It is the symbol of useful ideas and preparation. The ancients believed the sign to belong to the feet of the great mythical body in which their destiny lay. Thus, it is fitting that it be chosen to illustrate the interest taken in our own school organizations. The storv of their beginning lies within the history of Manual ' s early vears. It was with the greatest care and thought that they were founded; long were the debates and discussions on constitutions and aims. These groups hare been functioning for main years though difficult and stren- uous times and always have they met their crises with the fortitude of their ideals and understanding. Organizations are indeed the base of cooperation; their efforts touch every student and their results are the reputation of the school in which _thev are found. The Cardinal ones ' of Manual have long been noted for courtesv, and helpfulne-ss. y 4. y L OtS x6Aiu ixtm % Mr THE ARTISAN W 38 To The Cardinals: We thought that the period of your graduation was to fall in happy days but here we are in a period of disappointment. At the date this is written. Southern California is suffering from the longest dry spell on record. We arc sure, however, that by the time your Artisan appears, the dry spell will have been broken. At the time of this writing the nation is in a period of recession. We won ' t admit that it is a new depression. Again wc have hopes that the period of your graduation will be coincident with a demand for all available forces to engage in the constructive work of the nation. The period of your graduation also falls in a period of wars and rumors of wars. It appears that humanity will never learn that the destruc- tive forces of war are to be shunned in favor of the constructive forces of peace. But it is only a small part of humanity that has not learned to prefer peace to war. Again, the period of your graduation coincides with the temporary retrogression of democracy. But we are mindful of the fact that the na- tions that are submitting to autocracy are not as yet ready for the exer- cise of the privileges of democracy. We have faith in the ultimate triumph of democracy for it has the great merit of benefitting all those who par- ticipate in its functions. Autocracy, on the other hand, casts a pall over both the autocrat and his subjects. In this struggle for the right solution of the problems that concern you and your fellow citizens, you will need to exercise all the virtues which arc indicated by your chosen name, the Cardinals. The Cardinal principles of life, hope, faith, charity, perseverance, integrity, and industry will arm you for the coming days. Albert E. Wilson. Dr. Albert E. Wilson, Principal i6 THE ARTISAN W 38 Mr. Bruce Kirkpatrick, Boys ' Vice Principal As a boys ' vice principal, Mr. Kirkpatrick has more than proved his ability to advise Manual ' s students in any matter troubling them. I lis unwavering interest in athletic events has won the friendship of the school and his regard for scholastic achievements has greatly aided many stu- dents. To him goes Manual ' s sincere lovalty, respect and confidence. ORGANIZATIONS [essie Ray Ilanna, Girls ' Vice Principal Miss Hanna has earned the confidence and appreciation of every- one at Manual Arts because of her cooperation with the student body and faculty. She is a sympathetic and understanding listener when one has a problem to take to her. and endeavors to work out with each indi- vidual a plan best suited for his growth. x8 T H E A R T I S A N W ' 38 STUDENT BODY PRESIDENTS MESSAGE To the Students of Manual Arts: The time has come when we must leave Manual. For three years this campus and our fellow students have comprised our world. A world that has given us such vast opportunities; a world of which we have all been proud. We have had every reason to be proud of our school, for athletically, socially,, and scholasfically. Manual has ranked second to none among the schools of our city. Those who have gone before us have left us a rich heritage. Guided and inspired bv tradition, vet always looking forward, is the spirit of progress which has been exemplified here at Manual. As we leave these halls to go out into a larger world, may we remem- ber and profit bv what we have learned here. May we set our ambitions and ideals high, making each day a step upward. If we desire success, there is onlv one way to get it— we must win it by our own industry and persistence Remember, It can be done. Robert R.

Adviser THE ARTISAN W 38 MANUAL KNIGHTS It is the ambition of every boy entering Manual to one day become a a member of the exclusive service organization of Manual Arts Knights. Always available for service and ready to aid in any emergency, they have become one of the outstanding organizations of the school. This term the Knights have functioned under the leadership of Roy Billings. The other cabinet officers arc Al Anderson, vice-president; Bob Christensen, secretary; and Findlay Russell, treasurer. Membership in this this organization is determined on a point system by which the persons who have entered many activities and are prominent in the senior classes, are chosen. The membership this term yvas limited to seventeen. Only tyvo are honorary members, the student body president, and the senior ave pres- ident, y vho this term were Knights before they held offices. ORGANIZATIONS 3 1 DIACONIAN SOCIETY The Manual Diaconian Society is an honorary organization of girls who, because of their leadership in various organizations, have thereby become eligible to the society. The Diaconians have been organized for two years under the name of Manual Girls ' Service Organization, but this semester the name Dia- conian, the Greek word for service, was formally adopted. Under this name they carrv forward their purpose of maintaining a high standard of school spirit and of supporting the various school activities. This society enjovs the distinction of being the only group sponsored directly by the Girls ' Vice-Principal. The cabinet for the W ' 38 term is; Lois Niemoeller, president; Jeanne Langlois, vice-president; and Vera Ackerman, secretary -treasurer. The girls have adopted as their emblem, a lady ' s profile in Greek cl assical stvle, encircled by an olive wreath. This insignia is worn on their grev long-sleeved slip-over sweaters.

V- THE ARTISAN W ' 38 SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY Under the efficient leaders hip of Mary Baber and with the advice of Miss Sprcnger, the Mimerian Society lias just completed a most successful term. With an enrollment of 235 members the ideal of Scholarship for Service was continued. June Hastings acted as chair- man of the committee and her duties were to aid students who might need assistance in their school work. The highest scholastic honor a high school student can receive is to be a Gold Seal Graduate and a life member of the California Scholar- ship Federation. This honor is attained bv being a member of the Scholarship Societv four terms, including one semester of each vear. This term. Gold Seal Graduates were presented with their pins during Scholarship week, which was observed from November 29 to December 5. During this week a supplement to the Dailv was published under the editorship of Lucille Woollev. The first social function of the season was given bv the Scholar- ship Society, a sport dance held on Fridav evening, November 5, which was called the Harvest Hop. Everything went fine and dandy to the very last mmutc and as the strains of Bill Roy ' s music faded away, the dancers bade adieu to Hostess Mary Baber, and the cabinet was assured that their efforts were rewarded. The cabinet for this term was: president, Man- Baber; girls ' vice- president, Joan Klitsche; boys ' vice-president, Jim Pitts; secretary, Josephine Lee; treasurer. Bob Mack. ORGANIZATIONS J0 - - CHARACTER-CITIZENSHIP BOARD The Character-Citizenship Board seeks a record of each student who is cited bv some teacher because of outstanding character traits displayed during three vears at Manual. It is distinctly positive in action, encourag- ing the best in students by giving citations to the worthy. A student must receive a citation before he or she is considered in his Senior Ave vear. The board takes the list of Senior Ayes and after careful consideration is given, the most outstanding students receive a certificate with their diploma. To be cited, those graduating must be outstanding in at least five of the following qualities: cooperation, responsibility, sportsmanship, self-reliance, self-government, industry, leadership, initiative, honesty, courtesy, service. The members of the board are cho.cn for their ability to determine the students who are outstanding in character. They arc well known on the campus and have contact with a great number of students. They in- clude the estudent body president, the girls ' and boys ' vice presidents ' , and the student body secretary. The board for the past semester consisted of Bob Christensen, chairman, Juanita Scott, secretary, Phyllis Stimpson, Phil Cook, Betty Schwankovskv. Tom Ham, and (Catherine Webb. 34 THE ARTISAN V ' 38 The bovs ' and girls ' boards are under the MERIT BOARD sponsorship of Mr. Kirk- patriek and Miss Hanna. They meet separately, each board hearing the eases of the students, and offering solutions or remedies for their troubles. Improving the merit record of Manual students is the aim of Bob Chris- tensen, chairman of the boys ' board; Hubert Smith, vice chairman; and Tom Ham. The girls ' board is composed of Phyllis Stimpson, chairman; Jeanne Sutera, vice chairman; Alaska Sommcr, Lois Anderson, Pat Bartlett and Helen Jones. ATTENDANCE BOARD The boys ' and girls ' tardy boards comprise an independent branch of the Manual Arts Self-Governmcnt. The members of the girls ' tardy board are Gerrv Morales, president; Louise Lantin, vice-president; Eleanor McElhenv, secretary; Pearl Visa.

These debaters, having debated some last spring, have had a little more experience than the incoming members. Due to the limited number of debaters this year, the active ones have found themselves continually debating in order to fill the requests from the other schools. Those schools with which Manual has debated more frequently are Huntington Park, Cathedral, and Los Angeles High School. A successful term was enjoyed by all due to the capable leadership of Captain Todd. The Inter-scholastic debate question for the first round of the South- ern California Debate League was. Resolved: That the State of California Should Adopt a Unicameral Svstem of Legislation. The opponents for first round of debate were Vivian Clark and Mary Green from Hollywood High School, who debated the negative of the proposition. The affirma- tive was upheld by two very capable Manual Arts debaters, John Todd and Earl Frieden. The feminine debaters, who are exceptionally fine, won the votes of the three judges. Other debates which have taken part this semester were handled very capably by debaters Marvin Meyers, Alver Hedbcrg, Frances Derkum, Robert Horowitz, Milton Geldberg, Shirlev Hornc and Wilma Harmon. T II E A RTISAN Y ' 38 SENIOR FORUM Again the Senior Forum lias had a successful term; this semester under the leadership of Hugh MacRae. The purpose of this club is to further interest, not only in public- speaking, but in national and world wide problems, which are frequently discussed. One meeting was devoted to a league debate between Hollywood and Manual, on the topic; Resolved: That the state of California adopt the unicameral system of legislature. The visitors showed their ability by win- ning the negative side. Highlights of the term were the debate with the Junior Forum; try- outs for the Evening Herald Extemporaneous Contest, and the Decla- mation Contest. At the close of the term, the traditional banquet was held, at which the winner of the Declamation Contest received a trophv and the cabinet turned over their duties to the next term officers. Those assisting Hugh were: Joan Klitschc, girls ' vice; Bob Horowitz, boys ' vice; Grace Niven, secretary, and Charles Epstein, treasurer. Mr. C. E. Moore sponsored the group. ORGANIZATIONS 39 ry pi BOX OFFICE CREW Each term it is the duty of the Box Office Crew to take tickets at all the athletic events and at main (if the school dances. The crew is made up of volunteers, mostly seniors, who are interested in helping. At the football and basketball games the boys alternate at taking tickets so that all may have a chance to see part of the game. The mem- bers of the crew this term were: Manager, jack Beer; Shozo Saito, Jack Heglin, Kovo Endo, Ed Termath, Augustus Braun, Masaji Morita, William Brothers, Bill Brough, Othmer Alefantes, and Bill Holm. FIRE DEPARTMENT To be ready in all emergencies, namely earthquakes and fires, is the aim of the Manual Arts Fire Department, headed by Mr. Fisher. The officers are Claude Smith as fire chief; Jack Hurst, captain; Ray Neal, first lieutenant; and Wally Taft, second lieutenant. Up to the present time this Department has aided in the many fire drills and the buildings have been cleared in a minute and some seconds. No one knows what may come up in this Sunny California, so the Fire Department tries to be ready for any emergency. 4° THE ARTISAN W ' 38 WORLD FRIENDSHIP CLUB The Manual Arts World Friendship Club is one of the mo. ' .t active clubs at Manual because of its work locally, and its association with the City Federation and the State Federation. The local club at Manual holds bi-weekly meetings at which group discussion takes place or out- side speakers talk on some timely subject. The real purpose of the club is to further the friendly relations be- tween all nations by the international cooperation of youth. The situa- tions that confront the world today are constantly being discussed by the members of the club. Besides having an educational aim. the club offers a good deal of social activity. Last spring, a State Convention was held at San Pedro High School where representatives from all parts of Southern California were guests of the San Pedro World Friendship Club for the day. The program included a business meeting, lively discussion groups, a trip around the harbor, and a dinner and dance in the evening. The next State Convention is to be held at Beverly Hills High School in the spring of this year. The Citv Federation also holds an annual affair each spring when the City Oratorical Contest is held, to which each school sends a delegate speaker. There is constant contact between the local clubs in each district. This semester Manual Arts has been the guests of both Bell and Hunting- ton Park High Schools at a dinner and informal tea. The local club also had a very enjoyable evening in Chinatown at which time the group was honored to have Mr. Sill, a Chinese student from the University of Southern California, speak on the Sino-Japancse situation. ORGANIZATIONS ' SSmMiMHB 4 1 JUNIOR FORUM Following their traditional program of debating, open forum dis- cussions and extemporaneous speaking, term ' s end found the Junior Forum completing one of its most active calendars in the club ' s history. Some major highlights of the term were the get acquainted social at the beginning of the term and the party closing it at which the in- stallation of the incoming officers was held. Probably the most prominent of the club ' s activities was the semi- annual Junior-Senior Forum debate, in which each club sends two of their most efficient orators to represent them. The question for this year ' s battle was Resolved: that the state of California should adopt a system of unicameral legislature. The Junior Forum had as its representatives this term President Bob Pettv and George Petrovich. The younger or- ganization fell before the senior club in a heatedly contested debate. The officers for this year were: Bob Pettv, president; Frank Jacobs, boys ' vice prexv; Phyllis Chambers, girls ' vice president; Marion Smith, secretary; Mary Sanford, treasurer. Miss Anne Johnson, sponsor, once more piloted the Junior Forum through a very successful term.

The purpose of the club is to unite its members in a spirit of friendliness, lead- ership and service. The Tri-Y is the high school organization of Girl Reserves, and is in close contact with the Y. W. C. A. The Y has been the scene of sever- al enjoyable afternoons, vith splash parties and later, dinner served in the big dining room. This term, the club consists of seventy-three active members, all worthy of praise for their cooperation. The club closes a successful term under the leadership of Sara Bag- gott, president; Charlene Flagg, vice-president; lone Axford, secretary; and Lois Cornell, treasurer. To Miss Swerdferger, faculty adviser, and to the out-going seniors much praise is due for their fine cooperation and initiative. 44 THEARTISANW ' 3 8 SENIORS The Sign of Aries- the Ram By Gloria Parker In all the Zodiac there is no sign more appropriate for seniors than Aries, which symbolizes all the fine characteristics of the mind and think- ing. Aries stands for ambition, leadership, and also one of the seven Cardinal virtues, courage. The Ram is first of the four Cardinal signs and corresponds with the spring of the year, which is first of the four Cardinal seasons. It is easy to see that this is symbolic of the beginning: the beginning of an independent life for the graduates; the beginning of new associations and new foundations upon which to build their future lives. The rising sun is connected with Aries because it also is associated with the beginning of a new day. Does not all this conjure up a picture in the mind? A picture of ambitious and independent graduates, marching forth to their new life with the sun rising behind them, rising to its peak and then gradually settling down to a golden sunset. 4 6 THE ARTISAN W ' 38 SENIOR PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE Cardinals: Upon our graduation. vc will be but a small percent of many gradu- ating classes in the United States. Some of us will attend some type of fin- ishing school while others will acquire the rest of our education by facing the world immediately. No matter what we attempt, we must not lose courage and determin- ation. We must face everything and anything with our heads up and with the splendid spirit of Ole King Cardinal. Let us forge ahead and accomplish great things. Let the Cardinal Class reign supreme!

Stand up and cheer The Alma Mater which we ' ll always hold so dear. Fight on to victory! The Cardinal and White are we. Cardinals! We ' ll be a loyal class in all we do. Cardinals! to Manual Arts we ' ll e ' er be true. Forward we ' ll go To reach to heights of all will ever be our aim Hail to the Cardinals! To Manual Arts we ' ll e ' er bring fame. CARDINAL COLORS Cardinal and White 88 THE ARTISAN W 38 CLASS HISTORY W ' 38 Drenched with rain, and bewildered by the halls, board-walks and bungalows, while chasing around trying to get programs signed, we Bio ' s thus greeted Manual Arts, February 3, 1935. Bright days followed which made us love Manual. The A10 and B11 terms found us deeply interested in activities at Manual, and many of our classmates had already begun to show leader- ship. As An ' s we future Cardinals were more united and interested in ideals and aims of higher education as was evidenced in our achievements in the English and civics examinations. At the end of the term we elected our class officers, and the advisers were chosen. Bob Christen- sen was elected president, Dick Smith and Jeanne Langlois, the boys ' and girls ' vice presidents respectively, Vera Ackerman. secretary, Findlay Russell treasurer, and the yell leaders, Tom Ham and Bob Bennet. The advisers were Mr. Tumquist, Miss Smith, Miss Laura Davis, and Mrs. Madsen. Among our outstanding and vivid memories are the inspiring ad- dress by Alonzo Stagg to the boys, and the breaking of the ground for the new buildings. Our Senior Bee term opened with plans for Adelphic day. We chose the colors, Cardinal and White. The class song, composed by Grace Niven and Shirlev Prewett, and the yells were ably led by the veil leaders, who aroused much class spirit and enthusiasm. The Senior Ayes defeated us in evervthing except class spirit on Senior Day, which was one of friendlv rivalry. It was climaxed by a hop in the gym, where the Senior Ayes and Senior Bees enjoved themselves as one united class. South Park was the scene of the Senior Bee picnic where Roy Billings won the pie eating contest, and the girls vied against the boys in baseball. Everyone agreed that the refreshments were the best ever. The Senior Bee Prom held in the girls ' gym with Bob Christensen and Jeanne Langlois acting as host and hostess, and the Manual Arts band furnishing swing music was a gala event. Our B12 class supported the track and tennis events, and at the same tune continued our academic studies. The girls moved into their new modern gymnasium, which is very beautiful. At the end of the term we bade a sad farewell to the Senior Ayes and looked forward to returning in their places after a much needed vacation. Those elected for Student Body Cabinet were Bob Christensen, student body president; Phyllis Stimpson and Tom Ham, the vice presidents; Juanita Scott, secretary; Carol McKec and Bruce Jones, heading the self- government, Shirlev Hinze and Bob Horowitz, the two judges, Mary Baber SENIORS 8 9 scholarship president, Shozo Saito. manager; Lucy Lee, Girls ' League pres- ident; Eddie Erwin, A. B. S. president; Harold Keebler, Daily editor; and Bill Penprase, cadet major. Those elected to guide our own class were Roy Billings, prexy; Jeanne Langlois and Bob Lord, the vice presidents; Vera Ackerman, secretary; Eindlay Russell, treasurer; Dorothy Hepburn, Artisan editor; and Bob Bennet, yell leader. At last Adelphic day arrived and the wee Bus became Senior Bees. The two senior classes clashed on the field, but with friendliness and respect for each other. They were again brought together in the gym for the Senior hop. The Senior Picnic was held at Centinela Park where, under Lucy- Lee ' s supervision a grand time was enjoyed by all. The food and entertain- ment made the picnic an unsurpassed success. Along with our studving, we enjoyed the football and basketball sea- son. Those who stood out in athletics were, the one and only John Wvnne, stellar football player, Eddie Irwin, president of A.B.S.; and Dain Lones in track, and all-city Thurston Davis who excelled in basketball. The Scholarship Society was upheld by Jeanne Langlois, Mary Baber, Paul Becker, and Bob Lord. Our final exams and preparations for commencement swiftly brought our three happy years at Manual to a close. There was a feeling of hap- piness tinged with sorrow as we Cardinals sang Kipling ' s Recessional and our beautiful Manual Arts Alma Mater. Facing the rising sun of a new day begun, Let us march on till victorv is won. 9° THE ARTISAN V ' ;S (CARDINAL KIDS We present the Cardinals as thej were, in the days when high school was a distant dream of the future. Oddly enough, they have developed very much as these snapshots indicate. Glance at Bob Chris- tensen, for example— could you doubt that some day this young rider was to rise to the heights of student body president? (That pom looks t reas onous. Bob! remember, you ' re a Cardinal.) Findlav Russell shows his lust for gold even at tins tender age. Ever find the pirate loot, Findlay? Yes, that ' s Juamta Scott looking so calmly at the camera. She must be trying to figure out that latest swing hit. It ' s Hepburn, all right, but not Katherine. just teniperinental Dot in training. She doesn ' t look verj much like an editor, dues she! ' The camera caught (can Breninger going somewhere in a hurry. What ' s the matter. Jean, don ' t you like the birdie? Adelaide Davis must have been worrying over that old nursery rhyme as she frowned for this one— There was an old woman who lived in a shoe—. Keeb must have borrowed one too main jars of jam to get m a corner like that. It ' s Harold Keebler, our esteemed Daily editor. Douglas Moore certainly had an early start; can ' t you hear him ' ' My friends, unaccustomed as I am to public speaking- Starting voung there. Row is that any habit for a class president to start? Oh. pardon please, ' today you are a man, ' eh? Down at the bottom there you have the Leno twins. Sorrv, you ' il have to guess which is which yourself. Phyllis Stimpson, alias Stimpie, was a heart-breaker as long ago as that. Carol McKee seems to be enjoying that Sunday dinner she has there; or is it vice versa? Shirley, von certainly started rehearsing soon enough. It ' s Ilin .c, our girls ' judge, you know. It looks as though Leonard Wheatley wanted to be Big Chief Wahoo ( traitor! ) . Eileen Brown watches the world go bv some umpty-leven years ago. Wonder win Hugh MacRae ever changed the color of his hair- he looks just as well as a blonde, doesn ' t he? Lois Cornell must have been the belle of the town then. Oh, did we say then or now ? The Scholarship Society ' s president is pondering on ways and means again. Mary Baber will think it art, never fear. But it doesn ' t look very much like Gloria (Beverly) Parker, hut she- grew up enough to become the Artisan ' s art editor. Jeanne Langlois has turned out as sweetly as she began, from the looks of things. SENIORS 9 1 h 7 JCS- KUTE KARDINAL KIDDIES CLUBS By Dorothy Hepburn Organized clubs have served to benefit mind and body in many ways. The sign of Cancer is associated with health and this is typical of the pur- pose of clubs for recreation; to offer rest and refreshment for mental or physical fatigue; to restore an element of interest in the life wean ' of every day drudgery. This sign, that of the crab, is also a sign of economy, kindness, loving and sympathetic qualities which are invariably stressed in club work. Most clubs work individually, functioning completely within the group. They also keep in mind that adding to their store of knowledge is their aim. Groups founded for the enjoyment of odd moments are popular in our modern life today. Undoubtedly such activities promote a better family life. The principle of home life improvement is in the realm of the Cancer constellation and comes under its influence. 94 THE ARTISAN W 38 CLUBS AND OFFICERS ACCOUNTANCY CLUB President, Jack Beer; girls ' vice president.

Jack Beer; boys ' vice, president, Marvin Robman; girls ' vice president. Fern Abrami; secretary, Fama Rickman; treasurer. Jim Brennan; sergcant-at-arms. Jack Ileglin. THE JAPANESE CLUB The Japanese Club of Manual Arts has progressed since it was started about two years ago. It is still ranked as a thriving organization of the school. Though it is still young compared to the other clubs, the club itself has made uniform strides as a result of the energetic members showing wholehearted interest and cooperation. The meetings are held during the lunch periods. With aims of this club in their minds which thev try to live up to and try to learn as follows: ( 1 ) To create a better understanding between the Japanese and American students of Manual, (2) To create a friendship among the Japanese students, (3) To be of help to the students by bringing out the finer phases of American and Japanese culture, and (4) To be of service to the school. A variety of programs was carried out, comprising cultural and social events. Some of the activities were discussions of interest to every average student of high chool, invitations to parties, and talks bv prom- inent persons. The adviser. Dr. Bailev, has truly been an inspiration, and the club feels that it is her guidance and assistance that has taken the club through its successful term during the absence of Mrs. Murphy, who is abroad. The cabinet consisted of the following students: Masaji Morita, president; Tokiko Tanaka, vice president; (Catherine Matsumoto, secretary; and Shozo Saito, treasurer. 100 THE ARTISAN r ' 38 STAMP .Mi VIE PRESS AND SPECTAT R ORGANIZATIONS 101 MOVIE CLUB The club has a film library composed of student made films, and some that have been purchased. This library and its contents are avail- able to any faculty member of the school. Members decided on making a film called the Highlights of Manual. This picture features the dances, playdays, senior aye play, football games and many other activities that take the spotlight of the school. All this work has been accomplished by the cabinet with the grand cooperation of the members. The officers for the term were Bill Caliill. president; Clyde Milhousc, vice-president; Alaska Sommers, secretary: and Sam Sebby, publicity manager. With a record breaking membership, a new high in enthusiasm, the Manual Arts Movie Club succeeded in making W ' 38 the finest in all of the clubs three vcars ' cxistcnec. Miss Sprenger, who organized the club, turned over her office as adviser to Miss Koehler. The club has discussed such pictures as Heide, Night Club Scan- dal, Ali Baba Goes to Town, and The Perfect Specimen. Each month a movie was selected and all of the club went to sec the picture, then dis- cussed it at a cafeteria down town. PRESS CLUB Students unable to take journalism, who arc not yet eligible for the subject, are compensated by the fact that they can join the Press Club, an organization for those wishing to obtain knowledge in the workings of a newspaper. The club has done great things this term. They entered a float in the rally day parade, organized a basketball team, voted upon sweaters, held parties, and put out a special section of the Daily. They met every Monday noon, and during activity periods. Press club officers for the W ' 38 term were: Al Ellis, president; Ike Israel, vice president; Bettv Shrock, secretary. This term the Spectator members joined the Press club in the group picture. 102 THE ARTISAN W 38 NATURAL HISTORY CLUB HOME EC. CLUB CHESS CLUB ORGANIZATIONS CHEMISTRY CLUB Have you ever seen air that is so cold that it has become a liquid, and which will make a rubber ball as brittle as glass? Have you seen soap bubbles filled with an explosive mixture of hydrogen and oxygen rise in the air, and when flame is brought near burst with a bright flash and a terrific report? Have you seen a liquid metal heart that will actually beat as long as it remains in a solution of special chemicals? If you haven ' t seen these things and a multitude of others, then you haven ' t been in the Chemistry Club. This club is organized so that these experiments and a large number of others that cannot be done in the ordinary chemistry course, may be done; also to promote a general interest in chemistry. The members are allowed to perform these experiments under the able supervision of the sponsors, Miss Wilson, Miss Cahoon, and Mrs. Ludv with the aid of the officers of the club. CAMERA CLUB This is the fourth semester of the Camera Club ' s existence. The purpose of this club is to have a group of photography-minded students together to discuss problems, gathering new facts of photography. This club takes pictures in and about school to submit at each meet- ing. The best of these pictures are collected and used for the school life section in the Artisan. Also, at each meeting we either have a speaker or a picture of some importance to photography. 104 THE ARTISAN W 38 LATIN CLU GERMAN CLUB SPANISH CLUB KKKXCH (111; ORGANIZATIONS 105 LATIN CLUB With the motto of the club Labor Omnia Vincit working full time, the Contio has once more enjoyed a successful term. Even ' fall the Latinus Tribunus is published, and this term its editor-in-chief was Emmett Wolter, star of the somewhat nutty, Pyramus et Thisbe. An- other highlight of the term was the exhibition by Miss Lloyd of the pic- tures she painted on her trip to Europe. The cabinet for this term was: consul (president to those uninitiated to the mysteries of Latin), Henry Zertuche; praetor (vice president), Thcda Fisher; censor (secretary), Betsy Myers; quaestor (treasurer). Bob Mack; centurio (sergeant-at-arms), Ed Pearson; sponsor. Miss Cronkhitc.

The officers this semester were installed at the first activity period. They are: Rov Menashe, president. Fred Yoder, vice president; Virginia Galev, secretary, and Mary Spenar, treasurer. The past programs have consisted of talks and plays relevant to Span- ish life and literature of the Spanish-speaking countries. Henry Zertuche, the president of the Latin Club, gave during one of the activity periods a very interesting talk about a convent in Mexico. On Friday, December 1-, in room 253 following the close of the sixth period, combined language clubs of Manual Arts held a most in- teresting and enjovable Christmas party. io6 THE ARTISAN W 38 (,K U ' lIK KTS (III: PHYSICS CLUB RADIO CLUB ORGANIZATIONS 10 ' , ARTISAN PHOTO STAFF Six bins in the class in photography handled the Artisan photogra- phic work done at the school, under the direction of Mr. Woods.

THE GRAPHIC ARTS CLUB The Graphic Arts Club was organized by Mr. W. H. Reeder, Man- ual ' s binderv instructor, in September of 1934- When this club was or- ganized there were onlv seven members— boys who had three terms of bookbinding. Along with the growth of the school, the club has also grown until the present enrollment is twenty-four. The purpose of the club is to inform all members as to the art design, material used in binding, and the use and knowledge of machinery in- volved. All of this is accomplished bv trips to printing and binding es- tablishments, representatives of the companies explaining the work. Another way in which the club is introduced to the uses of the different tvpes of machinery and manufacturing of materials, is bv motion pictures which are shown about once a month. This term four pictures were shown and several trips were taken. The officers of the W ' 38 term arc Griffith Barringer, president; Dick Smith, vice president; Don Chavez, secretary; Bob Davis, treasurer; Kenneth Bustecd, sergcant-at-arms. io8 THE ARTISAN W 38 CAMERA SALESMANSHI] SECETARIAL ORGANIZATIONS 109 THE NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS ' CLUB The Non-commissioned Officers ' Club under the sponsorship of Ser- geant Littler and Mr. White, activity sponsor, has completed an ideal semester.

Several parties were held during the term at different members ' homes. During the last week of school a party in honor of the president, Sam Sebby, was held. As an organized body, consisting of the non-commissioned officers of the Manual Arts R.O.T.C., the Non-Corns ' Club renders much service to the unit, promoting their interests, and assisting in their advancement. The cabinet of the W ' 38 term consists of Sam Sebby, president; Bill Fagan, vice president; Thomas Schutz, secretary; Jack Payne, treasurer; Lynn Weber, sergeant-at-arms; and Fred Barrett, chaplain. no THE ARTISAN W 38 STORY AND VERSE By Dorothy Hepburn Scorpio, the scorpion, stands for truth, in the language of the zodiac. One of the fundamental urges in the mind of an author is the repro- duction of the truth in his creative work. Poetry is said to be the con- centrated essence of truth in verse form. The passions, tempers, jealousies, pride found under this sign are experienced in the lives of authors and aptly reproduced in their works. In past ages, legends and myths were handed down from father to son; great care was taken to develop the memories of the story-tellers. Grad- ually, there came to he a respect and love of those who wliilcd away care and trouble by the telling of a fabulous tale. It is interesting to find that persons born under the sign of Scorpio arc believed to be excellent speakers. Scorpio also is associated with the desire to lead and be led. Al- though this appears to be contradictory, it is a well known fact that the ordinary writer hopes to interest and influence readers with his efforts, yet how many times he is completely at the mercy of that jade— Inspira- tion! Talent, also, is capricious in her guidance and may lead her sub- ject to the dreariest despair or the most joyful heights. So, are the creative writings as we know them; strong, passionate in their portrayal of modern truths; eccentrically led by fateful whimsies; powerfully influencing thousands who. in their relaxing moments, allow their idle fancies to be caught and led by the printed won! ttoitiw nzs 112 THE ARTISAN W 38 THE JOB By J. R. Q, Ycsterdav my father saw a man killed. We knew it. He evaded saving that he actually saw it, but we knew. Last night he was not his ' usual self. He went into the front room afterward and sat there a long time. When my mother finally got him to tell us the cause, we knew what he had been seeing, sitting there. Pretty soon he went away in the car. We all must have been asleep when he came in. My father is the supervising timekeeper on the largest government project in this city. There are eleven timekeeper, and fifteen hundred men on this job under his direction. Nine months ago my father started as a laborer. Through his abil- ity and humane understanding of men he advanced to his present posi- tion. Most of the time he was put on particularly troublesome projects— where the men didn ' t get along well with the bosse - ' S. They got along well with my dad. They threatened to strike at the last project when they heard he was going to be transferred. The men would come to him with their witticisms and wisecracks, trials and troubles. Sometimes he would tell us about them. One of the colored men had three children whose mother was in the hospital. The man prepared breakfast for them before he went to work, and thinking they should have something warm, always fried eggs. On one particular morning he had been disturbed and puzzled because the oldest boy, after picking around at half his egg, had declared, Pappy, you don ' t km cook aigs like mummy kin! The poor fellow was sure he could cook aigs fairly well and was ever so relieved when my dad told him that children tire of eggs very rapidly, and that he was not losing his knack at all. I know a little Spanish, and my father asked me to teach him a few words necessary on the job. The first day he tried them he came home bewildered by the flood of language that had answered him. The Mex- icans had been overjoyed when they thought they could converse freely with him. Now he is studying intently. On the shoe repair project the workers on the polishing machines were always eager to shine his shoes. When we needed our car repaired, a former mechanic offered to do it for half what it would cost at a garage. One man invited my dad and mother to his wedding.They would have gone, but it was Saturday, and we had planned a picnic, and I found STORY AND VERSE iv. which is under construction now. A derrick was lifting the wooden retain- ing wall out from beside the set concrete. The scene was one of intense activity. Everyone was watching when the cable snapped and the long steel arm came down to crush the life out of the man horribly. The man had invited my father to his wedding. And my father is a verv sensitive man. A CHRISTMAS LULLABY By Gloria Parker Dear little Child of mine. Now close your wearv eves. Oh, tiny Babe divine, Now hush your tired sighs.

The sun was descending. The night was ascending and Bill was taking in all of nature ' s glories. To be free at last, of those haunting memories, of countless horrible dreams, of sleepless nights. Bill sighed, as he took a lingering drag in his last cigarette. Yes, this would be his last. He had been trying to quit smoking for months, and now he was going to. With a flick, he tossed the cigarette to the ground, careful to grind it out with his heel. Bill mused to himself Yes, I ' ll quit smoking now, as the captain of the rebel firing squad roared: Reach! Aim! Fire! n 4 THE ARTISAN W 38 FATE VERSUS THE COLONEL Bv Maizie Mendenhall Californv. hya ah conies . . . The carefree and off-key voice of the ever-present porter had been torturing Colonel Hopperton for about fifteen minutes now, and he had come to a grave decision. Getting up was the only avenue of escape. Getting up, to Colonel Hopperton, was not an easy matter. It demanded great consideration and exertion. How- ever, the Colonel felt optimistic so with a heavy sigh he threw back the covers of his tiny bunk and lunged out of the compartment. Barelv escaping a collision with a pompous lady in black he stumbled into another compartment, falling headfirst into the empty bunk. Flustered and blustering he arose, shedding bedclothes. Looking about him, he discovered the compartment, which was even more elegant than his own, had been but recentlv inhabited. The bunk was open and a fine tweed suit of huge proportions was laid upon it. The Colonel hurriedlv arose. It would be rather embarrassing if a politicalh prominent gentleman like himself should be found in a stranger ' s compartment. As his hand reached for the doorknob, he per- ceived, in the mirror, that the side door of the compartment was slowly opening. Losing all dignitv he tore at the door, only to find it locked. Ad- vancing from the other door were two men. The singular look in their eyes did not appeal to the Colonel. Dis is de guv. alhight— I seen dat moustache and dat figure before. The thug spoke in a pleasant voice. Come on, Travers, dis is where you sign off. You heard him, Mr. Travers, you ' re gonna pay your last debt today, the other one chuckled gleefully. Get your clothes on and hum- up. But you gentlemen are mistaken; I am not Mr. Travers, I am Col- onel Hopperton. The Colonel drew himself up. Ya can ' t fool us— it ' s funny that there suit is so close your size. Try it on— hurry up, will ya. Punctuating this remark by drawing from his pocket a vicious looking automatic, thug number one grinned gayly, Come on before I plug va one. Colonel Hopperton, having no alternative, slowly began putting on the suit of huge proportions. As Colonel Hopperton was also of huge proportions it fitted him nicelv. Oh no, tain ' t vore suit, you ain ' t Mr. Travers, oh no! With this bit of clever sarcasm the thug gave the Colonel a shove. The other muttered hoarselv a bit of timely advice— Act non-chool- ant or else! STORY AND VERSE 115 Out of the compartment and down the steps of the train thev went arm in arm. This was one wav of cheating the warbling red-cap out of his tip. the Colonel dryly reflected. But where on earth were they? Fog hung low. shrouding buildings and streets. Could it be this was the sun- in California of which he had heard so much? Would vou mind telling me in what state we arc in and where we are going? The cautious question brought no response but a rough guffaw. I insist upon knowing where I am! The Colonel ' s loud procla- mation brought a dirty look, and a poke in the ribs with a hard object which suggested a gun. A roaming cab was halted bv his two companions. It bore the sign: Los Angeles Cab Company. So this was Los Angeles, The Citv of Angels! As they entered the cab. even the Colonel ' s famous mustache showed disapproval. Ah. to be back in Virginia. There no strangers would have accosted him. Everyone knew him there. Looking out the cab window as it passed the other end of the depot he saw a brass band, a man with top hat and tails, and an immense red and white sign reading Welcome Colonel Hoppcrton! The possibility of calling for help flashed through his mind but the thought of that ugly automatic thrust it away. He was resigned to his fate. After what seemed hours the cab drew to a halt by a forbidding grey building. Gloomily he descended and entered, with the aid of his companions. In the fover of the building, which proved to be a rather dilapidated apartment house, squatted an old man. On seeing them he jumped up, a gleam of triumph in his eyes. Welcome, welcome, my friend, you have . . . His voice dwindled off in amazement. But this is not . . . Who is this man? The old man turned angrily on the two thugs. Where did you get him, you fools? Without giving them a chance to explain he stamped angrily away. The astonished thugs exchanged puzzled glances. Maybe dis guv was tellin ' da truth after all, offered one. Well, We gotta get rid of him, now. What ' ll we do with him? The question was a puzzler. What could be done with the old gentleman? He couldn ' t be allowed to escape and inform the police of his troubles. The Colonel interrupte d their thoughts with one of his own. I promise never to tell the police. Besides this is my first visit to your fair city and I have no idea of where I am. The thugs knew honesty when thev heard it. Okay buddy, tell va n6 THE ARTISAN W 38 what we ' ll do. We ' ll take you and dump ya somewhere and let ya find ya way back— okay? The Colonel was delighted. In a jovial mood he left with the two hoodlums for parts unknown. In the taxi, however, his mood ended ab- ruptly as a blackjack was bounced off his head. Peaceful blackness descended upon his dizzv brain. When he awoke he found himself still in the taxi. His companions were missing. The cab drew up to the curb and stopped in front of an inconspicuous building. Here you are. pal. said the driver, opening the door. You drunks get me down. Colonel Hopperton felt himself being hoisted up the apartment steps and stood dumbly by as the cab driver rang the bell, ran down the steps, and drove rapidly away. You ' re wanting a room, I suppose, sir? A plump Irish woman stood in the doorway. Come right in. I have a lovely single apartment for a gentleman, sir. Mutch ' the Colonel followed. His numb brain kept him silent. The room to which he had been led was truly a pleasant room. The landlady chattered about new curtains, new rugs and a new shower. You must see the shower, sir, it ' s the prize possession of this apartment. She led the way into the bathroom, and the Colonel followed docilely. A ray of light pierced the thick fog which enveloped his brain. The silver shower held no interest for this forlorn gentleman. WTiat a calamity it would be if the thugs should return. Terror gripped his heart. It would be murder. he murmured aloud. The woman gave one look at his hogwild visage and screamed for the police. Terror gripped his heart and he sprang nimbly through the door, slamming it behind him. In grabbing his hat which he had cast upon the table he knocked over a gold-painted wooden candlestick. A clinking of metal in his pocket didn ' t even slow his pace for by this time the woman was screaming at the top of her lungs. Let me out; I ' m locked in! Help! Help! That evening relaxing comfortably in the huge armchair in his suite in one of the city ' s most expensive hotels Colonel Hopperton picked up the Evening News. After reading the comic page and the gossip columns, he settled for more serious matters and turned to the feature news. A small item in the corner caught his eye. He read: PROSPECTIVE RENTER ROBS WOMAN AGENT Mrs. Genevieve McDorman, manager of an apartment-house at 2 0 South Catalina street, yesterday was robbed of g cents by a well-dressed, elderly gunman who threatened her life and left her locked in a bath- STORY AND VE RSE n 7 room when he departed. He gained entrance by asking to see an apart ment. What a petty thief, lie thought idly. Suddenly he jumped. Locked in the bathroom— gained admittance by asking to see— why that sounded like him! But no. it couldn ' t be. He hadn ' t threatened her life or stolen ninety-five cents. Or had he? Memories of the cold clanking of metal in his pocket came back to him. What had he said to her? It will be murder. She must have thought— Oh, what a mess! He called the butler. Bring that coat I wore this afternoon, please. The butler looked puzzled: But you said give it to the Salvation Army, sir, and I sent it down— I ' m terribly sorry, sir. Was there any money in the pocket? questioned the Colonel anxiously. Yes sir, ninety-five cents, sir. Here it is. The butler looked at his master quizzically. Ah, thank heavens! That ' s all, James. Colonel Hopperton was exceedingly happy. He would fix everything and clear his record. In the apartment house on Catalina Street on the following day excitement filled the air. Why it ' s just like a fairy story as I was tellin ' my hubby. My original ninety-five cents what I was savin ' in the candle stick— and wrapped in a hundred dollar bill —I can ' t believe it ' s true! Fate is a funny thing, now ain ' t it?

At Third and Hill in downtown Los Angeles, where streetcars clang and trucks roar, is a queer orange framework upholding the words: Angel ' s Flight. Peeking through this arch, you see two quaint little cars which are reminiscent of the old-fashioned horse cars. It all looks so interesting and so verv different that you decide to investigate. As there is no one around, you rather dubiously seat yourself in the car which is at the bottom. As the strange vehicles are built to fit the hill, each scat is on a different level. With a heavy lurch the journey commences. The oily cables look rather inadequate, but even this fails to disquiet you as the sense of peace, which is characteristic of the Hill, steals over you. As you are beginning to think you have tricked fate and are getting something for nothing, you arrive at the top and there vou see a pleasant little orange ticket window where you pay the astonishing amount of three cents, or five cents for a round trip. Wandering up and clown the streets, blessed by a cool breeze, you are surprised at the lack of automobiles. This partly accounts for the quietness which prevails. The streets are lined with huge old-fashioned houses, once the prevailing mode. The delicate odor of growing flowers and fresh-eut grass fills the air. What a charming place to live, you think. with such rustic atmosphere and only a minute ' s trip to the big down- town! In reality it is just a little village with its own railway, in the center of Los Angeles. As vou reluctantly take your leave from this place you reflect on the aptness of the name— Angel ' s Flight— of the railway, which truly takes you close to heaven.

All day long the dust and heat Upon their scrawny leaflets beat, Until their verv roots seem To beg for mercv from their plight. Like downcast souls of men Trying humbly to win A happy life. STORY AND VERSE 119 FOR MEMORY ' S SAKE By Barbara Bruton Marilyn wiped the tears from her eyes. She just couldn ' t believe that she had been given a thirty day notice to find another job. Why, it just mustn ' t be, for she. although onlv nineteen, was the sole support of her sixteen year-old brother, Dave. She approached the manager. I ' m sorry. Miss Dean. You know we all like you, but this is an exclusive gown shop. Our manikins must be in perfect figure to model our latest creations correctly, and you surely must realize how much weight you have lost lately. This notice can ' t be helped. Well, that was life! Perhaps she was getting thin, there was reason enough, trying to keep Dave in school until he graduated, trying to keep both of them clothed, and trying to finish paving debts left from her father ' s funeral a vear ago. Yes, life is full of such breaks, but surely not for someone as voung and full of ambition as Marilyn was. She wanted Dave to secure the education that was denied h er; wanted him to be- come someone important in life, that ' s why she had been going without breakfast and lunch so often; he needed so many necessary things. It was impossible for anyone knowing her not to admire her con- stant courage. Her life reflected the wise teachings of her minister father, as she glowed with honesty and simplicity. Typical of this nature, Mari lyn went home and cheerfully greeted Dave as though she had received a raise instead of a notice. She retired earlv, feeling that her secret was safe from him. Her purse and wraps still lay on the table where she had first placed them, entirely forgotten. Finishing his homework. Dave accidentally pushed a book against Marilyn ' s purse, and its contents were scattered across the floor. Care- fully replacing each article, he suddenly came across the folded pink paper. Inquisitively, he opened it to find the tragic news. It was the find- ing of this paper that nearly ruined his life. Dave adored his unselfish sister, and decided then and there to do something about this situation. It wasn ' t fair that she should bear all the bear all the worn. The next dav, while in gym, Dave stole a watch from a friend. He sold it and brought the money home to Marilyn, who wondered where he had gotten it. She knew he had been trying to get a job after school, but he hadn ' t told her that he had been successful. Yes, he had tried, but jobs were just not to be found these days, anyway, not for bovs only sixteen. Around noon that dav He came. He was the man Marilyn had been waiting for. She was modeling a beautiful white satin creation for 120 THE ARTISAN W 38 a group of patrons when he came in and joined them. He noticed her, or was it the dress? One or the other had made him smile. Later, when the fashion show was over, he knocked at her dressing room door. In what room can I find the beautiful angel in white? he had inquired. He had been shown, and now Marilyn was opening the door, surprised but thoroughly pleased. He. Paul Merrick, had come to pur- chase an evening gown for his married sister, whose birthday was next week. Paul was nice, rich, and full of interesting conversation. Somehow she found herself riding home from work that evening, in his lovely car. After that, she never went home again by street car again. Marilyn, Paul, and Dave became a happy threesome, who frequently went to theaters and dinners. This new life thrilled Marilyn, and her new-found happiness was noted in her actions and her figure! The thirty day notice was canceled. Now there was nothing to worry about, but Dave had started a habit that could not be broken. Marilyn asked him about the money, which he now brought regularly. He answered with a shrug and, Oh, that ' s my secret. In reality he had found his first try so easy that he did the same thing again and again. Now it was impossible to pass up the temptation whenever it came. One April evening, after she had been out with Paul, Marilyn re- vealed to Dave that she and Paul were to be married in June. Dave was very happy for her, for now she could have everything she had always wanted, and surely deserved. Her happiness would be complete, he sup- posed, without him to look after. She had taken care of him since he was five. So he decided to run away, but going away meant money, and he had none. During the next month. Dave started a small bank account and con- tinued to give Marilyn a dollar or two each day besides. Marilyn was pleased with the job she supposed he had. Three weeks before the wed- ding, the bank which held Paul ' s fortune, suddenly failed. The loss was great, of course, but it didn ' t interrupt their plans for he still had another financial source. A few davs later, Marilyn came home to find Dave with his suitcases packed, ready to leave. Brokenhearted, she asked his reason. Had she done anything to hurt him? Well, vou ' re getting married, and you ' ll be happy, so I thought you would want me to be happy too. You know I hate school, so I want to quit and find a job: I ' m so tired of doing homework! Anyway, I ' m a bother. Dave, dear, she interupted, you ' ve never been a bother, besides, you have no money, and you couldn ' t go away without any, otherwise I wouldn ' t try to stop you. STORY AND VERSE 121 Hesitantly, Dave opened one of his bags and produced an envelope. In it were bonds, thousands of dollars worth! Marilyn gazed, completely stunned. I stole them, but in a few hours I ' ll be out of town, and anyway, tire people who live where I got these probably won ' t miss a few thous- and. Forgive me, Marilyn. fie kissed her and left. Somehow the night passed. The next day Marilyn didn ' t go to work, and that evening, Paul phoned, onlv to increase her trouble. A terrible thing has happened, Maril. Someone broke into the house last night while we were out, and my bonds, worth thousands, were stolen. I ' m broke, Maril, and I won ' t get married unless I can support my wife. Marilyn stood, too bewildered and horrified to an- swer. I ' ll be right over, dear, Paul stated. No, Paul, not tonight. I ' m not feeling well. It ' s all too awful, and has upset me terribly. I ' m going right to bed. She hardly knew what she was saying. She heard her own faint voice answering, Thanks, no. Oh, Paul, how could a thing like this happen to us, when we were going to be so happy? He quieted her, I ' ll be over tomorrow. Don ' t worry too much, things will work out all right. Goodnight, dear. Marilyn missed the hook as she tried to hang the receiver back on it with her trembling fingers. Dave had ruined her life while trying to improve it. He hadn ' t known whose home he had entered; they had never taken him there. Now within the twenty four hours since he had gone, he would be miles away. She must never tell Paul, though, even if it meant her own happiness. She loved Paul so, but what were they go- ing to do? The bright sun, coming through the windows, awoke Marilyn at seven the next morning to find that she had fallen asleep on the front room couch. That day she was unable to find pleasure in her work, but quitting time finally came, and Paul, as usual, was waiting for her. She looked up; she had to look again. Yes, it was true, his face was wreathed in smiles! Come, Maril, we ' re going to turn in your resignation this very minute. Marilyn whitened. But, win ' , what happened? she stammered, thoroughly amazed. 122 THE ARTISAN W 38 • ' My stolen bonds were returned! Someone left them at the house this morning. Think of that! he joyfully informed her. Her head was reeling all the way -home. When they opened the door, there sat Dave, doing homework. Quickly, Marilyn excused her- self into the kitchen and then summoned Dave to her. You see, sis, explained the returned boy, Yesterday was Dad ' s birthday, and last night I was passing a church and decided to hear the sermon in his memory. It was similar to one he always taught us, about ' honesty being bravery. ' I wasn ' t being brave, I saw it then; I was being a coward. I would have hurt him terribly if he had been here, and on his birthday too! Well, I made my decision, slept in a hotel last night, and the forst thing this morning I returned the bonds. I ' ve learned that honesty is the best policy and I ' m going to finish school: And, Marilyn, do you think you and Paul could send me to college? PEACE By Gerry McGuire As she sits among the bedlam Of the clashing, dashing world, A tear is seen to flow down waxen cheek. And she puzzles o ' er the bloodstains On each and every flag unfurled. And the wars that start anew each week. The dove upon her shoulder Drops its head in puzzled fear, And the branch within its mouth seems wilted, dead. And the mighty war clouds rumble As though laughing at this tear, As though their murderous satiety was fed. STORY AND VERSE 123 THE NOBLE ART OF STRAPHANGING By Maizie Mendenhall Among the achievements I call really great, nonchalant straphang- ing ranks high. These sophisticated strectcarites who can enjov a novel or digest the contents of a newspaper while leisurely supporting them- selves on a flimsy strap, have my greatest admiration. Even Wodehouse ceases to charm me while I am slowly crushed between two huge strap- hangers, or swinging back and forth on my own little strap— and Wode- house is a favorite of mine. The whole procedure of streetcar riding is a mystery to mc. I watch with envy as the practiced rider swings lightly up the steps, makes a hole-in-one with his token, easily grasps the nearest strap and then, ob- livious of jolts of the car and jabs of sharp elbows, loses himself in his paper or book. My own attempts at nonchalance are deplorable. The steps form the first obstacle, then conies the token box— usually the third aim succeeds— then search for a strap, and finally the straphanging itself. Gentlv sway- ing back and forth, I begin to thmk at last I ' ve conquered the art. But no— with a jolt of the car the apologies commence. The joy of battle fills the first few minutes with pleasure but grad- ually, as 1 realize defeat is inevitable, bitterness invades my soul. I vow- that never again will I enter a crowded streetcar, but vowing does no good. At the end of my journey I disembark with a sigh of relief, know- ing only too well that I will soon be in the same predicament again and consoling myself that someday it must happen — I must succeed. Straps and straphangers— long may they waver. CHRONOLOGY By Ralph Ottc Men have stood — Those who could— In long, cold, shivering lines Waiting For food. But now Times are good And most people Have food. 124 THE ARTISAN W ' 38 WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE! By Jean Hall As the haze settled down over the small midwestern town, I cracked the leaves beneath my feet in a slow monotonous drudge. Long ago I had forgotten to care much about the pines that encircled my long vanished childhood; long ago I had forgotten how to dream. And, it ' seemed, perhaps, to others, I was modern ' in my strange new ideas of quickness and mechanized mentality. In the year lqiq. I came home from the war— I ' d been across the sea. Eighteen vears had come since then in a slow succession. I ' d lived each year with a mask covering my feelings, a mask such as might have been found in the fields of France. Blood had been my sole companion in the vears I spent overseas. I ' d gone hand in hand with death the whole way. As I had hated the stench of field and forest then, I longed for them now, longed for them with a half crazed desire. I did not want the war again, but only to feel once more the nightmare that would drown out my fears now. I was not wounded when I disembarked from the army boat onto the fish-smelling wharves of New York eighteen years ago 1 had not even been grazed. Far worse than mere physical destruction, I had died a death that would wrench me again and again with pain. I still have the scar where my buddy bit my arm to help the scalding shots of pain before he went over the top. I still have a doughboy ' s watch and chain which his strong old mother gave me when she found her son wouldn ' t need this gift for his birthdav. Cold, cruel horror that bled a man before the bullet found its place, made drink a laughing pleasure. And yet, the trenches did not hold the real jovs for the devil— it was the sight of death wracked bodies in fever and delirium— it was the rotten smells of the death chamber— it was the calling for a mother who wasn ' t there— it was glazed eyes and beads of sweat — it was hell! And then, the haze swept on, encompassed an ending decade to meet around the mountain . . . glory . . . glory who knows what! We fought for glorv . . . and died for it! I died and am dead!

All that is unyielding and unconquerable is descriptive of this sign. The Bull is symbolic of the will to win no matter what the hazards or how seemingly unattainable the goal. That is the attitude of Manual Arts athletic organizations. Because of this unyielding and unconquerable spirit the Toilers excel in all the conventional sports. Taurus also stands for the ability to follow the leader and teamwork. Without either of these no organization can accomplish much. It is this bull headedness and stubborn refusal to lose, combined with teamwork and fine leadership that make Manual an outstanding school in the field of athletics. The teams as one being lower their heads, set their eyes on a goal, and then start a furious charge that will not be stopped ' till goal has been attained. ffULrr j c. 128 THE ARTISAN W 38 THE COACHING STAFF OF MANUAL ARTS When an athletic team representing Manual Arts barges upon the field of competition, it can be assured that the best coaching both in fundamentals and sportsmanship in the city has been given that particular purple and grey clad squad. All Toilerdom is and should be proud indeed of its athletic coaches as they are symbolic- of what a true sportsman should be. Sid Foster: Coach Foster is the head of Manual ' s athletic depart- ment, and is responsible for all sporting equipment used by the Artisan athletes. Coach Foster is well versed in the make-up of good equipment, and will stand for nothing but the best for his sport competitors. James Blewett: Coach Blcwett, Foxy. is the head football coach (varsity) during the months of the pigskin game, and coach of the bee track team during the spike season. His record speaks for itself. Wendell Smith: Coach Smith is serving his second year as an athletic instructor at Manual and has done a very good job. As line coach of the football team he has turned out five boys mentioned on all-star teams, and. last term, mentored a varsity track squad to high honors. James Armstrong: Coach Armstrong is the varsity basketball in- structor during the casaba seaon, and coach of the class cee track team during the summer months. He always manages to turn out a melon quintet that can really go places, while his cee track squads are the terrors of the league. Art Williams: Coach Williams is really a busy fellow at Man- ual. He coaches the gym team and the golf squad during the summer, and turns out a bee casaba quintet during the winter. For four years Manual ' s gym team was undefeated. Herbert Lougheed: Coach Lougheed quietly goes about his job of eliminating defects in boys who are underweight, undersize, etc. He also loves baseball, being the sponsor of the horsehide team.

Eight straight wins, no losses or ties, featured the Artisan football season. Coach Blcwett was lauded in the metropolitan press for his record of three champion teams in four years. Lincoln ' s Railsplitters were the first victims of the Toilers in a game on Wilson Field. The Tigers were outclassed, outblocked, and out- charged to a tune of 1 3 to o. Eagle Rock ' s Eagles had their wings clipped by a score of 26 to o. The Toilers punched through four touchdowns and the squad displayed the first real signs of the power winch carried them through to the city title. Jefferson ' s Democrats fought the Artisans to a standstill until an in- tercepted Demo pass enabled the Toilers to score in the last fortv seconds of play to win their first Southern league game. Washington ' s Ccncrals lost 25 to o when the Toilers ran roughshod in the second half. Great line play bolstered by flashy backfield running and blocking, kept the Surveyors in the hold throughout the fracas. Polytechnic ' s Parrots were led to the Manual sacrificial altar, and for the fifth time in 5 years went home on the short end of the score. While the Artisans rolled up 20 points, the Parrots were unable to score. Fremont ' s Pathfinders did their best to knock the purple and grev out of the win column. Two long pass plays clicked in the last quarter, giving the Manual gridders a 12 to 6 victory over the game Fremont aggregation. An early pass was completed for forty yards and a touch- down for the Trailblazcrs. This was the first time the Toilers had been scored upon for the season. Huntington Park ' s Spartans were defeated 2 to 6 by the Blcwett- men, cinching the Southern League title. A spirit of teamwork prevailed with the blocking exceptionally well done. Marshall ' s highly rated Barristers looked like a fairly good outfit when thev plaved a strong Manual Arts team in the Coliseum before 20,000 spectators. The fact that Marshall lost 34 to 7 simply indicated that they were up against a team playing ball with a great determination of winning for their school and Marshall could not withstand the effec- tiveness of the Artisans on that dav. THE ARTISAN W ' 38 Tigers stop Gentry after Ions FOOTBALL CARNIVAL Amid the colorful surroundings of the Los Angeles Memorial Col- iseum, playing before some 65,000 prep grid fanatics, six high school pigskin squads representing the South side of sunny L. A., and six of the same representing the North side, battled to a 12-12 deadlock in the an- nual prep-school football carnival held to secure funds to aid under-priv- ileged children. Banning (S) and North Hollywood (N) started the grid festivities by fighting to a scoreless tie. The Banning squad displayed a little more power than their rivals. Torrance (S) met Bell (N) in the second quarter (each set of teams played one quarter consisting of fifteen minutes) with neither team scor- ing. Torrance was the better team on the offense, with defense ability about equal. The sparks really flew in the next fracas, the one between Roosevelt (S) and Fairfax (N). Leo Cantor of Roosevelt scored for the Roughriders near the start of the period. The Colonials retaliated later in the quarter, however, with Eugene Grady scoring the touchdown for Fairfax. Neither team converted making the score: North, 6; South, 6. Jefferson (S) and Los Angeles (N) battled to another scoreless tie, though the Democrats came closest to scoring. Jess Farris, L.A.. and Watson, Jeff, were outstanding in the short scrimmage. Gardcna (S) defeated Marshall (N), 6-0, in the fifth game, giving the South a 12-6 lead. The touchdown for Gardena was scored on a 46 yard pass from Zaharis to Burns. Manual Arts, Major city champions, met San Fernando. Minor tit) title holders in the last contest. The Tigers pulled a mild upset by scoring on the Toilers, then holding the Artisan moleskinners at bav until the gun ended the encounter. The final score was: South, 12: North. 12. ATHLETICS 1 33 Russo being brought down In Schmidt TOILERS SUBDUE RAILSPLITTERS Manual, i :;: Lincoln, o Displaying a powerful defense that stopped all Railsplitter running plays colder than a fan dancer in an ice house, the 1957 edition of the Manual Arts football varsity made its initial appearance a successful one, when it turned back a light, fast Lincoln grid contingent 13-0 before a crowd of 7000 fans on Wilson field. The Toilers, after getting off to a bad start in the first canto, crashed in on a blocked punt and a timely fumble in the second and third periods respectively, to push across their two tallies. Chuck Fears, tackle, and Dick Fullaway, end, slipped through the line, blocked an attempted punt bv Joseph, half back, and the Toilers recovered the ball on the Lincoln eighteen yard strip. Three plays ad- vanced the ball to the one yard line, from which point Joltin ' Johnny Wynne, Manual ' s hard hitting fullback and captain, plunged over the last white line for the first Artisan score of the season. Clarence Coleman kicked a perfect placement for the extra point. Manual made it 13-0 when Ed Irwin, end, pounced on a Railsplitter fumble on the visitors ' twenty-eight yard line. In three tries the Toilers sailed to the six, then to the one. Lonnie Gentry, half back, lugged the in- flated hoghide over for the last tallv. Score: Manual. 13; Lincoln, o. The Manual line was outstanding all afternoon, while Wynne, Schmidt, Cook, and Krueger starred in the backfield. J 34 THE ARTISAN W 38 The Eagles almost complete one EAGLE ROCK TROUNCED Manual, 26; Eagle Rock, o Showing much improvement over their performance in the Lincoln game, the Manual moleskinners swamped the Eagles from Eagle Rock under a 26-0 score on Wilson Field, concluding their practice games for the season. Johnny Wynne again scored the first touchdown of the game when he intercepted a Rocker pass and sped 62 yards down the sidelines to the goal, untouched. Stan Cerro, end, accomplished the same feat in the second canto, snagging a pass on the Eagle twenty-s ix for a touchdown. Clarence Coleman converted. The third score came as a result of a twenty-four yard pass by Nick Condos, half, to Bob Schmidt, who latcraled to Phil Cook, quarter. The play gained thirty-three yards placing the ball on the Rocker nine. Condos scored in two plays, making the score 19-0. Bob Schmidt, half, scored the final touchdown on a forty-four yard jaunt through tackle. Snake-hips Schmidt was unaided on this long run, eluding two would be tacklers with a deft twist of the hips. Schmidt also made the try for point good. Final score: Manual, 26; Eagle Rock, o. Nick Condos, diminutive half, was the star of the game with his pass- ing and open field running. Cook. Schmidt, and Wynne were outstanding backs, while Don Wilier, Chuck Fears, and Bruce Snitzler starred on the line. ATHLETICS 135 Captain Wynne off to the races DEMOCRATS DUMPED Manual, 7; Jefferson, o A highly touted Jefferson eleven traveled to Toilerdom to engage Manual ' s vaunted pigskin warriors in the first league contest of the ig37 prep season. The Jeffmen were favored to defeat the Artisans, but a fight- ing Toiler eleven turned back the Demo scourge to win, 7-0. The game was in its last stages when Nick Condos, flashy, elusive, Toiler half, intercepted a Demo pass on the Jeff 4s. and raced behind perfect interference to the visitors ' 1 yard line, where he was slapped to the ground by two green and yellow bruisers. Manual was not to be denied, however, and Nick smashed over tackle in the very next play to score the only touchdown of the game. Bob Snakehips Schmidt, Artisan half, con- verted to give the Toilers seven points. It was a thrilling game from start to finish, with Manual showing a slight edge on offense, and a much better defense. Don Wilier, who was selected on the all-city team at the conclusion of the season, was a tower of strength in the line, piling up many an offensive thrust by the Jeffmen. Other Toilers who starred on the forward wall were Pop Fears, tackle. Hubert Clark and Bruce Snitzler, guards, Travis French and Bill Culler, centers, and Ralph Borrelli and Bill Plumley, ends. Joltin ' Johnnv Wynne played a sterling game at fullback, blocking beautifully and smacking the line like a pile driver. Lonnie Gentry and Bob Schmidt went great guns at the half-back spots, while Phil Cook called signals without a flaw. Outstanding for Jeff were Tom Direaux, Nick Jacobs, and Dennis Chatman in the line, while Nickerson. Tafova. Purdue and Watson were great threats in the backfield. i 3 6 THE ARTISAN W 38 Generals stop Condos GENERALS COURTMARTIALED Manual, 25; Washington, o With lady luck smiling on the purple and gray the Artisans whipped the Generals of Washington on Wilson field, 25 to o before a crowd of 8000 prep grid fans. The Toilers scored four tallies in the last half and only one of the four tallies was justly earned. A fighting Washington eleven held the Toilers to a scoreless first half and seemed destined to succeed in avenging their one point set back of the season 1936. Their dream was quickly ended when the third quarter began and Bob Schmidt intercepted a flat pass and skirted thirty yards for a touchdown. Schmidt missed the conver- sion. In the same quarter, Dick Fullaway, Manual end, recovered a Gen- eral fumble on the Washington ' s two yard line and Joltin ' Johnny Wynne plunged over for the second score. Bob Magnantc was rushed into the game to make good the conversion. The third Toiler score came in the fourth quarter when johnny Wynne intercepted a short pass and tore fifty yards down the sideline to make the score ig to o. The justly earned touchdown was a sixty yard march down the field with Gentry tallying for the locals. In winning the game, the Artisans lost the valuable services of center Bill Culler, who broke a bone in his right wrist. Wilier, Snitzler, Plumley, Fears, Clark, and Culler played outstandingly as linemen, and Cook plaved heads-up ball in the secondary. ATHLETICS 137 Gentry skirts right end for a sizable gain PARROTS PUMMELED Manual, 20; Polytechnic, o Before a homecoming crowd of 8,000 fans, the Toiler team com- pletely overpowered a fighting Polytechnic eleven by the score of 20 to o on the winner ' s field. The Manual eleven rolled up eighteen first downs and did not yield one first down to the Parrots. The purple and grey showed much improve- ment over the performance of the last week marching down the field thirty-seven, fifty-five, and thirty-one yards, all ending in touchdowns and two conversions. With the brunt of the running attack being carried by Johnny Wynne heralded all-city fullback, Lonmc Gentry and Bob Schmidt, the Toilers drove their way to the first score with Wynne making the touch- down Driving fifty-five vards in eleven plays in the third quarter, the second score was accomplished with Wynne again crossing into paydirt. Coleman converted, making the score 1 3 to o. A pass from Gentry to Schmidt was good for eleven yards and the third touchdown which was near the close of the third quarter. Coleman again converted making the final score, Manual, 20; Poly, o. Wilier played all-city ball throughout the game showing to a great advantage on his offensive blocking. Snitzler, Fears, Clark, Fullawav and Plumlev played steady ball stoping the Mechanic offense with great regularity. l 3 8 THE ARTISAN W 58 Dominos of Fremont about to be stopped by Irwin PATHFINDERS DOWNED Manual, 12; Fremont, 6 An inspired Fremont Pathfinder almost shoved the Toilers into the defeat column in the fourth league game played on the Trailblazers ' field. The Pathfinders played inspired ball throughout the encounter. valiantly trying to upset the heavily favored gridders from Toilerdom. Fremont ' s touchdown came in the first quarter by ways and means of a long pass from Czar to Dal ton marking the first time that the purple and grey had their goal line crossed this season. The Fremontians held their six point lead until the fourth quarter rolled along, and then the Toilers open up a passing attack that quickly scored two touchdowns providing for the margin of victory. The first score came on a forward pass from Gentry to Dragna followed by a lateral to Plumley who ambled the remaining distance to the goal line. The con- version was missed. The second was a long pass from Gentry to Schmidt, who caught the ball after a Fremont back had batted the pigskin into his arms and snakehipped lus way some 20 yards to score the winning canto. The Artisans were up against the toughest line they had met all season and had a difficult time in opening holes. Melvin Bleeker proved to be the hardest hitting back of the league, cracking off large gains through the Toiler team. Wilier, Fears, Clark, Snitzler, French and Irwin turned in good games at then line positions, while Schmidt, Wynne, Gentry, North and Borrelli showed up strong in the hackfield. ATHLETICS 139 Schmidt clinics Spartans for long gain SPARTANS OVERPOWERED Manual, 25; Huntington, 6 The Manual footballers established themselves as Southern League grid champions with an overwhelming victorv over a fighting Huntington Park eleven on the losers ' field. The final score was Manual 25. Hunting- ton Park 6. The Artisans were unable to score in the first quarter though running freclv through the Spartan line. In the second quarter the Blcwcttmen started on the Parker q.2, and in six plays Gentry, Schmidt and Wynne ad- vanced the ball within the hosts ' ten yard line where the former crossed the goal line standing up to score the first touchdown. Just before the end of the half, Gentrv faded and tossed a long pass to Schmidt who caught it over the goal line making the score 1 2 to o. The Spartans came out fighting at the start of the second half and started a drive that finally earned them a touchdown. Sparta ' s touchdown came on a short pass from Davis to Swift, all Southern league back. In the middle of the fourth quarter the locals carried the ball 41 yards for the third touchdown with Wynne bucking the ball over from the five yard line. The most outstanding plav of the day came about on the return of an H. P. punt retrieved bv Schmidt and lateraled to Borrelli, who saun- tered 70 vards to the final touchdown, making the score 2 to 6. The whole line played bang up ball stopping the Spartan offensive cold. Swift, Campbell and Davis starred for the orange and grew 140 THE ARTISAN W 58 A .

Bob Schmidt proved a very valuable link in the Toiler machine by scoring four touchdowns and one conversion for a grand total of 25 points. The Toilers ran the Barristers ragged with vicious off tackle slashes. tricky reverses and effective passing attack garnering fourteen first downs to the losers ' two. The initial score came in the first period after a march of fifty-five yards on an off tackle reverse with Schmidt carrying the ball for the tally. The blocking was practically perfect on this play with not even one oppon- ent being able to lay a hand on Schmidt. Coleman converted. In the second quarter the Artisans gained possession of the ball on their own forty-five and proceeded to carry the ball to the second touch- down with Schmidt again reaching paydirt on a pass thrown by Borrelli. Schmidt converted. At the start of the half the locals again marched down the field with the same deceptive power shown in the first half and scored their third touchdown. Lonnie Gentry ' s 31 yard run and Johnny Wynne ' s line plung- ing featured the drive. The Barrister stands went wild shortly after the Artisan score when Glen Huber heaved a beautiful pass to Bob Hill for a touchdown. The ATHLETICS M 1 It ' s that one man riot ' pass and run was good for seventy-one yards. Challoner added the extra point. With only six minutes left in the game the Blewettmcn scored two more touchdowns and converted once completing the day ' s scoring. The first was made by a pass from Gentry to Schmidt with Coleman converting and the second was scored by Harold Kruegcr on a delayed buck fifteen seconds before the end of the game. Johnnv Wynne ended his high school football career bv plaving a great game. His line plunging, offensive blocking and defensive line back- ing was a large factor in overwhelming the Judges. Chuck Fears. Bruce Snitzlcr. Travis French, Ed Irwin, Hubert Clark and Dick Fullaway also ended their high school prep grid days showing great coordination, and an airtight defense which stopped the blucshirt plays continually. All-city Don Wilier turned in a great game for the forward wall as did Ralph Borrelli, Bob Schmidt and Lonnie Gentry in the backfield. Other seniors who saw action in the game arc Bob Magnante, Bob Francis, Wes Owsley, Stan Cerro, Nick Condos, Harold Krueger, Jack Gregory, Ed Lindsay, Preston Elmas, Eugene McVey and Alex North. For the losers, Allan Joyce and Nick Nannes carried the burden in the carrying department while Albert Challoner and Irving Conrad were the mainstays on the forward wall. 142 THE ARTISAN V ' 38 ir f M J % Irwin McVey Culler Borrelli Ed Irwin: Ed held down one of the end positions, starring on offense with a great knack of snatching passes.

He played his best in the championship encounter with Marshall. Hubert will not answer the football call next year. Travis French: Travis was one of the steadiest centers in Manual ' s historv and his defensive work against passing was par excellence. Travis came up from the bee ranks and prosed to be a great asset to the grid eleven. He will graduate with the Cardinal class and will be greatlv missed next year.

In the first practice game with the Redskins from Hollywood, the Purple and gray eleven were held to a 6 to 6 tie. Not to be daunted however the Manual lads took their second practice tilt from the Eagle Rock Eagles by a score of 12 to o. Rav Marsh was easily the star of the game with his long punts and run-backs of kicks. The well organized play of the champions kept Jefferson and Wash- ington scoreless while the lads amassed a total of 22 points. Facing probably the strongest team thev had plaved all year, the Manual lads won from Polv r to 6. Gonzales ' kicking was a highlight of the game, as was the signal calling of Kalionzes of the Parrot eleven. Trailing 7 to 6 at the half the Artisans overcame the Fremont lead and then went on to defeat the Pathfinders by a 12 to 7 score. Captain Wendling was easily the standout on the Toiler forward wall while Har- tunian of the visitors was always a threat with his running and passing. The Artisan eleven were officially recognized as Southern League Champions after winning in the last minute of play from a strong Hunt- ington Park eleven by a score of 7 to o. Those composing the championship team during the past year were, Capt.

Hats off to Coach Williams! ATHLETICS CLASS CEE Nothing but the best was the motto that the midget team adopted when they were presented with a new coach, Mr. Max Aron, for the 1937 season. The Toilers completed an impressive season by having a secure grip on the third spot in the all city league, which was captured by San Pedro. Playing the Loyola Cubs at Wilson field in a practice game saw the Artisans coming out of the game with a 7-0 victory. The lone Toiler tally was scored by Tom Tsuji in the latter part of the game. ' A week later, the midget men opened their league competition by holding a favored buccaneer team from San Pedro to a 7-7 tie. Manual ' s touchdown came in the last few minutes of play much to the disgust of the Pirates. The first setback of the season came when the Artisans were handed a 6-0 shellacking by the Los Angeles Romans who were beaten last year 12-7. Travelling to Hamilton for the final league game, the Vermont lads ran up their highest score when they decisively trounced the Fed- eralists 27-0. The Manual team made 11 first downs to the opponents ' 2. Those deserving a great deal of praise for their brilliant playing on the line are Schaeffer and Langendorfer, ends; Steier and Hutchins, tackles; Captain Denny, Minabe, Sakakura, guards; and Biefu, center.

ATHLETICS 153 HERE AND THERE WITH THE TEAM i 5 4 lHE ARTISAN W ' 38 COACH BLEWETT Making Manual a school to be proud of in the world of sports is this native born son of California. James J. Blewett, known throughout the campus as Coach Jim Blewett, the Artisan grid mentor who produced so many notable squads of men. Sooner will heaven close and evening lay the day to rest tha n the glory of Purple and Grev varsity football team can be denied, and an explanation as to capability of Jim Blewett is unnecessary. Starting his career as a pigskin carrier at Manual in those good old days when things were something, played fullback, conveying the pighide to glory, he be- came a three year letterman. After graduating from Toilerdom in S ' 17 he came back to his alma mater several years later to coach the football squad for about a year, when he went to Fresno High school for five ' years. During his stay at Fresno, he turned out two basketball teams which got a crack at the State champion- ship titles; brought forth two baseball championship teams; and three football teams out of five years of service. Then the year 1927 rolled around when Coach Blewett came to Manual as head football coach. In twelve years of coaching here at Manual, he has turned out four Artisan grid champions. They were in the years of 1930, 1934. 1936, and r937. The Blewett gridmen barely missed the chance of snatching the title of city champions in 1929 and 1931. Then returning with a bang, he coached the casaba throwers in capturing the crown as city- champions in 1929 and 1930, though he didn ' t succeed in producing football champions. The Manual motto must have stood 111 his mind. It can be done. During the last five years, Coach Blewett ' s Toilers have lost two league games in pigskin chasing. Then also to conclude the record break- ing coaching at Manual, the Toilers plaved twenty-three games without defeat yvith one tic and fifteen consecutive victories. With the ability of producing outstanding teams of any kind, and turning out good football players, the coach is noted for his fair play and character forming ability. Even though lacking material, now and then, the result of intensive drills and practice, has established a fine record for Bleyvett ' s Artisan football squads. ATH LETICS 55 TOILER CLUB Winding up the 20th year, the Toiler Club enjoyed a highly success- ful season under the supervision of Coach Foster, and Irving Friedin, president.

Nickey Condos, Artisan Sports Editor MILITARY By Dorothy Hepburn Well-chosen, indeed, is Leo the lion, to represent military life, as the qualities of this sign so perfectly illustrate and coincide with those of our national organization. Among ancient superstitions we find the belief that the heart was governed bv this sign and common in our modern language of today is the expression, lion-hearted, typical of the strength and courage, both cf this sign and militarism. Leo is idealistic in ambitions and tends to swing to extremes in energetic activity. However, too lively aspirations are fortunately balanced by the sterling qualities of self-control and obedience, which is necessary to any organization, as well as the far-famed military efficiency. Also governed by this sign are intelligent, independent thinkers, ranking high in intuition and possessing the convenient ability to adjust themselves easily to any condition of life. The king of beasts has been synonymous with militarism since olden times. Ancients worshipped him as the embodiment of all their courageous and conquering ambitions and ideals. In the Middle Ages, during the Crusades, the great military learder of those times was called the Lion-hearted — Richard Coeur de Leon. This noble looking animal has graced the flag or banner of many a conquering hero and nation in the past, and even today may be seen floating majestically over military defenses.

So highly is the Squad esteemed, that the chairman of the Lions ' club sent a letter to the Secretarv of the State of California requesting him to send a Great Seal of California to each member of the squad as a token of the Club ' s appreciation. The members received their seals and were highly pleased realizing that they had brought honor not only to themselves, but to their school. Such an efficient and able organization as this can onlv be developed after long periods of diligent rehearsal under the command of an efficient and able leader. Such a leader is Captain Bob Hewitt who this term has de- voted m uch time to developing a drill squad of which all Manual may well be proud. The progress of the squad was greatly expedited by the previous ex- perience of the members, viz.. Captain Brown, Captain Billings, Captain Lord, Lt. Lee, Lt. Vedborg. Lt. Allott, and Sgt. Hickox. MILITARY x6 3 o o OFFICERS ' CLUB Each term the Officers ' Club reorganizes, electing a new cabinet and taking in new members. However, its duties and obligations remain the same. On the field each day the officers are in charge of the R.O.T.C. While training the men, new problems continually arise which are dis- cussed and thrashed out during the club ' s meetings. The result is a finer and more efficient battalion. The club ' s secondary duty is to promote the R.O.T.C. Ball which al- most invariably brings in a good sized profit to the treasury. Elected president. Captain Roy Billings has again displayed his in- fluential leadership while presiding over the club ' s meetings by main- taining order and a business-like attitude among the members. Captain Brown, vice president; Captain Lord, secretary; and Captain Gregory, sergeant-at-arms, compose the rest of the cabinet. C.M.T.C. A difficult disciplinary life awaits those who attend the Citizens ' Military Training Camp during July. However, notwithstanding that fact, the camps are well attended each year by many boys who wish to qualify as worthv citizens and military leaders. A number of interesting events, however, liven the camp ' s daily rou- tine; namely a gas mask drill in which regular service masks and genuine tear gas is employed, a few days target practice on a five hundred yard range with a 30 caliber United States rifle, a six mile hike over the hills but not very far away; visitor ' s day, and the most awaited event of all- pay day. Upon leaving camp, each member is given a certificate of completion which, when presented to an employer, gready increases the chance of landing the job. The C.M.T.C. is a highly recommended organization which will greatlv benefit, both mentally and physically, all who attend. 164 THE ARTISAN W 38 CAPRICORN THE GOAT By Gloria Parker School life is the fun, gaiety, and friendship that we shall remember all our lives. Capricorn seems to symbolize this because it stands for ideals, harmony, and pleasant associations. Campus life broadens our education and gives to school days that touch of pleasantry needed to make the work more enjoyable. The paths of learning which each of us pursue may vary greatly, but all are similar because of the common associations, acquaintances, and experiences shared in the interesting merry-go-round of school life. Meeting other people, knowing them, working with them teaches us to respect and tolerate their habits and opinions which may be so different from our own attitude. It is also one of the grandest ways in the world to learn and practice living. As the students rush across the campus to their various classes it is possible to have a fairly accurate cross-section of the typical activity of the American high-school student. There are those intent on their studies; the dreamers who walks along thinking of every thing but school; a group of giggling girls and loud-laughing boys; a student anxiously read- ing and memorizing scribbled notes; the inevitable rowdies playing a practical joke of which no one can see the point but themselves; and the teachers, some smiling, some scowling but always in a hurry. The Goat is proud and independent as are each of these people in their own way. All have private dreams of goals and ideals. Some are alike, but most of them entirely different. A few will some day actually live their dreams, others will lose sight of them entirely and perhaps find new ones or go on taking life as it comes. Whatever happens or whatever each turns out to be, the shaping of every individual character was begun during the days of school life. It is up to the individual whether that shall be an influence for the good or bad. We can make it what we wish, as in the slogan of Manual Arts It can be done. r!rf U?£ 166 THE ARTISAN W 38 SCHOOL LIFE Monday, September 13, 1937 A new term!

SCHOOL LIFE 177 i 7 8 THE ARTISAN W3S DRAMA AND MUSIC Gemini belongs to the realm of educators, and drama and music are the twins of an educated civilization. This sign also means dissatisfaction and love of knowledge, which of course go hand in hand with music and drama. Those who are fond of these two are forever striving to learn more and are never satisfied entirely in their quest for something greater or better. Education is the keynote to an understanding of these two. Music and drama appeal to the aesthetic and emotional senses of man and hence are a relief and a comfort from the hum-drum, furious pace of modern existence. Civilized man, who has required the conventionally re- quired knowledge understands and enjoys the higher form of these two re- laxations. He demands perfection of music, perfect harmony, connected rhythm, finesse in acting, and drama in its most advanced form. But drama and music are both a universal language that joins the civilized and the primitive in an undisputed tie and incidentally proves that in the most superior of us there is a common bond with our lower brother. True, the savage of Africa may not understand or enjov a great Wag- nerian opera or a Bach fugue, but Revel ' s Bolero would delight his simple heart, for it has the plaintive, undulated rhythm that he under- stands and a sobbing minor melodv that affects his emotional senses. This same primitive man may not enjoy Shakespeare ' s Hamlet but he would enjoy a Punch and Judy show to the nth degree. We like drama because in imagination we become the characters on the st age and for a time forget even dav existence. We like music because it lifts the soul from our mortal bodv and transports us to a wonderful plane that mav give a glimpse of something immortal and eternal. i8o THE ARTISAN W 38 JR. ORCHESTRA LITTLE SYMPHONY CONCERT BAND DRAMA AND MUSIC 181 JUNIOR ORCHESTRA The Junior Orchestra, under the leadership of Mr. Killgrovc, is com- posed of a group of serious students who spend the hour in the studv of musical literature and in getting acquainted with the different masters of music. The objective of most of the students is to equip themselves for a more advanced organization, such as the Senior Orchestra, and also for an occasional public appearance as a class. The officers of the club for this term were: Howard Hunt, president; Alvin Davis, boys ' vice-president; Blanche Taylor, girls ' vice-president; Milbre Curry, secretary; Benny Sullivan, treasurer. A CAPPELLA CHOIR With the trend of American choral groups emphasizing the beauty of A Cappella singing, the Manual A Cappella Choir is working hand in hand with the many other clubs of its kind, to present to our school and outsiders what can be called the most beautiful kind of human song. The thrill of making and being a part of a group of human harmon- izers, is the dailv pleasure of a large number of students. Several public performances were made in our Auditorium, including the dedication ceremonies, in addition to the traditional school caroling at the holidav season. A grand and glorious Christmas partv was held at the swimming stadium, and was judged the best ever, bv evervbodv taking part in its fun and frolic. New surplices for our black robes have added a touch of interest to all our appearances this fall, and the club is very proud of the record of accomplishment this year. Those responsible for the enlarged activities are as follows; Charles Cavanaugh, president; Beth Lou Oren, vice president; Beverly Sisto, secretarv; Billv Clampitt. treasurer; and Lillian Weiss and Le Roy Payne, librarians. Miss Elizabeth Mottern is adviser and also directs the musical activities of the club. THE CONCERT BAND The concert band has been steadily improving for several semesters; this semester is no exception. It is a band whose principal purpose is studving serious music of a concert nature. It works in close cooperation with the Football Band and Army Band. It is an unusually well-balanced band this term, and has appeared in several activities on Wilson Field. The officers of the band are: Frank Jacobs, president; Bob Gregory, vice president; Bernice Mar- kus, secretarv; Albert Gates, treasurer; Wm. T. Killgrove, sponsor. l82 THE ARTISAN W 38 9 BTfTT PLAYERS ' COMPANY STRING QUINTETTE MANUAL FOUR DRAMA AND MUSIC 183 STRING QUINTETTE Small in number, but mighty in power is the string quintette. Have you heard them play? When you do, you will agree that they are quite capable of carrying Manual ' s musical message to our school and to our community at large. They are kept busy, too. Not only have they played for clubs and musical programs in our own school, but they have gone to other schools in the district, and to outside club organizations with their talents. Among these occasions have been the Elementary Principals ' banquet, the textbook division luncheon during Teachers ' Institute, and the Music Educators ' Conference luncheon at the Women ' s Athletic Club. These students are playing from the best music written for tins combination of instruments, and are getting valuable training in public performance. They are using their talents worthily in bringing something beautiful to their community, and in so doing are developing strength and personality in themselves. The members of the quintette this term are Lanier Bower, violin; Glendora Calderwood, violin; David Harper, viola; Jcanette De Moulin, cello; and Clara Silvers, piano. Miss Ina M. Davids is musical director and sponsor for the quintette. MANUAL FOUR Keeping alive the tradition of the well-established, popular, and hard- working Manual Four, the second edition of this small, but exclusive group of Aeolian Club members, strikes out into well-known organizations whose programs have been enhanced by their presentation of both serious and comic numbers. More work than the average person imagines, goes into the prepar- ation of a single number before it can be done in public. Several hours a week are spent in regular rehearsal and many extra hours when preparing for a special concert of note. They took an active part in the dedication concert in our new auditor- ium, the party of the Lvric and Aeolian Clubs, the boys ' Aeolian ban- quet and a large number of outside affairs. The Four consists of Eugene Bryant, first tenor; Oren Waite, sec- ond tenor; Bob Priest, first bass; Laurie Larsen, second bass, with Irving Newman acting as their accompanist. Miss Mortem continues as coach of the Four and feels that they have a great deal of promise as a quartette and will hold up the standard already set for quality and accomplishment, and that Manual can well be proud of her newest male quartette. 184 THE ARTISAN W 38 GIRLS ' LYRIC CLUB AEOLIAN CLUB A CAPPF.LLA CHOIR DRAMA AND MUSIC 185 AEOLIAN CLUB The Boys ' Aeolian Club has certainly come into its own. As one of the most popular organizations for boys, and with each prospective mem- ber running into heavy competition in order to be in active fellowship in the group, only a few of the finest can be chosen for membership. It can truly be said, that in no other boys ' club, can there be found such a bond of real fellowship and good will. This is one reason that its popularity has spread into all corners of the campus and members feel there can be no greater honor than to be allowed the privilege of wear- ing the sweater of gold and blue. Many musical events were scheduled, among those, singing at the reception in the Auditorium in November, the dedication concert in De- cember, the Aeolian Banquet and graduation exercises in January, the latter being with the Girls ' Lyric Club, as is traditional in the school. Social events included the combined Lyric-Aeolian Barn Dance (ac- knowledged to surpass all previous parties, and the outstanding success of the school year, the Aeolian Banquet, this being easilv the social high- light of anyone ' s school career, and a beautiful installation ceremony in January. Those responsible for the success of the club are; Bob Pruett, presi- dent; Laurie Larsen, vice president; Maurice Derschied, secretary; Oren Waite, treasurer; John Schmeitcr. historian; George Weller. librarian; Sam Sebby, publicity manager, and Miss Elizabeth Mottcm, who is the musical director of this fine group of Manual students. BOYS ' JUNIOR GLEE CLUB A very enterprising group of boys has met daily in the new auditor- ium building, taking interested part in all the school activities. The un- derlying principle of the organization is the developing of voices, music- ianship, and enjoying the fellowship of singing together in daily contact. The fiftv members are representatives of the entire life of the school and as one of their big accomplishments during the term, they organ- ized and presented a very notable float in the annual vehicle parade, before home-coming day. A Christmas stag party was held, at which the exchange of gifts, stunts, and refreshments were the order of the day. The officers for this very successful term are Jack Scapa, president; Bob Magnante, vice president; Louis Dragna, secretary-treasurer; Milby Marling and Jack Denny, librarians, and Miss Mottern, director and sponsor of the group. ,S(, THE ARTISAN W ' ;8 GIRLS ' JR. GLEE BOYS ' JR. GLEE M.A.H.S. BAND DRAMA AND MUSIC 187 SENIOR ORCHESTRA Combining the two orchestras for the first time this year, the little Symphony and the Senior Orchestra have undertaken a more elaborate program than usual. ' 1 ' hev have rendered not classical but also ultra- modern music this term. This has created a greater interest, not only among the members of the orchestra, but also among the listeners. Rehearsals have been held under more favorable conditions than pre- viously, as the new auditorium has been used for this purpose. The ad- dition of a new Hammond organ afforded a rare opportunity of study for students, and made the program more outstanding. Furnishing music for assemblies and graduation have been the out- standing accomplishments of the group, under the guidance of William T. Killgrovc, director. The officers arc Roy Billings, president; Glendora Caldcrwood, vice-president; Jcancttc DeMoulin, secretary; Clay Franklin, treasurer THE GIRLS ' JUNIOR GLEE CLUB The Girls ' Junior Glee Club is an organization that exists for the sheer joy of singing. It meets the fourth period in bungalow fourteen and devotes its interests to singing part music and learning how to read from sight. Wherever it can assist in school activities, it does so, and this semester took part in the music festival in December. Its membership varies but at present there are fifty girls from all grades. Its officers are Jean Grayson, president; Kathcrine Webb, secretary; Eleanor Cobb and Shirley Fricdland, librarians. Emma Sarfield is the accompanist, and Mrs. Madsen, the sponsor. FLAYERS ' COMPANY Manual Arts ' Thespians, the Players ' Company, sponsored by Miss Mae Edwards, held its election at the first meeting of the term. Those chosen to guide the club activities were: James Randall president; Martha Futrell, vice-president; and Ardcle Wysuph, secretary-treasurer. Due to out of school activities James Randall later resigned and Bob Mack was elected to succed him. On November 5 the company chose Beauty and the Jacobin as the first play of the term. After long and strenuous rehearsals, the play was presented Wednesday, December 1 in the new Audiorium. As the semester drew to a close, the company made plans for the coming term and with a discussion of club pins and elections of officers for next semester, the W38 term was brought to a close. 188 THE ARTISAN W 38 GIRLS ' LYRIC CLUB Girls of Manual Arts! Can you answer the following questions? Read them carefully. If you have been keeping vour eves and ears open and reading the Daily you will probablv know the answers. However the solution can be found in two very important words later on in this article. Where do you meet some of the liveliest, friendliest girls in Manual? Where can you hear lovely voices and fine songs during period four? If you love to sing, where can vou find others who like it, too? What group is it that sings on so many programs both in school and outside? What club is it that wears the roval blue sweater with blue and white emblem? Now if vou don ' t already know the two words which can answer these questions, think about the clever float in the Rally Parade which had the blue singing birds teaching Poly our songs! And did you read about that riot of fun— the barn dance in the gym? Or perhaps you re- member the grand-looking bunch of girls who sang for the Girls ' League assemblies. Well, the answer is Lvric Club. one of the most popular clubs at Manual, a club which has for its motto friendship and school service, good times and good music. The girls of the Lyric Club are always doing something interesting. The float and assembly programs show their active participation in school affairs. Their part in the Teachers ' Institute program and in the Music Festival dedicating our new auditorium shows their keen interest in community projects and their desire to bring the best in music to our friends and neighbors. The girls believe in being sociable, too. and thoroughly enjoy the Get Acquainted lunch and program for the new members, the semi- annual party with the Bovs ' Aeolian Club, the Christmas party, and the Mothers ' Tea at which the girls entertain their mothers with dainty- refreshments and a beautiful program. At the close of every semester comes the impressive installation ceremony. Here farewells are said to the graduating Senior Ayes, and the new officers are welcomed. The club is proud, too, of its long list of illustrious alumni, and these former members are greeted with a program on Home-Coming Day in the club room. The efficient officers of the club this term have been Bettv Schwankovsky, president; Janice Beavon, vice-president; Laura Llano, treasurer; Grace Niven, secretary and Adelaide Davis, student adviser. Clara Silvers is accompanist, and Miss Ina M. Davids musical director and club sponsor. DRAMA AND MUSIC 189 R. O. T. C. BAND Although burdened by the responsibility of several executive duties, our very active and capable class president, Roy Billings, has successfully completed an important marching and music producing ability. The band is an essential part of the R.O.T.C. weekly parade, inspring the battalion to perform in its best military fashion. Its ability has found the band a place in many public programs, the most important being the Armistice day parade in November, in which the band was invited to lead the Third Division. The handicap produced bv a few rather inexperienced members at the beginning of the term was readily overcome by Mr. Killgrove who assisted Roy in improving the band ' s music, and First Lieutenant Ray Roberts, who assisted Rov in the band. VOCAL CLUB A very interested group of vocally minded students meet each ac- tivity period to hear the world ' s greatest and finest singers. With the ever-increasing interest of the world falling around the inspiration always coming from grand opera, it has been decided to spend all our available time in opera readings and recorded illustrations of the stories chosen, sung to us by the most illustrious singers of the past and present. All who enjoy this type of music are welcome to join our group. The officers included Jenncss Telford, president; Gerrie McGuire, secretary-treasurer; and Miss Mottern, sponsor, who arranges and plans these delightful meetings. 190 THE ARTISAN W 38 VOCAL CLUB [USIC CLUB MUSIC CLUB Music Club is an organization for music lovers who put into practice their club ' s motto, namely, Good Fellowship through Music. The purpose of the club is to provide opportunity for hearing modern music, much of which expresses phases of contemporary life as in Sky- scrapers, The Age of Steel. Pacific 231, Porgy and Bess, etc. Membership in the club is open to anyone who has the ability to listen to such music with interest and open mindedness. and one may do that without being a music student or attending any of the music courses. Miss Lenore Snow is the sponsor; Mrs. Laidlaw, commentator; Clay Franklin, president; Gladys Stillwell, vice-president; and Lowell Fov, secretary. DRAMA AND MUSIC 191 BEAUTY AND THE JACOBIN Cast Louis Willard Johnson F.loise Virginia Watson Valson Edward Trevins Anne udrey Hawkins Dossinnille - Henry Raiton Mob Members of Players ' Company Directed by Florence Kinsey The Players ' Company of this semester lias to its credit a fine presentation of this well-known story of the French Revolution. Beautv and the Jacobin was chosen by the company because it presented such opportunity for true drama, costuming and mob sound effects. Three assemblies were needed in order that the entire student body might witness this production. i 9 2 THE ARTISAN W 38 FEATURES Bv Dorothy Hepburn The main events of a period, called features, are outstanding and significant. Under the sign of Sagittarius, we find the symbolic archer— the archer, who stands for true aim and swift shooting. A more appropriate figure could not be found to coincide with the idea of features of a school semester. The archer denotes hatred of secrets; featured events are certainly far from being hidden. Very often they are too well publicized as is evidenced in the tendencv of the archer to be too quick to act. decide, and speak. Events and persons influenced by Sagittarius usually have one thought and idea at at time and like to carry out their plan to its con- clusion before deciding on future happenings. Publicitv is sometimes made in the form of prophecy and in such occasions makes use of advertising schemes. This sign denotes a fondness for prophecy. Sagittarius the archer shoots high and true in his choice of targets. The featured articles and events which are included here are those selected as outstanding in our semester. fixrws. 94 THE ARTISAN V ' 38 THE EPHEBIANS OF W ' 38 Bv Eileen Brown In ancient Greece, the pride of Athens was the honorary organization of her finest young men, known as Ephebians The Los Angeles City Ephebian Society is made up of members of the graduating classes of all high schools. Those whose scholarship, character, and leadership are notably high are chosen each semester by the graduating class and faculty. To be elected to this society is the high- est honor that can be conferred upon any high school graduate. The ten Cardinal Ephebians of W ' 38 are as follows: Vera Ackerman, with all her vivacity gave a valuable service to the school. She was a member of the Tri-Y and was secretary of her Senior Bee and Senior Aye classes and secretary of the Diaconian Society. Roy Billings was known for his military ability. He was president of the Senior Aye class and of the Manual Knights. He was also a member of the Daily Staff. Mary Baber was known by all students as scholarship president. Her scholarship activities earned for her a C.S.F. membership. She also was an active member of the G.A.A. and a Diaconian. Bob Christenscn was one of the outstanding figures at Manual as presiden t of the student body. He was president of his Senior Bee class and secretary of the Manual Knights. FEATURES 195 Lucy Lee was very active in Girls ' League work, being elected president in her senior year. Lucy was also a member of the Tri-Y and a Diaconian. Tom Ham participated in athletics as well as scholarship activities, being a member of the cross countrv team. Me also served as boys ' vice president of the student bodv and was a Knight. Betty Schwankovsky gave a profitable service to the school. She was president of the Girls ' Lyric Club and an active Diaconian member. William Pcnprase was in the R.O.T.C. for three vears. finally achieving the high ranking position of cadet major. He was active in school affairs and a Manual Knight. Phyllis Stimpson entered Manual Arts with an excellent record behind her and continued it throughout her three vears at Manual. She was girls ' vice president of the student bodv in her Senior vear. Also a member of the G.A.A. and a Diaconian. Shozo Saito, with his remarkable ability as a commercial student and scholastic ability, was elected student body manager. He was very active in athletics and a Manual Knight. AS AN EPHEBIAN We will never bring disgrace to this our city, by any act ot dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever desert our suffering comrades in the ranks; we will tight tor the ideals and sacred tilings of the city, both alone and with many; we will revere and obey the city ' s Jaws and do our best to incite a like respect in those above us, who are prone to annual or set them at naught; we will strive unceasingly to quicken the public sense of duty. Thus in all these ways, we will transmit this city not only not less but far greater and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us. 196 THE ARTISAN W 38 DOUGHBOY ' S VACATION By Douglas Moore Johnnie North, being quite an aggresive lad. one day, after consider- able deliberation, decided that he would attend the Citizens ' Military Training Camp during the month of July, whereupon, he set out to obtain for himself an application blank. After contacting a friend of a friend of a friend, he managed to acquire said blank. But, alas, poor Johnnie ' s high expectations were duly disturbed when he discovered he must submit to a complete physical examination besides being shot several times for the prevention of certain contagious diseases before he could attend camp. Under the kind hand of the family doctor, however, Johnnie survived the first hardship. Now came the transportation problem. On tins point, Johnnie was fortunate. His friend Jim Jones, who owned a descript bit of debris on four wheels, was also going to camp, and for three dollars and fifty cents he would take Johnie. At 4:00 a.m., on the balmy morning of July the first, two alarm clocks could have been heard, and indeed were heard, by two tossing ex- pectant heads. At 5:00 a.m., a clatter and a bang much worse than that of the clocks, sounded the beginning of a long and tiresome journey up to Mon- terey. At 5:00 p.m., the same day. pounding out its plantive plea for pity, Jim ' s pensive perambulator poked its wav up the Presidio hill to the en- rollment office. Jimmy and John, assigned to Co. G of the infantry division, arrived just in time for supper. Leaving the mess hall, they were scut to the supply tent and had some bedding tossed to them to tide them over for the night. Since night was rapidly closing in along with a penetrating Monterey fog, they lost no time in setting up their cots in an empty tent. The rest of the evening was spent in becoming acquainted with the layout about them. After breakfast, next day, in the chill morning air, they were handed each a heavy army overcoat and instructed to put on the coat, the whole coat, and nothing but the coat, after which our friends were required to undergo another general inspection to check up on their previous exam- inations. This completed, thev were issued uniforms. Excitedly returning to their tent, they tried them on, especially John, who tried very hard and who was eventually forced to parade the company street seeking ex- changes with other boys in his same condition till he found his fit. FEATURES 197 Soon the company was reorganized, permanent tent assignments were made, a regular daily schedule was enforced, and the camp adjusted itself to the daily pace. The boys were required to rise at six, wash, dress, and have breakfast, after which they cleaned up their tents and made their beds in prepara- tion for their daily inspection. At seven thirty, thev left for parade ground to drill and receive instructions in military science and tactics, returning at eleven-thirty to prepare for lunch at twelve. After lunch sick call was sounded with verv little response from the healthy he men comprising the camp. An hour ' s athletics followed, during which every man was required to participate in some sport. After athletics, another hour was spent polish- ing uniforms and rifles in preparation for regimental parade at 4:00 p.m. The last and most pleasant duty of the day was eating supper, which the cooks dished out till everv one had their fill. The rest of the eve- ning was free until nine thirty at which time the camp was required to re- tire. After taps at ten, an inspector investigated to be sure that evcrvone was in bed, and woe be unto him who was not. On Sunday, however, the whole day was free except for an hour of church in the morning. On Sunday, also, they received their best meals which matched in quality and far exceeded in quantitv the meals they received at home. Having successfully completed the first and hardest week of camp, Jimmy and John soon found themselves enjoying their unique life. Then came the great day. That day which all boys had antici- pated for so long was now at hand. All past complaints were forgotten as they fell in line to receive their pay, the money which Uncle Sam gave them to come to camp and learn to be a fine citizen and a good soldier. Receiving evervthing from twenty-five cents to twenty-five dollars, the bovs paid off all their debts, returned all their borrowed cigarettes, bought a new tube of tooth paste, and sent the rest home to the folks for safe keeping. Thev still had another payment due to them, however, on which thev could go home. One morning as a break in the regular service four hour drill rou- tine, the boys were issued regular service gas masks and given instructions on how to handle them. They then marched out to a little frame shack awav from the camp, where they received a lecture on the history and present use of various gases both in war time and peace time. 198 THE ARTISAN W ' 38 After the lecture they were instructed to don their masks and walk through the shack which contained a concentrated tear gas mixture. In- side, they found that their masks afforded complete protection against the gas. To prove the presence of a gas, the instructor had them remove their masks inside the shack and then make straight for the door. Imme- diately upon removing their masks, stingy, watery eyes and irritated noses impelled them to obey hastily their instructor ' s orders. Not long after this, the days began getting noisier as the Field Ar- tillery, the Coast Artillery, the machine gun companies, and the rifle com- panies began target practice with their respective implements of war. Every member of the camp had fired before it was over, and many a rifle- man boasted a sore shoulder and a swollen cheek. Another day the bovs set out on a six mile hike to Watkin ' s Gate and back, returning this time with sore feet. At first, Johnnie considered himself lucky on this day since he had been assigned to kitchen police duty, and did not have to go on the hike. However, he later changed his mind after washing dishes, scrubbing floors, and peeling potatoes all day. With three weeks of hardened camp life behind them, fimmv and John began to anticipate the end of camp when they could take the car which had been held in dead storage during camp, return home and loaf a little for a change. One more important event remained; namely, Visitors ' Day, when all the proud parents and sweethearts if any came to see their bux- om boys perform and learn what they had accomplished in their month ' s stay. On the last day. the camp rose at 4:30 a.m., checked in their equip- ment, received their final pay and their certificate of completion, and left for home. Leaving, camp the boys realized that they had led a hard disciplined military life during the past month, which may not have been the most enjoyable, but was probably the most profitable month they could have spent. FE ATURES lc)9 A TRIP EAST WITH MISS SPRENGER The civics and American social studies classes had their horizons broadened when their teacher. Miss Sprenger, left them to go to Wash- ington, D. C, on her va to the National Council of Teachers of English from November 10 to December 1. While in Washington Miss Sprenger visited the famous Whispering Gallery m the Capitol and also listened to the filbustering going on. She- saw the statues, representing the state of California, of Juanipero Sierra and Thomas Starr King, also in the Capitol. She went to the Supreme Court and saw the seven solemn judges file in and take their places, pro nounce their decisions for the dav and then depart. In the Congressional Library, Miss Sprenger saw a marvelous exhibit commemorating the one hundred and fifieth anniversarv of the writing of the constitution. She ventured into the offices of one of the represen- tatives and saw the physical setting for the play Both Your Houses, which her classes read. After such a day of wonderful experiences, Miss Sprenger wrote a letter back to the class immediately. At the National Council meeting, which was held in Buffalo, Manual Arts was represented at the discussion of Motion Pictures, Radio, and Newspapers, with the description of films made here at school. At another meeting, the work of several Manual Arts teachers in teaching English classes for institute this fall was described. Miss Sprenger gave a talk describing the Organization and Activities of Southern California Association of Teachers of English. She told how the membership has grown from 86 members in 1934 t° 3°° m 1 937- The attendance for the first fall meeting in 1934 was 1QO an rose to 750 in 937- She also described the regional activities, the publication, and the basic assumptions of the association. The historv of America came to life on the return trip, when she visited Fort Niagara, saw the old French Castle that housed soldiers during three wars, the French and Indian, the Revolution, and the war of 1812. It was also the scene of the book, Drums Along the Mohawk. The greatest contrast of the trip was in the travel. The greatest thrill was traveling through the states covered with glistening white snow and running into a snow storm that banked up all sides of the train. She spent a white Thanksgiving in Buffalo and Niagara Falls. As she slid over the slipperv streets of Chicago on a Sunday evening, she began to wonder if she would get back to Los Angeles in one piece. 2 oo THE ARTISAN W 38 THE ARTISTS Frontispiece Opal Horton In Memoria x Carmen Parker Organizations Sam Sebby Seniors ....

PRESIDENT By Roy Billings As the end of the term draws near, it is apparent that some students should be better acquainted with the fine work of Bob Christensen. Whitey came here from Foshay where he was student body presi- dent. While at Manual he has been seen working hard for a basketball letter. He served as senior bee president and is a prominent member of the merit and character citizenship boards. He is one of the few two term Knights and is secretary of that organization. Always having a smile for everyone he has been a very popular leader. He has never appeared stuck up and will long be remembered as a good sport and friend. Ask anyone what he or she thinks of Bob and the answer will always be swell. In view of his inspiring and fine work, it gives me great pleasure to pay this tribute to him. Doing everything he has attempted well, I say Hats off to Robert Christensen, Student Body President. :o2 THE ARTISAN W 38 REINCARNATION By Dorothy I Iepburn I saw a bird Once circle up Into a blaze of sunset.

SINGING WINDS Oh Winds that sigh, please stop for tonight I ' d rather you howled with fury and might I ' d rather you shrieked through some tall sombre tree. But your whispering sighs will break the heart of me Oh sing a song of gladness, for your sighs bring no relief To a heart so filled with sadness, a soul so filled with grief. Or sing a song of hate and then let me hate too And member my aching, as I blend my voice with you. But winds if you must sigh, then choose some stormy night. And I ' ll bow my head in blackness all safe from mortal sight. My sobs shall blend with your sighs and chant a minor strain. My heart shall beat with thunder, my teardrops fall with ram.

One day, as Garbella sat there Simple and fair There came a young man Waving his hand From an old junk cart Garbella watched him pass every day And everv time he would drive on away But now he stopped And out he hopped And came to Garbella ' s feet And begged her to go out and eat. Garbella smiled and said, Nodding her fair head, Oh, my dear heart, certainly I shall be thrilled to go with thee. Garbella ' s sisters scorned at her The minute she entered the unlocked door They said that no one but a rag man Would choose a girl from the garbage can. But what mattered such When there was so much In that young one ' s mind? 2i 4 THE ARTISAN W38 Her sisters were blind To the truths of the earth And the love it had given birth. Garbella was happy the next day The night before they planned to run away And get married without delay. What would her sisters say? Thought Garbella as she mopped the floor Then came a violent knock at the door It was Garbella ' s sisters ' friend A tall, strong man and a villainous one With an air of offense and much pretense. He must have lived in a world of horror Thought Garbella as she opened the door. She dressed herself, and before Her sisters knew it, she had gone out the door. She ran fast as she could Through meadow and wood Till she came to where her lover stood. So far, fate had been good. They mounted a horse and rode away And were peacefully married that day. Meanwhile her sisters found she was gone Thev searched for a trace of her and found none. Her mother shed tears Her father was sad And a little bit mad In anxious fears How her sisters did gloat Over the missing girl ' s note. Now she would bother them no more Then thev thought of mopping the floor How thev hated to work To wash dish, knife and fork Their plight was sad anyhow And the thought made it worse now. Each decided to marry the villainous one Thev would have quarrelled to a terrible end Had not another came along And righted a sad wrong. He was the bosom friend Of the villainous one. ADS AND HUMOR 21 I Introduced by chance At a swanky dance To which the girls had gone And he asked Martha the younger sister for one. They made a perfect pair So the family feud was settled there. Gentlemen shall be gentlemen ever Brutes will be brutes and gentlemen never The two girls had married deceitful men Who would not fail to deceive again. One was a brute, the other a beast Now they were married Now they must work in tears Because each had her fears Of a cruel, relentless man With an angry look on his face (pan ) . Who might heartlessly beat her And who would prefer That to the horrible work That made them shirk. About that time Garbella came Now she bore her charming husband ' s name She kissed her father and mother And then she kissed her small brother Garbella ' s mother was delighted to sec her And Garbella was glad to be there Garbella ' s husband stood there all the while And on his face was a happy smile, By the smile you could tell That he liked Garbella. and her folks as well 2l6 THE ARTISAN W ' 38 INDEX Frontispiece ....

I understand these pages should contain the appreciative formalities and courteous apologies for this book, but I want them also to contain a somewhat condensed picture of what went on behind the scenes for those interested enough to read these lines. To my unsurprised advisers I present gratitude. Every editor must admit how ignorant he is of the actual work of editing but I have even more to admit, having been barred from the studies of printing and linotyping. Therefore, my thanks are probably more sincere than many a recent editor ' s when I give them to Mr. Greenup, Mr. Hansen, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Reedcr, and Mr. Woods. We mention, too, Mr. Cagle, photographer for the Senior pictures. Their cooperation and courtesy has been surpassed onlv bv their willingness to explain the many unknown phases of work to the staff and myself. 218 THE ARTISAN W 38 Bill Engeln, as assistant editor, has aided immeasurably in the produc- tion of this volume and has proved himself capable of every task required of him. Indeed, sometimes we wondered if Billv ever said anything but yes and it ' s finished, so well did he follow the pace of the office and printshop. As art editor, Gloria Parker did a grand job. If you don ' t believe it, take a look at some of those plates and the endsheets. But her help did not stop at the artistic end; she cheerfully helped us out many times when write-ups and material were needed. We can truthfully say that Gloria spent many sleepless nights as we did wondering what the Artisan would look like by the end of the term! And if you haven ' t noticed the lettering, you had better turn back right now for a look. It is due to Art Ilorton and we feel he has done really a fine job. We have our Bad News Department, too, but we arc more than fortunate to be able to report complete reparation of the numerous un- avoidable mistakes. Certain people will remember, for instance, the time when it was discovered that the Drama and Music plate had gone to the engravers sans printing. And that other time when the editor herself innocently brought a storm of disappointment thundering about the head of the art editor by mentioning that the Organization plate had been printed in green instead of yellow. It was later discovered bv said art editor that ye editor had made a slight mistake and all was quite as it should have been. Then there were, of course, certain things that really were left out. The treasurer of the Girls ' League Cabinet, Doris Carlson, for example, to whom we can do nothing more than extend our sincerest regrets. Other things are missing, too. Did you know that the Cardinal Class motto is Lo yalty to ideals ? Or that the class veil is: Gr — r — r — rah! C— A-R-D-I-N-A-L— S! C— A-R-D— I-N-A-L—S! C-A-R— D-I— N-A— L-S! CARDINALS CARDINALS C— A— R— D— I— N— A— L— S! The yell was unwittingly sent to the printshop too late to be in- cluded at the proper point. Janet Gregory, our financial manager, gave us a turn when we heard she was directing the collection of ads from a hospital bed. What, we wondered, would happen next? But during the manager ' s absence, Man De Bruler efficiently carried out orders and to both the official a X III K WINDUP and unofficial managers, we say again, thank you. Incidentally, Don Chavez was responsible for the fine job of setting and making up of the advertisments. School life was quite a problem to lean Hall when she disc overed that a page at least had to be cut out of the original manuscript. The gathering of snapshots for her section was ably carried out and a choice selection made. Good work, Jean! Our secretary, Gloria Johnson, carried out directions and typed for hours as well as ran innumerable errands, and deserves as much credit as a section editor. I Iistorian Jean Wright made us feel a bit guilty when she turned her work in so promptly and our opinion of her went even higher when we found it needed no rewriting. All those Daily stories on Artisan progress were handled by Barbara Bitticks, who plagued us with the endless query, How about a story? We ' re glad you did, Barbara, even though you interrupted our most busy moments. Bert Johnson, photographer, did himself proud when he turned out all those countless pictures at practically the specified second. We sus- pect that Mr. Woods helped a bit in that matter, too. Have you ever tried to find good, unused jokes? Lcona Ernst did and we hope you haven ' t heard them before because we haven ' t. As sports editor, Nick Condos takes the prize for neat, efficient work, well-written and organized. Though we did have a mite of trouble on trving to decide on that position we ' ve never regretted our choice. Nickv told us that Al Ellis, Ike Israel, Franklin Johnson, Bob Nelson and Kuni Scki were those who made it possible. Those fine action pho- tos of games were taken by Jack Snvder and Bert Johnson. As for the unofficial staff. Douglas Moore had the job of worrying over the military section and filled our need as technical adviser on army affairs. ' Poor Prewctt, better know as Shirley, arranged for the write-ups and lavouts of the Drama and Music section and helped between times in all sorts of ways. To the shadowless Two. Sam Sebbv and Bill Gahill, who provide each other ' s shadow, not only I, but several other members of the staff owe our thanks for encouraging nonsense in time of despair and for some rcallv good ideas on publicity as well as various contributions. That completes our quota of thanks (and wc hope we left no one out); to all of you who did research and club write-ups. to the printers and binders, to all who ai ' ded and abetted in making this Cardinal Arti- san a succ s, we o fer ourj umbjc gratitude and heart-felt appreciation. c t 4 FINIS THE ARTISAN V ' 38 ' . Bvi Gloria Parker N v A is wrong. There is no end, only the beginning of something feater than anything known before . F| r those who see, there is never finish, but for those who stop and say, It is done, then the end has ciime for them. Just so, Aquarius is not th last sign of the Zodiac because a circle or cycle has no end. Nothing in Life has an abrupt ending but blends or merges into . something different. The seasons do not top suddenly. It cannot be said that today is spring, tomorrow is summer. Instead, there is the gradual change of spring growing into summer and then summer l tsfffffl. jJ Then winter comes_the last of the year. Suddenly one realizes Jhat thcrevs no more winter but it is spring again. One grew out of the other. So, is all life. Through all this cvcle it is symbolic that Aquarius pours $he water of Life upon the pools of Immortality, to grow larger in ever widening whirls and eventually engulf all mankind in the jeweled waters of Eternity.
