For this second expedition, over four- teen thousand items were planned besides the new living quarters. Byrd has written an entire article upon his Battle oi Preparation to provide living quarters for men for two or three years in the Antarctic, without losing a single man. Me has said that more than half a dozen volumes could be written about the period necessary tor this planning. The Admiral ' s officers, hand-picked, were cadetting for high adventure and hoping for victory. Their laboratory was comparable to the best in civilization, from cosmic ray instruments to receiving and transmitting radio sets. With the finding of plant fossils, leaf and stem impressions, coal, and fossilized wood, Byrd has drawn unexpected conclusions. The climate in Antarctica was once temperate or sub-tropical as in our own. Because we now know this, we may realize the aspect of the Americas during the Glacial Age, which has over a period of thousands of years, retreated slowly to the Poles, In spite of the intense cold, life of the minutest cells and tiny plants still exists. Byrd, a true cadet, during the time of our education, prepared for and enacted a soul-stirring drama, the like of which we may never see ayain. 14 T II E A K T 1 S A N S ' 36 SENIOR A CABINET Johnny Tbomassin, President Margaret Trider, Girls ' Vice Rex Thomas, Roys ' Vhe Betty Wilcox, Secretary Ormond Fowler.

Newton Bernard Swanson 58 T II E A R T ISAM S ' 36 CLASS IIIST )RY SUMMEE 1936 B I ' .ii i Wilcox The long awaited entrance day at Manual Arts had finally arrived. It was a beautiful, sunny California day. The bleachers on Wilson Field were the center of pandemonium. Eagerness, bewilderment and anxiety were expressed on eaeh of the f 72 faces. Each individual was actually realizing the beginning of his high school career at Manual. The first w eeks were spent by the newcomers adapting themselves to their unique environment. As a result of the earthquake of March 10th, the campus had been transformed into a virtual city of many attractive bungalows and picturesque walks. The class soon realized the importance of supporting and being a part of the many and varied school activities. The names of certain members, who were later to attain the heights of fame, began to make a significant showing. This class of Summer ' 36 was proud of its extra- ordinary football players. Johnny Thomassin played three successive years of varsity football, making the all city first string team twice. Also Don Doyle, Jack Kelly, Dick Berry, and Armando Sanchez deserve a lot of credit. After football cam;- basketball season which reminds us of Dale Sears and Phil Gibbs. Track season found Jimmy Roberts placing third in the Southern California track meet, breaking the school record by pole vaulting ten fee t eight and three-fourths inches. Richard Martin was another Al track man. On the gym team again we find jimmv Roberts, along with other outstanding gymnasts such as Harry Willams, Dick Clatworhty and Tommy Benton. Kenneth Bartelt and Richard Martin made good on the tennis team. Besides this, the class boasts of Dick Clatworthy who held the position of sell king for three successive terms. Readers in social and scholastic activities were not wanting. Always in the foreground were those popular twins, Byron and I ' .ea Pedersen. few other marked leaders were Rosemary Rahn, Barbara Bennie right, Jean Smith, Marge Trider, Margie Fuller and ( iail Martin. Rill ) ' Keefe enjoyed a most successful dramatic career and lent distinction to many Manual plays. Squires and Knights were numerous. Some of the earliest ones to be honored by these distinctive organizations were Byron Pedersen, Jimmy Roberts, Rex Thomas. Dick ' Clatworthy, John Thomassin, Dick Berry and Tommy Benton. When the results of the A 11 English Exam were posted, many hearts were lightened. The class proceeded to organize. Senior Bee Term Choosing Cadets for theii class name and yellow and white as SENIORS 39 their colors, the class elected the able cabinet consisting of Johnm Thomassin, president; Bryon and Bea Pedersen, boys ' and girls ' vice- president respectively; Betty Wilcox, secretary; and Frank Bosomworth, treasurer. Adelphic Day was the first big event. The Cadets proudly filed before the student body, making a very colorful scene in their gorgeous canary yellow action back sweaters. Harry Williams and Chuck Martin led the Cadet yell and Morris Newman is to be commended for his superb muscial composition. Also an orchid to LaVerne Johnson, who so ably assisted Morris by writing the lyrics. Although the Futurists put up a good fight, they were unable to hold up against tbe terrible onslaught waged by the young Cadets. Senior Day resulted in a Cadet victory of 3 to 2. The friendly rivalry was resumed in tbe afternoon at the joint bop staged by tbe two classes. There was no stopping the Cadets, for Ida K rnll and Keith Peck claimed the dance honors. However, all was in fun, and this spirit prevailed thruout the term. The Senior Bee Picnic at South Park will not be forgotten for quite a while anyway. There were all kinds of games including football and a baseball game between the girls and boys. The strange actions of many Cadets climbing trees and rushing wildly about, and exclamations ol surprise can be explained by the fact that they were in search of treasures. Another way to proceed in a treasure hunt, which was. used by some, is to figure out scientifically the most likely place a precious package might be concealed. The successful sleuthers were delighted with their little bundles of candy and china animals. No bell or gong was needed to signify that the food was ready. In turn everyone was served by such chefs as Harry Williams. Bennie Wright, Rosemary Rahn, and Dave Wolfskin. After all of the luscious buns filled with big juicy hot clogs, which were simply oozing with mustard, the apple pies and ice-cream had been consumed, everyone gathered around the veil leaders and the whole park echoed with Cadet songs and veils. Many thanks to Rosemary Rahn and David Wolfskill and their committees for their splendid work which insured the success of this picnic. I he night oi December the fourteenth saw the Cadets dancing gaily around a huge illuminated Christmas tree, which literally glittered with silver trimmings. Foster gym could not be recognized in this cheery Christ- mas atmosphere. This dance was acclaimed the outstanding social event of the year by e veryone present. Ilea, the most charming hostess one could picture, rightfully deserved the many congratulations she received. Well earned compliments to Dave Wolfskill who proved to be an exceedingly efficient decoration chairman. A great deal of talent was uncovered in the amateur programs given during the homeroom periods. (How main ' gongs were dented?) The 60 THE ARTISAN S ' 36 numerous good times thai the Cadets enjoyed in 253 and in the gym were made possible by the able president and two vice-presidents who always gave their best to the elass. The term closed with the election of the student body officers for the coming semester. Jimmy Roberts was chosen for president, Bea Pedersen and Dick Clatworthy were selected to serve as the two vice-presidents. Margie Fuller and George Winder became the two self-government heads and Audry Mae Elliot and Marvin Katzman were elected to preside as the girls ' and boys ' judges. Kenneth Bartelt became president of the scholar- ship society and Rosemary Rahn was chosen for student body secretary. Frank Boomworth was made manager. The office of Girls ' League pres- ident went to Barbara Wight and A. B. S. president to Philip Gibbs. Joe Simpson was chosen for the Daily editor and Charles Fishbeck was hon- ored with the title of cadet major. The Cadets began their final term with strong enthusiasm. This class saw the old Manual fall and watched the new Manual rise in its place. They were enlightened by the new improved facilities and resolved to make their Senior Aye year the best ever. Johnny Thomassin seemed destined to lead the Cadets to victory for he was re-elected president; the other offices were filled by Margaret Trid ' er, girls ' vice-president; Rex Thomas, hoys ' vice-president; Hetty Wilcox, secretary; and Ormand Fowler, treasurer. Senior Day proved to be a battle royal between the Army and the Navy, as the Bee twelves blossomed out in navy blue and white sweaters, claiming the name of Midshipmen. Never before was there such a spirit of friendly rivalry. The Midshipmen are to be complimented on their good sportsmanship and the manner in which they conducted themselves in the face of defeat. The Cadets won four of the five events, tying the Commanders, which was the only other class to win both in the Senior Bee and Aye terms. On the second of April the Cadets journeyed once more to South Park for their Senior Aye picnic. Cares and worries were forgotten in the merriment that prevailed. Leo Sinclair, assisted by his committee, passed out the hot dogs and ice cream. The days were speeding by now but the sturdy Cadets were making the most of every minute as they realized that their high school days at Manual Arts would soon be over. The Senior Aye dance is one that will be remembered for a long time. Marge Trider and Rex Thomas demonstrated their ability in conducting social affairs by their splendid work on the dance. The faculty gave the class a grand reception. A most enjoyable after- noon was spent by all. As the radiant sun sank gloriously in the west, the Summer Class of SENIORS 61 1936 sat attentively at their commencement exercises, listening intently to parting words of praise and friendly advice. Then after the singing of Kipling ' s Recessional came the breath taking final, the Alma Mater. Only the graduate who has experienced singing his Alma Mater for the last time can can fully appreciate its significance. Thus did the Cadets leave the Halls of Manual.

Three men imprisoned in a tiny stout metal shell, hanging from a huge balloon, had one moment been quite secure, the next moment a rent in the balloon disturbed their planned routine and ended the chance fur a slow landing. Captain Albert W. Stevens, commander and observer of the United States Army Stratosphere Expeditions, bad spent weeks and months preparing for the eleven hour study of the upper regions. During the summer of 1934 from the Black Hills of South Dakota the epoch making ascent of eleven miles was made. The keynote of all such historical events, as Captain Stevens had said, is preparation. For many weeks, at the Stratosphere Flight Camp, scientists, army officers, veteran balloonists, troups, and many civilian workers had toiled day and night in prepara- tion. This camp was. in many ways, equivalent to a modern city. It had a drainage system, sawdust-paved streets, electric lighting systems, and hundreds of other items. Weather information was received every day at the camp. This information came from places as far away as Cuba and Iceland. During the flight the three officers. Major Kepner, Captain Stevens, and Captain Anderson, kept in constant contact with the world by radio. Even their sudden descent was described over the radio. Within six hundred feet of the altitude record, the balloon ripped! At first the rip on the bottom of the balloon was not essentially dangerous, but the men were forced to lose gas and altitude by immediate valving. ' I he officers were so busily engaged in their operations, in carrying out their planned routine, that during the fast descent not one of them had the opportunity to release, by lever, the gondola ' s huge parachute. This action might have saved much of the assembled data, but would also have wasted valuable time. At about a half-a mile above the earth the balloon exploded and the gondola shot toward de struction. The men jumped safely in parachutes, calmly and methodically after having marked their time. Although many records were lost, many ballooning problems were solved. Enough so that on November 11. 1935, a second ascent to the height of almost 14 miles was made, adding to the span of scientific date and furthering the needs of progress. iF % Yv 64 T HE ARTISAN S ' 3 6 PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE After being elected to so auspicious an office as President of the Manual Arts Student Body, I feel it my duty to comment upon the splen- id cooperation I received from Manual ' s students and faculty. The adtit,class of the Summer ' 36 has been especially helpful in the school ' s academic life. 1 commend the cabinet for the great ability in they have shown in making this term so successful, sh to extend my good wishes and luck to all future presidents. JIMMY ROBERTS— VERSATILE PRESIDENT By Ed Davis A tribute to Jimmy Roberts could consists merely of his achieve- ments. Being of paramount caliber, the activities that had attracted his interest during his high school years recommended him for the office of Student Body President which he held for the past term. With a design for integrity he had entered every possible field for attainment at Manual Arts. With this same integrity he fought his way to the top of every- thing he attempted. This is only the way things should be for Jimmy ; he ' s a natural. As he was realizing his success, friends and classmates watched him not with jealous eyes but with a wish that they could be like him. Scholastic? Definitely yes. Having made the Scholarship Society fo r five terms. Jimmy, was made vice-president of the society. As a Senior Bee his success as a scholar won him the presidency of District 11, C. S. F., State of California. With a superb record as a athletic awards. With basketball, track, and the gym team his main athletic interests he enjoyed success in each. As captain of the gym team he became city champion on the parallels, long horse, and all-around events. He holds two school pole vault records. For the last three years he was high point man on the gym team. Success followed Jimmy Roberts through Manual as it will through life, because of which he has done, will do, and because he is a great guy. M.

The real purpose of the Girls ' Service is to develop leadership, character, and maintain school spirit. Although this is just a newly organized group there has developed among the members of the school a feeling of respect and appreciation for these girls and their ideals. This is an organization in which the membership is automatic. The present members and their offices are as follows: Bea Pedersen. girls ' vice-president ; Rosemary Rahn. secretary ; Audrey Mae Elliott, girls ' judge; Margie Fuller, girls ' self government president; Barbara Wight, Girls ' League president; Margaret T rider, girls ' vice-president of senior Ayes; Betty Wilcox, secretary of Senior Ayes; Irma Rethy, Senior Bee girls ' vice-president; Joy Davis, secretary of Senior Bees; Margie Robey, G.A.A. president; Sophie Zaferis, Lyric Club president; Adelaide Davis, Home Economics president ; Mildred Minger, Home Economics president. Doris Gordon, Home Economics president; Carol Loring, Euodia Club president ; Florence Blurock, secretary of Girls ' League. This term along with the work of coordinating the activities of school functions, the Girls ' Service organization studied such problems as character building and the girls ' place in the business world or in the college. To become a member of this group is the ambition of every Manual girl. ORGANIZATIONS 77 MANUAL ARTS KNIGHTS The Manual Arts Knights have the most exclusive hoys ' organization at school. Consisting of fellows who. through their leadership have qual- ified themselves for membership, It is the ambition of every fellow from the time he enters Manual to become a member of this organization. To attain this honor he must become interested in school activities, scholarship, and athletics. He must have a good character and be a leader among his fellow students. The Manual Knights have to live up to a well founded tradition. Dr. Wilson, the sponsor, and Mr. Hodge, the faculty adviser, are very much interested in the future of the Knights. Putting forward every effort to insure their success. Along with the work of coordinating the activities of school organ- izations, the Knights study problems of character building, vocation, health, and endeavor to be a force in the student body for the develop- ment of moral character. Rex Thomas was elected president and Dick Berry secretary. The Knights are appointed automatically from the following offices and positions : Student body president, vice-president, boys ' judge, boys ' self-govern- ment president, scholarship society president.

The aim of the Tri-Y is to create a finer type of a girl and to unite its members with all the girls in a spirit of friendliness regardless of race or creed, to promote training in leadership, to render service in the school and community. This organization is based on good sportsmanship and high ideals in developing stronger characters and personalities. Many of our functions take place at the Y. M. C. A. of which the I ri- is in connection. We are privileged to use the plunge and rooms in which we hold meetings and social affairs. This term we have had several splash parties at our Y pool followed by a dinner prepared by the women in our cafeteria. The most exciting party was the afternoon initiation held at the i . The skirls were given oversize bathing suits, and ushered into the waters. The tun began at once; each girl had to dive and swim in the eight feet water, swimmers or no swimmers, it didn ' t make any difference, the chairman of the day had decreed it. With much sputtering the new girls bobbed up safely to the surface and succored themselves by gripping the guard rails. The cabinet responsible for this successful term is: lean Smith, president; Margaret Infold, vice-president; Irma Rethy, secretary; and Ruth Carroll, treasurer. To Miss Swerdfeger, faculty adviser, and the outgoing Seniors for their helpful assistance and cooperation much praise is due. ORGANIZATIONS 79 THE MANUAL ARTS SCI l L KSI 1 1 1 ' SOCIETY Under tin- efficient leadership of Kenneth Bartelt, and with the ad- vice of Miss Sprenger and Mr. Maile, the Mimerian Society has carried out suine (if the must outstanding school activities during the term. With approximately 200 members cooperating, the motto, Scholarship fur Service, lias been brought to light by the numerous services the members have dune fur their fellow classmates and their school. The great effort to create a high esteem and respect for the qualities pos- sessed by good students has resulted in a general improvement in the grades of members of the Manual Arts student body. There has been much emphasis given the fact that fellows no longer consider good scholarship an effeminate quality, and that they try for better grades fur their own benefit. This term members of the student body who were failing in certain subjects put a plea fur help in the S.B.O. box. Members of the Scholarship Society volunteered their services to coach the weaker students in the subjects with which they were familiar. The must important event for this term was Scholarship Week which was Ik-Id from .April 20th to April 24th. Scholarship Society members wore tags advertising the drive for 250 members by June. Another highlight of the week was the luncheon at which the Gold Seal grad- uates were presented with their pins. There were 14 candidates for C.S.F. awards at the beginning of the term in the graduating ela s. The climax ot this eventful week was the famous Scholarship Prom which was hel l mi the evening of April 24th in Foster Gym. The dance, which was semi-formal, proved to be one of the most original proms ever given. Everything was Ship-shape to the very last minute, and, as the strains of Dawson Grady ' s music faded away, and the dancers said goodnight to the Host Kenny Bartelt and Hostess Gail Martin, the Cabinet was assured that their efforts were rewarded. The officers, advisers, and members feel that they have made good their motto, Scholarship tor Service. The cabinet for this term was president, Kenneth Bartelt ; girls ' vice-president, Gail Martin; boys ' vice-president, Richard I laltirman : secretary. La Verne Johnson; and treasurer, Byron Pedersen. 80 T HE A R T 1 S A X S ' 3 6 THE SENIOR FORUM The Senior Forum has had a very successful term under the able leadership of president Harry Williams. The other officers were: Clin- ton Jordan, boys ' vice-president ; Myra Jane Mullens, girls ' vice-presi- dent; Lois Hoegerman, secretary; Bill Corwin, treasurer; Morris Kawin, sergeant-at-arms ; and Mr. Guy C. Moore acted as adviser of the organ- ization. Arnold Finklestein was publicity manager. The new members chosen by the relative merits of their impromptu speeches, were initiated at a get-to-gether-party at the beginning of the term. One of the many highlights of the season was a debate between the Senior and Junior Forums on the question. Resolved : That the Public School Grading System be Changed to Satisfactory and Unsatisfactory. The negative team consisting of Selma Moidel and Jack Carlow, both of the Senior Forum, were successful. The decision was rendered by a mem- ber of the Social Studies Department, Mr. Newton. The declamation contest was the peak of the oratorical term. This contest was open to the student body. From a large number of contestants the judge finally selected the winner, Virginia Hayes, who was presented with a silver cup in honor of the achievement. The successful term just completed by this forensic group at Manual included debates, panel discussions on almost any topic from the personal to that of the world at large. The climax and final social event of the term was an installation ban- quet. The officers of the past term turned over their offices and duties to the newly elected officrs of the organization. The term was closed as the members of the forum were honored by a speech from their well known and well liked adviser, Mr. Moore. ORGANIZATIONS 81 JUNIOR FORUM Since its founding, the Junior Forum has heen an organization to help the underclassmen develop his talents in the lines of public speaking. Through debates and open discussions on the problems of the present daj the underclassman has been given an opportunity to express his views. The better speaker has a chance to further develop his abilities while the poorer speaker has a chance to build himself up. Leadership demands speaking ability, and many of the past and present school off icers start- ed their training as Junior Forum members. This term, the Junior Forum has begun to rebuild itself after several terms of unsettled wandering about the school without a definite place to meet, and has headquarters in bungalow 8. At the beginning of the term, Miss Johnson entertained with a get- acquainted meeting to enable the old and new members to meet each other. After introductions were made refreshments were served. The Forum was deeply honored to have as guests Miss Hanna, the girls ' vice- principal, Miss Sykes, the head of the English department, and Miss Peipers, the teacher and adviser of many of the BIO members. At the end of the term, the regular final party and the installation of the new officers was held at Exposition Park. Mr. Moore, the officers of the Senior Forum, the class officers of the Junior Forum, and the adviser of the Senior Forum, were the guests of honor. Once more the Junior Forum, has been exceedingly fortunate to have an excellent cabinet of officers to guide the organization during the past term. The officers were: Robert Horowitz, president; Milton Geldberg, boys ' vice-president; Doris Darnell, girls ' vice-president; Betty Bish- onden, secretary; Dorothy Tanner, treasurer. As usual. Miss Johnson has continued for the term her fine work of supervising the Junior Forum. 82 T H Ji A R T I S A S ' 36 .MANUAL ARTS DEBATE SQUAD The Spring of the term saw many notable accomplishments for the Manual Arts Debate Squad. The team of Jack Schultz and Captain Kimball Moore, with Hugh MacBeth as alternate, started a successful season by defeating Santa Ana in the Southern California Debate League question, on the California Chain Store Tax. The team was guided by the expert hand of Air. James Kirkwood, famed orator and debator, who, while being manager at Uni- versity of Southern California, has been assisting Air. Moore as student teacher. Dorothy Berger, Mae Lucille Dahl, Betty Wilcox. Alary L. Torchia, Gail Martin, Lois Hoegerman, Lester Grossman, and Don Doyle on Socialized Medicine, all contributed to the success of the team. Audrey Mae Elliot, Bettie Hawley and Gail Martin competed in the World Friend- ship panel on Naval Parity, with Captain Kimball Moore, Morris Kawin, Harry Williams, and Bill Corwin. The Forum was presided over by Bill Corwin, with Bill Adams, vice-president ; Gail Martin, secretary ; and Don Doyle, sergeant-at-arms. Arnold Finkelstein did a noteworthy piece of work as publicity manager. During the term, Manual defeated Los Angeles, Huntington Park, Hollywood, Franklin and Santa Ana in practice. Under the expert coaching of Mr. Moore and Mr. Kirkwood, the Artisans came through in these encounters with notable succe ss. All in all, the Manual Arts Debate Forum found 1936 one I its most successful seasons. O R G A N I Z A T I O N S 83 Y iKI.D FRIENDSHIP CLUB The club has featured many varied and interesting programs this semester. Weekly meetings have been held on Tuesdays during the eighth period in Room 141. The attendance has been from fifteen to forty-two. The World Friendship Club cabinet is composed of Morris Kawin. presi- dent ; Mary Hastings, secretary and director of procedure; Virgina Mays, director of program; and Betty Schwankovsky, director of pub- licit} ' . At these meetings guest speakers and student discussions have devel- oped keen interest in present day problems concerning international af- fairs. Under the auspices of the club, monthly meetings have been held in Room 265. when outside speakers have alternated with student pro- grams. Notable speakers enjoyed by the club included Professor Ballen- tine Henley, acting dean of the School of Government at U.S.C. Another interesting speaker was Antonio Cacere, native of Salvador. Members of the Manual Arts faculty who gave interesting information to the club were Miss Jessie Smith of the Art Department and Dr. Bailey of the English Department. The co-operation of students of speech classes under the direction of Mr. Moore has been greatly appreciated. Not only has the club carried on local activities, but as a part of a City and State Federation has been active in association with members of other World Friendship Clubs. Journeys to other schools, and participation in programs and banquets were sources of much pleasure and satisfaction. 84 T II E A R T I S A X S ' 3 6 ( riRLs ' Court Boys ' Court COURTS One of the most educational features of Manual Arts self govern- ment system is the courts. They are divided into two separate divisions; boys ' clerk, bailiff, sergeant-at-arms, prosecuting attorneys, and defense attorney. The judges are elected by the entire student body. The judges appoint their own cabinet with the consent of the sponsor. Most of the court trials this term were held during activity period in room 131. During this period the time is equally divided between the girls ' and boys ' courts, each using one-half of activity period to try their cases. It has been understood that any one belonging to another club can attend the open court trials during activity period and will receive an en- trance to get back into their club the following activity period. When an offender is brought before the court, he or she has the op- portunity of pleading guilty or not guilty. If he pleads guilty, he is then sentenced, but if he pleads not guilty, he is tried before the court. The judges render all decisions. When a person is found guilty, the punishment is given out in demerits. The Cabinet of the boys ' court : Judge, Marvin Katzman ; defense attorney. Byron Pedersen ; proscuting attorneys, Lloyd Summerhays, Norris Kawin ; bailiff. Jim Doyle; clerk. Bill Overlin; sergeant-of-arms, Hill Corwin. O RGA NIZATIONS 85 THE MERIT BOARD Probably one of the most active organizations behind the scenes of Manual is the Merit Hoard. Its main function is to delve into the delin- quent cases and endeavor to eliminate maladjustment of the students. It is the policy of the board to aid those students who have difficulty in adapting themselves to the rules, regulations, and conditions of Man- ual. The personnel of the board consists of Byron Pedersen, president; Bill Corvvin, vice-president and Senior Bee representative ; and honorary member, James Roberts, student body president. The girls ' merit board, which is a branch of the above, is headed by Bea Pedersen, girls ' vice- president; Betty Wilcox and Gail Martin. A special appreciation is extended to Miss Hanna. Mr. Kirkpatrick. and Mrs. Marshall, advisers and secretary respectively, of the board. THE TARDY BOARDS The boys ' and girls ' tardy boards comprise an independent branch of the Manual Arts self government. These boards work under the general supervision of the registrar. Mrs. Peasley, with Laurence Walker as sponsor. The girl ' s tardy board fur the Summer ' M term included the follow- ing members: Emily Henderson, president; Betty Turner, vice-president; Margaret Ingold, Lois Scheurmann, and Lorraine Heiberg, secretary. The members of the boys ' tardy board were Bob Swanburg, president ; Al An- derson, vice-president; Bob Hills, secretary; Joe Derse, Edward Russell, and Dave Coale. 86 T HEARTISA X S ' 3 6 CHARACTER CITIZENSHIP B . RI) The Character-Citizenship Board keeps a permanent record oi each student who is cited by some teacher because of outstanding character traits displayed during three years at Manual. Students receiving demerits reflect against the school and develop a negative attitude, as the good record cards of the board maintain a positive attitude. A student must receive a citation before he or she is considered in his Senior Aye year. The members consider the following characteristics in judging: self-reliance, dependability, cooperation, courtesy, honesty, sports- manship, self-government. The board takes the list of Senior Ayes and alter careful consideration is given, the most outstanding students receive a certificate with their diploma. The students must excel in at least five traits. The board for the past semester consisted of Bea Pedersen, Rosemary Rahn, Jimmy Roberts, Dick Clatworthy, Byron Pedersen, Bill Corwin, and Bob Swanberg. The members of the hoard are fully capable of keeping the records and as can be readily seen, are a very select group. The members are well known on the aampus and have a contact with a great number of students. Thus, they are well qualified to judge the character of their fellow students The student body cabinet is well represented. For the school president and vice-presidents, the treasurer of the Scholarship Society, president of the Boys ' Tardy Board, and four of the five boys are Knights. ORGANIZATIONS 87 CoUNCIl Boys ' Self Iovernmen i Girls ' Self Government SELF-G IVERNMENT The Self -Government at Manual is organized in an attempt to have a school government such as our United States has. Our Student Body Cabinet is a part of our representative government, each depart ment being represented by an officer. Our aim is to teach self-government by practice. This means an ability to govern one ' s self for the benefit of the home, school and community. Occasionally, a student steps over the boundaries set by the school laws, and it is necessary to summon him before the court, where the judge tries to help him to see his error. s,s THE A R T I S A N S ' 3 6 G lETHALS— BUILDER ( )F PANAMA By Virginia Merril A man stood up in Panama and the mountains stood aside. — Percy MacKaye The Panama Canal lias been called the greatest engineering work in the world. Important changes in the plans were made within eighteen months after Colonel George Washington Goethals took charge, so that it became a far more tremendous undertaking than as orginally planned. In the dozen locks were erected forty-seven pairs of steel gates, each as tall as a six-story building. In addition fourteen million dollars worth of fortifications had to be built. A remarkable characteristic of chief engineer Goethals was his de- tailed knowledge. He made himself familiar with every part of the work. When congressional committees came to inspect and criticize, if division- al engineers or department officers were unable to answer some ques- tions of detail. Colonel Goethals was always ready with the desired infor- mation, showing he really had more intimate knowledge of each special part of the work than the man at its head. Goethals was born of Dutch immigrants in Brooklyn in 1858. In 1880 he graduated from West Point, ranking second in a class of fifty-four men. Following a study in an engineering school he held many government jobs. Then in 1907 President Roosevelt appointed him chief engineer of the Panama Canal. It was a tremendous task to undertake. For three years surveys had been made and various routes considered by Spain, France, Columbia and the United States. When Goethals took charge American civilization had already been introduced into a tropical jungle and disease had been overcome. As day by day the chief engineer went from place to place, inspecting the prog- ress of the work, it was his habit to greet every man, woman, and child he met, white and black. Many by name. In a friendly fashion he would talk over the work with the men and he so inspired them that they worked hard- er and better because he had been with them. It was not his way to threaten any consequences of failure to obey his orders. The men soon learned that disobedience meant dismissal. And when the men soon came to know him they economized the justice of his action. His knowledge of every detail and the personal attention he gave to all parts of the work commanded a respect for his decisions. By President Wilson Colonel Goethals was appointed the first gover- nor of the Canal Zone. The world owes its respects to George Washington Goethals. A soldier who has set a standard for the conduct of civic works. ;0 T 1 1 E A R T I S A N S ' 3 6 CLUBS AND OFFICERS B( )YS ' TARDY B( ARD The Boys ' Tardy Board had the following officers: President, Bob Swanburg; vice-president, Al Anderson: secretary, Bob Hills: lay members, foe Derse, Dave Coale, and Ed Russell.

SPECTATi IR STAFF Accept something! If you don ' t start accepting some of these stories and poems the next Spectator isn ' t going to be. If you don ' t take some of these stories I ' ve just brought in, I ' m going to strike, and there where will you be ? Looks are exchanged, looks impregnated with meaning. Mayhem in a glance, as it were. Several books clasped and raised in aim. but self- control overrode all these ideas of assault and battery. The voice was that of Art Joquel, the exasperating but all-too-needed makeup man. A hubbub of remarks, some of which are about the story: It ' s no good, I tell you. - Oh Jackson, you don ' t know what you ' re talking about. — It ' s high class, that ' s what it is. - This supposedly classy description is poor. Phew, what a slushy ending. George Jacque belatedly calls for order and - saying;- All those in favor — Yes All those not in favor — No (All too loudly) Why don ' t you like it. Kimball ' - ' That descriptive ending is positively nauseating; anyway, it would be meat for [ackson to criticize. Well, will all agree to ' perhaps ' ? ( ). K. Then Formhals, when you write out the rejection slip say, ' Rewrite without so much description and try a new ending. Turn it in later with these changes made and it will again be considered by the staff. Ah-ha, another rejection slip to hand out. You know, it is a pleasure to reject things when you have such nice printed slips with the Spectator head on it. An interval . . . There ' s the bell, what shall we do about this poem, shall we accept it? Yes. George Jacque, very limp and steadying himself on the desk, None of you can stay next period, can you, I hope? The officers of this boisterous and supposedly intellectual group are : George Jacque. editor ; Arch Johnston and Kimball Moore, assistant editors ; Margaret Worth and Robert Formhals, rejection and contri- bution managers; John H. Hahn, artist. 94 T H E A R T I S A N S ' 3 6 JLIU ■■ i.« --■■■■■■■ Secretarial Association Com mercial Club Home Economics C L U B S 95 Movie Club R vdii i Club ( ierman Club Natural History Club 96 THE ARTISAN S ' 3 6 SPANISH CLUB LATIN CLUB CHEMISTRY CLUB FRENCH CLUB The Chemistry Club this term enjoyed the largest membership in its history, exceeding one hundred and twenty-five. It held its meetings both indoors and outdoors. Many interesting experiments were performed. The sponsors, Miss Cahoon and Mrs. Ludy, gave invaluable help in directing the club through a most successful year. C L U B S 97 THE LATIN CLUB If suddenly, like a flash of lightning, there should appear on the campus, seventy tunic and toga-clad Romans, would your hair stand on end and your voice stick to the roof ] your mouth, ' ' as did that ol Aeneas when he heard the voice from the ghost of Ploydorus. Yes, perhaps, hut hrevi tempi ire, these Romans revealed themselves to he merely Latin students attending their annual Roman banquet. Here they defied modern conventions by reclining as they partook of food with their fingers. The dinner was served in true Roman fashion ah avo usfue ad mala, omitting nothing, not even the pig on the platter, nor the choos- ing of the king of drinking. The wreathing of the wine howl ceremony was one of the out- standing features of the affair. An offering was poured in honor of the gods and all drank the wine which was in reality punch. Following the feast, the guests were entertained by singers, dancers, poets and actors. The banquet is not the only event sponsored by the Contio; programs of varied interest were given throughout the term. The three most out- standing were: a talk by Miss Edna Jones of the art department on her trip around the world, which held the interest of the members for two meetings ; an amateur nite program which displayed the talents of the members; and a program sponsored by the Virgil class, presenting as oik. ' member a I Animus and Thisbe skit. The officers who carried on this successful term were: Virginia Stockwell, consul; Bob Swanburg, praetor; Peggy Laney, censor; Jack Hastings, quaestor; and Stanley Larson, centurio. THE GERMAN CLUB Das Deutsche Verein was organized twenty-two years ago in the dim past of 1914. It suffered an unfortunate setback due to the war. However, the club was revived four years ago, to reinstate itself in the position of one of Manual ' s outstanding organizations. The members of the club, directed by Mr. Reed, the student-teacher from I ' . ST., enthusiastically learned to sinn more than ten folk songs. Mr. Ilolz. assistant faculty sponsor, also aided greatly with the singing. A competent cabinet consisting of Kimball Moore, president; Nor- man Weigman, hoys ' vice-president; Elsie Goerisch, girls ' vice-president; Rose Tomita, secretary; Charles Savage, treasurer; and Betty llaidu. hostess; cooperated with Mrs. Goodwin, the energetic faculty sponsor, to complete an outstanding term in the study of the German people ami lan- guage. •1,S T H E A R T I S A N S ' 3 6 Stamp Club Public Address Crew Euodia Club CLUBS 99 .1 PANESECLUB The Japanese Club of Manual Arts, under the untiring efforts of George Endo, organizer and president of the club, has at last come into be- ing and is already rapidly on its way to becoming an active organization of the school. With Aliss Murphy as adviser, the club enjoys a membership of fifty-five, composed of the Japanese students attending Manual Arts. The meetings are held during the regular activity periods. The aims of tin ' s club are: ( 1 ) To create a better understanding between the Japanese and the rest of the student body, (2) To create amity among the Japanese students, (3) To be of help to the students by bringing out the finer as- pects of American and Japanese culture, and (4) To be of service to the school. A well balanced program was carried out, consisting of cultural and social activities. Some of the activities were debates, talks by prominent American and Japanese citizens, discussions of interest to the average high school student and joint meetings with other clubs of the school. In order to help create a closer relationship aiming high school students, the Japanese club sponsored their first city-wide dance in May. The Spring Shuffle was acclaimed a great success and proved to be the social highlight of the term. George Endo and Ruth Hoshimiya were host and hostess who made them feel at home. The cabinet, consisting of the outstanding students: ieorge En- do. president; Robert Obi, boys ' vice-president; Ruth Hoshimiya, girls ' vice-president ; ( iladys Funakoshi and Fumiko Takata, recording and corresponding secretaries; Yoshiko Arimatsu, historian; Ray Komai, treasurer; and Jiro Yamanaka. serjeant-at-arms. ANGLERS ' CLUB This club is one of the few which the knowledge acquired is put to a practical test. Mr. Laycock, of a tackle company, spoke to the Anglers ' Club concerning rods, reels, and lines. He demonstrated all types of fish- ing poles. There was also a demonstration of trout, deep sea, and surf reels. Many of the members of the club then made an overnight camp at the sea shore. And though the number of fish taken was few, a smile of satis- faction was on the face of all participants. Thus it is that the anglers enjoy a study of their hobby. The officers of the Anglers ' Club are as follows: Eugene Ensign, president; Robert Horowitz, vice-president; Melvin Snyder, secretary; and Mr. English, adviser. 100 THE AR T I S A N S ' 3 COLONEL LAWRENCE, ARABIAN KNIGHT By Virginia Merrill The wildly colorful achievements of Colonel Thomas Edward Law- rence, a graduate of England ' s I )xford University, read like the stories of the Arabian Nights, lie hated publicity and reward. In fact, he ran away from it. So quietly, without any blaring head-lines, he brought the disunited nomadic tribes of Holy and Forbidden Arabia into a unified campaign against their Turkish oppressors. This move was one which statesmen and leaders had tried to accomplish for centuries. Lawrence united the wandering tribes of the desert, returned the sacred places of Islam to the descendant of the Prophet, and drove the Turks from Arabia. Around the period of the World War, T. E. enacted bis immense accomplishments in several fields. And although he was cited for nearly every decoration that the French and British had to offer, he always ran away from them by any swift means of transportation available. Even when ribbons and medals were presented to him he declined to wear them at any time. Along with his many accomplishments, T. E. was a journalist as well. For throughout the desert campaign he kept a journal of the events of the day. Then, after being awarded a fellowship at All Souls ' College, ( l.xfonl, lie wrote a two-hundred-thousand-word manuscript of the in- side story of his experiences in far-off Araby. Immediately after the completion of this story, the manuscript was stolen. But, undaunted, be rewrote the entire journal. We respect and like people of fame, not always for their achieve- ments, but for their personal mannerisms and tastes. One of Colonel Lawrence ' s hobbies was printing books by hand. There were few things he liked better than an attractive book. So, he built himself a small cot- tage on the edge of Epping Forest, ten miles out from London. Here he in- stalled a hand-press, and when he finally finished his Arabian book he made six copies. A few were presented to friends, and one copy went to the British Museum Library. Those who have read it consider it a pyramid in English literature. To know the story of this five-foot three, shy. modest, uncrowned King of Arabia. is a warming cheer. For it is knowing a true cadet. 102 T II E A R T [SAN S ' 36 NIGHTMAN Bv Virginia Merrill Regarded by the Spectator Staff as one of the finest stories to appear in their supplement, it is herewith reprinted. — Art Mikol. The boy in Wayne ' s grip stiffened. Bv Courtesy Of The Spectator It was the ponderous weight of an unpleasant, poorly, shaven man that made the stairs creak so complainingly. The dimly lighted hallway was barely wide enough to permit his passage through it. The abundance of doorways denoted the fact that this was a tenement house. The cor- pulent one stopped hefore a doorway and with a jerkv, bending motion he dropped a paper to the floor. Then with his foot he shoved the paper beneath the door, rapped twice, and left as noisily as he had come. The rapping had disturbed three persons at their evening meal. The food was as meager as the room was bare and poverty striken. An elder- ' y. graying man quickly rose from the aged and cracked table and opened the door. When he saw no one, his eyes dropped fearfully to the thres- hold. After a slight start, he bent down and took the paper in his tremb- ling hands, then turned so his wife and young son could not see his dis- play of nervousness in the shaking of the paper. The note read as he had expected : S T O R Y A XI) VERSE 103 Rent too much overdue, give you two more days or get out. The questioning gaze from his wife caused him to flinch somewhat. The landlord is getting formal — thanking us for paying the rent. The anxiety passed from the features of the still youthful mother, and the fourteen-year old son laughed boyishly. The woman said happily and with a smile, Isn ' t it grand. Wayne? Since you got that job as a night watchman and Jimmy got that newspa- per job, we don ' t have to worry at all. I ' ll bet after awhile we can even move to a better place. Wayne grimaced and mumbled, )h, sure. Yes, of course. The fact of the matter was that he had no job. His method of obtain- ing cold cash used the slight bulge in his coat pocket. ( )nce as an engineer, he had built bridges and towers of steel. )nce he had been feted as one of the outstanding engineers of the country. Now . . ? Now, Wayne thought, there was nothing to look forward to but the education of his son. To make an engineer of his son, just as he once was! But there would be many lessons in the right way to carry on. If he had known when at his best, well. . . . I ' ve got a surprise for you daddy, Jimmy said in a confiding voice I finished my drawings this morning. limmy ran to a small cupboard from which he meticulously drew a small pile of papers and two much coveted pencils. Then from the papers he took one large, rather be-smudged, sheet and placed it before his father. The drawing was an excellent, though somewhat crude, portrayal of a small suspension bridge. )f course it lacked many features and intricate details but Wayne, as always would explain the needed details one by one and help complete Jimmy ' s drawings. But this lasted only for a short time, for both father and sun had to leave — Jimmy to attend to his papers and Wayne to maintain his life. This meant that he would have to stay out all night and sleep where he could, if at all. He put on a cheerful countenance. Well, guess what ? he lied, Going to be paid tonight. And he added rather haltingly, hating to be so deceiving, End of the week, you know. Then he kissed his wife and walked out to his street with Jimmy. After leaving him, Wayne began wandering aimlessly about, not knowing nor caring where he went in the inky blackness. After a time he passed a noticeably prosperous beer garden, which was not at the time, very busy. Wayne steeled his heart and mind to the task he had set out for himself. Walking to the bartender he quickly drew his gun and said calmly and tersely. Quick, everything in the reg- ister or I ' ll ' The expressionless man behind the bar turned to the register and removed the money from within. Then he handed the fistful to Wayne, KH T II E A k T I S A N S ' 36 who backed quickl) and carefully towards the door. He thought tin- man had made a funny gesture, but was not sure. Suddenly, and loudly. an alarm went off. He started impulsively. The finger about the trigger contracted. With the roar of the gun and shattering of glass, the barten- der sank slowly behind the bar. Wayne, dazed for the moment, suddenly came to bis senses, turned and ran into a street. As he rounded the corner a cop fired at him from the opposite side of the street. The shot went wild. Quickly he grabbed a boy nearby and forced him between the lines of fire. Wayne fired once. The cop fell, but with an answering roar from his gun. The hoy in Wayne ' s grip stiffened. Wayne turned and ran down the alley to his left and soon vanished from view. An hour later a broken and worn looking man was walking down a street a mile from the scene of the shooting. In the silent dirty fog. into the black night he walked, walked. At the crack of dawn the tenement house stairs creaked once more. Wayne, haggard, dark circles under his eyes, and wrinkled clothing, looked as he felt inwardly. When he entered his room his wife ran sobbing into his arms. Oh, Wayne, Wayne, Jimmy has been shot . . . Dead ... DISILLUSION By Ski. ma E. Moidel 1 cannot see you, et I feel your presence everywhere. Where once I saw beauty — I see it not — hut only ugliness! Can it be you. Disillusion? I cannot bear you. N it I know you speak to me. The voice that once said words of praise — 1 hear it not — but only jeers and taunts! Can it be you. Disillusion ? What powers do you have — That castles in the air must crumble at your touch: That each joy in the child must turn to sorrow in the man ; And love must turn to hate?

The setting sun was an artist Who painted the sky all gold, then pink, then grey, And when the last purple clouds of twilight went The look the sun away. The deep blue sky with its dark black clouds Was pierced with a golden glow. The tired old sun was saying Goodnight to the snug green earth below. The lights on the purple hills came out And In me they seemed to say: You are looking at God ' s riches, little child, ' (i one can take them away. WINGS By Margaret Worth Your sky was quiet mice And lonely, but for mounting lark And drifting cloud. Your sky is strident now And roaring with the fiery toys ( If earth in flight.

The riven cloud 106 I 1 1 E A K T ISAM S ' 3 6 ( ITHING EVER HAPPENS IN EL PAS . . . Bv Maxixr Mjckelson Nothing ever happens in El Paso, Texas. El Paso is situated on the northern banks of the muddy Rio Grande directly across from Juarez, Mexico. It is a city of no mean size, with a population of approximately 10,000 people. Jim gave a sigh of relief . . . they had not seen us! The part of the city that borders the river is the Mexican section. It is a filthy place. Squalid adobe bouses line the dusty, tortuous streets. Chickens cackle in pens improvised of netting, woven mesquito, and scrap tin. Old Mexican women sit at their displays of peppers and frijoles, with barefoot children playing at their feet, and Mexican youths loaf at the street corners. Farther out toward the North and West is the business section, and then comes the smaller shops, bakeries, garages, and so forth, while high above on The Mesa are the lovely homes of the residential district, with their smooth lawns, flowers and trees. Such is the plan of that quiet, law-abiding western city. Most of its citizens will boast that their Police Department usually has little to offer other than the general run of drunks, thefts, and petty crimes, but they do not know of the hundreds of gun battles waged between Govern- ment )fficers and Mexican smugglers, trying to cross the river, and of the tenseness and watchfulness hovering over that border-line throughout the nights. No, nothing ever happens in El Paso . . . But something did happen one night, and it didn ' t take place on the river, and it was anything but unimportant to me! This is the way it came about. We had made our home here in I ' d Paso recently, and though we did S T O R V AND VERSE 107 not live in the wealthy pari erf The Mesa, we did live in a pleasing and rather rural section not so far from it. )ur nearest neighbor was a little over two blocks away, and we were surrounded by tall trees. A short dis- tance from the house, and within clear view of my bedroom window, was our barn and corral. We owned two horses. )ne was my own. lie was a proud, beautiful black, with white fetlocks and a white star on his forehead. I called him Infante, and loved him more than life itself. ( ne morning I had been riding Infante, and on my way home I happened to pass a group of three Mexicans, who turned to watch my horse. He bad been admired many times, before, hut there was something in their manner that frightened me. ami I ran him the rest of the way home, related the incident to my father, but he only said that I was using my imagination t nuch, and told me to forget it. A few nights later found me home alone with my brother, lie was nineteen, three years my senior. My father had been called away for two or three days, and he had taken mother and my younger brother with him. I retired early, for the lack id ' something better tc do. |im soon fol- lowed suit. All was quiet fur several hours, when suddenly I awoke with a start. Could those sounds 1 thought I beard he coming from the corral? Was I dreaming? I rushed to the window, taking care not to be seen in case someone was down there. The sight that met my eyes sickened me. Three Mexicans were leading Bonita and my Infante away! Just then one man came between the moon and me. and I recognized him instantly as one of the three that had frightened me a few days before. My first impulse was to holler at them, awaken my brother, and immediately set out after them. But then I realized that would do no good. They were mounted on fleet horses, we would be on foot ; they were armed and I was within bullet-range. I wondered also if I should tell Jim right away. He might want to start right out after them, in bis anger, and that might result in bloodshed. I was indignant, infuriated, scared, and be- wildered all at once. h, what should I do? I moaned. Just then the clock downstairs chimed a quarter of two. The moon would soon go down, and in that period of darkness before dawn those filthy Mexicans would try to cross the river with our horses Once in Mexico, tliev could sell them, and I would never see my horse again. Thoroughly frightened, 1 raced to Jim ' s room. Jimmy! Jimmy! I panted. Brother, wake up! What ' s the matter with you, he drawled, sleepily. Have a night- mare or something ? Worse. Some Mexicans have stolen our horses. 1 saw them. I began to cry. Jim was awake now, sitting bolt upright. He just 108 J II E A R T I S A N S ' 36 stared for a second. Then, ( ' ome out of it now. Scramble into your clothes as quickly as you can. We ' ll have to go after them now before they try to cross the river. I scrambled, alright. Everything seemed scrambled. As we raced down the stairs. Jim handed me his automatic pistol, while he carried his rifle. I told him that I had recognized one of the men, and described him. lie had seen him too, he said, and knew where his hangout was loeated. We deeided it best to take the chance and go there, and to make the jour- ney on foot. We were pressed for time so we took the only short-cut, the section known as Park Street district or the Mexican section. After what seemed like hours of hurried, silent travel, we reached this part of town. It had seemed evil enough in daylight, hut at night it was terrifying. We hurried stealthily on, hugging the shadows and gripping our guns. Everywhere about us were smugglers ' nests. Those chicken and goat yards had become sinsiter; they were the goals of desperate men who often splashed their way across the Rio Grande from .Mexico. In their pens they would hastily conceal the dope or ammunition, then race hack across the river. Suddenly a man crossed the road directly in front of us. Another followed. Jim grabbed, pulled me close against the wall and stood motion- less. Then one man looked in our direction, spoke something to the other and they both paused. I was petrified with fear. But they resumed their former pace, apparently interested in something else. Jim gave a sigh of relief. They had not seen us ! We soon reached our destination, and I gave a cry of joy when we discovered that the two dark forms a short distance away were our horses. Jim had cautiously peered through the single window and found all three men in a drunken stupor! Infante! Infante! I called softly. The big black lifted his head began to move toward us. Bonita followed. They had not been tied. Slowly, silently, we unfastened the gate, and freed them. We would have had the thieves come to justice hut were glad to let well enough alone. It did not take us long to get out of that part of town, for we had to take no short-cut home. It was light when we triumphantly rode into the yard. The folks had just arrived too, and were relieved to see us all four safe. And Jim and I were certainly glad to have that night in the past! The Mexicans had succeeded in taking and keeping a saddle, so I accompanied my brother the next day when he went to report it. It was re- corded as was the horse-stealing, and nothing more was said there. We secured our horses again, didn ' t we? they asked. Well it was nothing. Nothing ever happens in El Paso.

A TRIBUTE By Morris Newman In memory I wander back, schoolmates. To the day when 1 first entered Manual Arts, I see the little bungalows, the memory fills my heart. I low we made the best of everything, teacher and pupil alike. We were thankful for those make-believes that sheltered us. Now we look with pride. And wonder at new buildings, firm and strong. And I hope. That when we leave it, not one of us will go wrong, Bui I will ever remember its teachings. For these. Manual Arts will always stand. 110 T II E A R T I S A N S ' 36 A LIFE THAT BURNED OUT Bv Shirley Dennis Tin; room was small, cold, and damp. There was a musty smell of dead air. A tiny light shone day and night over the table. Papers were With a sob his head dropped on outspread onus . . . everywhere, some torn and crumpled in a passion of hitter discouragement, some reverently placed in order. In the midst of this confusion sat the creator, unkempt, rumpled hair; rumpled clothes that hadn ' t been removed for days. And out of it all the staring, haggard, eyes, tortured and old. Not old with years, rather aged with sorrow, hunger, cold stark terror — terror of life. There had been hours of this — day stretching into night — night into day. Feverish work. Fitful sleep. Forgotten hunger. ( kit of it all a dream was unfolded. No! Rather a life. A soul flowed through finger tips on to paper. Pages throbbed with life. A character lived. A character con- trasting strangely with the author who gave it birth. The heart of the writer, his ideal, himself poured into writing. His own heart clothed in a different body. A Doer instead of a Dreamer. The Finis left the Dreamer strangely empty — a mere husk. With a sol) his head dropped on outspread arms over sheaves of paper! Mr. Norris sat in a spacious office high above the noisy streets of New York. He was reader for a famous publishing house. Needless to say, his job was something a boring one. Poled high on the side of the big mahogany desk were rejected manuscripts. Yesterday his eyes had strayed to the open window. He thought he detected the warmth of early spring. He longed for a vacation, a rest from words, words, words. Today was different. Listlessly be began a chapter. All boredom fled. S T O R Y AND V E R S E ill Slowly, interest gained possession of his features. Hours passed as he poured over the story. It was dusk when he finished. Strangely, as one in a dream, he walked to the window and stared out, God, what a character, tin- words held something of reverence. Through tlie evening at home his mind dwelt on the story, The man who could portray such a character — what of the man himself? With a start, Norris realized he had not noticed the author ' s name, so engrossed had he been in the story. He slept late the next morning. Secretaries cleared his desk. The re- jected manuscripts were returned with polite little We regret to have to reject cards. The accepted manuscripts were taken to the publishing room ' . Fate laughed in her sleeve at the dream-befogged brain of a man who had laid a masterpiece on the wrong pile. The light no longer shone over the little table. Gray dawn of another day saw the Dreamer waking from a sleep of the dead. His crumpled clothes more crumpled, hair more mussed. But in his bloodshot eyes was hope. And the knowledge of a task completed, a life work finished. Slowly he stretched — walked to the door — opened it. A package lay there. Square, compact, neatly t ied. A letter attached. He opened the envelope, took out a card, — We regret to have to reject — ' The card slipped From nerveless fingers. His eyes stared. Slowly he cut the binding cords. Slowly he crossed the room to the gas jet. Slowly and carefully he lit the gas. I ' age by page he burned what to him had meant his life, his very reason lor be- ing. Then he laughed, but without mirth. I wonder if Fate laughed this time as he leaned and blew mil the flame, leaving only the s-s-s of escaping gas. A SPARROW By. Morris Newman I ' m only a sparrow, not so beautiful to see. But I ' m always contented, as happy as can be. To the sunny south I do not go From the cold winds or the drifting snow ; But spend the winter as you can see In the city parks full of glee. Sometimes I fly to the country land. Just tu take a peep at the trees so grand. But I soon return, for never far do I roam Well do 1 love my city home. 112 THE A R T I S A X S ' 36 THE SCIENCE MAX By Layton Moore To most people a scientist is a strange form of being that never has any fun and wastes his whole life studying something that no one under- stands and that never does any good. One man, by the name of Michael Faraday, was called a fool because he played with glass jars. Roentgen was likewise called a fool for he was continually experimenting with glass tubes of different shapes. But both (if these men turned out to be among the world ' s greatest immortals. Faraday ' s experiment with a glass jar (tech- nically called Leyden jar) ended in the harnessing (if nature ' s most pow- erful force, electricity, and Roentgen was the discoverer of X-rays, both of which are very essential to our modern life. You are wrong again when you say that he never has any fun. lor Robert Millikan, one of our greatest scientists, enjoys his game of tennis and golf as well as any person would. You are wrong fur the third time when you say he never does any good, but he does study ; most likely hard- er than any person does. When we speak of a scientist we usually mean a physicist, and to show just how hard a man must study to become a scientist, or physicist, I would say he must know all there is to know. Mainly, he has to have a greater knowledge of mathematics than any other person. Albert Einstein, perhaps the most widely known scientist, is considered the world ' s greatest mathematician. Before a scientist begins research work, he must learn everything that is known about light. gravity, sound, the atom, electricity, magnetism, and strange to say even astronomy. Most of the above mentioned things are unknown to you, but they are things about which our daily lives revolve. You cannot name one of them that is not affecting you this very moment. Even if a person has learned all of these things he still might be a failure as a physicist. A scientist ' s job is unlike any other. A business man does not need to have any interest in his work, but a scientist does. As I said, even if a person has learned all there is to learn, he might be a failure as a scien- tist, for a scientist ' s job is to find out what is not learned, although he must have all knowledge there is in order to do this. And in order to find what is not learned he must have a limitless imaginati on, for he is continually working with things that are best explained by saying they are and they aren ' t. True, a person must work in order to become a scientist and even then failure is often the result, but to him who succeeds in this field goes the richest rewards. Not only rewards in money, but rewards in satisfaction. Satisfaction that he has done something for the world by which he can be remembered. For the scientist does not merely exist : he lives, and has a seal in the theatre of the universe from where he can watch, and enjoy thoroughly the greatest show of all, that of nature.

It came to me today, worse luck. When my brain was at its best. I could not think and my mind turned blank, In the middle of a Latin test. Even at home on quiet school nights. With homework scattered all about, I think of a dip in the briny deep Or a mountain streamlet filled with trout. And I wonder on in jumbled thoughts Until at last I can visualize Myself on a horse, in the cool of eve Underneath the starry skies. Dreaming away, I forgot the books That I know I need for class. So my teachers say if 1 don ' t perk up They ' re afraid I will not pass. But who on earth can concentrate With a mind in such confusion? ALONE Anon Dedicated to 11. E. M. loiie ? Yes. quite alone.

He saw himself as a great composer. But being a Pole, he also saw himself as the savior of Poland — every young Pole of his country did. In his case the two visions united in the dream of saving Poland by his music. During the century of their bondage, from 1815 to 1915, the men of Poland throve on the legend of their country ' s marthyrdom. When the war broke out Poles all over the world (especially American) were gripped by a feverish hope: the hour for whose advent they had prayed for a century, struck at last. In 1914 Paderewski, wealthy, successful, and happy was living in bis idyllic retreat on Lake Leman, Switzerland. But Ignace, the great patriot, started in 1915, at Geneva, a relief fund for his countrymen. I le contribu- ted his money, his time, bis art, bis sleep, his health to the cause. Then he came to America. His arrival in America virtually marked the end of his career as an artist, and the beginning of his career as a statesman. At the end of the war the White Eagle of Poland was soaring high again on the day when the Black Eagle of Prussia was smitten dead. Once more there was a government at Warsaw; once more there was a Polish army. When Paderewski arrived in Poland, successful, be was made a Prime Minister. He endured the hopeless muddle of Polish politics for a year — he sacrificed the last remnants of his wealth, bis nervous energy, bis hopes. Then he resigned in 1919. Beginning all over again, he once more became the world ' s greatest artist. He still wants to be rich in order to serve an ideal — he wants to aid bis beloved Poland. In the spring of 1936, Ignace Jan Paderewski consented to broad- cast, by radio, his great ability as a pianist to millions. For a moment his art conquered the world, and after he has passed on he will be remembered by a minuet. w ;SJ.; ci j - V A« 118 THE ARTIS A X S ' 3 (, PLAYERS ' O )MI ' ANY The Manual Arts funior and Senior Players ' Company had one of their most successful terms in years under the able leadership of Mrs. Eby and Howard Culver. The companies functioned as a whole and produced several small plays for the entertainment and enjoyment of the members. A tea was given in the midterm by Mrs. Eby, with leap year as the theme. The girls acted as hosts and were required to escort the males and to ask them to dine and dance. hi the latter part of the term a banquet was held and offices were turned over to the new incoming officers. The cabinet of S ' 36 includes sponsor.

DRAMA AND MUSIC 119 MANUAL ARTS BAND The .Manual Arts Band consists of Eifty-seven pieces this term. Il is a combination of the Army Hand and the Concert Band, and one of the largest bands that Manual has ever had. It has showed an improve- ment over the last term in its work. Perhaps this is due to the splendid bass section which is one of the most essential parts of a good band. Public appearances the Hand has enjoyed making this semester in- cluded playing at the Gilmore Stadium for the ( )lympic Circus, proceeds of which were to be used in sending American athletes to the next ( llvm- pic games. Officers oi the Hand this semester have been I loward Bergherm, president; Jack Hicks, vice-president; Leo Sinclair, manager; and Bill llollenbeck, secretary-treasurer. Mr. William Killgrove is musical director. MUSIC CLUB Good fellowship through music is expressed by the members of the Music Club. It is composed, for the most part, of music students, but any- one who enjoys the besl of music in the best of companj is cordially wel- comed. The president, assisted by a member appointed each time by the spon- sor, has been in charge of the programs which stressed modern music, illustrated by the artists of the school and by piano and victrola re- cordings. The officers are as follows; Bill llollenbeck. president; Sam Stumpf, vice-president; Ruth Mohr, secretary, and Morris Newman, treasurer. Miss L enore Snow is the club ' s sponsor. M VNUAL ARTS STRING ENSEMBLE If the game is worthwhile it is worth team work, good sportsman- ship, fine technique, and an appreciation of the spirit of the game. Mak- ing music, in a group with others, is a great game. This is what Manual ' s String Ensemble feels and knows to be true. Following the rules of the game, understanding the signals, and working not only for their own pleasure, but for the pleasure of others- -these things make the playing of music a wonderfully interesting game. Hard practice and many public appearances have made this a fascinating activity for the members. Ed Glick and Glendora Calderwood are first and second violins of the group: Sam Cohen plays the viola, and Jeanette de Moulin plays the cello. Clara Silvers presides ai the piano. Miss Ina M. Davids is the mus ical director. IJ T H E A KTISAN S ' 36 A Cappella Choik Manual Four Girls ' Lyric Club 1) R A M A A X !) M U S I C 121 A CAPPELLA CHOIR It is with great pleasure that the A Cappella Choir has this semester made a bow before the public in presenting a delightful evening program in our own Recital Hall, during the month of May. Much preparation in study of suitable concert music and publicity and advertising of various sorts, has kept the club fired with enthusiasm and made the sixty-four members proud of the organization in its accomp- lishment. The opportunity to sing in a group such as this does not conic to every person, and these members realize the thrill of real harmony, the sense of blending their own personality and voices with others, and the feeling of we!l-heing when beautiful interpretations, combined with good diction, and clock-work attacks and releases make towards artistic presen- tation. Great plans are being made to continue the popularity of this club, and appearances outside of school are considered splendid publicity for Manual, and advance the popularity of this group. The club officers are John Wilson, president; Dave Rickman, vice- president; Maxine Mickelson, secretary-treasurer; Mary Houston and Sammy Armijo, librarians; and .Miss Mottern, adviser and director. MANUAL F( UR From fame to riches! Who knows? Who can forecast the far-flung influence this group of fellows may have on each other, on the future years, and their future successes? It is one of the happiest hours oi the day which is spent in preparing numbers for the many public appear- ances which they have scheduled for this year. A former member of the Manual Four has gone on with quartette work and has made many an audience feel happy or sad. as be has sung from various cities ia the est on a number of Orpheum and Lyceum Circuits. lie graciously attributes his start in professional life to his Manual experiences, and the same may at sometime be said many times over of the present members ol the Four. Manx ' audiences are being entertained by this jovial quartette, which works three clays a week extra time, for their mutual enjoyment and the pleasure they can give to the numerous audiences that they have en- tertained. There certainly is the thrill of accomplishment in reproducing music, interpreting it well, and knowing that their work is well done. The members are Arthur Michel, first tenor; Gordon Little, second tenor; John Silver, first bass; and iarth Jensen, second bass ; Miss Eliza- beth Mottern is the director and accompanist. 122 THE A R T I S A N S ' 36 THE Y CAL CLUB The Vocal Club by its own choice has taken for an objective, this term, the production of a comic opera, The Boojam of Bagore. The principal parts art being taken by some of the members who are students in the voice class, several choruses are being learned by the entire club, and dramatic action, in both the speaking and singing parts, is being worked out by the leads. This was presented before another club, at the end of the term, and was full of spicy comedy, lovely melody, and was enjoyed by all who heard it. The cast has found it much fun to do a comic opera, and the chor- us and the remainder of the club was the audience and critics. The leading parts were taken by Margaret Woodward, Carolyn Breck- enridge, Norma Weis, Leona Turetsky. Ethel Mae Kinsey, Verdell Bean, Eddie Robertson, John Silver, Lawrence Honeberg, Dick Burgeson, and Richard Koontz, Miss Mottern is the sponsor and director of the production. A SONG FROM THE GIRLS ' LYRIC CELT, What does singing mean to me? Joy and precious ecstasy ; A chance to see the home of gods ; A chance to rise above the clods of life that seek to weigh me down ; To leave behind the tear and frown ; To mingle there on heights sublime, And laugh and dance with friends of mine Who, like me, love beauty, too. To be part of something fine And make the lives of others shine For a moment with the glow That through my song they ' ve come to know; To listen with a keener ear For notes that all the angels hear; To live, and grow, and seek to he. This my singer means to me. Officers: Sophie Zaferis, president; Virginia Hays, vice-president dent; Eva Lorona, treasurer; Jane Sperling, secretary; Rosita Stuart, student adviser; Ina M, Davids, musical director.

A number oi years ago, (his very fitting and forceful quotation became the loved motto of this Manual Arts organization, fts meaning, deep and lull of beauty, is an ever present reminder of the unlimited power winch may be a personal achievement and which is a goal of every member of the Aeolian Club. Music is a great driving force, is loved by people all over the world, is the one common language which can be spoken and understood by all, whether they be trained or untrained listeners or performers, old or young, rich or poor. In offering to the young men of our school an opportunity to develop musically and physically, training their talents of voice through beautifully blended harmonies, a richer experience in life often begins with membership in this group. The blending of many voices is not alone in its importance, for the blending of personality, good citizenship, fellowship and happiness are of vast interest to all in this well known organization. ( Hit of this group go many young men. who have been encouraged to continue their musical careers into later life, and often the unusually talented singers have gone in for music as their life ' s vocation. Those responsible for carrying out the season ' s activities so well are: Yerdell Bean, president; Garth Jensen, vice-president; Joe Corn- stock, secretary; Henry Haneburg, treasurer; Mario Ontiveras, librarian; Harry Sanders, manager and historian, and Miss Elizebeth Mottern, director and adviser (if the club. 124 THE ARTISAN S ' 3 6 Senior ( rch estra Occupational Instruments Little Symphony D R A M A AND MUSIC 125 THE SENIOR ORCHESTRA The Senior Orchestra, under the capable leadership of Air. William T. Killgrove, is one of the man)- musical organizations at Manual Arts. It is composed of a group of talented musicians who are putting forth all their efforts in making the orchestra an organization of which the student body will be proud. This organizaition, like all true Manual organizations, has its self government. Bruce MacRae, president; Sam Stumpf, vice-president; Mary Jean llaynes, secretary; and Doris Darnell, treasurer, have been the successful officers this term. ( (CCUPATK NAL INSTRUMENTS The original Symphonic Hand has been trying something quite dif- ferent this term. It has become an Occupational Instrument class in which the members learn about other instruments. ( )n certain days in the week those who wish are permitted to practice on an instrument which they have not played before. These are helped by the ones who play their regular instruments. The other days are spent in playing Symphonic music. At the beginning of the term some of the fundamentals of music were reviewed by daily tests until most of the class can now arrange or- chestrations and harmonies for several instruments. Although it has been hard for those who never have taken harmony, much has been learned and all have enjoyed doing this type oi work. The capable officers for this term have been: Kill Hollenbeck, pres- ident; Howard Bergherm, vice-president; Goldie Futoran, secretary; Roy Billings, treasurer. The group has been under the efficient supervision of Mr. killgrove. adviser. THE LITTLE SYMPHONY ( )ur name suggests the type of organization we are. We, the mem- bers, enjoy playing in the orchestra because it is interesting and educa- tional. It gives us valuable practice, helping us to think more quickly and accurately in musical terms. The Little Symphony this term has had the honor of playing for the Women ' s City Club, and of appearing at Audubon Junior High School Auditorium on Public Schools Night. The officers this semester are : Bruce MacRae. president ; Sam Stumpf, vice-president; Edith Smith, treasurer; Mr. William T. Kill- grove. musical director and adviser. 1J(, T 1 1 E A R T I S A N S ' 3 6 (liRi.s ' Jr. Glee Club Vocal Club Boys ' Jr. ( jlee Club DRAMA AND MUSIC 127 GIRLS ' JUNK IE GLEE CLUB Sixty-two wide awake, ambitious young ladies who meet every day, period seven, in bungalow fourteen to participate in an activity that contributes most satisfactorily to their cultural development, as well as to their recreational propensities. The zest and enthusiasm which accompanies the efforts of the girls proves the latter reaction. An intimate glimpse into the hearts of these girls reveals hopes, aims, and ambitions for a future musical career. There are those who would like to sing in light opera. One whose goal is grand opera and the Metropolitan is very sincere in this desire. Several expect to do church work. Then, there is the girl who expects to become a professional reader and hopes to develop a better speaking voice by singing. .Many of the girls are using the Junior Glee as a stepping stone to the Lyric Club. There are the girls who just love to sing and want to know more about music. Some are using glee club work for their appreciation credit and, believe it or not, one of the girls will never be happy until she can sing on Major Bowes ' program, gong or no gong. The following girls contribute very satisfactorily in their official capacity, to the success of the club: Dolores Todd, president; Ruth Wright, vice-president; Doris Bellman, secretary; Lois Keck, treas- urer; Blanche Jean llubler, and Bernabett Lawler, librarians. B IYS ' JUNK )R GLEE CLUB Perhaps not in the entire school would one find as varied and cos- mopolitan group of boys as in the organization. They join this club for many reasons: several being, the enjoyment of good part singing, chances to develop their own voices, and opportunities to learn more about music and its many phases in the modern music world. This semester each fellow has had turn in bringing interesting re- ports on different countries, and each week a new country, its history, customs, economic conditions, traditions, legends and music is heard and sung to illustrate the folk lore of thai people. All this interesting study is in addition to the regular daily study of singing. Many vivid discussions lake place concerning all phases of music, and the fellows find themselves becoming more and more interested in the activities of music going on around them. Tin- club officers include: Rex Thomas, president; Frank Bosom- worth, vice-president; Bob Greenburg, secretary-treasurer; Allan Com- ings, librarian, and Miss Elizabeth Motter, director and adviser.

This a humorous vehicle of comedy characters and reveals the family life and worries of a certain few individuals in Idaho. As the youngest daughter of the home returns from college, where she has been majoring in political science, tempermental hallucinations occur. In her decision between a career or marriage, this young lady merely loads another worry on her shoulders of her father and mother. Andrew, the one and only hoy of the household, being sixteen, ambitious, and in love, is revealed as the average high school male, a trifle on the negligent side, with an interest in business and a nose for the affairs of others. His nature, however, is like that of his sister, sweet underneath an exterior of moods. The father and consoler of this family, a judge in Boise, Idaho, assumes the position of chief adviser along with his wife. Because of a certain political conditions and the questionable outcome of the judge ' s nomination and election, a storm is continually being brewed. The mother manages the home. With the tribulations of her two married daughters, who are trying to find fault with their respective homes and husbands; the engagement of her youngest daughter, Marian; the nomination of her husband, Mrs. I lardy finds a burden to carry, but with her inimitable courage ami perseverance, she succeeds in keeping the family peaceful. Aunt Milly, old maid school teacher, putting her finger in every- body ' s pie in a sweet, gentle way, gives much needed advice in the right place. Along with her dignity and helpfulness there remains sorrow that she has never married. Myra and Estelle, with their families, give a flavor of two who have been wronged. Estelle doesn ' t get out enough. Myra needs underwear. These two finally patch their problems and continue to grace their re- spective homes in as graceful a manner as their inheritance permits. As the sweetheart and husband-to-be of Marian, Mr. Wayne Tretonn from New York, works into the family life in Idaho as well as can be expected. Although he is stopped in his love-making by the po- litical campaign of his fiance, all comes out well in the end and they ap- parently live happily ever alter. 130 T H E A RTISAN S ' 3 6 WINSTON CHURCHILL— SOLDIER OF FORTUNE By Virginia Merrill ne meaning to be derived from the phrase, soldier of fortune, is one who fights for pay, or love of adventure under the flag of any country. Yet, the finer meaning of the phrase speaks of the man, not necessarily military, who makes his own fortune. And when an opportunity conies his way, he leaps to meet it, and turns it to his own advantage. Such is Winston Churchill. Even at an early age, as a boy officer, he ran away to Cuba and fought with the Spaniards. Then, because of the publicity he received from this escapade, he became a well-paid war correspondent. In his restless activities he two years later won distinction fighting in India (1897), and the Sudan (1898). And while acting as correspon- dent for the London Morning Post he was taken prisoner by the Boers, during their disputes with the British. The Right Honorable Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill has achieved success and distinction in, at the very least, five different careers — as a soldier, a war correspondent, a lecturer, an author, and as a politician. In each he has shone and ranked with the best. For as a politician there has been, and is, no one, with perhaps the exception of David Lloyd-George, who excels him as a parliamentary speaker in Great Britain. His was the life of a typical cadet. For from his military affairs he found and sought the opportunities by which he might be a benefit to his countrymen. An English statesman once said. It has not been her states- men who have made Great Britain, but rather her adventurers. Winston Churchill, however, has done his part to better England by being both a statesman and adventurer. By having been a youthful personality, filled with vitality, Winston Churchill ' s life fires young men to heights of true cadetship. 132 THE ARTISAN S ' 3 6 Cadet Major Charles Fisi-ibeck Major William R.

Aside from having to drill, march, and play as a hand, it also serves as a rifle company. As Company D it handled the same close order, extended order, rifle exerises, and theoretical program as the other companies in the battalion. In this manner it ful- filled a double requirement. The band has played at several activities including an appearance at Audubon Junior High School during Public School Week, and in the Memorial Day parade. The band is under the command of Captain Howard Bergherm and Lieutenant LeRoy Smith. Much credit is given to the non-commissioned officers for their efforts in making the band a smooth and efficient organization. As a social event the R.( .T.C. band combined with the concert band and enjoyed a banquet. Mr. Killgrove acted in the double role of musical instructor and faculty adviser. M ITITAR Y 137 ,KM RIFLE TRAM The rifle team is one of the oldest organizations in the R.O.T.C. In it are grouped the cadets who are the best shots in the battalion. The teams of past years have left behind them plaques and cups, which stand for hours of practice and coaching with the utmost patience. This year the team placed third in the National Intercollegiate Matches. The members of the team were awarded individual medals. The members of the team are: Captain Houy, Captain Sanz, Lieu- tenant Tedford, Lieutenant Bonde, Lieutenant Robinson, Lieutenant Laird, Sergeant Wiegman, Sergeant I ' arsons. Sergeant Swatt, Sergeant McLean, Sergeant Culver, and Sergeant March. Much of the credit for excellence of the team is due to First Ser- geant C. E. Littler, their coach. His untiring effort and personal interest, are what make a good rifle team possible. R. O. T. C. OFFICERS ' CLUB The R.O.T.C. Officers Club is an organization composed of the cadet officers of the battalion and sponsored by Major Wilson. It has an organized cabinet and various committees functioning under their representative chairmen. The cabinet is composed of the following members: president, Cap- tain Leslie Houy; vice-president, Captain Joe San : secretary treasurer. Robert Formhals. President Captain Leslie Houy is the only person ever to bold the office of president for two or more consecutive terms, and also is the only lieutenant to ever hold his office. 138 THE ARTISAN S ' 36 MANUAL ARTS DRILL SOUAD By Captain Leslie Houy The present drill squad was formed at the beginning of this term under the command of Captain Houy. The team consists of eight mem- bers and the captain. This term the team has drilled at various interesting plac es such as the Army and Navy Club, where the audience was composed of such people as the chief of police, district attorney, sheriff of the county of Los Angeles, community civic leaders, a rear admiral of the Navy and the cadet majors of all the 1 . ). T. C. units in the city. They have also drilled at the Leonard Wood American Legion I ' ost, Patriotic Hall, and several school assemblies. The drill is done with the regular service rifle weighing almost nine pounds. The rifle is spun, twirled, and twisted like a drum-major ' s baton. The members of the team are as follows: Captain Leslie Houy, commanding; Captain Joe Sanz. second in command; Lieutenant Therone Hush; Lieutenant Arnett Hartsfield; Lieutenant Edward Bonde; Lieuten- ant Lester Grossman; and Sergeant Boh Hills. These same members were all on the non-commissioned officers ' drill squad of last term. MILITARY 139 Cadets In Preparation 140 THE ARTISAN S ' 36 MAJ( R BURNHAM, KING F SCOUTS By Virginia Merrill An interest is aroused in one ' s mind in the life of Frederick Russell Burnham mainly because that which he attempted, he accomplished. And because he is one of the earliest and best types of .American, still living. Burnham inherited his instinct for woodcraft from his father, and to this instinct, which in him was as keen as in a wild deer or a mountain lion, he had added, in the jungle and on the prairie and mountain ranges, years of the hardest, most relentless schooling. In those years he trained himself to endure the most appalling fatigues, hunger, thirst, and wounds; subdued his brain to infinite patience, had learned to force bis body to absolute obedience, to still even the beating of bis heart. Few men have devoted themselves to their life ' s work more earnestly, more honestly, and with such a single-mindedness of purpose. To him scouting was as exact a study as is the piano to Paderewski, with the result that today what the Pole it to other pianists, the American is to all other trackers, woodmen, and scouts. He stands for the Sherlock Holmes of all out-of-doors. Like a typical cadet, besides being a scout, be was a soldier, hunter, mining expert, and explorer. His instinct led him, as a mining expert, to the hiding places of copper, silver, and gold, and as he advised, great and wealthy syndicates would buy or refuse tracts of land in Africa and Mex- ico as large as the State of New York. Though Major Burnham was an American, the King of England dec- orated him with the D.S.O. (Distinguished Service Order) for service rendered Great Britain in South .Africa. England owes much of her prosperity in East Africa to the brave little band, beaded by Major Burnham, that faced hardships and dangers in discovering her hidden resources. The Major chose men from the United States, England, Ireland, and South Africa for their sterling qualities, and they justified his choice. Not the least like a hero was the retiring, dif- fident little Major himself, though a finer man for a friend or a better man to serve under could not be found in the five continents. 142 1 H E A R T I S A N S ' 3 6 T( ) THE CADETS: I commend your modesty; temporarily, at least, Cadets; not already Commanders, Conquerors, Captains, Admirals, and Generals, as some other classes have designated themselves. Yet the designation Cadets carries with it sufficient ideals and demands to challenge the best that is in you. There is the hope of the ultimate attainment of the honors that other classes prematurely bestowed upon themselves. The title Cadet was First applied to the younger suns of the nobility, where noblesse oblige was the proud characteristic. It might be then that Cadets would seek as their first honor, as the song has it. to become captains of their own souls before going on to other conquests equally important. Etymological relationship or derivation always has intrigued me. Caddie is related to Cadet. Caddies, too, at times attain greatness as amateur or professional golfers, or as the business associates ot the captains of industry, whose clubs they once carried. Cad however, is the black sheep of the family, of whom all men speak evil. Well, here is good hick to you, Cadets! May you find all the opportunities for service which alone can assure the conditions for advancement and happiness. Albert E. Wilson. Principal FEATURES 143 Albert K.

When I was asked, by a friend, what I knew of Charles Fonda, I regretfully responded that I knew very little from a personal relation- ship; but much as a student who was guided under his skillful hand. I believe that a personality which could be viewed favorably by the masses, was far superior to a personality viewed favorably by a few friends. As Charles Fonda knew hundreds of boys intimately, we may venture to say that he will always be held in their highest esteem, as he held such a fine influence over them. If there was any unpopularity it did not rise from his personality, but from the office he occupied. Now that the teachers of Manual Arts personally contact many of those concerned with petty offences, the work of the office is better understood. The wisdom of this noble man can best be expressed by his unselfish thoughts pertaining to Divine Intervention. He once told a teacher at Manual Arts who was broken-hearted over the loss of her sister, that brooding was selfish. His philosophy was associated with his office. He expected from boys everything that was right and fine, and demanded that all undesirable qualities be removed. It might be said that the following motto best ex- plains the philosophy of Charles Fonda — When you play football, hit the line hard, with no fouling, with no shirking, but, hit the line hard. He indeed commanded the respect of the faculty, and the respect of the girls and boys, always. FEATURES 147 FACULTY Dr. Albert E.

According to Marvin Katzman, Judge Shaw told him of a case wherein a man who was supposed to receive $14 hut only was given $1- for his week ' s work by his employer. Knowing that he should have re- ceived two dollars more, the man sued in Small Claim Court.

Record Set in Rope Pull March 26— The Sr. Bee ship of state slid off the docks into Davy Jones ' Locker yesterday, sent there by a crushing defeat administered by the history-making Cadet class. With the words Don ' t give up the ship ringing in their ears, the Midshipmen were forced to abandon their ship and take to life boats as their teams went down in successive defeat, the final score being 4-1. To a fanfare and burst of cheering, the Senior Bee class filed to their places on the temporary bleachers. Presidents of the two classes exchanged greetings. Songs and yells of both classes were then given. The Cadets got off to an early start by tak- ing an easy first in the hundred yard dash. Maurice Frazier won in the record time of 10.5s. A clean sweep was accomplished in the next event, the tug o ' war, as the Cadets were vic- torious, taking the second pull in the record time of 5s. flat. The day was put on ice when Winger, fly- ing Cadet colors, pushed his bicycle into a four- ty yard lead on the next to the last lap and held it to the tape. Not content with merely winning the day, the inspired Cadet obstacle team swept down the field and back again to take that event. This team was composed of Wolfskill and Bach- man in the wheelbarrow, Gonzales backward, Galusha with the pail of water, and Maeda and Pedersen running threelegged. At this point Mr. Hodge, Senior Aye chair- man, was heard to say, Senior Day would be much more interesting if we were furnished some competition.

John | Scolinos appeared with a beard supposedly grown in a week, which would do credit to I Man Mountain Dean. When the close scrutiny | of the judges revealed that the hair was not very closely attached to Scolinos ' face, the fun started. Scolinos claimed that the contest rules did I not specify that the beard had to be self-grown. The A.B.S. claimed that that meaning was implied.

The periods were cut from 10 to 8 in number, and increased in length from 45 minutes to an entire hour. With this new urogram, it was possible to create a special activity peril id for club meetings. Previous to this term, organizations held their meetings during lunch periods or after school. In this way, it was possible for a student to belong to numerous clubs. Many teachers maintained that students did not do justice to any one club by having membership in so many. Numerous new problems were created, and to quote Dr. Wilson, If the activity program does not prove satisfactory to everyone concerned, it will be discontinued next term. Although the plan has operated well at other schools, it is still in an experimental stage at Manual. However, the majority of comments have been favorable so far. Several new activities made their appearence this term. They covered as wide a field as can be imagined — badminton to world travel. The latter group, with a membership of 250, made a trip around the world with 10 stops, and never left Manual. The language clubs were ex- ceptionally busy. The Spanish adherents found it necessary to make- two divisions according to grade, and the other languages were also swamped with members. The movie fans re-organized, 150 strong, and as a result, they not only discussed current films, but were able to secure several short pictiures for local exhibition. Visual education came into its own in other groups; the Travel and German Clubs especially. Several teachers were able to radiate their spec ' al talent. For example: Miss Cheroske ' s Foreign Cookery Club and Mr. Newton ' s Philology Club. New organizations sprang up in every department — Industrial Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies and all the rest. Many, perhaps, are destined to fade into oblivion from lack of support, but those which are going to stick will soon be obvious. There are always those time-tested bodies such as the Senior Forum and the Press Club that form the back-bone -if the entire system. Surprisingly, there are over n() clubs from which to choose. The purpose of such a wide selection is to give the student a chance either to enter a club in which he can display his particular talent, or one in which he will receive different views and ideas than those he obtains from his regular curriculum. Manual can indeed be proud of such a variety of well organized clubs. FEATURES 155 AXITA BRANT ' S MADONNA This inspired and inspiring little statuette lias caused a stir among artists and has been in the news. also. It was mentioned and reproduced in the L. A. Times and the Southwest Wave. Most of you know the story. Anita saw this Madonna with her inner eyes so plainly that she had to take up Clay Art long enough to model it. So she left the Life Drawing Class, and made this figure. Then Death called the young sculptress, just as art critics had had their earliest oppor- tunity to pronounce this figure a real work of art. Such incidents fill the thoughtful with inspiring speculations about the unprovable realities of Life — and of Death. Thank you again. Anita, for your sojourn among us, and your memento left to us — this uplifting little figure of the greatest woman. 156 T HE ARTISAN S ' 36 LUNCH— PERIOD OF RELAXATION I !y I -1st 1 1 1:1; Klin in Ever since the first students of .Manual began to consume the mid- day meal in that joyous time known as the lunch period, hoys have had certain favorite spots, girls have had cithers, and never the twain have met. AH around the shop building the male lunchers perch ; preferring the hack of the bench to the comfortable seat. No one has ever yet seen a girl invade these sacred premises. In the square formed by the Cafe. Art Building, and Senior Hall, may he found dozens of little groups, either masculine or feminine. All with hut one aim in view — to carry on a rapid conversation while consuming sandwiches. Traveling westward to the Girls ' Gym and R. ( . T. C. Barracks it is discovered that privates and non-coms prefer the bench under the tall stairway; while the officers cluster around the refuse container, shedding the light of their countenances upon their doting lassies. The school officers may he seen in serious conferences during lunch periods on, or near, the bench in front of English Hall ; or in more care- free moments, they may be found playing handball near the band room. Eminent journalists, unable to forsake their duties, are to be found in the editorial rooms, snatching bites between sentences. And the editors of the Daily and Artisan can ' t be found. A certain element of students prefers to get away from it all, during the period. These are to be found within a radius of a block from the school, partaking of rich and toothsome concoctions, and nervously listening for the bell, which must not catch them unawares. The actual content of the student ' s lunch depends largely on die time he arose, and whether he had any homework to do before leaving for school. L ' sually. it consists of a large paper pag, containing one or more sandwiches. Lhiappetizing in appearance to all save their creator; Mime species of fruit and cake; and the meal is topped with a dessert of ice-cream or candy from the cafeteria. ( Ine other class of lunch must not be neglected. This is known as the bash line. Mere, the Manualites obtain small paper containers of various foods. These he proceeds tn balance atop his pile of books. If, when the student arrives at his destination, the contents of his plates are intact, and minus insects, ashes, or dust, he considers himself extremely fortunate. Usually, however, one or more persons in the between-bell rush will contrive to upset the student, his books, and lunch. Thus, it will probably always be. unless the powers that be. devise a method of having a huge dining room where students may eat as in a commercial cafeteria. However, there is something so typical of modern youth in the present system that it wuuld lie a shame to change it. FEATURES 1 57 ARTISAN ALUMNI By Lawrence J. I ' . Gilbert From beginning to end, all through a long list, there appear names, with which the every-day world of governmental politics, literature, athletics, and common industry, have become familiar. That they have a spirit that is unsurpassed, has been proved time and again. The motto, which all true Artisans remember always is: It Can Be Done, and it has turned out to he a stark truth rather than a purely lyrical expression, Los Angeles County ' s District Attorney, Buron A. Fitts, is the man most typical of all the departed graduates. Winter or Summer, since the founding of this educational institution in the far-gone year of 1912. Not merely content with being the People ' s choice for the high office which he holds, that of criminal prosecutor, or I). A. for the past eight years. be has announced his intentions of running for this honorable position again, and stands a grand chance of getting a third term. Main- times, this austere gentleman, although high in the field of his chosen work, has turned his attention back to his Alma Mater. In 1934, when the Toiler tracksters were unable to journey Northward, for the all-important State meet, he financed the hoys for the over-night trip, after all hope of going was abandoned by these City Champion track men and their supporters. Lawrence Tibbett of the Winter class of 1915, is the next ranking in this article: but id the two, is far more famous internationally, than his brother alumnus in politics. In the Alumni Year Hook of 1920, this man, who is acclaimed the world ' s greatest baritone, is spoken of thus: Tibbett is receiving well-earned recognition in musical circles. After amassing a financial fortune in being sponsored by the world famous Metropolitan Opera Company of Xew York. Tibbett turned towards the motion picture field, making such hits as The Rogue ' s Song. and Metropolitan. The radio was his next venture, and as he sang over the nationally broadcasted network, millions of people who have never seen him, or known that he studied at Manual Arts, came to appreciate his golden voice, until today, he stands supreme as the leading singer of bis field in all the world. Superior Court Judge Goodwin J. Knight, of the class oi W ' 15, who was student body president while Tibbett was a Senior here, is at the pre- sent time, 20 years later, the very top, in his profession. After continued successes in the field of law. when as a fledgling at this business he studied under Schweitzer and Hulton. attorneys at law in the old Citizens ' National Bank Building, he graduated a bracket to a Municipal Judgeship. The last of the Big Four, is no other person than Major Jimmie Doolittle. when our well-known hero alumnus graduated ' way back in 158 THE ARTISAN S ' 36 14. his legacy was written this way in the Artisan of that semester: Then you see this meek looking lad, James Doolittle ; he was such a won- derful discoverer you know, he discovered the Fifth Dimension and then wrote a treatise on the subject which showed it to lie such a simple thing that now it is taught in the sixth grade. He was a quiet lad, moody, and oftimes reflective, never seemed to take this life very seriously, and was always full of fun. Doolittle ' s accomplishments have even surpassed Lindbergh ' s. Whereas the Lone Eagle merely flew to Paris from New York for an intrinsic purpose, a prize of $25000, the Major ' s deeds have been for the advancement and progress of aeronautics, llis flights have been many. His most spectacular by far, was his flight in 1921 at Long Island Airport (N.Y.). For the first time in the history of aviation, he took a plane off the field flew about and landed safely while out of view of the good old terrafinna. lie was flying entirely via his dashboard, or hlind! In 1025, in winning the Schneider Cup races for sea planes, Lt. Doolittle, flying a Curtiss craft completed the course of 210 miles in 56 minutes! A speed of 232.573 m.p.h. Incidentally, this record flight not only brought him international fame, but exceeded the former course- mark by 55 miles per hour. Only recently, the gallant Major set a new record for land planes from New Orleans to Chicago, and the speed marl of 21 hours, 20 minutes for the Miami-San Diego course. He is no amateur at this game. His work has always shown the great courage that lies hidden underneath his meek outward appearance. In the great world of sport, there have been many excellent athletes turned out of the Vermont Ave. school. Far in the spring of 1015, when history tells us that a youngster named Harry Lamport, in the California State meet preliminaries, set a Manual track record — that at the same time was a new world ' s standard till the present era of 1930 (we hold our own). Lamport, one of the twins, Harry and Warren, set a low hur- dles mark of 24.4 seconds for the 220 yard barriers. It still stands today, 20 years later as a school record. Harry, after leaving U.S.C. was em- ployed by the city, as a supervisor of L.A. playground activities. Teachers who have graduated from the old school in the past and who have returned are: Bessie Bergman, Monica Kernberger, Florence Koehler, Mary Lockwood, Herman Hess. James Blewett, and Vernon Hodge. Jeanette Gilbert, Zelah Marshall, and Helen Maynard are secre- taries at the school. FEATURES 159 REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION By Jack Carlow A National Republican Convention was held in the gymnasium on May 28. At a meeting of committeemen, appointed by each class, it was de- cided it should be a Republican Convention as it was quite obvious that President Roosevelt will be the Democratic candidate. The call to order was by the National Republican Committee Chair- man, Jack Carlow. The Star Bangled Banner was then played bv the Manual Arts Band under the direction of William Killgrove. The in- vocation was offered by the Reverend James Harold Morre, minister of tlie Plymouth Congregational Church. A Convention call was given by George Gallo, secretary of the National Committee. The presentation of the temporary officers was as follows: tem- porary chairman. Jack Schultz ; temporary secretary, George Gallo; ex- ecutive secretary, Lorraine Heiberg ; first reading clerk, John Dunne; chief tally clerk, Elverna Stauffer; parliamentarian, Kimball Moore: sergeant-at-arms, Cadet Major Charl es Fishbeck : first doorkeeper. Cap- tain Morgan Mayer. These were declared elected as the chair heard no objections. The temporary chairman and secretary were escorted to the platform by Barbara Wight, Mary Hastings, Harry Cornell, and Harry French. Report of the credentials committee was read bv Raymond Bittick, chairman. Chairman Mary Gilbert of the committee on permanent organ- ization recommended the election of John Thomassin as permanent chair- man and the election of the other temporary officers as permanents. The report was adopted, and the permanent chairman was escorted to the platform by Jessie Barasch, Eva Lorona, Sophie Zaferis, Marvin La- Fond, and Jack Manahan.

This famous Admiral was born in 1758, at Burnham Thorp, in Nor- folk. At the age of twelve he joined the navy as a midshipman and in 1773 accompanied Commodore Phipps in an expedition towards the North Pole. In 1777 he was made a lieutenant and two years later a captain. As a cap- tain he served in the admiralty, and convicted the mutineers on the Bounty. He distinguished himself in Eort Juan on the Gulf of Mexico, and remained there until the conclusion of peace. On the commencement of the war with the French Republic he was made commander of the Agmemron, with which he joined Lord Hood in the Mediterranean and assisted at the siege of Boston. At the siege of the Calvi on July 10, 1794, he lost an eye. and in the attack of Santa Cr uz, in the Island of Teneriffe, he lost his right arm. For his gallantry at Cape St. Vincent he was made rear-admiral, and appointed to the command of the inner squadron at Cadiz. Nelson followed Donopart to Egypt and then to Abukir where he destroyed the French Fleet. This achievement was rewarded with the title of Baron Nelson of the Nile. On his return from the Copenhagen expedition he was made a vis- count, and put in command of the British fleet in the Mediterranean ; but the French escaped from Toulon, and on the 21st of October he met the French off Cape Trafalar, when he conquered them, but was mortally wounded. The British did not forget the greatest commander in the history of the world. Viscount Horatio Nelson, or his flagship, Victorv.

I I 176 T HE A R T I S A N S ' 3 6 PREPAREDNESS IN ATHLETICS By Darrington Weaver, Jr. The- fundamental reason for the establishment of the different forms of athletics in high schools has been to create a closer union among the students of the various educational institutions. Management of athletics has progressed over a period of from thirty lo forty years. In its advancement it has outgrown the idea of being merely a diversion and has acquired more realistic meaning — that oi having a more or less direct effect upon the life beyond books and grades. Could all the advantages of athletics be segregated into three groups, there would he little difference of opinion as to the three: being a good loser, cooperation, and good sportsmanship. To the possessor ol such qualities would go life ' s best gift. Heine, a good loser means the willing acceptance of defeat in one of more of the many hard races for success in life. It means the stolid de- termination to fight hack — as well known adages down hut not out and if at first you don ' t succeed, try try again convey. The participation in a sport teaches the athlete the need for cooper- ation. In a football game if one player fails to cooperate with his team- mates, he may wreck their progressive hopes and even cause the loss ol the game. The athlete of today will appreciate five or ten years from now, the fact that his success in) business was partially due to the knowl- edge of cooperation he gained while engaging in high school athletic activities. There is an art in being a good sport. Perhaps not in the same classification as that of an artist or musician, hut still an art in its own . ' lass. It requires great effort on the part of an athlete to assume sub- ordinate position in order that some less fortunate boy may profit by his absence. Most people in the world are fickle and greedy and the change from the plain glutton type of character to that type which re- serves some consideration lor his fellow man, would readily Ik- welcome. c 178 T 1 1 E A R T ISAM S ' 3 6 James .1.

They suffered only nvft def eats ; Erom Hollywood 22 to 20, and Huntington Park, 43 to 23. 1 rrafernractice meets with Fremont, Glendale, and Loyola gave the casaba tossers a Elying start on the rest of the league teams. In the Fremont meet Romero took high honors with 15 points; while in the liendale fracas Ringwood starred with K) digits for the locals. The feature game of the season was against Polytechnic. Through- out the meet the score did not vary mure than one point either way, until late in the last quarter Romero, stellar center, broke the deadlock with a ATHLETICS 181 thrilling one hand shot from the sidelines and garnered the game for Manual. The final score of the game was 28 to 26. Other games played were Washington. San Pedro, and fefferson. Among those who deserve credit for their work are Roberts, guard; Lasher, center; Captain Bartelt, guard; Koenigshofer, forward; Ring- wood, forward; Gonzales, guard; and Romero, center. Loach Williams, who supervised the team, is to be congratulated for the steady, if not constant winning progress of the squad.

Inglewood 26 to 10, and Belmont 40 to 10. Captain Dan Bruno — Played right forward and was outstanding of- fensively. Bruno was high point man for the midgets and played 87 min- utes out of a possible 96. Carl Madick — played left forward. Madick was better offensively then defensivly. lie was noted for his right or left band book shots. David Hoshimiya — Substituted for either Madick or Bruno, lie was awarded his numeral although he did not quite have the minutes needed. Hoshimiya filled Bruno ' s position in the Poly fracas. Frank Taniguchi — Played at the center position during the complete season. Taniguchi earned his numeral because of his nerve. He played 91 minutes out of tin- posible 96.

Shaw was forced to wear a guard to protect his glasses hut this did not effect his fine playing in any way.

Sears was all city center and high point scorer in the city, lie was outstanding both defensively and offensively. Frank Baker played guard the ma- jority of the time, hut later in the season shifted to the forward position. Baker, nick-named Dead Eye, was noted for his long arching shots which would go in without touching the rim of the basket. Chet Maeda played guard and obtained the honor of southern league guard al- though he hurt his foot in the Hollywood game and was forced out of several games. At the first of the season he played several contests with a broken finger. ATHLETICS 183 Phil Gibbs played at the forward po- sition. IK- was an outstanding defensive player. Phil scored two points in the last second of play in the Jefferson game to knot the score and send the Artisans into the overtime period and to victory. Jack Livingston. Livingston played center behind Sears and thus did not have many minutes to his credit at the close of the season. Thurston Davis made ail-city forward and has two more years of competition left. Davis played his outstanding of- fensive game against Hollywood when he scored 21 points. Johnny Murray is about ' i feet 4 inches tall and played guard. Johnny was noted because he could palm a basketball. I ' tiul Dimitri played his best game in the Jefferson fracas.

Ranked only l v Kenny for tennis ability, Ed plays the fastest game in the Southern League. The school depended upon Ed and Kenny to win half the points necessary to climax the matches. Ronnie Kline. Winning his first varsity tennis letter. Ronnie was a shark on the sec ind doubles pair. The school benefitted by Ronnie ' s stylish and winning strokes. He was one of the high ranking players in the school. Kenny Bartelt, the number one man and captain on the Toiler varsity, was the one around whom the structure of the S ' 36 team was built. Though always play- ing first doubles with Ed Alexander, Kenny is one of the best sing ' .es players in the city. Carl Maddick, though not playing in every match, did his share in the mak- up of this year ' s team. Carl has two years of active team competition yet to come. Tom Katsines always had a cheerful word and a swift stroke for his opponent. His game was one of an imposing char- acter and consistencv. ATHLETICS 1S7 Babe Dc Julio played in the singles position throughout the season. His game was of the steady type. Though lacking in brilliance, he fought hard and gave his opponents a good run. Henry Zertuche, playing his first matches in his sophomore year at Manual, improved to the extent that he was placed in first and second singles throughout the league matches. His game was of the steady type but with a touch of brilliancy lacking in most racquetteers. Art Mikol making his first letter at Manual, and his third in varsity tennis, added another winning factor to the squad. His play was rather steady with flashes of color. The first singles spot was filled mostly In ' him. Ewell Rabbins carried a heavy sched- ule. Participating in both pole vaulting and tennis. Playing singles only. Robbins was noted for his shy manner and his steadiness of play. George Shuler (manager). Diplomat of the Manual tennis squad.

This term the aim has been accomplished under the able leadership of Jim Doyle, acting president; Bob Kemp, first vice-president; Laurence Calhoun, sec- retary ; and Bob Johnson, sergeant-at-arms. Every athletic squad must have a manager to take care of even the smallest details. The track teams have been well managed this year under Jim Doyle, Irving Freiden. and Laurence Calhoun, as varsity, bee. and cee managers respectively.

At the beginning of the season Rue Tyler was elected captain the si|uad. From then on they went through an undefeated dual sea- and are in all probability Southern League and City Champions, iring the season several class bee records were broken. John Loyd new low hurdle mark of 13.5 seconds, James Moultrie cut one-fcrlftgft a second off the did record when he ran the 100 in 10. 1 seconds, and RS+ph Lisowitz toured the 1320 in 3 minutes 25.5 seconds. The lightweights gained revenge when they downed the J efferson bees 51 1-3 to 42 2-5. This was the hardest dual meet they had. They de- feated their remaining opponents by overwhelming scores. Included in the list were Washington, Huntington Park, Poly, San Pedro, and Fremont. ATHLETICS 195 Many outstanding performers made themselves prominent in track and field events. Moultrie, Cerro, Hastings, Smith. Yamane, and Sorenson were the men who ran the sprints and relay for the Toilers. Alcock, who ran the 660 close to 1 minute 27 seconds, and ( apt. Tyler in that event phis Lisowitz, Scapa, and Yeakel in the 1320 comprised a very strong group of distance runners. Bob Hunt, who ran the high and low hurdles m 9.6 se conds and 13. S seconds respectively, was an excellent man in the harrier races and could usually he counted on for 10 points each meet. The field event men were McComas and Mills in tin- broad lump; Dupas, Thedfo rd, and Brookins in the high jump; Matsuura in the shot put ; and a sterling group of pole vaulters led by Randall and Robbins. Coach Blewett deserves a sincere vote of thanks upon his amazing success in producing such a fine group of athletes. Also congratulations to rrving Freiden, who had the thankless job of manager. He did verj effi- cient work and was an asset to the team.

( )n April 18, at the City Relay Carnival held at Los Angeles High School, the title was unofficially annexed by Manual by a score of 32 ' digits. The Toiler octette won the division eight man one mile relay in 3 minutes 2 and one-tenth seconds. The following week. Manual officially opened the season by travel- ing to fefferson. The Democrats having been rated the strongest team of the season, lived up to their standard by trouncing the Toilers 70 1-3 to 33 2-3. Thus, the Toilers received their first and only setback of the current season. Not discouraged, however, the short pantied athletes took on Wash- ington the following week and emerged victorious hy 7h l z to 27 1 ; score in their favor. Farley was the only double winner of the day, winning the 100 and ' {he 220. Le Barts of the Generals set the best mark of the season when he won the mile in 4 minutes and 37 seconds. Renewing an interrupted feud the Toilers met Hollywood, their traditional rival. The Sheiks were supposed to press Manual, but, as the score of 83 to 21 in Manual ' s favor would indicate, this was not done. As the feature of the meet Farley came from behind in the 100 yard dash to nose out Williams of the Red Shirts and Weaver of Manual, in the school record breaking time of 9.9 seconds. Loyd, a former Bee member, ran the low barriers in the exceptional time of 13.4 seconds; while Captain Root ran the mile in 4 minutes and 41 seconds. Martin vaulted 12 feet f inches. As guests of Huntington Park, the Artisans culminated their sta by handing the Spartans a 79 2-3 to 24 1-3 defeat. Harrison leaped 6 feet y 2 inch in the high jump. Poly came next and also was a victim of the Toilers ' steady on- slaught ol the southern league teams and came out on the short end of a 72 to 32 score. Pickens starred on the relay by saving the Toiler octette from what appeared to lie a certain defeat. The last two meets of the season, San Pedro and Fremont, were easily taken by the Toilers 92 to 12, and 75 1 ■ to 2X l 2 scores respectively. In the former meet Lane, small Toiler half miler, negotiated the distance in the extraordinary time of 1 minute 5 ' ' .4 seconds. Among those who contributed to the team ' s success are: Swanson, Doyle, Crowe, Pickens, Thomas, Thomassin, Wendell, Gaithers, Brown, and Fueger.

Jordan 204 THE ARTISAN S ' 36 RADIO ' S MASTERMIND— THE PRODUCTION MANAGER li-i William Linton A production manager is an especially trained person who must be able to function intelligently in situations whose complex elements would defy the combined abilities of a Solomon, and octopus, and a well trained acrobat. The actual presentation of a radio program is in the hands of the production manager. The success or failure of the program is in his hands. He is responsible for all of the details of the show while it is on the air and upon these details rests the reaction of the audience to the entertain- ment. The production manager assigned to a musical show must combine the following elements into a finished program: Musicians (vocal and instru- mental), a musical director, a list of selected musicians, a prepared con- tinuity, and an announcer to read this continuity. He must also balance the orchestra to its best advantage, which requires a well trained musical ear, time every part of the program, and run the show to fill the allotted time within ten seconds. The orchestra may consist of three to fifty-three in- struments. The program may demand prominence of certain instruments or of certain choirs of instruments at various times. The vocalist may be scheduled to sing accompanied by the orchestra, a portion of the orches- tra, or piano. In each case a different balance will be required, to blend voices with instruments or to blend voices alone. The vocalists may range in number from one soloist to a large mixed choir — another factor requir- ing a well-trained musical ear, a good knowledge of acoustics, and the microphone. Every musical number and announcement must be timed. When the rehearsal of the entire program is finished the production manager must know how many minutes and seconds his pro;; rani will run. Then he must be able to lengthen or shorten the program, sometimes adding a whole musical number. The program must also be arranged so that the call letters ol the station can be announced approximately every fifteen minutes. Imagine the preparation a production manager must go through to make his radio program a success. Each person in order to acquire such success, must also prepare. Jl .

A belated automobilist, whose car got locomotor attacksia miles from home at 2 p.m., knocked at the door of the only house on sight. Who ' s there? asked the voice from an upper window. Traveler, was the reply. Then travel, and the window closed with a bang. What ' s the matter with that friend of yours. Castro? He acts like a crazy man. He ' s all right, only you see. he is from Central America and every- time he hears a motorcycle, he thinks a revolution has started. l u T H E A KTISAN S ' 3 6 A Disquisition of Gratitude By the Editor A wrinkle of deep satisfaction has impressed itself upon the brow of your editor. This is not written with misgivings, or in a sad mode, for I would revel over the prospects of starting now and doing it all over again. For the mistakes that have been made, in a place or two throughout this hook, sincerely apologize. Since every item in the hook went through my hands I feel duly responsible for all the placing and make-up. Though the book indirectly represents the work of 3000 students, there are a few whose support and help merit their introduction to you, the reader. With the more than willing assistance of Bob Hills. K. O. T. C. gentleman par excellence (see page 138), on the pasting of senior pictures, your editor (and Boh) learned to appreciate radio programs rendered about two ( clock in the morning. Bob also helped me over other rough spots. A note of appreciation might even be given to younger brother Leonard who willingly (not, however, gladly) allowed Artisan work and material to gather in his hair. There are many reasons why editing was a pleasure. )ne of these was the pleasant company of staff members. Speaking of a well known member, Virginia Merrill, said often to be second-in-command for various evident reasons. In spite of an operation and absences from school the features were handled that they might satisfy any editor. Virginia has a vear of school left. Artistically the book is a success because of the efforts of versatile La Verne Johnson. Never failing her deadlines, and always condescend- ing. Especially about new and different changes in scheme and design. Admirable handling the Storv and Verse section, that the reader might H U M O R 217 enjoy the best literature obtainable, Gail Martin has met with success. In spite of her other heavy duties about the campus. (Jail also did a con- siderable amount of excellent artistic work. The young chap who kept the Artisan in the daily limelight was Bob Jackson. Even taller than 1. Boh is a natural. No work seemed too much for Ruth to handle and type. As secretary, she did more than her share of work. In one way Betty Wilcox demonstrates her ability as a historian by the fact that her write-up is almost a page longer than the usual class history. The most banged about section in the entire book is the Humor. That. Bill Linton found out much to his sorrow. He had to change his ideas so many times, it was almost a strain. Someday, lie claims, he will publish a book of his own. Bill is quite sure the entire book will be a joke. Hence, a joke book. Many of my woes were unburdened upon (and increased by) Dale Carlson and Mel Askey — unofficial stooges of the editor. Irving Weisenberg is the swell young chap who designed a few plates among the pages of this book. Future .Artisans will receive bis excellent artistry. (He has a year left). A great deal of the newness of the book (in design) is due to the hard-working efforts of Johnny Halm. Many times it was a battle to get our ideas over, but Johnny made us stick to it. Because of the great number of pictures to be taken of clubs (and the like). Clinton Jordan and I were nearly driven to distraction. He, in trying to meet my deadlines ; and I, in trying to meet those of Mr. ( ireenup. Though my relations with Clinton were hectic, they were as pleasant as one could imagine. Stan Bentley had a riot of a time trying to write-up sports and games that were still (at the time) current. However, the book is published and to the satisfaction of everyone (may we hope). Rose Tomita also had a nice time writing events that hadn ' t occured. But the results are admir- able. The only member who sees almost as many people as does the editor is the manager. Bert Vance wore out (so he says) about five or six street car passes on business. I once heard someone say it was a miracle the book is ever published. ( In view of the work necessary). However, it is no miracle; Mr. (Ireenup is the answer. Under the kind and friendly guidance the book is possible. Mr. Nelson has the (sometimes unfortunate) position of carrying out the plans of the editor. A swell pal who deserves loads of thanks and grati- tude. Mr. Hansen as adviser gives the editor the beginning push neces- sary to plan and work out the entire book. 218 T H E A R T I S A X S ' 3 6 Before I acquired the editorship I knew very little about presses. Now, if there is anything 1 don ' t know (that is necessary to print an Artisan), it isn ' t Floyd Younkin ' s fault. It was a distinct pleasure work- ing with an expert who could be so friendly and cheerful. Floyd is the pressman who does all the printing on the hook (what a job). Under the direction of Miss Jones and Mr. Schwankovsky we have the best art department in the city. Is it any wonder the artistry in the hook is of such excellence? Earl Markham did an excellent job of much of the make-up. He has two years at Manual before him. Art Joquel, an expert in the make-up of Daily supplements, did the hook a favor by the work on the miniature Daily in our Feature section. Mr. Reeder graciously undertakes a mammoth job. That id ' binding the entire lot of hooks. Mr. Reeder, by his pleasantness, causes the editor to he at his ease and adds to the enjoyment of publishing the hook. I thank you, one and all. for the assistance rendered in the compiling of a memory hook for three thousand students.
