We ]ia ' e had an experience together which it will not be m lot to have again witii anv entering class at Manual. These tlirec cars iiave been a period of growth for me. Thev have brought with them the conflicting elements that are always a part of growth; the pain and distress of new experiences; the thrill of newly acquired perspective and powers; the unfamiliaritv of new surroundings and the deep-seated satisfaction that comes v ' ith acliievemcnt and mastery. These same experiences have been yours during these three ■ears. I ha c watched your development with interest and svmpathv and I have often found encouragement to pla - my part in this tremendous organization from the courage and ability which you ha e shown in making adjustments and meeting your prob- lems. With the coming of graduation there comes that ine itable parting wliicli is essential to the continuation of gro th and development. As graduates ou will leave your Alma Mater to find our place in the great American scene. You will find yourscK ' CS forced to make new adjustments and to meet new problems. It has been our purpose during the three years )0u have been at Manual to give vou experiences as much like those which you are about to face as it was possible for us to arrange. It is m ' sincere hope and the sincere hope of all of our teachers that ou will find these experiences meaningful to you and that you may build safely and successfuUv upon the foundation which has been laid here. Secretly I must confess a hope that you. as the members of the graduating class which came new to Manual Arts High School with me, may find it in your hearts in the future to want a little closer relationship with me than is the experience of the average alumnus.

IIONN, PRINCIPAL OF MANUAL ARI ' S HIGH SCHOOL ' ■ i 12 THE ARTISAN S 41 GIRLS ' VICE PRINCIPALS MESSAGE Stamina is a ord tliat lias conic to us from the Greek. Its early meaning was tlie warp in wca ing. From this, it has come to mean ital essence, or staying power; hence, the capacit - to endure strain. The tough little nation across the waters, which is our spiritual and cultural ancestor, has hecn made great hy the men and women who had faith in the principles of a democratic v ay of life and were williii to stand for them. If we have faith and stamina and unselfish desire to share the alues of our freedom with other nations of the world, who hclie -e as we do, togetiier we can prevail against the forces of destruction and wrong. Jessie Rav Hanna. BOYS ' ' ICE PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE Histon- tells us that the Ohmpies were founded in an attempt to make a more perfeet human race. The best pliysieal and mental male specimens competed in the various types of athletic activity. Man • of these activities required vears of training for the grueling contest which took place at the Ohinpic meets. Ne er in history has the world needed superior mental and physical indi iduals as it needs them today. Our ability to interpret the ears that lie ahead is limited by the mental and physical resources we possess. Wc are living in times when the world would pay a premium price for this type of competent person. I ' odav, industr - is willing to make any sacrifice to make its employee a more efficient and capable worker. It is our hope that you the Olympian class has realized these important facts and that you ha e equipped yourself with these traits that will make you a successful and worthy citizen, willing to accept the responsibilities and benefits offered to you.

As a possible solntion. Plato offered a back to nature plan. Although he was a great Greek Philospher, his ideas and theirs differed. During the ancient civilization, domestic problems were similiar to those of today and the solutions were discussed and debated continuously. When Plato expressed his plan, he was asked why these Utopias never came into being. He answered that, because of greed and luxury men are not content with a simple life, the are acquisitive, ambitious, competiti e, and jealous. They soon tire of what they have and pine for what they ha e not. The result is rivalry; therefore, there can be no Utopia. But if men were simple, and AnarchistComnuuiism would suffice, justice would be simple. Plato ' s imaginative domestic reign would be as follows: The people will produce their own food, clothing, build houses and then work commonly stripped and barefoot in the sunnncr and substantialh clothed and .shod in the winter. Thev will feed on barley and wheat, baking and kneading to make puddings and loaves of bread. This thev will serve on mats of reed or leaves and themselves reclining on beds of yew or myrtle boughs. The and their children shall feast and drink, wear garlands on their heads and have praises to God on their lips. . . Living in sweet society and seeing that their families do not exceed their means. For relish they shall have salt, olives, cheese, onions, cabbage and other herbs fit for boiling. They shall also have dessert of figs, pulse, beans, myrtle-berries and beach-nuts. With such a diet the shall be expected to live in peace to a good old age and bequeath a similiar life to their children.

Power is the supreme virtue; and of all forms of government, the wisest and most natural is Aristocracy. Everv form of government tends to perish by excess of its basic principle. Even Aristocracy ruins itself bv limiting too narrowly its circle of power. Oligarcliy ruins itself by the hasty scrambling for wealth— thus ends in revolution. After re ' olution comes Democracv. The poor overcome their opponents and try to give an equal share of freedom and power to all. But Democracy, like the others, may ruin itself bv excess. Its basic principle is the equal right of all to hold office. This is disastrous when people are not properh- equipped b education to select the best rulers and wisest courses. Therefore, the successors of Democracy are sometimes Tyranny and Autocracy. The crowd so loves flatterv that in the end the most unscrupulous flatterer calling himself the Protector of the people, rises to supreme power. For instance, con- sider the historv of Rome, it followed the same pattern. It was in a vicious circle and entirelv against Plato ' s ideas. It was proved centuries ago that Plato ' s doctrine was one of the most perfect ever written. Athens had a true Aristocracy of no mean political sagacity. The people of Greece were ruled with little resort to force and learned to ha e a voice in the government. As a result, practice in the democratic form of government had opportunit to tr out its strength and weaknesses.

With the entry of our elass came also the entrance of our Principal, Floyd R. llonn, who was soon destined to become renowned among men, e en as in the days of old. After some days of rushing hither and ()n, learning every part of the campus, we were eager to make the most of our time at Manual. A momentous occasion for all of us. was the opening of the new cafeteria. It was equipped with c cry modern device and filled with excellent food. All good things must come to an end, and one darkened day, an illustrious man, in the person of Coach fames J. Blewctt, who had been the maker of many a champion in the field of football, left Manual to take up the position of backfield coach at U. C. L. A. Ne ' er in the last decade of Manual ' s history, has any All class managed to es- cape the dread English Exam! Our class was no exception. Nerve-wracking was tiie sharpening of the intellectual power— this was the time when every napping student awoke to the realization of opening and digesting a olnme or two of English usage. The difficulties were passed remarkably well by most of us, but woebegone were the faces of the unsuccessful. With the passing of this trial, we forged ahead to a brighter year of glory. After careful deliberation, the cabinet of our Senior Bee Class was elected: President, Kenny Wilcox; boys ' vice president, Julian Wolfe; girls ' vice president, Elizabeth Franklin; seeretarv, Connie Turnage; treasurer, Shiku Sameshima. The first order of business was our class name. The final selection was Olympians. As to the color scheme, light blue and white outclassed the rest. They came to signify our sweater colors. True to our name, the symbolical figure of the discus thrower, was captured and placed on the emblem. Senior Day dawned clear and sunny for it was the day the Olympians were to make their victorious debut into the new scholastic world. And it was the making of the Olvmpian reputation for the winnings were unanimously in our favor. The credit for this victory was due to our great athletic Grecians, namely: Paul Henry, Kennv Jones, Dick Cooper, Jimmy ' hite, David Dow, and others. Climaxing this eventful day, was the party for both Senior Classes. The tradi- tional singing b the president of the losing class was done bv Pete Hvun. Yells were given by the respective classes, and altogether, this occasion was a very delight- ful affair. One of the highlights in our Senior Bee term was the prom with Kennv Wil- cox and Elizabeth Franklin as host and hostess. The theme was Ohnipic Games. Each dance was named after one of the games of ancient Greece. As favors, S ' 41 pins were given out, which, in the course of our li es will bring back memories of our carefree high school days. The coveted waltz contest was won bv Louella Scott and Carl McClendon. On October 23, the long awaited Senior Bee Picnic was held at Centinela Park. The cabinet of the Senior Aye Class was invited to share in our doings. Con- 92 THEARTISANS ' 41 tests and games were pulled off with vim and then came the food— hot dogs, cakes, and ice cream. Coming into the final stretch of our reign at Manual, we again had the task of electing officers, this time as the Senior Aye Class. Headed by the Chief Magis- trate of the Ecclesia, Roger White, the following. Julian Wolfe. Connie Turnage. Kay Ward, and Shiku Sameshima were chosen to serve their respective offices in the capacity of boys ' vice president, giris ' vice president, secretary, and treasurer. Prior to this, the Student Body election was held and the following names came into prominence: Dick Cooper, president; Bob Hall, boys ' vice president; Elizabeth Franklin, girls ' vice president; Virginia Schmidt, secretary. In the field of scholastic honor, we find C.S.F. honor students ready to use their brain power to the fullest, to gain perfection in all they do. Looking in on the offices, we find secretaries to Mr. Honn and Miss Hanna, Doris Lundine, Doroth ' Moore. Marilyn Hallnian. Renee ' Nadeau, all champions in the commercial field. Just as we find ourselves leaving, our old friend Coach Blewett returns to Man- ual. We are happv to have him with us again and welcome him back to his old Alma Mater. On our last senior dav, we marched out in gallant array to watch the blue and white of our class to go on to a second victory, but to our amazement, the victory was lassoed and captured by the South American Cowboys. In true Olympian spirit, we bowed before the incoming Senior Bees and gladly received the new class of Vaqueros. As we near the close of our reign, we say Three cheers and orchids to Mr. Dixon — he played a great part on our road to victory— a real friend and sponsor! At the Exposition pool and playground was held the Senior Aye picnic. Here the bodies beautiful were seen bobbing up and down in the mist of blue. After this cooling affair, the call of come and get it was well received. The last get-together, the finale, our Senior Prom— witnessed with joy and sad- ness, a part of all farewells. The final davs were filled with last minute business, and then almost without warning, the strains of Aida were echoing through our minds and the excitement of commencement had left sadness in our hearts— to cherish forever with memories. We carr ' these unforgettable impressions from Manual as we make our exit from famous doors to find a new place outside. Culture and civilization, that was truly a part of the Greece of old. Today in _ the battle against destruction, Greece has risen to a new high place because of her H strength and courage. With these old Olympian inspirations, we the new Olympians, go forth bearing their spirit to challenge the wodd for the rights of Democracy! SENIORS 9B BABY SNAPS 94 THE ARTISAN S ' 41 DEMOCRACY OR ARISTOCRACY? By Maxine Farran The political problems of ancient Creece parallel our political difficulties of today. They too, were a democratic people struggling for complete freedom, and because Plato was filled with such scorn for the democratic regime and hatred of the mob, he was continually searching for a method by which he could devise a plan, barring incompetence and knavery from public office and of selecting and preparing the best to rule for the common good. As he thought, he became more astounded at the folly of ha ing the mob ' s caprice and gullibility select the political officials. Not to speak of the shady strategists who pulled the oligarchic wires be- hind the democratic stage. His problem was to find a solution which would remedy tliese problems. He began with the definition of democracy which was, perfect equalit) of op- portunity in all fields. Every man shall have a chance to make himself fit for com- plex tasks, but only those who have pro ed their worth, ma be eligible to rule. The public officials shall not be chosen by votes but by their own ability. No person may hold an office without first filling a lower one efficiently. Is this Aris- tocracy? Yes! But it shal be called a democracv of the schools, and be a hundred times more honest than a democracy of the polls. The rule of intelligentsia, guardians as thev shall be called, will be flexible, unbound by precedent, and thev shall be the legislative, executive and judicial body. But how can men of fiftv be flexible, you ask. Plato answers that, Philosophy means an active culture and wisdom that mixes with the concrete business of life as it changes. Although mentally armed, this Utopia is open to invasion from many angles. Therefore, it is necessary for a number of well trained soldiers, as constant protec- tion and precaution to avoid war. So, this political structure being topped by a small class of guardians, protected by a large class of soldiers, and resting on the broad base of an agricul- tural, industrial and commercial peoples— you have an efficient and harmonious whole, or just, state. I 96 THE z R T I S A N S ' 4 1 SENIOR FORUM Democracy- is demanding more and more discussions of tlie ital issues con- fronting our countr -, and necessitating knowledge of the use of parliamentary procedure which is the basis of our democracy. The Senior Forum presents these opportunities to the upper-grade students and creates an interest in public speaking and debate. The Senior Forum has just completed one of its most successful terms of forensic acti it . Fier - discussions re-echoed in Wilson Hall when topics such as: Should We Go to War? Should We Outlaw Strikes? War with Japan Boy Dates Girl, Should Gids IIa e Four Years of Academics or Four Years of Home Economics? and Should ' ' e Ha c a More Centralized Go ernment? In addition to these timely topics events were held such as: the semi-annual declamation con- test; the gag and grouch session, an cxtcni]5orancous contest between the Junior and Senior Forum, won b Da id ' ilson, a Senior Forum member; and a debate, Re- solved: U.S. Should Adopt the Swiss Plan of Military Preparedness. The term began with one of the largest tr -outs e er held. An extemporaneous speech was the reciuircmcnt for e er student who tried out. Continuing with good attendance the Senior Forum was honored b the presence of such notable persons as Mrs. Murph -, Doctor Bailey, student teachers, and others. Topping the e ents of the term was a picnic and a semi-annual banquet. The officers of the club were: President, Rita Downey; girls ' vice-president, Bett - Brown; boys ' vice-president, Ernest Miney; secretary, Ethel Mac Irish; treas- urer, Margaret Palmer; sergeant at arms, Jim Runchcy. CLUBS 97 JUNIOR FORUM Discussion as a solution to problems. This has been tiic kc note of the Junior Forum ' s aetivities this ear. The club was organized to aid the lower grade students in understanding and discussing current affairs and in making them better speakers. The discussions this year included such questions as: food to France, convoy- ing war supplies, and war against Germany. The members of the club also par- ticipated in several oratorical contests as well as in the semi-annual Declamation Contest. Rcvi ing an old custom, the Junior Forum debated the Senior Forum on the proposition— Resohed:: That the United States should adopt the Swiss plan of niilitaPi preparedness. Se eral meetings were set aside for a picnic and other social events. All in all the club has enjoyed a ver}- profitable and cn]o able semester. Un- doubtedly this is due to the excellent advisorship of the club ' s sponsor. Miss Anne Johnson, and to the cabinet, composed of Ed Cohen, president; Dixie Lou X ' ail. gids ' ice president; Milton Klein, boys ' vice president; Lois Speck, recording secretary; Frances Cer o, treasurer; Mary Germer, roll secretary; and Anna May McGarvey, parliamentarian. 98 THE ARTISAN S ' 41 MANUAL ARI ' S COMMUNITY COLLEGE Comiminit ' College at Manual Arts was organized some semesters ago and put under the general super ' ision of Mr. Hess. The ork taken here is similar to post graduate studw and is without eompulsion. Its purpose is to present the op])or- tunity to people to brush up on long forgotten subjeets. Also it is for additional training in courses previously left incomplete. The persons who enroll are free to take au course a ailable to regular students, riierefore, they attend the same classes and similar work. Upon completion of the course, many plan to go to college. uni ersitv or to find an opening in a field for which they have been preparing. Many of the persons in this college include former students of other city high schools, colleges and universities. This semester there were seventeen women and twent}-five men enrolled. Out of these, there were three persons from out-of-state colleges. Those represented were Louisiana, Indiana and Nebraska. Besides this college at Manual Arts, there are numerous others at the high schools throughout the city.

You didn ' t? Well, let me tell ou a little about my colleague and myself. Herodotus was born in a small Asia Minor city but did not live there long. As he grew older, he de eloped a wanderlust and was soon traveling throughout Asia Minor and Southern Europe. E -crywhere he went, he would gather up legends, myths, stories, songs, histories and the like, from natives of the villages and cities. It was from this information that he compiled his famous IIistor - of the War Between Greece and Persia. He was fond of picturing the world of his time in simple interesting terms. His main interests lav in finding out the different causes of war and in gathering the history of the world from mvthical times, up to the time of the war itself. Although he was considered an exceptionallv good historian, he liked to exaggerate his tales. This is especially true in the case of the famous battle of Thermopylae where Herodotus estimated the land forces of the Athenians as one million, seven hundred thousand. Later historians have proved this to be a gross exaggeration. In spite of the character of nations and individuals, and also of the minds and nature of mankind in the countries he visited, Herodotus ' history is very non-critical. His style is simple because his history was meant to be read aloud like the poems of Homer. On the other hand, I tried to make a permanent record and a source of political learning for specialists in the line. That is wh - hnnien often find mv work dull and uninteresting. I gained m knowledge of nulitary tactics while scr ing as a commander of a fleet in the Aegean Sea. I tried to set down the events leading to it, in a st ' le that would be helpful to later readers. I was not verv interested in the ci ilization or impro ' ements of the people, but only in the strategies and campaigns of their armies. Some of mv writings concerning battle formations are used as basic maneuvers bv modern arm - officers. One of m aims was to make accurate notations as to facts and data. I ha c also compiled some of the great speeches gi cn by ])romincnt Greek men. So ou see, fellow Olympians, m owe a great deal to the Greeks for their literature, science, art and go ernmcnt by which they enriched your lives. 1 108 THEARTISANS ' 41 ESCAPE TO FREEDOM B - Rav Newman The following stor ' is based on actual experiences of a close friend. It is to the many people who, like my friend, have suffered at the hands of the totali- tarian countries that I dedicate this story. The person in the story, telling of his ex- periences, represents one of the many grateful persons who have new life and happiness in our country. 1 v as just nineteen when the rcNolution came in Russia. I was the son of a wealthy mill owner. The lower class had gained the power to revolt and so they did. A revolution of poverty against wealth. I wasn ' t able to walk in the streets in safety unless I was dressed as one of the poor. Even then I was in fear of being discovered because I didn ' t look like a common worker. I had no reason to fear the men who worked for m father in the mills. They loved my father and me because we treated the workers like people should be treated. Thev got better wages than most mill workers and didn ' t work too hard. When sick, the - and their families were cared for. Wlien the were cured, they had their job again. E er one worked in perfect harmon . But this wasn ' t true for all the workers of Russia. After the revolution, m father ' s wealth and his mill were taken o er bv the new Russia, just as all property and money of the wealthy are taken over. B ut the taking of wealth was not all that was done. Many lives including my father ' s were taken. Men who once were wealthy, were forced to do hard labor, to beg for food, or to steal. The privacy that was enjoyed before the revolution by rich and poor alike, was now taken awa ' . Marriages were made and broken bv the simple action of signing our name to a register or crossing it out. Even the privacy of the public rest room was no more. It was after the re olution that I decided to go to America. But deciding to go was easier than actually going. I wrote to an uncle of mine in London and asked him to send me the money so that I could fulfill my desire. After the letter was on its wa - I had a feeling inside of freedom from my surroundings. But that good feel- ing didn ' t last long. New Russia had to have a large army and in order to get men to ser e, they had to pick them off the street and keep them in prison until thev were mo ecl to the barracks. I was one of the men forced into the army. Wliile in prison waiting to be transferred to the barracks, I got to thinking about the country I would ha e to ser ' e. A countr - once loved enough b - nic, to give my life for, but now a country from which I wanted to escape. I figured out a way of escaping. I wrote once more to m uncle giving him full instructions about sending mone to me. He was to send a trusted man into the pri- son to isit me and he would gi e me the nione ' mv uncle was to send. Two weeks later the trusted man came to see me. This man ga e me the mone in a money belt and told me where I would meet him after I was out of prison. ' I STORY AND VERSE 109 Getting out of prison was easy now that I had the money. The soldiers of Russia were hard pressed for mone - and it uas easy to bribe my way through the gates. But out of prison was not out of Russia. I followed the instructions given me by mv trusted man and met him at our appointed spot. When i saw him, I embraced him almost crying with joy for tliis was the man who would take me out of Russia. Me soon quieted mc down telling me the dan- ger that now faced me. I couldn ' t lea ' e as a normal citizen because I was a fugitive from the arm of Russia, the country 1 hated. I would ha c to smuggle myself out of the countr . Once out of Russia I could use my passport that I used before the resolution. But first I must get out of Russia. M - trusted man and I discussed all possible ways of escape. Finally we decided to escape through the north forest into Finland and from there to Norway where I would meet niv uncle and get a boat to England and then to New York, in the beautiful United States. Our plan of escape was perfect, except for the chance that wc nught run into the Russian border patrol, but we took the chance. I would know that I was out of Russia when I crossed a small river running north and south through the north forest of Russia and Finland. It was snowing when we started out into the forest at sunset. We would travel at night and be at the river in the morning. Ever thing was going fine through the forest until we came to the river. It was just getting light when we noticed the border patrol. Five big Russians in fur coats and hats with big boots on their feet. Each carried a rifle over his shoulder. We stopped and hid waiting to see what they were doing. It looked like they were fixing a fire to make breakfast. We couldn ' t take the chance of being caught on Russian soil so we decided to mo ' e a little wav down the river and then cross. Wc were about a hundred yards south of the patrol when m trusted man said wc should run for the ri er. Never before did I feel the fear I felt then. I said all right, finally, and wc started running for our life. When we hit the water I heard two shots ring out. We swam under water as far as we could, realizing that the patrol saw us. When I came to the surface a hail of bullets hit the water at my side. I ducked and continued sv inuning under water as long as I could, coming up for air only when I couldn ' t hold out any longer. Finallv I reached the other side and was barely able to drag myself up on the bank. I la ' there panting for what seemed like a ear. After resting for awhile, I got up to look for my trusted man. I .saw him lying on the bank a few feet away resting. When I came over to see him he got up and just smiled a little without saving a word and turned into the forest towards the small illage of Abo, Finland. When we reached the illage, we bought some clothes and stopped at an inn to get cleaned up. In that little village I said goodby to my trusted friend and contin- ued on to Norwa - where I met my uncle. We left Norv ay on a lumber boat for Plymouth, England and then got the boat for New York and freedom. 110 THE ARTISAN S ' 41 OUT OF THE DARKNESS By ' irginia Boiirke I was born and brought up by my aunt and uncle on Clo ' er Island, Florida. When I was fi e, my parents, returning from the mainland, were killed in a ship- wreck. During all of my sixteen years on the island I had become so much a part of it that I never dreamed of anything taking me away. Clover is not a very large island, and only five families live there, but it is my home and is wonderful to me. All of my friends called me Maury, except my Aunt, who persists in calling me b ' my given name, Maureen. I am tall and slender, with a mop of cr - black hair, and blue eyes that match the island ' s summer skies. I might also add that I am a tomboy in its true form. I can ' t ever remember wanting to wear dresses. My aunt often told me that she wished I were as feminine now as I was during mv ' erv early days when I had nothing to .say about how I was to dress. I did b no means hold this against her, as she is the finest aunt a girl could ever have. In fact, she seems more like a mother to me. After an unforgetable day that occurred tv o weeks after ni sixteenth birthday, I learned that there was a great difference between an aunt and a mother. I am sure that it never would have been my own mother ' s desire to send me a a from the island to attend school on the mainland. My aunt had taught me all that I should ever need. After many tearful pleas, however, I found that it was useless to try to make her understand. The worst of it all was that m uncle was in favor of my going. The summer weeks seemed to pass quickly. Each day was planned and filled to the brim with my fa orite pastimes, and each day seemed more wonderful than the one preceding. My last night on the island was the most beautiful one I had ever seen. I .sat by my window in my room, and through tear filled eves, I looked out at the moonlight on the gentle moving surf. As I sat there, I lifted mv eves to the evening sky and prayed that I would never see my island home anv differently from the way I saw it this night. After I had been attending school for only a short time, I knew that the island was the only place for me. I resolved to return as soon as I had finished my education. Four years of adjusting myself to new social contacts and proper educational training had changed me in many respects. The most noticeable change was that I had become a lady!— a lady engaged to be married a week after graduation. All of the plans I had made four years before were lost in the strange but won- derful confusion of m new environment. During the months that followed, I received occasional letters from my aunt and uncle and a few of my friends, each renewing the dear memories of the island. I shall ne er forget the letter from my uncle that arri ed about six months after I had been married. He had sold our island home! You can imagine what a shock it was to me. He is a very pleasant old gentleman, my uncle had written. He and his wife are to take over our old home the first of next month. He wrote that the gentleman had bought the home with only his wife in mind. She had been ill for a long period of time, and her doctor prescribed rest and quiet as her only cure. I SlURV AND N ' ERSE 111 ENCiytliiiig on the ishmd will be the same, added ni ' uncle, and there is no need to worry. Of course, you will al a s be more than welcome to come back and i.sit your old friends. As for vour aunt and mvself, we are returning to our former home in England. ' Die letter was a rather formal one, which left me feeling deeply hurt. I ' iiey had always disapproxed of my marriage, and 1 suppose they could not hide tlie slight bitterness that the - had for me. It was some time before 1 could actually belic e he had sold the island home, which had been left to him in m - father ' s will. I often wished that it had been left to me. I spoke to my huslxmd frequently about visiting Clover Island. Because of his work, however, he could seldom leave the city. One lo elv autumn afternoon, returning from a picnic in the country, we were riding along talking of the wonderful day we had spent away from the crowded city. Suddenly the carriage lurched, and before we realized what had happened, the horses were running away from us. Something has frightened them, my husband yelled. He frantically tried to stop them, but with no success. I was very frightened, and grew more hysterical each time the carriage swavcd and jerked, throwing us like rag dolls against its sides. I had no sooner buried my head in the cushioned seat when there came a terrible crash, which left me senseless. When I awoke later in a hospital, it seemed as though every bone in mv body was broken. My head was the worst of all. It appeared to be a very tangle of band- ages. It pained so, especially mv eyes, that I could hardlv recall what had happened. I immediately asked concerning my husband, who was quite scrioush injured. After I had been in the hospital two weeks, he passed awa . Somehow I ish I had never awakened that day in the hospital. Almost two months had passed, and I had greatly improved in health and felt ready to depart at once. I requested the doctor to rcmo c the bandages which had been on m - eves since the accident. It was then that I received the shock that changed m whole ex- istence, lie informed me that I was practicalh blind, and while the condition of mv sight might improve in time, he could make no promises. . fter six months had passed and all that could be done to help had been done, I was still unable to see. There was not really anything to live for except the memo- ries of my past life that were so dear to me. I went on living, however, trying with e erything that was in me to adjust myself to the new life of darkness. As time went on I became aware that my hearing was failing. Later I learnc:! that this too was due tf) the shock I received in the accident. A few letters now and then arrixed from nn old friends whom I often thought of, and planned seriously of returning to Clover Island. I knew, however, that it would break my heart to return and not be able to enjo - its beaut - or do the things I had done in the past. Of course my friends knew that it was the only place where I really belonged. Another year of this routine passed. B ' this time, I h id practicalh- lost m self- consciousness and pessimistic outlook. Soon I began to reali .e the man - advantages I had over normal people. My hearing was quite poor, but it had not become an worse for some time. Of course I could carry on con ersations and go many places with my friends, who were constantly making my life a happier one. 112 THEARTISANS ' 4J Finalh , the following summer, deciding to return to the island. I wrote to my friends there telling them the news. The in turn answered and were overjo ' ed to hear that I was coming back. Unknown to Maury, the ' had not had the heart to tell her in their letters, that Clover Island had completely changed. The beautiful surf, which in years gone by could be seen from the island homes farther inland, was now blotted out by a large and noisv fishing village. The island had actually lost its real beautw The - hoped that she would ne ' er find it out. One warm day in the latter part of the month of June. I arrived home. For the first time since my accident. I really felt contented and at ease. The next day I made a tour of the island with my friends. They were careful where thev took me, afraid that I would disco er the change. After two wonderful weeks had passed, I sensed that something about the island was different. I thought it was just my imagination at first, but one day I learned what had happened. It hurt me dccph ' to think that someone would want to destro the beaut ' of the island. My island, for I loved it more than anyone else had, or ever would. That night as I sat by the window in my room in the old island home, which had long been deserted by the old couple who had sold it back to me for practicalh- nothing, I thought of that last night I spent on the island before I left school. I remembered how beautiful it had been with the moonlight on the gentlv mo ing surf. I could still see the scene so cleariy in my mind. ' ith tcar-filled eves. I thought of the prayer that I had said that night. Strangely enough, it had been answered. I never did see my island any diffcrcnth- from the wa it was that night.

STORY AND E R S E 115 THE LAND OF GOLDEN GRAIN By Allan Lcroy Godfrey A man nc cr wanders so far afield that lie docs not still retain in liis heart a soft and tender spot for the land of his nativitw My ancestors arc of a long line of rugged pioneers. Grandfather sailed from New York aboard a sailing vessel in 1849, ans ering tlie call of the gold lure in California, lie rounded Cape Horn and in due time arri ed with hundreds of others to seek his fortune, panning for nuggets in the mountain streams of California. Later lie returned to the east but not for long. The vast new country west of the Mississippi had strong attractions for liim and in the sixties he took his family and mo cd west. In tlie late sixties and earl - seventies wlien the ponv express began ojierating between Fort Kcarne ' and a trading post on tiic banks of Cherry Creek in Colorado, the now important cit of Den er, found him in cliargc of one of the stage randies wliere the stage liorses were replaced at certain inter als in order to mo ' e tlie United States mail through in record time. Years passed by, and the Indians were relegated to their different reservations. The cattle barons, with their ast ranges on which thousands of cattle grazed, faded from the picture. The wild west became only a memory. At Weldon, Colorado, on the banks of the Platte ri er, which he loved so well, stands a marble slab on which is written, iiolon Godfrey, pioneer and INDIAN FIGHTER. In the early part of the present centur -, the western part of Canada began to be settled up. The pioneer blood of m famih accepted the challenge and moved to Saskatchewan. Having sprung from such stock, it is only fitting that I should have been born there, in the last great west. When Canada is mentioned, it generally awakens in the mind of most people a picture of cold, bleak, barren lands on the frozen shores of Hudson IH THE ARTISAN S ' 4 1 Bay. Such is not the case. There is another land in tlic Canadian west, a land adjacent to the Rocky Mountains— a land of smiling park land, of lakes and streams warmed occasionally by the Chinook winds that find their way through the passes of the continental divide, a land whose soil is as rich as any on the con- tinent—a land that has and is keeping the granaries of Britain filled to capacity. Such is the land of my birth. Mv memory recalls only a few cases where oxen were used to till the land. Horse power was at its zenith during my childhood days. I can still see big four, six, and eight horse teams coming in at noon and night covered with dust and sweat ha ing done a hard dav ' s work turning over that virgin sod which today, through its production, may be very instrumental in saving world Democracy. The homesteaders consisted of many different races of people; English, Scotch, Russian, German, P ' rench, Scandinavian, and American. The mingling of these bloods are today producing another race, at least equal to any of their an- cestors. Perhaps in no place in the world has there been more time and encrg spent in breeding new strains and varieties of grain. The results have been astounding. Through the perfection of carh- maturing aricties, the frost line has been extended miles north, the ravages of rust have been almost entirely eradicated. Even grass-hop- per damage has been greatly reduced. The advent of the rubber tired gas tractor and combination seeder and thresher was a great boon to this countr} . Equipped as thc are with strong lights, they run continuously permitting the handling of large tracts of land in a minimum amount of time which is a cr ' important factor in a place where the growing season is short. From the time the first tin green spears of grain come through the ground its progress is observed and with each succeding week the anxious anticipation of a har ' est rises. The hot davs of Julv and August force the crops to maturity. The color changes from a bright green to a golden ellow ' . The harvest is at hand. All the effort is rewarded — the anticipations, the desires of a full car arc about to be real- ized. Activity is to be seen on every side. Long strings of box cars ha c been placed on sidings to receive the millions of bushels of wheat that are about to begin pouring into tho usands of elevators throughout the countrv ' . In e er field, tractors pulling combines move up and down the fields. Long lines of trucks and tanks plv back and forth carrying the grain. Hour after hour, day after da , the elevators continuously fill the railroad cars and start them on their wav to the Great Lakes and ports of the world. The days become shorter; the nights colder. It is a race with the elements. From the far north the chill winds come down, A tang is in the air. The harvest has been completed. Steel grey clouds scud across the sky. Snow begins to fall, and as it spreads a soft white blanket across the land, we resign ourselves to another win- ter in the Canadian west; content until the geese and ducks return again from the southern climes when all our hopes and ambitions are once more renewed with re- viving of spring. STORY AND VERSE US KNIGHTS OF THE ROAD B Pat Donnelly I ' m one of those gius ou hear so iiuicli al)out who figures that the world ' s against him. I ne cr had a chance to think anything else because I left home and started to tramp when I was fifteen. ' I ' he world ' s been against niv kind from the start. At first I was afraid of it. but now I ' m not. I ' m not afraid of the world because I hate it. 1 hate its people, their silh ' talk, their constant rush. I hate their emotions, their happiness and freedom. I hate all this because I ne er had it. The onlv emo- tion I possess is fear. My ambition is to get enough to eat and a place to sleep. Hap- piness! A man like me isn ' t supposed to be happ or be free. I was born to be what 1 am toda ' . a tramp, one of the millions who walk the roads, hop freights and are always on the go. They call my kind, knights of the road. Knights, we ' re not knights, we ha e no courage or we ' d fight the world instead of letting it lick us. A hobo doesn ' t li e. He ' s just on earth to await death, with nothing in between to plan for or look forward to. A liobo just roams the country and looks for the comfort that can never be his. He ' s supposed to be free, but isn ' t. He can ' t take any- thing the world offers except the sun; it ' s free, the stars, the wind and the rain. He can ' t take that opportunity that ' s around the corner, because he can ' t go near the corner. ' I ' he world won ' t let him. The wodd sa s stav out on the road awav from us, li ' e b - the da -, grab a job here and a little food there but don ' t bother us— we have securit and happiness. No, a hobo isn ' t free, he ' s a slave. He tries to find happiness but the world won ' t give him a chance. Take for instance that little town we just left, it had happiness. I tried to crash in on a bit but failed. It was a quiet town with small farm houses, bordered with vegetable gardens, with a few chickens and what ha e you. I staved there for a while picking fruit during the season, and I felt as if I owned something, I did, the shirt on m - back, the food I ate, the paper I read. m freedom, they were all mine, I paid for them. But I knew it couldn ' t last because 1 was a tramp. In that little town back there I knew a girl, really the first girl 1 e er wanted to know. Her name was Mary, she looked like her name would be Mary. She was sweet, small and happy. Mary gave me something to live for, to work for. She never reminded me that I was from a different class. She gave me courage to push on, she made me feel like a knight. I wanted Mary, because she could give me that happiness and security that I de- served, but I couldn ' t keep her, I was a tramp. The ' told me so, the grocery man, the druggist, the handy man around Smith ' s farm, not with words but with their eves. They said, Get out of our little town, brother, you don ' t belong here, go back to your road, your roaming hills, ou have no right to be happ ' , you weren ' t born to live our life, Mary deserves something much better. So I left. I walked out through a gate that I once thought was opened me. I left a world of peace, of self respect. I had to leave that world because I wasn ' t born to carry a shiny sword, m armor was a knap sack, it marked my life so I couldn ' t live in a peaceful little town, I couldn ' t have someone like Mary to say howdy neighbor to the friend next door. I couldn ' t make my living by plowing the field, running a small store. I wasn ' t sui - po.sed to live in that world. I left that little town at night and as I looked back at it asleep and safe I laughed at the welcome sign, threw my sack over my shoulder and made my way up the road, a knight without armor. 116 TH E ARTISAN S ' 4 1 THE CRUISE OF THE SHARK BAIT Bv Dave Harlow Perhaps one of the most hectic nights that I have ever spent anywhere was in the main channel at San Pedro in an 1 1 foot glorified row boat. It all started on one bright Sunday afternoon. A friend and I pushed off for what should ha e been a short cruise to the Cabrillo beach breakwater and back. Blissfully ignorant of the calamities that were to befall us. we set sail from West Basin with onlv these stores ; 2 thin shirts, 2 pair of swimming trunks, a towel and as a last happ afterthought we brought along a set of oars. Merrily we sailed down the main channel, blitheh ' interrupting the courses of tugs, tankers, ferries and other various and assorted craft. I was the proud captain of an 11 foot cat boat, hicidentalh among its other numerous perverse traits was a definite rcluctancv to beat to windward (more of this later), not a few choice bits fell upon these delicate ears liurlcd there bv irate skippers who seemed anncned by the mere presence of m aliant craft. After much maneuseriug, mostK defensive tactics, we found ourselves in the outer harlior where witii nuich ado we put about and steered a persistent if slighth erratic course toward our goal, the lighthouse on the end of the breakwater. We were destined to never reach our mark. Two-thirds of the way there the waning wind finally fizzled out. After an hour or so of waiting it seemed obvious e en to us that the wind had died a very complete death. It was now growing dark and our predicament began to assume its serious aspect. Putting the oars in the oar locks I struck out for some food and a warm bed. The first fore-runner of the trouble that was to follow was the janmiing of the sail tracks at the top of the mast. The tide which liad been carrving us along became very noticeable when we tried rowing against it. For every eight feet rowed forward it carried us back seven of them. 10:30 that night still saw us m the center of the channel, vours truly still rowing for dear life. A breeze now sprang up (blowing the wrong way of course), and the boom began to swing pkufullv across the boat stopping onh ' long enough to bounce us alongside of our heads. To add to our troubles we disco ered that we had sprung a leak and were rapidly sinking beneath the waves. Just as the water began to flow frcclv o er the sides of the boat (most of the ocean was usuallv on the inside of the boat anyway ) tlie powers that be sent a tin can against the side of our potential submarine, and we shoveled water out and dipped our shirts in the water and wrung them overside. Finallv we v on and our submarine once again became a surface craft. 12;00 that night saw us in the center of the channel, I rowing with one hand, bailing with the other, m - companion struggling to lower the sail to keep us from being brained. Both of us were now exhausted; both too wearv to pull on the oars. We were now in danger of losing all the ground gained during the weary night. It was impossible to land against the pilings of the ship docks. Our only alternative was to reverse our course and land far down the beach. Suddenly, from across the water the search light of a passing vacht lighted the much hauled on sail of the Shark Bait and a cheery voice hailed, Hi there! ' ant a tow? Did we?

The Jew I speak of. is the Jew of Europe, Asia, the Orient, and other foreign countries. In the United States the many Jews li ing here ha e adopted tins eountr ' as theirs. I doubt ery much if many of them would want to leave. The reasons are plain, simple ones, but they are, ne ertheless, important. Because the Jew of other parts of the world has been the minority, persecuted, living in ghettos and being pushed around, he has felt the urge to find a new place to settle. In the e es of the Jew. Palestine is that new place. Because of work done for the British people by Dr. Chaim Weiznian during the World War, Lord Balfour, on the second of November, 1917, published a declaration granting the Jews a National Home in Palestine. After this declaration, the Zionist nio ement. which had been working before the declaration, went into action. With such leaders as Theodore Herzl, Dr. Chaim Arlosoroff. and Dr. Chaim Weizman. tiie Zionist organization spread over the entire world. Organizations were established to collect contributions for the fur- therance of the Zionist Movement. Jews began immigrating into Palestine from all parts of the world. Organizations were established in Palestine under the supervision of Britain. These organizations, which are under the British supervision, arc to the Jew. their government. III. Palestine Toda ' Immigration to Palestine, means life to thousands of helpless Jews in Europe. Of the 90,000 Jews who have entered Palestine since 1956, about half joined the Ilistadruth. The Ilistadruth is a great cooperative labor group having many di- isions. Although more immigrants mean temporarv hardships and ineoiu ' cniences, sharing the work and living quarters, the pioneers of Palestine demand greater immi- gration. ' Bring more Jews, is the prayer of those who are luck enough to be there now. Tlie Histadruth cooperative housing organization, has built more than $7,000,000 worth of dwellings for workers. Some are large units as in Tel Aviv and others are small family bungalows in suburbs. 12,000 persons live in houses built bv Histadruth, and 1,000 more buildings are planned for the immediate future. Hospitals, clinics, theaters, and other modern buildings, liave been built througii this cooperati e organization. 118 THEARTISANS ' 41 Self-defense has always been a grave necessity for the Jew in many countries where anti-Semitism has appeared in iolent forms. In Palestine, for the first time in 2,000 years, Jews stand up to defend themsehes, like free men. First there was a Hashomar, the now almost legendary group of guards, ho before the first World War, protected Jewish life and property from the marauding Arabs. During the War there came the Jewish Legion lead by Joseph ' I ' rumpeklor. The Hagana (Jewish .self-defense) functioned during the Arab riots. In the present war. Jews once more fight as olunteers defending democracy and for the defense of Jewish positions, which have thus far been gained. The Jewish form of government which has been adopted, is collecti ism. Thus far, the Jews ha c been able to push forward the growth of Palestine into a country which soon will become known the world o er for its modernity and productixity. Under the present government, vouth groups ha e begun intensive training in na i- gation, ship-building, and fishing. Motor vehicles have taken oxer most of Palestine ' s transportation problems. Bus, taxi, and truck service link the arious settlements and cities, and connect the country with Syria, Egypt, Iraq, and the rest of the Near East. Aviation also, is taking its place in Palestine. Nearly 100 graduates have receixed goxernment pilot licenses. The Jew in all parts of the xvodd has used the Yiddish or fewish language, mixed xvith the conmion language of the countrx in xxhich he lixes. But doxvn deep inside remained the xvill to return to the I lebrexv language, the language of the Jexv. But in so doing they discovered difficulties. The Hebrew that the settlers found at hand, was a erv uncixilized rabbinical language that xxas useless for the present daily life. The settlers then adopted the Sephardi-Hebrew, used by the Oriental Jew from Morocco. This language is soft and pleasant to hear and doesn ' t seem like an oriental language. The Jexvs of Palestine xvish so much to cultixatc this I le- brexv language as their oxxn, that they refuse to speak anything else. If one asks a Jexx in Palestine a ciuestion in some language other than Hebrexv or English, I doubt if he xxould receive an ansxver. I ' . Palestine ' s Future With the present World War on, great fear has been put into the Jewish mind. The future of Palestine may xvell depend upon the outcome of this xxar. If the Germans are xictorious, then all that has thus far been done for the future of the Jewish homeland, is lost. If, as is hoped by all Jews, Britain is xictorious, the future of Palestine is secure. Then I am sure, there xvill be a clear straight road for the future planning, financing, and building of Palestine, for the Jewish people from all oxer the xvorld. y. Value of Study I feel that it is onlx ' natural for a Jew to know xhat is being done, for and by, his own people. Being a Jew, I also have the ambition of one day visiting Palestine, the home of my people. I am confronted with a problem of, choice of country or having two countries. Being a en ' greedy person, I chose the latter. From my personal point of view I chose the United States as my home while, from the point of view of a Jexx, I chose Palestine.

They had their l cginning in 776 B.C. solelv for that purpo.se. At the time of Coroebus, the first 01 nipic hero, was acclaimed for his ictories in contests, the Olympaid was regarded as quite religious, and l otli spectators and contestants en- tered the ceremonies. The winner of the games was presented witli a wreath of wild oli e leaves, blessed b ' the priests. It was a great honor to him and he spent manv hours wor- shipping Zeus, the supreme god, who was considered responsible for the victory. Housed in a illage la ishl - decorated h tlie inhabitants, the Olympic hero was showered w ' ith attention and worshipped b all. The affair was attended bv thousands of spectators who traveled miles to come to Ohmpia, the cit where the stadium was situated. Tliese people journeyed under the traditional protection and watcliful eyes of the gods. After Greece lost power and Rome ruled th e world, the 0] mpic games were greatly changed. The traditional sacred oli e wreath was no longer appreci- ated, the Olympic heroes receixed mone - and gifts. The games dragged on inter- mittently and were fmally stopped by Emperor Theodosious I of Rome in 394 A. D. Buildings crumbled, records disappeared and the glory faded. The last victor of this period is said to be ' arasdates, an Armenian prince, who won a boxing match. On the morning of April 6. 1896, King George I of Greece formallv opened the first of the modern Ohmpic games, after a lapse of some fourteen centuries. The game was introduced to the world anew bv a Frenchman, named Baron de Coubertin. He concci ed the idea that education and athletics would do much toward making a better international understanding. He foresaw the time when by re i ing the ancient games, on a world wide basis, it would promote inter- national amity. His idea was carried out and for a time the plan was successful. Inadequate organization during the first modern games tended to take away the splendor of the affair, but the United States, which had no official team or body, lifted it out of the depths through superb performances bv unknown atliletes. This first year of the reorganized Olympic games, America captured nine out of twelve events. .• s nations of the world recognized its success, the - entered teams and it wasn ' t long until o er forty nations competed. The eighth Olvmpiad had fortv-five nations entered into competition. During 1932 and 1936, nearlv fiftv countries were represented. The advancement of this affair offered new ideas to its organizers. The includ- ing of the arts in competition was one of them. Literature, painting, sculpture, arch- itecture and music became important in modern Ohmpic games as they had been in the late ancient Greek games but finally dropped and were not again added until the revival of the Olympiad in the Paris games of 1924. Of the modern Oh lupic games there have been eleven Olympiads. The first in Athens in 1896; Paris, ' 1900; St. Louis, 1904; Athens, 1906; London, 1908; Stock- i:o T H E A R r I S A N S ' 4 1 holm. 1 12; Antwerp. N20; r.iv s.

The coiintrv itself is. for I ' .nropcan proportions, a rather large country; its sur- face aniotints to 2H .()()() scjuare miles, but it has relatively few inhabitants; There are not (|uite ten peo])le in one scpiare mile. Sweden may be divided into three main parts; the southern jxirt. the niicldle part, and the northern part. In tlie South there is CJoteborg. Sweden ' s largest seajjort. I ' roni there the big steamers lease for the U. S. A. Another city in the South is Maliuo; it is important for industry as well as a seaport. There is nuich farnung in the South which is almost the only part of the whole country where the cbmate and soil is suitable for agriculture. The capital. Stockholm, is situated in the middle jjart of Sweden. It ha.s about T O.nOO inhabitants and is a very beautiful city. It is built on many small islands in a magnificent lake, the Marlaren. The eity is provided with so many bridges, that it is often called the Northern ' cniec. Let m take a little trip by boat through Stockholm. We start at the city hall and pass tlic parliament building and the royal castle. c are lucky because it is just 12 o ' clock and we had the chance to .see the niilitar review which takes place every day at this time; it is very interesting. Vc continue our trip to the harbor. There usually are no big ships at Stockholm ex- cept in the summer time when there arc steamers moving in the Baltic. Wc had the opportunity to admire a modern ocean steamer, and were allowed to go abcjard and also to iew the inside of the ship. One day we visited a large park, called the ' njurgarden. ' Ihere are the lovelv villas of a few princes and diplomats. I ' inalh wc went back to the eitv hall again, and entered the Northern Museum. ' Iliis building itself is wonderful and it is interesting to look at the things whieh arc shown within it. Uppsala, about 40 miles north of Stockholm, is an old town, well known for its cathedral and for its univer- sity, ' niere, the first Bible, written in Latin, is kept. The major occupation of the people in the villages is fishing. ' Iliere are no large cities in the North. TTiis part of the countr consists of forests, rocks, waters, snow, snow, and snow again. The very North, not far away from the North Pole, where it ne er gets light in the winter and never gets dark in the summer, is the home of the Laplanders. llie Swedes are a very highly cultured people. The schools are very good, but er different from the schools in the United States. The children start in the clc- mentar school when thye are seven years old. lliere thev sta four ears. whether poor or rich; but after these four years those children whose parents are able to pav the dues can transfer to high school, while the other children stav in the elementan ' school four years more. The children who go to high schorjl ha e to take three for- eign languages, yes really three. In the fifth grade they start with English, in the se enth grade with German and in the ninth grade with French. After the eleventh grade, the girls and boys can be graduated. The graduation, however, does not per- mit them to attend the University. In order to get this permit thev have to go still two more years to high school and then take the final examination. The - also have to stud) Latin the last two years. The boys and girls cannot choose their subjects, 122 THEARTISANS ' 41 but have to take every subject which comes only a few times a week. The school I went to in Stockholm started at S o ' clock in the morning. All classes first went to the gvm, which was used as an auditorium. I ' herc wc had to say morning prayer and sing a few psalms. At 8:30 the lessons began. The first period lasted until 9:1 5. Then a ten minute pause l ctwccn the periods. Tlie whole class remains in one classroom all day, taking the same subjects and teachers as they come. Of course it is easy for us to get acquainted. From 11:00 o ' clock to 12:30 is lunch period and almost evcrv one goes home. A few times a week, school ended at 3:00 o ' clock; the other times at 4:00 o ' clock. Everybody was as happy as you are here, when the bell of last period rang. The monc ' which is used in Sweden is called krona (crown) and ocre. Food costs practically as mucli as it docs in the United States, but the rent and cost of housing and clothes is higher. The people, except the Laplanders of course, are dressed like the Americans. The clothes worn by the Laplanders are skins of polar bears or reindeer. The food of the Swedes is quite a bit different from the food we eat here. They eat e ' er thing sweet. You can hardly find an bread except knackerbrocd, with- out sugar. The knackbroed is a thin, crisp bread, which is ver ' popular in Swe- den. The soups are often made with milk and sugar. The Swedes usually eat ver ' much fish, especialh ' the stroemming, a ver - small fish. The Laplanders live on raw fish, and the milk and meat of the reindeer. The girls and boys in Sweden are not very different from the American boys and girls. They like to eat candies, ice cream, hot dogs, etc. and go out in the even- ing. But there hardly ever is a girl who wears make up. One thing which everv girl has to remember is, that she drops a curtsy, when she meets an older person. The Swedes think that it is very impolite when a girl forgets to do that. I said that the boys and girls like to go out in the evenings. You probabh are interested in where they go. Well, when we did not ha ' e anv monev, we usualh went skiing in winter and bicycling in the summer. Almost evenbodv has a bicvcle. When we had a little bit of money we went to a show or a dance. The Amer- ican pictures are very popular in Sweden. If we wanted to dance, we went to Skan- sen. That is part of the park Djucrgarden where the dancing room in the open air is situated. We danced the same dances as you do here, but we also danced old folk dances, to which everybody sings. When we had much monev (that happened as often to us, as it does to you here ) , we went to the opera or the dramatic theater. At both theaters there are verv good artists and we rcalh- enjo ed going there. It was particularly interesting when somebody of the royal famih or King Gustav him- self was present at the performance. There were special boxes for the members of the royal family. There are a couple of holidays in Sweden, which are not here. The 1st of Ma is made a holiday as a sign of the beginning of spring. Especialh the exening before this holiday, is celebrated. Everybody dances around big fires, which are made on hills and the students of the universities have to throw their hats in the fire and put on white caps, which the ' v ear during spring and summer-time. Another holiday ) I STORY AND ' F, R S K 123 is the CNCning of tlic 24tli of )uiic and tlic wliolc dm of tlic 25th, Midsummer. On the e ' eiiiiig of the 24th e eryl5od - sliould remain up until it gets completely dark, in otiier words, nobody goes to bed because on that night, it never really gets dark. The Swedes are very much engaged in all kinds of sports. In winter of course they do ice-skating, skiing, and tobogganing. Alreadv the smallest children are out- standing in these sports. In towns and villages ice-skates, skiis and toboggans are used as a means of communication. Suppose we made a little ski-trip to a village a few miles outside Stockholm. We do not dress too warm because one always gets rather hot in distance skiing; but I think you would need about three pairs of mit- tens. You better wax your skiis so they can glide easilv, not too much though, be- cause you would never be able to stop again. First we take the streetcar to get out of the city. Reaching the terminus, we put on our skis, being careful that we put them on right, because it takes much time to put them on again on the way. We can find the right trail at once, because it is marked bv little red paper pieces, which hang on the trees. It is sure beautiful out there. Everything is covered with snow, clean snow; since it snowed the last time, nobody has been on the trail. The snow is frozen a little bit; we like that because it is much easier to ski on hard snow, than on soft. Finally, we reach the top of a hill. Now the real fun Ijcgins, we jump off and after a short while we arrive on a frozen lake at the foot of the hill. All of us are on our feet, nobody falls. After crossing the lake, we come to a highway. We see a cou- ple of horses, drawing people on skiis. Let us hang on too! That is nice, we sure move much quicker now; and soon we reach our destination. We are rather tired and hungry too, it feels good to get the heavy skiis off our feet and to take hot coffee and cakes. In the summer most of the people go to the country, to the seaside places. There is no sand at the beach, but big rocks where the people take sunbaths. Of course they swim and sail a great deal. Games— football, basketball and baseball are played too. Tennis is also a very popular sport. The more than 80 year old king is one of the best tennis players. Sweden is one of the very few European countries which has been sa ed from the war. Let us hope it will remain so, in the future. The Swedish government has done the most possible to protect the citizens in case the countr should be attacked by bombers. Every house has a modern shelter.

Practicing Americanism by learning experiences; with pleasure and good fel- lowship. These were the things open to me if 1 should accept appointment. I real- ized that onlv once in a life time is such a chance offered and I was very happy to accept. Boys State is sponsored bv the American Legion with the faint hope that through this training a few honest politicians will arise in the coming generation. Boys are chosen for their scholastic ability, leadership, honor, intelligence, and reliabilitv. This selective method eliminates all but the few that are sent as repre- sentatives of their school and community. Only three hundred and fifty were al- lowed entrance out of a possible million eligible. Lots of sunshine, fresh air, good food and pleasant surroundings go to make Boys ' State a pleasant place. If the trip is not desirable to some from an educational standpoint it should be undertaken for its dietetic value. The amount of food consumed is enormous. Upon ariving at Boys ' State everyone imniediateh sets about to secure the of- fice of his choice. In the miniature State, posters and speeches are used in an effort to secure an office. Caucuses are held and pri atc calls are made in hundreds. Peti- tions are shoved under one ' s nose until the last moment; then comes the election. Booths are used and ever thing goes according to schedule just as in civic life. The city offices are first filled; councilmcn. ma ors. police chiefs ; then come the election of county officials, sheriff, district attornc , superior court judges, then at last the election of state officers: governor, secretary of state, etc. After elections are over all office holders settle down to practice their respec- tive offices. False charges are made and the accused is Isrought to a speedv justice. Laws are made and broken. All this continues for one glorious week till the sad moment comes when all good things nnist end. He wlio goes, will ne er regret his doing so. The Daily Activities in Boys ' State The schedule of activitv for an a eragc dav in Boys ' State, is rexeille at 6 a. m.. breakfast from 7 to 7:4 ' 5 a. ni.; the inspection of quarters till 8 a.m. From 8:00 until 12:00 all offices in the City, County and State are functioning. Then at 12 mess is served and lasts till 1 :00 p. m. From 1 :00 p. m. to 1 : 0 p. m. there is rest. followed by swinnning, organized athletics, educational tours, etc., until 5 p. m. Between 5 and 6 p. m. problems of State, County and City governments are discussed. Then comes mess from 6:00 p. m. until 7:00. For fortv-fi e minutes there is recreation followed bv lectures, instructions and entertainment until 9: ' ?0 p. m. After this, your time is free, to do with as you please until taps at 10:00 p. m. During the winter of 19 4, the Americanism Connnission for tiic Dc]3artuicnt of Illinois founded the first Bo)s ' State at Springfield. Mere it met with unanimous S T O R Y A N D ' E R S E 125 approval. Then at tlic Sc cntccnth Animal Convention of tlie American Legion, a resolution was adopted. It read: ' Rcsohed, liy the American Legion, that we highly endorse the Bo s ' State Mo ement and recommend that it be made an essential part of tlie National Americanism Program. From tliis beginning, success lias coiitiiuied to be a twin partner to tlie nunement. Now in 1940, tliere arc over twent -fi c states assisting in the program. Much credit is due to such grand organizations as the Forty and Eight; the Bar Association; the Bo - Scouts; Cliaiiilx ' r of Commerce; the Elks; Kiwanis Club ; Knights of Columbus; Knights of Pythias; Knights ' lemplar; Lions Club; Masons; the D.A.R. and P.T.A.; Business Men ' s Association and many Women ' s Clubs. If it were not for this patronage, these Boys ' States would be impossible to operate. I GRADUATION Bv Dadecn Wheeler ( The ' illage Blacksmith by Longfellow Under the steaming June-time sun The graduates ex]3ire And there they sit ' til past, well done Like chickens on a fire.

Of course, this challenges your American pioneer spirit, so with cliin held high, von plank down your coppers, and you are now in possession of a bright shiny ticket. Immediately it is grabbed from you by someone in uniform, and before you decide whether he be general or major, you find your arms full of candy, ice cream, keno tickets, pottery, cosmetics, and if you ' re one of the lucky ones, you may also find that ou own 12 rooms of furniture— which should gi e you some armful. After dropping these accessories into the nearest waste basket, you proceed to enter. Flinging open the curtains ou stride into the theatre, but suddenly find yourself on the floor having given a society lady an awful bump. After assuring the indignant person that vou meant no harm and rubbing your recently slapped cheek, you find the cause of your spill, the usher. The usher strolls down the aisle, waving his arms at his friends, and winking at the prettiest girls. After having completed the ancient ceremony of stepping on everyone ' s feet in your row, you wiggle into your seat. Immediately it shoots forward like a shot and you bang our knees on the seat in front with a loud and resounding crack. (You try to remember to bring your little brother ' s football knee guards the next time.) Being not cjuite comfortable, you sc|uirm back in your seat, and much to your utter amazement and discomfort, you find yourself not looking at the screen, but at the feet of the person behind vou. Feeling rather ridiculous you try to scjuirm around a bit to show our discomfort, but all ou get is a rough push which sends you reeling toward a big bulk. You spring up immediately, both arms raised to ward off the blows, which you are certain must soon be flying your way. Nothing but down in front and squat bud meet your ears and so you take their ad ice and try to sit down. Where you thought the seat was, wasn ' t, and you find yourself rolling out in the aisle. You are finally stopped by the legs of five or six immense ushers. As you are being pushed (rather roughly, too,) out of the theatre, you try to explain, but all you get for your explanation is a double popsicle in your open mouth. Once again vou are walking down the street, a few coppers poorer and nuich, much wiser, stepping on stray ants, kicking stray dogs, etc. SIOR V AND ' ERSE 127 PACIFIC PARADISE By Camilla Oriic Where beauty touclies earth with rest, Where romance lingers at its best, Witli rh thniic niONenient ]xilni trees sway, And sun earesses earth b clay.

Arkansas is tlie land of enchantment. On the back of tra el folders and Chamber of Connncrce pamphlets, the statements above are true. In reality, little of the Good Old Boys are left. There still are talkative Hillbillies, but only scattered through the hills and not overrunning the state. Gale Spinner, or grandpa is al ays willing to tell a tale. Grandpa is an old gentleman of seventy or more years with snow white hair, sparkling eves, and a happy smile. Grandpa li es in Rogers, Arkansas, a small town of about 3,000 people, approximately twenty miles from Fayetteville. Rogers is not a one street town, but has several main streets with its outskirts of modern dwellings nuicli like an other city. Like all small towns, its highest point is the water tower, and then the cit hall of fi c stories. The water comes from a lake about a half mile from the center of the town which was made by damming up a stream and letting the water fill a natural alley. The town is spread out on top of a hill and has but one railroad ternnnal, no steet cars, nor taxis; and horse drawn carts are quite common. One of its main streets is named Electric Street, and at number (S O, quite near the end, li es grandpa. Grandpa has spent all his life in Arkan.sas. He was not himself in the Civil War, but got most of his stories from his daddy. Since grandpa cannot move except with great care, he was bed ridden for 12 ' ears with rheumatism and walks with a limix and has one arm drawn out of shape. He will tell any listeners stories. What do you sav that you and I become listeners? Well, he begins, with little or no accent, this battle was the battle of Pea Ridge (Pea Ridge is about 20 miles from Roger), where my daddy was shot. It wasn ' t a serious wound and didn ' t hurt at all. Daddy said it was like getting hit bv a rock, but when he tried to pull the trigger of his gun, his finger just ouldn ' t work. The bullet entered his shoulder and snapped something. Most of the armies were bedded down and it was trench war fire. The bullets were flying thick and fast. The north were taking quite a toll in our li es with their favorite trick. The would take an ordinarv cannon and load it with about a bucket of steel balls, an inch in diameter. When they entered our li es, they played ' hell. ' During the same battle, one of the many cannon balls that were fired came rolling at a seemingly slow rate and a soldier put his foot out to stop it. The soldier, who really was an officer, stayed still, but the foot and ball kept going. He never walked again, without aid. Mv daddy was once getting a drink at a small creek lying down on his belly in the cane. He had just finished when another man took his place in the same spot. There came a shot and he completely disappeared. Yep! young man, the Civil War was just as blood)- as the best of them and fought over such a silly cause. You know, son, the Emancipation Proclamation was issued after the war, and had nothing to do with its cause. ' SIORY AND ' i: R S F, 129 A MASTERS ' UKRO By Betty Alnioiid I am a dog. Most people wouldn ' t eall me a beautitul dog, liut I must be at- tracti e or the dogs wouldn ' t wag their tails at me as they pass the pet sho]) window. For two months I had been sitting in a )Den eoxered with sawdust. People would come in and pick me up, maul mc around, then put me back in my pen. One lady even kissed me on the ear. You could hear the smack all over the shop. Then one late afternoon, a tall, dark, and handsome man entered my shop. My heart began to go like sixtv for he fitted my dream of an ideal master. He had a gay, carefree smile.eyes of deep blue that would sparkle when he laughed. I liked his suit, which was dark blue. Me had a funn belt with a long black stick hanging from the side of it. I ' he owner showed him around the shop and I could see him picking up my friends from their pens. I thought he would never get to me. Finally he walked o cr to m pen and put his hand down. I slipped my nose into his warm, calloused hand, feeling a thrill of delight as he caressed mv head and ears. Bill, I later learned was his name. He turned to the owner, handed him some green stuff, then tucked mc under his arm and strolled out the door. The two years I spent with Bill were wonderful. In the evenings Bill would sit in his easy chair, and I would lie by his feet. We would gaze into the fire with dreamy eyes. I came to know his every action. The sound of his voice told me whether he was angry, happy, sad or depressed. I knew his footsteps even though I couldn ' t see him. But. most of all I knew his eyes. Sometimes he would take my head between his hands and look at me with a loving, soft gaze and murmur words. The words, I couldn ' t understand, but his eyes voiced his feelings. One night he came home with something red running out of his arm. Then a man came with a black bag. I knew something was wrong so I stayed at his side, watching and waiting. In a few weeks he was his old self again. Well, two months ago Bill came rushing home. He grabbed me under his arm and sped to his identical of dress friends. They were all gathered in front of a big building. All the men hid around the place. I didn ' t know what was going on so I stuck close to Bill. We entered the building where there were a lot of small wind- ows with people standing in front of them. Bill and I went out the back door which led into an alle , and there we hid behind a box. In the front some men had got out of a car and entered the building. Then the roaring began from the black sticks. The door leading into the alle ' opened and a man silently slipped out. He was carrying a bag that would clink and rustle when it moved. Bill said something and the man whirled. I could feel Bill all tensed. A hatred for this sneaking individual came over me. A growl came from mv throat and I sprang toward him as something roared. When I opened mv eves. Bill ' s anxious face was hovering over me. His deep blue eves were pleading while he whispered words. I felt his hand on my head. Then all went black. I guess I don ' t have to go into detail s except that the black sticks were guns and I caught the bullet that was intended for Bill. I was a hero. But I was only glad that I could gi e m life for mv master ' s. I am in heaven now awaiting for Bill- patiently. 130 TH E ARTI S AN S ' 4 1 GREEK SCULPTURE B Kijome Saneto There are maiiv sculptors among tlie Greeks wortliy of praise and everlasting glory, but because of a few, the lesser ha e been o ershado cd. The founder of the athletic t pe of sculpture, which became such a marked feature in the art of the Peloponnesus, may be accredited to Polyclitus. Polyclitus was a student of Argive. The Argi e school followed the ' mask face polic , which was more or less a marked feature of the Egyptian art which so greatly influenced Greek art, and to them, only the beauty and perfection of form existed. They troubled very little about facial expression; therefore, one perfect face was just like the perfect face of anyone else. While Polyclitus clung to the mask face policy, he was the chief man to break away from another and more powerful change in Greek art which is of everlasting importance to the world. Until his day, all the statues were made standing squarely on the ground. After studying the beautiful, naked human body in the con- gregation of youths, Polyclitus was convinced that this was not normal. He, therefore started to make statues with one foot free, its toes resting lightly on the ground, and the weight of the body on the other foot. Most of his famous work was of the ath- letic type. Doryphorus being the most famous but the wonderful Hera, queen of Heavens, in gold and i or - shows that he also had great imagination. Another old tradition of the Egyptian sculpture was shattered by Myron. The Egyptians had decreed for centuries that the center line of the body should be ver- tical, and the Greeks followed suit. M ron broke away from this tradition triump- hantly, and presents to us the incomparable Discolobus. Discolobus is a youth bend- ing toward ready to hurl a discus into the air; the first piece of art in perfect action. Although M ron was a student of Argive, too, he was an Athenian, and showed in his work the ideal of the Athenians. His face was lighter and more individual. Especially, in Lada, the famous runner who died after the foot race at Ohmpia, My- ron gives us an astounding replica of the boy at his tragic end in the sureness of vic- tory, and with the single purpose of reaching for the victor ' s crown. Thus, a tradi- tion triumphanth ' broken h Mvron was triumphantly replaced by him. The two mentioned sculptors as well as many others would have made any epoch remarkable. Fate made Myron and Polyclitus contemporaries of Phidias. Phidias, the name that rings through the centuries of Greece in her golden glory. Phidias was the king of sculpture; he strove for an ideal. His was a threefold ideal encircling spiritual conception, sense of beauty, and a passion for perfection. These ideals he sculptured into the very wood out of which the famous statue of Zeus and that of the goddess, Athene, were made. He carved into their very faces, a holy godliness— a godliness which so deeply affected the people of Greece. So many of these gigantic statues were made that later generations have wondered how he ever made them so perfect. Alone, the flowering genius of Phidias blossomed forth on Greece; alone, he startled the world; and glorified the nation and the century. But his fame was not limited to his own time— he belongs to the whole world and to all times!

Many reasons account for this. Beginning the term with new club sweaters was a great treat to each member, as was also the anticipation in looking forward to the musical and social acti ities to come. A grand picnic was held at Ladera Park with the Lyric Club girls, which was followed b - Mothers ' Night, an innovation which will be repeated each semester. The last and most important which, as always, is the highlight of the term, was the banquet held on May 27, at City College. The musical part included singing at Aud calls. Coordinating Council Benefit, several Sunda - c cning programs. Occidental College, Spring Music Ecsti -al, the third annual trip to the Los Angeles Breakfast Club, and last but not least, singing at graduation, wliicli is a tradition here at Manual. Tlie principal aim of the clul) is to be a true representative of the Manual spirit, both in fellowship and singing. These high aims, ideals and traditions keep e cn member at his best and make each one conscious of his loyalb, ' and rcsponsibilit -, l oth in club activities and on the campus. The officers for the term were Dave Dow, president; Fred Gledhill, vice- president; Jack Raith, secrctar ; Jack Sliaw, treasurer; Ed Creamer, librarian; Cl dc Boyle, liistorian; Vd t Little, publicit}- manager; and directed and sponsored by Elizabeth Mottern. The accompanist for the term was Louise Meadow ' s. , MUSIC AND DRAMA 133 f Ji LYRIC CLUB Along with the good music, good friends, and good times h Creed, tlieme song of tlic Girls ' L ric Club, e cr rings clear. True to Manual and to the high ideals of the club are these musicalh inclined girls ' ho meet c -ery fourth period in bungalow three. Since its founding, thirteen years ago, this club has popularized itself until now it is recognized as one of the most outstanding and essential student organizations in school. The first part of the term was spent in learning sc eral new songs, so that the club would be ready for public appearances when called upon; one of the occasions arrived during the third week of the new term, when the girls sang two numbers for the first Girls ' League Installation ceremony. The Get-Aequainted Party was an earh- social event, but a er - important one, for it was here the new members were gi en big sisters, and local talent was introduced. Shortly after, the girls became acquainted with the Aeolian fellows in a combined party. Everyone enjoyed the get-together, and the entertainment which was provided bv the gifted members of each club. Highlighted m the term was the all inqjortant Spring Music Festival, on Mav 8th, which was the initial performance of Deems Ta lor ' s great work, The Cham- bered Nautilus, in conjunction with the Aeolian Club and Manual Arts Symphony Orchestra. The Lyric Club was complimented in being asked to take part in the fifth annual spring fcsti al at the Shrine Auditorium on May 23. Time out was taken for the always anticipated Lyric-Aeolian Club Picnic which was held at Ladera Park, on June 14th. The cabinet which guided the club through an eventful and verv successful term included: president, Ethelyn Haddock; ice-president, Florence Chlcntzos; secretar -, Lorraine W iite; treasurer, Inez Wilson; historian, Lorraine ' alker; librarians, Leta Mae Price, Ilenc Roth; accompanist, Elizabeth Garrott. Mrs. Madsen and Miss Davids shared the dircctorshi]) through one of the best and busiest terms that the Lyric Club has ever had. 134 THE ARTISAN S ' 4 1 A CAPPELLA CHOIR A Cappellans are those Manualitcs who have a sincere love of good music, good scholastic records, and can warble a tune so that it is recognizable. Students enrolled in Miss Elizabeth Mottern ' s third period class in bungalow 2 have the inner satisfaction of watching their own growth as an individual, reflected in others, and as a singing group. An outstanding out-of-school acti it was the A Cappella picnic held at Ladera Park on April 17. Members of the A Cappella Choir work diligcuth ' , but find gusto and whole- some pleasure in their work. Officers for the term were: Dan Conforti, president; N ' irginia Schmidt, vice- president; Minnie Garafolo, secretar -; Paul Shon, treasurer; Anita Yoon, and Ralph Nicholson, librarians. BOYS ' JUNIOR GLEE As always, harmony was the keynote of this term ' s Boys ' Junior Glee Club, whicii flourished under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Mottern, sponsor. Harmony is singing, for one ' s own pleasure and the pleasure brought to others. Ilarmonv in work as a group, otiicr than singing activities, is another im- portant lesson learned by these boys who are usually outstanding in other walks of school life. Known for tlicir zip and zest in singing, these musical boys tediously learn to distinguish and maintain good tone qualit ' , clean-cut diction, and correct posture. Better understanding and therefore better interpretations of songs is brought within reacli of the Bovs ' Junior Glee clubbers. Officers for the term were: president, Julian Wolf; vice-president. Bill Lums- dcn ; Ha rr Church; lil rarians, Roy Capuano and Da ' e Masiiljurn. GIRLS ' JUNIOR GLEE Your opportunity to improve your singing voice and study under the quiet mas- tery of Mrs. Madscn arc right liere at Manual, and a number of girls take advantage of this ever ' term. Many songs are learned and the girls soon learn to sing in varied musical parts under Mrs. Madsen ' s tutelage in the Girls ' Juior Glee Club. Girls who have received club pins are proud to say; I am glad to have this opportunit - to belong to the Girls ' Junior Glee. Officers were: Pat Gilman, president; ' ice-president. June Fielder; secretary- treasurer. Glee Lloyd; accompanist. Rose Click; librarians. Donna Clauscrand and Estella Aisnber. I 1 MUSIC AND DRAMA 135 ,o ..: A Cappella Choir, Girls ' Junior Glee, Boys ' Junior Glee, String Quartet, String Trio ]56 I ' ll E A R r 1 S AN S ' 4 1 THE CONCERT BAND Tlic Mamuil Arts Concert Band, during the term of Summer ' 41, has brought forth much liidden talent. Regarding our playing ability, the aims ha ' c grown, surpassing the expectations of the new director. We are also looking forward to a larger and greater band next term. The Concert Band builds greater musicians. Under the leadership of Mr. Myers, the band has come through this semester with thing standards. With the cooperation of the student body, the band will soon be known throughout the citv of Los Angeles, and will certainly be invited to entertain more often than it has in the past. This term the band was guided by: Henry Bates, president; vice-president, Robert Dixon; treasurer. Bob Goff. THE LITTLE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA This semester the students of Manual Arts High School have enjoyed many times the music of the Little Symphon) ' Orchestra. It has been the purpose of this organization to gi ' e music students an opportunity to serve their school with good s niphonic music. The orchestra was enlarged this semester by the addition of many new students in the music department. With Mr. Myers as its director, the orchestra was well rcccixcd b - the entire student body. The term was brought to a close for the Little Sxinphonv Orchestra with their fine showing in their spring concert. The officers for this term were: president, Gerald Borch; vice-president. Henrietta Klein; secretary, Charlotte Weir; treasurer, Gloria Roberts. THE ' OCATIONAL ORCHESTRA The ' ocational Orchestra at Manual Arts has for its purpose the trainmg of student musicians in dance music routine. This experience is amplified by appear- ences at school and outside dances. Mr. Myers is the new instructor and comes to Manual Arts from Los Angeles City College. The members of the band are paid for all the hops and dances. The music is furnished by the school. This semester the tweh ' c piece orchestra was under the management of Bob Goff, Sunmier ' 41. The officers were: President, Bob Goff; -ice-president, secretary, LaVonne Parker; treasurer, Ben Susman. THE STRING QUARTETTE The string quartette and the string trio are really er - important groups as far as school and community service is concerned. I belie e we ill be perfectly justified in giving their pictures some space in the Artisan. The ' perform for such events as the following: World Friendship Banquet at Citv College, Girls ' Lyric Club Mothers ' Tea, P.T.A. programs made up of their own members to which an audience is invited. Outside organizations sometimes call for small groups. Similar organizations to these ha e pla ed at as manv as twenty affairs during the year. II MUSIC AND DRAM A r y !W1. ' A J a fli a ' A Pi The Band, Vocational Orchestra, Concert Band 138 THE ARTISAN S ' 41 YOUTHS ' CHANCES IN THE WORLD OF MUSIC B) Jack Eccleston W ' itli the rise of music ' s popularity, young people throughout the nation ha e regarded music as a recognized field instead of a pleasurable a ocation, and many liave entered the occupation to find fame and fortune awaiting them. Others— well- others, as is true in every occupational category, have fallen by the wayside. Music has risen to the realm of big business, with all of tlie implication of the word business. If the aspirant lacks tiie talent, the personality, that elusive it, necessary in all walks of life, music will offer him no more opportunity than he deserves. With music skyrocketing to its present peak, thousands have sought to get their cut of profits that those at the top of the heap may share. In every small town there IS at least one orchestra which handles all of the demands made upon it by its pop- ulation; in cities there are more. Throughout the nation there arc thousands (and this is no exaggeration ) of small musical combinations dreaming of the day when they will acquire the mythical crown and the not so mythical sums from one night stands and theater engagements. All of these small aspiring groups have made a great deal of competition, with a deadline in the profits of all. Because there are so many orchestras, many struggling for existence, only the yen ' best (and even these arc sometimes lost in the shuffle of the popularity ' deck) receive the rewards they seek. Radio has done most for making orchestras famous throughout the nation. Before, orchestras ' publics were limited to the people in the immediate vicinity, and the bands had no opportunit to make themselves known. Now, radio spreads their names and music throughout the nation, paving the way for personal tours. Oftentimes, orchestras catch the public ' s fancy for but a short while, and the band ' s fall is as meteoric as its ascendancy to public favor. It has been discovered, through the medium of experience, that orchestras which maintain a stead - public, live in comparative ease during a normal business lifetime. These favored combinations have been observed to be the society tA ' pe of orchestra- that which plays for hotel and grill entertainment. Symphony work offers a lesser opportunity in the way of renumerative rewards. The dance band field is not as glamorous as it appears from the outside. Playing in an orchestra is work,— complete and exhausting. Steady night work offering little time for healthful athletic recreation takes quite a bit from the newcomer until he can adjust himself to the new environment. Rehearsals more than make up for the short hours of actual playing for dancers and the audience. It is difficult work— but many love it! Youngsters have rich and golden opportunities in music and can reach heights, providing they can fulfill the many qualifications set up by the oh-so-fickle public It is possible to loaf along in the welter of mediocre bands in the nation and live comfortably with a minimum of talent, but to ascend the pinnacle of success re- quires more. Talent is neeessar — inherent ability. Ambition is, also, no mean asset. Making music is a business— make it one if you plan to enter it. MUSIC AND DRAMA 159 PLAYERS ' COMPANY Molding joint clul) meetings the Players ' and Masqners were under tlie able sponsorship of Mr. Aron.

He gives her a terrific rush. Shows, candy and an expensive bottle of cologne. This eau.ses her to haunt the beauty parlor so she will look just right. In one inci- dent when thev were rolling yarn together he kissed her. Then Julie Harris comes along and Roger is attracted to her. Penny sees her first love vanish into the clutches of what she calls a woman of the world. She decides that the only way to get Roger back is to get the red dress called the glamour girl and wear it. When Roger sees how mature she is in it she feels sure he will come back to her. It only cost fifteen dollars and everything looks gloomy until Pennv discovers that Chuck has saved fifteen dollars. He needs it to hire a motor boat so that if his glider falls into the lake he can be hauled in by the boat. She finds Chuck and talks him into lending her the money for the dress. On the night of the party, arrayed in the new red glamour girl dress, she walks out to greet her friends and is laughed at until she leaves in tears. Her mother tells her to put on the red jacket that came with the dress and go back and face them. Later from Mr. Harris she learns that Chuck has ne er come to the party. Suddenly she remembered that Chuck skipped the party and went up in his glider this very night before his father found it. The money she borrowed from him was for the motor boat in case he fell in the lake. Bravely she tries to hide how badly she feels by trying to keep the party going. Finalh- Chuck is found.

MUSIC AND DRAMA HI Behind the Scenes of June Mad 142 THE ARTISAN S ' 4 1 I AM AN OLYMPIAN By Kiyome Saneto I am an Olvmpian. I am an American, too. I reign supreme in our little democracy at Manual Arts this term. Tomorrow I shall battle with a world of stress and trial, but I am not afraid. I am eager to tangle with the world and once again establish the Olympian spirit of fairness. Yes, I have a job to do! You, and I. and even, ' one has. My job is to make America strong. We have our lands to hold, our waters to protect, and our skies to guard, but, above all, we ha e people to make happ}. You and I make them up. The people shall weld America ' s strength. We, as the people, must build that strength with the aid of the Democratic Principle. We, the Olympians, live with that belief. We have traditions to uphold, that of the ancient Greeks. The Greeks uu- knowingh had pa ed the wav for modern civilization. Among the handful of Greeks living among slaves more numerous than themselves, there culminated a culture comparable with no other land. Homer gave us poems— poems describing the heroic deeds of those days gone h . Phidias ga e us statues so perfect in their detail that the world is still awed by them. Socrates and Plato gave us thoughts in philosophv still powerful in the world. Mathematicians, orators, and athletes of the age gave their best and startled the world. In fact, all the Greeks strove for perfection. Ihcir age encouraged genius of every kind to establish new foundations for the life of man. Striving for perfection and a ill to carr through in all we do mav well be our slogan for life. Vc, the Ohnipians, of this modern age have enjoyed great advantages from tiie past. We shall ha e a bright future. 144 THE ARTISAN S ' 41 R. O. T. C. STAFF Paul Kennedy, Lieutenant-Colonel Major Wni. K. Wilson, U. S. A., Retired Sergeant Frank Hurst, U. S. A. John Hcnrickson, Capt.

They were under the leadership of Major Blair and Lieutenant Moore. 1920— Our Regimental Band won City Championship. 1921— Captain Wilson, now Major Wilson, came to Manual. 1922— Manual has the largest enrollment of anv L. A. school, 270 cadets. Under Captain ' ilson, the ' attained the highest honor possible. Nxre selected as one of the se en honor schools in America. 1926— Our rifle team made the highest record in the Hearst Trophy match and defeated U.S. C. s crack squad. 1929— Girls ' rifle team, which had been started in 1922. achic cd such perfection this ear that no one would compete against them. 1932— R. O. T. C. obtained high rating in Honor School Inspection, for the sixth time since 1928. 1933_Again we won Honor School.

For the tenth time during his sixteen ears at Manual, we were Honor School win- ners. He was retired and replaced b - Staff Sergeant Frank Hurst. R.O.r.C. BAND What thrills vou most, when you sec a parade? Of course, the band. The roll of the drums and the blare of the brass section, seem to capture the soul of the crowd. The rhythmic feeling surges through ou and your feet begin to beat out the time. This suggests the importance of the Manual Arts R.O.T.C. band. It contributes spirit and inspiration to the new recruit. Today under the able direction of Mr. Me er. assisted b - Robert Dixon and Carl Castillian there are 27 men. The band has plaved an important part in the program of Honor School Inspection for it must pass the isiting officials first, the band must play, march and drill correeth, for a perfect beginning. Our musicians are regular R.O.T.C. men who march with rifles as well as performing in the band. This }ear has been an exceptionalh satisfactory year. RIFLE lEAM This )car the crack ritle team consists of fifteen cadets, chosen to compete in the Ninth Corps Area Match and the famous Hearst Trophy Match. The first contest is usualh ' completed in January and the latter in March. There is also a shoulder to shoulder match between the various Los Angeles units. It is held on the small bore range at U. C. L. A.. Members of the squad are; George ' ergis, Paul Kennedy, Ara A ak, Harold Johnson, Roehelle Bcllew, John Beaxer, Joe Salazar.

Band, Staff Officers 148 THEARTISANS ' 41 NON-COMS ' DRILL SQUAD ' I ' lic non-coms ' drill squad of Manual Arts is a very representative unit of the R. O. T. C. Both in the past and present this organization has typified the splendid efficiency and military precision attained by the Manual Arts cadets. The drill squad has given several exhibitions at various schools and for several clubs. This year the squad consisted of eight persons: Victor Benetar. Calvin Herring, William Brookins, Frank Rodman, Joe Sala .ar, Howard Ingersoll, Leon Baker, and James Jolnison. They were under the leadership of Sergeant Ben Kagan. OFFICERS ' DRILL SQUAD Tlie officers ' drill squad was organized to cxhil it precision in the manual of arms, and consists of officers who iiave attahied perfection in rifle drill. This se- mester, the members were: Captain Masterson; Captain Ferguson; 1st Lieutenant Gabel; 1st Lieutenant Honk; 1st Lieutenant Gleason; 2nd Lieutenant llensel; 2nd Lieutenant Woehde; 2nd Lieutenant Avak and 2nd Lieutenant Brewer. The drills consist of ten sets of exercises. Each of these men have specialized in one particular mo ement. Some are more difficult to execute than others but all of them demand both self-confidence and perfect timing. Any hesitation or fumb- ling during the drill may cause the group to lose its precision. Exhibitions are given b them, at numerous gatherings throughout the city, such as the Legion Posts. con ' cntions, lodges, clubs. ' b- ' school assemblies and banquets. The mem- bers of this drill team may be recognized by the purple and gray cords on the left shoulder. NON COMS ' CLUB The two purposes of the non-coms ' club are to create a better understanding and cooperation betw een the student body and the R. O. T. C. and secondly, through constructive criticism, impro e the unit as a whole. For the first time in sc eral terms, the non-coms ' organization became an official school club, with meetings supervised bv a school adviser. This term. Major Wilson acted as adviser. The officers for the semester Summer ' 41 were: Dennis Winnie, president; Ben Fagan, vice-president; Victor Benetar, secretary; Bill Walding, publicity-manager; and Bob Colvin, sergeant-at-arms. OFFICERS ' CLUB The Officers ' Club is composed of all commissioned officers in Manual ' s R.O. T. C. It is a semi-social club combining amusement with the problems confronting them on military affairs. The Army Ball, which is held each term and is under the direction of the of- ficers ' club, is one of the most interesting social affairs of the year. The officers for the term are Babe Masterson, president; Pat Brener, icc pres- ident; John Henrickson, secretary; Stanley Gable, treasurer; Bill Hensel, sergeant-at- arms; Claude Schapers, cliaplain. cl I M II, I TAR Y H9 MMtim Officers ' Drill Squad, Non-Coms ' Drill Squad 150 THE ARTISAN S ' 4 1 THE EDUCATION OF A GREEK CITIZEN There is little difference between man and man (at birth) but the superi- ority lies with him who is reared in the se erest school, says Thucydides ' s King Arciiidamus (Spartan ideal). Man when perfected, is the best of animals, but is equipped at birth with the weapons of intelligence and qualities of character which he may use to the vilest ends. This is one of Aristotles (Athenian) innnortal portions of philosophy. Through ideas such as these, the Greeks fashioned their education. Thc - felt, that through eloquent speech, society c ' ol ed; through societ} ' , intelligence; through intelligence, order; and through order, cixilization. When perfected, these can offer the fulfillment of the most infinite desires. The method of traming came m four stages. First, child; second, youtli ; third, man and fourth, elder. Of course, on the whole, the men received a much better education than did the women. But it was all definite))- for the betterment of their government. In Athens (the opposite from Sparta) tlierc were no state schools. Professional sclioolmasters ran their own schools. When the boy became six, he was sent with a servant, to one of these schools. Here he remained, until he was between fourteen and sixteen years old. If the family was fortunate enough to be among the wealthy, the boy would continue his schooling. The school equipment was usually very meager. There were no desks, only benches without backrests. The walls were not lined with blackboards similar to those we use today in our modern schools. No— the pupils held rolls on their knees from which thev read their lessons and on which they wrote. Their curriculum had three main divisions: writing, music, and gynmastics. The writing included arithmetic and reading; music offered the then jxjpular. Lyre, or singing. Disregarding this, we find that people were considered uneducated if they didn ' t wrestle, swim, use the bow and sling, run, leap, jump, hunt, drive chariots, hud javelins and all other tvpes of physical education. This was for all the youths of sixteen because the had to pav special attention to exercise as a preparation for war. At eighteen, the enrolled into the ranks of Athenian soldiers. Here the youths trained for two years in the duties of war and citizenship. This consisted of strenuous drills; lectures on literature, music, geometry, and rhetoric. The second year thev were assigned garrison duty or frontier guarding. I ' hen with hands outstretched over the Altar in Agraulos Temple before a council of five hundred; the solemnly took the oath of every young Athenian who is about to become a citizen. I will not diserace the sacred arms, nor will I al andon the man next to mc, wlioever he may be. I will bring aid to the ritual of the state and to the holy duties, liotli alone and in company with many. I will transmit my native commonwcaltii not lessened, but larger and better than I received it. I will obey those who from time to time arc judges; I will obc ' the established statutes and whatever other reguhi- tions the people shall enact. If anyone shall attempt to destroy the statutes I w ill noi permit it, but will repel him both alone and with all. I will honor the ancestral faith. Such is the education of an Athenian. Eked out by difficult lessons, taught in the home and learned in the street. It is an excellent combination of physical and mental, moral and athletic training of ouths with freedom at maturity I IWMVAWMtfMU JMUlUlUlUllliUlllIOITO I r r n r r r iS HWL m uv luiVMHMUMUAwm iUlUMUMUMUMUJ 152 THE ARTISAN S ' 41 YOU AND I S C 1 1 ( ) ( ) I .

The German club presented Der Rittcr und das Kind in German. It is the result of unfailing energy on the part of everyone for the past year and a half. This performance, like the ones of the olden days, drew quite a crowd and tends to boost puppet popularity again. March 19— Boois And Saddles You ' e seen them on the screen . . they have the charm of Ann Sheridan . . Boots and Saddles! Thus introduced. Boots appeared on the stage half strutting and half running in her apparent eagerness. She is the 8 years old dog star, who amazed Manual Arts students with her brilliance in performing such tricks as jumping over chairs, reading, unt ing knots, and seeing if the doors of the auditorium was closed or not at the request of her master. The training of the dogs was explained. Two baby dogs of less than a year were brought on for a trial performance. Their obedience was explained bv, Brutality accomplishes nothing. Be kind to ' our pets and watch the results. March 20— Noc.uero Sisters Organ strains from a Carmen selection filled the auditorium with a Spanish atmosphere. The curtains were drawn to disclose two Spanish senoritas— the Noguero sisters— in typical Spanish costume, with ruffles and shawls.

March 26— Senior Day Seen around the campus— some 300 students carrying paper bags— could it possibly be Senior Day? 166 T H E A R T I S A N S ' 4 1 Correct! Following the La Congaing South American Cowboys came the 300 who gave competition and plenty of it to the Olympians. Challenges of the two Senior classes were climaxed by wild cheers of the triumphant class. The baseball throw for distance was added to the traditional obstacle race, relay, 100 yard dash, and the tug-o-war. A very close race for athletic snpremacv was decided b a 4 inch difference in the baseball throw for distance. Now recognized as Senior B ' s, the Vaqueros came out triumphantU from this conflict, but the Olympians amazed the entire student b()d with their unfailing spirit. Laurels to both Senior classes! March 27 ' 1 ' ri-Y Rix:ocnition The practice house was the scene of a beautiful initiation. Ten proud girls, newly selected members to the Manual Arts Tri-Y, were presented with gardenia corsages surrounded by red and blue flowers. The girls were informed of the symlxilic meaning of the flowers. Red, for strength, white, for purity, and blue, for health. It was an impressive little ceremony, and the girls resolved to earr on the high ideals of the Tri-Y with strength, purit , and health. April 1 All serious things were forgotten by members of the Jr. and Sr. ' i ' ri Y during this term ' s splash party. Those who didnt go swimming prepared the spaghetti feed, which was later served to the starving swimmers. Miss Swerdfcger chaperoned the girls and had an equally ga ' time. Miss Knight, tlic secrctar - of the Y came to join the girls in the feed all spaghetti dinner. April 16 One hundred and fifty draftees announced on Wednesday, April 16, 1941 from Manual Arts.

Apiui, 2 Wild animals ' spree at Manual Arts. A whistling naturalist came to Manual Arts toda and showed enthusiastic spectators pictures of wild life and cabin life in tlie Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Asainst the brilliant verdure of their natural habitat, the birds and animals looked especiallv life like, but the mimicrv of tlicir trilling and calls were amazing. Mr. Caldwell ibrated higher than any key on tlie piano while giving a demonstration of the black and white warbler. He then skimmed down the scale in rendering other bird calls. y pRiL 24 A mother is a mother still The holiest thing alive. —Samuel Coleridge This was the theme of the Knights ' Mothers and Sons banquet.

But seriously— The Ohmpians pledge their life and work to uphold the high standards set by Manual. June 1 5 The militar ball, the onh stricth exclusi e dance of the term, was attended bv the arnn bo s together with their ladies. With pomp, the army ball fell into full swing as the officers and privates mingled on the floor of the girls ' gym. This event is the most splendidh planned and executed affair of any in the social calendar. The army ball committee has the duties of arranging for the decoration, program, and to see that everything runs smoothly. The credit for the sucess of the armv ball goes to the Officers ' Club, which sponsors it. Junk 20 To top a wonderful term with an equally wonderful prom, the Olympians bade adieu to Manual at their last social function. Memories was the theme carried out and memories of the prom will linger forever with the Olvmpians.

Led by Roger White, the Olvmpians lea ' e to the Vaqueros their enthusiasm and spirit with which they carried on at Manual. ro THE ARTISAN S ' 4 1 AESTHETIC ADVENTURE By Maxiiic Farraii Perhaps Walt Disney was conscious of what the Grecians thought about music wlien lie put Beethoven ' s Pastoral Symphony into a classic Greek setting. At any rate, in this fantastic composition, the imagination soars back to the mythological | clays, when gods and goddesses dwelt on Mount Olympus in pastoral simplicity. | The scene is of Mt. Olympus in all its delicate beauty. Above it, soaring through the cobalt sk ' or below it, swimming in the reflecting pool, we find Pegasus and his family. For the gods have gathered together to celebrate the great wine fcsti al in honor of Bacchus. The frolicking is stopped b the ' Tastoral Storm, portrayed by Zeus and ' ulcan. From the black clouds which have collected, come loud thunder claps and huge lightning bolts. With these, they playfully tease Bacchus, and dri e his com- panions to find shelter amid the Portals of the Temple. The darkness lifts and suddenly there appears a multi-colored rainbow. It is Iris! The scene ' s beaut is then enhanced by the thundering chariot of the Sun, Apollo. As this burst of grandeur fades, we find Morpheus and the cloak of night embracing all the earth in sleep. Diana, goddess of the moon and stars, stands poised on the crescent moon, as she releases a star tipped arrow towards the hea en. The sk ' becomes an aura of sparkling gems, flickering and guarding the tired world below.

The Barristers were at one stage of the fra - leading the locals by a fi ' e point edge, but Melton, Tavlor, and Co. cut down that lead until when the final gun went off, the score stood 3] to 30. Manual vs. Fremont December 3 — 19 to 29 Dropping their first league game to a flashx ball-handling outfit from Fremont High, the Manual casaba squad fell in defeat to the tunc of 29—19.

Manual vs. Jefferson December 1 3—17 to 30 Again turning on the full power of its jinx , Jefferson took full advantage of Frida the 13th and trounced a desperate Manual five. 30—17.

Harr ' Daniels proved himself to be the hero for the locals, bagging 10 digits throughout the fray. Manual vs. Fremont January 3—31 to 52 Crannned with thrills galore, the Pathfinders and Toilers battled until the final gun, and when the dust cleared awa -, Fremont was given the nod.

Hobi Fujiu was high point swisher for the locals for he sank a total of 7 points. Manual s. Jefferson January 10—26 to 41 A potent basketball team, from Jeff, this afternoon, sank baskets and still more baskets, leaving Manual on the short end of a 41 to 26 score. It was the same ol ' stor , as far as high point honors and game losses went, for again, it was Taylor who sank 7 points, thus again taking o cr high point laurels. Daniels, Milton, Kinne ' , and Strong composed the remainder of the starting squad. Manual vs. Washington Januar 14—51 to 50 Emerging from their usual coma of defeat, an inspired Toiler basketball squad found themselves, and gave the highly fa ored Washington quintet a trounc- ing today, the final score being 51 to 50. Wild Bill Taylor seemingly went wild in Foster g ' m and won the game son of the win side of the ledger and highly successful finish. ATHLETIC S 179 GYM TEAM Manual vs. Garfield In their opening campaign of the 1 941 season, the Manual Arts gymnasts came through to a 66 ' to 53 ' - ' victory over the Garfield Bulldogs in Foster gvm.

Dave Dow took a first in the free exercise, and Eddie llasson a first on the parallels and also on the long horse. Manual vs. Rooscxclt Conceived underdogs by a very wide margin, the Artisan gymnasts traveled to Roo-sevelt High for the opening of the Southern League competition and put up such a battle that the meet was not decided until the last event was run off. Dave Dow captained the Toiler musclemen and led the boys into action by taking a first place in the free exercise. Ray Sikking was high point man for the meet as he took a first in the tumbling and on the high bar. Other first place winners were Hasson and IIisenb - on the parallels and club swing.

Bob Saterfield took the rope climb and Eddie Hasson the long horse. Ilasson also took the parallel event. A surprise came in the side horse event when Tore Nagal edged Masaru Uchima out to take first place. Manual ' s. Washington The toughest team in the Southern League, Washington high, tra elcd to Toilerdom in the final dual meet of the season as heax ' v faxorites in their quest of the 1941 gym crown. High light of the meet was the attempt of Ed Gunney, rope climber, to set a new interscholastic record. Gunney failed but took a first in the rope climb. With Irving Metz as captain, the Artisan limberlads went right to work and took a quick lead which thev held almost all the way through the meet. Toiler hopes fell, however, as the Generals swamped the high bar and gained steadily from then on to win bv a score of 74 K ' to 60 ' 2 , Dave Dow, Masaru Uchima, Bill Snyder, and Irvin Metz took first place despite the Washington efforts. G mnastics Einals Meeting schools from the Southern League in the League finals at Washing- ton High, the Manual gym team won the Southern League title by garnering fifty- two points and leading all the way through the meet. Eddie Hasson captained the team, and the feature of the meet was Ed Gunney ' s rope climb of 5.6 seconds to set a new world ' s record. In the city preliminaries at Franklin High, Manual didn ' t do as well. The Artisan musclemen rung up 24J 2 digits and took a second spot behind the Wash- ington gNumasts, who barely nosed out the fighting Artisan team with 25 4 points. The City Finals at Manual saw the Toiler team tie Eagle Rock for fourth spot with 2y ' points as the Generals of Washington won the title twice in a row with a total of 17 points. Dave Dow captained the Toiler entrants. 182 THE ARTISAN S ' 41 VARSri ' Y BASEBALL By Bob Kenncch Manual ' s. Poly Opening up the Southern League baseball pennant chase at Poly High, the Manual softball team once again came up against a hnrler who breezed them past Artisan batters and sent them back to Toilcrdom, with a two to nothing defeat and a collective total of two scratch hits. John Bruno starred by chasing flv balls into left field from his short stop position and George Liechty made a sensational one hand catch of a long fl - ball into left field to make the put out. Manual vs. Dorscy Plaving its second league game of the season, the Artisan hitters went on a spree and scored nine runs to defeat the green and white forces of Dorsey and register a sluitout of the Don batters. Bill Struckoff pitched airtight ball and Clarence Mer- rill liit in the pinches, to spark the Toilers. Sensational in the infield were ' I ' oastv Jolinson on first and Dick Corsen at third. Manual vs. Washington Sparked bv Dick Corsen at third and the heavy hitting of Johnson, Fujiu, and Gniver, the Artisan forces captured a tough ball game from tlic ashington Gen- erals, champions last year, bv an 8 to 4 count. Hobi Fijui starred at short in the absence of John Bruno and Russ Guiver clouted a long iionic run in the third inning after Toasty J olnison li ad tri]5plcd to p it the game on ice. Manual vs. Roosevelt Shelling a trio of Roosevelt hurlers for a total of seventeen runs, the Toiler ball club took another encmv nine and surged on towards tlie Southern League champ- ionship. Roosevelt piled up fi e runs off Bill Struckoff in the early innings of the game but long range clouters, Merrill, Guiver, Fijui. Bruno and Johnson, dro e the pellet far and wide decisively trounce the Teddies. A T ' n I , r: T I c s ARSI ' l Y BASl ' iBALL (Second Team) By Bob Kenncdv W ' itli a new s stem in nsc tliis ear whereby two varsity Softball teams were used instead of the usual bee and ' arsity, Manual baseballers had plenty of chance to make either team. The gre - team under the tutelage of Coach Lougheed got off to a rather shaky sta rt, losing their first game to Poly high by a 7-6 count. The game see-sawed back and forth but the Parrots finally came through to a xicton,-. After being rained out in a couple of pre ious games the grey unit with l ' elix doing the hurling, came back in their second encounter with Washington High to play the same brand of ball as that against Poly ; thc - were finally nosed out se ' cn to six after another see-saw battle. Meeting Poly for the second time in the last half of the season, the winning combination of grc s accomplished what had been impossible before and defeated the Parrots hv a score of 13 to 7. High light of the game was when the Parrot third baseman fell into the mud while chasing a foul ball. The last four innings of the game were pla ed in the rain. In the Roosevelt game the Toiler ball club had a little more trou]:)lc tiian was previoush- expected. After going through three scoreless innings, the Teddies drove two runs across the plate and then held on to almost close the door on the Toiler club. Onl - a late inning three run rally gave the Artisans another ' ictor)-. Meeting the Washington Generals for the season ' s second time the Toiler grey team went on a spree to make up for the pre ious loss with a 10 to 7 victory over the General forces. Ro ' Capuano lead the Artisan attack with a long home run and several sensational catches in the outfield. Concluding a victorious season at Roosevelt high, the already once victorious Toiler grey unit came through to another win over the Teddies to wind up the sea- son on the win side of the ledger and a highly successful finish 184 T H E A R T I S A N S ' 4 1 BEE TRACK Bv Art Baldwin Opening tlic league season Manual traveled to the Poly oval and was over- whelmed by the Parrots to the time of 87-68. Ray Isum jumped 5 ft. 10 in. in the high jump and Walt Ilouk was seeond in a 1:28.6 660. The Toilers then proceeded to make good their other loss by defeating Roosevelt, 96 ' to 68 ' j. Manual took first, second and third in the 660, 1520. pole ault and high jump with Ilouk, Curtis, Tompert and Isum the respective winners. Manual again went in the hole b - losing to a strong Fremont team, 87 4-67; . Miranda was a suprise winner in the 1 320. Curtis slipped into seeond spot. The Washington Generals were given a good thumping on their own track to the tune of 95-60. Plouk won the 660 in 1:29. Clyde Donnot took the hurdles in 9.8. Tompert continued his string of victories in the pole vault. In the final dual meet Manual came thru and showed that Manual too can do it spirit b ' defeating Jefferson 78-77. Walt Houk won the 660 in 1:28, Jack Burgc won the shot put, and Dave Bower the pole vault. With c erything but the pole vault and relay run Jeff led 71Jj-63 4 and needed onlv 6 points to cinch the meet. The relay team ran before the pole vault was finished. Jeff won and only needed 1 point from the pole ault to win but our pole vaulters came thru for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and a tie for Sth giving Manual its most thrilling victory in years. CEE TRACK B Harry Longway Defeating Fremont, Jefferson, and Washington in the league meets and Uni- versity in a practice meet. Coach Armstrong ' s cee spikesters had plenty of cjuality but not enough quantit . Taking first place in the pole ault in all of the league meets, Natsumeda made the highest jum]3 of his oung career in the Southern League finals by clearing the height of ten feet two inches. Sta ing on Natsumeda ' s heels all the time was Howie who took a surprise second in the pole ault with a leap of ten feet. Natsumeda ' s brother, Cannonball, placed in the cee low hurdles last year. In the 120 vard low hurdles Karatsu and Crowlev were undefeated in league meets and were expected to take one, two in the Southern League finals. Karatsu ' s best time was 14.5, outstanding for Cees. In fact, it was better than the best effort of our Bees. Crowlc ' also ran the ccntur ' . High point man Ken Sar ak had the most success in doubling up. He was a consistent winner in the 660 yard run and the shot put. While battling it out with Ross he was defeated bv onlv one other man. He and Ross are expected to im- prove their best time of 1:35.0 and perhaps take at least one, three in the Southern League meet. Sarvak came through as an underdog in the Southern League to take a second in the shot with a put of 45 feet. Blume and Rose while not outstanding in the century were able to make the Southern League finals. Okuno was consistent in the fifty yard Swish, hitting 5.9 on occasions.

ATHLETICS 197 198 THEARTISANS ' 41 GREEK IMMIGRATION INTO THE UNITED STATES With the beginning of the second World War, a tremendous number of im- migrants from countries abroad had come to the Land of the Free. The most recent of these immigrants to America have been Greeks. It is estimated that there are now approximately 1,000,000 people of Greek descent and origin in the United States. Before 1890, there were less than 100. At the beginning of the 18th century, many of the Greeks went South where they became important in the tobacco industry because of their experience in the old conntr -. Their unskilled labor was also needed in the textile mills and the shoe factories of New England. Like many immigrants of other nationalities, the Greeks were and are, for the most part, a humble people. Today, a career of hard manual labor seldom employs a Greek for they are ambitious and clear thinking as well as far sighted. Therefore, the business thev usually enter is one of their own: restaurants, flower shops, confections, groceries, and fruit shops claim them. There are many Greek families in America whose members have distinguished themselves in the world of big business, in the newspaper and magazine business and in athletics. Their contributions as restauranteers, confectioners, manufacturers of fruit syrups, ice cream cones, sundaes, and special original food dishes ha e been numer- ous. Michael Agnos, a Greek, founded the Perkins Institute for the Blind, in Boston. The Greeks now comprise America ' s largest fraternal union, the Ahepa. It has its headquarters located in Washington and stands for Hellenism, the customs and values of Greece which it holds are verv much in harmon ' with the ideals of Amer- icanism. The Greeks in America and far across the sea, have shown to the world a dauntless courage, fighting for the rights of humanit - to exist. Their contributions and ideals ha ' e won them a place in American life and perhaps across the mighty ocean, the word Freedom will one day ring again.

On this sunnncr afternoon, 19-11 A.D., the Oljmipian class in winning its laurels at graduation. And as we stand here, diploma in hand, we cannot forget those same Hellenic heroes who lune left this heritage to an Olympian class— a name— and a spirit of victory! Semper vietores! — always victors! Truly wc did accept a challenge when we chose those words for own motto, and the Olympians, for our name. For both of these have come to us out of that misty and legendary past, from the Glor that was Greece. It is not a modern Greece wherein we may seek and find our legac -. Wreathed in clouds of mytiiologv. Mount Olympus does still stand— the home of the gods. Yet even Zeus must be alarmed at the havoc surrounding it today. The chaos which his thunderbolts have onee more wrought must even disturb this god of the gods. Therefore, to reach back into that dim past, when Zeus of Ancient Greece was not a myth, we must leave modern America. Through a maze of over two thousand vears of progress, we must make our way back to Ancient Hellas. It is not an easy journey. We must go be ' ond the birth of America, through the Renaissance, the Dark Ages, even beyond the birth of Europe. And finally we find that we have indeed returned to a Land of Yesterda . when Hellenic civilization was at its prime during the Golden Age of Pericles. We are in the streets of Ancient Athens. We see first the Parthenon, tem ple of Athena on the hill of the Acropolis; a thing of radiant beaut created bv the hand of Phidias. We see the mariners of Ancient Greece taking one last glance at the statue of the goddess of Athena, as they sail away into the Unknown. An still further in our wanderings over the fair face of Greece, we see Apollo pursuing his fleet-footed love, Daphne, through the forest glades where now there remains onlv a laurel tree in her memory. We hear Apollo in his unrequited love, saying: I take thee for my tree; Be thou the prize of honor and renown, The deathless poet and the poem crown. Thou shalt the Grecian festivals adorn And after poets, be by victors worn. And so, from the sacred tree of Apollo, we take our wreaths of laurel for the poet, musician and victor. But let us pass on. At the foot of Mount Parnassus we gaze in rapt attention on the temple of Apollo ' s oracle at Delphi. We see Socrates standing beside us looking not onh at the long, low, white structure, but at two words inscribed upon the stone. 202 THEARTISANS ' 41 Gnothi Seaiiton! — Know thyself! It was from tlicse words that the ancient pliilosoplier deri ed his first philosophy on the m ster that is life. Thcv arc a small part of the understanding that he dedicated to all philosophers for tlic times that were to come. And so we find that the culture, the mytliology, and the philosophy of Ancient Greece have not all died with the men who created them. We find the truth of a legacy which thc - ha c left to us. And Shelley has explained it to us in these words;— ' A ' e are all Greeks, our laws, our art, our religion, all have their root in Greece. And now we mav return through those same two tliousand years from this first democracy to perhaps— perhaps the last democracy. And we pay tribute to that free people who gave us our first ideals of freedom. It is a freedom that will live and die with us, but never part from us. Yet modern America possesses the same features that have made us glorify that other land. Let us gaze on the blue depths of that ocean to the west of us.

And in our hearts remains only a great wonder at The Glory that was Greece. So modern America exposes its sentiments toward an Ancient Greece with these few words of Byron : Cold is tlic heart, fair Greece, that looks on thee. Nor feels as lovers o ' er the dust the kned.

MANUAL ARTS DAILY Through the unfaltering and energetic work of the adviser, editor, and staff the Daily has successfully made its ' date-line eyery day. If the Daily failed to be FEATURES 205 pul)lislied for one day. its importance to campus life would be displayed and appre- ciated much more. During tlie Daih ' s life, it has learned much and instituted numerous improxements. With its increased experience, it has gained a wider in- fluence on student life. Minor contributions to tiie Daih box arc given as much consideration as the best work of special reporters. The four pages of the Daih contain the same things that are seen in the larger commercial papers, excluding ad ertising. This semester one editorial b - Pearl Finegold concerning professional journalism for the Daih was discussed. Some students contended that tiic Daily would be more so- phisticated if it accepted ad ertising. Others suggested that perhaps the Daily is will- ing to accept the implications that would arise from allowing lousiness men to liax ' e a finger in the nev ' spaper s policies. Out of the many important front page stories this semester, the two best were about the gold found at Exposition Park. This being current news and so close to the campus, it rated front page story. Not only for interest but also in cjuality. The other article, A. B. S. cabinet sponsors ' sports assembly in the gym, was excellent and had a two column headline. The second page of the Daily contains bulletins, announcements, schedule for the day, short articles and the editorials. For the Sports page, Pat ' s Fax, written by a girl, was one of the best columns printed. Pat co ered all sport news thoroughly, and included both boys ' and girls ' activities. Another article told of the Eagle Rock, Manual game, and received a two column spread. Also Predictin ' Pete, a similar column to Pat ' s Fax, gained acclaim. This write up, contained only boxs ' athletic events. The feature page is last but probabh ' commands more readers than all others. All types of short articles, jokes, gossip, cuts, cartoons, poems, and surveys appear here. The most popular columns are Rushes by Russell which reviews the latest movies and plays; also Dashes with Dot a column which contains gossip, jokes, and poems. The Daily begins to be born in the journalism classes and Daih ' office where the material to be printed, is written and edited. Then it is sent to the print shop by a cop - girl, where the time of receipt is marked, as the deadline for this cop is 12:05. It is then given to a linotyper who sets it up on the linotype machine. It is then ])roofed and the corrections reset. Then the t pe is placed in another galley which is larger than a regular page, allowing room for the make up men to work. A page is then made from a dummy. After this is printed, it is again proof-read for mistakes, the heads are written and the titles given. Then in the morning. Period A, the Daily is placed in a form. This form holds four pages and when all the pages are ready, it is locked up. Then the form is put on the press and all the actual printing is under way. The first Dailies as the - come off the press, are twice the size of the regular Dailies the students receive and are only printed on one side of the paper. At half time the press is stopped and last minute corrections are put in. The paper is turned around and printed on the other side. Upon completion the j apcr is cut in two an the Dailies are read - for the deliver}- boys to distribute to the second period classes. 206 THE ARTISAN S ' 41 PA ' IZCUARO By Jmnii Batkhul cr One of the most picturesque aud iu iting little towns we visited while in Mexico was the town of Patcuaro situated on the jade-green Lake Patzcuaro. This name is from the Indian word meaning The Place of Foundation for Temples. In pre-Spanish days Patzcuaro was the summer residence of the Tarascan royalty and even now is a summer resort for the middle-class Mexican people. This region is teeming with true nati e life and has not yet been spoiled by the Turista. Agriculture and fishing are the main means of support, but because of the great ciuantit ' of fish being taken out of the lake daily the fishing industry is de- creasing. One ' s isit could not be complete without a dinner of the white fish from Lake Patzcuaro, prepared in true native style. We reached the town in late afternoon and after settling oursel es at the hotel we took a turn about the lake. The lake, what we could see of it in the dusk, looked quite small and its sage-green waters were dotted with small islands. One in ])articular we recognized as Janitzio because of the statue of Morelos on its top. The lake was even more beautiful in the morning light, and denselv wooded hills rose from the shores. We hired a small boat and after several attempts at warming up the half frozen engine it gave a feeble sputter and a cough and started. The owner, all smiles, told us we could get in. The lake in the early morning was dotted with the bright colored sails of small native fishing boats. These are primitivelv made dugouts, and we could see some of the fishermen standing in their sturdy crafts slowly dragging in their heavy nets con- taining the straggling peseado bianco. f FEATURES 207 W ' c saw too, llic laiiious inaiiposas oi hullcifly nets, of l.akc Pat ciiavo. I ' hc picturesque fislieniieu of Lake Pat .euaio used dug-out canoes, paddles wliicli resemble huge lollypops, and butterfly nets whicli arc a study of graceful design, so sa s the book. We sav fishermen, but none of them using the mucli heard of nets. Our boatman paused in front of the smaller islands and seemed to be signal- ing to someone on its shore. Presently vc saw what looked to us like huge wasps come down a slope and out into the water. There they were those much used butterfly nets. Upon asking one of the fishermen if they were actually used he nodded and said they had been when the fish were plentiful in the lake, but now, the ' are kept just for the tourists. Our little boat chugged on, bringing us nearer and nearer to our destination, the fascinating island of Janitzio. We were told it is the most important of the islands and it looked like a charming spot, with its glistening white houses all but hidden by the green of the trees and the golden-brown of the rocks. Scanning this picturcsc|uc little island we noticed a black hole in the side of the hill which looked somewhat like the mouth of some huge monster of ancient Mcxio. Immediately we wanted to explore the cave, as kids usually do. This cave as once the shrine of the Tarascan gods when pagan worship was prohibited by the monks, and anyone caught practicing it was punished by death. There have been some idols found in this cave but because of the bats, snakes and other pests white men do not care to go too far back into its inky depths. Because of the bats and serpents the Indians believe the gods have not abandoned their shrine. This little island was just buzzing with native life when we landed, women in their ga - colored skirts and colorful handmade blouses were scrubbing their week ' s washing to a pulp, old men in white pants and siiirts were sitting in the sun mending the much used nets, other women were cooking, and very much out of place was a woman sewing on a portable sewing machine. Climbing higher in the cobbled streets we saw some ])eoplc chopping wood, another woman was combing her daughter ' s hair. The ]Kople were preparing for a feast that evening and a freshly killed pig was being made rcadx for the event. The men had evidently stabbed it in the heart for the hole was ]5lugged with a corn cob. With their shar|) knives the men were cutting awa the bristles. After this tedious ordeal they soaped the glistening white skin well, using rough stones to scrub it thoroughly. They dashed cold water upon the lathered skin, turned the pig over and proceded again. Still others were cutting square blocks out of the soil and some were making a wall of this adobe. We visited the only church on the island. The congregation stand or kneel on the cold tile floor as there are no seats upon which to sit. There were the usual gruesome saints with their martyred faces and gaudy colored robes. The church had a musty odor about it, as indeed all Mexican churches do, which mingled with the smell of freshly picked flowers. As it was getting time for lunch we made our way back among the maze of cobbled paths to our little boat, and bade farewell to the gem of Lake Patzcuaro. 208 THE ARTISAN S ' 41 AlllISAN rilO ' lOGRAPIlY STAFF Tlic Artisan Pliotograph - staff was: Arniond Guinn.

And the life of a c nic. . . . ? There was once a man called Diogenes the Cynic — he was the most famous of the c nic philosophers. By day Diogenes walked the streets of Athens bare- footed, witliout an coat, with a long beard, a stick in his hand, and a wallet slung over his shoulder—like a hobo. At night he crept into a tub belonging to the temple of Cybelc. One da he dcstro ed a single wooden bowl he possessed— because he saw a little bo drinking water from the iiollow of his hand. An unnecessary article is not worth keeping, he said. He would never forgive a man or woman for any of their follies. In his barefooted form, he would stand in the public places of the eit and ridicule them. His satire and iron were taken with pleasure by the upper classes who tried to match w its witii him, and who had recourse to abuse when they finalh felt his superiority. Life went on, and so did Diogenes. One morning the sun was shining brightly over Athens. Diogenes awoke and stepped from his tub bed. A few moments later, people awoke in Athens to find him walking the streets blinded with sunshine, holding a lighted lantern in his hand. He must be sleep-walking, said one. No, he does so manv queer things, )Ou really can ' t say. This nuist be one of them, said another. Upon looking closely, one could see that he was fully awake— but he was search- ing— ves, searching, and searching with his uncannily sharp e es. What are vou about now, asked one who was bold enough to ask. And with a sneer, Diogenes answered him. I am looking . . .looking for an honest man. And for years he went on searching.

At the door way of the Aegean Sea lies a land of wealth and beauty which Homer speaks of. It rises out of the sea among a group of islands like dev ' sparkling in the sunshine. Buried deep m these bejewclcd islands was a ci ' ili2ation so old and yet so cultured as to startle the world. But it was not until the ninteenth century that such a discovery was made. It all began in the mind of a little boy, Henry Schliemann, who loyed to hear Homer ' s tales of the siege of Troy. He belieyed that those walls were still stand- ing and that if he dug do yn far enough, he would find them. Years passed before he could accomplish his heart ' s desire and dig up city after city buried one below the other. The excayation of Troy led to Mycenae and otiier places nearby, which eventually led to the excavation of Crete. Crete— the land where gods were born, a land rich in legends and myths, and a land where fairy tales have come true— was discovered to be the center of the eadiest European culture. Traces of this culture were found in Greek, Roman, and Egyptian life, dimly, yes, but definitely. History of this land takes us back to 2500 B.C., but Crete was not at the height of her Golden Age until a thousand years later. Thus, the culture of Crete is as old to Greece as Greece ' s culture seems to us. Buried beneath a mound of centuries, Crete burst upon a startled world to present her civilization in 1878. Life in Crete must have been a happy one for no towers or fortifications were found in their cities. True they were the first mighty sea power, but they did not maintain them for military and naval ad cnture. They were interested only m trade, industry, and art. Crete became a commercial center in her trade with Egypt. Industry was carried on by hand. Clothing, furniture and food were all made by hand. Beauti- fully embroidered dresses and foot coverings were common and household utensils were by no means primitive. Reliefs, vases, and paintings were beautiful, and they relate to us the religion, work, and entertainment of the Cretans. All the arts were brought together to build the palaces found in Crete— palaces built for people who knew and enjoyed comfort. B ut, what surprised the world most was the ex- cellent drainage system which is superior to anything else of its kind in antiquity. In fact, Crete and its culture were startling in every respect. After the Golden Age of Crete came destruction— almost a complete destruc- tion. The beautiful Cretan palaces were never rebuilt. The sites became more and more desolate until at length the ruins were completely hidden. Crete was only a tradition for long centuries, but now it has again blossomed forth from the dreary mounds.
