The Valley of Olympia In silence sleeps, no sound of fray: Still in its name the races meet In international play. And beauty was the soul of Greece — Her monuments with ages grey, Her thoughts in words more beautiful Than modern tongue could say. Lo, Greece is dead, but beauty lives. The soul of her will reign for aye; And from Olympia ive take Great heritage today.

But we should quiclvly see that these are but a part and indeed the smaller part of our present possessions. Our larger wealth is intangible. It consists of institutions, customs, traditions, governmental sys- tems, artistic, religious and ethical concepts, scientific data and theories, discovered truth in all fields of thought, knowledge of the laws of nature and of human life, ideas, ideals. That this body of intangible wealth is incomparably more valuable than all our material possessions is obvious when we remember that the latter were produced but yesterday, are intended for the most part for immediate consumption, and when con- sumed will be readily replaced. If some sweeping disaster should befall our material wealth, our intellectual resources would enable us to repair the evil. We have been able to produce this material wealth because we had this intellectual equipment. Now the significant fact is that this great volume of intangible wealth is largely an inheritance from the past. Doubtless our own generation has made large con- tributions to it; and it is also true that much of what has come down to us is found to be useless and must be discarded. But when full allowance is made for both these elements, the fact remains that we owe the great bulk of our intangible wealth to former generations. Other men labored and we are entered into their labors. There is little exaggeration in the apostle ' s indignant question, What hast thou that thou didst not receive? We are the heirs of all the ages. But our inheritance, made up as it is of con- tributions from various peoples, and races, is to us an undivided whole. We are not concerned to disentangle the various strands and to trace each to the source from which it came. Nor could we do so in every case if we tried. The strands seem inextricably interwoven, and we often find ourselves unable to say of this or that strand that it is definitely the gift of this or that people. But in the principal elements of our civilization we easily recognize the characteristics of the races from whom they were derived, and in fact the historic line of descent can usually be traced with sufficient certainty. And in no instance are the characteristics more easily identified and the line of descent more clearly marked than in the case of the ancient Greeks. No thought- ful person can doubt that our debt to this people is very great, both on account of the endless variety and also the inestimable worth of their gifts to us. Some of tliese the reader will find set forth in the following pages. But if an attempt had been made to tell all that we owe to the Greeks, many volumes like the present one would have proved wholly inadequate. WALTER A.

FACULTY - Principal Ernest Warner Oliver Mfo Oliveir s M©§§ag© To the Winter Class ot 1932: Tills semester the Faculty, the Student Body and the alumni have been made most happy by the completion of our adequate and beautiful swimming pool. Before leaving our former location on Fort Moore Hill, as early as 1913 and 1914 plans were laid by the Student Body lor the setting aside ot a fund which, with compound interest, would develop into a sum sufficiently large for the construction of a swimming pool. Eminent authorities on physical education are unanimous in the belief Uiat swimming is one of the finest exercises in the development of health. Cement bleachers, large enough to accommodate our entire Student Body, were also completed this semester from accumulated Student Body funds. Because Los Angeles is to be the scene of the Olympic Games this year, it is most appropriate that this semester ' s Semi-Annual discuss the development of the Olympic Games, which originated during the supremacy of Grecian civilization. It is well to remember that art, literature, oratory and debating were honored as well as physical prowess in the early days of the Olympic Games. The very (act that our own honor scholarship society is called Periclean adds interest to our study of the age of Pericles. With very best personal regards to the members of the Winter Class of 1932, the ninety-eight graduating class in the history ot our school, I am. Sincerely yours. - - iQt j - f 18 Miss Wolvertoe s Dear Class of Winter ' 32: We respect the Greeks for their sane emphasis of the golden mean. We look to you to help our own age toward that fine ideal. Nothing in excess. Always vour friend. Vice principal Sarah Foss Wolvtrton WIto Noble s M©§§aie Winter Class of •32: Many of the ideals of ancient Greece, at the time of the first Olympiads, may well he copied by our modern youth. Individual perfection, both physical and mental, was the goal sought by the Greeks. The average citizen was a persistent seeker after truth, and was able to debate with the scholars on any subject. The graduate of today, like- wise, should try to develop every latent talent. He should go out from his school determined to strive for all that is best both for himself and his country.

Principal 23 Admmmistiratioe The winter of 1932 has seen the Los Angeles High School continue to expand and grow despite a loss of prospective students as a result of the recently built Alexander Hamilton High. During the semester, 3784 pupils attended L. A. High School, the lar- gest number ever enrolled in a winter term. Of this total, 1972 were girls; and 1812, boys. A Faculty of 147 instructors taught varied and diversified subjects in fourteen de- partments, together with the R. O. T. C. unit and the school library. The Physical Education department led all the rest in the total number of enrollment, the figure for October being 3540 students daily. 1885 of this number were girls, and 1655 were boys. Next in point of size was the English department with 3179 pupils while Social Science came next with 2756. Included in the English total were 109 students in news- paper classes. The Language department followed with a total of 2128 as follows: Span- ish, 1073; French, 522; Latin, 465; German, 61; and Greek, 7. The remaining depart- ments enrolled the following numbers: Mathematics, 1603; Commercial, 1537; Biology and Science, 1465; Music, 907; Art, 784; Chemistry. 644; Home Economics, 537; Me- chanics Arts, 396; Physics, 271; R. O. T. C, 221; and Library, 97. Included under Me- chanic Arts were electric shop, linotyping, cabinet, and printing. No report of the administration of the school would be complete without mention of the personnel department, a system unique in the city school system and entirely efficient in action. The Faculty members of the department work in an advisory ca- pacity to the entire Student Body, divided alphabetically. Two great improvements featured this semester at L. A. High, the long awaited swimming pool, and the new concrete bleachers. The approximate total cost of the two is $80,000; three fourths of that sum being expended upon the pool, and the other fourth upon the bleachers. Ground was broken for the pool four weeks before the beginning of school; and its completion date is expected to be about January first. The bleachers were first used at the traditional L. A.-Poly game of 1931 by the Los Angeles Student Body. Additional features of this pool, which is built to meet the requirements of Olympic Games competition, are the passages from each gym building, and the special bleach- ers, seating 500 persons. Temporary bleachers may also be erected to seat an addi- tional 500 whenever necessary. The pool will be available to the entire Student Body according to a regular schedule just the same as any other part of the gymnasium. The concrete bleachers, facing the new turf field from the east will seat 3300 per- sons, and together with the old will accomodate 8800. The addition of temporary stands will augment the total capacity to 10,000. -In reviewing these achievements, the aspirations of past years, we find much for which to be thankful, and sincerely express appreciation to all those who have made possible such gigantic undertakings and added opportunities. PWWVTTPTTWWWWW tttm t tt t kiintttttiiiin 111! till 24 iTUDENT •G o - V J Fire§id©eit § M©§§ai© Fellow students: The Olympic Games were foremost In the moulding of the character and intellect of the ancient Greeks. The art and literature of those ancients reflect the importance of these games in their lives. They had an ideal which they constantly attempted to attain; this was physical perfection. Today we take the study of the early Olympics for our theme. We, too, like the early Greeks, have our ideals which are reflected in our school. If they be high, our school flourishes. If they be low, our school crumbles to dust. We live and strive toward our ideals here at L. A. High for three short years. Thei ' e are traditions behind us, and an unknown future before us. Let us live striving ever for the finer side of life, so that we may carry our school to glories never before reached. Among our sources of pride this year is the realization of a swimming pool for L. A., creating school spirit, sportsmanship, and an advancement in physical development. In leaving you, may I take this opportunity to thank you for the splendid co- operation you have shown me this term? If, by chance, we should ever meet on that worn and traveled pathway of life, let us pause for a moment to live again those happy school days at L. A. High. Always your friend, BILL WOODARD nu ll ' l ' g WWII w WWWW HWW 26 Betty Bradley William Qnadc Divisaoe Fr©§ideet§ Messages To my friends the Romans: As the Greeks lived and flourished, so also may the Romans live and progress. The Greeks and their works ot art will remain forever in the minds of men, but with each graduating class, many Romans join the ranks of those forgotten by the students they leave behind. My most sincere wish is that our class, which is inspired by the eariy Greeks, may live in your memories just a while longer than those who have gone before us. We, the Winter Class of ' 32. are leaving you, our schoolmates, to enter into a new sphere of our lives. We are like so many ships sailing into uncharted waters, knowing not where we will end. Our only consolation is that we are taking with us many tender memories of high school, loyal friends, and the happi est days of our lives. And now. as we leave, we say to vou. our friends and companions. Goodbye. BETTY BRADLEY Fellow students: The foremost ideal of the ancient Olympic Games was the perfection of mind and body. Influenced by this ideal, the Greek people attained a high degree of per- fection, both mental and physical. A nation ' s progress is dependent upon the culture and health of its people, as shown by ancient Greece, the leading nation of its time. Our nation, especially in crises like the present, must look to citizens whose ideals, integrity, and determination to maintain high standards, will justify its world leader- ship. In our own school, the training which we receive is preparing us tor true citizen- ship. We must remember that the spirit of L. A. High is reflected in us at all times. Serving such a loyal group of fellows has meant more to me than I am able to express. With deepest appreciation for vour co-operation this semester. I remain. Sincerely yours, BILL QUADE 27 J i Draxy Trengove Kingsland Brown Board Fir©§i(dleet§ Messages Fellow students: The inspiring success of the ancient Olympics was due largely to the justice, efficiency, and co-operation shown by the participants and by those who merely wit- nessed this splendid festival. The Girls ' Senior Board has attempted to relive these sterling characteristics of the ancient Greelvs this semester, justice in decision, effi- ciency in duties, and co-operation with the Student Body of the Los Angeles High School. As we leave our Alma Mater, our activities as seniors become pleasant memories; but we take with us the gratification of our ambitions, and we thank you. Your friend. DRAXY TRBNGOVE Fellow students: The Boys ' Senior Board has striven to promote justice in the administration of student affairs, just as the ideal of justice was foremost in the minds of ancient Greeks in all their undertakings. It has endeavored also to establish a bond of good fellow- ship between the Board and the Student Body. As the reign of the senior class comes to an end. I have the satisfaction of know- ing that the responsibility of upholding its traditions is left to a class that is able to continue the work. At this time, I also wish to thank you for all the wonderful co-operation you have given me.

The cafeteria of our school has one of the best and most modern kitchens of any school in California. Co-operation and efficiency are the by-words of the organization, and these qualities are impressed on the workers by the supervisor, Mrs. Esther A. West. Not only does the cafeteria provide food for the students every day. but the social affairs of the different organizations of the school are often held therein; and many banquets have been prepared. Hearty thanks are extended to the sponsor and her staff of helpers for the good food and service they have given us. 46 Selhool Motto Obedience to law, Respect for others, Mastery of self, Joy in service; These constitute life. i i mm n il 47 L t) Fair festivals and feted feasts, And proud processions, grand and gay, The votive off ' ring to the gods, Lent splendor to the opening day. !Si9j ' S??! ■!???!?; ' ss?51•Js?ra:¥Krtl JKs t H- UJ ' rt ' V :- ' i?4 ' ?v  V ' v ' W R 8 5: ' , ' ' ' ' ' MMkMka i. fiime iivJt,M-- ' i A ' An i ' ......... ;i ' ,-f. v A« H% W!iilJ)K i , ;l ' 4 yii ■ ' .

As we place the great re- sponsibility of the worship of the family ancestors in the hands of the members of that body, we are freeing them forever from the bondage of inferiority and disgrace that accompanies the lowly state of Senior B ' s. To the aforesaid heir, we give a gaping gully that may some day become a great Greek bath. To them, too, the foundation of a mighty stadium we grant, in the hope that they may strive towards a goal of physical perfection, as mucli as is possible to their seriously dwarfed capacity. To the Senior B Council, the maidens, who laave long held aloft the torch of justice, will their unusual athletic ability, as evidenced in the tempestuous tournament of jacks. To the Senior B members of the Boys ' Council, their revered elders leave the sacred slate, and tlie memory of the words of wisdom that have been inscribed upon it in the years that are gone. To the remaining members of the Big L. A. Society, the miglity men who are de- Iiarting. bequeath the momentous test of power, skill, and endurance that comes to every atlilete, the semi-annual dance. To tlie staff of tlie S ' 32 Semi-Annual, business manager Al Hartley deigns to donate the great financial depression. May they treat it kindly! To the maiden who is to record the deeds of the next generation. Clara Scott leaves her ability to quote three Greek phrases incorrectly. To the succeeding head of the family. Bill Woodard leaves the privilege of using those stirring words which have been the honored heritage that has come down to us from our forefathers, You are now dismissed to your third period classes. To the next pedagogue of the Big Brothers and Sisters. Bill Quade bequeaths his ability to practice what he preaches. To Joy Bierlich. Betty Bradley, beloved of the Goddess Venus, gives the magic mirror of the Student Body office, whicli has been looked upon with pleasure by the loveliest of our maidens. To the next president of the Council, Draxy Trengove leaves the much worn oaken gavel, the symbol of lier authority over tlie evil doers of our democracy. To tlie next leader of the Boys ' Council, King Brown gives his silent and stern dignity, born, we fear, of bashfulness. To Maury Grossman. Johny Miles leaves the latest in Greek haircuts, symbolic of Jolinny ' s own inbred originality. To the next president of the Star and Crescent Society, Jim Getz has the high pleasure of bequeathing the myriad trials and tribulations of the office which he has filled with majesty and decorum. To the sponsors of the Class of S ' 32, Miss Adams and Miss Champion wish to leave tlieir heartfelt sympathy for the task which they are about to undertake. As to the disposal of the corpse; we beg only one simple farewell procession, be- fitting the sweet humility that has always characterized our actions in the Los Angeles High School, before burial beneath the weightier importance of the college and business world. This is the last will and testament of the Class of W ' 32 ere it passes on to a glorious future life. CLASS OF W ' 32 Witnesses: John Miles: President Earle Frazler: Vice president Frances Brown : Secretary Frank Hughes: Treasurer 93 T- Class Proplheey Once again the sacred oracle of Delphi has spoken. On the seventh day of the first month of the year 1932, there was gathered at the shrine of Apollo an heroic little band whose name is known through all of Rome and Greece as the Winter ' 32 graduating class of Los Angeles High. After purifying themselves with hallowed water from the famous Roman baths and crowning their heads with olive garlands, the noble group entered the sacred chambers of the oracle, there to inquire into their future. But first it was necessary to offer up a sacrifice to Apollo. Clem Glass was nominated for this office, but the gods are particular; and so it was decided to sacrifice Roy Man for the cause of the class of Winter ' 32. This done, the priestess mounted the bronze tripod, over the crack in the earth, from whence arose cold vapour which would enable her to see into the future. Bill Quade stepped forth to question her. Immediately, she fell into a violent fit, caused no doubt by the presence of Mr. Quade. Bill Woodard hoisted himself to the top of the conical stone that marks the center of the earth, (It was whispered that he felt more natural there) and listened for the next words of the priestess. But the maiden only screamed the louder. Only after the sacred chambers had been cleared of all unnecessary obstacles, were the wild cries of the priestess stilled. Slowly she began to chant: I see before me a host of people toiling, washing, sweeping, and scrubbing. Wally Stanford, Meyer Grossman, Paul Moon, Harold Adelquist, Donald Prest, and Laurie Bolotin are being ruthlessly driven by Dick Bastheim. They are street cleaners! Ah, it is punishment, just punishment, for three years of carelessness at L. A. High. There was a stir among the crowd as the guilty ones filed out to pick up the papers they had strewn along the way. The priestess continued in tones filled with emotion. The little girls with the bags of jacks that stand before me. A glorious future for Jean Mitchell, jack champion of the world. And all hail, Donna Whitehorn, her manager. The voice of the priestess rose to a wail. Frank Hughes, the professor of first year Greek at Los Angeles High. What a shame he neglected to prepare the second year too! The sobs of the priestess changed to a scornful laugh as her gaze wandered to Al Hartley. And you, business manager of Child Life. How could you after being a member of the wonderful Winter ' 32 Semi-Annual staff? The priestess pointed to Earle Frazier and Maxine Smith who were arranging their olive wreaths once more with the aid of a mirror. With so many years of prac- tice, you should in time become expert hair dressers. Her voice became a gentle, dreamy murmur as Frances Brown and Jane Miller stepped before her. I see you sitting together, with your twelve canary birds for company. Harken, I hear sweet music. They are whistling and you are both singing, ' Just One More Chance. ' 94 ■i« B.Mmm Before me rises the prosperous firm of Compere and Allen, beauty experts, spe- cializing in curly wigs and dark eye lashes. Many are their patrons. Another picture, on board the battleship Alaska! Jack Waggoner presides over the barber shop patronized day and night by Johnny Miles. The air was rent by a sob from the priestess. What a hair cut! Her sobs grew louder so that she was unable to continue. Finally, she was carried weeping from the room, and another priestess mounted the tripod over the deep crack. As the cold vapours enveloped her, the future was unfolded before her eyes. There is opened before me a book published in 1952 revealing the past of each and every member of the class of Winter ' 32. All hail to Sophie Sherman, brilliant authoress. A wild cry of anger broke from the lips of every member present. We must never let this happen. Never. Several particular wrathful individuals, Phil O ' Neil, Virginia Arth, Italja Terrile, Edwin Rosenthal, Bonita Binnard, Iris Munyon, and Bill Gardner took part in chasing Sophie from the room. She fled down the narrow road that leads from Delphi to the sea. Close behind ran the wild eyed group. Suddenly down the highway from the opposite direction came Fred Sedgwick, speeding along in a model A chariot. In the contusion that followed. Sophie escaped. So the party returned empty handed to listen to the priestess. She was talking in a low steady voice. Ah, many are the pictures I see before me. There is George Thomas still en- joying his long so.journ at Junior College. Long may he reign! There is Ethel Block teaching tennis at L. A. High. There are Florence Isgur. Ruth Bogardus. and Lois Leavy who are also teachers. Even now, I can see them building houses for the dear little Senior B ' s. And who is the handsome young man I see before me? It is King Brown, eon- ducting a class of deaf and dumb people. Suddenly the voice of the priestess rose to a shriek. An array of dazzling white lights rises before me. Her cries grew so violent that it was almost impossible to understand her. Another Hollywood premier. It is the opening night of Wass and Strauss ' s latest movie production. The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew. Three cheers for Bob Brunner in the role of Ben Pepper, Joe Richardson as Joel Pepper, Bob Bosshard as Davy, Yvonne King as Polly Pepper, and Rayola Weitzel as Phronsie. Margarita Bergstrom is Mrs. Pepper; Walt Hoefflin, the handsome Jasper King; and Wade Bennet, the irate Mr. King. What a stupendous production. With such a fine cast it is worth almost the admission price of 15 cents. Gradually the cavern grew darker and darker. The cold vapours, rising from the sacred crack, enveloped the tiny band of heroic adventurers in a clammy cloak. Suddenly there was a triumphant cry. At last I see it all. Ah, woe Is me! The great war is still being fought in India between the mighty Senior A ' s. known throughout the whole world for their unusual intelligence, and the Senior B ' s. How sad. how sad, the Senior B ' s are winning. But no wonder! There are 564 home grown coconuts to be used as ammuni- tion in the possession of the Senior B ' s and not a single one in the po ssession of the intelligent Senior A ' s.

' itvift ' ' t - f ir Editoosils A i-rown of wild olive was the only material reward of the ancient Olympian victor, but there was another prize nobler and greater than any physical token. Henceforth, all men honored him. Poets sang of his victory, and all Greece listened. When he returned triumphant to his own city, the admiring people tore down the wall so that he might enter where no man had gone before. Greater than the honors of men were those of the gods. The victor had given his best at the altar of the Olympian Zeus, and now the blessings of the supreme diety were upon him. Above all. in his own heart, there was the deep content that comes of a task well done. The modern Olympian winner has gained even a greater victory. He has com- peted against the finest men of every nation and has triumphed over all. His fame is spread not merely around the Mediterranean world, but throughout every civilized nation today. To him is given a medal of gold, which like the olive wreath, is a symbol of the ideals of victory. On him there are also bestowed the honor and praise of his fellowmen. But neither of these rewards is complete in itself. If he would gain a true victory, the modern winner, like the ancient Greek, must hold in his heart the ,ioy that conies of a deed well done. CLARA SCOTT Editor-in-chief Ancient Greece, as every history student knows, was weak as a nation. Kach independent Grecian city-state strove (or individual glory, regardless of others except in times of actual warfare. And yet. these same small city-states achieved separately, in certain respects, a superlative degree of perfection which has never since been equaled. In the pursuit of truth, and in the simple dignity of art and architecture, the states of Greece reached a height never since approximated by mortal men. Does it not appear significant that a people so advanced should be, at the same time, foremost in the glorification of athletics? It seems very logical that whole- some body building, as promoted in the ancient Olympic Games, tended to produce wholesomeness and simplicity in the Greek thought. Ideals, and artistic expression. These games also produced, if not peace, a sense of balance in the inter-state re- lationships, a condition which would otherwise have been lacking. Centuries have elapsed. The Grecian Olympics are no more. And now it appears that we are upon the threshold of a new athletic era, chiefly due to the inauguration of the modern Olympic Games. Simultaneously, the world is finding itself beset with fear of hesitation, doubt and uncertainty. Governments are commencing to realize their own instability. A sense of balance and proportion is the crying need of the nations today. Can we not use as a stabilizing force, our re-incarnated spirit of athle- tics? May we not maintain our fast dwindling sense of equilibrium by the proper use of the modern Olympics, our heritage from ancient Greece? The world is in a state of unrest. It is for us. the rising generation, to alleviate this condition. May we remember the example set in ancient times and make our decisions and perform our duties with the poise which comes of an athletically minded people. May we again know the glory that was Greece! ALFRED HARTLEY Business manager 101 Editorials GODS The world was young, and glorious was Greece, And in the Golden Age to Zeus she paid High homage. At his feet famed gifts she laid. His rule was might and wrath, but never peace. Full fair a temple in Olympia rose To do him honor. Feted games were played. With care, to do his will all men essayed Because they feared. No man dared him oppose. The valley of Olympia is still. Where men, by might made glorious, once trod. There stand lone ruins beneath a hallowed hill, A broken tribute to a broken god. Today men worship, praise with games of skill The God of Peace. He reigns with love ' s sure rod. IDA IWAY COMPERE Assistant editor-in-chief For our extensive knowledge of the ancient Greeks, we can give most of our thanks to the generous artists of their period, a period in art second to none in history. Tr the Greeks, no creative work was permissable which did not show some traces o ' . ' art. even to the most remote piece of kitchen ware. And not only was Greek art pro- lific, but versatile, representing almost every branch, including architecture, painting, sculpturing, costuming, and pottery, all of which have a definite influence on their respective phases in our modern life. So one can see how important their art was in leaving a clear history for the later world to read. Our knowledge of their every- day life, including their fighting tactics, athletic contests, and home life, we have derived from thousands of fragmentary vases and utensils, beautifully painted and decorated. Our knowledge of their religious festivals and ceremonies, we owe to their sculptors of statues and friezes about their temples and public buildings. In these and numerous other ways, almost every phase of Greek life has been developed for us. Because of this fact, we can attribute most of our knowledge of the ancient Greeks, and give most of our thanks, to her generous and inspired artists. ROY DONLEY Art editor In Greece, the ancient home of supreme and tolerant education, were born the Olym- pic Games. Their origin is still buried in antiquity, but their purpose is known today. Because of the proximity of the city-state, it was necessary for every citizen to be prepared to engage in combat without a moment ' s notice. It is thus obvious why the Greek ' s body was of equal importance with his intellect, and that only by this physical and mental advancement, were the men themselves glorified. The games and contests furthered this physical development, as did the spirit of fair play, engendered by them, serve to promote higher morality among the athletes. We have developed our games with somewhat the same interests. Let us give to these ancient peoples the respect and glory that should be theirs. We should remember that all our modern games and contests have been derived from those held so long ago, setting before us such splendid ideals of true sportsmanship and equality. To show our gratitude for this heritage of true game spirit, we must acknowledge the founders by educating ourselves through reading and research and by continuing to uphold their all-inspiring ideals. JEAN MITCHELL Senior A editor 102 ' K.Jmk Every fourth year in the life of the Greeks occurred an event of peace and national understanding, the Olympic games. At other times, the Greeks were engaged in petty wars and feuds among themselve.s; but on the fourth year, they forgot their difference.s and united in a peaceful state. Each small Greek state sent its best men to compete in the games. These contests permitted the Greeks to know one another as human beings, all striving for the same goal; thus a friendly feeling was fostered among the contestants. Had Greece been able to carry this same idea of friendly contact into her government, she might have been able to withstand the onslaught of her enemies and to retain the glory of her golden age. We, today, should take a warning from that experience of the Greeks. We are seeking a universal peace and friendliness, which the Olympic games will do much to develop. These games will bring together in friendly c ompetition the most noted athletes from all the countries. However, we must not confine our sympathetic under- standing to our games, but we must allow it to carry over into every phase of our international relations. Then onlv can we achieve world peace and hold our high position in civilization. HENRY HOUSER Individual photo manager Is it not the duty of every citizen to develop a fit body when the welfare of a nation is concerned? The nation is composed of its individuals; or in a bi ' oader sense, the individual makes the nation. If the individual is not healthy and able to keep in time, the nation will fail, as did that of the Greeks. Even though the Greeks stood always for the highest physical attainment, some authorities state that their fall was caused partially by a germ which is now controllable. If this germ had not penetrated throughout the Greek nation and broken down physical resistance, the citizens would have been alile to hold their highly civilized nation longer in their own hands. If we are to hold our nation in our own hands and escape the clutches of disease and other destroyers, it is necessary to develop a fine physique. There is no phase of life that can be neglected. If one ' s health fails, one ' s business fails. All business, whether political, commercial, or social, is affected. How often is it that we think of what we are doing to our nation when we wear ourselves down until we are a burden ' ? It is our individual but important duty to support our country bv doing our share and keeping physically fit for its service. FRED SEDGWICK Group photo manager One man specializes in a single athletic event until he becomes a champion; an- other participates in many sports and wins for himself a well perfected physique. Which of the two men is a truer athlete? Today the specialist seems to be the champion. In the Greek Olympics of 2500 years the winner was the man with the all-around development. The modern 880 runner, first, but white and gasping after his run, would not have been considered a real athlete by the Greeks. Neither would the top-heavy gym- nast with his great muscle bound arms, nor the huge AU-American guard who could not broad jump 15 feet if he were forced to do so. Their olive wreath winners had muscles, loose, strong and skilled from head to foot, and consequently, graceful and beautiful bodies. Our Olympics, based as they are on these ancient games, might do well to pro- mote to a fuller extent this great ideal of the Greeks by having more contests for the all-around athletes. They might do away with specialization by making every competi- tor undergo the same training, a training that should develop all muscles of the body and over develop none. Thus, besides being more suggestive of the games on which they are based, the modern Olympics would help to establish a valuable physical ideal.

Seelting strength from the god of play. Strength, one of the most worthy of attributes, was worshipped by the ancient Greeks. They portrayed their worship in statues and paintings. It was personified in the attainment of bodily perfection which was displayed in the Olympic Games. We today worship peace. We portray our worship, not in art or sculpture but in great meetings, which bring together world powers. Our love, our brotherhood, and our ideals are given in the very word peace. The Olympic Games are one of the most substantial efforts to create a world of perfect happiness. Down through the ages now they walk In the glory of ancient Greece, Clad in tlie vestments of good will, Seeking strength from the God of peace. Welcome to world-great athletes, who. Through perfection, gain glorious names; Welcome to God ' s own true ideal And success in Olympic games. MARY F. ALLEN Or,ganization editor The glory that was Greece is gone forever, vanished with the brave heart of Leoni- das, the searching eye of Socrates. The Acropolis is a ruin; its finest temples, a maze of crumbling masonry. All is perished, degenerated, dead; only the fragrance of wild olive lives on. the deathless triljute to a fallen glory. The old order changeth wrote Tennyson, and his philosophy is justified by the centuries. The Greek order is done. In its place, we. the savages who roamed Europe when Greece was old. have seized the torch of world progress and have accelerated its glow till it illumines the age old darkness of the world. We have idolized newer Leon- idas, martyrized greater Socrates, erected more splendid Athens. Only the wreath of olive lives, survivor of another culture. It can never die. for it represents an ideal so noble, so perfect in conception that the changing order could neither equal nor super- cede it. the godly tradition of the Olympic Games. We have adopted the Olympics; this could not be otherwise. We have magnified their scope, glorified their perfection; but in our eagerness to credit ourselves with their discovery, we have banished the old insignia, the true emblem, the Wreath of Olive, and branded the Olympics with a devestating symbol, the Medal of Gold. The result is professionalism. One cannot expect to sow a seed of materialism and reap the Ifleal. We have stripped our athletics of the unmercenary, the unpretentious, the integral. We have dissevei-ed the unseverable. Sport is in its very essence an impersonation of nature; what more appropriate reward can we bestow upon it than nature ' s simplest and most graceful creation, the wreath of olive? GEORGE RUDIAK Literary editor 104 Tlh© Beaety of Olyenpisi First Prize — Senior A Contest The beauty of Olympia is not momentary: it is everlasting. Material splendor will yield to the years, but the beau ideal is eternal. The broken figure of the goddess of victory is symbolic of the broken physical power of Olympia. Though Nike be man marred, still her grace is unsurpassable as if she portrayed the victory of the infinite spirit of beauty that reigned in the Valley. Olympia breathed beauty. The green hills about her st.-etched welcoming arms to the sharp, silvery breeze that swept in from the blue sea at the south. The quality of keenness and rarity of the air gave the Greeks a clarity of mind that is essential to a great intelligence. In this atmosphere, men found a quickened love of living. They aspired, looked upward, sought for gods. On the banks of the River Alpheus, Olympia stood, shadowed by the conical cliff sacred to Cronus. Here was the center ot religious worship of all Creece. Hidden in the mythology of ages is the secret of its founding. Here was the most beautiful archi- tecture that any one city has ever known. Temples to the deities arose, far more fair than modern man has built in honor ot his God. The Temple of Hera, cased in liy colossal colonnades, housed the Hermes of Praxiteles, a masterpiece of sculpture. Smaller than the Heraeum, but lovely ot line, was the temple to the mother of the gods. Marble, marvelously wrought, once re- flected the great Apollo ' s glory as he traveled by at noon. In the evening, countless still, white figures smiled at sweet Diana in the moon. Architects sublime designed the abodes of the visitors who came to view the games. Sculptors vied amongst them- selves in creating Images of victor athletes. The temple of the mighty Olympian Zeus stood, the most magnificent of all the works of art. Within the place of worship was the marble image of the god that all Greece honored. Men deemed it wise to declare a sacred truce throughout tlie laud that all might come in peace to pay him homage. All the states united in the common wor- ship of a common god. These material works have crumbled into ruin and are lost. They could not live; monuments by mortals made can never be immortal. These were liut the expression of the true beauty of Olympia. The soul will live though the works become dust. So Pindar saluted Olympia as Mistress of Truth . With eager yearnings, the minds of these people sought the fuller, finer planes of living. They desired no shad- owed ideas. They sought to brush aside the fog of uncertainty and to find the clear, sharp outline of an eternal truth. In this Olympia is the glorification of the human body. Here tests of physical skill were held, and the victors were considered master men or demi-gods. Yet, the mind was not forgotten. The intellect was honored; and the need ot a spiritual life, recognized. The beau ideal of the Greeks was the disipline of both the body and brain. By the harmonious discipline of these two, man best honors his god. The nations meet once again. The races gather to play peacefully together. If the great Olympics of today could be inspired with this ideal of perfection of mind and physique, and the common worship of the God of all mankind, the world would find a perpetual truce of peace and a realization ot the true, eternal beauty that is Olympia.

Because of sectional geographical iso- lation, of the disappearance of national traditions, and of strong local religious bonds, Greek government was not national but local in nature. Greek city-states, scattered about the Mediterranean region, seem to have been incapable of any effective union or co-operation except when threatened by conquest from without. However, common to all Greeks was the love of a perfect body and the artistic masterpieces which it inspires. Hence, although failing to achieve political unity, once every four years for over one thousand years, all of Greece united in the greatest of its athletic and religious festivals, the Olympic Games. Interesting to note is the fact that during these festivals, special penalties were inflicted on any bandits or robbers who molested travelers bound tor the celebrated valley of Elis where the ancient games were held. On these occasions, the Greeks joined in worshipping Zeus while their universal admiration of physical excellence sponsored true friendships and worked inestimable good for the Greek nation. In brief, their common interests enabled them to co-operate peacefully once every four years. The modern citizen, in bringing his thoughts to bear on present day world situa- tions, may see existing between modern nations far greater ties than those between these ancient Greek city-states, all of which were a part of one nation. Marvelous transportation facilities, instantaneous communication, joint responsibility for economic stability between nations, a smaller world, these cause thinkers of today to reflect on our international relations and to seek a means of insuring true friendships and the peace which they will bring. Surely the modern Olympic Games, rapidly gaining favor among nations, will help as nothing else in the fostering of friendships. Exposing propagandists, abol- ishing a deadly fear psychology, and strengthening our common ideals of physical perfection, of cultural appreciation, and of Christian sportsmanship, these Olympic Games may be relied upon materially to hasten a state of complete understanding and peace among nations. The old Greek love of beauty and perfection is again working toward the appre- ciation and co-operation which will surely aid in producing the ultimate objective, international peace.

At first, perhaps, merely because of the grace and strength, the physical perfection portrayed, but later, as I became acquainted with its sinewy prowess, that discobolus came to represent to me the epitome of the two great Greek ideals, that of beauty, and that of perfection of mind and body, Myron is said to have moulded his own ideas of beauty into the form of the discus thrower just as any other sculptor seeks to do. However, he seemed to catch in his work some quality that is not found in the Apollo Belvidere, Hermes, Venus, Athena, or few of the other Greek statues with the possible exception of the Winged Victory. There is an animation expressed and a certain heart swelling something that forms an in- tegral part, in my imagination, of the consummate expression of Greek ideals. These Greeks were never passive. In everything, they did there was rhythm and spirit, from the tinkling waltz measure of Sappho ' s lyrics and dignified martial beat of Plato ' s dissertations, to the stirring polonaise of war and the joyous polka of feast and game. For this reason, it is little wonder that the discobolus should, as the em- bodiment of an Athenian ' s ideals, breathe of vitality and energy. In his desire to portray these ideals. Myron chose as his subject a character dear to every Athenian heart, the god-like athlete. No god could have the warmth and color of Myron ' s conception ; no Plebeian, the immaculate heart of high ideals. There- fore, it was left to the Olympic victor to epitomize all these qualities. As we look upon this masterpiece, its poise and balance, grace, and strength, we cannot deny its beauty. It is the beauty of the perfectly developed, healthy physique which the Greeks worshiped both through their religion and through their famous Olympic Games. Their gods were perfect but aloof; their athletes, on the other hand, were of their own people, of flesh and blood; and accordingly, they established in their honor a lasting memorial to their prowess, one of which though submerged for a time in the great concourse of history, has emerged again, even as the unsurpassed art of their age has emerged. Together they have again awakened the world to a realization of the ever present need in life of those two great ideals, beauty and perfection, beauty in perfection, and perfection which is, in itself, beauty! And so the discobolus of Myron stands poised, head bowed, muscles taut, ready to hurl the shining disc into our midst, ready to impart to us the ancient patriarchal culture of the Athenians if we will but receive it.

He was bronze of skin, but his muscles shone Like marble pillars — bleached to the bone. — And his brow was knit on the Persian throne That shadowed the heaving ground. Black, black as the Stygian track — The road to Athens is bitter and black. But his eyes were fair with the light of day, Proud with the blood of kings; And he watched the Greek, like a bird of prey — A shade that tarnished the proud array. Sweep down where the Median thousands lay And crush the Mede with his wings. Bright, bright is the darkening light — Greece has struck, and her honor is white. He lingered to hear the victoi ' y cry, The cry of a righted wrong; Then he turned his face to the gold of the sky. The path that the homing halcyons fly. And his sandaled foot, and his inward eye Beat in his brain a song. Strong, strong as the kingdom of wrong — His temples throbbed in the victory song: Fire of the fire of my red heart. Breath of my burning breath, be still: Another step and thy foot shall start The restless quiet of the Grecian mart, Athena ' s sacred hill. Fly, fly to the vanishing sky.

Breathed with delight as he watched him pass And heard from his lips the gladdening tide.

Hard, hard, is the crunch of the shard — The dust is a mantle — the distance is hard. Still pounded the swift feet — on and on — Till the guard at the city gate. Scarce knowing whether to shout or run. Descried the shade of Athena ' s son And raised from the steps of the Parthenon The men who troubled Fate.

True, true to the last breath he drew — Frown not, Athena, your servant is true. Still by the Stygian shores, where roll Dim echoes of passing shades. Still rings like a blazing clarion call The voice that lives beyond the pall. The truest and noblest Greek of them all Drifts through the soundless glades. Long, long as the trials of wrong — Untroubled in death is the runner ' s song: Fire of the flre of my red heart. Breath of my burning breath, be still. For never Athena ' s sons shall smart On the rankling chains of a slaver ' s mart.

From where he stood, a stone ' s throw from the entrance, the young Athenian could hear the excited yells and cheers of the large crowd of people. The games were being lield in the valley of Olympia, and the weary travelers had journeyed a long distance in order to pay tribute to Zeus. With a pounding heart, Moeris entered the stadium and made his way to the place where a group of young men were sprawled on the ground. Holla, Moeris! cried a fellow athlete. You are late! I know, Damoetas, answered the tardy comer. I gave my offering to Zeus just now. You will have need of his help and blessing if you expect to win today, was the cheerful, consolin.t; remark. Damon, the best runner of Sparta, competes today. He is the one of the iron heart, and Diana has bestowed her speed upon him. Moeris gave his friend a troubled glance but said nothing. The race was called, and the yoiith jumped to his feet with the others. Stretching his long, slender frame to test his muscles, he rubbed oil over his Ijody to take out remaining stiffness, and jogged over to the starting line. As he knelt beside his competitors. Moeris cast an interested glance to his right where the Spartan star was practicing the start. He was short and heavy set, with thick muscles and sinews bunched about his calves and thighs. His body was hardened by the training every Spartan must endure. The Athenian, used to spending liis time in studying the arts and sciences, had had little physical training in comparison, although he was in perfect condition and had showed ability in running. The runners hunched on their knees; and at the given signal, all sprang forward like arrows from a bow. Damon took the lead; and Moeris found himself in fourtli place, hugging the inside line of the track. It was a beautiful sight, these eight or ten runners moving along in an even tempo. Their oiled bodies slione in the sun; and the rippling of muscles was plainly visible to the interested spectators. Moeris was running easily, and the dust made a soft cusliion for his feet and greyed liis ankles, as clouds of dirt were lifted by the racers. The youth was a little worried about the distance, for tlie.v were reriuired to circle the stadium twice; this distance was quite a stretch. He was used to shorter races and was puzzled as to how he could endure this. Suddenly the Athenian gritted his teeth and determined that he must win at any cost. Sparta always bore the honor of winning the long distance run. and proudly looked down upon Athens and her scholars. The first curve was rounded by Damon, who was still in the lead, with the others strung out behind him. Confidence showed in his face as he strode along with tireless efforts. Moeris was running very lightly, and he could feel his legs spring under him. On and on. the winding column passed the half and three quarter marks. The people had their eyes glued on the small Spartan who seemed to be made of iron. Then the spaces between the ru nners altered, and Moeris found himself passing a competitor. In the last lap. this youth moved up to second place; and he could hear the panting of the losing racer behind him. Only the steady form of the Spartan leader was ahead. Gradually the two were far in front, many having fallen out; and the spectators stood on their feet, held in suspense. Damon had not decreased his pace, and the Athenian began to feel a wear- iness come over him. His breath became shorter, and the blood was pounding through his arteries. Lengthening his stride, Moeris gained on his rival. As they turned the third corner, the Spartan glanced over his shoulder and saw the Athenian gaining on him. Although Damon increased his speed. Moeris gradually crept up and was soon close enough to note with satisfaction that his opponent was thoroughly exhausted. With perspiration streaming down his body, and his mouth wide open to allow the ' ti 113 priceless air to gusli through his lungs, regardless of the aching pain in his throat, the youth put forth his last bit of strength and was side by side with the Spartan as they neared the finish line. Just as he was about to pass the short runner, Moeris saw him cast a savage look his way and felt the Spartan ' s foot lash out viciously against his shin. In his ex- hausted state, the Athenian fell headlong into the dust and rolled over on his side while the crowd howled its disappointment. Stumbling to his feet. Moeris finished second, with his heart burning with anger. All that night, the Athenian paced up and down his room like a caged animal, hatred for the Spartan growing with each step. Morning found Moeris making his way to the place where the .judges were making the awards, and the Athenian pushed through the throng to the edge of the platform. The olive wreath, which was to be awarded to the long distance winner, was brought forward, and a herald called in a loud, clear voice: Damon of Sparta, son of Lycidas. come forth. Smiling in triumph, the victor bowed before the judges. Determined now to tell the truth about the race. Moeris strode toward the elderly men and Damon, and opened his mouth to pour out a torrent of protesting words. Just then, the Athenian happened to glance at the statue of Athena, who was gazing down at him with a reproving glance. Athena — goddess of wisdom, the honorable mother of Athens. Well, my son, queried the holder of the wreath in a kind tone. What do you wish? Moeris choked back the hateful words, and with an effort, regained his composure. Throwing back his head, he looked at the winner, saying in an even voice: I wish to be the first to congratulate the victor who won so nobly for Sparta. Damon lowered his eyes in shame and shrank from this stern youth. When they attempted to place the olive garland upon his head, he backed away. Pointing to the Athenian, he cried: There is the victor! I fouled him. He defeated me fairly! As the friends of Moeris carried him on their shoulders in triumph, the youth glanced from the proud face of Athena to the stern countenance of Zeus who seemed to say: You are a true son of Athena!

MARILYN WATSON I ' IMI III lfTTWW  W« I- T 114 Flhysieal Edeeaitioe of Greek Yoiuitlhs Physical education of the Greek youths was the most important factor in their lives. The essential objective was the training of the body, rather than that of the mind. The Greek world was the proud possessor of two educational systems, the Spartan and the Athenian. In both, the early training was of a physical nature. According to Aristotle: Young children should be kept healthy by exposure. Crying and screaming should not be checked, for they contribute to growth and, in a manner, exercise the body. Children should be encouraged to sing and play, for it will keep them out of mischief: but the flute should be forbidden as over-exciting, and musical studies should cease at manhood. The Spartan boys were schooled to endure pain; discipline and obedience v -ere the enforced rules. At the age of twelve, the boys banded together in so-called packs , chose a leader called an Eiren, and proceeded to live their own lives in the following fashion. They dwelt in crude huts with beds made of rushes. Because cleverness was admired by the Spartans, shrewd bargaining and even stealing for the state were included as a part of their training. The Spartan began to wear a warrior ' s regalia at the age of twenty. Naturally he had to uphold the motto, Come back victorious or on the shield, before he could be designated with the honorable title of warrior. Although the Spartan youths were brave, healthy, and obedient, they were also stupid, rude, and inclined to brutality. The Athenian boy was carefully sheltered, tutored by a private teacher, and was always accompanied by a slave or pedagogue who carried his books and outfit. Three- fourths of his day was spent in the gymnasium where he took part in all sports. He was received as a citizen at eighteen, providing both his parents were of Athenian citizenship. He took a solemn oath which was a reminder of the responsibilities he now assumed. Part of it was: Never to disgrace his sacred arms, never to forsake his comrades in the ranks: to leave his country not in a worse but in a better state than he found it, to obey the magistrates and the laws, and to hold in honor the re- ligion of his country. A year was spent learning about war. At nineteen, the state presented him with a spear and shield, and at the public theater he was introduced to the people. After this ceremony, he served one year in garrison service on the frontier. Then he was free to devote his entire time to athletics. At the termination of the Athenian boy ' s education his accomplishments included swimming, w-restling. boxing, dancing, playing the lyre, and the recitation of Homer; but he was sadly lacking in knowled.ge of the principal fundamentals, such as in mathe- matics, geography, or natural science. The Athenian could take part in such festivals as the Olympic, the Nemean, the Pythean, and the Isthmian. The special feature of these festivals was the Pentath- lon, consisting of wrestling, running, jumping, throwing the discus and the javelin. The youth ' s school training had made him proficient in every event, enabling him to take an active interest in each. An Athenian, when he entered manliood. was neither a brilliantly educated man nor a barbarian. The Spartan possessed little knowledge, but great physical endurance. The Athenian system lacked quality of discipline, yet it neither over stimulated nor over repressed a boy ' s natural attitude towards knowledge. In the Spartan. Individual initiative was not encouraged, but the moral virtues of obedience and discipline were cultivated. Gradually, the Athenan ideal of a well balanced education replaced the physical system as stressed by the Spartans: and now two thousand years later, our system of education still follows the plan outlined by the athletes of the early Greeks.

Tlh© Saerifce of Lakoe Oifianizdtion Prize Story — Brush and Quill The countenance of Lakon was sulky, brooding, as he watched his brother from the door of the gymnasium. He is beautiful, thought Lakon; and a look of pain flashed across his face as he involuntarily looked down at his own body, bent and crippled from a chariot race accident years before. Yes, Thyrsis is beautiful, but he shall not win Alcestis. I shall have her, in spite of my misshapen body. She will be mine! Mine, if Thyrsis loses the footrace. And he shall not win. He started slightly and flushed as Corydon, the trainer, spoke to him with the tone of respect that people always used to Lakon, considering his high position. Greetings, Lakon. Greetings, Corydon. I stopped to watch Thyrsis at his training. It is beautiful to see. You have a right to be very proud of your brother, Lakon. I am certain that he will win the footrace. What honor he will bring to your house — and to our state! Menippos will gladly give his daughter in marriage to such a hero. Lakon ' s knuckles grew white as he gripped his cane hard. So Thyrsis has spoken to you of Alcestis? She has come to the gymnasium with her father several times. The love between the two young people is marked. And such a marriage will be celebrated with much feasting in our city. The lovely daughter of Menippos wed to the hero, Thyrsis! A proud smile lit his weathered features, for Corydon loved romance and worshipped the handsome Thyrsis. And If he lose the footrace? Lakon muttered to himself, but Corydon caught the words. He shall not lose. He has trained religiously for this Olympiad. I know of no other youth who can run the stadion as swiftly as he. But if there is, Thyrsis will lose as he would win; and Menippos will yet be proud of his son-in-law. Lakon turned sharply and left Corydon smiling proudly upon his pupil. His face was white; his hands trembled as he hurried across the courtyard. So Alcestis was to marry Thrysis whether he won the race or not. The lovely Alcestis would be lost to him forever then, and Thrysis would win her. He remembered bitterly the last Olympic feast. He had been straight and strong as Thrysis, and Alcestis had sent him off to Elis with words of praise. Slfe had been but a child then, but Lakon had foreseen the beauty of her womanhood and dared to dream of marriage. His father ' s horses had been spirited, the race course, crowded; the crash, terrific. Lakon had returned from Elis with his body torn and twisted. And now Thrysis was to bring honor to the house and win Alcestis. Lakon could not get the thought from his head. It tortured him beyond endurance. He could not lose Alcestis like that. It could not be. She had looked upon him with favor once; surely she would not turn from him now when he needed her so. Was not his high position in the courts of the State worthy of as much recognition from Menippos as that which Thyrsis would win with his olive wreath? He rebuked himself for thinking only of his own wants. He knew in his heart that Thyrsis deserved to win Alcestis. Thyrsis was clean and upright and handsome. The gods of jealousy were in his breast and he only half tried to overcome them. The Olympics drew nearer and nearer; and on every day that passed, Corydon became more certain that Thyrsis would win the footrace. Lakon watched the train- ing with a leaden heart, and jealousy grew until he could no longer bear it. Fort unately, more impersonal subjects occupied his mind most of the time. A band of outlaws was annoying the city. Curiously, their maraudings seemed to spread no further than the outskirts of the city, and their total disappearance during the day pointed to the suspicion that they were all citizens of the town. Some of the young men, hazarded someone, with records that could never be doubted; and who, therefore, would not be suspected. They probably do not realize the seriousness of their mischief. Lakon straightened in his chair. Like a flash of lightning, the thought had raced through his brain. If Thyrsis were found guilty of outlawry, he could not enter the games! He would be disgraced for life. But there followed immediately the know- 117 ledge that such a possihility could not be. It was utterly Impossible that the young athlete was a participant in the mischief of the mysterious band. Lakon felt ashamed of the sudden base hope that had sprung up in his breast, and he turned his mind to other topics. The night before Thyrsis was to leave for Elis. it was very dark. A mist draped the stars, and the moon had long since sunk in the west. Lakon awoke suddenly and started up on his couch. A vague uneasiness made him wrinkle his brow. He reached for his cane and moved painstakingly down the corrider. As he reached his brother ' s apartment, he hesitated before entering. Thyrsis. No answer. Thyrsis I He pushed back the drapes and entered. The apartment was empty. For a long time. Lakon sat on the couch in the anti-chamber. Only one solution could possibly be offered. Thyrsis — a member of the outlaw band. Young mischief makers, to be sure, no serious harm, but conviction would mean lasting disgrace. Personal jealousy was forgotten for a moment, overcome by family pride. A step on the thresh- old made him lift his head. Lakon ' . Thyrsis! The two brothers looked at each other for a long minute without moving. At last Thyrsis spoke. What brings you to my apartment at this time of night? ' Where have you been, Thyrsis? You must answer me truthfully. Thyrsis straightened. I shall answer you, Lakon, truthfully. I have met Alcestis in her garden, the had a token to give me, and she will not see me before I leave to- morrow. Lakon felt himself grow cold. Alcestis! — Alcestis! — How am I to believe this, Thyrsis? Into the younger man ' s brain flashed the import of his brother ' s question. Lakon held up his hand. How am I to believe this? You have the token? Thyrsis faltered, The token was — a — kiss — Rage flamed in Lakon ' s breast. He would not lose Alcestis! He w ' ould discredit this story! He would brand Thyrsis for outlawry! The power was his! He would have Alcestis for his own! His grip tightened on his cane; he straightened his back; he looked at his brother standing there in the doorway, his young face lighted slightly by the flickering lamp. Lakon opened his mouth to speak. In his hands rested the fate of this boy, his brother, the hero athlete. He closed his eyes in pain. Alcestis! — His head fell forward on his breast. He rose from the couch with great difflculty. I believe you, Thyrsis, he said. May the gods bless you — in the race tomorrow — and ever after — lONE BELL, B12 A Clhariot RsKse Every muscle a-quiver, erect and alert, He stands tensely grasping the taut, tugging reins.

Around them was the broad valley, cov- ered with groves of grey-green trees, watered by the gently flowing Alpheus, and sur- rounded by low, flower covered hills. Rising directly above them, the tall columns of the Olympian temple reached upwards to the clear summer sky. And from its pedestal on high, the winged Victory hovered over all. The winner stood on a table of ivory and gold. In his hands were placed branches of palm. Then, a young boy of pure Greek blood stepped forward and with a golden sickle cut off the garland of olive. This was placed upon the victor ' s head. Lastly, his name and that ot his father and mother were proclaimed by a herald to all the assembled people. This was his reward for a life time of training. But the honor of an Olympian victory carried with it all that was dear to the heart of a true Hellene. When he returned triumphant to his own city, the admiring pop- ulace often tore down a part of the wall so that he might enter where no man had gone before. Because he had brought fame to the city, he was treated with extreme honor and given many privileges. These included the right to fight in battle beside the king, an annual sum of money given for the rest of his life, and special seats at all public festivals. Even the penalty of death was revoked when an Olympian victor interceded. The names of the winners were inscribed on official lists and were preserved with great- est care so that now they are still known to the world. In the victor ' s own city, statues were often erected in his honor. The athletes who had triumphed three times were permitted to place their statues in Olympia. There, along the sacred road that led from the south gate of the Altis to the temple of the Olympian Zeus, were erected life size figures of these winners that they might stand forever in the presence of the gods. The greatest lyric poets sang their noblest songs in honor of the winner. They made him one with the gods. In stirring words, they described the prowess, the skill, and the grace displayed by him in the games. After he was dead, the songs still lived to tell the whole world of his triumph. Was material wealth to be compared with the eternal fame Pindar gave to them? Still greater than the honors of his fellowmen were those ot the gods. When the victor returned to his own city, he laid on the temple altar the emblem of his triumph, the olive wreath. It symbolized to him all that he cherished most, and as such was a fitting tribute to those who dwelt on high Olympus. And they in return gave to him their greatest gift, immortality. Truly, the olive wreath brought the Greek nearer the almighty gods. Pindar says, Victory .... putting into the heart of man a deep and eager mood. a star far seen, a light wherein a man shall trust . . . . To every man who has done something of worth, there comes a feeling of satisfaction, of joy in accomplishment. The people might heap innumerable honors upon him; the gods might make him one of them; but if he himself did not hold in his heart the content that comes of a task well done, if he himself knew that he was unworthy ot victory, then the triumph was of no true value. Victory in itself was the greatest reward of the Olympian games. What greater object was there to strive for? The olive wreath was valued only as a symbol of the ideals that accompanied such a triumph, the ideal of truth, beauty, a sound mind in a sound body. The olive garland might soon fade, but the ideals for which it stood remained always. The honor of an Olympian victory never died. The respect and fame given to the winner became even greater as the years passed by, so that now, two thousand years later. 120 we still remember and give tribute to those victors who raised on high, ideals that man will forever follow. And the greatest prize of all. the one that lived and grew in his own heart, still lives and grows in the hearts of other victors. CLARA SCOTT, A12 Oe to Vietoiry Loner Division Prize Poised like a bird of prey about to swoop down upon his victims, stood the hand- some young Greek lad with his finely chiseled features set in determined lines, his keen eyes following the path that led to victory or defeat. Beyond the tenseness of his straight, upright figure, he showed no sign of fear nor anxiety. But who had eyes so keen that he could pierce into the most inward emotions of the youth? Who could know that the stalwart heart beat just a little faster? Who could read his racing thoughts, the thoughts of a youth making his debut into a sport that was dearest and nearest to the hearts of Greek boys? A sudden feeling of despair tore at his heart strings. What if he were to lose this race? Could he bravely face the world in his humiliation? Suddenly the sounds of the warning gong snapped liim out of his reverie. His body Quivered in the slight breeze, and his mind was concentrated only on the need of winning the race. His eyes wandered to the great crowds, and he was certain that his friends were cheering him on. He waited expectantly; and at the signal and the sudden roar of the multitude, he instinctively shot out. Slowly, not too fast, head up, head up higher, faster now! White streaks flying by! Faster and faster! With a sud- den burst of effort, he gathered all his strength and redoubled the speed of his flying feet. His pulses pounded in his ears, and his heart was attempting to crowd out the rest of the body. It was torture. Would it never end? His legs shook under him. Was he weakening? No! No! No! He must not stop. On and on and on, endlessly. His subconscious mind thought only of the goal that lay before him. He stumbled and fell. What was happening to him? Everything was dark and still. Peace. No more running blindly and madly. He was being lifted. Where were they taking him? Wearily, he opened his eyes and dimly saw his friends comforting him. Why were they being so solicitous? Why did he not remember what had happened? Suddenly, the memory of the mad race came back to him. With a start of fear, he sat up. He had lost the race! Coldness clutched at his heart, and he could only stare blindly before him. Father Zeus! He must not weep before the curious eyes which were upon him. Slowly he straightened himself and stood up. Why, he had done no wrong. His eyes scornfully swept the gaping sea of faces riveted upon him. He had tried and lost, but he would try again. His face became illumed with a bright smile; and with a shrug, he walked over to the victor ' s side and saluted him. And so one more brave youth learned the lesson of sportsmanship. He had con- quered his emotions and was starting out again in search of another chance. JUDITH WEISSNER, BIO Til© Wresiitlh Organization Prize — Poetry Cluh Where deer pass softly now with reverent tread. Above the trail where sighing boughs stoop down.

FRANCIS CREWE 121 Tlh© Wmg©d Vietory Proud Victory still spreads her wings of glory, for time cannot tire her. Wmmi%- ' : To tin© Victor Before the Olympic Games took place every four years, heralds would be sent over all of Greece to make that fact known. Men would lay aside their armor, weapons, and business to assume the spirit and garments of the festival. For one month, people would be able to travel without fear of their enemies because everywhere a common bond of interest and friendship prevailed. Entrance in these contests was not an easy task, for no matter how well the athlete performed, he first must have been approved by the ten judges or Hellanodical. If he passed their inspection favorably, he was initiated into ten months of rigorous train- ing in the gymnasia at the Altis in Olympia. When the day for the final test arrived, the entrant had to prove before judges that he was of pure Hellenic descent and that he had no stain on his character. The contests were held in almost sacred reverence, and any who disobeyed the rules was dealt with severely. For minor disqualifica- tions, the players were compelled to pay for statues of the different gods they wor- shipped, which were arranged at intervals around the stadium. After the contestants had proved their purity, they proceeded to the stadium where they were anointed with oil. If the game was to be the most popular one. the foot race, the heralds pro- claimed. Let the runners push their feet to the line, and the spectators were called upon to challenge anyone whom they thought unfit. Then, after the positions were drawn b.v lot, the actual race began. One can almost picture the scene, the runners four in a line, crouching low, or perhaps standing with their sleek, glistening bodies reflecting the Grecian sunlight; surrounding them are thousands of eager men in their stately tunics, and as a back- ground, the fam9us mountains against a clear blue sky. At a blast from a trumpet, they start at a slow, cautious pace, with lithe muscles moving in graceful rhythm. The audience is deeply intent. Eleven times, the I ' unners encircle the huge stadium; then, on the twelfth lap. comes the moment of highest suspense, a final spurt; and the game is over, won! Amid the roars of the people, the victor is brought before the judges who take from an ivory and gold table a wreath of laurel, and place it on his moist brow. A trifle in itself, but that is enough; the winner feels amply rewarded for he has received the highest honor that can be con- ferred on him, a symbol of all that Is good, beautiful, and true. a token of ideals which the Greeks and their Gods admire.

' ' !Tl ' i i 1 1 II ' iji TrTiTrTTiyt • Tlhe Clharaeteir Developed by the Aeeieet )ie§ Third Prize — Senior A Contest. From the beginning of recorded time, man has been endeavoring to progress in his civilization. One of the cultures which was noteworthy in this advancement from barbarism to refinement, was the gift of ancient Greece. Greek culture was and is one of mankind ' s greatest heritages. Grecian cultural superiority is without a doubt indicative of Irigh racial char- acter. An agenc.v which was instrumental in establishing this high racial source of power was the Olympic Games. By means of the Olympic Games, so named because of the original games held in the Valley of Olympia, high character was not only encouraged, but cultivated. Certain elements of this character which were developed by the ancient Olympics are a direct heritage of today. These are sportsmanship, will to win, self-sacrifice, precision, perseverance, and courage. Each of these has its value with us living as we do in this modern day and age. Sportsmanship, to me, is the highest and greatest test of character. For a van- quished athlete to be able to admire the ability of his victor was an ancient trait which makes all devotees of athletics endeavor forever to hold pre-eminent the saying of Knute ° ' ® ' For when the One Great Scorer Comes again to write our names, He writes not that we won or lost. But how we played the game. For this same spirit of sportsmanship displayed in the games held in 192S at Amsterdam, the American track men received the plaudits of not only their country- men, but of the entire world for their attitude in accepting defeat although they were overwhelming favorites to win. This incident of the Ninth Olympiad has been one of the many examples of the manner in which defeat has been taken since the found- ing of these games. Modern youth has continuously been drilled in these ideals of fair play as handed down by means of the ancient Olympic histories. Many legends have been woven about self sacrifice and aid to one ' s fellow competitors in the pursuance of fair play. Fair play is the fundamental basis of good sportsmanship. The essentials of character exemplified in athletics determine a person ' s conduct. The conduct and actions of Olympic athletes in days gone by have been on a plane unusually high. Conduct, coupled with fair play, explains the high standard of sports- manship shown in our present day life. ' With this heritage, it behooves the athletes of today, not only of this nation, but of all the nations of the world, to carry on with the Olympic ideal, that of the development of physical prowess in a body, well devel- oped and healthfully governed by a mind, alert, accurate, and rounded out with a character above reproach. Although these athletes, striving towards these goals, were possessed of a friendly spirit during the period of competition, the will to win, which had been so well in- stilled in them by the long period of training, predominated in their thoughts. Enthusi- asm promulgated a zest to win the glories bestowed upon a victor. Yet, the athletes did not wish to win mainly for the glory to themselves. They felt rather that they owed an obligation to their respective city-states to do their best and thus to cast reflected glory upon their respective provinces which they represented. From this, began the first feeling of athletic loyalty to one ' s country or one ' s school. This heritage can be seen in the Do or die for old L. A. spirit, which has been handed down to us in 1931 by our predecesors in the Halls of Rome just as it was carried down to the athletes of the 293 ancient Olympiads as a heritage created from the beginning of the Olympics. Along with this will to win, the athletes were taught that a period of condition ing was essential. This conditioning clearly illustrated the necessity of preparedness for the accomplishment of victory. Their preparation entailed a long period of de- privation and sacrifice. Nevertheless, perservance. initiative, and honesty with one ' s self and one ' s country were results of this training. But not only were the elements of character developed, but the achievement of physical perfection was brought about M ill ly I II III III n il mmm rrm r r mmm m wrrrrrt ? wnn niwm?mf pwtijT(nitjmtirt 124 ' M MM mjSMMM ini(Y ' rn i ' ' ) ' i](T( ' ' ' so that we have as a heritage of the past, the development of a sound mind in a sound body. At the present time, civilization is advancing because of the development of real men of real character from early youth. It is necessary that we play the game honestly and fairly and carry out the ideals of true sportsmanship in order to develop true men. In the last analysis, the Olympic Games are merely a preparation for the great game of life. In this truth is contained the value of these games to our modern civilization. Preparedness has become a watchword. What a heritage has been bestowed upon us! The competitors of our modern Olympic Games are not representatives of one nation nor of one race, but rather they constitute what is verily, a parliament of man, a federation of the world, fostering sportsmanshop, creating friendsliip, preparing for life, advancing civilization, and benefitting man. All hail the Olympic Games, a medium for the establishment of a noble character which embodies the finest qualities of the manhood of the world. MEYER GROSSMAN. A12 leldeeeee of Olynmpie Gaoies oe Art H(jiior(iItlr Mrvtion — Senior A Contest The art of the Greeks, and subsequently that of the Romans, was greatly influenced by the Olympic athletes. In the field of art, sculpturing shows most clearly the admira- tion that the Greeks and Romans had for the victor in Olympic contests. Because the arts, as related to these games, became so important, competition between the arts, such as literature, painting, and sculpture was included in these ancient Greek games. The Greeks ' true conception of the beauty of the body developed by training for the games, as moulded in marble has not been surpassed; their models have come down to us thru the centuries. We are reminded of this fact continually: in all histories, we find pictures of the Greek and Roman athletes. The example set by the early Greeks and Romans has become the ideal of a perfect athlete, today. Because of the permanent character of sculpturing, we have been given a vivid and clear cut picture of the mar- velous development of the physique. If it were not . ' or these lasting pictures, we should have little idea of the high development which these people attained. The sculptor ' s chisel played the role that the camera does today in creating a graphic history. Ths sculpture pictures the gradual evolution from crude chiseling to the smooth and polished statues unequalled today. Throughout it was a nude art, developing from the Greek athletics. In tracing the rise of Greek art, there are two important char- acteristics to be remembered. First, the athletes were naked; and second, the specta- tors were exclusively males. This first characteristic was an immense advantage in distinguishing the finer points of the games. Every motion, every pose, every hard- ening of muscles was perfectly visible, and the trained eye became conscious of even the subtlest change in the contestant ' s mind. Slowly every feature of the contes- tant ' s body became meaningful, eloquent, alike in action and thought. Finally, we should remember that because of these games, the human body was perfected; and the observation and appreciation became more acute. Never before or since has the world known such a concentration of training to produce a perfect man. As Powers in his book, the Message of Greek Art, has said; Picture to yourself one of these ' fans ' who, from boyhood to old age has watched these contests from his seat in the stadium. As the athletes troop in before the vast throng, his quick eye grasps every detail, every subtlety of line, every motion, every sign of alertness and intelligence. Each athlete, one picked from a thousand . . . his eye revels in tlieir perfect form and estimates at a glance their possibilities. The vial of oil is handed to each; and each, in turn, rubs his comely form, slowly turning, till he glistens in the sun. Every motion is watched with breathless interest. There is the mighty cast of the discus, the agile hurling of the javelin, the lightning dash of the foot race, and the final grapnle of the wrestlers. With what sentiments must our old-time enthusiasts, trained through all the years, have gazed at last upon the perfect form. Thus one can realize why such an enthusiasm, such an appreciation reflected itself in art. The human body was the central theme in sculpture as it is intrinsi- cally the most beautiful object in nature. To represent perfectly the human body is the greatest achievement in art. The appreciation of these fundamental principles was 125 Tla© Aeadeoiy of Atlli©e§ Courtesy of Adalbert BartlctI In the busy modern world, the Greeks ' ideal of beauty still lives; their ideal of truth still leads mankind. thorovighly recognized by the Greeks and probably accounts for their supremacy in that art. In Greece, there existed an ancient custom of dedicating a statue of the victor in the athletic games to a God in whose honor the games were held. In many places, as at Olynipia. statues of clay or bronze, representing athletes as horsemen, warriors, and charioteers have lieen discovered. However, these were sometimes very primi- tively done. But with the rapid development of sculpture, it beca me the custom to erect a life size statue in honor of the victorious athlete. This was a permanent record of his achievements on the place where the games were held, or sometimes in the palaestra or in some open place in the home of the victor. These were almost ex- clusively made of bronze: and the victor himself, his fellow townspeople, relatives, or private individuals paid the cost. By degrees, at the more famous places of interest, a number of portrait statues were collected, which have made overwhelming im- pressions on visitors of the importance of the influence that the Olympic Games had on sculpturing. These statues well display the development and improvement which the tireeks made In the artistic representations of the athletes. One of the earlier statues found, expresses the crudeness which marked the beginning of the honor accorded athletic heroes. The earlier figures lacked the feeling and expression of the later works and were generally in the same position, but they had good form and proportion. A statue which was discovered was about five feet In height and represented a youth of stifl ' upright carriage. The weight of body rested on both feet with the left foot slightly forward and both feet touching the ground with the wMiole sole. The arms hung sym- metrically straight down on either side, and both hands were clasped with the thumbs outwards. The hair was long and fell in a broad mass down the l)ack but straight across and close to the ears, giving the eflect of an Egyptian statue. The statues of a century later .give a rhythmic and harmonious idea of the whole, never found in the earlier sculpture, A statue of an athlete illustrating this more com- plete beauty was uncovered near Rome, which was probably inspired by the Greeks. It shows a young athlete, who after a contest, is removing the oil and dirt from his right arm with a firmly held flesh-scraper. This tall, somewhat over life-size, elastic figure with long lower limbs, broad chest, and noticeably small head set on a long neck stands with feet rather wide apart in apparent rest. Thus there is suggested a lively action in the pose of the legs and arms, and a swaying to and fro of the whole figure. In looking at the youth, it is hard to say which deserves the most admiration, the suppleness of the limbs, the play of muscles, or the fine proportions, or the rhyth- mic action. The head, covered with a tangled mass of hair, is slightly inclined and suggests relaxation after the conflict. In the thoughtful countenance and open mouth, there is an indication of an inner excitement that one might expect of an athlete after a strenuous contest. Aside from its artistic perfection, the statue is invaluable as a pattern of physical development of a body trained in athletic exercises from early youth. From the time that these rhythmic qualities were first discovered, they have remained for artists an inexhaustable source of instruction. Thus we see how the ancient Olympic Games influenced Greek and Roman art. This art is an everlasting ideal and a goal. It is through the permanency of the chiseled marl)le that today, we may see the outstanding perfection obtained in competition. With the development of the Olympic Games, occurred the evolution of sculpturing, lieginning with the straight tense figure to the graceful, well-rounded, and realistic statues admired today. Let us hope that with the revival of the modern Olympic Games, there may be a continued perfecting of art in sculpture.

Their cries are not pealing, tor their numbers are few. For there are those whose heads have risen above the crushing blackness while they struggle toward that eternal light which patiently shines forth in its serene splendor. You enlightening power, you apostle of beauty, will not your burning torch con- sume the clouds of ignorance, and burst forth in glowing triumph? Our prayers have only partly been answered. The torch bearers of the ancient Greeks stand there placidly in their magnificence. It is for us to force the crevices. The sun ' s light when he unfolds it. Depends on the organ that beholds it. — Blake Wo talk beauty and philosophy; the Greeks lived it. They made a poem of life. Life was to them a sojourn with the object of finding truth. Truth they found through beauty. The eternal forces of life are the forces of the spirit and the imagination. Civil- ization perishes: stone edifices crumble to ruins; but the spirit remains even in the old fragments of grandeur. Only in the Greek art and litera ture do we find the true spirit of ancient Greece, tlie spirit which has made Greece the Mecca of beauty. In all Greek art, whether it be vase painting, bas-relief, or sculpture, there is that fresh, forward-looking puiity of a supreme wisdom. That was an age when the human body was regarded with reverence, and the culture of it, a part of tlieir life. In repre- senting the truth, they reached the highest aim of all art. Tlieir poetry shows a people rich in mind and soul, aided by spontaneous, creative genius, a people whose minds have reflected, a people who, in spite of all their gran- deur, were close enough to the earth to respond to its call. In this lies the secret of all sublime peoples. The very simplicity of the age — its art. literature, philosophy — shows its purity. Reverently we bow at the altar of the Greek, and in our gratitude offer thanks to the nation that has shown the way to truth. We wish to offer thanks for all the messengers of beauty since your time, messengers that found the hidden communi- cations in the light. We. who are waiting for the resurrection of your teachings, are grateful for Rodin, for Dante, for Milton, and all others who have carried on the Greek spirit. The clouds slowly depart; the light becomes brighter. Its reflection is caught by the waiting faces. A chant comes from their lips, very softly, then loudly and more loudly until the clouds have disappeared: and the light shines forth in its full power. The spirit of beauty lives on in those hearts.

A. High is upheld by a choice group of debaters, who under the skillful leadership of debate coaches I. D. Perry and F. M. Keslar, are always at the top of the list both in City and Southern California engage- ments. This year has been no exception as is demonstrated by the outstanding ac- complishments of our debate squad. In spite of the dark prospects which were enter- tained at the beginning of the year, due to the partial disintegration of the City League, the number of forensic encounters we have had this semester is second to none, both in quantity and quality. Los Angeles High School, upholding its policy of debating anyone on any question at any time, this semester upheld at various times both sides of four distinct questions. These were: Resolved: That the United States should recognize Soviet Russia. Resolved: That the five billion dollar loan for unemployment relief should be adopted. Resolved: That the present emphasis placed -on interscholastic football is detri- mental to the best interest of American education. Resolved: That the question of war debts be reopened with a view toward im- portant reduction or cancellation. The Intersholastic football and Revision of war debts questions were debated in the Southern California League while the Five billion prosperity loan and Soviet Russia were debated at random among ex-members of the City League and others. The following members of Mr. F. M. Keslar ' s debate classes participated in these debates: Stella Wilhelm and Monro Rubin were assigned to the question of Soviet Russia. Eight debaters upheld the various phases of the Five billion dollar pros- perity loan, these being Margaret Snyder, Tillie Boynoff, Gordon Howden, Philip Shacknove, Emma Berg, Jack Goldsmith, Stella Wilhelm, and Leo Paullada. Both sides of the question of Interscholastic football were upheld by Arthur Groman. Monro Rubin, Dorothy Malmuth, and Henry Lowenstein. The Revision of war debts question was debated by Barbara Finley, Harvey Page, and Edward Boyd. Not contented with this list of debates, L. A. also contested with other schools on the question. Resolved: That the states of the United States should adopt a uniform marriage and divorce code. A feeling of pride may well be excused in coaches I. D. Perry and F. M. Keslar when they announced that in all these encounters, L. A, met with the great success that may be expected from such brilliant participants. 146 9 f et k 9 Oliver Beaulieii Emma Berg Edwari Boyd TiUie Boijnoff Meriam Felglcman Jack Goldsmith Arthur Groman Gorion Howden Hevru Lowenstein Dorothy Malviuth Harvey Page Leo Paidlada Monroe Rubin Philip Sehacknove Margaret Snyder Alice Wass Slclla Wilhelnt Cecil L.

The meetings of this club are for the benefit of the unit; every day problems are discussed, and solutions are agreed upon. Special events, such as Armistice and Memorial Day parades are sponsored by this club. One of the most important topics introduced at the meetings was the semi-annual military ball, which was exceedingly well planned by the members of the club. This event was a great success; a number of officers from other units attended as well as the members of our own unit. The dance was held in the gii ' ls ' gymnasium, and was a feature of the social term.

C. wlien Coroebus of Elis won a 200 yard foot race, the only event scheduled in the first Olympiad. For over 1000 years, the Olympics continued until 393 A. D.; and during this time, events were added and discontinued, according to the will of the people. Of all these athletic contests, the Pentathlon was outstanding. It consisted of five events; jumping, foot race, throwing the discus, liurling the javelin, and wrestling. In jumping, the contestants carried weights which they extended in front of them as they leapt through the air. One jump of fifty-five feet was supposed to have been made, but authorities have declared such a feat physically impossible. The jumper had to land with both feet even and together. In this event as in all others, form and style were considered of primary importance. The distances run by the Greek athletes were GOO feet or further. All contenders were naked, and their bodies were well oiled. Often times, although not included in the Pentathlon, there were races run in light and in heavy armor. The original discus was a circular platter of stone, ten or twelve inches in diameter. Form, stance, swing, and rhythm were all-important in the throw. The ancients did not turn before throwing the platter as is the custom today. The javelin was hurled by means of a strap attached to the center of the pole, and wrapped around the pole several times. This thong unwound as the javelin pierced the air and thus multiplied the distance of the throw at least three times. Wrestling was a beautiful sport in which the athletes endeavored to make every effort elegant, graceful, and to render every motion an action of beauty. In fact, sometimes the matches were accompanied by flute music. Winning consisted in throwing the opponent three times to the ground, but each throw had to be done according to correct form. Two more contests, boxing and an event called Pankration, were extremely im- portant in the ancient games although they were not included in the Pentathlon. The boxing contests were fought to a finish or until one of the fighters gave up. At first, the fighters had a light covering such as ox-hide for their fists; but as the contests became more deadly, this covering was strengthened with loops or pads of heavy leather. This Pankration was a real battle. Kicking, strangling, and striking were permitted. Strangling was even encouraged. In fact, only biting and gouging wei ' e against the rules. The twisting of the limbs out of their sockets was a popular means of attack. A Pankration winner had either to kill his opponent or make him admit his defeat. The Greeks included this event with its brutal, warlike methods because it brought out more strongly the contrast between the barbarians ' ideal of strength and the Greeks ' ideal of physical perfection. Meanwhile the Greeks, in spite of these warlike tendencies, enthusiastically cul- tivated art, music, and literature, which were represented in the games. This splendid custom has been continued in the Olympics of today while the unnecessary brutality of the Pankration has been eliminated. Other events retained from the ancient times are wrestling, boxing, equestrian sports, and a pentathlon. The modern Olympics also include demonstrations of an international and of a national sport, contests for individual supremacy, and contests for national supremacy. The games of old were to honor Zeus; the present games are to encourage international friendship. The ideal common to both is the attainment of physical and mental perfection. 172 Trr ' VN ' TTnin(M ' ' lnnn TMn ' hinii| ' NiTiMnt5 .,- nH|r- n= ' nMi)| ' tM ni . , ,, . iij Herbert White Elmer Crumly Horace Bresee Homer Graves Carl Brown Albert Hemsath Philo Chambers Bert La Brucherie Th© Coaelbes HERBERT WHITE — Head of athletic department, varsity Ijaseliall Under Mr. Wliite ' s capable leadership, seven baseball championships have been won by the Roman varsities in the last twelve seasons.

Following the kick-off, Belmont launched a drive into Roman territory but lost the ball on downs. After an exchange of punts, Williams, on a series of powerful off-tackle smashes, each of which was good for about ten yards, carried the ball down the field to a touchdown. L. A. failed to convert. The half was drawing near as the Hilltoppers returned the next kick-off to their 30 yard line. They opened an aerial attack and advanced past midfleld by completing several passes, biit the second quarter ended with the Romans still 6 points ahead. In the third quarter. Miner of Belmont fumbled La Brucherie ' s kick, and Davis recovered for L. A. on Belmont ' s 24 yard line. L. A. gained 70 yards on this play. Williams then ploughed through to the 12 yard line. Murphy faded back and threw a flat pass to Smith who romped over the goal line for another score. Again the con- version was blocked. Twice more L. A. pushed deep into Belmont territory but lost the ball after getting within scoring distance. Just before the game ended, a Belmont man fumbled behind his own goal but picked the ball up and completed a wild 20- yard pass, thus preventing any further scoring. Outstanding in the game were the defense work of Pike, Busby, Mac Moore, and Murphy, the power of Williams and Smith, the kicking of La Brucherie, the passing attack of Belmont, and the all around play of four of the opposition: Miner, captam Strong, Fox, and Kordick. ' WTfTTTnTffW ' W 180 Los Angclrs 1 Jefferson ]L©§ Aeg©l©§ v§o JefiTersoe The first game ever to be played on the new turf fteUi resulted in the second straight Roman victory. Busby kicked off. An exchange of punts gave L. A. the ball in midfield. Willey went back to pass but instead ran 41 yards to the Jefferson nine yard line. Smith and Williams each made one yard. Then, on a reverse. Smith cut through for the first score. The conversion failed. L. A. kicked off. With O ' Neil carrying the ball, the victors beat down into Roman territory. They completed but fumbled a pass, and Willey recovered on the 1.3 yard line. L. A. kicked. Again Jefferson marched down the field, this time led by Hicks, quarter: and again L. A. stopped the attack near the goal line. A minute later, the half ended with neither eleven in a position to score. At the opening of the third period, L. A. made 50 yards on a pass. Willey to La Brucherie. to place the ball on Jefferson ' s 15 yard line. L. A. fumbled and lost the ball, but immediately regained it when the Democrats also fumbled. In two plays. Smith made 11 yards and first down. From this point, captain McKenzie plowed across the goal. Again, the extra point was missed. The Democrats took the kick-off and started another drive. They fumbled on L. A. ' s 26 yard line. Kirpatrick recovered. The Romans gained 4!) yards on the next play when they punted and recovered the Democrat safety man ' s fumble. However, the ball was lost on downs; and the last scoring opportunity of the game was gone. Each team made ten first downs. .Jefferson ' s were due to a big powerful line plus a mighty line plunger, O ' Neil, and a speedy quarterback. Hicks. L. A. ' s victory was due to the fight and spirit of eleven players, capably directed by quarterback Wade Willey. 181 TTl ji ' |llir ' l(ll7 ' Jy ' rnF Tiiry i ' )p ' ' ■mmn ..|(, frrTn tiT- ' ri VS ' ' ' ' ii ■ ■ ■ ....±... . - r Los Angeles Hollyicood Los Aeg©l©§ v§o Hollywood More than 5000 men. women, and children lined Housh field as L. A. and Hollywood battled to a scoreless tie. Willey fumbled the kick-off. On the next play, the opposi- tion fumbled; and L. A. recovered. La Brucherie kicked. Hollywood followed suit, and the Romans gained 20 yards on the exchange. L. A. drove down to the 15 yard line where, on last down, Willey ' s pass to Davis was incomplete. Hollywood plunged and passed to L. A. ' s 20 yard line before the half ended, but was held tor downs at this point. Starting the second half, the Redshirts took the kick-off and Immediately started a drive that terminated four yards from L. A. ' s goal. Verdugo began by passing to Austin for 26 yards. Ireland and Flynn each made eight. It was first down on L. A. ' s 13 yard line. Pour smashes at the line then failed by six inches to make another first down. La Brucherie, standing way behind the goal, punted out of bounds on the 33 yard line. The Arabs dominated the play for the rest of the game, but did not near the goal until the last 5 minutes of play. At this time, with victory in the balance, a Hollywood man missed a short pass over the Roman goal, and the game was over. Despite the score, several Romans, Evarts and Smith, especially, played excellent football. Hollywood made seven more first downs than L. A. mainly through the efforts of Clark, end. Noble, guard, and Verdugo and Ireland, halfbacks. 182 Los Angeles Roosevelt L©§ Aegel©§ v§o Roosevelt The Blue and White athletes went to Wrigley Field ready to give Roosevelt a terrific lacing. But vifhat a surprise! Roosevelt returned L. A. ' s kick-off to the 20 yard line and immediately launched a drive that netted them four first downs and put the ball on our two yard line. The defense of the Blue and White stiffened, and Roose- velt lost the ball on downs. Their second sustained drive was stopped on our 15 yard line after a march of fifty yards, and the score remained — at the end of the first half. Coach Bresee started almost an entirely new team to open the third quarter. Shedd. Bolotin. McKenzie. Irwin. Mitchell, Cullenward, and Cheshire being the sub- stitutes. After punts by both teams and a fumble by Roosevelt, L. A. took posses- sion of the ball on the Rough Riders ' forty yard line. A pass. La Brucherie to Smith, gained twenty yards: but on the next play, Willey ' s throw to Davis was grounded over the goal line. The Romans again came within an ace of scoring when in the last period, Roosevelt fumbled behind its goal for a safety. However. L. A. was off-side on the play. Before the Romans could start again, the game was over. L. A. ' s reserve material that started the second half performed as well, if not better, than the first string. Roosevelt played an inspired game and deserved the tie. In fact, they scored fourteen first downs to L. A. ' s six. 183 Los Angeles Polytechnic 12 L©§ Aeg©le§ v§o Folyteelhme Poly won the traditional battle in 1931 and balanced accounts with the Romans. Each team has now won nine games from the other. The first halt was fast and furious. Poly kicked off; after Murphy punted in return, Poly fumbled and lost the ball on the Parrot twenty yard line. A Poly man dropped the sphere and was downed on the seven yard line when he ran backwards after recovering it. Poly kicked, and on the next play recovered a Roman fumble. After several punts, L. A. had the ball on its own ten yard line. Two plays made forty-five yards. The Mechanics stiffened, and Willey punted out of bounds on the five yard line. Poly kicked out of danger, and then Williams broke loose for twenty yards. With the ball deep in Poly territory, Williams cracked the line four times, and failed to make a first down by inches. Poly marched back fifty yards but lost the ball on the fifth fumble of the game. L. A. punted. Willev intercepted a Mechanic pass and ran to the ten yard line. Williams made nine yards, and Smith slid over the goal. Poly blocked the conversion. Los Angeles 6 — Polytechnic 0. The second half was a nightmare. Poly started by marching sixty yards straight down the field for a touchdown. The conversion hit the cross bar. and the score was tied. Another drive was halted by the Romans on the ten yard line. Then a third attack terminated when Ralphs ran forty-two yards around end for a score. Billy Bob AVilliams of L. A. and Dewey Ralphs of Poly were by far the best players on the field while four linemen. Evarts. Kirpatrick, Pike, and Bolotin put up a great battle against the huge Mechanic forward wall. This was a great battle! 1S4 Los Angeles 26 Franklin 13 A flghting band of Franklin athletes gave the Roman varsity a real scare in the final grid game of the year. Murphy ' s pass was intercepted during the opening minute of play. Franklin took advantage of this opportunity and converted a pass and a long run into a touchdown. The try for point was missed. Soon after, with L. A. in pos- session of the ball in its own territory, Coach Carl Brown sent Billy Bob Williams into the game. In two plays, he made sixty-six yards and a touchdown, and then added the extra point. Before the halt ended, the Romans tallied again when Willey passed to Smith for fourteen yards and a score. The conversion was blocked, and the score stood 13-6. The Printers opened the third iiuarter with a powerful drive straight down the field for a touchdown; and when they proceeded to convert, the count was tied, 13-13. This score stood till the final period; but at this time, Williams turned a beautifully executed eighty yard run into a touchdown. A pass was made over the line. Murphy to Smith; and a conversion by Captain McKenzie added seven more points to com- plete the fourtn quarter rout of Franklin. In this game, every member of the team was about equal with the exception of Williams. This was the last and best game of Billy Bob ' s football career at L. A. High. 185 .V ' CJDs. ri«- I Le t fo right. Back row: Showalter, Goldberg, Lewison, Levy, Kleinman, Ncgrete, Shreve, O ' Flaherty, Glover, Altman, Weight.

Five of the opposing teams were held absolutely scoreless; Belmont was the only one capable of crossing the Roman goal. Captain Harold Adelquist lead the team at center. Next came Blumkin and Pal- outzian, guards; Holzman and Whitley, tackles; and Felice and Avedisian, ends.

The duties of these three fellows are too numerous to mention in full, but their most important tasks are to provide transportation and to care for equipment. Chuck was head manager for the second consecutive season. He has also served as a class B basketball manager; and in these three capacities, lie has been nearly indispensable.

His floorwork and passing were out- standing in all of the games. He will be missed next year. MEYER GROSSMAN— Guard Mike was a fighting guard who excelled in taking the ball off the backboard. He will be missed next year. BOB HITT— Forward Bob dribbles, shoots, and handles the basketball as if he were a veteran. He will be eligible next year. AL ROBBINS— Forward As a brainy, peppy forward, Al could patrol his position against all competition. He will not return.

The five forwards were: Thomas, Legneur, Harris, Kurtzman, and Coates. The centers were: Doyle, Imhoff, Cicourel, and Robinson. The guard positions were sought by Goh, Kaplan, Moore, Paonessa, and Krone. Following the usual custom, the light- weights will not elect a captain until the season starts. The players are well drilled in fundamentals: and when they learn to work together, L. A. will have a team of which to be proud. 197 Left to right.

Ck§§ C Basketball At the beginning of the season, the oiitlooli for the C basketball team was fairly bright. Student coach Lee Coffin had three returning lettermen, Cohen, Bastanchurry, and Heyn, around whom to build his team. Besides these veterans, there were some others who had previously had basketball experience. The team as a whole had much fight and speed which it used to great advantage. No league games have been played thus far; but a fine performance is expected of the C ' s in their approaching league contests. The first team men were: Cohen and Manchen, forwards; Bastanchurry, center; Heyn and Lake, guards. The rest of the squad was as follows: Lappin, Ackerman, Hughes, Uhl, Masiaka. Blackburn. Henderson, and Danery. Ted Burlingame was the manager. l i i pj ■ 198 Go Ao Ao Carls ' Atlhletne Assoeiatioe President: Kathryn McBride Vice-president: Virginia Quill Secretary-treasurer : Eleanor Dietrich Recording secretary: Gerakline Chesebro Sponsor: Miss Margie Richards To the ancient Greeks, participation in sports was tor the purpose of winning laurels, but to the members of the Girls ' Athletic Association, participation in the games of today is for the purpose of winning lasting friendships, for these make life worth while. Though our aims differ from those of the Greeks in regard to glory, they are the same in some respects. Among these mutual ideals is the desire to develop a fine spirit of sportsmanship, friendliness, co-operation, and loyalty, the qualities for which the Girls ' Athletic Association stands. This term the members of the G. A. A. have enjoyed many good times in the form of play-days and parties. The first was a Get Acquainted party, to which all new girls especially were invited. Later in the term, the girls held a costume Hallowe ' en party. This was fun for all because most girls enjoy the game of dressing up , and because everyone showed her spirit of sportsmanship, friendliness, co-operation, and loyalty at the party just as sincerely as on the field. The success of these activities has been due to the enthusiastic spirit o( the Cabinet and of Miss Richards. This executive body is made up of the officers of the association, the presidents of the clubs, and the G. A. A. reporter on the Blue and White Daily. The various clubs form the Girls ' Athletic Association. The presidents are: Nathalie Seifert, Archery; Bernice Foulkes. Advanced Dancing: Grace Douglas, Begin- ners ' Dancing: Virginia Loeb, Gym; Margaret Radis. Rifle; Virginia Quill, Upper Grade Seasonal Sports; Zoe Bromley. Lower Grade Seasonal Sports; Marie Du Charme, New Sports; Lucille Schimmel, Tennis; and Elizabeth Schreiner, L. A. Letter. Each member of the association is awarded points toward a G. A. A. or L. A. letter for the activities in which she participates. The girls who have received their olive crowns in the form of L. A. letters are: Josephine Adamo, Mary Beeson, Elinor Brown, Frances Brown, Geraldine Chesebro, Jane Dodge, Helene Caspar, Lois Hunter, Virginia Loeb, Kathryn McBride. Dorothy McCracken, Elise Meads, Jean Mitchell, Mary Prince, Virginia Quill. Margaret Radis, Rowena Reeve, Lucille Schimmel, Elizabeth Schreiner, Nathalie Seifert, Draxy Trengove, Elizabeth Vincent, Wilmena Vincent, and Donna Whitehorn. Two other impor tant events of the term were the play-days which were given by Fremont and Lincoln High schools. Our play-days may be compared to the ancient Olympics since groups from many schools gather on one field to compete just as the athletes from foreign sections gathered to take part in the Olympic activities. However, they met to make records; and we meet because, When the one Great Scorer Comes again to write our names He writes not that we won or lost But how we played the game. 200 il Kathryn McBr ' ide Virginia Quill Eleanor Dietrich Geraldine Che ehro Zoe Bromley Grace Douglas Marie DuCharm Bernice Foulkes Virginia Loeb Margaret Radis Lucille Schimmel Elizabeth Schreincr Nathalie Seifert 201 President: Nathalie Seitert Secretary: Elizabetli Hilker Sponsor: Miss Ricliards Archery is a means of attainment of all the ideals held highest by the Greeks of Olympic days, finely co-ordinating muscles, accuracy of aim, and symmetry of form. The Grecians recognized this, and accordingly gave it the highest honor they could devise. They made the bow and arrow the symbols of one of their immortals, Artemis, goddess of the hunt.

A„1 -: . ' Militarji Heads, Colonel J oh fi Mudfjetl R. O. T. C, Los Angeles High School Mr. George Nelson Sery( anl James Lawson In ancient Greece, the people knew that the safety of their state depended on the military and physical training of their citizens. Their wars were fought by citizen soldiers, called to arms after the declaration of war; and there was usually at least one war going on. The United States today is in almost the same position although fortunately wars are much less common. The military policy of our country is. and always has heen, primarily defensive. The R. O. T. C. is but one cog in the military machine of the United States; but bound up in the purpose and standards of the R. O. T. C. is a code which even the mighty Greek would be proud to call his own. It is the motto of our school: Obedience to Law, Respect for Others. Mastery of Self, Joy in Service; These Constitute Life. The word obedience means submission to authority. OBEDIENCE TO LAW Discipline is a part and parcel of every well trained soldier. Without it. an army becomes a mob. With it, a mob takes on many of the characteristics of an army. In the R. O. T. C, the men are taught to obey not only military regulations; but the laws of their school and country as well. The purpose of the R. O. T. C. is not primarily MASTERY OF SELF to provide military leaders for time of war. but to turn out better citizens for time of peace. Military training develops each man physically and mentally. It instills in him the spirit of self-control, resourcefulness, co-operation and patriotism. In short, its purpose is to turn out men better equipped to face the struggle of life and better able to undertake the obligations of citizenship. 213 Respect foi- others really means the art of get- RESPECT FOR OTHERS ting along well with other people. By various social activities, such as the Army Ball, the members of the R. O. T. C. are given many opportunities to become better acquainted. As was the custom with the ancient Greek states, JOY IN SERVICE it is our policy to fight our wars with citizen soldiers, hastily called to arms after the declaration of hostilites. Under the provisions of the National Defense Act. the army of the United States consists of the Regular Army, the National Guard when in the service of the United States, and the Organized Reserves. The purpose of the R. O. T. C. is to provide officers and non-commissioned officers for the Organized Reserves. The R. O. T. C. renders many services to the Los Angeles High School. The military police take charge of football games and other athletic contests, and they maintain order at all times. The quiet efficiency of the ushers in the auditorium win the plaudits of the observant while the auto patrol protects the automobiles of the students and enforces the parking regulations. It is the blending of these many factors, the close THESE CONSTITUTE LIFE adherence to this code, and the prevailing spirit of co-operation and harmony that combine to bring the R. O. T. C. to the conclusion of a most successful term. The unparalleled attain ment of honor school rating for the sixth consecutive time is an expression of the efficiency of the unit. Truly, the Los Angeles High School is worthy to be called an honor school. BATTALION ROSTER STAFF Major Philip W. O ' Neil Commanding Captain Cecil L. Brewer Adjutant First Lieutenant William R.

It was one of the fundamental principles on which the Olympic G ames were based. Only those young men whose honor was unquestioned were allowed to participate in the contests. A different sort of honor came from victory in the games; an honor which meant praise, thanks, and glory. This new type of honor grew out of the sensitiveness which reviles small, mean, deceitful, yellow, and cowardly acts. Today, as we play the game of school life, honor comes, to us from having trained ourselves to be honest, courageous, great, loyal, and kind. It is reward in the form of scholarship, positions of responsibility in Student Body government, and similar re- cognitions of worth. The Periclean society and the California Scholarship Federation honor scholar- ship. The Boys ' and Girls ' L. A. letter clubs honor athletics. This term our school was fortunate in having two championship football teams, class B and C. For the past six successive semesters, the R. O. T. C. has been given an honor banner in recogni- tion of its high rating, an honor never acheived before in the history of the United States army. In oratory and debating, L. A. has always made a fine record. Lastly to the student who excels in scholarship, leadership, and character, the student who stands for honor and earns honor, is given the greatest award possible in the city schools, membership in the Ephebian society. A scholarship has been presented to the Los Angeles High School in memory of Forbes Ripley who died in 1929. Each spring, this award is given to the boy who is best fitted to carry on after Forbes Ripley, the ideals of patriotism, characte,r and stead- fastness. Last spring, Robert McHargue, S ' 31, was given this honor. We, the students of Los Angeles High School are firm in our devotion to honor. Those qualities which honor reviles we look down upon. Those qualities which honor upholds we endeavor to make a part of our very lives, in striving for that ever worthy goal, a life of service and of love. 223 f d.jm.i Frances E.

When the Athenian youth was granted his citizenship at the age of eighteen, usually at the close of one year of military training, he took the Ephebian oath, promis- ing service to his city-state. Now the Ephebian society of Los Angeles, composed of graduates of the city high schools who show promise of becoming civic leaders, admin- isters a similar oath to Its new members upon their entrance into the organization. The members from the class of Winter ' 32, chosen by a combined vote of the Faculty and the students of the senior A class, on a basis of merit in scholarship, leadership and character are: Frances E.

This term, the society includes 300 members, the largest number so far in the history of the organization. The important event sponsored by this organization was the semi-annual assembly at which the California Scholarship Federation seal-bearers were presented with their pins. This assembly was unique in that the Pericleans themselves presented the program instead of introducing an out- side speaker. .Rayola Weitzel, Alfred Hartley, Arthur Groman. and Richard Johnston spoke on the ancient and modern Olympic games. 226 President: Clare Riding Vice president: Fred Plotkin Secretary: Irene Katz Treasurer: Jean Slieppard Sponsor: Mrs. Freda B. Daniels The Junior Pericleans, an honorary scholarship society for BlO ' s who have been outstanding in junior high, aims to remind the newcomers to maintain the same high records which they have previously earned, and to inspire them to higher honors at Los Angeles High School. This is entirely an intormal, social organization, and so serves to promote that friendly feeling among the BlO ' s which makes them at home at L. A., and realize that they are of some importance to the school. The programs at each meeting feature the members who have musical, dramatic, or other ability. This organization has completed one of its most successful terms under the splendid guidance of Mrs. Freda B. Daniels. 227 zJ± Eo Oo To Co Medal Wimeirs Front row, left to riyht JACK O.
