going to knock him unccnscious and put him below out of the way. But where in the Sam Hill is he? croaked the mat?. The sun. a dull misty ( rh on the horizon, ro.se sullenly above the water, casting a lurid, heated, grey light on the becalmed ship. The waters we-e under the influence of a great grey oily groundswell — bearing up from the soutli- west like so much molter lead flowing over tlic edges when the melting pot is jarred. Down below, in the lazarette, paced Doc. his hair rumpled and his bands l)ehind his back, minus their band-cuffs. ■• lat ' s the matter with this Packet anyhow ' ' —Dead Skipper, crazy first mate, and a cowardly second mate, and the only one who knows any thing about the coast is in the lazaretti, afraiil of the maniac! Wonde- what ' s become of him anyway. He ain ' t been seen since this Tnornins; — probably around somewheres. though. His brow wrinkled with anxiety. Above the clatter and bang of the slatting rigging. Doc beard the thumping of running feet. the squeak of blocks and the dull thudding of spars. Suddenly he seemed to hear above th • ncise on deck, a low moaning hum. as if ten thousand bees were approaching f-om their hives With bated breath Stauber listened in fascin- ation. The low drone h had heard but once be- fore and it froze his hlooil. With the approaching hollow roar, all the noises on deck ceased, save for the scream of Plutich — Here she com?s, men hang on! From then on. all seamed confusion to Doc ' s excited senses. He remembered the boom of the gale and the keeling over of the ship, until she seemed on her beam ends. He remembered find- ing himself lying uncomfortably doubled up with all manner of supplies around and on top of him. He began to collect his senses from different parts of the small cluttered room. The boat was heeling way down and plunging and diving in the most erratic manner. Above, he could hear the roar of the gale through the rigging and the thud of the seas against the bows. From the round manhole above the lazarette came a steady sprinkle of water. As the boat took a sickening plunge into the trough of the wave. Doc covered his white face and waited for the end, which did not come with this wave or several others that followed. Beginning to feel strangely ashamed of him- ;elf he crawled slowly out of the soggy mess surrounding him and staggered over the reeling noor towards the door. Gaining this, he tried to open it, but it was locked. Backing up he made a plunge for it and splintered the panels. minute later he was floundering up the companion stairs, down which at intervals came a flood of salty water. On deck he was blinded and chilled by the cold stinging spray that came hurtling across the planks like bursts of shrapnel. Creeping along the break of the poop, he ascended the ladder and was nearly blown overboard bv a sudden blast of wind that came •sweeping across the spray-filled sea. Two black- clad wind-blown figures clung to the wheel like le che : while the boat, now under bare poles, struggled along, diving, plunging and rushing amidst clouds of wind-blown spume. Clinging to the binnacle and wet to the skin, he shouted to one of the drenched figures and inquired about the course. ni,„„ -Nor ' -east by Nort, headin ' for Bungo Chan- nel, bellowed the figure. Doc was about to say something, when the words were frozen in his mouth. Astern, there piled up, tossing, spray-blown cold and green, a comber of monstrous size, leaping higher and higher as it advanced toward the counter. With a frightened shudder he slid to the deck and wouni his arms about the pedestal of the bmna- ele There was a moment of suspense— then a dull roar as the icy water splashed and tossed w!th a rush over the stern completely burying the laboring men at the wheel. The force of the comber swung the vessel sideways and down she went on the starboard side in a smother of fly- ing broken water. %oc lay clinging to his pedestal a few sec- onds, which seemed as hours to 1 ™ F ' na looking up, he perceived one man wres Img with the wheel where there had previously been two Struggling against the wind and spray. Doc craw ld Alongside the loue figure and put his weight into the work. Aloft, rope ends were flying out m the wind Clinging for a desperate hold o the j.b ta streamed the tatters of a .ail, while the other tatters fluttered from the mizzen-mast. The bulwarks along the starboard rail were gone, ex- cept for several gaunt ribs sticking through a maelstrom of water and odds and ends of deck equipage. Glancing to port, Doc noted a high rugged bluff towering above the tossed angry water. Cape Toi, he shouted to his comrade. I in- stalled a light there. We ' re sate out here. Change the ccurse to nor-noreast. For three long hours of struggle these two brave men wrestled with the kicking wheel, while seas raced madly passed them and spray flew stinging like shot. Bare poles they were under too; not a sail was set, or could be set in such a gale. At the end of the third hour Cape Ura came into sight above the haze, behind which they were sure to find rest and shelter. In fifteen minutes they were abreast of the cape and could see calm water, the picturesque sampans and the little village nestling under the forest of evergreens, swaying gracefully under the slackening wind. Barring their way to safety lay a great reef extending out under the sea for many miles and making the waters sesthe and boil over It. With the storm fores-le rove to the mast the Elizabeth Makey raced for the bar like a fright- ened, though crippled bird, while Doc and the sailor steadied the helm. Just as the first breaker was reached a dark form detached itself from the companionway, crept along in the shadow of the poop and steal- thily up the stairs. Groping to his belt, Stimmes pulled out a short knife and advanced across the poop toward the two at the wheel. Doc, with a chill of terror, percieved him just as a sailor crouching under the windward shrouds, yelled to him to look out, and several more oil-skinned figures rushed across the car- eening deck to save the man who had saved them. Doc released the wheel and walked slowly and wearily backward, away from the insane master. With a sudden cry, Stimmes was at his throat. Weakened from weary hours at the wheel, he threw up his arms in self defense and backed against the rail. A bright flash in the sunlight, a heave cf the storm-worn ship, and with a muf- fled cry the two tottered and fell into the seeth- ing cauldron, into which the ship had plunged. As the dving sunset light filtered through the quiet trees trees on the hillside, the ' ■Elizabeth Makev glided into the little l)ay of Imawatsu. Heave the lead. .Jamison! called Plutich, who had come out of hiding now that the danger was over. , , ■ By the deep six. sir, as Jamison hauled in the tagged line. Chips, let go the anchor! Lively, now! Thirty fathoms in the hause! bawled Plutich. The two men at the bows worked feverishly as the anchor splashed to a muddy rest and the chain rumbled out. Thirty fathoms at the hause pipe, came floating back over the quiet evening air. That ' s good, muttered Plutich, and went below. MAMMY JANE ' S PARROT By DELLE FRANCIS SINCLAIR Jed Geoffrey was in a very bad condition for one of his age and extremely good-looks. When one is twenty, blessed with as many good qual- ities as it is safe for one human pjrson to have and a few that aren ' t, to be in any frame of mind other than the joy of life is indeed very tragic. Of course, one naturally supposes that when a certain youth sighs despondently when there is absolutely nothing to sigh about, one nearly always finds that there is a damsel whose eyes are as fair as the sky, and so on, and so on. Unfortunately in Jed ' s case, being mora than an average young man anyway, there was more than the average sigh, explained by the fact that there was more than one girl to account for Jed ' s re- markable exhalations. Roxana Sage had come to the town of Belle- haven a year before Jed graduated from a col- lege in the east. Having won every masculine heart, and the disapproval of every feminine mind, Roxana longed for a new victim to fall into the depths of her violet eyas and swim hopefully before succumbing to her dulcet, cul- tivated, throaty tones. Roxana ' s pleas were not in vain, for in June, that very year, with all the newest styles and graces with which to win a simple maiden ' s heart, young Jed Geoffefy came home from col- lege. A few nights later, a dance was held on the broad lawn of Judge Geoffery ' s home, and then the fateful Cupid wounded poor unsuspecting Jed with a double arrow. Tall and straight in his evening suit. Judge Geoffery welcomed all the arriving guests with the old world courtesy that seemed a very part of him. Bv him, slender and eager, like a highly- strung race horse, stood Jed, smiling and bowing with a grace that came from his courtly father. A young lady came up and spoke pleasantly to the Judge. Miss Brant, allow me to introduce my son, Jed. Mrs. Brant was kind enough to allow me to stav with her during my visit to Cambridge, and Miss Penelope showed me all ths interesting places. I have been so glad to know that you in- tended to make our town a permanent residence, Miss Penelope. I ' m very glad to know you. Mr. Geoffery. Your father and I have had such int3resting times together. Do you remember the day of the museum, Mr. Geoffery? answered Miss Penel- ope, and Jed stood amazed. Never in all his gay young life had he seen any one quite like the tiny, fairv-person before him. His usually witty and bright mind failed him utterly, and he stam- mered some hasty remark to hide his astonish- ment. Petite she was. but that only added to her attractiveness. Her eyes were blue, the blue of a clear lake, and her hair was like a flame held in captivity by myriad tiny golden cords. After a few minutes ' conversation she moved away. More guests came, but tor the life of him, Jed could never remember who they were, that is, until Roxana appeared. The courtly Judge introduced Cupid ' s second Lorelei. Miss Roxana Sage. Miss Sage ' s mother visi- ted us this winter and Jed paid no atten- tion to the rest of his father ' s conversation; again he felt the sharp prick of the mischievous sprite. In a guwn of whits, Roxana was a vision In conjure up the thoughts of a sparkling water fall, with maiden-hair ferns and forget-me-nots bordering its mosy banks. Indeed one could not forget this exquisitive maid, with her violst eyes and her angel ' s smile. Too many had already found this to be the case, and Jed was no luck- ier than the rest. In fact, even as they, he was already poised on the brink, ready at a moment ' s notice to plunge into the dark, shadowy pool of Roxana ' s eyes. Jed tried in vain to think where he had seen any one with such eyes and at last gave it up in despair when he found himself telling poor Mrs. Whitfcrd that he most certainly thought that the new minister ' s views on certain passages of Exodus we-e entirely erroneous. Jed had never seen the minister, and would never have agreed with Mrs. Whitford if he had: there- fore he was convinced that he was rather un- settled mentally. He Quietly excused himself and went to bed, only to dream of Penelope ridmg u white horse and Rcxana a black one, each pull- ing him in an opposite direction. Things w=nt from bad to worse. One day Jed firmlv believed that Penelope was the sweet- est gi-1 on earth. The next day he would see Roxana cool, and lovely, and he would declare that she, and she only, was the girl of his heart. For two months poor Jed wandered about in a coma, too dazed to realize what was happenmg. At last he fled to his motlier and poured out his tale of woe. , . t Two davs Mrs. Geoffery racked her brain, but in no wav could she find any clue as to the solu- tion of her son ' s dilemma. At last while she was hemming a torn pollow slip, she remembe-ed an old saving of her mother ' s. For awhile she thought, and at least she smiled mysteriously. Calling to her son, she laid before him her plan. Go to each one, and ask for the scrapings from her breadboard. Say that Mammy Jane has a parrot which has suddenly developed a peculiar illness. You know Mammy Jane is about the most superstitious person on earth. One of her favorite recipes for all ailments is some queer brew which must contain some scrap- ings from a strange bread-board. That s a good reason. Find out which one has the least, and vou mav rest assured that she will make you the better wife. ' She is a poor house-keeper who leaves dough on her bread-board. ' Jed has his doubts as to the verity of this statement; but he had reached the ft ge where he was willing to try anything to relieve h.m of his uncertainty,, so he followed his mothers ad- On the road he hesitated, his courage failing: but a poor excuse was better than none, so with a heavy heart and a clouded mind Jed entered the lane that led to Penelope ' s house. It happened, though not by accident, that just as Jed reached the lane, Penslope appeared in the rose garden, with a huge basket and a pair of shears. She was intently studying a rose-bud when Jed came up and knocked at the gate. Oh, Dickie — I beg your pardon, Mr. Geof- fery, I thought it was my little brother. Won ' t you come in? Daddy has gone to the Post Of- fice, but if you want to see him, I ' m very sure he ' ll be back in a very short time. Benny has some delicious lemonade if you ' d go to the porch. I ' ll come too, for it ' s very hot out here in thia blistering sun . I ' m awfully afraid of getting sun- burned, aren ' t you? But with a nice brown com- ple.xion like yours one oughtn ' t to mind any kind of weather. Won ' t you come up to the house? I ' mm sure daddy will be here directly. Jed had almost told her it wasn ' t her father at all whom he had come to see, but instinct told him to keep quiet until he had proved her. In the shelter of the great porch, however, it was difficult to say much of importance. It was much nicer to lie back in the wicker chair and listen to Penelope tell about her escapades at — where was it — anyway it didn ' t matter — her voice wasn ' t so much like a stream now, it was like a bee, a busy, buzzing bee that bothered him with its incessant humming. He really should tell her about the parrot — no, it wasn ' t a bee at all; it was a tormenting buzz-saw. You know our Mammy Jane, don ' t you. Miss Brant? Well, she ' s awfully superstitious. Her Parrot has something wrong with it, and she wants to try one of her ' miracle-brews ' on it. It seems that the recipe calls for some bread- scrapings from some strange house. I know it ' s asking an awful lot of you, but would you let me have some, it you have any? At last the cru- cial minute had come. What was that? Oh, yes — scrapings— just a minute, I ' ll see — of course we are all thrilled to think that Mr. VanDenMaken had done that — you ' ll excuse me — I ' ll see. Yes — it was all the greatest pleasure for us — Finally there was silence, a deep, restful silence that filled Jed ' s heart with the thought of a tiny water-fall trick- ling down a narro w canyon. It was a pleasant, sleepy sound — it grew louder — it was like a bee — buzzing — why it was a buzz-saw again — now there were words — what — why it was Penelope back with a glass in her hand. I ' m awfully glad I found the bread-board, Mr. Geoffery. You see last week I made a lot of bread, and in the afternoon I had to go to your mothers ' tea, so I put the bread-board under a shelf, intending to clean it later. Wasn ' t it lucky that I did that? Now the dear parrot will get all well. See. here ' s a whole glass full. I ' m awfully glad that I— you aren ' t going, are you, Mr. Geof- fery? I thought you would stay until it was cooler, it does get so hot here in this town. I ' m awfully sorry. Yes, good bye — and if you ever want any more scrapings, just call on me. I ' ll fix you up. Goodbye! Jed mounted his frisky horse and rode away, mentally using many ungentlemanly terms. By the time he reached Roxana ' s house he was hot, tired and dusty. Out on the porch, where the breeze could cool her damp forehead, sat Roxana, bend- ing ove- a sampler, such as hung on the parlor walls of Jed ' s home. Obviously she was ■Bc:tirg tard; for she did not raise her head as Jed came slowb up the steps, feeling out of sorts with the whole world, Good afternoon, Miss Sage. he said in a rather limp tone, as he stood looking longingly at a soft comfortable chair near Roxana ' s. Why Mr Geoftery. I didn ' t expect anyone this afternoon, it ' s so warm and un- comfortable Won ' t you sit down ' . ' I ' ll make you some lemonade. Just sit right down and rest. Excuse me, please. With that, she whisked oft as briskly as the tempera- ture would permit, and soon Jed heard the cool sound of ice tinkling against a glass pitcher. , Presently Roxana appeared, bearing a tray with two tall, fragile glasses. When Jed tasted it, he felt he was sipping the nectar of the gods. After two hours spent most pleasantly, Jed bethought himself of his mission and asked for some bread-scrapings. Oh, I ' m so sorrv, Mr. Geoffery, I just made some bread this morning, but I always clean the board thoroughly, ' She is a poor house-keeper who leaves bread on her bread-board ' . . „ i, ■Why— But here let us say that the next month there was a wedding day in Belle- haven that far outshone anv lield previously. Miss Penelope Brant was the maid of honor, and looked charming in a new Paris frock. During the ceremony it was noticed by a very few that the bride and the groom ' s mother exchanged frequent glances, and once the bride giggled. Notwithstanding these minor mishaps, it passed oft most ele- gantly, and was deemed the best wedding ever held in that church. LANDENBER.6ER. WINTER. 1924 ffUBI.ICfMI NS BLUE AND WHITE WEEKLY The Blue and White Weekly was started in 1912 at the suggestion of George Fenimore, S ' 13. The first editor was William Bell ; the second, George Fenimore. From a small five-column 15-inch sheet, the paper has grown to its present size. In 1918, from the profits of the advertising, a small amount of type, chases and printer ' s table were bought. A room was rented in the Chamber of Commerce building, next door to a professional printer, who supervised the work at $5 per issue. All the labor was done by students after school, often late into the night. In 1920 the present print shop was started. It has now two linotype machines, and expects to enlarge its quarters in the near future. Its equipment at the present time enables the force to turn out a weekly paper and help in the publication of the Semi-Annual. The editorial staff: Harold Prendergast.

ElUDOl F IAt Et NUNTIUS Nuntius is a publication to which L. A. points with pride. It was the first Latin paper in the West, and during the six terms that it has been in existence it has acquired a large and wide circulation among the high schools of Southern California. It is published semi-monthly. Every other time there is an eight page issue, while the ordinary and original size is four pages. Football games, Latin Club minutes, and humorous features are writ- ten in Latin. The purpose of Nuntius is to interest the classical students in creative work in Latin, and a more intimate acquaintance with ancient life. The officers are: Editor: Jeannette Hagan. Assistant Editors: Blonch Barnett, and Annabel Wagner. Business Manager: Julius Jasper. THE HARBOR AT NIGHT ' Tis eve and o ' er the harbor still, Night slowly spreads her darksome pall ; The bay, the ships, the distant hill, Night slowly doth enshroud them all. Like time, effacing every scar Comes night, transforming common things. To every ship from keel to spar. The night a softened outline brings. The murky water that by day, Swirl, round the ships an oily gray. The night transforms to velvet green, And where it laps the ship ' s broad side. Reflects the moonlight ' s slanting beam. The multicolored pools of oil, Appear as if some witch ' s toil, Had snatched the rainbow from the sky, And brought its fragments here to lie. And so, throughout the harbor ' s length, All objects fall beneath her spell. Till morn appears and puts to flight, The Mute Magician, splendid night. — .Julius Beck. •Rfi NI 4 11«NS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES This is the first term the House of Representatives has functioned under the new school Constitution.

STAR AND CRESCENT The Star and Crescent Society needs an introduction to no one, for it has been in existence since 1876, three years after Los Angeles High School was founded. Every student looks forward to receiving the Star and Crescent pin from the time he enters the mighty portals of L. A. High School until he leaves them. It is an emblem signifying that he has become one of the many alumni of this great .school. The society consists of all upper grade cla. ' smen, and the officers are representatives of each class. The pre.sident is from the Senior A class, the vice-president from the Senior B cla.ss, the secretary from All class, and treasurer from the Bll cla.ss. There are two meetings each semester, the first being known as Senior A dav and the .second as Senior B day. The finst meeting of this term was held December 7. and the new officers were in.stalled. The Senior A ' s entertained with a delightful program. On Senior B dav. the Star and Crescent pins were presented to the graduating class by a grouD of Senior B girls. After the business of the dav. the Senior B ' s entertained the Senior A ' s. The officers of the societv for this term are: President: Stannard Smith. Vice-president: Rose Morehead. Secretary: Bernice Sommerfield. Treasurer: Frank Prescott. LANDENBfllGtR. WINTER. 1924 FORENSICS This year L. A. entered both the City and Southern California League in debating. The first debate was in the latter league. It was held on November 23, with Hollywood, in our auditorium. The question was: Resolved, that a Referee ' s Court would be the best solution to the problems of our civil courts. Margaret Peck and Arthur White, rep- resenting L. A., upheld the negative. The decision was unfortunately 2-1 in favor of Hollywood. The first round of City League debates took place on January 11, when all the City High Schools which are members of the League, debated the question: Resolved that the Phillipines should be given immediate independence. L. A. met Manual at home, on the affirma- tive of the question, and Hollywood at Hollywood on the negative. The affirmative team was Gordon Shallenberger and Edward O ' Don- nell, and the negative team was Lola Kern and Patterson French. The interclass debates have progressed very satisfactorily this term. The Senior B ' s were the victors in the semi-annual Senior contest. PLAYERS The Plavers Association was organized two years ago by students interested in dramatics. It is now the largest organization at L. A., the membership being open to all students in the school. A group of sixteen plays is produced each term entirely under the students ' direction. The purpose of the organization is first, to teach the worthy use of leisure time by inculcating an appreciation of the good, the true and the beautiful, through the medium of drama; second, to inculcate high ideals worthy purposes and true standards of conduct by the right use of the dramatic instinct through actual participation in play pro- duction and through providing vicarious experience for the audience, and third, to give a verv definite training in citizenship and leadership through giving youth the opportunity of meeting specific obligations and responsibilities in real life situations. The officers are: President: Douglas Montgomery. Vice-president: Helen Pease. Secretary: Eileen Brown. Treasurer: .John Rogers. PERICLEAN The Periclean Society was orjj:Hnized lour terms ago with a charter membership of 245. Since then the membership has averaged over 300 each term, an increase which shows unquestionably that the organi- zation has succeeded in its purpose which is to promote a higher stan- dard of scholarship among the students. To become a member of this society a student must have at least three ones and a two if carrying four solids, and all ones if carrying less than four solids. The Periclean Society is Chapter Four of the California Scholarship Federation. There arc three pins which may be worn by members of this organization that show the degree of member.ship. First term members are allowed to wear the green owl pin, two or more term members mav wear a Greek II pin, while students being Pericleans for four terms may wear the pin of the California Scholarship Federa- tion and also have the Federation Seal on their diplomas at graduation. Besides these privileges, the Pericleans enjoy many social events during the season. This term there have been, besides the usual dance and banouet, a picnic and a boys ' hike. The officers of the organization for this term are: President: William Bassett. Vice-president: Karin Anderson. Secretary: Hallene Hill. Treasurer: Paul Lloyd.

The society has endeavored to encourage enthusiasm in literary work and t o create a spirit of friendship among the girls. This semester we studied the works of several prominent authors, such as O ' Henry Collections O ' Brvan Short Stories, Atlantic Collections, Literature Geography and others, under guidance of our well known faculty adviser. Miss Mason. The requirements that are necessary to become a member are that you be upper grade, and high recommendations in Eng ish. With a limited membership of about 25 students, the pick of the literary lights of the school, the Aristonian is one of the most important organization at L. A The social activities of the term included an initiation tea given at the home of Gladys Vorhes, where each new girl read the required original stoTv or poem; A dance given in the middle of January concluded the social affairs of the Aristonians this term „,. ,iH«nt- Fdith The officers are : President : Marian Robertson ; Vice-peside.i Edith Thornton; Secretary: Valencia Perkins; Treasurer: AHe e Hunter The members are : Eloise Bascom, Christine Bauer, Ruth Biistoi.

SCRIBBLERS The Scribblers ' Club, the purpose of which is to encourage writing among the girls of the Los Angeles High School, was organized nine terms ago, in two divisions: an upper and lower section. Later these two sections united, forming one club, which now has thirty members. We have had interesting meetings this term. Short stories and poems written bv the girls, were read at each meeting, followed by construc- tive criticism and discussion. The club received letters this term from Bertraiid Sinclair and B. M. Bowers, both promment authors. Their daughter, Dele Sinclair, is a member of Scribblers. We had our initiation tea and two dances this term. The officers are : President: Eleanor Bunnell.

PHILOMATHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY The Philomathian Literary Society was organized in the fall of 1922 by a group of girls deeply interested in the study of good literature. It is the aim of the society to further an interest and participation m the study and writing of short stories, plays, and poems. This term has been yery successful because of delightful and bene- ficial meetings that were held semi-monthly. A great deal of the suc- cess was due to Miss Lucy Woolery, the Club ' s sponsor. An initiation tea for the new members was giyen at the home ot the president. Blanche Ansley, October 6. Later in the term a dance was given at the home of Mildred Shearer.

Interesting events of the term were: the short story contest; the dec- lamation contest; the oratorical contest, which was held under he auspices of Forum; and a mock trial. Other features of the term were the initiation, a social, a dance and the final Forum banquet. The ten minutes of Parliamentary Drill which precedes the program at each meeting was especially interesting this term. The officers of the society this term are : President: Arthur White. Vice-president: Dorothy Gamier. Secretary: Jessica Heber. Treasurer: John Barnett. Sergeant-at-arms: Fred Rust. LANDENBER-GER. WINTER. 1924 HOUSE AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE The House and Grounds Committee is one of the hardest working organizations in the school. Too much credit cannot be given to the girls for their fine work in keeping the buildings and campus in good order. The Committee was started seven terms ago under the supervision of Mr. Paxton in order to create an interest in the appearance of the school among the students. In the past there have been two divisions, boys ' and girls ' , but this term there is a girls ' division only. Eleanor Bowdle is the chairman, while her efficient workers are: Ellene Brinnistool, Elizabeth Warren, Charlene Ritch, Lillian Cherniss, Phyllis Babcock, Alace Jones, Dorothy Hayes, Norma Willson Caroline Burt, Grace Bowen, Peggy Parington, Clarice Springer, Ruth Emerson, Esther Hoke, Dorothy Van Patten, Gertrude Rogers, Karin Anderson, Edith Clayton, Dorothy Tregoning, Mildred Auer, Charlene Spencer, Helen Houglond, Nora McGarvin, Hortence Labucherie, Helene Cald- well, Monica Phares.

The Glee Club sings very difficult four-part songs at many school entertainments, and also on occasions outside of school. This term the Glee Club has completed a successful year, by holding our Annual Glee Club Re- union, and singing at many functions outside of school. The most important thing we have accomplished this year is the establishment of a uniform sweater, which will be carried as a tradition of the Club.

Not only has it played for assemblies and dramatic productions, but has furnished the overture and march for the Commencement exercises, and has given several programs outside of school. The Chamber Music Society, a branch of the orchestra, is fos- tering the studv of chamber music and ensemble effects under the able direction of Miss Jeter. It is a new society, just organized this term, but it promises much for the future. The Junior Orchestra studies and plays less difficult compositions and is made up almost entirely of lower class- men. It furnishes the mu.sical part of the L. A. H. S. Players ' productions. It is under the supervision of Miss Goodrich. The officers of the Senior Orchestra are: Concert Mistress: Emily Korstad; Manager: Milton Levitt; Librarian: Ruth Reavis.

STAGE CREW The S in Stage Crew also stands for service to the school in all the various departments. When the Crew was first started, the work was voluntarily and irregular, but during the World War the demand was so great that one period a day was set aside for the work, and this has been con- tinued up to the present time. It is now a regular subject, the boys receiving a credit and a nominal pay for the many hours required building sets of scenery and for rehearsals. The members of the Crew and the positions the hold follow: Manager: Charles Marks. Assistant Manager: Boyd Dunbar. Electrician: Kenneth Manning. Flyman: Walton Hubbard. Assistant Flyman: Vernon Barrett. Props.: William Long. Assistant Props.: Charles McCormack. BOTANY CLUB The Botany Club is first and foremost a study club, to become ac- quainted with the native plants and the cultivated species, in this part of California. For this purpose the club visits, on monthly hikes, the mountains, canyons, valleys and beaches of this region. Thus they learn about the plants in their native haunts, and their characteristics. The members of the club are making individual collections and a herbarium, for the school, which will contain specimens of the most in- teresting species — classified according to their haunts. This term the club has visited Mt. Hollywood and Griffith Park to learn the vegetation of the coastal hills, Los Flores Canyon for the shrubbery typical of the foothills near the sean, and Millard ' s Canyon for the trees, ferns and vegetation of the mountain ridges. The first president of this organization was Malcolm Mojonier, the second Dillard Lee and the third and acting one is Harold Kleinhall. The vice-president is Clancy Hathaway, the secretary is Lucille Vaughn and the treasurer is Margaret Hecke. CHEM-TRY CLUB The Chem-try Club was the first club of its kind to be organized in a high school of Los Angeles, and has only been in existence since 1J21. Many interesting experiments are made by experts where the mate- rials are too expensive or too rare to be used in the separate classes by students This vear demonstrations consisted of the manufacture ot liquid air, volcanoes, and electric furnaces. One of the features of the club ' s work is the holding of contests among the various chemistry classes in writing formulas, equations, and problems; both speed anti accuracy counting in determining the winners. The aim of the Chem-try club may be expressed by their motto: We take the ' mis ' out of chemistry and emphasize the try . The first meeting of the term was held in the g.vm and was known as the Chem-try Club ' s Get Acquainted Party. The officers for this term are : President: Oliver Couch. Vice-president: Helen Crane. Secretary: Alace Jones. Treasurer: Martha Harlan. RADIO CLUB Many boys in the school are interested in radio. An incurable habit of the radio bug is the desire for argument on any subject pertaining to his hobby. The primary object of the Radio Club is to afford an opportunity for such discussion and interchange of ideas, and incidentally to enjoy talks by local experts. Meetings are held bi-weekly. A complete transmitting and receiving station under government lic- ense is maintained by the club, together with facilities for practice in the code, which affords an opportunity to novices in this interesting field to qualify themselves for government tests and operation of their own sets. Of the members, two have first class commercial operators ' licen- ses and eight are licensed as amateur operators, a license being essen- tial to the operation of a transmitting set. Mr. Stanton of the Physics department is faculty adviser of the club. The officers are : President: Edward Tuttle. Vice-president: Myron Hexter. Secretary : Philip Casper. Treasurer: Allen Murray. The members are: Tom Chase, Myron Albertson, Howard Grove, Mauro Herrera, Eugene Longevan, Robert Merrill, Schild Lufkin, Calvin Smith, Clyde Smith, Charles Stewart, Robert Southwick, Kenneth Stod- dard, George Taylor, Hamilton Vary. CINEMA CLUB The Cinema Club is a comparatively new organization, the idea of a motion picture club having been originated only two terms ago. Last term the constitution and by-laws were adopted and now an active pro- gram of eight picture presentations is being carried out, the movies being held on the alternate Thursdays. The Club has as its aim the desire to create among the students of the school an interest in better, cleaner, and more artistic pictures; to point out the advantages of the Motion Picture Projection Course, and to give to the members of the club an opportunity to study practical motion picture work. The officers are: President: Charles Marks. Vice-president: Helen Pease. Secretary : Bonar Dyer. Treasurer: Harry Crosthwaite. . , o . The active members are : Jessica Heber, Bonar Dyer, Charles Stewart, Violet Oppeneer, Fred Hodge. , , , i tt The ex-officio members are: Willard Sheldon, Clarence Mouck. Harry ' An ' interesting experiment tried this term was the running of an entire film by two girls, Helen Pease and Jessica Heber. BIG L. A, The Big L. A. Society consists of all boys who have earned a letter in any major sport. It is a live society and any boy in the school would be proud to have his name on its roll. It is the aim of the society to promote clean sportsmanship among the students of the school, and to encourage an interest in the lower grades for athletics of all sorts. At the end of the term a banciuet was held where the captains of the sports for the coming term were elected. The officers are : President: Pete Mazzetti. Vice-president: Vance Weaver.

LATIN CLUB The Latin Club had its inception in a desire among the students to establish a bond of friendship and to encourage an interest in the study of Latin. Any student having completed one and one-half years of Latin and being desirous of furthering his understanding of the lan- guage, is eligible for membership. Under the able direction of Miss McNaughton, the club ' s sponsor, combined with the officers ' efforts, several entertaining programs were given. The outstanding social events for this term are the reception for the new members and the annual Roman banquet. The officers are: President, Patterson French; Vice-president, Ruth Frost; Secretary, Marion Buck; Treasurer, John Hadley.

COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club was organized in 1920 with the purpose to promote interest in the commercial work offered at Los Angeles High School. In the three years of the Club ' s existence it has proved itself to be one of the peppiest and livest organizations in the school, and many social events occur each term. tt- ,. u i The Commercial Club is the business club of Los Angeles High School and it is the duty of the organization to continue to uphold the principles set forth bv the commercial classes of this school. The Club ' s activities are greatly promoted through the sponsonng ability of Mr. Reillv. To become a member of this organization it is necessary that a student take one term of commercial work. The Club meets weekly, entertainment and business mettings are held alternately. The officers are : President: Barnes Ward. Vice-president: Paul De La Vergne. Secretary: Laura Kwasigroch. Treasurer: Jack Armstrong. Sergeant-at-arms: Augustine Faudoa. Club Reporter: Margaret Lillig. G. A. A. The Girls ' Athletic Association is composed of five clubs of all year sports and four clubs which meet only in season. The organization is one of the largest in the school, the membership exceeding 250. More enthusiasm has been aroused this term than ever before, and the clubs have put out many victorious teams. The clubs invited the girls of Manual Arts to a Play Day and such a good time was enjoyed that it is hoped to have similar affairs in the future. The officers are : President — Harriett E bert.

(Elului TENNIS The Tennis Club, of which Betty Price i.s pre.sident, has some cham- pion plavers that defeated Manual on Play Day . The club is limited to 60 girls, who meet on the courts Monday and Thursday afternoons. HIKING The Hiking Club, whose president is Cecil Alice Gerson. has about 30 members, and has visited nearly every canyon and mountain in the vicinity of Los Angeles. The girls hike every third Saturday and dur- ing Christmas and Easter vacation, there is an overnight excursion. SHOOTING L A is fortunate in having a Shooting Club of experts. The club has practice on Wednesdays, periods 7. 8. 9. The highest average score for this season is 24.5 out of 25. Helen Shipman is president of this club. SWIMMING The Swimming Club, of which Evelyn Hauerwaas is president, meets each Monday at the new Y. W. C. A. plunge. Every girls must enroll in a class, so the club is progressing rapidly. Two of the club mem- bers had the opportunity of being coached in diving by Annette Keller- man, who gave an exhibition at the Y. W. C. A. DANCING This is the first term of the aesthetic Dancing Club, the president of which is Dorothy Irwin. The membership is limited to 30, and there is a long waiting list, which shows its popularity. SEASONAL SPORTS The Hockey Club, recently organized, shows it has established it- self at L. A. W its commendable victory over Manual Arts on Play Day. Mary Corbaley was captain of the team. The Basketball Club has Margaret Peck for its president, and meets on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays after school. It gives prom- ise of a season of stirring victories. The Baseball and Track Clubs have not begun practice yet this seas- on and will elect officers later. O-A ' ' 5 NAP 5 a e r , GIRLS ' GYM 1 m i1?W W 1 K«M ■;•. . 1 ::.

WINTER, 1924 HYMN TRIUMPHANT OF YOUTH In the dawn of my day am I, With my unknown destiny nigh, With my flight before me to fly, And my limit the limitless sky. In my nostrils the breath of life. In my soul the call to strife. My heart is a-burst with dreams, My brain is aflame with schemes. I am tense as the racer is tense — I am strong with strength half afraid, For in all of Life ' s master events But one trial of strength may be made. Yet, these fears are short-lived in my breast. And whispers of failure soon fade Into Fate ' s stern silence and shade And away again to my guest! Tomorrow ' s visions hold blindingly bright- How hard, how ceaseless, how thrilling the flight. And mine the power, if I would do. To sway a world from wrong to right And back again, if I but knew The way of the conquerors, the mighty few. And I may know, for my day is at dawn — All is the future ! Nothing is gone ! And this marvelous life and all it can hold Begins at last its marvels to unfold, So with the past to inspire, the future to desire ; With Youth a-surge in my veins like fire. The earth, the sun, the stars that shine- Yea, even all the universe is mine ! — Ardell Wray. MILIIiVRY THE MILITARY Undoubtedly, the bigyest thinj? which the Los Angeles High School Reserve Officers Training Corps did this term was to win the L. A. City ten-weeks ' inspection. This inspection is worked out differently from other inspections in that each company and the band is inspected by itself, by Col. Clark, who is in charge of all the R. 0. T. C. work in the high schools of Los Angeles. Each cadet in the company is questioned about something which he should have learned in the daily study and drill. The average grade of all the cadets in the battalion in this general knowledge and their practical drilling ability is taken as the battalion standing, based on 100 per cent, the same as other school grades. The standing of the three schools placing highest in this inspection are as follows: L. A.— 82.1 ' -;,, F. H. S.— 80.8 ;, P. H. S.— 77.3 ;:. It is the opinion of the members of the unit that if we can place first in the City of L. A., which has some of the best units in the country, there is no apparent reason why we cannot place as one of the ten national honor schools, which are chosen in June of each year. Col. iMudgett has started something new this term to encourage competition among the cadets in the battalion, in the form of com- petitive written examinations. To the officer, sergeant, corporal, and two privates who place first in these examinations, a medal is awarded. These tests take place every ten weeks. The first time a cadet wins he receives a bronze medal, the second time a silver, and the third time a gold. The designs of the different pins, however, are the same, consisting of the shield with the American Eagle above it, and the infantry crossed rifles be- hind it. The United States Government has authorized each regiment in the regular army to design for itself a coat-of-arms, to be worn by each man in the regiment, so nothing would do but the R. O. T. C. battalions should have a similar coat-of-arms. The general design of the emblem of each of the battalions in the City of Los Angeles is the same, the onlv difference being the colors of the back ground at the bottom of the pin, whose shape is similar to the Government shield. These colors are the school colors of the school whose battalion the pin repre.sents. Another new thing is the guidon which is carried by a private of each company. This guidon is a bi-pointed pennant of dark blue flan- nel, with infantry crossed rifles and the company letter, made of white cloth sewed on. This term the third period military class has had its course altered, so that it includes tactics, a more advanced .subject than it has here- tofore handled, and excludes map making. A great deal of friendly competition between the four platoons, the band, the .staff, and the girls ' rifle teams has been furnished by .shooting competitions held at various times throughout the term. SANTA FE This year certain members of the R. O. T. C. desired to do some- thing to help out in the Santa Fe Christmas work, which they did in the form of an entertainment. While the tree was being decorated, a detail of selected cadets put on a exhibition drill, accompanied by the music of the militarv band. This idea proved very succes.sful in keeping the children occupied while awaiting their gifts, and will probably be employed in other Christmas benefits to come.

LANDENBEHOtR. WINTER. 19;  € JVmtETICf LANDENBER.GEa WINTER. ;9;4 FOOTBALL L. A. tied the city championship this year, not because they had the best material in the city, but because they had the right kind of never- say-die spirit. L. A. is noted for this something which is called fight or spirit, and which enters into the hearts of all the students. L. A. has tradition upon tradition to which our fellows know they must live up. These things have urged them on to give everything they had, even after they had become physically exhausted. L. A. has coaches who teach the necessity of clean sportsmanship, and never has been or will be noted for anything except clean athletics. Too much credit cannot be given to Coaches White and Bruce Kirk- patrick for the way in which they coached the team this year and the high standard they set before the men. Captain Bill Sanders led his men to victory with the kind of fight and determination he has alwavs shown since he entered. COACH. MR. BRUCE KIRKPATRICK Coach Bruce Kirkpatrick turned out the best line in the city. It was only bv nights of drill and p-aclice and bv imparting his knowledge to the squad that he was able to do this. Mr. Kirkpatrick gets the credit for devel- oping Bill Sanders, one of the best tackles ever turned out at L. A., and. incidentally, football aptain and . 11- City man. COACH. MR. WHITE Head Coach White is to bc con- gratulated this year for not only turn- ing out an undefeated team but also for having three of his men picked for All-City positions. No coach but a real coach, could have developsd the team which L. A. had this year out of the green material furnished. Mr. White has now turned out two champ- ionship teams in succession for L. A , one in footballl and one in baseb ' ill. COACH. MR. HARRY KIRKPATRICK Coach Harry Kirkpatrick again Uirned out a splendid team cf light- -weights. He has the hard job of finding and developing football men of the lower grades for future use on the first team. Many of this year ' s first string players were formerly on his squad. Hai-ry Kirpatrick had as his assis- tants on the lightweight coaching staff this year, Joe Johnscn and Jack Levitt, two former players. COACH. ROY DENNIS The second team was coached this year by Roy Dsnnis. former L. A. football man. Roy was pleased at the showing mada this year by his men and predicts that they will comprise next year ' s first team. COACH, JACK ENGLISH Jack English, flashy halfbatk of 1922. coached the lio pound team, champions cf the city. It speaks pretty well for Jack that he put out a win- ning team on his first attempt at coach in.n. MANAGERS To have a good team you must have a good hardworking manager. We had this article in the form of Arthur Maisch. Art was out every night, handling the crowd of sightseers, sprinkling the field, and deling out headgears. He had an abls assistant in Mel Paget. L. A. certainly appre- ciates the service given her by these two public spirited students. I «MI WINTER. ;:- CITY CHAMPS T)l.l This year our varsity team fought their way to a tie for champion- ship of the City Leauge. Every game was won by our fellows except one which was a tie. No Los Angeles football team has shown more fight or more willing- ness to learn football than has our present 1923 squad. From a green mob of eager aspirants a well organized aggressive team was develop- ed. Too much praise cannot be given the men on the squad for their willingness to follow instructions and to give everything they had in them for the school. At the outset of the season, things did not look so bright for L. A. But through the persistent efforts of our two coaches, Messrs. White and Kirkpatrick, our team was whipped into shape. It was due to them that our team came through without a defeat. All of our games were hard and cleanly fought and there never was anything but the best kind of sportsmanship shown. The fellows on the squad are: Captain Wm. Sanders, Wm. Pabst, R Janicki T. Austin, T. Middleton, P. Kerr. J. Beck. B. Meyers, A. Kwa.sigroch. N. Newmark, V. Weaver, L. Krause. W. .Johnson. G. Ed- wards H Blackmer, B. Jones, T. Smith, J. May, D. Wright, E. La Sage. H. Luitweiler, S. Schlank, J. O ' Brien. G. Herman. Wm. DeFord. Teppan V. Gottschalk, Fishfrund, J. Rasor and S. Smith. I WILLIAM PABST No. 8, Right Half L. A. needed Bill so he came. L. A. developed him so he starred. BUI sure came through with the right kind of goods. He came quietly from another school where he had played and show- ed us that he needed no horns or med- als to boost his playing. Already he has shown the true L. A. spirit and is one of the best liked fellows on the campus. Bill was a wonder at bringing passes from the clear sky and scored many times for L. A. in this manner. Bill was considered the fastest man in a football suit in the city league. This facility and many others made it impossible to keep him off the All-City Eleven. WILLIAM SANDERS Captain. No. 5, Left Tackle, As Captain of the Championship team of 192.3, Bill certainly deserves a great deal of praise. His ability to follow the oval, make holes large enough for moving vans, get down on punts, his hard tackling and the way he captained his team to victory makes him a cinch for the All-City eleven. Bill leaves us in June and L. A. will greatly feel the loss. RUDY JANICKI No. 10. Quarter This lad was picked for All-City Quarter, because he was the best field general in the city, besides l)einK able to carry the ball better than tlie best. Rudy could buck the line, run the ends and through his accurate passing L. A. scored most of her touchdowns. L. A. will have a hard time finding a man able to fill the position of Quarterback as Rudy Jan- icki has. TED AUSTIN No 9. Half Perhaps Ted was light. Init what he lacked in weight he made up in speed. Ted was a regular whirlwind being at no one place at any time. Besides be- ing able to dance around the ends for long gains, he went through the line like a bullet. This is Ted ' s last year at L. A. and it will be a long time before we find another fellow as willing to give ' ' his all as Ted has for his school. THOMAS MIDDLETON No. 7 Half Tom, although not as large as many, hits harder than any. He is a fast, brainy, hard hitting player, always fighting tor an extra inch. Although hurt during the middle of the season, Tom came l)ack in the Poly game and It took three or four fellows to stop him whenever h? carried the ball. Tommy will gladly be missed next year by our rivals, but sadly by every- one wiio admires this gritty fellow. PHIL KERR No. 13, Fullback Thirteen unlucky for those oppos- ing Phil. He was the strong man of the back field. This young fellow knew how to carry the ball for gains. Phil was always to bs found at the bottom of the pile with his arms around the legs of the runner. In the Manual Arts game he was injured, breaking a bone in his foot and has been on c utches since then. We are glad that Phil will be se?n in football togs next year. JULIUS BECK No. 23. Left End One of the hardest and pluckiest workers on the team, . ltheugh this was his first year on the team, he played like a veteran. He was down on every punt, he snagRed passes, he boxed the plays in and hy using his head outguessed and outplayed the best of his rivals. .Julius has played his last game of football for L. A., and we are sorry that be is leaving us. MYERS BUTTE No 21. LEFT GUARD This fellow hit his stride this year and certainly came through with the goods. There was little ground gained through the center of our line and he was one of the big reasons why. Myers is a true L. A. fighter in as much as he is always doing his best and putting everything he has into the game. 1 NORMAN NEWMARK No. 19. Center He would not be a sub , so he fought and worked his way up to a regular berth on the team as Center. Norm was quick, used his head, and had the habit of breaking through and nailing the runner in his tracks. He was always at the point of attack and was one of the most dangerous men on the team. Norm will be heard of in college one of these days. ALBERT KWASIGROCH No. 12, Tackle or Guard Al has proven to be one of the best linemen ever turned out at L. A. He is right at home at either guard or tackle, and plays both exceptionally well. Al is a born scrapper and he hits like a ton of bricks. If you don ' t think he hits hard, ask a certain half-back at Manual Arts what he thinks of him. HARDEN BLACKMER No. 16. Right Tackle Hardy like a stonewall is hard to. get through. Thers are several young men who have sore heads be- cause they tried. Hardy is a big man and he used his length and width to a good advantage. Between Blackmer and our Captain, we had a pair of tackles that could not be beaten in the South. LEROY KRAUSE No. 18, Right Guard This fellow had all the old L. A. fight and spirit in the world. Very few gains, if any, were made through his territory. They just could not go tlirnugh and he was everywhere helping out and encouraging the fel- lows to give their utmost. Leroy is a true example of an L. A. athlete and the school is proud ot him. and will reiiiemlier tliis lighting guard for many days. JULIUS MAY No. 3, Half Julius has been on the team for two years now. Mr. White put him in the Franklin game last year and he was the only ground gainer. He is a wonder at snagging passes and can run the ends nicely. May was on3 of the five good halves on the team. BERT JONES No. 6, Right End Bert starred at end this year, al- though he was up against men twice his size and weight. He outplayed them through his fight and grit. He was a bearcat at snagging passes and was down on his man on all punts. It will be hard to find an end next season to take Bert ' s place as he is graduating in .Tune. THEOPELUS SMITH No. 15, Fullback Midnight was sure tliere when it came to line plunging and tackling. He took Kerr ' s place in the Manual and Poly games and played like an All America. Smith has another year cf football at L. A. and we ex- pect great things of this tall gentle- man. JAMES RASOR No. 2, Center Jimmie was the hardest -scrapper on the team. Not much more than a midget, he was the equal of the biggest man on anv team in the city. He is an example that proves that brains and fight are as necessary if not more so than brawn. .limmie will be back next year. LANDENBER.6ER. WINTER, 19X4 THE L. A.-FRANKLIN GAME The following epic was found by scientists in the year 2923 amid the ruins of a once magnificent building, probably the ruins of a high school. It is a good example of the brutality and utter lack of refine- ment of that period. ALABIBO Lo ! Of the Romans on field unleased Of the fans of that team, have we learned the glory. How deeds of daring were done for traditions. Oft have the foot-hillers felt of their might, Mechanics and Artisans, ancient abetters, They rendered all helpless, requital they understood Stung by the stigma of stifling defeat. They challenged the Champions, forwared of Fate. To Franklin alone had they bowed in defeat; All other teams that dwelt nigh them did hearken their work And tribute did pay them. Honor the Romans. Forth to the field come the fated Frank horde Then neath the welkin the world resounded. And heroes neath helmet, the hard oppressed. Failed not in valor. Death they feared not. In a blaze of glory the red wared reeled. Under a stooping sky of seething, sulfurous fire Fiercely kindled the fight. The field was strewn with men. In a clash of triumph the goal they reached. With fear and frenzy were filled the Franklin fans. Then Woden, giver of victory, was pleased And the renown of battle was given to the Romans. Home then rode the Roman boats, rejoicing. From time to time their autos set to speed amain. And ran a race, where the road seemed fair. No longer stung by stifling defeat Once more is the laughter of heroes heard in hall. A good team they. Honor the Romans. LANOENBERGER. WINTER, 1924 NOTES 1. The football team was known as the Romans, and had no con- nection whatever with the eternal city. 2. Alabibo — Roman war cry. 1. Foot-hillers— The name applies to another team dwelling in the foot hills nearby. t , u • 2. Mechanics— another team, since discovered to mean Polytechnic High School. .3. Artisans— also a rival team— probably Manual Arts. 4 In this sense, requital means to repay evil for evil. .5 ' . Notice the beautiful alliteration as typical of the writings of the period. 1 Frank horde-referring to the football team of Franklin High School, evidently champions of previous season. 1. Probably refers to the sunset. 9 Not necessarilv corpse. 3 ' Thev ' - refers ' to the Romans. The lack of clearness in meaning is ' ■ due to the lack of culture and refinement of the period. L. A. VS. FRANKLIN October 12, 1923 The day that opened the football season found an L. A. team of very doubtful strength. We didn ' t know whether we had a team or not. This was the feeling that saw the Pioneers trot onto the field October twelfth. The first and second quarters found L. A. outplaying Franklin, but due to inexperi- ence, the ball had been lost several times, when it looked as if the team would surely score. The second half was different. With Janicki at quarter, the team made a deter- mined march toward the opposing goal. By long passes, by the excellent bucking of Kerr and by the long end runs of Middleton and Pabst, L. A. put the ball over for a touch-down in the first ten minutes of the second quarter. In the last quarter, Franklin began hurling passes right and left, in effort to score. It was one of these that Pabst intercepted and ran sixty yards through a broken field to a touch-down. He failed to convert both times. There was no more scoring. Too much cannot be said for the way Bill Sanders led his men besides playing a wonderful game at left tackle. Score: L. A. 13, Franklin 0. L. A. VS. HOLLYWOOD October 26, 1923 AVith wise sport writers still laughing at the idea of an undefeated L. A. team. Bill Sanders led his men against Hollywood. When the smoke of battle cleared awey, it was found that L. A. was still in the one thousand percent column. The Blue and White team was all primed tcr a hard game with Hollywood, so no one but Hollywood was surprised when the first half ended with both teams scoreless. In spite of a weight advantage of at least fifteen pounds to the man, Hollywood made only one first down in those two quarters. In the third quarter, Hollywood kicked off and beginning at the thirty yard line, L. A. began to march down towards Holly- wood ' s goal line. The Romans then made four first downs by passes, which placed them on Hollywood ' s five yard line with four downs in which to make a touch-down. Our notes tell us that Austin made two yards over right tackle. Kerr made two more over left guard. Then we forget to take notes, for a half failed to gain around end. This is where L. A. outfoxed Hollywood. With one yard to go and only one down left, a quarter-back sneak was called and Janicki carried the ball around end to a touch- down. Conversion failed. In the last quarter, L. A. played a punting game, while the FoothlUers tried passes over and over again, most of which were downed or stopped before they got any place. Score: L. A. 6. Hollywood 0. L. A. VS. JEFFERSON November 9, 1923 With only t ' uur firsi downs, no points. ;inil no vic-tories scored against tlicni. L. A. ' s fighting team met and defeated Jefferscn in the first game played on our home field. As usual L. A. did not score in the first half, so the half ended, u-o. It had also become a time-honored precedent of ours to score in the third nuarter; so Sanders, Janicki, Pabst, Austin, Middleton, Kerr, Newmark, Jones and Beck helped the rest of the team take the ball over for a touchdcwn. In the same quarter a Democrat pass got lost, and policeman Pabst took care of it, until he was stopped on Jefferson ' s ten yard line after a fifty yard run. Janicki then carried the ball over for the second score cf the afternoon. Hill Pabst coverted goal after both touchdowns. Score: L. A. 14, Jefferson 0. -JME5ii?

MANUAL ARTS November 16, 1923 Every football season has one game which is remembered for a long time after other games are forgotten. Last year it was the Lcng Beach game and this year it was the Manual game. L. A. was doped to lose. Manual was figured to be at least three touch-downs better than Coach White ' s aggregation, because of previous scores they had run up. This was just the kind of atmosphere we wanted to have drift around Manual Arts. In the first quarter, the first five minutes were used in punting. Then Janicki re- ceived a punt en our own thrity yard line and returned the ball ten yards. L. A. opened up with passes and it only took five plays to march down to Manual ' s tw-elve yard line. Here, Janicki threw a perfect pass to Pabst who wormed his way over the line for the first score. L. A. failed to convert and there was no more scoring in the first quarter. In the second quarter. Manual woke up and scored shortly after the quarter had started. They converted, putting them ahead of L. A., 7 to 6. Manual again scored in this quarter near the end but failed to convert. The half ended with the score 13 to 7. with L. A. on the short end. In the third quarter, Janicki began to open up again. A long pass to Austin was declared completed after he had been fouled on Manual Arts five yard line. The ball was carried over for a touchdown on the next play. Then while Manual prayed that Pabst would miss the conversion, and L. A. pleaded with him to do it, the ball was snapped. Janicki placed it carefully in front of Bill, he kicked it and the ball rose lazily. It went straight and still twirling slowly, it rose, and went over the bar and the score was tied. In the fourth quarter, each team used every bit of science and football brains It had. The air was teeming with pigskin. During one of these plays, Harden Blackmere, L. A. tackle, intercepted an Artesian pass in the middle of the field. L. A. lost the ball a moment later and then Julius Beck pulled down another Manual pass and squirmed along for five yards to the forty five yard line. Then passes, trickplays, straight foot- ball and a few other things, put the ball on Manual ' s ten yard line. An end run and a pass put the ball one the one yard line and then came the final break which tied the game. A Roman back fumbled and in the dense mass, a Manual fellow recovered. The ball was punted out of danger and the game ended with Manual Arts still scared but feeling pretty lucky. Score: L. A. 13, Manual 13. L. A. VS. POLYTECHNIC November 23, 1923 The L. A.-Poly. game is always the hig game of the s?ason for these two schools. No matter what the standings ot the teams in the percentage columns, on this day the game is anybody ' s until the time the last whistle has hlcwn. L. A. scored first in the second quarter. The touchdown was made by a pass from Janicki to Pabst. This was accomplished after the hall had been put within scoring distance by several passes and long runs. Pabst converted. A few minutes later, L. A. again took the ball down to Poly ' s three yard line and here Pabst dropped back and place kicked the ball over the bar for three more points. Then Poly duplicated the Pioneer touchdown. The Washington Streeters went fifty yards without losing the ball once, and at the five yard line a Poly back plunged across the goal line. The second quarter went by without a score. In the third quarter, a pass, .Tanlcki to Middleton. scored again. The ball was on the Poly thirty yard line. Tommy caught the hall on the three yard line and fought his way over for a touchdown. L. A. again converted. In the last quarter, Middleton again scored for L. A. The ball was on Poly s twenty yard line and from there Middleton took the ball on a crisscross. H? side-stepped, dodged and fought his way across for the other score. L. A. converted. Middleton s good work was only made possible by the wonderful cooperation of the line, espscially Bill Sanders, LeRov Krause, Al Kwasigrocb and Hiitte Meyers. The game ended with the ball in the middle of the field. It was a complete victory for the Roman team and a fine way to end the season. Score: L. A. 24, Poly 7. LANt)ENBER.GER. WINTER, 1924 SECOND TEAM L. A. turned out a good second team this year which gave the first team a good many hard scraps. The fellows on this team learned the fundamentals of football and next year many of this team will be seen on the first squad. This team is organized especially to drill the fellows and to give practice to the first squad. Too much credit cannot be given to the fellows for their willingness to help make a winning team. Roy Dennis, last year end, handled the squad. He had as its man- ager Henry Gerstenkorn who arranged the second team schedule. The last game was an exibition Thanksgiving: Day game at Sawtelle which ended in a zero tie. The fellows on the team are : L. Coyle, D. Lyman. C. Revell. Max Win- ters, H. Gerstenkorn, B. Phal, G. Stoneman. T. Seward, B. Hollings- worth, T. Elias, C. Russel, C. Newton, D. Williams, Pierce L. O ' Sullivan, E. Bailee, R. Jolsom, W. King, C. Kerlee, A. P ' igueroa, 15. Sorcy, T. Hal- sey, M. Maple, and M. Reede. LANDENKHOER. WINTER. 1924 LIGHTWEIGHTS The lig-htweights deserve much credit tor their remarkable showing. At the beginning of the season Coach Harry Kirkpatrick found him- self without one letterman to build his team around. Every fellow on the squad, however, was eager to learn and did learn much football before the season was over. Captain Charles Philo piloted his team through a successful season which they closed by beating Poly 13-0. Dollins. L. Almada, S. Amestoy and R. Robertson, starred for L. A. throughout the entire season. Mr. Kirkpatrick was ably assisted by Joe John.son, line coach and by Jack Levitt, who handled the second team lightweights. The fellows on the squad were: C. Philo, G. Dollins,L. Almada, L. Amestoy, R. Alexander, D. Tupper, J. Lyons, G. Robertson, M. Cohen, D. Gould, T. Stock, M. Hewitt. G. Shallenberger, T. Keene. Tate. N. Gushing, M. O ' Haver, K. Young, W. Mortensen, N. Simons, O. Williams, Thomsen, Mullard, J. London, Foote, Clougherty, Horton, Sowers, and H. Dietrich. LANDENBER.GLR. WINTER. 1924 . 110 POUND TEAM This side-pocket edition of a football team won thf city champion- ship by defeating Manual Arts. Give them time and you will see them playing on the first team. These fellows knew little about football before Jack English took hold and taught them the fine points of the game. But before the sea- son was over they were old timers at the gentle pastime of chasing the oval. Cunningham was a capable captain and half, and was more than assisted by Willie Brown, Tubo Schlank and Ermo Provera. PAUL ELMQUIST, Yell Leader YELL LEADERS A ain L. A. starts something new. The Yell-leaders sprang some- thing new in high school ranks this year by having a special rooting sec- tion of over one thousand boys and by putting on stunts during the !?epper Elmquist.

If you can do hard work when all about you Are shirking- theirs and laying- it on you ; If you still try when all the others doubt you And laugh at all your efforts too ; If simple parts you take, nor be found v.-anting, Are natural-colored — without resort to dyes — And if made up, don ' t weep at taunting And make mascaro drip from off your eyes. II. If you can vamp, improving on Miss Swanson ; If you can flirt, yet treat ' em all the same ; If you can play the thrillers a la Johnson And take the cash and win at every game; If you can bear to see the play you care for Torn all to shreds to satisfy some him, And watch the part you bobbed your hair for Cut from the script at some director ' s whim. III. If you can make a pile of all you clothing And pawn it for some simple cafe meals; If you can do a snow scene without loathing And float on ice through twenty-seven reels. If you dare risk your hard-earned reputation On the frail clasping of a beaded shoulder strap, And yet get by the censors of a nation, Nor fall into some bitter rival ' s trap. IV. If you can act with Doug and not get snobby, Match Mary ' s curls and still not thrill with pride ; Be thrice divorced — yet not make that your hobby, Let Pola ' s methods be your guide. If you can fill the press with song and sonnet, Scandals, gossip, and smash-ups in your car; Yours is the screen, and all that ' s on it. And what is more — you ' ll be a motion picture star ! —Helen Small. School and Class Pins Field Medals, etc..

WINTER. 1924 MEMORY FOLK When the wind is singing softly — And the moon is hanging low, The memory folk come playing From the land of Long Ago, They skip upon the cobwebs all gleaming soft with jewels, And dance into the moonlight ' s shimmering fairy pools! They shake the pale petals From the roses of the past, They catch the misty moonbeams And weave them in the grass. They start the sweet birds singing, high in the whispei ' ing trees. Till the whole night is enchanted with a thousand mem- ories ! They skip along a dream path. And scare away the years. They frolic in the laughter — But scamper o ' er the tears. And dancing down a dawn road that stretches out beyond, They seem to smile wistfully — then my memory folk are gone ! — Virginia Robinson. Oi CAAJU d L ■ ft 4 I
