The Constellation was Iniilt 140 years ago in a ALiryland shipyard, and also has the distinction of being the first of six frigates authorized by congress in the Act of March 27, 1794, to win honors for her country on the high seas. After the close of the American Revolution the Continental Army was dispensed with, for the prevailing sentiment was that the maintenance of an Army or Navy, was an extravagant and unwarranted drain on the public treasury. However, it soon became evident that naval armament would be nec- essary to protect our commerce on the high seas. Hence the Constellation was designed by Joshua Humphreys, a Quaker of Philadelphia, considered to be the ablest shipbuilder in America, and who became the first official naval constructor in the United States. Captain Thomas Truxton was selected to command the ship, and was appointed by the Secretary of War to superintend her construction. Li the meantime the United States entered into a treaty with Algiers, whose cor- sairs had hitherto been causing us great annoyance, and many politicians felt the need to complete the frigates originally authorized no longer ex- isted. Hut close behind this treaty, troulile with France began. Taking ad- vantage of the unprotected state of our commerce, her cruisers and pri- vateers were playing havoc with American ships laden with ]:)roducts from luu-o])ean pt)rts of nations with whom France was then at war. President Washington then declared the continuation of the work on the vessels. The Constellation was launched on Sei)tember 7, 1797. It was looked upon by residents of Maryland as an important event, and it is re- ]Hited that the keel was coppered in ten hours. Captain Truxton took jiossession of the Insurgente, a French frigate, one of the fastest sailing vessels in France, on February 9, 1799. This was the first capture of a government ship of any consequence ever made by the arms of the United States at sea since our country had been known as a nation. The Constellation ' s last summer practice cruise for Midshipmen ex- tended to Madeira. Upon her return to Annapolis she was placed out of commission in September, 1893, and towed to Norfolk for repairs. The following spring she was sent to Newport, Rhode Island, for duty as a re- ceiving sh ] and that Naval station has claimed her ever since. Thus, the oldest ves.scl in our Navy today, the Frigate Constellation, whose l)rilliant victories won distinction for our country over 135 vears ago, has become a historic recluse. ORcnniziiTions 14 T H E A R T I S A N W 3 7 PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE To the Midshipmen : So that ' s what you are, Midshipmen. Well, it fits you exactly. You could not have chosen a better cognomen. A Midshipman really is some- ])ody that has gotten started on his career but has not yet arrived. In the old tradition of the sea, the boys entered as youngsters at about 13 years of age. By 15 years of age, they had progressed so far that they were known as oldsters. Of course their duties were not very stren- uous, largely those of errand boys on the ships at sea carrying messages from the officers on the quarter deck. But the government was very solicitous for the welfare of these young hopefuls of the navy. They arranged for their education at sea with teachers for their studies. But studies under such conditions have never been very successful and therefore the Naval Academy at Annapolis was founded on land for the Midshipmen who later were to become ensigns and lieutenants of the navy at sea. The same reason is at the bottom of the foundation of our school system. We have to have schools withdrawn from the daily affairs of life where students may devote themselves to preparation for future respon- sibilities. I said the title fits you and that is true because you do not know as yet whether you will become ensigns, lieutenants, captains, or admirals. You cannot remain Midshipmen beyond a limit. The next step in your career beckons you. May your next venture bring you happiness, opportunity for service, and an abundant life. Albert E. W ' ilson. Principal. ORGANIZATIONS 15 Albert E. Wilson, Principal 16 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 W. Bruce Kirkpatrick Boys ' Vice Principal Since his arrival at Manual Arts last term, Mr. Kirk])atrick has won the respect and admiration of every boy who knows him. His achievement and ability in athletics has made him the friend of every sport lover in Manual. Mr. Kirkpatrick ' s initiative and enthusiasm while working with the students in all school activities is a great asset to Manual Arts. O R G A N I Z A T I O N S 1 Jessie Rav Hanna Girls ' ' ice Principal To Miss Hanna, our girls ' vice principal, goes tlie cre:lit for main- taining the lively interest in the social and extra curricular de])artnients of educaticMT that we now enjoy. Organizing many different types of actixities to meet the demands of different groui ' .s of students has kept the members of the student body interested in both scholastic anrl campus affairs. T H E A R T I S A N W ' 3 7 To the Student Body : Adhering to the time honored traditions estabHshed years ago. and yet attempting to introduce improvements and new ideas in student activity, the W ' 37 Cal)inet has just com])leted a term of student achnin- istration. It has been our opportunity to observe, in our various capacities, the fundamental need of scholarship and good fellowship qualities needed to make a leader. To those who aspire we urge the development of these two elements. We offer our thanks to both the student body and faculty for the spirit of cooperation and attitude extended toward all student activities this year. Sincerely, Ed Davis, President, Student Body. ORGANIZATIONS 19 A TRIBUTE TO EDWARD DAVIS By Gilbert Steed Nothing- gives nie greater satisfaction than to write this review of our ])resident s characteristics. As I do so I find myself realizing that his everyday acts of thoughtfulness were as natural as his cheerful personality. In looking over the past I see again during athletic events on Wilson Field a figure in white that radiated a magnetism that was as- tonishing ; one so powerful, that the very movement of his hands created a unity and harmony into a yell that will be remembered for a long time. Perhaps Davis ' experience as yell king explains the remarkable school spirit of this term — the inevitable student feeling under his lead- ership; something that just had to be. His success in making the BlO ' s feel at home so early in their new life, is just one of his original efforts that worked. When one attempts to analyze his pep and creative abilities, one discovers that it is because of his amazing versatility. He has leader- ship, artistic talent in both art and writing, scholarship, clear thinking, and above all, ])]unt honesty. No wonder everything he did was a smashing victory ! There are many achievements that are his, 1)ut I like one little in- significant incident that few know of. It was the day of the Washing- ton game, and an hour before, Eddie realized that there was no sign to welcome the rival school. Leaving more necessary work, he painted a sign to hang on the larn which read, Hello W ashington. Several asked him why he bothered to do it when someone else could ha e. His answer was one that I will alwavs remember. Manual ' s by-word is hospitality and as long as I am president I intend to do my share of expressing it. Simplicity of thought reflecting sincerity of character. This is Edward Davis, a true Midshipman ! 20 THE ARTISAN W ' 3 7 STUDENT BODY CABINET fiiARi.Ks Clatwouty, Boys ' ick Pkks.

It is the ambition of every fellow from the time he enters Manual to become a member of this organization. To attain this honor he must Ijecome interested in and take part in school activities, scholarship, and athletics. He must have a good character and l)e a leader among his fellow students. The Manual Knights have to live up to a well founded tradition. Ir. Kirkpatrick, the sponsor and adviser, is very much interested in the future of the Knights and is putting forward every effort to insure their success. Bill Corwin was elected president ; Bruce MacRae, vice-president ; and Kent Root, secretary-treasurer. The Knights are appointed automati- cally from the following offices and positions: Student l)ody i)resident, vice-president, boys ' judge, boys ' self govern- ment i)resident, scholarship society president.

The Manual Arts Tri-y is an organization that tries to create a finer type of girl and to stand for clean si)(jrtmanship and the highest ideals. This club is the high school branch of the Girl Reserves, which is the junior organization of the Y.W.C.A. The Y is the scene of many good times, as the swimming pool and adjoining rooms are always open for the use of the girls. The cabinet for W ' 37 consists of X ' irginia Ward, president ; Florence Armel, vice president ; Margarita Sanchez, secretary ; and Mae McDonald, treasurer. Much credit is due to Miss Swerdfeger, faculty adviser, and the out- going seniors for their assistance and cooperation throughout the term.

With an enrollment of 235 students, the ideal of Scholar- ship for Service was continued. Hugh MacBeth was chosen chairman of the committee, whose duties were to aid in any way possihle. other students who might need assistance in their school work. At the first meeting of the term the following officers were elected: Boh Swanhurg, boys ' vice president ; Bea Fuller girls ' vice president ; Maurine Hart, secretary ; and Roland Russell, treasurer. The faculty adviser has been Miss Sprenger. Scholarship Week was observed from October 26-30. During this week a supplement to the Daily was published under the editorship of Eleanor Klein. The highest scholastic honor a high school student can receive is to be a gold seal graduate and a life member of the California Scholarship Fed- eration. This honor is received by being a member of the Scholarship So- ciety four terms including one semester of each year. Thirteen members have already reached this goal and thirteen more are candidates for the awcU ' d, succeeding only if they receive the necessary grades this term. The first semi-formal dance of the term was held on Friday evening, October 30, and was called the Pumjikin Prom. The motif of Hallow- een was carried out in favors, decorations, and entertainment. Richard Halterman and Beatrice Fuller, acting as host and hostess, greeted the many guests who acclaimed the dance a very enjoyable affair. The members of the Mimerian Society during the past term, have striven to bring about a higher standard of scholarship and broader ideals of service on the part of the students of Manual Arts High School. 34 T H E A R T I S A N W 3 7 SENIOR FORUM The rounding out of the Winter 2 7 term was exceedingly successful, under the capahle leadership of the Forum ' s sponsor, Mr. Guy C Moore. Commencing with a capacity membership, the Society engaged enthu- siastically in the activities of the coming term. Sailing the seas of life, we greet the outside world with a steady hand on the helm of our Bark of Progress. We have built through the medium of good, hard work and sincerity of purpose, a foundation of approved theories of speaking and deUvery together with public repre- sentation and ethic of such subjects as jjolitical panel and discussio ns, the delivery of story telling, and the creation of greater interest in the varied subjects of school activity and problems. It is with a great deal of pride and enthusiasm that the Senior Forum sponsors the Declamation Contest, each term, for meml)ers of the student body, who, having memorized a selected oration present it in a fashion to be approved upon in values of poise, ability to speak, choice of selec- tion, and completeness of the oration. The winner of this contest is presented with a silver loving cup at the semi-annual installation banquet and at which time the future officers are installed. This organization is one of the oldest and most exclusive : As Man- ual grew, so grew this society. The backbone of any successful organization is due to consistent efforts of the officers and members. This term, a well organized and enthusiastic group led the Senior Forum to a new high in the minds of the Manual Arts student body. The officers of this term were: President, Bruce MacRae ; girls ' vice- president, Virginia Hays ; boys ' vice-president, Preston Teasdale ; sec- retary, Rea Holt; treasurer. Jack Carlow ; sergeant-at-arms. Bob Swan- l)urg. ORGANIZATIONS 35 BUILDERS OF LEADERS This was the main theme of one of the most active terms that the Junior Forum has ever had. The Forum hopes to huild leaders In teach- ing its memhers how to ])resent their ideas efficiently hefore a group. The Junior Forum did not waste any time this term, for within the first two weeks the tryouts had heen held. Then followed an active pro- gram which consisted of a get-accjuainted party, numerous dehates, discussions, and extemporaneous contests. Finally, Junior-Senior For- um Debate was followed by the elections of officers, and the semi-annual installation ])arty. The Forum also was re])resented in the annual B ' loat Parade of Manual. This semester marked the tenth anniversary of the Forum which was originated under Miss Anne Johnson ' s expert advisership. The youthful Forumites celebrated the anniversary endeavoring to make the Junior Forum Manual ' s leading organization. With such a successful and active term it is evident that the Junior Forum ' s officers were of fine ability. Headed by Bob Frieden, as presi- dent, the cabinet which includes George Weller, vice-]M-esident ; Mary Bedrosian, girls ' vice-president ; Rose Bine, secretar} ' ; and treasurer, Dick Rister, worked diligently throughout the term in order to prepare the Forum ' s activities. 36 THE ARTISAN W ? 7 WORLD FRIENDSHIP CLUB Realizing that ignorance is one of the hasic causes for war and misunderstanding, the World Friendship Club is giving students an oppor- tunity to become acquainted with foreign nations and their attitudes, the American foreign policy, and the international problems confronting the world today. Highlights of this semester ' s activities include an inspiring address by Dr. E. Guy I ' albott of the National Council for the Prevention of War, on Youth Facing a World Crisis. Coach Dean Cromwell of U.S.C. and Foy Draper, world famous track star, were interviewed concerning the Olympic Games as an aid to international cooperation. Edgar Hesser, former president of the club, and recently returned from the ( )ricnt, talked on China and Japan. Students from other lands are especiallv invited to join the club. From the membership has come much valuable information. Arniond Paolino discussed Italy and Fascism. Julia Jensen told the club of Panama. Fran- cisco Duenas spoke on Ecciuador. The result of these contributions from foreign-born students has been a broader knowledge and a better under- standing of other peoples. This is acc(im])lished by programs featuring authoritative guest speak- ers, student debates, and general discussion on current affairs. Hie officers this semester have been Mary Hastings, president ; Jack Carlow, program vice-])resident ; Mary Ciilbert and Armond Paolino, pub- licity managers; and Ik ' ssie Glabman, secretarv-treasurer. ORGANIZATIONS 37 GIRLS ' AND BOYS ' COURTS Tlie Girls ' and Boys ' Courts play a very important i)art in the organ- ization of self-government at Manual Arts. The court hears the cases of those, who hecause of disobedience to the laws of the school, have been arrestetl by the self-government. At the hearing the offender with the assistance of an attorney is given a chance to plead his case before the court. The court is made as democratic as pos- ible in that the judge is elected liy the student body, and that most court trials are open to visitors. This organization was not established alone to punish students, but to try to help them. The girls ' judge for this term was Betty Pershing. She was ably as- sisted by a clerk, Jeanne Fasmer ; bailiff, Margaret Worth; sergeant-at- arms. Doris Dow ; prosecuting attorney. Mary W olters ; and defense at- torneys, Cathyrn Castle and X ' irginia Hayes. The boys ' judge for this term was Harold Fine. He was ably assisted by a clerk. Jack McLean; bailiff. Morris Kawm ; sergeant-at-arms. Earl De Lashmit ; prosecuting attornev, Philip Hurst ; and defense attorneys, Jack Carlo w and Alex Robertson. 38 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 MERIT BOARD One of the most important and active organizations at Manual is the Merit Board. This board is not a court Init is an advisory unit and helps re-adjust l)oth old and new students at Manual. The officers for this term v ere Bill Corwin. chairman; and Bob Kemp, vice-chairman and Senior B representative. Ed Davis, student body president ; Joy Davis, girls ' vice-president ; and Chuck Clatworthy. boys ' vice-president, complete the personnel of the board. The board appreciates the help that the advisers. Miss Hanna, Mr. Kirkpatrick and Mrs. Marshall, have given them. MANUAL ' S ATTENDANCE BOARD The Attendance Board of Manual is made up of students who are interested in the betterment of their school, and the welfare of the students. Members of the Girls ' Attendance Board are : Lorraine Heiberg, l resident ; Elaine Hall, Peggy Laney, Shirley Kaufman, Evelyn Marshall, Charlotte Moeller, Betty Pool, and Bette Turner. Members of the Boys ' Attendance Board are: Bob Swanburg, pres- ident; Albert Anderson, Allan Brown, David Coale, Joe Derse, and Philip Hurst. The sponsors are Mr. Walker and Mrs. Peaslev. J ORGANIZATIONS 39 DEBATE SgUAU ' ith four veterans of last year ' s squad to form the nucleus around which the team was huilt, the Manual Arts Debate Forum, under the cap- aljle direction of amial)le Mr. Moore, passed a very successful season. Hugh MacBeth, manager of the debate scjuad, ably arranged the cur- rent term ' s program. The first league debate was with Beverly Hills on the much-discussed problem. Resolved : That the munitions industry in the United States should be nationalized. Manager Hugh MacBeth, and Captain Alex Robertson upheld the negative, losing a close 2 to 1 decision. ( )thers who debated this proposition were Jack Carlow. Jack McLean, Mary Gilbert, Melvin Resse. Jack Manahan, and our talented publicity manager, Nat Malerstein. Other topics discussed in practice debates were, Compulsory Mili- ary Training with Frank Shaw, June Alberts, Norman Calway, Gene Franklin, Joe Derse, and Clotille Archer participating. Limited Inheri- tance and Income, a subject of paramount importance today, was ex- pertly debated by John Shafer, Bob Westphal, Ben Swatt, and Harold Fine. Government Control and Operation oi Electric Utilities, a timely proposition of great controversy, was skillfully handled in practice de- bate by Francis Lomas, Rhoda Bucans, Charlotte Moeller, Goldie Futoran, Donald Wilkins, and Pauline Levy, in preparation for the debate tournament to be held by the Lhiiversity of Southern California at Bovard Auditorium. The Manual Arts debate sc uad this term once again proved itself one of the strongest members of the Southern California Debate League. 40 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 I IjIKls ' Ski.f CjU EKN.MKX- Boys ' Self Government Council ORGANIZATIONS 41 MANUAL ARTS FACULTY Albert Edgar Wilson, Principal.

Due to insufficient funds the launching of this vessel did not occur until three years later at Hartt ' s Naval Yard at Boston, Massachusetts. The famous frigate was designed and constructed under the supervision of Joshua Hum- phrey, a prominent ship builder, and the original plans have been pre- served and are still in existence. In the beginning it was armed with 10 long twelve pound guns on her quarter deck, and 28 twenty-four pound guns on her gun deck. All guns were cast in England and bore the letters G. R., the initials of King George. The hull was made mostly of oak and pine. The metal and copper for her hull was furnished by Paul Revere. The superstition dominant at that time was that the keel must be packed in red wool — leaded. At the time of her construction there was a shortage of wool, and no red could be purchased ; however the Hum- phrey girls had two beautiful red capes which they were willingly cut into strips, which supposedly remedied the difficulty and made the Con- stitution a lucky ship. The Constitution was launched September 20, 1797, the same date Columbus was cheered on the Santa Maria by a flock of wild birds. Presi- dent Adams was present in honor of the event. They cleared for sea on July 22nd. The first month was spent by the crew accustoming themselves to their new surroundings. Later the boat was sent to join the squadron patrolling the Westward Islands. About this time we were having considerable trouble with Jussuf Caramalli, who with his band of brigands were terrorizing the merchants on the high seas, and was receiving considerable sums of money from F.ngland and France in return for unmolested trade. The Constitution and the Philadelphia along with a number of lighter vessels were assigned to force blockade at the port of Tripoli, so effectively that the people there would have no communication with the outside world by sea. After five successive battles, the Constitution succeeded in bombarding Tripoli so successfully that great praise was given by the Naval Department. In later years the Constitution became the most famous of all our vessels, and acquired the title of Old Ironsides because of her continuous victories and honors she bestowed upon our country. Her history is one of the most interesting in our Navy, and is told repeatedly everywhere. Her one-hundreth anniversary found her escorted back to Boston by the Atlantic Fleet and she was placed in the first dry dock our country ever erected. She is still there, a fitting monument to the fine men whose devotion to our flag laid the foundation of the United States Navv.

That is what the mighty seniors thought of the Midshipmen-to-be in February, 1934. They didn ' t know however that our class would produce some football players who would make Manual gridiron history. They didn ' t know that it would be with the help of these lowly scrubs that their class would be the one to achieve the distinction of having city football cha mpions in their senior term. These boys, Scolinos, La Russo, Mathews, Gland, Dennis, and others, are still making Manual football conscious. Throughout the tenth and eleventh grades, the Midshipmen wit- nessed the demolishion of the old buildings, and the rise of the new. Structures, weakened by the earthquake, finally gave a last shake and shiver and fell by the hands of men. Gone are the traditions of the old Manual only sentimental memories remain. The Middies watched new traditions rise along with the new buildings, hoping the old standards of Manual would be regained. Several members of the A ' 37 class were already beginning to show leadership. Ed Davis, embryonic student body ])resident began to show some of his far-famed pep and enthusiasm by becoming a yell leader in his All year. Margie Robey and Irma Rethy, the inseparable blanket and flower girls, became well known in the 11th grade by their leadership in Tri-Y and in G.A.A., each one holding several ofifices in these organizations. In every picture of the self-government that appeared in the Arti- san since the BIO term could be found the face of the law enforcing person, Franklin Maxwell. He became vice president of this organ- ization through his interest in this work and finally was elected president. Midshipmen coming to the front in athletics in their junior year were Kent Root. Marvin Wallace, Gene Farley, Frank Shaw and Jack Cunningham in track ; Bruce Mac Rae, Jerry Wallace, George Lee, Junior Bevis, Bill Corwin, in gym team ; Frank Shaw in basketball ; Earl Barker, Ned Mathews, Kim McCune, and Rudy Blanchard in class bee football. Time goes quickly and in a short time English examinations were over and the first step toward the mighty senior terms was taken. Senior Bee The long-awaited Senior Bee term finally arrived and the class started to become organized. The sweater colors chosen by the Mid- shipmen were navy blue and white. The words to our class song, Ship- mates Forever, were written bv (leorge Lee and Kav Schaeffer. SENIORS 81 When the officers were elected, Jimmy Shaw was made Skipper of the class. The two vice-presidents were Irma Rethy and P)ruce McRae ; secretary, joy Davis, and treasurer, Dave Klein. CADETS RUIN GOBS. 4-1. This was the blaring headline in the Daily that met the eyes of meek Senior Bees the day after Senior Day. The first bitter pill was taken bravely but all made a solemn oath to defeat the next B12 ' s. Not recognizing the trouncing received on Senior Day. the Senior Bee girls accepted the challenge of the Cadet girls to a basketball game. The day of the event came and sweet revenge! The Midshipmen girls, namely ; Irma Rethy, Verginia Ward, Ruth Carrol, Helen Otte, Margie Robey and Betty Nance, beat the Senior Ayes by the decisive score 14-2! Were the Cadets surprised! The picnic at South Park was the next event on the Middie calendar. The boys played the girls at baseball and even with several handicaps the boys won as usual. Just as the girls were showing signs of disgust being at the short end of the score, one word was mentioned that sent everybody scurrying in one direction. EATS ! Delicious big hot dogs with lots of pickle and mustard, and ice cream cups were handed out to hungry seniors by chief chefs Marian Maile, Paul Dragna. and Dave Klein. After all the food was consumed, the crowd began to break up until finally everyone went home satisfied with another successful senior event always to be remembered. The annual no shave week which occurs each spring had an un- expected twist as John Scolinos, competing in the event, sued the A.B.S. on the charge that he was rooked. He sued the A.B.S. because he figured that he should have received first prize even if his whiskers were false as nothing was said about this in the qualifications. The case, which was conducted as a regular trial, attracted very much attention and the regular courtroom was adjourned to room 265 in order to ac- commodate the crowds that were anxious to know the outcome of this super spectacle. After much arguing by the attorneys of both sides the jury finally gave their final verdict in favor of the A.B.S. and Johnny was rooked again. The Seaweed Sling. This was the nickna-.iie that was bestowed up- on the Senior Bee dance, which turned out to be a gala affair. Upon entering the gym through a likeness of a real ocean liner ' s door, was seen the huge blue and white anchor. The nautical theme of course was carried out in all the decorations. The end of the first term as might}- senior came quickly and all too soon we found ourselves with a report card in hand, heading toward the beaches for a summer of loafing and thinking what the new student body cabinet would do next term. The cabinet on the other hand just a bit 82 T H E A R T I S A N W 3 7 worried also as to their future duties. The cabinet was : Ed Davis, Stu- dent Body President; Joy Davis and Chuck Clatworthy. the two vice- presidents; Emily Henderson, secretary; June All)erts and Franklin Maxwell, self-government heads; Betty Pershing and Harold Fine, the two judges; Richard Halterman, Scholarship president; Dave Klein, manager ; Jane Corbin, Girls ' League prexy ; and Eddie Mills, A. B. S. president; Jack Kimble, Daily editor; and Joe Sanz, cadet major. Senior Aye The Senior Ayes began their final term with strong spirit. Bruce MacRae was elected president. Bruce truly proved his worth the prev- ious term by working hard and faithfully in the office of boys ' vice- president of the class. The vice-presidents selected by a close vote were Margie Robey, girls ' vice, and Eddie Sorenson boys ' vice. Ruth Kaz was chosen secretary. Bill Hembacher, treasurer, and Wayne McComas, Artisan editor. The first big class event was the picnic held as usual at South Park on October 7. A pie eating contest was the outstanding feature of the picnic. Each boy entered had a girl helper who held the pie while the fellow tried to slurp it up without the use of his hands. After the contest it was dift ' icult to find out the identity of the winner as all contestants were smeared with red berries and they all looked alike. Finally a few layers of red ' ' goo were cleared away to discover the winner, Maro Matsuuro. He was given the prize— another pie. Senior Day, awaited with anxious determination by both classes, finally arrived. On November 19, the B12 class officially became Senior Bees and blossomed forth in green and white sweaters with the ap- propiate title Archers. The end of assembly period found many Senior Ayes looking a l)it dejected. Many excuses were made but the fact remained that the Archers, nicknamed Cupids, had won l:)y the score i-Z. The Archers are superior athletically but it remains to be seen who excells mentally. The Senior Aye dance, the last social function of the Midshipmen class was held Friday night, January 8. The gym was appropriately decorated and all Senior Ayes were thoroughly satisfied with their last showing as an entire class. Tempus fugit. In a very short time we seniors were walking up tile aisle of Bovard Auditorium for the last time students of Manual Arts. Graduation means two things for the Midshipmen class : the end of carefree high school days and good times, and the l)eginning of independence. It is also beginning of a future that holds unexpected pleasures and disai)i)()intnients. What will that future unfold to you? SENIORS 83 SENIOR AYES 84 THE ARTISAN W ' 3 7 THE MONITOR By Violet Hughes Two months after the l)eginning of the Civil War. the South, recognizing her inability to build and man a navy, was virtually forced into trying the ironclad, and began work on the Merrmmc. News of this alarmed the North, and three or four months later the Department signed contracts for three ironclads. The smallest of these, the Monitor, was to be completed in the almost unprecedented time of 100 days. As the navy departments of the North and South were kept fairly well informed of the progress made by each other, there ensued a race in shipbuilding of grave importance, in which the North had the advantage of superior shops and mechanics, the South of a long start and intensity of feeling, stimulated by the constant presence of her enemy. The South won the race by half a day, and thus was able to destroy two staunch old sailing ships. If the Monitor would have been delayed another week in reaching Hampton Roads, the whole character of the war might have been changed. After careful consideration, and approval of plans by Congress, the Monitor was soon begun. In fact, the Monitor ' s keel-plate was passing through the rolling mill while the clerks of the navy department were drawing up the formal contract. The Monitor was launched January 30, 1862, and was turned over to the government on February 19, 1862. The inventor of the Monitor was John Ericsson, born in Sweden in 1803. His strange craft showed nothing less than genius in its adajita- tion to the service required. She was of light draft in order to navigate the shallow bays and rivers of the southern states. As light draft made iuTpossible high, armored sides, her exposed surface was small, but heavily armored, and thus invulnerable to any guns of this period. A revolving turret was introduced that she might use her guns in narrow streams where maneuvering would be impossible. Engines below the water line, and ])ropeller and rudder ] rotected bv a wide overhang, were other elements of strength. She had an armament of two 11 -inch Dahlgren guns, the muzzles of which ran out through ports placed side by side. The men on the Monitor had to meet all kinds of dangers, as her first ])ractice crui.se was her first chance at heroic warfare with the southern Merrimac. At the end of her battle with the Merrimac the Monitor had the fcjllowing points of distinction to her credit: She had saved the Minnesota, the Roanoke, and the St. Lawn-ence. She had pre- vented the blockade from being broken at Hampton Roads, and insured the su])remacy of the sea to the North.

CLUBS 89 JAPANESE CLUB The Japanese Club of Manual Arts, with two terms of success he- hind it, now ranks as a thriving organization of the school. Though it is only a year old, the club has made steady strides as a result of whole- hearted interest and cooperation from its fifty or more members. The club is trying to make the following four aims a living reality : L To create a better understanding between the Japanese students of Manual Arts and the rest of the student body. 2. To create a spirit of amity among the Japanese students. 3. To be of help to the students by bringing out the finer points of American and Japanese culture. 4. To be of service to the school. A red-letter day for the club was the annual Rally Day parade held at school on November 5th. when the club entered their float. This entry marks the first time that the Japanese students as a whole have con- tributed anything to the student body activities. The float, typical Japanese scene of color and beauty, carried gay-clad maidens - ' i .kimonas. and a Beat Fremont theme. The judges ' unanimous vote awarded the coveted trophy to the club. The adviser, yirs. Murphy, has truly been an inspiration, and the club feels that it. is her guidance and help that has taken the club to its club feels that it is her guidance and help that has taken the club to its The capable cabinet for the term included : Yoshiko Arimatsu, presi- dent; Fumi Takata, girls ' vice-president; Ken Osajima. boys ' vice-presi- dent; Miyeko Kajioka. recording secretary; Chieko Moritani, corres- ponding secretary ; Masaji Morita. treasurer ; and Jiro Yamanaka, his- torian. 90 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 RADIO CLUB MOVIE CLUB ANGLERS CLUB STAMP CLUB CLUBS 91 SECRETARIAL ASSOCIATION HOME ECONOMICS CLUB SALESMANSHIP CLUB ACCOUNTANCY CLUB 92 THE ARTISAN W37 GKKMAX il.li; SPAN ISM CLUB LATIN CLUB FRENCH CLUB CLUBS 93 m m-B : «, m:i- •■ I. l ' nH BVNI ■H S B HH JS H SH ■u SjL 1 J BhHB Pb - ' - ' mHB 1 ' iSfe i lBPp ' % . nil B I ' i In V 1 .1 Vgs f% K- J r|. ™ ' ' ' M. - mki: c- .. .. xr- Jjta - . i ' id M VH mmmBM BLJ s ' i Amt ?i mj mi jU .| Mgl£ PL HLiL AlJlJkKSS CREW CHEMISTRY CLUB GRAPHIC ARTS CLUB PRESS CLUB 94 THEARTISANW ' 37 GRAPHIC ARTS CLUB The Graphic Arts Cluh was organized in Septeml:)er, 1934. with Mr. Reeder, Manual hindery teacher, as its sponsor. At that time only six or seven boys in their third term of bookbinding were allowed to join. Since then the entrance requirements have been changed until at the present, students in their second term of either print shop or bindery may join; l)ut since the beginning, the purpose of the clul) has been the same. This purpose is to inform the members, now 20 serious minded Graphic Arts students, of all new materials, designs, and machinery used in the publish- ing industry. This is done by taking several trips each term to selected printing and binding establishments throughout the city. There, the mem- bers are shown through the shops and the type of work done there is ex- plained by experts in this line of business. The first trip of the present term was taken in November and the place visited was the Spiral Binding Co. located in the Bendix building. The Graphic Arts Club has been prominent in social life at Manual in its two years of existence. For example, it has entered a float in each of the past three Annual Rally Day Parades, in the last of which they received second honorable mention for their colorful entry. The officers for the present term are : Clarence Gervais, president ; Max Houghtaling, vice-president ; Seward Pollock, secretary ; Burley Carl- son, treasurer ; Gerard Williamson, sergeant-at-arms ; and Talmadge Creed, publicity manager. PRESS CLUB The Press Club was organized to bring together all students inter- ested in the furthering of good journalism. Reporters from the big newspapers of the city speak to the members and explain the fine points of newspaper work. Johnny Whitehead, assistant to ]ml)licity director at Universal Studios, was the chief speaker of the term. He explained to the club the methods of Hollywood i)ul)licity release and other fine points of the Inisiness. The officers of the club this term were; Bob Skibel, president; ] )()b Calloway. ice-i )resident ; Nathaniel Silver, secretary; Seymour Be- lond, treasurer ; Bob Christensen. sergeant-at-arms ; and Mr. Walterhouse. sponsor. CLUBS 95 GERMAN CLUB Twenty-two years ago the German Club was organized. As most of you probably know. German was not taught during the war. The German Club really began its activities four and one half years ago and now it is one of the outstanding clubs at Manual. The cabinet for this term consists of Charles Savage, president ; Arthur Reiser, vice-president ; Bessie Glabman, secretary ; Norman Wieg- mann, treasurer. Mrs. Goodwin, our s])onsor, has arranged for us many worth-while entertaining programs. Several professors have spoken to the club in the German language and usually their talks are illustrated. The club has also present several plays and programs where German songs, stories and music have played a great part. The German students have reached the point where they feel they could bring the German language and culture before the whole student bodv. They have been able U) do this through a supplement to the Daily. NATURAL HISTORY CLUB With the study and ajjpreciation of nature as its purpose, the Natural History Club has continued to present programs of special interest to science students. The semester ' s activities began with a motion picture on fire pre- vention and forest conservation. This was accompanied by a talk by Mr. Pemberton, assistant Forester and Fire Warden for Los Angeles County, and held in the Little Theatre in September. Another outstanding presentation was a talk l)y Mr. Donaldson, curator of reptiles at U. S. C, who brought many live snakes as illustra- tions. He also gave a demonstration of first aid for a snake bite. Other features of the semester ' s activities included a talk on pre- historic reptiles by a Manual student, and two excursions, one to the Los Angeles Museum under the guidance of a Museum oiTicial, another to Griffith Park Planetarium for demonstration and lecture. Officers for this semester working in conjunction with the president, Ed Beitz ; Mary Hastings, program chairman ; Ed Raby and Sylvia LeVine, pub- licity ; June Hastings, secretary. 96 THE ARTISAN W ' 3 7 THE U.S.S. FULTON THE FIRST By Violet Hughes The world ' s first steam-driven war vessel was given the title of Fulton the First, and was the hrain-child of Robert Fulton. The Com- mission for the defense of New York approved the plans, and pledged $120,000 for the enterprise in January of the year 1814. Congress, soon interested, assumed the further financial burden ; thus the vessel became a part of the American Navy, before her comple- tion. David Porter, famous for his deeds in connection with the Essex, was the man assigned to command ' her. European journals were the first to acclaim the steam battery as a modern marvel, and it was the subject of glowing and exaggerated reports in England and France. After several successful trials between June and September, 1815, she was assigned to the duty of station ship at Brooklyn, where she rendered the remainder of his naval service. Although her naval career was brief the Fulton the First is none the less deserving of fame as the product of Robert Fulton, but also deserves distinction as the forunner of the steam navies which immediately began to appear. Aside from her man-o-war capabilities, her performance as a steam vessel was a mechanical triumph. The ship ' s machinery is described by Mr. Montgomery, an authority on shi]) building. The engine was an inclined single celled affair with a 4-inch bore and 5 foot stroke, directly connected to a paddlewheel, which it turned at the rate of 18 r.p.m. The boilers consisted of single cylindrical shells, 8 inches in diameter and twenty-two inches long; containing an enlarged tube, about five inches in diameter which formed the furnace. The furnace extended about halfway through. The boiler was fed salt water fuel, which was considered the proper fuel at the time. The frigate Fulton was quoted by French Academy of Science as one of the most admirable inventions which the mechanical genius had been able to produce, even when reduced to her most simple means of defense. On February 24, 1815, Robert Fulton died. He was 50 years of age and his death was supposed to have been caused by overwork on the con- struction of his steam battery. Fulton had dubbed his vessel Demologus, in his original ])lans, but upon his death she was christened Fulton the First. Undoubtedly the Fulton was a mechanical marvel in engineering, constitution and ])erformance. Destruction of the Fulton a few years later by a magazine explosion deprived our country of its only power frigate. STORV UERSE 98 THEARTISANW ' 37 YOUTH HOSTELTRY IN GERMANY By Helen Miller Bailey I was at the International Youth Hostel in Altena, Westphalia. I had been there two days waiting for Monroe Smith and his group of young American students who were coming to Germany to cycle through the Youth Hostels on budgets of less than $100.00. They were to bring with them a $25.00 gear-shift German made bicycle for me so that I could go with them up the Rhine and into Switzerland. But my mind was full of doubts as I awaited their coming. Would this type of trip be feasible for other American students? Could it be done as cheaply as planned? Could the idea of Youth Hostels be adapted to South- ern California? And. above all, would I have the strength, the energy and the money to make the trip myself ? Altena itself dispelled many of these doubts — the headquarters of the whole International Youth Hostel movement was filled with travelling youngsters from all over Europe, mixing within the walls of the lovely old historic castle, with young German hikers of the Hitler Youth Organi- zations. I had enjoyed so much my contact with all these enthusiastic hikers and cyclists that I was impatient to set off cycling myself ? Immediately after the arrival of Monroe Smith, founder of the New England hostels and successful leader of four summers of American cycling youth in Europe, groups were organized as if by magic and we set out. I went with eight girls from Smith College, a geology intructor from Smith and her young husband, and a Hitler Boy Scout of nineteen. They had planned a sixty-dollar budget for the summer, July 10 to August 18 — the finest possible experience for the Smith College girls. We were able to reach a Youth Hostel forty-two kilometres from Altena on the first night out. At this hostel, as at the one in Cologne the next night, we were pro- vided with army cots in the girls ' dormitory room. The Cologne hostel was so interesting because of the crowds accommodated there. Six hundred young people — from America, England, Holland, France, Scan- dinavia and Switzerland, were all eating the bean soup, the frankfurters and the potato salad provided in the great Tageraum or day room. All of these nationalities sing their own songs, each loudly applauded by the oth- ers. We slept in the same dormitory with a group of twenty-five young girls from Holland who were crossing Germany on foot. The evening meal and the lodging came to approximately fifty cents. An overnight is supposed to amount to twenty-five cents in any country according to the rules of the International Youth Hostel Association. Two days ' rest in Cologne made the next day ' s trip to Bonn seem easy. Here our group saw the weekly market, visited the house of Beet- STORY AND VERSE 99 FROM MY ALBUM OF MEMORIES 100 THEARTISANW ' 37 when we came, and many new ones we had learned along the way. Here al- so I had time to sketch with water colors in the quaint streets, near the ol 1 church, and from the top of the near-by hill, and to go wandering along the the quiet river with my young Belgian and German friends. During all these days we were able to cover from forty and sixty kilo- meters between stops. In order to keep up with the younger members of the group, I had to start an hour earlier in the morning, and get into the next hostel an hour or so later at night. Thus I travelled alone almost entirely, except for the charming young German cyclists who constantly joined me on the road for a mile or so, always willing to go my slow pace for the sake of talking to an American. They were always so patient with my broken German, and often ask for help in speaking English. Twice the Hindenburg passed above me, while townspeople called to me to stop and watch it. Everywhere there was the most charming hospitality — in big cities like Mainz and Freiberg, as well as in the lovely villages of the Black For- est. I was in the state of Hesse in the harvesting season, and went pedaling along country roads through the ripe grain, stopping often for movies of the peasants at work with scythe and sickle. As we went farther south the regimentation in the hostels seemed less and less strict. Below Baden Baden we no longer had to be in bed by 9 :00 o ' clock and up sharply at 6 :00 o ' clock. But here the hostels were not so clean and we always had to market in the villages and cook for ourselves, on old-fashioned wood stoves within our very limited budget. A charming town called Kandern maintains its hostel four miles up in the mountain. Here we had a magnificent view of the whole Black Forest region, which was worth the long push of the bicycles up the three mile grade. The hostel was heated with old tile stoves and all wandering youths coming there had to go out and collect fagots in the forest for the wood su])])ly. Coming down out of Kandern was a happy recollection for we coasted the greater part of fifteen miles back to the Rhine on the Swiss Border. In the town of ' aldshut I spent my last night in a German Youth Hostel. Our guide from the Hitler Youth Organization had to go back to his home in West] halia and the other girls were travelling through Bavaria by cycling and then to Berlin, for the ( )lympics. Reservations for sleeping at the Berlin Youth Hostel during the Olymi ics had to be sent in the month of May, but our group had arranged for this. As for myself, I left the American Youth Hostel cyclists after a last breakfast of bread and liverwurst and a last song fest and crossed the Rhine River into Switzer- land. When 1 arrived in the evening at Zurich. I had covered more than three hundred an d fifty miles through Southern Germany. 1 had paid into the group fund $34.00, which had paid for my lodging, all my food and S T O R Y A N D E R S E 101 li() t ' n and the University of Bonn, and finally slept, tired but happy, on straw mats on the floor of a school house near the over-crowded Hostel. Here we had to provide food for ourselves, and gaily ate bread and liver- wurst in the backyard of the local milkman, while many interesting German folk plied our Hitler Youth guide and interpreter with questions about our life in America. Our budget allowed for a day ' s steamer trip up the Rhine to Mainz, because all holders of Youth Hostel passes are granted reductions on local steamers and third class railways. This same pass, bearing our pictures and other passport information was turned over to the warden or the matron of the Hostel every night, stamped with the place, and the date and return- ed to us in the morning if we had kept the traditions of the Hostel. These rules included the care and cleaning of bedrooms and cooking rooms, early hours for sleeping and rising and no smoking in the hostels. The hostels everywhere in Europe are to be used only by travelers coming afoot or on cycles or horses, but the Rhine steamer trip did not disqualify us, as we were merely breaking a cycling journey for a day. Of hostels which particularly interested me as we went farther South. He ' delberg stands out in my memory. It was also in a beautiful old castle, with a large courtyard where the boys and girls could eat outside. Here we were able to purchase a litre of bean soup with two frankfurters floating in it. and a great many large buns, for the equivalent of ten cents in Ameri- can money. In Heidelberg, even more than in other places, young people from all over Germany were congregated, and we were kept busy helping them practice English and explain our American school system. So many of these young people in Heidelberg reiterated their horror of another world war, their refusal to go to fight against the young people of other countries that it seemed easy to forget their Xazi uniforms and the intense loyalty they expressed to the Hitler regime. Here in Heidelberg I was able to Iniy a German girl ' s dress, a Mad- chen Kleide such as the girls would wear to school or cycling along the roads. This return to the peasant type of dress, though a subtle part of the campaign to keep the women in the home, is welcomed joyfully by the guds themselves, for they embroider the bodices and buy lovely flowered ma- terial for the full skirts. I wore my dress in the Youth Hostel two nights later in the town of Gernsbach. Here we stayed over to rest in the moun- tains on the edge of the Black Eorest, and slept in the Hostel which was once the town jail. I was in a cell with three girls from Belgium. As every town is expected to provide a hostel for traveling youth, any unused building is often adopted, and we hg.d found schools, barracks, and old castles as well as the jail. Here, with the young people in Gernsbach, we sang, danced, and played on the harmonica, all the German songs we knew 102 THEARTISANW ' 37 my admission to museums, art galleries, etc., for a period of three weeks. I had also paid for a whole day ' s trip on the Rhine steamer. I was ahle to use mv bicycle throughout August in France and finally sold it for $14.00, so that I shouldn ' t count the expense of the bicycle as a part of the cost of my German experience. The gain in physical well-being, strong muscles, good healthy tan, application of the German language and understanding of the common German village people cannot be measured with $3400.00 Such a trip has value for my own students in three ways. The B-10 class last spring helped me plan the trip. The same people in A- 10 this semester have enjo}-ed it vicariously through my diary, water colors, scrap book and the motion picture. Then there is always the possibility that another year some high school student may find the $400.00 necessary to finance a cycling trip with the American Youth Hostel Association from Los Angeles to Europe and back here. Our local } ' oung people may be able to use the chain of seventy-five hostels founded by Monroe Smith in the New England States. But what I hope to see come out of this trip of mine is a chain of hostels here in Southern California where young ])eople may stay over night for $.25 — where thev may get clean whole- some meals in mountain or sea air, and through which cycling, hiking and out-door exercises may become the popular thing.

But even these I may not have had To hold my own In silent understanding, I f you had not once told me Of a similar hour of woe. S T O R Y A N D V E R S E 103 WHY BE POPULAR Bv Charlotte Moeller My, it ' s a lovely spring day, exclaimed Marian Cleves as she bounded into the garden of her friend, Janet ' s home. Don ' t you think so, Janet? she asked quizzically, as she saw the bored, martyr-like ex- pression on her friend ' s face. Oh it ' s as nice as any. I suppose, but after all, what difference does the weather make ? One can feel just as blue on a sunny day as on a cloudy one. I know! Thus spoke Janet from the depths of her chair. Why, you old bear, whatever is wrong with you today? — Aren ' t you even glad it ' s Saturday; that we don ' t have to go to school today? Uh-huh, Em glad of that. You know, Marian, that ' s the whole trou- ble — school. She sat bolt upright as she said this and waited for a min- ute for any amazed outcry from her friend, but since none was forthcom- ing, she continued. All I do at school is agree, agree with teachers, agree with my friends, agree on political questions, on what we ' ll serve at the P. T. A. luncheon, on what we ' ll have for entertainment at the ' Girls ' Choice ' dance. I agree with anyone and everyone on anything, just to be pleasant. If Em chosen on a committee, everyone knows Ell abide by the wishes of the majority, and be a peacemaker between them and the min- ority. Eve been so pleasant. Eve lost my individuality and ability to think for myself ! ' ' But, Janet, quietly reasoned Marian, that ' s why you ' re so popular at school. Everyone knows you ' re not a dissenter. You ' re so easy to get along with, and so — so keen to even the lowly BlOs. You speak to every- one who says ' hello ' to you, even if you don ' t know them. You ' re not hi- hat at all. You ' re liked the way you are, so why change? Em going to change, through. I go around school grinning and smiling; I remind myself of nothing to much as a Cheshire cat. Em going to do exactly as I please from now on; if I don ' t feel like smiling or agreeing, I don ' t. Em going to express myself, and develop my personality. The psychology book I got for my birthday says no one should allow him- self to become stifled, but should reveal his true self to the world. Ouch! gasped Marian, you ' re going technical on me. She then surveyed her friend from head to foot and back again. She saw an attractive, but not strikingly beautiful, girl of about eighteen, with blue eyes and dark brown, naturally wavy hair, tall, slim, and athletic. There was wealth of determination in that strong chin, and wealth of intelli- gence in those shining eyes. Her inventory over, she laughed, and mis- chievously said, Janet, you ' ll never do it ; you ' re too wise, especially since you ' re going to run for G. V. P. 104 THEARTISANW ' 37 Oh, you think so? Well, you ' re mistaken, because starting Monday my new program goes into effect. Will you make a wager on that? Yes, any odds you state! Alright, I ' ll bet that you can ' t carry that program through for one week. If I lose, I ' ll take ' Einstein ' Burroughs to the ' Girls ' Choice ' dance, and buy you a malt besides. If I win, you take him and buy me a malt. Okay? Of course you ' ll have to play fair. Einstein was at least two inches shorter than Janet, wore glasses, and had red, fuzzy hair. However, it took Janet but a moment to decide. It ' s a bargain, she said, and they solemnly shook hands, each sure she would not be obliged to take the ultra-intellectual Einstein to the dance. Monday and Tuesday passed pleasantly enough for Janet. It was not until Wednesday, the third day of her independence strike, that she be- gan to notice a change in the attitude of her associates. She noticed small groups around the campus from which phrases such as : Janet ' s ' gone Hollwyood ' — I thought she could ' take ' popularity — and she wants to be G.V.B. of the student body ! We ' ll have to get her off the committee ; she just wants to have everything her own way — emerged. Some of the students whom she vaguely remembered speaking to her in the halls, passed her with a slightly cynical expression. She came to the realization, not without quite a shock, that the smiles and greetings of her acquaintances had meant a lot to her. Each had brought a friendly glow to her, which lasted the whole day. Now she was practically friend- less. Her favorite teacher, Miss Barry, had called her impertinent in front of the whole class because she had said that anyone who condemned communism before fully investigating its principles was too narrow- minded to teach school. (Miss Barry was an ardent Republican, with capitalistic leanings) . Janet came home from school Wednesday with a strong inclination to concede the bet to Alarian, but a stronger determination to last the week through triumphed. She could see Marian ' s blonde head thrown liack in gales of mirth, her i)rankish blue eyes dancing, and her small mouth emit- ting teasing remarks, when she, Janet, came to admit her defeat. Further- more she could visualize herself dancing with Einstein. or rather, trying to keep him off her feet. She was. however, unprepared to greet Don Hayes when he rang the bell about eight o ' clock. She was in the midst of her homework of which she had a great deal l)ecause she had let it ac- cumulate for several days, so naturally her usually even disposition was not at its best. Don Hayes was a classmate of Janet ' s, with whom she had gone STORY AND V ERSE 105 out several times that term. He was not an athlete, ])Ut was very active in debating and student activities. He was clever without l)eing stodgy and boring like Einstein, and was quite popular at school, even intending to run for B.V.P. for the following term. He had not yet become known as Janet ' s boy-friend, but Janet had mentally resolved to have him be- come equipped with this title before school ended in June. Although she was hot and tired, she put on her most dazzling smile, and, opening the door said, Hello, Don, come in. I ' m in the midst of my homework; maybe you can help me? Janet, murmered Don in an uncomfortable tone of voice, I thought I ' d come over to tell you something I think you ought to know, because it ' s really important to your chances of being elected. He paused, sat down on the edge of the sofa, and then continued, You ' ve changed, Janet ; you ' ve ' gone Hollywood. ' You used to be so pleasant that we all liked you immensely. Now, just this week, you became a different per- son, argumentative and authoritative. Even your closest pals are talking about it, and so you can see, with the election only two weeks away, you ' ll defeated if you don ' t snap out of it and act as you formerly did. Why, I don ' t know what you ' re talking about, Don, answered Jan- et with a forced laugh, I ' m the same as ever. No you ' re not. I ' m just trying to help you by telling you what they ' re saying about you. Please believe me when I say tha t no one likes the way you ' re acting now. It may be like Hepburn or Garbo, but we liked the real you, not a bad imitation of a famous movie star ! Don, I ' ll have you know that I ' m not imitating any actress what- soever. I ' m merely expressing myself, and not being hampered by tra- ditions. I don ' t care if everyone in the whole school dislikes me; I don ' t care if I ' m not elected G.V.P. ; and I don ' t care if I never speak to you again. It was mean of you to come over here and make me miserable. Janet was really angry, but she was nearly in tears just the same. Inwardly she lectured herself for being so foolish as to try to change her personality. She wished Don would leave, and so he did, saying a low I ' m sorry as he went. Outside he smiled to himself, and said, She was putting on an act, just as I thought, but she ' ll be alright tomorrow. Funny. I should be sore, the way she told me what she thought of the world in general and me in particular, but I ' m not. I like a girl with more under her hat than a permanent and Janet has got spirit and brains. All in all. she ' s one swell girl ! Don ' s prophecy was correct, for Janet appeared at school the next day her pleasant, smiling self. She spoke to people she hardly knew, and they beamed back at her in joyous satisfaction. She was the spirit of compatibility in the committees she served on, and she treated her teachers 106 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 most respecti fully. (Janet had not wished to argue, she had merely wanted to let her associates know she was something l esides a yes-woman. ) Lastly she apologized to Don for the fireworks she had suhmitted him to. He passed the whole incident off with a let ' s forget it. and an invi- tation to a movie, Friday night. Walking home from school that afternoon with Marian, Janet ex- claimed. My hut it ' s a gorgeous day ! Marian looked at her and jestingly asked, What difference does it make to you, Janet? You ' ve hroken your wager, and you ' ve got to take ' Einstein ' to the dance ! Oh yes, Marian, I was gonig to explain it all to you when we got ot my house, hut since you brought it up, I may as well tell you how it happened now. I was miserable, ])elieve me; I even hated myself. I found out that I really am at heart an agreeal)le person. It must be a throwback to my Southern ancestors. I don ' t like to quarrel, and I just Joz ' c to have BlOs speak to me. My whole trouble was that I was dramatizing myself in a ridiculous fashion, but I ' ll never do it again. Why, I ' m going home and throw that psychology book in the fire ; it ' s the only place for a detri- mental piece of literature! The two girls looked at each ohter, and then began to laugh, for the whole event had really been a mere comedy of errors. Between bursts of laughter, Janet asked, You will dance with ' Einstein, ' won ' t you? Marian looked at Janet ' s pleading face, and weakened slightly. Yes, she answered, once !

STORY AND V ERSE 107 THE BOOMERANG By Goldie Futoran At precisely 9:45 A.M. a spacious limousine drew up to the main en- trance of the station U R S and stopped. The chauffeur in the front seat looked neat, happy, and contented, but the sole occupant of the back seat merely looked bored and indifferent. The wheels of the auto were still rolling when two uniformed attendants rushed out of the building, fall- ing all over each other in their haste to get to the car. The brisk, red- headed boy reached there first and opened the door, but the rather short, stocky fellow was right on his heels. Oh, good morning, Mr. Galliser, how does your leg feel this morning. Hello, Mr. Galliser, I sure hope you feel O. K. today. Mr. John William immediately put on his familiar benevolent smile. Good morning. Red ; good morning, Mac. I am feeling as usual, thank you, he said, just as he answered them every morning. Red and Mac, not pausing to interpret Mr. Galliser ' s answer, awk- wardly help him out of the car and proceeded to half carry him to the en- trance of the building from which they had just come. He leaned heavily on one arm of each attendant and the procession was quite slow. Never- theless Red said. Don ' t try to hurry, Ir. Galliser, there ' s plenty of time before your broadcast. (iee, echoed Mac, You ' re on time every morn- ing, aren ' t you? And you always come, too. Gosh, if I had a decaying hip and leg that bothered me and could never be cured, I ' d jirobably be in bed all day. Ya know, you ' re awful brave. The reply was merely a smile and a l )i)k of pain as both boys gazed worshipfully yet pitifully at the man they supported. They escorted him inside the radio station, into the elevator, up to the third floor and into Studio Six from which he was accustomed to give his daily broadcasts. There they seated him on a comfortal)le couch, gave him his crutch and briefcase, and excusing themselves they went off to less pleasant duties. Every one in the studio smiled and murmured a Good morning as they passed Mr. Galliser. Although they saw every day for about two years it was only for half an hour in the morning and none of the em- ployees of the station knew him very well. However, all liked him. At ten o ' clock after the announcer had announced the station, time. etc. he in- troduced Mr. (jalliser to the radio audience. J. W. Galliser a fine, charitable gentleman who is given to you through the courtesy of staticni U R S will now present his regular fifteen minute talk. Mr. Galliser makes a daily plea for handicapped children and adults. Being partially disabled himself he knows their wants and wishes. I take great pleasure in introducing Mr. Galliser. Mr. Galliser unfolded the paper in his hand and began to read his carefully prepared discourse, with his kind, pleasant voice. — I want to 108 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 thank— for their very kind donaticjns. I am sure those benefitted by them are very thankful to you all— also thanking— for encouraging letters, etc. Please remember the poor little boy who is in the hospital. He would cer- tainly appreciate toys, and books. You need not send your gifts to me. Send them direct to the needy. — etc., — etc.. — etc. After he finished his speech and had received favorable comment from those about him. he allowed himself to be escorted by Red and Mac back to his waiting limousine. This time Red also carried a large bag. full of letters and bulky packages, that composed the mail for the day, ad- dressed to Mr. Galliser. Mr. Galliser mused to himself as he moved along. People were such fools. Every day friends and acquaintance told him how marvelous his speech was. They did not know that they were all prepared for him by his man servant. Mr. (Galliser continued to muse tf) himself. Not a l)ad idea, innocently asking the people not to send their donations to him. but cleverly forgetting to tell them exactly where to send them. Of course, he would receive all. Seeing that Mr. Galliser was comfortably settled in his car again. Red and Mac said something about seeing him tomorrow and waved a fare- well. After they left he again lapsed into his bored expression. As soon as he put his foot through the front door of his home, sup- ported by his chauffeur and his man servant Bates, who had waited to meet the car. his wife came over and ]:)ecked him on the forehead, which was supposed to be a kiss. His wife was a middle aged, pleasant, but bor- ing woman. As soon as she caught sight of the large box of correspond- ence which was now carried by the chauffeur, she exclaimed. John dear, don ' t you think you should get a private secretary? I ' m afraid you ' ll overwork. (Just as she said every day.) Now don ' t you worry. he said, I enjoy my work. Just run along to — (she was always going to luncheons, bridge parties, teas and what not) John didn ' t know where today, so he just .said, Run along and have a good time. So off .she went. Convenient kind of a wife to have, he thought. They had only been married one year and she never meddled in any of his l)usiness. She also had quite a lot of money. He had carefully made sure of that before they were married. After the door closed behind him and he was safely inside his private njoni with Bates, Mr. Galliser seemed to breathe easier. He tossed aside his crutch and with only a slight limp went over to his couch and sat down His face now had a look might be interpreted as sarcastic, almost a sneer. He began to read his mail for the day. He opened the bulky packages most of which disclosed books. These he shook to see money was hidden within the pages, and then he tossed them in a heap on the floor. He then tore oi)en the letters and having taken out any bills that might have been in S T () R Y A N D VERSE 109 them, he also carelessly threw then on the floor at his feet. When he open- ed an envelope that contained currency he seemed annoyed, as though he were wasting time, and mumbled under his breath. When the bag was empty he called, Bates, come pick this junk up from the floor, read over these letters and stick the names in tomorrow ' s speech so I can thank my dear, dear public. Sweep up those books and send them to anyone on our list, it doesn ' t matter. As Bates began to do as he had been told, Mr. (ialliser added. Oh yes, if you come across any worthwhile letter be sure and show it to me. He counted the pile of money that he had made near him. Two hundred dollars, he said aloud. I guess this depression I hear about is really on. Bates, be sure and make tomorrow ' s speech especially entreating. And here ' s fifty dollars you can spread around among the poor. Tell ' em how lucky they are to have such a kind benefactor. Oh, he continued, there goes the door bell. Tell the butler to tell whoever it is that I can ' t l)e disturl)ed. My face already feels frozen from trying to smile all morning. After Bates returned from this errand, he began to go over the letters while his master lay down and gazed expressionlessly at the ceiling. Mr. Galliser, said Bates, This letter sounds interesting. Widow with a lot of children wants to invest some money. Mr. Galliser sat up quicky. Give that to me. It ' s the chance I ' ve been waiting for. Now I can get rid of this worthless piece of property of mine. Hmm, he said, as he read the letter, ten thousand dollars. See to that at once. Bates. Phone my lawyer and have him take care of it. Just two days later when Mr. Galliser arrived home from his broad- cast, he was greeted by ten thousand dollars. Fine work Bates, I ' m going to give my lawyer a special bonus for that transaction. I suppose this was all the money the poor, poor widow had, he said, mockingly. It ' s always that way! Deposit that money and see if you can find any more people who want to invest money. About three months of humdrum existence elapsed. After his radio broadcast one day, Red, the attendant, said that some woiuen wished to see Mr. Galliser. privately. Although puzzled he told Red to help him into a little private office where the women awaited him. Red did so, and then went down the hall to do something else. The woman who stood before Mr. Galliser was small and sorry looking. She spoke almost meekly. I ' m the woman who bought that property from you. I ' m sure there must be a mistake. I didn ' t get the property that I bought at all. I talked to your lawyer and he said I was the one that was mistaken. She became defiant then. I demand my money back. Mr. Galliser continued smiling his painful smile. There has been no mistake, you received the property and I received the money. Everything is as it should l)e. It seemed as though the woman had 110 THEARTISANW ' 37 expected a reply of this sort. You can ' t do this to me. she shouted. I ' ll bring- n to court. I ' ll expose you to everybody. Mr. Galliser pushed aside his crutch, arose and limped over to where she stood. His face again held his natural sarcastic expression. My dear woman. he said Do you think I was born yesterday? You can ' t accuse me of anything. The public wouldn ' t believe your charges. Besides. he laughed, ' ' there is no record of any of our transactions. They were all with my lawyer. I don ' t know nothing about them. The small women grew almost hysterical, yet she did not raise her voice. You fiend, she cried, all your life you ' ve been hiding behind your supposedly painful leg, making people pity you. They believe your lying radio speeches, and all the time you have been robbing them. You ' ve taken the very life from me and my children. This earth is too good for you ! Mr. Galliser turned and ]:)icked up his crutch. I have no time for your silly prattling ; I ' m a busy man. he said, ' ' Good day madam. He had barely set foot outside the door when the sharp report of a pistol startled him, ' Fool, he sneered as he turned to see a pitiful heap of a woman on the floor behind him. A crowd of people rushed down the hall. What happened? What hap])ened? Oh, said Mr. Galliser, she said she needed money. I told her I ' d put her on my list and she could wait her turn. I certainly would have given her some money out of my own pocket had I known she was going to take such a drastic step. Poor woman ! The very next Sunday morning a slow procession made its way over the slippery streets in a drizzling rain to lay this poor woman ' s bodv in its last resting place. On the way back from the funeral the hearse driver glanced at his watch. W ' ow. he said, almost 10:20 and there ' s another funeral at 10 :30, I better step on it. He pressed down upon the accelerator and swer ' ed around the corner. The steering wheel spun out of his hands as the huge hearse slid on the glassy road over to the wrong side. Oh ! It was going to hit that limousine. Mr. Galliser, settled warmly and comfort- ably in his car on the way home saw it sweep towards him.

Secrest Hours 1)efore the day of the race, fans were gathered hefore the gates in preparation for seeing the Indainapolis Memorial Day race. On the day of the classic thousands of cars were lined four abreast, ready to make a dash for the best places inside the speedway. At six-thirty the gates were flung open, at the bursting of a boml), and nearly one hundred and eighty thousand fans in cars and on foot scrambled for the best position to see the great spectacle. By nine o ' clock the stands were filled to their seating capacity of fifty thousand, and there were nearly one hundred and thirty thousand in the in- field. People were rushing from place to place hunting for the best seats. The stands reverberated with the noise of the race-mad spectators. Watching from the pits where I was working for Deacon Litz, one of the hard-luck drivers of the gruelling race, I saw the brilliant motley of colors exhibited by the spectators ' clothes. The beautifully colored and highly-polished racing cars were being rolled out to their pits, and while the American Automobile Association officials stood by, the cars were filled with gas and oil. The oil had first been heated to a boiling point before the race to provide faster acceleration with less labor on the motor. During this time the largest band in the world, composed of one thou- sand pieces, paraded up and down the track. About nine-thirty the cars were rolled to their starting positions, which they had won for themselves during the qualifying trials. Finally, at nine-fifty, the drivers were called to the line, where they had their photographs taken by the news photographers, and then final in- structions were given to them by the referee. The nervous and impatient daredevil drivers and mechanics hopped and slid into the seats of their racing mounts. At ten sharp they were off ! Eleven rows of iron men with steel racers paraded behind the pace car while thousands gazed. They were across the line with the bursting of an aerial bomb ! The deafening roar of the mighty motors rose above the noise of the hysterical crowd, as thirty-three greyhounds of the roaring road slipped their leashes and flashed by, each battling for the lead. Rex Mays, icy-nerved daredevil, and also a great favorite on the Pacific Coast, led the race, so full of thrills yet free from major mishaps, until he was forced to his pit for a minor adjustment on the throttle. Then Wilbur Shaw, the favorite, leaped into the lead. For one hundred and sixty miles he held his place. Shaw then stopped to refuel, and Babe Stapp swept past him. But Stapp soon began to have trouble. Then Louie Meyer grabbed 112 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 the lead, where he stayed until the end of the race, flashing across the line at the record hreaking speed of 109 miles an hour, being headed only once by another driver when he made a quick pit stop of one minute and twenty- six seconds to take on gas. oil and water, and a right front tire. The stands rocked with applause of the hysterical spectators for this great driver, Louie Meyer, who became the first man ever to win the Indianapolis Me- morial Day race for the third time and thus added approximately fifty thousand dollars to his winnings. Only one hundred yards behind Louie Meyer, Ted Horn roared across the line to claim second place ; following close behind him was George Doc McKenzie, who has since been killed in an unfortunate racing accident. Thus another Indianapolis Memorial Day Race has passed, bringing glory and fame to a few, enjoyment for thousands, and the prospect of bigger and speedier races in the future. BREAD IS TO EAT By Gilbert Steed Bread is to eat Bread is to eat The constant cry is a deafening beat That pulses from the breadline street ! What good are rippled fields of wheat Untouched by idle thresher, Whose clanking song is stilled ; While jobless men parade the street One filled with trade and barter And envisage homes with no food to eat ? Yet farmers plow the ripe grain under. Rich dark soil that calls out Plunder My abundant seed! Why this foolish waste? When the smallest taste Of free given grain Would ease the pain Of man and keep him From the river deep? The cry mounts up a constant beat. Bread is to eat ! STO R Y A N D V E R S E 113 RISE AND FALL OF A TABLOID NEWSHAWK By Jack Peters and Jack Webb The day the New York Glohe-Graphic threw open its doors for busi- ness at 347 East Eighth street, marked the beginning of one of the most hectic newspaper eras in the history of the l)ig city. From its start the tabloid was made to appeal to the lowest mentality group in New York. Blaring headlines in three-inch type, trumped-up pic- tures featuring anyone from a bathing beauty to the members of royalty made it the lowest, most disgusting sheet in New York. The master-mind behind each brilliant display of journalistic strategy to build up circulation was Henri A. Gullick, unquestionably a master of his profession. Discharged from a more reputable newspaper for radical ideas that threatened the existence of his former sheet, Gullick turned to th ' s method of showing the world that his brainstorms could and would succeed by appealing to the unlimited field of moronic readers. A small, fiery man of unknown age, with bushy, gray hair, leathery skin, and eyes that darted with lightning at times, he was the man that set the other big city newspapers back on their heels at his display of sheer audacity. Henri A. Gullick, the heart of the tabloid. Here was a plaything, an experimenting ground for his ideas and for the short duration of the Globe-Graphic, he shocked and rocked New York by turns. This., then, was the set-up into which Joe Hewitt, late of the Chicago Bulletin, walked one bright day in the fall of 1924, to start the most riotous nine years of his life. Unfortunately for him, as he discovered later, he went on the payroll immediately as a police reporter. The first of Gullick ' s brainchilds came while Joe was in his office. Gullick exploded from his favorite position, a legs-on-the-desk-eyes-half- closed attitude, and the first thing his gaze settled on was poor Hewitt. For three hours he explained the idea to the new reporter and finally sent him away. It had always been Gullick ' s method to get full confessions from love-nest killers and prisoners in the Tombs. Suspects who had already talked weren ' t good enough. It had to be one who hadn ' t confessed yet. To secure a fully-signed confession, return to the office, write the story and give the killer a by-line was the assignment. Dutch Grennis. notorious New York gangster, had just been arrest- ed for the killing of Imford H. Davis in a jewel robbery. Joe ' s assignment was to get Dutch to sign a confession telling everything that happened. On his way out of the City Room. Hewitt was wise enough to grab a photo- grapher, taking him along just in case Mr. D. Grennis did come through with some hot copy. Joe would then be first with the story written by the killer, plus an exclusive picture of the doomed man. 114 THEARTISANW ' 37 To make a long story short, Joe did get Grennis ' confession. With it was a flash of Dutch as he sat on his cell-hed with a deep-thinking look in his face. The night final carried a complete story and picture of the event. Below the hy-line of Dutch Grennis, was the following: As Told To Joe Hewitt, Globe-Graphic Police Reporter. Old Gullick ' s pleasure in beating the Herald-Journal to this story was indescribable. His estimation of Hewitt soared to new heights and soon Joe bore the proud title of Globe-Graphic Star Reporter. A special desk adorned the City Room with the newly-successful reporter ' s name en- graved on a plaque which rested on the mahogany top. There was the Farmers ' National Bank hold-up, the three-alarm fire that burned New York ' s largest warehouse to the ground, the murder of Alexander Reeves, prominent business man, who had a reputation of be- coming engaged to several of New York ' s smarter and fairer sex, but never marrying, the Wilburn Diamond robbery case and many others — in fact, whenever the story was big enough to rate extra, Joe usually had the assignment. Although Hewitt proudly claimed the City Room ' s champion wo- man hater title, he wasn ' t quite prepared for fate, in the form of Molly Saunders, who covered the Reeves murder for the Herald- Journal, the Graphic rival sheet. A winsome little brunette of tender age, Molly held down a man ' s job in working as a police reporter for the Herald. It was her along with twenty other news hawks that Joe scooped on the murder story. But cap- tivating Molly scooped Joe where his heart pumped, and from then on Joe did anything for her — except give her an exclusive. Perhaps Molly felt the same way towards Joe, but she didn ' t show it nearly so much. As often the case with those most opposed to a worthy cause and loudest in denouncing its worth, Joe fell hardest and speedily became an ardent advocate of Dan Cupid ' s methods. And so things glided smoothly along for seven or eight years, with nothing much happening outside the usual homicides and murders, until one day around the middle of March, 1931, when a foredooming of the little sheet showed its face. Joe always had a cause to call the day the Globe-Graphic ' s Ides of March. By this time Hewitt stood high in the editorial rooms, and was hon- ored with the mythical ace reporter title. Gullick and he were staunch friends, perhaps only because of Joe ' s worth at scooping other papers, but nevertheless, the liking showed in Joe ' s pay envelope, which had grown fat and bulky from overstuffing. It was on this day in March that the Hyde baby was snatched from Its bed by the most ruthless kidnappers in the U.S. Joe was sent out by S TO R Y A N D V E R S E 115 Gullick the minute the story broke to scoop the nation ' s papers in his own inimitable style. It was Joe who went on when others stopped, resting at nothing, forging ahead when things seemed darkest — pausing only for a cup of coffee when things got a little too strenuous for him. And it was the same Joe who finally unearthed the biggest scoop in the history of New York, the actual names of the snatchers. backed u]) with facts. But fate, again in the form of Molly, stepped in to intervene. The girl and Joe were as thick as molasses on a January morning, and when she came to him. sobbing her story, he found it hard to keep from helping her. Her city editor, the old meany, was going to can Molly if she didn ' t redeem herself in a hurry. It seems Molly had back turned when Al Caponner. gangland ' s chief man. was killed not four feet away. Some little spick, loaded with dope, had plunged a knife into the big boy while he was standing on a corner. And the Herald-Journal trailed the others in on the story. Joe, blinded by his affections for Molly, gave in and presented the whole story to her. When the Herald broke loose with the hottest story of the year, old Gullick. who knew of Joe ' s detecting, demanded a show-down. He hauled Hewitt up on the carpet for three hours and finally scooted him right out of his job and kicked him into the street. Hewitt, mortified and angry, but still believing in his principles, marched back to the Chicago sheet from where he came, a chastened and changed individual. It was when he became assistant city editor that he learned of the Glo])e-Graphic s downfall. The editor, Henri A. Gullick, had broken down and been sent to a sanitarium. His paper although carrying the largest circulation in the history of New York journalism, had folded up. Its policies had become too low for advertisers to stomach. And the story that gave Molly back her job didn ' t do her a bit of good. She ' s changed her address to Chicago. And her name to Hewitt. And she ' s probably changing Joseph Henri Jr. ' s diapers now. AUTUMN By Margaret W orth The leaf is life. Greenness is life. Red and gold .... And death of leaf Is here ....

The theme was the Olympic Games in Berlin. The guest speakers were Coach Dean Cromwell and Foy Draper. Coach Dean Cromwell of the University of Southern California, has been a leading track and field coach for thirty years. He has witnessed several Olympic Games and therefore was well versed on the theme. Coach Cromwell has coached perhaps more leading and world champion athletes than any other man in the world. Foy Draper, formerly of the University of Southern California, a student teacher of Manual Arts, and a member of the United States Olympic cham])ionshi]) relay team, supplied the opinion of a jiarticipat- ing athlete. A list of questions were asked by Jack Carlow, vice-president of the World Friendship Club. When Coach Cromwell was asked how he was treated in Germany, he said that everything was wonderful. The meals were prepared by chefs and waiters from the Bremen, and were better than any meals you would ever expect to eat. When asked about national prejudice between the athletes and spec- tators, he said that there was only the very best of feelings. An interesting point brought out by Coach Cromwell was the i)oint of the goose step seen often in the Movietone News. He said that the Germans only march that way when they are before a camera. Another interesting point was the fact that the Nazi boys pay one mark per week for their uniforms. Foy Draper said that there was not any national hatred during com- petition or after competition between athletes of different nations. He pointed out that Jewish and Negro athletes in no way embar- rassed the American team stating, In athletic competition, the color of one ' s hair or the way he curls it does not mean a thing. The real thing is whether he is a good athlete or not. He was asked aljout the Glickmen and Stoller affair. He said that these Jewish boys were not left off the American relay team because they were Jews, but merely because it was decided in New York that any four of the si.x si)rinters might win. Italy and Germany had great teams, so Coach Robertson decided that the four best runners in New York should run in order that the American team would be as strong as possi- ble. It .so hai)i)ened that Glickman and Stoller placed fifth and sixth in New York so they were omitted from the team. STORY AND VERSE 117 Foy Draper is of the o])inion that international sports such as tlie Olympic Games are a great factor towards futhering world peace. He was also of the opinion that games of bodily contact should be omitted as they always cause trouble. Coach Cromwell was asked the last (|uestion as to whether the ren- dition of the Nazi salute embarrassed our athletes. His answer was as fol- lows : In the qualifying heat for the 800 meter run, John ' oodruff of the United States ran the first lap in a terrific pace and continued to do so throughout the entire race winning by fifty yards. Coach Robertson reprimanded Woodruff for using up so much energy when it was unneces- sary. He also told Woodruff to merely hold a short lead in the final race to be run on the morrow. W ' ell, Woodrufif got in the lead at the start of the race and stretched it to 10 yards in the first lap, then he remembered that he was ordered to hold a short lead, so he slowed down. The second runner stuck out his hand and shoved him into lane two ; the man in lane two shoved him in- to lane three. Before he knew it, he was on the outside and ten yards be- hind everybody. This made him sore so he ran like a bullet and got into the lead again only to slow down as ordered again. Before he knew it he was boxed in between six runners. This made him mad so he again ran a terrific pace and got out in front and won by ten yards. He was taken over to the victory stand. An oak was placed in his left hand and an olive wreath on his forehead. The wreath slipped over his eyes so that he nearly stumbled getting off the stand. As he got off the stand the band played the Star Spangled Banner. The Italian on his right gave a Fascist salute so John also gave a Fascist salute. He noticed that the German on his left gave a Nazi salute so he went into a Nazi salute. Then he remembered that the Americans held their hat over their heart on the opening day during the national anthem so he put his hand over his heart, then he remembered that he had no hat so he dropped his hand and stood disgusted. Upon meeting Grantland Rice in the middle of the field. Rice said John, don ' t you know how to salute? He responded, Air. Rice. I ' se not a salutor, I ' se an 800 meter man. And so we surmise that the Olympic Games were a grand success. 118 THEARTISANW ' 37 MIDNIGHT SERVICE By Helen Bennett Christmas Eve had arrived, a night of night ' s, when the clear crisp sky was studded with cut-glass stars. The whole town lay in silent white- ness as little children tossed restlessly in their beds awaiting the dawn, while their parents ventured out in the cold to attend midnight services at their churches. A few cars with their frosty windows and blinking headlights headed for the houses of worship, while groups of people trudged through the snow on their way to church. The smallest church on the ingleside of town opened its doors for the midnight service on this Christmas Eve. A glorious sight greeted the worshippers. At the side of each pew and on each step leading to the altar stood a small, bushy, symmetrical, and undecorated fir tree. The stained windows held huge wreaths of holly and were hung with green kinnikinic heavy with red berries. But the center of all the surrounding beauty was the altar. Tall white candles flickered as the poinsettias in the altar vases quivered. Directly in front of the altar, back of the decorated chancel rail stood a crude brown cradle filled with children ' s toys, placed there by the little children during the earlier service for those less fortunate than themselves. An air of solemnity and holiness prevailed that night amidst the feel- ing of good cheer and love of each man for his brother. Even as the last comer foimd a place, the choir started its processional — Oh. come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant. Oh, come ye. oh come ye to Bethlehem. As the choir marched down the aisle the congregation eagerly joined with the singing and the little church was filled with the sweet sacred music (jf Christmas Eve. Outside, a passer-by lifted his humble head to hear the joyful sing- ing, turning his eyes to see from where it came. The light on the snow suggested to him warmth and friendliness. Above, the stars blinked, and one. the brightest, seemed to whisper. Walk in, you are welcome ! This is the night of our dear Savior ' s birth! Slowly turning his ste])s. he entered the church, renioxing his torn and worn cap. In the darkness of the vestibule he was unnoticed, but he found a .seat in the very last ]x v. W ' hi) was to know that he was too poor even to ]nit a dime on the plate, that his meals were few and meager? No one would know. He would probably spend his night slee])ing in a cold b(jx car or in a dirty damp shed. As he sat there, his white head bowed, a tear ran down his l)ewhiskered cheek. He listened to the reverend Father ' s words .... and we may rejoice on tliis holy night giving thanks to G(jd for our dear ones gathered about us. Let us give with all our hearts to those less fortunate than we. STORY AND VERSE 119 Dear ones gathered about us. Times like these he too had known long ago, in another day. He coukl see them now, gayly unwrapping gifts as they sat around the majestic Christmas tree, or singing carols as they rode home from church in the sleigh. Ah, but that was before circum- stances had turned him on the wrong jiath, before the long years he had spent behind prison walls. Now, what a i)itiful old man he was, a worth- less tramp without home or fireside. In prison he had heard of his wife ' s death, but when he was at last free he could find no trace of his children. If he only knew where they were ! His son must be at least thirty now. He wouldn ' t remember his father. Besides, he did not want his son to know him as he was now . . . What was the priest saying ? Dear Lord, may those who have wandered find shelter. Let them return to their folds like lost lambs on this Christmas Eve. The youthful Father ' s face was radiant as he spoke. His eyes wan- dered about the congregation as if they were searching for someone. Once they seemed to stay a moment on the old man in the last pew. The old man caught that fleeting glance and in the instant his heart quickened, his pulse beat wildly, he seemed to sense that this young man of reverence was his son ! He did not call out as his impulse suggested, or rush up to the altar, but instead sank down in the pew. His eyes felt heavy ; a drowsiness crept over him ; his damp cold clothes no longer felt damp. All he could hear or sense was the singing. It sounded sweet. He no longer cared what would happen, because he knew his son was a man. He could see that star far off and it seemed to whisper, Walk in, you are welcome to God ' s kingdom. This is the night of our dear Savior ' s birth. Outside the snow had begun to fall in gigantic flakes, covering the earth with a white blanket. The sky was clouded. The stars were gone. SOLITUDE By Grace Israel I am in solitude But I am not lonely. For all about me In gay salute — Are the smiles of my friends. And soon — In reciprocation I find myself Smiling too. 120 T H E A R T I S A N W 3 7 THE CORONDOLET Bv ' ioi,ET Hughes After the organization of the conil)inecl naval and military operations for gaining control of the ] Iississii)i)i. at the time of the Civil War, there came a great demand for more na al equipment. To effect hlockades, the North sought gun-hoats, well ])rotected and adapted to service on shallow rivers. In August, 1861, contracts with James B. Eads of St. Louis for 7 ironclads were made. The Corondolet was 175 feet long. 51 feet beam, 6 feet in draft; and carried 13 heavy guns. Also having a casemate shaped at an angle of 35 degrees and plated the forward end abreast the engines with 2y2 inches of iron. There was a single large paddle-wheel placed in an opening forward of the stern, and thus protected from shot by the casemate and sides. The speed required by contract was 9 miles an hour. She was made ready for active service in January, 1862, and was built under general supervision of the War Department. Prominent in the Civil War, the Corondolet was active in the attack on Fort Donelson. Under the supervision of the Generals Grant and Foote she was able to shell batteries at the enemy boats from a distance of less than 400 yards. The battle was sharjily fought and lasted for an hour and a half. The fire of the batteries was terribly accurate, and not only swei)t the tops of the iron-clads, destroying everything that was exposed, but occasionally i)enetrated the casemates or ports. Two pilots were dis- abled, and a third wounded and finally her starboard rudder was broken. However. Foote expressed confidence that the gun-boats would have cap- tured both batteries had the steering apparatus been correctly fitted. Thus the Corondolet contri])uted to the Xavy — by the fact that accuracy in the building of iron-clads was primarily important. Another report of her heroic bravery was during the capture of the so called Island No. 1. On the fourth of April, Walke announced to Foote that the Coron- dolet was ready to run the blockade. I le had made use of some clever expedients to protect her from the enemies ' fire. During the night the Corondolet slijxped i)ast the Confederate boats and reached her destina- tion, without a single damaging shot. The i)assage of the ' Corondolet, ' remarks Mahan, was not only one of the most daring and dramatic events of the war; it was also the death-blow to the Confederate defense of this position. HTHLETICS 122 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 MANUAL ' S COACHING STAFF The efficient and well trained coaching staff of Manual Arts is envied hy many other high schools hecause of their ahility to produce a team that any school would be proud of. These men have developed manv of the athletes who have made good in uni ' ersities. Sid Foster: Without proper equipment, championship teams cannot be produced. This serious problem need not worry any Manualite in the least, however as long as Coach Foster is at the head of the Physical Education Department of Manual Arts. Much credit should be given to Sid Foster for selecting such an efficient coaching staff. James Blewett : As it has been said, A coach makes a team. Coach Blewett only had four experienced men to Iniild around. His continued method of drilling has produced another that ranks among Manual ' s best. His class B track teams are equally good. Arthur Williams : A championship gym team and golf squad last term topped by a championship class B football eleven this year prove the ability of Coach Williams. Coach A ' illiams also supervises the class B basketball squad. James Armstrong : Coach Armstrong is recognized among the best coaches of casaba tossers in the city. He has produced many winning teams since the beginning of his career. He is a regular fellow among his students. Coach Armstrong is the adviser of the class C football team. Herbert Lougheed : More than one fellow has entered Mr. Lougheed ' s corrective gym class with a defect and left it as perfect specimen of man- hood. Coach Lougheed understands boys and their ailments. To Mr. Loug- heed, the correction of these fellows faults is more important than all the football and track championships in the world. Wendell Smith: A fast, shifty backfield is of no use without a good line. Coach Smith has succeeded in producing one of the strong- est, hardest charging lines in the city. Coach Smith was one of the finest atheletes to graduate from Occidental College. He was a three year letterman in both track and football.

Men wanted. Competition declared with other nations. loin the lanual Arts Navy. Stars needed ; a ' so reserves wanted hadly. At last the Good Ship Toilerdom was equipped with a good crew and ahle reserves. Only eleven men were allowed to work at one time. Captains Scolinos and LaRusso steered the ship out of dock. It met the strong Spartan Yacht. Both ships partiall}- sank and ended the day ' s com- petition on an even hasis. Toilerdom .sailed to the land of the Democrats. The hattle was eagerly watched by spectators from both sides. The Good Ship Toilerdom, bearing the Purple and Grey war flag, almost sank the Democratic boat two or three times, but failed. The combat was almost over ; but wait, it is true, the Democratic Ship sank. Toilerdom returned home victorious. A week more of strengthening and i)racticing, then came the Generals. A big, strong, heavy liner. One full of confidence and an undefeated one at that. The whistle blew, the battle was on. Both ships battled hard. They fought hand to hand. The final gun was fired. Once again Toilerdom remained on top of the waters and ahead of all the other ships. A week hence, the purple and grey waters were endangered by a Polytechnic shi]x It was a hard fight from beginning to end, but Toiler- dom never gave in to defeat. One last barrier remained to be crossed. The Pathfinders knew what a loss would mean to the Toilers so they .sent their destroyer to the scene of action. Toilerdom was well organized. They posted their defense and dared the Pathfinder destroyer to a battle. The outcome of the combat was an easy victory for the Good Ship Toilerdom and the South- ern Leagtie Championship. Toilerdom was allowed to try out for higher honors. The following week, they were met by the Jordan Bulldogs. The waters weren ' t so rough. Toilerdom escaped with another easy victory. A steamer painted Green and Black api)eared in the course of the Toilers ' ship. At first the (iood Ship Toilerdom gave way, but it rapidly gained confidence. It managed to eke out another victory leaving the Green and Black Belmontian steamer completely under water. At last came Toilerdom ' s long awaited chance. A chance at the city crown. To gain the crown would mean to fight to a bloody finish with a Roman ship. The Good Ship Toilerdom could not be outfought. They met the Roman ship half way. The fight lasted for forty-eight minutes. Romans were falling right and left. They were getting hurt. They were tiring out by the fast operation of the Toilers. The Romans were left behind. The Good Ship Toilerdom is still the commander of the high seas. 126 THEARTISANW ' 37 FINAL SOUTHERN LEAGUE STANDINGS Manual Arts Washington Fremont Polytechnic Jefferson Huntington Park Won Lost Tied Pet. 4 1 .900 4 1 .800 2 2 .500 2 3 .400 1 4 .200 3 1 .125 THE CHAMPIONS YARDSTICK Total First Downs Yards (iained on Running Plays From Passes Loss From Scrimmage Net Yards Gained Number of Running Plays Forward Passes Attempted Forward Passes Completed Forward Passes Intercepted Number of Punts Average Length of Punts Number of Fumbles Number of Fumbles Recovered Number of Penalties Yards Lost on Penalties anual C)pponents 81 49 1183 581 521 475 104 201 1952 1447 317 219 81 126 32 41 15 8 33 57 34.5 31.8 19 10 17 19 21 15 154 97 ATHLETICS 127 ' Z TI T r ' ' i ' The entire Manual line blocking a Fairfax kick COLONIALS CRUSHED Manual 16, Fairfax 6 A light h ut wiry Toiler Eleven made its first pul)lic dehut on Van Cleve Field, leaving in its wake a hlaze of glory. The underrated Toilers made their first totichdown of the season, as ' ' Joltin Johnny Wynne plunged over goal from the 3 yard line. Just hefore the gun went off ending the half, Louis LaRusso place-kicked the pigskin between the uprights for an additional 3 points. Early in the third quarter. Hanlon (jf Fairfax, Ijroke through tackle and ran 50 yards for the Colonal ' s lone score. Manual ' s second score was inevitable as a series of well performed plays advanced the ball to the Fairfax 1 yard line. Again the local crowd went wild when Johnny Wynne, veteran of last year ' s team, made the re- maining yard good for a touchdown. The successful conversion increased the score to 16-6 in favor of the Purple and Grey. In the remainder of the game Fairfax resorted to an aerial attack but found themselves up against a hard, defensive team, which con- tinuously knocked down their passes. The entire team played good football with Scolinos and LaRusso, co-captains, inspiring the players. Wynne and Overlin did most of the ball packing while Mathews cleared the way. Hanlon, topping the scale at 135 pounds, was the star of the Fairfax sc|uad with his fast and shifty running . 128 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 l.aRusso going around end HUNTINGTON PARK HELD Manual 6, Huntington Park 6 A packed Manual Arts bleachers watched a highly praised Artisan eleven hold the strong gridiron team from Huntington Park to a 6-6 tie. With a whistle and a boom Huntington Park kicked off to the Purple and Grey, officially opening the first league tilt of the season. The Artisans received the pigskin deep in their own territory and in rwv- successive plays marched to a touchdown. This score was the result of a seventy yard drive with Wynne carrying the ball over the last chalk line. The Manual goal was immediately threatened as a stray Artisan pass fell into the waiting arms of a Spartan man. Using his fast, shifty running to a good advantage he eluded players until Overlin, Manual ' s safety man. brought him down. Campbell, the visitor ' s left end, took a wild Toiler pass early in the second quarter, and instantly lateraled it to Koski, who advanced the pig- skin to the Manual 14 yard stripe. On the very next play Taylor carried the ball through right tackle for the Huntington Park six points. Lady Luck smiled Manual ' s way as Koski ' s conversion bounced off the left goal post, leaving the score deadlocked 6-6. Gland and Sim])son, ends, haunted the Huntington Park ' s back- field often causing them much grief. Scolinos proved himself a worthy captain as well as an unbeatable center. Mathews, with his hard tackles and blocks, was a regular nuisance to the Spartans. Due credit must be given to Swift and Taylor who were the out- standing backfield men of Huntington Park. ATHLETICS 129 Wynne makes a substantial gain over center DEMOCRATS DR()WNEr3 Manual 7, Jefferson On a soggy, rain-swept Democratic tin-f, the Toilers managed to make a last minute score bringing the game out of the deadlock. As the band played, and the words Nothing can stop us left the mouths of the Manual spectators, Overlin caught Gentry ' s pass, eluded two Jefferson tacklers, and skimmed over the goal for the lone score. The try for the extra point was good. In the second quarter the Artisans made a march from their own 20 yard line, only to lose the ball on downs. Again in the final quarter of play the Toilers fought their way to scoring territory but failed to make the remaining 2 yards. Had it not been for a series of tough breaks, Manual would have won by a much larger margin. Not once did Jefferson seriously threaten the Manual goal. Oc- casionally they would make a good gain or complete a few passes, only to be stopped by the sturdy Purple and Grey defense. The entire team showed up well. Irwin and Gland on the wing posi- tions stopped a great many of the host ' s end runs. Wilier and Dennis at tackle positions, with Ruettgers and Fears, guards, held the Demo- cratic gains through the center of the line to a minimum. And it is needless to mention Scolinos as he is always a big ])roblem to the opposing teams. The good performance of Bill Overlin, LaRusso, Wynne and Gentry were the cause of the Manual score. The signal calling was expertly hand- led bv the two capable quarterbacks, Simpson and Ned Mathews. Irwin, Rico, Mason and Allen stole the Jeffersonian honors. 130 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 t 1 1 ijEJI 2 1 flifli % y pi 1 1 lJ p ' g _ JSsBBli 4- 4- Washington makes no gain over the center of tix- Kul WASHINGTON WHIPPED Manual 7. Washington 6 Against a vivid, color splashed background of 8,000 footliall fans, the championship-bound Toiler eleven managed to overthrow the here- tofore undefeated Generals. The rally for the prized score of the Artisans came in the latter part of the second quarter. From behind their own goal, Washington kicked to their own 30 yard line, where Manual took possession of the ball. Overlin ' s pass to LaRusso, which brought the ball to the 5 yard stripe, was followed immediately by Bill ' s plunge over the goal. The well trained toe of Overlin kicked the conversion giving the Toilers the upper hand. The Red and Blue made a speedy counter attack. Taking the kick- off on their own 28 yard marker, the Generals mixed passes and runs for a power drive over the Manual goal. They failed to make the extra point, however, as the ever present Scolinos blocked the conversion. During the first half both schools lost good chances of scoring. Manual ' s attempt was foiled as a pass to Louis LaRusso was knocked down over the goal. Luck again favored the Purple and Grey as a Wash- ington touchdown was called back because of a clipping penalty committed on Scolinos. Long runs, good passes and hard blocks and tackles were noticed on both sides, making this one of the best prep football games ever wit- nessed. Outstanding performances were turned in by the entire backfield consisting of Wynne, LaRusso, Mathews, and Overlin, helped by the perfect l)locking of Johnny Scolinos, Gland, Ruettgers and Wilier. ATHLETICS 131 A huge hole in the Poly line PARROTS PLUCKED Manual 14. Poly A determined squad of Blewettmen scored a smashing victory over the invading flock of Polytechnic Parrots. Before six minutes of the first quarter had elapsed, the Artisan eleven had crossed the goal line of the Blue and Gold, taking an early lead. Melvin Dennis of the Purple and Grey, caught a high kick which was partially hlocked hy Scolinos. and ran it to the Polytechnic 3 yard line. Wynne ' s plunge over goal, followed by Overlin ' s place kick, netted the Artisans ' seven points. Making the score more impressive by a second touchdown. Manual took possession of the ball in mid-field and in a number of successive plays advanced it to the Pdue and Gold 14 yard line. A reverse from Overlin to LaRusso was good for the second tally. The extra point raised the score to 14-0, in Manual ' s favor. Another partially blocked kick was caught by Johnny Wynne and run back to the Polytechnic 10 yard line. The Parrots took the ball on their own 2 yard marker as the Toilers ' last attempt to score failed. The Poly eleven never crossed the Manual 30 yard line due to the fast charging of the Purple and Grey forward wall. Time and again the Toilers proved themselves a nuisance to the Parrot kickers and passers, often throwing them for a big loss. From the Manual roster came Krueger who surprised the entire lot of spectators by his sensational punt. From the 49 yard line he kicked the ball out of bounds on the Poly 1 yard stripe. 132 THE ARTISAN W 3 7 Nichols barely gets away a kick PATHFINDERS DEFEATED Manual 14, Fremont A vicious Pathfinder horde crossed the Alanual l)or(ler intending to overthrow the Artisan Southern League honors. Instead they were met hy a group of fighting, unl)udgeahle Toilers. The determined Blewettmen took an early lead as Mathews, of the Purple and Grey, intercepted a Fremont pass and ran 55 yards to score. Squarely hetween the uprights went Overlin ' s placekick, making the score 7-0. Late in the second quarter, as the bewildered Fremontians looked on, the Artisan eleven crossed the Cardinal and Grey goal for a second touchdown. Manual had the ball deep in their own territory. Completed })asses and successful runs brought the ball to the Pathfinder 14 yard line. A reverse from Overlin to LaRusso resulted in the second score. Once again the jMgskin went between the uprights for the added point. In the second quarter, the Toilers reached the Cardinal and Grey 2 yard marker before they lost the ball on downs, just missing another goal. The accurate and well timed passes of Nichols, the 145 pound star of Fremont, to such players as Bliss, Brasher, McKay, Brunick and Moeller were the main offensive threat of the Pathfinders. The entire Manual forward wall, from end to end, cooperated in every respect with the galloping back field ((uartet in opening holes and clearing their way. ATHLETICS 133 II 9 2 ' 3 S wB wP iff « Gland away for a touchdown BULLDOGS BURIED Manual 25, Jordan 6 In the first of the inter-league playoffs, the Mighty Toilers swamped the Jordan Bulldogs, second place winners of the Pacific League, to further substantiate their chances for the city title. Before seven minutes of the first quarter had elapsed. Manual had two touchdowns to their credit, marking up their highest score yet this season. Thus, the second and third string players were given a chance in action. Upon getting possession of the l)all on their own 40 yard line, the Toilers drove straight down the field for the first 6 points. It was the result of a pass to Gland, then a lateral to Mathews, who in turn lateralled the pigskin to LaRusso, Overlin kicked the only conversion of the game. From the Jordan 9 yard line, Overlin broke through right tackle carrying the ball over the zero marker for the second score. Gland took a reverse from Overlin on the Bulldogs ' 16 yard stripe and swept wide around end marking up another tally. The visitors scored during the time that the Purple and Grey second and third string players were in action. Although the Manual first string was sent into the game, they were unable to stop the Jordan touchdown. A drive from the Artisan 35 yard line and the pass to LaRusso over the goal was the final tally of the game. 134 THE ARTISAN W ' 3 7 3LB a il mj t SOi SRI aHI LaRusso breaks in the clear for a pass BELMONT BE ATE X Manual 20, Belmont 6 Out of a mass of Green and Black emerged a victorious Purple and Grey eleven, leaving another defeated foe in its trail. The entire Belmontian section went wild as the Hilltoppers crossed the Toiler goal. It was in the first quarter when Belmont made a sustain- ed drive of 85 yards, crossing the last chalk mark. The conversion was hlocked hy the fast, shifty end. Simpson, leaving a trace of hope in the Manual rooters. The Artisans came back with a fighting spirit. They made a march lo the Belmont 11 yard line and fumbled, but they could not he stopped. A little later, Overlin heaved Simpson a 24 yard pass for the first Manual ])oints. The pigskin hit the left goal post on its way through the uprights to add to the satisfaction of Artisan spectators. Receiving a fumble on their own 6 yard line, the Toilers covered 94 yards of ground without once losing the hall thereby scoring another Manual goal and making this one of the best offensive drives yet seen. The Toilers started another touchdown march from the Belmont 22 yard line after taking advantage of the Hillto])pers ' wandering pass. The main menace of the Hilltopper ' s was Glue Fingered Simpson, the Manual right end who had not seen action in a few previous games, due to injuries. The trij)le threat ace of Belmont. Al Xorman. often broke into the Manual secondary defense with his snakchippcd running. ATHLETICS 135 | %r i ' ' ♦ s ' - -T« Simpson scores on a pass ROMANS RETREAT Manual 12, Los Angeles The City Championship squad of Toilers rose to its full height on Friday, December 11. bringing about the downfall of Ron:e. The first Manual digit came late in the opening quarter. The Purple and Grey Warriors took possession of the ])igskin on their own 30 yard line. A mixture of reverses to LaRusso. line bucks, passes, etc.. com])letely baffled the strong Roman army. From the 25 yard stripe. Overlin uncorked a pass to Mathews. The latter trotted the remaining 15 yards to the L.A. goal. vSigns of the Toilers ' second score were in sight as Fears. Manual ' s left guard rushed in and blocked a fourth down kick giving the Artisans the ball in scoring territory. Overlin threw another one of his perfect passes to Simpson for the last score of the day. The only L.A. threat was in the last few seconds of the game as the Blue and White pulled the hidden end play. The game ended with the Romans on the Manual 5 yard marker. The team as a unit, and as individuals played better than ever before. Overlin proved to be the man for the All-City half position as he tore off 3S yards in one of the outstanding runs recorded in the final game. LaRusso hit the ends on the reverse plays with the power of a steam-roller. Mathews blocked and called signals perfectly. Each time Wynne drove thru the center of the line, a gain for the Artisans was recorded. 136 THE ARTISAN W 37 Wynne stopped aftL-r a llllrt a n FOOTBALL CARXI L South 14, North 39 The north by releasing a fast shifty running attack and an accurate })assing attack completely outplayed the Southerners. Twelve of the City ' s best schools particip ated in the carnival. Six of these represented the South and six upheld the honors of the North. Six 15 minute games were played. The same power, drive, and determination which the Artisans used throughout the season was exerted on the Roosevelt Roughriders. Failing to stave off the terrific impact of the Manual second stringers, the Rough- riders went down in ruins. In the first period. Van Nuys crossed the Luzinger goal twice giving the Northerners an early lead. Bell representing the South, held San Fernando to a 7 to 7 deadlock. A strong eleven from University High pushed over a score against Jordan, to add 6 more points for the North. Belmont of the North, starring that flashy halfback, Norman, succeeded in marking up 14 points against Narbonne. Manual crossed the Roosevelt goal for the second Southern score. The hardest fought liattle of the day was that of L.A. and Washington. Both teams played hard without making any progress. Thus concluded the fourth annual football Carnival with the North- erners having the u]iper hand. ATHLETICS 137 Bill Ovcrliu : liill ' s accurate and well timed passes as well as his brilliant ball-packing made him one of the city ' s outstanding lialf backs. His well trained toe will long be remembered for sav- ing the ' ashington game. Bill was an All-City selection, and will not be back next fall. Johiuiy IVyiinc: Johnny was one of the hardest tacklers and best defensive men on the team. His power to drive thru the line and his good execution of plays helped a great deal in the Toilers victory march. Johnny has already made two letters at Manual and will undoubtedly make his third. Ned Mathnvs: Ned was perfect in his calling of signals. He was a good leader of inter- ference and an excellent blocker. He was also a wide awake de- fensive man always ready to in- tercept a pass or make a tackle. Ned was a former member of the Class B who made good in varsity competition. He will be among the missing next season. Louis LaRusso : Louie was of great value to the team on the reverse plays. He was a brilliant and an All-City nominee. Louis was a steady, reliable man who made a letter each of the three years he attended Manual. He will be another missing link from next year ' s team. 138 T Jl E ARl ' I S A N W ' 3 7 Don Wilier : Don is another lentil grader making a letter. He was going very strong at the be- ginning of the season, but was unable to continue with the first string due to injuries. Don will undoubtedly answer roll call next erid season. Charles fears: Chuck was one of the constantly improving l layers. He was a great fighter and a good defensive man. Al- thcnigh Charles was one of the least praised men on the squad, his return next year should great- ly strengthen the line. Balfour Gland: Bal spent most of his time in the opponent ' s backfield breaking up their plays. His fast charging tactics and his excellent offensive play has made a berth for him on the All-City selection. Balfour will never again be seen in action on the Manual football scquad. Bud Burdick: Bud has ren- dered his services to the Manual team for his third and last year. Bud was a good defensive man and could also be depended upon to open holes in the opposing lines. ATHLETICS 139 Edzcard Ira ' iii : lid was a great l)layer. He was one of the best defensive men and was just as capable on offense. ery seldom would there be a gain around his end. The thought that Ed still has another year of competition takes a big load from everyone ' s mind. Joe Riicffgcrs: Joe was one of the best blockers on the team, and was a good leader of inter- ference on end runs and reverses. He was a consistent player, al- ways playing heads-up football. Joe turned in a successful year on the Toiler line and will be missed in the future. Loiiiiic Cicjitry: Lonnie was one of the tenth graders who made a letter, and may well be remembered for heaving the scoring pass to Overlin, saving the Jefferson game. Lonnie ought to prove himself to be one of the best backs in the citv. Bob Siiitf soii : Ijob was the fast charging right end. He de- veloped into one of the premier wingmen of the city. His habit of breaking into the backfield made it difficult for the opponents to gain around his end. The L.A.- Manual game concluded Bob ' s prep football career. 140 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 Bruce Snlizlcr: Bruce is one of the best defensive men. He is a hard player and has the abihty to stop any play over his terri- tory. Bruce has one more year, and ought to develop into one of llie strongest linemen. Bill Thomas: Bill held down the right tackle position and has done a great deal toward break- ing up the enemies ' plays and shattering the lines for the Man- ual backs to walk through. Bill has served his third and last year on the varsity squad. Kenneth McCoiirt: Kenneth is now a senior and will be missed enormously next sea son. Only the brilliancy of Mathews kept a worthy quarterback from being on the first team. Kenneth was a good signal caller, and an alert defensive man. Melvin Dennis: Melvin was responsible for opening holes for the ball carriers. He was a very reliable man, always playing a consistent game. Melvin is an- other former Class B player who made good in varsity. He will never again answer roll call at Manual grid meetings. ATHLETICS 141 ;; Doyle: Jim was head of the athletic managers and president of the Toiler Club. He had charge of all equipment and its distribution. Jim was a dependable worker. Johiiiiv Scoliiios: Johnny, ])robably the best defensive man ever to enter a i -e]) gridiron, has been voted All Southern California center for the second successive year. He was a co-captain and a three year letterman. Johnny was a consistent wiry player and will particularly be missed by the next year ' s team. James Blez ' ett : During his regime as varsity football coach, James Blewett has developed several championship teams from i)ractically all trreen material. Irving Fried en : Irving was a good hard worker. He was the as- sistant athletic manager and proved helpful to the teams by arranging, and helping in the distribution of equipment. 142 THE ARTISAN W ' .W ATHLETICS 143 Uestings Condos MagnantQ UiQshima E.

In the first league game, Huntington Park was put out of competi- tion as the Purple and Grey clad men stacked up 19 points to a mere 6 for the Spartans. The scoring honors were shared Ijy Schmidt, Wilson, ' Tron Man Condos, and Mills. The well organized defensive play of the championship lightweight team kept Polytechnic and Jefferson scoreless. Washington, proliahly the strongest team of all, forfeited the game to Manual Arts due to the in- eligibility of several of the active members on the Cienerals ' team. The Artisan Lightweights were recognized as Southern League Champions after defeating Fremont by a 20 to 6 score. Schmidt ' s sen- sational eighty-three yard run back of a kickoff was the highlight of the game. The Toiler squad met Holl ywood in the first of the City Champ- ionship playoffs. Jack Hastings made the only touchdown of the game after receiving a pass from Nicky Condos. Thus another victory was marked up for the Class B team of Manual Arts. In a game featured by fumbles, the Artisans eked out a 6 to victory over the L.A. Romans. With only a few minutes of play remain- ing, Magnante threw a pass to Mills for the score. Those outstanding on the team are ; Rudy Blanchard, Bud Peterson, Bob Miller, Ted Miller, Vince St. Onge. Asiachi Hieshima, Bill Mills, Ted Josale, Bob Magnante, Bob Schmidt, and Travis French. ATHLETICS 145 CRUSS LUL ' X ' ilvV An extraordinarily aljbreviated cross country season found the W ' 37 Manual Arts leather lungers emerging with one victory and one defeat in the only two inter-school meets on the schedule. The squad Visited Los Angeles High for the first meet, and was conquered 23-32 in a race featured by an exciting last lap sprinting duel between John Butler of L.A. and Lloyd Lane of Manual. Jack Kimble ran a fine race in setting the pace during the first four quarters, and placed fifth. Elias Gomez and Alan Cummings also finished high. The second meet saw the Toiler l arriers triumphing over the Ro- mans and Glendale Dynamiters in a triangular meet; the score M.A. 36, L.A. 39, Glendale 49. Butler and Lane again fought it out on the stretch, the former breaking the tape, victor by a close margin. Cummings, Camp- bell, Gomez, and Fueger repeated their good performances, finishing seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth respectively. Lloyd Lane was easily the outstanding Artisan distance man; his close contests with Butler were the highlights of the season. Jack Kimble, Pat Campbell, Elias Gomez. Al Cummings, Bi ll Heath, Jim Nells. Tom Ham. Ed Cummings, Jack Fueger, Paul Lisowitz, Jack Cunningham, comprised this year ' s hilltopper squad. 146 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 CEE FOOTBALL Dvie to some difficulty in securing a coach for the midgets, they were somewhat delayed in getting under way. and consequentl} ' were edged out of the championship race. The Toilers visited the Buccaneer ' s field for the league opener, and a succession of had breaks coui led with many disastrous fumbles, aided San Pedro in ekeing out a 13-6 victory. Two weeks later, finally rounding into form, Fairfax came to Wil- son Field and was downed 12-6 by an improved Toiler eleven. The Artisan tallies were scored by Bob Doyle and Shigeru Xakahara during the first five minutes of play. Hamilton was decisively trounced by a score of 6-0. The Manual team amassed twelve first downs, while holding the Federalists to one. Shozo Saito made the lone touchdown late in the fourth quarter on a line plunge from the two yard line. Travelling to L.A. High for the final league game, a fighting Toiler eleven overcame the Romans 12-7 in a thriller. The locals went into the lead in the second ])eriod, when Saito ran from the thirteen yard stripe to a touchdown. L.A. forged ahead on a long pass, resulting in a tally. Going into the fourth quarter on the short end of a 7-6 count, the Artisans regained the lead when Don Francis took a Roman fumble and scam- pered thirty-three yards to a score. The players deserve a world of praise for their showing. Captain Bob Doyle, fullback; Lewis Finkle. right half; Shozo Saito, left-half; and Bruce Lee, quarterback ; comprised a fast and versatile backfield. The forward wall, which consisted of Don Francis and Shigeru Nak- ahara, ends ; Bob ICvans and Ron Thomas, tackles ; James Yound and Jack Denny, guards; and George Devlin, center; was a tough, hard charging unit. Much credit is also due Coach Al Peggs. who assisted the squad to its high standing. ATHLETICS 147 LETTER-MEN ' S SOCIETY The Lettennen ' s Society has heen organized for the students of Manual who have received a letter or a numeral in some sports activity. This club tries to maintain good sportsmanship among students of the school at all times. The Lettermen ' s dance is recognized as one of the foremost school activities. It is a big success every year. Its officers this year inckide Kent Root, president, a cross country runner; Frank Shaw, vice president, is a first string casaba tosser ; John Scolinos, secretary-treasurer, the AH Southern California candidate for center; Bill Overlin, sergeant-at-arms, the spark of the JNIanual football team ; and Coach Blewett, adviser.

With the help of the officers : President. Jim Doyle ; vice presi- dent. Bob Kemp; secretary and treasurer. Barry Dance; and sergeant- at-arms. Gerald Kane, the managers have been able to spur their teams to victor} ' . Every time a Manual eleven ran on the field hours of toil and prep- aration were spent by the managers Irving Frieden. Earl Markham. and Sterling Frick. With basketball and cross country it was the same story, the man- agers Paul Clark. Bert Johnson. Don Harlon. and Allan Curr worked unceasingly to help their teams. Other managers who played important parts in athletic activities were Barn,- Dance, preparations; Gerald Kane, doctor; Richard Hill- man, bleachers ; Frefl Pump, Foster Gym ; Bill Keske. gym team ; and Xorwood Reiff, field. YELL LEADERS Lawrence Lawson : Lawrence was elected head yell king l)ecause of his jjast experiences. With the cooperation of the other yell leaders, he succeeded in bringing back the ' ' Old [Manual Spirit. Bob Bennett : Bob assisted Lawrence throughout the term in leading veils and pepping up the student body. His tumbling stunts added much toward success. Jack Baldwin : Jack was always willing to do anything for the school. He was a hard worker and a good yell leader. Fred Fritz Grinnell : Fred is one of the most popular fellows at Manual. Fritz alwavs bears the smile that makes friends. 150 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCTATK )X The aim of the G.A.A. at ALinual Arts has always l)een to promote physical and mental efficiency, good sportsmanship, and high athletic and social standings.

ATHLETICS 151 WILSON FIELD 152 THEARTISANW ' 37 THE FIRST SUBMARINE, SEA-PLANE, AND DESTROYER By Violet Hughes SUBMARINE 1 ' lie first definite pioneer in the development of the modern suhniar- ine, in the United States, was John P. Holland. Engineers in England and France were making progress, but they owed much to him. His first sub- marine, built in 1877, was a crude one-man boat with a ])etroleum motor. Later ones were unsatisfactory, but each embodied some improvement, until in 1899 he built the first to be accepted by the navy. This was pro- pelled by a gasoline engine on the surface and an electric motor when sub- merged. However its real usefulness began with 1907-1912, when the Diesel engine, burning heavy oil, was introduced. SEA-PLANE The first practicable sea-plane (1911) was the invention of another American, Glenn H. Curtiss. In 1914 he produced a flying boat double the size of those previously made ; named the America. She flew thirteen hours at a speed of about 50 knots, which was equal to that made by the best land airplanes at that time. Though she was never tried for a trans-Atlantic flight, for which she had been designed, she served as a stepping stone and a valual)le one, to the new, modern, and proven sea-planes. DESTROYER In only one other type of warship (except frigates) did the United States keep pace with her rivals, and that was the destroyer. Our navy in 1898 included eighteen torpedo boats, but though suggesting great possibilities for harbor defense they had never demonstrated their value. Already there had been evolved the effectual enemy of the torpedo boat, the torpedo boat destroyer, which was su perior in sea- worthiness, speed, and armament. Because of greater size, its cruising radius (depending on fuel capacity) was enormously increased, and it could accompany the fleet and take part in maneuvers. At the beginnnig of the Great War ( 1914) we had about fifty destroyers, which through less than half of those in either the British or the German Navy, were a strong force, one that with the addition of those building was to bring great credit to our navy. miLITRRV 154 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 Maj.

DRnmn music 176 T H E A R T I S A N W 3 7 GONDOLA PHILADELPHIA By Violet Hughes In luly of the year 1776 two men walked by a hillside near Skenes- horo. but they paused and examined a grove of trees. One saw a definite number of oak trees, the other had visions of a Continental war vessel. Then in the year 1776 at Crown Point, the following entry was writ- ten by a Continental soldier in the journal of Bayze Wells : 20th Aug. Tuesday 9 A.M. Gundelo Philadelphia Cpt. Rice arrived. Later in the report of the battle at Valcour on Lake Champlain, a single sentence written by the commander of the American fleet at Schuy- ler ' s Island on the day of the battle October 12. 1776: The Philadelphia was hulled in so many places that she sunk about one hour after the engagement. We return to the battle on Oct.ll, 1776 — -The day is nearly done and the western sky is lighted by the setting behind the Adirondacks along with the mooching flash of the guns and the bursts of the bomb shells as the first still contends desperately with a superior British fleet for the mastery of an inland sea, the high road from Canada. The American fleet of 15 small vessels, anchored in crescent for- mation between Valcour Island and the mainland, has withstood the attack of the British fleet under Sir Guy Carleton. Soon the British fire slackens and one by one their gun boats leave their battle position to drop down the bay and anchor for the night under the protection of the guns of the In-, flexible, Maria, and Thunderers. Daylight will return and with it they will return to complete the destruction of this dirty, ragged rabble that dares oppose the ruler of the seas. Such respite is welcomed by the American fleet, who firing parting shots, heave up their anchor and pull a few hundred yards north to a position well out of range of their enemy ' s guns. The gondola, Philadelphia is one of the last to leave the battle line. She has received two shots in her port side above the water line, and one 24-pound shot through her star board bow just at the water line, and through this hole the water flows fast. The anchors come up to the catheads and the men at the sweeps be- gan to swing the bow away from the enemy line. The excess weight of the anchor has carried the 24-hole shot under water. The gun deck was awashed and the bow slips under water. Then she came to rest 60 feet below on the soft mud at the bottom of the bay. There was never much to this gondola, but it teaches us a great les- son.

Eby, began its first successful term as a separate unit. In the past the Players ' Company has won fame and honor through its dramatic productions at Manual as the Senior and Junior Players ' Companies, the latter being made up of the experienced act- ors and actresses. This year the Players ' Company presented the student body with Clothes Make the Man, a comedy from Booth Tarkington ' s Seven- teen, dramatized by ' iolet Hughes and Helen M. Brown. It proved to be as much a success as those presented a few years ago in the auditorium. The officers in the club are, president, Jack Hicks; vice-president, Florence Blurock ; secretary, Virginia Hays. This year there were chosen thirty active members and five associate members who, after more ex- perience, will be honored with active membership. M. A BAND STRING ENSEMBLE MUSIC CLUB D R A M A A N D M U S I C 179 MANUAL ARTS BAND The Manual Arts Band, an organization that comhines both the Army Band and the Concert Band, has kept up with the school itself. Like the school, it is new in appearance, sound in performance, and has a keen sense of school spirit. Flashing uniforms, good music, new dazzling maneuvers, assisted to make this football season one never to be forgotten. A battery of drum- majors added more glamor to the performances. The twirlers, Howard Shirley, Jack Hicks, Roy Billings, and George Ziser, were very proficent in the art. The officers for this successful term have been George Ziser, pres- ident ; Arnold Von Der Lohe, vice president ; Jack Hicks, secretary ; Jack Morris manager ; and Bill Tanner, treasurer. Mr. Killgrove. the musical instructor and director, has been respon- sible for the very efficient drill manuevers, many of which he originated. MANUAL ARTS STRING QUINTETTE Famous? Xo doubt of it. Why? Because, in the first place, the Quintette plays good music well. In the second place, this group is will- ing to share its music with others. These musicians have played for many organizations on our campus, and for them to play once, gener- ally means a request for a return engagement. This semester ' s work off the campus includes performances at the University of Southern California, at church and club entertainments, at the Orthopedic Hospital, and at a luncheon meeting of Teachers ' Institute. Manual Arts is fortunate in having such an able group of musicians to represent the school in our community. Those playing in the Quintette are Ed Click, first violin; Gendora Calderwood, second violin; Sam Cohen, viola; Jeanette de Moulin, cello; and Clara Silvers, piano. Miss Ina M. Davids is musical director and adviser. THE MUSIC CLUB The Music Club of Manual is one of the special activity clubs and has for its motto Good Fellowship through Music. It presents programs of modern music, and in so doing, seeks to discover the musical talent of the school and to give such students an opportunity to liecome known to the student body. The club also supports any outstanding programs given by visiting artists, many of which have been given this semester by the coml)ined nuisic and art activity in 253. Miss Leonorc Snow is the adviser. 180 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 GIRLS ' LYRIC CLUB MANUAL FOUR A CAPPELLA CHOIR D R A M A A N D M U S I C 181 DEDICATED TO THE GIRLS ' LYRIC CLUB By An Old Member Music is a real friend to me. Together we climb to a high hilltop, From where I can see the spirit of l eauty. Now I can sing with the birds ; Now I can dance with the wind ; Now I can laugh and be free. This is a magic hilltop, For on it I can touch the heart of all humanity. ■ Dear Pal: Many thanks for your poem. I know now that you feel as I do about music, and because you loved Lyric Club as I do now, I will teil you about our good times this term. All the girls have been so friendly. It began with our Get Ac- quainted party ; then we had a costume Hallowe ' en party with the Aeolian Club. My mother felt the friendly spirit too, when we entertained all our mothers at tea in the Practice House. Then we have learned such fine music and have worked hard to sing it well. Best of all we have shared our pleasure with others in giving public performances, both inside school and for outside organizations. Sometime I ' ll tell you al)out our program at the Orthoj e ' lic Hospital when we took gifts to the less fortunate children there at Christmas time. Our greatest program of the year is, of course. Commencement. I ' m so glad for the new girls who are coming in next term. Just wait until they know about all the interesting things being planned for the club! Our ofificers for the term have been Margaret Shedden, president ; Betty Schwankovsky. vice president; Barbara Colflesh, secretary; Charlotte Naley, treasurer; Virginia Hays, student adviser. Miss Davids is ' Oiu ' music director and sponsor. Your old friend. Pat P.S. We have new blue sweaters with blue and white eml lems. Just our colors ! 182 THEARTISANW ' 37 A CAPPELLA CHOIR In a lovely room, surrounded by lovely flowers, a very fine group of Manualites, boys and girls, meet daily at the pleasant task of singing. To those who really crave the enjoyment of working and being with others, in singing and blending their voices in harmonious sound, this period of the day is a real treat and one highly valued. About fifty young voices rise and fall in cascades of sound, both sacred and secular songs composing their repertoire. To be self-sufficient in harmonic sound is the ambition of this choir, which, from the meaning of its name, sings without any instru- mental accompaniment, this custom being a very honored and ancient tradition among the musicians of many countries. lany splendid friendships are formed in this group and happiness reigns here every day. The much looked forward to social event of the term was a highly successful Christmas party held in the swimming stadium in December, which was followed by the first public appearance of the term, when the choir entertained the school with lovely Christmas carols the last day before the holiday vacation. A January concert planned for an evening program climaxed the season. This fine club is led by Irol Alcock, president ; Jeannette Hoyt, vice- president ; Lois Murphy, secretary-treasurer ; and Alary Houston and Sara Armijo as librarians. Miss Elizabeth R. Mottern is the sponsor and director of the A Cappella Choir. VOCAL CLUB A very interested and interesting group of students including both those who sing, and those who merely enjoy vocal music, has met this semester for some most unusual programs. Any one who loves singing is eligible to join this clul), of which Miss Mottern is sponsor. The first meeting was held in conjunction with the Music and Art Club, and the Music Club, at which time the delightful Spanish and Mexican program was so thoroughly enjoyed. The other programs were just as enlightening and entertaining and included a very splendid concert by the Federal Alusic Grand Opera Ouartettc which proved to be a most excei)tional treat. Programs such as these, and of such high calibre are planned for this )cal Club, and c er - student feels well repaid for the time and interest spent in these chib meetings. The sense of inspiration to do bigger and finer things in the realm of music will, no doubt, lead many to develop talents which will enrich their lives, making music a constant source of enjoy- ment to themselves and t o others. DRAMAANDMUSIC 183 AEOLIAN CLUB Blue and gold, we sing to diee, could easily become the first linc-s of a song- which would truly show forth the spirit of the Manual y rts Aeolian Club. It is a club with traditions, with spirit, with true brotherly fellowship, with the common love of music in their hearts, binding it into one unit for the accomplishment of bigger and finer musical pro- grams and the happiness found in working together. Aeolian stands for all that is best and finest on the Manual campus, and the increasing number of fellows, when tryouts are an- nounced, is all the indication necessary to understand its popularity among the students. Wearing the Blue and Gold, is a happy privilege, coveted by so many contenders, but a very limited number are ever able to make the grade, as the Cjualifications for membershij) rise higher and higher from year to year. The aim, each semester, is to become a more artistic singing unit, and be able to perform in a most creditable fashion for the sake of their own work and as a proper reflection of the Manual standards. It is to be noted that several of the programs this years were given off the campus, one during the Xmas season and one in January. The Aeolian and Lyric Clubs combined to present a very attractive Christmas program on the December Activity Day in 265. The social calendar also unites the two clubs, and their highly suc- cessful Hallowe ' en Masquerade was enjoyed by one hundred persons. The largest function of the year, is the Semi-annual Aeolian Banquet, which this year was held in January, and according to all present was the highlight of several seasons. Those responsible for guiding S.S. Aeolian. are, president, Joe Comstock ; vice president, Bernard Klocker ; secretary, Gordon Little ; treasurer. Arthur Michel ; librarian, Robert Morton ; historian. William Linton; publicity manager. Bob Hendricks; and Miss Elizabeth Mottcrn, who is the director and sponsor for the clul). 184 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 BOYS ' JUXIOR (iLEE CELU GIRLS ' JUNIOR GLEE CLUB AEOLIAN CLUB D R A U A A N D M U S I C 185 BOYS ' JUNIOR GLEE CLUB A very large group of boys who like to sing, are to be found daily out under the bleachers, learning all the vocal fundamentals in order that their group may sing intelligently, and gain real enjoyment from singing together. Many of the members of this club have never had the experience of group singing before, so there is much that each fellow has to learn, such as proper breathing, phr asing, throat relaxation, reading notes, and blending his voice with that of everyone else and artistic interpretation of songs. This club really functions as a feeder for the Boys ' Senior Glee Club, as many fine voices are discovered here, and in tryouts for the advanced organizations membership in which is the ambition of a very large percentage of the members. This Glee Club that has as its personal password swinging in the rafters, is exceptionally large this semester, and includes many well known students on the campus, numbering in its group those of track, football, and basketball fame. School interest and cooperation was clearly shown by the entry of a very clever float on Rally Day. An informal party at Xmas time was held during the class period at which time Santa appeared and distributed unique gifts to each fel- low, and following an interesting program, food, that magic word to any fellow, appeared and closed the fun and frolic for that day. The officers guiding the club are : Lawrence Lawson, president ; Bob Lasher, Secretary-Treasurer ; Jack Hastings and Bob Greenberg, Li- brarians ; and Evelyn Coons, accompanist. Miss Elizabeth Mottern is the director and sponsor of the Club. GIRLS ' JUNIOR GLEE CLUB We should like to introduce to you seventy-two energetic, ambitious and interesting young ladies who comprise the Girls ' Junior Glee Club. A large number of these girls come from various junior high schools and this is their first contact with the music activities of Manual Arts High School. A survey of the club shows various musical aspirations. Some of the girls hope to continue their vocal work, later entering the professional field. Incidentally, we often discover some very fine voices. A great many of the girls in this group are looking forward to mem- bership in the Lyric Club sometimes during their high school career. The efficient officers of this group are: president. Dorothy Thomp- son; vice-president, Margie Shepherd; secretary, Margie Turner; trea- surer, Dorothy Lorona ; librarians, Viola Wilson and Betty Dammers- 186 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 MANUAL FOUR What can be said that has not l een said? What do you not ah-eady l now about them? Who is there who has not heard and enjoyed their an- tics in their presentation of entertainment to the student l)ody? We all know them, we ' ve seen them, we ' ve heard them, and we want to see and hear them again, for when any student body sits on the bleachers and wails more, more, more, they must be receiving some- thing novel and appealing. The Manual Four, composed of Arthur Michel, Gordon Little, John Silver, Bernard Klocker, is a lively quartette of fellows from the Aeolian Club who have been going places with their singing not only in school but at numerous city wide and out-of-town programs, and are a worthy representation of Manual Arts High School. Their ambition upon leaving school is to go on into the further fields of quartette work and be successful there. Already they know the study and time for preparation it takes in order to perform commendably and develop a good repertoire of songs, which include l:)allads, sacred numbers, carols, humorous and operatic numbers. The accompanist of this Four plays an important part and Law- rence Norwood fills the bill creditably. Miss Mottern, the director, is happy to give her time to the training and development of the Manual Four, and the entire personnel of the group is untiring in their effort to please whatever audience is being en- tertained by them. EUODL CLUB D R A M A AND MUSIC 187 SENIOR AYE PLAY Bv Violet Hughes The Senior Aye Play chosen for the class of 37 was a fast nio ing comedy, the title of which was And Let Who Will Be Clever. The Griffith family, including Willinr. father, mother. Linda, l rother Piud and sisters Caroline and Josephine are on the verge of bankruptcy. To add to their difficulties Linda ' s polo-j laying mother and ever-eating sister have made permanent boarders of themselves. The solution to their troubles, they decided, is to marry oi¥ sophis- ticated Caroline to T. Bookington Wells, prominent bachelor, and wealthy stock broker. The family is excitedly anticipating the week-end visit of Booky, when brother Bud and Jo arrive from College. Jo brings along a new acquaintance whom she delightedly nicknames Erp. To add to Caroline ' s wrath and the family expenses, Cousin Cere- bella arrives from the farm to live with them, after the death of her Granny. Using her motto Be Good Sweet Maid and Let Who Will Be Clever — she merely wishes to be good — while she cleverly wreaks havoc with the familv by suggesting that Jo and hlrp. elope — they do. She assists Wilbur ' s making a hundred thousand dollars in a month due to Cerebella ' s eavesdropping, and ends the play l)y marrying Booky. The cast includes : Arabella Wilkes Violet Hughes T. Bookington Wells Charles Miller Linda Griffith Eleanor Kline Wilbur Griffith Robert Formhals Caroline yra Jane MuUins Bu(j : J. W. McConnel Tq Frances Miller Erp. .Dick Potts Grandmother Maude Bea Fuller Sister Sophie Jeanette Diew Fuji-Houseboy George Lee Supporters of the cast as Maude ' s Gang were— Mary Houston, Nat Silver, and Marvin Wallace.

Both symphonic and modern jazz music are used for research and study. Three days of the week are devoted to playing and the remaining two are used for writing. Instruction in rhythm, tone production, and funda- mentals of writing music are given. The most advanced students give some of their time to instructing he- ginners on their particular instruments. The new instruments heing taught this year are the banjo, Hawaiian and standard guitar, mandolin, and accordion. THE LITTLE SYMPHONY Music has always been necessary in the life of Americans. It has raised our standards of culture. It has satisfied our longing for self-ex- pression and it has furnished us a way to spend leisure time with pleasure and profit. As in the community at large, so in our school community, it is the purpose of musicians of the Little Symphony to help make school life interesting by bringing enjoyment and profit to others as well as to themselves through the presentation of fine music. With William T. Killgrove as director, the work is a pleasure rather than a task. Graduation performance heads the list of many important public appearances of the term. The officers are: president, Bruce MacRae ; vice-president, Roy Billings ; secretary, Glendora Calderwood ; and treasurer, Millard Tanner. THE ORCHESTRA One of the many musical organizations at Manual Arts is the or- chestra. Under the skillful direction of Mr. Killgrove the students have maintained the highest standard and are striving to make this organiza- tion one of the best at Manual Arts. The most important social function of the orchestra for this semes- ter was a house party. All who attended were more than satisfied with the entertainment, and fun was had by all. The oft ' icers of the organization are: president, Walter Schubert; vice-president, Anita Alpert ; secretary, Dorothy Martin ; treasurer, Alfred Larsen. 190 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 THE EPHEBIANS By Jean Gardner The Ephebian Society is one having for its purpose the industrial, educational and civic advancement of the city. The present Ephebian order, organized in 1918, was based upon the one created in Athens during the third century B. C. This ancient honorary organization was recognized by the people as the pride of Athens, for in this group were the finest young men in the city, banded together for a common cause, the glory of their city. Those entering the Ephebian order were required to take the follow- ing oath : Wc will never bring disgrace to this our city, by any act of dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever desert our suffering comrades in the ranks; we will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city, both alone and with many; we will revere and obey the city ' s laws and clo nnr best to incite a like respect in those above us, who are prone to annual or set them at riaught ; we will strive unceasingly to ((uicken the public sense oi civic duty. Thus in all these ways, we will transmit this city not only not less but far greater and more beautiful than it was transmitted t(j us. D R A M A A N D M U S I C 191 This is the same oath that thousands of honored high school grad- uates have taken. They liave accepted the fundamentals of an ancient organization which has proved its worth throughout the years in striving to make this city far greater and more beautiful. Ephehians are elected from each school in the city to form one large organization. The students chosen to continue this work in the city are voted upon by their classmates and teachers for character, scholarship and leadership. The Midshipmen obtaining membership in the Ephebian Society this term are : Edward Davis : First a yell leader ' s assistant, then yell king and finally student body president. Because of Ed ' s enthusiasm and pep, the student body responded eagerly to every activity this term and made it a truly successful term. Joy Davis : Always popular with students because of her beaming personality, Joy advanced from Senior Bee secretary to girls ' vice pres- ident of the student body. In this capacity she has become well known because she has a smile for everyone on the campus. Yoshiko Arimatsu : Yoshiko has always been prominent in literary circles on the campus and finally became literary editor of the Artisan. Joseph Baratti : Ranking high scholastically was the chief virtue of Joe, however he also served on the Artisan staff as photographer and was very active in the commercial office functions. Emily Henderson : As yell leader of the G.A.A., Em first was noted for her enthusiasm and interest in the school which eventually led to her being elected secretary of the student body. Margaret Robey : Marge has been well known at Manual ever since her AlO term, when she was chosen vice president of the dirls ' League. In the 11th grade Marge held several offices in both G.A.A. and Tri-Y and in the B12 term was elected president of the G.A.A. This semester she is girls ' vice president of the Midshipmen class. Irma Rethy : All three years of her high school career Irnia has had an outstanding record which was climaxed in her senior year as girls ' vice president of the B12 class and G.A.A. president. Richard Halterman : Richard has always excelled scholastically and this term he was honored by being elected president of the Mimerian Society and finally a C.S.F. graduate. Hugh MacBeth: Hugh has one of the best scholastic averages in the graduating class and is a prominent as a member of the debate squad. Bruce MacRae: Bruce has been prominent since the tenth grade as a member of the gym team. In the B12 he was elected boys ' vice president of the senior bee class and finished his high school career as president of the senior aye class. 192 THEARTISANW ' 37 SCHOONER HANNAH By Violet Hughes The Schooner Hannah — The first American warship, regularly com- missioned hy authority derived from the United Colonies of North America Commissioned by General George Washington, commanded by Captain Nicholson Broughton of Marblehead ; fitted out, commanded and manned by the men of Marblehead. Thus is the contention of good people of Marblehead that the American Navy had its beginning in their town. The town dedicated a tablet with the above inscription to the United States Navy on June 27, 1926, at which time the Secretary of the Navy attended the celebration. The Hannah was not commissioned by Congress, but it was fitted out at Continental expense, probably with the funds that George Wash- ington controlled and expended for secret service and similar purposes of the Army. Washington, being careful about such things, evidently felt that he had no authority to spend money specifically for naval purposes, so it is interesting to find that Captain Broughton ' s instructions, which, according to the American archives, are dated September 2. 1776, state that he is commissioned a captain in the Army to take a detachment of the Army and proceed on board the Hannah lying at Beverly. That suggests that the ship was fitted out at the Beverly port even though the tablet states that work was to be done by the men of Marblehead who commanded and manned her- These Marbleheaders were drawn from Glovers ' Regiment. In the report of his first capture, Captain Broughton indicated that he sailed on September 5. Active behind the scenes was Washington ' s secretary, Colonel Joseph Reed, whose services were so valuable that Congress added to his pay thirty-four dollars a month. As for results, that bat tle fleet captured more than thirty prizes, richest of which was the Nancy, a brigantine, with a cargo of muskets, cannon, and ammunition, and it was to Captain Manley that it surrendered. One more item must be added, and that is this. The first naval victim of the war was Captain Mugford, who received a mortal wound when the schooner he commanded, the Franklin, was attacked by a British boarding party on May 19, 1776. Although no credit has been given to this strictly legal and proven tablet, that the Schooner Hannah was in reality the first vessel of the first United States Navy, we feel humbled and awed in res])ect to the Hannah, and hope in the future her true value will be lauded, as well as the excellently patriotic men who manned her. FEATURES 194 T H E A R T I S A N W 3 7 THE FOURTH DIMENSION By Layton Moore The fourth dimension is one the most fascinating subjects man has ever studied. Perhaps it is its illusiveness to the human mind, that in- trigues it so greatly. Wherever you go you are sure to hear some word spoken of it, and many inexplainable things are attributed to it. There have been many explanations of the fourth dimension among laymen, some cor- rect, some incorrect, but all striving to explain the unknown. There are only about twelve men in the world that really understand the fourth dimension, but these men would not attempt to put the fourth dimension in words. They know it only through mathematics. They can tell you what they know of its properties as we would see them, or give it a title like Space-Time, but you would be no nearer to the solution of the problem than you are now. The reason that the fourth dimension can not be put in- to words is very simple. It is plainly beyond the comprehension of the human mind. Could you talk with certainty about what is beyond the out- ermost borders of our universe? Could you describe perfectly a complex piece of machinery you had never seen before? I think not. But you are attempting to do this whenever you try to explain the fourth dimension. Man is in no better position to study the fourth dimension than a small child is to study atomic structure or any other complex subject with which he has had no experience. You will most likely ask now, How do the great scientists study the fourth dimension? How have the ones that under- stand it acquired their knowledge ? It is not an impossibility to understand the fourth dimension, for they understand it through mathematics and experience that has taken them their lives to acquire. They understand it deep in their minds with the knowledge of many subjects for a foundation. They know what it is, but could not tell you. The nearest explanation I can give is, that it is a line perpendicular to each of our three perpendicular lines. But here again I meet with much controversy, for you say that such a thing is an absolute impossibility. It is impossible as far as our senses are concerned, for this line would project into an unknown direction, or into the fourth dimension, and we could not see it. Even if we were transported into a new world where every single thing was of fourth dimensional con- struction, it would appear exactly the same as our world. We could tell no difference. If this fourth dimensional world had moving objects in it, it would be a world of inexplainable phenomena, but as far as we could see there would be no difference between it and what we call earth. As I men- tioned, this fourth dimensional would be a place of unaccountable, inexplainable happenings. If we tried to tie a knot in a piece of string, we would find it impossible, for as fast as we tried to tie the knot it would slip into infinity, and the string would remain unknotted. Things could pass FEATURES 195 in and out of sealed cubes as easily as we pass through a door, and soHd objects could be turned inside out. Objects would be continually appearing and disappearing, and could revolve around a plane just as objects revolve around points and lines in our world. Now for the greatest question of all. What is the use of the fourth dimension? What good is it? Why was the possibility of such a thing ever figured out ? But why was any theory thought out ? For the same reason ; to offer a possible explanation for the unknown. Man has left very few questions unsolved, and so, when he came to answer the puzzle of the construction of the universe, the fourth dimension was the result. Could you imagine a huge square that extended forever in all directions? Could imagine a huge square that had definite bounds, but had nothing beyond its limits? I think not, but this is the theory that scientists had up to a few years ago about how our universe is constructed. This theory however did not suit a certain Swiss citizen named Albert Einstein, who evolved a theory of his own. He introduced a new name to science; namely, the fourth dimension, and give us a theory that is to my way of thinking perfect. Many great men disagree with Albert Einstein regarding fourth dimension. They say there is no such thing. Great men have met with dis- agreement before, but why should man, a mere infinitesimal speck, living on a grain of dust, declare that there is no higher dimensions than those with which he is familiar? JAPANESE CLUB WINS RALLY PRIZE A CONSENSUS OF THE NEWS PUBLISHED DAILY IN THE M.A. DAILY OF W ' 37 Los Angeles, California. September to February, 1936 — 7 Numbers 1 to 95 Volume VIII ARCHERS WIN, 3-2 Japanese Club Float Wins Coveted Rally Parade First Place Trophy Nov. 6 — Fight Fremont — These words were echoed and re-echoed throughout the bleachers yesterday by approximately fifty organizations represented in the Annual Rally Day Parade. The Japanese Club, organized only last term, and entered for the first time in the Annual Parade, surprised everyone by producing a float that walked off with first prize. The float represented a fencing scene in old Japan. Two boys in Japanese costume were fencing, kendoists, and they represented Manual versus Fremont. Several girls in Ori- ental dress were sitting on the float and rep- sented the spectators to the duel. New Knights Chosen At Special Election Oct. 8 — At the meeting of the Knights yes- terday, the following fellows were added to the organization : Bob Kemp, Jim Doyle, Lawrence Lawson, John Scolinos, and Bob Swanburg. Lawson Elected Yell-King At Assembly; Bennett, Baldwin To Assist Oct. 2 — At the special football assembly yesterday, Lawrence Lawson was elected yell- king. Bob Bennett and Jack Baldwin are his assistants, with Fritz Grinnell as alternate. These are the fellows who will lead Manual in songs and yells during the coming foot- ball season. New Gym Changes Rifle Range Location Sept. If) — In need of the room, the new girls ' gym will cause the removal of the R.O.T.C rifle range to the boiler engine room in the remaining old building. This has one advantage in that shooting matches can now be held on rainy days, hut the disadvantage is in the use of artificial light. Archers In Surprise Upset Of Middies Nov. 20 — Poor Gobs, — these words echoed across Wilson Field yesterday morning from the throats of over 500 Senior Bee classmen as today the heretofore mighty Midshipmen still hold their heads erect, declaring they ' ll bow their heads to no one! In the words of Bruce MacRae, Middies ' Class president, It ' s over and we make no excuses. They might be a swift team, but we have the power and can overcome much bigger obstacles. Opening the special assembly, Cadet Major Joe Sanz led the student body in the flag sa- lute. Following this was the marching onto the field of the Senior Bees, clad in their green and white. After the presentation of the class song, when the reverberations of the class yell had died away, came the introductoi-y addresses by each of the class presidents, Bruce MacRae and Bob Kemp. Immediately after this the track and field events were begun. John Loyd won the hun- dred, speeding like an arrow. Riding like de- mons, Ralph Ridgeway and Benny Bauman jointly captured the bike race for the Archers with ease. In a spurt on the third lap, the three riders for the Senior Bees went into the lead, and re- mained there through the rest of the race. The sccre at this point was Middies, 0, Archers, 2. The Midshipmen, in a sudden display of strength captured the next two events, the first and second heats of the tug-o-war, and the obstacle race. This tied the score at 2 points for each class. The last event on the program was the relay race, which was to decide which class would emerge victorious. In this event, the Archers took an early lead, holding and increasing it gradually until Mervin La Fond finished 50 yards ahead of Eddie Sorensen to give the Sen- ior Bees a one-point margin victory over the Middies.

In the playoff games, the Toilers defeated Jordan 25-6 on Nov. 1.3, and Belmont 20-6 on Nov. 20. Both of these games were played at Manual. The Toilers ended the season with a seven-win, one-tied standing. A resume of the league games are as follows : Oct. 9 — Pre-game over-confidence, today cost Manual Arts a win when they battled Hunt- ington Park to a 6-6 deadlock on the Toilers ' field. Wynne made the lone tally for the Ar- tisans. Oct. 16 — Scoring a last minute touchdown, the Manual Toilers today defeated the Jeffer- son High Democrats 7-0 on the losers ' field. Both the touchdown and the conversion were made by Overlin.

According to Dr. Wilson, they are to ac- commodate overflow of classes and provide for teachers ' conference rooms. The classes that are held in them will re- main there for the rest of this term. New Song Selected; To Be Sung at Game Today Oct. 23 — The new football song Manual Arts Will Win, Boys, will be sung by the student body for the first time at the Man- ual-Washington game today. This song was written by Alice Davis, S ' 31, and it is sung to the tune of Shipmates Stand Together. Clay Art Classes Enjoy Swing Music Oct. 9 — The Clay Art classes in room 181 have gone swing time. Every morning they can be heard pounding their clay to the lilting strains of Jan Garber and others. The music is furnished by a radio in the Auto-electrics class next door. New Popcorn Concession Next To Cafeteria Sept. 22 — The new popcorn stand next to the Cafeteria arrived today and is now ready to serve the students of Manual Arts. The machine will operate every day of the school term, and only the freshest of pop- corn will be sold to the students. Toiler Art Students Can Enter Prize Contest Nov. 18 — Manual ' s art students may par- ticipate in a thrift poster contest which has just been announced by Superintendent Frank A. Bouelle. One hundred and thirty-five dollars will be divided among nine winners. The prize mon- ey is to be expended for an article of value for the winning student ' s school. 198 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 RECOLLECTIONS By Mrs. Gertrude Adams-Fisher Do not forget the faculty meeting of the school, you will surel}; be present, said Dr. Wilson, twenty-eight years ago, when he was my head as chief of modern languages in the old Los Angeles High School. His words foretold his usual earnestness regarding faculty meetings in the future. As I had long been absent from the teaching ranks, he may have distrusted my memory; but his remark made a deep impression. This day was of supreme importance to me, significant of one thing: Having crossed the continent to this far land of Southern California; I was privileged to pioneer in a new-born high school, presenting un- dreamed of possibilities that made me gasp. When our beloved superintendent Dr. E. C. Moore told me, I have assigned you to Olive Street School, I almost said, I am not prepared for grade work, but a seal was set upon my lips, and before I made any break, he added, a new high school we are opening, and my doubts fled. With my ignorance of local affairs, I did not realize how wretched was the dilapidated building, with its accumulated dust and dirt ; lack of every convenience ; dreadful stairways and no play ground. The oil of flattery was freely poured on the teachers to lead them to accept positions at this unattractive post. They were told that their selection was due to a desire to form a faculty second to none in the city for character and attainments. They should rejoice to be the solid foun- dation of a great future institution. The teachers who accepted, anxious for high school work, and here it was. As one member remarked, I FEATURES 199 don ' t mind the old building. I ' m willing to work in the cellar, if it is a high school. However one discontented grouch wandered through the forlorn rooms, announcing her previous salary at Polytechnic, and add- ing gloomily. I don ' t know as they will pay me anything here. She was consoled to learn that she would have the same pay and grade as at the very popular Polytechnic. A dreary Saturday in February found a scant dozen of the elect seated around their chief, in an upper story, hearing plans and prospects, receiving instructions, having the work proportioned ; while Dr. Wilson suavely added, I have made these assignments, but if you prefer other subjects, you are at liberty to exchange classes. A generous suggestion, which we cannot feature in these extracting days of a gigantic school. Promptly the history teacher asked me to surrender the one French class on the program. As I had no special training in history, and just had returned from four years of study in France, I declined to yield to one who had never known a day of foreign life, that she might play upon the class a practice game, to prepare herself for some future trip. Manual has always sought the happiness of its students, but perhaps the joys of youth have never been so studied, as in those trying days when happiness was the practical feature to make life liveable. No scholar came by choice to Olive Street but per force. The new Poly offered its alluring charms, and all entered unwillingly the old shack, which offered no attractions, where everything was at a disadvantage. But Dr. Wilson ' s genius and insistence with the concerted efforts of the faculty, did make of the old place a happy hunting ground, and Dr. Moore could finally tell the school, You weep when you have to come here, but you also weep when you have to leave. Manual ' s great music department, justly famed throughout this region, was born among small groups of girls gathered at the piano, where an enthusiatic teacher led them in song, composing appropriate verse to the rollicking college choruses which have rolled thru the decades, and are caught up lustily today, as Manual loyalists meet in foreign lands ; while in far off Spain. I heard the greeting of musical Manualites. Dramatic attempts met serious handicap, as stage and theatre were one, and overflowed into the crowded entry. When loud clatter across the threshold caused Dr. Wilson to rush to the door to insure quiet, he was informed that the unseemingly racket was a part of the play, due to the clumsy entrance of the Spanish servant in heavy wooden shoes. As we demand today a dozen or twenty acres for athletics, sports, minus a field or a play ground, are unthinkble. Then a few square feet of pavement were available, resulting in the narrowest limitations for pass-ball. 200 THEARTISANW ' 37 Juicy plums were expected to fall from the tree of Good Luck to teachers who might tie themselves most firmly to the needs of students, and I recall ambitious ladies red and hot and flustered, reeking with perspiration, who braved hot sun and hard pavements at noon tide, as they struggled valiantly with the big basketball. From the first, assemblies were called, and we huddled at the side of the building slightly shielded from the piercing sun, fiercely clutching the big armful of books, which were bound to slip and spill over the hot stones. In mortal agony we shifted from foot to foot, with little interest in the speaker. We were early told that each member of the faculty would address the school on some occasion, and those unused to public speaking, accepted the fiat with dread. The school had capacity for about three hundred, and accepted only B-9 grade. The study hall was an awkward room, long and narrow, with- out windowshades, so that students of certain periods were the target of the hot sun. a condition which quite upset the calm of an influential women ' s club whose members thought something should be done to the offending sun, though they did not propose to supply us with shades. School wit reached its climax on the day when certain pupils re- moved the appropriate belongings of study hall, as big chairs and desk to a remote corner, and substituted wee furnishings. A great hubbub was expected as the victim arrived, but with a quick survey she took in the situation and calmly seated herself in the little chair at the desk, and spread her chart for roll call. A member who had been informed of the plot, rushed in to share the commotion, but ignominiously retreated, before the usual quiet order. Some time later, Dr. Wilson happened in, and was surprised the disarrangement, and the teacher remarked. It is all right; I am quite comfortable, some one wanted that furniture in the corner. Dr. Wilson thought differently, and with his usual acumen for spotting the guilty, he requested certain boys to kindly replace the furniture, and the culprits found themselves sheepishly undoing their unworthy efforts. Large numbers require many more laws and more red tape, and amid hardships and privations we enjoyed compensations. As school grounds were so limited, there was no prohibition against leaving them, and we went shopping in the near-by stores of the centre, ere Seventh street became the commercial district. The joy of a cafeteria, and the rigors of a hash line were unknown, and I lunched next door, in quiet state, at the old Fremont Hotel, long a land mark of Los Angeles. As I emerged one day, bare-headed in that hatless zone, a humble laborer asked, in passing, Do you work in there? and I answered with ])ride, pointing to the old school, No I work in there. She remarked that it was a good sort of place and evidently thought me a lucky charwomen. FEATURES 201 Our spriteliest teacher lived on the next l)l()ck. She was youn;;- and heautiful. steeped in the most picturesque slang, and dressed in the costilest tailored gowns. A picture of good health and good spirits, and how she could cook! Often she invited a favored group home to lunch, and the stroke of noon found us speeding up the street to a royal feast of oysters and salad, which her nimhle skill contrived in a jiffy, and we devoured like famished rabhits regardless of digestion. Then followed the breathless stampede down hill, back to our posts, to face classes on the stroke of one. Then, as in all Manual ' s history, to arrive late on duty was close to a crime. It simply must not be. The Philharmonic matinee was a delight of those days. With the closing gong, our keys were dropped in the office, and in a mad dash around the corner, we reached the Auditorium, sure that the kindiy leader had held up his orchestra a moment in patient waiting for the appreciative wage earners who darted from school rooms. The full course taught in the orchestra is beneficial to anyone, and is almost indispensable to music students. When the land was Ixjught on the distant i lains far out in the country, plans for the new school started, and excitement sizzled at Olive street. Private homes thrilled to the i)ros])ect. and we rolled out in the family chariot searching for the site of the great adventure. We entered an unknown land. No street car in that region. Many streets were not cut through, and others were not labeled, no sign posts directed the search. Barley fields and oli e orchards spread afar. The few humans we contacted had never heard of a high school in their locale. In vain we bumped the bumps and s]:)lashed the bogs, returning to city life sure that we had traversed the outpost somewhere South of 40th street, not knowing when or where. Doubtful l)ecause of the delays in big construction. I asked Dr. Wilson Will the new school really open on time? and rejoiced in his cheery optimism, Oh yes, I do think so. And how relentlessly he worked to that end, always on the s kA ready with every possible help and sugges- tion, he took only three days ' vacation in that long summer, and his chariot was a lumber wagon for public service. Came the eventful afternoon of the first Manual Faculty Meeting. W ithout. all was glorious .sunshine. Within, storm clouds gathered and burst with a roar of thunder as the long line of teachers filed in late. Few of us then had autos, the majority had trudged across fields from the Grand Avenue car, after waiting ages on down town corners, when car after car packed to the limit, rushed madly on. All humanity was trav- elling to a ball game, and had no room for teachers. The reasons were valid, but alibis did not avail, and then and there, in forceful words, was 202 THEARTISANW ' 37 established the sure punctuahty of Manual ' s faculty. No finer principle was ever enunciated for the success of a great institution. There followed another era of discomfort on a large scale, but bright with hope, and offering compensations. Across the way. industrious Japanese had transformed barley fields in to a violet farm, whose delicious fragrance swept into our domain. Our two buildings rose in stately dignity, separated by a wide expanse. Principals administered their rulings from so-called offices which were merely cubby holes, with half-way partitions, cut out of a large class room. Sacred privacy was unknown. There were no protecting arcades, which afterwards gave Manual distinctive beauty. In pouring rains we dashed frantically from building to building, jumping the puddles and beating our way through the muddy field. Class rooms stacked with dripping umbrellas, and rivers of rain from all corners. The schedule was disrupted, while one class ran far over time awaiting a lull in the flood, and the next class had a small fraction of a period. Planks were laid down on the field, and a board walk led to the nearest street car, on Santa Barbara. Here opened the valiant campaign for car lines, which resulted in crosstown cars and our present convenient sys- tem. Petitions to the railroad Co. lay around loose, and every one signed every petiti on whenever he found one, till it seemed as if thousands pour- ing out of Manual were clamoring for transportation. Still amid severest hardships: activities were promoted which made for publicity and popularity, and from the seemingly impossible sprang the germ of our notable modern Artisan. A brave little pamphlet was this wee collection of tales worked out by teachers and scholars, in the unpre- tentious pioneer of the imposing volume now put forth by the Toilers of 1937. A competitive prize story on the Spanish Cross, won for a boy and girl historic souvenir of the distant land, which will always be a cher- ished treasure. Assemblies held in the shops, in lieu of adequate building, were still a huddle, where the lucky few found benches, and the helpess majority shifted tired feet, or draped the cement floor. Here occurred the memorable quarrel of the colors, fought to a finish between the squad determined on a gay pennant which would lend itself to decoration, they said, and the op- ponents who favored the soft blending the purple and the grey. Feeling ran high, each side defiant for its color at any cost. Our tactful Vice Principal held the stage in an effort to quite the troubled waters, when a penetrating hiss resounded from a small group which thus pro ' ed their bad breeding. My heart stopped a second as I pondered the result of such in- sult. There was nothing to fear. Quick as a flash the skilled speaker calmly remarked, There are three animals which hiss. The snake, the goose and FEATURES 203 the human. Thus classified, the culprits stood suhdued. and from that dust-storm emerged Manual ' s traditional emhlem, the beloved purple and grey. Happy was the day when the spade struck soil for the new Adminis- tration building, and with dignified ceremony the corner stone was laid. Civic authorities officiated, and to commemorate the birthplace of baby Manual, an olive branch, blessed by the Bishop on the previous Palm Sunday, was placed with historic treasures of the strong box. What joy was ours as the majestic edifice rose, typical of noble future. It grew and it grew, more alluring with each passing month, and the following winter, to me roaming in South America, came the exultant word of a dear Manual lad, Do hurry home to see our new Auditorium. It ' s perfectly grand. The years rolled on, making history for Los Angeles, and bringing changes glad and sad to our school. Impressive events the old auditorium witnessed, and unforgettable is that violent quake of long ago. during a Senior rally, in a packed house, with the graduates massed on the stage, while the great building rocked and reeled, as if toppling from its found- ation stones. Dignified teachers were ready to bolt, and to a white-faced neighbor, whispered. We must sit still. The whole school will be in a death-stampede if the teachers start. Pupils were tumbling over each other to the aisles, when Dr. Wilson, always heroic in a crisis, shouted with commanding dignity and in stentorian voice. Keep your seats. Let no one leave his place. Thus was a day of disaster averted, and to some of us the incident will ever be a memory of tragic possibility. None of us will ever forget the recent shattering temblor which unhoused us. nor the good neighbors who befriended us when homeless. Our discomforts during the weeks of temporary shelter, were as nothing compared with the burdens of the office-staff in planning the program of that huddle, and the following expansion of work without buildings. We know the foresight and ingenuity which planted bungalows among the roses of mid-summer, that Manual night continue its life in the gardens.With our intrepid leader surmounting the obstacles, nothing could down the spirit expressed in our slogan, It Can Be Done. Today beauti- ful new buildings safe and sane stretch across the campus, modern in every last device, with light, air, space in generous supply, equipped with a lib- rary which offers inspiration from every sunshiny corner. Truly, On the ruins of the past, blooms the perfect flower at last. Opportunity and ad- vantage spring from a liberal education. The trained intelligence of youth is the bulwark of national success. Spain has lacked our general advantages. Public schools were the poorest, and only the humblest folk attended them. Children of the mid- dle classes were sent to church schools, boys being educated by the priest- 204 THE ARTISAN W ' 37 hood, and the girls in convents where the nuns taught music called sol- faggio. embroidery, a little Spanish literature in form of poetry, and fairly good French, lady-like accomplishments with little solid foundation. The University rose from the crowded sidewalk, grimy with the dirt of ages. Offensive odors filled the dark corridors. Many interior class-rooms had never known direct sunlight. High nar- row benches with sloping shelf for writing, were lighted by glaring electric bulbs. But. recently, across town loomed a contract, the new University City, spacious, sanitary, artistic ; substantial proof that old Spain had leaped to modern life. In the mad reign of blood today, we read that this ambitious centre is the enemy ' s goal. Bombs burst and balls ricochet amid the stately walls. Untamed passions let loose in riot of hate may destroy this noble achievement. Unbridled lust knows no discretion, and the newest and the best are the target of the foe, equally with stately church and dignified palace of the past. Stone structures which should endure thru the ages, crash and crumble in the onslaught. The national slaughter silences personal friendship, and no word comes from my constant companion, a dear girl of high school age. Al- ways vivacious, I recall her glowing beauty even as she described a bull- fight. Tracing every stroke in technical terms, her eyes danced, her color rose, her smile radiated as she described the perfect artistry of a skilled torero. Many novios were in her train, but Fate reserved her for a govern- ment air-man. Supremely happy with her aviador intrepido she tried to minimize his danger, and thrilled with her own brief flights. Anxiously I ask are they alive amid the perils of today? Is he still flying, hurling deadly bombs for the government (Hi his compatriots? And what is the destiny of that graceful girl? Is she a martyr to the massacre, or are her voung charms curdled to savagery as she fights in the ranks with gun and sabre flashed in loyalist fury against her neighbor. Can no word of sympathy reach her from the foreign friend nearly eight thousand miles away, from her AHDIE as she called me, when she found the long name unpronounceable? In evidence of friendly feeling, it is the Spanish custom to call one by the Christian name t)n very slight acquaintance. Ominous silence comes from lovely Vigo in the far North, so remote from the death-dealing centre that I had hoped mail could pass. Again I wonder if those dear ones are victims, whose loving kindness made life precious to me in that distant land, where I was a stranger and they DID take me in. Rejoicing in our land of peace and freedom, which is dotted from coast to coast with its temples of learning that bespeak our prevailing- privilege and future ])rogress, let us pay tribute of tender symi)athy to that suffering nation whose grandeur and glory lie prostrate in dust and ruin, whose ])ra e heroes are the needless sacrifice of stupid, useless war.

So when in October, 1923, an airship named the Shenandoah went into commission, and other nations watched its performances and. in turn learned therefrom. The first perf romance of any magnitude was a triumph ; for the Shenandoah, with stops for fuel at Fort Worth, San Diego, and Seattle, made a flight of nine thousand, three hundred miles from Lakehurst. New Jersey, over a course which very nearly followed the l:)Oundaries of the United States. It passed out of history in September, 1925, when it crashed in Ohio in a storm. Two other airships followed, the ZN2, a rigid dirigible bought by arrangement with the British Government, and the Roma, bought from Italy. Both ships buckled and crashed in their trial flights. So at this time the Navy bought the Los Angeles, costing two million dollars, a giant 600 and fifty-eight feet long, with a gross lift of one hundred and fifty-three thousand pounds ; a battery of five engines, and a speed of seventy-three miles an hour. They doubted that it would hold up and feared that it would crash as had the former ones. The doubtful ones have found their doubts baseless, for the Los Angeles served well for nearly five years before it was retired. It made notable trips to Panama, to Bermuda, and to many points within the boundaries of the United States ; it proved the possibility or refueling at sea ; it landed on the deck of the air craft-carrier Saratoga. As an experimental laboratory it did invaluable work. So came the Akron, a giant with a gas volume of six million and a half cubic feet, with a lift of four hundred and three thousand pounds, eight engines, a speed of more than eighty-three miles an hour, and a range of more than ten thousand miles at fifty miles an hour without refueling. But there was more. No longer was the airship a great bubble carrying men. It had become an armored craft with guns at the head, on top. at the tail, in the carriage beneath. Also it had a hanger capable of housing five fighting i)lanes. In November, 1931, the Akron carried two hundred and seven passengers on a flight; and in January. 1932, it estab- lished a record by staying in the air for 62 hours over the Atlantic Ocean, cast of St. Augustine, while on some secret military mission. The Macon, sister shi]) to the Akron, put in service March 11. 1933, l)atrf)!k ' (l the skies from the airship base at Sunnyvale, California. Dis- aster overtook her on February 12, 1935, ofif Point . Sur, California. When making 63 knots at an altitude of twelve hundred fifty feet the fin failed, she crashed.

H U M O R 217 ' Ah ' Here rests Dear Okie Mac, late Editor of tJie Artisan He appeared a brai ' e aide soul but ALAS! F : couldn ' t take it! At last the rumble of the presses is ended and th.- last paees of ilie Artisan are finally printed, to the inimea ' -urable relief of Mr. Greenup, Floyd Younkin and myself. Accept my apolog ' es for any mistakes that might appear in this book and remember that we aren ' t all perfect. The principal reason for most of Ihj mistakes being Lawrence Pilj- my most able assistant and a very good work( r ( when he hasn ' t his feet on the desk) and I hope he will profit by my mistakes if he is fortunate enough to be the editor next term. Jean Gardner was our most capal)le historian, her material being of excellent quality and longer than usual. In addition to the history Jean did much of the little work that piles up and for which I am deepl}- grate- ful. In addition to her other duties she also found time to make excellent fudge. Her favorite song seems to be Let ' s Put Our Heads Together. As Feature Editor. Violet Hughes was so skilled in writing the division plates that I had to cut almost half her original stories to reduce it to the necessary length. I doubt that any editor had a more willing and spirited Feature Editor than ' iolet. She was undoubtedly the spark plug of the staff. The very excellent art work on this Artisan is due to the hard-work- ing efforts of Gilbert Steed, Art Editor de-luxe. As an example of his superiority the art work was turned ir three v eeks head of schedule. 218 T H E A R T I S A N W 3 7 Maureen Hart had a very difficult job as School Life Editor but she handled her assignment most excellently, her writeups being very lively and interesting. Her ability is evidenced by the fact that her writeup is longer than usual. Our romantic member of the staff. Yoshiko Arimatsu, did very excellent work as Literary Editor. She collected and arranged material for the Literary Section and in addition did some very high class writing. Aside from pestering me about the Japanese Club writeup she proved to be a very congenial and interesting person to work with. John Nichandros handled the sports very nicely and deserves a lot of credit for his hard work. He suggested many new ideas to me and if I was not able to grant all of them I hope he will not l)rood too much over my refusals. To our Secretary. Kaoru Fujikawa, goes a whole trainload of orchids. In addition to being Mr. Mullen ' s private secretary she found time to keep our material in order and delivered typewritten material to the printshop. A lover of original jokes was Neal Voche who handled the Section. He did very fine work in the selecting and arranging of the jokes. We are thankful for the advertising gathered by Charlotte Hodby and her assistant Fritz Grinnell. They are the only ones that see nearly as many people as the editor. We are fortunate this year in having four boys handling the pictures for the Artisan. Joe Baratti handled the group picture s with the aid of Robert Tedford. Jack Buehre handled the sports and some school life. Charles Bond also did fine work. As special editor Nat Malerstein did good work in gathering material and writing fill-ins. Special mention is given to Therone Bush for his setting of the Senior Ayes. Conrad Siebel ' s division plates, and Talmadge Creed ' s makeup of the miniature Daily found in the feature section, and Barry Dance ' s letter- ing. My sincerest thanks to Mr. Hansen for his understanding and help- fulness and generosity. I sometimes wonder why he hasn ' t kicked me out on my ear for my requests and blunders. To the printers and the binders go my most heartfelt thanks and un- derstanding for not in vain have I labored for three years on Artisans and realize exactly how they feel. One of the most interesting and helpful new friends that I have made this semester is Mr. Kagle. I sincerely thank him for his excellent pictures of the seniors and his unfailitig courtesy when 1 have had to have another picture made. HUMOR 219 After three years ' aquaintance with Mr. Greenup, Mr. Nelson, and Mr. Reeder. their advice and helpfulness has been invaluable and will al- ways be remembered and appreciated by this bewildered editor. As pressmen for the Artisan, Floyd Younkin did a very excellent job of printing stars for the senior pages and the colored division plates. I continually had to keep jumping to keep ahead of his deadlines and to keep him supplied with type. But although our relations were hectic, I hope they were as pleasant with him as they were with me. It would be hard to find a better pressman then Floyd and the quality of the Artisan proves it.

Everything was clear cut. done with fine precision, masterly in every way ; and those who should have been convinced were convinced. But government departments cannot spend money as corporations do. so the next step became difficult. For a naval officer would have to become an aviator, and a prospective aviator would need a machine, but funds for such purposes the Navy had none. Thereupon Curtiss offered to teach a chosen man free of all cost, and the lot fell upon Lieutenant T. G. Ellyson, who thus became the first naval aviator. How Ellyson devel- oped a hpdroplane. how Captain Chambers persuaded Congress to make an appropriation of twenty-five thousand dollars, how th ' .vy bought its first planes, two Curtiss and one Wright, is too long a . r ,ess for immed- iate discussion. So on the world began to read that experime..ts were going forward at the first aviation camp near Annapolis ; then that a flight had been made from Annapolis to Washington, then that Lieutenant Towers had est ' ) ' h-i v-orld ' s recc. 1 by ? ... Ing in the ' . oi six ' -- s ana t..i m ' nutes. Naval - action was an accomplished fact, though in its infancy. ' Vith our en ' -y into the World War came great act ' vity ir .laval avia- tion, as in every other field. From a single naval air station at Pensacola with one hundred and sixty-three men. there grew, by No- -en. be .T 1, 19 ' , twen y-one schc Is and stations with twenty-eight hundre and thirty- officers, and thirty thousand six hundred and ninety-three enlisted m:n. So efficient was the work of those naval aviators that a new c ' ass of heavier-than-air-machines came to be designed and built in the United States — the N.C. type. When they were completed, difficulties of trans- portation arose because of the great space required to house them on transports which were already filled to capacity. So the daring proposal came that the four N.C. ' s should fly across the Atlantic; and !:en ar- rangements for doing so were complete, the Armistice came. So indeed for our superior Naval equipment, in the departi lent of aeronautics we have much to thank the first famous airplane bui ders — Curtiss and Wright, and to remember that the first three naval planes were two Curtiss and one Wright. v l-f ? - Finis jy - i lyo r . cQ - A-- - - c . t -iv - - - - = • -w -w -r- . t ' T D ••r 7 7- -vui:? 5 =- ' rr, = . k ,  V % • V=H -ti ' ?
