In these days when history is being made, this department is most important. Miss McElfresh, teaching world and modern history, makes her subjects living and vivid by the splendid accounts of her trip to Europe. The sociology classes are motivated by individual trips to public institutions relating to the subject. Some of the places visited this year included the night court, the Whittier State School and the Insane asylum at Norwalk. Mr. Rough, who teaches United States history and civics, does so in a most thorough and interesting manner, adequately preparing the students for future study. The languages taught are as yet only Spanish and Latin, but these are both very thoroughly treated by Mrs. Richardson and Mrs. Barker, the latter teaching only first year Spanish. This year first aid and hygiene were made requirements for girls for graduation. Miss Seanor, school nurse, trains the girls in these subjects and also gives practical training in home nursing. The physical training groups include all boys and girls who are physically able to take the work. Mrs. Fisher, girls director, leads the girls in all athletic events: Coach Oliver gives the boys excellent training in their many and varied sports. This year Mr. Rough trained a fine track team which won many of the inter-scholastic meets and which placed third in the League track meet. Mr. Cain, the new tennis coach, has worked with his teams. Next door to the gymnasium is the shop where both woodwork and mechanics are studied. Boats and articles of furniture which are constructed each year represent the woodwork: the cars which are repainted and over- hauled make up the mechanical phase of this study. The boys also help in carpenter work and odd jobs about the school. When new furniture, such as tables, is needed, they respond gladly to the requests. Special work is accomplished when steel tools are made by these students. Excellent training for future activity is given by Mr. Benton who presides there, Page Twenty-four

CLASSES AS I SEE THE SENIORS S I, Alazabba Cazabba, peer down upon the earth, I see 1 Carolyn Holloway, Girls League president of twenty-five ', years ago, receiving as guests at her beautiful villa in Italy, 0' Wayland Calkins, Evelyn Paine, Martha Shaw and Edythe hip . Huey. I also see Iames Pickup, now a middle-aged man, riding up in a Cadillac sixteen. He has made millions in 5 oil deals. Pl , Ah, yes, I see Virginia Stewart away out there in A S Arkansas feeding chickens, and here come Mary Iane Karnes and Mayvean Huddleston in an old broken-down Ford to visit her. In that dear old state of Oklahoma I see Bob McNeal as coach in a small high school, Bob had to give up his position as coach at Stanford because his teams were too good. His life-long friend Wilbur Conrad now has a seat in the United States senate. Freddie Tuttle, another pal, is acting as drum major of the LI. S. C. band. In Chicago I see in electric lights The World Famous Tumbler Dare- Devils-Clarence Cross, Nixon Kerr, Earl Furry, Wilfrid Cash. The Delightful Inn , a cozy night club in Pico, has the world's most famous girls dance orchestra composed of the musicians Winifred Bortel, Hazel Brock, Pauline Alexander and Nina Powell and led by Edna May Ienkins. Vivian Kay is hostess and some of the entertainers are Horace Turner and Maxine Hatch as adagio dancers, Don Hester the tap dancer, Ruby Huntsman the blues singer and Iulia Butler the accompanist. Another Star is eclipsed by Chuck Iordan who is even more popular than the great Valentino. Among those at the Mack Sennett studios are Frank Kuwahara, Ralph Iulien and Ross Iacobs, some of the world's best- known comedians. I thought that Richie Sexson and Remsen Huston would become pro- fessional baseball players, and so they have. Albert Sarrazin is one of L. A. A. C.'s greatest track stars. Claude Baggerly appears to be in a wrestling match, and on the sidelines I see E. L. Morris as his manager. When I see Iuanita Watkins accompanying Earl Ramey on the piano, I think of the days when Iuanita played for us to dance at old M. H. S. Earl is now a famous radio entertainer. ' Iane Martz and Patricia Sikey are owners of a tea shop on Hollywood boulevard. Emily Hogan makes a lovely hostess and supervisor. Some of her girls are Agnes Hoffman, Ruth Webster and Viennie Thatcher. Ethel Hooper is cashier, with Elizabeth Walser, her assistant. Near this famous shop is an exclusive millinery establishment owned by Page Twenty-six
