H LA CUESTA 1930V M My Arizona Junior Arts Leaque Although no large number of students of the class of 1930 has evinced special interest in the speech arts, some creditable, some even brilliant speeches were presented in the local elimination contests of the Arizona Junior Arts League. The contest includes extemporaneous speaking, dra- matic reading, and the annual peace oration. Bruce McFate won the coveted opportunity to represent A. S. T. C. at Phoenix, April 20, in the peace oratorical contestg Nicholas Paynovich in the extemporaneous, and Kenneth Hurlbert in the dramatic speech contest. The league in this way fosters the introduction and practice of the arts of speech in the colleges of Arizona. Lowell Memorial Scholarship Prize This prize is given every year in honor of the late Dr. Percival Lowell, whose valuable accomplishments in the scientific world are universally known. It was awarded to Miss Alice Ferrell, Bisbee, her scholarship being the highest for the current year. Presentation of the prize was made by Dr. C. A. Lampland of the Lowell Observatory staff.

LA CUESTA 1930 HOW THE YUCCA GOT ITS NAME Many years ago a certain tribe of Indians lived on the edge of the Colorado desert. In the canyon where they lived the conditions were not as they are now. There was a stream of clear, blue, sparkling water that flowed through the middle of the canyon. Along the green, grassy banks grew magnificent palm trees and willows, while here and there in the meadows that formed its banks grazed ponies and cattle. Near the mouth of the canyon the creek broadened until it was quite wide and some ten feet in depth. Here willows overhung the bank, and here, too, Indian lovers met to sit on the banks or to go canoeing. In this village of Indians lived a young maid, the most beautiful maid of the region round about. She had long, thick, black hair, and her eyes were as bright as stars. A handsome young brave, Yaqui, the sonl of the chief of the tribe, secretly wooed this maid, Wanika. The father of Yaqui wished him to ma1'ry the daughter of the tribal medicine man, but Yaqui refused. One evening, as the two met and were secretly drifting about in their canoe, Yaqui confessed his love to Wanika and asked for her hand. Wanika consented. The following day, as they were wandering about together, Oosika, the eldest daughter of the medicine man, spied them, ran swiftly to the lodge of the chief of the tribe, Nolima, and related to him what she had seen. Nolima was angry, but not more so than Oosika, for she wished to become the bride of Yaqui. When the lovers returned, Nolima sent for Yaqui and asked him if that which Oosika had told him was true. Yaqui replied, Yes. Nolima then asked to see Wanika. She came, and with her gentle ways and sweet voice soon won a place in Nolima's heart. I When Yaqui asked for his father's consent to marry Wanika, Nolima readily gave it and blessed the two as his beloved children. When Oosika heard. of this, she vowed vengeance, but another brave wooed and won her, so the vow was forgotten. One evening Yaqui and Wanika came upon a tall, stately plant that appeared to have the shape of a tree. What is that? asked Wanika. I have never seen it before nor heard of it, answered Yaqui. It shall be called the 'Yaqui' after you, as it resembles you in height, state- liness, and beauty. No, Wanika, said Yaqui. Do you see those beautiful white blos- soms on the tree? It shall be called the 'Yucca' after both you and me, for you are the beautiful white blossom of my life. In this way endeth the legend, How the Yucca Received Its Name, one of the beautiful legends about the desert flora of the southwest. -L. B. One Hundred Fifty
