But ages before the dawn of human history, California possessed a geography of fascinating variety, a geologic wonderland on a gig- antic scale. The Golden State is famous for her matchless mountains and fertile valleys, for her rivers and lakes and far-flung coast line, while her salubrious climate has attracted eager multitudes. Nature has been a benign mother to fair California. Nowhere are there more beautiful wild flowers, and favorite among them all the poppy. Brimmed with the golden vintage of the sun. Here is the home of countless birds and animals and fishes. Yonder in the heights tower the giant Sequoias, with the unmatched eloquence -of reverent silence. Bountiful resources in gold and other mineral treasure, in noble forests, in rivers and lakes and the greatest of all oceans, in the fertile soil of valley and hillside, here indeed are the gifts fit for gods, yet vouchsafed to the children of men. Then happy, thrice happy, are we, fortunate dwellers in this land of heart ' s delight! As a native Californian, is there any wonder that I love my state? As a child of pioneers, is it strange that I am entranced by the seduc- tive out-of-doors? As a citizen of the Commonwealth, should I not cherish her history and forever exalt the ideals that have made this favored land our beloved Empire State of the Pacific? With Van Dyke I sing: Ml av : I love thine inland seas. Thy groves of giant trees. Thy rolling plains: Thy mystic canyons deep. Thy mighty river ' s sweep, Thy mountains wild and steep All thy domains. . SiSilBlilF ifi;;,? «l(i(iS iii« ' JR ' ' ' ■f ' ,y y - ' 9 ' i kAS. i . AAffi . . fi .

The class precedinK yours took as its topic The Covered Wagon Period. Yon are completing the three semester study with the subject California the Beautiful . California, with a shore line of approximately thirteen hundred miles, is one of the most favored of all the states in the Union in the variety of its scenery. Our state extends from the colder regions of the north temperate zone to the warmer climate of the semi-tropic. Shasta. Teliae. Whitney, Baldy. Grayback and San Jacinto, great snow-capped peaks, look down upon fertile valleys, extensive river beds, and many i.iiles of desert land with its brilliant and colorful plant life. History has proved the theory that beautiful scenery has strongly influenced civilization. In our state our lofty mountains have helped to inspire our citizens with high and exalted thoughts and ideals. The broad expanse of the Pacific has urged us onward toward bigger adventures. Thus there is being developed here in our beloved California, by the shores of the western sea. a civilization that emphasizes the best characteristics of former ages and one that promises worthy ideals for the future. As Senior A ' s. in addition to your comprehensive study of California the Beau- tiful , you have been successful in carrying out the treasured traditions of the school. Furthermore under your guidance, on behalf of the school, a stand of beautiful national colors was presented to our Memorial Library on Armistice Day. Another outstand- ing event of the semester was the winning of the Herald Extemporaneous Contest for the third time with the trophy a permanent possession of our school. The members of the Faculty anticipate for each of you a lite filled with a vision of the big and true things of life. We feel sure that each of you will show a courag- eous determination to realize your highest ideals. With best personal wishes for the continued success of each member of the class, I am. Very sincerely yours. Principal iS - lal iaS £: 19 Jumv Th© M©§§©egeir Beauty has flung a garment of delight About her soul, lest man ' s earth-sodden sight Should gaze straight through her ghost; know naught from sea To timber-line but labor ' s niggard fee. She veils the pines in silver rain, while all The tufted moss about their feet grows tall With threads of crimson; and drenched trilliums fold Dark cones below the fairy-lantern ' s gold. Along the sand of desert-dunes she drifts In prismed light; the red-winged black-bird lifts Bright shoulders high against a flame-lit sky, And hurrying quail boom dawn ' s primeval cry. From past the farthest planet God bends low: Beauty, my child, thou as My voice shalt go; ■While thou dost sing from mountain-peak to moor, Man ' s heart shall hear for Me. his eves adore. iS ' X lul iSS Si ■ ok. Mto Noble ' s Messag© Vo the Winter Class of 1931: California the Beautiful: Often we have heard it sung. Your book, filled with so many charming prints of California views, will always be treasured as one of our outstanding Annuals. Our State, probably more than any other, affords a wide range in diversity of climate and geographical conditions, making it the home of countless beauty spots. The snow capped Sierras look out over countless miles of waving grain, across vast stretches of colored desert and down green valleys of orange groves. Our coast line, stretching more than one thousand miles long, meets the breakers of the Pacific, here with a wooded cliff or barren pile of rock, and there with a secluded sandy beach. Truly, California the Beautiful. As you bid farewell to your high school days, may you resolve to appreciate and enjoy all of the advantages of our outdoor State. Yours sincerely. iS2 151 r 21 m. v QLv ■ J SEI ' {IS. £ Si 22 JoLv ART DEPARTMENT Roger J. Steriett. Head of Department Franklin R. Becker. Mech. Draw. Florence M. Goddard, Pottery Aimee Bourdieu.

Adinniam§t]rati©e Surpassing all previous records for enrollment, the total number of students in the Los Angeles High School for the term ending January 23, 1931 was 3675. Of this number, 1772 were boys; and 1903, girls. The Personnel department, the only office of its kind in any of the city high schools, is one of the most vital in the administration of the school. Grouped alphabetically, the students retain throughout high school, the same scholarship advisor. A Faculty ot 145 taught in 14 various departments during the term. Records showed that the physical education departments led in number of strudents enrolled, with 37S7, of whom 1912 were boys and 1875 were girls: the English department ranked second with an enrollment of 3280. while the social science classes came third with 2850. The enrollment of the other departments were Spanish, 1137; French, 552; Latin, 467; German, 54; and Greek, 6; 2195 in the sciences; 1603 in mathematics; 1476 in commerical subjects; 908 In music; 774 in art; 499 in home economics; and 374 in mechanical arts, including cabinet making, electricity, linotyping, and printing. This same growth of enrollment and attendance was indicative of the whole city system according to the official report of this November. New pupils enrolled during the month numbered 13.540 as compared with 13,134 in November of last year. The average daily attendance during the past month was 229,068, while in November of 1929 it was 220.157. Total enrollment for the month was 294.847 as against 285,003 Ihe preceding November. The entire reconstruction of the hall lockers and the painting of the interior of the building of Los Angeles High was completed during the summer vacation. The semester has been significant in bringing new laurels and honors to the Los Angeles High School. Permanent possession of the Evening Herald Oratorical Trophy marks an achievement in forensics. along with highly favorable standing in the Southern California debate league. For the fifth consecutive year, the R. O. T. C. has attained honor rating following inspection by United States Army officers. The students ' active use of the Memorial Library in Memorial Park across the street f ' -om the school this year adds to the already full list of privileges enjoyed by the students of the Los Angeles High School. The above constitute achievements of which we are justly proud. Appreciation is expressed to Superintendents of the City Schools, and to the Board of Education for their co-operation in making the term ' s improvements and achieve- ments possible. i Cv ' jSS ixS Si 26 x;3Lv Fir©§i(dl©et § M©§§ai© When I first came to Los Angeles High School as a tenth grader, I had a feeling of awe and wonder. As time went on, this feeling grew into one of respect and pride. I was proud of being a student of such an institution as L. A. High. I had seen track, football, baseball, debating, and other teams win championships. I had my reason to be proud of attending L. A. High. I am sure that the upper graders share that respect and pride with me. I am certain, also, that the lower graders will find themselves with the same feeling as the terms roll by. In graduating from this school, I should like to leave this message with the Student Body of the Los Angeles High School: make the best of your opportunities £.iid live by that motto of our school — Obedience to Law, Respect for Others, Mastery of Self, Joy in Service; these Constitute Life. If you follow this, the school will have reason to be as proud of you in the future as you are of her now. Goodbye and good luck, KENNETH STROM 2l 151 {j Jok. Ruby Oram Boh Smith Divi§i©e Fir©§idleet§ M©§§aig©§ Friends: In a shaded California grove, there stands a spare old sycamore, weather-beateu and dauntless. For centuries it has arrogantly reared its face toward the heavens. It has breasted storms, time, civilization. Yet each spring, young soft leaves hide the gnarled limbs: but soon the chill autumn winds sweep them far out to the high- wavs and bvwavs of the world. As the tree, so stands L. A., fearless, proud. Students enter and depart. But as the grey dawn of graduation pries open the doors of experience, each individual is conscious of having occupied a definite place in the machinery of the school. And as the pupils go. even as the leaves of the tired sycamore, they turn on the threshold oC life, and their last w ords are. Goodbye, my friends. Sincerely, RUBY ORAM Fellow Students: As an e.xecutive and a friend of yours. 1 speak to you with personal interest. Nowhere is there to be found a finer representative group of real upright American fellows than at the Los Angeles High School. Such responsiveness as yours to the various activities of the school, socially as well as athletically, will always pre- serve L. A. as a leading school. Serving such a loyal group of fellows certainly has been a real pleasure to me. Accept my sincere appreciation for the trust that you placed in me. I remain, always your friend, BOB SMITH jS 2l { 29 ok. Marjorie Bailie Rachj ' ord Harris Board Fresideets M©§§ag©§ Fellow Students: Just as our forefathers came to California and found beauty and joy in the great out-of-doors, so have we of the class of Winter ' 31 found joy in contributing to the achievements in scholastic and athletic endeavors of Los Angeles High. With the eve of the termination of our high school career descending upon us, both happiness and regret surge within us; happiness for the friendships and associa- tions gained while here, and regret that we were not able to serve and accomplish more. On behalf of the graduating members of the Senior Board, may I extend to the girls of the school our most sincere and deepest appreciation for their co-operation in making this past semester one of outstanding success. Your friend. MARJORIE BAILIE Fellow students: The close of this semester has terminated the service of the Senior Board members of the class of Winter ' 31. The success of the Boys ' Senior Board for Winter ' 31 has oeen largely due to the co-operation o£ the entire Student Body and to the splendid spirit of the school. This semester, the Board has endeavored to co-operate with every authoritative body of the school as well as to promote goodwill and sportsman- ship throughout the campus. In accordance with the motto. Obedience to law, the boys have carried out their duties sincerely with unprejudiced judgment. Truly a representative body, the Boys ' Senior Board, has endeavored to aid and serve the Student Body to the best of the members ' ability. I wish you the best of success and good luck in all undertakings. Sincerely. RACHPORD G.

This committee appoints the members of the Publicity Committee and takes charge of the elections in the House of Representatives.

All the homerooms are represented by their presidents. The organization grants appropriations from the Student Body fund only after carefully considering the requisition; it gives power to committees, boards, and to individuals to carry out its deci.sions. Another important duty of the House of Representatives is to amend the constitution of the school. The presidents discuss all business matters with the mem- bers of their homerooms and vote according to their instructions. Through this system, the government is strongly democratic. This term, an interesting project has been the completing of plans for the swimming pool. ijLS £ 32 Aiiv Milton Xewmatt Allen Zieyler Walter McNeil WiUard Hi7tldey Stuideet Body Maesig©]r§ Manager: Milton Xewniaii First assistant: Walter McNeil Second assistant: Allen Ziegler Third assistant: Willard Hinkley Sponsor: Mr. Hugh Spaulding The Student Body managers have charge of the printing and selling of tickets for all football and basketball games. They also handle the tickets for school entertain- ments, including the Senior Vod. and for all pay assemblies: and they collect money for charity drives. The fall term is exceptionally busy for the managers because of the heavy crowds of the football season and because of the Community Chest Drive. Besides these special duties, the managers have the daily task of selling carbooks for two railways, and towel and laundry tickets for both the Boys ' and Girls ' gym. The managers wish to thank the home room treasurers for their co-operation, and the members of the R. O. T.

It then consisted of five lines, two outside lines for girls, one outside line for boys, and two inside lines. The outside lines were protected by wire covering, and students stood in line to get their lunches. There were no cash registers then, but cash drawers. The dally receipts were one hundred and twenty five dollars. The present cafeteria system has developed until now there are fifteen lines, including nine outside lines, consisting of ice cream, candy, malted milk, and sand- wiches. The outside lines have booths instead of wire covering. The amount of money now taken in daily is about four hundred and fifty dollars. This sum goes to the Student Bodv fund. About 3200 students are served daily. iS - 21 5i ij ixS Sl 49 c ( i U ' fflp Lawrence Lapidus Gladys Koltzow Marjorie Hedin John Fay Seeior A Offieeirs President: Lawrence Lapidus Vice-president: Marjorie Hedin Secretary: Gladys Koltzow Treasurer: John Pay Sponsors: Miss Florence Schofleld Miss Lucy Adams With mingled feelings of sorrow at parting and happy anticipation for the future our Class of W31 leaves the wal ls of her Alma Mater.

This is a society for public service, com- posed of the graduates of city high schools who give most promise of becoming civic leaders. The organization has regular meetings at which noted authorities discuss matters of local and national importance. The Ephebian membership is composed of one out of every forty graduates of the senior high schools. The Faculty vote at each school chooses those students most fit to be Ephebians on the basis of merit in scholarship, leadership, and character. The nine chosen from the Los Angeles High School class of Winter ' 31 are: Pauline Allison, Herman Dreyer, Racliford Harris, Rosemarie Leideuberger, Jean McGibbon, Suzanne Muchmore, Lawrence Nessamar, Beth Pingree, William Robinson, Edward Rydalch. £ - Sl 1 £iS 84 Olv I 1 i Pauline Allison Rachford Harris William S.

U. S. A.. April 1. 1970 V ol. I No. 1 __ DEATHVILLE TO HONOR FOUNDER Celebrating the thirtieth anniversary ot its founding. Deatliville tonight tenders a banquet in honor ot Jack Fallienl)urg. engineer, who dug a tunnel from the ocean to Death Valley, and by this irri- gation system established Deathville for the express purpose of producing Salt Water Taffy. Jack or Victor Schwartz. mayor, will preside. At this early date, it has not been determined which one will have the night shift. After a great deal of effort, we are proud to announce that Elizabeth Sutherland will speak on the Southland. Miss Sutherland is a fam- ous globe trotter, having once visited Agua Caliente. Clifford Cans will orate on the subject, We Mean Business. Ad- vance warnings state that the approxi- mate time at which he will begin is 8:40. Janitor Prank O ' Neill, realizing the import of this occasion, has thrown open the doors of the city hall where the banquet will be held. Deathville is proud of such citizens as Mr. O ' Neill and thanks him from the bottom of its heart. A beautiful carved borax cup from the firm of Drew and Dreyer will be presented to Mr. Palkenburg. Caterer S. Muehmore and Chef L. Nes- samar have charge of the menu. Dec- orations are being perpetrated by flor- ist Teagarden. Rachford Harris, famous head waiter, announces that his wait- rixes will be Rosemarie Leidenberger, Phyllis Brasier, and Loretta Scott. Traf- fic cop. Lawrence Lapidus, asks all at- tending to please tie their aeroplanes to the lightening rod outside the city hall in order to avoid congestion. Bill Rob- inson, in his favorite parachute, will check in the ships. Price 00c MASTER MIND INVENTS NEW AMUSEMENT Scotty Oraham, intrepid biologist, has patented a new toy. It has been named the Cracker and was produced by cross- ing a roller coaster with a kiddie car and a harmonica with a brass horn. The hybrids were then combined. The result is guaranteed to produce hysterics. Leroy Haller, newly elected president of the Graham Cracker Corporation, an- nounced that the first model off the press has been purchased by Miss Norma Bah- renburg, hostess of the Deathville Club for her guests ' amusement. Lillian Gol- ub and Bob Breen found it extremely entertaining. It is unfortunate that at present they are both in the hospital recovering from their experience with it last Saturday night. Gordon Thomas, salesman for the new company, invites the public to have a tree trial this week. It will be perfectly safe as Dr. Whole- man Grigsby will be in attendance to finish what ever the Cracker starts. Ray Miller, chief demonstrator, will be re- placed by Ralph Mac Arthur. Mr. Miller is ill with an attack of pneumonia, con- tracted when his parachute failed him over the new city resevoir. NOBEL PRIZE GIVEN GRAVE For the first time since 1930. the Nobel prize visited the shores of America when a Grave resident, Barbara Melville, was awarded the Science and Invention prize for her patented invention of a hair-pin that will hold a butterfly twist in shape for a school-day. This will be of great benefit to the younger generation, and enthusiastic espousers of their cause were the first to congratulate her. 87 Iflf V t| i ,v,iLUJ ff fr t T ' llfilTOffT DEATHVILLE DAILY HEAT STEEL MAGNATE LETS FOR- TUNE GO TO DOGS Declaring that he had no use tor money, Charles Kanne today dedicated his en- tire wealth to the establishment of a home for down and out dogs. This vast sum of $100 is to build and main- tain a place where all such dogs may go and enjoy a free night ' s lodging and meal that would otherwise be denied them. It is also Mr. Kanne ' s intention to post signs of his refuge throughout Deathville. so that all such needy dogs may easily find their way. John Fay, Mr. Kanne ' s lawyer, stated that he had long been aware that Mr. Kanne contemplated such a move; but up till the time the last paper was signed, he had hoped to persuade him to build a home for insane news re- porters. TRAVELER BRINGS NEWS Milton Ronney has returned to Death- ville from the East, where he inspected his now famous chain of theaters, thus achieving a boyhood ambition. He tells of meeting Elmarie Rasmussen, renowned dresser of Christmas doll babies, who is working in Samuel Pinks Department Store. On his way East, Mr. Ronney stopped at Queenston College, where a football player, the last of a now ex- tinct group of society, is on exhibition. The specimen is said by Mr. Ronney to be slightly demented, running up and down a field, wildly waving a placard on which are grouped the words Chuck Cheshire, W31, Beat Poly. Educators have been unable to tell the significance of the words, though the first undoubted ly is the person ' s name. It is at present in the custody of Mr. Hugh Ferguson, who is said to be the only person allowed inside the field. FAMOUS ARTIST SEEKS HEALTH LOST ON TRIP Howard Smith, renowned designer and painter of Halloween masks, is so- journing at present in our fair city. On a recent week-end visit to the South Pole, Mr. Smith found his health miss- ing. Becoming alarmed, he hastened to Deathville where he hopes to recover it at an early date. He is staying at Joe Domenico ' s Tomb Inn, from which the invalid issued a statement to the effect that he would leave Deathville in full possession of his faculties or not at all. We expect to see a great deal of Mr. Smith. HINT SCANDAL IN SALT WATER Bringing suit against the Salt Water Taffy Company, Eleanor Moran early this morning declared that she expects at least $5.00 damages. Miss Moran charges that Edward Cuzner, fifteenth vice-president of the company, abduct- ed her salt cellar and seasoned the waters of Death Valley, thereby aiding the com- pany with goods belonging to her. Ad- rein Guichot, attorney for the plaintiff, requested that District Attorney Mark Cross call an inquest on the shore of Desert Beach in order that it may be determined whether or not the salt is from Miss Moran ' s cellar. Detective Milton Newman has been hired by Mr. Cuzner to investigate the alleged crime. Mr. Newman states that he has detected the salt In the water; but until Louis Blau arrives with his famous bloodhounds, he will be unable to unravel further clews. The case will be tried before Judge A rthur Sherwood, famous jurist, who presided over the notoi ' ious case of the people against Irviii Child, and sentenced the People to life. j52 ui iiS i2 : 3i 8S - tAV DEATHVILLE DAILY HEAT DEATHVILLE VARSITY PRE- PARED FOR GRAVE Meeting the Skeletons from our rival town. Grave, in a tooth and nail battle for victory on Cemetery Field today, the Deathville Ghosts are ready for the greatest ping-pong battle of the ages. Captain Mort Harris declares that his men are in splendid condition. Harold Connal has a broken neck, and Dick Hopper is complaining slightly of a fractured leg; but aside from these trifles, the team is eager for the struggle. Cap- tain Harris announces that the following lineup will take the bleachers: Stanley Hickman, forward; John Caspar, pivot; Don Eversol. goal; and Mark Roberts, water boy. Chief Skeleton Coleman R eynolds of Grave is quoted as saying, No matter whether we are beaten or not, we Intend to win the game. At the contest last year, the Ghosts completely submerged the invaders from Grave under the leadership of Glen Gummes. The score was 1-0. An unneccessary accident last year slightly marred the proceeding. Time- keeper Jack Teasdale, in his excitement at seeing Deathville losing, shot his gun. After Scorekeeper Betty Mathews of Graves regained consciousness, the wea- pon was unfortunately found to be load- ed. It was all right, however, as Death- ville won anyway; but Gatekeeper Ar- thur Chung requested that such inci- dents be avoided if possible as it litters up the field. Ping-pong Is a new sport, having been introduced into Deathville some 20 years ago by Mr. Bill Mullins, famous pingist from Pong. Coach Victor Reid declares that his team will turn the Skeletons right back to the Grave in this game. A record attendance of 13 is expected. SPORT NOTES Don Shearman is promoting a new box- ing arena for Deathville. He promises to provide excellent matches, and has already procured Ralph Byron and Stev- en Weisman for an exhibition dumbell act. Ralph I ' liillips and Jack Farnell have completed a course in the art of fishing. Gold fish should be locked indoors, espec- ially the golder fish. Miss Pauline Allison and Miss Mar- jorie Bailie have requested that the town provide free parking space for all fans attending the marble matches. The girls are innocent devotees of the sport and should be encouraged in their interest. Miss Beth Pingree recently established a record for driving a golf ball over 2000 yards. She didn ' t use an Austin. Varsity coach Lory Rothert assures the Daily Heat that the Tiddly Winks team has a greatly improved approach. Mem- bers of his team are Jean McGibbon, Alice Jacobsen, Daisy Rae Kahn, and Helen Diacos. MERMAIDS ACHIEVE FAME Miss Helen Hoelzel and Miss Martha Richardson today concluded their great race of ten yards to finish in a tie. The time was two hours. This race is excel- lent considering that it was necessary to revive Miss Hoelzel after every stroke. In the same meet, Lois Eckerson edged out Mary Dickson in a five hour contest over a 100 yard course. Until the last five minutes, the race was a toss up. The fact that Miss Dickson lost her water-wings in the crucial hour, is claim- ed by experts to have had some bearing on the outcome. iS 2L 151 ijS iS 2v 89 f f DEATHVILLE DAILY HEAT BOAT RACES TO BE POST- PONED IF NIGHT FALLS stating that the date for the races would be indefinitely set ahead if the finish line must be passed in darkness, E.

Oyer dusty roads and at the expense of a diet of tinned foods campers seek a beauty that they only dimly appreciate. They stand before the great trees and exclaim garrulously, Ain ' t they just grand? Is it anv wonder that such people will turn to light a cigarette, then, and five minutes later toss it, glowing, into the dry underbrush? By far the greater number of forest fires are caused in just this careless fashion. These people do not commit the crime wilfully nor in ignorance. It is unheeding carelessness for which there can be but one cure. . ,, • . That cure is appreciation. The beginning of appreciation is in the desire to visit the wilds and hill country, but it is only a frail beginning, arising from cur- iosity to be subtlv trained.

We like to hear that said and acknowledge it without further comment. That, however, is just where the difficulty lies. In short, we take our natural beauty and our climate for granted Too few of us really appreciate the golden opportunities that nature offers us here in our verv own state. We say we have a desire to travel and view different scenes of beauty. If we do travel, we really appreciate what we have here, for we never find anything to equal our own state. . , . „ • What we should do is to appreciate now what we have. The wisest plan of all is to know our own state first, and then we shall really appreciate and realize the magnificent beauties that California possesses. We not only have mountains, rivers, valleys and cities- but we have the finest workmanship of nature, the real true craft of nature represented here within our own boundaries. After we discover our own and marvel at our own and really love our own state more, then shall we be able to understand that California is truly the best example of that wonderful worker, nature, who has exhibited her skill in the moulding and building of our state, -wait- ing patiently for its own people to come and love it more CLIFFORD GANS Business manager 2l ' . iJL 101 AijL K Since time began, man has been moving westward, eagerly searching for a land cf peace and beauty to call his own. Thus it was with our Calit ' ornian pioneers. Through heat, cold, sickness, and dispair. they dreaming, fighting, hoping, pushed onward towards their goal. At las t, they found the reason for their sacriflce, the answer to their dreams: and at the brink of the setting sun, they consecretated with their all, our Golden State. Let us give to the founders of our state the glory that should be theirs. Let us remember that the door to our happiness was opened by the strength of their love, their sacrifice, and their dreams that would not die. One of the finest ways we may show our appreciation tor their sacrifices is to bring ourselves through education and observation to admire, preserve, and perpetuate the beauty of California ' s Great Outdoors. Thus we shall be able to show them we real- ize that when at last through the weight of their sacrifices they fell, Upon the great world ' s altar-stairs That slope thro ' darkness up to God, they left to us as a heritage the land of peace and beauty that man has been search- ing for so long. JEAN McGIBBON Senior A editor California is called the Golden State; but its treasure in this modern time is not gold that can be mined nor spent, neither can it be destroyed. It is more valuable by far than any form of metal. It consists of everything that is beautiful, whether natural or fashioned by the hand of man. It is the wealth of everyone in California. Destroy it, and this land of beauty and romance would be but a sordid manufacturing territory. We do not want any of our California ' s attractions destroyed, but it is not enough merely to wish. We must labor if we would save California as it is now. Every day we hear of some new depredation perpetrated by a blundering or callous intelligence Great territories are deforested, and many of our natural wonders bear the mark of unfeeling people. We have the power to prevent all vandalism of that kind if we really desire. Let us make it our duty to enlighten everyone concerning the great importance of preserving California as she is, so that she will go down the years standing for the qualities that everyone seeks, Romance, Beauty, Enchantment! BILL ROBINSON Photo manager California has rightfully been named the Golden State. It is composed of all the golden bits of natural and man made beauty. The majestic Redwood Highway and romantic Palm Springs are localities of awesome delight to all their spectators. We claim as ours such natural wonders as one of the highest falls in the world, the Yosemite, which create added enchantment to the already breath-taking loveliness of the Yosemite Park. The residents of California have more incitement for homage and deference than those of any other country. They take great pride in their land and are great enthusiasts over it; yet the deserving reverence is lacking. Instead of doing the utmost to maintain, build, and extend the beauty of California, our land is disfigured in innumerable ways. Because of the carelessness of many, raging forest fires demolish a part of our natural artistry each year. By refuse, by lasting but foolish inscriptions, and by cheapening signs, many sites which would ordinarily cause admiration are defaced by those lacking veneration for California ' s beauty. Californians do love their state; and therefore to prove this, each citizen ' s profound duty is reverence; a reverence which shall display itself in any manner which will make this state one of undying beauty. We are the future of our state. Let each take seriously upon himself the duty of making California, the world ' s everlasting inspiration of beauty. Upon our sincere reverence for our state rests its future greatness. HELEN HOELZEL Individual photo manager js lis £S Si 102 Ijd Moeetaie Fa§§e§ of Calnforeia Upper Dimslon Prize In California today, we still find spots untouched by the hands of men. This fact mav seem rather strange; however, there are thousands of passes; and the tour that I have chosen will do well to illustrate my point. They all lie within the boundaries of the Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. Entering from the north, we come first upon Donoliue Pass. Douohue is one of the most difficult of high Sierra passes to surmount, having an elevation of 11.500 feet. Its main barriers are the perpetual snow fields on the northern slopes, extensions of Lvell glacier on Mount Lyell rising 13,090 feet m the eouth. The ascent must be made through snow fields to the summit where Donohue Peak may be seen in the north rising to a chimney. 12.073 feet. There is us+ially a storm raging in the pass that threatens man and beast with death as they pick their way south around Alpine glaciers to the safety of Rush Creek Valley. This pass marks the boundarv line for Tuolumne and Mono counties. It is also an excellent water shed, supplying eventually the Tuolumne River and Mono Lake; the latter is soon to be part of the Los Angeles water system. This pass is open only from about mid-May to mid-September because of the heavy snow fall. Farther south, the second pass divides the country at a height of 12.059 feet. This bears the name of its conquerer. John Muir, hardy explorer and famed natural- ist The approaches are easy; a gradual ascension through rocky gorges, finally widens out to harbor several small lakes of frogs. Going over is simple; and if one has windproof clothes, one does not experience discomfort. The lakes are found in Evolution Basin on the west side of the pass, and are the source of Evolution Creek, a tributary of the San Joaquin River, On the east side, the middle fork ot the Kings River originates. ,„,n, r The third and highest of this group is Bishop pass. A blizzard up at 1_,100 feet is not comfortable, especially when one is thinly clad and armed with a trout rod and a mosquito net. I happen to know this for I was caught in just that costume and under those circumstances. My lust for trout overcame me, and I lost the trail m the face of blinding clouds of snow and rain, spending an unhappy night in the lee of a boulder. At dawn when I was quite frozen and half asleep, my party came lo my rescue The pass forms the southern extremity of the Inconsolable range, and from the east side the most magniflcant view in the Sierras is unfolded. To the north may be seen the floor of Owens Valley, and on the south Mount Whitney looms out 35 miles away. The next pass is considerably farther south from Muir Pass and probably enjoys tue title of the bleakest of the group. It rises 11.333 feet and takes its name from the character of the rock which forms it. granite. It is the northern entrance to Granite Basin of Sequoia and is the only trail over the Monarch Divide. On the north side are the headwaters of Dougherty Creek, a tributary of the middle tork of the King ' s River- from Granite Basin on the south, flows Granite Creek to the south fork of the king ' s River. There is absolutely no animal life existing within the pass ' oecause of the lack of soil and consequently lack of flora. The name would seem to imply a mass of rock, and the pass bears out this significance to perfection. My list of passes having been aired, as it were, I will proceed to sum up my proof. The point has been to find places free from man ' s influences, and I may say that I have located them roaming over just such portals as these. A pass is almost human when seen in the mountains, for the reason that one looks up to it to guide one m his wanderings. It is always, one more range and then we will camp, or one more pass to look over. that drives the true mountaineer on. A keen satisfaction Is iov in life and one wav to get it after a tremendous struggle, is to surmount one of these obstacles and look back on the day ' s accomplishment. To see and feel the wind and storms, and to suffer privations is hard; but it is harder for the true man to stay at home after a taste of these. The real men have always the desire to pioneer and to explore no matter how dormant these qualities may be, and to these men, this country is a Valhalla. Letting nothing stand in their way, they roam the hills to their heaVts ' content. They have business obligations in the city, and they return to keep them Once more, however, when the snow melts, they are off with their packs ,o ro.,n .hrousl, p.s. upon ,..., r.e .M tappy. _ STODDAKD iS 2l 15i ij 103 Moeet Wlhiteey Photo by courtesy of PictoTial California Majesty of moxmtain peaks, snow-croivned kings of all that look upon them. f :- ' 3  Jourtesy of orial California ' vA Jr Valley of th© Ghosts Most of the wonders of our state have been praised and eulogized countless times, our magnificent forests, the placid fields, the great sea that bounds California ' s western edge, our lakes, our mountain.s. the climate always, even the desert, all the manifold wonders of our land of plenty. Yet there is one place often avoided as a place of horror and suffering. This spot lies sunken in the heart of the Mojave Desert, a narrow vallev of mvstery and heat and death, a veritable dwelling place of ghosts, ' Death Vallev. ' The name itself conjures up uninviting visions. The valley ' s reputation for unbearable heat, cruel dryness, and a mysterious power to destroy nil who enter calls forth worse reactions. These stories have all contributed, I believe, to malce Death Valley one of the most misunderstood regions on earth. A brief history of Death Valley will help explain many of these mysteries and legends of the country, and also show how it came to be so rich in salts and ores. The valley geologically speaking, was formed by faulting and slipping between the Amargosa and Pananiint mountain ranges. Between nineteen and fifteen million years ago, these ranges were, low; and their southern portions, where Death Valley now lies, were covered bv a lake. From time to time, the lake evaporated; chemical deposits were washed down onto the valley floor, and thus was built up for centuries an almost untouched heritage of wealth. This narrow cleft betw een the mountains, so richly endowed by nature, received its name after the terrible death of a party of pioneers. This group of gold seekers divided from the rest at Salt Lake and went south, blazing a new- trail of their o vn. This southward path grew increasingly rougher and harder to traverse until finally they were confronted by the rugged Funeral Mountains which border the valley. Alter hours of terrific effort, they finallv scaled the mountains and made their way to the valley floor. The unfortunate party spent one horrible night in the narrow basin. The next morning, in a frantic effort to find a spring, the searchers scattered; and all but twelve of the thirty who entered the little desert died in the cruel heat for lack of water. One of the twelve who escaped, a man named Bennett, told the story of the death of his comrades and helped give the valley its name. In making his way out of the basin, he discovered a spring. As he rested there, he idly broke off a piece of rock. Later, in one of the settlements which he finally reached, it was discovered that the rock was very rich in silver. After this news spread abroad, many prospectors made their way to Death Valley in a vain search for silver lode. Aside from the mineral wealth of this little desert, it offers the treasure of beauty and health giving in a way more valuable than any gold or chemical. Death Valley is really only a deep gash between two towering mountain ranges, a wound left from a terrific struggle of nature. Time has not softened its contours, nor changed its strange awesome beauty, eternally fresh from the hand of God. Here are swept all the artificialities, leaving only the sky and sun. mountains and sand, and breathless beauty. Death Valley is like some great lives; they have known pain and death, misery and defeat; yet they rise supreme above all to a splendor and nobility almost divine. , . , , . ■ j The wearv traveler can but feel the spell and power of this desert. As he stands on one of the mountain ledges and looks out across the valley, watches the subtle changes that slowlv sweep the basin, sees the silve r brilliance of the shining sand where men have died, crazed from thirst and heat, observes the radiant hues of the rugged mountains, the clouds of misty color that float over this desert, he feels his tired spirit lifts again in hope since such exquisiteness exists in a world so drab. At night the stars bang low in the heavens; dim lamps light up the eternity of Ekv and sand The tortured beauty of day finds repose in the gentle peace of night as ' those wearv of soul and body find relief from life ' s bright daylight in this soft blue desert night of God. For those who have found this spiritual and physical vacation this strange little desert is not a valley of death, but one of lite renewed, a place that gives inspiration to rise triumphant over hopes and dreams that have died so that beauty shall be the only lasting mark when the struggle is ended. Thus because of nature ' s gifts of wealth and loveliness, we see the mists of horror and fear the ghosts conjured up by legend and superstition fade and die away before the clear light of truth which reveals the splendid heritage so freely offered to us by Death Valley.

Jtjj L A Storm ie ttlh© Hills Chris Warner was disgusted with Hie in Reneral, and that is no way for a university man to teel. Nuts. he muttered as he shoved a small rock from the houlder on ' which he lay sprawled like a lizard in the sunshine. He listened to it as it fell, scraping the cliff, crashing through the brush, and finally shattering into a thousand pieces on t!ie level far below. He was still a moment, thinking. Chri.s had graduated from California in S ' 28 and had started work, at his father ' s request, in the San Francisco Stock Exchange. A stuffy office filled with the heat of humanitv: Ugh! Chris loved the out-of-doors. Life was what he wanted, freedom, not slaverv ' in a cooped up office; however, he had stuck it out for two years to please his dad. And then, when he was just about to blow up. he left and turned toward the hills. His friends had laughed, declaring that he could not live without money and that he would be back at the old grind within six months. Others had called him a good-for-nothing and a make-shift, and said that he was only going to the mountains because he would not have to work. Nevertheless. Chris decided that he would rather be a grizzled old hermit than work his head off and sink so deep in the stifling atmos- phere of the business world that a breath of wind from a snow-capped peak would do very little toward reviving him. But somehow the past five months in hermitage beneath the shadow of a mighty mountain in the Sierras had not proved quite the satisfaction he had expected or had desired. Chris rolled over, broke a twig from a small pine that was weathering its way heavenward from the rocky slope below, and ponderingly began to chew it. Then slo vly he drew himself up and gazed at the vastness about him. To the east, ominous black storm clouds were gatherin.? rapidly. The color in the sky was fading as a light wind swittlv swept a thin mist across the blue. The wind rose, and the far away peal of thunder and the faint clashes of lightning told him the forces of nature were at work. The clouds were drawing near. now. killing the light in the sky. Light- ning flashed on nearby peaks and ridges: the air was heavy and oppressive. Chris withdrew to the shelter of an overhanging rock as the rain poured forth, skattering down upon his boulder, and bending the small pine that was nosing up beside it. Nod- ding and twisting in the storm, the little pine stood firm. With each deafening crash of thunder, its needles shook so tremulously that Cris thought surely with the next windy gust of rain it would be uprooted from its rocky bed: but the pine ducked and bobbed at each renewed charge, seeming thoroughly to enjoy the sport. Then, as though the rain had tired in its play against the resolute pine, it slackened in its volume; the wind died to desultory puffs. To the east, the sun glinted doubtLuUy on the clean green tiora of the forests. In a short time, the landscape was steaming under the benevolent and now steady gaze of the sun. Chris ventured forth to his boulder with a kindly regard for the small pine. Everything w as fresh in color; the small pine fairly sparkled in the clean, sharp air. All the colors in the rainbow shone forth from the tips of its shimmeTing cones. Chris looked at it and smiled. A gentle puff of wind sent the crystal drops of water on its needles flying in all directions; fairly grinning with its freshness, the small pine settled itself very much as would a puppy. Chris sat down before it on his boulder. Gee whiz! What a shirker I have been, running away from work because it wasn ' t under just the conditions I would choose. I guess I didn ' t know what life is. Oh, I ' m a fool not to have seen it sooner. You. little pine. yes. you ' re the one; you, who so ihoroughlv enjoyed bobbing in the wind and rain, you ' ve made me see it. I can bo like you. I can take an active part in the storms of the world and call it great sport. You bet I can, and I will. He reached over and tugged at the pine ' s branches affectionately. Then pulling himself up. he stretched, and gazed about him. The storm had set in the west with the sun, and the gold of the reflection was redoubled on the hills and peaks. Gold sprinkled through the purple depths of the trees and the jagged peaks. As he stood erect, he knew he was not through with contact in life! Activity was life, and activity was what he loved. Gee! With one last look at the little pine, Chris Warner whirled around and marched off to face with more determination the ways of man.

The velvet green was damp with the night dews: the tali sugar pines made Krotes(iue shadows on the rocks; the little stream sparkled and laughed aloud as though it knew a great many secrets, and the night winds sang queer little mysterious melodies to the huge golden moon. The sky was deep blue and flecked with bits of gold that were stars. Peace, quiet all the loveliness of the world was there. The sound of soft animal feet stole into the heavy silence. A long branch swayed as a young buck coming into the moonlit glade, passed and hirushed against it. He was -wary, weary, and bloodstained; one leg dragged, useless, behind him. He stopped as he reached the stream and looked around. His great, brown eyes were human in their expression of fear and suffering. He bent his head and drank, his ears moving backward, forward, listening always; but no other sound disturbed the stillness. His hot, dry tongue cooled, the buck staggered back to the shadow and lay down. His attitude was restful; but his eyes were still fearful, and his ears alert. Suddenly, a sound alien to the surroundings — the sound of man! The buck ' s eyes dilated; he tried to rise; but his maimed leg had stiffened and held him back. He staggered in vain. A shot cut through the night; his struggles became less violent, he lay back: his eyes became glazed .... The brooklet ' s laughter turned to sobbing: a tiny black cloud blew across the golden moon: the dew. in the blackness, looked like tears. Perhaps it was, for the sugar pines were bending low, and tears would prove their grief. lONE BELL Forest Raegeir Vibrant sunlight That warms With its radiance Streams through a dusty window, Playing about the phonograph And cedar-scented walls — A Bible on the canvas table — The smell of bacon — And sweat of healthy bodies.

IRENE GLUCK SSl 151 iSS no JlA Their Majesties The most iiiannificoiU. overwhelmingly beautiful and awe-inspiriuK plant growth iu the world, is the priceless possession of the proud people of California. The mam- outh sequoia, the Rig Tree, and the gigantic redwood, having withstood the des- tructive glacial movement, are living to raise their majestic heads proudly, many feet above their fellows, to face the centuries to come and the hardships to be encountered. Standing stolidlv steadfast, they remain to let an awe stricken world gaze with gasps of incredulity upon them. And. to conserve these monarchial giaiits, the United Slates government is formulating plans that will preserve them for the people of future centuries to gaze upon, enraptured. California is the logical place to be the home of such trees. Continually moist from the fog along the Pacific Coast, effectively sheltered from destructive winds, unselfishlv bathed in warm California sunshine, and zealously protected from fire, these tiees will continue to grow and be inspiring companions and neighbors to California ' s posterity. Under such conditions. California can reasonably be expected to possess the groves of the mammoth sequoia which we find in Sequoia National Park. This spot is a paiadise for tree lovers, and it is in this grove that His Majesty, General Sherman, a giant sequoia, has attained the age of six thousand years and has reached tremendous proportions. This genre of sequoia tree will always remain as a creditable monument to the stately Indian chief. Sequoiyah, after whom it was named. On the western and protected side of the high Sierras, a few stupendous Big Trees a specie of the sequoia that escape d the great ice movement, plant their gnarled roots firmlv in California soil. Near Yosemite is situated the famous Mari- posa Grove of Big Trees that contains the well known Grizzly Giant and other specimen trees of great size and age. This tree of Gargantuan dimensions not only adds beauty and dignity to this state of ours, but protects the thirsty lowlands from thawing floods and loss of precious water. Among the giant sugar pines and red firs it lifts its wonderfully regular, rounded dome so far above the aspiring arrow tips of its neighbors that it makes the best of them look like mere saplings. The massive trunk, clothed with red. brown, or purple bark, is fluted by furrows often more than a foot in depth. The trunk is usually bare of limbs for a hundred feet, clearing the forest cover completely before throwing out its angular stout arms. These branch at last into a rounded mass of leafy twigs whose density and brilliant color express the beauty and vigor of eternal youth which counts its age by thousands of years. , ,, . , Their Majesties the gigantic redwood trees, are more slender and tall and have a more light and graceful leaf than the sequoia or Big Tree. They often attain «i height of three hundred and forty feet, and a diameter at the base of from twenty to thirty feet To an awe stricken observer, these giants seem to be resting their noble heads against the bosom of the sky; and they seem to exhale a quiet and mysterious air as of being in the presence of the Eternal Being. The slanting rays of golden light piercing their wav through the thick roof here and there, heighten the mysterious effect. Truly, it is diflSeult to pull one ' s self away from this abode of theaucients. the valley of the giants, and to return to a bustling world. More than one half of Their Majesties are in the hands of speculators and lumber companies. Exploitation of Nature ' s best treasure is as old as the human race and the idea of conservation is still in its infancy. However, the government believes that bv purchasing all of the giant redwood bearing land, and by allowing rational methods of harvesting the mature lumber, and by insisting upon the con- servation of the young growth, this problem can be solved. The ideal conditions prevailing in California have done their share in conserv- ing these trees thus far. The Sequoia, the Big Tree, and the redwood ' s gift to the world are too beautiful, too valuable to be lost or destroyed by the biting axe, forest fire or grazing flocks.

O haughty ones Who watch the world With reproachful eyes, Tell me, I beg, thy secret. Then I thought a voice, As deep as thunder. And tender as a gentle wind.

ANNETTA FOSTER iS SL 1 ij 113 . .JsA Eiglhity Years of CaHfoirma Elastoiry The birth and youth of a state often supply to its history the incidents that seem most exciting. It is the period of what is called dramatic interest , remarks Bolton in his book, California ' s Story. So the early history of California comprises three great dramatic eras, which include the development of government, industry, and cities. Our growth is amazing, for from a few, scattered, sleepy, little pueblos has risen a prosperous and mighty land. Old picturesque Monterey, in August, 1849, was the scene of the first constitutional convention. At this meeting, the forty-eight sturdy, pioneer delegates formed our first consti- tution and made two important decisions: slavery was voted against; and the present boundary was adopted. A year later California was admitted to the Union on Sept- ember 9, this news reached the Californians thirty eight days later. About this time in San Francisco, we find conditions quite intolerable because of the lack of law or order. A group of fearless men under the leadership of William T. Coleman, organized the famous Vigilance Committee in 1851. Through scrupulous and untiring efforts, this committee rid the city of criminals. Wlien, a few years later, the evil of jeopard- izing the ballot box sprang up. this committee reorganized and dispelled these law- breakers. In these Vigilante days, news from the Atlantic Coast took a month to reach San Francisco by boat, and six weeks across the continent. Through necessity, plans were originated for more rapid communication and transportation. The first of these plans resulted in the Pony Express, a mail route extending between St. Joseph, Missouri, and San Francisco. History is imbued with the adven- tures of the riders of this perilous route, which was finally displaced by a telegraph line, in 1861. The problem of communication was thus solved. As for transportation, the demand for a transcontinental railroad was then greater than ever. Theodore Judah, an enthustastic young engineer, succeeded in having Congress pass the Pacific Railroad Act. In 1869, after five more years of tremendously diflJcuIt work, the Cen- tral Pacific Railroad was completed. Thus th e great California system of transporta- tion began. To build this great railway, it was necessary to import thousands of Chinese coolies. Because they worked for such low wages, they incurred the dislike of the Californians. Dennis Kearny, a rather dynamic orator, only fanned the dislike into hatred. Fortunately, at this time, the state constitution was revised, and Chinese exclusion was therein embodied. Men, no longer dissatisfied, turned to industry. Our industrial development followed Sutter ' s discovery of gold in 1849: mining remained the chief occupation for a decade. After the fascination of becoming rich over night subsided, men began to work at industries of more stability. Of these, cattle and sheep raising were the most prominent. Soil and climatic conditions were also very suitable for grain growing. The low price of these fertile lands brought thousands of people to California. Other industries followed, such as the citrus fruit, lumber, dairy, poultry, and finally the motion pictures. All these enterprises have gone to make up our California communities. The manner in which Riverside came into existence in 1870 is told in Robert Gleland ' s interesting book, the March of Industry. Riverside derived its name in the year after its founding because of the nine mile canal which the pioneers built from the Santa Ana River. Tremendous hardships were endured by these determined people who came from all parts of America and built up our glorious California. The only disasters, occurred in 1906, when the fire, resulting from the great earthquake, destroyed most of the city of San Francisco, and the overflowing of the Colorado River, which threatened to submerge the whole Imperial Valley. Since 1906, though, California has experienced the most remarkable progress. Two of our most beautiful cities, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, are magnificent e.xamples of the Anglo Saxon ability to organize. We may trace the adventure lov- ing spirit of man from the Orient to California. Has he not gone around the world, from east to west, and back to east again, in search of adventure? Thus we realize, with simple pride, similarities between our fair land and the description given in the eight chapter of Deuteronomy: The Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land a land wherein thou shall eat bread without scarceness, and thou shalt not lack anything in it.

California-s deserts are as beautiful as the state itself. In the center of these vast sun scorched lands is a lone lonelv ranee of hills, which neatly divides the desert into two sections. To the northward lies the Mojave Desert, and to the southward stretches the Colorado Desert Yet in spite of this division, the desert is one majestic vastness. A certain mvsterv exists in its wilderness, a ni.vstery inconceivable until one has actuallv visited it. lat a glorious feeling it is to be able to sleep upon the warm desert «ands with onlv the starlit skv as companion! It gives one a spiritual leeling ot peace and rest, and brings him into a close contact with God. There is a mystery in the winds and sands. The sanda. driven by winds, build and bury year after year, vnd vet strangest of all mysteries is the mirage. How many a weary traveler has been deceived by it! Imagine his disappointment when, upon reaching a certain location and being prepared for a cool drink of water, he finds that the sun s rays have deceived him. It is one of the most pitiful deceptions that can befall the trav- eler, and yet it is beautiful because of its mystery. n u- ■ i,,.;., However, the most wonderful sight of all is the desert in bloom. This is during a short period of about three to four weeks. The flowers make the desert a beautiful vision of color. The evening primrose with its rich creamy blossoms pertunies the air with its sweet fragrance, the mohavea. the desert ' s orchid with its tints of purple vellow. and creamv white, the gilia in tender blue and shy pmk, and ine lavender and gold aster, all tend to give the desert the delicate colors ot an artist s V ' hat a thrill then to stand upon the desert at sunset! To gaze ahead and see its grav background flecked with the colorful tints of its flowers! And to see the sun- set with its purple and orange rays against the snow peaked mountains m the distance! Truly, it is a sight well worth seekin g! The average person thinks of the desert as a place of heat, sand, and desolation; but not until he has seen it in its beauty can he fully understand why artists often take the desert as inspiration ' or many of their beautiful creations.

DEAN MELVILLK The Saerirsi M©vadsi§ Go wherever vou mav within the bounds of California, mountains are ever in sight, charming and glorifying the landscape. Yet so simple and massive is the topo graphy of our state in general views that the main central portion has only one valley, and the two chains of mountains seem almost perfectly regular in shape and height with the Coast Range on the west side and the Sierra Nevada on the east. The Loasl Range rising as a great green barrier against the ocean, from two thousand to eight thousand feet high, is composed of innumerable forest-crowned spurs, ridges, and rolling hill-waves which enclose a multitude of smaller valleys looking out through long forest-lined vistas to the sea. The Sierra Nevada Range is about five hundred miles long seventv miles wide, and from seven thousand to almost fifteen thousand feet in height In general views, no visible mark of man is seen upon it, nor is there anything to suggest the richness of the life it holds, or the depth and grandeur oC its sculpture. None of its magnificent forest-crowned ridges rise much above the general level to make known its size. Even the summit-peaks, so clear and high In the skv, seem comparatively smooth and featureless. In miinv places, the main canyons slide into large and spacious valleys or parks, diversified like artificial landscapes, with charming groves and meadows, and thickets of blooming bushes. The picture is framed by giant cliff-walls, towering hundreds even thousands of feet into the clear mountain air, infinitely varied m form and sculpture and fringed with ferns and flowering plants of all kinds: even oaks and evergreens find anchorage on a thousand steps and ledges. Every winter the high Sierras are blessed with snow m glorious abundance and even the foot-hills are at times whitened. Then all the range looks like a vast wall of purest marble. The rough places are then made smooth, and the ground seems as clean as the sky. Though it is gentle and quiet when falling and taking its place on rock or tree, of grassy meadow, the white sheet of snow soon finds a voice, blip- ping from the heights, gathering in avalanches, it booms, roars, thunders as it makes a glittering wave in sweeping down the mountain-side. , , j . , The northern half of the range is almost covered with floods of lava, and dotted with volcanoes and craters. The southern half is almost entirely composed of granite from base to summit, while a considerable number of peaks in the middle of the lange are capped with various kinds of slate. Mount Whitney the culminating point of the range near its southern extremity, lifts its helmet shaped summit to a height of nearly fourteen thousand, seven hundred feet. Mount Shasta, a colossal volcanic crown rises to a height of fourteen thousand, four hundred forty feet at the northern extremity of the range, and forms a noble landmark for all the surrounding region within a radius of a hundred miles. From the summit of Mount Whitney, only granite is seen. Innumerable peaks and spires, but little lower than its own storm-beaten cap, rise in groups like forest-trees, separated by canyons of tremendous depth and lugged- %his is but a brief picture framed in an attempt to convey some idea of the grand- eur and beautv of the Sierra Nevada Mountains; but no matter how powerful the author, he cannot put on paper the majestic serenity of the peaks of the Sierras; no matter how great the poet may be, he cannot set to his measured rhythm the sweet music of the gushing stream as it playfully hurries to its destination. One must see u e grandeu?, ?he beluty, must feel the tranquil silence of the Sierra Nevadas o appre- ciate them- and it one has not beheld the majestic mountains towering above Ins humble gaze he has yet to be astonished and to wonder and marvel at one ol the finest examples of God ' s handiwork on our earth. n, RYDALCH 2L riS jffi Sv 117 Moiuiet BaMy from Oirae © Grove Photo by courtesy of Putnam Studios Snow-clad, frozen mountains and sun-swept, gold- en groves of oranges contrast in the Southland. te)J .fe:. %. .. v u:-« «i.- ' AA .V.

The da -star in gorgeous splendor has risen! SUNSET The dav is dying. The smoldering rays of the sun, like live coals, color the western skv. Now, behind the rugged mesa far to the west, the sun is rapidly dis- appearing. How insignificant we feel in the midst of this enchanting grandeui !

Suddenly from ledges tongues ot flame dart about, like tiny demons of dying light: f d tl ;° ley too bid farewell to the sun. It is gone! Shadows, one by one, steal into the canyons and behind the hills. From over the mesa, red clouds, passing across the colortul firmament, mark the passing of day. Then all is peace and solemn quiet. NIGHT The stars, candles of the heavens, are twinkling brightly. Countless thousands of them hang like Japanese curtains from their lofty dome, the dark sky. Rocks and cliffs rise like grim sentinels of the night from out of the darkness. Par in the east, the moon lazily floats over the broad expanse. It resembles a great gilded sphere as it begins its ascent. A soft, mysterious light is thrown r the desert as the orb majestically rises; shadows ot cliffs are deepened; and we feel the thrill ot a ' ■ ' Th e moon has completed its course.

BILL OBRIEN Th© Hikers ' Califoreia Not the California that has politics, that has rival cities that has heart wring- ing poor and idle rich— but the California that has beautiful parks, a beckoning ocean, roving hills, and majestic mountains— that is the hikers ' California, the Cal- ifornia in which I live. Today I have grown taller from walking with the trees. How well do these words e.xpress the feeling of a hiker who has tramped in some of California s rare and beautiful tree groves, or has spent a day in old mountains where trees abound. Or it may have been merelv the expression of someone who has had an hour s escape in one of the many beautiful city parks. But wherever it was, the hiker has grown taller from his experience. I saw above a sea of hills, A solitary planet shine. Picture yourself in the place suggested by the poet. It is dusk. You have at last reach your ' goal. After perhaps much labor, you have arrived at the summit Above you see still higher mountain peaks, fairy-like in their purple shadows And above these still close to the horizon, shines the evening planet. You are no longer the person ' who has troubled himself about business or home cares. You have been transformed. In that moment, you have seen God shine through, and you have made uew vows and promises not easily to be forgotten. Look upon the stars, Not the few small stars of the city, half hidden by smoke and dust, but the stars of the mountains! Countless numbers crowding the heavens, yet each holding its own Place in massive formation! To appreciate these twinkling eyes of the night you must climb to these high, open places. And once yop have climbed from the smoke and the dust, you can never go down again, so vast is the impression made by the stars. I have threaded the wild with the stealth of a deer. How satisfying has been your experience. Alone, you have set off to tramp the wilds as vour ' forefathers have done before you. You have come upon deer tracks and have followed them until you discover several deer, drinking from a clear moun- tain stream. You have come up so softly that you do not frighten them away ou are happv then, for you realize that the troubles of city life, which have left you heavy and clumsy, are not the only things that count. You go home at last, refreshed, and realizing that impatience and unrest and hate keep you from the goal of the oo(l life And all this is found in California, the beautiful. No matter where you go, so long as it is a place untouched by man, you will return a different person, strengthened and bettered by your hike among the trees, to distant mountain tops, to the wilds, to places consecrated by th e presence of God. God, give me hills to climb, And strength for climbing!

JUST CALIFORNMA By John Steven Mc Groarty A playday in California: Everything from cool mountain trails to burninK. vivid desert from sheltered vifllevs to sparkling seas, presents itself to the sportsman. Whether he be young or old. versatile California ' s playground opens a limitless vista of opportunities for a glorious playday to him. The sea is one of the borders of this limitless playground, and holds many fas- cinating opportunities for the salt-minded sportsman. Perhaps he like s the rest- ful yet invigorating sports of the seaside. A zestful dip into the sea, then a siesta on ' the warm white sands create a perfect day for this type of sportsman. Perhaps he likes the peppier sports; still the sea can answer. Surf riding, aciua-planmg. and surf board riding are all ready to answer his mood. He experiences the rare and delightful thrill of bounding into shore on a huge voUer at the speed of an express train, or racing along behind a high-powered speed boat with only a rope and a three foot board between him and the salty sea. , ., . For the still more ambitious sportsman, there is yachting. Dear to the heart of a true yachtsman are the trim, white barks skimming over white-capped waves, the lee rail buried, sails pulling and tugging in the stiff breeze, and the salt spray blowing over the deck; or he may even enjoy drifting over a calmer sea. with rest- ful sun-washed decks. These are the gifts of the sea to California ' s playground. ' Farther inland the sports are more widely varied. Golf, perhaps, wears the crown as king of sports. Sunlit, spring-green fairways, either with a salty tang of the sea in the air or the woodsv smell from the hills, abound in California. What sports- man would not relish a brisk snappy game, a broken par. followed by a cold shower and delicious luncheon ' ? Everyone from the bank clerk to the millionaire enjoys this zestful. health-building game. ,.,,., u- u Polo ranks next to golf in popularity. It is an exhilarating brilliant game, which keeps both the plaver and spectator thrillingly alert to evtry point. It is also a delight to see the beautiful, spirited horses themselves, who are as interested in the game as the players. California excells in beautiful polo fields, and no better polo is plaved in the world than was staged here this season. , ,, In connection with polo, one thinks of shaded bridle paths that lead through enchanting foothills. One can ride over the hills and along the azure sky line, or drop down into cool canyons with their overlocking branches of live oak and sycamore; or he mav even canter along the sand paralleling the ocean. Tennis holds high favor among the younger sportsmen; yet it does not lose the iuterest of the older participants. From January to December, courts are crowded by lovers of the swift game. Los Angeles alone has hundreds of courts in use the year around. Tilden. La Coste. and Allison have smashed that little white ball across California ' s courts in games that have decided championships. Having grown wearv of the pastimes offered in the lowlands, one may seek pleasure in the higher, more majestic mountains where sapphire lakes, set m a fringe of towering pines, glittering, dazzling waterfalls, and the sublimity of snow-capped peaks fill the soul Vith inspiration. The sparkling streams abounding with trout, are dear to the heart of the angler. He, only, knows the thrill of standing hip-deep in some purling stream, overshadowed by graceful trees, casting his fly, waiting for that sudden streak of pure gold to dart out and catch it, then of the quick in- take and whir of the reel as a tempting trout is laid on a platter of fresh fern leaves. The mountains are also the playground of the big-game hunter. Here he tracks down his bear or deer. High in the mountain fastness, the hunter seeks his reward, and seldom is he disappointed. SL 151 iSS iS 125 . o In winter, these same mountains are clothed In pure white, ready for the festivali of the winter. The sportsman enjoys skiing down long swoops of snow chutes witii the cold, invigorating air snapping in his face. Still it is not necessary for one to be an adept at such spectacular sports. Along the mountain ' s by-paths, many of nature ' s glories and secrets are revealed only to the hiker who tramps along the shaded glens and nooks. There are also many difficult and tricky trails through the glaciers with precipitious cliffs, and slippery crevasses to test the skill of a veteran climber. Upon leaving these sublime, majestic mountains, we come to the playground of the Gods , the desert, vivid, colorful, mysteriously enchanting. It entices people to see its wonders, its unique cacti, its flaming, painted cliffs, and its myriads of blazing flowers that cover the sands in spring. Here are the health resorts, located near palm shaded oasis, with mineral baths and horses for the sportsman seeking the dryer air. In addition to these intriguing individual sports, California provides, not only for inter-collegiate, but also for international sports. The Rose Bowl and the Los AusTtles Coliseum ere twi. great stadiums of Southern California where those games are hotly contested. For the first time in history the Olympics are leaving European soil, and coming to America, when an Olympic Village will be built in Los Angeles. Certainly California will be at the pinnacle of her sport career when the Olympic athletes present themselves in 1932. California ' s guiding deities made her the paradise of the earth. From Switzerland, they brought a bit of the Alps with its choicest sports: from sunny Italy, the Riviera with its sports clubs and warm, lazy waters: and from Africa, they brought just a touch of its unique desert with the date palm and a few camels; and combined into a perfect whole, they made a playground for the world. California, favored by the Gods, blessed by nature, and adored by her admirers, offers to the world the ultimate in sports. SHIRLEY CLOGSTON O Brown are your rambling hills Gilded by poppies that nod: Dotted with pale petaled yuccas, Lighted like candles of God. Turquoise and grey is your sea.

And their sighs and rustles haunt me In that light-splashed glade of Pan. And their strength and grandeur daunt me — Transient, visionary man. HANS FUHRMAN iS2 IS).

Jrf LE ClhiM of tlhe Sea Clouds were turning a solden red: the dark wet sand, as well as tne hills, was rosy from the reflected sunset; and long grey shadows were c-reepinK up the mounds of Kolden sand when the man who had walked alone so dejected up the heach. in the earlv afternoon, came walkiuK hack, not dejected now. but with a spring in his step, not with drooping shoulders, but with a smile on liis lips, not alone, hut witli a girl. . . . The girl and the man stopped by the old dirt road tliat led up from the beach. I — don ' t think — 1 remember your name. he was saying. No. I ' m the daughter of the Coast Cuard Captain. Sandra Locke. As she spoke slowly, she gazed absently out to the sea. She had a way of doing that, talking to some one. and yet not seeming to even notice that the person was there. She shivered slightly. It looks so cold and threatening now. and yet I love it so , she broke off, startled by her own voice. Why, I wonder why I ' m talking like this to you. You haven ' t told me your name yet. Oh. Should he tell her his name, or no ' . ' It would be better not to. Mine is Terry — ah — Terry Davis. Anxious to cover up his hesitant reply, he added, I ' ll see you again, Sandra? Neither of them noticed his use of her first name. Oh. ves. indeed. They parted, the girl walking up the road, and he down the beach. He recalled how- he had found Sandra, standing tall and slim against the green sea. hor golden hair blowing in the breeze, her clear blue eyes watching the foam fly. as the waves dashed roaring against the rocks of the reef. They had wandered together out on the reef, ex- ploring the pools the high tide left in the little hollows and crevices of the rocks. This was the first time he had thought beautiful the golden star-fish stretched on the grey rock, the little shellfish that crawled slowly over the pink and green anemones and the small red crabs that scurried hurriedly out of sight. His shoulders had seemed to straighten, and his heart had been lighter because of her. He strolled along thoughtfully. ' WTiy had he not been able to write in the city ' ? That morning sitting on the beach, he had wondered if he could do anything here, or whether after all. his stories had just stopped coming. Thinking of the girl, he had just met, he knew he was wrong. How beautiful and simple she was. Wliat a wonderful character she would be in a story. She must be by the sea. She was part of the sea. its child. The sand had given her the gold for her hair: the sea had bestowed the blue green of her eyes; her skin was the white of the foam; and her soul was the depth of the ocean itself. He wondered why he had not desired to tell her his name that morning. Of course none of his friends knew where he was. He had just closed the luxurious apartment, and boarded a train that was going as far away from New York as possible. Suddenly he quickened his pace as the Studio came in sight. Terry ran across the bridge and up the steps two at a time, flung open the door, and then stood and looked at his room. A typewriter stood on a table in the center of the room, with a stack of blank paper by its side — only blank paper. Terry laughed, and sat down at the table and wrote: A Child of the Sea They had taken their lunch with them that day, and had walked for miles along the beach until thev had reached a secluded little cove where they had eaten. The air had been cool and crisp with the tang of salt. Now. drowsy from the walk and the sun. thev were watching the waves, endless lines of waves. I love all this. Sandra was saying, almost as if to the sea. Terry glanced at the young girl sitting next to him. I love her, he thought, and then startled. Why. it ' s absurd. He found himself comparing her to his friends in New York. Diil he really love her enough to stop that gay life? To live and write here? He compared those hurried days with these peaceful, restful ones. She gave him a fleeting glance: Terry ' s heart pounded, but his hands were clenched tightly at his sides. Sandra jumped quickly to her feet. Come, Terry, we must go. It was night, and Terry had been writing and writing. He was to tell Sandra in the morning. Thinking happily of this, he stopped his writing for a moment Then feeling suddenly depressed, he opened the door to the little porch. Above the iS J lui ( 129 Photo by courtesy of Putnam Stttdios A jewel set in the diadem of the Sierras, unearth- ly in its translucent beauty and cloudy heights. vi,V ■u . . ■m slap slap of the ripples, he heard the roar of waves around the bluff. Suddenly the iow ' moau of a ship ' s distress siRnal caught his ear. He waited; and when lie heard it the second time, he dashed down the steps and across the bridge to the road. The Coast Guard men were just starting out when Terry arrived. Sandra was kissing her father, Good luck. I ' ll wait for you Goodbye Sandra. I ' m all right. Yes, Father. She was smiling, but her voice was strained. She stood there, next to him, pale but very beautiful. They waited, listening to the captain ' s orders until the roar of the waves stopped all sound but the moan of the distressed ship. The little group of people stood there waiting, straining their ears for any sound that would let them know — Even standing as close as he was to her, Terry could see only a blurred Sandra. a beautiful vision veiled in a filmy mist. Terry scarcely breathed for fear the vision mi- ' ht dissolve and float awav, might be lost to him forever. Those men out there fighting throu.gh tlie waves to save lives of men! This woman standing there, her head held high by determination, by sheer courage, waiting! What part did he play with this little group of people? The reef, Terry, is called the Graveyard of the Pacific, Sandra ' s voice floated softly to him from the vision. The Gravevard of the Pacific, he repeated unconsciously; and then he remained silent again. Is she niv kind? My kind? his mind kept repeating. It seemed an eternitv before the slap of oars was again heard. It grew- louder and louder until finally the boats could be seen riding in on the crest of a wave; and after many attempts, they were finally beached. Sandra ran down to the edge of the water, I ' m so glad you ' re back. Of course. I ' m all right, but . . . . The men were carrying out the limp figure of a young girl Is she — , Sandra whispered. I ' m afraid so, my dear. The party of young men and women who had been saved were taken to warn- firesides, and warmer drinks; but. although they worked over her, their young com panion never breathed again. Terrv standing looking at her, felt his heart contract in sudden pity and terror. She had ' been pretty in her own way, he supposed. Short dark hair, a brief evening dress still clinging ' to her, even traces of lipstick and rouge: she was his kind, a society girl But an hour ago she had been a living girl, breathing , enjoying lite laughing, flirting, his kind. True, she was from the city; he was too. But his kind . ' He looked at Sandra frantically trying to bring life into those dead hands— his kind? Terry was walking along the beach. The sea was clear and sparkling. It was calm, and cold and green with no sign of the awful tragedy that it had caused the night before It was like a murderer who left no clue. It was low tide, and the only sound was the crunching of the sand under Terry ' s feet, and the low sighing of the little waves, far, far out. Then he saw Sandra, standing against the green sea, her hair flying as he had seen her that first day. I have brought you something, Sandra. He held out his finished book to her. Oh. She glanced at him surprised as she read, A Child of the Sea By Terry Clark Then Terry knew he was there; he knew that only with her as his inspiration could he live. She turned, and for the first time they looked long and deep into one another s eyes. Terry ....

Like its predecessor, the ancient Roman Forum, this club sponsors public speaking and debating but has v ' ldened Its field to include drama, music, and literature. Aspirants must be eleventh or twelth grade students and must present an original selection before the members for approval. Because of Forum ' s wide-spread popularity, the limit for membership is one hundred. The Forum pin, a shield of honor, is earned by an appearance on one of the weekly programs, at which the diversified talents of the members are shown. The main events of Forum ' s program tor the term include a short story and poem contest, an oratorical contest, a parliamentary drill contest, a mock trial, and a banquet. Besides these. Forum sponsors the Herald Extemporaneous Oratorical Con- test, is entertained by the Pythean Society, and conducts a school assembly In the Armistice Day program.

Keslar, we attained plienomeual success in debating; our teams captured both the Southern California and City League championships. This year our debaters did their best to equal the record. The Southern California League schedule opened on Friday evening, November 21, in our own music hall when Mildred Shahan and Frank O ' Neill debated Thomas Jefferson High School on the negative of Resolved: That the concept of ft-eedom of speech as understood by the framers of the Constitution in the first amendment should be the interpretation of the courts today. On the same evening, at Santa Ana High School, Frances Dunn and Arlen Marsh supported the negative of the thirteen month calendar question. Our City League calendar opened on Tuesday, November 25, on the proposition Resolved: That in California the district attorneys should be given the legal power to compromise criminal cases. Wright Williams and Victor Leveskis traveled to Venice, to debate the negative while Judith Rykotf and Gerald O ' Melveny upheld the affirmative against a visiting Venice team. The Oregon style of debating was used by some teams this semester for the first time in the history of the City League. Under this plan, the first speaker of each team presents the constructive arguments. Then the second negative questions the first affirmative, and the second affirmative questions the first negative. The debate is concluded by refutation given by the second speakers of both teams, the affirmative speaking last. There were only three returning lettermen this semester: Mildred Shahan (adjudged first speaker at the championship debate with San Diego last year), Judith Rykoff, and Frank O ' Neill. The other debaters for the semester were Wright Williams, Victor Leveskis, Gerald O ' Melveny, Mendel Lieberman (winner of first place in the school finals of the Herald Extemporaneous Contest), Sam Lyon, Francis Dunn, Hilda Strimling. Louise Essberg, Bernice Edlund, and Arlen Marsh Mr. I. D. Perry, head of the English Department, is coach for the Southern Cal- ifornia League teams; and Mr. F.

Mendel Lieberman, our representative in the eighth annual Evening Herald Extemporaneous Contest, iield November 21, 1930, was adjudged the winner of one of the most closely contested oratorical events of the season. By virtue of Lieberman ' s victory, the Evening Herald trophy becomes the permanent property of the school, as this marks the third time a Roman orator has been victorious in these contests: rules decree a school winning the event for three years shall be given permanent possession of the trophy. Previous winners of the Herald contest from Los Angeles High were Chester Williams, who m 1925 was adjudged the winning orator, and Worth Bernard, who last year was awarded the unanimous decision of the judges for his oration on Modern Youth and Moral Standards. Lieberman, speaking on the Subsidizing. Proselyting and Demoralization of Athletics, under the general topic of the Relationship of Athletics to Scholastic Endeavor, made a strong plea for the restoration of an even balance between athletics and scholarship in the schools and colleges, lauding the true high school amateur; and at the same time he denounced forcefully the activities of the schools and colleges adverse to the true ideals of interscholastic athletic competition. 2l 151 167 £. jLxUL. in ilemoriam m k.

SNOW LONGLEY HOUSH Williainiii Harvey Eloeslh Flaqe© Honored above all others who have peopled the history of Los Angeles High School, stands William Harvey Housh, Principal 1S95-1924. Powerful as was his in- fluence while he lived, more powerful is his memory now. One cannot walk the halls of the pioneer school without seeing evidences of the great love for him. Premier of these is the William Harvey Housh Memorial Placque, the loving tribute of the class of W ' 25. Mr. Housh was ever the champion of youth, and summed up for them the phil- osophy of his life in the motto he chose for this high school: Obedience to Law, Respect tor Others, Mastery of Self, Joy in Service; these Constitute Life. He strove lo inspire a love for the good and beautiful; and he gave to each student who came in contact with him something of his own sincerity, loyalty, courage, and dignity. His desire to be just and fair to all was evinced by his tolerance and consideration. To him, Miss Sarah Foss Wolverton pays this tribute, In William Harvey Housh ■we have had the privilege of association with a rare soul. His was the philosophic mind, unconfused by all the hustle of these high-tension times, untouched by every drive toward measurement of human values on scales of the sordid, mechanical or the commonplace. In his long lite he endured many disappointments, and sorrows as well as much physical suffering. These experiences had but one effect — to deepen his nature in gentleness, in wisdom, in love for humanity. All those lives that have come •within the radius of his influences, carry the memory of this beautiful soul as a perpetual benediction. iS ' ' L uL iSS iiS 173 oL. ji j iss jffi 176 Jok. dN Gnri§ §©eioir Gle© Gleb President; Beth Pingree Vice-president: Margaret Lyutli Secretary : Mildred Shalian Treasurer: Daisy Rae Kahn Librarian: Florence Renshaw Accompaniest: Cecelia Stall Sponsor: Miss Ida M.

Although not winning the championship this year, his team made a fine showing. While at L. A. as a student, Mr. Bresee earned his letter m football and basketball. Later he went to U. C. L. A., where he made tour letters in basketball and football. He was All Conference guard on the basketball team for three years. Upon graduating from U. C. L. A., he returned to L. A. as a coach. Devel- oping a championship lightweight team in 1927 and 1928, Coach Bresee was given the job of varsity coach. Last year he developed a real championship varsity, and his showing with the team this year speaks well for the success of the football teams lu the future. Coach Herbert White, who is head of the Athletic department, came out at the start of the season and put his shoulder to the wheel to help the team develop into a real squad. Mr. White has that something which puts more fight into the fellows and makes them get up and go. Being an all star athlete and scholar while at college, Mr. White Is the one person that can get over to the boys that which makes them real men and prepares them for the outside world. iS 2l lal ioS 185 lur iji v Th© Flayers CAPTAIN H. T. HATHEWAY— Center Although weighing but 150 pounds, our fighting little center was the hardest man in the league to take out. He was feared by every team because he not only broke up the plays of the opponents before they got started, but he sensed when a pass was coming and pulled back out of the line to knock it down. This is H. T. ' s second year as a letterman, and we are sorry that he is not coming back to bolster up the team next year. He was picked as All City center by many coaches and sport writers. MELLO ALMADA— Half This is Mel ' s last year on the team; and when he leaves, the school loses one of the best passers we has ever had. It is too bad that he was kept out of most of the games because of a knee injury as he was always a dangerous man to the opposing team. He ends his football career as a two year letterman. VICTOR ANDREWS— Guard Coming up from last year ' s second team, Vic showed the other fellows a few things about what a real guard should do on the football field. Vic is only in the 11th grade, and his 175 pounds of fight will be welcomed on next year ' s team. CHARLES CHESHIRE— Half Chuck was the shiftiest halfback in the league, and hardly a game passed by without his getting away for a long run to a touchdown. This was his second year as a letterman, and it will be mighty hard to replace Chuck next year. Not once during the season was Chuck taken out because of an injury, and he was always ready for action. This is his second year on the All City team. ELMER EMERSON— Tackle Elmer spent his second and last year on the team in such a way that the oppon- ents would always feel his presence. Weighing 155 pounds. Emerson was a Rock of Gibralter to the team. He tackled hard and low, and broke up many plays before they could get started. He leaves a two year letterman. LAURIE BOLOTIN— End This was a lean year for ends at L. A., but Laurie played such a good game that he was missed when injuries halted his services. Weighing 145 pounds. Laurie made up for his lack of weight in fight and charge. He played on the lightweights last year, and he will be a big help next year as he returns to the team. FRED FUNK— Half Being the heaviest man in the backfield did not daunt Fred as he showed dur- ing the season. His weight of 190 pounds did not cut down his speed. His long and accurate passes accounted for many a score. Being a real punter, Fred will be the man for the other teams to watch next year. He was on the second team last year. 2L {j 186 Jok. H. T. Hathaway Mello Almada Elmer Emerson Charles Cheshire iS ' i 6 £ 187 vA mv Th© Players BOB HOEFFER — Quarter Being out most of the season because of a leg injury, Bob was sorely missed by the team. With him in the lineup, the team could feel sure that the gains of the opponents would be very short. Possessing a wonderful knowledge of the game, the school could always rest more easily when Bob was playing. This is his last year, and he is a two year letterman. He received All City mention. GEORGE LANNOM— Guard George is a senior and was on the team last year. Although not playing in all the games, Lannom could always be depended on to give his all for the school, and it is too bad that he does not return next year. He weighs 160 pounds. ROBERT LOWERY— End Onlv one look at his red hair is enough to be sure that Red is a real football player. It is a shame that he does not return to the team next year, for with the experience gained this year, he would be a welcome sight. • ' PINKY ' McMOORE— Tackle Being a tenth grader never fazed McMoore, and the fight and pepper he put into the game will go a long way in helping the team in the next two years. He weighs 160 pounds. He played his position like a veteran. GEORGE Mckenzie— Full When George hit the line of the other team, he hit like a battering ram. Mac played two years ago, but dropped out of school last year so that he has one more year on the team. He weighs 170 pounds and should go great guns next year. STAN MITCHELL— Tackle Stan was another tenth grader, and L. A. will have a real pair of tackles for the next two years. He weighs 205 pounds, and it is a mighty hard job to take him out. His weight does not slow him down, however; and he stops many a play before it starts. MAX McCLAIN— Half Along with Cheshire, Mac formed one of the most dangerous pair of running backs in Uie league. Max never let his teammate get so far ahead of him tor he pulled off a long run or a return of a punt to a touchdown in every game. Being a triple threat man, he will be missed badly next year. McClain made the All City. LOUIE POZZO— End Starting the season as a sub, Louie showed the fight that made his brother a star; and before the end of the season, he was playing first string. He was adept at snag- ging passes, and the opponents soon learned that they could not make much gain around his end. This is his last year. HAROLD SCHUTZ— Guard The 165 pounds that Harold put in the center of the line will be missed next year. Harold had a habit of breaking through and stopping the opponents before ihey knew what was happening. On offence he was always to be counted on to pave the way for the Roman backs. BILL WHITTINGHILL— Quarter Bill was on the lightweight team last year, and the experience that he received there came in handy this year. When Hoeffer was injured. Bill filled in at ciuarter and did a good job of it. Bill is a senior so this is his last year. 188 J Bob Hoeffer Louie Pozzo George Lannon Robert Lowery iS - 151 ij jffi j 189 Ottv Max McClain Harold Schuttz Boh McMoore Fred Funk iS -: 51 riS Sv 190 _ A Stan MiteheU Victor Andreu-s Laurie Bolotin iS - Gl [ 191 ' Vp Js j Los Aeiel©§ v§c After many weeks of waiting by both Student Bodies and football teams, the Roman varsity encountered the strong Manual outfit on Wilson field, Tuesday, Octo- ber 10. Some 12,000 football fans witnessed this crucial game of the season as many thought the winner would be the City Champion. The Roman eleven entered the contest the under dog, predicted to lose by a score of from two to four touch downs. During the first half, L. A. outplayed the Toilers ' team; this can be shown by the fact that Manual got oue first down to the Romans ' six. Fumbles marred the first part of the game, and the teams left the field at the half, in a 0-0 deadlock. The third quarter proved to be the turning point of this game. On a pass from Howard, Captain Hamon of Manual scored. The try for extra point failed, and the period ended with Manual leading 6-0. Having every thing to gain and nothing to lose, L. A. opened up the fourth quarter with an aerial attack which only increased Manual ' s score. Twice the Toilers ' team picked Roman passes out of the air and turned them into touchdowns. The first was intercepted on L. A. ' s 20 yard line, and was returned for the score. The other was intercepted on the 35 yard line and returned to the one yard line. From here, it took only one play for Manual to score. Although rather discouraged by defeat. L. A. did herself proud by the way in which her boys fought and upheld the old Roman spirit. McKensie showed up well on the offensive while Captain Hathaway and Cheshire proved to be L. A. ' s bulwark on defense. It was a very well fought game with both teams showing the result of some mighty fine coaching. And although L. A. was on the short end of the 19-0 score, Manual knew that she had met a real team. Los Angeles 6 — Manual Arts 19 -v 3l ij Si 192 JOK Lo§ Aegel©§ v§o Fairfax Our team, a little downcast from the Manual game, but fighting mad and deter- mined to regain its former stride, journeyed to Fairfax to meet the Colonials for the second game of the 1930 season. This game was quite different from the last week ' s game, as L. A. had the upper hand throughout and was master of the entire match. Early in the first quarter, a reverse from Cheshire to Almada, preceded by Che- shire ' s 20 yard pass to Lowry, scored our first touchdown. The try for the extra point failed. Soon after, as a result of a well placed punt, which went out of bounds on the three yard line, we scored a safety, as the Colonial back fumbled a pass from center when he attempted to punt. The remainder of the first half was uneventful, the play being about even. ■V ' ith the opening of the second half, play continued to seesaw until the last minute of the third period when a pass. Funk to Cheshire, netted another score. Chuck converted. Soon after the kickoff, Fairfax fumbled, and L. A. recovered. After two l.asses, Cheshire ran 35 yards through the middle of the Colonial line for a touch- down. Fairfax, desperate in the fourth quarter, tried numerous passes, one of which was intercepted by McClain, who weaved in and out through the entire Fairfax team for the third score. This run was the prettiest one of the day. Funk kicked the extra point. In spite of the seemingly large score. Fairfax put up a game battle, and constantly threatened with their marvelous short passing attack, which L. A. found hard to stop. Cheshire and McClain showed up exceedingly well with their long runs and hard tackling while the whole line played heads-up ball although Captain Hathaway was again the outstanding player. Los Angeles 22 — Fairfax iS El 12i r 193 ok_ L®§ Aeg©l©§ v§o Fireimiioet In one of the most exciting and free scoring games of tlie year, L. A. went down to defeat for the second time this season under the hand of Fremont on the Pathfinder ' s field. The contest featured a weak defense on the part of both teams, and numerous long runs and passes. L. A. drew first blood; McClain, duplicated his last week ' s brilliant performance, running 75 yards through the entire Fremont team on a reverse in the first play of the game, after L. A. received the kick-off. Soon however, Fremont marched the ball down the field in a sustained drive, featuring Clark, who gained almost at will through the L. A. line, which seemed to charge listlessly. However, the Romans braced up and held their goal line; and Cheshire stepped back to kick out of danger; but the kick was blocked. Fremont recovered, and Clark scored on an end run after L. A. held for three downs. Fre- mont converted via the pass route. L. A. scored again on a pass from McClain to Cheshire after a drive down the field. McClain carried the brunt of the attack and gained from ten to twenty yards each time. He carried the ball to a touchdown. Cheshire converted. Very soon, L. A. had its third kick blocked deep in its own territory, and the ball rolled over the Roman goal line; L. A. recovered for a safety. Play then remained even till the half. The second half opened with an L. A. kickoff and a Fre- mont fumble, recovered by the Romans. A pass, McClain to Cheshire, scored our third touchdown and Chuck converted. Soon after this, the Fremont team seemed to receive new life in the form of Walt Clark. In short order. Fremont scored two touchdowns, one on a run by Clark, and the other on a pass to Clark. The Romans, In the last few minutes of play, tried frantically to score. Cheshire caught a Fre- mont punt and was on his way to a touchdown when he stumbled. A pass over the goal line was incomplete, and soon after the game ended. McClain was the only back ' who was able to gain at all, while Schutz and Pozzo, the former for his fine defensive play, and the latter for the way he completed passes right out of the hands of the Fremont players, stood out. The game was thrilling, with both teams very strong on offense and weak on defense. Los Angeles 20 — Fremont 21 - Sl 331 ijiS ixS Sv 194 v: lAv ILos Aei©l©§ v§c At last! After five years of drought. L. A. Highs football team blossomed forth in all its glory to submerge the traditional foe, the Poly parrot, in a 20-6 defeat. Not since the days of Tapaan, Galloway, Moffatt, Rothert, Almada. and Moses has L. A. defeated the Blue and Gold. That was in 1926, and the score was L. A. 14, Poly 7. Only one offensive play was required for L. A. to prove that this was the year the Romans would bring home the bacon. On a wide end run, Chuck Cheshire put the old pigskin under his arm and galloped 56 yards for L. A. ' s first score. He then added the extra point with a beautiful placement kick. This was the only score until the fourth quai-ter, although L. A. had the edge throughout. Just before the halt, L. A. worked the ball down to the five yard line; but the gun ended the half, preventing a score. In the fourth quarter, Cheshire intercepted a Poly pass and ran 48 yards to a touchdown. The interference formed like magic, and Chuck scored without a hand laid on him. A few minutes later, McClain returned a punt 70 yards through the entire Poly team for L. A. ' s final score. Cheshire again made the extra point. Lott was the big star for Poly; his punts went tor 40, 50, and 60 yards every time and kept his team out of danger. He scored Poly ' s only touchdown when he received a pass that netted 45 yards. The game was well played with every Roman charging like a true football player. Cheshire, McClain, and McKenzie in the back- field, and Captain Hathaway, Pozzo. Emerson, and Schutz on the line, made the going tough for Poly. And so ended a glorious day with the score.

This was the first meeting of the two teams in the new league, and it ended in a sad way for Garfield. Just a few minutes after the opening kickoff, Chuck Cheshire started on a cruise around end from L. A. ' s 40 yard line for six points. This was all the scoring during the first quarter. In the second quarter, Cheshire, McClain, Funk, and Almada ran wild to pile up 26 points. The first score came on a 76 yard run off right tackle by Cheshire. It was about the most beautiful exhibition of football seen in prep ranks for some time. With the interference working like a clock. Chuck started out around end, out in quickly, and with wonderful change of pace weaved in and out among the Garfield players to a touchdown. He climaxed his run by kicking the extra point. It was not long before the next score came. McMoore blocked a punt, and Fozzo recovered. On the next play, Cheshire went 11 yards off tackle to the touchdown. Max McClain made the next score on a 67 yard run on a reverse from Cheshire. He was tackled several times, but you can ' t stop this Max person when he ' s going for a touchdown. Cheshire made the extra point. The last score was a pass from Funk to Almada for 26 yards. Since the score was 32 to at the half, Coacii Bresee let his regulars out; and mxt year ' s team took up the burden and did fairly well. In the third quarter, Almada started off tackle, reversed his field, and ran 35 yards for L. A. ' s sixth touchdown. Funk kicked goal. The last score came in the final quarter and resulted from a pass, Funk to Lowery. w-hich was good for a 56 yard gain. Funk again kicked goal. Emerson, Pozzo, Hathaway, and McMoore showed up well for the regulars while Cullenward, Hamilton, and Melott played a fine game for the reserves. Los Angeles 46 — Garfield 2l 151 ilS Si 196 ♦ ♦ ULyr-s X V Los Aei€le§ v§o Liecole Football season was biouglit to a close by a hotly contested game with Lincoln on Koush Field. The game was a deciding point for championship honors. However, as L. A. was not in the running, the result was not important to our league standing. Xo sooner had the game opened than Cheshire sent a wonderful punt into the arms of Aparado, Lincoln half, who by a miracle returned the punt 97 yards for a touchdown. Several L. A. men were upon Aparado as soon as he received the punt: but unfortu- nately he ran down the field with such momentum that they missed their taclvles; and thus he had a clear field. Lincoln failed to convert. The remainder of the game vas rather quiet as to touchdowns until the fourth quai-ter. In the first of the fourth, Lincoln blocked an L. A. punt and recovered the ball oa the Roman one yard line. The L. A. line held like a stone wall for three downs, but on the last down the Tigers scored. Again they failed to convert. With the true L. A. fight, the Romans opened up until the tide changed by means of the return of a punt to a touchdown by Max McClain. He caught the ball on his own 30 yard line and weaved in and out through the entire Lincoln team, seventy yards to L. A. ' s only .score. Cheshire made the extra point, making the score 7-12 with five minutes to play. With an endeavor to win. the Romans carried the ball down to the Tigers ' 22 yard line. In these last five minutes, the ball was practically always in the air as the Romans had taken to an aerial attack with Mello Almada on the throwing end. But before the Romans could score, the gun ended the game.

High , the second team varsity went through a schedule of six games without suffering a defeat. This was the only team in the school that closed the season with its record unblemished. Under the able coaching of Dave Foor6 and Walt Firsicb. the team was entitled to ' oe called San Fernando Valley and Marine champions. Beverly Hills varsity won the first title, suffering only one defeat, and that at the hands of the Romans. Wash- ington varsity won the title of Marine champions but also lost to the Romans. This team grew into a powerful squad as the season wore on, and developed several stars that should make good on the varsity next year. Hal Evarts was captain, and it will be mighty hard to keep him ont of a regular guard position next year. The team was as follows: center — Day, Broucht, Nickolson; guard — Smith, Miller, See, Gummis.

This splendid showing as made possible only through the untiring efforts and hard work of Coach La IJrucherie. who has just finished his second year of coaching at this school. This year ' s captain. Buddy Lewis, was one of the most competent wing men of his class in the city. The rest of the backfield was composed of Shedd. Willey, and Gorilla Smith, a hard-hitting fullback and a leading contender for all-city honors. The lightweights were fortunate in liaving two fine ends in Terrel and Pike, who proved themselves equally well on both the offense and defense. The pivot position v.as ably taken care of by Sheik Adelquist and Bill Irwin. The work of Phillips and Weils at the tackle berths was well performed and in many cases was quite spectacular. The two guard positions were occupied by Fiery Blumkin and Gonz- ales, two staunch, fast-charging linemen. Other members were Bill Irwin. Speedy Thomas. Sanders, Wald, Woodard, Mulhaupt. Avedisian, Hinche. Haller. Trevor, Hoffman, Loadvine, Albeck. Holsman, Boner, Andrews, Whitley, and Blakcman. The lightweights were ably managed by Mike Creamer.

The second game was not as successful as the other two, for Loyola High won 7 to 0. The boys played a fine game, and it was a little trying to lose. Coming back in the last game with a bang, the team defeated Urban Military Acadamy to the tune of 13 to 0. The outstanding players in the line were: Carman, end; Upstill, tackle; and Hoff- man, guard. In the backfield, the most shining player was Captain Jaspar Russell, who was a real star. However. Falice and Lightfoot played heads up all the year. Curtis Fisher coached the team for the second year, and his fight talks and knowledge of the game made his services invaluable. We know that his presence will be felt in a big way wherever he goes.

L. A. ' s midget football learn contented themselves with a moral victory over the league champion, Fre- mont team. Coach Schackne. with two returning lettermen. produced a formidable team which was always looked upon as dangerous to any other team. The season uncovered several players that are looked upon to help L. A. ' s teams in the future. They are: Painessa, Hitt. Keefer, Schwartz, Rosin, Boesch. Poloutzin, Sbragia, Tucker, Morhar. and Grant. The squad was a fighting bunch of fellows and went a long way in showing the real L. A. fight. Two years on the lightweight team as All-City fullback made Bob Schackne one of the best class C coaches the school has had for a long time. He developed a fast charging line and a shifty backfield that were looked up to by the other schools. Leonard Shulkin was an able manager, having received a great deal of experience as varsity track manager for the last two years. The team was made up of the following players: ends, Boesch and Blau; tackles, Rosen and Tucker: guards. Poloutzin and Hovsepian; center, Sbragia: quarter, Hitt; halves, Morhar and Grant; full, Keefer.

T. Uathawau A team is not complete until it has a leader to urge it on to greater deeds of valor. A real captain should be an example to his men, should instill fight and pep into the team through his own personality, and should be ready to give his all for the honor of his school. This year L. A. High was very fortunate in having three such men to lead then on the baseball field, football gridiron, and basketball court. H. T. Hathaway was our football captain: and when he was in the game, every- one could be assured that very tew gains would be made through center. H. T. was the outstanding center in the league and was chosen on the All City team. His passes to the backs were right where they should have been. Indeed, all regret this was his last year. L. A. High bids adieu to a real fellow and athletic aid. Hubert Bud Bates captained the basketball team, and all those who attended the games know what a fine player he was. Bud played center and was a Stonewall Jackson, both on offense and defense. He with his players illustrated exactly the meaning of the word teamwork. Time after time, he gave up a chance to star by sending the ball to the forwards who were in a better spot to shoot a basket. Melo Almada, our baseball captain, is one of those outstanding athletes that every once in a while enters our midst. Mel has shown his power in sports by winning two letters in baseball, two in football, and one in track. Whether it was to pass that old pigskin to a touchdown, or jump a few feet farther for a first place, or put the little pill right over the plate, Mel could always be depended on. And whenever anyone needed help, Mel, as always, was the man on the job. Just watch our Captain go this next year in baseball and track. The men, returning for track, were all so evenly matched in their ability that a captain was not elected. This selection will take place sometime during or before the 1931 season. -SI i { £ 206 tji v Louis Blan Fred Sagel Y©M Leaders The yell leaders have just finished a very successful seasou this last year in aiding the Student Body to support the teams. Among the events of this term were the Blue and V hite day rally, the rally for the big game of the season with Poly, at which Paul Elmquist came to give us a fine talk, and the noon rallies. The famous can of spirit came to light, as well as the Blue and White derby. These rallies, as a whole, proved very successful. Fred Nagel was at the helm in all of these enterprises. This was his third and last year to serve L. A. as yell leader, and we all know that he has succeeded admirably. Louis Blau and Gordon Moser acted as able assistants. Louis has served the school before on the C team, and Gordon is a new student. They were a great help to Fred in all of his stunts and proved themselves real cheer leaders. £2. - El GR 207 vA Ward Jewell Chuck Dwyer Albert Freiberg Jack Farnell Football Maiesii©ir§ All the glory should not he given to the foothall players for the success of the season, for the managers play a very important part themselves.

O. T. C. unit fo the energetic leadership of Colonel Mudgett, under whose direction the L. A. bat- talion has advanced to the prominent position which it now occupies. For eleven years, he has supervised the theoretical and practical instruction of the members of ' !ur military unit. Colonel Mudgett is a real veteran in the service of his country, having taken an active part in the Spanish-American War. the Philippine insurrection, the Mexican Border War. and the World War: and although seriously wounded in France, he has continued to serve the nation by devoting his time and energy to the training of the youth of today. Sergeant Lawson. the capable assistant of Colonel Mudgett. superintends the use. selection, and care of the numerous supplies and equipment which our battalion uses. He supervises the armory, and sees that the rifles are kept in good condition. He individually instructs each man in rifle marksmanship, and is in charge of the rifle team, for whose present proficiency he is largely responsible. The rifle range, armory, and supply room, thru his efforts, have been organized into the efficient agencies for business which they are now. Mr. Nelson, the new band instructor, has ably filled the vacancy which was left by the retirement of Mr. Toolan last term. For twenty years he has been prominent in the musical circles of Southern California, having been associated with the Philhar- monic Orchestra, the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, the Catalina Concert Band, and with other well known musical organizations. The results of his instruction were evident to the Student Body in the band ' s splendid showing at the football games this term. f L i 6 £ 233 ■  y JoLv For a quarter of a century the Los Angeles High School has maintained a mili- tary unit of some kind. At the time of its origin, this organization had no connection ■with the United States Government; and Los Angeles High School was one of the few public schools to sponsor such a system. Then in 1919, under the National Defense Act, the Reserve Officers ' Training Corps was established; and military education was introduced into many of the high schools and colleges. During the eleven years, of its existence the L.A. R.O.T.C. has acquired an enviable nation-wide reputation, and has become an acknowledged leader in this city ' s high school military circles. L. A. is justly proud of its military corps, which has for five consecutive years attained Honor School rating at the annual War Department inspections, and Which adds yearly to the distinctions and achievements o£ our school. This term ' s military unit consisted of 243 men, the largest class in school under a single instructor, and was divided into three companies and the band. Men who had had one or more terms of previous training were assigned to Company A, where they obtained additional knowledge of the movements in advanced infantry drill, and were also instructed in simulating combat conditions, and in scouting and patrolling. B and C Companies contained the new men, who were taught the basic elements of drill, the use and care of the rifle, and the principles of military hygiene under competent cadet instructors. In addition to the regular drill during the first period, two indoor recitation classes are held each term by Colonel Mudgett. In Second Year Military Science, the two- term men are instructed in the drill movements of the platoon, scouting and patroll- ing, and guard duty, while the Third Year class takes up company and battalion drill, mapping, musketry, and the operation of the automatic rifle. The latter class is the most advanced in our school ' s military system, and the completion of its course entitles the student to one full high school credit. Prominent among the organizations that serve the school are the bodies of audi- torium ushers and military police, selected R. O. T. C. men. The ushers supervise at every regular assembly and special meeting, while at all athletic events the mili- tary police attend to the seating of the spectators, the policing of the field, and the preservation of order. These organizations, a part of our efficient military system, render a most helpful and necessary service to the school. L. A. ' s rifle drill team each term spends long hours of tedious practice after school to attain the high degree of proficiency which it displays at its exhibitions. The drill team was organized two years ago by Lieutenant Russel Alley, and has progressed steadily in learning complicated movements and fancy manual of arms. It has displayed its skill before several local theaters, at the Senior Vod. and before the military unit, and has been popularly received on all these occasions. The governing body of this R. O. T. C. is the Officers ' Club, which consists of all officers and two-term non-commissioned officers in the battalion. Frequent meet- ings are held after school to provide for coming ceremonies, to discuss plans, and in general to take care of the business of the unit. Among the club ' s social activities are the popular semi-annual military ball, midnight rides, and the officers ' dinner and theater party. STAFF Major Edward N. Rydalch Commanding Captain James B.

To the left, gold fish gurgling contentedly. To the right, Phyllis Brasier typ- ing terrifically. In the foreground, Helen Hoelzel writing photo summons and singing gleefully. (We all have our off days; psychologists say there ' s a reason.) At the table, a silent figure writing, unruffled by the chaos about her. Enter Clifford Gans. At the sound of Helen ' s voice, he paces the floor, waving his arras wildly. Something must be done about that radiator; it ' s making too much noise. Editor-iu-chief: Don ' t de dramatic; this is serious. Chorus of Senior A assistants: Oh. my yes! This is serious, Helen Hoelzel continues to write photo summons and to sing gleefully. The silent figure sighs wearily. The Editor posts a notice , and the stage is cleared while the army of Senior A assistants swarm to the bulletin board. In the rear may- be seen (if anyone cares to look) two men in uniform, kodaks in hand, watching the shadows lengthen. One of them turns and is recognized as Bill Robinson, peering from beneath his eyebrows and loudly declaring, The sun ' s going down. We ' ll never get those pictures. The sun ' s going down! The sun ' s going down!! Joke editor, laughing: Whose son ' s going down? She is deservedly ignored as Barbara Melville takes the center of the stage, hopping up and down, and giving directions in general. Editor-in-chief, calmly: It ' s all right: she ' s only my assistant. Chorus of Senior A assistants: Yes, she ' s only the Editor ' s assistant. After all of this, Barbara sits down and begins to reject essays, stories, poems, and anything in sight. The silent figure glances up, shakes her head sadly, and continues writing. Art editor, Howard Smith, skips blithely in and out of the office, a cactus In one hand and a sheath of poppies in the other. He Is followed by Kathryn Webb and Alberta Shaw, tennis rackets in hand, chasing butterflies. There is much rattling at the door, and Martha Richardson enters, loaded with more manuscripts (Goodness knows of what value as they were written by the school at large) ; but, nevertheless, Martha is loaded with manuscripts. The silent one assumes a pensive look; then unobtrusively she asks, In what is Kenneth Strom efficient? A shot rings out, and that ' s the end of that. Clifford Gans will be on trial for the murder of Jean McGibbon next Monday. Joke editor, still trying to be conspicuous, asks How long is a Chinaman? Clifford Gans and James Stoddard, duet: All right, go on; finish it. Hysterically the Joke editor begins again. Another shot rings out; and she crumbles to the floor, gasping, They got me. Chorus, the Semi-Annual Staff, smoking revolvers still in hand, It ' s about time. Sl iul iiS Si 250 ok. ut 1 -€C ,ti HAVE CONiOHM I ' ..- ' jtiRinf .SJ11.AD isioii ' Tto nsn.
