The wilcl rose blooms on the broken wall. The thundering guns once more are still And beneath the grass on the quiet hill Sleep the heroes - scores. Their lives have not been lost in vain Nor wasted are their hours of pain, For no more shall there be War. Peace now after years of woe. In the bloody dust lies the fallen foe. The blundering truck along the road No longer labors with its towering load. Soon Earth shall heal her sores. But to our children let be made This promise, tho time goes on and centuries fade No more shall there be war. - Co ENT5 Victory Department .........................,,............. 1 Literary ....................... ......... 4 7 Classes ..................... ......... 7 9 Senior ....... ......... 8 0 Junior ........... ......... 1 22 Sophomore ....... ......... 1 25 Freshman ........, ......... 1 27 Alumni ......... .........

They are heroes, every one of them. Modestly, reluct- antly, and unwillingly, perhaps, some of them have given their stories their experiences, their impressions, to Caerulea. Here they are. They are the stuff from which fiction O Mr. Leonard G. Nattkemper, head of our oral expression depart- ment, who, during a leave of absence, is with the Y. 1Vl. C. A. Over There , has found the cheering and comforting of our boys a won- derful blessing. I left Paris as manager and player in an entertainment unit named The Strollers. We had a repertoire of five one-act comedies with a personnel of two women and three men. We began our barn- stormmg tour round Paris and then, by way of Chateau Thierry, to Toul. After establishing our headquarters in a village we would be driven by auto to the hospitals and camps in the immediate vicinity to entertain our boys. When our unit had covered a particular area We would move on to another village as our post of departure. We have been carrying out this program ever since leaving Paris, until we have now reached Luxemburg. Up to the present we have enter- tained approximately 50,000 men. We have had now and then the pleasure of using a modern stage in a modern theatre, but for the most part, with the help of the sol- diers, we improvise our own stage, the equipment consisting of boxes, --sae. 16 CAERULEA '19 army blankets, and candles. Boxes 'covered with blankets provide chairs, blankets serve for rugs, and still more blankets, suspended from a wire form curtains: while candles make fine footlights. An officer on the front row usually asks the house to have the kindnessi to refrain from smoking so the air can clear up sufficiently to allow the stage to be seen. To come upon such a stage before a house packed with American soldiers all lonely, tired, blue, and desperately home- sick or perhaps all wounded: to watch their expressions changing from this attitude to that of amusement, and to keep them laughing for an hour or two, then to go away leaving the temper of the aud- ience entirely changed, is to me a wonderful blessing, for which I' would exchange no worldly possession. I dress in the uniform of an officer with the word Entertainer across my sleeve, but on the stage I always wear civilian clothes, Eng- lish in style, which alone brings applause, because the soldiers are longing to wear civilian clothes themselves. I have been billeted in places of every description and enjoy them all-tents, stables, sheds, and now and then a real house. I am bil- leted in the midst of each division for which I work for about two weeks, in which time I am expected to reach all the boys, from ten to twenty-six thousand, by appearing before them in various places pro- vided for their entertainment by their officers. I never know an hour ahead where I am to appear for the next performance but am ready at a certain time every afternoon and evening to be whisked away in an automobile through mud, rain, or snow and ice to some hut, barn, tent, or house where an eager crowd of boys await me. I have been to Chateau Thierry, the Argonne, St. Nlihiel, Toul, Etain, Verdun, Etrage, Metz, into Esch and Luxemburg. I have seen horses still unburied on the battlefields and skulls in helmets. There are the pistols, guns, masks, cartridge belts, etc., still lying where our happy boys threw them when word came that the battle of hell was over. When one looks upon the long, impenetrable 6 VICTORY 17 stretches of barbed Wire entanglements in No lVIan's Land Cand the German wire is so horriblej and sees how the earth seems to have been literally uptorn and moiled into an irritable quagmire, he clenchcs his fists involuntarily and mutters oaths of hatred for the bloody Huns. I have ridden for a day and night by automobile through village after village all of which were totally destroyed and beaten to the earth with not a human soul alive in them. Please give my best regards to all, and remember I constantly' think of Long Beach High. Yours very sincerely, Leonard G. Nattkemper. Miss Eleanor Thayer, a popular French and Latin teacher in L. B. H. S. for the past several years, in doing her bit has become a beloved companion and adopted sister to our wounded heroes in Letterman Hospital, San Francisco. I'm just as enthusiastic as ever over my job. I wouldn't swap it for any other in the world except one in France. I never had any brothers so it's lots of fun to be adopted by fifty at once. You ought to follow me round for a day to really understand just what my job is. I'm jolly with the cheerful ones, jolly up the blue ones, argue with the few Whose real or fancied wrongs are making Bolsheviki, give advice on all sorts of known and unknown matters, write letters, and translate French lettersf you may be sure I'm adding a great deal to my stock of sentimental wordsj. Most of the boys, however, seem to be rather down, if anything, on French girls: so I don't have much French work. I sew on service stripes and buttons, teach basket and tray making, bead work, Eng- 5 .H ...QQ 18 CAERULEA '19 lish, French, arithmetic-in fact, anything which is called for. At the end of the day I go shopping. Buy me some post-cards -not scenery, but the kind a feller sends to a girl, you know. Since I don't know the girl and don't know the feller very well, these orders make me somewhat nervous but I do my best. My reward is the name many of them call me, Sunshine . It makes me happy every time I hear it, for I feel that at last I'm really needed some- where and missed when I'm not there. Sincerely, Eleanor Thayer Hugo Hihn has received- the distinguished decoration of the Croix cle Guerre, the greatest honor bestowed by the French govern- ment. The officers of highest rank salute the recipient of the Croix de Guerre. Mr. Hihn is so extremely modest that it was with much difficulty he was induced to give the story to Caerulea. We have since learned that he received two other decorations for distinguish-ed bravery. Hugo's story follows. I was a member of the lst Division 5th field artillery. As we were shock troops I managed to get into the thick of things. Ten' days after we had landed in France we were on our way to Chateau Thierry. We were also at Argonne Forest, at Metz, at St. Mihiel, and at Ponto Messon. Twenty-five of our boys were detailed for reconnoitering in map- making with a French troop. My buddy was a Los Angeles boy whom we named Sister because of his blonde hair and pink-and- white complexion. We traveled only at night. There were no lights in France at night for fear that Heinie would discover us from his air planes, The food on such trips consisted of hard-tack, canned v1cToRY ' ' ' 19 tomatoes, and beans. One night the cook got reckless and decided to have a real feed. Preparations for supper had scarcely begun when Zip! Bang! a shell struck just ahead of us. The smoke had disclosed our location to the ever watchful Heinie. Dousel went our glim and we disappeared under the shelter of the friendly culverts. A second shell came even nearer and a third one tnok' kitchen, supper wagon-everything. No supper that night! After what seemed hours one of our American boys crawled out from under the shelter, thinking he might discover the location of the hostile gun. Sure enough, he soon detected a puff of smoke from an adjacent forest covered hill. E Without stopping to consult the officer in command, five boys started out on a voyage of discovery. As noiselessly as possible we aproached the hill and crawled toward the spot from which the smoke had seemed to come. For a long time we discovered no signs of life and we were about to give up in despair, but the kid who had seen the smoke said, I know it was here, so we kept up the search. Suddenly we saw just in front of us a gm sticking up about eight inches from the surface of the ground. We had nearly crawled into a hidden gun pit and eight German gunners, It didn't take us long to get back to headquarters to make our report to the French officer. Our number augmented to twelve, we again came in on each side of the trail which the Germans had dug to'the gun pit, and we just walked right in on them. The sergeant called out, Rause mit em! The Huns put up no show of fight, but simply lined up, hands up, and the sergeant disabled the gun. Then we marched our pris- oners to headquarters and delivered them over to the officer as if they had been a parcel. ' A week or ten days later a dispatch rider delivered a little boa. to the French major, who requested us five fellows to step forward while the rest of the company stood at attention. We didn't' know what was going to happen to us. I thought perhaps we were going 1 20 CAERULEA '19 to get a grand bawling out for leaving camp without permision. But the officer drew from the box five crosses. Then in a most dignified manner he made a speech something like this: Whereas, , , , , , hav- ing of their own free will undertaken to discover a certain gun, and having succeeded in finding it, the government of France. presents these soldiers with the Croix de Guerref' It was my fate to blaze the trail for the other four. As the major called my name I stepped for- ward and saluted. I-Ie pinned the cross on my coat and quicker than a flash kissed me a resounding smack on either cheek. Then he shook hands with me. My salute to him finished the ceremony as far as I was concerned. Hugo Hihn TO MY UNIFORM Bud Gerner '16 Old togs, I like the feel of you And all you mean to me.

I W P , r VICTORY 23 Pete Lenz, hero from Long Beach High, speaks for the engineers. Pete was wounded in glorious action. The only difference I found between the Combating Engineers and the Doughhoys is that the Doughboys go over the top and give 'em Hell, While the Combating Engineers repair roads, dig dugouts and trenches, put up barbed wire entanglements, construct the ma- chine gun. nests, and ALSO go over the top and give 'em Hell! I was in a bunch that was sent to the First Division, Co.C, U. S. Engineers, at Gondrecourt, France. Here We were given a little training before being sent to what is known as a quiet sector north- west of Toul-the St. Mihiel. However, the Americans were of the doing type, so they soon turned this so-called quiet sector into an active one. The trenches were very poor, indeed. I' remember on one oc- casion dodging shells in them up to my Waist in mud, water, and snow. Another time We were standing to, expecting an attack by the Huns. Some of the boys sank in the mud up to their hip boots in the slime. All of this was done under gas, and believe me it's some pleasant task Wearing a gas mask for several hours. The mask cuts into the flesh, and I sometimes wondered which was Worse, the gas or the mask. A We entrained to Paris and from there marched up to the Somme front Where the Germans had broken through the lines in March. We helped stop the squareheads near Nlontdidier after losing a large per cent of our division. Not satisfied with stopping the Boche, we advanced and captured Cantegny, and held it against seven counter attacks. We had to wear our masks for five hours straight in one of these attacks and trample over thousands of prostrate bodies of the Heinies. I have seen boys about twenty years old go intO that hell Qf fire 24 , CAERULEA '19 and destruction and come back with a head of solid grey hair, and I saw many of my friends get his. One night a German O shell came through our dugout while we were sleeping and went through the stomach of my pal in the bunk next to me. The man below had both legs broken and several were injured, but luck was with us, for it was a dud, an ineffective shell which fails to explode. Had it exploded, the concussion and flying fragments would undoubtedly have killed us all. We dug up the shell and removed it from our home. It weighed ninety-one pounds and measured twenty-three inches in length. After eighty-four days the French relieved us, but we were soon sent to Soissons to check a German drive on the Marne. Our divis- ion drove the squareheads back twelve miles the first day, after we had marched all night and entered the trench at zero hour, just in time to go over the top. We killed, wounded, and captured thousands of Germans, even taking their heavy artillery, and turning it on them-firing German shells at Germans. Fritz got my name and address on the third day of the drive just as we had hopped out of the trench to go over. The first thing I knew I was in a hospital. The next five months I had plenty of time to think, for a shell had gone through my arm and shoulder, and another through my knee, and I spent time in eight different hospitals. One of my thoughts is this: We can't say too much for the service performed by the Salvation Army and the Red Cross The boys over there have the warmest place in their hearts for these people who served them under fire with coffee, doughnuts, and medical attention, and they appreciate the support you people at home gave these two or- ganizations.

Such was the greeting I received one cold, disagreeable morning last September when the quartermaster roused me out of my bunk. We were just two days out of Brest, France, right in the most active submarine Zone, steaming, or rather tossing along at twelve knots with a large convoy of negro troops. Foretop relief, Sir. I reported on the bridge, and then rambled up to my little nest sixty-five feet above the deck. Over an hour rolled by and not a thing sighted, but always alert I kept scanning the horizon for a possible enemy and the surface of the sea for floating mines. QAnd here I might just mention that the treach- erous mine is the only thing we fear at sea. We at least have a fight- ing chance with a sub but not so with the floating mh1eJ At just 5:30 A. M. I leaned toward the voice tube and shouted, Bridge be- low! b Hello, foretop, came the instant reply. Sail-ho, sir, one point on the port bow. Very well, came the reply again. Grabbing the binoculars from my strap, I quickly picked up the sail again for a better look. Bridge below! Bridge below! I shouted at the top of my voice this time and it seemed ages before the answer came back Hello foretop. Ship just reported on our port bow looks camouflaged, sir, and they are lowering away their sail. No answer this time, but a sudden lurch forward of the ship at full speed and the submarine attacking alarm bells dingling all over the ship told me that action had come again. In less time than it takes to tell, all hands were at their respective battle stations, some fully clad in their usual wind proof clothes and others just barely beyond the September morn predicament. Bingo! popped the four-inch gun on the fo'scle and then followed a second shot from the four-inch on our port side, and so it continued while we raced towards the sub, six shots being fired in all. If hits were made, only three shots could 28 CAERULEA '19 have been effective for our sail-boat was dropping from view. Arriving on the spot where our camouflaged friend had submerged, the depth-bomb rack gave a click, and over the stern rolled an ash- can followed almost instantly by a tremendous explosion as a mountain of water shot into the air. But no sub. Everyone was well excited by this time and scanning the sea on all sides. A quarter- master picked up the wake of the under-sea craft and, swinging around to starboard, we steamed just a little ahead of the sub and dropped off two more ash-cans, this time with different results. No wreckage and no bodies, as we expected to see but instead iust a young lake of oil came bubbling to the surface. just who was the winner of that little duel, nobody knows. But such was U-boat hunting and convoy duty in the war zone. just like looking for a needle in a hay-stack. George Normington THE ARMY HAS DONE IT FOR ME With a wobbly step I used to walk, And let my shoulders droop: With a little wee voice I used to talk, And let my back bone stoop: 1 But now I hit a cadence quick, And carry my shoulders square: To talk aloud is no big trick, And my spine is straight, I swear. You ask, Oh, how can these things be ? Why the U. S. army has done it for me. VICTORY I used to think our noble flag, That waves so proudly on high, Was nothing more than a colored rag, Set up in the breeze to fly. But now I know 'tis the spirit free, Of the good old U. S. A. That makes the flag so good to see And none can say me nay. For here at home or across the sea The army will fight for you and me. All of these things, and many more The army does for one and all: For those who've heard the cannon's roar, Or those who know not shot or ball: The army took them as they came From cities large or woodland dell, It asked them not their family name, But started in and trained them well.

Carney wears a wound stripe, for one of his adventures was not an escape. ' You want a tale of high adventure for Caerulea. I cannot sup- ply it. My war experiences were not of such a nature as to arouse the jealousy of Foch or Douglas Haig. However, having been in a battery of 75 mm. guns in the 7th Field Artillery of the First Divis- ion, I learned a sober respect for whiz-bangs and NG.

My closest came, not when I was wounded, but a few days before when we were before Hill 240 in the Argonne. We had just completed a rolling barrage when, . .

The Huns knew the First was there, though, for it was the fourth great drive for the Division. Cordially, Allen Carncross Graydon Hoffman champion debater and popular member of the class of '16, who is now a first class quartermaster in the U. S. Navy, has had the distinguished privilege of going over the equator. This sure has been some day. This morning I was in the north- ern hemisphere and now I am in the southern, or in another half of the world from which you are. This morning the whole gang got ready and went to work rigging out some gear to initiate the fellows who had never been over the equator. In the navy you are initiated the first time you cross the line, and the iob was sure done good and proper on this ship. We got the sea anchor stretched up and filled it with salt water. It is a big canvas bag which holds over five tons of water: so it is quite a swimming tank. A large platform was built on top at one side and a trap seat rigged up. Every fellow was lined up and strapped to the trap seat. First he was given a dose of mulligan stew consisting of some of everything which they have in the galley, including mustard, salt, horseradish, pepper, etc. This was administered by the aid of a squirt-gun, which was thrust into the can- didate's mouth. After this we were very thoroughly saturated with lamp black from our waist up Cand downj. Then they took a big paint brush full of it and jammed it down in our hair, eyes and teeth. The white spots were very few and exceedingly far between. After our hair and eyes were clogged up good with this black stuff the trap 32 CAERULEA '19 was pulled and we fell quite a distance into a tank of water. When a few fellows had been dumped in, it looked more like ink than water. The electrician attached some wire to the cables surrounding the tank and we got some nice juicy shocks as we climbed out As we climbed out, a big fire hose like the ones at any city 'fire station was turned on us with about as much force. The water was salty, of course, and simply made the grease and blacking stick harder than ever. It sure was some sight about the deck, believe me. We looked like a south African crew rather than Americans. It took me over two hours to get anyway near white again. . What tickled us all was to see two of the commissioned officers get it as bad as we did. It sure took them down a notch or two. There were only about six of the crew who did not have to go through it: so no one had the laugh on us who did not have to get it themselves. We passed the equator' about 4 p. m. and there sure was a lot to sea. I would give anything for some pictures of it and am going to get a camera the first chance I get. We all got a nice certificate to show that we had been across and I am going to hang onto it until I get out of the navy and then have it framed. It was quite a bit of sport but once was quite enough, thank you. It will take us fully all day tomorrow to clean up the I'I1CSS4 Graydon Hoffman The following interesting letter, which gives a vivid picture cr view of No 1VIan's Land was written by Private, First Class, Lloydi N. Shafer, Observation Group G. 2, First Army Corps, American Ex- peditionary Forces, France: As the name suggests, our work demands that we be occupying a front seat when the curtain rises. Fora week before the last drive we were stationed in a dugout VICTORY V 33 about two kilos from the German front line trenches. We were not very well screened from the Heinies, as was evidenced by the number of shells that dropped in our vicinity whenever we showed ourselves above the ground. just before the drive opened up we moved to a position almost on top of the German lines. Believe me, it was ex- citing during the first few hours of that drive. We were watching the opera- tions from the top of a tree, about forty- Pf, ' . df -' ?i'tF1+ -. . - I five feet above the ground, and it seemed Q L to us that every one of the thousands of ,. shells that came over or went across were missing that tree only by inches. You b I f49'j can't imagine what the bombardment l ' ,: ' was like. There seemed to be miles I as , Ez, and miles of guns, standing hub to hub, and every one being fired just as rapidly WJ as it could be loaded. Then came the barrage and shortly afterward the infantry seemed to spring up from nowhere and start across No lVlan's Land, preceded by the tanks. -' - - T -- M They didn't crouch or run as men going over the top are usually pictured, but walked across in a natural man- ner, behind the protection of the barrage. The tanks were slightly in advance, crushing down the wire entanglements and making it possible for the infantry to get through. After a short period of time, along came another wave of tanks and dough-boys, and these in turn were followed by others. Then when it was evident that the Germans were giving ground the guns began to move up, followed by long' wagon trains of supplies. From our position the battle seemed more like a motion picture than a reality. Of course there was plenty of noise and excitement, 'S . .- ,v 5 1 ' 1 ', li' A ' E B fl ' i '+ r 1 .-3 J' 4?-' 4: 3 , -1 af ' a- ' AV: 0. H ' 2 ,. 4 , 3 ,N ' . ff?

We could see the fellows advancing toward the German trenches. Suddenly they would drop to the ground and almost immediately a shell would plow up the ground and explode in a cloud of dirt and smoke. Then the men would get up and go on as though nothing had happened. Per- haps a closer scrutiny of the spot would reveal some forms lying motionless, and we knew that the shell had found its mark. Occasionally we would see little groups of men wandering about in an apparently aimless manner but on watching them we would see them stop and bend over the fallen ones and we knew them to be the hospital units and, stretcher bearers. To us there came no moans nor cries of pain. That is why it did not seem quite real. Then it came our turn to go across and a mighty laborious task it was, climb- ing over barbed wire and in and out over the German trenches loaded down like pack mules with our blankets, provisions, bird cages, gas masks, helmets, glasses and all. But our going across was easy compared with what the dough-boys went through, for Heinie was too busily engaged elsewhere to send more than an occasional random shot in our direction. We went across in comparative safety but our eyes showed us what the dough-boys had to pay for that ground. You have to hand it to those dough boys. They are wonders. They knew when they climbed out of their trenches they were facing death, but they walked straight ahead without batting an eye. It's no won- der Heinie turned tail and ran when he saw that bunch bearing down on him. I know you are more interested in my experiences or I'd keep on telling you about the infantry, for they are the ones who are deserv- ing of praise. Our satisfaction comes in knowing that we help to make their' successses possible. , Well. we trudged over the battle field, up hill and down hill, through woods and across open fields until finally we came to a VICTORY ' 35 woods where Heinie had an observation post. Here we made our camp or rather made ourselves at home, for Heinie had left us a nice, clean, one-roomed house and a very welcome supply of provisions. From the old German observation post a tree with seven platforms built in it, the top one about niney feet above the ground, we watched Heinie back away, shelling the towns as he went. We saw some wonderful sights from the top of that tree, chief of which were fifteen or sixteen ammunition dumps which were burning during the first couple of nights, and an air battle in which three Huns and two allied planes were brought down. We remained there about a week and then we were moved to our present location, from which we have been witnessing the progress of the latest drive. Here we are living in a dugout on the slope of a hill facing the enemy lines. We have a little port-hole, which af- fords a good view of the battle field. Of course, Heinie is edging away now, but when we arrived here we could almost throw a stone into his front yard. This drive has been a repetition of the former ones, with Heinie showing, perhaps, a little more resistance at some points. 1 i But in spite of his machine-gun nests, he is being steadily driven from this country and it is only a question of time now before he will have to throw up the sponge in acknowledgment of defeat. And that time can't come any too soon to suit us. Lloyd N. Schafer ,.-'H-,N 1, rw' .-A- x Miz ,,,...v'-s' J -. 1 '!L xx- i avg- 'if' :ffl ffl- Fi Y. - if - , lc ,Q-!g2, 25.f '9n'H!g.

Brennes, in Haute-Marne, France. Here there were a number of children so poor that our battalion got seven hundred francs together to buy them presents. On Christmas Eve we decorated our Y. IVI. C. A. and had a large Christmas tree lighted with candles. In front of the tree we put a sign reading Joyeux Noel, meaning Merry Christmas. All the French people sat in front and the tankers be- hind. All those taking part were from our battalion except a returned French soldier with one leg, who sang three French songs. Therel were two quartets, a cartoonist from our billet, and two soloists. One of the men from our company, who speaks very good French, intro- duced the participants, first in French, and then in English. Later he came on the stage dressed as Santa Claus, called the names of each child and gave him a package. The children were surely happy and it made us happy too, to see them so. I have been from North to South and East to West in France, visiting all the largest cities, and I am ready to go back to good old Long Beach now. We are near Bordeaux waiting for a transport and expect to be home with my discharge within two months. Douglas A. Normington William te Groen's description of an aerial night raid proves that he hasn't lost his literary ability. He was formerly a contributor to Caerulea and a Telegram reporter. It is a very interesting sight at night to watch an aerial raid. First the big searchlights, which are turned on after dark, sweep the sky, and when the enemy aeroplane is located, an alarm is sounded., A big siren whistle throws the alarm in all directions thru the use of VICTORY 37 big megaphonesIw 'pmntfto the four winds. Then the order for lights out is given, and wherever possible black screens are placed over the windows of Army office buildings so that the work will go on uninterrupted within. The artillery turns loose. All of the hills surrounding the town near which we are located bristle with anti-air- craft guns, and their flashes jab thru the darkness on all sides when the aeroplanes are overhead. Then appear the momentary flashes of the shells high up in the sky. Searchlights play all about following the German planes, which are so high that powerful night glasses are needed to observe them and to direct the fire of the guns. At momentary instances dull, heavy explosions occur as the bombs dropped from the aeroplanes strike the ground. Despite the acti- vity of the airplanes in this section, the town near which we are seems to have suffered very little, if any at all, from these night raids. A William te Groen Second lieutenant I-Iarold Crowe of the Sanitary Corps of the U. S. Army stationed at lVlars-sur-Allier, France, has sent his most vivid, unforgettable impression from Over There. I do not write of war. I have never seen the war. We lads of the sg O. S., two hundred miles behind the lines, often say we wish we had joined the army instead of the medical corps. But I have seen sights before which strong men turned faint and ran, and of them all there lives in my memory most vividly the scenes of a long, low, brick room lined with cardboard, roofed with tar paper, and heated by a miserable little iron stove, which by suggestion made the cold room seem colder. Down its center ranged a long row of surgi- cal tables. At one end entered a. continuous line of stretcher-bearers 38 CAERULEA '19 with their shattered men. Out the other end there passed a line of similarly burdened men carrying the broken bodies now splintered, bandaged, strapped into what semblance was possible of their normal selves. And on the tables all day long, day after day for weeks, the wounded lads came and went, while masked surgeons in their long white gowns and rubber gloves worked with glittering instruments at swabbing, washing, bandaging, splintering, amputating, as the endless procession of mutilated bodies passed before them. There was never a silence. All day long the mingled groans, curses, shrieks, and the hysterical laughter of men, injured beyond belief, were grue- some and sickening even to men inured to suffering. And always there was the putrid odor of gangrenous flesh, an odor indescribably offensive and from which the workers could never escape day or night for weeks of this heart-breaking toil. No I shall not forget those days in the sombre, peaceful quietude of rural France. ' Yours sincerely, Harold E. Crowe '13 Raymond Brite, valedictorian of 1914, was privileged in a fifteeen days' permission in France, which proved to be a wonderful exper- ience, even more wonderful because Uncle Sam paid the bills. Do I dare to attempt to describe in any sort of detail my glorious fifteen days' permission? F We awakened about nine o'clock to find ourselves in the lovely Riviera district of France. On our right was the marvelous, placid, deep blue Mediterraneang on our left rose the majestic Alps, the far distant peaks snow-capped and the near ones covered with beautiful VICTOTQY , - ' 39 flowers and verdure. I shall never forget the overcoming and varying sense impressions I experienced as our train wound around the rugged coast, through picturesque little hamlets, skirting the edge of cliffs, with our engine almost dipping her nose in the Mediterranean itself at times. Then we realized that we had not made our trip in vain. If we had gone no farther, our reward would have been commensurate with our previous discomforts. 1 But the great surprise came when we reached Nice! What a perfect gem she is, nestled on the shores of the sea, cradled in great' cliffs and hills, and tenderly padded with rich tropical trees and plants: palms, pepper, and eucalyptus, and a rank growth of flowers and shrubbery similar to California. The Y. M. C. A. gave us accom- modations at the Beau Rivage CBeautifu1 Shorej Hotel, right on the water front overlooking the sea. We were given a delightful room, with twin beds so soft that we nearly smothered when we lay in them. The minute the liveried bell-boy ushered us into our room and we were alone, I said to Arthur: Don't wake me from this won- derful dream. And it was just a dream of comfort and ease. Our hotel was as fine as any in Nice. We had elevators hot baths, maid and valet service, excellent meals, music by a splendid orchestra, and a luxurious lobby, where we could loaf, read, write, chat, and listen to the music, just as we willed. And, if you please, everything was paid for by old Uncle Sam, even down to such small items as tips. We were not out one penny for subsistence and we were accorded all the privileges and courtesies of any paying guest. The French peo- ple marveled at the generous way Uncle Sam treats his boys on leave. And Nice is only one of the many leave centers in France. The Y. M. C. A. has taken over the huge Casino there, and made it into a brilliant and well-appointed recreation center: wonderful treading and writing rooms, excellent canteen, with all sorts of good things to eat, splendid vaudeville every evening, and dancing and games after 40 CAERULEA '19 the show. Our seven days at Nice and vicinity were just one glorious succession of trips and rich adventures. One day took us on a journey, under guide, to Monte Carlo, Mon- aco, Menton, and northern Italy. Monte Carlo is simply the wonder spot of the world. I have never seen anything like it before. The gardens and buildings defy description! One day there, during lun- cheon, I dined opposite a typical old Parisian gambler, seventy-three years old, who plays the games regularly. I got quite well ac- quainted with him, and he gave me a live-franc poker chip as a souve- nir. It is genuine ivory inlaid with silver, bearing the monogram HM. CKY On our return, we had a delightful five hours at Marseilles, the greatest sea port in France. We had as company there a most charm- ing little Blue Devil, Jacques de la Perriere, a fine chap just twenty years old, who was returning to Lyon after a permission of his own at Cannes. We arrived in Paris the evening of Friday, the 13th. We got up the next morning to find the city all a-thrill and teeming with ex- citement. Wilson was scheduled to arrive at ten o'clock, and all Paris was en fete : flags and bunting were everywhere: the streets were crowded with excited, expectant people: everyone was out in his best: now and then French troops marched by us with a quick step: and a squadron of Blue Devil bicycle riders whizzed by, headed by about twenty trumpeters, all blowing lustily. Mobs were everywhere, and we were about to consider ourselves out of luck for a vantage point, when up on the Champs Elysees, near the Arch of Triumph, we found a thrifty Frenchman who had elevated some boxes and was selling standing room at three francs a head. We installed ourselves there and had a splendid view of everything that took place. On the stroke of ten, the whole city quivered with twenty-one blasts from a great cannon, which signaled the President's arrival, and in about ten min- utes the crowd was tense, as far down the avenue the procession was VICTORY ' 41 seen to approach. President Wilson and President Poincare were in the first carriage. I shall never forget the deafening cheers that went up as he passed. There is no doubt but that he is one of the greatest heroes the world has ever known. And the French idolize him. You have undoubtedly read already in the newspapers long descriptions of Paris' behavior that day: of the wild, excited crowds on the boulevards: the kissing of Yanks by French girlsz the drag- ging of captured German guns through the streets loaded with flag- bedecked men and women, shouting: Vive Vilsong1 All Paris was turned loose in one outburst of carnival. No matter how adroitly one might command words he could not describe it. Paris is a state of mind that must be experienced, a pulse that must be felt! That evening at dinner, which we took in a keen little Parisian restaurant on a back street out of the beaten path of the to-be-avoided American- patronizing restauranteers, at our table we had the company of a most charming American lady from New York City. She had bought an ambulance, which she had driven at the front until the Armistice was signed. She was very proud of her modest rank of corporal. One could easily see that she was a woman of wealth and breeding. Our conversation drifted to the subiect of opera. I told her that we were planning to visit the famous Paris Opera before we left the city. She said we should do so by all means, and as she left the table, she slipped ten francs into my hand, saying, You boys take this and see then opera tonight on me: it will be a great treat for me if you accept. I looked up as if to remonstrate, but she insisted. I shall never miss it, I live so simply over here, she said. With that our Lady Bounti- ful was gone. 1VIonna Vanna was the opera,-a magnificent piece, followed by an excellent ballet, produced as only artistic Paris knows how to do that sort of thing. Between acts, we promenaded the grand foyer and the world-famous Paris Opera staircase with the smartest opera patrons of the evening. And then we stood for a time on the I5 ' CAERUIEIA ,15 balconies, looking down the Avenue de l'Opera, over the seething mass of humanity engrossed in mad revelry. On Monday morning we reluctantly left the great city of Paris, rnd by noon were back to the hum-drum of Tours, with its Reveille, bed slats, mess kits, and all, Our dream was ended. But what a rich store of memory we shall have to live on until that great day when We come marching home! Raymond Brite Ray Iredell of the 91st division tells of the French respect and admiration of the American Emancipatorsf' One day lastDecember I was walking with a friend through the manor streets of a French fishing village on the shores of the Mediter- ranean. As we strolled along I noticed that we were causing a great excitement. Pedestrians stared at us, shop keepers came to the doors of their little stores, and children ran to call their parents. At last an old woman timidly stopped us and asked if we were not Americans, and when I laughingly told her that we were, she turned to her neigh- bors and said in awed tones, Oui,ils sont des Americans. Then the truth dawned on me that we were the first United States soldiers that most of them had seen, for we were in a section litle visited by Ameri- cans. This was, indeed, he cause of all the curiosity. These people were closely examining us as representatives of that great nation which had come to their aid: representatives of the wonderful industrial America: but especially as representatives of that great' republic of lofty ideals, for to the French the United States is above all else, a nation whose people are stirred with an unselfish devotion to a higher moral idealism. Everywhere that morning we met the i I 1 i I I I ' VICTORY 43 same respectful glances, the same pleasant smlies, along with a deep feeling of pride, for there in that little village was revealed to us as never before what a high and sacred privilege it is to be able to say, Yes, I am an American. Sgt. Ray Iredell Hal Carroll, '14, one of our former debaters, has felt the tingle' of true, sacred American patriotism. A BRIDGE AT LYON I stood looking across the Rhone river at the dim lights of the city of Lyon barely piercing the murky darkness which over-hung the city. Twenty or thirty feet ahead, faintly lit by a few electric' points of light, I noticed a stone bearing I supposed, the name of this particular bridge. For no other reason than that I had noticed the names of all the other bridges I had seen in the last few days, I strolled leisurely up to look at this one. Pont de President Wilson I read, and a thrill of pride passed through me. A thrill of pride that I was an American, a native of the country which gave birth to this strangely quiet and forceful man who had brought the French nation to his feet, and for whom they had named this immense bridge, plain, yet magnificent in its plainness. How like Wilson! Made of plain white stone: without ornate statues, fringes, or decorations of :ny sort: thoroughly democratic in its simplicity, it was as different as day from night from the Pont de Alexander III, which I had just Icft at Paris. It breathed the spirit of Democracy and simple living as completely as the Pont de Alexander III exhaled the spirit of im- perialism with accompanying luxury and excess. 44 CAERULEA '19 Across the broad back of Wilson bridge, the plain people of France: workmen, shopkeepers, soldiers, and wandering merchants plied their way in safety across the roaring current of the Rhone, as dark, powerful, and treacherous as the manifold powers which at that time were rushing at the feet of President Wilson himself in a final desperate attempt to trip him up and sweep out of existence the fruits Whichthe common people of France and the world had won on that final, victorious. bloodsoaked field. Imperialism, reaction, graft, par- tisanship in America, Bolshevism-all roared and raged against those firm stone pillars upholding the broad back of Wilson bridge, Back and forth passed the endless multitude of every-day people in safety over the raging forces beneath, to the other side, there to vanish in the city to find their various goals of happiness and content. The bridge stood fast-with Wilsonian firmness, democratic simplicity, Ameri- can steadfastness. A Hal H. Carroll QQ . 7 .

You betl Have you ? - J Mildred Webster could not help hearing the conversation going on just back of her. It seemed to her that every one was going to the senior party but her. just that morning between classes Mil- dred's chum had told her that she had a date. Of course Ross wouldn't take me, she mused. He seems to have a terrible crush on that pretty auburn-haired girl. I'm hardly acquainted with any of the other boys, but that's what comes from entering a new school in theumiddle of the year. Now if I were back home-, and her thoughts wandered to those scenes of class festivi- ties in the little school from which she had come, where it seemed everyone was acquainted. just then her meditations were interrupted by the bell. As she was gathering up her books, she heard some one speak, and looking up saw Phil Crayton, one of her English classmates, beside her. Looks like the senior party is going to be quite an affair, does- n't it? I suppose you are planning on going, he said. ' Well,-I'd like to, Mildred ialtered. May I take you P Phil asked rather suddenly. ' He had planned to ask her to accompany him, but certainly not in such an abrupt manner. He noted her confusion and waited eagerly for her answer. Why-yes! I'd love to go, she finally managed to respond. LITERARY 51 Then don't forget Friday, the thirteenth, Phil replied. That evening as Mildred was walking home from school she heard the rattle of an approaching Ford, and turned to see her old, Eastern friend, Ross Miller, drive along side the curb. Hello, Mildred! he called. Suppose you are planning on going to the senior party? Well, ever since you've been here, I've had it in mind, and now that the time has come, will you go with me P Mildred was somewhat taken back by his question, but she man- aged to reply, I'd be glad to, but- Ross evidently did not hear the last, for he called back as he started off, I knew you'd accept. I'd take you home only I'm on my way to the garage for Dad. Who'd ever thought Ross Miller was going to ask me ? Mildred sighed. I wonder what's the matter with him and the other girl? Funny he'd be so anxious to take me. , But what a fix I'm ini Hardly two hours ago I was all out of sorts because I didn't have a date, and now I have one too many. Mildred's mind was certainly far from her lessons that evening. She pictured herself going to the party with two gentlemen escorts. Ross was probably expecting to escort her in the Ford. Perhaps Phil would prefer to go by iitney. In her mind she fancied the angry glances of the two boys, the rivalry between them and she smiled at the thought. But she knew that that would never do. She therefore resolved to explain the misunderstanding to Ross at her earliest op- portunity. However, she saw nothing of Ross the next day, and when she returned home after school, she learned from a neighbor that Ross' small brother. had come down with influenza and that the Millers were under quarantine. ' The news was not entirely unwelcome to Mildred, for now she would be saved from explaining to Ross. She was sure that he would not possibly be out by the time of the party, and although she felt 52 CAERULEA '19 anxious for little Bobby, she was glad that, if such a thing had to happen, it had happened at this opportune time. But on Wednesday of the eventful week, as Mildred was hurry- ing down the hall with only a minute to spare before the last bell, a cheery Hello there ! greeted her, and she turned to see Ross Miller beside her. I-I-thought you were-thought you were under quaran- tine! she stammered. A Yes, we were, but it was lifted last night. You see, they could- n't keep me from ,taking you to the senior party, he said in a care-free voice. I wouldn't disappoint you that way. Oh, if he only had! thought Mildred. just then the bell rang, and with three great strides Ross had passed thru the door opposite, and Mildred saw him seated calmly in his seat as she hurried past. It was no wonder that she answered weakly, I don't know, when her civics teacher asked her where the Peace conference was being held, for here on the very eve of the occasion, Ross had appeared with no apparent thought but that he was to escort her to the party. ItwiI1 be a mean trick to turn him down now, but what else can I do? 'I'here's one thing sure though, and that is that I must explain quickly and be done with it. Mildred had a nice little speech all prepared when she met Ross the next day, but she found it hard to begin. Finally Ross came to the rescue and broached the subiect by asking what time he should call for her the following evening. I-I say, Ross. she began desperately. I'm awfully sorry, but-. , Now don't tell me that your mother's afraid you will catch the 'flu' and thinks you had better stay home, because I am determined to take you this once if never again. This is going to be a great affair, you know, Ross laughingly interrupted. LITERARY t E Yes, I know, but-. Now listen, Milly, if your mother really does object to your going, I'll just have to come over and talk to her a while. You know she always did like me, and I think she will let you go. But maybe she'll give me a ginger cooky and send me home as she used to when I was a little boy. Here they both laughed, and then Mildred made another attempt. But Ross, it's not that. I have-. Oh bother! You're more finiky than your mother. There will be plenty of robes, and we can make old Liz hit the clip. You just leave that to me, and I'll say we will. Gee, that's Miss Roberts! I had an appointment with her to make up some work, and I nearly forgot it. Will you excuse me, Milly? I'll be over Friday evening about 7:3O. Oh, what's the use P Mildred sighed -as she saw Ross disappear down the hall. He hasn't any idea of what I was trying to tell him. He will surely be peeved if I try to explain now. Then an idea came to her. Why not tell Phil that she was un- able to go? He certainly would not make another date now, and he might never know she had gone with another boy. It would be the only resort, for she saw clearly that Ross could not be turned off easily. As she took her seat in English class that afternoon, Phil touched her on the arm. Shall I call for you about 7:00 tomorrow evening? Dad says I may have the cars so if you like we shall have time for a short ride. Something in his tone as he spoke made her ashamed to think she had ever thought of such a thing as refusing his invitation now. Instead of answering, she only smiled and dropped her eyes to her' book. The next day dawned dark and gloomy for Mildred. At the mention of the party she shivered. 54 CAERULEA '19 If only something would happen, she sighed. It's all my fault, though. I should have explained matters in the beginning and not trusted to luck. It was in this frame of mind that she went to her fourth period class where the bulletin was read. It began- According to an order received by the Board of Education from the health department, the city schools of Long Beach will be closed Friday, January 13 for an indefinite length of time. It has also been found necessary to postpone the senior party scheduled for tonight. Mildred could have shouted for joy, but her attention was at- tracted by the remarks made around her, and to one in particular. These 'flu' vacations certainly are a calamity-. Mildred did not hear the sentence finished. I-Im! she thought. It may be a calamity, but it's a fortunate calamity for me. - - TO A FRESHMAN Vivian Belshe '19 When lessons are hard and teachers are cross, Don't fuss or make any plea: For conditions were thus at the starting of time, And thus they always will be.

I almost fancied that I heard the flowers and the moon whisper to each other. Bending, I touched a branch and found it soaked in moisture: I broke it off, and dew drops fell sparkling to the ground. The rain and wind, which had continued since the morning, had ceased and the stillness of the moonlit night was soothing beyond description. The leaves of the fig tree by the well. rustledz then all was silent. The whole yard fell asleep in the moonlight and the shadows. Only -at long intervals dew drops from the coves whispered together in the shadow. ' TO A WINTER MOON Florence Crandall '20 Oh moon, thou phantom of the night, How shyly from December's surly sky Thy pallid face looks down. O'er each white hillock creeps thy fickle light And flings each thickening shadow on the glen. The fretful winds that sweep o'er these cold plains Now chant, now wail, as by some might-spell bound. A gaunt gray form arises on the mound, And hear! The hound, poor whining cast-away, Hurls up to thee his wild complaining bay. Then cringing from the horrors of the night, thou wanest away, And the night-shades blacken. ' 4. AND MEDAL5 Helen Dana Starkey 20 ' 1:-ffigif . , 5 is-A 'i ' -we . ,ii ' f 'sf A 3 Q'-1 425? -5?-Q73-' . I i ' The chair car had few occupants beside I. Phillip Chase: in fact, he had one whole side to himself. His homecoming to Corriston was giving him plenty to think about. Surrounded by Corriston Echoes and Daily Journals he reviewed for the third or fourth time, half-amused, half-flattered, the lengthy articles concerning the return of I. Phillip Chase, iormer resident of Corriston, and heir to the estate and interests of his uncle, the late Josiah P. Chase, wealthy New York manufacturer, and, J, Phillip Chase, until recently a prominent figure in Corriston society, and nephew of the wealthy manufacturer in the metropolis the late P. Chase. Smiling in deep self-satisfaction at these elaborate articles, he could almost picture his arrival in Corriston, as he should stride along Belmont Drive to the old home where he had lived with his step-father. He should appear entirely unconscious of the fluttering window curtains at his left and right. Wonder what's become of Tim O'Rourke and Al Burton in these two years, as memories of his one-time rivals brought an ex- pression of mingled amusement and disdain to his face. I bet they're still pokin' 'round at this or that as usual. They'd make some show in the City. .Wonder what Stetson and Parker and the boys at the club would say about them? Not much class. And he laughed at the recollection of the shock of absurdly red hair that characterized Tim and distinguished him from the other Corriston boys. But there were some remininscences which brought a tender smile to his face, One was Olivia Tare, who, with her hazel curls, alluring dimples, and deep blue eyes, had once claimed his entire sa -' CAERULEA-:E attention. Not bad at all, he mused. In fact, she's a peach in comparison with those Varden and Randolph girls. Dressed up, she'd make a hit on Broadway-'gad she would! He hadn't written to Olivia. He half regretted it now. But undoubtedly she would still be waiting for him-surely she wouldn't go with Tim O'Rourkel She had always despised him, he reflected: she even used to make fun of his red hair. There would surely be more than a chance for him, for would not Corriston be in a terrific bustle of importance, in having a millionaire in its midst who had shared honors with the society folk of the city? It was nearly dusk. He could see the rolling hills which sep- arated Corriston from the station on the East Side, standing out clearly against the faint lavender-gray of the sky. And just before it, like a lovely thread, ran the river over the level meadow lands, until it, too. was swallowed up in the pale wistaria twilight. Phillip knew that just beyond the bend of those rolling hills was Corriston, and he began to arrange his tie with the utmost precision. He flicked imaginary cinders from his coat-sleeve, and replaced his handkerchief in his pocket. On the shining surface of the window, he glanced at his reflection, to see that his hair was smoothly sleeked back before he put on his hat. Swinging down the aisle, he stood in the doorway until the train drew in before Corriston depot. He saw the village for the first time since his two years' absence. It looked about the same. The depot, the small plaza, and the theater were all as they had looked on that day when, accompanied by a bevy of village beauties, Olivia and the rest, he had pompously boarded the train for New York City. But now there was an unmistakable tang in the air-a vibrant enthusiasm which had taken the place of the lackadaisical drowsiness of the past. The street was decorated as far as he could see with festoons and garlands of red, white, andblue. Windows blazed with a riot of color, with flags and emblems. Arches and pillars for blocks and blocks were draped and twined with LITERARY 59 the brilliant display that wreathed the whole town. J. Phillip strode along, his wonder increasing at the gala attire of the place, at the note of suppressed excitement and anticipation in the air, at the peo- ple, as they hurried by. As he turned up his own avenue, his thoughts reverted to his own personal interests. He must find some means of seeing Olivia before the evening was over. He determined to stop by later. Doubtless she had no other engagements: there were few Corriston boys with whom she went, he remembered. Into the library he swung. uDad In U I The figure at the fireside turned quickly in response. A hurried greeting, and J. Phillip was soon launching upon his prodigious enterprise in the City. So you didn't have to enlist, Phil ? Oh, no, Dad. You know-well-you know there has to be some one to look after uncle's business. I-well, they let me off, he finished lamely, before his stepfather's steady gaze. Of course- of course I'd like to have gone, but-. The elder tapped the mantel in silence for a few moments, then, I see, my boy. I. Phillip fancied he heard a world of unuttered sadness and dis- appointment in the tone. Would his step-father rather see him in khaki? But it had all seemed so plausible to him. The factory needed supervision-that was undeniable. Perhaps if there was another reason for his immense relief at his exemption, Phillip had not the courage to analyze it. And by the way, the other broke in, there's a big ball at the Greenleaf tonight, to welcome home the returned soldiers. Better go, Phil. Who's going to be there-same crowd P Mrs, Tare's planned it. It's to be a great affair, so I under- stand. eo ' CAERULEA '19 Yes, I'll go, Dad. I. Philip inwardly reckoned that this would be an excellent place to introduce himself to Corriston as the millionaire of the community. At half-past eight he sauntered leisurely along Greenleaf Aveune, recalling well the times when he and Olivia had likewise sauntered leisurely along-together. i She'll probably be with her folks, for she never went with any of the fellows but me, he reflected. S'pose Tim's all right, but she objected to his red hair-it was an awful mop, and I can't say I much blame her, generously. Gad, but she'll be glad to see mel g If he had been the newly-acquired idol of the famous old draw- ing rooms and ballrooms in the great metropolis, he could vividly picture his reception at the Greenleaf affairs . He was half an hour late. Thus had he planned it. He sat down by a fern twined pillar, and searched among the couples for' Olivia. One less accustomed to ball-room scenes and festivities than I. Phillip might have been awe-struck by the beautiful sight which this particular ball-room presented. But J. Phillip was a millionaire, and millionaires and ball-rooms are inseparable. I So the delicately- hued silks and chiffons, and gleaming silver slippers did not go to his head. If anything did, it was the superfluity of their khaki-clad partners. Still, it might have been the absence of Olivia. She might be ill-she might need him-she was certainly not there-unless- yes, it was she, and, For the love of Pete 1 It fell unheeded from his lips, at the sight of the radiant, lovely Olivia in the company of a tall, khaki-clad boy with-yes, with a shock of red hair on his head that made J. Phillip's heart stop beating for a second. He wondered vaguely who he was. The very red shock of hair was painfully familiar to him. He glanced with increased incredulousness around the room. He tried to avoid the painful sight. He groaned at the way Olivia looked up at this-this mere private 1- She had looked up that way at him.

The lieutenant had an extremely disagreeable duty to perform, and the fact that he thought it such was plainly visible to the group of giggling, wriggling girls he had come in to drill. Don was not very fond of the fair sexg in fact, he always steered clear of them in and out of the classrooms. Things are certainly being made miserable for us poor cadets, he thought as he stared at the row of laughing, chattering maids. These girls ought to be taking their silly little dances instead of military training. He sighed deeply and called out with brisk military accent the command, Right Dress. Aw, Mary, please let me squeeze in here, won't you? I don't care if I am tall. I have to stand by Ruth. The tall girl who ut- tered these words was busily engaged in shoving the line to the right and left to make a placeufor herself between two friends. Say, Marge, isn't he the funniest looking thing you ever saw? murmured a girl in another part of the line. These and various other comments reached the ears of the em- barrassed cadet officer.

And Canada, pure as gold. 62 CAERULEA '19 He touched her lightly on the shoulder, and with all his dig- nity and newly-acquired hauteur, began, . Good-evening, Olivia. Good-evening, Mr. Chase, quite casually, quite formally, then, with almost a significant glance at his evening suit, You know we're welcoming home our returned soldier-boys, Mr. Chase. Ah! I'm so proud of them, truly. I think a soldier is the gr-andestperson I could ever hope to meet! And by the way did you know Tim is here this evening? There he is-see, over by the door, and she nod- ded toward the tall soldier with the shock of very red hair, whom I. Phillip had feared was he. You knew he won the Croix de Guerre, didn't you? He's-he's so good to me-I really don't deserve it, smiling at I. Phillip's very evident discomfiture. Then, with a characteristic change of mood, she asked rather coolly, You escaped the draft, Mr. Chase ? His almost inaudible reply about exemption, important work in factory, and wanting to go, were met with a queer little smile on her part. But you must meet Tim, Mr. Chase. she said. He'lI be glad to see an old acquaintance. And then with a delightful little blush as she hurried off, she added softly, We're engaged, you? know. With a very red face, and a disagreeable lump in his throat, I. Phillip Chase, millionaire, manufacturer, and prominent member of New York society circles, swung sheepishly from the room. Tim was not to have the pleasure of meeting him that night. head: he even thought of his inheritance which usually restored his equilibrium in a panic. All in vain! With a final effort his emotions veered from a mild degree of in- sanity and terror, to an overwhelming sense of anger and jealousy, and then to a great relief, in which he gave vent to a stifled chuckle. Olivia-the poor child-Cwhy had he never thought of this be- 'for'e?j-she had been so lonely! She had had no one to dance with, and so had resorted to this-person. J. Phillip felt rather weak when he thought who her partner might possibly be. He alluded to him as this person, simply because he dreaded to think it might, be Tim . I. Phillip had a fine imagination, and Olivia looked so sweet and lovely that night, that it was impossible for him to refrain from picturing her in that great mansion on Fifth Avenue! How she would look in the grand old drawing room with the rich, velvet hang- ings. And in that lovely old garden what a picture she would make, with her-. But she was coming in his direction-iust like an exquisite but- terfly, he thought. He began to make his way over to her. He imagined her greeting-outstretched arms, the alluring dimples, the heightened color and the stammered Oh-oh-Phil! He would propose that very night! LITERARY' 65 Right dress, he again commanded, but the command died on his lips as he saw a mischievous little imp archly winking at him. To drown his discomforture he hastily began to explain the order which had not seemed to have much effect upon the assembled com- pany. His eyes traveled down the crooked row of girls and rested on Mary Jones, who was whispering excitedly to her left hand neighbor, her right hand on her hip. You don't know your right hand from your left, I suppose? he muttered sarcastically. Mary arched her left eyebrow slightly and remarked nonchal- antly to her friend, Don't those cadets think they know it all, though? ' Donald's ears reddened slowly at the tips. He longed to dash out of the door, but knew there would be no escaping until the end of the period. He labored thru various simple military drills, painstak- ingly explaining each one over and over again. The company was just beginning to execute a squads right fairly well when a piercing shriek rent the air. Hey, wait a minute l Donald waited in exasperation for a girl in the first squad to dart out of line after a white object that had fallen on the floor. To tell the truth, there was nothing he could do but wait, for the girl had run directly in the path of the oncoming squads. A The young lady picked up the object and gazed at it ruefully. It was perfectly new, and now look at it, she mourned. Dorothy Green, if you ever knock my powder puff out of my hand when I'm powdering my nose, I'll-. The sentence was cut short by the ringing of the dismissal bell.

Quiet as angels they waited, and they heard Miss Hall declare: One word, my handsome compeer, I'm after some ditchers bold, But I shall be back with the pad of pink slips before the morn is old: Yet, if my Ford has a breakdown, and detains me all the day, Then look for me by midnight, ' Watch for me by midnight, I'll come to school by midnight, though cops should bar the way. A She did not come in the morning: she did not come at noon, And out of the busy office, ere the bell had rung its tune, When students were strolling idly with innocent air to the store, David Burcham came marching- Marching-marching- Daddy Burcham came marching up to the study-hall door. But he found the room deserted, for the boys had missed Miss-Hall, And were searching the meadows and ditches and the shadows' of every wall, For somewhere the Ford was dying with a tire blown into bits: There was glass strewn in every spot, , Heaps of glass in one dark spot, For the Ford had smashed through a window, when it lost its scat- tered wits. And still of an early morning, they say, when the .wind is in the trees, When the sun is a flaming galleon tossed upon murky seas LITERARY ' When the road is a ribbon of asphalt over the wind-swept hill Miss Hall in her Ford comes riding- Riding-riding- Miss Hall in her Ford comes riding up to the school door-sill. A FRESH1VIAN'S QUESTION Doris Aden '19 What's an A? Something to ponder. Students wonder at its effect. 'Tis not here-still yonder, yonder, Never urchin found it yetQ What is school ? A little pond Or a sea, with a shore On the brink of beyond- We are sunk and seen no more. What's a pink slip ? Yon foolish duckling Vainly strives for one and frets: Desiring all, deserving nothing. One small D is what he gets. CAERULEA '19 ALL THE STYLE Katherine Kimball '19 In recent days as well you know The ladies all did learn to knit, And socks and sweaters in endless row Were made our stalwart boys to fit. Each woman did her earnest bit But times are changing all the while And flying needles no longer flit, , These days war gardening is all the style. In Flanders' fields the poppies blow, But shell torn lands do not permit The starving peasants there to sow Their needed crops: so now when lit With fires of love, whose benefit Will be the blessings we can pile Upon their heads, we must not sit. These days war-gardening is all the style. Beans, peas, and cabbages will grow With little aid from garden kit. What though your hands will blister so, They soon are cured by glove or mit. Be a good sport! just grin and bear it E'en though back-aches your time beguile. Win fashion's favor by true merit. These days war-gardening is all the style. LITERARY t - 71 L'Envoi O people, show the world your spirit, Keep on working yet awhile! Neither need you pleasure forfeitg These days war-gardening is all the style. ARE YOU GOING TO THE GAME? Les Cummins ,'20 . Oh1 Bill! are you going to the Manual Arts-I... B. game to- morrow? ' What1 Am I going to the game? Am I? Me? Am I going to do any more breathing after I get this lungful used up? Ask me, Will I eat any more food this year? ' You want to know if I am going to see Long Beach turn Manual upside down and inside out, shake her up and slash her suidewise and otherwise treat the city boys rough in the fond hope that Foster's growling pets will realize that they have as much chance of 'beating a Green and Gold team, as Homer has of making me believe the Ody- ssey. Am I going? Is the sun coming up tomorrow? You could- n't keep me from that game if you put a protective tariff of ninety- nine per cent ad Valorem, whatever that means, on the front gate. The sixth Regiment of U. S. Marines would have as much chance of keeping me away from seeing Manual massacred, as a snowball has of surviving in Death Valley. I'm going to that battle royal, and when the Long Beach team comes out on the field I am going to get up and give as near a correct imitation of a Roman mob and a German riot as my throat will stand: and if we put the kibosh on Foster and the large-footed, humpy shouldered, behemoths we're go- ing up against Saturday, I'm going out and burn the city iail. -Any Long Beach student who is a gentleman would do it. Oh man! Am I going? Am I? I'll say I am! ' T 1 N CAERULEA '19 THE LAW OF THE SCHOOL CApologies to Kiplingj Eunice Biddle '19 Now this is the law of the school- as old and as true as the sky: And the Students who keep it may prosper, but the Student who breaks it must fly. As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, T forward and back runs the rule: The strength of the School is the Student, and the strength of the Student the School. Keep peace with the heads of -the school here, the principal, teachers, and board. ' Trouble them not by your mischief, and work with no thought of reward. If you plunder the rights of a weaker, destroy not all in thy pride: School right is the right of the meanest: let none in his might over-ride. ' Now these are the laws of the School, and many and mighty are they 3 But the first and the last of the Law, the beginning, the end is-obey! I - , 1 LITERARY 73 THE DESERTED STREET Mildred Youle '20 Verily, eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard, nor mind compre- hended the terrible sound of stillness that echoes through the deserted village-did I say village?-aye, verily a city, where the street like a long measuring worm stretches for blocks and seems to extend for miles on into endless silence. On this deserted street where never a soul trespasses, no alien foot ever mars the smooth white, dustless pavement, smooth and white as when first made by the artistic hand of man. No banana peels or remains of cherry flips endanger life and limb, and there are no gos- siping high school students standing on the corner waiting for a bus. No sun shines down this long, long, street. No moon gazes down on spooning couples. The city is lit with the gray light of a cloudless day, and no shadows from the buildings rest their weary lengths in any direction. The trees in that little square have never swayed to the tender caress of a wayward breeze. No faces peep out of the hundreds of windows. No high school boys stop to look in the plate glass windows. Trees, fountain are wrapped unmercifully. endlessly, indeterminately in the awful mystery of silence. We reverence it deeply, this deserted city: the purple reflections of the sky sympathize with us in our blues , The everlasting win- dows smile at us in our troubles and the endless street cheers the lonely freshie. Sky, street, windows all shriek with the tremendous action of infernal quietude. We revere it all, fully realizing that no gray woodland scene or mountain glade could cheer and inspire us as doth the deserted, depopulated city on the stage curtain in the. auditorium! ' CAERULEA '19 THE SENIOR SPECTRE Virginia Woodruffp '19 The ghoul played a tune on his fleshless bones, And danced with a hollow clack, And uttered gruesome groans and moans As he rattled his skinny back. When black midnight descended, He mounted a sable crow And stopped when the flight had ended Before a bungalow. He stalked in through a window, A grim, unwelcome guest, He gave one look at the sleeper, Then bounced upon his chest. He conjured up hideous dreams Of torture with no escapeg He brought ill-thoughts from the cold beams As he writhed his loathsome shape. At last with a voice that shivered Like the wind' through bare, gaunt trees He spoke: and the sleeping senior quivered From his head 'way down to his knees. LITERARY ' T ' 75 O senior, you are doomed to flunk, No good will it do to cram, Your daily work has been too punk,- - I'm here! The English 'xam. SCHOOL STYLES Roy Maggart '19 I Naturally one would suspect that the term styles refers to the feministic part of the high schoolg but contrarily, the word deals only with the opposite, our future soldiers, the Long Beach High School Military Order of Loyal Cadets. This organization is far famed: its disciples extend their sway from Nigger Slough to Alamitos Bay: their numbers run up into-the tens and twenties when the other nines and nineteens are not executing right dress in the subsidiary organization, the Horse Marines. The outward noteworthy fact of these warriors is their uniform, seen all about town, but chiefly round theaters where soldiers are ad- mitted free. Let us not forget to mention the commander-in-chief of these far-flung soldiers, and the other officers Cwho are more numerous than the cadetsj who have worked faithfully in the support of the school by presenting themselves every morning in magnificent illum- inating puttees and shoes, forty-four dollar suits, and six dollar Stet- sons. Ah yes, we have some officers. tNote, casually, the styles of the dust-ridden mob of the lowest order of the cadets. Their uniforms are all of the same color, khaki- brown: but the fit! Tall boys wearing size thirty-two, small boys wearing size forty -in fact, it appears as if the tall boy should change his uniform with the small boy: but these are soldiers. 76 CAERULEA '19 DANGER John Oliver '19 !-rf-Xb A V T- If Oh boy! what Shan 1 ao?

This is' Dora King. Why I wanted' to call up and explain about not handing in last week's work. I was so busy. I'm sure you will understand. On Monday morning my Persian kitten was terribly sick, and oil course I had to devote the whole forenoon to it. Then in the afternoon I had a very important date with the manicurist- my nails had gone for so long they were simply a fright! Of course when I got home I was all tagged out and mother thought I had better have a little recreationg so we went to the movies that evening. I intended fully to do all my work on Tuesday, but Bob called up and wanted me to be sure to go to the matinee with him and, as it was particularly good, mother thought it would take my mind off the hurried conditions of school life and give me a little relaxation. Of course we went to a little dance in the evening. I had promised LITERARY 77 Bob that I would go for so long. We didn't get home till late and so I didn't get up next day till almost noon. I had such a headache. I couldn't do my Buhlig exercises--mother thought it was eye strain, and then I was in such a nervous tension that I had a spell of hysterics. So you may see it was necessary to postpone my lessons for another day. I had had such a strenuous week. Beg pardon! Come up- today? Oh Miss Preston! I'd just love to but I 'oromised some of my friends I'd attend a simple little theatre party this afternoon. And I guess I'l1 have to go now-I have to select a gown for the military ball next Wednesday. The dressmaker is here already. I'll try to-hello--hello! Oh mother, Miss Preston shut off without even saying goodby 1 I-IE DID Lucille lVIcGee '19 A frenzied youth galloped up from the west, And the foam from his steed fell white on his breast, A message from far lands, his duty to fetch, But before him at least fifty robbers did stretch. They tried with all strength to make the youth fall, ' Stand back , he raged, Must I shoot you down, all P' I Then take that, and that. And soon round him lay At least fifty robbers. I-Ie mounted his bay And again galloped forward, aye, yes, even flew, ' And he swore that his message he'd somehow get through, For in his coat pocket was hidden a rhyme, His duty to get to Caerulea on time. 78 ' 5 CAERULEA '19 ' TO ,AMERICAN AVENUE SCHOOL . Naydine Mclntyre '20 School of my youth, thou which holdest memories dear, Art gone. Only ruins mark thy place of old, And sea gulls circle 'round thy charred Walls, Their weird cries echoing through thy silent halls As if they, too, feel the sadness of my heart. Never shall I hear the echoes of thy Walls, Nor dream the dreams of school days in thy rooms, For, thou, American Avenue, art of the past. All that is dear to me is gone. .,, 1-1. sw, 1 xg, K .- 4 I r I ASSEQ , , , J ,- - Y' r Lf' -1' ' -if ..-. :. '-A .'-2 ' .5 -1. - '. V- Wg-!'I-flf,-N' 5, -f .JP-I-I!

Albert Rogers President Frances Covert Vice-president George Brown Secretary ' Walter Hood Treasurer Four years ago We, the class of nineteen, entered Long Beach High School with the required amount of shyness and curiosity-to distinguish us as freshmen. No other class has had such an eventful career, for during our four high school years a 'world war has been fought and We have had the privilege of proving ourselves to be. worthy citizens of the greatest of republics. We are proud of the opportunity and We have tried to make the most of it. In our first year we played the role of ordinary freshmen, learn- SENIOR '19 81 I A ' if Miss Wolcott p . i 5 Class Teacher Miss Lewerenz Class Teacher Mr. Blanks Class Teacher Harry Brown Treasurer ing our duties and responsibilities as citizens of the school. When we were sophomores, through the efforts of Laurence Martin and George Brown, we defeated the seniors in interclass debate by a unani- mous decision. During our first two years I -mention that we had five presidents, but we shall not attempt to account for them. Our junior year was the most eventful aside from the excitement of graduation. This was the most critical period of the war and all our thoughts were centered on our patriotic duties. There were Liberty Bond contests, Red Cross drives, salvage contests, and bene- 5 CAE-:RULEA '19 fit programs, all of which occupied much of our time. From our class play, Alabama, we presented one hundred dollars to the student body, and with the other fifty dollars we bought a Liberty Bond. In this year Raymond Stannard and Charles Purdy won first place for us in interclass debate. Albert Rogers and Wendell Hubbard com- posed the interscholastic debate team and won the Southern California championship. But the senior year is always the most important. The faculty say our tacky day was the best Long Beach has ever had. There were no baby-dolls with curls and bows. It was an honest-to-good- ness tacky day. The senior play, A Scrap of Paper, was put on the first and second of 1VIay. Again this year we presented the money which we cleared to the student body. We are graduating as the Victory Class, to enter larger fields of service, but we shall remember Long Beach High always, and pledge to her our loyalty. A ' ' i'.. Ii., Perhaps the greatest tribute is to say that . n irzi one is dependable: that he does his work hon- if A V -6 estly, thinks clearly, speaks sincerely. Leona f Q. 1' ' ygjfl Hodges won her unusual record because she '1 jp 'Ll g.'. jg' , A -' was dependable. She thought clearly, worked T- '.,, , 4 '-.. , accurately and conscientiously.

However, on this occasion, modesty must be partly sacrificed for truth. The class of 1920 boasts the largest number of people prominent in school affairs. 4 A Who's Who of the school would read like a Who's Who of the junior class. and it would mention the following JUNIOR '20 123 T i Miss Hall . .Class Teacher ' Miss Moore Class Teacher Mr Jones Class Teacher 1 facts-and more of them.

More athletes of the third-year class are Lefebvre, Evans, Taylor, Price, 124 CAERULEA '19 Eastland, Willet, Therieau, Pemberton, Martin, and Richards. The second football team is junior, almost to a man. Two brightest opera stars, Dorothy Howard and Charles James, are juniors. More black and gold representatives are found on the Caerulea staff, including the editor, Eugene Witherg in the Masque and Sandalg in all organizations. 1920 is active, not only as individuals, but collectively, After winning interclass contests without number, and establishing the highest scholarship record, we find time to have an occasional party or so. We are glad to acknowledge that one reason we do so well is that we have been inspired by Mr. Burcham: well directed by our popular class teachers, Miss Hall, Miss Moore, and Mr. Jones: and led by our efficient and favorite class officers, Olive Bursell, Bob Hurst, Hal Ietton, and Tub Coleman. - Next year we are seniors.

They entered the first Liberty Loan Campaign, and the finish found them at the top. They led, too, in the War Savings Stamps drive. Certainly nothing could put a stop to the vivacious twenty- ones except the flu, which stopped everything. When school began again they were once more up and at 'em. They tore things to pieces with their Wim, wigar, and wirtue. Even Tub Coleman in his all-for-the-junior speeches had to admit that the sophs were mighty strong rivals. In every assembly the first yell was, Sophomores! rahl rahl rahl sophomores! And when it came to mid-year graduation, it was the sophs, of course, that did the dec- orating. A In March a costume party was put over at the Ebell Club House, and such a party had never been seen before. Miss Hall judged the costumes and awarded prizes to Eileen Hayes and Melba Hall as the two best looking girls, and to Sam De Bolt as the least worst looking young man. The grand prix went to Don Riley for exhibiting the most ingeniously ridiculous costume. In April the sophomores won the big Y. IVI. C. A. drive, and showed what could be done in salesmanship. In all, they have had a successful, never-to be-forgotten year, due to their own spirit and the help of the class officers and teachers. TRY TO MAKE THINGS BETTER IN THE WORLD.

Many of the alumni of Long Beach High School are still in Long Beach, attending business college, Working, or staying at home. Not wishing to lose the old school friendships, they have organized 'two social clubs. The first was the 1918 Club, which was formed at the Y. W. C. A. early in October with Harriet Raycraft, president: Onita Fancher, vice-president: Grace Mann, secretary-treasurer. The club has met once a month for a supper or social evening, and the large attendance has proved the interest of the girls in the organization. In the spring a Players' Club was organized and elected Verle Albertson president: Onita Fancher, secretary: Mrs. Bess G. Bal- comb, treasurer: and Phil Whiting, stage manager. On May 17, at the Ebell Club House, the players presented an evening of plays, including A Helpless Couple, Cupid in Khaki, and The Flower Shop. They used the proceeds of the entertainment to make a sub- stantial gift to the Masque and Sandal Club, to help in the purchas- ing of plays and other necessary materials for next year's dramatic work.

Five commissioners elected yearly by the students, and two faculty representatives elected by the faculty con- stitute the executive body of the school. The commissioners for 1918-19 were Ruth Carruthers, War Work: Den Acres, finance: Jack Horner, arts: Chester Dolley, athletics: and Phil Tiernan, welfare. George Brown succeeded Jack Horner in February, and Tom Schilling and Robin Kenson took the places of Chet Dolley and Phil Tiernan in April. lVliss Lodwick and Mr. Reid represented the faculty. A slight change was made in the formation of this commission. The offices of literary commissioner and entertainment commissioner were combined in the art commissionership. The office of war work commissioner was created, and all the war work formerly carried on bv independent organizations was concentrated in one central com- mittee. We are proud of the unselfish effort and perseverance of our commission, and of the remarkable spirit of co-operation among the commissioners themselves, and between the commission and the stu- dent body. GIRLS' LEAGUE To uphold the ideals of true womanhood, to encourage the inter- change of all kindness and courtesies of life, and to formulate a clearer idea of civic duty and civic righteousness, is the high purpose of the Girls' League. In order to accomplish this purpose, the league was divided under mac., v ' .. xv 1 'Q THE COMMISSION Den Acres Thomas Schilling Ruth Carruthers George Brown Chester Dolley Philip Tiernan Jack Horner Robin Kenson Miss Lodwick Mr. Burcham Mr. Erwin Mr. Reid ORGANIZATIONS V 135 the direction of the president, Evelyn Francis, into eight separate sec- tions at the head of which were eight chairmen, each having a faculty advisor. War Work Department: Chairman, Ruth Williams: Faculty Ad- visor, Miss Richards. In cooperation with the war work commissioner, Ruth Car- ruthers, the war department of the league has aided in all of the Red Cross and salvage Work during the past year. In addition to this work, this section has carried on several separate War Work cam- paigns, the most important of which was the seed campaign in which seeds were collected for reconstruction work in France. Welfare Section: Chairman, Virginia Woodruff: Faculty Ad- visor, Miss Anderson. Beginning with a big Christmas drive, the Welfare section of the Girls' League packed twelve boxes of food stuffs and toys for poor' families in the city. Continuing this Work, a campaign was held later for old clothes, which went to needy families through the welfare store. The girls in this section made several sets of clothes for poor babies and brought joy to many of the shut-ins of Long Beach. The section throughout the year has not only aided those in need of help, but also has promoted sympathy, friendship, and help among the girls. ' ' Athletics: Chairman, Annetta Stevenson: Faculty Advisor, Miss Gee. The athletic section has promoted an interest among the girls in the various athletic activities of the school, and has been the factor' in the choosing of yell and song leaders for the girls. Cadets: Officer, Ruth Munger: Faculty Advisor, Miss Thomas. The girls of the Cadet Battalion have been used as color bearers in all girls' assemblies, and have helped to inspire a spirit of patriot' ism and democracy. A -I W.

Music: Chairman, Francis Covert: Faculty Advisor, Miss Ardis. Dramatics: Chairman, Irene Springerg Faculty Advisor, Mrs. Balcomb. - These sections have cooperated in making the girls' assemblies and parties of the year a distinct success. The members of the enter- tainment section have acted many times as hostesses of the school. Employment: Chairman, Henrietta Iosselyn: Faculty Advisors, Mrs. Gilbert, Miss Fletcher. ORGANIZATIONS 137 The chairman of this section has been instrumental in placing many girls in profitable positions. Art Sectiong Chairman, Mildred Bryant 3 Faculty Advisor, Miss Lewerenz. The making of signs, posters, campaign boxes, and booths has been some of the helpful work accomplished by the artistic groups of girls who compose the Art section. In order that the girls might have more freedom and privileges, the constitution was revised by the executive board, and adopted by the girls of the organization. The success of the girls' work this year would not have been possi- ble had it not been for the help and cooperation always so willingly given by Mrs. Gilbert, the dean of girls, and the two faculty repre- sentatives.' Miss Fergus and Miss Moore. JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The Junior Chamber of Commerce is to the school what the Chamber of Commerce is to the city. Its criterion is work. Near the close of the first semester it was organized, but ihardly more than that, for the constitution calls for a new election each semes- ter, and the first was nearly of the past. The following officers were elected: president, Rolland Thomas: vice-president, George Brown: secretary, John Hall: recording secretary, Roy Maggart: and treas- urer, Hal Ietton. The directors were the following: Rolland Thomas, George G. Brown, Bob McCallister, Grant Crow, John Hall, Lauren Farrow, Charles McDonald, Donald Howe, and Roy Maggart: juniors, Le Roy Baker, Leslie Cummins, Walton Eastland, Glen Willett, Paul Frey, Hal Ietton, and Archie Tower: sophomores, Harold McCallis- ter, Robert Meyers, and Merrill Armourg freshmen, George Craig and Ned Anderson: post graduate, Bradley Wyatt.

During, the second semester, accomplishment was the organiza- tion's reward of effort. The poster campaign for better citizenship, the financing of a theatre party and feed for the winning Liberty Bond team, and the jazzing candy sale day with the chocolate soldiers and candy kids were some of the chamber's work. The year closed with a big banquet.

The enforced vacations together with the restric- tions placed upon unnecessary gatherings have made the usual num- ber of social events impossible. Nevertheless, the membership of 240 has been the largest in the club's history. A vital interest has been kept up by making each girl feel that she has a part in the organiza- tion and, more than this, the girls have kept ever before them the pur- pose to which they are pledged and the great thought of service. MASQUE AND SANDAL The Masque and Sandal Club has been a remarkable success this year.

Lively experi- ments conducted by members of the club, and noteworthy speakers, have made the meetings a credit to the earnest efforts of the officers and the capable supervision of Mr. Just. In order that students may know something of the practical side of chemistry, a factory visitation committee of which Charles Beau- mont was chairman, formed investigating parties to study the appli- cation of chemistry in industry. The club has also had its annual hike to Mount Wilson and its wienie bake on the beach. Under the supervision of Donald Howe, chairman of the contest committee, sharks from the beginning chemistry classes are study- ing to make the team this year. The members of the team who won third place for Long Beach in the Southern California Chemistry Contest in Los Angeles last June were Albert Sheppard, Donald Howe, James Allen, James Newton, Neil Philip, Charles Beaumont and Ruth Purrier. .

Things were started, brought to an abrupt halt, and started again times innumerable. Because of these irregularitiesrthe usual school activities were deferred until the second semester. Not- withstanding the late start, organizations have flourished, and their success is due to the fact that the officers and members did not for a moment lose interest or enthusiasm. , BOOK EXCHANGE The Book Exchange is cn: department that always clears money for the Student Body.

Long Beach High School turned out the strongest prep football team in the state last fall. Our green and gold warriors went triumph- antly through the strangest season in school history, and were pre- vented from winning a championship only by a weird occurrence of unavoidable situations. After a ten-week enforced vacation, during which nary a foot- ball was seen in our back lot, the season opened with a rush. More than a hundred men signed the first week. Everybody was out for the team. Coach Capron was on hand with a few men from the sub base to help him. In two weeks a well-oiled, smooth-running, oppo- sition-crushing football machine was nearing completion. WHITTIER 0-LONG BEACH 52 The first game was played October 4, with Whittier high school on the foreign field. Here the real power of our team was shown by driving over a 52-O victory. The entire team breathed the old Kien- holz spirit. In the second half, a team of subs came in and kept the good work going. , Roy Baker, the best prep football man in the south, at full back, and halfback Phil Tiernan were the big men of the game. Dolley, quarter, and Lefebvre, left half, outplayed the average back. The entire line was on the job at offense and defense. The stars were the center, guards, tackles, and ends. The team had built up a reputa- tion in one game. I After all southern high schools had stepped into the dark, Les Cummins' resounding challenge called forth the college ranks. A game was scheduled with U. S. C. for Saturday, October 12. Friday :ATHLETICS 155 evening an influenza vacation went into effect, cancelling the game, and saving U. S. C. SANTA ANA 0-LONG BEACH 38 The annual Turkey Day tussle with Pasadena did not take place. The Crown City squad were in no condition for massacre. Santa Ana dared the invitation for a little four part affair on their own beet field to furnish amusement for the Thanksgiving crowd. Before the echoes of the starting whistle had died away, Dutch Miller sent the pig skin sailing far into red and white territory. The Orange County lads repeatedly failed to make their necessary ten yards, and were forced to play a defensive game throughout. Gur fleet backfield, with the aid of an impregnable line, scored six times. The country boys never had a chance. Play after play was ruined by the line before it had started. Hal Jetton and Dutch Miller were most conspicuous in setting Santa Ana back. Farrow and Willett at the guard positions played their steady, hard-hitting game. Eastland came into prominence by stepping all round his brother center. Every sub played up to the notch, mak- ing the Santa Anafellows know that real football men come from' Long Beach High School. WHITTIER STATE 6-LONG BEACH 12 The green and gold warriors passed all football bounds when the fast and famed Whittier State team were defeated by a 12-6 scoreil Before a crowd counted by thousands, in the best high-school foot- ball struggle ever fought in Southern California, Long Beach made her football name. - Captain Roy Baker and Phil Tiernan were the stars among stars. Chet Dolley piloted the team without a flaw over and around the dusky Whittier line. Henry Lefebvre played his best game and was in every play. Tackle, Dutch Miller, tore great holes through the strong state defense. Jetton played his steady game' at end, stop- ping every thing in a football suit. Evans, on the other wing, did his u i n 1-5 ,playf- 158 CAERULEA '19 bit 3 and Farrow and Willett did consistent work. Eastland went into the pivot position and more than held his man. Whitey's rangy structure plugged many a holeg Taylor well filled his tackle berth 3' and Jim Lawson playecl end in characteristic style. Baker scored both touchdowns. The first came by a ninety- five yard run from a fumble. Pretty interference by Lefebvre stopped the two ten-second men who were up and after Roy. ,The second came by straight, heartbreaking football backed by spirit. With three minutes to play and the score tied, against a team of college caliber, the green and gold started a march for the last chalk line and victory. It was a fight against a supreme team, and a fight against time-but it was a winning fight. Baker dragged the ball across with half the Whittier team upon him, and Long Beach had Won the greatest victory she has known. KEEL KLUB 0-LONG BEACH 20 To keep his flags in trim, Coach Capron brought about a clash with the Keel Klub eleven on New Year's morning. At the end of the fray the accounts read, K. K. 0-L. B. P. H. S. 20. Several college football stars in the Klub lineup failed to help much. The shipbuilders were piteously outplayed and badly ruffled throughout. The entire green team starred against a team of super- ior Weight. NAVAL RESERVE 21-LONG BEACH 7 Entering the reserve game outweighed fifteen pounds to the man, the most powerful, high school eleven in the south again 'wrote its name in flaming letters across the athletic sky when it held that team of husky men to a 21-7 count. Every high school had refused to give our boys a crack at their fragile organizations, and Long Beach was forced to search for games outside of high school circles. Roy Baker established a state-wide name for himself by play- ing the best game of his long football career. He repeatedly bucked the heavy gob defense for long gains. Phil Tiernan was easily I I 'a 160 CAERULEA '19 the fastest man on the field. Butch Farrow built up a reputation for himself as floating center. He helped stop every play. The only thing that caused our line to waver was the weight of the sailors. Despite the fact that the backfield showed up so well, we can- not overlook the husky line, for upon their holding and driving power, the backs depended for much yardage. No gridiron machine has ever gone through a more brilliant and yet more discouraging season than has the team of 1918-1919. In selecting an all-star high school football team, we merely suggest the undefeated but beaten Long Beach pigskin aggregation of 1919. THE TEAM Captain Leroy Baker-Classed with college men. The greatest football man of high school ranks in California. Old Reliable, Iron- sides, Battering Ram Baker never failed to come through with yard- age when any was needed. Baker's name will always be fresh in the memories of Long Beach High School students. Phil Tiernan-Hard-hitting, wide-sweeping right half. Showed his speed and ability in every game. Senior. Chet Dolley-In a class by himself at quarter. Heady. Strong line plunger and passer of ability. Senior. Henry Lefebvre-Husky, speedy, gritty left half. Fills his old position next fall. Lafay played a fine brand of football throughout. Hoggie Evans-Consistent, sure-tackling end. Showed his worth in the Whittier State game. Hoggie will wear the same togs next year. Butch Farrow-Fighting guard and speedy floating center. Hob- by-bouncing all opposers. Did you see the Naval Reserve game? Butch graduates. Hal Ietton-End. Stopped everything on the gridiron. Speed is his middle name. Another year for Jet. ATHLETICS 161 Glen Willett-Steady, heavy guard. Played many good games despite injuries. Watch jess next year. Pat Crow-Consistent, ground-gaining halfback. Starred in the Keel Klub game. Pat has worn his Poly suit for the last time. Whitey Eastland-Sensation of the season. Gritty and strong on defense. Whitey is going to graduate. Dutch Miller-Immovable on defense and unstoppable on offense at tackle. An All-Southern position for Dutch the next two years. jim Lawson-Wonderful end. Uncanny snagger of passes and steel wall defense. junior. ' Ray Price--Clever quarterback. Played good football. Sure tackler. Junior. Bob Miller-Following his brother's footsteps at tackle. Frosh. George Craig-Heavy, scrappy linesman. Sophomore. Ed Therieau-Steady, consistent center. Junior. Herb Rich-Enormous, smashing linesman. Next year's sen- sation. , I Melvin Taylor-Resourceful, line-smashing tackle. Back next year for more. Les Cummins-Full of pep and spiz. Manager of the squad. Forrest Smith-Assistant manager. Did all the disagreeable jobs about the lot. Hats off to Forrey. SECOND TEAM FOOTBALL Led by the able coach, Rolland Thomas, a second team was sent into the field, which made the weak title-contending elevens take their dust. The interscholastic football champions of Southern California refused to meet the local seconds. ' The first game was played October 8 with Inglewood's first squad on the suburban field. After the seconds had driven the green and white team all over the campus, the game was forfeited to Long Beach because of an argument between officials. The forfeit saved Ingle- wood from complete extermination. ATHLETTCS ' 163 -Y Y i V A -u-.za The second and last battle was staged on the local gridiron with the Santa Monica first squad. Long Beach held the winners of th: Bay League pennant to a 0-0 tie. Coach Thomas brought to light plenty of material upon which to build a strong first team next fall. Julian Hickman, full back, caytained the teamg and Curtis Richards was the able manager of the combination. The many men on the team lined up as follows!

Coaches Capron and Squire have been greatly hampered by by the lossgof three air-tight infielders. A number of shifts' in the lineup were necessary at the opening of the league. The local bat flingers have also had the breakssomewhat against thm. Bob 1VlcCallister was appointed manager, and catcher Jim Law- son was unanimously elected to pilot the club through the season. The season opened early in March with several practice games with San Pedro High. In these clashes Coach Capron made numer- ous changes in the lineup, but never failed to come out with the long end of the score. Then on April second the green and gold ball tossers met the Cubs right from Chicago and swallowed a bitter pill. 9-0 read- the score. at the close of the nine innings. Eleven errors on the part of several ilocal players were responsible for six runs, leaving the big leaguers but three earned tallies. Andrews showed class at short. Buckley slung nine innings of clever ball for the local talent. Tier- nan and Raymond each sent one of Speed lVlartin's strong onions for a two-base ride. Cy Tipton slunk away into the gloom for San Diego Friday, April 4, after taking a 5-0 hammering at the hands of Jim Lawson's sluggers. Ludie Britsch pitched a sweet nine round affair for the Capron kids, striking out seven Gray Castle veterans. Fulton was robbed of a home run by the center field fence. Doyle and Lefebvre X-TH-LETICS 165 crossed the rubber for the first counters on Fulton's drive. Raymond was most of the team at first base. He made several miraculous stops at the initial cushion. Lawson caught a neat game throughout. Then came a defeat, a 6-1 bouncing by the husky San- Pedro Submarine Base. The game was a ragged, seven inning comedy affair which was hardly recognizable as an exhibition of the national sport. The Long Beach club received their annual defeat in the San Diego stadium, a 16-8 dubbing at the hands of Tip's savages. Errors and flukes were greatly to blame for the disastrous downfall. Long Beach has never yet won a game in the Border City stadium. Los Angeles Polytechnic fell before the local onslaught in the first round of the City-County go, on the afternoon of April 22. Bill Raymond is mostly responsible for the green and gold victory. Time after time Bill made impossible stops at first, saving the cheese every time. Britsch pitched a consistent game. Lawson held him well. Raymond also nicked the blue and gold hurler for a two bagger. A double steal by Lefebvre and Doyle scored the first counter of the battle. . The following Friday, Lawson's team struck a hard bump when Sid Foster's Manual outfit showed them a 6-0 trouncing. Little can be said of the style of ball that was played. With Long Beach playing baseball, the Manualites would never have had a chance. We hate to say much about the sloppy L. A. High mixup. We don't hold anything against L. A. In fact, the fellows from the city were good sportsmen. They won 5-2, but the real decision is un- known at the time of going to press. Several shifts were made, Lefebvre going to short stop and Fulton into the box. Iohnson's Hollywood team was the fourth to be manhandled. The score was 7-9 with Long Beach on the heavy end. Long drives and plenty of errors and stolen bases featured the game. Fulton hurled a baffling brand of ball. Doyle and Lefebvre did the scoring. 5 Y .

Britsch, on the mound for the locals, struck out thirteen. A double by Fulton scored Doyle and Raymond in the first. Long Beach handed the Pasadena bunch a nice 7-6 icer inthe wildest and most sensational game seen on the back lot in many moons. DoyIe's home run, Lefebvre's timely three-base smack, and in the last half of the ninth inning, Lawson's sacrifice scoring Cummins and the winning run, were mainly responsible for the L. B. victory. Britsch pitched wonderful ball. Crude support at times robbed him of a run- less game. A All-Southern places should be Waiting for Raymond, Lawson, Lefebvre, Fulton, and Doyle. s mg ,i if L 3 05 J A f '6 f -V v. :'ffP . ,,,,.C-., X T,'1,?,,QTfZ:v ., 'H-0,1 -. Vg. f vi. gmt.

J, ., 1 The track team of the 1919 season was a typical Long Beach output, a well balanced team of consistent point winners, able to cap- ture almost any dual or triangular meet., Devoid of sensational state record men, the squad failed to star in the big meets, but produced better results than 'a non-backing student body had the right to expect. Hal Jetton managed the team and Mr. Reub, Long Beach super- visor of physical training, took upon himself the coaching work. He was always on the job. In a quadrangular meet at Santa Ana, March 29, the green and gold spike artists collected fifty-four points, against Pasadena's thirty- one and Santa Ana's and Fullerton's twenty-six digits each. The locals took seven first places with ease. Roy Baker was high man, pulling down eleven markers. Jim Lawson came second with eight. Harrold, Farrow, Ietton, and Fulton each grabbed a first. Tiernan, Martin, Weilenman, and Pemberton showed up well. On April 5, the new L. A. High field was the scene of the annual City-County Track and Field Meet. Long Beach returned with twelve points. Vernon Mitchell surprised all by clearing the bar at five feet nine inches, for first place in the high jump. Tiernan ran a pretty race for second place in the high hurdles. The other Poly men who placed were Martin, fourth-low hurdles: Fulton, fourth-pole vault: and Baker, fourth-broad jump. An injured heel was all that kept Roy from reaching his usual mark for first. When it came to the Southern California Meet, Old Man Luck handed us a persimmon. The machine carrying the beach entrants was wrecked, and the men failed to arrive in time to compete.

Ietton, Baker, Evans, Martin, Mitchell, Fulton, and Weilenman all stepped into the calcium by annexing first places. B . In conclusion-track could have been more successful.

The only question in our minds is the size of the score. ' The hardest part of all was not the winning of the games, but the scheduling of games. At first no school could be enticed to meet the local talent. Then, through the efforts of -1Vlr. Jones, faculty represen- tative, and Manager Coleman, the aforementioned L. A. Polytechnic squad was brought down and sent back beaten 6-0. The next swarm of ducks to take the high-school count was the Keel Klubbers, when they emerged at the gloomy end of a 7-4 tally. The shipbuilders' Web-footed squad was composed of old L. B. P. H. S. Water dogs. It was simply a matter of Youth is supreme. Hollywood High Was next to fall before the green and gold seals in a double polo and swimming carnival. Huntington Park furnished the first league victory for L. B. In two short halves a 16-0 count was checked up by Schilling's fleet. Friday evening, June 16, the famed Manual Arts water lizards tasted salt water and felt the sting of a 12-0 beating. It seems to us, the fans. a mere trifle to see our fleet trounce the best aquatic teams- that California can offer. The team-Dutch Miller, Fred Richards, Tom Schilling, Frank Stark, Bob Miller, Julian Hickman, Pete Coleman and H. Evans. vtivf -I?

Both the glee clubs, as well as the chorus, composed of more than two hundred students, are unusually large. They have sung at various times for assemblies, and at the graduation exercises, and have done finished work in the staging of Chimes of Normandy, an opera which rivaled the Mikado of '17 in popularity. Such work could not have been accomplished in this exceptional year had it not been for the inspirational leadership of Miss Ethel Ardis, direc- tor of the opera, and head of the music department. The work has also been greatly aided by Madeline Lupher Gardiner and Charlotte Gooding, who accompanied the glee clubs during the year. Under Mr. Moore, now for five years their director, the band and orchestra have been, in Mr. Moore's estimation, the best Long Beach has ever produced. The trombone quartet is only one ex- ample of the individual talent present. Besides working in the opera, the orchestra has appeared in many entertainments other than those ofthe school, and has played for assemblies, for the senior play, and to aid patriotic drives. Irene Springer has managed the orchestra, and Dave Hutton the band. The Chimes of Normandy, a light opera by Robert Plan- quette, was produced by the glee clubs in May, and scored the suc- cess of the year. Dorothy Howard as Germaine and Virginia Neff as Serpolette, both won enthusiastic recognition. Charles james as the Marquis of Corneville, George Martin as Jean Grenisheux, Reginald Inwood as Gaspard, and Lauren Farrow as the Bailli deserved well their large share of applause. Neal Hinton as Jeanne, Leone Heaton as Ger- trude, Anne Huntoon as Mannette, and Kathryn Faust as Suzanne, in the roles of the village maidens, as Well as every other member of the cast and chorus, are to be congratulated. A The opera was staged under the direction of Miss Ardis, director of music, Mr. Blanks, director of dramatics, Miss Gee, director of staging, Miss Burdick, director of scenery, Miss Steele, director of costuming, Phil Whiting, stage manager, and Lloyd English, busi- ness manager. , 4 , 1----------l-Illl---I----lllli----I-lllllllIllI X if XT wx ,F A SCRAP OF PAPER The only play of the year was pre- , 2 c m 0' sented by the senior class when Victor Sardou's comedy, A Scrap of Paper, was presented to large and delighted audiences on the evenings of- May 1 and 2. The theme was one of complication and humor against a back- ground of the picturesque France of 1760. John Oliver, comedian extraordinary, as Brismouche, and Ray- mond Stannard as Anatole, Brismouche's boyish young ward, merited the most applause, which they received. Roy Maggart was Prosper Couramont, the handsome and dash- ing, though eccentric, hero. Virginia Woodruff and Frances Fellows, the co-heroines, were exactly what heroines should be, pretty, vivacious, and captivating. The character interpretation was cleverly executed by Margaret Morrill as the ancient and prim old maid, Evelyn Francis as the ba- roness, Louise de la Glaciere, dignified but emotional, and Heber Chapman as the baron, stately, aloof,and solemn. The less prominent roles were ably taken by Ruth Slocum, Keitha Wyatt, Betsy Shelton, Donald Howe,and Kenneth Webb. Miss Abbie Pendroy. a Long Beach alumnus of the 1916 class, coached the play in a manner that assured success. f ,,, Wi ,-H ,f ' liwiflri U dltifi A 4 dz ,,., 21355. .ff -2 N 'Q 44 f 'Q wth: qv 5, the HUNT WELFARE SKIT The first skit of the season, written by Virginia Woodruff aided by Vallie Reitz was presented for the Welfare Section of the Girls' League as a plea for the'Welfare Drive for old clothes to be sent to the Long Beach Welfare Store. x DRAMATICS T5 v HVIVACIOUS VAUDEVILLEN - One of the best assemblies of the year, a vaudeville performance filled with thrills and originality, was given for the purpose of boost- ing the 1919 Caerulea. The assembly was opened by George Brown and Eugene Wither, who drew the five lucky numbers which entitled each of the holders to a 1919 Caerulea. Four Happy Harmonistsf' Doc Smith, Lorne Middough, Albert Hoffman, and Dr. Blount gave several lively vocal numbers. -Mr. Oliver, in ':Revolutionized Evolu- tion, made his first appearance as a chalk talk artist. But the thrill of the assembly came from the antics of Lockwood Forsyth who, assisted by members of the band, disported himself up stage and down in the character of a dishonest plumber. THE MAKER OF DREAMS The Maker of Dreams, a short but very beautiful little play, was presented as one of the features of the junior class party. It por- trayed life and love in a circus troupe, and was artistically staged by Onita Fancher, Kathryn Faust, and Helen Loos, members of the Masque and Sandal Club. A THE STAGE CREW Behind the scenes are the fellows who labor, the men who do the hard work that makes plays, assemblies, and operas go over. Their effort is too little appreciated by those who don't realize what it means to be on the stage crew. Al Rogers was stage manager until it became necessary to get Phil Whiting '16 who could spend his entire time and professional ability in the production of The Chimes of Normandy and UA Scrap of Paper. The many scene shifters who have worked on the stage are Al Rogers, Phil Whiting, Fred Richards, Russell Waters, Dick Loynes, George Hall, John Oliver, Bill Short, Jack Horner, Justus Drake, Franklin Hansen, and Archie Tower. 1 e, -P TE bfQiE7fGQX 'V 4 5325 ...,,A, ., c y ., . ww Z-' .. A his Long Beach took part in four debates this year, two of which formed a dual meet with Bakersfield. The other two were regular league debates with San Diego and Los Angeles high schools respec- tively. The old system of giving the debates in the evening was aban- doned and in its place the idea of giving them in assembly was success- fully worked out. As a result, all of the year's debates, with the ex- ception of the one at Bakersfield, have taken place in the afternoon. The first debate was with Bakersfield at Long Beach, Feb. 27, 1919, upon the question, Resolved: That federal control of the rail- roads should be continued for the next five years. Bakersfield up- held the affirmative, while John lVlcQuilkin and George Brown de- bated the negative for Long Beach. Bakersfield won the decision. Upon the following day, February 28, Miss Josephine Henry and Alonzo Davis debated the affirmative of the same question with Bakersfield at the northern city. Bakersfield argued the negative of the question and won again. On March 7, San Diego met Long Beach at Long Beach, upon the question, Resolved: That the United States government should return the railroads to their private owners not later than twenty-one months after the conclusion of peace. Miss Henry and Alonzo Davis again took the affirmative for Long Beach, but lost to the negative, San Diego. The last debate was with L. A. High School at Los Angeles April 25, and again Long Beach lost. John 1VlcQuilkin and George Brown were the Long Beach debaters, arguing the negative of the question, Resolved: That the great powers at war with the German allies should establish a quasi-protectorate over Russia.

Blanks, dramatics teacher, and it is through no fault of his or of the individual team members that Long Beach failed to win a victory. Lack of material from which to build his teams hampered Mr. Blanks' work greatly and threw all the work on the shoulders of four people, lVIiss Josephine Henry, Alonzo Davis, John lVIcQuilkin, and George Brown. From the standpoint of decisions the year has been a failure: but there is another point of view. Each debate has been of inestimable value to the people who took an active part in the work. The school as a whole has shown itself able to stand up unflinchingly under four straight defeats, Which, in itself, is no small accomplishment. I DON'T PITY ANY IVIAN WHO DOES HARD WORK WORTH DOING.

J, It is Wonderful to get back to the Ways of peace again and live once more. The greatest victory civilization has conceived has been achieved: and men of Long Beach High School-our boys-have sacrificed and have been sacrificed to achieve it. This is a Victory Caerulea. Its aspiration is to aid in perpetuating the glory of our fellows, of whom we are infinitely proud. Caerulea could be dedi- cated to no one but them--our Crusaders. SACRIFICE There were blue stars on our service banner which have turned to gold. They represent the heroes who paid for triumph with their lives. Some did not have the fortune to fall in glorious action on fields of Flanders or in the Argonne. But their giving is just as big. It will never be forgotten. THE USUAL THING It seems customary to inscribe an extolment of the virtues, and an apology for the shortcomings of the annual. Rather than trample tradition- It was not decided that there was to be a 1919 Caerulea until the days of December Were almost past. Then the school year Was shot to pieces-and so on. V The aim and hope ol the stall has been to produce the sort oi annual you want-notwithstanding. We hope you have it. Look it over and remember that it could have been worse, even if you don't see how. EDITORIAL ' -' -187 SUPPORT Support is essential in establishing true success. When students and faculty support all school activities as they support athletics, and support athletics as they should, then Long Beach Poly will stand an even stronger school, and the Green and Gold Will mean even more. ' CAERULEA The destiny of Caerulea is to keep for you the memories, the records, the history of school days. The more autograph pages you have filled, the greater value Caerulea will hold for you years from now, and years from now your Caerulea will be far more than priceless. EDUCATION Sixteen credits do not constitute an education. You have not gotten the most out of school until you have done something for the school, You owe it to the school and to yourself. When you work for the green and gold, you appreciate what the green and gold means. The school needs material, There is all too little competition for student-body jobs. What can you do?

Lynn's printing classes, the Girls' League, the students who help- ed with the folding, and Mr. ErWin's advertising class have made a successful Caerulea possible. 2 c fb 1 : J 'f 'lf' ki? High Life has stepped from among the best high school papers in California to the position as best high school paper in the state. It has always worked for the school, and has established a reputation for Long Beach High School wherever it reaches. The merit of the paper is due to co-operation. Every one of the staff has worked unselfishly and untiringly. No better editor-in- chief than Al Rogers could be found. His editorial policy and his editorials are of the best. Miss Watts, instructor of journalism, has spent every moment of her time in building High Life. Three sport editors, Ted Hensen, Chet Dolley, and John Hall have written real sport news. The High Life sport section is almost professional in its material and make-up. The management under James Roberts has cleared more money for the student body than ever before. Bill Corey has well taken care of the huge distribution and circulation. Roy Maggart and Loyd Lavender have built up an advertising system of service and merit. At the beginning of the year, George Brown was managing editor, and Wardner Wells associate editor. George left, however, via point system and Wardner was lost by mid-year graduation. 4 Last but far from least, Mr. Lynn of the print shop has done the hard work, willingly toiling until all hours of the night for High Life. Three for Mr. Lynn. Wardner Wells James Roberts Albert Rogers George Brown Roy Maggart William Corey Ted Hensen John Hall Mr. Lynn Loyd Lavender Chester Dolley .M 1:57 , Sf .09 5 A f .
