The Roman youth looked to Caesar for inspiration, as the ability to conquer in battle was at that time a success unequaled. As civilization progressed we find the youth of Germany attempting to follow in the footsteps of Kant. Nietz- sche, and Wagner, while in France and Spain young people idolized Rembrandt, Molicre, and Dumas. In the modern generation American youth holds as its guiding light such men as Lincoln, Whitticr, and Gersh- win. Therefore it is not strange that this class has chosen to carry as its torch the Highlanders of old. For the Highlanders were the personifica- tion of a people, accustomed to hardships, prepared to fight for the right to live as they chose, and determined above all to win. Today as we look at the world-wide chaos into which this graduating class of 1030 is being thrust no better example to follow can be found than of the Highlanders. For this youth also has countless hardships to face, they must be prepared and willing to fight for their ideals, and they must hold their courage. fust as this book carries the unmistakable Scottish theme, an em- bodiment of all the lofty ideals of humanity— love, honor, wisdom, and faith, so dies the senior class of Winter ' q hope to earn with it the same aspirations to make them proud, brave citizens in a chaotic generation. io THE ARTISAN W ' 39 IN MEMORIA By Grayce Van Tress We stand for what we are God gave us our level on Earth To enrich our souls, our life, As mind allows.

The colorful kilts and tartans, the skirling bagpipes, the ancient games and dances enliven the scenes of the great national occasion. In the center of a large out-door arena are the champions assembled from all parts of the country. Surrounding them arc the thousands of spectators, royalty, and tourists. To the strange lively music of the bagpipes are performed the high- land dance contests where grace, strength and physical endurance are put to the test. The young women of Scotland stand prominent in this field. Interest is keen in the varied program of jumping, racing, tossing the caber, putting the shot and in the tug of war. The people have united in this festival the competitive spirit of sports and the pageantry of dance and song to help keep alive the ideals of the Scottish highlands. i 4 THE ARTISAN W 39 THE PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE To the Highlanders: A nation is not great because of its size or the number of people who live within its boundaries. It is great because of the courage and the char- acter of the people who populate its plains, its hills, and its valleys. There are many peoples in many lands who live in mountainous regions. These regions are usually populated bv brave and rugged people. The most noted of mountain people live in the mountainous regions of Scotland. The courage of these people, their love for their country, their hone :ty and sincerity, their integrity and their capacity to make sacrifices for those whom they love has epitomized the characteristics of mountain people so dramatically that the term Highlanders has come to common usage in designating the people of the Highlands of Scotland. The Winter Graduating Class of 1939 has much to live up to in the name they have chosen. Commencement will mean to them the begin- ning of an experience in living the like of which has not been available to any generation before them. The developments in the field of science, the achievements in the field of industry and the failure of mankind to keep step with these achievements in the field of human relations have brought our country and the world to a crisis which can only be met by courageous pioneering, bv daring experimentation, and by an unfaltering will to make the world a better place in which to live. It will require everything that is implied by the name which you have chosen to live successfully through your day and age. May I bring to you at this time the sympathy, the encouragement, and the best wishes of those whose jov has been your growth and your development during the three years you have been at Manual Arts High School. Floyd R. Ilonn. Mr. Flovd R. Honn, Principal i6 THE ARTISAN W ' 3 g PERSONAL HISTORY OF THE PRINCIPAL Floyd R. Ilonn was born in Artesia, Los Angeles County, California, the third in a family of nine children. At nine years of age Floyd and the three younger children accompanied their parents to China where the father was engaged in missionary work. Three other children were born after the trip to China. In Cheng-Chow and other cities in Honan for a period of six vears, this typically American family lived in an oriental house enclosed by a courtyard. It was a life totally different from that which they had known in America, but a life rich in interesting experien- ces. During most of this time, no other American or European family lived nearby and as a matter of course, the entire family learned to use the Chinese language. In these early boyhood days, Mr. Honn found life quite dull because of the limited types of activity. The Ilonn children had almost no oppor- tunities to attend school and were very rarelv permitted to leave the court- yard because of the danger of disease. However, the summer season afford- ed a welcome change, for at that time the family journeyed to the moun- tains where a great deal of liberty and freedom were enjoyed. Today Mr. Honn ' s favorite sport is one he first learned to enjoy in China. Here, hunting in the region of the Yellow River gave opportunity for a fascinat- ing pastime. The family ' s return to the States came at the outbreak of the Chinese Revolution in igio. In Los Angeles, our future principal entered a small denominational school now a part of Los Angeles Pacific College. After completing the high school and junior college courses in this city in 1917, he went to Greenville, Illinois, to attend Greenville College, majoring in social studies. Graduation came in 1921 and with it the urge to find a job. Then came the decisive event. A position in teaching was offered to him by a high school in Superior, Nebraska. FIc accepted and began teaching journalism, debating, and history. Thus, Mr. Honn launched himself on the career that was to lead him to the position of principal of Manual Arts. After teaching social studies in Memorial Junior High School at San Di- ego, he came to Huntington Park High School to teach science. Later he was made evening school principal at Huntington Park. During the next several years, while principal at the high school in South Gate, Mr. Honn was an active community worker and did a great deal for civic betterment, being instrumental in the acquiring and developing of an 86 acre public- park. Then came the promotion to the principalship of Roosevelt High School, where he was active in developing student organizations. This year of progress and improvement at Roosevelt High was followed by an assignment to his present position, that of principal of Manual Arts High School. ORGANIZATIONS l 7 To the Highlanders: Your ideal is courageous living. You are needed today, as never be- fore, to take a place in your social environment. Life to many has no mean- ing and no direction. You have been taught to express yourselves. Con- tinue your education through the experiences which you meet till you have a self worth expressing. Live up to the very best that is in you each dav. Go to a happier, more democratic wav of life. Jessie Ray Ilanna. THE ARTISAN W ' 39 BOYS - VICE PRINCIPAL The graduation of the Highlanders will result in a distinct loss to Manual Arts as there are many in the class who have contributed to the success of the school during the past three years. However the regret occasioned by their departure will be assuaged by the knowledge that they have established examples for others to em- ulate and the thought that their successes here portend greater accomp- lishments in later years. May I extend congratulations as we review their attainments and bid them farewell? W. Bruce Kirkpatrick ORGANIZATIONS 19 W. BRUCE KIRKPATRICK Y. Bruce Kirkpatrick was born in Wessington, South Dakota, and came to California as a boy when his parents moved in 1908. He attended South Pasadena and Hollywood High Schools, and after graduating from the latter, entered Occidental College. His collegiate career was interrupted when an opportunity came to go to China to teach, and after having spent approximately a year in the Orient, he returned to enlist in the army, as the World War was then in progress. However, the Armistice was signed before he saw active service and he returned to resume his collegiate studies. Graduating from Occidental in 1920, he began sen ice with the Los Angeles School System as a member of the staff of the Los Angeles High School. After four years and a half in that institution, he was assigned as registrar in Fairfax High School where he served for two and a half years. In 1927, he was promoted to the vice principalship of the new Eagle Rock High School, and in 1931, was transferred to Franklin where he served in the same capacity. After four and one half years there, he accepted an in- vitation to become vice principal of Manual Arts. He is married and is the father of two children, a boy eleven cars of age and a girl of six. 20 T HE ARTISAN W - 39 HIGH IN THE PERUVIAN ANDES By Jesse Rav Hanna Flying in a big Pan American Douglas DC 3 from Lima over deep canyons and rugged jutting foothills, between the mountains and the sea, watching the barren desert turn to green fields of cotton sugar cane, and grapes under the genius of American engineers and water works, we landed at Arcquipa. This oasis at 7000 feet lies in a bow-like depression surrounded by white topped mountains. Water from the glaciers flows in a deep river bed, through the town, making the lawns fresh and the eucalyptus and pepper trees green. It is a paradise to the homesick mining men and engineers when they come down from the barren heights and great valleys farther back in the Cordillera chain. From Arequipa we took a little train over the hill enroutc to Cuzco, the capital of the ancient Inca Empire. We travelled two days on this meter gauge R.R. through the wide, cold high valleys to the divide at Juliaca, 14000 feet. Along the way we watched the Indian woman tend- ing great flocks of sheep, llamas, and alpacas, with a few cattle mixed in. Sometimes the woman carried a baby in the shawl on her back, and sometimes at her signal a small barefoot boy or girl, sitting on a grass hummock would run swiftly to chase the llamas, feeding too near the rushing train. Always the women were spinning the raw wool into balls of yarn. They held the wool in loose strips around the left arm and drew it into thread by twisting between the third finger and thumb. The grow- ing ball of dirtv yarn dangled from a crude spindle at the right side. Now and again we saw the low, grass-thatched huts, some bunched to- gether and some alone on the wide plain, usually with a mudwalled corral for the animals at night. Across the valley at the foot of the mountain wall the ancient Inca road followed the contours up, clown, and around. Some- times we could see a llama pack-train loaded with ore, trotting along, sometimes a man on horseback, huddled into his black blanket, galloping swiftly, and sometimes, much to our amazement, a Ford truck. At Juliaca across the dusty square from the station we spent the night in a rather primitive inn. The stairway to the second floor sitting room and the floor of the room were covered with thick furry rugs made of the skins of llamas and alpacas. Some were black or white and others a soft tan color. The proprietor did his best to make us comfortable, though his English was as limited as our Spanish. The agua ealicnte for washing up came at once in tall enamel pitchers. There was no heat in the building so after a supper of boiled chicken, stewed fruit and coffee in the cold dining room on the inner court, we went upstairs again and crawled into our beds to keep warm and avoid altitude sickness, soroche. The next morning after a hot cup of hard boiled coffee we took our seats on the cold black leather of our rambling little train and were off clown another wide valley of a river running toward the Amazon. This val- lcv was the granary of the Incas. There were similar flocks and herds, but O R G A N I Z A T I O N S 21 i v « ' . FROM MISS HANNA ' S VISIT TO THE INCA TREASURE HOUSE. PERU 22 THE ARTISAN W 39 more signs of cultivation. As the valley narrowed, we could see on the steep hillsides, vellow patches of yellow broom, on the canyon sides, and a feathery leaved shrub growing along the tracks. To my surprise I discov- ered thev were scotch broom and our familar pepper tree. Evidently brought in by the Spaniards, these hardy plants had taken to the country. As we approached Cuzco, we saw more signs of Spanish haciendas with plantings of eucalyptus trees around the building;. It seldom rains and there is no native wood in these high barren valleys, so the people have solved their problem with the fast growing eucalyptus. Wherever it would grow, in short lines or small groves, it had been planted. Most of the trees were about four or five years old, so the idea is quite new. We rolled into Cuzco, the ancient Inca capital, after dark, and were conducted into the Farrocarril hotel right at the edge of the tracks, and outside the city proper. This was a substantial concrete building with large bedrooms on the second floor, but praises be, there was a bathroom attached with hot and cold running water. In the morning I looked out my window toward the gates of Cuzco. With a squatty native guide whose English had to be expanded largely with imagination, we walked up a broad brick-paved avenue and under the old arch into the native city. In the time of the Incas, Cuzco was a well- built walled and fortified city containing much in the way of treasure. The dream of the Spaniards was to conquer and possess this great wealth. On the foundation stones of the temple of the sun, the Spaniards have built a monastery and college. The great circular foundation stones, so large that nobody knows how thev could be placed in position and put together without mortar, can still be seen. The beautiful garden which was in the river bed below the wall was said to contain main statues and imitations of nature, flowers, and trees in gold and silver. A bit of the old wall is still there, but the beautiful garden is gone. We walked through steep, narrow streets where we could touch the walls on either side with our hands. One great wall surrounded a square that would cover about four of our city blocks. It is still in a good state of preservation. This wall surrounded the palaces of the princes. There is just one gateway in the outer wall, and under this can be seen some record carvings in the stone. This wall, too, is made of huge solid blocks of hewn stone, put together without evidence of mortar. The stones had been laid so carefully and the corners and edges set so beautifully that not even a knife blade could be forced between them. The Spanish have built places and Government buildings inside and on these ancient foundations. The Cathedral is built of great blocks of grey stone taken from ancient Inca Fortress. The Indians were forced to tear down their own works and build this great church for the Spaniards.

It is with a deep feeling of regret that I say farewell to the school in which 1 spent three of the happiest years of my life. The spirit and enthusiasm of our games will linger long in my mem- ory. Manual, it is my sincere desire to see our school rise to greater heights under the new leadership of Mr. Ilonn. Continue showing school spirit, cooperate with vour officers, and you may re;t assured that we shall all be proud of the Manual of the future. Words cannot express the feeling I have as I write this farewell to you, my friends and classmates. I wish you the best of luck and may we all be as fortunate in this large world we will enter, as we have been in attending our alma mater.

Make-up Editor THE ARTISAN W ' 5 o 35 SPECTATOR To give aspiring writers a chance to view their work in print and to encourage students in the writing of short stories, poems, essays, and plays, the Spectator was originated. It first became a recognized publication in 1926 but has since become a supplement to the Daily, and is printed as often as sufficient material has been received. Material turned into the Spectator is judged and chosen by a staff of students who arc chosen by proving their literary ability or knowledge. This term the Spectator was under the supervision of Gloria Lemon, editor-in-chief; Gravcc Van Tress, assistant editor; Robert Pignet, make- up editor; and Jacob Beck, art editor. The adviser is Mr. Walterhouse. The entire publication was under the guidance of Gloria Lemon. Gravce took care of the proof and copy-reading, and also had charge of rejections and rewrites of contributions. Robert had charge of the actual printing of the paper and Jacob made the linoleum blocks that appeared in the Spectator. 36 THE ARTISAN W ' g MANUAL KNIGHTS The Manual Knights, foremost bovs ' organization at Manual, is a service organization devoted to aiding the student bodv in the many prob- lems which may arise in a school of Manual ' s size. Direct contact is maintained at all times with the various administra- tive heads of the school in order to facilitate the supervision of school functions and to arrange the details for conducting assemblies. As part of their social functions, the Knights hold their introductory steak-bake at the beginning of each semester and a Knight-Diaconian party during the course of the term. Membership in the organization is obtained bv acquiring points through school activities, during one ' s high school career. A maximum of eighteen boys is admitted every term. The officers for the W ' 39 term included: Lido Di Sano, president, Warren Smith, vice-president; and George Lucas, secretary-treasurer. Other members were: Johnny Mayo, student-body president; George Wcller, Senior Ave class president; Earl Frieden, bovs ' judge; Bob Hcnrv, Senior Bee class president; Allan Brown, Daily editor; Clarence Coleman, A. B. S. president; Carl Kruger, cadet major; Coleman Jenkins, Senior Ave class treasurer; Jim Pitts, scholarship president; Henry Hill, boys ' self-gov- ernment president; Gerald Shodall, bovs ' vice president of student bodv; Frank McKibbins, bovs ' vice president of Senior Aye Class; Jim McMul- len, Toiler Club president; and Norman Jones, veil leader. Mr. Kirkpatrick is the sponsor of this organization of which practic- ally every school in Los Angeles has a chapter. T HE ARTISAN W 7 37 DIACONIAN SOCIETY Manual ' s Diaconian honor society is the most exclusive girls ' organi- zation at Manual Arts, and is the only club sponsored by the girls ' vice- principal, Miss Hanna. ' 1 ' hc primary purpose is to develop leadership, character, and main- tain school spirit through the action of the members. Membership of this honorary girls ' organization consists of those, who because of their leader- ship in various activities have become eligible to the society. The past term was the third that the girls had sweaters. These are long sleeved, grey slip-overs, with a purple stripe around the neck and a purple emblem. The membership for the term consisted of: Bonnie Jean Rydcll. girls ' vice president of the student body; Shirley Richards, student body sec- retary; Audrey Dyer, girls ' league president; Kav Henderson, girls ' self gov- ernment president; Margie Conti, girls ' judge; Jean Grayson, girls ' vice- president of the Senior Ave class; Louise Myers, president of the Tri-Y; Ruth Wolfskill, G.A.A. president; Barbara Woodward, Lyric Club presi- dent; Josephine Lee, Home Economic Club president; Catherine Tribblc, Euodia Club president; Betty Davis, girls ' vice-president of Senior Bee class; Ann McBride, secretary of the Senior Bee class; Margie Bond, sec- retary of girls ' league; Margie Hastings, ex-secretary of girls ' league; and Helen Sevier, ex-president of Eudoia Club. The Diaconians enjoyed a most successful and interesting term under the leadership of their officers; Jean Gravson, president; Mary Bcdrosian, vice-president; Barbara Woodward, secretary-treasurer; and Louise Myers, publicity chairman. THE ARTISAN W 39 SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY Under the efficient leadership of Jim Pitts, and with the invaluable advice of Miss Sprenger, the Mimerian Society has carried out outstand- ing school activities during the term. The scholarship for service chair- man, Don Richardson, on numerous occasions rendered aid to the stu- dents needing general improvement in their grades. The most important event for this term was scholarship week which was held from January 6 to January 12. During this week representatives were sent to Manual Arts from the eighteen city high schools comprising the Los Angeles Dictrict of the California Scholarship Federation. The famous Scholarship Prom was held on the evening of October 28 in the girls ' gym and was called the Spooks ' Shindig. The motif of Halloween was carried out in decorations, and entertainment. The host and hostess greeted many guests who acclaimed the dance a very success- ful affair. The highest scholastic honor a high school student can achieve is to be a gold seal graduate and a life member of the California Scholarship Fed- eration. This honor is attained by being a member of the Scholarship So- ciety four terms including one semester of the senior year. More than thir- ty members have reached this goal this term. The election of cabinet officers brought the following results: Jim Pitts, president; Josephine Lee, girls ' vice president; James Shelton, boys ' vice president; Antoinette Longo, secretary; and Coleman Jenkins, treas- urer. THE ARTISAN W ' 39 39 COURTS The bows and girls ' courts arc a branch of the self-government or- ganization and definite example of the democracy at Manual. The officers of the boys ' court this term were: Earl Frieden, judge; Milton Dobkin, chief prosecutor; Don Ferryman, assistant prosecutor; Bob Petty, chief defense attorney; Dave Thomas, clerk; Mladen Skoro, bailiff; and Jack Schram, Curtis Knutscn. and Bill Blurock, sergeant-at- arms.

The adviser is Mrs. M. D. Brown. 4° THE ARTISAN W 39 SENIOR FORUM Before two weeks of the new term were over, the Senior Forum cabinet made extensive plans for the semester and for the club try-outs which were held almost immediately. Only eighteen new students were admitted clue to the large number of active members left from the pre- vious term. President Earl Frieden, the first to serve the Forum for a second term, had the entire term ' s activities well organized. The first meeting was featured by the semi-annual Get-Acquainted Party. The highlights of the forensic program included the traditional Gag Session, the Junior-Senior Forum Debate, and the Declamation Contest. A Manual Arts debate tournament which was instigated last term was again put into practice, and with great success. Upon popular demand main economic, political, and social problems were discussed by the members during open forums. Earl Frieden was assisted this term by a splendid cabinet consisting of Don Perrvman, bovs ' vice-president; Gloria Lemon, girls ' vice-president; Rose Bine, secretary; Frank McKibben, treasurer; and Bob Petty, ser- gent-at-arms. Climaxing the term ' s activities was the banquet, a spectacular event. The extensive program which the Senior Forum was able to carry out was made possible by the constant assistance of the adviser, Mr. Moore. THE ART IS AN Y V JUNIOR FORUM The Junior Forum was organized so that lower grade students could have a chance to meet and discuss problems of the day. Membership is obtained by speaking extemporaneously for three minutes upon an as- signed subject. Try-outs are held at the beginning of each semester. During the term many open forums, debates, and panels were held. The most important of these forensic activities was the semi-annual Junior Senior Forum debate. At the first meeting of every term a Get-Acquainted Party is held and at the last meeting another large party is given at which the new officers arc installed. This term the officers included: Peter Iluyan. president; Oscar Zertuche, bovs ' vice; Audrey Nicholas, girls ' vice: and Audrey Hawkins, secretary. THE ARTISAN W 39 ATTENDANCE BOARD The boys ' tardy board was composed of: Frank McKibben, chairman; Bob Henry, Frank Jacobs, Pete Doomanis, Jack Taber, Mladen Skoro. Warren Smith, and Bob Sanfekler. The girls ' tardy board consisted of Helen Nelson, chairman, Mildred Coyle, Kathleen Noeske, Jeanettc Palmer, Alice Blanchard, Marian Mills, Dorothv Foster, and Phyllis Pinkney. THE MERIT BOARD The merit boards were organized in order to help those students having a large number of demerits, to maintain a better future record. The members of the bows ' board were: Louis Dragna, chairman; Bob Henry, vice chairman; Gerald Shodall, and Johnny Mayo. The girls ' board consisted of: Bonnie (can Rydell, chairman; Jean Grayson, Marion Mills. Antoinette Longo, Janice Mason, Betsy Myers, and Mildred Coyle. THE ARTISAN V 43 f 1 Br %t . m i ! | ail «« mi an. . - i f TRI-Y To face life squarely— to find and give the best— to serve others. By this motto the Tri-Y girls of Manual Arts and girls throughout the world, are led. The aim of Tri-Y is to create a higher and finer type of girl for Manual and to unite all girls in a closer spirit of friendship, thus helping to develop worthwhile character and personality. Girl Reserve clubs, bv which name the Tri-Y girls are also known, are sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. The club boasted of seventy-four members this term, most of whom were outstanding in school activities. They had many social events, splash parties and dinners being the most memorable. Officers this semester were: Louise Myers, president; Mary Alice Richardson, vice president; Jean Roith. secretary; and Bette I lam, treas- urer. Special mention is due Miss Swerdfcrgcr, faculty adviser, for her kind and helpful assistance, and to Miss Hanna for her cooperation with club activities. 44 THE ARTISAN W 39 CHARACTER-CITIZENSHIP BOARD The Character-Citizenship Board seeks record of each student who is cited by some teacher because of outstanding character traits displayed during three years at Manual. A student must receive a citation before he or she is eligible for con- sideration in his Senior Ave term. The board takes the list of Senior Ayes and after a careful examination is made, the most outstanding students receive a certificate with their diploma. The members of the board are chosen for their ability to determine the students who are outstanding in character. Miss Wiggs is the sponsor of the Character-Citizenship Board which for the past semester consisted of Lido Di Sano. Bob Henry, Jean Grayson, Johnnv Mayo, Bonnie Jean Rvdcll. Shirley Richards, Gerald Shodall, Mildred Covlc, and Margie Hastings. THE ARTISAN Wag r- THE DEBATE SQUAD This debate season was full of many surprises and innovations. Chief upset of the season occured when Manual, for the first time in five semesters, won a league debate. The fact that the opposing team was Bakersfield made any thought of victory seem ridiculous; however, captain Milton Dobkin and former captain Earl Fricdcn combined to topple the Bakersfield duo in decisive fashion. The question was, resolved, That the U.S. should adopt a policy of compulsory arbitration of all labor disputes. Milton and Earl upheld the negative. At the beginning of the semester the outlook was very dreary with a dearth of experienced debaters, but the will to work and win predom- inated and Manual was lifted out of the debate cellar. The day of the first league debate also set a record as four Manual teams gained victory on the same day. One of the innovations introduced was a debate plaque, by the Mil- ton Dobkins, which was donated by the present squad. It is called the Guy C. Moore Debate Award, in honor of the squad ' s friend and undispensable adviser. It will be given to one person each year for outstanding merit on the squad. As the Artisan went to press debaters were feverishly preparing for the Southern California Debate Tournament. Manual entered fourteen debaters, orators, dcclaimcrs, and extempore speakers. The question was, resolved, That the U.S. should enter into an alliance with Great Britain. The officers of this term were Milton Dobkin. captain, and Bob Petty. manager. 4 6 THE ARTISAN W ' 39 Girls ' Self Governmenl Ro s ' Self Government Council THE ARTISAN W ' 39 47 THE MANUAL ARTS FACULTY Floyd Roberts Honn, Principal William Bruce Kirkpatrick, Hoys ' Vice Principal; Jessie Ray Hanna.

The other clans are merely a part of these main clans, but at one time there were more. Only the fittest survived however, and the smaller clans sought protection from the larger clans and became known as septs. They retained their own name but adopted their mother clan ' s customs and ways. Each clan had its own area of land and was known by the chieftain ' s name. The clans came into possession of their land by gifts from the king as a reward of bravery or in payment of a debt. To regard the chief of one ' s clan with more respect than one ' s own father was the Highlander ' s bond. The chieftain ' s rule oyer his clan was absolute and unquestioned. His clans- men did not regard him as a feudal superior but to obey him without question and to die for him was the highest of privileges. He in turn re- garded them as children to whom he was to give protection. His eldest son was regarded in the same light, for some day he would be their chief- tain. If the son of the chieftain was too young to become ruler of the clan. a tanest or regent was appointed from the highest men of court. He was absolute ruler until the voung bov became of age and had satisfactorily proven that he was worthy of becoming their chieftain. He proved his worth by invading neighboring lands and bringing back all the cattle he could find grazing on the fields of his neighbors. He did this in the face of great danger for the neighboring clans were always prepared for such a visit. As a result of this, the feuds between neighboring clans were even fiercer than those between highlands and lowlands. The clan system of ruling was however by no means restricted to the Scottish Highlands, as there were clans of Elliots and Faas on the Borders and Romany clans wandering throughout the Isles. Although these and the Highland clans existed at the same time, the Highland clans were the most notable because of their practices and their undisturbed contin- uance long after the lowland clans had gone out of existence. The High- land clans, moreover, were favored by sheer geographical circumstances of glens, moors, mountains and islands. The tradition of birth was an important factor in internecine strife and the great clans were distinguished by family idiosyncrasies. The Erasers were born a subtle race, the MacDonalds were fighters and the MaOlnsca were gentlemen. And you remember the pride of face that dis- inguished Robert Louis Stevenson ' s Alen Breck in Kidnapped. I SENIORS sss sss? SSSSs 5 o THE ARTISAN W ' 39 SENIOR AYE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE As we approach the time when we must leave the school that has left such pleasant memories in our minds for the last three years we face an outside world of chaos and confusion. Perhaps there is a doubt in our minds as to what our future will be. Nothing, however, except success and happiness can confront us if we remember the spirit of determination and sportsmanship that has been ours throughout our high school career.

CLASS COLORS Dark green and white b y THE ARTISAN W 39 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF W ' 39 By Corinc Jones First day at high school! The crowning ambition of every junior high school graduate of this particular year was at long last realized with the advent of the anxiously anticipated clay in February 1936— the never-to- be forgotten day featuring the entrance of 432 eager freshmen to Manual Arts. Pouring in from such junior high schools as John Muir, Horace Mann, Audubon, John Adams and Foshay, there were groups of friends in the larger group of strangers. This day was typical of all Manual enroll- ment days with happy bustle and confusion reigning, but one set apart forever as marking the birth of a small but mighty class— Highlanders-to- be, the class of W ' 39. The class was indeed fortunate in entering Manual in this year, en- rolling just in time to sec the handsome new Art and Science buildings being put into use for the first time. After realizing the actual beginnings of their high school careers at Manual, the culmination of the first hectic weeks of life on the new campus found the newcomers making a gradual adjustment to new faces, new methods, and new conditions, all so sur- prisingly different from those experienced in previous years. The Winter ' 39 class was one which clung to the admirable idea of early making its influence felt in the various and sundry activities of the school. Jonny Mayo, yell leading in the An term, showed signs of that winning and characteristic brand of friendliness, pep. and enthusiasm which later was to earn ' him to the highly coveted office of student body president. Always in the forefront when speech making time came around could be found Earl Frieden, well known debater and declaimcr, later boys ' judge. The same story, with few variations, could be told when speaking of that dynamic fellow, George Wcller. Then too, Highlanders, true to their staunch Scottish namesakes. were not lacking in athletic prowess. The class of Winter ' 39 was proud of its outstanding football players. Bob Schmidt was a standout star in virtu- ally every game in which he took part, while Captain Don Wilier played heads up football throughout his three successive years on the varsity team. lime passed swiftly by, and almost before the event was fully realized, the An English examinations were over, and the last hurdle before the senior terms had been cleared. With the arrival of the long awaited Senior Bee term, the Class start- ed to organize in earnest. The final elections installed in office an able cabinet consisting of George Weller, president; Bonnie Jean Rydell and Jim McMullcn, the girls ' and boys ' vice-presidents respectively; Mary Bed- SENIORS 89 rosian, secretary; and Frank McKibben, treasurer. The name Highland ers ' was chosen as best typifying the class, while sweater colors of dark green and white were decided upon. Adclphic Day was the first big event. It was on this clay that the green clad Highlander proudly filed before the entire student bodv, thus to be officially recognized as Senior Bees. On this occasion, the High- landers put up a good fight, but it was not enough to stem the rushing Plainsman tide. Senior Day thus resulted in a Plainsman victory of 4 to 1 but even that set-back did not in any way dim the characteristic spirit of the losing class. The day of friendly rivalry was climaxed by a hop in the gym where the two classes mingled and danced as one. Featuring the hop was the singing of the Plainsman song by George Wcllcr, Senior Bee Prcxv, in token of the defeat of his class earlier in the day. The next event on the Highlander calendar was the class picnic at Centinella Park, which lasted lo, into the wee hours of dusk! Fun, food, and frolic were the order of the day. Among the various activities viewed and participated in by the cavorting Highlander; were the closely fought baseball and vollcv-baH games between boys and girls, the mirth-provoking pie-eating contest, and the highlight of the entire picnic— the twelve hula-hipped muscle men who comprised the Highlander Hawaiian Fol- lies! No bell or gong was needed to signify that the food was ready. Then, how hungry Highlanders did eat! The outstanding social event of the Senior Bee term was the High- lander Prom. This dance, held in the new girls ' gym with George Wcllcr and Bonnie Jean Rvdell as host and hostess, was acclaimed a great success by everyone present. The end of this first eventful term as seniors came with a rush as the Highlanders bade a sad adieu to the graduating Senior Ayes. However, by far the most vivid memory of the entire term was the leave-taking of Dr. Albert E. Wilson, beloved principal, leasing after guiding Manual since its first beginnings in 1909 in the little building on Olive Street. It seemed. indeed, as if a vital part of the school itself was missing, as Dr. Wilson was so decpiv rooted in the activities and traditions of the school. The last official act as Senior Bees, was to participate in the election of student body officers. After much campaigning and speechmaking. with the campus gaily adorned with candidates ' pictures and posters of all sorts, sizes and descriptions, the new cabinet was duly installed. Those elected to serve as the Student Body Cabinet were Johnny Mayo, student body president; Bonnie Jean Rydell and Jerry Shodall, the girls ' and boys ' vice- presidents; Shirley Richards, secretary; Bob Wallace, manager; Kay Hen- derson and Henry Hill became the two self-government heads; Margie Conte and Earl Frieden, girls ' and boys ' judges; Jim Pitts, scholarship president; Audrey Dver, Girls ' League president; Clarence Coleman, A.B. S. prcxy; Allan Brown, editor of the Daily; and Carl Kruger was the popu- 9 o THE ARTISAN W ;g lar choice for the officer of cadet major. Then without further ado, the class as a body put books and cares aside, and laid high hopes for a happy summer vacation. The Highlanders began their final term with characteristic spirit and enthusiasm. The entire school heartily approved of the new principal, Mr. Floyd R. Ilonn, and agreed that with his great liking for and inter- est in young people, he was tops in every way. When class election time rolled around, George Weller was again chosen to guide the fortunes of the class, being re-elected president. The other offices were filled by Jen Grayson, girls ' vice-president; Frank McKibben, boys ' vice-president; Man Bedrosian, secretary, Coleman Jenkins, treasurer, and Dick Smith, Artisan editor. Senior Aye Term Senior Day proved to be the most exciting and closely-contested battle in the history of Manual. The classes were so evenly matched in strength and skill that the finish of the competition found the score a deadlock, necessitating that another event be included in the program to break the tie. In the end, however, the Senior Ayes emerged victorious, triumphing to the tunc of 4 to 3. The next big class event took place when the Highlanders journeyed once more to Centinela Park for the Senior Aye picnic. The food and entertainment hit the usual high spot and under Mary Bcdrosian ' s super- vision, a grand and glorious time was had by all. The final social function of the vcar, the Senior Aye Ball, was held in the early part of January. The Highlanders were anxious to enjoy every minute of the fun, and the dance, held in the gaily-decorated gym, was an unprecedented success. The days sped swiftly by. Soon, all too soon, came the final exams, and in their wake busy preparations for graduation were excitedly launch- ed. In a verv short time the seniors were marching up the aisles of beautiful Bovard Auditorium with the realization heavy in their hearts that high-school days at Manual Arts were at last over. L istening at- tentively to the impressive commencement exercises, the faces of the graduates portrayed varying expressions of sadness, pride, exaltation and joy as the happy memories of the past and the bright hopes for the future passed vividly in their minds. Then, after the singing of Kipling ' s Re- cessional, came the soul-stirring finale— the swell of voices singing. as only the graduate can sing it, that haunting, unforgettable air, the Alma Mater. Thus, in this memorable manner and on this auspicious occasion, the doors of dear old Manual swung wide and the eager, questing mem- bers of the class of Winter ' 30. went forth to face an unknown future. SENIORS 9 1 CARLY HIGHLANDERS LENA 9 2 THE ARTISAN W 39 THE HIGHLANDER By M. Ulschoeffer A rugged land, vigorous climate and the lack of great mineral wealth have developed the hardv Highlander. The brawny Highlander is among the tallest people in the world, averaging from five feet eight inches to six feet in height. He inherits from his ancestors, the Lowlanders, his loyalty to country and clan, his frugality and his energy. The Highlander could endure any amount of hardship. His bed was made up of bundles of heather. And like a Spartan, the Highlander could march all day on only a mouthful of bread. His garment was the simplest yet the healthiest garment known. It consisted of a kilt wrapped around the body and held in place by a belt at the waist. It was first introduced to Scotland in 1098 by the ruler Mag- nus, after invading the Ilcrbrides in 1097, because it gave his men free- dom in battle and suited the rocky country of his people. At first the gar- ment was looked upon in ridicule, but eventually the entire country- adopted it, seeing its usefulness. The kilt then remained the national dress until about ten years ago. Then it was discarded for the newer fashions. But today on feast days and holidays the kilt will be worn by the Highlander. The kilt was perhaps the proudest possession of the Highlander. For in the colors of the plaid, he designated his rank. Eight colors meant ser- vice to the church, seven meant service to the king and the single color meant that he was a serf. Even today each clan is designated by its tartan. Although the wear- ing of the kilt is discontinued, a band is worn around the cap made from I lie clan tartan. The distinction between the Highlands and the Lowlands remains clear even in this twentieth century. The Highlander, descended from the clansmen of old, dweller in the barren countries of the west and north, remain to this day distinctive. In language, customs, and ideals, he differs from the modern Lowlandcr. Although modern developments in machine and commerce have spread throughout the rest of the country, the High- lander retains many of the old-time ideals. Modem to some extent in in- dustries and activities but never as modern as his Lowland neighbor. The few natural resources of the Highlands have made him fisherman, herds- man, and agriculturist. They would still be hunters if their surrounding mountains were not the sporting place of the idle rich. The Highlander of vestcrdav was perhaps picturesque and romantic, hut today he is practical and far seeing. Perhaps his yesterdays were spent in fishing and hunting, hut today his spare time is spent in furthering the advancement of civilization. The appearance and the customs of the Highlanders have changed the people remain the same, loyal and true to their ruler.

Mr. Smith, a house husband. Mr. Jones, dearest friend of Mr. Smith. Setting: In the comfortable living-room of the modest Smith resi- dence in the year 2000 A.D. At Rise: We discover Mrs. Smith, clad in the former attire of the male sex, deeply engrossed in the evening paper while reclining in an easy chair. Mr. Smith, on the other hand, wears one of the latest creations of the dressmaker ' s art. He is busy with his knitting. Mrs. Smith: Good Lord! Look at these headlines! New Labor Bill Passed By Senate And Goes To Lower House Tomorrow! Now that ' s a sweet business. You ' d think those women would have more sense than to pass on that hair-brained scheme. Well, those representatives are going to feel some pressure on this. Mr. Smith: All you think about is politics. Sometimes I think you care more about that than you do me. Mrs. Smith: Now Clarence, you know how much you mean to me. Say, that reminds me, I want you to telegraph our Congresswoman; also, urge your bov friends to do the same. Mr. Smith: Yes, dear. (Sighs) I have so much on my mind all the time. I don ' t see how I remember it all. Mrs. Smith: Write them down, then. Be a little more business-like. Mr. Smith: Yes, Helen.

I should think you could find time to read it then instead of waiting till I get home. Mr. Smith: I haven ' t had a moment to sit clown all day. Just cooking, and washing, and mending, and keeping track of the children. If you think it ' s so easy you stay home for a day. Mrs. Smith: After all, that ' s your job, isn ' t it? It ' s no fun either, go- ing out and fighting the world to cam a living to support the family. (Growls) You think you have it hard. Mr. Smith: Now darling, don ' t be cross.

(Sobs) STORY AND VERSE 97 MEMORIES OF SCHOOL HAYS IN ENGLAND By Bernard R. Watts It was with a bounding skp 1 climbed my way up the steep gravel hill leading to the old, brick building, of a private school for boys, well worn by time and the buffetings of wind and gales sweeping in from the North Sea. It was a small American boy ten years old who stood before the schol- arly headmaster. I can sec him now, smiling and shaking hands with me and much amused by my American accent and manner. Although trying to act par excellence in behavior I was literally bursting with curiosity. The scene changes and I was soon rewarded. Boys! said the headmaster. All chatter ceased immediately, we arc vcrv happy to welcome this boy (pats me on the head), who lias come all the wav from California. I trust you will be friendly and watch after him, that ' s all. And the door closed behind mc. The next monent is to be cherished forever— the expressions on the bovs ' faces were a sight to behold! All the way from America was too much to be brushed aside by these active young Britishers. The silence was broken. I lev, Yankee, (my nickname stuck immed- iately); have von seen John Dillinger? Al Capone? How manv hold-ups have you seen? Do you have a gun? Have you been ncn Hollywood? These questions and manv more were fired at me a la machine gun. Mingled with amusement and pride, I tried desperately to answer and please all (about one hundred and fifty boss), fearful of making first impressions bad ones. From then on, time moved rapidly and I soon found myself acting and thinking in a British manner. My American pride was somewhat humbled on finding as class- mates, bows still in the art of making faces at each other. Trying to find my grade level they put me in classes with boys twelve to eighteen months younger. However, I soon arrived at the conclusion. Competition in schol- astic attainments was alive everywhere. Some of the funniest moments we had were at meal times. Seated at the long tables in the dining room the boys laughed till it hurt as some of the chaps tricked the maids into bringing a second choice tidbit (against school rule). Breakfasts were always the same, week in and week out, but Wednes- day morning there was a decided hush in the dining room, because eggs were a weekly treat, and pity the poor boy who got a bad egg (he always broke the hush). The British cooks are connoisseurs in the art of hash making. The whole three years I attended school there, only on Sundav and holidays. 9 S THE ARTISAN W 39 was meat ever left in its much preferred state. The other six days they served hash, stews and more hash. In fact, the monotony of the food enticed most of the boys to trek down to the large cellar. Here lined row upon row stood the schoolboys ' most treasured possession. For in this tuck-box was packed a whole assortment of tarts, fruit, cakes jams and other appetizing goodies their thoughtful parents had sent them. Here is where one reallv begins to appreciate mother and dad! It is easy to understand why Napoleon called England a Nation of Shop Keepers, because the bartering of supplies around the tuck-boxes teaches the boys young. Dress formality is very essential to any British school boy because those without the latest and the best in clothing apparel well, he is just out of the picture. If any person hasn ' t experienced putting on an Eton collar for the first time thev have missed the greatest chance of their life to practice self control over speech, physical violence and blood pressure. My memory is still fresh as I see the boys in my dormitory rushing about in the damp, chilly morning air trying to get dressed. Invariably however someone yelled from his cubicle: Has anvbodv got an extra collar button? The answer is always in the negative. Well, get out the string, Dick. Here, hold still a minute, now slip the string through the white starched collar, now through the shirt and tie a knot. Now get your tie and cover up the string. How does it look, Dick? Fine. Come on, let ' s get down to breakfast, someone calls, and we leave the dormitory well satisfied and comfortable. If one is busy, years pass quickly at a boys ' school and soon one is confronted by the Matriculation Examination. Silent Terror , as some of the boys called it. This five dav exam is always taken in the sixth and last form. It is administered in one big dose the last week of school before the summer holidays. Unfortunately it is a gruelling test and the downfall of mam students. The exam itself comprises all that should have been learned during six to eight years at school. Preparation involves long tedious hours of diligent work. It was a common sight at that time of the school year to wake up at two or three in the morning and find Dick or lom crouched under the bed covers studying In the use of a flashlight. Every minute of the day is used in winking. Although the Matriculation demands hard work the dividends arc great. Entrance to Oxford or Cambridge awaits the survival of this examination. nd now, having shown a few highlights of life in an English school I nuisi (lose.

STORY AND VERSE 99 GIVEN PURCHASING A BOOK COVER By Wayne Warnken It was toward the end of lunch period and I decided to purchase a book cover at the Students ' Store. I was just a little dismayed when I saw the line of students ahead of me, but as I wasn ' t in any particular hurry, I took my place in line. When my turn came to be waited on, I was very surprised that they didn ' t bang the window down in my face, because the first bell had just rung, and that is what they usually do. But, as I said, it was my turn to be waited on. I never dreamed my requisition for a book cover would cause such a panic, but no sooner had I said it, when about three owlish faces peered down at me and simultaneously queried: A book cover? With that, all three persons disappeared and I never saw them again. Perhaps their dis- appearance should be investigated. By franticallv waving my hand I captured the attention of a sweet young thing with red fingernails who was trying very hard to show her young Romeo sitting in the back of the room how efficient she could be. Once again I asked for a book cover. She nodded briefly and immediately began opening cupboards, presumably looking for them. After she had opened everv drawer and cupboard at least twice, she leaned backwards, and with a nasal twang, shouted: I ley. Joe. have we got any more of those book covers? foe ' s answer, naturally enough, came sailing back, What book 100 THE ARTISAN W 39 covers? The Students ' Store supplies at least one type of book cover, and perhaps I wanted an eraser. Finally Joe, sauntered in, and after saying hello to everyone in the place, opened a secret panel under the counter and pulled out— guess what?— a book cover! 1 offered the young lady a fifty-cent piece. She stared at it a minute (it was the only change 1 had) as though to make sure it wasn ' t a pop bottle cap, then she snatched it from my palm, neatly excavating a little portion of raw meat from it with the aforementioned decorated finger- nails. And then, knowing full well that I couldn ' t leave as long as she had it in her possession, she proceeded to fill out form after form, indicating I had just made a world-rocking move by the purchase of a book cover. She then stood up, searched for her purse to put her pencil away, which she did. But the purse contents revealed a mirror and a powder puff. I will not describe her succeeding action; everyone has been a wit- ness to the familiar squint, the pucker, and the fairy-like dab. Noticing my lack of attention to her facial repairs, she mistook me for a stranger (I guess) and came over to me and inquired sweetly, Can I help you? Without swearing or throwing anything, I managed to convey to her the fact that she was still in possession of my half dollar, forty-nine cents of which was still mine. I gesticulated mutely toward the cash register. She looked at it dumbly for a minute, and then at me with a Whats-that- funny-looking-machine? look in her eye. Again she leaned backwards. Again I heard her nasal twang: Oh Billy, come and show me how to work the cash register, will ya, huh? Believe it or not, Billy actually knew how to work the register and I received my change— all in pennies. It seems that ' s all they had, and they counted them out to me, one by one. It was about a quarter to three now, and there didn ' t seem to be much I could do about my absence, so I figured I would stroll over to class. Just before I left the window, the young lady, Joe, and Billy, all came and stood behind the counter and bade me good-bye. They expressed a unanimous hope that I would come back again some day. The foregoing account is not the reason they do not permit me out alone; that is not the reason they make me wear this little nightie that fastens up the back. The final blow was the one that did it. That blow came when I reached my class and found I had left the book cover on the Student Bodv Store counter. STORY AND VERSE 101 CROSS OF WAR By Clifford Bryant Cross of War; the Frogs called it the Croix dc Guerre. He wanted to be a hero and get the Cross of War. He could hear Pop now, bragging about it to his cronies, and Mom; Mom would be telling Mrs. Murphy that her boy had become a hero. Well, he would get a Cross of War, even if he died trying. An officer came down the trench, rousing the sleeping men, and after speaking to them for a few seconds, passed on. The officer, who wore the silver bar of a first lieutenant, approached him; he wearily scrambled to his feet and slowly came to the position of attention. As you were, commanded the officer, How ' s your ammunition holding out? Not very good, sir, came the response. Report to the supply sergeant, he ' ll give you what you need. Be sure that your rifle is clean and your first aid kit complete. That ' s all. Yes sir, came Gregory ' s reply. Gregory reported to the supply sergeant and received ammunition, first aid supplies, and some canned salmon, generally referred to by the army as goldfish. Gregory, seeing thai no information was to be volunteered, ques- tioned the sergeant. Well, it ' s this way, drawled the sergeant, the •general ' at II.O. has decided that we ain ' t been congenial enough, so we ' re goin ' to make a call on Fritz at, let ' s sec, pulling a notebook from his pocket, he thumbed the pages, at-a-at 12:05 tonight. Better pack your trunk, sonny. Gregory stumbled away in a da .e, wondering how many of his pals would go west on this push tonight. How many of them would be left lying wounded in no man ' s land? Gosh! Another thought pushed itself into his mind— this might be his chance to get a Cross of War. 11:50 came; too soon for most of the men. Fifteen short minutes and several thousand men would be pouring over the top; to many it meant only fifteen short minutes of life. Several men spent their last few hours before zero hour getting their personal effects in order and writing letters to their loved ones, with the hope that they would be the ones to send them. Gregory stood up, put his letters away, reached for his pack, slipped it on over his shoulders and drew his bayonet from its sheath and fitted it over the bayonet stud on his rifle. 12:05 meant three things to him. the chance to live through the push; the chance to get the coveted Cross of War; and last, the chance that a slug had his name on it. 102 THE ARTISAN W ' 39 12:05. Whistle blasts! Over the top! Men clambered over the parapets and started at a dead run for the enemy trenches. Men were dying every place. Hah! The enemy! All right, men, steady. Stop, kneel, fire, eject the shell. Run, stop, kneel, fire, there was a clanking of steel as the bolts were jerked back to eject the shells, and new clips shoved in. Ah! Now they were tco close for rifle fire. The men took fresh grips on sweaty rifles. Glittering bayonets were kept ready for action. Here they come! Gregory was parrying right and left, thinking of the Cross of War during lulls in the battle. God, but this was horrible. The sickening feel of a human body yielding to cold steel. Heck, he ' d get that Cross of War yet. He started running toward the German trench. The stuttering of a machine gun could be heard above the roar of battle. Gee, that didn ' t help to steady a guy ' s nerves. Gregory cursed the machine gun furiously. Suddenly, he felt a heavy blow just above the belt. He looked down, blood gushed out! No pain as yet, ugh! there it came. He fell forward. Lying in his own blood he began to think of the Cross of War. The Cross of War that he wouldn ' t get from the Frog general with a kiss on both cheeks. The Cross of War that Mom and Pop wouldn ' t get to bra-a-a -His breath was shut off by the crimson foam on his lips. He stared unseeingly. Silence descended upon the battle field as the Germans stuck their hands up and cried, Kamerad. Gregory received his Cross of War as did many thousands of brave soldiers. Their crosses were lettered as was Gregory ' s: Pvt. Jerrv Gregory, 360th Inf., 89th Div. A.E.F. Killed in Action; June 26, 1918. A BURDENED SOUL By Evelvne Stasher Will my precious life go just clay by clay, With not a single chance in view? Must I let every valued hour go on its way. With little or naught to do? If so, unto God I make this request- When there ' s nothing that I can share or give, My presence here goes disregarded And that I say goes unrecorded. Shall I pass through life, unseen, unheard? If so, unto God I make this request- Lift my burden now and give me eternal rest. STORY AND VERSE 103 GLASS JAWS By George Weller Michael O ' Rilcv, better known as Mike, didn ' t talk much, but could he fight! He was the perfect example of a young healthy Irishman, six feet one in his stocking feet (which took size 14 shoes) , 216 pounds of brawny, rippling muscle, a strong-featured face with a long nose, blue eyes, a cheerful, tumed-up mouth, a brow as clear as a cool mountain lake, black unruly hair that he parted on the left side, ears that were a trifle large but seemed to fit in with his tall frame, and a pair of shoulders that seemed out of proportion to the small hips that would do any young debutante proud. His brother, Pat, was just the opposite. He was ten years older than Mike and ten inches shorter. Alike was the champion of the neighborhood and later the champ of the city. Pat, seeing his brother ' s possibities, decided to talk to him about training for the professional ring. It was about 6:30 in the morning when he found Mike in the bath room trying, with little success, to use the bottom of a shiny new dishpan as a mirror to shave by. Pat stopped short; then with a quizzical tone he said : Mike, me lad, sure an, why in the name of St. Patrick don ' t ye use the hand mirror? Mike replied apologetically, ' Aw sure, Pat, I tried it but the darned thing almost fell off of the sill so I got the dishpan. No seven years bad luck for mc. Pat decided not to argue with his brother as Mike had always been superstitious. Well, it ' s yer face, he said. Sure an ' ye look like the G erman boy after he finished boxing for the amateur championship. Say, said Pat as if he had just remembered what he had come to see Mike about, an ' why don ' t ye make boxin ' your profession instead o ' liftin ' beer kegs in Jock O ' Lcarv ' s saloon? Ye could make ten times as much money. Mike frowned. Well. Pat. I love to fight but 110 professional bouts for mc. I ' m not going to fight my head off just to have some manager take all me dough. Pat, seeing his brother ' s disapproval, hastily anwered, Sure and do ye think I ' d let anyone do that? Why I always managed ye in yer amateur bouts. I ' ll be ycr professional manager. Mike was quiet for a few seconds, as if thinking, then he extended his hand and said: Pat, I ' ll do it. Ten months later. Mike, after beating the best in Europe, was ,o 4 THE ARTISAN W 39 brought to America by Fat. In the prelims he knocked them out as fast as they came. Pat began to worry. Mike wasn ' t winning his fights via the K.O. route, ' true. Ire never lost a fight, but they called him a body puncher. Why did- n ' t he give them a haymaker on the jaw? lie let go by plenty of good chances for one stiff sock on the jaw which would have ended the fight. His opponents knew he wouldn ' t hit them on the jaw, but why, Pat asked himself, WHY? When he questioned Mike, he shook his head and replied darkly, Thev had glass jaws. Finally the offer Pat had been waiting for came. Mike was to fight the champ. Pat began to lose weight worrying over Mike ' s chances for the champ- ionship, but Mike didn ' t seem to be uneasy. Pat questioned Mike about it; this time he said: I ai n ' t worrying. They say he ' s got an iron jaw. Pat wondered. Had he gone balmy? As the night of the fight grew near Pat worried all the more, but Mike whistled and sang as if he did not have a care in the world. The night of the fight came too soon for Pat. As he entered the ring with Mike he hardly noticed the ballyhoo, crowded sweating people, clicking cameras, and pounding typewriters. The champ swaggered into the ring with purple trunks and red bath- robe. Mike had on his blue trunks and robe. Now Mike, me b ' y, ye can win this fight if ye keep yer head and don ' t rush him, but if ye get the chance sock him in the jaw. There goes the bell, Go out and WIN. Mike, with a complete disregard for Pat ' s first instructions rushed out and, with a grin on his face, swung and hit the champ flush on the jaw. The champ, who had started to protect his body from this body punch- er, was taken by complete surprise. He fell like a ton of bricks. That ' s all there was to it. A swing, a thud, a new champ. There was a hush and then a roar that shook the whole auditorium. Pat just stood still, dumbfounded, muttering to himself, Oh, Saint Patrick preserve us. What ' s come over the boy? He began to push his way through the crowd of policemen, seconds, trainers and admirers. When he reached Mike he was grinning from car to car. So ye decided to take my advice and sock him on the jaw after all. ' Well of course, Pat. The papers said he had an iron-jaw. Pat stared at him blankly. (Sure and what difference did that make?) Even if I did break his jaw it wouldn ' t matter. The other boys had glass jaws. I couldn ' t risk sev ' n years bad luck by hitting them in the jaw. STORY AND VERSE 105 TYPICAL BOYD LUCK By Eugene Horowitz With a grunt, Henry heaved the wheel into place and proceeded to bolt it down. It was a hot, dry clay and sweat rolled generously down his forehead, so that he stopped occasionally to mop his hand over his brow and bemoan his fate. He glanced narrowly at the mileage meter. This was his third flat in the seemingly unending 100 miles. But then, that was just his luck; the kind of luck that was now sending him on his flight away from his home, his friends, and the girl he loved. The kind of misfortune that left him at twenty-five, a pauper in love. It wasn ' t that Mary didn ' t want to marry him, she was quite willing, even anxious to become Mrs. Boyd. In fact, there was the catch. Henry had ideas of his own on marriage, and he ' d be darned if he would subject any girl to a life of penny pinching. Still, he couldn ' t bear not to take this love that he cherished for so long, only to run away from it, hence his flight— hence, three flat tires. For the third time that day he tossed the heavy hydraulic into the rumble seat and swinging his coat over a broad shoulder he turned, only to find himself looking down the yawning blue steel barrel of a 38. Better be nice, Bud. The voice came from a particularly dapper individual behind the revolver. You ' re taking me and Joe here, for a drive. He nodded toward a large pug-faced man who now emerged from behind a bush at the roadside. Now get in the car and act natural. If we ' re stopped, remember we ' re your friends, sec! lie poked the gun meaningly into Henry ' s ribs. Suddenly life became very valuable, and Henry stepped gingerly into his car followed by his two new friends. For two hours thev drove under the careful direction of the slick gen- tlemen when Henrv scented a tinge of salt in the air. They were nearing the sea. Now things began to piece together. The ugly man was called Joe. Could it be Joe Parker? Yes, it fitted perfectly. And this fellow with the gun in his lap, he must be Blacky Johnson. Sure, they were the ones, all right. Descriptions in the paper fitted to a tee. He reflected over what he had read about them. Notorious bank robbers! Killers. He shuddered with the thought. They were wanted in six states and by the federal men. Over $10,000 in reward money for their capture. Ten grand! Why a beggar could marry a girl with that kind of dough. He shifted his position sharply and impulsively with the thought, but that little convincer was there, reassuring him of its preparedness in case of opposition. There was no question, this fellow could hardly handle a rod. All hope of marital bliss or riches vanished as Henry drove up to a small landing by the oceanside, where there was tied a small but powerful speed boat. io6 THE ARTISAN W ' 39 ' Here ' s where we get off, but, it was Blacky speaking, and turn- ing to his partner he ordered, Get the tub started, Joe, while I fix this bird so he won ' t talk for quite a spell. Henry broke out in a cold sweat. It wet his shirt and trickled in large drops down his face. This was the end. lie knew it. The final blow of Boyd jinx. Henry was scared. Through a haze of emotion he heard Blacky, saying: Sorry to do this. Bud. Got to have a start you know. He then stooped over a wheel of Henry ' s car. It was a short time later that two officers on water front duty came upon the mussed figure of a husky young man, who though a little the worse for wear, was proudly exhibiting the battered hulk of two cowering gentlemen, at whom he was leveling their own familiar 38. You see, Man, he explained the next morning, My back was stiff from fixing three flat tires, and when they started to let the air out of all of them, I just couldn ' t stand it any longer.

At this time a vear ago when a weary but happy couple strolled into a near-by dance to cnjov the after-football-game-rally, the girl looked smooth and sophisticated with her hair in a long page-boy bob, and dressed in a charming tafetta dress trimmed with velvet or braid along the two-yard hem. She and her partner would wiggle their way onto the over- crowded floor and start to swing. Those were the days when swing could really be taken literally. Every other step was a twirl, single, double, or triple the more twirls the merrier. The monotonv of this would be broken as the boy would go into the splits, or he would pick his girl up and bounce her first on one knee then on the other, with a final swish across the floor, just before they would start the Big Apple. To show the contrast in modern trends; a couple who attended the football dance last Friday night, or who will attend one this Friday, will stroll into the dance, spirits high, due to the winning game their team played that afternoon. The girl ' s hairdress will either resemble a very fancy bird ' s nest, or will be reminiscent of the gav nineties, with curls piled high and ribbons hang- ing low. As the orchestra swings into the J ee P s Jumping. or the Big John Special, all the jitterbugs swarm onto the floor and start to jive. But the Big Apple and twirling are forgotten. Shagging is the stuff! The Shag, to those uninformed individuals who know not, is a com- bination of the old time sugar-shuffle and a mixture of any other steps and kicks that the couple dancing wish to improvise. The Lindy Hop, also danced to the same down-beat of music, comes in for its full share of credit for the change of ballroom dancing. Lindy Hopping was discovered five or six years ago, rose to success, then died clown. Now, ever since the Har- vest Moon Ball at New York City, which was the subject of many news- reels, the Lindy Hop has been in again, in full swing. This combination resulted in the Shag, and it ' s the most strenuous dance since the Adagio. It started in Harlem and spread like a forest fire to Park Avenue, Brooklyn and the Bronx. The colored folks down south had already been doing the basic steps of the Shag, but now it became specialized. The hands were higher, the kicking more ferocious, and the part where the partners separated became intensely individual. It was vaguely introduced around Los Angeles last fall when the Big Apple, Trucking, Pecking, and Suzy-O were at height, and was scoffed io8 THE ARTISAN W 39 at by loyal dancers of swing. The reason for the Shag ' s sudden rise to popularity can be explained by the fact that tvyirling and the old style of swing-dancing has become monotonous. It died a regretful death during the summer. Another reason can be traced to the dancing of a fellow from Chicago, who had a perfect technique worked out. He and his partner stole the show every time they appeared on the stage at the last Jitterbug Revue. Now Shag contests are being held at all popular dance places around the city. Even the older dancers usually termed slicker or conservative are trying it. They find that an evening spent doing the Shag is equal to a day of digging ditches or scrubbing floors. Although the Shag is now the rage, and will soon reach the peak of its popularity, this time next year something new and different will be in attracting the attention of those who are now ardent Shaggers. They will look back, scratch their heads and say, The Shag? That old dance! We ' re sick of hopping and kicking around. Come on, let ' s learn something new! SUNSET By Mary Schian A splash of pink And a spot of gold, A little blue That seems to mold. Then a flash of red The sky starts to burn. As the sun goes down And the world makes a turn. Then all that is left Are a million little lights. As the world has become What is known as night. STORY AND V ERSE 109 A REAL MAKE BELIEVE FAN By Grayce Van Tress I am one among the millions of movie goers who hide their troubled thoughts and worries amidst the dark rows of a theater. Along with the rest I am one of this make believe world. The only difference between me and the other fans is that our emotional reaction is different. If a motion picture is good and sometimes even if it is only fair, I find my handkerchief a wet rag as The End appears on the screen. Embarrassing to sav the least, but this is all due to my singular re- action. You see, I live with all the characters that move about the screen. I feel with them, hate with them, yes, I even love with them. As I live from the beginning to the end I grow to know and under- stand there people, not as actors but as real people. Their troubles are my troubles. Their happiness is my happiness. In fact their lives have become a part of mine. Therefore when the final curtain comes down between me and my world: the friends, the jovs and sorrows that I have just lived with are taken from me, and it is this that makes me cry. I have lost something very dear to me. I have lost my real world, the one you call make-believe. MOTHER By Florence O ' Leary Dearest Mother, wondrous one. Unselfish, kind and true. Kindly always, fair and sweet I raise my eyes to you. How you ' ve worried, toiled, and worked To make my dreams come true! Mother dearest, wondrous one, I lift my heart to you. I can ' t conceal the thoughts I hold The thoughts I keep inside. I must reveal them now and then, I cannot hold my pride. Dearest Mother, wondrous one, Unselfish, kind and true. Grandest person on the earth Eternal are thoughts of you. 110 THE ARTISAN W 39 ORIGINAL CINOUAINS By Sylvia Levine Oh joy!

What is the purpose Of this life? Time has never solved These ever puzzling Questions. Yet common sense Tells us that A world so g rand Could not be useless. Perhaps the truth Lies in the hereafter. Perhaps then Humanity Shall know the truth It could not solve In life. THE MASTER ' S WORK By Evelyne Stasher With masterful strokes, the heavens he brushed. And unfolded the beauty of color. In a sunset so rare, with its changing hues, of Crimson, pale rose, and deep vivid blue;— Our hearts were raised; our words were hushed In reverence for the privilege to behold The greatest of artists about his work. And a picture not valued in gold. NIGHT By Evelyne Stasher Night was creeping down the winding lane; Her cloak was floating in the evening breeze It spread across the meadow to the drowsy pines beyond. And wrapped itself around the pensive trees. 112 THE ARTISAN W ' 39 POET ' S SURREALISM By Mazie Mendenhall A question mark with a green bowler hat; A purring Persian headless eat; A tumble-weed with orange eyes; Green seaweed in purple skies. Glowering buttons on the march. Penguins ' shirt-tails stiff with starch; A golden-faced and laughing prism- This, I believe, is surrealism. MY DAY By Mary Schian When I get old, And my hair turns gray I ' ll not regret it. For I ' ve had my day. I ' ve had all the blessings That heaven could give, I ' ve even had love and Learned how to live. I ' ll never forget When I met the one, Who taught me to live With my face to the sun. So when time takes the turn And my hair shows gray, I ' ll not regret it For I ' ve had my day. STORY AND VERSE THE HIGHLANDS By Margaret Waltz A dizzy mountain crag climbs upward through the mists Of sparkling spray that wet its rocky base; The cataract comes spuming through the glen, which lists With silenced tongue, in shadow, to the chase. In ruggedness and beauty the Scottish scene is laid: The dew upon the hillside ' s green-leaved brakes. The heaths and scattered boulders, in ancient ages made— The liquid skies that arc the Scottish lakes. The light-rays leap from ridge to ridge and down into the fen. And having dawned upon the rocks, it gilds the eagle ' s beak As higher mounts the morning sun to cheer the hearts of men: And crowns the kilted clansman, upon the highest peak. u 4 THE ARTISAN W ' 39 APARTMENT-DWELLING COWBOYS By Mazie Mendenhall Oh, it ' s far from the smell of the lone pine tree And it ' s far from the lone wolf ' s wail; Lost from the sage ' s spicy scent And the deep well ' s rusty pail. Gone are the prairie ' s sweeping winds And the dusty gray-green mesquitc; Gone are the cowboy ' s ballad-song 1 ;, And galloping horses ' feet. But we ' ve the smell of gasoline And the wail of the baby next door. The potted geraniums ' spicy scent And rusty pipes galore. The ventilator ' s wheezy blow. The breezy electric fan. Our neighbor ' s screeching radio And their howling little man. The galloping feet of the milkman ' s horse In the wee small hours of the morn. The eerie hoot of the iron horse. And the horseless carriage ' s horn. Ay, we ' re far from our spacious Lone Star state. Way out there in the west. But we ' ve got lots to compensate In our new state of Never-Rest. STORY AND VERSE 115 IF ALL THE WORLD WERE SOLEMN STILL By Arthur Kelley If all the world were solemn still And not a sound were heard; If ev ' rv song and pleasant trill Were ne ' er more sung by bird; If ocean sprays all silent fell Upon a silent shore; And sunset weave its lonely spell To thrill my heart no more; Should all be still, and solemn, stand Hushed in reverie. Where quiet tides come in to land And pass once more to sea; Then leave but silence in my heart And speak no word to me; Then I would stand as one apart. From all that used to be. THE FLOWER OF LIFE Rv Frances Fiore Life seems to be another rose That fades when day is done. Whose fragrance is sweet, when life is new. life is new. Yet petals fall, one by one. When the last is gone forever The stem is thrown away. And the memory is like a dream That is forgot at break of day. n6 THE ARTISAN W 39 SCOTTISH REUNION By Margaret Waltz Ah, good day, gentlemen! said Sir Walter Seott, bowing. Well, well . . . Scotland has changed a bit since I was last there. This used to be all country for miles . . . it ' s good to be back. It ' s nice where we now are, but it ' s not Scotland— hey. Burns? Aye, mon, replied Robert Burns with a sigh, ' tis not that. Ah well, ' tis said ' tis less like ' t down baylow. Gentlemen, gentlemen, admonished John Knox, who was also of the group, let us dispense with all levity. We are gathered together on an occasion of great importance. Since our beloved Scotland has been united for many years with England, and since that country— er, our country— is at the commencement of a new reign, I believe a discussion of Scotland ' s past as it affects the present is most pertinent. Hear, hear! But the Reverend Mr. Knox is quite right, volunteered Boswell. We arc certainlv agreed upon that, for the greatness of Scot- land ' s past in surelv undying. Scarcelv a single field of endeavor exists which has not been benefited by the contributions of some Scotchman, whose example pocterity might do well to heed. Aside. Look at me for example. Robert Louis Stevenson, hereto silent, remarked, One of the most important of all these achievements is Scottish Minstrelsy. Don ' t you agree, Scott? Most emphatically. Surelv no other country is more famous for its song and verse than is Scotland. Our writers and songsters have given, er, that undefinable something to the world ' s culture. You for example. As everyone knows, your books have a spicy flavor of romance and adventure, appealing to both young and old. Oh thanks, old chap, murmured Stevenson. But reallv I don ' t de- serve such praise. Especially when vou yourself, a more fitting recipient, are about. You know it was you who inspired some of my writings in the first place. Your masterly novels— I say now, interrupted Scott hastily. Let ' s not make this meeting a beastly bouquet-party. And we reallv should speak of Burn ' s poetry- first, anyhow — minstrelsy, you know. Burns is all for the common folk, sincerely, and a ' that. Aye, speaking of Boswell, added Burns irrcvclantlv, What ' d English literature be without his ' Life of Samuel Johnson? ' What indeed? agreed Stevenson. It would be extremely un- fortunate were the life-story of that eccentric individual lost to history. Knox made a similar comment and then added, While Scot- land ' s literary achievements arc not by any means her only ones, I am sure they rank among her highest.

CLUBS 121 WORLD FRIENDSHIP CLUB Because of its work locally, and its association with the citv and state federation, the World Friendship Club is one of the foremost clubs at Manual. The main purpose of the organization is to further friendly relations between all nations by the cooperation of the youth of all countries. Pres- ent clay situations were constantly discussed by the members of the club. The meetings were held bi-weekly at which outside speakers talked to the club on timely subjects. Besides having an educational aim, the club offered many social ac- tivities. Among them was the sponsors ' meeting held at Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach at which were representatives from all over the city. The program included a business meeting and very interesting speeches by prominent speakers. This semester several new plans, originated by the officers, and spon- sors Dr. Bailey and Mr. Maile, were used to make the club more of a suc- cess and to make the meeting more interesting. The officers for this term were: Wallace Connallv, president; Paul Rodct. boys ' vice president; Florence Kinscv, girls ' vice president; Beth- Woods, secretary; Dick Lucas, treasurer; and Kenneth Atkins, sergeant- at-arms. THE ARTISAN W 39 PLAYERS ' COMPANY Keen Comedies! Swell, let ' s have more like them. With like comments the curtain was lowered on the first success of the year. A double hit, for on October 17, the Players ' Company made its seasonal de- but with a double feature, Sauce for the Gosling, and Not Quite Such A Goose. Those participating in the plavs were; Willard Johnson, Pat Thornquist. Barbara Coles. Gene Tighe, Barbara Bcattv, Bob La Turner, Rowland Logan, Al Rabin, Normajeanne Jordan, Paul Polizott, and Bettv Goodin. On the auditorium calendar for November appeared a red letter dav marked Booth Tarkington ' s Station Y.Y.Y.Y. The cast included Jean- ette Palmer, Don Murray, Patty Daughertv, Janet Wharton, Ed Cum- mings, Karl Kavlor, and Clifford Ilarrv. Original plays were produced and directed by the members of the club. This practise was encouraged as it relieved the necessity of having to dig into the treasurv for large rovaltv fees. In the class plavs were read, studied, and sets made reach for pro- duction. Under this new management the Players ' Company saw the com- pletion of its most brilliant season since the reorganization of winter ' 37. At the end of the term the ardent Thespians were rewarded with a party in the new cafeteria. The officers of the semester were: President, Florence Kinsev; vice- president. Gene Tighe; secretary-treasurer, Pattv Daughertv.

Its responsibilities arc to take charge of all emergency drills such as fire and earthquake, to help at assemblies, to inspect fire equipment at regular intervals, and to quell smoking off grounds. The Department, this year, tried a new plan by which the members were divided into four groups, the arson squad, the maintenance squad; the first aid squad, and the public relations squad. Their duties were many and of consistent use to the student body. The officers were; Chief, Bob Sanfelder; captain, Richard Cordano; ist Lt„ Wallv Musselwhite; 2nd Lt. Margie Bond; Sergeant-at-arms, Ilarrv Leeman; and secretary, Kay Kingsbury; adviser Dr. Fisher. GRAPHIC ARTS CLUB The Graphic Arts Club was organized in 1934 f° r boys taking print shop or bindery from Mr. Reeder, the binder}- teacher. The club tries to take at least five or six trips a term to such places as the Examiner, Times, Herald Express, trade binderys and other commercial shops. This gives the club members a chance to see machinery in operation that they have never seen before and would not ordinarily sec while at high school. This term there were close to twenty members in the club. The offic- ers were as follows: Kenneth Busteed, president; Dick Smith, vice-presi- dent; Morrie Zacuto, secretary-treasurer; and Kenneth Atkins, sergeant-at- arms. Mr. Reeder is sponsor. CLUBS 127 Japanese Club Sales Club Fire Department 128 THE ARTISAN W 39 PUBLIC ADDRESS CREW Under the leadership of Dave Baldwin and Mr. Haralson, the Man- ual Arts public address crew has established itself as one of the most important organizations in the school. It has not only built the best of equipment for Manual but has also built public address systems for other Los Angeles high schools. This term great strides were made. An electrical unit was set up, by which music could be played in the quad at noon over loud speakers. Through the untiring efforts of the boys an excellent system of broad- casting the football games was inaugurated, including that of transmission over a local radio station. Assemblies in the auditorium and on the blea- chers were made possible bv the constant work of the crew. Dave Baldwin, chief technician; Don Anthony. Charles Chitty, Bill Courtney; Joe Carafola; Dale Jenks; Tony Kazmarek; Leon Smith; adviser, Mr. Haralson. BOX OFFICE CREW The box office crew takes care of ticket selling and ticket collecting at all assemblies, athletic contests and programs. Their duties also include such preparation as is needed at the gates and doors to take care of the crowds which attend these events. The crew is selected from the students who have made a study of this kind of work. This group functions under the supervision of the student body manager. Owing to the multiplicity of the duties which come under this office a box office manger is appointed to attend to the details. This year the student body manager is Robert Wallace and the box office manager is Larrv Meurs. BASEBALL CLUB The Baseball Club this term completed its third vear of activity since the discontinuance of baseball at Manual. One of the main activities was working for the return of the horsehidc sport to Manual. It is hoped that one-hundred boys will be wearing the new Baseball Club sweaters at the beginning of the new term in February. Coach Lougheed, who teaches corrective work in the physical Educa- tion Department, is the adviser. He was very helpful in teaching the club members the technical part of the sport and it is hoped that baseball as a major sport will return this spring. This semester ' s cabinet consisted of Conlcv Gibson, president; Tom McQueen, secretary; Herb Montgomery, treasurer; Russ Guivcr. publicity; and Bill Goodwin, sergeant-at-arms. Mr. Lougheed. adviser.

Its large, old fashioned drawing room is humming with life— with little Mackenzies, big Mackenzies, the voung and the old. Aye, if it isn ' t a elan gathering! Suddenly from the midst of cheery laugther and deep Scottish brogues, the booming, yet kindly voice of old Sandy Mackenzie is heard. The pipers arc coming, he announces, and sure enough from the far corner advancing flashes of brilliant kilts can be seen. The scores of clans- men become respectfully silent. The pipers halt, place the drones over their shoulders and proceed to inflate their pipes. At once piercing shrieks shatter the air in every direc- tion while the pipers ' fingers, stiff as sticks and jointed only at their palms, beat deftly on the holes of the chanter, letting loose flight after flight of shrill fragments of tunes. The pipes are now being tuned. This wind instrument itself is an air tight leather bag which was fashionable in every European country up to the 18th century, but which is now commonly associated with Scotland. Music comes from four pipes which protrude from the bag, and into which the air is forced, by pressing the bag under the arm. One of the pipes, the chanter, is a primitive oboe with eight holes; it produces the melody. The others, called drones, each sound only one continuous low note. The bagpipe has a novel pentatonic scale which cannot be trans- posed from one kev to another. But back to the bagpipers who swerve slowly from side to side as they play, just as their forebears used to do. Even the manner in which the piper carries himself is prescribed bv the pipers ' tradition. The music of the pipers gradually flows into a pibroch, a legend told with bagpipes. Though the pibroch may sound utterly strange and unin- telligible to foreign ears, to Highland clansmen each long pibroch tells its fascinating talc. It may be the story of the wandering prince who sent an envoy to the certain clan to sec whether hospitality would be given him. It will tell of the envoy ' s journey, the prince ' s anxious waiting and finally of the prince ' s content as he settles down to sleep in the castle of his friendly hosts. Still it may be the legend of a raid on a clan, of the capture of the clan ' s piper and how he saved his people by sounding a wild warning when he was ordered to play a joyful tune by the enemy. These age old legends arc played at each clan gathering. The pipers ' final tunc sinks into a low drone without ceasing to be, and as the air slackens in the bag. the music fades away. The bagpipers, their checks still red from blowing and eyes still shin- ing with music start solemnly toward the door. A long silence prevails; the clansmen can neither move nor utter a word, that traditional pibroch has left them impressed— thrilled— speechless.

BAND Though everyone doesn ' t realize it, there would be no army during peace time without the flags, the uniforms, and the bands. Hats off, then, to the band of the Manual Arts R. O. T. C! Excellent service has been given this vear by the bovs. The unit was composed of some twenty-five men, and was under the leadership of Captain Ralph Landreth. Mr. Killgrove, the instructor, deserves much credit for his work in bringing out the musical talent of the members of the organization. R.O.T.C. DRESS PARADE Seeking dimly visible companv guidons, olive drab clad figures moved through the blue haze that blanketed the parade grounds. Behind those pennants the companies were being formed. The battalion was assemb- ling; awaiting orders. The heavy fog began to lift slowly, and the sun slanted its rays through it. Shining specks began to appear as the light struck glistening bits of metal. Bovs wearing pressed and brushed full dress uniforms were forming in preparation for the parade. Some were doing last minute brass polishing jobs before taking their places. Despairing platoon sergeants were yelling in an attempt to get some semblance of order. Fall in! You ' re at attention! Take your hands out of your pockets! Straighten that line! Back on the flank! Then I took my place, and with a sleepy salute, First platoon, all present. Post! The first sergeant ' s command snapped through the air. Following in a softer tone was, All present or accounted for, sir. The company was formed. M I L I T A R Y 141 With even sweeps, the lieutenants imitated the captain as he drew his saber. First shaking it loose, then drawing it, then returning the scab- bard to its hook. Facing about, the captain glanced along the line. The adjutant was at his post beside the band and the band leader had his baton raised. Forward, march! The words rang through the still air, and many a voting pulse quickened as we marched forward. Elbows bent at just the right angle, arms swinging just so, and knees bending heavv creases that fairly crackled as pressure was put upon them. The company guidon, bearing crossed rifles and Co. A snapped in the breeze. A gold silk ribbon waved with it. That ribbon was for winning first line a week ago. We were proud of it. Then we were halted and the lieutenant was dressing the line. I watched him as he took his post. His uniform seemed alive as the sun struck brilliantly polished brass and leather. His saber was like the hub of a wheel, and the spokes were our gazes, riveted to it. I guess all of us longed for the time when we would no longer be just enlisted men, but officers strutting in Sam Brownes, and carrying sabers, and teaching our charges the way of it. A long grind and difficult. It meant much of theoretical studv, and then practice on the drill field. It meant getting up early in the morning to attend classes, to school spick as though you had just stepped out of the proverbial hand-box. We were at parade rest. The band had sounded off and was passing between the staff and the battalion. Thev were playing well this morning, and I listened until they marched back to the right of the line. There, while we were at present arms, the Star Spangled Banner was plaving, and the colors were raised high on the pole. I watched them and thrilled. It was always that way when the flag was being raned. The report and orders for the day over, the awaited command floated across the field. Pass in review! Solemn it was, but also electric. Lithe muscles tensed, and young hearts fluttered anew. Weeks of repetition had failed to change that. Terse commands came and were executed. It was as though every man was a puppet wi th strings moving him. All was a product of earnest work. Then we approached the reviewing stand. The lieutenant ' s saber flashed up and down; Eyes right! Three paces from the lieutenant and dress it to the right. Came the low monotone of the left guide: Back on the flank— up the middle— hold it—. Hold it? Yes we held it. We held it until we thought our backs would break. But we held. Front! That broke the spell. We relaxed a little and were happy. I 4 2 THE ARTISAN W 39 thinking of a job well done. Strange, the line still held and we weren ' t straining any more. Some might have scientific names for it but I would say it was just happiness. Now, the platoon was swinging to the left out of the way and moving into place for the inspection, with the rest of t he battalion following. The inspection was over, we again moved forward, then around to come in line on a line on a long diagonal across the parade ground toward the armory. Company A was leading. Suddenly our steps began to falter. Nervous tension and strain had claimed its reward, and we found ourselves tired. Exhausted; as though we had just finished a hard dav ' s work. Exhausted in body, ves; but not in spirit even though wc knew, all of us, that we were soon to start another routine week. MANUAL ARTS DRILL SQUAD The Manual Arts Drill Squad has always been the most represent- ative unit of the R. O. T. C. Both in the past and present this organization has typified the splendid efficiency and military precision attained by the Manual Arts cadets. The squad gave exhibitions at the Beverly Mills Boy Scout Court of Honor and at the Mcnlo Avenue School, for the Community Chest Drive. The leader of this traditional organization is Lieutenant Colonel Carl Krucger. Its members arc: Captain Lucas, Captain Matthew, Lieutenant Mikol, Lieutenant Wynn, Lieutenant Stein, Lieutenant Adams, Lieuten- ant k ' avlor, and Lieutenant Brvson. MILITARY •43 THE OFFICERS CLUB NON-COMS ' CLUB The club has indulged in a number of social events this year, includ- ing a banquet, a skating party, and several parties held at different mem- bers ' homes.

Old Edinburgh and down the Roval Mile— here ghosts pull at your memory, attempting to pull you back into dark and unforgctable places. Trv as you mav to bid farewell to them at midnight, you stav and listen to deeds of men of sword and pen and pale kings riding along the way and the memory of the one and dear, misguided Queen. Here, at Edinburgh castle, is one of the strangest mysteries of all Scottish history. For many generations a tradition has persisted that at the birth of James I, his mother, Queen Mary, substituted him for another child, born at the same time. The Countess of Mar took the young king and had him killed and her son, the voung Earl of Mar, ascended the throne of England and Scotland. The legend grew in new importance after a fire in Queen Mary ' s apartments, when a small oak coffin was discovered in the wall. The coffin contained an infant, wrapped in a richly embroidered silk shroud. Two initials were worked clearly on it and one of the letters was the initials J. Many have tales of this small oak coffin to tell the traveller. But until the day arrives when science may take the bones of the child and prove who he was, the coffin and its contents will forever remain one of the favorite mysteries of the Scottish folk. Not only do queens hold one ' s interest but Bonnie Prince Charlie his rebel songs and his portrait. Then there is the most mysterious house in all Aberdeen where only those employed in it know the heartbreak and joy there. There is the beautiful garden of Dumfcrmlinc which Andrew Carnegie gave to the town. There is Robert of Bruce who lies in the old Abbey and whose heart was taken out of his body and taken upon the great Crusade. One, the King of Steel, the other, the Steel King. Throughout the nights, ghosts of Scottish History tell you their stories in more than words, by a ring, a box or picture. But the memories are still there and not even an experienced traveller is able to turn his back to the beckoning of these ghosts. 1 s r f 1 g pv: H p MOKV. ■ ■ lb 3§? pss iSS ATHLETICS a 3 fes§ ■.

An All- American himself, lie has built a reputation as a builder of champions. He came to Manual in igiy and through the ensuing vears has been known to never let down on his teams. Williams Pee-wee as he is affectionately called proves the statement that all good things come in small packages. Championships galore one after an- other have fallen to Manual in gymnastics because of the fine general- ship of Coach Williams. A true and faithful mentor in all sports. Armstrong When looking at Coach Armstrong he looks normal, but he has some of the superhuman in him. lie instills fight and determination into his teams with a single flick of his tongue. A glimpse at his material would turn an average coach grav, not so Coach Armstrong. He plows through opposition to win, and to turn out great basketball teams. Lougheed Through his work is not turning teams into championship tea ms since the discontinuation of baseball, he now has a much more important job, that which fits broken and physically deformed bodies into capable, strong, healthy specimens of manhood. Coach Lougheed trains teams for the fight of life. Smith Snuffy taking the Bee football squad for the first time this vear brought them through a tough season with the Southern League title sewed up. Impressive himself in all sports he often finds himself picking up the loose ends and giving advice to the other coaches. A fine coach equals a fine team. Blewett Lots can be said about Coach Blewett but it all has been said before so what is the use of repeating it, one look at wonderful record will tell you just what a fine coach he is. Not onlv is he a great moulder of green material but he is a past master at fight talks. He has many a time proved .i godsend to Manual in time of success as well as in defeat. ATHLETICS H7 ATHL Sid Foster James Blewett James Armstrong tTIC COACHES Arthur Williams Wendell Smith Herbert Lougheed THE ARTISAN VV ' 39 £% GeSs -= Manual, 26; Hollywood o Entirely subdued by a much superior Manual team, the Hollywood varsity eleven fell to a 26-0 defeat in the first practice game of the 1938 football season. The torrid Toilers had it all over the boys from the northern part of town. Passing, kicking, and running were all hogged by the Blevvettmcn. Led by the flashing attack of Bob Schmidt, Leon McCardlc, and Bob Gonzales, the Manual team fairly sparkled and showed signs of the old champions of the ' 36 and ' 37 seasons. Leon McCardle showed so much promise that some picked him for all city before the first game of the season was over. 19 points were chalked up in the first half giving Manual a sub- stantial lead so the third string went into the game and after a 38 yard sustained chive pushed over the final touchdown of the game leaving the final score Manual, 26; Hollywood, o. Although showing much spirit and determination the Hollywood team was outclassed in every field of endeavor and did not live up to previous expectations. A T H LETICS 149 Manual, Lincoln, 7 Dashing themselves against a stonewall the Lincoln Tigers found nothing but defeat and the short end a 32-7 score awaiting them when they invaded Wilson Field for the second practice game of the season. Passing their way to a 7 point lead in the first quarter the Tigers showed much aggressiveness against Manual ' s second string and held their seven point lead all of the first quarter. The second quarter started with the loosing of the Manual hungry pack ; namely, the first string. On the first play that Manual had the ball McCardle took a reverse from Schmidt and ran the ball over for a touchdown. The result of a penalty gave Manual the next touchdown when Culler signaled for a fair catch and a Lincoln man tackled him. The ball was pushed over from the one yard line. All the next three touchdowns came as re- sults of heads up football and powerful line play. An intercepted pass by Bill Culler was the direct cause of the last score. Easily outclassing the Tigers the Torrid Toilers started the second string and finished with them. Howard Hunt and Ed Reeves played fine ball for the second string and Lincoln made no points against them. i 5 o THE ARTISAN W 39 Manual, 26; Eagle Rock o Pulling a second win in two years with the score being the same in both tilts the Toilers added another win to the long list when they beat the Eagle Rockers by a score of 26-0. Playing almost the whole game the reserves even down to the third and fourth string pulled a win that even the first string would have been proud of. Beautiful playing on the part of Bob Gonzales paved the way for three of the touchdowns, with the first string making one touchdown the few minutes they were in the game. One of the prettiest laterals seen this term was executed when Gon- zales ran the ball up to the 37 yard line and seeing that he was about to be tackled sent the ball over to Hunt who out ran the Eagles ' secondary de- fense for another score. The score docs not honestly show the exact power of the Toilers be- cause the first string was only in the game a very few minutes and the game was plavcd mostlv bv the second string and reserves. The score might have been a little different if the Rockers could have been able to hold on to their passes. As it was they showed much promise and put up a lively and interesting battle. A Til LET ICS i5 ] Manual Arts; 32; Washington, o. Smashing their way to a stunning victory over a greatly overrated General eleven the Toiler varsity took the Washington team to the clean- ers to the tune of 32-0 in the first league game of the ' 38 football season. The Toiler show of power and perfect playing was something wonderful to see, the student body who bv now are used to large scores were even astounded at the way the Manual team dispatched their unlucky foes. Led bv the great playing of Leon McCardle and backed up bv the great Toiler wall the Blewettmen easily moved the ball up and down the field at will; passing was in evidence and two of the touchdowns were made directlv from passes. The second string once more played a great deal of the game and out- played the Generals in even way. Tommv Fears, Jack Smover. and Bob Gonzales plaved such fine ball that it is going to lie hard to divide the first string from the second. The new kicking toe is being put into use bv Bill Culler and is holding a high average, although it is not perfect yet, when Bill gets the range the ball generally goes between the uprights. !5 : THE ARTISAN W 39 Manual, 28; Poly, o A fast Toiler team, inspired and determined, tore through a weak and listless Polv eleven in the second league game of the season. With the speed and precision of a moving torpedo and twice as dangerous, the Toil- ing Toilers moved into the scoring column for 28 points to their bewil- dered opponents ' o. Striking fast and with great accuracy Manual amassed 21 points in the first half. The first touchdown came when Leon McCardlc, taking a punt on Poly ' s 35 vard line, ran the ball back for a touchdown after shaking off sev- eral Poly players. A 63 vard drive ended in another touchdown when Law- rence Boyd bucked center from the two yard line to add 6 more points. The Manual third touchdown came when but one minute of the second half had passed. Bob Gonzales took the ball on the first play and scam- pered from the Manual 47 over the goal and more pay dirt. The run was one of the longest of the season, 53 yards. The last touchdown came after a sustained drive of 40 yards making the final score 28-0. One other thing that Manual excelled in was her conversions, not missing one and coming close to a field goal in another instance. Bill Cul- ler is the heavy kicker for Manual and it isn ' t often that he misses. In one way the Polv game was very disastrous, three of Manual ' s first string backfield men were hurt, and they will leave a large gap for the second string to fill. These men are Ralph Borrclli, Bob Schmidt, and Leon McCardle. A I ' ll LETICS 153 Manual, o; Fremont 6 Before ig,ooo rabid football fans, including a large number of Manual graduate ' -. Manual lost a bard fought game to the Fremont Pathfinders. After winning 21 games in a row and not losing one game since ' 35 when the same Fremont knocked Manual out of its championship hopes, the Pathfinder 3 del the same this year and virtually clinched the title for them- selves. Each team showed remarkable defense but the Pathfinders had a de- cisive hold on the offense. Mel Bleeker proved himself to be one of the finest ball packers ever seen on a prep grid iron and he had a field clay with the injury ridden Manual team. Only marvelous tackles and almost a man to man defense held the Fremont men to six points. The whole Manual team for once played as if they were possessed and they did all that was possible for them to do. The only score of the game came when Nelson of Fremont shot a short pa s over the goal into the waiting arms of Bennett. The pass was good fcr twelve vards. There were other threats but on all these Manual held. The one time Manual had a chance to score was in the last minute-; of the first half when Payne passed several passes but all fell shor:. J 54 THE ARTISAN W 39 Manual Arts, Huntington Park, 2. With their sense of security knocked out from under them the Man- ual Toilers won a hard fought battle with the Huntington Park Spartans. A game that earlier in the season would have been a cinch for them they barely won by a 7 - 2 score. Playing before the smallest gathering of the year the Toilers seemed to lack the fight and spirit that they had been noted for before. The only Toiler score came in the second quarter when Bill Plumley was instrumental in getting the ball into scoring position. A pass from Gonzales to Schmidt was responsible for the six points and the trusty toe of Bill Culler made the extra point. Huntington Park ' s score was made when a Spartan linesman blocked a punt of Schmidt ' s and it went out of bounds before one of II. P. ' s men could recover it, making a touch back and not a touchdown. The game as a whole was slow and dull with only a few highlights. The outstanding players of the day were Plumley, Dragna, Wilier, Culler, Borrelli, Pavnc and Schmidt. ATHLETICS 55 Manual Aits. 13; Jefferson, o. Playing before a capacity crowd the somewhat downtrodden Manual Toilers picked up where thev left off after the Poly game and landslid the Jefferson Democrats by a vote of 13-0 on the losers ' field. The Torrid Toilers were able to defeat the Destructive Democrats by the finest pass- ing attack seen all season in the Southern League. The passing trio was made up of Jav Payne, Bob Schmidt, and Bill Plumley. Dean Gunn opened the way for the opening touchdown when he re- covered a Jefferson fumble on the 35 yard line. Failing to gain on the next two plavs a trick play was inserted. Boyd took the ball; reversed to Borrclli, who lateralled the ball to Schmidt who made a long pass to Plumley who kept on to a touchdown and 6 points. Culler converted to make the score 7-0. The second score came late 111 the second quarter when Payne dropped a perfect pass into the hands of Plumley. The kick for the extra point was no good and the score stood 13-0 at the end of the game. Perhaps the cleanest game of the season and the hardest fought game of the season, the low score was probably due to the fine playing of Tafoyt and Black of the Jefferson squad who were always getting into Manual ' s hair. For Manual the best player on the field was easily Don Wilier while Bill Plumlev and Jav Pavne kept fighting all of the way. The winning of this game makes Manual eligible to play in the big charity carnival in the Coliseum against Los Angeles High. 156 T HE ARTISAN W ' 39 South, 13; North, 13 Before 65,000 ardent football fans the sixth annual P.T.A. football carnival ended in a 13-13 tie. Thrills and chills aplenty were noted as the south held the north to a 1 3-6 lead up to the last game when the north tied the game in a blazing finish. The Vikings of Riis gave the north the first score when Perdue went over the goal for six points after 355 yard drive down the coliseum turf. Torrance, the opponent for Riis, came back and carried the ball down the field after a sustained 75 yard drive for six points. After converting, the score stood 7-6 in favor of the south. Fremont made the score 13 for the south when Mell Bleeker pushed the Franklin eleven all over the field. Bleeker with his smashing drives and Strawn with his passes made a pair hard to beat. The south had it in the bag until Manual came up against the strong Los Angeles team. As the result of two passes the strong Roman team made a touchdown then kicked the extra point, ticing the game with a double jinx number 15-13- ATHLETICS 157 Bill Culler— Bill had a hard job this year to step into the place left by Scolinos. He not only did just this but he played even- bit as good ball. He was an accomplished kicker and will be greatly missed next year. Don Wilier— Picked all citv for two years in a row should tell the story about this greatest of the great. Wilier played the tackle position in a way that left little to be desired. He seemed to be in every tackle made and his name will always be spoken with memory of his work as tackle. Don is a senior and will be great- ly missed. Ronald Thomas— Next to Wilier, Ronnie played the most minutes of any one on the team. Always reliable and steady he held the tackle position down to the satisfaction of everyone on the team. Al Braun— Held down the left guard posi- tion and stopped the plays that came near him and broke large holes in the line on the offense. He is a senior and will be greatly missed next term. i 5 8 THE ARTISAN W 39 Ralph Borrelli— Perhaps no other man on the team had as much to do with the points made as Ralph. He was one of the outstanding blockers of the city and at calling signals he was a whiz. He was giv- en all-city mention as blocking back. Bob Schmidt— Another man who was injur- ed in the Poly game but who came back to become one of the most formidable back field men ever had at Manual. His long end runs garnered many extra yards. Bob is a senior and will not return to the frav after this vear. Bob Gonzales— Bob was one of the more flashy backs of the season. Taking over McCardle ' s position was a hard task but he stepped in and showed that he could do as well as anyone at his position. Leon McCardle— Leon was one of the ace ball carriers who was injured in the Poly game. His playing was missed so much that some think that it was the indirect cause of our loss to Fremont. He will be back next vear. A T HLETICS !59 Bill Plumley— Star left end, almost won the Jeff game single handed making both touchdowns as a result of two passes. Bill was noted for his hard tackles and deter- mination that the enemy team shall not pass. He was also mentioned on the all- citv team. Tom Fears— Tom played left end where he established himself as one of the best all around players on the team. He is only a tenth grader and has two years of competition. Bob Henry— Put out of play early in the season because of a head injury came back in the later games to take over his old position of right guard. Always play- ing a brilliant game of football he is also high in scholastic achievement. John Feole— Took over Henry ' s place and did a swell job of it. He stopped main a play that would have made yardage. He handled the right guard position with a master hand. THE ARTISAN W Jack Smoyer— Not as spectacular as Borrelli but nearly as effective Jack held down his job as quarterback as neatly as could be expected. He often called the signal for a touchdown play. Jack is a senior and will be missed greatly next year. Harvey Reeves— Another back with tremen- dous power and drive, who made many an extra yard when it was needed for a first down. He played heads up ball all season and will not be back. Dick Fairbanks— At left half he played good ball all season. Being one of the fastest men on the team he ran rings around slower teams. He will not be back next term. Howard Hunt— Howie was acclaimed the hardest driving man in the star studded backficld. He displayed this power in the Jeff game. This is Howard ' s last year. AT II L E T I C S i6i Howard Taft — Here was one of the team ' s ablest ends. When not snagging passes he was taking out men for long end runs. Howie was also noted for his fine dispo- sition. He is a senior and will not be back Gus Armcndariz— Although his fine work was not generally recognized Gus played a steady type of game and did not show any flash that makes other centers fam- ous. Gus would make first string on any team in the citv that did not have such a fine pivot man as Culler. He is also a sen- ior. Jay Payne— Here was a passer that was un- equaled on the tcun, whose long passes made main ' a point possible. His win- ning spirit and flashing smile made him one of the most popular players on the team. He will not be back next year. Louis Dragna— Louis held down right end where he was one of the best offensive players on the team. His fine blocking of- ten paved the way for large gains around his end. This is Louie ' s last vcar. if : THE ARTISAN W ' 39 Lawrence Boyd— A driving, hard hitting fullback was Bovd who had the reputa- tion of being the deadliest tackier on the team. Boyd is back next year. Hubert Temple— After playing second string for three years Hubert came back in the last few games to clearly show that he was a threat for his position of left guard. Dean Gunn— Dean was the heaviest man on the team this year and proved a power of strength at his left tackle position. Dean displayed a fine brand of ball playing all season with his fine way of opening holes in the opposition. He is a senior and will not be back next year. Pete Peterson— Played second string run- ning guard, Pete played such great ball while he was in the game that there was little room for imp rovement. There wa so little difference between his playing and Braun ' s playing that at times it was difficult to be sure who was first string. Andy Aikin— Andy was Willer ' s understudy at tackle and when he replaced Don he did not weaken the team anv. He has one more year and will greatly strengthen the team.

Commencing the season with three practice games, two won and one lost, the lightweights discovered and practiced up on the bobbles in plays. The crown seemed a long ways off after the first league game when the Washington Generals held the fighting Toilers to a scoreless tie. Things brightened however in the next game when Manual pulled what later proved to be a real upset bv beating a strong and favored Poly- team 13-9. The first score came when McGee shot a pass to Figueroa who twisted and turned his way over for a score, the play going 68 yards. A fumble recovered by McClanahan was the direct cause of the next touchdown which left the score 1 3 for Manual and which was too big for Poly to overcome. Downing a weak Fremont team the Toilers continued their march on to the championship. The highlight in the game came when Coach Smith promised his boys a big feed if they came through to win the Southern League championship. The next game bv the Toilers was a complete rout of a weak but hard fighting Huntington Park eleven. The final score hardly tells the way that Manual pushed the H.P. bovs around to the tune of 14-0. The second stringers saw a lot of action with McClanahan leading the way. Ashley also turned an unusually fine performance on the defense. The last, decisive, and easiest game came when Jefferson invaded the Manual field and left after a 21-0 score had been piled up against them. The Demos were pushed all around the field bv the fast and greatly im- proved Manual offense, and they could not get anywhere past the strong defense. As the game ended the Jeff game the Bees were heading the list of the Southern League, and in first place. Throughout the season the Toiler Bee line was a bulwark of strength, George Prince, Jack Bussio, and Bill Ashley kept the opposition at bay with their driving tackles and dashing blocks. They also opened great holes for the backs to run through. Warren Lindscv was the stellar center who kept the team in high spirits and made some of the most vicious tackles besides recovering some important fumbles. Bovd Slatter and Lorn Thompson both played the best of football all season and some fine tackling on defense. AT IILETICS 165 THE BEE NUMERALMEN Being a truly great Bee team this year eighteen numerals were awarded to the following boys: Captain Lindsay, Bussio, Peterson, Thompson, McGee, Sanchez, Slatter, Hutchison, McClanahan, Prince, Baron, Bcfu, Figueroa, Yuhame, Ashley, Brown. Scott, and Nitta. Among these bovs five were selected on the All Southern League team selected by other schools. Meridith McGee was chosen for his fine elusive running and his dead- ly passing. Although he onlv weighed 1 2 pounds he punctured his opponent ' s line like a ton of bricks. Bovd Slatter was selected as the best left end in the league. His fine defensive play that has stuck out like a sore thumb to his opponents have marked him as a terror. Jack Bussio was chosen for his great work in opening up holes for the backs. Jacks played tackle and his opponents consider him as a second Don Wilier. Warren Lindsay was unanimously voted on as the best center in the Southern League. He was a decided threat on the defense. Backing up the line he often intercepted passes and was a tower of strength when it came to blocking. George Prince played tackle and that is one of the chief reasons why his opponents could not make much yardage. George, mentioned by other teams, was given honors chiefly for strictly defensive type of football that gave them pain every time he blocked or tackled. The entire Bee team played fine football and should be congratulated by the student body for their fine performances. x 66 THE ARTISAN W 39 CEE SUMMARY By Don Reeder Although the Manual midget gridders did not have what might be termed a highly ' successful season, they by no means suffered a disastrous one. Under the capable handling of Coach Max Aron they won one en- counter, tied three, and dropped one by a close verdict. The Toiler eleven opened their season by deadlocking a powerful Loyola High o-o in a non-league contest. In their first league tussle they dropped a close 9-6 decision to a surprisingly strong Washington contin- gent. Coming back the following week the Artisan squad fought a favored Los Angeles High team to a 7-7 deadlock. Getting a slight rest from their circuit schedule the Purple and Grey lads met Hamilton in a practice tilt and came out victorious with an im- pressive 19-0 score. In that momentous last game of the season the Toilers returned to their stiff league schedule and opposed the San Pedro squad only to fight their hearts out for 32 minutes and receive a scoreless tie. In the early portion of the season the squad was somewhat inexper- ienced but as time passed Coach Aron developed it into a smart running grid machine. The blocking and tackling, at first sloppy, was improved greatly. New formations were practiced; several shifty ball-carriers were found, ' [ ' he result was that the Artisan squad became one of the best in the city. The forward wall was sparked by Iaia, Somerland, Kearny, and Yasaki who proved themselves nuisances to the opposition at all times. Other lads who turned in stalwart performances on the front line were Church, Guiver, Grccnbcrg, Schaefer, and Easmer; also Bray, Leonard, Kirby and Boggins. The line at all times was an alert and fast charging one. In the backficld Manual possessed an all-around strong group. Nichols was brilliant with his passing, ball-handling and kicking. Foxcn was a splen- did line plunger and a dependable kicker. Scooncs did nicely with his porkhidc carrying along with Lewis who was always steady on both offense and defense. Adaza was outstanding along with Burdick at the quarter- back job. Baker also did a nice job before he was put on the injured list. 6 AT II LET ICS l( 7 CROSS COUNTRY Coach Snuffy Smith ' s leather lungers had a vcrv lean season this year. The main reason was that there were no returning lcttermcn on the squad. Most of the material that was finally scraped together to make the team, was from class B and C distance men, with the exception of Ed Cummings, one of last year ' s Cross Country men. Also a few of the boys who could not make the football team, and so, went out for the run- ning event. The two mainstays of the team were Jordan and Klombies, both from the class B r io, Jordan being a numeralman and Klombies just missing his letter. Both boys ran a very evenly matched race with a great deal of competition from Hanson, Cummings, Bandy, and a few of the others. Hanson was considered the runner that tried harder than any other, but lacked the speed and stride of Jordan and Klombies. The Manual Arts cross country course, which is up in the Baldwin Hills, is said to be the toughest two mile grind in the city. Two of Man- ual ' s meets were on their own course, while one was on the U. C. L. A. course and one on Montebello ' s. The season was very short for the reason that the weather made it impossible for some of the meets to be run. Coach Snuffy Smith, the one man track team from Oxy, is con- sidered by the boys one of the finest coaches at Manual, and it was a great privilege to run under his guidance. The captain of the team was Franklin Jordan and co-captain his friend Bruce Klombies. Possible lcttermcn are Franklin Jordan, Bruce Klombies, Jack Hanson, Ed Cummings, and Max Bandy. i68 THE ARTISAN W 39 LETTERMEN ' S SOCIETY The Lettercnen ' s society is one of the foremost clubs and is exclusive to fellows who have made letters in some varsity sport.

Its members back up all social affairs at the school and help pr inotc good sportsmanship in the school as a whole. Ray Marsh is president, Leon McCardle is vice president, Merideth McGcc is sergeant-at-arms, and Bob Sanchez is treasurer. Mr. Dixon is the sponsor. ATHLETICS 169 YELL LEADERS Upholding the age old tradition of the school with a lot of spirit the Manual yell leaders had a very successful season. Red Stern, head yell leader, and his able assistants Norman Jones, Bill Ilutchins, and Bob Sanchez seemed always to be on hand to bring the support of the student body to the struggling team on the gridiron. TOILER CLUB The Toiler Club is one of the numerous clubs which do so much for the good of the school. Their main duty is to handle some of the work for the ever busy staff of coaches, and to sec that even athletic event is run off properly. Their calendar for the term is a full one but they seem to find time to help put over the Lettermen ' s dance, the Rally Parade, and other school activities. Jim McMullen was the head of the club this term, with Bill Woods handling the varsity team and material.

A. at Manual Arts has always been to promote physical and mental efficiency, good sportsmanship, and high athletic standing. This term the girls attended two different plavdavs. The first was held at Gardena High and the second at Polytechnic High. As a climax to the social activities of the semester, the semi-annual G. A. A. Prom was held on December 9. in the girls ' gym. The dance, in an atmosphere of winter snow and icicles, was enjoyed by all. This successful term of the G. A. A. was sponsored by Miss Smith and Miss Miller. The officers of the term were: President. Ruth Wolfskill; vice-pres- ident, Barbara Coles; recording secretary, Josephine Lee; corresponding secretary, {Catherine Menashe; treasurer. Mildred Covle: managers, Ann McBridc and Milbrc Currv. i 7 2 THE ARTISAN W 39 As far back as the beginning of universal education, the Universitiej of Scotland have been of world renown and meeting some of the world ' s greatest Universities in their excellence. The Highlander himself has made the greatness of thsse schools by his thirst for knowledge. For cen- turies he has been forced to think for himself and this inquiring habit is natural to him. As was the case of most European schools, the beginning of the Scottish Universities was in the church. But they soon grew out of range of the church and separate schools were founded. The first great Univer- sities, the University of St. Andrews was founded in 1411. This followed in 1450 by the establishment of Glasgow University and King College at Aberdeen in 1494. But the largest and more economically important, the Universitv of Edinburgh, was not founded until 1 582. Each University has been outstanding in supplying some of the world ' s greatest people. St. Andrews and Aberdeen has specialized in the Science of Education while Edinburgh has specialized in the Science of Medicine. Consequently a great number of the world ' s great scientists are able to claim Edinburgh as their Alma Mater. One of these great men is Dr. Wm. Turner, now a professor of Anatomy at Edinburgh. One of the things which has made the University of Glasgow popular, outside of its administration, is the Carnegie Trust Fund. It is made up of 2,000,444 pounds and was established in 1901. Half of this amount is devoted to the equipment  nd the expansion of the University. The other half goes to assisting the students, who through some misfortune, have not been able to continue their education. One thing which is noticeable in all of the schools is the administration. The systems of government and teaching exist today in somewhat the same way they did when they were brought from France and adapted to the Scottish Universities. Of course there have been changes in the courses of study to meet the ad- vancing civilization and the changing world thought. But the actual au- thority has not altered once during the 500 years of existence. Wi.h all these admirable traits in the schools there is one thing which is more than of equal importance with the others and concerns the whole world. That is class prejudices. Unlike many of the other European schools today this does not exist in the north. For these great Univer- sities are open to rich and poor alike and everyone has the same chances. Surelv this alone would make for the greatness of the schools. 1 5 | 1 A S:. ; § ? 1 1 1 1 DRAMA- MUSIC it i | it ■ HI fO.V-.-y kVV. .- ■ ss .. . ■ L 74 THE ARTISAN W ' 39 THE GIRLS ' LYRIC CIUB If you have ever been in the vicinity of the music bungalows during period four, you have no doubt stopped to listen to the fine singing which comes from room three every day. If you inquire, you will find that this music is made bv the Girls ' Lyric Club, of more than sixty members, pre- paring for the many affairs in which it participates during the term. Since its founding eleven years ago, the Lyric Club has become one of the most important musical organizations at Manual Arts, and has built its pop- ularity on the motto, Good music, good friends, good times. The efficient officers who have guided the club through this most successful term have been Barbara Woodward, president; Antoinette Lon- go, vice-president; Janet Simpson, secretary; Katherine Kingsbury, treasurer; Betsy Meyers, student advisor; Marie Paschall, publicity; Elizabeth Boyle, historian; Clara Silvers, accompanist. Miss Ina M. Davis is sponsor and musical director af the club. BOYS ' AEOLIAN CLUB The Boys ' Aeolian Club, organized nine years ago has rounded itself into one of the finest, most spirited groups at Manual. Wearing the blue and gold is a privilege coveted by only those able to withstand the stiff competition for membership, the qualification be- coming more and more difficult with each school term. It is to be noted that the club activities are not restricted to the campus. Radio programs and stage appearances make up their full calen- dar. The social functions also included the semi-annual Aeolian-Lyric party with football as the theme and the Aeolian banquet which was attended by more than two hundred guests. Those responsible for guiding this great organization this term were: President, Russel Dow; vice-president, Bob Henry; secretary, Walter Wes- sell; treasurer. Jack Schram; librarian, Paul Lynn; historian, Andrew Aitkin; and publicity, Ed Whittington. Miss Mottem is the sponsor. The semester was concluded with change of officers and initiation of new members. A CAPPELLA CHOIR In a bungalow at the end of the campus, a fine group of sixty-seven Manualites, the A Cappella Choir, met daily this term at the pleasant occupation of singing. The aim of the organization is to be able to sing as an artistic unit without any instrumental accompaniment. The most important social event of this semester was a grand and hilarious Christmas party held in the cafeteria. The first public appearance of the club was in the Christmas Pageant. An evening concert in January climaxed the season. MUSIC AND D K A M A 75 Girls ' Lvric Club Aeolian Club A Cappella Choir 1 7 6 THE ARTISAN W 39 ORCHESTRAS For years we have had a high-grade orchestra of selected people play- ing classical music, called the Little Symphony, which makes frequent appearances in the auditorium. The Junior Orchestra provides a place for less experienced musicians to learn orchestral routine and is occasionally combined with the Little Symphony for public performances. The Voca- tional Orchestra studies modern arrangements. It has a modern instrumen- tation with saxophones forming a prominent part of the orchestra. From this orchestra is taken the dance band which plays at all school dances. The officers of the Little Symphony were; President Jim Shclton; vice-president, Allen Rogers; secretary, George Gregory; treasurer, Ernest Borlough. Officers of the Junior Orchestra were: President, Wilse Bean; vice-president, Bill Safier; secretary, Margie Kelly; treasurer, Elaine Kenne- dy. Mr. Killgrove directs all of these organizations. THE JUNIOR ORCHESTRA The Junior Orchestra under the direction of Mr. Killgrove is the train- ing ground for the younger and more inexperienced musicians at Manual. They are given practice in orchestral routine and receive preparation for a later entrance to the more advanced groups. Any student who can play an instrument is invited to join, thus providing opportunities for students of the instrumental classes to gain technical experience. Although the Junior Orchestra is fundamentally a unit in itself, it often combines with the Senior Orchestra to make public appearances. THE SENIOR ORCHESTRA The Senior Orchestra is composed of the more advanced musical stu- dents. The orchestra plaved at many of the assemblies in the auditorium, had active participation in the Christmas pageant, and performed in Bo- vard auditorium during the Highlander commencement. The Senior Orchestral group practices daily in the new auditorium, under the direction of Mr. Killgrove. They worked hard on symphonic music and on music bv our modern composers. VOCATIONAL ORCHESTRA Music for even- occasion. This is the motto of Manual ' s music de- partment. An example of this is the Vocational Orchestra which provides the student body with popular swing ' music whenever this type is de- manded. The Vocational Orchestra, this semester, played at all the school hops and dances, in the auditorium during several assemblies and also for as- semblies on the bleachers. This orchestra is smaller than the average and is composed of a group of highly selected students, many of whom belong to the other various musical organizations at Manual. Mr. Killgrove is the sponsor. MUSIC AND DRAMA 177 Vocations Orchestra String Quartette Senior Orchestra Junior Orchestra 178 THE ARTISAN W 39 BOYS ' JUNIOR GLEE The Boys ' Junior Glee meets daily, and any boy is invited to join, for there arc no trvouts required. Music appreciation credit for graduation is given to all who fulfill the requirements. Officers this term included; President, Don Wilier; vice-president, Ronnie Thomas; secretary-treasurer, Dick Fairbanks; librarians, Jay Payne and Jack Bussio. Miss Mottcrn is director and sponsor of the club. GIRLS ' JUNIOR GLEE Have you noticed the attractive mahogany colored note pins with green letters G.J.G. on them? These belong to the Girls ' Junior Glee Club which met period five this semester. The membership was practical!} all new girls but very enthusiastic and willing to contribute their part in stu- dent body activities as witnessed by their cntrv in the rally day parade and football singing. They also appeared for the P.T.A. and were heard caroling through the halls during Xmas season. The club has been under able guidance of the following officers: President, Lucille Carian; vice-president. Yukie Fujisaka; secretary, Virginia Young; librarians, Ellen Morrison and Fern Fletcher. Emma Sarfield was the accompanist, and Mrs. Madscn sponsor. MUSIC AND DRAM A 179 SENIOR AYE PLAY On the afternoon of December lg, and in the evening of December 20, the Highlander class presented their Senior Ave Plav in the auditor- ium. In The Shadow of the Rockies was an old fashioned melodrama in three acts. Together with the olio which followed, it was acclaimed the most original play Manual has ever staged. The cast for the play included: Chip Rose Bene Jim Gordon Johnny Mayo Julian Gray Harvey Hudson Jack Dalton Paul Polizoto Henrietta Betty Trailer Judge Thomson Ray Harryhousen Hank Williams William Greenfield Bud Harvey Teitzell Ned Davis Jack Wanvig Dennis Mulcahy George Weller Bcdelia O ' Raffcrty Georgia Longan Miss Edwards directed the entire production with Virginia Wcddle acting as student director.

A colorful word exemplifying unique attainment and including that intangible something representative of lasting value and immortality. A word conveying, above all. the im- presion of perpetual activity and limitless capacity for progress— one in which idleness plays no part. The Class of Winter ' 39, as it embarks on life, pledges to uphold this worthy heritage, never losing sight of the fact that in the struggle towards the top, each step forward must serve as an impetus to the next. There is no end, onlv the beginning of something far greater than any- thing known before. ■ . • --- s s -■ 1 B V m ' SCHOOL LIFE ' :■-: ..., ' II 11 II I I! ! 1 - r HE : m;j a .-.

A stretch of the Dee belongs to the manor of St. Mary ' s Isle. The custom of salmon poaching has prevailed since the most ancient times. This right is now practiced by the crown. In the middle of the Dee is a group of rocks which serves as an island. There is no bridge from the mainland to the rocks and the fishers must cross over to this refuge on planks a foot and a half wide and with only a rope to guide them. The net thrower prepares to fish. A grooved wooden implement is strapped to his right shoulder and in his hand he has a twenty foot pole, at the end of which is a big net. Swinging the net into the air he holds it in somewhat the manner of the javelin thrower and lets it fall into the torrent below him. To stand on the rocks above the roaring tumult at midnight watching the fisher silhouetted against the black sky and white rapids poising, flinging and then placing the great pole on the wooden shoulder groove and bring in the full net is a sight that no one can forget. But beware of the fisher who says, ' Tis a gran niche tae fish. D ' ye wish to cast the net? For nine times out of ten you and the net both will land in the Dec, unless vour fellow men know what is going to happen and prepare to catch you. For casting the net demands not only great muscular strength but also a skill that comes only from practice. A practiced fisher can tell in two casts whether there is a fish in the pool. This type of fishing is called yair fishing. Think of all the fishers in Scotland who pay hundreds of pounds for the pleasure of standing hours up to their waists in water and gallantly casting hour after hour with no avail. Then to those privileged few along the coast of the Dee who stand clubbing great salmon hour after hour with no possible effort. And vet the most dangerous place for any salmon is at the mouth of the Tweed at Berwick. Here great nets are dropped into the sea. There is a law which interrupts some of their fishing but not much. For they arc, bv law. allowed to keep their nets in water only twenty minutes. But they economize their time and get more fish by using two nets. The in- stant one is filled the other net is cast in. They fish until midnight, the fisher tired and drawn. Fisherman silhouetted against the pearl grav sea. Half a dozen men straining against the boat and lifting the huge net. Thus thev stand braced and unchanging against time, for the fisherman and o o o ploughman are the onlv two permanent figures in the world. i 9 4 THE ARTISAN W 39 HIGH IN THE PERUVIAN ANDES (continued from page 21 ) In the treasure room are manv beautiful articles of gold and silver, inlaid with precious stones; rubies, and emeralds and Brazilian diamonds. The Indian craftsmen made these under Spanish direction. The great fortress of the ancient Inca Empire, Saosahuaman, is on a hill about a half hour ' s ride up the canyon behind the town. This amazing piece of military engineering was old in Inca history long before the Spanish conquerors came into Cuzco. This fortress was impregnable to attack on all sides so that the Spanish were only able to take it by trickery, persuading the Indians that they had come peacefully and meant no harm. The feature of the fortress, a great circular plan of walls on the top of the hill, seems to represent an ancient place of worship and probably some type of astronomical observatory. It is divided into many rooms, large and small, and clever rock-hewn waterways can be seen running to various apartments. The fortress is surrounded by six remarkable walls. On the side toward the canyon, the wall comes straight up. On the side toward the town and toward a great parade ground the walls jut out in great tri- angular abutments which made it possible for Indian warriors to see an enemy from any direction. Many of the stones of this outer wall are twelve and fourteen feet high and six to eight feet in diameter. Inside this wall there are six other walls building up toward the great circular structure on the top of the hill. Across a flat parade ground on another hill and facing the fortress main seats have been carved in the living stone, working up to two great scats almost at the top with scats on either side just below them, probably for the members of the nobility. It would appear that this was the throne of the Inca Emperor and his court when they came to watch great state activities or festivities on the parade ground below, between them and the fortress. We walked from these rock-hewn scats down the other side of the hill and into still another canyon where we were shown what was sup- posed to be the baths of the Inca rulers. Built into the side of the hill was a series of niches and small rooms with a flow of water running down through them and stone pavements in front. This clear cold stream has been running since the days of the conquest. Nobody knows its source. And no one has been able to shut it off, unlike most of the other Inca waterways, which were blocked up or hidden when the Indians realized that the Spanish were attempting to destroy their fortress and city. Higher up the canyon arc still more evidences of the might and power of the ancient Inca civilization. The Indian of today is a short, rather squatty, hopeless looking individual used to hard work with little thought of any reward other than a bare living.

It rained part of the day and was cold and foggy as it is here in January and February. One afternoon when the sun was shining I took a street car, and for three cents rode halfway across the city to the Plaza D ' ltalia Zoo, and botanical garden. For another small coin, along with many mothers and children, I was admitted to the great gardens that contain animals from all over the world. The first thing the children did was to beg for rides on the saddle ponies and especially on a tame llamas. One round-faced two year old liked his ride so well that he howled lustily when the attendant took him out of the saddle. From here I walked through the avenues, past wide enclosures of deer, llamas, camels, by the elephant house and the monkey cages. I had never seen so many varieties of monkeys, nor such big, uglv, fierce ones. There were also many varieties of the large cat fam- ily and a whole house of bears and zebras. The animals all seemed to be contented and well cared for in surroundings that attempted as far as pos- sible to imitate their natural habitat. Flitting about the grounds were many varieties of birds and almost un- der foot were several kinds of ducks, geese, pheasants, herons, and flam- ingoes. These were crowded along the banks of a small stream that wound through the park. Rounding a curve of some tall trees, I came upon an immense wire cage about three stories high, with the floor space of a good- sized house. There was a high jagged pile of rocks in the center, together with several barren trunks of trees. Perched all about were great birds, the condor of the Andes, some grey, some black. As the afternoon got colder and I began to think of the pleasant hotel and tea time, I hurried along near the giraffe enclosure. He evidently was hungry too, for he stared at me a minute, then came galloping across the paddock, and for all I could see, in one leap those great awkward front legs and heavy hooves would tramp me down. He came to the very edge of the low hedge, then swerved to the far corner. What I could not see was a deep concrete ditch just behind the hedge. As I backed hastily, I bumped into a large grev bird, the emu, walking along the path. He gave me a hard peck on the shoulder as if to say watch your step, and went on about his business. When a small boy laughed, I recovered my composure and edged over toward the enclosure to watch Mr. Giraffe put on his show for the kids. With his little ears pointed forward, he eyed them for a moment, stood on his hind legs, then came plunging toward them. They backed with squeals of laughter as he swerved and galloped to the far side. This time he acted like a young colt bucking, kicking and prancing, whirl- ing to land at the other side in three great gallops. How the huge animal with his so-long neck, bulging knees, and clumsy legs managed to stay in- side his enclosure was amazing. At times he came so near the edge of the ditch that I gasped. After an especially acrobatic stunt he would stop to breathe and look us over to see how we were taking it. FEATURES 197 Coach Blcwctt and Family FAREWELL is a word often lightly uttered and readily forgotten. But Farewe when it marks the rounding off and completion of a chapter in life; the severance of tics many and cherished; of the parting with many friends at once; it sticks somewhat in the throat. We hope you are not going away empty-handed or alone, but freighted and laden with happy memories- inexhaustible and unalloyed— of Manual Arts, its warm hearted people, and their measureless kindness. Coach, your fame, modesty, and devotion to your work is dear to us all. As with the drowning man, your past is telescoped into a minute, and the stages are all here at once in our minds. The dav before vesterdav you were at college studying education; were a blacksmith ' s apprentice; all around athlete. Yesterday you entered Manual as athletic instructor. Your record of welding champions is expressed in storv. Today you leave us. Standing with chin up, hands clasped behind your back and wearing a brown leather jacket. That ' s how we will remember you, coach. And when success perched upon our portals, when the T-O-I echoed the final notes of a football victory, your casual word of nice goin ' Manual gave us a thrill which will never be forgotten. Jim Blcwctt, you can never leave Manual. Our best wishes will follow you wherever you go, or whatever you do. Farewell, friend. 198 THE ARTISAN W ' 39 CAFETERIA For the first time since the earthquake. Manual students now dine with a roof over their heads. The new cafeteria, finished this term, gives this opportunity. It resembles the other buildings in architecture and color and is air conditioned. It contains a student ' s dining room which seats four hundred people. It also houses a faculty dining room, to accommodate seventy teachers at one time. A hash line on the outside gives students the opportunity to purchase their food and eat out in the sun or under a roof. Mrs. Helen Johnson heads the kitchen crew of seven members, and keeps things running along smoothly. The big kitchen is airy and spotlessly clean, with all of the most mod crn conveniences. Sixty students help in the cafeteria during the noon hour in return for their lunches. The Manual student body of today and their successors may well be proud of a grand new building, the best in the city. FEATU RE 199 ALBERT E. WILSON HALL Started during Dr. Wilson ' s last term the summer of 1938 and terminated under the supervision of our new principal, Mr. Honn, Albert E. Wilson Hall is now occupied by classes and teachers. Although resembling the other buildings in architecture, Wilson Hall surpasses them in many ways. The building is soundproof, which is prob- ably the best improvement. Mustard yellow and Chinese red is the color scheme carried out in the halls. These two colors are very striking together. A restful green is the prevailing color in all the classrooms and each room has ample cupboard space. The oral English rooms have stages in front for the future orators and dramatists to practice on. Trough lights are the main feature of the big, airv study hall. A mov- able stage is also one of its highlights. A new feature of the building is a radio antenna on the roof, which enables the different rooms to tunc in on different programs at one time. On the first floor there arc three classrooms, two workrooms, two oral English rooms and a study hall. On the upper floor there are ten class- rooms and four workrooms. Conycnience and simplicity are the theme of the new building and Manual Arts has much to be proud of in Albert E. Wilson Hall. 200 THE ARTISAN W 39 EPHEBIANS The Highlander Class of Winter 1930. and faculty of Manual Arts High School chose eleven students whose character, leadership, and schol- arship are notablv high to represent them as Ephcbians, the highest honor that can be conferred upon any high school graduate. The Winter ' 39 Ephebians are as follows: Janice Beavon, Man ' Bed- rosian. Lido di Sano, Audrey Dyer, Lois English, Earl Friedin, Jean Gray- son, Coleman Jenkins, Jim Pitts, Bonnie Jean Rydcll, George Weller. EPHEBIANOATH We will never bring disgrace to this our city, by any act of dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever desert our suffering comrades in the ranks; we will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city, both alone and with many; we will revere and obey the city ' s laws and do our best to incite a like re- spect in those above us, who arc prone to annual or set 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. This is a translation of the oath which ancient Athens required of its young men to take when they became Ephebians. The Ephebians consti- tuted a distinct official order, recognized and honored by the state and re- garded bv the people as the hope and pride of Athens. F E A T U R E S 201 THE TOURIST IN SCOTLAND By Grayce Van Tress A most likely entrance into Scotland would probably be that of the country ' s largest waterway, the river Clyde. Here we encounter a scene that leaves us agape because of its greatness— the famous shipyards of the river Clyde. From her docks have been released some of the greatest ships including the Queen Man. today the world ' s most magnificent ship. Sailing up the river Clyde the first stroke of historic association comes to us at Dumbarton Rock, the fascinating spot which brings to memory Scotland ' s most daring chicftan and human hero, William Wallace and his betrayal. Before long we have arrived at our first stopping place in Scotland; Glasgow. The harbors of Glasgow arc thronged with vessels from all parts of the world all the year round. Of course we must not fail to go to the Art Museum and the Cathedral of St. Mungo, the most complete Gothic building in Scotland. Our main side trip from Glasgow is a visit to the home of Robert Burns, the country ' s most beloved poet, in the little town of Avr. More than 30,000 people go to Ayr annually to pay homage to him. The quaint town has cherished its old world atmosphere as a tribute to the poet who brought it fame. Also in Avr is the original Tarn O ' Shanter Inn that Burns made famous through his enlivening lines of Tarn and his wild imaginings. Back in Glasgow we board the steamer again and follow along the river Clyde ' s course until we reach the region of the Scottish lakes, the country of the Trossachs. Of all the places of interest in Scotland more tourists go to visit the Trossachs than any other one place. This prob- ably is due in part to Sir Walter Scott, who by the aid of his pen alone, made this section famous in his Lady of the Lake. The world is indebted to him for making the history and beauties of Scotland so well known. To arrive at the Trossachs it is ncecssarv first to take a train to Ban- nockburn, which brings to the traveler ' s memory the history of Wallace ' s predecessor. Robert Bruce, who here had his greatest victory. Then we proceed up the Loch Lommond by boat, and who has not heard of the bonnic banks of Loch Lommond, the Queen of the Scottish Lochs. This span of 2, miles has as its chief glorv a ruggedness and majesty that is overpowering in its appeal. By way of the Highlands we make the return trip to Glasgow. 202 T H E ARTISAN W 39 As another side trip from Glasgow we take a northern route and go to Oban. This is. we discover, just a fishing village that has grown from tourist trade. But the excursions taken from Oban to the Sacred Isles, are the main reasons for our journey. Here, on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean they rise to demand a visit from us. Iona and Staffa make up the Isles; of distinct importance for history is Iona; for scenery, is Staffa. We learn that the unique history of Iona centers about Columba, a missionary who erected a monastery here, which was for centuries a monu- ment of learning and religion. Even more impressive is the fact that for more than a thousand years, chieftains and kings of Scotland and Ireland were buried here. The natural phenomena of Staffa bring us and other travelers from all over the world to view them. It strikes us as almost absurd in its pictur- esque effect of angles, parallels, and vertical lines. Then we gaze unbe- lievingly at one of the most extraordinary features of the island, the gigan- tic cavern called Fingal ' s Cave, which has been immortalized in music by Mendelssohn. It rises in an inspiring arch of sixty-five feet above the waves. John L. Stoddard best described it as a temple fashioned by Almightv God to give man a model for his noblest shrines. Coming back to Oban with the unbelievable expression still in our eyes after this excursion, we proceed to take a boat up the Loch Linnhe and Loch Ness until we arrive at Inverness, in the northern part of Scot- land. While we are on the Loch Ness we are told the tale of a sea serpent that is supposed to exist: Some feel certain as to its existence. Arriving at Inverness, a Highland city, wc discover it to be a lively place of bright gables and gay streets. And as Inverness is also a center for many tours, we take a likely one to Aberdeen, the city of gray granite. We find when the fog lifts and the sun comes out it shines on the buildings and looks like diamonds and other precious jewels. Aberdeen is also a leading port and fishing center, a thriving manu- facturing town and one of Scotland ' s finest holiday resorts. From Aberdeen we take a motor coach to Braemar. This is where the clans from all Scotland hold their ancient festival and reunion every year. The sport events and games between the clans are still played. By train we travel to Edinburgh, the next likely route. From the city of Edinburgh wc overlook the sea. glimpse the neighboring mountains and get an insight of the beginning of its development as an ancient fort- ress. The city is deeply rooted in association of legend and history which wc salute as romance. Scottish art and culture have ccnturcd here, modern architecture is admired in the National Gallery and the Royal Scottish Academv. the noble War Memorial, various monuments, and the long terrace of Princes Street, which ranks among the finest highways in Europe. And Robert Louis Stevenson, author of Treasure Island, went to school at Edinburgh Academy. FEATURE 203 It was here too that Burns found fame and Scott was born, facts that the city is deeply proud of. Edinburgh ' s monument to Sir Walter Scott has been acclaimed as the noblest tribute to any literary genius that the world possesses. A few hours ' journey from Edinburg leads us to the impressive but deserted ruin, Melrose Abbey. This work of art, although constructed over seven hundred years ago, might still be standing in its entirety, had not man destroyed it through his incomparable wars. Another few hours ' drive brings us to Abbotsford, the home of Scott. Here on a scenic terrace he built an enormous castle that became his pride and joy as it was his own creation. Before leaving Scotland, being in search of mountainous beauty, we do not fail to enter the mountains of Glencoc. Immediately we feel their grandeur to be one of the oddest and most fascinating in the world, not because of their height, nor for their wavclike masses, but because of the grand effect produced by the ever changing clouds, which east illumined reflections unsurpassed anvwhere. But like everything else that is wonderful it must sometime end. As the tourist finds himself leaving Scotland, sailing down the river Clyde, he happily reflects the land of beauty and sentiment, and recollects its his- tory, heroism, and romance with a feeling that he has gained something that he will never lose— a richer understanding of another land and its people. ■ 2o 4 T HE ARTISAN W ' 39 FOLK LORE Underneath the veneer of the most practical Scot you will find a race of mystics and dreamers. They are, in the truest sense, a very religous people. But their religion is not a thing of warring creeds. It goes far be- yond that— back into the dark and distant ages, before John Knox and the Reformation and even before the coming of St. Columba. Their folk lore heritage proves it. Every race has its folk lore; superstitions and mysteries in some degree, but among the Celts the degree is far higher than among any other race. It is from their Celtic ancestors that the Scots take most of their superstitions, ancient beliefs, tales of warlocks and kelpies— their daft streak and their love of the macabre and the awesome. Among all the Scottish beliefs concerning births there is one which is particularly their own. That the seventh child of the seventh child will grow up to be fay or at least no canny. A child born at midnight or in the wee small hours will turn out to be different or in later life show signs of some peculiar brilliance of intel- lect. An example of this belief is that of the life of their National Poet Burns, for he was born in the very early hours. When a child is born he is always taken upwards, never down. If he was born on the first floor of a house he is carried to the second floor or roof or attic. If this cannot be done a chair is placed just outside the door and the person earning the child steps first on a box then higher to chair. From birth to death is not a very broad jump, at least for the Scot, for to them, death docs not hold the fears it does for some other folks. An old Celtic belief— still current in Scotland, not only there but in Wales and Brittany— has it that when a man meets death in a foreign land, his spirit returns home by the underground fairy way— The Low Road. An interesting story connected with this belief is: In 1745, during the retreat of the Scottish Armv following its invasion of England left quite a few of its number wounded at Carlisle. Many of them fell into the hands of the English and were put to death. The song Bonnie Bank O ' Loch Lomond which was undoubtedly written at this time, tells the story of two Scottish prisoners. One was released and would take the High Road home to Scotland, while the other, who was to be executed, would take the Low Road. As the release of one and the death of the other was to take place at the same time, the dead, travelling the Low Road would naturally be in Scotland before the released prisoner, who had to travel the many miles of the High Road.

Grayce Van Tress, my assistant editor, helped me in my efforts of lay- out of the pages of the book and corrected much of the copy first-hand and in proof form. She is largely responsible for the merit of the Story and Verse section. Mildred Templer, my most able organization editor, collected all of the write-ups of the organizations and clubs. If at any time there was a write-up or storv missing, Mildred could write it or have it written in a hurry. She did much writing for this book. Elmer Perluss, sports editor, had his material in to us long before it was due. If you examine the sports section I think you will enjoy the style and content. If Elmer did need some help, Sara Lennox and Don Reedcr could be depended upon. Margaret Ulschaeffer, feature editor, wrote most of the section plate stories. She demonstrated her skill in composing articles and drawing clear pictures of various phases of the lives of the Highlanders. Corine Jones did the Highlander history, a big task, alone, and much extra work such as an interview with Manual ' s principal, Mr. Honn, and the Finis. Elizabeth Mills patiently covered school life all through the long win- ter term. She was ever cheerful and courteous and eagerly did she do a hard task well. Misao Natsumeda, humor editor, a fine and helpful member of the staff, furnished jokes for the humor section. She helped in many parts of the work on the book. As advertising manager. Bob Yazloff did a rapid and satisfactory job getting the senior pictures made, collecting dollars for them and then he added to that by getting ads out of the depressed merchants for the High- lander Artisan. THE LAST WORD 213 Jack Manning, art editor, started off with a bang, getting a late start but with the help of the art department finished the section plates and end sheets just on time. Tak Shigaki did the lettering throughout the book and drew the de- sign for the cover. Margaret Waltz did artistic illustrations in our book where speed was most urgent. A division plate and poem are also highly appreciated con- tributions. She was the artist member of our staff classes. Mr. Hansen, our adviser, helped with the things that I did not know about and looked over all copv, pictures and arangements for the book. Typeseting, paging, and locking of type forms were handled by the printing classes. Advanced students also assisted with the prcsswork. All bindery operations, from folding, case making, stamping, and binding were done by the classes in bindery. The arduous item of trimming the books was done mostly by the five printing students who work the heavy power cutter. Credit is due to Mr. Cagle, Artisan photographer, for the fine pic- tures that came to me assorted and arranged just as I needed them. To the students who handed in story and verse material for the Ar- tisan I should like to express my appreciation for their cheerful cooperation in our effort to get good material. To Florence Kinscv goes first prize for the best story handed in to us. She will receive a pair of white porcelain book ends designed as swans by Mrs. Martin ' s classes. Clifford Bavant will receive a door stop for the second prize story. This prize too was made here at school by pupils in Mrs. Martin ' s clay art classes. We owe them a big vote of thanks for their fine spirit in contributing these fine awards. 214 THE ARTISAN W 39 All the credit for this new binding goes to Mr. Reeder and his boys, lie kept the students in bindery on the job until it was done perfectly. To the printers and binders goes my heartfelt thanks. I understand how they feel as I have worked with them for three years on the past Arti- sans. A great fellow was Ed. Whittington. He not only took most of the pictures but also wrote the farewell to Coach Blewett. To Mr. Woods and his staff go my thanks for making the pictures as I needed them. Mr. Neiderwerfer cut out the openings in the plaids for the senior plates. He was the only one who could accomplish this and I am much in- debted to him. I am grateful to the daily reporters who have helped in all necessary publicity for this Artisan edition. Finally let me thank the commercial department for their expeditious handling of all matters pertaining to the successful sale of the W ' 39 Artisan. As for myself, my cheerful assistants have made my task that of keep- ing all parts of the work going, of rearranging the book divisions and plac- ing all text and pictures in their proper place and order a very pleasurable experience. Thanks for all the kindliness shown at all times.
