TO THE SEA H:irsl Prize PoemJ 'Tia difficult for us on this green land To understand the restless tossing sea. Its dumb emotions, and its mystery. ha glossy paths unmarred by human hand. We see it sink huge ships in swirling foam. And break them as they were a tiny slick. We wonder, when its snarling walets lick The rocks of age into a catacomb. Yet, when upon some beach of gleaming sand We see the lazy foam-creat waves roll in; Or. on some gloomy barren cliff we stand. And listen to the angry wuler's din; We see much more than strength and mystery; We then see God. and all Eternity. -GARDINER DAiLEY.

The Melting Pot The Melting Pot. the American cimma by Israel Zang- Wili. was given at the Long Beach High School Auditorium Thursday and Friday nights, May i5-l 6. It was by the mem- eprs of the Dramatic Classes. under the auspices of the Sonic! Class. It was made possible only by the splendid direction of Miss Mattie Russell, their teacher. There Were two distinct casts. the one playing Thursday night and the other Friday. Such a marked difference was displayed in the two sets that one found it well worth whiie to see the performance each night. Neweii Stearns. Thurline BuEum, Miller McClintock.

Veiona Pilcher, Al Williams, Edward Pawson, Buena Thom. Harry Rasmus and Louise Riley played on Friday. hThe Melting Pot is a powerful drama involving Mr. Zangwiii's glorious idea of America. To him. it is a great Melting Pot. or Crucible. in which all the races of the world ere fusing to form the last great American. This magnificent Idea is made real to us through David Quizano .a Jewish boy. about whom the entire action centers.

He had made much of John. and hath Mr. and Mrst Graham had liked him; About a year went by and the two boys became fast triendat Once in a while John would stay with Max over night. then the mnlhm and father would not see him until the next evening tor. at the sugges tion of Max, John also had taken a positiun in the drug store. After these nights it seemed to the father and mother. always watchful of their boy's every movemenl. that Jnhn did nnl seem like himself. When asked what they did at Mnx'a room. he woulri reply: Oh, nothing much: played cards a little and talked.H They were afraid that he was gnmhiing and drinking At last Came the awful day when john had neither comr: home to dinner nnr tn supper. Thinking hn was. perhaps. working harder than usual, as it was near the holiday time. they did not worry untii the ntght grew late and still he did not. come. As it was no unusual thing for him to stay with Max. they went to bed not thinking at what thr morning was! to bring forth. The old man now ahivered as he thought oi this. Fifty Upon waking the next morningehe still remembered that bright, frosty morningelhey heard a knock at their duor and the old man had gone to tindethe sheriff with MIC Brown. the proprietor of the drug stnrcl' They called In loud voices for Jnhne and when the old man told them he was not home. nor had not lbeen at home since the mornr mt: bafnre. they shook their heads as they looked at him. .

His hoyl He sank down in his chair again with his face in his handst 11 was only once in a long while that he allowed himself to think at this, but tonight he was restless and excited. Five years had passed sinre J'ohn and Max hacl been sent away tO-he could not bear to think of itz- and yet it We! SDt They had taken the money and must pay the pen- aler Max was still in prison. as far as the old man knew. bUt John-where was he? The old man bowed his head and sat for a long time staring into the Fire. He wondered what he would do if John should come back. It would be ght to send him back to those to whom he had given the false promise of his parole. As he remEmhered the lait Words which his wife had said, Try to have John he gond, he knew that without some help from these others it could never he done. The old man got up. turned over the logs in the Fire, Piace, and came buck to his chair. Somehow he was un- usually nestles: tonight. How he longed for the old clays When Martha had been with him and they had talked over their troubles together, It wasn.t so hard then. They had heard so many things in those days about their boy which almost made them feel happy again. He was out on 951013 and in a few months would be free. But now he had broken the trust placed in him and no telling where he WBFPBP haps in his grave. The old man almost wished he might hear that because he knew it would be for the beat, con- lldering the crime they boy had committed and for which he: would have to pay sooner or later. But suppose john was t0 come back?-perhaps m- ight? Emotion struggled with a sense of justice in the old man's heart, Suddenly, as he glanced at the window. he etarIEd. What was that? Surely not a man's face peering l ? Neea foolish fancy. He would not allow himself to Imagine auch things. He got up and began preparing for the night. uncov- Bring his cat in one corner of the room and laying a new 102 0 the are All at once he heard a rapping on the glass of FillthHI the window near him. it startled him, for. as he looked again, he thought he saw the face of a man. but it vanished as quickly as it had come. However, he went to the door and looked out, thinking it was one of his neighbors passing on his way home from the village. No one was in sight. and, closing the door. he went back to the table to finish putting the dishes away before he shnuid go to bed, He put these, carefully, one by one. in a small cupboard. for they were the last pieces he had left from the ones which he and Martha had used, and he was very choice of themt Suddeniy he heard a sound, mingled with a dogis bark: ing, outside the door. He stopped and listeneci. And he ionked at the door. It slowly opened and a man staggered into the room; Looking quickly around. the intruder dis- covered the old man in the corner. HJehnnyl'n came from the old man's lips. In an instant the son was clasped in his father's arms. but the buy roughly took the shaking arms from his neck. None 0' that quivery stuff now! Get me something to eat. i'm starved. Dropping into a chair, he pulled a bottle from his pocket and took a long swallow. Then replacing it in his pocket. he shouted to his father: Say. get a move onl I've got to get out of here tonight unless yOU've got a place you can hide me. They're hot on my trial. I wouldnit be here new, but i'm making for Canada. There's a couple of fellow: up there waiting for me. As he said this he pulled the bottle once more from his pocket. but after looking at it, put it back again. sayin ' Guess lid better save the rest till I get something to eatf' The GM man looked around. and as he saw john with the bottle in his hand. he sighed and said. Now. Johnny. that isn't anything to drink. is it? You know you had better leave that alone. Before he had the words out of his mouth John cried: What d business is it of yours? Get along there: don't you know Fm starving? and getting up he paced up and down the room, stopping only to urge his father to hurry with the supper. Finally the old man had the meal ready and John threw himself into a chair at the table with a curse After eating a few minutes in silence, he turned to his father, saying: If you've got a horse around here I want it. I've got to make pretty good time to get ahead of those fellowst'i The father looked at him tot a few moments without answering, A picture paased through his mind of a bright I-'1 fl yr'ru-u faced boy who used to help him in his work and drive the 0H horse. which he still kept. Could this hard face belong to the son who had once been such a joy to him? The old man wondered where his son was going and what he would do. His face became stern as he replied to John's question, Where do you expect to go? The boy stopped eating and looked into his father's face. He saw something there that he had not noticed he- forei and it made him uncomfortabie. Why, I told you I was making for Canada. We're going from there up a iiltlc farther north until we strike something that's worth doing.H he answered.

Then he went to the door and let in Jack. the dog. who had been Whining and scratching for some time. although his mastel had not heard him. The dog jumped upon his master, lick- li'lg his hands and face, but as the old man put him clown, he Spied thn man at the table. in an instant his hair hristled and he uttered a low growl.

Soon John was through with his supper, and getting up from the table. he went over to the stove. He took the bottle once more from his pocket.

A silence followed. broken only by the crackling oi the logs and lacks occasional restless movements in the corner. The old man looked at his son and wonderedi Two or three times he started to say something when John Look drinks from his bottle. but checked himself.

He had almost dared to look for ward to the time when John would come horn. but now that ward to the time when John would come home. but now that least not back here. He raised his head to look at his son. only to Find him fast asleep with his nearly empty bottle clasped in his. hand. The old man sat up in his chair. He looked at the face drooping on the chest. noting the expression of cruelty and hardness in it. His wife's words came back to him once morE. Have John be good. and he howed his head. The Opportunity was at hand for him to do his part. Should he take it? He got up and stumbled over to the cupboard- Dtawing out a picture in a battered siiver frame, he went burl: to the fin: with it in his hands.

He got up and bent over him. looking at his face 0, my God! cried the old man. uHeIp me in this! Show me what I shall do! As if something had told him. the old man arose. A telephone was within half a mile. He could reach it in u few minutes. The sheriff would be at home He could telel phone him and he would arrive in a few minutest Without slapping ionger. he quickly put on his coat and hat. beckoned to Jack. who instantly was at his heels. and without looking again at the Figure in the chair, went to the door, opened it softly, and in a second he and Jack were But in the night. A sudden thought seized him. and he turned and locked the door before going further. It took only a few turn to hitch the old home to the still oider buggy. Climbing in, he drove as fast as he could to his nearest neighboris. m ugwuu r There was a little dimculty in amusing the family. but as soon as the he made himSelf known. they became an ex! citement. and he was let in to the telephone. The sheriff responded to his call in a somewhat sleepy manner, but as soon as he learned what the old man wanted. he was all attention and said he would be theme in a very short time. As the old man hung up the reeciver, he almost gave a sigh of relief. Slowly he drove back through the darkness to his cabin. He unhitched the horse. and softly unlocking the door, went in. Everything was as he had left. it. The figure in front at the Fire was the same except that the bottle had dropped to the Hour. spilling the contents. A half hour the old man sat there gazing into the Fire. He heard the sound of an automobile. It was Mr. McCaIger. the sheriff, with two other men of Crane. They came into the room without a word and silently looked at the sleeping man. That's him. said one of the men. I wouldn't hardly 'a known him, though, would you, Bill? No, I guess I wouldnit. replied Bill Wilson. Ubut I've knnwn him ever since he was a kid. uI think we might as well wake him up now, because we Ought to get back as soon as possiblef said Mr. McCargex. and he went over to the sleeping man. After being shaken a tittiel john opened his eyes. To his surprise. he looked into the face of the sheriff. At the same time he felt something cold and hard on his wristi and before he knew it he was lifted to his feet. H I What a up? he cried as he staggered to his feet.

The old man looked after them and then quietEy closed the door. Going oven to the table. he sank down in the Chair and buried his head in his arms.

It was Just the place for a camp, for here could be found large clus- ters of elderberries. which gave an the bushes a purple tinge.

Two passengers aiighted from the west-huund train at the little station. There was no one in sight. not even the station agent. Huh, wonder what's the matter here. Where 're all the People? remarked the First passenger. John Larkin. It does iook rather funny. Seems as though they'd seen us coming and had gone and hid. muttered his cum- Panion, Felix Kieini Say! exclaimed Larkin. wyou don't suppose it's small- pox. do you? uW'owl I never thought of that. Lets' get out of herel uCan't. Nu trains? was the brief and cheery response. Let's hunt up the station agent or some one who-Hey, there! he shouted at a wildzeyed face peering at them through the closed ticket window. What's the matter here? Come out, canit you? All they could get for an answer was some- fhgng which sounded like, Runf Snakes! and the face van- :5 e . I guess he's got 'em, all right.H remarked Larkin. Let's go up town and see if we can find some one who's got some Sense. As they walked up the one main street of the town they noticed timid faces peering at them from windows and from 910015 slightly ajar. A man scurried across the street, rushed Into a house. and slammed the door. it doesn't look as though they were used to visitors. 91-083 it? They act as though we were a couple of dogs run- rung loose with the hydrophObia. laughed Klein with a cheer fulness which he did not feel. Say, I'm getting tired of this. Letis go out and pull some one out of his shell and pump some bashfulness and in- Flel-Ni'm' formation out of him, exclaimed Larkin impatiently. and turned in at the nearest house. After he pounded on the door for some time it was Finally opened about half an inch and an eye appeared at the opening. Snakes! Run for your lives! The townts alive with themF' howied the owner of the eye. and the door slammed in their faces. The two travelers now became nervous and alarmed. Let us in. you fool! shouted Larkin, What's all the row about. anyhow? If there's a wild animal show running loose. open the door and let us get out of their way. A sound of heavy objects being moved about issued from within. At last. seemingly with great dithculty. the door waS opened. Quickly they were putled in by many hands and the door was slammed immediately behind them. was it done that Larkin's coat tails were caught in the door. He demanded liberty. but on no account was the door per mitted to he opened again. At this time two dogs began to bark Furioualy at a cat which they had treed in the back yard. They're coming! Barricade the door, quick! yelled thc owner of the eye. who proved to he the head of the house. Again the sound of heavy moving, which was the result of the dining-room table. trunks and chairs being shoved against the door. Larkin swore furiously and struggled for freedom, finally crawling out of his coat and leaving it hanging there to save himself from being caught by the approaching table. Nothing happened. A death-like silence seemed to steal over the house and its occupants. The strangers then had time to look around. There Were ftve in the householdetather, mother, two sons and one tiaughter. Some were fearfully peeping through the draWn blinds. while others sat listening as though awaiting their doom. The rooms were in great dis? order. Everything movabte had been shoved against the doors, while the piano covered the fne place. A casual ob! server would have thought that the Family was deathly afraid of a draft. Larkin began his pumping. As nearly as he could learn from the family a carload of snakes had been shipped in by some accommodating person and turned loose. After more pumping the travelers learned that the family. as a whole, did not know what the trouble was and only relied on the rumor they had heard about hundreds of snakes. No one in town went to bed that night. ing the tnwnspeople began to venture forth. had actually seen any snakes. so they gradually senses. Larkin and Klein wandered some one who really knew uomethin So quickly The next morn- No one. as yet. recovered then ahuut the town seeking g and could talk intelli Nifty gently. After putting pieces of information together and Sunk ming them up, they learned that. on the day before. Riley's Animal Show had left town minus a reptile from its zoo. One Of the large snakes of the python variety had disappeared and could nowhere he found. although a thorough search of the fawn was made. This truth Finally became known to the pope ulatlon during the clay. The news had been spread by aeve Eral excited persons and was greatly magnified as it was passed along. Within an hour Jonesville had drawn itself into its Hhell. This was when Larkin and Klein had arrived. The people acted as though they were walking on eggs all during; the day. Every one felt that Somelhing was going 10 happen. Their expectations were realized twice that day. The first. time was when Mrs. Fowland went out to feed her chickens. She didn't feed them. though. for they were busy feedingethe snake. She ran screaming into the house, and. In a way known only to women. alarmed the whole neighbor hood. A crowd gathered around that neighborhood, though Hie people were not visible. for they monopolized every place 0f safety available. such as doorwaySethat is, the part of the duorway behind the door-and behind boxes. barrels and trees. The chicken coop was made from an old wagon box with heavy boards across the front. Inside this was the snake and inside the snake were the chickens. There he was. finishing with great relish the last morsel of the last chicken. A few feathers scattered about showed that they had been Plymouth Rocks. At this point some enterprising young brave threw d can at the coop. The result wa5 astonishing. A hiss from the snake, a yell from the men, and a ahnll Ooeoeoiere-ee from the women. along with a rush of feet. and then all was silent ill : snake, frightened by the noise. started to leave, but was stepped by the bars of the coop.

As no more cans were thrown, the snake accepted the inevitable. and coiled up in a corner tor a good nap. The neighborhood of the coop began to he repopulated by human beings. Nearly all had seen the snake attempt in vain to crawl batween the bars of the coup and realized his helplessness. It Was also noticed by all that one of the bars was loose and Partly OH. The same enterprising boy who had thrown the Can attempted to fix it. He had just begun when the snake, With a loud hiss, began to uncnil. Waiting for no further re- sults. the hero heat a hasty retreat. knocking the bar Clea: oft NLrly-mu as he did so. By this time the snake, too. noticed the opening and calmly crawled out. There was no one in sight. That IS why no one knew where he went. The expectation: of the townspeople were agait'l realized about the middle of the afternoon. The negro cook came tearing out of jonesville's one hotel, with aehen face and star- ing eyes, yelling at the tnp of his voice and gasliculaiing wildly. De snakel De snake! He'a aicomin'! Help! he yelled as he rushed down the street, spreading consternation every- where. Several men grabbed him and held him until he had calmed down a little. Upon being asked about the snake, lav gave this information Oh, Lawdl Ah was a gwine down to de supply cellal fo' some petaties. when all oh a sudden a- whOppin' gfeat big snake, he came a-crawlin' up do stairs afte' me.

They left him there in the street and all gathered around Doc Coodprey, a tubby little man, who was Deputy ShEYm. Game Warden. Night Watchman and City Constable Larkin and Klein had witnessed the whole. proceeding and now Lari kin was talking with the D. S. C. C., etc. Why don't you organize a posse and go down and tape ture that snake? There's only one and a goodvsized bunch of men OUEht t0 get him easy, advised Larkin. l'l'll join the poSsC. Who else? I! shouted Klein. The City Constable, etc.. here seemed greatly agitated. There's nothing in it. he argued nervously. nThat fool nigger is as drunk as a loon, I tell you. You know there is a snake at large and there is no reason why it is not your duty to do all in your power to capture him. The coon may be telling the truth As long as that snake's loose he's dangerous. We might as well make sure by going down there. anyhow. returned Larkin, who was already gaining the favor of the crowd and enjoyed the discomhturc 0f the C. C., etc. Nearly twenty men volunteered to go and Doc. was finally forced by the laughing crowd to undertake the capture. 11' was a narrow stairway which led down to the supply cellar, and, Doc in the lead. and crowded on by the others, had no chance to: retreat. The chill air of the cellar dampened their .s'u-nw'uw Spirits. but they hid their fear by making Doc as unhappy .13 possible. The door of the supply room was closed. as it had been Slammed shut by the cook in his hasty retreat. Doc. white with fear. secured a long pole. and from a safe distance. poked the door open. As he did so. the cold sweat broke out upon his forehead and his knees quaked with Fear.

He carried him down to the station through the empty streets. Finding the baggage mom door open he laid the snake inside and mapped the lock on the door. He then rescued the telegraph operator from beneath a alarm drain and ordered him to telegraph to Riley's Animal Show and tell them to come and get their snake.

He and his daughter Molly had Finished their supper and were sitting together in the Warm, cozy little mom which served as a living-mom, dining- mOm. and kitchen in one. Molly was a pale, thin, little girl of about twelve years. Her face was plain and her dun drab hair was straight and brushed smoothly back from her temples. Her large brown Eyesi however. lit up her whole iacc. and their depth and dmaminess told as plainly as did the liltie crutch by her Chair that her life could not be like that of other children, EU! must be lived in the happy wnnderland of her imaginar Ion.

So Theseus went with the tribute ship to the island where the king ruled and. with the help of the king's daughter, killed the minotaur and saved hhe boys and girls. Then. she added with a happy sigh, :19 married the heaueifui princess and lived happily ever a ter. k She sat smiling to herseif for a little while and then limped over to her father and put her arms around his neck. uYou would be just as brave and grand as Theseus.

About a week later John Dawsnn greeted Molly more eagerly than usual when he returned from work in the evening. 1 have something to tell you, little daughter, he said. when they had eaten their supper together and he had helped her Clear up the dishes. Are you still as interested in heroes us you were a little whiie ago? Oh yes. imieed. she answered. Only this morning I was reading about a man who rescued a little girl tram drowning, They are trying to get a Carnegie medal for him, but it seems tu me that they are having a hard time getting it. i don't see why it's so much trouble to get those medals. Now, if I were Mr. Carnegie I would be glad to give them to a man as noble as this one. Wouldn't you? K'Yes. but you see they have to be sure that all the people who get the medals have really done something that makes them worthy of them. I heard a hero story today.

Then he helped hit the. man into the ambulance which had been called. As he started to go on, one of the doctors stopped him and asked him to lake the motorcycle, which was not disabled. to the Good Samaritan Hospitai, as the name and address of its owner was not known. Although the hospital was a good many blacks out of his way he did as the doctor asked. I didn't hear of his getting any zrewardV though. he added after a little pauset Well, I think he should have one. That was a good story. Did you know the man? What does he look like?

Maybe you will get a lewmd when the man gets well and hears about it. Oh. I hope you will. Long after she was in bed that night Molly lay thinking WI her father's heroism and picturing the accident to herself: the dark wet pavements, the reckless rider. the skidding motorcycle, and the frightened, plunging horses so near the fmccmscious man.

This was the pride of Molly's heart. and when the other work was Nitrtll'x-illlt done she took a dipperful of water and went to the window to water the plant. While she was gently pouring water on its roots and cutting off the dry dead leaves she heard a whistle from the street, and looking out, saw jimmy. the little boy from next door. waving to her and holding up a news paper. l had an extry this morning, he. called, 'iso l brnught it over to you.

She was back in a minute with a ball of twine, and leane mg out of the window she let the end of string drop to the street below as she unwound the ball. After much tying of knots, Jimmy looked up and callEd: A'right.

At last the paper was safely landed. and with a final Thank you Jimmy. and a wave of her hand. she stepped back from the window and began to look over the paper. While she was reading a thrilling account of a train robbery she. suddenly thought that if the man in the accident wished to reward her father he would probably advertise in the papers. She turned to the personals with such haste that half the paper rattled to the floor. She glanced clown the column. reading the first few words of each adveitisement. She had been so sure of Ending it that when she reached the end of the column she subbed outright, her disappointment was. so great. After reading them all over again to make sure that sxhe had not missed any, she threw the paper down and limped iistleealy over to the cupboard. There she began to take the things from the shelves in order to cover them with fresh paper, She again picked up the pape: and folded it to fit the shelf. There, under the heading uToo Late to Classify. was a personal. All her disappointment vanished instantly with this new hope and with bright eyes and glowing cheeks she read, Will the person who stopped the frightened horses at the corner of Fifth and Main streets, yesterday evening and later took the motorcycle to the Good Samaritan Hospital. kindly call. at 849 South Kingsley Drive? She was as happy now as she had been disappointed before and after carefully cutting out the personal to show her lather she went on with her work humming a gay little tune. She didn't know enough about the city to know where South Hrwww Kingsley Drive was. but it sounded very aristocratic, and she pictured it to he a wide boulevard with beautiful houses on each side. She had not decided how large a reward she ex- pected her father to get, for she thought of it not as money but as the means with which to gain what she most wanted for her father and for herself. When her father returned that evening. it was several minutes before he could understand fully the wonderful news that Molly had for him. because she talked so excitedly in broken sentences while she waved the slip of paper exul- lantly before him. And you must go right away and hunt up the address. father. she urged when he haul succeeded in getting hey story straightened. Oh. won't tomorrow do just as well? he suggested. Well, if youlre awfully tired, I suppose it would do, lame her fate fell and she spoke so dismally 0f the ID ?! wait that her father laughed and picked up his coat. Come. help me on with my coat, and I'll be off, lld ED farther than Kingsley Drive to bring back the smiles and the bright eyes that you had a molnent ago. As soon as the door had closed after him, she felt a! if she could never wait till he got back. She tried to think about something else, so that the time would pass more qUiCkly, but each time her mind would turn back to the house 0'1 Kingsley Drive where her father was going. She didn't know how long she had waited. it seemed hours. when he heard a knock at the door. It took her some time to get her crutch and limp across to the door, and when She opened it. all she could see was a paper package lying 0n the Floor in front of the door. She picked it up and carried i? back into the flat. When she had removed the paper she saw it was what she had wanted most to have, Greek Heroes, the book Miss Mayo had told her about. Perhaps it was because she had Creek Heroes for com- pany and found that the book was indeed illustrated and that Thesus was only one among their ranks. that the time We'll so fast. However it was, it seemed only a few minutes before she heard her father's familiar step in the hall, but When he opened the door the new book assumed a place of secondary importance. Oh, tell me all about it from the very Hrst. father, sh: cried. Well, there's not much to tell. I Found the house With' 0U! much trouble. It was a fine big house with beautiful grounds. and when l rang the bell a servant came to the door. N aw-uly-mu' I said that I was the man who had been at the accident. and she said that she would see about it. Then a welldressed man came into the hall. and when I had told him why I had come, he laughed and said. 'Oh, yes. you see, while you had charge of my son's motorcycle, the carburetor got out of whack. so I guess it's up to you to pay for the repairs. ' Fatherl wailed Mollyl For an instant the. tears were very near the surface. then she suddenly burst out laughing and threw her arms amund her father's neck. He was perfectly horrid and seleh, she expiained. seeing the look of surprise on her fathefs face, but just think how perfectly funny it all was. And see, father, here's that book that I wanted so much. Isn't it lovely? 1 found it at the door. I think a fairy must have left itior a hero.

In his shame Hunch-back's head sank lower and lower. until the birds no longer cared to lBuild their nests in his branches. and the squirrels stopped Haring away their nuts in his trunk. He grew so melancholy that a meadnwiark, thriiling his heart out on Hunch-back's Jottiest sprig, said to him one day in spring: How can you look so mournful on this glorious morn- ing? All the world is singing today for love of his neighbors and the spring-time. and the joy of living: yet YOU act as tI'mugh you hadn't a single friend. I haven't. acknowledged Hunch-back. miserably; No One loves me. The Meadowlark nearly burst his little throat in a Hood 0f golden laughter. Foolish fellowl God loves you!

But he had given Hunch-back food for thought, For many days he pondered over those mystic words. Who Could this be who loved him? He began to take an interest in life, and when South Wind next came sighing softy clown the valley, he stopped. her, and asked: Have you ever seen God in your travels? South Wind's brown eyes grew big and very dark. and She pursed her red lips mysteriously as she said: Oh, yesl Hunchback. in the Southland, where I have been. there are so many Howers that the air is always heavy with their fragrance. and you have hitds more beautiful there than any you have ever seen dart throngh the scemed air. NF i'mly- Wrw'm' There are orange trees, and honeysuckle, and blue skiES. and golden sunshine. and oh Hunch-back, God is there! H is because He is there that it is all so beautiful. And he loves me! puzzled Hunchvback. When the West Wind passed by and told of the wonders of his mountains, and streams. and oceans. Hunchback asked: ls God there? Of course, answered West Wind. HHe holds the waters in the hollow of one hand and the mountains In the other, and they are as he wins. East Wind whistled a melody of hmaci. iruitfui plains. and North Wind bellowed his taie of the far, white-iand where the ice and snow never melt. Both of them said God was there, and Hunehrback wondered more and more. Little by little his heart was becoming less cailuused and bitter, 30 that he was able to understand when one night than sat beneath his honghs a man and a maid, both young and very fair. who talked of love; 'IWe will love each other for evermore. they whispered. with a love as infinite as Heaven. Huncheback had never before heard of Heaven, 50 when the nightingale came and sang his glorious song into the awakening soul of the bent little tree, Hunch-back dared to say: HYour secret is so marvellous that I know without ask- Ing that God put it in your heart. But can you tell me about Heaven? The nightingale anewered softiy, The secret Of my 50113 is Love, and where Love is. God is. and Heaven. In the heart at everything that has life there is some Love. and we call il goodness, but it is God. So in proportion as we are gOOd- and pure. and beautiful we have so much of God in US. for all these things are of God. Hunch-back was gloriEed. He was so hill of joy that he longed to share his happiness with someone. He knew the Truth. and he wished to be able to show it: to others; so he prayed, and as he prayed his soul! grew. and with it his capacity for God. The other trees saw the change in him and marvelled- Then one day there came a man with long, white hair about a face so exquisitely beautiful that Hunch-back knew God was there. He came straight to Hunchback and his face became thoughtful and pale with the greatness of his purpose. Cut down this tree, he said. i. it. is the most beautiful n have ever seen. Nmmnt Hum, r The other trees smeared at the absurdity of this remark find said among themselves that Hunch-back was being punh Ished for his vanity.

He heard the boys telling how plentiful the deer were clown in Stony Creek Canyon, and Pat got all worked up about it. ii 'Sure. and I'd like to git a shot at one of 'em,' .. said Pat one day. Now, up there at the mill we have an old muzzle-load' ing shot gun, and George Peterson suggested to me one morn' ing that we load the gun and send Pat on a deer hunt, Well. I carried out the suggestion, and when the other boys heard that Pat was going after deer, several of them decided they would like to load the gun. and, unaware of each others inten- tions, four of us loaded that gun. The next morning. bright and early, Pat stained out with the muzzlewloader to get his deer. After he had been gone about an hour we boys discovered that the gun had foul charges in it, But it was too late then to head off Pate A few minutes later we heard an awful report from the direction of the Canyon. We all jumped up from the breakfast table and ran down there as fast as we could. expecting to End a dead Irishman. And there he lay, his right shoulder broken from the kick the gun gave him, but alive and smiling, Nu'm fy-I-Iium U iDid you get him, Pal? asked one of the boys.

They were Five of 'em in a bunch and, be jabbers. if there'd been another load in the gun Id :1 got 'Em alll' During the narration of these stories. Parson Jones. the local Methodist preacher had dropped in on a shopping er- rand, and stood listening. When Hank Finished. the Parson Cleared his throat in his weII-known manner and began, We . brethren those were indeed peculiar occurrences.

The writer wishes to say, in closing, that he is not authm- ily for these stories. He Yelates them just as he heard them and you must draw your own conclusions as to their authen- ticity. Sufhce it to say that Parson Jones made a long entreaty in his prayer the next day for the forgiveness of all our sins and transgressions. and that day Hank Townsend repented. As for old Captain Brown, he died a few days later from the eHects of a hard choking spell after telling a Fish story. ROY Si MELVIN. 'l6. N! n'uhrNJ n. CHUCOLATES FOR SA LLY 03.

His fre- quent and cheerful letters had always been read with much interest. Then the telegram came which told them that he had been murdered by a fierce tribe of natives, Nearly a year had gone by when another telegram arrived announcing that Hendrick was still alive and on his way to Holland. At last he had come homC, and tonight. surrounded by his oid friends. he was telling his adventures among a wild tribe of African savages, This is the story: Once. when another engineer and I were out hunting with only three helpers, we were surprised by a party of war like natives. In the tht which foilowcd I alone survived I must have been stunned by a blow on the head. At any tale. 1 came to consciousness in a native hut. long after dark. My head ached terribly and a pain in my shoulder: added to my agony. My hands and feet were tied with thick leather thong; which cut deeply into my Hash. My vision was very dim. but slowly my eyes cleared and I could dis, tinguish the objects about me. Close beside me loomed a tall, dark form observing me curiously; The man was a High 1 N m giant. and although I had been considered quite an athiete in College. I saw at a glance that this Wild man was more than a match for me. He was fully seven fcet tail and extremely well developed. He spoke to me when he saw that l was awake. but his dialect was different from that of our native Servants and I could not undeisland him. When he called out something, many heads appeared in the doorway of the hut. He spoke to them in a low. gutteral voice. One of them stepped forward. His powerful limbs and back were decorated by many brass rings. My hands wcre untied and I was motioned to stand up. When i tried to gel on my feel i could not move. for the tight thongs had made me numb; The savages understood and rubbed my limbs roughly. Two minutes tater I staggered from the hut into the tight of eariy morning My legs were weak. rny Shoulders and head acheci terribly, and a heavy mist seemed to come before my eyes again and again. I saw dim ngres moving about. W: walked on for about hily yards, but every step seemed miles to me. At last we Came to a stop, where a large native sat on a lion skin before a hut.

When he started to dance his warriors bent their faces to the ground. than they joined him, humming a strange and monot- onous tune while they stamped their bare feet on the rocky ground. After much ceremony. the king called his captains mgelhcr for a long conference, after which they motioned me to step forward I was sure my fate hung on their next move. By motions the king told me to take 03 my clothcs. and when i protested. i was thrown heavily to the ground. When I arose again i was clad in the scanty dress of a native 3551 my torn clothes were distributed among the captains. I grew very angry over this insult. and when the lust of my Wearing apparel had been given away my fury was be Y'Jnd control. In my rage my shaky legs steadied and my 9i8h! became as clear as ever. Quickly I jumped to the place Where my ammunition lay. Snatching my pistol. 1 levelled it at the nearest native and puiied the trigger. The terrible eXpresuion of agony which Filled the faces of these wild men L'iglhtyux'y-rn-n as they saw the Hash. heard the startling report and looked at their fallen comrade, made me laugh aloud. Again and again I Fired, making sure that each shot counted. They cowed before me. I had a strange feeling of satisfaction as I took up my riFIe and ammunition bag. and ran out of the village. Not. until I had passed the last hut did I look around, Then I saw that several of the tribe were following. I quick, encd my pace. but they gained on me. Later I was told that l was thought to he a had god who had come down to punish them for their evils. If they let me go after the treatment I had been given. I would tell the other gods and their punish- ment would he terrible. Therefore. they must bring me back and give me every good treatment. but never let me escape from them. I ran faster and faster. My path was downhill and very rocky. My feet were bare and tender and sharp little stones cut. deeply into them. but I did not care much. It only I couIcl reach that large rock half way down the hill I would show the black devils a white marfs revenge. I turned around to see how far they were behind. and in doing so I stepped on a loose rock. It slipped from under my feet and in spite of my efforts to keep my balance. I fell heavily to the ground Before I could get up. strong hands grasped me and I was carried back to camp. That clay was the most miserable one I have ever had. The savages gathered about me all day and looked at me in great curiosity Every move I made was followed. and from morning till night their chatter sounded in my ears. I saw many strange things in the village. There was not a woman or child with them. and as their huts were all built of skin, I concluded that this was a war party. My suspicions were confirmed when I saw a great number of natives of much lighter complexion. all tied together, prob- ably captives from another tribe. All the savages of the war party were men of the same proportions as the guard I had First seen in the hut. They all had very large heads and broad. Hat noses. Their lips were very thick and red. and whenever they talked. they showed strong. ivory-white teeth. Short. thick necks and broad shoulders displayed a terrible strength. They moved very easily. and I could plainly see that once on a run they would be very hard to overtake, That night I slept in one of the huts on some deerskins. Three natives guarded me. I was very tired, and despite my fears: that I might be killed while sleeping. I soon was in the land of dreams. HUM: nt-H wn- Next morning when I awoke the guards stilt sat in HE same places I had last seen them and taiked in low voices as may ruriOust regarded me. When they saw that I was aWE-ike, food was brought to me. It consisted of deer meat. Whlch had just been cooked over an open Fire. and mountain fruit. I ate the deer meat eagerly, and then began to eat the fruit. There were many poisonous fruits on the African mountaihS. and I ate only those I knew. There was one very Ong, YCIIOW one. I had never seen it before and did not want f0 eat it. One oI the guards saw that I did not want to eat It and left the hut. He soon appeared again with an armful OI the Same kind and ate so many of them that I had no longel any doubt about their character, anct soon was eating them as fast as the guard. . That day I was again brought before the king and was given to understand, by motion, that if I attempted to escape Or hurt any of the natives, I wouid he tortured to death. I was a healthy young man and loved life dearly. and therefore nudded to the king that I understood. AII that day I looked eagerly in all directions to see if any relief party was sent out. but none appeared.

That night there was a great feast. Large fires were lighted and long into the night the savage: danced about them. singing heme songs and stamping their feet. The next day my guard was strengthened, and I saw that. although I was still feared by them, they valued me highly. and that the guard was increased because I was con- sidered a valuable huntert whose escape would he a severe loss. Two days later the huts were broken up and the skins were made into packs. By motions one of the guards told me that a long journey was ahead of us, Late in the afternoon the prisoners were farmed in Iine and the packs were put on their backs. We traveled till late at night and started very early next morning; The savages moved directly north. The road was very uneven and rocky. All day we traveled. There were fully Eve hundred natives and about three hundred prise onern. We traveled very rapidly. considering the great num- ber of men and the heavy packs the prisoners carried. The natives were afraid of my rifles. and when I asked them to help me carry them and the heavy ammunition bags. they refused. The hot sun heat hercely an my haIf-naked body. My wounds were not yet we and I was still in a weak condition as a result. The heavy bags and rifles hanging on my naked shoulder rubbed the skin ofh After three days of travel I was unable to keep up with the natives any longer and had to be carried on a litter by four of the prisoners. The journey was continued. Every day we started be fore sun up and camped when hardly anything could be clin- tinguiehed on the mountains. At night the prisoners gathered a large number of small bushes which had a very peculiai odor. These served as beds. the odor keeping snakes and scorpions away. After many days we reached the end of our journey. We came to the permanent viilage of the tribe very late one night and were received with great joy. I became the center of curiosity, and when I lay clown to sleep that night I was conscious of many savages struggling in the doorway to gain a glimpse of me. As I stepped out of the hut the next morning I saw that the viilage was bustling with native women and children. I did not see a man among the huts. All the women were hard at work. doing labor which I should have expected to see the men do. Several were building a new house Many other: helped them by bringing mud in large baskets from a nearby Nivrr-tn stteam. Still others were carrying heavy loads of Fire woodt being hindered by dirty children who constantly clung to their blankets. Many women carried infants on their backs, These were tied in deerskin bags. The women shattered together In loud. unpleasant voices. often 567631111113 With laughter. Then followed another very unpleasant day for mt. The men swarmed out of their huts several hours after I had got up. and again I was surrouniied by many curious savages. They followed me and pointed at me. This displeased me greatly. I wanted to get away from the village. but my guards stopped me when the last hut was reached. They tried to ex- Plain something to me. but i could not make out what it was. Vary reluctantly 1 went back again, and then it was i saw the reason for their actions. There was to be a great feast. for many women ran to and fro with deer meat. which was cooke Over an open Fire and put on large banana leaves. Several Warriors got up on a large rock and addressed the men. They Wildly swung their hands about them while speaking. and were applauded by loud yelling from the listeners, The last one to Speak was the king. He did not get on the rock himself, but Was carried there by several warriorst He did not say much, but the savages bowed down every time he concluded a sen- tence and mumbled to themselves. There was no applause When he Finished and he was carried from the rock to a large Pile of skins. Then one of the guards pointed to the rock. and pulling me through the crowd, put me upon it. lnstantly all the sav- ages were quiet. My guard spoke to them in a loucl voice. an when he finished the savages sank lo the ground and bowed themSelvea before me. The guard motioned me and tried to I:XPlain something. but his movements were very strange and I could not understand. Then he suddenly leaped into the air and screamed something like Bang! Bangl Then I understood. He wanted me to shoot my rifle and show the natives that what they had been told was true. I shot my rifle into the air and all the men fell on the ground again. Several screamed with fear and all were afraid. The guard motioned me to come clown and told me not to shoot again, Then the luau! began. The women waited on the men and often joined in their chatter. One of the warriors got up and danced 811d W33 loudly applauded for his eEnrte. Later there were foot races and the best spearsmen competed for both skill and distance With their longest assagaais. Finally there was a wrestling match between the two strongest warriors. So the days passed. Sometimes I Parties to the mountains. and I grew to know the su went with hunting rrounding xm-ryn m- country very well. Very often the guards opposed my going with the hunters. One morning a messenger fmm a neighboring tribe brought news that a strong warlike tribe from the north was coming to fight the warriors of our village. InstantIy every- thing became alive in the camp. Men and women ran among the huts and shattered excitedIy. Captains shouted orders, and soon everybody was at work bringing rocks from the surround- ing country to build a protecting waII. All day long the men and women labored, carrying great rock: on their strong shoul- den. Early next morning the work was continued. and by night they had built a fairly long wall four feet high. That night the attacking party came down upon us. Spears whis- tIed over us in a directions and Fierce yells were heard from the advancing enemy. Then I started to shoot. After the second shot the attacking party became quiet and no more spears were thrown. At the third shot our warriors leaped over the wall and charged on them. Very soon they returned and reported that the enemy had fled to the south; All were eager for pursuit. and the women hurried about to get pro- visions for a long chase. Next morning they started. and I was taken along. Day after day we foIIowed. occasionally catching a glimpse of them. but most of the time they were out of sight. Thirty days after leaving the village the trail was Iost, not to be found again. The angry and disappointed warriors growled all day long. We were many hundred mites away from the village and my heart beat fast when I thought that perhapJ we were near to civilization. The warriors did not give up the chase, however. They separated into small parties. each moving in a different direction. Our party of perhaps fifty natives moved southwest. For many uneventfuI days we traveled in this direction One cIay we suddenly came upon a completed part of a railroad I tried not to show my excitementt The curioun savages stayed there for several hours. At last they moved on again. but we camped within a few miIes of the road that night. Then I saw that I must escape. It was perhaps the last chance. As soon as the tiled savages were asleep I crawled over the bodies which lay about me. I was very lucky in get- ting away without arousing them. When I reached the raiIv road I turned southward toward civilization. All night and late into the next day I traveled. Then I lay down under 30ml dense bushes, for I was very tired. I awoke when it was dark; Something ruetled close beside me and I heard a native speak. I recognized the voice as one of my late companions N mmwrn-u and thought I had been discovered, but the native walked on and I heard many olhera follow him. When all was quiet I went to the track and stmtgd on again. After many hours of Walking a light. drumming sound came to my car. I Iookcd around and far away I saw the glaring headlight of a locomo- tive as it rounded a curve. I slood on the track dazed at First, not knowing what to dO- Then I pulled up some bushes by the room A! the train drew nearer and the First raya of the headlight fell on me, I started to wave the bushes.

WhiIC the Engineer jumped from the locomotive and angrily asked me what I was up to. He thought that I was a wild man and Started to get on the locomotive again, but I stopped him. In as few words as possible I explained the situation to him. In- stantly his attitude changed and he told me to get on the en- gine. His Brat words had been very harsh- but they had Sounded like music to my earst Never had I run faster than When I ran to that engine and leaped aboard. Again I was with a civilized man and soon we should be on the homeward stretch. As the engineer turned on the steam and started the IOCOrnotive, w: ware startied by a terrible yell from the sur- Younding woods. Then many dark forms jumped beside the read. As the train began to move they bowed themselves to the ground and I knew that they thought I had turned into a terrible. heryveyed. smoke-Izetching demon.

What have we accomplished, in respect to other years? and why? These are a few pertinent questions that may, and probably will, be asked by our students and graduates. We tied a foot- ball championship that we might have won. We were in a fair way to win the Southern California pennant in men's bas- ket ball when other activities forced the team to disband; we did practically nothing in track. in swimming only the county relay championship: we did absolutely nothing in wom- en's basket ball: we have had one interscholastic handball meet and expect more; from present indications we shall win nothing in tennis; polo and swimming both may get the chamd pionships and baseball is comparatively sure to add another banner to our collection. But let us look at the matter in another light. There were more candidates out for football this year than ever beforE; in fact. we had three complete and separate teams in com petition on one Saturday; There was. for the first time. a second eleven whose members practiced as hard and as cane sistently as the regulars. An intrascholastic baseball league was formed, managed by members of last year's nine. This gave at least one hundred bays opportunity for pleasurable recreation and exercise. Great interest has been evirlencecl En handball. The courts are always busy And most of the other activities have been as popular. Since we now have the facts, it remains only a matter of opinion. and that opinion must of course be dependent upon our viewpoint. If we indulge in athletics for the sake of win- ning. our records are not wholly creditable, but if competition is only a means, as it should be. of getting more participants. then we have succeeded. and succeeded wonderfuily. Cogitate! HUGH SHIPPEY. Um' Hirmh'vri Y'furfern-u School Spirit A School spirit- a much-laiked Subject. It is looked at 1 many different ways and expressed in as many more. A student who realizes the absolute worth and value of organiza- tlon must as wen recognize the value of support of organiza- tion. It is a common fact that all schools who have successful teams must have a great deal of school spirit. The number of victories compares with the amount of support. Long Beach has an enviable record of lines of unbroken victories. We have been victorious in a majority of our activities in the past and this year as well. This argues for itaeif, then, that the teams must have received more than the average amount of supportmor expenditure of school spirit. The Students of this school have been divided into three c-lasses. First. the class of students which supports every ac- tivity and who give liberally of their time and money; secondt the class which supports most of the activities; and third. the class which supports few or no activities and who knock the few which they do support. These three classes will he fpund in every high school, but the question is-which divi- 5'011 DFCdOminates in Long Beach? Our victories ten the Story this year; we have comparativefy few of the third chains. We have received some unjust complaints from gradu- ates of preceding years that we haven't the same old school Spirit which we used to have. True. we don't have the same Spirit. because we have different activities and mate of them 10 support than did students of earlier years, We haVc as much spirit in comparison but it is shown in twenty activities where the old spirit had but one. Now that the school year 13 drawing to a close. and we have a clean successful record. let us feel that these complaints are entirely uncalled for and njuat. Next year we shall use it just as much as it has ever heen used. JOHN HALBERT. ' tMovies' , The moving picture machine presented by last yeafs Senior Class has been put to good use. The JUHiOI Moving Picture Show. usually given on the Pike, was this year pre- sented in the Assembly The machine 1': open to the use Of any High School organization. This makes it unnecessary to depend upon professional service for benefits.

This year the management has been assumed by Mr, Russel and much more general satisfadion is evidenced. Not only has he insured much quicker service. by doubiing the number of lines, but he has reduced prices to the minimum. The in- creased patronage indicates that the improvements are popular with the students. The outdoor lunch mom is another feature which will undoubtedly prove popular. The present plan it: is to gradually place the cafeteria under student management. Two Words of Gratitude You students decide, to a great extent, whether the Caerulea is to be creditable or not. It is your stories and your mm unwind 'rh.m;;+'mu' DOEms that are printed. We have retaived a large amount of 200d material for this issue and we thank the contributors sin, Cerelyi A great deai of credit is also due to the teachers of the English Department for their assistance in collecting and revisl- mg material. and to the Art Department for the drawings and cuts we are using. We owe large hunks of gratitude to the faculty adviserseMies Bailey and Miss Barnhisel-who have always been willing to give their time to Caerulea. We also ?Xtend our thanks to the students and teachers of the Typewrit- mg Department. All the copy for this issue has been typewrit- TEH and the work has always been satisfactory. Our financial aid comes from various sources. In the first Place, several Student Body officers have sacrificed much that the Student Body might give liberally. Each class has aiso made a contribution and Miss Rogers has given us the pmhts of the Clee Ciubs Concert. The merchants have been very ganerous in financial aid and have shown that their refusal to filSIVerlise was due to no lack of interest in High School activ- I IBS- We thank you. Assemblies Experience teaches that originality contributes very ma- terially to the success of an asnemhiye-the students are con- tinually looking for something new. As we look back over this SChOOI year it seems that they certainly could not have been dis- app0inted. The Ben Hur chariot race. the pimeating contest and the modem Merchant of Venice are only a few of the as- semblies which have received the stamp of popular approval. But the serious side has also received attention. We have had addresses from such men as Dr. Beer. Clyde Doyle and Judge Wiibun Ali assemblies are in charge of the students. and many CDmmenta have been made on the good order which Prevails. The Merchant: The merchants have found it advisable not to advertise in the Caerulea from now on. We believe, however. that this action has resulted in no hard feeling on the part of the stu- dents. We realize the many caHs made upon the business man and it is undoubtedly his right to eliminate all advertising which is not to his advantage. The merchants of this city are always willing to support High School activities, and they have very generously aided in the publication of this issue. UHF Hundred T111113; Our Grounds As last year was our first in the new build- ing, it was hardly possible to put the grounds in good condition before the Close of schoolt But this year many improve ments have been made and planned The lawn has been improved and evergreens have been planted along the front and sides of the building. Vines, which are being trained up the columns to the rear of the building and over the arches in front. will add much to its beauty. The Botany classes have put in gardens on two sides of the south building. Let us feel, students, that it is our duty to aid in this matter as much as possible and keep our grounds beautiful by keeping them clean; Our Growth Long Beach is known as the fastest growing city in the United States. and from all appearances Long Beach High is bidding fair to attain a similar recold among the High Schools of the land. The Senior can remember the time when the school was no more than half its present size. During his attendance here he has seen the enrollment grow from five hundred to nearly eleven hundred, with a faculty of Hltyeone. How long will it be before our new building is crowded? We thought we were getting a building that would be ample for several years to come. but from indications it will be Only a short time until the crowded conditions of the old American Avenue School are again experienced in the new polytechnic building. It has already been found necessary to procure more room by build- ing an open air study hall. lunch room. and girls' gymnasium, We are merely voicing the sentiments of all the students when we thank Mrs. Welbom. the quiet little lady in the library. who has been of such service to us all during the year. 01w Iiwulr'w! V'hn'mwir lt was. the annual reunion of the Grey Mouse Fraternity. and our little grey brothers were gathered from all parts of the city to relate their experiences. The first to speak was the president. who. by virtue of his office. inhabits our school building. Never before. he said, have I seen or heard of such happenings in this school. Perhaps the most interesting events have been the assemblies, of which I will tell only a few. From my vantage point behind the scenes l had a dandy view of the moving-picture pantomime given lay the Freshman Class in honor of the l'Scrub advent. It was a truly clever perform- anCe; A new project of the student-hody is the moving-picture entertainment. Several of these have been given under the auspices of the Entertainment Commissioner. and are greatly enjoyed by the students,.

Several automobile parties of Seniors and their friends attended an afternoon performance. and l juclgc had a delightful time. Speaking of Seniors. I must tell you about the Junior Senior pie sale.

Seven dollars and Fifty cents, fellows, was paid for that pie, hut. in sooth. 'twas worth it! I was fortunate, indeed, to hear the address of Dr. Baer. president of Occidental. and Curtis D. Wilbur. Judge of the Juvenile Court of Los Angeles. Having such men as these to speak to the students is one factor in making the assemblies worth while. The Assembly boosting the Glee Club concert was en- tertaining, too. Rev. Bode explained the fundamentals of music and played one of his compositions.

I know all about it. because I live at Herr Bauman's home. The club has been in a Hourishing condition this year. and German is spoken almost entirely at the club meetings. Some features of these meetings will not easily be fOl'gc'lten-SUCh as the picking of Chrysanthemums at Mr. Bauman's by moonlight: the singing and the weiners at Miss Wall's; the debate on Napoleon at the home of the Welter brothers, and the royal entertainment and German refresh- menls at Mr. Brockelmann's.

A master composition is appreciated infinitely more. when one knows the composer; and under what condition It was written.

At this assembly Miss Lennre Allen and Way Middough sang The Rosary as a sopranmtenor duet in so exquisite a manner that every one who heard them realized that these two young people have rare talent The orchestra which so successfuiiy played between acts in the Senior play was a picked one. composed principally of Seniorst which just fits into the orchestra pit. For this reason, and because it does such creditable work, it has provided the music for a number at entertainments. Then there is the banduthat jolly bunch that makes the whole assembly ring with its joyous racket. It plays at games, assemblies and for debates. In fact, when we took it to the Glendale debate to help make a big noiseu it succeeded so well that the Glendale crowd looked quite deafenedmperhaps from jealousy. At all events, we're strong for the hand. So here's to Clyde Shrode and his Long Beach High School Band Beside the rumble and roar of the mighty hand. the Mandolin and Guitar Club's selections are but the tinkling of Fairy bells. it is a harmonious tinkling though. as shown by the hearty applause given all its numbers. Mr. Baer, president of Oxy, who spoke to us one day in April, was much pleased by its playing in assembly that day. Never has song and yeti spirit run higher during this semester. Several new songs were composed and sung with the accompaniment of Mabel Martin and Irma Enloe, and under the lively leadership of Velona Pilcher and Dorothy Knott.

The home team won by a safe margin, but we lost at Santa Barbara by a score sumciently large to give them the victory. Om.- Ilumlrwl Furly-M'mz Glendale Debate The last and best debate of the year was more gratifying than the first. This debate was with Glendale High Schooii which was considered a close contender for league honors. The team which journeyed to Glendale was strongly supported by the ioyal debate boosters of the Green anti Cold, as is amply testified by the fact that two cars were necesxary. MiL ler McClintock and Hal Carroll ably represented us at Glen- dale and carried 0H First honors with a comtortable score of I98 to I65 I73 on the question. Resolved. that Labial unions are beneficial to the laboring man. The debate here was also overwhelmingly won by Harry BuH'um and Harold Crowe. The decisive score of 209 to l33 i-3 proved clearly the superiority of our team. The total score thus amounted to 407. as opposed to Glendale's 348 23' The Coach The credit for the triumph of our team cannot be be- stowed on any person more worthy of it than the efficient coach, Miss Lodwick. it is to her excellent coaching and steady encouragement that the debaters attribute their success in the arduous contests of arguments. She is very enthusiastic over the prospects for next year's championship with such stuctents as Vivian Kraus. John Halbert. Ray Iredeti and Roland Wheel- ton, supported by two successful debaters of this year, Hal Carroll and Miller McClintock. This year a new system was adopted which was to give more attehtion to extemporaneous work. The First affirma- tive speaker had ten minutes and the other speakers twelve minutes. Then all had six minutes more in turn and the first affirmative four minutes additional for rebuttal. This plan: as expected, was eminently successful, a more thorough under standing and grasp of the subject being necessary. mic Ilmulr'r'lf riff, vivian Kraus Hal ca m0 Miss Lodwick.

Manager Hugh ShipPEY Inter-Clasa Debate; The intm-claas debates this year have been extreme1y spirited and close, A number of capable men have demnn- strated their power on the platform and have added to our hopes for a championship banner next year. Senior-Junior Debate The first inter-class debate was won by the Seniors from the Juniors on the question Resolved. that the Commission form of governmem should be adopted in all cities of lava! 5,000 population. The debate showed excellent prepara- tion on both sides and the Seniors won by a scant third of a point Will Ryan and Dwight McFadyen won For the Seniors with a score of I92 2-3, while Lewis Lane and Emerson Sav- age proved themeslves a strong second by piling up I92 1-3 points. Sophomore-Freshman Debate The Sophomore-Freshman debate was almost as Close as the Senior-Juninr, but again the upper class triumphed. The question which proved of so much interest was. Resolved. that the workingman'e insurance should be adopted in the United States. The Freshman representatives were Alvin Andrews and Beverly Andetson, opposed to the Sophomore debaters Ray IredelI and Roland Wheaton. Again the score was close. the Sophs. winning by a score ofl922-3tol91F-3. Our Umitl'rnl Fifly-Tum STUDENT BODY The Commission Commissioner of Finance and Revenue , . . . .

Jane E. Harnctt The New Government Has the new government been a success or a failure? The general consensus of opinion is that the year l912-l 3 has been eminently successful. But is this because of. or in spite of, the new system? We must all agree that the elimination of parties has been a grcat factor in our success. There has been none of the 0ch party spirit which has so many time: made harmonica: action on the part of Student Body officers impossible. Instead of the many elected officials under the old system, we now have: only Eve chosen from the Student Body These five have entire. charge of Student Body activities and decide school policy. Thus. where we formerly had perhaps twenty nHicers pulling in opposite directions. we now have: five pulling lagethcr. If for no other reasons than those mentioned above. the answer to the question we have asked must certainly be in the zaermntive. Um lhuulrr'rl ININfl'VHH' Harold mec Hm.

The House was calied to order eariy in lhe year by the speaker, and all members were present with all lheir enthusiasm of past years. The House immediately be: gen work and was given the filth period for meetingsi The Committee on Committees was elected. with Ed, Pawson as chairman, and appointed all other committees. The Member- ship Committee was immediately swamped and it appeared like a banner year for the House. Francis Reider, George Green, Wayne Watt. Ernest Parks. Newell Stearns, Dean Gardiner. Lawrence Dunn, Robert Nelson, Lawrence Lehighl Miller McClintock. Paul Wilcox, Lester Laraway and Arthur Wilcox were admitted. Bills of great interest were brought up and the best of discussions resulted. Combining with the Portia Club. we were granted a so- ciety hour. Here the House was even more successful. and more and more discussions and bills were brought up. Bor: clon. Kentucky. on the intervention of United States in Mex- ico: Barton, Pennsylvania. on the free use of the Panama Canal lor American shipowners; Shippey. California, on mu- nicipal ownership: Carroll, New York. on free trade; Green, Nevada, on national highway, and lredell, California, on six year term of president, were a few of the interesting hills which caused lengthy and excited debate. The social side had not been forgotten, for, on Friday. February 3th, a stag banquet was held at the Alexandria roof garden. This was only half stag. howeveri for our guardian angels, Misses Russell and Lodwick, were pres- enl. Toasts were given by Buffum. Illinois; Shippey, Cali- fornia; Burton. Pennsylvania; Carroll, New York; McFadyen. Delaware. Crowei Oregon. acted as toastmaster. All agreed that a very profitable and pleasant time had been spent and even party contentions had been forgotten. The House was communicating with the Webster So- ciety of Santa Ana. the Statesman of Pasadena and the Forum of Los Angeles. and was planning juint meetings and social affairs with them. These bright prospects added greater interest to the House. when. lo. a thunderboit from a clear sky shatterEd all our bright hopes. The society period was taken away and the House lay almost extinguished. But the Flame of interest is again smouldering and. at this time, gives bright outlook of breaking forth with renewed strength. Om' Immirt'tl f'ift:t-.S'E:rr PORTIA Boys will be boys, is a true saying. but a truer nne is. I'Girls will beat boys. and that is what the Portia Chill. com posed of Junior and Senior Girls, has done. Miss Carrie Smith, as president, has carried us through the year triumphantly. Every Wednesday afternoon. at the ninth period. we meet in the assembly for the entertainment Which one of the sections has prepared, and strange, ytl .tid true. the boys always want to visit us. especially on the days they are not wanted. But then we hardly blame them. for our programs are well worth while, for the Music Section is alwaYS interesting, given usually by our High School artists. We have learned about the George jr. Republic, and Mr. Lloyd Wyatt and Mrs. Craydon, of the Associated Charities, have spoken to us. under the auspices of the Social Service Section. The Dramatic Section has presented two comedies: The Aunt from California, and The Burglar. both Fahd screams? The Language Section has entertained us With SUCh a mixture of tongues that we feel as though we were at the Tower of Babel, and the Travel Section has taken us. minus the usual expense and discomfort of travel. through many foreign lands. And In all our work and play in this. the SBCODCI year of our existence. it has been Miss Harnett to whom we owe our successkwe thank her. To you Sophomore and Freshman girls who are the coming Juniors and Seniors, we bequeath our Portia Club, May you always do your duty. and that is-h-never let the bays beat you.

Have any of you pupil; while waiting for your turn to consult Miss Fox. taken a peep into a paper called HThe Gon- dolier? If you have. you remember what a good little magnl zine the Venice High School puts out. The enrollment of this school at the beginning of the year was one hundred pupils. The Seniors have increased three hundred per cent, there be ing but one last year while there are four this year. The Board of Directors presented the echool. at the beginning of the term. with a moving picture machine and a printing press. San Bernardino High School consists of about four hune dred and fifty pupils. four hundred oi whom belong to the Student Body. The Senior class is very proud of its sixty-Hve memberhthe largest Senior class in the history of the school. A class for training debaters has been organized. t'The World. from St. Paul High School, Minnesota, ranks very high among on! exchanges. The stories and cuts are excellent. The story entitled The Aristocracy of Souls is exceptionally good, being entirely free from the errors which usually cling to the work of an amateur. The first words which caught my attention when I opened The Huiasachen were Sanitary Drinking Fountains. 50 Texas has followed the lead of some other progreesive states. The San Antonio High School will surely produce many law- yem since they have eight diEerent debating societies. Manual Arts High School in L0: Angeles, California, has an enronent one one thousand six hundred and fifty pupils, 02th Humhwl Sirfyrmj: Their large number made a new auditorium a necessity. Among the people who have addressed them in the new build- ing are Dr. Harry Holmes of New Zealand and Congressman W. D. Stephens; The pupils seem to appreciate the value of a knowledge of History. since onc-half of them are enrolled in the History Department. There were three new studies added to their course this year-economics, homeenursing and house- hold mathematics. Cooking and sewing were also made solidi The magazine edited by the Junior Republic boys con- tains good. wholesome reading. It is always free from blun- ders in printing, which speaks well for its young boy edilox; Of course, it is expected that he do exceptionaiiy fine work. because he is from Long Beach. The E. H. S. Pohoh from Elko. Nevada. has a very simv ple and pretty cover for its Christmas number. The magazine is good. considering the size of the scimol. A Freshman diary is original and interesting. I perceive the manager of their paper has as tough a job as our Caerulea manager. The High School Item from Pasadena. California. is very good for a monthly Pasadena. as well as Long Beach. 1135 had the privilege of listening to Dr. Dana Bartlett of Los An- geles. A new exchange is HThe Mission, from the Mission High School in San Francisco. The girls who gratiuatec? in Decem- ber. I912, set a limit upon their graduating dresses and 556' aided to be their own dressmakers as far as possible. Ibis action is especially commendable since sewing is not taught in their school. The December issue contains eleven excellvnt stories, four good essays and six sonnets, besides the various nlher departments, su you can judge as to the exceNence cf the paper.

Cal, 0m: Ihmn'n :1 .k'iJ'lyth-rjhl SONG AND YELL BASEBALL Long Beach High School may boast this year of the best baseball machine it has ever had. in 1912 our team was de- feated in the First game played, with San Diego. Since then Long Beach has participated in twenty-six contests on the diamond with other high schools and has been defeated but once. The team's prospects are bright for the remaining six games of the season, The team is Very evenly balanced. and with the able coaching of Professor Gaatrich and the faithful training of the squad. a glorious 1913 championship seems certain. The men who receive their letters are: Art Wilcox. catcher, who has made good as was prev dicted last year. He works admirably with his pitchers and times all plays perfectly. Many a basc-runner has been caught by Art's careful and accurate timing of signals. Bill Craig has clearly demonstratecl that he is the premier High School twirler in Southern California. It is not an uncommon occurence for him to strike out sixteen men in one game Bill has a good assortment of curves and great speed. This is his fourth year and his absence will he keenly fell next year. Roland Bones is another veteran who has helped to win our three succeSSive championships. Bones is one of the most daring base runners in the south. Every member of an Opposing team must keep a close watch on RoIiie, as he sure is some adept at sneaking bases. Captain Bones will leave this year. Wayne Volk, who Fielded a IUUU per cent season at short stop last year, is playing a wpnderful game this year. Volk is batting over 400 and is one of the leading hitters on the team. He graduates this year. Gilbert Akin as short-stop has no equal in high school or college circles. He is wonderfully fast and accurate and is also batting over 400 per cent. Akin has played two years on the Long Beach team, so Oil is another hard man to re- place. He is an all-mund player. The First of the season he Was used as catcher and he can also assist in the pitching line. William Reagan, better known as Tweedl' alias uHappy, has made one of the best managers that our base- ball teams have ever had. We are glad that Bill will be with us again next year, when he should have no trouble in holding rJ-m- HM ridrml Swimiig-Om third base. He is a good base runner and is making 400 at batting. John Parish, Fielder, is the most energetic player on the team. He practices as though he were playing the game and can always be depended upon. He. has developed into a star fielder. Leonard Harvey is one of our surest hitters. He has batted in more runs this year than any other player. This is Harvey's first year. and he has proven his ability. He will he one of our strongest players next yeah Lloyd Weilenman. Frank Worthen. and Fred Johnson are hard workers and heavy hitters. They can be depended upon in a pinch and have done much toward the success of the baseball Season of I913 for Long Beach High School. HANDBALL The interciass handball games were very close this year. The Hnal victory rested with the Juniors. which class was pre- sented with the Lewis Drug Store cup. This year we were presented with a new cup by Hoover and Bennett for the individual championship of the school, the winner to have his name inscribed on the cup. The tourna- ment was well played. the games being very closely contested. After a number of hardifought battles Arthur W'ilcox was de- ciared winner. This year WC have tried to get handball into the inter- schoiastic ranks. We have played a game with Los Angeles High School on their grounds. and although not winning the game, the boys played very well. The Los Angeles Y. M. C, A. courts are: box courts. that is, entirely enclosed. The boys never having played on this kind of courts before had to learn an entirely new game. Our school was represented by four men. Charles Adams, John Davis. Samuel Van Liew. and Wayne Nedrnw. Although we are more than willing to sacrifice the cement courts for the Caerulea, we hope to have them next year, when we expect to make handball a minor interscholastic sport. WALTER SHEEK. TENNIS The Tennis outlook at the First of the year was very bright. Ed. McCotmick, one of the stars of Southern Califomia, nm- Numhwl Swwwiy 'l'rm FFDDCM OImrEEOZm was appointed manager. and through his work the school couits were put into good shape. The team was First entered in the Southern California Tene nis league. in which it played two tournaments, defeating U. S C. Preps, but losing to the College team, At this point McCormick left for Los Angeles High. thug weakening the team materially. Having no more chances in the League. the team with- drew and the rest of the tournaments have been independent. Our team lost to Pasadena twice and to Harvard once, but this does not give an idea of the prospects for next year. Three of the boys on this year's team will be here next year and with what new material will be developed on the new cement courts. a winning team should be produced. The Hotel Virginia has been very courteous to the learn this year, extending the use of the courts for tournaments and practice. as welt as furnishing rooms for visiting players. F RED 1 OHNSTON. WATER POLO Water polo started this year with a big splash. A county league was formed and three schools entered. Los Angeles Poly. Los Angeles High and Long Beach Poly. Long Beach, with Five of Last year's championship team back, and plenty of new material. was assured of a strong team. The Long Beach Bath House plunge was secured for practice twice a week. Soon the new rules and plays were learned and the team was ready to uphold its last yearTs record. The inter-class games were played Feb. I4th. The Fresh- men defeated the Sophomores by a score of 2-I. The Seniors were victorious over the Juniors to the tune of TO-I. The Seniors and Freshmen played for the championship. with the Seniors winning by a score of 3-0. The Erst game in which we could show our superiority was with Los Angeles Poly, when, on Feb. 22nd, we defeated them by a score of 3-0. We had a game scheduled with Los Angeles High, but they did not show up. Later. however. we went to Los An- geles and played our hut league game with the High buys. and defeated them by a score of 673. Our second league game was with Las Angeles Poly. played at Los AngeIe! Athletic Club. It was a hard fought game. The first half ended with a score of 3-2 in our favor. Long Beach went into the last half with more determination and piled up a score of 8-3. The next game was a practice 07w Hmulrn! Nrrruiulhnw 1 Art dumquu game at home with the husky squad from Bimini Baths. At the start it appeared that it would be a close game. but they soon lagged out. and went down to the score of l I-l. This year's learn is exceptionally strong for high schooi c1335. By hard, constant training and hearty cn-operation of Coach Elliott. Long Beach is sure oi another victory in water polo. The Iine-up for this year is as follows: SprinteHPete Lenz 0:3th ForwardseEd Campbell ngrJ and H. iredeli. Center Haife-Miilard. GuardaeF. Reider. Andy Dunlap. Coaieceo. Marshal.

The star of the old game is proving himself efhcient as ever in making goals under the new rules, This is Pete'si' 1213! year. We hate to lose him. Campbell. forward. has played a very consistent game all season, He is always right in the thick of the fray when there is a goal to he made. One of the best Flghters 0n the team. He has also very successfuiiy carried out his duties as manager. Good-bye. Edv iredeii, Campbell's team mate at the forward position, is a new man but certainly plays the part like an aid water dog. He will be back with us next year. Millard, center-haif, is a new' man and has more years with us. He has out-piayed any man he has played against, and is considered the fastest man on the team. Dunlap. guard. is an old player but has more years with us. Shorty is one of the best best guards in the Southland. Marshal. goal is a bear cat. Lie is fond of ducking an opponent. in which art he excels. Opposing players are afraid to mix with him, oh limes giving him the haii without a struggle. Ceddes is new in the game, but has pruveci himself worthy Di the positlon by always being on the job. He has saved many goals fur Long Beach. Raider is an old hand at polo and Can show the best of lhcm how to tackle an opponent, besides warding off many goals with his muscular arms. Good-bye. Raider. and may success always be with you; Wark is new and has several years to show his worth. He is known as one of the scrappiest players on the team. We wish to thank the Seconci Team players who came- nut regularly and made it possible to turn out a winning First Team. One Hmirh'ml Srmwty-Sim SWIMMING In the Southern California Swimming meet at Redondo on May 9. for the first time Long Beach succeeded in carrying off the championship, lost last year to Loa Angeles High School by one point. This year several good swimmers were added to the team. and as a result Long Beach defeated Los Angeles, the other principal contestant. by a score of 27 to 26. The Long Beach team won the following events: 50 yards- Dunlap and Millard tied for schnd. 100 yards-w Lenz. third. 220 yardi- Harry Lenz. Hrst. George Marshall, third. 440 yard:- Lenz, first.

Francis Raider is also a Senior and we shall be sorry in lose him. Raider has been a member of the swimming team for the last two years and has placed in both Southern Cali- fornia meets. Harry Iredell is a new man, yet has succeeded in captur- ing a place in the Southern California meet without trouble. Andrew Dunlap is proving himself of some worth and has good prospects in coming years. 0110 H1! nd rod .S'm'cmlyv Eight GIRLS7 BASKETBALL The girls' basketball team has had a very successful season, but since they have not been able to secure games with other schools. they have had no chance at the championship. This is largely due to the superstitious awe with which other teams regard our squadea fear well founded. as for Eve years the Long Beach team held the county championship and one year gained the state championship. The team is compuaed of the following girls: Gertrude Willey and Gladys Beeks, forwards: Elsie Fulton and Mary Anderson. guards: Jural Garrison and Esther Dayman, cen- ters. A fast and heady second team has also been developed by Miss Lodwick. the coach, and as all but two of this year's team will be back again next year. the prospects for a brilliant and successful season are good. BOYS9 BASKETBALL Out of a season of fourteen league and practice games. our Boys' Basketball Team won twelve and lost the other two only by small margins. The team went through the county league with a rush and won all seven games. making a perfect Score. The Fruit game was played with Glendale. The game wanna hardrfought one. but Long Beach won by a scote 0t 36 to A For the second game the team journeyed to Harvard Military Academy and came back winners with a score of 46 to 25. The third game was with Santa Monica. The team was in very poor condition for this game. but won by the close score of 28 to 25. South Pasadena came next in line, and as both teams were leading their divisions of the league the game was ex- pected to be very close. In fact, the Los Angeles papers had practicaliy given the game to South Pasadena; Our fellows went on the Hour with a determination to win if possible. and the result was a victory to the tune 0f 44 to I4. Alhambra next fall before the onslaught, our team com- ing home victors with a more of 53 to 25, um: 11 mired Mighty nOC24.4 OiygEOZm At the First of the season our basketball prospects seemed rather poor. but after the first practice game things brightened up. The fellows soon became used to playing with each other and it was not long before they were all playing like vete- xans. Captain Middough held down his usual position at guard, anal as one of the opposing forwards remarked, i'lt is blue hav- ing an iron cage over you to have Middough as your guard Way will be a heavy loss, for he graduates this year; Ed Campbell held down the other guard position and did it like a veteran, although this is his first year. We certainly wish he could be with us next year. The center job was taken care of by Gilbert Aiken and it was generally acknowledged that he was the best center in the league. Not only was he a sure basket shot. but he knew how to get into team work, Aiken will be another loss to the team. McCormick played'forwarcl and worked that position to great advantage. He was sure on baskets and had a habit of getting the ball to his teammates in a way that was good to seat Le Roy King. Manager, played a star game at forward, and could always be depended on to help boost the score. King will be with us next year and will be a great help. Glen Green played a fast game in any punition he was calla; upon to fill and made many points for his school. Howard Wilbur was always ready to help out and we expect great things from him next year. King and Wilbur will be the only ones left next year. so a great many new fellows will be needed. When the call for candidates comes. let every one turn out and help win another championship. 0m? Ii'rmm'wf h'r'ghiy-JI'u-n OOCZHMx wbmxmjmmxrr OI? EEOZM, TRACK Long Beach High was represented this year by one of the fastest teams in its history. Although we lost out in the county championship, this has been a very successful season, and with nearly all of the team back next year. our hopes are high. The first meet was with Pomona College. In this meet we pullccl off three Hrstst Snow took First in the 440-yard dash in 54 3t5 seconds, George Green won the 630 in 2 min- utes anti 7 seconds, and Bartow won the 220-yard low hurdles in 27 3,, 5 seconds. We also took several seconds and thirds. On February 22 the team met Santa Ana. Because of rain that week the team had very little chance to train and lost out by a small margin. In the Occidental Relay Carnival the team took away eight gold medals. Green, Snow, Ohl and Dunn won the four- man mile relay and Green, OH, Dunn and Burkhard won the two-mile four-man relay. The team lost out in the eight- man mile relay, but took second place. The County meet. which is the most important meet of the year, was held at Pasadena on March 15th. Long Beach won second place, losing out to Pasadena by only four points. The team won thirtyufour points. thirtylone on the track and three in the Field events. The relay team won the champion ship for the third consecutive year. Snow has been on the relay team every one of the three years it has won the cham- pionship, and each year he had passed his man on his lap. The County record in the 440, held by Lorne Middough. was broken. and the new record of 52 seconds set. New records were also established in the discus throw, 1 l9 feet I l inches; broad jump, 20 Feet 8V2 inches; shot put, 44 feet ll l-3 inches; ZZO-yard dash, 23 seconds. All the other events weIe very close to record time. George Green starrede winning both the mile and the halF-milc and running a lap on the winA ning relay team. In the 50-yard dash we won all three places. Morse taking first. Bartow second and Wark third. Snow won third in the 440, Wark third in the 220 and 50I Morse First in the 50, Bartow second in the 220 hurdles and second in the 50, Preston third in the pole vault. Cooke third in the high jump. Aiken third in the discus. Wilcox third in the 220 hurdles and Ohl third in the 380, the team winning, in all. six- teen medals. The relay team was entered in the Southern California Meet. getting second place. It lost out by only three yards. Our Himrhwl h'ngy-Fuur INVELL XDVHL and as the team had the sixth lanet about that distance was lost in the touch-off. The team was composed of Snow, Green. Chi and Burkhard, and it averaged under 54 seconds to the man. the fastest team that ever represented Long Beach. The indoor track meet was a big success and was won by the Seniors with the Freshmen second. The Seniors also won the outdoor track meet The Relay Carnival, pulled OR by Manager Snow, was also a big success. the Seniors and Sophomores tying for first. U. S. C. and Occidental were represented by teams, U. 5. C. won the university cup. Pine Avenue won the banner offered to the winning grammar school. Fred Kelly. the world's champion hurdler. ran an exhibition hurdle race. Cullen, who was manager at the first of the year. found it necessary to resign and Snow was appointed in his place.

FOOTBALL Perhaps the strongest High School interscholaslic Footr ball Conference that has ever been held in Southern Caiiv fomia was that of nineteenetweive. The league was composed of eight strong teams. all determined to win the highest honors. The opening games were played on October the twelfth and the closing game on Thanksgiving Day. Our Hrst squad was coached this year by an old pigskin veteran of the North Western League. Coach Elliott of Chi- cago University. one of the players who helped win the cham- pionship for his Alma Mater in '08, It was through the come bined efforts of Coaches Elliott and Russel and the second team that the Hut team was able to tie for championship. The opening game with Whittier High showed that Long Beach was to be one of the leading teams of the season. The games that followed were closely contested, especially the game with ChaHee High. This game was played at Ontario on Carnival Day. Our High School Spirit was manifested by the hundred and Fifty routers. The invincible Santa Ana team was played the next Saturday. As long as Football is played is Southern California. the exciting features of this game will remain fresh in the minds of all who saw it. We were now the only team in the league playing with a thousand per cent. The next two games were of less importance. and we were look- ing forward to the big Thanksgiving Game with Pasadena. About six hundred students anti friends journeyed to the Crown City with our team in hope of cheering the players on to victory. You all know the result. The season ended with Santa Ana and Long Beach tied for championship. Let us work next year with one end in vieWethe Southern California Football Championship; To those who have playetf their last game on the grid: iron for Long Beach, we give our best wishes as they go on to college and work.

LECAERULEASS COLLECTION FROM OLD MANUSCRIPTS VERILY THERE WAS N0 FIRE. tUnearthed and Transtatcd by Maude Strand, '16J And it came to pass in the days of David that there were no coais kindled. and no Haming hrs to warm the host's bowed spirits. Then it was that David's followers Russelledt yea. e':n ran around the circle outside the sanctuary. Thereupon the Scholars became heated with a fire that lasted nigh unto the next period. which in those days of reckoning was fartyrfive minutes. Thus they proceeded till towards high noon. when the winds of the heavens rose in furious tumults. bringing with them a storm. termed by the villagers abiding in those valleys. Santa Ana. Thereupon David gathered his Huck about him. counselling. in learned language. with the chief elders. Then turning to the multitude he bade each one of them go their way Lame, and hetake themselves in out of the cold and storm. mu' HHmeI .VI'urUf-Nim HOW ONE HUGHIFERUS BUILT HIM AN FENCE tUnearthed and Translated by Harold E. Ctowe. i i 3J It came to pass in the year of our Lord Nineteen hundred. ten and three years: that. Hughiterus Fenimoris Shippey, son of Martin. and member of the Grand High Commission of the High School of Long Beach of California determined to build him an fence Five hundrecf cubits long. twelve cubits high, and costing four hundred pesims. Hughifemsl son of Martin, sought from the Grand High Commission the wheretwith-all; and. having been awarded the lumber where with to build. he found tto his great surpriset that post-holes were most necessary to the erection of fences. Straightway Hughiferus, son of Martin. set himself the task of digging pust-hoies; but the ground showed itself to be most obdurate to advancements made by the shovel, and Hughiferus found his muscles to be growing too large for his coat and his perspiration too copious tor the common towel, So. moved by the thought of backache. SWSBL and bursting coats, Hughiferua Fenimoris, son of Map tin, waxed eloquent in the great council 0f the people. saying With gesture, lieep emotion. and oratorical HouriSh. Will you dig? Then the people in council assembled. moved by his eloquence. with loud stamping of the pedal extremetigs and with fervor made answer saying. You betl After that coun- ciE Hughiferus stepped forth with light heart. communing with himself and saying in his think-tank. Ah. Hughiferus thou shaft sweat no more. BUT Hughifems' light heart grew as heavy as pure gold brick when he arrived at the line of post-holes to End that the people assembled in council had forgotten his worthy appeal. all save Warriner. his trusted and ancient aide. Warriner. son at NotiEer. And Warriner made speech with Hughifems warning thus in high English The people in council assembled. have come and went. tadding under his breath in spilit'j Ah! fair warning, Warringer. So, therefore. Hughiferus Fanimoris ShippL-y. son of Mar- tin. renewed his attack upon the earth of hardest character and was. at last, after many passing: of the moon. crowned victor over HHard Pan. Long live Hughiferusl Moral: If a thing is to be did, do it. YE BASS VIOL. 07w thirrtr! A'Ewty-N-wu AS YE EAT SO SHALL YE SUFFER tUncarthed and Translated by Ellsworth Cooke, 'T6t And it came to pass. that there was great sorrow and grief in our High School. And Mr. Burcham cried out with a loud voice: Verily, Verilyt I say unto you, whosoever eateth of the hash prepared by the Cafeteiia, shall suffer untold ugoniea and remorse. For have not such disciples of thc Hashery. disciples with bodies of iron. been made to endure pains, pains that even a window could not bear? Yea! Yea! And it came to pass, that one Hugh Shippey, a strapping fete low, partook of this time defying mixture of everything gathu ered since the time of Methusalah, and Lol his face beamed with an unholy light, and. attai' acting in the manner of ctisciple Bawldwin for many periods. he turned up his coat collar and croaked. And it came to pass that Charles Green. the son of Jupiter. together with Electra, with judge BuEum. Yea! Harold Crows. the non 0f the north wind. formed themselves into a committee and hied themselves fast to one Coash Rus- sell who happened, at the time, to be in charge of the hash department of the Cafeteria. of the Polytechnic High School. of Long Beach. California, United States of America. And light merrily did the committee smite The Coach with words Of eloquenCe and Sarcasm. And there broke Out under Rust sell's collar a feeling of warmness, waxing stronger and stronger as the moments passed. The noble man could en- dure the cross examination no longer. Grasping with his hand a dish of newly prepared hash. he threw it at the committee with all the strength of his powerful arms. All but. Disciple Buffum had taken refuge behind the tea kettle. and he, poor fellow, had accidentally caught his hand in the hole of a doughx nut and could not move. The aim of the coach was true. The hash hit the Judge squarely; Yea! it spattered in many direc- tions. Russell. realizing the danger to himself should he re- main, with one bound cleared the prostrate form of a banana. dashed through an open door and escaped into the city. And it came to pass; the hash inspecting committee had been overcome by the noxious vapors arising from the newa made mixture of everything and had died bravely. And be: held an angel of mercy settled over the Cafeteria. No more could hash be made there. For now itwaa BEANS! BEANS! BEANS!

Adamsone Piease. sir. me father says they was too hard for him and would you mind giving me some easier ones. Bachelor's Life Oh. bachelor's life so grand and free. I surely was deceived in thee. A5 I look back it's plain to me That it isn't always joyful. Sometimes i think a little pays, But a liktle goes a long, long ways, When the little lasts some sixty days It's far too much for me. it's great at midnight when you sup, And with the fellows pass the cup, But. say. it's frightful to clean up. Which sometimes has to happen, Now dust is a thing thatis not half bad, But just because it's no! the fad I've got to dust it makes me mad, 'Cause some people are so foolish. it's handy with things on the Hoar, But it looks just iike there'd been a war, i can't wade through it any more, And I guess that's not so 'andy. Since washing dishes is a sin And scanty breakfast makes one thin. And you make beds over and over again, The fun iia almost gone. The fellows that come around at night And have a joyful iittie Fight Are gone when it's time to set things right, BuL of course, that's only proper. I guess it's plain to a very few. it might be clear to one like you That one's not half as good as two. E'en in a bachelor's den. CHARLES D.
