Spiroel President, University of California w FOREWORD The greatness of our nation lies not in its wealth of field and forest, of sea and stream, of mine and manufactory, but in its men and women — not in its physical advantages, but in its human resources. We till the soil. We operate factories. We build railroads. We engage in commerce. We encourage art and science. But these are only a means to an end; to the end that America may produce men and women capable of carrying on the ideals that have guided this nation to greatness; to say it another way, men and women worthy of American citizenship. We Americans have nurtured free public education with an enthusiasm approaching fanaticism because we regarded the American school as a most efficient instrument in pro- ducing such men and women. We have believed that the nation ' s progress and the individual ' s freedom of opportunity were one and inseparable. Therefore, we want our boys and girls to possess ability and character. We want them to be honest, industrious, and self-reliant, endowed with all those virtues which arise from adequate moral and intellectual training. And more and more we look to the schools for this really extraordinary achievement. That in this demand and in our provision for our schools, there is not always the consistency of sweet reasonableness, we are apt to disregard, but the schools carry on. America holds a high place in the world today not al- together because there came into its possession the fabulous resources of an undeveloped continent. Ever abreast of the skilful exploitation of natural wealth, America has kept open to all, the gates of educational opportunity. The teachers in the little red school house and the pioneers of a nation ' s development were close companions always. Where there is trained intelligence and moral fiber, there are the highest qualities of citizenship. There, too, is potential leadership — the greatest resource a people may have, yet a resource that has ever been equal to the demand. Every democracy finds it necessary to provide means for those who have talents so to be disciplined through education as to make them better servants of the people. That is why the State of California has attempted to educate you. You have been taught in order that, in the largest sense, you shall make return in public service. To you, both the State and Nation have been more than generous. From you, they have the right to expect an active service and a loyal devotion. At this moment, your generation is potentially the greatest of their resources. America is counting upon you. See that you fail it not. ROBERT G.

The development of each age in American history has depended more upon the courage, the mental attitude, and the spiritual ideals of men and women than upon economic conditions. The faith of our Pilgrim Fathers has done more to make America a great nation than all the inventions of the Age of Technocracy. Individual initiative, determination, and a zeal for justice are as important now as they were in the pioneer days of the Forty-Niners in our own California. The New Deal must be a square deal in which truth and justice shall prevail. In the development of good government, every citizen has a duty to perform. The challenge for good government is vital today because all citizens realize the tremendous difficul- ties through which America is now passing. Your parents and your teachers have faith in your integrity, in your honor, and in your high ideals. We know that you are now preparing yourselves for active citizen- ship so that the America of the next generation will render more valued service to civilization than the America of the present generation. Our best wishes go with you. jg hse fourli Miss Wolv©rtoim 9 § Message To the Winter Class of 1935— Greetings: You who represent the human resources on which our nation ' s future depends, you the more privileged because of your high school education, think well what kind of leadership you are about to offer to your country. For leaders you must be, whether of small groups, your relatives or neighbors, or of thousands. The problems of our times grow in complexity. Shall we surrender to Fascism because of increasing mental and moral atrophy in our individual citizens? To Bolshevism because of psychopathic un- balance in those same citizens? Or shall we retain our loyalty to the ideal of dem- ocratic government, which inevitably de- pends for its success upon the enlightened activity of earnest individual citizens? You will have your part in the decision. Sincerely your friend, Vice-principal Sarah Fobs Wolverton Mr, N©M© 9 § Messaii© To the Winter Class of ' 35: We give honors to the most brilliant scholars, cups to our winning orators, medals to our swiftest runners, and we make heroes of those whose courage has been tested in combat. We are sorry that we have no way of measuring the abilities of many hundreds of others who have tried and have given their very best in every activity that pre- sented itself and who deserve equally as much as the winners. I hope that the Winter Class of ' 35 will go on into other walks with that kind of an attitude — not merely to strive to gain honor or to win, but to work to the limit of their capacity, both mental and physical, regard- less of the outcome.

That is the keynote to the efforts of the Graduating Class of W ' 35. Throughout this entire term, a great many changes and advancements have gone into effect which have benefited the entire school. A great many of these new methods are entirely experimental, but they have been met with such success, that in years to come they will undoubtedly be known as traditions. The first week of this semester saw a much more simplified method of distributing books. Henceforth, the recitation teachers themselves will have charge of giving out the desired books to their classes. Along with this improvement came the news of a new method of registration for entering students. By the proposed plan, programs of high school work will be sent to the junior high schools after Christmas vacation. In this manner, new students from junior high will not have to suffer the confusion of making out their programs after enrolling in high school. This semester not only saw fine curricular betterments but also a higher standard of entertainment. The first major program of the school was the Girls ' League Con- vention. At this convention, held for the girl student heads and sponsors of 100 neighboring and outlying high schools, a greater understanding of the work of different high schools was reached. The following week, a program was presented in behalf of the largest charity campaign of the year, the Community Chest. Many radio stars of nation-wide fame gave their time and talent to this very successful presentation. In the same spirit of charity, our drama class presented a play to raise funds for the Christmas gifts for our several adopted elementary schools. This production brought to light latent talent, and much favorable comment was given to the cast for their efforts. Ranking as one of the most impressive rituals of our semester, Armistice Day was recognized in our school by a ceremony of the R. O T. C. unit on Housh Field and another in our auditorium. At that time, the R. O. T. C. unit was presented with a gold cup won for excellence in drill at the coliseum. The Faculty was successful in choosing Mrs. Mary B. Wallace, who gave exceptionally inspiring talks to all the girls and the senior boys of our school on subjects of personal importance. Following these lectures, the next offering of importance was the much renowned and enjoyed Senior Vaudeville. .lust before vacation, the very beautiful and colorful Christmas program was offered in which many departments of the school were represented. Talent alone has not flowered this term at L. A.; but also our campus has literally bloomed. When this, the oldest high school in the city, was first established on its present location, the campus proper offered a very barren aspect; but judging from the present growth, it would seem that a magic wand had been waved over our grounds. Of most recent development is the ground to the southwest of our playing field. This section now offers one of the most charming spots on our campus, lending the atmos- phere of a young forest of many types of trees thriving within our crowded city. The spirit of new changes and experimentation has been one of the dominating factors of this semester ' s work. Carrying out these principles, the officers of the honorary city-wide seciety, Ephebian, have decided to change their requirements. This term, the citizenship and character of the candidates will be stressed more than ever. The scholarship requirements will merely be the grades sufficient for acceptance in a college or university. The merit record of the student must be above ninety. The number of members has remained the same, namely, one student to every forty in the graduating class. This year, the students ' vote for the candidates and the Faculty ' s vote will be added at the same value of the pupils ' plebecite. For many years, the misinformed have believed that to be in a winter graduating class was just an unconquerable misfortune. They believed that the winter graduates did not have the spirit, scholarship, or social activities as do the summer students. If ever, this term has disproved that belief. Many more social activities and enter- tainments have taken place, and the number of honor students and California Scholar- ship Federation members have increased measurably. The Student Body as a whole has given co-operation to the Faculty in making this a very successful term. The four hundred and five graduating students of the Class of W ' 35 are proud to have culminated their high school careers in such a period of progressiveness and better- ment for their alma mater. VAN CRAIG Business manager twenty STUDENT 6 ,1 A John Montoya Pre§M©eit 9 § Message Our generation must advance and create more than any other age since time be- gan. Let each of us of the 3875 students of Los Angeles High School, who are only a small part of the youth of America, make use of the valuable and unlimited human resources we have, in order that our generation may progress still farther than those preceding ours. Students, now, are being taught and trained by the most modern and scientific methods that man has ever devised. Such men as Pasteur, Marconi, and Edison be- came internationally famous in a generation which is considered far below ours in educational opportunity. Therefore, with the examples of these men before us, and with the educational advantages we are offered, shall not we, the youth of America, be equal to the task of taking control of the government, business, commerce, and education, and also of developing and creating masterpieces in the fine arts that we may make America a greater nation than it is now? The graduates of our colleges form a group which is a source of supply for the future great men of America who will lead our country out of the dark pits of the depression. The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow. We may have the train- ing and the ability to be leaders, but will we take advantage of our opportunity? Opportunity. What a world of meaning there is in that word! Our fathers and fore- fathers had had very few opportunities for scholarship. On the other hand, the schools of America present hundreds of avenues for advancement to the youth of today. Let us, then, grasp these opportunities, and do with them all we can to better America. Speaking of opportunities, Romans, I want to pour out to each and every one of you the gratitude that is in my heart for the opportunity of serving Los Angeles High School. Throughout the term, I have received from you fine co-operation and the real Roman spirit, which have helped to make the semester of W ' 35 a success. With deepest sincerity, JOHN MONTOYA 1 1 i ni ii-l a a Division Presidents 9 Messages During our stay at Los Angeles High School, we seniors have had many oppor- tunities for true development offered to us. Knowing that our advantages here will never be paralleled, we leave with the hope that we have used them well. I am sin- cerely grateful to you for the wonderful privilege you have given me to be of ser- vice to you this term. BETTY LEABO The true wealth and resources of Amer- ica lie in its youth, from whom must come the leadership needed to carry out the plans for an ideal country. May we apply the teachings and the knowledge obtained at Los Angeles High School to the end that we may possess this needed leadership. Your friend, H. DEAN OLSEN Board Presidents 9 Messages Leadership is one of the most important of human resources, and high school life offers opportunity for the development of this ability. Here a true leader is able to follow as well as to guide. Therefore, let us possess true leadership by following the dictates of our country ' s ideals, and by extending these ideals still farther to others in America. BARBARA DAVIES During this past term, I have derived much pleasure and gained valuable exper- ience through my work with the Boys ' Senior Board. Many friendships have been made that shall prove of importance and true worth in later life. May I at this time thank you for your co-operation and friend- liness.

Boys ' Senior Board president; and Barbara Davies, Girls ' Senior Board president. The duty of these officers is to act as a jury in cases where a girl is turned in by the Boys ' Senior Board or a boy by the Girls ' Senior Board.

This Board, which acts as an impartial jury, holds trials each week at which the girls who have been turned in by Board mem- bers for breaking school regulations present their cases to the jury. This term, the group has en- deavored through fairness and friendly advice to gain the confidence and co-operation of the girls to make the personnel of Los Angeles High the finest possible. The members of the Board feel that their efforts have been repaid, for they have re- ceived splendid co-operation from the girls of the Student Body.

Working to create a cordial understanding between the boys of the Board and the Student Body, the members have made a serious effort to reduce the number of law offenders, and to further prevention, rather than punishment. Each case that is presented has been handled with a spirit of justice and understanding, so that the boys may come to think of the Board as an organization work- ing to help them make a fine record in high school.

Girls 9 Associate Bosiird President: Barbara Davies Chairman: Jeannette Herring Sponsor: Miss Wolverton Since 1926 when the Girls ' Associate Board was organized, there lias been a constant demand for dependable, hard working Associate Board members. The girls, this term, have been exceptionally efficient and highly successful in their activities. The chief duty of the Associate Board is to help in the offices of the scholarship advisers. They also assist the regular Senior Board and do their best to uphold school rules and ideals. This term, the Associate Board was composed of five A12 girls, ten B12 girls, and ten All girls. The president of the Senior Board appoints the members from the A12 and B12 candidates while the All girls are chosen by their class. The members enjoy practically every privilege of the regular Board mem- bers except that of voting at the trials and elections. The returning members of the Board look forward to having equally as efficient members of the Associate Board next term. The members are: Betty Benn, Helen Brown, Margaret Brown, Marion Clemson.

All the boys who are members of the Associate Board have been selected with as much thoughtful care as have the members of the regular Board; and each one is a fine, enthusiastic, and loyal Roman. These members have practically the same powers and privileges as do the regular members. They are allowed to attend meetings and trials. Much credit must be given to these boys for their fine spirit in helping the regular Board to carry out its duties; and with their splendid co-operation, the Senior Board has had a very success- ful term. Because of the large enrollment of our school, the membership of the Associate Board has been increased this term.

Girls 9 Cabinet President: Betty Leabo Vice-president: Barbara Davies Secretary: Elizabeth Herrlein Sponsor: Miss Sarah F. Wolverton The Girls ' Cabinet, which has for its members the various chairmen of the Girls ' Division, for over ten years has been taking an active part in the business of the school. During this term, food and clothing drives have been sponsored by the Santa Fe committee; and scrap books, made by the Philanthropic committee, have been distributed at several orphanages. During the spring term, the Philanthropic a nd Santa Fe committees are combined; but in the fall term, they have separate chairmen to take care of the difficult Christmas work. This term, the House and Grounds committee, because of its large membership, has become an organization independent of the Cab- inet. The work of the semester just closed has been most successful, largely because of the helpful supervision of the sponsor, Miss Sarah F. Wolverton, and the friendly co-operation of the girls of the Cabinet, who are: Betty Leabo, president: Barbara Davies, vice-president; Molly Abbott, Costume committee; Emogene Brede, Hall chair- man; Evelyn Donley. Philanthropic chairman; Elizabeth Fry, Point System chair- man; Elizabeth Herrlein, Door chairman; Paulhine O ' Reilly, Santa Fe chairman; Rachel Reich, Switchboard chairman; Phyllis Rogers, House and Grounds chairman (honorary officer); and Bobbe Walsh, member in the secretary ' s office. thirty Left to right .

Noble The aim of the Boys ' Cabinet of Winter ' 35 has been to create an interest among the boys in all school activities. The Cabinet has endeavored to show the necessity of co-operation and good citizenship, as this is the most important objective in life. It is sincerely hoped that this ideal has been attained and that the Cabinet has helped every boy in Los Angeles High School to become not only a more loyal Roman but also a more helpful citizen to his community and country. The Cabinet is organized to settle the problems of the Boys ' Division under the guidance of Mr. Noble. The president and vice-president are assisted by the chairman of the major committees who are the members of the cabinet. The founders desire that the Cabinet of the future will have even more successful terms. The Boys ' Division president, Dean Olson, is president while the Senior Board head, Kenyon MacDonald, is vice-president.

A. Edwards The largest and most powerful governing body in the Los Angeles High School is the House of Representatives. Its functions, as an executive body, are to discuss and decide upon all bills and measures concerning the Student Body and upon all financial matters in which the money concerned is to be drawn from the treasury of the school. In it is vested complete control over the treasury; and it passes upon an itemized budget at the beginning of each school year and approves any additional expenditures which may be found necessary throughout the semester. It is the only organization in the school which has the power to amend the Constitution of the Student Body. It sponsors no social activities and acts solely as a legislative body. The executive com- mittee of the House consists of the Student Body president, the Division presidents, and the Senior Board presidents. Mr. Fredericks is the treasurer of the school and presents all the financial matters to be acted upon by the House. Dr. Edwards is the very capable sponsor. Since the House of Representatives is such a powerful organization, the responsi- bility lies upon every one of us to elect home room presidents who will be worthy and capable in guiding the destiny of our school.

Friend- liness with the classes with which the Board comes in contact is a fine promoter of sportsmanship among the boys. The Board, under the able sponsorship of Mr. White, has developed into a factor necessary to the smooth functioning of the physical edu- cation department; their duties are to assist the coaches, thus relieving them of many of the details of their work. This co-operation, no doubt, has been instrumental in helping the coaching staff in attaining its present high degree of efficiency. We are hopeful that as the years go on the Board will become even more valuable to the es- sential purpose of physical education.

In addition to the very valuable practical business experience, the successful applicants receive five units in bookkeeping or business practice. This business prac- tice is resourceful, regardless of the nature of human activity the pupil may enter into in later years. Whether a profession, business, or science, all three need some knowledge of sound business procedure. thirty tow ■« 1 Manager: Omar Arnesen Assistant manager : Lewis Pitts Sponsor: Mrs. Esther West Los Angeles High School has one ot the most modern and well equipped cafeterias in Southern California.

Happiness is in our hearts for the pleasant memories gained while in pursuit of more advanced learning within the portals of Los Angeles High School and happiness in the thoughts and expressions of new worlds to conquer in the fields of industry and science. The thought of leaving our alma mater and giving up an active part in high school activities such as Senior A and B debates, contests. Senior Vods, pep rallies, and our Star and Crescent days brings a fuller realization to each of us that our life at Rome is completed. The social events of this term sponsored by the Senior A ' s were greatly enjoyed by the members of the Class. Introduced for the first time were the Senior dances held in the afternoon for the Senior A ' s and B ' s. The Hallowe ' en, Thanksgiving, and Christmas dances, personifying the holiday spirit, proved to be very successful. To Miss Champion and Miss Adams, our sponsors, we express our sincere ap- preciation for the capable leadership and organization they have extended to our class. Because of their patience and loyalty, our Senior A term has been the most successful and enjoyable of our entire school life. forty I ■■•■ i fcfcH T. ' S I-  « •; S W At y ' w?

A Vision I have found God in the way the white sun Stretches down thinly yet surely to one Pale red geranium on the door ledge. I have glimpsed heaven in the white cotton sky Spanning across jagged alleys spire high Like arched ample bridges, firm steel at the edge. Out of the clay of thin sun and white sky I now have fashioned what they cannot buy, I have created a bright happiness, To perch in my heart with a carol so high, I can not hear trolleys and busses go by, But just that clear promise, and doubting grows less. EVELYN DONLEY, S ' 35 lixty-four Miss Grace Champion Miss Lucy Adams Senior A Spoesors The success of the Winter Class of 1935 is largely due to the leadership and guidance of our two sponsors, Miss Grace Champion of the social science department, and Miss Lucy Adams of the mathematics department. Through their aid, every acti- vity of the class has been culminated successfully. Their help was forthcoming in the Senior A and B debate and contest, Star and Crescent exercises and dance, graduation, weekly meetings and other class interests. Not only have they kindly helped in these various activities, but they entered each with a true spirit of co-operation in order to make this, our last terra, a cherished memory. The officers and students of the graduation class join with me in expressing our gratitude and appreciation to these two friends who have so nobly given of their time to be of service to us. As we bid a sad farewell to our senior days, we also bid a fond farewell to these wonderful sponsors. BOB CARLEY, President.

L4i ri ii II W UK seventy-three Tlhe Beam § of treet .1 Bedtime story for Commencement Night (Please note: The characters and action of this little masterpiece have no connection whatsoever with any living person or incident.) — The Author Once upon a time, my cherubs — Lived a gentleman, Jim Jawkins. Red ot pate, with grin infectious Something of a grinning gaw-kins. . . . Anyhoo, he was a lawyer. Scribbling, starving, but uncowed. And, he had a daughter Betty, Simple, stainless, poor and proud. Well, one evening came the landlord, Tilliam Bodd . . . the dour and thin. With his military whiskers, And his chilly heart of tin. . . . And — it seems, he wanted money, Since the mortgage was come due. So when he found there was not any. Till told Jawkins he was through! You will pay me and right quickly. Every piece of gold you owe, Or, without a qualm of conscience, I ' ll put you out in the snow ' . Oh — the night was drearly chilly, Loud the wind was wailing wild, And poor Jawkins had no thought But to save his darling cheeild. Bravely spoke he, bravely smiling. I have not the smallest fear, But that if you come tomorrow, Captain, the money will be here. Sour, the captain slammed off sneering, Leaving Jim to plot and plan. How to save his lovely daughter, Not himself — the noble man! To the tavern lightly tripping Through the snow and sleet and ice. Came the lovely Betty Jawkins, Into warmth of food and spice. In a corner slouched her suitor, Sinking self in liquid graves. . . . She had spurned him for his weakness. The ignoble Graxton Javes. In another, at a table With her fiance from Spain Sat the haughty Barbara Bodd, Plump, well-sheltered from the rain. Quick went Betty to the counter, Rudely did cruel Barbara yawn: Betty ordered buns and fainted When she found her shilling gone. seventy-fow Now the handsome Due Mondoya Loved to do a generous deed, And he leaped up to the rescue Of this maiden, pale, in need. Barbara slighted, Barbara raging. Holding all men her own slaves, Left the tavern, hot with anger On the arm of Graxton Javes. . . . While Juan labored to revive the Lovely Betty, still and white, Suddenly she sprang up lithely, Fleeing weeping in the night. He pursued her with the muffins, In a chase — muddy and mad. But Mondoya could not catch her, So, dripped home, perplexed and sail When poor Betty, soaked and sobbing, Told her father of their loss, He notched up his belt still tighter, Breathing not a comment cross. Shortly, she retired to slumber, While he sat and thought until With a tear, he took his quill-pen, And began to write his will. . . . There was, in an earthen teapot. Fare to freedom by stage coach: This he left, his little pittance, Mourning soft with self-reproach That he had not more to leave her. Thus he wrote — while he did weep. Lo — when he nodded and relaxed. Strange wonders saw he in his sleep. To his dream appeared a vision. Smiling strangely in derision. . . . The Cynic in a beaver bonnet, With three puzzling symbols on it: YESTERDAY-— TODAY— TOMORROW An undertaker ' s crown of sorrow Set on two large, flapping ears. . . . Said he: Jawkins, spare those tears All this was not worth the weeping. You are better far, now, sleeping: If you hold yourself so poor, You had better hear, I ' m sure, What — a future generation, Passing on in congregation — Leave with smiles and honest laughter, To the babes that follow after. . . . In the fleeting of a moment The mad Cynic waved his hand, Then Jawkins beheld a courtroom. Polished, paneled, funereal, grand. Where were droves of vulgar people. . . . Garbed in green and white, to kill. While old Jawkins gaped and marveled. The wise Cynic read a will: We. the Class of Winter ' 35 Being all in serene health alive, As we near our great commencement night. Find it meet, a little will to write. Beine moderately sound and sane. . . . Having trod a long road, we would fain, Inscribe a testament to prick and please The ego of the lowly Senior Bee ' s! seventy-five KENNY McDONALD leaves his insatiable curiosity as to how strange people put strange things in his tightly locked desk in the Student Body office during the past term, to subsequent Board presidents who will probably prove less good natured about similar local mysteries than he. EDNA HALSTEAD bestows her ability to pay her dues in a startlingly short time on ANNE MARTINEAU. JOHNNY PAGE donates that boisterous (? Board authority to JIM GIBSON. BILL JAMIESON leaves his shade haunting Mr. Noble ' s outer office which will never be the same without him. ' FISH ' ' HERRING bequeaths her position of general stooge on the Girls ' Board to HELEN COOPER. VIRGINIA DAVIS imparts her sophisticated slouch to ELEANOR BURESH MONTE FACTOR leaves that exhausted expression to all the young try who will lead the school to a track championship shortly. BUNNY DOLAN bequeaths her hair ribbons to FRANCES BELDEN. CARL GUSTAFSON and LONG JOHN MILLER unite in the donation of some superfluous inches to DON LEAHY, hoping they will be appreciated. PAULHINE O ' REILLY bestows that infinite capacity for devouring practically everything in the hash line to KAY HIGGINS. FLORENCE FOX imparts her phenomenal memory and the ability to salt instead of sugar her first pudding in Home Econ., to FRANCES AUSTIN. MARVIN RUSSELL leaves that blood-chilling laugh that shivered so many spines at grid clashes, to any little Bee who wants to be seen or heard neighing like a mis- led horse. ELIZABETH FRY bequeaths with a gentle smile her quiet ways to HELEN JAMES.

Poor old Jawkins, filled with wonder. After his appalling dream, I1;k1 walked out to view the dawning. Full of new hope ' s vibrant gleam. . . . Betty had no sooner seated Juan upon a red plush couch. Thanking him for last night ' s favor, Than came, in a terrible grouch. Captain Bodd, the dour and booted. Knocking for his pound of flesh And the threads began to tangle In the melodramatic mesh. . . . Betty fled to And her father, Captain Bodd remained and sneered. But he was surprised to find Brave Mondoya whom he feared. . . . And he was still more enlightened. And much more enraged still: Juan asked in place of Barbara ' s dowry. For the Jawkins ' mortgage hill. Tilliam spluttered, Tilliam muttered. Then he said all sorts of things. . . . But, he wished to have his daughter Wedded with the blood of kings. So — he gave brave Juan the mortgasH. Though it hurt him wondrously, And, when Jim returned with Betty. Tilliam told them thunderously. Then the three were disconcerted By poor Betty ' s anguished wails. . . . As the light broke on Mondoya .... Betty ' s sorrow poured in pails. But the joke was on them all, As Jawkins protests, Tilliam raves: For — Barbara had eloped with The alluring Graxton Javes. . . . One night, sitting at the tavern. Drowsed poor Captain Tilliam Bodd. Shorn of power and defeated. Sinful but repentant clod. Long, he lingered in his sorrow, At a table littered high; Strewn with jugs of chocolate soda : And he prayed that he might die . . . Gone his daughter, gone his ducats. Just a villain, tired — alone, Slow, he soaked in chocolate soda. Burped, and gave a little moan. Lo — the table spread before him With its jugs and goblets bright. Gave a leap; and to his terror A wild, weird voice pierced the night. Captain Tilliam, snoozing yonder. Wake at once, my friend, and ponder With distress the great unfairness Lying in the shameful rareness With which villains are successful . . . Really, it is most distressful That the praised and patted winner Never is the clever sinner! Tilliam with his bald pate reeling, From his chocolate graves . . . new-dug. Shuddered then and glowered speechless At the Chocolate Soda Jug . . . On tiptoes, it danced and chortled. Caroling a coy refrain: Captain, you may call me Phyllis, I am just a little pain ... ! I have come to cheer you greatly. For I ' ve seen your sorrow lately; And I feel with angry passion That it is a foolish fashion Wherein dramas are completed When the scoundrel is defeated. Thus far, everything has mocked you, Idiots have tripped and balked you. Now, it is your turn for laughter. Mirth and music shall come after All the pain that you have suffered. Beatings y ou have bucked and buffered And fear not though I should vanish Or shout in a manner mannish, I am boundless, changing, tireless Presto chango — I ' m a wireless. Then as Tilliam stared, revealing All his gold teeth in one gape In a pop of corks and thunder Why the brown jug changed her shape She became a wooden goddess With a dial face; and she whirred For a moment like a dragon. Then she spoke, and Tilliam heard: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen; this is your radio reporter of the Los Angeles Daily Blurb, bringing you the latest and most thrilling events of the minute. St Louis, Feb. 1, 1945 — ROBERT CARLEY, hosiery salesman supreme and chair- man of the national movement to Sell More Socks, has just revealed that the graphic slogan under which his committee will labor during the next few months, reads, Wear and Tear! Without trying to be punny, Mr. CARLEY ' S offering seems a bit, well — hackneyed. . . Dublin, Ire., Feb. 2 — Friends, here is startling news. A report has just reached us to the effect that the Hon. MICHAEL SHANNON, U. S. envoy to the Irish Free State, commonly known as the best dressed man in the governmental service of his country, appeared at a recent state dinner, clad in yellow spats, a powder-blue dinner suit, and a lavender top hat, with the result that the Lord Mayor dropped his eye glass in his soup and swallowed it before he realized it was not an oyster. Well, recalling Mr. Kipling, even the leopard may change his spots. The Lord Mayor is expected to recover; but it is doubtful if Mr. SHANNON will. . . Amsterdam, Netherlands, Feb. 2 — Civic-proud Angelenos will thrill to the knowl- edge that our fair city has been well represented in the Extra Olympic activities that have followed upon last year ' s Games. Yesterday, a new women ' s weight lifting record was set by GERALDINE ' TEENTSY ' MILLARD; and today due particularly to of the airy grace and balance of BOB FITTING, their captain, the members of Ameri- can Ice Hockey team including CHARLES PICKELL, GENE HARRIS, TOM FLYNN, and ELLSWORTH CARLMARK, took the title in that event. At the finish of a breath- less game, the intrepid FITTING slipped and sprawled in attempting a goal; but with his customary quick thinking and finesse, slid over the line, propelling the ball with his nose. . . Honolulu, Jan. 30— Miss HELENA McCOY, habitue of the South Seas, and veteran of all the thrills and pleasures these Isles have to offer, sailed this morning for the o seventy-seven seventy-eight seventy-nine U. S. bearing with her numerous additions to her famed collection of live sharks that disport in her unique Mayfair penthouse. On the same vessel, comes WILLIAM STRICKLAND, returning by way of the Orient from his recent expedition into the Himalayas. He is also interested in sharks, by the way, but when questioned by re- porters upon a possible collaboration, remarked, Make mine vanilla. Los Angeles, Calif., Feb. 1— HEIL HARRIET! The lively Miss KLEIN and her group of ardently feminist ' brown-skirts ' were forced to disband their little mass meet- ing this afternoon, and to forget the parade that was to have resulted in a sort of Boston tea-party with the Mayor. On her way to a possible free week ' s board and lodging, in a shiny black wagon, Miss KLEIN explained that an altercation occurred when in course of her speech against war, she, gett ing slightly technical, shouted, Down with pyrotechnics! and there were several ignorant Poly grads in the audience. . . Cairo, Egypt, Jan. 30 — Authorities here were relieved to announce to the American Consul that Miss ELLEN WEINSTEIN, U. S. citizen, who has been missing over a week, was found exhausted and semi-conscious on the right shoulder of the Sphinx, after having lain several days in a crevice which appeared just recently, and which the government has not ta,ken steps to correct yet. Fortunately, Miss WEINSTEIN, prominent palmist, numerologist, and student of hieroglyphics, who clambered up to get a closer look at the writing on the great stone image, had her knapsack along. She was able to subsist until an inquisitive tourist discovered her and sent for help. . . Havana, Cuba, Feb. 1 — Foreign correspondent, EDWIN SHIREY, in a fascinating fake mustache and brown dyed complexion, was elected president of the three hundredth Cuban Republic. However, three chamberlains, and four gentlemen of the bed chamber insisted on helping him wash his face; and the fraud was exposed. Late this evening, the U. S. government was endeavoring to intercede, advancing the possibility of mental derangement, to the Cuban authorities who did not appear impressed. . . Vienna, Austria, Feb. 2 — Pronounced the smartest and most cultured woman this city of the eternal feminine has beheld in years, JANE de LANGE LEWIS, poetess and ambassadoress to Austria, is said to sleep in her coffin, a la Bernhardt, and to drink nothing but buttermilk. In replying to a Parliament member ' s congratulatory address, Miss Lewis recited a little poem about stars that left the members of that dignified group wallowing about the aisles in their own tears. Milan, Italy, Feb. 2— MLLE. MARJORIE GOODSPEED, Premiere Danseuse of the New York Metropolitan, was accorded a spirited ovation upon her first guest appearance here at the State Opera House. Her technique was faultless, and her spiritual grace even more moving than in other performances hyar and thayer. . . Hankow, China, Jan. 30 — A new course of study has been inaugurated for the native schools, locally and in adjacent districts. Notable among the course in- stituted for the development of will power, initiative, and originality, are crocheting and tiddley-winks, announces BARBARA BROWN, missionary-in-chief and edu- cational adviser from the U. S. to China. . . Nice, France, Feb. 2— Rumor has it that ELIZABETH LOWMAN, brilliant young pianist, has broken her stern rule of practicing in complete seclusion, and has been rendering privately for the benefit of a certain internationally known haberdasher who maintains a villa close by. Hollywood, Calif., Feb. 2 — GEORGE KROG, suave and swarthy matinee idol of the new musical I Like My Olives Green, has just been made a star by Morner Bros, and is expected to become a combination of Muni and Crosby, with a touch of Barry- more thrown in. Philadelphia, Penn., Feb. 1 — Out Stein-ing Gertrude Stein, a new volume entitled Were We or Why has just appeared upon the lists of BENTON and LUNDEEN, pub- lishers. In this interesting work, the hero dies at birth; the heroine is twins; the action alternates between a morgue and a poultry store; and the pages read bottom up from left to right. THELMA ROTHMAN, prominent calumnist and newspaper woman, is the authoress, and believes she will start a new movement in literature. Washington, D. C, Feb. 1 — Awarded a special generalcy for the shininess of his hoots, and detailed to the crack White House Guard, former Captain CHARLES VAN RENSSELAER CRAIG, was heard to award much credit to the training he received at Los Angeles High School, previous to West Point. Copenhagen, Denmark, Feb. 1 — MME. MARION JOHNSON, linguist, intellectual, classicist, authority on early Greek writings, is sojourning briefly in this city of her ancestors, studying at the Royal Copenhagen Institution of Advanced Philosophy. She has just completed her fifth book on the third line of the Iliad, and is now preparing a nursery volume of lyrics in original Greek for small children. . .

Compiled in this book are recorded events of the past term. activities making up school life, and the achievements of the students. By the use of a term theme, chosen by the Principal, each member of the staff is given an opportunity to develop latent talents in art, literature, poetry, business, and executive ability. Through numerous contests, the interest of the Student Body is aroused to active participation in the formation of the Semi-Annual. The Human Resources of America, this semester ' s theme, has been ably portrayed throughout the various sections of the book. Each member of the W ' 35 staff now realizes more fully that while speaking of the resources of men he is uttering no idle chatter; but in reality, he is speaking of new realms of thought and accomplishment. Each person on the W ' 35 Semi-Annual staff has gathered much pleasurable experience and happiness.

Blue and White Daily Obedience to law, mastery of self, joy in service, respect for others; these con- stitute life. This is our school motto and also the theme of the W ' 35 Blue and White Daily. Endeavoring, as one of its accomplishments, to make the school motto an ideal known to every student, rather than mere words raised on the cement wall of the auditorium, the Blue and White Daily has completed its forty-second term. The front page was made up each day by Michael Shannon, editor-in-chief while the back page was edited by Norman Fond, news editor. Thelma Rothman and Dana Nutting alternated in choosing the editorials, features, and jokes for page two. Ben Gutterman, assisted by Bernard Taper, handled football, baseball, and other athletic activities for the sport section, with Ann Norton taking charge of the G. A. A. news and other girls ' news. John Newlands was in charge of the publicity. Albert Wehrly, general manager, led the business staff, with Alvin Cohn as bus- iness manager; Joe Wehrly, advertising manager; Charlotte Cole, auditor; Lawrence Roth, subscription manager; Maury Knopow, circulation manager; Norman Nathanson, mailing manager, and Bill McKay, assistant circulation manager. Much gratitude and appreciation are extended, by the staff to the three Faculty sponsors of the Blue and White: Miss Katharine CaTr, journalism and business; Mr. Alfred T.

Theohald Completing its seventeenth semester of continuous publication since it was founded by the Senior Class of 1926, the El Romano continues to be the only student Spanish paper published ' in the high schools of Los Angeles. Not only is its purpose to create a practical use of the Spanish language, but also to promote a friendly feeling for Spanish speaking neighbors, to lend a pleasant and useful diversion to the c lass room routine, and to give a stimulus to the students while progressing in the study of the Spanish language. There was great response to its publication from the first, and it now has several hundred subscribers read it each semester. The teachers encourage its pub- lication also because of the increased interest in Spanish for its own sake. At the Honor Assembly which occurs at the end of each term, Los Angeles High School awards. through El Romano, two bronze medals to the Spanish students who have the highest marks in A10 and Al- contests. The El Romano staff has worked very hard to publish ihis paper this year and feels rewarded for its efforts by the fine response shown by the -i udents irihi ' -cight A- If.

Faculty adviser: Dr. W. A. Edwards One of the greatest of all human resources is the ability of one person to com- municate with another by use of a tongue which each understands. Tracing back the English which we speak today, we find that a great number of words in our native languages are derived from Latin, or from the Romance languages, which themselves came from Latin. To understand better that language from which ours comes and to be able to learn other languages more readily, we study Latin. With these ideals in mind, fourteen years ago Dr. Edwards founded in our school, the Nuntius, the only Latin paper in the western part of the United States. Augmenting the daily classwork, the paper promises entertainment and instruction to many Latin classes in junior and senior high schools as well as to individual subscribers throughout Cal- ifornia and many other states. During the years which Dr. Edwards has sponsored the Nuntius. he has given his unfailing efforts and his admirable knowledge of Latin and Greek to the success of this paper in which he has always had such a deep interest. Therefore, the staff of this term has devoted much time and effort to continue the high standard of the Nuntius, and to add features which would prove of interest to its many readers. o eighty-nine §©lhool Motto Obedience to law, Respect for others, Mastery of self, Joy in service; These constitute life.

Through the game of chess, students improve their power of concentration, as well as their mental eff iciency. Chess is the oldest and most distinguished of games. In ancient times, it was the game of royalty and the elite of society, although now in our day it is played by all classes of people. It teaches patience, courtesy, strategy, and de- velops logic. It has always been considered the king of games. In W ' 34, the chess team of Los Angeles High School won the team City cham- pionship; and George Horiuchi won the City singles championship. Representing Southern California in the State championship match, the team lost to the northern representatives from Hayward High although Sam Naiditch won the State singles championship.

Mudgett The Officers ' Club of the Los Angeles High School was organized for the purpose of furthering the relationship of friendliness and co-operation among the officers, non- commissioned officers, and men of the R. 0. T. C. The club membership is composed hi it 1 1 officers, sergeants, and second term corporals in the unit. In order to become a member of this club, a basic course known as first and second year must be passed by the non-commissioned officers; and this course covers drill and command, rifle marksmanship, automatic rifle, musketry, scouting and patrol- ing, map reading, and combat principles. At the end of each semester, theoretical and practical tests must be passed by each group. Every year, our battalion marches in the parade held at the Los Angeles Mem- orial Coliseum. On November twelfth of this year, the Los Angeles High School unit was awarded the sixteenth annual Armistice Day trophy by the American Legion for general excellence in military review. Social activities of this club are the officers ' tea, the officers ' dinner, and the semi-annual military ball. The purpose of the Reserve Officers ' Training Corps has been to foster and develop our human resources in citizenship and leadership to carry on the work in the modern America of tomorrow. n inety-eight V Left to right.

Since its found- ing, the club has been one of the most active and outstanding organizations in Los Angeles High School. The meetings are held twice a month. The program has been largely given by the students who perform scientific experiments. When it is pos- sible, scientific speakers of note are secured. Before a student may receive a pin, he must give a demonstration of general interest at one of the meetings. This club believes that by creating an active interest in science, the human resources of America are increased; and through the development of young scientists, the civilization of the world advances.

M. Reilly The Star and Crescent Society was first organized in the year 1879 and has been re-organized several times since. Because of the changes made in the society, many customs of long standing have been cast aside. At the present time, only two traditions formed 56 years ago are now in existence. These are the election of officers and the farewell assembly given for the Senior A ' s. From the very inception of the society, the president of the society has been chosen from the A12 class; the vice-president, from the B12 class; and the secretary, from the All class. In the beginning, meetings of this organization were held each month and were attended by the eleventh and twelfth grade classes. However, because of the rapid growth and expansion of the Student Body, the Star and Crescent Society meetings have been held only once each semester since 1913. The membership is now made up from the Senior A class only. The ceremony of presenting pins to the graduates is the feature of this one assembly. The Star and Crescent Society is an organization for both graduates and students of Los Angeles High School. It is the one sustaining link between school life and the business world. The pin presented to each graduate is not only symbolic of the society; but it also carries with it the wish that each alumnus may have a successful and happy future. ) u iiiln il four MUSIC Boys 9 §©eior Gl©© Climb President: Jesse Harvey- Manager: Richard Dabney Librarians: Ellsworth Carlmark Jack Boyle Accompanist: Mary Eva Mejia Director: Miss Verna C.

The old proverb, History repeats itself, is proven again, for we see today, a group of young students, forty-four in number, under the devoted leadership of Miss Verna C. Blythe, still carrying on in a spirit of brotherhood with that endless desire to sing and to express their feelings in song.

The Faculty as well as the students has enjoyed the concerts given by the organization. This term, the orchestra performed at the Senior vaudeville, the Girls ' League Convention, Star and Crescent exercises, Commencement exercises, and some of the foremost assemblies. All of the concerts showed a great deal of practice on the part of the director and the members. Many of its members have earned prominent positions in the All-City Orchestra.

The aim of this society is to develop that intellect and to guide it toward service and leadership in the school. In an endeavor to make the society of service to the school, the Periclean Cabinet has been especially active this term, as members of the Cabinet, in addition to the officers, are representatives of each class. These are: A12, Dean Olson: B12, Wayland Leonard: All, Bill Howe; Bll, Jack White; Alt), Bob Fisher; and BIO, La Vaughn Bradley, the Junior Periclean president. Of the three hundred thirty-two Periclean members, one hundred and twenty-two are all A students. Aiming to increase interest and enthusiasm in the society, the Periclean Cabinet this year has sponsored more social activities than it has in past terms. The first of these was the traditional breakfast held on Blue and White Day, and another occurred in the fourteenth week of school, for the purpose of entertaining the members. Three after school meetings and two dances were held. All of these activities were very successful and were greatly enjoyed by the members. Many of the Pericleans participate in school activities showing the close inter- relation of scholarship and leadership. Barbara Brown, Harriette Klein, Frances Belden, and Marian Lampe are members of the Girls ' Senior Board; Marion Johnson, editor of the W ' 35 Semi-Annual; Betty Leabo, president of the Girls ' Division, Dean Olson, president of the Boys ' Division; Bob Carley, Kenyon MacDonald, and Jim Hawkins, members of the Boys ' Senior Board; Jack Graves, R.

California Scholarship Federation The public school system is important in the development and guidance of youth, the greatest of America ' s resources; and the finest products of this system as ex- emplified in Los Angeles High School, are our honor students. In an effort to en- courage character and higher scholarship among these students, the California Scholar- ship Federation was formed in 1921. The requirements for membership are Periclean grades for four terms, one of which must be in the senior year. Los Angeles High School, Chapter IV, has had thirteen successful years under the able sponsorship of Miss Oliver. Since the establishment of a C. S. F. chapter in our school, there have been 952 members among the 10,870 graduates. A large number of these C S. F. ' s have had all A grades every term. Now, it is the custom to have two C. S. F. members appointed to the Periclean Cabinet. The second vice-president has charge of the Junior Pericleans, and the secretary takes care of the C. S. F. mem- bership and correspondence. The officers this term are second vice-president, Mayer Segal, and secretary, Mary Virginia Pyne. The following students attained C. S. F. standing in their Senior B term: Sara Dvorsky, Elizabeth Fry, Carol Hover, George Horiuchi, Marion Johnson, Dick Lavine, Jane Moyse, Sam Naiditch, Dorothy Newtson, Mayer Segal, Dorothy Schumacher, and John Vitale.

The remarkable success of the convention was due to the beautiful spirit of the whole. The purpose of the Girls ' League Convention is to further the spirit of good fellowship and democracy, to help establish high ideals of service and good citizenship in the schools of Southern California, and to encourage such activities as will promote the interests of Girls ' Leagues. This year, the theme was America ' s Challege to Modern Girlhood, and this chal- lenge was translated into the ideal of spiritual uplift and a consecration to high citizen- ship throughout the entire convention. Beginning with the original poem, America ' s Challenge to Young Girlhood on the title page of the Convention program and the singing of America the Beautiful as a pledge song by the entire federation, continuing through the joy and beauty of the banquet, with Star-gazing for its theme, and closing with the earnest, purposeful eight group meetings for discussion of girls ' problems, the convention reached a high and beautiful spiritual level which proved inspirational to many The following are extracts from resolutions officially passed by the convention as a result of the Saturday morning discussion groups. We Resolve that: (1) We should not form opinions until we know something of each side of the question; that gossip should not be passed on. (2) We do not have to cheapen ourselves in order to get dates, but we can have comradeship with worth while boys without lowering our standards. (3) The girl of today should put unselfishness and a feeling of responsibility as her goal in striving for a more satisfactory home life. (4) In answer to America ' s Challenge to Modern Girlhood, we will be willing to promote a congenial co-operative and high spiritual feeling in the home and world. (51 By reading good books, observing the glories of God, associating with fine men and women, and by thinking good thoughts, we are furthering our mental and spiritual development; religion helps to create a high standard of morals. Whereas, the theme of the banquet toasts, Star-Gazing, was so beautifully ex- pressed by the toasts of our hostesses, be it resolved that we shall make true the phrase Too low they build who build beneath the stars. jean SCHULMAN huiulriii sixtei n Robert Carley Dean Olson Marion Johnson Annette Forbes Betty Leabo Jack Graves Barbara Brown Florence Fox Kenyov MacDoyiald Barbara Davies Jim Hawkins Jeannette Herring Eplheblae §oei©ty The Ephebian Society was founded in 1918 by Doctor Albert Shields, then the superintendent of the Los Angeles city schools. The Ephebian oath of the youth of ancient Athens, binding them to be fine in character, to be diligent, to uphold and to protect the state, was the inspiration for the creation of this outstanding organization. These ideals created a standard for the choice of students who exemplify the high morale of this society. Only one in every forty graduating students is thus honored for his leadership, scholarship, and character. This year, even greater emphasis has been placed upon leadership and the im- portance of civic betterment. Since the California Scholarship Federation has been established as a scholastic honor, the method of election to Ephebian has been altered to make this society more prominent in civic affairs. In order to be a candidate for Ephebian, a student must have grades which will admit him to the state university, an average merit record of at least ninety; and he must be willing to take an active part in the affairs of this society. In the election, the votes of the students are now given the same value as the Faculty ' s votes, which previously had a higher rating. The Ephebians chosen from the Class of Winter ' 35 are: Barbara Brown, Bob Carley, Barbara Davies, Annette Forbes, Florence Fox, Jack Graves, James Hawkins, Jeannette Herring, Marion Johnson. Betty Leabo, Kenyon MacDonald, and Dean Olson. o hundred seventeen ' • atonals The youth of today, living in an era of depression and political unrest, must realize that future progress and happiness depend upon the development of human resources rather than upon the gaining of material wealth. In our schools, we are given opportunities to accumulate a wealth of happiness through the sensitizing of our minds to the development and use of the human resources, those of social contacts, physical strength, creative ability, intellectual integrity, learning, leadership, and religion. It is the appreciation and use of these capabilities that will raise our civili- zation to the yet unsurpassed standard of the classical Greek era. Through our sensitivity to these qualities, we will be compassionate toward other people and other nations, thus founding a strong bond of friendship which will result in an enduring peace; we will, with the influence of this movement toward a higher goal, create lasting artistic, musical, scientific, and literary masterpieces; and we will know the difference between right and wrong, ever striving for the good and abhorring all evil. The future of our nation lies with the American youth. Will it fall to the level of money-crazed, grafting, and pleasure-seeking individuals; or will it rise to the loftiest heights of democracy, carried there by a people striving ultimately to reach perfection? MARION JOHNSON, Editor-in-chief Thought is the unseen foundation of all human resources. From fleeting, casual thoughts upon many unrelated subjects, one narrows down to deeply concentrated study considering plans for future work on one determined idea of one certain defi- nite topic. Such ideas and plans can be of two types; either destructive or constructive but never a little of both. The general incentive for destructive plans is greed. This motive is not only the desire for money but also for fame and position. It leads to the planning of deeds which will not further the civilization of America in any way but which will lower its stand- ing in the world of tomorrow, instead. No thought is given to the methods used to obtain this brief passing glory. This selfish craving for wealth has led people to direct what might have been a truly great ability into the channels of crime and profit by unethical means, thus gaining greater material possessions for themselves at the expense of their fellow-men and the ideals of true Americanism. However, on the other hand, the desire behind constructive planning is to forward the progress of the nation. The efforts of an individual are to assure the high rank and position of America as a country rather than to gain prominence and world ' y possessions for himself as an individual. He strives to produce the utmost in the fields of literature, art, science, commerce, and politics. He submerges himself but blends his individuality of thought to produce a higher, more worthy existence for Mankind. As an incentive to constructive thought, we remember that As a man thinketh, so he is. We must answer the ever present cry for the creation of finer, more out- standing works in the fields of the various crafts and trades. We must elevate our thoughts so that they shall lead us to a finer life. PHYLLIS PAYNE, Assistant editor All civilization of all color and breeding has been built mainly on the idea of tradition and precedent. Throughout the years, generation upon generation have added a little to what their forefathers called their standard of living, until today our customs, habits, and manners are a culmination of years of experimentation. Although this process of development has been going on for centuries, much more has been ac- complished in the last few years than during any other time in our history. Un- fortunately, though, all our modern developments have not been for the good, and we are now confronted with the task of overcoming these foreign influences. Let us, the youth, now realize that to step out of the ranks of the seminaries and into the higher positions of modern American life, accompanied by a quick renovation of the present conditions, is absolutely absurd. It is not hard to criticize those who have made a failure of their vocation, but it is a most difficult accomplishment to make a true success of ourselves. Therefore with the benevolence of our far-seeing elders, we have high hopes that they will select the deserving from our ever-increasing numbers, to carry on their work, their work that will be undeniably enriched by the proper choice of youthful leaders who exemplify Human Resources of America. VAN CRAIG, Business manager hundred nineteen The True is not outmoded by the change Of time ' s light temperament, of men ' s light hearts. The fashion to be generous grows strange Only when selfishness defiles the marts, And loads the broad-shelved, boundless thoughts of those Who should be tolerant and grave and kind With idle toys of jealousy, and clothes Of thin conceit ... to please a little mind. . . True laughter is invaluable — and yet, It costs not half the sum you pay in tears Each time you laugh in scorn ... Do not forget Unless you use it well, it disappears. So — laugh as loudly as you will, but best Be sure you ' re laughing with — noto . . . the rest! JACK TOWNSEND COTTLE, Humor editor The ship of Winter 1935 is leaving port. We with our hopes, ambitions, and talents are the passengers on this ship of life; our passports are our diplomas. Now more than ever before, America needs us as a reinforcement. In this age of error, graft, poverty, and crime, America needs sane minds, fresh thoughts, and honesty. America needs trained ability to replace foolish miscalculations, with worthy diplomats, honest officials, and an awakened populace. Our very passports prove that we have taken the first step toward meeting the moral and intellectual problems that may con- front us; but only by united effort will we be able to cast off the anchor chains that will restrict the progress of our ship. Will we accept these tasks, consecrating our- selves to their completion? Will our sails be filled with the winds of progress? Will our prow leave mighty waves of recovery and advancement behind us? And as we strive for success, will we grow in greatness in proportion to the magnitude of the deeds which we will accomplish? Will we arouse all the dormant possibilities of our natures and use them for the further advancement of our ship: or will we fail when we are most needed, for, now, more than ever before, America needs its youth and youth ' s ideals? We of Winter 1935 represent a portion of America ' s greatest resource. What we will do with our ability is in our power to decide. We can make or break ourselves, and we can make or break our country. Which will we choose to do? Will our ship go down in a sea of doubt and broken ideals; or will we sail on, never ceasing, until we reach our happy landing? CAROL HOVER, Senior A editor Our first thought, when we are in trouble, is What have we to support us? What resources have we within ourselves? In such manner, does a great nation question itself when trouble arises. Its support is its people and what they possess within them- selves, in other words, its human resources. Nature endowed our physical earth with a wealth of physical resources, such as forests, gold, animals, and precious stones. But men. Nature endowed with their own potentialities, putting them just as deeply or shallowly beneath the surface as she placed her material riches. However, our human resources are limitless. So they will continue to be until man vanishes. These very resources are making possible further progress, and our resources have made civiliza- tion advance. We are intrigued by these resources, but what gave them so much fascination? Not one generation, nor nine nor fifteen! What, then? Our ancestors, those great Teutons, who depended so much on their own resourcefulness instilled in us the fierce desire to depend on our own selves and inherent capabilities. Our ancestors gav e us a confidence, deeply set, in ourselves. We, as youth, look forward, ready to call upon our resources, ready to do, to move forward; but with all this readiness to progress, we still feel the great strength and pulsating forces of our ancestors, which we today call confidence in ourselves. We owe a great deal to these hardy Teutons, more than is apparent, because from them we get our wealth of resources and our desire to discover and to learn. Through our human resources, themselves a great, seething power for progress, we move rapidly forward to greater heights of com- passion and learning. ELLEN WEINSTEIN, Individual photo manager h tindred twenty How many young, brave feet have trod these halls, Gone out to take the highway they found good, Then sold their jeweled dreams at market stalls For simple food. . . . And now, with dreams as bright as theirs, we leave. Our courage and ambition flung as high. The question we ask life, will it receive The same reply? If we must find, in some far, tired year, We can not grasp the glory sought so long, The journey will be good. The stars shall hear Our marching song! JANE LEWIS. Art editor The development and use of human resources are the only salvation for our country. In the present dilemma, the clouds of strife hover over practically every state in the country. The individual suffering is terrific. Men, women, and children from California to Maine are crying for help. Much of the wealth of the nation is be- ing consumed by the greedy parasites that so unjustly call themselves the servants of the public. While this condition exists, no real patriot of our land of freedom should stand aside idly. Some might say, We don ' t favor at all the present system, but why revolt and cause bloodshed? The answer to this is indeed quite simple; but yet how few of us will put it to practice. The remedy I sponsor is the re-establishing in some places and starting anew in others, the old traditions of the races that have been so promiscuously disregarded and the true ideals. We should place our Heavenly Father above the now almighty dollar. For full success, we should call to the fight- ing front all the human resources aided by spiritual power. We should wage a battle not using clanging cymbals, but using the real American spirit that was handed down to us so generously by our forefathers. Are we, the coming generation, going to allow present deplorable conditions to continue? Are we going to see that every man, woman, and child, irrespective of race or creed have food, clothing, and shelter? Finally, are we going to make our lives and the lives of others pleasing to Him who sits on the judgment seat? EDWIN S. DOUGLAS, Group photo manager Youth, in resplendent glory, with courageous heart says, We are not afraid to face these turbulent conditions in the world today; we are strong of spirit; we are confident of our resources. Confidence, a state of mind characterized by self-reliance, is the real difference between the failure and the success. True self-assurance is arrived at only after an individual has taken stock of himself, has searched his every possibility and exhausted his every resource. Then with honesty, he is able to say, I know myself — my possi- bilities. Now I shall develop myself according to these. I will make the very best of my resources. This man is self-sufficient. He is confident! Resources, untold resources, lying dormant in multitudes of us, recall to mind the phrase, What fools we mortals be! The speculator gambles millions on an un- certain market, yet hesitates to take one chance on himself. The miner slaves his life away searching for few nuggets of gold within a mountain when perhaps an unlimited store of wealth and treasure is to be found for the asking within himself. To develop our resources and to expand our human capabilities should be the serious, meditative, x-raying of our minds, and then the earnest, hearty, zealous pursuit of every beneficial means of bettering and expanding our talents. Then may we choose our field of endeavor. So we, the youth of America, thankful for the pioneering influence of ancestors who have developed our confidence, and appreciation of the opportunities and guidance that have aided us in realizing our resources are able to say, We do not fear political chaos, social unrest, or economic insecurity. Under the inspired guidance of great statesmen and the mercy of our greatest Leader, we will emerge from this depression, a wiser, more mature nation. We, the Youth, face you staunchly! We are confident of our resources! MARGARET RAY, Literary editor A Three-Fold Faith First Prize — Senior A Essay Contest During this last great crisis, many of us have lost faith, faith in God, in others, and most tragic of all, faith in ourselves. Unconsciously, we have let our brave banner of trust and honor slip behind in the mud of utter hopelessness and pettiness. Surely deep in us somewhere burns that divine spark, faith in God. In moments of greatest despair, we turn to this light for help. In this semi-state of synthetic en- thusiasm and strange wandering over by-roads in search for eternal happiness, we have forgotten to plumb the depth of ourselves and to find that ever-present spark. How easy to reach down and warm our world-cold hands over its flame! But instead, we thrust our fingers into a man-made heaven, tearing and spoiling its treacherous loveliness in our selfishness. Seeking everywhere, we have forgotten its source. Let us fan that spark of faith in God into a flame before it is too late and jealously guard it from the ill winds of false gain. Then our lost faith in others! How can we expect others to trust us If we doubt them ' ' Our neighbor wants to believe in us; but oh, what a poor specimen of true friendliness has he found. How small, self-interested have we been in our business deal- ings and supposedly amicable relations. Through greedy and mistrustful eyes, we have watched every movement of others with suspicion; and by cut-throat competition in an effort to down our competitor, we have brought ruin to ourselves with a terrific boomerang effect. Let us tear down this false glittering veil of avidity and faithlessness that hangs over our eyes and see the world and its people in their true form. We must have faith in others! Greatest of the human faiths is faith in self. With his back against the wall, unhappy and alone, man turns in desperation to sound the almost forgotten well of his re- sources. Should he find faith in himself, he stands not as one man, but as an army. We must also have confidence in our physical being. How perfectly we have been made. We can hear, see, touch, smell, and taste. We have minds. As American citizens, we have a heritage without limit. The spirit that incited the Pilgrims to brave unknown hardships to escape religious oppression is the same spirit that lies within us. The courage and fortitude beneath the stern faces of the immigrants is our heritage. Somewhere, our ancestors gave us through the subconscious mind the power to perceive the truth without the intervention of testimony, a power which we call intuition. How often that ability has saved us, how many times has it proved to us our justification in trusting it, in following our hunch. The development of the sub- conscious mind of which intuition is a part is one of the most interestng and profitable of all the human resources. Self is great. Mind is infinite. To put self as the ob- jective of the subconscious mind is to create a limitless power, a source of help and supply. We go to a cool spring to quench our thirst. The water is clear and different. How delighted we are! So it is in our lives; we must brush away the stale cobwebs that cling to us from the week before and wash our faces at the fresh spring of im- agination. Into what odd shapes of fancy do w e twist the poor everyday objects of our lives! Imagination is an outlet, so necessary, so cheap, but which gives us a new outlook over the same dreary landscape. How great we are! Why should we not have perfect faith in ourselves? With all we have within us, we could never use half of it in our lifetime. We must have faith in our ever-filled wells of human resources. Let us raise our dropping banner! Wash out the stains and carefully mend the tears! Then, carry it well ahead of the parade so that all may see that we, the com- ing generation, have faith, faith in God, faith in others, faith in ourselves. GWENDOLYN TATE KRAMER, A12 My Goal In these hours of great depression Lord grant me patience, and possession Of my heart and of my soul, Lord! let these things be my goal. JEAN MELLEN, B12 hundred twenty-two Immagliiiniatioinu Greatest of Mnainmsie IResoiuirees Tied for Second Place — Senior A Essay Contest The human race is governed try its imagination, answered Napoleon when a commemorative deed of his was criticized as a whim of the imagination. Man has mastered the earth through his ability to visualize the results of pursuing certain lines of endeavor. In his advancing victory over nature, in his philosophy, art, and literature, we witness his age old struggles against the bonds of tradition through the genius of the creative imagination. With its aid, Columbus discovered a new world and Copernicus a new conception of the solar system. Had he lacked this faculty, Napoleon might have lived and died in Corsica, mute and inglorious. Since prehistoric times, when aboriginal man first visualized the potentialities of fire, stone, and metal, the mind ' s eye has been a forerunner of progress. Its un- deniable force and spirit have been materialized and perpetuated in the great achieve- ments of man, his science, art, literature, and philosophy. Science and invention both owe an immeasurable debt to the imagination. A dreamer like Watt was required to perceive the inherent possibilities and applica- tions of steam. All great inventions were first completed in the mind of man. Morse, Bell, Marconi, and the Wright Brothers were all dreamers; their inventions testify to their ability to make dreams come true. Throughout all astronomical research may be seen the influence of the creative imagination, forever discontent with the mere today. - It is often stated that the mathematician dealing with an exact science has no place for the imagination; but without it, he would have no further fields of research. His fourth dimension and imaginaries would all disappear. The firm belief of a famous mathematician at Cal. Tech., Dr. E. T. Bell,, is that the great mathema- tician must be a man of great imagination, for the conceptions of higher dimensional geometry, relativity, and theoretical physics demand its extensive use. While science is concerned with the formulation of natural laws, these combined with creative foresight are building future science and are providing the impetus for coming inventions. The monumental works in philosophy, giving us fundamental interpretations of human values, the creations of musical genius, and the paintings of the great masters are among the highest achievements of man ' s constructive vision. A true, discerning appreciation of their works requires a keen, well-trained imagination. One of the great benefits of literature is that it enables each one of us to relive the strifes and aspirations of gods, heroes, and common men. For the time being, we are compelled to identify ourselves with their lives and actions. When supported with facts and mature judgment, life ' s governing ideals have been created by the imagination. The progressive realization of these ideals is called civilization. This power of foresight has aided man in formulating and arranging the laws which govern the earth. Through it, the motivating ideals and principles of humanity, truth, love, liberty, and justice have been fulfilled. Universal peace is yet an unfulfilled ideal. Until man can stretch his foresight far enough to believe that peace, in spite of nature ' s laws, can actually exist, it will not be realized. Ruskin once stated that an unimaginative person can be neither reverent nor kind. None but the highest type of intelligence can conceive of a supreme Deity, in- visible, yet with complete control over earthly destiny. Perhaps imagination itself is a divine gift granted us that we may have some knowledge of things to come. To be kind, one must have vision, for sympathy is born of it. Only those who can imagine another ' s feelings and experienc es can really sympathize. The benevolence of man- kind may be credited to the use of a sympathetic imagination. Social reforms, medicine, and surgery are the results of exercising this faculty. Its noble ideals alone have prevented the collapse of society. Thus we can see that civilization has been due to the creative power of the imagination. We imagine creatively when we recombine the elements of past experience in such a way as to produce apparently new situations. This constructive power is one of the most important qualifications for leadership. Without it, there can be no greatness. The true leader must be able to picture a future totally unlike what he has experienced before and work toward its attainment. Our imagination has always been the breaker of tradition; progress in the future will be assured if it continues to be so. Today, only the fit can survive the complex struggle for existence; and the one who lacks the foresight to carry him beyond the realities of today to the probabili- ties of tomorrow is unfit for a world of progress. GEORGE HORIUCHI hundred twenty-three Coorai© Courage is like a lantern in the night, Which gleams and sends its clear prismatic light Throughout the gloom. Courage is like bells on tar off hills, Geraniums blooming on the window sills Of a drear room. LUELLA LEE WEAVER, A12 Assistant literary editor ■s Tib© Importaee© of Our Spiritual R©§oimr©©§ Today Tied for Second Place — Senior A Essay Contest To say that our day is a time of crisis, is commonplace. Signs of crumbling moral standards, racial hatreds, and bitter prejudices are common to our daily life. There is a class of people which believes in leaving the situation entirely to the government an d to the politicians, in the hope that they can find a loophole. Others are merely unmoved, indifferent to the present state of affairs. But there is a group which is sorely puzzled and perplexed, not only financially and politically but spiritu- ally. Considering that there is hardly an outstanding nation which has not recently overturned its government completely and plunged headlong into the daring of ex- ploration and experiment, that many homes have suffered unbelievably for want of the direst necessities, that each day the cities become more crowded and less of the popu- lation is left to till the ground and know the responsiveness and healing serenity of nature, it is inevitable that spiritual unrest is cultivated. Specific examples are seen in the vast number of divorces which clutter our courts and newspapers. Many seek a safety-valve for the constant jarring and strain on human emotions. Instead of looking deeply into inner selves for the peace and spiritual rest which we should find there, it has become common to release energy in a more superficial manner. Another illustration may be found in the fact that our jails are filled largely with young men, not with older, hardened criminals as in days past. These boys have been reared mechanically and have been given a materialistic interpretation of life. Lacking the normal satisfaction and comradeship of home life and with low standards of values, they seek social recognition and personal satisfaction in crime. Now that we know that spiritual resources are becoming more and more nec- essary, the next step to consider is how to find them. The varying types of personality are affected very differently. For some, the uplifting and helpful are found in beauti- ful music. The melodies and deep vibrant chords convey a spirit calm which is un- rivaled in words. To others, the study of verse brings a tranquility beyond descrip- tion. Nature plays a great part in transforming ordinary minds and souls into ones of deep reverence and composure. Not to be forgotten is the meditation and study of religion itself. The belief that there is a Heavenly Being who constantly bestows His love and care on us is a comforting thought to many. Last, but by no means least, is the value of friendship. Somehow, this mutual bond of faith and understanding forms the stimulus for many of our otherwise seemingly impossible endeavors. When a person has once found his means of spiritual poise, he should not be slow in helping a more unfortunate individual to find his, likewise. We think it not uncommon to give food, clothing, and material aid to the poor. Why not con- tribute to the spiritually deprived? The simplest and most effective way is to let them see, through us, a spirit of goodwill, love, and consideration for our fellowmen. ' Any theory of life must be justified by what it produces. As evidence of the power of spiritual resources, we may point to a statesman like Gladstone, a monk like Francis of Assisi, or a writer like Tolstoy. The latter two, especially, reared in the lap of luxury and extravagance, found ultimately life ' s usefulness and deepest satis- faction through spiritual realities.

F Tlhe Spiritual lolheritainice of a Tra© American Organization Prize — Forum, Ours is the spiritual inheritance of two worlds, the old and the new. The founders of this nation were those men of the old world who believed in spiritual freedom. The spirituality of those people cried for expression; and under the governments of the old world, they could not have that which their souls so desired. To gain this spirit- ual libertv, those pioneers were willing to brave the worst dangers and hardships of life. In the first years of the founding of the British colonies in North America, only the most physically able survived. The bitter cold of the winters killed many; most of them had not enough food. But from it all, emerged a people, strong and powerful, strong spiritually as well as strong physically. These men and women grounded in their ideals of a living God. They had to learn more than ever in a strange land, in a land of malicious Indians and of wild animals, that idealism and unflinching faith in an Almighty were the qualities that would decide their future. Their children and their children ' s children learned that spirituality counted as much as did physical fitness. So through the generations upon generations of American life, the true American has had instilled within him through heredity and through the teachings of his parents, the meaning of courage and idealism and faith which go to make up the spiritual vision of man. Without the courage of the soldier, the courage of the average unemployed in such times as these, without that which sends us unflinchingly ahead, the English flag might today be flying above our buildings and our schools. Lincoln needed this courage to send a nation against itself, to pit family against family, brother against brother. Lincoln was a great commander. More than that, he was a man of spirituality, for he had courage to call a country to action, undying faith in his God and in what he thought was right. He was idealistic. His spiritual vision placed his name forever in shining letters on the scroll of immortals. Today requires business courage. A man must have courage to tramp the streets day after day, hoping, praying for work, yet knowing in his heart that another sun may set before he secures it. That same indomitable power that drives a man every day in search of a job sends high school graduates from school, young, inexperienced, but clinging to the it can be done attitude. The peace officer who stands by his post day and night, fearlessly, fighting the worst crime wave the world has ever known, is spiritually as brave as the soldier who has been decorated for rescuing his buddy. Courage and idealism go hand in hand. One can not last without the other. The courageous man whether in war or peace must have ideals. Without them, he would find no necessity for courage. To teach brotherly love while on all sides there is hate and rebellion and bloodshed requires true courage. Idealism covers the field of righteousness — righteousness not only in large affairs but in the small. To the right- eous in a world of corruption and dishonesty is to be idealistic. This age of machinery in which we find ourselves living forces men to decide upon what shall be their life ' s work, to make a decision early in life, then to prepare them- selves for its fulfillment. They must be specialists and thoroughly masters of their jobs. For too long, has America been a land of materialistic people. The World War enabled the materialistic to take the upper hand. Those of this nation, in their mad scramble for power and money and position, seem to have forgotten the America of old, the America that fought sternly for its heart-felt principles and gained her independence. They appear to have ignored the principles of life and government upon which the United States was founded. The spirits of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, great patriots, have been blotted, momentarily, from their vision. The lives of those men who fought in the early periods of our history that this nation under God might have a new birth of freedom, seemed to have gone for naught. Yet through this mad rush of money, the disregard of the other fellow, America shall emerge triumphant over all, for within our people there is that spiritual in- heritance from men and women who were the Americans of yesterday that shall carry us through into the light of the real America. PAULINE PIPHER, B12 4 hundred twenty-five Oh Y© of Little Faitlh 9 Awaked First Prize — Senior A Poetry Contest The tatters of a sombre, troubled day Hang limp about us. Saddened with defeat And dark with fear, the heavy hours weigh Forcing us down in misery complete Upon the stones of wonder and despair, Where, we — all listless, kneel and cringe and weep. Then with a little unbelieving prayer, Quite unbelievably, we turn and sleep. Whence comes the lethargy we live, the crust Of dull despondency we gnaw — and hate! The mist of idle mournfulness and must, We breathe, the gloom in which we grope and prate? They are the first thin fingers of the night, Creeping across the sun, to hide the light. . . . There have been many hours dark as these; Full many men have wept, as we, and cursed Their petty, private gods, and miseries; Kneeling in prayer with gestures well-rehearsed, Rising and looking with a smile on dust And starvelings — arrayed the while in peace That could not briefly cloak their dull distrust. Nor bring their hunger even small surcease. There have been many hours dark as these; Full many men have wept and prayed, and dawn Came suddenly and laughing through the trees. And instantly their little fears were gone. Why is the night so long? What says the breeze? Take care . . . The faithful kneel on honest knees! There is so much of beauty that is hid From us, because we seek to hoard it for Our own, or sell it for the highest bid, That we may blindly gather more and more Of tinselry, and less and less of truth. Long, long, we labor in a dreary grave, Wasting the wondrous fullness of our youth, To capture loveliness — and make her slave. Then, when the day is drooping into dusk, Then — looking on our work, we choking cry: But this cannot be all, it is the husk . . . Why is the gracious fruit denied us. Why? Enough of greediness and self and spite. We labor in the darkness, not the light. . . . We shape so many times a careless cross With wood of jealousy and nails of scorn. For those we do not know, and all the loss Is ours, for mercy is more proudly worn Than any robe of righteousness and silk; Sweet tolerance is far more wise than jeers. For we receive in the same aching ilk, The sorrow we dispense, and more, of tears. But still we all-unheeding, with a frown, Upon each head that seems to smile in sin, Place carefully a just and rightful crown Of blame, and press the sharp thorns deftly in. hundred twenty-six And then — we think our work is almost done; Oh little men, the uork is not begun . ' No one of us is innocent of stain, Nor has the privilege to be wholly proud ; To see the wrong and shun it, is to gain Redemption from the pale, unlovely shroud That we unceasingly and slowly thread With our chill, knotted hands, up the drear day. Without humility, we are quite dead; Love lifts us gently from the coldest clay. We must be watchful lest we cast a stone. That, high-rebounding in another ' s hate May spoil our toil; for it is love alone That makes us loved, and truly, calmly great. The way is broad, the hours with promise grow. humbly robed in heart and mind, we go! We must with reverence serve a God of Love, And Truth, and Tolerance, and gentle Peace; It matters not what creed — worship above A little faith of sects — and war will cease. Frail fear and envy fade and fall away; In day attend our fellows with the light Of helpfulness and hope; and learn to pray Unselfishly and quietly at night. For — if we bring an honest heart, a mind And arm that joy in labor finely done, We shall with singing know, and sudden find. The work is finished and the banner won. When we have done these things unfalteringly. We shall have served ourselves uith dignity. . . . Swiftly the shadows melt before the light. That rises in the east, sublime and warm ; The cold star of our fear is no more bright, It falls. Above the murmur of the storm. Rejoicing swells upon the chanting wind ; Stilled are the cries of doubting and distress. The burst of tears was cruel, but it is thinned, Each new-washed leaf is bright with happiness. The sadness in the air has taken flight. The dry dust of the past is laid and gone. So let this be a soon forgotten night, Now — we must turn our faces to the dawn. Awake . . .

ANNE MARTINEAU, B12 o hundred twenty-seven A Soeg of Victory I looked upon the surging sea At dusk; the gulls were winging home To cliff and crag and sheltered roost, All blackly limned against a sky Of threat ' ning red and dying fire. The sun dipped quickly in the sea, Extinguishing the glowing cliffs With purple shades and cooling all With peaceful night. Naught stirred except the swirling sand; The very winds seemed not to move And then — out of the mist a ship Appeared — a Viking ship bedecked With flags and shields of burnished bronze Her sail was boldly set; she bore Her band of heroes bravely on To distant shores of strange wild lands And out of sight. But scarcely had they passed from view When yet another glided by. She reared herself above the waves In pride, and dipped to meet the swells. Treasure she bore from Mexico To haughty don and mistress proud, Of old Castile and Aragon. She moved along in stately pride, Ignoring ships, and boasting strength Of robust age. A fickle breeze caressed the deep And stirred the swells with fitful gusts, While combers broke on sandy strand And foaming, strove to reach the top Of lofty dunes and wind-swept beach, Just as wild beasts, in pitfalls trapped. Attempt to scale the walls of fate. Then foiled, they fall back in wrath To hated cage, and growling, plan Another trial for vain escape And nurse their rage. The whitecaps race in wild array; The breakers crash with mighty roar. Then swooping through the lifting fog, A snow white cloud bursts into view. Her wings are spread to catch the gale. Her jib is moist with churned up spray. A clipper ship, a Yankee ship, With purpose fixed and goal in sight To windward veers. Behind the eagle flies the hawk, A steel clad boat with funnels black. More confident than those before, It plunges through the yeasty waves. Its huge propellers churn with might And make the water boil beneath The low grey stern in eddies black. It little recks of storm or blast And disappears. Then suddenly the waves grew still And stars came forth in radiant light. I noticed that the sand was cold And gleamed with ghostly moonbeams pale. I strained to catch a parting glimpse Of what had passed before my eyes. I searched in vain for sight of ship Upon that wide expanse of sea And nothing found. But I had seen the soul of man, Of Viking warrior, strong in might. I heard his roving spirit sing In harmony with swelling waves. His spirit conquered nature ' s wiles And forced the earth to nurture him. His spirit made the sea his friend And gave the world a priceless gift. His gift is still the strength and will To brave the storm and challenge fate In search of lands beyond our ken! What meant the caravels of Spain? For what had man thus ventured forth Upon the deep and somber sea? Columbus and Magellan sailed For more than savage Viking thrill! They sailed in search of shining truth And for the knowledge of the world. They sailed that man might know himself And taste the sweets as well as dregs Of this, our earthly paradise. The Yankee skipper challenged storms To stay his course and heeded not The treach ' rous tides because he knew His men, his ship, and last — himself. The captain of the steel clad boat Laughed at the seething waves and turned His ship to face the blast because He was the heir to all before. I saw man ' s great resource to be The strength of spirit and of soul That made him overcome the sea And force the waves to do his work. And now in times of national stress, When all seems black and almost gone, While industry lies on the ground And men tramp streets in desperate hordes, The one bright speck in all this mob, The one resource that offers hope Of conquering gloom and dismal times, Is yet that old and stubborn strength That our forebears have left to us. That spirit lives in us today And lifts us on to greater heights. The one resource that never failed Is depth of soul!

Reading, far and wide, is the most important kind of labor, necessary for this an- nexation. I should read for facts, scientific and historical; but more important, I should read for the ideals, philosophies, and inspirations of the authors. My acquaintance with these things and understanding of them will be as the generals, the ammunition, the soldiers, and the plans for my conquest of more territory. Attentively, I should listen to worth while conversationalists; often people have fine thoughts, ingenious and clever, which they cannot express in writing, but are only too willing to offer to a ready listener. I will find from these interviews, new ex- pressions, more thinking material, and with each new thought turned over in my brain, I have gained another province. I should enter into conversations, even though they are petty; for from them, if they are average discourses, I shall learn to think a little more quickly, to be more alert; and this altertness is a dominant factor in gaining lands, for no indifferent king can arrange agreements satisfactorily. Next, I should turn to art and music and learn even if I cannot take part in them, to appreciate them. Some of the most exquisite inspirations, and profound philoso- phies may be found in the compositions of the masters of art and music; and the stimulation and new insight on life along with the intense pleasure derived from these works will be as the wind and motor which, together, propel my ship to new ports of conquest. I should commune with nature, observe her beauties, love her. I ought to ap- preciate her forests, her hayfields, her brooks, her oceans, and all her other countless bounties. I should find solace in her quiet and exhilaration in her noise, and become awakened, revivified, and instilled with the supreme sense of the exquisiteness of her creations. I ought to store her glories in my mind so that they will be there ever to rest and relax me on my march of conquest, my hunt for the precious gold of new thought found in lands just on the horizon. But in vain are all these suggestions if I only follow and forget them. My dominion will only be augmented if I contemplate thoroughly all that I have learned from the above ways. The result of my meditations should be careful segregation of this mass of knowledge, to obtain the important and worth while properties, excluding all impurities, which are illogical conclusions and superficial thoughts. After this task is done, I should then hold in my grasp the precious metal, a fine education, which will be the tender offered for the purchasing of infinite states. Following the acquiring of this education, the strengthening of the walls will be a simple task. In this first understanding and then accepting the ideals of the great sages, supplemented with my own, I shall have developed a character which is inspired and uplifted above the temptations of common men. From an appreciation of the beauties of the works of nature and the works of men, I shall have acquired a philo sophy, which only by the knowledge in all things, will lift me above sordidness. Thus will my enclosure be enforced and my kingdom protected. And when the boundaries of my territory are infinitely increased and the walls which envelop it become indomitable, strong, then, and then only, will it become that kind of a kingdom over which it is a privilege to rule, and in which it is a greater privilege to live. It will then be a kingdom in which the king has established museums, which have been outfitted with the material obtained from alertness to all the ways by which knowledge is acquired; art galleries, which are hung with pictures that have been born of patient studv of the paintings, sketches, drawings, etchings, and great works of the masters. There will be music halls in which reverberate the works of the supreme musicians of all times, and which were built by the awakened sense of appreciation for truly beautiful compositions, libraries containing the finest of the scriptures of men. The mere establishment of these museums, art galleries, music hundred twenty-nine halls, and libraries will never be enough. The king must perpetually increase their store of content, adding to it, if possible, along with the creations of others, his own inventive pieces. When material for this work has been provided, then must the king establish places of relaxation, of quiet meditation, in which can be called to life the remembrances of April, along with the memories of green trees, of magenta and gold skies at dusk, of soft-trilling birds, and other joys of nature. In addition, there should be established another recreation ground, one in which will be found bygone remembrances of well-spent and happy hours. In these places of repose shall I seek and find refreshment. Here will my mind be recreated, my spirits revivified. Here shall I find the true fountain of youth. All the actions of the king in this great kingdom of the mind shall be guided and inspired by only One. The reverence and awe of Him shall be the impelling factor of all deeds. His breath shall permeate the entire land, which will be, because of it, infinitely purer. The ruler who lets his kingdom be made noble and pure by his be- liefs in God will himself be made noble and pure by the Almighty One. Knowing all these requisites for a good kingdom, I will endeavor to pattern my domain in this way: for God gave me a kingdom, which is more sacred and beautiful to me than any other in the world, which I desire to sanctify and glory, first by my aspirations and ambitions, ultimately by my deeds. JANE MOYSE, A12 The lefliuieee© of §■ Science has profoundly influenced social relations between individual members of the various nations, and on a still larger scale, between the nations themselves. By considering the social trend brought about by science and the problems which have arisen since her coming, we shall be able more readily to understand present con- ditions and to make provisions for their betterment in the future. Although the in- ventions and discoveries made by men of science constitute magnificent achievements, the spirit of science has had more important effects upon society as a whole. This spirit of science may best be defined as the desire to know. In the words of a famous scientist, The most precious gift of science to the world is not her marvel- lous inventions, her amazing discoveries; her supreme bestowment has been the purpose, the spirit, and the method she has introduced into our thinking. After science gained somewhat universal acceptance, this spirit and method gradu- ally forced its way into the minds of the people. As soon as the masses began to think for themselves, they became dissatisfied with their rulers. No longer would they accept unquestionably the dictation of tyrants. In this way, science paved the way for the adoption of democracy by arousing the people against the existing forms of government. Thus did science first make herself felt in social changes. However, after her establishment, science made rapid advances while methods of government progressed very slowly by comparison. Indeed, there is a question as to whether they improved at all. Morover, science, in progressing, altered the very nature of society in two ways. In the first place, the demand for experts was greatly increased. We can easily see that this need extended into the field of government as well as into other lines. Be- cause of the many inventions of science, a person in authority today possesses a great deal more power then he would have had in the same position in the past. Con- sequently, if we are to be governed successfully, we must have for leaders the most competent men available. Yet, our system of choosing leaders does not accomplish this ideal. Men are elected by the prejudices and emotions of the voters instead of being selected for their merit. Therefore, should we be surprised to find our government unable to cope with present problems? Secondly, science has caused society to become increasingly organic; that is, the members of our society are more interdependent than ever before. This increased organic character should be met by an increase in organization. We mean by organi- h ii iniri ii thirty zation that the acts of each member of a group are carried out for the welfare of the whole. However, under our present system, each of us is allowed to work for his own selfish aims with little regard for the well being of his fellows. Too large a proportion of our business enterprises are conducted for personal profit at the expense of the interests of another party. Consequently, is it strange that political and economic conditions are in their present state? Quite obviously, we must find a remedy for these evils. However, let us first consider a second set of problems, those concerned witli international relations. Science has wrought even more important changes in inter- national affairs than she has in conditions within the various nations. She has caused the same two basic transformations in the character of civilization, namely, the in- creased need for experts and the more organic nature of humanity. As regards the first of these, the world has met the situation quite admirably. The majority of the executives of the leading nations are competent, and have the welfare of their people at heart. Most of the weak and vicious leaders are eliminated either by violence or by vote. On the other hand, we have failed lamentably to cope with the second change. Although nations are more interdependent than ever before, international organization is non-existent. Nations are much too selfish in their aims, and economic and political anarchy have resulted. The economic situation is briefly this. Each nation strives to produce everything itself in the attempt to become independent. With the help of science, in- dustrial plants can produce much more then the people can consume. Con- sequently, we are afflicted with over-production and its attendant evils of unemployment for the wage-earner, and bankruptcy for the capitalist. Yet, the political situation is even more serious. Science has advanced particularly rapidly in perfecting the art of destruction. She has often been blamed for the disasters of modern warfare. The fault lies with those who use her. She is merely a force which can be employed for good or evil, and she is equally effective in both cases. Furthermore, science has unfortunately developed means for attack to a much higher degree than those for defense. We can draw our own conclusions from this fact. Suffice it to say that the consensus of opinion of the experts is that modern civilization will be seriously endangered in the event of another large scale war. Yet even in view of these facts, there have been no concerted efforts for world peace. Human motives of selfishness, suspicion, and greed have stood in the way of any definite agreement. So long as there are those in authority who are influenced by these motives, no effective peace can ever be consummated. Up to this point, our discussion has been extremely gloomy. Only problems and evils have been pointed out, and nothing constructive has been suggested. Now that we have seen clearly what the problems are, we are better able to consider possible solutions. The field of possible solutions is a wide one. Let us refer to a somewhat conservative plan of Dr. Robert A. Millikan, noted physicist. It is very simple, con- sisting of two parts. First, he would have civilization adopt the objective mode of approach to its problems. This method is one in which all the facts are gathered with- out regard to prejudice or presupposition, and then the data is analyzed to see what conclusions necessarily follow from them. In a word, the plan advocates peaceful arbitration of all difficulties rather than settlement by violence. Dr. Millikan refers us to the League of Nations as a good example of a body which is employing this method in settling disputes between nations. He states, It is trying for the first time in human history to use the objective mode of approach to international difficul- ties in the conviction that there is some better solution than the arbitrament of war. Secondly, society would have to incorporate the altruistic spirit into its character. This step, in the writer ' s opinion, is even more essential than the first. Without the help of this altruistic spirit, no society can be happy or lasting. Science can merely teach us what to do; only our own moral courage and consideration for others can make us do it. To quote Sir Oliver Lodge, The most essential instruments of progress are the old historic human virtues of goodwill and co-operation. Finally, the question arises as to how we can best bring about the more wide- spread adoption of these virtues. Probably, our only hope is through the medium of education. If enough people can be made to realize the value of the practice of the Golden Rule, human progress will surely follow. Thus, the outlook for humanity is not entirely dark. We have seen how science, principally by introducing a new spirit and method of thinking, has influenced social trends in the past. Let us hope that we shall become a happier race as a result of the more widespread use of virtue, aided by the ever-increasing knowledge given us by science. EDMUND CLARKE, B12 hundred thirty-one Upper Division — Prize story They first met when Penny ' s roadster came to a screeching standstill a few inches from Limpy. Hurry up, pull up the lead! shouted Penny, impatiently sticking his head out of the window, but Limpy shuffled on, glancing over his shoulder and mumbling half audibly. Then Penny saw that Limpy was crippled, one leg paralyzed, and he rode on around the corner. It was at least a year before they met again. They were in the same history class. Penny had forgotten the boy with the slow, awkward gait, but Limpy re- membered Penny in the bright red roadster. He stood for something. His abrupt entrance had lifted Limpy from the rut of inferiority to a road that led upward. To surpass Penny was an ideal. When the steps seemed endless, and the up, down-up jerk of his walk sent pin-prickles into his heart, Limpy wanted to hold the heavy books at arm ' s length and fling them down the hall to hear the loud clap as they hit the floor. But Penny and the ideal were there. Pull up the lead! Someone had shouted that at him because he couldn ' t hurry. Things like that hurt. There was only one way to stop that hurt — overcome it. He wouldn ' t shout that at a crippled fellow; therefore he was better than Penny. He had to prove that. Then Limpy would hold the cold iron railing a bit tig hter, and after the top step it was easier. In history they sat across the aisle. When Penny recited, he usually slumped in his desk and his answers were unhampered by grammar. The second day Limpy an- swered the question Penny had missed. Penny looked at Limpy for just a minute; then looked away, but in that moment a grey curtain of doubt fell before the ideal. Limpy faltered and the road upward became a steep curving grade. The long walk home, up, down-up, was work; studying in the cold back room was work; climbing up was work; but the ideal was work, and Limpy was meeting it slowly — up, down-up, and it was coming nearer. Already there were many friends. They never shouted, Pull up the lead, but sometimes their silences shouted it. Then, just to fling the books — Penny didn ' t worry about his books. On test days he wore long sleeves with little pieces of penciled paper up them; then he might get an A or a B. On other days, someone usually whispered from the front of the room, or the back. The world had bowed to Penny and his father ' s fortune for seventeen years; it was improbable that Penny could learn to bow to it now, or ever. He had friends, too. Borrow a nickle? Ridin ' home my way? When there was nothing they wanted, it was only hello, and they went on. Or else they didn ' t see him when he passed in the hall. They usually saw him in history, for he had the little slip of paper in his sleeve, and the tests weren ' t easy. Limpy saw the paper dart in and out nervously. He noticed the shifting glances of the fellows; then it was easier to sit straighter and smile defiantly over their heads at the dusky figures on the f ront board. The words came easier then because they were sincere and ran smoothly in even lanes across the paper. One day, when Penny ' s paper lay curled in the moist palm of his hand, the teacher saw it from the front of the room. William, bring me that paper! Aw, it ' s nothing. He didn ' t offer the paper; and everyone stared; and the girls giggled when she walked down and took the scrap and read it. On the way back from the office, Penny passed the awkward fellow in the hall. Their eyes met for just a moment, and Limpy faltered unconsciously. It took an effort to put his chin up and to force the steady gaze that wavered ever so slightly under Penny ' s cold stare. It was that guy with the limp. I bet anything, Penny told someone. If I ever get the chance! In the A12, the chance came. Runnin ' for class president. Pen? Sure. Know who ' s runnin ' against you? Not yet. That little guy with the paralyzed leg— what a joke to think he has a chance against you! It was a joke. Penny laughed to himself when he thought of it. No one wanted a Blow-moving, handicapped fellow tor a class president. They wanted a tough guy hundred thirty-two who played football and had something to show before a crowd. Penny was on the second string: he ought to mention that in the speech. He wondered what else to mention about himself; there was sure a lot. What a cinch! On the day of the nomination, he had to laugh again. Someone called a name. A slightly bent figure arose slowly and shifted the useless leg along to the platform. The long seconds dragged. Penny grinned. Who ' d ever want a fellow like that for a class officer? No presence! Limpy made the mistake of looking back as he climbed the platform steps. Penny grinned: the hall was quiet, waiting — Pull up the lead! It was like a load of lead in Linipy ' s heart. He forgot the words he had recited over and over before the mirror the night before. Penny grinned; then suddenly the lead lifted. Limpy reached the top step, and for the first time, looked down, down on Penny. Pull up the lead? But the lead was gone. They were smiling — how easy it was for him to smile and stand straighter. Fellows and girls, he began clearly and assuredly. EVELYN DONLEY, B12 The Realization of Oinir Opportunities The beauties and virtues, the inspirations and achievements, of this present era shine small in contrast to the sorrow and the corruption and the shame we see about us. It is not enough to justify these conditions by saying we live in a changing world; we must make a swift and tangible attempt to rectify these evils. There is certainly no excuse for the universal moral degredation which has been rampant since the World War. We, the Youth of America, have lived our whole lives in such an atmosphere. Yet within ourselves, we feel a desire to be of true worth. We are aware that our materialistic civilization has done little to further higher life — that life in which we find art, morality, peace, and social stability. We can not overlook the fact that barbaric movements are present in Europe and America. The lesson of higher living must be learned to save civilization; and that lesson can be- come effective through the realization of our opportunities. Mere discourse upon and admiration of our opportunities will be of absolutely no value to us. We must convert them from the vague being of idle commentation into the concrete existence of real essentials in our everyday life. To do this, we must first know exactly what our opportunities are; and then, we must set our efforts to their useful and beneficial development. We may easily class our opportunities in two divisions, those which we find through group relations, and those which we have within ourselves. Through the group, we have been given the chance for education, an opportunity which has led us to other advantages. At first in the elementary grades, they were principally for play and friendly associations. Then, as we progressed from that childish stage and became seekers of knowledge, there lay before us the revelation that the advantages offered to us through our learning were manifold. Through our education, we know theories of government which have been successful and those which have not; we know facts of history and can compare them with modern events; and we are capable of quickly grasping new ideas and of visioning the good and bad points of each. These tasks an illiterate person cannot perform. Thus, we see that learning leads to clear think- ing. It is not the educated man who is swayed by the crowd or follows the shouting soap-box orator, but the unknowing, unthinking man, satisfied with having his govern- mental affairs handed to him on a platter of deception and propaganda. Therefore we must learn, and think; and if each individual thinks clearly, instead of consorting with riots, strikes, and unrest, we shall have a country in which each individual co- operates with the others, having the good of all in view. Leadership toward this goal of a splendid civilization will he more successful when we have a co-operative group which sees, as does its leader, that the path of progress lies through co-operation, justice, and righteousness. Politics, which through the experience of recent years has come to be thought of as dishonest and tricky legis- lation, will come to be the genuine pursuance of the art and science of government. Let us then, with all these opportunities before us, work with true sincerity so that as a result of our learning, the survival of American democracy will be positive. Our American democracy makes possible friendships and social contacts with all classes of people. These contacts keep us from being purely self-centered and dog- matic for through our associations we absorb others ' ideas and points of views. Of great advantage to us are these contacts, for they provide us pleasure and are conducive to more efficiency and progression in the business world. We must, how- ever, take care that business does not assume a major part of our lives, for the tragic o hundred thirty-three events of these past few years show us clearly that a materialistic life is not of true value to us. In the complex machinery of the business world, we can not remain individuals. To retain our individualism and to keep a balanced life, we must develop ourselves from within. We young people have an advantage truly our own in our Youth, which because of its short livedness, is perhaps one of the most precious we may ever have. Being young, we adapt ourselves more easily to changing conditions. We have confidence, courage, determination, and vision which are necessary for us to bring our civilization, if we will, into a new condition. This new condition of higher life, into which we shall lead society, depends greatly upon the development of the talents present in each individual. This development will release individuals from mere subsistence into the fuller life of appreciation of and creation in the arts, literatures, and sciences. Tiiis cultural enrichment will bring the group to a higher life in which they appreciate beauty and fineness, and through which they are able to progress to splendid heights of true living, thus assuring its survival. Living completely is impossible without well directed thought, which, whether original in one ' s own mind, or adopted from others, leads to greater understanding among peoples. We are offered our privileges of freedom of speech, our schools, our radios, and the books in our libraries, splendid opportunities for finding and assimilating new ideas. When we are sensitized to the thoughts of others, we feel within ourselves a greater appreciation of all things beautiful. This aesthetic apprecia- tion implants in us a deep, instinctive feeling of higher values which is religion in its simplest thoughtful form. This religious attitude, when felt by all, will bring the group into a more effective and closer union which is needed to insure America ' s ex- istence as a democracy. We youth have before us these opportunities for advancement into a genuine and worth while life which will be the solution to America ' s present need. We may be able to lift our country out of the mire of dissension, propaganda, and unrest. Let us not have our sensibilities so deadened by materialistic affairs that we disregard civilization ' s cry for moral uplift. As we work to bring to civilization the realization of its needs, let us not be discouraged but remember We fall to rise; are baffled to fight better. MARION JOHNSON. Editor-in-chief ;Viva Mexie©!! Lower Division — Prize Story He ' e ya ' , la-dee! Evenin ' papa ' ! Evenin ' papa ' , eve ' body! Evenin ' papa ' ! Standing on the corner of a busy city thoroughfare was a little brown boy. He wore a pair of shabby trousers, four or five sizes too large for him. and a pair of straggly suspenders supporting them at the waist. The remains of a blue denim shirt, so tattered and worn that his thin body showed in places, covered the upper portion of his body. A discarded brown tweed cap, showing unmistakable signs of the junk heap, was pulled low over his eyes. His little feet were bare, and blue with cold. But in spite of his wearing apparel and the snow under his feet, his head was held high, and there was an unquenchable fire in his flashing black eyes. Here you are, Sonny, said an elderly, grey-haired man, pressing a twenty-five cent piece into the stiff little fingers. As the child fumbled in his pocket for the change, the man, saying kindly, Keep the change, little boy, turned and strode away, cutting short the lad ' s heartfelt, Muchas gracias, sefior, and grateful bow. Plucky little devil, he thought, as he hurried to the subway, I must ask Mrs. Wells to see if she can help him. at least give him something warm to eat. Heavens, it ' s cold. I don ' t see how the child stands it! Meanwhile, the little boy on the corner, all his papers disposed of, wended his way homeward. He turned in at a dusty tenement house in the slums. Climbing five flights of stairs, he entered a shabby room. His mother, a rather heavy-set Mexican, greeted him with a smile on her pock-marked face. ;Ah, madre mia, hace frio! (Ah, Mother, it is cold!) Si, nino, it is cold, but not for long. Reynaldo has worked, and soon we will be able to return to the home country. iOjala, for that day! But, Mother, vou know Reynaldo and Conchita and I would never have been content had we not come to the United States to make our fortunes. iPor Dios, we have cer- tainly made our fortunes! At this moment a slender, dark-eyed, dark-haired girl burst into the room. iMadre y Juan, escuchad! (listen!)

She said she would call this night. Ah, we must clean this room, pulling this and pushing that, while order began to come from chaos under the busy fingers. iConchita mia, ten cuidado! (have care! ) The wonderful Americana will not come yet : we must eat, and Reynaldo must return before we eat. iSi, madre, but I can hardly wait! Buenas tardes, came a voice from the hall, as the last of the family made his entrance into the room. He was a tall, stalwart young man, pleasant of feature, and sparkling of eye. ;Ah, Juan, nifio! How does the paper-selling go today? as he swung the little boy to his shoulder. All sold? : Bueno, bueno! Soon we will be able to return home. Come, children, we must have nourishment and prepare for the lovely Ameri- cana. The family seated themselves around the small, circular table, all bowing their heads in silent grace before partaking of the coarse, simple food. After the meal was eaten and cleared away, Conchita set about cleaning the room, while Reynaldo and Juan took turns at the washbowl, and scrubbed their hands and faces until they shone. Meanwhile the mother stepped behind the curtain that was drawn across the center of the room to hide the shabby beds. About ten minutes later, there came a soft tap at the door. A startled glance passed between mother and children, as though now that the looked-for moment had arrived, they wished that it could be postponed. Then Conchita Hew to the door, opened it wide, and with a smile upon her lovely face, said in the quaint Spanish fashion. Welcome, sefiora; our humble dwelling is yours. We have long awaited your coming! As the stranger crossed the threshold, she gave a gasp of amazement and delight. Instead of the dingy tenement room she had expected to find, it was glowing with warmth and welcome. True, the room itself was humble, but the Mexican decorations, and someone ' s wonderful touch had changed the entire atmosphere into that of a Spanish hacienda. A threadbare Mexican poncho covered the worn red sofa, its colors rich and glowing, old though it obviously was. The glaring light from the one chande- lier in the room, was softened by an ancient cream colored satin shawl. True Spanish, that, it must have been handed down from generation to generation. There were dried chili peppers hanging from the uncovered rafters, lending an air of savagery that was wholly bewitching. She felt as if she had stepped into a bit of old Mexico. She half expected to find the Latin family dressed in native costume, but no, there they were, wearing discarded rags, but proud and happy, their faces shining with soap and the gladness of welcome! The strange lady was introduced by Conchita as Mrs. Wells, to her mother and brothers. Mrs. Wells liked Reynaldo and the sefiora, but it was little Juan whom she instantly loved. He was so small and thin, so adorably shy, yet so plucky and undaunted! When, at last, after an hour ' s delightful talk with this interesting family, she arose to say goodbye, she had resolved to do all in her power to aid them in return- ing to Mexico. Bright and early the next morning the family was startled by a loud knock at the door. When Conchita opened it, a messenger handed her a package, saying it was from Mrs. Wells. When opened, it was found to contain a warm red sweater, woolen socks, and sturdy shoes for Juan; an overcoat for Reynaldo; a warm, woolen dress for Conchita; and also a dress for the sefiora. Their joy knew no bounds. Little Juan began jumping up and down, his eyes getting rounder and brighter every second. Reynaldo hugged Conchita and Juan, and the mother gathered them all in her arms, while tears of joy streamed down her face. Mrs. Wells had wisely refrained from pressing too much upon their pride, sending only the immediate necessities. You can imagine that little Juan went to his papers warmly clad and with a light heart, as did Conchita, to school, Reynaldo to his work, and the sefiora to her homely household tasks. A month later found the family, still wearing the clothes Mrs. Wells had given them, embarked in a third-class sleeper, happily on their way back home to Mexico! As they crossed the border, little Juan waved his hand. Adios. United States, you have been wonderful experience, but it ' s grand to be home again! and turning his eyes forward, he shouted lustily, iViva Mexico!

Of these problems, the gravest ones for school, home, and community are not raised by the relatively small number of criminals but by lack of ideals of the larger number of quite respectable per- sons These have one set of standards for home affairs, another for business, one for duty towards their nation, one for wartime, and another for peace. The marriage problem, the labor problem, the international situation, are questions which are thrust upon us in America. However, these problems are considered by only the few in the light of high comprehensive ideals for the destiny of all human life. Be assured, said Gladstone that life is a great and noble calling, not a mean or groveling thing through which we are to shuffle as we can, but a lofty and elevated destiny. I wonder if we can say that any such convictions supply to most of our college graduates a focalizing direction for their home life, their business career, and indeed for all other human relationships. , Nevertheless, there has been much progress. Our schools are much better than they were fifty years ago; our political methods are improving; our interest in beauty, in social justice is wider-spread. But there still remains a great responsibility upon our educators to point the way to a more excellent life and greater achievements by so deeply instilling idealistic principles that they take precedence over all other thoughts. What advantage is there in any educational system where this prime requisite to true democracy is not so thoroughly inculcated as to fortify, sufficiently, the student against the many obstacles and temptations which will challenge the strength of his ideals ' Huge sums of money and years of study are spent in training men for a profession training them to think, and to work, with the ultimate view that these abilities will be used in some way to further the general progress of the nation and the individual ' s happiness and welfare. What good is all this, if, through weakness of character a man is swerved from the path of right, and this ability he has gained is diverted into channels and practices lacking high ideals, practices symbolized in our political life today by graft and corruption? For a remedy to these problems, we must look to changes in our social mechanism; but the fundamental resources must be, in the largest sense, educational, and must emphasize moral training and development. The most important ethical agency when it is rightly inspired is found in the actual performances of people themselves. To- day our better institutions of learning are capitalizing this fact, realizing that stu- dents take to activities much more readily than they do to the relatively passive business of listening or reading. They are eager to engage in athletics, to act plays, and to perform dozens of tasks impossible for those who merely sit at a desk and study or recite In these, one of the richest veins in education has been tapped in recent years by turning these energies into some form of progressive activity. The especial value of this is the first-hand experience gained by the students in meeting these problems which are within the comprehension of their understanding. They appreciate more readily that their school is a community for which they must perform certain functions for the good of the entire membership; that is, it must safeguard the health of its mem- bers protect them against injury from the indifferent or ill-disposed. Also, it must bring the weakest up to standard intelligence, refinement, and moral character; and it must encourage all to reach new and higher levels. These are tasks of the adult citizenship into which they are later to enter. Instead of frowning upon the desire of young people to act upon their initiative, we should have learned that only upon these very interests can be laid the basis for sturdy moral development. However, it is to be easily de- duced that there is yet a broad field in institutions of learning that offers unlimited possibilities for the introduction of new and wiser ethical standards. Our duty then, towards society and our fellow-man, is to point the way to a finer and more noble life by emphasizing the moral and spiritual development as the keynote in our educational system. When this has been so successfully accomplished that idealistic principles guide our every thought and action, then and only then, shall we approach that realm of existence wherein lies the spirit of a new dawn.

JANE LEWIS, A12 HUMAN RESOURCES OF AMERICA These are not heroes to set up and stare at, But brave little humans with short lives to live. They set aside toys, and brief, shining pleasures- Something is restless within them. They give. Bitter, or tired, bewildered, few happy, Stubborn, courageous, and children of fate, They hold high their torches; though heat sear their fingers. The light floods the world. In this, they are great! THE LEADER The battle in the cold, black night has ceased— The terror and the awful chaos-sound, And in the bright, relentless light of day We gaze upon the dreadful battle ground.

With one leg gone, and gas-torn lungs I dream eternal peace. . . . THE WRITER I loved a soldier, and the war took him, Took him, and threw him away. His eyes, when I slow my quick pace to his crutches, Tell me more than his lips or his silence say. Oh, world you are stupid, wicked and stupid. Your heroes have died, or come home worse than dead. Now you feel horror, but time quickly passes, A bugle will sound, and will silence war ' s dread. What one soldier told me in shocked, jerked-out phrases, I will set down in red words that will keep. And men who shall read them, far down the ages Will writhe in their souls, hating war, while they weep!

I should feel triumphant now — I made them laugh for a little while. THE PREACHER They come to me on Sunday morn, My little flock of well-dressed sheep. They watch me as I pray for them, With wide, cold eyes — or else they sleep. Their clothes are neat and Sunday-good, How spotless is each separate mind?

The melody ended, and on their rapt faces That I had thought hard, I saw bright tears gleam. Oh, I must be kind, since I ' m given the power — I thought as I watched the cheering throng — Of snatching a man, or a thousand men Where I will, on the thread of a song. . . .

Do not mourn my dreams, that life will shatter. I know that life is rending and unkind. I was born in lean and hungry years, The tattered years the war-gods left behind. Being young, I have played gaily; lightly, But this last year has dragged, a little slow. Now I am done with play, the gates are open, The time at last has come for me to go. I ' m ready, life, and I accept your challenge. I promise you a long and splendid fight. Use all your ancient and unsporting wiles, But let me warn you that my sword is bright ! They have spoken, and not in the thunder of god-men, But in small human words, of the feelings we know. We have seen them exultant, striving, discouraged; Found that they travel the same road we go. . . . Yet, there is something of steel within them Refined to white clearness by deathless fire.

In order that the physical resources of the girls of L. A. may receive the best opportunity for develop- ment, each term a cabinet is formed, comprising the presidents of the different G. A. A. clubs that they may further the interests and activities of the girls. This cabinet, first organized in 1925, sponsors all the G. A. A. activities, including the daily after- school practice and inter-class tournaments, Play Days, Get Acquainted Parties, and banquets. By these activities, it is hoped that the characters and personalities of the girls as well as their physical aptitudes will be developed. This term, the Cabinet sponsored a special membership drive in order to stimulate a greater interest in the G. A. A. This drive was unique in that there were two teams formed for obtaining new members; the losers gave a party to the winning side. Mem- bership cards to the G. A. A. were presented to those girls attending a certain number of team practices. The success of the G. A. A. is due largely to the sponsorship of the Cabinet and Miss Richards. The other members are: Dorothy Webley, president of the L. A.

Letter Society is a group of selected girls who have excelled in athletics, maintained a high scholastic standing, and shown the attitude of sportsmen. It is an honorary society of the girls ' physical education department, and admittance into this organization is the highest hope of every G. A. A. member. i nis club was formed in 1927. Since then, it has been reorganized and a new constitution drawn. It is one of the few organizations with which its alumni keep in active contact through the L. A. Letter Alumni Association. Meetings are held every other week, business and social alternating. At the social meetings, competitive seasonable sport games are played among the members or with the graduates. Each active member is given the privilege of wearing a blue sweater with her letter. The purpose of this club is to further the interests of athletics and good fellow- ship among the girls and to be of service to this school in any way possible. Their help was very valuable during the Girls ' League Convention. On Friday morning, the guests on arrival were registered at canopied tables on the lawn back of the girls ' gymnasium. This work was efficiently and pleasantly done by the G. A. A. girls.

Arelhery Climb President: Isabel Miles Secretary: Gerry Smith Head of sport: Mary Voelker Sponsor: Miss Margie Richards As ancient as archery may seem to us today, it still reigns as one of the most popu- lar forms of activity among the girls of Los Angeles High School. Because it is an out of door, all season sport which can be enjoyed by many who cannot participate in more strenuous games, the girls of America are interested in it. and by taking part in this activity, develop their physical and intellectual resources. This club, as well as the others of the school, helps to bring the girls together to form closer friendships which are in turn made stronger by this common interest, archery. In this group, the girls not only become better acquainted with the use of the bow and arrow, but they also develop skill as archers by practice every week and by friendly competition among themselves and with girls from other schools in playdays. These archers de- velop a keen sense of true sportsmanship, self-control, self-reliance, and fair play which will be as valuable to them in later life as will the accomplishment of shooting a bow and arrow with accuracy. The success, popularity, and skill of the members of the club are due in a large sense to the excellent sponsorship of Miss Margie Richards, who has taken a very active interest in the group since its organization. The following girls are members of the club: Muriel Auerbaeh. Norma Dolan. Virginia Hunt. Ruth Henry, Jean Kunkel, Isabel Miles. Prescilla Prescott. Mary Vir- ginia Pyne.

Dorothy Albright The ability to act in a critical emergency is a valuable human resource and an achievement of which to be proud. The Life-Saving Club is an organization which pre- pares girls in one of the most essential but very much neglected duties. Great patience, perseverance, and courage are required to perfect the art of life saving; and these characteristics will be of great value to the girls in the future. This club was organized in 1933 under the sponsorship of Miss L. Dorothy Albright, and its popularity is shown by the fact that it now has forty-six members. The purpose of this organization is to foster public interest in life saving through demonstrations, classes, and contests. This club also provides opportunity for exchange and development of new facts concerning this work; it assists the American Red Cross in maintaining and raising the standards of life saving.

Rifle Club President: Dorothy Slaughter Secretary: Jean McCarn Sponsor: Miss F. E. Rogers The Rifle Club is perhaps one of the most unique and popular clubs offered to the girls of the Los Angeles High School. It teaches self-control, the true code of a sportsman, co-operation, and preparedness, all of which are very valuable human resources. In addition to being instructive, the club affords a splendid opportunity to make new friends and to enjoy old comrades. The members of the club number twenty-three. Those girls, continually raising their individual scores, are awarded medals, pins, and certificates by the National Rifle Association. The girl considered the best all-around shot of the year is awarded a gold medal. Every Monday after- noon, the girls shoot on the rifle range located under the west bleachers; they use the regular school rif les. They attempt to maintain high standards scholastically and athle- tically, proving that the members live up to the club motto — Hit where you aim, and know at what you are aiming. Their splendid marksmanship and the success of the club are due to the excellent instruction of Sergeant Lawson and the expert guidance of their sponsor, Miss Rogers. The following girls are members of this club: Eleanor Buresh, Marian Clemson, Peggy Crawford, Frances Cummings, Emmy Lou Dell, Carol Diller, Marie Louise Ferte, Joyce Fukushima, Eugenia Hayes, Jean Kunkel, Lucile La Spada, Rosanne Lopez, Virginia Macomber, Jean McCarn, Barbara Merwin, Marian Norris, Lucile Ottis, Mar- garite Owen, Ann Papazian.

In his position at end, he proved a great aid to the team. B4 B BEESON capably filled the vacancy in the backfield left by his brother of last ylar ' s team. No higher compliment could be paid him. ALEX PROPER proved that he deserved his position on the varsity by his fine kicking. It was his technique that helped the team out of many tight spots. HARRY KNAPP was the man who always brought the crowd to its feet with his fancy snake-hipping. His runs were usually good for a nice gain. SID SHELTON was a lineman who proved he could really play there when he was needed. His speed and daring stopped many an opposing team ' s plays where they were started. STAN CHARLLSTON one of the speediest boys on the squad. Because of this fact, he was used for general utility in both the backfield and the line at end. NICK OAKES was a fast moving back who punched holes in the opposing line when his own linemen could not make them. JOHN GIBSON is another undergrader who made his mark. The opposing line found him a tough player to move out. DICK MOE would be an aid to any team. He showed himself capable of disposing of his duties as lineman very well. OWEN WARD may not be a husky player. However, the opposing teams found to their dismay that he was powerful. LEONARD MANDEL after two unsuccessful years in football found himself work- ing part time at the center berth. He worked hard and proved himself able. MELVILLE STRANN was another man who, after two years ' experience, proved him- self the right man to hold down an end position. EARL CLAMPETT was a big worry to the men who fought against him. From his position as sefety man, Earl did fine work. MICHAEL SHANNON. If anyone on the squad deserved credit for hard work, it was Mike. His courage, pep, and enthusiasm set a perfect example for the rest of the team. TED ROSEN looked too small to play the line; but after his first game, he showed skill and determination. PHIL GASPAR, already a letterman in football, showed the determination, fight and sportsmanship that win the game. He will be a great aid to coach Breese next year. ED GARNIER ' S last season was spoiled by injuries which removed him from action. His spectacular playing, a real loss to the team, was made up for in some measure by the enthusiasm and spirit with which he carried on. BALDY HARRIS is another of our graduating lettermen. His ready grin, his personality, and his capable football playing will be remembered by all. ROSS CAIRNS is another reason why L. A. ' s teams are noted for their clean play and sportsmanship. His graduation in June will leave a vacancy on the team which will be hard to fill. TACK BANTA, an eleventh grader, will come back next year to help prove the saying You can ' t beat L. A.

A pass from Voll to McWhinney in the first quarter brought the hall to the center of the field. Gaspar, on a reverse around right end, carried the ball to a touchdown. L. A. attempted to complete a pass for the conversion but failed. The second and third quarters featured an exchange of kicks between Proper of L. A. and Gravante of Venice. Thus far, the Venetians ' passing combination, Gravante to Hale, had proved very annoying to the Romans. In the fourth quarter, these two succeeded in completing a long pass over the L. A. goal. Another pass over right end for the extra point put Venice ahead. With about four minutes of play, L. A. showed superior power, making two first downs in as many plays; but in the last minute, a fumble gave Venice the ball. The Gondoliers played safe; and the game ended L. A., 6 — Venice, 7. On the 19th of October L. A. ' s team fared no better against a strong Fairfax squad. In the first quarter, Fairfax drove the field on a series of line bucks ending the drive with a run around right end netting the Colonials six points. Another right end run made the conversion. In the first half, the Romans played very poor football; but when the second half started, a decided change was noticed in the L. A. eleven. Three times, they pushed the Colonials back into the shadow of their goal; but each time bad breaks prevented a Roman score. Final result: Fairfax, 7 — L. A., 0. Rome ' s third defeat of the season was at the hands of Hollywood on the victor ' s field. In the first quarter, the Romans showed their best playing of the season; but the second quarter found them on the road to ruin. Seiling ' s flashy play proved too Beeson runs back hundred fifty-six Sieling of Hollywood in stopped for no ;jaiti by Banta and Moe of L. A. much for the L. A. defense. Seven Hollywood points were chalked during this period. The last half proved a genuine Roman rout with the ball remaining in L. A. ' s ter- ritory the whole period. Complete downfall stared the Romans in the face as Seiling romped around right end for another touchdown. In the last quarter, Ed Garnier, Roman captain, was removed from the game with a broken jaw. Many other L. A. warriors were also retired from the fray because of injuries. With only a few minutes of play remaining, Hollywood scored against a team composed almost wholly of substitutes. The game ended with L. A. on the short end of a 20 to score. The Pioneers found, to their dismay, that they had not yet reached a climax to their string of defeats. Misfortune again dogged the footsteps of the Roman warriors when they played Beverly Hills High School on the second of November. L. A. fumbled the ball on the first play, giving the Normans first down and twelve yards to go for a touchdown. On the third down, Beverly completed a pass over the goal. An attempted pass for the conversion was blocked by Shelton. In the same quarter, an L. A. end supposedly grounded the ball on Beverly ' s 40-yard line; but as the referee was slow in sounding his whistle, a Beverly player appropriated the pigskin and rambled down the field to the second Norman score. L. A. came into play fighting mad after the kick- off, and following a long pass from Beeson to Voll, line smashes by Oakes and Banta, put the ball into position on the 2-yard stripe from this point Oakes carried it to the lone Roman talley. L.. A. failed to convert. From then until the final gun, the Romans played as if in a daze while the Normans marched down the field to three more touchdowns with little or no opposition. When the game ended, it was a highly discouraged group of L. A. rooters that filed out of the stands; but every Roman still claims that L. A. has the best losing team in the city. Final score: L.

A. took a beating from Washington on the twentieth of November. The Pioneers started off with a bang by fumbling on the second play which gave the Generals a first down on L. A. ' s 13-yard stripe. It was a very simple feat for Washington to push the ball over for a touchdown. The kick was blocked by Shelton. In the second and third quarters, the L. A. aggregation was decidedly outplayed although the Generals themselves displayed a very poor brand of football. Washington smashed down the field to a touchdown in the fourth quarter but failed to convert. A decided change was then noted in the sons of Rome. With Voll, Parker, and Clampett doing the ball tossing, the Romans started down the field piling up the yardage until the ball rested two yards from the promised land. Voil smashed over the center of the line for the touchdown and repeated his performance for the extra point. The Romans were well on their way to another score when the gun sounded ending the game. Score: L. A. 7— Washington, 12. The Pioneer School saved itself from complete football disaster by tying a weak Marshall team 6-6. The game turned out to be a disappointment to the Roman fans as the only exciting spots in the game were the fumbles by both teams. One of these fumbles, in the first quarter, was recovered by a Marshall man over L. A. ' s goal line. Rome actually showed some small sparks of life after being scored upon, and drove the ball to the 35-yard line where a long pass from Beeson to Proper tied the score. Oakes attempted to smash through the line for the conversion but failed. In the last quarter, both teams attempted many passes; but in spite of these, the ball remained in mid- field until the end of the game. Proper makes twenty-five yards by breaking through Marshall ' s end. hundred fifty-eight ' 4l(a _ Front row. Left to right: Landers, Roberts, Seaman, Whitebrook, Sparks, Miron.

Varsity Reserves The varsity reserves are a group of players who are often overlooked when honors are being awarded. This team is made up of those boys who are ineligible for play on the varsity and those who are cut from the first string. Coach Holtfrerich, of the Faculty, and student coach Hoffman have done very fine work with this team. Earl Hoffman occupied the very unusual position of both coach and player. In his position at fullback, he had the advantage of being the only coach able to instruct his players from the field. Norman Miron has very capably discharged his duty as manager. The backfield was composed of Hoffman, Landers, Seaman, and Austin. The line was made up by Fitting, center; Breetwor, guard; Whitebrook, guard; Roberts, tackle; Olson, tackle; Sparks, end; and Sullivan, end.

The Bee record of no defeats and three tied games is one to be envied by every school. The Lightweights tied with Lincoln and Fremont for the City championship. The only factor that held them back was their weak ness for tied games. In the regular league schedule, the Bees battled Hollywood to a 6-6 tie. In the pay-offs for the championship, the L. A. team held both Fremont and Lincoln to tie scores. Perhaps this year ' s team is not the best in the history of the school; but coach Bert LaBrucherie has certainly kept up his record of turning out teams that are a great credit to the school. Coach LaBrucherie has trained many men who will be great assets to next year ' s varsity and Bee teams. Managers Peterson and Kravetz were invaluable aids to the team.

Class C Football Los Angeles High midgets started the season with a 35 to victory over Venice. They followed this with triumphs over tough squads from Belmont and Hollywood. Garfield turned out to be the team who was to stop the Little Men of Rome. The midgets lost a hard-fought battle to them. Undaunted by this defeat, the Cees van- quished Franklin 20 to 0; and Fairfax 19 to 7. Captain Dick Winters, center; Dick Rykoff, half; Merritt Grimes, tackle; and Jack Wyland, quarter made the All-City team. The Cee team was managed by Jack Bomke and Marlin Modesti.

Cross Coeetry With only two returning lettermen, coach Philo Chambers developed a champion- ship cross-country team. The lettermen were Bill Jamieson and Joe Wehrly. Meeting Hollywood in the first meet, this inexperienced Roman team managed to defeat the Arabs by a close score. Avery, Butler, Finch, and Jamieson showed up well for L. A. In their next meet, the leather-lungers beat Beverly High ' s team. Again Butler, Jamie- son, and Randol ran good races for Rome. U. C. L. A. frosh were the next victims of this team. Avery, Butler. Jamieson, Wehrly, Randol, and Russell showed up well. Entering the Western League championship meet, with a record of three wins and no defeats, the Roman team was established as the favorite. The boys lived up to their reputation by capturing the meet and the championship of the Western League. Johnny Butler, BIO, was the first L. A. man over the finish line; he was followed quickly by Wehrly, Avery, Russel. Finch, and Randol. Joe Wehrly was elected captain of the team. Milton Krammer was manager of the distance men this year. hundred sixty-tico ASEETBALL « ftf • ' w Coffin Fill: ii llama Morrison Mc Arthur Carley Delaney airsaty Basketball Roster MACY COFFIN— Center Macy was center on last year ' s lightweight squad.

It was formerly intended that basketball should be a spring term sport; but because of the revision of the leagues, it was allowed to re- main in the fall. The turn-out for this sport was very good. There were about fifty aspirants at the beginning of practice, which number was gradually reduced to twelve. The squad was fortunate in having five men remaining from last years ' group, three recruits from the Bee ' s, and four new additions. The ability of this year ' s squad was demonstrated in a practice game against Manual Arts in which L. A. gave the Toilers a trouncing. The team received a setback at the first of the season by the loss of Phil Zonne, the first string center, who was benched for six weeks because of an injury. As usual, Coach Albert Hemsath had charge of developing the team. Coach Hem- sath, an excellent player himself, devoted much time and effort toward coaching the squad. Through his efforts, each individual improved; and the team as a whole worked into a fast and organized body. Fred Delaney, a Senior A, was chosen manager of the squad and carried out his duties promptly and efficiently. The schedule as released was as follows: December 7 — Venice at L. A. 13 — L. A. at Fairfax January 4 — Hollywood at L. A. 8 — Hollywood at L. A. 11 — L. A. at Beveriy 18 — Inter-locking game 22 — Inter-locking game 22 — Inter-locking game YELL LEADERS Left h, right.

The other members of this year ' s B basketball squad are Jones, Mullen, Lytle, Lieberman, Marshall, Chapman, Yamaka, Hahn, Sherrod, Wilson, Harmons, Frazier, and Thrift. The team was ably managed by John Bolinger. With the skilful coaching by coach Al Bartscherer, this year ' s C basketball squad should be one of the finest in the city. The players ' fine passing, shooting, and team work were shown in a practice game, in which they trounced the Washington midgets 40 to IS. The twelve men who comprise this year ' s basketball squad are: Bedell, Packer, Matsu, Hill, Leebody, Kobo, Fukuyama, and Ruja. The men who are returning from last year ' s squad are Worthen and Driver. , • V- Yell Leaders L. A. ' s yell leaders gave their whole-hearted efforts to arouse the enthusiasm of the Student Body. This support is always needed to encourage the team to put forth best play. Jim Thickstun, the head yell leader, was ably assisted by Monte Factor, senior pepster, and John Andrews of the Lower Division. initlrrd sixty-seven 1 4TF I CI I II Mr. Frederick Colonel Mudgett Sergeant Law son Military Today, our most precious human resources lie in the youth of America, in whom rests our hopes for a better future. Consequently, then, this places a great trust upon our nation to educate them in idealistic and self-sacrificing traits. Such an organiza- tion as the R. O. T. C. faithfully performs this obligation as its primary purposes are to train youth in leadership, character, and self-development, and in this way to prepare our future citizens for the greater task of peace. Of these ideals, leadership especially is stressed in the R. O. T. C; and this leader- ship applies not only to warfare but also to the battle of life in which every one takes part. At the very first, the cadet is given an opportunity for the expression of initiative and ability to lead others. He receives encouragement and progressive training along these lines until, stimulated by self-confidence, he gains those qualities which, upon complete development, will classify him as a leader — a person recognized as possessing the ability to weigh correctly and estimate a situation rapidly, to cling to his con- victions and carry through to the very end against all odds, and a person having those traits of character which will command the respect and admiration of his associates. Few people realize the amount of constructive education that goes into a cadet ' s course of military training. A basic purpose of the work undertaken is to make the student stop and think, figure things out for himself, make his deductions, and then arrive at a logical conclusion. A total of twelve theoretical tests are given, covering a field of such useful subjects as Military Courtesy, First Aid and Hygiene, and upon advancement, more intricate and complicated courses such as Combat Principles and Map Reading. On the field, the cadet is given an opportunity for practical ap- plication of this information, thereby gaining a great deal more than mere book knowledge. His physical development is taken care of in constructive daily exercises and in constant use of the rifle. He learns, in drill, the value of team work, and of being able to take orders, thus acquiring discipline, a factor which in itself is a prime requisite for true leadership. As stated in the National Defense Act, the mission of the R. O. T. C. is to awaken in the student an appreciation of the obligations of citizenship, to prepare him to dis- charge his duties as a citizen, and qualify him as a military leader. One can easily see that with the fulfillment of these objectives, the R. O. T. C. is doing its share in training the youth of America that they may justly symbolize our most precious human resources. hundred sixty-nine Major Graves Second Lieut.

Powers Foreword Many people have the notion that the State owes the citizen an education for his own sake — of his own right. That is not really the case. The State owes this duty, not to you or to me, but to itself, as a matter of self-preservation. When the Puritan Fathers, in founding the Boston Latin School three hundred years ago, planted the seed of free public education, they were making an investment; and the return was to be in the form of loyal, useful citizenship. One of the deplorable features of the depression through which we are passing has been the feeling, rather wide spread through the world, that democratic government has been a failure, that people have shown themselves incompetent to manage their own affairs. In some nations, the people have given up the attempt and have put the reins of government definitely into the hands of one strong man. In this country, Democracy has met the challenge. It is demonstrating its ability to adjust itself to changing conditions. If you would call this process revolution, it is the revolution of a true democracy, without violence, without hysteria; it is evolu- tion, rather, accomplished by the people through the orderly channels of government. America, more than any other country, has kept her head. We have had our hardships and our tragedies. Yet there has been no general uprising and comparatively little violence. We are unwilling to relinquish our birthright and let somebody else take the responsibility. We feel that the job of setting the wheels to turning again is our job. And we take this view because of the way we have been brought up; be- cause we have been educated as real citizens of a democracy. There is no doubt what- ever, that the calmness, the patience, the level-headedness shown by our people in these trying years is owing in large measure to the work of our schools. The purpose of the State in founding universal public education — for her own protection — has been amply vindicated. JOHN L. POWERS Head Master, Boston Public Latin School m j! I !:!!. 1 I ill s ' il II m si 8 W: ill! mmh h tt iiioy, m m V 11 When the first tree public school was established, its purpose was not to instruct the youth of the land in the classics and arts and sciences alone; it had other motives. It desired to show the way to clear thinking, useful living, gracious manners and helpfulness to others. Its courses of instruction were to be free, and the thoughts and speech of each individual student were stimulated to play an important part in his free development. This experiment has proved the wisdom of those first school men. A great free nation has come into existence, exceeding anything ever visualized by those early schoolmasters. Comforts and pleasures, such as were never dreamed of, are ours today. A declaration of independence, saying all men were free, gave us great impetus. A constitution setting up a free government with the free right to rule ourselves in our own faishion spurred us on. And everywhere in our midst was the free public school pointing out the better ways to act. Steam, electricity, marvelous inventions, wonderful transportation, comfortable homes, greater pleasures developed to make life easier, happier and freer. We cannot deny that the free public school has contributed to all these changes. Its everyday training suggests that we must go on to other improvements. It urges us along the road to greater success. When the class of Summer ' 35 graduates this year, we shall be celebrating three hundred years of free education. We can therefore contemplate that past with much satisfaction because, having inherited it, we have not squandered any part of it, but have tried to better it for ourselves and for classes yet to graduate. Those of us who had the good fortune and privilege of graduating from that first free public school — Schola Latina Bostoniensis — joyful salute our Alma Mater this year upon attaining her three hundredth birthday. We wish to renew our pledge, made at graduation, that we would be true to her ideals and carry on in her name. AUGUSTINE M.

Throughout these three hundred years, since 1635, while there have been changes in the forms of teaching, the fundamental ideals of education have remained the same. These ideals for our young people have always been the development of character; the maintaining of faith in God, in country, in others, and in one ' s self; the creating of a desire to help young people to become good citizens and leaders in our American democracy. Fifty years ago in our Republic, only three per cent of the boys and girls of high school age had the opportunity of secondary education. Even now only about fifty per cent of the young people of the United States between fourteen and eighteen years of age have the advantage of high school training. The State of California is a leader in the cause of education in America; and through its laws it gives you, the students of today, an opportunity to make of yourselves whatever you will. This educa- tion must be not for self, but for the people. Los Angeles High School sends greetings to the Boston Latin School, the oldest public school in America, and pledges anew its most thoughtful allegiance to the highest ideals of our American democracy. We commend you, the members of the Class of Summer 1935, for your fine record in scholarship, in citizenship, and in leadership. We congratulate you upon graduating during this significant semester. Our best regards are extended to you. fourteen 163 ADMINISTRATION MI§§ Wolv©rtoe 9 § M©§§a © To the Class of Summer ' 35, Greetings: You are now entering upon the task of living in the world of adults as products of a public school system three hundred years old. This system began in the purpose of a few devoted New England pioneers, a purpose moral, spiritual, civic. It is for the schools, represented by you and the thou- sands like you, to eliminate the aim of purely selfish individual betterment as a goal of education, and to increase into a living reality its goal of moral, spiritual, civic service to our nation.

Vice-principal Sarah Foss Wvlverton Mr N©Me 9 § M©§§aie Summer Class of ' 35: In commemorating the 300th anniver- sary of the founding of free public schools, we are celebrating a significant achievement in the struggle for the rights of the com- mon people. The important part, however, is not the memorial to the past, but the vision to the future. We must strive con- tinually to maintain a school system that will adequately prepare our youth for their part in the commonwealth.

For the past number of semesters, there have been the regular routine changes to keep pace with the modern trend of the times; but this semester brought the most radical departures in the history of American education, namely, the curtailing of home study and the discontinuance of it over the week-end. This does not mean that the student should remain idle from Friday until Monday, but that the student will have time to develop self-initiated projects. Many of our present day educators believe that students, while going through high school, should begin to realize their ambition and to work along the line they intend to follow in later life. In the student ' s spare time, he is now able to delve into the problems which in all probability will determine his choice of career. Then, he will be developing courage, initiative, and individuality. The enrollment of our school is increasing yearly; and this semester, we have the largest in the city, topping Fremont High School with an enrollment of 3942, 1915 boys and 2027 girls. The graduating class with 720, prepared to receive diplomas, holds the distinction of being the largest ever to leave the halls of Rome. This class is not only the largest in number, but it has an excellent scholarship record. Members are the leaders in all the school activities; more than SO received C. S. F. rating. And there are 405 Pericleans in the school. In subjects, the English Department as usual leads the enrollment with over 3350 students. The Science Department is in second place with an enrollment of 2838, 1840 of whom are enrolled in biological sciences; 998 are in physical sciences, 644 in chemistry, and 271 in physics. The Commercial Department, which in- cludes bookkeeping, office work, typing, and stenography, is in third place with 20S7. The Language Department has an enrollment of 1997. The fine assemblies we have had this year were an inspiration to every student. The dynamic address given by Geoffrey Morgan and Dr. Mendenthal ' s speech at the honor assembly will be long remembered. The motion pictures on the development of aviation showed us the strides transportation and warfare have taken during the past few decades. Fathers ' Night saw a fine crowd of men and boys listening to the talks of the great Hans Wagner, Dean Cromwell, and Joe Pipal, three of the most outstanding men in athletics today. During Public School Week, the many original programs and exhibits showed parents and friends very convincingly the progress made in education since it began in the United States three hundred years ago. Visitors were particularly interested in the hobby room because of its definite bearing on education for the wise use of leisure time. Living up to the best traditions of the high standard of Los Angeles High School ' s military training, the R. O. T. C. held its annual inspection on May 1. To the strains of martial music, the army executed its drills and parades with the finest military precision. Colonel Dockery was the inspecting officer. Los Angeles High School is hoping to gain the distinction of having an Honor School rating again. This term, the school added many improvements, all of which make Los Angeles High a more beautiful place in which to live and work. The Student Body purchased a new piano for the auditorium. Many of the rooms have been remodeled to make them more practicable; they have also been redecorated. The landscape gardeners have made our campus very attractive so as summer approaches, it is literally blooming. The fine spirit of co-operation, both among the students, and between the Faculty and students, has made this semester a very successful and progressive one for the old pioneer school. ALBERT WEHRLY Business manager twenty 163 TUDENT BLUE AND WHITE Tom Yager Firesideet 9 ® M©§§ag© Education is like a voyage. Beside a flat shore with low roofed houses, the ship rides at anchor. Many small, timid people go on board. The captain, mates, and most of the crew know the course and the haven; but the passengers are all new. This is a long voyage through storm and calm. The big job for the crew is to keep the passengers on board. We, the Class of Summer ' 35, have stood by the great ship through twelve years. The voyage is drawing to a close; the ship is sailing in smooth waters near the harbor. The new land has mountains and beautiful valleys; it is a land of greater opportunity. As we leave the familiar halls of Rome, a warm appreciation of our alma mater rises within us. The public school with its heritage of three centuries of progress has offered many spiritual and academic advantages. In return, we will strive to become loyal American citizens. Serving you, as your president, has been an honor and a privileg e. More than all else do I cherish the true friendship of each one of you. Sincerely, TOM YAGER Student Body president twenty-two 163 ADMINISTRATION Division Presidents 9 Messages Los Angeles High of today embodies in its cur- ricula the progress of education in the last three centuries. We, as students who are offered the ad- vantages of these developments are about to take our places in this world of educated men and women. We shall do our best toward furthering education in the future. I sincerely appreciate the honor and privilege you have bestowed upon me in the opportunity to serve you. Sincerely, BEBE WREN We are graduating from a school that is rich in the memories of classes departing before us. We step into a world that seethes with activity; yet, we go forth with the knowledge that we have had preparation to meet the tests of life. We graduate from a school old in years, but modern in the pro- gress of education. I certainly wish to thank you for a co-operation that has brought about an advancement in school spirit, scholarship, and athletics. The year, then, has been progressive, and thus successful. Sincerely, PHIL ZONNE Board Presidents 9 Messages The advancement of educational opportunity has enabled us to develop a spirit of democracy in our school life that will aid us in taking our places in our great land. In our student government, the members of the Girls ' Senior Board have sincerely tried to maintain this democratic feeling in their contacts with the other students. Sincerely, ROSE ANNE BANKSON The youth of today produces the leaders of to- morrow; the fine education available to all should develop the type of character requisite to insure the future success of our great democracy. The S ' 35 Senior Board will never forget the joy of working with such a co-operative group as this term ' s Stu- dent Body.

With this purpose, the Girls ' Senior Board was established. With law and order as a foundation for its work, the Board strives for an advancement in ideals and higher standards. Through its association with the girls of the Student Body as an impartial jury, it creates a sense of justice. Trials are held each week, and those who have disobeyed the school ' s regulations are allowed to present their cases. In all fairness to the offenders, the Board renders a decision; and by this con- tact with the individuals of the school, it maintains a greater sense of understanding and fellowship. Fellowship and understanding go hand in hand with success, and success does not end with school. It branches into the home life of a people, the government of twenty-four 163 ADMINISTRATION Helen Cooper Frances Austin Betty Glass Katherine Howard Edythe Inwood Marian Lampe Emi Murauama Phyllis Newman Jane Price Lillian Ronander Ernesta Santori Betty Thorson Jean Webb Bebe Wren peace. That is why the Board stresses co-operation and equality. The earnest wish of these out-going Board members of Summer ' 35 is that they have in truth left behind them a deeper feeling of loyalty and peace and justice. The regular Board is composed of twenty-five members. There are fifteen on the A12 Board and ten on the B12 Board. The B12 members remain on the Board through their A12 term, and five more are elected. They are of great assistance in the offices of Mr. Oliver, Miss Wolverton, and the personnel department, and co-operate with the House and Grounds committee in keeping the campus clean and attractive at all times. The pride and joy of the Board is their own special room, furnished attractively and comfortably for the exclusive use of the regular members. Here the girls come for rest and relaxation, and here also are formed many dear and enduring friendships. The important social function which takes place each term, the dance of the combined Girls ' and Boys ' Senior Boards, climaxes a happy and useful term.

Because of this very fine spirit of co-operation, the fellows have found it a pleasure to carry out an important phase of our school motto, Obedience to law. The principle under which the Board operates is prevention rather than punish- ment. Its ideal is to uphold the best and finest traditions of Los Angeles High School, and it has earnestly endeavored to do this during the past year. The sincerest appreciation is offered to the students for their splendid attitude and for the opportunity given the Board to work for better citizenship in our community and country, and also to their fine sponsor, Mr. vander Bie, who gives his time and effort to maintain an efficient and smooth running student government. twenty-six 163 ADMINISTRATION Carl Gustafson Owen Ward Bob Lesser Fred Koebig Way land Leonard Jimmy Lvtle. Fred McPherson BUI Murphy Forrest Nance Lawrence Nelson Leo Rosenburg Bob Sedgwick Bill Stewart Tom Yager Phil Zonne This group is organized with a system of posts about the various sections of the campus. These posts are in effect during lunch period, and their purpose mainly is to prevent students from leaving the grounds without possession of a lunch pass. Each Board member spends one-half period of lunch every day on post and is rotated about the grounds from post to post. Meetings are held once a week on the day most convenient to all members. Violators of school rules are brought before the Board at this time; and to them is meted out a fair decision. Attendance of regular members at meetings is required while associates are welcome. Each term, a dance is given for members and alumni of the Board in the music aud. Each Board member brings a small nominal gift for a graduating Board member. These gifts are often amusing and help in making the event a success. In the formation of this organization, the school has given to the Student Body a group to which every boy is proud to belong. Along with their duties, the fellows en- joy endless good times both in the Board room where they have a midget radio, as well as in other associations.

The girls this semester have been exceptionally efficient and successful in their activities. The chief duty of the Associate Board is to help in the offices of the scholarship advisors. A new duty, however, has been given the Associate Board this term; that is assisting in the book depository. Members also aid the regular Senior Board wherever necessity requires, and do their best to enforce all the school rules and ideals. This term, the Associate Board was composed of five A12 girls, ten B12 girls, and ten All girls. All Associate Board girls in the B12 and A12 class are appointed by the Senior Board from the list of candidates eligible for regular Senior Board. The All girls are chosen directly, by popular vote of their class. The members of the Associate Board enjoy practically every privilege of the regular Board members except that of voting at the trials and at the elections. However, a new rule has gone into effect this term that concerns the Associate Board. Because of limited space, only the regular Board members are allowed to use the Board room. The Associate Board members have realized the full significance of the motto of the Girls ' Senior Board — Noblesse Oblige. This term, the girls have earnestly and sincerely tried to uphold this motto and have co-operated to the fullest extent with all requirements of the rules; they have upheld their positions honorably. The members are: A12 ' s: Mary Backus, Maki Kawakami, Catherine Shimp, and Margaret Wallace; B12 ' s: Emogene Brede, Margaret Dahlin, Sergee Feldman, Virginia Fisher, Betty Gist, Betty Hutchinson, Dorothy Ramsey, Marian Steinlein, Eleanor Thorson, and Grace Wolfskin ; All ' s: Virginia Conzelman, Olive Freeman, Alma Golde, Mitzi Hanchett, Helen Holroyd, Lynn Moody, Peggy Slater, Pat Stanley, Jean Suther- land, and Janet Ward. twenty-eight 163 ADMINISTRATION Left to right.

Through the help of this Associate organ- ization, the Board was able to carry on its traditional scholastic duties to the satis- faction of both the Faculty and the Student Body. Breaking precedent, the twelfth grade Associate members were elected from the eligibile list according to their lunch period and not according to their home room ranking. This step was suggested by the president of the Board who desired all members to have a chance to be relieved equally, and to secure enough members so as to cover adequately the numerous posts. More than ever, the Associate Board members have created a bond of unity be- tween the Regular and Associate members by attending the Board meetings in a body. It is a rule in the Board that the Associate members do not necessarily have to attend the meetings, although they are welcome to do so; but this term ' s Associate members greatly assisted the work of the Board by their whole-hearted support in their presence at the meetings. The rules of the Associate members are largely the same as those binding the Regular members, but there are a few differences. A blanket rule covering the A12, B12, and All Associate boys prohibits their wearing the Board sweaters or the regula- tion Board pins. They have their own pins on which is clearly designed Associate Member. These members have one special privilege, however, that the Regular members are not permitted to enjoy. They are not compelled to attend meetings, yet they are permitted to attend all the social events of the Board, including the semester dance which was held on May 4, 1935.

Griirlk 9 Calbiiimet President: Bebe Wren Vice-president: Rose Anne Bankson Secretary-treasurer: Edith Virginia Thorpe Sponsor: Miss Wolverton The Girls ' Cabinet is a selected group of efficient, dependable, and capable girls of the Los Angeles High School Student Body. Throughout the duration of the many pleasant past terms, the Girls ' Cabinet has functioned this organization has endeavored to prove itself beneficial to the welfare of the Los Angeles High School by co-operating with the wishes and suggestions of Miss Sarah Wolverton, the sponsor, and the Girls ' Division president, at present, Bebe Wren. This ideal has been realized through the co-operation between chairmen and com- mittees; each member of the Cabinet is in charge of one certain committee which has its own individual duties to perform through out the term. For instance, the Philanthropic Committee makes proper disposition of the lunches which are put in the little white boxes around the lunch grounds. It also takes care of all the Christmas cards that are donated and helps in sponsoring all the Christmas drives for food and clothing. The Costume Committee is the custodian for all the costumes during the vaudeville. The Hall Committee prevents people from loitering in the halls at any period during the day. The Point System assists Miss Bates in totaling the number of points each individual earns throughout the term. Each committee has as many girls on it as are necessary to perform the work. There are many other committees which assume some very important duties with which the Student Body should become better ac- quainted. One can easily see that for this reason it is very important that the girls be capable of leading correctly and having sufficient foresight to manage a large group of girls pleasantly and efficiently. The members are: Marie Fuqua, chairman of Philanthropic committee; Cecile Hallingby, chairman of Santa Fe committee; Shirley Slover, chairman of Costume committee; Mary K. Howden, chairman of Counter committee; Betty Holland, chairman of Switchboard committee; Helen Brown, chairman of Hall committee; Emmy Lou Dell, chairman of Point System committee; Dorothy Evans, chairman of Girls ' House and Grounds committee; Edith Virginia Thorpe, chairman of Door committee. thirty 163 ADMINISTRATION Left to right.

It is one of the bodies of self-government of which Los Angeles High School is justly proud. Administering as a unit under the guidance of Mr. Noble, the Cabinet promotes fellowship and co-operation in the Boys ' Division. In acting as big brother, the Cabinet tries to make the tenth grade students become familiar as quickly as possible with their new home. Members of the Boys ' Senior Board are asked to talk once a week on subjects of school activities, with which the new students are unacquainted. The planning of boys ' assemblies and rallies is a pleasant duty. The Cabinet hopes to add variety, entertainment, and revive the spirit of the school by these events. The publicity committee was organized to pep up school life, and to let the students know of coming important activities. Thus act- ing as helpful big brothers to the new students, planning assemblies and rallies, and forming a publicity committee are the major projects to be taken care of during the term. The president of the Boys ' Division is automatically president; the president of the Senior Board, automatically vice-president of the Cabinet. Other officers are elected. The members are: Phil Zonne, Boys ' Division president; Gordon Stephens, president of the Senior Board; Tom Yager, president of the Student Body; Phil Gaspar, president of the Big L. A.

A. Edwards The House of Representatives is the largest and most powerful governing board in the school. The main purpose of the organization is to discuss and vote upon bills concerning the Student Body and upon all financial matters of the school treasury. Each home room is represented by the home room president who reports the proceed- ings of the House to his home room. The executive committee is composed of the Student Body president. Boys ' and Girls ' Division presidents, and the Boys ' and Girls ' Senior Board presidents. Mr. Fredericks is the school treasurer who presents all finan- cial bills for the consideration of the House. Dr. Edwards is the capable sponsor. Organizations of this type stand out as marks of progress after three centuries of public schools. The House is founded on the democratic basis which has always been the theme of education. A complete and final control of the school treasury has been intrusted to these leaders of the Student Body, the home room presidents. Many pointed arguments were given for and against our largest proposal, the purchase of a grand piano. Many felt that it would be more advisable to spend the money for athletics. A committee of six was appointed by the president to investigate the cost of a piano and to report at the next meeting. After many friendly debates and discussions, the bill to purchase a concert piano for the school was unanimously passed. The spirit of the Student Body has been reflected in this organization. The members feel that this has been a very successful term because of the many measures passed pertaining to school welfare and because of the splendid enthusiasm shown by the home rooms for their House of Representatives. thirty-two 163 ADMINISTRATION Left to right.

Boys 9 Gym Board President: John Castro Vice-president: Bruce Arthur Secretary-treasurer: Lloyd Reeks Sponsor: Coach White Three hundred years of public education have brought us to the point where, in our schools, we teach not only how to study and what to study, but also how and what to play in our spare time. The amount of leisure time is increasing in this age of machinery; our problem now is to know how to use it well. This is taught in our physical education classes of which the Boys ' Gym Board is an integral part. This organization is sponsored by Coach White and has been in his charge since the gym- nasium was built. The Boys ' Gym Board is entirely necessary for the administration of the physical education work. These boys offer their assistance willingly and voluntarily and are chosen for their trustworthiness and ability. The success of the administration of gym work is due in a great measure to them. Mr. White realizes this fact and only chooses boys who will work co-operatively with him. The boys on the Board have two main duties. They take care of the locker rooms; and, during the gym period, while the coaches are busy, they are in charge of the Gym office. The members on this Board are: Ray Anderson, Russ Anderson, John Andes, Bruce Arthur, Sidney Aylward, Stanley Carr, John Castro, Johnny Cole.

Through this office, all financial matters are transacted; operating and statistical reports are compiled, and all bookkeeping transactions are recorded. The student helpers are selected from the most reliable students of the advanced bookkeeping and commercial classes. In addition to the very valuable practical business experience, the successful applicants receive five units in bookkeeping or business practice. A student store is the mercantile department of this school business office. In this store are sold items strictly of a school nature. The aim of this shop is not to compete with local merchants, but only to supply the immediate school needs of the students. Profits derived from this enterprise are diverted into the general Student Body fund where they are used for carrying on student activities. The ticket office is another division of the business office. It handles the sale and distribution of all tickets for all football, baseball and basketball games and for track meets and other athletic events. This department also has charge of tickets for special assemblies, commencement activities, school car books, and towel cards. Thus since the beginning of public school education in our country, Student Body activities have developed and kept pace with the educational growth of our schools.

West School cafeterias have kept pace with the development of our public school system The necessity for safeguarding the health of school children has developed the school cafeteria from an emergency sandwich line to a modern well-equipped institution. Our cafeteria is one of the most necessary and serviceable of the extra-curri- cular activities of the school. This organization shoulders the responsibility for serv- ing the students of the school with wholesome, sanitary, well-balanced food at the most reasonable prices possible. The school cafeteria is not intended to be a profit making institution. Its sole purpose is to serve the best food at a price that will cover all necessary overhead expenses. During the economic depression, the school cafeteria has served the noble purpose in providing some type of work to any worthy student in return for his noon day lunch. The Los Angeles High School cafeteria has in its employ about eighty students. These students receive, in addition to their lunch exceedingly valuable training in cafeteria work. They learn to serve tood, to assist as buss boys, to perform clerical duties, and to act as cashiers. Each semester from this group, a person is elected to act as student manager. His responsibility is to check cash registers, and to make the daily cash deposit for the cafeteria.

With great foresight, those girls, realizing that cleanliness was a necessary part of education, organized a group whose purpose it was to police the by-ways of Rome and to bring beauty and orderliness to our surroundings. This organization met with instant favor and has grown until the group now includes more than sixty members. These girls, imbued with the ideals set down by the first committee, pledge themselves to uphold the dignity of the school, and to serve faithfully in the performance of their duties. Service on this committee is entirely voluntary and is open to all girls who wish to co-operate with the administration toward bettering conditions of the school.

The Boys ' House and Grounds committee of the Los Angeles High School constitutes an important factor of the self governing body of that institution. This committee plays a necessary part in carrying on the policing activities of the Student Body. In performing this work, the committee is not only doing something worth while for the school, but the members of the committee also are learning, from actual practice, to assume some of the responsibilities of citizenship which will fall upon them in adult life. This semester, under the guidance of our sponsor Mr. Earle Hazelton, the com- mittee has had several very successful campaigns against the lawbreakers of the school and has aided materially in keeping the campus clean and the halls quiet.

The traditional commencement exercises will culminate three years of happiness. Sadly we realize that we shall soon be sepa- rated from old friends and shall be in a different world in which we must make our new adjustments!. We shall have as our guide, the knowledge and inspiration gained during our years at L. A. We have enjoyed every phase of our school life, the friendly help of our teachers, the competition of our affable rivals, the class of W ' 36, in both the Senior debate and the Senior A and B contest, and the various other school activities. Los Angeles High School is a fine example of the results of three centuries of public education in America because of the opportunities and extensive training it affords each member of the Student Body. Although it is the oldest school in South- ern California, it is one of the most up-to-date schools in the system which has its foundation in the Boston Latin School, the first institution devoted to public educa- tion three centuries ago. The Class of Summer ' 35 is greatly indebted to its sponsors, Miss Elizabeth Hughes of the Social Science department and to Mr. A. M. Reilly of the Commercial department, whose enthusiasm has made the class a great success. They were directly responsible for the noteworthy spirit of co-operation in the class through their un- ceasing efforts to make our last semester at Los Angeles High School a memorable one. It has taken sacrifice and perseverance on their part to devote so much of their time to our happiness and advantage. With genuine regret, we leave our pleasant and helpful association with them; but they may be assured that everyone of us will treasure the friendship of these hard working and companionable sponsors. jorty 163 •,-—r ' -., •.• C-J-k -kl, ' ' ' ft Tempms Vimcit Stadias «■  ' ffl SWIM r ' .

We are grateful for our heritage of a system which has patiently raised the highest standards, giving each student a wide choice for a complete education in any line of work, for our instructors whose efforts have contributed largely to this advance, and for the wonderful buildings, school grounds, and facilities provided to make our school lives pleasant and useful. To show our appreciation of the benefits which we have received, we have added our project which has been better attendance. Sometimes, when studies are tedious and marks are low, it is hard to realize the many opportunities that have been given to us; but through our project, we hope to stress these advantages and thus to secure a high attendance record. We visualize an addition, even though it may be small, to the progress of education through the efforts we are making. Our class has four hundred students enrolled: we have been well represented in school activities; and we are proud of our members who have given their time and efforts to the success of Winter ' 36. eighty 163 CLASSES eighty-one 193 BLUE AND WHITE Class of Summer 1936 •.%$ X „ - L eighty-two Ctasx of Winter 19.1? 163 CLASSES : m Class of Summer 1937 Class of Winter 19SS eighty-three 193 BLUE AND WHITE Selhool Hyraue Hail, hail to L.

The huge crowd solemnly rose to its feet as that venerable old judge, L. A. Alumnus walked majestically to his presiding chair, situated in the center of Housh Bowl where 50,000 Los Angeles High alumni were about to witness the greatest trial ever held in Los Angeles. 718 former L. A. students were being tried. Temporary bleachers were installed at one side of the judge ' s bench where the de- fendants now sat anxiously awaiting their fate. The crowd seethed with impatience. The old judge arose. We are about to try, he said, the L. A. High School Class of Summer 1935. They have been given 40 years to realize their class theme. It is the purpose of this court to determine if this class has or has not realized their vision. The Right Honorable R. P. Tradition, Judge Alumnus continued, will now open the case for the prosecution. Mr. Tradition, that suave gentleman, veteran of many school trials, made his introductory speech. Now, with the permission of the chair, he concluded, I ask the Class of S ' 35 to take the stand. I have a few questions to ask the defendants. The class was so large it could not take the stand literally, but it was sworn in. R. P. Tradition assumed an aggressive tone: Summer Class of 1935, you were endowed with a theme. It was typical of all Roman themes—something uplifting. Your theme is a particularly noble one — Three Hundred Years of Public Education: its heritage and its vision. I, attorney for the prosecution, declare that you did not fulfill the vision of education. You were a great high school class; you had a great heritage of education — three hundred years of progress to further you; yet there is a singular lack of evidence showing that you completed the vision clause of your theme. How did you use your time in keeping the vision clause? Just where were you, may I ask, from February 3rd to June 21st, 1935? Next to the class bleachers was a desk where Crawford, Guy, and McCarthy, de- fense counsels, were seated. At the conclusion of the prosecuting attorney ' s speech, Mr. Guy stood up and stormed: Your honor, I believe we can satisfy the gentlemen of the prosecution as to our whereabouts. These placards will prove my point. Mr. Guy called out in that authoritative voice for which he is so far-famed: Bring ' em in boys. What an amazing sight the 50,000 spectators witnessed. Sixteen large calendar-posters, borne by page boys, were ample evidence of the whereabouts of the class during the S ' 35 term. eighty-five 193 BLUE AND WHITE mon feb 4 mon feb 11 thurs feb 14 thurs feb 2S people paper flying hearts kistler new people students whining sweethearts ■ askew old people teachers signing broken hearts and howell fat people pens drying red hearts were lean people eyes crying bleeding hearts elected smart people i doors sliding candy hearts - to the dumb people winds sighing doe ' s harts high and enrolling thus in other mighty in the program day words offices new semester came and valentine ' s of the at the went day class of old institution huzzah hey hey s ' 35 thurs mar 7 some goons wandered into the aud and saw some pictures about the big boo ' ful boulder damie wed mar 13 fredric dixon played fredric dixon played fredric dixon on the piano in the aud aud aud (cadenza cadenza gertie stein ' s influenza) sat mar 16 a cappella glee club and orchestra people heard the toot toot music of o k toots for their semester frail drag thurs mar 21 elsie cissy Jackie moskie tricky orators of the school competed in the mayflower contest fri mar 22 pomona college men ' s glee club sang melodious melodies to entertain dear old 1 a high fri mar 29 boys and girls together all around la danced the light fantastic in the merry month of march (senior dance) tues apr 9 1 a ' s baseball team lost a heart breaker to hollywood by the slim score of one to nothing wed apr 10 this calendar is a crowning example of the result of three centuries of public education in honor of which open house was held fri may 3 wed may 29 high huzzah steppin ' whoopee track whee stars zizz bang swamped yea bo beverly yippee with a ki yi yi bodacious git along barrage little dogie of first school ' s class closed performances (memorial day) eighty-six wed June 19 star and crescent day came with a big bang and every senior lad and lass felt gay fri June 21 loud the tears and lamentation s ' 35 graduated - with the x world before us and dear old la behind 163 HUMOR eighty-seven 193 BLUE AND WHITE The defense counsels smiled.

Tradition once more glared and snarled ferociously at the happy class. I would like to ask the gentlemen of the defense what has been done toward completing the vision of the theme? I believe I can answer that, Your Honor, rapped out attorney Stonewall Craw- ford. The vision of our class has been satisfied, and is still being fulfilled by the various achievements of class members as individuals. Let me cite a few examples. He turned toward the class. When I call your names, please rise and remain standing. Quayle Petersmeyer. (Hey! Stand up. Lard!) Here is a perfect example of com- pleted vision. Mr. Petersmeyer started growing while at L. A. He is still doing so. I present the world ' s healthiest man. Albert Ruben This young man is one of the greatest illustrators of children ' s books alive. Is he good? Just ask him! Nancy Cooper. I really take great pleasure in presenting such an accomplished individual to you, ladies and gentlemen. She is the only member of the fair sex ever to have swum the Atlantic ocean. Jack Smith. This worthy fellow was president of the A Cappella while at L. A. He continued in that office and is now leader of the orchestra at Dick ' s Lowdown. Ray Conger. The nation ' s leading printer and publisher. I believe that speaks for itself. Lucille Wilkins. Miss Wilkins is a creator of chic chapeaux. Keith Monroe and Neal Thomas. I present to you the nation ' s foremost scientists. These pioneers of chemistry discovered the 999th element. Jane Frisbie. She gives correspondence courses in memory. Twenty-five cents for free booklet. Jayne Pendexter Copp. The great wormologist. She knows worms from ring to ring. Goodrich Morton. A truly great scholar. ' A man is accounted wise who keeps his mouth shut! ' Well here he is. Eleanor Buresh, She is best described as: ' Elaine the fair, Elaine the beautiful, Elaine the lily maid of Astolat. ' Bernice O ' Connell. This cute little trick has not lost any of her sweet, whole- some winsomeness through the past half-century. She is at station KATZ as the charm lady. John Sanders, an eminent bacteriologist. To you, a bugologist. He is head of the U. S. Department of Science and Orchestra. Charlie Prince. Of course, you all know him? He ' s king of England. The British government got him mixed up with Bonnie Prince Charlie. What a break for America! Prances Sproul. This demure lady is still filling the boxes at the Met. It is rumored that Caroline Whittingham, the famous singer and vocal teacher, started Frances on the road to success. In conclusion I present to you Bob Lesser, Hughes, Landis, etc., who are the world famed barbers of the French school of bobbing. Mr. Crawford sat down. The prosecution looked down not out. Your honor, Mr. Tradition said, admitting the plausibility of the correctness of Mr. Crawford ' s proof, I have yet a third question that I shall put before the court. It is just this: What heritage did you leave for the Winter Class of 1936? John McCarthy, the third member of the defense, rose. It would give me a great privilege to answer the charge of Mr. Tradition. May the court bear with me while I read this old will we unearthed from the long forgotten vaults of our class for this very trial. We, the Class of S ' 35, being of sound mind, do hereby, hereat, hereafter, hereof, hereon, herein, hereto, herewith, hereupon, and hereunto declare and ordain this, our last will and testament, on this 21st day of June, 1935.

A12 PHILOMATHIANS leave their cherished responsibility of supplying Miss Lavayea with chocolate jaw-breakers to the B12 ' s, knowing that they will be sacred to the trust. WAYLAND NAPOLEON LEONARD, being of a very obliging nature, kindly leaves the school for the masses. Thank you, NAP. We feel sure that the masses will ap- preciate that kind gesture. MARIAN CLEMSON leaves her hosses and saddle-glue to BETTY GLASS. The WEHRLY boys, JOE and AL, who gallantly managed the two school publica- tions, leave their jobs to any other jugglers who can balance budgets. BOB DESHON receives OWEN WARD ' S conscientious attitude. GORDY STEPHENS leaves his picture for the girls to admire. ROSS CAIRNS, being a Rover boy, has no use for excess beef, so he leaves it all to PHIL GASPAR. BEBE WREN leaves her shy and gentle smiles to JEAN WEBB. ROSE ANNE BANKSON hands her ever-ready stack of summons to KAY HOWARD. Some fellow who claims that he ' s a president, YAGER is the name, TOM YAGER, leaves his debate sweater to CLIFF AMBROSE TRUESDELL. PETER PIPER McARTHUR donates his beeyouteeful crimson locks to BOB ROSEN- STIEL. AL COHN is bequeathed BEN GUTTERMAN ' S superiority over the cub reporters. FRANCES AUSTIN leaves her effervescent personality to BETTY GALE EMERSON. ED GARNIER gives ROY HOUSE a few of his many letters. Won ' t ROY be the top with three stripes? ANNE MARTINEAU bequeaths her manuscripts to ANN SOB-SISTER NORTON. May she save them from the low depths of the waste basket. FRANCES FISHER and MARGARET BROWN leave their headaches to the following Semi-Annual editors. PHYLLIS NEWMAN leaves those smiling eyes to SERGEE FELDMAN. EVELYN DONLEY parts with her miniature Longfellows, and out of politness, MARIAN JONES accepts them. BILL BEYNON wills his genuine hand made posters to any Bee who is graced with the art of art. (Latest reports have it that BOB DOUBLEDEE is deferring so that he can accept.) LAURA HUFF, the great dramatic artist, endows a balcony so that L. A. Players will be accommodated in the future. MAURY KNOPOW and BERNARD TAPER, the newshounds of the class gladly donate all their copy and proof reading to two or three other survivors of the news classes. JIMMY BECKETT leaves his soup and fish to ROY METZGER. They will need slight alterations. PHIL KISTLER leaves to the other class president, JACK BLACKBURN, the headaches acquired while trying to master the class. MELVILLE STRANN bequeaths his handsome physique to the mighty DON BUHLER. LOUISE FREESE leaves her coat of tan to gay-gozadzie GERRY GENUSER. The two steadfast Bettys, CAHILL and BENN, are really fortunate. They receive JAYNE COPP ' S and DOROTHY SCOTT ' S lovely looks. And JANET CARLIN ' S (She ' s the after in a toothpaste ad), flashy smile is passed on to EMOGENE BREDE. NANCY GIBBS leaves her clever remarks to ROBERTA BENCHLEY. ERNEST CALDWELL ' S literary talent goes to JOHNNIE MILTON. That, Your Honor, said Mr. McCarthy, concludes the case for the defendant. And you, Mr. Tradition? asked Judge Alumnus. My case rests. Your Honor. Very well. Having listened attentively to both sides of this trial, I see no reason to retire to consider my decision, for I have reached a verdict already.

Then there ' s Yager — an oration Could be spoken about his exploitations On the field of idealization. Frances Fisher and Margaret Brown deserve elevation For their sweet, timely intimation Of the Staff ' s subjugation In regard to co-operation. Summer ' 35, your hesitation Has been greatly removed from petrification By the attitude of class members — their realization For your need of salvation From the stagnatized situation A graduating class gains by labefactation. Hence: These class members have received regeneration Of class spiritualization By their preparations On their special dispensations. Therefore: Wayland Leonard, finest major in medalization Never has lost his head in any mobilization. Then, not a prevarication Has been uttered concerning Kistler ' s graduation. Huzzah for Askew, Gibson, Howell; their felicitations Are our great inspiration For a better education. We often indulge in conversation About Jack Gould ' s hallucinations. Crawford, Star and Cres prex, is the best in civilization. And we offer an exclamation Over Beynon ' s illustrations. Frequently Pendexter Copp ' s generalizations Have been up for investigation. Gutterman, then Taper, bossed the school ' s publication (The rest of the Daily will utter a condemnation For not remembering their perspiration) And printed all the latest ovations Of Byron Snyder ' s humanizations. Hats off to Zonne for his citation At a Boys ' Aud Call culmination. We praise Bankson and Stephens for this narration When assuming control of the school ' s regulation. Bebe ' s work of Girls ' administration Has been something for braggeration. Thus, anyone in this location Can readily see that our vocations Have given confirmation To our calculations That the Summer ' 35 aggregation Has really quite a definite destination Toward its place in this noble nation.

The staff is chosen from the A12 class for talent, experience, special training, leadership, and character. These members are given unusual opportunities for original expression in art, writing, and organization. Los Angeles High is well known as a creative school, presenting unusual advantages in self expression and self direction. The Semi-Annual has received much recogni- tion, including first places in contests, and All-American honors. The theme of this book, chosen each year by Mr. Oliver and Faculty committee, is the nucleus of Senior A term essays, lectures, contests, and commencement speeches. Members of each grade also have an opportunity for creative expression by competing in the various literary activities sponsored by the Semi-Annual in connection with its theme. Just as the literary section acknowledges the contributions of all grades, so the activities of the entire Student Body are represented throughout the book. Thus, the Semi-Annual is not merely a class book, but rather a consecutive history of school life beginning in the BIO term and climaxed in the senior year. ninety sia 163 ORGANIZATIONS ± k fc v mm ft f A A jSj4 4 V i 1,%.

Popkin Assistant editor: Annette Edelman Circulation managers: Jack Mullen Leon Singer Printer: Paul Melim Special writers: Lucretia Le Ger Eugene Spencer Lucile Davies Sponsor: H.C.Theobald El Romano is a Spanish paper published by the Spanish department of the Los Angeles High School. It was founded by the senior Spanish class of the Los Angeles High School in the summer of 1926 to aid students in learning Spanish and to foster a more practical knowledge of that language. Since that time, it has endeavored to sponsor friendly feeling toward Spanish-speaking neighbors, to promote general good will, and to inject interest into the study of the Spanish language. Primarily, it is a paper for the s tudents, made up and written by them. A newly inaugurated feature, this term, is a cross word puzzle in every issue. Also appearing regularly are articles of interest concerning news of world events, stories of interest to the students, and columns of jokes. At present, El Romano is issued eight times a semester and has over five hundred subscribers including several as far east as Michigan. It is also dis- tributed to neighboring junior high schools and to the Polytechnic night school. This large circulation has been well taken care of by the staff of Summer ' 35, and it is hoped that it will grow even larger in the future. This paper is printed through the courtesy of L. A. High ' s print shop, under the direction of Mr. Alfred T. Vaughan. El Romano has the distinction of being one of the few high school Spanish papers existing in the United States. It is an entirely extra-curricular activity. No credit Is given in Spanish classes, and all work must be done outside of school hours or at noon. The staff and its sponsor have accomplished much this term and deserve much credit for their efforts. The entire paper is printed in Spanish. Articles are sent in by every grade, but the senior Spanish classes are its main contributors. one hundred 163 ORGANIZATIONS Left to right. Back row. Dr. Edwards. Monroe. Moscovics.

A. Edwards Surely nothing can so clearly illustrate the change wrought in American education by three centuries of progress as the Nuntius, the West ' s only Latin paper. The Nuntius typifies the change from old and antiquated methods of Latin instruction to new and enlightened methods, the change from the system which drove Latin into the pupil, to that which induces him to learn for his own pleasure and enjoyment. It was this advancement in methods which created the need for some means through which the student might find a practical way of enjoying Latin. To meet this need, the Nuntius was created over fourteen years ago. The Nuntius has sought to fill this requirement through the medium of stories in both Latin and English. The English articles are concerned with technical details of Roman life, which are of interest to the students of Latin. The Latin stories are clear and brief without, however, being too simple to provide constructive work for the student. The Nuntius carries as a regular feature a cross word puzzle, thus furnish- ing an exhaustive, though pleasurable, vocabulary drill. Also a regular feature of the Nuntius is the cartoon, especially prepared for the paper, which bears upon some amus- ing phase of ancient life. Now finishing its twenty-ninth volume, the Nuntius owes its success to nothing so much as the able assistance of Dr. W. A. Edwards. His knowledge of Greek and Latin, and his quick and sympathetic understanding of the problems entailed in pub- lishing such a paper, have been invaluable. Without them the publication of the Nuntius this term might well have been impossible. It has been the constant effort of the staff this term to present to its subscribers the very best. If we have succeeded in some measure, we are more than repaid for any effort which we may have made. one hundred one 193 Selhi©©!

In the earliest school, this feature was lacking; this present system of advanced physical training is another mark of the great pro- gress of public education in the 300 years since its founding. The Big L. A. Society was formed with the purpose of furnishing an incentive for athletic activities, and has since proved itself to be one of the most valuable cogs in the running of the school. The Big L. A. Society has finished one of the most successful years in the history of the organization. It has fostered many important ideals — the promotion of good sportsmanship, the furthering of co-operation among the different types of athletics, and the increase of school spirit. The most striking feat the society has accomplished this year was the sponsoring of the campaign for the support of the baseball team. The society started the idea of season tickets for our home games, which were sold at a saving to the students. Because of this, baseball was supported more enthusiastic- ally this season than for several years. Much credit and gratitude Is due Mr. White for his fine co-operation and enthusiasm in sponsoring the club. Notable events run by the Big L. A. this year were their annual dance, banquet, and the traditional Faculty — Big L. A. baseball game, which was won by the Big L. A., 6-2.

It has the distinction of being the first club here to foster both art and literature. Brush and Quill members are proud to be able to say that through the six years since its found- ing, Brush and Quill has been loyal to its purpose as expressed in its pledge, which best explains the club ' s aims and ideals: We lift the torch of learning high, With painter ' s brush and author ' s pen We strive to give the world without Soul beauty from within. Not only does Brush and Quill present opportunities for creative expression, but it also offers new acquaintances which may develop into true and lasting friends. The club is an answer to the increased consciousness of the importance of worthy use of leisure time. Today, the amount of leisure time is increasing, and a most important problem is knowing how to use it well. Public education is taking a great step forward in fostering activities that further this important knowledge. Brush and Quill is one fine example of these opportunities for constructive activity outside of school which the public schools are offering.

Outstanding honor came to Guy and Freutel who placed second in the Redland ' s tournament and then went on to be declared the second best team in America at the National tournament at Kent, Ohio. Truesdell and Rykoff won second place debating against the colleges at the L. A. J. C. Tournament. Moscovics and Van Buskirk won two league debates.

Walker With a membership of forty-five students, all working together, the Forum Society of L. A. High, the oldest club of the school, feels that it has made definite strides in realizing the advancement which has characterized American public school education in the last three centuries. Not only does the school of today teach each student the value of character and work well done, so necessary in building trust worthy citizens; but, through the many organizations, the school of modern America gives every student an opportunity to develop his special talents. To this end, Forum had made the Semi-Annual theme, three centuries of public education: its heritage and its vision, a part of the semester ' s work. We members feel that too much stress can not be placed upon this theme. Forum, as a society which aids in the building of character, realizes that public edu- cation will form the leaders of tomorrow. This term ' s Forum schedule was: February IS and 25, tryouts; February 28, reception of the new members: March 11, Semi-Annual literary contest; March 25, the discussion of radio; April S, parliamentary drill; April 22, S. C. oratorical contest; April 28, and May 13, regular programs; May 27, nomination and election of officers. The semester was successfully ended by the Forum banquet, which is a traditional close of every term.

Lo A Flayers President: Kathryn Heber Vice-president: Bill Butler Secretary: Molly Abbott Treasurer: La Roda Bock Calendar reporter: Pierce Ommanney Sponsor: Mrs. Leno Cooper Webb Down through civilization, millions of people have been interested in the presenta- tion of drama. While this interest was being held, they were being educated, for drama possesses one of the finest cultural values known to mankind. The purpose of this organization is to foster the appreciation of dramatic litera- ture in such a way that students will get the most out of it. L. A. Players ' Associa- tion has followed this policy by presenting at least ten one or two-act plays in a term. Not only has it offered the students cultural advantages, but it has endeavored to. furnish the sort of entertainment that students enjoy. To know and appreciate a play, students must study the thought, the style, the period, and the characterization. They must learn to express the author ' s meaning by gesture and inflection of voice. Timing of speeches and entrances must also be perfected. All boys and girls who are interested may learn in this association by practical experience the art of acting or directing. As long as men and women write and dramatize, and as long as young men and women desire to express themselves in acting or directing, the vision of this organi- zation shall be to further their ambitions, and to furnish them with opportunities for creative expression.

Leonard Vice-president: First Sergeant Raymond Clayton Secretary: Captain William H. Marsh Treasurer: First Lieutenant Brice Robinson Sponsor: ColonelJohn J. Mudgett The Officers ' Club was founded approximately fourteen years ago to create friend- ship and good feeling among the commissioned and non-commissioned officers. It has been a valuable asset to the R. O. T. C. unit of the Los Angeles High School in that it is invaluable as a builder of morale among the members. It enables Colonel Mudgett to be in close contact with the men, guiding them and giving advice when necessary. All officers, sergeants, and second term corporals, having passed the basic theoretical course, are eligible for membership. In the meetings, topics concerning the battalion are freely discussed by all members. All questions and other difficulties are carefully worked out with the help of the sponsor, Colonel Mudgett. The men thus have a chance to ask questions, and to discuss prob- lems which are not clear to them. Plans and orders for parades and reviews are usually explained by the sponsor and major. Especially is this true of the annual in- spection held every spring term. This year, the inspection was held on the first of May. In this way, the officers and non-commissioned officers, who form the backbone of the unit, may be as efficient as possible in instruction and drill. The ' chief social functions of the Officers ' Club are the officers ' dinner, officers ' tea, and the semi-annual army ball. The army ball is hailed as the outstanding social event of the term. The officers ' dinner is given in honor of the new officers. Social development is an important factor in the founded course of military instruction. The opportunity, thus afforded the cadet officers for friendly, informal discussion of common problems between themselves and with their sponsor, immeasurably increases then- efficiency as officers, and, therefore, directly affects the character of work done by the R. O. T. C. unit. one hundred nine 193 BLUE AND WHITE If ST , n I fat! Z C w % t£F ... rt Jf i r g J y . i r ■ ! LJI Le f £ o right.

In this new era, not only ex- tended curricula are given to the student, but great benefits are added by the social clubs which develop talent and personality, and promote happy hours and lasting friendships. Palladian ' s field of endeavor is not limited for it sponsors art, literature, music, dancing, and drama. Each group with its chairman has an individual part in the clubs activities. Through conscientious and enthusiastic guidance, the members are encouraged to develop their natural talents by doing creative work which is submitted to the members and sponsor for approval. The high standards that have been made a tradition of the club by its notable alumnae inspire the members to give to the club the best that is in them. A fine sense of co-operation and poise is gained from the various social events given during the term when programs illustrative of the achievements and aims of the club are presented to the mothers and friends. Through these activities and associations, a real appreciation of the fine arts is gained; talents are trained: and friendships are made that will endear forever the sweet memories of high school days.

Since its founding, it has created a closer friendship within our own boundary. With the advance along educational lines, the Pananthropians sought for a broader friendship by the study of the people of different countries, their customs, and traditions. This goal is continuously being approached through corres- pondence, motion pictures, foreign speakers, exchange of gifts, and other activities. It is the sincere wish of this club that this world friedship movement will be included in the life of every student here and abroad. The theme for this year is In and Out of Los Angeles Harbor. Thus the Pananthro- pians strive for a vision of better understanding and good will among all nations by means of trade and commerce.

Jordan Three centuries of public education in America have stimulated students to advance themselves in the scientific as well as in the cultural fields. Our Science Club at Los Angeles High School, since its foundation in 1917, has endeavored to create a greater and more active interest in science, and thus to further the aim of public education. Science students have for many years centered their interest about this organization, and have given it whole-hearted support. Meetings are held twice each month; and programs are offered, mainly by the students, in the form of ex- periments and reports. The path of scientific knowledge is built upon the footsteps of youth, young people whose ambitions have been nurtured to a great extent by out- side interests in the wonders and the possibilities of the world about us. Scientific advancement depends upon the effort and ambition of young people to determine the practical application of this knowledge. It has been the ideal and the policy of this club to supply the incentive for creative research and the interest necessary for progress in scientific study. The members of the Science Club are: Virginia Bacon, Joe Becker, Barbara Berch, Bettie Burgess, Willard Chappe, James Clemens, Estelle Cohen, Estelle E.

In 1S79, it was organized as a Natural Science Club; but it developed later into the alumni association. In the spring of 1879, the pin in the form of a star and crescent was adopted; and the society has since been known as the Star and Crescent Society of the Los Angeles High School. When the Star and Crescent Society was first organized, the membership included all of the students attending the school. Later, the school became larger; and first the ninth grade, and then the tenth and eleventh grade students were excluded. At present, only seniors are considered members of this society. In the beginning, meetings of this organization were held each month; but because of the rapid growth and expansion of the Student Body, since 1913 the meetings have been held only once each semester, at which time a pin was presented to each graduating senior. As a closing tribute of the day, the Senior A ' s are the honored guests at a party given by the Senior B ' s in the girls ' gymnasium. This year, the election of officers was changed in some degree. The president was selected by the A12 class, and the vice-president and the secretary by the B12 class. Previously the secretary came from the All class. The names of the members of this class of S ' 35 will be written in the book of this society. Perhaps, the most intimate associations made in life are begun during one ' s high school days. The bond of friendship, loyalty, and goodfellowship existing in this society extends on through life enriching the experiences of the individual. one hundred, fourteen 163 MUSIC BLUE AND WHITE sat. i — Y J President: Jack Smith Manager: Jim Hastings Secretary: Jeanne Dickerson Librarians: Jack Earley Helen Trowbridge Pianist: Shirley Mae Vinson Director: Miss Verna C. Blythe The A Cappella Choir, although just finishing its eighth term, is perhaps the most interesting organization in the Los Angeles High School Music Department. The music is selected from such fine fifteenth and sixteenth century composers as Palestrina, Vittoria, and John Bennet, also Rachmaninoff and Gretchaninoff, modern Russian com- posers, and Johann Sebastian Bach. The greater part of the music is written in the most difficult contrapuntal style with the result that very beautiful harmony is obtained. The benefits of A Cappella are numerous. A fine appreciation of early music by these great composers and an excellent sight-reading ability are obtained. During the past semester, this choir has sung on many programs. One of the most enjoyable was the Festival at Eagle Rock High School. The finest A Cappella choirs in Los Angeles were invited to sing at this meeting; and among those present on this occasion was the choir from Los Angeles Junior College, quite well known for its national radio broadcasts. Under the able direction of Miss Blythe this choir has pro- gressed rapidly, and the members obtain great satisfaction from their achievements.

Blythe Piano: Marie Hanley Elizabeth Walker Los Angeles High School proudly boasts that it was the first high school to have a Boys ' Chorus and a Boys ' Junior Glee Club. Our Senior Glee Club has been organized since 1900. This club was organized to give students opportunities in musical ex- pressions. Realizing that early and proper training are essential factors in the making of a singer, the school offers these opportunities to all students who are interested. In the Glee Club, the members learn not only how to use and control their singing voices; but they also learn a great deal about music itself. The Glee Club is made up of selected members. At the close of each term, try- outs take place. Miss Blythe judges the voices of boys who have been recommended to see if they are eligible for membership the following term. This year, the club is larger than it has been for many years with a total membership of fifty-six members. The end of a term of work with the Glee Club does not necessarily end the members ' as- sociation, for every year a reunion is held. At this time, all the old and new members may make or renew acquaintances.

Long before this influence of public education, the Athenian youth pledged himself to ideals of moral and civic responsibility and service. Realizing that those ideals of centuries ago would establish a fine goal for the youth of today, Dr. Albert Shields founded the Ephebian Society in 1918. One out of every 40 students graduat- ing from the L. A. High School is chosen for membership, by Faculty and students for merit in scholarship, character, and leadership. Influenced by the Athenian youth ' s pledge of centuries ago, and by his own twentieth century education, the modern Ephebian, strong in body, in mind, and in spirit, marches on, the leader of tomorrow. The Ephebians for S ' 35 are: Sally Rhea Askew, Barbara Atherton, Frances Austin, Rose Ann Bankson, Eleanor Buresh, Bob Crawford, Jim Gibson, Jack Gould, Phil Kistler, Wayland Leonard, Peter McArthur, Anne Martineau, Phyllis Newman, Jane Price, Gordon Stephens, Bebe Wren, Tom Yager, and Phil Zonne. one hundred twenty-two 163 ORGANIZATIONS Vice-president: Eugene Spencer Secretary: Kathryn McComb Sponsor: Miss Bertha Oliver As an incentive tp greater effort and a demonstration of greater worth among the students of the high schools of California, the California Scholarship Federation was inaugurated in 1921. This association furnishes initiative desire on the part of the student and presents a goal toward which the students may strive during their school years. To attain the coveted title of Sealbearer, the aspirants must have Periclean grades for at least four semesters, one of which must be in the senior year. Many of these students have attained ' ' A grades every term. Through the inspiration and sponsorship of Miss Oliver, the spirit of the Federa- tion is kept ever aflame; and these students will go forth from Los Angeles High School into the world into every walk of life, imbued with these ideals. When another century of public education is to be written, their accomplishments will have added to its heritage and their ideas will have broadened its vision. The following students earned C. S.

Each year, a committee composed of Mr. Oliver and members of the Faculty choose as the winner of the scholarship an outstand- ing R. O. T. C. officer who best exhibits the high ideals and qualities of character of steadfastness, loyalty, and patriotism set forth by Forbes himself. Since the award was first made, the winners have been Major Howard Rodgers, S ' 30, Major Robert McHargue, S ' 31, Major Jack O. Goldsmith, S ' 32, Major William Latta, W ' 33, and Major Albert Frink, S ' 34. This year, the scholarship will be awarded to Captain Frank A. Gresham of the Class of Summer 1935, because he has shown himself to be representative of the finest type of young American manhood. Besides being prominent as an officer in the army, he has proven his ability in extra-curricular activities, both as president of the Forum society and as assistant Senior A editor of the S ' 35 Semi-Annual. Frank plans to study law at the University of California at Los Angeles, then at the University of Southern California. His training in the R. O. T. C. will prove invaluable to hi m in his chosen profession, for a good lawyer must first of all learn self-discipline. Los Angeles High School feels that it owes a debt of gratitude to Mrs. Edward Ripley, founder of this scholarship; for through her gift, the education begun within its halls may be carried on; and promising young men may be given a greater opportu- nity of preparing themselves for rich and useful lives in the years to come. one h undred twenty sis 163 ORGANIZATIONS Left to right.

He was born in England, February 23, 1851. Coming to the United States in 1874, he became known as America ' s greatest tragedian and one of the world ' s greatest Shakespearian actors. After more than fifty years on the stage, he retired from acting, but still devoted much of his time to lecturing and giving readings from the plays of Shakespeare. His last character part was that of Father Serra in the famous Mission Play at San Gabriel. After two years of ill health, he died in Brooklyn, February 8, 1935. In Frederick Warde, Los Angeles High School has lost one of its oldest and most revered friends. Four decades have seen him come to our school to make Shakespeare live again. As an actor, he has made Shakespeare live for three generations of men. As a scholar, he has left us this advice in studying a Shakespearian play: Read it the first time for the story only; the second time for the meaning; the third time for the beauty. With our memory going back through the years, we say with Hamlet. He was a man, take him for all in all. We shall not look upon his like again. Frederick Warde, actor, scholar, poet, high-souled Christian gentleman, the genera- tions that make up Los Angeles High School mourn your passing. In the words of your beautiful poem, we shall think of you as gone To bask in the light of a limitless love, In the glorious sunlight of God. one hundred twenty-eight 163 IN MEMORIUM Howard Jolhim Hamraa 1878—1935 Mr. Hanna, friend, scientist, joint editor of science texts, was an instructor in the Los Angeles High School for nearly twenty years. During the later years of his service, he was head of the Physics Department. He received his college train- ing in Kansas State Normal School and his Master ' s degree in Columbia University. Mr. Hanna gave unsparingly of his time to the activities of our nation, state, and local educational organizations. He served on the Southern Council of the California Teachers ' Association, and on the State Council in the interest of professional welfare. Mr. Hanna was vice-president of the Southern Council for 1934. He was also one of the founders of Affiliated Teachers ' Organizations of Los Angeles. From 1930 to 1932. Mr. Hanna was president of the High School Teachers ' Association at a time when the greatest tact, sympathy, and judgment were needed. His aim was harmony and the co-operation of all in the achievement of definite goals. We shall always remember Mr. Hanna ' s devotion to duty, his unselfish giving of himself and his time, his extreme desire to be fair to all persons and groups, and especially his sympathy for the men and women who needed help. He was not only a true educator, but, in the broadest sense, a civic-minded friendly American. In his going, we have lost a sincere friend for as he passed by, he left the record of hia journey in the minds and hearts of men. In the lives of his students, we shall find marks of his resourcefulness, his industry, his integrity. From the hearts of his friends, the tides of time will never erase those marks of fearlessness, kindliness, and patience, which his character cut as we worked with him to further the interests of the schools which he loved and for which he strove mightily. one hundred twenty-nine 193 IN MEMORIUM — Courtesy Evening Herald and Express Lloy Calpie 1877—1935 Our dear friend, Lloy Galpin, a native of Michigan, came to Los Angeles at the age of eight. She attended the old Grand Avenue School, where she was in Miss Stewart ' s class in the eighth grade. In 1S91, she entered Los Angeles High School; later, she attended Normal School and Wisconsin University. With the pioneer spirit which was to be an outstanding characteristic of her career as a teacher, Miss Galpin went to the Philippines in 1901 as a teacher to aid in the establishing an educational system for the islands. In 1905, she began teaching in Los Angeles High School, where she made American history and civics a living power to the hundreds of students who yearly crowded her classes. Miss Galpin was an enthusiastic supporter of the High School Teachers ' Association. In 1925, she was elected president, the first women to be so honored, and had the additional honor of being the only pr esident to hold office for three successive terms. To most people, those activities would have been sufficient for a full life; but Miss Galpin early began to give her time to her city, state, and nation. She was one of the organizers of the Lincoln-Roosevelt party in California and represented it at Sacra- mento. She was also an organizer of the Municipal League, the Women ' s City Club, Women ' s University Club, Women ' s Athletic Club, the Los Angeles District Federation of Business and Professional Women, and the National Federation of Business and Professional Women. Miss Galpin ' s great success as an instructor was due not only to her sympathy and understanding of the problems of the individual student, but also to her varied life which gave to her teaching the vitality of experience. Her alert and eager mind was a constant stimulus and challenge to her friends. Her life was not exempt from those problems and sorrows which test the mind and soul. One of the greatest in- fluences she has left is in the memory of the well-poised, uncomplaining fortitude with which she solved the problems and suppressed the sorrows. This characteristic, more than any other, made her seem a tower of strength to her immediate family and her intimate friends. Through all Miss Galpin ' s teaching years, her popularity with the young never changed unless it was to increase. To gain admission to her class was a high pri- vilege; to stay there was a daily inspiration, for the pupils instinctively knew that they were guided by one who had the seeing eye and the understanding heart. The truths of life which she built into characters will live through generations of noble men and women. one hundred thirty 163 IN MEMORIUM Fraeees Viirgieia Hairirow 1868—1934 Miss Frances Harrow, one of our most beloved teachers, died the morning of September 3, 1934 at her ranch, fifteen miles east of Ojai. Miss Harrow was one of the pioneers of California and of the Los Angeles School system. She was born at Sacramento in 1868. Her people had owned the ranch in the Ojai valley for fifty years. For many seasons, she lived at a house on Olive Street at the present site of the telephone building. Miss Harrow graduated from the old Los Angeles Normal School in the Class of 18S6. During the following October, she entered the city school system. In 1893, she became a teacher of mathematics in the Los Angeles High School where she remained until the time of her death. For many years, Miss Harrow was Senior A adviser, later counselor and acting head of the Department of Mathematics. In September, 1926, she was made head of the Department of Mathematics. Many hundreds of Los Angeles High School graduates remember Miss Harrow as an inspirational teacher and friend. They appreciated her superior qualifications for preparing her students for advanced work in the colleges where mathematical require- ments were the most exacting. Her influence made for integrity, intellectual and spiritual, whether in the class room or in her associations outside the class room. Many graduates of her classes point to her inspiration as the beginning of their sincere and joyful interest in higher education for life, as well as of their courageous over- coming of the difficulties of life ' s later problems. To the teachers of the Los Angeles High School, who worked with Miss Harrow and know her best, she was the embodiment of loyalty, friendliness, and devotion to duty. Miss Harrow ' s life was one of high-minded and unselfish service, causing her to be deeply mourned by all who have had the privilege of being her associates. one hundred thirty-one 193 ' ' ( JJ .j i . ■ ' 1 1 ; ' - ' .;. 4 Ci J ££MQA£ . LITERARY When the Boston Latin School was founded 300 years ago, educational opportunities were available to the privileged few. Like the world at large, education has not yet become cognizant of the inherent rights of people as individuals. With, however, the inevitable realization of man ' s political rights, the establishment of his educational rights is assured. Regardless of his possessions, mental or material, the normal child was given the opportunity for education. This opportunity was, perhaps, the most important power ever given to a collective body of people. Today, even with the undeniable progress of 300 years of public education, there is, unfortunately, a retrogressive note marring the future. Because of ephemeral economic conditions, our most potent heritage from the past, the right to an education, is being denied to an alarming number of children. Although this curtailment is only temporary, the result is far-reaching. Men and women who have reached maturity without their full quota of formal education are today irrevocably handicapped. Al- though they may ultimately acquire the same knowledge given their more fortunate contemporaries, opportunities lost through their previous deficiency can never be recovered. Even more serious than the handicaps imposed on those who are victims of economic stress is the detrimental effect on society as a whole. Surely, a condition which leaves its stains on future generations cannot be ignored but requires im- mediate and permanent remedy. The next tercentenary of public education must be assured of so glorious a heritage as we have received from our forefathers of the last three centuries. FRANCES FISHER Co-editor The government of a country never gets ahead of that country ' s religious princi- ples. — Calvin Coolidge The authority of law can in no way be substituted for the virtue of man. Of course, we can help restrain the criminals and furnish a fair degree of security and protection by legislation and police control; but the real reforms of society will come as a result of our religious convictions, or they will never come at all. Democratic countries require more education than the others because the people have to make decisions, and an ignorant populace allow corrupt politics to creep into national affairs. Education is the mainstay of democracy. The lack of it or the lack of the right kind of education will allow undesirable elements to come into the government. The school of today with its fine structures and diversified courses is a far cry from the rude one-room structures of a century or so ago. But those simple schools made America what she is today. Their pioneering spirit and the many sacrifices the people had to make to gain an education have made America a great nation. We have failed to appreciate the work of these pioneers. We sometimes scorn their high ideals and their religious principles, and we are accused of being far below the moral standard set by them. These conditions must change; but no law or decree can change them; all permanent reforms must come from within the people. We shall have to change back to a country of high ideals with honesty, trustworthiness and loyalty as our goal, or we shall be forced to accept lower standards which are the disintegration of a country. We shall have to develop character and build it strong and sturdy, so that we may have not only peace and happiness for ourselves in life; but that we may be in a posi- tion where we can serve our fellow man and God. ALBERT WEHRLY Business manager For three hundred years, the making of a great mind has been in progress, the great mind of a great nation, America! The tremendous machinery of learning has been slowly improved so that eventually it may supply the demand of a world for educated minds. Now we, the Summer Class of ' 35, as the latest products of this advanced system of education are about to approach the world, a world that will absorb us unless we can absorb it. America as an educated nation, is going to send forth into its business offices and homes, minds which have had as their heritage, three hundred years of public education America as an educated nation is going to send forth into the continents one Hundred thirty-three 193 BLUE AND WHITE E of the world its own great mind through us. We have as our heritage of 300 years, a great system which has built a great nation. Shall we have as our vision, a great nation? Shall we build a great world? But can a nation be truly great and lack a soul? The mind of America is great, and it has as its soul one hundred and twenty-five million human beings. These are feeling, living, thinking people, people who demand for their children, philosophies of life and death, people who are producing children who will be capable of forming those philosophies themselves. We are those children, girls and boys who recognize, accept, and should ap- preciate our heritage. By this recognition, what will be impossible with this nation behind us and the universe before us? So with the heritage of these 300 years of public education and a vision strong with ideals and clear with hope, we will take our place in the ranks of thousands, to fortify our nation and build a world of the future! PHYLLIS NEWMAN, Senior A Co-editor Let us make the sword attached to our emblem of the Roman archer our symbol of education, our sword of truth and light. Let us place a new meaning in the sword and make it stand for peace instead of belligerence, and use it to pierce the darkness of ignorance which causes war among the peoples of the earth. So dear shall it be to us that we will keep it always at our side, that we shall be able to be of service as were the minds and hearts of those who have gone before us, carving the way. We see the evidences of its great power and redemption in all lands where its influence has been felt. These lands are the fruitful, the progressive, and the compassionate. For example, let us take the scholars and teachers of all great lands. Have not they been the leaders of constructive thought and empire building forces? We know little of the statesman or soldier whose mind is void of vision and feeling which alone are obtained through education, whether publicly offered or self obtained through in- dustrious labor and broadening experience. Those who do hold our respect and admira- tion are men of letters themselves or supporters of educational programs. From the lives of great men, we turn to our own lives. We are part of a great people; we have a great future because we have had a fine heritage; and what we make of our future depends entirely upon the importance we place in our educational res- ponsibility. This responsibility is our life and work, our happiness and success, our usefulness and worth. And so. our final goal we shall attain with wisdom, compassion, and charity characterized to us in the symbol of our sword.

BYRON SNYDER, Individual photo manager The real nature of good is to be found in the real nature of God— Intelligence, knowledge, right reason. — Epictetus Man alone of all creatures can claim kinship with God. He was made a little lower than the angels, and in the image of the Divine One. Unlike his animal kin, he possesses the finer sensibilities of beauty, creative power, will, judgment, the ap- preciation of living, and most precious of all, an immortal spark, called soul. This strange flame has made man the master of earth and all other life thereon. It is this invisible spark that has overcome the impossible and created the sublime! Since the beginning, education like a kind and silent angel, has nurtured, pro- tected, cultivated, and moulded the golden flame. But whenever man has shut out one hundred thirty-four 163 LITERARY § knowledge and satisfied his bestial instincts, he has suffered. Witness history ' s tragic pageant of violence, oppression, slavery, and all the other forms of human misery. Ignorance is the co-worker of the sword, but education and tolerance are one. Through education, the agent of peace, the human soul develops and blossoms like a rare plant, shedding its perfume in the form of noble achievements. Education alone gives man his rightful heritage, the more abundant life! Today 1935, man treads more confidently, more intelligently the endless path of life. At last, he begins to realize the soul is God ' s gift and knowledge, the priceless fruit of education, its guardian angel.

The world has spent vast amounts in the last three centuries on public edtication. Immense sums have been expended, not only of money, but of human energy, human vision, human experimentation, and human lives. Men and women have lived and died for public education. Our forefathers left their native lands to seek a place so that their posterity could be educated regard- less of their station in life. Men fought in the Revolutionary War to preserve the freedom of our schools. Immense sums have been paid since that time for the advance- ment of education. . , We the students of today, have the responsibility of returning to the world as much and more than the world has given to us. How can we return these vast sums? We can repay them not with material power but with knowledge. This knowledge.m turn, will benefit humanity more than all earthly treasures. In reality, this payment makes this earth safer, more healthful, more beautiful, and more righteous, for humanity. The students who are specializing in the splendid science courses that are offered in the modern schools will have to give to the realm of science as much and more than science has given to them in order to meet their obligation to modern life. The students of literature will have to give to the field of literature works greater than any that have been written. Each student can repay society in the field that he is best fitted whether it be science, literature, art, music, engineering, or any other line of endeavor. We must remember our obligation to civilization. The future of public education lies with the students of today. Education will flourish if we make our payment to the world.

This interdependence is close and intricate and unseverable, for, truism though it may be, the schools are today equipping the society of tomorrow; and the new social order of tomorrow will in turn ordain the tomorrow of education. What is this new social order which education is molding and of which future education will be a product? It is a society which presents, in its present embryonic form, a vision of a practical Utopia, a cultural democracy in which leisure plays an unprecedented part. This cultural democracy, which will result from the ever-increasing opportunities and privileges of the school children of today, will be one of intense intellectual com- petition. Upon the evolution of this new social order, what will society demand of the educational force which produced it? It will demand a new and broadened conception of education, a conception which will embody two obligations, both of which are essential to the maintenance and improvement of the cultural democracy. The first is the obligation of the student to society. It will be the imperative responsibility of this era of education to equip the student with discernment capable of forming intelligent judgments of social questions. This, of course, has always been the main purpose, the supposed cornerstone, of education; but it has remained until now nothing but a hazy, indefinite ideal. The responsibility of transforming this nebulous standard into a valid reality is one at which liberal factions will laugh. Individualism is their battle cry. Yet, with the characteristic bigotry of the individual- ist, they ignore the raison d ' etre of individualism, which is the ultimate compensation of a successfully co-operative group. Any such successfully co-operative group will be the direct result of an educational system which establishes as its first requisite an inherent tolerance and understanding of social questions. The ques- tions of war and of living conditions, of poverty and of crime, will all be determined by the degree to which we are educated. Surely, we cannot conceive of a truly educated man condoning war? Nor we cannot conceive of a truly educated people accepting the loathsome living conditions and extreme penury of many classes of today. What, then, constitutes a truly educated people? Because of varying standards, there can be no specific answer and only one definite requirement. It is a people first of all whose formal education is complete, that is, whose schooling is not subject to either the capriciousness of politicians nor to ephemeral economic conditions. When this guar- antee of the people ' s educational right is assured, then can the schools begin to assume their obligation to society by helping the individual perceive clearly and accurately his responsibility as a citizen. Longer and more thorough courses in history, civics, political economy, social problems, and the science of government are the palpable solutions; but there is another intangible factor which will ultimately determine the success of society ' s part in the cultural democracy. It is a sense of moral obligation toward the advancement of society, in the interests of the individual, for individual effort breasts the stream that flows in the channels of the race. When education ' s responsibility toward society is satisfied, education of the future will begin the fulfillment of the second obligation demanded by the new social order, the responsibility of the student to himself, the creation of his own private individualism. Education ' s responsibility to society will lay the enduring foundation of the cultural democracy; its responsibility to the individual will erect a mental ed- ifice spacious enough to harbour every aesthetic value and cultural attainment to which its door of appreciation will open. If the entrance is appreciation, the key is knowledge. If the key is knowledge, the path to the aesthetic castle is cultural edu- cation. With the inevitable increase in leisure time to make thorough study and ap- preciation possible, the classics will guide our cultural democracy to inestimable intellectual heights. Thus, the future! With social responsibility as a basis for its intellectual attain- ment, education has a glorious destiny which none but the most obtuse would deny, for even the schools of today are pregnant with infinite possibilities which will eventu- ally bring about the fruition of this practical Utopia, the cultural democracy. FRANCES FISHER, A12— Co-editor one hundred forty-one 193 BLUE AND WHITE PimMi© Edmi(eatioe§ Th© Bolwairlk Oer Deinmocracy Second Place — Senior A Contest In the present turbulent condition of our national and world affairs, too few of us fully comprehend and appreciate the essential part played by public education in the maintenance and preservation of our American democracy. Close consideration establishes the proposition that a wide diffusion of education, in its true sense, among the masses of our people has been, is, and will continue to be an indispensable pre- requisite to the development and maintenance of that form of government which we enjoy today. Before, however, considering the close relationship between public education and democracy, let us pause to examine the ideal that necessarily precedes and under- lies this democracy and has been ever persistent in the minds of our people during the gradual progress toward liberty and freedom. This ideal, which has been the sustenance of American endeavor, is an attitude of mind which holds that the highest good lies in the good of all, that the aim of all being is common well-being. This ideal arises in the minds of a free people and depends upon their will and wisdom for its expression in social life. A. Duncan Yocum of the University of Pennsylvania ex- pressed it as follows; Democracy is not an institution, a declaration, or a con- stitution, but a common and controlling state of mind in every individual and every group — a continually growing strength, responsibility, love and faith, exercised toward a continually more inclusive body of people and a continually broadening and finer common welfare. To give expression and effectiveness to this ideal in their social life, the founders and builders of our nation strove and are striving to erect a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Instead of an autocratic government in which the masses were ruled by one individual or a small class of individuals, we have today a government in which the common masses are the rulers, law makers, and policy determiners. Our democracy, as given practical expression by our govern- ment, recognizes the principle of human progress — that of directing the lives of Its people for human work and service in their chosen endeavor. It seeks, through a diffusion of intelligence and Christian integrity, to bring the great mass of people to- gether into a commonwealth of independent, associated common life wherein the poor and the rich receive equal justice, where the importance of every human being and every honorable endeavor is emphasized, and where all of the people are given an opportunity to enjoy the fullest possible measure of freedom and to be prosperous and happy. But, as in the case of every living organism, a democracy can not long endure if it becomes stagnant and ceases to continually strive to increase the efficiency of its people and to reduce waste. This can be accomplished only through the w ork of growing citizens who possess productive capacity and moral and intellectual leader- ship, which, in turn is gained through a broad public education. As Thomas Jeffer- son wrote, If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be ... . there is no safe deposit for the functions of government, but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information. It thus becomes apparent that as the individual is the unit of which the masses are composed, it is an absolute necessity that our ideal of democracy be instilled and nurtured in the heart and soul of each individual if our government is to continue to exist and progress. And furthermore to enable the individual to enjoy and give force and effect to this high ideal,, government, as exemplified in our democracy, is our sole practical means. We now come to the point where we begin to see the important part taken by public education of the individual; since, in a democracy, the supreme power rests with the masses, it is most vital in insuring the success of the democracy that we have intelligent and well-informed society. The American ideal of democracy has developed through the practical experience of a free people, working together for a common good and thus discovering working modes of social organization and control. That experience lias not only clarified the ideal of democracy, but it has also revealed the conditions hi its realization and convinced even the average citizen of its entire dependence on education. The government that sets men free must aid them to self-government. one ti undred forty-two 163 LITERARY Political self-preservation dictated universal educational opportunity. Schools were founded to save the free state; and of necessity, they became free schools. Education has therefore become a recognized and essential function of a democracy. A democratic state saves itself by saving its component parts. Its continued development depends upon the continual development of all individuals composing it. We fully realize the importance of grounding the individual in the ideal under- lying democracy, and then developing in him, through public education, a public consciousness, through which he will be enabled to enjoy the practical operation of his ideal in a form of government. We begin to understand the intimate relationship between democracy and public education. Education becomes a duty of democracy because the development of democracy is a certain result of true education. There are, however, two possible concepts of this. One is more or less superficial in its origin: the other is much more deeply rooted. The superficial explanation is that a govern- ment resting upon popular suffrage can not be successful unless those who elect and who obey their governors are educated. Since a democratic society renounces the principle of external authority, it must find a substitute in voluntary power and interest that can be created only by education. The deeper and far more funda- mental concept reveals that a democracy is more than a form of government; it is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint, communicated experiences. While it is perhaps conceivable that a very small and restricted group of individuals could live together harmoniously, thinking only of selfish desires and personal welfare, and more or less totally disregarding the desires and wishes of others, such a mode of living would readily become unworkable, in fact impossible, when projected to em- brace the lives of large numbers of individuals. To preserve a harmonious state in this latter case, it is most essential that each individual be properly educated in a public consciousness — to guide his own thoughts and actions in reference to the rights and welfare of all the others composing the whole. By doing this, the individual then gains point and direction to his own thoughts and activities. It is by this suc- cessful multiplication of such individual efforts that differences of class, race, and religion are sufficiently mitigated and controlled to insure the greatest possible measure of enjoyment of freedom for the individual. Obviously, the successful con- tinuation of democracy is contingent upon and in proportion to the broad diffusion of public education among the masses. In times of wide-spread, economic distress such as our nation has been confronted with for the past several years and is still experiencing when the temptation is great, to many irresistible, to listen to untried theories, to stray from real funda- mentals, there is today a greater need than ever for constructive, public education to insure the continued existence of our democracy. Our present public problems involve an even greater intellectual effort than during periods when such a large part of the people is not suffering from economic want. The many broad issues which are constantly coming up for the masses ' decision require much intelligent thought and consideration. Today, social knowledge requires, among other abilities, a recourse, not to memory, but to the accumulated, intellectual stores buried in print. Modern government makes ' literacy essential; and because of the present turbulent conditions throughout the world, the necessity for more widely diffused education is even more pronounced. Public education is an absolutely essential part of any hope the common people may have for redress of their present grievances or for permanent social, political, and economical reforms based upon principles of justice and equality. Because of the new- problems and conditions with which we are constantly forced to conjure, we must also realize the necessity for a new vision of education attuned to the requirements of the time And what will this new education involve? Education for tomorrow ' s democracy will be education for the fullness of living in society, as effective, contri- buting members, serving its ends, devoted to its ideals, habituated to its ways and trained to realize its purposes. Education for tomorrow ' s democracy means facing this problem Have we the vision; can we find the means to develop the agencies not only for teaching all how a society of common goodwill should be organized, but also through actual experience for training ourselves and the future generations in its habits and activities? We should grow in the vision of its ideals, and we should develop motives sufficiently high and powerful to sustain and inspire in us all that may be involved in its realization. Possibly at no other time has anyone expressed the ideas treated in this discussion so succinctly as the father of our country, George Washington in his Farewell Address to the American people: Promote then, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened. eleanqr BUREgH A12 one hundred forty-three 193 BLUE AND WHITE Miglh Sdhool Gradoaites Sheep or Shepherd Third Place — Senior A Contest Three centuries of public education have been completed. As the United States enters the fourth century, it must pause to ask itself some grave questions: are the public schools accomplishing their cardinal purpose, the bringing into the world of men and women who are capable of reasoning intelligently and acting capably? Are the schools cramming knowledge into the pupils ' brains like preserves into a jar and the n sealing the jar with a diploma, or are they showing pupils how to think for themselves so that they will not cease learning on the day they receive their sheep- skins? Are high school graduates shepherds or sheep? Solemn questions are these which in times like the present demand an answer in full. These are not the times for the high school to release another flock of sheep into the world. There are enough of them in the country now. Panic stricken, they know not where to turn. They have aims, but the aims are rigid; they have methods, but the methods are inflexible; they have knowledge, but the knowledge is mechanical. Not so the independent thinker, the shepherd. Nothing disconcerts him for any length of time, and nothing can force him into that stupefaction which is the chief character- istic of the sheep. He is adaptable. If an obstacle arises, he surmounts it; or else, realizing that it is insurmountable, he changes his course. He can do all this because he has the reasoning habit. No specialized vocational courses can prepare a youth for life as well as can the reasoning habit. This thinker is the type of man that will overcome the depression. The sheep cannot extricate themselves from the mire; the shepherds must lead them out. Depression is not the only bog into which the sheep are wandering. The cloud on the horizon once no bigger than a man ' s fist now threatens to blot out the whole world. War looms. The newspapers are full of prophecies of an impending strife; yet hundreds of thousands of high school graduates who will be doomed to fall prey to the bullet, the gas, and disease, face the situation with an apathy that parallels nothing so much as a flock of sheep huddled in a corner of the pen waiting for the wolf to glut his thirst for blood. If there were enough of these graduates whom I call shepherds, war would never take place. They would arise in a body and say to the ambitious politicians, the greedy business men, the bigoted propagandists, We refuse to fight your battles. War is wrong and malicious, no matter with what scare-heads of propaganda you may flood the newspapers. War is ruin. War is murder. We will not fight. And the world would listen and take heed. Even if there were no suggestion of war, even if there were no great depression, this country would still have great need for the intelligent thinkers. They are nec- essary to the existence of a democracy. Graft, corruption, and crime could not exist in a country of dull-witted thick skinned sheep. But a short space of time would suf- fice to remove all vestige of these outrages if all the sheep were given the shepherds ' crook of intelligent deliberation. Unfortunately, it is too late to do that for all the sheep-like men and women in the country, but the schools can teach each child to fashion such a crook for himself and to be skillful in the wielding of it. Such a staff would be a great boon to the nation in the election booths. It is in these booths every two years that democracy renews itself. Like the mythical giant of Greek legend who rose from the earth with doubled strength, the nation should return from the election booths invigorated and refreshed. But whereas the giant depended for his power upon the earth itself, it is not on the booth that the United States relies but upon the intelligence of the voters therein. Yet, there is no vote so harmful as that of the soporific unconcerned citizen. His ballot markings are the result of pages of printed blather, blatant speeches, and even euphonious names. Is there not need for a voter who takes the noisy but weak arguments into the soli- tude of his mind together with the softer but finer points and mulls over them before making a decision? In addition to shepherd-like voters, the United States needs officials who will be shepherds in the fullest sense of the ancient word. The ancient shepherd showed his hungry sheep where they might find food and then allowed them to eat unmolested; he sheltered them from storms, and protected them from danger. He did not pretend to protect his flock while at the same time he preyed upon them to such an extent that their existence was threatened, as many political grafters of this country have done. In this crisis, the school enters the picture. Realizing the great charge that is in its hands, it asks: how are these shepherds, these leaders in thought and ikii hundred forty-four 163 wkr a . ak-.v ..

Every club, every class room discussion, every voluntary activity contributes to the originality of the participants. But if the schools realize the need of America for youths who can think logically, they must impress upon the pupils constantly that parody in the cynic ' s calendar, You may lead an ass to knowledge, but you cannot make him think; and must first instill in the child a craving to learn and a will to work for knowledge. This is im- portant. Far too many students receive the grade of A, the highest mark of ex- cellence, for doing only the work assigned to them and not a word more. From this point, and before he is taught facts, the schoolboy must be taught to doubt. Doubt- ing is the foundation of progress. The doubters who refused to accept point blank statements are the men who have led the world upward. But it is not enough to doubt. Then must the youth seach out and pore over the writings of authorities, speculate over all his findings, and then after arriving at a tentative conclusion test his decision. Then, and then only, may the pupil forget his baa and reach for the shepherds ' crook. Then, and then only, will the public school fulfill its purpose and develop not sheep but shepherds. BERNARD TAPER, A12 Democracy ' s Tib© Objective of Edeeaitioe Democracy is an outcome of the struggle for liberty. All who have a share in the common life should have the privilege and right of participation in the power over common affairs. If the people are to rule, they should be as intelligent and well in- formed as possible. Free education for the masses, therefore, is one of the first steps toward Democracy. In the middle ages and early modern period, education was confined largely to the clergy. In the later modern period, the State replaced the church; and free schools were widely established. The United States pioneered in free schools as in free government, and the smooth progress of democracy in America has been aided through the existence of the low percentage of illiteracy. In fact, the United States has been held up as a shining example of what a true Democracy can accomplish in the education of its citizens, and of what an educated citizenship can do in making democracy a success. The Puritans showed a serious conern for education in the seventeenth century; and their schools were devoted mainly to the accepted ideas of religion, politics, and morality. They wanted their children to be able to read and write and do arithmetic. To accomplish this ideal, they established a public school in every community at the expense of the public. Harvard College was established six years after the Puritans had landed in Massachusetts. This foundation called for secondary schools, and one was instituted at Dorchester in 1639. The Massachusetts school system, adopted in 1647, is the model upon which the school system of the whole United States has been fashioned. This provided for: firstly, a free primary school in every community to teach the rudiments of knowledge; secondly, a high school to fit the youths for the university; and finally, a college or university to train men for professions; the first two were free and publicly supported; the last was endowed. At an early date, the New England colonies took advantage of the abundance of free land by reserving a portion of it as an endowment for schools. The existence of free schools in all the newer states, from the small district schools in every township to the state universities, is due in no slight measure to this practice of reserving public lands as an educational en- dowment. The use of these lands for th e development of formal agencies of instruction was a positive step in progress toward the inspiration and realization of American democratic ideals in education. The public school system of the United States is regarded as one of the most essential parts of American democratic institutions, and it is a fundamental assumption that the chief purpose of free education is the making of good citizens rather than good scholars. The remedy for the delay in assimilating immigrants into our customs is education; it gives the people a better chance. Public schools of the United States make for equality, in a measure bridging the gap between the rich and the poor, the gentle and the uncouth. The inequality of one man ' s being born intelligent and another stupid, one having an excellent home training and the other none, was the business of the state to remove. Uniform education seemed the solution. But these expectations of the eighteenth century philosophers have not been fully realized in the establish- onc hundred forty-nine 193 BLUE AND WHITE ment of free public schools yet. However, In the United States, the modern faith in edu- cation has been most effectively confirmed in practice. Here, high schools and universities are accurate reflections of American life. They do not aim to make scholars although the universities open the door to the scholarly life for those who seek it. An American youth may go readily through the public schools from the primary grade to the end of the college course without acquir- ing much book knowledge or a taste for excursions of the mind, or any capacity for handling ideas; but he cannot do so easily without meeting all sorts of people, with- out finding his level among these people, without being subjected to tests which ignore his pet egoisms and illusions, without learning that poverty is not a disgrace nor good manners a sign of weakness, without becoming in some measure aware of that essentially democratic truth that the merit of a man is independent of the externals which distinguish him. So long as American life is essentially democratic, the public schools will have a powerful progressive influence. But if the American life is becoming less demo- cratic, then the public schools can no longer serve democracy by merely reflecting conditions of life. At the present time, the American life is becoming more democratic; and class divisions are being pushed steadily backward. Through the influence of the public schools, political freedom is now more effective than ever before. The public schools of the United States, with 300 years of sound teaching behind them, are the ultimate factor in the success of democratic ideals in our country. The foundations for the all-important ideal of democracy have been laid, and the perpetuation and con- tinuance of its ideals now remain in the hands of the public schools of today and with the new generations of the future. fred Mcpherson— A12 Th© Glhaflleeg© of Omit Edecatioiniffll Heritage We, the young men and women of America, have received from our New England forefathers a magnificent heritage in our educational system. This great system, which has made our training possible, was founded upon a three-fold ideal: first, the development of true knowledge; second, the cultivation of the mental and spiritual capacities of the student; and third, the awakening of a desire on the part of the student to serve others. We have been taught the great and fundamental truths of life based on science, literature, art, and religion. Our minds have been so trained that we should now be able to face the world eager to make a real contribution to the society which has given so much t o us. And we have been shown that we are needed in a world where there are people who must have physical help, mental stimulation, and spiritual comfort. These privileges and opportunities form our heritage. From this same heritage comes a stirring challenge. We must pay our debt to our forefathers by so improving and enlarging the structure which they set up for us that our democracy will continue to lead the world in real progress and in the perpetuation of those ideals of character and true patriotism which have carried this great nation to the heights which it has already attained. However, no nation is better than its individual citizens; therefore we must earn- estly continue to cultivate, after we have left school, those qualities of character which will lead us to the more abundant life : namely sincerity, honesty, truthfulness, dignity, respect for and obedience to law, self control, love of peace, purity of thought, word, and deed, and a genuine faith and trust in God. We are surrounded outwardly by a great many material comforts and conveniences. But let us not place too much importance on these trappings, nor regard them as an end in themselves, but rather as a means to an end. Then, we must so clearly establish our ultimate purpose in life that we shall not be misled by the seemingly important details of every day life. When we have learned thus to control ourselves, we must think of our fellow men. Let us try to become what Ruskin terms true kings and queens, with our king- doms not measured by earthly conquest, but by the men and women who count us among their true friends, and by the number of people who else were homeless, to whom our influence and assistance extends. Then, let us establish a true spirit of co-operation. This implies a broad understanding of human nature, and a clear insight into individual personality. We must learn to discover the inherent, though one h undrrd fifty 163 LITERARY sometimes latent, nobility in all people, not only in our own but in other races, nation- alities, and creeds, and then to replace mere tolerance by genuine appreciation. When we have accomplished this, we shall have fully realized the significance of the motto of our school: Obedience to law, respect for others, mastery of self, joy in service: These constitute life. Furthermore, we shall have built of ourselves human temples, dedicated to the service of our fellow man and to the glory of God. This idea of service leads us to our third responsibility: that of applying our ideals and principles in the careers which we choose to follow. In science and medicine, service to mankind must be the real object. Educators must prepare students to employ their knowledge to the physical, intellectual, and spiritual improvement of the human race. The main object of all artists should be to create beauty for their fellow men. Govern- ment officials and lawyers should always be mindful of the fact that their calling is to promote justice, liberty, security, and hence real happiness among the people whom they serve. And last, social service workers must strive above all else for the welfare of humanity, and work for that day when mere charity will no longer be necessary. If we could build our careers on such a foundation of service and unselfish love for all men and carry on in that same spirit, then we should find a serenity of soul which will assure us that we are truly advancing in life and character. So, with our goal in life clearly in mind, let us accept the challenge of our educa- tional heritage. Let us take up the torch where our fathers left it to us; let us kindle it with the fire of our ideals, and hold it high in a needy world. And let us pray that its light may become brighter as we live a life of service and that we shall realize more clearly each day, that, in serving man we are serving God. MARGARET BROWN, A12 Co-editor D©infii©(ora ey 9 § Clhalleeg© to Edueatioe Honorable Mention When the grave question is asked whether our citizenry is able to govern itself wisely, not only in times of prosperity, but in times of distress, American democracy has flung its challenge to American education. The troubled times of today are a test. Men and women are now confronted with conditions of distress in social life and confused movement in government. These miseries go hand in hand, but in- effective government must be replaced before social ills can be cured. Effective gov- ernment depends upon the intelligence of its constituents. Will our public education develop that intelligence? To understand fully the tasks of the schools of today, one must know their back- ground. The traditional Latin School of three hundred years ago slowly gave way to the academy, and the academy to the free public high school. The diversion of public funds for public instruction marked the turning point. The final victory of the free tax-supported public schools, after a long, hard struggle, was due in great measure to the growing recognition of their importance, not only in promoting literacy, but in their training of students in the duties of citzenship in a democracy. The growing complexity of modern society has since greatly enlarged the early responsibilities of the school. From educational institutions teaching simply academic fundamentals, the public schools have gradually become institutions for advancing national welfare. In the modern curriculum, civics is no longer merely a course in civil government; but it is an institution in social living, in the participation in the forms and practices of government. Comprehensive college courses in orientation or citizenship are now compulsory. Society is realizing that it is through wider education that progress is made. Responsibility for this progress in democratic government rests on every member of its society. Its success depends entirely on the intelligence and character of its citizens. Because of wide-spread education in the United States, not only in primary but also in secondary public schools, in the rural as well as in the urban districts, excellent educational facilities are being offered. Should not such education fit the people for good citizenship in this, the government that fosters it? In this year 1935, we are confronted on all sides by conditions of misfortune, dis tress, and confusion. There is no field of life that is not shaken, no phase that stands unmoved. The political, the economic, the social world, each is facing its crisis. The uncertainty in the political world can be seen not only at home, but abroad. Foreign political movements usually find reflection here. We feel a thousand pressures — Fasc- one hundred fifty-one 193 BLUE AND WHITE ism in Italy, ' ' Nazi-ism in Germany, communism in Soviet Russia, socialism in the monarchy of England. We are sensitive to the repercussions of revolutions in Mexico and Cuba. The shocks and the weakness, the upheavals, and the instability of the world without are necessarily recorded here. Politics within our own borders are also disturbed and unstable. The constitutional government of the United States of America seems to have become almost an experi- ment. We may observe in Washington the finest governmental laboratory the world has ever seen. We see the citizens of the United States striving to be successful chemists in a new type of science. We may watch them filling the Congressional test tubes with laws, and we may stand by and wait for the all important chemical re- actions which will determine the success or failure of the experiments. The old theories of government seem to have been exploded by the addition of untried re- agents; the new factors have not yet been proved. Not only in politics, but also in economics do these unsettled conditions exist. Webster has defined economics as the science that treats of the relation of the world ' s wealth to the world ' s needs. A mere glance about shows the extent of the distortion of the balance between these two. The country is full of vast undeveloped resources; there should be enough and more for every man. But today it seems impossible, even under the time-tested capitalistic system, to produce and distribute commodities at a price which every man can afford to buy with the wages he is able to earn. The economic balance has been destroyed; and before we may regain prosperity, we must adjust this balance. Social conditions are likewise inter-related with the same confusing problems. The tremendous amount of relief work that has become necessary testifies to the increasing amount of unemployment, of poverty, and of actual starvation. Perhaps at last, however, the public is beginning to realize that poverty is no more essential to a community than is bubonic plague or slavery. Relief work and the dole system are only temporary remedies. Is not the way to wipe out poverty to prevent it? These are the problems to which the government requires an answer. The responsibility for reply belongs to the people themselves. Inevitably we must turn to that great source of strength which determines the intelligence of any people, its system of education. Will education accept this new challenge with the same courage with which it met colonial problems, with the same capacity with which it helped push our frontier westward, with the same vision with which it has helped to forecast the evils which now beset us? On the answer to this challenge will depend the preservation of our democratic form of government. ANNE MARTINEAU A12 THi© Meystoe© of Omir Dennnoeraey Honorable Mention Education is the keystone of American democracy. Just as the keystone is the wedge-shaped block which holds an arch in place, just so education holds intact the structure of our democracy. Two salient facts exist about this relationship of education to democracy. First, democracy has progressed as education advanced. Second, we may well expect democratic government and popular education to continue their forward march in the future. During the early colonial period, the only education most children received was what their parents could teach them and what they learned in the Church Sunday Schools. True, the northern colonies tried to establish common schools at an early period, but the colonies were weak, as well as poor. The school law of Connecticut, passed in 1650, provided that whenever a township increased to fifty householders, they should employ some one to teach all such children as shall report to him, to read and write. The colleges and secondary schools established during this period were intended chiefly for those wishing to enter the ministry, and their curriculum was largely of a theological nature. Sons of prosperous families in the south were educated at home by private tutors and then went to English universities. However, toward the end of the colonial days, colleges began to enlarge their courses and we find that two of the men having most to say in regard to the formation of our government were educated in American schools. Alexander Hamilton was a student at Columbia College, and Thomas Jefferson attended William and Mary. Hamilton, although a man of humble birth, had no faith in the ability of the man in the street to govern himself. He one hundred fifty-two 163 Courtesy of Keystone Photo Service Beethoven! §tatee 9 Pershing Sqoaure Great Master, your symphonies lift our burdens to inspire and lead us; we know the depth and beauty of thy heart. Library 9 Lo A, High Selhool Leaders of the future spend fruitful hours with masters of the ages and with geniuses of the present, the true friends in books. Photo by Witzel LITERARY believed in a republic as long as it was ruled by the wealthy, moneyed class. The great democrat, Thomas Jefferson, did not hold the same views as Hamilton and his colleagues. Jefferson loved the multitude; he recognized in every man a common humanity with himself. He considered the three greatest achievements of his life the writing of the Declaration of Independence, the writing of the bill establishing religious freedom in Virginia, and the founding of the University of Virginia. During the century and a half since Jefferson, Hamilton, Washington, and other great patriots organized our republic, education kept pace with the nation as it grew and developed. Our educational program and facilities have evolved in pro- portion to the country ' s growth. As Henry Van Dyke has stated so aptly, Among those who have been most influential in the guidance of the republic, nothing is more remarkable than their agreement in the opinion that education ... is friendly to repub- lic institutions. As these educational opportunities increased, and more and more of our people became literate, the rights of citizens to participate in government were also increased. So we find America, a nation with public education extending higher than any other nation of the world, and with a higher degree of literacy than existed two generations ago, as Carleton Washburne tells us. The general attitude of Americans toward education was well put by Henry Van Dyke when he wrote: The sincere respect for education which is typical of the American spirit .... is the sure conviction that every American child ought to have the chance to go to school, to learn to read, to write, to think .... and the feeling that it will be to the credit and benefit of democracy not only to raise the average level of intelligence, but also to produce men and institutions of commanding excellenc e in learning and science and philosophy — these are the elements which you will find present in ... . the views of typical Americans in regard to education. The American people realize that the greatest insurance for the safeguarding of civilization and the welfare of posterity lies in the development of an intelligent national mind, trained by education. This is proven by the fact that the permanent value of all property, including endowments, of all public and private educational institutions in the United States amounts to the staggering sum of over twelve billion dollars. The only possible return to the nation on this enormous investment is the value in the mind trained. With these billions of dollars as the mortar holding education, the keystone, secure in our social and political structure, we may be sure that democratic govern- ment, supported by education, will march on to new victories and to new high levels of achievement in the future. PHILIP J. HALLA, A12 Tin© Vale© of Modero Edeeetioin In the education of our principal territories, the United States has successfully over come many obstacles. Hawaii, Alaska, Porto Rico, and the Philippines presented numer- ous problems. The greatest of these was the training of our foreign wards to read, write, and speak in English. The problem of teaching English to one group is magnified by the fact that in some islands this group represents as many as five separate dia- lects. In addition to these problems, it was realized that there were too many white collar men being developed for the jobs available. With a thought to the future, the United States saw the menace of this, and resorted to a subtle means of sending the people back to the soil. We incorporated vocational training into the school curriculum. Today, America may well be proud of the progress of these territorial schools under the guidance of American teachers and modern methods of educational training. In this training of our foreign wards, vocationally as well as academically, the United States ' policy was to spread education with a liberal hand. In order to facilitate this, the first barrier to overcome was the confusion of languages. So thoroughly was the foundation laid in the first years of our educational programme, that English gained a lasting foothold and is now becoming the tongue of our territorial schools. In Hawaii, English is used exclusively in the schools. With a population three quarters oriental, facility in its use still offers some difficulty. This difficulty is being overcome by the desire and progressiveness of these oriental children, aided by tactful and competent teachers. One may understand the situation when it is explained that the parents of these children speak little and understand less of that very language which is the foundation of their children ' s learning, the key to their future measure of success. The exclusive use of English in Porto Rican schools, however, was found one hundred fifty-seven 193 BLUE AND WHITE to be a hindrance to the advancement of progressively inclined children. They were retarded by having to study and recite in English. So an effort at bi-lingualism was made and has proven successful. This situation was simplified in Alaska in that the only language to gain a foothold was English. Indeed, the advancement of these peoples is a monument to our educational system. Our progress, however, was difficult in the Philippines. At the start of our educational programme there, we encountered a tangle of native dialects, Moro and Spanish. Gradually, the Filipino was being taught to dispense with his Spanish, the medium of interpretation so long used under Spanish rule. Signs were posted in the schools which read: Speak English. As a child, while going to school in the province of Pampanga, I recall the broken English of the younger generation, mixed with words and whole phrases of their provincial tongue, and a good portion of Spanish thrown in for luck. As these natives were Christianized by the Spanish padres in the great church of the islands, the Catholic church, it is only natural that they should hold to their knowledge of the language of the padres. To sum up the difficul- ties which were indeed a handicap to the natives, I remember one well educated Filipino woman saying: I think in Tagalog, pray in Spanish; but I speak and write in English. The value of American education, however, was evidenced in the fact that she chose to speak and write in English. Educated to speak and write in English, our wards have acquired a means of speaking to and being understood by the great outside world. Taught in classrooms where there is a mixture of races, they have learned to meet people of other nation- alities, understand, and be understood by them. It would seem that Hawaii, the world ' s; melting pot, would present problems of peculiar educational complexity because of racial admixture. Yet she does not. The children of all the races meet in the classroom and playground; they compete on the same terms; they acquire the same principles; and they are imbued with the same loyalty. The pedagogical melting pot does melt. While living in Hawaii, I attended junior high school. It was clear to me that these orientals were closer in thought and manners to their American schoolfellows than to their own Asiatic ancestors. A Chinese boy was elected presi- dent of our graduating class in which the Japanese had a clear majority. This, to me, is a striking example of freedom from prejudice. First hand, I saw that the results of our educational programme were most gratifying. This educational programme in our territories has been influenced by the fact that there are not enough office jobs for all who can qualify. The vast majority must be manual laborers; therefore the curricula of our territorial schools consist largely of vocational studies and courses in practical arts. We are teaching our wards to de- pend on themselves by raising their own food stuffs, building their own homes and buildings, and supplying their own various needs. In the adaption and maintenance of this modern system of education in our territories, due thought has been given to the capacity and requirements of those to be educated. Under this system has grown a race of people far more advanced, mentally as well as physically, than might have been, had we not sought to lend our helping hand. We see hea lthier people, reclaimed lands, flourishing crops, modern machinery, willing hands, and people more mentally alert, carrying on toward a goal far beyond the dreams of their parents before them. The provisions of the constitution allowing equality for all has been upheld in the United States ' s policy of a liberal education. Reaching into her distant territories, she is equipping these young men and women to meet the demands of living in a modern world, unshackled from the bonds of superstition and ignorance, progressing toward a broader future.

FERN DAWSON, A12 163 LITERARY Character Beildieg In Oer Schools Honorable Mention — Senior A Contest Today, as never before, do we need men of high character! We are becoming more and more convinced that it is not occupation that proves our worth in the world, but it is character. There are many men and women in our present day who are failing in life ' s struggle. If we seek to find out the cause of this failing, we have only to see that such people have not developed the essential part of their natures, that spiritual and invisible something that controls life and is the very essence of the Eternal. Our present day schools develop character because the character of man can best be molded in youth. Rosseau says men become incorrigible as they grow old. The roots of character are within all of us from birth, but they must be watered and watched over if we want to bring out the flowers of character. The modern school is doing this. In earlier days, the school did not pay much attention to character building. Much stress was placed on studies, for it was taken for granted that a stu- dent would develop such habits as responsibility, honesty, co-operation, and all the other desirable traits as he went through school. The modern idea is different, for as Seton said, Manhood, not scholarship is the first aim of education. I shall now endeavor to show how the modern school develops character. The most important force for the upbui lding of character is the morale of the teachers and principals. Imitation is very strong during the adolescent period, and pupils copy what they particularly admire in those whom they respect. Our present day teachers are men and women of high ideals, noble character, scholarship, sympathy, and devotion to the interest of the pupil. It is always true that nobleness en- kindles nobleness. Many a teacher whose name is never lauded and who has passed on without reward, has made the lives of her students better by her influence. Another important force is the school government. Every secondary school has some type of student control. This inspires greater co-operation, originality, and independence in the students. It trains the pupil to act in accordance with the school laws. This obedience for school laws is the foundation for the development of his respect for the laws of state and nations as he grows older and take s his place in world affairs. Beside this respect for law, school government develops leadership and gives a chance for this leadership to be demonstrated. Everyone, living in the turmoil of this great world of ours, knows that we do need leaders in our government. Modern schools in contrast with those of the past are offering many courses in art and music. Examining these courses and their attraction, we can all understand that if we draw, sketch, or design, we have an opportunity to develop our artistic sense. In addition to this, the pupil who designs a beautiful piece of work not only is happy because he has done something worth while; but in addition, his love of beauty is widened; and the appreciation for good taste is increased. Good taste is also one of the qualities that makes a more worthy character. In our schools, there are orchestras, glee clubs, classes in music appreciation , harmony classes, and the band. We all know that the appeal of music is universal, and the man that hath no music in himself is to be pitied. Again in the average school, the pupils have an opportunity to build up character in the contests that occur in school life. If the contest be athletic, the boy and girl are given an excellent opportunity to display a sense of fair play, face defeat honorably, and a desire to play their best. If the contest is one in spelling or debating, the pupil has the same chance to display poise, self-assurance, and a sense of fair play. The underlying purpose of these contests is to develop the character and personality of the individual. Moreover character is developed in present day schools by the social activities offered by the schools. In the past, there were no such outside activities to com- pensate for hard studies. Today, we have senior dances, class plays dinners for various clubs and many other functions. These activities help to develop good manners in the student, and proves our schools are reaching out in many directions and establishing points of contact that are helpful in developing the character of the pupils. The schools have used many methods in developing character. Let us always hold in highest esteem these great institutions of learning, and forever remember Bismarck s remark, The nation that has the schools has the future.

While she prepared to study, she happened to look at a portrait of a lovely young girl, her great, great grandmother Elizabeth, when she was sixteen years old. How lucky she was! said Betty Ann enviously. I ' m sure she didn ' t have to study so much. Betty Ann, Betty Ann, softly called a strange, sweet voice. Quickly glancing up, Betty beheld the lovely figure of the portrait come gracefully down toward her. Why, great, great, grandmother Elizabeth! cried Betty with surprise and wonder in her voice. What are you doing here? Dear namesake, I came to tell you something. When I heard you speak so reck- lessly of your studies, I just had to come down, said the quaint, pretty girl of the portrait. But grandmother, if you went to school today, I know you ' d hate to do homework, pouted Betty. No, no, child. You are very fortunate. When I went to school, books were treasures because there were so few of them. At home, my father discouraged my in- terest in studies, for women in those days were not supposed to be well educated. How- ever, I managed to study, if only a little, said grandmother. Do tell me more about your school days, begged Betty with real interest, I ' d love to hear about them. Well, I shall begin with the school house. It was just a one room log-house with low, wooden benches, no desks nor blackboards, and was very uncomfortable. Why, Betty, in winter we nearly froze! We had one teacher who taught us reading, writing, arithmetic, and spelling. I wish he had taught us more subjects, said grand- mother wistfully. Now tell me about your school. Oh Grandmother, you ' d love my school. It is so big, comfortable, and beautiful; you ' d marvel at it. There are over a hundred teachers and rooms, thousands of books; and we study many subjects, said Betty. Everything is so nicely managed that going to school seems like going to a business. Oh Betty, you do not appreciate it enough, reproached her Grandmother. How fortunate you are! I am beginning to realize it now, Grandmother. We certainly are lucky, the students of today, said Betty thoughtfully. This conversation continued for some time as Betty and her great, great, grandmother compared their school days. Such a great difference there was, too. At length, the grandmother regretfully said, Well, I must leave now. Take heed of my advice; study hard while you can, for education is priceless. With these words, she took her place again on the portrait. Hetty Ann! Betty Ann! called a voice, this time sharp and impatient. Wake up and study.

LITERARY Ednaeaitioe Climbs On week days, Greta was politely seventeen. On Sunday, she was a bit older and wore her hair up and earrings. But on Saturday, her age was indefinite: and with her head held higher, it was easy to imagine herself carefully heyond her teens. Maybe it was the little people all asking questions and fighting to hold her hands that made her feel older and wiser on the last day of the week. On this Saturday, the car stopped at the corner and Greta hurried around to the curb. Straggling along the sidewalk toward the hall were miscellaneous tiny figures, dirty and ragged. She dropped in with them and was seized by a dozen small hands. Hello, hello, a dozen voices in a dozen pitches sang again and again. You are late, Miss Greta, you are late. Carefully chosen words in English replaced the fluent Spanish of the Mexican school. ' No, you are early, buenos ninos. We will have time for a game before the bell. Spinning around in a circle and singing a Spanish song, Greta surveyed the dusty ard. Hemmed in between the old grey brick and adobe chapel of St. Peter and the tottering warped wood hall was the tight fitting patch of dirt and cement that made up the yard. Treeless and grassless, it was, nevertheletss, the only space for 60 little children of the streets. It was part of their education. Across the yard was St. Peter ' s hall. Outside, it was paint-chipped and for- gotten; but inside it presented a fairy land for minds starved for color and life. All about the walls spread a garden of pink peacocks, and blue flowers perched in and under yellow trees and shrubs. Along the bench that circled the hall were piled papers, jars of flour and water paste, scarce sheets of coarse meat paper, colored envelope linings, magazine pictures, and broken crayolas. These were the supplies for the school. From these Greta must map a program of coloring and cutting for the day. After the other classes had filed away, Miss Greta took her 24 wide-eyed babies to the stage for the dancing. Forgetting the intricate ballet she learned from the pro- fessor on Thursday evening, she skipped around in circles, guiding their doubtful bare feet in a wild Spanish dance one of the other teachers had taught her. Then they were gasping for breath and laughing at the few who slipped instead of skipping, she took them back to the table. Let us have a story, Greta suggested. Slow were the words for the little ears so untrained in English. Three Bears, en espanol, small voices pleaded. Si, si, brown eyes begged. The three bears en englais, the teacher smiled. When eyes and voices questioned over strange words, Greta used the Spanish, and 24 little voices replied in English. Progress was difficult and tedious. Their minds were slow to grasp the long stutter- ing words. They were tired of balancing three on a small chair, and stubby toes were getting scratched on the rough boards and splintering floor. During the recess. London bridges fell about Miss Greta ' s golden head; and her pink starched dress flashed in the hot sun. The other two teachers watched her from the window. Why tire herself like that? Let them amuse themselves. They will get on all right alone. But they had never held small moist hands tightly and sped around in a circle. Greta could catch their voices now and then. Why was everyone ready to let things go on as they were! Didn ' t anyone believe in helping? Here were little ones salvaged from the streets, drawing on meat paper and pasting with flour they would rather have baked in bread. The other teachers had different ideas. Their job was to instruct the children. When the recess came, they turned the lambs into the bare pasture, wiped their hands on their handkerchiefs, and worried about their own clean dresses. And the lambs who had never learned to play in their crowded rooms, stood and stared, or ran breathlessly across the street and out of sight. When the class gathered again, it was to draw scraggly cats or toppling houses. Then the little ones printed the letters below the picture with Greta guiding the clumsy hands or teaching the English. She was always teaching and re-teaching the same words again and again, and directing the same hands that somehow never seemed to lose their first clumsiness. The crowded hall was hot and stuffy. The smell of damp, little unwashed bodies filled the room. Dirty fingers marks found their way to the white dress and clean hands and cheeks. The chairs toppled often, heads were bumped and knees scratched; then Miss Greta some way made the hurt well again. It was all so much magic to the kindergarten class. one hundred sixty-five 193 BLUE AND WHITE Miss Greta did not know, herself, exactly what made her do it. Someone had to work the magic, and for a young teacher, the magic worked both ways. The crowd laughed and wrote her poems in the uplifting of society and sent her horned-rim specs for Christmas, but Greta knew no one could change the school, unless it was she. After the songs, all the classes filed into the center of the hall. I pledge allegiance the tattered flag flapped from the stage. The tired voices droned through the words; then the bell rang and the lines filed in crooked rows out of the door. Next Saturday, she must see to the lack of pencils, maybe the girls .... The other teachers said she shouldn ' t worry, the crayon pieces were good enough. Someone had sain education is at its zenith! That was wrong; it was only strug- gling toward the light, and Greta would be there to help as long as the little school across the tracks held its fascination and promise. EVELYN DONLEY A12 Th© Glhaiegieg Treed Organization Prize Essay — Philomathian All major economic and social changes are closely followed by corresponding changes in our schools since the main purpose of public education has been to pre- pare the pupil for effective social living in our democracy. No course of study in the American public school, no matter how fit it may be, can be anything but a mis- appropriation of public funds if it omits the type of education necessary for a demo- cracy. This essential training should develop in each individual certain knowledge, ideals, habits, and interests. With these powers, he should find his place and use that place to aid both society and himself to reach higher goals. The principles of education, like the principles of agriculture, deal with growing things. Similar to agriculture, education has become scientific only in the last few hundred years. Formerly, both were carried out for material results, and with no thoughts of fulfilling an obligation to society. Three hundred years ago in 1635, the first public school was founded because great me n realized that education is vital to the whole nation and not only to the welfare of the individual. It is the only hope for the ideals of democracy. Since the first public Latin School, the evolution of education has become more apparent. Until the last century, aesthetic training was the main objective in public schools. One was considered well learned with a mastery of only the arts and sciences. Today, a broadened view is taken. A new type of curriculum is formed. Some of the newer subjects deemed essential for good citizenship, and deserving of pursuit are the fields of physical education and commercial education. They aid in organizing society so that each member may develop his personality by the worthy use of leisure time, by ethical character, and by complete command of fundamental processes. Now, physical education is concerned with the whole life of the student, his health, and the building of his body to increase his chances for a healthier and longer life. At the present, youth ' s main job is to go to school to train for adult responsibili- ties in a new and changing world. To do his best job, youth will need a body that has life and vitality in it. Hence, nearly every state in the Union has laws providing for physical education in the public schools. The scope of commercial education has reached an extent, undreamed of in the early high schools. Although one of the objects of commercial education, as taught in the public schools today, is still vocational in character, the primary aims concern the fulfillment of personal and social needs. There is a fundamental problem in every social institution, and every citizen has need of business information. Public schools are justified when they demand the inclusion of commercial education in the school curriculum. Commercial and social training cannot be kept apart. This evolution of education resembles the evolution of mankind. The American public school is rapidly changing to become the most important social institution that is part of us. American life has lately become a complicated school, studying, and performing for the needs of a large group of boys and girls. Education and civilization are inseparably connected. The persistent motive of training in public schools is to fit the individual to be a citizen. Public institutions of learning, as we know them today, are schools of the people; and the people have demanded, and will continue to demand, that their courses be practical, beneficial, and disciplinary. ELEANOR ARGULA, All one h tindred sixty-six 163 LITERARY Los Aegeles High School === Year The lulling drone of the class room and the balmy spring weather must have carried my mind far from the matters at hand. At any rate amid this soothing environment, I sank into a peaceful lethargy while around me a startling change took place. Slowly the room spun and dissolved — then cleared again. What a change! My none-too-soft seat had given way to a luxuriously upholstered chair, which turned out to be one of a large group placed around a huge hall at widely spaced intervals. With a feverish attempt to appear unobtrusive — incidentally the attempt was a perfect fiasco — I tried to make the most of my unique transition into the future. Suddenly, the absence of a hitherto heard-but-not-heeded voice brought me to the realization that I had missed completely a lecture just given by an orator who was even then leaving the rostrum. In my bewildered squirming, I must have tripped on an unseen switch, for instantly my troubles were solved by the nasal tones of the erstwhile orator, issuing from an earphone near my head; and closer examination dis- closed a miniature dictaphone concealed in the arm of the chair. Finding another projection at my side, I cautiously pressed it. As a reward for this meritorious deed, I was promptly slapped back into my seat by a simplified relative of a typewriter which swung violently into position in front of me. Arousing myself slightly and prompted by the dictaphone, I lazily tapped out a few notes on L. A. High — Year 1935 and finished by maliciously adding a few unpleasantries of 1935. At this point, a snap ! drew my attention to a small compressed air chute at my side and removing the message tube from the rack I found a message from one of the other students with whom the other half of my dual personality was evidently acquainted. While attempting to think of a suitable answer for the question I had re- ceived, I was saved from an embarrassing moment by a brilliant light flashing on a screen proclaiming that the period was over and announcing that athletic events were next on the day ' s program. May I state here that the students lolled in the same room most of the day with speakers and lecturers dashing in and out from period to period. By now my interest was thoroughly fired, so I rushed from the room into the hall; whereupon my feet were promptly swept from their normal point of traction while the rest of my body sympathized with the action of crashing violently down upon the moving horizontal escalator that had been my undoing. Recovering my widely spread anatomy from its recumbent position, I discovered that I was being whisked in the general direction of what I had known as Housh Field. Imagine my amazement, however, to find the field replaced by a gigantic gymnasium filled with strange and somehow ominous looking machines. My curiosity about these machines was soon sat- isfied as I saw students involve themselves with mechanisms which artificially ex- ercised every muscle in the body. Here, however, my inherent ability to evade manual labor, which no resident of the year 2000 could possibly have equalled, came forward; and as I spied an exit nearby. I promptly eased through it. Before me now, was another door which was evidently the entrance to the art department. In place of the old drawing tables in this room, I found strange easels composed of two panels. And in addition to the usual pencil rack, there was a curious ar- rangement of tiny rubber tubes, supplemented by equally tiny silver nozzles. A slight pressure on the side of one of these nozzles released a fine mist of colored pigment in a smooth brushless operation. With masterful inspiration, I proceeded to cover the easel with a beautiful array of tit-tat-toe marks. This indeed was the life! As this period drew to a close, the lighted screen announced an assembly. Ah! this evidently was an opportunity not to be missed. Ambling lazily into the hall, I slithered upon the movable belt which had the most non-walking pedestrians upon it; and arriving at the assembly hall, I found a comfortable padded seat. With a satisfied smirk, I settled back in my seat. Boy! if the gang could only see me now! Bob ! Between the stage and my eyes, a face hazily took form — an old familiar face, in fact, a teacher ' s face, 1935 style. Mr. Dieckmann, will you please explain the fundamental idea of this theory? Huh? — er — whatsat? I muttered feebly. My mind spun back through the years and ended with a thump in my old class room, also 1935 style. My inquisitor broke in again. Not paying attention — eh? Fill that out. A yellow slip; the most horrible of the 1935 styles, fluttered past. Gone were my dreams of the future. Gone were my triumphal achievements. All gone. With a feeble groan I reached for mv fountain pen. BOB DIECKMANN, A12 one hundred sixty-seven 193 BLUE AND WHITE Liffe 9 § Caleodair As each drop of water drips from high. So drip the minutes of a life; Slowly, surely, everlastingly, unnoticed. Minutes, minutes, minutes, minutes.

As nature casts aside the browned Autumn leaves, So the days are flung away in life; Wasted, squandered, unused. Days, days, days, days.

The ideal of the Girls ' Athletic Association is true sportsmanship, co-operation and loyalty; it opens the way for finer friendships among the girls them- selves. Their interest in athletics develops keener mental facilities as well as physical health. The executive authority of this organization rests in its Cabinet. The latter is composed of the heads of the various G. A. A. clubs and activities. They are the chosen leaders of the girls ' athletic division of the Los Angeles High School. The sports that they represent have been organized into various clubs with friend- ship as their common goal. The Cabinet plans for the various events held during the semester. The most important of these is the Playday. Several senior high schools are invited, with teams representing the various girls ' athletic sports. After the games are played, the school acting as host, serves refreshments to the participants and intro- duces the officers; then there is a dance in the gymnasium. The girls who are eligible for Playday must practice three afternoons a week. There are also regular class teams; and a girl who makes any of these teams in her grade earns 100 points toward her L. A. Letter. The enthusiasm that these girls show for this organization has made it into one of the finest Girls ' Athletic Associations in the city. The members are: Isobel Miles, head of archery; Kathryn Haisman, head of base- ball; Dorothy Avery, president of L. A.

ArAerj Climb Head of Archery : Isobel Miles Secretary: Ada Walsh Sponsor: Miss Richards Three hundred years ago when public education was first introduced in the Ameri- can colonies the bow and arrow were used to secure food and to protect lives and property. The Colonists, seeking religious freedom, in a new and unexplored land, had to depend on their weapons for defense. With the aid of these and superior intelligence, they were able to meet and overcome many every day dangers. When other weapons were found to be more practical than the bow and arrow, archery was, for the time, almost forgotten. Now, however, its great value as a recreational activity is recognized, and today archery is one of the most challenging of sports. It reigns as one of the most popular forms of activity among the girls of the Los Angeles High School. It is an out-of-door, all season sport, which may be enjoyed by many who cannot participate in more strenuous activities. It develops precision, an eye for marksmanship, improves posture, and helps greatly to increase poise and grace. The members of this club are striving for proper development in the technique of correct shooting. By learning this sport in high school, the girls are preparing themselves with an athletic activity that will interest them all their lives. Through friendly competition among themselves and with the members of other high schools on playdays. the members of the Archery Club develop a keen sense of true sportsmanship and fair play. The club members earn their pins through competition with each other. The pins are awarded twice a sem- ester. The first award is a gold arrow; the second, a silver, and the third, a bronze arrow. The club meets every Thursday afternoon in order to practice for the playdays when the girls are able to demonstrate their skill in archery. The members are: Dorothy Catlett, Ruth Closterman, Thirza Cole, Betty Fermin, Maxine Frankel, Edith Goldsworthy, Virginia Hunt, Marjory McClay, Isobel Miles, Ottelis Rains, Eleanor Thorson, Ada Walsh. one hundred seventy-five 193 BLUE AND WHITE Left to right.

Dorothy Albright One of the greatest benefits that we have received through the progress of public education in America is in the increased opportunity for physical training and develop- ment. Swimming is no doubt one of the finest of the athletic activities taught in our schools today. The Life-Saving Club, which is made up of girls who are especially proficient in swimming, is fast becoming one of the most popular organizations of the school. Through excellent instruction in life-saving, the members are taught how to act in an emergency, as well as how to improve form and speed in swimming. This club is now organized as a physical education class, meeting five times a week and practicing once a week after school. This enables the members to fill the required hours of instruction and practice in order to pass the American Red Cross Junior and Senior Life-Saving tests. To pass these, a girl must know how to use artificial respiration correctly, as well as five ways in which to rescue a drowning person. The necessity of knowing how to act in an emergency is becoming more and more apparent each year; and by teaching methods of life-saving in school, the number of deaths caused by drowning will be greatly decreased. To be eligible for this club, each girl must fulfill the G. A. A. requirements and be able to pass the swimmers ' test. The girls who make the swimming team each semester represent Los Angeles High School on playdays with other senior high schools. Swimming is an activity that may be enjoyed all through life, and it is excellent exercise as it uses all the large muscles of the body and developes grace and poise. Swimming teaches good sportsmanship and higher group ideals.

Riie Cldb President: Jean McCarn Secretary: Dorothy Slaughter Sponsor: Miss Rogers During the early years of public education in America, imported weapons were used almost exclusively. The match lock and flint lock small arms were used until the Revo- lutionary period; however, the first American rifle was invented in 1732. This was a crude copy of a German style and very difficult to load; nevertheless, it was very effective. The Springfield rifle, finally adopted by the United States Navy, is con- sidered the best made now. It is used in the Rifle Club at Los Angeles High School. Rifle shooting was established because of its many advantages. It develops self control and accuracy, both valuable assets for any girl to cultivate. This club has a two-fold purpose; the girls aim not only at targets but at the finer art of making friends. A great many girls have been disappointed at the tryouts, as only thirteen were admitted; and over fifty tried their skill at this interesting sport. Most of the girls who contested have never handled a gun before, and it is interesting to note that the highest scores were forty-one and forty-two out of a possible fifty. This is ranking in the sharpshooter class. The pins awarded to the members are sent by the National Rifle Association of which this club is a branch. Sergeant Lawson helps the girls with the technical part of their shooting; his instruction is given in a friendly manner. Miss Rogers is an able sponsor and an equally important factor of the organization.

This game, as it is played now, was introduced in 1873. Since tennis was organized into a club at Los Angeles High School, there has been a great deal of improvement in the development of technique. A certain precision and accuracy are now required in this game, which enables the players to derive both physical and mental benefits. Competition teaches the girls good sportsmanship and higher ideals. Tennis is one of the finest athletic sports for women because it is one of the few games that is carried over after graduation. Proficiency gained during a high school career is valuable throughout the player ' s life time. It is beneficial both as a recrea- tional sport and as an aid in the maintenance of proper physical condition. This club meets every week on the school courts. The girls spend their leisure time practicing for the two outstanding events of the term, an inter-club singles tournament, and an inter-club doubles tournament. The girls are chosen for their scholastic records as well as for their ability as tennis players.

M i m BLUE AND WHITE Varsity Roster BOB BEESON: This is Bob ' s second and last year on the varsity. He is a good outfielder, possesses a fine throwing arm, and is a driving hitter. His ability to play either infield or outfield made him a very useful player. FRED FUSS: During Fred ' s two years at the position of shortstop, he has earned an enviable record for himself and the team. His defensive play, featuring a good arm and fine choice of play, made him a valuable performer. ED MALJAN: After playing last season in the outfield, Ed found himself playing third base. In addition to being a smart fielder and a very dependable lead-off man, Ed possessed one of the best batting averages in the city. He will be back another year. HOLLIS LINDSTROM: Hollis came up from last year ' s second team to become one of Rome ' s most dan- gerous hitters. His good outfield play, including a good throw from the field, will be missed next year. PHIL ZONNE: Lanky Phil Zonne, the southpaw twirler. during the last two years, has proved to be one of L. A. ' s most effective pitchers. Phil ' s pitching and batting, as well as his pep and team spirit, made him a valuable member of the team. GARLAND PRATTE: Although this was Garland ' s first year on the varsity, he soon earned the respect of opposing batters. His baffling curves and smoke balls made him a real asset to the team. JACK BOMKE: As a pitcher, Jack worked his way up to the varsity from the second team and made good. His ability to come through in the pinches with a good curve ball made him a reliable and necessary addition to this year ' s pitching staff. ROY HOUSE: This is Roy ' s third year as varsity. He is one of the few three year lettermen. His baseball experience and bullet arm have helped L. A. out of many a critical situation. ART HELLER: ,_ „ , „,.. , Coming up from last year ' s tenth grade team, Art proved to be Coach White s answer for a new first baseman. His smart play and reliable hitting have prepared for him a welcome return for next year ' s team. FORREST MacDONALD: . Mac is another from last year ' s second team. Formerly playing outfield, he was revamped into a second baseman this season. His fighting spirit and greatly improved performance at bat were features of his play. MITSUO FUKUYAMA: For the past two seasons, Mits has been doing some flashy work around the second sack. In addition to his fielding and throwing, Mits is remembered as a long distance hitter. ESAU THUN: s , . it _ ... ,, This is Esau ' s first year on the varsity. He is a fly-hawk de luxe in the outtield, a dangerous batter, and Rome ' s best stealer. We are fortunate that he will return an- other vear. GORDON STEPHENS: , Gordie is another versatile infielder capable of playing second or third base equallj well. Although handicapped in the early part of the season with a bad hand, he came back to play a fine brand of ball. BILL THOMPSON: Owing to Bill ' s ability as a sprinter on the track team, he was a threat every time he came to bat. Besides showing hitting ability, Bill covered the outfield beyond criticism. This is his last season of play. ED GARNIER: , . Ed ' s all around play has made him a standout during the seasons play. As clever judge of fly balls in the outfield, he possesses a strong arm: and at bat, he is L. A. s hardest hitter. With this year ' s play, he becomes a three year letterman in baseball. CARL SLATTEBO: , , ., Carl ' s tireless, conscientious and thorough work as head manager has been greatly appreciated by Coach White and members of the team. He is a real hustler, and his willingness to work and co-operate is admirable. He has able assistants in Luther Olmon. Myron Sutton. Milton Goldberg, and Merrett Grimes. one hundred eighty-four 163 ATHLETICS ■ Gamier knocks out a triple against Hollyicood Baseball— 1935 With five returning lettermen and plenty of reserve strength from last year ' s squads, Coach Herbert White had high hopes for a successful season. In the first league contest of the 1935 season, the Pioneers trampled over a seemingly weak Federalists ' nine, to the tune of 8 to 3. Combining three hits with three walks and three Hamilton errors, Rome pushed over five runs in the second inning practically to set up the contest. Zonne was credited with the victory, hurling the full seven innings and allowing nine hits but keeping them well scattered. Maljan featured the attack with a home run and a single. Gamier gathered a triple and a single, with Beeson hammering out two singles. Lindstrom, Fuss, and MacDonald were each credited with a single. The second league game found L. A. the victor over Venice by a score of S to 6. Trailing 6 to 4 going into the last half of the sixth inning, L. A. bunched three hits to drive over four runs and establish a lead which the boys maintained for the restj of the game. Pitching duties were divided between Zonne and Bomke. Bomke re- lieved Zonne during the sixth inning rally by Venice, to pitch shut out ball and be credited with the win. Bill Thompson, a pinch hitter, started the rally with a circuit clout into the center field bleachers. Fuss led the hitters with two hits out of three trips to the plate. Maljan and Lindstrom collected one hit out of three chances; Gamier one for two; Fukuyama, and Thompson one for one. Traveling to Hollywood for the next league encounter, the Roman nine accomp- HeUer snatis a wide one to make a Venice put-out one hundred eighty-five 193 BLUE AND WHITE House stops Hollywood man at home lished what L. A. teams for the past two years have heen unable to do. A steady barrage of hits and runs commencing in the fifth canto, soon overcame the 3 to 2 lead that the Sheiks had set up in the third inning. Jack Bomke, who started on the mound for Rome, soon ran into trouble and was relieved by Garland Pratte, who shut out the Filmlanders for the remaining four innings and allowed only three hits The leading hitters were Lindstrom and Thompson, each garnering two hits. Fuss Gamier. House, MacDonald, Fukuyama, and Pratte, all received one blow apiece. The next league game saw Coach White ' s chances for a championship dimmed when the Fremont Pathfinders defeated his Roman nine 10 to 3. L. A. suffered a complete collapse which saw the fielding, hitting, and particularly the pitching experiencing a decided let-down. In the fifth inning, the Pathfinders sewed up the contest with a seven-run rally, which required the services of three L. A. pitchers to retire the side. L. A. hits were gathered by Maljan 2 for 3; Gamier 2 for 4; Thun 1 for 1; Heller 1 for 2, and Beeson 1 for 3. Staging a gallant comeback after the disastrous Fremont game, the Roman nine defeated the Washington Generals 10 to 5 in a torrid ten-inning battle on the latter ' s diamond. The contest featured extra inning rallies by both teams. After Rome had tied score in the sixth inning and both teams had gone scoreless in the seventh, the eighth and ninth innings found each team scoring three runs to leave the score knotted. In the tenth inning, the Roman sluggers won the game in quick order with six hits and five runs. Bomke pitched the first five innings in good fashion allowing only three hits; but he was removed in favor of a pinch hitter. Zonne then took up the mound duties and finished the game, being touched for three hits and three runs. Three hits were garnered by Maljan and Thun, two by Heller, and Gamier, Mac- Donald, and Zonne. While House, Fukuyama, and Stephens, each contributed one hit. one hundred eighty-six Maijan makes a Fremont put-out at third 163 ATHLETICS Zonne in action against Venice The Roman varsity baseballers registered their fifth win of the season in de- feating an over rated Hamilton nine on Housh field by a score of 10 to 3. In winning two straight from the Yankees, Rome uncorked a powerful batting attack, pounding out 14 hits. While L. A. ' s offensive game was evidently on par, five errors were chalked up by the Roman nine definitely to show L. A. ' s weakness in the f ield which has hounded them in the last few games. Garland Pratte, the fair haired speedster, limited the Federalists to six hits and two runs in five innings while Zonne, who relieved him, was touched for one hit and one run. The Roman batters were Maljan 2 for 3; Gamier, Fuss, Heller, and House 2 for 4, one of House ' s hits being a home run. Thompson, Beeson, Pratte, and Thun, also received one hit apiece. Actually proving its own nemesis, the Roman varsity ball club met its second defeat of the season, 4 to 2, at the hands of the powerful Fairfax Colonials on Van Cleve field. The loss was attributed to the shabby defensive work of the Pioneers. Fairfax scored two runs in the first inning, one in the second and one in the fourth. L. A. picked up one run in the second on a double by Lindstrom and one in the seventh on a double by Fukuyama. Of the runs scored by Fairfax, only one was really earned; mis-cues were responsible for the others. Jack Bomke started on the mound for Rome, but was relieved ' by Zonne in the third inning. Each team garnered six hits. Hitting honors went to Lindstrom with 2 for 3, Maljan, Garnier, Thun, and Fukuyama, each gathered one hit. Losing whatever chance it had for the championship, Rome dropped a hard luck 5 to 4 tilt to Venice on the Gondolier ' s diamond. Going into the last half of the seventh Fukuyama bangs out a single against Venice one hundred eighty-seven 1935 BLUE AND WHITE Pratte burning over a fast one inning with a 4 to 2 lead, which should have been enough to give L. A. her sixth victory of the season, Rome saw three straight smashes by the Venetians tie the count and force the game into extra innings. At this point, Pratte went in for Zonne and took over the pitching chores. L. A. rallied in the eighth inning and filled the bases, but the rally was cut short when House forced Fuss at second base. Venice then came back to win on a hit batsman, a walk, a hit, and an outfield fly which went for an error allowing the winning run to score from third base. Maljan, Thun, Beeson, Fukuyama, Heller, Stephens, and House each received one hit. Losing their third straight game, Rome bowed to an inferior Hollywood nine on Housh Field. Both teams got four hits, but a single, a fielders choice, an error and a sacrifice bunt scored the only run of the ball game for Hollywood. Succumbing for the second time this season to a last inning rally, the Roman varsity ball club lost to the Fremont varsity nine 3-2, and thus crowned the Path- finders as the undisputed champs of the western league. Coming out of their hibernation, the Roman varsity baseball nine finally broke their losing streak by overcoming their seventh inning complex to subdue the second place Fairfax Colonials to the tune of 5 to 3. Getting down to business, the L. A. varsity pounded out seven hard hits off Jack La Grass, Colonial twirler, who recently pitched a no hit game against Fremont; and also completing three fast double plays to kill any Fairfax rallies. At the beginning of the fifth inning, Roy House, doubled into the left field bleachers; Phil Zonne walked. Ed Maljan was safe on a sacrifice bunt when the first baseman failed to cover the initial sack, thus filling the bases. Hollis Linstrom, pinch hitting for Thun, hit a grounder to the first baseman who caught House at home. Mistsuo Fukuyama followed with a hit down the first base line, which tallied two runs. Again in the sixth inning, Hewe tallied when Mac Donald singled to center, he was sacrificed to second by Beeson and was scored on the third baseman ' s error of Helbur ' s grounder. Helbur stole to second and scored on Zonne ' s single to center. Zonne was then scored on a double by Turk Maljan. Entering the last half of the seventh inning with a 5 to lead, Zonne allowed Fairfax their fourth hit of the ball game; and Hewe made three errors to give Fairfax three runs ending the game. Roman batters were: Maljan 2 for 4; Fukuyama 1 for 3; Mac Donald 1 for 3; Beeson 1 for 2; House 1 for 3, and Zonne 1 for 1. Grabbing third position in the final league standings, Rome culminated its 1935 baseball season by winning 4 to 3 from the Washington Generals on Housh Field. Had Washington won this combat, she would have finished with Rome in a tie for third place. Rome ' s seventh inning complex was also evident in this game, and Rome went about making errors and allowing the Generals two runs. Thus, a 4 to 1 lead at the beginning of the seventh, barely proved enough to win 4 to 3. Rome ' s bombard- ment started in the third inning when walks by House and Thun, hits by Maljan and Linstrom, aided by an error and two wild pitches, accounted for L. A. ' s first three runs. Rome picked up the run that proved the margin of victory in the sixth inning when Beeson doubled and scored on the third baseman ' s wild heave to first, after fielding Helbers ' roller. Washington got its first tally on two singles and an error in the third inning. Four Roman errors in the last inning gave Washington two un- earned runs and almost the ball game. one hundred eighty-eight 163 ATHLETICS Teeth Grade Baseball This year, the tenth grade baseball nine was forced to play in the second team varsity league because of the lack of tenth grade teams. However, this was an asset to the players as it enabled them to gain valuable playing experience by coming up against more experienced teams. The first two league games found the Roman under- graders losing both in last inning because of their inexperience; Fairfax and Holly- wood were the victors. After the Hollywood tilt, the L. A. scrubs really began to hit their stride. Better pitching, combined with sure fielding and heavy hitting, enabled Rome to win the next two. Washington was shut out with three hits, and Fremont was buried under a steady bombardment of base hits. Bill Marshall, pitcher, after an unsteady start, found himself and pitched excellent ball for the rest of the season. Dick Sandahl. catcher, was drafted from the outfield after Dan Kelly was lost for the season because of an injury in the Fairfax game. Packer, pitcher, and Mills, catcher, made a good relief battery. The infield, composed of Yamaka, Joyce, Broughton, and Kobo, proved to be a hard working unit, and were kept on their toes every minute by the fine work of utility infielder Seaman, who could play infield position well. Glass, Murphy, Leppla, Wallace, Rosecrans, formed a hard hitting outfield who were all fly chasers de luxe. Rosenbaum was utility outfielder. Much credit is due Harold Stephens for the commendable manner in which he coached. His spirit and enthusiasm were truly instrumental to the development and success of his team. The last game of the season found the Romans tangling with Venice on the latter ' s diamond. Marshall, pitcher, was a victim of the flu; and Sandahl, catcher, was forced to pitch the final game. The tenth grades proved that handicaps mean nothing to them by bombarding the Venetian hurlers for a 7-2 victory. This proved to be a fairly successful season, and much is expected of this year ' s team. Letters were awarded to the following: Joyce. Broughton, Kobo, Glass, Marshall, Sandahl, Yamaha, Murphy, Leppla, and Rosecrans.

He will not be easily replaced. JACK BANTA, a senior, showed considerable improvement over his efforts of last year, and seldom failed to place high in the shot. He set a new school record of 50 feet 9 3-4 inches. JIM BRADLEY, a twelfth grader, always ran a steady quarter, and was one of the finest competitors on the team. He graduates in W ' 36. JOHN BUTLER, a recruit from the cross-country ranks, was always up among the first three in the mile. He returns next year. JIM LYTLE, a senior B, ran the hurdles for the lightweight team up until the last two meets, when he entered the varsity ranks and came through in fine style. STAN CHARLESTON, although not first in his event, was always up there winning points in the broad jump. He does not return. JIM DAVIS, an eleventh grader, was a fine competitor and an able running mate for Avery in the 880. He will be a welcome member of the team next year. HENRY EARL, a converted half miler, proved his worth to the team by running several fine quarters. He returns next year to strengthen the squad. PHIL GASPAR could always be depended upon to come through in the shot. He smashed the school record several times. Phil will not be replaced in a hurry. JOE HADFIELD, as a senior, developed into a dependable high jumper. He scaled 6 feet more than once. He will be missed next season. WENDELL SCOTT, a tenth grader, was one who showed a great deal of improve- ment, and was a tough miler to beat. Next year, he should take his place with the city ' s best. DICK SIMPSON has shown himself as an able competitor. With another year of competition, he should be one of the best in the hurdlers ' ranks. BILL THOMPSON, in coming out for track as well as for baseball, proved to be an excellent aid to the team in the sprints and the relay. He graduates this term. PAT TURNER was one of the finest broad jumpers in the city. He consistently jumped over 22 feet, and next year, as a senior, should be in a class all his own. TED HOGANS, a fine timber-topper, could always be counted on for points in his events. In the Fairfax meet, he set a new school record of 15.7 sec. in the high hurdles. He does not return. GLEN KELLER returned from last year ' s team to brighten hopes in the high jump considerably. Glen always managed to make points. Next year ' s squad will miss him. JIM KELLEY, who in his last year decided to take up hurdling, showed steady improvement and proved to he one of the finest in his event. BOB LEAMAN, a class B sprinter last year, developed into a splendid quarter- miler and seldom failed to garner points in his event. He will not be back. CARL McBAIN, up from last year ' s B ranks, blossomed out into an excellent hurdler in both the highs and the lows. He does not return. IVAN McWHINNEY, in his second year of varsity competition, performed in the short sprints. He will be with us again. De MOTT MODISETTE, a newcomer, was a welcome addition to the team, as he could always be counted on to run a fine 440. He has one more year. KEITH MONROE, pole-vaulter of the squad, was a consistent performer throughout the season and helped his team ' s chances considerably. He graduates. SID HAYES, as an eleventh grader, showed great promise for the future in the pole vault. He returns to strengthen next year ' s team. LAURENCE ROTH, the third member of the shot-putting trio, was a returning letterman and kept up his fine work this year. He is a senior. „ „«„,„ one hundred ninety-three 193 BLUE AND WHITE Pat Turner executes a beautiful jump to cop his event City Relays The Romans did not fare so well as had been expected in division one of the city relay carnival; but nevertheless they managed to make a creditable showing. In the tour-man 480-yard shuttle hurdles relay, L. A. ' s strong combination of Hogans, Simpson. Kelley. and McBain de- feated Jefferson, Hollywood, and Manual Arts in that order, setting a new carnival record of 55 seconds. The Pioneers experienced a great disappointment in the eight-man mile as our octet was disqualified after running a fine race and placing second in the event. L. A. ' s quartet of half-milers, Avery, Davis, Earl, and Kravetz ran into a bit of stiff competition in the four-man two-mile; and although they put up a stiff battle, they had to be satisfied with third place. Considerable strength was shown in the shot by Phil Gaspar and Jack Banta, who went home the proud possesors of third and fourth place medals, respectively. Charleston and Turner Avery and Earl one hundred ninety-four Rome ' s class B four-man 660 sprint relay team, com- posed of Lytle, Harpole, Hoi- sch, and Treadwell, showed great class in placing second to Jefferson, who won in the fast time of lm. 8,8s., a new record. Jones succeeded in winning third place in the class B shot put; and Grant tied for second in the high jump, to bring an end to L. A. ' s scoring for the day. Team honors for the day were captured by Holly- wood High. The Redshirts won the four-man two-mile in 8:25.9s, finishing ahead of Fairfax. Los Angeles, Jefferson, and Manual Arts, in that order. They annexed the eight- man mile in 3; 04.2s; and they placed second to L .A. in the four-man 480-yard shuttle hurdle relay. Belmont, Roosevelt, and Washington divided honors in Division Two while Divisions Three and Four were won by Van Nuys and Torrance, respectively. New meet records were established in the four-man two-mile in both Divisions 3 and 4; in the four-man SSO by Van Nuys in Division 3; and in the low hurdles shuttle relay in Divisions 1 and 2. 163 ATHLETICS 5l Glen Keller soaring over the crossbar in the high jump Los Angeles vs Polytedhimie Los Angeles High ' s powerful track and field team opened the dual meet season against Polytechnic; the hoys proceeded to crush their arch-rivals to the tune of 89 2-3 to 14 1-3. The Romans were as thorough as possible in their victory, making clean sweeps in no less than six events as well as winning four others and tying for first in the high jump. The combined efforts of the stalwart sons of Poly could produce no more than one first and a tie for first; one second, and two third places. Everything taken into consideration, it was a very disastrous afternoon for Poly ' s track forces. Turner ' s effort of 22 feet 4 1-2 inches in the broad jump, Hatfield ' s leap of C feet 11-2 inches in the high jump; Earle ' s 52.1 seconds in the 440, and Monroe ' s vault of 11 feet 6 inches, all contributed to a bright outlook for the future success of the team.

The feature of the meet was the relay, which ended in a dead heat, but the Romans were dis- qualified for over-running the space allowed for passing the baton. Pat Turner, in winning the broad jump, turned in an excellent mark of 22 feet 6 1-4 inches. He was fol- lowed by his team mates Charleston end Scheibe_ Keller continued his fine work in the high jump by leaping 6 feet, 1 inch to cop the event. Next week, L. A. tangles with her strongest Western League rival, Hollywood, in what promises to be the feature meet of the season. Leaman and Bradley Summary: 100-vard dash— 1. Blake (B), 2.

Kelley and McBain one hundred ninety-seven 193 BLUE AND WHITE Modisette Lytlr Monroe Hayes Davis Butler Lo§ Aegeles v§ 3 Hollywood The Romans scored their major Western League dual meet victory of the season by taking on the highly-touted Sheiks from Hollywood and thoroughly thumping them by the overwhelming score of 70 to 34. Rome ' s warriors upset the dope sheet in every event and left the poor bewildered Arabs wondering what had happened to their supposedly powerful team. The first surprise came in the 100-yard dash when McWhinney tied for first with Womack of Hollywood, who was the favorite in the event. A little later in the day, Modisette, who had never before run a 440 against competition, grabbed first place over his teammate, Earle, in the fast time of 51.6s. The biggest thrill of the day for Roman admirers was furnished by Jack Banta, who tossed the 12-pound shot 50 feet 9 3-4 inches, for a new school record. To add insult to injury, L. A. ' s hurdlers then made clean sweeps in both hurdles. Hogans won the highs in 16s. flat while Lytle captured the lows in 25.9s. Turner took the broad jump with a leap of 22 feet S inches; Keller copped first place in the high jump by clearing 5 feet 11 1-2 inches. Monroe captured the pole vault with a fine vault of 12 feet: and Butler, although third in the mile, ran his finest race of the season. Credit must be given to Graves of Hollywood, who won the half-mile in the excellent time of 1:58.7s. At this time, it is fitting that we voice our sincere thanks to Coaches Graves, La- Brucherie, Chambers, and Brown, whose untiring efforts this season have given to L. A. High the Western League dual meet champions and a team that is a dangerous contender for the City title. Summary: 100-yard dash — 1. Tie, McWhinnev (L.A.). Womack (H), 3. Henry (H).

The sprints were fortified by the presence of Treadwell, Hoisch, Harpole, and Carp. Treadwell was capable of 10.3 seconds in the 100-yard dash. Dekema and Tow put on many a heated duel in the 660, and were always followed closely by Schwartz and Altshuler. The 1320, one of the most gruell- ing races, was excellently taken care of by Randol, Mathews, Jamieson, vander Bie, Walker, and Gibbs. The hurdles were two of L. A. ' s strongest events. In the lows, Lytle, Zuckerman, Gillette, Jones, and Cromwell, were mighty hard to beat. In the highs, Lytle and Pfeiffer were outstanding, with Gehrie and Caveney right behind them. The field events, like the track events, were well supported by several consistently good athletes. In the broad jump, Johnson usually managed to leap just a little farther than the rest; but Hoisch and Stammer always gave him a hard battle. Opposing teams usually found our high jumping quartet too difficult to defeat. Grant was capable of 5 feet 9 inches while Conant and Downey succeeded in scaling well over 5 feet. The shot put was well handled by Jones, Frazier and Melim. Jones and Frazier put the iron pellet out beyond the 46 foot mark. The pole-vault was also a strong event for the Romans. Peterson, Brown, and Steckel usually fought it out for first place while Petersmeyer and Manwaring contributed their share of points to t he team ' s total. The four-man 660 relay team, composed of Lytle, Hoisch, Harpole, and Tread- well, showed much speed and proved to be a new record combination. one hundred ninety-nine 193 BLUE AND WHITE Left to right.

Class C Track Although the class C track and field team did not fare as well as did the varsity and class B squads, several promising prospects tor future varsity material were uncovered during the season. Ainsee was the sole sprinter to uphold Rome ' s honor in the short dashes. Be- cause of the small number of fellows who turned out for C track, no prospective hurdlers were discovered. The 660, the longest class C race, was quite strongly represented by Martinez, Recabaren, King, and Squire. Three promising leapers showed to good ad- vantage in the high jump; Chan, Long, and Thompson all were capable of 5 feet or better. In the pole-vault, Bonness, a returning letterman, usually out-vaulted his team mates, Winkler and Yamazaki, who showed improvement as the season pro- gressed. Hale, was our outstanding class C broad jumper, and was capable of 18 feet. The shot was tossed about with ease by Schwartz and Yamazaki. The relay team consisted of Rubin, Hale, Recabaren, and Ainslie. two hundred 163 TENNIS GYM CLUB AQUATIC SPORTS GOLF BLUE AND WHITE Left to right.

Teimeis Team At the time this went to press, Coach Crumly ' s L. A. varsity tennis team was well on its way to a third consecutive city title, and an even chance to win the Southern California championships again. In the last three years, our team has played about 90 league matches and has only lost one, which was in 1933. This is an all time record for tennis at L. A. and will not be equalled by this school or any other for many years. L. A. has gained a reputation of producing as a whole the best tennis teams in Southern California. The team was not quite as strong as last year ' s but was much more balanced. The season ' s height was reached when the strong Fairfax team was beaten 13-12 in a long, exciting, over-time match. The fourth singles in this match was delayed a few days because of darkness before the match was finished; but when played, Allen Bunt defeated the Fairfax man in an easy fashion, thus clinching the title. Captain Lawrence Nelson, George Toley, Bob Fleischer, Allen Bunt, and Sherwood Armstrong, in that order, played singles in the majority of the contests but are all lost next year because of graduation. James Seaver and Kristo Sugich played very well in first doubles, with Sugich graduating this year. Bob French and an odd singles man made up second doubles and will be here next season. Buese, Bartlett, Williams, and Beach were alternates. The teams were ably coached by Mr. Crumly and managed by Gordon Nelson. There are many tenth and eleventh graders coming up who will strengthen future teams, and assure us of a powerful squad next year. two hundred tun 163 ATHLETICS. Left to right.

Gym Gleb Under the guidance of Coach Al Hemsath, the gym team has shown much im- provement since last year; and we are looking forward to a championship team next season. The backbone of the gym team, Captain Bruce, has one more year of competition in which to bolster up L. A. ' s hopes of a strong squad. Lettermen of the year ' s team are: Bob Bruce, horizontal bar, rope, rings, parallel bars; Verne Greeding, rings, tumbling; Dick Montgomery, side horse; Thayer Crispin, free exercise, long horse; Mark Jelmeland, parallel bars; Hassagawa, rope; George Tiernan, tumbling; Al Marques, free exercise. This year ' s team was managed by Bob Bates. The Gym Club, because it is one activity in which the proper co-ordination of mind and muscle is a vital necessity, should be exceedingly popular. Perfect control and balance are the main requirements. Because of the splendid variety of events offered, every boy who is willing to work hard has an excellent chance to develop a finer physique. A beginners ' class is established for those boys who are less proficient. Training there enables many boys to learn the exercises which they could not have mastered in the advanced class. The advanced class holds meets with the different city schools, and the standing of the boys in these events gives them points toward an athletic letter. As the students in the beginners ' class reach a certain stage of perfection, they progress to the advanced class and perform in the city meets. Thus more boys are enabled to participate in the club, and the team becomes more pro- ficient. tiro hunrlml three 193 BLUE AND WHITE Left to right.

Varsity Svyimenieg Team Los Angeles has a reputation for good swimming teams each year; and this season the members have kept well in this class. Although not quite of championship calibre, L. A. will be right up on top in dual meets. The city title will probably go to the Romans, but the Southern Calfornia will see Fullerton and Long Beach with an edge. In all the aquatic aggregations this year, this advantage lies in the team strength and not in a few exceptional individuals. Outstanding men are Moe in the 220, who has broken the school record a couple of times; Goldthwaite, swimming the free style has approached the school record in practice; Kollenborn and Gifford are two of the best divers in many years and will probably place one and two in the Southern California meet. Back stroker Arthur Garrett is the best in this event since Bob Clark, who as Captain of Stanford Univer- sity team took 22 seconds off the inter-collegiate medley. Coach Crumly deserves much credit for bringing the team into shape and has ably assisted the members of the team. Fred Koebig was manager. tuo hundred four 163 ATHLETICS Left to right.

Proving their ability, the boys defeated Fullerton in a massacre 59-5. The individual stars are in the other schools; but when it comes to dual meets, the team ' s superiority as a whole is clearly shown. Bray, Hubbard, Siegal, and Fauman swam the free style; Reordon and Sparrow the breast stroke; Prince, Warfield, and Cozens the back stroke and were the important members of the team. Clemens is the coming champion in the diving and stands out as the best man in Southern California. Norris Houser is the manager.

Varsity Water Polo Rounding into shape very well, the water polo team completed a very successful season under the guidance of Coach Crumly. This year ' s team was very close to being the best in the history of the school. It earned this reputation by beating Long Beach two games, one here and the other at Long Beach ' s pool. Never having done this since L. A. has been playing water polo it is quite an accomplishment. The team finished second in the league, next to Pullerton, who was hard pressed by the Romans. L. A. lost to Fullerton twice, but defeated Long Beach, Inglewood, and Pasadena each two times. Woodrow Wilson was tied twice. Captain Jewel was sprint, Moore goalie, Crawley and Garrett guards, B. Norton centerback, and Hastings and Nowak alternating at one forward, completed the roster. The team had two members placed on the All-Southern California team; John Lamb at forward and Howard Taylor at guard. Clyde Meredith was manager.

Golf Team Los Angeles had a winning combination in its golf team this year. There were three returning lettermen: Hermann who closed his brilliant golfing career at L. A. with an undefeated record to date for the year, and Wingate and Porchia who were also undefeated and who would be of value to any high school team. The golf season started a few weeks earlier than usual this year. Qualifying rounds at Willowick Country Club, Brentwood Country Club, Wilshire Country Club, Rancho, and Sunset Fields offered outstanding tests of all around golfing ability for everyone. The squad of eight players was determined by the showings the boys made in these qualifying rounds. Tough opposition was encountered in practice matches when Rome met South Pasadena and Harvard. In Western league competition, L. A. whitewashed Venice, Roosevelt, and Hollywood and dropped only one half to Hamilton. These overwhelming victories helped instill confidence in the members of the team, and their continued success was expected. When this annual went to press, Los Angeles had but one hurdle to scale in order to capture the Western League championship. This barrier was Beverly Hills High, which had a very powerful outfit. However, if the Romans succeed in winning this match, they loom as formidable opponents to any team in Southern California. The team players rank in the following order: Bob Hermann, first man; Sid Hayes, second man; George Zimmerman, third man; Bob Wingate, fourth man; Louis Porchia, fifth man; L. B. Harbour, alternate; Val Montgomery and Jack Stapp. two hundred eight 163 ATHLETICS Dick Benjamin Jim Thickstun John Andrews Yell Leaders This year ' s yell leaders did very well in arousing school loyalty and enthusiasm in the baseball and track rallies. The track team was given very fine support for the Hollywood meet in an exceptionally good rally a few days before the event. As head yell leader, Jim Thickstun proved himself very capable for the second consecutive year; John Andrews and Dick Benjamin were his efficient assistants. These three made a good trio, and the school owes much of its success to their work this term. Contrary to general opinion, the yell leaders do more than lend merely a festive air to the occasion; they play an important part toward the success of the teams. With a co-operative audience, a good yell leader can contribute much toward a success- ful season by leading the crowd in enthusiastic support. This term, the boys on the track and baseball teams were stirred to greater efforts by the rallies and stunts promoted by our yell leaders. two hundred nine 193 I ■ Fi MILITARY % % it( i( mftw n mfi Honor School Review Hoinioir School Inspection Our Reserve Officers ' Training Corps was inspected this year on May first by Colonel A. B. Dockery. Of the two hundred and forty-two men in the unit, only two men were not present. In addition to the men in the R. O. T. C, there were in attendance members of the Board of Education, the entire Student Body, prominent guests and several former members of our R. O. T. C, all of whom now hold high offices at U. C. L. A. The presence of these young men and friends was indeed gratifying. Teachers and students of L. A. are certainly proud of their R. O. T. C. alumni. Immediately after the inspection of the uniform and rifle, each company put on a a certain phase of military training. Company A, with a personnel of seventy- two men and officers, displayed precise close order drill. The practical application of extended order was executed to perfection by B Company; and C Company, com- posed entirely of new recruits, demonstrated physical drill. All companies were com- mended on their superior knowledge and appearance. Following the demonstration of the company problems, the Battalion formed, and carried on with an alternate parade. No award for best lines was made because all lines were practically perfect as they passed the reviewing staff. After this alternate parade, the men were formed in theoretical groups according to their experience. First year men were examined in military courtesy, hygiene and first aid, and rifle marksmanship. Second year men were quizzed in scouting and patrol- ing and on the provisions of the National Defense Act. Third year cadets, this group including all officers, gathered around the sand table and were given the opportunity of telling Colonel Dockery all they knew about combat principles, musketry, and map reading. All groups performed well. Los Angeles High School ' s R. O. T. C. unit had won Honor School rating eight consecutive years. Last year, we did not achieve this distinction even though we were rated higher than in the preceding year. However, this year, the Battalion put on a most excellent appearance, and people interested in the welfare of the unit sincerely hope Los Angeles High will win Honor School rating again. two hundred eleven 193 BLUE AND WHITE Colonel Mudgett Sergeant Lawson Mr. Frederick Our Lead©ir§ Colonel Mudgett, a truly great man, is head of the Los Angeles High School Reserve Officers ' Training Corps. He has seen active service in the Spanish-American War, Philippine Insurrection, and the World War. In the battle of the Argonne, he was wounded and forced to return to the States. After his recovery, he came to our school as military instructor. He has served in that capacity for fifteen years; and during this time, the unit has held the distinction of being designated as an honor unit in the Ninth Corps Area for eight successive years. He has been a strong factor in the building of the character of those boys fortunate to have been associated with him. His interest in human problems, his true sense of honor in the highest degree, and his real belief in discipline have fitted him to be an understanding leader of boys. The highest tribute that could be given him, was paid by Cadet Captain Forbes Ripley when with his dying breath he said, Colonel Mudgett is a great man. Sergeant Lawson, also a member of the United States Army, is Colonel Mudgett ' s capable assistant. His duty is to assist with the theoretical work as well as the practical. He is a real friend to the fellows and is highly respected by them. Mr. Frederick, the band leader, has taken untrained boys, and created a great musical organization. The school can well be proud of his musical accomplishments. two hundred twelve 163 MILITARY ■■ ' : ' ■ ... • • P 1 A ■ • V Ir p m. m r • 1 - « fiRS D S Lc £ (o right.

Riffle Team The Rifle Team, coached by Sergeant James Lawson, distinguished itself this year as well as could be expected with so many new men. The team, participating in a match in which all R. O. T. C. units in the Ninth Corps Area competed, shot a score of 3363 out of a possible 4000 points. The team in this match consisted of fifteen men firing four positions: prone, sitting, kneeling, and standing. Ten rounds were fired in each position. The five men placing highest in the Ninth Corps Area Match were chosen to fire in the Hearst Trophy Match, in which R. O. T. C. units all over the United States entered contestants.. The five men selected for this match were Major Wayland Leonard, Lieutenant Robert Gayer, First Sergeants William Byrd, Raymond Clayton, and Corporal Edward Nett. Sergeant Lawson arranged several matches with neighboring units in which the team performed in a very satisfactory manner. This year, Colonel Mudgett awarded to the Rifle Team, ten medals on the basis of individual standings in the Ninth Corps Area Match. The men awarded medals are: gold, Lieutenant Robert Gayer, and First Sergeant William Byrd; silver, Major Wayland Leonard, Sergeant James Blumenkranz, First Sergeant Raymond Clayton; bronze, Private Clyde Meredith, Corporal Edward Nett, Sergeant Herbert Hayden, Sergeant Fred Nichols, and Private Robert Sherman. Sergeant Lawson has high hopes of coaching a record-breaking team next year. In order to have a record breaking team, however, the development of men who are physically and mentally stable is necessary. To hold a rifle on a target without moving a muscle, and then to squeeze the trigger at the proper moment, require of a man concentration and precision. Thus, we see that the Rifle Team is not a group formed merely for pleasure, but it is a truly beneficial organization. 193 two hundred thirteen BLUE AND WHITE j± Major Wayland T.
