Moore vast of the University of Califo FOREWORD Work is our greatest blessing; indeed, it ranks higher than that, it is perhaps our greatest necessity, for by it we make and keep ourselves men. When forced to till the ground, or die of starvation, the disorderly savage becomes more orderly. The heavy discipline of necessity makes him a civi- lized man. The human race has been a hard-working race. Even slavery, it is said, was a good school, for it forced men to be free. But, when we count our blessings, we find that some of them already have flown away. There is no longer money-earning employment for us all. Pro- duction has run ahead of demand, and the invention of machines to do the work of man has left many hands without work. This is technological un- employment, and the technological unemployment has come to stay. The problem of our time is not how to produce more but how to distribute that which is produced— that is, how to enable those who are unemployed to buy, which of course can be done only by dividing up the work there is so that every one will have some of it. That is the problem of our time, the distribu- tion of employment. When every one has been given his share of food-gaining work, the unemployment hours will not be less all around than the employed hours. How fill them up? For filled up they must be. I answer: Men must work to feed and clothe themselves. They must also work at occupations which, while they bring in no money, are not less definite than the others. I think we must stop using the word leisure. Its history and connotations are bad. We must talk about necessary occupation— tlie occupation which brings money and the occupation which does not but which Is no less neces- sary for us all. Then every man will answer: For my livelihood I do two things: I get my bread and meat by selling this particular form of skill, and I pursue these other trades to enlarge my world and fill my day.

Machinery has made it possible to produce the four fundamentals of life — food, clothing, shelter, and fuel — in sufficient quantities so that all mankind may live in comfort. Fair and wise distri- bution is the big problem of the present age. The long hours of work and the drudgery of a hundred years ago have quite largely been eliminated from the home, the farm, the manufacturing industries and the other great factors in civilization. Leisure time is a definite problem of our age. Wholesome amusement, good read- ing, interest in art and music, and recreational play must be more and more a part of the educational system of our country. The worthy use of leisure time is so vital to school and nation that it was made the theme of this semester ' s Semi-Annual. People of vision in America are realizing that the home and the school must guide the thoughts of our young people along the lines of good citizenship. Leisure time will give the average citizen of America more time for definite, active participation in government. Winter Class of 1934, your teachers thank you for the very fine spirit of co-operation that has been manifested by you. We are confidently expecting that you will take a definite place in the business and professional life of the city; that you -will avail yourselves of the opportunity for clean, wholesome use of leisure time; finally, that as good citizens you will be of real service to your community. We have faith in your integrity and in your ideals. We know that you will look the world squarely in the face and make it a b etter place for the oncoming generations because of your contribution to civilization. Miss Wolvertoe ' s M©§saie Dear Winter ' 34: We are living in days that will go down into history as days of unwelcome leisure for thousands of people. Probably leisure is becoming fixed as a greater portion of life for you than it was for your parents. It is well that our Semi- Annual suggests many fine uses for un- occupied hours. The use we make of leisure time tells not only what kind of people we are, but what kind of people we are becoming. May you plan your own leisure with the highest thought- fulness. Sincerely vour friend. Vice-principal Sarah Foss Wolverton MiTo Noble s Messsige To the Winter Class of ' 34: It is not by chance that one of the objectives of our national education society is worthy use of leisure time. Brought about by many different causes, the prob- lem of leisure time has now become one of national importance. Our schools and col- leges must regard this as a grave responsibility resting upon their shoulders. To in- sure the success of our national school r ™ J KK program, students must be taught a sane Bh K and helpful attitude toward all forms R 1 of recreation, and particularly toward k I those that carry over to later life. A man with a hobby is usually happy and con- tented, and, in most cases, a far better citizen. We urge you, the Winter Graduating Class of 1934, to bring into your con- tacts a spirit of true sportsmanship and, thereby, make this world a better and happier place in which to live both for yourselves and for your fellow beings. Very sincerely. Vice-principal Ralph C. S obtc . ART DEPARTMENT Roger J. Sterrect, Chairman of Department Franklin R. Becker Aimee Bourdieu Mrs. Zada P. Folz Florence M. Goddard Mrs. Josephine B.

Vice-principal Sarah F. Wolverton, Vice-principal Ernest W. Oliver. Principal Adimmastraitaoe The past semester has been one o£ the most notable in the history of the school. The official enrollment numbered over 3925 students. This is the largest number of students ever in attendance at Los Angeles High School during the sixty-one years of its history. A comparatively small Faculty of one hundred thirty-eight complete the organization of the school, making a total of over 4000 teachers and students. One of the very excellent features of the school is Its plan of student government. All the activities of the school are planned and completed by the students. This aids in the development of self-initiative and self-confidence w-hich will be of great use in later life. Through the co-operation of our principal. Mr. Oliver, the consti- tution of the school was revised and brought up to date and many new features added. This alone is a notable event. The athletic field was seeded, and a new tool house and new lath house were added to the campus. The R. O. T. C. was presented with the coveted Honor School rating for the eighth consecutive time at a review- held on Housh Field. The past semester presents a marked increase in the interest in mass athletics. L. A. is noted for its many types of teams. There is a team for every sport authorized by the Board of Education, and every boy and girl has the opportunity to participate in some athletic event. The school is now entering its sixty-first year, and the W31 Class will be the one hundred and second class to graduate from the old pioneer school. The high caliber of the school has been maintained by the excellent co-operation of the students and teachers. 23 Elmsive Timm© A marvelous treasure, a priceless gem, Divinely placed within your hand Each morn — a gift of four and twenty Golden hours. For one lone instant, too soon gone, Time lingers, vanishes into That timeless, voiceless, silent age We call the past. Thus given like and like to all, More is never to be gained ; Once gone, sent far beyond recall — Lost paradise. Let it slip not through your hands, Unseen, unused, while idleness Consumes it wastefully. Be wise. Spend wisely. AXXE MARTINEAU, Bll STUDENT F]r©§idl©et § Messai© Time is the God-granted raw material of creative effort. It is plotter of failure or builder of success. Its slovenly use breeds the criminal, incites the anarchist, molds the money-mad era of shallow pleasure seekers. Its perverted use embitters nations, plunges mankind into the hell of war. Time, honestly appreciated and wisely directed, has built our cities, spanned our seas, sung our songs, dreamed our visions of achievement. Thus, we of Los Angeles High School work daily with the stuff of success, time and its by-product, the odd moment. In our regular study lies the opportunity of acquiring the success-building qualities of perseverance, accuracy, and honesty. Extra- curricular activities stimulate versatility and maintain balance. Participation in these may vitalize a latent talenc and may hasten, with new ambitions, the finding of one ' s self and his work in the world. To the Faculty and Student Body, I am deeply grateful for their ready co-operation with the plans of the Student Government officers. More than all else do I cherish friendships formed here and the hope that they will endure. To be worthy of them, to strengthen them, I pledge my loyalty to the idea ' .s enshrined in L. A. High ' s in- spiring heritage. Sincerely. COOPER DAVIS 26 Messages This term, we have realized the im- portance of making use of our leisure time to bring forth talents and express our capabilities. Hay we receive the full value of this leisure in the future. Good luck. ROSE SAMUELS With a platform of co-operation, we have attained perfection by practical organiza- tion under the Boys ' Cabinet. Let us re- main an All-time, All-American Student Body by your continued aid. SID SCHWARTZ IBosiirdl F]re§ad©et§ ' The three years of service have been a joyous combination of work and play. At the conclusion of this term, we hope that our Board has given something worth while. EMILY SEDGWICK One of the main objects of the Boys ' Senior Board of Control has been to help you students to use your leisure time worthily, for yourself and the advancement of L. A. High.

The teachers acting in the capacities of sponsors are Miss Grace Champion of the social science department and Miss Lucy Adams of the mathematics department. Through their splendid guid- ance and capable leadership, we have brought to its close a most successful term. The Senior A Class participates in and sponsors the Senior A and B debate and contest, the Star and Crescent exercises and dance, graduation, and their weekly meet- ings. As ready helpers and constant guides. Miss Champion and Miss Adams have weathered the many storms and always aided us. With the most sincere and heartfelt appreciation, we hereby take the opportunity of voicing our thanks to our beloved sponsors for the interest they have evidenced in our welfare for the past year. We, the Winter Class of 1934, bid them a fond farewell and cherish the hope that we may be gone, but not forgotten. HENRY KURTZMAN, President, W34 ENIOR B r feeior IB Offieers President : Bob Underwood Vice-president: Peggy O ' Brien Secretary: Pat McLellan Treasurer: Jay Marks Sponsors: Miss Elizabetli Hughes Mr. A. M. Reillv We, the Summer Class of ' 34, find ourselves confronted with the many possibilities and challenging problems peculiar to this turbulent age. With the rest of our school, we are concerned about the ' worthy use of leisure time. During this trying depression, it is imperative that leisure time be used wisely; and we, the Senior B ' s, are co-operat- ing to the fullest extent in the program supporting the Worthy Use of Leisure. Inspired by the spirit of President Roosevelt and the X. R. A., we, as students, may employ some of our leisure in recovery — not in finances, but of the hope and ideals of youth. The colors symbolical of our class are orange and white. We Senior B ' s of modern Rome have chosen as the emblem engraved on our class pins, the eagle, insignia of the victorious armies of ancient Rome, and the courageous army of N. R.

Winter J.v A 1 Class of Whiter 1936 Clans of Summer JS- E As this page is measuieii by a ruler, so man ' s life and existence are measured by time, consumed by two occupations, work and play. Too much of either is the downfall of the individual. We have in the history of civilization two examples to warn us, but have we heeded these cautions? During the last days of Rome, there were but t wo classes of people, those who did nothing but play, and those who did nothing but work. The middle class, the class that has work and play well balanced, did not then exist. Men were either broken and bent from over-work or soft and shallow from under-work. The two extremes were bound to bring evil to the nation in time; and so they did, ' with the tragic Fall of Rome. One would think that the world would have profited by this lesson; but no, man would not be taught; and it was once again repeated during the middle ages through the power of the feudal system. No advancement was made during this period, for man ' s mind lay dormant; and this era has been named, in consequence, the Dark Ages. Now. once more man has begun to climb, for he has a strong majority middle class. It is seen, then, that the value of our leisure time is quite as great as our work- ing time, in the maintenance of the high standards of our civilization. Leisure time may be a great detriment or an asset, because leisure used well becomes a betterment; used wrongly, becomes an evil. The worthy use of leisure is any occupation which leads to the advancement of an individual or a nation. Sports advance the physical strength of an individual. Reading, study, science, all are advancement in the mental strength. Peace, calmness, and faith are advancement in spiritual strength. As the individual, so is the nation. Therefore, with the help of each and every one of us in a fine and worthy use of our leisure time, the •world of man will advance to limits far beyond our present dreams. SHIRLEY JOHNSTON Editor-in-chief Each Roman finds here at Los Angeles High the opportunity to help prepare for himself a fuller and more complete life. This school not only offers a means of obtaining in the future a livelihood, but a way of creating a path of happiness through life built on the pleasures of leisure time. Music, literature, art, and sports are here tor everyone; and at the completion of the three years with these friends, their values are realized. The joy of being able to read, to appreciate music, and in our leisure hours to enjoy a good football or basketball game will enrich our leisure time. School days have been a large part of our life; and during these three years, they have definitely contributed to the completion of our life and happiness. IRENE STILSON Assistant editor-in-chief During our leisure hours, we lend either to re-create our bodies and n inds or to destroy them. If we can successfully utilize our time, we profit; if we fail, we in- jure ourselves. In high school, a great deal of our leisure time is spent in human companionship. We catch a flicker of the meaning of friendship. As our lives pro- gress, this meaning will implant itself in our hearts and grow more beautiful through constant cultivation as a tree kindly tended with care. Thus will our old friends be dearer to us and our lives continually freshened and enriched. MARGARET WOODARD Senior A editor Leisure time, its dangers, possibilities, and significance. With these thoughts uppermost in our minds, we, of the Class of W ' 34, have endeavored to develop and present in our Semi-Annual, different ideas for the worthy use of leisure time. We sincerely hope that we have succeeded in picturing the immense possibilities of this far-reaching subject. Today, more than ever, we realize the benefits that may be dei-ived from a Worthy Use of Leisure Time. Leisure time means to us of today, the development of our physical prowess through games such as football, basketball, and baseball; but is it not possible at the same time to develop our mental and moral powers? Leisure time, to be well spent, should be divided between our physical, mental, and moral betterment. With this thought in mind, we of W ' 34 leave you, sincerely hoping that your leisure time is as well spent as we hope ours has been in the development of the W ' 34 Blue and White Semi-Annual. BILL BYERTS Business manager All work and no play , which was once the only conception pertaining to school life, has for many years been in oblivion. Once there were no classes in debating, physical education, domestic sciences, or innumerable subjects. Today, play is of the utmost importance in the school curriculum because it furnishes the relaxation so necessary in the monotony of school routine. Clubs, in the last few years, have offered an employment of this leisure time. Today finds us aiming towards a higher educational standard, given added in- terest through the medium of various aflilliated clubs and groups of those mutually interested in the advancemest of the fine arts; music, art, dancing, drama, and litera- ture, also, science, public speaking, and other worth while subjects. A more complete understanding of a person ' s thoughts and motives are developed in these organizations. Co-operation, which is developed by working harmoniously, is the essential element in these clubs. La ' cent talents and ambitions have been brought to the foreground through these groups. Under supervised direction, boys and girls are learning how to make their leisure time worthy and useful which will aid in carrying them far in life ' s struggle. ELLEN HOLT Organization editor What is more worthy, and, at the same time entertaining, than literature as an occupation of the leisure hours which high school students so often misuse? In the words of William J. Long, author of The History of English Literature , Literature is the expression of life in words of truth and beauty; it is the written record of man ' s spirit, of his thoughts, emotions, aspirations; it is the history, and the only history, of the human soul. Then why not use your leisure hour To help you reach a goal worth while? With words and phrases in your power. Perhaps a masterpiece you ' ll style. Express in words of strength and truth The history of the human soul. Write well, present ideals of youth — Leave not to men a worthless scroll. KATHERINE WILLIAMS Literary editor Mearth Comnpaeaoinis First Place — .S ' cHior A Contest A home, a temple of affections, may offer to the world bountiful gifts that carry hope and success to life. These gifts, comfort, peace, and beauty, crown that spot where relaxation for one ' s mind and body may be found and where the worries and sorrows of the outside world are forgotten. In this place of peace, we may be pre- served and renewed in strength and broadened in mind. And with this reviving spirit, we offer a new hope to civilization. As we approach our firesides when the long shadoTN ' s fall at eventide, we shall meet the companions who give us love and in- spiration. Is not the somewhat intangible but conscious spirit of the house itself a com- panion? How unfortunate the individual is who has never experienced that feeling of safety and comfort as he enters his home! The dwelling place of men today should be, above all else, a rest baven for the weary and discouraged. Furnishings of taste and beauty lend a harmonious atmosphere co the home. Within the loving arms of the house is protection. The hearth-fire keeps us warm, and its hospitality brings us contentment. This contentment satisfies our bodies but does not wholly sacisfy our needs. We crave human companionship; and therefore, we seek the friendship of those we love. As a family plays together, the members learn to enjoy the interests of each other. They enter into the friendly presences of books , and they thrill to the strains of beautiful music. They become real companions when their creations are mutual. Too, the individual learns to be a good sport and to recognize good sports. With this valuable training, one chooses friends who are faithful, good, and true to bring to his fire-side. Seeking valuable friends is essential because through them one most surely finds the greatest of all companions. Mr. Hugh Black writes, All our worships and friends and loves come from God and are but reflections of divine tenderness. . . . When comfort, beauty and peace are attained from the companions about our hearth-stones, the gifts are crowned by Almighty God. He, our Greastest Friend, sanctifies our homes and blesses our hearth-companions, who bring life ' s fulfillment nearer to earth. True homes provide glorious opportunities for one ' s leisure time because they hold the treasures which make life abundant, and the ideals which develop the com- plete man. And in this completion, rest the success and hope of life.

(As the cnrtain is raised slowly, a voice is heard from the wings saying: Voice: Then on with your shabbiest, hardiest wear! (The kind that the women-folk term a disgrace! ) And swing down the highway with Wind-in-the-hair, Or splash through the puddles with Rain-in-the-face! ARTHUR GUITERMAN (The stage is dark except for a light on a desk. Here David, a student, sits in profound concentration. His face is haggard and drawn, and he is stooped from over- work. Throughout the following scene, he coughs occasionally). David: I must write an essay on leisure and finish it tonight. I who have never had any leisure, but work from morning till night, and never fail to burn the midni t oil! I wish I might have a whole day to do as I pleased. (Time steps from the back of the stage, just far enough into the light to be faintly outlined). Time: Tomorrow you shall have twenty-four hours in which to do entirely as you please. I will return for an account of your day. David: Thank you. Time. I hope my use of the day will please you. (The curtain is lowered to denote a passage of two days. The scene is the same, but David is not working; on his face is a look of peace and rest. He finishes hum- ming a gay tune and walks around the stage in and out of the light, muttering words such as Spring, Wind, Rain, Rest . Enter Time). Time: I liave come to find what profit you garnered from your leisure. How did you spend your day? David: ' SMien I awoke, I was able to lie in bed and listen to the birds who kept chirping Go to the country, go to the country! So I dressed and started out across the open field. (While David is saying this, his voice gradually lowers; and the light is slowly put out. The desk is removed, and the lights are flashed on revealing a stage showing only a plain fresh green backdrop. The whole stage is now alight. David comes from the right, whistling; and Wind comes from the left, puffing. When Wind reaches David, he knocks off his hat and speaks: Wind: Do you not know how to walk in the country? Loose your hair to me and open your coat, so that my keen freshness may envelop you and bring you new life. After I have done ttiis, I will call a friend of mine who will wash you clean of all bodily fatigue and mental worry. (The patter of Rain ' s little feet can be heard as she approaches. Suddenly, the stage is illuminated; and David is seen in the center of the stage, wet and radiant and glorified while Wind and Rain stand by gazing proudly at the healing power of their work.) Wind and Rain: (As Rest enters) We now turn you over to Rest. The desire for her will take you home, and the possession of her cause a mood suitable for the visit of Inspiration. 79 Wind and Rain go off the side where they entered while Rest is pursued by David. The stage darkens, and the desk is returned. Rest comes in and lights the lamp. David sits in the chair, and Rest strokes his forehead. Inspiration enters; David lifts his head, opens his eyes, and gazes at Inspiration as though hypnotized. He listens as Inspiration speaks: Inspiration: David : Have you seen or done anything today which, you think, all mankind should share? Have you a desire to give it to him in some work of beauty? Perhaps a painting I A story! A poem! (Staring) Ah! Yes, a poem (gets up and stalks around the room muttering Wind, Rain, Rest ). (The lights go out gradually as he is doing this; and when they come on again, he is talking to Time as in the beginning.) .... And so I wrote a sonnet; and Satifaction came and congratulated me on it and upon having found a real use for my leisure time, which, he said, I mus ' i always take, at any cost. Ofte.i. it is of no cost as it results in the making of an everlasting joy. How true! But I must get back to work. (The curtain descends with David bending over his work and smiling, refreshed by his happy use of leisure.) FINIS ROBERT HILVERKUS Joiners L©i§ere Tim© Where da ya worka, John ?

Who, wandering, have caught the snow In any moment of its everchanging loveliness And seen the gentle ' way in which it clothes Unevenness .... Or heaps upon a mossy bank To burn against the black and swirling waters With unbelievable coldness .... Or sleeps upon the limbs of star!;, sharp trees, Mournful in leaflessness. . . . Let no man say their idleness Is waste .... Theirs is immeasurable wealth .... They understand .... Why God who loveth winter too Hath made the cherry tree to bloom This pale spring dawn .... And flung some of its breathless whiteness To the hard, green ground .... JACK TOWNSEND COTTLE, All Happiness lies hidden Far from those who seek her blessing. But her happy daughter Beauty Dances in the sun Around us. Flaunts herself in the flame of the maple In the autumn, Shimmers in the silver glimmer of light On the lake, Twines lazily, twisting upward to Jie sky With the smoke. Many blind men seek Happiness, Searching for her in the gloom and misery Of their lives, Groping, haggard, having time for naught But Pain and Sorrow. Other men with eyes which see The frost on aspen leaves in spring Follow Beauty as she flits Hither and away. Lurking for a moment in the petals of a rose, Leaping, dancing, singing, humming with the bees. She leads the way to Happiness, Who waits with ample arms outspread To greet her daughter ' s lovers. LORNA KERR, B12 81 ' rS ' : Moro Roek Seov boeed Cmirtesij of Padilla Studio The white silence of white dawn brings a moment of peace above a hurried world. Th© Cift of tlh© Great Upper Divisioti I ' rise t tory The critics had acclaimed his brilliant satirical poetry, and the world of sophisti- cation had placed him on a pedestal. But he, the poet of the hour, was desperately ill with a ravishing disease, not of the body, but of the soul. There were twinges and aches that welled up in his throat in a choking throb of pain -which reverberated through his heart and made strange discords in the clear sparkle of his mind. But he wrote on and on Into the dark corners of the night and through the first hush of the dawn. The world clamored for more, more of his scintillant verse: and he, blinded by the dazzle of popular acclaim, outpoured his genius in a flood of clover mockery. The keen barbs of his wit withered .... No use to write. No use. He pretended it was boredom, made his excuses to patrons and publishers, and packed his bags osten- sibly for a two weeks ' vacation. But he suddenly realized that he would be gone longer than two weeks, or two months, or two years. He lied, soul-weary, from the great city and its crowds of idol worshippers. Days of glaring whiteness were weirdly merged with nights of dull blackness into an eternity of gray monotony, wan emptiness wherein he lay suspended, chill, alone, terribly alone, his arms and legs fettered with invisible icy bands. He could do noth- ing. And this thought smote him with a peculiar significance; fettered or tree, he had nothing to do, nothing to see, nothing .... nothing .... Only the Void of ghastly nothingness. And then a glimmer of pale sun, a glimpse of the sea. only a fleeting glimpse, for the Void swiftly, silently blanketed him again .... He dozed fitfully and woke to a blue and gold brilliance. His fetters were dissipated; his inertia had vanished. He was free .... free .... But he still had nothing to do ... . This lashed his soul; he shivered. He looked about him. He was standing at a crossroads. One way led into a forest, a forest of mist and shadow; the other dwindled off into a narrow path that skirted the sea. There was gray shadow in the mystic forest; it reminded him too forcibly of the Void. Down by the sea, he went in search of some- thing to soothe his soul, something to do ... . Wonder where this path ends? Perhaps it goes to the moon .... Hello, end of the trail already. Not much of a termination! A few scraggly trees, sand dunes with tufts of whiskey weeds, a spur of land jutting into the sea. Brn-r! Water looks cold, wind ' s kind of sharp, too. ' There ' s one fellow doesn ' t seem to mind it. He ' s probably a little queer. Long hair. Funny clothes. Might be interesting to talk with. Come to think of it, haven ' t talked with a soul yet since I ' m here. Hi. there! What do you think of the depression? That ' s a good lead. Gets them started quick. Most folks go on and on about the terrible conditions in the world today. Yes, what ' s wrong with the world? Nice face, aesthetic, eyes that look far away. Oh, you say the world is too much with us. Why that sounds like an essay — no, a — a poem I read once, long ago. Let ' s see, how did it go? Think it goes like this : The world is too much with us; late and soon. Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! Splendid thought in that! Wish I could remember the rest. Say, excuse my abysmal ignorance and please tell me who wrote it? You wrote it? Well, who the devil are you? .... William Wordsworth? .... Hmm, better humor him. Looks harmless .... Yes. yes. go on. Tell me more about our callous indifference to the beauties of nature. Wonder where he got his informa- tion? Doesn ' t sound like book knowledge. Nor insane ramblings.

When the poet returned to the city from Resthaven by the sea, his soul was healed: he was eager to get to his desk again. He unpacked his things, and among them he found a time-mellowed book. Ho couldn ' t remember having taken any books with him. And the books in his library were not time-mellowed. He looked through the volume, and the scene on the beach came back to him with an almost mystical radiance. The world .... too much with us ... . Little we see in nature that is ours. And he knew, as he read the sonnet from that worn volume of Wordsworth, that he would never answer the requests from his publishers and patrons for more of his cruel, satirical poems: but instead he would diffuse through his writings his new- found happiness, share with the world his new friend, Nature. TED COLTON 83 m Q Well Speet L©i§er© Third Place — Senior A Contest Amid the constant grind of our artificial modern life with its noise and con- tusion tending to blot out all sense of peace and quietude, leisure seems to have put on the shroud and buried itself forever. Yet there are those who in spite of all this seem to be able to rise above this congestion, who can be in a crowd but not of it . Those who, -when other minds are weary and worn, craving artificial entertain- ment, can in a moment of leisure think and find resource enough within themselves to be content to be alone. Meditation and contemplation to many of us appear to be unknown terms. They both require solitude, and this means boredom to many. It is surely a test of character to be able to find enjoyment by searching our own thoughts. However, we know many people to whom the word meditation means only self- centered thoughts, not with the motive of sifting over the soil and seeking to better it, but with vain egotism. Such thinking is shallow and reflects the character of the person, else he would find something of more interest than mere self-appreciation. Then, too, there are those who do nothing but dream; but I consider this a legitimate leisure; these people do not await leisure; they make it whether they should have it or not. The only remedy for those who have not enough to think about and those who think too much about themselves, would seem to be to Instill into them a desire to help someone else, to render some little kindness, to perform some small deed for the less fortunate. In this way, they would learn to occupy their thoughts on a worthy cause and thus remove it from themselves. Thinking kind thoughts and saying kind words are constructive. Not every one finds this leisure; and those who do often say they cannot afford to waste the few moments idly thinking and losing time when they might be doing other tasks . We should not forget that an idea must first be conceived before being carried out; for perhaps if those things we so often wished we could undo had been properly weighed and thought over first, there would be no desire to undo them; time would then be saved, not wasted; and above all, we should be better for the experience of having used our minds. Too many minds lie idle and untrained when they are most needed simply because their owners have not yet learned how best to use them. Ignorant or careless people often wear out their bodies forgetting that their minds are the real power. I do not mean that we should withdraw into the seclusion of deep thinking; but we should appreciate the fact that thought should pre- cede our actions, for indeed there are many worthy avocations that recreate us in our daily routine and are valuable in widening our interests as well as increasing our knowledge. Many are the fields of interest, but we shall find that thought is necessary to bring us to the recognition of the best field of our own use, an occupation that would bring out our talents, improve our knowledge, and be helpful to others. There are many people who are gifted in more than one direction and who may be unwisely cultivating one which may prove valueless, while another, which perhaps would bring better associations and better returns, lies undeveloped and useless. Experimenting along different lines is valuable, though it may sometimes prove fruitless. Every experience we have, though, increases our knowledge, helps to show us for what we are best suited. There is inestimable value in learning how to choose avocations as well as vocations and how to make the best of both. This selection requires much thought. Leisure is indeed well spent when occupied with sensible or uplifting conversation. Finished conversation was once a fine art, and should be now. Today, there are few incidental conversations, that in value, amount to much more than mere meaningless chatter, while the dinner hour conversation of earlier days was worthy to be printed. 84 The logical explanation lies in the fact, that in proportion to the rapid progress of the modern world, people have less time to sit together and linger and converse. Well spent moments of good conversation awaken thought. The very fact that we live in an age that denies us much time to ourselves should be an incentive to make as good use of that time as possible. We do not live in an age where materially speaking we can wander care free, yet thoughtful, over the open road and green hills, nor lie in pastures under the stars, where leisure offers both mental and physical relaxation. That road now is the path we choose in life; the green hills our fertile mental gardens; and the stars, that spark of inspiration that we must all find to go on. We should then make it imperative to find time for thought, time to cultivate the right path in life and thereby gain that inspiration that helps us through life. The true answer to worthy use of leisure is to ind within our own selves; no one can tell another how to put his spare time to the best use, for he probably would not agree with him or would shun his advice. The wisdom with which we use our leisure is in proportion to our own thinking, not to the opinion of others. If we have yet to learn how. in moments of leisure to think worthy thoughts, above all let us not waste these precious moments by engaging in either useless or selfish occupations, but remember those wise words of Young: Think nought a trifle thought it shall appear. Small sands the mountain, moments make the year. BETTIE VOORTIKIS. .- 12 T liilhit Visioe Upper Division Prize Poem 0 er my window sill In translucent twilight still. Drowsy grey, golden curved.

Lekimire Tiinme W©11 §p©et In Comiradeslhip Honorable Mention — Senior A Conhtit True comradeship embodies the ideals of perfection of mind body, and spirit. This perfection of mind and body was the ideal of the Greeks which was obtained through their worthy use of leisure time, especially demonstrated by the Olympic games. Through the ages, these two ideals have been manifested in comradeship; but through the advance of civilization, spiritual development has been embodied in the ideals of comradeship. The problems of man have been solved by the bringing to- gether of groups with a common interest at heart, and this common interest is the making of fellowship. All of this, however, was done in leisure time, which until a number of years ago was exceedingly scarce. Our modern time saving devices were not in use a few years ago; and consequently, work took practically all the hours of the day. Therefore, if the people of the ancient times until the beginning of our modern generations had been able to use worthily their very limited leisure time, what great possibilities tor the further advancement of mankind would have been in store for the people of this modern age, with the wise use of growing leisure time. The question now arises how shall we wisely and worthily use our leisure time? We may wisely use our leisure time in reading and in the general gaining of knowledge; but for a more practical and worthy use. the choosing of true comrades, those with a common interest is the better. The modern school boy needs more than just his family, his schooling, his gang of fellows; he needs true comrades uniting into a fine character-building fellowship. A great opportunity is offered to the young boys and men of today by a modern service organization, namely the Young Men ' s Chris- tian Association. Under the fine and spirited leadership of the Y. M. C. A., clubs are formed which are sponsored by the churches. These are clubs for boys in grammar school, for boys in junior high, for fellows in senior high, and for men in college. The object of these clubs is the expression of Christian ideals in character by the mem- bers. Every club sponsored by this organization is conducted directly by the members. They have a leader to guide and advise them, but their character is developed mainly by their own initiative in taking part in their club activities. Sportsmanship is developed in their athletic contests sponsored by the Y . Although keen competition and rivalry is prevalent among the clubs, only the highest ideals of sportsmanship exist. The meetings of these clubs are conducted entirely by the fellows: this train- ing develops leadership. The conduct of meetings and programs, the arrangements for trips, hikes, and parties are main factors in the development of leadership. Every young man should be able to conduct himself in a well-bred manner. He should have the power to speak in public with ease; he should be well informed on current topics; he should be able to take part in all types of athletics; he should have the ability in general to take part in all social activities. This, however, can not be obtained through the general education offered by a public school. The young man must seek further. He must enter into activities outside of his general course in school; he must make worthy use of his leisure time if he is to conduct himself in a cultured manner. Part of this outside activity is offered by the Y and its organized clubs. The Y is a boys ' institution, and it knows the needs of every boy in rounding out his education of which the principal need is comradeship. The association with real and true fellows will develop in a young man a fine character, and enable him to conduct himself in a well-bred and convincing manner. Through the athletic activity of these clubs and through the participation in club programs and the association with real fellows, the two Greek ideals of perfection of mind and bodv are developed. However, the basis, the foundation of these two ideals is spiritual development. It has been said that An arrow warped in t he making will never be true in its flight. Much of our crime wave today is caused by juveniles because many boys of great metropolitan cities are forced to play in the streets. The good that is instilled in them by the public school educational system is being torn down because they are not taking a worthy advantage of their leisure time. Gangs are formed; the boys think it smart to steal; their boyish heroes are under- world snakes. As they grow to manhood, they are caught in this great net of fiends; they have formed a habit which is almost impossible to break. What started out to be just boyish gangs ended in their downfall and great injury to a nation. However, it these boys had been a part of a real gang of fellows, led by the Y and manifest- ing the principles of Christianity, each fellow would rise in lite instead of being con- fined in darkness, and his country would be greatly benefited. Untold benefits will be received, and a real advancement in lite will be obtained through the participation in the friendly Y. M. C. A. movement. . . Friendship can not be bought. In order to be successful and happy, friends are necessary. A boy should start choosing his friends early, not that the friends he makes early in lite will be his truest and dearest friends because in all probability 87 they will not; but with an early experience in choosing true comrades, he will be able in his later lite to Judge and to know who his real friends are. This point may be best illustrated by a wonderful thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson, who said Our friendships hurry to short and poor conclusions because we have made them a texture of wine and dreams, instead of the tough fiber of the human heart. No man is successful or truly great unless he is overflowing with gladness and happiness. Thus, if leisure time is spent in choosing true friends, friends who will bring happiness and success into the lives of men, and is spent in association with them, is this not time well spent? Through the ages, leisure time has been enjoyed in fellowship. Those ideals of courage, of honor, of sportsmanship and of loyalty have lived and are expressed in all true fellowships. In some generations of the world ' s history, these ideals have been hidden, and the people retrogressed; their civilization collapsed. This may be com- pared in some measure to the conditions existing today. The crime wave has ex- panded to an alarming degree, principally because the shifting of those ideals ex- pressed in comradeship. The ideals of true fellowship have never found their way into the hearts of those boys forced to play on the sidewalks of great metropolises. Their ignorance is dynamiting the foundation of our great civilization as the ignor- ance of the people of the dark ages tried to shatter the remarkable civilization of ancient Greece. This destruction, however, would be prevented if these young men would heed their need and wisely and worthily use their leisure time in character- building movements. The realization of true fellowship is one of the greatest rewards that organized leisure in comradeship offers. Real and true friends are the need of all mankind. The happiness and success of all men depend entirely upon true comradeship. Ruskin expresses this quest when he says That according to the sincerity of our desires that our friends may be true and our companions wise, and in proportion to the earnestness and discretion with which we choose both, will be the general chances of our happiness and usefulness.

JEAN WOLLEY, Leiseir© Timm© In th© Moimeitams Honorable Mention — Senior A Contest The way in which a person should plan to spend his leisure time depends largely. I believe, on the nature of his daily occupation. Most of our business men of today spend a large part of their time at indoor work which does not involve any physical labor, and which may not be particularly healthful because of the lack of it. This theory also applies more or less to the student in school, who does fairly close work for most of the day. What better place is there for such a person to spend at least a part of his leisure time than in the great outdoors, and what better way is there to spend it than pursuing one of the many forms of recreation offered there by nature? Our Southern California mountain land is accessible all the year around, al- though it offers a wonderful and delightful change from the warm, sunny weather of summer to the cold and snow of winter at higher altitudes. Indeed, it is in this hill and mountain country that I have spent a great deal of my leisure time; and I am convinced that nowhere else in the world are tliere any more beautiful or lovely canyons and streams, or more grand and magnificent ridges and peaks. Hiking is, I believe, the most enjoyable and widely kno ' wn pleasure of this wonder- land although with the coming of the roads and the automobile there are fewer and fewer hiking paradises left. WTiat better or more invigorating excercise is there than that obtained by walking all day, up and down hill through this beautiful scenery in the clear air of the upland country? T Tiat more satisfying feeling is there than that of drinking from a clear spring in the cool shade of a tree after hiking up a dry, dusty trail in the hot sunlight? What more soul-stirring sight is there than the view from many of our upland trails as one looks down pine-clad ridges, precip- itous and awe-inspiring gorges thousands of feet below, over distant ranges of lesser mountains beyond, which finally stretch out to merge with the blue of the sky, a vast sea of clouds, colored and tinted by the sun to resemble a fairyland beyond imagination? What better time is there to talk in -intimate conversation and to make merry -with a good friend than at night by the campfire, under the pines and the stars? Many companion sports accompany hiking; one of these is fishing, which is at its best in the pools and rapids along the upper reaches of our swift mountain streams. Another is hunting; and the pleasure is equal whatever the game may be. Few emotions surpass the tense excitement of the deer hunter when, after per- haps walking many miles, up hill and down, through the cool shade and the hot sunlight, under the trees or through the dusty gray brush, he finally sees a buck. Besides these summer sports, vistas of new worlds open when the dusty, dry earth is first covered by a mantle of snow; and the branches of the trees bend low under their white burden. Then the hiker can don his skiis or snow shoes and go forth on the old trails to review the scenes which are so changed by their snowy blanket. Best of all these recreations are the friendships that one makes in the mountains, embracing all kinds and classes of people, for beyond the edge of civilization, con- ventions are set aside temporarily; and men meeting one another seem to become friends almost at once. Indeed, when two friends go forth alone, any barriers that may have stood between them break down; and they talk freely to one another, re- vealing the depths of their feelings. And lastly, when the time comes to go back to work, whether it be in school or in an office, and the mountains, with their myriad pleasures and benefits, are left behind, their influence inspires one to work better, and to make closer friends for- ever of those who have shared their recreational experiences. Moreover, as one looks up at the far away blue heights, the city instills in him fuller sense of beauty and a new understanding of mankind. JOHN MASSON With wind in my sails. With spray on my face.

T ceica J n iCa ' f Th© Msigie Laed of Msike=IB©Meve Organization Prise — Brush and Quill The worthy use of leisure time becomes a great problem with the iutroduction of so many labor saving devices. In the early days, there was little time in which to relax. Agriculturists, living on farms, were compelled to produce the major portion of their necessites themselves. They cured their meat, prepared their own soap, culti- vated their fields, wove their own cloth, and worked fourteen or sixteen hours a day. The urban people of the past slaved in factories from dawn until darlv and were too tired for recreation when they came home from work. Even the children spent their youth imprisoned in ill-lighted, poorly-ventilated rooms when they should have been out playing in the sunshine. At the present crisis, with the five day week and the eight hour day. we have time to spend on our avocations. I think there is no better Avay to spend a delightful afternoon than by reading an instructive and entertaining book. Little children may be influenced and directed in the right path by reading stories cleverly written to in- clude situations that occur in their every day lives. A book may be pleasing to read, and yet be of great value. Much of our education is received from book.s, and many a lesson is learned more easily if it is written in an interesting manner. Many lives are influenced by the literature people read. Young girls must be especially careful in choosing their reading material. Their lives may either be guided into interesting and helpful channels, or they may be ruined by cheap novels and romance into ones of crime and vice. A reader may be conducted into a wonderland filled with enjoyment through novel situations created by the writer. This person is very susceptible to ideas that are presented to him. A great many fields may be opened for his consideration by a well phrased remark of a wise author. A book transports the reader into an imaginary world where he may wander at will and feel he is associating with people he meets on his journey. A character that glows with life inspires a feeling of friendliness and oneness with the sympathies of the author. Such qualities provide the reader with many hours of enjoyable relaxation. Many types of books are not worth the valuable time spent on them. Other types such as romance, tales of murders, and adventure stories only while away many tedious hours. A mind familiar only with such books would be dwarfed to the ap- preciation of the more valuable gems of literature. To receive a well balanced knowl- edge of literature, one must not be content to confine oneself to a single type but have a diversified range of subjects. Many people enjoy non-fiction. Most of us have a desire to wander in distant countries. While our ambition is still unrealized, we may explore these tar away lands through the medium of books of travel. A greater incentive to visit these strange countries is created by reading such tales because of information about their customs and habits. Many a national figure has been more greatly appreciated through an understanding of the obstacles he was obliged to overcome and the use he made of his opportunities and leisure. These fields are not alone to be investigated. Social problems, psychology, and science are unlimited in scope and education. They give the reader an idea of every day circumstances and how to deal with them. All may enter this wonderful fairyland of books. There are no restrictions for admittance, and all that is needed is the desire for enjoyment and instruction. This would be a truly wise use of leisure. JOYCE McMULLEX.

Iv fa f Liteirateireg the Mistoiry of Thoeght Honorable MrntUm — Senior A Kssay C07itest The way in which a high school student uses his leisure time is perhaps the greatest indication of his future self. After all, is it not the leisure hours which have the greatest influence on character? During school hours, the student may be learn- ing and improving his mind; but lie is worl iug because he must. Whether or noc he pxiis his afternoons, evenings, and week-ends to a worthy use counts. This does not mean an all worlv and no play schedule. Recreation, from the standpoint of health and happiness, is an essential of present day lite. Even so, would it not be possible to make a part of one ' s play hours actually aid in self-improvement? If the leisure of youth is all spent frivolously, think of the time wasted which might have given valu- able experience to be used in later life. One of the most interesting, entertaining, and, at ahe same time, worth while uses of unoccupied hours is literature. W. J. Long, author of Hiscory of English Litera- ture , states Literature is the expression of life in words of truth and beamy; It is the written record of man ' s spirit, aspirations, and emotions: it is the hiscory, and the only history of the human soul. There are three methods by which literature may be used to advantage. The first is the most common, chat of reading. A surprising amount of knowledge and entertainment may be gained through the mere reading of books. As Ruskin has said, The covers of a book are like a screen in the chamber of a famous person, be- hind which the reader sits. Through the medium of lX)oks, one may travel to the innermost corners of far away lands, understand, to a degree, the science in which great men experimenc, catch glimpses of other people of the world, and live in a realm o£ imaginary characters. Much of the beauty of literature may be found in poetry. Hence, to read poetry is to read the soul of the world. The second way in Avhich literature may be employed during idle hours is by the study of the lives of authors and poets. After one has studied the biography of an author or poet, shared his heartaches, tragedies, joys, and honors, he has a deeper understanding of the writings of the person and acquires a greater appreciation of the creator ' s philos ophy. The study of the lives of authors is, at times, more interest- ing than is the study of the writings of those same authors. The third and most interesting and useful division of literature is creative writing. Although there is great pleasure to be obtained from reading the works of other people, there is nothing to compare with the thrill of reading a meritorious creation of one ' s own. Of course, there are many discouragements and failures, but, once in a while, it the amateur writer never gives up hope, he will produce a short story, a novel, or poem which even he can see is worth while. High school students, especially, if they are at all interested in literature, should try now, while they have the freshness and never say die spirit of youth, to develop their creative powers. It is a common tailing to say I ' ll try my hand at writing when I finish school. I ' ll have more time then. The person who believes in this doctrine usually finds later that he has no more time when he enters the business world than he had in school. Therefore it behooves one to use his spare minute-s worthily, and certainly there is no use of leisure more beneficial than creative writing. The writing of either prose or poetry is an entertaining and, at the same time, valu- able diversion. It not only stimulates one ' s mind; it also is an amusing pastime. The conclusion would be natural, then, that literature, in its three phases, is assuredly a worthy use of leisure time. So why not use your leisure hour To help you reach a goal worth while? With words and phrases in your power Perhaps a masterpiece you ' ll style. Express in words of strength and truth The history of the human soul. Write well, present ideals of youth. Leave not to men a worthless scroll. KATHERINE WILLIAMS Literary editor HonorahJe Mention — Senior A Contest All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. Thorndike makes the statement that Most of the disputes about the service of play in education hark back to a vagueness in defining what play is to be taken to mean. The term play may be applied to all those activities which are free and spontaneous, and which are pursued for their own sake alone. Play will thus in- clude practically all the activities of children, and the larger share of those of adults, such as games, sports, diversions, entertainments, and reading, art, painting, and music. Hetherington recalls the forceful prejudices which have militated against physical education and play. These prejudices are: Asceticism with its exaltation of the mind and contempt for the physical. Scholasticism with its emphasis on the in- tellect and neglect of the instincts and emotions. Puritanism with its worship of seriousness and its depreciation and fear of play. Children have suffered from the common American Idea that play is synonymous with fooling, or is an activity that is not worth while. Recently we have been forced to think more deeply on the whole subject of work and play, and have discovered that perhaps great social problems may be in- volved. The outbreak of recreation crazes in America — dancing, the movies, cabarets — are not due to frivolity, luxury, or even idleness, but rather are a form of recreation against a manner of life that Is too serious and tense. And it is possible that the trouble is not in the lack of social adjustment, but rather in the lack of physiological adjustment in the individual. Therefore, what we have to strive for is not so much improved social conditions, as improved health and physical constitutions, to be gained only by a different manner of life, a different kind of education, a different proportion of work and play. Many theories of play have been offered, but they may all be referred to two principal ones, namely, the Spencer theory, and the Groos theory. Both are partial views, in need of more careful definition and limitation. The Spencer theory is the surplus energy theory — that In the lower animals play is not necessary, since all of their energies are constantly expended in the mainte- nance of life: but in the higher animals and in man, as time and strength are not wholly absorbed in providing for immediate needs, there is a surplus of vigor which is ex- pended, through the usual channels, in play. There are three objections to Spencer ' s theory. First, in naming energy not ex- pended in life processes as surplus energy he assumes that man exists to work, and that play is something extra to fill up time. Secondly, Spencer ' s theory does not apply to the play of children at all. as the child is not a working animal. Thirdly, his theory does not explain the form taken by the play of adults or children — thus missing the whole point. Professor Groos ' theory of play is that the play of children and animals are in- stincts which have arisen through their usefulness as a practice and preparation for life ' s later serious duties. In one sense play, like food or sleep, is a preparation for manhood. But it is better to regard the child as a playing animal, realizing in himself his own end. We discover but faint resemblance between the child ' s play, and the pursuits of adult man. They resemble rather the pursuits of primitive man, of the sport of adults of the present day. The values of play may be divided into three groups. First, the total disuse of an organ tends to render it useless. Consequently, a reasonable exercise of the various organs ot the body is necessary. Secondly, the team work of play develops a char- acteristic most necessary tor the success of our experiment in democratic government This characteristic is the capacity for co-operation which is the ideal of the demo- cratic movement. Things must be in unison, and everyone takes part; thus the indi- vidual learns that he is necessary to the game, and that without his sane co-operation, neither he nor his associates will be able to enjoy themselves to the fullest extent. Thirdly, one cannot play without receiving mental influence of various kinds, since play is not only educational, but stimulates the capacity for mental growth. Such mental qualities as alertness, initiative, and foresight may he obtained. The quality of leadership develops, and this involves the use of calculating facilities and requires constant planning and use of judgment. In order to gain the desired end, a different kind of social life seems to be neces- sary. It will not be a socialistic state based on a pleasure economy, where peace and plenty are supposed to go hand in hand. As the human mind and body are now con- stituted, an era of plenty will not be an era of peacej for increase of riches, whether national or individual, does not conduce to peace, but rather to irritability and con- tention. The only hope lies in changing the direction of a largely increased relaxation, and in a mode of life which puts less emphasis upon the brain.

MARIAN JONES, AlO 97 Tlh© West Caimiipiiiis Photo by Witzet In the sun-laced shadoivs of the eucalyptus of east lane, youth steals a moment of leisure from ever driving time. EdMcMioeal Leisimr© Timme The world will have healthier people, happier inhabitants, and better citizens when education and leisure time are so united as to allow tlie creative self of the individual to be developed. Man is by nature creative; but this ability needs not only expression, but development. This is to be found in education, not the education which has been the traditional loading of people with book knowledge, but the education which will give man aptitude, skill, and interest in the occupation of his leisure time. In this leisure, a person naturally turns to the diversion in which he is most interested. With the large increase of such time, a definite part of education will be recreation which enables a person to be self-active and to find definite values in the arts, crafts, and out-of-door pleasures through his education. Education long has been credited with man ' s physical and mental development, and lias held a marked place superior to recreation. Tlie latter has been considered as a vacation from labor and as a pursuit of pleasures. Recreation has not been judged as re-creation and as the true expression of the individual, but it is as vital as education, for man utilizes his education in the use of his leisure. A definite part of leisure time may be employed in physical activities. The robust person finds football, basketball, and other such vigorous sports to his liking: the less strenuous person enjoys tennis, golf, or swimming; the delicate individual may con- tact the out-of-doors through brisk walks. These engagements are not merely play, but they offer marked physical development. Without good health, a person is not capable of understanding an important task or responsibility; and he is deprived of a great many pleasures of life. This recreation is an application of the knowledge of games and sports to the physical pleasures of leisure hours. In man ' s leisure, he does not always turn to the out-of-doors, but often finds in- terest and happiness in occupations which offer men tal activity. To some, happiness is found in the trades. Man loves to experiment, to manufacture, and to mend articles. These occupations would not interest others. Another person would find happiness in the cultural arts, and these are both recreational and educational. The knowledge, entertainiuent. and spiritual value of books and the drama, the pictorial expression o£ the musical classics hold the answer to the desires of many. Each fills his leisure hours with a different occupation. These have two visible values. The first value is the material advancement obtained by education and its ap- plication during leisure hours. The author procures food for thought in other books; the musician, in concerts: and the artist, in paintings. The mechanically or scien- tifically minded person discovers help and material in his laboratory or workshop. Education in leisure time enables one not only to procure a livelihood, but a better livelihood than would otherwise be possible. This comprises a material value. A spiritual value is to be considered also. If each one utilizes his leisure in the study of material which is helpful to mankind, and is the development of true ap- preciation for music, art. and literature, he is enriched spiritually by tlie happiness in his appreciation of their value and perfection. Appreciation and interest in help- ful and beaunful objects in life is certain to raise the standards of ideals and have a moral effect upon the individual. Aristotle attributed to man two inclinations, the one brute and passionate, the other intellectual and human. The latter is developed through education and is the basis of morality, the intellectual pleasures. When people have obtained higher ideas and concepts through their education, they will conquer the brutal passions and ignorant nature. Thus, if the individual is bettered physically, mentally, and morally through ed- ucation in his leisure, he becomes a healthier and happier person, is able to have a larger field from which to draw his needs for life and happiness, and is, by his broad- ened outlook, able to appreciate life and the fellowship of men. His education is not only of value to himself but to the world. Through man ' s physical education, he has made himself equal to hold a position; through his intellectual education, he has created a position for himself in which he is interested and thus satisfied. He is not dependent upon society. Mentally, he has developed himself to appreciate knowledge and the cultured and valuable accomplish- ments of the ages. Through this appreciation, he has strengthened himself morally and raised his standards and ideals. Society is made up of individuals; and if they advance to a fuller and more complete life, physically and mentally, society is developed to a fuller and more complete unit. Education, by showing man true knowledge, and recreation, by his creative ex- pression of the learning, have allowed man to accomplish these advancements and progress to these heights, They have, united, become indispensable to each other to create healthier people through physical education and recreation, happier inhabitants through interest in occupations and comfort in position in life, and better citizens by having them independent, appreciative, and moral citizens.

In my leisure, music is my recreation. To me nothing is more thrilling than traveling all over the world by merely turning a tew pages and striking chords. Let us start our journey in the land of wisteria and slant eyes. What could calm and soothe us more peacefully and majestically than to be in a garden watching A Japanese Sunset ; and to hear tiny feet, hidden by graceful kimonos, pattering across an arched bridge to listen to a tender ■wailing love song? Night spreads her diamond-studded skirts over the Orient. And we sleep, drifting on the strains of Liebestraum to a far-away country where plump young Teuton students and soft spoken frauleins fill the air with the music of their Drink to Heidelberg . Then from the gay beer garden, we are whisked to Russia to watch Black Eyes dance to fiery gypsy songs. As the camp fire dies out, leaving its burning coals in the black night, we hear a mother crooning a Russian Lullaby . We stroll through dark forests: and as we round a bend, there under a huge tree, we see a spring of cool tempting water; but when we stoop to drink, we enjoy a picture of a graceful, swan- prowed gondola, and hear the gondolier singing a Venetian Love Song , as he poles his way between the stately old Roman palaces and gorgeous cathedrals. Our boat lazily slides through the dark waters and goes on and on until Ave find ourselves in gay Spain. The cries of black haired senoritas and olive skinned seiiors fill our ears as El Toreador deals the death blow to el toro. The bull fight is over, and we pass a balcony from which comes the glimmer of a white mantilla and the tinkle of a guitar. Somehow, the bell-like tones of the instrument and the full, creamy moon take us back to the days of the Louises in France, with their delicate Pompadoures and Antoinettes swaying and dipping in rhythm with Amaryllis . The fair French ladies change to dark skinned Persians, bending and twisting as a white- turbaned snake charmer plays his horn in a Persian Market . One of the caravans leaving the hot, sutcry market-place takes us out to the Sahara where -n-e rock along on the back of a softly padded camel in the blinding, beating, sun, seeing nothing but shimmering sand and dancing heat waves until we come to a Well in the Desert . Here we clamber down and rest in the shade till we are half asleep, and our home- sickness takes us back to America, where we lie under a pungent pine tree and listen to the Waters of Minuetonka as they rush and leap to the brown rocks below. We look up into the tree, hundreds of feet high, and we gaze at its thousands of mates; we smell its pure, clean odor, rest on the soft bed its brown foliage makes for us, and then we realize that Only God Can Make a Tree . The sound of the water splashing and playing takes on the steady beat of the breakers as they pound with all their might or lazily roll up and deposit their pearls of foam on the cool, damp sand. Then At Dawning , the cock wakes us; and we find chat in our leisure we have been around the world; we have seen people in all their moods; we have traversed deserts, canals, oceans, and rivers, merely by turning pages and striking keys. Of course, we had to learn to strike the right keys; but what a pleasant journey this knowledge permits us to enjoy, and how happy a way to spend one ' s leisure. ANNA WALLIS.

Los Angeles High School always has supported generously the publication of the Semi-Annual. Prom the BIO to the A12 term, the boys and girls add to their file of year books with interest. These Semi-Annuals serve as records of events, achievements, and personages of high school life. To each Roman, these volumes become a treasure of valuable memories of happy days and friendships. Ail-American honors have been awarded to the Semi- Anmial; the Southern California Student Press Association gave first place to the Summer ' 33 edition. This year, the Winter ' 34 Class published this edition with the theme, the Worthy Use of Leisure. Miss Grace Lavayea and Miss Inez Hodge were the Faculty sponsors.

Athletics of all sorts were hoosted in the sports page, ably run by Sam Goldstein with the assistance of Dick Thrush. Girls ' sports, under Nan Bruuaugh, played a more important part in the making up of the paper than heretofore. Herbert Walters and Jack Reed took care of the feature page. Joe Birnbaiim, a B12, initiated a column of shorts on the back page which was eagerly read by L. A.ites.

It not only provides them with interesting material for out- side reading or class work, but it also affords them an opportunity to make a practi- cal use of their knowledge of Spanish by writing articles in Spanish for this paper, which is published every two weeks. El Romano still remains the only student Spanish paper published in the high schools of this city.

Now for the thirteenth year, the Xuntius, Latin paper not only for the Los Angeles High School but for most of the junior and senior high scliools in California as well, has aided materially in enlivening Latin classes with its jokes and stories, its crossword puzzles and Greek column, and its accounts of Roman life and customs. From reading Caesar alone, the average pupil is likely to consider the Roman a mixture of verbs, ut clauses and military tactics: but from the Nuntius, he learns of a powerful civilization two thousand years old, yet startlingly like our own world of today, of a Republic whose government faced the same problems our government faces today but which solved them or failed to solve them centuries ago. A new world opens up with whole libraries of absorbing books to fill one ' s leisure hours ■with a priceless lore as enthralling as any of the stories of lesser worth with which boys and girls are accustomed to fill their spare time. If the readers cannot wholly confess to this influence, the staff at least owes many hours of delightful reading, as well as an awakened interest in Roman history that will far outlast the actual time spent on the Nuntius, to this term ' s work under the aid and encouragement of Dr. Edwards. 109 Selhool Motto Obedience to law, Respect for others, Mastery of self, Joy in service ; These constitute life.

Poetry Clmilb Sponsor: Mrs. Snow Longley Housh The theme of Poetry Club has always been the worthy use of leisure time, which is well interpreted by the writing of poetry. The club, which was founded about eight years ago, is, although small, one of the school ' s most enthusiastic groups. Poetry Club has no officers, but the members take turns in officiating as chairman.

It is science that accounts for this constant growth of leisure; and as Von Baer expresses it. Science is in its source, eternal; iu its scope, immeasurable; in its problem, endless; in its goal, unattainable. Thus the leisure time of the members of this organization has been put to good use in a little study to understand the mysteries of science.

This society forms a connecting link between the graduates and the school they cherish long after commencement. When the Star and Crescent Society was first organized, it included all the stu- dents attending the school. Later, the school became larger, and first the ninth grade; and then the tenth and eleventh grade students were excluded from the Society. At present, all the students having completed the ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades are considered members of the Star and Crescent Society. The officers represent each class of the upper grades. The president is elected from the A12 ' s; the vice-president, from the B12 ' s; the secretary from the All ' s; and the treasurer from the Bll ' s. The names of the members of the W ' 34 class will be placed on the books of this oldest society in the history of the school. When this class graduates, the members of the class will automatically become a part of this fine old society, and they will be justly proud of the honor thus bestowed upon them. 123 MUSIC r A CapptUa Singer .a A CappeMa Clhoir President: Ben Brown Manager: Calverton Coles Secretary: Dixie Noble Librarians: Shirley Allen Carol Hover Director: Miss Verna C. Blythe In the past few years, there has been a great revival of A Cappella singing. Since the founding of Los Angeles High ' s A Cappella, two years ago, our group has de- rived great enjoyment and developed a better appreciation of good music. The mem- bers have found in A Cappella literature a new and educational study for their leisure time. From this organization, many graduates have gone into more advanced musical groups at college and church. This term, the A Cappella Choir has sung for the Christmas and Vesper programs and for the El Camino Real Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Dominant Club.

A life career in music is often inspired by the practice gained in small or large group singing at the school. In work or in play, music reigns supreme in its enjoyment, relaxation, and the beauty it adds to the outside world.

Middle row: : Sandberg, Pogerelsky, Galiforeia Selholarslhip Fedeiraitioe Membership in the California Scholarship Federation is the highest scholastic honor a high school student can attain. To reach this goal, a student must make Periclean grades for four semesters, one of which must be in his senior year. Many C. S. F. ' s make Periclean grades every term. Each term, an assembly is held in which these students receive their C. S. F. pins from the principal in behalf of the Student Body. The C. S. F. pin is the only high school pin allowed on a college campus. The sponsor of this organization selected Marnetta Clark, Winter ' 34 C. S. F., as C. S. F. secretary. Following are the students who were C. S. F. ' s at the beginning of the A12 term: Charles Cochard, Marnetta Clark, Rilly Duncan, Robert Holt, John Masson, Shirley Johnston, Mildred Sandberg, Irene Stilson, Mary Want, Bud Wheeler, Margaret Wood- ard, Cooper Davis. Those -who ll be C. S.

Thus we have endeavored to have more social activities so that the Pericleans might be- come better acquainted. The membership this term totals two hundred and fifty of whom one hundred and twenty are all A students, almost half of the total number. The first meeting of the society this term was in the form of a breakfast held in the school cafeteria on Blue and White day. A clever skit on the hour periods, written and directed by Betty Voorheis and acted by Roberta Pelton. Harmony Han- shue. John Baida, Stanley Fink, and Murray Small, was presented and was so thor- oughly enjoyed by all that we have decided to establish this as a Periclean tradition. Just before Thanksgiving, we held an informal afternoon dance, which was also most successful and enjoyable. Admittance was by Periclean card. The music was furnished by a ten piece orchestra whose leader, Fred Plotkin, is one of our Pericleans. The Junior Pericleans were the guests for the happy afternoon. 134 Jmieior Feiricleae President: Jack White Vice-president: Olive Freeman Secretary: Florence Teplin Treasurer: Etta Sugarman Sponsors: Miss Mabel L.

Hoeor School lespectioe On March 1, 1933, the Reserve Officers ' Training Corps of the Los Angeles High School went through the usual inspection; and later in the term, our alma mater was designated as an Honor School for the eighth consecutive time. This record has never been equalled by any other school in the Ninth Corps Area. Colonel J. G. Pillow, inspector for the Ninth Corps Area, judged the proficiency of the battalion on the basis of the first, second, and third year subjects and the ap- pearance and drill of the companies. The first and second platoons of Company A formed a war strength platoon and executed extended order drill while Companies B and C, composed entirely of new recruits, executed physical, squad, and platoon drill. In each company, every man was responsible for his equipment and rifle w hile in the Band, the men were responsible for their equipment and their instruments. Major Hewes Crispin, who commanded the Battalion at the time of the inspection, deserves great credit for the splendid performance of the unit and also for the high standards the men attained and held for the remainder of the semester. All of the officers and men of the R. O. T. C. fully appreciate the opportunity of working under the expert guidence of Colonel John J. Mudgett, who is so extremely successful in building strong characters. 137 ,Wi. F,rM,,ck ColuncI Jul,,, . . , Iuductl Milkary The Reserve Officers ' Training Corps of Los Angeles HIgli School has great reason to be proud, not only because the unit has been designated as an Honor School for the eighth consecutive time, but also because the members have three fine military heads to govern them. Colonel John J. Mudgett has been with the R. O. T. C. at L. A. for thirteen years; and all during this time, he has held the respect of every man that has ever entered the unit, and has raised the standards of the unit so high that no other school has been able to equal them. The excellent appearance of the uniforms and rifles is due to the supervision of Sergeant Lawson, who also has charge of the rifle range, and who assists Colonel Mudgett. Our excellent band is under the direction of Mr. Frederick, who is a master of music. He has developed a strong organization, and we think it is the finest band we have ever had. It enters into com- petition with the companies each month for the Officers ' Club streamer. Near the end of the term, there are many other competitions, such as the squad and platoon drill, the manual of arms, and saber contests. During the semester, there are two opportunities to win the highly esteemed Proficiency Medal, once in the middle, and again at the end. The men having the highest grades in their respective groups are the winners of this medal. As described in the National Defense Act, the object of the R. O. T. C. is not to train our young men for war. but to prepare them to discharge more efficiently their duties as citizens. Our unit has had its share of success in fulfilling this mission. 139 m STAFF Major Richard D.

The gentlemen who constitute our stalT are not only of the highest character but are also regular fellows. L. A. is proud of the number of championships it has won in all lines of sports. These championships have been due largely to fine coaching. The main factors which our coaches stress are brains, speed, aggressiveness, and the old L. A. fight.

H.) was another shifty halfback. He ran with his knees around his chin nuicli to the dis- tress of would-be tacklers. EUGENE HARRIS (160-L. G.) was a light but scrappy eleventh grader. He was noted for running down under punts. He literally got into the receiver ' s hair. e- ( l r jiJ0 i y-LyK.£2 LOUIS BROOKS (173-T) was a big boy who could stay right there ■with the best of tackles. He could take punishment as well as dish it ouc. i - 3.t ■.« JOHN BAIDA (155-F.) was the plung- ing fullback, not only on the offense, but on the defense as well. Johnny was the nucleus of the team. All L. A. doffs its hat to this grid star, who leaves such stirring memories. EDWARD GARNIER (ISS-R. T.) broke his hand early in the season and was hin- dered no little, but he came thru with the same fight and charge he displayed as a tenth grader to play bang-up foot- ball. GUuriA-dr c SID SCHWARTZ 1135-C) was the lightest and one of the brainiest m en on the squad. Sid gave the opposing line- men a thirty pound edge, and still knocked them around. ,.ii - j«X . J : vM «r- -j DON FERGUSON (155-R. H.) was the blocking half. He also carried the ball on L. A. ' s famous reverse play. Fer- guson typifies the L. A. fight, brains, and speed that win the ball games. U-yf-eAA BUTCH BROSSEAU (1S5-E) was one of L. A. ' s best tackles or ends. Butch charged hard and fast. The team will miss this player very much. 4 ' i HARRY KNAPP (150-E) played his second year with the varsity. He was very fast and will see much service next year. DON BEESON (160-Q) was the youngy- man that sent the pigskin soaring to new heights. Besides kicking, he had the knack of cutting down the opposition. ytyco ??7 ROSS CAIRNS (170-R. G.) is a fellow who really worked his way to the top. He showed the coaches he had the stuff, and he came thru with flying colors. GIL PFEIFFER (150-L. H.) was the passer of the team. He had the ability to throw the pigskin while under fire. He packed the ball very well also. JACK BANTA (160-F.), another tenth grader, will come back to smack into op- posing lines for two more years. Jack was right on the spot when needed. K a ZtS HARVEY ADAMS (160-P) was a very able player who could crack the line and punt with the best in the league. ' i !P Ul ' )-? ' JACK HAY (150-R. E.) had played two years with the varsity, and he certainly finished his grid career in fiine style. He was strong in all departments. f4j s X ' 3? -T _ ilL CASPAR (206-C.) was a mam- moth tenth grader who helped bolster j. A. ' s line a great deal. Phil can pick em up and lay ' em down with the best of them. JOHN CHAL.MERS (155-R. II.) tame up from B to show the varsity some real ability. He was a very elusive back who gave the opponents no end of worry. Int r ca-C -f -e ' - ' BILL COWELL {162-G) was the blond haired Apollo to look upon, but the other team thought he was Hercules to get out of a play. iMiScu jil Wa 153 o • V Ferguson rounds left end for a touchdown ILo Ao T§o After a strenuous session with many scrimmages whicli resulted in victories over Beverly Hills and Fremont in practice tilts, the Los Angeles High Romans opened their regular season by kicking off to the Hollywood Sheiks. L. A. took the first quarter to get warmed up; but once under way, the boys turned on the heat and romped to a 14-0 victory. The Romans ' first tally came at the opening of the second quarter when Chalmers took the ball on a well shielded reverse, moved around his own right end, broke out into the clear, and ran forty-eight yards to cross the goal line unmolested. Expert blocking by his mates eliminated challenging Hollywood players around the fifteen- yard line. After the touchdown, Beeson promptly sent the pigskin sailing between the uprights, making the score 7-0. In the third session, a pass from Pfeiffer to Hay. good tor twenty-six yards, put the ball on the Sheiks ' four-yard line. Pfeiffer circled his left end for the score on the next play untouched. Beeson converted again. Two other L. A. tallies were nullified by penalties on the Romans during the contest. Penalties proved very annoying to the L. A.ites; but all were forgotten with the tide of victory. 154 Baida and his interference start fast Lo Ao v§o Jelfifeirsoe The seconci game of the season found L. A. invading the Jefferson Democrats with little success as the 7-7 score indicates. The first quarter found both teams display- ing great offensive strength witli little defense. Jefferson lost their first chance to score in the second period when O ' Neil fumbled on L. A. ' s 6-yard line to have Garnier recover. Beeson kicked out of danger, and the halt ended a few plays later. The second half had barely started before the Romans had the ball on the Jef- ferson 11-yard mark. The ball was brought to that point by two slick passes from Gil Pfeiffer, one to Weil and the other to Knapp. Baida and Pfeiffer carried it to the 1-yard line from which point the latter scored. Hanta passed to Ferguson for the con- version. A Democrat intercepted an L. A. pass and rambled to the Romans ' 2S-yard line. In four plays, O ' Neil carried the ball over for the score, which he followed with a con- version. In the fourth quarter, both teams made desperate attempts to score; but both were checked at the crucial moment, so the game ended L. A. 7; Jefferson 7. 155 1 o N 1 o « — UastrcUcr jjai-A-iiiy ((ii; .u a,.,,,,,,! , „,( „,;,i,iis Pofy Lo Ao v§o Roosevelt The Rough Riders from Roosevelt High invaded Housh Field to hold the Romans to a scoreless tie, 0-0. The sons of Rome outplayed the Rough Riders the first half, but the tables were very definitely turned in the second half. In. the second quarter, L. A. took the ball on the 40-yard stripe, and as a result of finely execuced passes brought the ball to the 10-yard marker. This spurt was soon nullified, however, when a pass was thrown over the goal, giving the Teddies possession of the pigskin on their own 20-yard line, out of danger. In the second period, the Rooseveltians, led by Cantor and Novah smashing the line, carried the ball deep into L. A. territory many times. The linemen rose to meet the hard knocks at the goal line to keep Roosevelt boys from putting it over. On that day, the Blue and White team did not typify the usual Los Angeles High team, because the necessary fight, brains, and endurance were lacking to come through with the long end of the score. This may have been because of the hard pounding received the week before at the hands of the Jefferson Democrats. 153 Lo Ao Y§o Los Angeles feasted on the Poly Parrots to the tune of 3!-0 before 20.000 fans at the Coliseum for the sake of charity in the traditional Big Game . Old L. A. fight, blocking, and speed were reasons for such a score. In two minutes. L. A. had scored when Brosseau blocked a Poly punt and recovered on the 1-yard line. Then Raida carried it over for the score. Beeson converted. Touchdown number two also resulted from a blocked kick which Brooks recovered on the Mechanics ' 27-yard line. Baida made a first down; then Pfeiffer scored from the 1-yard stripe. Beeson failed to make the extra point. The next Roman tally, number three, came on a 95-yard run by Hastreiter. He circled his own right end, with Beeson and Baida cutting the secondary, and proceeded to outrun two following Mechanics, making the score 19-0. Beeson added the extra point. L. A. ' s fourth touchdown came on a bullet-like pass from Beeson to Ferguson after a drive from the Romans ' 35-yard line. Beeson converted. Touchdown number five was another blocked kick, this time by Baida, who pounced on the ball on Poly ' s 10-yard line, and another pass to Chalmers, who caught the ball in the end zone. Pfeiffer added the last point. Johnny Baida was the leader of this Roman band, which celebrated a real Roman holiday at the expense of the Mechanics from Polytechnic. Every man on the team played heads up football and was in there fighting all the time. 157 o A m F_erguson snags a pass and dashes for a touchdown Lo Ao v§o Grabbing a lead of three touchdowns in the first lialf, tlie Los Angeles High team won easily over Belmont, 25 to 7. The Romans flashed a brilliant aerial attack in the first two periods and played heads up football that gave them a decided ad- vantage at half time. L. A. scored on the third play of the game when Pfeiffer flipped a 22-yard pass to Hay, who ran the remaining 20 yards to cross the goal line. The Romans scored again in the first period when Fergusan on a reverse drove 20 yards off tackle for a touchdown. Beeson added the extra point. The Blue and White team tallied another touchdown in the second period. A blocked Hilltopper punt was snatched up by Brosseau, who ran 40 yards for the score. L. A. ' s scoring ended when Ferguson picked off Hastreiter ' s pass and ran 50 yards down the field with fine interference from Gasper. Belmont scored in the fourth session; Mont- apert went over for the tally from the 1-foot line. Carol converted for them. This game was a Roman holiday. 158 r Jieison sends the pigskin thru the uprights II Q X t: V§c John Baida was the spark plug of the Los Angeles High machine which pounded out a 25-0 win over Franklin. Johnny, who scored three touchdowns, was the lead- ing ground gainer; and he did noble work in backing up the line to end his football career at L. A. gloriously. The Romans tallied early in the first quarter when Baida plunged over from the ■4-yard line. Franklin outplayed L. A. the remainder of the first half, but the begin- ning of the second saw a different Blue and White team. Baida found a hole at left tackle and did not stop running until he had crossed the Franklin goal line 50 yards away. A pass, Hastreiter to Ferguson, accounted for the one point. The next score resulted from a 60-yard march down the field with Pfeifter do- ing most of the ball packing and running the ends. Baida drove over from the 6-inch line for the 6 points. An intercepted pass on the Panthers ' 30-yard marker gave the Romans their last chance to tally. Adams featured the drive arid went over for the score from ihe 2-foot stripe. This game ended the scoring in the 1933 league. L. A. made an enviable record by completing the season without a single defeat. Many injuries retarded the team at times, but the splendid personnel and the spirit of the individual members triumphed. L. A. is verj ' proud of the undefeated Roman team of 1933. 159 Left to right.

This team besides using opponent ' s form- ations and plays against the varsity did well to win as it did. The experience given the boys on the team will prepare many of them for fucure varsity positions. In the main game, L. A. humbled the Parrots 25-0 to nearly duplicate the varsity ' s success. Dave Crow and Altman were co-captains and took care of center and guard. Ellis and Gold were the regular ends while Lindstrom and Roberts held the ' cackle posts. Splane teamed with Altman for the guard positions. Waters, Hoffman, McGre ' w, and Maher made the regular backfield. The rest of the squad consisted of Margolin, Mandel, Clare, Kemp. Johnson, Barker, Cowan, Bradbury, Rose, and Swedlowe.

' O Indications of a future championship varsity seem evident as the Bees composed chiefly of tenth and eleventh graders finished third in the city league race. These men, under the tutelage of coach Bert La Brucherie, played some very fine football. Title hopes, however, were dispelled by an undefeated Belmont team which passed its way to a 12-6 victory and the 12-12 tie with Poly. Bernard Voll, lifhtning end, as in all games this year, was the mainstay on offense. His end around was good for at least a touchdown every game. Guffin holding the other flank did almost as well on defense. Jack Behr and Olson were the fine tackles who strengthened che line considerably. Captain Kat Okida and Ray Kemp were the small hut mighty guards. Van Trees was center. The backfield which ac- counted for plenty of yardage was composed of Bunt, Bobby Beeson, Thor Madsen, Don Leahy, and Bill Christy. Other members of this squad were Oehrlin, Rimpau. Miller, Dolson. Davis, Reilly, Clampett. Johnson, Ward, Singer, Shelton, Friedman, Grossman, Asadorian, Hoover, Ruess, MacDonald, Hoisch, Pitt, Clark.

A. appreciates the fine work of coaches Jesse Miller and Jaclv Richards, who turned out such an unusually strong second squad-B team. Besides scrimmaging Mr. La Brucherie ' s lightweights, Miller and his men had time to win two out of two games, defeating Loyola bees 12-0, and Fairfax second string lightweights 6-0. The men on this team were: centers Fahn, Gould; guards Munzer, Delmue; tackles Seeman, Nance, and Cohen; ends Sparks, Peck, Rosen, Cogdell, and Munson; hacks Tampkin, Smith, Dutterman, Pritchard, Carlyle, and Fulmer. Special credit should be given the team and coaches, for this was one of the best second team squad bees L. A. has had for some time.

The midgets beat opponents who had trounced Manual and Fairfax when they overwhelmed Belmont H-0 and Hollywood Jr. Bees 14-0. The returning letterman. Zuckerman. changed from end to quarter, and with his knowledge of the plays was constantly a great treat. He was ably assisted in the backfield by Matsurtiato, Maljan. and Tobias. The line was composed of Wayland and captain O ' Neill at end, May and Hinds at tackles, Kizer and Stein at guards, Mast and Collette at center. Lili Gonzales was the experienced assistant coach.

Hopes were strengthened with Ernie Mathew ' s great running ability and his season ' s performance. Joe Wehrly and Bill Jamieson, who are new to the team, are top-notch runners. Those who have helped win for Los Angeles are: Mathews, Wehrly, Krog, Jamieson, Luchsinger, Dessens, Earl, and Nielson. This year, Hollywood and Fairfax took a beating from our cross-country team while Los Angeles lost close decisions to Poly and Roosevelt. Los Angeles met Venice, Marshal, Beverly, and U. C. L. A. Frosh in one meet and won the meet decisively. A good showing is expected from the team in the City and Southern Claifornia meets.

These four returning men will have to battle for their positions even though they have a year ' s experience on the other players. The men coming up from the Cee team, besides the usual tenth grade turn out, look unusually good and should provide plenty of action for positions on the team. From last years C team are: Smith and Macklin; other members of the squad are; Coss, Tukuyama, Goalieb. Humes, Root, and Stanton. Miller is a very capable manager. The Class C team, coached by .VI Hartscherer, former varsity basketball player, has shown great possibilities in practice games. With only one letterman returning, Al Bartscherer has formed a smooth working combinaton. The letterman that is back from last year ' s team is Tannebaum.

Don McDevitt, Jim Thickstuu, and Ross Neesley are all small; but they put the rallies over with a big bang. They sent the students ' away full of fervor and enthusiasm for their old alma mater. Don has been our yell king for the past three terms, and pep enthusiasts regret very much his leaving the institution. He has worked hard at his position; and his zealous manner will have its effect upon L. A. tor many terms to come. His able assistants, Jim Thickstun and Bob Neesley, have supported Don in a very earnest and efficient manner. The first basketball rally for many terms was held under the leadership of our yell leaders this year. This rally was indeed a success for the L. A. students packed their side of the bleachers the following week, giving the team plenty of sup- port with enthusiastic yelling. This term is now history, yell leaders and all. But we hope the future holds a similar crop of dynamic young pep-rousers for this school. 1 m. m f f l m lA ' r J HI !

Archery is also being used advantageously as a means of hunting and securing food while on expeditions into uncivilized parts of the world. This sport is acknowledged as one of the best methods of attaining concentration and perfect control of mind, muscle, and eye. It is proving advantageous to young and old because it is one of the few sports in which people can participate when more strenuous ones cannot be enjoyed.

THE KNIOR SAYS ' Ck§§ Will To our beloved successors, to be retained as a keepsake in fond memory of their illustrious forerunners, we, the select herd of hiem thirty-four, existing with un- impaired body and hopeful, incorrupt, unbiased, and unhampered mind, do hereby submit our last will and testament. We leave to our evident inferiors, our power and efficiency in the leadership of the school in feeble hope that they might in a small degree approach our unmeasur- able height of perfection. Cooper Davis, with all sincerity , leaves his flowery vernacular to the incoming prexy of Rome. Sid Schwartz bequeaths his ability to play practical jokes on innocent Board mem- bers to Phil Amis. Rose Samuels leaves her ringlets to one Patricia Ann McLellan. James Harding bestows his few idiosyncrasies to Hey Hay. Emily Sedgwick leaves her headaches to the next Board president, who is bound to have them anyway. Henry Kurtzman leaves his long curly eyelashes to any girl who has a Garbo complexion. Kate Corbin commits her never-to-be-forgotten presence in the Senior A office to Peggy O ' Brien. Hank Emerson bequeaths his disagreable mission of picking up pecuni to Jay Marx. Dorothy Wasson imparts her sparkling wit and humor to Winnie Hudson. Richard Harris leaves his extensive height to Bob Lawson, who may need it. Donvel Woodworth Ferguson bestows his ability to run back punts in his unerring manner to a Poly half. Margaret Ellen Woodard imparts her Senior A write-ups to any one who will read them. Audrey Deadeye Dunn leaves her basket shooting ability to Carolyn Strauss. Irene Boppo Stilson deposits her heavenly endurance for waiting around in the various offices of the principals on the chosen one of next term ' s Annual staff. Victor Seliger leaves the racket of the Blue and White Daily office to Bob Under- wood to improve his tennis game. Shirley Johnston bestows her undying faithfulness and patience in dealing with her difficult but willing staff to Virginia Case, the next Annual editor. Bud Wheeler imparts his blissfully innocent countenance to Butch Brousseau. Rolland Hastrieter deposits his golden tresses on any Senior Bee peroxide. Bob Walker leaves his 230 pounds of crisco to Bob Zonne. John Baida bequeaths his dependability in the backfield to the one who merits the distinction. To our sponsors, Miss Adams and Miss Champion, we give our heartiest con- gratulations for having weathered the storm with such a class as ours. With a final gasp, we the Winter Class of ' 34 disappear from the halls of Rome; but our memory shall forever remain in [he glorious annals of Roman history. Witnesses: The Three Little Pigs The Big Bad Wolf Signed: HENRY KURTZMAN, president KATHERINE CORBIN, vice-president DOROTHY WASSON, secretary HENRY EMERSON, treasurer Tlhe Sole Siuiirvavoir As all good staffs have gone before, The Staff of Winter Thirty-four Is murmuring in its watery grave, A fate its aptness could not save. But this alone was not the cause Of downfall to our many friends. With N. R. A. ' s new codes and laws. Our staff was driven to such ends. Dear Shirley sailed right out to sea, A better captain could not be. She piloted our staff along. And met her end with triumph ' s song. Assisting Shirley on the cruise, And only second in command, Irene a little weight did lose, Still working, took her final stand. Our gallant purser, able Bill, Of money worries had his fill. He balanced budgets day and night, Accounting for his sorry plight. And standing duty trrough the fog Are Ellen Holt and Joyce as well. Compiling pages for our log, They, working till exhausted, fell. Now Harmony and Humor fair— They weathered through a friendly pair. She made us laugh until the end ; A sense of humor proved her friend. While Constance did her sailor ' s part. Assisted by artistic Kate, By editing elusive art. Until they met their briny fate. More tragedy upon the deep. Now Peg and her assistants sleep. They earned their rest and went below. By writing ditties apropos. The sponsor of the ship ' s contest For writers of scholastic tame Was Kay, who read with eager zest, Until she quite forgot her name. Esther and Ann of photo crew- Have run around with summons blue. They did their very level best, And now are resting with the rest. Both John and Doris sailed along. Enticing girls and boys to grin. They took their pictures of the throng. Till overcome by all its din. Good Audrey pacing on the deck. For girlish sports her life did Wreck. She seemed so strong and keen to see. But now is lost to you and me. Our Donvel won his lasting fame While struggling with the boys ' sport news. He perished with a writer ' s name, And credit which he ' ll never lose. L ' Envoi Miss Lavayea and good Miss Hodge, Who never shirk and never dodge, Are sailing yet upon the sea; Here ' s luck to them from you and me.
