Hurry up there. you kids. he shouted, if you want to go to that doings tomorrow. He Clucked to his horses and started On. He chuckled to himself as he noticed the renewed energy now lavished upon the cornstalksh A picnic, h he mused. is a good hustler. It has almost cieaned my largest corn patch for me. The reminder had worked as an electric shock upon the two children, who were now working harder than ever and talking only betwegn blows, Hurry, Agnes. It was Eddy's voice, thin and weak like his body. Theris a chance of mists- ing the picnic after all, and I'd hate to the way Ma's worked. I'll bet she's got thc baby's dress done this very minuta. and besides Ma has more to do than just make the dress. She's got to bake a cake, fry a chicken, and do lots of other things. Say. did you know Pa's promised to take Ma to town this after noon and get you a new dress and me a new straw hat?' Yes. I know. but Pa don't always keep his promises. Do you think hehll sure do it this time? Her brother's face clouded, as he straightened his round- Sulvvn ed shoulders and looked after the Egurc of his father for a moment. Then without speaking he started to work again. The morning hours seemed very long, and the sun beat down relentlessly upon their small heads, When their father finally threw the lines over the horses' sides. the children stopped work, shouldered their hues, and silently followed their father to the house. Their mother was very busy dishing up the cornbread. beef, and green beans for their dinner. but she stopped to kiss the children and show them the baby's new dress. u0h, Eddy. ainit il: beautifuL and look. see how sliti1 your waist is starchedi it looks clean new, shouted Agnes. A broad grin spread itself slowly over his thin facet HShe's sure a dandy 'l he exclaimed. Sitting hastily down to the table he began cramming in his cornbread and beans. Agnes. you and me will have to :urry. or we won I get done today? Eddy remarked between ites. Their father ate silently and hastily. Finally he pushed back his plate and began roughly. Mary. I guess i canit go to town after all. These kids ain't worth their salt, They tionit deserve the clothes they have got. Anyway. I just can't go tomorrow. because I got to stay home and weed the pumpkins. l have been been putting it off, and putting it 0H7, but I donil intend to put it off any longer. i ain't goin'. His wife's face turned a deep crimsun, and she gazed steadily at her husband. She seemed about to speak but changed her mind. and rising hastily went into the next room to soothe the crying baby. and gain control of her feelings. When she re-entered the room. Dick seemed to have changed his mind, for he said sluwly, Them kids don't deserve it. but if they will get a move on them and weed those pumpkins yet today, and not leave it for me to do, we will go. Think you can do it? he asked. turning to Eddy who had been sitting very quietly. with downcast eyes, while Agnes had be- gun to nob to herself. Yes, sir. answered Eddy, we'll do it, All right. see that you do, growled their father. UBut say. Mary. I can't and won't go to town this afternoon. You'll have to go without them things for the kids. You can make over something of yours for them. uBut she ain't got nothing herself, interrupted Agnes. uShut up, mieu.h growled her father. nThis ain't your putain. Seventeen Zil- gilllW Don't worry. children. you shall have some new clothes. and we will go to the picnic, comforted Mu. Meek. Dick looked somewhat astonished at this repiy but said nothing. and getting his hat he went back to the Field followed by the children. When Mrsi Meek was left alone the energy of the morn- ing seemed to desert her. and she sank wearily upon the bed. her head in her hands. She sat thus. deep in thought for a long time. Finally arousing herself. she washed and tireased the two babies, and put them an the bed. This done she start- ed her own toilet. She changed her old gingham house dress for a faded black lawn, which was much worn, but still neat and clean. Taking a bottle from the cupboard she proceeded to hiacken her patched anti worn shoeai Then advancing to the minor. she put on her bonnet. which had also seen its best day. Carrying the youngest child in her arms. and leading the other slowly by the hand she started on her journey to the nearest town. which was about two miles away. The sun was hot and the road was long. She was forced to stop repeatedly to rest her arms and encourage the elder child. At last she reached the store She bought a pink lawn for Agnes and a straw hat with a red, white. and blue hand for Eddy. As she drew forth from her pocket book a crisp dollar bill. she thought of the original purpose of the bill, Which was sent to her by her sister as a birthday gift. She was so glad that for once. she would be able to make the children happy. that she forgot the sacrihce she was making herself. and paid the bill with shining eyes, She thought of her Hrst-born son. who had been lying so cold and still for such a long time. She rev membered that his life had known no pleasures. nothing but work. work. work. At length with a light heart but with weary feet, she made her way homeward. The eldest child was tired and needed much encouragement, but with all these difficulties she reach- ed home before her husband and children came in from the field. Agnes and Eddy had completed the compatch by ex- treme effort, and joyfully began to weed the pumpkins. but it was very late when at length they Hnished this task. After supper had been cleared away and their father had gone to bed. Mrs. Meek cailed the children into the kitchen. where she hati moved her sewing machine, and exhibited their treasures to them. They wen- very much delighted and could Eightenn hardly be persuaded to wash their weary little feet and crawl into bed. They had been sleeping many hours. however. before Mrs. Meek arose with a sigh of reiief and folded away the pink lawn. Mrs. Meek did not sleep much that night. for she was up ' WWW very early in the morning. The smell of frying chicken greete J k i i ed the children as they emergec! into the kitchen. iW-i After breakfast had been cleared away and the work Lllfiir done, a large tub was brought into the kitchen and each chilci - in tum was bathed and dressed in new clothes. after which they were cautioned to sit still and not get mugged till Pa came with the team. Meanwhile, Dick Meek had been comfortably seated on the fence swapping yams with Jim Kinder. a neighbor, Why. Mary, said Dick entering the room and gazing about in amazement. uthen: wasn't no use going to the trouble of Fixing up the kids for that picnic. I promised Jim Kinder last week that I would go with him to Marsh's tcday. Thereis an auction sale there and I stand a good chance of making a good trade. I clear forgot about promising Jim till this morning As if nothing more remained to be said. he quietly reachr ed for his whip; He was too stow, however. for with a quick spring, Mary grabbed the whip, and waving it before his face, she said. Stand hack. Dick. Don't you dare to touch that horse today. He belongs to me and the children. You promised the children over two months ago. and they have worked trying to earn it. and then to have it taken from them because of a promise you made to Jim Kinder only a few days ago. You are always keeping your promise to the neigh- bors and never keeping it to your own family Think of the little boy so long dead. He nevex did have a holiday. Oh, yes. you promised him holidays. but did you ever keep your word? Lies. Dick. all lies. but the team belongs to us today, and we are going to the pianist Then advancing to the wagon with the whip still in hand. she said to the neighbor, who had been looking on in amusee ment. Get out of that wagon, Jim. Dick promised us the team before he did you. and we are going to have them. Jim quietly climbed out of the wagon. She called to the children who were all huddled together, hardly daring to breathe. nCome on, children. We are gal ing to the picnic. She put the children into the wagon. cle- posited the lunch basket under the Beat. and taking the lines tram the waiting neighbor. she drove briskly out of the yard. 41!- Nineteen Jim Kinder gazed after the wagon until it was lost to sight. Then he turned to his friend and remarked, That wife of yours has sure got some spunk. ain't she! Dick Meek could not have been more nurprised had an angel appeared from heaven. He gazed for a long time after the retreating wagon in amazement. Then suddenly a broad grin spread over his faca and clapping his hands on his thighs he laughed loudly. When his mirth was somewhat spent. he turned to his friend and said. Bully for mother. I didnl think she had it in her.

Twenty-Ono 1916 AC K By Frank Will Hi there. get out. you dirty little curl I'll teach you to bother my colt. The speaker was Lem johnson. and he was venting his wrath on Jack, his little brother's dog that. at the time, was chasing Lem's colt about the corral. Lem could not tolerate such a thing. for the colt was his dearest possession given him, on his last birthday, by his father. He spent a great deal of time in training it and the sight of its frantic attempts to esd cape the dog made him furious. As he spoke, he made a dive for the dog with a pitchfork which he held in his hand. The offending canine. having evis dentiy anticipated some such demonstration, had been wariiy edging away and, as the young man lunged at him, dodged and scented for his refuge in times of danger. a hole under the barn Ccnfound that iittie rascal. muttered Lem to himself. as he started for the house. I'll have to put a stop to that business of his running the. colt. As he neared the house. his brother approached, whistl- ing cheerily. Jack emerged from his retreat when he saw his master but kept a reapectful distance from the person who had so rudely driven him from his fun with the colt. Say, Jimmy ' said Lem accosting his brother. you II have to tie that dog up or I 11 see to it that he doesn' t disturb things here any more. You know what that means. 'rw-vnly-Twu WellI I suppose I'll have to, said Jimmy. but I don't think Jack is mean: he just wants to play with the cult. Playf said Lem contemptuously. It may be play for him but I tell you l won't have him chasing the cult any more. Here, Jack, called Jimmy as he reached for a rope preparatory to tying the dog. Jack advanced cautiously but Jimmy was interrupted by his mother who appeared at the door saying. Come right in to dinner. boys, for your father is in a hurry to get out to work again as soon as possible. Be sure to tie that pup after dinner. warned Lem as he entered the house. While eating dinner. Mr. Johnson and Lem discussed the work to be done that afternoon. I want you to attend to the irrigation of that ten acres. over on the east side, by yourself. Mr. Johnson said to Lem, Jose has asked for the afternoon off to attend his uncle: funeral. This is the eleventh uncle that has died in the last six months. but a person has to humor him a little. so l told him he could go. And he continued. Watch the ditch carefully, especially where it runs alongside of Smith's wheatfleld, for he wants to cut the wheat tomorrow and he would be terribly put out if the ditch should break and Hood it.H All right, I'll be careful. answered Lem as he started for the held with a shovel over his shoulder. The Johnsons owned a sixty acre ranch in Arizona under a big irrigation project. lrrigation ditches ran from a large ditch to their ranch and these. in turn. branched into smaller ones from which the land was flooded. Mr. johnson and Lem. with the help of Jose. 3. Mexican. did all the work on the ranch but, as Mr. Johnson had stated. Jose had gone for the afternoon, ostensibly to mourn his deceased uncle but, in reality. to visit a pretty little senotita that he knew. lt wan a line day and Lem was in high spirit: as he went about his work. The incident that had excitEd his wrath. an hour previous, had entirely left his mind. Suddenly. how- ever, his memory was refreshed by a yip. yip. and, looking back, he saw jack chasing a jack rabbit madly across the field. Presumably he had not noticed Lem and was enjoying his freedom to the fullest extent. Jumping catel grumbled Lem. Jimmy and that clog do try my patience. After this I'll not depend on Jimmy but see to it myself that that dog doesn't chase all over the ranch. I'll leave him alone now. though, for if I drive him to the house. very likely he'll chase the colt all afternoon. He soon reached the field and was so busy that he did not notice a brown creature. nothing more or less than Jack, sneak Twenterlu'm- Cberulee. 1916 up and lie down behind a clump of weeds a short distance from him. After several hours of hard work Lem had the field en- tirely Hooded and. going to the main ditch. he turned off as much water as he estimated he had been using so that, when he stopped his own supply. his father. who was irrigating farther down the ditch. would not get too much water. Then. ' with everything Fixed satisfactorily, he started for the house. Tilllllhllll $le The ditch was too wicle for him to step across so he took a - - running iump, hut scarcely hacl he touched ground on the other side when the ditch bank gave way. There was a sharp. stabbing pain in his leg and a splash of water in his face. For a moment Lem was uncertain what had happened; then, as his brain cleared, he realized that the banlt had been honeycomb- ed by gophers and had, therefore, broken under his weight, his leg being held fast while his body was thrown back with his head in the water. With difficulty, Lem kept his head out of the water and made an effort to draw his leg from the hole, but was arrested by a pain which made him faint, and he barely saved himself from falling back into the water. This is a pretty Ex, he thought. UHow in the world am I going to get out of here! Just then his eye tell on the shovel which had been Hung from his hands when he fell. By persistent eEort he managed to secure it and. planting it as Firmly as he could in the ground. attempted to draw himSEIf up by it. Again and again he struggled. but, in the end. was forced to give up, and sank back exhausted. Its no use. he panted, I can't do it. and l A terrible thought entered his mind. lf he should become un- conscious he would certainly be drowned. ln desperation he made another attempt to extricate himself, but without avail. Then all was silent save the swish of the water and the twitter of a bird. Lem was thinking with the intensity of a general on the eve of a great battle. He knew that, if he could do anything at all to help himself. it must he done quiekly. for his strength was going fast and he could not hold himself taut oi the water much longer. In his stress of mind. familiar ob- jects took on a new significance. A headegate several feet to his right, seemed, all at once. to offer a possible means of Tea lief. This served. when raiseclt to admit water to a ditch which led to another part of the ranch than that where his father was at work. Ohe he thought. if I can only raise that head-gate anal let the water into the other ditch, father will notice the drop and come to see about it. TquIIy-Fuur A wire had been fastened to the gate to facilitate opening it, Lem tried to thrust the handle of the shovel through a loop on the end of the wire but could not reach it Would he have to give up aftEr am Again hope was renewed by the sight of a slender pOIE, which appeared to be long enough for his 1311!- pOSeV almost bidder: in the weeds on the ditch bank. He put out his hand far it but. in despair, saw that it was not within his reach. Must i give up! he gasped. Just then Jackl eyeing Lem curiously. gave a yelp as though he was asking to have a part in this queer game. ul wish you could help me. moaned Lem. Then he thought. Maybe he cant'i He remembered that Jimmy had trained the dog to fetch and carry things. so bracing himself for one more trial, he cali- ed Jack and, pointing to the railt he said, Bring it to me; that's a good dog. Jack was obviously forgetful of past grievances for he frisked happily about and finally took hold of the rail and dragged it toward Lem. then dropped it. and frisked about again. The suspense was terrible. but Lem kept his nerve as best he could and continued to coax Jack. After what seemed an interminable time but which was. in fact, not more than two minutes. jack dragged the rail within Lem's reach and. quickly seizing it. he thrust it through the wire and. exerting all his strength, managed to draw the headgate out and let the water pour through, Then all grew black, Hi3 one thought was to keep himself from falling back into the water; He felt himself slipping back. The water closed about him and he lost con- aciousness. The next he knew he was in his own room with his father and mother near and jimmy peeping in at the door. uDidedid you notice the water? he asked weakly. Yes, his father replied. but we'll talk about it iater. Youire tuckered out now but you'll soon be all right. Your leg's not brokenejust Wrenched.' When Lem was able to tell them all about it and the im- portant part Jack had taken in the rescue, Jimmy said triumphantiy. Jack's a pretty good clog after ail. And Lem answered heartily, He's a fine dog, Jimmy. But, he added with a return of his former spirit, if he can learn one thing he can another. and you better teach him not to run the cult.

Twn-nty-Eix THE MITTEN tHonorable Mentiont By Freda Place The gang 0f dismissal clanged through the long halls and an avalanche of noisy sixth graders came racing out onto the school grounds in a headlong rush for the football field. Comint to Bible Class tonight. Jimps? The speaker was a husky. handsome. little fellow of twelve. with light wavy hair and exceptionally large. brown eyes. HN'cbpe. 'tain't no fun, much. when y'ain't got a girl to talk to you. Too dry for me anyhow, that Bible Class. Guess ynu wish you wuz in my shoes thent Jimps? I'm goin' to take Beatrice. ' Just then Smootey the Second came up, and oven hearing Clenhs boastful remark. retorted jealously. Bet you a nickel you get stung. guyf' Huh. Ihd jes like to know what you know about it? Maybe you think youtd stand some chance! Beatrice Barnes was. without exception, the cuteat little girl in the sixth grade. Her Iong auburn curls and dark brown eyes made her admireli by every boy in the Lincoln Grammar School. Now Glen had not made a date with Beatrice for that evening, but knowing that she always came to Bible Class. and having an extremely good opinion of himself. he was egotist- ical enough to tell himself, and evexyone else, that he had a date for that night. We . s'long fellows, rm not goin' to play ball tonight. Say, Smootey. I'll take you up on that nickel. So each produced his nickel to show he had it. and Glen jumped on his new wheel and rode off, caning back. See you a at Bible Class. Slang.n Now all little boys know that in order to receive favors from mother. such as going out extra nights during the week, they must never stay to play baseball after school. 50 Mrs, Rogers was surprised in looking up from her embroidery that afternoon, to see Glen coming home so promptly. He noticed the pleased look on mother's face, and feeling in the heat of spirits he tossed his cap on a chair. Feelin' good today. Momsie? TwentyrHeven 1h f Winn! Her sonis unusual concern somewhat surprised Mrs. Rog- ers. but having her mind Filled with plans for the evening meal, she failed to use that motherk trait of Hseeing; beneath the surface. and only gave him a cheery affirmative reply as she began to count stitches again. Feeling that he had made a good start, he sat down and began with. Jes' guess what we did at school today. Confident that ht had done his best at getting on the right side, be bounded noisily upstairs to the bathroom where another unusual thing took place. He actually scrubbed his neck and ears and seemed to be taking great pains with it too. School days. school days. good old golden rule daysyu came ringing down Eh: stairs, in Glen's strong, yet noticeably Changing. 50prano voice, Unuaiiy Gian protested loudly when mother insisted on his cleaning up, but tonight he needed no urging for a thor- ough polishing up, for was he not going to walk home with Beatrice tonight? So with these thoughts. he cleaned his finger nails. and Hguessed he'd jest borrow some perfume from his big sis, These operations being finished, he came down stairs and walked into the living room with an unconcerned 81f. Guess i'il set the table for you, Momsie. Ain't nothin' much for me to do. uOh. never mind. run and piay, it's too early for din- us: and mother doesn't need you this afternoon. dearie. But Glen was restless and didn t care to play. Besides, he never could play ball decently with clean hands. Gloomy thoughts began to come. What if mother should decide on a late dinner for that evening? oftentimes she didl Then it would b: so late that she wouldn't let him goi Worse yet, what if she should remember that he had already been out his one. night that week, which was his limit? Glen rode moodiiy around the block on his wheeL then sat down in a porch chair and wondered which new tie he had best wear, anti how jealous Harry would be when he saw Beatrice walking 05 with him after Bible Class. A sharp whistle from the corner aroused Glen. ui-Lheeu' you're g-go-goin' to Bible Class tonight wvwiwix with Bee. D'ye m-me-m-mean it far s-a-sure? Now Harry was a good natured little fellow. always leasing and hopelessly tongue-tied. To make him more comx icai, he had reached the very farthest extremity from the handsome stage. Sure. Wish you wuz me. don't you? TwentyrEtght uNope. i don't care ah-heha-hang. but 1' 1343435.: you memvmy old top that yeyo-you get stumpeci. Glen. old boy! ' Harry's manner was tantalizing. but Glen took it for jealousy. and tried to ease his mind of a dehnitely forming suspicion. Well. silong. C-Culen. see y-you tonight. Y'aee I'm coming titrt-tvto-too. Oh. you needn't take th' trouble. kid. fer you'll only be disappointed. S'long. Glen pondered. The little streak of pride and boastful- ness in his disposition came uppermost. and he wished that he had rubbed it in' to Harry about his getting the mitten from Bee at the last party. for Harry's last taunting ramark hari struck him hard. Glen, oh Glen! Dinner is ready. sonny. iiComini right away, Momsie. came from the yard. in- stead of the usual, Wait till I Finish this game. can't you please. Glen took his place at the table. and his shining counte- nance was turned full on his surprised father. who wisely said nothing. Well. son. so you are beginning to use your napkin. was father's surprised comment upon seeing Glen stuffing his usually neglected napkin into his collar. The astonished parents watched. unseen, and remained silent. as parents have the habit of doing, mentally contrasting this strange tahie behavior with his usual giuttonous habits. And all this time Glen was planning how he COUId get through the meal without arousing their suspicions; Secretly he was glad that his sisters hadn't come home. for they would tease him about his unusual appearance and then he wouldn't get to go. If i can only get through this meal without doing some fool stunt to make the folks womier, and get on the wrong side. Iim all right and 1' sure get to go. Gian kept saying over to himself. Hello, everyoncl Business meeting held so late that we're: almost famishedl What! look at Bub. all spruced up! What're you celebrating, Glen? Do tell usl His sisters both talking at once, rushed in. Aw. shucks, I jes combed my hair for dinner. LeaVe me alone, can't you? So his sisters hurried upstairs to dress for dinner. and Glen secretly resolved to be through and out of the way when they came down again. TwentyLNine Charlies. 1916 Cberuleb. 1916 After dinner, sister began to practice, but no one heard the usual complaint from Bub, such as, chat hideous racket would drive anyone from home.' But instead, he closed the sliding doors and left her in peace. Nothin' like getting on the good side of old sis, believe me. She sme does run this house! Thinking this a good time, while everyone was out of the way. to breach the subject to mother. he casually walked out into the kitchen. Guess lll go over to Bible Class tonight. Momsie. l havenlt gone for two weeks. you know. But mother unfortunately remembered his other night out that weekl Better stay home tonight, sonny, you know you were gone Monclay night. too. HBut. mother, you know you always like for me to go lo Bible Class. Seems as if you'd be glad to have me go to a good thing like that. 'ich d better wait until next week. now. Go along and play checkers with father in the den. tonight. uBut, mama, pleaded Glen. lthinking of that nickle he had up. and seeing Harry taking Beatrice home from Bible Classl l've promised to go, and you always want me to keep my promises. don't you? Yes. son. but tonight I want you to stay home. so donil say anything more about it. Poor Glen, what could he Clo? ll he could only think of some good scheme! Ding-aling-lingl Oh joy, lucky thought! If someone would only stop for himV mother would surely let him go. No such luck, thought Glen, and started moodily upstairs Father went to the door and in bounced two, small. red- facecl boy friends of Glenia. uHurry up, Glen. Geel Ain't you ready yet? Putty late now. kid, Hurry upl Whatl' You're not going? Gee, kid. you'll lose that nickel, sure as the clickens. Come on. kids. to the kitchen! Tease for all you're worth. and mother will let me go for sure. whispered Glen. pulling them towanis the kitchen door, while his heart beat audibly. he thought. Shucks. Missun Rogers, Glen can go to Bible Class to- night. can't he? It's a special meetin', an' we'll sure be home early. Please!

Thirty And don't forget that this is your last night out this week. n.A right, mother. $1931.26; He won't, Missus Rogers. Hurry up, kid, were late now.' With a bound and three rowdy shouts the boys rushed headlong up the stairs to Glen's room where he quickly jumped into his Sunday suit. However. all his looks of unconcem towarda the mirror could not hide the fact that he knew just how handsome he looked. Aw, don't spruce up so, kid. You're not going to queen tonight. are you? uSure!

During the hurried process Glen glanced very often at the glass. and with a Flnal brush at his attempt at a pompa- dour he was ready and the boys rushed downstairs. tBye, Mumsie, and with a hang of the front door, which reaounded long afterwards, they were gone. The school where Bible Class was held was only three blocks from Glen's home, but when the boys got there it was ten minutes late. Let's slip in easy. kids, and we can sit in the back with- out Mr. Brown's hawling us out, t was the admonition of one of the more experienced boys. With a hurried glance around the room, Glen made sure that Beatrice was there, and then began the usual boyish pranks. Bet you can't hit Hefen with a paper wad. Jack. Bang! And Jack proceeded to take the dare. hitting the mark hard. The result was an audible giggle from the front comer seat, which silenced the boys for a few minutes. Say. Glen. better write a note to Bee and see if you can't take her home tonight. came a teasing voice. Aw, shut up, Smootey. ain't I got a date already? came back the conhdent answer. During the evening Glen had informed every boy in the hack of the room. either by egotistical little notes. or by audibly whispered boasts that he was gaiu' tn take Bee home tonighth These had met with varied renpunses, some doubtful. some jealously sullen, some teasing. and the xest non-helieving.

A hubbub of children's voices was heard almost before the sound of the Amen died away, and a bustle of putting on coats and hats for the cold walk home followed. The small boys, according to their custom, formed an entrench- mem along each side of the door to wait for the girls. Glen took this splendid opportunity to inform every other sixth grader as he went out that he was in luck tonight. Bet my last cent you get a turn-down, came the de- parting shot of one jealous little fellow, as he went out to join the crowd which was forming in the street. They had planned to watch and wait for Glen, and maybe get to tease him all the way home. Glen tried to look unconcerned at these little remarks. but they evidently unnerved him for the moment. Aw. :ion't fool yerself that way. i've got this date cinched. sure. came back confidently. boastfully from Glen. Straightening his cap. he waited impatiently. for now must of the other boys had gone off. and with them had gone a big part of Glen's courage. Finally came a bobbing, curly head among the crowd. and Glen got a smile and a little speech all ready. As the crowd came through the doorway and when Beatrice was almost there. Glen looked out the door with a triumphant wink at two boys standing on the lower step. and with a Silong boys, wish me luck, he turned and stepped up to Beatrice. But Beatrice was sedately walking past with Harry. scarcely tieigning to glance Glen's way. Coshi came the surprised and shamefaced exclamav tion from Clenie lips, and he slipped quickly out in the dark. away from the crowd A general laugh went up from the crowd of boys waiting in the street. and Glen slipped off down the alley. meditating bitterly upon the ficklenesa of the weaker sex.

The day was very warm. the streets were dusty and tiirty, and the small, brightly colored, various hued houses were set together so closely that there seemed to be not enough air even for breath. At the end of the street were several vacant lots. covered with dust and dry weeds and iittered with rubbish Mrs. Beck a young settiement worker. who had many bright dreams of making life happier for these poor peopie, came slowly up the street. The dirt and heat so oppressed her that she felt as if it were of no use to try to help any longer, Suddenly she heard loud screams as of some one in deep trouble. The sound seemed to be coming from a house dirh ier and more miserable looking than the rest, and so she hastened toward it. Upon entering she found little Peter Glazounow. a boy ten years old lying on the ruvie bed. screaming. The mother stood by him wringing her hands. and talking excitedly in Russian and broken English. The father and two small boys were watching him from the other side of the bed. What is the trouble? Mrs. Beck asked several times. but received no intelligible answer. Seeing that the boy was suftering terribly. she started to examine him but was pushed back by the mother. Turning to one of the small boys she told him to hurry for the social settlement doctor. As soon as the boy had gone she again demanded to know what was the matter with Pete. Mrs. Clazounow. who was undisturbed. said. Pete hurt. i cure him like the man said. Whenever anybody is hurt, pour medicine on him and it will make him well. This? holding up a bottle. His some medicine he gave me. i put it on Pete and soon he will be well. He be cured in a minute and it stop hurting, Hthy, Mrs. Glazounowi that is alcohol and it will make him worse. You should not have used that, answered Mrsr Beck. Soon the doctor appeared and in a few words Mrs. Beck explained the situation to him. When he started to examine the boy. Mrs, Glazounow pushed him away, crying, You kill my boyl Leave him alonel' Leave him alone! Thn'ty-Flvn Gaeruleb. 1916 Gaerulez. 1916 Gently Mrs. Beck explained to the excited woman that the doctor would help Pete, and told how he had cured little Eva Zabmsky. Finally. much against her willt she allowed the doctor to examine the suEering boy. After a few min- utes, with a grave face. he turned to Mrs. Glazounaw and said gently, Your boy in very ill. The acid in the can he found. and the medicine in the bottle. together. have killed some of the nerves of his body. and it will take much care to make him well again. We will take him to the hospital.' The Russian woman had understood only half of what had been said but did understand his last word. In her clis- trust of America she had gained the idea that a hospital was some terrible place. She believed that Peter could be cured through her religion and through religious rites. When she heard the word hospital she turned on the doctor savagely. and screamed. UYou want to kill my boyl You can't! You canitl He won't go to American hospital but will stay by me. and my God will cut: him.' Then she broke into 3 Hood 0f Russian. After much explanation and urging, the mother con- sented to allow the doctor to come twice a day if Peter 1e- mained at home. Every clay fur a week the doctor came. leaving medi- cine and attenciing to the injuted boy carefully. But all of his efforts seemed of little avail. Peter was no better. Mrs. Glazounow refused to keep the doors and windows open, and to give the boy air. She paid little attention t0 the doctor's instructions and soon he began to mistrust her. On the seventh day Mrs. Beck, passing by the home. found Mrs. Glazuunow pouring Peter's medicine on the ground. When she attempted to remonstrate, Mm. Glazounowt with but a wordt went into the house. That evening when the doctor came, his knock received no answer. Upon his second knack he heard Mrs. Glazounow say. What you want? I have come to ace Peter. Let me come in.' You can't see Peter! You been making him worse! Soon you kill him! You can't never to come see him no more. The good God will to make him to be well if you let him alone The doctor. seeing that it was of no use to say anything else, as every word he said only macle the woman angrier. went over to the settlement house and called Mrsi Back Then they went back to the home. At First Mrs; Glazounow rem fused to allow them to come in but Mrs. Beck talked to her in her own language and seemed so sympathetic that at last she permitted them to come inside. Then patiently. Mrs. 'Phirty-Six Beck explained again to her. Mrs. Glazounow, the Ameri- cans are good They want to help you and make Peter well. The doctor is good. He cures lots of little boys and girls that are sick. if you will let him come and will do as he says. Peter will soon be well and happy again. Won't you let him come? ' No! No! The American doctor will kill my boyl Leave Pete alone and the God of my fathers will make him well again. No matter what she said. Mrs. Beck could receive no other answer, and at last in despair she sent the doctor for the police. The doctor went to the police station and explained the case to them. Two oH-icers were sent with a wagon to take the bay to the county hospital. When they arrived at the little Russian home, Mrs. Glazounow refused to allow them to come in. Mrs. Beck explained as kindly and clearly as she possibly could that Peter would have to go to the hospital, but it was of no use. Mrs. Glazounow began to threaten to kill Mrs. Beck, and to tell of her hatred for the Americans. When the off.- cexs interfered, very sullenly and with an ugly look on her face, she allowed them to enter. because she feared the law more than anything else in the world. and knew that she must obey it. Several times while Peter was being made ready for the trip to the hospital, Mrs. Glazounow grabbed a knife and started toward the ofhcers but each time she laid it down the fear of the ofEcers evidently overpowering her. The ofEcers picked Peter up with the mattress and bed- clothing. carried him out and placed him in the wagon. As they did not need all of the hed-clothing. one of the officers brought a quilt into the house. When he came in Mrs. Glaz- ounow looked First at the empty bed where Peter had lain and then through the window where he lay pale and wan. and then broke into a volley of angry Russian words. She ran toward Mrs. Beck, who had lingered to talk with her, picked her up as if she had been a child. and threw her nub doors. Then she turned her attention to the officer who had tried to keep her from hurting Mrs. Beck and when he put out his hand to stop her. she bit it as hard as she possibly could. Quickly the officer ran out of the house and to the wagon where the other uRieer and Mrs. Beck. who was unhurt. waited with Peter. After considering what should be done they decided it would be best to take Peter immediately to the hospital. as he was auEering. Then they would come back and try to make Thim-.sm-m Mrs. Clazounow understand. thinking that by this lime she would have become calm and more ready to listen to reason, Peter was taken to the hospital. placed in a cool, com- fortable bed. and the necessary treatment given him. After this he fell asleep. already looking better. M t ., When he was thus comfortably Fixed. Mrs. Beck and WK one of the officers started back to the Russian home; The t ofEcer whose hand had been bitten refused to go back, say- ing, I wouldn't go back there for anything. That woman is crazy. She'd be sure to kill you if she got a chance just as she said. She hates Americans something Fierce. i can tell you. She don't deserve to know anything about her kid. 'But we ought to take the bed clothing back anyway. or sheill think we stole it. interposed the other oH-icer. 'iWell. let her. lt'li serve her right, Anybody that wont listen to reason deserves what's coming to her. But the poor woman doesn't understand. She thinks she is doing what in best. And, oh. think how unhappy she must be. To her, her boy is worse than dead. She distrusts Americans go much. Poor womanl It makes me almost cry to think of it. I am going if no one else will, answered Mrs. Beck4 i'l'm with you. said the second officer. WelL you're welcome to your job. I hope you don't get killed, and the other officer walked OH. nursing hi3 wounded hand. When Mrs. Beck and the 051cc: arrived at the home and knocked upon the door. MrsV Giazounow silently opened it and allowed them to take the bed-ciothing in and place it on the bed, but when they turned to speak to her she cried. nYou have stolen and kiHed my boy. I shall never see him again. I wiil kill you and throw you out in the street for the dogs to eat. If you had left Pete here at home. he would have got well. The Good God would have cured him. but now you have killed him. i will kill youl Having said this. she pulled from under her apron a large. murderous-iooking knife. and raising it in one hand she ran toward them. They both Hecl from the house and shut and held the door so that she could not follow and hurt them. Then they considered what should be done. The officer wished to go uptown, get some more officers. and arrest her. But Mrs. Beck pleaded with him not to do this because she felt very sorry for Mrs. Glazounow, and realizing how she felt, she could sympathize with her. She remembered the time when she too was unaccualorIIEd to American ways and how indignant she had felt at some things which people did. t NIH i wwryl, Th iJ'LVA EiKhl Now she underalood and knew that these things were for the best. At last the ocheI consented to allow Mrs. Back to try once more to subdue Mrs. Glazounow. By this time she had become calmer so Mrsl Beck called through the door, Mrs. Clazounow. wonlt you listen to me and let me tell you where Peter is, and when he is com- ing home. and all about him? At this Mrs. Glazounow opened the door and said. HWell. tell me and I won't kill you for awhile. anyway. Then Mrs. Beck started to tell her where Peter was and how she could get to him. At First she did not seem angry and listened eagerly but when Mrs. Beck said. You can't see Peter though. unless youe-f' she broke in angrily with. HYou say I could see Peter if I would consent to listen to you. now you say I can't! You lie! Now l will really kill you I! The officer quickly pushed her inside the room and shut the door, this time being determined that he would telephone for another officer and arrest her. Again Mrs. Beck pleaded with the officer to give her another chance and at last he :5 luctantly' consented. All this time Mrs. Glazounow was talking excitedly in Russian, saying she would kill them and calling curses down on them. Mrs. Glazounow, Mrs. Glazounow. ' called Mrs. Beck, but was only answered with 3 Hood of unintelligible words. She waited awhile until all on the other side of the door was very still and then she called again, to he answered with the oft repeated threat of I'll kill you. Then Mrs. Beck said in a stern tone, Mrs. Clazounow. you must listen to me. Do you want ever to see your boy again? If you do. you must not kill this man and me her cause we are the only ones who know where your boy is. If you kill us, you will never be able to find him. So you see you had better come with us to see Peter. You can see where he is and how he is feeling. then if you want to kill us. you may, Mrs. Beck said this last knowing that if Mrs. Glazounow once saw how comfortable Peter was and how much happie! than he was at home, she would no longer be angry. After a long silence she said that she woulcl go with them and not harm them till she saw Peter. Before Mrsl Bank would open the door she made her throw her knife out of the window. When the door was opened they saw a very different looking woman. Before, she had been very angry and looked like some strong. wild animal. Now she looked only very terrified and unhappy. Her pale, unhappy lace made both Thirty-Nine Cberuleb. 1916 Cherulea. 1916 Mrs. Beck and the ofiicer really sorry for her. and all the way to the hospital they were very kind. On her arrival at the hospital she looked surprised to see how comfortable everyone looked. Her face began to brighten. for she had expected to see Peter miserable and unhappy. When she saw how comfortable the others were she began to think that perhaps Mrs, Beck had told her the truth. When she saw Peter smiling at her she threw herself clown by the side of the bed and cried for a long while. When she had Finally stopped crying. Peter told her how happy he was and that much of his pain was gone. Just then the doctor came in and said, qu3. Glazounow, don't you think Peter looks almost well? He will be able to go home with you in about three weeks and you can come to see him every day while he is here. Then in a little while he will be just as well as ever. Mrs. Glazounow fell on her knees before them and with tears said again and again, You are good Americans. not mean to poor Russian. I had fraids of Americanst I have an awful sad because I thought you make my boy dead but you make him to be well. I make thanks to you. I wish I help you good Americans. I have gladness if you would to let me serve you. I want only to help you. for you were good to me. Kindly the doctor told her that they were only glad to help her and that if she wished to help them, all she would need to do would be to tell other Russian women who dis- trusted Americans. how the Americans had helped her. A little over thtee weeks from this day Mu. Beck came up the clusty street and knocked at the door of Mrs. Glaz- ounow's house. This time the door was instantly opened and Mrs. Clazounow smiled a delighted welcome. Peter, entirely unlike the boy of three weeks ago, sat in a big chair. In answer to Mrs. Beck's questions as to how he was feeling Mrsi Glazounow said, My Peter in nearly well. He would maybe to be dead and you good Americans not had a kindv neas to make poor Russian boy well. Now I want only to make other Russian women to like American; I want only to help the Americans who make me have so great a gladncas.

Party 70m- THE- NON-DOLLABLL COLLAR BUTTON By Joseph Hickox. '16 When I entered Radcliffe's room, he was under the Bed. Although a very ominous growling was issuing from that di- rection I knew that he was no: attempting suicide he was having too good a time in life for that: not had he gone crazy? it takes a smart man to do that. In fact. I knew exactly why he was there. for what else would a man be under the bed for except on the trail of a fugitive collarbutton? As a Inat- ter of Fact I had just had a similar experience, only mine had taken me lo the far comer of the room under the wash-stand. Picking up a magazine I sat down to wait, He Hnally issued forth a victor. very red in the face and not in the best humor. Chasing a collar-button under the bed is not calcu- iated to improve one's temper. especialiy when he is wearing a dress suit. Congratulations. I greeted him. looking up from the magazine. HOh. don't mention it, ' he replied. But I got an idea while I was under therelu I dropped the magazine in surprise. Cliff was in the habit of getting ideas in the same manner as most people get the measles or the mumps once or twice in a life-time. and even then he dingt take them very hard. INN! y-Two I'm going to invent a nonvrollable collar-button, and be- sides doing the worId a favor and making a Fortune, I'll get some pieasure out of life. This having to chase under the bed or the bureau. or the trunk every time a man wants to put on a collar Is enough to make a man a subject for a pad- ded cell. I ' Fur goodness' sake. don't try it! I admonished. It wasn't that l didnit want the world to benefit from the inven- tion, nor did I envy his making a fortune. I would no doubt have got some good from both, but I had in mind a relative who tried to invent something once. I don't remember what it was. but I do know that he became quite bald and spent a fortune. part of which I might have otherwise gotten. He has room and board free from the state now. and is still able to perform certain kinds of manual labor such as singing. which he does generally about i1230 R M. They say he is a privileged character and has a room to himself. But the fam- ily doctor told us later it wasn't all due to worry over the in- vention; it sort of ran in the family, he said. I didn't tell Cliff of this; there was no use giving him a subject for conversation which might pmve distasteful, al- though the man was indeed a very distant relative. Let's see that magazine. He hngered through the advertisements until he came to the Patents Wanted section. His Huger stopped under one that suited him. The ad was conhdent that its reader was an inventive genius in the dormant. He was to fill the appended blank plainly with his name and address and mail it to Dept. F. D. QA of an establishedefurAthirty-ycars Firm in the national capital. He was to receive by return mail some very valuable hooks among which was uHow To Invent What. There Is Left To Invent. Cliff had the invention on his mind that night. He always walked in his sleep when he was thinking of something, and sometimes I believe it is just as well that he didnit think of something very often. On this tour he knocked the pitcher 0E the washstand, the water of which, leaking through the Hoor. loosened a large, round piece of plastering directly above my head, which kept me in agony the rest of the night for fear it would fall down into my eyes. Two weeks later the library arrived, and also a very long letter signed half way across the page with a stub pen and green ink by the patent attorneyea very dignified look ing letter indeed. Furty-Thrve kH'I The attorney was certain that Cliff was an inventive genv ius-his very handwriting showed that he had character, Hi5 inventive powers were to be developed with the aid of the company, and how glad the Fn'm was to do the world this service. and to pIease send a drawing of the invention as soon as possible so that he couId get some benefit from his inven- tion before the war market died down. and how sure they were that a patent would be granted, and to please enclose $3.50 for searching the records. postage, etc. CliE opened the library and brought forth How To In- vent It.' It was really a very pretty book; cream-colored cover ttimmed with gold, and with Ietters in green. The gold rubbed off somewhat on ones hngers and made him have a pIeaaant, prosperous feeling. The inside pages were fresh from the press and had that peculiar odor which people like. although it sometimes make! them sort of bilious. Anyway, it always did me. A great many inventians were listed there. all in alpha- betical order, and from the number one could not help but feel that the world was very backward in the matter of in- ventiuns. Cliff got busy in a very business-Iike manner. He bought a drawing outfit which totalled, I think. eleven dollars or more. I must confess that his soaring spirit was somewhat contagious. I might be an inventive genius touI And while I canIt say that I had the inventing fever, I did have a debt. The twoehits I had borrowed from a friend had been accruing interest at an amazing rate since March two years ago. I always suspicioned his method of bookkeeping. but when I asked for an explana- tion he showed me a very convincing set of Figures and said he had a method sf bookkeeping all his own. which I had no reason to doubt. The matter began to bother me nights. and I decided to raise the money somehow. I took the 'IHow book, and. having no particular choice, I began at the beginning of the list. Andirona.efancy. ornamental headed the list but dingt sound good to me, I have recollections of having stumbled over one of these one night when I went down stairs to kick the cat out of the pantry. I never could see much use for such furniture. Ant paste.-a sure kiIIern was next. Ant paste and rough-on-rats and such are repugnant to me. I made a sand- wich of ant paste once, thinking I had a variety of spreadable Swiss cheese. The consequences turned me forever against both the spreadable variety and any form of ant paste Then, Fm LV-Four rats who have taken a successful dose of poisoned raisins or plaster of Paris take such cut-of-therway places to die in that one would about as soon have them around as to have to crawl down a partition trying to Find them after they have passed away.

Barbets' toolieBut these were such small things and triHing. I wanted to invent something worth while. like a locomotive. or a Deisel engine, or a battleship. I decided to wait awhile and develop my ideas. Seeing that I was getting restless. Cliff got another idea; it was of the generaI type. Take that encyclopaedia and look up the history of con Iar-buttons from the first. After a great deal of searching and researching I found the topic Here it is. I exclaimed, somewhat proud of myself fol having been able to Hnd it. Here are four pages of cuts showing ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic tablets and Babylonian cuneiform cylinders explaining the origin of the coIIar-hutton. Read them to me, he said. casuaiiy. without Iooking up. If I had not been certain of his preuccupied state of mind, I should certainly have thrown the book at him. I found the translation and read how the antiquated king of Nineveh had used a siktayeHek-iIi-tebilmoudes which. in a way, corresponds to Our moniem version of collarehutlon. It also gave an ac- count of how one of the Pharaoh's grandchildren had a case of the cholic or cholera, the record was uncertain. from having awailowed one of these; of how Mrs Mahan-aI-Shad gave her husband a card full for his seven thousandth birthday, where- upon he immediately committed suicide; and various other facts of vaIue to one who is inventing a nan-roIIahIe Variety. CIift finished the drawings, and Sent them. with the three fifty for searching the recordm postage. etc.. to Washington. In two weeks he received a letter saying that the patent would be granlea for $50, which amount he succeeded in enveigling from his aweetheart's father. Pmmptly in two weeks the pat- ent paper arrived, a very nice Iooking sheet which crackled when it was bent, and which had some more of the gold paint on it. With the paper was a working model of a None roIIabIe made according to specifications.

How often weary travelers have walked and walked toward some shining lake, until they could almost hear the ripple of the tiny waves on the pebbly shore. After the heat of the day dies away. Heecy white clouds appear in the sky. As the sun sinks low. the colors of the sky are constantly changing. A light pink is fuel. thrown on the Healing clouds, This grows to a brilliant red, and the whole heaven is bathed in crimson. Gradually the glow fades to a bioodrreci orange; then the goid-edged clouds of pink. lavender, and yeiiow. sail softly down below the horizon in the path of the sun, and slowly. out of the fragrant twilight. grows the calm. beautiful starlight of a desert night.

Nine-ly Bygone; of the Class of 1916 Four yeara ago the class of l9l6 entered Long Beach High School as unsophisticated tFI freshmen. Think, folks. mostly teachers, how those little tots have arisen in dignity in just four years! if in doubt, underclassmen. abuut this dignity. ask a senior. He soon ten you he possesses this ethereal quality, and what is better than personal testimony? But now far a Iittic bit of ancient, mediaeval, modern, and American history. In I9l2vl 3 Edwin Miner served as Class president, Ger: trude Willey as viceipresident, Alice Crowe as secretary, and Charles DeCoudres as treasurex. Miss Claudia Clark. Miss Gee. and Mr. Newcomb were helpful chaperones, adviserg, and all. In athletics the main feature was the success of the girls. They made the school championship in basketball, much to the surprise of their elders. In '9' 3-I4 the following uHScers were First elected: president, Ellsworth Cooke; viceipresident. Eleanor Warner: secretary. Louis Yeomans; treasurer. Robert ReynoIdSI Later Aivah Andrews was elected to Gil the Dmce of president as Ellsworth Cooke left school, and Andrew Dunlap EIIed the sec retary's vacancy left by Louis Yeomans. Miss Bush substie tuted for Miss Gee as clam teacher. The girls again were vicl toxious in. basketball. In 19I4-l 5 the Class was realized to be more popular in dramatics than in athletics by the great. success of the junior play, Prunellal The officers for the year were elected as follows: president. Alice Crowe; vicezpresident, Graydon Beeka; secretary. Laura Batkin; treasurer, Alvah Pickett. Miss Bush, Miss Patterson, and Mr. Newcomb were competent ciass teachers. Championships were won by the class in girls' basketball, water polo, and a tie was made with the seniors in intereclass football. Edward Brainard was elected as commis- sioner of athletics. In I9l5v16 the class of 1916 reached the height of its prominence. It ol-Ecers were: president. Beverly Anderson, until resignation. when Graydon HoEman was elected; vice- preaident, Charles DeCoudres; secretary. Gladys Beeks, and treasurer. Boyd Gerner. Mia: Bush and Mr. Newcomh were again chosen as class teachers. The commission this year was all elected from the Class of 19l6: Commissioner of Athletics, Earl Thomson. Commissioner of Literary Activities, Sherman Schull. Ninety-One Chemleb. 1916 Commissioner of Welfare. Boyd Garner. Commissioner of Entertainment. Mildred Coleman. Commissioner of Finance. J. Alvah Andrews. Secretary, Graydon Hellman. On account of necesaary changes, after several left town, other elections were called and the following places changed: Commissioner of Athleticst Arthur Anderson, Commissioner of Literary Activities. Alfred Price. Commissioner of Welfare. Alice Crowe. The boys won the baseball championship. The girls in- deed made themselves famous by again winning in inter-class basketball. this being the fourth victory. The senior play. Rutherford 6: Son, given just before Christmas, was a suc- cess. and great dramatic ability was shown by those who took part. And so. with a few more thrills, frills, and bills. the life of the clam! of '915 will be over. The life itself may go. as do all things worth while but its spirit,-the feeling for which it stood. its goodrfellowship,eshail last in the hearts of all those who knew it. STRANGER THAN FICTION 1926 Well, Mary. said Robert Reynolds, as he lazily stretch: ed himself in the big steamer chair on the Empress: of Russia, one week out of Hong Kong, life is stranger than the mind can conceive. I had never suspected that you had been preacha ing to the heathen Chinese for the past five years. And all that time in Shanghai, too, and you were living within ten blocks of me, replied Mary Anderson. And here we meet for the first time on our way home to America, lsn't this ocean travel just grand? lt surely is. lthink I could live this dream forever. You remember Charles DeCoudres? It was only last week that he called at the embassy. Hels been touring the world in his private yacht: he told me of his experiences. how he had met the sultan of Turkey. the president of Germany, and other celebrities. l'I wonder if he came across any of the old grads of Long Beach High? Oh, yes. Grayclon HDEman is a grave digger at. San Pedro. There is a regular combine there: Frank McCrea is a doctor. Andy Dunlap an undertaker. Alvah Andrews a NintQY-TWB preacher, and Hoffman completes the squaref' Somewhat gruesome. ' Yes. indeed. it is surprising though how the bunch has scattered. Now. there's Lura May Horton who is touring Europe as a prima donna: there's Ernie Sohn. manager of a bean-baking factory in Boston: there's Alice Crowe. the society editor of the Compton Wuf-Wuf: ard thereis Travis Shelton. editor of the Ladies' Home Journal. iiDid he say anything of Brick Short? Yes. he's collecting antiquities in Egypt. And what do you think has happened to Don Lane? uWhy, l have no idea. What? uHe's principal of the kindergarten department in Long Beach schools. Phil Whiting i5 manager of the Century Theater. Mae Wheeler is a demonstrator of Dutch Cleanser in Persia. Mildred Coleman is a slum reformer in Seattle. Douglas Slrumsoe is the commander of the army in Haiti, ju Hickox is a quack doctor in Bermuda and Henriette Noble is Mrae. at Newport society leader. The old hunch is certainly scald tered. It makes me almost sad to think of lhEm; I wish I could see them all again. i suppose you know that Miss Bush is teaching Esperanto in the University of British Columbia, and Mr. Newcomb is head of the architectural department at the University of Illinois? Well, we'll soon see dear old America: i guess we'll be strangers in that new land. Look at the sunset out there over the big ocean. Let's just sit and watch it and say nothing. And round them many a Flowing range of waters buoyed their rolling bark, And rapt through many a rosy change The twilight melted into dark. W NinetY-Tlu'ec Tacky Day The seniors had a tacky day this year which provoked laughter from all the students and teachers. They came to school dressed as tramps, old maids. little kids, and in various other apparel. We do enjoy a lark once in a while.

Not oniy was it Our duty to care for the newcomers but also tn uphold the dignity and reputation of the class of 'lSt Truly, if school spirit counts anything. the sophomores carried off First honors. Nor was it all school spirit, for it took only the leadership of Franw cis Hawks, as- president. to awaken the liveliest claim spirit in the short history of the class. Having thus found ourselves sophomores, we turned our attention to athletics, Here we were successful, in that we beat the freshmen in football. baseball. and basketball. but were defeated by the lordly seniors in the fatter two games by only a small margin. In football, however. after the rough and tumble game between the sophs and the fresh. in which members of both teams were injured. the school board put an end to our hopes for further victories. How- ever. the sophomores are not so much to be congratulated upon their victories, as a class, as upon the number of men that made the First teams. We are proud to count among our number manv of the stars. of the interscholastic teams. In water polo and swimming our men put up a good tht. but were unable to carry off the honors. Debate has received so little support that we have been unable to put out a team. It is not that we lack plenty of good material, but no one will try out. It may be that they feel sorry for the freshmen and do not like to show them up. Because of the bashfulness of the sophomore boys, the social spirit in the Class has not been permitted to develop itself to the extent of a party or a picnic. Nevertheless. we hope, before many more days shall have passed away, to hold a party surpassing our fondest ambitions. Our records. this year, may not appear so wonderful, but we feel sure that it is only the lull before the storm, that will burst forth in the glory of greater achievements in the year to come, -Dewey Strickler, 'IS.

Ulw IIIAIHII'I'J Eight Our First Year On one beautiful morning in the sunny month of Sep- tember, nearly 250 children. very small in the sight of seniors, wandered excitedly through the hails of Long Beach High School. It was a wonderful day, and outside on the lawns which surrounded the school the dew was still on the grass. The birds sang in the trees. All nature. that day. put forth her most glorious invitation to the children inside who had left the nursery forever. They had wandered forth, unmindfui of nature. to be one of the four units in the whirl of a large school. i Who can describe the hearts of those boys and girls. as with bright eyes. they made out a course of study. little realiz- ing. then. the hard work and experience they would have been through at the end of the semester? After registration day they hastened home with happy hearts to dream of what their school career was to be. Finally Monday came. How smail and insignificant the freshmen felt. as they mingled with zeniors and juniors! Some felt the Very word freshmen written on their faces. Others held their heads as proudly as seniots. After several days of getting settled, the freshmen began to get accustomed to the ways of the schooi. There were many things to be learned. many rules to obey. but finally they were headed on the right track. They elected oHicers and in class meetings certain ones tried to show the class the necessity of clean school spirit. scholarship. and good conduct in assemblies. The days passed rapidly, bringing to 501116. joy and en couragement. to others, disappointment and dissatisfaction. Nevertheless. the class as a whole. went through the hardeat year of their school days successfully, having a good percent age of scholarship society members Perhaps the class has not done as much toward winning honors for the school as other classes have. yet we are re solved to start out in the sophomore year with higher aspira- tions to accomplish greater things, eBeulah Byrum Our Appreciation The freshmen class wishes to thank the teachers and senior advisers who have helped us so untiringly during the year. We surely appreciate your willingness to advise and point paths through the difficulties that have arisen. .43. B.

A play is to be given about the last of May. the proceeds to be used in the interests of the annual senioz-alumni baH at HoleI Virginia. Interest always centers about the members of the last alumni class, and their individual careers after the date of graduation. Variety and unusualness mark the choice of voca- tions, avacations, and professions of the graduates of the class of I915.

The session this yea: has been the most satisfactory from every viewpoint. The total applications for entrance totaled 863, while the number taking, consistently, one or more. courses reached 748. The youngest student was 15 years old and the oldest TI. The older students were more regular in attendance than the young peeple. The foreign class, although not nearly so large as in Former years, was by far the best foreign class that we have had. and Was able to read. during the latter part of the year. Dr. Hunts UCalifornia the Golden. There were IS teachers employed during the year and nearly every department was represented by one or more courses. The work, of course. is planned from the practical standpoint and eliminates a great deal of what is usually in, cluded in the average high school work. but these courses are designed for those who haven't the time to pursue long drawn out courses, and often undergo privalions and make great sao- riHces to come at all. In the vocatianal work, the products wilL in many cases, discount the average high school work. due perhaps. to the previous practical experience of the student. The faculty exV presses the keenest interest in the students with whom they work and the greatest satisfaction in the results obtained, Of course. there is no discipline problem. as. each one comes for a very deFmitc and practical reason.

The class of '16 is the last oi the old timers. Perhaps we may not even consider ourselves in that class. but at least we remember the glorious times when every one gave his best for his Alma Mater. We have seen the enrollment grow from twelve hundred to almost sixteen hundred. We have greeted the incoming freshmen many timest Perhaps there will be but few freshmen classes entering again. The buildings are so crowded that something must be done immediately to relieve the congestion, and to insure to each student the attention and accommodations that are his right. The plan of building new intermediate Schools and add- ing the junior college to the high school in being discussed. Perhaps there will be a new high school. However, a change is imminent. so that Long Beach High will never again be the school that it has been. But this does not mean that our school is not going to re- main the hnest in the state, We all agree that Long Beach High has made a name for herself. She has produced athletes and debaters who have not only brought home cups and pen- nants. but who have also established for us a reputation for clean play and good fellowship. and a name to which all honor is due and given. And it has not always been those on interscholastic teams who have added to our glory. The work of every individual student, anti of one of the best faculties in California has made Long Beach a school ranked in the honor roll not only of Stan- ford and the University of California, but also of the older colleges of the east. The commissions have done excellent work in success, fully working out the experiment of commiaaiun government. They are to be commended heartily for the ability with which they have handled the problems of seltegovemment. This is one of the ways in which we are growing. May self-govern- ment be developed to its fullest possibilities in our school. The Girls' League. formed last year. and the Junior Chamber of Commerce. recently organized, are institutions which promise much in helping toward our betterment. The Girls' League has had more time to prove what it can do. Under the leadership of Helen lredell. with Miss Clarke and Miss Paine as teacher advisers, the girls have found places for themselves. and a noble: view of womanhood has been pree sented to us all. Um: llu Iu'l I'i'il Tw I', ll Ly -Th I'l. u Cbeulee. 1916 We want to congratulate and thank all those of faculty and students who have given of their best in making our school what it is today. They have established a standard of pure democracy and high idealism, toward which it behooves every student of yesterday, today, and tomorrow to strive. Students. it is your task to uphold this standard in the years to come. There will be probiems to meet every day which involve the honor and high standing at the school. The constant wail of the post graduate or alumnus is. Wheze has school spirit gone? We do not believe that school spirit is gone. But there is something wrong. and vitally wrong. toot with the attitude of a school when capable people refuse to accept positions of trust and responsibility, The fundamental cause of this trouble is that in so large a school. each one is prone to shift responsibility to another. We look with expectation to the larger Long Beach High School. It will do things we have never been able to doi When each student remembers that he is an important factor in the success of our high school, that his every act casts a light of glory or a blight of shame on the school. and that his best is the least he should give: when each one gives a welcome hand to the newcomer, a word of encouragement to his classmates, and a handshake of congratulation to the one who has done something worth while; when every one pulls his oar with a steady stroke, and all pull togethermthen, and then only, will the craft of Long Beach High shoot to the front. Mr. Burchnm The genial personaiity of our principal. Mr. Burcham, has made itself felt in all the departments of our school. Do we appreciate him? We do. indeed. Our Superintendent The Student Body of our school considers Mr. Stephens the best superintendent in the county. and one of our best fliends. We rejoice that he will be with us another four years. The Board of Education The Board of Education is especially democratic this year. it has shown a liberality to our Student Body which is appree ciated by each member of that body. In dealing with prob- lems concerning our school, they have proved themselves broad minded and fair, The Office Force The attendance this year far exceeds that of previourx years. The duties and responsibilities of the office farce have nm- nm-mm 'rwi-nLyJMm grown in proportion Service is their mono, and HWY 5 : workers from the word Go. Long Beach High can boast of one hundred per cent efficiency in its oche force. Min Bailey The editor wishes to express her most sincere thanks to Miss Bailey, faculty adviaen for her helpful advice. kindly Con- sideration. and patience with an amateur's mistakes. Among those who have helped in making Caerulea a suc' cess this year are the judges.

CCIHWIN nnuk En-lnllml Manna One Hundred Twenty-Fi Ye 1H m +1183;qu Long Beach High School is proud of its debaters this year. and well it may be. for though losing last year some of the best debaters Long Beach has ever known, it has gained others quite as good. Astonishing though it may seem, with one exception, no member of any of the teams has ever before had any exper- ience in interscholastic debating. and this means a great deal when we. consider with what experienced schools they have contested. Much praise is due to the coach. Mr. McNair. Never has he been too busy to give to the debaters unsparingly of his time and thought. Not only has he coached the debates constructively but he has also supervised all the training in delivery. We agree with the debater who was recently heard saying, You can't find another like him. Edwin Murphy, the debating manager, has been most successful. Never has he lost an opportunity to boost debat- ing, and his tireless efforts as both dehater and manager have won for him the admiration of the whole school. The first debate was the triangle State League contest. held November 19th. between Lou Angeles. Hollywood. and Long Beach; the question, HResolved that California Should Adopt the Commission Form of Government. The result was both a defeat and a Victory. Laurence Updike and Alfred Price, upholding the afhrm- ative here with L. A. were defeated by a small wore. though they gave L. A. a close. hard fight. The negative was upheld at Hollywood by Clair McCord and Andy Dunlap. and when the glad news came to the anxv 0n?

On the evening of December 3rd our first debate in the Southern California League was held here with Hollywood. Our unequalled team. Lucile McDougai and Graydon Hoff- man, as if in prophecy of their second debate. unanimously won the negative on the jitney bus question. Our second triangle debate in the State League held jan- uary 7th. found us losers. however. not by a unanimous acorei It is interesting to note that in every case this year our defeats have been split decisions. while our victories have been un- animous. This is an unusually fine record. Monte Evans and Laurence Updike upheld the tariff question with Santa Mon- ica. while Andy Dunlap and Edwin Murphy won the afhrmw tive here against L. A. Poly. January 24th marks another victory for Lucile McDougal and Graydon Hoffman. upholding the negative side of the question of compulsory military training in the high schools. against Alhambra, in the second Southern California League contest. Our friends. the Alhamburgers. ' must certainly be praised for the spirit they showed that night, and for the grace with which they accepted the defeat at the hands of our dainty little, unsuspectingly voicanic girl, and our so quietly powerful Graydon. The third debate in the Southern California League. April 6th, at L. A. High School, was one of the best debates of the year. it surely was one of the hold your breath kind. Lou Angeiee High defeated Andy Duniap and Alfred Price on the question of government ownership of the telephone and teieu graph, by the sum total of one-third of one point. which ties at this time the race for the championship of Southern Calid forniai Since this book goes to press before the Final contest, Which will again be between L. A. High School and Long Beach, here's to the championship and the debaters who 90 worthily deserve it! Such has been the record of our debating this year and great is the debt of our school to these, our debaters. Too. they have not only been our debaters but as we look at their names we Find that they have been active leaders in various other activitiesV and we marvel at their ability. It has been decided that Lucile McDougal and Graydon Hoffman will be our representatives in the final debate be tween L. A. and Long Beach to decide the championship of the Southern California League. This last contest will be held at some disinterested school about the last of May. May One Hundred Twmut y- Eight we have the beat of support for these two who are going to try their best to bring us the championship. Alfred Price. 'l6. our commissioner of Literary Activi- ties has distinguished himself as a most forceful debater- Everything considered, he is probably the best debate: in the school at the present time. While he played in hard luck this year. it was the opinion of practically all who heard his masterly discussion at L. A. that he easily deserved hrst place. L. A. students are still mystified to know how Long Beach did not get the decision. Graydon Hoffman. '16, has judicial poise to be envied. He is so reasonable sensible; his arguments 50 sound and powerful; our leader, in so many things. Long Beach Iiigh wi mourn your loss! Monte Evans, 'l6. has proved himself to be not only a chemist capable of winning a achelarahip. but also a dehater af exceptional ability. He has a most keen, analytical mind. and excepting Alfred Price, his arguments are more perfectly worked out than those of any of our other debaters. Andrew Dunlap, ' I6. has won renown this year in many activities. it scarcely seems possibie that this is the first year in which he has gone in for debate. He is wonderfully re- sourceful. and in refutation may be usually counted on to spring a surprise, Laurence Updike. '16. is also new to the debating field. and besides being a most conscientious worker is the clearest of thinkers. it is to be regretted that; he has not gone out for debating in previous years. Edwin Murphy, V16. has been as successful a debater as manager, and it is due greatly to his efforts and earnest enr thusiasm that Long Beach holds the high record that she does. He is tireless in preparations and in manner. confident. Clair McCord, 'IT, is hardly to be surpassed in fluency. His earnestness and sincerity are also to be greatly admired. and Poly High is glad that he is a juniort that it may yet have him another year. Debate will need him and his keen and ready refutation. Lucile McDougai. '73. our only girl dehater. so brilliant and ready. has left little ground on which her opponents might stand. It's hard enough to debate against a girl. but when she can so far outedehate you. it's awful. says one of her admiring and fearing opponents. We rejoice with you, Lucile, in that yOu have still two years with us. and we look forward With pride to that not far distant day When you will be known as the greatest girl cicbatm' in the State. Ono Hundred 'waity-Nm- lnterclm Debate DU? to a chain of circumstances the only inter-class de- bate hPld this year was between the juniors and seniors. though one was prepared between the freshmen and sophomores. Some days before our Hrst interscholastic debate William Shewan, 'lb, and Monte Evans, tl6. debated Elbert Titson. 'I 7. and Harold Preston, '17, on the question of commission form of government. Needless to say tithe writer is a seniort the seniors wnn by a score at Zzl. Intercluss debating seems to have made up in quality what it lacked in quantity as this was one of the best and most well :ttendcd interciass debates ever contested; The Banquet March the 10th Los Angeles High School entertained our debaters at a banquet, which proved to be a most enjoyable affairt Not often is an opportunity given for members of dBA hating teams to become acquainted and to realize that their opponents are really most agreeable people. Los Angeles has established a new precetient in this and we are glad that Long Beach has made ptans to return their courtesy in the near futurc. iNorma Dolores Perm The library is one of the greatest aids the students have in getting their lessons. Mrs. Gresham and her assistants are always willing to help in looking up any references. and the good nature with which they give their assistance makes the library a joy to nearly all. We hop: that by the end of another year, our library may be better equipped than it is at the present time, so that we can do all our studying at school.

Student Boy Each year Finds our commission form of government more 191me and thoroughly established in our high school. We Feel that the experiences of the year I915w16 haw: had their part in making a bigger and better student body. We have a much larger organization than ever before and we believe the students are coming into a fuller realization of the advantages of student body membership. Miss Mildred Coleman, Commissioner of Entertainment. is one of our busiest officers. Through her efforts we have had many excellent assemblies. The interest shown in cm student body concerts has been greater than ever, The Public Welfare Department in charge of Miss Alice Crowe has made great progress this year. Alice has ape pointeci good managers and the co-operation in this depart, ment has made it especially strong. The Book Exchange outgrew it! old quarters and i: doing a iarger volume of busi7 ness than ever before. our buiidings and grounds have been greatly beautified. and the other departments have progressed in like manner. Alfred Price was elected at the beginning of the year to fill the vacancy in the Literary Department and Alfred has indeed done excellent work. He has always found a way out of his diHiculties. and his judgment is always gooci. Our printing plant and a weekly publication next year are both Iesulta of his persistent eEorts. When Earl Thomson, Commiesioner of Athletics, re- signed at the end of the hzst semester in order to attend col- lege the students showed wisdom in electing Arthur Anderson to Fill the vacancy, Arthur is an untiring worker and his work has proved most satisfactory. Our student body is becoming a large business concern and a great deal of time and hard work is necessary in order to care for our finances. Alvah Andrews has proved equal to the task. and has guarded our finances Welly Claude Wells. as bookkeeper. and Monte Evans. assistant Finance Commis- sioner, have rendered valuable assistance in this department. Our student commissioners have performed their work well, but the help and advice of our two faculty members. Miss Out Hl'llulr'i'ti Thiriy-Thh-v Cberuleb. 1916 Harnett and Mr. Newcomb, has been responsible in a large measure for the success of the student body this year. They have given of their time unselehly and their work has been greatly appreciated. With our rapid growth in membership came larger un- dertakings for the student body. This means additional work and responsibility for our commissioners. This year's come mission has willingly shouldered the responsibility and has labored earnestiy to give to us a bigger and better student body. They have not worked in vain. eCIaydon Hoffman. Student Body Clerk SELFGOVERNMENT Seif-government in study halls, although a comparatively nave feature of our self-govemment system. has rapidly come to the front and now occupies an important position in the Public Welfare Department. This year a committee of three persons was appointed in each study hall to have complete Charge of the self-govern- ment. Managers were elected in most of the study halls to aid the committee in keeping order. This system has proved of value because the tesponsibility is placed upon the commit- tee instead of upon an individual manager and because the students feel that they have a part in making it successful. Howeven with the excellent system in vogue, it would be a great fallacy to conclude that the system alone is re- sponsible for the success. The system may. and undoubtedly does, play an important part in the success of selE-government: but with the most excellent system we could not hope to ob- tain success without the co-operation and support of every in- dividual student. When each student learns that self-govern- ment in the higher sense is self-government of the individual. or selhcontrol, and strives earnestly to govern himself. then. and not until then will our self-government be what we hope it shail be. Whatever of success has been accomplished this year has not been due to the officers or the system, but it has been due to the hearty co-operation and support given by the individual students. for which the management is truly thank- ful. eGraydon Hoffman Uur Hundrmi Tll iI'lyrFuuV Scholarship The Scholarship Society has certainly been a success in the year l915uI6. Thia is proved by the fact that in the sec- ond quarter the membership was larger than ever before, there being 174 members. This shows in itself that more interest is being taken in the society than heretofore and it is likely to be one of the foremost organizations of the school. The society is governed by a committee of Five. appointr ed by the High School Commission. There are several amendv ments to the constitution which are being considered. A plan is being worked out whereby the society will be organized and carried on uuder the rules of the high school commission. The flew society aha have regular meetings and become a permanent organization. Owing to a controversy over the buying of the scholar ship pins. plans have been prupoaed to remedy the system now in use. It is planned to issue pins to students in their junior yeart so they may wear them during the rest of their high school education, since high school pins are prohibited in colleges. It has been suggested that an entertainment be held under the auspices of the Scholarship Society. This will provide funds for the pins. It is planned to leave the society in better working order at the end of the year than ever before, and if these plans are carried out, it seems this will be accomplished. The commit- tee for the year 19I 5-!6 is composed of: Miss Pearson and Mr. Reid. faculty members; Jean Lyman, sophomore member; Hugo BcnioE, junior member. and Everett Hedger. senior member and president. 1.1m: Hundred Thn'lB 'Firv Min l'mmm f-iI'l-rmi.

It is probable that the classes will have the same standing during the Ian: two quarters of the year. The senior members who are eligible for pins are: Russel Alder Axel John Hart Helen Becker Everett Hedger Evelyn Butcher Grace Hess Mildred Coleman Joe Hickox F rancea Craig Eva Hoy Alice Crowe Isabel Cullen Marian Dolley Vida Draper Monte Evans Mildred Fitch Adele Gibson Effie Gibson 0m; Hundred 'l'IIIrey-Slx Margaret Irvine Alfred Miller Norma Petra Joseph Roberts Travis Shelton Edgar Tunison George Upton Mae Wheeler ignnur g?thnlurahip When we look back over the. school year, anti farther back over the achievements of the plesent senior class, there must come to mind a little band of tireless work- ers who have had no yells and no waving pennants to keep their ardor high. Let me one think. however. that this means unapi preciated work for we all recog- nize that on such work as this rests the stability of our student body organizations, and that just such work as this is the evidence of ability to do things worth while in the world. We realize, more- over, that the achieVement of schoIarship made by Helen Beck- er. Monte Evans, Margaret Irvine, Louise Lyman, and Travis Shel- ton. is not the result of an easy Climb. but that each one had in- dividual obstacles to overcome. and gave unselhshly of time and effort to student body work before turning to the class work we now recognize. Helen Becker, who won first honors in scholarship. has been an inspiring worker in Portia. Monte Evans, her close second, not only has represented the school in debate, and in chemistry contests. but has given hours of time to the handling of finances for the school. Margaret Irvine has given Cactulea one of its best or ganization editors. Louise Lyman has been a resourceful literary editor for La Brisa. a task which is a task. ' This Caerulea speaks for Travis Shelton's workha hook bound together by never failing effort of an editor who has true literary appreciation. Nor does this little tribute of appreciation come alone from the student body at large. and the Scholarship Society as an organization. but the faculty joins in expressing the pleasure of being associated in work with these athletes in scholarship. eAhhey Belle Pearson.

Each class has a cabinet which meets to discuss and to give advice as to important matters. A conference of the Confederation of Girls' Student Leagues of Southern California was held in November at Manual Arts High School, where our league representatives received many helpful suggestions, besides having a very en- joyable time, An election was held in February to vote for an amend- ment to the league constitution making all gills and women of our faculty members of the Cixlsi League without first be. longing to the Student Body. The amendment passed. I: is of great consequence because now every girl can feel that she has a share in the league. Port ii: The year I91 5-l6 has marked another successful year for Portia, full of hard work as well as gomi times. The aim has been to accomplish something worth while and at the same time to have interesting programs. We have been especially fortunate in the general meetings, having as outside speakers, Mrs. Jouronsky. a prominent worker in the Russian settlement of Los Angeles; Dr. Grant Evans, dramatic reader: and Miss Baker, art lecturer. The sections also have accomplished much this year. The dramatic section under the splendid management of Miss Bush and Norma Petm has made a study of the drama. and has put on a number of skits, among them being a scene from Maliere's comedy. The music section with Miss Rhetts and Mae Wheeler at the head has studied the co-relation of music and the other arts. The social service section with Miss Wol- cott and Effie Gibson has given valuable aid to the Day Nur- :ery. Last, but by no means least. the art section under Miss Lewerenz and Helen Becker has studied the art of the Exposil tion and later has taken up the study of basketry. Much of the success of this year is due to the efforts of Miss Anderson, general supervisor, and to the program com- mittees of the several sections. The oEscers of Portia this year are: Isabel Cullen, presi- dent; Alta Dillman, vice president; Helen Johnson. secretary and treasurer. elaabel Cullen One Huudrmi Ful'tyeThrea Nerilsa The lower classmen have worked enthusiastically to make the second year of Nerissa a grand success. Miss James. the faculty adviser, has done much to make the club one of the leading organizations in the Long Beach High School. The ohject of the club is to promote friendliness and feiiowahip among the fresh- men and sophomore girls. The oHiceIs are: president. Lois Rockhold; vice-presi- dent. Loreen Buffum: secre- tary, Bessie West; treasurer, Jean Howard. Because of the increase in membership more sections have been organized this year. The sections and their chair- men are: sewing. Grace Maganety; music, Marjorie Kerr; story telling Charlotte Creed; story writing, Jean Lyman; art. Bessie West. The sewing section is aid- ing some needy families with their skillful needles: the music section is studying the opera; the story telling section has given one or two clever skits which were enjoyed at the monthly meetings of Neriasa; the story writing section is studyr ing short stories: the art section is studying the art exhibits of the expositions. A number of novel partien, which were greatly enjoyed, have been given in order that the girls might become better acquainted. eBessie West Hm Hullulrml FWH-IMUr The girls of the high school have been decidedly aware of having the co-operation of the Y.

The purpose of this club is to further the knowledge of and also the interest in the South American Republics. The first meeting of the club was 3 din- ner held in the cafeteria, at: which the club officers were elect- ed. Russel Alder was chosen president: Esther Haskell, vice- president: Dorothy Speilman and Miss Robinson, secretaries: and Hugo Benioff, chairman of the program committee. Meets ings are held semi-monthly and all conversation is in Spanish. One of the most notable things the club helped to accomplish was to secure the Spanish Traubadours from San Diego, who gave an interesting entertainment one afternoon. The pro- ceeds from this entertainment were used to buy an Edison phonograph with speaking records which the pupils have found very helpful in learning the Spanish language. At present the club is working on a comedy called the Soprisa d9 Idalefonso. which they hope to present before the high school studems Um: lIulnlIL-d Furl: -Sern CBeruleL 1916 soon and which they are sure will b: a great success.

This organization meets every Friday after- noon in room 346 for informal programs for the purpose of studying Spanish coatumes, music, and the ways of Spanish speaking countries. Upon organization the officers were elected as follows: president, Ralph Downing: vice-presidenl, Mildred Howe; secretary and reporter. Laura Batkin. The entire membership of forty was divided into four groups for program arrange ment. Gladys Shepherd, Elizabeth Iredell, Ralph Applebury and Robert Taylor. program chairmen, .have worked success- fully with their committees and have presented programs and tertaining as well as instructive. Features of past meetings have been raports of various Spanish costumes and objects of ganeral interest: Spanish music, vocal, piano, Xylophone, vic- trola; an interpretative Spanish dance. and Spanish skits. The membets as a club visited Don Quixote given here in motion pictures in the early part of March. Plans are under way for several social evenings to be held before the close of school. Los Corderitos is new this year, but judging from the results so far, it will be continued as a success. The shorthand Club The aim of the shorthand Club is to Iaise the efEcienry of the shorthand and typewriting students. This is accom- plished by having a series of class and interclass contests in each of these subjects.

Mertie Davisl and Alma Scheeli fHarold Preston Employment Bureau That the problem of helping students to help themselves is an important one in our schooi, is just beginning to be reaiiz- ed. The Employment Bureau is new this year, but it has been most successful. Homes and work have been found for three boys and five girls, and a number of students have been supplied with books and clothing. Between thirty anci forty odd jobs have been found for students, and ten permanent positions have been supplied to pupils who probably could not have remained in school without help. ls this not encouraging? The department hopes to continue and extend its work next year. However. it can only be successful with the co? operation of the townspeople. You will help us if you tell your friends that whenever they want some one to mow their lawns. wash their windows, or beat their rugs, they may easily secure help by telephoning to the Employment Bureau of which Lewis Hindley is manager. Junior Chamber of Commerce The establishment of the Junior Chamber of Commerce in the Long Beach High School will probably be a most ef- fective means of furthering the spirit of democracy in the school. One of the greatest objects of the organization is to give the boys who had not led an opportunity to lead in some, thing. lt Clues not leave the work in the hands of a few. but places it in the hands of a great number. rousing the interest and school spirit of all; Steps will be taken to aid in the interest of the athletes of Long Beach, who in the past years have come to be lucked upon as a means of pecuniary gain or loss. not as human beings for whom we should have a few kindly considerations. A turf field is one of the dim possibilities, which if pItOA cured, would. with our present grand standl place us in the tead ol the Southern California preparatory schools. The boost for school bonds which witl bring a new boys' gym.. and a new auditorium, has been placed in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce. Under the guidance of Secretary Brainard, the Chamber of Commerce will. if possible, stage a high school talent show. in which Southern California high schools will be invited to dise play their talents. These entertainments are expected to net enough money to forward the action of their plans. lnlx- Hlil'lill'vll Fm'lerinv From a list of ninety, the following cEirectors were chosen: seniors: A.

Fire Department Our Fire department this year consists of a squad of thirty- fuur enthusiastic fellows, always ready and willing to be at their posts at the sound of the fire gong. Our greatest aim has been to make a 45 second exit. Aithough we have not yet attained that standard. we are atill striving for it and keep getting nearer each time. How- ever, we now Claim that our time of 54 seconds has not been beaten by many schools of our size. At no time during the year has it been necessary to ring the gong fox a call of actual service by the department. nor do we anticipate the necl for such a call with the care taken about the buildings to avoid such happenings: but nevertheless we intend to be always prepared for any such possibility, and improve our dnlls as much as poamble. eHChiefu Pickett UIIL' lhlnlh'vll Fifty Chemistry Club The Chemistry Club organized early in the fall of this year, choosing for the oHicers: president, James Hill: vice- president. AWah Pickett; and secretary and treasurer, Aaron Smith. Greater interest in the club has been amused among the members by interesting pvograms which were prepared by the students. and given at eaCh meeting. The meetings have been held every two or three weeks. Several members of the club are working very hard that they may compete in the Chemistry Contest to be held in Los Angeles near the end of the school year. This is an inter- scholastic contest which fosters much interest in the study of chemistxy. In February the entertainment committee of the club ar- ranged an interesting program and presented it to the assembly. This assembly was the first one of its kind ever presented to the students of Long Beach High. and created quite a sensaA tion. The members of the club are expecting to visit some of the local manufacturing houses in the near future, One I-lund I'eLl lI'iflerun!

We are hoping to make concessions the biggest paying management in the Student Body. Emie Sohn, Manager 'lm- Numb MW INHIVVTMU Dramatics has been one of the most successful of school activities this year. Never before has the school had so much real interest in and enjoyment from this department. This has been due gleatly to the efforts of Leonard G. Nattkemper. Although we regretted the loss of our much loved Miss Russell, the school was fortunate indeed to add to its faculty such a man as Mr. Nattkemper, for not oniy has he proved to be an excellent teacher, but also a great favorite with the entire school. due to his keen interest. never flagging enthusiasm, and new ideas. The First big play of the year was that given by the senior class, December 16th and 17th. As is usually the case. there was some difficulty in choosing a suitable play, but when Om' Illlltrirml l'hil'lx'Jlfhlvu Cberuleb. 1916 Rutherford 6t Son was selected, we were given a heavy play and one not easy to act. All the more. then. is credit due to the cast in presenting it so well; and after seeing it. is there anyone who could have wished it to be. rliffercnt? IhC folly of crushing individuality and talents was puwerfullv bIought out. The theme of the play was well expressed in the quota- tion. To hold as it were. a mirror up to nature; to show virtue her own featureI scorn her own image. and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure. The cast could not have been mole wisely chosen nor more capable of acting their parts.

The Stage Without me stage crew, of what avail wouH our dramatic efforts. be? Phil Whiting is certainly a genius when it comes to the mechanism of a stage. and is so generous wilhal that the whole school is his debtor. Carrol Coleman is our new stage manager this year and a most capable one he has provea to be. Ray Hansen assistant managen Miles Ailman, anti Douglas Stromsoe are also to be praised for their unsparing efforts. 1 h It i5 these boys who came up to school while the most of us were on hikes to the mountains, on house parties. and on various other good times and gave their time and strength to the hanging oi the beautiful new velvet curtains of which we are all so proud, 0am Hundred Flfll'uFivc CeeJ'uleb. 1915 The juniors made a success of everything which they at- tempted this year. and their selection of a class play was not the least of these. Esmeralda. presented on the evenings of the sixth and seventh of April is a most delightful play: and the cast was well selected, every word and movement showing that hard work had been expended on the production. Hal McCrew. as, MI. Rogers, showed very marked talent. and won his audience with a skill which is rarely found in an army leur. The energy of Mrs. Rogers, the fervor of Dave. and the naturalness of Esmeralda merited the warmest praise. Among those most instrumental in making Esmeralda a success, were the director, ML N'atlkemper; business manager. Harold Peck; the stage carpenters. Phil Wh.

Hui frm'h Art is the expression of thought, and possesses vaIue in proportion to the thought. and lo the success of portraying it. The art of music in the Long Beach High School has lost none of its former popularity this year. In fact, it is rapidly gaining. as is proved by the increasing number of students in all of the music classes. The second annual Harmony Class Concert is soon to be given under the direction of Miss Rhelts. The compositions this year are very interesting, and entirely difierent from those of last year. Among the numbers to be rendered is a complete suite for the piano modeled after one of the classical suites. Much interest has aiso been shown in the chorus work. as over one hundrcni and fony students now belong to that or- ganization. Marked improvement in the quality of the voice: as well as in the work of the chorus has been noticed; espe- cially was this so at lhe annual Christmas concert. given on December 17th All chorus members are looking forward with great anticipation to the folk song concert which is soon to be given. in which the gymnasium classes will take part, giving the foik dances while the chorus furnishes the music. UIH- Illnulrvri Hmlerwn Artist Concern This year's Artist Concert Season has been one of the most successful in the history of the achuol. Our first manager, Claude Smith. resigned after putting in much hard work in starting the season, Wilbur Kellum was then ap- pointed to till the vacancy, and has done exceptionally well as manager. Our Hrst artist this season was Miss Tina Lerner, the famous Russian pianist. Her striking personality. perfect technical work and interpre- tive ability were much enjoyed by everyone who attended the concert. Miss Tiliy Kneneni the prima don- na contralto, accompaniea by Uda WaIdrop at the piano. gave the sec- ond concert on January the 20th. Everyone was much impressed and delighted by the wonderful quality and size of her voice. shown espe cially in her first numbers. Her charming interpretation of nW'hen I Bring You Colored Toys. and other child songs struck a sympathetic chord in the hearts of her listeners. In pleasing variety, Mrs. Henley Bussing, soprano. and Mr. George Schoenefeld entertained in costume recital taking the third concert audience hack to the time of the eighteenth century, The colonial songs with the harpsichord accompani- ment, furnished a delightfully quaint and attractive program. Mr. Schoenefeld kindly offered to explain and exhibit the in- strument. which was greatly appreciated by the immense crowd that went upun the stage after the concert The fourth concert was given by the Zoellncr Quartet of Brussels: Joseph Zoellner, Senior, his two sons. and daughter. This was a return engagement of these pieasing artists who re- ceived such a warm welcome last year. Cecil Fanning. the famous baritone, and his teacher ac cumpanist, H. B. Turpin, gave the Final concert of the season. ending the sixth consecutive Artist Concert season which has been conducted under the management of the high school. One Hundred SiKlIiThl'PU 433 GLEE CLUB The Girls! Glee Club The Girla' Glee Club it. larger than ever befnre, having a membership of about forty-eighf girls. Several new nlemhen have been added this year, bringing into it quality as well as quantity, as Ming Rogers has discovered among the newcomers several voices far better than the average. Up to this time the Club has clone its usual good work. and the members are now working hard on two numbers from Midsummer Night's Dream, which will be presented in the ShakeSpearean Festival. The final Concert has not keen decided uprm. but judging from the work already done. whatever is undertaken. will be successful. The Boys, Glee Club This is the First time in the history of the Long Beach Polytechnic High School that a minstrel show has been given by the Boysi Glee Club. It was met with great enthusiasm by the audiences of both Thursday and Friday nights. April 13th and 14th. All the stunts that go to make a minstrel show a success were carried out by the club under the careful direction of the Glee Club leader, Miss Alice Rogers; stage director. Miss Vinnie Gee; and pianist. Miss Edith Rhett; The audiences were much surprised at the variety of talent displayed on the stage. There are thirtyAseven in the club this year. They have all been very faithful and have taken great interest in the work. and Miss Rogers is well pleased with what has been accom- plished. eMarshall Vatchcr smv mumrm Hixly'rivuul' z 5; :3: :55: Under the 'eadership of archeskr Mr. Moore. the High School a Orchestra has gradually been recognized as one of the big ' organizations of che school. an ' This year the membership of the orchestra is far greater than that of any past orches- tra.

We even make them guests at picnics. At the beginning of the year, each freshman was assigned to a senior adviser. Several pic: nice were arranged, and at nouns the freshmen and their ad- visers were guests to the eats' on the south lawn. No, we love our infants too much to neglect them. Girln' League Plunge Parties Plunge parties were the rage for a while last winter and many girls availed themselves of the opportunity offered by the Giris' League every Tuesday evening at the bath house. Although the writer never saw them. we surmise that they had a ttaplashing good time. Senior Clan Dues The senior class took a decided step toward economy this year when they placed the class dues at fifteen cents a semesteh This action brought two hundred members to the class. Student Government We still believe that student government in the study halls is a success. We iike freedom, and Craydon Hoffman as mane ager 0f the study halls has proved emcient in developing this plan. Artht Concert: The artist concerts proved to be same of the must enter- taining events of the year. Great munical artists at the WOIld were brought to our school and played before packed houses at every concert. Corduroy: It is the custom for senior boys ta wear corduroys during the year to distinguish themselves from the lower clasamen. but this year the girts created excitement when they appeared one Monday morning in corduroy skirts. They look neat and sensible. Leap Year We don't know haw much proposing the girls have tione this year, but we do know that more than one has run home after uleaving a hay friend at his home. Also twenty-two girls stagged it to the minstrel show one night. We don't know the reason for this unless it was to show that they were inden pendent. Unl' eruIn-a Ht-vvnterwn Printing Plant The school board has appropriated money for a printing press and expect: to install the plant this summer. This is a decidedly progressive stepy New Auciitorium Is our auditorium too email? Just look at the students sitting in the window ledges and around the walls. May we hope for a new one next year? Sea Gulll Our friends the sea gulls lunch with us every noon. and provide enjoyment for the students. We are glad to feed them and hear them screech for more. Girb' Track Meet Coach Howard Cleveland started something new when he started a girls' track meet this year. We know some Ene sprinters and hurdlers among the fair sex. Be careful of your laurels, boys. Auemblies We have had some mighty entertaining assemblies this year, which have brought out real talent among the students. Assemblies are the life of the school. Mid-Year Graduation Our Hrst midvyear graduation took place January 25. Six students received diplomas. This will he an annual event. Building and Ground: Francis Hawks has done commendable work in his cam- paign on the waste paper which is thrown around the school. He has also put an plays in the assemblies and used the re- ceipts to buy shrubs to beautify our grounds. It is to him that we owe our beautiful grounds. Our Muwum We have a museum in our school of which we are very proud. We have relics of thousands of years ago and then again we have relics of iater dates. Senior Dresses Senior girls have been permitted to spend Eve dollars for their graduation dresses this year and have but one dress for commencement week. A sensible idea. Vaccination How's your vaccination? were the usual words of greeting for two weeks this year when a smallpox scare broke out. closing the schools for two weeks. The heat of it was that the teachers were forced to be vaccinated as well as the students.

Never in the history of the Long Beach High Schooi has a football team deserved more and got less than the team of I915. They played fast, scrappy footbaii. cutciassing their opponents in every game, A wonderfui machine on defense: they only fell ciown in their offensive work. Many times dur- ing the year. with only a few yards to go for a touch down. they failed to get the necessary Hpunch to send them over the line. In point of clean hard playing and sportsmanship. the team of I915 was one of which the students may justly feel proud. The team was extremely fortunate in having excellent coaching. Mr. Fennesee. Yale's brainy quarterback during the years of '03 and '04, and the University of Utah's coach in I914, assisted Coach Elliott in developing the back held and working out new formations. Coach Elliott spent most of his time with the line. Snort Long. former Long Beach star backfield man. also helped by coaching Captain Anderson in the art of punting. The first practice game of the season was played with the Oxy-freshmen on Oct. 5. From the blow of the whistle, it was plain that Long Beach had the coliege boys' number. in the first quarter the team battered their way through for a touchdown, and kicked goal. For safety. the educated toe of Captain Anderson was caiied upon For a Held goal. with the result of three more points. In the second quarter the fresh: men intercepted a forward pass and went across for a score. The second team was then sent in to try their ability. The game ended with Long Beach on the long end of a ten to six score. fmn lTumh m1 va-nu , mum Several days later the team met defeat in a practice game with the University of California freshmen. In the Brat half the heavy college squad made two touchdowns by the use of short passes and line bucks. In the last half they were white, washed. Millard and Anderson starred For Long Beach; On October l6, Long Beach and her new rival. L. A. High. met in the Hrst league game of the season. Outclasaed in every department of the game. with the hall in their territory most of the time. the Convicts succeeded in holding our Pele lows to a 0 to 0 score. Chuck DeCoudres was in every play; Don Lane, quarter, used good head work: Dolly showect up strong, and Millard, Goddaxd, and Hawks negotiated several pretty passes. The following Saturday our tanbark crew journeyed to Manual Arts. to receive the severe lacing which the Lamport family threatened to bestow upon them. Again our team play- ed rings around their opponents, but to no avail. In the First half the pigskin resided in Manual's territory most of the time At the end of the hrst half the ball was on their twenty yard line. with 45 seconds to play. Instead of trying to place kick, an unsuccessful attempt was made to shove the ball across the goal. In the last half. Long Beach opened up Two clever forward passes completed by Goddard brought us to the Fifteen yard line. A place kick was tried but it tailed to go between the bars. Van Bramer. Goddard. DeCoudres. Hawkst and Anderson cinched their claim on the best defensive com bination in the south by breaking up every Manual formation. Lack of team work at times weakened their offensive playing. The game ended without a score on either side. Santa Ana, after the clash on October 30. will be known in Long Beach as Lucky Ana. The game was still in its in- fancy. when one of the walnut pickers intercepteti a forward pass and raced fifty yards through an open Field to a touch- down. Not daunted by this Huket the fellows came back and fought like demons. Again our team played rings around their opponents on the defensive. it was an uphill battle against luck. with every break with Santa Ana. Don Wallace. DeCoudres. and Millard stopped the greater part of Santa Ana's plays through the line. Captain Anderson starred on both oEense and defense. tackling and running the ball with equal ability. The loss of this game ended our chances for the championship. On a field that was an exact reproduction of a mud hen's paradise Long Beach and San Diego battled to a scoreless tie, Nov. 6. Our Hundred Svn-n lyvNHIc Gaerulezs. 1916. As soon as the players became used to their environment. things began to happen. The pigskin was forgotten momen- tarily. Every fellow tried to drown his adversary. Some suc- ceeded admirably. The running of Rogers and Captain An- derson was sensational. Van Bramer played a great game at halfback. The entire team played a great brand of football considering the condition of the gridiron. In a practice game with Harvard Military Academy. with- out halves or quarters, our heroes succeeded in rolling up 47 points to the rookies 7. The fellow: got the habit of mak- ing touchdowns and they couldn't get rid of it. Before the largest crowd that has ever assembled on the campus to witness a footbali game. the Pasadena team defeat- ed the Long Beach eleven by the close score of 6 to 0, in the annual Turkey day tuasie. The game will go down in his- tory as one of the most bitterly contested and grueling tanbark conHicts ever seen in this city Tuffy Conn, and not Pasadena. heat Long Beach. The visitors were outplayed, as a team. at least three-fourths of the content. They won because the intellectual toe of their star halfback wag in Wonderful fOXm. Long Beach a defense was superior at all times. The Hashy running of Conn and the wicked plunges of Card were checked by our impregnable line. much to the chagrin of Pasadena. Captain Anderson played his best game of the year. His long gains and work at intercepting forward passes were of the highest order. Dolley at right half, also showed the best fotm he had yet displayed. making several long gains and star- ring on defense. Goddard and Hawks took care of the ends in line shape, spilling the wide run: and completing several pretty passes. DeCoudres seemed to be in every Pasadena play, Hi5 tackling was deadiy. Millard at the other tackle played a strong game. while Wallace, at center, stamped him self as one of the heat pivoteers that ever represented Long Beach. Our chance for a touchdown came in the second quarter. when with the ball on the 60-yard line. Lane called for a pass. Millard dropped back and with Wallace on the receiving and forty yards down the held, completed the longest pass ever negotiated on a Long Beach gridiron. This took the pigv akin to Pasadena's 20-yard line and the chances for a score looked bright. Pasadena refused to give ground. and after repeated penalties we were forced to kick. Ulw Hundred Eighty Conn got in his work in the third quarter. when he kicked it difficult goal from the 40-yard line and one from the l5-yard me. The last game of the year was played with Hollywood. It proved to be a march. march on down the Field affair for Long Beach. The feature of the contest was the excellent team work of our boys. The game ended with our tanbark artists on the long end of a 27 ta 0 score. HChuck DeCoudres and Dewey Goddard. next year's captain. were chosen on the mythical All-Southern and All- state teams for I915. Second Team Football Considering the material from which the team was made and the purpose for which a second team is kept up, our second football squad had a very successful season. Every fellow from the previous year's second team made a place on the First team. leaving entirely inexperienced material for the squad this year. Notwithstanding thie- handicap, the boys had the Fight in them and managed to get through the season with an even break in the games, Some excellent material was developed for next season. which was the purpose con- sidered Sixteen fellows were awarded letters. the majority of them being freshmen. who should he heard from in the future. The team was handled by Howard Cleveland. coach. Clarence CIDJ'Y, manager and Dick Lawson. captain. 01w Hundred Eighty-One Cberulea. 1916 HNST 'Fliul rnulel. wrsic .E .2 ? . At the time of writing, swim- ming had just started. Although many of last year's stars have left us. the prospects for a fast team are exceedingly bright, as an abundance of new material has turned out. The big interlclass tussle held on Saturday night. March I7th. started the season. This event is usually saved until the last of the year. but in order to bring out the new talent. which the team had to be made oh the classes were given a chance to settle the aquatic supremacy the First thing, The affair was a huge success. each class having a strong team.

Captain Hanna is making fast time in the sprints. Mill: is taking Care of the distances in good style. Keshishian and McCormick are expected to hoic! their own with any divers of the South. Other members of the team who can be de- pended upon for point; in any meet are Embleton, Coleman. Batclaye Longe MEane, and Taylor. Our impromptu vacation by delaying the interacholastic meets. almoat ruined the chances of having the state meet in this city. Fortunately the date set for the banner event was pastponed. Three years ago the county meet was held here. Since then. none of the big events have been staged in the local plunge, If the students keep up their spirit and sup- port. one or two of the big meets will come to Lang Beach this year With heaps of good material, plenty of pep, and meets scheduled with San Diego. Manual Arts. L. A. Poly. and Redondo. we expect one of the most successful seasons in the history of swimming. -Jim Taylor Ono Hundn-d Eie'hly-Fnul' WATER POLO Another Southern California championship added to our list. Water polo started out with pep and vim enough to set the whole school an its Feet. and consequently it Hnished with an interschoiastic championship. With only four of last year's veterans back, our chances looked pretty slim, More than Forty fellows reported for practice. From this squad was chosen a team far superior to any water polo team ever pro- duced: a team that was head and shoulders above any in her league. paddling through the entire season without being scored upon. it was not just a piece of luck. When one knows the grit and courage it requires to play this good old American sport, it is. easy to see that luck is a small factor. From a team that gave all she had, by consistent training and team work. and from a squad of true sportsmen striving and straining every nerve and muscle to obtain their goal, came the cham- pions of Southern California. In November 8 water polo league was started among Manual Arts. Inglewood. L. A. Poly, Huntington Park. Rev dondo, and Long Beach. The games were scheduled and the season began with a rush. On December seventh. we played our first league game with Huntington Park in their tank. We defeated them to the tune of IS to 0. December thirtwaust. the alumni came home for their Christmas vacation, with the idea that they could play polo. We soon took it out of their heads by a score of 7 to 0. On January seventh. our water clogs journeyed to Ingle- wood and rolled up twelve points on the inlanders. January twenty-first. in our plunge, we succeeded in ship wrecking Redondo, before several hundred spectator; We made eight points. January twenty-eighth, we met L. A. Polyis water sprites and sent them home after a 14 to 0 threshing. On Februaty fourth, Manual Arts piayed us for the cham- pionship. in our artificial ocean. After the most exciting and Closely contested game of the ieague. we succeeded in routing our rivals by the score of 7 to 0. We played Li A. A. C. February eighteenth and twenty- sixth, for the championship of the southwest. We were de- feated but it still left us the interscholastic championship of Southern California. March Fourth. in interclass games, the Freshmen defeated Ilnr Hunllr't-rl liliHhtyrHix the sophomores. and the juniurs cleteated the seniors. The championship of the school was taken away from the fresh by the juniors, by a score of 3 to I. Although six men leave the water polo team at graduae tion time, the outlook for .163! 7 is bright. The lineup for this year is as follows: Dish Embleton tgoan is a regular goal glommer. Not a goal got by HDiSh, and this is a record no other goal tender holds.

They were always glad to help out at any critical moment. Duncan leaves.

We won the championship by the team-work and fighting stuff of our fellows, and the eH-icient and faithful coach- ing of Mr. Elliott, eBoyd E. Garner, Manager and guard of 16 season. One, Huntll'uil l'Iitihly-Eight RM If the degree of success of a team is measured by the number of victories, the track season of 1916 might be termed a failure. But although the team did not bring home the championship. the season was a very successful one from several standpoints. With a team composed of all new material with the ex- ception of three last year's men, it was unfair to expect them to compare favorably with teams of experience. Inability to arrange for meets with other schools. sickness on the part of several members of the squad and the manager. and an unexpected vacation more than doubled the handicap placed upon the team by inexperience. However, more stueients have been induced to come out for track this year. than any other year in the history of the school. This means an experienced and well balanced team in 1917. The that meet of the year was held with L A. Poly. The contest was close and exciting throughout. neither school ever being over ten points in the lead. Mattox scored the most points for Long Beach. winning the 50. 100 and 220. Cooke capped two First. the discus and shot. The meet was decided by the relay, which went to L. A. Poly. The second meet, held with Pasadena. March 4th. was won by the Fonthillers by a score of 44 to 69. Paddock, the Ttu Conn of the track. ramped away with the clashes. We also lost both the distance events. the relay, the IZO-yard hurdles, and high jump. Stiff won the low hurdles after a close race; The 440-yard dash was taken Olw Hundrwi TC ,ths'dk'iur- 1916 hy Scott. white the pole vault was won by Graham. the dial cue! throw by Woodard, and the broad jump by Baker. Ellsworth Cooke captured the shot with ease with a heave of 42 feet. In the county meet held at Pasadena. Long Beach cap- tured ten of the eighteen gold medals offered for First places. This was the best showing made by the team this year, and is probably the largest number of medals won by any team i1;1 the last few seasons. Cooke pulled down five points in the 3 0t. The 50-yard dash was won by Mattox. the 440 by Scott, the pole vault by Graham, the javelin by Tiernan. and the broad jump by Baker. Other members of the team who made a creditable showing were Howeil, who got third in the half mile. and Stiff who won the high hurdles. The relay was captured by Long Beach after one of the fastest races seen in the south this season. Dr. L. B. Smith Dr. Smithl Who doesn't know the big brother of every high school boy? If there be anyone. let it be known that uDoc is a the man who banishea the pain, loosens the sore joints. and in a word, nurses all the things that ail the memu bars of our teams. His ofhce has been the mecca of hundreds at high school boys for several years. His oFHce hours to his Poly High friends are not governed by the clock. The latchestring is always out. Doc has been a friend in need. and his skill and untiring eEorts have done much to make athletics what they are. Unlv Hundred NiuI-LV IR VIM Slaw! L The basketball seasnn of l9l 5-19l6 did not get started until the other schools of the league had been playing for several Weeks. With no coach, and only one player left from last year. the prospects for a good team seemed Clark. Finally MI. Fennessey consented to take the responsibilities of a coach. and the team began hard practice. The fellows soon became used to playing with each other and it was not long before they were working smoothly. Although the team won several games, the late start. combined with the lack of interest on the part of the students. and consequent lack of interest by the players. kept them out of the championship. The best showing of the team was made against Whittier. when they scored more on the champions of the state, than any other team which met the Foothillets. uBronk Millard held down his position as guard in admirable style. It is enough to say of him that he never had to be taken out of the game during the season. His presence was greatly missed in the Pasadena game. Ralph Millard held down the other guard position. play, ing a good game at all times. He will be a great help in bringing home the banner next year. Although Percy Renius came out late. he proved to be much help in several games. He will be heard from next season. Captain Verne Wickham played a fast game at forward at all times. He led his team with the ability of a veteran. Um Hllmlrrli NiHIVU'VIlwn IIYL-m.

Much of the credit for Long Beach's success in every branch of athletics is due to Coach Ellioti OII-e Hundred NlmalpF'our IUHJ. 'I'IYH'JSYH 1916 Long Beach High School may well be proud of her baseball machine. So far this season. we have played ten games and have lost but three. Only one league game had been playecl at the time Caerufca went to press. This game was lost to Santa Monica. Since then. the team has been re- organized and the prospects are bright for the remaining hve games of the season. The team is evenly balanced. and with the efficient coaching of ML Turk, a 19l6 championship seems certain. The Following men will win their L's this year: Bill Raymomi. first baseman, has Filled the large shoes of Scow Curry in Fm: style. He is sure of the hall and is very handy with the bat. Bill will be with us next year and we expect great things of him. Stella Tucker. catchex. has worked hard and won a place not only on the team, but in the hearts of the fellows. He is the Hrat man in suit for practice. and never misses a night. He is only a fresh so we will have him with us for some time to come. Jim Buckwheat Buckeley, pitchert has demonstrated that he is one of the best twirlers in Southern California. His pitching is consistent. Jim will be with us for a few more years. Capt Leslie Miller at third base has no equal in the high school ranks. We hope to have i'Les with us next year, but the chances are that he will go to the big leagues. This year he turned down a gooti offer from Des Moines. to stay with us. Lea ie the only veteran we have from last year's team. He is an able leader. holding the team together in line shape.

He is our only ieft handed batter and when the enemyis pitcher's goat is needed, Ralph is sent in to get it. One more year. HPuma Fulton is another Erosh who has made good.

With this combination of ball players. our rivals are going to have a hard time keeping us out of the championship. iBob Reynolds, Baseball Manager Um: Hlilidl'ud Nilmh'-Hux'vn Cberuleb. 1916 TENNIS TEAM TENNIS Tennis this season like football has been a nnear-misa at every meet, the team losing only after hard fights. Despite the fact that only one member of last yearhs team played this season, the team has shown exceptional form. Russel Allder. last year's star, continued his old pace, starring for Long Beach in every meet. Gailen Brown, play- ing second man also, showed up to good advantage. especially so in the Santa Monica contest. when he defeated his man in the singles by an overwhelming score. The combination of Allder and Brown proved a winnert being defeated only once during the season. Hugh Williams, piaying third man showed good form in several of the meets. He will be with us next year. Lloyd Shidler, a new man this year, played a consistent game throughout the season. Tennis has not received the support that it merits. The climate being especially favorable, every season should see large numbers out for the team. The lack of interest is prob- ably due to the poor condition of the courts. Cement courts would undoubtedly prove a stimulus to the sport. The Hotel Virginia has been very courteaus tn the learn this year, extending the use of the courts for contests and practice. eEdgar Tunison One Hundred NinetyeNlne GIRLS GYM Although the percentage of girls taking gymnasium work this year is not so large as usual, due to faulty registration, the classes are doing better work and are taking more of an inter est than ever before; Under the supervision of Mia: Gee and Miss Shaw, sev- eral classes of girls have been studying symbolic dancing Some of the more advanced students gave a program an the lawn. at a recent girls' assembly. Tennis, indoor baseball. and basketball are the most popular sports among the girls who are interested in athletics. A track meet will be held in the near future, in which the girls will be given the opportunity to compete in all of the events of a championship contest. In the tryouts held recently. some very exceptional talent was discovered. BOYS' GYM In spite of the fact that accommodation could be given to only one third of those who wished to take the work. the boys' gym classes have been very successful. Miss Shaw and Miss Gee have both been instructing two classes of fifty boys each. Three days of the week were spent in playing hockey, tennis. and basketball. The rest of the time was spent in the gym, working on the apparatus. The indoor classes were leti by Hiag Kashishian. Hasty. Parker Coleman, and Roy Baker. The interest shown by the boys in the different branches of athletics has been helpful in securing new material for the various school teams. It is hoped that next year will see a large number of students enrolled for gymnasium work. At present there is an urgent need for a. larger gym. cement tennis courts, and a man who can devote his entire time to gymnasium instruction. It is possible that all of these necessities may he had by next year. Two IIumIn-Il gCAlendm ' 13. 14. 20 SEPTEMBER School opmm My. you're looking line: whero'vc you been?
