Unhampered by the memories and social customs any earlier feudal period, one nation — our own — has been able to divelop a represent tive form of government resting on universal suffrage. From the out.Kct. this governmeB endeavored to provide equality of opportunity for all the people. The resulting social or- der is different from anything the world has seen before. It holds untold promise for the We have before us as a nijU tji wofold task, the winning of this war and the preservation of the American way of life. We cannot preserve our vifay of life unless we win this war. But if we win the wai- and lose our freedom in the process, we shall have fought in vain. It was Only yestei day that certain defeatists declared iliat a democracy could not fight a vra.Y and still stay tree. We must accept this challenge. By our words, our thoughts, our actions, we shall prove that this nation can pass through the flames of war and emerge both victorious and free..

On the home front, frivolous pt time f j rifiop J i j Jiours spent in working for our armed forces PRINCIPALS ' MESSAGES Total war has come to America. It touches the lives of us all. It means that we are giving up many of those things which we have enjoyed in the past. It means that we are more and more going to have to give up many of those things which we have considered essentials. We do these things happily because we realize that that is but a small way in which we can make some contribution to ultimate victory. But in a more positive way, we are girding ourselves to carry on. We are helping to build that morale so necessary for success. We are striving to keep the democratic prof cess alive in our relationships with our fellows. We are studying the issues and the progress of the war and are endeavoring to discover the essential elements that should be the basis of the peace to follow. We are stretching our horizons to East and West, to North and South in order that we might better know and understand our neighbors. We recognize that America can no longer isolate herself from participaticn in the affairs of the world and that only as we join in assuring the peace of the world can the peace and security of America be maintained. Victory to America at this time of world conflict means the continuance of our democratic way of life. It signifies the preservation of a priceless heritage that has been committed to us through years of struggle and of sacrifice. Victory must be won if we are to remain a free people with our traditional rights of self-expression and of self-gov- ernment. No price is too great for the people of America to pay for the protection of their freedom and their liberty. Imbued with the spirit which is America, we cannot lose if we have unity of purpose and of actio-n and if we feel and know the real meaning of sacrifice for a great cause. Individual selfishness must be overcome, however, if we as a people are to conquer the gi-eat forces of greed and evil that threaten to engulf us. Unity and sacrifice are the key to ultimate victory. With a complete realization of the truth of the well known maxim, UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL, and with a willingness to sacrifice our all for our country, we cannot fail. We must gain the victory. United we must stand, or one by one we shall tall might well be a slogan of Amer- ica and our Allies. It is imperative that our forces opposing the Axis work together with complete understanding and cooperation. Unity of purpose, unity of action, and unity of ideas and ideals will preserve our civilization and the American way of living. For a time after Pearl Harbor, the American nation was united as never before. We must preserve this unity by supporting all our chosen leaders and their policies, dis- regarding rumors and falsehood. We should gladly accept the sacrifices that inevitably fall to each one of us, knowing that they are insignificant compared to the hardships that our soldiers at the front must endure. The Class of 1942 is faced with a crucial situation. We trust that your training in the public schools of America will help you keep the ideals of democracy on the same high plane established by the founders of the Amei ' ican Republic.

Time, racing across my domain heard a cry, Sacrifice to the gods of war. Starving children. Broken bones, Burning cities. N. Place upon the sacrificial altar, ■ v AU tolerances, loves, and kindnesses. Yj Place upon the dreaded altar. Friendships of a lifetime. But they were not satisfied. And I saw, A million years from now. But shadows. But shadows; Shadows drifting through A Stygian darkness. Reminiscent of a day gone by. There were no green trees sparkling with drops of crystal rain: No more laughing world at play. Only melancholy shadows drifting Through a ghostly forest dripping with blood. There was no sound, but the howling Of shadows; cursed with eternal life. Wandering aimlessly in a phantom forest of death. I saw this, shuddered and heard a voice, The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; But He thrusteth away the desire of the wicked. I raised my head to heaven; And for a moment was comforted. But I asked. How? With one word did the voice answer — Faith. I raised my head again and echoed, How? The voice — did not reply. But standing upon a mountain of broken bodies and the carnage of ages. felt 1 knew the answer. I. Time, exultant with this knowledge Shouted with a reverberating voice across my domain: Faith in that these sacrifices are not in vain. Faith in the future of a l)etter world. Faith — in Him.

' .■■J OFFICERS PLflnninG STUDEHT ACTIVITIES Representatives of all phases of school life are occupied in coordinating student efforts in our national ivar effort. OFFICERS ' Dennis McCarthy Nearly two centuries ago, a new natic-n had its first breath of freedom. Now, eight score years later, those same ideals on which that nation was founded are still held deal ' by everyone of the one hundred and thirty million of us. Paramount among those ideals is the freedom we love and cherish, not merely the freedom to do as we want and to say what we think, but also the tolerance towards our neighbor, the equality which everyone of us enjoys, and the justice upon which we can depend. This nation owes its foundation not to a few men but to all of our ancestors, men and women who were pulling together, who sacrificed their property and were willing tc give their lives rather than to lose their freedom. That sense of unity and sacrifice became the basis upon which our government and our way of life was nurtured. That unity is shown in the very name of this country, the United States. Here, peoples of all races and creeds have been united to preserve their freedom. We, in America, have had this blessing for so long that it has become a part of us. Tc have it wrenched away from us would be like ripping the heart out of a living man. Unity and Sacrifice not only suggests the basis for victory in this war, but also the principles upon which a worthy and just peace could be formulated. This year, as in countless other years, there echo in the ears of graduates all over the land those same worn words that we are the citizens of tomorrow and future civili- zation and progress depend upon us. But those phrases have a new meaning today, for we are fighting for our very existence. We, In Los Angeles High School, are helping in national defense through many different activities. But we can also serve as the cradle from which will grow the spii ' lt of unity and sacrifice. Only through these qualities can we ever hope to remain free. —God .i?rant that we may always keep our freedom. DENNIS McCarthy, president of Student Body thirty ' MESSAGES Today, democracy, the world over, is facing tlie acid test . During this crisis, we must have unity and willing sacrifice. To present a unified front, we must all show a whole-hearted willingness to cooperate in conserving all resources, for, truly, Unity and Sacrifice are the Keynotes to Victory . Serving you during this time of emergency has been an experience I shall never forget. Being able to help advance our school ' s part in this drama of perpetuating Dem- ocracy has truly been a privilege. JEAN CLINTON, girls ' division president Today, we are engaged in a conflict which must at its termination bring but one re- sult, victory for us. But if we are to accomplish this victory which we deem necessary, we all must be united. This unity must begin in the school and serve as a basis for unity in all the nations. We must also be ready to sacrifice certain privileges and to make these sacrifices willingly and cheerfully. Already, we have begun to give up some privileges, but these are minor in comparison to those that we will have to relinquish in the future. Truly, the basis of a future victory will depend on the complete unity of America and on its readiness to sacrifice. TONY DE LA PENA, boys ' division president Never before in history has the necessity for unity been so important. Unity of the family, of the workers, of the state, of the nation, and of the United Nations is essential to Victory: it must embody unity of thought, unity of purpose, and unity of action. The free people of this earth must be as one if they are to repel the sinister forces that have been turned loose upon them. Yet, unity alone will not suffice. Sacrifices will be necessary; sacrifices such as mod- ern America has never known will have to be undertaken, willingly and gladly, so that our own fighting forces and those of our allies may be supplied with the materials for success. We are proud to do all of this for we know that Unity and Sacrifice will form the key that will open the gate to Victory. JOAN DICKINSON, secretary of Student Body Jean Clinton Tony rf. lu Pr J(ia  Dirl i nson thirty-one Cabinet The cabinet class busy solving school problems. President: Dennis McCarthy Secretary: Joan Dickinson Sponsor: Mr. Baldwin This year, a modern class in leadership has been organized which is composed of representatives from every organization in Los Angeles High School. It is under the direction ot Mr. Baldwin. This newly formed Cabinet Committee has been functioning with the Student Body president to solve problems confronting our school. The House ot Representatives has been dissolved. This committee meets the second period every day and considers questions con- cerning student participation in school government. Various committees have been formed to make and render suggestions for the betterment of all: BIO orientation. BIO assembly, bicycle and car committee, assembly conduct, handbook, constitution, lunch court, and House ot Representatives committees. The members composing the class are as follows: Katherine Ainsworth, Jackie Archibald, Bill Byron, Harry Carter, Jean Clinton, Betty Coffey. Dick Darby, Tony de la Pena, Margaret Mary del Bondio, Joan Dickinson, Dick Gerdau, Pat Glen, Hal Handley, Jean Irish, Torn Una, Violet Jones, Jim Kennedy, Jim Lawshe, Dennis McCarthy, Kath- erine Metro, Lothrop Mlttenthal, Joscelin Pyne, Barbara Seaver, and Carl Shultz. thirtij-tiro Administration Unity and Sacrifice — Tlie Key to Victory , is the theme tor the class of Summer ' 42. In these perilous times with youth facing life in a world torn apart with greed and hate, our individual responsibility toward our nation takes on an entirely new meaning. We are to be confronted with privation, endless sacrifice of luxuries, necessities, and perhaps even of self, in order to preserve this great demccracy. And where can youth be better prepared to meet these problems than in a school such as Los Angeles High, in which the very fundamentals, upon which our democracy is based, are rooted deep in every hall, classroom, and office of this school. With the speed of a cyclone, our nation was turned from a peaceful to a war-time footing. With an equal speed. L.A. has reorganized her peacetime basis, under the guid- ance of our popular, new principal. Dr. Webb. An all-out spirit of unity and sacrifice is prevailing as it never has before. One of the first to recognize the danger of an air raid, we have had an efficient air raid system functioning since the beginning of the term. An alert incendiary bomb squad, first aid squad, and stretcher squad, coordinated by R.O.T.C. Air Raid Wardens guarantee all possible protection. Realizing the importance of, as well as the patriotism in, the sales of government De- fense Bonds and Stamps, our school has a special representative in each period two class to promote and to sell Defense Stamps. This worthy enterprise has met with un- usual success this term and promises to reach still further efficiency later. But not being satisfied with only cooperating with the War Stamp and Bond cam- paign, the students and Faculty of Los Angeles High have instigated and brought to a very successful close, numerous drives and charities to bring about a greater feeling of unity and sacrifice in the school itself while doing good for others. Old and broken record drives, paper drives. China War Relief donations, clothing and food drives, toy drives for our adopted school, Santa Fe, and a coat hanger drive have all had their share of L. A. ' s generosity and patriotism. The sight of our Reserve Officers ' Training Corps in full uniform, with rifles glint- ing in the sun and flags bravely waving in the breeze on the morning of June eleventh led many to think that the Army had taken our boys after all. But no! It was the annual Honor School inspection held by the War Department to check on the cadets ' knowl- edge of drill, both practical and theoretical. To be given the official designation of Honor School is a great distinction that Los Angeles High ' s unit has won for fifteen out of six- teen tries. We hope that they may win the title again this year. Our old homeroom period was eliminated at the beginning of this term, and the House of Representatives was reorganized. An extra ten minutes has been added to the period two classes to transact the business cf the school. This second period takes the place of homeroom. Senior problems, the study of heredity, marriage, and present school conditions, is new a compulsory study for every Senior A. It is an exceedingly interesting subject and is considered important. Because of the increased educational facilities in the vicinity, we have 3,02S stu- dents this term, a smaller number than last year. To handle this large body of students, our counselor system has been reorganized. One counselor will now guide the students in groups of two hundred-fifty to three hundred from the BIO to the A12. In this way, it will be possible to give more attention to the individual and to his individual problems. A staff of twelve counselors will compose this department. The students of L.A. have been fortunate this term in having many interesting aud calls, and entertainments, among which were the traditional Big L.A. vs. Faculty base- ball game; a student artist program; the Hello Day Dance; two very good lectures deal- ing with science; a Student vs. Faculty Infoimation Please Quiz; a recital by Leonard Pennario, our talented pianist; the Maytiower oratorical contest; an excellent student play, our first in many terms; an International Goodwill Day Program; and all the in- spiring programs that go with Commencement Week. But there is an end to all good things, and we soon found that the term had come to an end, and it was graduating week. We received our Semi-Annuals and were awarded our diplcmas; and thus, for some, closed the chapter in our life entitled Education. This great class of S ' 42 will continue to live, bund in loyalty by the memories and friendships of Los Angeles High School.

Noblesse Oblige , a privilege to serve, is the motto of the Girls ' Senior Board. We consider it not only a privilege to serve the school, but also we have joy in serving as members of the Board of Control. This motto is also the theme of our weekly meetings at which suggestions are made for the improvement of stu- dent activities and for the help of those girls who have not been cooperative in upholding the high standards of the Student Body. The Board girls, in addition to their regular duties in Miss Mathews ' s and Dr. Webb ' s offices, serve on various committees. The Hospitality Committee welcomes new girls to the school and helps them with their problems. The Locker Committee checks the girls ' lockers to prevent loss- es. The Assembly Commit- tee maintains order dur- ing programs and sees that books are put away and unneces- sary talking is stopped. The A d e 1 p h ian Johnson Metro Glen ' ;d% icr . i Karz Koatcr SENIOR BOARD M  Long Mail Committee has organized a club, sponsored by the Board, for the purpose of acquainting the BIO girls with the functions and rules of the school and also helping them in making new friendships. The social committee plans the various social activities of the term. The Detention, Safety, and Philanthropic committees are equally important. The social events play their part also. They have in- cluded the installation tea. Board breakfasts, and a Board picnic in Griffith Park. Under the able guidance of Miss Mabel Mathews, the girls ' vice-principal, the Board has re- alized that ultimately Unity and Sacrifice are The Key to Victory. The following girls represent the membership of the Girls ' Senior Board of Los Angeles High School: A12 Regular: Jacky Archibald, June Rae Christenson. Jean Clinton, Betty Coffey, Eva Mae Darby.

Its members are elected by their class on a basis of leadership, pop- ularity, and scholarship. It is the ambition of every boy in the school to some day become a part of this organiza- tion. The Board performs a multitude of duties. Among these tasks are assisting with enrollment at the be- ginning of the term, the enforcement of all school rules, noon posts about the school, aiding at football games, and the gaining of the co- operation and suppoi ' t of the entire Student Body in obeying school rules. Each week, those boys who have violated a school rule are brought before the Board and given a fair trial and just pun- ishment. In this way. the Board helps each individual boy to be- come a better citizen of our school democracy. This year, the Board has treated offenders more individually than ev- er before. A sys- tem of informal trials was in- augurated in Mcye Darby lura Miitevthal Paden SENIOR BOARD Page Paul an attempt to obtain the violators ' full cooperation and to gain a spirit of good fellowship. As tlie year progressed, this form of trial proved very successful. This year has been especially successful: much of the credit for this was due to Mr. Hemsath and Mr. Bul- lock, the sponsors, and to the fine and capable leadership displayed by the officers. Not all of the Board ' s activities are of a serious nature for there are a co-Board dance, a picnic, and a stag dinner held at the end of the year. Be- sides these social events, the members of the A and B Boards compete in athletic contests. This year, a track meet was held in which the A Board was victorious. These extra activities help to develop the spirit and unity of the Boai ' d. The Board is composed of twenty-five regu- lar members who have shown a fine spirit of cooperation. The A12 are: Lee Abbott. Har- ry Carter. Dick Darby, Tony de la Pena, David Freeman. Dick Gerdau, Toru lura, James Kennedy, James Lawshe, Dennis McCarthy, Marvin Meyer.

President: Pat Glen Secretary: Barbara Cass Sponsor: Miss Mathews Tlie Girls ' Associate Board, under the helpful guidance of Miss Mathews, has had a most successful term. This year, the members achieved a closer cooperation with the Regular Board; and so they attained a further efficiency in their service. The quality that makes the Associate Board valuable to the school and to the Reg- ular Board Is this spirit of cooperatic-n and a desire to serve which prevails among the members.

Hemsath The Boys ' Associate Board lias just completed one of its most successful years in promoting its traditional spirit of good fellowship and citizenship among the students of Los Angeles High School. The Associate Board works in conjunction with the Boys ' Senior Board in enforcing the school rules and in serving the Student Body and the Faculty. The members of the Associate Board are elected according to their scholarship and civic-mindedness by the All Class. Because of extra responsibilities placed on the Associate Board, a few twelfth grade members are selected by the Regular Board. These members have practically the same duties as the Regular Boarders: they have noon posts, attend meetings when necessary, and have the opportunity to have a Reg- ular Board period on their program if they are so inclined. They take part in school activities and perform other duties essential to the welfare of the whole school. The members, this term, have served faithfully and cheerfully, and, indeed, have proven themselves to be student leaders of which the entire Student Body may be proud. The members are All: Bill Bradley. Harold Comlossy. David Danskin. Jim Scher- fee. Fred Hodge. Frank DeMarco. Phil West, Bert West, Forest Gillespie, and Glen Mitch- el. B12: Bob Lewis, Burnett Cohen, Oivler Garver, Stewart Hill, and Bill Schwarzer.

We will never forget the great traditions and the spirit which prevailed. We will never forget our classes, and our teachers, and our friends. We will never forget that we were high in scholastic and ath- letic achievements. And. in the midst of a new great war, we will never forget what we I Mrs. Lucile Netiswanger Summer 1942 Secretary; Sally Unmack Treasurer: Vic Clotts Sally Unmack, Vic Clotts did, insignificant as it may seem, toward the furtherance of victcry for America.

To our sponsors Mrs. Neuswanger and Mr. Reilly we say: Your untiring efforts, your kindness, your patience, and your understanding have been a true inspiration to us all.

This hour Of parting comes to make the years complete That shall not be forgotten. Varied ways Will shape the lives we build. We may not see Again those who were close to us; yet stays The memory of our joys and unity. Let us go forth with faith, still unafraid To raise the temples, for the base is laid.

Before your sightless and yet seeing eyes Are countless scenes of bygone battles, Proud Ilium ' s ruin, the green fields Of Waterloo, Gettysburg, and Verdun. Your lips answer not The oft-repeated questions of men. But only smile inscrutably At the blunderings of philosophers. You do not feel the loneliness Of the sleeveless coat, the empty seat. What have men not done in your name? And yet, despite the dead, and the living dead, The fire from your torch, At once consuming and purifying. Blazing eternally, hallows these sacrifices With a blinding, white light Reacluri| to the blue heavens above.

Martin The mistaken belief that morale is raised when men in uniform are GIVEN things has conclusively been disproved by the officers and men in the Los Angeles High R.O.T.C. Battalion. Since war has been declared, we have lost one third of our training rifles to regular troops in the field; we have given up plans for a dance; we have given up game-days for more intensive military theory work. Certain students gave up their Easter vacation to take part in terrain exercises on their own time. Along with these privations has developed the highest morale we have yet enjoyed. The theme of this Semi-Annual, Unity and Sacrifice , is likewise the formula for genuine, healthy morale in wartime. ROBERT M. McHARGUE 1st Lieut., Infantry R.O.T.C. Instructor Since 1927, Sergeant James Lawson has been the capable assistant of the R.O.T.C. instructor. He superintends the use, selection, and care of the num- erous supplies and equipment which our Battalion uses. He supervises the care of the armory and the condition of the rifles. He individually instructs each man of the unit in the art of rifle marksman- ship; and he also is in charge of the Rifle Team, whose present efficiency is due to his untiring efforts. This is Mr. Martin ' s second term as instructor of the R.O.T.C. band. That Mr. Martin is an excel- lent teacher as well as an understanding friend of the unit is shown by the high morale of the band this year. The band ' s duty is doubly hard, for the boys have to march well and play well at the same time. Thanks to Mr. Martin, the band has been very successful. This band adds much to entertainments and reviews, and has often been asked to appear in ceremonies out of school. S(ft.

It consists of the ten best rifle shots in the Battalion. These men have proved tKeir ability to handle and fire their rifles with a high degree of accuracy by constant practice and close supervision. Not only must the members be able to shcot well, but they must have excellent eyes, possess a steady hand, and have perfect coordination. Throughout the semester, the Rifle Team has engaged in several important matches; these were the annual Ninth Corps Area Match and the William Randolph Hearst Match. Also there are many inter-Team matches which keep the men in constant practice and also imprcve the morale. The members of this semester ' s Rifle Team include: James T. Heck. Harry S. Lucken- tach. Glen Mitchel. Herschel F. Peak. Donald B. Prell. Robert P. Rowlett. Donald F. Schindler. William Schoenfeld. Leo B. Stoller. and Rex Requarth. Under the supervision of the Rifle Team and Sergeant Lawson. a rifle club was organized which received a charter from the National Rifle Association. The club c Tn- prises twenty members from the R.O.T.C. The officers are Herschel F. Peak, president: Robert P. Rowlett. executive officer; Glen Mitchel. secretary; and Donald B. Prell. treasurer. I ninety-xix This year ' s Drill Team is composed of nine of the more proficient cadets of the Bat- talion under the command of 1st. Lieutenant John K. Paden. The members of the unit are; Harry Luckenbach. second-in-command. Shattuck. Berger. Hovsepian, Krasney, Pal- lacia, Galant, Mitchel, and Turnham. All of these boys, with the exception of Lucken- bach. are serving their first term on the Drill Team and are doing a very excellent job- Lieutenant Paden has developed a new schedule of movements, including an interchange of rifles over the head of the commander for a distance of eight feet. The final move- ment of their routine is a very impressive design, consisting of three dots and a dash — the V for Victory — formed by the boys ' rifles. DRILL TEAM The drill team furnishes entertahiment, vot only in school, but also for yroups outside of school. ninety-seven h ' i E; ?

In 1879, this was started as a Natural Science Club with all of the students as members. As the size of the Student Body increased, it became the Alumni Association; and now only Senior A ' s and Alumni are members. The name Star and Crescent Is very symbolic. The star signifies Los Angeles; the crescent stands for Santa Monica Bay, hence the star in the crescent bay. Star and Crescent Day is the last Tuesday of each term. Several honors are be- stowed upon the Senior A ' s that day. At an assembly, they are presented with Star and Crescent pins; and at the close of the exercises, they are entertained at a dance by the Senior B ' s. As unity is our greatest need at this time, especially symbolical is the fact that as the name of each Senior A is entered upon the roster, he becomes a part of the large united group of Los Angeles High School Alumni.

In our troijhy room are kept in a tangible form the symbols of Los Angeles High School ' s traditional leadership and achievement which our Student Body has worked to maintain since 1873. Here are kept the awards won by students for athletic accomplish- ment, leadership, and scholarship. Each year, a group of outstanding Romans brings honor to their school by winning banners, cups, medals, plaques, or other awards through their own efforts, constant work, cooperation, and skill. These awards were won in countless fields of endeavor: literature, commercial subjects, oratory, debate, sports, and many others. These symbols of recognition earned by our students are proof that Los Angeles High School is training citizens in those traits of citizenship, health, and leadership, which are so vital if we are to succeed in the battle for democracy. one hundred thirty-five PericI ericiean Nesselhauf, Carr, Meyer, Daniels, Reinwald OFFICERS: President: Marvin Meyer Vice-president: Sliirleen Daniels Secretary: Lorene Nesselhauf Treasurer: Ted Carr Historian: Dorothy Reinwald Sponsors: Miss Goodell Miss Wright GRADE REPRESENTATIVES: A12: Mary Alice MacMillan, Stan Gramlich B12: Sarabelle Leff, Willis Wheelock All: Patches Quaintance, Jim Naftzger Bll: Zelda Kenney, Glen Cayler AlO: Priscilla Gibson, Frank Simpson The Periclean Society at Los Angeles High School represents the highest scholas- tic achievement.

One out of every forty students in the senior class is chosen by the Faculty and by the Senior A class for scholarship, leadership, and character. The pledge taken by every Ephebian member is the identical promise made liy the ancient Athenian youths: We will never bring disgrace to this, our city, by any act of dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever desert our suffering comrades In the ranks; we will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city, both alone and with many; we will revere and obey the city ' s laws, and do our best to incite a like respect in those above us who are prone to annul or set them at naught; we will strive unceasingly to quicken the public sense of civic duty. Thus, in these ways, we will transmit this city not only no less, but far greater than it was transmitted. The students elected to this honor this year realize the immense burden and respon- sibility which are theirs as the leaders of their school at this time. Citizens like these are needed by our country if we are to be victorious in this battle for freedom and in the peace that is to follow. The seniors chosen to the Ephebian Society this term are Lee Abbott, Jacky Archi- bald, Jean Clinton, Victor Clotts, Dick Darby, Eva Mae Darby, Margaret Mary del Bon- dio.

A mother stood beneath the rain-streaked skies Of barren pain, then reaching to fresh sod. Sought other youth with deep courageous eyes. And found love ' s deeds the pulsing heart of God. Throughout eternal spring, she makes her way And brings to countless youth a vision, bright With glimpses of a new and shining day — A world of peace made radiant by their light. CONNIE CARHART, A12 On May 21, 1929, a young boy lay dying in a hospital in New York. The strains of the Star Spangled Banner from the streets below reached his ears; and slowly strug- gling to lift himself, he saluted the flag of the United States with military precision before passing from this world to the unknow n. This boy was Captain Forbes Ripley, R.O.T.C. adjutant. Class of Summer 1928. Every year since his death, a scholarship, given by Mrs. Edward Ripley in memory of her grandson, is awarded to a graduating member of the R.O.T.C. unit who possesses those same ideals of patriotism, steadfastness, and loyalty, which were so fundamental in the character of Forbes Ripley. The first award was given to IVIa.jor Howard Rogers in 1930. Since 1930, eleven boys have received this honor, and what is even more valuable, the friendship of the Rip- ley family.

Manual of Arms mu i ' lO ' risoN EDITORIALS We. the people of the United States. — so begins the preamble to our Constitution. These fiist words which brought to life the machinery of our gcveinment were not framed by any particular group or individual. Nothing that affects the entire nation has ever been done that was not started and carried out by all of the people. Today, the United States has a task to perform, the greatest in its history. Today, neither our lead- ers alone, nor our armed forces alone, nor our factory workers alone, nci ' our farmers alone will complete this task. We, the people, must work in unity toward this goal. Every one ci ' us will give his last ounce of sweat and blood, if necessary, for victory. Unity of thought is as important for victory as is unity of effort. We cannot have one without the other, for we cannot work together if we disagree among curselves. Now. America is counting on us. The other democracies are depending on us. We are the last hope for the freedom of the liberty-lo ' ' ing peoples. We, the s ' tudents, the farmers, the laborers, the fighting forces, the pulilic officials — we. the people — will work together for the preservation of our cherished democracy. BARBARA SEAVER. editor-in-chief Tc ' day. our nation is bound more closely than ever through the magic of one word — Victory. The days of partisanship and of political differences are gone. National De- fense is a forgotten phrase; it is supplemented now by National Offense! We are no longer a dormant nation, blind in our stupor and struggling for the light. No! On the contrary, in every village, town, and city, an awakened America is forging the cold steel blade of i-ightful vengeance: the blaze in the fire of determination is growing ever hot- ter, fanned by glorious sacrifice of a united nation. It is our job. the youth and citizenry of our young country, to keep this forge blazing and to keep the smiths ' hammers falling, slow at first, yes — but faster and faster yet. And when our mighty sword is finished. God grant that we shall put an end to the enemies that beset our generation: and thus, shoulder to shoulder, we will beat our way to victory! HERSCHEL PEAK, business manager The Pilgrims sacrificed to estaljlish a new land where they could worship in free- dom. The Americans during the Revolution sacrificed that they might raise their chil- dren in freedom. The pioneers sacrificed to open new western paths to freedom. Throughout our history, sacrifices have been made for worthwhile achievements. Our victory in the present war is worth the sacrifices which must be made by everyone of us. Time taken to knit sweaters, to learn first aid. and to train for civilian defense must be surrendered without regrets. We must deny ourselves not only some of our luxuries but also a few of the items we term necessities. Everyone of us must share in winning this war. and everyone of us will take his part in willing sacrifice for victory. EVA MAE DARBY, assistant editor This is war! That statement seems simple to understand, but with understanding must come appropriate action. We are fighting murderers who are squeezing from the conquered nations the last drop of freedom by economic and military pressure. We are not entitled to isolate ourselves from the problems of our fellow-citizens of the world, merely because we have been fortunate enough to be born in a land rich in natural resources and protected by natural barriers. We must earn our birthright! This is war! War can only be won through sacrifice of blood, sweat, toil, and tears. History shows us this conclusively. We must feel the presence of war in every action. Every time we buy an item, every time we plan ahead, every time we suffer an incon- venience, we must realize that this is war! This is the time for sacrifice— not haphazard, but organized — sacrifice with Victory as our goal! RUTH ORECK, literary editor one hunditfl farty-five ESSAYS, POEMS, AND STORIES Moral Rearmament: Pathway to Victory Senior A essay — first place Many times, we have beheld a picture of a man, not too old and not young either, a man with a determined look in his eyes, a man well-dressed in red and white stripes and stars, a man pointing his finger at us. He is one whom we revere, and one who stands for tolerance, brotherhood, and love. He is our Uncle Sam; and he needs us now because at this moment there is a red blize raging over the earth, a blaze of destruction — WAR! At this same time, there is another fire burning. This is but a flame of mellow and pure light, a flame that must be guarded so that it cannot be blown out. It is the flame of Peace and Democracy, There is an old saying that fire must be fought with fire. Therefore, we must fan this flame into a blaze to sweep a path around the entire earth; and when that other raging menace reaches the path of Democracy, it will be stifled and will burn itself out. The people of America have united in this mighty war effort. America has been at- tacked, and her loyal citizens are risirg to defend her. Already, some are suffering, fighting, dying, that our battle may be won. The men who have qualified to serve in our armed forces are not wavering in their patriotic duty. These men are fighting on the land, on the sea and in the air! However, the great majority of the eople of the United States cannot be disregard- ed. This group consists of boys who are yet too young to qualify for enlistment, of women and girls who have to wait at home, and of men who are too old or physically unfit, of those many who have dependents, and of others who are vital to defense in- dustries. It is necessary for all these citizens to unite and to prepare for eventualities. It is necessary, of course, to prepare in a material manner. Yet, it is more important that we do not lose our spiritual values. If our nation is to withstand an attack of a foreign power, if Democracy is a flame that is to be guarded so that it cannot be extin- guished, if freedom of body, mind, and spirit is to withstand violent agitations, then moral rearmament is necessary. It is the duty of the individual to rearm himself moral- ly; he must draft himself to become a soldier in spirit if he cannot be one in fact, Democracy cannot be insured only by armies, navies, and air-forces; it must be a living, vital spark in the soul of the nation. One of the greatest dangers that faces us today is the apathetic attitude of some individuals, their complacency, their impassiveness, and their indifference. We cannot take all the blessings of this free country for granted. We must not lack in appreciation for our freedom to worship, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press. If this indif- ference be allowed to remain within the people of America, it will result in an apathy that may eventuate in loss. This complacency is derived from steady increase in the ease of living. Today, we have streamlined automobiles in place of the rugged ox-carts, glowing electric lights instead of kerosene lanterns, hot and cold running water, not drawn from a spring. Con- sequently, life is easier; life is more en.ioyable and comfortable. I d oubt if our spiritual attitude has improved along with our intellectual development. We seem to have lost the taste for natural and simple things. We feel the need for excitement, and we must always be rushing here and there. We are forgetting the joys of family lite. Our emo- tions are over stimulated by devastating gangster movies and glamour girls in artifi- cial settings of luxury. Life appears to be a continuous struggle to get more and more. We have apparently lost the incentive to work for what we desire. Too many individ- uals wish to get something for nothing. To illustrate, hundreds of dollars are distril)- uted at theaters each week in order to urge our attendance. Upon purchasing numerous articles in various stores, defense stamps are often given away. Thus we do not have to sacrifice anything in order to contiibute toward our nation ' s ultimate victory. Do we have to be bribed to help our nation obtain the Key of Victory? If that is so. we certainly cannot be called soldiers in spirit ; we cannot be classified with those noble men in our armed forces who have left their loved ones, who have sacrificed luxuries and many times their lives. Let us not permit the moral fiber of our society to disintegrate. All must begin to work for self-improvement; we must begin to appreciate the true values of life, for then will the flame of Peace and Democracy burn brightly on our horizon; then will the menacing blaze that threatens there be extinguished; then will bloody and craven warfare be abolished. We shall be taking advantage of our privilege as Americans, only when we have learned the meaning of sacrifice and the meaning of unity. As a united peo; le, then will we march to Victory, CORRYNE M, CODON. A12 on? hundred fi -ty-:!U- t I Unity and Sacrifice: Key to Victory Senior A essay — second place Without a solid I ' oundation. no building can long remain secure. With joints loosely fitted together, the structure soon crumples beneath the barrage of the elements. And thus it is with the sti ' ucture of a free government that also has to weather the elements, the elements of prejudice, disunity, suppression, and political corruption. Unless a dem- ocratic government is built on sound principles, it will not continue to endure. The patriots of ' 76 laid this foundation. The building has steadily risen since: from a humble cottage has grown a mighty skyscraper. What factors have been responsible for this rapid growth? A brief review of our history will reveal clearly the two out- standing influences, unity and sacrifice. In 1620. the Pilgrims came seeking religious freedom; and multitudes followed. These millions all came for a relative, it not like, purpose. They may all be called pil- grims, for they all sought a sanctuary: they all sought freedom, political freedom, so- cial freedom, scientific freedom, economic freedom, freedom for the mind, for the body, and for the spirit. The building of this United States is an epic. The gradual development in the brief period of one hundred and fifty years of a group of thirteen colonies, huddled along the Atlantic seaboard to a world power, formed an empire, extending in its rich domain from East to West, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, a vast continental nation of forty- eight states with world strength and a voice that must be listened to by every friendly and hostile nation alike. This is one of the miracles in human history. But there is behind this iniracle an even greater miracle, the miracle of men with determination and resolution, men of action and ambition and inventive genius. America became the home of the oppressed. It became the haven for every minority. for every persecuted faction, for anyone seeking contentment, opportunity, security, and a free way of life. Men came to this nation from every part of the world. They rushed from England. France. Germany, Italy, Ireland, Poland, Russia, Norway, Sweden, Aus- tria, from Europe, and from Asia, from the far corners of the globe. These people who came here seeking freedom, opportunity, and peace of mind found them all! And they stayed. They tilled the soil, built ships, developed commerce. They worked in factories, on farms, and in the cities. They built the railroads, stretched the wires of communication from coast to coast, and pushed the frontier steadily hack- ward from the Allegheny mountains until it was lost in the vastness of the Pacific. They conquered a wilderness: they built a mighty nation; they made the United States a real- ity. And these men and wom en, these builders of a nation, lived in unity. True, there were minor differences, but they were only minor. If it were not for the fact that these people were of one heart and hope and ambition, the United States could never have been built. Here, in America, began the greatest experiment in free government in the history of mankind. And. the experiment was a success. Why? To a large extent, it was due to the fact that the settlers of America, the pioneers, had a common purpose and a com- mon determination. But. the fact that these men had a common purpose was not enough. If men had held only dreams. America would still be a dream, not a reality. Men had to work, sweat, fight, and even die to keep this precious, yet vulnerable, ideal alive. Herein lies the success of America, the successful fulfillment of the American dream. Men had the devotion and the fortitude to struggle tor freedom. This nation was founded on unity and sacrifice, but it will continue to survive only as long as we stand united and are willing to pay the price of freedom. Today, we are engaged in war against the forces of brute justice, indecency, and oppression. We must make the lesson of yesterday the guide of today. Without united effort, we cannot remain a sovereign nation. Every mind, every body must func- tion as one in the development of our war activities. We have a job to do. We must see to it that our task is done well. Our soldiers will give the greatest sacrifice. But, we civilians can, we must, sacri- fice also — not in blood, but in time, conveniences, pleasures, and luxuries. And judging from the past, we can confidently say that the American does sacrifice, willingly. There must be: there is; and there will be cooperation for the American people know the stakes are high. We are gambling for life or death, for living under the tyranny of the Axis powers cannot, in the terms of civilized men, be called living. But. if the American people stand firm in their resolve, there will be no gamble. Victory shall be ours! This struggle may be long and hard, but it will always find us willing. The American people have never shirked from battle. One brief glance into our illustrious past will bring to life such blood stirring names as Valley Forge, New Orleans, the Alamo, Gettysburg. Chateau Thierry — glorious pennons of the past. We Americans are fortunate to be the possessors of so noble and so precious a heritage as is ours. The ship, through many years of constant peril and toil, has been built and launched. Ours is but the task to keep that worthy vessel afloat. We must not underestimate the job. Today, this ship is engulfed in as wild and fierce a tempest as it will ever be called upon to face. Every man must be on deck; no one can afford to sleep below. With united effort and with every one of us doing his best, we need have no fear for our future safety. EDWARD BRAUN. A12 one hundred jorty-seren I My Reasons for Defending Democracy Senior A essay — third place Why do I want to defend Democracy? I have many reasons just as has every other liberty loving peison: but all these reasons can be narrowed down to just two. They are freedom to live my own life and freedom to develop myself. Those, fundamentally, are the two privileges that 1 enjoy here on this earth — to live and to develop. Everything I do can be classed under one or the other of these two headings. Most certainly I am living: and anyone who is living must be developing or learning in one way or another. It is in this everyday living and developing that I desire freedom. Democracy can give me this freedom. For that reason. I want to defend and protect Democracy. How can Democracy give me freedom to develop? In many ways! Let us consider school. I am taught in grammar school reading, writing, and arithmetic, and adjustment for friendly relations with my neighbors. In totalitarian countries, however, my lessojis would be quite the opposite. True, I should be taught to read and write; but I should also be taught to carry a gun and to hate other races and nations. In Democracy ' s high school, I learn about cultural backgrounds and prepare to take my place in the nation. I am given the facts and left to draw my own conclusions. However, in a totalitarian state, I should be taught by state agents that 1 must reverence the leader, that I must build my body for the good of the state, and that I must be ready and proud to die for the state. Officials would teach me that their race was the greatest on earth and that it was destined to conquer the world. In such a nation, I should be put through months of severe military training so that I might be one of their many would be thousands who would conquer the world. This would be my status if I lived under a dictatorship. My mind would not be my own. It would be stuffed with propaganda that the state had fed it. Is this what I am seeking? Do I want to become a mere cog in a ruthless machine? NO! I am searching for a government that will give me far more than serfdom. There- fore I will defend democracy, for it can give me the freedom for development that 1 desire. Democracy can also give one freedom for plain everyday living which one must have if he is going to develop. This kind of freedom can be found in Democracy. In a Democracy, 1 can walk down the street without the haunting fear of my every move be- ing watched from some shady doorway. If I wish to, I may listen to the radio at any time of the day or night. I do not have the dread of being suspected as a spy. In my own home. I may talk freely. I need have no fear that some secret agent will pounce upon me and drag me off to a prison camp, there to rot away in a dreary cell or be sent before a firing squad without a trial. No such haunting fears are in my soul in a Democracy, for Democracy can give me the freedom that I want. Furthermore, I am assured that 1 shall have this freedom as long as the people of our Democracy wish it. We are guaranteed by our Declaration of Independence the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness . Our Constitution gives us the right to petition, to a trial by jury, and to warrant before search or seizure. Only a few countries enjoy such privileges. We are especially fortunate to be among these coun- tries. In a Democracy, I am guaranteed the light to life: I am guaranteed the right to liberty, and I am guaranteed the right to the pursuit of happiness. That is why 1 want to defend Democracy, and that is why 1 will defend Democracy. JACQUELINE TOWERS, A12 America Unafraid Lower division poem — first place America is not afraid! . Her sunlit valleys and white crowned peaks lie the same, serene and free; Her soul, within the rich loam, is not bound by black fear or grey despair: Her trees bloom, her grain ripens, her meadows grow moist and green. America is not undefended! One hundred thirty million pairs of hands work every hour, every minute, Showing America her victory will be won. Though the maddened foes may storm her shores. And spread their hate and bombs and fire. They cannot touch the real America. She lies deep within our hearts, our truest love! And naught shall harm her there. America is not afraid! We. who offer our work and prayers, even our blood and lives. Bound together by our single deathless love, Shall forever keep her free! MARGARET RIEMER, AlO one huiHlrer! forty-eiylit ome Call It Sacrif ice Upper division essay — first place What would the Pilgrim Fathers or the men and women of the covered wagon think ot our conception of sacrifice? What are we sacrificing? Where can we look for a measuring stick? Finally, why is there such an insistent call for sacrifice? For what are we to sacrifice? What are we asked to sacrifice? With dread, we hear that we must give up some of our luxuries. We must avoid long pleasure trips in order to conserve our cars and tires. We shall not be aljle to Ijuy new washing machines, and our electric refrigerators will have to suffice indefinitely. We even may have to cut down on electric consumption of all kinds. In addition, substitutes must be found for such essentials as aluminum cooking vessels and silk stockings. Sugar is being rationed. Some call this sacrifice! Citizens are giving time and money to civilian defense work. Many hours, formerly devoted by women to shopping or to parties, are now spent in Red Cross work or in first aid classes. Women are attending lectures on nutrition and home-nursing instead of playing bridge. They are contributing untiring service and time to Soldiers ' Bene- fits and to Service Clubs. Men, too. are giving up their precious hours of leisure. They at- tend classes where they learn how to protect their homes. They study first aid. Thou sands ask for the perilous and demanding jol) of air-raid warden. The value of these efforts cannot be overestimated. These men and women are making an important con- tribution. But is this sacrifice? Some call it sacrifice! Millions of young men have been taken from their homes and jobs, and they have been placed on the firing line. A million more have voluntarily given up their normal lives to join in the defense of our country. The l)oys in the armed forces have left homes, families, and friends. Many have left promising jobs and sizable salaries. Their former freedom of action has been curbed by many restrictions. Their mode of life has been completely changed. Perhaps, this is truly a sacrifice. Some call it sacrifice! How are we to know what is sacrifice, or when we have given enough? To what standard shall we look? There is no better standard than that which our forebears have left us. Those Pilgrim Fathers gave up comfort and security. They broke ties with home and friends to follow an ideal. They overlooked the hardships and faced the dangers of an unknown land with heads high and joy in their hearts. These men were fulfilling a dream of freedom. None considered sacrifice. Americans think with pride of our first struggle for freedom. The colonists gave up security and protection in return for liberty. They risked their very existence on the ship of state, which they turned from certain safety, under the mother country, to the unknown perils of self-government. Did any call it sacrifice? Dear to our hearts is the story of the American pioneers. Again and again, these men and women abandoned all the comforts of their homes to cross the western frontier and to settle in a wilderness. Cheerfully, they accepted privations and overcame ob- stacles. They were building a nation and would not be turned aside. In the records of their achievements, they spoke no word of sacrifice. How is it possible to ask, For what must we sacrifice? Our forefathers struggled and fought, bled and died to carve a civilization out of the wilderness. With the ideals of unity and liberty in their hearts, they constructed a mighty empire, which was given to us to foster and to guard. America is every man and woman who has lived in it or died for It. We cannot betray their trust. In the face of this country ' s great danger, the American people must not lose the conception of sacrifice which their forebears possessed. To our forefathers, there was nothing too great to give for their cause. We must have the same attitude. The leaders of this country must give up politics for patriotism. Laljor must give up hard earned privileges for more intensive production. Capital must put love of country ahead of love for profits. Everyone of us must forget personal advantages for the preservation of life itself. It would be better to choose a lower standard of living than to have a con- quei-or force it upon us. No matter what the cost, we must be victorious. Times change! ' Conditions alter! But there is one American ideal which is eternal. This is the passion for freedom. This is our heritage. Let us prove worthy of this inheri- tance and preserve it to offer to our descendants. Let no one speak of sacrifice! NANCY GIBSON.

America is humming with the joyous song of whirring turbines and clattering machines. Workers strive as nev- er before; they labor with a new purpose — freedom for free-thinking nations. Home ' s Contribution to Victory Senior A essay — fourth place How can the home contribute to victory? Let us consider four outstanding ways. These are keeping the home intact, mailing sacrifices cheerfully, obeying the rules, and serving in the home. The discussion of these four main factors of the home ' s contri1)U- tion is given from a personal standpoint; that is, what the individual can do. In keeping the home intact and happy, there is the greatest value in pleasant mari- tal relations. Any strain in marriages is a sure beginning to unhappiness and dispute in the home. The dissatisfaction of home-life to any member of a family leads to contu- macy; in time of war, this, needless to say, must be carefully avoided. Sacrifices are not hard to make. All of us must realize this fact at some time or another. What time could be better than the present in which to realize that these sacrifices, whether large or small, will help greatly in our winning of the war? One must admit, for example, that the shortage on tires may at first seem hard; but in this day and age, bus and other transportation facilities are such that the obstacles in the way of reaching our destinations are by no means insurmountable. We must bear with rationing, for in comparison with our Allies, we have many more resources than they. It is important also that we should be satisfied with this rationing. To do this, we must not attempt to procure more of the scarce commodities than is our just share. The hoarding of sugar and tires is a needless, infantile characteristic which has been shown by some leople to an alarming extent. Such people are just the ones to lead us to a form of stricter rationing in the future. We must not believe that sacrifice is the only contribution of the home to victory, for what could be more helpful than obedience to the rules of black-outs and air-raid alarms? Any person with the mental capacity of minor years can easily and fully under- stand the complete and simple rules of black-outs and of air-raids in case of an invasion. A person should not be carelessly oblivious of all the important factors in putting these rules into effect. During the preliminary air-raid drills, which we have recently under- gone, many people were known to disobey the rules in air-raid instructions. These citi- zens are answerable for the slow response of our population to the realization of the necessity of obedience. If we. in the future, are able to make these peonle understand the important reason for coherence, we shall have gone a long way on the road to vic- tory. Home is our safest haven; therefore, why should anyone resent having to stay there during an alarm? Another way to certain victory is to maintain a cautious silence at all times. In speaking of silence, we do not necessarily mean going about tight-lipped and not uttering a sound. This, of course, would be juvenile to the highest degree. But silence will certainly help us avoid spreading malicious rumors. The telephone is a wonderful invention. It is extremely dangerous, though, if used as a way and means of idle gos- sip and hysterical revelations, which might give aid to the enemy. Correspondence, however, is a much safer way to convey information. Carrying on correspondence is a great function in the lives and hearts of these boys: therefore, it should be made a habit by all of us. A letter should not tell of the hardships at home but of the more cheerful details of the scenes and the people he has known so well. What a satisfaction it is to the boys to be able to receive gifts from home I When they are away, no matter how unhappy their home-life has been, the realilzation that they actually are lacking the comfort and security of home comes to them. The much encouraged buying of war bonds and stamps brings us to the last of the topics on serving in the home and seemingly most important. The name signifies well the reason for buying these stamps. It should give us the feeling of pride to know that we have given some of our daily allowances in the homes to the worthiest of causes. In addition, we are making an excellent investment. It is the patriotic duty of those at home to buy these stamps and bonds because some of us are not able to fight in the war; therefore, we should do our share towards paying for it! ! Yes, indubitably, the home can contribute to victory. By keeping our homes intact and happy, we maintain morale on the home front and thus enhance morale on the bat- tle front. To make sacrifices cheerfully, to offer unstinted obedience to the myriad of new emergency rules, to indulge in any or all of the patriotic civilian activities at oui ' dis- I osal are but small tasks in such chaotic times. But by so doing, we in the homes are emulating the gallant boys on the firing line. We. too. are doing our bit for victory and for the preservation of our precious way of life. JACKY OXFORD. A12 one hundred fifty-two ' i Democracy: The Greatest Enterprise Lower division essay— first place Every loyal citizen of the United States is a share holder of a magnificent corpor- ation, his own government. He can not prosper without the aid of his government, and likewise this same government in order to succeed must be supported by the stock- holder. What he gives in payment to his government is not a sacrifice but rather an in- vestment. The i:ayment, or rather his payments, secure for him a part ownership in the corporation, his government. In order to remain a loyal member of this company, he gives his whole-hearted enthusiasm and support. He invests in his government. A sacrifice is the giving up of something which one wants or needs, without thought of gain: an investment is a payment for which there is a dividend e.xpected. What are his dividends? you might ask. They are chiefly freedom, equality, justice, and represen- tation and participation in his government. It is the obligation and pleasure of each loyal citizen to make an investment rather than a sacrifice for the maintenance and highest success of the government. The Pilgrims, those founders of our Democratic ways of life, whose iron strength of character and courage left a clear imprint on the nation, did not consider their strug- gles as a sacrif ice. They were fully aware that they were going to a new world devoid of all civil inhabitants where lived only savage men. bloodthirsty and treacherous. They knew that besides the casualties of the sea and other inconceivable perils before them, there would be meager crops and famine, never ending toil, disease, and poverty in the manner of all things. They knew the many dangers and difficulties were great but not invincible with the help of God. With His help, they conquered them; and so they received their dividend in the form of this freedom for their posterity. Democracy is not something for nothing, nor is it nothing tor something. Was It not Captain Paul Jones, who, in the battle of the Bonhomme Richard and the Serapis, shouted defiance amidst the cries of his dying men and the crashing of cannon balls through his ship ' s hulk and rigging? When asked to surrender, Never, cried he, I have not yet begun to fight! Captain Jones, you say, did not receive proper recogni- tion for his services to his adopted land. No. he along with too many others did not live to know his great fame and glory although, surely, he had the utmost satisfaction in knowing he was fighting for a noble and righteous cause. Washington and his men at Valley Forge were among many who fought to secure our freedom. They paid for a large share in the corporation. They had a great hope and inward zeal — these men. They aimed, suffered, and fought for a high goal. To- day, we must pay for our share as they did; and we must fight to preserve that free- dom which they willed to us. The Pilgrims were the forerunners of a great host of pioneers as we today are the forerunnersof a great host of peacemakers. Therefore, we must prepare ourselves for the task which is to be our investment. As the youth of yesterday, so, we the youth of today must strive to cherish the sacred inheritance which has been bequeathed to us: freedom, e;;uality, and justice. Believing in this inheritance, we willingly give our all to that greatest of Corporations, the one which pays the highest dividends; Democracy.

JOYCE HARPER, A12 07ie hundred fiftii-three Willi ngness in Sdcrifi ice Organization essay — first place — Philomathian Let none of us be so bold as to assume that our victory can be won by sheer power of men and arms, but rather let us realize that the key to victory lies in our hands. Whether we be young or old. victory needs to be placed in the door of sacrifice, the door of united sacrifice — to bring to us our fought-for reward. Therefore, let us sacrifice our time, our energy, and our pleasures; and let us sacrifice them with a glad and willing heart, knowing, as we do, that these sacrifices are just another step toward our ultimate victory. True, the men across the seas, shouldering arms in defense, are soldiers; and the men and women in the factories, working ceaselessly to produce the instruments of war are soldiers. However, behind these peoples is the great multitude of Amer- ican soldiers, who through their willingness to sacrifice, can fight side by side with the trained Army men to further the cause of their country. You and I, the students of the United States, are, most of us. of these soldiers; and to carry on our duties on the home front, we must have two objectives. First, we must have a sincere belief in the purpose for which we are fighting; and second we must have the courage to stand by this belief. What is this purpose? Liberty! One word, and yet through the history of our nation, that is the ideal for which great patriots, great statesmen, great Americans have given their lives. It means so much, this one word; it means freedom; it means equality; it means justice; and to all of us who know no other way, liberty simply means living. It is never omitted from a patriotic speech, nor is its value ever questioned; it means so much to us; and yet. we are actually unconscious of the great part it plays in our lives. But when this ideal is threatened, as it is now, we are awakened to the realization of what living would be like without our liberty. How then can we but believe, as our fore- fathers believed, that it is worth a sacrifice, worth even the greatest sacrifice. Through the knowledge of the greatness of this ideal, we must gain strength to en- courage in ourselves and in others, the expression of our faith. However, not only must we tell the world of our united efforts; but we must show that we are willing to sacrifice for the victory that must be ours if this ideal is to be preserved. So if we execute with a willingness and a fervor our duties, in this chaotic struggle, our sacrificing will not have been in vain, for the door siiall be opened; and victory will lie just beyond. JACQUE WILLMANN, All Sentry Under the cover of darkness Ghostly ships set sail. Going on their missions of death, Missions they cannot fail. There are no banners flying. No loved ones to cheer them on, Only the inky blackness. As they lift anchor, and are gone. But there is some one watching As they go silently toward the foe. One gallant lady standing. And cheering them as they go. There ' s a gleaming proudness in her eyes As a mother of her son; There ' s a knowing smile upon her lips. The victory will be won! She ' ll keep her vigil always. Straining her eyes to the sea. Waiting and praying for her boys to return; She ' s the guardian of liberty. BETTY TEPPER. A12 one hiDidred fifty-four And We Shall Hear Night lias couched over the hills where we Have often strolled, dreaming the dreams of youth, Unmindful of the gift Democracy Has given us. In searching after truth. Have we forgotten that those in distant lands Are not allowed to ponder or to pray To GOD? That they cannot, with folded hands Sit do-wn to dream? That each arising day Brings only endless labor, a sharp command And ever-present fear? Are we so blind To bleeding hearts we cannot understand The dawn that THEY have sought but cannot find. This truth 1 know that we shall hear their plea And battle through this night to make them free. BETTE JANE GERSON, A12 The Road Ahead Upper division essay — second place In these times of national emergency, one hears much of unity and sacrifice, often proclaimed in the same breath from the soapbox and the pulpit, in the casual meeting, and in Congress. Why do leaders in all fields and of all backgrounds make the accomp- lishment of these ideals a prerequisite for victory, for the winning of the battle, and also for the final peace? It has been said, quoted, and requoted that Man cannot live for the present hour alone, but must always be sowing seed for the future harvest. This is applicable to the situation in which we now find ourselves. If we are to gain that precious, final victory, we must prepare ourselves for it now, individually and nationally. Each person must be a unit, co-operating with other like units in building the foundation on which all international relations will have to be built. Unity must come early into this picture. Having the fundamental singleness of pur- pose in gaining victory, we must build upon this unity, a still greater unity of all free thinking persons to preserve this great, humane form of government called democracy. — government of the people, by the people, for the people. We. as individuals, must regulate our differences according to our constitution, established on basic Christian ethics. We. as a nation, must iron out our domestic problems in labor, politics, and the church so that we may show the rest of this war-torn world what real brotherhood means. Then, perhaps, the more important word, sacrifice, which underwrites unity, comes into focus. What if this war is forcing us to sacrifice our time, effort, money, and lux- uries? Is not the final reward greater? Also, we must sacrifice some of our mean prej- udices, our arrogance, and egotism. We often hear the statement: We must get this war over as quickly as possible, with little waste of time, energy, and money so we can help put the world back where it was in the good old days. Ideas as selfish and stupid as these ought not to exist. We must never go back to the good old days, for then we should be retrogressing to a place from which we should not be able to extricate our- selves. The end of civilization, as we think of it ideally, would come in pain, death, and tragedy. The selfishness and unwillingness to sacrifice even personal comforts have caused the downfall of once great nations: and our turn may come next if we don ' t understand that the prize is one for which it is worth running, working, or even dying. The mistaken notion that we are fighting to save the nation from mere physical conquest is still entirely too prevalent in our free-thinking land. This war is not so triv- ial as that. It is a war between the powers of good and of evil in the world, a direct challenge to the Christian Ideals on which every truly great country is founded. This awful fact ought to make every true American ready to sacrifice all that he possesses, even to life itself, to preserve the true form of government, instead of nonchalantly shrugging the shoulders while he burns up the good rubber on the tires or eats sweets made from hoarded sugar. The tact is that we, though professing sympathy for those who have been conquered by the now prevailing forces of evil, are not ready to come together as a strong nation and to help them out of their slavery. We talk about what should have been done by those leaders who were in control before this war started, saying, I should have done this or that. What good is that question going to do now? The enemy is at the gate, and time is growing short. The time is now ripe not only to unify our own country, but also to come together with other nations to begin and to create world peace. We must sacrifice money to re- construct this world, physically, mentally, and morally after this war. We must come to understanding of other nations as if they were a part of our country. This will breed confidence in us and in them. After the final victory on the battle field, we must gain the victory at the peace con- ference. What use the victory if it again leads only to another war, perhaps worse, even, than this? Some of our national pride will have to be sacrificed then to achieve the democratic, international peace, where no one nation is better than its neighbor. No. not back to th e good old days. but on to the life, simple, natural, and good, through unity and sacrifice, that is our real hope.

I Shall Die Upper division short story — first place As I sit in this small, thatched hut writing, the thunder in the East is loud. The trop- ic heat presses down upon me, drawing moisture through my uniform. Somewhere a bugle is sounding: somewhere some men are shouting. And across the jungle, the guns are roaring as the enemy draws near; but I write on. I listen little to the noise of the war. 1 feel nothing but a fearful pulling at my heart. Why am I frightened? I ' m frightened because I ' m going to die — because I volun- teered yesterday for a job which had to be done. I don ' t know why I volunteered. I ' m a small, unheroic man. But as we were standing in ranks, the Sergeant told us what had to be done; and he asked for a volunteer. 1 had no intention of offering when, suddenly, something strong inside of me said, You can do it. I didn ' t believe it, so I stood there motionless. Then that same strong something shoved me forward. Sounds fantastic, but that ' s how I volunteered. No heroics on my part. I wanted nothing of it. But somehow I volunteered, and soon I shall die. Why do 1 know I shall die? Nothing but logic tells me, nothing l)ut that fearful pulling at my heart. In a few small minutes, I shall leave this hut and enter that steaming jungle. I shall be alone. On my back, I shall carry a keg of dynamite and a bundle of clothes. For my defense, I shall have one Army revolver. I shall enter the jungle through a secret trail which winds, and twists, and tunnels through the underbrush. I shall sweat, and swear, and fight the foliage. 1 shall push on until the roar of guns is upon me and until our lines of defense are around me. 1 shall push on unseen by my friends who desperately fight the advancing foe. I shall soon hear a great tumult of sound. Ahead will lie the raging river and the only portion of its banks not yet in the enemy ' s hands. Forward I shall go, closer and closer to the river, closer and closer toward the job I must do. Before me, the foliage will be thin: and 1 shall see the river, its bank, and my friends lying flat with their guns in theii- hands, waiting as 1 am waiting now. As the trail ends, I shall crawl out to them through tne low. sharp underbrush. They will slap me on the back pnd laugh. They will mutter something about courage, and guts, and heroes. Then I shall laugh with a hardy American laugh, while deep within me my heart will be pulling: and I shall be desper- ately afraid. They will quickly lash the dynamite, the clothes, and my gun upon a log, I shall drop off the bank into that rushing, tropic water. 1 shall flatten myself on the log: and after a confident smile, I shall sweep off, fighting and paddling for the opposite bank. Soon I shall reach the liank; and while lying low in the water, I shall unlash my belongings and push th em up on the shore. 1 shall crawl up. pulling them with me into the jungle. 1 shall take off my wet uniform, and 1 shall put on the dry clothes in the bundle, the clothes of the enemy. Then I shall smear mud on the clothes, then on my face, hands, and legs. 1 know that I shall look like the enemy, for I am small: and my disguise is good. I shall be in captured territory then, and I shall walk swiftly through the trail which leads up to the bridge. The dynamite will be on my back, and my pistol will be at my side. Perhaps, I shall suddenly be startled by enemy soldiers coming np behind me. But they will not notice me. and we shall walk together toward the bridge which will soon come into view. Then we shall break out of the jungle into a large clearing before a steel bridge which spans the wide, unpassable rapids of that part of the river. I shall see immediately the strategic value of that bridge. I shall see a clear- ing filled with an army: back of the clearing in the jungle will be another army wait- ing to cross its span. I shall see the high, narrow bridge filled with men. all crossing quickly, moving on to conquer the lands and the people beyond. 1 shall know immedi- ately my job. If that bridge were cut, the armies of the enemy would be halted on that side of the river. Days would be lost. The enemy on the other side would quickly be subdued. American reinforcements could be brought up. Then, perhaps, an American offensive would begin. Yes. I shall know my job. Perhaps, I shall then move among the little men, the countless, anxious little men who wait their turn at the bridge, I shall walk with them toward the span. Then 1 shall bring a slender fuse over my shoulder, and hold it near a lighter with which I shall be furnished. The silence of the little men, and the grating of their s iked shoes on the steel l)ridge will heighten my tremendous tear. But we shall move on rather swiftly toward the center of the bridge where my job will be done. My legs will be weak. Every move, every breath, will pain my lungs and heart. Perhaps, I shall stumble against the man in front. Perhaps, I shall trip the man behind. Perhaps. I shall find them watching me as we move toward the arch of the bridge. Then. I shall flip the light in my hand and hold it against that slender fuse. Perhaps, the soldier next to me will see my actions. He will i-aise a shout. But. then quickly I shall thrust the keg in a steel brace and then run as fast as 1 can through the soldiers toward the end of the bridge. But the fuse will, perhaps, be mistimed: and before I can reach the shore it will come. The explosion will break the span. Steel from the bridge will pierce my body. I shall be thrown in great pain through the air, and I shall fall far to the tumultuous river below. But not even the horror of the pain or of the tall will connare to the horror and fear in my heart. I stop writing. I am sweating profusely. My hands are shaking, and my heart has the feel of death. Then I wonder in my fear if I could escape my fate. 1 find myself plan- ning to have a sudden fevei-, planning to injure myself, anything to escape that death. I stop thinking for a moment. I hear once more a bugle sounding. I hear men shout- ing near the jungle ' s edge, and I hear the roar of the guns across the land as the enemy draws near. But above them, I hear the voice of my Sergeant. He is calling me. He is telling me that the time has come. I pause, and hear once more the jungle ' s roar. Then something strong within me answers I ' m coming. Sergeant, I ' m coming. DAVin FREEMAN, A12 Unity Is Achieved throush Sacrifice Organization essay — second place — Philomatlnlan Every American Ijoy or girl who has been educated In the public schools has been taught the value of unity through sacrifice. All through our school lives, we have learned to sacrifice small personal liberties for the good of the class. We learn to sacrifice the desire to talk with our fellow classmates so that the entire class may study. We learn to complete our assignments so that the class may move forward steadily. This coopera- tive way of lite, which is taught to us today while we are young, must be preserved in our minds and practiced throughout our lives. Unity through personal sacrifice gives us the American way of life. All the laws of our government are made because we find it necessary to enforce the sacrifice of privileges by individuals for the benefit of all. We sacrifice our privilege to speed on the highway so that others may be free from danger. We require government inspection of foods to prevent spread of disease. The unity of our nation would cease if citizens did not abide by laws; but today we feel a need for unity stronger than that brought about by law. We must attain a unity of ambition, a unity of high morale; and we must unite in striving for a single goal, victory. War is an abnormal condition and must be dealt with as such. In peace time, we could live with the thought in mind of bettering ourselves or our community to achieve success. Now we know that we. the American people, must unite in a great staHd for the nation as a whole to gain victory. Personal goals and desires must, at every opportunity, be put aside temporarily for the good of the entire United States. Many Americans today are sacrificing their private lives so that the United States may remain whole and united. Soldiers, whether in train- ing camp or in battle, are sacrificing their personal liberties more than any other class of United States citizens. Each member of the Red Cross and each volunteer defense worker are doing this country a service through sacrifice. Each factory laborer who is working to his full capacity is helping to win the war. Each housewife who plans her menus to include only strong body building foods is making a small but important con- tribution toward preserving the strength and unity of the nation; thus we are assured of an ultimate victory. Little do many Americans realize the importance of voluntary sacrifice. So many of us feel that we can go on now at our unnecessarily high consumption rate, and that when the time comes, whatever we have used or consumed in our desire to have all of our former privileges, will be replaced through some imaginary source. Because of this ignorant mortal desire to look out for oneself first, many rationing laws will have to be enacted; and more restrictive regulations will come in the future. One of our most important sacrifices will be to comply uncomplainingly with rules and restrictions. Be- yond this, what can we sacrifice to achieve national unity? We cannot all be leaders on the battle fronts abroad, but we can help to lead our community on the home front by setting a good example of a patriotic citizen. If the government says to economize on woolen materials, we should fulfill the obligations of our citizenship by starting right now to eliminate unnecessary pockets and pleats on our clothing. The sooner Americans cut down consumption of products, the longer the pres- ent supply will last. We should avoid hoarding, for the nation can produce only limited supplies of many formerly abundant articles, and certainly not enough for abnormally high consumption. The sooner each American awakens to the fact that it may take a decade to win this war. the sooner the nation ' s fighting force will have the full support of one-hundred- and-thirty-five-million Americans behind it. This awakening will be achieved in the mind of every American, and will be expressed in conservation of every useful article and the stamping out of waste. This conservation will mean sacrifices at every step of the way on our long march to victory, but the unity which will be achieved through this sacrifice will be invaluable. Americans must understand and realize the fact that while we have been living in peace, other nations have been sacrificing to prepare themselves for war and for the ultimate victory of selfish beliefs. We cannot win this war merely by saying that we live in a geographically superior nation and that we are a physically superior race. We can attain victory by proving these facts through active intelligent sacrifice in our daily lives. Our nation will become more strongly united when every citizen proves that he is aware of his nation ' s predicament by engaging in active service on the home front or on the battle front. This proof of our love for the United States will win the war for our side.

The hands moved swiftly; the dials turned; another switch was thrown. Then rhyth- mically, mechanically, the fingers of one hand were tapping on the key. A message winged out into the night.

In his chest. Skyrockets were shooting in his head. The ringing sound faded. Instead, there was the jarring thunder of guns. He could feel the recoils in the trembling of the steel plates beneath him. Then for the first time, he realized that he was lying on his back. His senses sharpened. A precise, academic voice in his head, quoted a passage from a text he ' d studied at the Naval Radio Training Base. The first duty of a naval radioman is to stay on post during an emergency as long as is humanly and physically possi — . He made an effort to move and spasms of pain shot through his body.

He leaned on the table, moved one hand to the familiar position on the key. The other hand turned a switch and clumsily adjusted one of the black faced dials. He surveyed his instruments. Everything was set. His fingers began to drum the key. He watched his fingers while red hot needles burned In his lungs as if they were something apart from himself. They appeared to move with a tedious lifelessness. He wondered if anyone would be able to understand his message. His breath was coming in gasps now. His hand worked mechanically. He found himself thinking of the men, . . . those who sweated down there in the engine room, many feet below the water line, . . . and of those other grim faced men in dark blue uniforms and white liats who stood on the bridge. What of them? How many had died? And then he realized how much that dark blue uniform meant to him, how much he loved this symbol of his country. And suddenly he knew that the battle was over. The vessel no longer shuddered under the recoil of the big guns. Somewhere far off, he thought he heard the bugle The battle was won! The ringing came back to his ears. But now it didn ' t bother him. It was sweeter sounding, . . .and grand, . . .like organ music and a million voices singing in the distance. His eyelids drooped shut. He was very tired. With an effort, he opened them, noted the position of the hands of the clock which stared out at him from the panel, and then watched his fingers, moving more slowly all the time. He looked back into the face of the clock. Time was nothing. His fingers stopped momentarily, then with a little flour- ish, beat four more times, . . .and relaxed. He welcomed the darkness that flooded around him. He was tired, very tired. The singing grew louder in his ears: the pain was gone. He felt the pull on his shoulder was more urgent.

The basketball club offers an opportunity for all girls to participate in a sport which requires co-ordination, skill, and teamwork. A tournament was held at the beginning of the term in which various teams competed for the championship. Basketball was one of the most popular of the girls ' sports; it stimulated competitive spirit. Archery Club The Archery Club is an organization for all girls who have shot a Junior Columbia. The aim of the club is to develop good posture, keen and accurate vision, and better coordination. Archery is one of the tew individual sports that can be continued after graduation because it can be played by an individual and in a small area. The constant pull toward higher scores lures the archer on. Each year in the spring, there is a National Archery Contest in which many schools participate. This contest is one to which all members of the Archery Club look forward each spring. The members are: Marie Condee, Margery Cook, Charlotte Dubrow, Nazelie Elmas- sian.

The morale of a school, sometimes called school spirit. is usually demonstrated! at athletic competitions by agile young men, tilled with boundless energy. These yell leaders are important in bringing out. as forcefully as is possible, the Student Body spirit to support school teams. This term, the task of bringing to life this subtle force that makes a team out-do itself, has fallen to the three Roman yell kings. Leland Potter, Larry Asher. and Vincent Lonibardi. These boys deserve a great deal of credit for their enthusiastic and untiring efforts to unite the Student Body in the support of its teams for victory.

Mr. White ' s 1942 Roman baseball team played for the first time in the toughest league in the city, the Southern League. Although our team failed to win titles, it was easily ranked as one of the better teams in the city. With such foes as Riis, Fremont, Washington, and Bell forming their opposition, the Pioneer forces finished the season with three wins and four losses in €ity League competition. In the practice games that preceded the opening of the League competitions, the local outfit came out on the long end of the score in almost all of its encounters. Among those were victories over such noteworthy teams as Fairfax, 1942 Western League champs, Gardena, which reached the semi-finals of the Dorsey Invitational Tournament, and University High, always a threat in the Western loop. The City League race got under way February 27, with the local pillpounders drawing the very strong Fremont aggregation. When the dust of battle had cleared away, the Pathfinders had come out with a 6-2 advantage. Joe Sciarra. Fremont hurler, limited the locals to four scattered hits. Costly errors proved to be our team ' s undoing. The second League outing of the year also proved to be disastrous to the Pioneer cause as the Washington Generals, paced by pitcher Leo Helfrich, tacked a 3-0 shutout on the Roman record book. Determined to win its first League fray, the Roman horsehiders invaded the Roosevelt diamond to do battle with the Boyle Heights nine. For six and one-half innings, it looked like a local win; but with one down in the last inning, the Roughriders pushed over three runs to gain a shaky 4,3 victory.

The championship-hound Riis outfit added tlie Roman pelt to their already long list of victories by the score of 2-0. Pete Barisoft ' s cagey pitching was just too good for the Roman Pioneers. The varsity re- turned to winning form at the expense of a weak Huntington Park squad. Gordon Stuart, local chucker, limited the foes to two runs while his team mates slapped the Hunting- ton Park pitchers for ten scores. The League finals saw Bobby Williams, blond thatched Roman huiler. handcuff the Jefferson Democrats with one hit. George Slugger Trusel led the Romans with two beautiful hits. The final score read L.A. 14, Jefferson 0. That ended the season for the Romans, whose record showed three wins and four losses. Although that does not look favorable on paper, the practice wins over outstanding teams in other leagues stamped them as one of the better teams in the city. The boys who performed so capalily throughout the season for Los Angeles High were: Hal Handley, ace catcher. He was a dependable hittei ' , besides being one of the city ' s best performers liehind the plate. Clark Handley, shortstop. Clark was the clean-up hitter on the local nine. His great fielding at shortstop was a joy to Roman fans. He and his brother Hal will be sorely missed next year. He led the team in hitting. one hundred eiijhl ij-t ini George Trusel, outfield. George was outstanding among tlie brilliant players of this season. He finished with a batting average in the high three hundreds. He is a senior. Bill Sarni, first base. Although only a tenth grader. Bill led the team in hitting. If his play improves in the next two years as it has this year, he should be one of the best players in Los Angeles High ' s history. Bob Seigel second base. Bob, a junior, held down the key-stone sack with an en- viable finesse all season long. He will be a big asset next year. Bert Schneider, third base. Babe shared the hot corner with Dick Walsh. Both played very dependable ball and will be exceedingly welcome when they return next year. Bob Turner, outfield. Bob ' s heavy hitting and dependable fielding was a great aid to the locals throughout the season. Dick Klingensmith, Gordon Stuart, and Bob Williams formed the Roman mound staff. Stuart, a two year letterman. is graduating this year. Williams and Klingensmith will carry on for L. A. next season. Sergei Freeman, outfield. He was another one of our stellar fly-hawks who played fine baseball all season. Ray Wolochow, Dave Orozco, Bill Campbell, and Jimmy Basso rounded out the Roman varsity baseball squad.

Under the coaching of Mr. Bert LaBrucherie, another very successful season has been brought to a close with the win and loss ledger definitely in the black. A total of seven wins and two ties comprised the practice schedule, with five victories and only one defeat in League play. This impressive total was enough to put L.A. in second place Members of the team are: Jim Basso, John Brooks, David Danskin, Steve Knuchell. Malcolm MacKinnon, John Richartz, Pete Stafford, Terumi Yamaguchi, Tom Plumb, Ronald Dumas, and Ernest Anast. This year ' s tenth grade baseball team has turned out to be one of the best in the history of the school, for it has gone through the season undefeated in the Southern League, called the toughest in the city. The stellar players on this championship team were Streeter, Erb, Meyer, Sonenberg, Buckby, Silverman, Peterson, Kasal, Eaton, Tas- sop, Merril, Danskin, and Arroyo.

' ROMAN TRACK Coach Graves Coach Chambers 7 Begining the 1942 track season, the mighty cinder-men of Rome are entering their first year in the championship Southern League. Many of the ace trackmen from last year ' s Western League champions and many new stars will be out to capture the League title. Although we have yet to play our first meet at the time this book goes to press, there is no doubt that we shall have one of the best seasons in our history. The track season starts April 10 when Fairfax travels to the Roman oval. This is a practice meet; but nevertheless, the L.A. cindermen will be out to subdue their ancient rivals. This meet will test the strength of our boys and will prepare them for the following week when our spikesters travel to Jefferson. The Democrats always boast a strong team; and this is a meet to which the mighty men of Rome are looking forward. Following the Jefferson battle, L.A. High has three consecutive home meets. Roose- velt, Fremont, and Washington will be our guests; and each meet should prove to be a thriller. The last League contest is with Manual Arts High at Manual- The Romans are fortunate in having the Southern League finals on our oval. Los Angeles High has always been proud of the athletes that our coaches. Mr. Homer Giaves and Mr. Philo Chambers, turn out. These coaches stress the importance of good sportsmanship which makes good citizens out of these boys. Whether the Romans win or lose, the outcome of the meet is soon forgotten; but the joys of competition and sportsmanship are always remembered.

The field events are gradually rounding into shape with Bill Hansen ' s holding top honors in the shot-put with a mark of well over 4S feet, and Joe Naar pushing him con- sistently. The high-jumping is well taken care of by our ace jumper, Red Kline. Bill Rich is second man in this event. Broad-jumping, which seems to be a specialty at L.A., is well done by three boys, Bert West. John Lane, and George de Gennaro, all pushing the 20 foot mark. The three ace pole vaulters, this year, are Jack Carson. Bob Blackwell, and Chuck Young. Carson has been hitting the twelve foot mark in piactice and is ex- pected to do better later. In the track events, the Romans are fortunate in having a host of speedy sprinters. First man in the 100 is Alvin Hirsch with the fast time of 10.2. Hirsch is closely con- tested by Gene Bausman, John Lane, and Bert West. Hirsch also runs the 220 in 22.6. Bert West, John Lane, and Don Amy are also running the 220 and will be garnering many points for the team. The outstanding performers in the 440 are Eugene Day, Comer Heine, and Rex Link. Close behind them come Bob Mclnerny and Calvin Spann. The best mark in this event so far has been 55 sec. Eugene Day, Ernie Spearman, and Forest Gillespie are the outstanding runners in the 880. The mile grind is run by the Spearman brothers and Ralph Gold, all returning lettermen who give this event reserve strength. Gold ran the exceptional pre-season time of 4:47. The hurdles are taken by Bob HoUingsworth and Jim Renfrew, of whom great work is expected. The eight-man relay has yet to be organized; but with all the material at hand, there is no doubt but that It will be record breaking. Los Angeles High has a fine team. in I one hundred eirihty-elyht BEE AND CEE TRACK The Bee track team is material for Rome ' s future varsity. The Bees, entering their first year of competition in the Southern League, are com- peting with some of the toughest opponents in the city. Since L. A. High boasts of an unusually strong team this season, the Bee trackmen should place high in the city standings. The members of the team are: 100 — Reith, Washer, Stern, and Chuck West; 220 — Perkins. Reith. Stern, and Winship; 660 — Ernie Spearman, Magallon, and Sheppard; 1320— Ernie Spearman. Griffin.

Third row: Gehle, Owen, Goldberg, Scull, Shaffner, Kendall, Cohen, J., Wyman, Boswell, Fixler, Burns, R., Jacobs, A. The Los Angeles High School gym team made a brilliant start this season by scor- ing victories over Hamilton, University, Hollywood, and Fairfax, only to lose the first League encounter with Washington. With revenge in their hearts, the local musclemen chalked up an impressive win over a strong Roosevelt team, but lost the next meet with Manual Arts. A week later, these boys came through and whipped a powerful Fremont aggregation to finish in a tie for second place. Among those eligible to enter the Southern League Semi-Final meet are: C. Tsuna- waki, S. Pearleman, D. Ross, B. HoUingsworth, H. Cooper, W. Adler, C. Larzalere, S. Watkins, J. Burns, T. Kawakami, and L. Potter. Other Gym Club members include: J. Cowan, H. Mattus. B. Jacobs, J. Karkasian, J. Skull, D. Van Luven, S. Wyman, A. Fixler. J. Tobin, and B. Bernsteen. 0- ' : m The reason for its great popularity and continued good showings lies in the fact that its members have attained such a tine degree of coordination between mind and muscle. This experience, which the boys acquire here, does not leave them as soon as they graduate, but remains with them tor the rest of their lives. Thus the Gym Team answers the nation ' s call for better developed bodies and minds. o?ie hundred ninety d«GENNAf 0 TENNIS TEAM Top row, left to right: Adler, Peck, Shea, Godshall, Ralphs.

Front row: Gtinnet, Sternberg, Freeman, Gillespie, Scherfee, Hall, Johnson, Remmel, Blackmore. Kitrell, Wright, Levee. One of Los Angeles High School ' s specialties is tennis; and in proof of this fact, Coach Howard Lea has produced another marvelous team. For the last three years, the tennis team has won the City Championship against all odds; and it looks as though the City title may be ours again. Although the line-up is almost entirely new this year, the Roman squad has made an envious record so far. There are only three returning lettermen, John Levee, Forest Gillespie, and John Shea, who, on account of an injured leg, cannot play yet. The squad is largely composed of juniors. This team began with an only average showing by defeating Mark Keppel 4-3 in the first match of the season. This, of course, was due to the fact that there are so many new members on the team. Now the team has established itself, and it easily rolled over a weak Belmont team 7-0. Following this came the only defeat of the Roman squad. A strong S. C. frosh team edged out a 4-3 victory over the Romans. However, this dis- appointment only spurred on the team to a decisive 7-0 win over Glendale. and then to another 7-0 shutout over Marshall at Griffith Park. Members of the team are: John Levee. Ronald Dunis, Forest Gillespie, Jim Scher- fee, Byron Miller, John Shea, John Kohn, Dean Johnson, Dudley Wright, Jim Mitchel, Stuart Remmal, Bob Kitrell, Wesley Lutzger, and John Hall. GOLF TEAM Left to right: English, MacKinnon, Smith. Revay, Westberg, Buonarigo, Shahian. With only one letteiman fioni last year ' s City Championship team returning, coach R. C.

In past years, the L.A. team has set many high marks on the fairways of Southern California and has captured the City crown for several suc- cessive years. Honors were brought to L.A. High in the Inglewood Invitational Tournament at Potrero in which Ed Revay placed third in City medal competition. The combined scores of Ed Revay and Jack Shahian were lower than those of the two-man scores of any other high school. Jim Westberg and Jack Shahian placed high in the driving contest. The team, this year, is composed of six men, Ed Revay, Jack Shahian, Jim West- berg, Bill English, Malcolm MacKinnon, and Joe Smith. VARSITY SWIMMING ! Coach Brown. : ? Tf p row, left to right: Gayman, Mogge, Gattdino, Lull, Bonner, Messenheinier. Second row: Humphries, Hanson. Hull, Meyer, Stern, Whelock. First row: Bolan, Redderhoff, Boner, Johnson, Ross, Shiba. This year ' s varsity team was greatly handicapped by the loss of so many lettermen of last year ' s squad. The members more than made up for this by their great spirit because they practiced so diligently. This is coach Carl Brown ' s first year coaching water sports, and he has done a fine job in malting excellent showings against strong competition. Much experience was gained in these meets, and the team distinguished itself by its tine sportsmanship. Memliers of the team are: Renaud. Boner, Johnson, and Sayman at sprints; Messen- heinier and Whelock at breaststroke; Hansen at backstroke; Messenheimer and Han- sen at the individual medley; Redderhoufh and Bolin in the 220 distance race; and Ross and Humphries, diving. Our strong relay team consists of Hansen, Messenheimer, and Boner in the medley i-elay; and Johnson, Boner, Gayman, and Renaud in the four- man relay. one hiiiHlrerl ninety-four I ROSS IN A BACK JACK-KNIFE DIVING -THE POPULAR SPORT IN WATER AND AIR BEE AND CEE SWIMMING Top row, left to right: Stassforth, Clevertger, Dimmit, Compere. First row: Shiba, Frank. Desser, Vander Grift. The Roman Bee and Cee swimming teams this year showed great strength and efficiency in their meets. Several members who came up from last year ' s Cee team have provided strong material this year for the Bee and varsity squads. This season, the teams were trained l)y two excellent student coaches, Tom Frees and Bob Scott, who received fine spirit and cooperation from the boys on both squads. The outstand- ing members of the lightweight team this year were: Jack Schirm and Shiba, sprints; Stassforth at breastroke; McKinzie in the 220 free style; and Schirm and Stassforth in the individual medley. This year ' s Cee team took first place in the Compton Invitational Swimming Meet; the boys nosed out Whittier by only two points, and placed first in Southern California. •I Top row, lift to right: Davis.

CLAUDE Oh the ttail Years of toil, labor, and research in one of our leading scientific universities are represented in tlie finished product of the 200-inch telescope. This is the World ' s Largest Eye, perfected to a millionth of an inch, weighing 500 tons. But these years of ceaseless labor have not been in vain, for now lay minds are staggered by mammoth mechanical and astronomical sights which are brought so close to the human eye. With this telescope, we are even able to gaze into the future. At the present time. DAVID FREEMAN is peering into this instrument to foresee the future for the Class of Summer ' 42.
