mlumni Dear Friends of Long Beach High School: I am just as enthusiastic a more: for Long Beach High as ever. except in case of Pomona versus Long Beach. I have the the same interest in your achievements as when I was. with you and am always glad to hear of your victories. I will tell you a little of the natural features that we enjoy here; We have the majestic peak of 0m Baldy ever inspiring us to climb higher At it: font lies many enchanting resorts within easy walking distanm Nearer still, even within our own campus, is the Wash, 3 section covered with live oak trees and low brush. The whole atmosphere of the Wash resembles the wildness of the woods and the fragrance of the sage brush plains. This woody ro- treat is often the scene of picnics and evening bonfire spreads. More appealing to the student might be the finely equipped library or the interesting science halls. Oh! it's great up here, and if you don't believe it, just come up and see. Most cordially yours, Mary Robinson. Long Beach Fratres Dear H: I am giad to extend the greetings from the best University to the best High School in Southern California. The honor of Long Beach High is being bravely upheitl at the University by a large number of Long Beach Alumni. A number of them are members of an organization known as Long Beach Fratres, which is sit- uated in a cozy bungalow a short distance from the campus.

E D! TORIA LS 01,chth Viewpolnt What are we coming to? Is it true that the High School pu- pils are getting younger and smaller every year, or is it my imagi- nation? My Sister, when she entered High. wore Skirts long Nvay down to her shoe tops and her hair in a figure eight just like mother. And my chunfs sisters in the eighth grade were the same, tho' they still clung to the hair bows. VVheu our chat; reached there, the girls still wore little gingham dresses with straight gatha cred skirts, and the boys were evenly rlisvirled between . knic1mrs and long trousers. And when my siszlcr graduated, she was a really truly young lady and So were Iny-chumk sisters. How I looked forward to the time when I, too, would graduate. And here I am. still looking forward into the dim distance when I shall be a I'really truly young Eady. Just yesterday, I stumbled in going thru the hall; and looking down saw to my amazement-a wee. wee freshman whn ditll'l!t reach much higher than my waist. I thdt at first she was visiting big sister for she looked about 1113 fifth grade size; but her huge note book and Ancient Historyu proclaimed her a Freshman. It frightens me to think what win happen in the next twenly-fwc years 01' 50. Or is it just my changing viewpoint? E. Gutzler, '12. Seniors, dunk forget to have your pictures- takcn for the Arr mtal. Hurry, the time is short. Commission government spells succc DO ads bring results? Think about Caerulea advertisers. What are you going to do about it? We mean the student body. There is a matter that we, as students, should remedy. That mad race for lunch is a disgrace to our school. Let's not forget in our desire for food that we are ladies and gentlemen. If every stu- dent would remember that, we should all be fed with no feelings hurl, no clothes torn, and 110 feet stepped upon. Page Twanly-seven

Our commandcr-iirchief and his captains are fine, and under their orders we are all working hard in anticipation of rapid pro- motion to Field duty.

My Dear e: I win relate some of my first views 011 drill, in the short space allowed. Oh! Joy, The first day of drill leaves you with the iondest anticipations, the second with lessened admiration, and the third with blasted hope. Poor ignorant little Freshies. For one solid hour, three times a week, we are compelled to march and maneuver under the super- vision of a Cynical Sophomore, who carries the title of Corporal Each corporal drills his squad, and after a few days of practice we try a very Simple movement. Squads right-is given. But hor- rors. Part advance to the right, part to the left, and the rest stand still. This brings forth silent curses from the captain, threats from the lieutenant, means from the sergeant, andesilence from the cadets. The captain is furious, but he dare not run 115 thru with his sword, so after weeks of patient toil. mostly on the part of the thcers. we hnally understand, and all goes smoothly. Very sincerely, Carroll Counts. Bachelor's Quarters, Arizona. Deer, Kids! Deer! tget the shotegllni: I've been retrospectin' a little bit thru the meaders of my high school daze and I see there is two things there. Once: A Fresh- Page Twenhr-nine
