Strange linw much and yet hciw little this ' Ford .fii trayed. k- gJL was as if I were attem]5tin,t,f to remember a most vivid dreatt bnt recalnng jP onlv vague forms and weird shadows. However I was headed abroad.! As day after day of that great e.xpanse of water extended from horizon to horizon I could not help but realize a keener ajipreciation for the achieve- ments of both Lindbergh and Columbus. At last this land of shadows took shape and landing at the Boulogne-Sur-Mer, we boarded a f|ueer little train for Paris. As our guide led us from one church edifice to another, telling how long; each bad stood, which kings had worshipped in this and which queens had sponsored that ; and as he pointed out the sciuare in which the famous guillotine once stood (though the exact spot is not known) ; as he told us about the Bastille and its fall, the city seemed a shadow of the past. But this gloomy impression was quickly dispelled as returning to our hotel we passed numerous gay cafes, many of which were serving patrons seated at tables arranged along the front walk. An uneventful train trip brought us to Lucerne, Switzerland, the most beauti- ful place T have ever seen. Our hotel was on the side of a heavily wooded moun- tain and commanded a panorama of Lake Lucerne and the snow-cai ped Alps, on the other side of which is Italy. The people of Switzerland are exceedingly sturdy ; even the children are thick-limbed and broad chested. On the way from Lucerne to Pome we tarried at Milan, and without s topping, passed through several other Italian cities and towns among which were Genoa and Pisa. (The Tower of Pisa leans much more than I had ever supposed.) It happened that we arrived at Rome the day after the Pope first left the ' atican grounds, so we found the streets and church steps well covered with wax. the drippings from countless candles, One chooses with difficulty the most interesting point of Rome. The great cathedrals (which in addition to being architectural marvels are monuments to engineering skill), the Roman Baths, the Coliseum, and the Catacomhs. are all so historically vital that the gazer all but sees The glory that was Rome. A side trip from Rome took us to Naples and then to Pompeii, the most intriguing city of all. It is impossible to tell the impressions of my companions ; I can only answer for myself. At this moment it is all so vivid I seem actually to be standing among those ruins of ancient luxury. The chariot ruts in the cobbled streets ; the watering troughs once filled by lead pipes from an aqueduct in the mountains ; one of those ancient wine shops with the stone counter, and the basins ground in the stone to hold the wine { what hilarious imbil)ing must have trans])ired here) ; those immense stone mills for grinding the meal, once dri en by toiling slaves: the large oven of the b;ikerv from which came the city ' s confections; the magnificent dwellings with wonderful mosaics around the foun- tains in the patios; the kitchens containing the very food being cooked when Vesuvius showered the city with its shroud of ashes. As I viewed those manifesta- tions of human thought and life, all so jierfect after nearlv 2,000 vears of oblivion, 14 THE ARTISAN W ' 30 m-- OVER THE ALPS TRAVEL IMPRESSIONS 15 I was conscious of a reaction which to me was very clear but which evades exact expression: From the moment the last men fled to the moment I came seemed but a protracted instant ; I all but saw their fleeting figures turn the corner of eternity. Traveling northward we crossed the Apennines to Venice, which is romantic but filthy. Space does not permit detailed account of Innsbruck, Munich, Bingen, Heidelberg, the Rhine, or Amsterdam, from which we aeroplaned to Brussels ; nor of London, so well known to all English speaking people. After a week in Scotland we returned to Southampton and embarked for New York. Arriving home I was startled by the contrast. Here one could actually get his meal within a half hour ; people on the street seemed to know what they were doing ; new buildings were going up; industries were prospering; trains stepped out as if they were headed for some place ; elevators didn ' t threaten to drop at every moment : the impression was that of a country shaping its destiny, not basking in the reflected glory of times long since trampled under foot by the advancement of science. I was convinced that the United States is a country wonderful beyond adequate appreciation.

We must journey forth into the world. Some of us to college, others of us to various occupations of the world. Whatever our destinations, it is necessary to travel and journey until our final goals or objectives are attained. In facing our new problems let us remember the true Safari spirit, that of courageous, ever onward travel. Lionel Bean, President of W30.

NATHAN 50 THE ARTISAN W 3 THE HISTORY OF THE SAFARI CLASS OF W ' 30 By Roberta Wynne SOPHOArORE YEAR AN eager hut untried cara an of adventurers was welcomed to Manual Arts in the early part of February, 1926. They were as green as tradition has always accredited a class of sophomores. But just wait ! This class of adventurers threw themselves immediately into the long journey through the three years of our high school career. The girls joined the Girls ' League finding true friendshij) awaiting them. Margaret Woods, in the BIO term, was chosen vice-president of that organization. The variety of the opportunities that iNIanual offered us surprised our scrub ' class. But, like true adventurers in a strange land we took advantage of these op- portunities. Morris Soss, George Maulhardt, IMargaret Woods, Carl Ahlfelt, Roku Sugahara anrl Edith Schiller were among those that were admitted to the Scholar- ship Society — the most verdant oasis of school life. The Self-Government associa- tions found the help of so])homores advantageous. New athletic names apjieared this year from our class. Sam Dru!nwright in baseball, George Hilty on the track and Bud Alorehouse and Anthonv Oominis on the basketball squad starred among the athletes of the school. JUNIOR YEAR High ]iinnacles of knowledge confronted us in our junior vear. But we knew thar was gold in them hills and began the ascent in high hopes. The assemblage of the class as a whole at the All party was merely the foundation for our future social success. Under the capable hostess and host, Pauline Littell and Sam Drumright. this event proved the climax of two success- ful years and an introduction to the senior lap of our journey. It did not take the school and the class in particular very long to discover who its future leaders were to be. Russ Hopkins and Anthony Dominis started their activities as classroom presidents. Edith Schiller this year was chosen treasurer of the Girls ' League. Frances Rupert played the leading role in Pierrette Among the Shepherds while only a junior and appeared many times before the school. Jim Eliott was a star on the track thru his entire school life. Lionel Bean made his name a success in classroom work and Imsketball. SENIOR B TERM ' A snap]n ' class of Senior B ' s stepped into 265 on the memorable day, Feb- uary 6, 192 ' ' . ( )ur first action as an organized group was the election of our Sen- ior B officers, . fter a spirited contest Lionel Bean was congratulated on winning the chieftainship of the tribe of Safari. Pauline Littell and Jerry Graham were chosen vice-jiresidents, Carolyn Farrington was elected to record the deeds of the wandering horde, and Rav Ballenger to collect the dues. CLASS HISTORY 51 To properly express the spirit of our class. African sun-helmets of green and tan colors were chosen. Flashing forth in these unique hats on Adelphic Dav. March 21, 1929. the class fairly dazzled the Senior A crusher class. The same day we migrated to the girls ' gym where the delightful Adelphic dance dissolved the spirited differences between the two Senior classes. The Adelphic elections saw the Safari represented by Helen Ra])p. Tini Elliott, and ' alter Martin in the offices of vice-presidents and treasurer. The Senior B ])icnic held May 9th at Exposition Park was a great success chiefly due to its fine group of leaders. The featured social event of the term was the Senior A rece]:)tion. Against the colorful setting of a summery atmosphere the dance was acclaimed a great success. The class of V ' 30 was very fortimate in having three cabinet officers thru this term. They were Edith Schiller, Girls ' League president : Roku Sugahara. Weekly editor : and Charles King, the school manager. Out of the more than one hundred competitors in the National Oratorical Contest on the Constitution, Roku Sugahara placed third. Margaret ' oods, also of our class, was the only girl among the eight finalists. Closing this busy year the entire school joined in holding the student body elections. The results found the .school in very cai)able hands. Leading a student body of 3200 students were Russ Ho]ikins, Frances Rupert, Jim Eliott, Edith Ivie, Len Hodges, Virginia Perry, Downing Fuller, ( ilenn Snyder, George Hilty. Beth- ene Ozenberger, George Maulhardt, Henrv Koslowsky, Fred Kullenburg, and Edith Forslund. SENIOR A TERM With the re-election of our Senior B officers and appointment of our secre- tary. Alma York, the class plunged enthusiastically into the final term. Nothing could upset our peaceful equilibrium — we were Senior A ' s and we bore the name of Safari. In the Adelphic election Anthony Dominis was elected president and Frances Jones, secretary. The infants from 253 contributed Thomas Dyer, Margaret Aitken, and Harry Rupp as vice-presidents and treasurer to assist Tony Dominis in his Adelphic duties. In the term acti ities the time flew by leaving only pleasant memories. Hear- ing a rumpus in 253 we were soon enlightened on . delphic Day with the coming of the Cavaliers. Picnics, class parties, and the faculty reception all ])assed away leaving graduation alone in the spotlight. Ainong those who achieved fame fur our class and for themselves were a fine group of senior dramatic students. Probably those who have achieved their goals most successfully are those that have received the Gold Seal of the . scholarship .Society on their diploma at grad- uation. They were ' George Maulhardt. Morris Soss, Carl .Ablfelt. Margaret Woods, and Edith Schiller. b.U 4. jicf jurfatkrs.toncf Jid- Uorl cf cur rar-flum m i Utnaif iitiit aii ' Iul I ' anl k Kid iismiiiCTcvir palmanlfTO- riorii.d.irciti.kftitl ' usytt.

The truth of the matter is that New England is swarming, especially in summer, with the wealthiest and most aristocratic people of New York, who have gone antique and bought the loveliest old farm-houses for residences. One would expect all the old character would be gone with modern improvements, but such is not the case. Most of these remodeled houses were breath-takingly artistic, even to the setting of the grounds. The interiors were sometimes too consistently carried out in the colonial motive, even to spattered floors and worm-eaten fur- niture. Most of the houses were in the approved Revolutionary style, white, with faded green shutters (in some cases, I suspect, artificially faded) but some of the most beautiful were so venerable that their colors had melted into ravishing tones of old rose, brown and yellow. The charming mansion in which we were staying, at least a hundred years old, and containing about that many rooms, had large grounds of carefully untended lawn, and apple, maple and blue spruce trees. A little woods in the rear harbored choke-cherry bushes, blackberry and blueberry and raspberry bushes, two darkly handsome pine trees reminiscent of Alaxfield Tarrish, and a skunk. In the valley below us was a huge home of Michael Pupin, the inventor. To the desert-minded Califnrnian, the greenness of New England is paradise, :no less. Certainly no one except Pandora could be bathing in that stream, or sitting in that apple tree ! Yet from those sylvan New England streams and lakes dash forth sportive youths and maidens in abbreviated one-piece bathing suits, who usually hop into expensive chauffered cars and rush away to spend the rest of the afternoon at the clul). Mcjdern kids in play-suits climb those hallowed old apple trees, and throw the wormy apples into the passing automobiles. One of the most peculiar things about New England is its restless and never- ending acti ity, absolutely hidden to the casual observer. It is such a surprise, after driving peacefully thru elms and willows, over rustic bridges, by peaceful green lakes, to come out suddenly upon a busy little manufacturing town — perhaps Water- bury, where the watches come from, or Danbury, where the smartest of felt hats are made. Of course there are quaint stone walls, with smartly dressed young men and girls casually depositing their cigarette butts on them. Alas, however, the old covered bridges are going, and there are only two left. Perbajjs the last one is gone by this time. All in all. New England is the ideal contrast tor the weary Californian, being sleepy enough to be New England, and sophisticated enough to be interesting. I 50 THEARTISANW ' 30 To THE Members of the Graduating Class: Your designation of yourselves as Safari, wayfarers and vo3-ageurs, has in- terested me greatly. To travel widely is a fascinating thought but must often be postponed until some of the edge has been worn from the keen appetite. There is a sense, however, in which you have been traveling the course of life even up to this momentous time of your graduation from high school. And now many of you are doubtful as to what road to take. The problem is not as simple as it used to be when the world was static, the few roads well-trod, and the sign posts, though weatherbeaten and dilapidated, were still in place. Now the roads are many, and they branch and shift while we try to read the uncertain signs. You are trying to find your place in this shifting, dynamic world. Where have the five hundred men gone who were displaced by the steam shovel that you see cut- ting a new road ? Where did the men go who have been displaced because railroad locomotives are more powerful, box cars heavier, and freight trains longer? Where are the switchmen employed who have been displaced by automatic controls ? Where do the musicians find an abiding place when they are displaced by the resounding pictures? Where are all the office workers who have been released by dictaphones, bookkeeping machines, automatic telephones, and all other countless devices that eliminate human workers ? Some factories that formerly employed thousands of men are now manned by a few inspectors of the automatic machines. Even agriculture, the oldest of our industries, is being mechanized. There are 600,000 less men employed in agriculture this year than in 1922; 2,000,000 less men employed in our various industries than a few years ago. These are some of the things that make uncertain your next steps on leaving high school. Those who have made a close study of recent events say that a new age is on us, the power age; a billion horse power in coal, oil, waterfalls, steam, and elec- tricity to work through machines that men have made to displace themselves. And yet machines and power do not exist for themselves, but only to serve men. In some parts of the world, dictators are working out the problems as to the form that human society shall take and as to the part to be played by groups and indi- viduals. Uur greatest philosopher, John Dewey, has pointed out the way that most nearly fits our necessity and choice, the way of liberty and cooperation. Here ' s luck to you, Safari, that you may have liberty to lay your path in life where you would have it, but also that the sense of cooperation may be so strong in you that you shall be happy to serve wherever duty may call you.

They must tread pathwa3-s new and unexplored to come upon the broad modern highway which leads to final success. As they travel over the hopeless waste lands and come to the deep and treacherous abysses they shall be compelled to stop and build bridges for hel]i to the thousands who may come the same way after them. Many youths will be aided by the Safari experiences at Manual Arts. The ban- ners set along the way will recall happy memories or stern lessons, and their bright- ness will enthuse the traveller with the old spirit of high school days. As the words of the Alma Mater ring along the way, ' may we never bring but honor to thy name. Russell Hopkins, Student Body President, W ' 30 ORGANIZATIONS 61 S.e .C. CABINET u (H I Cfl, I VI £.

Starting the term with eighty FL memhers the organization has tried in all ways to live up to its motto, Scholarship for Service. A new project was initiated by the organization this semester, the Junior High School Reception. At this function students from different junior high schools were given a chance to learn about the work of the Scholarship Society and to meet its officers and faculty advisers. The assembly this term featuring Trevor Grinnn, former student bodj- presi- dent of Manual x rts, came as a climax to Scholarship Week. The coaching staff through hard work gave a great deal of help to many failing students. The semi-annual Scholarship Banquet was again a big social event of the sea- son. The officers for this term are: President, George Maulhardt; girls ' vice-pres- ident, Dorothy Landry ; boys ' vice-president. Jack Cortelyou ; secretary, Evelyn Cross; assistant secretary, Jcihnnie Tucker; treasurer. Horace Newman. Committee Chairmen : Project, Morris Soss ; social, Mary Fimk ; scholarship, Tom Noonan and Harry Boswell ; sjieakers ' bureau, .Shirlej ' Jennings; activities, Paul Michaels. The advisers are Miss McLaughlin, Mr. ] ' lani. Miss Jones, and Mr. Newton. O R G A N I Z AT I O N S 71 SENIOR FORUM W URING THE PAST TERM the destinies of the Senior Forum were most J — I capahly guided hy Roku Sugahara, president ; Bethene Ozenherger, girls ' ■ TJj vice-president ; Boh Clatworthy, hoys ' vice-president ; Kathleen McClellan, ■ secretary ; and Darry Gold, sergeant-at-arms. Mr. Moore acted as adviser. All of the discussions proved peppy and interesting. Almost every topic under the sun was tackled hy the cream of Manual ' s speakers. For the first time in many years, two joint meetings were held with the Junior Forum. The purpose of these two gatherings was to acquaint the Junior Forum with the activities of the Senior Forum. More than seventy-five members attended the joint meetings. The Senior Forum banquet was one of the outstanding social ex ' ents of the year. All of sixty people who attended this colorful affair declared it the best ever. A get acquainted party was held at the beginning of the term in honor of the newly-elected members. Refreshments and wise cracks featured at this meeting. The Senior Forum sponsored the semi-annual declamation contest, and a silver cup was awarded to the winner. Practically all Senior Forumites entered some such forensic contest as the World Friend.ship Contest, the Herald E.xtemporaneous contest, try-outs for commencement speakers. Declamation contest, or debating. 72 THE ARTISAN ' 3 MANUAL KNIGHTS ■r HOUCH THE MANUAL KNIoHTS are comimratively a new organiza- 1 tion they have (|uickly assumed unchallenged leadershi] among the Manual f Arts Lluhs. Memhershi]i in the knights is based on the leadership, activity, and character of the candidate. Besides possessing these qualities the candidate must be unanimously accepted by all the members of the Knights and ajiproved by the prin- cipal ' s office. Membership is limited to twenty-five active members. The Knights in the past have acted as an advisory board for the Associated Boy Students, besides carrying out the good work as big brothers between the boys and the faculty. This term the Knights have cUjsed a verv successful term under the able leadership of president Rill Christenson ; vice-jiresident, Bill Hughes: secretary. George Maulhardt : treasurer, Jimmie Lawrence : and sergeant-at-arms, Ned [ones. The Knights have also the distinction of lieing the onh ' clul) at Manual which has been fortunate enouph to secure Dr. Wilson as its facultv adx ' iser. r ( I 1 t O R G A N I Z AT I O N S 1Z ' • imnr.. ' ' f l ' i THE MERIT BOARD 0l m MK MERI ' l ' K(JARl) IS ( )XF. of the most important CDiiimitfcfs in nur i •■ t ' -ident body organization. It acts as an advisor}- council to all students fL who have lost twenty or more merits. The chief purpose of this committee is to liel]i students to accept just responsibilities. The members endeavor t(j show them a more correct attitude towards self-government and the school. The board accentuates dependability, honesty, and punctuality. The officers of the Merit Board are a chairman, who previrmsly must have held the position of vice-chairman; vice-chairman, who is elected by the Manual Arts Council ; secretary, the office of which is filled by the girls ' vice-president of the student body ; and sergeant-at-arms, who is appointed by the chairman. This term these offices were held by Aura Prather, Lee Haines, Frances Rupert, and James Rlliott, resjiectively. The advisers of the lioard are Miss Hanna, Mr. Fonda, and Mrs. Peasley. The other members are Edith Ivie, Virginia Perry, Russell Hopkins, Leonard Hodges, and Downing Fuller. y ' -tnj- ruyh lA .-Vf SH n - A- . ' - ' -- ' ' R T ' I S A N W 3 i. A GIRLS ' LEAGUE « Br HE W ' 30 TERM HAS SEEN many new ol)jectives accomplished in the i work of the Girls ' League under the capahle leadership of Bethene Ozen- F herger, president; Joan Hill, vice-president; Betty Sampson, secretary; and Mary Rae Johnson, treasurer. With the kindly assistance of Miss Hifle and Edith Schiller, faculty and student adviser respec:ive!y, the work was most successful. The philanthropic committees, especially, drew many enthusiastic workers, who received invaluable social welfare training. Our adopted school, Ann Street, was not only given a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas, hut was consistently helped every two weeks by Edith Schiller and committee, who ])ro ide(l eggs and oranges for undernourished children. Doris Howe managed the providing of many families with Thanksgiving dinners and clothing. Mary Eunk had charge of the Christmas boxes and entertainment for the children. The Friendship committee proved a success for Carmelita Lane and her com- mittee. A new plan for getting new and old girls better acquainted, aside from parties, was introduced. Manual Arts High School, as founder of the Girls ' League, received many letters from all over the country requesting details of the work. The League has existed eighteen years, and every year has been one of servici; to all and good fellowship.

The new south is a blending of the staunch, white-columned aristocracy and the smart, brick-fronted democracy. It is now alert and commercial, but it has lost little of its jiristine beauty in the transformation. The south is still romantic, colorful, a little pagan. These assertions are based on Captain Wilson ' s summer safari to North Caro- lina. With his family, he motored there by way of the old Spani.sh Trail highway, taking two months for the trip, and making side excursions to the Blue Ridge mountains and to the natural White Springs. One of the most striking facts Captain Wilson discovered was the progress made by the negroes since the Civil ' ar. All post-slavery destitution has been re- placed by organized labor, education, and prosperity. Not only have the memliers of the colored race gone into professions and com- mercial enterprises, but they have established a new agricultural policy for the new- south. Manv lease tobacco farms from their owners, and as renters, derive the di- rect profits from the land. Some even own the plantations. So it seems that in the south, at least, the former slaves have found a place where they are useful, neces- sary, and consequently hap]3y. Greenville, the goal of Caj tain Wilson ' s Safari, ranks high in the jiroduction of leaf tobacco in a state which ranks second in the United States. The tobacco l lantations are situated outside the town, l.nit the extensive fields surround it with a veritable sea of enormous pink tobacco blossoms. The fields themselves su])ply work for thousands of people, constitute one of United States ' leading industries, and give enjoyment to millions of other people. The fact that this enjoyment of indulgence in nicotine is not physically salutary or socially desirable detracts little from the romantic aspect of the toliacco plan- tations. Des])ite the encroachment of commercialism and mechanical progress, the south will never Ije bustled or obnoxiously ambitious. The old south still lingers in an intangible atmos])here of restfulness, of calm and quiet, and of poetry. Not even immense, square, concrete store bins and numerous rows of pressing machines covering the landscape can wholly obliterate the unsubdued charm of mountain springs gushing through the tobacco fields, or of starless, ])urple nights when the fields or tobacco lilies glow like coral in the dark. Neither is the tempestuous, pagan nature oi the negroes entirely trammeled to convention and white men ' s ways. There are still secret fears, ancient super- stitions, and ageless ceremonies which are still jiractised. There are periodical agitations in the psychological life of the negro, when his old knowledge con- fronts his new education, and he knows not which to follow. However, these occurrences will grow less fre(|uent as he realizes how important and vital he is to America. 86 THE ARTISAN W 3 THE SCORPION .0fl 4 v - m y . i€ )l ' 1 w %m(4 ' - ? M I - Hv Charlotte Brown OCTOR VALTER SCHNITZEL, once a iirominent and self-respecting M u citizen of Rotterdam, and now an insignificant and disgnsted resident Wi 1 of the Sahara desert in general and C)ml)anga in particnlar, sank to his knees in the sand. This was neither liecause Herr Schnitzel was in the hahit of kneeling instead of sitting, nor hecause he wished to adop:: a petition- ing position, hut sim])ly because he desired rejiose, and there were no chairs or anything to sit on. He groaned peacefully, and fell forward on his face. In this humped attitude, his brown-colored bulk silhouetting itself hut dimly against the sand, he resembled nolhing so much as a camel. (Jne of his native Araliian aides said as much and more, and unfortunately, he was able to understand him slightly. What he luiderstood angered him exceedingly. He was thought to look like a tent — to possess the gait of a camel — the intelligence of a sand flf a — the disposition of a gnua — the face of a (jtin — and some other similarities which were no more intelligible to him than the characteristics of the two unknown animals he was thought to resemble. But he had a very good imagination, and it did its worst. Herr Schnitzel wasted no time. As the sponsor and ]ihysician of the Dutch Saharan ex])edition, he assumed his best tyrannical manner. His ferocity was rather flabby, but nevertheless impressive to the other twelve men under him. Tliey stole about the work of erecting shelters for the day, meekly and mildly, as their master began his tirade against the man who had been insulting to his face, figure, and feel- ings. The Arabian was defiant. He was the guide — really the main organ of the id STORY AND VERSE 87 expedition, and he knew it. Herr Schnitzel did not. He imagined that all one needed to traverse the great desert was a compass. (All this was before the settling and modernization of the Sahara.) Guides, he considered customary accessories — nothing more. Therefore, he used no restraint in abusing Karakra. Through most of Schnitzel ' s blustering and sputtering, Karakra was silent and stolid. This further incensed the other man. The guide was a fool, an imbecile, a moron. If he had twice as much l)rains. he would still be a nitwit. He was a pig. y n awkward puppy. A ditiukopf. Then, most suddenly, Karakra fell on his face and began to grovel in the sand. His brown skin turned a pale purple blended with a streaked yellow. He began to eat sand and make queer sounds in his throat. Ugh ! — gloph ! — shglooph ! — choked Karakra. Frightened but firm, the Herr Doctor summoned two men to hold Karakra who bent down and examined him. The sick man kicked violently, choked U]) several more slobbering e.xpletives, and then grew quiet and went to sleep. Anxious and amazed, the Herr Doctor announced to the men, He ' s perfectly all right. ( )rgans functioning normally ; no foreign disturbances or evidences of disease. The natives gathered nothing except that Karakra was all right, and then went back to work. Herr Schnitzel was perplexed, but he tied the guide to the pole of his tent, and went to bed. Due to the heat, the exjjedition traveled by night and hibernated by day. The late morning air was like waves of superheated steam, but everyone slept. Towards evening, Herr Schnitzel was awakened by the pole of his tent falling across his abdomen, and the rest of the tent collapsing over his body. . he dug himself out, he heard several shrieks. It was Karakra, still attached to ;he tent pole he had pulled down, and cr in.g piteously. What now? barked Schnitzel. Through great gulping sobs, Karakra told him. It seemed that earU ' that morning, he had accidentally swallowed a sand scoqMon. This had made him sci light-headed that he had ventured to criticize his master ' s ajjpearance most un- justly. Then the scorpion had made him sick, and so weary that he had fallen asleep. Now he was going to die as a result of having swallowed the animal. He was very sad. If he had not been positive of Karakra ' s honesty and sincerity, Herr Schnitzel would have thought this story to be the Arab ' s wild alibi for insulting him. As he was positive of Karakra ' s veracity, he didn ' t know what to think. He again as- sured himself of the Arab ' s perfect physical condition by a second examination. But Karakra would not believe that lie was all right. No, he wept, mournfully. I die — I shall die. Plea.se, Master, let us go back to Ombanga. There are my relatives, and there I wish to die. Yes, and how about me getting to Rascora to take a boat to my family and my patients in Rotterdam? Is not that important also? Oh, why didn ' t I stay at 88 THE ARTISAN W 3 home! He sank into a meditation which had its principal features meerschaum pipes and fresh sauerkraut. But — I am dying! said Karakra, and again dissolved into tears. The scorpion I have swallowed cannot be removed. It — it — fastens itself to the wall of my stomach. It feeds on my body. It eats me up. Then I die. And there will be no other caravan this time of the year to pick you up. You cannot go through the desert without me, so you die, too — here, unless you let me take you back to Ombanga. Oh — Oh! And he wept anew. Yes? replied Doctor Schnitzel. Watch me — I ' ll take us to Rascoras. You, with your imaginary scorpion, can either go with me or go back to Ombanga alone. I ' ll go with you — so that you can lead us all Ijack to Ombanga after you fail to get to Rascora. All sorts of trouble followed. All that which Karakra foresaw occurred. Herr Schnitzel utterly failed to take the expedition anywhere except around in a circle. Then Karakra became so weak that he was incompetent as a guide. They were stranded in the middle of the Sahara, with little provisions and unbearable heat, the heat which they had hoped to avoid by making the journey just after the rain- fall season ; also a time when the desert caravans were infrequent and desert posts abandoned. What made Herr Schnitzel pull his inadequate beard and stamp his adequate feet was that he knew the guide was in perfect physical health — or was, before the idea of the scorpion had made him lose his hold on life. Then Herr Schnitzel got an idea. If pure psychology had made Karakra sick and weak, pure psychology could make him well and strong again. This he trans- lated to mean that if he could pretend to remove the hypothetical scorpion, the Arab would lose his obsession, think himself cured, and improve in health. According to this plan, the Herr Doctor went to the poor guide that day as he lay ill and listless on his litter, and said, Karakra, I have lied to you. You have swallowed a sand scorpion, and you are dying. No! no! my friend, do not be angry. I did it for you — I didn ' t want to alarm you until I could find some way of saving you. And I have. I ' ve found a way to cure you. You — you — can make me — well again? The Arabs voice was suffused with emotion, the first he had exhibited since the commencement of his illness. I ' m sure of it. And to make you sure, I ' ll explain my plan. Now, as you well know, the scorpion cannot be made to release its hold on the wall of your stomach while it is alive. Therefore, I have prepared a poison for the scorpion, a poison which is bad tasting but will not harm you in the least. You understand? Yes, but the scorpion — how will you remove it? Listen ! The poison will kill the scorpion. It will fall into your stomach. From there the only way to remove it is to operate. The operation is painful but none- theless harmless. I shall use ether to make it easier. I ' m sure it will be successful. Do you consent ? Karakra considered these impossibilities, gravely. Then convinced that Herr Schnitzel meant to do well by him, he consented to the cure, and asked, feebly, When will you do it? STORY AND VERSE 89 I ' ll give you the poison now — I ' ve brought it with me, said the doctor, brisk- ly, Here ! He drew forth a vial containing a blue-green liquid. It was really clear water tinged and flavored with the bitter syrup obtained from crushed leaves of the Syslick tree. With his latent genius aroused by necessity, Ilerr Shnitzel had prepared everything: the poison, instruments, and a scorpion which he had found and killed. Karakra faltered, but encouraged by the assurance of the Herr Doctor, he gulped the fluid down, bravely. Ah, now, soothed the doctor. Soon you will feel better inside. Tomorrow I shall operate. Happier than he had ever been since he had l een stricken, Karakra grinned most cheerfully. Already, I feel fine, he said, sitting up. I know the evil scorpion is dead and has lost its hold on me. I ' m sure of that! Farewell, then, until tomorrow. Tomorrow was today, and Herr Schnitzel prepared for the operation, Karakra was brought into his tent, and made unconscious with the ether. Then, dismissing all the men, the doctor set about the ojieration. He must deceive the guide again. So he sterilized a fine, steel knife, cut a slight gash in poor Karakra ' s abdomen to make it bleed, and then with a very few stitches, sewed up the minute incision. Regrettable thing to do, he reflected, but necessary under such circumstances. He had read of actual cases where the victims of comple.xes such as Karakra ' s had died of their obsessions. Anyway, his plan would harm no one, and would heli) them all. Karakra regained consciousness, saw the dead sand scorpion which the doctor had procured, thought he had been rescued from the arms of death, and rapidly im- proved in health. Therefore, the story must end at this point. The expedition was led to Rascora by the original guide. Herr Schnitzel took the boat for Holland which safely de- posited him at his beloved Rotterdam. Here, he again enjoyed his medical practice among his exclusive clientele, and even more enjoyed telling his patient patients the story of Karakra ' s remarkable case, and how he had solved it. Of course, no one believed him, but he had a lot of fun telling the story. THE END 90 T H ]■: A R T I S A X W ' 3 BUYING NEARLY JUNKED AUTOMOBILES Bv Tack Cortelyou A CERTAIN WISE MAK once said. ' Spring is here and the sap is run- ning. This adage should have heen, S])ring is here and the saps are running rampant. It seems that everyone, sometime, in the course of his hfe feels the urge to play the i)art of the sap. So far in history, Ed- ward Everett Horton is the only one who has played the part of the sap and come out ahead. I felt the urge last sirring, and did 1 !)ite? I hit on the idea that I could buy an old car for a nominal sum and derive a certain amount of pleasure. (Tests show that four out of every five that succumb, do so in the spring.) My main trouble seemed to be lack of funds. My bank ac- count seems to be in the red every spring. However this didn ' t hold me back be- cause several dealers offered me great Iiargains, and allowed me to use my wrist watch and gold teeth as part payment. The dealer offered me a great variety. All three of the cars were just dandy. There was a 1908 Ford, absolutely guaranteed to be fully as good as any new car. Also the Chevrolet that only needed an engine and gas to make it go. And the nifty Maxwell that had that wonderful paint job. I finally chose the Maxwell and the dealer brought the car out to the house. I always admired that man. He was the last, and prol ably the only man that e er made the car move with any enthusiasm. By the end of the second week the garage man had taken more money away from me than the dealer. The trouble was I tried to install a new spark plug myself and in removing the old one the engine fell to pieces. I probably broke the wire that held the engine together. Mechanical as I am, or think I am, I couldn ' t put it back together again. That garage man was another genius. He fixed it with a pair of pliers so to S])eak, but his bill looked like Switzerland ' s share of the World War debts. Some optimist once said that a small car could be economicall)- maintained. My automoble bill for parts and operating expences didn ' t even comjjare favorably with similar expenses of our City Police Department. 1 later learned that this opti- mist is at present deli ering a series of lectiu ' es on. ' Why not accept wodden nickels, ' at Patten. I eventually learned my lesson and tried to sell that automobile of mine. This marks the spot where my troubles started. Selling that car was harder than selling loothpicks to starving Americans with soul resistance plus. However I sold it, and I ' ll tell you how so maybe you can help a friend get rid of a car. I asked systemati- cally e eryone I met if he wanted to buy Wilson Field. 1 finally found a fellow who did. Having found out that he would fall for most any line, I sold him my car. I left for China the next day and stayed there for a while. There are a few don ' ts I should like to put over. Don ' t buy a used car. Better llie malted milk man should have vour money, than the wolves in sheeji ' s clothing that peddle automobiles on the street corners to unsus])ec;ing high school kiddies. STORY AND VERSE 91 THE GLORY OF WAR By Frances Lomas  V A ! HA ! HA !-HO ! HO ! Yes - start back ! You think I ' m insane, do you ? Il Well, maybe you ' re right! But who wouldn ' t be? After four years of Tf 1 suffering in the war, I earned a coat full of medals. Medals, not food! ' Bah ! What good are decorations when one is destitute ? No food, no home, not even shelter. This is a result of the War, the great War, the glorious War ! War ! War ! And then this ! Crazy I wish I were ! Perhaps then I v(3uld not mind the agonizing tf)rturing thoughts that rush into my mind and overpower my senses! Listen ! When War was first declared I enlisted. I sought e.xcitement, and my country was calling. I gave up a good position to get a thrill. I was told when I came back I would find my job waiting for me. The government, too, promised me a good jola if ever I returned. So I went to War. I came through four years with a breast cov- ered with metal rewards. I had no: even been scratched during that whole contro- ersy. Then the Armistice was signed and I was sent home. My duty over. It had been well done. Thankful to be home I went to renew my relations with my former employer. But I was too late ! My job was gone. What of the well-sounding promise that my place would he waiting like a faithful sweetheart? Sentiment, just sentiment! Everyone of the staff was glad to see me again, but there were no vacant positions at that time. Perhai)s if I came back some other da_ — some other day! For weeks I tramped the streets searching for a job. 1 thumbed every newspa])er 1 could get until the print could no longer be distinguished. The slackers who had stayed at home had filled the ])laces of those who had gone to War. There was nothing left for us. The halos surrounding the War heroes soon faded away. My War tales no longer paid for my meals. Since 1 had no more money, my landlady decided she needed the room I occu])ied. I left the only shelter I had. Penniless, searching the streets. I found no wurk. At night I slept on the park bench. The only comfortable day I had was when I was taken u]) for vagrancy. In jail I was given a full meal. Then I was sent off again. One (lav I found a new,spa])er. 1 had not the money to buy one for some time and my find was a godsend. I searched the want ads. Finally my eye lit ui)on one which looked possible. A man was wanted to manipulate a large factory machine. It appeared to be easy work and a large salary was offered. I looked at the date of the jiaper. It was two weeks old. I felt a shiver of disappointment. For the first time in many years tears came to my eyes. I forced them back. Perhaps there was some catch to an easy job with high pay. Maybe no one had yet been found to fill the position. There was a chance. It was a very slight one, yes, but still it was a chance. I Ijrushed mv worn and soiled clothes as best 1 could, smoothed my hair with 92 THE ARTISAN W ' 3 my fingers and set out. I was not far from the address given in the newspaper. In a Httle while I arrived. I entered the massive building, found the manager ' s door, and rapped. I entered, upon a Come In. Seated before a dignified looking oak desk sat a portly man of middle age. His hair had begun to gray at the temples, but the eyes belied the age that was given by his hair. Those eyes ! They were black with a piercing exjjression. I shivered. I don ' t know whether it was with fear or disgust. The mouth was stern with grim straight lips. When I entered the man looked up from his papers and smiled a smile full of evil. I .stated my errand and asked whether the position was still vacant. It was and I got the job. The manager had gi ' en me some money and told me to rej ort for work in the morning. I found a room for myself, liought a meal, and had my clothes cleaned. The next morning I presented myself for work. I had not seen the machines at which I was to spend my time. When I entered the room in which it was situated, I found the manager there before me. He led me to the machine and showed me the levers and how to work them. They certainly appeared simple. There is still time, said the manager, to give up the job if you wish. Give up? I could not understand. You have not heard? asked the manager. When I replied in the negative, he said. You no doubt think it strange that this high sal- aried job has been vacant so long. It hasn ' t been. A man worked at this machine until yesterday. Then the same fate undertook him that had overtaken his predeces- sors. His hands were cut off. You start. Yes, it takes a brave man to run this machine. No, you do not see how these mishaps could have occurred. Yet they did. Now you wish to try the work for a few weeks? Yes? You must he a brave man. Or else, maybe, you are so destitute that you have no alternative ? Oh, so that is it, Well, go to it. He left me alone with the monstrous piece of machinery. As he said, I has no alternative. It was worth trying. If I were careful, I would probably escape safely. That day I spent at the machine. Several times the manager entered the room and asked how I felt. His exi ression was sinister, though his words were kind. But I felt very well. I was fed, clothed, and I knew that I had shelter to go to. This evil machine should not get the better of me ! Ha ha ha ! Did you hear? I was fully resolved that I should escape fate ! For several days I worked steadily. I even began to enjoy my work, if that were possible. The machine was almost human in its methods. It was tall and im- posing. Two long arms rose and fell with each movement of my foot upon a lever. Those arms rose up and up. seeming to embrace the whole of that enormous room. Then they drojiped slowly like the ax of the guillotine. Every day, indeed several times during the day, the manager came to ask me my state of health. He never failed to make a few renrarks concerning my predecessors and their unfortunate losses. The thought of these poor creatures who had gone before me began to prey U])iin my mind. Within a week, every time 1 sat down befort- the machine, I vis- S T O R Y A N D V ERSE 93 ioiied one of lliose other men sitting down lief ore the same infernal machine. When I arose after my day ' s laljor with thanks for my safe delivery, I saw another man arise from his seat heside me, his hands gone and the hlood not yet dry upon the lacerated wrists. I felt a thrill of apprehension whenever the door opened and the manager entered to say — Well, how are you feeling today? I .see the machine hasn ' t gotten you yet. One night I dreamed that I was working. The manager entered the room with a sinister meaning in his eyes. In his hand he carried a knife. I glanced at my hands in terror. The man laughed. The dream faded away. I dreamed that same dream for three nights. Each time I awoke to find myself safe hut a nameless fear filled my heart. By day I grew restless from lack of sleep. I was afraid to see the manager ' s face. Indeed, my terror was so great that I decided to hunt for another position. It would not be wise, I thought, to leave this job before I found another. The thought of further starvation and lack of shelter tortured me. Yet the truth was not that. It was this. I could not, dared not, give up my work at the machine. Vhy? I do not know. For several nights after my aforementioned dreams I was restless and uncom- fortable. I could not sleep. Then I again had nightmares. This time I saw the ma- chine, that great ugly, yet beautiful Monster. It had assumed two enormous, evil, green eyes. The eyes grew larger and larger. A diabolical grin spread across the front of it. Always the eyes became larger. The hands stretched out to .seize me. I screamed. I felt numb and cold. I arose from my bed and walked down three flights of stairs to the cellar. My hands were numb. They felt nothing. I approached the lighted furnace and tried to open the door. I could not move my hands. I placed my shoulder against the catch. The door flew open. I stretched my hands to the fire. They did not grow warmer. I thrust them further in. I felt no reaction. I stood there the rest of that long, dreary night. In the morning the janitor came to replenish the furnace fire. I was still there. My hands were gone, burned to the wrist, yet I stood there, unable to move or think. The machine had fulfilled its dutv. 94 THE ARTISAN W ' 3 OFF TO THE ORIENT STORY AND VERSE 95 m HALF WAY AROUND THE WORLD Bv Dick Bouck E WI RE MATING DINNER when thu telephone rang. My hrother Jack answered the ]Aone and when he came hack to the table he was nearly wild with excitement. My mother finally managed to calm him and ask him what the outburst meant. We were very much surprised when he said. I ' m going to the Orient about the first of the year. We couldn ' t believe our ears until he explained to us that he was to take his orchestra to San Francisco and sail on the S.S. President Jackson, January the second. From then on we were all in a state of excitement because there was so much to be done to get him ready. The time for his departure finally arrived, so we packed and crammed all of his belongings and instruments and what not into the car. It was about midnight when my mother, my brother and I left for San Francisco. The President Jackson remained in San Francisco three days before finally heading for the first port of call in the ( )rient. The trip to Hawaii lasted five days. The sea was calm until the third night when a storm broke. .All the boys got sick as did many ])assengers. During the storm the instruments were kncicked over, dishes slid off the tables and everybody had a hard time of it. They arri e(l at the island of ( )abu earl - in the morning and coull see the lights of the villages and fires on the sugar plantations. .V ])ilot came on lioard and took the boat into port because the harbor is mined. The ship was met at the dock by the Royal Hawaiian Band. As it was very warm the boys put on their white outfits 96 THE A R T ' I S A N W 3 and left ininiediately for tDWii to see tlie Chinese section and ' aikiki Beach where they manat ed to ride the snrf hoards. ]mt ii,a)t their feet cnt on the coral. While the hoys were in Oahu they stayed at the Moana Hotel which is located near the shore of Waikiki beach. They took a trip around the island on the Oahu railway and took very many interesting snapshots. .At this time the Army i lanes were goins their drills above the Waikiki beach which was very interesting. The boys came back thru town and b(jnght many trinkets and leis. The boat left the islands at 6 :00 o ' clock in the evening and the mail ])lane flew over the boat and dropped some late mail to the ship. Their next port of call was Yokohama, Japan. The run from Hawaii to Yoko- hama took ten days. During this trip the sea was ery stormy. One of the fellows left the wind funnel in the ])ort hole and a big breaker hit the side of the beat and filled his bunk with water. The wa -es broke clear up on the observation bridge and caused much excitement. Whenever the lioys weren ' t doing anything they would get their room steward to show them how to write in Chinese. On this run the ship crossed the one hundred eighteenth meridian and of course there was a big cere- mony. When a lioat crosses this meridian travelling to the west, twenty-four hours are lost. According to this the boys went to bed Tuesday night and got up Tuesday morning. As they neared Yokohama it was very cold for the snow was just melting. When the boat entered port, three Japanese destroyers came out, circled the boat twice and then went back. Before anyone went ashore custom officials and medical men came aboard to see that everyone had been vaccinated. They arrived at five o ' clock l)ut they did not get ashore until seven o ' ckock that e ening. But bef(jre going ashore the boys were paid and had their money changed to yen and sen. The boys all took rickishaws into the town and went to Theatre Street, one of the busiest streets in Yokohama. Here could be heard the sound of wooden shoes and the sing-song of the many Japanese people. In Yokohama the automobiles are driven on the opposite side of the street from what they are in the United States. The boys went to a hotel where they had to rem;)ve their shoes and put on sandals and kimonos. W ' hen they ate their meals they were given choj) sticks and had cjuite a time trying to use them. While in Yokohama the boys bought such things as Japanese cigarettes, silk, leather goods, ivory, etc. In Yokohama rickishaw fare is higher than taxi fare so the boys rode in taxis most of the time. Jack noticed, too. that all the small boys attend- ed military schools. There are also a great many modern buildings and radio sta- tions. The boys stayed in ' okohama two days and left the third morning at seven o ' clock for Kobe, Japan. This trip lasted only two days, the weather was very cold but calm. The boat arrived a little late at Kolie so the boys immediately took rickishaws and went to town. Here Jack got some miniature wooden shoes, two silk kimonos, tea and other things. Here in Kobe Jack met a Ja]) who spoke some luiglish. When they met the Jap bowed to Jack and of course Jack bowed in return, then the Jap Ijowed again. My brother said that if he had bowed again the Ja]) would have bowed and kept it up all night. The high class men wear a kind of long dress with a fur collar. Of course these are the men that have not adopted the modern style of dress. STORY AND VERSE 97 While in Kobe they went into a Japanese restaurant and alonsj with his meal Jack wanted some toast. He had a terrible time trying to make the waiter under- stand him. Finally he made a sign that he understood and went into the kitchen. When he returned he gave Jack a big surprise by serving him a hard boiled egg. In Kobe most of the men and boys ride bicycles. I was tokl that there are more bicycles in Kobe than there are automobiles in Los Angeles. When the boat was getting ready to leave Kolje a great many Japanese mer- chants and peddlers came aboard with trinkets and cheap jewelry and flashy mer- chandise. The I)oat left at eleven o ' clock in the morning and started for Shanghai, China. To do this it had to go thru the inland sea, which is a maze of islands and channels. It cost the Dollar Steamship Company four hundred dollars to have a Japanese pilot come aboard and pilot the boat thru the inland sea. Some of the chan- nels are so narrow than one could reach out and almost touch the trees and brush on the islands. It took two days to make the run from Kobe, Japan, to Shanghai, China, where they stayed two days. AMien they got into the Yellow Sea the water was ' ery muddy and a heavy fog had set in. They proceeded thru the Yellow Sea to the Whang Poo River where they again waited for the pilot to take them up to the Yang Tze River from the Whang Poo River. In those two rivers were many Chinese junks. After the boat had anchored in the river the sam]ians came alongside and scooped up garbage from the boat in big nets. The Chinese section of the city was very filthy. There are also a great many beggars and cutthroats to be found there. The English have brought men called Siks from India to act as policemen. Tlic Chinese are very much afraid of these men and usually make off when one appears. Here the boys were continually being followed Ijy Chinese who wanted to sell them something or take them for a ride in a rickishaw. The fellows had learned a few words in Chinese so when they were pestered they would say in a harsh voice moskee which meant get away or in American slang, beat it. The fellow hired a little newsboy and bootblack to show them around the town. His price for a shoe shine in Chinese money was five cash, or about two and one-half cents in American money. All the fellows had him shine their shoes and then they gave him a dollar bill to pay for the shoe shines and for his services as a guide. It made him very happy because he would seldom make that much money in a whole week. Along Nanking road they found a place where they could get real chile and beans which was a great surprise to them. While they were in Shanghai they met a United States Marine who took them into the native quarters of the city. They had to cross the Garden Bridge and here they were searched for guns by British soldiers who guarded the bridge. After they had passed thru the native quarters they hailed a sampan iiilot who took them across the river to the President Jackson. The next day they rode around Shanghai in rickishaws and then went to some of the hotels and played the latest American tunes for the people. 98 THE ARTISAN W ' 3 The next stop was Hong Kong. China. It took three clays to get from Shanghai to Hong Kong. They arrived at night and the city was ht up liv big Chinese lanterns. They were accommodated at the King Edward Hotel. After making the rounds of the city they took rickishaws into the native quarters. Whenever they wanted to go faster they just stamped their feet and said Chop— Chop, the coolie immediately quickened his pace. In the native quarters when the Chinese would buy anything, they would tie a piece of string around it and literally drag it home. In this part of the city a great many women could be seen doing manual labor such as carrying water, there being no water pipes in this section. Here little children pla} ' ed in the narrow streets with such things as firecrackers and toy dragons. The boys all traveled together for protection against thieves and cut-throats because they had been warned about this section of the city. However they were not molested in the least. The fellows noticed that although the Chinese were courteous, they were not as courteous to strangers as were the Ja]3anese. After a stay of three days in Hong Kong the ship left for Manila about six o ' clock one evening. The run to Manila was made in two days. They found it to be very warm there, so they put on just a pair of white flannels and a white shirt. The na- tives wore only a ])air of knee pants and a verv thin shirt and no shoes oi ' ' stockings. The stay in Manila was five days during which time the travelers met a Fili])ino lx)y who acted as their guide. He took them u]i the Pasig River and into the Valley of Bats; also to the rice fields where water buffalo do all the work and have to have a bath twice a day or they will die from the heat. They went far outside the city into the jungle area where they saw many monkeys, cocoanuts and bananas. Of course the)- couldn ' t go swimming in the ocean on account of the sharks, so they went to the Navy Club where there was a pool. While they were there they also saw the remains of the Spanish Fleet that was wrecked during the Spanish American War. They visited the oldest Christian Church on the island which was built in 1763. Here too, is found the oldest pipe organ which is made entirely of bamboo. The boys also visited some of the schools, a few of which were held out of doors. While they were there they saw a funeral procession. The casket was being taken through the town on an old cart and the people were dressed in their best clothes singing and laughing and having what seemed to be, to the fellows, a good time. In Manila they have something like our R. O. T. C. only they wear white uni- forms and drill with wooden guns. The boys also visited the old walls of the city some of which are in a state of ruin and decay. ( )ne of the great sports in Manila is rooster fighting. These contests are just as important as our boxing matches are here and much money is won and lost at these fights. There are three other great features in Manila. One is Billidad prison, STORY AND ' ERSE 99 which is said to be the largest in the world. Every day during the time when visitors are allowed inside, the prisoners go through a silent physical drill. This is done en- tirely without any commands whatsoever and is very interesting to watch. Other interesting features are the docks and wharves, supposed to be the great- est docks ever built. They are equipped entirely with electrical machinery. The third feature is the fortified island that guards the entrance to Manila Bay. This is Uncle Sam ' s greatest fortified island being equipped with disappear- ing guns, airplane hangars, etc. When the rice is gathered in, it is put in great stacks and every night hundreds of bats from the Valley of the Bats make a raid on these stacks which causes a great deal of damage. After a five day stay the lioat started back to Hong Kong, China. But after leaving every port there was held a stowaway search which was for the purpose of catching anyone who might be hiding on the boat. The musicians each had a hatch to watch so that nobody could come u]i while the search was going on below the decks. Thev discovered a stowaway just after they left Manila, so he was thrown in the brig or jail of the Ijoat. The boat returned to Hong Kong and stayed two days .so the boys had a chance to see anvthing they had missed before. They then went to Shanghai where they stayed three more days. The boat then continued onto Kobe, Ja]ian, where the boat l roke loose from its moorings and drifted across the channel and smashed in- to the side of a large Japanese boat, the Siberia Maru. It took seven tugs to get the boat back to the dock again. From Kobe they went to Yokohama where they stayed nt the Kiyo Hotel. When they left Yokohama the boys felt a bit downhearted because they knew that thev would ])robably never lie able to visit the Orient again, h rom Yoko- hama they spent a monotonous journey of fourteen days to Seattle where the trip was to end. The boys played from one to two o ' clock in the afternoon, then again from six to seven in the evening and again at night for the dance or picture show. , When they had nothing to do the fellows went up to the radio shack to listen to some of the stories the operator would tell them. On the way to Seattle they had eight inches of snow on deck, which relieved a bit of the monotony. When they crossed the one-hundred eightieth meridian, twenty-four hours were gained. The fellows went to bed Saturday night and got up the next morning which was Mon- day morning. As they drew near the .American continent they could see the Alaskan coast and Canada. The boat went thru the Puget Sound and stopped at Victoria, then on down to Vancouver and then to Seattle and the good old United States. When they landed in Seattle the fellows were all broke so they wired home for money of course. After staying in Seattle six days they got passes on the Emma Alexander and came down to San Francisco. They stayed there two days and then sailed on down to Los Angeles, arriving here April 6, 1929. Of course when the boat arrived we were there to meet Jack and he was cer- tainly glad to see us after his absence of three months.

The rain JmM DUtside fell in sheets, and he viewed with miss ivings the soft mnd through PWm ' ' i ' ' ! ' ' if would l)e necessary to ]5lod. He decided to saddle Banner, famous throughout the state for his slushing ahility. He gathered up his trifling winnings from the poker game and donned slicker and Stetson, the latter worn into an unrecognizable shape. Bidding the raucous group a roaring so long and tipping over the sleeping Manson ' s chair, he slammed the door behind him. Pity the poor Marines on an evening like this, he sang to an improvised tune as he assured himself of the saddle-girth ' s fastenings. Although outwardly crude, Ierr ' had two vears of college to his credit, having been forced to halt his educational march only because of his parents ' sudden death in a train wreck. Disa]ipointed and grieved by this unfortunate turn of affairs, Jerry vowed secretly that he would return to the U when he had saved sufficiently to finance him through the remaining years. Sometimes he grew discouraged and almost moody, but always the gay life of the rancher carried him liack to normal. Here there was no time to grouch. Work was always waiting to be done, and McGregor was a hard taskmaster. Noth- ing escaped his flashing eyes, and the lagger found himself in extremely difficult straits. Always nif)onin ' , snorted Manson, and then the boys would plan a party f(jr him that did not soothe Jerry in the least, lie found no enjoyment hi the wild carousings of his partners. When the racket reached its height Mac would come and open the door of the bunk house and say in a growling voice, what ' s all this noise about? Even though his tones were inaudil)le twenty feet away, all noise miraculously ceased and five grown men, looking like naughty boys caught hooking cookies from the pantry, gave Mac the wide-eye and chorused, just bavin ' a little fun, Mac. Well, have it when I ' m away. the boss would grouch, anrl yanked the door shut with sufficient force to scatter the kindling so neatly piled in the corner. Before he had been exposed to the elements five minutes, Jerr) ' was streaming wet. The drojis plopped on his slicker and almost seemed to bounce into his face. Aggravatedly he wijjed away a little trickle that seemed in ' ent on forming into a furrow down the bridge of his nose. Banner mooched through the slime with evident delight. He was not a race-horse in any sense, but last year the boys had all chipped in and entered him in the local track exent. On the day of the race, the track was flooded and while the other entrance horses floundered and flailed. Banner jilowed easilv and was timed for only a fraction of a second behind the state record. The bovs swore they would never enter him again, for on a dry track he would surely lose his surprising yirestige. I STORY AND V1 .RS7£ 101 tfain Jerry was willing to admit that the South was not so sunny this day. On ordinary days the herd grazed over the rough, stuhbled field. Now they were luKldled together ])eside a steep Ijank which jirotected them in some measure from the cloudljurst sweeping down from the dark gray skies. Looking at them, Jerry seemed to feel a bit of companionship for their plight. Never mind, old fellows, he consoled, we ' re all in the same fix. Just now my rainy day is having its fling, too. But the sun will come out again. It always does. And when it does, our s])irits and our accomplishments will shine with it. It ' s darkest just before dawn, and right now I can ' t see further than the tip of my nose. Let ' s go Banner, I ' m gettin ' all wet.

His eyes followed her every move adoringly, and his actions bespoke a tense longing, a suppressed emotion. Meanwhile she continued to turn her beau- tiful eyes towards one thing or another, the jazz curtains at her feet, her dainty pumps, the orange drapes across the room, and finally toward Mr. Marsh. As her eyes met his, he felt a quick throb of the heart and an uncontrollable inner excite- ment, which partially subsided as she spoke. Don ' t you like these darling little shoes, Ellsworth? I just got them yes- terday. A pause, and still the tense atmosphere was unbroken. She made an- other attem]5t. Come on, let ' s dance. I want to break these shoes in for the party Saturday. Did you know that I was going with that young college friend of mine? Here her eyes again sought his, and she suddenly felt instinctively that he hadn ' t really heard any of her frivolous chatter. No, his eyes, looking deeply into hers, did not recognize such things. This instant of realization was fleeting. She did not want to be serious. Why should anyone want to be serious? With a laugh, she continued her one-sided conversation, and brought forth her weapon of wit, which was usually a good one. However, it provoked only an occasional smile from him. Ellsworth was confused aiid thinking. He was wondering why he loved this charming coquette so devotedly. His mind became a delirium of delight whenever her eyes smiled at him. All ideas, all wonderings fled, leaving only a maze of happiness. And then pain. The pain of uncertainty. He yearned to know her feelings toward him. She knew his feelings — how could she help reading the adoring message of his eyes? Still in some way, she contrived to keep him con- stantly in sus]iense regarding her heart. Was that lovely gaze turned on many ad- mirers? He found himself dreaming of her eyes, those beautiful eyes which so fascinated him. They were by far the most gorgeous eyes he had ever seen.. They were a deep brown, and enriched by most wonderful curly eyelashes, which gave them a certain depth. It seemed to him that those eyes controlled his motives and destiny entirely. When they were loving, he exhilarated. When they were coquettish he was charmed. And when they were rarely mysterious and thoughtful, he forgot her apparently shallow character in their contemplation. The image of those eyes was constantly before him. At last, he could stand the an.xiety no longer, . s he was taking his leave, he poured forth a passionate plea to Corinne to open her heart to him. If she did not love, he would say goodbye, but if she did love him, why would she so persistently hide it? During this plea her eyes had become deeper in color, until they were almost black. A strange lurking mystery crept into their corners. As she slowly closed the ♦ STORY AND VERSE 103 door, the coquette pointed to her eyes, and in a serious, haunting tone said, They will tell you — when I anr gone. The door closed silently, leaving Mr. Marsh con- fusedly pondering on his way home. This man had been a scholar all of his life, fond of burrowing into old manu- scripts and historical documents. He was considered a very learned authority on ancient history. Yet a few simple words of this maid baffled him. When she was gone? Gone where? What message was concealed in the sable depths of those alluring eyes? This evening with Corinne was to be the last. Not only was Ellsworth never able to locate her thereafter, but no one had seen her after that memorable night. All searching was in vain. The vitality of her lover sank to a low el)b, and was extinguished by a strange coincidence. As he was reclining in his arm chair one evening, trying to bury his emotions in reading, he chanced to look up toward the thick, heavy curtains adjoining the room. There he beheld — the eyes! Spellbound, he clutched his chair and gazed wildly. Yes, there were her eyes, a wi.stful melting brown shade, with an expression of deep love and yearning. In a frenzy, Ellsworth rushed across the room and tore hack those curtains. Silence! There was no one there. He searched in all his cham- Ijers frantically, becoming more excited every moment. Then he closed the curtains slowly, making a desperate effort to control himself. Instinct told him that he was being watched from behind. Reason told him that this was absurd. Wheeling around on his heel, he beheld in a small mirror opposite — the eyes I Oh, the horror and yet the fierce delight of beholding once again those beautiful objects of his affection! The rapture of seeing them illuminated with love light, and yet the hideous terror of not possessing their owner! He could not close his eyes. He could not remove his gaze from the mirror. Slowly his facial expression became distorted. His eyes assumed a glassy, distant look. He staggered, and fell to his knees, still looking at the mirror. His heart beat faintly and then wildly at intervals. Presently all objects faded from his view except those haunting eyes. He fell prone upon the floor, having no sensation of falling, no feeling except that imparted by the eyes. His heart beat slower, — and slower, — and stopped. dl- .? 1 8 ( 1 I FROM EGYPT TO IRAQ.

Egypt, to Hillah. Irac(. The latter city is only three miles from the ruins of ancient Babylon. — Margaret E. ' oods After farewells to friends. I went aboard the steamer at evening time, for it was scheduled to sail early in the morning. When we left the harbor, the sea was calm and a beautiful blue. Sailing in oriental waters has many charms. I felt as if I were in a sea of water colors ready for the painter ' s brush. Early in the forenoon of the following day, we had glimpses of the Syrian coast and later, of Keyruth. the door of Arabia. Ee}Tuth. in sjjite of its Greek harbor and its great American University, is French in feeling and language. It is luiilt upon a knoll near the sea with the Lebanon Mountains in the background. The American L ' niver.sity buildings are among the most prominent buildings, and the campus can be clearly viewed when approaching the harbor. As the harbor has no docks, we were taken ashore in small launches directly to the custom house. After the formalities there were over, we went to the little village of Sheveifat, set among olive trees, a half hour ride away. There I visited and rested with friends from Pasadena, before T started on the very fatiguing desert journey. Two da ' S later we went into Beyruth to arrange for passage and to make purchases of food for the journey. Beyruth has quite an American colony and the shop dealers are catering to their wants, so I had no trouble in getting a fine assortment of food. After all arrangements were made, I went to the Y.W.C.A. ' s 106 THE A-RTI SAN W ' 30 comfortable quarters in the heart of the city for a short rest. How we appreciate these places of hospitality in strange lands ! In the afternoon I was packed into a Nash touring car, and, bidding farewell to my friends, I was on my way. Descending the higher heights of the Lebanon Mountains, the scenery was wonderfully interesting. Later, the sunset flooding the barren land seemed to fuse the Lebanons into mounds of barbaric jewels, yellow, pale green, and violet against the horizon far behind us. We were soon in Baalbeck, where other motor and camel caravans turn north to Aleppo. We were plunged into cool greenness with the sweet odor of sur- rounding fruit orchards and date palms flattened against the sky. Ruins of pagan shrine. Christian church, and Mosiem fortress were seen about us. The Greek, the Roman, and the Turk, have come and gone, and now the little village of shop keepers, of water drawers and of shepherds, nestles among the green grass. What history is wrapped up in these ruins! It is said th at an old inhabitant in building his house excavated a perfect section of a Roman theater. We arrived in Damascus late in the evening, and great was my disappointment, for this colorful and fascinating city should lie seen in daylight. I had memories however, of a former sojourn here, when, immediately after war days, I attended a dinner given by the Emir Feisal, now King of Iraq. Damascus, historic city of Syria, is the seat of the government, and the religious center is pure Arab. It is a large city, and set in the heart of a fertile plain. Everywhere were fruit shojis laden with delicious and tempting fruits and melons of many varieties. After the night at the hotel, our caravan of six cars started early the next morning for the hardest part of the journey — the desert journey. Leaving the outskirts of the city, we came u])on several Bedouin camps, which had great herds of camels and flocks of sheep, feeding on sprouts of shrubs and on grasses growing in low places. Soon all signs of life were gone, and we seemed alone in the wilds of the Syrian desert. Now and then, we saw what appeared as an abundance of water, but viewed again, we saw that we were deceived. .All day we drove through dreary wastes of sun scorched jilains. Many think the desert to be rolling sand dunes, but it is not so. The limitless stretches of loam and small rocks would be productive, no doubt, if water were to be had. The last French outpost in Syria was reached at sundown, but our caravan kept on its way until two o ' clock at night, when we reached Rutbah, a desert station. All the way, we were accompanied by French convoys until we reached the British territory of Iraq, and from there, British convoys accompanied us to Bagdad. With out such protection, the journey would be impossible, as life means nothing to the desert tribes. The night brought many experiences. First of all. a large hyena crossed the road and our chauffeur became e.xcited and tried to pursue it. All sleep left us, for we not only feared the animal, but feared the possible overturning of the car. After a merry chase, he succeeded in striking the animal with the car, and possibly in- jured it, but without a gun in the party, the driver did not care to investigate. An- other time, our driver, who had indulged in some strong drink, followed the moon which was rising, thinking it to be the tail light of one of the cars. He was brought STORY A X D VERSE 107 to the realization of his error by finding himself in ro cky territory, and we endured many severe bumps as he retraced tracks in search of the road where he found the other cars waiting for us. With two hours ' rest at Rutbah, we were on our way again, and while very weary, we were glad that much of the excessive heat of the desert was eliminated by this night travel. The next morning about ten o ' clock, we caught sight of palm trees, and knew that we were approaching the Euphrates river, and were nearing our journey ' s end. Tired, thirsty, and dusty, we came to the first river station in Iraq, Ramadi. There we had the opportunity to refresh ourselves with water and native coffee, but they were not temi ting nor safe. A fellow passenger, a Syrian woman, shared her mel- on, or I would have suffered greatly from thirst. Crossing from Ramadi to Bagdad, the road is very rough, but the strange and interesting sights helped us to forget the discomforts. Flocks o f sheep and herds of cattle were grazing in the fields ; ]ialm trees grew in abundance along the river banks ; and irrigated sections revealed the productiveness of the land. The people are different in type, manner, and dress, from the desert tribes. It is an interesting sight to see the . rab in his flowing cloak of thin brown material, black and white head-dress, swiftly riding his horse across the country. Bagdad was so very interesting. Its very name seems to spell enchantment. I was beginning to suffer from sand fly fever and went immediately to my hotel. Still feeling badly the next day, but anxious to reach my journey ' s end, I engaged a ta.xi to take me to 1 lillah, two hours from Bagdad.

A fool I am. 108 THE ARTISAN W ' 3 BLUE EYES AND PINK By Louise Oliver J WENT EXPL()RIXG vesterclay morning, Ijarefooted. and came upon i most delightful and cultured cat family, living in a stone wall. At first I saw only the mother cat, sitting like a sentinel before her castle. As I approached delighted to find that there are cats in Connecticut, she slowly turned her white head, twitched one ear and measured me up and down with her pink and blue eyes. We-e-11, hello there ! I exclaimed, in my best cat manner. I stroked her soft head, scratched her jowls, and finally knelt in the dew. Just then I noticed four bright blue eyes, clear as jewels, regarding me excitedly from an unbelievably small cleft in the rocks. Ah ! I cried, and the jewels disajipeared, as though buried in plush. Pres- ently, however, one saucy little kitten emerged, and began to bite at my toes. His mother calmly reached over and gave him one on the ear. The other bal y was shy, and kept wandering about from cleft to cleft, playing peek-a-boo with his beady little eyes, as though from the several windows of a house. Kitty, I said to the mother, I congratulate you. You are a very successful mother. I am sure your kittens will grow up to be aldermen someday. Then, as it was high time for lunch, and I had already been late for every meals so far, I gravely said goodbye to the mother and her family. How nice, I reflected, as I trudged along the grassy path beside the boule- vard, how nice to have some pets living far enough away so that one doesn ' t have to feed them, and close enough so that one can visit them every day. I paused for a moment to observe a garrulous cat-bird in a twisted apple tree, and the way the sun filtered through the maple leaves like gold paint splashed upon a green wall. Twice again I paused, once to tell a gardener what I thought of him for not let- ting me walk on his lawn, and then again to practise safety first in waiting for a car to chug by before I crossed the street. As I approached the dignified entrance of my aunt ' s colonial house, I stopped for a fifth time, with emotions indefinable. There was the mother cat, followed in single file by her two kittens, padding like three pleased visitors uj) the gravel path to the door. They had decided sudden- 1) to change their residence ! i STORY AND VERSE 109 1 - i ' ¥Ma f p p ; ' « ?f tei-A ■x-a ft ii ■ . .j-i Lfwl VALLEY FORGE Louise Oliver ■■ ESPITE THE FACT that it was the middle of summer when I saw Valley Jl — I I- orge, 1 anticipated a lileak vale covered with |ier]ietual snows, jiunctuated I 1 with a cannon or two from an antique shop, and infested with real-estate salesmen — Five dollars down, a neat little home where the kiddies can continually he under the ins])iration of those great men who — etc. To my sur])rise Valley Forge, at least in July, is a heautiful park of rolling- green hills, dotted with landmarks that constitute History as it should he. It was thrilling, and there are no real-estate salesmen, and not one hot-dog vender in the place ! At the end of a broad, winding road lined with graceful elms, we found the first landmark. It was a large marble arch, stately in design, and inscribed with names and eulogies worth remembering. Situated like a .star, with roads radiating in all di- rections, we could see miles of green lawn, lacy clumps of trees, and over everything a feeling of satisfaction and absolute peace. We finally took one of the radiating roads, which led us between two slim eagle-headed columns that commemorated the officers of the Revolutionary army, with skillful portraits in bas-relief. Then there were monuments and monuments, statues and statues. There were cannon, too, but they were the real ineffectual little cannon that ragged American gunners swore at, a hundred and fifty years ago. There were scores of little log cabins, the headquarters of various generals, and innumerable signs such as this : Mad Anthony Wayne ' s headquarters, or this is where General Green ' s division died of cold and starvation. A small memorial chapel, choked with mementos and priceless museum pieces, was almost depressing in the solemnity of the shifting light that came through stained glass windows depicting the life of George Washington. The climax of this historical panorama were the trenches, and Washington ' s headquarters. Imagine what your feelings would he upon seeing the actual breastworks thrown up so many years ago. Low and moss-grown, a moving. 110 THE ARTISAN 3 Q human touch that one does not find in hooks, still eloquently there. Another hundred years of snow and rain and picnickers will completely obliterate them. A circling road led to Washington ' s headquarters, a typical old colonial home, situated on a small grassy rise. In the side-yard was a funny cage-like affair, which at first sight seemed to 1ie a wire basket sunk upsicle down in the grass. This was a combination sentry post and prison window. When there were no prisoners, a keen-eyed young American soldier would descend by way of a grew- some cellar stairway into the dark room, where he would listen with all eyes and ears until his watch ended. If there were iirisoners, they would get what air and light they could from the window. The house was built on the familiar l)iix jilan. witli a hallway Ijelow, a hallway above, two rooms Jjelow, two rooms above, and a cellar-like kitchen at one side. The first room contained Washington ' s desk, his inkwell, his very pen. In a little closet to the left hung his three-cornered hat, his cape and sword, as though he had just put them there. In the kitchen, which had a dirt floor, were a neat Dutch oven and awkward, homely metal cooking utensils. Climbing the unstable, steep stairway, one finds two bedrooms. Great four-posted beds one expects, but a pair of quaint old s])ectacles lying so naturally on a little deal table, one does not. The other room was exactly the same, excejit that the simple rose- colored quilt that covered the bed was strewn with coins thrown in from the grating. Never again will I believe that the modern world despises such memories. Outside was a tiny museum, containing relics dug directly from where the soldiers fell. We were told that bodies were uncovered frequently. Then we saw more cannon, more breastworks, more battlefields, and the most interesting history lesson one could have was brought to a close when we passed thru the last outpost and entered the highway traffic again. 112 T H E A R T I S A N W ' 30 (§ THE SPIRIT OF THE SCHOOL Charlotte Brown NCE THERE WAS A LITTLE girl who desired to do something very brave. Not only something brave, but something daring and unconven- tional. As she checked off the list of shocking eHgibles on her fingers, she realized that notliing was sufficiently startling. Sun-back dresses were accepted. Ditching had l)ecome an established custom. It was no fun to break windows when one had to pay for them. Then, enter the idea. It entered suddenly from a chaos of sub-conscious thought-fragments, as all ideas do. The little girl resolved to surrender herself to shame and dishonor; to insult her school with vitriolic if silent blasphemy; to N(3T go to the next football game! Not fully comprehending the magnitude of such an action she calmly approach- ed the stadium the day of the footliall game, minus a ticket, and walked right by it to the next block. As she was about to put a stream of traffic between her and the site of the game, an observant friend shouted after her, Where are you going? ' anna go to the game with us? I am not going to the game, the little girl yelled back, boldly. Thinking some private catastrophe had descended upon our heroine, the obser- vant friend inquired, shriekingly, Why not ? I don ' t want to ! The little girl cr(jssed the street as calmly as before, allowing other dbserxant friends to carry the swooning bodies into the stadium. By the time she reached the corner of the next block, other friends had ques- ticinefl her anfl had been answered with a defiant, Tm not going to the football game because I don ' t want lo. 1 hate football games! Which was true. So onward strode our heroine, prostrate forms and gaping jaws in her wake. But no longer was she a heroine ; she had become a local pariah. She was eyed contemptuously by those of her acquaintances who knew and had not fallen. -She was given slanting glances of scorn and fury. She was snubbed, snickered and sniffed at. -She was made to feel the infinite extent of her degener- acy. Everyone seemed to know, and to hate her for what they knew. Yet the little girl crept on, waveringly. Her associates were gone, hut even strangers on the street seemed aware of her sin. They cast searing stabs of optical hate at her. Also, she heard the awesome cacaphony of the roaring multitude at the football game. They were roaring at her — hooting and jeering at her disgrace. Our heroine ' s courage was liroken. Turning, she ran back towards the stadium and those who were insulting her. She rejoiced in the fatigue which exercise i ro- duced. Puffing and panting, she staggered up to an iron wicket fence behind which reposed a nonchalant youth, and to whom the little girl breathlessly demanded, ( )ne ticket for today ' s game, please.

Three hundred of the travelers are leaving forever — bidding farewell to their Alma Mater. The majority think only about the next tri]) through the land of education. Undoubtedly this has been one of the most successful of all make-believe trips. Thus, this chronicle of W ' 30 Safari comes to a close. 132 THE ART ' IS AN W ' 30 THE GIANT SEQUOIAS }jv Kathleen Myers TGH UPON THE CREST of a time worn mountain, a weary traveler Ij paused for a moment to rest his eyes, upon the setting sun in a sea of fire I -J and gold, over the tops of silvery, giant trees. But only a moment did he pause for darkness was drawing around him and his only shelter was the top of a barren mountain and the sky. Slowly, as if regretting each movement away from the scene of beauty, he made his way toward the bottom of the hill. As forest growth became taller and taller until trees cut out what little light there remained in the evening skies, and l)lack tree tops took their places, the weary wanderer blindlv gro])ed his way through the cavernous gloom of the forest. Often stumbling through molding leaves into huge liodies of sturdy warriors of Nature, exhaustion won out and, dropping himself upon a bed of soft, sweet-smell- ing earth, he gave way to profoimd slumber. Tinsled shafts of glimmering sunlight drifting through the green-framed skylights in the dizzying heights of a massive tree-city slowly roused the lone man to vivid consciousness as he watched the leafy billows lose themselves in the blue of heavenly heights. Ferns and mosses refreshed the air and invigorated the whole soul and body of the sleeper as his eyes for the first time beheld in their stately glory the cathe- dral-like passageways of a i aradise with bark-walled streets and moss pavements. The lofty mansions gave forth sym]5honies of whispering winds caressing the leaves, and the breezes stirred hypnotic fragrances of a thousand queens of beauty. Bushy brown and grav squirrels scolded the intruder of the forest from safe distances, and a shy deer darted gracefully from sight at the slightest movement on the part of his human object of curiosity. The great bird-houses of the tree tops were alive and bustling as sweet cheerful songs escaped and played with the laughing elfin poets of the wind, and an occasional soft, feathered body betrayed its hiding place in swift flights from tree to tree. Standing amazed at the wonder of his surroundings, the man ' s steady eyes lost their view down an avenue of giants that finally closed out the light of day. In singular majesty they stood, poised in fullness of strength and beauty. Wind and rain of ages had not touched the fine old bodies of the stately shafts but had only caused them to send their adventurous roots ever deeper into the rich warm soil made loamy by years of constantly decaying foliage that had blanketed the earth. Lightning scarred bodies bravely battled the elements and sent new life into the new branches which they sent forth from the wounds of battle when electric darts beheaded them. As though under a spell of the divine, the wanderer was possessed with a just feeling of insignificance, for only a babe and inexperienced was he to these sages with their silent wisdom withheld from all manlxind. And the power of magnitude became still greater as he looked with worship upon the striped body of Old Sherman, the oldest and biggest of the loyal brotherhood, whose younger brothers, .still in eager, enthusiastic life, were first to bid rosy fingered Aurora good morning and the last to feel her warming rays before the chill of the night.

Feeling that they would like to have more of an insight into the subject of music, the club has aimed to have ])rograms which would be in- structive as well as entertaining. Some general ]5lan of study is decided upon for th.e term ' s wnrk and definitely followed throughout the semester. Because the aims liave been well determined, much of interest has been accomplished. The music of different countries has been studied, with plentiful illustration from folk song, art song, opera and symphony showing characteristic national traits. The historical study of the development of races, explains variations in their musical pr oduction. Reports and talks have been arranged with this interesting phase of music stud) ' in mind. Another subject of the club is to give opportunities to students for the pres- entation of their original composition work. Many students are interested in using music as a means of expression, and have created many worthy songs and instru- mental pieces. Other students are interested in music expression through i)erfor- mance on instrument or voice of the masterpieces of nuisic literature. Opportunity is given to these for hearings on club programs. Students may become members of this club whether taking work in music classes or not. The only requirement for membership is that they be genuinely in- terested in learning more about music, and that they be the type of student that will profit by association with other students interested in the same subject as them- selves, and will derive inspiration from the common interest. 138 THE ARTISAN ' ' ' 3 t _ n iicjii.uii itcj cliii ii«-jii nonz3n- ili D R A M A A X D M U S I C 139 MAID OF FRANCE By Frances Jones Firing all with her patriotism, the very spirit of Joan of Arc seemed to hover over the audience when the Maid of France, a one-act play written hy Harold Bridgehoiise, was presented in our auditorium Thursday, Novemher 7, in honor of Armistice Day. A most splendid character portrayal of Joan of Arc was given l)y Alyce Morehouse. The role of Blanche, the French flower girl, was played by Dorothy Lubert. Gerald Soames, an Fngbsh officer, was taken liy George French. The parts of an English cockney and a French soldier were ])layed by Jack Givens and Anthony Dominus, respectively. The play was gi -en under the joint direction of Miss Edwards and Mrs. Trummer. The opening scene takes place at the foot of a statue of Joan of .Arc, outside of a little church near Paris. One after another the three soldiers enter and linger near the statue of Joan. . flower girl enters and attempts to sell the French soldier her flowers, but he has no money. Then she tells the legend of Joan of Arc, that at midnight the statue of the maid becomes alive and talks. The flower girl later returns and gives the soldier a flower to lay at tlr.; feet of loan. In the meantime the Englishman has ]5laced a wreath there. . n .Xmericin sol- dier enters and all three soldiers fall asleep while waiting to see the miracle take place. At midnight Joan ' s statue conies to life. She speaks with contempt for the Eng- lish who wronged her. Paul, the Frenchman, ex])lains to her that the English are in reality the friends of France and allies. Joan joins hands with the Frenchman and the Englishman and thereby shows that a feeling of great friendship and good will between both nations has been established. The Armistice Day bell rings out her- alding the coming of a new peace on earth just as dawn comes and the statue again becomes lifeless.

' ompany under the direction of Mr. Donne! on Wednes- day, December 11. The scene takes place in the living room of the Taylor home. Mr. Taylor and his wife are correcting their two children, Robert and Elizabeth, about the use of slang. The children fail to see their parents ' jxiint of view. In order to turn the tables on them the parents plot with Mrs. Lee, the grandmother, to use slang themselves when James Ward, a college friend of Roi)ert ' s, comes to dinner that evening, and let the children see how ridiculous they themselves look. As. Mrs. Lee says, What ' s sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander, why not sauce for the goslings? The plot works perfectly and the children finally lieg their parents to stop the use of slang and be their natural selves again. The parents agree on the condition that the children will do the same, and the children willingly accept. The excellent cast included Roljert, the son. Irwin Jones; Elizabeth, the daughter, June Clifford; Mrs. Taylor, Ahlean Masters; Mr. Taylor, Conrad Mun- son; Mrs. Lee, the grandmother, Betty Jeanne Swift; James Ward, the college friend. Bill Lace; and the maid, Louise Cox. The staging of the play by the stage crew was under the direction of Mr. Andersen. CLEOPATRA This very clever burlesc|ue operetta was given to the student body in assem- blies on Thursday, Novemlier 14, 1929. The wholehearted applause which greeted the performance was an indication of its popularity. Many laughs were afforded the audience by the portrayal of Robert Johnson in the leading part as Cleo, a flirtatious college co-ed. William West was the sorrowful suitor who distinguished himself as a ghost in order to frighten away the other lovers. John Page was a verv interesting lover, cast as . nthony. Mis singing and dramatic ability quite electrified the audience. Art Menke, the campus sheik, Pompey and Bob Clatworthy. the Great Ceasar, the ex-athlete of the school. llerl) Thompson won commendation on his speaking part and good acting, lany of the chorus showed themselves actors of abilitv. What befell all the peppy college .students made the ])lot fascinating from beginning to end. i DRAMA AND MUSIC 141 ff (5 Knowles SENIOR A PLAY W30 HE ROMANTIC AGE, a delightfully modern, three act comedy, written by A. A. Milne, was staged January 16 and 17 by the Senior A Class under the direction of Miss Mae Edwards. The Scene for Acts I and III were laid in the hall of Mr. house. Act II took place in a glade in a wood in early morning. Bobby, a modern young lover, thinks he is in love with Melisande, Mr. Knowles ' romantic young daughter, who is bored with modern life. Her ideal hus- band is a romantic knight who would be dres.sed in lilue and gold. It just happens that a handsome young man on his way to a fancy dress ball has trouble with his car near her home. Melisande sees him when he comes to the house to borrow some petrol for his car. His costume makes him appear the picture of her dreams. Next morning in a nearby forest the two young people meet again and have a very romantic conversation because they have both fallen in Ujve at first sight. They decide to go away together that afternoon. By this time Bobby has realized that Jane, a sweet young cousin of Melisande, is really the one he loves. An amusing scene takes place while things are settled between them. Melisande ' s romantic knight a])[)ears in loud colored knickers, to her horror, and Melisande decides to reconsider Bobby ' s ])roposal. As Bobl y is already in love with Jane it of course is impossible for him to explain to Melisande that he no longer loves her. However when Melisande and Gervase are left alone to- gether he convinces her that he can be l)otli romantic and ])ractical and tells her that she must find romance in everything. Thus it is all solved happily. The cast of The Romantic Age was composed of a talented group of Senior A ' s, all of whom were well suited to their parts. Henry Knowles was played l)y Herbert Thompson; lary, his wife, liy X olet Almstead ; Melisande, the romantic, by Alyce Morehouse; Jane by ( )lga Stewart; Bobby, the much sought after lover, by Jack Givens ; Gervase Maliory, 1 - Robert Binney ; Ern, the comical simpleton, by Frank McClelland; a dignified society gentleman was played by Anthony Dom- inis ; and Alice, the maid, by Frances Starr. Each character gave a fine and inter- esting performance. The stage crew and art classes designed and built the scenery. 142 T H E A R T I S A N W 3 SEXKJR ORCHESTRA Climaxing- this ' .erm ' s study of symphony music, the Senior Orchestra pre- sen ed a concert, January second, on Ahimni Home-coming Evening.

A dignified chorus man introduced the principals, each stepping between the parted curtains Ijefore the ])antomime began. He also gave the auience the content of each scene In ' a few fitting words of explanation. A grou]3 of singers, seated in the rear on a Chinese bridge, sang the music which explained the action. Shi Hwang Te, the cruel and imperious emperor, is desirous of possessing Pee Chee, the golden voiced nightingale whose magic song has so charmed the courtiers. He dispatches Cheng Fu to find the bird for him. If Cheng Fu fails to do so the whole court is to be beheaded. The chamberlain is in despair, but the humble kitchen maid, Lee Su, promises to aid him. All is in vain and the terrified courtiers assemble expecting to lose their heads. Pee Chee appears just at tlie fatal hour and saves their lives, but he is unhap])y and at night he flies away. The emperor is heartbroken at his loss and cannot be consoled even with a toy singing bird which Cheng Fu brings him. Shi Hwang Te becomes ill, and is called by Death, Pee Chee appears again and bargains with Death to exchange the emperor for a song. Death agrees and in the morning, when the courtiers come to mourn, they find the emperor well again. Mem])ers of the cast were : Emperor.

The instrumental ensemble consisted of Elsa Bartlett and Georgia Mae Young, violins ; Estelle Bruckman, flute ; Joe Reves, traps ; and Gladys Lister, piano. I W THE WEST, A SAFARI By Lois Conkle ■HAT IS THE SPIRIT of the West? What is the underlying, warm feehng toward the West that is prevalent in every corner of the world ? The grand, glorious west will he forever famous for its splen- did service to others, and its self-reliance. Personal favors to friend or stranger without the expectation of reward is characteristic. The West welcomed hardship and danger. The spirit gave every man a chance to express himself and in no way curbed any of his individuality. The Western code was held high with pride and loyalty — a code that inspired the best in all men who were ready at all times to die for one another. The power of forgiveness in the West was as strong as the sturdy pines which top the green, sloping hills, A cowboy, regardless of whether he was an Oregon buckaroo, a Wyoming rider, or a Texan bronco buster, plac ed his devoted allegiance to the entire West, God ' s Country. Before the West was settled the only inhabitants were a few white traders, fur trappers, and Indians. With the thrilling discovery of gold, into the West pour- ed a huge multitude of gold-hungry souls with no thought of homesteading those large, rolling plains and fertile valleys. With the miners, came the merchants and the transportation companies. The Army aided in the birth of the West and in its early education in law and order. The herders followed their adventurous shee]) into the grass-covered nidun- tains. They were few in number and under the domination of the cattle men. The real founders of the spirit of the West were the ranchers, and their allies the cowpunchers. These fearless, loyal men entered the lonely expanse of God s Country and accepted the customs and traditions of the hunters, trappers, traders and early pioneers. With this material they created the code of the W ' est and per- formed a task that will live in the memories of future generations. The thrilling West-lore of today vividly portrays the low. rambling ranch houses; Ijow-legged, faithful cowpunchers; green, velvety foothills and mountains dotted with woolly sheep and the plains and valleys filled with grazing Hereford cattle and cow ])onies. The romantic moonlight scenes of the lonely cowboy stand- ing his watch while his soft, crooning tenor solos echoed through the night air and soothed the restless cattle, are delightful and enchanting. The apjiealing stories of a cowboy ' s love for his horse, strike our very heart -strings and instill within us the Western spirit of devotion. A cowboy is constant- ly cheerful and never complains. His courage is boundless and his rambling west- ern mannerisms are like a breath of fresh air to our sophisticated minds. A cowboy ' s diversions create a world-wide interes t and curiosity. The taran- tula and rattle-snake duels are as amusingly fascinating to the real westerner as the cock fight or frog race are to a small child. Savage wolverines and huge hug- ging grizzlies are given a chance to let the best man win by tearing one another to pieces. Foot races are a pride of the Vest, especially to the Indians. When the rain beats mercilessly down upon the rancho and the snow flakes flurry thru the ' 46 THE ARTISAN V ' 30 chill night air — the cowboys pull up a chair and jilay a few games of poker or seven up. The cowboys enjoyed a dance on the eve of a feast-day, the round-u]is close. Thanksgiving. Christinas or New Years. All of the traditions of the open range ])lay a big part in the glamor of the Old West. The cattle country did not consist of big, burly lirutes with an over- supply of Ijrawn and a limited capacit}- for knowledge. The West lioasted an aris- tocracy of the scout, the ranch foreman, the to]) riders, the crack shots, the drivers on the main stage routes and the dominating rancho owners. The West had a keen sense of admiration for individual achievement and did not deny their deep hero-worship of the bold train robbers who made a practice of looting the gold from the stages. The West is the most human country on the face of the earth. The men who created the real spirit of the West and who harnessed democracy west of the Mason and Dixie line wore ' chaps ' . They were virile, warm-hearted men of real idealism, high courage, and brave achievement. These Empire Builders will never be forgotten. : ,.i i ,te -, fil 148 THE ARTISAN W ' 30 THE COACHES It would he unsportsmanlike to bask in the glory cjf our enviahle a ' hletic stand- ing in the City League without giving due recDgnition to those indefatigable workers, our coaches. Coach Sid. F. Foster. Coach Foster, head of our jihysicil education de- partment, has been at Manual for the past twelve years. He is recognized as one of the best in the city. This year Mr. Foster will act as head track menlor replac- ing John Fox. James J. Blcwett. The creation of teams tliat have been victorious or in the running, is Coach Blewett ' s continuous record for four years. Squads coached by Blewett invariably stand high in the estimation of other schools Under his guiding hand are the varsity football and basketball teams, and class B track. James J. Aniistrong Jr. One of the best Class C track teams in Southern California was put forth by Coach Armstrong. He also aided in rounding out the cham]-)ionship basketball team ; a fine record for such a limited stay at Manual. Arthur E. IVilliams. The well known championship g -ni team has as its master. Coach Williams. He has ke]it the record of the squad at its peak, by his instructions. He also tok over the Class B Ijasketball squad. Charles Toiiev. Coach Toney is the infant mentor. In other words he is a newcomer. Notwitiistanding that fact he has already won an honored place in the hearts of Manual students. This year he assisted Blewett in coaching varsity football. Herbert H. Loiigheed ' arsity baseball. Class C football and correctixe gym come under the able sujiervision of Coach Lougheed.

But gradually as the games were played, it receded as a ghost, from view, leaving in its wake a host of disappointed Manualites. The practice games with Inglewood and Long Beach were termed successful ; and after trouncing Poly in the first league game of the season by a decisive score all the dopesters figured a Manual championshi]). Then came that buff and blue specter called Franklin, a su|)])osedly weak team, which partially stamped out the flames of hope by gaining an unexpected victory, . fter beating Lincoln in the fol- lowing game hope again ran rampant, but then came L. A., an unbeaten team and an age old rival. The Blue and White s(|uad gleefully ran to a 19-9 -ictory crushing in the slaughter, all expectations. The remaining teams, Hollywood and Jefferson, were played and van(|uishefl. So ended the season, Although Alanual did not win a chani])ionshi]) its team may be counted suc- cessful l)y the fact that four of its menrbers. Gabriels, Aloeller. Jones, and Kldua- yan, were selected for .-Ml City positions and two were chosen for the second team. « A T H L E T I C S 15! PRACTICE GAMES MANUAL vs. IN(;LE ' 00D. SEPTEMBER 27 On the afternoon of Septem ' ier 17. the purjile and grey meteor hurled itself against the green and white horde of Inglewood for the first hectic practice game cif the season. The score 6-0, in favor of Inglewood shows how closely the two teams were matched. Accompan}-ing the sturdy warriors of the gridiron were a spirited nnltitude of Manual enthusiasts. These fans with the aid of cheer leaders succee led in pro- d.ucing a volume of organized noise unusual for a ]iractice tilt. After battling futilely for two periods, Inglewood finally put the hall over the stripe for a touchdown in the latter jiart of the third (|uarter. Fighting desperately for a touchdown in the last quarter. Manual failed t(j reap any reward. The game ended without further .scoring. 1 MANUAL vs. LONc; BEACH, OCTOBER 4 When Manual arrived in Long P)each October 4, to engage that High School in the annual football battle, the multitude had not assemljled as it was only a prac- tice game. Both squads performed in a sluggish manner neither side showing any superiority over the other which is sliown by the score 6-6. No outstanding per- formances were given by any of the squad. 152 THE ARTISAN 3 ATI MANUAL vs. POLY, OCTOBER 11 Ten thousand fans rose in unison in the giant bowl of the Coliseum as the Manual Maulers swept over the Golden Tornado in the first league game of the 1929 football season, that game which is so important in determining the prep league pennant winner. It was clearly a one sided battle. Manual held the balance of power during the entire game. They were threatened only once, when Gomez made a brilliant seven- ty-one yard run around right end to Poly ' s lone touchdown. Captain Gabriels, Rhein and Howard accounted for Manual ' s 26-6 victory. ward usual sll ! v ATHLETICS 153 MANUAL vs. FRANKLIN, OCTOBER 18 6-3, gives a vivid picture of one of the hardest fought battles during the entire season, the Manual-Franklin game, ]3layed on Vils(jn F iel(l. The tilt was full of jjenalties, breaks and freak ]:)lays. After battling ineffectually for two quarters against the Panther ' s strong for- ward wall, the ball was given to Old Faithful, Cashill to kick a field goal. As usual he was successful and thereliy gained three points. In the third period after a pass there arose a chaos of bouncing around and finally the ball landed in the open arms of a Franklin warrior, whereupon he galloped to a touchdown. Such are the breaks of a game. 154 THE ARTISAN ' ' 3 MANUAL vs. LINCOLN, OCTOBER 25 Fresh from a spirit breaking defeat at the hands of Franklin, Manual ' s warriors trotted forth on Wilson Field with a grim determination to win. Although handicapped greatly by the loss of Captain Gabriels anrl Jones, due to injuries, the boys adequately replaced them by hard playing. The first score came in the beginning two minutes of play when Howard dashed thirty-one yards to a score. The last score was made in the third quarter when Faegan pushed the ball over the marker for a total of 14-0. This victory kept Manual in the running for the City Championshii).

Stan, a mighty fine guard, has another vear of competition, and should prove a real star. Bob Spaiildiuij. Boli received very little praise for his sjilendid work this year. His playing as inside tackle was a constant threat to opposing linemen, . fter three years of varsity competition at Manual, Bob leaves with a well earned one star letter. Bill Hoivard. Howard played half-back this season and proved one of the best in the city. Howard developed into the best passer in the city, and his bullet passes will not soon be forgotten. Bill has another year to perform for Manual. Herb Fcagau. Herb Feagan played a great game at quarterback on this season ' s varsity. Feagan did the punting and developed splendidly. Herb did some nifty punting in the L. A. tilt. Herb has one more year to play for Manual. Wayne Henderson. Henderson, with a world of fight, played end this season. Inexperienced at the beginning. ' ayne developed very rapidly. He leaves with a one star letter. Dave Anderson. Dave played tackle and was known as a consistent per- former. Dave has another year to ]ilay for Manual and shoukl prove a real star next season. 160 THE ARTISAN W ' 20 1 I Bob 5pa.u.ld. rvQ Left TacUVe Dave AndersoK Left Tackle « RigKtEnd X ' .

All girls who receive AI ' s will be mem- bers. The Play Day at Fremont in which the Girls ' Athletic Association took part was very enjoyable. The Girls ' Athletic Association cabinet of this term was as follows : president, Winnie Jarrett ; vice-president, Maxine Burmeister ; treasurer, Dorothy Ogier ; secretary, Sarah Smith ; corresponding secretary, Katherine Nieter ; head of hockey, Helen Kusely ; head of basketball, Martha Calderwood ; and yell leaders, Virginia Brunner, Evelyn Wilhelm, and Eleanor Wisneiwski. The advisers are Misses Lockwood and Davis. GIRLS ' DANCING CLASS Miss Albright ' s first period dancing class has achieved much this term. It en- joys clogging twice a week and interpretative dancing three times a week. This schedule was so successful that it will continue next term. The girls who have been outstanding in dancing the past term are Frances Starr, Jean Clark, and Virginia May. GIRLS ' RIFLE TEAM The girls on the Rifle Team this term are: Anne . vekian.

C. life a most efficient and successful experience. The FL perfect standing of the unit is due to the tireless efforts of Major Fred Kullenlierg, his staff, and the able guidance of our instructors, Capt. W. R. Wilson and Sgt. C. E. Littler. The executive heads of the unit have been above par in Captain Adjutant, William Sparks ; Cajjtain Instructor, . l in Mann ; and Personnel Adjutant Harold W ' aite. The company commanders who led their units so expertly were : Capt. Aura Prather, Company A ; Capt. Starling Trimble, Com- pany B : Capt. Lee Haines. Ccjmpany C ; and Capt. Leroy Wilson, Company D (Band). The battalion this term was composed of over 200 men. and every one is a loyal supporter who will rejoin next year to defend our title of Honor School. The Manual army participated in the Armistice Day parade at the Coliseum and was complimented by military authorities on their excellent showing. Other outstanding activities this term were: the impro ement in the rifle range, which is soon to be the best in the city, the renowned R. ( ). T, C. ball, one of the biggest social affairs of the semester; the activity of the famous crack drill squad; and Blunt Troplny day, with its keen competition. The Field Committee functioned this term, iniiler the .guidance of Capt. Aura Prather, with ])ronounced success. The Officers ' Club lias retained its previous high standards of the past and accomplished a great many things, the best of which, in the way of social activities, was a formal dinner dance at the Deauville Beach Club. The officers were ]3resident, Capt. Cox; vice-jiresident, Capt. Sjiarks ; secretary, Capt. Prather; treasurer. Lieut. Roberts; sgt.-at-arms, Ca])t. Haines. Furthering the efficiency of the unit was the Non-Commissioned Officers ' Club, led by Sgt. LaGue. The rifle team, which gained fifth ] lace in the entire west, will coniijete again in February. This team is rapidly get ' .ing in shape and will certainly make a group of expert riflemen. A great deal of credit for the showing of the team goes to the coach, Sgt. Littler. We know that with the instructors, the great spirit prevailing, and the hard work of the members of the unit, the Manual R, O. T. C. will maintain its high standards and remain a most po ent factor in the life of the school. , THE ARTISAN W ' 3 uFi ' T. ALi.KV ' i,. i;k iiT-i;? wrr.ijON ki.ine i iji:lt i-kavton wheeler R. O. T.

' isit any company, Mi troo]!, or battery and there you would be sure to meet, and be confronted with, loud and blaring notice that denizens of the Manual tribe were pres- ent in force. Everyone was determined to demonstrate his ability as a doughboy, trooper, machine gunner and what have you. The cavalry, as usual, drew the greatest number of army cowboys. Many an enthusiastic sojor who went forth to make himself a name, came back, after be- ing thrown for a loss, and calmly lay down on his bunk to die in peace. And then, of course, there were the usual blessings of cold mornings, bunks full of corn flakes and worse, aching anatomies, and a mean blues who made you do police duty every morning. Of the cavalry. Troop B was pronounced the most efficient. The composition of Troop B was about half Manualite. Need more be said? There was very little excitement this year, except a small brush fire, several skirmishes, trooper versus doughboy, several engagements of fistcuffs and a cavalry parade thru the main street of Monterey about 9 P. M. which was brok en up by energetic M. P ' s. O, yes, there was a visitor ' s day and the Fourth of July! Four candidates fell in the bay, three were roughly kicked by I. W. W. horses, un- told numbers sick from indulging in everything from firecrackers to pink lemon- ade, many more fell victims to fishing excursions and were removed from the boat gently, feet first. And visitor ' s day, when proud papas and mamas arrived to watch their hopefuls perform. They were not disappointed. The events, both military and athletic, were of the finest calibre and a credit to the young men who participated in them ' . At the various C. M. T. Camps are gathered the best of the youth of the country. There they are taught citizenship, sportsmanship, patriotism and good fellowship. They are not prey to militarism and Prussianism, as is sometimes suji- posed. No cleaner, finer, more sportsmanlike boys were ever brought together in military groups. Several Manual students gained the destinctive honor of trving out for the national rifle team, commonly known as the Camp Perry Team. In the machine- gun outfits two Toilers tied for first place in high score with machine-guns. One of these, Lieut. Edward Dell, attained the enviable destinction of being the best white or 2nd year man in the infantry battalion. Among the highlights were : Skirmish between battery and cavalry in which the only damage done was the near-freezing of a lot of would-be rioteers who stood around in the brisk night air waiting for something to happen, clad only in pyjamas. Nicely perfumed letters whose arrivals were always greeted with good natured kidding. The fifty mile march of the cavalry squadron to Point Lobos. n THE ART ' ISAN W ' 30 The Court Martial of two Manualites and three Polyites for disturbances of the peace of the squadron. Sore thumbs, Ijitten by angry horses when the owners attempted to put the bits in their mouths. Crawling between the sheets just before taps and meeting a snake face to face, then waking up the whole troop and getting K. P. for it. Whatta life ! Finding your light bulb missing just when you needed it most. Sitting in your tent peacefully and suddenly being buried under seemingly tons of canvas, as your tent collapsed. One is always assured that these camps will lie o erflowing and I can assure you that Manual will nearly always head the list. All the old camps ers are eagerly awaiting next year, when they will be able to perform all these antics over again. THE R. 0. T. C. BAND This term will always he rememberer by the R. T). T. C. P)and as one of the most successful that has ever been realized. This was largely due to the high state of organization displayed by the bandsmen. Mr. Dury deserves much credit for his most efficient leadership. Leroy Wilson, our cadet captain, was largely responsible for the strong sense of organization that was characteristic of the band. He has been a wonderful fellow and a real captain. The second lieutenants were Weldon Kline and Clayton Wheeler. As to our activities, there has been the Armistice Day parade, football lrills. and a review each ' ednesday. The Band Concur, was also greatly enjoyed- Members are: Raymond Anderson, Elmer Bickel, Jack Bidwell, Leon Bine, Bob Binkley, Albert Bresnik, Art Chandler, Albert Christie, Alan Clark, Ona Conrad, Robert Crysler, Dave Eider, Ernest Eddy, Jim Fergu. on, Dudley Flanders, James Oilman, Richard Creggs, Cordon Gudie, Raymond Hack, Fred Heaton, Iwerett Hegwood, George Hendricks, Frank Hofogge, PVancis Jackamin, Robert Johnson, F ' orbes Jones, Willis Kifer, Weldon Kline, Arthur Kruell.

Beginning a year ago fL under Aura Prather the squad, whose members were then non-coms, by work and sudy ])erfected their drill with the evident success the are enjoying. The most important engagement of this semester was a trip to the State Convention of the Reserve Officers ' association at Fresno, a the invitation of the Los Angeles Chapter. Here they performed at luncheons, the convention itself, and at the magnificent dinner dance in the Hotel Californian. They have also performed at a banfjuet at the Alexandria Hotel, at the great .- rmistice Day Ball, given by the Reserve Officers ' association, at the Patriotic Hall 1 efore the U. S. V. ' ., at .Amer- ican Legion ]X)sts, and several ])rominent lodges. The sc|uad from Manual Arts has become known throughout the state. They will be together again next term to con- tinue their drills. The entire sf|uad, with the exception of two memljers, graduate in June. The personnel of this famous squad is: Captain : ura Prather, Commander; Capt. Lee Haines; Lieut. John Ashford, the rifle twirler of the squad; Lieut. Horace Doolan ; Sgt. Eugene Colrein ; Lieut. Ray Abrarason ; Lieut. Edwin Kangas ; Lieut. r)rval Falkenstein ; Sgt. Ral LaGue ; and Sgt. Les Chronister. PENS AND BAGPIPES 01 Liv AUNOLDINE LakSEN I E ,C( )TCH ARE NOT PENURIOUS, hut they are N-ery cautious, savs Miss Ka herine Alurphy, recently returned from Giasj;;ovv Un- i ersitv with an j l. A. resting on her hrow, or wherever M. A. ' s are usually supposed to rest. In spite of the decidedly Irish name, beware of all quotations anent the characteristics of the Scots, as she is part Scotch and is worit to uphold that country. In spite of prevailing; stories to the contrary, the Scotch are very hospitable and trusting. Miss AIur])hy tells of recei ing a Glasgow doctor ' s bill the last of December in Los Angeles, for services last June in Glasgow. It reads: Dr. McA ' pine presents his compliments to Miss Katberine Murph}- and begs t;) intimate that his fee for the quarter will be — . It appears that Glasgow University is a combination of college and university. Of course the students are mainly Scotch; but there are many other na ionalities represented, the French and East Indians being particularly numerous : although Miss Murphy was the first American ever to study there. There is a system in use whereby students take the course of their choice — in which they are given considerable leeway — and if they study at all, receive a ticket which permits them to take the final examination. If the first examination is not passed, the student may take it at any time he or she desires after that, at the cost of five dollars per exam- ination. ( Needless to say, all bagpipe skirlrs try to pass it the first time. ) Under the system a numlier of students cannot bear to jiart part with their dear old Alma Mater and consequently fail to pass the final examinations. After a few years they are termed chronics; and when they eventually graduat. it is the cause of much celebration and merriment among the undergraduates, who sit in the back of the auditorium and sing in concert Old Soldiers Never Die, and throw rolls of paper at random throughout the audience and on the stage when vhe chronies receive their di]3lomas. One of the quaint customs of this university is the way in which studen ' s are able to get their degrees in some course with absolutely no English. It is possible to skip around wi bin the limits of the course very freely, and take whatever desired. The course is usually finished in three years, the semesters opening in October and ending in May. In the arts course there are four curriculums. It is said that G ' asgow University is much stiff er in its requiremen s than the majority of American Universities. The professors have a very keen sense of humor if at times rather biting; but the students return the caustic compliments in their own ribald way. It is a very moral place and the boys sit on one side of the class rooms and the girls on the other, ' hen the prof is late the young gentlemen start chanting in unison, why are we waiting, with no variation, to the tune of Adeste b ' ideles. 176 THE A R T ' I S A N W ' 3 Miss Muriihy remarked tlic ' it tliis Sco ' lcIt university is able to distinguish lie- tween sports and studies ; but it is feared that they have other vices in the form of s ramajAones and bag;pi])es. In her mother ' s estimiation, the aiiiHty to render the song, Xo Wonder She ' s A Bkishing Bride (c[uite normal, l)y the wav ) on the ukelele with suitable accompaniment is far superior to her learned accomplish- ments. Despite tales of examina ' ions six hours long, it is gathered that a certain amount of time and fenor is dedicated to the shrine of music. — CrXyA- IV ' Vt u- ' M 178 THE ARTISAN W ' 3 THE EPHEBIANS Iheir a AS A FIGHTING CLOSE to four years of scholarly activity eight of the most outstanding memhers of the Safari class were elected as Ephehians by the faculty. Those honored were: Jim Elliott, Caroline Farrington, Russell Hopkins, George Maulhardt, Frances Rupert, Edith Schiller, Roku Sugahara, and Margaret Woods. Election to membership on this honorary society is based upon leadership, outstanding scholarship, and character. Russell Ho]5kins was president of the student body and also a singer of note. James Elliott served as boys ' vice-president of the student body. George Maul- hardt was actively engaged in the role of president of the Scholarship Society. Roku Sugahara acted in the capacity of Weekly editor, Senior Forum president, and as a debater, among many other activities. Caroline Farrington, besides having a high scholarship record, was secretary of the Safari class during the Senior B term. Frances Rupert was girls ' vice-presi- dent of the student body and an accomplished singer. Edith Schiller, while win- ning a Gold Seal for scholarshi]i, served capably as Girls League president. Mar- garet Woods was an active memlier of the Girls ' League and a Gold Seal winner. Into the hands of these eight, the Senior A class has entrusted the honor of representing their class as fit young men and women to u])hold the ideals of the Ephebian Society — to transmit this city more beautiful and far greater than it was transmitted to them. coniin FEATURE S 179 THE SPIRIT OF EPHEBIA Athens, 300 B. C. Los Angeles, 1918 A. D. EPHEBIANS are men and women chosen by pubHc authority to serve the City. Dr. Albert Shiels, Founder of the Ephebian Society The Ephebian order was created in Athens during the third century B. C. This order is the direct basis of the Ephebian Society of Los Angeles, organized in 1918 A. D. The Ephebian Order in Athens constituted a distinct social order, recognized by the state and regarded by the people as the hope and pride of Athens, for in this organization were the finest young men of the city — banded to- gether for a common cause — the glory of tlicir City. The awarding of Ephebianship was, to them, more of a trust than an honor. Each felt it his honest duty to work, not for his own personal honor and glory, but for the glory of his City. Upon their admittance to the Ephebian Order they were required to take the following Oath of Allegiance : We will never bring disgrace to this our city, by any act of dis- honesty 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 in- cite 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 all these ways, we will transmit this city not only not less, but far greater and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us. This is the same oath that api)ro.ximately one thousand high school graduates in the City of Los Angeles have taken upon their graduation from high school. They, too, have accejited this Oath for its true value and are striving and will continue ot strive to make this city far greater and more beautiful. There are now twenty-one high schools represented in the society, and out of the thousand members from these different high schools, over one-tenth are Manual Arts Alumni. It is thus easily seen that Manual has always had a prom- inent part in the function of this organization. When the Ephebian Society was organized in 1918, four of its twelve charter members were Manual graduates. All were officers in the organization— Dwight H. Reay was the first president, Evelyn Gore, the first vice-president, Dorothy Mc- Donald, the first historian and treasurer, and Lyle Rooks, the first secretary. Since that time the Society has had thirteen presidents ; four of them have been Manual graduates and one was re-elected for another term, namely Dwight H. Reay, William Barber Jr., Dwight II. Reay (re-elected in 1924-25), Helen Perrelli and Everett Bailie. Miss Elizabelh Ruppeck (now Mrs. W. H. Petersen), an in- structor in our school, was vice-president of the Society in 1923-24. Miss Helen Perrelli, now vice-president of the Manual Arts Alumni Association, was presi- dent of the Society in 1925-26. There have been only two women presidents in the 180 THE ARTISAN Y ' 3 history of the organization, and Miss Pcrrclh was one of ihem. Not only the Alumni of Alannal Arts hut also the faculty has played a part in the growth of Ephehia, The design for the Ephebian ring, which is the symbol (jf memliershi]) in the Society, was made by Mr. Douglas Donaldson, art instructor at Manual Arts High School in 1918. The ring was made to depict the Oath. The round Greek shiekl represents the Defence of the City, bearing the word Epheb- ian in raised letters ; on the shield is a torch, tyiiifying Liberty and Enlightenment ; all is circled with a laurel wreath for Honor. The ])ractice of purchasing them from the student body funds was instituted by Dr. . lbert E. Wilson, ]5rincipal of Man- ual Arts High School, and was extended to the other scliools in 1920. It must not be supposed that the purpose of the Society is to promote rivalry between, the graduates of different schools. Its oliject is exactly opposite. Here, if an - vhere, the .Alumni of all schools work t(jgether. like the young men of .Athens, for a common end — the gloriticati(jn or their City. It is only that Manual students should know the Spirit of Ephebia in order that they may, as their turn comes, willinglv and gladly to their share to uphold its fine ]iurpose. Manual Arts is only a tenth of a splendid organization, and the other nine- tenths are n ' lade up of e(|ually fine young people, who will imdoul tedly be the ci ic leaders of the time to come. Epheliians need not be for Epheliians alone. It is a fine example for all young men and women to follow. Recently a book was puljlished by the Society. Its closing paragraph truly expressed the Spirit of Ephebia : E]5hebianism is not a theory. It is a proved method of serviceable living. Those voung citizens, chosen to liecome Ephbians by their fellows, as honorable men and women, have an ol)ligation to enter whole-heartedly into the serviceable living of true Epheliianism — an obligation which they can not honorably evade. Ruth Howler, 28. Ik! sen:i FEATURES 181 THE SPECTATOR ■rHE SPECTATOR is a very useful inihlicatioii. as it is generally a good i representative of the school ' s hterary standard; and it also serves its pur- Lf i pose hy inspiring the students, even but faintly interested in writing, to turn out v ' ork. This magazine is generally read and criticized in the English classes, thus showing students how their own work may be criticized, and bringing out the qualities which are most desired in writing. Altho the work of a student may not be accepted for quite a while, he is gradually obtaining an experience which will be eventually valuable to him in many ways. Alany of the contributors to the Sjjcctator attend the work shop class and the Pegasus Club, which are entirely gvien over to creative writing. It is hoped that inthe future the students will become more interested in this magazine and turn in interesting work and more of it.

I lay in a hammock surrounded by iced tea, cream candy, and ]iink pillows. I was reading a delightfully gory murder tale, which included an insane gorilla. .Ml was peaceful; life was rosy. I languidly raised my eyes and saw two decidedly plump maidens crossing the lawn. The plumper one was attired in a pair of tweed knickers and a white rough-neck sweater. Her face was a deej) tomato hue. The slightly less plump one wore an outfit no less warm. I felt a sud- den rise in the tem])erature. ' ' Hello darling, gurgled the plumper maid in a rich, oily oice, you lotik heavier ! Hello, angel! Not candy? Oh dear! I never eat candy. She absorbed maple fudge and cream candy at one fell swoop. Wanna ' go for a hike and lose five pounds? You need to actually, my dear. You look — well — not fat, but pleasantly plump. A cold chill ran down my hack, despite the ninety degrees in the shade. The day was warm, but the plumper maid assured me I would lose five pounds, and the no less plump one in an even oilier voice mentioned how easy it was to change a much curved anatomy (oh, cruel, bitter words!) to a figure of fragile delicacy. The day was hot, I was comfortable, the insane gorilla was vastly entertaining, but that baleful word plump was too much. They came, they gurgled, they con- quered. I was utterly crushed. I agreed to hike to the ends of the world in iiursuit of a slender silhouette. We are going to start at five in the morning, said the first maid. Wear wool hose, hiking boots, tweed knickers, a sweat shirt, and a leather jacket, and bring a seven pound pack — fill it full of old shoes. Til bring the lunch. Well, g ' bye. They oozed off the lawn, melted into the glare of the sini. I lay back exhausted. Life was suddenly very sad. I felt abused. Horrors! Murder! Help! Gorilla! Oh, no. Only an alarm clock. Good gosh, it was still night and still hot. I rolled out of bed and pulled on the wool socks. They were very scratchy. The sweat shirt was hot. The leather coat was stifling. But I was game. One must suffer for the sake of beauty. There was an unearthly racket outside. The two maidens had arrived in a dilapidated Ford. It was on its last wheels, and they were pretty well shot. I grabbed my pack, which included six pairs of shoes, a couple of stew-pans, a pink plas;er elephant, a ])(.)rtable victrola, in fact everything but the kitchen stove. I climbed into the Ford. One ])lump maid sat in ni}- lap: the other leaned all over me. It was very hot. The stew-pans stuck in my ribs and French heels rested coyly in mv ear. I was utterly crushed. The sun rose and we had a flat tire. Little mishajis make the trip so thrill- ing, burbled both plum]) m.aids. I skinned mv knuckles: the jack sli]iped. Oh, how funny, snickered one plump maid, l)umj)ed my head. They both giggled. I began to think the gorilla had been quite justified in tearing blond women limb from limb. I FEATURES 183 We arrived. Both girls were full of pep and energy. They surveyed steep rocky trails with a happy laugh. I smiled a rather sickly smile. We began to hike. I brought u]) the rear and inciden all - found out how much dust could be kicked up. and how nnich dust one could eat. A blister developed on my heel. The port- able victrola rested on my neck. The plaster ele])hant stuck in my back, and the six pairs of shoes all kicked me at every s t K I began to see the advantages of the kitchen stove. We hiked ! It grew hot. We hiked ! ! ! I grew hotter. We hiked ! T dropped. We hiked ! I melted. We hiked ! ! ! I say, -we hiked ! ! At last the i)lum])er maid called a halt for lunch. I was hungry, very hungry; in fact, I craved nourishment. She produced two soda crackers and a glass of water. That was our lunch. We started down. I was even hotter. It was at least three hundred in the shade, and there was no shade. 1 can ' t go on. The memory of that trip back is too ] ainful, too l)itterly sad. When I got home, I was a total wreck. 1 forgot to mention we had three more flats. We would have had four, but that ' s all the tires we had. We came home on the rim. At last I got home. I weighed. I had gained three pounds! ( )li, death, were is thy sting? THE CIIRISTIMAS MESSAGE By R. a. Mavnard Peace and good-will the angels sang. O ' er all the earth the chorus rang ; The Babe within the manger lay. Cradled on bed of straw and hay. Out of the East the wise men came ; Seeking neither gold nor fame. They followed where the bright star led. Until they came to the Young Child ' s bed. Here in the stable rude and crude. They worshipped Him in reverent mood. The Christ who came from heaven above To give the world His message — Love. Love that holds the planets constant on iheir way. Guides the swallows ' flight to sunny skies, Leads the nations upward to the perfect day, Yet reveals itself in baby eyes. 184 THE ARTISAN W ' 30 RALLY DAY PROGRAM Class of Winter 1930 Manual Arts Auditorium Wednesday, January 29, 1930 Verdi Processional March from Aida ......

The liig, home-hke camp- LfL us which surrounded the college was now a lilur of vermillion-and-white with enthusiastic students and now just like a mammoth red and white checker board, continually moving and shifting. The event was to be a boat race. Even now, the mock checker board seemed to be as one, moving slowly toward the winding river on the east side of Misty Craig College. Two small sailboats could be seen from the east shore. One was of a dashing Vermillion with a scarlet flag flashing from her to]). It was a nifty little outfit, strong, and yet as smooth as glass. It seemed so sure of itself, so confident! If that outfit has a good skipper, it ought to go, commented some of those dressed in vermillion. The other skiff was a white one. Her light sail rippled in the wind and seemed to shout assurance to her support from the side-lines. The little pennant on the top saucily challenged the scarlet pennant on the other skiff. Flash. The white was being hailed from the shore as Trixie. First a yell for red and then for the white, told more than words can express that each team had backing which would inspire them toward victory. Both sides had the kind of spirit that makes one want to battle and fight to win ! At that moment a young student with a mop of dark curly hair came racing toward the boats. At his side was a young girl. Both were dressed entirely in whi ' e. There ' s Trixie, he laughed, giving her hand an extra squeeze. ' Yes, she cried excitedly, And there ' s Flash too ! O. what a wet blanket you ate on the flannels, why don ' t you think of some- thing interesting, for instance, — the weather? .■ gain the uproar challenged curiosity as the other contestant sauntered from the crowd, and began making his way toward Flash. As the couple in whi e saw him. they raced over to him. and Bud excitedly exclaimed. Gee. Bob, you sure have one spiffy outfit, no foolin ' . It ' s hot and happy while it lasts, and that ' s exactly what I mean ! But ' course you know that it hasn ' t a chance against Trixie. Yea, but it sort of gives yours a rotten show down, doesn ' t it though? in- quired the sarcastic Bob. Aw gee. Bob. j lease let ' s not feel that way about it. Yea. Bud, ' t ' sall right for you ta talk. You ' ve got ' cher mascot a ' ready, an all. Mary went with you on ycir log. jist ' cause she thought the light ' ud bring out her dark tan skin, and a craz - marcelled black wig — O. I know that type — I love me— Piffle! Marv stifled a hot sob (if resentment, and thought, How glad I am that I am I mom FEATURES i«y going with a keen sport like Bud. He is so much more a man than Bob. Better still, though, my folks and Bud ' s are very friendly, and that must have influenced my decision. Finally the teams parted, not, unfortunately, with agreeably friendly feeling toward one another. As they neared their craft Bud said to Mary, Don ' t let that half-witted punk spoil your fun, Mary. I-I guess that he has just forgotten that he used to be my pal. The race was called, the skippers, one in red and the other in white, stood at the prow. Mary was aft. Bang! They were off. Bob ' s light red craft caught in the current and went shooting down the rapids like greased lightning. It really lived up to its name then. Close behind it came Trixie. Her square jawed captain doing his best to gain the few yards that separated the two boats. Closer he came and still closer, with the cheers of the Misty Craig students still ringing in his ears, when suddenly a turn in the river obstructed Bob ' s boat from view of the other racers. In a mo- ment a piercing shriek echoed from Flash, who was lost from view behind the shel- tered bend. Terrified, they considered what they should do. Bud put e ery ounce of his strength into reaching the bend and seeing Flash. There she was in mid-chan- nel ! Fully five minutes Bud worked against the tide and current to reach her, his inspiration being the limp figure of Bob lying as if dead on the floor of his skiff. Huge drops of prespiration rolled unheaded down Bud ' s forehead and over his cheeks. Little groans escaped from his lips as he worked unceasingly on. Suddenly the seemingly lini]) and helpless Bob s])rang to his feet. Hmp — Fooled ya ' that time, didn ' t I ? Bob hurriedly steered his boat into the rushing current and was gone. leaving the others far behind, with little chance of recovering the only too precious lost moments. Bud said nothing, but Mary knew by the hurt exjiression on his bronzed face, that many thoughts were running through his mo]) of curly dark hair that were not expressed verlially. The race ended with Bud ' s outfit fully a mile behind the other one, and Bob triumphantly carrying the prized silver cup under his arm. As Mary helped Bud tie up the skfif. Bud said, Supjjose we don ' t say any- thing to anybody about the little side-track we had today? Bob will jirobably wake up some day and ' fess up! Why, of caurse, we won ' t tell, silly. What good would it do us? Perhaps if you had been wandering over the moonlit lawns of Misyt Craig that evening, you might have overheard this conversation. Gee Bud. I ' m just— just a low down dog. Shouldn ' t have the privilege of even talking to you. — or Mary. I ' ve acted miserably and I ' m sorry, that ' s all, but it ' s well meant. Why that ' s all right old man. F orget it. Xo one in the whole college knows about it except us, and — well you know that we wouldn ' t tell. FEA 190 THE ARTISAN 30 But that ' s not the point, pal. It was jealousy — just downright jealousy, f was disappointed because Mary wouldn ' t go in Flash, and I was too proud to get another girl. ' ell, you know the rest. I saw you weren ' t far behind, and had a good chance to win, so — Gee, he almost sobbed, to think I ' d do that to a pa!. ' ith that he presented his prize to Bud and hurriedly departed. P)ud then changed hantls again and gave his silver trophy to Mary and then — but that ' s another storv ! son. ivear lieavv. T set tit YOUTH TO DEATH By Adelaide Smith m. Gliding jiast in mystic ecstacy, The days of youth so smooth and free Those happy times of mirth and joy On life ' s great sea is just a toy. We all do wish they could always last When the reign of teen ' s is suddenly past Life seems just an endless chain Binding us to the daily strain. The world rolls on with unerring accuracy But do we think what the future can be A vision of the future in its own true light Would make us stand aghast with fright ; It holds for us unthought-of things; Variety of joys and sorrows it brings But still we glide on with a hope of chance. Until we all fall defeated by death ' s lance. Ariis] Gradi FEATURES 191 HISTORY OF THE CLASSES, AND THEIR ARTISANS 13 — President, Harold Kisreens ; Artisan editor, Orlen Sis- son.

F E A T U R E S 197 SUCH IS LIFE ■l HE FIFTH GRADE was lieing hiMnired 1) - a visit from a Distinguished in jentlenian of New York. For one half an hour he had been s])eaking on the sul)ject of citizenship, and for one half hour the Fifth Grade had been in a semi-conscious state. We may succeed, he roared, or we may fail ! The Distinguished Gentleman shouted this like a challenge over the nodding heads of the Fifth Grade. He then looked around as if awaiting opposition. None came, but the sudden volume somewhat revived his unhappy audience. The lecturer ' s voice grew softer, and his gestures became playful. Such, he confided softly, is life! Don Tibbett looked up from the drawing of the lecturer that he was making on the desk top and yawned. As he did so, his eyes strayed to the desk of Marie Burbitt. That young ladv, fair as a queen with her golden hair and blue eyes, looked in his direction and thrust out her tongue. Don looked crestfallen. The shock was painful but familiar. This had oc- cured at least once a day since the nmnth that he had become acquainted with Miss Burbitt. Pie then noticed that she was engaged in the passing of small pink envel- opes to his neighbors. He was also aware of the fact that he was the only person in that vicinity who had not received one. He leaned over his seat mate ' s shoulder and discovered that they were invitations to a part - Marie was .giving the next week. He leaned back in the seat just as the lecturer bowed majestically and sank into the nearest seat amid relieved apjilause from the Fifth Grade. Miss Mitchell then assigned the class some English. The verb ' to be ' never takes an object, ' ' droned Don. Don ' t want to go to her old party anvhow ! The verb to be ' — I hate Marie I ' .urbitt — never takes an object- Aw, shucks! During the lunch hour Marie returned to the riKim for a forgotten apple. Lving in the aisle near her seat was a paj ier that she recognized as the ]-irop- erty of Alma Evans. She picked it up and placed it in Alma ' s desk. In the meantime Don had been having a very uncomfortalile lunch hour, as his friends talked of nothing but their party invitations. Don decided to return to the classroom ' and complete some homework. He entered the room just as Marie turned from Alma ' s desk and left the room. Don was astonished and wondered what Marie had been donig. The afternnon passed slowly, and the Fifth (irade sleepily studied arithmetic. Suddenly the silence was broken by a wail from Alma Evans. That young lady had all her personal belongings heajied upon her desk and was frantically searching the aisle nearby. Miss Mitchell, she wailed, my ]iencil is gone! The Fifth Grade laid down their boks and stared interestedly. They were all familiar with the jiencil Alma had bought in town a few days be fore. Some had even had the pri ilege of borrowing it for a few minutes. It was a bright red pencil 198 T H E A R T I S A N W ' 3 gorgeously bedizened with yellow and blue stripes, and it had cost ten cents where ordinary pencils cost but five. The F ' ifth Grade looked shocked. They remembered that .-Mnia had l)een using the pencil just before lunch when they had been using the special readers. Alma in- sisted she had put it in her desk. Where had it gone ? Perhaps, volunteered Elmer Samuels, the janitor took it ! Perhaps, began Don, Init his voice was drowned in the confused clamor that followed the ringing of the passing bell. I am sure that we will all look for the pencil and perhaps find it l)y tomorrow, said Miss Mitchell as she dismissed the class. As they went slowly out, there was much excited talk, and all sorts of sus- picions were lieing voiced. Don added to the clamour by accidentally stepping on Marie ' s foot. E-er-er, I beg your pardon, he said as he hastily backed away. Marie turned and glared. The Fifth Grade giggled. Keep off my foot, clumsy! she snapped. On his way home Don thought deeply. He had seen IMarie at Alma ' s desk during the lunch hour. Why had she lieen there when no one else was in the room ? Should he tell Aliss Mitchell of what he had seen? Besides the thought of duty there was the thought of revenge. What a tragic hour the haughty Marie would have when Miss Mitchell heard the news ! What would her ])arty matter then .■ ' ( )n the other hand there was the remote possibility that she had not taken it. If he told Miss Mitchell then. Marie would be placed in the position of an injured J heroine, and he would be ridiculed forever. Should he tell or shouldn ' t he? Was it 1 any of his business ? All the wav home he debated the question of telling or not telling. The ne.xt morning he was still undecided. During the geography hour he decided to tell. During the history hour he de- cided not to. During the luiglish hour he was jjreparing to tell. He was just rais- ing his hand when Marie looked in his direction and smiled. It was a delicious, ra- diant smile directed at Don ' s seat mate, but Don did not know that. He had decided once and for all not to tell. Just as he made this resolution, Aliss Mitchell started to pass out the special readers which the Fifth (iradc read every day before lunch. Teacher, look! cried several members of the F if:h Grade as they ])ointed to one of the readers she had just taken from the rack. There, l)etween the leaves of the book, was the missing pencil! The Fifth Grade began to talk excitedly, and Alma was overjoyed at the finding of her ])rec- ioiis pencil. Don Tibbett smiled rather apologetically at Marie Burbitt. That young lady looked at him and thrust otit her tongue. Don smiled wryly as he remembered a phrase of the lecturer ' s speech. Such, he remarked to no one in particular, is life!

AN ATHLETIC SAFARI By Darrv Gold 0 m HE MANUAL TRACK TEAM had won the City, Southern Cahfornia, t and State meets, and there was to he held in Chicago, on May 31st, 1925, |LrL a Xational Interscholastic Track Meet. The most efficient track men from our citv high schools were selected to go hack to Chicago. Luckily Man- ual Arts had seven men chosen to make the tri]i. Coach Sid Foster was picked by the Board of Education to act as a chaperon to all the hoys coming from Los An- geles. All was smooth sailing until the question of expense money arose. There was a great ado over this vital necessity, hut finally, through the efforts of Mrs. Hansen, head of the women ' s cluhs and Kotarian ( Jrganizations, money was raised. The group arrived in Chicago three days before the meet on a drizzly, windy day, with the thermometer at 28 below. Quite some shock to the southern lioys fam- iliar with balmy breezes and such. They were lodged at the Sigma Chi Fraternity house. An attempt at sight-seeing was made but was abandoned because of the freezing weather. The dav of the meet arrived. 154 high schools representatives from 28 states were on hand. Manual ' s delegates were Joe Watson, Lee Hansen, Paul Ennisman, Howard Williams, De Wolfe Recpia, June Han ford and Paul Borgfeldt. De Wolfe Requa was a sensation. He alread}- had an excellent record and all the Eastern newspapers were printing accounts of him and giving the boy such all around pub- licity that all the Eastern schools were outwardly jealous. On the day of the race, after winning his trial heats with ease, he was, in the final race, a whole length ahead when suddenly on the last hurdle he tripped in a niudhole, but he arose and completed the race finishing second. The boy who conquered him broke a record, showing how fast this man. De Wolfe Requa, was. It might l)e well to explain the Eastern system of holding meets. It does not consider the runner at all. Final heats are run immediately after trial runs. June Hanford ran eight 100 yard dashes consecutively. He was really so winded that he could not run his best, but in the finals he placed third. In the 880 so many boys were entered that there were four races run, each ct)unting as a final. In Hanford ' s heat 20 boy s, on the first turn, piled m from the congestion. In this race Hanford placed fourth. Lee Hansen in another heat also placed fourth. Joe Watson took third in the discus. The severe cold was a great handicap to the boys. On the day of the meet it was 28 above zero, weather to which our boys were not adapted. A few now famous athletes who jiarticipated in that meet were. John Kuck, now well known ( )lympic shotput man who placed first in every weight event ; and Lee Barnes, now world ' s pole vault record holder, who took first in this event. After the meet was over and the digits were counted Manual had won third. That night the boys were taken to a show and the next morning boarded the train for home. Previous to the meet the boys ' spirits were easily held in check but going home afterward, alio! Shoes were fired from one berth to another. Paul I ' orgfeldt attempted to slee]) in the clothes hammock, but failing in this slept with his head out the window thereby gaining a black face from the soot. 1 . 202 THE A R T I S A X V ' 3 N OH, POLLY! By Marjorie Voelkel O, YOU CANNOT have a parrot. That ' s final. But, po]ipuh, I could teach him to talk and do tricks. John W ' ilifrid Parker! I said no, and I mean no! But poppuh . Half an hour later Mr. Parker, with a look of resignation on his face, plodded glumly cityward to huy a parrot for his insistent young son. After scouring the city for several hours, Mr. Parker succeeded in purchasing a parrot supposedly dumb, and a cage to keep it in. On the way home the parrot aroused itself from its lethargy. Shiver me timbers ! Beg pardon? inquired Mr. Parker. Ship ahoy with sixteen men on a dead man ' s chest! You can imagine that this outburst from the parrot startled Mr. Parker greatly for he had been assured that the parrot couldn ' t speak a word. Mr. Parker thought aloud, and the parrot responded with a mild oath. Mr. Parker was ready to turn around and take the parrot back, but he was espied from afar by John and met with a shout of ecstacy. John, this parrot is going to stay on the back porch. He must not he l)n)ught into the house. But poppuh, Fve named him Harold and Iniilt him a jjerch in the library. Needless to say. Harold was enthroned upon the perch in the Iii)rary. The library was a large, mournful room in which Mr. Parker kept his partic- ular treasures There was a large open fire-])lace on one side of the rom ; a bay window occupied another, while the remaining sides were covered with book-cases containing many rare volumes. Harold ' s perch was placed between the fire-place and the window in the space formerly occupied by Mr. Parker ' s favorite chair.

It ' s that parrot again! (Constant association with Harold had increased Mr. Parker ' s vocabulary.) Picking up a handy boot, he descended to the library. As he opened the door he beheld the curtains afire and the walls smouldering. He dashed to the telei)hone and summoned the fire de])artment to conquer the blaze.

As a small man was pushing his way in the front he found himself blocked by a large portly woman.
