To face new and e ' er changing problems in the North West Territories of Canada with their thousands of square miles of dangerous patrol called only the hardiest and ablest of men to the Mounted Police. The Indian and Eskimo have learned respect for the white man ' s law and have accepted police administration in every need, whether of food or of health, in forest or game preservation. Illicit liquor dealers and traders have found life hard, and criminals enjoy no rest in Canada. There is peace and order in Canada, and th e names of the small body of Royal Canadian Mounted Police who have kept it are indelibh ' written into historv as one of the finest contributions to the progress of man. The Class of W ' 40 is indeed fortunate to have as a class name the organization of the famous Ro al Canadian Mounted Police.

G 517-5 5th December, 1939, To the 1940 Graduating Class, Manual Arts High Scriool, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. Through your Principal, Mr. Floyd Roberts Honn and Miss Cherlotte Gogue , I desire to extend hearty congratulations to all the students who are successful in graduating from the Manual Arts High School during the winter of 1940. I trust that all graduates, irrespective of whether they go into business life or to University, or elsewhere, will make an earnest effort to adhere to the high ideals which have been held before them during training at the Manual Arts School. To all of you who attend that School, including the graduates of 1940, I should like to emphasize that if we are earnest in our en- deavours, we shall find that we reqlly never leave school, and the efforts which have been spent upon you in the past, and those which you all have made personally, are simply a means to an end to assist you in keeping to the right bourse in the larger school of life later on. Your teachers and friends hope you will be able to take success with humility, and what is just as important, to accept obstacles and hindrances, and even failures, with a quiet resolve that these have come your way in order that you may overcome them. Finally, to all the students and teachers at the Manual Arts, High Sciiool, at Los Angeles, I send best wishes for your future prosperity. Sine erely S.T. Wood, Comiiissioner , R.C .1.1. Police. S.

There are two principles that stand out in the code of the Ro al Canadian Mounted Police. One is written and the other is unrecorded. Both of these prin- ciples are ne er broken no matter if it ma mean the life or death of the constable. Being the first principle and the one that is written, prohibits the Mount from drawing first. The second law, the unwritten code is what has made the Ro al Canadian Mounted Police the organization that it is today. It ma mean months and years of hardships but onh ' through death .shall the Mount ' fail to get his man. Officers of the Royal Mounted ha e ested in them the responsibility of patrolling and protecting life and propert - in millions of square miles of property. This property lies between the Rocky Mountains and the Keewatin District on the shores of the Hudson Bay and from the United States-Canadian border line to the Arctic Ocean. The responsibility of patrolling this territory- is but a part of their york. In many cases the care of the sick or the injured falls to them There are records that tell of the yaliant service done by these men of the north. Man ' a time an entire Indian yillage during an epidemic has been under the care of the Mounty. In remote districts up toward the Arctic Circle, the deli en- of the mail falls upon the Mounted Police. They are also foresters, doing all possible in preyenting loss by fire, and fighting them when the break out. Time and time again the Mount ' has sacrificed his life in the protection of the ast timber area. It is during the times of danger that the mounted police prove their courage, for no matter what the odds are ag.iinst them the will do all that is humanh ' possible in the preser ation of human life. These men are not always mounted police, for if it w.rn ' t for their dogs and sleds it would be impossible to patrol these sections of the uorLiiland. With their snowshoes, and their dog teams and sleds, the police enturj into faraway Indian and Eskimo villages, rarely entered by white men. These men of the northwest, whose dauntless courage in guarding life and property, proctecting the weak and assisting everxone, are hailed today as the greatest body of men in an constabnlar organization in the world. o GmymM i6 THE ARTISAN W 40 THE PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE To The Mounties— By choice, the winter class of 1940 has become the namesake of as brave and courageous a group as was ever organized for the promotion of the welfare of mankind. It is not possible here to describe in detail the many fine achieve- ments of the mounted police. Theirs is a record replete with unparalleled exploits romanticalh- achieved, of faithfulness to their ideals, devotion to duty, indomitable perseverance and undving lovalty. The history of the organization in an incontrovertible tribute to the worth- whileness of discipline and of dc ' otion to a cause, so much so that the very name Mounties has become svnon mous with law and order over a half of a continent. Knit together as thev are by tradition and common ideals the Mounted Police form the perfect example of what a few stout-hearted men can do. The winter class of 1940 has done well to symbolize their hopes and ambitions by choosing the name of such a group for their class. California, America, and the world are drastically in need of young men and young women who will do today for America what the Mounties have done for the Northwest. The Mounties have succeeded not because of material prosperitv, not because of superior weapons or superior equipment, not because they have been surrounded with those material benefits which enable one to live comfortablv and at ease. Thev have succeeded because they are determined to do so. Nothing has been able to swerve them from the path where duty called. Hardships, disappointments, and self-sacrifice all have been cheerfully endured whenever thev helped the cause. In many respects the world of tomorrow is like the great unsurveved wilder- ness of the Northwest. The future of that tomorrow is dependent upon the calibre of the ' Oung men and the oung women in our high schools todav. The worid has need of young people with the idealism that motivated the Mounties of Canada. Self-sacrificing dc otion of the t pc which Mounties ga ' e to their country and to their cause will produce just as richly in the world of tomorrow as it has produced in the worid of the past. The greatest wish of the principal is that the members of the winter class of 1940 will find in the inspiration which the name Mounties has brought to them; hope, faith, and courage with which to face the future as the Mounties have done. There can be no doubt as to the result where the future is faced in such a manner. Floyd R. Ilonn, Principal. ORGANIZATIONS 17 Mr. Honn, Principal of Manual Arts High School THE ARTISAN W ' 40 GIRLS ' ' ICE-PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE To The Mountie Class: Tlie Ro al Canadian Mounted Police has taken a unique part in the drama of Canadian histon-. and is famous throughout the world for its achievements in establishing law and order over so vast and difficult a territor ' as the Great Canadian ' est. You know the tales of courage and sacrifice that characterize their record. In emulating such an organization. ou can be proud of ' our high school record and hopeful for a splendid future. Jessie Ra - Hanna. ORGANIZATIONS 19 BOYS ' ' ICE-PRINCIPALS MESSAGE To The Mountic Glass: The Mountics are famous for their character, honor, perseverance, keen sense of justice and determination to blot out the lawless element. There is no doubt that ou have chosen as our ideal a group of men who can well be emulated. In this unsettled world of todav, we need men and women who have these ideals, and are willing to stand against any odds for what they know is right. Remember that vour character and ideals are worth more than money can buy. The Mounties are famous, not because of their power or wealth, but because of their true character. May I wish you success in accepting and maintaining these high ideals. Otto E. Buss. 20 T H E A R T I S A N W ' 4o THE MANUAL ARTS FACULTY Floyd R.

Manv different authors have published this term, providing a wide variety of fiction. The criticisms of the Spec this term have been more pointed and have discovered the actual weaknesses of stories better than has been done in several terms. 32 THE A R T I S A N W ' 40 MANUAL ARTS KNIGHTS One of the liighest hcncn a l oy ean attain while at Manual is that of being selected as a Knight.

Numerons changes were anticipated in the Force e en before Major General Macbrien assumed command, but few people had expected such a period of expansion and development. Commissioner Macbrien knew that the pace of of modernization had quickened, that crime, rapidly becoming more highly organized, must be fought remorselessly by land, sea, and air, that the da ' of the scientific police force had definitely come, and that to meet the need, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police must be equipped with, and trained in the use of, every device for fighting crime that science and engineering had made available. Macbrien bent all his efforts to this end and the new regime went into effect with the absorbtion, by the P ' orce, of the pro incial police forces of Nova Scotia, Manitoba, and New Brunswick, and the Pre entive Service of the Department of National Revenue. This Preventive Service was soon re-assembled as the Marine Section of the R. C. M. P. In 1932 this section comprised 28 patrol boats of all sizes and types. Even with this dearth of equipment the Force patrolled a total of 270,000 miles, seized nineteen rum runners and rendered in aluable assistance to a number of boats in distress. The main efforts of this preventive oraanization were to curb the smugglers and rum-runners. Since the majority of the smuggling was done by boat and the law breakers used fast, powerful craft, the Mounties were forced to modernize greatly. However, with diligence and initiative much can be accomplished and the Marine section became second to none as a unit to enforce the law in the waters surrounding His Majesty ' s dominion. Efficiency and still more efficicnc ' , intensi ' c training of recruits, higher stand- ards of education, increased use of scientific squipment, these were the Force ' s watchwords. Tremendous strides were made in the process of mechanization which although invoh ' ing departures from many cherished traditions, had to be done if the Royal Canadian Mounted Police was to retain its position as one of the foremost police groups in the world. Not content v ith pursuing criminals by land and sea, a new element, the air entered in the war against crime. The Aviation Section was formed in Toronto and renders marvelous service in patrolling vast areas and covering long distances swiftly. For use in detection work the Force has a scientific Laboratory with exceed- ingly modern equipment, manned b ' a corps of highh- trained experts. All these segments go to form the whole, which is a very modernized, effic- iency plus organization, and if Canada merits the distinction of being among the most law-abiding countries in the world it is due in part to the earnest efforts of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who are, day by day, engaged in maintain- ing the law and authority of the Government from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the United States border to within a few hundred miles of the North Pole.

We, the lowlv scrubs, were destined to become the Mighty Mountie class W ' 40 of Manual Arts. At the end of our Bio term we had become a little better acquainted and more united, as a result we held an election for class officers. After a close battle Tom Baker became president; Bernicc Maker, vice president; and Helen Jones, secretar). During our B and An terms, this cabinet remained in office with Phil Acker taking Berniee ' s place when she left school. Throughout our first two ears we built a strong foundation on class spirit, aggressi eness, abilit ' to cooperate, and a general all-around good attitude which was to stand us in good stead in times to come. In our B12 term we choose Twav Andrews to be president, Marjorie Hastings, girls ' vice president; Phil Acker, boys ' vice president; Helen Jones, secretary; and Gino Di Sano, treasurer. On a bright sunn - da in April, we first gave birth to our military type sweaters. The were the first of their kind to be worn on a Manual Arts ' campus and were well-received bv the student bod ' . Due to our nervous state we lost a hard fought battle to the Tahitians with the final score being 3-2. At the Senior Hop Twav sang the war chant with great gusto and fun was had by all. The Senior Bee picnic at Exposition Park was a huge success as was the Prom held sometime later. Beginning our Senior Aye term we had for student body officers, Tom Baker, president; Marge Hastings, girls ' vice president; Gino Di Sano boys ' vice president; and Helen Jones, secretar -. In the Senior Class we had Tway Andrews, president; Joe Allala, bo s ' vice president; Martha NN ' hinery, girls ' vice president; Eleanor Aiken, secretan-; and Richard Cordano, treasurer. With renewed vigor we set out to beat the wee Biz ' s on Senior Day. but once again something went amiss and we sank beneath a score of 4-1. With juct a trace of a qui er again Tway sang the other class song at the Senior Hop. Our Senior Aye picnic was held at Centinela Park and we are still awaiting our Prom at the writing of this document. It would seem fitting, however, to mention at this point a few of our outstand- ing A12 students. In the sport field we find Mickey MeCardle, Andy Aitken, George Prince, Tom Baker, Bob Keyte, and many others. In track there are such speed demons as Andy Aitken, Charles Gross, Norman Wilson, and Mickey MeCardle. Manual will greatly miss Tway Andrews and Howard Ingram in basketball while the golf team will suffer the loss of Harry Munden and Lorn Thompson. In the tennis field the Mountie graduation takes Cari Earn and Jean Feigenbaum. In the artistic field we find Nat Berman, a talented cartoonist, to be one of the missing in ' 40 and the Aeolian Club will have a hard time filling the gap left bv Aitken, Baker, Allala, L nn, Beckman, Schram, and many more. 82 T H E A R T I S A N W ' 40 Our future Gables and Garbos are tliose splendid aetors and actresses in the Cat and the Canarv, namch ' , Margie Green, Larry Kilty, Bob Stimson, Don Motter, Bill Stone, Bett Steuckert, Eddie Shea, and Lee Snitzer, and there is still the cast for the Senior Play. Those striving to be prominent orators are sueh outstanding personalities as Marion Kelsey, Betty Steuckert, Georgia Chapralis, Phil Acker, Phil Cunningham, Jack Goehring, and many more. The eommeneement platform is their aim and as only one bov and one girl can be chosen we have yet to know who they are. Such prominent offices as the Scholarship president, were ably filled by Jack Schram, the Daily editorship, Georgia Chapralis (only the second girl to have this position) George Prince, the presidency of the Knights, Bill Bluroek, boys ' judge, and Dot Mahr, giris ' judge. At last we have come to the end of the line with onh one more important accomplishment to be named, the honor projects, an announcement of which will be made at commencement time. Now it comes time to say goodbye and it is with tcarfilled eve and a huskv voice that we do so. No one realh ' knows the empty feeling a once mighty Senior has when he realizes that he is lea ing all his happy, care-free days behind to go into a world unknown. We hope we have left as man friends as we have happv memories and expect to see vou again next Homecoming. SENIOR AYE SONG Tune: Oh Bra c Old Army Team Hail to our Mountic Class United we are.

And waited for the bugle eall. Canada, young and uncivilized, called them. Called their vouth and courage. And she named these men . . . The Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Canada was a wilderness. With rivers deep and plains vast. Where Redskins roamed, wild and untamed. And whiskev-runners. Grew wealthy with greed. Where mountains were dangerous to cross. And prairies wild and stormy. And still these men came through. Yes, the first year was hard. How many were lost, or starved, or killed By wolves, how many lie buried in long forgotten snows? Yes, these men have conquered. Canada is a great nation. Great, because these men died willingly and bravely. Willingly that she might be so. Bravely because she was their country. SENIORS 85 ROYAL CANADIAN MOUNTED OFFICER, JASPER NATIONAL PARK 86 THEARTISANW ' 4o KLONDIKE GOLD RUSH Bv Jack Goehring Gold! A magic word that holds a strange fascination for the human race, and has greatly affected the lives of men and destiny of mankind. With the possession of gold men lose sight of their dreams and ideals, forget their friends, families, homes, business, and change from sane, rational, human be- ings to grasping, greedy lunatics. Murder and robbery, and the lesser vices, gambling and drinking, seem to be the birthrights of a gold rush town, and these are what the Northwest Mounted Police had to contend with in the camps along the Klondike trail. In addition to their law-enforcement activities the Mounties had nearly a full time job playing nurse-maid to the Chcechakos or tenderfeet. These inexperienced and unhardened strangers to the Northland had been greatly misled. Under the impression that it was merely a matter of a few hours ' work to scrape up enough nuggets to fill a gunny sack, the uninitiated swarmed into the gold territories, presenting a problem heretofore unknown to the Mounties. The gold seekers ' fervor rose as they reached Dyea. They were nearing the scene of fabulous wealth! Onl ' a few hundred miles more! But these few hundred miles far overshadowed the many hundreds preceding them. Despite the prevalence of gold in Dawson the town never attained the wild- ness of earlier camps in the States. Even when they crossed the Chilcoot pass the hardships had hardly begun. There were boats to build, rapids to run, and portages to make. Many lives were lost in the stampede of ' q8. Undeniably the Mounties saved man ' a tenderfoot from the fury of the ele- ments. All Chcechakos were compelled to register upon passing a police way station, and if lost, a search party was sent out, often arriving just in time to arouse the unfortunate victim from that langorous, sleepy sensation so closely preceding death by freezing. Even in prc-boom days thievery was practically unknown. A man ' s possessions were sacred and the latch strings on unlocked cabin doors always hung out for visi- tors. Later, when Dawson had a population of 10,000, the Royal Northwest Moun- ted Police always had the situation well in hand, and complicated cases were settled in a few hours. Mereh a few words from one of those scadct-coatcd soldiers of peace quieted the worst of bad men. Upon the arrival of a bad man whose record was known, he was informed that . fighting with fists was permissible but resorting to kni cs or guns would land him in the lockup. When he realized the futilit - of escape from such an isolated country he usualh heeded the Mountic ' s warning. The extreme cold may have subdued the carousers to some extent but the Mounted was the greatest pacifying agent. I ' he Ro al Northwest Mounted Police did magnificent work in o ercoming nearly insurmountable obstacles and bringing law and order to the Klondike. THE ARTISAN W o 87 88 THE ARTISAN V 40 JUNIOR FORUM The Junior Forum was organized so that k) ver grade students could have n chance to meet and discuss problems of the da -. This organization got off to a com- mendable start at the beginning of the semester. Trv-outs, in the form of prival:e in- terviews, were held at the beginning of the term and were er - successful. As usual this ha en for public minded lower grade students met every Monda - after school, from it came the sound of customarv team debates, open forums, and debate forums, wherein the members were in ited to join either of the two opposing sides of a debatable subjcct.The latter t pe was e.xtremeh ' popular and was used for the second time in the historv of the Forum. The Forum, which boasted fift ' members, enjoved a crv memorable term un- der the able guidance of Miss Johnson, the adviser, and the cabinet, composed of Ben Susman, president; Bob Woods, bovs ' vice-president; Marilyn Epperson, girls ' vice-president; Leah Butman; secretary; and Jean Borelli, treasurer.

PHYSICS CLUB, HOME ECONOMICS CLUB 94 THEARTISANW ' 4o PROTECTING FORESTS AND WILD LIFE By Jack Goehring The resource and sagacih of the Mountics is seemingly limitless. In addition to discouraging the lawless, they act as guardians of the forests and wild life of Canada. Usually the work of preventing poaching and arson in the national parks, forests, and game preserves is delegated to a special bodv of men called rangers. Such is the case in the United States, but our northern neighbor ' s natural assets are protected by these same men who defend the civic security of the people of Canada. The land of the Maple Leaf is, in most parts, thickh ' covered with magnifi- cent stands of timber. These heavily wooded areas are a delight to the campers who despair when ha ' ing to camp on barren ground. These same campers however, although glor)ing in the huge forests of Canada, do absolutely nothing to preserve them, but instead seem determined to see them destroyed through carelessness. It is common knowledge that the overpowering majorit ' of disastrous forest fires are caused bv ' thoughtlessness and utter disregard of fire laws and pre ' entive measures. What a great deal could be accomplished if the money from the annual fire losses could be used for public benefit! The Mounties are as diligent in this line of work as the ' are in other fields and ever} ' effort is being made to cut the cost of forest fires to a minimum. ' er ' modern and efficient lookout stations and fire-fighting equipment are maintained in and around the great forests, and in the none too distant future the fruits of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police ' s labors will be shown, miles upon miles of vast timberlands free from their main scourge, fire. That this is no dream but a reality is evidenced by the rapid progress the Mounties have made toward this end. Add another item to the ever-increasing list of the Mounties ' duties, that of game warden. In this capacity the Mounties protect the wild life from poachers, by enforcing the game laws; from disease, by separating the sick animals from the herd; and from hunger and exposure bv creating shelters and feeding places for the wild game. Canada is a hunter ' s paradise, with every variety of game, large, and small. Moose, elk, deer, and bear are the principal big game animals while there is a great variety of smaller animals and an abundance of wild fowl of every species. This is probably the most humane of the Mountic ' s duties and through his efforts such forms of wild life as the rare trumpeter swan, once approaching ex- tinction, are now increasing in numbers, and may soon attain their former glory. THE A R T I S A N N ' 40 95 siofi -mst 96 T H E ARTISAN W 40 THE HAPPIEST HALF HOUR OF LIFE B - Gravron Hagihara I guess every boy or girl has had the happiest half hour of ui life one time or another. I believe it must have been a ven- unforgetable half hour of pleasent mem- ories. However, if you have not experienced a happiest half hour of life, I hope that some day you will get the chance to proclaim one, or accidentally meet one. More power to vou if vou are seeking for the happiest half hour of life. The happiest half hour of my life was not sought for, but came gradually from the experiences I had encountered. Mv great half hour was the time when I first saw the proud Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco Bay. It was five weary days that we had been sailing from Hawaii and in that time we saw no land to break the deep monoton -. On the fifth morning there came gradually I think the magnificent sight of the Golden Gate, which brought the most unspeakable feeling of joy to me. There was something in this great span of dynamic steel stretching its mass across the ha , which seemed a sign of fccurity and happiness. What could be any happier than to see the symbolic sign of the greatness and power of America at this very moment? To anvone arri ' ing in New York harbor from Europe, the first sign of America ' s democracy could be seen in the Libcrt - statue. But to those who are coming in from the other side, what could be an - happier than to see the other half of America ' s democracy the s mbol of power, progress, ad ' ancement, giganticism, and lastly, the s mbol of the future. Looking up at the bridge as we .slowly steamed under it, I prayed with all mv heart that I might carr - with me into my life the s mbols of what this huge superstructure has taught me. STORY AND ' E R S E THE MOUNTED POLICE AND THE GRIZZLY BEAR B Marjoric Horner 97 SCENE I Scene: Commissioner ' s office, Ottawa, Canada. Time: Morning Characters: Mr. Dixon, Commissioner ' s Office Bov, Doorman. As the scene opens, the commissioner ' s office-boy is sitting alone in the headquarters. A knock is heard. Commissioner ' s office-bo ' : Yes — what is it? ' Officer: Some voung upstart begs your audience, sir. Commissioner ' s office-bov: Ah fine, send him in. I need someone to play checkers with. (Mr. Dixon enters as the commissioner ' s office-boy takes out a set of checkers and prepares to play. ) Mr. Dixon: Good morning, sir. Commissioner ' s office-boy: Hello. What color do you want? Mr. Dixon: I want to be a man— a hero— a mounted policeman. Commissioner ' s office-bov: Eh— oh hello. Say, do you play checkers? Mr. Dixon: Yes, but I came to get a position as a mounted police. Commissioner ' s office-bo -: Oh, is that what you want— why didn ' t you say so in the first place? Sit down. Mr. Dixon (after sitting down ) : The fame of your organization has traveled far and wide— I want to be a mounted policeman. Commissioner ' s office-boy: Righto (very sternly). Young man can you prove vour alor— courage— and skill. Can you prove you ' re worthy of such an honorable position as Knights of old? 98 T HE A R ' r I S A N W ' 40 Mr. Dixon: What will von have me do? Commissioner ' s office-boy (tliinking deeph- ) : Hnm-m. Sav bud— I know a short cut, and vou ' rc just the man for the job. I can help ou get in if vou help me. Mr. Dixon (doubtfully): What do you ha ' c in mind, sir? Commissioner ' s office-boy (leaning back with feet on desk): Well— now I have some verv good friends out on the Bar X ranch, the ' have a vcr - prettv little daughter but that ' s beside the point— thc ' c been ha ' ing a little trouble with some insignificant bear. Now and then a calf or sheep disappears— well I thought vou mav be able to gi e them a little help. Mr. Dixon: Do you think I ' m fitted for the job, sir? Commissioner ' s office-boy: Certainly! Why, killing a bear is just as simple as killing a rabbit— in fact, I ' d say it ' s easier. A rabbit is too little to hit while in the bear you have a nice big target. Besides he doesn ' t move about so fast. Mr. Dixon: Well if you say so— I think I can do it. Commissioner ' s office-bov (with conviction): You ' re just the man we need. Now there is a reward out for his capture— $1,000.— we ' ll split, I ' ll get the glory and you ' ll get the job as a mounted policeman.

Characters: Mr. Dixon, the Commissioner, Doorman. (The Commissioner sits alone in his oiTice. He is telephoning). Commissioner: You sa ' the bear is dead? Good. Lou don ' t know the man who killed him? Fie should be rewarded. If ou find out, call me back— yes— goodby. 100 T H E A R T I S A N W ' 4o (A knock is heard at the door). Commissioner: Come in. (Doorman enters). Doorman: There is a young man with a bear outside. He says you ll be glad to see him— says you ' re expecting him. Commissioner: I ' m not expecting anyone— nevertheless you may show him in. Doorman: Very good, sir. Mr. Dixon (not noticing the unfamiliar Commissioner) : Well, here I am, safe and sound and ready to start mv job as a mounted police. Commissioner; WHiat. Mr. Dixon (dumbfounded at finding a strange man): Sa-a-ay I want to see the Commissioner. Commissioner: I am the Commissioner. Mr. Dixon: But you ' re not the Commissioner who promised me the job— where ' s the other Commissioner? Commissioner: There is no other Commissioner— I ' m the one and only. Mr. Dixon: There must be some mistake. Commissioner: Yes— there must be. Mr. Dixon: Well, the Commissioner, I mean the one who said he was the Commissioner when I was here this morning, promised me a job as a mounted policeman if I captured the troublesome bear. Commissioner: You mean my officer. He had no right to do that and he shall receiye just punishment. You see I left him in charge while I in estigated an affair in the east and I ' m afraid he ' s in his second childhood. Mr. Dixon (almost in tears): Then you mean— I don ' t get— the job? Commissioner: Well— that ' s a rather difficult problem. Ho y do I know you ' re worthy and able? Mr. Dixon: I kihed the bear. Commissioner: The bear? Do ou mean you ' re the chap who killed Grow- ling Gertie? Mr. Dixon: Yes sir, I ' m the guy. Commissioner: Well— that ' s a horse of a different color— at least it alters matters. Mr. Dixon (eagerly): Then I can be a ro al mounted police? Commisssioner: Not exactly. Not right away at an rate. Mr. Dixon: Wlicn? Commissioner: I believe and I ' m sure it ' s logical, to prove our first deed was not just a mere piece of luck, ou should kill another bear. Now down near Ontario there is— Mr. Dixon: Just a minute sir. I ' ve aged lo years today killing that bear, and it ' s logical if I kill another bear, I ' ll be too old for service so Commissioner: Those are the conditions I feel arc necessary. Mr. Dixon: Then, sir, I really couldn ' t kill another bear. I not only love ani- mals but I ' m too worn out. I think I had better return to Los Angeles, California, and give up the thought of ever being a policeman. STORY AND ' ERSE loi DUKE By Ethel Mac Nemctli No. Duke, no. You can ' t go with me today. Sorry, fellow, but they don ' t allow dogs in employment agencies. I ' ll be back as soon as I see a few prospects, and with a job, I hope. Jack turned his back on the pitiful sight of the dog who couldn ' t seem to understand wh - he wasn ' t being allowed to assume his customary place at his master ' s side. All through the long da Duke waited in front of the boarding house where he and Jack sta ed. W ' hen night came Jack still hadn ' t returned. Duke grew uneasy. His master had ne er before been awa - without him for such a long time. Perhaps something had happened to him. With these thoughts revolving in his head, Duke set out to find his pal. He looked up and down the street, but could not see anyone who bore the faintest resemblance to Jack. Trotting in the direction he had just seen him go, Duke soon reached the business section of the city. Cars were whizzing in every direction. Unused to cross- ing streets alone and frightened by the clanging of the street cars and the tooting of horns, Duke dashed into the main street. Just at that instant a shiny black roadster sped down the street as heedless of traffic regulations as was poor Duke. The dog and the car were in the street at the same time. A shout, a thud, a tiny body fl ing through the air! That was all. Traffic was so thick that only a few passers-by even noticed what had happened. Later that night Jack returned to his boarding house. It had been a hard day with still no job. He was cheered, howe er, with the thought that at least he had some one he could talk to, some one who was always sympathetic. Duke would be there, eager as alwa ' s to see him. Jack let out a welcoming whistle as he neared the house, but no running figure came to meet him. Further investigation showed that the tiny dog was no where around. Guessing that the dog had gone in search of him, Jack retraced his steps downtown. All that night he looked. No where could he find his treasured pal. Lights began flashing off, and the street car bells rang louder and faster, heralding the approach of the downtown morning rush hour. Apparently oblivious to all the commotion sat Jack. A morning newspaper which he had glanced at merely to steady his befuddled head lay open at his feet. Tears coursed down his cheeks, and a great dejection, seldom seen in one so young, could be detected in his every motion. Picking up the newspaper, the boy once more read a short article he had discovered while idh- skimming the paper. His eyes traveled over the cold black print. He still couldn ' t believe it. He had thought thousands of times that nothing could ever happen to his Duke. Yet, there it was, right before his eyes the words: Mr. Slandervilt, wealthy financier ' s son, had one too many last evening. While driving around after attending an eady cocktail party, the young millionaire lost control of his car in the business section of the city and killed a small black dog. Slandervilt was not held responsible because there were no witnesses to the accident who would testify. 102 1 H E A R T I S A N W ' 40 Jack rose from his seat under a grocer - store awning and stumbled blindly down the street. He walked aimlessly for se eral blocks, his grief too poignant for him to think clearly. Gradually, howe er, his walk became more determined, he un- consciously squared his shoulders and threw up his head. A single idea had crept into his bewildered mind— revenge! Like a -enomous serpent it had slid into his thought and was there to sta ' . His plan took shape readih ' . That gu ' s car has gotten out of control once too often, he mused angrilv. He ' d show ' em. No one could kill his dog and get away with it. ' hy that little pup was the best friend he ' d ever had. Such thoughts passed rapidly through Jack ' s head. The first idea that came to him on how to get this desired revenge was to resort to prehistoric methods and bodih ' harm the popular Mr. Slander ilt. This he soon realized, however, was an impossible feat to accomplish. The man was too heavily guarded for that. The only time he was ever alone was while driving. Wait! That was the solution. Cause this driv- ing-mad man to have such an accident on one of his own furious drives that he would never be able to kill another dog, or an thing else, for that matter again! Jack knew that this would not be hard to do, for at the speed that Jim Slander ilt drove, ven,- little had to be done to make him crack up. As the boy mounted the steps to the cheap boarding house, his plan was completed. He would do it tomorrow night. With this thought in mind, he opened the door to his room. To his surprise there was a young fellow standing in the middle of the room. That ' s strange, he thought, None of mv old friends know where I live now, and yet that man ' s face is familiar. He advanced to meet the visitor with a puzzled ex- pression. The stranger held out his hand and announced. I ' m Jim Slandervilt. Thev tell me it was your dog I hit last night. Can ' t tell you how sorr ' I am, fellow. I know there ' s nothing that can take the place of your first pal, but perhaps ou might like to have this for a partner. As he said these words, the oung man placed a small basket from which projected in inquisitive square nose into Jack ' s hands. A look of surprise passed over Jack ' s face as he realized who his caller was and then one of happiness quickly took its place. Gosh, mister, he replied. You ain ' t so bad after all!

STORY AND ' ERSE 103 DON DABBON OF TILTURE ' ALLEY Bv Lowell L ons Aw sliut up and quit er agitatin, uh dizzy screwball! Dis ain ' t no time to blab about shootin ' a prison guard. Jes ' remember we ' re headin ' fer ' ulture ' alle - where olc Don Dabbon lives. He will diteh us ' til the heat blows over. Chuck Conners glared at his fugitive confederate while he steered a hard driven fli ver o er the sands of the desert. Yeah? Micn ou gave our spare tire fer gas and traded the ' gat ' fer a coupla meals yuh put all the cops on our trail to get us back behind the bars at Folsom. Lissen Spud, Johnnie Fox ain ' t no stoolie. He ' s jes ' stir-crazy and the cons don ' t like him. He ain ' t no pigeon and didn ' t he tell us how to find Don Dabbon? Ain ' t dat somethin ' ? Mebbe ver right. Chuck, but the rubes up here are too anxious to help us . . . uh know, jes ' like Warden Farrar givin ' uh a chicken dinner and good smokes before ver 13 steps to the gas chamber ... Of course yuh know what I mean. Chuck. Speeding the stolen fli ver into Bloddy Fork, Chuck Conners turned to the right into a desolate waste of desert land. Fifty miles more sped off the speedometer while the -ehicle continued on its way. A deadlv silence was suddenly terminated by an abrupt explosion. Hol - mackerel, it ' s the rear tire. She ' s blown out and we ain ' t got any spare. Chuck cursed while Murphy gritted his teeth in despair. The monotony of the next fift miles was broken by a groaning tire and a steaming radiator. Then a series of staccato backfires brought the fliv er to a dead and final stop. Look! ' The gas meter— empt ! Chuck Conners cursed and pushed on the starter in vain. Jumping out of the stranded car. Murphy emitted a blood curdling scream. Lookout, snakes! Snakes all around us! Deadh- rattlesnakes were poised to sink their -enom into the limbs of Spud. Jumping back into the fli ' er. Spud began moaning. Ye gods, no water, no spare, no gun! Now the dirty snakes want us too. Say Chuck, wot are those big birds sailin ' abo e? Them ' s vultures. I guess de - got yer number Spuddy. Dey like dead meat and er no exception. Ugh! lissen to de snakes buzz— can ' t the birds make some kind of noise? I can ' t stand de snakes. They ' re dri in ' me nerts! I ain ' t used ter it. Murphy ' s eyes rolled in fear. Aw, taint wors ' n the jute mill or solitar -. Ain ' t nature wonderful? Chuck taunted his frightened ally. SuddenU- Chuck Conners gazed at a distant object. Hey Spud, I see a ri -er bed. Looks like Bloddy Creek. I ' m gonna get a drink of water. Avoiding the rattlesnakes both fugiti es rushed towards the creek. 104 THE ARTISAN W ' 40 n Drv as a bone— why didn ' t dey tell us there ain ' t no water! groaned Murphy as he whet his dry lips. Hey look, there ' s a sign. It says Vulture Valley! Now where ' s Don Dabbon? Conners gazed searchingh ' in all directions. Hey look, Chuck. A monument with a white fence around it. Gosh, look at de graves, dozens of ' em. Dis is a graveyard! Conners ran to an encircled tombstone and gasped in astonishment. It read: IN MEMORIAM. DON DABBON 1884-1938 Sweat gushed down Murphy ' s face as he read another. IN MEMORIAM, NO. 184978 1885-1959 T-that n-n-umber, it ' s, ifs, it ' s familiar. Wot does dis mea? Murphy wheeled towards his pal. It means jes ' dis, Spuddy. All de numbers were ' cons ' jes ' as me and you. Number 184978 wuz Cholly Dawson who powdered from de big house in January. Now I gets it— he came here a-lookin ' fer Don Dabbon, jes ' as me and you. Looks like Fox has given us de double X. Casting its rays on silent objects a new moon caused shadows to stand out as grotesque images in the desert graveyard. Vultures ceased their vigil and all signs of life settled down to a deathly silence. Glancing towards the monument of Don Dabbon, Murphy hoarsely muttered, So dis is the stifiF who Johnnie Fox recommends yuh to. So Johnnie ain ' t no rat neither! Yer a dumb cluck and ycr know it. Chuck. Murphy fell upon the desert sands and sobbed like a child. Hold yer bosses. Spud. I ain ' t tcr blame— we ' re double-crossed. We gotta get outta here and cr in ' ain ' t gonna do any good. Oh yeah? Spud Murph ' s voice quivered. Lookut those graves. Did de stiffs find their way out? Chuckky yer got one foot in de gas chamber and de other on a banana peelin. ' Anyways they don ' t have ' ultures and buzzin ' snakes at executions— do they Chuck? So yer needlin ' agin, eh Spuddy. I like to hear myself talk too. So get dis — the waiters in the grease joint fed up jes ' like Warden does before execution. When de ole gink gave us gas for our gun, didn ' t he tell yuh that no one ever returned fer the ' gats. ' They don ' t need cops, judges and undertakers out here. We ' re jes ' outsmarted and hev come ter the end of our journey. And if yer don ' t believe me, then jes ' read that poetry- behind yuh on the momument. Chuck Conners pointed to a white momument which read: Here lies the remains of Gunner Billings The con who boasted of many killings One day he powdered from the big house In quest of Don Dabbon— the poor dumb louse. Oh yeah? I read them things cverytime I go to a public washroom— so what? Glancing at the tombstone, Murphy worried. STORY AND VERSE 105 III Sleeping soundh- in the grave ard both desperadoes were awakened bv an early sun. Hey looky. Spud, here conies a guv on a horse. Maybe he ' s got some water and can get us outta here. Shouting and gesticulating for help both outlaws were finally observed by the stranger. Bringing his steed to a stop the man proferred a canteen from which they drank greedih ' . Sa-ay, who are you, Conners fairly rasped the words. Oh I ' m a homesteader and just am on my way to town for grub, answered the newcomer as he raised his hand from a Colt frontier. Sa mister, we came here lookin ' for Don Dabbon. Our car ' s busted and we ' re lost. Will yuh get us outta here? Murphy pleaded. You ' ll ne er make it, son. Nearest town is over fift ' miles and anyways you belong here with Don Dabbon, replied the stranger tugging at the reins of his mount. Sa ' gu -, we ' re wanted fer prison break and murder. There ' s a reward on us, about two grand, Chuck pleaded. I ' m right sorry gents but I ain ' t sheriff so I can ' t arrest ye. I ain ' t got much use for mone ' out h ' ar so I ain ' t much interested, the stranger appeared indifferent. Sa)- buddy, do you think de gasoline man and the ' grease joint ' people knew we jimmied outta prison and were outlaws? Chuck shot his question at random. Righto, son! Thar ' s handsome rewards on public enemies and it is to their interest to steer you out to the desert. ' Well, s ' pose thev don ' t find us— then what? queried Murphy. Oh the sherifT finds yuh sometime or other when he gits aroun ' to it. Sheriff Bruce is an independent cuss but he alius gets his man. Well I wanta give up now. Lookut those dirty ultures up there. They ' re drivin ' me nerts. Where ' s the sheriff? raged Murphy. Take it easy Bud. Sheriff Bruce is a lazy cuss and I don ' t reckon he ' ll be ' round lookin fer uh fer several days yet. Well— he kin look all o er Satan fer me. I ain ' t goin ' ter show yeller, Conners ' courage was ' anishing. How kin I get to the Sheriff, please mister. Don ' t let me ' creak ' here, again wailed Murphy. Waal, see them two mountins ' over thar? The stranger pointed towards two distant masses of rock rising over 1000 feet high. So what? leered Conners. Waal, thet one on the left is Dead Man ' s Mountin ' and thet other one is Ghost Mountin. Sheriff Stan Bruce lives on Dead Man ' s Mountin ' and thar ' s plenty of game and water on Ghost Mountain. Thanks fer the drink, ole top, said Conners. I ' m takin ' Ghost Mountain. Wheeling his steed the horseman galloped away with a final parting, Waal, nine others tried it and nine failed. â–  • , io6 THE ARTISAN W ' 40 Watching the old liomesteader fade from view. Chuck Conners and Murphy faced the two distant mountains. I oughta bump yuh off fer gettin ' me in this mess, Conners, grated Murphy. Aw shut up, yer veller. Go on, toiler the homesteader and when yer in the gas house jes ' think of me, yer pal, o er in Mexico wid pretty senoritas. Yeah, I kin see vuh in Mexico all right— with a lotta Don Dabbons. Lookut those buzzards. I wish I had a tommy gun. Quick, Chuck, look, there thev are. Hear ' em. Chuck? Don ' t you hear em? Suddenly galvanized into super energ) ' . Spud Murphy dashed towards Dead Man ' s Mountain— waving his arms and screaming with the frenzy of a ra ing maniac. Chuch Conners became alarmed and stared helplessh in the darkness for his ally. Murphv, hev Murphy, come back. Don ' t leave me, pal. Spud what ' s de matter wid yuh? IV News had circulated through Vulture City that two stranded outlaws were in quest of Don Dabbon. Sheriff Stan Bruce ' s return from ilture ' alley was ex- pected momentarily. Here thev come, here the come! an urchin seated on his pet pony heralded the news. Someone rang the church bell while scores of inhabitants scurried to- wards the Town Hall. Sheriff, whar ' s ther outlaws? a loud voice broke the silence. Hev ye ' em or didje get ' em? wisecracked another gaunt figure. Sheriff Stan Bruce dismounted and handed the reins to a deputy. W ' hut happened to ther outlaws? a dozen voices were heard to mutter the words. Jes ' can ' t figure it out, Sheriff Bruce shook his head. We found ' em -one on Dead Man ' s Mountain where a rattler had finished him. The other one was on Ghost Mountain, flat on his back staring at the sky,— stark dead! If it wasn ' t for the vultures we wouldn ' t have found him. I can ' t figure what killed him. Wal Sheriff, jes ' whv was one on Dead Man ' s Mountain and one on Ghost Mountain? queried a homesteader on horseback. That ' s another thing I can ' t figure because there hain ' t nothin ' but cactus and sand on either mountain and nary a soul within miles of them. Doggone of it ' s ain ' t too dcrn bad then, muttered an old man. Ther critters traded me a tire fer two meals and I find the tire is a retread. I wudda filed false pretenses agin ' em. Heh, heh, heh; ve ain ' t got nothin ' on mc Tom, laughed another farmer. I give em ten gallons of gas fer a Colt ' s autymatic. Naow I jes found out thuh dern pistol was made in prison and worth thirty cents. Wa-al boys, drawled Sheriff Stan Bruce, thar ' s a thousand dollars reward on them critters to say nuthin ' of gettin ' your pictures and names in the papers and magazines.

Good Lord, why doesn ' t that priest stop that mumbling; why don ' t they come and get it over ' ith? Onlv esterdav ( it seems like yesterday ) the gang went for a swim in the swim- ming hole. Lord, was it grand! I remember how scared the girls used to be of any- thing that crawled. And Sally! She was the sweetest kid I ever knew (wonder what she ' s doing) I loved her but why think of that: and the time I smoked right on the schoolgrounds and got expelled— let ' s see was I g or 10? Ma warned me that I ' d come to a bad end when I started to pal around with Johnnie Fredrick ' s gang. There was a guv for you, he robbed old man Christ five times and never once got caught. And me. the first time I pulled a job (robbed Lambert ' s fish market) I got two ears in reform school, nien I got out I was 21. That was three years ago. Now look at me. It doesn ' t seem possible, does it? Well, my life ' s pretty dull. Mom was right, I should have gone to Sunday school. Maybe I wouldn ' t be here now. Here they come— Oh, God, forgive me— don ' t let them take me— tic-tock tic- tock— there I go talking crazy again. I wish the priest would pray it would be peace- ful to die like that. He must have read my mind, he ' s praying— for me. He want me to pra -, I ' m no good at it and anyway it wouldn ' t be any use I ' m bad, no good, no one would listen to me.

In her sable hair A scimitar-moon and the stars. STORY AND VERSE 109 EUROPE-AMERICA By Gerald Pisk Sometimes people asked me: Are there anv differences at all? and I had to tell them: I ' m afraid there are! If you take education! There are no bigger differences in anything else. In case I had to make mv choice between European schools and American, I would have the hardest time of mv life doing it. But I can assure vou of one thing: In the Old Worid one has to work much more, at least twice as hard to ha e the same success as here. Young people nat- urallv don ' t like that, but I didn ' t find one yet, who wasn ' t later glad that he studied hard. Europeans aren ' t afraid of school. When I entered Manual I had but one though: Oh heck, school again! but I was pleasantly surprised, and in Sep- tember I hardly could wait till school started again. It is so much more fun to attend school here. That I didn ' t feel sorn,- that I went for ten years to European schools is proof that we learn much more over there, which gives us an advantage over Americans of the same age and often over older ones. In this wa - I prefer the European school. They prepare you better, they teach ou more, but when it comes to the relationship between teacher and pupil I certainh ' do prefer the schools here. It made me feel good when I saw how understanding teachers handle their children here. Tlie relations between them are almost perfect, friendlv and sincere. The position of the European teacher is basicalh- different. Through centuries the teacher was the feared person, whose position is best expressed by reminding you of the Big Bad Wolf! The youth here naturally respects their teachers as they do have a greater experience in life and know more, but I didn ' t find one yet who feared his instructor. I forgot to mention the, in my opinion, ideal school. The English school is known all over the world and I dare say that it has the best reputation a school possiblv can have. It is a marvelous mixture of both types, uniting the good points of them. From European schools it takes the hard studying, which prepares you much better, and from American it takes the friendly relations between teacher and pupil. Something I like especially is that you are taught self discipline here. I ' m afraid that this is the one thing where American education in general lacks. Of course there are exceptions as everywhere. One of the greatest differences, if not the greatest, is that the kind of educational institutions are, compared, like upside down to each other. In Europe, if you go to a public school you have to work, hard, and if you ' re afraid that you ' ll flunk you go to a private school, where you pay much more but don ' t have to work anything to succeed. Here it is exactly the opposite. If you want to learn something you go to a private school and if you want to take it easy you go to a public school. I for one would choose the English school, taking in consideration that I would have work, which won ' t kill me and would enable me to go farther in my later life. 110 THE ARTISAN W. 40 Let ' s take the private life now. One day a friend asked me: What do you consider the main difference between German life and American! — Well, here is my answer: In the U. S. you can do, think, talk and listen to whatever you want to. If you don ' t like something you simply don ' t do it. We don ' t have to take necessarily Germanv, we can take anv dictatorship to look in to see how they work out. There you have to do what the government wants you to, you have to listen to the government-featured radio programs, you have to march whenever they want you to, to have to persecute people who didn ' t do the slightest harm to ou, to fellow-men. or they ' ll throw you into one of their Lovely concentration camps, you can ' t think your own thoughts because you hear always just the onlv and one opinion, which is of course pro, and if you dare talk anything you aren ' t supposed to you can be punished by everything from a fine to a firing squad. I know cases where men were shot because they talked in public against the regime. A friend of mine, who is still in Austria, refused to join the Hitler-Youth. The very next day he was put into prison and had to stay there for six long weeks, till he, being unable to stand the prison life any longer, agreed to join. Bv such methods Nazis force people to join the party, even if they don ' t like it. And if possible somebody should dare not to appear at one of the big parades if told to do so, he is heavily fined. Nice, isn ' t it? Imagine you would be arrested for listening to a foreign radio station, which tells you something else than your station at home, probably more true. I myself was forced by my school to join the storm troopers. I wonder how an American would feel if somebody came to his house and told him to go the next day to the nearest WPA or CCC station and to enlist. Wouldn ' t he think the man is crazy, simply nuts? But if you lived in Germany you would be used to it and you would go too, because if you didn ' t you could count on the secret police to drop in within the next 48 hours. There are many, too many people who defend the opinion that America is going to face something like the happenings in Germany. Even here, in the U. S. A. they are afraid of it, and I don ' t blame them for being scared. It would be terrible since Americans are a na tion, used to freedom who won ' t give up their liberty, not for anything. If another nation should succeed in building up a totalitarian government even in the United States, America would be sunk, absolutely lost. It is the task of America ' s youth to prevent this and I shall do my best to help. I shall willingly do my part of this task and if I may give mv advice, it is: If the young American generation wants to live in liberty and peace for all their life and want their children to have the same, they better start up now to defend America against any case of revolution, which would lead toward a dictatorship. We all know Patrick Henry ' s famous speech: I don ' t know what course others may take. But as for me, give me liberty or give me death! This should be young America ' s aim: we shouldn ' t neglect our freedom because we are already used to it. We always must be ready to defend it. This is our mission for the world and for America. S T O R Y A N D V E R S E m PERCY VALENTINE By Don Murray I ' m gonna tell ya a story, An old favorite of mine, The story of a man Named Percy ' alentine He came to Good Gold Creek In 1845, And anv man what crossed him Didn ' t stay alive. Percy was a big man, Standin ' six foot four. And had a carefree air But was bad to the core. In fact a dangerous hombre; He slapped leather awful fast. And no folks drew near him Cause they knew ' twould be their last. One night a U. S. Marshal Came ridin ' into town; Percy drew his pistol And shot the marshal down. The men chased the killer Then hung him to a tree; The town of Good Gold Creek Once again was free. The posse made an error. Didn ' t fill him full of lead, Just hung him to the tree And left him there for dead. I ' ve finished my story. That old favorite of mine. But they didn ' t kill the killer ' Cause I ' m Percy Valentine. 112 T H E A R T I S A N W ' 4o HOOFS AND HORNS B Jeanette Osborn Did vou e er go horseback riding? If you have there must ha e been a first time. If vou never have gone, vou can save vourself the reading of this httle opus, because ou won ' t be able to understand it. Well, anyway, here we are. a large part - about to embark on what is commonly called taking a horse for a canter. I shall use this common phrase, but please un- derstand that the horse docs all the taking. There are six of us in the party, and all of us are slighth ' amateurish in the knack of being a part of the horse. We ap- proach the stable— it is earh in the morning and I am delicioush ' anticipating get- ting on a horse, at the same time no little afraid of doing so. This, combined with the fact that 1 ha e had no breakfast, makes my stomach feel a little squeamish. We arrive at the academv and go into the stable. The owner meets us and con- ceals anv shock that he might feci at beholding our apparel, which ranges from the fashion magazine ' s version of what the well-dressed rider is wearing, to garments which resemble something that the cat refused to drag in. The skill of a rider can usuallv be told h what he wears, but just the opposite to what the un-informed might think. The stableman asks what kind of riders we are — excrvone looks at the other self-consciously; no one wants to brag ( goodness knows there is nothing to brag about) but neither does he want to be too self-condemning for fear he will get a horse overh- gentle. Finallv everyone is seated securelv (more or less) in his saddle. We start off at a gentle walk, I act nonchalant, but I take furtive grabs at the horn when no one is looking. (We picked ' estern saddles for this added securit} ' , but naturally no one admitted it.) Now we canter— this is a little better and we take a breath of relief, but the breath is lost as the horses enter into the spirit of the thing and start the race. The wind whistles in our ears, mixed w ith the thudding hoofs of the racing horses and the feminine screeches of distress. The horses are pulled up at last and e -er}one looks pleased with himself at his show of horsemanship. (It was all the horses ' doing, but who are they to take the credit? ) This routine continues for an hour or so, and we are headed back for the stable. The horses know better than w c do where they are going, and prick up their ears and quicken their steps in anticipation of all the comforts of home. Ilca en knows why they should be hungr -, the - have been munching the grass along the trail at e ery opportunity. The horses ' desire to get rid of the unwickU- burden on their backs is matched by the riders ' desire to be off the horse. Ah, the stable at last. The stableman helps everyone off, before he falls off, and looks of amazement show on the faces af the former riders as thev trv to stand on their own power. Tlieir legs feel permanently bowed, and all the aches of the world seem to have gone into the parts of the anatomy which contacted the horse. This is nothing compared with what ill fol- low the next day, but it is worth it. There is no feeling in the wodd like that of ha - ing a large living animal under your control, subject to our slightest command. STORY AND ' ERSE n-, HOW By Marjorie Hocrncr Attention all you with mountain climbing manias. Here arc some casv Icssojis from experience on how to get the most out of a hiking trip. Comes the hour of departure and you excitedh ' await the arri al of the gang. After an hour of hectic pacing, they finally arrive. You climb reluctantly into the rattletrap they ha c the nerve to call a car and ou arc merrilv on your way. Ah— your joy ride has just begun. What is that strange noise you hear in the engine? Could it be—!! No time to wonder as the ear stops, everyone climbs out and you gently fall from vour perch on what should be the top and sprawl on the sidewalk many feet below. But there is no need to worrv- you ' re only out of gas. You cheerfully volunteer to walk for the gasoline but your patience slowly wears out as you trudge lo miles to the nearest station. You soon forget as you are once more on the wav. Your anticipation grows, but vour brain trust has picked an out-of-the-way place no one has heard of, for your grand ad enture. All you can see is dust and dirt— but that, vou think, is getting out and roughing it. You gavh ' begin the hike keeping in mind that all the facts you have been taught about hiking. You quickly review them while the car is being parked— let ' s see. You must never stay with the crowd. Explore all the side trails, mines, caves, and what have vou, no matter how forbidding thev appear as people will enjoy a frantic search for ' ou. Lag behind to examine rocks, mysterious rocks, mysterious springs, and all types of wild life, especially unknown plants and weeds of brilliant color. Explorers are a great asset to the world in general and if ou develop poison Ini ' or oak, you will surelv have the sympathy of all your friends. You must trust to our own sense of direction. The compass ma ' be all right in its place, but ou were taught to follow the sun. Do not under any circumstances take heed of signs. If one trail is more attractive than another, take it, as those instructions will lead you to unpleasant experiences. Most important to to scale the sheerest peaks, plunge into the deepest ra ines and wade in the swiftest streams. Be sure you lose your footing on a ' erv narrow trail as ou ma ' cause a landslide. This will develop new and better mountains. If ' 0u fall, land on your head. In this way you will not have to walk back as some one will graciously offer to carry you. Do not carry a lunch. It is only a burden but vou cannot exercise well on a full stomach. Wear you best high-heeled shoes (if a girl) with slick leather wear your stiff white collars. Wear your Sunday go to meeting clothes as you soles. (You may as well break our neck this way as any other). And if a boy wear low heel shoes. And last, but h no means least, do not head for home until after dark. Light- ing matches to see the wa is not only jolly, but will likeh make an little work for the otherwise idle forest fire fighters. A fores fire will be very- pleasant as you will probably be cold about this time of night, and as you have no coat, you will wel- come the heat. If vou don ' t have matches, don ' t fear. Dodging wild animals at night is fun. Besides, we need more animal trainers. If a storm comes up stand under a tree so you won ' t get wet. Lightning strikes only once in one place. 114 THE ARTISAN W ' 4o GLIMPSES OE JAPAN By Lucy A. Hifle Lo e of nature is so fundamental an aspect of Japanese life that it is not surprising to find bcaut assiduoush ' cultivated bv the people. Nature and beauty are so intertwined that together they form the basis of the wonderland that is Japan, culminating in the sacred shrines which combine material with spiritual loveliness. In everv line, be it in the exquisite hand products like lacquer and cloisonne and Damascene ware or in the pearl culture and the silk industry and the archi- tecture, beaut - is e ident. Sinlplicit • is the dominating note as natural motifs are emphasized, the grace of the bamboo and the strength of the pine recurring as decoration. In architecture especiallv is harmonious simplicitv evident. The natural colors and textures of the wood are utilized to produce an atmosphere of refinement. The plain wooden Shinto shrines with thick thatched roofs are heralded by a kind of bean propvlon called a torii. often picturesquely placed in the water of a bay and then again making its graceful appearance in forest glades. The more ornate Buddhist shrines are the Mecca of artists because of their rich color and intricate design which show Chinese influence. Sometimes rising above the tree tops, the loft - pagodas with their blue-green copper roofs stand out against the blue sky. Their architectural symmetry and reli- gious traditions present an interesting aspect of Oriental life. Hardly a more beautiful sight could be imagined when the weathered-red walls of the pagoda are framed bv cherrv blossoms or bv flaming maple lea es. Usually the pagoda is of wood, but four stories of concrete forms one in Tok o which commemorates thousands of victims of the great 1923 earthquake. S mbols of feudal davs, castle-fortresses like the one in the accompanying il- lustration, still stand. Though built for strength, even the castle has an airiness of outline in keeping with the natural setting. The moat and wall .shown in the pic- tures are thrilling reminders of another da ' . Bespeaking not onlv love of beaut ' but also Japanese scientific research, the pearl industn ' especially interests tourists. Mr. Mikimoto, the 84 ear old Pearl King, has gi ' en the world the loveh ' cul- tured pearl. At the numerous pearl fisheries the extensi -e ovster beds are scientifi- cally cared for as the pearls develop for six vears. The picturesque diving girls fill their tubs with ovsters, from which the pearls are taken, washed, polished, matched, and drilled by expert fingers. The lo ely jewels are exported for the most part to America. The pictures show Mr. Mikimoto in his research laboratory, also making scrolls for his guests, and again reeei ing the latter for a da - of generous hospitality including a present of pearls. The man of science proves himself also a genial host almost too prodigal of his precious gifts. Not onlv does he give work to thousands but he adds to the world ' s beauty. The women of the United States, of France, and of England use most of the pearl output which is valued at about three million yen annually. SPORTS ii; JAPANESE ARCHITECTURE ii6 T H E A R T I S A N W ' 40 The beauty of material things merges naturally into spiritual beauty of which the tea ceremony is an expression. Honored by a special room, this eyidcnce of hos- pitality is most refreshing to soul and bod ' . The tea-room often has its own en- trance through a lovel)- garden. At the yilla Pure Stream in Kyoto, the gracious hostess Mrs. Watanabe with her two beautiful daughters presided over the cere- mony, herself scrying the strength-giyiug green tea. Peace of soul was indeed in- vited by the leisurely service, the beauty of the room and of the costumes, and the glimpse of the famous garden. The tea industry is important in the economic life of Japan. Picked from very old plants, the most tender leaves are steamed, dried, and curled. The green tea. rich in vitamin C, forms a large part of the export trade which amounts to about 23 million yen annually. Symbolic of the importance of nature to the Japanese, pearls and tea indicate only two of the great industries. The tea is Nature itself v hile the tea-ceremony is the heart and soul of man uniting with nature. The pearl with its soft radiance blackens unless nurtured by love, again the human union with the product of nature being significant of the interdependence of all life. So like a whitecap on the green ripples of the tea, the pearl might symbolize beauty. It merely suggests the great influence other natural forces play in the life of Japan. STORY AND X ' ERSE TEA, JAPAN THE ARTISAN W 40 JAPANESE PEARL INDUSRY SPORTS iig NOTHING TO LOSE B Bob ' ocl r ' cstlcy Saunders sat in tlic old straight-backed plush upholstered chair and ner ously listened to the slow e en steps of the doctor descending the stairs. His c es tra eled o er the room. Since his father was dving everything here would soon be his. On the opposite side of the room the attorney, Mr. Ames, rose and greeted the doctor as he entered. How is Mr. Saunders? the attorney questioned the doctor. He is a en ' sick man, but has asked to see von and his son. If vou make your visit brief it should not hurt him. His heart is very bad and the end is only a matter of days, or weeks at the most. ' estle ' rose to follow Mr. Ames as the doctor left the house b ' the front door. As I have explained, the lawyer said before entering the room, vour father, realizing his time was short, commissioned me to find you and bring you here. I believe he has forgiven your quarreling with him, and now regrets having disowned you. I hope vou will lav aside your own resentment and try not to excite him. I ' ll try, the boy promised glibh ' . It wouldn ' t hurt to be amiable a few days. His father wouldn ' t last long, then all the money would be his and he could do as he pleased. Remember vour father is dying, Mr. Ames whispered in caution as they entered the room. Old Mr. Saunders lay almost lost in the wide expanse of a massive oak bed. His face was pinched and drawn, his hair white and thin, his eves faded and tiny from age. As the two men entered he turned his head to gaze intently at his son. I found your son. the attorney began, and brought him here as soon as he arrived in town. For a moment the old man regarded the boy, as if undecided what to say, then spoke in a thin voice. Son, I ' m truly glad to see ' 0u again before m ' time is up. The five years since we parted have been long. Longer for me possibh ' than for you. Perhaps I expected too much of you but your waywardness and dishonesty disappointed me greatly. 1 would have returned sooner, Westley consoled his father, if I liad known you wanted me. ' h ' hadn ' t he thought of coming back? It would ha e been easier living here than orking or bumming enough to eat. The old man reached out a bony hand and took his son ' s hand. I sent for you to give you another chance, he said. You are my only heir except your cousin, James, and everything I own will be vours soon — after I ' m gone. There is, however, one last request I ' m going to make. Under my bed is an iron box. Get it for me. 120 T H E A R T I S A N W ' 4o The bov stooped and dragging a box lifted it to tlie bed. What ' s in the box? he queried. Old Mr. Saunders smiled then said; You can find that out for yourself when the time comes. When will that be? The old man took a ke - from under his pillow. Mr. Ames, he said. I want you to take possession of this box and key. The attorney took the key. Westlev, the father said in his thin voice, my last request is that you do not open this box for one year after my death. Mr. Ames will keep the box and key in his office safe. At the end of one year he will turn them both over to you and the contents of the box will be yours. If you refuse to heed my request you may demand the box and kev at anv time, but the box must be opened in Mr. Anic ' s presence and he must examine the contents before gi ing them to you. I sincerely hope howe ' er, vou will observe my wish. Is there anything else? the son asked curiously examining the locked box. No, the old man said as he lay back and closed his c}es. After a minute tlie attorney picked up the box and said: Your father is very weak. Perhaps we ' d better go. The davs dragged slowh ' b . Westlev appraised the house and land, wishing the time would pass quickly so that they would be his. His father grew steadily weaker and a week later quietly died in his sleep. The morning after the funeral Westley was waiting when Mr. Ames arrived at his office. I ' ve come to see about my father ' s estate, Westley began. Yes? the law er questioned. You see I ' m short of funds and was wondering if I could get an advance on the estate. Your father ' s last sickness and the funeral has taken all the a ' ailable cash, the lawyer explained. The estate consists of the house, contents, and consider- able farm land. Since Mr. Saunders died without leaving a will you will be the only heir, but the estate must be probated and it will be some time before any money can be realized on the property. How long? Westlev asked disappointment in his oice. It usually requires a year or a little over, the lawyer an.swercd. But I need the money now, the boy was clearly impatient. He probably put all his cash in that box. It would delight him to keep me waiting a year. Get me the box. Your father requested tliat you do not open the box for a year after his death, the attorney cautioned as he produced the box and the ke . What do I care, what he requested. He ' s dead now. I can do as 1 please. Give me the key. STORY AND ' ERSE 121 I can ' t prevent your opening tlic box, Mr. Ames said as he handed Wcstlcy the key. Your father instructed me to allow you to do so if you insisted. However I advise ou not to. Your father was a shrewd man, and you will probably regret disobe ing him. ' hat can he do? r c nothing to lose. ' estley laughed as he turned the key and lifted the lid. The box contained onlv a sealed envelope and a single sheet of paper folded once. The bo reached for them but Mr. Ames placed his hand o cr them. Remember, our father instructed me to examine the contents before giving them to ou, the law er reminded as he unfolded the paper and read it. Then with a smile he handed it to the boy. Pinned to the paper was a one dollar bill and below a note. Dear son: If you have obeyed my last request you may destroy the contents of the cn clope and e er thing I own will be yours. If you have not Mr. Ames is hereby instructed to probate the will which is enclosed in the envelope. It leaves mv entire estate to your cousin fames, with the exception of one dollar which I have attached to this note. This must be your share. Westley attempted to snatch the envelope, but Mr. Ames stepped back and placed it in his pocket. You no - ha ' e our inheritance, he said, and need no longer worry about disposing of your father ' s estate. PARTING By Elmer Morrison If we should never in this life meet again. If we should part one year or ma be ten. Would vou hold in your heart A place for me A welcome sign that would be? 122 T H E A R T I S A N ' 40 EGYPT, TODAY AND YESTERDAY By Anna G. Wiggs What a thrill it was to come into the Red Sea, pass Mount Sinai and into the Gulf of Suez to the citv itself. We were eager to be on our way in order that we might see the canal by day as well as by moonlight. It was all the more thrilling because for da s •e had been uncertain whether we would reach Egypt before war would be declared and our route diverted. Port Said and customs officers were miles behind when in the distance the Great Pyramids loomed on the horizon. We knew that Cairo was not for off. The art, architecture, and handcraft of the Cairo museum give the most complete picture of thousands of vears of civilization that have been collected under one roof. If an onc is certain that our civilization has no possibility of decadence, a visit to Eg)pt will probabh ' change his attitude. The rise and fall of art and archi- tecture tell the stor ' of the rise and fall of civilizations that is vi id and thrilling. Ancient histor - is going further into the past and becoming more accurate. Re- cent excavations at Sarnak show that the Doric column is not Greek in its origin, but was used in Egypt during the third dynasty more than a thousand years before Greek art was developed. It was at Sarnak that the step pyramids of this early per- iod portray the development of the Great Pyramids of the following dynasties. The great pillars of Karnak show the ruins of the world ' s largest building. The papyrus and the lotus pillars standing side by side are symbolic of the union of lower and upper Egypt. The tomb of King Tut-ank-Amen is in a desert waste but was once in the midst of beautiful surroundings as is shown by the extensive irriga- tion project and other ruins. Egyptian culture progressed and declined many times then it fell to a low level to remain for centuries. After three thousand years of op- pression bv the kings of Egvpt, Greece, Rome, and Mohammedan rulers there is little left of the glor - that was once Egypt, llic ambition of leaders today is that she may again take her place in the family of nations and be the foremost nation of Near East. Egypt is in the midst of great industrial and social revolution. It will be slow because of the great land owners ' monopoly and the Mohammedan ideas of the social status of the common man and of women. The mud villages have thous- ands living in them without a roof on their houses. Cotton stalks, sugar cane, or other dry vegetation stored upon the top of the walls for fuel, provide the only shelter. Life is still dependent upon the Nile, but the Assuan dam makes possible three crops a year instead of one. The old and the new are side by side giving evi- dence of change. An electric pump or a sun dried mud mud post may be used to draw wate r from the Nile. A mud hut is often next door to a modernistic apart- ment house. Well paved boulevards and narrow filthy streets are in the same locality. Automobiles, ox-teams, donkeys, camels, and human beings are to be seen as transportation agencies. In the streets are well dressed, clean looking men in European clothes mingling with the dirty ragged men in gallabias. The hygiene now being taught in government as well as the mission schools is in definite contrast to the filthv streets and fly infested faces of helpless babies. S P O R 1 S 123 EGYPTIAN SCENES 124 T H E A R T I S A N W ' 40 The girls ' schools have women principals, yet, among the illiterate a woman is not allowed the freedom of leaving her home until her first child is born. The youth are anxious to learn English in order that they may understand the mo tion pic- tures. Education is now compulsory but the great masses are not compelled to go because they do not have clothes, books, or the required tuition. The written language is the classic Arabic, which is foreign to the present day Egyptian. It is as though all of our books and newspapers were printed in Latin with no written language in our mother tongue. Private schools are prevalent. The tuition is no more than in government schools. The mission schools are older and usually have a higher standard than the government schools. This is changing too because the government found that practicallv all post masters, railroad station masters, and other government positions were held by mission educated men. They are now restricting private schools as well as putting in practical courses in the government schools. In one gids ' high school they proudly showed us their science laboratory. The girls were making perfume. Soap would have been more to the point but they will see the need as science becomes more common. School children were being fitted with gas masks last April as Egypt expected to be attacked immediately up- on the outbreak of a European War. A visit to Egypt is like seeing a living picture of thousands of years of human endeavor. The masses live much as they did thousands of years ago. Some have advanced in certain respects and a few are as progressive as any people anywhere. MOVIE STRUCK By Idclla Butler I can ' t keep from wishing that I were there.

The conipan ' was founded when the British crown had scarcely a foothold in Canada, and because of its extraordinary operations won dominion over the Northwestern part of the continent. It was the boa t Nonsuch that sailed from the Hudson Ba ' to England loaded with furs, that interested the English dukes and lords who backed the ' cnturc, to ask King Charles II for a charter. The charter granted in 1670 makes known the company The Goxernor and Compan • of Adxenturers of England Trading in Hudson ' s Bay, exclusive lords and proprietors of a ' ast amount of land with sole rights to fish, hunt, and trade therein. At the time it remained for the compan to make good the pri ileges granted by the charter, and profits at that period sometimes exceeded one hundred per cent. For almost a centur - the Compan ' of Adventurers had to battle with rival companies and the armed forces of the French. At times, because of heavA- losses sustained the company almost vanished. Administering justice and peace in Northwest Canada without the use of a standing army, it furnished the only gov- ernment for almost two centuries. From this N ' ast territon ' , go erned at first by a group of adventurers, the Dominion of today was carved. Today the Company of Adventurers has become a fifteen million dollar cor- poration. Since the first crossing of the Nonsuch a fleet of ri er, lake, and ocean steamers have appeared, and displacing the early trading posts, stocked with in- ferior implements and ornaments for the Indians, a chain of department stores from Winnipeg to X ancouvcr are operating. From a land of wondrous lakes and forests which has for four hundred years supplied the rich -ith furs of enchanting beauty, a company devoted to the bet- terment of the Dominion of Canada and its business has succeeded. The story of the Hudson ' s Bay Company cannot be told in a few words. It lives today as the world ' s greatest fur enterprise.

Intercepted passes spelled defeat for the Toilers. On two differ- ent occasions Universit - intercepted Mickey McCardlc ' s tosses that were good for scores. As onl - four Toiler letternien returned from last year ' s squad, the balance of the team was composed of members of last season ' s Bee team and resen ' cs from the varsity. In the early stages of the game it looked as if the Artisans were headed for an- other string of victories as McCardle led the Toilers in a drive of 47 yards in four successive plays. This was the only time that Manual looked like the team of old. Don Priemer and Jack Elscr marched the Warriors of University to victory, playing outstanding offensively as well as defensively. Mickey McCardle was easily the star of the fracas by his deceiving running and excellent quick kicking. Andy Aitken and Bud Miller were also doing exceptionally well on the forward wall of Manual Arts. SPORTS 131 Manual Arts, o; Fairfax, o— October 13 Manual Arts in its second practice game of the year held a highlv faxored Fairfax eleven to a scoreless tie. The Toilers of Manual pla ed 100 per cent better football than the did the previous week against Universit . and b superb blocking and icious tackling were able to hold the score 0-0. The Toiler line play was tremendouslv improved and this figured well in holding Fairfax to a deadlock. The Fairfax Colonials, strong contenders for the cit crown, advanced the ball to Manual ' s 12 vard line and were stopped as Frank Snvder intercepted a pass thrown b (Torpedo) Harrison, the Colonial fullback, and ran the ball back to his own 36 vard line. Fairfax never threatened again. The Toiler machine showed great improvement in its passing attack as it completed a number of passes for lengthy gains. Both teams played a fine defensive game with running guard, fack Clave being in on a number of plays for the Colonials. For Manual, the whole line did well, led by co-captain Andy Aitken, Bud Miller, Bernie Ashlev, and Tommy Fears. In the Toiler backfield, Mickey McCardle turned in his usual brilliant performance, as our Student Body Presi- dent. Tom Baker, did fine also. 132 THE ARTISAN W ' 4o .V . i8i i- mmtMi C-« ! • '  ■ jfi ' w ' 4 . M«?fJ i MANUAL ARTS, 7; POLYTECHNIC. 6-October 20 Not to l)c defeated bv a stubborn Poly eleven, the Toiling Toilers eanic from behind to nab a thrilling victory, by the tune of 7 to 6, in the first league game of the 1939 campaign. During the first period. Manual drove dov n to the Polv 12 ard line on two different occasions, losing the ball on downs both times. This was the only serious scoring threat in the entire first half. As the second half opened, the Mechanics, after a series of reverses and off- tackle slants, ad anccd the pigskin to Manual Arts ' 8 yard line. Here they were stopped as Manual rcco ' ered a Poly fumble on their own 5 yard mark. McCardle then kicking from behind his own goal line, punted beautifully down to the Poly 45, where Johnny Pccel, Mechanic quarterback, streaked down the field ,5 yards for a Polytechnic touchdown, ' i ' he con ersion was muffed. Manual, taking the kickoff on their own i8 yard line, advanced to the 20, at which point McCardle fumbled and the Parrots recovered. Poly then drove to the Artisans ' 10 vard line where thcv were halted for three successi e plays. On the 4th down and still 10 vards to go for a touchdown Benavidez, Poh fullback, tossed a pass which was intercepted bv Mickc - McCardle, three ards back of his own goal line, who raced down the field, eluding and shaking off would-be tacklcrs for a Manual Arts touchdown. The run was good for 103 yards. This tied the score 6 to 6. Regardless of the weighty responsibility resting upon Mickey, he coolly booted the extra digit that changed a tie into a Toiler triumph. McCardle, easilv turning in his most brilliant performance to date, was the star of the contest. Scott, Baker, Aitkcn, Ashlev, Prince, Miller, and Lindsay also played outstandinglv for Manual. Bena idez and Kazarian showed up well for the losers. SPORTS Manual Arts, 20; Fremont, iq— October 27 Pla ing before a capacity crowd of nearly 10,000 fans, the mighty Toilers of Manual Arts, came out on top of a hard fought battle, with the Pathfinders of Fremont, h the score of 20 to iq. The Pathfinders scored on the opening kickoff as the Toilers let the ball roll over the goal line, where Bill Eastman, F ' remont guard, downed it for a Pathfinder score. Tom Baker batted down the attempted pass for conversion. However, the Toilers were not to be stopped by this eady lead, as they retaliated with a series of power plays and reverses, for a march of 64 yards and a Manual touchdown, with McCardle going over from the 7 yard line. Mickey also place- kicked the extra digit to put Manual Arts in the lead, 7 to 6. The Toilers again scored in the second period, as McCardle skirted right end for 37 ards, being tackled on the two-foot mark. Bill Scott, on the first pla ' , went over for another Artisan score. McCardle ' s try for point went wide, making the count 13 to 6. Early in the third quarter the Pathfinders, taking advantage of a poor punt, scored on a beautifulh- executed end around re crse from the Toilers ' 8 yard stripe. The conxersion attempt was blocked. Manual still holding the lead 13 to 12. Fremont kicked off, after their second tally, to McCardle on his own 5 yard line and behind beautiful down-field blockmg, ran the ball to Fremont ' s 20 yard stripe where he was knocked out of bounds, this being the prettiest play of the game. The ball was advanced to the 9 yard line a few plays later where Mickey chalked up 6 more points for the Purple and Crey. McCardle ' s educated toe sent the ball squareh- between the uprights to keep Manual out in front 20 to 12. Near the close of the last period, Fremont staged a drive of some 70 yards for a score. The conversion failed. The final score was Manual Arts 20, Fremont 19. 134 THE ARTISAN W 40 Manual Arts, 13; Roosc%clt, 12 — No embcr 3 A determined and strong Artisan congregation nosed out a powerful squad of invading Ronghriders of Roose ' elt in somewhat of a hectic duel, 13 to 12. Mickey McCardle, again pacing the Toilers to victory, turned in his habitual spectacular performance with some extra super fanc - passes for touchdowns. Before 7 minutes of the first period had elapsed the Toilers had crossed the Roughrider goal line for six points, as a result of a pass from Mickev McCardle to Tom Downs who in turn lateraled back to Frank Snyder who rambled on to pa - dirt. McCardle ' s attempted con ' ersion was wide. The second Artisan score came as a result of a beautiful pass from Manual ' s ball of fire Mickey McCardle to Tonmiy Fears, who caught the ball in the end zone after out-maneuvering the Roughrider backfield aces to get into the clear. The conversion was made good by a place-kick from the toe of McCardle. Roosevelt scored by means of a blocked Artisan punt hich rolled o er the goal line where Willie Moore, Roughrider guard, pounced on the ball for a touchdown. The conversion attempted fell short. The second Roughrider tally was brought about by a sustained drive down- field, climaxed by a penalty for pass interference which placed the pigskin on the 1 yard line. Zinkin, Roosevelt fullback, crashed over from this point. Zinkin then tried to push over the extra point, but failed, giving the Toilers the margin of ' ictorv. George Prince, Bernie Ashle -, Frank Sn der, Da e Plumle ' , and Bo d Slatter played well on the forward wall for the Toilers. Tom Baker and Micke McCardle were outstanding in the backfield. sroRi ' S 155 Manual Arts, o; Jcffcrsun, 32— Noxfiiibtr 10 Suffering its worst defeat in man ' cars, the Toilers of Manual Arts were on the short end of a 32 to o score, handed them b ' a powerful aggregation of Demo- crats of Jefferson. Micke - McCardlc of Manual and Tom Pollard of Jefferson played excep- tionally well in the da ' s encounter with the latter running 68 yards to a Democrat score on one occasion through a broken field. The Artisans threatened the Jefferson goal line only once, that being late in the fourth quarter in a dri c led by Bob Johnston, reserve halfback. The drive was halted on the Democrat 1 1 vard stripe as Toiler passes fell incomplete in the end zone. Jefferson pro cd to be one of the strongest teams in the school ' s history by winning their first Southern League Championship. Micke - McCardle was injured in the opening of the third period as a result of a badh twisted ankle. Bob Johnston, who replaced McCardle, played spectacu- larly. John Bruno did well also, replacing McCardle. The Toilers again came through the onslaught with a number of injuries, these being, George Prince, Bernie Ashley, Tommy Fears, Larry Boyd, Bob Keyte, and McCardle. Tom Pollard and Sam Matlock turned spectacular performances as they out- raced all opposition for several long touchdown jaunts. Andy Aitken, Bud Miller, and Warren Lindsay played well on the line for the Toilers as Bill Scott, Bob Johnston, and Mickey McCardle were the sparkplugs of the Toiler attack. 136 THE ARTISAN 4o Manual Arts, 7; Washington, 13— November 17 An injun, ' ridden and battered Toiler eleven took the field against a deter- mined and fighting Washington High team onlv to get set back by the score of 13 to 7. The Artisans drew first blood when And Aitken, Toiler tackle, blocked a punt of the Generals and Bob Sanchez, Artisan quarterback, picked up the ball and traveled 25 yards to pay dirt. Mickey McCardlc entered the contest at this point and calmly and coolly kicked the goal for that extra digit. The Artisans held this lead throughout the first half. Midway in the third period the Generals marched to a touchdown, with Frierson, fullback, bucking the ball over from the Toilers ' 4 yard stripe. The conversion try was made good by Kirschke, reserve quarterback, to tie up the count 7 to 7. The second Washington tally came as a resul t of a 16 yard run through the center of the Toiler forward wall. Kirschke ' s attempted conversion try failed. During the fracas the Toilers again took their share of the injuries. Bob John- ston, who was seriously injured internalh; W arren Lindsav ' , suffered a broken ankle; Frank Snyder, a broken wrist; Buddy Miller, a re-injured elbow; Bernie Ash- ley and Keith Dunnan injured backs; George Prince was laid up. and Mickey Mc- Cardle was permitted to play but a few minutes. Those who completed their high school football careers on this day were: Andy Aitken, Tom Baker, Bernie Ashley, Larry Boyd, Bob Sanchez, Bud Miller, Warren Lindsav ' . Bob Johnston, George Prince. Tom Downs, Boyd Slatter, Bob Keyte, Leon Armond, Gil Begun, and one of the greatest halfbacks ever to attend Manual Arts, Leon McCardle. 22 2 1 t t f:. 1 v }4 ;i J i : VARSITY FOOTBALL Nabbing second spot in the Sonthcrn Leagnc race, the Toilers of Mannal Arts have again proven themselves to be one of the best teams in the city, as Mannal was chosen to plav in the Annnal Carnival. However, due to many injuries on the squad, the - were unable to participate. The spearhead of Manual ' s attack was the famed ' Irish Arrow Mickey Mc- Cardle. Miekev was easily the most outstanding in the city, as was shown by his wonderful performance in the Chicago-Los Angeles All-Star game. Micke ' , after being injured seriously last vear, came back and pro cd he was not slowed up any because of this unfortunate mishap. Manual ' s baekfield stars throughout the year were: Bob Sanchez and Bob Ke ' te at quarter; Tom Barker at right half: Larr - Boyd and Bill Scott at fullback; and McCardle at left half. On the forward wall were: Frank Snyder and Tommy Fears at ends; Andy Aitkin and Buddy Miller at tackles; George Prince and Bernie Ashle ' at guards, and Warren Lindsay at center. 138 THE ARTISAN W ' 40 Leon (Mickey) McCardle— Left Half Sparkplug of Manual ' s attack for the past two seasons. Proved to be one of the greatest running backs in the city. He was given a berth on the AU-Citv and All-Southern league teams. McCar- dle ' s greatest thrill came as he ran 103 vards to a touchdown against Poly. Mickey ' s shoes will be hard to fill next ear. Andy Aitken-Left Tackle Andy, the most brilliant of all Toiler linemen, tore the enemv line apart manv a time. Andv ' s value to the team can be seen by his playing more minutes than anyone else on the squad. He was placed on the All-Southern League team as well as being mentioned on the All-Citv team. Andv will not return next season. Buddy Miller-Right Tackle Buddy was the rough and ready Crusher type of player. Played his best ball against the Poly eleven as he constanth- threw the Poly backs for huge losses. Buddy had the misfortune of dis- locating his elbow and played all year with his arm in a specialh- manufactured brace. He will not answer roll call next season. Tom Baker-Right Half Tom, very capably held down the right halfback spot on the Toiler varsity. Second to Aitken was Tom in the number of minutes played. Shin- ing on defense, very little yardage was gained through Tom from his outside half position. Will not return next year. SPORTS i 9 Bernard Ashle — Right Guard Another one up from the Bee ranks of last vear good enough to make varsity. Bernie was probably the smallest running guard in the his tory of the school and still one of the greatest. While weighing onh ' about 148 pounds he was the deadliest blocker on the team and a hard tackier. Will not return next vear. Leo Savoian— Left Guard Leo was an understudy for Prince and did not weaken the team anv when he was in the game. Alwa s a hard charger and deadh ' tackier and was known for his ability of catching the runners from behind. Leo has another vear of competi- tion Keith Dunnan— Right Guard Another brilliant running guard was Keith who alternated with Ashlev. Given credit for being the most impro cd pla er on the team. Keith blocked the conversion attempt in the P ' remont game to give the Toilers a thrilling victory. Keith will not be back. Bob Judd— Center Bob was another of Manual ' s disabled as he was injured in the second league contest and was through for the vear. Bob played fine ball in the short time he participated and was expected to do brillianth-. Bob, howe er. has one more year of playing left. 140 THE ARTISAN W ' 40 Bill Scott-Full Bill was a hard dri ing fullback always good for at least 2 or :5 yards. Although new at this posi- tion. Bill picked up his duties splendidly. Bill plaved end on last year ' s Bee team. Bill should develop into one of the finest of fullbacks next car. Bob Sanchez— Quarter Smallest man on the squad was Bob who tipped the beams at 139 pounds. Bob was a very good signal caller and was noted for his blocking. Bob knew every position of the backfield and could fill any of these posts if it were necessary. Bob is a Senior Bee and will not return. Bob Keyte— Quarter Bob alternated with Sanchez as starting quarter- back. Bob was a capable punter and a good pass defense man. Had experience as a quarterback from the Bee team of two ears ago. He was not in school last vear and returned this year to bolster the team considerably. Bob is a Senior Aye and will not return. Dan Conforti— I ' ull Altho onl - a tenth grader, Dan plaved like a ' eteran at all times. As a line backer he was mag- nificent, nailing the enemy line time after time with his dcadh- tackling. Dan has two more years of competition left and has a great future in store for him. SPORTS Frank Snyder— Right End Smiling Frankic was the best pass snaggcr on the squad being on the receiving end of most of McCardle ' s tosses. Frank was placed on the All- Southern League ele en, being the only junior to make the team. Great things are expected of Frank next ear. Tommy Fears— Left End Tommy is one of four returning lettcrmen from last ear ' s squad and was an important cog in the Manual machine. Tommy loved to get down under punts and nail the foe dead in his tracks. Tommv will be back next vear. Dave Plumley— Left End Another of the famous Plumle) ' clan, Dave was a sensation on defense. His special talent was the smearing up of reverse plays around his end. Prol)- ably the most colorful player on the team with his steady line of chatter. Dave is returning next year. Leon Armond— Right Half Leon was one of the fastest backs on the entire Toiler team and was always a threat on the re eeiving end of reverse plays. Leon was a good blocker and good pass defense. Was a good place kicker and did most of the kicking off for Manual. Leon will not be back next season. 142 THE ARTISAN W ' 40 Dick Cooper— Left Tackle Dick had the hard task of understudying Aitken, and filled in fairh ' well. Inexperience was the only factor which kept Dick off the first string. Being onlv an eleventh grader enables Dick to have another vear of competition. He should be one of Manual ' s top linemen next year. George Prince— Left Guard After playing two years on the lightweights, ' Tunchv ad anced to the varsity ranks where he held down the left guard post with no trouble at all. George was one of the fastest of all Toiler linemen and was great on getting down under punts. Made the prettiest tackle of the year against Polv when he nailed a Poly back after catching a punt. George is a Senior and will not be back. Boyd Slatter-Right End Bovd held down the right end spot along with Snvder and was one of the best defensive ends in the league. Constantlv Boyd was in the enemy backficld smearing up the interference before thev could get going. Boyd will not return next vear. Warren Lindsay— Center Named as second string center on the All-Sou- thern League team, W arren pro ed to be just about as fine a center as anyone could ask for. Starring on defense Warren would tear immense holes in the enem - line to enable the Toiler backs to gain plenty of yardage. Warren will not return. SPORTS M Tom Downs— Left End Tom was another of tlic Toiler ' s brilliant ends and was an excellent pass snagger too. Tom play- ed the best ball of his high school career in the Fremont game when the Fremont backs were haunted b the consistenc - of Tom ' s ability to break up their pla s. Tom will not be back. Larr Bovd— Full Larr - was another returning letterman from last year ' s squad and was the Toiler ' s No. i fullback. Being injured in the first league fracas, Larry came back near the close of the season and proved he was a great pla er. Larrv will not return next fall. Ht Tom Dance— Manager Tom did a ven excellent job of managing the team this ear and he deserxes a lot of credit for his accomplishment. 144 THE ARTISAN W 40 CLASS BEE FOOTBALL In a condition similar to that of the varsity situation, the Manual Bee team, sorel} ' handicapped by an injury scourge which left the squad irtuall helpless for two weeks, managed to make a creditable showing. Tutored by Coach Charles Toney, the eleven displayed remarkable defen- sive ability and flashed brilliance on the defensive. The boys crashed out four triumphs, tied one, and lost two. Univcrsit mid- dleweights were downed 7-0, and Hollywood 6-0 in the successful practice season. In the Southern League opener the Toilers flopped Pohtechnic Bees 6-0, but a technicality declared one of the Manual plavcrs ineligible and the Mechanics garnered credit for the victory. The Fremont Pathfinders were nipped 7-6 by Bill Hutchins ' perfect place- ment boot the following week. At this point the Toiler machine broke down to suffer a 3-0 licking by the Roosevelt Roughriders. The Jefferson Democ rats tied up the Manualites after further losses due to injuries and the Toilers were out of the Southern League race. The Manual boys picked the undefeated Washington Generals, who walked off with the Southern League gonfalon, for their final victory. Bill Hutchins and Paul Henr - were the indi idual stars in the smashing 15-0 upset. Quarterback Bill Hutchins, fullback Junior Brown, and halfbacks Paul Henr ' , Vern Thompson, and Humbert Figueroa, led the Artisan defense work, assisted bv blockers John Mobelv, Paul Wynne, and Evans Parker. A d namic Toiler for- ward wall of Delane Lewis and Teddy May, ends; Walt Moore, Wayne Bur- dick, and Ken Wilcox, tackles; Bill Ozaki and Seb laia, guards; and Ed Someriad, center; over-powered all opposition. I I S P O R T S H5 CLASS CEE FOOTBALL Completing the season with a reeord of one loss, one tic and two wins in league plav the Toiler Cce squad came through after a slow start to find them- selves tied with Roose ' elt and San Pedro for Cit Champs. After opening the season ' s pla}- with a loss to Loyola by a 7-0 score the Cce ' s marched on San Pedro onh- to be set back to the tunc of 6-0. Undaunted, the Midgies came back to eke out a --6 ictor - o er the Roosevelt Roughriders. After Roose elt had beaten Los Angeles and Manual had beaten Roosevelt the best the Toiler could do in their next game, with Los Angeles, was to split the tally- ing 6-6. The season was brought to a successful close by trouncing Washington 12-0. Headed bv Mentor Max Aron. assisted by Gonzy Gonzales and Meredith McGec, the squad shaped up from ver - green material to a smooth running team. The first string had Tucker at left end. Tucker scored, when needed most, on long passes hv Bcrman. Right tackle Baldwin was one of the defensive stand- outs along with guard Uchima. Center Ruoff ably filled the forced -acancy of injured Captain Bill Somedad. At the other guard was Kobayachi, a brilliant per- former and stead - first stringer. The other tackle and end were Dow and Trero- tola. Both turned in consistenth ' good performances. Marshall sparkled at quarter while Dunlap at fullback was a ke - man in offense and defense. Evangolotos and Karatsu at the hahes completed the backfield. With Dow, Uchima, Tucker. Kobayashi. Ruoff. Marshall. Dunlap. and Kar- atsu, as standouts, the Gee squad justified its presence on the top of the pile at the season ' s end. 146 T H E A R T I S A N W ' 4o COACH WENDELL SNUFFY SMITH Stepping into the emptied boots of the famous Sunnv Jim Blewett as head football mentor of the Manual Arts arsitv, is an athlete and all around fellow who answers to the name of Wendell Snuffv Smith. Wendell, when he attended Occidental College in Eagle Rock, California, was one of the greatest athletes in the school ' s history. He was selected All-Coast end for tv o ears, and undoubtedh would have been given All-American recognition, had he gone to a larger institution. As a track man, he also excelled. Competing in the discus, shot-put, low and high hurdles, SnufF was high point man in nearly every meet. That Snuff - Smith has great potentialities for making one of the most brilliant of football mentors, can be judged b ' his performance at Manual. In his first year of football tutoring, he came up with an undefeated and championship Class Bee eleven. This year ' s yarsit ' nabbed second spot in the Southern League standings, which is a good record. Injuries plus plenty of green material hampered the Manual Arts varsity- all season. If the students keep up the same spirit that prevailed during this grid campaign, it is certain that Coach Smith will ha e a very successful season next ear.

The Crees, Blackfeet and Ojibwas or Chippevvas had a song for ever ' occasion of their lives, great or little, happy, sad or commonplace. Even,- event or thought might evoke a song. It is in song that every Indian spoke across abysmal chaos, and communed with or commanded the potent powers of the divine spirits. In the dancing of the Crees, dramatic and imaginative utterances and impell- ing rhythm combined to produce an athletic expression of health and joy in living. In the best dancing of the Crees the leader wore a gorgeous headdress, elaborate in every detail; the other se ' en men dressed in ordinar - garb. Some gave quick, soft, drum beats; others, terrific loud single beats. Much of the singing was one note, but with man ' cjuaxcrs; and once in a while, loud ho-ho ' s. The music started, and the men stood up to dance when the spirit moved them. Most of the group stood in place, marking time with two beats to each foot, almost without lifting, and chiefh ' heel work. First one, and then another and another, would rush to the center of the circle and dance without restraint until he became too exhausted to continue. At this point one of the men would carr - on until he too, became fatigued. Just as they expressed themseh ' cs in dances of triumph, defeat, war, hate, desire and propitiation of the gods, the Indians had song and dances of love. Love songs which had a trend of Acarning and parting constituted a fa orite form of music among the Chi]3pe a. The voung Chippewan took his flute and best blanket, and betook himself to the neighborhood of his belo ed. Pla ing a beautiful yearning melody upon his flute, he strolled back and forth where the maiden could see him. If she should fa or his manner, she came out and was rcceixed in the folds of his blanket, and the two strolled awa into the darkness. If he did not possess a flute, he sang to her softh ' , using the most poetical words at his command. The indi idual feeling and sentiment that the Indian puts into his music gives it a simple but romantic rlnthm for which it is renowned throughout the world.

As presented before two thrilled audiences, the Cat and Canary pro ed to be one of the most outstanding mystery plays ever seen at Manual Arts. Adapted from the pla ersion of the same name, it provided a display of out- standing dramatic abilitv of the players. Betty Steuckert was extremely effective in her portraval, as was Bob Stimson, who pla ed the part of the lawyer. Marie Allison and Lee Snitzer were both excellently cast. Completing the cast was Don Motter, whose clever acting ability was revealed; Larr) ' Kilty, who brought forth the laughs in the play; Marjorie Green, who appeared in a heavy role; and Eddie Shea and Bill Stone. Each character triilv supported the other in the de elopment of a fast moving plot. The plav is in an old mansion where the sole survivors of Cyrus West meet, twentv vears after his death. There a murdering fiend tries to gain access to the entire fortune left to Annabelle West. Jealou.sly reigns supreme, while suspicion of the murder of Roger Crosby falls on all. Not until the last few minutes of the play is the murderer discovered with his horrible cat-like mask. To everyone ' s surprise the unmasking shows Charlie Wilder as the person bringing horror to the old mansion. Charles Barret ' s organ accompanyment contributes to making the play mysti- frying. The stage crew that so ably administered the changes of scenery, and all who took part in the production of the play deserve nuich credit.

CAT AND CANARY i8o T H E A R T I S A N 40 THE ' OYAGEUR Bv Charlotte Gogue The age in whicli wc hve now is one of rapid transit. Vc ha e become so accustomed to modern methods of transportation that is is difficult for us to understand and appreciate the tremendous difficulties of early travelers. The French Canadian and half-breed voyageurs were a happy-go-lucky set. content with the world if their stomachs were satisified and their pipes were filled with tobacco. They were very fond of bright-colored clothing and their appearance was quite picturesque. The vovageurs were employed by either the Hudson ' s Bay Company or the Northwest Company to transport supplies by canoe to distant forts and trading posts. On the morning of the departure a dozen or more birchbark canoes were afloat at the edge of the river. During the process of loading the cargoes great care was taken to pre ' ent the canoes from touching anything except the water, for even a scrape against the gra -el bottom might start a leak. The swarthy oyageurs resplendent in scarlet sashes, beaded moose-hide moccasins and colored kerchielfs tied turban-fashion around their heads, stepped lightly into the canoes, the bow- man being the last to enter. The ' 0 ageurs then sho ' ed out into the current and fell into line, one behind the other. At this time pipes were lighted and parting shouts and salutes were given to those behmd. Sometimes it was easy going for miles, but often the current quickened and a long reach of turbulent white-crested water stretched across the stream from shore to shore. Rapids! Jagged rocks loomed up from the depths of the water. Destruction seemed imminent more than once, but the crew were fully masters of the situation, and deft paddling at the proper time enabled them to avoid all obstacles. More dangerous rapids called for close attention, and the right thing had to be done at exactly the right moment. Oc- casionally rapids were met that onh ' the boldest and most expert would attempt, and even they frequenth- came to grief. During the peaceful hours of the trip, the tall trees on shore seemed to march past in stately procession and presently some one started up a lively chanson a I ' aviron known as The White Rose. Paddles were dipped in rhythm as the chorus echoed from bank to bank of the silent rixer and up through the spruce- covered hills: Je n ' ai pas trou e personne Que le rossignol chantant la belle rose. La belle roce du rosier blanc! Qui me dit dans son langage Marie-toe, car il est temps, a la belle rose, A la belle rose du rosier blanc Comment eux-tu que je me marie avec la belle rose. La belie rose du rosier blanc? Mon pere n ' est pas content de la belle rose, De la belle rose du rosier blanc! Ni mon pere, ni mon mere, Ni acum de mes parents. La belle rose du rosier l)lanc!

As I stand here, many questions enter my mind. Seated before vou are 400 graduating seniors going out into a cruel and realistic wodd. What are these voung men and women going to do when they graduate? What kind of standards are the going to set? How are they going to get along? Before answering these questions, let us examine and draw conclusions from the foundations upon which great nations are built and from the traits of the Mounties. The storm clouds hovering over Europe have burst; raining upon the pop- ulace a war of hate, fear, greed, and barbarisms that are rapidlv shunting Europe back to the Dark Ages. Man-made boundaries are constantly being changed with the flow of the tide of war. Treaties, bearing the faith of one nation in another, are being scrapped. Obligations, assumed by the nations in peace, have been for- gotten. Nations no longer are willing to arbitrate by conference and discussion, but ha e renounced the Locarno Treaty and are returning to a principle which now dominates the Continent as it did in 1914. The principle that might makes right. Nations engineered on such foundations shall crumble. For the last centurv and a quarter Canada and the United States have grown inseparable. Their governments and peoples act and think alike. Between these two great democracies lies the most unique border in the world. An unguarded border 4000 miles long and 125 years old. Since its inception, even during time of national stress, it has remained unviolated in its trust. The treaties and obligations we assumed with Canada thru our foreign policv of Pan-Americanism and our national financial pohc - of reciprocal trade agreements have born fruit which has ripened thru the years. When any problem arises between the United States and Canada, a conference is called and the dispute is arbitrated by peaceful means. In the land of the Maple Leaf insuring its peoples that the principle upon which that a nation was founded will be kept, are the Canadian Mounted Police. It was these men who when Canada was but a wilderness v ent out, pioneered, and with courage and patience hewed a nation out of this gigantic forest. The spirit that made them proud to say I am a Canadian became our spirit which makes us proud to sav I am an American. The Mounties have taught us that a peaceful nation is a loving nation, that a peaceful country is courageous in the protection of the weak, loyal to its ideals, and principles, that a nation so con- ceived and so dedicated shall not crumble. What arc these students going to do when they graduate? How are they to get along? NNHiat standards are they going to see? People in order to get along must possess certain faculties. People must have certain principles and ideals by which tiic)- are gomg to govern themselves. Only by setting up one ' s comparable i84 THE ARTISAN W 40 to the working example existing in and between the United States and Canada and bv their namesakes the Mounties can they ever expect to maintain financial independence and social security.

CONQUERING NEW FRONTIERS Bv Marion Smith We the class of Winter ' 40 have chosen as our name the Mounties. The in- spiration for this name was taken from that splendid organization now known as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, a bodv of men who stand for loyalty and courage, and whose objectives are to keep peace and promote national welfare. Since we are being graduated into a world torn by strife and war we should strive to follow in the footsteps of our namesakes bv maintaining these same ob- jectives. Doing so, we indeed need to hold fast to their ideals of lo ' alt}- to our country and courage to face the future. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police has long played an important part in upholding law and order in the great and friendly nation to our north. It is Canada ' s success in upholding law and order, despite geographical obstacles of miles of wilderness, hich has made it comparativeh ' eas ' to establish and main- tain the Good Neighbor polic ' to which President Roosevelt dedicated the United States in his first inaugural address. The Good Neighbor he described as The neighbor who resolutely respects himself, and because he does so, respects the rights of others, the neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of his agreements in and with world neighbors. When the Canadian Mounties were first organized an incident oceured which might have resulted in serious international consequences had there not been this mutual respect of good neighbors. An occasion arose for the Mounties to cross the territory of the United States in order to reach their destination. Because of their title which was originalh Canadian Mounted Rifles a protest was made on the assumption that this organization was a militar ' order. The contro ' ersy which resulted was not settled in the way so often resorted to in this world of international upheaval, with warfare, but in the way of the Good Neighbor. The Canadian Prime Minister stated, This bod of men shall be men of peace and not men of war. Therewith he struck out the word Rifles and changed the name to Northwest Mounted Police. Ultimately the n ame was changed to Royal Canadian Mounted Police. FEATURK S 185 Tlic secret of tlic Mounties ' success is not that he al va s gets his iiuin, but his liigli standing in the e cs of tlie people. I ' liis higli stanchng is due not oul to tlic group as a whole but to each indi idual. ' I here arc certain qualifications which each member of the force must possess. No person is appointed unless he professes a religious belief and contributes to it. He must be of sound constitu- tion, active, and able-bodied, of good character with unimpeachable references. He has to pass the most rigid medical examination and be able to read and write either English or French. The pay is so low that it does not attract men who are mereh ' looking for monev. The authorities hope to attract and do, the man with idealism, ision, patriotism, and naturally the man with a desire for adventure. Much of the fine history of Canada is due to the outstanding work of such men. Their first small band, consisting of only 300, had to establish their posts, break up illegal trade, win the confidence of the Indians, and really make pos- sible the settlement of the territories. Thev accomplished their tasks so well that thev have been recognized as Empire Builders by welding together the forces of peace. Todav, the Mounties are still pressing northward into vast regions of unexplored country The - are standing as an internal protection of Canadian ideals and demoeraev against all isms, except patriotism. They are protecting the life and propert - of the people b - upholding the Canadian traditions of good- will, understanding, and brotherhood. You ma - hear the cr - of those who minimize their achie ements and argue that they live in a countrv where there is more opportunity than in our own. Not e en all the land has xet been explored. But that is the plaint of the defeatist. Life in the United States presents just as many opportunities for ei ' ic and per- sonal achievement as does life in Canada. Just because all our geographical frontiers are gone it does not follow that we li e in a country where there is no future. Complaints against the times into which they chanced to be born were not made by the men who ha e challenged the frontiers of the air, men who have planned, built, and successfully flown Giant Clippers across the Atlantic Ocean, nor were the - made b the men who ha e recently discovered manganese here in America, thus making us less dependent on foreign importation. They were not made b men who planned, built, and arc now successfully operating Diesel engines or b - the men who brought air-conditioning into trains, planes, factories, and homes; nor h the men who brought television almost to the point where it can be used commercialh . Such complaints were not made by the women who worked along with the men in these new industries, which are only examples that come soonest to mind. Those people didn ' t waste their breath sighing for lost fronti ers. Thew like the Mounted Police, had the ision to see these new paths of progress, and tlic liad the spirit of adxcnturc and courage to pursue these paths. In education, in art. and culture, in science, in commerce, and above all, in the broad fields of social and international relations there arc opportunities galore, new frontiers, to take the place of old ones. ' e are going forth this evening with the Mountie spirit of courage and ad -enturc to face and conquer these new frontiers. i86 THE ARTISAN W 40 Royal Canadian Mounted Officer Bondurant, and Friends ' aterton Lakes Area WATERTON-GLACIER INTERNATIONAL PEACE PARK Dedicated to International Peace are the beautiful adjoining parks of Glacier in Northern Montana and Waterton Lakes in southeastern British Columbia.

The valley lies be- tween Arrowhead and Big Bear, just off the main road. It is a beautiful place and is always covered with snow in the winter time. Last year one thousand autos, every week visited this grand winter resort. The parking space was not adequate and not enough trees were cleared away, so large spaces were limited. This ear parking space will accommodate more than two thousand cars. Another ski hut was erected and one more ski tow, also. SKIING Today we look forward to the coming of cold weather, rather than dreading it. It gives us a chance to ski, skate, and sled. During the past few years there has truly been a skiing boom. We find that the ski was a necessity years ago, while now it is a popular sport. Skiing was introduced in this countr - b ' our Scandinavian settlers in the early part of the nineteenth centurv. The ' brought their techniques and ideas which ga c us the two main parts of skiing— cross country skiing (langlaufing) and ski jumping. Ski fe ' cr recognizes no geographical boundary. But the real reason for its popularity is the fun, thrill, and adventure one gets from making himself com- plete master of the mo ements of those two boards. There is just as much thrill for the beginner when he makes that first turn upright as there is to the ad- vanced skier who finall - makes his first graceful tempo, and no matter how expert a skier becomes, there is alwa s more to learn. The spills, jumps, and perfect runs are all a part of the games as well as the enjoyment and tired, contended feeling one has when sitting around the fire at night to talk o cr the fun. FEATURES i8q THE LIBRARY By L. Roewekamp The Manual Arts High School libran- in the Art Building is designed to sen ' e the informational, inspirational, and recreational needs of students and fac- ulty. Books and reading add to the student ' s life in the finer qualities of character, concentration, and learning. Students make this room a place of dignit ' and beautv. keved to the fine thnigs of mind and spirit, as cll as a tool for the discovery of needed practical information. A earefulh- selected collection of books, periodicals, pamphlets, and pictures aid in the dexelopnient and enrichment of their life experiences. A course in librar science is offered to Ai i and senior students for credit. The completion of this course occasionally aids good students to find libran- employ- ment to assist them while attending college. A knowledge of the use of the school librar - furnishes students with a kev to further education, whether the - continue to college or not: because our school library is bcnig catalogued with the same system of book classification employed bv most public libraries. An acquain tance with books, appreciation of their contents, and care in their use is fostered b all ital teaching throughout the school. 190 THE A R T I S A N W ' 40 Ward ' an N ' elzcr, Yosliioki Ogita, Bill Blackburn ARTISAN PHOTOGRAPHY STAFF RULERS OF SHADOWS Light, Focus Stillness Who can say that photographers Do not chase shadows.

When one of them was asked why she was going to college, she opened her big blue eyes in sincere astonishment to think tiiat a person should ask such a com- monplace question and retorted, For a man of course! No wonder she was so surprised at my stupidity; silly of me to forget the only reason some people go to college is to ' get a man. ' Well, li e and learn. I was stumped though at finding a person with a truK ' candid opinion. You see. she protested, noticing m - surprise, that ' s the only reason for any girl who isn ' t a studious indi idual to go to college. That ' s where the finest men will be found, so I ' ll find ' em, all right. She was a typical ' beautiful but dumb ' t pe. Nexcrtheless she does have something there— a purpose which is more than many of us ha e had. Typical of mam who are going to college are examples 2 and 5. The first of these two, a girl. I found to be the daughter of college graduates, although to look at her ou would ne er guess it. She shelters no glimpse of imagination or per- sonalit - and one cannot help but wonder what college has to offer her. Perhaps it will gi c her a new outlook on life, and ct society will not have profited from it. She made the following statement in a dull, lifeless tone: Yeah. I ' m going to college. ' h ? Well, mv folks went and want me to go. they said Ed like it. Then with an inanimate shrug she mo ed on. The male of the species I found reclining on a bench. With a perfectly blank countenance, his blearv. uninterested gaze gave him a clear field. So I proceeded to ask him the ' ital questions. After drawling out a few protests and I had coaxed him sufficiently, he rcluct- antlv rendered the following information. Guess a guy oughta ha ' e a college education. Onh- wa - to get a job I guess. I counld not help but thmk how wonderful it must be to ha e such implicit faith in something as remote as education. It happened that the girl whom 1 inter iewed next was the stricth business t pe, ver studious with a predetermination which was pathetic. She also had a verv designing look in her eye. As m ' questions didn ' t call for much more cerebration, she gave me a sharp, blunt opinion which could only be conceived by a speculating gid with glasses. Gollcgc is absolutelv imperative for any person with any foresight whatso- ever. There is nothing more stupid that an unread, unlettered person, cspccialh ' where there is such an opportunity available to all. High school can ' t possibly full- fil these requirements well enough. Her trite remark left me in awe. Prejudiced? You know it! After interviewing students who weren ' t going to college and had sane, substantial reasons for not doing so. 192 T II E A R r I S A N y 40 The fluffy blonde ill find college a place presenting not only personalities but perplexities as well. Poinding more of the latter, she might find a solution through one of the following ways; ( 1 . ) Finding that which she had her heart set on, a man and marry him. On the other hand, as she is not a sorority girl, she might not find a man to her liking. (2.) Becoming thoroughly disgusted, go to work in the 5 and 10 only to find the one and only an ordinary streetcar conductor with beautiful eyes and uniform to his credit. Chances are that she will flunk out after her first term, as she chose too difficult a college and course. ( 3.) She might enter a beaut ' contest, becoming popular stuff about the campus or have a knack of being the best looker on the campus. If any of the aforementioned ideas are true, she will land a mo ie contract. Next was our daughter of the college graduate with the lack of inertia nec- essary for a college nonclick. Our little friend is t pical, howc er, of the majorit - of students. Some of our little friends merely occup ' space and continue to do so in college and later life. They are necessary partly because the ha ' e to be ' ic- tims of newspapers, editors of dime noyels, producers of d motion pictures and manufacturers of cure-alls and those who write the stirring articles on personalitA ' . The last ictim is the bachelor maid who is pursing an academic course and planning to teach, although our herione is wise in knowledge of books and letters. She will probabh ' make Phi Beta Kappa and, after she leayes college loaded down with scholastic honors, will wake up some morning realizing that she has missed a vital part of her existence. Marriage might be considered b her. Howcyer, if she can ' t find a suitable mate, she might not consider it although she thinks it a ' fine institution. ' Summing up all of mv interyiews. I can ' t help but realize that an - of these people will get no more out of college than the put into it. The ones who earnest- ly endea or to absorb knowledge and ideas which the ' will in turn put to good use, will naturally leaye their mark in college, and wherever they go societ - will benefit b - their lives. FEATURES iq3 MAIL PILOT By Ernest LcDuc He was bedraggled and torn, a two da s ' growth of beard was on his face, but there was something about him that interested me. While he was rather tattered, he was clean in a wa that led me to bcliexe that here was no ordinary tramp. But first I ' d better explain. You sec, I ' m a tcmporar - pilot with the Fleet Air Lines, just ha ing a little rest from m usual duties. I fly the dailv route from Los Angeles to New York, the Sunshine Route, according to the travel literature, but belic e mc, that route can stir up plenty of trouble. Why, I remember when well that ' s an- other stor , but to get back to this one. I noticed this tramp while I was loafing off dutv. I had just reported after mv flight so I had nothing to do. This old fellow had been hanging around the airport for fi e or six days. That doesn ' t happen very often, those hoboes don ' t stav in one place ver ' long. They ask for jobs, but of course we can ' t hire them and the ' soon mo ' e along. That ' s how I noticed this one fellow. Just to pass the time away, I started a conversation with him. He told me his name was Roek Smith and from his talk, he knew quite a bit about planes. Crates, he called them. His talk was full of terms we never use now; Jennys, Liberties, or Flving CofSns. After talking quite a while he told me this story. Well, he started, we ' ll call this fellow Jones. He was a fair looking kid, strong, athletic, with a good job. Then the war started. Not when we started, but when France and England declared war. He suddenly got the urge for adventure and went to France to enlist. Did I say he had a job? He cut lawns to pay for his room and board. An ' way, he joined the French Air Corps, learned to fl - and went to the front. While he was only seventeen he ran up a record of fifteen planes. He was a very good flier. After the war he came back. His job was gone and the only thing he knew was fl ing, so he flew—. He barnstormed with a fl ing circus for awhile. A great life; you eat when there isn ' t anythmg wrong with the plane, which wasn ' t often. They flew Jennys, J.N.4 ' s to you. They were just cracker boxes held together by thread and chew- ing gum. All this sorta ' made him tired of starving, so when he heard of the Air Mail starting in ' 20, he jumped at the chance. It was prett - tough there, but at least they ate. They flew in every kind of weather. Their planes were war issue Liberties or Flying Coflins. They had the intriguing habit of catching fire on the least pretense. They lost a lot of boys that wa . He had the night route from Kansas City to Los Angeles. The last flight this fellow took was one I ' ll always remember. He took off at 8:00 at Kansas Cit -. It was murky weather, but they were used to it. He hit Salt Lake right on the nose. A short stop for a cup of coffee, mail transfer and he was off. At five thousand, fog closed in around him. He kept climbing and soon broke out above the clouds. Clear flying, but not for him. You see they didn ' t 194 T H E A R T I S A N W 40 have radio beams or compasses like you fello ' s do no ' and radio was an un- heard of thing so the only way to follow a course was b - landmarks and a com- pass that sometimes got drunk on the alcohol in it. So— down he went. He came out below the fog at two thousand, the ceiling falling fast. He recognized a water tower about a mile to the left as a landmark and he scooted towards it. T ' hcn following his course he had nothing to do but watch for more landmarks. Fog was closing in but he was used to that. The storm hit with a sudden fury. He felt the plane shake under the force of the wind and snow. In a few seconds he was surrounded by a wall of snow, gray in the night. The force of the snow buffeted the tin ' plane, throwing it across the sk - like a feather. Snow and ice fell on the wings weighting it down. The plane rocked across a stormy sea of wind. In his tin cramped cockpit, he fought the controls, stri ' ing to keep the plane on an c cn keel. The motor labored, tr ing to make headway. He knew he was o er the mountains, so he tried to g rab altitude. Ice forming on the wings made fi}ing difficult. The crate ' s mill roared out its song of defiance to the elements. Up he went, battering his wav through the storm. He hit air pockets and dropped hundreds of feet. The plane was getting loggy due to the weight of the snow. His first intimation of danger was when he noticed a little lick of flame coming out of the hood. It had happened, the plane had caught fire. It was a helpless feeling, watching the flames mount while he sat waiting for his moment to come. In a burst of flame, the entire engine was ablaze. The terrific wind fanned the blaze up to the wings and the inflammable fabrics caught fire. The entire wing was on fire in a few seconds. All this happened as in a slow motion picture. He dove and slipped the plane to try to blow out the fire or keep it awa ' from the valuable mail in front of him. He calmlv made preparations for the crash while he drifted down. No ' chute now, not here when all the mail and equip- ment was with the plane. He shoved the goggles o er the back of his head, away from his eyes, he would have to keep them for protection in the storm. Shatter dash board and pull out compass. Hit it with extinguisher. There, he had it. Thermos of coffee under his suit, flashlight in hand. Tighten the safctv belt, cover head with arms and wait! ' Out of the mist he saw a dark shape loom, pull back on stick and hold tight! ' With a crash he hit the mountainside. He awoke with sharp needles of pain shooting through him. He was cov- ered with snov - and hardly able to move. There was a great pain around his waist and in his arm. He was about ten feet awav from where the plane lav with its nose buried in the ground. He had been thrown from the plane, snapping the safety belt. That explained the pain in his hips, but his arm— he tried to move his fingers but as he found it impossible he knew it was broken. He ' d probabh ' broken it on the cowl. The plane ' s fire had gone out so the mail sacks were safe for the present, but how was he going to bring them back to civilization. Fix that arm first, can ' t roll up sleeve, have to slit it. Wow! that ' s cold and it ' s hurting like ever ' thing! He tried to set it by pulling it. When he thought it FEATURES 195 was set, he tied splints made from struts to the arm. He couldn ' t get the slcc c over the splint so he tied it over the arm as best possible. Me unlocked the mail compartment and pulled out the sacks. It was hard to do with one arm but he managed. There was nothing to do now but to set out in the general direction of uhat he thought was civilization. The east seemed the best bet so he set out. He followed the direction his compass showed to be east. A few steps and he fell in a drift. Drifts were deep, have to watch them. ' On he struggled through the snow, falling e er ' few feet. The snow and wind howled around him .shut- ting him into a cold gray world of his own. Up a mountain he struggled. A muffled roar attracted his attention, an a alanche! He ran for an overhanging rock, packing the mail sacks around him he waited. With a tremendous roar, the snow fell around him, pinning him in. He knew he would suffocate if he didn ' t get out. He started digging furiously. Not getting anywhere with glo ' es on, he took them off and went at it bare handed. His fingers bit into the cold ice, chill- ing them. In a while he was grasping for breath. In a last attempt he shifted around and with a heave shoved against the snow wall that was holding him. His head strained against the roof of his prison. He felt the snow give so he knew it wasn ' t o er deep. He tied his belt to the mail sacks, and then with a vank, he broke through. Pulling the sacks out, he climbed out of liis snow prison, gasp- ing for breath. B - this time, the pain in his arm was awful, but there was nothing he could do. The fingers of his good hand were numb from the cold while his other arm was afire with pain. Continuing his task he crawled up the mountain, falling in the snow, drag- ging the sacks behind him. They were the only thing that kept him alive, he couldn ' t see the progress he was making. He couldn ' t sec more than a few feet in front of him. When he reached the summit, he hardly knew it. Standing on the summit, bucking the wind, he strained for a glimpse of civilization. He knew that this was impossible, but he wasn ' t exactlv sane then. Down the mountain he fell, causing his own avalanche, letting everything go but the precious sacks. In a flurr - of snow he lit against a rock at the bottom of the hill. His broken arm had become numb now, the splints were broken, the bone was probablv out of place again. He struggled to get up. Standing there, swaying in the little protection of a rock, he drained the last of the coffee he had snuggled under his flving suit. On again, after a brief rest, he stumbled on up the mountain. Half way up, he slipped and fell the entire wav down again. After hing there panting for awhile, he started his heartbreaking trudge again. Up to the summit of the peak, then sliding down the other side. He was going directly east, not turning from his journey. Half blind from the frost on his goggles, he never swerved from his trail, straight up and down the mountain he went. Hours or what seemed like nights passed, struggling to climb hills and tumbling down the other side. His arm was a mess now, but he didn ' t feel any- thing. The cut .sleeve of his flving suit had come off so he knew it was frozen. Much better than to have that ever present pain burning inside him that was there when it was protected. 196 T H E A R T I S A NW ' 4o Hours went b , and with the passing of hours, dawn came, and the finish of the storm. He cried as he sat on the top of a peak, still clutching the belt tied to the mail sacks in one hand and the compass in the other. Yes, he cried, the awe in- spiring sight of the countless peaks around him covered with a thick mantle of snow was a beautiful sight. The silence of this place was like a cathedral with the huge spires towering into the sky, pointing towards their Maker in majestic beautv. A sense of peace came over him as he sat there. Wliere are those furies which he had defied last night? Perhaps they were ashamed that they had been beaten and had gone to slumber, preparing for a future battle. Tears ran down his face, promptly froze. He sat for hours on a rock, unable to move, watching the sun give ' er the gun and gain altitude in the sky. As the sun warmed the air he thought it would be all right to sleep now. He let the eyelids that he had fought to keep open close and he knew no more. When he awoke, the sun was high in the sky, a dull gray sky, threatening another storm. A wind had sprung up, fanning him as he stood there. He knew he must continue so downward he travelled. Over trackless wastes of snow he trudged, mail sacks over his shoulder. Snow was in front of him, his sides, and back of him, broken only by the furrows where he had stumbled. The bitter cold bit into him, chilling what warmth had been put there hv the sun. But always that motto danced before his eyes, merci- fully blotting out the snow. The Mail Must Go Through. Those five words beat into his brain. Up the side of the hill, down, his dazed mind took no sensa- tions. The ever present weight of the mail sacks was maddening with the pain, yet reassuring. Hours trudged by him in single file. A wind started as evening drev - near, the clouds hovered ominously near, threatening to drop their bombs of snow flakes. The sky darkened as the sun continued its non-stop flight across the sky. A few snow flakes fell as a preview of what was coming. These things made little impression on his mind as he stumbled on. He was busv concentrating, lift left foot, put it down, lift right foot, put it down, keep them going up and down and he ' d get somewhere. Now he knew what a cvlinder and a con rod felt like when they are running in the mon- otonous life of an engine. His mind was wandering, mustn ' t let that happen. ' Snap out of it, keep walking, only chance. ' The sun fell in a short li id blaze of glory and the shadows crept from their hiding places to become men of the hour. Night, day, what difference did it make to him, keep walking, that was the thing. B now, bodilv weariness had passed, he was not human now, he was a machine controlled by the thought of obtaining a goal and he was going to con- tinue until he broke down or reached that goal. He was past exhaustion, the steadv slogging of his feet pumping up and down in the snow beat into his brain. It wasn ' t just the will to live that carried him on. Never once did he think of stopping and lying down for a peaceful sleep from which he would never wake, never once did he think of throwing away the sacks which weighted him down so much and were so bulky to carry. He just walked, and kept on walking. FEATURES 197 With the coming of the night the storm started anew. The wolf winds howled down the valleys in a shrill call of defiance to him. The gray wall settled around him once more, making him a prisoner. The cold increased with the storm. He didn ' t care, he was past all that, why, he was carrying a sack with his broken arm. Not carrying it exactly, he had it wedged there. Once more the terrible battles of the night before started. Moving in a world of his own, heedless of an thing, he trndged on. He climbed hills, struggled over peaks and tumbled down their sides. He abrupth ' ran into a stone wall. His sense of feel told him it was im- possible to climb it. He felt along the wall until he found a crack. Clutching the bare wind swept rock in his clumsih- mittened hand, dragging the mail be- hind him again, he tried to climb, rocks gave way and down he fell into the snow where he lay dazed. The thought came to him, he couldn ' t stay here, he ' d go to sleep and freeze. Up he got and followed the wall further until he came to an open space. Up he crawled; into his dazed brain came the thought that he hadn ' t hit an thing like this before. The slope v as too steep for snow to stay packed. From rock to rock he edged. Up, ever up. From time to time he slipped, sliding on the bare rock. He was stopped, time and time again, by obstacles, but like a dazed fighter, he got up and kept fighting, climbing, clinging to the narrow space he found. He stopped to rest but as the temptation to sleep was too great, he con- tinued climbing. By nearly falling over the precipice, he realized he had finally reached the peak. Now for the down trip, no falling now or tumbling down the mountain. This was no soft snow-covered pillow to fall into. This was bare rock, sticking out with sharp edges, in iting the person to jump to death. Death— funny, he ' d never even thought of death before. It was just getting back with the mail was all he had been thinking of. What was death? He could find out if he would just lie down now, but no!— Perhaps afterwards, he would deli er his mail first. Sky Postman, that was him. Always get the mail through. A couple of blotters, advertisements, a letter or two, not important individually, but thc were the property of Uncle Sam, so it was his job to get it to the right people. All these thoughts came to him as he stood on the peak of this gigantic crag. Well, now for the downward journey. Careful now, watch that rock, his deadened senses had been brought to life and he was using all of them to pick his way down the mountainside. As time went on, he slowly crawled down the crag and the slope became less. Snow appeared on the slope again. Again he was off, trudging through the snow, blindly, compass was gone, got drunk on alcohol in it, so he had drunk the alcohol and thrown away the thing. His flashlight, he had thrown away long ago so he couldn ' t have seen the needle anyway. On down the slope. He was getting cold, hah— that was funny. He ran through the snow to revive what circulation there was. He fell every few feet as he stepped in deep drifts, but he got up and kept going. 198 T H E A R T I S A N W ' 4o Then out of the darkness a dark shape loomed. His tired senses told him that it was a rock but no!— there was a light. Shining frost on his goggles, he could see a lieht. A cabin, he had come within three feet of it before he had seen it. He stumbled to the door and managed to raise his fist for a feeble knock. The first sound in davs came out of his throat as he gave a hoarse croak for help. Then as he saw the door open, then and only then, did he let go of his burden and let his eyes close as he fell to the ground. The old fellow jerked as he came out of his dream. He was misty eyed as he looked around. He brought the mail through at the cost of an arm and a physically wrecked body. For months he hovered between life and death, sleeping the tender sleep he had so wished for out in that storm. Oh he pulled through all right. Mentally, he was all right. ph sically, he was all gone. Surely no fit person to be a pilot. One can ' t be a pilot with only one arm. Aviation was the one thing he knew, so, heart broken, he disappeared and hasn ' t been heard of since. Well, that happened a few weeks ago. I am back on my regular job as traffic manager for Fleet Air Lines and Rocky Smith has a job with us now. I have a little influence. He polishes all the brass work around the offices and he ' s happy. We ' re paying good wages but he can ' t do much else but polish with a ruined body and only one arm.

DAWSON The lica il - laden passenger stcani-boat cliuggcd its slow way up to Dawson, Canada, in May of 1898 with more passengers than ever before. The Gold Rush was on and hundreds of families were coming to make their fortunes. Among these hundreds were Al Martin, liis wife Louise, and their two chil- dren, Maxine and Jinnnie. According to Al. in the three weeks vou could make enough money to last you comfortably the rest of our life. He dreamed of gi ing Louise all the things she had e cr wanted; a big house, ser ants, beautiful clothes! And the two kids! They could ha ' e all the toys thev could ever play with, a pony cart each, and best schools the United States could afford. It was Destin •! It had to happen. Three weeks after the Martin family had arrived in Dav son thev were estab- lished in a rude cabin some 30 miles west of Dawson. Al had filed a claim and was busy from early morning until late at night digging— digging— digging. At the little creek that trickled its way southward not far from their land, Jimmie and Maxine took pans their Dad pro ided them with and tried to find little specks of the precious dust. The supplies they had brought with them slowl - dwindled awaw Al. who had been a storekeeper before coming to Canada, knew they were being charged out- rageous prices for the food the - bought and the cloth to make clothes warm enough to withstand the winter. Al dug out enough gold the first two months to repair the quickly made little three room cabin and buy some more equipment, enough food to last part of the winter and some cloth for Louise, who was determined to have curtains at the windo s. In September the snow began to sift down from a relentless gray sky. It soon became evident they would be isolated from the outside world for at least six months; ma be more. Maxine began to feel morose because she could not visit the people on the next claim and could not go to Dawson for supplies. At fifteen it is hard to get along with an one besides vour familv. Jimmie, at nine, was preparing to enjoy the long winter. He was not ver.- sociable, and preferred to go out in the surrounding woods bv himself and trap a rabbit or just study the trees, Al, friendly and easy going, seemed not to mind the on-coming da s without the companionship of a lot of neighbors. His chief thought was gold, although it did not overpower his love for his famih ' and their welfare. Louise was sure she would like the winter just alone with her husband and children. The weeks wore on, cold, grey, desolate. Once in a while, when the swirling snow would stop and harden a little on the ground, the Wilks family, who lived on the next claim, not quite a mile away, and other far-flung neighbors would come to visit for a bit. Tliev all cherished those few hours of conversation and good- fellowship. It taught them all to value their friends because they only saw each other once in a while. 2o6 T H E A R T I S A N W 4o Christmas came and went. i8gg was ushered in v itli a heavy snow storm. The creek was sohd ice. Maxine and Jimmie wished tliey had a pair of ice skates, but it was not possible to buy them and they had not brought any with them. The house and wagon Al had brought when they first came to Dawson, were in a shed he had made soon after their arrival at their claim. On a cold day in February, Al got them out and started for the city to buy more supplies. It did not look as if a snowstorm was on its way so Al left in high spirits, saying that he would be back in three or four days. Usually it took only half that long but because of the snow and trails being obliterated, Al was not optimistic. Late that night the snow began to fall, lightly, steadily drifting slowly down from a dark, sullen sky. Louise began to worr, ' about Al, but she tried not to show it. Her tossing about in the wide bed wakened Jimmie who murmured something about being cold and then was deep in slumber again. Louise wished they had more blankets and then fell into a troubled sleep. The next three days were strangely empty ' ithout Al ' s large frame and hearty laugh. The snow fell easily and steadily until the third afternoon when the wind began to blow. It swirled the flakes against the windows and at the cracks in the doors. Maxine complained and said she wished she were back home in Seattle. Jimmie was restless and the hours seemed to drag by on leaden feet. When the fourth day of Al ' s absence dawned, Louise was almost frantic with worr ' . The wind had increased and the snow drove down relentlessly. Stories of people unable to find their way home in snowstorms kept running through her mind. The Wilks family, who had lived in Canada for three generations, had said that often people ga e up and froze in the snow only a few yards away from their homes because the snow blinded them and they could not keep directions straight. In the afternoon the wind reached almost a blizzard force. It sang around the corner of the cabin and tried to push its wa}- through the cracks at the windows. Thev used the dwindling supply of wool as sparingly as they could. Another da - passed reluctanth ' . The next dawn sa - the blizzard die down a little. Late in the afternoon Maxine was standing at the window while Jimmie and Louise were reading. She thought she heard a horse whinny and then she heard the shed door being forced open against the will of the wind. She stared harder and could dimly discern the figure of a man. She whispered in a rather frightened voice, Some one— some one ' s out there, and then as she looked more steadily she shouted, It ' s Daddy! It ' s Daddy! To be sure it was Al, dripping v ' et with thawing snow, he stood in front of the fire, thrilling at the sight of the faces he thought were lost to him forever. For two ' ears more Al kept up the hope that he would make a fortune, but finallv he had to admit that it was no use. Al was not one of the chosen few to become rich. In 1901 he decided that they should return to the States and li e on a street shaded bv trees, and neighbors next door instead of having a woods for a backyard and neighbors a mile or two away. So the Martin family, like so many hundreds of others, boarded a steamer and said farewell to the Land of the Midnight Sun. I Rumor? 2o8 T H E A R T I S A N W 40 MILTON, MY HOME TOWN B - ' clda Gray People just don ' t know where Milton is. And riglith ' so, for it is not impor- tant eommercially or in any way. I ' ve wished for someone from Milton to become a celebrity and make it famous. Milton is in the eastern part of Oregon, on the fringe of the apple growing industry, and twelve miles from Walla Walla, Wash- ington. The street on ' hich I li ' cd for vcars was bordered on one side bv evergreen trees. They roared delightfully in Februan, ' when the chinook came to melt the snow, and were a glorious sight after a silver thaw, each branch sparkling with ice. Snow seldom was deep enough for winter sports, save in the juvenile circles where even an inch was welcome. It made an excellent field for pla ing ox and goose. The cold was ne ' er intense, but it lightened the jo ' of the friendly circle about the fireside. We ' ve had wonderful taffy-pulls on cold evenings, when each had a plate under his own supervision. We ' d pour the steaming taffy on our buttered plates and place them outside in the fresh air to cool. Some days we ' d go up to visit Henry Hopkins, the only man in the country who could read nor write. This did not seem to trouble him. He took three news- papers and hired a woman to read them every day. His ancestor was one of those who signed the Declaration of Independence, and he was very proud of this Uncle Henry, as a young man, and his tales of the early days fascinated us. He still used the old muzzle-loading, double-barreled shot gun he carried across the plains. One day he shot a porcupine about five hundred yards away. He used to tramp up to the old country the first settlers had used. It has been abandoned for years, and for a long time has been in ruins, tombstones top- pled and graves unkept. It was so desolate we enjoyed it. The dismal epitaths on some of the tombstones were especially entertaining. He memorized the best of them to quote later. In the lovely Fall days we ' d organize long horse back rides. We ' d go up on the hills and all around stopping at various relatives ' houses for refreshment. Life in Milton is uneventful but full of pleasure. Everyone knowj every- one, ties of friendship and of blood arc strong. Milton marks its pepole. Having lived there I can never forget it.
