He is the bald gentleman who sometimes writes love lyrics. ‘'Secondly I have placed the engineers. Xo doubt you have heard of the engineering firm of Carr.duff Scofield. After breaking all track records they couldn't leave it so they took to laying the railroad from Colon to Ticrra del Fuago. For seeing to the complicated machinery I have chosen Hal Brokaw. In spite of his ever present dress suit and monocle he is by far the most competent leader in his work. Another engineer that is to he considered is Ben Howard. His selection is very doubtful, however, as his third wife has him tied up in a divorce case. For overseeing the computations that will he necessary in such work 1 suggest Kathryn Burrow!-. “Now in order to get public sentiment and on your request 1 have looked ii]) ad the leading newspaper men and journalists. X’orris James, at the head of the International Press Syndicate, is able to give us an un- limited amount of publicity. Blit besides him it will be necessary to have well known journalists who already have a wide following of readers. Eric Jordan—” “Eh—isn't he the one who writes these poems like ‘Lassoing Hearts with Spagett and ‘I Love N on. Dear Bonchcad?’ Now how in the world is he going to help this along? ' Exactly because he does write these things. Get him busy writing poems on the reclamation and be will reach a great many people who would never have thought of the desert reclamation. “t ’h-huh, well let him stay there then. “Besides Jordan there is the writer for the women's magazines, Car- olyn Peirce. It is said that Miss Peirce has more influence over the women of America than any other person. “Must he the one that gives mv wife all these fool ideas. ’ Hender- son glowered and parted his beard in the middle. “Go on. “I have also taken the liberty to add another writer—John Buck- waiter. Perhaps you remember him as the lawyer who lost twelve cases in a row and then began to study mental telepathy. Since then lie has become the leading exponent for that science and has become wideiv known. IIis writing in favor of the project would have wide influence. “Though we can more or less count on the politicians falling into line under the pressure of public opinion, wc must reckon with them. Louis Bucklin heads these. He is the person who caused the uproar by declining to run for the Senate when he heard that his opponent wasn't going to be Thomas Hardeman. Said he could beat Hardeman any day [24] he wanted to. but didn't want to take a chance with the others. Rut if we have Rucklin it is also necessary to have Hardeman—if it is possible to get them on the same side at once. James Walker is also included in the list, although doubtfully. It is very bard to say whether it will be possible to persuade him to take off his smock and don bis silk bat. and show himself as the true power behind the American Party. And last are the leaders of the Women’s Party— “The leaders of this party are Catharine Rrusstar and Mary May Gorringe. They lead it like a cat does a kitten—by the neck. I f they can he convinced you will have the Women's Party behind, you twice. Miss Killam continued: “The last one on this part of the list is Herbert Dwight. It is scarcely possible to call him a politician hut he has a great following. He made his start some years ago speaking at student-body meetings at P. A. I . II. S.. and has never been able to lose the habit. Because of the unusual climatic conditions it is important that some- one look after the physical welfare of the workers. I)r. Dwight Wil- bur is by far the best fitted for this position. We will he very fortunate if we are able to secure him as lie is verv busv and takes an almost lanati- • cal pride in his work. It is also evident that men, placed in unnatural con- ditions with no form of amusement, will tend to degenerate. Because ot this I have added the great theatrical magnate, Alexander Briggs. Mr. Briggs was a very successful actor until he had a lapse of memory and spoke the murder scene of ’Macbeth’ in ’Midsummer Nights Dream.’ Me would never consent to act again and so took up the business side of it. There are only two more on my list. One of them is Stephen Arata, the dry goods king. He visited the office a short time ago and made a very business-like hid to supply the tents for the workers, should the project go through, 'flic other was a person by the name of Daley. “This man Daley came hustling into the office the other day. Wears a sombrero, two six-shooters, and a six-inch star. He says In is sheriff of Belt Hole, Nevada, and a power to he reckoned with. When he heard of you he decided that perhaps you could help him out as you were considering doing the reclamation work near Belt Hole, and would hold power in that region. He is due to call in a quarter of an hour. “Hmmmmm—well, take these notes and then show him in. I will make him governor if he gets all these men together and ready to talk business. The first is to look up General Ashley. I Pc’s the guy that put down the mess on the Island of Yap—T think he is in charge of the troops 125 J stationed in the reclamation district. W hen it is convenient call up the Kleine Detective Agency and see if Clarence Swabey has found any clue to the lost collar button—and don't have him prove that he took it him- self as he did in several other cases of his. It is a clever trick but it gets monotonous. That will be all: show Daley in when he arrives. Miss Killam left to do some more thinking for the promoter. A few minutes later there breezed in a picture of the wild and woolly West such as Henderson had never seen equalled even in the moving pictures. He was short and round : a disintegrating sombrero drooped over his face: a pair of cowhide boots pinched his toes: two outrageously large horse-pistols dangled from his hips. Henderson began to get nervous. The apparition, shooting out a hand confidently, informed Henderson that he was .Sheriff Daley of Belt Hole. Nevada. “Well, Sheriff Daley, what can 1 do for you? In some respects Henderson didn’t differ much from the ordinary office boy. Daley seated himself on the desk and made himself comfortable for an all night session. “Now, Hendy, you savvy it’s this way. licit Hole is just about as nice prosperin’ a community as ever had the misfortune to horn in on that crawlin' piece of real estate that these guys who write pomes go loco about. Anyway thev’s a fair population of hombres there and they all know what thev’s hollerin' fer. Now me, as sheriff of this thrivin’ metropolis, had kept the shootings down to one a year fer twenty- year—an’ it always come about that the Scalpes—that’s the name of the party agin me—got their man picked off. So I kept me job and in a few more years they wouldn’t have been any Scalper party left. But I didn’t have no hand in that—I let them have a murder a year and hereby testify that it was a good institution—gave the multitude somethin’ to talk about. Well now along comes this hombre Boyson—straight from Xu York with a lot of fancy knots about the way to keep order. And he ups and runs fer sheriff. Now any other year I could have lice hawed in his face but this year somethin’ went wrong. About ten of my backers died and that left it so Boyson could win the election on his own vote—and I grants him the right. So there you have the whole family histry and the skeletin thrown in. Now—I hear as that you were horning our way and I thought 1 might set your pinto in the right direction—of course if you see that I get the safekeeping of Belt Hole.” Well. Mr. Daley—don’t know that there is anything that you can do—except—well, get all these men on this list together where I can get at them. I’ve tried every method I know.’’ [26J Daley look the list and looked it over. You says,” he said, “that you hev tried every hog tie you know?” Yes, every method I know.” Well now get this straight. 1 guarantees to hev this assembled mul- titude in one place—here say—at 8 o'clock at say three days from now. And you guarantees, if I do, to see that I ain’t beat out by this billie twirlin' hombre.” Agreed, Mr. Daley—but, remember, all of them. Three days had passed, and Henderson, breaking all precedents, had arrived at his office at the unearthly hour of half past seven. With a grunt of impatience he looked at his watch. It registered twenty minutes to eight. Twenty minutes to go,” he rumbled, there is still a chance—hello what's that ?” The door of his office had opened with a crash, and through it he saw Sheriff Daley's back. Now, gentlemen.” Daley was saying, yer all kind of hot at being dragged around same as a branding calf. Don't blame ye, gents—would feel the same way myself—but it had to be did. 1 did it fer the welfare of the prosperous community ev Belt Hole. And, gents, yer goin‘ to get your salt out of it, too, when ye have talked to this hombre Henderson— limping lizards, please don't begin to talk again. Mr. Jordan”—this to a bellow from the mouth of that gentleman— I aint on the same range with you at that. Now, gents, form for the grand march and follow me —and you. guards—see thet they don’t discover any gopher hole to hide in around here.” At that, led by Sheriff Daley, the men began to filter in through the door, and, under the persuasive arguments of Daley's cow- punchers, were lined up around the walls of the office. As Henderson looked at the familiar faces of the men he felt a sus- picion of doubt as to the way they would take such treatment. Every man on the list was there—very disheveled, and all with glowers for Henderson that did not comfort him. His speculation was cut short, however, by the drawl of Sheriff Daley. “Well,” lie said, I guess 1 win. Hcndy, don't I—here they all are.” The reclamation service was a success, and Belt Hole prospered and agreed that they should have two gun plays a year instead of the accus- tomed one. Daley reigned triumphant as the sheriff of Belt Hole that year, although Boyson, in the position of deputy sheriff, insisted that the rangers wear blue helmets and billies. [27] SCRIBBLERS ’ Vol. 74 June 21, 1950 No. 1920 Entered at the Palo Alto Post Office as very classy matter. Editorial A CHANGE IX THE FAR EAST It was with no little apprehension that the western world watched the recent political upheaval in Japan. Japan had been so seemingly content with the imperial form of government that there seemed little hope for the democratic element. Indeed there appeared not a single hope for the democratic faction even after the overthrow of the old order. Lo, out of the seeming chaos there appeared the figure of Seize Yamasaki, and under his leadership order was restored. It was hut a fitting tribute to his power that he was declared president. THE PHILIPPINE REVOLT When the dispatches brought us the news that there was a revolt brewing in the Philippines, there were many who shook their heads sagely and said we should never have granted their independence in 1926. However, these wiseacres did not have long to enjoy this shaking, for scarcely was the news announced when the Filipino embassy stated that the progressive army, under the leadership of the Patacsil cousins, had the island in complete control. DRESS REFORM W'e feel torn between the devil and the deep blue sea when asked an opinion on dress reform. There is. no doubt, sane argument on both sides of the case, and the women who speak on it are all of such national leadership that we know scarcely how to turn. There are, for instance, those asking that the dresses be shortened, maintaining that the long sweeping dresses of this period are distinctly unsanitary and hampering. Among these are the society leaders, Lois Hume and Helen Lunsford; as well as the actresses Avice Irwin and Gertrude Rendtorff. and also the president of the anti-dancing league, Mary d’Antonio. But. while we might be decided immediately in favor of the reform upon reading f28] the arguments of these women, we find there arc equally eminent women on the opposing side who contend that the reform would tend to set the fashions back to the shocking period of 1920. A few among these are Constance Tnmplin. the remarkable missionary to the South Seas; Meda Conway, the educational authority, and Marie Collins, mayoress of Run- nymede. After considering the controversy so far, we can only say that fashion waits for neither time, man. nor money, and if a change is sched- uled nothing will avail to stop it. EVENTFUL I � KIEFS Professor Todd, recently brought to public eye by his receiving the Noble Chemistry prize, has been unusually successful in bis work with explosives. Indeed, such has been his success in this line that he feels that there is nothing else worth while to learn and so does not feel he will pursue it any longer. He is resting comfortably and in the best of care. It is rumored that he will now turn his attention to babies' food. The crank explorer, Alan Curtis, recently accomplished the goal of his life. Since early boyhood he has been obsessed with the desire of determining whether the gastronomical processes of the cannibals were in any way different from those of the civilized races. According to the dispatch from the South Seas his undaunted ambition has been met with success. No doubt his great heart mourns that he can not enrich 11s with his knowledge. The remnants have been collected and arc now in transit by mail. Mabel Wattenbcrger, dancer, has entered suit against John Stumble. Miss Watte iberger states that previous to her dance with him she was able to wear a number six slipper, but that now nothing less than a nine will do. She is asking S10.000 a size. Mary Little, president of the Women's Athletic League f the Pacific Coast, announces that the schedule for the season is ready. Alice Curran, the champion tennis player, states, through her press agent, May Earle, that she will be in the field next season to defend her title against all comers. Viola W isdom, the noted spiritualist, was arrested yesterday on the charge of Kathleen Cotter, the famous actress, who claimed that the medium had been using her spiritual influence against her and hurting her reputation. The managers of the Orpheum Circuit announce that they have secured the great Smith Vaudeville Team ( Perry Smith and Howard Smith) and they they will appear soon in their side-splitting act.

THE members of the Class of 1920 3f the Palo Alto Union High School, having fully determined to accept the decision of the fates and of the Board of Education— that we must soon cease our school activities—and being desirous of impressing upon our mourners the wisdom that has ever clung to our name, do hereby present to the world our generous regards for our bereaved fellow stu- dents as exhibited in this our last eartlih will and testament.

IN W ITNESS WHEREOF we have set our hands and seal this 30th day of Vpril. year of our Lord 1920. CLASS OF 1920. The foregoing declaration and deliberation was, by the above-named class, duly signed, sealed, and declared to be their last will and testament on this 30th day of April, 1920. and at our mutual request and in our presence both mentally and physically, and in the presence of each other we have subscribed our names hereunto as witnesses thereof. ERIC JORDAN, Stanford University.. CONSTANCE TAM PUN. Palo Alto, Calif. Executor without bond to be Most Anyone. [33] Iylovd Allen Helen Smith Viflal Gairaud Class of 2O2 The class of '2ox lias been without a doubt the liveliest midyear class in the history of Paly. Although there arc only nineteen in the class, it is such a select hunch that they have been able to set a fast pace for the other classes of the school. A rare combination was elected to the offices of president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer. Lloyd Allen, “Vi’ Gairaud, and Helen Smith form a trio which is hard to beat for pep. With leadership, jazz, and originality mixed in equal quantities., Mr. Grinstead would tell us that according to the law of definite proportions a precipitate should be obtained when heated by class spirit. Therefore we might expect something of this Junior class. And lo! such a precip- itate was dropped, in the form of two jazzy dances whereof the eyes of a dead school were opened. For did not this class give the best dance of the first semester? I hit not only one, for their thirst was not quenched by one single creep.” Hence they must needs join with the low Juniors to give another dance, which was also a very peppy affair. These two dances really set high school life going and therefore helped immensely in making this one of the most successful years at Paly. The High Juniors have also supported all school teams—not only in the field but in the bleachers. They have helped the Campanile in its sud- den growth and have aided very greatly in the Senior Carnival—having a soft drink bar there. A very appropriate ending for this article would he to say that we sincerely hope that Paly will he blessed with other classes in the future which, even if small, will show half as much pep as the present Low Senior class. [34J Dorothy Herdman Walter Hays Veda Ilavs Class of ’21 “There seems to he considerable fighting in the air. Mr. Nichols remarked the other day as he stepped from his office into Miss Montgom- ery's room. Well, there's considerable air in the fighting, too,” popped up Happy” Kennedy from down in sinner's row. A1 Green was arguing with the pugnacious Hooky Harrington as to whether P's should be awarded all those reaching the finals in the mumble-de-peg tournament. Verily, verilv, 1 say unto you that if you want to meet a happy, jazzy, sociable bunch, take a spin down to the rooms wherein the high Juniors abide. The class of '21 has certainly shown future generations at Paly how to get a kick out of life (without raisins, too). And moreover it has given loyal support to every undertaking of the school. Captains and over half the members of all athletic teams have been Juniors this year. As proof of this prowess please recollect the interclass baseball series. “Dot Herdman and Veda Hays were elected to the offices of pres- ident and secretary-treasurer. Kind of phoney to have two goils, but it happened thus: All the boys told Folgcr Vaughn to vote for Allen Charles by putting a cross at the top of the first column of the ballot, but Folger counted from the wrong side. It's funny because we’ve seen ‘Dot” and Folger together a bit lately. Hut to come down to brass tacks, it can be said that in every athletic team—girls' and boys' both—on the Campanile staff, in the Thespian Club plays, in the Commissioners office, in the Girls League, and at the bot- tom of every unusual activity such as Roughs' Day and the Overall Club, you will find Juniors—always active and faithful. f 35 J Billy Stratton Molly Hindes LaForest Phillips Class of ’212 Well, to begin with, as is the custom of every organization, the class held a meeting to elect leaders for their enthusiastic band. Catherine Green was chosen president; Hilly Stratton, vice-president, and Molly Hindes, secretary and treasurer. When the class reached the highly exalted position of Low Juniors, their president. Catherine Green, deserted and joined the ranks of the High Juniors. 'Pluis it became necessary to hold new elections. Billy Stratton now took the position of president. La Forest Phillips was made vice-president, and Molly Hindes, having proved her ability, retained her position as secretary-treasurer. This change of officers did not change the ability of the class to put things through, for it was not long until they gave that famous Junior Dance, famed for being one of the best of the season. The committee in charge was made up of Molly Hindes, Lilly Patrick, Billy Stratton, and Browning Smith. They certainly know how to run a dance. The decora- tions of wild poppies and purple iris with streamers of the same colors were very beautiful. The programs were painted by the girls and the punch—well, if you don't know how to make it. ask Molly Hindes. When you were buying tags for the French orphans did you know that the whole bright idea came from this class? Well it did, and they cleared between $40 and $50. Great work, don’t you think? Just a while ago the Student Council held its first meeting and the representatives from this class were LaForest Phillips and Molly Hindes. Now that you know their splendid record you are surely ready to give three cheers for this class of 2iJ . [36] Charles Sumner Harriet Oliver Maxwell Stevenson Class of '22 Well, here we are, just finishing up our Sophomore Year, the Class of 22, and proud of it. As soon as we were used to being termed Sophomores, instead of Frosh, we resolved to hold a meeting to elect our class officers. Charles Sumner was duly elected to fill the responsible position of president, and Browning Smith was duly elected to fill the irresponsible position of vice- president; although later, Maxwell Stevenson took his office. For the enthralling office of secretary, Harriet Oliver was selected. As we have never had an over supply of funds, it was not deemed necessary to have a treasurer. Not long ago, when all the classes were holding meetings for the election of members to the Student Council, we too held a meeting, choos- ing our representatives, Eugene Scofield and Harriet Oliver. Now, here is something to crow about! Of all the classes in the school, we have the highest record for Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps. This should he a sure sign that we arc going to be good finan- ciers, and that we will all make good Americans, first and last. Some of the notables in our class are: Frances Boone, who is the best girls’ yell leader to be found in the school; Louise Whitaker, the child wonder; Eugene Scofield, second to his brother in pole vaulting, and Jack Wilson—well, you know. Here endeth the tale of the royal historian of the Sophomores, and here's to the coming Juniors, whose motto is, “Watch Us Climb.” [37] Mary Thygeson Charles Tully Lois Wilbur Class of ’221 I had a head Which laid on a bed I util I was (lead. There is no sense to this verse, neither is there any sense to the per- son who thinks that the Freshman is a little bit less important or a little bit more insignificant than he is. Take f’rinstance Paly Hi's mid-year class of 22j . Class elections took place the first of the semester and the results were as follows: Mary Thygeson, president: Charles Tully. vice-pres- ident: Janet Wallace, secretary, and Lois W ilbur, treasurer. When the officers were duly elected they started out to make plans for a class party. Lucille Wilson was the moving spirit, being chairman of the entertainment committee. The party was finally given at the home of Mrs. O. Rhodes, at 753 Channing avenue. The class dance came next in order. After strenuous effort on the part of their president, the date of January twenty-third was finally secured. Committees were appointed as follows: Minerva King, chair- man of the program and decoration committees, and Lucille Wilson, head of the punch committee. The library was decorated with interlaced yellow streamers and greens: because green and gold are the class colors. This year the new executive body, the Student Council, was estab- lished and representatives were selected. Janet Wallace and Mary Thy- geson were selected to represent them. STOP! LOOK! LISTEN! You'll hear more of this class. [38] Donald Alden Dorothy Carj enter Holton White Class of 23 Three cheers for the class of 23! These children have placed their little feet on the first rung of the ladder that leads to higher education. They have attained the supreme dignity of high freshmen. But yester- day they were babes in arms and now they can creep on the floor. Last year in their infancy they held class elections. Donald Alden was honored with the position of leader of this noble class and Klaiue Thrower was made vice-president. A secretary, Bolton White, was duly selected, and they finally hit on one of those famous twins, Dorothy Car- penter, for treasurer. W ith their officers duly inaugurated they set about to give a class jollv-up. Their small president appointed the following committees: Barbara Marx at the head of the entertainment committee with Doris Carpenter and Willie Patrick to assist her; Dorothy Carpenter, chairman of the decoration committee with Donald Alden, Doris Carpenter and W ill Butler as helpers. A very important committee was the refreshment committee, which consisted of Margaret Hare, Angeline Galiardo, and Helen Pors. The first party was given at the studio of the old high school or what is now the gymnasium of the Intermediate School. The room was deco- rated in red berries and greens, which produced a delightful effect. A few days ago the class held elections for their representatives to the Student Council. Mary Denny and William Patrick were elected. This green young class has a lot of “pep, ’ and you watch and sec what comes of it. Great oaks from little acorns grow, you know. [301 Olin Hughes Marian Smith Gregory Williams Class of '23'z Room 17 has again been turned into a day nursery with the entrance of the school babes, or those answering to the more dignified title of the class of '23' . Jt was the surprise of a lifetime when they came to school for the first time in their young lives without their teddy bears and bottles. The first thing the children did, after becoming accustomed to the ways of our noble school, was to elect officers. Little Olin Hughes was chosen to boss the baby band. Gregory Williams was elected vice-pres- ident and baby Marian Smith was selected to fill the responsible position of keeping the class money and writing the reports of the meetings. As yet they have given no parties but the youngsters talk of a dance. Let 11s hope they will have something to gladden their childish hearts. But let us he patient for all things come to them who wait. A few days ago they took it into their heads to elect representatives to the Student Council. Olin Hughes and Edyth Allen were elected, but the little girl was appalled at the great responsibiity, and resigned. Then Gregory Williams was chosen to fill her place. Thinking that the where-with-all to buy bread and milk would be needed, they voted to collect the sum of twenty-five cents per capita a month for class dues. Among the new students our school has obtained from this class are: Edyth Allen, the master mind; Katherine Frank, the baby vamp; Alexis Klotz, the freshest freshman; Gregory Williams, Plato Jr.; and Martha Tabor, the human watch spring. So you sec they must at least he interesting. 140 j The Board of Commissioners and the Student Council Facing one of the most difficult problems that ever crossed the path of student body government—that of a school which had outgrown its system of student body control—the Board of Commissioners of the Palo Alto ITiion High School has finally established what they consider a model form of government for any high school—namely, the inaugura- tion of the Student Council. While government hv the commissioners, acting in conjunction with and responsible to the entire student body, has proved satisfactory in the past, the school is out of the infant stage, and the old “town meeting” rule is no longer practical for a school of this size. This fact was demonstrated by the farcical student body “meeting of February 2 j. The Madrono believes the formation of the new body to be one of the wisest acts of the present Board of Commissioners, provid- ing as it does for a thoroughly representative group of the best members of the student body, who can deal calmly and wisely with such matters as were heretofore brought up before an indifferent mob in the wild uproar of an assembly. We have no intention of questioning the integrity or sincerity of the commissioners. They have proven their devotion to the school and ts interests by their year of hard labor in Room 13. But no one can deny the advisability, in the interests of democracy, of having some closer check on the actions of the board than was possible in the old days of student body meetings, 'flic thinking people of the school regard this as a far stride in the direction of democracy and an even greater step in the system of student government. [42] ■ Harford llays — Harold Boone Carolyn Peirce [43] Herbert Dwight David Lainsoti The Campanile X ITS second year of life the Campanile, started last year as a four-page, four-column newspaper, lias grown and increased in quality as well as quantity. At the first of the year it was proposed that a weekly should he put out. but this was found to he im- practical unless the school could buy and operate its own press. Cost of production would have been much less could we have done this, but the press company in San Francisco had no presses of the right size and it was rightly considered a step in the wrong direc- tion to decrease the size of the paper to that of the San Mateo publica- tion. This size and one much too large were the only presses on hand at that time. The idea of the weekly, therefore, had to he given up. To make up for the loss of the weekly, the semi-monthly paper was improved as far as the limited funds at our disposal allowed. A sporting page was started, more cuts and cartoons were printed, and more jokes put in. We tried to have less literature and more real news. With the appointment of Xorris James as managing editor the paper took another step forward. After due deliberation as to the costs, the Campanile was increased to a five-column instead of a four-column paper, thus making it one of the largest and best high school papers in the State. The increase in size, however, entailed a good deal of expense, and, in order to keep up the quality of the paper, two successful social entertain- ments were given at which about $60 was cleared. With this money, and by cutting down the number to seven instead of eight issues of the paper in the second semester, the financial difficulties were settled. During the first semester a new heading was tried instead of the old English type used at first. School opinion was about evenly divided in favor of and against the new heading, but the old English one was finally retained. The growth of the Campanile this year has been great, and also steady, hast year it was not certain that the newspaper would live, but with the growth of the newspaper movement in schools, and the utter impossibility under present conditions of continuing to put out a maga- zine, the uncertainty has become a certainty and il is to be hoped that the Campanile will continue to grow and to expand in future years as it has grown and expanded this year.

Hindcs, Major Dougan, Maj. James and Capt. Lamson ' The Cadet Battalion X OCTOBER, 1919, military training at Palo Alto Union High School began its third and greatest year. Under the very able leadership of Major Stanley Dou- gan, a regular riot of jazz and enthusiasm spread through the ranks, despite the fact that war, and all things pertaining to war, had long ceased to appeal to the public mind, lint the system of military training that has been in ex- istence during the present year has not consisted in training in the arts of war, hut has developed all those things necessary to developing a strong body and mind. “Three-fourths games and exercises and one-fourth drill” has been the policy that Major Dougan has been carrying out and which has made such a hit with the cadets. Earl) in November the regular inter-company competition started with the 142nd company taking the honors in the tug-of-war. The 91st legion came back, however, by inflicting a severe defeat in football. In both these winter contests, enthusiasm was high and large numbers of cadets turned out, both to play on the team and to lend moral support from the sidelines. I4G] Meanwhile the military drill had not been neglected, and by means of a series of officers' and non-coms' training schools, a regular staff of chev- ron bearers was formally commissioned by Christmas. Not to be content with the wooden rifles furnished in the previous year by the State of Cali- fornia, the Paly High cadet corps petitioned the War Department at Washington for new munitions. In the middle of March, one hundred model ’07 Springfields arrived and for a couple of weeks kept the battal- ion busy scraping grease. 'Hie 142nd company found little difficulty in handing their rivals a defeat in the basketball series and took the tourney in two straight con- tests. The baseball season drew nigh, however, and the 91st cohorts ral- lied and copped two out of the three games. With only three days’ notice, the Paly High battalion decided to send a contingent to the annual encampment, to be held at Marina, near Mon- terey. Rattlesnakes, sand fleas, sand, and sagebrush proved to be the components of the site of the Marina encampment. Rut as J. Pluvius and Company, wholesale heavenly water merchants, did not send the usual spring deluge upon the cadet encampment, our boys did not show that they could be as efficient marines as they could land soldiers. The “mess was good, the air was good, and the beds were good, also the camp commander, Major Mallet, was feeling good. The boys had a mighty good time, between eating and playing games. In the series of athletic events with the Watsonville battalion, who were camping with the Palo Alto contingent. Paly came off victor in the soccer game and boxing con- tests. Drill downs have formed an important part of this year’s work in military. In January an inter-school drill down was held between the high school and the Palo Alto Military Academy. In this contest Paly handed the academy boys a fearful walloping despite the tact that a P. A. M. A. man was the last man up. Another important drill down held as part of the Spring Athletic Show, was won by hirst Sergeant Simpson. With the semester rapidly drawing to a close, the final contests to decide the inter-company athletic supremacy were held. 'I he big dual track meet proved as close as any meet held during the 1920 track season, resulting in a 52 to 52 tie. To decide the championship a soccer game was played, and after a hard fought game the 91st company came out the vic- tor by the score of 1 to o. At the Athletic Show, Captain Mindes formally received the trophy cup offered by the W right and Ditson Company of San Francisco. [47] The Senior Carnival (Told by a little boy who was taken by his brother, Bud) iY IJTG brother took me over to the high school the. other dav to see the Carnival. 1 had a swell time but inv brother he said he didn’t think he could stand takin’ me to another carnival. When 1 asked him what I did that was wrong, lie just jingled some pennies in his pocket and growled, “Nothin’.” Well, anyway, soon as we got inside the door I heard an awful bel- lowing and started to run. l ut my brother he just grabbed me by the ear and pulled me back. 1 thot we was chased by a hull hut Bud lie says it was only rch Little tryin' to sell some tickets, so we bought some. Bud saw a bar pretty soon so we went there to get some cider. A teller by the name of Lee Ate-a-lot dished some out to Bud but he wouldn’t give me any. Guess I was too little. After the third glass Bud began to sing a song. ‘Bout that time Fil Tiger’s-son came along and pulled him away. lie. was chewin’ hard on something and he asked us if we’d had a kiss yet. We hadn’t, so we got in at the end of a line of fellers waitin to get one. 1 was ashamed of Bud. but he said he wouldn’t miss that for the world. He made me go in. too. 1 got an awful sweet kiss but I wished that lady had taken off her veil when she gave me it. Right across the hall they was a man yelleu’ somethin’ about “Jo-Jo,” so we went to see him. Fil said Jo-Jo was good lookin' but Gee! he had red hair an’ freckles and an awful foolish look. Bud went to get another kiss after that and then we went down to the Minstrel Show. We couldn’t get any seats so Bud he held me up on his shoulder. They had about six niggers singin . besides a fiddle and a organ. I liked the minstrel show best of all. They played craps, n’ sang songs n’ danced, n’everything. Bud he laughed awful at some of the jokes, specially the one ’bout a funeral. Well, when we got out we saw some pertv girls standin' on a table and a guy in a loud shirt was tellin’ everybody loudly that some show would start in five minutes. So wc bought some peanuts and went in to see a perfect form. Bud said that just about “busted” him. The show that started in five minutes was ’sposed to he some dolls, hut when one called Vampire Veda winked at Bud, he just blushed awful. 1 bet that’s who he took to the Athletic Show that night, but he pinched my nose when 1 told him so. They sure was some perty girls there, 148) ■■■I •r WlUYUM AND Dt MAM WHAT AM COM£ ON DjCE !' HtAa vour Sftoi � e iMAK OM YOU ABY DOLLS WORSE AND MORC OF J J. 1 specially the one that cranked ’em up. Xext to the minstrel show, I liked this best. After that he took me down to get some doughnuts. They were awful good and I ate so many that Hud said “Dough nut eat so many dough-nuts unless you have some of your own dough, nut.” Well 1 did not have any dough of my own so we passed on to the Freshman vau- diville. We had to stand up there, too. hut I climbed up on some tables and got a good seat. Pertv soon Jack Patrick came out with a straw kelly and another girl. They sang a song and danced just a little. Then an- other girl sang a song about the Roman Xose of Washington Square. Then a couple of fairies came out an’ danced. Hud thought the cider was makin him see double hut Fil told him they was twins. 1 liked this show pertv good. too. Next thing we saw was Haba I Hack Sheep. They had a Turkish suit an his harem which consisted of a bootblack and several dancers. The program was filled with the Hashing of teeth and the charging of wooden swords, to say nothing of peanut shells and laughing. Right across the way they was a photigraph ahlum and Hud took me in there, too. A little girl was sliowin’ a album to the new minister. When the first picture was shown it was 's posed to he I nkle Si or some- buddy hut Hud says, “That’s Knot.” I says, “Why not?” I� ud explained to me that somebody’s name was Knot. I didn't want him to get mad so 1 didn’t say nothing. The other photographs was awful good too and everybody seemed to like it ‘mensely. ’Xen we went to see the American Reality Show. Marx Pick ford was there an’ she cut me off one of her curls. Hud says Rats!” but Mary she gave im an awful look and hurtled out. ‘'Nothin’ of the sort, they’re my own hair.” Just then Fil started for the door with a “vamp after him, so we went after to help him out. Bud went in to see the ten wonders of the world but I was afraid of the man-eating fish so I went in to see the Spring of Youth. Then he came out an’ said it was a fake: the man was a freshman and be wouldn’t tell about the fish. Guess I IK was the poor fish. In the place where I went, they was a couple a camels by the spring. I couldn’t figure how they got them camels clear up stairs hut I guess they fed ’em on the “Spring of Youth so’s to make ’em little babies again, i I reckon it was pretty dry drinken.) Having seen all the shows we went down stairs and Bud had some cider. Then he gave me an ice-cream cone and sent me home to tell Ma that he had biten enuf at the carnival to do him for supper.

WUO? o-J The Athletic Show LAYING before the largest audience which has even been seated in the Palo Alto Union High School Audi- torium, the second annual athletic show proved to have unusual professional standards. The curtain raiser proved of special interest to the crowd of youngsters from the Palo Alto city schools. number on the program was a pretty tactic drill by the high school girls. Dressed all in white, with red how neckerchiefs, the girls made this act very pretty. Following this number, John Simmons put his horizontal bar team through an amazing exhibition which fairly made the audience sit up in their scats. A drill-down by eight members of the high school cadet battalion was won by Fred Simpson of the 142nd company. As part of the military act, Major Stanley Dougan presented the inter-company trophy cup to Captain Brooks Mindes of the 91st company. This cup, awarded by the Wright and Ditson Company, goes to the company taking the greatest number of events in the annual sport program. A pleasing wand drill hv the girls furnished the seventh number. Following this three beautiful dance acts were presented. They were balloon dance, mazurka dance and polka dance. Four Japanese hoys then put on a genuine exhibition of jin jitsu. The Nipponese taking part were II. Toyada, 11. Misaki, M. Ilayashi and K. Sato. All of these hoys are students in the Palo Alto schools. Miss Solbrig, girls physical instructor, drew the center of attention in the tenth number, when she put on an exceedingly clever illuminated Indian club drill. Following Miss Sobrig’s act. Miss Levy gave two charming dance numbers. Her Spanish dance number, especially, showed that she is :• very accomplished dancer. Following the dance numbers, FJaine Thrower, popular high school vocalist, sang two songs. Shecld and Smith closed the performance with their unusually start- ling tumbling tricks. Both of these boys have undertaken the positions of assistant physical directors under Major Stanley Dougan, and have training classes of their own. Between acts a splendid seven-piece jazz orchestra lent another in- teresting feature to the evening. The orchestra was composed of George llackett, Hammond Ashley, Herbert Hoover, Clarence Carey, Howard Wilson, Perry Smith, and Russel Bodley. After the show the crowd was guided into the Library where a jitney hop was held. [52] The Madrono Published yearly by the Senior Class of the Palo Alto Union High School.

We wish to ex- tend our special thanks to Mr. Pedro J. Lcinos for the wonderful work of the frontispiece and for the gift of the original to the Senior class which will be presented to the school: to Mr. Albert H. Antz of the Sierra Art and Engraving Company for his counsel and service which enabled us to save money in making and preparing our engravings ; to Mr. W. F. Ilenry of the Times for his large stock of experience upon which we were able to draw. [Ml Now that our high school is becoming so large, our once adequate equipment is no longer able to suffice for the growing numbers and it becomes necessary to finish the school as originally planned. W e believe that much of the work necessary to complete our building can be done by the students, and in this way avoid the increased cost of labor. Already a splendid spirit of co-operation between the students, the faculty, and the Hoard of Education has been shown in the effort to build the tennis courts and in the flooring of the assembly ball balcony. The plans for beautifying the grounds can be carried out at a comparatively trivial cost if the students will organize and utilize some of their time after school in working upon the project. This not only applies to the hoys, but to the girls as well. They could help the boys with some of the lighter work. By working out this same broad spirit of co-operation, which we have seen started, to a finer degree, and by applying this spirit to prac- tical ends, we will he able, in the near future, to see the assembly hall finished, the grounds beautified, the athletic fields in good shape, and the tennis courts finished. In reviewing the work of the past year. it seems fitting that a word of appreciation and commendation should be spoken for the Campanile. Last year it grew, under the capable management of Norris James, from a doubtful, struggling experiment into a fully accepted and much valued institution of the school. This year it has made even greater strides in its development. A newspaper like this fills the needs of the school much better than a magazine like the former Madrono. The paper comes out oftener than a magazine could, thereby giving more up-to-date news. Again, the cost of a magazine would practically make it impossible to have a publication of this sort. The greater amount of work expended upon a magazine is almost wasted when taken with the comparative good gained from it. The training in practical journalism for the students in the newspaper work is a very important asset for the Campanile. Although we do not underrate the importance of a year book for a sou- venir, wc sincerely hope that the student bony will support the Campanile and work to get their own press as soon as possible. [56] Norris James President Frances Ki 1 lam Secretary Hammond Ashley Treasurer The Thespian Club IIIS most ancient and honorable institution of the High School began the year with the gravest apprehensions as to whether it would he able to do anything, blit ended it most gloriously. Thanks to the assistance of Miss Looney and the initiative and determination of the members, the difficulties that loomed on the horizon wete overcome, and the usual two annual productions were staged with great success. Two one-act plays were the first thing attempted, “The Florist Shop. an amusing little comedy, and “The Beauty and the Jacobin, a play more serious and considerably longer, written by Booth Tarkington. These plays were given under great disadvantages in the old Armory, where the noise of passing trains frequently interrupted them. Notwithstand- ing, they were very successful, and everyone pronounced them to have been excellently done. The casts were as follows: THK FU )KIST SIM F Maude....... Miss Wells . Mr. Jackson. Slovsky .... Henry ...... Doris Lausten Frances King Norris James .. Earle Smith .George Mays THE BEAUTY AND THE JACOBIN Eloise d’An ville ..... The Jacobin............ Anne dc Lascvne........

Vidal Gairaud . ...Alden Proctor On June 1, the Thespian Club gave, this time in the High School Auditorium, a three-act comedy called “The Professor’s Love Story,” by James M. Barrie. As was said above, the principal difficulty there, after the warm weather comes and the problem of heating is no longer a factor, is the management of the scenery. The play itself, while not being as difficult to act as “The Beauty and the Jacobin” and though it did not have any tense and thrilling situations, was extremely interesting and held the attention of the audience all the way through. The cast follows: Professor Goodwillie . Miss Goodwillie....... Lucy White............ Dr. Cosens ........... Dr. Ycllowless ....... Sir George Gilding ... Lady Gilding..........

David Lamson ....Carolyn Peirce Norris James as the Professor upheld his reputation as it was ex- pected he would do. He has had considerable experience in High School dramatics, and does better and better every time. Miss Evelyn Whitmer is a new discovery, this being her first appearance on the high school stage, but she is a very important one. She played the part of the Dow- ager, a gushing and affected young widow, out to catch the Professor, if she can, with much spirit and liveliness. Miss Constance Tamplin, who was in the cast of “The Beauty and the Jacobin,” did not disappoint ex- pectations. The cast was coached from start to finish by Miss Looney, whose un- tiring devotion certainly deserves a great deal more than a mere vote of thanks.

[61] LOW JUNIOR DANCE The Library was a regular sea of balloons on the night the Low Juniors “stepped.” And they stepped high and wide on that night of November 8. It was one of the few times that the students forgot they were in school. There wasn't a person there who was glad when it was time to turn out the lights and leave that gay scene of festivity. They unanimously dubbed the Junior “dawnce” a “(k) night of good times.” FRESHMAN JOLLY-UP AND SOPHOMORE PICNIC Hurrah for the lower classmen! If they carry all things through as they did their “first appearance” in high school society, they'll be worthy of praise, regardless of size. The Sophomore picnic, held at Congress Springs, and the Freshman jolly-up at school, broke even when it came to good tiirrs Even the Seniors would have liked some of those dough- nuts and that soft cider. Is Congress Springs a good place to picnic? Ask the Sophs! They know! SENIOR DANCE “Give us another!” That’s what everybody yelled when the music stopped after the moonlight dance. And say, it sure was some idea; the balcony in the Library will never be used for a better purpose than that spotlight. You have to hand it to the Seniors to give you original stuff. Ask anybody who went to the first Senior dance of the year on No- vember 22. HIGH JUNIOR DANCE “How pretty!” were the first words uttered by the girls when they saw the Library, decorated for the High Juniors dance, 'flic Christmas tree and holly berries certainly were artistically arranged. But the del- ations weren’t all by any means. The boys will agree that they took a pretty good chance when they drew those cards in the lottery dance: and weren't you glad the spotlight had been thought of in time. When the last minutes of Saturday night were slipping by—all too fast—boys and girls alike said “Gee! How I hate to go home!” CAMPANILE CABARET Good eats? Good music? Good time? Well should say so! As for eats—it’s enough to say Miss Harbor had charge of them. Music? That six-piece orchestra knew how to put jazz in music. But when the five famous “vaudeville” acts were mixed with the eats and music it certainly produced a “startling event.” The Campanile knows how to live up to its advertising. [64] CAMPANILE DANCE ()ne would not think that dancing on canvas would be particularly de- lightful, but when you dance under the protective glance of the Campan- ile Tower, instead of under the wings of the chaperones, it makes a differ- ence. It would not have been a Campanile dance if the Campanile Tower had not figured in some way. So the spotlight was stationed there and kept a watchful eye on the dancers below. Some dance! I’ll say so. MILITARY HOP The cadets hopped the second hop in the history of the cadets last March 13. This was an informal dance and it took the place’of the usual yearly formal. The cadets carried out their threat to make the dance a “jazz festival.” The features!—sav—they were the most original and entertaining ever thought of. Hurrah for our cadets! OFFICERS’ THEATER PARTY The Officers’ Club certainly “broke into society in a most agree- able way. First they went to a show and then—and this is the best part —then there was a most delicious dinner waiting to he disposed of. And it was disposed of and most pleasantly, to say the least. The theater- dinner affair was a good idea and was carried out in the thorough way the officers have of putting things over. It is hoped that the club will continue to make itself evident by many more parties just as peppy. THE jrXJOR-SENIOR DANCE Probably the most delightful dance of the year was the Junior- Senior dance. Because of the attractive and unusual decorations, the pepful music, and delicious refreshments, the spirit of joy prevailed in the atmosphere throughout the evening. The fluffy, rainbow colored dresses of the girls added an exquisite charm to the ball. The Seniors greatly appreciated the efforts of the Juniors, although it was justified that the Juniors had as wonderful a time as the Seniors. Even the chap- erones declared it was a dance to he remembered. SENIOR “FAREWELL” DANCE “Did you enjoy the Senior dance?” AYE comes—sixty couples strong. That was a night to be remembered always. Long years from now we Seniors will look back and say, Yea—but do you remember that last (lance we gave as a class.' There was lots of jazz and pep that night. That was characteristic of our class.” Why even the poor Juniors to whom we left our place were dismayed at such a showing. Music, hall, flowers, programs, punch—they were the best that could be had. The Seniors are rightfully proud of that night when they drowned their sor- row at leaving school in the “best yet” dance. 165] 1CTORIES in every sport have marked the path of Paly High during the 1920 season. Represented hv one of the lightest fifteens that ever fought under the colors of Palo Alto High, the Red and Green ruggers went down to defeat, fighting before teams which were heavier and more experienced in the art of handling the pigskin. At the close of the football season Coach Stanley Dougan issued a call for candidates for basketball. Fight—that was all the Paly quintet had, but they kept up the wonderful reputation of the school and no matter how large a score their opponents had rolled up. the Paly “hoopringers,” under the leadership of Captain “Tub” Hays, fought just as hard and played the game with as much enthusiasm as if they were winning their contest. The 125-lb. team had the same spirit and enjoyed the most suc- cessful season in the history of the court game at Paly high. Spring sports brought new hope to the sport enthusiasts at P. A. U. H. S. and. after a rather unsuccessful winter, baseball and track enjoyed the best season held in the last five years. Northern California and Peninsula championships in track and P. A. L. sub-league championship in baseball proved conclusively to the wise ones” that Paly High is not only alive in the athletic world hut is coming up with a vim and a deter- mination which other schools arc going to find hard to overcome. A light, fast, scrappy fifteen were the words which characterized the 1919 Palo Alto high football machine. At the beginning of the season the prospects for a championship team seemed very good, with nearly all of last year’s team in the field and several new men. who showed up fine. Palo Alto o, San Mateo 3 With only two weeks of practice, the Paly boys went up to San Mateo and held the Floral City lads to the score of 3 to o. This gave everyone great confidence, and the team put in some hard practice under Captain Carnduff for the league games. Palo Alto 11, San Jose o Paly opened the league season with San Jose at Stanford. The Palo Alto team was in fighting trim, and after a good game marched the enemy into camp to the tune of 11 to o. Palo Alto 5, San Mateo 14 After a two weeks' interval the team again journeyed to San Mateo, but with poor results. The first half of the game was hard fought and ended with Paly in the lead, 5 to o. In the second half, however, our [67] ATHLETES Hack Row: Harford Hays. Floyd Tull, Frank Kleine. Herbert Hackus. Joe I'hippen, Jack Hunter, and Allan Charles.

Palo Alto 9, Modesto o 'Pile next week the team took the first long trip in several years, when they motored to Modesto, and won from the home team bv a score of 9-0. Palo Alto o, San Jose o The second game with San Jose was not as successful as the first, and after a very evenly matched game the score was o to o. The game was continued for five minutes, hut to no avail, and time was called again without a score for either side. Palo Alto 9. San Mateo 14 'I'he last game of the season was with San Mateo. It was played on the Stanford field, and being the deciding game of the league, both teams were especially anxious to win. Unusually good support was given the teams, «about 350 spectators being present. The game was a hard tussle throughout, but San Mateo gained the lead early in the game when Hun- ter made a pretty field-goal from the thirty-yard line, and managed to keep it until the end, when the score was 14 to 9. BASKETBALL Paly’s basketball season this year was a short, and almost wholly un- successful one The team started the season with nearly all new material, and although great improvement was shown as the season progressed, the inexperienced Paly players could not come up to the standard set by the other schools, whose teams were composed largely of veterans. The loss of George Hays, the captain of the team, with a sprained ankle, early in the season, was also a great hindrance for the team, as he was one of the heaviest and best players on the line-up. League games were played with Campbell, Mountain View, San Jose, and Santa Clara. For the first time at Paly Hi. the 125-lb. basketball team attained the place of a regular representative of the high school, and came within an «ace of winning the league title. Under Captain Gene Scofield and Coach “Ducky Carnduflf, the team worked hard throughout the season, and developed some material that will be of great help to the unlimited team in the next year or two. BASEBALL 'flic baseball season of 1920 was one of the longest that the school has had for several years.

Paly Hi defeated San Mateo twice, thus becoming eligible for the finals in the P. A. L. After the Easter vacation Berkeley High invaded the local territory, and was given the short end of an 8 to 7 score. I he next week the finals of the P. A. L. were begun, San Jose having won the southern section. With a windy day. a slow field, a crippled team and all the breaks in favor of the enemy. Paly went down to the greatest defeat of the season. This somewhat disheartened the players, but they determined to make up for the defeat hi the next game. However, the following Saturday on the local field our team was again defeated, losing the chance for the P. A. L. championship. However, Paly Hi were not quite equal to their opponents and went down to defeat in two hard battles. The season was ended by one of the best trips that a Palo Alto team has ever had. or is likely to have for some time. Fresno High offered to pay all of the expenses of eleven men if the Paly team would play an ex- hibition game in Fresno on Raisin Day, April 30th. The offer was gladly accepted, and Hanford High School telegraphed a few days later, asking for a game on May 1st. they paying expenses from Fresno. 'Phis game, too, was accepted, and on Thursday night, April 29th, the team left for Fresno, arriving Friday morning. Raisin Day was enjoyed in Fresno, and in the afternoon the two teams met. After a hard game Fresno was victorious. Fringing in four runs to Paly’s one. The next day the team met Hanford. High on the Hanford diamond and won in the tenth inning, 5 to 4. The 1920 season thus ended with a victory for Paly Hi, and the team returned home in high spirits. The following week the team met and elected A1 Green, who played first base this year, to lead the 1921 squad. TRACK The 1920 track season was the most glorious one that Paly Hi has had in many years. It was one victory after another for our team, and some of the best material that the high school has ever seen was devel- oped by Captain Scofield and Coach lungermann. Preliminary Meets The first action of the season was in a four-cornered meet with the Stanford freshmen. San Jose and Mountain View. The Stanford team was naturally the victor, but Paly led the other high schools by several [71] Back How: Floyd Tull, Anselmo Patacsil, Stephen Arata. Conch Jungermann. Arthur Clark, Harford Hays.

In another practice meet with the Santa Clara preps, our buys showed up wonderfully, coming within a very few points of winning the meet. The North Coast Section Meet The greatest victory of the season for the Paly team was the X. C. S. meet, which, contrary to all dope, the local team won by a large margin. This is the first time since the X. C. S. league was formed, six years ago. that a Palo Alto track team has been able to take first honors, and the record is certainly one of which to he proud. The boys did some won- derful work in the meet. Leistner smashing the high-luirdle record, and Scofield winning the 880 from Pearce of Berkeley. who defeated him last year. The team was rewarded for its efforts by the fine perpetual trophy, a large cup. which is the property of the school until the X. C. S. meet. C. I. F. Meet At the State meet, which took place in Bakersfield, Paly was repre- sented by a team composed of the following: Captain Scofield, Allan Charles, Hugo Leistner. Harford Hays, and Lloyd Allen. Scofield took a third place in the 880. Leistner fourth in the low hurdles, and Charles fourth in the mile, which is a very creditable showing against all of the high schools of the State. Palo Alto 91. San Jose 37 The San Jose Dual meet was the second great victory for Paly. After having been defeated last year by our rivals, the latter was some- what surprised when our team came through in the way that it did, win- ning by a score of 91 to 37, probably the most overwhelming defeat that San Jose has ever suffered at Paly’s hands. P. A. L. Meet The third and last great victory of the season was the I . A. L. meet. This time, against all of the high schools of the Peninsula, Paly pulled away from the others leaving the closest opponent. San Jose. 50 points behind. Once again old records were smashed when Scofield passed the previous mark in the pole-vault, and Moy did the 50 in 154, a fifth of a second better than the old time. The P. A. L. meet ended the track season, and. in fact, ended the athletic program of 1920. A great deal of credit is due to the 120-lb. class for making the season such a successful one. With only a few mem- bers of the team leaving the school, and with Allan Charles to captain the iK team, I ah should have an ctjuaHv successful season in 1921 f73] Hack Row: Kendrick Shedd.

Teams in basketball, baseball, and tennis, under the able direc- tion of Miss Trueblood. brought home many victories. Gymnasium classes, elementary and advanced, were taught by Miss Solbrig, the physical training director. Miss Solbrig also organized an aesthetic dancing class which proved to be most popular and developed heretofore unknown talent. 1 lockey and volley ball teams were formed. Great en- thusiasm and true Paly spirit were shown among the girls tor the differ- ent sports. A great addition has been Anne Harrington, a freshman, who has taken part in all the different sports and has proven herself a fine player. Basketball was the first sport taken up. A first and second team was formed and practice started immediately. Beatrice Shippey, jo' , was elected captain. The following girls composed the first team: Touch center. Captain Beatrice Shippey; running center, Kathryn Burrows; goalers, Zita Collier and Mary Little: guards, Marv llickey and Elsie Hansen; subgoaler, Anne Harrington. The next sport taken up was baseball. On Thursday, February 13, over twenty girls started baseball practice. For the first time in the his- tory of the Peninsula Athletic League a woman’s championship series for baseball, football, track, tennis, and swimming was decided upon. Elsie Hansen, '21, was elected captain of the team. The line-up for the team was as follows: Anne Harrington, pitcher: Mary Hickey, catcher: Elsie Hansen, first base: Catherine Green, second base; Beatrice Shippey, third base; Grace Johnson, left-fielder; Mary Little, right-fielder; Davie Cobh, shortstop; Helen Brickey, center-field, and Florence Stanley, substitute. This game ended the series of the championship league of the county and our team came home with the cup offered by Mr. Dan Flanncran of San Jose. Tennis lived up to its usual popularity this year. On Tuesday, January 13. a meeting of all tennis girls was held in Miss Trueblood’s room and Madelyn Ethcn was elected captain. Our team suffered a great loss by losing Virginia Williams and Betty Wil- liams, who had left school. However, as practice continued a fine team was developed and our second doubles were able to win a cup for our school at the annual Clare- mont tournament. The team consisted of the following members: Alice Curran, ’20. first singles; Carolyn Peirce, 20, second singles; Zita Collier [751 Basketball—Zita Collier, Elsie Hansen.

On April 30 and May 1 the annual tournament at the Claremont Country Club was held. Our second doubles won in the semi-finals from Miss Head's and in the finals from Castilleja. thus winning the second doubles cup. Volley ball. a new sport introduced into our school this year by Miss Solbrig. proved to be very popular. The different period classes formed teams, some as many as four, and the following were elected captains: first period, Elizabeth Schaefe. Kmman Follett. I.enore and Minerva Doud: second period, Mary Dinney, Lois Fox. Constance Hackett, Maxieme Theme; third period, Helen Johnson and Margaret Caret hers; fourth period, Flainc Thrower, Mary Burch, Caroline Terrel, Evelyn Snyder; seventh period. nne Harrington. Josephine Hackett. Mercedes and Alma Collins. It can be seen that the girls’ athletics has been most satisfactory dur- ing the past year, that we have won many victories and have lived up to the true Paly spirit in turning out for practice.
