I wonder what she is thinking As she shines so calmly there. Gazing down at the ocean, Her face so wonderfully fair. Can it be the ocean's her mirror, Rippling with silver bright But what has she seen that she. hideth Behind that cloud, her light?

I had not asked any one about cutting my hair and now that I that of it. I was sure Mother . would be angry that I had lost my curls, while. DacI--well, Dad- I was sure, would disapprove of a daughter of his appearing with so short a crop of hair and so frivolous an appearance. Why had I not thot of all these arguments before I allowed Lu- cile to persuade me to let her exhibit her :1ti talent as she called it? a had that that an amusing way to express it then and had giggled over it, but left alone in the car with Mother getting nearer every instant I thot sarcastically, It wasn't her hair she was demon- strating 0111'? Watts! yelled the conductor. I jumped and then settled back in my seat once more to have the battle out in my mind. Compton! was the next shock I received. As the. car rattled along American Avenue I felt that I should Scream, sitting there quietly listening to the maddening conductor call out the streets, Twenty-secondhEightcenth-Sixtcenth-Ana- heimI'mand so on down the list. It seemed miles between Willow- ville and Third Street, and then more miles before, at last, I climbed off the car at Redondo Avenue. Nineteen Twenty Dad saw me coming and strolled down to meet me. I nervously pulled my hat down over my hair and tried to smile naturally. Did you have a good time cfear? You look rather tired, but then, of course, Since the strike the trip is slow and tedious, he remarked as he fell into step with me. Pm all right, I answered none too graciously. Well! Mother! How do you like it? I shouted wildly as I opened the door and threw my hat in the corner. I wanted to get the agony over as soon as possible. Ilike what? asked Mother looking at ma in a startled manner. Why, my hair, of coursel I replied sharply, feeling that it must be the first thing that anyone would notice about me. Oh, your hair, answered Mother calmly. What did you startle me so for? It looks real pretty. Did Lucile comb it a new way for you? Comb til! I yelled making it all stand on end. Comb it!! It's CUT! Cut-wt! Your hair cut? Cut! Yes, CUTIE G-UyT-Fcutlwcut off! gone? I fairly screamed. It's sheared! Now do you like it? Mother collapsed in a chair while Dad tore about asking what he was going to do without his Babyk beautiful curls. IHe al- l 4 CAERULEA '20 ways would call me Baby even now that I, in my opinion. am fully grownJ The iamily at last quit talking about my latest stuntIi when I was around, but several times during the next few weeks I heard Mother mention it, and once I over-heard her saying to Dad, I really do think it becoming, but she looks so frivolous and-and sort of silly. The ladies oi the club at our last meeting were discussing the silly appearance of most girls who have cut their hair. At school, when the girls had recovered from the surprise, I found that altho most of them told me that I looked well with my hair cut, I heard some oi them several times mention that they that bobbed hair made girls look so silly- Especially if theyr are seniors and have to go to college that way? remarked one young lady, tas she saw me-a senior-passJ The mention of college brot to me the memory of a conversation held a few weeks previous, in which Mother and Dad agreed that they could not afford to send me to Stanford-the land of dreams. My mind was soon recalled, however, from the broad campus of Stanford timaginecD to the iihroad application of Emerson's iCom- pensation' tvery reaD. One day a few weeks after this incident I returned home irom school to find Mother in a great flutter of excitement. She met me at the door ilourishing a letter before my astonished eyes and talking as fast as her practiced tongue would allow. I managed to gather from the flood of words with which my mind was swamped that my wealthy Aunt Emma was to arrive on the seven-Iifteen train to make us a visit. iiAnd, Kitty! Kitty! Mother rushed on, she says she is coming to see you and that if you are sensible she will send you to Stanford. You know, your aunt is a lecturer on Women's Problems of To- day or something like that. I donit understand it exactly. but she is a very practical and sensible woman and you must not appear fool- ish Iike so many girls that we know. Here Mother paused a mo- LITERARY 5 4- ment for breath, leaving me overcome with awe of the strange being that was to invade our peaceful home; and then she rushed on. And, Katherine, what are we to do with your hair? Ilm afraid if she. finds you following that silly style she will be disgusted and give her money to some one elseeand then there is your college education gone! Oh! this awful hair, I cried as I ran my hand wildly thru the stubble that remained on my head. Why did I do it? Oh, Mother, if I Can't go to Stanford I'll die! fust die! I cried as my dream faded for the second time. Hush! Hushl Come in here and let's see if we can't do some thing with the stuff, Mother soothed. For an hour we worked, trying to twist up the stubbly ends- striving to fasten on a little wad of my former hair Jthieh effort al- ways ended by the wad's falling off on the floor and by distributing hair neatly over Mother's dark dressywr even trying to tie a ribbon about my head, thus hiding the offending hair. At last I gave it up, but not until Mother had thoroly squelched my last suggestion, that I wear a wig, by declaring. No daughter of mine shall ever be seen with hair that is not her own. Dad leit at seven with the machine in which to bring the de- cider of my fate as I put it. Mother and I, who had remained at home ostensibly to add the last finishing touches to the supper that we had delayed because of our visitor, spent those precious minutes in smoothing my hair and striving desperately to make me appear sensible. We could not decide which would be best-to have it smooth and close to my head tsensible, but, alas! horribly unbecom- ingy or fluffy and blowing about. It looks silly any way you do it, Katherine. What on earth did you cut it for P cried Mother desperately. I give it up 1 Just then we heard the car stop and Dads voice saying cheerily, Welcome home, Emma. May you enjoy your visit as much as we shall! l 6 CAERULEA 20 We! Wei I thought resentfully. Why doesn't he speak for himself? I think she might have. sent her old money without com- ing out here bothering us all to death. Mother and I heard their footsteps on the porch. Mother smoothed down a stray lock of my hair, and gave a tug at my plain blue serge dress. The door creaked. Mother gave my hair another little pull. The door opened. Mother ran her fingers vigorously thru my long-suffering hair, making it stand out Uather wildly I fearecD. Aunt Emma entered and I gasped as I saw her and imagined my dreamed-of gay years at Stanford slipping away. Her hair 0h: first thing I noticody was drawn straight back and was crowned by a severely plain beaver hat. Her shoes were squarehtocd and flat- heeled. Her dress was perfectly straight and untrimmed. How do you do, my clears P 5112 said brightly, and is this my little Katherine? Well, well! I knew right from the start that you are. an unusual girl, she continuzd calmly. And that hairll Yes, that hair! I thought. THAT hint Will finish all my hopesl .

Stanford. You shall go there. Such a nice sensible girl as you are-I could tell the iirst instant I saw you, my dear. Beauty sacrtliced for comfort and case! And that is remarkable in one so young.

LWWWWWWWWW William Corey Even today, on the great Antelope plains, some of the glamour and romance of old, some of that swagger and daring still clings to the drivers of the desert and mountain stages, especially to the mail- stage driver, for thru him, connection with the outside is kept. On the desert, the arrival of the maiI-stage is THE event. The driver of the maiI-stage on the Bakersiield-Lost Hills run was the only living thing that had ever touched Little Yellow Dog kindly, and because of that the cur worshipped him as greatly as a small dog could. With so little animation that he disregarded the countless swarm- ing flies, Little Yellow Dog lay in the shadqw' in front of old CapWs saloon, watching out over mile after mile of sage- -brush and sand for the daily mailestage from outside . He was small and gracefully slender, of a light tan color, with pointed ears and nose much like that 01 a iox. His eyes were small and bright. Save for the buzz of flies, a dead silence enclosed the desert. All about and among the scattered shacks of Lost Hills the mid- day heatedevils danced crazily. The scorching rays of the sun Were reflected by the alkali and sheet iron in a blinding glare. A11 life was held in a coma, and the air was saturated with the spicy tang 0f the sage-hrush. A whistle blew at a faraoff oiI-camp as Link: Yellow Dog sighted. Nineteen Twenty on the eastern horizon, a low and glisten- ing dust cloud. He arose and directed his pointed little ears and nose toward it. It was the mail-stage, still a score of miles BWaY. but coming with a smooth roar of its twin six cylinders and a bright reflec- tion from its shining sides. The Post-master of Lost Hills was a fat and lazy desert rat . Wrapped in ice creams and a dirty silk shirt, with a frayed slouch Panama hat over his ruddy, dripping face, he came out of the Post- olfice shack, perspiring and sweating at the heat, and watched the approaching dust-cloud. On time all til, he muttered. Why can't that fool driver on the mountain run get in on time? He mapped his dripping forehead and face with a bandana. The stage neared. Its roar could now be heard. Little Yellow Dog loped out to meet itea low, slinking lope, for his mother had been a swift-fox, that wary, seldom-seen phantom of the western plains. He glanced back over his shoulder at the sleeping dogs of the townsite. His mouth was opened wide because of the heat and also because he was smiling. The few hours that the stage was in Were, for him, joyful, generous, and kindly hours, spent with the Mm . Cool water l3 rarityL a iuicy steak-bone, or a piece of bread were the wonderful things he received. but best of all, protection from the dirty gaunt pack of beggar dogs, who despised him because of his wild blood so plainly shown in his very appearance. 10 CAERULEA '20 A hundred yards away, the driver of the maiI-stage shut off the roaring motor and, with a final coast, pulled up in front of the Lost Hills Post Ofiice. With an exchange oi, How vuh comin'? and. Fine 'n' cIancin two mail sacks were thrown out onto the boards. The driver climbed out and caught up eager, dancing Little Yellow Dog, and, smooth ing the slightly curly yellow coat, talked to him in kind tones. The little dog squirmed and writhed in pleasure and joy and reached out a pointed little snout and red tongue to lick the gray dust from the bronzed features of the man. Proudly he sat beside the driver as they delivered a freezer of what was once iee-cream to the shop at the end of the dusty main street. The man then proceeded to 01' Cap's Bar to drink a cool- ing drink; and then would Little Yellow Dog play and leap and ioyously bark little sharp, high-pitched swift barks while the envi- ous mangy pack of curs looked on. Many happy, sun-filled days were passed in this way. Many times the stage rolled ineand rolIeeI away, in a cloud of dust, iust as the sun dropped behind the iar-off gold and purple hills. Then would Little Yellow Dog slink out unto the silent desert, his home, and wait for the old moon to rise out of the High Sierras ancI flood the plains with a soft, clear light. His weird, Ioneiy cry then quavered upon the still, clear, desert air. II The inevitable came. One day the mail-stage failed to arrive. nor did it come on the next. A week passed slowly, and still no maiI-stage rolled in from outside. Nothing of railroad strikes anti tie-ups did Yellow Dog know. Each day he watched the ribbon of road that stretched away to the east, and grew lean. chased and hunted by the merciless pack. Connection with the world was stopped. The men of the town and nearby oiI-camps waited and swore. The stage and driver ran on 1 more profitable run to the great cities. LITERARY l I With drooping head and tail, Little Yellow Dog took to the out- skirts of the camp, haunting the oii-camps. foraging for bits of food. BY day he slept in some deserted den or in the shade of the sage- brush. By night he prowleci around the camps and hunted the few small animals that exist on that baked valley floor. One soft night, answering the call of his wild blood. he turned his sharp nose toward the bare. lifeless Western hills. Far oii from the black, gaunt forest of tall oil-derricks was a lonely, deserted Wildcaf' well. Little Yellow Dog's course passed it. As he neared the silent, skeleton-iike derrick, he noticed a small, glowing fire, around which three men sprawled at rest. Four horses, ready saddled. were quietiy standing by the foot of the derrick. Perhaps the men might leave scraps about, he that: so he laid his pointed nose between his fore-paws and watched and waited in the shadows. 0:: the same night, across the Coast Range at the coast station. the driver was filling his gas tanks. loading in the mail bags and making ready for his first trip over a dangerous and lonely moun- tain and desert road. When the valley railroads were again running, the driver had been assigned a new run, the long, tiresome, night-mn , from the Coast to Bakersfield with the registered mail, which passed thru Lost Hills. III Keen hearing, inherited from ancestors of the desert, enabled Little Yellow Dog to hear the faint roar of a iar-off motor long before one of the men by the oiI-derriek heard it and stepped out into the highway close by. Little Yellow Dog crept out to the road. For long, listless days he had watched and waited for a roaring black car to come in over the desert. Now one came. The glare of its headlights increased as it neared. When about a hundred yards down the road from. the sentinel 12 CAERULEA '20 derrick the caris motor suddenly stopped: the stage careened toward the side of the road and came to a standstill, its headlights still burning. The lights winked. Curious, thought Little Yellow Dog, and proceeded to in- vestigate: but, when nearing the ear, he was startled by a sudden movement and hid near the road. He saw a mail bag thrown out of the car on to the road and a figure in black climb out of the rear seat. Three horsemen came riding up from the ciirection of the derrick, one 01 them leading a saddled horse. The figure in black handed up the mail bag to one of the riders and swung into the empty saddle of the fourth horse-and away with the others, across the desert. under a velvet, star-studded sky. Even then, Little Yellow Dog was wary in approaching the silent car. Suddenly his small nose recognized a familiar scent, that of his Man's own person. He ieapt to the front seat and whined and sniffed frantically in great joy at seeing his master again. But, after several minutes of joyful play, he realized that something was wrong; the Man was still and unresponsive. He licked the warm blood from the unconscious man's face and curled up against him, not understanding. As a great desert moon shot up, the Man stirred slightly. The at- tentive little dog again grew frantic. But it was hours before the Man reached slowly for the water bag and drank long of the luke- warm water in it. Seeming somewhat revived by this, but greatly dazed, he petted the dog, and slowly, clumsily, climbed out of the car. With the water bag over his shoulder and Little Yellow Dog at his feet, he started on a dazed plodding stumble down the road towards Lost Hills, eight hot anti long miles away, Little Yellow Dog, barking sharp little barks, tugged at his puttee straps continually until finally he pulled the Man oif the road and onto the trackless, crisp and merciless desert. LITERARY 13 Slowly the Man came to realize in a dull way, that he was off the road and ignorant of directions. Feebiy kicking at the dog, he swore the cut was to blame-he was! Time after time the man fell, just slipped down easily, and each time he was slower in rising to his feet. Now and then Little Yellow Dog guided his stumbling steps at will, by merely pulling at his straps. After four hours of silent, painful progress, they came at last tn the shallow oil-sumps of the Lost Hills Fields. The Man's eyes were tight shut: the water bag Was gone. Dawn had not yet come. The dust rose in clouds and choked and blinded them. Many times the crawling pair came near to the fate of the pre- historic animals of the La Brea oil-pits-a slow, horrible, miring in the thick black oil; but the dog pulled the man aside and on-- always eastward. Finally, after ialling. the Man failed to rise after a long perioci of stillness. Little Yellow Dog barked and started away in vain time after time. A pumper, with his oil can and flashlight in hand, was making his lonely rounds from derrick to derrick on the Vulcan lease when he was suddenly startied and somewhat scared by the approach of a small, coyote-like animal. which barked in a high pitched appeal- ing tone without apparent fear, leping away repeatedly in a certain direction. Obeying an impulse, the pamper followed and found the Man , unconscious, in the first gray light of the new day. The gray old field-doetor stated that the Man , with three fractures in his skull. could never have made the eleven miles to the town-site alive but in cutting across the desert to the closer oii- camp he had saved his lifeebut we know who guided him. Littie Yellow Dog now rides on the running boarci of the Lost Hills mail-stage and the Driver lays a kind hand on the little yellow head now and then as the stage roars along the dusty desert road.

Inside the sewing room that was serv- ing as a temporary study hall. not a sound could be heard except the occasional rustle of paper. High Life was out, and a dozen heads Were bent over the tables, while a down pairs of eyes eageriy scanned the account of the latest pigskin victory or gave a glance at the cen- tury-old jokes. I, for one, was following the hero of the game as he bravely fought through the enemyIs line and dashed down the field unhindered. Suddenly I was conscious oi the fact that the study hall teacher was gliding first to one person and then to another, giving each a penny lecture ior readipg our peppy paper when our lessons needed our attention. I could hear her say, Are you such a brilliant student that you can afford to waste your time? Reluctantly, I left my hero just as he was ready to leap over the line and score the final touch-down. Quickly and silently, I folded that precious sheet of paper and tucked it beneath my books. Just as the teacher reached my side, I managed to get my geom- etry book open, and began to study carefully a proposition which I had never seen before nor was expected to see for a whole semester. I knew that my attitude was one of deep study, and I was men- . taliy patting myself on the back for having escaped a bawling' out. Imagine my chagrin when I felt the teacher's hand on my shoulder and heard her declare. At last, I have found a girl who does not Shirk her fob. And she is a girl who can always be counted on to have her lessons, too. Do you suppose she would waste her time reading High Life when she knew there was work to be done? No, never! Miserably ashamed of myself anti yet too weak to confess my guiit, I lowered my head. If only I haci kept on reading my High Life!

It was not long before her quest Of romance and adventure Was ended in a way at best Harsh critics can not censure. 18 CAERULEA '20 For as she strolled her way along She met a handsome sailor. He edged beside her in the throng: She felt her heart wouid fail her. And as he gaily strode beside, They broke in conversation. He knew not what her mask did hide! hOhl Bitter revelationb She glanced up at his handsome. face hFor just his eyes were coverecD And as they ran from place to place , Close by his side she hovered.

That's What theft: there for, you know. Leslie Cummins Speaking broadly, there is only about one thing to mar the joy of high school days; that thing is the faculty. It is the one wet blanket on an otherwise glorious life. It's like getting a pink slip when the hunch is out in front waiting to take you to Washington Park to see the ball game. In short, the teachers are to the students, what the First of July was to the members of the royal order of indulgers. I'm not saying there is nothing good about the teachers; in dividually they are almost human at times. That is all but Alexan- der Griggs. I don't suppose you remember him. He looked like the last petal on the last rose of summer, and he had a disposition that would have made a bottle of diluted Bevo look like a real drink. A canary with a broken wing was a bold and ferocious bird. beside him. He knew more history than the person who wrote it, and he could tell you, without a tremor, how Nero once bathed in Roman blood, but rather than to take off his coat where the students could have seen him, he would have iumpecl into the Los Angeles river. Griggs would have made Lord Chesterfield look like Peck's Bad Boy: he was so correct and modest. That was the kind of a knock-iem-dead and drag-'em-out specimen Alex. was. Well, to come back from behind the Store and get down to business, Griggs had one supreme hobby. He believed thoroughly that students should indulge in athletics. but that they should do so with their fingers crossed. It Was the right iciea to play games, but Nineteen Twenty a crime to win them. According to Griggs, a genuine fourteen cart sports- man was the fellow who would start in a race and come in a block or two behind carrying the other fellowts hat and coat. Our particular: style of giving the ball to the fulI-back and then shoving him And the pigskin thru the entire opposition, nearly caused this motherly old soot to do the Shimmie from nervous prostration. It made him shudder when we defeated every school in the IeagUEe overwhelming Whittier 69 to O, and getting in great shape for the game with Pasadena. That of course was our big game of the year. and when November wore away, we began to watch our team practice everyr afternoon after school, and then we would dream about them all night. Then when we were sure that Pasadena would come to grief, presto, and the sun went out of our lives. Alexander Griggs had played his trump card, and he had played it well. It wasntt exactly a blow to the team; it was more like the ex- plosion oi a Big Bertha . It was during the football assembly, the day before Thanksgiving, that Griggs begged leave to make a few remarks, and then what did he do but paralyze eighteen hundred students and a whole team of gridiron gladiators. With the following words: ttAs chairman of the committee that passes upon the eligibility 0f your football players, I have decided that the entire team is in- eligible. The reasons may not suit you but they suit me. Young 22 CAERULEA '20 friends, accept defeat tomorrow, and try to appreciate its vast bene- fits. That is all.n The last was pure sarcasm. Imagine Jack Dempsey hitting you a sleep-producer on the chin, and then when you were listening to the sweet little birdies sing, he would softly murmur, liThat is alli' From that moment on, we loved Griggs and influenza in the same way. The old kill-j'oy hadnit leit us a chance to get the team rein- stated. We would have to play Pasaderia with a bunch of rah-rah boys, who oouldnit wrestle a playful puppy. we were going to he stepped on, murdered, and humiliated by our blood-thirsty rivals in order to afford pleasure to a dilapidatexi old sand-crab, who had funny ideas, and used us to practice them on. The entire student body would have gladly led him to the lions: in fact we raved about him all clay and night, and early next morning, or eleven o'clock to be exact. our board 01 strategy met. This strae tegic group consisted of the team, the. coach. and a few oi the leaders in school, and the conversation scorched the wind. It ran like this. iiHere we are with a team that could have knocked the paint off the Pasadena goal posts every quarter, a hunch that could beat iem as easy as falling off Pike's Peak, only easier, because you've gotta climb Pike's Peak heiore you can fall oil. And then to have this bird crab the act! Can you feature it? The team was about to give up the ghost and pass resolutions proclaiming Griggs a second Kaiser, when Walt Daly, the brainy one of the crowd. began to come down with an idea. He began: ilisten fellows! were going to get murdered tomorrow. Ain't you the little fortune teller, moaned Tim Donnoly. You ought to play the races, Walt. Some of you want to quit school, continued Daly, and a few of you want to burn down the gym, but neither will do us any good. Pasadena will beat us just the same. Therefore, I propose that if we must get beat, letis make it so had that nobody will ever forget it. LITERARY 23 Let me pick the team. and FM wager my headgear against TEE shoe- string that the Crown City gang won : serpentine from joy alter the game. The coach said he didnlt care: the rest of the gang said Daly or the devil could pick the team, and since his Satanic majesty was busy, Daly was left in charge. He began to plaster the toiwn with placards and hand hills. They read something like this: llA new teamealong With new rules, and an absolutely new style of game will be intro- duced by Long Beach. The famous Griggs' system of footbaIl will be put into practice by the local team, and amazing results are to be expected. It added, that tea would be served between halves, and that the admission would be free. This advertising brought out the largest crowd in the schoolls history. The stand and bleachers were packed, while every avail- able inch of space around the field was taken up by visiting autos. At oneAthirty olclock, one hour before the game was scheduled to start, Griggs took the seat of honor, and he looked pleased as tho he had inst reformed a tribe of South Sea Islanders, and was about to see them devour cooked meat for the first time. At exactly two-twenty, the Red and White team came trotting out on the gridiron. They were certainly a husky bunch, all of them. Our real team, most of whom were seated together in one section of the grandstand, got up and cheered their opponents vigor- ously. Griggs smiled. The dear young chaps were doing marvel- ously well, he thot. Then out team made its appearance, and we stood up and yelled ourselves hoarse. We forgot our hatred for Grlggs, we forgot the dark future, we forgot everything, and then we settled down to en- joy ourselves. Daly had outdone himself in picking that team. First in line, and carrying the ball on a pillow, came Billy Mignon. He's the chap who doesn't dare hang around a soda fountain for fear someone will pick him up by mistake for a lemonade straw. He had on ice 24 CAERULEA '20 cream pants, and a brand new straw hat. Next in line was Elmer Heaton, who they say fought in the Alamo. Then came tTRube Milter. Rube's idea of a good time was to sit on the fence and watch the snails go whizzing by. Came next, Tiny Whitward who was so fat that he had to have his brother take off his shoes for him. Last time he Weighed, the scales rang up an even three hunched, but that Was a year or so ago. Since then he has been taking on a little weight. Then there was Johnny Murphy, clad in his pajamas; Johnny carried a hot water bottle and a camp chair. Cutie Mc- Clure, who as a football player, would have made a good door inat, came rambling along with that peculiar walk of his. Following Cutiet' came a string of tweny or more funny looking specimens. Some of them wore bathing suits, others baseball outfits, and all of them brot along a chair. A couple of fellows had a pitcher of water and a glass apiece. These were the water boys. The parade was the best it had ever been our luck to see, and we y'eiled till we ached, as Daly's plan became clearer to us. Pasadena was a trifle taken back at first. but they failed to set up a iuss. They were undoubtedly too surprised to protest. The visit- ors won the toss, and decided to receive; the two teams lined up, and Tiny kicked off. A Crown Cityh guard picked up the ball and started in the general direction of our goal line. Cutie't McClure Charlie Chaplined up to him and bowed, begging him to stop. The guard kept right on going. Billy Mignon, who is almost as fast as Charlie Paddock, ran along with him for a few yards pleading with him to listen to reason, and give up the ball. It was no use. The runner went over the goal line for a touchdown. The Pasadena rooters didn't know whether to go insane with toy or disgust. Our bunch clapped its hands pleasantly and started to sing, Brighten the Corner Where You Aret'. Those of the faculty who were most human began to get a little uneasy. They suspected all was not well along the gridiron. The teams again lined up for the kickoff: This time ttBulI T TTERARY 25 MacIntosh, Pasadenats giant fullback, sent the bait end over end far into our territory. Some of the Long Beach substitutes who were drinking tea near our goal posts were considerably taken back, when the pesky pigskin knocked over the kettle. spilling the tea hither, thither. and yon, and then some. They picked up the ball and carefully washed it, and then presented it to one of the iiCrown City ends. This worthy individual declined with profuse thanks, but the protege of Griggs insistent. The Pasadena youth bowed low, and wouldnit think of it. The Long Beach boy finally gave in, and the grandstand hysterically shouted, Our bail! Johnny Murphy, who was our quarter back gave the signal which was the first two lines of My Rosary, and the center present- ed him with the ball. The Pasadena captain offered to send one of his owu men to carry the hall for Johnny, but Murphy was very shy, and wouldn't think of causing so much trouble. Some one suggested that Johnny conjugate the Latin word amoii; this he did, and Long Beach made a touchdown. The Green and Gold routers went wild, and the yell leaders worked themselves into a frenzy leading- Peaches and Cream Peaches and Cream Team, Team, Bully for team! But the touchdown seemed to have exhausted the local pets, and when the Pasadena tackie guessed in which hand Billy held his straw hat, Pasadena scored again. By this time people were leaving the field in disgusted bunches. Most of the Pasadena machines had headed for home and peace, and even the special train was getting up steam. The faculty box let off a kind of glowing red, and they looked about as comfortable as Barefoot Charley would on the well known burning deck; that is, all, of course, but Griggs. He seemed perfectly satisfied, and was enjoying himself immensely. Every iew moments he would turn 26 CAERULEA '20 to the principal, who sat next to him, and say. There, I knew it. It can be done. Between halves tea was served, and the players drank each otherts health. The Pasadena fullback treated the two squads to hChet-ry Flips and all was getting along lovely. The Long Beach backfield sang the Sextette from Lucia , which met with instant success. The entire gathering joined in on the chorus of 'Where do we go from here? Then Daly suggested, since the referee had been taken to the Sanitarium for a rest cure, that they all don the hcivies and go down to the Liberty, and see Mary Pickford in Pollyanna. Everybody agreed, and arm in arm the two teams marched to the gym. 'Twas the end of a perfect day. ON A FOGGY MORNING Afton Dill '20 The worldts a. Quaker this morning She wears gray clouds oi tulle.

Arriving at the gym, I dash upstairs to the locker room. The long rows of steel doors seem tensed in preparation for the coming battle. As I remove my coat, I give my locker a kick, anticipatory of the opening ceremonies, for lockers are like the well known sex: the rougher you treat Iem the better they act.

And when it was over nothing had changed perceptibly. The moon had moved oniy a little way and the shadows had slid a wee bit farther. But, otherwise, everything was the same.

LITERARY 43 m RICHARD ALIAS ROSE By jennie Swenson '20 Richard stretched his Iank limbs under his desk and squinted at what he had written the moment before on the back of an illustration in a library book. Dear Reader: PIease write to me, Pm very lonesome. Rmcse Stone 1213 Linden Avenue Long Beach. Cal. Richard had signed the Rt of his name and then, with a sudden insipration, decided to write a girfs name, iust to see if anything Would happen, for Richard was feeling very hard of heart that day. Hope some guytll be fool enough to write to me, so I can make him feel silly, he said aloud and received a menacing look from the school librarian. Crushed for the time being, Richard sat rumpling his hair, wish- ing the bell would ring, and thinking principally of Mildred. It seemed to him she was at the bottom of all his troubles, and he sav- agely failed to convince himself she could go to the bottom of the Ocean as far as he was concerned. He had asked her to go to the ball game with him, and quite contrary to all expectations, she had promptly refused. The crowds in the hall had separated them; so now he was tortured with every reason she might have given for re fusing. It was on the impulse that he had written what he did in the li- brary book. It seemed to him when he did it that if he could induce some Well meaning young person to betray himself and write to Rose Stone , that it would in a measure make up for the chagrin he felt. A few days later a letter came for Ruse Stone. Richard gloated l 44 CAERULEA 20 over it insanely on the way to his mam and then tore it open 2E: locking the door behind him. In a scrawling hand was scribbled: Dear Rose. I'm very lonesome too. Couldn't we meet somewhere and get acquainted? Gust couldnht we thoughD I haven? any girl to go with tNeither have D. Could you meet me in the Art room of the Public Library Friday at eight? F11 be there. Yours hopefully. Mack Tremens. All right for you, old topl Herefs Where I come for a lively time. Will I be there? Just wait and see. However. it was with some misgiving that Richard approached the clam of the art room that Friday evening. He guessed-rightly there would he a great deal of explaining to do. The honorable Mack Tremens would probably make a scene, but Richard thought the best thing to do was to carry his joke through to a climax. Good Heavens! The door was lockedl He looked at the clock. It pointed to a quarter of eight. The old things off, he saint, and pulled out his watch. hWell What time did I leave home. for pitfs sakes! This says twenty min- utes to wait. He glanced around the room, and then fixed his eyes on a girl sitting reacIing the Chicago Tribune. Didntt that beaver hat look familiar, and that plush coat? Richard immediately turned coward, and prepared to get out quietly and unobserved. Mack Tremens needn't think he would wait twenty minutes before Mildred for the Emperor of China. Well, he might not wait twenty minutes for an Emperor, but he would for a Queen . Mildred looked up, her grey eyes looking deep and starry under the drooping brim of her hat. Richard didrft do any of the walking he had planned; he simply stood and stared, fascinated. Mildred could act if Richard couldn't. She smiled what was EEERARY 45 intended as a reassuring smile, and-shades of Cleopatra! she was coming toward him. rm so glad you came , she was saying. Richard stepped back, bumped against the door, and at last found his voice. ttHow in the name of common sense tiid you know I Was going to be here? he gasped. I wasntt exactly certain, but I thought youtd come. You seem Pardon me, but I don't see. I have an appointment for eight O'clock here and- 0, yes, that appointment. And now, Miss Rose Stone, allow me. to introduce Mack Tremens. And Mildred accomplished a stiff little bow. Richard drew his hand across his cyas, gulped in unbelief, and managed to gasp, Great Scott! Who told you about that P hWeII-Richard! Don't you think when I read that little note. in that library book, I knew Rose Stone didn't live. at 1213 Linden Avenue. 0, that was stupid oi me, wasntt it? But I'm thankful even for that. And so this is Mack Tremens- Come on, Mildred, letts go to a show. All right, and, I'm not going to the game. with the girls as I had Dianned. I know you're not now. THE F INE ART OF LUNCHING AT LONG BEACH HIGH Ida May Berry '20 Did you bring me a sandwich, dear heart 3' No, I dkin't: Pm nearly starved and I have inst enough for my- self, answered Martha, the victim of the dear heart phrase. Mar- tha swiftly unwrapped some very delicious-looking ham and nut Sandwiches, cake, and a banana. 46 CAERULEA '20 I always like the nut ones best, but I don't mind if you give me one of those ham sandwiches. They look lterrible' good, drawled the tormentor. Martha dived hungrily into her meal. Between mouthfuls she told the other girl to let her eat in peace. 'lWhy on earth donlt you bring your own lunch instead of pestering me all the time? she alA most shrieked. A grin spread over the lunchless girl's face. llAs long as I can get some from you, why should I bother? she said in her good-humored way, a way that would make the soberest and hungriest laugh, whether she wished to or not. uYou'll soon have those sandwiches all eaten. if you don't hurry up and give me one. 0 go on! Please. I never was quite so hungry before. llHere, take that one and close your mouth, Martha handed out one of her choicest sandwiches. Give me iusthalf that chocolate-cake, Martha, and I'll be your iriend forever? came the shrill voice of another pesterer, who was just coming out of the hall. One grab and she had made the de- sired her own. Listen, girls, I wonlt have a bit left for myself if you don't stop soon, poor Martha sighed, as she drew her precious lunch closer to her. Say, Martha, do you remember that sandwich you promised me the other day if I would get your Spanish for you? Well, I'm here to claim it a girl in a pink dress frankly admitted, as she knelt down to get that which was rightfully hers. Martha looked up with a hunted expression, edging somewhere near the look of a cat who is being teased because she has been for- tunate enough to secure a mouse. She looked at her last sandwich. It was soft and flaky, with a crisp lettuce leaf and pink ham pro- truding a little on one sitie. It's yours, she snapped, holding out the lovely sandwich. lHolfter this I'll be sure and get my own Spanish. Martha, Martha, there's not a thing left in the handeout. What LITERARY 47 Shall I Clo? Pm almost dead with hunger. Martha, Who had just Started to peel her banana, glanced round to see one of her clearest friends, a little bmwn-eyed, curly-headed girl, looking up with a dis- tressing appeal in her bright eyes. If this banana will do you any E0061, why eat itf' lth. Martha, you're a dear. Yes, I know it. Pm a dear simp. Are you sure you donlt want this banana? Oh no, I seldom eat bananas-er anything else at lunch timef Martha added as she strolled over to the fountain to get a drink. The bell rang and Martha climbed the steps of the hot and dusty Study-hall. Mechanically she turned the pages of a magazine. for English. The Fine Art of Breakfasting met her eyes with some- thing of an electric shock. She dived into it and read, pausing now and then at colorful descriptions of different foocist She was hun- EI'Y and each and every kind of food had its own charm for her. When she. had finished the fascinating article, she drew out her paper and pen to write on The Fine Art of Lunching in Long Beach High. The vision of her own lunching time at that school came before her eyes, and with a disgusted sweep of the pen she mote the title of her theme. Then her pen dangled between her fingers and she gazed out of the window. If only 50mg one would teach me the fine art of keeping my lunch to myself, Ild be happy, she hall- whispered to herself. a Records have been so hopelessly smashed up this year that it will take a greater force than all the king's horses and all the kings men to piece the records together again. r18 CAERULEA '20 AT POLO PRACTICE Wiliiam Corey '20 Flop! I strike the cold water with a gasp and swim with a few quick strokes to warm up. It is raining outside as the tri-weekly polo practice and ducking contest begins in the local plunge. Finger nails have been trimmecl to fine sharp points, tom suits have been redraped with pins and cords, as the avengefuI-eye seals'h take to the brine in two teams of seven sea-Iions each. Silence. A whistIe-and the surface of the pool is chopped and beaten into white foam by the threshing arms and legs of fourteen surging, swirling, and gasping mermen. Follow a few moments of tangling, disappearing swimmers, shouting, clawing, and whirling in the turbulent green water, some with feet uppermost. Then a whistle, and the hRer order, Get out of the water- you two over there! They had evidently forgotten the ball and em gaged in a private naval battle of their very own, mostly a submarine engagement. The heavy, half water-Iogged polo ball is tossed about With great speed, and when a strong arm propeis it, woe to the unfortunate whose head is in the path. A favorite temporary diversion consists of an aqua-leapwfrog stunt in which two players alternately duck one another, each gorging air when he is passing over his opponenfs head. Spectators alone wioy this. Long before the tantalizingly slow hands of time reach the half- hour mark and a bell rings announcing the end of practice, the play- ers are ttwinded and gasping and the play is sluggish. Then the Coach orders. Acroxs and back, and we slowly drag our tired selves across and back -and homeward. LITERARY 49 FRESHMEN TAKE NOTCIE Margaret Dill '23 Ann dear- Well, honey, I hear that you are having a horrible time as a fresh. So am I. But I have a wonderful scheme of lessening the terrors of being a 9B. By means of this deep-laid plot I deceive my schoolmates into thinking that I am a soph. This is how to manage it. As you know, the sophomores think they are just a little bit better than any one else, just because they have ceased being freshmen. Pay careful attention and you wontt be a freshman any more. I walk down the aisle with my head in the air tot course not without a little dread oi being tripped; I moan continually about those horrible teachers and just about weep over ghastly lessons. I use words that my vo- cabulary has never known the meaning of and never will. Then I brag and run a big bluff and. of course, tell every one about it. I count up on my fingers every morning in the iitney the number of times I dttchect in the last few days. I really eniOY watching the eyes of the youngsters bulge out and, of course. they agree with every thing I say. I talk the most of anybody, until I hear a junior or senior coming and then I wilt. Goodby and the best of luck to you in your new campaign. Your loving friend. Margaret If you can't think of anything original to write in your friend's Caerulea, don? worryw-he cantt either. 50 CAERULEA '20 MY LOCKER Willard Bobbitt '20 Have you ever shared a locker with three other fellows? If not, you have never experienced the fullest meaning of the word chaos. Have you rushed to your locker between periods and tried to extract a book from its depth with three other vigorous young mate students trying to do the same thing? If so, the Great War would have held no thrill for you. Have you gone trustingly to your locker to get a book. only to find that one of your partners in crime had left his at home; consequentiy had borrowed yours? It so, you have felt the angry tires oi vengeance rage in your heart; Have you ever had a teacher stop to speak to you when you were in front oi your open locker? Have you seen the disdainful look upon her face as she glimpsed the untidy interior? If so, you have ielt the utmost depth of mortification. It I had my way, there would be a locker for every book. But alas, why dream of such an unattainable paradise when the cruel fact of the case is that you are a one-fourth owrler of one locker. And yet perhaps the naughty girls That pull their eyebrows out, Will marry dreadful country churls That let their whiskers sprout.-J. G. S. Caerulea is a pretty good book this year, isn't it? You might as well say Yes, because it won't make the slightest difference now if you don't. Helen Dana Starkey ,20 Deer Marry, Well, Marry, this being my fifteenth hirthday,, and me also going t ohigh school, it seems like. I should tell you a secret which has been in my head ever since I was out of it-twhich was when I first looked at youJ It is the kind of a scecrit which makes me not like to look at You, and yet feel real baddly when you are not near so I can. It also takes away my apatite and makes me fed queer away down, and stuffed up in my throte. Did you ever feel that way? And then, Marry, Susan Smith has awful red hair, hasn't she? She ought to have party brown hair like yours. Brown hair has a way of rapping itself around my hart. If I wasnIt so bashful, I could say a lot of things, but ifs strange what a lot of diffcrncc who you're writing to makes. Marry, I love you. Isrft it queer how these words affect myself, making even my eyelashes quivvcr from the way my hart is beating. Marry, I how you will take me seriously, and feel that now since I wear long pance and am fifteen, maybe we can go to a movie or someplace. Of course. if I wasen't so perturrhed When I see you I could tell you this with my voice which always qUiWcrs With emosion even over the telephone, depending who I'm talking to of coarse. But even writing is kind of embarasing, my face changing deeper each time I think your name. Well, good-bye Marry. I can't think of much else to write even, and words don't come when I want them too. William Freshman N. B. William discovered his mother looking over his shoulder. 52 CAERULEA 70 - - Margaret Hood '20 Long Beach Board of Education, Long Beach, Calif. Dear Sirs: I do not doubt that this letter will surprise you very much. - In fact, I am writing it with the intention of surprising you. in the hope that your surprise may result in action in my behall. For many years I have been silent, outwardly calm. and scam- ingly unperturbed. but my life has so grown from bad to worse that I find it impossible to suppress my feelings longer. My days of silence and submission are over. AS I said, my life has grown from bad to worse. This is indeed the, truth. The treatment I receive is shameiul. Never do I have a moment of peace and harmony. I am forever being slammed, banged, and stuffed with utter disrespect. although I am one of the most use- iul and necessary members of this institution. Moreover, I am not alone in my complaint. Hundreds of my comrades, whose indignation is no less than mine, agree with me in every respect. and uphold me in this demand for justice. I am calling this state of affairs to your attention in the hope that it may be scttlcd in a peaceful manner. However, if this is not to be, it will be settled, peaceably or otherwise. I and my comrades are determined. We are not trifling. We will have justice. Our mis- treatment must cease. I trust that you will realize the full portent of this letter, and that you will comply with my request. Very truly yours, Locker No. 628 If you canlt see anything good in your Cacrulca. pass it on to the next fellow. He may be less in need of treatment by an optom- trist. LITERARY 53 - - Afton Dill 120 To a Freshman Dear Little One: You do not know me. and I know you only by sight. Many times I have watched you from afar, and you interest me greatly. Your whole figure spells wonder and timidity, from the top of your curly head to the tip of your small slippered foot. Why are your eyes so wide, and questioning? Why does that puzzled wrinkle never leave your brow? Haven't you got used to the hustle anti bustle of our miniature city yet? I have seen you in the halls standing in an obscure corner, with a rapt expression. Your big blue eyes were glued on the captain of our noble eleven. Now fess up. Is he your idol, your dream come true? In assembly I have watched you as you sat in the front row in the gallery. Your attention was divided between the stage and the senior section. Were you dreaming of the day when you would be sitting in the middle section? When the assembly rocks with the lusty yelling of two thousand throats, you look as if you were try- ing to find some place to hide- I leave school this year, Freshie dear, and I wish you all the luck in the world. You probably will never know me, and next time I see you, your present little bashful seli will likely be exchanged lor one of dignity. I wish 1 could send you this letter, but I cant. You would not appreciate it in the spirit that it is intended. You would think I was trying to make fun of you or belittle you. Nevertheless, I shall continue to observe you from a distance this year, and you have my friendship though you don't know it. Yours always, A Senior A drinking song is one that has a rest at every bar. 54 CAERULEA l20 wh Julia Whiteside '20 To Any Student Dear Student. I am a lonely castaway and want to come and Iiv: with you. I have been without a home for almost two weeks and am very lonely. Because you have always been a hard-working student. you have never met me. Although you have often heard of me, you did not seem inclined to associate with me. You have not had time to spend With me, and hence do not know what valuable service I might have given you. I do not think that you will find me hard to get ac- quainted with, and after meeting me. I am sure you will find me a val- uable associate. I have tried to live with several students. I lived with Molly Smith for a. long while. but when she got into trouble with one oi her teachers, she accused me. oi causing the trouble, and would let mc' stay no longer. I can stay with almost any of the girls for a short time, but I want a steady home. My brothers have permanent homes with some of the boys, and are proving to be a great help to their masters. You probably think you are better off without my help. You will have to do but very little preparation on your lessons when you have me to rely on. I can put you through school and help you to get a good position. You need have no fear when I am your companion. I am sure that you will make no mistakes in accepting this in- vitation from me. Your: for better grades. Bluff Ethel Cool: '20 Dear Teacher. I dread to have you look at my last test paper, but what is done cannot be undone as Mrs. Macbeth once remarked. It really was LITERARY 55 not a good paper, and I hep: you realize that I could have done better, much better. There are many reasons why I did not do better: per- haps the most important to you would be because I did not study. But an even better explanation is that the person on my right, evi- dently not having studied either, was trying to gain impiration from the piece of foolscap in front of me. I felt it my honest duty to de- lude that person, for if two perfect papers came in so nearly alike, you would have suspected that everything was not as it should be. You might even have thought that I had absorbed some information from my right hand neighbor. But no, my work is nothing if not original. Another matter I should like to take up with you in this letter, since it is never to be sent. is that of grades. I realize that my work is always inaccurate and incorrect. Please always try to understand what I mean instead of what I say, as my tongue and my pen often get mixed up, not with each other but With themselves. I am an average sort oi person, who uses an average amount of intelligence tbut, be- lieve me, I do some keen thinking when I scheme to get out of workingy. Nevertheless I should appreciate it very much if you Would give me a high grade to that I can get on the Scholarship Society inst once. You are always so fair and just that I trust a frank admission of my hope of a good grade will be all that is neces- sary for you to raise my grade. I thank YOU: dear teacher, for Your kind attention. This has relieved my mind greatly. Yours studiously Afton Dill I20 To the driver of any iitney bus Dear Sir: Each morning at the gray hour of 7:30 as I stand patiently at the corner and wait your coming, do You ever think of me except as a hand which thrusts a yellow ticket in your outstretched fist and dis. 56 CAERULEA '20 appears in the dim recesses of the iitney?

Do you think it is fun to stand on a corner in the rain at an early hour in the morning when I've had fast four hours' sleep? Do you think I enfoy seeing you sail by and leave me thus alone-alone with visions of pink slips? Oh, sir, prithee think of all I e0 for you. To have your precious company I oft and again forage my breakfast; for you alone I run two blocks and a half each and every morning. I spend five cent: a day on you, you unfeeltng monster of greed. Think of the Buttere milk I could buy with that nickel! Do you return my patient devotion? You do not. On days that I wish to arrive just on the dot , you fly over the ground and de- posit the fully ten minutes early. On days when I'm in a hurry tmay I state that this is five days of the wealth you stop and halt at every freshman and even pick up stray chicks headed for grammar school. Of course, it's nothing to you but, sir, it means much to me. I hope, sir, that some day I shall have the courage to tell you all this face to face, but till then I needs must confide my woes in a letter that I shall never send. One who rides a la jit This is the second time Caerulea breaks into print under the editorship oi a member of the class of '20. We fust wanted you to notice that. And what are we going to do with the student who say: he just buy: a Caerulea for the autographs at the back? ENIOQ: 20 President Josephine Henry Vice-president Helm Kirkland Secretary Paul te Green Treasurer Robert Craig Class Teachers Miss Moore Miss Hall Mr. Jones To follow in the foot- steps of the class of '20, wouid not be poor advice for all the underclassmen, for when we look back over CLASSES 59 four years, it is not boastful to say that more. than the usual number of achievements have fallen to this class. In 1916-17 we played the role of ordinary freshmen, learning, more than acting, possihly, but laying the foundations for our success. We came into more prominence, however, in our sophomore year by winning the interuclass track and polo championships and ranking second in scholarship. Eve nthen the 70's were well represented in iGotball, baseball, and basketball. It wa sas juniors, through, that we established our record. For the first time, two student commissioners, an interscholastic debater, the Caerulea editor, and the two opera stars were juniors. Then again pisplaying its versatility, the class of 70, besicies ranking first in scholarship, gained unhopzdior recognition in athletics, for the football captain, manager, and ten team members; baseball captain, track and polo managers, and numerous team members were all 1920 men. Not confining ourselves to inter-class championships, however, with Olive Bursell as class president, we revived the junior-senior reCt-Itntion by a brilliant entertainment at the Hotel Virginia. But it is always the senior year that is most interesting and im- portant. Our Tacky Day . every one admits, was a laughing surprise; and 'lStop Thief , the class play. presented in December, and the big reception given for the mid-year graduates and football team at Hotel Virginia were highly successful. As a alas sthis year, we have established a monopoly in interclass activities, for all five student commissioners, Girls' League officers, ill Ibut one of the interscholastic debaters, fourteen champion foot. ball players, representatives in all lines of athletics, and Caerulea and High Life editors, are all members of the class of 1920, We are graduating, the largest senior class in the history of Poly High, trained and instructed for various vocations and collegz work; and it is with the deepest regard and loyalty that we are leaving I Orig Beach Poly High. 60 CAERULEA '20 Ted Hensen Marie Dierke: Fred Hunter Ameil- Vine: Phil Tiernan Christine Holt Mildred Youle Willard Cave!

Athletics claimed our attention first of all, and we are proud to have been represented on the ever-tolbe-remembered championship CLASSES 9 l football squad as well as the second team football, twater-polo, basket- ball, baseball, and track teams. Besides the 1921 men who have served so splendidly as regular players, Dutch McCallister, captain of second team football; Roy Miller, captain of waterapolo; Harold Hedley, manager oi basketball: Dick Doyle, captain of baseball: and Charles Hambleton, manager of track, have all filled their places most creditably. In the realm oi debate, we had one representative, Charles Hambleton, on the inter-scholastic team. In inter-class debate Mau- rine Hinshaw and Alice Scudder defeated the alI-too-contident sen- ior team, but our laurels were suddenly snatched away When the freshmen won from us in the iinal struggle. Who said that the juniors couldn't study? We have always claimed a prominent place on the scholarship honor roll, and for the second quarter of the first semester this year our name heads the list with a 14 per cent class membership in the Scholarship Society. In dramatic: our fame is spreading abroad. The Masque and Sandal Club claims a number of our members. Real ability was shown in the cast of It Pays to Advertise , the class play, which was presented April 29 and 30. The leading feminine role in Pinafore was sung by Helen Orcutt. one of our members.

These executives have provee themselves thoroughly dependable in directing all of our activities and we here wish to express our appreciatiom Our aim, as the class of '21, is to uphold the highest standards here in Long Beach High School and to prove ourselves worthy of such an alma mater.

Gunn STUDENT BODY This yearls Commission of five of the r m05t representative members of the Student In Body, has worked with unusual enthusiasm 4 in furthering all commendable student ac- tivities. The Commission has contributed much to the success of this year's football season. It was through the. willing ca.operation of this organization in bring- ing the Phoenix team to Long Beach and paying its expenses. that Long Beach was enabled to secure the Southwestern Football Cham- pionship. To Leslie Cummins, commissioner of athleticg, is due credit not only for his untiring work for football, but for baseball, basketball. track, and water polo as Well. In purchasing the bleachers built by the Chamber of Commerce for the Phoenix game, the Commission accomplished something Long Beach has needed for many years: seating capacity for every one at the games. Albert Gilbert, commissioner of arts, accomplished a much neetie service as chairman of a Constitutional Committee, appointed to draw up a new constitution that would better fit the needs of the Student Body. The other members of this committee were: Delbert Barber. Eugene Wither. Miss Stoker. and Mr. Seymour. Under this department an Artist Concert Series of four recitals was secured. and the Operetta, H. M. S. Pinafore was financed. Delbert Sarber and Olive Bursell, commissioners of boys' and girls' welfare, respectively, have successfully iiiled their offices. rit. AND COMMISSION Olive Bursell assisted largely in Good English Week and worked in ail interests 0f the Student Body. Delbert Sarbcr insti- tuted hClean Up Week , reorganized the Junior Chamber of Commerce, reorganized the fire department, organized the co-opera- five government committee and the consti- tutional committee, and revised the point system. He also acted as commissioner of finance for several weeks after Charles James' resig- nation. Charles James, commissioner of finance, was succeeded by Thomas Short. Both of these officers carried the large financial interests of the school credibly to the school and to themselves. The establishment of the Jane Harnett Memorial and the change in the system of letters were both accomplishments of this year.

Tub Coleman succeeded Chet Dolley when the latter graduated at mtd-year. When the school bond election rolled around on October 15. the Chamber conducted an interclass contest offering a pennant to the class securing the largest number of piedges to vote for bonds. Then they furnished autos for the voters, their efforts being instrumental in the success of this election that will give our school a new building. April saw the big vaudevilie put on to raise funds for financing the beneficial measures the Chamber has now planned. The pur- chase of a new curtain for the auditorium, a thing long needed. is one of the improvements that it made. The directors for this year were: Seniors, Tom Schilling, Fred Nathan. Archie Tower. Les Cummins, Tub Coleman: juniors, Sam De Bolt, Merrill Armour, Dave Hutton, Cecil Kelley, Dick Laynes, Bob Meyers, Harold McCallister; sophomores, Fred Price, Neil Har- vey, Ned Anderson, Harold Reese, Earl Brewster: freshmen, AI Hill, Ray Coleman, Fred Betts, Don Locke, and Burton Napier. The faculty representatives were Mr. Erwin and Mr. Seymour. GIRLS' LEAGUE By far the biggest and most permanent thing accomplished this year by the Girls' League has been the attainment of a mountain cabin in the Santa Anita Canyon. The cost of the cabin, $700, fur- nishings for it, including a victrola, and a fund for the transportation of girls who cannot afford to go were raised by an interclass tag campaign, in which the citizenship classes under Miss Fergus took an active part. After the concluding game of the football season, the visiting team, Phoenix, and the Southwestern Champions were entertained at an elaborate stag banquet at the Virginia Hotel. By a ruling of the commission, all pay assemblies this year were under the auspices of the Girls' League.

The League was divided into thirteen separate section: this year. Among the new sections instituted were novelty, publicity, look-out, refreshments, camp, and ptn-money. The novelty com- mittee accomplished the greater part at its work at the football games. where pennants, pompoms, wreaths, and megaphones were sold. The look-out committee has met the new giris of the High School as they enrolled, and helped them to become acquainted with the ways of the school as well as with other students. The camp com- mittee has been responsible for the selection of the cabin and the carrying on of the cabin campaign. The pin-money com- mittee has done a great work in securing positions for high school girls. And the flower committee has made and sold French bouquets at alI big presentations at the High School. The committees and chairmen are: pin-money, Ruth Williams: social, Helen Wright; noveItY! Ruth Hersey: publicity, Esther Walker; art, Helen Hunt; athletics, Genevieve Armstrong; look- out, Carolyn MacQuiddy; refreshments, Dorothy Schuek; welfare, Ann Craig; music, Ruth Mitchell; camp, Anita Schnitzlein: dra- matics, Helen Loose: flower, Beulah HubheIl. The officers are President, Vallie Reitz; vice-president, Esther Walker; recording secretary, Pauline Eaton; treasurer, Ruth Car- ruthers; corresponding secretary, Dorothy Hewitt. The faculty advisers are Mrs. Gilbert, Miss Moore, and Miss Fergus. 102 CAERULEA '20 GIRLS' ATHLETICS Pushing girls? athletics to the fore, the sweet young things have organized various teams and have stageci successfuily a huge track meet this year. The must notable of the aforesaid teams is the senior girls' bas- ketball team, which holds the undisputed championship of the school. Coached by Miss Lacy, these girls won the interclass championship cup: Forwarris, Jennie Swenson and Genevieve Armstrong; cen- ters, Ruth Manger and Frances Summers; and guards Dorothy Hewitt and Lois Livingston. The May Fizid Meet, attended by representatives from every :chool in Southern California, and presented! under the auspices of the Girls' Leagua, featured the customary ciashes, runs, shot put. high and broad jumps, and high and low hurdles. The girls competed according to class. The success of the meet was due to the efforts of Genievieve Armstrong, manager of Girlst Athletics, to the. capable direction of Coach Cieveland, and to the hearty co-operation on the part of the girls themselves. STUDENT BODY ORGANIZATIONS l 103 STUDENT BODY STORE For several years the Student Body Store, formerly known as the book exchange, has been one at the leading enterprises the school government has fostered, but this year the school can boast one of the largest, busiest. and most progressive establishments among the simi- lar shops of all the southern schools. In its new quarters, the store has expanded greatly. Well equipped, skillfully managed, and better systematized than ever be- fore, it has enjoyed by far the most succcessful year in its history. So great has been the volume of business that the store keeps open all day, having a clerk for each period. The manager expects the yearts sales to total between $18000 and $20,000. Over $7,500 were taken in during the first semester alone, while at the end of April, the receipts amounted to $15,000. The stock includes candy, soda, mil- linery supplies, drawing supplies. school hats, caps, pennants, and arm hands; all of which find a ready market. The average daily sales tre $120, more than halt of which are brought in fro mthe candy department. The store is divided into departments, each of which has its mam manger, working in cooperation with Sherman Nielsen, stu- dent manager, and Miss Bergen, faculty advisor. These depart ments have worked together with little of that petty discord that so Often mars the running of such an organization. Sherman Nielson. the manager, has a. large staff to work with, among whom are: Theo- dore Bergen, soda; George Lower and Harold Orr, candy: and Helen Welsh, bookkeeper. The clerks who have been so active both in the store and at all games and entertainments are: George Hall, Winchell Boise, Earle Sullivan, Thelma Dillman, Paul Perr- kins, Parker Coleman, and Verne Beckman: while Charles Conley has been assistant manager 01 the store. Miss Bergen. as faculty ad- visor, is instrumental in the success of the store. 104 George Lower Earle Sullivan Verne Beckmsn CAERULEA '20 Charles Conley Sherman Neilaon Harold 0n- Thelma Dilllnm g3? 13:33; George Ball Theodora Bergen Winchell Boice Parkel- Coleman Helen Welsh STUDENT BODY ORGANIZATIONS 105 Julian Hickman Frank Creasey Charles Hamhleton Fred Richards Eugene Wither Alba Nicholle Walter Creasey Dick Loynea STAGE Few consider how much the success of a dramatic or musical program depends upon the boys behind the scenes. They do a great deal of hard work for a. very little praise. They must not only possess brawn, but a large amount of keen judgment and the psychol- ogy of suggestion. They must understand the meaning of atmos- phere and dress the stage accordingly. The crew consists of five members, all of whom are selected for their particular abilities to fill these respective positions. First, there is the stage manager whose duty it is to direct the work of all. There is the master of properties, whose office is a difficult one to fill, for he must find something, often where there is nothing. The carpenter must be a real genius and make a piece of board look like a monu- 106 CAERULEA '20 ment of white or Carrara marble. The Hyman is the one who hangs on the end of the ropes which raise and lower sand bags and cur- tains. The master of scenes is supposed, by the strength of his good right arm, to move castle walls, houses, trees, and sometimes mountains. Mention should be made of the new features the stage crew have installed this year. A FIy-gallery has been built, an entire new front curtain, and a whole new set of scenery and border lights have been furnished. . The stage crew this year have shown splendid co-operation and initiative.

BUILDING AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE Of all student body organizations perhaps none has charge oi a more essential phase of school welfare than the Buildings and Grounds Committee. The members are Frank Emerson, chairman, June Maddy, Adei 1a Walker, Charles Bariey, and Russell Manger. They have done the best that has been possible in spite of lack of cooperation and they deserve the thanks of the whole student body.

Journalistic success is attained with work, and that single fact, work, explains achievement in High Life more correctly and sin- cerely than dripping superlatives and adiective-laden Hues could 108 CAERULEA 7.0 effect. If the people of the school could know the detailed Labor in- volved in the publication of a school newspaper, they could appreciate the service given them by the High Life staff thru the paper. Eugene Wither, as editor-in-chiei, holds the responsibility, gets the blame and deserves the credit. He has been able to give High Life experience and ability gained as editor of Caerulea in '18-'19 and has well continued his Caerulea policy with High Liteegiving the school the publication students want, representative, sincere, and all for everything. A journalism class that, under the direction of Miss Arretta L. Watts, has learned to do by doingwputting quality and style into their material, keeps in contact with all affffairs of the school and offers the students a complete knowledge of all School affairs. Neil Locke has piloted the sport editorship thru a championship vear, and Les Cumming, who commits the Dizzy Dope feature, recogl nized as the cleverest column in prep school journalism, has well ac.- complished the scribes' business in athletics. The news editorships are held by Jennie Swanson, Marjorie Morehead, and Carolyn Mac Quiddy, and the feature departments are directed by Frances Sum- mers, as literary editor. The entire staff of writers represents some of the strongest talent in the sehooI-Eva Richardson, Waldo Drake, Helen Starkey, Marion Sheffield, Ruth Guy, Julia Armin, Ethel Cook, Alice Scudder. Gladys Ellis, Phil Gillis, Helen Kirkland, and Beulah MeNeeIey. The business staff has made new records in every department. High Life has cleared for the student body financially far above any previous amount, the circulation has mounted wit hthe paperts growth, and advertising has become a dominant element in the paperts suc- cess. The business staff. under the control of R. R. Lynn, is headed by William Corey, manager, with Waldo Drake in charge of adver- tising and Dick Pollen and Bill Short handling circulation. High Life is representative of the best in high school ionrnalism. STUDENT BODY ORGANIZATIONS 1 IO CAERULEA '20 THE ORCHESTRA Our orchestra is doing exceptionally fine work and has received many compliments from school and outside sources. Always at the service of the student body or class organizations, the orchestra has. on many occasions, proved its worth to the school. At the invitation of the San Pedro High School, the orchestra played a fine concert at that institution and was sincerely complimented by the faculty and student body. On this occasion, the orchestra was ably assisted by Miss Ethel Ardis, whose fine dramatic soprano voice is too rarely heard. and Miss Beal's excellent violin quartette; also, the Tozier brothers, Cecil and Lawrence, in a difficult clarinet duet. The or- chestra will soon start work on the score of Pinafore and also a worthy graduation program. Mr. George C. Moore has been in charge of this work for the last six years and considers this year's ensembie the best the school has produced to date Mr. Moore's work is always of the highest order. The orchestra in to be congratulated on having a leader, so patient, energetic, and artistic as Mr. Moore.

STUDENT BODY ORGANIZATIONS 111 W FIRE DEPARTMENT Under the supervision of Bob Hurst, fire chief, the Long Beach High School Fire Department this year has been a real factor in the school. As usual, the firemen have had no chance to show what they would do in case of fire, but the drills have all been successful. The department comprises fifty men with Bob Hurst as chief, and Bab Miller as assistant chief. Neil Locke Was chief the first semester. The firemen: Company I, Main Building: Henry Lefebvre. captain: George Craig, Ed Perry, Howard Evans, Ray Price, Roy Miller. Norman Taylor, jim Lawson, Herb Rich, Hal Jetton, Oakley Morris.

CO-OPERATIV E GOVERNMENT COMJVIITTEE The Co-operative Government was organized to promote stu- dent government on a democratic basis. Several Co-operative study halls have been conducted throughout the year. The policy of the study halls was planned, and offenders were tried before this organi- Zation. THE POLY CIVIC CLUB One of the newer organizations, which has found its way into high school life, is the Poly Civic Club. Somewhat over a year ago, a movement was started to iederate all the civiCS classes through the medium of an Executive Council. At the beginning of the present school year, the citizenship classes were taken into the federation, together with certain other classes of the history group proper, each class having its own organization and being designated as a Chapter of the Poly Civic Club. During the second semester of the current year. there were more than twenty,r chapters representing a body 01 650 students. Meetings of the Executive Council, in which each chapter has one vote. occur every two weeks. The object of the organization is to cultivate an active student interest in civic problems. A twenty-five dollar paid-up member- ship in the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce is maintained, and a membership is also held in the Woman's City Club. During the school bond campaign of last fall. a committee of the Executive Coun- cil conducted a student campaign in fifteen city churches on the eve of the election. Those who have served as president of the Council are as follows: first quarter, Wiilard Bobbitt: second quarter, Thomas Short; third quarter, Merrill Armour. HONOR SCHOLARSHIP During the year 1919-20 the Honor Scholarship Society has awakened to new life. The increasing number of applica- tions for membership, from quarter to quarter, furnishes an excellent index of the interest shown. A new plan, by which school time has been granted for meetings of the society, has rendered such meetings more satisfactory. On February 6, through courtesy of the Girls' League and the Masque and Sandal Club. a pay assembly was staged in order to dde the expense of the purchase of scholarship pins. During the year, extensive correspondence has been carried on With other California high schools, looking toward the working out Of a state-wide organization. Several schools have already organ- imd societies on the Long Beach plan and the prospect for further extension is very bright. The annual banquet, which Occurred on March 19, 1920, was a live event in the social doings of the society. Places were laid for 114 in the green and gold decorated cafeteria. Superintendent Steph- an: and the members of the Board of Education were honored quests. Twenty-eight students received scholarship pins on the basis of standing made during the period ending January 31. 1920. The names of those receiving pins follow: Flora Bridge Dorothy Cooke Lillian Hotchkis: Mildred Bryant Arthur Green William Hanseh l 14 CAERULEA '20 Harold Orr Leta Sanders Edmund Grogan Gladys Paul: Ruth Allen Hugh Hollenbcak Thomas Short Merrill Armour Philip M51431 !

The officers of the organization are: President, Vivian Garner: vice-president, William Bravton: secretary, Mariorie Goddard: treas- urer, Margaret Hood; and coach, Mrs. Balcomb, whose faithful service has contributed to the success of all their productions. $16 CAERULEA i20 HI Y CLUB Never has the Hi Y experienced such a year of good times and helpfulness. At the beginning of the first Semester, the members determined to make this a year long to be remembered; and they feel that they have carried out this determination even beyond their expectations. The purpose of the organization, Tr realize Christian stand- ards in the social and moral life of the high school, has been a con- stant guide to the girls: and every member is glad to testiiy oi the benefits she has derived from the MY .

Under the efficient supervision of Mr. Just and under such officers as Frank Emerson, president; Carolyn MacQuiddy, vice-president; and Mary Huntley, secretary-treasurer, the club has experienced a very successful year. Since the aim of the organization is to gain a more practical idea of chemistry, trips have been made to dxiferent factories in our community and in nearby cities to view the actual application of chemistry to some of the thriving industries of our country. Thru- out the year, the members of the club have had the privilege of hear- ing valuable lectures by men well-versed in the study of science The chemistry team will again compete in the Southern Calif- ornia Chemistry Contest, in Los Angeles, which takes place each June. Those who were members of the team last year and who succeeded in tying for second place in the contest were Delbert Sarber, Floyd Taber, Mildred Dice, Glenn Hile, Frances Frick, and Stafford Sunni, BOYSt GLEE CLUB The Boys' Glee Club has appeared at numerous school and municipal gatherings this year. Its biggest work was the presenta- tion of the opera H. N1. S. Pinafore in collaboration with the Girls' Glee Club.

It has not been maintained to bring a great profit to the student body. but to serve the students with well cooked, inexpensive meals. As in former 3 cars, students have been employed to help serve. A USELESS SOLILOQUY: BY HOPELESS To eat, or not to eat: that is the question;-- Whether ttis better to fast in the aristocratic atmospherc of The store , Or feed in low-brow gluttony at the handout. l'o cabtto feed. To feed; and, by a fceci, to say we end The innervache, the thousand natural pangs, That flesh is heir to, ttis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To cat;-to feed;- To feed!

To eat, to taste, enioy,-not just to fill. Oh, who would bear the buns of hardened age, The clavfd oter leavings of the first in line, The ham san's,-with but a strip of fat, That thinly qualify to their great name, The ones of meager beef, with gravy cold The hash, with pepper in excess of needs, ttSpaghett, elusive, with tomato sauce, When one might by petition up and end them.

The gastronomic X of our hypothesis. The unknown quantity that makes us shun reform And makes us rather bear the ills we have, Than fly to others that we know not of. ON ALUMNI DAY Chief speakerw-Memory is a sad and tickle fade. As boys and men we devote anywhere from ten to sixteen years in the basiness of acquiring an education. Two years after we leave school, or often in less time, we cantt remember whether it was Paul Jones or Daniel Boone who said, Give me liberty or give me death. ILI'TARY' ' ' ' Taps sounds on fete day. The announcement of the loss of our commanriing officer, Col. Boice, which came to us on the eve of last Armistice Day Was a sudden and almost unbelievable shock. To us who had worked with him in preparing for the Armistice Day parade, who had seen him marching at the head of the Training corps unit, his sturdy and soldierly carriage cre- ated the impression of health and well being, an imgaression that was erroneous. for only a keen interest and pride in his unit kept Col. Boice at their head that day. He wanted to lead his boys in the celebration, and he did. The interest and pride of Col. Boice in his unit was evidenced bY his desire to lead his boys in the celebration. As he came past the reviewing stand he stepped into the box and watched the lines going by. The sight of the commanding officer was an inspiration to the men of the unit, for a veteran oi the Argonne and San Mihiel said to the Colonel, iiThey look like some of the old outfits before the war. Anci with pride, Col. Boice straight- ened up and replied, They have the same spirit. A rare tribute to the kindliness and big heartedness of our first commanding officer is his reputation throughout the service. Wherever he went his men called him Daddy Boiceehe was a father to his men, kindly, courteous, tactful, vet always leading on by example and encouraging in the attainment of the bigger and better things of life. Col. Boice has answered his last call to quarters-but his spirit is immortal. The lives he has touched, the men who came in contact with him will go out and carry on the doctrine oi seli- sacrifice and service for mankinde-until his spirit, like the ripples from the pebble striking the smooth surface of the lake. Will spread on and on in never ending waves and bless anti help humanity. In the death of Charles Hambleton, the students of Long Beach High School have a deep sense of personal loss. The loss is great and deeply felt because Charles in his varied activities touched the lives and interests of so many. He was an excel- lent student; he represented his school in debate as only he couid; he was an efficient manager of athletics: he was unequalled as an officer oi the R, O. T. C. His service to his country during the late war won for him the deep respect and admir- ation of all. The students trusted him and there- fore nominated him for the office 01 commissioner. This is an honor accorded to but few students. We shall not forget his straightforward. un- assuming character. He was a true friend and one upon whom we couIcI always depend.

First of its advantages is the chance to train for, and to practice learership. Next the spirit of obedience. cour- t ' tesy, and manlinesa is built .7 up among the members of the t unit. Then again the drill and games that are participated . II in every day aid the fellows in mconps building up their muscles and lungs. But what will unquestionably be of most use to the members of the R. O. T. C. is the ability to MILITARY i 29 think clearly and quickly and then to put into effect that which they have thought out. All of these benefits come from the daily drill. Four days a Week the R. O. T. C. men drill with rifles and learn the art of concen- tration and obedience by the squad, company, battalion and regimen- tal drill. A iew minutes every day physical exercise is given to de- VeIop the muscles of the cadets. One day a week is spent in games and competitions between the various companies. The R. O. T. C. unit, numbering over one-haIf of the total number of boys in this school has been from the first a determining factor in school life. Among its members are athletes belonging to the football, track, waterpolo, and baseball, and all other teams of this school. Its members are also well represented in the com- mission and on the debate teams, while over one-half of all the class officers are in the organization. The R. O. T. C. has supported football by guarding the field and aided the school by patroling the halls. Never, in its history, has it been called on to do a job that it was not able to handle. The R. 0. T. C. play, The Man Who Wentl' was a huge success, and one of the big social events of the year. Much credit must be given i t the Masque and Sandal Club, who presented the play, and to Lt. Col. Archie Tower, who managed it. The unit in this high school was organized the latter part of the Year 1918-1919 by Colonel Boice. The foundations for a great unit were built by him. When detailed here by the government. he at once set to work to create an interest in the unit. In this he succeeded So well that nearly one hundred per cent of the incoming freshmen were enrolled in the R. O. T. C. He was aided by Lieutenant Zieg- ler. By the united efforts of these officers, the cadets were able to get their uniforms early the next year. This year when school opened the unit was immediately orga- nized by Colonel Boise and temporary officers appointed. Six oom- panies were organized, and drill in the school of the soldier was CAERULEA 20 Archie Tuwnr Fred Nathan Lilburn Tomlinsnn Paul me Esli Daniels Norman MacDonald Waldo Drake Charles Andrews Clare Hamman Frederick Wilaon Robert Meyers Albert Gilbert Delbert Sarber Curtiss Avery Herbert Read Kenneth Wing MILITARY : Milton Smith DOURLWS Harrisun Albert, Cubes Raymond Foster Winchell Euice Glenn Hile Clay Kniss Frank Richey Cecil Barton William Corey Newwu Merriam Neil Harvey Charles Hambleton George Lower Wayland Hoyt, Abbot Bernay 132 CAERULEA '20 mi N; nvdlt.fl'gII-JI MILITARY . .. 133 h a COMFgANfEEY ti-F-CA'T 134 CAERULEA '20 started. The total strength of the unit at this time Was approx- imately three hundred and fifty cadets. The work progressed rapidiy. and soon the men were ready for battalion and regimental reviews. The examination for commissioned officers was held and regular 01- ficers Were appointed. The drill was carried on by these men, and non-oommissioned officers were appointed. Work; has progressed until, at the present time, sighting and aiming exercises are being carried on with hopes of going to the range soon. Not only is the drill increasing, but the enrollment has been larger, until there are eight companies with approximately five hundred men enrolled. Soon after the death of Colonel Boise, Major Edwards, U. S. A. Ketch, was detailed here and arrived November 22. During this in- terval before his arrival, the work was carried on by Lieutenant Zieg- ler, who had been Colonel Boice's assistant. On December 9, Ser- geant Haddox was assigned here as the assistant instructor of mili- tary science and tactics. On February 25, Captain Heath, U. S. A; Reti, was assigned to the unit. The excellence of our unit is largely the to the work of these officers. The commissioned cadet officers should also be given great credit on account of their work in connection with this unit. They were commissioned as follows: Col. William A. Dewire Lt. Col. Archie Tower Capt. Paul Frewaeg. Adi. Capt. N. D. MacDonaldeReg. Sup. Off. Capt. Ein DanieIs-Pers. Adi. Major Lilburn Tomiinson-C.

GIRL CADET BATTALION The Girl Cadet Battalion is a military organization in our school of which we may be iustly proud. The great increase in the num- ber of girls who have taken advantage of the opportunities offered by this activity during the past year shows clearly the interest that has been created by the organization. One hundred and forty cadet members now compose the three companies or the battalion of girls.

Besides this, DEBATE 539 more interest in debating than usual has been shown by the sttEe-n-t body. About twenty tried out for the first debate against L. A. High. The first debate with University High School, was a practice debate. Floyd' Taber and Virginia Williams displayed exceptional teamwork, and ably negated the question: Resolved, That the jury system in the United States should be abolished. Long Beach was easily awarded the decision. the score being 197 2-3 to 181 2-3. Miss Williams won initial honors, with Floyd Taber a close second. In the first league debate with Los Angeles High School, Mil- dred Bryant and Charles Hambleton repeated history by out-argu- tng Mr. Perry's hopefuls to the tune of 195 1-3 to 187 2-3. In this debate Long Beach supported the question: Resolved That the jury lystem in the United States should be'abolished. Miss Bryant took first place in the hard fought verbal scrimmage. Although Long Beach was awarded the Whittier-Long Beach debate because of default on the part of Whittier, due to sickness of their debaters, the debate was held two weeks after schedule on February 26, I920. The veterans of the University High debate, Virginia Williams and Floyd Taber, upheld the affirmative of the question: Resolved, That the naturalization laws in the United States should be made more stringent. The Long Beach orator: out-classed the Whittier boys in every respect. The score tallied up with 200 for Long Beach and 187 for Whittier. Our debaters tied for first. The third league debate. was to have been with Manual Arts High School but this debate was forfeited to US. This put Long Beach in direct line for the final debate for championship. This debate for the championship of the league will be held with the winner oi the Hollywood-Inglewood debate early in June. On March 4 the alternates for the first team met San Pedro High School in a friendly debate. The question was the same as that of the Whittier debate. Delbert Sarber and Dorothy Free- land 23ny pointed out why the naturalization IaWS should be made more stringent. The San Pedro debaters put up splendid argu- 140 CAERULEA '20 meats, but the score was 193 1-3 to 189 in favor 0! Long Beach. Delbert Sarber took first place. Long Beach has been fortunate in having two excellent coaches this year: Mr. Nattkemper, head of the Public Speaking department at Long Beach Hi, and Mr. Rankin of the science department. INTERCLASS DEBATE A new system has been started in interclass debate this year. Each class has a debate manager: Elmer Waite, freshman; Harold Keese, sophomore; Abbot Berney, junior; and Buelah McNeely, senior. Under the new scoring system a class may lose the first debate, but still have a chance to win the interchss championship. 1n the first series of ciebates Tommie Diamond and Billie Summers took the ireshmen to victory by defeating Glenn Coolidge and John Benwell; while Maurine Hinshaw and Alice Scudder led the jun- iors to success by defeating Leslie Cummins and Parker Coleman. THE DEBATERS Miidred Bryant has proved herself a hard worker, and with her pleasmg personahty she was a sure winner. Mildred graduates. Vtrgmxa Wilhams has followed the footsteps of her brother, Don, as a winner. Virginia finishes this year. Dorothy Freeland is a conscientious hard-working debater. She is a sophomore; watch Dorothy next year. Floyd Taber, an interclass debater last year, has been old reli- able to the team, a. clear thinker and a great worker. Floyd graduates. Charles Hambleton was our soldier, orator, and debater. and master of the English language. Delbert Satber is a clear-thinking, hard-working, conscientious debater. Delbert goes to college next year. To fill the position of debate manager for so large a school and do it successfully requires not onlyr good judgment, but persistency of effort. These quaiities have been splendidly exemplified in the work of the debate manager, Russell Manger. w-Mr. Nattkemper. 119111321 Don? you want to come into the and- itorium with me? They are going to have the dress rehearsal for the. last dra- matic effort of the school year, called As It Were. We can sit in the back row and Watch. I'll tell you who's who, whlie we wait. Football is the hero, Lord Bacon, good sport: Drama is Poly Flayit the lady beautiful; Girls' League is the little coy Sarah Jane, who indulges in hero worship, Football being the hero; Oratory is Lord Bacon's rival, Words Worth More; Scholarship is the little prig, Rita Am, who thinks Lord Bacon is queer; Music is the fair siren. otherwise vamp , Harmonica; Hi Jinks plays the comedian role of Six And- thcnsomc: Good English is the monocled professor, Brainsand Tongue: and F In is the villain, Senor Plagenza. Ooh, they are going to start. Foothali speaks first. On September I9, Don Tobey introduced me to you, and made a few remarks as to my great personal merits. which worcis you lis- tened to rather sceptically and received with feigned enthusiasm. My second appearance was on October 9, when Attorney Burke, Dick Lawson, near relation to the Opportunity Kid and Chet Dolley urged you Long Beach rooters to take root and root. Drama has something on her mind. Wonder what it is. hI featured AI and Marjorie In a comic bargain skit, In boosting Football's clash with Poly And I know they made a hite Their names have since been heard Since October twenty-third. I42 CAERULEA '20 Poly Playit got her poetical feet mixed up, but it doesn't matter. Here comes a page with a broom and a garbage can. His name is Tidy Up. He looks as if he needs to practice what he preaches. We had a grand clean-up Week, and finished it with a neat and clean little assembly on October 27. You'll remember it: it was the only one of its kind. Good English is next. Laura Horahan, a harmless little freshman, frisked away with iirst honors on November 3, in the Good Speech oratorieaI contest, much to the chagrin of the Iordly seniors; and you also heard more of that Good Spelling in ten minutes than the most of you have heard in ten years. Then on November 7, the Masquers figured in a wild skit in which Slang, Murderer of Good English, Profanity, and Bad Grammar rollicked together in the dim dark dungeon where High Life kept the Good English offenders. I also managed to put over a dandy pageant, November 7, When you will remember as many people were admitted as were turned away-ah, just the other way around-; so we repeated the perfor- mance the following Tuesday. Here comes a figure draped in red, white, and blue. November 10, I carried you back to the signing of the Armis- tice, and secured returned service men to finish the program. Then on the day after the Armistice commemoration, the students assem- bied to do honor at the death of one who had seen service in the World's War, our well loved Colonel Boice, commanding officer of the high school R. O. T. C. Take a deep breath and sit up straighteOratory is taking the floor. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, and Studentswn Nov- ember 25, I presented the magniiicent offer of fifty dollars, called the Daniel Farrand Rogers Memorial. as an opportunity for ambitious students to show their originality. Fifty dollars is fifty dollars. Our hero is back. Let's clap. A UDITORIUM 143 I thank you. November 25, you broke all records in yell prac- tice, and as you were yelling for me, with Dutch and Don doing gym. nastics, I thank you agatn. ttBrick also loaned me some of his enthusiasm. Poly Playit has a dreadful time keeping quiet; doesn't she? Again on November 26, I boasted Footballts interests, this time with regard to the annual Turkey Day classic. You were enlight- t'ned as to the complications that might arise out of conflicting room numbers, by the skit, Room 83. Um, listen to the Music. Did say music, I mean Siren. I toloi you of the Artist Concerts on December 3, in terms plain enough for anyone to understand: namely, Jazz. Then the concert of the Zoellner Quartet, December 10 afforded music lovers much satisfaction and was highly appreciated. 0, look at Six Andthensome! Isn't he the funniest thing! The Coach's Dream was quite a scream, And it did seem to boost the team. Some telegrams were read by Les, December fourth it was, I guess. Just see how important Poly Playit looks. Oh, I know why. I scored a big one for the seniors when Stop Thief had the whole school thinking they missed somethingeand they certainly dici if they missed that play on December H and 12. Mariorie Goddard did a fine bit of acting in her role as Nell, the crook's helpmate, and so did Eugene French, as the eiever crook himself, Nell's pal, jack Dugan. Willard Bobbitt added about iorty years to his age, and about the same number of complimentary remarks concerning his impersonation of Mr. Carr. Vivian Garner also made a dazzling A but in the role of Mrs. Carr. Her three daughters, Madge CHelen Pangbumy, Joan tMildrecI Kierseyy, and Carolyn tRuth Savviro, also showed that they could put a large claim to the dazzling as weII as clever qualities. Al Gilbert, as Cluney, played his role so well as the one with 'them taking ways! that he has been Taking leads 144 CAERULEA '20 ever since. Harold Orr as detective, Bill Brayton otherwise Doctor Willoughby, Charles James i. e. Jamison, Julian Hickman, police sergeant, and Fred Wilson, minister, completed very completely the star cast. Mr. Nattkemper was coach in chief, while. Miss Burdick, Miss Steele, and Frank Greasy Were responsible for artistic effects in general, also in particular. 0 list while the Siren sings! On December 12, with the aid of the orchestra, glee cluhs, sight singing classes, chorus and general student body, I managed a very successful and splendidly inspiring Christmas concert that sent you into Christmas vacation with a genuine Christmasy feeling. Here's I'm an Alumnus. We came back to the old school on December 30, and had a taste of that grand and glorious home-coming feeling. iHome sweet home, for 113'. Hi Jinks wants to frolic a bit. All right, you tell iem. The Hi Jinks Triple Trio tried to outwit tne seniors by giving their idea of crooks in Halt Crook . Charles James changed from the combustible Jamison, to the blushing Nell, while others made equally drastic changes in order to carry out the stolen idea. This was naturally a watch-night party. Well, it's about time Lord Bacon came in for a few words. In a rousing assembly, January 9, Les Cummins uttered words destined to become historical in this high school. It was after our championship wooers had captured the state honors, ami Phoenix was Waiting outside the door as it were. to donate the Southwest Championship to the ones really deserving it. These were his words: iYou ought to come out and go crazy over your team next Satur- day!' I notice you followed his advice. Harmonia has the next speech. David M. Roth, if you remember, gave a memorable exhibtion of memory training, on January 21. Also, a violin quartet helped hoost the next artist concert. AUDITORIUM I45 PAYSTO ADVERTISE; j .73 IT M6 CAERULEA '20 - - The Sprotte-Lott concert on January 27 proved to be another satisfactory musical event and was very well received. Daddy Burcham will now introduce the miduyear sensation. The largest midyear class in the history of the school was ush- ered out in caps and gowns, on January 29, setting a very fine exam- ple for succeeding graduating classes. Sarah Jane and the Girlsi League forever! With a great deal of effort, I started the logs to roll for my mountain cabin, in this way opening my campaign 013 February 4. Poly Playit desire: speech with us, or to us. Which is it? On February 6, the Mousetrap succeeded in trapping the feminine failings of Margaret Hood, as well as some others, and gave George Hall a chance to assert his masculine qualities. This was a Icholarehip assembly. Lord Bacon's last appearance in action. The Community rally at the auditorium February 6 did much in promoting congeniality between the townspeopie and the stu- dents. In recognition of Poly's great honors in winning the South- west Championship, each member of the first team and each sub was presented with a gold engraved football. I knew it. Just see what Flu is doing. Isn't it dreadful; he's driven everyone off the stage: His disposition is something terrible. No more assemblies until further notice. Ah, he is gone, and Poly Playit is coming forward timidly. He didnit say 'No more plays! and, anyway, he couldn't stop 1h; 'Man Who Went'. Wasnit it iust splendid the way they made a go of the 'Man Who Went? Lowell Oliver, with his keen im- permtion oi the baton; Esther Walker, in her surprising am! shrewd portrayal of the wicked countessi role: Vivian Garner's crea- tion of the haughty, snippy, yet humorous Lady Caxton: Mariorie Goddard with her ease as Evelyn; AI Gilbert as the splendid Man Who Went himself: Don Riley in his successful succumbing to the Connteu' charm and intrigue; Charles james as Paul Hague with AUDITORIUM 147 his bitter hatred for France, all made up the dramatic cast that effected the climax of Masque and Sandal eiforts this year. Mrs. Balcomb acted as coach efficient. Football didn't leave after all. Aren't you glad? When Flu finally consented to allow one assembly a week, we had one. on March 10, at which I was presented with four cups, and a banner signifying all state honors, as well as the Southwestern United State; Championship. This is my East appearance, and I thank you for your loyalty and consideration. And now we see the patriotic figure again. In honoring the ioved memory of Colonel Boice father of the R. O. T. C. unit, the members of his battalion of boys and the Girl Cadet battalion presented a bronz tablet to the school as a memorial to their loved commanding officer. The plaque bore this inscription: IN HONORED MEMORY OF CHARLES H. BOICE COL. 7th CAVALRY UNITED STATES ARMY RESERVE OFFICERS TRAINING CORPS GIRL CADETS NOVEMBER ELEVENTH 1919 Now, for some more music. Olga Steeb, American pianist, young and attractive was here March 18. I think I need say no more. Greetings, Sarah Jane. Miss Julie Ellen Rogers spoke of individuality and charm at a girlsi assembly, March 25, after members of the girIs' basket ball teams had received numerals. and the senior team had been presented with the interclass championship cup. 0, what in the world! It's Mr. Brewsterw-and in a clown's suit. Just listen. Just before Spring vacation, on March 25. we got the faculty up here for the purpose of teaching Mr. Orpheus a few things about 148 CAERULEA '20 h - . vaudeville.

'The figure in red, white, and blue is motioning for silence: The saddest day of the year tor many students at Poly High, was April 13, when news came of the death of Charles Hambleton, a fellow student who had won. their love and respect through faithful service for his school and his country.

Poly Playit is bowing again. As I told you before, It Pays to Advertise , and evidently you believed it, for the iunior play on April 29 and 30 certainly brought results. With Opal Hughes and Gertrude Amy dividing honors as very clever and attractive leading ladies, and Bertha Bonar AUDITORIUM 149 150 CAERULEA '20 h h With Don Riley starring most conspicuously, the play went off as was to be expected. Wendell Hayes played the role of mililonaire son quite naturally, and the cast found ample support in such lesser lights as Loyd Lavender, HaZel Bobbitt, Parker Fitzhugh, Russell Manger, Howard Bovard. Lilly Lev, and Sam De Bolt. Mr. Natt- kemper, as coach, count: this as another of his successes, with Dick Loynes. manager? H. M. S. Pinafore now heaves into view. I know that is what the siren will sing about. The seniors thought they had a play, and so did Masque and Sandal, and so did the juniors, for that matter, but Pinafore had not ventured out on the high seas at that time. Now, where there was a name, there is a reputation, for the leads in Pinafore simply sur- prised everyone when they hove to on May 19, 20, and 21. Helen Orcutt stands out as one of the best among Poly's actresses and song- stresses; her actfng, accompanied by magnetic voice, setting her up among the school's historic and operatic stars. Robert Noce played up as a most charming hero; and Ed Merrill, with his ferocious yet comic villainy and Paul te Green, the rough and ready gentleman, aided him quite efficiently in the plot. Ione Hicks not only won the love of all the merrle sailors, but claimed the affection; of her audu tenee as well. Bill Brayton bagged the role that fitted him best, hlving always had an eye to a captaincy. AI Gilbert and Mariette Goddard will always be remembered for the humor they brought into the opera, with Stein improvising an accompaniment all his own. Del Sarber also made his part important; they couldnlt have had the show without him. A very noticeable factor in the success of Pina- fore was the strong work on the part oi the choruses. Miss Ardis and Miss Gee, coaches, need not be airaid of boasting were they to admit that Pinafore was the best ever.

Combining a fast versatile backfield with a heavy experienced line, Long Beach possessed a powerful offensive that, with a. single exception, scored at least once during the first quarter of every game. In the tWelves games played, Long Beach amassed a total of 549 points to the opponentst 21, and it wasn't until the Berkeley game that the locals' goal was legitimately crossed. Never in the history of western football has a high school team annexed as many championships as has this year's eleven, and a World of credit for the squadts marvelous success is due the coaching of Eddie Kienholz. Returning to school after two years in the service, Kienholz succeeded in putting a team on the gridiron that met and defeated the strongest grid machines in the country. going through a most gruelling schedule without a single reversal, and ending the season in a blaze of glory by overwhelming Phoenix Union High School, for six years Arizona state champions, by the record-smashing score of 102-0. The willingness on the part of every member of the squad to give everything that was in him to bring victory to the Green and Gold, created a spirit that refused to accept defeat. 154 CAERULEA '20 WHITTIER-O, LONG BEACHL69 On October tenth, over a thousand enthusiastic football fans saw Long Beach roll up a Score of 690 against Whittier High. It was the initial contest of the season, and the Green and Gold backers were convinced that the Long Beach eleven could hold its own against any team in the south. STATE SCHOOLJ, LONG BEACH-56 The famed Whittier State School aggregation, flashing the scalp: of L. A. Poiy and Hollywood, came here on October eight- eenth, thirsting for blood, and aching for revenge for the beating they had received the previous Christmas. They went back to Whit- tier with their thirst for blood satisfied, but their revenge anything but complete. The final score read Long Beach 56, Whittier State 7. Early in the first quarter, Johnny Pascoe, the state school': speedy end. picked up the hall on a fumble and raced eighty yard: to a touchdown with Weasel Craig hard on his heels. Long Beach was stunned, but it turned out that Whittier had made a mistake in making that touchdown. It merely served to arouse 'iCap Dolley's stalwarts. They cut loose with everything they had and at the end of the sixty minutes of play, Long Beach had piled up an enormous lead. The largest early season crowd that ever witnessed a game in Long Beach turned out for this contest. L. A. POLY-O, LONG BEACH-H The first league game saw Long Beach topple the strong L. A. Poly team by a 14-0 score. Rain had turned the local grid into a sea oi mud, and the game was slowed up by numerous slips and fum- bles. Poly never seriously threatened the Long Beach goal line. the ball being in the Mechanicsi territory,r most of the game. The generalship oi Chet Dolley was excellent and the work of the team at holding the ball under adverse conditions was nOtable. L. A. HIGH-O. LONG BEACH-7 In one of the hardest fought battles ever staged between the two ATHLETICS 155 schools, Long Beach eliminated the powerful L. A. High 21mm the latterls field, October thtrty-first. The score was 7-0. Long Beach took advantage of an early break in the game when, towards the end of the second quarter, a local player fell on the pig'- skin after Colton, the L. A. safety man, had fumbled one of Ev Millerls punts. Starting on the Pioneer's 45nyard line, Dolley sent his men down the field in as spirited a drive to a touchdown a: a Long Beach eleven ever made, Lelebvre carrying the ball over and Tlernan kicking goal fast as the whistle blew ending the half. The third period found the two teams fighting against each other with no chance for a score looming up at any time; but in the last period of play, L. A. staged a heart-breaktng rally which all but resulted in a score. By a series of dazzling forward passes, the Blue and White Squad brought the ball within a foot of the Long Beach goal line with four downs in which to carry it over. It seemed utterly impossible for the Jackrabbit line, strong as it was, to resist the smashing L. A. attack, and the hopes of the hundreds of loyal Long Beach rooters dropped as they saw an unsatisfactory tie game coming before them. Three times the Jackrabbit forwards stopped the Pioneer backs. and on the fourth down there remained a scant foot to go. Hold 'em Long Beach! came from the stands like a roar of thunder. The great line of Long Beach forwards set themselves im- the mighty shock. The center shot the ball back and the two line: clashed. The Pioneer fullback was lost in a jumble of players. The resounding impact of the two bodies of men echoed over the field and the two walls 01 stalwart youths lirst swayed over the goal line and then back into the gridiron as Long Beach fought desperately to stand off L. A33 mightiest rush. Long Beach's gallant stand on its own six inch line will never be forgotten. The great Green and Gold wall rose after the first crashing collision, and then, with herculean effort, Long Beach hovered over the Blue and White forwards and thrust Scharbarum back. It was Long Beachls ball on clowns, and E56 CAERULEA '20 MM,;.g.gw..,.--, A, ' I ,...a ATHLETICS 157 ',. gfi i'kiu WEASEL HOGSIE 158 CAERULEA '20 Ev Miller punted out of danger from behind his own goal line. A moment later the game was over. Following Jefferson's forfeit, Manual Arts and Hollywooci failed to reach an agreement over their tie game, and Long Beach was awarded the City League title and the right to enter the pIay-off for the championship of Southern California, three weeks later CORONADO-O, LONG BEACH-59 Breaking the 01d hoodoo of never having won a football game in the San Diego Stadium, Long Beach completely outclassed the Coronado High School aggregation in the first game of the semi- finals on the twenty-tirst of Nevember, winning 59.0. The Poppy City squad put up a gritty exhibition. but they found the job of stop- ping the IocaIs' rush for the pennant decidedly too much for them. PASADENA-O, LONG BEACHAI Some 4000 fans saw Long Beach slaughter Pasadena at Tour- nament Park, Thanksgiving Day. The swre was 41-0. It was by far the most one-sided score ever made in a game between the two schools, and, as a day of thanks, Turkey Day is fast losing its mean- ing to the Crown City supporters. After the first quarter, Coach Kienhoiz gave the subs a crack at the Pasadena team. saving the regular: for the important Santa Monica contest on the following Saturday. SANTA MONICA-O, LONG BEACHeZI The Green and Gold emerged triumphant in the second game of the play-off by deieating Santa Monica, on the L. A. High grid. by a count of 21-0. The Samohi hunch put up a iighting brand of football, and their forward passes had the Jackrabbits guessing until Hoggie Evans began smearing this mode of play all over the land- scape. FULLERTONdO, LONG BEACH-47 As a result of the Santa Monica victory, Long Beach found herself in the finals for the championship of the South for the first time in the school's history, and two weeks later 8000 people gathered ATHLETICS 159 - - at Washington Park to witness the two umiefeated elevens, repre- senting Fullerton and Long Beach, battle for the supremacy of the south. This game was a surprise to everyone; even the most optimistic Green and Gold backers expected a close battle, and the final score of 47-0 in favor of the local team proved that dope isn't worth much in football. The Orange County aggregation was crushed thoroly, and the famous Hawkins to Hawkins passes went for nought against the strong aerial deiense perfected by Kienholz. The Long Beach offensive gained in every manner known to football; going through, around, and over the Fullerton line for touchdown after touchdown. DINUBA-O, LONG BEACH-41 On December twentieth, Long Beach tackled the supposedly unbeatable Dinuba High School team. Central California champ- ions, and returned home with the weII-known bacon by the nar- row margin of 410. The 3000 natives of the San joaquin Val- ley who were on hand to cheer the home boys on to victory went b'vck to their respective vineyards having cheered in vain. Between halves the Long Beach squad was serenaded by a bevy of dainty Dinuba damsels. singing You can't beat Dinuba Hig . The score at that time was 27-0 against them, proving that they were far item being pessimists. BERKELEYeiz-L, LONG BEACH-Z! At Tmn'nament Park, December twenty-seventh, before 3p. Proximately 10,000 people the undefeated Jackrabbit machine brot the state championship to Long Beach by besting Berkeley High, Northern California champions, 21-14. Forced to piay on the defensive through almost the entire contest. with what looked to be certain defeat staring the men in the face, the Green and Gold outgamed their heavier northern opponents and led by a single touchdown when the iinal whistle blew. The first half was featured by the dazzling broken field running of Dolley and Lefehvre, which resulted in two Long Beach touch- 160 CAERULEA '20 - $ rinwns, and the Iine-smashtng tactics of Berkeley that brought the Crimson-clad warriors an equal number of scores. With the game tied 1444, Berkeley continued to pound the local line during the third quarter. Their attack advanced the ball in their own territory but was ineffective when within striking distance of the Long Beach goal, and the score was still the same at the start of the final period. The ball was in Long Beachis possession on Berkeley's 35-yard line when Phil Tiernan dropped back as it to tryr a drop kick. In- MMd of kicking, Tiernan shot a beautiful forward pass over one end r' the line. The great crowd held its breath in the agonized inten- sity of the moment: then out of the melee of DIayers leaped Lawson. Hf. pulled down the balI and without losing his stride set out upon his twenty-five pard foumey to the Berkeley goal line. The Long Beach crowd: on one part of the iield were instantly on their feet. Here was the moment which every Long Beach student and every backer of the local team had been looking for. The stands were in a mad frenzy as Lawson wormed his way vast all the Crimson players except Cheek, the quarterback. With a straight-arm fab and a sudden sirie steo. Jimmy eluded the Opposing nuarter and fairly hurled himself over the line. There still remained a few minutes of play after this nerve-ting- ling run, but the touchdown had taken the heart out of the Berkeley team and the game ended without further scoring. PHOENIX-O, LONG BEACH-IOZ The largest crowd ever assembled for 9. prep school game in the West witnessed the great Long Beach eleven win the championship rt Southwestern United States by defeating the Phoenix Union High School squad by the largest score ever made by a local teameIOZ-O. It was a grand and glorious finish to the local gridiron season. Over 12,000 spectators viewed this contest. Although the seating capacity of the stands is slightly greater than half that number, the ATHLETICS 161 k a, L, . . , . 7-..-...M. crowd poured in until there ,was a mass of jostling humanity encirc- ling the field ami tugging at the. ropes impatiently. 162 CAERULEA '20 Interest in the game ran high because of its intersectional flavor. Never had a scholastic gridiron clash of such importance been con- ducted on a southern field. Furthermore, the game furnished the final kickoff of the season which had excelled any of previous years, and in the unusually huge crowci were many whose desire to he in'i :t the final whistle overshadowed their interest in the teams. The game itself .was as one-sided as the score indicates, yet the crowd seemed to enjoy it. Phoenix was outclassed in every way. Everything worked against the Arizonans. End runs, oif-tackle smashes, forward passes, trick plays. all were used to roll up the total of 102 points. If any one player stood out above the rest it was Phil Tieman. Long Beach phantom-Iike halfback. Tiernan, along with Dolley, Evans. Morris, Rich and Willet, brought his career at Long Beach to a glorious finish in this end-season game. He caused repeated exclamations from the stands by his sensational open-iield work and brilliant end runs. Nothing could stop himeat least nothing the Phoenicians coutd do. The most remarkable and successful season Long Beach has ever enioyed closed with this game, and the most brilliant of all Long Beach gridiron machines page! down into history. It Was an all-star squad and the 1919-1920 Long Beach High School eleven will always be remembered as the bunch that would not accept defeat.

He graduated in mid-year. Phil Tiernan, right halfeThey picked ten other men on the AII-Southern, not because Phil needed their support but to keep him ATHLETICS 163 company. Some wise bird compared his stride to Coy's of Val? and his hip-motion to that of Salome of Egypt, and take it from us, he had both of these artists beaten at their own game. Phil has worn his Poly suit for the last time. Henry Capsule Lefebvre, left halfe'l'he boy that made the small package famous. Hels the only member of the team that can lay claim to the record of having scored in every game he played. and when you realize that Laiy is going to be with us another year, you begin to see a silver lining. He made the AII-Southem without murmur of protest. Ev Miller, fullback-Whittier Hi's one and only claim to greatness on the grid this year was the fact that v once went to school there. Still we all make mistakes, and Miller's phenomenal punting and knock 'em dead tackling completely offsets his error. Ev graduates. Jim Lawson, right end-Lawson was a bear on the offense and a giant on the defense a rather hard combination to beat. He was chosen on the AllnSouthern and is undoubtedly the best end in the state. He will captain the 1920 eleven. Hoggie Evans, left end-One of the fastest men on the team. The fact that he outran Jerry Abbot in the Phoenix game speaks worlds for his speed. He played a hard aggressive game all through the season, and the way he could kickoff was a treat to the eyes. He was placed on the second AlI-Southem eleven. His last year. Dutch Miller, right tackIe-The fact that Miller is due for another year on the local squad forces us to sing Oh Graduation! Where is Thy Sting? Very few plays went through Dutch although he was handicapped by a bum knee and shoulder that caused him considerable trouble in almost every game. George Craig, left tackle-Craig played a whale of a game at tackle this year. and we are sure of having a number of rocks for next year's stone wall as the Weasel has at least one more year at Long Beach. 164 CAERULEA '20 ATHLETICS 165 Oakley Morris, right guard-The phrase fighting fool was coined for Morris.

His work in the Berkeley game was excellent. Kienholz is assured of a great center for 1920. Forrest Smith, manager-Smith had a big fob this year. His work ranks With that of the team-no higher tribute could be given. Coach Kienkolz-Though all the yelling ls silenced and all the serpentines are history, the fame of Coach Eddie Kienholz, who brot the I919-20 eleven through its twelve glorious games to the undis- puted championship of the great Southwest. will never die but will live as long as the game itself. 166 CAERULEA i20 SECOND TEAM FOOTBALL You have to hand it to the players on any iootball eleven that had to face the Long Beach first team this fall; they went through sixty minutes of territiic battle and usually came out of the fray iibruised in body and broken in spirit . But not so with the mem- bers of the Jackrabbit second squad, bruised in body but far irom being broken in spirit. Day after day these fellows known as scrubs iaced the crushing charges of the powerful varsity backs. Day after day they were bat- tered and bruised and kicked and, in general, sacrificed that the first eleven might gather additional power to defeat the enemy aggrega- tions. Their cause was glorious, but their work was mighty hard. Numerous honors were bestowed upon the varsity, but no mention was made of the scrubs who made the first team's phenomenal success a possibility. Itis high time we dish out a little praise to the fel- lows who made up the second teamrwithout whom, we could not now be flashing the Governor's Trophy and the banner that reads Champions of Southwestern U. S. The scrubs played six games oi their own, besides finishing a couple, the Whittier Hi and Compton games, for the first team. The seconds divided a double meeting with Hollywood, win- ning the first game at the Movie City 14-7. and losing the second con test, played at Long Beach, 14-13. The scrubs annexed both ends of the Santa Ana series by cop- ping a hard fought attair at Santa Ana 21-33, and, a week later, re- peated the performance before a home audience, this time to the tune of 14-0. L. A. 13017,r was blanked 14-0 in their own back yard, and the L. B. Yannigans got ambitious and challenged the first team of Venw ice Hi. The Venitians proved a trifle too strong, however, and L. B. closed the season with a 19-0 aefeat. The line up: Boice, Nichols, and Stein, ends; Appel and Hughes, A THLETICS I67 7, m4. .v A..,.,.,,.,. -q aa-mvy 168 CAERULEA '20 tackles; Messelheiser, Armour, and Curran, guards: Smutz, center: McAllister, captain and quarter; Curt Richards, Roy Eldred, and Fred Richards, halves; and Oliver, full back. 130 1'15 FOOTBALL The 130 pound football team made its debut in the south this season, and the lightweight gridders representing Long Beach, came within a single point of grabbing the title. Lincoln High, where the idea of organizing a 130 pound football league originated, was eliminated from championship consideration by the classy playing of the L. B. team. A spectacular touchdown in the final quarter, gave the Jackrabbits the victory 20-13. An easy 33-0, victory over Loyola, placed Long Beach in the semi-Hnals. L. A .Pon opposed the Green and Gold in the play-off. The Fame was bitterly contested, the MechaniCS leading 7-6 when the final whistle blew. Lewis and MerriI played ends, with Miller and Grey at tackles, Rusk and Tisnerat at guards and Hubbel center. Dutch McCalIis- ter called signals while Staley and Oliver handled the half back iobs with Morris Stein scintillating at full. The subs were: Robbins, Huelin, Don Seibert and Harold and Carroll Cole. H. J. Moore handled the coaching end of the game. YOU OLD roeL! YOU BEEN FOLLOWING ME FER THE LAST m: a: IT F20 ME 1'0 lHYEEFERE 5 YEARS 500-0'0 NOW-OW Fate, which at the first of the season seemed to favor an undefeated Jackrabbit track team, did a complete flip-flop before the final curtain; and Long Beach, after four consecutive wins, proceeded to drop a brace of duaI affairs, the first to the lucky athletes from the wilds of San Ber- doo and the second to the men irom Lin- coln High. The end of the season was not enshroulded in gloom, however, nay, nay, the worm was bound to turn and verily it did, in the form of Robert tStreamline Hurst. Bob completely sur- prised himself, in particular, and the world in general, when, by means of a sensational finish, he took second in the 440-yard dash in the State meet at Bakersfield. The three points made by Hurst markd the first digets annexed by a local trackster in the big meet since the glorious days of Thompson and Wark. when the Green and Gold had a track team that surpassed the best. Whittier High started the cinders flying by taking a 98-15 wal- Ioping on the local oval. Whittier won but one event, the half mile, Evans and Doyle were the high point winners for L. B., ttI-Ioggie grabbing firsts in the high hurdles anti the broad jump, while Doyle capped the sprints in nifty fashion. The spike-artists from L. A. Poly came down to try their skill, but they found the pace a little too stiff and had to be content with a 68-45 count. Anderson, a newcomer, won both the mile and the 8:30-de run for Long Beach. Pasadena tied Whittier's record of taking but one first, but made CAERULEA '20 170 ATHLETICS 17 1 a few more points than the Quakers. the score reading 89-24 with Long Beach on the heavy end. Coach Johnson's Hollywood team was next in line and suc- cumbed 67-46, Jimmy Lawson broke a school record when he heaved the shot 45 ft. 5 in. Then came the defeats. San Berdoo fourneyed quite a ways to hand the Jackrabbits the 46 part of a 67-46 score while Lincoln barely nosed the locals out of the long end of a 57Vz-55Vq meet. Neither of these alien victories should have materialized at the tape, their incepticm and culmination gaining impetus with the temporary in- eligibility of three local luminaries. In the City meet, L. B. garnered but five and two-fifths markers, Lefebvre making the majority of these by getting second in the broad jump. The Southern Cal. affair saw only two jackrabbtts place, Hurst taking third in the quarter, while LaWSon grabbed fourth in the shot. Little Bobby's great race in the State meet followed and all ended well. Special mention is due thelwork of Charles Hambleton, manager of the team. Track has never had a more efficient hard-worktng manager than Charles proved to he, and when death called him, his pals on the track team felt the 1033 deeply, for to every one of them he was a prince of a fellow.

The Long Beach baseball team had one of those seasons about which the ouiia board out in center-field bleachers seemed to be describing a wreck wherein a train- load of spaghetti jumped the track and flopped into a boiling pool of chop suey and boarding house hash. On being de- coded, the weeiee showed three games -- ' won and four lost. Coach Kienhoiz made a gallant effort to turn the greenest of green material into a Winning aggregation, but the odds were too great, and Long Beach finished the season in fourth place in the City and County League. An infield that was as shaky as a bridegroom walking down the aisle, was the main reason for L. A. Poly's 8-6 victory over the locals in the first league game. Long Beach came back strong in the L. A. High contest, how- ever, and won a classy eleven inning affair from the Romans, 34. Tommy Donovanis work on the mound, and Lawson's hitting feat- ured the game. Jimmy sent the ball over the left field fence for three bags, in the eleventh, the Opportunity Kid rode the horse-hide into deep center for a round trip. His first hit came with the bases resembling the 18th Amendment, but his circuit smash drove in two men and put the game on ice. iiCurIey Higgins was on the firing line when L. B. faced Holly- wood, and succeeded in subduing the Movie-ites 10-6. It was a weird affair, Long Beach playing poor ball, but Hollywood worse. Manual Artsi forfeit placed the Green and Gold well up in the race, but the local players couldn't stand prosperity and they pro- J .mp1 ATHLETICS ; 73 ceeded throughout the rest of the season to give exhibitions of how not to play baseball, and their efforts ranked high. Errors of the most grievous kind, and breaks that grayed Eddiek loel-rs and made the home lans feel like German residents in Alsace- Lorraine, gave Lincoln an early lead in the fifth league game, and the Railsplitters won. 10-6. But it was in the Pasadena game that Long Beach lost her soc- ial status. The lackrahbits were submerged so far in the rear that intimate friends experienced difficulty in indentiiying them separ- ately or collectively. At no time did Long Beach have the chance of Uncle Tom's Cabin south of the M. and D. line. Pasadena had a strong front from the start and in the finish the front was still strong. 'Twas the same in the middle. The Crown City pitcher had the locals eating out of his hand all the way: he was strong as Gibraltar, and as cool as Barney Oldfield pushing a wheel-barrow. A gay like that canlt be beat-so Long Beach lost, 150. As a fitting climax, L. B. took a 4-1 defeat from Jefferson. This game marked the Democratsl second victory oi the season. and proved convincingly that the local athletes didn't care who beat 'em. Speaking of the baseball team as a whole, one is forced to a:lmit that the outlook ior another championship football eleven next fall is exceptionally rosy. The line-up: Doyle, captain and shortstop; Cummins, left field; VVElliams, center field; Lawson, catcher; Lefebvre right field; Sims, third base: Maylen, second base; Gaugler, first base: Donovan and Higgins, pitchers. Willard Bobbitt managed the team and did it well; Eddie Kienholz handled the coaching end. The subs were Hamble, Kelley, and Staley. - How would you like to be a Coyote and meet a Jackrabbit in the dark? 174 CAERULEA 20 Coach Eddie Kienholz developed this year a basketball team that ranked among the best high school teams in the state. but the casaba-tossers were prevented from following football's and water polots lead by being forced to play the deciding game on an outdoor court. At that, Long Beach copped the City and County title, winning eight out of ten games played with a number of the strong- est teams in the South. The team started the season in whirI-wind fashion, when, with. out having played a single practice game because of the late football season, they smothered L. A. Poly under an avalanch of baskets, 52-8. Just to prove that the Poly affair wasn't a mistake, L. B. played rings around Manual Arts in the first home game the next week, winning easily by the count of 52-20. The following week the squad journeyed to Whittier for a little practice tilt, but they found the Quakers a fast aggressive bunch and it was only after a sensational eleventh hour rally that Long Beach succeeded in downing them, 34-25. Long Beach brought home a defeat and a perfectly good flock of alihis from the L. A. High encounter. This marked the first re- versal suffered by a Green and Gold team in any branch of athletics since L. A. turned the trick in baseball in 1919. Rain the previous day had turned the outdoor court into a series of mud puddles. The Blue and White players fround the mud to their liking, while the Jackrabbits slid hither and yon and then some, finally skidding into the small end of a 27-24 score. I76 CAERULEA '20 The locals again went int othe league lead by defeating the Hollywood quintette after a bitterly contested battle, 27-23; and overwhelming Lincoln High three days later, 63-7. The next contest was the Orange practice game, in which the local players proved that they were the masters on an indoor court. The fracas was extremely fast, but superior team work gave L. B. the game, 30-22. Pasadena gave L. B. a scare in the first half of their game, but the Jackrabbits came back strong in the second canto and slipped the magnified molecule through the hoop for a win of 40-27. The Jefferson mixup the next week resulted in a 3643 win for L. B. Eddie Kienholz's men were clearly outplayed in the first period of the finai game. being totally unable to get going in the dirt court at Orange. The finished team-work that they displayed on indoor courts was sadly lacking, their shots for baskets were wild, and their passes erratic and ill timed. In the last few minutes of play, how- ever, with the odds almost hopelessly against them, the Green and Gold players came through with a strong rally, Mhich fell but three baskets short of victory. Orange made but one field goal in the last half. The final secure read 26-21. Stockton High was later defeated by Orange for the state title by a score of 45-27. How they lined up: Clarence Eberspacher, captain and guard, Walter Meyers forward, Ray Price forward, Harry Elcock center, Roy Eldred guard, Ed Perry forward, Glen Hastings guard and Ev Miller, center. Harold Hedley managed basketball. 130 1'5 BASKETBALL Speed, brilliant, dazzling, aggressive speed. features the play of the Long Beach 130 TB basketball team. We have never seen a faster quintette of lightweight casaba tossers than the five young fel- lows that represented the Green and Gold this year. They had fight, teamwork, experience, in tact everything that goes toward the making I77 ATHLETICS .. -mrv i m MM . .A :5. :I. gm 6 m 178 CAERULEA '20 of a championship five, but they lost two early season games, because they simply oouldnit hit the old basket. The forwards had no end of shots from all angles, but for some unknown reason. the pelota refused to go thru the hoop, and the re- .mIt was a 22 to 16 lemon from Manual, and a 10 to 6 raspberry from Hollywood. Then Maylen got the range and the basket was no longer a stranger to Long Beach. The remaining games saw the Green and Gold piayers completely outeiass their opponents, and the 130 Th Iackrabbits finished the season in third place with five games won and two lost. The team: Mavlen and Norek, forwards, White center, and Beckenstein and A1 Hill, guards. The Houts brothers, Anderson. Staley, and Joe Tiernzm were the subs. Mr. Bristol coached the team. 110 Tb BASKETBALL The 110 lb basketbali team can lay ciaim to the 1920 feather- weight basketball championship of Southern California. The little fellows mapped up everything in sight and literally won their way out of games. In the first contest of the season the L. A. Poly aggregation suc- ceeded in defeating the L. B. Babes , but it took the Mechanic llU pounders an extra five minutes to turn the trick. The locals took this defeat to heart, and began intensive practice. that resulted in seven straight victories and the league championship. Mr. Moore, the coach, looked for iurther fields for his scrappin' youngsters to conquer, but found only one other claimant to the midget court title, the Huntington Park five, winners in the Bay league. The game was quickly arranged, but proved an easy affair for Long Beach. The Iine-up: Richards and Roberts. forwards, Lupher, center. and Chichester and Barton guards. The subs were Rothroek, Walker, Larson, and McCoy. It's getting to be an old story. Long Beach for the 'steenth consecutive time splashed her way to the interscholastic water polo championship of California. Tradition has it that a Green and Gold football, baseball, or track team may occasionally drop a contest, but should the water polo flotilla be defeated, 'the result would be disastrous. Back in 1916, the Redondo High team held the local sea-pups to a 2'2 tie, and the citizens of that city are still bragging of it. Since then no prep school has sunk the L. B. dreadnaughts, and the fleet has smoothly sailed on to championship after championship. L. A. Hi opened the 1919-20 sea-going festivities by drowning in the local plunge 11-0. Manual Arts took a glance at past scores and decided that while their feet were cold there was no reason for get- ting them wet and they forfeited. The Pasadena team reached Long Beach 0. K. only to get shipwrecked in the local tank, 12-2. L. A. Poly followed suit hy gargling a 19-1 defeat. Redondo High boasted a crew of aquatic stars. but they listed badly and finally sank 3-0. This game marked the passing via the mid-year graduation route of three Long Beach men, veterans of many a salty victory, Tom Schilling, captain and center half, Fred Richards, goal, and Fred Hunter, forward: all piayers of exceptional class. The Green and Gold supporters who were doubtful as to the ability of the local fleet to get up steam without the above stars found 180 CAERULEA '20 ..- , 1-... .. HEW. an e . .1 4 their fears without foundation when Huntington Park was easily swamped in the next game, 10-0. Hollywood forfeited, and L. B. finished the season without a set-back by torpedoing Lincoln Hi, 9-0. Following this victory, maniger Dutch Miller issued a state- wide challenge that went without a taker, and Long Beach laid just claim to the state championship. hDutchh' Miller, manager and sprint, Bob Miller, guard, Tub Coleman, forward, and Bob Meyers, guard. The three other reg- ulars who graduated in mid-year have previously been mentioned. Jonah Jones goal, Kenneth Curran, guard, and Walt Creasey, guard, filled the vacancies left in the team. Walt Long, Frank Creasey, and Vic Miller were utility men. lLLNNIS--H Coming to the fore after two years' obscurity, tennis was revived this Year and has met with success. The season opened with a 6-6 tie with Santa Ana. Up to the time of going to press, games were scheduled with Whittier, Fullerton, and Redondo high schools. Rep- resentatives were sent to the Dudiey Cup Tournament at Santa Mon- ica, and to the GirIs' Tournament at Pomona College. Thomas Gray managed the team, and Miss Lacy and Mr. Brew- ster coached the girls' and boyst teams, respectively. The members of this yearts teams were: GirIs' teamsn-Genevieve Armstrong, Mariam Carson. Helen Boys' teamseHarold Harvey, Arthur Shideler, Ray Price, Fred Price, and Geraid Seycort. No more fitting expression of the ap- preciation of the student body for the work of its athletic heroes can be made, we feel. than the dedication of this Championship Number of Caerulea, with its pictures and write-ups of the memorable year 1919- 1920, and with its stories and poems, representing the best of our literary effort, to those championship teams of Long Beach Polytechnic. We have inst brought to a close the tirst normai year of high school since the class of 1917 was graduated. The class of 1920 has tinished its four yearsi career. It has been a full period, crammed with events and happenings which will forever be remembered. Per- haps the early years have not been a series of glad memories to all. but the incentive in looking forward to the iinal year and graduation has been predominant. And so here on the verge of the milestone in out: careers, we must change our incentive to something higher. Success is the ulti- mate desire of all, but there are slippery rungs on the ladder leading to it. We have realized this on the few we have already encountered. Hard Work and perseverance will win. Once at the pinnacle of life, We may realize the truth of that memorable mottoe- Nothing great is lightly won . To the old school, iT3oocil::3.re ; to the world, Hello -for twenty is on its way. EDITORIALS 183 A new year is awaiting the starterts gun or the President's Gavel or some such signal, and a new crew is about to get on the boat . It may be wise to inform said crew that student support of activities means more than season tickets and bleacher warming. Audiences are easy to get; good performers are scarce. Holler if you want the spot-Iight. It is manifestly unfair to ask a person to let one, or two, or three contributions represent all of his ability as a. writer; that would be like taking one olive irom a dinner and giving it to someone, saying, Here is the dinner that So-and-So served last night. This Champ- ionship number of Caeruiea contains but a few of the many contribu- tions of certain students simply as a means of dividing, more or less equally, the work, not in any way attempting to get the entirety of one person's ability squeeied into a few printed lines. Caerulea takes off its hat with real respect to that body of teach- ers, which, through a period of dissension and waning salaries, has continued to give its best effortg to an unappreciative student body. Caerulea is the book of memories. It should be preserved as the one lasting reminder of school days. 11 is the students' record of the year. There is a section set aside for autographs which is one of the most valuable features of the book. Your success in Iii: is deter- mined largely by your friendships. These autographs are an indeli- ble record of your friends and in iuture years your Caerulea will be- come one of your priceless possessions. Perhaps the most outstanding need of this school is a new yell sys- tem. Many of our yells are the common property of the maiority of the other Southern California schools, ierkwater and otherwise.
