It was not merely the hearty of a woman ' s face or a proud steed, carved in stone, hut the heauty of the living mind and the living body of man. Ergo, there evolved the Olympic Games, where man, oiled and naked, flaunted his physical perfection Ijefore the critical populace. Pew Athenians would .say, Think not of my flesh if it offends vour sight. l)Ut of my mind, which is beautiful. ' That great race was aware that a beautiful mind bcgeis a beautiful body, and sometimes vice-versa. The Athenian athlete was asked to lay aside the laurel crown and delight his admirers with his skill upon the lute or the lei)th of his philosophy. To Athens we owe an eternal debt of gratituile for so exalting the greatness, the thrilling symmetry of man, and placing him in his true station above the level of lesser beasts. Today the nations of the earth strive to attain the perfection of manhood achieved by the ancients, and to that end the jieople are given the boon •hletics. Instruction in scientific e.-cercise, mass athletics for youth, and play- nds for the white collar men are the outgrowth of realization that intelligence jodily .strength can and should be one. Nations take pride in the scope (jf athletic ])rograms. Then at the Olympic ( iames they place their manhood arade. fundamental ])ur])()se of tile (_)lym])ic (iames is to create a si)irit of inter- iT brotherhood through the medium of the play instinct, which is inherent in pie and subordinates jealousy while nurturing honesty. At times sectiona will injec a note of bitterness, but slowly and unostentatiously, like an, lUs drug, the great purpose is being fulfilled. Finland, rent by a civil war bloody than our own, merges into a nation of mutual ideals and asjiirations h interest in sports. ations profit by observation of rival methods in developing young men andty women. Germany, freed from the bondage of Jingoism, advances a pro-( n of mass participation in athletics in order to compete on equal terms with f rica. Japan does the same and is overcoming the handicap of small stature threatening Occidental supremacy. Men learn not to hold contempt for less fortunate nations, and cherish memories of a great race by a man whose color and creed are not their own. In this the Olympic ' Games have achieved a result eclipsing all the peace pacts in the annals of governments. Glory to ancient . thens ; glory to those who advance the torch she lighted so long ago. fy r H. ' Vii, p) :)• U T H E A R T I S A N S ' 3 ALEX F. HANSEN ADVl S EB.

E r I C S 17 Paddock By Bob Ridgvvav SllK levies OF THE WORLD feast with thrilled wonder upon the 100 nu ' tt-r dash. ( f all the splendid contests upon track and field it is the most brilliant, most spectacular. It is the piece de resistance of the Olympic Games, one cyclonic burst of human effort, man straining every fiber of his being to hurl himself against a thin, white tape a fraction of a second before a fellow runner. America has not triumphed again and again in this classic as America has done in field events, but the United States, from their wealth of manhood, have given the world a line of the greatest sprinters ever known. Out of our own Southern California have come three who have dominated American races for over a decade — Paddock, Borah, and Wykoff. Each has ruled the collegiate world, each should have been an Olympic champion. Frank W ' ykoft , ace of American sprinters, has three times surpassed the records of all the runners of history in the 100 yard dash. Upon him rest America ' s hopes for a Yankee victory in the classic century. Yet, champion though he may be, Imck of this youth whose running spikes have borne him over the rugged road to fame there gleams a star whose lofty heights are yet untouched by the ascending planets of another generation. That star wanes, wanes after scintillating so brightly that years after its most radiant glow was shed it is still dazzling to the eye. The star wanes, but its life-story, the life-story of Charles Paddock, will live beyond the generation. Figures crouch upon a white line across a running track, they grow tense, the gun cracks and the runners flash out of their pits. One leads, goes hurtling down the straightaway in a blinding burst of speed to hit the tape with a spas- modic leap at the finish, and another Paddock victory goes down upon the records. The stocky, powerfully-built sprinter swept through national competition and entered the Olympic Games of 1920. He led the cream of the world ' s sprinters to the tape and shattered a world record. Back he came four years later to run in the Olympic Games at Paris, and to fight a losing battle. Still he swept on to victory after victory against America ' s best, and at last entered his third Olympiad. A clean-limbed boy from his own locale, who had beaten him in the American trials, accompanied him to Amsterdam as a member of the team. The boy was Frank Wykoff, destined to uncrown him as the World ' s Fastest Human. Paddock entered the games, fought a courageous fight against younger men. fresher men, and went down in defeat in the second round. Yet four years later he was out on a California track, testing his legs for the springy stride that had made his name glorious. A new Olympiad loomed, a new chamjjion was preparing to defend his honors. Twelve years is a long time for a sprinter to last. A Paddock victory would be a miracle, but his training is a glorious gesture. Men thrill to the sight of that stocky figure upon the track; Youth, idolizing Wykoff, gazes with interest. 18 THEARTISANS ' 32 Paddock is a symbol; his career is the oriflamme of conquering youth. How many have cast their eyes upwards and aspired to his greatness? How many have heard him voice his creed, the creed of clean Hving, clean playing, and the indomi- table determination to achieve the highest? Even Wykoff, the champion, hails Paddock as the greatest. Let us hope that these pages do honor to Charles Paddock, a fine American, a splendid sportsman, an inspirational Ijeacon in the realm of athletics. To Be Alone By Arthur Eslick To be alone ! A terrifying thought, indeed. But not to all. To the scholar? Xo. To him The silence is a friend, stimulating. And soothing to his active mind. Companionship to him extends beyond the human realm ; His friends are often Thoughts, Fanned by his loving care. To burst at last and gladden him. The quiet .soul needs not Earth ' s transient regard, But finds growth in being left alone. Not so with me, for I am not a scholar. Tu me the silence is an awful thing. The solitude a curse. 1 hunger for the lights, the Common sounds of human kind. My lonely senses revel in a crowd. My heart is gay, not often, but (July when it ' s near to other hearts. Warm and throbbing. My only horror is To be alone.

But back of that victory lay long hours of practiced coaching. So fine a coaching staff as ours is rarely assembled. Sid F. Foster — Coach Foster ' s own college career was replete with athletic glory. Once that of a baseball star, a backfield threat, and the world record holder for the 60 yard dash, his name is still a power at Occidental College. His first years at Manual found Toiler teams reaping state championships. In A.A.U. circles he is sage of all things locally athletic. James J. Blezvct.t — An alumnus of Manual and a former athletic great under Coach Foster, Coach Blewett stands high in the favor of the students and alumni. With but one letterman out of sixteen returning from a championship football team, he produced an erratic but ])rilliant eleven which tied for second place among twelve schools. His class B track team this season sought its third straight championship. James P. Armstrong — Rated cellar-champions by experts, a Toiler varsity basketball team swept to one amazing victory after another and finished the season as undefeated champions, a splended tribute to Coach Armstrong ' s patient instruc- tion. Coach Armstrong also coaches the B football and C track teams, which have had their share of pennants. Charles Toiicy — Another Manual alumnus, schooled by Coach Foster, Coach Toney found fame at the University of California, where he played beside the Homeric Brick Muller on Andy Smith ' s wonder team. He returned to Manual to guide the varsity track squad, which twice in a row huriibled L.A. High, taking the city champions in 1930 and in 1931, missing every championship by a hair ' s breadth. As line coach of the varsity football team, each year Coach Toney turns out a formidable squad Iioasting all-city players. Arthur Williams — The famous Toiler gym teams, which went nine years without defeat, have won championship laurels every year under Coach Williams. His duties also include the coaching of the Class B football team. Herbert F. Lougheed — The exacting task and necessary one of corrective gym instructor, under whose care many boys are guarded against misery in later life by careful correction of physical faults in their youth, is in the capable hands of Coach Lougheed. Until the withdrawal of Manual from baseball league he was also varsity baseball coach. A T 11 I.F.

He dcveloiicd iiis i|iiintct into a single unit that worked as a hod_ - lor one goal, a city chanipionshii). As is already known, this goal was realized after a hard struggle. The rejiutation of the Toilers grew witli each passing game. Underd(jgs in tiieir first four tilts, it seemed highly improbal)Ie that such an aggregation could keep winning. Yet. fired with real fight and a combination of team-work, they rolled up six well earned victories. In each contest, the fine floor work of Captain Kd Strauhe featured the game. Captain Kd was also an aid in spurring his men to further efforts. ( )ne of the highlights of the season was the defeat of a traditional enemy — L. . . High. The Romans were stuhhorn and did their l)est to stave off the deter- mined attacks of the jiurple and grey, hut to no avail. The greatest example of team s])irit was cxem])lified in the week that Jimmy .Xrmstrong ' s men dropped hoth Hollywoorl and Lincoln from their chani]iionship contending roosts. In the Tiger thriller, the locals were said to face certain defeat. P)Ut the climax was a 24 to 21 scrap, with Manual owning 24 points. Class B Basketball Coach Art Williams ' 19,51 -. 2 lightweight liaskethall team won two games in six starts and tallied 128 digits t(j 137 for the opposition. Campbell Johnston and Sunao Fukayama, forwards ; Dick Valentine, center ; Captain Dale Herian and Wilson, guards, comprising the starting team. The Artisans lost to L. A.. 22-19; thumped Fairfax 21-13; shaded Hollywood 28-27; succumbed to Lincoln 42-31 ; l(jst to Fremont, 14-12, and dropped the Garfield game, 19-17. Fukayama was the team scoring star, hanging up 2S points in three straight games, alentine and Wilson played consistently good basketball. Bayard Miller and Dick Secrist assisted in coaching the squad. ; Class C Basketball The Manual Arts 1931-32 Class C basketball team dropped four out of six contests, and were outscored. 88 to 86. The one .scintillating star on an otherwise mediocre outfit was forward Vincent lanne. The Toilers dropi ed their opening game to L. . .. 18-14. Fairfax was repulsed, 19-hi. in the second game. The locals then ran into a three game losing streak, .succumbing to Hollywood, 11-9; Lincoln, 18-17; and h ' remont, 16-14. In the final game, the Artisans trimmed Garfield, 13-9. lanne and Roberts paired at forwards, Harvey ])layed center, and Gene Lin and King were the regular guards. 24 THE A R T I S A N S ' 3 2 Manual at Los Angeles Pridiiy. December 18 , 1931 Opening with a determined attack that netted ten points in the first period, the Manual Arts quintet downed a long standing enemy, L. A. High, in a game that was a thriller from start to finish. Continued rallies kept the issue of the contest in doulit until the closing seconds of play. The final score was 20 to 17. P.oth teams were fairly well matched, hut the Toiler sciuad, coached hy Jimmy Armstrong, appeared to he the better drilled. Even then it was the fine work of Captain Ed Straube and Milt Linden that made an Artisan victory possible. Lin- den was high point man for the locals with nine digits to his credit. Above both teams, however, the sharpshooting of Stoefan, lanky Roman center, was the high-light of the battle. He carried away scoring honors for both teams by making a total of twelve ] oints. Fairfax at Manual I ' l-iday. December 2?tlt. 1931 Ralhing in each of the last three periods, Coach Armstrong ' s hoopsters again succeeded in turning what had at first appeared certain defeat into a victory. The second game of the season was won by a 27 to 19 score. The opening stanza was marked by the superiority of the Colonial team play. Before the first quarter had ended they had amassed a total of ten points. In the next heat the purple and grey started to function offensively. Captain Straube ' s passing and lino ' s accurate basket shooting kept Fairfax almost wholly on the defensive. After this point the Toilers were never headed. Each period brought an in- crease to the .score. Hollywood at Manual Tuesday, January 5lli, 1932 When Manual prepared to engage Hollywrood, a crushing Redshirt victory was predicted. Yet the locals knew how to ]jlay basketball and emerged from the game 20 to 14 winners. High ])oint honors were taken by lino, the diminutive basketeer sinking three field goals. Splendid teamwork and clever floor work of Ronald Fitt featured the contest.

The fierce reputation of tile orange and black clad athletes meant very little to the ambitious Toilers. In fact. Captain Straube ' s men refused to be impressed. High point honors were divided between Fitt and leyerette, crack Lincoln center. Both boys claimed ten points. Fitt. however, did not devote all his time to scoring, but turned in a brilliant defensive game. The greatest bit of individual i)!ay was that of Va .Straul)c in his cle -er defen- sive plav. The Toiler captain was all over the court. Fremont at Manual 71tcs(lay. January 19. 1932 In the Fremont fracas the Toilers really emerged into a ]iroper ])lane of recognition. The four previous tilts had found Manual on the short side ot the predictions as to the proliable victor. But, it was said. Manu al faced but weak o])position from the I ' athfin lers. However, it was all Coach Armstrong ' s men could do to eke out a fairly close decision. The purple and grey quintet came from behind in the last two quarters to add up a total of 18 points to Fremont ' s 13 and gain the verdict. j Iilt Linden and Captain Ed Straube led the scoring imrade. Each made eight ]ioints. Xevertheless. Walker, a red clad center, scintillated with his long shots to the basket. Manual at Garfield Friday, January 22. 1932 With the termination of the P ' remont game. lanual ' s championship was as- sured. Even though Garfield yet remained on the Toiler schedule, the Bulldog squad had played such mediocre basketball that they were not considered as a very serious threat to upset Armstrong ' s basketeers. The Artisans came through to record another decisive x ' ictory. the final score being ,S9 to 20. The final tally might have been greater, but for the fact that the local mentor chose to insert several of his substitutes into the frav. -Milton Linden led the basket shooting exhibition by registering more ])oints than at any time during the season. Straube played his usual fine all-around game. 26 THE ARTISAN S ' 32 Ckovv ' (; Crow. Paul Crow i)erfi niK-(l crcdital)!) ' at center mi all occasions.

While he was not always a spectacu- lar ])layer, nevertheless he produced the . oods. S ' lVaiiclav I ' icrsoii. I ' iersou was of douhle value to his team. When he was not in at center Coach Armstrong could find use for him at any position, knowing full well that the lanky star would deliver. Pierson is also lost for next season, having already departed from the local institution. He will be needed as much as any mem- ber that constituted the championship five. He may be heard from as a player on some college team in the very near future, as throughout his first year of active competition he showed great possibilities. Edciar Hesser has left the portals of Manual Arts, but the reputation he created as a manager for the local basketeers still remains. Hesser was both a willing and an efficient worker. He proved to be one of the best basketball mana- gers that Manual has ever had. His loss is greatly felt by the Toiler Club. Any mentor that can turn out a championship basketball team from apparently mediocre material has to be good. Coach Jimmy Armstrong did the trick when his Toiler quintet walked off with the City honors. The local coach had only one re- turning letterman from which to mold a winning squad. Critics predicted the Artisans to place a lucky third in the final City standings, luit Coach Armstrong upset all predictions. This will mark the termination of two years ' varsity coaching effort for . rmstrong. Next semester he holies to again place a successful team on tlie court. ATHLETICS 27 Straube I 1 x u Basketball Lettermen Captain lid Sh-aiihc. Ca])tain lul Stniiil)e was tlir one returnin.i; Ifttcniiau. Straiil)e was ()ri, inall - a class B Ijasketeer, playiiij; ' in liis first year (in a chanipidn ! ' ) team. The Toiler captain proved to be one of the jjremier guards in the City I(i i]). He not only led his team-mates to a City Championship but was chosen on the mythical all-city five. Straube gave one of the finest exhibitions of guard- ing seen in the local circuit during the Lincoln tilt. He was all over the court with his fine defensive play and accurate basket work. Milt Linden. Milt Lindon was the curly haired youth that proved to be the big mainstay of Coach Armstrong ' s team. The shifty forward was responsible in a large way for the squad ' s wonderful success. He was especially adept at scoring points and in passing. The last basketball season did not mark the first time he had com- peted for Manual ; but was his second year of active competition. His first semester was spent on the Class C quintet. Ronald Fitt. Ronald Fitt rounds out the list of outgoing lettermen. However his time at Manual has not been wasted as far as athletics are concerned. Fitt played on the same B team that Straube was on when it woti a city title. Ronnie deserves considerable credit for turning in splendid performances in the Tiger and Sheik games. The dark haired guard gave real exhibitions of the art of handling a basketball. He was chosen as a second string guard on the all-city selections. Too bad he has to wreck chances of having at least one returning stripe bearer. Sho lino. Little Sho lino was .small in stature but great in ability. The diminu- tive forward proved to be a real star in every contest in which he participated. He reached his playing peak during the Fairfax contest, where he starred as Manual ' s principal scoring threat. lino was so unfortunate as to be injured in the Fremont fray. He received a sprained ankle that kept him on the bench for the rest of the season. He will not be back next year, unfortunately, as he has already received his (lijiloma. 28 T 1 1 1 : A R T I S A N S • 3 2 Golf Team The Toiler golf team started the season by defeating Franklin. The next meet also resulted in an Artisan victory. This was against Lincoln on the hard Rancho course. Belmont forfeited their match to the Toilers, and chances for a Citv title loomed bright. ]?ut with the absence of John Duffy, the Poly golfers whitewashed Manual 5 to 0, Next week L. A. administered another beating to the locals. Their championship hopes gone, the mashie wielders did not become dis- couraged, but finished the schedule by defeating Fremont and Roosevelt. The team was composed of : Captain John Dufify, Fred Smith, Art Lott, Bert Congleton, Harold Newell and Herb Goldstein. Tennis Team .Manual ' s tennis teams seem U have a destiny already forecast, which will nut permit them to emerge victorious, except in a minorit}- of their games. This term was no exception. Ca])tain Junior Knox did the best that was in his ])ower, but tennis matches were continually dro])])ed. Jack Miller, Val Jean Slasor. and Joe Revitz formed the nucleus aliout which the Toiler tennis outfit was built. ' al Jean Sla.sor and Jack Miller formed the doubles team. One of the most impressive wins by the Toilers was recorded when the Jacob Riis racket wielders were completely humbled. Gym Team The gym team was again fortunate in having Harold Newell as their captain. Although the gymnasts did not win all of their meets, they enjoyed a very successful season. This was due in part to the excellent performances of some of the new members of the team. Coach Art Williams claims that next year will find the team in an excej.ition- ally good position to continue with its high record. Besides Captain Newell, some of the outstanding members of the team were: Howland Howe, a tumbler of remarkable merit ; Ed Gilbert, rings : Bill Crooks, club swing : and Bill Roberts, parallels and horizontal bars. The highlight of the season was the four-wav meet with IVdniont, Lincoln, and enice. In this meet the Toilers scored a con incing triumph. The most galling defeat was that administered by the powerful I ' olytechnic gym team, which year after yiar has sought to unthrone Manual as the greatest gym team in the south- land. Over a period of nine years Poly was the only team ever to defeat the Toil- ers, and then onlv twice. A T H L E T 1 C S 29 Toiler Club There is more preparation and perspiration behind an athletic e ent than the average spectator imagines. At Manual Arts the sometimes difficult task of setting tiie stage for a big meet is carried on by the Toiler Club. The Toiler Club is under the direction of Head Coach Sid Foster. It is an organization of boys who are willing to devote time after school to keep house for Manuals athletic machines. They form a grciu]) of managers of all athletic departments. This season ' s band has maintained a high order of efficiency and cooperation, and the Toiler Club deserves a hearty round of applause because of their work. Officers this term have included Bob Vance, president and athletic manager : Art Majester. vice-president: Therold Fielder, secretary-treasurer; Arlan Wessel, sergeant-at-arms. Yell Leaders During the i)ast term Manual ' s yell-leading clan consisted of Lucien Mather, yell king, and his two assistants, George Sherman and Jack Rosenberg. According to custom they were elected at a bleacher assembly. Each candidate stepped forward in turn and led the student body in yells, while a group of faculty members judged each men ' s performance. . lthough the hysteria and ballyhoo of the football season is out of place at a track meet, and enthusiasm in the bleachers is cut short by the pause between events, the boys certainly did their share in lending the team the moral support of the bleacherites. The yell-leaders travelled with the varsity team to all meets, and a represen- tative was present at all Bee and Cee meets. Their work during the season was tv])ical of the Toilers. Big M Society The lettermen are a recognized institution incorporated into what is known as the B.ig M Society. It is under the sponsorship of Coach Sid Foster and has existed for several vears. Each year its popularity has grown, until it is recognized as one of the leading organizations in the school despit the fact that it is strictl - an honor to be accorded membership. Ed Straube, famed basketball player, was elected president. His success as an executive may be marked by the ])opularity of the lettermen ' s dance. Glen Baker was vice-president; Tom W ' hally, secretary; and Joe Jacobs, sergeant-at-arms. The stripe bearers officially wear their coveted sweaters every Friday. This adds to the purple and grey colors that are flaunted by the student body on color day and helps li en the school ' s sometimes somber surroundings. 30 THE ARTISAN S ' 32 1 VjLr .

A ' 1 ' 1 1 L E T I C S 33 Varsity Track Faced with a lack of adequate sprinters, Coach Charles Toney opened the City League cami)aign by coaching liis men to a close verdict over the Jefferson Dem- ocrats. However the Toneymen were not given much of a chance by the sport critics. This failed to dampen .Artisan bojies for a successful track season and the var- sity went on to score victories in all but one dual meet. Included in this was the sur- ])rise upset of an overconfident I ' olytechnic team. Hollywood handed Manual its first defeat when the Redshirts earned a close win over the locals. Captain Ed l iske was lost most of the season. The Toiler leader had his heel badly spiked in the frosh meet with U. S. C. Bill Webb, Bill Comerford, Bud McBride, Rossiter, and Otis Grady proved to be the stars of the squad. N ' ebb was a real sensation. He captured a first in the City meet and then proceeded to annex a first in the So. Cal. Manual totaled 19 digits to take fourth place in the hotly contested city meet, llollvwood captured the first ])lace honors. Class B Track Again Coach Jim Blewett ' s short pantied athletes proved supreme in the City League controvesies. The Babes annexed decisi e victories in all dual meets and added still further glory to their unblemished record by capturing a first in the final results of the City meet. The Toilers have yet to suffer their first defeat in a dual encounter since the Bee division came into being. Two captains were elected to guide the destinies of their cinderijatb s q u a d. Herman Maulhardt was selected as field captain and Ralph received the track post. During the season the 1320 and .shot-put marks made by former Bee greats were dimmed by two real stars. Myers cracked the 1320 record and Mufich pushed the shot out further than any Manual athlete on the Bee squad had done hereto- fore. Class C Track Coach Jimmy Armstrong ' s class C cinder squad went through the entire schedule without a single set-back to mar a perfect record. This included victories in all dual meets and a close decision in the city finals. Captain George Takeoka was easily the star of his team. The pint-sized Toi- ler Captain competed in the 50 yd. dash. He anne.xed a first in the City meet when he covered the distance in 5.8. Xakahara, another sprinter, was the .Artisan star centur - man. The purple and grey runner won most of the races in the dual season and captured a second place in the City festivities. During the course of a prosi)erous season, Franklin w a s comjiletely over- whelmed when the Cees amassed a total of 70 and 2-i markers. The Printers were fortunate to score 6 and 1-3 points. 34 T II K A R T I S A X S ' 3 2 FiSKE Manual at Fremont Maiiuars varsitN- track sciuad added the finished touches to its short training period hy thumping Fremont in a practice meet ' 78 to 26. The relay was the only event captured by the Pathfinders. The Toiler sprint- ers surprised everyone by copping the 100 and sweeping the 220. although both races were slow. Carn led Peterson and Bodenhofer, invading duo, to the tape in the century in 10.6, while Carn, Steele and Jackson turned in a 23s. furlong shut-out. Besides the 220 the locals swept the low hurdles and mile. Yates was the team ' s leading scorer with a first in the high sticks and a second in the lows. Wilson and Grady shared the winning points in the high juni]). and Smalley boosted the iron ball 45 feet. 2 inches to win handily. Manual at Jefferson Capturing only five firsts out of twelve. Coach Toney ' s spikestcrs managed to shade Jefferson, 52 ' 3 to . Ot in the first league meet. McCoy. Jefferson hurdler, handed the meet to Manual by stumbling over a low hurdle and going uni laced. Bustamente, Yates and Etter swept the low sticks. Vaulting honors were shared equally by McBride. Rossiter. Lenahan an l Valen- tine, of Manual. Bill Webb ran 2:04.8. Wilton Comerford did 4:47.2, and Otis Grady jumjK ' d .T feet 10 inches to insure Manual triumphs in the S80. mile and high jump, respectively. Woefully weak in the sprints, the .Artisans were blanked in the dashes and relay. Two outstanding efforts were registered by the Toneynien in the field events, with Williams gliding 21 feet 3 inches in the broad jump to grab an une-xpected second and Frank Smallev surpassing all previous efforts in the shot put with a heave of 48 feet 2- 3 inches. AT 11 I.l- T ICS 35 City Relays Manual finished second in a fuur-way ig X tor varsity honors in the annual relay carnival at L. A. High, March 14. Their arch-eneiuies, the Pol - Mechanics, took first with 21 1-5 ])oints ; Manual amassed 16 1-2. Of the two records hroken in the Class A Division 1 relay events, the Artisans were responsihle for one. Baker, .Anderson, Wehh and Conierford, running the 440, f)( 0. 880 and mile, stepped the di.stance medley in 8:5S.4. While no official time was taken for each fraction of the race it is said that Baker ran 53 seconds flat. Anderson did 1 :28, Wehli .stejiped 2:00.4, and Comer- ford galloped 4 ■.?i7. McBride and Kossiter, vaulters, placed among the leaders in open competi- tion. Rossiter did 11 feet 10 inches to take third, and McBride tied for fourth at 1 1 feet, 4 inches. Polvtechnic supplied the real jnuich of the performance by collecting the 4-man 440 relav honors in 42.7. Roosevelt at Manual Capturing every event except the 100 and the low hurdles, the Manual Arts tracksters turned in an easy 84 to 20 triumph over Roosevelt in the second league meet. Bill Comerford provided the feature of the tangle by trimming Johnny Wall, Roughrider riot, in 4:36 in the mile, hanging up the fastest time of the season in Southern California. The Toneymen annexed thirteen digits in the s])rints, and took the relay, Init the opposition was decidedly mediocre. Anderson, Baker and Harper swept the quarter, and Chuck Turner and Bill Webb picked up eight points in the half mile. The Smalley-Rorison-Havvkins trio dominated the shot put, and Grady and Romero took seven points in the high jump. Lenahan, Rossiter, McBride and alentine turned in a shut-out in the pole-vault, and ' allens, Cramer and Nance had a monopoly on honors in the broad jump. 36 THE ARTISAN S ' 32 GR n ' Ivni.i ' Lenahax Mc liuiiu Manual at Poly The great Poly spikesters. kings of all things in the track world, who had shaded the Toilers in meet after meet the year hefore, were caught najjping in the most surprising meet of the season. The champions lost out in a thrilling battle which found the locals winning liy a 52 5-6 to 51 1-6 score. l)ud AIcl ride, a hero of the meet, vaulted twelve feet, tying Rossiter for first. The Toilers ' eight and a half points in this event gave them the winning margin. Sefton of Poly previously was heralded as the best vaulter in the citv. In the broad jump Williams surpassed all previous efforts with leap of 21 feet 4 inches. Cramer took a surprising second. Smalley in the shot and Frampton in the high jump were also winners. The Toilers tallied 29 5-6 out of a possible 36 points in field events. On the cinder path, Webb ran a great half mile in 2:02.1. Turner checked in third. Bill Comerford and Art Saterfield ran one-two in the mile, (ilen Baker and Carl Anderson took six points in the 440. Don Cam surprised with a third in the furlong. Spates managed to take third in both the hurdle races. Belmont at Manual The Belmont Sentinels, fourth foe of the Toiler tribe, took a convincing 78 1-2 to 1? 1-2 lacing on Wilson Field. Gordie Miner, Belmont bullet, copped the century and Cjuarter. while Fox won the high jump. All other events were dominated by the locals. Bill Steele led the Toiler tracksters, copping the furlong and finishing second in the hundred. Marineau and Comerford grabbed the mile markers. Bustamente and ' ates won the low and high hurdle honors respectively. With Smalley out of the shot-put, Clarence Washington won the event, and Hawkins and Rorison also placed. McBride, Valentine and Rossiter split the vaulting points. Grady was humbled in the high jump for the first time, for he only tied for second. allens and Wilianis took the first two spots in the broad junij). AT II LET I C ' S 37 X ' allens Hollywood at Manual SuccuinlMiig before a band of vastly uacler-rated tracksters from Hollywood, Coach Charles Toney ' s aggregation dropped their only dual meet of the season, 58 1-3 to 45 2-3. Unexpected victories by Nimmo, in the mile, and Donaldson, in the shot, provided the winning margin for the visitors. Chuck Nimmo tmunced I ' ill Conierfonl handily in the mile, finishing strong to hang up a 4:37.2 mark. Xinnno, according to coaches Foster and Comstock, noted track authorities, is one of the greatest local pre]) milers. lack Coverly showed worlds of class in co])ping the 100 and 440 and blighting the Toiler hopes in botli events. Cajjtain Truesdale won both barrier events with ease. The highlights of the meet, from the Toilers ' standpoint, were Webb ' s smash- ing 2:01.6 victorv in the half-mile; the clean sweep in the pole vault by McP ride, Rossiter, Lenahan an l a!einine; the sevoi iHiints tallied by Crady and Lawrence in the high jump. Franklin at Manual The Franklin Printers proved .but the weakest sort of opposition for the Toiler track squad in the final dual meet of the season. Coach Toney ' s spikesters rolled uj) a total of 83 1-2 points to their opponents ' insignificant 20 1-2. Ten first places were annexed by the Toney tribe with but very little effort. In fact some of the athletes had instructions to conserve their energy for the city meet. Don Carn, blond .sprint ace. .snagged a fir.st in the century in the fair time of 10.4. The diminutive runner coasted acro s the riblmn in the furhjng e enl lor an easy first place tie with Bill Steele. Manual swept honors in the shot-pushing struggle. Frank Smalle) ' coi)])ed an undisputed first, and Hawkins followed him for the second award. 38 THE ARTISAN S COMERI ' ORD Saterfiklu iUSTAMENTE City Meet Although Manual ' s showing in the city meet was somewhat disappointing to Toiler fans, the efforts of some of the boys were cause of a hearty round of ap- plause. Bill Wel)l), the fair-haired boy of the Toiler squad was the cause of great ex- citement. At the end of the first lap he was way in the rear. Then he started to sprint. By the time the race had culminated, Webb was the victor by yards. Grady in the high jump and Comerford in the mile also were prominent fac- tors in making the Toiler score what it was. Hollywood pulled a slight surprise when they annexed the ineet honors by rolling up a score of forty-one and one-half digits. Polytechnic was a close second with thirty-nine and one-half markers. Another surprise was registered when Bill Comerford failed tn nab better than a third in the mile. Nimnio was closely followed across the ribbim by the highly touted Wall of Roosevelt, Williams made his customary good showing for Manual by leaping for enough in the broad jump to be awarded a fourth. Rossiter broke the existing pole vault record at Manual by elevating himself 12 feet 8 inches. This was his best effort of the season so far. McBride also bettered the record by vaidting 12 feet 6 inches. A Til LET ICS 39 Frampton The Track Men Capt. Ed Fiskc. In tliu Frush meet ILd had the misfortune of liein ' spiked. His loss was a real hlow to Coach Toney. This was P iske ' s second year of varsity com]ietition. Carl Anders }!!.

Bill ' el)l) ])ro ed himself a champion in the 880 as Saterfield was before him. Bill Comci-ford. The tradition of great distance runners from Manual was car- ried on l)y Bill Comerford. one of the league ' s greatest milers. Ralph McBridc. Manual ' s customary weakness in the pole ault was erased by the work of Bud McBride. who cleared 12 feet 6 this season. Descry Rossiter. McBride ' s vaulting mate, Rossiter, improved with every meet, until he soared 12 feet 8 inches in the city meet. Reginald jrHlianis. Reggie was one of the season ' s surprises. He l)roke the school record and l)eforc the close of the season came through with a leap of 22 feet 5 inches. Glen Baker. Glen also coniiieted in the quarter mile and finished the season with a very good record. Baker was on the varsity last year. Otis Grady. Ote was old consistency himself. He was able to challenge the su- premacy of any high jumper in the league. Grady ' s best height was registered in the city preliminaries. He cleared six feet. Kenneth ] ' ates. . s our Ijest high stick man Yates delivered in creditable style and also competed in the low hurdles. Marin Bnstamciitr. Little P ustamente had to rely a great deal on speed rather than form in order to garner points for the locals. He deserves considerable credit for his efforts. Ray I ' aliens.

The feature sports this term have been basketball, speedball, and baseliall. One of the athletic events of the term was the Ijasketball game between the G. A. A. alumna and the active niemljers. The game was played for enjoyment rather than competitive purposes. The main social event of the term was the annual banquet, held on March 14. The decorations were carried out in class colors, each class having a separate table. Class songs and yells completed the atmosphere of camaraderie. Girls ' Big M Society This society, acting in conjunction with the Big M Society, is an honorary clul) for those girls who are athleticly inclined. To become a member a girl must have the required 800 jjoints, which are gained by making one or more various teams, such as baseball, speedball or basket- ball. Besides athletic ability a girl must have high scholastic standing, attaining all recommending grades. The final requirement is that she pass the Approvement Board, composed of Dr. Wilson. Miss Hanna. and Coach Foster. The members this term were : Lorna Beauchamp, Lois Roberts, Anita Dunn, Yvonne Smelser, Peggy .Swinborne, Esther Rosenstein, Lennie Moore, Lydia Rebec. Elizabeth Young, and Dorolh} ' Fothergill. Girls ' Rifle Team The girls ' rifle team sponsored by Sergeant Littler, developed many accurate marksmen this term. The team worked under the difficulty of having only two returning girls, Mary Todd and Mary McDonald. The requirements for membership are: Recommended grades in gym: ap- ])roval of head of girls ' gym deiiartment. Miss Ge])hart : and a member of All or Senior homeroom. Their practice days are Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays ; one-third of the girls firing on the range each day. In firing, the positions practiced are the prone, sitting, kneeling, and standing. There is no outside competition, as Manual Arts neither attended or gave any playdays this term. The personnel of the team is as follows: ALirgaret . ckerman. Dorothy Allers, A dele Brockman.

Tennis develops a masculine hicep, golf lends an ungainly stride, and riding is conducive to broad hips. This to the masseuse is a hideous Arm muscles too big? Never? Give us a race of women with the arm muscles of a welterweight boxer rather than the race of starved, flat-chested, ' boyish creatures that happily are leaving the stage of fashion. Ungainly hips? Great heavens ! Glance at the family album once and survey the corsetted belles of the furious 80 s. Broadness of hips lent charm in those hale and hearty days, and no saddle ever produced the effect that a murderous mass of whalebone can. In that old album there is a simple lesson that everyone should realize. It is that fashion changes with each passing hour. We laugh at the fashions of another generation, but our own may be scorned within a few years. Not just ignored, but scorned. Fashion is what we make it. The African belle with her distended lips is charming to the men of her tribe because the tribe has made such lips an ideal of beautv. And were all the women of Hollywoofl to ha e huge muscles and the gait of a Percheron. that would be the ideal (jf the masseuse who shuddered at the u.gly effects of athletics. Through fashions may change, fashion will not taboo the golf club, the tennis rac |uet and like sym))ols of women ' s freedom. Women ha e been several thou- sand years in gaining those weapons, and they will cling to them for some time. A finer, healthier concept of a finer, healthier girl has evolved, and the more who take U) the golf club, the better. If women hadn ' t asserted their right to health the L ' nited States wouldn ' t have made such a showing in the last Olympic Games. It was points that . merican women gleaned in competition with their sisters from Canada, Germany and other nations that swelled the American score to its impressive total. American men are not backward in expressing pride in their w(jmen. When Glenna Collett dons her golfing togs and sallies forth to capture another champ- ionshi]) the sportswriters beam with personj l pride. So do they beam when Mrs. Helen Wills Moody, a sober hurricane in a white ensemble, sweeps through the brackets of international tennis competition. So do they cheer at the feats of Helene Madison, Jose])hine McKim. Georgia Coleman and others when they ]ier- form in a swimming ])ool. There is a great deal of heckling about women ' s encroachment in the business world, but few men begrudge women the right to athletic glory. They stand ready to back their women against the world.

What may or can one say to the Athenians, the inhaljitants of that ancient city that stands out as a light- house in the sea of ancient history; that city which developed a culture and civiliza- tion so high and nohle that we moderns have been able to add only some mechanical developments particularly in rapidity of communication and ' transportation ; that city which contributed more supremely great men than any country in the world ' s history. . 11 I can say is that the members of this graduating class set before them- selves a high ambition when they chose to be identified as Athenians. The young Athenians as Ephebians subscribed to the oath to fight for the ideals and sacred things of their fair city, both alone and with many, and to transmit the city not only not less but greater, lietter and more beautiful than it had been trans- mitted to them. ith such ideals we are proud to commend you to the greater city about us after your sojourn in this .school city which has ever been ap]ireciative of your citizenship and grateful for your contributions to our community life.

For you. the Athenian class of S ' 32, your high school period is the Golden Age of youthful opportunity. Profit by all you can learn from it ; take from it all honest and legit- imate pleasure; use its experiences, both joyous and bitter, for positive, personal ujibuilding. Your choices of today will determine your standards of tomorrow. Your (iolden .Age will reward you later with valid returns of health, happiness and self-respect, or remind you of wasted efforts on counterfeit attractions. Guard the good things of Nour present age that you may have goodness, truth, and beauty with vou always. [es.sik Ray 1 1ann.

This suggests a good system to he followed hy the members of the Athenian class in the game of life. This system would include a definite choice of a life career, a choice made after a careful analysis of one s natural tastes and abilities. and after a survey of the opportunities for service wliich lie within the field of these natural abilties. Then a consciously planned course of training, diligently fol- lowed, till the necessary skills are developed and the judgment matured to justify an entrance into the game of life. This training must also include a mastery of the rules which make it a life worth living. Through this training, and also, as a result of our experiences, should come the realization that the most sportsmanlike way to play the game of life is through coo])eration, rather than through selfish indivi- dtialism.

First, and most important, we learn that which is given us in our hooks. Hut while we are learning from our books we are also learning things from ex])erience. The one thing my e.xperience has taught me is in short this : to take advantage of every little opportunity, and not to let anything, no matter how important it may seem, hinder my education. Manual offers unlimited opportunities, and every stu- dent here should take advantage of them. I wish to thank every member of the student body for the splendid support, cooperation, and spirit each has shown. A term or an administration can be a success only through the efforts of the students. They ha e made this term the success it is.

The federation is exjjanding each year, for membership in the C.S.F. is liecoming more and more coveted by students because of the many adAantages gained from such affiliation. The membership of Chapter Five for this semester includes 38 boys and 79 girls. ( )f this number, fourteen students were awarded the C.S.F. pin at the Schol- arshi]) Assembly and fourteen additional students had their honor awards deferred until Rally Day pending their satisfying certain further requirements Dr. Fred- rick W ' oellner, Professor of Education at U.C.L.A., who recently returned fro m a trip around the world, was the dynamic speaker for Scholarship Assemlily, In an effort to stimulate scholarship within the student body, the society con- centrated on the HIO class, sending speakers to inform the students new to Manual of the aims of the C.S.F., and awarding a banner to the BIO homeroom which was most successful in eliminating failures. Futhermore it awarded a silver cup to John Adams junior high school because of the superior scholastic and citizenship record of her BIO students. The outstanding social event of the term was the Gold Seal luncheon in lay, which was attended by the entire society and invited guests. Officers for the term are as follows: president, John Loomos ; girls vi c e- president, Frances Jen Ritchie; boys ' vice-president, Ray ' allens ; secretarv, Wini- fred Thompson ; and treasurer, Lennie Moore. Miss Ida Jones, Mr. Newton and Miss McLaughlin were the facultv advisers. O R (i A i 1 Z A T IONS 61 The Spectator The Spectator, now in its fifth year, offers a wide field for puhhcation of original literary effort. Originally conceived as an organ for expressing the creative work of a single class, it has g r o w n to be the medium for publication of original work of the entire school. Three issues are pulilished each term, each in excess of 1 500 copies. A successful term was assured when the staff was chosen, consisting of Thayer Westlake, editor; John Carson, business manager; Freida Eisenstein, Billie McFadden. Mary () ven. Lydia Rebec, John Mills, and Arthur Eslick, associate editors. Several new features were inaugurated this term, among them, a BIO page. All of the materia! for this page was gleaned from the former junior high school students. Another new feature was the character sketches of Dad Maynard, Mrs. Adams-Fisher, and Mrs. Trummer, the two latter being members of tile original faculty at Manual. These sketches are the first of a long series. Stod Herlsert served as staff artist. Mrs. Iris Field and Miss Ethel Sykes, as advisers, did the supervising. T H E A R T I S A N S ' 3 O UC, A X I Z A T I ( 1 X S 63 54 THE A R T 1 S A N S ' 3 2 JAPAN PLAYS THE GAME Bv Lenxie Moore AI ' AX IS A iNIYSTICRH )L S LAND nf quaint charm and courtesy, where 1 fine 1)1(1 traditions h(jld sway. Ihit new, vital Japan is slowly displacing- the 11 old. The growini;- movement of youth demands excitement, and goes in - strong for athletics. Japan is one of the few countries of the I ' ar East that is eager to adopt bright ideas of other lands. (Jf all things, Japan is playing baseball! (Jur national sport has become almost as popular there as it is in America. Their cities and their col- leges have teams and leagues much the same as ours. Even in games these courteous easterners don ' t forget the sportsmanship that is traditional with them. When a game of baseball is over, the players of both teams go to the home plate, line up on opposite sides and bow to each other and then to the uniiiire. Disparagement of any sort seems to have no place in their make-up. iajjanese have long been famous for swordsmanship, and fencing is another of their popular sports. ' Kenjitsu, is its official name. The opponents are usually barefoot and wear (lueer masks that cover their faces and necks. Among other western sports that seem to have gained a foll owing in Japan are basketball, rowing, and football. The last is played more in the manner of Rugby than in the well known American way. Horse racing arouses a great deal of enthusiasm at the curious racetracks. And of course, there is swimming, in which Japan has brought home honors more than once. But despite the popularity of games which have been introduced from the West, sumo or wrestling, remains the national sport. For a great many years wrestling matches were the features of both funerals and weddings. At Tokyo and Osaka, thousands of people attend the matches, which last for days. The art of jiu-jitsu is quite different from wrestling. It teaches methods of self-defense and at the same time it imparts a great deal of mental poise, requir- ing as it does, self discipline. It gives a more complete control over the muscles of the body than perhaps any other system of physical culture. Jiu-jitsu is one of the original Japanese arts that has spread through America and Europe and gained many followers. In Tokyo, the Meiji Shrine is an artistic masterpiece. Surrounding it is an immense park of giant pines and oaks that carry the visitor back a thousand years. But just outside we find evidence of the spirit of the present in a large stadium and ball park, tennis courts and every facility for modern sports. Yes, Japan is successfully combining and harmonizing the new and old. Each day for the Japanese youth is filled with activity, mental and physical. Sons of the Rising Sun are growing. Their qualities of agility and courage are growing. Athletics added to the ever-present self-control and courtesy is creating a new personality of pep and energy that is building for Japan a tougher, stronger race. SENIORS 66 T 1 1 E A R T I S A N S ' 3 2 Senior President ' s Message Athens, the immortal capital of the Greek nation, was noted for its sturdy, dauntless inhabitants. These hardy people, although primarily engaged in the battles and wars of the day, possessed a love of things of an artistic nature. Their democratic principles enabled them to erect an edifice which still exists. In adopting a class name, such as Athenians, one idea was paramount, not to destroy but to leave something behind that would be of use to other graduating classes. I earnestly believe that the Athenians, as a single unit, were of real benefit to Manual Arts. They tried as the seniors of the school to promote a spirit of fellowship and sincerity of purpose that would exist even after they had abandoned the purple and gray portals. Ed Giov. nnetti. S I .

HERBERT 114 T 11 I ' , A R T 1 S A X S ' 3 2 Before the Senior Year In thinking- back over the span of history which the mighty Athenians have so brilliantly made, one is reminded of the old adage, ' AVell begun is half done. We entered Manual great in numbers but twice again as great in spirit and de- sire for all a high school has to offer. Thus our spirit in the beginning has made our obstacles all through the years seem only half as great as they would have been if our aims had been mediocre. We really assembled as a class for the lirst time when that wicked English Ex. beckoned us to 265. However, it was unable to conquer us. and we passed on to our first social event, the All party. At that very gay and snappy gathering we obtained the recognition of the whole of Manual as a class that aimed to do things. With Glenn Coyle and Billie Fern Whitten as host and hostess, how could anyone even dare to think that the party was other than successful ? Track season added a new brilliance to those up and comin All ' s, for our fellows made enviable showings on the cinderpath. As the term approached its close, plans began in earnest for the coming Senior semester. Voting became our favorite sport as we chose the class colors and name. After our jireparations for seniors were ended the term very naturally closed. The Senior B Semester What a thrill it was to gather in 2S3. five hundre l strong, after a great vaca- tion, as .Senior Bees. After the business of enrollment closed, we concentrated on elections. Cjlenn Coyle was unanimously elected president. Kay Clatworthy and Harold Newell became vice-presidents, Jenny Piazyouros secretary, and Warren Thompson money-manager. Oiu ' career was begun b ' planning a goofl time and then having it. Notice that it is just what hai)pened a t our ])icnic in .South Park. There was so much laughter and gaiety, and so many speedy games that the drowsx ' occujiants of the park benches moved on in search of new sleeping grounds. On October 23 all seniors witnessed a homecoming assembly for the first time. The many successful men and women who were our guests that day inspired us to do bigger and better work.

This event, which hails the closing of the term, set our views a bit ahead, and we turned to Student Body elections. The Senior B term was a most happy one for all Athenians, and the Athenian class faced the Senior A term with the natural determination to make that last period eclipse the brilliance of all the earlier periods, The Senior A Semester The first event in the Senior A program was the election ot officers. Ed (Jiovannetti became president, Kay Clatworthy and Franklyn Klein, vice-presidents, Jennie Bazyouros secretary, and Alton Gage treasurer. From the depths of studies we emerged to meet upon the bleachers and hail the Baby Pilots with friendly yells and songs. In the athletic contests the men of Athens suffered an unusual defeat. The logical reason seemed to be that the god- dess, Athena, refused to intervene and promote a victory because there were no girls allowed in the games ; she is very fond of girls ! Time and fate next placed us at the mercy of the Senior ability test. This was easily conquered however, and the Adelphic Assembly came along with its snappy play, At Two A. 1. and lively musical and dance numbers. The customary gay and glamorous social season of the graduating class started on April 22 with the Athenian Dance. The Seniors felt that it was the season for parties at the beach so lo, and behold, we turned the boys ' gym into the most beautiful and suitable beach for a sport dance that was ever seen. Next was the very lovely Faculty-Senior A Reception which each student attended during his free period. The pictures of the Senior Classes which we received will keep this event long in our memories. The Olympic Artisan in silver and black was a significant achievement in setting up new and higher standards in annual publications for other Senior Classes to emulate. Roland Lawrence, Boh Ridgway and the staff have performed a unique service in getting out the better book. The Senior play, The Royal Family of Broadway, displayed the fine dramatic talent and interest of the class. Rally Day found us presented as a class dressed in our famous sweaters f or the final time at Manual. Part of the graduation program was presented also, and it made us feel almost as if we were alumni already. With a magnificent Shrine Auditorium, a magnificent group of graduating Manualites, and the magnificent Athenian spirit, the graduation on the evening of June 16 was one of the greatest solemnity and splendor. An M design was shown in pastel shades and black and as the voices resounded in, All Hail Our Alma Mater, we marched out with our diplomas to return as students at Manual no more. Our .Senior Class leaves Manual with the hoijc that by some word or deed we may have helped the .school of which wc are so proud to go . . . Forward on the Wings of Progress.

The name ( )xfor l unfolds a mental picture of a ri er scene on 15oat Race !)a -. Two lean racing shells go surging up the Thames with a rliythmic flash of oars, while on the river hank a nation glories in the spectacle, shouting for lo -e of Oxford or cheering the light hlue of Cambridge. Sixteen strong young men who have lived this day in tlieir dreams, grij) their oars, bend their l)acks and pull against the water. E.ach pair of eyes is focused u])on the swaying back ahead, each mind dwells upon the movement of oars, while the sweat pours from hot faces, and straining muscles slowly weaken. England passes by — England. whose men have gone down to the sea in ships and brought back glory and gold. Boat Race Day ! What does it mean to Englishmen ? Young men whose dreams are not yet shattered, staid, silk-hatted Parliament Members, square-jawed, toil-worn men whose lives have been broken on the wheel of service — why do they cherish visions of Boat Race Day? The young graduate whose footsteps are unheard in the clamor of the Strand, and the worn soldier on the lilistered decks of a gunboat in the East — why do they see with the same eyes the boat crews on the Thames ? The Oxford men who shouldered out-moded carbines and laid down their lives in the path of a war-machine sweeping toward the lodestar of an empire-builder — what did Boat Race Day mean to them? It meant all England I All the pom]) and pageantry, all the glorious tradition of a seafaring race of warriors were embodied in that river scene. All the youth, the manliness of England were symbolized by those crews. There is in crew racing something undeniably English, something intangible, something that words never fully explain. There is not a more hitter test of en- durance, courage and determination in the realm of sports. No other sport de- mands such thorough preparation of mind and body. Truly it reflects the courage, the tenacity, the splendid ideals that have made the name and the achievements of that island nation, England, what they are. The great war bled England of her men and wealth, bled her so fearfully that years will pass before the nation recovers. Across the sea from Canada and up from South Africa have come young men, the descendants of Englishmen, to best England ' s fairest. But tax-burdened, poverty-stricken, politically-embattled England carries on. Englishmen still lead the world in the quest for speed. Englishmen unceasingly seek new worlds, new knowledge. .And beating down the channels of all the ports over all the world go English ships and English sailor men, while on the Thames the young men dip their oars and row beneath blue-gray skies.

Couiiling a dynamic president in Milton Linden with the sagacity of the adviser, Mr. Hodge, this organization surpassed the works of the past Senior Hi- Y ' s. Aims for the furthering of finer sportsmanship, the betterment of school life, and the construction of a finer feeling among the boys of Manual reveal in a small way the gigantic tasks this club sets itself to do. Although the maximum number of members the club can have is fifty, this semester they number but forty. The chief social events that the Senior Hi-Y ]iarticipated in this semester were the semi-annual Dance, Faculty night. Track Lettermen ' s I anquet, and Girls ' night. The co-workers of Milton Linden were : George L nderhill, vice-i)resident ; Tom Whalley, secretary ; Ed ( jiovannetti, treasurer ; Joe Jacolis, sergeant-at-arms. Mr. Hodge is the adviser. L ' L l ' [ S 121 The Senior Forum The Senior Forum tluring the past semester engaged in many outstanchng ac- tivities of forensic interest. In the puhhc-speaking contests at Manual and in inter- scholastic debating the club was well represented. .Members of the organization were entertained at several social functions. At the beginning of the term a get acquainted party was held which started off the new semester with real spirit, and the semi-annual luirum l)ani|uet climaxed a very successful year. Much of the .Senior Forum ' s success must be attributed to an excellent cabinet. The officers were: John Loomos, president; Alton Gage, boys ' vice-president; Vir- ginia Bunker, girls ' vice-president ; Bernice Holtzman, secretary ; Bill Etter, treas- urer; and Serrill ( lerber, sergeant-at-arms. Mr. Moore is faculty adviser. The Debate Squad Debating at Manual has gained tremendous momentum during the past year. The debate squad engaged in deljates with Santa Ana, Franklin, San Diego, and Jefferson. They won all their league debates except one, the sole defeat being ad- ministered by the Santa Ana team, which won a close decision over the Artisan squad. Debating affords excellent training in clear thinking and effective speech. The questions debated covered such wide range of interest as the World Court, marriage and divorce laws, and unemployment insurance. The members of the squad are : Marian Dix. Arthur Fslick, Ellis James, Alex Klein, and Jack ' ineberg. ' ineberg acted as debate manager. THE ARTISAN S ' 32 The Latin Club Each year the Contio, or Latin Cluh. aims to carry out some definite project. This year the clulj featured the BIO pu])ils, and in this way another purpose of the chib was attained, namely, to give students an (ip] nrtunity to sIkiw their abilities by appearing on programs. The U]iper grade students also have been active in club work. The Vergil class presented a comedy in the form of a television program based ujion episodes from Vergil ' s Aeneid. The Cicero class protrayed Roman life and customs by giving scenes from two Latin plays. The Roman Wedding, and Tirones. The A-10 students have cooperated 1)y ])resenting excellent musical numbers on club programs. The Latin Club has .shown its interest in athletics l)v staging its own rallies under the leadership of its yell leader, and by s])onsoring both a girls ' and boys ' basketball team. The club jiins are a replica in gold of the Roman fasces ; the clu!) song is Santa Lucia and the motto is Labor Amnia Vincit. The cabinet of the Latin Club for this year is as follows : Eloise Russel, consul ; Everett Marling, praetor ; Barbara S])eer, censor ; ' al Jean Slasor, quaestor ; Robert Adkisson. centurio : and Emil Sady, du.x clamandi. The splendid advisor- ship of Miss Cronkhite has been of great assistance to the club.

R I DC, WAV nrHE ROAR UF THE CROWD; and a lean ghost with a graven face tirelessly pacing off the metres, in his effortless stride a majestic grace L that holds an individual thrill for every eager soul packed in the stadium. It is Paavo Nurmi running, his spiked shoes rhythmically stal)hing the track as he swoops to a record, his only foe the stop-watch in his hand. No athlete of modern times has so dominated his field as Nurmi. whose achieve- ments mark him as the greatest figure of all time in track and field. He has run in two Olympiads and toured the world, hreaking every distance record in existence. He at one time held the world record at one, two, three, four, and five miles, and at ,?000, 5000, and 10,000 metres. At Amsterdam he set an Olympic record in the 10,000 metre run on Sunday, ran trial heats at 5000 metres on Tuesday, competed in a 3000 metre steeple-chase on Wednesday, and after injuring himself in the latter evetit, still ran the 5000 metre finals on Friday and took second to his countryman, Ritola. crossing the finish within twelve seconds of his world record. When he was considered through as a runner he returned in 1930 to set a world record at 20,000 metres and in 1931 broke the world record for two miles. In the coming Olympiad he will compete in the two longer races, for his speed is failing. He may win both, and so close his glorious career with a double victory, in the 10,000 metre run and the marathon. All the world wishes him success. Nurmi comes from a land so impoverished, so beset by the evil forces of nature, so split by political dissension that the world is amazed to see the little nation yield runners who assail records with such ease. Three times Finland has placed second to the United States in the record of points won in track and field. Yet Finland ' s runners are factory workers, men who must train before breakfast and after dinner, trotting along the slushy roads with a bitter wind driving the blood from their faces. They have no coaches, no equipment, not even a throng of well-wishers to cheer as they pass. They have only determination. Political factions are so bitterly opposed that half the great athletes of Finland never enter the Olympic Games because they do not adhere to the party in power. Yet these factory workers plod along the roads in the chill twilight and become the marvels of the world ' s distance runners. The weak fall aside ; the strong become indestructible and go forth to glory. Here comes Nurmi down the back-stretch on the last lap. The crowd roars its approval ; the echoes crash back from the walls of the stadium. Unheeding, the man holds his steady, heart-breaking stride. His thoughts center on the movement of his legs, the rise and fall of his chest, the mechanical swing of his body. The tape looms meters ahead ; the world ' s best runners are panting far behind. There is no spectacular sprint, no mad pounding of spikes ; only the continuance of that monotonous stride. It is Nurmi, it is Finland coming to the tape, Finland, waging a dreary battle but a glorious one against all the bitter forces of the earth. 1-°?.; ::::-- — f ss fc::.:r... .•r:3i....j r v s. . , . •..

Un it is carved a human form, ravaged by time. Surrounding the figure, and in letters hardly discern- ible, is a story of ancient Greece. . . . Nemeas was of Athenean descent. In his boyhixjd he had witnessed the fes- tival at Olympia and had dreamed since that time of the day when he should participate in the sacred games. But he was fragile and he knew that he must Iniild up his body in order to compete, liis father died while he was still young, and left the son a small fortune which enabled him to enter a reputable gymnasium. For six years Nemeas worked like a machine, day and night, strengthening his muscles and preparing, always preparing. ... At last he felt that he was ready. He applied for entrance in the foot-race, and received permission to be one of the competitors. During his sojourn at the gymnasium, he had made a close friendship with a youth from Sparta, one called Corsices. Corsices too was training to run in the race; he too was swift and skillful with his legs. But he was not like lightning — he was not Nemeas! Corsices, however, aspired to even greater heights than his friend. The overwhelming ambition to possess the signet of Ephebia consumed him. He locked his secret in his heart, but the distant vision of his eye betrayed his longing. . . . Nemeas knew The eventful day dawned with Nemeas treading the floor of his room restless- ly. Desire conflicted with sacrifice. What would be the outcome? Which would be the victor? He dared not to think. The blood t h n n d e r e d in his brain with the turmoil of his soul Time was passing The games, with an assemlilage of the finest specimens of bodily perfection, the choicest fruit of all Greece, started in Elis when the sun ' s rays were bright enough to flood light on every living thing. After prayer for courage and endur- ance in the Temple of Zeus, the contestants anointed their liodies with invigorating oil and made preparations, each for his own contest. Corsices remained kjnger in the Temple than the others. Haggard, worn, his face betrayed the struggle witliin. At the moment designated, the signal was given, and the foot-race began. Nemeas took the lead at once. He passed tall, dark trees, fields dotted with wild flowers, fresh farm cottages. The morning In-eeze cooled his burning cheeks. He looked behind. Corsices was in the rear. He flung back his head and breathed deeply. In that second he decided. He slowed his pace. Corsices was coming closer. He heard shouts urging him on ; he shut his ears resolutely to them. Corsices was at his heels. He barely moved now. The shouts grew louder. Corsices waved to liini, and left liini behind. S T n i A X I) ' I ' . R S F. 1. 1 To avert siispicidii, W ' lncas a ain s])e l ahead. Tlu ' shouts turned to cheers, lie va ed to (. orsiees. and left him hehind. Hut the llyini; feet of C ' orsiees were l)chaving miraculously, and the people began to wonder, though thiv knew that Nemeas was the better. When he retreated, the other advanced. The last mile determined the winner. It was Nemeas ' chance. He lessened his speed gradually, almost imperceptibiy. Corsices flew past. Nemeas sighed deeply. The olive-brach was lost to hini. The crowds went wild with entlnisiasm at the finish, and bore Corsices away in triumph. The malicious staged to nmck and sneer at Xemeas. Coward, coward! they cried. He fled .... That night Nemeas roamed the streets, seeking solace in (juiet and solitude. His dream had been shattered, the ambition of his life ruined. He had s])ent all of his money. He was heartbroken and disgraced — an outcast among his people! What a world of humiliation and suffering had torn him in one day! And how much would come afterwards? .... Gloomy thoughts furrowed into his mind. . . . They were interrupted by a gentle hand on his shoulder. . . . Nemeas. . . . He recognized the voice. He could bear no more. He turned on his heel, but the owner of the voice caught his hand and pressed it feelingly. He could not resist glancing back when he reached the corner, and he saw Corsices ' eyes — eyes which needed no words to say what they said. He was content. He had been rewarded. . . Five years eiai se. We find Nemeas in shifting scenes, changing atniosjihere. He had become a vagabond who took things as they came, nonchalantly — a man in- different to normal living. Devoid of money, shelter, food much of the time, ne wasted away his life on this earth. Purposely? Perhajjs. . . . War was declared between Athens and Sparta. Having nothing else to do and being willing to die, Nemeas offered his services as a soldier. In one of the fier ' battles between the two armies he received a s]iear-wound, and, unconscious, covered with blood, but not yet dead, he was left with the dead liodies on the battle- field from which the Athenians retreated in defeat. As night approached the Spartans crept across the gruesome plain to strip the corpses of weapons and whatever else they found of value. Among them was Cor- sices. He was collecting his share of the spoils when he fell over the body of Ne- meas. The hand of fate! He bent over the stiff form, and the shock of recognition electrified him. Could it be possilile that this creature before him was the Nemeas he had known ? . . . . He raised the head tenderly and jiassed his hand over the hair, the hair that he had loved so dearly. He saw through tears. He tried to check the blood gushing out of the wound. It was useless. The livid lips ])arted, twitched in agony, formed words which were never sounded. The fi.xed orbs opened, stared at the stranger. A faint light flickered in them for a moment — in that moment did he know? — then they closed for the last time. The head rolled limply to one side. The s]iirit of Nemeas had flown. He died in the arms of his most bitter enem ' . Struck bv the tragedy, Corsices told as much as he ne v about him and circu- lated the storv through Athens. Too late the city realized that thev had stoned a 132 T U ]-: A R T I S A X S ' 3 2 man because he had resisted temptation, when he had been loyal and unselfish. But the praises that might have been sung before his death were multiplied many times afterwards. All Athens paid tribute to the man who conquered himself. They erected a magnificent memorial to him, and, no doubt, that column was the remain- ing vestige to the greatness of his soul. There Is Gold in the Golden West By Booth Woodruff There ' s the rush and the roar of hurried feet, There ' s an oath and a ribald jest, There ' s a leaping flame from the pistol ' s mouth : There is gold in the golden West! There ' s fe erish haste with the cradled dirt. There ' s the urge of wealth ' s mad zest, There ' s a yellow stream from the age old sands : ' There is gold in the golden West!

In that moment he decides TFfl whether or not you are to be trusted. If you are a cat, a dog, or an infant whose Machiavellian brain leads you to bombard him with clods, he utters one raucous note, obviously meant to be a liorrid sneer, and instantly departs. Tf you are one to feign guilelessness, to lull him into a false sense of security that you may seize him unawares, he divines your nature at once and ignores your oflfers of food. If, however, you are a Damon, he will be Pythias. His male beauty is breath-taking, which fact he obviously knows, for he preens his glossy, greenish-black plumage with such assiduity and such affected utterances that you know it is done for your benefit. But you must not tell him this, for he is easily offended, and will sulk from a distance for ten minutes at a time, without deigning to accept -our advances, although from time to time his glittering eye flashes in your direction to note your reactions. If you make as if to go, he is instantly humble and his remorse finds expression in a dreadful racket. Poor fellow !

He hops about on his one leg in search of food. Sometimes he tumbles to earth, wings spread to check his fall, and upon regaining his balance he soars aloft to show his wing-power, pitifully self-conscious in the matter of his missing leg. I toss him a crumb, but a plundering mockingbird swoops down and snatches it before the blackbird negotiates the distance upon one leg. Oh, you — ! screams the wronged bird, and raising himself to his full height he lets an indignant curse blast the at- mosphere. Then his head droops and a sad eye is turned toward mine. But woe betide the reckless sparrow who ventures too close, for the blackbird ' s beak strikes like a dagger, and even a mockingbird, a swashbuckling marauder grown overbold, whisked too close, and knifed by that dagger sang no more.

City of Portland jsed into a Seattle dock and unloadc-d a momentous cargo that was to chan.i;e the destinies of thousands of ] ersons. Some found fame and fortune, more found injury and even death, and nearly all suffered privations and har(lshi])s that were appalling. Stacked upon the wharf, the small, iron hound boxes did not look imposing, though they were surrounded l)y a protect- ing police guard. And then tlie word si read as to their contents. It was four million dollars in dust and nuggets from a fabulous strike in the interior of, until then little known, Alaska. Within twentv-four hours the name ' Klondike ' was heard around the world wherever telegraph wires or cables ran. Within another round of the clock hun- dreds of persons were on their way to Seattle, which was regarded as the port of departure. And the canny business men of that town subsidized the news-gathering agencies, and every news item regarding .Alaska bore the date line. Seattle, Wash. It seemed as if a flood gate had been o])ened. Men, many of wIkjiu had never pos.sessed five hundred dollars in their lives, .sold everything they owned, and begged and borrowed to get the necessary stake together. There was very little known of the Alaskan interior at that time, even liy those best posted, aufl the ignorance of .some was abv.smal. Many of them leaperl from the moving train in the Seattle 136 T H E A R T I S A N S ' 3 2 yards and clashed tor the ticket office, yelHng, Gimme a ticket for the next train to Alaska. Every available boat was pressed into service to carry the never ending horde northward. Old hulks that lay rotting in the marine graveyard were patched up and used. To be sure, some of them sank beneath their staggering loads, but the owners had been paid in advance and the loss of a few unknowns from the ends of the earth caused but a ripple. Men fought to get aboard the overburdened ships and every sailing was watched l)y thousands. The greatest gold rush since the days of ' 49 was on. Seattle, which had been in the doldrums following a bursted boom, came to life with a whoop of joy. Stores were besieged by seething mobs of prospective prospectors, for it was necessary to carry at least a year ' s supply of food and clothing. Some bought for themselves alone, while others made purchases for large parties. A single sale often amounted to thousands of dollars. Ramparts of flour, bacon, beans, and other eatables were stacked breast high along the curbs. Drays rattled and clanged dockward, piling up mountains of freight that were constantly assailed by panting stevedores who crammed it into every corner of cargo space. ' Bucko mates with deep-water vocabularies and biting sarcasm lashed the laggards into frenzied activity. Steam hoists hissed and creaked. Cargo swung inward and outward twenty-four hours a day, racing against the Arctic night. And above all the other sounds was the wailing of the dogs. Alas, the poor dogs. They were co mpanies of the major tragedies. Bought or stolen from every town and countryside from Maine to California, from Canada to Mexico, they poured into Seattle by the trainload. Monarch and mongrel, pet and alley waif, tall and short, lean and fat — if they possessed four legs and could bark they were considered sled dogs. Not one prospective Klondiker in ten thousand had an inkling of what he needed on his northward trek. Each one considered a dog team as indispensable, so everything from two to half a dozen was added to the outfit. They were crated and stacked on the open decks, w-here they suffered from cold and neglect. When they landed in Alaska they proved inadequate in knowledge, training and physical abilities. Many were abandoned by their owners, to die of star- vation in a hostile climate or to join the wild packs and be killed as a matter of protection to the food supplies cached along the way. Imagine that you are Johnnie Klondiker on a ship headed up the inside jjassage, with your outfit stowed somewhere in the hold of the ship. A belt of islands, thirty miles wide, extends for eight hundred miles along the coast of British Columbia and southwestern Alaska. This helps form what is known as the inside passage. This is a wonderful trip in the summer as the ship threads its way through the narrow channels between the islands, which varv in size from tiny islets to ' ancouver Island, some three hundred miles long. AH are densely wooded from the crests right down to the water ' s edge, and as you stand in the bow of the l)oat you wonder how the n i t can tell which way to turn. Imagine it is late fall and a den.se pall of low lying clouds shuts out everything above the five hundred foot level and makes everything dark and gloomy. The S T () R Y A X 1) - l .

The crowded shi]i. with men mentally and physically ill, the lowering skies and somber wooded islands tend to lower your morale. When the ship anchors off Dyea or Skagway, many a man quits cold and refuses to leave the boat. There is no wharf and the frei s ht and passengers go ashore on lighters, where the former is dumped on the heach. . tide of some twenty feet rushes in and out twice daily, and it makes considerable difference to Johnnie Klondiker whether it is high or low when the freight is beached. Once it is ashore the steamshi]) com]ianv washes its hands of it and it is up to the owners to rescue it from the tide, which waits for no man, just as the copy book says. Poor Johnnie. Von have never slept out or prepared a meal in your life. ' ho can blame -ou if (iu doulit the wi.sdom of giving up a good job and regular meals for this gloomy, inhospitable looking country. The weather is not cold, for the Jap- anese current tempers the climate along the coast. A gentle moisture seems to fall constantly from overloaded clouds, and the trees drip dismally. Underfoot is moss and mud. a trickle of cold wetness runs down the back of your neck, and some- where in the mountainous mass of freight is your food and bedding. All is confusion, conversation and a wild flurry of arms and legs as five hun- dred frantic men burrow into the mass, each striving to find his own belongings and to move it beyond the reach of the relentlessly advancing tide. A leader is needed to organize and direct so that the precious provisions will not be lost. You, Johnnie, have been a leader in your home town, and while you are as unfamiliar with outdoor life as any of the others your common sense tells you what is needed. Borrowing a revolver from a fellow sufferer, you climb to an elevated position on the pile of freight, fire rapidly and yell loudly. Having by these quiet, gentle- manly ( ?) proceedings established yourself as a pandemonium queller, you proceed along the usual oratorical route. First you make them angrj ' , which holds their attention and draws them closer, but not too close, and then you stab your finger at a husky who looks as if he could carry out orders. Pick twenty men and shove them over there out of the way. You, snapping at another, pick twenty men and get over there. With the rapidity of a machine gun you rattle off your orders, and in three minutes the pile of freight is being attacked from every side by well di- rected gangs which move it u]) the heach beyond high tide. But look, one gang is not functioning as smoothly as it should. You seem to have made an error in your leader or he has picked a poor helper. It is up to you to make a double play or your side will be out for keeps. You have two courses open : you can go down and smack the recalcitrant one into a different frame of mind, or you can stay where you are. You choose the latter. You ask the objector if he can run the .gang and because he says. Yes you make him leader. High on the beach the freight is being piled in alphabetical order. One gang is rustling firewood, another is rummaging for various articles of food and cooking utensils, while men who have had culinary experienc e are working over the cook- ing fires. As the last of the freight is piled in a safe place and the men gather around the steaming coffee pots you ex])and your chest and a warm glow of 138 THE A R T I S A N S ' 3 satisfaction permeates your extremities. You have proved yourself a leader of men. Having landed at Dyea, your route is over the Chilcoot pass. Five miles of heavy grade lead up to it, and Ijack-packing is the order of the day. You were too wise to fool with dogs and those who did soon abandoned trying to use them. You, and when I say you I mean also your hundreds of fellow sufferers, rise in the cold gray dawn of another dismal day, snatch a hurried and poorly cooked breakfast, hoist your pack of from seventy-five to one hundred and fifty pounds and carry it as far as you can stagger with it, and return for another load. Unused muscles ache, perspiration blinds you and if you have a yellow streak it comes to the surface. The weaklings begin to fall by the wayside, selling their outfits for what they can get or frankly abandoning them. The stronger and more determined begin disposing of all but the bare necessities. Hundreds of abandoned articles litter the wayside or are cached in the trees. Eventually your outfit is piled at the foot of the pass, amid great heaps of food-stuff with narrow aisles between. Here begins the real grmd, coupled with the snow and cold. Twelve hundred feet so steep you can touch the mountain wall in front of you without stooping. A line of laden men crawling slowly in single file up the snowy steep, so close together they tread on each other ' s heels. You thought packing was tough ; now you know it is. Going back for another load is not so bad. Sit dcnvn on your heels and slide. So many men scooted l)ack to the bottom ' that their flying feet cut a deep trench in the frozen snow. Thus arose the frivolous name of Chilly Scoot Pass. My father went over both the Chilcoot and the White Pass in niid-wintev. making photographs for Harper ' s Weekly. On the ship going north his companion liroke his arm, had it set, and made the round trip with his arm in a sling. Other interesting sidelights to this tale are how the Mushers died by scores from spinal meningitis, how they slipped from the footlogs, and, held down by heavy packs, drowned in two feet of rushing icy water; of a snowslide at Sheep Camp that buried more than si.xty. Down the passes to the lake was not so bad, as gravity assisted. Here boats were built from lumber, sawed by the ArnTstrong mills. This means to whipsaw from the fallen tree, and Johnnie found it a very trying job. When navigation opened, a wonderful fleet set sail. Most of the men had never ridden in a boat, let alone build one, and the flotilla was made up of almost every size and shape of craft that man ' s ingenuity, or lack of it, could contrive. There were some bad rapids to be run and many boats were sunk and lives were lost, but the majority reached tlieir objective, though few men found fortune. This narrative can at best give you a small picture nf the cold, hardships, and sufferings that the men went through in their search for gold. Vl-w fortunes were taken out. and the nlajorit • that were were s])ent in a wild spree. S r () R Y A X I) ' I ' . K S I ' . l.VJ In a Chinese Theatre 1)V DoNAI.I) Sti ' art ■ HE ONE THING ABOUT A CHINESE THEATRE that impresses a foreigner more than anything else is the noise that emanates from within fL at eAery performance. Because of the faihn-e nf foreigners to understand Oriental customs they cannot truly api)reciate the art that is leiiicted liy native Chinese actors. It is a real e.xperience to he ahle to visit a Chinese i)layhouse, if only to see the Chinese in their moments of leisure. Somewhat like a native wedding, a Chinese theatre reminds one ol circus days — ballyhoo, startling costumes, noise, peanuts, popcorn and candy. The stage itself is usually an elaborate affair quite in contrast with the sinijile adornment of the theatre itself. .Xt the end of any particular act the property men move on, mingling with the performers, and make whatever changes in the scenery are required. Whenever a change in the set is necessary, that ' s puh yao ching (never mind). The stage hands, according to existing rules and regulations, are supposed to be invisible. A chair mav represent a mountain ; a stick with a tassel on the end indicates that its holder is mounted on a horse. When the stick is thrown to the ground, the rider is dismounted. A man has merely to climli u]ion a chair or table and he is high up in a gate tower or ]3agoda. Searchers nia - look all around, tuucbing him several times, even, but he is supposed to be so high up that the visiliility is too poor for his pursuers to be able to find him. A black-faced man. and sometimes a white-faced one, is the villain of the i)lot. The good folk are always red-faced. Sheets with clouds ])ainted uiKin them do duty as the real thing, while other cloths represent waves, if the action of the ])lay is on the seashore. Remarkable acting is needed if the actors are to get the plot across to the audience. Yet, in sjiite of the invisible stage crew and makeshift scenery, many an audience has been known to rise almost as one man and exclaim. Hao! Ting liao! (Good! ' erv good!) when something has particularly taken its fancy. The Chinese usually make a real party of it when they go to a theatre, and it is often an amusing sight. We once saw a party enter a box, followed by seven ser- vants, each carrying some sort of refreshment : chicken, varnished duck, gallons of tea, pao-ping (sesame cakes), Chinese cabbage, bamboo shoots, and enough of other things to feed a village. These they arranged along the rail in front of the box, and. occasionally glancing at the sta,ge, ate with great gusto and relish. Theatre attendants furnished hot towels for the party. Right down i n front of the stage itself stood a tub of hot water. Here towels were scalded, rinsed, squeezed nearly dry, rolled up and jiitched through the air by the tub man to the attendants in the box, who dexterously caught them as they came whizzing through the theatre just over the heads of the audience. There is. withal, perhaps because of its very iirimitiveness, something very soul-stirring as well as amusing about a Chinese theatre. 140 T HE A R T 1 S A N S ' 3 2 Sampan Harbor Bv Donald Stuart 4HMr HI-: MAJESTIC CUSTOMHOUSE CLOCK boomed out the liour of i twc-lve, noon. The quiet streets became suddenly alive as the streams of £L humanity came pouring steadily out of the buildings along the Bund in Shanghai. The idle and sleepy ricksha coolies frantically grabbed the handlebars of their vehicles and dashed madly across the street to get a passenger. Cars, rickshas, bicycles and wheelbarrows all combined to make up the lunch-hour confusion. Street-cars clanged their noisy wav through the mad throng, and police- whistles made shrill clamor. I sat on an iron railing overlooking the Whangpoo River and squinted through the bright midday sun at the scene before me. A loaded river steamer just come down the Yangtse River from Hankow was busily unloading its passengers and baggage on the customs jetty. A cargo boat was busily loading boxes, crates, and bales into its musty holds, and the overcrowded ferries chugged gallantly across the river to Footing and back. The little one-man sampans rocked precariously on their way through the crowded waters to the safety of Sampan Harbor. Sampan Harbor, at m - feet, was formed by two pontoons jutting some hun- dred feet into the river. Here were moored fifty or more graceful sampans, rocking idl} ' . Most of them were covered u]) as if expecting no business. As on most Chi- nese water craft, these small l)oats had artificial eyes lainted on tliem to fool the river devils. )n several of thcni were small stmes and nicjst of these were lighted, the l)illows of smoke curling upward, mingling with the steam from the boiling rice. Some of the men were already busily engaged in eating and were squatting S r ( ) K V A I) !•: K S I ' . 141 on their liaunclics on the deck with a l)o vl of steannng rice in their hands. Tlie more amhitious ones had their sampans ready for passeny;ers. l- ' very now and then a prospective passenger came up and a knul artjument would tlien take place hetw-een said customer and the sampan coolie. The argu- ment was almost always aliout the price of the trip. Many a time a customer, after having his ancient and venerahle ancestors insulted, walked haughtily away, only to be called back by the insulter. who humbly offered his apologies and took up the oars. Oftentimes, when they had finished their third and last bowl of rice, I would squat Chinese fashion with one of these interesting characters on the narrow deck of his craft and chat for an hour with him on varied subjects. These talks were always very enlightening to me and very often to them, as they could hardly be- lieve that a foreign devil could speak or learn to speak their native tongue. At low tide most of the sampans would be left high out of the water on the nniddy bed of the ill-dredged river. At such times the owners of the stranded boats visited a traveling kitchen on shore, taking shore leave, as it were. Some of them would curl up on deck and add to the noise by snoring loudly until the rocking of their boats nearly precipitated them into the murky waters. Many of these sampan coolies were sixty or seventy years of age, having lived all their lives with their boats. Many of them were sixteen or under. These were cast into the cold, cold world early, to earn their own living. Avaricious and tyrannical fathers had not supplied them with much of an education and had lazed around at home while they sent their wives and families to work to earn their livings. These poorly dressed boys had a hard time getting enough to eat because the passengers usually chose the middle aged and stronger and more experienced to take them. If it wasn ' t for the Sampan Coolies ' Union, or some such organi- zation, the weaker would have died or ended all by drowning themselves in the treacherous W ' hangpoo river. But they, like all good followers of Confucius, take life as it comes, and they always had a smile for me when I came for my daily chat. As I lean jjack in my chair and close my eyes, I can picture that same sampan harbor as I knew it, tucked away in that remote corner of the world. Boats and ships may come and go and mighty harbours of floating monsters may rise and fall, but the picturesque little sampans shall linger always in the memories of my childhood in China. 142 T II E ART! S AN S ' 3 2 Lotus Lake in the Evening By Stewart Hummel 0 m HE CITY OF NANKING, China, is surrounded by a hii h wall, twenty- -jl two and one-half miles in length, and from fifty to ninety feet in height. fL Surrounding this masterpiece from the ages is a moat, various parts of which are known by historic names. Probably the most l)eautiful of these is Lotus Lake, with its soft ripples splashing against the gray barrier to the side. Peace reigns over all. The sun is just disappearing over Tiger Hill to the west, casting its last rays of light over the endless stretch of marshland. Out from among a thickly woven patch of reed-grass glides a time worn punt with a couple of laborers who are homeward bound after a strenuous day ' s work amid the rice fields. Lassitude inay be seen in their deep set eyes. In concord they form an aperture as they row through the endless stretch of lotus leaves which glitter golden in the sun ' s last rays. The white flowers betwixt the platter leaves radiate purity to those who gaze upon their beauty, and send a mystic fragrance over the colorful expanse. In the center of Lotus Lake stands an island on which is a Puuldhist monaster)- which appears to have come down from antiquity. It is surrounded on all sides by cherry trees with sparkling white and pink flowers. The graceful curves of the corners on the tile roof present the appearance of a glorious past. A pair of crumb- ling spirit walls project outwards from the main entrance, which is in itself a masterpiece. Behind a veil of coarse netting is this door, which, like most Chinese doors, has a pair of bronze colored metal knockers. As is common, the door is kept shut by a cross-bar which fits tightly into a ]mir of slots. Over the door, on the outside, is a plaque bearing a quotation from the classics, written in the native characters. Surrounding this ancient building, on the banks of the lake are numerous willow trees, with branches swaying to and fro over the soft ripples of the water in harmony with the indolent breezes. On the northern hanks of the lakes are a number of villages. Women-folk may be seen washing clothes along the border of the lake in their very primitive manner. A wooden platform projects out over the water for a few feet. The house-wife or maid lays her goods on the end of this projection and, kneeling be- side them, beats them heartlessly with a stick made expressly for that purpose. Men kneel near by, not over clothes, but over rice fields. One man follows the water buffalo as it draws the three-barred harrow with wooden teeth over the surface of the field, while several other men work a queer foot pump nearby, pumping water into the rice fields, . fter the earth is deemed sufficiently pulverized, it is ready to receive the seed, and a number of men plod almost knee deep, through the water-soaked soil. s])rinkling seeds in rhythmic motion as thev hum a melodious air. Second by second the light of day melts into the dark of night. The distant call of one laborer to another pierces our sensitive ears as day is done; while out of the dusk a flock of herons, with swishing filmy feathers, passes overhead in the direction of their next night ' s rest.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is station Z3 ' located on the l. Oth floor of the l- ' .nipire Television Building. Through the courtesy of the Third Martian Expe- dition sponsored by the leading merchants of our city, you are about to observe a novel experiment in the sports line. This experiment is to be called Air Polo. Polo is not a new game. In fact it dates back several centuries. In the early days it was played by men riding horses. A small white ball was knocked about with wooden mallets. Today, we have replaced the horses with planes and the mallets with the green ray, a projector of which is fastened to each plane. A ball is still used, but instead of being small, and made of hard substance, it is large, light, and made of spongy rubber. The planes are driven by robots, which in turn are directed bv men on raised platforms, by means of radio control. ' A ' e now switch control to the polo course. Vou will notice that the jjlanes are built with short wings and a large tail assembly for quick maneuvering. There are five planes on a side. The five black are the Specters, and the ones colored red are the Cardinals. The face faded and was succeeded by the view of a long course. In the center of this course were ten planes, five red ones in one line, and the five black ones lined uj) a cjuarter of a mile away. Suddenly a large ball appeared between them. A shaft of green light shot out from one of the Cardinals and the game was on! -As each plane turned on its projector, the air became full of rays darting about after the ball. .Suddenly the sphere bounced high above the planes. A black S])ecter, shoot- ing up his rav, balanced the ball on the end of it, and sjied for his goal. Two red planes raced after him, gaining rajiidly. What was that? Something wrong! With- out warning, the two Cardinals nosed in and crashed together. As they .spiraled downward, the men at the controls loosed the parachutes, letting the planes drift easily to the earth. Then the announcer ' s face was again on the screen, and he was speaking f|uietly. I am sorr -, ladies and gentlemen, hut the game will have to be postiioned, owing to the accident you have just witnessed. If this ex])eriment interested and pleased you, just drop a line to ... I ' m afraid a few improvements will ha e to be mafle before air polo will be- come practical. 144 T tl E A R T I S A N S ' 3 2 The Athenian Spirit I)V Stanley Ctshinc; ■rO THE GREEKS THE ROMAN goddess of intellectual powers was ■in known as Athene. Though she possessed innumerable qualities, she was al- Fv ways the goddess of wisdom, protector of warriors, and occasionally a symbol of the peaceful arts. In her honor the capitol of Greece was named Athens. Consequently, it is from this divine lady of classical mythology that the Athenian appellation of Summer ' 32 class originated. When the graduation coterie selected this name did it recall only the athletics of ancient Greece, or did it warily consider the noble standard of existence engen- dered by the ancient citizens of Athens? Complete reminiscence of the prece- dent established by these people stimulates one ' s wonderment as to whether or not the present graduates are consistently emulating the Athenians of Pericles ' time. Ancient Athens attained its influential dominance before the Ijirth of our Saviour due chiefly to the indefatigable efforts of a prominent Grecian statesman, Pericles, who proclaimed his endeavors for the people. In the minds of some of the present generation, democratic forms of government are in a seemingly em- bryonic stage, but Pericles, endowed with metamor])hosis in the administration of the city named after the Roman goddess, Athene. The eligibility of only the aristocratic class for governmental offices was abrogated by Pericles, who made citizenship the sole requirement for candi- dacy as a public servant. Anxious to develop Athens until it liecame the most il- lustrious city of Greece, he embellished it with buildings and sculpture of univer- sal fame. Such memorable structures as Propylaea, the temple of Athena, Nike and the Parthenon are the acme of Greek architecture. Not content because Athens had forged into the lead over cities once repu- ted to have been greater than any of those of Greece, Pericles assayed to or- ganize a confederacy under the guidance of the thriving metropolis. Prosperity and refinement was centered in Athens. Here too grew up a philosophical and art- loving nucleus of the country. But the envv of the Peloponnesians resulted in one of the evils of mankind — war. While in the throes of ruthless slaughter, a dreadful plague exterminated countless Athenians, among whom was Pericles, and the abatement of .Athenian supremacy followed. It is hoped that each member of the present graduating class in his pursuit of happiness will be mindful of the achievements and failures of the .Vthenians dur- ing the Age of Pericles.

Although Mexico will not enter many events, she will at- tempt to acquit herself with credit in those few. During a recent mob- ilization twenty thousand athletes paraded through the streets of Mexico City dis- playing such enthusiasm that this hitherto unheard-of nation may upset the figures in the coming games. The governing powers of Mexico are greatly in favor of citizens becoming athletic fans. In recent years baseball has gained many supporters in this region. Thus it is known that the high-strung Latins enjoy a good game quite as much as boys of the United States. The popular idea that the Mexican is somewhat blood- thirsty as shown by the bullfights is erroneous. These bullfights for which Mexico is so often censured are not enjoyed for their primitiveness, as much as for the skill of the matador who, alone with a piece of cloth and a sword, masters a mad- dened bull. The goading of the animal into a frenzy of rage is merely to test the true skill of the bull fighter. By the substitution of athletics the government hopes to do away partly with the constant series of revolutions, the curse of Mexico. These are due to the fact that the peons have nothing to lose and much to gain by entering these conflicts, and thus insurrections are easily fostered. If the peaceful citizens can be kept oc- cupied in athletics they have no time for formulating plots. In past Olympiads Mexico has sent forth rifle shots that have placed high in the finals. This year they present a formidal)le group in General Gustavo Salinas, Senorita Esperanza Orozco, and Lieutenant Salvador Preciado, all of whom have shown marked ability in the preliminaries. In General Tirso Hernandez they have a pistol shot who has captured the title of international champion in two Olympiads. If he again enters in this event it is likely that Mexico will have little trouble in taking a first place. The prospects of Mexico in the distance events proved quite satisfactory in the preliminaries. The recruits are mostly newsboys. These boys, instead of using bi- cycles to carry their papers, deliver them on foot. In sparsely settled districts the distance traveled in a day is surprising. With the Olympics in a country so close to their own, the Mexican ( )lympic Committee has pledged itself to send a large team to Los Angeles and that is all there is to it, although the economic conditions in Mexico are no better than elsewhere. This lack of funds has always l een a drawback to Mexico. Her wealth, leeched out by the Spaniards years ago, has left her with little capital. Poverty is res]3onsible for the great inferiority of the athletic ec|ui]3ment of Mexico. She has stadiums and gymnasiums for but a few to train in. Thus there is much talent in Mexico that has as yet been untouched. P«ut when conditions iniprove a new )lvm])ic winner niav be acclaiiiTed. ) k M A A X I) M I S I (■ 147 DRAMA-  MUSIC 148 T 1 1 ]■: A R T 1 S A N S Girls ' Lyric Club With liiji ' li ideals of service and pleasure, and with fine music furnishing the motive power, the Girls ' Lyric Cluh has enjoyed another happy ride on the high- way of success. Many events have contrihuted to the pleasure of the journey. First, the George Washington celebration, in which the girls joined with the boys ' Aeolian Club and the Senior Orchestra in presenting the music of Colonial and Revolutionary days. Then followed the honor of singing for the Alchin Harmony Association two songs written by the director, Miss Ina Davids. In May, the Lyric Cluh took a prominent part in the Music Festival, and completed the term by sing- ing with the Aeolian Club on Rally Day, and at our auditorium on Com- mencement Night. Social noon hours, and an evening partv with the Boys ' Aeolian Club have added to the gaiety of the journey, as did also the May Day Tea with which the members entertained their mothers in the Practice House. The officers who have directed the club this semester are: Lena Tingstrom, pres- ident; Maxine Hunt, vice-president: Catherine Goe, secretary; Helen Mae Dameir, treasurer; Mildred Blatherwick, publicity editor; Ina M. Davids, faculty adviser and musical director. ) A M A A X I) Boys ' Aeolian Club Its niemliurs chosen for qualities of character and leadership as well as (|uali- lies of voice, the lioys ' . eolian C ' luli constitutes one of the most select groujjs in the school. ( )ver a number of years the club has achieved an unexcelled repu- tation for sincere effort and support of school activities. With the Girls ' Lyric Clul) the Aeolian Club took part in many programs which deserve special mention. The George Washington festival was a celebration in song of the heroic days of our nation ' s infancy. On Public Schools night the clul) had the honor of representing Manual Arts before a large audience gathered to witness the expositon. Then followed the Music Festival which this year supplanted the opera. In conjunction with every musical organization of the school the Aeolian Club made this the most vivid and extensive musical production in the school ' s history. The final appearance of the club was at Rally Day and Com- mencement exercises. A unique party with cabaret settings, held jointly with the Lyric Club, livened the social season, which was climaxed by the resplendent Aeolian Club Banquet. Officers this term have been : Rod Pederson, president ; Bob Weston, vice- president ; Roland Helsel. treasurer; Ernest Mcjannet, secretary: Ed Colbath, librarian. 150 !•: . K T I S A N S • 3 The Flattering Word Have (iu t ' er had the innate longing to he seen and heard hehind the foot- lights? Most certainly you have, or at least that is the contention of The Flattering Word, a satirical comedy molded under the capable hands of Miss Mae Edwards. And it was in the home of Rev. Wrigley. prejudiced against the stage, that his wife ' s guest, the professional actor and second Valentino, Mr. Tesh, lent fuel to the smoldering flame. He infused intense heat for drama in the soul of Mrs. Zooker. the inquisitive church worker, and even convinced her awkward offspring that she might someday appear on Broadway. He actually induced the most religious of the town to go to a theatrical performance ! The story does not give us this ending, but we can use our imagination and Ijet on it that that was not the last bit of drama which held the eyes of the minister and the church woman. The characters of Mrs. Zooker and her daughter, Lena, were completely adajited to Dixie Gray and Marguerite Bley, being displayed with deft humor, Mr. Tesh, Alias Ken Murphy, no doubt captured the hearts of many a female in the audience, while Nobel Johnson as the staid minister played a smooth, refined role. Juanita Encell was very delightful as Mrs. Wrigley, wife of the minister and childhood friend of Mr. Tesh. Another trium])h for Miss Mae Edwards. A M A AND M L ' S I (. ' 131 Two A. M. A dark stage, a slieeted sofa and chair, a liluu lisht. a shot in the iiiijht, and Twu A. M.. the mystery comedy, had begun. In the course of five minutes two men and a girl crept stealthily into that old country house, each unaware of the other ' s presence. Why? Because a foxy old codger had left a will and they lahored under the impression that, by following the eccentric directions, they would dis- cover the fortune. Amid gongs of a clock, chalk lines, mysterious bo.xes, a key, a diamond ring and a couple of tickets to Coney Island, through clever twists, witty dialogue, and splendid acting which lent individualism and interest to the story, we see the ward of the deceased engaged to the handsome nephew who was meant for her. The villain is disposed of in a pleasing manner, and according to the age-old rule, everything ends happily. The bad hombre. thinking he has committed murder, flees to .South Africa with a sack of pennies. Money showers from the old gentleman ' s picture on the man and the maid below just as the clock strikes Two A. M. The characters are well portrayed by Billie Braca, as Betty. Donald Curly as Durkin, the villainous nephew, and Jack Weigand as the hero. Rita Rouse was re- sponsible for the direction of the play. 132 T H E A R T I S A N S ' 3 2 A Cappella Choir Echoing down the vast aisles of cathedrals old in histt)ry, and from chapel walls which reflect the jeweled gleams of stained glass windows, come songs. Songs which express the heart of all worship, songs as fresh as their appeal now as then. Today our choirs sing them to audiences whose appreciation is as keen as in the days of old. Many schools and colleges have been forming organizations for the inter- pretation of this type of art. Manual Arts has also formed such a group, known as the A Cappella Choir. Each term it has made an appearance in our aud- itorium, and will take part this year in the Spring Music Festival. Its members endeavor to bring out the beauties of this type of music, which means that they are learning all that goes with good singing — voice control and placement sight singing; carrying of parts, and artistic interpretations — and adding to their knowledge of and appreciation for good music. The officers for the term have been Arnold Krenek, president; Edward Carroll, vice-president; Arleen Whelan, secretary; Elmer Bollinger and Raymond Ernst, librarians. Miss Ina M. David is director of the organization. Boys ' Junior Glee Club No ]irevious training is required to enter this class. It is only asked that stu- dents want seriously to learn to sing, and that they prove their sportsmanshii in unified group activity. Anyone can improve the speaking and singing voice, learn to read music, and increase the appreciation for and knowledge of good music. These things the Boys ' Junior Glee Club is learning to do. Under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Mottern, this organization has accomplished much this term, and per- formed an important part in the Spring Music Festival. Officers of the club this semester have been : Bob Marineau, president ; Fred Taylor, vice-president ; Charles Wiley, secretary-treasurer ; Joseph Catopano, li- brarian. Girls ' Junior Glee Club This semester has proved the Girls ' Junior Glee Club to be a fine singing or- ganization. They have shown their worth on many occasions, singing for assem- blies and Parent-Teachers meetings, and taking part in the spring Music Festival. The club is glad to welcome all girls who enjoy singing, and who stand for the high ideals which engender a spirit of unity and cooperation. Music is studied, which develops appreciation for the beautiful, and which furnishes not only ample opportunity for artistic interpretation, but develops initiative in reading music and in carrying parts. Special attention is given to correct tone production. Much of the success of this organization is due to the efforts of the officers: Grace Nelson, president ; Phyllis Tibbits, vice president, and Mary Jane Mclntire, secretary-treasurer. Imogene Reese is accompanist, and Miss Virginia Blythe in the capable director. DKA M A A X 1) .M U S I C 53 154 THE ARTISAN S ' 3 2 Players ' Company Complete reorganizatitm has been the object of the Company this term, re- organization both in the business and social sections of the group. Under the capable leadership of Rita Rouse, ])resident, this reconstruction has succeeded. With her cabinet, namely, Ruthlee Leach, vice-president ; Noble Johnson, secretary. Patsy O ' Connor, treasurer ; Kenneth Mur])hy, pro])erty manager ; and Ed Colbath, pul)licity manager, her efforts have set up a fine grou)) of people to forward the dramatic interests of the school. This year the Players ' Comijany has sponsored the Players ' Club in such a manner as to make it well known throughout the .school. The miuor organization was formed to allow those students who desire to liecome members of the Company to do so if they have the talent and the earnestness which is necessary to make a worthy member of the Company. Two ])lays were put on by this group, The Copy, directed by Miss Leach, and When the Horns Blow, directed by Raliih Schram. Music Club ■ Mthough the Harmony Club has recently changed its title to the more general name. Music Club, Harmony may still be said to be the club motto. Not only are the programs jaleasant to hear, but the club aims toward harmony of spirit and of ideals. With fine music as their .standard, the club invites all students to join with them in their study of the beautiful. Every term some definite program is decided upon. Modern music, folk music, nationality as expressed in modern compositions, and the newest trends in music composition have been discussed and illustrated through the playing and .singing of music itself. The officers for tliis term have been Helene Gradowitz, president ; Lena Tingstrom, vice president; Beatrice Turpin. secretary: and Ruth Green, treasurer. Miss Lenore Snow is their faculty advisor. Stage Crew The stage crew is an organization uijon which rests the utmost responsibility. Upon its operations depends in i)art the success or failure of every program in the auditorium. The smoothness with curtains and scenery are manipulated does a great deal to lend reality to a stage production. Under the direction of Mr. . ndersen, the stage crew has this semester per- formed its duties to the satisfaction of everyone. The boys deserve nothing but praise for their splendid work. Members this term have been: Manager, Bill Cutts ; assistant manager, Cliarles Long ; head flyman, Bud Showalter : head electrician, Leonard Moody ; and Russ Stair, Lucien Mather, Ed Kaiser, George Underbill, Roy Dougherty, AI Mucci, Russ Newman, Bill Morrisey, Bill Kennedy, Ed Gilbert, Vernis Plank, Walt McGarvin, Llovd ( )lson, Henrv Polito, and Therold Fielder. ) K A M A A N 11 M r S I C 1 36 T H E y R T J S A N S ' 3 2 Senior Orchestra The Senior Orchestra has always heen considerefl a vital part of the school life at Manual Arts High School. From the successful term which it is completing it will be seen that it has fully lived up to its reputation. Public Schools Night and Music Festival programs given in the auditorium, besides Commencement ex- ercises, have kept the orchestra busy. Music of a high type has been studied, such as Beethoven ' s Egmont Overture, and Fifth Symphony, with numbers from the works of Tschaikowsky and Grieg. The orchestra members also have good times socially as was evidenced at their semi-annual party. The officers this term have been: president, Earl Jones; vice-presidents, Ed Gilbert, and Bee Turpin ; secretary, Ethel Carter ; treasurer. Earl Heverly. Georgia Mae Young has for several terms been concert mistress, as well as concert mistress of the all-city orchestra. Jeanne Hemrich has been assistant cijncert mis- tress during this semester. String Ensemble ( )n Public Schools Xight the string enseml)le ' s playing won most favorable comment. Much pleasure was added to the May Day program through the music gi ' en ])y the ensemble, which played several arrangements made especially for it by members of the advanced harmony classes of the school. In the Spring Music Festival the ensemble took a prominent part, serving both as a solo and accompany- ing group. The string ensemble played at one of the sessions of the state con- vention of school ])rincipals, held at the Ambassador Hotel. The personnel this term has included Georgia Mae Young, Jeanne Plemrich, La Vonne Hawrey and Al Galante, violins; Cortez Killingsworth, viola; lulmond Gilbert and Doris Savcry, ' cellos; and Helene Gradowitz, piano. Junior Orchestra A sociable, serious organization is the Junior Orchestra, devoting its time each day to the intricate matter of ensemble playing. Doing good team work in any line rec|uires concentration and faithful effort. These things the students are prepared to give, realizing the opportunity which they, have in learning how to play with the group. Much time is given here to correct technic, true intonation, and artistic interpretation. Many students find this an excellent way to keep up practice on the instruments of their choice, yielding them the maximum ' amount of pleasure and profit for the time spent. The Junior Orchestra furnishes the music for the Senior play at matinee and evening performances, each .semester giving much pleasiu ' e and gaiety to the audi- ences and much enjoyment to themselves. The students in charge this semester have been P)Urton Rice, president ; Jack Davis, vice-])resident ; Amy Munday, secretary-treasurer ; Beatrice Swan, librarian ; and Joseph Smith, assistant liljrarian.

But when British and United States citizens do things they do them. They went to that land of svnishine and work and took with them the games that were pcjpular in their own countries. This included in their baggage everything from swimming suits to golf balls. That was thirty-five years ago. Today the Lat- in-American is keenly interested in outdoor sports of every type. Argentina seems to have been the first of these Spanish speaking cou ntries to take considerable interest in athletics. Field sports were introduced not much later into Mexico and Cuba. When people from the United States began to arrive in the Canal Zone. Central America soon picked up the desire to play in the fashion of its new friends. Most of the countries learning new games seem to favor the English soccer. In Cuba and Puerto Rico, however, they do it up in real U.S. style and call it foot- ball. It might be noted that the University of Mexico plays football against colleges of the United States. Chile is perhaps the greatest place for football as a national pastime. Chileans don ' t stop with that, but play cricket, polo, golf and tennis, and they swim, hunt and fish. Horseracing is almost as popular as it is in England. There are even op- portunities for skaters, and the long range of the Andes is available for mountain climbers. In 1922 the International Olympic committee sponsored competition Ijetween South . ' merican countries at Rio de Janeiro. Argentina took home most of the honors. Two years later, at the 1924 Olympics in Paris, the Argentine polo team was victorious and the Uruguayan soccer team was heralded as champion. ICvery four years, in different parts of South America, athletic meets are held for those who wish to enter the Olympics. Tennis is becoming more and more popular and is steadily gaining new follow- ers. Latin Americans also like rowing, footracing and baseball. Sports have a good influence on nations. They build stronger youth as well as keep fit and healthy those who are growing older. The countries of South Amer- ica are reajjing the benefits of good hard plav out of doors. It keeps their ])eople energetic. Certainly for one who has known sjxirts for such a short time, the South . ' merican has made wonderful progress. The world should doff its cap t(j a rajiid leanii-r and a good sport. M 11.1 T A k V 159 sroD i- eneea.-r §f;: 0w mm M MILITARY lf)0 THE ARTISAN S 32 STAFF OFFICERS Majok W. R. Wilson. U. S. A. Sgt.

C. has again completed a very successful term. Led by Cadet ' 4 Major Carpenter the officers and cadets displayed their efficiency and FL ability on March 3 in the annual Honor School Inspection. As expected Manual again placed high in this event, making it the sixth time we have obtained this rating, the last five having been won successively since 1928. Much of the efficiency of the army is due to the work of the Officers ' and Non-Coms ' Club. The Officers ' Club had as its president, Capt. Elbert Pyle, vice- president, Capt. Willis Kifer, secretary, Lieut. George Hendricks, treasurer, Capt. Dennis Broussard, and sergeant-at-arms. Major Neal Carpenter. The Non-Coms ' Club was very capably led this term by Sgt. Louis Acosta, president ; Sgt. Reese Miller, vice-president ; Sgt. Lawrence Howe, secretary- treasurer, and Corporal Edward Mathews, sergeant-at-arms. The army ball, held on May 20 in the boys ' gym, was, as usual, one of the most successful social events held in the school this term. It is always pleasing to see the familiar faces of graduated officers at this affair, and this term they came in larger numbers than ever before. We were also glad to see the large number of visiting officers from the other schools. This shows a spirit of friendliness and co- operation which is very helpful in furthering the interest of the R. O. T. C. We were very fortunate this term in having a parade and inspection before Major-General Craig, Commanding Officer of the Ninth Corps Area. This took place Saturday, April 16th on Wilson Field, and General Graig was very pleased with the results. It is to the credit of the R. O. T. C. that such a large number turned out on a Saturday afternoon. This term has seen the most successful rifle team Manual has ever known. Coached by Sergeant Littler the team completed three very important matches. These were the Ninth Corps Area Matches, The Hearst Trophy Matches, and the National Intercollegiate Matches, each one lasting fronr a week to over a month in length. The first match fired was the Ninth Corjis Area, in which we obtained high score of 3611 out of 6000 ])oints. This match lasted over a month, anil it is to the credit of the team and their coach that thev did so well over such a long period of time. They ])laced second, being beaten by Pasadena Jimior College, and beat- ing all other high schools and junior colleges in the Ninth Corps Area, compris- ing the western states. By placing second in this match, the rifle team helped us considerably to gain the coveted honor of being an honor school again. The Hearst Trophy Match was fired next. In this we scored a total of 937 out of a possible 1000. In closing we want to give credit to Major Wilson and Sergeant Littler for tlieir untiring efforts in behalf of the Manual R. ( ). T. C. Their abilities as in- structors were clearly shown in the Honor School Inspection for which they had only a month to get the Army in shape.

Both in the past and the presnt this organization has typified the splendid degree of efficiency and military precision attained by the Manual Arts cadets. The squad successfully started this term by giving an exhibition before Colonel Pillow and the Manual Arts student body on March 4th, the date of the annual Honor School inspection. The next engagement was in the Sala de Oro of the Biltmore Hotel on April 6th, and on the following evening at the Ameri- can Legion headquarters, Glendale, California. On April twenty-ninth, the squad was featured in the Public Schools ' Week program in our auditorium. The leader of this traditional organization is Capt. Denis Broussard. Its mem- bers are : Captains Robert Trapp. Paul Clayton and Herman Bush ; first lieu- tenants Robert Joy and Robert Reed ; and second lieutenants Adelbert St. John and McNiel. Last but not least is Captain and Adjutant Willis Kifer, the last member to join the scpiad. R. O. T. C. Band Though everyone doesn ' t realize it, there would be no army without the flags, the uniforms, and the bands. This is the great Lloyd George ' s belief, and he is right. Hats off, then, to the band of the Manual Arts R.O.T.C. ! Excellent service has been given this year i)y the boys. One fine exhibition after another has gone on. and never have they decreased in spontaneous and si)ectacular performances. The unit was composed of forty men under the leadership of Captain Alton Gage, First Lieutenant George Hendrick, and Second Lieutenants Calvin Taylor and Earl Heverly. Mr. Killgrove, the instructor, deserves nnich credit for his work in bring- ing out the musical taltJit of the members of the organization. Major Wilson and Sergeant Littler should also be commended for the military instruction that the ' afforded the band. x i 1 1 - 1 r A R y (, ' : n ' ( 166 THE ARTISAN S ' 3 Sweden Bv Arthur Eslick • ' AND OF LAKP:S. of waterfalls, of lofty peaks— that ' s Sweden. Home of 1 the fair-haired Northmen, ancient refuge of Vikings bold, Sweden has al- Tll ways held a prominent place in the world of men. Since the time of St. Eric, ' her sturdy sons have brought honor and glory to themselves and their coun- try by their deeds in peace and war, and have managed to garner a liberal harvest of laurel wreaths. The Swedes are robust people, healthy and virile, honest, good natured, and cheerful. Their temperament seems peculiarly fitted for strenuous competition, and they are especially proficient in winter sports, ice skating, skiing, and tobogganmg. In Sweden fully nine months of the year are available for practice. The 1912 Olympic Games were held in Stockholm, capital of Sweden. In that year Sweden scored more points than any other nation. Besides the winter sports, Swedish athletes are adept in other lines. In the 1928 games held at Amsterdam. E. H. Lundquist. of Sweden, threw the javelin over 218 feet, at that time a world record. One of the most difficult of Olympic events is the modern pentathlon. In this event, the competitors must take part in five different kinds of athletic endeavor, including pistol shooting, swimming, horseback riding, rowing and cross country running. Sweden took first place in the pentathlon of the Ninth Olympiad. In yachting, too, Swedish sportsmen rank high. In the 1928 Olympics Sweden took second in yachting, being surpassed only by the Norwegian entry. In the recent winter games held at Lake Placid, New York, Sweden took fourth. Sweden is expected to send a goodly quota of athletes to the Tenth Olympiad. If past indications mean anything, the Swedish entrants will furnish some stiff competition for other athletes. What a wonderful thing this Tenth Olympiad will be ! Athletes from Sweden, far in the north, meeting those of Egypt, almost on the other side of the globe. Stout-hearted South Africans toiling against the sons of Greece and Italy, not in war, but in athletic contests, generating a friendly rivalry between nations in the interests of peace. Sweden will do her share. The blue-eyed Scandinavians, famous the world over for their strength, fleetness of foot, keen eyes and steady hands, will well represent the eld Viking traditions of courage and daring.

I ' roniinent menil ers of the class were thou.L;ht tu he major league futures from the looks of their performance on the diamond. . fter a while one game began to get tiresome, so they scattered to their re- spective weakness. The swings, slides and bars ])roved the most popular. - s Or Sol reminded them of the approaching dusk they gathered around the refreshment tables to be served loads of potatoe salad, sandwiches, pie and ice cream. Perfect, was the Senior answer to the query, How was it? A- 1 1 Party The girls ' gym was the scene of the festivities and May 26 was the date. The future seniors assembled for their fir.st social function. There were guards around to see that no uninvited guests entered. This was the first opportunity the young- sters had to see next year ' s Senior Bees together. The class knew what it was doing when it elected Frank Scott and Eloise Kus- sel as host and hostess. They had worked hard to make the dance a success. The program and refreshments were well worth the hearty applause they received. The Senior Bees ne.xt term will be ready to give the Senior Ayes all the com] etition they want. R. O. T, C.

Major Neal Carpenter, host and X ' irginia Ellis, hostess, led the grand march, which, with the waltz contest, was only one of tiie many features. The bovs have practiced long and hard to make this an outstanding suc- cess. Hi-Y Dance Deeii down in Davy Jones ' Parlor the H - held its long awaited .semi- annual frolic. The dancers, winding their way in and out of the improvised c jves, swayed to the waves of melody furnished by Bill Hall and his orchestra, (ieorge L ' nderhill, host, and Kay Trapheagan, hostess, saw to it that everyone felt at home, and provided many novel features. Just another long-tn-be remembered H - suc- cess. 166 T H E A R T i S A N S ' 3 2 The Viking Spirit By Lennie Moore 4Hr[i£ WIND HAD CP:ASED TO BLOW as evening fell. ( )nly the snow- ■ flakes drifted down warm and alive, twirlint -, dancing , hiuyhing. It must have l)een on such a night that Sonja was burn in far i)ff Norway. Sonja Hiene, who has twirled and danced her way to the top as a figiu-e skater. Five times she has been crowned queen of the world, and that doesn ' t include the times she has brought home honors to her native land in the Olympics. This petite girl from Norway with her short blond hair, friendly eyes and quizzical smile seems to be typical of her country and its people. Norwegians have about the same ruggedness of character — a certain nerve that makes them win- ners. Frost, ice and snow comprise their kingdom. They are found in their element on keen edged skates, gliding against the wind, or on skiis or bobsleds riding across the hard packed snow, always with a tang of danger and dare in their makeup. This year at the winter Olympic games at Lake Placid, the world certainly heard from these Norsemen. Johann Ordttunsl raaten, ski run and ski jump champion in the 1928 Olympics, defended his title successfully, and again was awarded the glory of winning. He was up against stiff competition too. there Iie- ing entrants from ten different nations. Sonja Hiene, with all her grace and ability, was once more acclaimed a victor. In the ski jump, nineteen year old Birger Rund of Norway won the inter- national title. In speed skating there is a problem which always makes it hard to determine the winner. The skater who goes first, breaks the wind for the ones that follow. This makes it smooth, sailing for those who come behind, because, just before the end of the race they can, with most of their strength still in reserve, easilv pass the leader. He, poor fellow, l v the time he reaches the last distance t(j be covered, is thoroughly worn out. In the sports last Fel)ruary, this event, as usual, was a source of disagreement, ilowever, in the final settlement, the judges with all fairness, awarded tlie champ- ionship to Ivar Balangrud — again to Norway. In the eventual outcome of the winter sports, Americans had won most of the events, but Norwegians ran them a close second. At the games in Los Angeles this summer, Norway will send other athletes for comijetition, among whom ' will l)robably l)e Charles Hoff, a prize pole vaulter. These modern Norwegians are living up to the standards (if their N ' iking ancestors — figliting hard, develojiing courage and stamina to make a greater nation. T II F- (.• A t. I .

( )n the basis of numliers in each graduating class, the high schools in this city are granted memberships in the society. Character, leadership and scholar- ship must be outstanding to secure this signal honor. Senior Ayes and faculty select the candidates. Marian Almstedt achieved fame as a declamationist and served as girls ' judge. Kathyrn Clatworthy was vice-president of her class during both its senior semesters. Elizal)eth Easley was G. S.

Helene Gradowitz, Ijesides achieving note in Manual ' s musical world was selected for the presidency of the Girls ' League. Billie Fern Whitten, girls ' vice- president of the student body, was one of the most popular holders of this office, and was long active in Girls ' League work. Glenn Coyle was student body president, a member of the many honor societies and a member of the Big M Society. His pal. Milt Linden, was elected boys ' vice- l)resident of the .S. H.

A ' 1- L ' 17 ' ) The Merit Board One of the most outstanding examples of Manual ' s splendid system of self- government is the Merit Board. It is indeed regrettable that so few Manualites other than malefactors are acquainted with this organization. It is the duty of the board to interest itself in students who receive twenty or more demerits. The board assists these students in correcting their citizenship records and regaining the good graces of the office. The board carries out its work in a friendly manner and acts purely in capacity of an advisory council. The Merit Board is undergoing reorganization but the new plan is not yet perfected. The officers are: Woodrow Sampson, chairman; Tom Whalley, assis- tant chairman and the next chairman; 15illie F ern Whitten. secretar - ; Milton Lin- den, sergeant-at-arms ; and Glenn foyje.

' ind low lirushes, in search of food; as did the whole groii]) of whicli lie was a member. His ancestors had thus wandered l)liiKlIy tlini the ages, the gniu]) following the line of the least resistance to their food supply. Their aim in life was food. Always their wanderings were in search of food. Centuries later a man ha ing jierhajis a little more erect hearing, perhaps a little keener eyes, perhaps just a little more soul than had his fellows raised his eyes and saw for the first time in all the ages, the Horizon. In his soul was born a new urge, an urge such as man had never felt before, an urge to approach the un- known — that which all beasts feared. There came to him the desire to go, and with his eyes still fixed on that which was far off and unknown, and lifted high above the sordid life he had always known, he went — went without thot of reward, without thot (jf what was at the end, filled imly with the great desire to go, to ex- ])lore. He went, and as always hajipened, the others followed. And so the first Pilot was created, the first leader was born ; for truly Pilots are but leaders, and leaders are our pilots. And what of the descendants of this first pilot? All the world knows their names: Moses, Confucius, Leif Ericson, Marcci Polo. Livingstone, Eindbergh, Galileo, Steinmetz, Edison — all of the great names of history are but names of the truly great pilots — the leaders of men, whose souls felt the urge to exjjlore the uncharted regions of the earth and air, and to venture into the unknown realms of scientific investigation. But the great ones of the ages have not been the only pilots. Every man who has been a leader in his group, in however small a way. is worthy of the name. Each one, as he goes out into life day by day can be a true pilot, for no matter how lowly he may be there is someone who will be made happy if he but offers his hand and says, Come, let me lead you. P)y so doing one can realize the true meanin - of the name Pilots.

The Royal Family of Broadway, a romantic comedy dealing with the great llarrymore stage family, was chosen by the Athenians as their class play. T!iis play, long heralded in dramatic circles as an outstanding production, proved as i)0|)ular at Manual as ever on Broadway. The Barrymores are represented as the Cavendish family, who occupy a dis- tinguished position as a family of actors. Their family life is unconventional and quarrelsome, the temperamental outbursts of the members constantly disrupting the harmony. Fanny Cavendish, a lovable old tyrant, is mistress of the household. Julie, her daughter, is the present prominent memlier of the family. She finds her life a mad whirl of ajjpointments. Gwen. Julie ' s daughter, is a sweet young girl who prefers marriage to the stage. Tony, wild and irresponsilile, rushes home from Hollywood after a fight with a director and a Polish actress. He has lost all interest in the stage and leaves for Furope. Julie furiously quits the stage, shocking Herbert Dean, the elegant old actor and friend of the family, who lives for the stage. ( ne year later. Tony returns with a new play and is afire with ambition. Julie has also decided to accept a new part. Gwen, now a mother, decides to follow the stage, for a short while at least. Fanny Cavendish toasts the baby at a family gathering and predicts that it will also liecome a great star. In the final act Fanny (lies. Thus as one member of tlie family |)asses. a new one appears to carry on. F !•: A T I R !• S 1X7 Scene from Mav Dav Program Music Festival Cliniaxini; a term full of activity in the Music Department came the Sprin.L; Music Festival, presentetl hy five vocal organizations, the Senior ( Jrchestra, and the String Ensemble. The high character of the music, and the spirited ]5erform- ance made a thoroughly enjoyable program for both listeners and particijiants. The first part of the program was opened by the Senior Orchestra. Then followed songs by the Girls Lyric Club. Boys ' Aeolian Club, and . Capjiella Choir, and a number by the String Ensemble. The second part of the program was devoted to Mendelssohn ' s Hymn of Praise, a sacred cantanta of great beauty. In variety of vocal combinations, in loveliness of melody, and in choral climaxes of tremendous power, this cantata ranks among the masterpieces of vocal composition. The ex- perience of .singing this beautiful music will long be remembered with gladness I y the enthusiastic students who took part in its production. The Music Department is fortunate in numbering among its members Miss Elizabeth Mottern. who sang the soprano solo parts on the cantata with beautiful effect. The directors were also fortunate in securing Mr. Robert Sargent, well known tenor, as guest artist. His delightfid singing of the tenor role added greatly to the success of the program. The chorus of over 200 voices included the ( iirls ' Junior ( ilec Lluh. the Bovs ' Junior Glee Club. Lyric and .- eolian Clubs and the .A Ca])])ella Clmir. . ccompani- ments were played by the Senior Orchestra. String Ensemble and the two pianos. Directors of music were: Miss ' irginia Blythe. Miss Elizabeth Mottern. Mr. Paul Cheatham, and Miss Ina L Davids. Miss Lenore Snow ha l charge f ) ian() ensembles. 188 T H E A R T 1 S A N S ' 3 2 Germany Bv RuI.AND Lawkenck. 19 -AS THE UNITED STATES winner of the 192S Olympiad? .... This will alvvavs be a debatable question, there bein. ,r no official scor- ing system. Onlv tlie individual winners receive reco ;nition in the Olym- pic (James. When the announcer at Amsterdam made it known that the United States had taken twenty-two first places those present gave ent to surprised (Jh ' s ! and Ah ' s ! No one seemed to have realized the number of champions this country possessed. That announcement, United States, twenty-two first places. seemed to foretell another victory for the powerful team from the United States. Scored liy the system that Germany ariiitrarily adopted that country won the games by several points. In their system they count team scores only, which gave the United States but ten points for the entire track and field ! While the Germans received credit for points gained in each weight lifting event ! Even so the United States would win liy this system also if only the first three places were consid- ered. The German sports writers counted the first six ! Three of our teams took first place, the only country to do so. Therefore it would be impossible to say that (iermany excelled us in teamwork. At present there are several events in the Olympic ( iames that are nearly duplicates of other events. The countries that merely excelled in them gained points from practically the same event twice. It would seem that the catch- as-catch-can and the Greeko-Roman wrestling could be combined under the gen- eral title, wrestling, while the modern pentathlon and decathlon should be made into Init one event. In the last games Germany surprised the entire world. It was the first time she had participated since the World War, and took first or second place (accord- ing to the way you figure it). But she is not resting on her laurels. A new gener- ation has produced exceptional athletes to take the place of those winners of four years ago. The reconstruction of Germany is accomplished through the German youth, hardened by sports. A strong, manly citizen, a healthy wife, are our aims. Thus Dr. Theodor Lewald, president of the German Olympic Committee, addressed his people recently. It is not the aim of Germany to develop Club Heroes, but to de- velop all of her people, while the citizens themselves do not enjoy seeing games as much as actually participating. .Although Germany is very much in favor of an extensive athletic program she is not in favor of sending a team to the Olympic Games at Los Angeles. The country is divided into two groups, the (. ' ommuni.sts and the Red Spurts Inter- national ; both groups are against sending a team. Even so it is very unlikely that Germany will not compete in the coming ( )lympiad as Dr. Carl Deim has promised to do everything in his power to send a German team to California, and his as- surance should mean success. F E A T U R K S 189 ' THE MODERN OLYMPIC OATH STOD HERBERT HUMOR 190 T II E A R T I S A N S A Word of Thanks Bv Roland Lawuence i ' lach semester, in addition to the staff, there are several individuals who work unobtrusively without gaining recognition. In the Art Department we find two such people in lone Bay- less and Stoddard Herbert whose work you have already admired. Exceptional drawings were also sulimitted by George Hack and Margaret Lynch. Fred Volz gave expert assistance to Lionel Ovsey and Sol Soter in the ])hotography department. There was organized this term two groups that ])roved themselves indispensable to the Artisan. Mr. Hansen ' s third period creative writing class did much of the dirty work while the Scriliblers ' Club, sponsored by the creative writing class, is an in- exhaustible source of original compo- sitions.

The income of a newspaper is derived not from the sales, hut from the advertisements, the advertising rates naturaLy depending upon the volume of sales. While the peculiar conditions surrounding the publication of the Artisan (the book is planned, printed and bound within the school) make that publication inde- pendent of advertisers, the revenue derived from advertisers makes it possible for the editors to put out a SUPER ARTISAN. Let us then be fair to our advertisers. Many business establishments in this district adverti.se in the Artisan pages as a gesture of Good-Will, rather than as a means of increasing their sales. This is because Manual Arts students do not respond to the advertisements. With this condition in mind, let us patronize our adxertisers in ap| reciation of that good-will shown us. Let us go out of our wa -, if need be. to supi ort the firms whose names appear on the following pages. These are hard times, hut not for just a few. Hard times for everyone, and if you help out .someone, someone will be a little bit more apt to HELP YOU. Boost the advertisers! The Artisan Staff 11 r M () R — A I) ' !•- K T I S I-. M K N T S 19,?
