No one can tell how much of what mankind holds most precious will be destroyed before the conflagration subsides, nor what remnants of foundations upon which to rebuild civilization and progress will remain. In this new situation, our first and most sacred task is to keep our country secure and at peace. Toward the accomplishment of that task, our Government is devoting every ounce of energy and vigilance. It is my firm belief that we will succeed in this endeavor. Yet, though we remain at peace, the kind of world we shall all live in must, of necessity, be of profound concern to our country and to every one of our citizens. l, for one, hold fast to the conviction that, however grave have been the errors of the recent decades, however much suffering and destruction may lie ahead in the immediate future, there is, in all nations, sufiicient strength of will and sufficient clarity of vision to enable mankind to profit by the costly lessons of the past and to build upon a sounder foundation than heretofor.e. There is much that our country can do toward that end. We must retain unimpaired our faith that only through enduring peace, based on international law and morality, and founded upon sound international economic relations, can the human race continue to advance. We must co-operate to the greatest possible extent with our sister Republics of the Americas and with all other nations to keep this conviction alive and to maintain the basic principles of international good faith, world order under law, and constructive economic effort.

OLIVER, principal The boys and girls of Los Angeles High School realize the importance of World Peace and a better understanding among the nations of the world. During all of its history, America has maintained a Urespect for others? There never has been any domination in religion, in economics or in government. Above everything else, the value of the individual has been the vital factor in the development of our country. For many centuries, the peoples of the world have been moving westward. During the present age, there are no new continents to discover. Therefore, the new frontier is not geographical. The real advancement of the present age is a better understanding of and a genuine desire for kindlier human relationships. Billions of dollars are now being spent by the European nations in the present conflict. If this money could b.e used to raise the standard of living, then better security and greater happiness would come to every man and Woman, and also to all of the youth of the world. The Parents, the Alumni, the Faculty, and the other students of the school thank you, the members of the Winter 1940 Class, for your leadership in determining wise and eflicient student policies. Your interest in the study of Peace has been of deiinite value to the whole school. May happiness and success be a definite part of your lives. O . r America, as compared with the civilization of Europe, is in its infancy, and during its comparatively brief existence as a nation, it has been busy in conquering the wilderness and in building up trade and industry. The contribution of our country, therefore, to world progress is better expressed in terms of an ideal than in thos.e of spelcitic, .outstanding achievement in the generally accepted sphere of art, literature, an music. f The fact that America cannot boast of .exceptional attainments in the cultural and creative arts does not signify that it has not played a very vital and significant role in world progress, for in the great modern government America has not a peer. Our country with its ideal of the emancipation of humanity from ignorance and oppression is demonstrating to the world the great principle of government of the people, by the people, for the people. As a result of this doctrine of freedom for all, America has been able to make a rich and varied contribution to world thought and progress in the realm of government, education, scientific discovery, invention, sanitation, engi- neering, industry, and business. The potential future contribution of America is limitless for the liberation and development of the soul, rather than a passive role both in the material and the spiritual progress of world endeavor and achievement. Qfahl ffftaa. In evaluating Americas Contribution to World Progress, one immediately goes back to the beginnings of our country and thinks of the basic concept of government on which our nation was founded. Freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom to vote, and to take part in the functions of government were fundamental principles in the establishment of the American republic. As an outgrowth' of these concepts of government has come our most worthwhile contribution to world progress, namely an increasing respect for the rights of the individual. A sense of justice, and desire of fair play, tolerance for the opinions and for the views of others, and the acceptance of all creeds and colors in one great brotherhood should make America peculiarly fitted to lead the nations of the world. The supreme test of this leadership as a nation is soon to come. As the most powerful neutral nation, it will be incumbent upon our country to see that a just and lasting peace follows the present European war, a peace that will protect little nations from an aggressor and will assure that justice, not might, will rule.

McCune Administration This year with most of the world seemingly more interested in destruction than in construction and contribution, it was only fitting and proper that the theme of the Winter 1940 Semi-Annual be America's Contribution to World Progress. The numerous activities that have taken place this semester have, whenever possible, affiliated them- selves with that theme. During this past term, we were very fortunate in having assemblies that were both entertaining and educational. Dr. 'Claude A. Buss, well-known professor of sociology, was our first guest speaker this term. Dr. Buss, who spoke at the CSF honor assembly, enlighted the Student Body concerning the conditions that led to the European war. His lecture was entitl.ed, VVhy the War in Europe? Following Dr. Buss, John Hall, the Richfield reporter of the radio, entertained and informed us with an assembly in which he, with several of his co-workers, explained the mechanisms behind his radio program. Inaugurating an activity new to the school this term, the Student Body executives planned and presented on October fourth, Los Angeles High School's first football dance. This party was a great success, and probably similar affairs are to be held in future seasons. Gunga Din was the first motion picture presented this termg and its sparkling comedy and glorious adventure were met with wide approval. Late in October, Mr. Kenneth Strickfaden astounded the science and mathematics classes with a most amazing exhibition of the wonders of science. Preceding the annual Roman-Colonial gridiron battle which was held on November third, Frances Tappaan, former Los Angeles High football star and All- American college player, was presented at a football rally. Mr. Tappaan's encouraging words did much to bolster the spirit of the team and Student Body. November sixth marked the beginning of the Community Chest driveg and in aiding this cause, a movie short with Charlie McCarthy was shown to the entire school. Following the orchestras of Hal Kemp, Sterling Young, and Les Parker, which were presented in previous semesters, Jan Garber with his orchestra and entire revue rendered a program that proved to be one of the most popular of the year. All of the proceeds derived from this program were given to the Chest fund Our Armistice Day assembly was made memorable by the presence of Major R. E. Blight, who has spoken to the Student Body many times. On November eleventh he presented a preachment against war. Late in November, the Los Angeles High School Reserve Ofiicers, Training Corps was presented with the unit award which was won during the semester of Summer 1939. The award was pres.ented by Mr. J. L. Van Norman, president of the Los Angeles High School Alumni Society and vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce. The winning of this award was made noteworthy not only because of its national importance, but also because of the fact that, during fourteen years of competition, the Los Angeles High School Unit has won this great honor thirteen times. Since the first football dance was such a great success, a second dance was held on November sixteenth, the day preceding the football game with Venice High School. This dance upheld the fine precedent set by the first dance and substantiated its success by being just as popular. Preceding the Thanksgiving holidays, Rome's football team participated in the annual P.-T.A. Carnival. This football carnival marked the .end of a very successful Roman season, successful in that the Roman eleven, for the second consecutive time, succeeded in winning the Western League Championship. On November twenty-eighth, it was the privilege of the Senior classes to view a dance program presented by Miss Mignon Callish and her partner. Miss Callish is well-known throughout the city for her dancing, and this program held great appeal for the students. This year, again, a Senior play replaced the traditional vod. Leave it to Smith was presented on the 7th and 8th of December and was a marked success. The plot, the locale of which was a newspaper office, centered around Mr. Smith, who was a reporter, and the girl owner of the newspaper. On December fifteenth, Mr. Reilly donned his perennial costume of old Saint Nick and p11t the entire Student Body into a gay spirit for the festive holidays that followed. On the Christmas program were many beautiful musical numbers presented by the various musical organizations of the school. On January eleventh and twelfth, a third student talent show was pr.esented to the school. The Iineness of this revue proved the versatility of some of Rome's stars to be. As we look back over the semester. we see that most of the programs, in some way, remind us of America's contributions to the world. To express his mind freely was Dr. Buss's privilege only because America has contributed and stood for that ideal. To learn about the radio and to see a motion pictur.e should serve to remind us that these two boons to modern humanity are products largely of Americas inventive geniuses. And above all, we should be reminded that in using Los Angeles High School as our font of learning, we are taking advantage of one of America's greatest contributions, her system ofeducation. Effectiveness in administration is, most evidently, due to co-operationg it has been because of the harmonious co-operation between Faculty and students that this term has so successfully terminated. GEORGE EPSTEIN, business manager twenty-eight S T D E N T i M MARSHALL PAXTON, Student Body president What has been America's contribution to world progress? What has our country done to further the advancement of civilization? No more challenging questions than these could be asked of us as young Americans. America ,as a nation among nations is youngg but with this newness comes a freshness of idea, method, and policy. Yes, our part in the advance- of civilization has been great, for we have contributed much in the fields of art, music, agriculture, natural resources, transportation, and invention. However, if we would but stop to think, we should discover that these are but minor steps toward our really momen- tous contributions to the progress of the world. Our first truly great contribution came with the landing of the first Pilgrim on our shores because he brought with him the ideal of two qualities almost unheard of in those times, namely, justice and liberty. He helped give the people of the world an example of a land where rich and poor were judged alike, and where every man was his own dictator. As a nation, we have given the world a feeling of peace and security, and set an example of a country governed by the rule of the greatest good for the greatest number. Our country is founded on the policy of union in a common defense for the general welfare of allg it is governed by and for the people in it. These conceptions of government are the reasons people in other lands work most of their lives to be able to seek the security offered by America. These policies become even more important when we realize that they are the backbone of our existenceg they are set up in the preamble of our constitution. They are the fundamentals by which we are ruled. Truly then, it can be said that the real contributions of America to world progress are our high ideals and our form of government, which is for the good of all. Let us as future citiz.ens and as loyal Americans fervently pray that ours will always be a land of the free and home of the brave. Sincerely, MARSHALL PAXTON thirty The destiny of our complex world is controlled by individuals. The progress made in various countries has been in accordance with knowledge and education. From this standpoint, America has been the outstanding contributor. Soon after the establish- ment of our government, the leaders realized the necessity of education, and our public school system developed. In our schools, we have no discrimination of persons because of race, color, or creed. It is possible for all to avail themselves of these educational opportunities in our United States. The compulsory attendance at insti- tutions of learning has resulted in a degree of literacy found in no other nation of the world. These educational facilities have influenced our modern life, for never before have people been as cognizant of pertinent issues. The youth of America have, indeed, a rich heritage! We, the graduating class of W'Ll0, appreciate our educational advantagesg and our hands shall now shape new contributions to world progress! Sincerely yours, CONSTANCE KIVARI Today apparently, America has very little to offer other nations. With another World war raging, it appears that our contributions in the fields of peace and World friendship have failed completely. But I believe that before us lies a great chance to contribute to the world many of our traditions and ideals. While the rest of the world is fighting, we can be teaching and learningg while others are forming hatreds, we can be forming friendships: and while Europe is tearing down its civilizations, we can be creating a finer culture, dedicated to the betterment of mankind. Americas contributions to world progress will be to observe our great ideals of equality and freedom of speech, press and religion, and above all our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When peace comes again to the world, we must be prepared to teach peace through democracyg for democracy is not just a form of government but a philosophy of life. The obligation will devolve upon us to con- tribute to the suffering nations our ideal of man's living together with man in peace. Sincerely yours, BOB McCLEAN America's contributions to world progress have been important in the fields of art, science, literature, industry, and government. But, today, as war ravages the frontiers of Europe, our thoughts are drawn rather to Americas contributions in the fields of goodwill, friendship, liberty, equality, and justice. America is a splendid example of goodwill, for on our Northern border, not one fortification exists from the Atlantic to the Pacific. She is also a splendid example of liberty, for each individual may speak, write, and worship as he pleases, he is limited only where he endangers the rights of others. Equality is also another of Am.erica's attributes, for, regardless of race, color, or creed, all have the opportunity of educationg and when majority is reached, of suffrage. Justice is found in her tribunals for both, rich and poor, guilty and innocent. These ideals are America's true contributions.

Galentine Gay Glen Ferguson Dickinson President: Kathryn Ferguson Vice-president: Dorothy Dickinson The Girls' Regular Board proposes to aid all of the girls of the school to have a friendlier attitude and to uphold the high standards of the Student Body. The Board meets every Tuesday and conducts trials for the girls who have not co-operated and have broken the rules. The girls of the Board enjoy fulfilling the motto of the Board, Noblesse Obligef' which means a privilege to serve. All the members carry out this motto by serving on committees which aim to help the girls of the school. Some of the committees are hospitality, social, locker rooms, clean-up service, assembly, and philanthropic. The Senior Board has such social activities as an Asso- ciate Board tea, an installation tea, and the Senior Board dance. This Board admits only members who have recommended grades with the exception of one satisfactory mark, approved by the Faculty Point Chairman and the Girls' Senior Board.

Much is expected of every member elected, for it is his duty to preserve the rules of the school at all times. Anyone in the school who chooses to dis- obey a rule is brought before this Board and is tried in court of Board. Just punishment is administered to every offender. The Board is responsible today for making good citizens of tomorrow. Yet, the Board has its fun, too. Its semi-annual dance is one of the year's biggest events, and its big stag dinner at the close of the term is a real occasion. This particular year has been especially successfulg and much credit is due to Mr. Hemsath, the sponsor, and to the officers, who all displayed the spirit of true leadership and were responsible for a Board, which helped to preserve and exemplify the spirit and to uphold the traditions of our school.

These Boards have been endeavoring to reduce the viola- tions of the school laws to a minimum, and to stimu- late a friendly feeling between the Faculty and stu- dents. All the students of Los Angeles High should try to make this desirable relationship possible. The Associate Board is elected by the A11 class and is composed of members of that class. The Board members are consistently rated high in scholarship and in civic mindedness. The members are also active in school activities and comprise an organization of which any school might be proud.

It gives power to committees, boards, and individuals to carry out decisions. This is the only body with the power to amend our constitution. This organization is an ideal medium between the Student Body and the student executives.

The two aims of the Service Board have been to enforce the school rules and to guard the safety of the students. Since senior boys, seeking nomination hereafter, for the Senior Board must have served at least one semester on a service organization, the Service Board not only provides a chance for students to participate in vital school affairs, but also offers an excellent opportunity for those interested to become acquainted with the type of work performed by the Senior Board. Service Boarders are stationed in the 'halls between periods, during lunch, and before school. The Service Board owes its success to its thirty-three members, who have worked hard in the discharge of their duties, and to the co-operation of the Student Body. The Board is composed of Brown Adams, Bob Barraclough, Paul Burnhart, Wayne Colver, Oscar Dato, Irving Day, George Davies, Harry Dickinson, Jim Goerz, Dick Hambleton, Henri Heller, Paul Lawrence, Bob Loew, Bob Maple, Edward McDonald, Sharon Moody, Richard Pachtman, Jim Park, Lawrence Powell, Bob Roberts, John Roberts, Paul Ridenour, Eugene Rubin, Tom Schamp, Bob Siens, Stuart Skeele, Howard Sky-Peck, Leonard Small, Herbert Tom, Kenneth Williams, Carl Wolff, and Robert Woolston.

Cur Beacon Light When sinks the sun of war from sight And the warring nations pause, They will seek a beacon in the night- A guide towards peaceful laws. Shall we extend a guiltless hand, To theirs, blood-stained by war, Shall we have kept a peaceful land, Can we lead them to sin no more? Our faith in Truth, our 1earning's might, Must grow with every year, Democracy, our beacon light, Shall calm their stumbling fear.

Reilly Flying the colors of turquoise blue and silver, the Class of Summer Forty is beginning to visualize and to understand the real meaning of education and its rela- tion to the advancement of Wo1'ld Progress. As stu- dents of the senior B class and as future citizens, it is our responsibility to help foster the ideals of demo- cratic people in World Progress. Our class found, in its various activities, opportuni- ties for mutual understanding and the development of the spirit of co-operation. While there has been a keen rivalry between the senior A's and B's, it has been of the type that has built friendships and tolerance in both groups. Outstanding events which have taken place Los Angeles High School Summer '40 if NA H 5 1 are the Star and Crescent dance, senior A and B debate, and the senior A and B contest. These were most en- joyable, but they were only a prelude to what we may expect in our senior A term. To our sponsors, Mrs. Lucile Neuswanger and Mr. A. M. Reilly, We owe and wish to express our deep appreciation for their untiring efforts and their sym- pathetic guidance without which We would have accom- plished little. Now our sincere hope is that we may be as fine a pattern to the coming senior B's as our senior A's have been to us.

Romans are kept up to date on all student aiairs through the columns of the Daily, which consistently year after year receives excellent ratings from all the journalistic surv.eys. This year the Blue and White Daily gave the Student Body first hand facts and colorful accounts of football, basketball, water polo, cross-country, and many minor sports, keeping the athletic interest of the school- at a high pitch. All phases of student life, academic work, club activities and editorial contents were handled by the news classes under the supervision of the staff.

Since our work deals not only with the language, but also with the history of the'Romans and Greeks, it is easy to trace one of America's most progressive steps to the Roman liberals and to their Greek predecessors in order to see where the ideals of true liberalism started. Th.ese Greek ideals, as set forth by Aristotle, began with intellectual freedom. Therefore, it can be seen that the quality of liberalism lies between her opinion and individual thinking. If we carry this theory forward several thousand years, we see in the midst of a biased and bigoted World one country standing out before the rest. Here in America, we are free to hear and read what we will and then to form our own conclusions. Every individualistic thinker developed by America is a triumph for her. Every time that America encourages free thinking, the world makes a step forward. This is Ame1'ica's, as it was G1'eece's contribution to world progress.

Peace comes only through complete understanding of one country by another. With this idea in mind, the El Romano is published by the students of the Spanish department of Los Angeles High School. This paper presents to the school the stories of Spanish speaking lands in the tongue of those countries. In this way, th.e lives and customs of the people are brought to the attention of the Spanish students here. In addition, El Romano is a stepping stone in learning Spanish. The object of its staff is to furnish an interesting, amusing, and worthwhile publication for the enjoyment of its read.ers. Travel articles of the Spanish countries are interesting and full of valuable information while jokes and cross-word puzzles furnish amusement to the readers. The paper is an entirely student project: the editorials being written by the staffg anyone in the school may submit copy. In this way, El Romano creates interest in learning to read and write Spanish. Thus the students of Los Angel.es High School become familiar with their Latin- American neighbors, and their tolerance and understanding can help to lay the foundation of a lasting world peace.

Adams The Star and Crescent Society, based upon the iine and enduring traditions of Los Angeles High School, is one of the most noteworthy organizations of this institution. Originally organized as a natural science club in 1879, it has since become an alumni association. The crescent represents the Santa Monica Bay, and the star signifies Los Angeles, thus, the star in the crescent bay. Star and Crescent day pays a final tribute to the graduating seniors when a farewell assembly is held in their honor. At this time, the seniors are presented with their pins in the form of tiny stars and crescentsg and as a concluding event, the senior B's act as hosts and hostesses at a dance in honor of their friends and comrades, who are graduating. The names of the members of the graduating class of Winter 1940 will then be entered upon the roster of the Star and Crescent Society. Thus, the senior A's will then become a part of the great and loyal alumni body of our school.

The names of the winning debate teams are engraved upon a silver cup on display in the trophy room. The debates, with the exception of the A and B Debate, are usually held in the music auditorium. The debate topic for the B10-A10 debate was, Resolved: That the United States should adopt a plan of political isolation in the present European conflict. The B11-A11 teams debated the question. Resolved: That the initiative law of the state of California should be amended to provide that a proposed law, once voted upon and rejected may not be re-submitted to a vote of the people within four years. The Senior A-B Debate, which usually proves highly exciting for seniors, was concerned with the question, Resolved: that the neutrality bill which prohibits American ships from dealing with beligerents and entering into war zones should be repealed.

Los Angeles High School was also represented in the City College Forensic Tournament as well as in numerous other activities, including Community Chest clothing drives and safety talks, thus the term was very busy for all members of the Forensic group. one hundred twenty M U S I C + F x Girls' Glee Club President: Xenia Selinsky Vice-president: Gloria Nygard Secretary: Frances Osborn Treasurer: Eleanor Neal Librarian: Shirley Chisholm Sponsor: Miss Ida M. Rankin Music is the lilting strains which have soothed the savage breast of many a human being. Music comes from the very soul of man to comfort and to sustain the human race. This world of ours needs harmony, and in music, one can find that precious quality which is so desired. The Girls' Glee Club tries, in its small way, to bring harmony and friendship to everything with which it comes in contact. At the various programs on which the members appear, they sing gladly and freely in the hope that joy and love of music may enter into the souls of the people to whom they sing. The Girls' Glee Club endeavors throughout the term to learn to sing intelligently and well the finest music which can be obtained. In this way, each individual member of the club gives the best which is in her for the enjoyment of all.

America had set a precedent for peoples who desire a more human plan of national life, a precedent for those peoples who desire freedom, freedom of the individual, not to trespass against social law, but to hold his own opinions, to cherish his own ideals, and to worship after his own religious creed. Today, however, the ideals of the early Americans, established for our good, are being threatened by pessimists, abstractionists, and those who are either ignorant or careless of their responsibilities to maintain a. democratic government. The Constitu- tion's simple truths seem forgotten while greed and selfishness rule, How then, can other nations follow us when our Democracy's future is so insecure? But those old American ideals are not yet dead, they live in the hearts of the lovers of democracy and in the American Constitution where first they were enshrined. To us, as the coming generation, lies the task of reviving faith in these truths and the proper respect, without which true democracy cannot exist. Yet let no one be-deck these qualities with false proportions and confusing adornments: these truths must stand plain and clean as a simple rock of strength, as a means to Democracy. Thus, they shall serve as a guiding light for the bewildered and war-torn peoples of the worldg they shall revive also their faith in truth and peace. EDITH ELLERSIECK, editor-in-Chief Have you ever seen a house that lives, a house that is living because of those who live within it, a house that speaks of the joys and sorrows, the loves and the hates which it harbors, a house that permeates the atmosphere with a feeling of friendliness? Such is America's house, The House of the Living, of living tolerance and liberty, of humanity that lives to let live. From this house, whose foundation is justice and whose very frame is rightousness, have come the American and his ideal, his contribution, the American who loves life, the American who believes that each person should be able to live his life as he sees fit. Now, have you ever seen a house that is dying, a house that is dying because of the lack of happy living within its walls, a house that has no air beckoning friendliness, one that suggests enmity and breeds rancor? Such are some of the houses of Europe, at least, if they are not dying, they are dormant. These houses are dens of hate, of despotism, of peccabilityg and here the dwellers have not yet learned the American ideal of living to love one's neighbor. One day, it will be America's duty to resurrect this ideal of human consideration. Today, the very maintenance of this philosophy depends on the United States, for, at the last great unpenetrated fortress left standing against the disillusion and turmoil that shocks the world each day, America's house stands as an architectural triumph of mankind, a contribution to all humanity, its very subsistence lives in the souls of the American people. Soon, it will be the duty of our generation to be the leaders of the House of the Living, and it will be our challenge to awaken our now dormant neighbors to the realization that tolerance, justice, and liberty are the only foundations of a nation which will not eventually decay, but which will endure through the ages. GEORGE EPSTEIN, business manager Did you know that there are thousands of men and women in our city who today can barely read or write? It is pitiable to observe a grown man, tongue in his cheek, laboriously trying to sign his name to his meagre salary check, and to know that there are men and women who are unable even to read the daily newspaper. Yet, there are such people, and for this reason, classes have been formed in practically every modern high school to instruct them and help them. If you have ever passed an adult class during session, you were probably surprised to see the complete attention which each individual pays. Why shouldn't he pay attention? He is receiving his instruction without cost and by competent teachers. He is learning to become a helpful and worthy citizen, to know how to vote intelligently, to discriminate truth from propaganda, to appreciate fine literature, art, and music, and to maintain good health. Progress in the form of adult education is one of America's truly great contribu- tions. No man or woman need be uneducated in this land of ours where education is free. EVELYN ASHER, engraving manager one hundred twenty-nine Editorials Say not world progress stands enmired, Say not the world is lostg Though men tear truth from one another And wrap themselves in robe of hate, Some good must live- Some good which ugliness harms not, Mis-shapen words cannot contaminate, That which God instilled in man, His creation, in His image. Though they heap upon the fires of Hell All which we consider holy, We shall not offer them our souls as fuel- Fuel for their lust. We shall live our lives as symbols Standing forth in truth, As guardians of their posterity YVho shall pay for their ignorance and destruction. NVe shall not swoop into their whirlpool's devastation, But as the silver-tipped gull glides undaunted Toward the glories of a peacefully sinking sun- Safely 0,61' ravishing tumults of corrupted seas below, We too shall skim the clean, clear air, We too shall soar o'er thrashing waves That reach and tear, and strive to draw us down Deep down into the senseless depths below. Our golden goal alone in view, A life of peace and harmony, Not entwined with jealousy, nor hate, Not rending God's word, and mocking. But we must not bask in vain glories, Our house foundations must be noble, strong, That we may be a shelter, aid, To those who wandered from the path. This may they believe When they fall, prostrated By their greed and hypocrisyg This may we contribute to future worlds. MARGIE SCHMID, assistant editor-in-chief When I come to school every morning as the stars and stripes are being raised, I see America's youth, young, eager, and active coming from homes of all classes. As the first bugle note sounds, every student stopsg and as the Flag ascends, all stand still in silence. This silence thrills me, for in this moment, something beautiful is born, the very spirit of love and loyalty is given life. Surely this moment is powerful. It is a living prayer, a solemn pledge, repeated by every child, in every school, in every town and city of this nation. The grown-ups can learn from the youth of today this reverence toward our country. Adults should feel as strongly as every child toward their Hag. This symbol, created by Betsy Ross in those first struggling years, has forever been an inspiration for the progress and growth we have here enjoyed. However, adults have a double responsibility to their country, they have the responsibility of the ballot. A voice in the law is the privilege of every American! That is our heritage from our forefathers who fought for liberty, equality, and justice for all. Remembering this as we, boys and girls, face the world, let it guide us in each of our respective caree1's. Let it influence us also to take advantage of the many opportunities we have in supporting our government. The responsibility and results of the failure or success of our great nation should not rest with a handful, but should be the combined effort of each and every American citizen. ROBERT JOHNSON, senior A co-editor Utopia, where man walks hand in hand with Opportunity, where children live deep in the fertility of self-expression, and Where even the youngest baby is fed on the ripe fruits of freedom: Utopia! At last, the ideal of every tru.e American citizen! How close we have come to this glorified destination none of us can tell. For though in each of us has been instilled the teachings of Democracy, it must be admitted that in too many has been planted also a feeling of self-satisfaction and perfection. And it must be realized now, if never before, that when a nation of peoples such as ours begins to relax in the brilliance of its reflected glory, we truly have let our ideals and aspirations deteriorate. And more than that, we have ceased to fulfill our duty not only to ourselves but also to world progress, Perhaps too many generations have passed since we have heard the cry of Give me liberty or give me death : perhaps we have grown fat and contented living off the income of a fortune that our fore-fathers built up for usg perhaps, our minds have grown stale with the inactivity which accompanies an already Hnearly perfect democracy: but whatever the reason, action must be taken. We have the power in our hands to contribute the greatest treasure which any nation could give to further the world's progress. We have born and bred in us a fundamental which could truly, if taught and spread kindly, bring peace and more understanding to all the nations of the world, namely Tolerance. Then, let us create tolerance, such as Washington taught a new nation when the colonists found they must work together as equals, such as Lincoln inspired in a more iirmly joined union, and such as has formed the very background of our nation. Let this tolerance become the weapon with which we shall conquer the enemies of Democracy. And Americans, once we have awakened and begun to carry on again the work of our forefathers, namely the spreading of tolerance, we will truly have taken a great step toward our Utopia. SHIRLEY GRACE KROLL, literary co-editor one hundred thirty Editorials When our Pilgrim fathers fied from the tyranny and oppression in Europe and took refuge in uncharted America, they came with a vision of a mighty ideal, that of freedom and democracy. This ideal, a noble gift from these pioneers, has been inherited by us. This passing on of our heritage can be similar to the passing of the burning torch in the old Greek relay races. Today, our heritage can be likened to the glowing torch in the hand of our symbolic figure, the Statue of Liberty. This liame has burned over freedom's march and progress through the years. It has seen the changes and alterations in living and housing conditions, in transportation and communication, and in science and industry. It has witnessed the continual evolution of ideals from genera- tion to generation. Time has lent a hazy aura to this march of freedom, dulling in part its glamour and its imperative need. Perhaps, as I have said, the glamour has worn partly off because of years of non-agression upon our freedom, therefore, we have become lax in our ideas and thoughts concerning freedom. However, the need for definite protection has never become less, in fact, with the closer binding of nations through transportation and communication, the need has in reality increased immeasurably. Today, our frontiers are considerably narrowed, territorially, but mentally and physically, they are immense and unexplored. VVe are facing glorious opportunities in medicine, science, improved living, public health, and education. I believe that the time has come for intense mental development, for coming from the sturdy stock of our forefathers, our nation is capable of greater mental ability. I feel that education should be improved and stressed above all else, because it has broken the fetters that bound America's mental processes in the past. Thus, I feel that we as youth face the prospects of an even closer knit world, the ballot, our assumption of a definite place in the community and city and state and nation in which we live. We should start even now to be freedom-conscious and democracy-conscious, for freedom was the ideal upon which America was settled by the Pilgrims, and democracy is that ideal of which our nation more than any other is the example. VIRGINIA CORBETT, assistant editor-in-chief Last night, I had a dream of golden prairies and ripening grain. Few bended stalks marred the sight for the great majority were staunch and straight, they shifted to and fro, weathering all storms, and arising once more with their proud heads, they whispered to a,passing breeze, We are honored, we are free. Tall, vital, the grain is a symbol of What America is to Mef' Is it not easy to visualize that grain as we, the American people, choking out the weeds of hate, yet standing staunch and straight, and iirm become d.emocracy's final hope, which the enemies eternally fear? Our foundation was built by brave idealistic men, men of all types, whose only thought was that America would be the refuge for those who sought freedom and peace. America is like the sun, casting warm rays of happiness, it is like the grain which sends out food for thought the world over. Are we a happy people? Yes, the world speaks of us as a people with lack of passion, a nation with an extraordinary sense of humor. We should be proud of that quality. As long as we can smile, we are safe from the hate within the world today. Our nation's passion is the loyalty for our country, we are a loyal people. A tremor runs through the mass of our citizens when gazing upon the flag that represents our vast democracy. We realize what it stands for, we will preserve it as long as we can laugh and have the loyal blood of our forefathers running through our veins. We have given our ideals to other nations, so now some others too have become democracies. We have risen from rugged lands, from uncultivated plains to tall, sturdy grain. No one ever saw grain that did not sparkle which was not ready for life. Once it droops, it is no longer vital, it breaks and is blown to the seven winds. So if the very souls of the American people continue to keep America united and strong, they can rise to even greater heights. Last night, I had a dream of golden prairies and ripened grain, staunch and straight, no bended stalks to mar the sight. Each row stood for free speech, free press, town halls, and a hundred more symbols, the ideals of the American people. All over the world, the grain has choked out the weeds. The world built America's foundation, now in turn America will inspire democracies in other countries. Last night, I had a dream! BETTY TREMAYNE, co-literary editor one hundred thirty-one ' l Editorials Caught in a maelstrom of war and ruin, the nations of the world have struggled in vain to find some gleam of light to guide them from the chaos and despair of these turbulent times. Submerged in a sea of anguish, they have outstretched their arms for help and have found their prayers answered. Peace and friendship have forged the links of a great chain of integrated nations from Canada to Cape Horn. The Pan American Union! These conjoint nations of the Americas, with their kindred peoples living in harmonious accord, have offered their help to Europe. Their hands stretch across the sea, not with soldiers or armaments, but with promises to keep alight the lamp of knowledge and of civilization on this continent while culture and art are in grave danger over there. The Pan Americas form a melting pot for every race, color, and creed with their languages rivaling the Tower of Babel in number, orientating them- selves in a new land, willing to be assimilated, losing their own racial identity in order to do their part for the common weal. This is the lesson that our Pan American Union teaches Europe. The coalition of the American powers have proved to Europe that friendly negotiations are possible between adjacent nations whose geographical posi- tions have of necessity placed them side by side. The amicable intercourse among the Americas is the realization of the dreams of our forefathers. Our responsibility is the protection and furtherance of world civilization. We must search for the truth while European despots hide it. The Pan American Union must do all in its power to bring the light to darkened Europe and to hope that they may see this light and let it guide them to a modern renaissance. ' JOANNE ROSENBAUM, organization editor Voltaire once said, I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. How well this expresses the feeling of tolerance that the American people set forth as an ideal of democracy for tolerance is truly an ideal, and like any other ideal, it can not be taught through textbooks, it must be absorbed. Each individual in himself must be an example of tolerance. He must show by word and deed that he has respect for the opinions and beliefs of others even though he does not share them. He must not hate his neighbor because he is of a different religion, he must not condemn a man for his origin, nor must he shun him because of his colorg and above all, he must not deny a man justice because of some personal preju- dice. These qualities he must exemplify so that other men and other nations will see the advantages to be gained by such an attitude and will follow his precedent. Ever since the first Pilgrims landed on our shores, America has been a refuge for those seeking tolerance. Thousands of persecuted people pour into our country each year, and all are safe and are given safety and protection from a government that encourages individual thinking. To them, America is a tolerant mother. She listens to their hopes and grievances, she applaudes and denounces them, but never does she refuses them audience nor threaten them into silence. In the United States it is a man's right to think and to speak, and it is his neighbor's duty to respect and tolerate his thoughts. These are the principles of which America is proud for they are the key to democracy just as they are the key to world peace and progress. MARCIE CAPLAN, senior A co-editor One hundred and seventy years have not yet passed since the eventful days of '76 when a mere handful of brave men and women fought a bloody revolution in order to liberate the thirteen colonies from England. These men set a precedent for democratic ideals that gave the world new hope and started the overthrow of old world mon- archists. Ere the blood of these courageous American Patriots had dried upon the ground, a new cry for freedom was heard echoing from across the water in France. Inspired by fearless American patriots, the bleeding French nation arose and overthrew the yoke of tyranny. America once again set the pace by establishing a strong self government. Some of the most brilliant statesmen of the time such as Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, Madison, and Franklin drew up one of the greatest documents ever written, the Constitution of the United States of America. In it, we were guaranteed freedom of speech, press, and religion. Furthermore, it established a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Without a doubt, very few of the younger generation realize what this constitution really means to us. It has survived the ravages and radicalism of one hundred and fifty years without a serious wound. It is hard for us to visualize a nation wherein freedom of speech and press is forbidden. However, such conditions exist in the world today. Dictators, in their greed for power, have loosed the scourge of an unmerciful war on suffering humanity. In the midst of all this turmoil, America still stands above the clouds as a shining example of security. Once again, America leads the world in democratic ideals. May America always continue to send out its beacon of light as a guide to the world. WALTER HULTERSTROM, group photo manager one hundred thirty-two Editorials I am the Spirit of Progress. At my feet, I behold a nation upright and shining in the brilliant sunlight while across the sea the smolderings of a crestfallen land rises in contrast with the freedom of this youthful country of the United States. Men are fighting in both of these continentsg one, for glory found in living, the other, for glory found in taking life. These constitute forces, and they both shall present their own contributions to world progress. Below me, I find scientists at work co-operating with physicians in their research for the betterment of humanity, in contrast to the life over there which is being destroyed rather than preserved. Here, knowledge takes on a higher rank as youth realizes that education is war's enemy. Great is youth's struggle to pres.erve the precious rights his forefathers have given him through hardships of their own. It takes strength of character and courage to live under a democracy rather than under dictatorship, just as it takes courage to live richly rather than to live weakly. Democracy is a product of centuries of develop- ment, it does not rise from the sudden exertion of man, but from his long toil towards it. It has been a great contribution which you have given me. Freedom has always been your guide, new nation, may it be spread like the gospel in every land, by every tongue as it is still a priceless possession that has been iercely fought for since the beginning of rulers. Freedom means the expressing of one's heart and voicing one's thoughts. America, out of darkness, your countrymen have created you, by gaining freedom of thought, worship, and then by deed. Their knowledge, though young, has proven far greater than their Colonial fathers'. The democracy they have established and are continuing to uphold in these months of turmoil is a goal extending towards the freedom other men envy. One quality is to be remembered, Tolerance, which will preserve your democracy of tomorrow. America, with all these, freedom, democracy, tolerance, your contribution to World Progress shall be World Peace. JANET TILL, individual photo co-editor Educating our children for Democracy! What a huge task faces the parents and teachers of the coming generation when on every side men are giving up their lives to abolish Democracy. The blood of every nation Hows in the veins of American school children. Yet, regardless of their parentage, these children are all American citizens and should be taught the ideals upon which this country was founded. At present, America is being deluged with propaganda from all nations, and it is especially timely, at this stage in the world's progress, for the students in Americafs schools to be taught that it is their duty as Americans to think of their own country's welfare. Following the example of the School Board of Elgin, Illinois would be advanta- geous for many other American schools. This Board, under the direction of the superintendent of schools, has instructed the teachers of Elgin to impress on their pupils the necessity of thinking first and always of the Welfare of the United States. Mr. Patterson said in part, America's place in the world today is to show that men can live in peace. May our schools, created and supported for that purpose, be loyal to that high resolve. Yes, the teaching of D.emocracy to the coming generation is a huge task, which, if this country is to continue under the present form of government, must be undertaken seriously by each parent and teacher. The only way in which America's Democracy may be preserved, is to teach these children, as early in life as possible, the virtues of tolerance and a sympathetic understanding of each other as Well as the basic funda- mentals of the Constitution of the United States. If every child knew and understood the Constitution upon which this country's Democracy is founded, the present generation could rest assured that the future of American Democracy would not be endangered. So let us hope that other school boards will follow this fine example and promote in the minds of the students of America, a true and sincere feeling for the ideals of American Democracy. Thus by teaching our children, we shall truly be able to preserve Democracy for America. BETTY JANE REED, individual photo co-editor one hundred thirty-three ESSAYS, POEMS, AND STORIES Appreciation of time Ballot in the Uniteci States First place-senior A essay When we consider the tremendous strife and economic disorder that prevails in all parts of the world today, the functioning of our government should interest us greatly, and should be more important to us than it has been at any previous time in our history. Democracies are said to be losing out in the world of todayg but, if the people of the United States realize the true meaning, purpose, and responsibility of their ballot, the preservation of democracy in this country will be strengthened greatlyg and thereby the rest of the world will be shown that democracy is still the linest form of government. The purpose of the ballot obviously is interpreted differently by different people. To some, it may seem a duty to be performed for the privilege of living in this country. These people are easily mislead by malicious propaganda, because they have taken no interests in the functions of their governments and thus allowed their governments to be corrupted by underhanded methods of greedy politicians. They are educated in a measure, but their governments are allowed to suffer because they lack interest. To others, because of the lack of education, the ballot means practically nothing, conse- quently, they either take no part in their governments by not making use of the ballot, or they are mislead in their ideas of how government should be controlledg and they vote wrong. But to those Americans who have educated themselves and who take a vital interest in the functioning of our government, the basic purpose of the ballot is to ensure a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. It is our hope that this form of government will continue in this country, so it rests with us to strengthen this government by creating an interest in, and educating ourselves to the meaning and responsibility of the ballot. We have seen what has happened to the people's voice through the ballot in Germany and in Russia, the results should make us feel the urge to strengthen the people's voice in the government here. One hears on .every hand that the United States will not be well enough equipped to withstand the drastic and certainly backward movements against civilization, now in operation in many parts of the world, and that it will likely become involved, and thus burden the next generation with even weightier problems than now confront us. In this situation, war or peace, and life or death for us or our loved ones may rest upon the ballot alone. The people must understand that this period through which we are passing is more precarious than that situation existing before we entered the last war. In the past twenty-one years, the United States's interests and dealings have increased greatly throughout the world, placing us in a more dangerous position. How- ever, the s.entiment in this country towards the crisis in Europe is so strongly fixed against b.ecoming entangled that before Congress could hope to involve us, there would have to be a war referendumg therefore, I repeat, that war or peace, and life or death for us and our loved ones may rest upon the ballot. As our country develops, th.e constitutional and civil rights which were founded with the birth of this nation have to be defined more technically. This is accomplished through the passage of laws and amendments to our state and national constitutions. In this process, however, to protect their civil rights from being infringed upon, the people may resort to the ballot. But, before they should do this, they must acquaint themselves with the events and conditions of the times to know whether their rights are being usurped, for they indirectly help to make the laws by electing representatives by means of the ballot. The ballot should be used not only to maintain our present democratic form of government but also to advance the nation as a whole in industrial and commercial interests. Unless the ballot is understood and used wisely by the p.eople, progress may be made for the benefit of a few individuals and not for the nation as a whole, because monopolies are soon created when the majority of the people become disinter- ested and do not make proper use of the ballot but are mislead by malicious propaganda. An alert, educated, and interested people could and should do much to advance and benefit the nation as a whole by the privilege of suffrage. The youths of America who are still in school should realize the necessity of their education and their responsibility in the use of the ballot, for, sooner than they think, many of the burdens of the nation will be resting upon their shoulders. Every American should be glad that he is living in a democracy Where he is able, by means of the ballot, to express his views and sentiments, and thus to protect his interests and welfare. This is the only way in which the common people of any nation can have a vital part in the government. It is our solemn duty to respect the ballot, and to educate ourselves in the importance and meaning of this sacred instru- ment, so that we may make our government the best possible, a gov.ernment of the people, by the people, and for the people.

M' U , info f I Tolerance: the Keynote to a Nation's Progress Second place-senior A essay What has tolerance done for America? What has America to do with tolerance? America is tolerance, it is the living symbol of a nation, open-minded and open-hearted. Tolerance is a feeling or habit which disposes a person to be indulgent towards those whose opinions and practices differ from his own. Tolerance is the bigness that enables us to let people be happy in their own way instead of our way. Tolerance is the ability to live with others peaceably, to allow them their own opinions, and above all, to respect them. The very basis of American democracy stands firmly on principles of tolerance. The early Pilgrims, searching for religious freedom, and the Colonials, fighting for individuality and the rights of man, formed the foundation for a tolerant America. It was tolerance that wrote Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press, and Freedom of Religion into the Bill of Rights, and it is tolerance that keeps this fr.eedom alive. Where else but in a land of glorious freedom could a man, regardless of race, religion, or cueed, be independent, be free, free and equal with a chance to succeed in anything from politics to science? Most of the great discoveries and inv.entions of the past two centuries are due to this magic quality which has preserved America and made it great. Through tolerance, we enjoy so many luxuries and privileges that to enumerate them is useless. Besides how can one estimate the value of electricity, aviation, automobiles, the sewing machine, or the modern printing pr.ess? Was it not tolerance that permitted Booker T. Washington, a negro, to become a famous man? Was it not tolerance that allowed George Gershwin, a J.ew, to have his music loved, and made him a symbol of America's progress in the world of music? Above all, was it not tolerance that made Abraham Lincoln the supreme exponent of Am.erica's greatness and world progress? Thus, it is tolerance that allows us, you and me, 'to live in cities, towns, and villages, free, unhampered by oppression and tyranny. So to cherish what we have, as one cherishes any symbol of high ideals, loyalty, and even undauntable courage, is the obligation of every individual who undertakes to call himself a true American. Imagine living in a land where one must whisper one's opinions and face imprison- ment if overheard, where one's religion or political beliefs determine one's success in life and in living. Imagine being a mental and physical robot with all freedom of spirit crushed, beaten, broken, and bound as if in irons, with intolerance and hatred towards all who are not strong enough to defend themselves. Oh, yes, we can truly be thankful for our heritage, for our birthright, a free America, a tolerant America, in all, a Mecca for living. If this be flag-waving, make the most of it. Each man has, on the horizon of his mind, his own particular Utopia, his Shangri- La. What place on earth can we use to compare with Utopia? Let us imagine if we can, a place where a person can worship op.enly as one believes, a place which has free education, beautiful parks, huge, well-ordered cities, and vast fertile lands, where the standards of living are constantly being raised, and most important of all, where one is free! This is a place where one can start at the bottom and rise in the ladder of life. America! While it is true that neither America nor any other land is perfect, Cfor when something is perfect it is complete, it is done,J Amrica has a completeness, a superiority that is breathtaking and thrilling. Imagine if you can, if suddenly you were deprived of your most precious possession, your American citizenship. Then you, who in your blissful ignorance take it for granted now, would realize the loss, the irreparable loss of the privilege of American citizenship. This citizenship means the right to vote for the man in whose wisdom you trust, the right to eat, sleep, live, and think in true freedom. Oh, if only everyone realized the depth, the meaning of th.e freedom we enjoy here, what a place this would be. If only everyone realized that tolerance is freedom. Is it not grand to be able to say, You breathe and walk and talk just as I do? You think this is wrong and that is right. I don't care. You may think whatever you wish. You are free, and I am free, and so I'll just try to change your opinion, but if I can't, all is well! There is plenty of room for you and me and our differences. After all, this is America! It's freedom! It's tolerance! It's faith, hope, and charity, all rolled into one. Did you ever stop to think and to realize that it was this same tolerance, so much maligned and trampled upon at present, that our forefathers, true .exponents of American principles, wrote into our inspired Constitution, that noble preamble that incorporates tolerance so truly. We, the people, in order to form a more perfect union,-to establish justice and to insure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. It's true, my friends! Tolerance made America. , May God preserve tolerance! MILDRED FRIEDMAN, A12 one hundred thirty-nine What America Has Meant to Mc Third place-senior A essay As we survey the European situation, we see what a great privilege it is to be an American. I am grateful to be one of many who live in a country that aids in the progress of civilization for the freedom of the oppressed and the betterment of all mankind. What this has meant to me cannot be expressed in written words as Words are powerless in the strong grip of gratitude. Since the age of six, when I first attended public school, I realized the wonderful contributions that I was accepting from my country. How proud I felt to walk into a school which served all persons, regardless of color or creed. We were taught to salute the American iiag and to sing our national anthem. As time went on, I learned of the hardships of that courageous band who sailed the rough sea to seek a new land and call it home. I read how these Pilgrims landed, struggled, and worked to set up their government, one of liberty, equality, and the freedom to worship as they pleased. These people had laid the foundation of the government of which I was now a part, even though a small part, one which I would never wish to relinquish. Now, I can see how we had progressed since that bleak winter day at Plymouth Rock, and how the minds of free individuals were busy creating inventions and ideas that eventually ended in the laws of self government, in the drafting of the Constitution, in electricity, in the radio, and in the telephone. These people had the foresight and ideas which made this country what it is today, the leading democracy of the world. The minds of these men were not closed by the iron hand of dictatorship, nor their mouths closed by censorship. They had the freedom to think, to act and to say what they wished, thereby contributing to the progress and betterment of their country. In the past, America has been led by men of great character and strength, men who worked solely for the help of their fellowmen, to lead them through the paths of progress and peace. Ever since I can remember, America has meant to m.e the freedom of life and liberty which all young people greatly deserve. Although our country had gone through the stages of wars and depressions, it still succeeded in keeping its head above water, never once sinking to the bottom of chaos. Families that had gone down with the decline of the financial situation were given the freedom and opportunity to regain their foothold on life and soon to travel on the road to recovery. At the present time, America still means to me freedom of speech, press, and reli- gion. It makes me realize that two oceans separate me from the bombs of other nations. I look across the sea at nations rising against nations and see the chaos that is being wrought, and civilization which is rapidly declining. Their progress has stopped, as is seen by the fact that they are fighting one another for the purpose of obtaining more than is rightfully theirs. They are like small boys quarreling over each other's toys when one wants what the other has in order to satisfy his greed and envy. Regardless of the European situation, America is still progressing in the better- ment of civilization. Through neutrality and the work of keeping our affairs at home in order, we are striding ahead with new ideas and ways in which to keep our liberties and high standards of living from being contaminated by foreign propaganda. While war clouds rage over Europe, we in America are striving for peace and harmony, proving our continued advancement and contribution to world progress. In the future, America will mean to me the security and happiness to which every American has looked forward since the time of his birth. I shall have the great satis- faction of knowing that my home and family will be safe from foreign invaders and that in time of need, my government will come to my aid. I shall know that my government will not forsake or turn against me or my fellowmen, as it is founded on the rock of equality in order that freedom of the people, for the people, by the people shall not perish from the earth. As America has stood for the good of humanity in the past, and as it stands for that ideal now, so shall our country shine in the future as the symbol of liberty and freedom. This is America's contribution to the World. GOD BLESS AMERICA! JANE BERMAN, A12 one hundred forty My America Honorable mention-senior A essay America! My land of bold ideals and courage born of youth and fr.eedom! How many aged men have found in you, the strength to raise their eyes from the dust! Born between the rocks of pounding seas, you have withstood the s.eas of time and terror, standing as a beacon to nations' sinking hearts. Your slender beams of knowledge, science, freedom have radiated from your idealistic whole, and ignited again the sparks that light men's souls. One beam, magnified and concentrated by such men as Diderot, Voltaire, Rousseau. set France afir.e with love of freedom. But France forgot, old men do forget, that the rays of tolerance must glow as well, and in so doing, hid their beacon from the world. Still, the world wished to see, and so sought our shores and dreams-and saw. A beam of light from many fires is science in America. With cables through the sea, science has tightened earth's belt. As if not satisfied, she built her a corselet of iron linksg men flewg m.en changed the very atomg and sweated proud and weary with pounding turbines. She cut a continent in two, sent electrons streaming from vast, artificial lakes, and hung bridges as strong and plastic as the steel from whence they came. She stole .earth's secrets from the tar and rocks, and made a slave of her to men. Small-pox, yellow fever, X-ray too were fast enslaved. Her older brothers stared amazed, asked questions, and followed in her epic-making footsteps. America should thank her science for such noble men as Millikan, Fulton, Bell, Franklin, Nugouchi, and all those who made industry, art, commerce, communication, and human aid possible, but more important, gave us ideals and showed us how to make our beacon light clear and steady. So powerfully has the beam of our science smote other nations that Harvard University has been the oflicial astronomical center of the world for fifty years. There, too, the fires of peace in one great interest burn unfailingly through rumors of war and wars. With all the richness of European and Far-Eastern culture shining as a luminous star far above our sturdy landmark, we may have come to the simple but incorrect belief that America could not possibly have sent her rays of progress to such a height. Yet Longfellow's bust sits placidly in Westminister Abbey, Eugene Ormandy conducts scores by George Gershwing Maxwell Anderson is hailed for his revival of plays in blank verse. American art has taken the background of the Old World for her canvas and dipped her brush of genius in the New. The enthusiasm for h.er development has grown rapidly since industry and science have reached the stage where they are able to fend for themselves. America's art is at best an ungainly creature, her revolutionary music, drama, literature, poetry are powerful in their individual ways while sculpture, and dance strive for an equal greatness. Even so, Isadora Duncan was one of the leaders in the trend of mod.ern dance as Amy Lowell was foremost in her poetic movement. A somewhat fitful beam is this art, yet one so powerful at times it blinds the world. A blind world could not see our beam of knowledge save with young, seeking hearts. America is young, knowledge herself is youngg and youth is very strong. She has the vastnesses of old truths and new horizons, the intelligence of freedom, this America of mine. Her knowledge has proved itself more true when free to supplement ideals rather than wh.en subjugated to them. Under the protection of her beacon tower, women have won their right of suffrage, their right to equality! No ray has pierced more deeply than this, the awakening of truer freedom to the light. GEORGYANNA DE CONSIGNY, A12 The Jitterbug's Contribution In this world of strife and care, There is a remedy, .lust listen to the trumpets blare, And join the jubilee. It takes your mind off worry, That solid sending jiveg It picks you up in a hurry- That's why it will survive. one hundred forty-one When that band starts playing, Your feet just won't stay still, The rhythm starts you swaying, As if you had no will. This is what America's done, And it is our solution, We showed the world the way to fun. Swing is one contribution. RICHARD WAINER, B11 An Individual Speaks First place-upper division essay I am an American. Small and humble though I may be, I can justly call myself a part of a great bulwark of national feeling and strength that has gradually raised itself to an immortal standard in the world of today-a standard that can truthfully hold itself gloriously, independent amongst other nations which quaver and rock uncertainly on their ever-changing foundations. I know that the impregnable country in which I am living will forever remain solid and majestic, for I am living in a democracy that has flowered like an ever-growing plant since the days of our forefathers. Embodied in my heart is the knowledge that this nation, this jewel set like a bright light on the dark roads of the world, has given to the rest of the universe an ideal that can never or will never be dimmed. I know that this ideal of which I speak is one that is true, for I have seen with my own ey.es and heard with my own ears people in other countries tell with emotion of its meaning. I speak of the ideal that lives in th'e hearts of people of all races, color or creed-Freedom! I ask you has not this country since its birth given of itself for the liberty of its people, and the betterment of co-ordination or union of its people and the peoples of the world? Definitely, it hasg and so in return have the people turned to their country and given and helped to spread our ideals to other nations. Well have we succeeded in the ideal of free education. This, if nothing else, is important for has it not been the main factor in molding and shaping the destinies of man and woman? This America gave, for in her opinion free education was essential for national progress. Now I can be confident, as can p.eople in other nations, that children in years to come, whether rich or poor, will not be illiterate. Instead they will help establish intelligent and interested governments and preserve and better the world through this wonderful ideal, under which all may obtain a knowledge of learning. How fortunate we are today to have the uncontested right of expressing our thoughts in words or in print. This fully developed ideal freedom, both of press and speech, grew out of an embryo formed years ago in this country. People today may freely express their opinions and thoughts in all the saner-minded nations of the Worldg and through this privilege, the man and woman of today may help keep the government from crushing them and dominating their lives. If not for American progress, I wonder in what station of life the people would stand today. Certainly not as the various types of democracies most of us of the world represent! I am thankful to America for its ideal of freedom of religion. Today, I may walk unafraid to the church of my religion and pray to the God I worship. Indeed, we should be grateful to our forefathers for granting us in the Constitution freedom of religion. For today this ideal has spread far, being rejected only recently by a very few foreign nations. As a whole, however, America's contribution to the religion of the world helped the development of countries for years. Without it, where would we be? I think of many other contributions of imperishable standing that have grown out of an idea that som.e insignificant human being has conceived and developed to become a living symbol that will forever dame and glow in the development of world progress. Our immortal poets and authors, our painters and scientists, all have contributed their ideas for the benefit of the world. Sometimes I am afraid. I pause and reflect that perhaps this democracy is not going to be treasured in the years to come as it has been in the years past. Yet always, I have come to the same conclusion, have laughed at myself for my foolish fearsg laughed to think that a world could fall. Y.es, world, for into every nook and corner of our universe has crept some inkling, no matter how small, of the element of democracy. Since the time democracy was conceived until the present, this greatest of ideals has been embedded in the souls of the majority of the people of the world. This cannot and will not b.e destroyed. I can say truthfully, that America has contributed greater confidence, more understanding, and higher intelligence to the world, that these ideals are being handled and treated with reverence as one would treat something connected with the preservation of one's country. Yes, I am an American. Proud of my country for its many valuable and unmatch- able contributions to world progress, for the developing and spr.eading of so many fine ideals, and above all, for my knowledge that I live in a nation that will always go on doing these deeds for the betterment of the world. Proud because it is stable and firm! Proud because it is a democracy, and that I am a part of that democracy.

The founding of a democratic form of government was of itself an out- standing contribution to world progressg and since it has proved to be a workable form of government, other countries have realized its advantages and have adopted it. It is easy to understand why a democratic nation can progress more rapidly than one under a less liberal form of government as a democracy affords greater opportunities for the development of initiative and the'working out of original ideas. The framers of the Constitution were well aware of this fact when they included within the Constitution, the Bill of Rights. Not the least important of the contributions which America has made to world progress is her acceptance of women on an equal basis with men in practically all fields of endeavor. Up to one hundred years ago, the home was definitely considered to be woman's only sphere of activity. Her duties included cooking, sewing, keeping her house, rearing her children, some embroidery, or other fancy workg and any excursions out- side of her home usually were in connection with her church. Young women who found it necessary to earn a living for themselves and for their families had a very limited number of occupations from whichTo choose. In fact, there were only six which were considered proper, namely, keeping boarders, teaching young children, typesetting, book-binding, needlework, and domestic service. Fortunately, America's industrial revolution was to come to womenis aid and to provide new fields of employ- ment. However, the event most directly responsible for the admission of women into fields formerly open to men was the Civil Wa1'. Realizing the need for workers, women enlisted in stores and factories, engaging in activities which helped to keep the needs of the nation well supplied. For the first time, women received appointments to posts in Federal departments. At the close of the Civil VVar, there was retirement to private life within the home, but this was far from being general as the demands of women for the right to engage in both industry and the professions which they desired to enter, and for higher education, which could train them more efficiently for industrial and professional work, grew more insistent as time went on. At the beginning of the Civil War, Vassar College, open to women students only, was founded. As the demand for higher education for Women became more urgent. other schools were established. Six years after the war, Smith College was foundedg and within ten years, Wellesley and Bryn Mawr had been established, Each of these schools was open to women only. Along with the founding of these women's colleges, the idea of co-education was also rapidly developing. In fact by 1875 several privately maintained and fourteen state universities were opening their doors to women students. In the North as well as in the South, more women were entering industrial and professional fieldsg and the demand for liberal education was constantly increasing although the impetus was not so much that of personal ambition as of necessity. The obstacles to the employment of American women are easily understood. In both the Northern and the Southern states, many people deplored the new freedom of women, or the new departure to give the exact term used. They feared this would mean the loss of true womanliness. The age-old obstacle of tradition seems to have been the most prevalent with such factors as lack of education, lack of employ- ment opportunities, and lack of personal initiative contributing causes. The obstacle of tradition could be overcome only by the success of women in the individual positions which they sought. That they did succeed is evidenced by the progress which they have made. Today, of the five hundred and thirty-five occupations listed in the census of 1930, five hundred and one are open to women. Such occupations as mining and locomotive engineering are still considered to be men's work. Thus during the last one hundred years, women's fields have increased from six to five hundred and one. Women today enter the legal and medical professions, the world of business and politicsg and even activities such as farming, architecture, and aviation are being successfully invaded by women. America has contributed to the world women who were and are outstanding in such fields as literature, acting, education, social s.ervice and philanthropy. Thus the great women whom America has given to the world are living testimonies to the righteousness of their cause in demanding equality in virtually all fields of endeavor. They have proved beyond a doubt that they are as well equipped as men, both mentally and physically, to carry on most of the important jobs in the world today. Equality of women is undoubtedly a great Amergzan contribution to world progress. JEAN MCMAHAN, B12 one hundred forty-seven Gift of American Youth First prize-organization essay-Pierian In 1789, the dream of a handful of men came true. They had come a long way since the days of those first few who, driven from their own lands, settled in America. This dream for which' they worked so hard was the beginning of our government of the United States of America, our first contribution to world progress. We tried out the idea of a government by the people, and found it was a sound and possible plan. 111 spite of difficulties, this new and unheard-of idea of government has succeeded and has lasted for one-hundred-fifty years. When we think of other monarchistic countries, and of how their types of government were and are apt to change with every new ruler, we are still more proud of the success of our plan. So well has it succeeded, in fact, that other countries have used our government as a model and a pattern. In this way, our first step in governing has helped in the formation of similar governments in other nations. They have been inspired to go forward in their progress by our example. Above, I said we tried out the idea g in reality, it should be they, our ancestors. However, we are still experimenting with new plans, discarding some, using others. We, as a nation, are still going forward. The fact that our Constitution can be amended to suit changing conditions shows that we have not stopped our progress, and as long as we continue this improvement, those other nations can prolit by our example. It is true that these countries have surpassed us in some fieldsg but we know that much of the credit, in the beginning, belongs to our United States. Many democratic ideals, present today in other lands, can be traced to our government of the early years when those same ideals were practiced first. From that time on, our country has continu.ed to make such contributions. Our scientists, doctors, inventors, chemists, statesmen, and engineers have done their part in making our country and the world a better and more comfortable place in which to live. The automobile, developed to its present state in the United States, has been very useful in all parts of the world. The telegraph, telephone, and wireless need no explanation of their helpfulness. The .extensive research work done in America by engineers, chemists, and other scientists has be.en exceedingly useful to all the world. These are but .examples of the work that Americans have doneg they are challenges for more and greater inventions, experiments, and developments. Those men who have come before us and those who are still doing such work have truly given their best to the world. The question now is how are we, the youth of America, to continue creating such gifts? We have many good examples before usg but, as always, the situation and the world are changing. New needs are introduced, new problems are to be solved. How are we to supply these needs and solve these problems? We shall not be able to do this until we have supplied the needs and solved the problems at home. We cannot help the world in general unless we ourselves are improved. In fact, by so improving, we aid in solving these general problems. Every time, we remove some obstacle to progress in our own country, the method employed is usually applicable to some other nation or people in the same difliculty. We have a responsibility to see that we continue with this work that others have started. One of our opportunities to do this is possible through the dream of those men who, one-hundred-fifty years ago, struggled toward their goal, namely a representa- tive government. Now we, under this type of government, have the chance to choose our own policy in important matters, the chance to live our own lives in our own ways, the chance to develop our own interests. We ar.e ourselves, with a wonderful opportuni- ty to express our own thoughts and wishes. If only we were to realize this power and its greatness. What can we do through the authority it gives us? We have the duty of preparing ourselves for the time when we shall have a voice in government and when we shall have this country in our hands to guide as we see fit. The way we guide this country will determine what our contribution, that of the America of the future, will be. To become worthy of such a trust, we must start now to train ourselves for that time by observing and learning and by practicing those characteristics of demo- cracy that we should like to see predominant throughout the world. RUTH METRO, B12 one hundred forty-eight To Amelia Earhart First place-lower division poetry-Poetry Club I The ocean indefatigable, Mountains rolling on the wide expanse, White-tipped, eddying, they lift and curl, Moulding the earth b.eneath the whip-lash of the moon. II And somewhere in the deep Is a watery, salt-washed tomb, and you. You, Amelia Earhart, O woman flyer! I wonder what thoughts were coursing through your mind when you ordered contact, and the motor whirled. I wonder what you thought of death-or if you thought of it at all. I wonder if you thought of times all past and gone, Times when you were just plain wife and placed the dishes on the supper tableg Times when your heart was glad, singing, one with the birdsg Or times of suiering, When you held your face and cried into your handsg -Times no on.e else knows of- Times when you hated yourself and felt your friends strangers And strangers all close friends, Times when you watched other flyers with respect and then went out to do greater things than theyg Times when you wanted just to fly and nothing else, but were held by mundane realities. Indeed, what did you want with these, knowing the joy of the strong-pinioned goose flying south? Ind.eed, infected of the wing-germ and the space-germ and the time-germ, what would you want with these? And the ocean shuddered Because you struck her heart. III The sky, how wonderful you must have thought it, Surrounded by the soft-concealing clouds, Away from earth, from dust, from the struggle of flesh, Away from telephone poles smelling of tar, crossing the countryside, from the sagging electric trolley lines, Away from the gas stations and the grease and the smells and th.e buzzing neon signs, Away from the squalor, Away from the ,man-made and the artificial, In the sky with the clouds, Enfolding the infinite, Plaything of God, IV Come, tom-boy, smiling, red-haired, Come, O fluttering autumnal leaf of truth, Seeking for joy and iinding his sister in fameg Seeking th.e infinite, Seeking the inaccessible and the unattainable, Receiving them in death. Come, O splendid flrebrand, Give us of your courage, that strength to iight impossibilities and lose, Ending with one final dart, blind-flung, For the jealous ocean still smarts, Still sobs, still feels its wound. Come, give us of your faults. For without faults, your crowned spirit would be as nothingg Your suffused and glowing body would be as the charred tree and the rotted mold. For faults are the bas.es from which true virtues spring. one hundred forty-nine Come, give us of your spirit, angelic flame, That we might also sing our song with joy long-lost And press our hearts to fame once-won.

A bird yourself with a smile on your lips and a song in your heart, Flying in a true dimension. JOHN EMSHEIMER, B11 Freedom Through Education Second prize-organization essay-Brush and Quill Freedom through Education! Can we realize that those few words are, perhaps, the most important and meaningful words to be spoken in connection with America's Contributions to World Progressn? To the millions beyond each far-reaching body of blue, is not America the symbol of freedom? We should now define our title. In using so comprehensive a term as freedom, we mean here a freedom from the bonds of ignorance, man's freedom from himself and a simplifying of life's problems. By education, we mean both the valuable knowledge available to everyone today, and the exercise and stimulation afforded our minds during the process of acquiring this knowledge. The combination go hand in hand and make it possible to apply the co-ordination between thought and action to our daily lives. Now that we understand the terms, let us look back through the history of the world to see if this freedom through education has held meaning for other peoples of other times. What blood was shed for the right to live lives free from the whip of the slave-trader? The down-trodden men of the first few centuries not only were deprived of a free physical life, but they were actually deprived of the privilege of thinking for themselves. Therefore, it meant that century upon century were to pass on by while whole races suffered. It meant that the body of our nation would be torn apart and the nation's blood spread from border to border. This was the climax, and it was so recent that we are still hearing of the tragedy and hardships of those times. What is lost to us today is the comprehension of the horrors that individuals suffered and endured through the ages with no thought or ray of hope to ease their burdens. When the starved bodies and brains of France marched against the ignorance and selfishness of their leaders, was this not a result of an uneducated and therefore unfeel- ing government? It certainly could not have b.een the result of a free and educated people living the lives God intended for all individuals. It is apparent then that ignor- ance and tyranny cannot survive, and that ignorance and tyranny breed War and revolution, war and revolution, the suprem.e destroyers. How easily We accept this heritage of ours, and how little thought, appreciation, and reverence are accorded it. Our people today are fighting for a freedom. But you question that? You say w.e are free. We are not suppressed by our government, nor are we the subjects of a tyrannous power across the seas. Physically, then, We are free. But this is not all for which our forefathers strove. Their vision spread to far horizons, to the golden era of free thought and man's freedom from himself. Man's brain was not m.eant to be a hindrance to confuse and complicate his life and his methods of achieving his goals. This is true only of the uneducated. The brain which has been exercised and trained in accurate and constructiv.e thinking will not prove a hindrance but will afford the equipment for solving the problems of life. What are the problems of our people today? What were the basic causes of these problems? What part does education play in gaining freedom from them? Major problems confronting our people today are the elimination of poverty and the prevention of illness. The basic causes of these problems are ignorance on the part of the poor and underprivileged, resulting from lack of education, and a lack of concern, due to pre-occupation with their own affairs, on the part of those in a position to help correct these evils. This unconcern is due to lack of education in the realization of the responsibilities concurrent to wealth and advantage. Th'e only cure for our national and personal aches and pains is a thorough education for every individual. This is the only means to afford the equipment for solving the problems of life. Young people today are too ready to look upon th.eir school life and routines as a prison-like existence, restraining them from enjoyment of life. Each one of us should pause in his busy pattern just long enough to fathom the worth and use of each of our classes and even of that regular routine. If we would realize the freedom from stress and care, which we shall have one day, as a result of this education, we would surely come closer to that horizon towards which our forefathers gazed so hungrily. America has proven that stable progress is possible only through fundamental education. She has set sail with an ideal which we, as Americans, must guide safely to the harbor of reality.

His breath Came fast, every muscle in his body was tense and hard, and his l1ps were white Wlih the strain of holding them steady. Slowly, slowly he crawled, inch bytmch, foot by foot, until at last he reach.ed the end of the board. It trembled slightly with his weight, and he closed his eyes, filled with a sick dread. A few feet below him lay the surface of the beautifulhswimming pool. The sun glinted slanting rays of afternoon magic through ripples st1rr.ed by the kiss of some stray breeze. To the outsider, all this would have presented a beautiful scene, but to the boy who clung so desperately to the board, th.e shimmering water might have as well been a pool of blood illuminated at intervals by the brassy glare of lightning, for embedded in the very fiber of his soul was a fear, a ghastly horror of water.' A long time ago, there had occurred an episode which even the soothing sands of time had never been quite able to bury. There had been a huge ship, a veritable floating palace, traveling with her excited cargo on her maiden voyage across the Atlantic. He had been aboard, returning with his governess from school in Switzerlandg and after the shipwreck during those agon- izing days of his absence, the papers had been full of theories concerning what had become of th.e young heir to the Johnson millions. As the ship had struck the rock with the crashing, sickening thud that he would remember to his last breath, he had been hurtled overboard, thrown with hundreds of other passengers into a turbulent sea. He had not known how to swim, but that was only a small cause of this present terror. Grasping a shattered beam, he himself had been comparatively safeg but the memory of the gasping, wet faces, grey with terror and sinking one by one all around him, the memory of this had remained with him all these years. He had seen the water claim its victims, and so he clung now, trembling and nauseated, to the board that to him was a piece of a wrecked boat, tossed on a maddened ocean on a hideous night long ago. At first glance, it may seem that the boy had won his battle on th.e night of the shipwreck simply because he came through alive, but after careful consideration, all of us realize that the minor victory was only the prelud.e to the true fight. For which sort of war do you consider the harder to wage, the quick, decisive battle where it is a question of do or die, or the torturing, long-drawn war, dragging itself through years of weary battle while soldiers once young and strong grow feeble with the stains of battle still drying upon their minds? So it is with the war raging eternally within our own country-not a battle of blood and sword, but for that small r.eason no less a battle, When our forefathers won the gloriously fought Revolution, do you think they dreamed that in so doing they were leaving to their great-great-grandchildren the heritage of an even greater battle, one that we too shall hand down to our children's children? For just as the waters had been conquered by the boy in his first encounter, so had oppression been conquered by our ancestors. But has the boy's struggle ended with that first preliminary tilt? And was America's struggle for freedom climaxed by victory in the Revolution? Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, the right to assemble-can you picture American life without these liberties? The founders of this country fought hard and desperat.ely for those principles, for they believed them necessary for the happiness of their people. But unless we are the kind of soldiers who can grow old fighting a never-ending battle, we had better become accustomed to getting along without these qualities. Qan you not see my meaning? The very fact that America employs these mighty principles, believes that her people cannot be happy without freedom of expression, opens a broad horizon to hostile ideals--ideals of bloodshed and oppression of the minority: Are we to sit by and watch while all that has been so nobly and so painfully won perlshes beneath our very eyes? We must not, and we cannot. This is not an abstract, remote struggle, but one that affects each little boy trudging to his free public school, each person who casually switches on his radio for that political broadcast, each proud parent who hopes to see his son on the iirst string football team at college, rather than in a front line trench, with the haggard eyes of an old man so mistakenly placed in the face of a boy. But neither can we close our minds to all suggestions for improvement. As some- one once said, blind contentment such as this is too closely intermingled with stagna- tion. We must have new ideas, new standards to fit an ever changing world, for in the most nearly perfect government there is always need for improvement. Our problem is not to ignore completely, but to choose wisely, from the wealth of suggestion thrust upon us. D May.God give us the inspiration, the wisdom, the courage and the endurance to triumph in our struggle to retain and to glorify America's contribution to life itself-our blessed, blessed liberty. VALERIE STABLER, B12 one hundred fifty-five The West--Symbol of Progress Second place-lower division essay The circle of civilization has now been completed since the latest lands to be settled lie on the Pacific Ocean. Just a short distance across the Water lies the oldest civilization, China, connected by the modern, smooth flying clipper ships which have forged the last link of the mighty chain. Only think what changes have been wrought by man within the circle of progress, changes that have developed from the simple desires of early times to the higher and finer ideals of living. Desires for Life, Liberty and Happiness, which were in earlier times incentives for the trek around the earth, today provide a challenge to science. Our country with its beginnings on the eastern coast has spread west through the necessity for new lands, free lands, richer lands. Having exhausted land frontiers, now the new frontiers of modern ideas of science and the arts await development. The west need not mean a direction by which to guide ships and caravans, but rather may it stand as a symbol of the development of a nation, a people, a form of government, the casting off of the yoke of oppression and fear, the establishment of a continual moral and spiritual growth, the Ideals of America. The circle of our civilization has been definitely completed by this westward move- ment of peoples for the acquisition of new lands. The old imperialistic idea of obtaining land, however, has not continued in our country but is still alive in Europe. The constant bickering, carried on between early tribes of people, shows itself in that whole nations fight, conquer, suppress, and subjugate. Hence, the present situation is as it exists in the Old World today. The savage hordes swarming over Europe seizing, plundering, burning, and destroying during dark ages, were a nomadic barbarous people. Later, however as they settled down into communities, their numbers increased, and the need for more territory became not only desirable but a necessity. The boundaries expanded until the smaller countries were dissolved and taken in by stronger, greedier races. The closeness with which these tribes were living to each other tended to aggravate hatred and enmity. Oppression first by one country and then by another caused each territory to distrust and fear the others. In every case, survival of the fittest and might makes right seemed to be the general code of living. Today, these same ideals are definitely pres.ent in certain dictatorships abroad. A totally different picture presents itself as we inspect the American continents, completely isolated by several thousand miles of water. Up to the time of its discovery, North America was relatively uninhabited, so many were the miles that lay between the tribes of primitive Indians. Yet after colonization had begun, necessity again mov.ed the people to seek better lands in the West. The colonists upon leaving the old lands and old ideas of oppnession, motivated by the desire for freedom, moved West, bringing about the birth of a new country and a new form of government. We may suppose that America, hard to reach, difficult to obtain and keep, fitted into a plan, a Divine Plan, in which the oppressed, sickened, and weakened peoples of Europe might meet as brothers in the common quest of equality, giving birth also to those ideals which today MAKE America. Not only did the pioneers offer mighty moral contributions to the rest of the world, but material and scientific contributions as well. The scientific discoveries of the United States have made happier and wealthier people here, and raised living conditions abroad. When the strongest nations or the earth, striving toward the betterment of living standards, are being handicapped and tied, their great scientists driven into exile, books burned, and knowledge destroyed, those once-strong countries can but become weak, begin to totter. Progress is being blocked where systems of dark ages are still employed. The walls of blindness are effectually shutting out the light of unbiased research and discovery in Germany and other countries, now feeling the pressure of dictator- ship upon them. But in this country, thought is still free, knowledge is still sought. Many schools in America .exemplify a, NEW world of expansion, a world that embraces science, art, culture, peace, and equality. To mention only one such school, The California Institute of Technology finds its great significance in the complete freedom for the furtherance of knowledge. Cal Tech truly typifies progress and the most modern m.ethods of scientific research. Founded in the West, though young, it sends forth men into the east to teach, to urge, and to inspire, thereby it completes the circle of scientific progress. These men are among the greatest scientists in the world. The new frontier of modern ideas has developed great contributions in men, materials, artistic, and cultural standardsg yet the greatest contribution of all lies in the spirit of America and her people. The ideals which have been developed here, are America. And they stand as a link of a chain binding the people of the world to- gether. As long as our faces and hearts are turned toward the West, symbol of Progress, the circle of civilization shall not be broken.

Oh moon of two masks, You who smile and frown upon the earth beneath Which is the stage for puppets, You are the symbol of liie and death, Wearily watched by the audience of stars. Two worlds you look upon with disdain, Two separate plays, one of hate and hell, Of pain and misery, The other of rhythmic dancers, whirling and turning, Seeking new steps to learn. Gray iloodlights cast horrible shadows, Rolling hills and valleys are now Pluto's domain, Once filled with life and love. A screaming cry, the blood flows red and Warm, Then absorbed by the pitying earth, the work of the brain's hideous curse. O moon of two masks, - Etched in the heart of every man, In every vein are the flowing words, Faith and honor are life, And that is what they die for, an ideal. And from that ground, a passing breeze Sends the age-worn message To the happy, waiting one, far on the distant horizon, Westward where Democracy casts out its rays To grasp the hate and burn it until it is no more. O moon of two masks, smile upon us as you now Change your grim countenance: Pe united, unravel our puppet strings dog While the audience of stars watches with new hopeg If not, O God, let the curtain fall!

MARGARET TETER, B12 Spreading the Doctrine of Democracy First place-lower division essay The beginning of democracy does not come from revolution but from a change in the beliefs of mankind. It comes not through conscious eEort but through necessity, as the conviction, that every person has the right to the opportunity to make his own contri- bution to his country grows. But to enable him to have the freedom of contribution he must also have freedom of opportunity and freedom of discussion. Deep rooted in the hearts of Englishmen, who are our common ancestors, is the belief that all men have certain natural rights which are their common heritage. In a true democracy, these rights are recognized and guaranteed by the supreme law of the land. These laws, while recognizing the freedom of the individual to develop his talents, to express his opinions, and to vote independently, do not permit him to injure his neighbor, to exploit the helpless and the underprivileged, or to ignore those laws which are neces- sary for the orderly conduct of human society. Sometimes it is said, spoke Thomas Jefferson in his first inaugural address, that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question. In history, we can indeed find the answer. Many of the democracies of the world are now falteringg some have failed. They no doubt sometimes make mistakes, but even the futile democratic endeavors are worth the cost. I would not exchange the freedom of democracy for th.e most eiiicient system of autocratic government possible because history's long course is strewn with the cruel reign of dictators and tyrants. President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said that only by raising the standard of living of the masses can we pres.erve democracy in the United States. Democracy has brought into the lives of the common man, many enjoyments of our advancing civili- zation, among which are a higher standard of living, increased education for both adults and children, and protection of his health, property, and life. This form of governm.ent not only secures for the populace advantages in routine living, but also gives privileges that at one time were only enjoyed by kings. But, true to the democra- tic ideal, the hours of labor of the common man are shortenedg and amusem.ents and diversions are brought to him. A government is not only an agency through which the people are ruled, but is an intelligent medium through which th.eir welfare may be guarded and guided, since the average citizen is given opportunity and power to redress his own wrongs. The voice of the most humble voter carries as much weight as the most influential in ballot box. This ideal was promulgated by President Lincoln when he defined democracy to be the government of the p.eople, by the people, and for the people. In its origin and for many centuries, government has been for the powerful and by the powerful. It neglected to take into consideration th.e rights of minorities and opinions of others than the mighty. From this enigma came the birth of democracy, embodying in its spirit, the restriction of selfishness of mass and class, giving heed to the call of minorities and the oppressed that they might not again be trampled. Surely, a government possessing ideals of this kind should be preserved, caring not what the rest of the world may give way to in the form of proletarian or dictatorial policies. Some persons, in advocacy of streamlined government, shrilly decry the ineffi- ciency of democracy upon the proposition that it acts too slowly, and is unable to cope with our fast-moving, modern existence. Part of such arguments must be granted: but balancing the scales on the other hand, is the fact that fewer errors are made by an administration that has had an opportunity to think each issue to its logical conclusiong such government, after fairly weighing the questions, can then proceed in a thorough and systematic manner to eradicate inefficiencies when they become apparent. Inherent in human nature are certain frailties and weaknesses, perfection is impossible. However, it is my opinion, that better individuals and better societies will emerge from democratic disciplines than from those derived from dictatorships and totalitarianism. Democracy is not a fadg it is a world ideal. It has made more people happy, useful, and decent than any other form of government ever established by man. There will be failures and successes in it again, but the ideal of a people's government cannot die. Democracy is the very embodiment of human hope.

Artillery boomed incessantly, and shells whined overhead. Soldiers, clad in the mud-spattered khaki of the American Expeditionary Force, huddled on the tire step of the front-line trench. Oiiicers stared tens.ely at their watches, ticking off the precious seconds. Suddenly, a terrible silence! Then, the silence was broken by the sharp blast of whistlesg and the men swarmed up the scaling ladders and out into no-man's land. A curtain of thunderous artillery Hre preceded them. One of the soldiers suddenly staggered, dropped to his knees, and tumbled into a shell-hole. He lay there for a few minutes, clutching at his bleeding legs, and listening to the terrific din of the guns, the screams of the dying, and the yells of the charging soldiers. A slow drizzle had begun. He sprawled in his muddy haven, cold and wet. Another wave of soldiers was passing. Suddenly, a machine gun clattered veno- mously, and a limp form toppled into the shell-hol.e, hit in a dozen places by the bullets. The form moved its head, then lay still. The wounded private thought. He thought of his home, of his mother, and of his childhood days. The machine gun rattled againg the bullets cracked overhead. The sol- dier remembered reading in a book somewhere, seemingly ages ago, of the invention of the machine gun. He remembered that it was created by an American, Hiram Maxim. Curse him, thought the private, for having invented such an instrument of des- struction as that awful gun. It can cut down ranks of soldiers like the scythe of death. As if in answer, the gun again rattled, spattering earth into the crater. Then, the doughboy heard a rumbling, clanking sound, coming from the direction of the American trenches. He saw a tank, spitting fire and death, come waddling across the mushy earth. Dragging himself painfully up the sides of the crater, he observed a wounded enemy sergeant, lying in the tank's path. This sergeant clutched at his rifle, fired at the tank. At this futile effort, the Yankee turned away and shuddered. He heard a. terrible scream, then an awful crunching sound as the iron monster moved on. Tremb- ling, he slid back into the crater. He thought of the steam fortress used in the Civil War, puny compared to the tank. He remembered also the invention of the automobile by the American, Duryea. He knew that the combination of these two inventions had grown into the juggernaut th'at had just clanked past him. The wounded soldier looked up. High in the gray sky was a group of airplanes, which abruptly changed course and commenced a long dive toward the earth. The doughboy could see now, by their insignia, that these aircraft belonged to the enemy. Like hawks, diving to the kill, they streaked earthward. The Yank attempted to flat- ten himself against the wall of the shell-hole as the black avengers pulled out of their maneuver, with guns blazing. Bullets riddled the mud as the planes shot by, overhead. The body on the opposite side of the crater j.erked and shuddered. He remembered a cold, bleak morning of 1903, on Kill Devil Hill, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. On that morning, a strange machine, looking unlike a box-kite, ros.e from the ground, and iiew a few yards. This had been the first flight of a power-driven, controlled airplane in the history of the world. Another enemy plane howled by. Th.e private thought to himself, Has the Wright Brothers' seemingly great inven- tion evolved itself into this devilish thing? After the battle had ended, the enemy had been driven backg the process of taking back the dead and wounded began. Two stretcher-bearers lifted our doughboy into their conveyance and commenced to carry him to a waiting ambulance, back of the lines. The man holding the rear end of the stretcher was talking to the one in front. Yeh, he drawled, we shore have done a lot for the world. America's made it a better place to live in. The soldier who lay on the stretcher discreetly smiled. The stretcher-bearers car- ried on. turned a corner in the trench, and disappeared. STANLEY GRAMLICH. B10 one hundred sixty-seven Above the Shadow A shadow lies across the world, That stretches endlessly, And underneath it, souls of men Are crying to be free. The monster, War, is loose again Scattering seeds of hate With countries arming in their fear, Greed for its tempting bait. Distrusting, humans eye each other With questions in their eyes, Guns in their hands, and close ahead Death, black and clutching, lies. An unsure civilization falters And wavers to and fro While tiny men, with souls stripped bare, Await the start of the show. Across the ocean, white and free, America, shameless, stands, With freedom spread like a challenge rare Watching these blood-stained lands. Her ideals hoisted with her Hag, Untouched and holy still, Her people sobered, but content To let those others kill, A great democracy, though young, Her people now are wise, And she holds not a lasting grudge, But gazes with truthful eyes. The greed of other nations spreads But touches not this land VVh.ere freedom of speech, and worship Go peacefully hand in hand. Above the chaos far below, America rises clean, And wars of hate, and wars of greed From this proud height are seen- She stands, a great example, To a world that has lost its way, And as that great ,example God grant-she'll always stay! ofG CONNIE Shadows We stood and faced the setting sung Our day was over, our work was done. We paused to gaze upon the scene Of purple hills and Iields of green: Splendid buildings, mighty and high, Their faces gleaming against the sky. We felt a darkness shade our faces. Our minds were turned to other places Where famine, ruin, struggle, strife Have no regard for human life. The Are once gay cities we have seen crushed beneath the war machine. But life goes on,-a ghastly life- The thought runs through us like a knife. Gas masks, air raids, bombing planes! Disaster! Terror! Death now reigns. Then above the din and roar The darkness seemed to lift once more. How momentous is the part we play, Calmly to stand until the day When guns and cannon cease their fireg And men from tnenches will retire. Onlv then our challenge rings, For them, we must aid to nobler things. Oh, keep us, God, from the tyrant hand, Preserve this peace upon our land! od CARHART, B10 JOAN WORTHINGTON, A12 one hundred sixty-eight Mwpfij WJWW- MMMMW' vr' W Wwdfjrrf sumo!

At the stern of the boat, she could see the billowyfpazth of foam, contrasting sharply with the deep blue of the sea made by the ship as 'itgplowed through the water. Kathryn was returning to the place from which she had triedito escape a few months before, returning to America and what it stood for, in her cold blue eyes were boredom and dullness, the daily humdrum of ev.eryday life. Pulling out her compact. she thought, society will have a good laugh over the fact that Kathryn Ramsey, who in a statement to the press announced that she was going somewhere to find a little excitement. When Europe had becom.e filled with war-clouds, .Kathryn had turned to run homeg not that she had wanted to, nog she still dreaded her arrival and the uninteresting days before her. How war upsets one's plans! It was most annoying. V Kathryn's thoughts were interrupted. Wasn't that a child sobbing? Oh, well, it wasn't her worry, th.e mother would take care of him. She returned to-her position at the rail. That child...would it never stop that heart-broken monotone? Placing her hands on her hips, she whirledlaround. 1 It is somewhere near,-hei:e,'i fshe muttered, pacing the deck twice before she halted. There in a corner near the engineer's quarters, a boy about eight years old was curled up in a knot, crying. f 2' - ' g Hey, fella, Kathryn put an arm about his narrow shoulders in a motherly fashion. What is troubling you? Come on, you can tell me all about it. She sat down, lifting him into a comfortabl.e position on her lap. He put his dark curly head in the hollow of her shoulder and continued his sobbing. . That's all right, young one. You go ahead and get it out of your systemg it will do you good. , A A few minutes later, he sat up with his starry black eyes lookingrright through her. Kathryn pulled a clean handkerchief out of her pocket' and wiped his eyes and his nose. Now then, are you ready to tell me all about it, fella? He nodded. Then in one rush of words in his native tongue, he poured his heart out to Kathryn. , Whoa, whoa there, half-pint. I haven't understood a word you've said. Can't you speak English?,' Yes, little bit. My mother and father, I don't know where they are. He held his little chin high. We hav.e been sent to America. Who is we, dear? Some other children and I. Oh lady, I want to go home. My country, she is beautiful. My mother and my father, and my little brothers, I, I,- Two tears fell, but he brushed them away with a grubby hand. ' I am afraid to be in Am.erica alone. My father, he say I am a big man, and I mus' be brave. I always want to come to America, my mother and father, they talk about coming one day. But I don't want to see it without my parents. I am alone. I have nobody to go to but a relative to whom I am being sent and who I don't knowf' Kathryn was at a loss for words. She pulled the boy gently to her as she started to speak, And she was amazed at the words that came. Fella. Everyone who lives in America has a dear and good friend, one who gives you an education, offers you many opportunities that you don't get anywhere else. He allows you to think as you please, to read, and to speak, and to believe as you wish. The small boy sat up and watched Kathryn fixedly as she went on, He will see that you are well-clothed and fed, that you receive an education, that you have lots of time to play. That friend to all, dear, is your Uncle Sam. Rapture and anticipation replaced the fear in the child's eyes. He scrambled to his feet in anxiety to go back to his small friends. She watched him scamper down the deck to the stairs and disappear from sight. X The following morning, Kathryn, standing at the rail where she had stood before her talk with the young refugee, thought over all that had taken place between the two. Had it really been she, Kathryn Ramsey, speaking? When the boat pulled into the harbor and th.e Statue of Liberty stood before her, Kathryn felt a thrill sweep over her she had never before experienced. America She smil.ed. Somehow it was exciting, thrilling to be coming home. BETTY HUSE, A11 one hundred seventy-three S S America, the Light of the World Tmra place-upper division essay America is a brilliant, gleaming light before the world. She is to men the world over, a shining example of fre.edom, inspiration, liberty under law, equality, self-expres- sion, and wonderful opportunities for abundant happiness. She offers to all her citizens an opportunity for great personal freedom and liberty, an opportunity to attain the fullest measure of individual happiness. America provides every citizen with the step- ping stone to his social and political goals, with the foundation for all progress and preservation, a public education for each and every one within her boundaries. The early pioneers realiz.ed this importance of education when they established free public schools in New England. They sensed that the success and advancement of their young colonies, whose ideal was to insure freedom to th.eir men and women, depended on the wisdom of their people. Our present day advanced and complicated system of education has developed from the crude, one-room school-house of those early colonies. In the beginning, the principal teaching, consisting of the three 'tR's, was very elementary. As the nation has advanced and progressed so widely in science, invention, art, and literature, the curriculum has become more varied and the training more specific and advanced. This modern education has necessitated the establishment of well-equipped colleges and universities throughout th'e nation and the construction of adequate elementary schools and high schools for American youth everywhere. In her onward march, America has realized that knowledge in itself cannot be the whole of progress. The only tru.e progress in the world is brought about by goodwill among men who are educated thinkers. No progress is attained by the massacre of human beings, by the ruthless pillaging of cities, and by the thoughtless destruction of fine buildings, of beautiful pictures, of priceless libraries and museums. Surely, this is not progress! Truely, progress is not made by the destruction of progress! However, the vast amount of real progress made by America under her worthy ideal of freedom, equality, and liberty can be disputed by no one. During the last one hundred and fifty years, America has reached a greater degree of social advancement and material comfort than is shown in any other nation. Although, today, she covers only six per cent of the world's entire area and possesses only seven per cent of its population, she uses almost one-half of the total world consumption of tin, rubber, silk, sugar, pig iron, crude oil, petroleum, coifee, coal, and other essential raw materials. Moreover, this is not nearly the extent of her progress. She operates sixty per cent of all telephone and telegraph facilities in the world. She has a greater purchasing power than any other country. The spread of her public education is greater than any before in history. She possesses more doctors, dentists, engineers, and other professional groups per capita than any other country. More of her children are in grade schools and high schools, and her standard of literacy is higher than that of any other world power. Nowhere is the luxury, speed, and comfort of her transportation equaled. Her innumerable public benefits as libraries, parks, playgrounds, and beaches cannot be surpassed anywhere else in the world. During the last one hundred years she has led the world in invention, giving it th.e telegraph, telephone, electric light, mechanical harvesting, and many other worthwhile benefits. Surely, it is indeed remarkable that America, having only seven per cent of th.e world's people, should make such wonderful progress in the last one hundred and fifty years. Her people have not worked longer h'ours than those of Europe and Asia. They have no more physical strength than those abroad. Her natural resources are no better than those of Asia or Africa. What, then, is responsible for such marvellous progress? Again is seen that clear, shining light which America holds before the world, that ideal of freedom and equality, which is the root of such advancement. Such progress could only be made by fr.ee, educated, happy men and women whose education has developed their initiative, perfected th.eir skill, inspired their ambition, and quickened their brains. This ideal, this priceless light, should be truly an inspiration to all nations and prove to be an influence on all people. Americafs youth must see that such progress endures and that her shining exampl.e continues to glow brilliantly. Youth must carry on the true American spirit of ambition, opportunity, equality, freedom, and happiness and make these qualities secure for the generations to come. This security can only be reached by the proper, beneficial education of all. Education is her defense against propaganda, against dicta- torship and against censorship. While countries throughout the world are building up their military forces, America must continually build up and re-arm her educational forces. This education raises men above the beasts of the fields and gives them definite moral rights and social duties which must be accepted and fulfilled. America's priceless gift of public education makes her citizens brave, hopeful, and Wise men and women with an opportunity for their sons and daughters to reach untold heights of success.

All over the world radio sets were being turned on. All over the world people were anxiously awaiting a speech that would perhaps go down in history. All over the world people waited, not knowing what to expect, hoping, yet fearing. Thirty million people in the United States listened when the man with the mustache first spoke. Thirty million people, filled with strangely varied emotions, listened to their radios, heard words unfamiliar to their ears, perhaps destined to change the course of civilization. Harold Brown, his wife, and son listened quietly but somewhat haplrazardly. It is probable that the eldest Brown was thinking of the more important matters down at the office. To him, the man with the mustache was some foreigner, thousands of miles away who was always raising some kind of fuss about one thing or another. Let him rave and rant if he wanted to. What really mattered was who was going to get those letters mailed down at the office. Those were mighty important letters. If they weren't mailed, the firm might lose the contract with one of the biggest concerns in the city. What was the translator saying? If my demands are not recognized, it must mean war! Well, here was another thought, war. He wondered if this leader were bluffing. After all, war is a mighty big thing. But why should he worry, he asked himself chidingly, when the United States was not going to get into any War? It had learned its lesson once. Those nations across the sea would take care of this fellow on the radio, still spouting gunpowder phrases. The mother looked up from her knitting. If my demands are not recognized, it must mean war! She glanced over at her son, and a shadow crossed her eyes. War! She re- membered 1917 and how that war had cruelly taken her brother. There must not be another. She glanced again at her son and saw in his eyes the glow she had dreaded to see. If there were another war, perhaps he might be-. She shuddered. But yet, if that war were to be fought now, when he was only fourteen, it would probably be over before he could enlist. Her eyes went again to the boy. She saw his fists clench and his jaws tighten. Yes, if it had to be, the war must be now! And she selfishly prayed for war. A few miles away, the voice of the man with the mustache was given a great deal more respect and appreciation than that previously shown. Walter Von Uldensohmidt recognized the voice, not as an impersonal foreign critic, but rather as an enthusi- astic follower and worshiper. He heard him say, If my demands are not recognized it must mean war! and inwardly he cried, Bravo! There was a man who knew what he wanted and took it! The feeling of power and force in the man's voice filled him, lifted him to a new plane, made him feel that there was the true reality. Here in the precepts of power and force, all else was reduced to nothing. Here he was to do this manis work, with this tower of strength behind him to aid him in his work. And if he were successful, thousands of others would believe, must believe as he did, would know that beside the power and strength of his God, all else was nothing. The fools! Why did they not give him what he wanted. Some day he'd have the world by the heels, yes, the Unit.ed States included! Someday he'd-. But wait, the voice was continuing. The man sat in rapt silence, listening. Wholly different from the emotions thus far described were those of Hermann Schultz, newly-arrived in the United States. To him, an outcast from this foreign nation, the voice was symbolic of tyranny and hate. To him, that voice was remindful of years of misery and persecution. And to him that voice recalled the gratitude, the immeasurable gratitude he felt at being in the United States. He had been here three months now. He had seen in this short time the amazing difference. Where before he had spoken in whispers, here he could talk and laugh! Where before he had read nothing but propaganda, now he read everything, unbiased news, the finest free thought in books. Where before he had not dared to worship God as he saw fit, now he rejoiced in a long unknown freedom. This was indeed, he reflected, a king- dom of God. one hundred seventy-nine fl 'N Nfl El 'INA And still that voice continued. Why was he listening? He didn't know. Probably, he thought, that he might laugh at all his old fears. But he was too sober, and the situation was much too serious for that, for still there were millions over there such as he, who were subjected to the hate and despotism he h'ad known. He shuddered. It was strange, he thought, that even thousands of miles away, free, he had again felt that old icy fear clutch at his heart, the same fear which he had formerly known so often, which he was now able to throw off. Here he was free. Here he could think and act as he pleased. He turned off the radio with a surge of inward joy. Here, thank God, he would stay! The next morning, a Mr. Brown went to his oiiice to take up the all-important work of the day, a Mr. Uldenschmidt went downtown to plan a meeting, a Mr. Schultz walked the streets looking for a job. And above them all, iioated the American Hag. ALLAN ARMER, B12 The Heart of America f My arms are strong to do the wishes of my heart, My heart is made of gold and granite.

HERBERT WHITE Head of Bays' Athletics Los Angeles High School is fortunate in having, as members of its gym staff, some of the finest coaches of athletics in the city. The h.ead of the Roman athletic department is Mr. Herbert White. To know Mr. White and to work with him is indeed a privilege for, besides being an . authority on most sports, Mr. White possesses a sense of fairness and main- tains a code of ethics high above the aver- age. Mr. White is a graduate of Indiana's Earlham College. There he earned letters in football, baseball, basketball, and track and still found enough time to become a physical education instructor and pro- fessor of history. Each spring, Mr. White produces a baseball team that, more often than not, heaps laurels on the proud Roman head. Mr. Bert LaBrucherie and Mr. Carl Brown learned the technique of coaching football teams to victory at the University of Calif- ornia at Los Angeles. Both were members of UCLA's Big C societyg and Mr. Brown, although playing a line position, made the first touchdown that U.C.L.A. scored in their first victory over a Pacific Coast Conference team. Mr. Horace Bresee also claims U.C.- L.A. as his alma mater. While in college, Mr. Bresee excelled in both football and basketballg and here at Los Angeles High his main job is turning out winning B football and basketball teams. Track was the specialty of Mr. Homer Graves while attending Doan College in Nebraska. Dur- ing his college days, Mr. Graves held the inter-collegiate record for the 100 yard dash, which he ran in 9.9 seconds. To Mr. Grav.es falls the task of turning Roman tracksters into championship material. The Roman varsity basketball team has been, for many years, under the guidance of Mr. A. Hem- sath. While attending the George Williams College in Chicago, Mr. Hemsath earned letters in both football and basketball and also became an expert in gymnastics. The Roman gym club, together with the basket- ball team, is under Mr. Hemsath's super- vision. Final regular member of the gym staff is Mr. Elmer Crumly. Mr. Crumly at- tended Whittier College before the World War, later he became a member of the student body of the University of Chicago. While at Whittier, Mr. Crumly received letters in football and trackg at Chicago, he supervised playground athletics. All of ROID6,S aquatic teams are coached by him. Not regular members of the gym de- partment because they conduct academic classes, but important to their individual teams, are Mr. Philo Chambers, cross- country coachg Mr. Harmon Baldwin, C basketball coach, Mr. H, Lea, tennis coach, and Mr. Curtis Fisher, graduate of Los Angeles High, coach of C football. one hundred ninety-eight v-Q-uf Yell Leaders Okay, gang, let's go-the ALI BEVO!

Thousands of mighty Romans, led by Louis Shore, George Pappas, and Irving Shatz, paid court to King Football and cheered Rome's varsity eleven on to the Western League Championship. It takes more than a good football team to win a championshipg it takes School Spirit with a capital S ! And what is more, it requires three good yell leaders to arouse that school spirit. All of L. A. High owes a vote of thanks to these three boys. Louis Shore, senior yell leader, has served for two yearsg George Pappas has worn his yell leader sweater for three yearsg and Irving Shatz is in his initial year. Much color has been added to the between-half-period by the decorative card stunts designed by John Caldecott and executed by Marshall Paxton and Bob McClean. Long will L. A. remember these amazing card stunts and the lasting eiect they had on the crowd. To these boys, too, L. A. owes a vote .of appreciation.

It was a thrilling encounter which closed with the score Los Angeles 6-Hollywood 0. Throughout this game, Los Angeles's linemen were opening gigantic holes in Hollywood's line through which the famous Los Angeles stars, Bud Searby, Jack Fellows, and Allan Hoisch, successfully gained 190 yards to Holl d' ' ' ywoo s 76. Our eleven first downs, in contrast to the Sheiks' two, accounted for our gain in yardage. In the third quarter, our team marched on a sustained drive of 66 yards to pay territory. We scored on the fourth down when Jack Fellows passed 6 yards to Al Giorgis, who made a spectacular catch and dove over the goal line in coiiin corner for the lone tally of the day.

ROMANS 13-PATHFINDERS 0 The fighting Romans hammered out their third straight victory in defeating Fremont and wound up their series of practice games with a perfect record. Until the end of the game, the Pathfinders held the distinction of being the only team the Los Angeles High School had never defeated. Los Angeles conclusively showed by the score of 13-O that our boys played good defensive and offensive football even though rated at that time as the underdog by the leading sports writers. Late in the first quarter, a 36 yard drive by the Romans put the ball on the one yard line where Jack Fellows lunged through right tackle on the fourth down to make the score 6-0. Carter split the uprights on the conversion. Shortly after our kick off in the second quarter. Joe Wolf jumped from a crouching position to intercept a pass that was screaming across the scrimmageg and the Romans took the ball on their own 43 yard line. In eleven plays, the Romans had their second touchdown when Searby went over from the one foot line to make the score 13-0. Led by left-half Jack Fellows and full-back Bud Searby, the Romans rolled up a total of 259 yards to 136 and registered 17 first downs to 12 by the Pathfinders. The Blue and White machine played a hard charging game and showed at this time that the boys were ready for their Western League Campaign. two hundred four Y-tw 1 ROMANS 20-WARRIORS 0 The first league encounter with University netted the fighting Romans a 20 to 0 victory. Even though noticeably out-rushed and out-gained by the Warriors in the first half, our team came back in the third quarter and literally ripped the Unihi linemen to shreds. Featuring a 20 yard jaunt by Bud Searby and a beautiful 36 yard broken field run by Jack Fellows, Los Angeles High made the first touchdown. Searby bucked over for the extra point. At the beginning of the fourth chapter, Los Angeles's eleven drove to the 2 yard line where, on the third down, Searby fumbled. The ball rolled into the end zoneg and after much scrambling for the ball, .lack Fellows recovered giving us another 6 points. Harrison Carter added the extra point making the score 14-0. Late in the game, Fellows broke away around end behind a wave of interference for 56 yards and our final touchdown. Carter's attempted placement was blocked.

Harrison Carter again added the extra point. The third quarter found Los Angeles's flashy back, Jack Fellows, rifling short passes to Giorgis and Hoisch. On the last down, Fellows passed to Giorgis from the Don's five yard line for another touchdown. Carter, for the third time, converted. Two passes put Dorsey in position for their first trip to pay dirt. Schneider went over from the 1 yard line for the first touchdown. A pass from Gustafson to Morgan, good for 29 yards, gave Dorsey her other score. In the fourth quarter, Allan Hoisch ran the kickoff back 45 yards and two plays later scored on a 40 yard run through the entire Don defense for Rome's final score. The conversion was blocked. Throughout the game, Los Angeles linemen and backs blocked exceptionally well. two hundred six Marienthal guard ROMANS 13-COLONIALS 7 In one of the most thrilling football games ever played at Gilmore Stadium, the Roman gridders, for the second consecutive time, fought down the battering attack of the flashy, hard driving Colonial eleven, to win by a score of 13 to 7. To Bob Donnelley goes the credit for playing one of the iinest games at guard that has been seen on any local prep gridiron this season. Play after play, Donnelley was the fifth man in the Fairfax backfieldg and time and again, he broke up plays and threw the Colonial backs for great losses. The beginning of the third quarter found Fairfax in possession of the ball. On the third down Harrison, the Colonial flash, picked his way to the scrimmage line and leaped into the air to rifle a short pass to a waiting receiver. At this point, Donnelley charged through the line and tackled him. The ball squirted from Harrison's hands and iiipped into the air. Marshall Paxton, Roman end, taking advantage of this golden opportunity, snagged the ball and streaked down the sidelines into the end 'zone to net Los Angeles six points. Carter, one of the leading converters in the city, kicked the goal making the score 7 to 0. When Los Angeles players fumbled on their own 26 yard line, with only a few minutes left to play, Fairfax mustered all its available resources, to try to turn this unexpected break into a touchdown. Six plays later, Harrison carried the ball over from the one inch line. Not to be out done by this Colonial attack, the Roman eleven unleashed an offensive drive that was good for 64 yards. Featuring passes by Fellows and runs by Hoisch, Los Angeles's last minute spurt to victory ended in a touchdown when Bud Searby crashed over the goal from the one yard line. Searby runs interference for Hoisch through the Colonial line.

The transformation of last season's reserves, most of whom had never before played any real prep football, into one of the most spirited, liveliest of Roman varsity elevens, was a metamorphosis that every Roman watched with keen and vivid interest. Whether or not this team was of the best of Roman machines that has played for Los Angeles is a question that well may be disputedg but certainly undisputed and uncontested remains the fact that this eleven had more lighting spirit and more of that determin- ation to win than any Roman team in many years. The opening game of the season was a practice tilt with the Hollywood Sheiks. A 6 to 0 victory over them and an easy 19 to 0 win over a comparatively weak Washing- ton High team gave the Roman varsity the self confidence which they needed to meet Fremont in the iinal practice game. Entering the game as under-dogs, the Roman team proved, by loutplaying the Fremont Pathiinders, both olfensively and defensively, that they were on their way to a second consecutive Western League title. The Hnal score of the game was 13 to 0. An over-rated Unihi eleven proved to be easy foil for the Romans in their first Western League competition. Although the game was closely contested in the tirst half, the Los Angeles High varsity showed superiority in the last two chapters and ended the game with a 20 to 0 victory, one point over the last season's score of 19 to 0. The Dorsey Dons were the second Western Leaguers to meet the Roman machine. The game, which was played on Housh Field, was packed with thrills and excitement. Proving to be much stiffer competition than anyone had expected, the Dons scored twice on a here-to-fore unscored upon Roman team. Four Roman touchdowns and three conversions, compared to the 14 points of Dorsey, gave Los Angeles a 27 to 14 win. I B. La BRUCHERIE ? W The big game of the season, the annual Roman-Colonial fracas, came mid-way in the Roman schedule. Since 1930, when competition between Los Angeles High and Fairfax began, each' team has won alternating gamesg and in accordance with this nine year old tradition, 1939 was to bring forth a Colonial victory. The 13 points of the Romans, compared to the 7 points of the Colonials, proved that Rome had no regard for the spell which, up to this time, had not been broken. Regardless of the score, it may well be said that some of the finest prep football played during the 1939 season was played in this game. A victory over Hamilton in the next to the last game of the season clinched the Western League title for the Romans. It was a spunky Hamilton team that fought valiantly that day, but the spectacular broken field running of Al Hoisch proved to be too much for themg and they bowed to their Roman con- querors, defeated by a score of 20 to 0. The final game of the season was a fateful one, for the Venice Gondoliers took the mighty Romans for a very rocky boat ride and defeated them by a score of 19 to 13. As there were no city play-offs this year, the Roman season ended with the Venice tilt. It was a very successful Roman season and one that truly proved the ability of Coaches Bert La Brucherie and Carl Brown, Theirs was a hard task but obviously one well done for again this year Los Angeles High may boast of a Western League foot- ball championship.

Gaining momentum after early season injuries, the Bees finished the season undefeated, but were tied by Venice. The Romans opened their season with a victory over Hollywood, 12 to 0. In the second practise game, the team traveled to Hoover High where they won 6 to 0. The League opener was played against Univer- sity. In the first quarter, Tochioka, star B back, crossed the goal line to give the Romans an early lead. As this touchdown was the lone tally of the game, the final score was Romans 6 and University O. This victory was a costly one for the team lost the services of Tochioka and Mureyama for a week. Against Dorsey, Rome scored in the first quarter on a pass from Griffiths to Eversoll, Dorsey drove back in the final period, scor.ed, converted, and took a 7 to 6 lead. With only a few minutes left to play, the Romans scored again on the Nozawa to Grifiiths to Eversoll' pass combination. The final score was Los Angeles 13 Dorsey 7. Los Angeles took the l.ead early in the Fairfax game when Tochioka went over for the first of Rome's three touchdowns. In both the second and third quarters, the Colonial Bees held the leadg but, led by Captain Tochioka, Rome crossed the goal line twice in the fourth period to win 20 to 13. In the encounter with Hamilton, the B team played its best football for the season. Hambleton and Tochioka both played outstanding games and, supported by the rest of the team, chalked up an 18 to 6 Victory. An undefeated but inferior Venice team held Rom.e to a 7 to 7 tie and forced the Bees to share the Western League title. A blocked punt put Venice in scoring position, and they took a 7 to 0 lead. It was not until late in the third quarter that Rome mad.e the tying touch- down. Although Los Angeles High outplayed the Gondoliers at every turn, our boys were unable to score on them more than onceg thus th.e score remained 7 to 7. Outstanding players for the Bees this season were Tochioka, Eversoll, Mureyama, Moody, Richartz, and Grifiiths. The team was efiiciently managed by Warr.en Dodson, Ted Stark, and Julius Robbins.

In the first quarter, Tommie Carter, Roman half-back, kicked a beautiful field goal to put the Cees out in front with 3 to 0. Later in this game as the result of an intensive drive, the Romans tallied again and made the score 9 to 0. With only three minutes to go in the final period, Jackie Howard, center, intercepted a Washington pass and ran 90 yards for Rome's final touchdown. The Manual Arts game was a dull uninteresting affair. A pass in the final seconds gave the Toilers six points and tied them with the Roman team. This tie did not seem justifiable, for the Romans outplayed Manual Arts through every minute of the game. The lone Roman touchdown was made on a pass from team captain, Taro Kasai, to Sekino, end. Kasai, who played good football all season, succeeded in intercepting four passes during this game. The final contest of the season was played with the San Pedro Gees, This game was hardly contested and ended in a scoreless tie.

H EMSAT H Varsity Basketball The Roman Varsity Basketball team has the best prospects for a Western League Championship that it has had since 'Coach Happy Hemsath's casaba squad took the championship in 1934. This year's team, although small, makes up for its lack of height, in spirit, iight, and determination, all of which are so necessary for a fine organization. The boys who contributed their share to this year's team are as follows: Bill Caldwell, a guard up from last year's B squad, deserves a place on the team because of his determination and tight. Bill is one of the most serious players on the squad. He graduates in February. Martin Clark, a forward up from last year's Bee squad, is a small speedy player with a great eye for the basketg he loops them in with great regularity. Marty also graduates. Eugene Farrell, center on the 1939 Bee squad, is a good shot under the basket and as center helps the guards out very much. Gene's job was one of the toughest on the team, and he played well through the entire season. Bill Harwood was an 11th grader, who showed great promise for next year. He will fill Farrell's shoes very well as he improved greatly since the beginning of the season. John Hawks, a forward on last yea1 s Bee team, played consistently well, and was all over the floor, especially where he was needed most. His excellent eye will be missed next year. Henry Hege, varsity basketball's first three year letterman, was said to be one of the best guards that had been seen at L. A. in some years.

He played a brainy, pep-inspiring game, and was a source of con- stant worry to the opposing forwards. Burdette Jordan, also from last year's Bee's, was the smallest of varsity guards: but he will leave a large hole to fill next year. Jock was a fast and accurate passer and a dead eye on all set shots. He worked well with other guards. John Payne, one of the four returning lettermen, played a fast and tricky game at forward. Johnnie had more fight and spirit than many of the other players. He was the smallest play.er on the team, but his uncanny ability to locate the basket netted many points for L. A. He will be greatly missed next year. Phil Prince, was the tallest player on the squad. 'He played a fine game at forward, gaining confidence as the season wore on. Phil is another fine prospect for next year. Ernesto Quintero was a newcomer from Panama, but his speed and his constant improvement as the season progressed made him a fine forward. He will make a very strong bid for a regular berth on the forward wall next year. Bill Rankin, another 11th grader, improved steadily as the season progressed and played right up with the best of the guards when it closed. He uses his height to great advantage. He returns next year. Bill Spragins, an 11th grader who will be Coach Hemsath's second three year letterman, was changed from forward to guard. He helped greatly in advancing the ball into scoring positions by his deceptive and tricky passes. He will return. Wayne Swiggart is another of the returning lettermen. He was a rangy forward who did much to help the Romans remain in the Winning column. He will graduate in June. Hershal Ziskin, a guard from last year's Bee's , was also somewhat hampered by his shortnessg but his clever guarding and offense work did more than make up for his lack of height. He graduates in June. Jordan Caldwell Prince Rankin H ege Hawks Zzskm H. BRESEE B Football and Basketball 1 v-'1' B Basketball Although the Roman B basketball team has yet to play its iirst Western League game at this writing, much can be said of the team. Rome's B hoopmen won three of their first six practise games in spite of the fact that they had very little practise up to that time. Coach Bresee has never turned out a poor B team, and this season will see no exception to this tradition. Many of last season's B stars graduated to the varsity squad this year and so several of the key positions of the team were left vacant. Seymour Meyrowitz, Bill Deardoff, Lou Mikelson, Cal Young, and Richard Perry have shown the most promise thus far in the season and will probably fill the vacancies left by the 1939 champions. Perry is a letterman up from last year's C team. Deardoff, Mikelson, Young, and Meyrowitz gained most of their experience in spring practice last semester. Jerry Cohen, Carl Wolf, A1 Hughes, Henry Kroopf, Heine Blue, Lou Mikelson, and Ernie Cohn constitute the remainder of the main squad. This year's B team has a chance of Winning the Western League crown. The competition will be toughg but with hard practice and steady improvement, a top position can be reached. Coach Breese never has, in the last six years, failed to bring a B basketball team, to lower than a third place in the Leagueg and this team will not mar his record. The squad was managed by Bruce McEwan. Left to right, kneeling: McEwan, Hauser, Koplof, Walker, Lowe, Thompson, Data, Bernard Clotz, Kennedy, French, Mathews.

Members of the regular team were forwards, t'Gooney Kantz, Dean Walker, Norman Marshank, and Bob Manwaringg centers, Malcom Mynderse and Hayso Shishinog guards, Bernie Lowe, Eugene Bausman, Harry Dickenson, Stan Gonzalez, and Eddie Rymal. The reserves, or Dee as they are sometimes called, played their own schedule with other teams. From this D squad usually comes, in the following season, a well trained and co-ordinated C team. On the D team, this season were Don Cohen, Carson Davidson, Rupert de Leon, Dave Freeman, Harold Kimball, Lawrence Powell, Jack Scher, and Jim Whitlock. The team was managed by Dave Clark and Ralph Green. H.

Not since 1936 and 1937, when the Roman team won the Southern California Water ,Polo Championship, has the squad had a better chance to garner that honor again. Five of the spots on the team, which consists of seven positions, are iilled by regu- lars from last year's excellent aggregation. Coach Crumly has had the best of material to work with this season, and he has made the most of his good fortune. This team rounded out its practice schedule with only one defeat. On November 30, the Romans met a strong Huntington Park team in Oliver Pool for the first regular schedule game. The Roman schedule included games with many teams throughout Southern California and was climaxed with the Fullerton Invitational Water Polo Tournament and the Southern California title play-offs, both of which took place in January. The team, this y.ear, deserves credit for its clean and sports- manlike type of playing and for the excellent record that it has made. The line up at the end of the practise season read as follows: forwards, Bob Bonner and Frankie Lyon, who was high point man and E- CRUMLY the team's scoring threatg sprint, Bill Maple, one of the team's stead- iest and most dependable playersg centerback, Jim Humphries, up from last year's reserves and truly the spark-plug of the team, guards, Mel Zolkover and Neil Kohlhase, a recruit from last year's B squad, and goal guard, Earl Peterson, the team's two year letterman. To assist this excellent team anne many fine substitute players. They too deserve much credit. This year, the reserves are Bob Gatewood, Dick Salisbury, Sandy Wilkinson, Doug Dimmitt, Don Karn, Dick Driscoll, Dore Schwab, Ed Clinton, Dick Simon, Willard Bell, Dick Lentzner, Vaughn Hutchins, -Ralph Schisler, and Slade Hc-bert.

The National Defense Act of 1920 provides for a Reserve Officers' Training Corps whose main objective is the development of leadership. For their outstanding Work in this training, the War Department has awarded the Battalion the Honor School rating for the ninth corps area. This brought the total number of awards to the amazing number of thirteen out of the past fourteen years. The award was presented before the school at the annual Armistice Day Parade by Mr. J. L. Van Norman, president of the Alumni Association. two hundred twenty-seven ROBERT M. McHARGUE First 1,i1'utmzant Infantry Rcsm'vff Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tactics A record enrollment in the R. O. T. C. at the beginning of the semester and au announcement by the War Department that all R. O. T. C. units should reorganize and take up the instruction of a new streamline system of drill, combined to make the early weeks of the semester in L. A. High's R. O. T. C. busy weeks indeed. By Armistice Day, however, the reorganized companies Wel'6 sufficiently trained in the new drill to win a citation for their performance in the Armistice Day Parade, which Was held in downtown Los Angeles. The new drill-regulations are less rigid than formerly. Greater responsibility has been placed upon the student leaders, who must employ good judgment and initiative to supply the details not covered by the drill manuals. This added responsibility is entirely compatible with the mission of the R. O. T. C. which, briefly stated, is to train leaders whether for peace or for wa1'. Training for just any type of strong leadership is not the goal of the R. 0. T. C., however. Special emphasis is placed on the development of leaders with a wholesome respect for law and high ideals of citizenship. If we are successful in carrying out our mission, the R. O. T. C. will be making a significant contribution to the W0rld's progress. ROBERT MCHARGUE two hundred twenty-eigh t l l 1 l i 4J V 'I Keith Robinson Major i Richard Noyes lst Lieut.

With pigskin in his skillful hands He seems to grow in size. Sir Caldwell is the name for him, And none his place can iill! And though h.e leaves L.A. behind, We'll all remember Bill.

You'll find him right within our halls, That's where Doug Dimmitt shines! No need to buy th.e latest Vogue, To please the fashion's eye.

Without a brush or pencil in hand, He couldn't survive the day, He's known as Kenneth Kendall now, Our artist, more need we say? De Consigney and Pulitzer prize Surely should combine.

Marcie Caplan and co-worker Bob Found they really had quite a job, For the bright Senior A's Had curious ways Of writing write-ups-what a mob! Then, Betty and Till rushed around Pasting all of the pictures they found, While Pat, Walter, and Braun Worked from dawn until dawn Snapping pictures, no wonder they frowne Now Epstein, a frugal young lad, Went slowly but surely quite mad. The budget to balance Required all his talents For money was not to be had! Virginia and Marge ran about Assisting fair Edith, no doubt, While Joanne, busy girl, Emerged from the whirl Of pictures and names with a shout. Now buried 'neath essays and stuff dl Shirley Kroll found the going quite toughg And Betty Tremayne Went nearly insane For the literary road was quite rough.
