A. through many years. Few, if any, educational institutions have been blest as L. A. has been with the guidance of a great spirit like that of Mr. Housh. Thirty years have pass-ed since he first entered the life of our school, thirty years of self-devoting service to embody his ideals in the most lasting of marble, the throbbing, living souls of human beings. Thousands of men and women throughout the country cherish the memory of the dayis which they spent under his tender guidance. His has indeed been an inspiring life, and one at which we cannot too much marvel. All his accomplishments have been possible because, although a cheery companion humanly ready to understand all, he has kept the ideals of per- fection and service before him. Whether his early training influenced his character, or whether his character influenced his early training might well be asked, for the combin- ation of the two has proved ideal. On a large farm in Indiana, Mr. Housh was born and reared during his early childhood, the eldest of ten children. When but a boy of ten he saw his father march off to the Civil War, leaving the lad, his mother, and a hired man to work the large farm-, and care for the lively brood of brothers and sisters. The boy, taking his responsibility to heart, became the staff of the family. To the many brothers and sistens it was always, Brother will make it right, and brother always did. He was the ideal of the children, al- ways thoughtful of the rest, never ostentatious. Even as a child he loved best to read and study, musing alone over his problems, yet he was the allround boy with a healthy body as well as mind, a leader in athletics as well as in school. Baseball thrilled him even als it does the boy of today, and he was the ideal of every aspiring youngster in all kinds of sports. But best of all he loved to ice skate, sometimes engag- ing in the races and feats of his companions, and often gliding over the .smooth ice by himself, thinking and hlling his soul. But the most common sport was that of working hard on the farm. He was ready to join in the fun, but never played pranks or willingly harmed anything. Far from being considered goody-goody, he was respected by all his school-mates. This is the marvel of all and the secret of his present gentleness. As a child, and throughout his life, there was never any friction, any quarreling or angry words. His parents brought up the family to believe in the right of others and to live peaceably with their neighbors. Afterwards, Mr. Housh entered Fort Wayne High School, where he excelled in all activities, yet was ever reserved and appreciative of others. His courses chiefly centered around the Sciences, which were his chief delight. As a fitting honor he was valedictorian of his class. After his father died, the resources of the family were low, and so with- out complaint Mr. Housh gave up college and became a teacher in a little grammar school near his home, yet did not give up his hope of future education, Night after night be spent poring over his books, taking his college courses by correspondence, a pupil of Ann Arb0r College- At twenty-one, since now both hiis parents were dead, and he felt that the spirit of the Middle West could not hold him, he came to California. He was a teacher and principal at San Juan, Salinas, and Pasadena High Schools. At Salinas, he married an artist, refined and lovely, the help- mate of his future efforts. Then he came to L. A., as a teacher of physics. Be- cause of his great ability, he rose to the head of the department, then to the office of principal. 18 Through these years Mr. Housh had kept, besides his love of learning, his old love of sports. Funniest among his memories of camping life is one wherein, although the food was exceedingly salty, because of a trick of the cook, the campers were forced to smile and remark on the delicious taste of it because this was the cooperating spirit enforced on the trip. Mr. Housh's initiative and leadership have more than once made him a hero, a saver of fair maids. Early one morning in Monterey, he accompanied several young ladies on a boating trip on the ocean. Later a heavy fog came up, enveloping them, and impairing their chances for escape. In the gale the boat was washed again and again upon the shore but washed back before they could escape. All were frantic, but at the command of Mr. Housh, given at a well chosen moment, they jumped to safety. As a father, Mr. Housh was all that one would expect him to be. During the boyhood of his son, Harvey, the same spirit of unity and peace pre- vailed as in Mr. Housh's own boyhood. During these earlier years, Mr. Housh was even more reserved than we know him now. He spent all his spare time in studying and working over the problems of our school, yet he was ever the sympathetic companion of his boy. Harvey early learned from the example of his father the treasure found in books and the rewards of study. He graduated from L. A. in 1907. In 1908 Mr. Housh, with his wife and son went to Europe where they visited the art galleries beloved by Mrs. Housh. They went with a large party, but Mr. Housh remained after the others on business for the Board of Education. It was in England that he received the inspiration for our own beautiful building. Although the Board of Education and his friends thought it imprudent, Mr. Housh, confident of success, carried out the building of our school in the center of a vast open space with scarcely a house in sight. He worked es- pecially hard for our tower. It was said that the only time he ever became angry was when the School Board refused to give L. A. its crowning glory. Af- terwards, by his sincere interest this crowning glory, too, was granted. When the doors opened, the teachers held their breath, wondering if there could possibly be enough pupils to make the school a success. The spirit of the former L. A.ites was loyal, for from far away they came to finish that term at L. A. Thus they saved the day, for after they had graduated the country around was sufficiently built up. To Mr. Housh, every graduating class has something wonderful in it. He sees the best in the worst, and understands the worst in the best. Under his guidance, L. A. has grown to be a school of noble traditions and the highest ide-als of learning. One cannot become one of the large body of students without feeling the spirit of peace, unity, and idealism that hovers over the school, and is a very part of its being. Our principal has borne without flinching, sorrows of the greatest kind, the death of his wife, the calling of his only son to service in France. Not only has Mr. Housh been an inspired counselor of the youth of L. A. but to the community as well. He is a respected and beneficial member of the Men's City Club, Men's University Club, The Chamber of Commerce, and the President of the Principal's Association. It has been said of him that a his- tory of his life is a record of the development of the education of Los Angeles. The day the portrait of Mr. Housh was unveiled at L. A., Mrs. Susan B. Dorsey, the superintendent of schools, in speaking of the life of Mr'. Housh, closed her address by saying that our building symbolizes the soul of a man working throughout a life time to create and give definite form to the loftiest ideals. The motto above the stage expresses his life, Obedience to law, respect for others, mastery of self, joy in service, these constitute life. Mr. Housh is the counselor of the young, the friend and helper of the community, and the beloved inspiration of all. When he goes, he will leave behind an influence that, having become a tradition, will remain forever. His monument will be the thousands of lives trained in L. A. that will make the world at least a few steps higher in the pursuit of the ideal. 19 THE PIPER OF THE DAWN of dawn, Through the woodland it is falling, where it rouses up the faun And awakens sleeping birdings with its clear, imperious call- Hark! the air is hushed and waiting for the melody again. On the breezes Boating downward comes the lilting, tender strain. Pan is piping, nimble fingers, at the gates of rosy dawn, Through the meadows sweet it lingers, over orchard, wall and lawn, Liquid notes of strength and healing, chimed with rippling laughter, fall- Hark! the rushes cease their whisper, for the breezes came again, Burdened with the soul of music, that same lilting sweet refrain. Heart of love, from out the fastness of the deeps of silent dawn Breaking o'er the radiant stillness-Hush! the magic tones are gone, Lost within the carven archways of the woodland's dusky wall, Where the trees shall keep its secret till the dawn comes once again, Bringing back the piper's fluting and its mystic, magic strain. Grace Randall Upper grade prize poem 20 Tributes to r. Housh Thirty years! A generation of human existence! In point of time, the measure of years of the principalship of the Los An- geles H.igh School held by Mr. Housh. A record of continuous service so rarely attained, that by reason of the fact alone, it is deserving of recognition. Far more important than that, how- ever, the quality of that service, in untiring and patient effort, rare educational leadership and unusual executive ability, merits an expression of appreciation and special commemoration. It is impossible to estimate the importance and far-reaching effect of the work of such a man as Mr. Housh. Accustomed as we are to laud and extol the great ngures in the business world, whom we denominate captains of in- dustry, we often fail to realize that the men at the head of our great public schools perform tasks calling for much higher and rarer qualities. They also manifest a more unselfish nature, for the rewards materially are so much smaller. Mr. Housh, and men like him, who build themselves into the systems of a great school like the Los Angeles High School, are true captains of progress. The writer of this sketch has had ample opportunity to observe the work performed by Mr. Housh. He was in the school when Mr. Housh first came as a teacher of physics. It was at the beginning of his senior year that Mr. Housh assumed the principalship. Few years have passed during the entire period of Mr. Housh's connection that the writer has not visited the school and had an opportunity to keep in touch with its development. From the foundation of the high school, to a little after the beginning of Mr. Housh's principalship, the Los Angeles High School occupied a position in the community a little below that of a small college, Many of the pupils came from Whittier, Downey, Norwalk, Compton, and other nearby towns. In athletics, the school engaged on equal terms in contests with Pomona and Occidental Colleges, and even the University of Southern California. When Mr. Housh took the reins of government, the problems were many and perplexing. A period of growth and expansion was well started. New ideas were clamoring for recognition. The vocational idea made its appear- ance in a. demand for a commercial course department. Students' respon- sibility and participation in school government was preceded by a period of unrest and rebellion which came to a head just before Mr. Housh began his administration. Colleges and universities were investigating and classifying high schools. Altogether the situation presented was one that could only be handled by a strong man who understood the nature of youth, could take a broad view, and was animated by the highest motives. The solution of the problem of order in the school was so unique and char- acteristic of the man that it is worth recounting. A few months after he took control, one morning Mr. Housh summoned about fifteen of the boys to his of- fice. He opened the meeting with a little speech in which he said' that he had called together this group because they represented leadership in various lines of activity: that there were many problems confronting the school that re- r,u.ieu co-operation between the faculty and the students: that the high school was representative in a sense of the city, and had been identified with its history, and that it held a high place in the community. All, of course, were very much flattered to have been chosen to participate in this conference. As 22 soon as we were getting to be fairly well satisfied with ourselves, he suddenly turned on us and remarked that he had been very much disappointed to note that most of the fellows in this group had not been contributing to the good name of the school, but in fact had been guilty of acts that were positively harmful. This, he said, he regretted, but still had confidence that we would be willing to turn our energies to bringing about better conditions, that he had not invited some of the worst boys to the conference, because he felt, if this group would show the proper spirit and be willing to aid in 'putting the school back to its former place and honor, that the others would follow. In addition, he urged us to join in an effort to increase the school's prestige in athletics, debating, and other outside activities. He promised to give more liberty to the debating club, and do all he could to encourage the athletic teams. Fifteen boys left his oflice determined to aid in his program, and were ready to fight for Mr. Housh at any time. I do not doubt that all feel the same way to this day. The various problems were carefully considered, experiments were tried, the good ideas adopted and the school went steadily forward along all lines. The Los Angeles High School remained true, however, to the idea of a broad cultural school. Carrying the name of the city, in conjunction with the fact that many of those who were its graduates later became prominently identified with the various lines of civil, social, and political activity in the city, the school had a background that no other high school could claim. The idea of putting forth the best.effort, both on the part of the faculty and the student body, acquired the force of a tradition. This spirit was largely the result of Mr. Housh's leadership. The wonderful opportunity for the develop- ment and expansion of this tradition, which was offered by a thirty year continuity of administration, is rare indeed. As the years rolled by, growth and progress were continuous. With in- creasing numbers came the increasing problems of administration. Organiz- ing ability of a high order brought forth the system of departments with respon- sible heads. The student body became more and more important, and its har- monious work with the faculty is a monument to the tact and diplomacy of Mr. Housh. He has always had a splendid faculty to work with him and aid him. The culmination and fruition of the past came in the establishment of the school in its new location, in its wonderful buildings and with splendid equip- ment. The alumni of the Los Angeles High School feel personal interest and pride in the growth of the school. We recognize in how great a measure Mr. Housh has contributed of himself to that achievement. We love him, and honor him, and rejoice that he has been permitted to serve through this long preiod of years, and to live to see his work fulfil the measure of accomplishment. Mr. Housh's prestige with the faculty and the students grew as they came to understand more and more of the fine qualities of the man, the tireless, painstaking study that he brought to the solution of every problem, his won- derful patience and willingness to wait for results. He possessed the quality of sympathetic understanding. When it became necessary to be firm, he was not afraid to exercise that virtue. Go back today, and you find the same modest, kindly, hard-working man bringing to his task the same high ideals and enthusiasm that he had in the be- ginning. Ask him about the various teams and he will give you a pretty good analysis of the players. Ask him about educational problems, and his opinions are worth listening to. No greater testimonial of true worth can be had than is to be found in the warmth of feeling for Mr. Housh entertained by the graduates of Los Angeles High School. We love him, and honor him, and offer him the warmest and heatiest congratulations upon the completion of his thirty years of service. Marshall Stimson President L. A. H. S. Alumni Assn. 23 ACHIEVEMENT He gave himself to life as swimmers fling Their headlong strength upon the shifting sea, Tasting like wine the perilous ecstacy Of wind-piled wax es, of buffetings that bring The quickened heart beats, and the sweet, sharp, sting Of salty spray on the lipsg the victory Wrung from embattled waves, exultantly He rides beyond the white surf's thundering. Leaving upon the shore the rabble rout Of ignorance that fears the untried vast, Confident, calm, he came to rest at last He sought the shining sunway of the truthg Upon the pulsing, sunlit heart of youth. Breasting the breakers of distrust and doubt, Snow Longley Our high school has been indeed fortunate to have had as principal for over a quarter of a century a man of such courtesy and innate refinement as Mr. Housh. Happy is our school tio have had a principal who could influence the many young lives with which he came in contact, not merely by precept, but still better by example. In all these years his keen appreciation of the best in life as well as in literature, in art, and in music has helped to establish the ideals and stan- dards oof a great school. Bertha Oliver Understanding and appreciating the American doctrine of self-government, Mr. Housh hals made the Los Angeles High School a truly self-governing insti- tutiong and in so doing, he has given the young people the training so impor- tant in life. Always a leader in education, he has brought the school to a position fore- most among the high schools of the country. Young people going to Mr. Housh are always sure of a hearing and of an understanding sympathy. Their problems receive the greatest consideration and with his friendly advice cease to loom so large in their lives. Instead of gearing to go to his oflice, they welcome the opportunity of a conference with im. Calling out the best that is in them, he has always secured their loyalty and has proved a tremendous influence for good. His sincerity and sympathy have endeared him to all. Frances V. Harrow One does not fully appreciate the depth of nobility and the fineness of char- acter of our Mr. Housh until it is his privilege to be one of the family circle in his home. it is here that the unfailing thoughtfulness for all about him and the con- stant sacrilice of self for the comforts and wishes of those he is with stand out as a beautiful clear cut cameo. in that realm, the little principality he rightfully calls his own and where he is monarch of all he surveys, the spirit of this ruling potentate is one of sharing equally with others whatever is his bo enjoy-equal rights in every Way. There the younger generation, as well as the older, regard him with the truest kind of respect and affection and find him a delightful companion and friend. Lowell's words, Not what we give, but what we share,- For the gift without the giver is bare, are the keynote of his character as portrayed in his home: and the same courtesy and thoughtful care is bestowed, with fine gentlemanly respect, upon all who enter his family circle: so that the guest feels and says, Here is a life that has been unfalteringly lived for others! Elizabeth Day Palmer 24 To put into words an adequate tribute to the man who for thirty years has guided the educational activities of the Los Angeles High School is not possible. Rather is that tribute found in the quickened heart beats of the great procession of graduates when stirred by memories of their school days under the leadership of Mr. Housh. Scholar and educator, kindly neighbor, loyal friend, faithful home-maker, discerning citizen, gentlemen, Mr. Housh has in himself been the best example of that which he has striven to make operative in the lives of the students. Amid the belittling and distracting influences of the petty details of the day's work, Mr. Housh has retained the power to idealrize. His ideals are enshrined in the stately building of the Los Angeles High School, embodied in its worthy traditions, and best of all, are being realized in the lives of thousands of the capable and courageous men and the high-minded women of this city. Mrs. Susan B. Dorsey Mr. Housh has grown bigger every one of his thirty years as principal of Los Angeles High School, bigger and more understanding. He is the per- sonal friend of every teacher, student, and employee hexe. Our principal is a man with vision, conservative, yet progressive, and be- cause of these qualities he has led the high schools of this city until they rank among the best in the world. The respectful, sympathetic, attention which he has always given to every suggestion made by faculty member or pupil has helped him to do this. Because of this fostering df initiative L. A. has been the training ground of executives. lt was here that the principals of Manual, Poly, Fairfax, Warren I-Lardfilng, and Wilmington received their training and Mrs. Dorsey, hers for the superintendency. - Katharine Carr Now, Miss Stewart, what is your real reason? Mr. Housh instinctively challenged a conventional presentation of your problem. So you re-stated your case, giving basic considerations, and received sympathy and under- standing. Mr. Housh's interest extended to all subjects. As a teacher, his field lay in the Natural Sciences. I have always thought Mr. Housh spec- ially adapted to the Social Sciences. Mr. Housh has served successfully and happily as Chairman of the City Art Curriculum Committee, Mr. Housh has always declined to be drawn into controversial debates, stirred up by champions of special causes. He is a follower of the Golden Mean and maintains a judicial attitude. Under his charge, Los Angeles High School has welcomed the New-but not with a mad rush, overturning the Old with its proven utility. Carefully evaluated and adjusted, the New has been incorporated with the Old, of which it has seemed to be but a natural outgrowth. Anna Stewart To my beloved and honlored principal, man of vision and culture, dev- oted to humanity and justice. Even to the old red school house, when I first knew him, he gave beauty with its vine-clad tower and walls and setting of green lawn. Here and later he also showed a love of and a faith in young people. also a keen sense of justice so that the members of his faculty felt his spirit and tried to express it themselves in their contact with the students. Always looking ahead to improvements that would make a better school, but never seeking fads, he has shown rare balance and vision-loving all the fine and beautiful things of life, he has led the school, its student body and faculty, a truly cultured man, but ever broadly human and friendly. Long may he preside over the destinies of the oldest and best high school in our city. Bertha Hall 25 TRADITIQNS OF L. A. I-HGH In the forest of activities and reminiscences that go to make up the life of our great high school there is one tree that lifts its head high above all the others,-that which bears the traditions of L. A. A monarch it sccmfr, so sturdy is its trunk and so massive and heavily laden its branches. Proud is it, too, for having achieved such immensity, growing ever mightier with passing years. There is an air of mystery about this great tree, for it has seen many things and guards a wealth of secrets. Time has taken no toll from this mon- arch. Its leaves are as green and fresh as when it was a mere shoot, new- sprung from the earthg its bark, as smooth and unblemished. Such beauty and strength is not the product of mere chance. Such a Wealth of traditions has not grown up unnourished, unwatched, and uncared for. Only as the result of the most zealous care have they come. Ever guard- ing them with jealous tenderness and a never dying devotion, has been the un- wavering spirit of Mr. Housh. It is this generous spirit, with its broad out- look, which has given the tree its majestic breadth and stature and which has imbued all these traditions with life and meaning. Since the time that he first became leader of this great institution, like the gardener who watches and coaxes the growth of the tree from a little shoot into a stately monarch, Mr. Housh has put heart and soul into the strengthening of L. A.'s traditions. Nor has he labored alone. From the beginning unto the present, he has been assisted by a splendid band of teachers. Noticeable for its freshness, yet apparently great strength, is the branch of Self-Government. It is fresh because L. A. has not always had Student Body Government. Indeed, under the old system, before Mr. Housh became principal, the students had no vo-ice whatever in the running of the school. It was done entirely by the faculty Consequently, there were few or no activities and the students were subjected to strict rules and regulations. These many rules look humorous to the present-day L. A. High student, so few has he to abide by. For example, it used to be the custom for the students to line up by classes, in the morning, before the entrance to the building and march in at the principal's word, Pass, given from the top of the steps. Neither at this time nor in passing from class to class, was any conversation allowed. In the daily morning assemblies, too, the same lack of participation of the students in school affairs was seen. The students were seated by classes. The singing was led by a teacher and if that teacher chanced to like one song better than another, the students would have to suffer. Another teacher would pro- vide the music. The principal would make the announcements and any moral talk that she thought necessary or appropriate. But this state of affairs did not exsist long in L. A. With the coming of Mr. Housh, an entirely new system was put into effect. Mr. Housh did not be- lieve in suppressing the individuality of the students and in allowing them to have no part in the school's activities. On the contrary, he sought to acquaint himself with their points of view and to discover their ideas and opin- ions. To this end, he would call the seniors into his ofdce tlor consultations and discussions. As he saw that their judgment was good, he laid certain responsibilities on them which increased their ability to carry them. It was, then, from Mr. Housh's desire to see the students take an active part in the running of school affairs, that Self-Government sprang. Its establishment is an achievement of which every student of L. A., past or present, should be proudg for ours was the first high schoiol in the country to have it. Student Body Government in L. A. developed from the Athletic Association formed in 1904 for the purpose off supporting and managing school activities. The administration of the Athletic Association consisted of its regular officers- president, secretary, and treasurer, with an advisory board of pupils and faculty members. The organization of a regular Student Body took place in 1905 when a constitution was adopted. Along with the development of Student Body activities, Self-Government Was instituted this same year with a supporting vote of ninety per cent of the students enrolled. The Self-Gov- . 26 ernment committee was elected by the House of Representatives and con- sisted of one member from each half grade, including post-graduates, besides eight members elected from the school at large. In summer 1912, a Senior Board control was inaugurated which has continued until the present time. Much older than the branch of Self-Government is that of the Star and Crescent Society. Its Wealth of foliage tells of a glorious past and testifies to the fact that it was once the main feature of this great tree. Formed by the class of 1879, the Star and Crescent Society was for many years the only organization of the school, and hence, one of great importance. To be its pres- ident was considered even a greater honor than we now consider to be pres- ident of the Student Body. The society grew both in membership and importance as the first president prophesied in his inaugural address. Shining now with the feeble light of crescent moon, yet Ifull of promise, it shall in time blaze with the full luster and glory of the stars. At first all except ninth graders were members, and the chief purpose of the society was to give students instruction in debating and essay writing. Later, however, the lower tenth graders were excluded and the purpose of the society became to entertain rather than instruct. At pres- ent, the society holds but one meeting a term and membership comprises the eleventh and twelfth grades. At this meeting, the old custom of presenting each graudate with a Star and Crescent pin is enacted. Ever seeking to give their strength and energy to the support of the great tree of L. Afs traditions, are its faithful alumni represented in the Alumni Association. In this association are some of the leading business and profes- sional men and women in the city. Yet, they never seem too busy or too oc- cupied with their own affairs, to stand by or protect their alma mater whenever occasion calls for it. One of L. A.'s most cherished traditions is the tower. How many adven- turous youths, in times past, have sought to explore its mysterious heights! How many tales have been woven about it! Then there was the old clock in the tower on the hill. L. A. has scarcely ever been without a publication of some kind in which to record the life of the school. The first paper to be published was the Star and Crescent which appeared in 1881. It was discontinued after several years, having accumulated a considerable debt. The next paper to appear was known as the Idea, and was first published about 1891. It served as the official organ of the Star and Crescent Society. Another paper, devoted to the interests of the Lyceum League in Southern California and L. A. High School which was known as the Lyceum, appeared in 1895. The present Blue and White Weekly fnow Dailyl was started in 1912. The traditional semi- annual or record of the class made its bow in 1897 and has appeared twice each year, without exception. ever since. Another important branch of the tree of traditions which may not be slighted is that of commencement. Commencement, today, is very different from what it used to be. Every member of the class had to contribute something to please his relatives. Orations, musical selections, and some- times debates were given. The large crowd which always gathered to witness the gala event, necessitated its being held in a downtown hall. The class play has always been an important tradition and it used to be considered the greatest event of the term. At the very beginning of the semester, the search for a play was begun. The parts were much sought af- ter, and it was a great honor to receive one. The productions were staged on a lavish scale under the supervision of a professional coach. Such is L. A.'s tree of traditions. Each year has seen something added to 'itg something making the tree just a little higher and just and little broader. It is now large and stately, but it has not stopped growing. It will ever continue getting more beautiful and -more rich with treasures as the years pass. May those who will in the future control .its destiny, do so with the same care and faithfulness of those who have watched over it these many years and may it prosper and grow ever greater under their care. Freeman Ambrose 27 AV AYQVAVAVAQ V Lv .za 75523 .5 ,.- XJ -ff2?i24:Q 'V4-V4-V6V4V4'Q'4HV P Z-'J C U L T V THE PRINCIPAIJS MESSAGE To the Members of the Summer Class of 1925: I was especially pleased with the choice of theme of your Semi-Annual, for I have had a life-long friendship for trees. Nature presents to her, children, in her great out-of-doors bool: of wonders, countless objects of loveliness and pictures of surpassing beauty. To most of us none of creation's marvels make a greater appeal than do the lovely trees, especially if we have had the good fortune to become acquainted with them and to enjoy them in their native habitat of mountain, plain, or desert. The spreading oak, maple, and sycamoreg the slender, quivering aspen, the graceful fir, the royal palm, the stately pine, the giant sequoiag also the charming ceoanthus, the fragrant rhus, the feathery mahogany, and many other shrubs and diminutive trees of the elfin forest that covers so many of our mountain slopes and foothill mesas:-these call to us to come out from the city for a week-end visit, or if possible to live with them during a portion of the year. The spirit of the mountains owes its lure in large measure to the stately trees that, as our beloved John Muir so beautifully says, are marshalled in glorious array, giving forth the utmost expression of grandeur and beauty with inexhaustible variety and harmony. If each one of you will go whenever you can to the mountains, whether by motor, street car, or on hiking tours, you will find your bodies and minds rested and invigoratedg and you will have greater admiration and love for the master artist and architect who has created so many beautiful living things for you to enjoy. Happy is the boy or girl who has the freedom and the love to cultivate the comradeship of nature's nobility, the lordly trees: whether they lift their strong hands extended to their Maker as if in devotion and prayerg or whether they caress the earth with their loving fingers, inviting to their protecting shade the timid. songsters and four footed denizens of the forest. It is well to go in joyous companies to make your stay in the woods a glad holiday, but it is even better to go with only your family or a few quiet friends for the solace and rest and inspiration that the mad rush of city life does not give us, and which we should get if we would acquire in our lives the graceful symetry that distinguishes our beautiful friends, the trees. And now my dear friends, a last personal word. You are completing an important four year cycle of your lives, and are an honor to your school, to your families, and to your country. I am completing a longer cycle, and probably the last important cycle of my life. I am honored by your respect and affection. I trust that your memories will be pleasant, as will be mine of this eventful year, in which we have worked together for the good of the school, striving to aid our school onward in the fulfillment of its mission, its divine mission of self-government and of planting in the hearts of each generation the principles of truth and loyalty and love. WWW Message of Miss Wolverton Dear Class of Summer '25: Through all the ages, probably no natural object has drawn the love and veneration of mankind more greatly than a tree. We of Southern California associate the long-lived, venerable trees with hills, and since the days of the Psalmist, hills have been the symbol of divine inspiration. How fitting is it, then, that we who are especially dedicating this book to our beloved Chief may weave our affection for him about such symbols as the gracious trees and the protecting hills. Many have sought the benediction of his graciousness, nor have been disappointed. Many have lifted up their eyes to his kindly face, and re- ceived help and inspiration. Over Los Angeles High School and its children here and round the world, Mr. Housh's benignity and idealism have ever brooded, in real presence and in memory, like gracious guardian angels. And may such guardianship always be yours. Sarah F. Wolverton Message of Mr. Oliver To the Summer Class of '25: In all probability our Principal is the only educator in America today who has had a continuous record of thirty years as Principal of a large City High School, and who, at the same time is completing his fiftieth year as a teacher in the educational field. This is a remarkable achievement and it brings high honor to the school and to the city at large. It should be a matter of keen satisfaction to Mr. Housh himself. During these thirty years, the school has developed from an institution of six hundred, with two definite courses, the Latin and Scientific, to one of three thousand, with a dozen clearly defined and well balanced courses. With all this development, the school has maintained a classical atmosphere. With all of the many innovations, Mr. Housh has held to the theory that the study of the humanities and the sciences was particularly essential to the development of leadership. A Under his guidance and approval the school has grown from an institu- tion of faculty control alone, to one in which students have come to take an active part in student management and in school administration. This devel- opment of student government in the Los Angeles High School has produced a kindly spirit of co-operation between students and faculty. In fact this co-operation has generated, a spirit of loyalty in the hearts of the faculty and students alike, which has been, and is one of the high lights in the life of the old Pioneer school. Mr. Housh has been a kindly adviser to the members fo the faculty, and a true and considerate friend of the boys and girls of the school. He has been calm in decision, unbiased in judgment and loyal to the high ideals of education. At the close of this, his thirtieth year, the school has a feeling of pride in having as its leader a man of such personal culture and high scholastic attainments, a man who has an optimistic belief in the rightness of boys and girls.

We regret to leave you and the school, but we are ready to seek new fields of endeavor, and new laurels. There are many of us, but we have worked and conquered together. We have had good times at our dances, The Senior A and B contest and debate, our Senior A Day, and our Vaudeville, for these were but a few of the milestones which marked our successful Senior year. We've not always won, but we've ever' proved ourselves to be good sports and have played the game. We are happy to have completed our course at L.

This has been a hard term and it has been only through the assistance of these pilots that we have been able to go through it successfully. No work has been too hard for them and the interests of the class have taken precedence over their personal interests. Through their efforts, the Star and Crescent Day has been finer and more unique than ever before. In leaving this school we want to thank them once more for helping us to make our last terms in L.

Alone, the president of senior B's Sits brooding deeply in oppressive thought His mind by turbulent emotions frought. His book, Inferno, by one Dante, writ, ' Has fallen to the floor, discarded now, A troubled frown is spread upon his brow, An evil plot he's planning bit by bit Against the Senior A's, so strong and great, Who, ere the hour is struck, do graduate. Whilst deep engrossed in thought of mischief rash, A splitting crack of doom the silence cleaves, Then shutters rattle as the ceiling heaves, Alld trembling, falls with one tremendous crash. A blinding flash a running form reveals, Which straight into a wood, exhausted, reels. it if li il' lk lk if 41 lk ik It Groping through the endless, murky maze, The weary outcast stumbles ever on, And coming to a dismal swamp anon lnto a chilling pool is cast his gaze: But staggering back, he views the image there With senile droop, white beard and scrawny hair, For many years have passed unnoticed byg In this eternal dungeon of the dead. The youth once staunch is feeble now instead. And so he totters onward with a sigh, What ho! A throng is gathered in a glade 'Neath jeweled, blinking lights that never fade. The wanderer, swiftly stooping, seeks a spot Behind a murky rock from which to spy Upon the merry crowd. His frenzied eye Betrays his very inmost, jealous thought, 'Tis his desire a method to connive To spite the class of Summer '25. Then he saw all our class assembled thus- 1 Satan Bissiri, Stanley Mullin, Captain of the Infernal Guards, A group of little devils recognized as Senior A girls, some centaurs-known as Senior A boys, and resting on their buckets, were the Senior Board members who represented the Hadean Fire Co. No. 1. The fire chief, Jack Dales, smoked contentedly by the pool of Lighting Gasoline, tossing his ashes therein. Pours strange speech from these asbestos clad, So that the Senior B reeks with his chuckles glad. Satan.: What ho! A stranger in our midst. Capt. of Infernal Guards: 'Twould be none other than a visitor from the earth. Satan: What is thy mission, wretch? Visitor: I come as the spirit of S'25 bearing the roll of that exalted class. Satan: Enter! On my bended knee, I beg 'of thee, enter. Make thyself at home: be comfortable on this bed of soft coal. 99 Capt: I, too, welcome thee, esteemed spirit! Thou wilt find all thy class but Kathleen Fitz here. For, Heaven's overcrowded, so they sent Who'd ever bluffed a lesson,-to repent. She studied well in mortal years and bluffed not any lesson. Now her monogram is chased upon a golden harp and a. special halo was prepared for her engraved with precious jewels. Visitor: May I call the roll then? Satan: Aye, and summon forth thy choicest tones. V: Where is Myron Albertson? M. A: Here am I-here in this pool of Battery Juice and Aerial wire. - V: Why art thou in this pool, Myron? I M. A: Because I was a radio bug and bugs may not enter Paradise. V: Betty Price? B. P: Alas, I was to have been an angel, but on arriving at the pearly gates I was seized with a Iit of giggling, and thinking me frivolous, St. Peter bade me depart. V: Theodore Drake? T. D: I am pinioned beneath the Rock of Martyrs. I was once mistaken for Vivian. V: Vivian Drake? V. D: Aw, Ted isn't the only martyr around this place. I am always mis- taken for Ted. V: Janet Farrington? J. F: My fate is the Valley of Vanity. I was once discovered with beauty clay all over my face. V: Robert Bnownell? R. B: To the Pit off Mis-Representation am I doomed. I looked too wise. V: Dorothy Servis? D. S: Present. Oh, my dear, you really don't know how thrilling it is down here-the most good-looking men- V: Parker Wilber? P. W: I killed myself trying to get the curls out of my hair and now I run a beauty parlor down here. V: Louis Leppe? L. L: St. Peter got sore at me for slapping him on the back. V: George Cuthbert? G. C: I wallow in the puddle of Unfortunate Circumstances. I am the brother of Dick. V: Dick Cuthbert? D. C: Good sir, I strangled him for that. Now I am body guard to Satan. V: Theo Stewart? T. S. Qlooking up at him with tantalizing eyesjz I- V: I can't be vamped-I'm just a visitor. But that's all right, no ex- planations necessary. Ruth Gortikov? R. G: There wasn't any more room for sweet young things in heaven. V: Murray Chotiner? M. C: Here you are, sir. May I sell you an asbestos mat or a tire extin- guisher? V: Thanks, not to-day. John Clark? J. C: Sad is my story. I tripped over my heels and fell headlong into the Pool of Absent-mindedness. V: Laura Kwasigroch? L. K: St. Peter thought I was trying to vamp him. Of course I wasn't. V: John Hadley? J. H: I pine upon the Mountain of Melancholy. My girl threw me down. 100 V: Bernice Palmer? B. P: My soul is forever lost, for I made the first original nomination acceptance speech which is a breach of etiquette no really good person would commit. V: Warren Bailey? W. B: The Valley of Fury is my doom. I led my fellow students to a life of folly with my irresistible jazz. V: Don Young? D. Y: Don't bother me! Can't you see I'm dating Cleopatra? V: Jack London? J. L: Here. V: What have you to say for yourself? J. L: Nothing. I don't think they're fair here. The only thing I did was to become engaged to a dozen girls or so at once. V: Phil Lansdale? P. L: I'm down here on general principles. V: Virginia Kellogg? V. K: I'm down here because there are no notorious people in heaven and in order to get my interviews I must roam through Hades. V: Mickey Watson? M. W: Alas for my dimple. It brought me here. V: Jack Armstrong? J. A: I forgot to ask if I might enter heaven and offended St. Peter by taking it for granted. V: Victoria Schuck? V. S: Here I am for attempting to correct St. Peter's English. V: Stanley Jewell? S. J: I condescended to come down to Hades to manage the realm for Satan. V: Norman Clark? N. C: Satan brought me down here to throw the spotlight on all the pretty girls. V: Roberta Alberti? R. A: I ruined my husband with my extravagance. V: Kirby Etter? K. E: Behold me taking a. special course in Latin with Nero. V: Elizabeth Kilpatrick? ' E. K: I boasted of being wicked until even the devil himself believed me. V: Charles Joannes? C. J. I took Rudolph's place and this is my fate for my famous Holly- wood night life. V: Joe Herman? J. H: I turned out to be a brute and a woman beater. V: Helen Reed? H. R: How could I get in heaven with a name like mine? V: Ruth Paine? Capt.: Ruth was scheduled for Paradise, but the class felt that they couldn't get along without her, so they kidnapped her and brought her along. V: Edwin Kraft? E. K: I am here for being a prevaricator, for in doing business with a wo- man that is the only way to get along. V: Betty Nye? B. N: Behold in me an example of my old flames making it hot for me. My roving eyes snared many a worthy man and these tipped St. Peter off lest he, too, should fall for my wiles. V. Milton Klein? M. K: I played the part of the devil in Faust and did it so realistically that St. Peter refused me admittance into heaven. 101 V: Laird Doyle? L. D. Weary am I in the Wood of Repentance. I broke an hundred thousand pretty hearts. V: Bill Gilbert? ino answerj Bill Gilbert? Satan: That boy is absent again. Five demerits. V: Raymond Fisher? R. F: Resigned am I to my fate. I recline upon a sofa studded with glass for I committed suicide trying to get the pictures in on time. V: Joel Butler? J. B: My torment is the Valley of Frozen Malted Milk. V: Proceed no further. I am acquainted with the reason and I congratulate St. Peter on his good judgment. Al Bourgeois? A. B: Pray, take care, stranger, lest ye be forced to remain here. You have pronounced my name wrong. V: Rex WVilliams? R. W: They say a man is known by the company he keeps: do you hear that, Homer Smith? V: Ethel Emerson? E. E: Did you call my name? V: I did the same. E. E: Why? V: Account for yourself. E. E: Oh, I didn't do anything bad: I just wanted to know why Satan did not trim his eye brows more often, and marcel his horns. V: Dick McKey? D. M: I missed a baseball practice when I was called on to be mayor, and gaze upon my punishment. All day I spend in signing balls for ornaments on Satan's hock shops. V: Chester Williams? Satan: Call again, he never comes by that name. Call him Chet. V: Chet? C. W: Unfortunate am I. Loud speakers are not let in to heaven. A cackling chuckle from his lips bursts out: Rejoices he to see the Seniors' fate Here in this dusky region grim and great. Turning away, he flings a taunting shout Behind, and starts to take himself from here, Where is no semblance left of goodly cheer. But though he looks, in vain, he cannot see The path whereby he came, for all around The flames have spread and covered up the ground. With sinking heart then realizes he The hopelessness, the grimness of despair, Wailing as he faces every flare: For trapped is he forever and a day,- Trapped in the musty dungeon which he mocked: Within th'immortal prison is he locked. Wake up, my dear, he hears his mother say. You fell asleep, and now I fear you're late To see your Senior friends all graduate. 102 '-N WX MW A 1 MS E 1 53 x-51251 k '5A..T.!.'iY , J ' fix' '-7 5 A A' f A ' I N mor q,EQ,A-Q Axypmcvl l H m f Qnof wk cm-41282, 9 - V ' A 'H' J' 1 I- 5 2 E 'n-xx.

SQZWICDR' Otis Williams Lois Thorpe Sara Gray Adelbert Culling Early in the term the class of W'26 again marshaled forces to storm the citadel of learning, hoping soon to see it fall under its persistent and spirited attack led by its efficient officers, and sponsors-Miss Amick and Miss Woolery, For the class colors, cerise and gray were chosen. A very appropriate design for the class pin was selected, a shield with an owl in the upper back- ground, according to Roman tradition, suggestive of wisdom and the protection it affords. At the meetings, during roll call every Wednesday morning in the assem- bly, entertaining programs have been given by the various Senior B class rooms. An enjoyable get-acquainted dance was held in the Girls' Gym. The Senior B's count among their number, not only students prominent in nearly all scholastic activities, but also boast an especially well rounded class. The two classes shared honors in both the semi-annual Senior A-Senior B contests, and at the inter-class debate. A departure from previous years was an invitation extended the alumni to attend the Star and Crescent dance. The officers for this semester were: President: Otis Williams. Vice President: Lois Thorpe. Secretary: Sara. Gray. Treasurer: Adelbert Culling. 110 s 4 .W-fn. , I ELEVENTH GRADE TENTH GRADE The Song of the Weeping Willow If you know not where I get my name, Look at meg If you know not kfrom where I came, I'l1 tell thee,- Out of the darkness and misery of souls, Out of the midnight's encumbering folds, Out of the pains of too much mirth, Out of the despair fof all the earth. You pity me, A But I pity you. It is I who enable the world to be gay, Forgive, and forget, and go on its way, Where,-who knows? The world that secret doth keep. But always I weep, I weep. I weep for the misleading of blindness of man, Who can never return no the era of Pan, I weep for those souls lost midway in life, Who have turned from the simple to wayward strifeg I weep for lost forests once filled with God's trees, The singing of birds, the buzzing of bees: I weep for the widow, babe clutched to her breast, I weep 'for the wanderer who finds no rest, I weep for the man who prays to die, I weep for him who breathes a. sigh, I weep for all things above and beneath, But never, never I weep for death. God made me this way, that the world should be gay, Forgive and forget, and go on its way, Where, who knows? The world that secret doth keep. But always I weep, I weep. Thelma Davidson Lower grade prize poem 114 ALUMN Alumni Editor, Blue and White Semi-Annual, I thank you very much for your invitation to give a message to my fellow-classmates -of the Class of Winter 1925 and to the Alumni of L. A. High. I think they will be interested in the story connected with my grad- uation alfter I reached the age of sixty. I came to Los Angeles in December 1875, and entered the Junior class of the old L. A. High School, which was then situated on the present site of our County Court I-Iouse, in 1879. Mrs. Chloe B. Jones, whlo is now liv'l1ng at Sierra Madre, was my teacher. I continued through the Junior and middle classes, and had almost finished with the Senior class, when I was taken ill and compelled to remain away from my studies. This prevented my grad- uation. I then took a course in the Los Angeles Business Chollege and when I had finished, proceeded to learn from the bottom up the manufacturing bus- iness that I have followed all my life. Q I became acquainted with Mrs. George Clark, a member of the Board of Education, while I was serving as President of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and at her invitation, I attended a. meeting of the Present Day Teachers' Club. During the course of my address to the teachers I told them oif my high school days in Los Angeles and that I had always regretted my failure to graduate with my class and receive my Star and Crescent pin. After I had finished speaking, one of the members of the Club expressed her interest in a very sympathetic way and said she believed a way could be found that would enable me to receive my diploma and pin, and that I could become a member of the Alumni. I told her nothing would give me more pleasure, but I feared that such unlooked for pleasure could not happen. I heard nothing more for several months until Ireceived a letter from Professor Housh, stating that the Present Day Teachers' Club had called his attention to my story and that the Class of Winter 1925 would like to confer an honorary membership upon me upon their graduation day. It is needless to say that I accepted it. On graduation day, I met the young mem- bers of my class, and the ceremonies of presenting me with my diploma and pin were beautifully carried out, especially did I appreciate the presentation of the Star and Crescent pin by Miss Dprothy Servis. I congratulated my classmates upon receiving their diplomas so early in life, while I had been penalized by having to wait forty-three years to receive mine. And when I returned to my home that evening, I was presented with a. magnificent boquet of roses by the Present Day Teachers' Club. This was really the end of a perfect day and it seemed to me that there was more joy over the one wanderer who had returned to the' flold than over all those who had never gone astray. Yours very truly, William Lacy. 115 Don Althouse Simon Ariel Elizabeth Arnold Lillian Bennett Louis Bernstein Raymond Branson Evans Briegleb Myers Butte Elsa Castner Milton Cohen Georgia Cooley Virginia Cooper Ray Cronemiller Evelyn Crop Rose Diamond Farrer Edson Eugenia Ellison Margaret French UNIVERSITY Joseph Barabe Helene Caldwell Alberta Carlson Brant Clark Paul Edwards Irene Griffiths Marjorie Harriman Dorothy Heitcamp Gustave Hayman Wanda Hill Leo Kirschbaum Betsy Levy Henry Lutweiler Laura Belle Mateer POSTING AT L.

Barbara Bannering came fr'om the dining room to join her husband ,at the front window and gaze with wonder at the figure approaching. Rolling described the motion exactly. The woman was a scant four feet in height, and apparently the same in width. Even at this distance the Bannerings could see how round her face was, and how flushed with exertion of ascending the slope from the gate to the vine-covered porch. Maybe I'd better wait a few minutes, laughed Tom, she may want to draw up her will before she dies of apoplexyf' Hush, Tom, she might hear you, caution- ed his wife with a warning glance at the open door. Aren't you ashamed to make fun of a poor suffering mortal? With difficulty they both suppressed their laughter as they watched the stranger toil up the steps and pant for breath before ringing the bell. When it finally sounded, Barbara, still struggling with the corners of her mouth, obeyed the summons. You are Mrs. Banneringf' said the caller, with air of making a statement which could not be denied. I just decided that I would come to see you this morning before it gets hot, 'cause I 'most melt when I walk in the heat of the day. I guess I'd just be a grease spot if I should melt. Barbara led her into the pleasant living room from which Tom had vanished. Before she could make a suitable comment on her visitor's dissolution, that personage went on in a high pitched, chirpy voice, 'Tm Mrs. Wilkes-Mrs. James Augustus Wilkes, to be exactg but in Collonsville they always call me Clem. You see, I was born there, and lived there until two weeks ago, and though my name is Clematis Pearl, folks you know real well hardly ever call you by your whole name. Pure laziness, I guess. Barbara was acutely conscious of impa- tient feet tramping the length of the hall, and as lack of breath caused a break in Mrs. Wilke's volubility, she excused herself and joined Tom, who was waiting to bid her good- bye. 120 That woman doesn't need a lawyer, as he kissed her. She's perfectly capable of doing her own talking, if I am any judge and this is a sample of her style. Don't let her talk you deaf and dumb, honey, and snatching another hasty kiss, he grinned broadly as he rushed off in the hope of reaching the law ofiiice by eight o'clock. Mrs. Wilke's flow of language had been unaffected by the interruption. My! You folks haven't been married long, have you now? she began as soon as Barbara re-entered the room. Two years, was Barbara's reply. I thought not, chuckled Mrs. Wilkes, from the way he said good-bye. Barbara flushed with resentment at the knowledge that the tender little parting scene had been spied upon. She knew that Mrs. Wilkes could have seen it only by rising and taking several steps toward the hall door. Her pique was unnoticed by her visitor, who went on with her monologue. I've been married seventeen years, come next August. But Pa- that's James Augustus- is an invalid. We got married in August because we thought that since his name was so near the same it would be lucky, but somehow or other, it didn't help much. He just can't work at anything steady without he gets sick, yet when he stays at home he feels all right- that is, almost. I've been taking in washing lately. I s'pose to look at me you wouldn't think I could do much washing, but I'm real strong in my arms, and Clementina helps with the lifting and the hanging out. As she ran out of breath, Barbara felt constrained to ask, Is Clementina your daughter? Mrs. Wilkes beamed. Why she's my oldest girl, almost fifteen and kinda named for me, only we always call her Tina, so's not to get us mixed up. Then there's Virgie, my second girl, her name is Virginia Felicia, she's thirteen and has been taking care of Mrs. Al1enby's children. Augustine Cornelius, he's sorta named for Pa, he'll soon be twelve. Maybe you've seen him driving the delivery wagon for the grocery. That leaves the baby, Jamesina Geraldine, to play alone, but she's past five, and she helps to keep the house straight while Tina and me are washing. Barbara thought of the loving care with which Tom surrounded her and their baby boy, now sleeping in his gold and white nursery, and her heart softened toward this woman for whom life seemed so hard. Well, continued Mrs. Wilkes, Last night I says to Pa., I'm going up to Mrs. Bannering's in the morning and see if she will let me do her wash,' I really do have white clothes, though I say it myself, as shouldn't, I'll be careful of the baby things. For the first time she came to a voluntary stop and waited for Barbara's answer. I always wash Sonny Boy's dresses myself, answered that young person's motherg but I have the rest done at the laundry so it won't make any difference to it if I stop. I would rather have you do it for me. Thanks, said Mrs. Wilkes briefly. And while I'm here, I might as well kill two birds with one stone, as you might say. Pa is just about the size of your husband, and I could make over some of your clothes for the girls. Now, I'd just like to have anything you're sure you don't want. Hier manner was suggestive of the road agent's Fil trouble you for your valuables! Barbara ran over in her mind the contents of her clothes closet-she could spare the blue Voile, and the pink linen she was planning to make over to wear for summer. There was a serge suit of Tom's she was sure he could do without. Yes, I'm sure I can find a few things, she said. Wait here and I'll get them for you. Mrs. Wilkes got to her feet with surprising ease, considering her size. Why, I might as well go along with you, she said. You know I might see things that I can use that you wou1dn't think of. 121 Barbara felt another wave of resentment as Mrs. Wilkes waddled down the hall behind her, but when on peeping into Sonny Boy's room, she found him awake, her visitor's very real admiration warmed her heart again, and it was without a grudging afterthought that she saw Mrs. Wilkes roll down the walk with four dresses instead of two, Tom's suit, and a basket containing several pairs of shoes. So it came about that Barbara was elected Patroness of the House of Wilkes and Chief Giver of Good Things. Not that she was the only giver, for the motto of Mrs. Wilkes's family must have been, Ask, and ye shall receive. When the Wednesday Embroidery Club met, the conversation invariably turned to Mrs. Wilke.s and her requests. What do you think she asked for the other day? laughed Mrs. Watson. She wanted either a can of salmon or money to buy a can, because fish agrees with Pa better than meat. Last week she asked me for silk stockings for Clementinaj' chimed in Mrs. Howard, the newest bride. Yesterday she made known her need of an umbrella, was Barbara's contribution to the list. That is what she asked me for this morning! exclaimed Mrs Watson in surprlse. With shrieks of mirth, four other young women admitted that the same demands had been made upon them. I suppose you all gave her what she wanted, said Mrs. Rolf, with a note of grimness in her voice. She was older than the other members of the club and they all stood somewhat in awe of her. They admitted that the requests had been granted as far as possible. You are pauperizing that family, Mrs. Rolf went one in her didactic manner. They will soon learn that it is- easier to beg for things than to work for them. I think that you should all stop it at once. She asked me for some jelly for Pa, as you call him. I told her I should be glad to give it to her, provided she would send one of the children to clean my yard, but she said something about their being too busy, and she has never come back. You could get rid of her the same way. Several women looked as though they would have made a reply had they dared, but it was Barbara, flushed wtih indignation and excitement, who came to the defense of their attitude toward Mrs. Wilkes. n I hope we are not doing what you fear, Mrs. Rolf, she said. Mrs. Wilkes has not given up a bit of laundry work she undertook when she first came here. The children work, even the baby, but there isn't enough to support a family of six. How many of us, I wonder, could feed and clothe four children on the wages of a laundress? Mrs. Rolf compressed her lips to a thin, straight line, which meant that she was preparing to launch an argument that would leave Barbara speechless. Everyone was feeling the tension of embarassment when their hostess, Mrs. Allenby, called from the window, Come-a-runnin! and then went into a gale of laughter. The others hastened to look, and then followed her example. For they beheld marching in solemn procession, all six members of the Wilkes family, each sheltered from the rays of the afternoon sun by his own, individual, though recently acquired, large black umbrella. Virgie brought up the rear, endeavoring to share her umbrella with the Allenby tots. Mrs. Wilkes observed the spectators at the window. She waved to them, and chirped blithely, We are all taking a holiday this afternoon, because today's Pa's birthday. All of them have umbrellas but my two angels, giggled Mrs. Allenby. If they are going to associate with the Wilkeses, I shall have to see if I can't get them some.! In the mirth that followed the passing of the parade, Mrs. Rolf forgot her argument and conversation was cleverly kept off the subject of the Wilkeses for the rest of the afternoon. 122 That October Barbara felt her little world shaken. The town was stricken with influ- enza. Every day brought new cases, and reports of dire results. Barbara tried to con- quer her fears, but each morning she dreaded to see Tom leave for the office, and each evening she rejoiced when he returned home, safe and well. As she rocked Sonny Boy to sleep, she held him more tightly in her arms, as though by their strength she could keep away the dread disease. One morning Tom was fevverish, with a splitting headache. It was afternoon before the over-worked Dr. Wyatt could reach the house. After the briefest examination he called Barbara from the room, Your hus- band has influenza, Mrs. Bannering, and it's going to take some mighty good nursing to prevent pneumonia. Barbara bit her lip to stop its quivering, but in spite of all efforts, her voice shook as she suggested. Hadn't I better get a nurse ? You can't get nurses now, for love or money, the doctor returned, a little husky at the sight of Barbara's white face. You can take care of him better, anyway, than most of these nlew-fledged nurses they send us from the hospital. Simply obey these in- structions, beginning to write at the little desk. Barbara was profoundly thankful that he did not trust to verbal directions, for two, thoughts were twirling through her brain at maximum speed: I will nurse him back to health-but what will I do with Sonny Boy? VVhen her thoughts had quieted again, she tried to solve this problem. Many of her friends had influenza in their own homes. Mrs. Howard had gone to her mother in the East as soon as the disease had become epidemic. Maybe Mrs. Rolf will take him, she thought. There are no children, and she has a maid, so he. wouldn't be much trouble. I'1l 'phone her. Mrs. Rolf was full of sympathy for Bar- bara's plight until she was asked to take Sonny Boyg then the ice crept into her tones. My dear, I would be delighted to do it for you but you know that I'm not at all strong and as the baby has been exposed, I fear I might contract the influenza from him. I do hope you will find someone else, for I do feel so sorry for you. 123 , t v X 1 K EXW? V hm, 1 if I 'V tn ,V , Xl W! .

The tears she had been telling herself she must not shed could not be held back any longer. Muffling her sobs in the pillows of the couch, she gave way for an instant to her terror and heart- ache. She did not hear a step on the porch, but suddenly Mrs. Wilkes's high voice sounded at her side. I just heard that Mr. Bannering has the 'fluf' Oh, you must not come in here! cried Barbara, drying her eyes. The doctor will not let you out again! I don't want out again, said Mrs. Wilkes calmly, as she began un- wrapping the bundle she carried. I have come to take care of the baby and run this house. When I heard that your husband was sick, I says to Pa and the children, You'll just have to get along without me for a while So here I am and you just run along and take care of your man, and don't worry a mite. By this time she had put on the big blue apron she had taken from the bundle. Not trusting herself to speak, Barbara gave the plump hand a squeeze into which she tried to put an expression of grattitude, and then hurried to begin her period of nursing. The week that followed was a nightmare to Barbara. In spite of Dr. Wyatt's praise, she felt that her nursing could not be efficient. A thousand fears filled her mind as she sat at Tom's bedside. At last came the blessed morning when the doctor told her the crisis was passed and the danger of pneumonia was over. She had to grip the bed-post with all her strength, to keep from becoming hysterical from pure joy. Now she had time to realize how faithfully Mrs. Wilkes was discharging her trust. The invalid's tray was perfectly prepared, and her own meals were delicious. Each day Mrs. Wilkes took Sonny Boy for an airing and she always stopped for a few minutes where his mother could feast her eyes on his perfect health and happy contentment. Mrs. Wilkes stayed until the doctor assured her that there was no longer any danger to Sonny Boy in coming in contact with his parents, then folding up her blue apron, she returned to, her own family. Much to her delight, Sonny Boy howled lustily at her departure. When the Embroidery Club resumed its meetings, Barbara eloquently recounted the story of how Mrs. Wilkes came to the rescue. I think that repays us amply for the things we have done for her, said Mrs. Allenby, patting Barbara's hand. It is a great comfort to know there is someone to depend on when we're in need. I have a great idea! cried Mrs. Howard, enthusiastically springing to her feet. Thanksgiving comes next weekg let's do something big to show that we are thankful for such a neighbor. There was not a dissenting voice raised at this proposal. Even Mrs. Rolf promised a sack of flour. Sugar, potatoes, lard, and meat were added to the list. On the following Wednesday, a committee took the offering to the Wilkes home. There could be no doubt of Mrs. Wilkes' gratitude, but her speech of acceptance was characteristic:- I certainly am much obliged for all these things. They will last us quite a while. But don't forget that next month will be Christmas, and Pa is just awful fond of turkey.

Don't think of sorrow, tree, or to-morrow, Live for tonight and its song, For love, dear, is sweet and fragile and fleet? Regret is ever so long!

Several of my friends played and they always seemed to get a great deal of enjoy- ment out of it. They would stay down at the court for half a day and go home flushed and radiant. It seemed a game that was lots of fun and the apparent ease with which they slung their rackets and drove their balls led me to believe that it was a simple game and one that I would very readily learn. I rather dreaded my first few trials at it because of the attention which would focus on me., as a be- ginner, but I supposed that when I got a ball in one hand and a racket in the other it would be the most natural thing in the world to use the two easily and correctly. Well, I changed my mind. I went down town attired in my bright blue sweater, white pleated skirt, crepe-soled ox- fords and felt sport hat to get a racket. It seem- ed inevitable that all who saw me would be convinced because of the dashing clothes, that I was a professional playerg perhaps if I pulled my felt sport hat down low over my eyes, I might even be taken for Helen Wills. That I immediately did. I went in the store and asked to see the latest model Crawford racket, because mother had one of that make. The dark-haired col- legian-looking salesman informed me with ev- ery semblance of a sneer spread over his features that Crawfords were obsolete since 1905. Of course I felt just like the proverbial penny waiting for change and asked to see something else good. He showed me one with red strings that particularly suited me. fl knew it would be very alluring with a red and white sweater. So I did as the heroine of Barbie had done when she'd found a perfect racket. fl had carefully memorized these words from the book to be used on such an occasion as this.J I said, The grip is fine. It has that feel- ing of a good racket. The meaning of the word grip was unknown to me then, so I held the racket by the top of the curve as I said this. That's a really very odd thing to find in one. so cheapg it's only four and a half, he drawled with that awful look decomposing his face again. 126 I I felt that it was necessary to keep up my opposition to this creature so I said, The weight is just right and I shall take itj' although I didn't know whether it had ever been weighed or not. When you have learned to play, the man said brusquely, You will realize that ten and a half is too light, but have it if you like. Never in my life had I seen anyone so impertinent. The idea of his insinu- ating that I could not play! Of course, I couldn't but I had done nothing to let him know that. He didn't even seem to care whether I bought the racket or not. I retorted hotly with a rising color that I knew must rival the red cat- gut. tl never could see why poor little cats should be killed so that their insides would be used to hit ballsb Sir, I remarked really frigidly consid- ering the hotness of my face. You do not realize that you have the honor of speaking to a professional player. He coughed in a strained manner and appeared practically nonplussed as he said with entire gravity, Why you are Helen Wills, aren't you? I did notreally reply but fluttered my eyelids and dropped my hands at my sides so that he might know that he had guessed rightly. It pleased me that the little ruse of my felt sport hat had proved effective. While he was doing up the racket he was very courteous and even told me that he played tennis after a fashion but could never hope to rival my prowess. I replied modestly that practice was what had done it, and wondered, as I said it, if false teeth could be the cause of the corners of his mouth twitching. It is sad for one so young to have lost his teeth. Jane was going to teach me the arts of that precious gameg so early on a bright shining Sunday, we started out for the court. I wore the red and white sweater' and swung my racket jauntily as I had seen other girls doing. We played without any onlookers for a whole set and in that brief half hour all of my illusions about tennis took wings and flew. I had thought it such a simple and rather childish game, that of batting little balls, but it was not so. Jane had explained all the intricacies of counting to me and I had counted until I felt sure that I could do it in my sleep. The garage door and drive had served as a court on which I had practiced strokes. But, oh, my lands! When I stood out there it looked a mile to the net. None of my balls could be made to go over it but they usually jumped the fence and required chasing or else rolled slowly along the ground. Four boys came just as we finished that set and we let them have the court. Some more strolled in and they played and all the time I was getting more nervous. I knew it would be' our turn again and I didn't see how I could get up there and make such a dumb-bell of myself. They were all excellent players and I could imagine how the horrid things would laugh at me. I tried to persuade Jane to go home, pleading a terrible headache, but for once that wise girl was hard-hearted and absolutely refused. I thought of going myself but I guess I was hoping the world would come to an end or something, for I just sat there frozen with apprehension. Two of the boys came across the court and I heard them ask if we wouldn't play doubles. And I heard Jane reply affirmatively. What horror! Their voices sounded as far away as if I were under the influence of ether. I walked out on the court as if in a dream. I wondered vaguely why I was playing across the net from Jane. Someone calling Service brought me back to earth. It seemed to my frightened eyes that all those boys and everyone else in the world must be looking at me alone. My partner looked terribly bored when I had to be told to change courts. When I saw a ball speeding toward me, I held out my racket but the undisciplined thing sailed right through it, not disturbed in the least. Looking toward the benches I was horrified to see there the young man who had sold me the racket. Never in my life had I been so embarrassed or felt so conspicuous. What would he think of me and the tremendously untruthful stories I had told him? 127 Qllfll lll I - .ll 1.---- pl, l'I 'I 1 I WM M I l fllllfl f swf- I W' ' lily, 410: Nfl f ' E, A Q- fix - I.

V . ex, G! 'll I saw a ball heading my way and decided to try to hit it, I made a great lunge and felt a thud that nearly knocked my hand off. The ball had struck my racket. You see, I do not claim the honor of having struck the ball. But instead of going over the net it went straight up. All things that rise must fall and it fell-right on my head. I didn't feel the pain so much but heard so many ha-ha's that I blushed furiously. Oh, how I wanted to die then and there, just to show them that I wasn't to be laughed at. The sport salesman who had been so disagreeable was only smil- ingg not holding his sides at all. Then it was my turn to serve. My hands trembled so that I know people thought I was subject to attacks of St. Vitus dance. None of my balls went over. They all seemed to be so- lazy and sort of carelessly rolled along a few feet and the harder I tried to hit them the more aimless they became. I mixed Mah-Jong with my carefully pract- iced counting and wildly shouted pung-fortyn instead of love-forty. At that, of course there were so many more hee-haws that I could have very well imagined that I was in a barn surrounded by braying donkeys. The game kept on for what seemed eons, Balls sped by me by the hundreds. I gave up trying to hit them and merely waved good- bye with my racket as they flew past. Some- one had told me that a simple way to drop off into unconsciousness was by breathing very deeply ten times and pressing one's chest on the tenth breath. That I did, but to no avail. I stood there feeling more conscious than ever before, if you know what I mean. That always to be remembered game fin- ally ended. Somehow I changed my shoes and got my racket in its case. Then a person spoke to me, Miss Wills, can't I take you and your friend home? he asked. I glanced up. His face had lost that terrible, superior look and his smile was very nice. I was surprised that I hadn't noticed before what lovely hazel eyes he had. Though I've never seen these twinkling orbs you read about so often, his came nearer to matching up to that term than any I'd noticed. and the way he called me Miss Wills, apparently in all seriousness. Of course, it wasn't proper but Jane and I rode home with him in a perfectly adorable yellow roadster. And that's all I'm going to tell you of my tennis and of Jack Huntly except for three things. - First, we are very good friends nowg second, I can play tennis much better, --actually beat him three sets out of four yesterday, and third, I've discovered that his teeth are sound and that it wasn't a false plate that made his mouth uncontrollable in the sport store. Caroline Kraft Upper grade prize slnry 128 The Spell of the Big Trees Although it was only May, Forrest Rhodes was home from college. According to him, the faculty had thought his presence at school unnecessary because of certain unfortunate affairs with the lowly freshmen. According to the letter in the trembling hand of Forrest Rhodes, Sr., the faculty denounced the boy as unreliable, as unscholarly in his attitude to- ward his lessons, and as having a mischievious spirit that was dominated by vandalism. Son, I am surprised at you. You, who have had such an opportunity for a splendid edu- cation, have disgraced our name. Forrest tried to look impressed but failed miserably as he lolled in a great leather chair. He muttered a few words which were not intended for his father's ear. But,- So thatts it. ls it? You don't care. Well I'm through with you and your escapades. Leave this house and don't return until you have proved a success. With these words, Mr. Rhodes turned his back on his son who, white- faced and shaking, jerked himself to his feet and took a step forward with his hands out- stretched as if pleading for mercy. Then he seemed to reconsider and his hands dropped to his sides as clenched fists while a hard and determined look masked his face. He swung on his heel and left the study, banging the door behind him. -------4-- It was with mixed feelings that Forrest Rhodes, disowned, stepped into his Packard roadster. Now, the force of his foolish actions and wasted time struck him as never before. As he sped toward the main part of Los Angeles, he mentally surveyed his position. He was nineteen and without a home or a job, His capital was fifty dollars plus his car. Not very much, but-he had it. He would sell the car. It was the latest model and ought to bring him quite a sum of money. Then it struck him that he would not find it agreeable to stay in the same town with his parents and friends. Towards these he naturally felt bitter. He blamed his friends because he felt that they, in a sense, were the cause of his disgrace. With them, he had led a fast loose pace which had thrilled and 129 A X.,-N Lg held him for the time. Now he was sick of all the extravagances and falsities of such a life. He was therefore determined to leave the town at any cost. His first move was naturally to dispose of his car for which he received fifteen hundred dollars. As he came out of the concern to which he sold the car, he all but ran into Oliver King, one of his college chums. rar-'don me. VVhy hello, Oliver. Hello, Forrest, answered the boy addressed. Where have you been keeping yourself lately? I have not seen you. I've been up to college. I heard about your dismissal from there. How did your dad take it? Disowned? That is too bad and I am sorry. What are you going to do now? I don't know, but I have several plans. Let's not stand here all day. What do you say to being my guest and having lunch with me at home. My father may be able to help you. After a pleasant time at the dinner table. Mr. King led the way into the parlor where he drew the pitiful story from Forrest. What are you going to do now, Forrest? he queried, I have several plans but none seem feasible. I would like to offer a suggestion if I may. Why don't you leave here, taking only enough money to carry you through, banking the rest, and go to work for a year? Then come back here with your savings, go to your father and tell him you are going back to college on your money? That's a fine idea, Forrest answered With a brightened face. Then his face fell. But what could I get to do ? How would you like to work as a company ranger at my lumber' camp in Idaho? Your duties would be to watch for forest fires and report the con- ditions of the streams to the mill, Your salary would be about fifty dollars a month with board and room. That would be fine, Sir. I'll do it because your plan is far superior to mine. Give me a letter and I will leave tonight. With these words, Forrest took leave to go home and get his belongings, also to put one thousand dollars in the bank. -------- - - Forrest had been in the mountains for two weeks. His work he found pleasingly isolated. He was the sole proprietor of a small log cabin, a month's supply of rations, and a telephone connected with the mill. In the brief time he had been there, the clean cold bracing air had expanded his chest and he felt fine. As the months passed, Forrest found himself growing mentally, physically and morally. He had learned to love the whispering pines. He had listened to them talking together in the breezes of the clear, cool evenings. He came to regard them as humanly alive. As he sat outside his cabin at night, he listened to their counsel and advice. This seemed to clear his mind of its poisonous bitterness. They had encouraged him in the evenings when he had felt lonely, down-trodden, and blue. ' One day during the last month of his year, over the eastern mountains, there belched a thick smoke. A forest fire was raging beyond that rim! He rushed to the phone. Oh, God,',' he shouted into the mouth piece, Send men. A fire is raging. He rushed out of the cabin, picked up a hoe and axe, and rushed in the direction of the conflagration. As he climbed the slope, the smoke became thicker, cinders fell all around him, and the heat gradually grew unbearable. VVith difficulty he gained the height and stood horrified at the spectacle before him. The valley was a wild sea of flames. The trees crackled and seemed to cry out in pain and entreaty to Forrest. The van-guard of the fiery host 130 advanced witl1 amazing speed. Forrest regain- ed his senses and started to widen the fire- break that ran along the ridge. The fire came up to the break from the sea. Forrest swept down upon these and put them out with the aid of a thickly leaved branch with which he had armed himself. Slower and slower he ran back 'and forth along the short space of break in the face of that terrific heat. His face became blistered and great holes were burned in his clothing by the sparks and cinders. He stopped and turned his back to the danger and was about ready to retreat when he thought of the trees. They had befriended him and he was failing them. VVith renewed energy and spirit he again faced his enemies, the flames. He was fighting for his trees. Three or four times he fell on his face but each time he regained his feet with more and more difficulty. VVhere were the men? They should have been there by now. VVell he would fight the fire alone until he dropped for the last time. Several times more he fell. His face was raw and bleeding, his hands were unrecognizable, while his boots smoked. At last it seemed as it' the fiend had won, for Forrest stumbled into the shade of a tree and crumpled to the ground, unconscious. There the men found him a moment later. They carried him back to the cabin carefully and with praise on their lips for his courage. He had saved the trees. The men pushed back the fire and a few days later a rainstorm ex- tinguished the smouldering stumps. It was two weeks before Forrest came to his right mind. During that time he had raved about his horrible experience. XN'hen he opened his eyes weakly, his first question was: Are the trees all right? The nurse open- ed the window and he sank back satisfied. He had seen the treetops swaying in the breeze. Everett Chapman Lozwr grade prize Story 131 TREES Tall trees, Short trees.

I re- member that when I first saw him, as he came swinging up the path in his wide brimmed hat and great boots, my heart gave a little leap, for Roger Marston is as fine to see as he is fine to know. Dad and I, I am Bonnie, small, blonde, and nineteen, were spending the summer that year in the Temagami Reserve up in the very heart ol' Canada's forest land. It is the most magnificent, the most wild, the most perfect place that can be imagined-thousands and thousands ol' miles of great and mighty forests --hundreds and hundreds of miles of silver water dancing and crinkling in the sun, and at night reflecting the northern lights that quiver and flutter overhead in the velvet sky. Canada trembled for her wild-land that summer. There were days when we could count the smokes of seven different forest fires in seven different directionsg days when the smoke hung heavy over the lakes and crept steathily in among the treesg days when we would see Roger going home, gaunt and burnt and bloodyg when Dad would sit and make praises for his fineness in leaving college to help his country, and I would go on read- ing and pretend I didn't care. It wasn't that I didn't like Roger. I did. I admired him as one can but admire a fine, clean man, but the sentiments weren't mutual and his indifference to me distinctly hurt my feelings. And probably that is all there ever would have been to it had it not been for a remark ol' his one day when I wasn't supposed to be around. I don't know what brought it about, but I arrived just in time to hear him say some- thing to the effect that all girls disgusted him because they never knew anything really worth while-for instance, what girl ever knew anything about nature on a big scale? Right there was where I set to work. Every time Roger and Dad talked for the next few weeks I was around, to all appearances deeply engrossed in a magazine, but really absorbing every word. I studied wireless until I knew it backwards, forewards, and sideways, and be- I33 fore long I was surprised at what I did know. Roger talked mostly about the Peak where his station was. It seemed that if a fire got under way there the whole south was lost, and it was the fear of his life that he would be away sometime when a fire would start. Of course at the time I was so in earnest that I half expected to see a fire everywhere I looked and I dreamed all sorts of foolish things about saving the entire forest, but after my ardor be- gan to cool down, I realized how small a chance I had of ever doing a thing. And then one day!-It is a nightmare to me yet: I wake up sometimes at night with my whole body trembling. One day Roger went over to the Hudson Bay Company for supplies. Dad had gone to the races at the camp and I was alone. About every hour I got up and looked along the horizon for smoke, still carrying on my foolish dream, but as it got later in the day I lost all hope and settled down for good. It must have been five o'clock when I looked up again, and oh, I shall never forget the icy chill that swept my body! Across the lake in front of me, a distance of about two miles, was the mainland and the Peak. Somewhere in that dense mass of shrubbery was Roger's station, and horrors of horrors, a little way to the north a great column of smoke swirled and played and crept gradually down to the south with a steady little north wind. One second I sat paralyzed with fear and then I ran. I seized the swiftest, tippiest little canoe we had and started away over that awful stretch of water. The first half I struggled with every ounce of strength I had, frantically, hysterically, and then as my strength began to go I realized that I must save myself for the mile to the station and with the thought I settled down. My strokes lengthened and became firm and easy, my mind cleared and I began to think. The regular path inland led from the cove, a good half mile farther on. The only other way was by the old blazed trail that Dad and I had taken once for fun.I decided that it would be quicker to follow it than to take the path, but-could I do it-alone? I reached the land, pulled the canoe up and started on the easy Indian trot that I had heard Roger say was the best for endurance. The way was hard and there were holes in the ground and fallen trees to dodgeg there were bushes and trees in the way and above all there was that little infrequent, indistinct blaze to watch. Oh yes, it had been fun to follow with Dad when there was no hurry and no- danger, but now- I set my teeth and hurried on. VVhat I went through then seemed like an inferno at the time, but to what happened afterwards it was nothing. I was nearly there when a terrible dull roar came to my ears. I stopped, straining, listening. A dull fear clutched my heart, and then I knew. The wind had increased. It was the fire whipped on by the fiercest enemy of the ranger, the wind. Was I too late? Could I reach the station before the red tongues licked it up? The rest of that journey I cannot remember. It seemed that I was picked up by strong arms and born to my place of destiny. I remember coming breath less to the door. I remember seeing in terror a great blanket of red rolling down the hill, rolling,-rolling,--roaringf--roaring-I choked a sob and tried the door. It was locked. For a moment an awful feeling of hysterical terror came over me. I wanted to run, I was trembling. My throat hurt, my heart pounded. I tried the door with all my strength but it was tight. Then I ran to the window. With one blow I smashed the glass, a great gash of red appeared on my arm. I climbed through and ran to the wireless. My trembling fingers found the sender. L-M-F-L-M-F Temagami I sent Lf-M-F R M station sending, R-M station sending There was no reply, All was still except for that awful threatening roar outside. L-M-F - L-M-F I sent frantic- ally. Was there a reply? I bent lower. Ta-ta-ta-ta, it came, R-M - R-M L-M-F speaking. Igave a sob of joy. Fire on Peak, I answered, Send help to fight from south. North wind driving- A sudden blinding light caught my eye. I looked out. The fire had reached the cabin and the great pine tree that shadowed it was a blaze of liames. Now for myself! I heard 134 the insistent ticking of LeMfF as I climbed through the window but there was no time to stop. Outside was all noise and heat and fire and-I staggered through. A blazing branch fell from a tree and hit my shoulder. The wind whistled aboveg the fire roaredg and I ran, and ran, and ran. My breath dried in my throat and choked meg my heart pounded and hurt, I stumbled over a fallen tree and fellg and behind I heard a scream, a shudder and another scream of death and on I ran. I glanced behind. I was running as I thought no human could run, but swift it followed me. It tagged my heels. I felt the hot breath on my neck. A wild rose reached out and grasped me and tore my blouse. I staggered. I fell. I rose and fell again. It seemed there was no air to breathe. I lay there panting, panting, gasping. I could not breathe, I was suffocating. And then under my arm a snake slid but I staggered up and ran on, and on. The wind whistled by my earsg my hair whistled behind: the trees whistled aboutg the fire whistled a- round. lVly eyes grew blind and everything whirled about me. I swayed and fell, and then far away I heard a cry, Bonnie I staggered up and took a few steps and fell again, and as I fell I heard a cry in answer, Roger and I knew that it was my voice although I did not know that I had called. It seemed an eternity until I felt strong arms about me although in reality I know it was but a moment. I looked up straight into Roger's fear stricken eyes and though I didn't know it then he says I smiled. There were shouts around us, the sound of axes wielded by strong arms. Then I knew the men had come. Roger, I whispered, 'tIs it too late? UNO. he panted, No. Oh you game little kid, you-you game little kid. That was all I wanted and with a sigh I leaned back into his strong arms. There were many noises around me, but I only heard one little whisper above them all and that was Roger's. Bonnie, he breathed, and I never heard a sweeter sound in all my life.

Vice President: Gilbert Edwards. Secretary: Donald Moses. Treasurer and Faculty Sponsor: Mr. Benson. Sergeant-at-Arms: Frank Prescott. The House of Representatives consists of the class room President, Presi' dents of both the Girls' and Boys' Senior Boards and the manager of athletics They meet every Tuesday during roll call in an informal meeting, of which Dr. Edwards is in charge. The House of Representatives does a great deal of work in solving many important questions 'for the school. Some of the work done this year was the continuing of our construction of the Memorial Park, securing gold baseballs for our championship baseball team and checking the work done by other organizations of the school. 138 Henry Garner Claude Cunningham William HOTUOYL Joe Grossman The Secretary and Treasurers' Club was 'formed two and one half years ago by Ogden Chapple. It is composed of the Secretary and Treasurer from each classroom. The aim of the club is to further better co-operation' between the class room oflicers and the student body. The Club- meets every Monday in the auditorium during roll-call. One dance is held during the term. The Student Body Manager of the school acts as Ex-oilicio President and the other officers are elected by the club members. Pins are given to all secretaries having a total of twenty inches of news in the Blue and White Daily, and to treasurers having 'a 10015 class- room in Blue and White Daily subscriptions as well as efficiency in their other work. The officers for the past term were: Ex-ofiicio President: Henry Garner. Vice President: Claude Cunningham. Secretary: William Horton. Treasurer: Joe Grossman Sponsor: Miss Katherine Carr. Q 139 ' Henry Garner George McCormack The Student Body Managers have charge of all receipts from the various games, meets, contests, and entertainments, as well as the Boys' Gymnasium Fund and special donations. All tickets for the various events are managed by this department. Besides the Manager, there are three Assistant Managers, appointed from the respective grades who work up to the position of Manager. Mr. William Reimer is the rfaculty advisor. A new system for checking in tickets sent to class rooms has been worked out and has proved much more satisfactory and efficient than the old system. Class room treasuers check in at the end of roll-call on the day of the event at a central station on their respective floors, in- stead of at the West Box Office exclusively. In most cases the check on each event is completed by the end of the second period on the day of the event, whereas, formerly the check was frequently iniot iinished until a Week after the event. The Manager wishes to extend his thanks and appreciation to the class- room treasurers for their co-operation this term, and also to the members of the R. O. T. C. for their willingness and eiiiciency in ushering, taking tickets, and guardianug the field. The Manager, Henry Garner, has been loyally supported this term by George McCormack, Edwards Patterson, and Donald Mullis, Assistant Managers. 140 Tom Henderson Virginia Kellogg Rudolph Villasenor William Hacker Sidney Jensen Charles McCormick One of the three high school dailies in the United States and the first in Southern California is the honor which the Blue and VVhite Daily has achie- ved this semester. A two weeks' trial was given last term, and, as the small paper won by an overwhelming majority when put to a vote of the school, it has run continually this year. The Blue and White consists of four sheets of interesting and entertaining news, one quarter the size of the Weekly. At the Press Convention, L. A. ranked high in news evaluation and features, in addition to having the best editorial page in Southern California. Two social events are given each year, the dinner-dance for past and present members of the staff and the ceremonial when the name of the term's editor is added to the honor tablet in the Daily office. Special features of this term's paper were the Famous People inter- views, among them, David Starr Jordan, Mary Pickford, Harold Lloyd, Carrie Jacobs-Bond, and the Crossword Puzzle Contest. A special issue was put out during Boys' Week. This term's editor was Tom Henderson. The assistant editors were Sidney Jensen and Virginia Kellogg. The editorial staff consisted of Charles Kelley, Rudolph Villasenor, and Vernon White. The personnel of the business staff was as follows: W. D. Hacker, Jr., Lewis Gough, A. C. Hurt, Jr., Harold Grayson, Spencer Davis, Edwin Wein- and. The mechanical staff was: Charles McCormick, printshop manager, Zelora Brown, William Medley, and Carline Perkins, assistants. The faculty advisors are: Miss Katherine Carr of the journalism and advertising, Mr. Field of the linotyping, and Mr. Vaughan of the printing departments. 141 Kathlelm Fitz Margaret Pierce Anna Trapnell William Hacker The Periclean Society was founded inf 1918, by the faculty. This society is chapter four of the California Scholarship Federation. Its charter mem- bership was 245. To be a member of this society, a student must have at least three A's and one B if carrying four solids. If less than four solids are taken, all A's are necessary. There are three different degrees of membership as shown by three pins. An owl pin signifies one term mernbershipg a Greek letter pin, two or more terms 5 and the Scholarship Federation pin is worn by those students who are Seniors and have been members of the Society at least four terms. This year a dance, a picnic, and a hike were enjoyed by the members. An assembly was also conducted in honor of the Periclean Society. The officers were: President: Kathleen Fitz.

Formerly it represented the Student Body as a whole, but it has become more exclusive, only the Upper Division now being honored by membership. Every graduate from the Los Angeles High School receives a Star and Crescent pin, which signifies that he is now a member of the great rank of alumni. Last term the program was very unusual. I Mr. William Lacy, President of the Chamber of Commerce, was presented with a Star and Crescent Pin. Marshal Stimpson, President of the Alumni, welcomed Mr. Lacy into the Society. Mr. Maynard McFie welcomed the class of Winter '25 into the Alumni As- sociation. A musical program was presented and then a successful dance crowned the day. The Society was successfully guided last term by: President: James Melton. Vice President: Elsa McAuliffe. Secretary: Lois Thorpe. Treasurer: Leslie Goddard. This term the Star and Crescent pins were presented by a group of Senior B girls to the Senior A class. Then a processioual marched over to the Memorial Park and a tree was planted. A dance in the Boys' and Girls' Gym was enjoyed by everyone. 145 I 1 1 Alfred Lazarus 5 John Langen Edward Sugar ' Murray Chotincr 1 Thomas Henry Leslie Goddard Elizabeth Gillespie 146 Debating Debating at L. A. High this year has been unusually successful, both IL the number of participants and the resultls obtained. L. A. has starred particu- larly in oratory, Chester Wiliams winning the Herad City Cup for Extempor- aneous Speaking. The first debate of the season was held by the Southern California Debat- ing League on November 21. The question was: Resolved, that the United States should own the oil resources of its territories and jurisdictions. Alfred Lazarus and Fred Shimer, upholding the aflirmative of the question for L. A., met Long Beach in our auditorium. The- next debate in the league was held at Pasadena High School on February 27. Alfred Lazarus and Tom Henry rep- resented L. A. on the negative of the question: Resolved, that the United States should abandon the principles of the Monroe Doctrine. Although both of the first two decisions were against our teams, the debates were very interesting, and our teams put up strong, well-balanced arguments. The final debate in the Southern California League was held at Santa Ana High School on April 23. The question was: Resolved, that the United States should own its hydro-electric power plants. Edward Sugar and Elizabeth Gillespie, representing L. A. on the aflirmative, scored a 2-1 victory over the Santa Ana team. On the same day a practice debate was held at L. A. with Santa Ana, where Norman Tyre and Leona Gerber, upholding the negative of the hydro-electric question also re- corded a 2-1 victory over Santa Ana. The first round of debates in the City League was held December 5. The question was: Resolved, that the president of the United States should be elected by the direct vote of the people. Our negative team met Franklin at L. A. and our affirmative team met Manual at Manual Arts. Gittelle Markowitz and John Langen comprised our affirmative team, While Robert Newman and Al- fred Lazarus upheld the negative for L. A., the latter substituting for Milton Klein, who was unfortunately taken ill a week before the debate. The second round of City League debates was held on May 13, on the question: Resolved. that the Japanese should be admitted to the United States on the same quota basis as Europeans. This debate was a double header against U. S. C. prep school. Tom Henry and Murray Chotiner upholding the affirmative at L. A. and Ed. Sugar and Leslie Goddard, arguing the negative at U. S. C. both scored unanimous decisions over the strong U. S. C. teams. Tom Henry substituted for John Langen who was quarantined at home. Murray Chotiner and Leslie God- dard were awarded first speaker in their respective debates. The final round of debates was held on May 29, the question being: Resolved, that Senator Ladd's policy of dollar diplomacy should be adopted by the United States. Our affirmative team. composed of Alfred Lazarus and John Langen met Franklin High at Franklin. Murray Chotiner and Leslie Goddard, upholding the negative for L. A., met Manual at L. A. L. A. has also been well represented in the various oratorical contests in Southern California. Chester Williams, representing L. A. in the Herald Ex- temporaneous contest, won the silver trophy for the school on March 6. The cup is ours for one year. Chester was also our representative in the Southern Cal- ifornia Oratorical contest held in Pasadena at the end of May. Charles Crail represented the school in the Constitutional Oratorical Contest, and was award- ed second place in the Southern California semi-finals. Our speaker in the forensics contest at Pomona was Murial Ansley. Jack Clarke was our orator in the Redlands Declamation contest held on May 16. Much credit is due Gittelle Markowitz who was L. A.'s delegate in the City League, and who was also president of that body. Murray Chotiner de- serves praise for the efficient manner in which he managed our teams. Murray was also president of the Southern California Debating League. Mr. Perry coached the Southern California teams, and the City League teams were coached by Miss Moore and Mr. Chambers. From this summary, the progress of debating in the school is evident. All our home debates were well supported, and a continuance of this support is expected and desired. At the time of printing our teams stand a chance of capturing the city title for the fourth time, and it has been partly due to the support given that the debaters have been able to do such work. May the support continue! 147 Alfred Lazarus Winifred Semmence Elizabeth Kilpatrick Sylvester Weaver The primary aim of the Forum Society is to encourage interest inn for- ensics. To further this aim the club devotes a certain part of each meeting to parliamentary drill. Extemporaneous debates form a part of the pro- grams and each term an Oratorical Contest is held. Another interesting feature which enables those inclined to argue to exhibit their talent is the semi-annual Mock Trial. X However, the club also devotes a. part of the time to the more literary pursuits of writing stories and poems. The Short Story and Poetry Contests proved very interesting and many worth while manuscripts were submitted. But lest this fare seem too intellectual when taken steadily, a ban- quet and a dance serve as contrasts. The banquet :furnishes practice for the members im making after-dinner speeches, while the dance provides still other opportunities. The oflicers were: President: Alfred Lazarus. Vice President: Winifred Semmence. Secretary: Elizabeth Kilpatrick. Treasurer: Sylvester Weaver. Sergeant-at-Arms: John Clark. 148 Elizabeth Main Alberta Williamson Jean Robertson Malvina Pozzo The Aristonian Literary Society was formed in 1914. Its purpose is to encourage literary talent and to further literary work. This term We studied modern authors. At each meeting a study was made of a certain writer, a sketch of his life, works, and a criticsm of his prose and poetry. We have had the honor of entertaining the new girls at a formal dinner, for the first time in the history of Los Angeles High School. This dinner took place at the home of Lydia Lamberton, and was voted by all a great success. The oflicers of our club were: President: Elizabeth Main. Vice President: Alberta. Williamson. Secretary: Jean Robertson. Treasurer: Malvina Pozzo. The members were: Maxine Abel, Dorothy Battey, Margaret Caroll, Josephine Catlin, Alice Cooper, Alice Cordray, Lucile Cusanovich, Kathleen Fitz, Margaret Glenn, Violet Graham, Ruth Mary Greene, Freda Mae Harvey, Virginia Krischbaum, Lydia Lamberton, Madeline Lamia, Elizabeth Main., Elizabeth McCadden, Malvina Pozzo, Margaret Ringer, Jean Robertson, Jane Rumbley, Sally Sedgwick, Pearl Sklar, Maryln Willard, and Alberta Williamson. 149 Victoria Schuck Bessie Porter Alma Gfrifin Merry Gay Pleasures of this club wie tell Happy hours together spent Initiation we know well Let us leave with minds content One meeting for the alumnae McGroarty with words did thrill All our guests from Poly High Talents ours the annual iill.

Later the two sectiogns united, forming one club limited to thiry members. This year has been a particularly successful one. We have studied modern poets and poetry under the able direction of Miss Snow' Longley, our sponsor, and the girls have read original poems and short stories at each meeting. Our social events this term included a formal initiation tea, given at the home of Margaret Mudgett, entertaining Penpointers of Hollywood, and a dance. The oilicers were: President: Dorothy Servis. Vice President: Christina Ballreich. Secretary: Patricia Bradley. Treasurer: Margaret Mudgett. The members were-1 Roberta Alberti, Helen Aldridge, Virginia Arnold, Alice Chapman, Rosamond Clarke, Doris Conner, Caroline Craft, Ethel Emerson, Ruth Gortikov, Sara Gray, Emily Hewitt, Dorothy Hill, Jeanne Kurtz, Ellen Linnscott, Betty Logan, Elizabeth Luttgen, Dixie Merrill, Ruth Paine, Betty Price, Elizabeth Priseler, Harriette Segall, Marian Shedd, Lois Thorpe, Helen Thomas, Marian Watson, and Jane Word. Faculty Sponsor: Miss Longley. 151 Everett Chapman Andrea Grossman Charleen Collins Ambrose Churchill The Pythean Society, a comparatively new organization, was formed ex- clusively for the students of the lower grades. The aim of the society is to further interest in literature, forensics, and music. No regular dues are charged but a merit system has been substituted. This term has been very fortunate for Pythean Society. Some ex- ceptional programs have been- presented anid a number of the memfbers have earned pins because of their excellent work in the society. The success of our society is largely due to our sponsors, Miss Snyder and Mrs. Hanna, who have given us their unfailing support. Oliicersz President: Everett Chapman. Vice President: Andrea Grossman. Secretary: Charleen Collins. Treasurer: Ambrose Churchill. The members were: Elmer Anderson, Carolyn Baker, Thelma Davidson, John Detler, David French, William Garland, Catherine Goldstone, Edward Gra- ham, Dorothy Guian, Harry Hay, John Huhn, Camille Linebaugh, Elizabeth Mar- quis, Hunter Nicholson, Miriam Palmer, David Priver, Wilson Sheton, Grace Sprague, Charlotte Wade, Vyvian Wilkinson, Theodore Weingand. 152 Leo Blackman Earl Barnett Harold Riselu John Isaacs The Bookstore has ended one of the most successful terms of its ex- istence, due to the hearty co-operation of the students. The present management has tried everything in its power to enable the students to obtain their supplies as reasonably as possible, and thus to become a help and convenience to the students. The Bookstore not only handles the immediate needs of the students in the way of school supplies, but carries a complete stock of school jewelryg such as pins and rings, stationary, and athletic goods. The manager, Leo Blackman, has been ably assisted by Earl Barnett, Harold Risely, and John Isaacs. 153 Mrs. West G Harry Onions Florence Zezgler The cafeteria is one of the organizations at L. A. which the hand of pro gress has struck most graciously. Back in 1906 the first cafeteria meal was served to 150 students. A large classroom comprised the students' dining room, while the faculty was served in an adjoiniing tent. In the kitchen three women prepared the food, and one of these women is still with the present staff. When the new school was built, arrangements were not made for a cafeteria to be opened with the rest of the plant. How- ever, meals Were cooked in the engine room, and served in the main building, in connection with the Home Economics Department. In the fall of 1917, the present building was opened under the supervision of Mrs. E. A, West, formerly of Manual Arts High School. Prior to this time all work was done by hand. There were no electric machines or devices to lighten the work, but gradually these things came. There were four lines when the cafeteria first began. The present Senior room was at that time used by the Junior College students and faculty. The Faculty room was Just a waste of space, and was known as a Forge room. At this time new improvements began to take place inf the kitchen. A large electric mixer, replaced a small power machine, and a new rfour tier oven was added to the bakery. In the Wash room, a modern dish Washer was put into service, as well as a new electric peeling machine. In the kitchen a large new resturant range was added to the equipment. These machines were all put into service to insure greater efficiency, speed, and economy of labor. The last and most expensive unit of equipment was the Frigidaire ice cream cooling system. Mrs. West is supervisor of the cafeteria, Harry Onions is the Student Body Manager, and Horace Pratt, E. Hamilton, and F. Bishop are assistants to Mrs. West and the Manager. 154 Bessie Franklin Christy Specht The Lost and Found Department with the co-operation of all the students has been successful this term in returning many lost articles. At the end of the term all pens, pencils, books, jewelry, and other things not claimed are sold. The unclaimed clothing is given to the Santa Fe school children. This department also has charge of the hall lockers. The Lost and Found was efliciently managed this term by: Malmagerz Bessie Franklin. First Assistant: Christy Specht. The other members of the staff were: Wallace Worsley, Andrefa Gross- man, Dora. Woods, Floris Byrd, Martha Stidham, Robert Scliallenberger, and Kate Corbaley. s 155 1 l ' W' V Kirby Etter Sadie Robbins Victoria Schuck Roy Cohn The Nuntius or Messenger is an eight page paper, two pages of which are in Latin, published semi-monthly by the students of the classical department umder the supervision of Dr. W. A. Edwards. It was founded nine terms ago and has now grown to be the most widespread publication of L. A., having a long list of subscribers in all parts of the United States. Some of the features of the Nuntius are stories, poems, jokes. and car- toons, the purpose of which is to show the practicability of Latin at the present day, to give a deeper insight into the life of the ancients, and to inspire interest and enthusiasm in the classics. The staff of this term: Editor-in-chief: Kirby Etter. Assistant Editors: Victoria Schuck, Sadie Robbins. Business Manager: Roy Cohn. A 156 I I I John Prescott James McCormick Bertha Haikin Dorothy Dutcher Frances Adams Elizabeth Gillespie The Latin Cabinet, the oflicial board of the Classical Department, has passed a second successful year. The Cabinet gave the play of the semester, Out of the Sea. This comedy was an adaptation of Rudens of Plautus, and was translated into high school English by the students of the upper Latin classes. The members of the Cabinet were: John Prescott, chairman. Dorothy Dutcher James McCormick Bertha Haikin Elizabeth Gillespie. Frances Adams ' 157 Vernon Barrett Marion Shedd Betty Nur Harold Grayson The Science club, in the second term of its organization, is perhaps the largest club in L. A. Its membership is composed of all students in the Physics and Chemistry departments. The officers have worked toward fewer but better meetings, and to this end have brought noteworthy speakers, pictures and demonstration before L. A. students. The Governing Council of the club is composed of representatives from each Physics and Chemistry class, together with the officers. These repre- sentatives, otficers, and all those who take part in programs, are eligible for pins. Officers: President: Vernon Barrett. Vice President: Marion Shedd. . Secretary: Betty Nye. Treasurer: Harold Grayson. 158 Craig Crockard Anna Jutkowitz Henrietta Jolley Louis Hoefer The Botany Club is rapidly becoming one of the most popular clubs at L. A. The membership is limited to twenty, because a small group of this kind can accomplish more and have a better time than a larger one. This organization is for the promiotion of interest in the study of nature and for social intercourse. During the semester the members go on hikes and excursions where they may see more of the interesting life about us. The officers for this term were: President: Craig Crockard. Vice President: Anna Jutkowitz. Secretary: Henrietta Jolley. Treasurer: Louis Hoeffer. Faculty Sponsor: Miss Palmer. The members of the Botany Club this term Were: Dwight Babcock, Glen McC0mas, Norman Roybark, Mary Firmin, Helen Johnson, Paul Nelson, Eileen O'Brien, Helen Keays, Hazel Spencer, and Jean Taylor. 159 , ,4 I f x , . . . CINEMA CLUB The Cinema Club of Los Angeles High School was organized five terms ago, but the constitution was not adopted until the following term. To create a desire among the students of the school for more wholesome pictures, to promote a better spirit towards educational films: to present to those students who are desirous of increasing their knowledge of this work an opportunity to study it thoroughly: and to show the student body that the Motion Picture Projection course of this school is beneticial to the welfare of the school both morally and socially-these constitute the purpose of the Club. Since the existence of the Club, with the exception of the past year, a program of sixteen pictures presented annually, has been carried out. During the past term three pictures have been presented. The first pre- sentation was Richard Barthlemess in Classmates, the second was Buster Keaton in The Navigator, and the last was Douglas McLean in The Yankee Consul. The officers of the club were: President: Eugene Elms. Faculty Sponsor: Mr. Doebler. Vice President: Dick Slusher. Secretary: Goldie Stone. Treasurer: James White. The members of the club were: 5 David Bell, Cardell Bishop, Charlotte Blakney, Evans Briegleb, Orlynn Dillon, John Eckes, Joe Edmistion, Eugene Elms, Charles Flint, Jack Hanrahan, Simmon Kimmel, Bill Mabee, Arthur Redmond, Millard Rogers, Fred Shimer, Dick Slusher, Goldie Stone, Barton Thompson, James White. 160 f .

Too much credit cannot be given to the girls for their fine work in keeping the buildings and campus in good order. This committee was started many semesters ago under the supervision of Mr. Paxton. Louise Piper was chairman this term, with Ruth Wilcek and Clara Robles as assistants. Her efficient workers were: Velma Fitch, Edith Emery, Hariett Black, Ruth Vincent, Mary Virginia Harris, Martha Russell, Mildred Fisher, Ruth Stevenson, Louise Lakin, Helen Roberts, Martha Allen, Vaudine Collins, Grace Randall, Helen Plum, Esther Beer, Ruth Meiselman, Olive Anderson, Mary Poulton, Venice West, Florence Bristol, Minna Green, Jessie Kellner, Mildred Bricker, Mildred Johnson, and Madelyn Kliban. 162 9 l 9 Boys House and Grounds The Boys' House and Grounds successfully completed the term with a record heretotore unrealized, that of keeping the front campus absolutely void of papers, and the rule declaring it unlawful to eat lunches in the front yard was more rigidly enforced than before. The officers for this term were: President: Hal Mac Rae. Vice President: Bill Horton. Secretary: Don Flickinger. Treasurer: Morris Koeberle. The members included: Charles Eskridge, Joe Orloff, Jack Clark, John Risbough, Beeler Gerstenkorn, XYilton Main, Milton Maharam, Harold Stock, George Huntington, Martin Blank, .lack Lyons, George Richards, and Ches- ter VVilliams. 163 ,a f i W N 1 N I N w 1 Girls' Glee Club The Girls' Glee Club has added one more term to its success under the leadership of Miss Wickes. All the girls are upper graders and the voices carefully selected so that the high standard of the club is never lowered. The purpose of the club is to study part songs for women's voices, and to learn the use of good tonnes and proper breath control. The spirit of friend- ship and co-operation is encouraged to its highest. ,This year the girls sang at an aud call, and with the Boys' Glee Club presented many numbers at Music Club meetings. The girls also sang for several churches of this city. White sweaters with the blue cleff were worn at all public appearances. A very successful dance was given at the Rampart Apartments, on Feb- ruary twenty-sevenlth by the club. The girls enjoyed a trip to Laguna Beach for a swim and dinner, on April seventh, as guests of Miss Wickes. The oliicers off' the term were: President: Margaret Brunner. Vice President: Helen Duncan.

The club is composed of the best male voices in school. The boys are divided into four groups, namely: first tenors, second tenors, first basses, and second basses. The club then learns four part songs which are ren- dered not only to the students of our school but to outside audiences. The Club Went on a tour to several towns in the Citrus District, sang over the radio, and gave numerous coonfcerts. The constant aim has been good fellowship, pleasant work, and a high standard of music. The best spirit is shown at all times, every one having entered heartily into all plans. The good work accomplished is due mainly to the constant efforts olf the director, Miss Blythe, and to the accompanist, Miss Elsa McAuliffe. The oflicers were: President: Jack Armstrong. Manager: Victor Gottschalk. Assistant Manager: Bill De Ford. Librarian: Kenneth Young. Assistant Librarian: Frank Dyer. Accompanist: Elsa McAuliffe.

Many visitors to the school have commented on the excellent work of this organization, and invitations to play on programs outside of school have given the Orchestra a chance to win new laurels, and bring credit to L. A. High. The success of the Orchestra is due, not alone to the Hne talent of the students, but to the able direction of Miss Verna C. Blythe and her assistant, Mrs. Lena Moon Morgan.

AJ for the purpose of establishing and maintaining high standards of Christian character through- out the school and community. Every Thursday evening, the members meet with the combined clubs of the other city schools for dinner, a program, and a discussion. At these meetings, some topic is assigned to a member of the city Hi-Y's on which he speaks to the assembled clubs of the different schools. Afterwards, an open forum is held on the subject under discussion, and many interesting discussions result. Following the combined meeting, the L. A. club meets in its own club rooms for a business meeting, and after adjournment, the members are privileged to take a swim. Outside of these, the Club engages in many other activities, such as furnishing Thankgiving and Christmas baskets for families less fortun- ate than their own, and the supervision of play grounds on one evening a week. This term has been one of the most successful since the Club was start- ed, due to the able leadership of the oificers and the hearty cooperation of the thirty members. The officers for the past term were: President: Monty Livermore. Vice President: Rafael Gonzalez. Secretary: William Post. Treasurer: James Grant. Sergeant-at-arms: Bill Alexander. Besides these, the membership consists of: Bernard Siegloff, Herman Bak- er, Robert Wilson, Rafael Gonzalez, Dick Foster, Bill Berg, and Paul Holland. 17D Alice Calwell Martha Hughes G. A. A.

The club is composed of all the officers and non-commissioned officers of the Unit and Band, there being fifty-five members this term. At the regular business meetings of the club new ideas for the betterment of the R. O. T. C. are considered, and its work discussed in general. A new pin design was adopted this term, supplanting the former shield pin. During Easter vacation members of the Club, accompanied by Sergeant Charles, went on a hike to the mountainous regions back of Mount Lowe. The hike lasted four days and a. total of nfty-seven miles was covered. The route taken was by way of Alpine Tavern, Pine Flats, and Chilao to Horse Flats and return. The semi-annual military dance was given May 23rd in the girls' gym- nasium and declared a huge success by all, as there were more than one hun- dred couples in attendance. The officers of the Club this term were: President: Major Harold M. Duncan. Vice President: Sergeant Warren Wilson. Secretary: First Lieutenant Wilson Whitely. Treasurer: Second Lieutenant John Kunkle. 176 s M ' i. hui-L55 NA UWMX fx, xg 311,-'iff LLL K Q , L L L f ,4Q.L'fLfL',f sw- Lnwiifs, . L , L - L .

A better spirit of co-operation and service has been brought about between the school and the Unit. Through the combined eiorts of Mr. Oliver, Colonel Mudgettl and student officers in influencing new Junior High and tenth grade students to join, the enrollment was increased to well over the required quota of two hundred Cadets, making our Unit eligible to compete in May for Honor School, an' honorary title given to the thirteen honor schools throughout the United States. The outstanding event of the term was the presentation of ninety-three first, second, and third year certificates by Colonel Clark, head of the R. O. T. C- in the L. A. City High Schools. In commending the Unit upon this notable achievement, he urged that such a worthy record be an incentive toward future honors. Much credit is due to Colonel Mudgett and the commissioned officers for the thoroughness of preparation, the interest taken, and the spirit in 'which the certificates were earned. Graduation credit is given for those completing the second and third year courses, thus encouraging the Cadets to make a greater effort with that end in view. A feature of the military work this term has been the cits day. On Friday of each week uniforms are laid aside, civilian clothes being the order of the day. Organized games including tug-o-war, relay races, and in- door baseball are enjoyed by officers and privates alike, mingling together in a spirit of friendliness and good will. In the available moments of the period, instruction in the automatic rifle assembly and tent pitching is given those eager to become familiar with subjects not regularly taken up in the daily schedule. In the past it has been the ambition of the Cadet officers to carry sabers, but not until this term has it become a reality, for Colonel Mudgett ordered them direct from the arsenal at Frankford, Pennsylvania. They are used during regular drill periods and on ceremonial occasions, and have be- come permanent equipment for the present and future ofiicers. The Band this term is considered by all to be the best in many years, being a great aid and factor in the prefect performance of the Cadet at ceremo- nies. Under the able direction of Mr. Toolan it has rendered concerts at numerous social events, among them one given at the First Methodist Epis- copal Church, and another at the City Club Banquet of the Association of the Army of the United States. Favorable comment has been made upon the accomplishments and the excellence of its work this term. The Unit also took complete charge of the ushering at track meets, base- ball games, assemblies, and entertainments of the school. Due to a new ruling of the batallion commander only officers and sergeants could serve as ushers. Each ten weeks proficiency medals, based on excellence of work during the term together with theoretical and practical examinations, are awarded to the most proficient in his respective class. For the first ten weeks the winners were as follows: Commissioned Officers: Captain Vernon Barrett, Co. B -Bronze Medal No. 33. Non-Commissioned Officers: . First Sergeant Blakeslee Smith, Co. B -Silver Medal No. 5. Q Corporal Weldon Butterworth, Co. B -Bronze Medal No. 34. Corporal Errett Hamilton, Band-Bronze Medal No. 35. Privates with more than one semester's training: Private Horace Pratt, Co. A -Bronze Medal No. 36. Privates with less than one semester's training: Private Akely Quirk, Co. B -Bronze Medal No. 37. A field day, the platoon competition, military aud call, Oliver Medal Com- petition, and the presentation of commissions and warrants marked the ter- mination of the military activities this term. 178 Captain Fred Davies Chief Musician Joel Butler Captain Vernon Barrett Ist Lieutenant Withenbury Lyster Isl Lieutenant Freeman Ambrose 2nd Lieutenant Robert Skaggs Ist Licuctnant Arthur Curtis Hurt 2nd Lieutenant Donald Smith 2nd Lieutenant John Kunkel 2nd Lieutenant Joe Keller 179 MPANY A CO COMPAN Y H BAND BATALLION ROSTER STAFF Major: Harold Duncan.

' afaiggg A 'gl wwf' -,-,-,M - Militar History For many years L. A. has had a military organization. It Iirst took the form of a group of boys known as the High School Cadets. This organization was started in 1905 as a substitute for reguler physical training. It grew very rapidly having a good sized company in less than three years. In 1910 the organization received formal recognition from the Board of Education and became a regular department of the school. This served as a great impetus and resulted in the forming of two companies instead of only one as formerly. The cadets in all the schools were given a big boost a few years later when the state, recognizing the value of such training, appropriated five thousand dollars for the work. One of the big military events of each term used to be the officers, and non-commissioned officers' banquet held every term, to which many prominent citizens as well as former oHicers were invited. Another interesting event used to be the company competitive drill which was held semi-annually. The Oliver Medal Competition which was started Very early in the history of the organization by Mr. Oliver who for many years was it's commandant, never failed to arouse great interest. When L. A. moved from the old building on the hill to her present lo- cation, a great change took place in the military department. The old organ- ization of about two hundred cadets was changed into a Reserve Officers' Train- ing Corps regiment with an enlistment of tive hundred students. This new organization was placed under' the charge of Mr. C. P. Lyon who left L. A. only last term. At this time, the L. Al High School R. O. T. C. was consid- ered the most efficient of all high school military ogranizations in the state. Major Lyon was succeeded in 1920 by Major Ball under whose efficient leadership the organization grew into two batallions of four companies each Colonel Mudgett was the next commandant and has remained in this capacity up to the present time. 185 4 I ACI-11.eC1c:5 Don Moses Al Bonner This is the end of the seventh successful year of the Big L. A. Society. This society was organized ini the summer term of 1918 with the purpose of creating more interest in athletics. The membership consists of the letter- men of the four major sports, Baseball, Football, Track and Basketball. The annual baseball game between the members of the club and the faculty is one of the biggest events. The Big L. A. banquet at the end of the term is the big feature of the season. It is always well attended and is given for all the members of the organization. Plans for the ensuing semester are discussed. In ad- dition tol the new officers of the society the two major spfort captains for the next semester are elected. The officers: President: Don Moses. Vice President: Lester Berry. Secretary and Treasurer: Al Bonner. The active members are: Louie Almada, Lester Berry, Cardell Bishop, Al. Bonner, Bud Breer, Myers Butte, Al Cramer, Walter Cushing, Jack Dales, Gilbert Edwards, Ben Gorchakoff, Joe Grimes, Merrill Hallock, Bill Horton, Eber Jacques, Phil Kerr, Arthur Kussman, Ralph Layne, Louie Leppe, Louie Lombardi, Jack Lyons, Earl Mathis, Julius May, Jim Melton, Dick McKey, Don Moses, John O'Brien, Lee Prendergast, Jim Rasor, Melvin Reed, Millard Rogers, Theo Smith, Fred Sturdy, Al Sunseri, Tom Tate, Francis Tappaan, Phil Tennis, Dick Tupper. 188 ,ng Q Track - With several lettermen returning from last year's team prospects for track were bright at the beginning of the season. Edmund Rich, the new coach, proved to be a, real go-getter and set about building up a strong team at once, The track wagxizgtre lly worked over and put into perfect condition and a new spirit see ilhave taken possession of the field. Our first meet, with Jefferson, was an erwhelming victory for L. A. The next meet, with the powerful Hollywood team, was a hard meet to lose, but Hollywood's stars and the breaks were too much for our team. The third meet, with Poly, added another notch to L. A.'s long line of victories over her ancient rival. Fran- klin was overwhelmed by a large score and the stage was set for Manual. This meet proved to be the best of the season and finally ended in a victory for Manua1's City Championship squad. Although getting only fourth in the City due to a dearth of individual stars our team was a powerful dual meet team and very well balanced. With several of the best men returning next year the chances seem bright for one of the best teams in recent years. SUMMARY L, A. 95-Jefferson 18. L. A. 44-Hollywood 69. L A. 65 1-2-Poly 47 1-2. L. A. 77-Franklin 36. L. A. 43 2-3-Manual 69 1-3. 189 Q 1 ,L 'il , .gm M Kali? L CAPTAIN MELVIN REED Shot and Discus Pot, our hefty captain could be counted on for a Iirst or second in both shot and discus in practically ev- ery meet. He was high point man for the L. A. team and second highest in the city. It will be hard to replace Reed when he leaves us next fall. W ALEX GILL Hurdles and High Jump Alex could always be counted on for points in every meet. He usually got a first in the high hurdles or high jump and often in both. We lose Gill this year and with him go sev- eral points. 5 GEORGE CUTH BERT 880 and Mile With an inexhaustible supply of stamina and a seven league stride, George placed in both 880 and mile in nearly every meet. George also graduates in June. JACK DALES 440 Little Johnny, for the second consecutive year, prov- ed to be one of the best quarter-milers in the city. His de- feat in the city meet of men who had beaten him in dual meets was on of the high points of the season. Jack grad- uates this June. 191 CAMERON MULLARD 880 Laddie was our best 880 man this year and grab- bed off points in every meet. His pluck, fight, and good condition helped him win many races. Mullard will leave quite a hole in next year's track squad by his graduation. PARKER WILBUR Pole Vault Parker was the best of our pole vaulters this year and was a cinch , for a place in every meet. He did N ll' 6 several times during the season which isn't to be sneezed at for high school teams. Parker graduates this June. DONNELLY EMBREE High Hurdles Don was another of our good hurdlers and with Gill could be count- ed on for points in nearly every meet. Don leaves us this June. HAROLD STOCK 440 Buster improved in every meet and did not really hi his stride until the last of the season. With another year of competition ahead of him Buster should clip off some good times before the end of next season. 192 JACK LYONS Mile Jack was the best miler in the city this year. He won every race he entered and also placed in the 880 when more points were needed. Jack will be heard from in col- lege according to all indications. ALBERT PEERS HAI was one of the city's best broadjumpers this year and he and Sullivan finished 1-2 in practically every meet. Hard work and cease- less effort combined with strict train- ing made Al a real star, fs 0 EMMETT HAYWORTH Mile Emmett ran the mile this year anfl place high in every meet. Emmett has two more years at L. A. be- fore he graduates, and he should be one oi' the best milers in the city. i i i ,Liv EDDIE SULLIVAN .Broad Jump and Sprints i'Duke was without a doubt one of the best broad- jumpers in the city this year. An unknown quantity at the first of the season, Ed. soon became feared throughout the city. His best jump was a mere leap of 22 ft. 2 in. He should be even better next year and no doubt will bring many points to L. A. 193 b SELLERS SMITH Low Hurdles Smithy was one of the smallest men on the team and also one of the best. A sure point winner in every meet, and a place in the city was Sellers' record this year. Next year he should be even better and ought to be a star. JAMES HART Sprints Jimmie was another one of our good sprinters this year and earned sev- eral points for L. A. Hart should be even better next year and will rank near the top of the list of sprint stars. JEROME STEWART Pole Vault Jerry was one of our several good pole vaulters and placed high through- lout the season. Great things are ex- pected of him next year. BILL HORTON 880 Bill was our 880 king last year but sickness at the start of this season prevented him from doing his best work. Bill began his comeback in the City meet and should be our best 880 man again next year. 194 EM MANUAL THOMSEN Tommy deserves a great deal of credit for his work on the track- He was out every day and worked late in order to keep the track in good condition for the team. If all the managers are as faithful as Tommy L. A.'s track will continue to be one of the best in the city for many years to come. PAUL MUNOZ Low Hurdles Paul was another of our small but efficient hurdlers. He and Smith finished first in nearly every meet of the season. He returns next year. HAT1' I I 6 f ' Track Manager 195 On the not a great man on the events than Some of Cupit, Ring, in breaking broad jump. Class ' 'CH Track whole our class C track season was a success. There were many qualifying under the 56 required points, but almost every team was a point winner. We proved to be stronger in the held on the track. our point winners in dual meets were Grossman, Cherniss, Nakano, Marks, and MacConaghy. In the City Meet Grossman succeeded the Class C shot put record and in tying for second in the Marks placed in the hurdles and MacConaghy in the pole vault. The squad was coached by Coach Goodenough who was assisted by Phil Tennis. Bill Harris was the hard working manager. The following are the scores for the past season. L. A. 31-Hollywood 37. L. A. 45--Franklin 23. L. A. 32-Poly 36. L. A. 25-Manual 43. L. A. 30-Glendale 38. l96 Baseball This baseball season opened with a very bright outlook. Eight lettermen were returning, several of them all-city men. Among them were the three pitchers who had made fine records the season before. VVhen the season opened, L. A. had a heavy-hitting, experienced team and everything seemed bright for a championship. The first game, with Frank- lin ,was an overwhelming victory for L. A. The team showed great strength in both fielding and batting and gave promise of great power. At the time of this writing all indications point toward a city championship team and the team next year should also be a strong one has there will be several lettermen back. Summary to date: L. A. 17-Franklin 2. L. A. 4-Lincoln 1. L. A. 6-Manual 1. L. A. 16-Hollywood 4. 197 'svn fix ?' CAPTAIN LOMBARDI, OUTFIELDER This was Louie's second year on the team and he cer- tainly came through with the goods. He was one of the best center fielders in the city and caught everything in his locality without an error. He could also hit with the best of them which means quite a bit as every man on the team was dangerous with a bat. Louie has another year of baseball and should go well again next year. DICK MCKEY, OUTFIELDER Dick was the second best batter in the city last year and he hit with the best of them again tlris year. He was also an excellent fielder. Dick will not return next year. if X X Wt EDDIE ARNOLD, FIRST BASE . This was Arnold's first year on the beam but he showed his ability from the' first and made quite a name for himself as a slugger. Eddie has two more years of baseball. COACH WHITE Coach White coached baseball again this year and the team is a good example of what he can do. He im- parted some of his own fire and pep to everyone on the team and was chiefly responsible for the teams suc- cess. He will coach baseball again next year which means we will have another fighting bunch in L. A. uniforms. i I 198 LESTER BERRY, CATCHER Dink has finished three years of varsity baseball for L. A. and is without a doubt the best catcher L. A. ever had. The college that gets him will surely be lucky. H' will leave a mighty big ole in ext yea is team. AL BONNER, PITCHER Al was the third member of our pitching staff and twirled good ball whenever he was in the box. A1 Will be back next year. V JOE FAULKNER, SECOND BASE Joe was another newcomer, but he soon made quite a name for himself. He could field and hit with the best of them. Faulkner returns next year. J LOUIE ALMADA, PITCHER Louie was another of last year's veterans and was wihout a doubt the best pitcher in the city. He was also a dangerous man with a bat, being one of the best hitters in the city- Louie returns next year. 199 RALPH NEFF, FIRSTiBASE AL CRAMER, SHORTSTOP Al. was another of our veterans from last year's team who helped make this year's team such a good one. He was one of the best fielders on the squad and wasalso a consistent hitter. Al graduates this June. CU RTIS FAY, OUTFI ELDER Curtis came from the East last yes ' and soon made himself popular. His arnest efforts and his hard work. gain 1 him a place on the squad and he 0 n made his way to the top. x 1 Ralph also played Hrst this year and f was a consistent fielder and batter. i Ralph worked hard and fought his way up. He leaves in June. This was Tuffy's second year on the team, and un- luokily his last. His natural ability and pep made him the best third-sacker in the city. NVe surely hate to see Ralph leave us. RALPH LAYNE, THIRD BASE 200 K Frank did not play regularly this year, but whenever a I good utliity man was needed he ably filled the position ' Frank will return next year and should secure a regular berth. JOE GRIMES, PITCHER AND OUTFIELDER Joe made his letter last year and helped strengthen this year's team by his all-around good playing. When Joe was not needed as a pitcher he was used in the outfield be- cause of his ability, Joe has another year. BEN MILLER, MANAGER Ben was the manager this year and it was due to his hard work that the field was kept in such good condition. FRANK HORGAN, INFIELD I 201 v N Ilrw Gorr-halroff Mr. Mzmsryf Art Kussmfm 1 4 I Javlc Phillips Rex Gooclcell 202 TENNIS Under the superior coaching of Mr. R. E. Munsey, L. A. was represented again with an exceptionally strong tennis team. Although at the time of writing the city league had not begun, many important practice matches Were scheduled. Statistics show that out of 25 yearly tournaments at Ojai Valley, L. A. has finished 17 times, either as winner or runner-up, while in doubles L. A. has won eleven, and was runner-up five times. Although L. A. had three veterans around which the team was built, many of those who made the first ten rankings in L A. Were lower-graders and will be the mainstay of the future tennis teams. During the season, William Tilden II, national tennis champion, played an exhibition match at L. A. against Tom Ferrandi, local Southern California star. Tilden also played an exhibition game with the whole boys' varsity tennis team at one time in a novel game. With the exception of Art Kussman, everyone on the team has played for L. A. two years. As tennis manager, Wilton Maine deserves much credit for his hard work. Plenty of practice was given the team throughout the year, and this is credited to the tennis manager. As usual, L. A. entered representatives in the Ojai Championships, Kussman and Gorchakoff representing L. A. this year. SU MMARY OF MATCHES L. A. 17-Glendale 0. L. A. 17-Harvard Academy 0. L. A. 17-Venice 0. L.

Jack Phillips, Fourth man. Wilton Maine, Tennis Manager. 203 WATER POLO With the able captaincy of Tom Henry, veteran swimmer of two years' standing, the water polo team enjoyed a thoroughly successful season. Most noteworthy of the team's feats was the capturing of the city title. However, L. A. was not satisiied and went furthur on to tie for the Southern California championship. Out of the four games played, L. A. lost but one encounter, winning the remaining games comparatively easily. The team deserves the congratulations of the school for its hard work and success. Thanks are due Mr. Cady, of the Y. M. C. A. for his aid in coaching the team. SUMMARY 'OF GAMES L. A. 7-Huntington Park 0. L .A. 7-Venice 0. L. A. 1-Pasadena 6. L. A. 3-Hollywood 2. Team: Ralph Alexander, Bob Scellars, Andrew Fesler, Henry Chapellet, Joe Di Giorgio, Walt Cushing, Phil Moffat, Tom Henry, Captain. 204' GOLF Among the biggest surprises of the term was the acquisition of the South- ern California Golf Championship by the L. A. team. Mr. Noble, coach, cer- tainly deserves much credit for building up such a powerful team with only two lettermen rettrning at the beginning of the season. L. A. opened the golf season against Hollywood, but the match resulted in a tie. However, both L. A. and Hollywood danced through the city league, winning all their remain- ing games. In a playoff for the title L. A. defeated Hollywood 3-0. After this victory L. A. took Fairfax and Belmont into camp by decisive scores of 5-0. Manual and Santa Monica fell before the L. A. teams by the same scores, while Long Beach was defeated by a score of 3 to 1. The team deserves much credit and the scholol wishes to congratulate the members on their decisive success of the season. Team: A Allen Moser: First man. Lee Prendergass: Second man.

Our idea of the meanest man on earth is the barber who puts hair res- torer in his shaving cream. WITH OUR ADVERTISERS It was Wednesday, the day for raisin bread. He was worried, for he knew that since one thousand men voted on what millions wanted most in shaving cream there was no longer an excuse for a dingy film on the teeth. Although he knew it was much better than the average ten cent smoke he wondered which one of the fifty-seven varieties to buy. As he walked across McCall St. he insinctively jumped out of the way of the world's finest automobile before he realized that no metal could touch him. That worried look increased and he told himself that he could use the extra fifty dollars a month and wondered it after all good oil wasn't cheaper. As he entered the office he caught a glimpse of himself in the hall mirror and was convinced that after all clothes do make the man. But, alas, the insidious part of it was that not even his closest friend would tell him3 yet he was certain that if he wore his garters around his neck he would change them oftener.

Never had it rained so since the flood, for in fact it was pouring down in torrents. Cold beads of perspiration stood out on his head, he shivered, and very rightly he should tremble. He had killed her. She who had been his friend, his ideal, was now dead and the rain dripped or rather poured off her motionless and silent form. She who had labored day and night that he might prosper and enjoy the better things of life. At last he sighed wearily as he thought of all she had done for him.
