O. T. C. Drama and Music Athletics School Life Features Humor K TT FOREWORD By Sam Borevitz We of the Winter ' 36 Class live in the most marvelous universe known to man. For a million years and more, men have Ijeen slowly work- ing their way up from the life of caves, cannibalism, and ceaseless murder toward that civili zation in which we live today. We live in the light of opportunity, where man is being worthwhile, with faculties and powers amazing. He contemplates and explores the universe, weighs the sun, moon, and the stars, controls the earth, sends his voice around it in the fraction of a second, travels over it, on the surface, under the water, high in the air. He has accomplished wonderful things, and we the Futurists, the men and women of tomorrow, will endeavor to j accomplish things infinitely greater. But behind the young graduate sits a solemn and gloomy array of un- pleasant facts and conditions. While he looks on to the future, there lies be- hind him, the everlasting threat of war that may upset the best of plans and take him from world conquest to sit in muddy trenches and let him pass on to oblivion. There are many other obstacles in this world that face each graduate who is so eager, so hopeful, so pathetically certain that theory and school training can overcome all difficulties and that it will be simple to go traight out and conquer it. But the graduate coming out to face and con- quer the world will find out that ignorance is in his way. He, believing he has knowledge, anticipates an easy victory, but unfortunately not all knowledge is found in books. The greater part of knowledge lies in experi- ence and information, which means knowledge that is actually your own, acquired by you in the school life. There also lies another obstacle before the path of the graduate which should be overcome immediately. This is uncertainty, an unpleasant representative of doubt, vacillation, and mental timidity that nullifies the usefulness of a good brain. We the class of W ' 36, The Futurists, about to begin the fight to achieve success and make a new world today realize the difficult battle which we face, but since we are made of the right mental and moral material, possessing ambition, courage, and good intentions shall, in the end, overcome all obstacles and make this world which we live in today a better one. ] ARTISAN STAFF William C.

Z] 12 T H E A R T I S A N W 36 THE FUTURISTS, THE LEADERS OF TOMORROW By Sam Borevitz In times of social and economic changes, disturbance and distress, it is necessary that there be leaders to meet the contemporary problems. The leaders who succeed are those who are best able to turn their achievements into human improvement. Almost everything we do or use is an invention which was created sometime or other by our leaders. In a broad sense, leadership includes inventing, discovering, prophesying, organizing and directing social forces. Let us consider some of the qualities or requirements of leadership and see how they are obtained. Leadership in most cases arises from one ' s personality and his initiative to use and develop it. However there are many different types of leaders as every person possesses by birth some characteristics which distinguish him from every one else. It is this margin of uniqueness which makes each individual a potential leader. This margin gives every person a field of development and activity in which no one else can com- pete with him. In this non-competitive phase of personality there is un- limited room for self-expression, invention, and leadership. Out of this margin individuality develops. Thus every person builds up a point of view which is distinctly his own, which sets him off from his fellows, and which is the essence of originality, a quality of leadership. The successful leader must also possess the ability of having faith in his own powers. He must be a master of himself before he can main- tain the esteem and loyalty of others. He who enjoys this loyalty from society commands .social ])ower. Under all conditions the most effective and successful leader is the one who is best able to solve our problems so that they will meet the needs of society. Society, however, must provide each generation with an environment in which problem-solving ability may have ample opportunities for unfolding. During the three years while at Manual, the Futurists have enjoyed an environment which any leader can be proud of. Having taken advantage of this environment, the Futurists, will enter this complex world of ours with the confidence and determination necessary to solve our social and economic jjroblems. 14 THE ARTISAN W ' 36 ' W - SENIOR A CABINET 1)11.1.

CLASS YELL F — U — T — U — R — I — STS Futurists, Futurists FU— TUR— ISTS CLASS COLORS Royal Blue and Grey CLASS MOTTO Faith in the Future SENIORS 47 CLASS HISTORY By Virgima Rickard Herein is set forth the history of the Futurist Class. An undaunted class in every way, we set out in our BIO term to conquer the obstacles and joys associated with high school life, truly a life worth living. We arrived at Manual Arts High School in February, 1933 fired with a burning desire and urge for further and advanced learning. On March 10, 1933 the greatest earthquake we have ever known, struck us. It was just after the first track meet and the last for that term at Manual. After the earthquake we were a house divided. The upper classmen went to James Foshay while the Scrubs and AlO class migrated to Auduljon. On account of this arrangement our early school life was not quite as eventful as was anticipated. However, after being reestablished at Manual Arts in bungalows a new Manual spirit developed. Already members of our class were becoming prominent al)out school. Robert Houlsby, Bill McBurnie. Ray Bilson, Fred Kennedy were but a few of our class to gain entrance into that exclusive boys ' organization, the Manual Squires. Not to be outdone by the boys, the girls entered into various activities — scholastic and athletic. Our A 1 1 term ended with English and civics exams and we were ready to enter into our final and most eventful year at Manual Arts. Senior B In February, 1935, after being permanently situated in English Hall in Room 265 we started seriously thinking about class affairs. After a very close race we elected Bill McBurnie to guide us through our Senior B term as prexy. Elsie Rethy and Fred Kennedy as our vice-presidents, Jack Sexton was entrusted with our money affairs, and Elsie Mae Stevens was elected our very efficient secretary. Under the able sponsorship of our advisers ; Mr. Turnciuist, Mr. Moore, Miss Lockwood, Miss Blythe, Miss Jones and with the assistance of the Senior B Cabinet we launched a campaign to try to defeat the mighty Vikings on Senior Day. We chose blue and gray for our class colors. Our motto was to be Faith in the Future. On Senior Day, out of the five events we lost five. But we showed our Faith in the Future and went to the Senior Prom with a feeling that maybe when we were seniors we too could trounce the B12 s to the tune of five to nothing. Soon after Adelphic Day came the very successful Senior B picnic 48 T H E A R T I S A N W 36 at South Park. We had all the hot dogs and ice cream available, baseball and all sorts of kid games prevailed for that day. Bob Houlsby was so intent on making a home run in the baseball game that he split one of the school ' s bats. The ne.xt big event in our lives was the Senior B dance, April 26, 1935. It was held in Foster Gym and Hat Hatfield ' s orchestra supplied the music. During this semester many of our students were making a name for themselves in track ; King McPherson and Jim McDaniels in the high jump. Bob Cushnie and also McDaniels in the sprints, Fred Coelen and Tom Covington in the hurdles, while Charles Plumley captured many laurels in the pole-vault. Soon came the time to vote for our next term ' s student body officers. Fred Kennedy was elected S. B. O. president ; Fred Coelen and La Nelle Cain became our boys ' and girls ' vice-presidents. Dorothea Bullock and Howard Dev became the self-goverment heads. Mary Zertuche and Bill Engel took over the administration of justice for the coming term. A ' { - iiam Starrett became scholarship president. Jack Sexton our manager. Elsie Mae Stevens was unanimously chosen secretary. The offices of A.B.S. prexy. went to Jack Livingston, Girls ' League president, to June Box, Daily editorship, to Roland Andelson, Cadet Major, to Don Wick- lander. Senior A Thus with the coming summer vacation our term as Senior B ' s was swiftly drawing to a close. In most everyone ' s opinion the Senior B term was in many instances a very successful one. We came back from our vacations with a new vim and vigor and set right about the ta.sk of electing our officers for the coming term. Those elected to guide us in our Senior A term were. Bill IcBurnie, prexy, Elsie Rethy and Bob Walters, our vice-presidents, Virginia Richard, secretary. Jack Tolbert, trea.surer, Bill Hamel, Artisan editor, and Bob Carlstrand, yell leader. ( )ur Senior . Picnic at South Park was twice as good as our Senior B (jne. A good jjrogram of games and entertainment and plenty of food all went to make the picnic a howling success. In ;ill too ra])id .succession followed Adeljjhic Day. The baby Seniors were officially presented to the student liody. They looked verv attractive in their yellow and white sweaters and thev chose for their class name the Cadets. The social season brought us the Senior Prom on January 16 and the -Senior Rcceptifni. SENIORS 49 Soon football season was over, then basketball, then tennis. Then we realized that the end of our happy school days was drawing close at hand. Every homeroom period found us practicing in earnest the songs we were to sing at graduation. (Jur commencement speakers were chosen and grad- uation practice was in full swing. Graduation night came and we marched out with our diplomas, sing- ing the traditional Kipling ' s Recessional and our Alma Mater. As we leave the halls of Manual, we hope that the classes that follow us will profit by our successes and mistakes, and always keep their Faith in the Future. WINTER By Margaret Worth The trees are old tonight. They lift their trembling arms Against the sunset fire, A flame that never warms. The fog slips in and folds fl Them in its ragged shawls. They huddle close and tell Old tales as darkness falls. I remember summer nights When they were young and fair A ' ith flowers at their feet And stars pinned in their hair. I turn and run to warm My heart against the cold .... I need not know this sorrow Until I too am old. 50 T H E A R T I S A N W 36 THE NECESSITY OF ORGANIZATION By Sam Borevitz Upon graduating from high school, each student taccs the problem of making a living. Several centuries ago youth did not worry about this important problem which we face to-day, as were a nation of farmers and each person was his own boss. Work was done largely by hand and practically everyone was a jack of all trades. Business transactions were carried on so simply and directly that it did not require many organiza- tions to control them and everyone understood the system without dif- ficultv. However, today conditions are entirely different. Less than one- fourth of our working population is on farms. Most of our population is working in the industries of our big cities and is employed b - city merchants and capitalists. Business is now done on a large scale and has become so complex and complicated, and its control has been so far re- moved from the average individual, that today there are very few who are capable of fully understanding the system. Organizations, as a con- sequence, have become so important that they are playing the larger role in our governinent. No matter what we do, individually or unitedly, it recjuires organiza- tion. It is the fundamental factor in the success of any activity in which we engage. In any field of industry or business which the graduate de- sires to enter, organization of that industry or business has raised its standards and efficiency so that one would only ha e to work a few hours a day — if everyone was working — to make a comfortable living. However, we have not yet been able to organize labor and capital so that this condition may exist. To think for one ' s self is the fundamental quality that one must possess in order to organize. Inability, however, is due to mental laziness. The ability to think must be attained by the younger generation if we are to avoid the tragedies of another depression, with millions of fam- ilies barely existing. There must be some sort or organization to stabilize business. Economic planning and government participation seem essential. To this challenging task of refashioning an economy that now needs revision, the Futurists will endeavor to bring a vision of larger justice and the sjjirit of true Americanism to societv. 52 THEARTISANW ' 36 PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE You no doubt chose your name deliberately and ' after full consider- ation. Futurism may be defined as a radical movement in Art. Music, and Literature. It is characterized by emphatic rejection of tradition and con- vention and bv the emphasis on the free, personal expression of the dy- namic energy and movement inherent in life today. It began its spectacu- lar career in Italy, about 1910. As far as this class is concerned, Futurism began with the violent earthquake of ] Iarch 10. 1933. You had been installed in our old high school buildings, with their old traditions, only one month, when you were violently erujited into the junior high schools from which some of you had come. Later on, amid the pell-mell and confusion of bungalows arriving in topsy-turvy fashion, you came back to the Manual Arts High School Campus. Here, you spent two and one-half years amid the scenes of destruction of our old buildings and the gradual evolution of our new buildings which must appear to you as a promised land that your suc- cessors will ocupy. No wonder that you are Futurists. We have heard Futuristic Music and tried to appreciate Futuristic Literature. ' hat we can most easily visualize, however, is Futuristic Art. We ma - not be able to understand it. Those who do understand Futuristic Art. see in it the most beautiful evokuion of form and thought. That is the task before you — to make cosmos out of chaos — to so order the fragments of your personal exj eriences that they shall result in beauty and solidity of character and that you shall contribute to an or- derly environment in home, community, and state, of which you are an important, component part. Albert F. Wilson. ORGANIZATIONS 53 Albert E. Wilson, Pkincipal 54 THEARTISANW ' 36 VICE PRINCIPALS ' MESSAGES Happy Students of the Futurist Class : Be alert to your advantages in these fast-moving days. Even though you are through with secondary schooling, do not fail to educate your- selves through the many additional avenues at your command. Well rounded twentieth century living should mean a more active participation in the privileges of citizenship, and a more creative use of leisure time together with more thoughtful study on the prohlems of eco- nomic welfare. Jessie Ray Hanna. To the Futurists : You are to he congratulated on having arrived at one of the i)rominent mile stones in your journey through life. Your acceptance, as a gift from your ]iarents and from the public, of the training you have had during your school days, has placed an obligation upon you to meet certain re- s];onsihilities. If you have taken your schooling seriously, you have established the beginning of a life philosophy, you have learned how to analyze a given set of conditions in order to form an intelligent opinion, you have to learned how to work alone and with others, you have some knowledge of literature, of science, and in some cases, of the fine arts. What use will you make of these abilities? What return can you make to society for their development? If, as the years pass, you can ha ' e the assurance that humanity is better because of your training, then you tniy know that you have met successfully the responsibilities placed upon you. C. P. Fonda. ORGANIZATIONS 55 Jessie Rav H - nna Girls ' Vice Principal C.P. Fonda Boys ' Vice Principal THE ARTISAN W 36 PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE We, the Futurist Class of Winter 36, are leaving Manual Arts with the realization that no matter into what walk of life we go, we will always look back on our high school days as those in which we were happiest. You, the Student Body of Manual Arts, can visualize a parade with Manual ' s customs and traditions foremost, then the new buildings, and last l)ut not least, 3300 students embodied with a school spirit the like of which has not Jieen rivaled in many a year. They are all entering a new era to make a new Manual. In this wonderful environment, you can accom- plish anything and everything if you have the will to try, and 1 know you do have that will ! . ' ' ' It Can Be Done! This is the motto that has echoed through the buildings of our school since it began, and let us keep it in the future. Our spirit, our good sportmanship, our scholarship have a national reputation as being of the best. Friendships created here are lasting and dee]), and Manual, will you remember that the friendship between us will be one which we shall carry with us the rest of our lives. Fkicdkjck C. Kennedy, S.

Treasurer ORGANIZATIONS 67 MANUAL KNIGHTS An entirely new method of electing the Knights was inaugurated this term h - Dr. Wilson. This method made the election to the knights en- tirely automatic. The ones eligible for this organization are : Student body president, boys vice-president, boys ' judge, boys ' self- government president, A.B.S. president, scholarship president (if a boy), Daily editor (if a boy). Senior Aye president. Senior Bee president, presi- dent Merit Board, president Aeolian Club, president Senior Forum, Ma- jor R.O.T.C., three company commanders R.O.T.C., president Big M Society, and several prominent members of the Manual Squires. While the method of electing members has changed, the purpose is still the same. The Manual Arts Knights are organized for the purpose of creating and maintaining a high standard of school spirit, acting as a ser- vice organizations, and to develop a genuine self-government among the undergraduates at Manual. 68 THE ARTISAN W 36 MANUAL SQUIRES It is written in the Squire Constitution, The purpose of this club shall he; to develop character and leadership, to promote good citizenship, to he of service to Manual Arts, and to work at all times for its best interest. Every Squire has pledged himself to uphold these high standards. The club has enjoyed a successful term under the following capable officers: Ray Bilson, president; Bob Houlsby, vice-president; Byron Pederson, secretary ; Jim Slatter, treasurer ; Rex Thomas, sergeant-at- arms ; adviser, Mr. Hodge. ORGAXIZ-AJi f S • ' 69 AlAXUAL ARTS TRI-Y The Tri-Y organization of Manual Arts is e-xcli;sively for girls. The aim of the Tri-Y is to create a higher and finer type of girl for Manual Arts and unit all Manual girls in a greater spirit of friendship, so as to develop worthwhile character and personality. Above all, we try to render service to our school and community. Our theme for the term was The Modern Girl and Her Problems. Ve feel that each and every girl has profited by this theme. The club boasted of forty active members, all of whom were out- standing in school activities, and they are all worthy of j raise for their cooperation and initiative. The Tri-Y enjoyed a successful term under the following capable officers: Priscilla Borski. president; Margie Robey. vice-president; Jean Smith, secretary ; Irma Rethy. treasurer. Special mention is due to IVIiss Swerdfeger. faculty adviser, and the outgoing seniors for their kind and helpful assistance. 70 THE ARTISAN W 36 THE BOYS ' COURT The aim of the bo}-s ' court of Manual Arts is to give fair and just decisions and never to allow friends or personal interest to enter into the decisions. Violators of school laws are summoned before the court, tried and sentenced. Students of Manual are asked to co-o]:)erate with the court and resi)ect its decisions. This is your court and it is ])]erlged to do the best for you. The court officers are: Bill Engel, judge; Sam Borevitz, clerk; Bill Overlin, bailiff; Marvin Katzman .sergeant-at-arms ; Bernard Trabin, pr(_)secuting attorne_ ' ; Howard Morrissey, defense attorney. THE GIRLS ' COURT The girls ' court and the girls ' self government work hand in hand to make Manual .- rts a school where self government is the force that rules the student body. This is a great experience in citizenship and demo- cracy for the girls and constitutes a real privilege of which the entire student body is very proud. It consists of the judge who has tlu ' final and deciding word in all cases; a clerk, a bailiff, a sergeant-at-arms, a ])rosecuting attorney, and a district attorney. These offices for this semester have been held respec- ti ' ely by the folhjwing girls: Mary Zertuche, Mar - Sbelton, Audrev Mae i ' iliot, Betty Raich, Catherine Rinkel, Mary ilorales. Selma [oidcl, Marie Stimis and Bettie Earle Hawlev. ORGANIZATIONS 71 THE MERIT BOARD When a Manual student has difficulty in adjusting himself to the rules and regulations of the school, he is summoned to appear before the Merit Board for a diagnosis of his case and a prescription to prevent a recu-rrence of his trouble. As a rule the cause of his maladjustment to his school enviroment is found to tie in a thoughtless attitude toward the problem of his own best development along the lines of character and scholarship. The Girls ' Merit Board is composed of La Nelle Cain, chairman ; Elsie Rethy ; and Elizabeth Clark. The members of the Boys ' Merit Board are Bill McBurnie. chairman ; and Byron Pederson. THE TARDY BOARD The Girls ' and Boys ' Tardy Boards are organized to eliminate as much tardiness as possible. Habitually tardy students are interviewed by the Boards, the cause and a way of correcting the tardiness is sought. The presidents also keep accurate records of every unexcused tardiness during the term. The members of the Girls ' Tardy Board are : Margie Fuller, presi- dent ; Margaret Ingold, viee-president ; Edith Elarvey, secretary ; Dorothea Bullock and Mary Zertuche are honorary members. The Boys ' Tardy Board consists of Howard Morrissey, president ; Dick Dotigherty, vice-president ; Byron Pederson, Bill Engel and Howard Dcy are honorary memljers. 72 THE ARTISAN W 36 -i ' ,R G A X I Z A T I O X S 73 SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY The limerian Society under the leadership of Bill Starrett has lade this semester one of the most outstanding in its exislence. Created n October 25. 1921, this organization has been steadily growing until uring its ' 36 term it has a membership of 56 boys and 94 girls. Twelve students from the Futurist class were candidates for gold sal honors and life membersliip in the California Scholarship Federa- on. The Mimerians began the school social season on October 25 with le first evening dance of the semester. This affair celebrating the socie- y ' s fourteenth anniversary, u-ed Hallowe ' en as motif, and was declared huge success by all who attended. Junior Scholarship Society members under the sup2rvision of Eliza- eth Clark had their semi-annral party on the afternoon of X ovember 7. Scholarship A ' eek was observed throughout the school during the I ' eek of December 2. to December 6. A supplement to the Dcily was pub- ished; posters were placed around the campus: and speakers were sent t no homerooms to gain their interests in scholarship and the motto. Scholarship for service. The cabinet for the semester was composed of Bill Starrett. pre-i- [lent; Elizabeth Clark, girls ' vice-president; James Roberts, boys ' vice- resident ; Rosemary Fleming, secretary ; Bob Brown, treasurer ; and Miss 5prenger. faculty adviser. 74 THE ARTISAN W ' 36 MANUAL ARTS DEBATE SQUAD The Manual Arts Debate Squad, having become enriched with the greatest number of feminine members for the past several years, although, as usual, dominated by the masculine sex, made its 1935 debut under the guidance of the jovial Mr. Moore. With this well-balanced variety of debaters a successful term was inevitable. At mid-term the two questions that had iieen debated were, Con- gressional Review of Supreme Court Decisions and Socialized Medi- cine. Manual Arts, being a member of the Southern California Debate League consisting of fourteen schools, met Hollywood in its first league debate on the Congress question. Lloyd Summerhays and Bob Vancott U]jholding the negative for Manual lost by a slight margin. ( )ther members who debated on this question were: Sam Borevitz, Harry Andow, Harry Cornell, (jeralcl Patrick, ISob Egan, Alex Robertson, Howard Bergherm, Kiml)all Moore, Joe Simpson, Jim Roberts. Jack Livingston, Morris Kawi n, and Robert McGready. A debate tournament was held on the socialized medicine question witli i ' ranklin, November 21, at Manual. Both schools had four teams, two on the affirmative and two on the negative. Manual was represented by Lester (irossman, Ik-tty Wilcox, Priscilla Broski, Evelyn Zimmerman, Mary Louise Torchia. Lyman LaTourrette, Gail Martin, Lois Hoeger- man, Jane Manks, Don Doyle, Bernard Trabin, and Bruce Kurrle. The rc ])onsibility of managing and arranging the debates fell on the shoulders of Sam I ' orevitz, manager; Lester Grossman, assistant manager; I ' ob ancoit, cajjlain ; and last but not least our coach Mr. Guy C. Moore. ORGANIZATIONS 75 ' sMsvii sxssi i!!ssii.i iitfMiiiuamat!t JUNIOR FORUM The Junior Forum is an organization to create interest in world affairs and to better public speaking and self expression. It is one of the foremost clubs of Manual Arts and has produced the great majority of the school leaders. The Forum membership is composed of tenth graders and ' B ' elevens who are interested in this type of work. Members are selected by tryouts which are held at the beginning of each semester. The majority of those chosen are students who show ability and interest. However, some whom the Forum believe they can aid are accepted. During the term debates, panel discussion on current topics and a declamation contest were held. The semester ' s activities began with an introduction social. The season was climaxed by a party held at Expo- sition Park. The Junior Forum was very fortunate to have a very ca])able set of cabinet members. They were : Jack Carlow, president ; Philip Hurst, boys ' vice-president; Goldie Futoran, secretary; Virginia Snyder, treas- urer, Stella Handleman. This was under the capable super ' ision of Miss Johnson. Tlie Senior Forum, one of the most select groups at Manual, once more turned out its quota of forsenic artists, this term. Memhership iiii the Senior Forum is open only to upper grade students who in compe tive tr_vouts at the beginning of the term illustrate their powers as oratori Beginning the term the Forum had a get-together party, and the; began in its speech activities, which included debates, open forum discus- sions, panel discussions, an extemporaneous contest, a declamation contest,) and outside speakers. A semi-annual banquet at the end concluded the term. I The most iinijortant event of the term was the declamation contest. ' It was open to the entire school. Each contestant delivered a memorized selection, and the winner, judged by his interpre ' .ation, was presented, ' with a silver cup at the installation banquet. j At the Senior Forum, just as in the original Athenian forum from which this organization derives its name, one may hear discussed alniosti every problem confronting mankind, from the most personal ones toj those affecting the entire world. , The officers this term were : Bob Houlsby. president ; Betty Haw- ley, girls ' vice-president; Jimmy Roberts, boys vice-president; Elsie Mae; Stevens, secretary; Margie Fuller, sergeant-at-arms ; and Harriet Tern- pier, publicity manager. Mr. Moore was the sponsor. ORGANIZATIONS 77 WORLD FRIENDSHIP Beginning its activities for the first term as a regular ] Ianual club, the World Friendship Club made history this term under the direction of Harry Williams, president. Heretofore the organization comprised the entire school and held monthly meetings in ' ' The Little Theatre. This term it held weekly meet- ings besides its monthly gatherings. The World Friendship Club, as its name signifies, has as its main purpose, the fostering of world friendship. In its weekly meeting it discusses means for attaining this end, and the monthly ]:)rogram in- troduces the idea to the student body. Manual ' s World Friendship Club is part of the state-wide World Friendship Club seeking for peace. Officers this term were : Harry Williams, president : John Hold- space, vice-president: Mary Holdspace. secretary; lorris Kawin. pro- gram chairman ; and Harriet Templer. publicity manager. 78 THE ARTISAN W 36 CHARACTER CITIZENSHIP BOARD ' l he character-citizen-shi]) joapH plays an essential and important part in the organization of the student body. It was created for the purpose of encouraging the best in students for receiving character-citizenship citations, those worthy students are granted certificates at graduation. These graduates must ])e outstanding in five of the following: cooperation, dependability, sportsmanship, self- reliance .self-government, changed attitude, leadershi]), intitive. honesty, service, industry, courtesy.

Today, instead of labor being the domi- nant part or a one ' s life, it is leisure. Achievements in transportation and communication have enabled us to roam far afield for our recreation. One outstanding development growing directly out of the rise of the modern citv and the increasing freedom of movement which city life affords, has been the amazing growth of commercialized amusements. X ' audeville and burlesque shows, cabarets and night clubs, dance halls, race tracks and amusement parks were some of the first methods used for the exploiting of leisure and financial profit. Baseball, football, swimming pools and other athletic games are more recent developments of commercialized recreation. Towering above all other forms of commercial amusements stand the motion picture and the radio, both products of our cotmtry. The motion I)ictures and radio represent two of the most powerful business monopo- lies of our generation. Both are planned for the primary reason of get- ting the people ' s money rather than giving them comfort. Xot only do we have this connnercialized amusement and recreation on which we spend our leisure, but we have the more cultivated uses of leisure represented in arts, including the art of conversation, [lainting, sculpture, music, literature, dramatics, and the discussion of current social issues. ( )ur school clubs, where many of us spend our leisure time, are excellent examples of this type of recreation. The Senior Forum, Aeolian Club, Stamj) Caib, Chemistry Club, Graphic Arts Club, and others are a few of the different types of clubs at our school. Every student. ' ui)on entering Manual Arts, should make it his or her duty to join one (jf the school clubs, for no better way in which to spend leisure time will be found. The most important duty of every student is to learn how to occupy his leisure time to the best advantage, for in the years that lie immediately ahead, more than ever before, a person will he jnclged bv the way in which he uses his free time. 82 T H E A R T I S A N W 36 CLUBS AND OFFICERS COUNCIL Fred Kennedy, president; Fred Coelen, vice-president; Elsie Mae, Stevens, secretaiy ; Jack Sexton, treasurer ; Dr. ilson. adviser.

Included in these were the auctions, reports of specialists on various countries, talks by members of the Exposition Stamp Club, and many other interesting features. The club was ably sponsored by Mr. LaTourrette, faculty adviser this past term, and in the cabinet were : Clinton Jordan, president ; Dorothy Booth, vice-president ; Goldie Futoran, secretary ; Preston Teasdale, treas- urer; and Robert Formhals, reporter. THE CHEMISTRY CLUB The Chemistry Club is one of the most interesting clubs in the school. Lack of time prevents the performance of many experiments in class, so these are done by members of the club at the well attended meetings. One meeting a semester is put aside for physics experiments in or- der that those taking chemistry may become interested along scientific lines and continue their study in this field. Students of the graduating class, who have made an honor project, present their project before the club. The officers of the club are : Homer White, president ; Jean Alorgan, secretary; and Kimble Moore, treasurer. THE LATIN CLUB Adeste Fideles! All members of the Contio. heeding these well known Latin words, kept faith with the study of Latin and gave the club their full supjiort during the term. The activities of the Contio were directed by the following officers: Consul, Virgina Stockwell ; praetor, Paul Abrams ; quaestor, James Jomes ; centurio. Jack Hastings. Programs of the term included: A welcome to the BIO students, a program of a patriotic nature ; one presented by AlO students, featuring a talk on the Italy-Ethiopia situation ; a program showing that Latin is not a lingua mortua, and one at which we were honored to have Dr. Wilson as guest speaker. On December the sixth, two days before the anniversary of the great Roman poet, Horace, the Contio celebrated the Horatium Bimillenium by presenting another program in his honor. The outstanding accomplishment of the term was the third edition of the Latinus Tribunus, the Latin department ' s supplement to the Daily, sponsored by the third and fourth year classes. This edition was dedicated to Horace, honoring his two thousandth anniversary. The Latin Club extends best wishes to you for success in the future and suggests these words of the famous Horace as your motto — Carte diem. CLUBS 91 THE SPECTATOR The literary supplement to the Daily had an eminent!} ' successful season. Although only five issues of the Spectator were presented, they all reached a new high hoth in content and artistic make-up. Under the guiding hand of Harriet Templer, editor-in-chief, much was doiie to encourage the budding literary genius of Manual. Spectator meetings were opened to the student bod ' , and material submitted to the Spectator was read and criticised at the meetings. Toward the end of the semester Harriet also took and active part in the mechanical work on the paper. The assistant editors were Pearl Jackson and Arthur Joquel. Pearl worked on the literary end of the publication, while Arthur controlled the mechanical division, and displayed a gift for composition and make- up that made for balance and attractiveness, adding much to the appear- ance of the printed page. These two staff members also edited the first issue, which appeared before the editor was chosen. The other members of the editorial stai¥ were ; Adella Ganahl, asso- ciate editor ; and Joan Goodnow and Margaret Worth, contribution managers. The Christmas edition, which was tops for the semester, pre- sented two full-length features, Youth Takes the Reins by Kimball Moore, a condensation of his prize essay on profit in war, and The Black Circle by Gilbert Steed, a ghost story with a psychological background. Altogether, the Spectator this semester set a level that future stafifs will have to aim high to reach. ' to ' GRAPHIC ARTS CLUB Despite the fact that it has only been organized for three semesters, the Graphic Arts Club is one of the most active organizations at Manual. With a membership of approximately thirty, never a month passes hut that some activity is engaged in. This semester several trips were made, one to the Pacific Library Binding Company, where the group saw library bookbinding done on a commercial sca ' e. Another trip was made to the Adcraft Engraving plant. The Graphic Arts supplement to the Daily was also issued, with Arthur Joquel as editor and Howard Burtt as assistant. The officers for the past semester were: Howard Burtt, president; Bill Hamel, vice-president ; Arthur Joquel, secretary-treasurer ; and Paul Austin, sergeant-at-arms. Mr. Reader is the adviser. 92 T H E A R T I S A N W ' 36 WORDS By Margaret ' orth In all worlds on worlds God never made a thing More wonderful than words.

K 94 T H E A R T I S A N W ' 36 OLD DAD COLLECTS By Lola Munroe Is this here hank the one that Mr. Shehon keeps all his money in? J. P. Montgomery looked up from an account he was checknig and rublied his eyes. Am I really seeing this? he asked in an aside to his secretary who was putting away papers in the file. Carry on, she warned him. Hetty Green was no fashion plate. J. P. turned again to the window. He saw a little man of about sixty years who was dressed in a blue chambry shirt and a pair of faded blue jeans. From under his black shaggy eyebrows peeped a pair of bright blue eyes. His hair was beginning to grey a little at the temples. His smile was so kind and pleasant that the secretary, Sally Holman, felt in- stantly in sympathy with him. j We have a great many Sheltons among our depositors, but of j course we can ' t give out any informaticju. | The man at the window did not seem to listen. You couldn ' t mix i this here fellow up with any other Shelton. They just ain ' t any that ' s got quite so much money. Oh. you mean James Armstrong Shelton? Is he a friend of yours? exclaimed J. P. rising and escorting him to the office. Won ' t you come in and sit down Mr. — Mr. — Marsh, Dad Marsh the folks back home call me. Well, Mr. Marsh, what can I do for you? I am always glad to do something for a friend of Mr. Shelton ' s. I reckon you wouldn ' t call him a friend of mine, just a neighbor some time ago. He gave me a pamphlet about early Los Angeles that I woukln ' t part with for the world. It was put out by your bank. That ' s why I came here. I want to invest my money in some kind of real estate. Certainly, certainly, said J. P. and he fairly beamed upon his new investor. My department doesn ' t handle real estate directly, but my sec- retary. Miss Holman, will send for }dr. Day of the real estate depart- ment. Mr. Day himself? Sally asked, arching her eyebrows. Mr. Day handled only the most important customers. Yes, Sally, tell him to come right away. Yes, sir, right away. A few minutes later Mr. Day walked into the office. Sally had al- ready informed him that their customer had mentioned J. A. Shelton, one n their richest depositors. Dad Marsh was introduced and Mr. Day sug- gestefl that they talk over the different buys together. S T O R Y A N D ' E R S E . 9 5 Now of course, Air. Marsh, I know that you are not sure of exactly how much money you want to spend, but could you give us an approxi- mate amount? Yes, Mr. Day, I would like to spend about five hundred dollars. FiA e himdred dollars? echoed J. P. and sank weakly into a chair. Five hundred dollars? said Day with a glare at J. P. Montgomery. Five hundred dollars? murmured Sally. Yes, sir, five hundred dollars, stated Dad Marsh proudly. It certainly took a lot of hard work to save it all. If you ' ll come with me I will have one of my men show you some of the properties, said Mr. Day. I feel kinda acquainted with you. and would lots rather have you show me around. Day arose with resignation and picked up his hat, and opened the door for Dad. Just the same, he ' s a friend of Shelton ' s, murmured J. P. shame- facedly. I wouldn ' t exactly call him a friend, mimicked Sail} and gig- gled. I ' ll fix that old invester. mumbled Day planning as he followed Dad Marsh out to the car all the earthquake wrecked property he would try to unload upon Dad ] Iarsh. The next day Sally looked up from her work to see Day come march- ing in. Has the friend of James Armstrong Shelton arrived yet? he asked. No, are you expecting him ? Yes. he is coming to sign the paper for that charming place on Bellvue street, he said sarcastically. You ' re not going to unload that old earthquake wreck on that poor old fellow. I ' m all for him and I certainly won ' t let you put that over on him. He asked for it. All he could see was this tinnble-down relic of the past. Just then Dad Marsh walked in. Are you all set to have me sign the papers? he asked. Dad. you don ' t want to buy that property, do you? You won ' t have enough money to improve it. Oh. don ' t you worry about me. Miss Sally. I ' m mighty handy at fixing things. I just made up my mind I liked the prospects of that there house. Prospects of having the house fall down on him, throught Sally, as she returned to her work. Dad affixed his name to the papers and asked, Ts the property all mine ? 96 T H E A R T I S A N W 36 It ' s yours ' ad caleum de medio terrae which means — From the center of the earth to the sky, interrupted Dad as he put the deed carefully away in his pocket and took his leave. • ' Will vou look at this? Sally demanded of J. P. a few days later shoving a newspaper in front of him. His amazed eyes read the headlines, HUGE HOARD OF AXCIENT SPANISH CO ' lNS DISCOVERED Bellvue House Yields Wealth Just then Day stormed into the office, shaking a paper. Of all the dirty crooks! Will you look at this. Words failed him. Then Sally caught sight of Dad Marsh at the window. Can I come in? he asked. Sally opened the door and took his hands, I ' m so glad for you, she told him warmly, even if you did take us for a ride. Dad went over to the table and poured out a handful of shining coins. I just brought all you young folks a little souvenir. You sure was kind to me. J. P. and Day looked uncomfortable. Sally broke the silence. Are you going to tell us how you knew ? Knew is a strong word. Nliss Sally. No. I wouldn ' t say ' Knew ' . I just didn ' t know whether I would back my guess with that five hundred or not. But how did you guess ? Sally demanded. Your bank told me. The bank? all three chorused. Yes. the liank. You remember I told you Mr. Shelton gave me that pamphlet of yours. He took a much worn pamphlet from his pocket and pointed out the title. Early Los Angeles published by the Los Angeles Fidelity Bank. The three bent over it and read the passage he had carefully under- lined. Present Plaza Not Original Plaza — 1781 The old Plaza provided by De Neve was a parallelogram one hundred varas in length and se ' enty-five in breadth, measured from a live oak marked by a silver tablet. North Main Street Widened— 1801 A tree cut down at the corner of Bellvue and ] fain was discovered to have a silver tablet imbedded in its bark. A Yankee Comes to Town By a strange quirk of fate the raiding privateer from South America gave Los Angeles its first American visitor. Fresh from raids on Spanish ships, he was known to enter the Villancienco house and was never seen again. Last of the Original Settlers STORY AND V ERSE 97 The death of Mllancienco marked the last of the old settlers. The old man ' s possession of two Spanish doubloons puzzled his friends and relatives. When J. P.. Day, and Sally had finished reading they looked up uncomprehendingly. So what? Sally asked. Search me. the others answered. Dad spread out the map. put his pencil on the corner of Bellvue and Mam. Silver tablet, Villancienco house. Pirate enters and disappears. Spanish doubloons found. See? Perfectly clear. Sally answered, and you staked your five hundred on that? Well, I ' d still have the house, if it hadn ' t worked out this way, and I ' m pretty good at fixing up things. I ' ll tell the world, all three sighed. THE A A CANT HOUSE By Joax Goodxow A great, deserted, empty, thing it stands, ' here late the laughter of sweet children rang, Upon its window panes the print of little hands, And almost I can hear the songs they sang. And almost I can hear the whispered prayer ; And lo, me-thinks the sound of little feet. Softly, swiftly pattering down the stairs. To seal the fond good night with kisses sweet. 98 T H E A R T I S A N W 36 STORM AT SEA By John JNIagida Sometime in January. 1929, off the coast of Atlantic City, New Jersey, I was fishing with my father in a small sailboat about four miles oft shore. Towards noon the fish began to disappear and clouds that seemed dark began gathering. The wind shifted towards the North, and started blowing very strong. We took our fishing tackle and started taking in the trysail when the storm hit us. Before we had the sail half way down it suddenly bellowed out and ripped down the center, also causing several ropes to lose a few strands. We sailed on with our large jib at a fast pace, at an angle toward shore. We went very fast with our jib as it was oversized. The storm soon became worse and the jib was taken in ; we were now drifting at an angle towards shore. The breakers almost washed us over- board, and the boat stood on end half the time. I certainly didn ' t feel so good. We soon came into the heavy breakers near shore many miles south of our landing (as we later learned). Here the storm suddenly altered, but the breakers still had their fury, and gave us a terrific beating and we had all we could do to keep aboard. Finally we reached high, but not so dry land, as we had many mouth- fuls of salt water to get rid of with our lunch. Upon examination of the boat we found our fishing tackle gone, with our fish and many minor parts missing. W ' e had a great deal of walking to get back where we were staying. Believe me that cabin was a welcome sight after walking about six miles in sopping wet clothes. The next time I went fishing in an open boat at sea, was here in Los Angeles in 1933, and I went because I had to! HUMOR By Margaret Worth Walking: ' S Down the Straight path of Life We see it filled with curves Of Humor STORY AND VERSE 99 YOUTH RULES By Goldie Futoran Grandmother sits silently In a secluded corner, by the window, And the soft clicking of her knitting needles Is rhythmic with the creaking Of her old rocking chair Presenting a lovely picture in the morning sunlight. Suddenly she starts And a wrinkle of annoyance gathers on her brow ; A protest forms on her lips As the silence of the crisp air is shattered By a harsh loud voice Calling out a slangly expression. But suddenly she recalls That her time has come, and gone That she must be content with the ways of the Centur}- That she must smile at a Hi Grannv. Her stately form leans back Her work lies momentarily idle in her lap Her brow holds once more Only the soft wrinkles of time And her lips a sweet smile She sits wondering, comparing, doubting — But then her hands again resume her work And the clicking of the needles Is once more rhythmic A ' ith her old rocking chair — Reconstructing the pleasing picture Basking in the earlv morning light. 100 T H E A R T I S A N W 36 MAGIC CARPET By Victor Fujiu I wish I had a magic carpet. Gosh! Wouldn ' t I have fun? I could sail above the treetops And shake hands with Mister Sun. I think I ' ll take a Htle trip. I ' ve always wanted to. To fly o ' er mountains, land, and sea, And visit our neighbors, too. I ' ll start from L. A. City On a bright, cold, frosty morn ; Eastward toward the rising sun ' hich heralds a day new-born. Over the Rocky Mountains And the great mid-western plains ; Over the Mississippi Like a soaring aeroplane. New York ' s skyscrapers are being passed And the Statue of Liberty. Over the wide Atlantic And the steamers of the sea. I see the little British Isles And the peak of Eiffel Tower. And now the Alps of Switzerland Like a great white sparkling flower. My left ear gets a ringing jar — Hitler ' s shouting, salute ! My right ear stops a thunderclap — Mussolini leads his troop. Under my chest on the right side The Mediterranean Sea ; And Africa ' s jungle of animals wild Is touching my durable knee. STORY AND VERSE 101 Russian plains before me, The icefields further- on. Arabian Nights behind me ; Indian fakirs putting on. Dazzling China shows its beauties And temples bright and clean. Fujiyama ' s peak is lofty Like Her Majesty, the Queen. The wide and great Pacific Is rolling past me now. I see the Hawaiian Islands; Hula dancers take their bow. And now I sight the City Hall With poppies all around. I smell the fragrant citrus fruits ; My home again I ' ve found. 102 T H E A R T I S A N W ' 36 RAIN By Betty Pershing Out for a night of fun! Five row boats shoved off toward a small island, upon which a tiny camp tire burned merrily. The night seemed made for a rollicking time. As the moon reflected in the clear surface of the lake, it seemed a little closer, a little more friendly. The stars wer e no longer mystic wonders, but gleaming wdiite lights trying to outshine the bonfire. The night, except for the laughter of the party and the occasional call of a night bird, was still. One bv one the row boats drifted into a tiny inlet that serves as a harbor. In hardly any time at all the weiners and marshmallows were roasting in the fire. My! How luscious they were, even if the wieners were not done and the marshallows burnt. All sorts of entertainment followed. Talented Jim began the weird tale, aided by the gruesome shadows of the dying fire, the monotonous lap, lap, lap, of the water against the boats. The moon, as if it were included in the heart-rending fable, disappeared behind a thick gray cloud. Just as the story reached its height, another factor of nature added to the surroundings, the life of every party. Friend Rain. The party ne ' er found out what happened to the man who was locked in the haunted house. All mystery was forgotten in the scurry to collect everything and everybody into the row boats. Never will the distance between the island and mainland be traversed as quickly. A FLOWER By Adell. ' Ganahl A flower is a beautifid l:)it of color Resting with quiet majesty On a long green stem, Or gently swayed by soft breezes It bows its head as if Whispering to those beneath it Its petals are set in perfect Symmetry with white transparency Of color. One stops and looks At this beauty with An air of disbelief. STORY AND VERSE 1U3 THE INTROVERT By Gilbert Steed A sweet bunch of violets glow on her Throat, she will have none of them. Because eyes surroimd her. She tears Them off. and cries piteously, See, I Am nothing. L}-ing in the dirt she Moans, Look. I — I am in dust, poor Me ! She finds a torch and grasps it, Then Looking around discovers eyes. Quickly she gives it to another, Take it, I cannot carry it. But in secret hours She runs full into the flame. See, she cries, I am anything that I want to be. But it is not so. she Speaks only to emptiness. A Parody of Herself. YELLO BUTTERFLIES By Jack Carlow Alany ears have passed by since that summer day That held life and its wonders as if it could not cease, A small boy was at play. And yellow butterflies circled over his head in a magnificent array. She gazed from the flower covered portal, and then knew her son would be immortal. Then, in a winter day ' s black hell. When not a man could foretell, Who would die out there Since death came with the gusts of air. An American soldier invading this strand, Fell in this damnable land, L ' nknown. But she could not let the memories of her lost son die. Because vividly he was felt nearby. So she went to the monument and prayed to God. If my boy was carried from foreign sod. Tell me if he lies here. She wept as Yellow Butterflies flew near. 104 THE ARTISAN W 36 S T O R Y A N D V E R S E 105 PACKING By Ted Miller The first thing I heard on the morning of August 17, was my father yelhng at me to get up. We were at the the Drease ranch in South- western Montana, about seven miles from the Continental Divide. There was Mr. Hoard, a rather fat business man from the East, Bill Murphy and Paul Campbell, both local Montana business men, my father, and L We were planning on a fishing trip back in the mountains, using pack horses and a saddle horse apiece. We had breakfast and started putting on the packs. This first packing of the horses is always very interesting because the horses are usually green and try to throw their packs. Dad decided to put a pack on a big bay horse. Just as they got it on and were ready to tie it down with a diamond hitch, the big bay reared back and broke his halter rope, which was tied to the hitching rack. As soon as he was loose he lit into bucking and scattered his pack all over the ranch yard. We finally got the horses lined out and started up the trail to Mystic Lake, which is one quarter of a mile the other side of the Con- tinental Divide from the Drease ranch. We stayed at the Lake for two days and got in some good fishing, catching several good sized rainbow trout. On leaving Mystic Lake my little sorrel took to bucking and threw me. Everyone got cjuite a kick out of this as I didn ' t look exactly graceful when I was sailing through the air. From Mystic Lake a trail leads across the Continental Divide through three passes situated in a l:)asin way up among tree peaks just below the timber line. While climbing up to one of the passes the horse that I was leading fell down. I had his halter rope tied down solid to my saddle horn so when he fell and started rolling down the hill it pulled my saddle horse over backwards. I kicked loose and got free from my saddle horse before he got all the way over. The horses rolled down the side hill for about fifty feet and then hit a tree and stopped. We went down and untangled them and found both horses skinned up pretty badly. My saddle had the cantle broken but we managed to fix it up so I could use it for the rest of the trip. We repacked the pack horse and went on, little the worse for the experience. While we were going over the last pass before dropping down into Rainbow Lake, we saw six mountain goats climbing single file up the side of the peak. They are very interesting to watch because of their surefootedness and their white shaggy coats. They look, at a distance, like little patches of snow or real white rocks. 106 THE ARTISAN W ' 36 We spent three clays fishing at Rainbow Lake and had an excellent time. The fish in this lake get a lot of food and are good fighters when they are hooked. They lie behind rocks and water-soaked logs. By drawing your hook over the tops of these logs and rocks you at least tempt the fish to bite. From Rainbow Lake we went over to Pintlar Lake and camped there for one night. Theodore Roosevelt once hunted bear in that same place. The next morning we followed Pintlar Creek down out of the mountains to the Pintlar Creek ranch which my Grandfather owns. The men went back to their jobs and I stayed to spend what remained of the summer with my grandfather. STORY AND VERSE 107 THE NEW MANUAL By Jeax Livingston There was something in old Manual, As she stood before the quake, That would hnger in my memory, Tho a better school they ' d make. There was something in the old arcades Where the students used to strol l. That I wondered if they could replace W ' ith fine architecture and gold. Now I never went to Manual Before her walls were down And I ne er strolled her old arcades Nor walked her flowered ground. But there was something in her portals, And the love of students there And it made me dream of time to come, ' hen I too that love would share. And at last Lm here at Manual I have watched her new walls rise. The change that I feared is here at last She stands bravely against the skies. But it ' s not the walls of Manual That make her dear to me. It ' s not the arcades or the grounds Or anything to see. It ' s the spirit of old Manual That lurks in school life there. She spreads her wings, and shelters us Mth more than buildings fair. 108 T H E A R T I S A N W 36 WHY WARS WILL CEASE By Morris Kawin Historians tell us that the civil war was really ended at Gettysburg, vet the fighting continued for a year after that terrible battle. They tell us that in the World War the allies really won at the Marne, yet the war was continued for four years and every nation suffered the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives. On Armistice Day itself, everybody in the official command knew that an armistice would be declared during the morning, but still the firing continued until eleven o ' clock. During those hours many lives were needlessly sacrificed. Wars will end because they are too expensive. General von Moltke said, Every war, even for the nation that conquers is nothing else than a disaster. Undoubtedly there were never truer words spoken. Even the nations that have conquered have undergone disaster. Millions of their best men, the cream of the crop, were cut down, and those who should have been used to propagate the race were sent to the battlefield to be shot to pieces. If by some trick of fate they happened to return from the war, they came liack l:)roken in spirit and I)ody. So the propagation of the human race was left to those who were not able to get into the war because they were impaired either physically or mentally. Can you picture the con- sequences? Need I describe the future of the human race? Can you picture a mass of deformed idiots? That is what is meant by the statement that wars cost too much. Wars will cease because they produce economic chaos. Benjamin Franklin once said, Wars are not paid for in war time ; the bill comes later. How true is that statement. This depression into which the whole world has been thrown ruthlessly is the result of the world war. There is on record a conversation between an American economist and an elderly much-traveled woman who met on an ocean liner returning to America from Europe. They were discussing the effects of the World War. The woman said, Young man, have you seen the devasted areas in France? Until you have, you will never have the slightest conception of war. Madam, the economist replied, Are you aware of the depreciated and isolated exchanges, the disorganized banking and currency systems, the disrupted trade and commercial relations of the world, the mal-adjust- ments in the world economic organizations, which the war has produced ? Until the meaning of these things is seen, the consequence of war cannot be realized. Thus you have both the immediate and after effects which, like liidden liereditary traits, expose themselves in later generations. Wars will cease because people are beginning to comprehend that they bring about demoralizing effects. In wars, the men are instructed in the art of murder. In time of peace to murder, killing even his enemy STORY AND VERSE 109 is the greatest crime a person can commit ; but in war soldiers will un- necessarily kill marauders they have never seen or heard of before. Wars increase the tendency toward crime. After the ' orld War it was disclosed that there was a callousness not evident before. In 1922 it was estimated that there were approximately 20,000 ex-service men in penal institutions throughout the United States. It is easy to understand wh_ wars develoj) criminals when we learn there is a disregard of prop- erty rights. Clothes and equipment are government property. To help oneself, when in need, is a common practice ; and with active divisions, large amounts of property being salvage dumps. Pillage is generally sanction ed. Property becomes a mere matter of taking. en the men came home after the World War many of them found their promised jobs missing. As a result, they resorted to the methods which they used in France. After wars there is a great increase in vice and immorality. The official statistics of one of the armies at the front give 400,000 cases of venereal disease. Wars must cease ! They are too expensive. They produce economic chaos. They are stupid. A better way must be found. It is universally felt that the method is obsolete. A TROPHY By Joan Goodman Comes memory with that old refrain — Lest we forget, and once again I fare down memory ' s path to find A trophy I had left behind ; ' Twas labeled Friendship, and if there ' Tis just as fond and true and fair As when I left it on your sill — Return it if you have it still. IN THE SILENCE By Ramoxa Kashuba Across the brooding plains — Far from the seven seas — A land of beauty lies Sweet with nectar and honeybees. The deepening sky hovers o ' er it As the night slowly falls The white wayward trail is starlit — ■ And it ' s there that mv heart calls. no TH E A RT I S AN W ' 36 A ARD 18 By Rose Tomita I touched ni}- bandaged eyes. The third day of darkness — the pain in my eyes was lessening and the strange noises and queer odors about me were all merging gradually into one continuous rustle of starched linen, low mutterings of other patients and the odor of antiseptics. I knew that I was not alone in my section of that large room, for the hurrying ' click-clack of feet often paused only for an instant In ' my cot and then again resumed its l)usy rhythm. Click-clack, click-clack — the efficiently tapping feet paused at my side and a cold thermometer was rudely thrust into my mouth. This was Miss Perkly, the head nurse. I knew, for she was the only one who treated us as though we were a bunch of repulsive fishes instead of patients. Of course, one had to allow for the fact that we were charity patients too. When Miss Perkly spoke, all the nurses subdued their chatter and an oppressive stififness replaced their usual good humor and gayety. I could feel Miss Perkly ' s tall presence Ijending over my bed and her cold, bony hands on my brow. Then I heard her sharp, high voice issu- ing a command to one of the nurses, and for no good reason at all, I could feel hate rising in me towards this bony woman. To my right in the ward, was someone who was forever tossing in her bed. Her harsh, rough voice often irritated me and 1 imagined her as a coarse, middle-aged woman, embittered bv her fading youth, for she was continually turning to me and saying in a loud voice, such things as: Say, you don ' t know how lucky you are. You ' re young yet and you ' ve got enough looks to pass you in the dark — that is if you know what I mean. And with these words she would burst forth in explosive gales of loud laughter mingled with profanity. Finally, disgusted at her warped mind, I asked the nurse with the honeysuckle fragrance about her, to move me on my left side. I espec- ially liked this low-voiced nurse because of the fragrance about her. It brought back so vividly the first school I attended as a child. There were masses of honeysuckle swarming over the walls of that grey wooden building and often as a child, I played jacks under the hanging branches heavy with fragrant blossoms. On my left side was a woman — a colored woman I supposed — for she kept muttering Laud — Laud between intervals of deathly silence. Qu:te contrary to the woman on my right, this Negress scarcely moved at all — in fact, after a half-hour of this eerie quiet, I decided that I pre- ferred the loud w(jman. .Vt least you knew she was quite alive, while the STORY AND VERSE . Ill Negress terrified me with her stihness. Thoughts of death and strange negro rites in darl terrifying jungles filtered through my mind. Above all these thoughts was always the sound of the creaking beds, the occasional sob of a homesick patient and the mutterings of other patients. I knew that the lights were slowly being turned dimmer, for the whispers became lower and lower and finally only a few daring ones ventured to say anything. Night had fallen in the ward and all was in a ghostly silence, broken only by the occasional creak of a cot and the cautious tip-toeing of night nurses. ADMINISTRATION By Virginia Rodecker Here ' s to our good faculty, The teachers of our youth, Who wisely lead us on to paths Of learning and of truth Who labor with great fortitude And many winning wiles. To train our brains with wholesome food By books in towering piles. Who step by step unfold to us Wise lore of many kinds, And deftly, wisely mold for us Receptive, eager minds. So here ' s to our kind faculty Who patiently convey To us all knowledge we acquire In our happy, carefree way. 112 T H E A R T I S A X W 36 THE VALUE OF R.O.T.C. TRAINING Bv Arthur Neumann To the man on the street, lie he observing, indifferent, or merely casually interested, the training of his associates in both citizenship and service, is a thing which makes itself imposing in either a pleasant or aggravating manner. The Reserve Officers ' Training Corps has been established with many definite views in mind, the foremost being to train the young men in its charge and to give them the opportunity to profit by its doctrine of discipline, citizenship, and service so that they may become the leaders of tomorrow. The operation of the unit is in the hands of capable and understand- in ; men who work solelv for the betterment of the cadets. However, the curricula does not call solely for disciplinary training, but it also offers a wide range of activity for the development of the coordination of mind and muscle. Possibly the second most important value derived from R.O.T.C. training by the cadet is that of realizing his position of being a competent and efficient aid for the defense of his country. While peace is preached to him, he is made to realize the value of preparedness as security against international entanglements. As George ' ashington stated not once but many times, To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace. Therefore, actual combat formations, tent pitching, first aid, map reading, musketry, scouting and patrolling, personal hygiene, and military courtesy are included in the training. Love of his country is instilled in the trainee ' s mind, and by lectures and demonstrations the realization of the horrors of war is brought out and the truth is full - realized — that in war every single nation involved will lose, regardless which nation or alliance of nations nominally wins. Aside from the military element, the trainee is taught many of the practical things met with in life. Thoughtfully included in the daily rou- tine is emphasis on the keeping of clothes in good order, obeying orders promptly, and in keeping alert. These things all go toward making the cadet not only more valuable in his own home but they also give him a feeling of pride, independence, and real achievement. In the R.O.T.C. the cadet is put on his own. No longer does he lean upon the guiding hand of his parents lint instead, he stands firmly upon his own feet and with chest out and head up, he becomes a man — a man who is really living and achieving the greatest possible good. Character and personality are thus strengthened and developed. Also, the cadet learns to obey orders and to respect his superiors for he is made to real- ize that only by obeying orders will he ever be able to give orders. 114 THE ARTISAN W ' 36 R. O. T. C.

BAND One of the most necessary organizations of the unit is the group of talented musicians who make up the R.O.T.C. Band, and make the parades and reviews so colorful and lively. This term the hand has been well drilled and efficient. One of the outstanding activities and honors this term was their jiarticipation in the Armistice Day Parade when they were chosen to he in the reviewing stand at the City Hall along with Mayor Shaw and Senator McAdoo. Besides the drilling, marching, and jilaying at the football games, the band served as a rifle compan} ' . As Company D it handled the same close order, extended order, and rifle exercises as the other companies of the battalion. Under the cajmble leadershi]) of Captain Stephan Cohen and his subordinate officers. Lts. Bergherm and O ' Keefe. the band performed notably throughout the term with the wonderful aid of Mr. William T. Killgrove. musical director. -M I L I T A R Y 119 THE AiAXUAL ARTS DRILL SQUAD By Lieut. Russell Smith The Drill Sc-iuad was started in 1929 by Capt. McNeil and consisted of ten men and alternates. Ever since then is has been a part of the R. O. T. C. activities. Last year ' s team existed for two and a half years, and became quite proficient in doing the difficult movements with perfect unity. That team gave exhibitions throughout the city ; at schools, at American Legion Posts, and many other places of note where they were heartily applauded. The present drill team ' is an entirely new team except for its leader and instructor. Captain Robert Snow, the only member of the old drill squad. The plans this year call for exhibitions before schools, conven- tions, etc. At the present date the Riviera Polo Clul) has asked them to perform at the club. The drill team made its debut at the Army P all. The drill is done with a regulation arm_ - rifle, weighing nine pounds. The drill team, in executing the drill, resembles ten drum majors twirHng the rifles like batons. The flashing of the twirling rifles and the breath taking movements give many thrills to the audience. The members of this year ' s team are Lt. Smith, Lt. Houy, Lt. Hen- derson, 1st Sgts. Bush and Sanz, Sgt. Grossman, Sgt. Bonde, Sgt. Ted- ford, Sgt. Hartsfiekl, and Corp. Hills. The alternates are : Capt. Newman, Capt. PLatf ield, and Sgts. Par- sons and Ordesch. 120 T H E A R T I S A N W 36 THE PULSE OF THE CITY By Ed Davis Piercing the skies The skyscrapers rise — Ten billion tons of steel and humanity Soaring up. up, past the clouds, A symphony of steel and machinery.

KU 122 THE A R T I S A N W 36 Till ' : SI-:XI()K PLAYERS ' COMPANY The Manual Arts Senior Piayers ' Com])any has this term had one of its most successful terms in the history of Manual Arts. The company is made up of advanced and experienced actors. This year the senior company has 7S members and has produced The Web of Destiny and The Christmas Jest, plus many dramatiza- tions and skits given in homerooms and meetings. This year the Players ' Company bids farewell to Bill O ' Keefe as president. Bill has been the head of this organization for the past four terms. He also founded and has sponsored the Junior Players ' Com- pany. The plays he has produced are: Apartments to Let, The Second Visit, The Wedding Rehearsal, The Monkey ' s Paw, The Fourth Mrs. Philips, Thursday Evening, Gadgets, The Web of Destiny, and The Christmas Jest, In the later part of the term the semi-annual baniiuet was held at the i ' ioyal Palms Hotel ; more than 200 attended. The cabinet for W ' 36 is Bill O ' Keefe, president; Howard Culver, vice-president; Pearl Berger, girls ' vice-president; Betty Schwankovsky, secretary-treasurer and Bob Maclntyre, pulilicity manager.

Dr. ' ilson, after the last performance was over, arose and said that the beauty and music had brought tears to his eyes and that the acting could never again be equalled. Both the Players ' Company and the combined Glee Clubs deserve more than thanks for producing the most unusual production in the history of the school. 124 THE ARTISAN W ' 36 The Web of Destiny Directed l)y Bill O ' Keefe Cast : Air.

The admission charge was ten cents, and the entire proceeds were turned over to the Community Chest. The cast handled a difficult dialogue extremely well, and its per- formance was the subject of much applause. The story dealt with a paw which had the power of granting three wishes to its possessor. The dire results to the White family made up the plot of the story. D R A M A A N D M U S I C 125 A lAI ELLA CliolR GIRLS ' JR. GLEE CLUB GIRLS ' LYRIC CLUB 126 T H E A R T I S A N W 36 LYRIC CLUB During the leave of absence this semester of Miss Ina Davids, the Lyric Club was fortunate in having the leadership of Miss Virginia Blvthe in carrying on the traditions and splendid quality of work which have characterized this organization. Chosen for their outstanding ability in part singing and their inter- est in fine music, the members of the Lyric Club not only are musical but are noted for their cooperation in every way to make Manual one of the unusual high schools of the city. Programs have been presented on the campus, at neighborhood churches, Womans ' Clubs, and parks. The Club has had a splendid cabinet consisting of Jean Morgan, president ; Patsy Haney, vice-president ; Rosita Stuart, secretary and Marjorie McKeen, treasurer who are largely responsible for the club ' s unstinted and frequent contribution to civic and social service. Many student body cabinet members, scholarship society members and many unusually gifted girls are among the enthusiastic members who wear the blue sleeveless sweaters with the blue and white emblems. Hen- rietta Pelta is the club accompanist. A CAPPELLA The A Cappella Choir is a very active group of Manual students who enjoy singing so much that they like to make their own harmony. Un- accompanied singing is a very old and honored custom that dates back many hundred years. Therefore, any one belonging to this group may feel a glow of satisfaction at being a part of such a splendid chorus. Lack of an Auditorium has made public performances scarce. They really work hard to achieve artistic results. The last day of school, before Christmas vacation, the choir enter- tained the students by singing five or six lovely Christmas numbers, rang- ing from Welch, Norwegian, and German Carols, to several outstanding numbers by the great Sebastian Bach, whose peer there will never be found in choral literature. The Swimming Stadium was the scene of the choirs ' social activity, a grand time being had by all, so the A Cappella voted their Christmas party the best ever held. The choir is piloted this term by: President, Charles Miller; vice- president, Lois Haegerman; secretary, Grace Ridgway ; treasurer, Dena Papapostual; librarians, Anne Bowden and William Piccoor. Miss Elizabeth Mottern is the director of the organization this term, and, together with the choir has felt that a most successful term was had by all. DRAMA AND MUSIC 127 BOYS ' JUNIOR GLEE CLUB Striking away the old precedent of being just another organization, the Boys ' Junior ( ilee Ckib has broken all records in the history of the group in its activities this Fall term. Under the leadership of very capable officers, the club has barged into many new undertakings, viz. ; they en- tered an exceptionally original float in the Football Carnival, and thinking not only of their own enjoyment, they sponsored a very ' fat Thanksgiv- ing basket for a very needy family, the basket consisting of several boxes of food which went with the hearty best wishes of the club. A real Xmas Party was held the day before Xmas vacation at which an exchange of gifts, games, stunts, and refreshments were enjoyed by all. The club owes its popularity and activeness to the untiring effort of the Cabinet, which consists of : president, Donald Klein ; vice-president, Dick Berry ; secretary-treasurer, Bob Lasher ; librarians, Lawrence Law- son and Harry Glover. Miss Mottern is the sponsor and director of the club, and is always vitallv interested in all its activities. 128 THE ARTISAN W ' 36 BOYS ' JR.

They have assisted in many ways both in student body activities and participation in the musical life at Manual. The soft melodious strains of their carols at Christmas time will be remembered as one of their outstanding contributions. Ail girls who desire to enjoy the thrill of singing good music are extended an invitation to join this club. Esther Brown and lone Axford alter- nated as dub accompanists, and Miss Blythe is the sponsor. AEOLIAN CLUB Perhaps never in the history of the Aeolian Clul) has there been so much attention called to its popularity, as this Fall term of W 36. One cause was the tremendous ovation gi ven by the school as a whole, to the new uniform of the club, which will follow down through the coming years. Another reason was the outstanding sticcess of the Christmas Pro- gram in which they took part with the Girls ' Lyric Ciul). A full evening concert, also with the Lyric Club, was given at the Plymouth Congrega- tional Church, and a group of the Clul) took part in a special arrangement of our Christmas Program, given for the Elementary Principals ' Club, at the personal request of Mr. Curtis, Supervisor of Music of Los Angeles. Singing, again with the Lyric Club, at the Winter Graduation exer- cises, climaxed the busy season for the Club. The officers for this very successful term were: James Jones, president; Verdell Bean, vice-president; Gordon Little, secretary; Louie Dorsey, treasurer; and Miss Mottern. adviser. THE FOOTBALL BAND The band this year was one of the chief of actors in making friendly rivalry between schools at our football games a success. Their appearances and that of visiting bands between halves furnished a relief and colorful contrast to the grimy struggle of the games. Mr. Killgrove is responsible for adding this plea.sanc feature to our interscholastic games. DRAM A A X D MUSIC 131 THE LITTLE SYMPHONY The Little Symphony Orchestra is one of the many musical organ- izations at Manual Arts. It is a selected group of the best instrumentalists available, under the leadership of Mr. Mlliam T. Killgrove. The more serious and classical types of music are studied. Some of the appearances made this year were at the P.T.A. meet- ing on November 18. and at the Play which was given by the Senior Players ' Company November 20. The most important work of the year is playing for graduation. The music played for that occasion demands work durin g the greater part of the term. This semester ' s social event was the attendance at the picture Met- ropolitan. The officers of the orchestra are: president, Joan Goodnow; sec- retary, Helen E. Brown ; treasurer. Bill Tanner. THE SYMPHONIC BAND The Symphonic Band is decidedly a modern orchestra. The sel- ections chosen for it are brilliant pieces, fantasies, and revised classicals. To the listener the music is light and pleasant because it is a change from either extreme — jazz or classical. To the player the music presents variet} ' as well as preparation for outside work. Symphonic practice gives oportunity to those who wish to pursue any type modern music, including that of dance orchestras. Man in the band plan to seriously take uj) this work after graduating from high school. All have worked earnestly and were sincerely interested, in making this term successful. The Symphonic Band has been under the capable supervision of William T. Killgrove. The officers of the band are : president. Jack Gregerson ; vice-pres- ident, Elwood Ford : secretary, Goldie Futoran ; treasurer. Ellen Brown. THE SENIOR ORCHESTRA With a large number of talented players, the orchestra has set even higher standards than before. This group has approached its appointed tasks with an unusual amount of vim and vigor, leading to a more per- fect coordination of thought, and developing active prospective musicians. Those sounds escaping from the immediate vicinity of the north end of the bleachers are the efforts of the valiantly striving musicians known as the ' Senior Orchestra. The most inT]3ortant social event of the year was the delightful time they had at the Shrine Auditorium at a roller skating party. The officers of the orchestra are: president, Bruce lacRae; vice-president, Harold Caldwell; secretary, Dorothy Martin; treasurer, Hazel Bedig ; director, Mr. William Killgrove. 132 T H E A R T I S A N W ' 36 THE ALL-AMERICAN TEAM By Roy Adamson Although representatives from the far ' est for All-American hon- ors were seemingh- missing in the year 1935. there was a good number of outstanding candidates that just failed to make the first string selections. First of all. maybe we had better take an All-American team that was the popular choice of most selectors. At the two end positions were Monk Moscrip of Stanford and GaN nell Tinsley of Louisiana State ; tackles. Truman Spain. S.M.U., and Smith of Minnesota ; at center, hon- ors were seemingly divided. Homer Jones being one of the outstanding candidates. In the backfield. Bobby Wilson, S. M. U. ; Riley Smith, Alabama, Jay Berwanger, Chicago, and Bobby Grayson, made up most of the elevens. In the Pacific Coast and for the West several players made first string on some teams, but as a whole, they just slipped under the wire. Take a look at this array of backfield stars. Goddard. W. S. C. ; Cheshire, U.C.L.A., Hamilton, Stanford, Davis, S.C., Christoferson, S. C. ; and Cotton, Cal. In the forward wall, the two Brittingham brothers at Berkeley; Topping, Stanford ; Gaisf ord. Southern Cal. ; McChesney, U. C. L. A. ; Rouble, Stanford; Kuhn, S. C. ; Chavoor, U.C.L.A.; Duvall, Loyola; and so on throughout a litter of good football players. As a whole, western football teams did not, this year, provide any large number of single, outstanding football players, but the separate teams seemed to rely on steady, machine-like ]irecision for the success of their squad. 134 T H E A R T I S A N W 36 MANUAL ' S COACHING STAFF Sid Foster: The head of the ] Ianual Arts coaching division is one of the most active of the lanual facuhy. Under his supervision the Toiler dull, tennis team, lettermen societies, and the general direction of the school ' s athletic activities are most efficiently handled. James Blewett : A glance at the record of the Purple and Grey varsity football team, and an explanation as to the capability of Jim Blewett is un- necessary. A tie for the southern league championship with a team that was a pre-season favorite for the lower division bracket, shows Coach Blewett ' s ability to turn out great teams. Besides turning out good foot- ball players, he is noted for his fair play and character forming al)ility. Coach Blewett also handles the class hee track team. Charles Toiiey : One of tlie best liked and revered coaches on the Toiler staff. His amia1)ility and concern for his boys is a well known fact on and off the campus. Coach Toney handles the varsity track teams and the cross-country team won the southern league title this year. Toney also trains the forward wall of the varsity grid team. Art IVilliiinis : Peewee is the mentor of the oft-time championshij) gym team at Manual. One of the most versatile coaches, he handles the golf team, the class Ijee footloall and basketball teams, and the gym team. He has enjoyed one of the most successful of seasons this past term ; the bee football team winning the city cham])ionship, the gym team toj jping all in the city. A sterling record for a real coach. He is also the youngest of the coaching staff. Jiiiiiiiy Aniistroiuj : Jimmy Armstrong is responsible for the many powerful varsity basketball teams that have brought honor to Manual Arts. Always a Toiler casaba (|uintette that is feared by the rest of the league for its potentialities is turned out by Coach Armstrong. He was the sponsor of the class cee city championship football team last term, and guides the destinies of the midget track teams. Herbert Loiighccd: Perhaps one of the most important joljs at Man- ual is the task of training and helping the mal-nutrition cases and those students who have some physical ailment that hinders their chances of participating in athletic events. Before baseball was discontinued at ] Ian- ual, Mr. Lougheed was turning out championship horsehide teams.

A strong line- man who was always in the midst of the battle. He was almost im- possible to remove from his po- sition, and continually opened big holes in the line for Manual ' s backfield men. He wilLnot be back nex J ' erdcll Bean. Speedy ' i;! iard- hitting half-back, who coul al- ways be called on in tight piloses. X ' erdell was efficient at the quar- terl)ack position besides that at half. ' erdell is a senior, and will not return. Dicic Berry. Sterling field generalism was dominant in Dick ' s grid playing. His signal calling and offensive work over- shadowed that of his defensive, but he was no slacker on defense, Dick ' s absence will lie sorely felt next vear. Buster Berycsoii. Burgy was a good steady J:)ackfield man who never slacked at his job. He was a good passer and his aerials often found their mark in the wel- coming arms of Toiler ends. This is his last year in Manual Arts footliall sessions. .J. V- . . -.. •yr t .A . ATHLETICS 139 Frank Bosonni ' orfh. Steady wingman : as good defensively as offensively. Always available, and a valuable player because of his experience. One of the hardest hitting linemen, combining speed with power. Is a senior, and will not return next fail. Bob Cress. Especially out- standing on end-around plays, and offensive thrusts. Bob once made more yardage than the entire Toil- er backfield in running plays in the duration of one game. He al- ternated at both end positions, playing equally well at either post. He will not answer the grid call next fall. Don Doyle. A good, steady pla}er who received high honors by all who came in contact with him. This tall red-head could al- ways be accounted for when large holes were to be torn in the opposition. This is Don ' s last year on the squad. Bill Eiigel. Fast, hard to take out of a play, and powerful hitting guard. An aggressive, heads-up gridder who was always an asset to the team. His exper- ience, three years on the squad, made him a valuable player. This is his last year on the team and he ' ll not answer the call next vear. ; 140 THE ARTISAN W ' 36 Jack Kelly. Jack was al- ways in the midst of the frav. His diagnosing of plays was very creditable, and he was one of the toughest men on the squad. Rotat- ing at the signal calling position with Dick Berry. Jack could al- ways be called on to back up the line in the best of fashion. Jack will not be back next year. Louis LaRitsso. The hero of several games, and probably the most outstanding offensive back on the team. His most predomin- ating feature was his ability to snag passes, and h is glue-finger- edness accounted for more points than any other Toiler. This is Louis ' second year as a letterman, and he will again be back next term. Bill McBitniic. A two } ' ear letterman. and one of the stead- iest and most reliable men in the Purple and Grey line. His posi- tion at right tackle was where many of the large gains were rip- ped off by 0 -erlin, Wynne, etc. Bill was a Indwark on defense and hard-hitting on defense. This is Bill ' s last season with the Arti- sans. Don McLaughlin. Only in- juries received at the beginning of the season ke]it this sterling wing-man out (jf early games. Don was on par with the best of ends. This is Don ' s second year as a varsity grid letterman, and he ' ll iKjt be back ne.xt term. ATHLETICS 141 Bill Ovcrlin. Out of practi- cally nowhere came Bill Overlin, mainstay of the Artisan offense. This line-tearing halfback carried the ball more than any other per- son on the squad, and proved himself one of the outstanding backfield men in the city. Bill will be back next vear. Al Pcggs. Altho the .short- est man on the squad, and just up from the Bee team, Al went ahead to make a place for himself on the varsity team. Al will not he back. Armando Saiiclie::. One ot the speediest men on the team, and a shifty runner. Although one of the lightest men on the squad. Armando made himself a reliable asset to the team. This is his last vear on the Artisan team. Johnny ScoUnos. All-City nominee on every selection made by newspapers and by coaches. A true fighter and a good, steady passer. Johnny made his letter for the second year, and he ' ll be back next term, the only returning letterman on the Artisan forward wall. THE ARTISAN W ' 36 ;; Slattcr. Jim made the All-City selection for the second consecutive year. Especially good on offense, his catches ruining many a ball game for opposing teams. Jimmy made his letter for two years, and will graduate with the Futurist class, leaving a gap- ing hole at the end post. Captain Jpluniy Tlioiiiassiii. Johnny was voted All-City guard for the second successive year. His playing and leadership won him with the captainship of the Toiler team. This is John- ny ' s last season. . Hank IVcndcU. Hank was especially outstanding on defense. His consistent play at the left guard position was one of the highlights of the strong Toiler forward wall. .Many large gains by the Artisan backfield were due to the offensive playing of Hank. This is Hank ' s Ia.st year on the Toiler varsitv. Riiss Wendell. Hard-hitting center who backed up the line with terrific impact. Only the brilliance of Scolinos kept Russ from seeing more action. This is Russ ' s last term on the siiuad. ATHLETICS 143 flashy Johnny IJ ' yniic. Hardest hitting back on the team. Johnny tore off plenty of precious yardage thru the opposing line, and when it was most needed. Johnny started out rather slow, but came back magnificently. On defense, this tough as cowhide back was of the best. Many of the runs thru the line, and around the end were made possible by Wynne ' s blocking. He has two more years in Toiler football. Charles Clatzvorthy. Always Johnny-on-the-spot. A dependable and spirited manager of a true Toiler team. One of the varsity members who goes imsung, but should be given a great deal of credit for splendid cooperation and effort. Art Maclntyrc. Under his supervision as athletic manager, all athletic suits and equipment are issued. All subordinate managers of the various teams are responsible to him. An important job handled by an efficient person. 144 THE ARTISAN W ' 36 ATHLETICS 145 CITY CHAMPIONSHIP BEE FOOTBALL TEAM Manual ' s wonder team, the Class Bee aggregation, journeyed to the football wars and did not return until it had seized the city champion- ship from the belligerent hosts of three different leagues. Although defeated, 13-0 by the L.A. Romans, in the first practice game of the season, the Artisan squad went on throughout the remainder of the season, with an unblemished record, to ring up one of the most successful years of lightweight football in the history of the school. Scoring a decisive 13-7 victory over the Fremont Pathfinders in the first league game, the Purple and Gray proceeded to romp over other opposition with comparative ease. The outstanding factor of the team was its continual improvement with each game. Almough starting out somewhat slow, the Toilers, led by Capt. Earl Elsey, Bill Mills, and Steve McDonald, continued their merry pace by downing the Washington Generals, 12-0; Poly Parrots, 19-0; then captured the southern league title by thoroughly trouncing Jefferson b) ' a score of 40-0. The team then met L.A., the team that had defeated them in a practice tiff, for the first play-off for the city championship. The Toilers inatxgurated a real Roman holiday, when they beat the Bresee-men, 20-0. Then as a grand finale, the Williams-men trounced the Roosevelt Teds, 20-0 for the undisputed city championship. Those outstanding on the team are : Else} ' , Mills. }iIcDonald, Saito, Pinckard, Barker, Kim, Mathews, Miller, Blanchard, McKinney, and Kinoshita. 146 THE ARTISAN W ' 36 ATHLETICS 147 CLASS CLE CrrY CHAMPIONS Bringing glory and honor to Manual the mighty midget football team that went through its season undefeated, untied, and unscored on, and became cham]iions of the city of Los Angeles. Led by Capt. Bob Poston. sterling left tackle, the Toiler team proved itself the strongest squad, both defensively, and offensively in the city. No team came within the Purple and Gray 20 yard line, a record that stands in the annals of Toilerdom history. The first team to fall at the hands of the Artisans was the San Pedro Pirates, who were set back. 6-0. This game was one of the toughest on the Toilers ' schedule. The Franklin Panthers were the next victims of the onslaught, beaten, 24-0. All-city halfback, Shozo Saito, Tomped 80 yards to score in this game. This player was one of the important cogs in the Toiler aggregation. Overconfidence almost beat the Manualites against Fairfax, but they caught themselves in time and went on to a 12-0 victory. Continuing their powerful playing they went on to lick the Hamilton Cees, 25-0 in their last league game. Playing the L. A. high Romans, traditional rivals of the Artisans, for the City championship, saw the Manualites return with the crown by handing the Romans a 7-0 beating. The outstanding mighty midgets on the Toiler Class Cee team : Capt. Poston. Saito. Condos, Komai, Finkle, Johnson, Nakahara, Mc- Daniel, RIacIntvre. Dovle. and Mitani. 14S THE A R T I S A X W 00 TOILERS TRIPPED BY FREilOXT 1 The ghost of Doyle Bomber Xave haunted the gridiron of Richer Field as a fighting Fremont grid team lambasted a 7-0 -ictor - over Coach Jim Blewett ' s -ar5ii football team, practically ruining any championship hopes of the Toilers. The Pathfinders entered scoring territory- in the second period, culmi- nating a 36 yard power drive down the field which ended with Mitchell, halfback, slamming his way to a touchdown. Schwartz. Fremont slashing fullback, made the score a bit more impressive by place-kicking the extra poinL lanual ' s chances for -ictor - were spoiled rv nce by costly fumbles within the Cardinal and Grey 20 }-ard stripe.

The Blewett men held the upper hand all the way, and were never in serious danger. The initial M. A. score started in midfield where Overlin, flashy halfback, stepped back to his own 40 and heaved a long pass to LaRusso who caught the pigskin on the Blue and Gold 35 midst several Poly back- field men, wheeled around, side stepped, straight armed, and uut ran the entire secondary. Bill Overlin then place-kicked the first extra jjoint of the season for the Toilers. The second touchdown was the result of a short pass to LaRusso from (Jverlin. These two played excellent ball throughout the entire game. The porkhide was worked down into scoring territory by big gains through the Mechanic line. As usual, every man on that powerful Toiler forward wall showed well. Manual ' s third and final touchdown came when Jcjlting Johnny Wynne plunged through the center of the line from the three yard stripe. The statistical side showed the vast superiority of the Purple and the Gray. Nine first downs were chalked up on the M. A. side, while the Mechanics could (jnly ])ush over two. A T H T, E T T C S 151 GENERALS DUMPED Pulling a game, which seemed to be deadlocked in a 6 to 6 tie, out of the fire, an inspired Toiler grid team swept on to a glorious victory over the Generals from Washington High by a spurring last minute rally which only subsided after the Purple and Gray forces had entered the promised land with the winning 6 points. Fading back to his own five yard line with only one minute to play, Crashing Bill Overlin let loose with a perfect pass which found its mark in the arms of Louis LaRusso twenty yards from the line of scrimmage on the 25 yard stripe. Louis ' s big hands brought the pigskin to his bosom and straight-arming several would-be tacklers, he dodged, squirmed, and raced 7i yards to the winning touchdown. After an apparent vigorous ' pep talk between the halves the Toilers taking the ball on their own 24, led by Bill Overlin, marched to the Wash- ington 12 yard line, where they lost the ball only to have the Blue and Red fumble, where Don Doyle. Artisan left tackle, gathered the porkhide in. After, a 5 yard penalty was inflicted on the Generals, placing the ball on the 7 yard stripe, Overlin, in two plays, entered scoring territory, making the score 6-6. 152 THE ARTISAN W 36 DEMOCRATS DUMPED Laughing at any and all jinxes, superstitions, etc., Manual Arts ' powerful football team ran rough shod over Coach Harry Edelson ' s Jefferson Democrat grid team in their final league game of the season, and came out on the long end of a 25-6 score. Manualites were given a scare though, when Floyd, shifty Green and Yellow fullback, ran 86 yards through the Artisan line to a touchdown in the opening minutes of play. From then on it was all Manual. The locals came liack though, and entered the promised land, when Bill Overlin dropped back and heaved a pass to Louis LaRusso, who tallied the first 6 points for the Artisans. The Purple and Gray ' s other touchdowns came later, with Overlin, Wynne, and LaRusso doing the principal ball-lugging ; the porkhide was sent over the gold line by the Artisan forces, when Overlin crashed over his own right guard past the last chalkmark from the five yard line. A blocked kick by John Scolinos, speedy center of the Toilers, was the lead- ing factor in the leading up to this thrust. Jim Slatter, on the receiving end of two passes, accounted for 12 points on the Toiler side of the score board. ATHLETICS 153 ROMANS RUINED Smothering the L.A. Romans by a score of 20-0 on Wilson field, stamped the Toilers as being one of the strongest teams in the city. The Romans, traditional rivals of the Artisans for more than a decade, offered an enormous amount of competition, and the game was far from lieing a pushover. It took the locals one quarter Ijefore they could get started, but when they did, nothing could stop them. The first Toiler score came when Overlin threw a fifty yard pass to Glue fingered LaRusso, who snagged the porkhide on the 1 yard stripe, and ran over untouched. Armando Sanchez was then sent in to place-kick the extra point. The next touchdown came in the third quarter when Johnnie Wynne plunged over center for two yards and six points. This play was made possible when Kelly, Artisan quarterback, caught a 25 yard pass from Overlin on the 12 yard mark. The final tally saw Sanchez go over from the one yard line over right tackle. This tally came after Slatter, all-city end, had plucked a pass from Bill} ' Overlin out of the air on the Blue and White 11 yard line. ilk THE ARTISAN V 36 It CROSS-COUXTRY TEAM Manual ' s suri risin - cro.ss-couiitr - team, coached In ' Charles Toney. upset pre-season predictions, and went on parade to win the southern league two-mile meet. It was a great trium]ih for a great team that started out the season comparatively slow, hut fast rotuided into shape to defeat Washington, Huntington Park, and Polytechnic in the southern league run. Losing only to Washington high in the second meet of the season, the Toilers went into their league championship after defeating Poly, in a dual meet; IJelmont and Garfield in a triangle run; and Marshall and Belmont in another triangular race. The Artisans showed greater com- pactness hetween their first and last runners in the final meets, and this undouhtedly was the deciding factor. In the all-city meet. L. A. ' s Romans won in decisive order over the 10 other schools. Garfield, defeated in a practice meet with the Toilers, took second place. Roosevelt was third. Fairfax fourth, and Manual fifth. Kent Root of Manual finished in eighth position to ]dace highest for the Pur])Ie antl Grey. Bill Rantin ran a splendid race to annex 15th. next in line for the Artisans. 65 runners were entered in the meet. Kent Root, Bill Rantin. Ed Oates. Ralph Lisowitz, Harry .-Vndow, Joe I ' igueras, Jack Cunningham, Allan Cummings, and .- rnett Hartsfield, were among the outstanding endtirance men on the Toiler squad. ATHLETICS 155 156 THE A ] : T I S A N W ' 36 -r .;- ' G. A. A. This semester of G. A. A. activities has been a most successful one. The athletic program began with hockey. The new girls were instruct- ed in the game and later, class teams were chosen and a play-off for championship ensued. The remainder of the term basketball was played. The girls of the upper classes were directed in natural dancing once every week. The association attended Playday at Belmont High School on Novem- ber 26. There were also other socials on the side. As a climax to the social calendar, the annual G. A. A. prom in honor of the football men was held on December 6, in colorful Hawaiian atmosphere. ] Iuch of the success of the G. A. A. must be accredited to the two sponsors. Miss Lockwood and Miss Davis. Miss Megowan directed the natural dancing. The officers this term were: Barbara Wight, president; Margie Robey, vice-president ; Edith Harvey, recording secretary ; Frances Ayers, corresponding secretary ; Felice Cain, treasurer. YELL LEADERS Keeping step with the usual gigantic Toiler spirit, Manual ' s leaders handled their assignments in the best of fashion. Cheering on two city champions and two league winners, the lung- busters, Dick Clatwortliy, head yell leader, Byron Pedersen and Jimmy Roberts, assistants, and Ed Davis alternate, revived a lot of old time spirit that was welcome. In line with the leaders was the entire student bod} ' support that un- doubtedl - aided in ])utting over one of the most successful seasons in Toiler history. ATHLETICS I57 PREP GRID CARNIVAL A ' ith more than 80,000 rabid grid fans shouting their appreciation, the annual P.T.A. football and band carnival climaxed the 1935 prep grid season on the greensward of the Coliseum, Wednesday, November 27. The six teams representing the Northern part of the city marched to a 26-13 victory over the six teams of the South. The most outstanding feature of the day was the Manual Arts touchdown against the highly touted city champions, Lincoln high, in the finale. On the first play of the twenty minute period, Louis LaRusso, on a reverse from Sanchez, raced 24 yards for the final touchdown of the day. From that time on until the closing minutes of play, the Toilers held the upper hand. In the first period, Narbonne and San Fernando each pushed over a score ; the latter converting to put the Northerners ahead. North Holly- wood then proceded to boost the Northern score by adding 6 points to the total against Bell. With Stonebraker and Clifford showing the way, Fairfax ran over a tough Torrance team to the tune of 7-0 leaving the L nionists in the lead by 14 points. Franklin then upset Fremont, southern league champs, 6-0. It appeared evident that the game with Lincoln only two days previous bogged down the Fremont offense and defense consid- erably. Venice and L. A. then battled to a scoreless tie. Manual and Lin- coln then finished up the afternoon. TOILERS TROUNCED In the first and only practice game of its season, the Manual Arts football team bowed in defeat to a fighting Fairfax Colonial squad by the score of 12 to 6. Trailing the Artisans by 6 points for the first three quarters, the Colonials, led by Johnny Stonebraker and Crashing Clifford, pushed over two touchdowns in the final period to upset the City Champs of 1934. The first touchdown of the day came when Slatter, M.A. end, blocked a kick on the Fairfax 12 yard line, Thomassin of Manual recovering. Johnny Wynne, fullback took the ball over the last chalk stripe on the second down. LaRusso failed to convert. Both teams looked green, and the fracas brought out the faults of both; this game proved somewhat eventful in that both teams went on to garner the league crowns of their respective leagues, Fairfax winning the Western league flag, and the Toilers ending in a tie for first place with Fremont in the Southern league. 158 T H E A R T I S A N W 36 CALIFORNIA POPPY Bv Jaxet Griffith Cups of yelldw sunshine.

With spirit and snap (not to say anything of the ginger snap) they looked forward to another corking good term, as they rushed about trying to get signed up with their favorite teachers. The largest class of scrubs for six terms enrolled — 737 in all. Wednesday, September 11 Dr. Wilson today welcomed the old students back to -Manual and greeted the new ones. Here ' s hoping the youngsters like their new home. Thursday, September 12 Clubs got under way today, and all activities were in full sway, as underclassmen made an early start to become future office holders. Manual Arts (the wheel of learning) didn ' t need much of a shove. Changes in the faculty were noted by the Manual Arts all-observing student body today. As we gazed into the crystal we saw Miss Smith and Miss Edwards traveling in foreign parts, while we caught Mr. Newton day dreaming (it must have been about ] Ianual) in his A ' enice High School history class again. Miss Peipers and Mr. Benedick, new Toiler faculty members, were cordially welcomed by the student body. Friday, September 13 Roland Andelson. editor of that grand little paper, The Daily, today chose a tentative staff which included : Bob Carlstrand, assistant editor ; Roy Adamson, news editor ; and Bob Waters, sports editor. Since the time of the earthquake this paper has been the joy of the student body and every pupil looks eagerly forward to it day by day. The new building have been rapidly progressing and we have a faint suspicion that they will ])e completed in time for us to enjoy them for at least a month before the next semester. Manual has substituted a three point grading system for the five point one. The new system includes recommended, passing and failure. Whether the new method is beneficial or detrimental, has been the argu- ment. Of course this means another battle of wits, so we ' ll leave it to our high and mighty debate class. 162 THE ARTISAN W 36 Monday, September lb Tardiness must cease and promptness prevail — such were the words of ! Irs. Peasley today in an appeal to the student body for stricter attendance records. In continuing she stated that no true ] Ianualite would let down his team on the football field, therefore let no ] Ianualite mar his school ' s good record by the inexcusable crime of tardiness. Tuesday, September 17 The Futurist class (mightiest of the mighty), showed their good judgment today when the}- unanimous!}- re-elected (Big) Bill McBurnie to the ofifice of President. With the aid of the other officers we know Bill will put over the most successful Senior term ] Ianual has ever known. AA ' ednesday. September 18 Miss Edna Jones, Manual Arts ' romantic traveler, today favored the members of the faculty with tales of her wanderings over the world, at a tea given in her honor. Thursday. September 19 Coach Sunny Jim Blewett today picked the varsity line up after he had given the big boys a week in which to practice. His choice looks mighty good to most of us. Friday. September 20 Flash ! Senior Bee election returns today made Johnny Thomassin pre.sident of his class, the Cadets. The first student body hop was held in Foster gym today. It was well supported by the student body and thru the grand eflforts of our sunny haired president (Fred Kennedy) it was a shuffling success. S C H O O L L I F E 163 Monday, September 23 Senior Forum tryouts took place today as the first Forum function of the term. Winners in the tryouts will constitute the members of this term. Tuesday, September 24 The debate squad today re-opened its activities with a fiery discus- sion of Mussolini Dictatorship. Gerald Patrick upheld the affirmative and Bernard Trabin the negative. The debate was very well executed in that it was done extemporaneously. It is only one of the many interesting de- bates to be settled. The first Spectator appeared today, and a very interesting one at that. It contained choice bits of Manual ' s best literature and poetry. Under the able supervision of Harriette Templer, its editor, the Spectator made a grand debut into the Fall semester. Wednesday, September 25 Out of eight fine young men that tried, at the first assembly of the term, Dick Clatworthy was chosen king. Byron Pedersen, Jimmy Rob- erts and Ed Davis were chosen his assistants. Friday, September 27 Manual varsity was today knocked for a loss when she was defeated 12-6 in the first practice game of the season with Fairfax. Manual held a steady lead until the Colonials scored upon her in the third quarter. Tuesday, October 1 Today the President of the United States came to our rescue when a holiday for city schools was declared because of his presence in our fair city.

School will again be resumed December 30, 1935. Saturday, December 14 Tonight the Baby Seniors had the time of their lives, as they toddled over the big nursery floor (Foster gym) and stopped with their mouths wide to admire the huge Christmas tree and all the pretty toys.

I took m - rope, and I took my gun, And just to see that things were well done I bought some poison and a razor too I ' d decided to use ' em, cause I was blue. Out in the park, there was a tree On the edge of a clifif above the sea. On a branch I hung the rope And it dangled out above the slope I put the rope over my head To hang by the neck till I was dead. Just to be sure there were no slips I put the poison to my lips. The razor was poised, and so was the gun One big slash and the deed was done. But the razor slipped, and cut the rope. And I went sliding down the slope The poison fell into the sea And killed the fish instead of me. The gun went ofif, and its hot lead Went whistling by — past my head. So here am I, a nervous wreck But too blamed tired to die, bv heck. FOURTEEN MONTHS ' VAGABONDING Bali, the enchanted island, where with a background of rich green ver- dure and slim tall coconut palms life goes on with age-old customs and great happiness! Thousands of carved stone temples and shrines nestle in tiny villages and dark forests ready to receive the sincere daily devotions of these adorable childlike people, in their dance and prayers alike. About 1000 years ago in Indo China a rare civilization reached its height only to vanish as in a dream. Towers, shadowed corridors, huge courtyards — all were stilled as a forest took root, pushing asunder stone columns and carved wall. Nature was claiming the glories of Angkor for her own: now bit by bit each precious stone is being returned to its rightful heritage. Gold! Gold! Everywhere the gleam- ing, fanciful, slim towers and mina- rets, bejeweled and sparkling with mirrors, rose higher and higher, then fast diminished to a narrow gold line. Under eaves little wind bells gently waved in the breeze bringing softest symphony of strange intervals, and as mysteriously died away. Huge giant figures, fierce and foreboding, arrayed in brilliant colors, stood guard at doorways. Long have the praises of this tomb been sung; long has the traveler waited with anticipation for the first glimpse of the Taj Mahal. Yes, it was thrilling. Stately rows of dark trees led one gently onward — the moon was full — a hush and calm hov- ered over all — the pale light revealed the never-to-be-forgotten dome which glistened and sang to me a won- drous tale. WITH EDNA JONES It felt like the top of a mountain. Leisurely she rose from her prone position; oh, what a jolt! She lum- bered along, this elephant of the Ma- harajah, with a slow rhythm, quite un- concerned as I clung tightly to the howdah. At last the tension was broken, and I felt like a princess in a fairy tale as up and up we climbed to the deserted palace of Amber, where 1700 years ago a royal court held sway amidst pomp and magnifi- cence. Benares, the sacred! Here for thou- sands of years the religious life of the Hindu has centered. Each dawn the pageant starts with hundreds of devout worshippers on their way to the Ganges. Magnificent sandstone towers and minarets form a gleaming background for the figures, clad in every hue, descending to the river. Standing in the water, human beings with deep sincerity solemnly recite their prayers as they perform old rites and ceremonies. . ' Si W? ' ■ i ' ' J Tr , ■- ' ' Alone in the desert they stand. With- out guide we wandered up the sand dune road; there, against the drifting clouds, old Cheops, the mighty pyra- mid stood, majestic, dignified, mys- terious. The moon shed her radiant light on its surface, now rough and broken by the ravages of time and man. In early morning, gentle Rameses came; across the desert I rode. Here in the secluded, hot, barren valley of the kings, the youthful ruler of Egypt, Tutankhamen, lay buried from 1500 B. C. to 1922. Another tomb just above, robbed by man long years ago, had guarded well this secret spot, and chance alone brought to the now appreciative world the wondrous glories of the precious, magnificent contents. 178 THE ARTISAN W 36 THE EPHEBIAX SOCIETY The highest honor any high school graduate can attain is that of being elected to the Ephel ian Society. The students in order to be selected to group must be outstanding in leadership, character, and scholarship. As only one person to every forty in the class is chosen, those receiving the honor are indeed fortunate. The nine students elected were : LaXelle Cain, girls ' vice president of the student body, Elsie Rethy, girls ' vice presi dent of the class during both the senior B and senior A semester; Elsie Mae Stevens, secretary of the student body; Jean Frampton, her scholastic ability; Bill McBurnie, president of the class during both the senior B and senior A semester ; Bill Starrett, president of the Scholarship Society ; Jack Sexton, student body manager ; Homer ' hite and Lyman LaTourrette, outstanding in scholastic work. F E A T L R E S 179 GIRLS ' SERVICE ORGANIZATION The new service organization, formed this semester under the guid- ance of Miss Hanna, is composed of the leaders of various girls ' activities throughout the school. The main object of this group, which has been temporarily named Girls ' Service, is leadership training. Distinctive service is the liasis for membership. Parlimentary order, problems of etic|uette, what constitutes a good leader, and what a leader should accomplish are discussed at the meetings. In this wa_ ' the members may improve not only their own leadership but will be able to advise the voungest girls who some dav will hold offices. 180 THE ARTISAN W ' 36 NATURAL HISTORY CLUB Never before in the history of the Natural History Club have we had such eminent speakers as we have had this term and are S ' oing to have in the coming term. Among the first speakers of interest were ; Miss Dorothy Nichols, cadet sponsor of the club, who gave some extremely interesting facts concerning the Algae sea weeds ; Miss Goldie Futuran, member of the club, who delivered an amusing talk on the habits and customs of the ants ; and Miss Cramer of U. S .C, who fed the club on cactus apples and cactus candy to illustrate her discussion on the ca cti and succulents. Ken- neth Stager, a former president of the Natural History Club, gave a very educational talk on l)ats and their habits. During the latter part of the term such authorities as Dr. John A. Comstock of the Los Angeles Museum spoke to the club on Insect Adaptations ; Dr. Muchmore told of many of the insect friends of man and how they are encouraged. Mr. Hill, zoologist at Los Angeles Museum, brought many shells to one meeting and related the interesting stories which went with each shell. Bats, birds, snakes, flowers, trees, insects, spiders, any phase of the plant of animal kingdoms may be discussed or spoken on during the meet- ings of the Natural History Cluli, All students and their friends, having any interest in any phase of the natural sciences, are cordially invited to attend the meetings of the Natural History Club which are held, with few exceptions, once every week of the school year. FEATURES 181 KIDNAPPED BY AN INDIAN By Jim Best Way back in 1865, my great-grandparents were stationed at an army post at Sante Fe, New Mexico, where my great-grandfather was an army doctor. It was at this place my grandfather was born. He had as a nurse a beautiful little Indian maid. It was this little maiden ' s first glimpse of a white baby. She took care of him and grew very fond of the little fellow. She often asked my great-grandmother, whom she used to call ' hite Squaw, if she might not have him as her own. Une day my great-grandmother laughingly said, Yes, Ewanda, you may have him, not thinking the little girl would take her promise seriously. Well, time went on and one day orders came to the post. The company was to be sent north. In those days it was a great task to move as every- thing had to be hauled overland by covered wagons. It meant a hard trip. My great-grandmother was very busy packing and didn ' t notice the absence of Ewanda and the baby. Time came to leave but the baby and Ewanda were not to be found. A searching party sent out to look for them. In an adjoining Indian camp a few miles away they found them hidden in one of the tepees, the bab} ' sound asleep in the little girl ' s arms. When asked why she ran away with him she said she was afraid the White Squaw might change her mind and take the baby away with her. 182 T H E A R T I S A N W ' 36 BIG HEARTED HERBERT A Comedy in Tliree Acts By Sophie Kern and Anna Richardson Presented by the SENIOR CLASS OF W36 CAST Herbert Kahiess Bill Starrett Robert Kalness Irving Berkenblitt Elizabeth Kalness Phyllis Myers Martha Dorothy McConnell Herbert Kalness Jr Lyman LaTourrette Alice Kalness Jean Frampton Andrew Goodrich Mark Niemann Amy Lawrence LaNelle Cain Jim Lawrence Roland Andelson Mr. Goodrich Bill McBurnie Mrs. Goodrich Alta Ruth Aston Mr. Havens Bill Hamel Mrs. Havens Velma Mende Prompter : Norman Parrish The Time — Now The Place — A Small Mid-East city Act I — Breakfast at the Kalness ' Act II — Dinner at the Kalness ' Act III — Scene I — The next day Scene II — Dinner again Senior Aye Play The Little Theater of Manual Arts saw one of its most enjoyaljle class plays in years when Big Hearted Herbert was given on January 17. The directing was perfect, the interpretation of the parts were un- equaled and the action was swift. Not once during the entire performance did the play have an amateurish affect, and strange as it seems, the aud- ience behaved themselves in a complimentary manner. Much credit for this sucessful play must be given to Miss Addison, the director, who spent many long and laborious hours directing the cast. High praise should go to each of the players for their splendid ]ierform- ance. This play is very well known, having been produced both on the screen and stage several times. The play centers around a tyrannical papa, who tries to rule his home with a dictatorial hand. He likes a plain wife and a plain home and plain food, and he gets it when mama starts a successful revolution for the betterment of her children. The love interests of the play is handled by Andrew and Alice who finally get married. The Futurists left a mark for fine entertainment in the presentation Big Hearted Herbert. FEATURES THE VOYAGE OF THE TRADE WIND By George Jacque 183 W ' J Jay Randoo, built like a bullock, stood upon the deck of the little Ketch Trade Wind. He gripped a mizzen shroud in one of his big hands while in the other near his belt he held a smoking pipe. The fresh quar- tering breeze blew his black hair to one side of his bullet-shaped head. As the aspect of San Pedro ' s harbor faded astern, Randoo ' s vividly tanned countenance showed every indication of contentment ; yet it was not true contentment; it was a kind of mental ease that a man experiences while his mind has. for a short period of time, forgotten a profound sorrow. Jay Randoo exultingly glanced about the trim ketch ; everything was shipshape and Bristol fashion ; his eyes wandered upon the perfectly bent sail that bellied out in the fresh breeze like the breast of Venus. This was something men were willing to follow. Then there was the moderater pitch and roll that gave the deepwater man true tranquillity. Then Randoo ' s ever changing gaze fell upon Willard Makey who was standing at the helm. Makey ' s almost sea blue eyes were fixed upon the little binnacle. He moved the wheel only slightly, up helm and down helm. Willard looked more like a seagoing fashion plate than a sailor. 184 T H E A R T I S A N W 36 Jay never would have tolerated such an attire from anyone else but Wil- lard Makey. Well, that was different. Willard never was and never would be much of a sailor ; he never bent sails Bristol fashion, nor did he make a trim splice. The swishing and murmuring water that ran over and under the narrow red boot-tops stimulated Randoo ' s spirits to the utmost. His deep- set black eyes gleamed with enthusiasm ; his lips parted slightly. Well, there, Willard, a nice sort of a life, aye? Willard looked up from the binnacle. It certainly is, and if this fine breeze holds out, I ' ll wager we ' ll make landfall at Christmas Island in less than thirty days. Randoo stared dead ahead, toward the horizon. x- ll enthusiasm and contentment left his countenance. If, he said in an under tone, If the wind holds out, an ' if we don ' t run int ' calms, and dirty weather like the pilot book says for this time o ' the year. Did yuh read the letter, Willard? No; but you told me something ot it. Jay slowly drew the letter from the pocket of his blue dungaree pants, and carefully unfolding the cheerless paper he walked to the lee of the trunk cabin, and seated himself upon the sheltered teak wood deck. Randoo inhaled deeply and read audibly : Copra Bay Christmas Island August 12, 1900 Dear Jay : Come at once to Copra Bay. I have been down with the fever I know not how long. Had I not lieen out of my mind most of the time I would have written sooner. Due to my ill health the plantation has gone to the dogs and that slow trad- ing schooner has discontinued making her quarterly calls. At this very moment I am growing weaker ; therefore I must close. Your Father, Julian Randoo Randoo muttered to himself, written about ninety days ago. By the way. Skipper, did you take aboard adecjuate stores while I was visiting in town? Aye, Willard. While I was ashore, I ran down an ol ' chandler who bed a little store ju st off Beacon Street. He tol ' me he was furlin ' his mains ' l an ' lashin down his wheel so I could get the grub chea] . He show- ed me some o ' the boxes marked ' use first ; ' he said that they was the old- est, an ' that he marked ' em that way so we ' d be sure t ' use ' em first. An ' then, I took a look in the holds of some o ' these boxes, an ' they were as FEATURES 185 shipshape as ever. Then there was others marked use last ' ! He said they were the newest, an ' that he marked em that way so we ' d know t use ' em last. But I didn ' t bother t ' look in these. Why. we got more stores than we could use on two voyages, an not countin ' tlie ones the ol ' man ' ll need at the plantation. ' O ' course. Randoo said in almost a whisper, it ' s hard t ' reckon how long we ' ll la ' over. ] lakey broke the silence. Speaking of stories reminds me of some- thing. There was a twinkle in his blue eyes. You see the westering sun meeting the horizon. ' ho did the cooking for the last voyage? Now, I was just thinkin ' o ' the same thing, W ' illiard. Lash the helm an ' come below when I call ; the grub ' II be steaming ' hot, said Randoo in his usual drawling manner. I ' ll say I will, skipper. ] Iakey sniffed the sea air. This salt air gives me a terrible appetite. Randoo scrutinized the ketch ; the sails were pulling and the sheets were taut. All was well. Jay emptied the ashes of his pipe over the lee- ward side where he stood. Then he immediately went below, to the compact little galley. Thus the days passed. And the ketch was driven onward by a con- tinuous fresh trade. The Trade Wind sailed over the long rolling swells of the Pacific and the Pacific was true to her name. On the twenty-first day of the voyage and while the westering sun was being enveloped by the sea-line. Jay Randoo ascended from the com- panion-way to the deck. This was not unusual practice because Jay liked to escape, for few minutes, the heat of the galley. Then too he enjoyed the beauty of the crimson sunset. It somewhat lessened the burden of his worries. This time, however, Randoo hadn ' t been susceptible to the heat of the galley, and he didn ' t see the sunset. Jay forgot the pleasures of life and he wasn ' t susceptible to the discomforts, for Jay had a troubled mind and a man having a troubled mind knows only one thing — trouble. Jay leaned against the companion-way and stared in illard ' s direction. All the while he puiTed his pipe nervously and thought, A ' on- der how I ' ll break the news to Willard — sort o gentle like?. God! I wish I didn ' t have t ' tell ' im about the — ' iIliard Makey lifted his eyes from the binnacle before Jay Randoo had finished thinking. How ' s the fare progressing? I ' m as hungry as a shark. Randoo was dazed and startled by the sudden question, the . . . the grub . . . aye, Jay tidied the sleeve of his blue jacket, why, the grubs comin ' along shipshape. 186 T H E A R T I S A N W 36 Hni-m-m, saitl Alakey duljiously. I never seen you look so strange before. Have you been drinking? Randoo with a sheepish look broke in. Now ... I was just thinkin ' we should reserve the stores so we ' ll have more tradin t ' the natives. I believe I understand, Willard c ried. You wish to ration the stores so it ' ll be possible to do more trading. Have you gone mad? Shut up! I ' m king of the galley on this voyage. After saying this Jay went below. That night while the Trade Winds wheel was lashed and after the two shipmates had finished their scant supper and while they remained seated at the tal)le smoking. Willard noticed by the flickering light of oil lami), the barometer uj on the bulkhead. He observed it more closely. Did you know the barometer has fallen, skipper? Guess we ' re in for a blow. Randoo took his pipe from his mouth. Aye, and mind your own business, I ' m navigator aboard the craft. A little later that night the ketch rolled under lifeless sails and slack sheets in a dead clam. Later, however, wind came — a light shifting un- favorable breeze which brought with it a choppy sea and a heavy swell. Randoo knew well the indications of dirty weather. The lines were shipshape and the movable gear was lashed; well, if a blow did come they were prepared for the worst. As the wind increased in velocity Randoo was certain they were in for a dusting. Jay held a course full and by the wind. He knew she didn ' t point very close to the eye of the wind, but he thanked God she was a fore and after-rigger and not a square-rigger, or as a matter of fact, a lugger. Jay was thankful they had the most efficient rigging for windward work. The ever growing strength of the wind gradually pressed the rail lower and lower till finaly it was smothered in foam and buried in sea water. Randoo didn ' t intend to reef. He knew there was no danger of capsized and that the rigging was strong and that the sails were in good shape. Speed he wanted, speed he had, he intended to keep it ; for ever since the twenty-first day of the voyage he knew a reason, other than that of his father ' s illness, for making the remainder of the voyage a rapid one. The wind increased in strength and the ketch labored batUy under straining sails which in due time were reefed. Finally the wind and sea became more unruly ; accordingly, sails were taken in and a drogue was immediately played out. Thus under bare sticks the wind and sea grad- ually drove the Trade Wind to the southward. Several days of nasty weather slowly passed. And the hope of making a rapid landfall almost vanished. FEATURES 187 The rain and sea alike found their way below ; most of it came through the leaky deck. The moaning and whistling wind seemed to drive the water through the seams of the rolling and pitching hull. The bunks were wet and cold. The clothes which Randoo and Makey possessed and wore were clammy. Even the tobacco was too moist to burn. The ketch rolled and pitched to such a high degree in the heavy seas that it was impossible to cook. The rationed food which Randoo gave out consisted mostly of water-soaked beans and rise. The efforts Jay and Willard underwent to chew this fare increased their fatigue and made them more irritable. On the twenty-seventh day of the voyage the wind and sea continued unabated. Randoo was in the galley rationing beans and rice from the open larder. Willard jumped to a standing position from his berth. In a rage he threw the book he had been reading at the opposite ceiling and rushed madly toward the open galley door. Randoo heard Willard approaching the galley. Jay held the two basins of rationed food in one hand while with the other he quickly closed the door and clicked the lock. He started to leave the galley. Willard blocked the door. Randoo saw that Makey was tense and angry ; there was hatred in his eyes. Willard Makey panted in a stiff and jerky discourse. I demand more food. I intend to get it. I don ' t like the way . . . you replied to my question on deck. Don ' t stare . . . like you never heard it before. You know the w-ay . . . you know . . . like someone with slack sheets, after I asked how the fare was progressing. Another thing ... I didn ' t like the way you answered me . . . when I asked if you knew the barometer had fallen. ' T don ' t like the large lock . . . you have the larder locked by. I tried to break in . . . couldn ' t find any tools ... it dawned on me . . . you locked the tools in with the food ... for a reason ... a damn good reason too . . . you didn ' t want me to use the tools. I never saw you look so strange ... as you do this voyage. Can ' t understand why you ration out the food ... or perhaps you don ' t ration yourself? Perhaps I ' m . . . the only one who is rationed. I wage . . . that many times . . . while I was at the helm . . . and you were below figuring out the position . . . you helped yourself to plenty of good tinned food. I searched the cabin many times . . . for the key to the lock on the larder . . . my eiiforts were in vain. ' T ' m hungry ... a few uncooked beans and rise . . . hell ' s fare . . . and I ' m sick of this infernal pitch and roll ... it almost throws me out 188 T H E A RT I S A N W ' 36 of my bunk when I try to sleep. I want ... to see land. Give me that key ! I am going to eat. I cannot bear the sight of you. jMakey stepped closer to Randoo. He struck the basins from Jay ' s hand. They fell to the deck with metallic clang while the beans and rice fell to the deck like hail. The rationed food and basins shifted from side to side with each pitch and rolled oflf the ketch. Williard cried in a weak command, Give me that key, and wait till your sick father is informed of this. Randoo clenched his teeth, his muscles were tense, his big hands tightened to giant fists. Suddenl - a leviathan of a fist under all canvas sailed squarely on ' illard ' s chin. Randoo ' s well placed, powerful blow sent ] Iakey sprawling to the deck. Willard breathed deeply ; not a move did he make. Jay surveyed Willard a moment while he muttered to himself. Hated t ' do it, but it was the only thing t ' do. Think he hates me — now that is mighty good. ant ' im t ' hate me till we make landfall — if we do. Jay quickly walked from the little galley to Willard ' s side. Randoo bent over his unconscious shipmate and carefully observed his chin — it was slightly bruised. Being certain that Willard would soon regain consciousness Randoo with the ease and grace of a tiger lifted his shipmate in his arms, and carried him to his berth. He made Willard as comfortable as possible in his clammy berth. Then he turned slowly and entered the galley. Randoo saw the scattered beans and rice and basins shifting about the galley deck with the motion of the ketch. Jake descended to the deck- on his hands and knees. He steadied a tin basin with one hand while with the other he picked the rolling beans and rice from the deck and depos- ited them in the basin. As the night grew older, the raging wind and sea gradually abated. By sunrise the wind fell to a dead calm, and the sea greatly subsided. The sun was shining on the freeboard when Randoo came on deck. The peace of the first decent night ' s sleep in many days was in his eyes. After he had carefully surveyed the ketch and found that the storm had done no particular damage he was more at ease ; but also, only more at ease. Randoo wished for wind, for if they didn ' t make a rapid landfall he knew the chances of seein g Christmas Island and his fever stricken father would be few, and perhaps they would never see earth and trees and flowers again. The intensity of the sun ' s tropical rays became greater as it reached its goal. The tropical heat scorched the windless ketch. The teak wood F E A T L; R E S 189 deck seemed as if it liad reached its kindling temperature. Below felt as if it were burning. At this time. Randoo calculated the Trade Wind ' s position for the first time since the first blast of the storm. Jay was amazed and per- plexed. Could it be possible? He checked his calculation for correction to the second. The Trade Wind had been blown over five hundred miles to the southward. Jay leaned over the chart. Hope glowed in his dark eyes. Hm-m-m not far from the Monakyii group and not more an two days sail at most, in a smart breeze. Heat and motionless air prevailed for days. On the topside the flame of a match burned straight upward without the least flicker. Beads of sweat evaporated as quickly as they dropped to the deck. In this inferno the water-soaked beans and rice began to rot. The thirty-sixth day of the voyage ended the Trade Wind ' s drift- ing on a glossy sea under sweltering heat. Late that afternoon shifting puffs of wind rippled ]5atches of the glassy sea. After a short period the puffs of wind grew greater in num- ber and in strength. Soon they united to a headwind. For the first time in many days sail was made and the ketch Trade Wind seemed alive again. The cool pufifs of wind filled her sails, and her rigging vibrated. A long port tack, then a long starboard tack ; from side to side the sheets were trimmed ; to and fro the ketch plowed. Not for long, how- ever ; the wind gradually veered abeam ; then astern. The favorable breeze sent the ketch over a choppy sea at a lively clip. While the crimson sun on the horizon reddened the water Randoo carried a small quantitv of rotten beans and rice from the larder in the galley to the deck and threw them overboard. Randoo gave out no more food that night, nor the next day, nor the day after. On the afternoon of the thirty-eighth day. the low tropical island of Fumara, in the Monakyii group, was sighted. The verdant ]:)alms and banyan trees, and a white line of breakers on the reef greeted their eyes. Soon they sailed through the narrow pass in the reef into the placid lagoon. Within the placid lagoon the almost motionless Trade Wind seemed unnatural without the rolling and pitching motion that the shipmates had grown so accustomed to. Nevertheless, the sight of a sandy beach lined with natives, and brown earth raised their spirits. They quickly crossed the lagoon to favorable anchoring ground. Randoo whirled the wheel up helm. The ketch rounded into the eye of the wind ; the sheets fell slack ; the sails flapped, and the blocks rattled. Willard ran forward and played out the hook. Once again the Trade Wind was held captive by mother earth. While Randoo and Makey were furling the sails some natives in 190 T H E A R T I S A N W ' 36 canoes, and a white man being rowed by natives in a whaleboat, put out from shore. Randoo and W ' illard leaned against the furled main sail and gazed about the panorama of the island. It was green with palms and plants and a few rugged hills gave the little island an uneven contour. The j)ungent odor of land and the fragrant odor of tropical lands made the picturesque island a true Eden for men fatigued from a long voyage. Randoo stood erect ; his dark eyes glowed with friendship ; his vivedly tanned face shone — it looked like tarnished bronze. His voice, for the first time in many days, had a note of warmth and kindness in it and he drawled in his usual manner. Guess yuh kind o ' hate me, aye, Willard ?• ' Randoo looked in Makey ' s direction. Willard appeared to be listen- ing ; yet he didn ' t answer — silence was his only revenge. Jay drew from his pocket a key. Here yuh are, Willard, here ' s the key to the lock on the larder. A short silence prevailed. Well, Willard, if }-ou won ' t sort o take the key, an ' have a squint in the larder I wish you would sort o ' come along with me an ' see it. Now, will yuh, ' illard? You know, there ' s sumpin ' right important down there. Makey ' s eyes narrowed; he couldn ' t hold his tongue a second longer. Something important! Why, I ' ll say something is important to you, and that ' s the stores 3 ' ou saved by, hm-m-m shall we say, by starving the two of us? You might bring some of the stores on deck. You may, you know, have some prospect for trading with the natives. Perhaps you ' re, very nicely, trying to get my hel]i — the blazes to you ; we ' re at Fumora Island now — not at sea, and I only hope that, that white man in the whale making for us is an authority ! Another thing, I ' m not going on to Christmas Island with you, regardless of your sick father. Randoo Knew that he had employed the wrong method to tell Makey the secret of the larder ; accordingly, he no longer rounded the bouy ; he ran it down. Now, Willard, the truth about the stores is, well, we ain ' t got no stores. We haven ' t any stores, Willard broke in astounded. That ' s it Mllard — not a grain 0 ' wheat. Randoo looked down at the deck. That d — blastered I bought the stores of. I should o ' knowed better than t ' buy stores from a d — - ol ' un- reliable chander. Why, I thought I was gettin ' a bargin. Willard had a new expression on his face — friendship and curiosity. Why didn ' t you tell me, days ago that we were short of stores, instead of saying you wished to reserve them for trading? And what about the larder? FEATURES 191 Well. Willard, you know the evenin I came on deck an you asked me how the grub was comin ' along. I think you said you was as hungry as a shark. Now, I was intendin ' t ' tell you, but when you. said that, I, just couldn ' t somehow. An ' then I sort o thought if you would kind o ' hate me it might be better ; why. you know when you hate someone how it kind o makes you straighten your shoulder ' s an ' you sort o ' get a little stronger. You now, W ' illard how it bellies your tops ' ls. Now, I ' d used all o ' the grub in the boxes marked use first ' ! An so, I broke int one o the boxes marked ' use last ; why the breeze was taken dead out o ' my sails. An , do you know, what was in that box — foul my mainsheet, if it wasn ' t rocks opened in sawdust; then I open another an ' it was the same. Why, I opened every box in the larder, an ' they all had cargos o ' rocks an ' sawdust. Why. ' s all we had left was two right small sacks o ' beans an ' rice. So. I bed t ' kind o ' kid yuv. an ' lock the larder. The whaleboat came alongside with a flourish. I say, shouted the thin English man in the sternsheets. He looked in Jay ' s direction. Is your name Randoo? Aye. Come aboard. The oldish man climbed aboard. Thought it was you by your rig. Came to pay you fellows a call, and invite you ashore ; but being Randoo ' s ere I better tell ' im about is father. Rather lonesome down ' ere. Well. I ' ad a little chat with one of the missionaries, aboard the royal mission schooner that put in ' ere about a week ago : ' e told me that the poor fellow ' as been down with the bloomin fever, and that the schooner left a missionary and plenty of medicine for the poor chap. No need to worry; I 1I wager by this time e looks better than you fellows. By jove, you chaps look run down!

FEATURES 195 A WORD OF THANKS Finished at last! I feel overjoyed; but then, on second thought, a little sad. Laying all sentimental feeling aside, I want to get down to the main purpose of this choice masterpiece. To Messrs. Greenup, Nelson, and Reeder go my heartiest thanks and appreciation for all the help and worthwhile advance they so will- ingly gave me. It is impossible to put in writing my appreciation for Ir. Hansen, my friend and adviser. Miss Jones and Mr. Schwankovsk}- did a wonderful job in inspiring the artist in their task. Much of the success of the art work is due to Dorthy Prater, our art editor. This year we have a new Artisan pressman, Floyd Younkin, who did a wonderful job of printing. Roy Adamson deserves the credit for the fine sports section, and we owe him a big vote of thanks. Eddie Bine did a swell job of collecting the ads and money for the Senior pictures. Before I go any farther, I want to thank Arthur Joquel for all the assistance he rendered as assistant editor. To Therone Bush, who did most of the makeup work; I offer my appreciation for everything you have done, for without you, it would have been impossible to publish this Artisan. Every editor has a stooge, one who cheers him up when he gets down in the dumps. This year my stooge was my very good friend, Kenneth McCourt, who did a wonderful piece of work in making things look better than thev reallv were. Sincerely, Bill Hamel, Editor. 196 T H E A R T I S A N W 36 I WONDER By Maurine Hart As I stand on the edge of this barbaric jungle, and gaze in awe at the mysterious monuments left by the vanished Mayana, I am stirred by strange emotions. ' ho were they? What were they? How did they feel? Surely they must have been even as you and I, for every mankind must run the gamut of the same human emotions. b - Oh, Maya warrior so valiant and bold! Was yours a fight for greed of gold ? Or did some nobler motive stir your soul? Was the cause of freedom your worthy goal ? Oh, Maya slave of yesterday ! ' ho only drudged in your piteous way When you toiled beneath the burning sun, At your horrible tasks that were never done Did you dream of love and joy and peace. And the time when injustice to mankind would cease: Oh, temple builders so stalwart and strong Who toiled and sweat the whole day long Did you just work from a sense of duty, Or were you striving to create beauty, That of your soul would be a part To live forever a work of art? Oh, Maya mother of long ago ! Who listened all day to childish woe What anguish you must have known When upon that sacrificial altar Your beloved child was thrown Even today we have this same condition Little children ' s lives are still sacrificed Through ignorance and superstition. You astrologers of old. As the mysteries of heaven you did behold, And studied them carefully one by one Did you just see the stars, the moon, the sun? Or did you see beyond it all The God who marks even the tiniest sparrow ' s fall ? FEATURES 197 THE NINTH ANNUAL PACIFIC SOUTHWEST SECTIONAL TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT Bv Jack Carlow Another September has come and gone, and with it another Pacific Southwest Championship Tournament. An atmosphere of international goodwill and sportsmanship, yet a feeling of intense and dramatic rivalry hovered over the courts at the beautiful Los Angeles Tennis Club, bring- ing together in competition the world ' s foremost tennis champions. This year ' s competition brought players from all corners of the earth. From England came the Wightman Cup team, consisting of Kay Stam- mers (conqueror of Helen Jacobs and Mrs. Helen ' ills Moody). Freda James. Nancy Lyle. and Evelyn Dearman. From France came the Davis Cup team : Jacques Brugnon, four times doubles champion at Mmbledon and hero of many Davis Cup matches ; A. ] Iartin Legay. third ranking player of France; and Christian Boussus. champion of France. From Spain came that Davis Cuj) player and Spanish champion. Enrique Maier ; from Czechoslovakia, the Davis Cup player and Czechoslovakian cham- pion. Roderick Menzel. The United States Wightman Cup Team was represented by : Mrs. Ethel Arnold, heroine of this year ' s matches with England, Caroline Bab- cock, third ranking woman here ; Elizabeth Deike. national Public Parks Champion, Jane Sharp, sixth ranking player, and Kay Winthrop, eleventh ranking player, Gracyn ' heeler, twelfth ranking player. The boys were represented by : Robert Riggs, national singles and doubles champion; Joseph Hunt, runner-up; Robert L ' nderwood, Pacific coast Freshman Champion. D. Laurence Nelson, and ranking players from the Southland ' s high school. The girls were represented by : Patty Henry, the newly crowned na- tional champion, Jacque A irgil. Southern California Champion, Jane Stan- ton, National Hardcourt Doubles Champion, Barbara ' inslow, and Nat- alie Hill. j Irs. Arnold met her old foe, Kay Stammers of England, for the championship of the women ' s division. Mrs. Arnold is a blonde, about four feet, eleven inches tall, Miss Stammers is a brunette about five feet, five inches tall, and is very beautiful. All the boys want to work her matches, so when she plays, no ball boys can be found. Mrs. Arnold has met liss Stammers in many championships; perhaps their most renown- ed meeting was in the deciding match in the Wightman Cup matches (Mrs. Arnold was the victor) . Miss Stammers was off form, so Mrs. Arnold hurried her strokes so that she would not have a chance to regain her game. Irs. Arnold stayed at the baseline and whacked awav with deadlv forehand and backhand for 198 T H E A R T I S A N W 36 a ])arade of placement aces, and won the set 6-1. In the second set, Miss Stammers added pace to her game and got away to an auspicious start by breaking Mrs. Arnold ' s service in the opening game. At one time, she led 4-3. and appeared to have a fine chance of squaring the match, but Mrs. Arnold was not to be denied, and she won the next three games for set and match, thereby keeping the women ' s championship. Wilmer Allison defaulted to Roderick Menzel in the semi-final be- cause he was ill, so Budge met Menzel in the finals. However, Donald Budge won the men ' s championship because Menzel defaulted, after trail- ing two sets to one. Donald Budge is A ' ery tall, red-headed, and about twenty years old. Roderick Menzel is also very tall, brown haired, and is built like Primo Camera. Budge plays beautiful tennis, with a marvelous backhand, while Menzel is a powerhouse, but plays very unorthodox. Bobby Riggs met his perennial rival, Joe Hunt. The match was not thrilling because both boys were afraid to take chances. Hunt won the first set 6-4, because of Riggs ' erratic service. Hunt led 3-4 in the second set and was on his own service, but the cool Riggs broke his service, tie- ing the set 5-5, and again broke Hunt ' s service to win the set 7-5. Be- cause of Riggs ' cool tennis, he won the final set 6-4, and also the cham- pionship. Both boys are about seventeen years old. Riggs is about five feet, eight inches tall, and Hunt is a blonde, about six feet tall. Both boys are capable of very fine tennis, and have won many junior and men ' s titles. ' yn Mace ' s pride, the national girls ' champion. Patsy Henry, was eliminated, so his other two disciples, Jane Stanton and Jacque Virgil, battled for the girls ' championship. Jacque came out on top 6-3, 1-6, 6-4, and although Jane played beautiful tennis, Jacque out-steadied her. Thus she won the championship. Jane is seventeen, and Jacque is eighteen. They are both about five feet, three inches tall. Jane is a blonde and Jacque is a brunette, neither are hard to look at. Both are very fine players, and both also went as far as the quarter-finals in the women ' s division. Wilmer Allison and Johnny Van Ryan met Donald Budge and Gene Mako for the men ' s doubles titles. After watching the youngsters take a 2-1 lead in sets, Allison took a brief rest, and then he and the veteran ' an Ryan showed the stuff that champions are made of by capturing the next two sets in a row, winning by the score of 7-9, 6-1, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3. It was a thrilling match, and it was Allison ' s net game that won, while Mako ' s service was miserable. Mrs. Van Ryan teamed up with Budge to defeat Nancy Lyle of England and Jacque Brugnon of France, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 for the mixed doubles championship. FEATURES 199 The most colorful player in the tournament was Jacques Brugnon. This forty year old Frenchman has heen playing major tennis for eigh- teen years. He has poker face when he is in a tight spot. He slaps his forehand and slices under his backhand ; he puts top-spin on his lobs, and serves flat service and American twist, facing the net. He has won the doubles with Henri Cochet and Jean Borotra at Wimbledon. He got as far as the quarter finals in the men ' s singles, the semi-finals in the doubles, and won the finals in the mixed doubles. Truly, he is a marvelous player and a real asset to amateur tennis. As a whole, the tournament was a success. As a contestant, I consid- ered the battles marvelous fun, and as even a spectator, the finest tennis exhibition I had ever witnessed. I gained very much experience by watch- ing those fine players, also a new stroke from Wilmer Allison, where you stoop yourself with your racket, when you have missed a setup. The greatest lesson for the contestants was a sign in the corner of the Center Court : The Important thing is not winning, but taking part : the essential thing is not conquering, but fighting well — Baron Pierre de Coubertin. 200 THE ARTISAN W 36 PLANS FOR A MODERN HOME By Ray Whalley Wm M ::. r ' • ' l-Of; mm ' • i - U4- i 1 R r ? ■ K 9 fl FEATURES 201 THE HOME OF THE FUTURISTS By Ray W ' halley In the past decade the homes of America have been modified by styles from other countries; as the Spanish villa type, rural French and English and many other styles just as popular. As yet the architects of the United States have not found a style of houses characteristic of America. The Greeks and Romans have their columns, the Spanish their arches, the English their thatched roofs and so on, but no American style. Recently a new style has come to the attention of the public, that is the modern steel and glass house with the walls of glass, round corners and corner windows. This house is still not strictly American as it seems to have originated in Europe but no other country has given it a more charming note than the architects of the United States. Two of these houses may be found in the Silver Lake district perched upon a hill, which site seems to suit this particular house better than a level plot. On the accompanying page is a design of one of these houses done in Architectural Drafting department illustrating a perspective, the two floor plans with a suggestion of furniture, two elevations not shown by the perspective, and plan showing the position of the house and garage on the lot. lore and more of these houses are being built, and all their refine- ments are a result of scientific research. In the old-fashioned house the temperature, inside, varied as the temperature, outside, and was a result of insuf ficent insulating of the walls. Now the air-conditioning unit regulates temperature inside to that of health temperature ; also another unit puri- fies the air taking out all the dust and soot injurious to health. These are just a few of the refinements which benefit the home owner and are a direct result of scientific research. Altho the idea of design was partially taken from European buildings, this modem dwelling is the first to fall into the modern speed of living of the American people a new step toward the American style home streamlined .... the home of the futurists. 202 T H E A R T I S A N W 36 FAMOUS LAST WORDS What this country needs a good five-cent exploding cigar.

The bearded face in the lower right hand corner signifies Wisdom, and the letter F in the cloud stands for the future and also the name of the outgoing class, the Futurists. The hand in the center of the page with the pick and mallet in its palm is used as a symbol for labor and also to rejiresent the ideals of Manual Arts. The eye in the upper right hand corner symbolizes the looking forward or ' ' anticipation of the new experiences which the Futurists. The spiral directly above the hand is symbolic of the vortex of the machine age which is coming to the outgoing students. The face in the upper left hand corner represents the inexperienced youth and the question mark above his face signifies the bewilderment he experiences on his future place in the world. , _ N A £ A- V ' o CyCx, y ' K M i .5 . dMk il; is-s: sl5|5
