There, France, her legs strong after thtf World War recovery, is quietly and diplomatically pre- paring for the future. Tunis, Algiers, Morocco, Sudan, and the Congo — all that territory comprising the best part of Africa — is under French control. One finds splendid development of airway and land traveling facilities. France ' s African penetration makes for an empire of great potentiality in war or peace. Russia is the enigma. Her doings are strange to our ears. But perhaps the drastic moves made by the Soviet Government are only correct steps in the recon- struction program. Stalin, virtual dictator of the Soviet Union, has in his bag of dreams a vision of an independent Russia ; that is, industrially. It would seem that Russian struggles through the various Five-Year-Plans and Ten-Year-Plans would cause the people to revolt. However, the s]3irit of Communism carries the people toward Soviet aspirations. For good or for bad? Quien sabe? Modernism, in the opinion of many, fails to tie up with human ideals. It subverts. We are a world of automatons, enslaved by speed. It remains for our generation to torrect this — to effect an adjustment. We shall fitness new Mndemisms in the future — many of them. But the com- mon ■ laracSeJ-istic of tltlfin all will be this: the modernisms will go Forward ,-erJ ; T H E A R T I S A N S ' 3 1 The Cairo-Bagdad Air Mail Bv X ' ennie Abdullah HE STEADY DROVE OF AIRPLANE MOTORS over the vast Syrian deserts seem strangely out of harmony with the cultural background of these countries. But the march of civilization is steady even there. There is an airmail track between those ancient, romantic cities of Cairo and Bagdad covering S66 miles, operated by Britain. The route starts at Hinaidi, a few miles from B.agdad, Per.sia, and many ])laces of biblical significance are on the route. i amadi is the first stop after leaving the little hangar at Miniadi. South of Ramadi is a bizarre lake of strangely different qualities and colors of water. After that the dreaded desert confronts the pilot. The only oasis on the desert of Egypt deserving mention is Kasr Kharana, about 300 miles from Ramadi. It, is one of the outposts of the ancient Roman empire, standing like a sentinel on the desert. Near Ziza, the next stop, is Mt. Nebo, from which Moses viewed the promised land. Here British squadrons take that part of the mail bound for Palestine, and the Cairo-Bagdad plane continues on its way with its precious burden. Some miles out from Ziza is Jehovah ' s Rest where perhaps God rested the seventh day when He made the world. The plane finally arrives at Heliopolis after crossing the Judaean Hills, the Dead Sea Peninsula, and the Suez Canal. The probable location of the place where Lot ' s wife was turned tcj a pillar of salt is near Heliopolis, a few miles from Cairo. Usually the Stjf) miles are covered in thirteen hours. Pilots who undertake to carry mail over this route do so at greater risk of their lives than those carrying mail in many other parts of the world. The Cairo-Bagdad route is the result of many years of scientific exploration. But yet there is room for imi rovement. Large plateaus of limestone, quartz and basalt, a very hard black volcanic rock, stretch in every direction. These geo- graphical conditions have their advantages as well as their disadvantages. Fre - quently, sandstorms occur, playing havoc with the motors and increasing the hazard of l)ecoming lost. Even in fair weather the fear of becoming lost among a few quarreling Bedouin tribes is unnerving to the British pilots. Lack of water forbids many refueling stations on the desert. The British Go ernment has conceived the idea of burying huge gasoline tanks in the sands. However, these tanks are subject to the depredations of the Bedouins, who rob not for the gasoline, but for the useless metal. Summer weather does not permit carrying heavy loads, as in the winter. Since the summer temperature is about 110 degrees in the shade, selection of the wood in the construction of planes, and various instruments must be made with the utmost of care. Air mail in such comparatively slow countries as Egypt, Persia, Palestine, and Syria is but one example of the sweeijing effect of the spirit of Modernism. That spirit is forward ever, backward . . . never ! SENIORS 10 T H E A R T I S A N S • 3 1 But of what significance is all this carrying of mail over this route? Surely the monetary returns are not enticing to the British Government. The ansvi ' er is, briefly, this : Cairo and Bagdad were at one time centers of rich civilization. Those two cities are rapidly experiencing a change, which is bringing commercial returns to the English coffers. Britain has hopes, and rightfully so. Then too, the recalcitrant India has long been a thorn in Britain ' s side, and India must be watched. And what city is a better strategic point than Bagdad ? What medium is better than the airplane in keeping watch? Perhaps you are now wondering wh} ' they should carry mail in particular to accomplish these ends. An unwritten law is involved in that thought. We are modernists, but we fall back on an ancient faith. It is a faith that has withstood the most horrible of wars, plagues, and catastrophes. An example of this faith is in a letter. A message, however brief, is a sacred thing to those isolated from their loved ones. All countries recognize that fact. This unwritten law re- ferred to is that come what may, we will carry your mail. And the ancient spirit of loyalty referred to is mankind keeping faith with one another, this time through the mail, using the airplane as a medium. The Cairo-Bagdad Air Mail is an evidence of Great Britain ' s Modernism. She is gaining power by following high aspirations, fighting opposing forces in her colonial empire and at home. Britain copes with Oriental and iModernistic India. Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian leader of the peaceful resistance of the masses will yet share in Britain ' s work and responsibility in India. In Africa education is awakening the black people. They have new thoughts and aspirations. It is recognized and feared by Britain that thoughts take form in action. China ' s growth too has become a problem to England. Many banks and some cities have lived in security because of British Arms. The feeling is growing among the yellow p)eople that such holdings as these coupled with the rights of extra-ter- ritoriall} ' are drawbacks. Sun Yat Sen ' s teachings of Chinese salvation are begin- ning to bear fruit. More important than her troubles abroad are her difficulties at home. Millions are unemployed in England ; the dole does not seem to remedy matters. Lloyd George ' s Labor Party promised to ameliorate if not eliminate unemployment. Affairs are now worse, with the Labor Party holding the responsibility. Too, there are war debts to be paid. Rest assured that England will survive the crisis. Ramsey McDonald and Lloyd George are too clever to permit the result to be otherwise. It is only natural for nations to attempt an adjustment in harmony with Modernism. That is the spirit of this graduating class. As we run the gamut of vicissitudes of fortune, we shall always be struggling Forward ever, backward . . . never!

Three of the happiest and most valuable years in our lives have passed. We have made many very close friends, and together have been through happi- ness and trouble. Now we are about to separate. We take our various paths in life, make new friends, enter a new environ- ment. With the true Modernist spirit we will strive for eternal progress, solv- ing new problems, seeking new truths. Let us profit, but not be bound, by the past, and use our guide our motto. Forward ever — backward never.

Jr S ' j . confronted hy ohstacles of every sort; life that was a mixture of joy and sorrow, truly a life worth living. B TEN Fired with a Inirning desire and urge for further and advance l learning, a horde of liovs and girls entered the portals on a bright and sunn - September day in 1929. After nnich uncertainty we were tucked in our respective homerooms. As soon as we were settled we attended our first assembly where we met our Student Body President, Dave Dingle, who welcomed us to Manual and invited us to participate in all the activities that were to be found on the cani]3us. From the verv beginning oiu leaders stood out prominently. On the gridiron many of the BIO class aspired to make the team. Prominent among these were Herb Feagan, Stan Smith, Ned Jones. Not to be outdone by the boys, the girls entered into various activities scholastic and athletic. As our first term at Manual slowl y came to a close it found the scrub class taking root in the ideals and traditions of Manual. A TEN Our AlO term saw us getting into the swing of things, and we had truly become a part of Manual. In our second term, here at Manual, the class gave all its support to everything that was presented at school. As a result of their hard efforts the term before, many of the class joined the Scholarship Society. Track was well represented with such fellows as Lorry Osburn, Bill Dejan, Bud Wyatt, Joey Kleinbauer and many others participating. Our second term at Manual had finally rounded off the rough edges and we had our feet planted firmly on the rungs of the ladder of success. B ELEVEN Back we came from our vacation, ready to step into the harness to continue our next step in the Realm of Education. King Gridiron again drew our interest, and the spirit shown by the school was a characteristic of the spirit of our class. The Scholarship Society, the Junior Forum, and various other clubs were well augmented by members of our class. With the close of this term we found one of our hopes realized, that of being upper classmen. CLASS 1 1 I S T (J R V 63 A ELEVEN Entering, ' this term was like a ttmic for those whu had heconie wearied and wlio had lost interest, since we could now see from these hei,t; hts a -iew of the glorious senior year. Beginninji with this term a real class organization was huilt U]) preparator)- for our Senior year. Then came the much dreaded Senior luiglish E.x. — one of the greatest obstac- les on our ])ath to success. With that safelv passed, there came our first social event, the All |iarty with Ray Gardner and Kay Davis as host and hostess. Need it be said that the jiarty was a huge success? The cinderpath again drew its goodly toll of the class. Among the newcomers were Al Olson, Fred Uta, Sueo Saito, Herl) Feagan. and others. Final jilans were made for our Senior B term, as our foiu ' th term haijpily drew to a close. SENIOR B Back we trooped from vacation to take up mn- abode in 253, over .500 strong. As soon as all routine work was com]3leted, we turned to the election of officers. After speeches bv many capable fellows and girls, we chose Frank Mallon to guide us thru our Senior B term as ])resident, Kay Davis was our girls ' vice. Gene Kingsbury as our boys ' vice, while Johnnie Tucker took u]) the duties of secretary while our money affairs were entrustefl to Bill Miles to worry about. We next met in the And. with our rivals, the Senior A ' s, to elect our . delphic cal)inet officers, . fter the ballots had been counted we found that the insepara- bles Mary Funk and Herb Feagan, had been elected girls ' and boys ' vice, while Kenny Bright was elected nickle chaser. Finally Adelphic day arrived, and we were presented to the school in our vivid sweaters of reseta green and black. For our name we had chosen the name of Modernists, a name worthy of our ideals. We met the monster, the Civic ' s Ex., and after hours of struggling finally jiut it behind us. In rapid succession came the .Senior B Dance, Senior B Picnic, and the Sen- ior A, Senior B Reception. Then came the time to vote for our next term ' s student body officers. Stan Smith was elected S. B. O. P., Ed Johnson and Kay Davis became boys ' and girls ' vice-presidents. Miles Calvert and Lillian Marks became the self-government heads. ] Iary Funk and Herb Feaean took over the judicial mantles. Sterling Mc- Murrin became scholarship president. Student body secretary claimed Johnnie Tucker, while Joe Kleinbauer was to be our next A. B. S, President. Football was a great success and ten of the players who won their letters were Modernists. In everybody ' s opinion the Senior B term was in a great many respects a very 64 T H E A R T I S A N S ' 3 1 successful one. this term also gave promise to the school of what might be expected of us in our last term at Manual. .SENIOR A ' S ( )ur last term at Manual began with everything in tip-top shape. ithin a few days we elected our new class officers. The lucky (Mies were; Dale Lillywhite as Senior A president, Sarah Smith and Gene Kingsbury as girls ' and buys ' vice- presidents ; Ruth Schmierer as secretary, and Kenny l ' )right as treasurer. We had hardlv gotten under way when it was announced that we were to graduate in the Shrine Auditorium. Much rejoicing. Adelphic results were Bill Sass as president, Johnny Goodwin and Gwen Walton, boys ' and girls ' vice- presidents ; Billymarae Buerger, secretar)-, and Dwight F ' oundstone, treasurer. Adelphic day came, and the Baby Seniors were welcomed into the fold as full fledged Seniors. The social season brought us the Senior dance. Senior A ])icnic and the Senior A, Senior B reception. Graduation practice began in earnest and our commencement speakers were chosen. Rally dav found us wearing our class sweaters for the last time at Manual. Graduation night came and with it the final realization of our hope. ' e marched out with our diplomas, singing the traditional Kipling ' s Recessional and our Alma Mater. As we leave the halls of Manual, we hope that the classes that follow us will ])rofit liy-our successes and mistakes, for we must go Forward Ever, Backv ar l Never to make a [ilace for ourselves in the world of experience.

During the last decade, much progress has been made which will have a definite influence upon future generations. About seven years ago, the operation of air service in Germany was so developed it aroused the interest of the whole world. After the war, a dusty drill ground, on which the soldier.s trained a decade cr more ago, was changed into one of the best equipped air terminals in the world. Tempelhof is now a model airport, having been reconstructed and modernized. There are now in (iermany over fifty well equipped airports and landing fields. High obstructions are marked by red Neon lights. To aid night flyers there are lighted airways between Berlin, Danzig and Konigsberg, and for four hundred miles between Berlin and Hanover. Special freight services are operated between London, Amsterdam, Hanover, and Berlin, and between Paris, Cologne, Essen, Mulheinr, and Berlin. German airways consist practically of the Luft Hansa alone. The smaller lines have been absorbed b_v this great octopus. In 1921 the London Ultimatum prohibited German air transport companies from free competition with companies of other countries, (iermany then used the defense of closing her air routes to all foreign airplanes. Under the pressure of these political restrictions, it was possible for the Deutsche Luft Hansa to develop in such a manner that it has put Germany into leadership of commercial air transportation. An example of the express service is the Berlin to Zurich route over which fast planes fly. The non-stop flgihts are made in five hours. Short daylight hours of winter and the weather conditions do not permit long flights. The question of inT|)roving airport facilities and airways has received much attention from leading nations, esjiecially Germany. The directors have very wise- ly considered developing airlines out of Germany, naturally with the intention of building foreign trade. The larger multi-motored machines, mostly of Junkers make, have been a more paying proposition and less liable to accident. Good-will tours have been made by Zeppelins ; mail is delivered with more speed to people in all distant places. The policy of Germany has been to conserve and to develop her few industrial materials. In trade Germany has been noted for her long commercial credits and easy treatment of foreign customers. Before the war Germany was the greatest competitor of Great Britain in business. She still possesses many of the natural resources she had before the war. Good relationship between nations is the key to progress. This is what the great nations have been striving for in these last years. They are trying to overlook the past by renewing confidence in human relationships. t V ORGANIZATIONS 68 T H E A R T I S A N S • . Who Are These Modernists? If this challenge were raised anywhere about Manual Arts High ScIidoI simie five hundred members of the class of S ' 31 would answer in a chorus, We are the Modernists. I have a lingering notion that the memliers of the class did not fully realize the implications of the word Modernists. They certainly did not wish to enter into any theological controversy, as between the orthodox and the modern heterodox. It appears to me that in arraying themselves under the banner of Modernists they meant simply to hurl their utter defiance and show their vast superiority to all such classes of their fellow students as Trojans, Spartans, Romans, Cavaliers, Pirates and all other ])roducts of the dark and bygone ages. I hope that they were not so taken with modern music and the latest jazz, that they would have none of Beethoven, Mozart and Grieg, or that they were so infat- uated with the modern sijlashing of color by cubists and others that they could not endure the sight of the classic in art. If they were enamored of the swiftness of modern motion in automobile or airplane I hope that they will remember that the important thing is not how quick we get there, but wdiat we accomplish at our journey ' s end. If they are enamored of modern speech, whether in the loud speaker or in radio, I hope that they rememlier the important thing is not how fast or how loud we speak, Init what we say. Much that has been said and written in the past sur ives today after thousands of years, while most of that which is modern will perish with its own breath. It is probably an advantage of each age that its children consider themselves the most fortunate of all as they stand on the shoulders of the past. In all humility, then, let us remember that if we think ourselves quite nKjdern that sometime, by someone, we shall be considered as bygones. While exulting in the opportunity and the power of our youth let us appreciate all the past. llarkening to the words of Paul the Apostle let us Prove all things ; hold fast that which is good.

Friendships established on a broad democratic plane will become an asset as well as a bright memory in later life. To those who are privileged to remain here will come the realization of the great democratic spirit which exists at Manual. Every member of the student body is an intricate part of our organization and, as such, is necessary for our continued success in all that Manual undertakes. The best we have is none too good to give ; the most we have is not too much. Stanley Smith. O R r, .

Due to the ver} ' capable leadership of h rank Mallon, and constant help of its adviser, Mr. Hodge, much was accomplished. Featuring the social accomplishments of this term was the .Semi-Annual Dance. Other important social functions were: Track Lettcrmen ' s P)anquet, Semi- Annual Farewell Banquet, Faculty Night, and Parent ' s Night. As a result of excellent cooperation the club drew up several new amend- ments to the constitution. The most important was the new limit for the member- shi]) which was set at fifty. Several splendid opportunities are offered to the Hi-Y members. There e. - ists a strong feeling of good fellowship among the members. Advice is given, and many confidential topics are discussed at the meetings. I ' ariiamentary law is regularly ])racticed by the Hi-Y fellows in the meetings. The officers of the club were Frank Mallon, president; Ray Matthews, vice- president ; Fred Hochberg, secretary ; Ken Berry, treasurer ; Frank Showalter, sergeant-at-arms ; and Mr. Hodge, adviser. ORGANIZATION 81 yuULA Manual Knights The Manual Kni,i;hts is a student organization sponsored In ' Dr. Wilson as adviser. Its nienihcrship is comprised of students of good character and outstanding ability. The Knights are organized for the purpose of creating and maintaining a higher t_ype of school spirit, to develop) a more friendly rivalry with fither student bodies and to work in connection with the principal ' s office in anything that will be beneficial to the school. The first requisite for membership is a high type of character. The others are scholarship and leadership. A fellow does not need to possess both of these points, but must be outstanding in at least one of them. When a fellow has Ijeen voted on by the club, his name is sent to Dr. Wilson, who makes a check on his records. If Dr. Wilson thinks the fellow ' s record is one of merit, he becomes a member of the organization. I ' nder the leadership of Herb Feagan, president ; Frank Mallon, vice presi- dent ; Bill Dejan, secretary ; Lorry Oslnirn, treasurer ; and Glenn Coyle, sergeant- at-anns, the Knights have just completed one of the most successful terms in the history of the chili. 82 T H E A R T I S A N S ' 3 1 Senior Forum Durin - the lenii of Suniincr ' 31 the Senior F ' oruni ])assecl a iiKxst successful season. The memhership was .unusually large, and a great many talented speakers were among the group. At the heginning of the term, as is the custom, a gef- acquainted party was held which was very influential in estahlishing friendships between the new and old nu-nihers. The activities included debates with other schools, a declamation and an oratorical contest, many very interesting and beneficial discussions, and a mock-court trial. The term was concluded with the semi-annual Forum Banquet. At this affair the awards are presented to the winners of the various contests, speeches are made by Forum members and guests and the new officers are installed. The officers were Dale Liilywhite, president : Johnny Tucker, girls ' -vice ; Fred Hochberg, boys ' -vice ; Margaret Howard, secretar)- : and Fred Carter, treasurer; adviser, Mr. Guy C. Moore. O R G A N I Z A T I (J N 83 Latin Club Folli) viiig X ' irgil has hccn the theme of the Latin Ckib for the past two terms. In accordance with this idea the Latin department presented a pat eant in assembly; ' A ' iryil the Pro]ihet of Peace. The most interesting part of the story was taken from X ' irgil ' s best known work. The Aeneid. This successful pnuhiction was directed liy INIiss Cronkhite, the ckil) adviser, assisted l)y Miss Rutledge. Later in the term Mr. R. A. Stevens of Franklin High conducted the c ' .uli on a world tour of the ' A ' irgilian Pilgrimage, journeying from Mrgil ' s birthplace near Rome to ancient Troy and thence along the route taken by Aeneas in his search for Italy. At one of the clul) meetings, the N ' irgil class enacted a pla iet of Virgil ' s Hades. Alen who had died and men vvIkj were alive lianqueted together in the vastness of the lower world. The present officers of the club are president, Baldo Kristovich ; vice-president, Eloise Russel ; secretary, Jean Fisher ; and treasurer, illiam Kinnet. 84 THE ARTISAN S ' 31 Scholarship Society The Senior Scholarship Competition Trophy was presented to the Modernists on Adelphic Day. Scholarshij) Week was celel)rated by the ])resentation of an unusual and very successful assemlily in which the Gold Seal reci])ients made up the ijrogram. A luncheon was enjoyed by the Seal hearers following- the assembly. The Scholar- ship edition of the Weekly proved a great help in the drive to popularize scholarship at Manual. Under the direction of the caliinet at the Speaker ' s Bureau the BIO affiliation was organized with a promising start. The night meetings of the Scholarship Cab- inet were business successes as well as social, while the semi-annual luncheon, the picnic, and informal social meetings, along with the activities of the baseball and basketball teams were most interesting and entertaining. The personnel of the cabinet is: Sterling McMurrin, president: Helen Heisey, girls vice; Wiiliam Kinnett, boys ' vice; Catherine Detweiler, secretary: Oliver Frenier, treasurer; John Donley, project chairman; George Mangold, scholarship chair; Dorothy Roberts, social; Howard Woolf, ])uhlicity : Elizabeth Long, speak- ers ' bureau; Wendell Buttrey, activities: Hallie Couch, historian; and Evelyn Cross and Margaret Fleck, who form the eligibility committee.

It has been the aim of the Girls ' League Cabinet to promote a better friendship between the old and new girls at Manual, to promote a greater interest in the philanthropic and civic work of the League, and through the work, to develop strong traits of character and an understanding of human nature. The Big and Little Sister Valentine party was an enjoyable event for all who attended. The new girls were given big sisters whose duty it is to help their little sisters find their place in the activities of the school. The Ann Street Easter party l)ought much joy to the little kiddies, for whom the painted Easter eggs and well-filled baskets meant a wonderful treat. The May Day program given at the Ortbojiedic Hospital by the orthopedic committee also served to bring happiness to less fortunate children. The Girls ' Open Eorum, although still a comparatively new feature, is l ecoming a factor in aiding the girls with their various problems, concerning school and home life. It is open to any girl who is interested in open discussion. The members of the ( iirls ' League Cabinet are : Officers, j resident.

ORGANIZATION 95 96 T H E A R T I S A N S ' 3 1 Modern Italy I By Clinton W att TALY. tlic scene of ancient splendor and world supremacy, makes a strong l)i(l today to regain her former glory. Political observers believe Benito Mussolini will again lead the Italian people to the rank of first class power bv modernistic methods and ingenious leadership. The principle of government in Italy is Fascism, a system developed in 1923 by Mussolini; a dictatorship that will require time to iirove its ultimate success. The youth of Italy are sent to Fascisti schools to lie instructed in the principles of Fascism, which deals with the distribution of money and a different social and political status which requires that every able man perform his share of the work of the land and become physically fit and skilled in military training as a national defense measure. Every effort is made in. Italy ' s institutions to instil a greater sense of patriotism in the youth of the nation and weld them into a pliable unit of Fascisti fraternalism. Fascisti methods have penetrated the rural life of pleasure loving, though hard working, Italy, and the iron hand of the Duce is seen directing and enforcing the new national thought and economic progress along modernistic lines. The peasants retain their iuaint customs of dress and mannerisms; their festi- vals, simple folklife, and old superstitions, but through it all rises the devotion to their new fonn of government. In the cities and larger towns, manufacturing industries and all forms of commercial enterprise have been placed on a new economic basis. Foreign com- petition has been banned where it might stifle home production, and Italy is hopeful of gaining greater economic prestige. Transportation by air in Italy is on a par with leading nations of Europe. Subsidized lines, supplied with modern equipment, facilitate communication with her island possessions, Sicily and Sardinia, as well as to her territorial mandates in Africa. Italy ' s army and naval air force, probably second only to France, recently achieved a proud feat by crossing the Atlantic Ocean with ten huge planes, starting from Italian waters and landing in South America. Air transportation in Italy is cheap and efficient, lending mobility to her rapid- ly increasing population, leveling the barriers of the Alps and affording quick and delightful tourists ' routes between beautiful modern cities and many ancient places. The most difficult jiroblem that confronts Italy is the large number of people who depend upon maintenance within the small confinement of her boundaries. It is believed by many students that Mussolini will be forced to execute a plan of aggrandizement. That as Napoleon said, Beyond the -Mps lies Italy so will the Duce say Beyond the Alps lies a rich country upon which Italian homes will be reared. But this modern dictator does not want war. and it is to be hoped that Italy ' s possessions in Africa will yield to scientific treatment and offer ample room to modern Italy and the great modernistic Italian Empire of the future. STORY AND VERSE 98 T H E A R T I S A X S ' 3 1 A Short Biography of Admiral Byrd By Ruth Bellman r N FUTURE YEARS WHEN I CAST MY EYES upon the Arctic or RIII Antarctic history. T will always rememher the important and interesting part - S „,y Dad played in all expeditions from Commander R. E. Peary to Rear Admiral R. E. Byrd, and it is due to his intense interest that I have heen so richly endowed with information and personal contact with Rear Admiral R. E. Byrd. All following data is taken from Dad ' s files, or incidents which I recall. I quote a letter recently received by my father. Byrd Antarctic Expedition Dublin, New Hampshire July 31, 1930 Mr. John Bellman Los Angeles, California My Dear Mr. Bellman: I greatly ajjpreciate the telegram you sent from Los Angeles, and thank you for your continued interest in our expedition. So much correspondence has accumulated since our return that this is the first chance 1 have had to answer some of it, and this is the reason for the long delay of acknowledgment. On our return from the Antarctic I want to thank you again for the cooperation you gave us in the difficult work of preiiaration. The wire-bound food boxes held up in good shape and were used as we had anticipated in the building of side walls for tunnels and storerooms at Little America. It was a novel idea to pack in them letters from relatives and friends. These being found at intervals were most welcome and helped to break the monotony of the long winter night. With renewed thanks and best wishes. Very sincerely yours, R. E. Byrd Richard Evelvn Byrd was horn in Winchester. X ' irginia. October 25, 1888. When 12 years old he went on a voyage around the world in a British tramp schooner. Upon his return home he entered the Shenandoah ' alley Military Institute, and later attended the Virginia Military Academy at Lexington, Virginia, and the University of Virginia. He graduated from the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland, in 1912. S T U R Y A N D VERSE 99 I le married Marie D. Ames, of Boston, Mass., January 20, 19LS. They iiave three fine daughters and a son, Richard, Jr. While he was still a jun- ior officer, in lyif), Byrd stepped on a nail and the resulting infection has giv- vu him a permanently stiff foot. (Jn that account he was retired from active service, although he con- tinued to perform the act- ual duties of an active of- ficer. He was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Conimander in 1922, and in 1927 as commander, dating from May 9, 1 ' ' 2 ' ), at which lime he made his flight over the North Pole. I- ' inally, in recogniti(.)n of his trip to the South Pole in 1929, he was raised to the rank of Rear Admiral. lime, 1 ' ' 25, l.ieiilenant Connnander ] ' i ' rd re].)resentin,g the United States Navy, accompanied Dona ' d P. MacMillan (jn liis North Pole ex])edition. It was on this lri|) that Bvrd hecame act|uainted with Floyd Bennett, afterwards his pilot on various perilous tri])s. May 9, 1920. found Byrd and Bennett at Kings Bay, Spitzbergen, ready to fl) ' over the North Pole in a tri-motored Fokker. After ei.ght hours of steady flying they looked d(.iwn upon the Xorth Pole, the first time from an airplane. On June 29, 1927, Commander Byrd accompanied liy three daring aviators took off from Roosexelt Field, Long Island, for Paris, P ' ranee. After a most hectic trip, he was fcjrced down on account of fog and rain at Ver-Sur-Mer, France, about 125 miles from Paris. 1 remember distinctly visiting the thing field with Dad, and meeting Com- mander Byrd, a most kindly and lovable man, also at that time, the flying fool, Lindbergh, wdio was at the other field prejiaring for his historical trip across the Atlantic. ( )n Octtfljer 11, 1928, Byrd sailed from San Pedro, California, bound for Dunedin, New Zealand, on the second leg of his South Pole trip. The cost of this expedition was about one million dollars, obtained in dona- tic ms from the American public, although at this writing about $100,000 is still uniiaid. Rear Admiral Byrd is on a lecture trip for proceeds to pay this debt. I believe when this is paid we shall hear again of another trip to some iinex- ] lored part of the world, by this intrepid and fearless leader. 100 T H E A R T I S A N S ' 3 1 The expedition spent a year in the Antartic, hut was equipped to stay for three years. All supplies were carefully studied before being included. It would take many pages to discuss the problems, but as evidence of careful preparation, the most precious satisfaction to Byrd was, that all the men returned without accident and in good health. Radio furnished communicatiiin at all times, under all conditions — airjilanes made 100 to 150 miles per hoiu , and dog sleds fifteen miles a day, even in extreme low temperatures of sixty to seventy-three degrees below zero. More than 170,000 square miles of unknown territory were ])hotogra])hed, scores of mountains and ranges were discovered and charted for the first time, meteorological olxservations which will effect three continents were made. With this important C(_)ntril)Ution, people still ask why men spend weary months in seeking more secrets? The answer to these questions is simple: Men do these thiin s bccaKSC they arc men: heeause in the iinknoicn lies a ceaseless ehallenfie to men ' s curiosity: because men ' s curiosity seems bouiuUess. IVIiilc anything is to be learned of this earth of ours, of its form, its Iiistory, its strange forces, men will be found zvho zvill not rest until that knozvledge is com- plete. I was deeply impressed with the interest Byrd showed in the youth of America especiallv the Boy Scout. Paul Siple, who was on this trip. I know Admiral Byrd is ' deeply grateful for the interest in the Antartic ex- pedition shown by students in schools and colleges throughout the country. If my readers had the pleasure of seeing the moving picture, With Byrd at the South Pole, he will recall the grocery store in the long tunnels, also the boxes in which all goods were packed. These cases were the walls. On each end of the boxes the contents were stenciled, goods were drawn out, but the house always remained intact. The idea was conceived by my Dad after thirty years of exper- ience. Also, in each box a letter from each member ' s loved ones at home was placed. In this manner mail was almost delivered daily. (Note what Byrd said about this novel idea.) This was a part of the human element Dad put into this expedition. I have written this story without my father ' s knowledge, but from his many priceless days and nights of hard work, covering thirty years, I have gathered the spirit of love for that most interesting subject of geography and history. In conclusion I might state, Dad is writing a book entitled Where the Needle Points on the Compass, which means to him in his profession, that expeditions can ' t go anywhere, without food. S T O R Y A N I ) I- R S E 101 Speed—Good or Bad By Vennie Abdullah (iritli (if oloi irs to Colonel Liiidbciy li and WiUhun James.) iHE FOLL(J ' ING ESSAY in dialogue form is imagined l)y the writer to have passed between a typical Modernist, CoUjuel Lindbergh, and William James, one of the old school. The latter was the great American psychol- ogist. James : Listen to this newspaper article, Colonel. ' Leo Whitaker, head of the nationwide Electrical Products Company, took the lives of his children and then committed suicide late today. ' Do you know why he did it? No? I think it is a common catastrophe springing from this age of speed. It is pitiful how speed has affected the life of tiie American people. Lindbergh: Pitiful? Think how enriched the life of the banal laborer is made as a consequence of speed. James: Is that really your opinion of speed? Lindbergh: It is. I should have dreaded to live in the age of the horse and buggy, when airplanes, radio, a nd speed were dreams. Life then was so dull and shallow. Just last night I was thinking that the man who dies now at 58 has figuratively lived 580 years. James: From what do you draw that last conclusion? Lindbergh : )ur fathers rode to town at fifteen miles an hour, ' e now make business trips in airplanes at 150 miles an hour, and think nothing of it. This speed is ten times as fast as our fathers traveled. Traveling ten times as fast takes us ten times as far. Do you agree with me thus far? James : Yes. Lindbergh: If we travel ten times as far, we see ten times as nuich as (jur fathers did. Figuratively, we have lived ten times as long as our father. A man dying at 58, you see, has lived 580 years. James: But one doesn ' t see ten times as much going at 150 miles an hour. The beautiful poplar or chestnut tree liecomes only a tree when one whizzes by. .Since we don ' t see ten times as much, we have not lived a nniltiple of time. I doubt that the man who dies at 58 has lived 58 years. You kn(jw yourself. Colonel, that the art of living is no more. I doubt that the Modernist derives as much jny from life as his father did. Lindbergh: Exjjlain yourself. James: You must admit that we have outgrown the old ideas that ' naught should be done with haste except the swatting of a flea. Everything must have speed. That is the echo of the age — speed. The Modernist is a slave of the clock. My friend, 1 sometimes enjoy a hearty laugh at science. Modern Science persists in teaching us how to lengthen mu ' lives by diet and sunshine; then 10 2 THE ARTISAN S ' 3 1 science destroys us with speed — inventions of speed that impair our nervous systems. _ _ xJil Lindbergh: May I ask what inventions of speed you refer to? James: Alhision is made to none other than your beloved air])lane, auto- mobile, motorcycle — in fact, any invention that smacks of speed, he it in the home or shop; for pleasure or for labor. Lindbergh: I don ' t quite get your point, and I am beginning to think you are old-fashioned. James: Listen! People say they think better when whirling at 60 miles an hour, this whip and clash of the city is so stimulating they screech. The man at his country home hastens to the metropolis; he says it Ijreeds high powered ideas. If it does, I feel sorry for him, poor thing. For all this noise affects the nervous system. ' We don ' t even hear the noise, my stenographers yell. Well. I tell them that their ears may not hear it but their minds do — and suffer. Lindbergh : Must I remind you, James, that you stated in your last book that the mind is amazingly adaptable to these miracles of noise and speed. James : True, I did. Rut while the mind becomes easily adapted, the body is still subject to the slow laws of evolution. Speed, with its noise and bustle takes a toll on the body. And — Lindbergh : Such bustle and hurry lasts but a short while. At home the Mod- ernist is at ease and at rest. Speed gets him home i|uicker to his radio. James : The fact that the Modernist has a radio, automobile and an ui)-to-date home should put an end to his hurry — while he is at home, at least. Sad to say, it doesn ' t. After a day of speed at the office the Modernist speeds home in his automobile. He violates the traffic signals and unnecessarily risks his life — to save time. When he arrives home there is a hectic scramlile for the can-opener. Mem- Ijers of his family straggle off from the dinner table one at a time to seek speedy amusement. Then the old man ' himself, as his offspring dub him, ' puts on the ritz ' at the club. Why ? Because he is afraid he is being slow ; he must not drop out of this fast scramble for life. This sort of thing is kept up at least four times a week. The Modernist spends Sunday on his back, reading the comic section and recuperating. Lindbergh : One cannot help that, James. Speed, accuracy, and mass produc- tion demand such a toll of one. James : Yes, and what a pity. I, however, would rather be the Englishman who closes his shop for afternoon tea. spending an hour in restful repast; I would rather be the Austrian who stojis amid his plowing to pluck a flower and to decorate his horse: I would rather see the stars, speak with the birds, and rest in God ' s embrace ; in short, I would rather live, not merely exist. The old-timers really lived. They enjoyed life, and we don ' t. When one en- joys, one lives. So you see the Modernist really lives Init half as long as his father. I said lives, not exists. Lindbergh: Hnimmni. Speed — Good or bad? I wonder. STORY A Xn K RSE 103 Stranger Things By Marian Dix R l-: SIGHED AS HE SAT BEFORE the open hearth, Life is death. It Olffllti ' - ' ?

I ' erhajis he had read it while in school or his little mother niav have dro])])ed it fearfully at the Sunda} ' dinner talile; hut certainly it was there in his mind, finely chisled on his brain, Life is death. He dropped his massixe. tawn - head upon his arms and great dry sobs shook his l)ig frame. The room was cold and dark, even though the hearth was piled high and readv for lighting. The man in the low arm chair swayed a bit as he gave away to the i.)ent up emotions he had held under control for so long. He was dressed in a straight black suit which severely outlined his heavy shoulders heaving in the agony of sorrow. Before his eyes, all that he had built for life had crashed in one swift moment. Marv was gone, and full realization of the fact struck his grief-numbed l)rain in all its strength. Mary was dead, buried, gone. Through the long weeks of suffering, he had praved and said ; But she can ' t die. She is too good, too young. My needs for her are too great. The extended list of his successes had made him certain that there could be no failure now that he had reached the top. All that could have been done for his young wife was feverishly executed. His slogan hatl been, Spare no money. Just save her life. That ' s all that counts. Don ' t try to bring a baby through. It ' s too dangerous. We must save her. lie had been too sure of himself ; too sure of his God. Now he sat alone in darkness after the funeral ; alone in darkness. The little old church had been all flowers and music and unspoken sympathy ; quiet service and modest wreaths, just as she would have wished. But people had been there — people. Curious, kind, eager to help ; sympathetic, tear-streaked, sorry faces. People. Now he had escaped them. He was alone. He could see her in the white satin casket, as though she were sleeping ; tumbled masses of golden glinting silk, tiny little figure, soft, white hands. But, life had fled; her warm young body w as a cold, stifif corpse. The passionate pulsations of life had ceased, the flame was snuffed out. The word flame struck a chord in his being, he was slightly roused, he shivered with chill. He rose put on the light and kneeled before the fire place. He nioved as one in a dream ; he was stunned and dazed and scarcely realized what he did. He contemplated the hearth for many moments ; cold black boards, dry and sombre, piled upon one another — dead. ( )ne day they had sheathed a living thing, a tree, standing voung and strong, laughing with verdant arms outflung, in ecstasy of creation. They harl trembled and sighed with early evening breezes and had breathed strange secrets into the hea v twilight air. Xow, cadaverous bits that seemed to creak in mournful chorus as he bent to touch the lighted match to them; grating a dismal elegy. He stared, fascinated, as slowly a tiny finger sucked about the edge of one, gradually mounting to another, then, faster and faster till a mighty blaze consumed the entire pile. He had to draw away from the intense heat. The tongues 104 T H E A R T I S A X S ' 3 1 of flame leaped and danced, casting strange shadows on the wall and playing warm lights in the ceiling. Living corpses, flaming, dancing death ; re-incarnation. Life is death, he gasped. Why. death — death must be life ! New life from liits of dead body — new spirit from old shell ! He seemed to sense Mary ' s presence, somehow felt her strength enveloping him ; she who had leaned upon his young body for support, but had lifted his heart and mind to the heavens. Strong soul, Mary; magnificent. There was something in the golden-purple fire that was reminiscent of her fierce strife for the heights; some- thing in the heavy heat suggested her long battle for life and light ; her golden hair, deep violet eyes. And then he knew she was present ! Incredi1)le, l.)ut true. She was with him, there in that room. She had not gone except in body, in the wasted shell of her spirit. As the bark of the tree threw the glow of life out on the cold, dark room, so he felt the living nearness of her. knew as unmistakably as the world whirled that she had not gone away. Death is life, rang in his ears. A quiet, subdued man came down to dinner. The people gas])ed and mur- mured, but he was surely all there. He ate and smiled and talked with the rest, and, as he left the room, he whisjiered ; I ' m glad I faced ' em again, Mary. Thanks for coming. I couldn ' t have made it — all alone. A Cloud Vision By Manila Smith Have you ever seen the clouds on a bright, cool day. And the pictures that form and swiftly fade away? Once in the clouds I saw a peaceful flock of sheep ; A shepherd watching o ' er his snow white keep. Oh ! ' Twas such a wondrous sight As it faded in the light. That I wish twill come again, for you to see ; The guarding shepherd with his flock, as they were seen by me. STORY A N I) ' ERSE 105 Melody Lunch Club Bv SllU ' MAN BlEHI.liR HE MELODY AND STEAK LUNCH CLUB believes it name. It is sit- Uk uated in that part of London which has become infamous for its unending streams of social outcasts. London cherishes this club. London cherishes the whole district. What would London be without its Whitechajjel ? Where would foreign tourists go. with no Whiti-cliapel district, no Melody and Steak Lunch Club? One could hardly be expected to attend London ' s night clubs ; night clubs are common and have no glam- our. The more adventurous could never bear more than a week of art galleries. Thus it is that London ' s glamour comes, not from her night clubs, not from her galleries, but from her Whitechapel in general, and the Melody and Steak Lunch Club in particular. The club of which I speak is sur- rounded on three sides by buildings, or shacks, as old and decrepit- looking as itself; the fourth side, or front, look out, and has looked out for as long as the oldest retired sea- dog can remember, upon the dirtiest, slipperiest, most abominably odorous street, or mud-puddle in existence. None deny this as being a fact, who have visited Whitechapel in general, and the Melody and Steak Club in particular. They know, and knowing, they advise prospective London visitors to avoid Whitechapel, thus ofTering the most alluring arguments to the spell- bound listener, as to why he should not, under any circumstances, miss ' hitechapel. For such is the nature of human beings that the ugliest often seems the most desir- able and the most trivial, important in the extreme. As has been noted before, my Club belies its name. No liand, no orchestra, nay — not even so much as the meanest of phonographs will come into evidence as one enters the main hall of the Melody and Steak Lunch Club. One wonders whv this obvious violation of strict British custom is allowed to go unchallenged. Who ever heard of a place where Britishers gathered with not the slightest evidence of a melody nor even a trace of a tune? My question is undoubtedly out of place. There is no possible answer to such an unheard of query — yet, there stands the Lunch Club, it is undoubtedly in existence — there in Whitechapel, with no sounds more musical than the tjccasional grunting of the old sow which is kept in solitary confinement in what was once the coffee bin. nursing day-in and day-out, the wounds of the childless mother whcise flock has been taken awav, one by one, in 106 T H E A R T I S A N S ' 3 1 order to grace the table of some fat adventure loving tourist who must needs taste the far famed fare of the Melody and Steak Lunch Club. As one enters the rickety doorway of this famous club, one pauses for a moment to gaze at and decipher the well-nigh invisilile lettering borne by the worn-looking placard hung upon a rusty iron tripod at the right side of the door- way. Here, for the first and only time during your stay in Whitechapel, do you have a feeling of the utter soul fulness of a signl oard. This statement is, I must admit, purely hypothetical, it being based upon the as yet unproved and there- fore unstable theory that all things have souls. This feeling is immediately discarded in favor of one of extreme disgust upon entering what has been called the main dining-hall, but what might better have been labeled, the pig ' s den, or the den of s])iders, or the haunts of dust, or any one of a numlier of different epithets which, I have been told, have come from lips of a surprised, select clientele. The roof is low-hanging; great wooden beams which I should think would be a burden on the ceiling rather than a support, project themselves into the direct line of vision no matter which way one turns. A sort of mental stupor follows immediately upon the footsteps of the sense of disgust, and it is with some doubt as to whether anyone else is within earshot, other than he or she whom you have brought with you, that you raise your voice in a request for service. Thereupon, either an old, old man, or an old, old. old woman makes his or her appearance, and directs you to one of the benches which serve as tables, the while, raising such a multitude of dust particles, that it is with the greatest of difficulty that you are able to keep from lietraying your breeding with a sneeze. He or she prepares a table for as many as your party contains, shows you to your places at table, i)rovides one menu fur the whole party, and departs for such places as he or she feels is the fittest place to go. One never sees them leave, this man and his wife; one just liecomes aware of their absence. If the Melody and Steak Club, which, liy the way, is always open from 1 1 A.M. to 1 P.M. (it used to be open at night, but so many ladies fell off the balcony on account of fright, thereby breaking their pretty necks, that it was considered advisable to discontinue night service) — If, as I was saying, the Melody and Steak Lunch Club is behind the times in architecture and sanitation, it more than makes up for such deficiencies in ultra-modernity and in price. It has long been considered one of the mo.st lucrative establishments in London, and it does not take long for the average American or French tourist to discover diverse reasons for such a reputation. It has long been rumored that Morrison Woodbine, who inherited the estalilishment from his grandfather, who is said to have made the place what it is today, minus the cover charge which is one of the modern added conveniences, is able to live in one of the most pojuilar London suburbs solely on the receipts from this one slip-shod, cob-web infested shack which would be better off if it burned up together with the rest of the Whitechapel district. But then London reveres this place as it reveres Westminister, and who is to gainsay London ? S T (J R Y AND E R S E 107 The Legend of the Virgin of Guadalupe Bn ' Alicia Perches !•:( Jl ' Ll ' , HAVE SAID MANY TIMES that nearly every street and cliuich in Mexico has an interesting or amusing legend. ( )ne of the first ones which 1 reniemher having heard of was of the X ' irgin of ( iuadalu])e. Hundreds of years ago, as you all know, Mexico was con(|uered by the Spaniards. The Spaniards were very religious, and after the conquest was over, finding that the Indians inhal)iting Mexico were without religion of any sort, they sent for a number of Sjianish missionaries to come to Mexico and instruct the Indians in the beliefs of (lod. The Indians, although they were very ignorant at first because they had had no education at all, responded immediately to the teach- ings of the priests and very soon became, if jiossible. more religious that the Span- iards. Among the many Indians wIkj received religious instruction at the Mission there was a very poor young man by the name of Juan Diego who was very devoted to the Virgin of Guadalu])e. Every day. on his way to the Mission, he had to cross a very lonely, arid mountain. ( )ne da ' he was very much surprised to see a lovely lady api)ear Ijefore him. She was the most beautiful vision that he had ever seen and he was overcome with wonder and surprise. The beautiful lady, who was in reality the Virgin of Guadalupe, told him that she wanted him to tell the priests at the Mission that Virgin had appeared before him and that she had said that she wanted a church built in her honor because she loved the Mexican people and wished to Ijecome their patroness. Juan Diego told the priests what had happened to him, but of course they did not believe him. Finally he insisted so much that he was taken to the -Mexican Bishop. The Bishop also told him that they could not believe him until he showed them some proof of what he said. The next day the Virgin appeared to Juan again and he told her what the Bishop had said. The Virgin then looked at the dry mountain and by raising a hand, hundreds of roses suddenly appeared around them. Following the Virgin ' s directions, Juan picked as many roses as he could carry in his sarape or blanket and took them to the Bishop. The Bishop and his attendants were very surprised when Juan told them how the roses had appeared on the mountain. Their sur- prise was .still greater when Juan opened his blanket on which he carried the roses and they saw that the image of the Virgin was stamped in the old. worn blanket. Realizing that a miracle had happened, a collection was taken throughout Mexico in order that everyone might contribute something toward liuilding the church of their loved patroness. The church which was built in her honor is one of the most beautiful in America and the blanket on which her image was stamped holds the jjlace of honor there. Hundreds of people have examined the blanket but they haven ' t been able to find a solution to the mystery of how it was stamped. Every ) ' ear. on the twentieth of December, which is the ' irgin ' s day. thou- sands of Indians from all i)arts of Mexico form a sort of ])ilgrimage to visit the church and spend the day there. 108 THE A R T I S A X S ' 3 1 Sandy Bowers Bv Thayer W ' estlake ES SANDY BOWERS LIKED TO THINK of himself as one of the « original locators of the Comstock Lode. -- ' He wasn ' t though. The most original of the ' ' original, were two lirothers, Allen and Hosea Grosh. Miile seeking capital for devolopment, Hosea drove a pick through his foot and died of Wood poisoning, and Allen froze to death trying to cross the Sierra in wintei. .•ffls- -- There were two other groups of originals before Sandy came on the scene. One of these was a grou]) of prospectors who discovered gold on what was later known as (lold Hill. The other was comjiosed of four men, O ' Riley, McLaughin, Pan- cake Comstock. and Old Vir- ginia. O ' Riley antl McLaughlin while cleaning out a spring discov- ered the world famous Ophir. While they were working, along came Pancake Com.stock, known as Pancake because he was too shift- less to make bread, and Old ' irginia who was supposed to have bought a tenth interest from Comstock. Soon they were taking out between five hundred and a th(jusand dollars a day, and throwing away several times that amount in silver. They did not recog- nize the silver, but cursed, the black stuff that clogged their rifles. Someone finally carried some of the ore several hundred miles to a California assayer, who found it carried nearly five thousand dollars to the ton in silver. This started a stampede which had a far reaching effect on the United States. First it gave Nevada sufficient population to become a state, and then cast the deciding vote against slavery ; second its flood of gold and silver not onh ' financed the civil war, but enabled the Federal Banks to resume the ])ayment of specie. Comstock and Old X ' irginia were shiftless characters who, while their partners were working, went into town and talked and drank with the newcomers. Sandy was among those who listened to Pancake while he told how he dis- covered the famous Comstock Mine. Comstock talked so long and loud about the subject that finally the whole lode, some four miles long and about three thousand feet wide at its widest part, was known as Comstock Lode. Sandy, now the owner of ten feet or one-hundredth of a claim, boarded at Lilly Orram ' s boarding house. Lilly was a Scotch lassie who had come to America as the wife of a Mormon bishop. She divorced him to marry the common. STORYANDVERSE 109 or garden variety, of tlie Latter Day Saints. He was no better so she divorced him and found solace and recreation in running a hoarding house in the booming town. One day, in lieu of a unpaid board bill, she accepted ten feet on the same claim as Sandy ' s. . ftcr a while they decided to get spliced and pool their resources. As the prodiicticm i.if the mint ' s grew, a new crop of millionaires sprang up. Sand had fur daily companions such men as .MacKay, who later founded the American Telegraph and Cable Co.. and George TIearst, the father of William Randolph Hearst, Sutro who founded .Sutro Heights, in San Francisco, and Flood and Fair, all l;iter jirominent in h ' risco society. Besides the se millionaires he also had the company of gamblers and other riff-raff that goes to make up a ' mining cam]i. Sandy and his fellow millionaires were too busy arranging their finances to name the town. When they got around to christen it they found they were too late. ( )Id Virginia had beat them to it for one day while X ' irginia was vyalking down the street in a ])eriodic drunk he stumbled, fell, and smashed the whiskey bottle he was carrying in his hand. With drunken gravity he announced to the world at large. I hereby christen thee Virginia City. uch as ainst the wishes of .Sandy the name stuck. Sandy and lully, now that their claim was fully deyeloi)ed. found themselves rich beyond their wildest dreams. True to tradition, in the face of sudden w ealth, they started on an orgy of spending. First they Imilt a mansion at a cost of $400,000. Next they went to Yurrup to buy the furniture. While they were there they planned to visit all of the crowned heads starting with Queen Victoria. The Queen must have been dated up a long time in advance for the Bowers were in Europe about three years and they failed to crash the gates to Buckingham palace. Shortly after their return Sandy passed on — the only one of the originals to ca.sh in with cash on hand. He had to die quick though for a short time after his death Eilly lost all of her possessions, due to the mines petering out. The work at the mine was rushed, to get out as much ore as possible in as short a time as possible. This created enormous waste. Eilly was finally forced to tell fortunes in Frisco for a living. Her mansion was turned into a health resort. The owner planned to have Eilly as hostess but she died before the plans were completed. In all of its active period the Comstock produced some four hundred million dollars, according to government figures. According to tradition however some seven hundred and fifty million were taken out. Sandy would hardly recognize the old town now. Instead of a population of some thirty thousand, the town has about three hundred. Its ' streets are almost deserted. There is no hotel although two have been built since the one in Sandy ' s time. No games of chance are played and all but one of the saloons are closed. However he would be cheered by the words of Charley Ching, the proprietor of the only restaurant now running. Bye an bve get better. Virginia City all time like dat. Sometime no man work. B e an bye plenty peoples all work. I see plenty times. I come here 76, go way Slam Flisco. All times come back.

He was a pug-nosed sandy-haired Httle ruffian with a demoniac brain, and mv first day at the Oakdale grannnar school he challenged me to fight. I accepted. During the fray he lost his lunch-money, and at noon I treated him to a hot-dog and a piece of pie. We have Ijeen pals ever since. Immediately fttllowing our graduation from jun- i o r high school, Babe moved to Oregon, wit- ness my tears. 1 Ic lives on a small farm near Blue Lick, on the edge of a stretch o f lieautiful timber country, h a c h summer I visit him, and we spend two glorious months in the open, so that when school com- mences I ' m as brown as a nut and feel like a viking. We had (|uite a time last summer, roaming through the timlier country and making our own trails in our (|uest for game. We must have covered five hundred miles during our outing. As the month of August came swiftly to a close we headed for old MacFarlane Lodge, a hack-woods summer resort which I re- member as a dismal, uninviting tavern that offered bad food and jierfectly ghastlv sleeping accommodations to the unsuspecting strangers who ventured that far. The niion of August 2Sth found us at the head of Indian Creek, a mile from the lodge. We pushed on, postponing our midday meal until we reached the lodge, and were fording the creek about half mile lielow the resort when the drone of an engine attracted my attention. With each passing second its voUime increased, swelling to a booming thunder, and all at once a silver plane went hurtling past above our heads, not twenty feet above the trees. Good Lord! I yelled. He ' s forced down! He ' s cracking up! Babe grinned and prodded me with the luitt of his hand-axe as a signal to move on. S T O R Y A N I) V E R S E 111 He hasn ' t cracked up vet, he laughed, and lie ' s had plenty of chances. That ' s Bo Duncan, carrying guests and supi)lies from Crocker up to the lodge. To the lodge? What? Do they have air service? Say! You woul(hi ' t know the ])lace! It looks Hkc Versailles. Swell grub, waiters in tuxedos, antl heds like something out of a sultan ' s bedroom. No kidding, MacFarlane is making more money than Al Cai one, and he doesn ' t need tough guys and machine gunners to get it for him. Can you imagine? I murmured. How ' d it happen? The last thing I ' d e.xpect old Mac to do would be to spend money on the place. C)h. it was Bo Duncan that did it, he answered. Bo drifted into Crocker one day with a ]Mlot ' s license and a lot of ideas, but no money. Mac gave him the job of running the old bus they used to take supplies and innocent tourists to the lodge. Bo always told Mac that if he ' d trans])ort his guests by jilane he could lure more ])eo]ile to the lodge. By bus it ' s a forty mile ride, and I ' d rather go through a clothes wringer than ride that road. It amounts to the same, but the wringer does a faster joli. Well, old Mac wouldn ' t have anything to do with aviation, and it would take a few million dollars to fix that road. Mac was dead set against aviation, ever since his son, Tom took it up and nearly killed himself at it. But Bo wasn ' t happy unless he was cloud climbing, so he bought an old ' jenny ' and in his spare time he would fly all over the timber country. Mac was coming frcjm Crocker one day, driving the bus himself, and just as he reached the Little Brave Creek a couple of tramjis stojiped him and proceeded to rob him of all he had. Mac, though, loved money too much not to resist, and when the tramps weren ' t watching him closely grabbed a wrench and beat one of the trainps over the head, all liut killing him. Mac whirled to meet the other, but wasn ' t quick enough, and before long he was lashed to a tree and his captors, a bit peeved at his attitude, were jireparing to give him a good clubbing. Just then Bo came along in his airjilane, and he was drunk as a duke. He ' d found some of Mac ' s rye whiskey and had drunk enough to blow the dome off the CajMtol. He had his plane bucking like a cow-horse, and his landing gear was almost scraping the tree-tops. He thought that he was still in the war and straffing a hid- den battery. He had an army pistol in his hand and was leaning over the edge of the cock pit, blazing away at the trees, while his plane flew itself. As he spotted the bus he fanned his gmi at it, and bullets flew everywhere. The tramps vanished like scared rabbits, and Mac imtied his lashings while Bo and his plane leap-frogged the trees as far as Jack Point, where he came down on the Little Brave bridge. Well, Alac swore by the moon that aviation had saved his skin, and two months later Bo began to operate a cabin plane from Crocker to the lodge. Mac began to make so much money that he finally had the lodge rebuilt. Can you imagine ? I murnnired a second time. You ' ll have to imagine, grinned Babe. I never heard of a Bo Duncan. Old Mac never let his son Tom fool with aviation as long as he was alive, but he died eight months ago and Tom changed everything. There ' s the lodge ahead, and the landing field. Isn ' t that plane a beauty? 112 THEARTISANS ' 31 My Trip to America By Cynthia Johnston DECREE HAD GONE FORTH in the family circle council that T leave my beautiful island home and cross the Pacific to America to finish m - education there. )n June 26. 1926. I boarded the naval ship, Chaumont. and set sail for the distant port. There was congenial company on the ship, which makes ocean travel pleasant. On the passenger list there were naval officers and their families and several U. S. Senators who were returning home from an official visit to Guam to look into the affairs of the naval station. We stood on deck watching the shores of the island recede in the distance. Tears filled my eyes and a lump rose in my throat as it became a speck in the horizon, for I realized it would be many months before I could see my native land again. It made me feel alone and forsaken, for I did not know what the future held in store for a lonely girl in a strange, untried world. On the fifth day out. we sighted the Philippine Islands and in the evening we docked at Manila, the capital city. We were to be at anchor there for ten days. When we went ashore, I met quite a number of naval officers, some of whom were old friends of my familv. They took me around the city and introduced me to the .social side of it. making my visit enjoyalile. Maifila has become Americanized since the American occupation. The sho]is and i)ublic buildings are similar to ones here so it was not (|uite so interesting as it might otherwise have lieen. The ten days stop soon passed and we were on the way again, this time to Shanghai. China. The voyage was rough. For four days, I went into retreat in my state room until land was sighted once more. The Chaumont entered the muddy waters of the Yangtse river and as it moved up the stream, it was amusing to watch the sampans, or river boats as they followed the ship like a flock of gulls. These poorly built sampans were filled with women and children. I wondered how they lived until told that they were fed with the scraps from the ship ' s table. This explains the procession. Shortly after we anchored, my companion and I went ashore; and laughing and joking, we all crovvfled into funny Chinese rick-shaws drawn by Chinese coolies and went shojjjiing. ' e bought a great many curios for souvenirs. There were some large stores run on the European plan and some really beautiful restaurants which served both American and Chinese dishes. The visit here proved all too short, but Japan was calling. More days on the water, then the shore line of Japan came into view. The view here was more beautiful than either of the other two ports. Along the water edge were quaint little houses built of bamboo, nestling at the foot of the green hills. On these rose terrace upon terrace of rice fields. As we cruised up the sea. the majestic snow capped sacred mountain. Fuji Yama, came in sight. When port was reached, the Japanese authorities and the United States Ambassador boarded the Chaumont to welcome the distinguished passengers. After a very short stay which permitted the voyagers to visit attractive shops I STORY AND VERSE 113 again, we turned our faces toward Honolulu, our last stop on the long trip. After nine days, the twinkling lights of the nearhy shore, for night had fallen, told us that we were pulling into the heautiful harhor of Honolulu, the Metropolis of the West. In this far away island, we saw many wondrous sights. Only a few hours were alloted for sight seeing, so we all hurried to the wonderful volcano Kilauea in Hilo. This is the most accessihle volcano in the world. On the edge of the crater is a fine hotel where one can peer over from the balcony, down into the boiling lake of molten lava. The circumference of the crater encloses an area of 2,650 acres. A peculiar sensation was that of going thru a lava tunnel. Flashlights had to be carried and by their light many fantastic formations could he seen on the walls and roof. America l)ound at last! Everyone on board felt happy at the thought of reaching familiar scenes again, except one homesick girl who wondered what America had in store for her. Shadows Bv Ikuko Madokoro The shadows are having a program In our lawn. They are present in lull array Flitting here, darting there. Moving about continuously : The moon beams down graciously. The program begins : all is still. The trees croon the prologue, The shrubs part Disclosing a group of fairy shadows dancing (iraceful, light-footed, merry. Tliey vanish into the darkness beyond And tinv elves appear on the stage, Acrobats — turning, twisting. Rustling applause As the gay elves run off with smiles and bows. Other numbers — Fencing matches with the princes of shadowland. Songs from the trees. Then, out of the darkness Heaps a lean, shadow tiger. All scatter, — the moon, too. is gone. There is only a gentle breeze rustling leaves. 114 T H E A RT I S A N S • 3 1 Modern French Empire Building Bv i£RNA Bryant a lHE SPIRIT OF DARING that has invaded the world in the past thirty [BrK Mvears has inspired France to begin to build up a mighty empire in Africa. • Railroad trains now make their way through the long fertile stretches of North Africa, where bandits only, once patrolled. Peaceful industries now take the place of weird customs in African villages the Frenchmen has invaded. French colonies are divided into two classes: those which are valuable only for their resources, and those which are suitable fields for colonization. The former type are those whose climate prevents native Frenchmen from settling and building homes for themselves. Colonizers can usually live in trojiical countries. if their residence can be broken by periodic intervals spent in cooler and drier climates. Such lands as the Congo, the Soudan, and a large part of Madagascar are valuable as colonies, because of the natural resources and raw products. In west Africa, France has an empire which will probably be the supply station for one of the most important of French industries, as a result of the cultivation of cotton. West African conmerce amounts to more than forty million dollars a }ear and eight hundred seventy-five miles of railroad are used in trans- porting raw materials This empire includes Senegal, Guinea, the Ivory Coast, and Dahomey, and in the interior the lands drained by the Niger River. This coun- try, called the French Soudan, is seven or eight times as large as France and has twelve or thirteen million inhabitants. In Madagascar, great progress has been made. Six hundred twenty-five miles of roads have been built, and one hundred twenty-five miles of railroads. The com- merce of the island has increased from five million four hundred thousand dollars in eighteen ninety-eight to thirteen million dollars in nineteen hundred six. A huge naval station has been built at Diego Suarez, as a base for the French fleet. Slavery has been abolished in Madagascar, and hospitals and schools have been built every- where. In ten years, France has accomplished this change in Madagascar. In Tunis, statistics show that since eighteen eighty-one, the number of French inhabitants has increased from a few hundred to thirty-five thousand. In eighteen eightv-one, there was one common port, three hundred seventy miles of roadway and one hundred twenty-five miles of railroads. In nineteen hundred six, there were four modern ports, one thousand five hundred sixty miles of roads and one thousand one hundred and ninety miles of railroads. France looks to Africa for her troops, as well as for her raw materials. It is here where the French Foreign Legion ride and fight in the burning sands of the Sahara. African colonization has brought many delightful bits of literature, and at the same time has created a mighty empire for France. France will never regret spending time and money upon Africa, for already it has repaid her I DRAMA AND MUSIC 116 THEARTISANS ' 31 Girls ' Lyric Club Another successful and very delightful term has heen com]ileted by the Girls ' Lyric Club. The club made its first appearance when it took part in the Music Su- pervisors ' Conference which was held at the Philharmonic Auditorium.

The Pied Piper of Hamelin, and in the chorus of 400 voices which sang for the Music Supervisors ' Conference at the Philharmonic Auditorium in a concert with the Ail- City high school orchestra. Inunediately after the onera the club began prepara- tions for a minstrel show, which was presented in the Auditorium. Much praise is due to the officers and its adviser. Miss Elizabeth Mottern.

This type of choral work — singing without accom]3animent, is rapidly gaining popularity in high schools throughout the country. The song material is of the highest musical worth, and great independence is gained because the singers have no instrumental support. A strong feeling for harmony is developed, and fine effects in interpreta- tion may be gained.

DRAATA AND MUSIC 123 I 124 T H E A R T i S A N S ■ 3 1 Players ' Company The Players ' Company mi-nibers have just completed a most successful term filled full of hard work but much enjoyment. Their first accomplishment was Her Radio Romeo. This was a clever two- act comedy which proved most entertaining. The ne.xt iierformance which was a real sensation was the interpretation of The Merchant of Venice. The company presented three scenes from vhis immortal comedy. The Borrowing Scene was accepted at the Shakespearean festival and the Trial Scene was given public schools week. Both of the con- testants, Ahlean Masters and Harvey Blum, who won the Shakespearean Contest of the school, were members of the Players ' Ct)mpany. Another new achievement of this term was the celebration of Drama Week. During this week the Players ' Club, under the direction of the Company, presented two comedies, If Men Played Cards as Women Do, and Evening Dress Indispensable. The coni])any also under the leadership of Paul Gurevitcli studied the art of stage make up and made up for the senior play and the opera. The officers are Ahlean Masters, president ; Paul Gurevitch, vice ; Ruthlee Leach, sectv ' -treas ; Irving Hamilton, prop boy; Rita Rouse, publicity manager. Her Radio Romeo Her Radio Romeo was jiresented by the Players ' Company in assembly on Feb- ruary 26, and scored one of the big successes of the term. The play is a farce comedy by Hilliard Booth and was directed by Mr. H. G. Donnel. The story is of an elderly spinster aunt, who has planned to marry her frivo- lous niece to a florid and stodgy millionaire. ' era, the niece, is in love with Dick Arnold, the nephew of an enormously wealthy automobile manufacturer. An interesting and highly amusing complication occurs when Lord Jo, slight- ly unbalanced, arrives on the scene. He is the individual whom Dick hapi)ens to be impersonating. The production was ably cast and played in strict farce tempo. The radio effects required in the play were particularly well carried out. The part of Aunt Ellen was portrayed Uy Ahlean Masters. Vera Ralston, the pretty and frivolous debutante, was done by Rita Rouse. Harvey Blum played the part of the hero, Dick Arnold, a nd Jasper Kenton was played by Dick Sanford. Juanita Encell ably played the part of Patricia Dean and Irving Hamilton brought great applause with a very fine interpretation of the unbalanced Lord Jo. The Merchant of Venice Three scenes from The Merchant of Venice, by William Shakespeare, were presented by the members of the Players ' Company under the direction of Mr. Donnel, Thursday March 26th. The first two scenes were in e.x])lanation of what had gone before, and gathered up the thread of the drama in preparatit)n for the clima.x of the trial scene. DRAMA A N D M U S I C 125 The ]wrt of Sliylock, tlu- Jewish money-lender, was exceptionally well ])ortrayed hy I ' aul (iurevitch, and Antonio, the merchant, was played by Fred Dennington. Dick Sanford took the part of Bassanio, the Venetian, and Portia, his betrothed was played by Ahlean Masters. Ruth Lee Leach portrayed Nerissa, her maid. Uther members of the cast were: the Duke of ' enice, Ray Perry; Gratiano, Harold Lehman; Salarino, Bill Hammond; Salanio, Irving Hamilton; Lubal, Joe Oldaker ; clerk, Karl Bagwell ; and pages. Louise Cox and Florence Hurd. The ]:)resentation was very successful and was received by the student l)ody with great interest. Babs The graduating class of Summer ' 31 presented Babs as their class play. It was most effectively directed by Miss Edwards and proved to be a decided success. Babs has to do with a girl ' s amusing and sometimes desperate efforts to make her family and friends take her seriously. Barbara Archibald returns home unexpectedly from boarding school two weeks ahead or schedule and proceeds to stir up the family. Within a fortnight she has upset the nuptial plans of her debu- tante sister and has invented a love affair for herself, which, made to appear more serious than it reallv is, sets the fanii ' y by the ears. Could vou imagine the result of a most tragic occurrence when her make be- lieve lover turns out to be a real human being ? It certainly has a most entertaining effect on all concerned and it seems everyone is concerned in things that Babs undertakes. The graceful comedy offered good opportunity for splendid characterization. The part of Babs portrayed by Arlette Mohler was very satisfying. Her three young lovers, played by Joseph Moorehead, Ray Gardner, and Ronald Hilliard were the sensations of the performance. Leila, the sister, and her betrothed, Clinton Beresford, were splendidly played by Ahlean Masters and Robert Musser. Mr. and Mrs. Archibald, were well taken by James Doolittle and Margaret Howard. Jane, the butler and the maid, were artistically played by Almabell Powers, Leonard Allen, and Helen Sterns. Illusion By Ramona Hornbfxk The moon ' s dripping silver Caught you in light ; Filmed that white, sharp face With sudden shadows — And for a fleeting moment Your lovely, winsome youth returned ! 126 THE A R T I S A X S ' 3 1 i Scenes from The Merchant of Venice DRAM A A N D MUSIC 127 The Pied Piper of Hamelin ' The Pied Piper of Hamelin, presented hy the ccmibined Aeolian and Lvric Clubs accompanied 1) - the senior orchestra, was the splendid o])cra s iven this term. The students of Manual were taken to a little town called Hamelin where the ]ieople were all very depressed and excited because there were so many rats — in the cupboard, in the closets, and even in the baby ' s cradle. The mayor and corporation had tried in vain to solve the vermin problem, ( ne da}- all the people gathered at the town hall imploring that something l.)e done. To the door of the maj ' or ' s room came a tall young man who called himself the Pied Piper. By means of a secret charm in his possession, he was able to draw all living things after him. He offered to free the town of the horrible rats for one thousand guilders. The mayor enthusiastically offered him fifty thousand guilders. In a moment the piper was on the street with his magic pipe to his lips. At the first few notes rats of all sizes and shapes followed him to the ri er Weser where they were drowned. Rejoicing was heard from one end of the town to the other, when in the midst of the throng appeared The Pied Piper asking for his reward. The mayor laughed and refused him the money. Again the magic notes were heard. Out of the houses came the children, gaily following the merry mu sic. Into a magic mountain they were lead where dollies, tops, jumping jacks, and little wooden soldiers danced for them, and wind sprites put them to sleep. Poet brought the piper again to Hamelin. Here the little lame boy won his heart, and the children came dancing back. The part of the mysterious Pied Piper was taken by Richard Sprague. Ray Perry was the illustrious mayor while Grace Franson and Florence Hurd took the part of his wife and daughter respectively. The corporation of the town included Hugh Frazier, Ray Sorenson, Ray Anderson, Roderick Peterson, Philip Tyman, Don Curley, Eugene Kingsbury, and Roland Helsel. Ahlean Masters portrayed the difficult part of the lame boy who was left behind. The Dream Lady in the mountain was Herthe Pacifico. Ernest Mcjannett repre- sented the lover of the mayor ' s daughter. Many departments of the .school cooperated to produce The Pied Piper of Hamelin. All the novel dances were prepared by the girls ' gym department. The rustic village and enchanted mountain scenery were constructed by the shop department under Mr. Charles Andersen, and painted by the art department under Mr. Schwankovsky. The costumes for the dancers and singers were created and painted by Miss Edna Jones ' costume designing class and cut and sewed by the home economics department. The singers were trained for their part by Miss Ina Davids and Miss Mottem of the music department to whom much credit is due. The senior orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Peterson furnished the instrumental accompaniment. The weird notes of the pijjer ' s flute and the enchanted beauty of the magic cave with its s])arkling stalactites and fanciful creatures led one into a world mysterious and significant to the youth of all lands. 128 T H E A R T I S A N S ' 3 1 A Symbol of Modernism By Verna Bryant ra gnHE AIRPLANE IS THE SYMBOL of modernism. This beautiful man- S lll made bird typifies daring, fearlessness — the spirit of modernism. Avia- ■ tion in the United States has progressed more than in any other nation in the world. Aviation is the king in the modern romance of transportation. Aviation in this country began with the Wright Brothers, who flew their first power machine in a flight of twelve seconds in 1903 at Dayton, O. From this date to the World War, aviation made little advance. The World War revealed the possibilities of the airplane, for aviation introduced an entirely new method of warfare. Two ]irincipal duties of the airplane during the war were scouting from the air, and air raiding. Germany was the outstanding nation in aeronautics during the war, for she built Zeppelins. There have been many discussion as to which of the two, Zeppelins or air- planes, is the better. The Zeppelin can carrry more weight and has the capacity to stay aloft a longer period of time. However, the airship is slower, and the air- plane can reach higher altitudes, can land easier, and it is not as difficult to build. The United States has more air routes than all the comliined countries of Europe. The latest air mail flight from Xew York to Los . ngeles takes twenty- six hours and will soon be reduced to twenty-two hours, his is a change from the air mail experiments in 1918, when the mail would be taken in airplanes in the daytime, put on trains at night, and then picked up by an airplane the next day. The air commerce act began a concentrated effort to include air transportation in the United States. The air mail route stretches across the central part of the na- tion from coast to coast with various branches. In the main route, one pilot flies from New York to Chicago and another takes the plane from Chicago to Omaha. Next the re ' ay goes to Cheyenne, Wyoming, and then on to San Francisco. A letter may be mailed early in the afternoon in Chicago and reach us at noon the next day. This is what the air mail has accomplished. The Aeronautic Branch of the Department of Commerce has done much to improve transportation in every way. It coojjerates with the aeronautics industry, and promotes its welfare. This branch started with about six rooms and twenty- five or thirty people, and now has a floor and a half in a building, l«j employees in Washington, and 1.000 in the field with 100 pilot experts. When Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic in 1927, it showed the world that trans-Atlantic flying could be done, and it interested the world more in aeronautics than ever before. Passenger travel became exceedingly popular, and now some planes carry thirty passengers, who fly in as much comfort as in a puUman. Air travel is now more comfortable and, of course, much swifter than any other type of transportation. The United States is the foremost nation in the world in aviation at the pres- ent time, for Forward Ever, Backward Never is the motto used in the conquest of the air.

I 152 THEARTISANS ' 31 Modern Africa Bv Arthur Eslick HFRICA! WHAT VISIONS THAT NAME CONJURES! Jungles, wild mighty rixers. lofty mountains, and lonely plains : all spell one word : ca. For centuries Africa has been the Unknown among the continents. The hardy traveler, fighting his way through steaming jungles and fierce tribes, was sure to get his fill of adventure, and often death waited at the end of the trail. Boiled white man was enough to whet even the most fastidious cannihaFs appetite and cause the drums to beat out the signal for a tribal banquet. Times have changed, of course, but even in this twentieth century the subtle spell of the Dark Continent remains, making its presence felt even over the busy streets of Cape Town, the New York of South Africa. It is this blending of the old and new that makes Cape Town such a delightful city. Essentially a modern metropolis. Cape Town ' s cosmopolitan population adds a note of quaint distinctiveness to what would otherwise be only a moderately inter- esting port-of-call. Tall Indians, swarthy Arabs, dusky Kafirs, and tanned Euro- peans stand out in sharp contrast against the up-to-date environment of a modern citv. Cape Town boasts paved streets, imposing buildings, electric lighting, and doubtless the natives have learned that wait.ng tor a street car is just as tiresome in South Africa as anywhere else. The harbor is the foremost port of South Africa and handles millions of dollars worth of goods annually. The climate is comparatively moderate and extremely healthful. Cape Town, though the chief city of the Union of South Africa, is not the largest, as Johannesburg with a population of almost 300,000 tops the list. Johan- nesburg vies with Cape Town for first place as the most modern city in Africa. Situated in the center of the gold-mining district of the Transvaal, the city of Johannesburg is one of Africa ' s show places. The economic position of South Africa is rapidly improving. Mining is the leading industry and every year millions of dollars worth of gold, copper, and dia- monds are exported. Agriculture is also becoming commercially important, as the extensive irrigation projects undertaken by the government bring more land under cultivation. Manufacturing is showing a yearly increase. At one time the raising of ostriches was a large industry, Ijut since the World War the production hae steadily decreased. The union has the fuil status of a self-governing dominion of the British Empire. Political ideas are progressive, and the enlightened government has set an example for the world. The steady progress of the Union of South Africa has blazed the trail of civ- ilization across what was once the Dark Continent. The keynote of this up-and- coming little nation is as modern as television. Not until the whole of the continent is as peaceful, progressive, and prosperous as the Union of South Africa will the world be satisfied. ATHLETICS 154 T H E A RT I S A N S ' 3 1 Our Athletic Coaches To successfully select and train the memljership of sport teams in a large metropolitan high school such as Manual Arts requires a coaching staff of natural ability, training, and experience. By their devotion to American sports and by their personal energy and persistence our coaches have brought many high honors to our school through splendid victories of their teams. Sid F. Foster. Coach Foster, the most experienced physical education mentor at Manual, has put great strength into many a team. He assisted Coach Toney last year in producing a city championship, and this year took over the reigns of baseball coach, putting out one of the strongest teams in the history of our athletic prowess. James J. Blewett. Great praise is due to Coach Blewett for his splendid work with the varsity football team ' . This year the local grid eleven were very successful tying for the city league title. Coach Blewett is also the mentor of the class B track team having coached two successive dual city championship teams. Jantcs P. .-iniistrong. The great task of guiding the varsity basketl iall team was placed on the shoulders of Coach Armstrong this year. He accomplished a great deal by producing a very competent squad. His work includes class B football and class C track coaching. His ability was evident in the type of work he did in creating a city championship midget track team. Arthur ]] ' iUiams. To Coach Williams goes the huge responsibility of being the mentor of the gym team, which has won the state championship every year under his supervision. Coach Williams is also coach of class C football and class B baseball team. Charles Tonex. Varsity track coach is the assignment of our newest addition to the coaching stal?. His efficiency was shown by the championship team last year. This year ' s team promises to be one of the best ever turned out on Wilson field. Coach Toney is also the line coach for our football team. The strong line of the Artisan squad of last year exemplifies his work. Coach Herbert E. Longbccd. A great mainstay in our coaching department is Coach Lougheed. His diversion is in the capacity of varsity baseball coach. Coach Lougheed is also entrusted with the corrective gym department, one of the most beneficial courses offered in a California secondary school. 155 THE COACHES Sid Foster James Blewett James Armstrong Arthur WILLIA rs Charles Tokey Herbert Lougheed 156 THE ARTISAN S ' 3 1 ATHLETICS 157 The Basketball Season Our basketl)all team experienced some hard luck this season by losing four frames 1) - a total of only seven iioints. The Toilers were favored in every game except two, one of these being the Hollywood game. Captain Bill Hardee was high point man of the season. The team work, in gen- eral, showed great improvement as the season progressed. The close scores show that the conipetitinn was strong. ( )])ponents ' scores were he ' .d down b}- such fine guards as Don [ ' arsons and P aldo Kristovitch. Coach Jimmy Armstrong had only two lettermen from last year ' s team to form l!ie nucleus of this xear ' s team, lie is to be congratu ' ate.l upon his success in his first vear as varsity basketball coach. Class B Basketball Coach Tee-Wee Williams in his second year as Class B basketball mentor turned out a good team. Led by Capt. Dick Secrist. the team won three games and lost three. Close games were lost to Hollywood, Jefferson, and l oly. The Poly fracas was so closi- that it was necessary to call an over time ])eriod in which the Artisans lost bv one basket. Our victories were over Roosevelt, Belmont, and Franklin. The first string was composed of Capt. Secrist. W ' hitey Reynolds, Ronald Pitt, Paul Crow, and Pno Sho. Other numeral winners include Jack Powell, Swan Clay Pierson, and Oscar Riviera. Many of these men will return to make up next year ' s team. Class C Basketball It has become a tradition for the Class C basketball team to he coached by a student coach. The Toiler babes were indeed lucky this past season in securing such a fine student coach as Jimmy O ' Mara. All games which were played by the Class C squad were exceptionally close. It was necessary to call an over time period in the Roosevelt game in which the Roughriders were victorious. The baby Artisans won from Franklin and Holly- wood by many points. The numeral winners were Captain Dale Herian. ' incent lanne, Merlin Llovd, J. McCamant. Therold Fielder, and Sunio Fukiyama. 158 THE ARTISAN S 31 Varsity Basketball Players Captain Bill Hardee filled his position as forward in a very capable manner. Ed Strauhe looked very promising alternating at center. Ed is the only returning letterman and will captain next year ' s team. Don Parsons played a great game at guard. He was one of the most consistent men on the team. Don will be missed on the next year ' s varsity. CHAKI.KS ,• K.SKY Bayard Miller graduated from last year ' s city championship lightweight squad. He played a scrappy game at guard throughout the season. Charles Zarsky held down the position of forward in a promising fashion. Marvin Labory was one of the few returning veterans from last year ' s squad. His shots for the hoop showed great accuracy. Baldo Kristovich finished the season at a regular berth due to his marked improvement in guarding. Carles Nauert filled the duties of manager in a very capable manner. . I KHISTn II I I CHARLES NAUERT A T H L K TICS 159 Manual-Roosevelt December 4 The opening game of the season was played with Roosevelt on their court. The lead swayed back and forth until in the final moments of play one of the Rough- riders sank a basket making them victorious by one ])oint. The final score was 14-13. Manual-Hollywood December 11 The higliK- touted Redshirt outfit was given quite a scare by the Toiler (|uintet. During the first half, the teams were evenly matched but as the game progressed it grew more exciting. The iVrtisans finally lost by a score of 27-29. Manual-Belmont January 1. The Manual . rts Casaba tossers were downed by the Belmont (juintet by a score of 29-27. The liall seemed to be in possession of the Artisans most of the time InU manv of their shots went wild. Poly-Manual January 5 .Showing much improvement the Toiler (|uintet upset the dope by defeating the faxored Mechanics to the tune of 17-12. The - .rtisans were in a predominating jiosition throughout the game, which was very e.xciting. Franklin-Manual January 16 During the first part of the game it looked as if it would be close game but the Kiteflyers soon weakened and the Artisans took the lead which they kept for the re- mainder of the game, winning by a score of 37-21. JefFerson-Manual January xo In the last game of the season the Artisan quintet dro]iped a close game to Jefferson. This was one of the most exciting games of the season, it being anyone ' s game until the last moments of play when the Democrats won out by a score of 27-24. 160 THE ARTISAN S ' 3 1 VARSITY TRACK m i [ifei ' ie I.A ' n TKA ' K iS ia   ««« •::( CLASS C TRACK A T H L E T 1 C S 161 Class B Track Season Manual took second in the city meet this year. Since class B track was intro- duced two years ago Manual has not lost a dual meet. This season has produced some very good stars in Carn Bustamente, Weblj, Comerford, Lenahan. Rossiter. Wright. ' illiams. and Abies. Don Carn was very fast in the sprints, taking many first places, and was followed closely by Willie Abies, Reggie Williams was quite the iron man of the outfit. Reggie boosted himself over 20 feet in the broad jump and was entered in the high jump and 660. He also ran a fast lap on the relay team. Bustamente ])roved to be a big sensation in the low hurdles. His first race, he won in verv fast time and beat out his more experienced team mate. ' right. He also proved to be valuable in the broad jump. Bill Webb showed a world of style in the 660 liy breaking the city record in this event at 1 minute 26.9 seconds. Morris was also a fine distance runner. Captain Mike Lanahan was one of the most valuable men on the team. Mike was almost always a cinch first, in the pole-vault. He soared to the remarkable height of lift. 6in. and his team mate Rossiter did the same. Mike also was .Manual ' s best in the high hurdles. Coach Jimmy Blewett deserves plenty of jjraise f(jr training such a good team. Class C Track Season The Manual babes secured a good hold on second place in the city meet, coming very close to first. Led by Captain Franny Cooke, who starred in the sprints, the midgets had a successful season. In the sprints, there was always a hot battle between Captain Cooke, Theis, and Gonzales. The latter scoring highest in the low hurdles. Spilholtz was the big star in the high jump, jumping as high as 5 ft. 8 in. to annex first place in almost every meet, and first place in the City meet. Ashton turned out to be a very good shot putter. The toiler relay team turned out with flying colors, winning the city meet in the fast time of 469 sec. and also the Southern California, a new record of 46.1 seconds. Due praise should be given to such fellows as Captain Francis Cooke, Theis, Spilholtz, Frampton, Gonzales, Klein, Alpaugh, Campbell, Ashton, Silver, Takaoka, Caddow and Burns. Much credit is due Coach Jimmy Armstrong in organizing this team as most of his material was green and had to be developed. 162 THE ARTISAN S ' 3 1 DICK IIAMAN BILL DEIAN OTlSiiRMiV OT: Relay Carnivals As a fitting debut for spring athletics the men entered the A. A. U. and the City Relay Carnivals. They suffered defeat by Poly in the 4-nian 440, and dis- qualification of the 8-man mile relays at the A. A. U. Relays. They placed second in the grand total of points garnered in the City Relay Carnival. The 4-man 440, composed of Joe Kleinbauer, Bud Wyatt, Carl Saterfield, and Lorry ( )shurn, again took second to Poly. The Toilers were destined to place second in the 8-man mile after giving Polytechnic a hard battle, Kleinbauer, Wyatt, Cushnie. Soloman, Steele, Stevens, Dejan, and Osburn made u]) the Toiler octette. The feature race of the day was the distance medley. The local squad of Baker, Fish, Saterfield and Hickey fought the strong Hollywood team placing second only by a small margin. Saterfield showetl great promise as a half miler by the exceptional lap he ran in the relay. Haman again met Don Carter of Franklin and was forced to place second.

He came within 34 of a point of being high point man of the season. Joe KIcinbaiicr. One of the big surprises of the season. After being off the track for two years, Joey came back and proved himself to be one of our best men in the century. His best time of 10.1 came within one-tenth of a second of the school record. Lorr Osburn. Lorry leaves this term with a three year letter to his credit. He starred in the century and tied the school record at Manual in the 21Q running 22 seconds flat ! Carl Satcrficld. He was found to be the fastest man in the school in two events ; namely, the quarter mile and the half mile. Carl shattered both the school and city records when he ran his remarkable race of 1 :57 in the 880. Ed Fisk. Ed came up from the lightweight team of last year to run the half mile this year. He was Manual ' s fastest in this event until Saterfield entered it. Francis Bcnavides. Benny broke the school record in the mile but in doing so took second, so was not credited with the school record. His time was less than 4 :31. J aim Hie key. John looked promising in the mile. His performances helped make the mile our strongest event. Johnny was always to be depended upon for points in any meet. Sid Biitteru ' ortli. Sid made his letter by taking fifth place in the city meet this year. He is a two year letterman and deserves much praise. Dick Hainan. Dick played the role of iron man for the Artisans. Besides com- peting in the shot, he ran the high hurdles. He was high point man of the year. Barnex Moore. Barney came within j? 8 of an inch of tying the school record which is held by Gil Martin of last year ' s squad. Barney leaped 6 feet 1 inch last year and 6 feet 2 inches this year. Otis Grady. Otis made his letter in the city meet by annexing fourth place. He tied Barney Moore in the last dual meets showing nuich improvement. Bud V att. Bud proved himself to be a capable sprinter. His times of 10.2 seconds in the century and 22.6 seconds in the furlong show that Bud was usually uj:) in the money. Herb Feaga.i. Herb was our l)est broad jumper at the close of the season. He covered over 21 feet in the city but failed to place. Jimmy Yanianaka. Jimmy jiroved to be a sensation early in the season by de- feating Feagan in the broad jump. Jimmy also failed to place in the city meet after making over 21 feet. Fred Ota. Fred made his letter in the pole vault by tieing for fourth place in the city meet. He was our best pole vaulter. He came within one and one-half inchs of tieing the school record in vaulting 12 feet. Manager Jim Lynch was a very industrious and a very efficient worker.

Varsity Baseball The varsity 1)aseljall team had a very successful season, in fact it was one of the l)est for the ])ast few seasons. Due to a little controversy over whether or not liasehall would remain at Alan- ual, the team was late in starting their practice season. The baseball squad was a well rounded, cooperative team, functioning nicely, at every point impressing one as a powerful aggregation. ] Iuch credit is due to our coaches.

The team split about even on the numlier of games won and lost. The Artisans were fortunate this )-ear in securing such a fine student coach as Bill Sass. Bill has worked hard with the squad and deserves much credit. Led by Capt. Bill Grey, a veteran from last year ' s lightweight squad, the team showed potential strength due to teamwork and cooperation among the players. The first string was composed of Al Mason, Rozecci, Galardo, Powell, Sco- field. Farmer, Mar, Art Mason, and Abies. 174 THE ARTISAN S ' 31 J(1K Hni.sl ' KTH CAI ' I.

Captain Johnny Goodivin. Johnny was a fighter and a plugger through the whole season. It was his presence that kept up the ])e]) and determination of the team. He is a good player and filled his position of catcher in a very satisfactory manner. Jack Hoffstctter. Jack was our best pitcher. His work made him a very val- uable man. He was always dependable in shouldering the responsibility given him. ATHLETICS 175 Nat,; Vaa :.i TnM W ' hali.ev John 11i:kkv Natlian Blum.

This is a good showing for the comparatively new men, as nearly every letterman graduated last February. For nine consecutive years the gym team has lost only one dual meet in all. Captain Newell, Bob Christy, and Miles Calvert went through the season without one defeat. Other stars were Whitey Reynolds, tumbler; Gordon Haggerty and Charles Henderson, all-round men; Gift, on the horizontal bar; Hanson, on the side horse ; and Leonard, in the rope climb. The success of the season is due mainly to Coach Williams and Manager Roy Whitaker.

Golf Team The ]jast season was quite successful for the local golfers who managed to grah third place in the City League, which was rejiresented by nine teams from the various schools. After winning three matches in a row from Lincoln, Belmont, and Poly, our boys dropped a close decision to L. . . and the fo ' lowing week lost to th; champion- ship Hollywood (|uintet. The team then took the last three from Fremont, Frank- lin, and Roosevelt. Members of the team were Ca])tain Bill Burke, John Duffy, Joe Sasso, Merlin Lloyd, and Russ Raine. The manager was Dubert Brouck, who proved to be very successful. All the matches were run off in good order. Next year ' s team will be lead by John Duffy, the only returning letterman.

The rest of the cabinet is composed of Helen McCaniant, ( leneva Simpson, Yvonne Smelter. Margaret . merian. and Evelyn Hauber. Girls ' Big M Society The members of the Big M society this year are Joan Hill. Melba Bailes, Geneva Simpson, Kay Randall, and Virginia Brunner. The term was climaxed by the huge annual ban(|uet at which Miss Doris Tenant was the main speaker. Dr. Wilsoti awarded the letters and stars while Miss Hanna awarded the emblems and pins. Girls ' Rifle Team The Girls ' Rifle Team was started in 1922 under the sponsorship of Sergeant Thorpe. Since 1923 it has been under the direction of Sergeant Littler. The re- quirements are. a recommended grade in gym and a membership in or above the All grade. One of the most important events of the term was play day at our school. Each girl did her very best and showed true sportmanship. Those that shot were ; Captain Vera Belle Chamberlain, Lucille Mudgett, Alice Fehrenbach, Blanche Christie, Stella Hartoonian. and Malile Roscoe. The other girls on the team are; Frances Scott. Adelaide Hansen, Mimmie Hill, Maxine Phillips, Renee Whiting, Marcelle Schlund, Nellie Edwards, Chris- tine Crile, Katherine Loughbom, Mildred Gardner, ' irginia Bunker, and Adeline Knipschur. R. O.

As this term closes we bring to memory a term filled with adventure and achievement in the activities of the R.O.T.C. ; a term successful in winning another Honor School title, a term made outstanding l)y the efforts of cadet major Ray LaGue, his staff and instructors — Major W ' m. R. Wilson and Sergeant C. E. Litt- ler. The unit maintained its efficient organization under captain adjutant Lewis Mc- Clain ; personnel adjutant. Capt. Paul Woods; training officer. Capt. Robert Fossek; ordnance and range officer, Capt. John (Jli er; and assistant range officer, Lieut. James Burch. The companies were in charge of: Cajit. Paul Cornwall, A Company; Capt. Wilham Miles, B Company ; Capt. William Wallace, C Company ; and Capt. Willis Kifer, Band. A good example of the military drill demonstrated Ijy the cadet officers took place on March 9, 1931, during the annual inspection by a representative of the ' ar Department. Lieut. Col. Jerome G. Pillow. The drill was developed to high degree of proficiency, and the support of the student body was of such merit that March 9th will be long remembered by all. The Manual Arts Officers ' Club, organized several terms ago in order to pre- serve unity, and promote good fellowship, enjoyed a wonderful term with Capt. Lewis McClain as jjresident ; Capt. Paul Woods vice president. Capt. Willis Kifer secretary, Capt. John Oliver treasurer, and Major Ray La Gue sergeant-at-arms. Some of the many affairs sponsored by the club this term were; the Manual Arts Military Ball, and the weinie bakes, hikes and dances. The club was entertained by Belmont, L. A., and Pasadena Jr. College semi-annual military balls. It not only functions as a social organization but is a nucletis for working out problems of the R. OJT. C. Working with the Officers ' Club is the Non-Conimissioned Officers ' Club, whose object is to promote a lietter understanding between the non-coms and the officers. The cabinet this term consist, of first sergeant Lyle Delanieter as presi- dent; platoon sergeant Frank Heflin, vice-president; first sergeant Gerry Cullen, secretary; sergeant Ty Correl, treasurer; sergeant major Able Tobey, sergeant-at- arms. ■For the first time in the history of the Manual Arts R. O. T. C. there has been organized a club for the privates. The military department is looking forward to many achievements from its future officers. This term witnessed the organization of an entirely new military police squad by Captain ' illianl Miles in connection with the commercial department. The R. O. T. C. 187 need for such a si|ua l is quite exident as a result of the huge crowds that attend the track and foothall games. The fellows are to congratulated ujion the fine spir it shown in their work. Among the many achievements of the R. O. T. C. this term is the single sheet puljlication, The Owl which makes its ajipearance on the hulletin hoard each day. The Owl Sees All and Knows All. and keeps the military informed of all activi- ties. It is edited hy Lieutenant Ralph Batchelor and Captain Lewis McClain. The rifle team was an outstanding organization this term as the result of many strenuous hours of coaching hy Sergeant C. E. Littler. The team captained by Cap- tain William Miles participated in the Ninth Corps Area match and placed high. In the Hearst Trophy match it ]ilaced sixth in the ninth corps area, and tied for tenth place in the entire United States. During Boys ' Week guests of the army Lieutenant Colonel Le Roy l. Smith. Lieutenant Colonel John J. Mudget, Major W. R. Wilson, Dr. Wilson and Mr. Fonda witnessed a battalion parade in memory of the late Colonel Elmer W. Clark, head of the military R. O. T. C. in Los Angeles. To make the event more impressive the sergeants ' firing squad fired a salute of three rounds, followed by taps blown on the bugle. Desires By Ikuko Madokoro To fly ! To go soaring into the air Above a stormy, turbulent sea With the motor roaring, The wind howling, The gulls shrieking — To fly. Amid, below, above. Ijeneath. gray clouds With all elements raging That ... is one desire. To drift. To drift languidly lown a stream Beneath a velvety, summer sky Set with a myriad shimmering star. Past soft dark shadows Fragrant with j)er fumes from countless flowers. To gaze vacantly at the moon Without any thoughts That ... is another desire. 188 T 1 1 I ' , A 1 T I S A X S • 3 1 o Military Police This squad was organized to give tlie school a more efficient grouj) of R. O. T. C. cadets to aid in the control of the enormous crowds which attend our games on Wilson Field, and to maintain order at all times. The organization of the squad contains a commander, Capt. William Miles his assistants, Capt. William Wallace, Capt. Kohert Fossek, Sgt. Major Able Tobey. Sgts. William Bush, Herman Bush, Albert Bresnik, Dalas Reed, Merwin Peck. Paul Clayton, Paul Corcoran, Cpls. Louis Acosta, Maxwell Hill, John Mac Neil, Pvts. Luther Pyle and Stanley Eastman. Each member is recognized by the purjjle and grey arm hand worn on the right arm. To be a member of the squad one has to be an outstanding man in the R. ( ). T. C. He must be able to meet the physical requirements. This term the quota of membership is twenty. The s(|uad is very fortunate in having as its advisers Dr. Wilson and Mr. .Mitchem. R. O. T. C. 189 Boys Rifle Team No higher honors could possil)ly lie brought to Manual by her cadets than that of bringing national honor and recognition in the rifle matches this term. In the Ninth Corps Area Match the Manual team held fifth place with a total of 5445 points out of a possible 6900 points. This match has important bearing on our rank in honor inspection. Captain William Miles placed high point ' man in this match. The Hearst Trophy Match found the Toiler team doing very well with a total of 900 points out of a possible 1000. In this match Major Ray LaGue scored the highest number of points. The returns from the National Intercollegiate Match which was held after the annual inspection, were very gratifying in that the team placed second among the junior units in the entire western states. This team made a total of 7553 points out of a possible 8000 points. In this match Major LaGue was again high man. The personnel of the team consisted of Capt. William Miles; ca]itain of the team. Major Ray La Gue, Ca])t. William Wallace. Lieuts. Walter Nass, Norwin Prewett, James Carver and Elbert Pyle, Sgts. Curtis X ' ander Heyden and Robert Reed, and Pvt. George LaMoree. The success of the team this term has been due to the e. ])erience of the cadets, the excellent conditions of the range and the efforts and ability of Sergeant C. E. Littler as a coach. 190 T H E A R T I S A X S ■ 3 1 Modern Japan Bv Hamako Fujisawa T WAS IN THE SPRING of 1930 that we finally sighted Yokohama. The nearness to the land of the sunrise, cherry blossoms and Fujiyama, gave us a thrill. Was not this the land of our people ? My mother had said that native Japanese who return to the empire after years abroad cannot with- hold tears. Frankly, I was restless. It is said that the hours of anticipation are cruel to the days of the future ; but surely these same hours kept my blood ting- ling and I was tired when we finally reached the port. No one understood my tears and sad expression a few hours later. Many thought, and perhaps rightfully so, that they were due to the joy and happiness of seeing for the first time the nation for which all Jajianese would gladly die. But alas, that was not the ca,se. Can ' t you imagine my disappointment? Here I was expecting to see a Japan, but I might as well have gone to New York or London or to any great Western city to see. I saw large, modern, up-to-date steam ships and huge factories from which could lie heard the industrial orchestra of hoarse and shrill whistles, chugging rollers, creaking chains, and the tattoo and the rasp of steel drills and hammers. During the brief and hurried trip through the principal cities of the country, one thing after another added to my early disappointment. U ' licrc was the charm of this great ch ' !li atioii that can bcxist of a Iiistory that is as glorious as it Is old? Where 2vas its soul. ' Had this country too gone money-mad? In the name of utility, progress, and prosperity, they were destroying the things so scenic and artistic, and so full of beauty. In the name of commerce, they disturbed even the peaceful waters of the traditional lakes ; they brought sights which clearly class with fair mountains ; and profane historical ancient places with trams that rattle and slay. But, was what I saw, the real Jajian? Quickly I remembered the history and the life of a little older Japan. In order to see the true Nippon it is necessary to drill through the steel wall of industry. But. alas, the early leaders saw and were dazzled by the outward sjilendor of the western civilization. They failed to discover its essence. Preoccujiied with the task to which they had set themselves, they forgot that a nation has a soul. Grad- ually, all the ills which beset a materialistic development, began to break out in both national and individual life. Ethical standards began to slip. Character began to break. Repeated graft scandals shook the the land. A group of millionaires appeared, whose luxury and mad extravagance shocked the thoughtful, and angered the poor and those who toiled. Capitalism and labor clashed. But this land is truly a wonderful empire. I am of the opinion that no one can fairly give an estimate of the actual Japan because it is next to impossible to picture the intangible qualities of that country, and the people who are its most im- portant asset. Any greatness that she may have achieved is not due to her unpar- alleled modernization within so brief a period as sixty years. The real power — in- tangible, inmeasurable, and unconquerable, is Japan ' s great spirituality. FEATURES 192 T 1 1 !•: A R T I S A N S 3 1 Georgia Tech F)Y Sid Smith X X() ' 1-:MBER 24T . 1SS2, the General Assemljly of Georgia passed a rcscilution introduced by the Honoralile X. E. Harris to consider the estalilishment of a technical school in Georgia. A commission of ten was a]jpointed to visit the leading engineering institutions of the country, and in 1885, the law was passed appropriating $65,030 for the construction of such a school. On October 20, 1886, Atlanta, one of the five cities which offered bids for the new school, was chosen as the location. I matriculated as a freshman in the Georgia School of Technology on Septem- ber 16, 1930, at which time my studies were : College algebra, trigonometr}-, chem- istry, English, monoplane delineation, Spanish, and R. O. T. C. Immediately after my entrance, and assignment to several studies, I enlisted in the military dejiartment of the R O.T.C. for a period of two years. At the expira- tion of this two year course I shall be eligible to take a course in advanced military tactics. Since self ])raise is half scandal. I am proud to say that I ' ve made the re- quired grade in all my studies, due to continuous and assiduous application to the duties devolving upon me. The several courses offered here at Georgia Tech are: Civil, electrical, me- chanical, textile, ceramic, chemical, and aeronautical engineering, general science, architecture, and commerce. These courses are offered at night school as well as in regular school. School attendance is required from Monday to Saturday inclusive. The institution has a national reputation based not on claims, but on results. The Georgia Tech graduates have been trained to think scientifically and to work efficiently, hence its greatest asset is the record which its alumni are making in the productive work of the world. FEATURES 193 The canijius of Georgia Tech with its twenty-four huildings and Grant Field for athletic events, and baseball field, covers an area of ])ractically forty-five acres. Grant Field Stadium covers an entire city block, with a seating capacity of thirty- five thousand. The interest shown in college athletics are in the following order : Football, baseball, track, basketball, tennis, swimming, lacrosse, and golf. To commemorate the California victory of the (jolden T(jrnado of Cieorgia over the University of California in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena New Year ' s day 1929, the gate receipts of this game, together with the season ' s savings, were taken by the Board of Directors to purchase a new field. 450 by 980 feet, within a short distance of Grant Field. This new field has been named Rose Bowl Field. Fraternal life is very strong on the campus. There are twenty- four orders now existing at Tech. Generous friends of the institution have established loan funds and scholar- ships of various amounts for the students who are deserving and qualify in char- acter and scholarship and show bonafide need of financial assistance. The cooperative plan of the institution is a source of inestimable benefit to the ambitious student. This plan, which has been so divided as to allow the student to go to school one month and work one month, is going to be divided into four three month periods. Such a plan makes it possible for those students who do not have money to go to school otherwise, to work their way through school. The cooperative plan takes five years to complete in any of the aforesaid courses. Among the several buildings there is one called the Lyman Hall Laboratory, named after the second president of the institution. Mr. Hall was a graduate the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York. Incident to the above paragraph, Mr. Lyman Hall, and my ancestor, Sidney Smith, were classmates in Mercer University, Macon, Ga., in the year 1873. The 1930 edition of the Blue Print, college annual at Georgia Tech, was distinctly honored by the National Scholastic Press Association recently when an enormous cup was presented to the school for the production of the best all-round annua! in its division. The ' Georgia Tech annual was in the division of schools and colleges throughout the nation having a student body not less than two thousand and not more than five thousand. I would like to add that in addition to all which has been mentioned, Tech has the most original song of any school in the country. It liears the title of Ramblin Wreck. 194 THE ARTISAN S ' 3 1 Ephebians Graduating with the biggest class in the histury of Manual, Mary Funk, Catherine Davis, Doris Howe, Sarah Smith, Johnnie Tucker, Elizabeth Long, Edward Johnson, Dale Lillywhite, Stanley Smith, Sterling McMurrin, Wendell Buttrey, Herbert Feagan, and John Donley were awarded the highest honor obtainable by a high school graduate, that of membership in the Ephebian Society. Mary Funk was girls ' judge and a gold seal liearer, as well as an active member of the Girls ' League. Catherine Davis was Senior B girls ' vice-president of the student body. Doris Howe, besides being Girls ' League president and active in clubs, was a member of the C. S. F. Sarah Smith, girls ' vice-president of the Senior A class, was an active member in the G. A. A. Johnnie Tucker was secre- tary of the Senior B class and also secretary of the student body. Elizabeth Long graduated as a member of the C. S. F. and was a prominent member of the Latin Club. Edward Johnson was president of the Senior Forum and boys ' vice-president of the student body. Dale Lillywhite was president of the Senior A class and also president of the Senior Forum. Stanley Smith, besides being president of the student body and a member of the varsity football team for two years, was a member of the Scholarship Society.

Herbert Feagan, besides being boys ' judge and president of the Manual Knights, made a fine record in athletics. John Donley was a gold seal bearer and a Manual Knight. FEATURES 195 Merit Board The Merit Board is one of the outstanding and important committees in our student body organization. It has general charge of the merit system and serves in an advisory ca]iacitv to those having lost twenty or more demerits. The members try to correct and to help those called before the board. The main idea is to create a respect for school government. The officers of the Merit Board are a chairman, who previously must have held the office of vice chairman. The vice chairman is elected by the council of Manual Arts; the office of secretary is filled by the girl ' s vice- president of the student body, and the sergeant-at-arms, who is appointed by the chairman. The chairman appoints the entire board, usually from the student cabinet. This term ' s offices are held by Dick Haman, president; John Goodwin, vice- president ; Kay Davis, secretary ; and Edward Johnson, sergeant-at-arms. The other meinbers are Marjorie Hirth, Doris Howe, Mary Funk, Johnny Tucker, Lillian Marks, Stanley Smith, Glen Coyle, Frank Mallon, and Miles Calvert. The advisers of this organization are Miss Hanna, Mr. Fonda, Mrs. Peasley, Mr. Hodge, and Miss Ingersoll. 196 THE A R T I S A x S ' 3 1 Rally Day Program Class of Summer 1 31 INlamial Arts Auditorium W ' cilucsday. juuc 17 Processional March from Aida ........ f en ; Manual Arts Hig-li School ( )rchcstra Omnipotence ...........

The Modernist Class of Summer 1931 has been fortunate in ob- taining the efforts of a staff that has worked diligently to produce a book that measures up to this anticipation. Many new ideas have been evolved by the combined efforts of the staff and faculty advisers, which is quite an achievement, as the Arti.san must be printed and 1)0und in the short time of ten weeks. The staff of this book not only deserves the thanks of the school but merits great praise for its skill, talents, and industry. Mr. Hansen, who supervises the journalism of the Artisan, understands his work thoroughly and displays much patience and judgment in his advisory capacity. We are truly grateful to him. The printing and typesetting of the Artisan was accomplished under the careful observance of Mr. Greenup and his capable assistants, Mr. Nelson, Mr, Handley, and Mr. Barrow. Mr. Greenup as manager of the printing department gave his time and expert knowledge to the publication of this book for which we are surely appreciative. Mr. Reeder and the bindery classes are to be congratulated for the execution of the beautiful and artistic covers of this issue. A new type of art was intro- duced in this number consisting of cuts made from clay models under the direction of Air. Schwankovsky, head of the art department, and Miss Jones, supervisor of the modernistic designs, and the work speaks for it- self. The modeling and crayon il- lustrations were executed by Harold Lehman and Tom Oreb and indicate a high order of aliility. Raymond M ' e r s , assistant editor, has earned much praise for his constant efforts and many clever ideas. The photography was ably han- dled by Mr. Woods and his classes in photography. Mr. Woods devoted much time to insure the success of Mr. ScavvANKovsKV this department. To the many people who have not received the recognized thanks for their ef- forts goes great appreciation. Your work spells achievement, the essential of success. The students of the printshop and book bindery did their part by printing and binding the Artisan.

Great Britain has sent the Prince of Wales and Sir Eric Drum- mond as two heralds of peace. However, the war gave us a l)ig opening in South American trade as England had no time to bestow on the market, and Germany was almost entirely shut off from it. Pan-American Day, April 14, is the result of the growing goodwill for the United States among the countries of America. The Pan-American Union has done much to further these relations. This union was approved in 1890. It collects data and information concerning the American states. Its purposes are to develop closer intellectual and commercial relations between the countries of the American hemisphere, and promote international cooperation in every way. There have been six international conferences of the American States in the past one hundred years. In 1826, a meeting of the American states was called by Simon Bolivar and met in Panama. Later, representatives from countries of South America met at Lima to draw up documents denoting hostility to the United States. Therefore, in 1882, invitations were issued by the United States government for a conference to be held in Washington in November to discuss arbitration between the nations of the American Continent. It was not until 1889 that the meeting was held, and this was the first Pan-American Congress. James G. Blaine, the Secretary of State, presided. The succeeding Congresses were held in 1901, 1906, 1910, 1923, and 1928. James G. Blaine, from the beginning of his career, advocated reciprocity be- tween the Latin American countries and the United States. He laid the foundation for the ideals in arliitration between these countries and for the type of commercial relations which have characterized the I ' an-American movement. It is necessary that we keep on good terms with South America, for since the war, our investments have been flowing to South America in a steady stream. Recently many good-will trips have been made. President Hoover ' s good-will journey disclosed that for the next fifty years South America and not Europe may be the chief field of American trade. His trip supplied to the public of the Latin Americas our purpose and feeling towards it. The airplane has done much in unifying Pan- America. Charles Lindbergh, upon the invitation of the President of Mexico, made a non-stop flight from Wash- ington, D.C., to Mexico City. This good-will mission was continued southward to include the republics of Central America and northern South America, and it seems to have helped the cause of world brotherhood.
