IAKBCTPICONTEWTS) ALMA MATER FACULTY STUDENT CLASSES SENIOR A SENIOR B ALUMNI LITERARY ORGANIZATION PUBLICATIONS MILITARY CLUBS MUSIC ATHLETICS FOOTBALL BASKETBALL HUMOR r FACULTTY News of Principal Emeritus Housh About fifty thouand persons in the city of Los Angeles are of the opinion that Los Angeles High School was very fortunate in having a man of vision, personality, and integrity as Principal— our fine fiiend. Mr. W. H. Housh. In the last thirty-one years, the first opportunity to do something personal for Mr. Housh was enthusiastically ac- complished by faculty, undergraduates and alumni, and the unprecedented Housh Around-the-World voyage was contemplated and so happily consummated that at this wilting Mr. Housh is surrounded by Chinese bandits somewhere between Shanghai and Peking, and is getting a much-needed rest. Our genial former principal sailed from Los Angeles harbor on the S. S. President Polk, 2 o ' clock, August 25, 1925. At San Francisco the Palace Hotel made of him a personal guest, and Will Webster (Winter ' 99), saw to it that nothing was lacking. Marvin McKenzie (AVinter ' 99), introduced him to a musical comedy. Dr. Morrison (S ' 07), led him into a .iewelry store and as a parting gift presen ted Mr. Housh with a diamond Masonic pin. Messrs. Webster and McKenzie and Miss Leviele (one time faculty), pushed the boat away from the dock en route to Honolulu. At Honolulu alumni kidnapped Mr. Housh for the whole time of his stay, and he enjoyed it. In Japan, Japanese graduates of our school entertained him in the usual high school way- wonderful. In China, wonderful visit and wonderful high school alumni, but a military campaign for presidency by three or four ambitious leaders apparently has caused a loss of six weeks ' time, which was turned into a much needed rest, and all is well. From now on it is overland through India, visiting Rabinadrath Tagore, Taj Mahal, Bombav to Cairo, thence two month in Europe via Holy Land, Athens, and Rome. He will be the guest of the government of France at L ' Opera at Paris. Homeward via New York, Havana and Panama Canal, he will probably arrive home April, 1926— a home where he knows without question that there are thousands who love and respect this man, who has lieen a wonderful leader and a high moral constructive force for the whole community. The executive committee delegated to carry out the idea consisted of Hairy H. Baskerville COO); Benjamin Harwood ( ' 00), and Sam L. Kreider ( ' 99). chairman, and it was their privilege, through the name of Mr. Housh, to reopen hundreds of school friendships. SAM L. KREIDER. f; Imerilus Huiish Message of Our Principal To the Members of the Winter Class ot ' 26: During your Senior A semester a number of proposed improvements have actually started. The Memorial Park, paid for by the Student Body and turned over to the City, is now being graded and planted, through the interest and efforts of the Park Commission. The old bleachers, for many years inadequate to our needs, are being reconstructed and when completed will have a seating capacity of approximately 7,000. With the ad- dition of temporary bleachers on the east side of the field, the school will be able to take care of nearly 10,000 spectators at our big athletic contests. Another improvement of big value to the school — the addition of a third story to each of the south wings of the building was begun during the latter part of Dec- ember, and will be completed durng the next semester. This addition will complete the architectural plan of the central building. A notable part of the addition on the east wing will be a Music Auditorium seating about 300, with a stage large enough to ac- comodate the combined Glee Clubs. During the semester you have been leaders in carrying out the program of the school toward an increased efficiency in scholarship and student government. Yours has been a semester of special accomplishment along athletic lines. After two years tying for the City Championshp in football you had the very high honor of leading the school to a City Championship. The game was brilliantly played and the team was wonderfully supported by the student body, the faculty, and the alumni. Also, you have led the school in the very happy work of brniging help to the high school of our brave sister city, Santa Barbara. Finally, thi-ough your leadership, the school has had a banner year in bringing gladness and thanksgiving into the hearts of the kiddies of our Santa Fe School. This leadership which you have shown in such good measure will be of big bene- fit to you in the business and professional world. Because you have received so much form the old Pioneer School may you realize that your responsibility is great to give to the world the best that is within you in ideas, in sholarship, in leadership, in integrity, and in citizenship. From your sincere friend, E. W. Oliver. Miss Wolverton s Message December 11, 1925. To the Girls and Boys of Winter Twenty-Six: On Chaldean plains the wise men trod a world o ' er-swept with starry constella- tions, charting the sky, foretelling the planet ' s path, warning a fear-bowed people of the dark of a dread eclipse. Great Socrates paced the sunlit streets of Athens probing for truTli within the minds and hearts of his young comrade followers. On a poppy- crimsoned chalk-cliff of the Loire. Saint Martin drew to himself the eager students of the Middle Ages, to pore upon great volumes of magic manuscripts, heavy with the liv- ing thoughts of Greeks and Romans whose brains had long ago been a drift of for- gotten dust. Great Doctor Millikin, in the confused uncertain years of this Twentieth Century, follows the secret of a ray of light almost beyond the path of though, and newly reads the laws by which our sun and all the stars must turn. Since Time was hid so far in misty distance as to seem Eternity, man was held, imbedded deep as the instinct of worship, nay, one with worship, the urge for the search for truth, the instinct of the student. May we all keep alive this divine flame, knowing that science consists in thinking God ' s thoughts after him. that only in the knowledge of the truth can man be free. In sincerity, your friend. SARAH FOSS WOLVERTON. Mr. Noble ' s Message To the Class of Winter Twenty-Six: Almost every day we are reminded by visitors and others, whose business hap- pens to bring them to this building, of the wonderful advantages the present day ' ligh schoolschool students have over their predecessors. Not only is this true in regard to our physical equipment, such as buildings. laboratories, gymnasiums, etc.. but also in the many different courses offered, so that students are equipped with all the facts necessary to go on to college or to take their places in the business world. As far as we are concerned the Progress of Student Life at L. A. is at its zenith. However, we all realize that knowledge of facts does not make a successful man. There is something else needed to complete his equipment. His diploma from high school should be a guarantee of morality and good citizenship, as well as a good record of achievement in History. English, and Mathematics. A prominent college authority says that Practically every failure in college freshman classes can be traced to some weakness in character, not to the lack of know- ledge on the part of the freshman. Our high schools, then, must strive to make our recommedations — recommendations in something more than ability to get A ' s and B ' s in a subject. We must devise some measure of character and ideals, so that we can confidently send our students to meet the many problems of the college or business world. We think we have made a start along this line in our Merit System, and our grades in Citizenship. We ask the help of our students and graduates to per- fect and improve our tools of measurement. Only in this way can we be sure that our product is equipped to make the vital decisions that are bound to present themselves. Sincerely, your friend, Ralph C. Noble.

Kate tf r a BLUE WHITE Fellow Students: This term of W ' 26, through our athletic success, through our victories in dramatic and oratorical work, and in other lines of school activities, has been one of pleasure for all the students of the school. Our triumphs should be taken only as a stepping stone for greater achievements. May the victories of this term give us a foundation for years of honors that will more firmly establish the fact that L. A. High is a school that deserves recognition among the best in the country. My term as your president has been full of pleasure, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity that I have had. May you. through ever-increasing spirit and co-operation, be able to bring more honor to L. A. High, and uphold the name of a school that can ' t be beat. T i T i iiriiYir- (i t ra i tff- wiir i t i irn-fyi  «f ?rT i v«Ti i i- iii 7«mffi « i ' M i iii i iii  i «w ' «  « ' « « IDIVISION PRE My senior A term lias been the most enjoyable of any term that I have had at L. A. The members of the Girls ' Cabinet have cooperated in making it one of success and accomplishment. I appreciate the honor that it has been to serve you as your president and 1 only hope that next term ' s officers will be supported as well as this term ' s. Sincerely, Lois Thorpe. Graduation, after such a singularly successful year, brings with it happiness and regrets: happiness, to know that my last year at L. A. has been the most fruitful of my high school career; regret, that I have not done more for the school. 1 firmly be- lieve that the first year of every student ' s high school course is wasted through in- al)ility to adapt himself to the new life. It is my hope that your future executives will do more to mould this first and most plastic year into the right channels than I have been able to do. FORD HARRIS, Jr. HW WIN I 1 K 1916 IThouse of repsB 4i Marylyn Povi Robert Clarhi John Mathias The House of Representatives Is one of the most important organizations of the school. It consists of the president of each classroom and the officers of the school. Its purpose is to express the opinions of the Student Body trough its represen- tatives, in such a way that the affairs and business of the school, as tar as possible, may be conducted according to the desires of the majority. This year the first actual work was begun on the Memorial Park because of the efforts of Mr. Oliver and the House of Representatives. A subtracting and adding machine was purchased for Mr Benson ' s office with an appropriation from the school ' s funds. President: Alfred Lazarus. Vice Chairman: Robert Clarke. Secretary: Marylyn Powers. Seigeantat-arms: John Mathias. MANAGERS Few students realize the responsibility placed upon the Student Body Managers. It is their work to take care of the following activities: football, baseball, track, basket- ball, special assemblies, musicals, operas, motion pictures, charity drives, and other equally important activities. Tickets are sold for the foregoing events, and crowds are accommodated for the games and entertainments. The manager wishes to extend his thanks and appreciation to the classroom treas- urers for their co-operation this term, and also to the members of the R. O. T. C. for their willingness and efficiency in ushering, taking tickets, and guarding the field for all football games. The managers are: Head: George McCormack. Assistants: Roy Myers, Don MuUis. Lewis Crisler. iGIRLS CABIN Jean Karpaty The Girls ' Cabinet was organized to promote co-operation and better social rela- tionship among the girls of the school and to act as an advisory board to Miss Wolver- ton in matters pertaining to the girls of the Student Body. There are nine members of the cabinet, all of whom are elected by the preceeding cabinet, except the president, who, being the President of the Girls ' Division, auto- matically takes that position, according to the constitution. The officers for this term are: Pres.: Lois Thorpe Vice-pres.: Margaret Pierce. Sec ' y.: Jean Karpaty. Treas.: Eleanor Lapham.

The Board upholds, not only the rules, but the Ideals and traditions of the school. If every student respected the school motto, trials would not be necessary; however, if a girl willfully breaks a rule, she is brought before the Board for trial. She may de- fend herself; but if found guilty, she is given demerits. We have tried to promote the feeliiig of friendship between the Student Body and the Senior Board. Our motto is Noblesse Oblige.

When the State began to furnish the books, however, the store supplied all the necessities such as paper, pencils, and note books. Since then it has made much progress and it is now not only selling the above supplies, but also athletic goods, school jewelry, felt goods in school colors, fountain pens, stationery and numer- ous other articles. The profits from this orgaaiization go into the general Student Body Fund; there- fore it is in many ways a benefit to the school The present management has tried to help the students in getting their supplies as cheaply as possible; with the hearty co-operation of the student body, it has com- pleted a very successful term. The manager. Earl Barnett, has been ably assisted by Harold Risley, John Isaacs, and Ralph Wiseman. ); [lost foumd| ?

While the bleakness of this chasm is startling, we nevertheless go dauntlessly forward, realizing the truth of that stanza by Bryant: He who. from zone to zone. Guides through the boundless sky thy certain flight. In the long way that I must tread alone. Will guide my steps aright. With the co-operation of the faculty, the fighting members of the class, and our efficient and respected sponsors, Miss Amick and Miss Woolery. we have been able successfully to terminate our high school activities with a very enjoyable dance, a highly entertaining vaudeville, an interesting debate, and a spirited athletic contest with the Class of S ' 26. We are happy to have completed our course under the benign and firm influence of Mr. E. W. Oliver, who, we know, will guide Los Angeles High through many years of progress and prosperity.

A.: we ' re off the stage uov. ' . and we may come back; now we ' re going on with a recollection, a smile and a future. A SECTION FROM THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES CHAPTER XIII. The decade of 1945-55 came in with the blackest rule our fair country has ever seen and departed with the purest hopes for the future. In the early years of this most ' tumultuous period of our history, the O ' Brien ring held tho government of this country in an iron grip. Its tool. Earl Mathis, was at that time president of the United States ' and it is confidential that Johnny O ' Brien. Claude Cunningham, Myer Marcus and Sara Grev the brains of the gang, robbed the treasury of 13,000,000.000 News of this terrible scandal reached the ears of Sidney Jensen, editor of the Sing Smg News, by his faithful reporters. Gordon Wilde and Stewart Liner. Urged onward by his inviolable standards of piety and progress, he, with the aid of his incorruptible car- toonist. Jack Nutt, waged unceasing war upon the unscrupulous gangsters till at last victory perched upon his banners, and the pure and righteous Adelbert Culling took office amid wild rejoicings. In the horrible strike resulting from the desperate com- petition of the two great international trusts— Jack McGlauflin (Non-skid Rubber Heels), and Jack Ritchie (Tireless Tongue Protector)— most of the members of the incoming cabinet lost life, liberty, and the pursuit of their nation ' s wealth. The re- maining few will be spoken of later. Brought on by terrible slumps in wages and led by the famous suffragette, Marylyn Powers and her able lieutenants, Claire Heller and Ruth Bradt, the strike swept like wildfire ' from the factory of Ford HaiTis, doughnut hole magnate, to the LaFever powder factories (face, gun and baking), and to the Kenneth Young synthetic milk plant. Given vast impetus by the voice of the common people behind it, so well ex- pressed by the famous orator. Al Lazerus. when he said. I like ice cream, too — the strike made fearful progress. Penetrating high and low. its effect was felt everywhere. The sympathetic strike was popular. Even the society leaders of New York, Mary Leusinger and Louise Buchanan, expressed svmpathy for the poor strikers. In the Dorcas Society the presi- dent, Dorothy Steftev, was forced to call three times for order because of a heated argument between Ruth Fish, Helen Gayman. Louise Lowe and Ruth Richards con- cernnig the profit and advisability of sending Spanish shawls, cream puffs, or opera cloaks to the widows and orphans of the strikers. The furor spread to congress. Congressman Leona Gerber spoke for the strikers. The Hon. Robert Cohen opposed in fiery argument. It is said that Mr. Cohen lost several handfuls of hair and Miss Gerber two front teeth before John Langen, speaker of the House, could restore peace. Claire Pierce and Luella Holder, red antagonists, threatened the president with a bomb. It was then that Lester Berry, the White House janitor, deftly caught the bomb and put out the fuse, proving himself a hero. He was given a Woolery and Amick medal for his bravery. The corrupt members of the Mathis cabinet were caught in the raging torrent of public opinion. Secretary of State, Frank Adams, and Secretary of the Treasury, Hal Kleinhall, were kidnapped by the mob and imprisioned in a disused lime kiln. It is well established that in this forlorn situation they were only kept from starving by the ministrations of two charming, though unknown, heroines, supposed to have been Lois Thorpe and Eva May Strong. Attorney General Jack Clark was committed to San Quentin, and Arthur Hurt, Secretary of War, was taken by the angry rioters and drowned in the Los Angeles river. Political refugees were found ever n,vhere. Jennie Korsen and Evelvn McDonald the Florence Nightengales of the present era, tended the sufferers. Welfare and relief stations, supported by the multi-millionaire capitalists, Francis Tappaan and Eber Jacques sprang up all over the country. (It is a matter of note in connection with this fall of the mighty that the once famous director of the Follies, Robert Newman, was seen in the bread line on the Bowery.) In the financial panic that was one of the results of this strike, the world famous Asbestos Cigar Company went into the hands of receivers, and its president, Carlos Schuesler, committed suicide. His dying words were to the effect that he had been blackmailed by a gang of lady crooks, Betty Logan, Norma Wilson and Alma Porter, renowned confidence women, known to l.e connected with this gang; but although their portraits are in the Rogues ' Gallery, Vivian Smith Hawkshaw. the great detective, is still searching tor their trail. In thi ; terrible crisis the tide was at last turned by the rise of a leader from the common people. The President and his depleted cabinet, consisting only of Inez Arthur secretary of the Aviation Bureau; Harlow Rothert, secretary of the Kinder- garten ' thletic Association; Al Luckett. vice president of the National Bean Bag In- dustry and Eleanor Laphani. general chairman of the International Board of Medical Missionaries, could no longer bear the heavy burden of federal administration alone. (It is reported that General Chairman Lapham and her aide-de-camp, Caroline Cratt, are lost in the wilds of Northern Siberia, while hunting for the lost germ of study.) Perceiving the entire government to be tottering on the verge of a nervous breakdown, notwithstanding the hastv addition of Henry Denison. the well known glue manufac- turer to the cabinet, the American people responded nobly, as always, and by a great popul ' aritv contest elected Margaret Pierce to the represntative and honorable position of the Power Behind the Presidential Chair. The general public, feeling the presence of a friend at court. immediately became calm, and the strike was over. Marion Buck was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and celebrated her inauguration by sentencing Juliana Townsend and Grace Randall to the position of train announcers in the Grand Central Station of New York because of their frivolity and very under- sized voices. Blakeslee Smith was made Secretary of War, taking the place of the former illain, and was expressly commanded not to have any more wars. Tom Koster and William Stern had joint charge of the treasury in hopes that the check system would prevent anv further wanderings of the national funds. The only tragedy concerns Dud Dorman. the appointee to the position of Official Photographer. Soon after his appointment, he set out on a hunting trip into Central Africa, and was pushed over Victoria Falls because he attempted to get a picture ot the thirteenth wife of a village sheik. So comes to a close a decade of tumultuous strife and internal disruption, with the final result of peace and order out of chaos. Long life the historian! ' US ' CUA NI SjT.

A. many luiiglits were striving to reacli their goal, the great Land of the Seniors, where pivileges of weaing special garments and medals were given the inhabitants. One of the most brave knights, Winter- Twenty-Seven, had traveled for over a year towards this land. He was now on the last part of his journey, where he was to come upon his most fearful foes and difficult trials. At the beginning of his journey he called together his sQuires. Russell Richards and Muriel Ansley, and his pages, Kathryn Elliot and John McLean, and gave them direc- tions for his assistance. Queen Lockwood showed him where he should fight his bat- tles and inspired him to fare forth and win. This knight ' s first combat was with the dragon. Failure, from which conflict he emerged victorious, bearing only the scars of unsatisfactory cards. While his wounds were healing, he engaged in a friendly joust with his younger brother, Summer-Twenty- Seven, in which he was worsted. Continuing his journey, he stopped at the Palace of Pleasure, where he made merry at a dance given to do him honor. Here wonderful music, amusements, and feasting were enjoyed by great throngs of his followers. Leav- ing this jollity, he met with his most fearful foe, the fierce giant. Senior Entrance Exam. Through daily endeavor and special skill, he overthrew this monster and con- quered him fairly. Again the dragon. Failure, beset him: but this time he was quickly vanquished by the brave Knight, Winter-Twenty-Seven. All through his strife and en- deavors, he looked ever to the good Queen Lockwood for inspiration and guidance. And so Winter-Twenty-Seven came to the border of the great Land of the Seniors, bearing aloft his banner of victory. As he entered therein, full well he knew that his new trials and conflicts would end happily for him and that he would come out a victor, with flying colors, in the last Great Tournament of Graduation. WINTERS 192 G (f l Student Life With a Purpose Providence has nothing good or liigh in store for one who does not resolutely aim at something high and good. A purpose is the eternal condition of success. T. T. Munger. Men and women fail in college, as elsewhere, who do not have before them a definite plan. Where there is no plan, there is no incentive to achievement, and little is accomplished. The most vital question for you who are planning on college, then, is, What are you going to college for? The chief object of a college education is not to store the mind with knowledge. A mind full of facts, but untrained, is like unto a house into which the furniture of half a village has been thrown on an alarm of fire. In its crowded and disordered condition, it is of as little use to the owner as if it were empty. Nor is there any question of learning involved. To become a jnan of learning is the enterprise of a lifetime, and no one ever dreamed of imparting learning to undergraduates. Four years is too short a time for such a task. Many students feel that acquiring a purpose lor college is synonymous with choosing a life work, and then selecting courses which will give a preparatory drill in the skill of their vocation. The modern world more than ever before needs those with capacity to decide its pro- blems wisely, with power to organize and guide its forces. Where else is the world to get them if not from its educated men and women and the occasional self-developed genius? The purpose of college is to train those who are to rise above the ranks. The preparation for leadership is largely a matter of awakening the faculties of the mind. Such awakening comes through some stern discipline which will arouse the mind from its slothful slumber of everyday habits and lead it up onto the mountain tops of thought where it can view the ages and understand. .A few great men have scaled these heights unaided. A Lincoln could bring his mind into communion with the universe through a conscientious study of two great books— the Bible and Pilgrim ' s Progress. We today have an infinitely easier road to broadening our mental outlook. Our voluntary self-segregation in university communities provides most favorable cir- cumstances. However, to succeed in our purpose still requires an immense amount of mental discipline, a mastery of history and politics, of science, philosophy and re- ligion, of the great languages which carry the thought of the world. The man who has really comprehended these— no mere smatterer— is ready to lay his mind along- side the world ' s tasks with some confidence that he can master them and understand why and how they are to be performed. He has gotten out of college a quickening, an awakened mind, a training which will make him in some degree a master among men. One sometimes hears expressions of that philosophy, deadly to all progress, Don ' t let your studies interfere with your college life. as if college life and studies were en- tirely unrelated phases of university activity. The delightful truth is that hard work and faithful study not only give one the most worthwhile training for after life, but also produce the most enjoyable undergraduate days. Have you ever considered why it is that students always desire to attend those universities requiring higher standards and a greater amount of discipline? It is due, in part at least, to the fact that these in- stitutions invariably have the more worthwhile college life. Student life always has been a manifestation of the conflict between individualism and the discipline of the university. The discipline of hard work on hard subjects frees the mind from old tribal habits and gives a new freedom. The growing individual first uses his newly discovered faculties in revolt against discipline. It was individualism revolting against the ascetic disciplne of the medeval university that gave us student secret societies. It is Yale ' s compulsory daily chapel, long continued study of ancient languages, his- tory and English by requirement, compulsory written examinations in every subject every dav and a paternalistic common life of dormitories and dining hall which have produced a Yale life no man who has tasted of it would give up. It is the high stan- dards of Californit and Stanford which have produced in them that wideawake student life, centered around worthwhile publications, clubs and athletics, of which we are all so proud. For only stern discipline can awaken the mental faculties and the indi- vidualism of students to the point where they will seek expres.sion through a vigorous student life. Hoping that this may lead a few of the class of Winter Twenty-Six to a more purposeful student life. Yale l.-niversity. New Haven, ' Conn. HERBERT F, STURDY. Al umni POSTING AT L.

Spring Organization Prize Story It was the last nipht the Ensigns would be on the island; on the morrow they would depart tor Canton and then go back to the Atlaniic coasi whert they would be stationed for Iv, o ears. A dance was in full swing at the Country Club. Gay couples crowded the highly polished floor, swaying rhythmetically to the catching refrain, eager to draw out every possible joy the evening could hold for them. Outside on the veranda strolled couples seeking more privacy. From the half-open window came strains of the half-mad music, noi e of laughter, scuffling of feet, and sound of general hilarity; faintly came the mingled odors of honeysuckle, rich per- fume. June roses, cigarette smoke, and columbine. Farther away could be seen the twinkling lights of ships on the bay, huge hulks against the black waters of the night. In one of the most secluded corners sat a young Ensign, and one of the season ' s debutantes, distinguished from the others by being the richest. This couple, oblivious of the moon, the stars, the music, the flowers, of everything except themselves, sat conversing in low tones. Then there was a long silence, broken finally by the man. Louisa, do you realize I am going away tomorrow? No. Jimmie! Oh. it is too hard after these beautiful weeks! Her languid tone held a new note of sincerity. She had known him only a little while; she had known his family in the East, austere pillars of aristocracy; but knowing them was different from knowing him. He was so surely democratic, so comfortingly straightforward, so eager for advancement, and so willing to work for it. Louisa, Louisa, darling, was his passionate reply, do you really care for me — that much? and then without waiting for an answer, To think you care for me, only a lowly Ensign. Oh, Louisa, I am going away, but when I come back, a lieutenant or better, will vou— will you— have me, Louisa? Morning, another perfect .June day. mellow in the early dew. Louisa Hunter awoke in her dainty ivory bed, breathed deeply of the fresh salt air, and then sank back on her pillows suppressing a vawn, ashamed of really enjoying anything, thus childishly, even the bowl of roses by her side, with the attached card: James Baker Converse. Ensign, United States Navy. Though really, deep down in her heart she loved it all, the roses. Jimmie. excitement; it was not considered good form in her set to display enthusiasm One must learn to control one ' s emotions, to be blase, sophisticated. She rang for her maid, pressed one beautifully manicured hand to her hair, pulling damp curls down around her forehead. Then, half sitting up, she looked out of the window where she could see three huge ships slowly steaming out across the golden harbor, sending back thin streams of smoke, white smoke, that wavered thinly in the air and disappeared into the horizon. . , , Late summer, and the yearly migration of the summer colony to the mainland. And with it. the Hunters, Mr. Hunter, the prosperous and pompous old widower, and his adored daughter. Louisa the petted and only heiress to the Hunter millions. Louisa, snug in the satisfaction of her position, gloating in the possession of Jimmie Converse, most eligible of men, envied by all. spending her days in idle pampered pleasure, thinking onlv of herself and her social leadeihip. Louisa, being fashionably late to teas! Louisa, coming home at three and four in the morning! Louisa, lying lazily in bed at noon — that was the sum and total of her existence. Then, one day everything changed. Coming downstairs unusually late one morning. Louisa happened to go into her father ' s study with the intention of secur- ing a check, and found him dead at his desk! Shaken by the death of the only per- son the world for whom she had any affec- tion, her idle grieving was cut short. It was found that he had died in abject poverty, leaving barely enough to cover his debts, to Louisa only his clear name. And she found that her world, the world of people with whom she had chosen to associate, was not interested in a girl with- out money. With her limited education she faced life not as a social whirlwind, but as a bread-and-butter nonenity. The hospitality of her friends was short-lived, and the money she had managed to scrape together from the wreckage soon dwindled. What could she do? The house was sold, and she moved to cheaper quarters. She wrote to Jimmie of her father ' s death and also of her change of address, but neglected to tell him of her change in fortunes. Somehow she couldn ' t. It seemed ridiculous not to tell. Jimmie would still love her, she assured herself, and yet, his mother, always fashionably correct: his father, unapproachable master of finance — . Her problem was how to support her- self. She had read, in the novels that had been a part of her life, of rich girls losing all their money. They had either married some rich man or secured a high position with an equally high salary as a result of some queer twist of fate. But Louisa, with only a mediocrity of good looks and a very meagre education, could follow neither course. And still, in the background was always Jimmie who. she was sure, adored her- True, his courtship had been short and there was room for doubt; but always on her hand gleamed his diamond in the heavy carved gold setting. She wandered the streets listlessly, seem- ingly indifferent to her plight, until one day an urgent demand for money sent her to bed supperless. Louisa, who had never been hungry in her life, awoke the next morning with an empty feeling in her stomach that urged her to find some sub- stantial means of satisfying this new craving But what could she do? She. who had never lifted a finger in her life— a stenographic or secretarial position? Impossible! A menial position? Her pride was too great for that. Perhaps she might find an opening in one of the larger depart- ment stores. . , , , ,,...,, Almost happy for the first time since her father s death, she walked briskly along the sidewalk, taking in the crisp fresh air. pausing a moment hungrily in front of a restaurant window where a man in a white cap and apron was busily turning hot cakes Thanks to good fortune, she finally got a position in the basement of one of the cheaper department stores at a very insignificant salary, for Louisa, who could very easily have dispensed in one short month the sum that she would earn in one Louisa found it hard to readjust herself to her new position. Her old friends had kindly but decisively dropped her; her new friends were those who worked in the same department with her. people who were strangely more human than her former assocaites. more understanding. These people endeavored to help her; they went out of their way to be kind to this nice girl who had such different and reserved man- ners and a soft voice, who wore elegant (slightly shabby) clothes, and a huge diamond ring who walked to work, and who had no friends. One girl. Marie, was particularly nice ' to her; Marie, of the blue-black hair and the pug Irish face, chewing gum and rolling her eyes at the floorwalker, wearing high heeled shoes and shiny serge dresses. One day she had a pleasant thrill. Louisa, who had abhorred thrills! Marie had been talking to her during the lunch hour and was questioning her about her mode of living. Say, dearie, where d ' ya live? • ' Oh. I live in a boarding house not so far from here. responded Louisa. Wliew, but they must soak you for it. Rather, in proportion to my pay. said Louisa wearily. Well, whv don ' t you come and room with me? To of us girls live together in a room down onEast Forty-Second, and there ' s plenty of room for another. Besides, you must be lonesome nights. ' It was a bit of unexpected kindness to Louisa, who had felt so humble in her new position that the tears came into her eyes and the color rushed to her cheeks. Whv — I — I ' d love it. she stammered. And so Louisa moved into a room on East Forty-second street with slangy Marie, and even slangier Rose. A year passed. It was winter and very cold. Louisa Hunter was becoming accus- tomed to her new station in life; to getting up early in the morning and walking to work, in exchange for lying in bed and going late to luncheon; to cheap meals at regu- lar times and occasional uptown moving picture shows in exchange for all-night dinner dances; to wearing badly cut serge dresses in exchange for silks and the luxurious furs, and to standing tirelessly on her feet all day showing bargain counter laces to fussy old ladies in exchange for aimless social chatter. Occasionallv she would read of some of her old friends; this one ' s gettng married, that one giving a party. Occasionally she would see them dashing by in flashing motor cars, and once a group of girls brushed by her counter; she turned and pretended to be arranging some shelves until they had passed, breathing a sigh of relief that they had not recognized her. But slowly she lost all traces of them, and one day she ceased to care. That was the dav she heard a group of girls in the department saying: There geos Mrs. McAllister. Look at the snob! And then one of them imitated her. and they all burst into hilarious laughter. A small thing in itself but Louisa found that she. too. was smiling. Onlv in her letters to .Timmie did she keep up the pretense. She managed to till them with pictures of gav doings, vague in themselves but portraying her life before her sudden reversal of fortune. Often she wondered if he detected an underlying false note, if he saw through her change of address? But he still seemed the same Jimmie. wildlv infatuated with the Louisa Hunter he had known and fallen in love with, the spoiled darling of a multi-millionaire father. Always his letters were full of hope and cheer and love. Then, one dav he wrote, joyously happy, that he was coming to her in a few short months. Louisa, terror-stricken, spent a few sleepless nights. The problem of seeing him again liad seemed so tar away that she could not realize the time had come when she could be called to account. His next letter, however, was a relief to her, though filled with a bitter disappointment for himself. He told her, like a little boy that has just had his candy taken away from him. that he would not be able to come to her until next Spring. Oh. the relief, the half-ashamed joy, the respite it brought to Louisa I Neverthel ess with it came the news for Rose that her sweetheart was coming out. Only a common sailor gob. but how the little shop girl blossomed under the promise, how radiantly happy she was in planning things for them all to do. how anxious to include Louisa in the fun I The boat came, the boat that should have held Jimmie, but the boat that held, instead, Rose ' s sailor. Somehow the con- tingency that some of Jimmie ' s friends might come, too, never occurred to Louisa. One day. returning home late from work. Louisa found a note to the effect that neither Rose nor Marie would be home to dinner. It seemed that two of the sailors had come and were taking them out. Louisa was smiling happily to herself as she started to prepare her little supper, picturing the excitement of both her friends at the prospect of a real dinner and dance, when a commotion in the outer room abrupt- ly ended her train of thoughts. She started to pull off her apron, when Rose pounced in upon her, Marie following. They laughed gaily at the astonishment they supposed they read in her face, and dragged her into the parlor. ■ ' Come on, Louisa. they cried. We got a date for you. Mr. Powers, meet Miss Hunter, then noticing her strange unre- sponsiveness Come on, get your hat and make it snappy! and Rose went to tind her hat. Louisa looked at the three rather pimply-faced, narrow-shouldered young men, and a picture of Jimmie rose by their side, broad-shouldered, clean shaven, good natured Jimmie. It would hurt Rose ' s and Marie ' s feelings, yet somehow she couldn ' t. Mr. Powers was offering his arm. Oh, Rose, 1 can ' t — I — I have another engagement she lied. I promised to go to a show with a friend. And she smiled sweetly until they had disappointedly closed the door behind them with many genuine and noisy expressions of regret. Then Louisa sank down on the horsehair sofa wearily, wUli her shoulders sagging, her face drawn with a hopelessness that seemed incurable. She looked at the furnishings of the little room cheaply reflecting her present lite and companions. Curtains loudly proclaim- ed that they had once lain on a bargain counter in a cheap store, the cracked pitcher on an imitation oak stand, the pictures of quite risque ladies that adorned the gaudily burlapped walls seemed to shout out to her that the everlasting struggle to keep above all this was useless. Why hadn ' t she gone with Marie and Rose? She picked up the ornate pseudo-silver mirror that lay on a table and examined her reflection in the glass. Whereas she once might have laid claim ot aristocratic good looks, could she now detect a cheapness coming over her — a cheapness that lowered her to the plane of the room in which she lived — to that of her companions, Marie and Rose? Then her gaze tell on the diamond in the intricately fashioned setting that she had worn on the fourth finger ot her left hand tor over a year now. She would give Jimmie up. She must, tor his family ' s sake. A sudden clear thought came to her. Was it honestly tor his family ' s sake that she was doing this, or was it the last shreds of false pride that kept her from going to him. no longer a beautifully gowned leader of the younger set, no longer the heiress to the Hunter millions, but rather a penniless, shabby little shop girl. She was in the act ot taking the diamond off. when she was interrupted by the sharp ring of the door-bell. She dabbed a little powder on her nose, straightened her plain serge frock, and went to see who it was that clamored for admission. Confront- ing her was a young naval officer who spoke politely. Does Miss Hunter live here? I am Miss Hunter. she replied, then suddenly comprehending the situation as sho noticed he carried a white envelope in one neatly gloved hand — . Miss Louisa Hunter? he queried. A flood ot sudden realization had come to her. It must be one of Jimmie ' s friends. But what — why. She could not let him know — . No not here, she replied hurriedly, blushing. I am sorry, he said. I was told that she lived here, and he bowed a little stiffly and started down the corridor. Louisa stood there motionless. What had she done? Was she being unjust to Jimmie in breaking with him with no explanation? Perhaps for the first time in her life Louisa Hunter looked at herself squarely. Dismantled of social position and wealth, just how much of her was there really left? Was there enough ot the new Louisa to cover up the huge gap? Had she estimated Jimmie rightly? Wasnt she mistrusting him, his sense of values? She had been. She would right it if she must crumble her pride to dust beneath the heel of her humility. She looked at the young man, Jimmie ' s messenger, now nearly at the end of the dimly-lit corridor. Wait. she cried. He turned surprisedly. Come back; I am Louisa Hunter — I — I wasn ' t thinking what I was saying; forgive me. He came back. Miss Louisa Hunter? Yes. eagerly. Well, I am Francis Charles, a very dear friend ot James Converse. Here he stopped expectantly. Oh, yes, Mr. Charles, won ' t you come in? she led the way into the dinky little parlor, hoping vaguely that he would not think her crazy, not caring much. Perhaps you wonder at my coming here. Miss Hunter, he began, when he had seated himself, but I have a very important letter for you, entrusted to me by your fiance. glancing at her ring, which she still wore, which I am sure you will want to read before we talk He handed her the envelope she had noticed when he had first arrived. She tore it open and read hurriedly: My Dear Louisa: I have just found out all. To think you have been hiding this from me all this long, long time, because of your miserable false pride! How it hurts! I ' d rather go through another endless two years than have you misjudge me as you havt-. Think it over Louisa. I am coming to you soon to give you your well deserved scolding — and vhen I come it will be Spring, Louisa, Spring! Ever yours, JIMMIE. Louisa ' s brain whirled. Everything seemed tangled, the gobs, Marie and Rose, Mr. Charles, herself — Jimme alone stood out, the one calm figure in her blurred picture of the past, and then she looked out of the window, the cheaply curtained window that she despised, across the housetops to the sunset, deepening on the horizon. She took a long breath. It w-as already Spring for her I PATRICL BRADLEY. Mad onna By Virgina Robinson Madonna of the white hands, O, Madonna of the dreams. O ' er a lonely, lovely garden a weary moon now gleams. And far along the fountain where the slender shadows fall Are traced reflected patterns of your black and silver shawl.

The delicious weariness of mellow dusk Creeps into my soul and lingers there. Dripping moon-light bathes the glistening green. Each path of light a tremulous, whimpering stream, A slvery gush— the night air ' s rush — So cool — so keen. A misty star, a frosty star. Set in a star-drenched sky: A sJtar if molten marble.

BLUE £- ' WHITE The Spirit of Youth Upper Division Prize Story It was Christmas week in Southern California, not warm-wintered California of years past, but California since the poles had begun to shift. So the nippy weather accounted for the curling smoke columns, hardly visible m the fast falling dusk, which rose from the chimney of La Taberna Inn. In the wide, cheery dining hall Madam Standis, the proprietress of ample proportions and amiable nature, was trying to maintain her equilibrium on an unsteady chair, and at the same time tie the traditional mistletoe on the ron-wrought lantern hangng from a broad beam. ' Pears I ' m not so agile as these high steppin ' younguns from the high school that take all the lovin ' cups, she chuckled. You should have been here Saturday night when little Virginia twirled her toes on every one o ' my white pott ' ry plates without even breakin ' them. I wasn ' t in the room, else there ' d been a stop right oft. I can ' t have any of these flappers takin ' liberties with my chinaware. But everyone who heard her knew she would not have had the heart or wish to deprive her young guests of any enjoyment. For all their pranks I couldn ' t stan ' to miss seein ' their happy faces. She descended from her perch as nimbly as possible under such precerious circum- stances. They ' re all dears, from blue-eyed Sylvia, and that young Ramon shiek. ' curly locks ' his pals call him. thought it seems to me they all can answer to that description since the marcellers have set up business, to that innocent poetic-lookmg scamp, Jack. He ' ll be here, tor he ' s master of ceremonies and chief instigator of tricks, for all his bland looks. Culinary airs called her to the kitchen, whence issued enticmg whiffs of turkey, the sound of crispy popping cranberries, and the chatter, chatter, chatter of bustlmg cooks. Mary Jo, the waitress, carefully set the long table with immaculate linen, and placed red wax candles in silver candelabra on it, and on the gleaming grand piano. Madam Standis prided herself on her generosity at this time of the year when the C— organization held forth at the inn, and so a huge festive board instead of small tables was spread. , c t The busy hostess hummed snatches of Christmas songs as she put the nnal touches to the decorations, and gave an appraising survey of the entire holiday-be- decked room. Let the dear Pucks come now, she smiled, glancing at the clock on the stair landing. A hand here Mary Jo, to lift more fuel for the log bed. Ah, here is Billy now flinging wide the rough hewn door for her son as she spoke. You bring the fragrance of the eucalyptus wJth you, but also frisky Jack Frost. A ruddy faced, tall youth of the untidy cords age, in lumber jacket and high boots, emptied his load of logs on the hearthstone. B-r-r-r. I ' m not sure but what he ' s been brewing mischief up in the mountains, for there ' s heavy rain clouds hovering low, especially dark ones near the canyon, and old Jackie is surely making the mercury race. In spite of the steady rain of cats ' pajamas that soon set in after Billy ' s return, the undaunted frolickers arrived in high spirits and with noisy, happy clatter. Jack was toast niastei ' . and sent his listeners into gales of laughter with his poetic out- burst: Here ' s to the dear old turkey — Here ' s to the holidays — Bring on the dear old sauce, boys. Sing out your joyful praise. Here ' s to our dear, kind hostess Jolly and true always, Here ' s to her scrumptious dinner Here ' s to our holidays. Now all join in on Dear old turkey gobbler, we ' re strong for you Dear old turkey gobbler We are strong for you. To your tempting stuffing We w ' ill justice do. Everyone will smack his lips As you are passing by And cheer you when you ' re nigh.

During a lull in the tun making Tapham. the be- loved and emulated football captain, pro- posed that Madam Standis add one of her stories as a contribution to the happy spirit, and all shouted in accord, A Story! Tis many a year since I was your age and in school, she began slowly. We young ones were pounced on by straight- laced, horrified denouncers of my time for wild ways and innovations, as you are now.

Madam Standis and Billy had run for all the available boots, jackets and tools be- fore the bearer of the tidings had finished speaking; soon the boys were accoutred for the battle with nature. In the terror stricken silence, Tapham raised his earn- est young voice, Let ' s show them all the old school spirit — fight, boys, to win! ' ' Then off they went, leaving the air vibrant with their rousing cheers of cour- age and loyalty. £ Sife . M«B is« -i In the days that followed, the story of the heroic work of twelve high school boys in carrying rock and cutting brush and trees to make a diverting and retaining wall for the unleashed water demon, the worst flood in years, was on the lips of the people far and near. They had succeeded in protecting the valley below from destruction. They had refuted in the name of youth the accusation of jazziness, emptiness, and selfishness; and had proved themselves sane in a crisis, true hearted, self-forgetful. Madam Standis voiced with her pride. It made my heart glad to see how willing a hand and heart thev had for dutv. I am proud of our youths. MARGARET MASTEX. Rhapsodie By Isabel Inscho. Suddenly, I saw the sunset, Daring symphony of color That tilled the sky And thrilled my soul. In that one moment I was God — Heard the swift swish of planets Scuttling down paths of the Universe; Saw through the illusion of time. And knew all know ledge — and forgot. I shed each mortal tear anew. And with an infinite dumb pain Died with each human. Ah. yes I I dropped down quickly From those dizzy heights. But that one moment I was God. For I had seen the sunset!

You ' ve got to fight, or get out! , .„ i„„ ,va= c The whistle sounded, and the second half began. The grass m the stadium was a brUliant greem, and the sunlight glared back from the concrete walls, reminding Jones of the English Downs and tlie white stone fences which he was to see altogether too soon. He wondered if his father had ever played football, but decided he hadn ' t since he was taking him to England where he would play cricket. Man after man of the substifutes went in; and at last the coach w-alked over to the bench where Jones waited with eager eyes. Wartn up, Jones, he said, I ' m going to send you in. The boy joyfully dropped his blanket and began his rapid trot up and down the side lines. The yell leaders leaped to their stations, and: Fight ' em. City, fight ' em, chanted the stands in the immemorial growling war cry that had stiffened the backs of City High ' s gridiron gladiators since time began. Then the stands were still. Mc- Clintock was hurt, and they were helping him off the field. The coach jerked his thumb over his shoulder at Jones. Fourth down, and seven yards to go for a touchdown. Jones had his chance! He dash for the field like mad, his heart singing in his breast — he had his chance. Reaching the line of scrimmage, he held up his hand to the referee and darted to right end. Signals: 75-15-31 — his num- ber! He tensed himself for a leap — when — the pistol flashed — the game was over. There were no cheers. It was a tie game. But when his team mates had gone to the showers, a figure raised itself slowly to its feet from the ground beneath the goal posts, and walked with dragging feet from the field. It was a lonely figure, in the midst of the great, empty coliseum. The tense, hard face, and burning eyes held all the W ' oe that can come to youth. Bitter grief, that all mothers and fathers know, comes more crushingly to youth than to age. Had his mother, rest her soul, been at hand, the poor lonely boy might have cried out his sorrow upon her breast. But she was gone, and he had no one — no one to ease the hurt in his heart — the hurt that could not be stilled; no one but a father, who did not, could not understand, and who was in Switzerland. The miser- able, solitary figure? It was Jones, who now would never hear the voice of the announcer ring out to crowded stands, tell- ing the fans that Jones carried the ball 9.,DiLLOyy Fish erman of D awn Lower Division Prize Poem By Josephine L. Miles. I awoke and the wind was swishing. And beyond my window the Dawn was fishing, Fishing with a net of rose and gold. I awoke and the wind was saying, Little bright stars, you must stop your playing. For a-watching you is Dawn, and Dawn is bold. I awoke and the moon was crying. Stars, my children, I am dying! But the little fish swam, heedless, in their bright blue sea. Then Dawn cast his net with a peal of laughter. Caught one gold fish, and the rest came after. And Day saw what Dawn had done, and laughed with glee. Then the world awoke, and the great sun flared. And ' twas nought but the net of fish that Dawn had snared! But no one in the wide world knew but me. Gold The two men glared at each other across the tlrittwood tire, with sunlven, blood- shot eyes. Neither had vouchsafed a word since they had thrown themselves on the sand in the early twilight, thoroughly exhausted, unutterably weary. Ragged, they were, and gaunt, with four weeks ' scrubble of beard on their faces that enhanced the leanness and gave a singularly wolfish appearance to the emaciated jaws. The cast- aways had contracted a sickly yellow look from a meagre diet of strange bird eggs that had been srtuggled tor with many painful, dangerous climbs over precipitous cliffs, risking attacks from the claws and beaks of enraged mothers protecting their nests. The one ragged skeleton coughed hollowly and racklngly, while his companion looked mercilessly at him. with dull, black lips drawn back, disclosing fang-like teeth. With a weary groan, the man settled back an his heels, worn with the effort. A Satanic flicker passed over the face of the other, as he poked the dying fire with a stick, sending a shower of vivid sparks heavenward, into the black dom e that covered the ship-wrecked wretches. From the sooty canopy of the sky, myriad stars winked down, uncompassionate, unconcerned with the affairs of mortals. T e sea moaned hollowly on the reef; a bird screamed from the jagged faces of the cliffs, that loomed dark bulks into the blackness of the night. Barren was the island of tree and brush, barren alike of sound, for the ocean ' s lament was a steady, constant part of thi.s desolate corner of the world. The fire was but a glowing bed of embers; the men shifted a bit nearer to the warmth, for the cold air found their bodies easily through their rags. They watched each other with mingled suspicion and hatred; green distrust filled their eyes, and catlike they crouched. Distrust that had been constant to them for the weeks that they had labored together, fashioning a craft that would carry them to the mainland, from this inferno of burning heat by day, and griping cold by night; from the incessant torture of slow, steady starvation. And thus they waited for the dawn, when they would make their attempt, these two so close and yet so far apart. After a series of coughs, the one wreck sank into a stupor of exhaustion. The other became suddenly alert, his eyes riveted on the sleeping form across the glowing coals. Continued, heavy breathing, reassured him, and after a few moments of watch- ing the mail got to his feet with strange, catlilse agility, and retreated slowly, wearily. Once at a safe distance from the fire, he turned and sped down to the end of the beach. There firmly moored, in readiness for the dawn, was the result of their combined labor. In the bottom of the crudely fashioned craft was a box. of which their being castaway was the result, of which their reciprocal hatred was the result and for which a dozen men had gone guilty to their Maker. With a low. gutteral cry, the fellow lifted the lid. and caressed the shining horde within. And mine! It will be mine! He hitched around and stared back into the blackness to a small orange spot that was the remains of the fire. He could see no movement. Chuckling dryly, he set to work to launch the boat. The man lying on the sand by the half-dead fire started suddenly into wakefulness. He was on his feet and peering about him. the second he saw he was alone. His eyes immediately turned down the beach where he felt his enemy-companion was. Swiftly he went over the sands, straining his eyes vainly, for the night was as Erebus. Then when he was almost upon it, he saw a shape in a dark hull upon the waters rapidly leaving the shore. Quickly into the sea he went, and with a catlike yell, he had thrown himself into the boat, and upon the back of the object of his hatred. There was acurse the two figures locked together, and fell struggling into the bottom of the craft, which was steadily going outward on the waters. Gasping, sobbing oaths, they clawed and pounded each other, and knocked against the fatal box. With a mighty effort, the stronger man heaved himself up, only to be tackled by the other and pulled down. He struck the side of the boat— the other was on him- there was a lurch— they were struggling in the black waters— and the box with its shining lure slid down with a splash and was gone— the over-turned boat drifted away and still they fought. A queer movement— as if the bottom of the sea were rising— two mingled screams — a wilder la shing— and they were gone. Long, slippery tendrils gleamed through the darkness of the waters— and the satisfied monster settled back into the depths from which he had come— back to the ocean floor where lay that which had proved to be more injurious and poisonous ' ° ' ®- Natalie Van Zand.

The wind is an artist who lives in the grass, In the quiet of country lanes, The wind is an artist who lives upon meadows. Dripping in moon-light, singing in moon-light. Upon meadow of clover, and daises, That dance in the moon-light. To the waltz of a hidden lute. The wind is a demon who licks his lips. And squats in hedges of cypress. At night. His form is a giggle of anticipatant lust, A hubble of horror, a shuddering gust. The wind is a dolt, a drunken fool. Who babbles Ho! Ho!— Ha! Ha! To lovers, and trees, and gardens of roses. And ships, a ' sailing at sea. He romps with pudgy feet By country graveyard walls. On beds of tiny shrubs that grow In quivering circle, and stony quiet row. Visi ision By Doris Conner.

CLUB S 1 ,,|PERIC LEAN , « w Viii?V i Smi7;i C;mWt« CiaiV Lillian Sriiiirl.- Harold Gr. The Periclean Society was organized in 1918, witli a cliarter membersliip of 245. This society is chapter four of the California Scholarship Federation. To become a member a student must have at least three A ' s and one B if carry- ing four solids, and all A ' s if taking three solids. The three types of pins worn by Pericleans denote different degrees of member- ship. First term members are allowed to wear the green owl pin; two or more term members may wear a Greek 11 pin, and those students who are seniors and have been members of the society at least four terms wear the Scholarship Federation pin. The chief outside activity of the club this term has been to assist the Cinema Club in lowering its deficit. The Periclean Society has taken over the financing, the selling of tickets, the publicity, the order during the presentation, and the selection of the pictures, while the Cinema Club has taken charge of the projection of the films. All profits from each performance are to be applied to the Cinema Club deficit. In the early part of October, the society gave its semi-annual assembly and a dance. The officers are: President: Charles Crail. Vice-President: Lillian Schuck. Secretary: Vivian Smith. Treasurer: Harold Grayson. Sponsor: Miss Peyton. jli FORUM The Forum Society was organized in 1905 and is tlie second oldest society in tlie school. Its purpose primarily is to promote interest in forensics; art and literature are also encouraged.

J lslAR CRESCHiJIf The Star and Crescent Society is the oldest organization in the history of the school. A meeting is called at the end of each term, in which the senior classes take an active part. Certain traditions, such as a dance in the girls ' gymnasium, are always carried out. Lst term a new tradition was started by breaking the ground for the Memorial Park and in the future the tree planting ceremony will be an important part in the Star and Crescent activities. Every graduate of the Los Angeles High School receives a Star and Crescent pin on Star and Crescent Day, and all alumni are vitally interested In the affairs on that day. This term the program promises to be one of the best ever presented. President: Otis Williams. Vice President: Naneen Burnap. Secretary: Ellen Lindscott.

Discussions of modern literature and its standards, and the writing of poetry con- stitute tlie business of tlie club. The extremely small group is explained by a desire to accomplish more than would be possible were the membership extensive. Some thirty pieces of poetry have been considered and improved during the term, with the penetrative help of Miss Snow Longley, the faculty advisor. The club meets weekly on Mondays.

The membership includes all students regularly enrolled iu the physics or chemistry classes, and has the largest enrollment of any club in Los Angeles High. The activities of the club have been very successful and lively this term because of the fine enthusiastic and co-operative spirit of the members. The governing council consists of officers of the club and a representative from each science class. The officers are: President: Vivian Smith. Secretary: May Belford. Treasurer: Beeler Gerstenkorn. c mema Club This club was organized In the tall semester o£ 1922, In order to create a greater interest among the students In the motion picture productions of the school.

Since that time, its membership has been growing steadily until now it numbers twenty-eight. This club was started in order to promote interest among the students in the playing of chess and checkers. Last year the club sent representatives to the ChesB and Checker League of the Los Angeles City High Schools, and this year it entered the chess and checker tournament. The officers of the club are: President: Secretary: Treasurer: Jack Rau. Amos Butler. Jose Samaniego. Leah Schwartz Bernice Burnett The purpose of the Girls ' Athletic Association is to stimulate interest in athletics among the girls, and to encourage good sportsmanship. The organization is composed of seven clubs. Dancing. Gymnastics. Hiking. Seasonal Sports, Shooting. Swimming and Tennis. This association is popular because of the good times enjoyed by the girls. A very successful costume party was given in October at the close of the member- ship campaign. The girls of Belmont. Franklin, Warren G.

Blythe, director of the club, the boys were able to give many beautiful renditions of the songs learned during the course of the term. Some very fine voices were included in the talent this year, and the club was never embarrassed for the lack of soloists. The annual Glee Club Banquet and Reunion, to which all memliers of former years were invited, was appropriately celebrated at the University Club. Other activities of the club this year included a programme for the school, tours to suburban high schools, and a successful dance, not to mention numerous other occasions when the club rendered numbers incidental to the success of school assem- blies.

Senior Orchestra One of the most successful organizations of tlie music department during the past semester was the senior orchestra. The accomplishments of the orchestra were largely due to the work of the director. Miss Verna C. Blythe, and her able assistant, Mrs. Lena Moon Morgan. The orchestra boasts of a repetoire of many marches, overtures, and selections from operas, as well as other standard orchestral selections. At special assemblies, such as the Armistice Day and Christmas programs, and commencement, the orchestra played, making for itself a definite niche in the minds of the student body and the faculty. The student officers of the orchestra are: Manager, Seymour Steinberg: concert- master. Henry Sugar, and librarian, Leona Faut. Personnel: piano — Isabel Inscho. First Violin — Henry Sugar.

Organ William Cowles The Memorial Park A lew years ago the students of this school showed their appreciation and sym- pathy tor those men and boys who fought for us, and did not return. A small tract of land, consisting of about three and one-half acres, directly in front of the school, was bought by the student body under the auspices ot the summer class of 1922. This land was very appropriately and lovingly named Memorial Park. Our principal emeritus. Mr. Housh, who is loved by all, planned to have a beautiful library iu the park. Through some legality, we being minors, had to sign our sacred Memorial Park to the City Park Commission. The land stood idle for some time, until the summer of 1925, when that class planted a tree in the park — a custom always to be carried out hereafter as a tradition. Mr. Oliver, our new and capable principal, has accomplished a great deal this term for our almost neglected park. Improvements have already started and after a while our Memorial Park will be realized. MILITAPCr JloFFICERS CLXmf Blalceslee Smith John McCarte Several years ago a need for a medium was expressed, by which a better spirit of co-operation and friendliness could be fostered between both the school and the R. O. T. C. and the men and officers of the Battalion. This avenue was found in the Officers ' Club, which has accomplished many big results since its foundation. The Club is composed of all the officers and non-commissioned officers of the unit and band. Each member is encouraged to express his ideas concerning the better- ment of the R. O. T. C. and also upon the business handled by the Club. The military ball, which is given each term by the Officers ' Club, was declared a complete success by all. The dance was given on the evening of December the 12th in the girls ' gymnasium. All business of the Club was well and smoothly handled through the efforts of a group of unusually good executives, who were as follows: President: Major Arthur Hurt. Vice-president: Sergeant Donald Brookins. Secretary: Captain Blakeslee Smith. Treasurer: Lieutenant John Wilcox. Sergeant-at-Arms: Sergeant John McCarter. Military The Student Body with pleasure notes that the Los Angeles High School Reserve Officers ' Training Corps steadily increased its membership until the unit had two hun- dred and twenty-seven cadets this term. It was a very commendable spirit which prompted the new and old members to show such zeal and interest which resulted in this large enrollment. As we are well over the two hundred mark, this allows our unit to compete in May for honor school, the title given to the thirteen R. 0. T. C. units ranking the highest in all phases of military science. A spirit of good fellowship and co-operation has been evidenced in the personnel and the interest of the Battalion. Under the able supervision of Colonel Mudgett and the direction of student Major Hurt, this spirit has been made possible: and it is, indeed, gratifying. For efficiency, too much stress cannot be laid on the dress of the individual. To this end, every member, from the student officers down to each and every private, should pay more strict attention to a neat and orderly appearance. With this idea in mind. Colonel Mudgett granted the privilege of securing a tailored uniform and a Pershing hat to all members. This reflected itself in a higher efficiency for the whole organization. Another outstanding feature of Colonel Mudgett ' s progressive methods was shown in the deep interest manifested in the special military classes which were formed for the purpose of preparing for the Second and Third Year Tests. An added feature was the automatic rifle class, under the able direction of Sergeant Charles. Great credit Is due to both Colonel Mudgett and Sergeant Charles for their untiring efforts and ef- ficient instruction. The band this semester was undoubtedly the finest the school has ever had. ac- cording to Mr. Thomas Toolan, the director. Four years ago, when he came to our school, the band was an organization of twenty-one members, boasting a repetoire of approximately three marches. In numbers, the band has easily doubled the fore- mentioned amount, while no comparison is to be made as to repetoire. When one realizes that this vast improvement is due mainly to Mr. Toolan ' s knowledge of music, his experience in handling boys as well as bands, and his un- limited patience, it may readily be seen why he deserves so much credit. Mr. Toolan is receiving just compensation for his efforts in numerous requests for his band at occasons typified by the banquet given by the American Army Officers ' Club, where the band played. On the field the band has had an equally successful year because of the co-opera- tion of the band members, with the student leader, Seymour Steinberg, and the drum- major, Henry Hayungs. The band not only presented fine military drills on various occasions, but featured effective drills at the games. A sensational novelty was the fancy uniforms worn by the band at the games. At the end of each ten weeks, examinations are given to determine the most pro- ficient officer, sergeant, corporal, and private. The first year, the medal awarded to the winner is of bronze. The same man winning a medal the second time receives a silver medal: and if he is fortunate enough the third time, he receives a gold medal. The winners of the proficiency medals for the first ten weeks were: Commissioned Officer. Lieutenant Benjamin B. Frost. Bronze medal. Non-commissioned Officers. Sergeant Winfield S. Mortimer. Silver medal. Corporal Charles D. Bulla, Bronze medal. Private. Private Bertin A. Weyl, Bronze medal. Band. Chief Trumpeter Robert E. Willey, Bronze medal. With a large number of experienced cadets, we expect Colonel Mudgett to build a fine unit this coming semester, which will bring honor and credit to Los Angeles High School. l Colonel Mudgett Arthur Hurt Robert Skaiigs Maurice Kocbcrlc Henry Denison Seymour Steinbcru Charles Carter Henry Hauungs William Urownridlie Mr. Toolan Donald Smith Hlakculee Smith Warren Wilson Sylvester Weaver Benjamin Frost John Solomon Bret Smart John Wilcox Battalion Roster staff.

There are many outstanding features in the new bleachers. If L. A. boasts of championship teams this year she may well aspire to enjoy the same condition next year, for the bleachers contain model training quarters. In addition there is a special room reserved for visiting teams. The bleachers are being constructed with plaster walls and are 350 feet long and 50 feet deep. Football fans will be interested to know that there are five entrances instead of three, that the main entrance is twelve feet wide and that the bleachers accomodate seven thousand easily. Instead of playing our games away from home we may enter- tain a great number of guests with ease and without jams. The bleachers have been moved back ten feet and the last one hundred and fifty feet have been angled towards the field to make it possible for the south end to see the activities more advantageously. We may be very proud of our new bleachers, upon which so much time, thought, and money have been expended. (mr (iMw FOOT BAX I m Football Coaches COACH HERBERT WHITE Coach White, who is head of the Athletic Department, came out after the start of the season and from that time on was Mr. Rich ' s right hand man. Mr. White has that little something that makes fellows -get in and go ! No man plays on Mr. White ' s team who does not give everything he has every minute. Too much credit cannot be given Coaches White and Rich for the showing of our team this year. COACH EDMUND RICH Coach Rich ' s first year as varsity coach r)roved a great success to the school, to the team, and to Mr. Rich himself He devel- oped a championship team, which was one of the most powerful machines that this city has ever seen. Besides having an of- fense of great power, its defense was pierc- ed for only one touchdown. All of this speaks well for Mr. Rich. Coach Rich ' s team, like himself, made a reputation for playing smart football. By his hard work and unceasing effort, Mr. Rich gain- ed many friends, admirers, and support- ers, the most staunch of whom is his own team. COACH DAVE RIDDERHOFF Coach Ridderhoff , captain of Oxy ' s foot- ball team last year, had charge of light- weight football, and proved to be one of the best liked coaches we have ever had at L. A. He turned out a fighting team which seemed infected with its coach ' s pep and enthusiasm. Credit should here be given to Ed. Bailie, who helped Coach Ridderhoff ma- terially by coaching the second team light- weights. Looking Backward L. A. started out this year with a determination to put and end to the ties for tlie championship and win a clear title to the coveted city honor. She began with a hang, defeating Hollywood. The next w-eek she gave Manual Arts a drubbing she won ' t soon forget. There then came two easy games with the coaches pointing the team towards the Poly game. Poly was our stumbling block last year, tieing us 7-7 for the championship. This year the coaches, the team, and the school decided L. A. wasn ' t going to stumble again. Stumble she did, but she saved herself and beat Poly, hringing the untarnished title to L. A. after two years of ties. This was L. A. ' s third consecu- tive year without a defeat. As a climax to the season the championship team made a new record in the city league, scoring 165 poins to her oponents ' 7; an average of 3.3 per game. L. A. had a backfield this year in Moffatt. Moses, Almada and Smith that was to high school football circles what the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame were to college football. Her backfield would be a credit to any All City team. No backfield, how- ever, is worth a thing without a good line, Captain Tappaan had and helped form a line almost equal to our backfield with Lyons and Coyle, Haynes and McOmber on his side of the line and DeFord, Galloway, and Pendergrass on the other side, with Rotherl in the middle. Coaches Rich and White deserve an abundance of credit in turning out the fastest, most powerful and clever team in the history of L. A.  I Prospects for 1 926 Varsity L. A. loses her complete championship team. This means she ' ll have to form an entirely new one in every respect. But with the L. A. fight and spirit, and the ability of the coaches coupled with the help of the student body, this ought not be an impossible task. By graduation the team loses Captain Franny Tappaan and the four horsemen, Don Moses, Phil MofFatt, Louie Almada and Theo. Smith. The other men going are Lee Pendergrass, Bill DeFord, Les Coyle. Harlow Rothert, Clark Galloway, Jack Lyons, Bus Stock, Ed. Waddleton and Shane McOmber. The men coming up to fill these vacancies are Haynes, the only returning letterman, who is a guard or end; Thomsen. center; Phelps, guard; Horgan, half, and men from the second team and lightweight squad. All indications at the present look for next year to be a case of what L. A. fight can do. I t The Players Claude Cunningham. -Bus proved to be a manager worthy o£ our championship team Very lew people realize the work and responsibility o£ a manager. Every night he was out helping the players and aiding the coaches. Bus was a wonder, the kind who is very seldom found. He never had to be told to do anything: he always had it done. L. A. also owes a great deal to Bus ' s assistants. Berke Anthony. Chet Newton. and Gil Bowen. Francis Tappaan. Frannv was the captain of L. A. ' s championship team this year and unanimous choice and captain of the All City team. Tappaan has an excep- tional knowledge of the rules, which is a requisite of a good captain. He is one ot the finest tackles ever turned out at L. A. Frannv was a well liked leader, and the fine spirit and morale of the team seemed embodied in its captain. Donald Moses. Don was a valuable all around man. He made all-city half for the second consecutive time. Don is big and the hardest man in the city to stop. He was also one of the best punters in the league, and for interference he had no equal. Phil Moffatt. Last vear ' s lightweight captain and halfback, Phil turned out to be the best quarter in the city, making the mythical All City eleven. With his brains, his passing and running, he wrought general havoc with the opposing teams. Harlow Rothert. Harlow played regular center and subbed lor Smith at fullback. At either position he covered himself with glory. He starred at full in the Jefferson game and his defensive work was excellent all season. Louie Almada. Louie played half, and besides being the most accurate passer in the citv he was one of the shiftiest ball carriers in the city loop Louie was a triple threat man and one of the most feared men on our team. He made the second all city team, but if anyone deserved to make the first, it was Louie. All the city ne spapels except one placed him on their first All City Team. William DeFord. Bill was on e of our many good seconds on the squad and made the second 11 Citv Team. Very seldom, if ever, a play got around him; on offense his man never made the tackle. Besides this. Bill snagged passes with regularity all season, Lee Pendergrass, Pendv was All City guard this season, and with Tappaan formed the nucleus of the strongest line in the city. He always opened up a hole on offense and on defense he was a bear. Theopolis Smith. Theo, the Black in Blue, played fullback to perfection this vear He was always good for the needed yard, and it is a shame for L. A. and ilieo that he suffered from a badlv in.iured leg all season, but it is lucky lor the opposing teams. Theo was renowned for his ability to run interference and rip holes m the enemy line. Leslie Coyle. Le has an ideal buikl for a football player, and he was one of the best guards in the city this year. He played low and had a very persistent habit ot stopping plays before they formed. Clark Galloway. Clark played our tackle and was a fit mate for our captain, tain. He is big and fast and a hard man to get around, or over. Jacl Lyons. Jack was our star miler last year and played end on this year ' s var- sity. He was not a flashy player, but always did what was expected— and a little bit more. Harold Stock. Buster was the fastest man on the squad, and played end. He was a sure man on passes: and besides playing a good defensive end. he was a consistent punter. Edward Waddleton. Ed plaved center, and was one ot the scrappiest men on the team. He took Harlow ' s place when he played full, and filled it to everyone s satis- faction. Shane McOmber. Shane improved steadily all year at end. and in the Poly game his playing was especially good in the second half. He is big and strong and a hard man for opposing backs to take out. Ralph Havnes. Ralph plaved guard and end this season, and is the only returning letferman. He p ' ayed end in the Poly game, and it is greatly due to him that Moftatt had holes to go through in that game.

Hollywood On October 30, before 8,000 rabid fans, Hollywood, the conqueror of Manual, met its downfall at the hands of Coach Eddie Rich ' s Romans, 28-0. This was Coach Rich ' s debut into city league circles as a heavyweight coach, and his team brought him de- served credit. The first quarter was fairly even, with Moses having a little edge on the punts, until Meeks, trying to kick from behind his own goal line, was forced to run because of a bad pass from center. Coyle downed him on his four-yard line, giving the ball to L. A. A plunge by Smith and a punch by Almada and L. A. had her first touch- down. Louie converted. The first play of the second quarter, Moffatt, behind perfect interference, ran 65 yards to a touchdown. Alamada converted, giving L. A. a lead of 14-0. For the next ten minutes L. A. had a chance to show her defense, getting near enough only once for Almada to attempt a 35-yard place kick, which failed. Hollywood, however, found a line which proved to be an unpregnable stone wall in Lyons, Captain Tappaan and Coyle on one side, and DeFord, Galloway and Pendergrass on the other side, with Smith and Rothert backing them up. Near the end of the halt, L. A. started a march down the field with Moses, Smith and Almada carrying the ball 45 yards in iwo minutes. Louie finally took the ball over. He then converted, making the score 21-0 in favor of L. A. as the half ended. In the third quarter the back field, led by Moses, went through Hollywood almost at will. A recovered fumble by Captain Tappaan gave L. A. the ball on Hollywood ' s 15- yard line. A buck by Theo for S yards and a pass, Almada to Hendershot, gave L. A. her last score. Moses converted. In the fourth quarter the second string went in and more than held her own against Hollywood ' s red shirts. The star of the game was the L. A. high football team with Captain Tappaan and the backleld leading the way. Around Tappaan and Pendergrass. L. A. had a line that held Hollywood to two first downs and cleared the way for L. A. ' s backfield. Our ends, heretofore untested and supposedly the weakest part of our line, showed up extraordinarily well. DeFord. especially, was a pleasant surprise, although he was taken from the game in the second quarter with a bad cut in his head. Smith and Moses showed up as consistant ground gainers and as interference, but Louie Almada proved to be the potential scoring power of the combination. Moffatt showed himself to be an able leader for our backfield with a brainy head, and a pair of shifty feet. L. A. 2S. Hollywood n. Don st,irtiii(j h L. A. vs. Manual Our annual battle with Manual was held at the Coliseum November 6, where Manual tasted the worst defeat L. A. has given her in years. The team seemed to have a little difficulty in getting started, but in five minutes, after a 35-yard run by Moses and gains by Almada and Moffat. Theo. Smith plunged over from the 4-yard line with our first touchdown; Almada missed the goal. Manual then kicked off to Almada. who returned the ball to the 35-yard line. On the next play Moses, on an off-tackle play ran through the whole Manual team 65 yards to a touchdown. There were at least six Manual men who had Moses in their clutches but couldn ' t stop hmi. Almada converted. Score 13-0. . The second quarter started the big parade, with Moses, who was runnmg wild, as the leader. The backfield carried the ball 70 yards in three minutes, w,th Smith going over with the third touchdown. Almada failed to convert. Manual again kicked off and Moffatt returned to the 25-yard line: in four plays L. t ' l htrneuU SO yards Moses ran 10 yards and then was on the receiving end of a pass I ' J ' f f j ' Moffatt carried the ball 10 yards and then a pass.

A. met Jefferson on the Manual Arts ' tanbark for the first football game be- tween the two institutions since 1923. Jefferson proved but little opposition for L. A. ' s steam roller, being overcome 35-0. Harlow Rothert, last year ' s lightweight fullback antl center on this year ' s varsity, was shifted to fullback in this game because of Smith ' s injured leg. Harlow was Jef- ferson ' s Nemesis. He went through their line from 5 to 20 yards time and time again, scoring three touchdowns. Waddleton, who took Rothert ' s place at center, played a very good game. Moses, Almada, and Moffatt all played their usual stellar games. One touchdown resulted from a pass, Almada to Moses. Moses had a mania for Jefferson ' s passes: he would grab them out of the air Just before they would have settled in the arms of a Jeffersonian. Captain Tappaan played his usual Rock of Gibraltar game, and Jefferson had little luck trying to pound any other part of our line, although they circled our end all too many times. The second team started the last half and finished the game. The shock troops held Jefferson to a standstill and scored one touchdown when Emanuel Thompsen, center, picked up a fumbled punt and ran 35 yards for a touchdown. Alexander, Cohn, and Horgan starred in the cecond team ' s offense. Final score: L. A. 35, Jefferson 0. s of his pleasure trips. He didn ' t stop here. L. A. vs. Franklin L. A. journeyed to Franklin for her fourth football game of the year, which turned out to be a slow game and a poor exhibition of football. L. A. kicked off to Franklin, and in four downs Franklin had carried the ball from her own 20-yard line to L. A. ' s 30-yard line, but here they stopped, content ing them- selves with this little spurt for the rest of the game. In the middle of the first quarter Smith plunged over for a touchdown, and Almada converted. In the second quarter L. A. scored again as a result of a Franklin fumble on her own 20-yard line; Almada took the l)all over. Franklin was offside on the next play; this gave L. A. her extra point. Just before the end of the half Moffatt scored, and Almada failed to convert. Score 20-0. The first team played such ragged ball that the coaches left them in the game, but the second half they played in better style. Smith starred for L. A., if anybody could claim the honor. He carried the ball over after a 25-yard plunge through the middle of the line; Almada converted. A little while after the start of the fourth quarter, Almada ran 25 yards for a touchdown. The extra point was scored on a pass, Almada to Stock. About three minutes later Moses carried the ball over, but failed to convert. Score was 39-0. Almada scored again after a Franklin fumble, and Moffatt converted. With about a minute to play, after runs by Moses and Moffatt. Almada plunged over with the last score: his trusty toe made the final point. Final score. L. A. 54, Franklin. (I. L. A. vs. Polytechnic Before 50.000 eager fans. L. A. and Poly fought their traditional battle at the Coliseum on Thanksgiving day. This battle annually draws more attention than any other high school game in the country. Last year Poly and L. A. tied for the city championship. This year L. A. was again playing against Poly to win the coveted title. Poly, with one of her strongest teams in years, but bearing a blurred record of one defeat, was out to upset the dope and win. With this as a goal, combined with the tradition of the two schools at stake, the football world looked to see a battle royal: and it was not disappointed, for the game turned out to be the fastest ever played at the Coliseum. L. A. kicked to Poly, and the ball was returned to the 25-yaid line. Our line proved too strong for Polytechnic ' s heavy backs, and she was forced to punt. On L. A. ' s first play Moses fumbled, giving Poly the ball on our 25-yard line. Again our line held, and the ball came back to L. A. On the next play Almada made five yards. Moses hurt his knee; his fight and pluck, however, kept him playing. After two exchanges of punts L. A. had the ball in the center of the field. Almada made 5 yards, and then Moses made 20 yards on a reverse. Smith made 10 more, but there L. A. stopped as the quarter ended. Early in the second quarter Rothert took Smith ' s place. Theo ' s leg was badly hurt, and -Waddleton went in at center. After another exchange of punts, Alexander replaced Moses as halfback because the tendons which held Moses ' knee in place were strained, and all the supporting ligaments were torn. This fact, however, failed to quell Don ' s fighting spirit, and he went in the second half and played the remainder of the game. The whole team ' s spirit was exemplified in Moses. Pendergrass, and Smith. It seems that Poly found herself all at once, and in two runs of 40 yards each bv Murphy and Stephen, she carried the ball from her own 4-yard line to L. A. ' s 15-yard line. Here DeFord and Lyons went in at ends, but Poly made first down, giving her four chances to make four yards. A buck by Murphy netted two yards; two more downs put the ball six inches from the goal, and Lauterman plunged over. Stevens converted, making the score 7-0 in favor of Poly. Poly then kicked off to L. A., and Moffatt opened up with passes which failed, although the receivers had them m their arms but dropped them. Rothert punted to Stevens, who ran the ball back 30 yards to L. A. ' s 30-yard line. At this point Stock went in for Lyons, and Pendergrass for Medley. An injury to Pendy ' s elbow had kept him from starting, but with his arm in a wire cast he went in and played the rest of the game, showing the same L. A. fight that Moses had exhibited. Poly attempted a drop kick after a 6-yard loss, but it was unsuccessful. A pass, Almada to DeFord. gained 35 yards as the half ended. Poly 7, L. A. 0. The second half started with a very determined team representing L. A. Poly kicked off: and after an exchange of punts, L. A. had the ball on the 50-yard line. A series of off-tackle bucks bv Moffat and Almada with our two injured horsemen, Moses and Smith giving wonderful interference, brought the ball to the 10-yard line, where Poly held for three downs. Then a cleverly delayed, well concealed pass. Moffat to lmada resulted in a touchdown after a run of 7 yards by Louie. A dead silence fell over the stands. Would Almada convert or would he miss? His trusty toe made the score 7-7. Polv kicked off to L. A., and again she started marching down the field. This time Moffatt ' carried the brunt of the attack. Almost single handed our doughty little quar- terback carried the ball down the field to the winning touchdown. Due credit must be given Tappaan. Haynes, and Pendergrass for opening up holes and the spl endid interfer- ence of Don and Theo. Louie again converted, giving L. A. a lead of 14-.. Polv again kicked off to L. A., and Moffatt kicked on first down. Here Poly opened up with a fiock of passes in hopes of scoring, which were all in vain. L. A_ s backfield was too deadly in knocking down passes. A punt by Stevens ga% vtrtorv ball on her 10-yard line, and after two plays the gun sounded, giving L. A. a Mctory and— the championship! - , • Moffatfs work at quarter was the feature of the game, while Louie Almada did wonderful work at help ng Moffatt carry the attack, as neither Smith nor Moses could earn the ball. Too much credit cannot be given to Moses. Pendergrass and Smith, aU of whom played practically the whole game with serious injuries.

It is a known fact that the second team makes the first team, and realizing what our varsitv was this vear, we should be generous in praise ol O Brien s cohorts. The fellows on this squad deserve extra credit tor staying out with nothing but hard work and knocks looking them in the face all season. The team plaved no regular schedule of games but gave most of their time to scrimmage with the first team. Coach O Bnen arranged games with Fairfax, which resulted in favor of L. A., 32-2 ; Roo.seNelt which tied them 6-3, and Belmont, the Junior League champions, which was defeated by the O ' Brien organization, 13-12. , , , The fellows on the squad were: Stern, Young, Qu.nn Fletcher, Gloge, Settlage, Hansen, Clutterbuck, Thomas, Hart Colby Parle, Moodv, Hunter, Budge, Hampton. Fay, Newton O ' Brien (coach), Bowen and Baily, managers, and Gonzales, water boy. Lightweight Coach Ridderhoff built a lightweight team this year which, though it did not win the championship, made a very creditable show- ing. In the last game of the season L. A. gave Poly a drubbing when Poiy was all set for a lightweight championship. Captain Al Luckett was a fighting captain and the best tackle in the league. WoUitz and Wright, the two first string centers, were injured all season, but Woods, who took their place, played well, especially in the Poly game. Morris and Jones were regular guards, while Black- man and Blackmore subbed for them and played good games. Jame- son. Hicks, Nims, and Grigsby were speedy ends, and Cliif Orm was an- other fighting tackle. The backfield was composed of Behymer. a utility man: Cassidy a Grange at running back punts; Munoz and Owen, speedy halfbacks, good men in an open field, and Di Giorgio, a plung- ing fullback. The games and their results are as follows: L. A. 7, Hollvwood 6. L. A. 18, Manual 0. T.. A. 0, Jefi ' erson 7. L. A. 6, Franklin 7. L. A. 14, Poly 6. 1 1 lb.

Cy Maddox. who plaved quarter and captained the team, was the star of this pocket-size organization. His illness was keenly felt when he could not plav in the Poly game. Pete Brown, center, who was act- ing captain in the Poly game, played a consistent brand of ball, as did Francisco at half. Hunt, Poser and Mulhaup held down the wing positions, while at tackles were Hirsh. Norton, and Jones. Williams, Jones, and Thompson, along with Brown held down the center of the line. In the backtie cl were Maddox, captain and quarterback; Francisco and Lasmen at halt- backs, and Bever at full. The result of the games was as follows: L. A. 6, Huntington Park 0. L.

Eddie has the ability to get the best out of his men, and we are depending on him, Mr. White, and Louie Almada to bring L. A. another championship. . Eddie Sullivan is our track captain, and though he is small, he is mighty. Eddie ought to prove to be the best broad jumper in the city this year and one of the best sprinters.

Basketball At this time of the season, it is ditRcult to foretell L. A. ' s chances in basketball. However, at the present time prospects are rather bright for a championship under the tutelage of Mr. Hemsath and Captain Jaques, the latter being a born leader. Jaques looks to be the class of the city at running guard. A col- lege coach was once heard to say that Eber Jaques was the best high school guard he had ever seen. At forward are Breer, last year ' s varsity forward, and Baurmeister. At center is Art Kussman, who played center on last year ' s varsity. Help- ing Captain Jaques at guard is Henry Walbot.
