Marylee Harlan S3_ gezie: 1 HI E ' ■ ' ■ ' ' X ' PresideTit of Organizing Conimiltec oj the Tenth Olympiadc mi: FOREWORD students of Los Angeles High School soon will have tin: rare opportunity of witnessing the greatest international ama- teur sports celebration of ancient or modern times — the 1932 Olympic Games. As one who, in a measure was responsible for bringing the Olympic Games to Los Angeles and whose good fortune it has been to be intimately concerned in the preparations tor them, it is my earnest and sincere hope that all of you may gain from the Games of the Tenth Olympiade some inspiration that will be of lasting help to you in your future lives. Although the Olympic Games are older than Christianity itself, the ideals upon which they are founded are as sacred to the youth today as they were to those of ancient Greece. In the days of olden Greece, children were taught that a clean, healthy body was the only fit abode for an alert mind. Early in life they were imbued with the Olympic ideal and love for their city and country that surpassed the most fervent brand of patriotism any of us can manifest today. The same splendid ideal of clean sportsmanship and love of country that fired the Hellenic youth of past ages to give the best that was in them for the honor of country and the glory of sport will inspire the two thousand athletes from fifty nations when they meet upon the field of competition in Los Angeles. In the years to come you will look back and marvel at the splendid spirit of competition and sportsmanship displayed by the Olympic athletes in Los Angeles. It will then be well for you to remember the words of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the father of modern Olympism: The main issue in life is not the victory but the fight; the essential is not to have won but to have fought well. sa= WILLIAM MAY GARLAND, President of Organizing Coniniilt ' of the Tenth Olympiade. ;y v ' V v ■ iH ' ' Muscles are tensed ivith effort as the athlete prepares to throw the shot.

From 776 B. C, the beginning of the Olympics, there come to 19.32 A. D., the year of the present Olympiade, messages of good will. Fifty countries are sending their best athletes to the Tenth Olympiade; and this world event will illustrate the highest type of sportsmanship, courtesy, and good fellowship. As a result, there will be an increased desire for better and a more active understanding of international problems, leading to a more permanent policy of peace among the nations of the world. The Olympic Games will call very forcefully to the attention of the boys and girls of Los Angeles High School the value of the highest ideals of international good will. These Games will be a stimulus for finer and better personal citizenship on the part of every student. We, your teachers, thank you, the members of the Summer Class of 1932, for your creative leadership, for the courtesy that you have extended to us on many and all occasions, and for your exemplification of high ideals for young manhood and for young womanhood. May I express a personal wish for the future happiness and success of every member of the class? Very sincerely yours. Miss Wolveirtoe s M©s§aie These are the days when wars and rumors of wars Intensify the obligation up- on each of us to do our utmost for the peace of the world. Surely, when many nations send representatives to play to- gether, those nations are increasing in kind- liness toward each other. And, surely we, their hosts, may join in their kindliness, may consecrate our spirits to the encourage- ment of permanent peace. Your friend always. •-principal Sarah Foss Wolverton B MiTo Molble s M©§saii© Once in a generation will the Olym- pics be awarded to America. The Pacific coast may never entertain the world ' s ath- letes aga in within the lives of any of us now living. When we think these facts over care- fully, then we begin to realize the wonder- ful opportunity that presents itself to the citizens of Los Angeles and Southern Cal- ifornia this coming summer. The Summer Class of 1932 is to be con- gratulated upon completing its high school career in this epocal year. Your class, and Los Angeles as a whole, however, have not only a privilege but also a responsibility. Let us show to all of the visiting nations a spirit of friendliness and cordiality, and on the competitive field, nothing but good sportsmanship. In this way, we will justify the real reason for the resumption of the Olympic Games of old times. Very sincerely yours. Vice-pTincipal Ralph C. Noble 32 rami ART DEPARTMENT Roger J. Sterrett.

During the three years since this class of S ' 32 entered, the student population has increased from .3495 to 3770. Administrative organization and efficiency have kept pace. Many of the governmental functions usually devolving upon the Faculty has been intrusted to the students, and thus character and responsibility in citizenship have been developed. Steady growth in enrollment has brought corresponding need for larger facilities. With 1840 boys and 1930 girls now attending classes, the school authorities have well under way the plans for a new building of 18 units to cost $100,000. This structure will be in the same architecture as the main building, fitting harmoniously into the general picturesque group. It will contain a study hall to seat 150 students, two biology laboratories, two sewing rooms, the entire department of commercial sub jeets, including two recitation rooms for commercial law and salesmanship, three typing rooms, two bookkeeping rooms, and the administrative office. With the added conveniences of this new building, students will not have to study in the library or in the auditorium. Most important of the new equipment made available during the present semes- ter is the beautiful Oliver Pool, now ready and waiting for Olympic Games tryouts. Another improvement has been the concreting of the ground in the rear of the boys ' gym. This gives the department opportunity for efficient work even in wet weather when the athletic field may be in poor condition. Quite naturally, the gym department has had great popularity during this last term. With classes totaling 3575, this department led all others in enrollment. Second came the English department with 3342 registered students: and third the social science classes, with 2650 enrolled. The attendance of the other departments was: Spanish, 1070: French, 496; German, 61: Latin, 4SS; Greek, 7; art, 863; commercial subjects, 1685; journalism, 145; home economics, 610; mathematics, 1503; mechanical arts, 444; music, 1119; military, 275; biology, 1602; chemistry, 611; and physics, 267. Steady growth in personnel and equipment, together with ever greater usefulness in the community, characterize the history of our school. We look confidently to the future with its certainty of even larger service. .TUDENT Pf ' ©§idl©et ' § Message Fellow students: When the ancient Greeks contended in Olympic Games, their objective was athletic achievement. Modern Olympics have this too for one aim, but a far greater and nobler purpose motivates present day Olympiads, the strengthening of world friendship bonds by the .association of athletic representatives with one another. As a result, the message of world wide harmony has been conveyed to every important nation by its own sons. We, of the Los Angeles High School, also learn the lesson of friendship, perhaps on not such a large scale, but every bit as applicable. In our interscholastic con- tests, student self government, organizations, and in all school activities, we become acquainted with the value of true friendship. Like Olympic athletes, we spread this knowledge. Thus, we too can do our bit toward furthering amicable relations be- tween individuals and ultimately between nations. Under the very shadow of the Tenth Olympiad, Los Angeles High School has carried to a successful close another term, especially notable for accomplishment in all branches of student endeavor. Enviable scholastic and athletic records have been set, toward which succeeding students will strive. In leaving, I take this opportunity to thank every member of the Student Body for his courteous co-operation which has made my administration a pleasure rather than a responsibility. Sincerely, HAL EVARTS Richard Buckley Divisioe F]r©§id©et§ Messages Dear friends: The world of today is striving for peace, for a true feeling of friendship and good fellowship among the nations. This ideal is upheld and furthered by the Olympic Games, for although different types of people of different nations participate in this international contest, all individual interest is lost in the common interest created,, and this serves to establish a bond of friendship throughout the world. And so, we of L. A. High, with our many differences in character and ideals, are drawn together in a close union of good fellowship by our loyal effort to uphold the high ideals of our school. Thus, a bond of friendship is created that will live forever as a happy memory in our hearts of our days at L. A. and serve as an un- ending source of Inspiration as we seek our individual highways to happiness. Always sincerely yours, JOY BIERLICH Fellow students: As the modern Olympics unify and harmonize all the nations of the world with the ideals of physical and intellectual perfection, so does the Boys ' Division attempt by other means to attain the same high ideals. This year, as always, the fellows strove for physical perfection; and by turning out better than average teams in both track and baseball, they came closer to their ideal of perfection. That intellectual perfection is as important as this physical perfection is proved by the wonderful achievements of the boys in debating, oratory, and scholarship, Thus is shown how important is the Boys ' Division in unifying the activities of the- school. I appreciate immeasurably the opportunity of serving you, and thank you for your fine co-operation. Sincerely yours. DICK BUCKLEY Virginia McNeil Board Presideets Messages Dear students: The athlete in our modern Olympic Games finds great joy in serving and re- presenting his country. The advantages to be gained, both educationally and morally, more than compensate him for the time and effort that he devotes to this cause. So the Girls ' Senior Board finds joy in serving Los Angeles High School. The members are ever willing to strive worthily to fill the position with which they have been honored. May I, on behalf of the Girls ' Senior Board, extend to the girls of the Student Body our appreciation for their co-operation during this past term? Your friend. VIRGINIA McNEIL Fellow Romans: The coming of the 1932 Olympiad brings our semester to a close. As the Olympic games of old incited the Greek youth to even greater endeavor, so may this great- est of all Olympiads serve as a perpetual goal of achievement to us. Many noble sons of L. A. High will have the honor of representing our country in these games. This is but another link in the chain of achievements wrought by L. A. High alumni. We too will soon join the ranks of alumni of this great institution, and I hope our actions also will always be inspired by the spirit of Modern Olympics. The successful semester, we have just completed, has appropriately served to usher in the greatest international event ever observed in Los Angeles. I sincerely trust we shall always remember this momentous year; and until we meet again, I wish you all the best of success. Sincerely vours.

The events remembered most vividly are the Senior A and B contests, the Senior A and B debates, and the Star and Crescent exercises. The theme. Modern Olympics, a bond of world friendship, is carried out in our finest accomplishment, the Semi-Annual. We extend our greatest appreciation and thanks to the pilots. Miss Conley and Mr. Heilly, for guiding us through a most successful voyage. Miss Mary Conley Seeior A Spoesors We, of Summer ' 32, have had as our class sponsors two of the outstanding mem- bers of the Faculty, Miss Mary G. Conley of the social science department, and Mr. A. M. Reilly of the commercial department. In setting your hearts upon us, you have proved yourselves willing to do all that you could for us; you have been two real friends. So it is easily understood that the success that has been ours is due in a great measure to your devotion to the best interests of our class. We are fortunate to have been members of a class under your direction. The time has now come to say goodbye to you. Miss Conley, and to you, Mr. Reilly. We, the Summer Class of ' 32, most sincerely thank you, and you may rest assured that we appreciate what you have done for us, and that we shall always think of you in terms of the highest possible regard. May the rest of your lives be as pleasant as you have made ours under your sponsorship.

SENIOR B Seimioir B Officers President: Herman Miller Vice-president: Sylvia Rosenberg Secretary: Aline Baxter Treasurer: Richard Daum Sponsors : Miss Grace Champion Miss Lucy Adams The class of Winter ' 33 will occupy a unique position in the annals of the school ■as it has the honor of being the one hundredth class to graduate from the oldest high school in the city of Los Angeles. The theme of this class will carry out the centenary idea. This class has chosen red and white as its colors. The pin, a mod- ernistic design in which the white numerals contrast effectively with a deep red back- ground, is an ornament of which we may all be proud. Our distinction will more than ever encourage us to uphold the high ideals of our school. The Senior B ' s hope to complete as successful a term as this term ' s graduating class, under the guidance of our able sponsors, Miss Grace Champion and Miss Lucy Adams.

Class Proplheey Ladies and Gentlemen! You are about to hear the opening ceremonies of the 1960 Olympic Games, brought to you over radio station BLOP. This is Monroe R. Rubin announcing, through the courtesy ot the Ringleaders ' Club, president, John Cowles. The Games of 1932 proved so successtul that through the efforts ot Hal Evarts, international chairman ot the Olympic Games committee, the Games are once again being held in the fair city of Los Angeles. As I stand here, I can see the snow-clad mountains. I can smell the fragrance of the orange blossoms, wafted — but wait, ladies and gentlemen! Messrs. Goldsmith, Drake, Leonard and Brewer, Corps Area Commanders, accompanied by Allan Sedgwick, Secretary of War, have just entered the stadium. There seems to be a little disturbance. Three stealthy figures are skulking along behind the distinguislied officers, darting silently from post to post; but I can ' t quite make out — Oh yes. It is Bob Hosick, Stephen Lowe, and Marian Crumley. Bob and Steve are both clutching a camera in each hand, vainly attempting to photograph the officers; and Marian, grasping a stack of photo summons, is peering anxiously into each face. A sad sight, ladies and gentlemen, a sad sight. And here is none other than that famous connoisseur ot haircuts, Monsieur Jacques Stanley. Oh Mr. Stanley — will you say a few words to the audience of the ether? Hello everybody! Would you like to become popular over night? A special Jacques Stanley wind-blown effect haircut will make you irresistible. Thank you. Friends of radio land, may I beg you to disregard that last statement, as adver- tising is not — Wait! Wait! A taxi has just entered the gates, driven by Milbank McFie; and in it is his Honor, the Governor, Sid Rosin! Tlie crowd is cheering, and — oh oh! The worst has happened! Just as the taxi was passing the booth, it collided with Marvin Busby and is now a mass of raging flames! Help! Will no one save the Gov- ernor? Yes, yes, here comes the Are engine, driven by none other than Chief Colver Briggs, who is wearing a charming red fireman ' s helmet, created in the Paris Shoppe of Miss Lucille Martin. Chief Briggs courageously spreads his net and shouts for Milbank to jump! He seems to have forgotten the Governor! Friends of the ether, the excitment has af fected me — I am seeing colored spots! No, no, it is only Betty Bennett in her yellow car. She is accompanied by Alverda Lerrigo, Ruth Jaffa and Peggy Henry; and they are all flourishing note books and shrieking, Who, what, where, when, and how, as all good reporters should. The crowd is growing wild! He ' s away! He ' s away! No! Drowned on the forty yard line! Ah, here come Richard Buckley, Preston Davis and Vic Andrews, the assistant firemen, all carrying buckets ot water. At last, the fire is extinguished! The governor has emerged in- tact. Who is that hopeful looking man in black? Yes, it is Bert Morris, the undertaker. He is leaving now, disappointedly. The melee has been cleared away, and the cer- emonies are about to begin. Oh Miss Bierlich! Miss Bierlich! Won ' t you bark for us? Please? Ladies and gentlemen. Miss Joy Bierlich, the internationally known dog imitator has just entered, but has a cold and will be unable to bark for us today. What a pity! You are missing a rare treat. Just a moment! A great limousine is just passing the broadcasting booth and in it are no less persons than Frances Fol- som, Alison Cunningham, Julia Fitting, Virginia and Barbara McNeil, Margaret McHargue, Elizabeth Rossteuscher, Carmel Chambers, Grace EUman and Cecelia Stall. They are all wearing heavy veils, and the car. driven by Johnny Ross, is heavily guarded by Colonel Charles Barry and Jack Ballard. These mysterious women com- prised the former Senior Board at Los Angeles High School; but after graduation they were ousted from society by their classmates in return for the demerits which they so heartlessly dealt out. They have lived in seclusion ever since, knitting socks for the Mary Emeline Smith Hospital Welfare League. At last! Ladies and Gentlemen, the opening parade has begun. The first sight to greet my eyes is the matchless float bearing the official Olympic Games hostesses, Marylee Harlan and lone Bell. They are gorgeously attired in gowns designed by those well-known designers. Margaret Sprague and Adeline Howard. Their ladies in waiting are their former classmates, Nathalia Seifert, Jane Dodge, Elizabeth Harris, Margaret Radis, Betty Henry, Rosalyn Morse and Gunhild Ahlburg. Gunhild by the way, is the famous young lady who has never been known to smile since she finished her thank- less job of being the joke editor of the S ' 32 Semi-Annual. That strange sound you may hear in the background is only the scratching of the pens of Harry Diamond and Bob DeWitt, who are frantically attempting to capture on paper the beauty of the scene. Next to pass in revue is the official car bearing Arthur Groman. Edward Boyd, Philip Shacknove and ' Professor Angelo Ferraris, who will officially open the Games. The car just passing bears the Japanese ambas sador to America, the Honorable Yas- uhiro Goh, and next: ladies and gentlemen, next comes the big event of the afternoon — Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to announce that our time is up, and I must transfer controls back to the main studio, located on the top floor of the Maury Grossman Correspondance School of Repartee. First, however, may I remind you that this broadcast has been brought you through the courtesy of the Ringleaders ' Club, Makers of Men. This is Monroe R. Rubin announcing. Station BLOP signing oft. Good afternoon. It you don ' t like our little jokes ; Their dryness leaves you prone, You might exert your feeble brain And write some of your own. Vast ivaters, deep and unsounded, boundless as the visions which have inspired genius since time began. v- IM 1 i i Los Angeles, a great metropolis, Mecca of the modern world! In a short month,- the eyes of every country will be turned toward her, Queen of the Golden West, des- tination of a modern world wide trek across ocean and desert, by railway, boat, and plane. The world travellers come as pioneers of nineteen thirty-two, in search of the newest of California ' s treasures, the Modern Olympic Games. As hostess, Los Angeles will welcome these sport lovers, and will offer them the enjoyment of her perfect climate and the inspiration of her scenic beauty, which afford so desirable a setting for the Tenth Olympiade. These Olympic Games promote a world-wide interest in healthful recreatiou. They prove the ability of notable athletes. However, to me, the most amazing fact is that soon in our own city, those nations which seemed in war times forever sundered from amicable relations will forget all old enmities while the youth of forty-six nations strive like true sportsmen for championships. Thus, these periodical international contests serve as a bond of world friendship by strengthening our feeling of under- standing and respect for our foreign neighbors. Therefore, Los Angeles, City of the Angels, will be the scene of a history making event. She will become the connecting link in the great chain of international friend- ships, to promote the peaceful relationship of the family of nations. She will give all for the success of this purpose; and her efforts will not fail, for The guards of our city are angels. They will keep her always in right. Safe in the paths of justice and truth. And strong in her courage and might. MARYLEE HARLAN Editor-in-chiet Los Angeles, our own, beautiful Southern California city, has been chosen from all the urban centers of the United States to be hostess to the great athletes of the- world during the Tenth Modern Olympiade. This is a great responsibility, but a great opportunity as well. The eyes of all the world will be centered on us during these international games, and Los Angeles must prove to those watching her that shfr is worthy of the honor bestowed upon her. Truly, she has started out bravely with her plans and preparations, for this Olympiade promises to be the most successful yet held. Streets have been widened and renamed in honor of the event; our majestic Coliseum has been made larger; a new swimming pool is being fashioned accord- ing to Olympic regulations; the marine stadium at Long Beach is being built to suit all requirements; and. above all, the elaborate and very satisfactory plans for the Olympic Village have been completed; and the village itself will soon be ready to welcome its occupants from all over the world. Indeed, the guests will lack nothing in the way of convenience or comforts; and all the requirements of the Games are to be fulfilled. Yet, there is an essential of success which is more intangible than mere material preparations and which will mean much to the Olympic Games this year. This is the- spirit of friendship. How necessary it is for Los Angeles to create this feeling among the nations that are to be her guests! How necessary it is for the nations to feel the hand of friendship stretch out to them, and for them to give their hands in return! And this can be accomplished. Let each one of us as a factor of our great city, strive toward this ideal of world peace and friendship. Let us remember that it is the- duty of each of us to be a perfect host to our nation ' s guest, to be an honorable rival in the Games and a willing friend. lONE BELL Assistant editor 109 Editorials Men have struggled to advance world peace and friendship by many methods, but ■chief among them is ever the movement for a universal language. Some misunder- stand language to mean only one of the tongues and accordingly exhort all to learn Esperanto. But why should we struggle to master a new language when we have such a language, old as time itself, which each of us instinctively has known from our youngest days, a language whose bonds are stronger and more far reaching than any spoken, a language of common ideals and common interests as shown upon the field of athletics? Hard, indeed, to find is the nation who is not proud in the posses- sion of a national game, who does not uphold as ideals the qualities of sportsmanship, courage, and honor in all endeavor and undertakings. Moreover, the nations have recognized this great opportunity tor universal understanding and are making the most of it; for here the Olympic Games serve their purpose of bringing us closer to- gether in the most friendly competition. After the Olympic Games, the youth of today is able to go home filled with re- spect tor the honorable conduct and achievement of other nations on the field of sportsmanship and skill. We may be sure that tomorrow when he has stepped to the lielm of his country, that respect and admiration will have flamed into international friendship; and its light will fill the earth with peace. NATHALIE SEIFERT Senior A editor All the world looks eagerly and interestedly on the Ol.vmpic Games, but the ■eyes of youth look the hardest and are the most far-seeing. These Olympic Games mean for youth an embodiment of physical perfection, a true competition and an idealistic gathering of all nations. Youth admires youth. Every boy and girl is exhilarated when watching the grace and poise of an athlete and the ease of trained muscles. This is a spur to better training. A true athletic body is the envy of every boy, and physical perfection is an aim for which he sets his goal. Competition is the interest of every youth of the world. A good fight is fun to watch, but well organized and well carried on matches are especially thrilling. The preparatory work that the Organization Committee does to set the stage for the •Games shows every youth that all good and fair competition must be well organized. In this day and age, the work that every youth will undertake is a game of fair com- petition. International peace and friendly feeling are strong in the minds of every one at present. The Olympic Games do much to promote this feeling among all nations. It is the youth of the world that sees the effect of the international friendliness of the Games, and the youth are the hope of the world. If these Olympic Games could only fill every future world citizen with the realization of the desirability and the good of world peace, this peace would be assured. The Olympic Games of 1932 will do much to influence the youth of the world better to train their bodies, better to organize their work and to help in plans for peace. MARION CRUMLEY Individual photo manager The Olympic Games, held this year at Los Angeles, possess a special interest to those who are desirous of bringing about world peace. The participants in these games, from every nation of the world, are selected as the highest types of manhood of their respective countries. They are to assemble here in America to engage in friendly com- petition. These athletes will exemplify absolute fairness and a willingness to abide by established rules, in a spirit of cheerfulness and good nature. They will also show good sportsmanship, which is utterly opposed to vulgar quarreling. Olympic Games will not only enable these participants to meet one another in a spirit of good fellowship, but also familiarize them with the customs and habits of the people of distant lands: foreigners will become less foreign; strangeness will disappear; and misunderstanding among nations will gradually cease. The friendly competition in the athletic arena sets an excellent example of international relation- ships and promotes a feeling of good will and peace. This period is peculiarly fitting in the world ' s history for such an assemblage of the best of every nation, now when the world ' s people are struggling to recover from the world war, and the clamor for perpetual peace is universal. Results to- ward this end may be hastened here in our beau tiful Southern California, results which the League of Nations and Peace Conferences in Europe are endeavoring .to accomplish. MARY EMELINE SMITH Organization editor 110 Los Angeles, as hostess to the world, will aid in bringing together men of all nations and in creating a friendly understanding among them thru the Olympics. In this ca- pacity, her desire is to be a milestone in the cultivation ot world friendship. Those who are the most familiar with the Olympics know that this aspiration will gain for the contestants both physical and moral benefits. By means ot the housing program for the athletes, this essential ideal ot tne Olympics will be accomplished. This program of housing these athletes planned by Los Angeles is ambitious. It embraces the gigantic plan of erecting a village, ultra modern in every detail. This Olympic Village will surpass the dreams of tne most audacious Greek. Thus in place ot the old method of the competing athletes ' dwelling in any con- venient place, Los Angeles will take great care to provide an atmosphere in which men of many nations will be able to find a common interest. With the growth of this common Interest, a deep understanding will be rooted and later flourish. This gathering of the teams in itself is a symbol of world democracy. The women will live in the dormitories at the University of Southern California. They, too, will ad- vance the movement of world friendship through the medium of companionship which thrives in such surroundings. Therefore, one can readily perceive that in these congenial environments, new acquaintances will be made which in time will grow into a bond ot international friend- ship. This village will act as a clearing house for the exchange ot ideas and thoughts ot the contending athletes. Thus, Los Angeles will contribute as hostess to a quickened, national, world-wide interest in world friendship. STEPHEN LOEW Group photo manager From forty-six nations, from every corner ot the earth, they come, proud, daunt- less youths, striving side by side with but one aim — victory. Two thousand strong, they represent the heart ' s best of their homelands. Not one among them deserves to lose; yet victory is dear, and only a tew of these gallant athletes may reap its bright rewards. What, then, ot that vast majority to whom victory will be denied? Has all their striving been in vain? Are they but to return home chastened by defeat, poorer in spirit than when they came? No idea could be farther from the magnificent truth. Win or lose, every man among them will retrace his steps thrice-fold enriched, not only in courage, wit, and skill, but endowed with that mightier wealth which comes with friendliness. There upon the athletic field, sharing the dust and sweat with men ot foreign tongue and strange beliefs, he will discover them all to be but laughing youths like himself, these strangers whom he has always considered merely foreigners . He will find that under many a swarthy skin beats as vibrant a heart as his own; he will discern the gleam ot youthful friendliness in the slant eyes of those alert Orientals; he will thrill to an answering warmth in the hand grip of those sturdy sons ot the Northland. A new world will unfold before his eyes, bounded, not by the limits of his own petty nation, but spreading to the very ends ot the earth. Olympian athlete, grieve not it victory is destined for other than yourself; re- joice only in that greater gift which is yours, tor — What matter color, race, or creed? What matter even who the victor be? You know these strangers now as men. Your friends through all eternity. BETTY BENNETT Literary editor A Mid=Vi©it©iriae Sister vSo A Moderim Olymmpi© Co=ed First Prize — Senior A Contest How easy our task would be If we could picture a Mid-Victorian Miss and a Modern Olympic Co-ed as characters in fiction, fabricate delightful dialogues between them, and construct a climax in which the virtue of one character would triumph over that of the other. But an essay is first and last an interpretation of fact and conjecture, and must not stray too tar into the realm of fiction. If we could exhibit the Mid-Victorian girl and the Modern Olympic Co-ed as the mannequins ot today are displayed, you would see the most obvious contrast in outward appearance. A Mid-Victorian sister, with her long sweeping skirt, her tiny waist, her chignon of curls, and her dainty feet, makes a charming picture, but one which should be framed in a wide gilt frame and hung upon the wall. The Modern Olympic Co-ed, on the other hand, is far too vital a person to be consigned to a gold frame. From the tip of her bobbed hair to her comfortable spiked shoes, and from her sleeveless blouse and brief running shorts to the low socks which reveals an expanse of leg — a word not even used in the Mid- Victorian days — she is the symbol of emancipated womanhood. But is the outward appearance an indication of different education, occupations, and attitudes? The education of a Mid-Victorian girl supplied her with many lady-like activ- ities, a little painting and French, a little embroidery and music, and a great abundance of the social graces which Ruskin mentions so scornfully. A volume would be required to describe the education of her twentieth century sister. From the ele- mentary school, she has gone side by side with her brother; and science and math- ematics have equal places with history, languages, and literature. Ci vics and social problems have broadened her mind and deepened her thinking; she can talk with ease on Galsworthy and Einstein, or the theory of social dynamics. She has come a long distance from the conventions of Mid-Victorian society, and her freedom from chaperonage and other restraints would have caused the more conservative maiden to seek her smelling salts. While the Mid-Victorian Miss was often admired for her delicate constitution, and her fainting fits were found interesting, Miss Olympia takes the utmost pride in building up the physical perfection of her body. Miss Victoria of London town took her exercise in mild doses. She cantered gently up and down the mall, draped in many yards of riding habit, or drove out in her carriage in the afternoon. If she were very athletically inclined, there would ' be short rows on the river or games of lawn tennis, in which she would bat balls with sweet twittering little crys. Miss Olympia has been trained in athletics since grammar school days. Hockey, basket- ball, baseball, and volleyball are stressed in school; while outside of school, her activities are swimming, hiking, playing tennis or golf, driving a car, or even fiying if she is especially daring. If she is skilled in some form ot athletics, she must under- go the most rigid training in order to enter into the great competition. She may have decided to enter in track, water sports, tennis or gymnastics, and must have a skillful coach who will supervise her training carefully. The education and environment of both these types of women determine their attitudes. In Mid-Victorian days, matrimony was considered the most important factor ot the social and economic world. With lengthened years of education, and varied opportunities for a career, matrimony is not the only aim for the modern girl who considers it not the chief en d of her existence, but a valuable asset in her development. In education, occupation, and attitude then, sixty years have made a profound change, and on the whole, a progressive one. Perhaps in no way has the change in attitude been so noticeable as that towards world friendship and world peace. In the elementary schools, the modern girl receives a wide knowledge of children in other lands; later, in oUr cosmopolitan city high schools, world friendship clubs bring her into contact with young people of foreign-born parentage; and in college, she works side by side with ambitious students from other lands. All these opportunities our Modern Olympic Co-ed is enjoying, tend to destroy the narrow provincialism that was apt to characterize our Mid-Victorian sister; but perhaps more than all, Miss Olympia has the widest opportunity tor world-wide acquaintances. If friend- ship creates better understanding, how much more powerful a mechanism is being constructed for world peace out of the friendships of the Olympic Games.

And how have the War-dogs ' chiefest aids, Turned from slaughter, been reconciled; And how o ' erthrown wars ' filthy trades, And met on a field un-blood-defiled, Despite past bloodshed, reconciled? For men have risen in spirit and mind. Loud though the pessimists wail their song; And man knows now that to kill his kind Is seldom a way of righting a wrong, Fair though the warrior writes his song. Men will say that the Games are bands. Forged and shaped in brotherhood. What are the Games but rites that stand As the sign of a new law understood. The paramount law of brotherhood. Standing hatless beneath the sun We give homage to all the flags. Seeing here a parade begun That down through the ages never lags, Down through the ages. Parade of Flags. RALPH BROWN Victor Organization Prize Poem — Forum The two walk by, the one with flowing robe — The tunic of his time — and on his head A garland made of flowers wild and gay, Dancing to his firm and steady tread. His name, which might be Hercules, was one Whose fame had spread throughout his native Greece. His eye was blue: his jaw was knit in strength. His curls were thick, and gold as Jason ' s Fleece. The other, by whose side the image walked, Clacked heels and tossed an olive-oiled head. The massive bloom he wore in his lapel Was ponderously odorous and red. This modern Dionysus ' name was Joe, And by no fault of parentage unscrupulous As well it might have been, his latter name — Apollo! Do I dare repeat ' ? — was Poppadoupolous! Upon the field of combat these two come. The one the ancient, one the modern Greek, My fertile mind arranges grips and holds, As straining every nerve, becoming weak, The almost-vanquished sinks upon the turf, His body loose, his glistening head bent low. The crowd roars high, the victor borne away — The victor ? Who ? Not Hercules — but Joe !

BILL O ' BRIEN 115 R©§poe§ilbility of Am Athlet© to His Moinnie Coeetry Second Prize — Senior A Contest As both a diplomatic and an athletic representative, the Olympic participant has certain, definite responsibilities to the nation which he is honored to represent. His responsibilities are of a serious nature and of international scope. The very re- quisites of personality and character are not far less pronounced tor the envoy upon the athletic field than for the envoy in the courts of his accredited nation. This equality of power must exist between the Olympic envoy and the political represent- ative since their relationships to the home country are quite similar. Both owe their very life, training, and background to the race of which they are representative members; both are bound to respect certain, irrevocable responsibilities to their home country. These responsibilities of the athlete are often not apparent to the casual observer because the predominating theory is that the Olympic athlete is an independent agent. However, an athlete participates, not as a man, but as a nation. Among the many duties which he owes to his home country are the debts of service, of achievement, and of representation. The fulfillment and satisfaction of these constitute the re- sponsibility of the athlete to his home country. The first debt may only be paid by service honestly delivered upon the athletic field. Such service does not require the athlete to win, but it does demand that he expend his best efforts in behalf of his cause. Upon this point, Baron de Coubertin, the founder of modern Olympics, recently said, The main issue in life is not the victory but the fight; the essential is not to have won but to have fought well. To spread these precepts is to pave the way for a more valiant humanity, stronger and con- sequently more scrupulous and more generous. The fact that service is a part of the responsibility of the athlete ta his home country is an assurance that there is no place for the idler or the trifler in the Olympic Games. The very nature of the contest is bound up with the predominat- ing motive of action. Athletes can not be parasites; they must be producers. Service, as the athlete ' s debt to his home country, means the deliverance of the fullest measure of toil and talent upon the athletic field. The second responibility of the athlete to his home country is his debt of achieve- ment. The athlete is sent to the Olympic Games to establish the physical standing of his nation and, if he is capable, to embellish its athletic honor and glory. An Olympic victory is more than a personal triumph; it is the exaltation of the entire race which the particular athlete represents. Moreover, an Olympic victory can not be rewarded with any prize of intrinsic value because the true reward of the Olympic victor should be the ' ineffable satisfaction of his knowing that he has gloriously fulfilled his responsibility to achievement. Homer recites, A man wins no greater glory so long as he lives than the athletic victories he gains with his hands and feet. Lastly, let us consider the third and most serious obligation of the athlete tO ' his home country, the debt of representation. Like any true diplomat, the work of the Olympic athlete consists of more than the mere performance of obligatory duties. The real task of the athlete participating in the Olympic Games is rather the culti- vation of international good will and the display of the worthiest characteristics and ideals of the race of which he is a representative member. As the promoter of international good will, the Olympic athlete may be of major importance. The Olympic athlete has it within his power to captivate the good will and appreciation of millions of sport enthusiasts from every country. These im- pressions made upon the Olympic field can know no border. Men of high character, in friendly competition, guided and united by common interests, can aid materially in the establishment of a more amicable understanding among nationalities, if not among governments. We pray, as said Baron de Coubertin, May joy and good fellow- ship reign, and in this manner may the Olympic Torch pursue its way through the ages, increasing friendly understanding among nations, for tne good of humanity always more enthusiastic, more generous, and more pure. When the Olympic athlete has taken full cognizance of his responsibility to his home country, when he has, with honor, paid his debts of service, of achievement, and of representation, then, and then only, may he say, as did Saint Paul, I have fought a good fight; I have finished my course; henceforth there is laid up for me a crown. MONROE R. RUBIN, A12 116 First Prize — Story Contest A bright sun. gleaming on tlie darli heads of Southerners, malting the fair heads of sons and daughters of the North shine like burnished gold — many colored dresses making splashes of ruby, emerald, sapphire, amethyst, against the surging back- .ground of people — a low undertone of human voices, French. German. English. Spanish. Italian; people talking, people eating, people laughing, people of all kinds, all colors, all creeds, brought together by one common bond, the love of sport — War, hatred, prejudice, all forgotten; all the world joining hands in brotherhood — These thoughts raced through Helen Grayson ' s head as she heard the referee ' s voice. Next match. Miss Helen Grayson of the United States and Fraulein Mary Hard- mann of Germany. Almost without knowing what she was doing, Helen walked out on the court. Again her mind began to race. All these flags around the courts, flags of all nations, herself playing on the first court, representing the United States just as surely as those boys who had gone over to flght the Germans in 191S, only she was flghting in peace — I mustn ' t think of anything, not those people up there; not the flags, only the ame — Helen came back to earth. Her mind cleared. There was her opponent ■with the ball in her hand, ready to begin the first serve. But during the rally she had been thinking, hitting the ball back absently, she could not even remember if she had gotten them back at all. Was she losing her nerve, now. after all the tournaments she lad played? She must concentrate, this match; she had to win — the United States — Germany — she could not let the United States lose! Game. Fraulein Hardmann, the referee ' s vo ice called, first set; the games stand three games to none in favor of Fraulein Hardmann. As they changed courts. Helen ' s heart sank. Already she had lost three games; she had to rally to hold her opponent. It was her serve. Now was the time to use that serve she had been practicing so long, the hard shot into the left corner of her adversary ' s court. Her first serve went over with terrific force. Fault, called the referee. The second ball flew from the racket like a cannon ball. It barely skimmed the net. Double fault. Fifteen, Fraulein Hardmann. Helen set her teeth. Doubles! She ' d have to make sure this serve would go in. It was rather an easy one, to the right side this time. This seemed to surprise the 3erman girl, who was expecting another hard one; and she barely returned it. The ball bounced high; and with all her love of tennis for the thrill of the game surging hack into her. Helen jumped high into the air and gave a perfect exhibition of her famed smash. The burst of applause that followed gave Helen new confidence in herself. This •was not at all different from other tournaments she had played in. A sharply angled ball caused her to run far back and into the corner. As she hit the ball. Helen slipped and fell; and before she had time to rise, the ball was whizzing over the net at her. Out of the corner of her eye. Helen saw her opponent standing close to the net near the right hand corner of the court. From a kneeling position. Helen reached out and hit the ball into the left corner, out of reach of the German girl. Arising amidst another burst of applause. Helen glanced at the other and saw in her eyes a look of friendly admiration, which somewhat surprised her, as she had felt that they should be more or less, well, not exactly enemies — Game and set. Miss Grayson. The sets now stand one all. Helen was serving again. That cannonball, it had not worked: yet, maybe now It would. It did. As it barely skimmed the net and struck the court in the very corner, the German girl missed it completely. She returned the next service, how- ever, into the same corner where Helen had tripped before. This time, she made a heautiful drive in return, which was promptly returned to her. Helen drove the ball back to the base line and then took the net, to volley successfully her opponent ' s return. Now Helen was playing her usual championship game, as could be told by the frequent applause of the crowd, which had hitherto been rather silent, except when her opponent made a good shot. The crowd was mostly American, but they recognized the ability of the foreigner and gave her her share of praise. The set went on rather monotonously until the games stood at five all. The ■German girl was serving. Her serve had a queer twist which never failed to dis- concert Helen. The ball left the racket like an arrow from a bowstring: and about the time it reached the net, something happened; it seemed to turn sideways and land in some unexpected place. It tired Helen even more than her terrific drives to the baseline. 117 The sun started to go down a little, and the terrible glare was somewhat lessened. Helen began to feel tired, awfully tired; her arms and legs and eyes ached unbearably. She must not weaken now. Here came that serve again. She must have strength to meet it, to return it. There it was coming over the net; it twisted, fell into the right corner, on the line. Helen ' s drive found the net. The next and the next did the same. The fourth landed far outside. Game, Fraulein Hardmann. The games stand at six to five, third set. While they changed courts, Helen again looked up into the gallery. Someone in the front row smiled at her. They wanted her to win, those people up there, at least most of them did. They wanted ' her to fight, like the boys who had gone across in ' 17. They hadn ' t quit when the going became rough, or when they were tired; they had carried on — she must — Helen ' s arms ached as she raised them for the serve. Well, what of it? Those people wanted to see her win; she wanted to win. They rallied back and forth; the the ball became simply a white speck that she had to hit, a symbol of something which she had to keep going; it couldn ' t stop. The games were six all, seven-six, in favor of Helen. Again she had to serve. If only she didn ' t have to serve! Her arms were like lead. She wondered if the terrific strain of the sets was affecting her opponent as it was her. She glanced at her before serving the ball. The other ' s face was white; her lips, set. The service was good. The ball bounded back. Helen won the point on a well placed lob. Her next serve was the swift one to the corner of the court, although it taxed her remaining strength sorely. It was an ace! The score was thirty-love. Just two more points were all she needed. Helen drove the next ball out. Thirty-five. Her serve was rather easy; and the German girl tried to lob; but Helen was in the way of the ball, and smashed it for the point. A hard drive by the German girl went out, and the set was over! The color splashed mass of spectators stood up then and roared to its heart ' s con- tent — the American flag waved on high — the court spun around, righted itself, Helen shook hands with the girl who had fought so hard for her country, and lost. The girl smiled, a rather haggard, friendly, smile — Helen threw her arms about her shoul- ders — they were walking off together — she was Olympic champion — America had carried on! RUTH W.

RAYMOND JAFFE 118 A Greek Athlete Vievy§ the Modeirim Games Honorable Mention — Senior A Contest All Olympus was tired of hearing Zeno boast of his triumphs in the Olympic Games. For two thousand years, he had been bombastically relating how he defeated that upstart from Sparta to win the laurel wreath in 490 B. C. One day, Zeus called Zeno into his presence and said to him. Zeno. for centuries you have been boring the gods and the warriors with your tales of prowess. You have exhausted my patience. Now. there has been a revival of the ancient games. The tenth of these is being held at Los Angeles in California, beginning this very day. You shall go to these Olympic Games. If you can speak vaingloriously when you return — well, we shall see. Zeno arrived at the immense coliseum; packed to the very topmost tier of seats as it was. it awed him; and he entered trembling. Luckily, he retained the invisibility with which death had invested him; so he was unseen. Zeno made his way to the athletic field where men were running and jumping, and throwing the spear and discus. As Zeno carelessly cut across the sward, he was nearly hit by a flying discus. Looking angrily around to see from whence it came, he saw a man in a small ring recovering his balance, and immediately knew the source of his near injury. But could it be? Zeus! That fellow ' s too far away to have thrown the discus. exclaimed the startled Zeno. But even as he spoke, a second athlete stepped into the circle and cast a shi ning disc far above the wondering shade ' s head. Zeno hurried away, muttering charms against these mortals who seemed to have the strength of Hercules and the grace of Apollo. As Zeno continued on his way, he came to another group who were practicing what had been his strongest event in the long ago at Olympia, the javelin throw. Yet, as he watched them he could scarcely believe his eyes, for they sent the wooden shafts whirling past his best mark. Slowly he turned away, saddened at the sight. Then a brilliant thought came to Zeno. Surely these beings who produced such muscular men would not have runners who could match their speed witli that of him w-ho had defeated the cream of all Hellas! He would run in one of the shorter races; they would not be able to see him. and what a satisfaction it would be to carry back to Olympus a new tale — a tale of how he had won from the fleetest sprinters the world could ofl ' er; as Zeno came to the track, the dash men were just ready to begin their race. With the soimd of the starter ' s gun, the runners were off. Manfully did Zeno strive, but he crossed the finish line last by a goodly margin. From field to track to gymnasium, to boxing ring, he wandered, always hoping to find some activity in which he could excel as he had in the Golden Days. Always these moderns were distinctly superior to wliat he had been. Heartsick with the futile search and fearing to face the laughter of the gods, Zeno watched the Olympics for two days. As he gazed, he began to draw a parallel between them and the ones he had known. He saw a boxer, sorely hurt, assisted to his corner by a chivalrous opponent, and recalled that the same type of sportsmanship had been found in the Grecian games. He saw a man run for miles, and finally, leg-weary and with his face contorted by the cruel strain, sprint past one less determined, to win a. grueling race and fall across the finish in a collapse. Many men had displayed such courage in the olden days. At last, the Olympic Games were over. The final award had been made; the last trumpet ' s call had sounded ' . Filled with a sense of the new glory with which an old tradition had been surrounded. Zeno retook himself to the mount of the gods. There once more, he presented himself before the great Zeus to deliver his report. O Mighty Ruler, he cried, I have fulfilled my mission. I have seen these new Olympics; and the world is carrying on in the spirit which motivated the games in those days at .Athens. Sportsmanship, loyalty to country, courage, perseverance, love for the contest between men whose hearts are forever striving tor a distant goal; all these I have found and more.

ESTHER PELTON 119 Tlh© Olyimpi© Gai]r]rae§=— Ae Opportimeiity For World Frieedslhip The Olympic Games bring to tlie nations a rare opportunity tor promoting world triendsliip. Tlie Olympic movement gives to the world an ideal of friendship and of true sportsmanship, which accomplishes much towards uniting the world in affection and esteem. These aids to world friendship, which the Olympic Games create, give to the world a great opportunity to put international relationships on a friendly basis. Some of these incentives are the Ol.vmpic oath, the opening ceremony, the other opportunity for international competition, and the bringing about of appreciation of people.3. The Olympic oath is, We swear that we will take part in the Olympic Games in loyal competition, respecting the regulations which govern them and desirous of participating in the true spirit of sportsmanship and for the glory of the sport. ' This declaration voices the creed of true sportsmanship. Since all beliefs are united in the creed of true sportsmanship, which stands for the advancement of peace and good will among all peoples, we can see that the Olympic oath is one of the links joining the nations of the world. The next link in the international chain of friendship is the feeling promoted by the opening ceremony. During this pageant, there is an atmosphere of solemnity and dignity. Among the spectators, there is the hope that the festivals will be a great aid in establishing international understanding. When the picked athletes of the various countries march in review amid a forest of flags, which symbolizes the prized friendship among all nations, a brotherly feeling is incited in everyone by this Parade of Nations. The impressive act of setting free many homing pigeons stirs in the peoples ' souls a feeling of unity. This act is symbolic of the gathering of the nations of the earth to make contacts in order to become acquainted and to understand each other better and then, to separate to return to their respective homes, carrying with them messages of peace and good will. This ceremonial open- ing of the Games provides a great opportunity for world friendliness because of the feeling of reverence and comradeship, which are elevated to great heights by the desire for equality and true sportsmanship. Another aid to inaugurating an era of greater peace and concord among the nations is international competition. At the Olympic Games of 1928, an Egyptian was seen to embrace a French opponent when the judges had decided that the Frenchman had won. This incident shows how friendship and brotherly feeling have been in- stilled into the souls of the athletes. The Olympic Games furnish many opportunities for world friendship as seen in the Olympic ideal, oath, and opening ceremony. The opportunity for international competition and appreciation of peoples helps to bind the nations together by pro- ducing common thoughts and better understanding of each other. The Prince of Wales called the Olympic Games the Sporting League of Nations because they are break- ing down the ignorance and distrust of foreigners and the beliefs that led to war. Perhaps this Sporting League of Nations has done more than the League of Nations to make different peoples understand each other. It the opportunities offered for world friendship by the Olympic Games are applied, the Olympic torch may pursue its way through the ages, increasing friendly understanding among the nations, for the good of humanity always more enthusiastic, more courageous, and ' more pure.

J Second Prize — Story Contest Coward! The hateful word surged through his mind as the young pole vaulter clutched the limber bamboo between clenched fists and savagely gritted his teeth. Barely three years before, the boy remembered how he had been vaulting for his high school. As he had been just about to hurl his body over the bar, the pole had suddenly shattered; and he had fallen with great force upon his back. He had felt as if every iota of breath had been crushed out of his body. When the coach helped him to his feet, the boy could scarcely stand on his shaky legs. From that time, the youth avoided this event. His friends had sniffed in disgust and said he was a coward. Yellow! They were right. The boy was afraid of the pole, and his nerve failed each time he saw the other fellows vaulting. Although he tried to force his quaking body to attempt the leap, something had kept him from even sprinting toward the bar. Graduation made him eligible for college; and he pursued other sports, doing well in them all. You would make a good pole vaulter, Jim, the track coach told the red-haired athlete one morning as they were viewing the boys training in the field events. Have you ever tried it? Jim confessed it had been his favorite event, and then told the story connected with it. The coach had listened with interest. Well, boy, there is nothing I can do. I guess it is up to you. Jim had heard the disappointed tone, and his face turned scarlet. With envy, he watched the boys glide over the bar as gracefully as birds; but he shuddered whenever a student crashed into the bar. The fall of 1931 found ' excited athletes preparing for the Olympic Games; and they were already thinking about severe training. Jim felt his heart sink, for the Olympics had once been his ambition also. One morning, a week after school began, he strolled through the gym and looked longingly at the bars and rings. Could his flabby shoulder muscles bear the rigor of gym stunts? With the eagerness of a child, Jim seized tlie bar between his palms and groaned sheepishly as he raised his body into the air. For an hour or more, he went throught the almost forgotten exercises he had once daily perfoi ' med to strengthen his back, arm, and shoulder muscles for the terrific strain of the lift over the vaulting bar. Each morning, this youth stole to the gym and faithfully built up those slack muscles until he felt his ribs had expanded, his shoulders broadened, and his spine straightened. Early in spring, the youngster joined the sprinters in their brisk jaunts to limber up leg muscles and increase their lung capacity. Finally. Jim felt in perfect condition. When the field was unoccupied, the youth walked determinedly across the track and picked up an unused pole with trembling hands. Queerly enough, the old fear did not envelop him, and Jim managed to bring himself over nine feet easily, although a little awkwardly. Again and again he aston- ished himself by leaping more gracefully each time; and when he stopped, he had reached the eleven foot mark. His confidence renewed, Jim practiced with zeal, and entered into collegiate- competition, delighting his coach when he set a university record of 14 feet and one half inches. Boy, you are right on the heels of the world record, which is only one inch higher than yours. The Coliseum was filled with frenzied spectators to the top-most tier, and a faultless blue canopy made a ceiling that only a California weather man could put up. Apollo had driven his fiery chariot across the skies that day, chasing every cloud before him, and was now reining in his prancing steeds above the stadium in order to watch the events below. Pole vaulting held all eyes at the present time. Thirteen feet eight inches had been reached by Jim and the lanky Norwegian, with and Englishman barely making it. The fight for supremacy had begun. Two inches higher found the blond Viking easily sailing over the bar, with the American youth following him; but after his third attempt, the Englishman was dis- qualified. Jim smiled at his single opponent, and received a broad grin in return. Another two inches was scored by the two men. When the world ' mark of fourteen feet one and one half inches was broken by the athlete from the northern land, Jim gasped. He was very careful about his pacing and landed successfully upon the sawdust. The boy looked with awe upon the well built form of the tall foreigner, for here was a foe with whom to reckon. Another half an inch, and the American landed a little dizzily this time. He stared stupidly at the man from Norway who seemed little concerned about the height. Fourteen four inches was missed by both of them, but the blond athlete just managed to clear the stick on the second try. Tne Californian left the bar, shaking tremulously on his second attempt. The world record already was shat- tered. With great excitement the people stood up to view this marvelous contest. 123 Even the other athletes surrounded the vaulting pit. Very carefully, the bar was raised to the unbelievable height of fourteen feet six inches. The Norwegian crashed through the bar miserably on the iirst run; Jim did likewise. The second trial found the blond giant doing a little better but still bring- ing the strip down with him. The American drew a deep breath before following him; and as his body swung into the air a bit too jerkily, the boy felt a sickening pang in his stomach as he heard the bamboo splinter under the strain. Before he was half way up. he fell. Trembling, Jim passed a shaking hand across his dripping forehead as he felt that old fear come suddenly over him. As if dazed, lie w ' atched the Scandinavian pace off his steps, and with every ounce of strength hurl himself into space. With the grace of a bird he sailed over, leaving the stick rocking crazily. Breathlessly, the crowd watched the bar bounce up and down and then glide down the upright poles disappointingly. With a shrug, the vaulter picked himself up, brushed the sawdust off his body and took his place to watch the American ' s last attempt. Jim horrified, gazed about him. He couldn ' t jump again. It was impossible to make that height. If the Norwegian couldn ' t hurl himself over the bar, it was certain he could not. With heavy feet, the boy stumbled back into position, dragging a long pole after him. He stood facing the high strip and clenched his fists nervously. His thoughts reviewed the past years when his friends and enemies alike had hissed at him, Coward! A coward! He was afraid! No! No! He could not, would not, face that bombardment of hateful words again. Sheer will-power gathered the boy ' s scattered nerves, and he balanced the bamboo pole carefully. Drawing a deep breath, Jim shut his mouth grimly, and began to pace, counting each step with precision until his stride developed into a swift sprint. At the right moment, the pole ' s tip burrowed into the ground; and the boy put every bit of power he had into the leap. The hard muscles bunched about his shoulders and back; the sinews corded on his arms as his lithe body caught altitude and slid easily over the bar. Landing in a sitting position, the American darted one swift look at the shivering stick. When it remained, a nuge smile of satisfaction and relief spread across his face, erasing the worried look, and banishing the fear from his eyes. He had made a new world record! One word he would hear no more — ' Coward! LOIS MIETOFF, A12 Amid the blaring of a trumpet blast Is born this modern child of ancient Greece Who comes with all the glories of the past To mold a man of brother-love and peace; A muscled, mighty, flawless man. With speed and grace of gulls that glide Upon the blue and cloudless fan That bounds the world on every side; A youth of perfect god-like form. With strength of Zeus ' s regal arm That hurls the bolt in winter storm. That shields the world from every harm; The wisest man — oh, worldly wise. With knowledge of a thousand things. Who wills to win the highest prize. The olive-crown of hero-kings; A mighty man, a perfect man. An Hercules with mother-soul. To join the greatest, only clan. To strive to reach the peaceful goal. Unto the world, of pure and holy breed Is born this modern Child of ancient Greece. A Child who favors neither race nor creed. But seeks to fill tlie land with love and peace. DOUGLAS SLY 124 Tlhe 1932 CoelfHiuieee© of Olymmpi© Aitlhleites Honorable Mention — • ' Senior A Contest As the ancient Olympic Games brouglit togetlier tlie atliletes of tiie known Med- iterranean world, so the modern Olympics draw contestants from the tour corners of the globe. All the lanes of ocean travel will see them coming, this July, from Europe, Africa and the Orient. Los Angeles, eager hostess, is determined to make the Games of the Tenth Olympiad outstanding alike in the annals of sport and international relations. Achievement of this purpose requires the assurance of large attendance of competitors from the 56 countries in the Olympic federation, despite world-wide depression. More than that, the experience must be made agreeably memorable for these thousands of valiant visitors. Each aspirant tor the symbolic laurel wreath will be, in a sense, a guest of Los Angeles from, the moment he leaves home until the hour of his return. Problems of extreme difficulty, thus presented, have required for their solution remarkable foresight and preparation by the Los Angeles Olympic Games Committee. Even in normal times, the transportation of athletes such long distances would be burdensome, financially, for the sportsmen of the countries they represent. Many Europeans felt that it would be impossible, this year, to send representative delega- tions. Long ago, the athletes bound for the plains of Olympia may have trudged on their own feet to the scene of the contests; modern gladiators must take expensive train and steamer journeys. Los Angeles realized that they would not be able to come here unless extraordinary arrangements were made tor economical transportation and for housing while here. To understand how these complicated problems of transportation were met would require lengthy explanation from the fertile brain of Mr. Zack Farmer, general manager of the great enterprise. There were conferences innumerable, with railroad executives, steamship officials, men high in government. All these led up to the moment when William May Garland, speaking for Los Angeles, electrified the recent World Olympic Congress in Berlin with an outline of the completed arrangements. Europe had ' anticipated and dreaded a cost of $1500 per man for the expenses of participation in the games. Unnecessary, Mr. Garland remarked to the members of this congress. Steamer and railroad rates had been slashed for their benefit, as never before. A whole new Olympic village was rising in Los Angeles to give the athletes a perfect temporary home while here. The entire expense, per man, had shrunk from $1500 to $500, including all necessary costs for the complete round trip. Surprised applause greeted Mr. Garland ' s announcement; then, enthusiastic pledges were made, in quick succession, from spokesmen for one country after another, that each would send here a large group of outstanding athletes. Low cost was only part of the Los Angeles problem, however, as Mr. Farmer saw it. Petty annoyances and delays usually experienced by visitors from abroad must be avoided; the concourse of athletes must be made smooth and ' agreeable. More conferences were held, to cut the red tape of immigration restrictions, to eliminate passport fees and customs duties. Special permits were arranged for the athletes and their baggage, their horses and other equipment. Again Mr. Farmer met the emergency which concerned the daily training and diet which are essential to an athlete on the eve of a contest. Arrangements were perfected to provide for these needs. Each group of men will travel in exclusive quarters, usually on a ship of their own country, with ample provision for training on board. The French will be on the He de France; the Germans, on the Bremen; the men from Scandinavian countries, on one of their fast liners. Each group will have its own chef to prepare the characteristic and familiar foods. Landing at some Atlantic port, the athletes will board trans-continental trains on which similar pro- vision has been made with special kitchens and dining cars as desired. Short stops, en route to Los Angeles, will permit daily outdoor exercise. Finally, when they arrive- here, the men will continue their training under ideal conditions: each group will be in its own section of the Olympic village; each, with its own chef. The village, growing like magic, comprises lumdreds of bungalows, simply and comfortably fur- nished, with all conveniences. Only when the games are over, can we know the full success of all these elaborate arrangements made to insure and to facilitate the great concourse of Olym- pic athletes of 1932. We have every reason to believe that, win or lose in the Olym- pic events, the visitors will go home with a lasting feeling of good will tor the city and the country which entertained them. Surely, this will be a real contribution to the cause of world peace and brotherhood, in the spirit of the Modern Olympic Games, intended to promote friendly competition and unders tanding between the races of mankind. COLVER R. BRIGGS Business manager 125 Geoiri© Waslhmitoe— =T]h© Ideal Honorahle Mention — Senior A Contest What could be more fitting than that the World Olympic Games be celebrated In America simultaneously with the bicentennial observation of the birth of George Washington? Materially, perhaps, the events are separated by the impenetrable gulf of two long centuries; yet we can but feel the kindredship between this man and the hopes and ideals which attend the Olympics, for throughout his entire lite, Washington unconsciously obeyed the precepts which the modern Olympian claims as his own. Courage, honor, patriotism, self-reliance! These we ask of the athletes who carry our colors in the quadrennial competition for international athletic honors. Wash- ington was possessed of them all. Strong, vigorous bodies, capable of performing the tasks we set them! Tnese we demand of the chosen few who strive for us on the athletic field. Physically, Washington, who has been described as a superb athlete, equipped for every ordeal which life might cause him to face, could compare with any of these. Standing six feet, two inches tall, broad of shoulder and slim of waist, he was the picture of physical prowess. Then, love of sports, and proficiency in their performance. It is but natural that our Olympic competitors possess these traits; Washington knew them throughout his life. Imbued from childhood with a strong love of sports and the desire to play every game to win. he loved games, and ex- celled in many; in vaulting, running, jumping, pitching quoits, throwing the bar, and in horsemanship, his manly, courageous sportsmanship led him ever higher, farther and faster than his companions. Leadership, endurance, self-sacrifice! These are qualities which mean everything to the OlympjSn of today. Leadership is price- less to him: endurance he must have, and self crifice is essential, tor he must ever place country and honor before self. Perhaps it was these qualities above all others which made Washington the man whom history has enshrined. His lead- ership cannot be questioned. It was this which enabled him to transform his group of rough, untrained militia into a well organized, victorious army, an army which followed him unwaiveringly, unqueationingly and loyally through all the hardships of the Revolutionary War. His endurance is no more to be questioned. This it was which carried him through Valley Forge where another might have weakened; which stood by him throughout his life, never failing him in his hour of need ' . Who can doubt the nobility of his self-sacrifice? The greater part of his life was devoted to the service of his country. Even when his heart cried out to spend the remainder of his life on his beloved plantation, his personal wishes were forgotten when he found that Am erica had further need of him. Courage, patriotism, self-reliance, physical prowess, leadership, endurance and self-sacrifice. These, are the traits which make the Olympian a model of splendid and glorious youth which all the world may follow; these were the traits which molded the character of the foremost man in the history of the United States. With- out them, Washington might have been merely one plantation owner among many: with them he surmounted situations as grave as any man could face, went death- less and unconquered through the horrors of the Revolution, and fulfilled success- fully the greatest task which the people of young America had ever bestowed upon any man, the first presidency. The unseverable bond which binds Washington and the Olympic Games does not stop with physical and mental qualities, however, for never did he waver from the ideals which seem to make the modern Olympics a living embodiment of his doctrines, despite the fact that when he was born two hundred years ago, the Olympic Games were but dusty, historical memories. Not until long after his death was a revival of the Games even thought of; yet who will say that had the revival occurred during his lifetime, he would not have been the staunchest supporter of its inter- national aspect and its ideal of world friendship. No more concrete proof of this supposition could be given than to quote from his own immortal Farewell Address, .a goodly part of which was devoted to the discussion of international relations. While discouraging all political connections, he states repeatedly that just, amicable feel- ings should be cultivated, and recommends harmony and liberal intercourse be- tween nations. Harmony and liberal intercourse between nations! Certainly there could be no better way of describing these Olympic Games which quadrennially draw .the nations of the earth into a closer, truer and more lasting bond of friendship. BETTY BENNETT Literary editor 126 Mars Meets His Mateh Ilonorahlc Mention — Senior A Contest Mars, the war god. with all his weapons and all his woe, will eventually be pushed from this earth, not because of disarmament leagues, not because of treaty and pact, and not because of pacificatory propaganda, but because of the Olympic Games. How can this warlord be banished through the medium of these games, founded with not a thought of eternal peace? How can these games, which were created by tlie ancient Greeks to perfect their men, and recreated by a Frenchman, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, in 1896 so that a modern civilization might also produce high athletic types, prevent war? Let us compare modern and ancient war that we may eventually prove that the Olympic Games will prevent martial strife. Medieval war was a game. Perhaps it resulted in death to its players, but it was nevertheless a game. Each contestant was dressed in gleaming armor and adorned with the brightest of ribbons. Men, despite their warlike spirit, were always eager after the heat of battle for a warm hearth Are. These battles were fierce, of course; but skill and strength comprised the struts of victory. The struts of victory in the modern brutal war are men and money. The country with the most cannon fodder will usually win, provided it has the most money for armaments with which to do away with enemy cannon fodder. In this modern war, no one is seen in hand to hand combat. It is mass production of death. Mankind is tiring of this useless slaughter of humanity. Even the home coming prehistoric man prayed to his gods for peace when he found his home ruined and his family dead. Nevertheless, he went out the next day and did to his guilty neighbor what the latter had done to him. This retaliation continued until he and his children ' s chil- dren had been sacrificed to the bloodthirsty felid. Men did not exectly know what they wanted in regard to world peace until Christ put the feeling of the people into His doctrine. But now man knows just what he wants; he does not quite know how to get It. The boys and young men who are to participate in the Olympic Games of 1932 are solving this problem presented by the eternal conflict which is sapping the world of most of its best manhood. Greed, racial prejudice, and martial feeling will disappear in time because of the Olympic Games. Let us consider these three main causes of war, and how each will be eradicated by these games, remembering that as man acts, so finally does his nation. First, the archangel of Mars, Greed, will be supplanted by that Olympic born spirit, Sportsmanship. More wars have been caused ' by greed than any other factor. A nation sees some desirable territory, and eager to expand, annexes the region. The result is war. Is it possible for a miler in a race to be taken so by greed for victory that he sacrifices sportsmanship to win? No, the spirit of the games prevents avariciousness. ' What this spirit will do for man, it will do for his country. Prejudice as a cause of war, will be stamped out in the Olympiads to come. A few years ago, a colored boy and a white youth were the leading contestants in a hundred meter run. Kneeling at the start of the race, the colored lad noticed that the white boy ' s shoe lace was untied. Seeing that a serious accident could occur and also realizing that he could win by keeping silent, the boy hesitated not a second. He halted the starter and called attention to the oversight; this proved his undoing; the white boy was victorious. When the youth of today can so sacrifice victory which it dearly loves for the ideal of sportsmanship, and in spite of pseudo-race prejudice, our successors need have little fear of dreadful wars. The successive waves of militarism, which encircle the earth periodically, will soon be supplanted by a feeling of high regard for athletic training and development. People are much more interested in Ben Eastman and his 440 record than they are in the Chinese-Japanese war. The average parent would greatly prefer an Eastman for a son than a Napoleon. The war of the future will be one of lite and vitality, of athletics, rather than one of death and destruction. Then because of the Olympic Games, the earthly domination of the evil Mars is coming to an end. These games are instilling in the hearts of the people of today a feeling that athletics should take the place of militarism, and it is only a matter of a few more Olympiads before world peace will be a reality. And when the cry is heard, Mars is dead, to the Olympic Games shall be due everlasting praise. JACK STANLEY, A12 127 Tlh© Miuietiress Photo by Adelbert Bartlett Modern Diana, nobly inspired, aims at goals of achievement. y6c y( l _ _ I Tlh© Modeire Olymmpies =— A Boed of World Frieedslhip When the Olympic Games are celebrated in Los Angeles this summer, approxi- mately fifty nations will be represented in some or all of the sixteen events. Teams will come from Africa. India, and the Orient to compete against western athletes; large sums of money will be expended, and the contests will receive wide publicity. The world will acknowledge its interest in the games, and citizens of all countries will look (or even more constructive results from this huge international understanding, than were affected in recent games. In the Ninth Olympiad, celebrated in 1928 at Amsterdam, twenty nations of the forty-seven present carried off first places. Although the United States won the Ninth Olympiad, as it has every other since their modern inception, athletes from remote countries of the world caused American boys to look foolish in some of the events. An Irish youth won the sixteen pound hammer throw. Uruguay ranked first in As- sociation football with Argentina. Italy, and Spain placing next in the order men- tioned. An American boy finished fifth to El Ouafi. an Algerian, and a Chilean. a Fin, and a Japanese in the marathon. And so it goes; a list of the winners reads like a roll call of the nations. The unexpected victories of some unheralded athlete must have proved living contradictions to ideas of racial superiority entertained by many of the contestants. As we look back through history to the third or fourth century B. C, we find a religious and athletic festival, known as the Olympic Games, celebrated every fourth year or Olympiad. Because the classical Greeks had such a high regard for festi- vals which developed physical perfection and mental sanity, they ordained that on the occasion of the celebration of the Olympic Games, all warfare and robbery should cease for one month. In (act, the only appreciable co-operation between Greek city- states seems to have been brought about by the Olympic Games; on no other occasion except when menaced by a common enemy, did these self-contained city-states achieve; co-operative action. As the games passed into Roman hands, their high ideals were replaced by corrupt practices; their fine athletes, by brutal gladiators. From the inspiration for national peace, the games became peace offerings from a cruel emperor to a lazy mob. Roman captives were forced to combat beasts, and the inspiring games de- generated into brutal, revolting struggles. Through the dark ages, such celebrations were replaced by knightly tournaments. and jousts. However, in 1893 a Frenchman, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, advanced the suggestion of a renewal of the Olympic Games both in order to build up the French nation physically after the ravaging effects of the Franco-Prussian War and to benefit the cause of world peace through the fellowship o( athletics. In advocating the international contests. Baron de Coubertin said, Let us export our oarsmen, our runners, our (encers into other lands. That is the true free trade of the future; and the day it is introduced into Europe the cause of peace will have received a new strong ally. Today, we strive to estimate the true worth of the Olympic Games. If we be clear-sighted, we may recognize the accumulative character of the results of the festivals. The gain in partially freeing one generation from prejudices and un- founded notions of racial superiority through international athletic competition may be slight, but this gain is transmitted in some degree to the next generation. If those who are skeptical of the value of the games in establishing world friendship might but look into the future, they could see a generation of citizens who will have received the accumulative effect of true international friendships formed through these splendid Olympic Games. They could see a generation wliich will have prof- ited by the lessons of past and present generations, a group of men and women in whom the benefits of the Olympic Games will have become easily apparent- Their increased open-mindedness will be true testimony to the effect of such inter- national contests. Let us then be whole-hearted in our support of the Modern Olympic Games. Let us be far-sighted enough to see their benefits to future generations; let us not overlook their very definite effect on us. Perhaps the international comradeship o( sport will aid in solving the present difllculties in the Orient. Undoubtedly, the Olym- pic Games are a growing force in establishing the bond of world friendship which w know to be so necessary to peace between nations, RICHARD JOHNSTON, A12 129 Tlh© Me Olyinmpie Ideal For months, nations have been training their best men, but not for war; con- ventions have been conducted by groups composed of the world ' s best minds, but not for politics; committees and sub-committees have been working all over the world separately and jointly, but not for business; great construction has been pro- gressing at our doors which is not for fortification. All this has been because, 2708 years ago, in a country which covers less than two thousandths per cent of the world ' s area, a program of games originated tor the shades of the dead. The wonder of such a survival, however, is not great. Institutions of value do not soon pass. These ancient funeral celebrations which later developed into the Olympics proved their worth as a solidifler of international friendship even in the ancient days. They were begun during the Homeric age, and their popularity grew so that the month of July of the first year of every Olympiad was set aside for their celebration. Dur- ing this time, all hostilities between the numerous city states ceased; and even in an age when strife was paramount, peace ruled over Hellas. As the games grew, the sacred precinct of Olympia became the center of activity, and competitors from all Greece, Asia Minor, and the Greek colonies attended. Even foreign countries were represented, and never was there a time when the Hellenic world was so united. The selection of Los Angeles as the spot for the Olympics seems symbolical of the peace which may result through the meeting of nations in congenial competition. The trek of mankind has ever been westward. After the civilizations of Persia, Egypt, As- syria, and Babylon each had flourished, came Greece. From there, the civilization passed westward to Rome, then to western Europe in Spain and ' France, and ever westward to England. Then came Columbus and those who followed after, pushing toward the sunset, across the Mississppi, the Rockies, and to the end of the trail, the shores of the Pacific. To this great district, pilgrims of all nations have gathered during the past decades. The Olympics on this soil will be something more than a beautiful ideal in which representatives of nations which perhaps have been hostile unite themselves in a friendship which spreads throughout the world. The Olym- pics in Los Angeles will be more than the fulfillment of a misty ideal, because it is not a place where nationalities will meet for a few days to cheer and be cheered, and then to part ways. Here the cross-roads of the nations meet in truth. Here nationalities are ever in contact, but untested prejudices inherited from mother lands still tend to retain undignified sobriquets of race. English dukes have averred that international bonds are strengthened and war wounds healed most quickly by con- tact in sport. If malice of war bows so readily before athletic competition, how much sooner will fall the less tangible prejudices of times germane to our section; and when these shackles shall drop, their echoes will sound to the far corners of the earth. Here the common tie of healthful athletics can become the melting pot of friend- liness as it was in ancient Hellas. Here, also, are the same salt-tanged sea air and exhilarating temperatures conducive to clear thinking and complete body develop- ment which prevailed in ancient Greece. The bond that the Olympics create through the meeting of athletes, the conferences of the statesmen of the world which pre- cede the Games and the actual Games and their ceremonies when the Olympic flag floats supreme over all, will forever serve to make the modern Olympics a funeral celebration as were the ancient ones, the celebration of the death of War. ALVERDA LERRIGO, A12 Olyimpi© Atlilet© Olympic Athlete ! Stand by your country ' s flag, When breath is short, and you can hardly drag Each leaden step, then for your country ' s sake Fight on until the last, until you make One final spurt, and stagger ' cross the line, And think, I did this for that land of mine. If you lose, Olympic Athlete, though you try With straining heart and lungs, and tear-dimmed eye. If you have done your best, feel not ashamed. For you were honest, and will not be blamed; But if you win, and make vainglorious boast. Then the flag you fought for, indeed has lost. RUTH JAFFA 130 Tlh© OlyiMpi© Gaimes Honorable Mention Great Zeus sat upon his throne, his head bowed in dejection. These mortals whom I placed on earth are showing great detection. They take no time for happy play; ' gainst friendship raise the bars, when they pray to high Olympus, they only call for Mai-s. If we would save their silly world from utter desolation, we must create ambitions new to interest each nation. Their souls are steeped in com- bat, tor battle they are rite. We ' ll start a competition which will cause no loss of life! They will battle all together, to attain supremacy; but the winner and the loser both will share the ecstasy; and instead of hate and rancor and the Slough of Great Despond, they will all be held together by the great Olympic Bond. Zeus called unto him Hermes, who could travel fast as light; and he gave to him a message to be carried through the night. Call these mortals all together, and tell them in our names, that We in Our great wisdom have decreed Olympic Games, where, in friendly com- petition, they may strive in all their might, and yet find nought but happiness when they end their fight. Tell them too, in our names, they need hold no thought dis- tressing, for each warrior in this fight will have our godly blessing. To the West and to the East, and to the South and North, Hermes carried these glad tidings; and the fruit therof burst forth. Warriors stripped their panoplies, hid their swords and bows, ottering the hand of friendship to their former foes. Still each strove to best the other, strove with all his might; but they found the bond of friendship all the firmer for the fight, and the Gods in high Olympus drank their nectar smilingly, for they knew the world was happy, and from war would soon be free. Then they turned to Mars, the War God, who had revelled oft in gore; and he swore by high Olympus it was better than before. So thru the years the Games went on; and it may interest you to know they are in America in nineteen thirty-two. DORTS LANDFIELD.

Our debating squad, under the direction of Mr. I. D. Perry and Mr. F. Murry Keslar. has acquired a renown probably unsurpassed in all of Southern California. We are fortunate, this year, in the return of many excellent debaters who participated in last semester ' s conflicts. Among these are Edward Boyd, Arthur Gro- man, Stella Wilhelm, Monroe Rubin, Barbara Finley, Emma Berg, Philip Schacknove, Gordon Howdon, Tillie Boynoff, and Henry Lowenstine. Moreover, this squad Is en- couraged to find many new debaters who have been able to serve their school during the remainder of this term or in the next semester. In the Southern California League, Los Angeles High School began the semester with one victory to our credit, that over Franklin High School. We were again victorious, this time over Bakersfield when Edward Boyd and Arthur Groman affirmed the proposition That a uniform code of marriage and divorce be adopted by the several states. In the same round, Philip Shacknove and Gordon Howden debated Citrus Union High upon the question of the centralized control of industry. On the third round in the Southern California League, Los Angeles High finished in a three way tie for the championship with Hollywood and Long Beach. For the semi-flnals, we paired with Long Beach and agreed upon the proposition That swift, severe, and certain punishment is the most practical solution of crime problems. In this debate, we ehose as our representatives, Stella Wilhelm and Arthur Groman. A considerable group has been working on the unemployment insurance question in anticipation of entrance into the Redlands Inter-scholastic Debating Contest and a dual debate with Belmont upon the subject. Other debaters have studied upon the question of centralized control of industry in preparation for debates with Los Angeles Junior College and freshmen from the University of Southern California. Several debates are expected with San Pedro and Venice. The debating squad has had a very successful term under the excellent direction of its coaches. v5 ' vJ J C • r? _£l--tf_ti ' :K • Edith ilSei EmriaBerg Richard Drukker BarbaraVtnley Gordon Howden, Raymond Jaffe Monroe Rubin Philip Shacknove Edward Boyd Arthur Groman Henry Lowenatein Fred Vogel Titlie BoynofS Wilmer Hammond Sidney Morhar Stella WUhelm Hi S  z.

' s points were won chiefly by B and C athletes. The Parrots took first place in both four man 440 and eight man mile. The record for the 440 was lowered to 42:8 seconds. In this event, Jefferson was second; Fairfax third and L. A. fourth. The eight man mile was run in 3:01.3; Jefferson placed second, and L. A. third. The Romans showed more strength in the field events. Busby heaved the shot 49 feet 9 inches, Austin of Hollywood won the pole vault at 12 feet 1 inch, and Crotts tied with three others for fourth place. Manual broke the distance med- ley record of 9:03.3 by running it in 8:58.4. The good sliowings of the B and C teams were encouraging as they will help in the building of track squads in the future. Ao Ao U. The L. A. team ran a beautiful race to win the Long Beach relay for the first time in years. De Witt, Pike, Ford, and Gilmore represented Rome. During the first three stages of the relay, our boys were behind. Gilmore ran one of his best races to show the other schools that You can ' t beat L. A. High.

The discouraging factor was that Hollywood won each of the track events. However, the times were quite fast, especially the 100 yai-d dash which was won by Coverly in 10 flat. The boys from L. A. High, however, came through in fine fashion in the field events. Marvin Busby set a new school record for the shot put with a heave of 49 feet 8 inches. Jack Crotts performed well in the pole vault by clearing 12 feet. As usual. Corny Johnson won the high jump. In this meet, he was not pressed a bit and only had to make 6 feet. The 440 and 880 yard dashes were exceptionally fine races with the Roman runners, Hoffman and Gilmore, barely losing out. 100 yard dash— 1. Coverly (H), 2. Creal (H), 3. Herbelin (L.A.).

Gilmore did well to stay as close to Rout as he did. Busby put the shot out over 49 feet, to prove that he will be in the running when he meets Duvalle again. In the high jump, Corny Johnson easily jumped 5 feet 10 inches, to win that event. Wade Willey and Gene Koch each came through in their respective events, winning in fine times. Finally, as the score was 50 to 49, the meet depended upon the relay. In tliis event L. A. was outclassed by an inspired Jefferson eight. 100 yard dash— 1. O ' Neil (J), 2. Jackson (J), 3.

Poly was strong in almost every event. Sefton. Poly ' s stellar pole vaulter. cleared 13 feet tc establish a new Poly — L. A. meet record. Greding and Crotts put up a real fight. Gilmore and Waldthausen won the SSO and mile without much trouble. Scrivner did exceptionally well to beat Girazian of Poly. Johnson. Houghten. and Stoeffen made- a clean sweep of the high jump. Busby easily won the weight event. Two accidents marred L. A. s hopes; Koch stumbled on the first hurdle; and Williams fell when about to overtake a Poly man in the relay.

In spite of the slight rain, many loyal Romans turned out to see a decisive victory. Isett came through in the 220 to take a first. Clean sweeps were made by Hoffman, Davis and Kanne in the 440; in the mile by Frisbie. Waldhausen and Wagner; in the 220 lows by Willey, Boslar and Eisinger; and in the shot put by Busby, Polkinghorn and Murphy. As usual, Johnson, Greding, Crotts and Busby gave good performances.

Final score: Los Angeles. 91 — Roosevelt, 13 The City League Meet, in which two records were broken, was won by Hollywooi High. Jolinson of L. A. cleared 6 feet, three and one sixteenth Inches, closely missing the world interscholastic high school record of 6 feet four and one half inches. Sefton of Poly cleared the bar at 13 feet 5 and one quarter inches, to set a new world ' s prep- school record in the pole vault. He also shattered the city record of 12 feet 7 inches. Hollywood ' s athletes came through in fine style, upsetting the dope in almost every event. Nimmo neared the mile record with his time of 4 minutes 32 and eight tenths seconds. Jefforson did well, placing three men in the broad jump. Manual Arts won the class B championship, nosing out L. A. by 38 and cue- half points to 3.5 and one half points. Herbelin, Jacobson, Ferguson and Hitt did especi- ally well in the meet. Greding nearly broke the city pole vault record when he tied for first at 11 feet 5 and one fourth inches. With the relay yet to run, L. A. or Manual could win the meet. The Romans led the field, but lost out on the next to last baton exchange. The class C championship was not decided as the L. A. team was not informed, of the field event finals held at Belmont. Final scores: CLASS A Hollywood — iV z Polytechnic— 39 y2 Jefferson — 34 Manual Arts — 19% Los Angeles — 15 Fairfax — 6 Lincoln — 5 Fremont — 4% Garfield— 41 2 Belmont — 4 Roosevelt — 4 Franklin — CLASS B Manual Arts — 38% Los Angeles — 35% Jefferson — 16% Polytechnic — 15 Garfield— 14 Fairfax— 13 Belmont — 11 Fremont — 6% Hollywood — 5 Lincoln — 4 Franklin — 4 Roosevelt — 2 f Class B Track if ' . 0 The Roman B squad ' had a very successful season under the fine coaching Mr. La Brucherie. Superior material from the 1931 championship C team formed., the nucleus of this strong squad. Rarely was it necessary for the Bees to use their entire strength. Franklin, Belmont. Jefferson, Hollywood, Poly, and Roosevelt were decisively beaten; thus they gave us the mythical Dual Championship of the City League. L. A. was fortunate to have fast track men combined with reliable field event performers. Knapp, Kaufman, Cohn. Grant, and Ferguson did well in the 100, usually running under 10.7 seconds. The 220 men were Knapp, Kaufman, Cohn, and Perluss. Both Knapp and Kaufman were sure to place. The 120 low hurdles had capable per- formers in Jacobson, Hunt, Hurst, Keefer, and Ohno. Their time was close to 14:3 seconds. Jacobson ' s best time for the 70 yard high hurdles was 9.6 second ' s. This event was strengthened by Hurst, Hitt, Mattice, and Knecht. Coach La Brucherie could count on many points from his fine hurdlers. The distance men worked hard, inspired by Coach Philo Chambers. First place in the 660 was closely contested by Levoy and Edelman while Schwartz, Gob, and Clark were not far behind. Levoy and Edelman developed rapidly as the season pro- gressed. Todd, Luchsinger, Anderson, and Hagopian ran a better than average 1320. Todd, with his Cross Country experience, was very consistent. L. A. H. S. garnered many clean sweeps in the field events; Hitt, Pfleffer, Calder, and Knecht accounted for many points in the high jump. Hitt ' s best was 5 feet 9 and one half inches. As this record was made in early season. Bob is probably capable of soaring higher. Another of L. A. ' s strong events was the broad jump. Hunt, Hitt and Broder formed ' a strong trio. Grant and Daniels were also consistent. Hunt often jumped over 20 feet. In the shot put, Ferguson, Schwartz. Trusel, Paluziau, Franklin. Louis, and ' Farrow won many points. The fast relay team was composed of Knapp, Kaufman, Ferguson, and Jacobson. They excelled any other B relay team in the city. With so many returning stars of the championship squad, Rome should once again be able to regain varsity supremacy of the City League. The future B team is also assured excellent material from the fine C squad.

Coach Bert La Brucherie formed an invincible team out of a small but enthusiastic group. This flashy team ran rough shod over Belmont, Franklin, Hollywood, Poly, and Roosevelt. Every meet was won by a comparatively large score. In the 660, Warren and Schirisoii, under the coaching o£ Mr. Philo Chambers, developed rapidly. Warren was one of the leading 660 men in the city. Yamazaki and Gold could always be depended upon to be close to the leaders. The dashes were strongly fortified by Bastanchury. Chuman, Kaneko, Ruben. Katz, Greenbaum. and Keslar. Well could Rome depend on Masuoka, Bohllng, Smith, and Chuman, in the 120 yard low hurdles. They consistently hit 15:2 seconds. The shot put, an event in which we were considered to be weak, was handled in a very satisfactory degree by Murayama and HoUe, two of the best putters in the city. Keslar was strong here too. In the pole vault, Doubledee, Yata, and Oba were always up and coming. Smith, Doubledee, Katz, and Masuoka usually broad jumped over the eighteen foot mark. In the high jump, Bastanchury and Briggs rose to heights of five teet; and a bit higher still went Bastanchury. The team was well managed by Don Trees. With the closing of such a successful season, L. A. can truly be proud of its C track team, which as in the past, has made it possible for city championships to continue coming to the old pioneer school. Los Angeles, 71 — Franklin, S Los Angeles, 59 — Belmont, 18 Los Angeles, 67 — Hollywood, 10 Los Angeles, 51 2-3 — Poly, 25 1-3 Los Angeles, 43 — Roosevelt, 34 BASEBALL §aty Mas The season of Summer ' 32 marks tlie thirteenth year (or Mr. Herbert White as baseball coach at L. A. During these many years, he has put seven teams on the field that have won the league championship and one that tied with two other schools; this latter was the team of Summer ' 31. This year, the chances tor another champion- ship team are favorable. If the penant should come our way, L. A. High will have won three successive championships for the second time. As yet no other school in Los Angeles has won more than two championships at any time. This year, with four retui-ning lettermen. Captain Bill Hinscbe, Lloyd Duncan, Nelson Cullenward, and Wade Willey, Coach White is endeavoring to produce a team that is as good or perhaps better than the former teams. So far, this team has won a majority of its practice games from such teams as Santa Monica, Inglewood, Harvard, Beverly Hills, Cathedral, Banning, Washington, Jacob Riis, and the U. S. C. Frosh. The team was very well managed by Dick Geer and Gayle Foley. Mr. White was especially appreciative of the extra burden placed upon the managers because of his late injury; he always found their work courteous, efficient, and timely. Fred Cruse is coaching this year ' s second team and thus far seems to have one of championship caliber. Last year, Fred was the catcher on the championship var- sity team. Dick Palmatary was an efficient manager. Harold Stevens, last year ' s cham.pionship second team captain, is in charge of the tenth grade baseball team and is progressing in a big way. He has a squad of large undergraders who, with proper pitching talent, should go places. Many candi- dates give promise of being future stars. Dale Reynolds was the able and ever- present manager. Baseball Roster CAPTAIN BILL HINSCHE— Shortstop Bill started his baseball career as a tenth grader and then played a fine brand of ball on the varsity last season. He is a good batter and a wonderful defensive man. Bill will certainly be missed next year. LLOiD DUNCAN— Outfielder After fininshing a brilliant season last year. Bud is returning to bis old form in pasting the apple. He is the leading outfielder and one of the most dependable members of the team. NELSON CULLENWARD— First baseman Cully has had to work hard this year, but is rounding into shape. He is a con- sistent fielder and had the highest batting average for the team last year. This is Nelson ' s last year on the team. WADE WILLEY— Outfielder Wade has proven to be a fine outfielder. His speed has been a help to him. He is gradually beginning to hit the ball on the line. This is his second year on the varsity. HARRY SWETT— Pitcher Periclean Harry pitched for the second team last year. He has improved vastly this year. He has good control and is a good batter. He upholds the Roman tradition of having a clever performer in the pitcher ' s box. HOLMES ELLIS — Second baseman Coming from last year ' s championship second team. Rube has developed Into a good fielder. He is the most consistent batter on the team. He contributes a great deal of speed and real baseball enthusiasm toward the success of the team. ROBERT GROVE— Catcher Truck is another letterman from last year ' s second team. He takes good care of the position behind the plate. He is a good judge of opposing batter ' s weaknesses and handles himself well at the plate. JOHN BAIDA— Outfielder Johnny played on the championship tenth grade team last year, and since then has become one of Mr. White ' s proteges. He is a consistent hitter and displays a considerable amount of L. A. pep. He will be useful again next year. OVAG MALJAN— Third baseman Turk, who had a very good season last year with the second team, is back on the job holding down the hot corner. His eye is being developed. He will not return next year. WILLIE HOLDSTOCK— Outfielder Bing is also one of the players from last year ' s tenth grade team who made good this year with the big boys. He is an all around player. When it comes to interest and work, this boy is o. k. He has one more year of baseball. JOHN BONER— Pitcher Bones, one of last year ' s second team pitchers, Is sharing the mound duties with Harry Swett. Johnny has a fine curve and uses it to great advantage. He does not return. DON FERGUSON— Catcher Fergie is another member of last year ' s tenth grade team who is a success on the varsity this year. He takes care of the plate in fine fashion. He handles the pitchers well and keeps his mates on their toes at all times. HERSCHEL WHITLEY— Outfielder Whit is playing his last year in baseball for L. A. in the outfield. He is a good fly chaser and is able to take care of himself at the platter. KENNETH KIRKPATRICK— Third baseman Kirk is the fourth member of the last tenth grade team who Is making good on the varsity. He is a very consistent player, and much is to be expected from him this year and next. SIDNEY ROSIN— Second baseman Rosin was also on last year ' s second team. In spite of his size, he covers his ground well and is a good batter. He makes himself generally useful at second, third and short stop. DON MATTICE— Outfielder Barton also has had two years of good competition and is now making one good consistent drive on the varsity. He is a clever outfielder and is a good batter.

High lOtli grade baseball teams, this year ' s squad displayed a brand o£ winning ball. Such teams as Cathedral, Ingle- wood, Washington, Beverly Hills, Fairfax, Black Foxe, and American Legion teams, proved unequal to this smooth working unit. The fast infield combination in the form of Rife, first base; Cullenward, second base; Gondolfo, third base; and Nyulasse, short stop, executed many double plays and some skillful inflelding. The outfield was composed of hard hitting and fast fielding ball players. The flyhawks of the squad were: Harris, Haselbusch, Kreppel, Kuykendall, Pearce, and Synenberg. The team had three fine pitchers; Montoya, Mura, and Young as well as three splendid catchers in Lane, McWliinney, and Oerhlin. Briggs and Gattis were the utility inflelders. The enthusiasm and spirit of the entire team coached by Harold Pepper Stephens were always a prominent feature. This training will undoubtedly help in forming future L. A. High teams. MINOR SPORT! Piatt, Williams, Cady — manager, Davis, Ward, Vann. The Struggle for positions on our golf team tliis year has been great; and at TIG time until the entire qualifying rounds were over, were the boys assured of their positions. Bob Faliy, captain of the squad, led the try-outs with an average of 79. He made two brilliant rounds of 72 and 74. Bill Van was considered the steadiest man on the team. His consistency won for him the second position. Bill Williams, who held the third position, has also been known as a great football player. Conrad Piatt was conceded the longest hitter on the squad. His possibilities for the future lool? en- ■couraging. Joe Davis, of tennis tame, held down the fifth position. Quitty Ward was a capable alternate for the squad. Mr. Noble ' s personal interest in the squad proved to be a great asset. Bill Cady, a golfer himself, acted as manager. ■f ' - First row: Loew, Lemke, Fisher, Church, Crispen, Crespi, Byrne, Heacock, Daum, Nessamar, Adam. Hemsath, Gates — captain. Second row : Viaidt, Varalla, Kean, Loomis, Boyd. Sidebottom, Morale. Springer, Greding, Schweidel. Third row. Palmer, Erickson, Lynch, Lake, Eman, Reynolds. This year ' s gymnastic team lias excellent possibilities of capturing the league crown. Under the able leadership of Captain Gates, who was one ot our leading ath- letes, the team should go far toward perpetuating the previous consistent high stand- ards. The team showed fine early season form. As the meets were late, the results could not be sent to press. L. A. was well represented in almost every event: Gates and Greding, all-around; Morales. Adams, and Nessamar on the Rings; Church, Daum and Lemke, on the Horizontal Bar; Morales, Crispin and Palmer, on the Par- allel Bars; Byrne and Boyd, Side Horse; Crispin and Erickson, Indian Clubs; Loew and Reynolds. Rope Climb, and Keefer on the Mats. The iine supervision of Coach Happy Hemsath has been a real inspiration to all of the boys. The Gym Club was a feature of popular entertainment on various programs throughout the term.

Dwiiniiiinnim Team L. A. had a very powerful swimming team this year. In fact. Coach Crumley stated that excluding the 1930 team, It was the strongest he had coached while at L. A. The nucleus of this squad was composed of Captain Bob Bond in the 220 yard dash, Bob Fahy in the 100 yard backstroke, Dana Marble on the diving board, Paul Tibbens in the breast stroke, John Rounsevelle in the medley, Ralph Templar and Harold Bernson in the 440, and Bill BushneU in the sprints. Others, who were always out there helping to win were: Sid Braunstein in the breast stroke and medley; Bob Hoover, sprints; Lhamon, Lewis, Greding and Keeter, diving; Alan Peat and Mason Letteau, back stroke, and Kistler, Fitzgerald, Coles and Lake in the middle distances. Churley and Berson managed the teams. Mr. Crumly expected the team to be victorious In the City Meet, and predicted that Captain Bond would win the 220 in the Southern California Meet. The Cees were comparatively stronger than the other league teams and were favored to win all of their meets, and take the City Meet. Practically all of the boys have two more years, so L. A. is well prepared for the future. Tom Home, captain of the squad, competed in the breast stroke and the dives. Jack Johnson swam the back stroke; Lyle Thompson the sprints; and Fred Smith the 100. Art Feldman, Sid Levey, and Tom Heywood ' were general utility men and swam in the relay. With the advantage of our new pool, we are assured of good teams in the future that will bring more glory to L. A. High. Varsitty Water Polo This season, the beautiful new Oliver Pool was the practicing grounds tor the water polo team. Lack of practice in the fall months gave the team a poor start, but it rapidly became one that was feared by its opponents. Captain Johnnie Rounsevelle, Bill Bushnell, and Bob Bond formed an exceptionally strong forward wall. Rounsevelle and Bushnell led in the scoring. Herrick Lutkin, Ralph Templar, Bob Fahy, and Max Kistler occupied the guard positions. The alter- nates were Fitzgerald. Bernson. and Coles. Substitutes tor the forwards were Bob Hoover and Sid Brownstein. Jack Freedman, Allen Peat, and Bill Hanna were the goal guards. Lee Grove and Paul Yerxa successfully managed the team. Those having another year of competition are: Bushnell, Coles, Fitzgerald, Hanna, Brownstein, Porter. Harding, Baker, Churley, and Formes. Much credit must be given to Mr. Crumly for the manner in which his coaching brought the team into power. Class C Water Polo Teainni For the first time in the history of this scliool. a class C water polo team was organized. The team was handicapped by a late start, due to the delayed comple- tion of the swimming pool. Practice began one day before the first game. However, student coach Jack Deats managed to turn out a team that improved with each game. The first team lineup was: Captain Tommy Home and Smith, forwards; Blackburn and Araki, guards; Feldman, sprint; Heywood, center back; and Sandlin, goal guard. Others who comprised the squad were Behr. Davis. Green, Grant, Johnston, Leonard, Levy. Manchan, Rauch. and Wolfberg. Albert Bernson served well as manager tor the team. The prospects for next year are promising with the entire first string, except Black- burn, having two more years of competition. Yell Leaders Yell leader: Hay ward Andrews Assistants: Bert Morris Howard Bixler The yell leading crew, this term, was composed of Hayward Andrews as yell ■king and his two assistants, Bert Morris and Howard Bixler. The yell leaders were .ably assisted by the Rally Committee. While at L. A. Hayward. Warnuip Andrews , lias played two years o£ football and has made a successful yell leader this term. The l)oys on the track team were stirred to greater efforts by the rallies and ' stunts pro- moted by the yell leaders. Hayward will graduate with the class of S ' 32. Bert is a returning yell leader. With his pep and enthusiasm, he has helped to make this term ' s track season a success. Like Bert, Barny Bixler has led the Student Body of L.

Thus does the Girls ' Athletic Association otter the opportunity to girls tor better friendships among themselves. In a larger sense, the Olympic Games give nations the same chance to form friendships by engaging In friendly competition. The Games have organized committees which hold friendship as their common goal. The G. A.

Our miniature Olympic Games takes the form of play days at which time the girls from our clubs enter contests of basketball, tennis, hockey, archery with other schools. This semester sees us engaging in these games at Poly and on our own campus. With the completion of the pool, the G. A. A. welcomes a swimming club to its roll call. All that our organization does could not be if it were not for the unfailing in- terest, and imtiring guidance of our sponsors. So with the G. A .A. Cabinet as our Olympic committee, play days as our games, and our sponsors as counselors, we of the Girls ' Athletic Association hold as our goal, sportsmanship, tun. and friendship. (S ' .

Arclhery Climb President: June Bittleston Secretary: Molly Loomis Sponsor: Miss Richards The ancient Greeks strove for proficiency in athletics as well as in scholarship. During the middle ages, however, time spent in training for sports was considered time wasted. Modern people, however, have realized the necessity of developing the body as well as the mind, and so have revived the Olympic Games. Every tour years, the youth of the nations gather to compete in all sports, thus fostering the original Greek Ideal. These games also serve to promote friendship among all nations. Archery has now become one of the competitive sports in these Olympic Games and is acknowledged as one of the best methods of attaining perfect co-ordination of mind, muscle, and eye. An honor came to our club, when Nathalie Seifert, a former president of Archery Club, won first place in the Southern California Archery Tournament in the Junior Class, on April 9 and 10, 1932.

Fearless, horse and rider rise as one, leaping all hurdles MIBIIISBrN Moeoir Selhool lespeetioe Hoping to gain the title of Honor School for the seventh consecutive time in as many years, the Reserve Officers ' Training Corps of Los Angeles High School pre- sented on March 4th what was acclaimed the finest performance ever exhibited on Housh Field. With every man physically capable present, our unit formed before the members of the Board of Education. Student Body, alumni, and friends, in a united attempt to better our record of six successive Honor School ratings. This accomplishment has not been equalled by any other secondary school in the entire Ninth Corps Area. A company executed difficult extended order; B company displayed perfect close order drill; C company, composed of new men, demonstrated some beautiful phy- sical drill, squad, and platoon movements; the band played during the entire inspec- tion, and later marched in perfect alignment. Preceding the drill was the thorough inspection of uniforms and accoutrements, of the armory and officers ' quarters. Subsequently, a perfect alternate parade was staged; and then comprehensive, oral, theoretical examinations were taken in all sub.1ects. Colonel J. G. Pillow, army in- specting officer, declared that From the standards the unit set here today, there is reason for it to believe that it will again be ranked as one of our honor units. Colonel Pillow will continue the inspection of the Ninth Corps Area, which includes the eight western states, and official results will be made public later. Aside from the more serious aspects, our unit derives much pleasure from its service to the school and from its social events. The army ball is always an out- standing social function of the school year; it is attended by nearly all members of our unit, officers from other schools, alumni, and student oflicials in formal attire. The officers ' stag dinner with theater party is an occurrence which draws the officers and Colonel Mudgett into closer companionship. On April 23rd. the members and fathers of our unit spent a most interesting day at March Field. A complete review, and many demonstrations of varied air craft were presented for our benefit. The special field day developed into a lively and profitable competition. The showing of motion pictures every other week to the battalion was inaugurated this semester. The films dealt with military training; they were so graphic and favorably received that doubtless the practice will be continued. The Reserve Officers ' Trainiug Corps at L. A. is uniquely comparable to the Olym- pic teams of our modern Games. The Games are essentially competitive; the con- querors are given tokens of victory. Among the individual men in the R. O. T. C., com- petitions are conducted in the manual of arms: the most proficient man receives the Oliver medal, donated by our highly esteemed principal; squads compete amongst themselves for the Pollock Trophy; platoons struggle for first place in their company; and the companies strive for the treasured Honor Ribbon. We of the R. O. T. C. go as far in our training, and perhaps further, than those who compose our modern Olympic teams; besides developing our bodies and co-ord- inating our muscles, we develop our mental and moral strength. First of all, we have an example to emulate constantly before us. Our commander is respected and loved by every fortunate boy who is under his tutelage. Colonel Mudgett ' s lengthy military career and his experiences on the battle fields of France, his stern discipline with a gentle heart, his constant trust in youth, his strong character builded on high ideals, and his understanding kindliness all have combined wondrously to form the strong, quiet force which is the true foundation of our unit. Truly, his influence is indelibly stamped on the boys who have been under his instruction; and because of it, they will be better and more successful all through life. Sergeant Lawson, who might be com- pared to the trainer of the Olympic team, sees that all our equipment is in first-class order. This year, when Colonel Mudgett was given charge of all R. O. T. C. units in the city. Sergeant Lawson lightened his burden by capably assisting him with the instruction. Mr. Nelson is in charge of our band, which is the largest in years. He has developed It to a high degree of efficiency; he has been qualified to do so by his extensive musical experience and training. One who is familiar with the true purpose and immediate results of the R. O. T. C., can easily realize that this organization is an important cog in the country ' s national defense, a factor that goes far toward international peace and good will. As stated in the National Defence Act of 1920, the mission of the R. O. T. C. in the schools is to awaken in the student an appreciation of the obligations of citizenship, to prepare him to discharge his duties as a citizen of the U. S. A., and to qualify him as a military leader in case of need. The immediate objectives are physical fitness, smart- ness in appearance and a better carriage, a deeper love for one ' s country and in- stitutions, the development of initiative and personal judgment, and all qualities of leadership. The cadet is taught; neatness, the rules of health and sanitation, and fundamentals of first aid. He is drilled in the use of the rifle; and in musketry; he learns to co-operate as an integral part of a team. Rifle marksmanship is explained upon the field; and later, the cadet is required to practice on our modernly equipped gallery. In special classes, the young man becomes familiar with the automatic rifle. He learns to read and to make maps; and because map reading is very precise work, he learns to be accurate and to attend cai-efully to details. From Scouting and Patrolling, the student learns patience, observation and deductions, warranted ' from certain facts. Every sub- ject, from Interior Guard Duty to Physical Drill, has an important object and benefit for the cadet. These men are disciplined; they are taught to obey orders promptly and accurately as well as to give them. Training in leadership is a major purpose of this national organization. Boys are trained not merely for doubtful emergency warfare, but for the more important, common battle of lite. Common sense and good judgment, the ability to weigh the evidence and to estimate correctly the situation, the courage to cling to one ' s plans and to carry them out promptly in spite of all difficulties, the traits of mind and character which enable a man to command the confidence, respect and loyalty of his subordinates, and to call forth their best efforts; all of these qualities are as character- istic of the successful business man as of the successful leader of troops. There is no other form of training better fitted to develop these essential characteristics of leadership than a course of military instruction in the R. O. T. C. Colonel John J.

In competition with thirty-seven secondary schools and colleges, Los Angeles High ' s team placed eighth in the annual Ninth Corps Area competition. The ten men composing this team each shot in the four positions: prone, kneeling, sitting, standing. They garnered 5443 points out of a possible 6000. Last semester ' s score was bettered by 192 points; and the best previous score, that of S ' 30, was beaten by SS points. This superior showing will materially aid our unit in the contest for the title of Honor School again. This team is also competing in the nation wide William Randolph Hear st match, and will enter a team in the Intercollegiate Championship match. Sergeant Lawson has direct supervision of our modern gallery, and of all per- sons firing thereon. He is. therefore, responsible {or the marksmanship of every man in the battalion as well as for the fine showing made by this year ' s rifle team. The entire unit wishes to express to Sergeant Lawson its sincere thanks for his helpful- ness, patience, and real interest.
