As she dressed. Florence had thought with a sigh of relief that it was Friday, which meant that two whole days. free from the trials ol 3 teacher. were very near. Florence was enthusiastic. ardent. and full of the realization of her splenclid opportunity in training young minds, never theless, she was only twenty, and to spend one's 1915!: eight months away from home in teaching school on the desert is as boresome an it is noble. Suddenly she stopped. with a hairpin poised in midAair. and sniffed suspiciously. Yes. it was all too trueehamecgand. horror of horrors. fried potatoes! She grimaced sympathetically at her reHeC- tion in the glass and then slowly and contemplatively slid the hairpin into place. Yes. it was Friday, but it was also the thirteenth. The ham and potatoes had ample time to get cold and grease-Itiffened while waiting for the men of the house to return from the morning chores, and Florence lost what little appetite she had had while helping Beth in the already stifling hot kitchen. The ride to the school house seemed longer and dustier than usual. but once in the shade of the cotton-wcod tree in the school yard she took heart. iThil-lvmn Just before the beginning of school. Jim. the cherub- faced. blue-eyed, 'itifth grade, presented her with a bunch of coreopsia, drooping in the heat. and fairly gasping for water. He assured her that they would freshen. but she scarcely heard him. A sickening wave of homesickness came over her at the sight of the Howers. Coreopsisl what happy days they brought back! The spacious hen Filled with pe0v pie, the white clad girls. the Sound of the ocean as the gradu- ates stood silently waiting their turn to march in. thee Please, Miss Jerome. shall I get some water for the Rowers? Jim gazed at her wonderingly from the depths of his blue eyes. Yea, yea, Jim. clear, but hurry back. it's time to call the roll. Florence pulled herself together with an effort, The morning dragged and grew hotter and hotter. With infinite relief Florence dismisseci the children at noon and started for the mail box a quarter of a mile ciown the road. This had become the event of each lung monotonous day. Several fat letters repueed in the mail box. and with a satished smile she siid all but one into her blouse. This one, a pale pink frivolous affair. she ripped open in a hurry. uEstelle always writes the newaiest letters. she thought gratefully. Dearest little school ma'am chum, was the extrava- gant but satisfying beginning A clone observer would. how- even have ventureci a guess that the letter was far from being cheering tn Florence. As she read on, the feeiing of homesickness returned. She had never felt so alone and left out. Certain clauses in the letter were as fascinating as they were painful. HThe ocean is glorious now. We go in about once a day, and have the grandest timesJe-f' Some of the boys gave a dance last Saturday. Phil was therewi. Jack has a new car, a darling grey onb. 'iIt has been rather cool this week. i have played tennis till I am quite a shark. By the time she came to the characteristic signature. Florence had reached the point where tears or iaughter were inevitable, She wisely chose the latter; By the shades of all good coyotes! she cried out loud, Why doesn't something thrilling happen? I could stand almost anything better than this deathlike monotony. especially when everyone is having such a glorious time back home. Even a runaway would liven things up a bit.' The weeds at the side of the roaci moved. but, she thought. her something thrilling would have to be more exciting than a snake, after living on the desert seven or eight months. tFourteenJ Florence sauntered on down the road reading the rest of her letters, then. realizing how late it was getting, she quickened her pace. As she neared the achooi, something unusual seemed to have happened. The children were gath- ered in an excited knot near the door. and were talking in loud shrill voices. When they saw her. they ran down the road with fright ened faces. ail talking at once in exasperatingiy incoherent phrases. i'Oh, teacher. it'a Jim! HPiemel let me go after him. And the stirrup was broken. too. Where do you think he in? Florence calmed the children as best she could and Hnally drew from them. bit by bit, the story of the accident. Jim had boasted openly of his ability to ride Flea. his frisky iittie pony. tn the Big Ditch and back again before the bell rang. One of the older boys had dared him to try it, and before any of the chiidren could stop him, he had saddled and bridled Flea and was OH. A few minutes iater the pony. damp and panting, galloped up, the saddle empty. and one stirrup hanging loose. The first feeling that Florence experienced was one of guilt. Why had she even thought of wishing for a runaway? Providence would have punished her justly if jim were killed. Helen. take charge of school while Iim gone, please, and keep the children interested. Bert. will you saddle two of the horses and come with me? Be good youngsters now, and we'll soon have Jim back here. She spoke with a conftdence she was far from feeling. but the chiidren were reassured and waved cheerily while she and Bert. the biggest boy in school. turned their horses' heads toward the Big Ditch and rode away. Half a mile from the school house they saw a team and proaching. Florence suddenly realized that appearances were against her if it should be anyone who knew her in the capacity of school ma'am. for to be off horseback riding with the oldest boy during school hours was hardly the proper thing. A quick glance told her that the driver of the team was Bill Dodge, the most severe and unreasonable member of the school boani. This would never do, so with a hurried word of explanation to Bert, she pulled her hat far over her eyes, dug her heels into her horse 3 sides and with averted face, passed the wagon in a cloud of dust. Bert grinned appreciativeiy, and they rode on in silence. As they neared the Big Ditch with as yet no sign of Jim, Florence grew still more anxious. The sun seemed to grow mmmn hotter and hotter and the hits of scanty shade they passed through now and then as they neared a ranch house. only seemed to intensify the heat. I don't aim to go much further without stopping to get a drink. Bert suddenly declared. Anyhow, l guess Jim's drowned, he continued cheerfully. There was a little fuller 'way over yonder in the Rose district got drowned last summer in one of them big ditches. They were very near the ditch now and Florence's over- wrought imagination conjured up all sorts of fearful pictures. Perhaps Jim was lying unconscious by the roadside where Flea had thrown him. Perhaps his leg was broken and he was trying to drag himself out of the burning sun. She woluld not think that he was drowned. That was too hor- rib e. A group of tall upindly gum trees stood by the ditch and from behind them came a clear, high treble, singing. Hl love to go a-roving. a-roving, a-roving. l love to go a-roving on hazy autumn clays. Could it he Jim? Yes, she could not mistake that familiar rendering of his favorite selection. There he sat, his abbreviated trousers rolled high. his lusty brawn legs dangling in the cool water. his back against the smooth trunk of the tree. singing with all the joy in his little heart. Florence's Erst impulse. after the relief of finding him safe. was to pick him up in her arms and hug him. he looked so darling and little. Instead of that she stood looking at him gravely. He glanced up with an angelic smile crinkling his dirt streaked little face. Hello, Miss Jerome.' he ventured in a common-place tone of voice. ujimf she said severely. why have you done this? uWhyt l was hiding in the weeds ready to jump out at you down by the mail box, and I heard you say that you wished something thrilling would happen. even a runaway. so I thought I'd fix one up for you.

' I 4. lvaentl-unjp Second Prize Upper Class Story On: bright September clay, a few years ago. a young fellow walked briskly down the sidewalk leading from the penitentiary. The joyousness and gnod will of earth seem- ed to be reflected in his face. As he neared the gate. he turned to take a look at the building where he had been for two years. It was a large gray stone building with mar row barred windows. The grounds surrounding the instituh tion were shut off from the outer world by a high stone wall. On the whole it was a very uninviting place in which to live; However, that was past. Harry Crcw was free. and able to look the world in the Face. At this moment he was on his way to keep an appointment For a personal interview with the governor. The forty minute ride to the governor's ofFlce seamed very short. It had been two years since he had ridden in a street car, and the new sensation was very pleasant. it seemed to Harry that the wheels were saying. I'l am free. I am free, l am free. As he approached the large white capitol, Harry thought his heart would break with happiness. The governor was bending over his desk when Harry was ushered in. He turned around quickly, and saw standing before him a young man about twenty-two years old. Harry was a tall athletic fellow, dressed in a neat blue suit. His clear blue eyes look- ed straight into the eyes- of the governor. His Firm chin showed determination. and strength of charactert His hand- some face was lighted with a pleasant smile. Good morning. my boy, greeted the governor. You are right on timel u-ngh lt-i-IIJ b Good morning, Governor Moreheadt answered the oy. Let us get right down to work. You know that I have pardoned you. but I wanted to tell you why. You were given a twanty year sentence for grand larceny I have Iookemi into the case. and found that you were not entirely to blame. It was your first offense, and you were used as a tool for hardened, experienced men. I have pardoned you because of thiS. and because of your good bahavior the past two years. I Htmly believe in you, and I want you to make good. Here are your papers. Thank you. sir.' said Harry. You will never know how grateful I am to you. I will do my best to make good I01 your sake. You will never regret what you have Clone for me. HHavc you decided what you will do First? asked the governor. Yes, I will finish my education. I am very glad to hear thatf' replied Mr. Morehead. Let me know now and then how you are getting along. wiII you?H UYes, air. if It wouldn't bother you, said Harry. HNot at all. not at a . my boy. but I have an important meeting in a few minutes. so I will have to say goodbye for today Harry. Good morning. sir. and thank you again. said Harry as he left the office. While at the penitentiary. Harry had become interested in agriculture. He had resolved to enter the state univer- Sily. in order to take a course that would Ht him for his work. This was the nineteenth of September, and the uni- versity was to open two days later. Harry made his way to the univarsity. which was a few blocks away from the capiloI. As he entered the campus a group of boys standing near the main building, were attracted by the stranger. Who is he? What's his name? Does anybody know him? were some of the remarks. No one remEmbered ever having seen him before. Harry stopped, and asked one of the boys where the chancellor's OEICC wast uI'll show you. said one of the boys. Come along. Is this your Hrs! year here? Yes. What's your name? Harry Crew. tNinetm'nl Mine's Jim Dana. The boys shook hands. What course are you going to take? uAgriculture; i am very much interested in that line of work. HGood! So am 1 taking- that course: i hope you will be in some of my classes. By the way. do you play foot- ball? Yes, a little; that is. i used to; i think it's a great game, replied Harry. Come out for practice. By this time they had reached the office. The waiting room was filled with boys. Jim knew most of them, and intromiuced his new friend Harry wan soon at his ease laughing and talking with a crowd of them. In a few moments he was admitted to the chancellor's room. The chancellor was very busy, and after asking the boy's name. told him to report to the registrar. Harry start- ed to give the chancellor his papers. but thinking it to he only entrance credentials. the chancellor waved him aside and greeted the next boy. Jim took Harry to the registrar. He also was very busy. He put the papers on his desk. thinking them to be of minor importance. Harry paid his fees with money which he had saved while working at the penitentiary. He had worked up to heaci gardener there, and had saved enough to give him a good start. Then the boys went to dinner. and in the afternoon they went to find an inexpensive room for Harry. It all seemed wonderful to him to be among these good-hearted boys, who treated him so squarely. In this happy way three weeks passed. and Harry was already a favorite with the instructors and students, because of his good work, and good humor, He made the fresh- man football team, without difficulty. The First team men were watching him closely. Every day he realized more and more the joy of being free. and having friends. One day he was called to the chancellor's 051cc As Harry entered the mom. he was surprised to see the chan- cellor frowning, and his face very stem. Are you Harry Crew? . asked the chancellor; Yes, air. Well, i have discovered that there has been a great mistake. I just came across your papers, and I find that you have served two years in the penitentiary. Now, it is against the state laws to allow a convict to enter our classes, I am sorry this has happened. i shuuid have looked at your papers the day you came, You will have to leave tomorrow. tTwnmn Without a word, Harry left the office, too dazed Lo lhink. He pulled his cap down over his eyes. and slipped out to the campus. He walked close to the buildings. in order to avoid meeting any one whom he knew. He passed the athlEtic field where the boys were practicing football. The cheering brought him to his senses. He thought he would stop a few minutes and watch the practice; Then it all came to him that he could no longer be one of this happy crowd when they found out his disgrace. He shook his Eat at them. He hated them because they were ere. He had paid the price for his crime. and had tried to make good. What was the use? The law was against him. The boys were busy and did not notice him. Harry left the campua. and crossed the railroad tracks which were near the athletic field. As he passed a freight car, he heard a low whistle. Turning, he saw Pat. a convict who had been in a Cell next to his in the penitentiary. Where yuh goini. kid? called Pat in a soft voice. Hello. Pat, I am awfully giad to see you. How do you happen to be here? said Harry. Time was up this morning-glad loo. yuh bet I say where yuh g'uin'?n uI don't know. Dunno? Well, I'll bee. came along with your brother Fat. I'm goin' out on the next freight. My old 83118 is Waitin' down to the junction fer muhi We've a big job on fer tuh night. Are yuh on? Just then came a cheer from the football field. At one time Harry's heart would have responded to this cheer. Now it had no effect on him. The cheer came from people who had been his friends. He could no longer be one of them. he was a criminal. an outcast. Yes. Pat, what's the work? HCoin' to blow a big hank. Come on. HeIE's the train. IRMA STEPHENS.

Www.cyxrwo; Beside: a woodland road was a little red school house. First came the school master. Daniel Turner. to unlock the door and put everything in order. He was a tall, we built man with dark hair, forbidding eyebrows, and a stern mouth. Soon afterwards, the children came merrily with their books and rattling dinner pails. They were soon busily playing. The last of all to come was a good looking girl with red hair. swinging her hat in her hand. She paid no attention to anyune, but entered the school house and began to talk to the teacher. As soon as she had disappeared, a general hum of conversation arose. Whoever is that girl. Susie? asked Miranda, a stout plain locking girl, of her tall, thin, no less plain looking chum. Don't ask me. I don't know. answered Susie. i thought your ma knew everything that went on. Well. that's one thing she ain t heard about, Miranda added. MY. 1 do hope she's from a city. I'm so tired of Iivin' here in the woods, an' not seein' anybody but ordinary unv interesting folks. A'Why, Susie Dusenherry. how can you say such a thing when I'm with you most of the time at schoonh asked Mi- randa in an injured tone uOh. we . I wasntt meanin' you, you know.n replied Susie. soothingly. Some of the small boys in the meantime were looking in the door at the stranger. Soon the teacher called the children and lessons began. Before long. Mr. Turner was aware that the attention of the school was wandering. Every- one was either furtively watching the stranger 0r whispering to one another about her. Children. since I see you cannot study on account of tTwL-nterhreet you: curiosity Concerning the new member Of our BCIIDOI. I may tell you that her name is Victory Jones and she came from the city. Now. let us return to our work. One boy, Ted Jackson. could not center his thoughts on the voyages of Columbus, although they would ordinarily have interested him. He was just a tanned. ordinary looking fourteen-year-old boy, with dark hair and twininng eyes. He was looking at Victory and thinking, She's a mighty nice Iooking girl. Red hair is awful pretty on some people. I wish I knew her. She s diEercnt from Susie and Miranda. I wish I could walk home with her; I wonder if she'd let me? Over in another corner of the room. another boy, Bill Summers, was thinking similarly. He was a large over- grown boy with a big head and a matted crown of dusty colored hair above an unintelligent fact. When school was dismissed. both boys thought of waIk- ing home with Victory and both were too bashful to ask her. The young lady in queation soon unconsciously settled the- matter by departing. swinging her hat on her arm. During the day, she had learned the names of all her schoolmates and become slightly acquainted with them. I don't like Miranda. She's too inquisitive and conceited, she thought as she waIkecI along the road. Susie seems to be a nice little thing. Bill's too big for his age and I don't think he knows much. However. Ted is interesting and not bad looking. He looked at me 30 queerIy when I was about to come home. I hope he likes me. The next day Ted became a little boldert He often looked at Victory admiringly and in the middle of the after noon had the impudence to wink at her. She turned up her nose at him, then hi6 her face in her book and laughed to herselfl Soon the teacher called the eighth grade to recite gram- mar. Billy, Miranda. Susie, Victory and Ted filed up and took their seats on the long bench in front of the master's desk. In the middle of Miranda's recitation. Ted reached over the back of the bench and pulled VictoryIs hair, caus- ing her to giggle. Ted. give the principal parts of the verb drink, or dared Mr. Turner. Ted's hand took a firmer grasp on Victory's hair. HPresent. drink: tyank want his hancU past. drank: tyanlq past participle. drunk. he said glibly, while a giggling ouch escaped from Victory.

Victory iooked ashamed and embarrassed. it wasn't her fault. i was bothering her. spoke up Ted. hYou may both see me after school, announced Mr. Turner. The school would have laughed if it had daredo but the teaCher's forbidding frown restrained it. Aftu dismiss- ing school. Turner called Ted and Victory to his desk, Ciearr ing his throat and frowning. he, said. Ted. you are too old to be pulling girls. hair. it disturbs our lessons and is en- tirEIY Ungentiemanly. Victory. any girl of your age should have ermugh dignity not to giggle. Don't do it. it is one of the worst habits of your sex and the one most hatcd by the men. 1 hope in future your behavior will he more womanly. You may 30. Victory Flushed and hung her head as she and Ted left the master's desk, uDon't let that grouchy old bachelor make you feel bad. Victory, whispered Ted comfortingly a! they neared the door. ui'm sorry i pulled your hair. Here. let me carry your book; and waik home with you. Hi-mdon't thinkA-youid better. she answered shyly. Well, all right, I won't if you say so. he said. The next morning; Ted seemed to have forgotten how Victory had received his attentions the night before. He looked at her more than ever. in various ways showing that he was much interested in her. At noon, Miranda and Susie did not ask Victory to eat lunch with them. but walked past her and sat down my der a tree by themselves. Oh, dear, thoughi Victory. nlt'a horrid to have Ted like me. It makes all the girls mad at me Well. if they're that kind, they can stay mad. i Well. Susie. what do you think of the way Ted's act- ing about Victory? i've been nice to him and smiled at him ever since I've been in this here school an he's never paid the least attention to me and then that silly iiitle red headed snip comes along an' he stands up for her in school and talks to hex all the time. I can't understand what he sees in heri said Miranda indignanliy. Don't won'y about that. Goin' with her shows what poor taste he has, rejoined Susie. On a log across the road. the boys were eating heartily and leasing Ted between bites. Pete Green, a bare legged urchin. said inquiringiy. Ted. i thought you didn't like girls. You used to say all you wanted was a good place to fish, an' a swimmin' hole. an' a pony. an' a shot gun. on iTwentyr 1 in wasn't goin' to have any girl in yours, and now you've got one. I don't see how it happened. uVil'ell, she's diHeIent from the real. said Ted. by way of explanation. Is she awful nice? asked a boy With a freckled face and a missing front tooth. Of course she's nice. I wouldn't notice her if she wasn't. was the reply. Bill Summers. who had been silent during this conver nation, now spoke up. She'a nice, in she? Well. not to my idea. She's got carrot hair an' cat eyes. nHer hair isn't carrot colored. replied Tad gallantiy. it's red gold: and her eyes are emerald colored. Well. as 1 have said. she isn't good looking an' what's more, she's a half wilted idiot. UWH'IO said Eu? cried Ted. iiI did. Well, you show what little sense you have by saying so. You know well enough that anybody that says 'think. thank. thunk' like she did, hasn't got much sense, Bill per- Eisted. Yes, but that was my fault, replied Ted. His face Hushed and he was keeping his tamper with an effort. Well, I repeat, said Bill, that she's a homely idiot. It's a lie. I woni! hear another word from you. Quit talking and stand up and Fight like a man if you can. ' th, interposed Pete Green. You can't light here at school. Old Turner '11 lick both of you. Fightin' ain't H! for girls to see. anywayi Wait till after school when you're goin' hams. Ted saw the: wisdom of Pete's speech, Well. I won't Fight now. but we'll go up to the little meadow after schonl. If you'll take back what you said awhile ago, I wonit fight at an. uVVeli, i won't do it, You re scared to fight What I say. I stand by. uA11 right, we'il see how you stand by it after school, answerld Ted. Soon Mr. Turner called the boys and girls in for the afternoon session. The two boys went ini but each silently determined that he would get the best of the other. While the grammar class was reciting. T:d whispered to Victory. Say. Victoryt I'm awfully sorry, but I can't walk home with you tonight. I have to do a little strand in the opposite direction from whete you live. Hm, thought Victory, who wants you to walk home fTwL-nly-Hixl with me? Nevertheless, she was just a little disappointed. After school. the boys set out to the east. the direction opposite that of their homes. Bi and Ted said little. but the smaller boys were busy guessing who would win the flight. About a half mile from the school house, there was a little meadow close by the road behind some trees. Here the boys stopped. HWE . 1 gueas we might as wen begin, said Ted. Of course you haven't got a chance of winning, but I've got to Fight to stand by my word. an' to show I'm not a COWard. replied Bill. Both boys took off their coats, rolled up their sleeves. and began to tht, while the smaller boys stood around in a ring intently watching. Back and forth Flew the thtels' fists. Soon Bill's nose was bleeding and Ted had received a severe blow in one eye. I'm sorry. but I'm afraid Ted is goini to get the worst 0f it. remarked the boy with the heckled face to Pete Greeni Don't be too sure, Ted's gritty? replied Pete. By this time. Ted's iniured eye was of no use to him. and his hair falling over the other, entirely blinded him for a second. In that second Bill's right Fist shot out. brought up behind Ted's ear and sent him sprawling on the grass. iiDu you give up?' asked Bill. No. I don't give up. and I won't till I've beaten you:I cried Teci defiantly. getting to his feet. Didn't I tell you he was gritty? said Pete in an l-told- you-so tone. The Fight was resumed. Bill became more interested and more angry. and his hats shut out in all directions. but Ted dodged them with agility. After about half an hour. the on- 100kers could see that Bill was becoming tired. Ted watched his Chance. and when he saw Bill was not guarding with his left. he darted at Bill and gave him a telling blow uncier the jaw. Biilis head fell back he staggered, and almost fell. bllt saved himnelf by throwing out his arm and getting a Firm hold on Ted's neck. He swayed forward, and the two ClUtChed. Neither could hit the other. for each was hold- ing the other with hullvdog-hke tenacity. In vain the small boys tried to separate them. The fighters continued to stagv ger back and forth.

You know, Ted, tI'lal Eghting is contrary to my ruIeg,h Mr. Turner's voice continued It is very brutal and un- gcntlemanly. Wen. sir, I think it's gentlemanly when you're fighting for a girl. Bill said things about Victory I wouldn't stand for. He wouldn't take back what he said, so I fought him. Miranda and Susie looked enviously at Victory. and she blushed.

In the cooI gray calm of the day: And the sand was firm. and the sea was still, As though at rest after play. And I saw a sail boat sailing With a gentle. peaceful away, As free as life at the time of youth, As it sailed and sailed away. I stood on the: shore at noon-tide, And the wind was wild and strong And struggled backward and forward, And the waves sang a booming song. A single sail boat was battling. Rearing. and plunging headlong. Like man alone in Earth's whirlpool. As it sped ant! sped along. I stood on the shore in the evening. And the sky was black and drear, And the dark waves rolled in toward me And Filled me with awful fear. And I heard a sail feehly Happingh The sail boat was gliding near, As lonely and weak as the Spirit of Age As it glided I knew not where VELONA PILCH ER. ' I 4. mety-mnn I love to lie, when weary, on the sand, And watch the sun sink low o'er yon dark hill. Leaving the Heavens afiame with color, till A twilight shadow creeps o'er all the land. A change comes now, as if a signal from on High. And all the air a restful stillness: holds. And e'en the wild waves with song once bold. Now seem to croon an evening lullaby. And while I marvel at this wonder scene, I feel a calm steal o'er my troubled thought. A fairy spell, wrought by a hand unseen. And then I see, that 'tis the peace I sought.

IVY HARNETT, 'l5. morty-Thmey AUTHOR'S NOTkDuring the Boer war, the British gained control of all railroads in the Transvaal and Orange Free State, and used these railroads extensively in making shipments of provisions and troops into the war center. The Boers, however, dynamited nearly every train going into the interior, and the British, to prevent this, placeti all Boer prisoners of importance on an open car. under guard. ahead of the engine. to insure greater safety to their own men. The names of these prisoners were sent on lists to all Boer gen- erals. lt is upon this fact that the plot of this story is based. In the ziarkening shadows of the South African mounv taine, a. small party of Boers had encamped for the night by the side of a little stream, and over the dying ember: of the evening Fire, ate their scanty supper. Tired. after a hard day's ride over the mountains. they had come to this spot, as they did at the end of every two weeks. to receive Jou- bert's orders. They were a tattered little band. Their long beards, flowing about their Shoulders in the light evening breeze. only serveci to make their patched. worn out cloth- ing, seem more ragged than it really was. And yet, ragged as their clothes were. and small as their number was, these men were the source of all the great victories which Jou- bert had lately scored over the British. They were the terror of all the Englieh soldiers coming into the Transvaal, for they were the men whom Joubert had chosen to blow up all trains transporting troops or supplies to the British army in the re I Furl .V- It'mll'l publics. They were the ten silent. scowiing men, men whom severe losses during the war had driven to a frenzied hatred for the British. and who would stop at nothing to carry out Joubert s cruei commands. On a rock. a little apart from his men. eating a mouldy piece of bread. sat Cornelius Maritz. the commander of the little band. He was a man of tremendous stature. taller than any of his followers. His long black heard was Hecked with gray in several places. but heavy as it was, it could not con- ceal the scowiing face which had once been so kindly and smiling. Joubert could not have chosen a better man to command those men, for with that easy manner in which he disciplined them, was added a great love for his country, and a Hendish hatred for the soldier who wore the red coat. Suddenly the big man raised his head attentively and instinctively reached down for his rifle beside him. His keen ears had detected a faint patter of hoofs. far uver the hiils. long before his men heard the approach of the horseman. His scowl disappeared somewhat as the hoofvbeats came nearer. for only too well did he know that regular gallop oi the horse. Yes. Maritz had chosen the right man in Karel Dupre to carry the messages to him. anci he was proud of the friendship which had existed between him and the boy for many happy years. He smiled as the horseman shot over the little rise and with a merry Hallo! dashed down into the Camp. Here I am againt Oom Corneliusl he exclaimed as he swung easily from his horse and gripped his old friend's hand, and glad to see you again. That's talking like Karel Dupre. all right. replied Maritz warmly. returning the hearty handshake, anti mighty glad to see you 30 well, Karel. Joubert sent you with or- ders? Yesiu he hurriedly returned. Manci he told me to hustle. Said there was lots of work for you to do. Out of his worn out riding boot he chew a small piece of paper. which Matitz seized eageriyt and as he turned with it to the fire. the younger continued: just as i was getting ready to start. an Englishman with a white flag rode up and gave Jouhert a list of our men on the trains. Jouhert told me i might as well take it along to you. Here it is. Maritz stepped quickly to the fire and glanced for a mo- ment at his orders, and a gIace was enough to tell him the nature of them. His entire appearance changed instantiy. the old scowi returned to his face. and drawing his body erect, he hastily commanded his men to get everything ready iii'ortyv Ivivei for a hard nights ride. He then turned to Karel. who stood nearby. and motioned him to come to him. uAll right. Karel, he said, you can go back to Jou- bert. and tell him l will follow his orders. We have a hard night ride before us. Gooclnight and good luck. He waited not for the young fellow's reply. but carefully began to read the details of Joubert's orders. after having heaped some dry bushes on the coals of the Fire. While his men were busily engaged in getting the horses ready a short distance away. loubert's orders were hriefi They consisted of mereiy a command to blow up an armored train which was trans- porting reentorcements and provisions to the Tugela river, where Buller was awaiting their arrival to attack Joubert on the opposite side of the stream, after which he intended to march on to Ladysmith to raise the siege. It also contained a few minor matters which would keep them busy until he sent further instructions. The railroad was many miles away and the country over which they had to pass was mounr tainous and rocky, very dangerous ground to travel over in the darkness. Maritz crumpled the little paper and threw it into the tire, and then held the other paper before him. But why should he read it? His time was valuable. and he would not be inHuenced in his actions if he did know what countrymen of his were on the train which he had been ordered to blow up. And yet, as he was about to throw the crumpled sheet into the Ere, something seemed to withdraw his extended hand. anal growling at his weakness. he unfolded the sheet and ecanned the lung column of names. As his eye went rapidly over the list. it was caught by a name. a name which made him start and stagger. Did he see right? No it could not be! Piet Maritz, his only boy. How could he get on the train? No, it could never be true. And then suddenly the tIuth dawned upon him. Yes. there could be no mistake. His son must have been captured by the British. They knew they had gotten a good man to put on the train when they had caught his boy. Somehow it must. have become known that he was the son of the much feared train dynamiter. and they would not lose such a man by exchange or imprisonment. If his father only knew that his boy was on the train he would never follow Joubert's orders. All these thoughts passed through Maritz's brain. and with a groan he sank down on a rock. Not never could he carxy out Jouhert's ordezsy He Would not do it. Yet something stirred within him. He thought of the great ordeal which hung on his decision. He imagined that he saw before him Bullet with his victorious army crossing :P'ortyrSixl the TugeIa on to Ladysmith. Then drawing hi5 trembling body erect, with clinched flats he rose from his seat and Eercely muttered, As long as there's a d- red coat on that train, I'll blow it upf' Through the darkness, over the mountains. Maritz led his little band, staring blankly before him as his little pony clung Flrmly up the rocky inclines and down into the ravines To him the nightis ride was terrible. not that the dangerous slopes and loose racks had any terror for him, but now as he rode at the head of his little party, he thought again of the old happy days before the war. Again he saw the old plantaa tion for which he and his father had fought so clearly. Ah! those happy days could never return! He saw again the time when the war cry aroused even him. far away on his vast plantation. How he had thrilled with pride when he rode into the capital with his six tall sons beside himt the youngest of them only a boy of sixteen. And then the bloody war had started. Again he lived through the sorrowful period. Again he heard the story of the massacre of Eeland's Laagte. the battle of which England boasts: heard again the tale which sent his blood rushing through his veins. how the battle had been won by the British, and a white Hag waved over the trenches of the Boers. But that had not stopped the half drunken lancers. They had rushed down upon the Boers. piercing and stabbing them down with their lances. making no discrimination between dying at Fleeing. trampling them down in the dust under the heats of their horses. And among the dead his Five sons were found. His hatred for the British grew intense. but still he had some com- fort in life. He still had his wife and youngest son, and in the latter found great comfort in his sorrow. He saw again one of his servants stagger bleeding into camp, anci tell the second terrible atory. His farm had been taken by the Brit- ish. his home burned, orchards devastated, cattle killed. and his wife had died from exposure in the mountains. Little he remembered of the days which followed. He smelled only the powder smoke about him, was only intent to reach the men who wore the red coats, and kill. His fiendish hatred. hi5 daring and skill had been noticed by Joubert, This was just the man who was needed, this man who was willing to ride through hell Fire to reach an Englishman. to command his little dynamiting squad. All night, without a stop, the ride over the mountains continued. all night long the old man seemed to be able to think of but one thing, and as he thought. his moods changed. At one time he was determined to carry out Joubertis orders. then again his love overcame his sense of duty and right. and anH 3' - HOV PM he thought himself incapable of doing the deed, which would without a doubt kill his son. And so, as the sun rose over the mountains. tinting the clouds ruby red, casting its glory over the rocky plateaus. and the mountain birds sang in the thorn trees. the darkest battle Maritz had ever fought was raging within him. Early in the morning the little party halted for a hurried breakfast. took a good supply of dynamite and all tools needed by them to wreak the train, out of a cave where Maritz had stored his high explosives. and then set off again to the railruad. It was but a few hours later that the party dismounted to lay the blasts which would cause the destruc- tion of the armored train. There were three large blasts laid about forty yards apart, at a sharp curve in the road. These blants were then connected with each other by wires which in turn were attached to powerful batteries. It was but a short time before the work was done and Maritz with his men hid behind the immense rocks which lay beside the road, The party locked at the curve where the blasts had been placed. They could not have been in better position to cause the ter- rihle destructive work for which they had been placed there. Maritz reclined against a rock, the battery box on his lap, a little aside from his men. Many times he looked Hxa edly on the distant mountains from which the tracks ledt watching for the First black thread of smoke which would warn him of the apprbaching train. As yet he was undeu cided what to do. Now nothing couid stop him to carry out his duty, then again his soul cried out against the action which would inevitably cause the death of his only son. the only person on earth he had any real interest in, the only one for whom he wanted to live. A curi of dark smoke shot over the far away moun- tains, and slowly in the distance the armored train drew out of the rocks. It would take many minute; perhaps half an hour, before the train would reach the place where the blasts had been laid, yet the man who had always been so cool under similar instancest trembled. And still he was unde- cided, and the train moved forward. On. an, it came. slowly but surely until men could be distinguished on the open car ahead of the engine. Closer it came. It was but a mile away. a half, a quarter, a hundred yards, and the keen vision of the father could recognize the clear cut figure of his son among his countrymen. His blood kindled as he saw the red coats of the guards, yet he thought it impossible to do what he had set out to do. No. he could never kill his bny. even it Bule ler should cross the Tugela and march on to Ladysmith. The train had reached the first hlaat and passed over. the open tForty-Eighn car was over the second and Iapitily approaching the third. Maritz's hand trembled over the button, but he could not give that little touch which would explocie the blasts. And then came the vision whirling before him. He saw his son look down upon him as a coward. a man not willing to do his duty to his country or to make a sacrifice. Maritz had reach- ed his final decision. The train was over the third and last blastt for a second his finger trembled over the button, then pressed it. Through the smoke of the explosion amid the falling rocks and debris of the wreck, Maritz rushed to the train. About him lay young English soldiers dying and groaning. men who had answered the call for unjust cause, but he saw them not, he must reach but one place. the side of his son. Young Maritz looked into the tearful face of his father. It was only too plain to the old man that there was no hope for his sons life: nearly every bone in his body had been broken and hit: head was fearfully cut. Father, he exclaimed in a weak voice. Uis it really you?H iiCan't you see, boyPl' asked the old man tenderly. uIt is For a moment neither spoke, and then the son asked faintly: Father. did you know I was on that train? With all the intense grief of his soul in his eyes. the old man looked at his son. then only bowed his head and nodded. For a moment the young man's face grew painful. Then his face brightened. The man who could make such a sacrifice to his country was a hero. He grasped the hardened hand tenderly in his own, then gasped: If you hadn't. Father, I would have hated you all my life. W. TE GROEN. 14. lFurty-Ninei -.': -...:.I.-.,-z.; :Ae A ;s'm I :- Migs was tired of the daily routine of life and of 30, ciety in general. ,ver since he could remember he had been trying to act like a gentleman This was a dimcult mate ter because he was only a gorilla. When very small. he had been bought from a zoo by the well known animal trainer. Warren Hardy, and he was now over Five and a half feet tall, Each morning walking into the breakfast room dressed in a man's suit with collar and tie. he seated himself at the table and ate as a well mannered person should. Several hours after this, Hardy was accustomed to spend in training him. reviewing his old tricks and teaching him new ones. His noon meal was eaten in the back yard where. I fear. he forgot the good manners practiced in the morning. During the afternoon, he was tied to a long iron chain in the park surrounding the house. He knew every tree with, in radius of his chain but he wanted his freedom. To climb down and up the trees swinging from one to another without feeling the weight of the chain on his foot was his instinctive longing. At night the chain was removed and he was locked in the harm He had made two attempts to escape from the yard at noon. but the groom had seen him and had summoned his master. HMigs. come here! called Hardy in a calm, deliberate tone. and when his master spoke like that. Migs always obeyed. H-Wftgi Hardy was a stalwart man with thick gray hair and penetrating black eyes deeply set under heavy leWS. He had specialized in science at Harvard and then devoted him- self to the training of animals. Having studied what others had written concerning the disciplining of animals. and adding to it his own ideas, he had become famous for his control over them. He ha3 never been known to grow angry with or to strike his pets. They seemed to realize the mighty strength of the will power of their master and never failed to respond to his command. Recently he had been observing the habits and intelligence of monkeys, preparatory to writing a small book on the evolution of man. and Migs had been the sub- ject of his investigations. The night after his second attempt to escape. he was locked in a small unused mom with a barred window near the ceiling. As he lay on his bed of straw. he noticed the mooniighl coming from the winciow. He had never seen one like this and determined to investigate. He jumped quickly and catching hoid of the sill with one hand. used the other to tug at the iron her. He jerked repeatedly but it would not give way. Finally he grew angry and gave one mighty pull, using his strength to its limit. The bar loosened. he drew himself up and was able to squeeze through. He looked down into a garden. Near the opening grew 3 tree into which he swung. After listening a few minutes he scrambled cau- tiously to the ground and ran swiftiy across the yard to the fence. In a very short time he was hurrying down the de- serted road. It was a cool, summer evening. On each side of the road fireflies were glistening among the dusky bushes. There was no sound except the cheerful crickets and the creaking frogs. as he passed through the wooded lake district. At times he would take long drinks of water and then continue his Highl. About four o'clock he grew hungry and looked about him for food and in hiding place. On the right side of the road were fruit trees with ripening corn between the rows. On the left side was a grove of great oak trees surrounded by an undergrowth of small bushes and wild crab apple trees. About their trunks and across the ground Ian vines of poison oak and ivy. Dandelions grew at the side of the road. Gray and white water snakes glided among the shrubs. This, Migs decided. would be his retreat. He went into the field and gathered all he couid cany of the corn and cherxies. After eating his breakfast. he climbed a tall tree and fell asleep. When he awoke. he jumped down from the tree and went through the narrow grove which he found bordered on u-ii rnnnnm a lake. Farther down the share were two summer cottages, separated by trees. For three days Migs lived in the grove, frolicking among the trees, stealing across the road for his food and to the lake for water. Having been used to the society of people all his life, he began to grow lonesome On the morning of the fourth day. as he was down by the lake. he noticed a man and woman row From the pier before the nearer cottage. He started for the house, keeping near the edge of the woods. Slipping behind a vine covered shed at the back of the house. he looked about In a few minutes he walked up to the door and after turning the knob. entered. In this country no one kept cioors locked. He was in a tiny, neat kitchen A fire in the stove gave evidences of cooking. Several pies and a recently iced chocolate cake stood on the table cooling. The cake was Migsi object of attention as it had been one of his favorite dishes at his mean teris table. He quickly grabbed it and ran for the trees, where he devoured hi5 treat. When Mr. and Mrs. Warner returned from their trip across the lake, they were somewhat puzzled at the npen door. Mrs. Warner was sure she hadn't left it open and so was her husband. Then she saw that her cake was gone. uJohn, somebody has been here and has taken the First cake 1 have baked for you since we were married, and the tittle lady was almost in team. She didn't tell how many sticky messes had found their way into the lake that morning before she had accumplished her success. Hershusband comd forted her and assured her she could make a much better one. They had lately returned from their three months of traveling, following their wedding. and were resting and pre- paring for the winter's gayety in the city. I should just like to catch that thief. I wonder who he can be. said Mr. Warner after looking through the rooms to he sure nothing else was missing. He can't he very bad or he would have taken my money. answered Mrs, Warner. We'll watch for him.' declared her husband, in the meantimeV Miga was preparing to go on another exploring expedition to the farther cottage. He did not go on the ground this time but swtmg from tree to tree. This house was much larger than the first and stood in a clear- ing. No one was in sight and all was still. He swung from the tree to the side porch. A French window opened from this by which he entered the house He was in what ap peared to be a boy's bedroom. A boy's cap lay on the chair, Fishing rods and tennis rackets were arranged on the wall, cFiftyKTwot Migs handled these but his attention was drawn to a collar and red tie lying on the dresser. He fastened the collar on by looping the tie about his neck. He was delighted with the effect and started back to his home just as a boat was fastened to the landing before the house. Two ladies and two gentlemen stepped out. They were the Seymours. mother and father, with their son and daughter, who were spending a few weeks at the lake. Tom went into his room and called out in a few rno- mentsi Mom. there's been someone in my room. The win- dow's open and my rods are out of placeeand. oh, my new tie is gone, and my collar. too. Come here! Why. Tom. are you sure. asked his suxprised mother. rushing in. Positive of it. I didn't have my things like that. and he glanced at the disarranged articles. 1 don't care about my collar and tie, but why in the dickens didn't he take my gold watch that was there on the dresser? He is a smart thief. I must say? They were greatly perplexed over the mysterious roh- ber and Catherine. the sister, said, I'm going over to Mrs. Warneris. Perhaps they have seen him. She knocked excitedly at her neighbor's door and Mrs. Warner appeared. Oh. Mrs. Warner. have you seen any suspicious char- acter? Somebody has entered our house and has taken only a collar and tie. We think it must he a mad man. l'lsnlt that odd. No, I haven't seen anybody, but a chock slate cake of mine has also disappeared, answered Mrs. Warner. My husband says he will come again if he is hungry. lf he does. we must all be ready to capture him. Won't you come in? l was so interested I forgot to ask youtu No, thank you, said Catherine, I must hurry hack. Call us if you see him and we will come over, and she start- ed hack. Several times Migs entered the home of the Warners. but always in their absence. He would take anything that pleased his fancy from a button hook to a banana. but never anything of great value. The Warmers had stayed at home for two ciays. hoping to see the thief. but he had not appeared. Thursday after- noon they rowed to the village. Mr. Warner asked for their mail and received two letters. One of these he handed to his wife. Oh. it's From Warren, she said and opened it. john. just listen to this. and she read disgustedly. 'I am very much interested in your account of the mySd tFj ity- Th reel terious robber. l think that he is a friend of mine.

Helll tell us what he means when he arriveSewhy. it's today. We'll have to wait until train time, which is only an hour. said her husband, consulting his watch. Migs had watchecl their tfeparture and took advantage of the opportunity. He entered the house this time by teare ing away the screen before an open window, as the door was locked. He walked around the room but seeing nothing of interest. opened a door which led into a clothes closet. He pulled clown the dresses and suits. until he came to Mr. War- ner's dress suit which he easily put on. It was much too large but he was satisfied and paraded before the mirror. Just as he was beginning to grow tired of thist he heard the front door open and without stopping to undress. he climbed noisily out of the window and headed foxr the back of the shed. Mrs. Warner had been questioning her brother but he only said. uWlait until we catch him. She preceded the gen- tlemen into the house. They were interrupted by a scream from her. She rushed toward them crying. Hjohn. Warren. I saw him! Quick. call the Seymours and follow. I saw his coat tails just as he ran around the shed. Hurry, oh. hurrylH The men came on the run and followed in the thiefs path as they heard the snapping of the stick: as he ran among the treeai He's gone up a tree, called Tom, as he hrandished the revolver he had grabbed in haste. Mr. Seymour had a poker and the other two men had a hue and an axe. The frightened ladies stood hack of the men. On account of the low. thick bushes it was difficult to get nearer than Elteen feet to the oak up which the robber had climbed. As they stood there they could hear a disturbance among the branches but could not see the person because of the foliage and the shadows cast by nearby trees. Suddenly, as they stood there. uncertain what to do, the thief dropped to the ground. Surprise, consternation, won- der and relief, were on every face. Torn ejaculated, Well. I'll be hornswaggled! Coming towards them was the queerest Elgure imagi- nable, holding out a hairy hand. It was Migs. wearing an ill-Etting dress suit with a dirty collar and ragged red tie. tFil'ly- lt'uun which had slipped under one ear. He approached Mrs. War- ner's brother. How do you do, Migs. Hardy spoke gravely as he shook the furry hand. Are you ready to come home with me. now? I have been looking a long time for yum.n The others were too astonished to speak. Mrs. Warner finally said, So that is your friend. I should have remem- bered your hobby. LAURA LEE. '15. The Bluebird lSecond Prize Lower Class Serious PoemJ Ah, bluebird, art than ever happy?

EFlfcyAII'ivcl MANAGING EPHRAM Uncle Ephram lit his old cob pipe with a coal, which he lifted from the hearth, and smoked unperturbed, as he re- clined in his Uld wicker chair. Weird shadows played and danced on the rough, unpapered walls of his hut. The Fire- place was filled with green logs. which burned with a suave uncertainty, and hissed and spluttered whenever the sap boiled out. A skillet and coffee pot sat on the hearth. Uncle Ephram had dined sumptuously that night. What tastes bet- ter than rich coEee, fried bacon. crisp, brown toast. and black molasses? No French chef can prepare a meal that will vie with it. Now that his dinner was finished. Uncle Ephram, as was his habit. indulged in his evening smoke. Surrolmded by only the harest necessities and with such a scant supply of food in his larder that tomorrow's meals seemed more like a dream than a reality yet he was not unhappy, He was an optimist. A complacent smile crept over his wizened old face and he chuckled inwardly. The cold wind, the lack of food, and all woridly things were out of his mind. Before he realized it. he had Fallen asleep. Time crept by. but still he slept. undisturbed. At a late hour the door gradually opened and Sam, his worthless, good- fotvnothing son. stole quietly in. Uncle Ephram was awake in a minute.

We meet them on the: common way. They pass and give no sign. The heroes that have lost the day, The failures half divine. Ranged in a quiet place, we see Their mighty ranks contain Figures too great for victory Hearts too unspoiled for gain Here are eartHs splendid failures come From the glorious foughten Fields; Some bear the wounds of combat, some Are prone upon their shields. To us, that still do battle here, If we in aughl prevail, Grant. God, a triumph not too clear Or strength like theirs. to fail. WILLIAM TE CROEN.

We, the Class of One Thousand Nine Hundred and Four- teen, nearing the end of the short time allotted to us in Long Beach High School, do assert and afhrm that this is our one and onty Will and Testament. To the Junior class. our biggest rivals for interclass honors, who will soon hold our honored poeitionaV we sora rowfully bequeath our cherished seals in the assembly, and with them our Spellers with these words, Study your Spell' ing carefully. for Pride goeth before a Fall. To those remaining. we leave a building sacred with memories of happy times; a faculty kinder for having sufw fared with us; a wonderful reputation for clean and bountiful spirit: and the trophies that spirit has won for us. tSignedt CLASS OF FOURTEEN. A Senior class never had the privilege of claiming two more devoted or beloved class teachers than the class of Nineteen Fourteen Miss Paine anni Miss Johnson have ever been ready to help and guide us, giving unselhshly of their time and thought to aid us to win success. Our inspirav tion to higher and better deeds and to a cleaner class spirit, whether in victory or defeat. they have always been. If. in any way we have achieved such an aim, the honor is due to these, our faithful guardians, to whom we. as Seniors. can never sufficiently express our deepfelt gratitude and appreci- ation, but simply state this. our parting wish: that Life may bring her best to them. tElgmy-Seveni Q23 1!!

We First showed our good judgment by choosing Hazel Midniough For our president. Miss Lodwick, our standv by since our youthful days. Miss Pearson, a late: acquisition. and far famed coach Elliott. have helped us through many difficulties as class teachers. Football claimed our First attention. The Seniors thought that they had the championship. but they discovered, much to their sorrow. that they could not heat the Juniors. Six of our number macle the first teameWark, renowned quarter- back; Ceddes. guard; Magee, end; Marshall, right half and captain; Curry. tackle: and Williams, center. In water polo, we were represented by six members; in basketball. five of our number earned their L's: and four boys represent us in baseball. We won the inter-class championn ship in each of these activities except the last. The Juniors have always done well in track. We are proud to claim among our number the famous sprinter. Wark. In the inter-Class track meet we won second place. the Seniors defeating us by one point. Debate has always been one of our specialties. This year we wan the intereclass debating cup for the third time. Our representatives in interschulastic debate are Vivian Kraus, Who Won fame when Ehe Was a Freabman; Roland Whealton. this yaarls debating manager; Ray lredell. and Fretierick Pike. Let no one imagine that this illustrious class has neglect ed the social side of school life. Near Christmas time we re- turned to Babyland for one evening. We had a splendid time and were well taken care of by our colored nurses, the class teachers. After the intereclass track meet. all hints of nnfriendlineas between the two upper classes were completely removed by the feed which the Junior girls gave to the junio. and Senior track teams. Everyone is looking forward to the Junior-Senior reception, which promises to be a grand success. The class play, Quality Street, will be given some time this spring. It is a comedy by J. M. Barrie, and judging from the talent displayed in the Junior dramatic classest it will be well worth while. We feel that as a class we can be justly proud of the record we have made: proud that so many have proved them- selves strong in various activities; proud that we have been able to contribute our share toward the glory of Long Beach High School.

Our Sixteen class cannot reasonably feel proud of our athletic achievement during the past year. While, as a class. We could have done much worse, the fact remains that there was considerable room for doing better. In social and literary activities we are Equal to any class in the school. The Senate, our illustrious organization of youthful statesmen. was siow in starting. but is now speeding along a clear track under a full head of steam. Our class party in November was the crowning nuccess of the year. ow- ing to the untiring efforts of the social committee. In athletics. we met defeat but once at the hands of the Freshman. After their baseball stars had so rudely and in- considerately smothered our aspirations for diamond fame, the gallery became too small to hold all of the newly dignified children of glory at the assemblies. it remained for the girls of our class to uphold the Red and White on the field of basketball. Even the infallible fair ones of the Senior class were outplayed by our clever team, thereby making the Sophomores the inter-claas champions. For all details of our encounters with the marvelous, but not invincible Juniors, we beg to refer the reader to the Junior section. Deduct Bfty per cent from their own praises, as it is merely Southern Calit fumia exaggeration. in water polo the Sophomores produced individual players second to none. In football our class was well represented in both the first and second teams. Perhaps, as a class, we cannot be proud of our past record, but Some: falls are means. the happier to arise. Let it be so with us duxing the year to comet We should not deem ourselves predestined to doom or defeat. but should go forth determined to strive fairly and lo the best of our efforts. Under those conditions, if ever we meet defeat. let us remember that it is no disgrace for an honorable class to lose. rNinl-lyr Highu A Freshie On the Soph: I am a little Freshie.

Mrlililiu' , - .4 HI'JI'I,AII MUthN Mlnc Hundred Thrutg Class of '17 As soon as the youthful president of the Freshman claw. Howard Deems, made his debut in the diplomatic and queeth ing circles. the rise of the class was indeed noticeable and ale though the president was a mere 93 with no High School ex- perience he proved himself capable of handling the class in a masterly fashion. Not long after the beginning of the term a jollyiup was held in the girls' gymnasium for the purpose of getting the members of the class acquainted. The gymnasium was pack- ed to its fuil capacity. Games were played, white apples and candy were served as refreshments, The First class party was held not long after the jolly-up and was equally successful. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated and the evening was spent with much fun. Rew freshmenta were served in the cafeteria. Although the class has not been as successful in athletics as it might have been, it has shown up well for the first year, Contrary to the iidopc on the intereclass track meet, four PreahmEn scored a place in their evenlsy The class also con- tributed a half miler to the Era: team. In baseball it defeated the Sophomores without any apparent difficulty. the game being played in a very sports- man-like manner. Three of the first team baseball men are Freshmen and are playing at their diEerent positions like veterans. In the Novice track meet, second place went over to the class of 'l 7. A Freshman also won second in the individual score contest. In the meet with San Pedro High School's First team one of our track men won both the century and the 220- yard dashes. while other members of our class scored points for Long Beach in other events. In debate the Freshman debaters realized the fallacy of trying to beat the invincible Juniors. so humored the Sopho- mores with victory. in order that they in turn might be de tealed by the Juniors. In scholarship the class record was nothing short of amazing. considering the fact that the class is the largest in school and the iarger part of them have not yet accustomed themselves to high school life. Next year our class should stand the highest in scholarship record. The victories were scarce and far apart. but the class apiril did not die. The Freshmen have shown their school spirit as well as class spirit by turning out in great numbers at every game and student body Entertainment. A class of our size and spirit should do things that will be remembered by the classes that follow us. RICHARD MILLAR.

Davis This year the PostvCraduate class has been a more im- portant factor in school life and social activities than ever be: fore. The members of this Class aie proud to hold a diploma from Long Beach High School and we are more than glad to avail ourselves of the opportunities offered to take post graduate work. In accordance with a precedent established several years ago, Alumni Day was held the Hrst Friday in January. We were happy to welcome our classmates and friends of years before. during the day. In the evening it was our pleasure to entertain them with a play. The Rose of Plymouth Town, which was put on by the senior dramaties class under the auspices of the P. C. class. The proceeds, about one hun- dred dollars, will be divided. Part will be given to the Caeruiea and part will be used as the P. G. share when the Alumni entertain the Senior class of l9l4 commencement week. The Caeiulea staff was kind enough to allow us the Jan- uary issue of La Briea. which proved to be a splendid edition. To boost the sale. a stunt was put on in assembly. Velona Pitcher. Dave Smith, Newell Steams. and Louise Spaulding were transformed into nodding puppies and sang a catchy' song entitled HBuy a La Brisa Now. 50 popular was this song that even now echoes of it. are heard frequently in the halls. The class has had several enjoyable parties. On October twentyrthircl Earl and Howard Weller opened their attractive home to us. Miss Margaret Swingle. who was with us only the first semester. pvoved herself a charming hostess at her home on Signal Hill, November nineteenth. Miss Kate Davis also entertained the class, Some short plays were given and much meniment prevailed Later in the spring. a beach party took place. All the joys of out-door life, such as a wienie roast and marshmallow toast over an open campfire. were enjoyed. mm: Elnudrml Fiw; ln the future our paths will lead us in different direc- tions. Some will go to college next year; others will start in the line of occupation they have chosen for their life work, to attain the heights of sucuess. we hope The Weller brothers are contemplating a trip abroad. Dwight McFadyen will en- ter one of the northern colleges and Harry BuEum will he a student at Stanford Margaret Swingle is already enrolled as a Stanford freshman. Lecile Jones and Louise Spaulcling expect to have a trip east this summer and the latter will continue her musical course in some college next fall. Several others will enter college but have not as yet decided which university they will attend. That our Alma Mater may ever be vigorous in every thing she undertake; whether it be athletics or literary work, is the highest wish of the Poat-Graduate class of 19 l 4. LOUISE SPAULDING. Junior College of Long Beach High School. Long Beach High School for the last four or five years has had a PasteGraduate class and a few students who have taken Junior College work. This year the junior College idea has spread rapidly all over the state and especially in Lon Ane geles county, ln all the Log Angelea schools the Junior College students take a very active part in all echool activitiesl both in government and athletics. Besides being the leaders in their own school they have formed an athletic union for Junior Colleges in this county. Long Beach was invited to enter, but because of the small number in the class this year we were unable to do so. But next year, since all the students have at last realized the importance of the Junior College, Long Beach will have a larger class composed of such people, who will be worthy to carry Long Beach's honor and reputa- tion in junior College circles.

Y HAIU'I'IY JUIIN HALHENT EDITORIAL With the commencement number, Caerulea makes its First appearance this year. Owing to the monthly publication of La Brisa, Caerulea has assumed a somewhat different char acteI than heretofore. It must now be essentially a year book, and the departments necessarily summaries of what has already been published in La Brisa. The problems ine volved in putting out a live upvto-date monthly, and an Anr nual. which should be carefuliy and slowly worked out throughout the entire year, are so entirely diHerent that it has been somewhat difficult to combine the work of both under one staff. This has been done only by the loyal support of the students as a whole. They have come to realize that they are responsible not only for the Financial success of the paper but also for its literary perfection. This realization and the stimulated interest in the paper have helped more than anything else in the Caerulea and La Brisa work of this year. The Exchange Department has been made to include more this year than formerly The Exchange Editor has not only had charge of the criticism and acknowledgement of all the papers on our long exehange list, but has kept care: ful note of any ideas in other papers which might be helpful to the stafti As the Annual is not exchanged, that depart ment has been entirely omitted from this issue. but the sug- gestions gained for other departments have made the Ex- change Department well worth while. To the English teachers who have given so generously of their time to act as judges of the stories and poems for this am nual, t0 the teachers of the typewriting department who help- ed in organizing the typing staff. to Miss Jones and Mr. Newcomh. who have advised the art editors and assigned an- nual work as class problems, and to our adVErtiaera, we wish to express our most sincere thanks. Hint: Ilumlml Ti-ui The typing staff, with Herbert Edwards as chairman, has proved very helpful in preparing copy for the printer. much work being done for the Annual as well as for La Brisa. The Greater Student Body Did you ever stop to think how many people are benea fited by our student body? If you ever have. I think that you will agree when I say that not over lworthirds of our students receive any material good from this organization. Some hold that it is not the fault of the student body but of the student. while others believe that it is the fault of the student body. However, when we analyze the case carefully we find the fault about equally divided. In the First place, the student bmiy is run by officers who are elected by the students and whose business it is to make their ofhces pay. with no regard for the outsider. The of- Ecers are not elected to make the student body a benefit, but to make it a monEylmaking organization. This. you say, is what our student body is for. We must. you say. keep the school on a Firm Financial basise Yes. you are right. and yet you do not meet the pIoposition squarely. We must keep our school on a him hnancial footing. but when we put monEy before beneflt lo the other fellow we are approach- ing the heathen state of mind and method. To he sure, we End the student who does not care to enter into active school life. Of course there are a great many of these. but if we make our student body resemble one great. big family where everyone is striving to help the one next to him, instead of making it a great, heartless ma- chine to grind out money, we shall settle this problem and become a really successful school. LE ROY KING. '15. Ithn- Hundn-rl HIIW'PHJ ATHLETICS Athletics is always the life of any school. Where there is a splendid showing and a large number of activities there is also a fine broad school spirit: and on the other hand. where there is a lack of athletics there is a corresponding db pression and lack of school life. This is not an article cle- voted to the why and wherefore of athletics. however. be- cause Mr. Burcham and all the other great men of the land unite in saying that athletics are fundamentally requisite and essential in the makeup of a modem, successful high schooi which makes any pretense at having a life. Did you ever stop to consider what would result if this high school abolished athletics? A blow like that would be the figurative death of the school, and it is beyond human imagination to think of such a condition prevailing. You dismiss the thought immediately from your mind as tyran- nical, and by so doing you unconsciously admit the really great part which athletics plays. Students, you are badly spoiled! Regarding athletics you are living in luxury. You have been naturally spoiled by the pleasant continuance of every kind of sport. We have many teams and all well provided for. We have as many various kinds of teams as there are recognized activities. and you are in an excellent position to pick and choose. We have at all time: had high standings in each and every recog- nized high school activity. and to a certain degree we are resting upon laurels gained by the excellence of former learns. But we must consider the Future We pride ourselves upon our athletes and we sit back in the assemblies with a smug. seif-satisHed look as we glance at the banners which represent so much work. We say, I knew we would win this minor activity. but me For the bigger gameB.H and with this seiash spirit we pat ourselves on the back for helping to win i'this championship. when, in truth we have never attended a sin- gle game. We must not allow ourselves to be so spoiled. Each activity is deserving of great consideration and we are in- clined to sit back and depend upon the Old Reliables. More students should turn out next year for each activity, and with a strong spirit of clean ambition. build up such a splendid array of teams and managers and captainst as we can honestly be: proud of now. Boost the teams. turn out and try for the teams. You don't know whether you can make it, of course, but it's a good chance you can.

Anything is warmly appreciated by the hardiworking managers. Remember that the lively and active spirit in school is dependent upon the quality of the teams; and that. on the contrary, the quality of athletes and teams is dependent upon the active working interest with which the school supports these teams. and next year you win do the impossibleewin every championship. JOHN HALBERT. il4. Where Next ? At a certain meeting of the Senior class, a slip of paper was passed about among the students. it was headed: Where Next? and upon it each classman was. told to write his plans for the coming year. How forcefully these words must have struck some of those present. Where next? What next? With many it must have been a pure case of quien aabe? For four short years we glide through this institution with this question merely an a sort of under current. never showing its true colors; but when we stand on the threshold, sheepskin in hand, facing stern reality and life itself. we must meet this problem squarely face to face. On one hand, for many this question is made a mere nonentity by parents, who hnancially able and otherwise willing, have pre-ordained their children's paths to lead to a higher education. 0n the other hand, stands the fellow by force of circumstance denied further parental support, feel- ing that demand for the lucre with which to purchase the very bread of physical life; but endowed with an intellectual appetite for further satisfaction in the higher branches. which has been stimulated by the sauce of his high school smatter- ing. He feels the ca for the ncomplete life. but hesitates. Uncertainty and doubt point to other wathays that lead to immediate employment and thus eliminate the doubt atd tendant upnn self-aupport at college. Indeed it is a hard Fight and a problem difficult of soivd ing; but hundreds before us have met it and solved it one way or the other. All must be guided by that inner voice. Carlyle says: A man must be sufficient for himseif; and The only true happiness of a man, that of clear decided activity. is in the when for which. by nature and circum' stances, he has been fitted and appointed. RAYMOND BRITE, 'l4. 0'th Hundred Thirtm'vn From the End Spring New Beginnings Another successful school year has been brought to an end, Next year the members of the class of ' l4 will he scatv tered. They will have ended their high school life, and their minds will be occupied with new opportunities and new be- ginnings. The student body omcers have ended their term of administration. The many victories and conquests record- ed elsewhere in this book bear witness to the fact that their labors have not been in vain. Student body machinery which was, at the First of the year, an innovation. is now a common- place; Many plans have been put into action For the corn- fort and pleasure of the students. But progress must not end with the ending year. it may be truly said that the vic- tories of the future are to he built on the failures and suc- cesses of the past.

Dorothy Stephens entered the University of Nebraska as a freshman and expects to stay her four years in that school. Ed Pawson is studying law at the U. S. C. Law School. Among the old guard present at a recent meet were Tommy Davis, Snort Long, Peter Wallingtord Lenz and General Jerry Cupid Counts, U. S. A. Counts is down from the University of California. having secured the appoint- ment to West Point some time ago. The Alumni Association held a meeting at the home of Dorothy Greshame Very little was accomplished, owing to the scarcity of attendance. A committee was appointed to nominate new officers for the new year l914. The next meet- ing was held on Alumni Day at the High School. A report of the committee was heard anti oHicers were elected. The plans for the entertainment of the Seniors during commencement week are now completed. The affair is to be a surprise. and therefore the. plans will not be made public. College Record: Good Following its custom of keeping schools in touch with mm lllmull'ml Twang the people they send during the First year of college life, Pomona sent to Principal Burcham transcripts of grades made by Freshmen from the Long Beach School. They are Harold Crowe. Kelly Reid. Glen and George Green. All have done excellent work. as shown by the re- port cards. and special mention is made of the work of Harold mee, who received AA grades in two of his studies, the let- ter saying that he haul. placed himself on high honor list for both general and departmental honors. The work of Frances Yeomans, Edna Lochridge and Ralph Cornell. advanced stucients from this city, was also complimentedl The letter to Principal Burcham said that they are students any school should be proud of and that Po, mona hopes to have many more like them. Miss Lochridge has been chosen by the faculty to repre- sent her class on the commencement program. Seniors, you will shortly become eligihle to member ship of the Alumni Association. Don't let this chance slip by. Join the association and take an active interest in it. if you are fortunate enough to go away to college, do not sever your connections with the happiest years of your life. Be- come loyal Alumni. so that you will always feel an interest in Long Beach High. Feel as though you were really due to attend Alumni Day. and change for that one day into a good old high school booster. boosting for Long Beach High. Those of you who will take Junior College work. and there will probably be many. feel proud of the fact that you are P. G.'s. helping to make the Junior College the success it deserves. Belong to the Alumni Assodation and never for- get that you are trusted with the reputation and honor of the Alumni by all of those who have graduated from this school. It remains with you to bring the Alumni and the students to- gether with that feeling of good will which now makes the Alumni and students so helpful to each other. Perhaps many Seniors will immediately take up their life's work. You should join the Alumni Association, for there you will find your old friends who will always be will- ing to recount old experiences or give any help or encourage- ment you might need. if you are in a position to do it, take an active interest in the Alumni Association, 50 that it may be an organization where friends may meet friends with that indehnable fraternal spirit of the Long Beach High School.

He has had charge of all the debates, all the orav torical contests that have been held this year. He has cer- tainly worked hard to develop literary ability in the lower classes so the school will not lack debaters and orators in the years to come. Charles Green Charles Dudley is our Commissioner of Public Welfare and Safety. His rlepartment covers too many branches to enumerate here. Charles and his 6eputies kept the school in good order and have been a strong factor in the success of our student assemblies Dean Gardiner Dean is in charge of the school's Finances. Picking up anuther's books is not a pleasant thing to clo. but Dean hacf to do this because he became Commissioner about the middle of the year. He has also clone much to promote the full sus- taining membership of the school. Through his eEorts the school contains more full sustaining members this semester than ever before since this plan was inaugurated. Raymond Walker Ray is Commissioner of Entertainment this year and many have been the entertainments he has given us in the assembly. He knows the kinds that please and gets them. Surely none will ever forget the concert the German band gave us. the lecture by Major Schoof, the songs by the cold cred male quartette, nor the ventriloquist, It will be pretty hard to find some one to full Ray's shoes next year and fit them as well as Ray has clone. Newell Steam: Newell is cur Athletic Commissioner, and he certainly is a good one. He has brought athletics to a high standard this year. He must have been watching all his past years in this school for competent managers for each kind of athletics, for he surely has picked out a Fine lot this year. Besides being at the head of all athletics, he has gone out with the different managers and performed manual labor in the inter- est of his department. cum Jimnlrwl 'Fm-nly- Foul'l CHARLES Gui .

This organization and the duties it can perform through its officer: are things to be proud of. The students seem to appreciate this as a great majority of them belong to the organization and help to support it and its activities. As you all know. this organization is under the com- mission plan of governmentt this being the second year under that plan. So far, it has proved a great success. having kept all the oId-time spirit in a much lalger school. as we all increasEng the range of student body activities, The :nly elected officials are the Five Commissioners representing the departments of finance, literary activities, public welfare and safety. entertainment. and athletics. Each of these Commissioners has entire charge of his department and may appoint as many asaiatants as he needs. subject to the approval of the entire Commission, 50 you may easily see that the activities of the school are governed by the students through their representatives in office. As this is a privilege. let us heat it as such and help the Commieaioncrs in the years to come no that the student; will always have a part in the government of the activities of the Long Beach Polytechnic High School.

We have half such a splendid corps of officers that it would have been impossible for the House to have been anything else. A great many interesting and instructive meetings have been helc! and the enrollment exceeds that of previous years. Speaker McFadyen has given unaparingly of his time and effort and it is to his patience and nevcr-say die en- thusiasm that the House stands indebted for the place that it holds in the eyes of the students. But one more meeting re- mains and that is the one for election of officers for next year. Let us hope that the House will be as fortunate in its seleCe tion of officers for next year as it was for this. The Sennle This is the FITSt year of the Senate and its work has been a revelation to all. The initiative shown by the Sophomore boys who promoted the Senate and made it possible by hard work. bids well for the success of Long Beach High School in the years to come. It is hard to start a literary society and make it a success the firat year. especially if all the members are lower classmen.

A. has successfully passed its First year of existence and can now be classed among our permanent organizations. The branch was or- ganized last year by Frances Howe. '13, for the purpose of bringing all the High School girls together and providing a medium through whiah the strange and lonely girls might become acquainted. That its purpose has been fulfilled has been proven by the many giris who have attested that their days of hcmeaickneas soon vanished when they joined the branch or attended any of its jolly-upa. The meetings pre- ceded by supper have been held biweekly in the branch rooms at the association building. The girls entertained the Y. M. C. A. boy: early in the year. and the boys returned the compliment several weeks later. The branch was also hostess to the incoming Freshmen of both semesters. In addition to the purely social events. the girls have a swimming club. and two camp fire circles. The work of the branch wan carried on under the leader- ship of Mabel Martin.

We have been able to keep more closely in touch with the live news of the day in our monthly editions than was the previous case when but a tri-annuai Caerulea was published. Through the Timely Topic section of La Briaa we have endeavored to serve only the livest news, steaming hot from the printer's press; but now in putting out our I914 Annuai. we find quite a problem in the composition of this department to avoid dry fodder, as it were. Of course we have all enjoyed our La Brisas and are keen to appreciate their merit; but nevertheless, we believe the back numbers of this little periodical will be more or less ephemeral, 50 we ptesent in a more substantial and preserv- able form through these columns of the Caerulea. a general recapitulation of the live topics of conversation which have been Heard on the Campus throughout the school year. CLASS JOLLYeUPS Class jolIy-ups have proved a very popular source of env joyment to the various classes this year. and have shown themselves to be an excellent medium for getting acquainted and for fostering that get-together spirit so much desired among the class-men. The Seniors were the first to innovate this idea. doing so in a measure to supplant the old idea of Senior luncheona. They held their first jollylupea most successful affairein the gymnasium, the afternoon of October twenty-eighth. and were soon emulated by the Sophomores, Juniors and Freshmen in turn. in the month of February the Seniors gave a second sim- ilar affair to celebrate their victory in the Moanlight Track Carnival. THE MOVIES Under the echient managerehip of Jack Robinson, the Student Body moving picture shows have been a pronounced success, The best pictures procurable along comic. dramatic and educational lines have been shown. These. coupled with the various class stunt; have been a much enjoyed event dur- ing the year. and have been widely patronized by the stu- dents. A handsome inlaid cup was oHered a: a trophy for the best clays ahit produced at the movie shows. and the claszes vied keenly with one another to win this prize; but as the Caerulea goes to press the winner has not been an- nounced, These entertainments have proved a great in- centive to the purchasing of free sustaining membership cards 4mm llumIn-II 'Phirly-Elghn in the Student Body, for the school citizen holding this type of membership has been admitted free to ail movie shows. BUNCH DANCES A group of High School students commonly known as the Bunch has given several successful hops this year at the Virginia Hotel and Ehel! Club. The hrst event of these delightful functions was held November first in the Virginia Hotel bail room. Sixty students chaperoned by Superintend- ent and Mrs. Stephens. wete the guests of the Bunch on that evening. Other similar aEaiIs. Equaity enjoyable. were held intermittently during the 1913 and 191 4 school season. THE FATAL SCIENCE BUILDING From all appearance: Dan Cupid has been encamped in the Science building during the entire school year, and the fast thinning out of the ranks of the teaching force of this building attests strongly the potency of his arrows. All dev partments alike have been besieged by this little mischief- maker, and those who have not already done so, are rapidly foreswearing the joys of single happiness for wedded bliss. Miss Magaw at the cooking staff was First to succumb. leavr ing in January. followed by Mia: Craig of the Art Department who even farwent a trip abroad to gain the title of Mrs. Miss Craig stepped 05 during the spring vacation. Now we are not in a position to offer any authoritative information. but an ominous trip to Reno by Mr. Lyon dur- ing the Christmas vacation and the sentimental sighs of Mr. Elliott's motorcycle, we believe, are indicative of some mo- mentoua event which is destined soon to come. Also the left hands of Miss Jones and Miss Torrey evince that die- monds are still on the market. As to the other members of the Science building force, we know nothing definite. but are suapicious of their suscep- tibility, for stronger hearts than their: have melted before the wiles of the same captain that now is piloting the canoes of Miss Magaw and Miss Craig. The Commissioner's othce really should have been moved to other quarters, for it is a dangerous proposition to keep five such tender youths in the confines of such a zone as thin for a whole year. We suggest that the teachers of this fated building form a local chapter of the Amalgamated Society for the Erotic Love Lom. having as an insignia the Figure of Cupid wear- ing a smile and his all in all: and Flourishing the ecalps of his victims. rmu- llumll't-I'l Forty! CITY JAUNTS Various occasions have called many groups of our students to Los Angeles this term. Musicals, lectures. and the like which could not he heard in Long Beach have been widely attended by Long Beach High Sehooi students. On November fourteenth, forty members of the Music Depart- ment attended the initial performance of the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra. This event was so enjoyable and in- structive that practically the same crowd attended the 1am concert of the Symphony series on April third. Other musiv cal events which have entertained Long Beach students were the concerts at the Ellis Club who. through Miss Rogers. made the Boys' Glee Club their guests in February, and the Lyric Club who made the Girls' Glee their guests at a similar con- cert in March. Many students. musically inclined. have been attending the Philharmonic recitals of the 191 34914 season. On December nineteenth the members of the Aesthetic Gym Club gave an exhibition of folk and simple aesthetic dances at the demonstration of physical training of school pupils held at the State Normal in La: Angeles. On January thce-nth Fifteen members of the Camus Club heard Otis Skinner in Kismet, when he visited Los Angeles at that time on his western tour.

Socially, the school year has been an extremely active one: in fact, there has been a supet-abundance of dances. parties and similar functions. A stag aEair that will long be remembered by many of the boys. was the two nights house party held by the Camus fellows on Signal Hill the nights of March sixth and seventh. Pajama hikes. impromptu danc- ing to canned music. and feeds of unmentionable concoc- tions of grape juice. wienies. cake and dill pickles were the main feature! of this jolly spree. The Halloween season was productive of many social gatherings. notable among which was that tendered a group of students by Hazel Wilhelm at her home on Termina avenue Kathryn Magaw. a popular member of the Junior class who left for Franklin. Imiiana. in January. was the guest of Ruth Ware and a number of her school friends who gathered at Miss Ware's home an evening in January to wish Miss Magaw bon voyage. A similar farewell was tendered Hal Carroll by his many friends at the home of Maude Stroud in the same month. Hal left for Montana to pursue the farmer's life for a time. A reciprocity dance arranged in honor of the boys who have given the many Bunch dance! this year. was held March twenty-Hrst at the Ebell Club. The dance was pian- ned and given by a coterie of progressive girls who wished in some measure to reciprocate the favor: shown them in the many dances given by the boys. It was a St. Patrick affair and motifs :uggeative of this season were used throughout. CLASS PARTIES The Sophomore! were First this year to break the ice in the way of class parties. and gave their class attair the early part of the school year. It was held in the gymnasium the evening of November hrst and savoree of the Hallowe'en season. The Seniors name next, and held their party the twenty- hrst ot the same month. This affair centered around the Thanksgiving idea. in April. in pust-Lenten party was given by the same class, it being the last Senior party of the year. On December sixth the Juniors gave their memorable kid party at the Ebell Club. Games suggestive of child- u tue' Mumh'ml iI-nrny era; hand were played, and refreshments consisting of animal crackers, ice cream, ane all-day sucker: were served. The Freshmen held their party in Aprilea month ap. propriate to the time-honored tradition of the Freshie's greenneaa and unaophistication, CLUB DOINGS This year has been a notabie one for club activity and there certainly has been no dearth of social attraction! given by the various school organizations of this sort. The German Verein has given several social functions. and has proved itself a worthy and progressive little club. The jaunt its members took to Orange county park during the spring vacation will long be remembered by those partici- pating. Likewise has the Spanish Club. La Escalera. been socially active. Beach parties and gatherings at the various members' homes have been frequent. The party tendered the club in March by Miss Rau was especially enjoyable. This event combined the Saint Patrick and Easter ideas in a most unique manner. Miss Rau proved herself a gracious hostess and brought to a successful close the club's series of affairs, The Sarah Architectural Club, the Portia Club. and House of Representatives have also been udoing things this year. The scope of their activity is reviewed in the Organ- ization Department FACULTY FUNCTIONS The doings' of the Faculty have been far from phlegmatic this year. Swimming meets have been a most pleasurable source of rhvertiement to this august body. These events were held at various intervals in the bath house plunge until March, at which time they were terminated for fear that some of the members might sprout Fins. so adapted were they to the acquatic life. On November seventh Miss M. Irene Patterson entertain- ed a number of the Facuhy at dinner at her Willowville bunga- low. It was a reunion of a vacation party who were in the Grand Canyon last summer. April fast was the occasion of a Faculty party given by Miss Burrell in honor of the birthday of Miss Lawhon and the approaching marriage of Miss Craig. Miss Lawhon'e birthd day cake bore eighteen shitting candlekbut of course the refreshments. game: and all were suggestive of the date. mm- Humm-n Jv'nrlyJFnurl SPECIAL DAYS 0:: several occasions this year Long Beach High School has had special days which stand preweminent in the mind of the student when he looks back over the year now draw- ing to a close. Alumni Day of January second will long he remem- bered as one of these red letter days. The clay was given over to the general entertainment of the many Alumni. who. on that date. entered once more the portals of their Alma Mater to greet their old friends and teachers. The festiw ities extended into the evening. at which time one of the dramatic classes presented nThe Rose of Plymouth Town. with the Alumni as the honor guests. Kodak Day. on February twenty-flfth. too, will be red membered as the day when we all had our physiognomiea converted many times from palpable Heeh into a gelatinous prototype-all for the express purpose of reproduction in the Annual. But the day of days was Monday. March thirtieth. at which time the old school spirit of Long Beach High once more came into its own. After the students were seated in the darkened assembly, the curtains were drawn and the spot light thrown on the five-foot Tribune trophy cup, the insignia of our splendid victory in the Southern California Track Meet. When everyone had given vent to his joy by prolonged cheers. the lights were turned on, revealing the victorious team on the pennant bedecked stage. The as- sembly was followed by a serpentine through the city streets, led by Mr. Stephens. Mr. Bucham and the band. RAYMOND BRITE.

' 14A ASE ,MBLY STARS 'Uno Ilmum-n 'lvnrty-smwm The year that has brought us that great beautiful track cap has been a year of musical prosperity for our High School. Under Miss Rhetts and Miss Knight the study of music appreciation has been greatly advanced and two new courses, Harmony and Music History. have been introduced. AppreCiation in a twuayear course. including the study of Classical, romantic. and modem music and opera. The value of the course can scarcely be overestimated. Of the thousands of people who consider themselves lovers of music, Comparatively few haVe a true understanding of it. It can safely be said that out of every ten people gathered to hear a musical program of high rank. one-half are not listening at all, but are iooking at the others. or at the per- formera, or at the scenery or programst or are lost in their own thoughts, One critic has said that the capacity to listen intelligently to music is as much an indication of mu- sical talent in the listener as can be shown in his skill in playing upon an instrument or in singing. With the aid of the pianola attachment and the Victor machine the students have become familiar with the voices of many of the world's greatest singers. and the instruments of its most famous musicians. as well as with the masterpieces of all ages of music. We appreciate the compiimentary words of Mr. James B. McDermid, campuser-accompaniat of note, when he Iemarked the unusual interest of Long Beach High School in best music. The classes in music history have studied the history from the time of counterpoint, when the harpsichord took the place of our piano. through the different periods of muaical inventions and the discoveries of the maaters of music. cane Hundred Fm'tyeliighn Long Beach High School is one of the few high schools in the west offering a course in harmony. This splendid new course, instructed by Miss Rhetts, is one rarely given outside a conservatory of music. It is Miss Rhetta' ambition to have the commencement music composed by pupils of the High School, and to use compositions of our own stu- dents for our public entertainments. For Long Beach Day all of the music will be written by members of the harmony classA Among others taking this course is talented Made- leine Luphe-r, who has done a remarkable piece of work in her Web of Life, a vocal solo with piano accompani- ment and violin obligate. This year's Artists' Concert series included more cele- brities than commonly appear under the auspices of a High School Student Body. To secure an artist of such renown as Charles W. Clark, baritone. at the usual low prices we pay for these recitals, is a privilege we should not fail to appreciate. Great credit is due the members of the executive staff, especially to Miss Rogers. and to Raymond Brita, man- ager. Raymond not only has made a financial success of this season's concerts, but has stimulated a cordial spirit of approval in the town patronage. For an equal success next year we can hope no more than that as capabie a manager may he found. In order of their appearance the artists presented are: Olga Steeb, one of the most famous woman pianists; Brahma Quintet, chamber music: Charles W. Clark, world-famuus baritone; Sibyl Sammie McDermid, soprano: and Estelle Hart Dreyfus. contralto. L. E. Behymert manager of the Los An- geles Auditorium theatre. has said of our Artistst concerts: I feel that you have given to your public this year two dollars' worth of talent for one dollar's worth of receipts. but it has estabiiahecI your course and made your High School offer- ings the peer of those of any high school in the state.' The orchestra, directed as last year by Don Humphreys. has more than ever merited its popularity. It has grown since last year both in size and in the accuracy and force of its work. Especially worthy of mention is the part the full up chestra played in the Christmas concert. and that of a picked one for The Rose of Plymouth Town. Most faithful boomer of our High School is our band. Aiways at the gamea aud debatesk-wherever spirit is wanted-it does its loyal best in rooting for the green and gold. Chums took advantage of the Christmas concert to show the happy results of the semester's practice. Many compli- tClilu Hundred 1 ol't3wVi1It-3 manta were received by Miss Rogers and members of the chorus on this artistic succesn. Both boys' and girls' Glee Club; are large this year, and the quality of their work is of the customary high standard. Each has appeared before assembly several times, and choruses have been picked from them for various entertainments. Tout 1e monde looks for ward to the annual Glee Club concert as the crowning event, musically, of a regal musical year. EVELYN BROWNING, '15; HARMONY The voice of music i3 an inner voice, a spiritual voice, thus music dwells within. proceeds from within and is under- stood within;I The study of harmony trains the ear and develops the musical sense. or feeling. which is the fountain of all music. it gives us an understanding of the weave of musical fabric; and an intelligent appreciation of the works of the masters. And since understanding is the basis of skill, har- mony, combined with rythmical relation, is a Firm basis for sight reading, makes memorizing easy, interpretation natural: and finally awakens, develops and guides that divine spark of creative impulse within us all.

It is now divided into four courses: two years of oral expression and two of dramatic study and interpreta- tion. and every class is crowded. In expression. the First and second year pupils learn to distinguish good action from mediocre, and to appreciate good plays and actors. By means of character and panto- mime presentations they become familiar with the possibild ities of vocal and bodily interpretation of a written thought. Miss Russell has discovered some promising future play leads in her lower classes. The standard of plays chosen for class study is as high as usual this year. Shakespeare? King Lear being the choice of the Juniot Dramatic: class. During the entire flrst semester. a thorough study was made of this diH-icult play. and. from the class of thirty-Hve members. a cast: was chosen Which for a time. had hapes of presenting it in costume. On account of the expense of renting elaborate costumes, scenery, and stage httings, the plan had to be given up, un- fortunately. Especially deserving of mention was the splen- did work done by Dave Smith as King Lear, recognized as one of Shakespeare's most difFlcult roles. Other members of the class whose eEorts merit special credit are: Vivian' Kraus, in character as Goneril; Dorothy Hoblitt and Mildred Pitts, as Regan; Maud Stroud. aa Cordelia: A1 Williams, 35 Kent: Everett Simpson, as Edgar; Leslie Wark. as the tricky knave. and Muriel Burdick, as the king's fool The Rose of Plymouth TOWI'IH was given in entertain- ment of the Alumni by the High School postgraduate class on Alumni Day.

The Senior play is al- waya more greatly anticipated than any other in the wholc year.

Humlrml Fiftyil-lightJ This year has proved a banner one, with regard to ath- letics. For the Hrst time we have established ourselves as champions of the south and are now going north to bid for the state championship. While our athletes have been win- ning for us on the held. our debaters have been successfully maintaining the good reputation of our High School on the platform. As a result of their efforts they have placed us at the head of the Southwestern Debating League. and we have every reason to expect that we will win the championship. Because of the size of our school it was necessary to choose eight debaters instead of six as has been previously the custom. In the hrst try-out. which was held last fall, six men were chosen. Miller McClintock and John Halbert being held over for the second debate, Our hrat debate took place with Huntington Beach on the question: HResolved. That the United States Should Atfopt a Single Tax as Advocated by Henry George. The afhrmative was upheld here by Hal Carrol and Frederick Pike, the negative at Huntington Beach by Vhian Kraus and Ray lredell. The ability of our debaters was amply demonstrated at these contests. owing to the fact that we won both sides of the question by a good margin. When the scores were Hually computed it was found that we occupied Hrst place in the league. mne Hundred l ifl;.'-Nimn After the second try-out. in which Albert Baber and Roland Whealton were selected, the second set of debaters started to work, firmly resolved to make as creditable a showing in their debate against Lincoln High as their prede- cessors had against Huntington Beach. This desire and am- bition was realized when on March 20 Miller McClintock and Roland Whealton, representing Long Beach at home. and Albert Baber and John Halbert, upholding our side at Los Angeles. defeated both sides of the question: uResolvcd, That the Managerial Form of Government is Better for American Municipalities Than the Commission plan. The results of this debate left Long Beach still leading in the league, being Fifteen points ahead of her nearest competitor. Because of a misunderstanding between Les Angeles Poly and San Diego it was decided. at a league meeting, to lower San Diegos score below that of Santa Ana, who ranked third. thus allowing the Peatlanders to participate in the final debate. The championship team this year consists of three Seniors. Miller McClintock. john Haibert and Albert Baber. and one Junior, Ray Iredell. Although it is yet a little early to foretell the outcome. we have every confidence in their ability and fully expect them to win new laurels for us. As to the debaters themselves. Hal Carrol has proved himself to be one of our best and most forceful speakers. When he graduated at the end of the first semester he left a place that was very hard to fill, We feel sure that he is going to make good along this line at college. Miller McClintock is the veteran debater of the High School. His jury eloquence and forceful speaking has thrilled many audiences. Albert Baber and John Halbert. although new at the work. have thus far made an exceptionally good showing. They will represent us in the championship debate. John Halbert is one of the season's most Foreeful speakers. while his colleague, Albert Baber, has clistinguished himself as one of the clearest thinkers on the team. This is also their last year in High School. Three Juniors made their First appearance in the debat- ing world this year: Ray lredell, Frederick Pike and Roland Wheaiton. The showing which they- have made was little less than marvelous. and with their return next year, we may well hope to turn out a championship team again. Vivian Kraus is also a Junior, but by no means a novice in debating. This year she has had the unique distinction of being the only girl tiebater. In the contest with Huntington Beach she upheld her side of the question in a most creditable mm- Humirwl HixtyJ HAY IRHIIIGIJ. I'UILANII U'HEAIJPUN .IUIIN HALHICH'T Fiil-IIIIORIC'K l'lKl .

Debating This year for the first time the Literary Department re solved to offer a gold and silver medal for the winners of First and second places in the lnter-Class Championship den bate. As a result an added and increased attention has been paid to these contests. It is to be hoped that this support will continue to grow as class debating certainly deserves to be upheld by all. This year the junior class won the championship 1:01 the third consecutive time, a record which has never before been equalled. and the members of the ciass haVe determined to do all they can to maintain their reputation by winning again next year, thus establishing the highest possible record of at- tainmcnt. The: gold medal altered for the winner of first place was won by John Robinson. a Junion while the silver one was awarded to Alfred Price of the Sophomore class. STERLING FARR. 'IS. 03112 Hundred sixty-Twm Football The football team of the next school year should by all means uphoid the splendid standard which was sel by our team this last season. With the mainstays of this year's team to depend upon. and the ever present chance of new men, such as Moseley. Curry. Magee and Marks were this year, Long Beach High School should produce an aggrega- tion of qualihed champions. The major part of our last year's team will represent us again next season. Wark. Geddes. Williams, Curry, Magee and Marshall will be back on the job as veterans next year, and the new material can easily be adjusted to these old players. We will have much of the best of the last year's second team to rely on. We were twice beaten this yeah once by Whittier and once by Ontarioi We were tied by Santa Ana. We cle- feated four schools. the Army and Navy Academy of San Diego. San Diego High. Santa Monica and Pasadena. For the first time aince I9I0 Long Beach Hcooked Pasadena conclusiveiy and weil.

The number of girls who have partici- pated in this favorite sport has been larger than any pre ceding year; the Senior and Freshman classes each turning out two teams. The hrst of the series-the lower class con- test-was won overwhelmingly by the Sophomores; The Seniors outclassed the Juniors in the upper class game. but were beaten by the Sophomores l5 to 8.

MABEL MARTIN. 'I4. Boys' Basketball Never in the history of our new school has basketball been supported as it should be. Our school has turned out champions, but in nearly every case they won without the support of the students. Especially was this true of this past season. Never did a team need support more than our team did this last year; practically all the men were inex- perienced and new a! the game. A team composed of such men with no support whatsoever, could scarcely be expected to be a winner. Basketball is a game that is easily understood by spec: tators. It is exciting from the time the ball goes up in the center until the last whistle blows. It is a game of endurance, 3113 of science; it takes just as much judgment and science to play a heavy game of basketball as it does to play fotthalI. NOW, why is it that basketball never receive: student support? Next year we will be fortunate enough in having Fine veterans with us. Of this year's team only two men grad- uate-lreclell and anhcr.

We shall also miss him next year, Ray lredell. manager, is certainly to be congratulated on the way he worked in trying to pull basketball out of the hole. He was behind the team in all its efforts and we ap- preciate his work. Coach Eliott proved that he knew basketball as well as football and other athletics. He took up the coaching of the team late in the season when all its mem- bers were much discouraged over their defeats, and through his efforts the team won the last three games in hrst-class fashion. The work oi Mr. Eliott was simply voluntary work and we certainly thank him for the interest he took in our team. HUMP. 'IS. iOIH- Fluntll'ml Sixtynfiighu 3 J: BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM Water Polo Water Polo started early this year. A county league was formed in whiCh hve schools were entered, Manual Arts. Los Angeles Poly, Los Angeles High Huntington Park, and Long Beach. With Five of last year's team back, an excel- lent coach, and a goodly store of new material, our prospects for a nlrong team was assumed The local plunge was He- cured for practice twice a week. Soon a team was picked and we were ready to meet all opponents. On January ninth we piayed the First league game with L05 Angeles Poly, In the Ian! half, two of our demonn were seized with the cramps and as a result the game ended in a 6 to 6 tie. On January sixteenth we played Manual Arts and they proved to be easy victims of our aspiring aquatic stars. the score being 17 to 3 in favor at Long Beach. On January twenty-fourth we met the aggregation from Los Angeles High and upon this game practically depended the championship. We would easily have won had the referee given us a square deal. but such was not the case. In his estimation the score was 5 to 4 in favor of L. A. On January thirtytHrst the team journeyed to Huntington Park and defeated their representatives of the wet pastime by the tale of 20 to 2. This ended the league series. Long Beach being the strongest team, but they could not claim the championship as the league hati previously disbanded. The inter-claas games came off on the twenty-eighth of February. The first game between the 'hFrosh and SuphOr mores resulted in a. victory for the Sophs. The second game between the Seniors and Juniors was grabbed by the Juniors. The next game between the Juniors and Sophs. on which rest- ed the championship of the school. was. with great eitort and considerable luck, capped by the juniors, the score being four, to the Sophs three. The outlook for next yeafs team is very bright. we lose only one of this year's team and there is a number of prom- ising Freshmen and Sophs. The lineup for this yearhs team is as follows: James Geddes tCath, goal. Get is a regular 01d alligator in the water and when it comes to guarding goal Captain Geddes is right there. He is eqUaHy good at for- ward and knows the art of shooting goals. uGet will be with us again next year. Forge Marshall. guard. Georgie is sure a demon. mun Hunclru-tl renw-mn He has the game down to a Fine point: he hands his oppon- ent all that is coming to him and then some, Purge has ane other year also. Speed Wark, guard. Forge nu fast little mate makes an opponent hump if he can get a goal over him. There have been very few goals made over Wark and we are lucky to have him with u: again next year. Bronkitus Millard, center half. Bronk is an old hand at the game and sure has it down pat. He is exceedingly fast and sure at shooting goals. Brunk has two more years to serve. Slate Dunlap, aprint. 'iSlats is the next thing to a Fish. It is very seldom that an opponent can beat Andy to the ball. He delights in shooting goals and ducking his opponent. Andrew also has two more years. H lredell. forward. H is a regular water-dog when it comes to polo. He is one of the most consistent players on the team. He has made many goals for Long Beach and his vacancy will be hard to Fill next year. Harry will grad- uate and we hate to lose him. Fritz Clark, forward. Harry's teammate, although new at the game, has shown that he is well entitled to a place on the teami 'iFritz is a Scph and will show up well next year. Cuty' Garner, forward. is a scrappy little player and has made good when given a chance. Although not holding a regular place on the team, he has won his letter and l'N: surely deserved it Boyd has two more years to play, LeRoy King and Tom Long, subs, are both new at the game and ahowed up exceedingly well. They both will be with us next year and will aid greatly in making another strong team. The success of the team is due to the faithfullneas of the fellows and our excellent coach, Mr. R. D. Elliott. CHAS. DE COUDRES, 'I6. mne Hundred SevenLy-Onel Swimming The Cook he made a pie with the fllling mighty shy, And the hosln had to go and spill the gravy, SPLASHI' That is the tune that swimming started out with this year, and we have been singing it ever since; As far as spilling the gravy is concerned, we sure are bears when it comes to upsetting dope. This is shown by our first big meet. with Los Angeles Polytechnic High School. New this L. A. Poly team had cooked up a big pie. They claimed the championship in water polo and were confident of the same laurels in swimming. They had defeated Bimini Baths by a huge score and were coming down here to give our team a good Turkish bath and incidentally to teach us to do the water tango. and even some of our men were nervous concerning the outcome. But we met them Friday evening. March twenty-seventh, and surely did spill the gravy. We defeated them by the score of 39 to 28. The score would have becn larger had not Ceddes heen accidentally left off the eligibility list. The big inter-claas event came of? Saturday night, April fourth. Each class had a strong team and much IiVEly com- petition was evident. At least we were assured that forty of our students would have a bath this year, as each class was allowed to enter ten men in the contest. A beautiful loving cup was awarded to the Sophomores as the winning team, with the Seniors 3 close second. The biggest event of the year, in watery sports. is the big Southern California Swimming Meet, which will he held in Los Angeles April seventeenth and eighteenth. Several high schools in Southern California will be represented there. En- couragEd by the excellent showing our team made against a school that is considered one of the hardest in the league. we will travel ta Los Angeles and splash for the championship of the south and attempt to bring home another banner for our assembly and another hunch of gold medals for our aquatic stars. Our motto is uThe bigger they are. the harder they falL Our slogan is Sit down! you're rocking the boat! Our war cry is Kyran! Next year, students, Come out and boost harder than ever for the major activity of swimming. ' DAVE SMITH. 'IS. :Une Hundred Suvunly-TWGJ Etuur 37:27; 57. Track HTum over a new leaf and start out the new year right. it is an Did saying but it has a great deal of meaning. Our track team took this as their motto for the year l9l4 and perhaps this in the reason for some of the success which they have had this year, With the starting of this season the fans had little idea that the fellows who were trotting around the track and jumping, would win for Long Beach High the greatest honors ever received by any of her teams in the past. Early train- ing was prohibited on account of the incessant rains and cold weather. This did not discourage the boys but rather seemed to add determination and spirit to the work they were doing. With the word track' comes Coach Lyon. Our new coach. whom we have learned to love and respect. has alw ways been with the team and it is due largely to his interest and coaching that the Southern California track champion- ship was possible. He stands for all that is clean and apUrlSr maniike and no d'rty work goes on in his presence. It has been said that he is too honest to be a track Coach. There is only one answer to this statement and that is. What would be the pleasure of having a championship and knowing that it was not won honestly? We hope the coach will be with us again next yeah The first track meet in which the team participated was at the Tournament of Roses in Pasadena on New Year's Day. The race in which the team was Victorious was the eightvman mile relay race. It was plainly evident after the hrst few men had run. that Long Beach would win. One of the customs of the Olympic games was used in the race. each :unner car- ried a baton. which he passed to his teammate. In the meet the team won a cup. Occidental again held a relay carnival on their track and invited all of the high schools in the south. In this meet Wark won the one hundred-yard dash. beating same of the fastest men in the south. The four-man twoemiic relay team was not so fortunate as were the other teams and had to be satisfied with third piace. The fuur-rnan oneemiic team easily won. as did the eightvman team. Long Beach won the cup for having the highest score. It is worthy to note that out of a possible eighteen gold medals Long Beach received thirteen. in the dual meet with Pasadena we were laid low. There was nothing the matter. we were just simply beaten. in this meet some new material came into view. Lupher won the quarter-mile in remarkable time. but this was just the he- roin: I-lumlH-Il Hevmnyrlfumj T RACK $QL'AIJ ginning of his track career. Wark was the star in this meet, winning three First places. On the next Saturday, Santa Ana came visiting and was much surprised to find that our team had greatiy im- proved in a week's time. Art Wilcox came into view in this meet and won the pole vault. much to the surprise of everyone. Some fast time was made by Wark in the one hundred and two-twenty-yard dashes, ten seconds and twenty-two and two-frftha respectively. The score was 72V; to 491A. Long Beach wan. The annual Los Angetea county meet was held at Pagan dena March fourteenth. The meet was close anti exciting from the start and was attended by a large number of the studentst Our fellows took five First places. which :is a large number, considering the schools entered. Wark won the two-twenty- yard dash. Lupher took the quarter-mile. Art Wilcox again was a surprise and won the pole vault. Thompson got ex- cited and jumped three inches higher than usual, winning the high jump. anher. P. Wilcoxt Moseley, and Wark were the members of the relay team and won for the Fifth time the pennant for this race. In this meet we received the relay pennant and foulteen medals. eight of which were gold. Who would ever have thought that Long Beach High would win the big cup, the relay trophy, six gold and three bronze medals in the Southern California meet? We have had track teams in the past and they were good, but this is the fn'st team that has ever won these honore The trial heats were run off in the forenoon and Wark and Moseley qualihed for the Finals in the one hundred-yard dash. Lupher easily placed himself in line for the Finals of the quarter mile. King coasted along and qualified in the high hurdles. Lunch was served in the club house. where all contestants received a meal O L The First event in the afternoon was the pole Vault. Art Wilcox cleared the her without any trouble but when he reached the eleven-fuot mark we an expected to see him retire from the list of vaulters. Nothing doing; Art went over the hrst time. He took third at eleven feet seven inchesy Walk took third in the one hundred-yard dash and then retired to the training quarters to rest. The high hurdles was the next event in which we placed. With the report of the starter's gun. King. Nourse and Murray started for what was considered to be the ctosest race of the meet. The race Enish- ecl with the three mean less than one-Hfth of a second apart. King took third place. The men then were called to the starting line for the tweatwentyayard dash. In thin race Wark proved to the mm Ilnnrirr-tl HI-vA-ntr-HMJ 10H? Hlunlrm! St'vt'nlyrSl-VA'IU crowd that he was without a doubt the fastest man in this race in the south. The soft condition of the track prevented him from making a record. The four-forty came soon and Lupher gave the contestants the fastest race of the season. He took the lead from the start and held it until he coliapsed at the tape. He was not alone. however. for a little runner from Anaheim Finished with him. The race was considered a tie. The relay race was the last event, on its outcome de- pending the winner of the meet. The Long Beach men knew that they must run the race of their lives. and they did it. Lupher had the hret leg. A few minutes previous he had fallen exhausted at the end of a heart breaking fourmforty, yet he never ran better than in his part of the relay. He failed to take the pole on the curve but he held second place until the last, Walker was the second man. When he got his touch oft, two men were ahead of himi Walker had not trained for this event. but he ran as though it were his star event. Before the runners took the curve, Walker had passed one of his opponents and by the time he came into the straightaway he had surged two yards ahead of the leading man. As he touched off the third man. he unfortunately spiked him. The sharp spikes in Walker's shoe ground into Moseley's foot and tore OE half of his shoe as he made his start. Although the pain was excruciating it seemed to act as a spur on Moseley rather than as a hindrance. He pzessed the leader to the end of the lap. When he touched off Wark, the last Long Beach man. Repath, the Fast Toilet of Manual Arts was several yards in the lead. Wart: knew that if he won the race it would he a sacriflce on his part. He had already, during the day. run two one hundred yards and two two hundred and twentyAyard dashes, but LrL from the grand stand throbhed in his ears and the rays of the setting sun were reHected into his eyes by the glistening trophy which had been placed in the center of the Field. He exerted himself to the utmost, passed the Toilet, and with his face twisted by the agony of the strain. ran down the home stretch anci collapsed into the tape. a scant two yards ahead of Repath. His friends carried him from the held, his face was still twisted, but now with a smile, for the green and goid had won. There is one man this year who has been faithful to the last to the team. This is Bernie Williams, our trainer. He has a thankless job and few people in school would care to have it. yet he has been the one who has rubbed the stiH joints and muscles into conditions. He begins work at three in the afternoon and works until dark. We certainly ap- iimr- Hundruz'l vaL-uty rl-Iizhlj mZCMAZdIU P443: duZu-Oh1- 4v .IHZM-EFUOT. preciate the work and service he has renrlered the team. Let's give three cheers for Bernie. Magee is another who has been faithful and has done all in his power to help the school. He was taken sick at the beginning of the season and was unable to get back into condition. The business end of track was efflciently carried on this year by Floyd Ray. He is always on the job and has spent many nights of work grading the track; His work on the Moonlight Carnival was one of the things that made it a success. Ray will be here again next year. Captain Wilcox has been an energetic and hard working captain. It was through his ability as a booster that the northern trip was possible. The Stanford Meet Long Beach High now has the tastes! relay team in the state. At the Stanford University interscholastic meet April eleventh the relay team defeated a field of sixteen teams from the largest high schools in the state. The first lap of the relay was run by Lupher. With the report of the starters gun. the sixteen men started out at full speed to gain the pole before the turn in the track was reached. There was a ter4 rihle congestion as the runners reached the turn but on the back stretch they began to spread out and as they came around the tum, Lupher and a Berkeley man fought for sue premacy. Walker was the second man for Long Beach and was touched OH at practically the same instant as the Berkeley boy left his marks. Walker was deliberately fouled by the Hrst Berkeley man, but notwithstanding. made up the three yards lost and succeeded in passing his man by a good Eve yards, giving Wilcox a lead. Captain Willieh ran like a wild man and as he ran, the distance between him and the other runner increased rapidly. When Wilcox hnished and gave the race over to Moseley. Long Beach had such a lead there was little hope of any other team winning. Moseley started off. however, as if he were several yards be- hind. Around the track he went. gaining with every stride he took, until he touched off Wark, the last runner. Wark ran this race entirely on grit. He had already done a hard day's work and this was the hardest race of all, The Berke- ley runner. who was running seconci place, was a young giant over six feet tall and was trying with all his might to overtake the thirtylyard lead Wark had. Long Beach was never be, hind after the second lap. The team came within one second of beating the world's record. In addition to winning the relay Wark took third in the 100 and second in the 220eyard dashes. King took third in the high hurdles. Icmp Huluh'wl mighty; There were over two hundred and eighty contestants in this meet and forty-Hve schools were represented. This was considered the greatest meet ever held on the Stanford oval and it was a great honor to be able to take a place in any of the events. Seven-jewel Waltham watches, guaranteed for twenty years. were given this year for Hrst places and silver and bronze medaIs for second and third places. We won in this meet flve of the watches, one silver and two bronze medals. We also have the privilege of keeping the relay cup for one year. and having Long Beach-I9I4 engraved under the Iisl of teams having won it. Points Made by the Track Team Oxy, Pas. S. A. Co. S.Cal.

Last year nothing much was done in tennis and little interest was shown. But this year, with all of last year's men hack ex- cept Johnson. we were able to accomplish something. Lack of interest in the past has been caused mostly by the lack of a league. Early in January the County High School Tennis League was formed and Pasadena. Glendale, Alhambra, South Pasadena. and Long Beach joined the league. Our First league tournament was held February fourteenth with South Pasadena on the Virginia courts. The tournament was closely contested; Long Beach winning by the score of 4 to 3. Our next tournament was held March 7th on the Virginia courts with Alhambra. which was one of the fastest teams in the league. A tennis rally was held the day previous to the tournament which enabied Long Beach ta win 6 to I. On March fourteenth the team went to Pasadena. The team failed to play the same class of tennis it had been playing up to this time. and were defeated. As there were few schools in the league. one game last meant the loss of the pennant. On March twenty-eighth the team went to Glendale and outclass- ed them by the score of 7 to 0, Long Beach winning all matches. The league closed with Long Beach second. At the time of writing the tennis season has just fairly begun, as none of the big tournaments have been held yet. Long Beach will send representatives to the state tournament held at Nordoff. and to the county meet. In the latter meet, espec- ially. Long Beach ought to make a good showing. The team this year consists of Andrews, Alder. McFadyen and Lower. Our prospects for next year are very bright. as Andrews and Alder will be with us again. Alder is only a Soph but has played a steady and winning game all this year. Andrews has come to the front wonderfuiy too, He has shown his ability to Fight to the finish and has never been beaten this year. He will be in all prohabiiity the best High School tennis player in the south next season. The Virginia Hotel has been very courteous to the team this year in furnishing them rooms, and in allowing them to practice and to hold tournaments on the hotel courts. WILL LOWER, ' i 4. mm; Hundred Eighlerlu'uei HNZVAW HEW?- BASEBALL At the beginning of the season this year it appeared as though our team would not be as strong as formerly with the loss of so many veterans. The team was but a shadow of our championship team oi last year, and it seemed nearly imposa sible to find material that might ml up the vacancies. Men were at last found, however, who not only have equalled last year's team but, from the present results. may even surpass its great success. Perhaps we may never have so many in- dividual stars as we possessed then, but as a team, each man doing his part to make a perfect machine. this year's team is unequalled. If having a good coach is any boost for a team we should have the championship This year, Coach Miller started. practically a stranger to most of the fellows, but he has rounded out the positions and developed our players into championship form. This is Captain Bones' fourth year with us. He has been captain the last two years and a royal captain he has made. Baseball is Rollyls middle name. Last year he was the best first baseman we ever had. This year he is develop ing into a phenominal shortstop, It will be hard to get along without Rally. Leonard Harvey has been playing second base. He is one of the surest and best batters on the team. Len can be counted on to score a run every time. As a baseman he is one of the best Bill Reagan, or Tweed. has always played his posi- tion in a sensational manner. We are sorry he is leaving us but we know he will make good anywhere. Stow Curry is our new imported first baseman. it takes Scow to pull DH the impossible plays and he can hit like a triprhammer. He is to be with us another year. Stein came to us a Freshman but has played in a manner to be envied by a Senior. He is made for a pztcher and we rejoice that he will have three more big years to help us out. Siaco. aiias Sisf' is another pitcher to be proud of. We know good pitchers are scarce and we hope he may live to help next year's generation to victory Art Wilcox. catcher. leaves this year. This is his third year and his playing has been consistent all the time. We hope we may have a good catcher to Fill his shoes next year. Lee Miller has made a sensational fielder. His fielding has been perfect and when he hits a ball it never stops. Les is a Freshman and will in all probability be with us three more years. inns Hundred liiglily-Fivej l.L ' VJ VHHSVH WV Elmer Maurer, another new member of the team. has shown the best kind of style. As a batter he ranks among the best on the team and his Fielding could not be better. Snipe has saved us many a run. Jim Davey has been playing baseball at high school for three years and this year he made the team. If anyone de- serves to wear a baseball suit. Jim does. We always admire the person who can stick to a purpose and win. Tom Borden and Ray Robinson are both good players. Ray is a catcher and Tom plays field. It is always good to have men to fall back on that are as good as the regulars. and in this respect we are very fortunate. The best player and hardest fighter on the team this year is one who does not wea: a baseball suit. No team ever had so good a manager as we have Ed Brainard has done all he could to bring that championship home. and much that should have been placed upon the shoulders of others. if we do not get the championship it will not he Ed's fault. but it will simply be because we did not hav: the best team. If the team keeps up its present pace we surely shall he the proud possessors ot the pennant, for Long Beach at present is at the head of the league. and we expect to stay there. ARTHUR WICOX, 'I4. Soccer Football This is the first year that an attempt has been made to popularize this great English game. It has been played be- fore but only as an inter-class activity. We are entered in a league with Clendaie. Santa Monica and our old rival, Pasadena. Glendale promises to he our most formidable rival, as they play soccer in lieu of either Rugby or American and therefore should be very strong. HoweVer. Long Beach never yet went into anything that she dial not prove a Victor 0: a strong contender and it is only fair to presume that so:- cer will be no exception. Two games will be played with each school. making a total of six games in all. A handu some pennant will be awarded the winners. Already the most optimistic Long Beach enthusiasts see it decorating our assembly. However. be that as it may, any game that can draw a crowd of from l50.000 to 200,000 people in a country which is noted for its love of true sport. as soccer does in England. is worthy of the support of the students, and it is to be hoped that next year it will he recognized as a major activity.
