' a1aFA1RmsfMmAQEmB1aaRs?f1T Last night I heard the fairies dancing very soft outside, I heard them making merry on my porch roof low and wide. In maddened ecstasy they whirled and spun around and round, And trooped in gay procession past my window to the ground. Their laughter low I caught within the breeze's whimsied lay And listened to their chatter faint, like music far away. The measured, gentle tapping of their dainty, slippered feet Made me very drowsy, and I fell in slumber sweet. The morning came, I rose in haste to greet the merry host- They'd gone! But lo! The grass was strewn with diamonds they had lost! gl l l lll l l lll l l l l ll fl lllll l ll lil l lll ll hll lll lllfll l l l ll l lq C , ,K U v v v vvUvuvVvwvvv !??,v .JN out-cgi? -' 'm' w WsP,x Ml P Q R11 J Q rv A 'gl Q Q 5 1 ga AS 34 DIUIIIUIIIUIIIUIIIUIIIUIIIUIIIUIUUI IUIIIUIIIUIIIUIHUlllulllulllUIIIUIIIUIIIUIIIUIIIU U s lllullullllialnlfafallli.lg - 5 l I ll l 1 I ' - ,.'

QQ l0f5'5?5rr?.f sfffbi' I T was the day of the great sacrifice-the greatest made in many a moon, for the life of the chief's beautiful daughter was to be given to the Rain God. All day long the tribes had assembled from far and near. And all day long Chief Brave Heart sat sorrowfully alone with bowed head. He neither ate nor drank, and raised his head only to look at the sun in the heavens. At sundown, Silver Star, his daughter, his dead mate's child, was to be sacrihced. Since her mother's death she was his all, but to sacrifice her was his duty. The sun had risen and set many times since the Great Father had given his people rain, and they were dying of hunger and thirst. He well knew that the God of Rain was angry with his people. At last he stirred, rose, and turned his face toward the settingfsun. No emotion shone in his eyes as he strode toward the center of the small village where the scene of the sacrifice was laid. Here he found his daughter already dressed in the sacrifice garment. The dress she wore was made of dried skins. It was beaded around the bottom in many colors representing a rainbow, and across the girl's breast was designed in beads a large sun setting behind the hills. The large sun was blood red in color. Silver Star stood waiting, beautiful in her pallor, her little head held erect. It was quickly seen that she had her father's Indian bravery as well as her mother's Spanish pride and beauty. Never had such a spell been cast over the tribe. Everyone was crowded around the scene of the sacrifice, but not a word passed one's lips. The squaws huddled together, mute pain in their eyes, and the braves stared stonily in front of them. These people had greatly suffered from the lack of rain. A circle of men surrounded Silver Star and the chief. One was not of the tribe, however. He was an old white man, the only one in the West, and he had taken his place among the Indians. This old missionary was looking on in despair. Vainly he had tried to dissuade the Indians from offering life in sacrifice, but their superstition overcame their personal, hu' mane feelings. The sun sank lower and lower. All eyes were turned toward the sun. Chief Brave Heart Hrmly lifted his unresisting daughter, and laid her on the ground placing her head upon a stone altar. Then with closed eyes, the maiden awaited the sun's disappearance behind the hills. Never before nor since had the tribe seen such a setting. Instead of going down naturally behind the hills, the sun was suddenly covered by a dark cloud. It grew dark, yet darker, until all the world seemed dense with blackness. And then large drops of water began to fall. Suddenly the hoarse cries from the parched throats of the people were heard saying, It is pleasing the Rain God. It is pleasing the Rain God. The sacrifice- quick! The medicine man stepped into the circle and raised his hatchet above the head of Silver Star, but the hatchet was held suspended. At that moment all eyes were caught by a streak of light illuminating the sky for a second, followed by a rumbling noise in the distance. At intervals it continued to thunder. The people were terrified. Never before had this western tribe heard thunder nor seen lightning. They cowered, and would have run away had not their knees trembled under them. But the old white missionary quieted them by shouting, Peace, do not fear! Have I not told you that your God of Rain is also the God of Love? He is telling you by his anger that he will have none of your life sacrifice. Go home, and take your Chief's brave daughter with you, and never, never offer your God life blood again.

I really should have chosen some other subject because I can't understand girls at all. QI sometimes think that they can't understand themselves., If I had chosen to write about boys, for instance, I should have an easier time of it. I am a boy myself, and I can study myself and other boys without embarrassment, but when I try to study girls-whew! Why, just writing about them makes my pen stutter with embarrassment. Supf pose I see a girl doing something that interests me, and I watch her. just as my stare becomes most intent, she seems to realize that someone is watch' ing her and looks straight at me and catches me staring at her. Most disconcerting! I feel the blood surge toward my head, my collar shrinks amazingly, and I experience that familiar, choky contraction of the throat that makes speech impossible. And what does the girl do? She smiles, or laughs, or sniffs, wriggles her nose, and turns disdainfully away. If she turns away, I am greatly relieved, but if she smiles, I am more embarrassed than ever. When I read about girls' Miner natures , 'Lshyness , frailty , QDid a girl ever slap you?j delicate sense of humor , romantic spirit , thoughtless coquetryv, QI always confuse that word with the words mean' ing onefneedle knitting or ish cakesl and their other fine attributes, I am overwhelmed. I am puzzled by countless questions. I recall an incident which occurred when I was a freshman at high school. A number of us had been rehearsing an operetta after school hours. Just as we were about to leave, I swiped a girl's pencil fas boys sometimes doj, and she immediately began to struggle to get it back Cas 4 16 CAERULEA '25 IIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllHlllllHllllllllllllllIIIllIHIllIIlIIlllllllIlllIlIllllllIIIlIIIllIllllIlIIllIIIIIllllIllIIllIlIIIlIllllIllllIlIlllIIIIlIlllllIIHIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllli girls sometimes dol. We scuffled for the pencil for about ten minutes, finally stopping when the pencil broke and we each retained a part. The question is, Why did we both want that pencil? It wasn't worth a nickel. I have finally decided that it was not the pencil that I wanted, but rather I wanted to struggle with the girl. I liked to scuffle with her. But when I try to determine what the girl wanted, I am hopelessly be' wildered: Did she want the pencil, or did she too like to wrestle for it? Gee! Girls are hard to understand. How does a girl feel when she comes to school for the first time with paint and powder on her face? Does she experience any feeling akin to that which a boy feels when he appears for the first time in public in long pants? Does a girl put on the first bit of lipstick or paint in secret, just as the boy steals away for his first shave? These questions are most puzzling! When a girl starts to curl her hair, to curve her fingers gently, and to half close her eyes when she smiles so that the Boy will notice her, does she have the same emotions that a boy has when he first begins to be particf ular about his clothes and the appearance of his hair and hands so that She will notice him? I was standing beside an old man one day when a flapper passed us. She was richly dressed but well exposed, she walked with a kind of loping sway which is popular with some women. The old man looked up at me quizzically and drawled, Well, I don't know, but it seems to me that there's an awful lot of lost motion there! And he pulled his nose and chuckled while I laughed outright. I believe that I had better stop thinking about girls, for the more I ponder about them, the less I am sure that I know. There is always some new question. ,lust now the thought occurred to me, Is that peculiar, asfyetfunfnamedfmotion fwobble, boys call itj of the hips that some girls affect in any way related to a boyish swagger?', Are boys and girls alike in any way? I wonder and I laugh. N IIIIIII II IIIII II III I I I I III! I ll IIIIKIIIIIIIIIIIIIISIZ AMERICANISM E are Americans! It means a great deal to be an American. There are privileges, duties, rights, and responsibilities in Americanism. From the time the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, our nation has been a nation of progress, justice, and charity. Though there may be some blots on its record, looking back over the history of our country, we find very many things to be proud of which America and Americans have done. When we read of the times America has helped a smaller country in distress or sent food and clothing to a destitute people, we are glad that America is our country. When we think of the community hospitals, the organizations for the assistance of needy persons, the homes for the orphaned and the aged that Americans have founded, we are proud again to be Americans. Our police and fire protection, our opportunities for education, our lighted streets, civic buildings, parks, and greatest of all, the right to a part in choosing our rulers and making our laws are privileges which in some other countries we should not enjoy. Yet, how seldom we think of these things if we think of them at all. How much do we under' stand about the wonderful machine which is our government? How many of us knew anything about the candidates in the last presidential election? Some of us probably do not know even our national anthem. Soon we shall be voters! Do we ever think that every privilege brings a responsibility? Do we remember that soon all the burdens of the government will rest on us and that we must be prepared to keep our nation one of which our descendants may be proud as we have taken pride in it? Each one of us must do his part to keep our nation the best on earth, for, as Kipling said: It ain't the individual Nor the army as a whole, But the everlasting teamfwork Of every bloomin' soul. Have we prepared for it by doing our part in high school? Did we take part in any school activities? Were we at games, and debates, and did we attend assemblies, concerts, and plays given by the studentfbody? When there was a call to assist in some way, did we answer it? Did we vote-and vote for a competent candidate? Have we obeyed school rules? Were we careful not to destroy or deface school property? And, most important of all, did we do our very best to make ourselves 'worthy American citizens? To be a strong, progressive nation America must have loyal, responsible citizens. Our Americanism can best find expression in sion in doing our best to become such citizens.-Helen Webster AANA A AAA ll L0 xfisiapgma I a!SW175E.f'31oA A A A W A A A A fiweq 5 if ii If I r S 9 43 'Lens 'ms l---J' ' 'Q-gt-:ggi ' vi l ww. .x 4 it t ' J-ifllll 0 Q Q xx F I was mi 5,61 xwguw mln 0- M Q it we MAA 'Pggw ,...-1 ir, l l i q,Lf2, E-ml-3 L Rilnlggf 7 I- - .,. 214-Qigkggvhfhia fm I'MHhlIlII IHI MIN I aUdll'ImllWl1il sl IW 1UIHll'ill'lllIH I IIIIIWH ll s iz. ,Q A m NZ' 0 0 ., 9 D A'-' ft? tsl 1 '.g .

And the lovely air and the sky Make my breath come fast, and my soul soar high, And my heart sing, and sing, and sing until it nigh Bursts with joy. Oh, it's spring, and it's spring, and it's spring again! And the flowers are all about, And the little birds sing on the budding boughs Till the air rings and rings and their trilling throats near Burst with joy. Oh, it's spring, and it's spring, and it's spring again! And the world is wonderfully glad! The sky is blue, and the ocean is, too, And I'm king, I'm king, I am king of everything I survey! A AI i HE sun, as it lowered in the west, cast a soft, mellow glow through the dustfcovered attic windows of the quaint old house of Rosslyn Hall. It made a golden circle around a slender, darkfhaired girl as she stood in the center of the musty attic dreamily regarding the queer boxes and clumsy, oldffashioned furniture. For a moment the girl glanced about the room, then she slowly knelt before a massive, walnut chest. As she threw open the cover, a faint, sweet odor of lavender floated upward, and her blue eyes sparkled with excite' ment as she looked within. With a quick movement she reached forward and drew out a gown so graceful and so fragile that it seemed as if only an angel could have created a thing so rare. Wonderingly the girl stood up and gently shook the cloud of silverfgrey and blue. As she did so, a tiny cap of silver lace fell to the floor. Suddenly a look of mischief replaced the one of excitement in her blue eyes, and the girl twisted and turned until the gown fell into place over her slim shoulders. Again she dropped to her knees before the walnut chest, which this time yielded a pair of small silver slippers to help the gown and the saucily arranged cap transform this TwentiethfCentury maiden into an Eighteenthfflentury lady. Carefully gathering up the voluminous folds of the skirt, the spirited Emmy Lou, for that was her name, ran down the attic stairs as fast as the gown would permit. She paused at the top of the great stairs leading to the parlor, which had been dignified in byfgone days by the presence of many a Colonial gentleman and lady. Here at the landing a look at a large mirror caused her to gaze spellbound and gasp, Can this really be I? Then she began to step daintily down the carpeted stairs, while the .,,, -, ,, ,V .x . . ,. ., . ., ',-- --it-.42-. 1,1 if f.w1,e-I-. I., c . ... 1' QV H :SE 'Shift 1?-.it-2.

At the foot of the stairs Emmy Lou seated herself and looked up at a large, almost lifefsize portrait of a young man in splendid Colonial dress. The picture, conceded to be a true work of a master, had held its place over the mantel since the days of the Revolution. As she looked, a soft breeze, laden with the odor of apple blossoms, came in through the open door, and the girl fancied that she saw the lace on the young man's cuff stir gently. Like the caress of a fairy, the breeze touched Emmy Lou's cheek. The small, dark head rested on the back of the chair and the blue eyes closed peacefully until the breeze was gone. Of a sudden, opening her eyes to the sunlight again, this surprising lady in her dainty gown stared silently as the handsome young man stepped down from his picture and stood bow' ing before her. Seating himself opposite the greyfblue gown, the young man spoke softly, This is indeed a pleasure. I haven't seen that gown since Mistress Janet Rosslyn bade goodfbye to Washington and our company just before I was killed in battle. How well I remember how she looked that day as she waved goodbye. I loved her and might have won her but for my ill uckf' For a few seconds the grey eyes of the young gallant took on a far' away look, then he continued, But I'll not grudge the bit I gave to America. See that chair by yonder window? 'Twas there that General Washington himself sat when he said, 'So I am the Fox? Well, we shall see whether the Fox outwits the Hunterf But come, this is idle talk. 3 22 CAERULEA 25 llllllllllllllllIHIllIllllIllllllllIIIllllIIIIIIIllllIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIlIllllllIIIIIIIHI,lllIIIIIIlIIIIIIHIIllllllllIlIIIIIIIllIIllIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllIlllIIIllIHIIIIIlIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllll Rising suddenly, the handsome fellow bowed again before Emmy Lou and inquired, May I have the pleasure of one dance with thee before l o? g The girl rose and the graceful couple swung into the dance. Never before had the minuet been more charmingly done than by these two young people as the wind in the pines outside rustled an accompanying strain of music. At the conclusion of the dance the young man escorted the demure maiden to her chair and spoke: For the sake of the lady who first wore this gown, keep this little gift as a token of my visit. He dropped into her small, white hand a brooch of wonderful design and beauty. The pines rustled suddenly and the young man was gone. The girl looked up at the portrait above her just as the handsome soldier settled himself for another long wait over the mantel. The young lady stirred and glanced at something she held clasped in her hand. It was the brooch. Now, had Emmy Lou been asleep that lazy spring day, or had a spirit been awakened by the sight of a TwentiethfCentury maiden in an Eightf eenthfCentury gown. THE DREAM SEA Robert Armistead I meet her every night on the shore of the Sea, The Sea of Shifting Dreams. And together, hand in hand, over the dancing waves We sail, laughing and carefree as the birds. Into this fairy cove and around that mysterious cape Until we have sailed the magic Sea o'er. I meet her every night on Dream Sea's shore And sail the whole night through, but the first Rosy tint of dawn calls us back to harbor Before the glaring Day shall catch us And capsize our Dream Boat. I -,, Su ' ...A..., .......,.... .slllll STOOD in a long line of men that wound from the porch of the quarf termaster's storehouse, around several trees, to where I was standing by a messfhall. When I say that the line was of men, I flatter myself. It was of boys of my own age. The men in this line were there for only one reason: they had to be. Early that morning a glib gentleman had come around and persuaded us to check our civilian clothes until the end of camp, when they were to be returned, cleaned, and pressed for the consideration .of a dollar. After an hour's work this individual decamped with half of the battalion's clothes. My suit went with him wherever he went, and hence, I was standing in line in my shoes, socks, B. V. D.'s, and hat, and I wasn't the only one either. The line moved. It took me several minutes to find out, but I finally became convinced that it really did. Every time that I saw a man take a step on the porch I knew that I was one step farther from pneumonia and one step nearer a civilized state of being. Byfandfby, in fact a great many byfandfbys, I arrived somewhere near the head of the line. Before I had time really to observe the situation, some one shoved a piece of paper into my hand and told me to write my name in full upon it. Thusly coached, I inscribed in my best hand, Anson I. Arguef' A short time later, as I reached the head of the line, a burly sergeant took the slip from my hand and yelled, Argue, Anson I was just wondering about the sudden notoriety caused by the reading of my name, when someone-a different someone this time-gruffly com' mented Asleep? I shook my head. Step over here then. Being willing to oblige at all times, I stepped smartly over, not at all conscious of the fact that I had held the line up for a matter of a second. The gentleman in overalls who had beckoned to me along with his curt remark whipped a tape measure around me in various latitudes. Ask' ing me the size of my shoes, my collar, and my hat, he expounded this startling information, 7, 32, 36, 15, 7V4. Came an answer from across the veranda, 7, 32, 36, 15, Check, bellowed my tormentor. I was on the point of telling him that I had no checking account and would be unable to tender a check, when he shoved me into a large room opening' off the porch. One corner of this room was separated from the rest by a counter. Back of this counter, piled high, were great quantities of khaki clothing. A few men were laboring with bundles which they eventually carried to the counter, howling as they came upon strange names. 1 wb . 1 , I J?

No attempt was made to please the customers. Say, you ought to have seen the breeches they handed me! The company fatfboy and I traded and each of us had a good fit for the other. But let's get back to the story-I have to get the pants before I can trade them. Soon my name blared forth. I hurried, forcing my way through to the counter. Watch me, instructed the clerk as I reached the counter, and began laying out clothing, calling each part by name, and marking it off on a slip. Is that right? he questioned as he finished. HQ. K. , I affirmed briskly. Check, he muttered to himself, and then aloud to me, Sign here. With my bundle under my arm I struggled back to my tent. Quickly I donned the long desired clothing. But I found a 'moment later, to my disgust, that I had no leggings. My heart boiled within me to ind that I still had some more stray clothes to chase down, after that tediously long line, those humiliating questions, and that long walk back to my tent under that cumbersome bundle. I've got to have leggin's, I reasoned. 'Tm going to make a kick and get them. I bustled down to the orderly tent. I ain't got any putteesf' I blurted to the innocent orderly sergeant. No puttees? he asked. Yes, no puttees, I afhrmed. Well, tain't none o' my businessfl and with a shrug of his shoulders he turned and went inside the tent. I stood for a minute stunned by this reply. Then sticking my head inside the tent, I asked, Where will I get them? That's your business, not mine, came the growling return. Well, maybe it is, I thought. L'I'll find out if I have to pester the whole company. Darn the whole business! Conquering this momentary wave of rebellion, I assailed a nonfoom. It happened to be our supplyfcorporal. Where can I get some puttees? I-Ie looked me over casually. Got your barracksfbag yet? No, I acknowledged. 'Come down here, then, he said, leading the way to a messfhall. The messfhall, at present, was used to store barracksfbags pending their issue to the students. The corporal stepped inside and dropped behind a desk. LITERAQEIIIIIIIII l I I lllllllllll IIIIIIIHIIE3 What's your name? Argue, Anson ,l., I informed him. The corporal flashed a smile of approval and promptly issued me the best bag he could pick out. You'll find your puttees inside. Bost, he continued, addressing sjomeone at the other end of the hall, put down Argue, one barrack' ag. Argue, one barrackfbagf' repeated the person addressed as Bost. Check, said the corporal automatically. Taking my new incumbrance, I shouldered it up the company street. As I passed the orderly tent again, I saw a line forming. The men in this line seemed pleased and eager. What's the line for? I demanded of one. Rifles Better hurry if you want one today. I hurried, indeed I ran to my tent. Taking the barracksfbag by the bottom I dumped the contents out on the floor. Hastily I fumbled for the puttees, and with slight regard for looks, I donned them. In a trice I was at the end of the line, waiting for a rifle. I won't bother with a long tale about a long line. Let it suffice to say that I reached the head in due time. As before, I handed a slip to a soldier at the door, who introduced me by reading from it, Argue, Anson J. I stepped smartly into the room. A figure, bending over a box, straightened to hand me a rifle, generously daubed in grease. U, S. Army magazine rifle, calibre 30, model 1903, he droned. U, S. Army magazine rifle, calibre 30, model 1903, came the monot- onous answer. One bayonet, scabbard, and belt, droned the first. One bayonet, scabbard, and belt, came the echo. Check, said the first, and I was ushered out with my hands full of my newly acquired artillery. Arriving at my canvas domicile, I dumped the armament on the floor and proceeded to wipe cosmoline, the substance, very greasy, with which my rifle had been coated, off of my hands. A boy who had been sitting on a bunk in the back of the tent, unnoticed by me, came forward and offered his hand. I guess we're tentfmatesf' he said. My name's Brown. 'Tm Argue, Anson I. I returned cordially. You mean, Anson Argue? he queried. Check, I affirmed. Shakef' P A ,W glgmiy DOBCOEIHEIYQ NAIQISDON f . TIME: Present CHARACTERS: McMann Cook Gardiner Allison SCENE: The scene is the interior of a rude log cabin on the plains of Argentine. Only the bare necessities are in evidence. The room shows that it has been a home with a cosy, open firefplace. Now everything speaks of neglect. A spirit of loneliness hovers over the place. The fire blazes feebly in the grate. Over it is huddled a solitary figure. As the curtain rises, McMann is seen bowed over, his head in his hands. There is utter silence for several moments, during which he remains motionless. A rap is heard at the door. He sighs and rouses himself, but before he can rise the door is opened and Cook comes in, dropping his bundle in a corner. Cook: fwarming his hands at the firej Lord, what a night! The wind from the hills is devilish cold. Thank Cod, I'm leaving this place. Came to tell you 'adios', old chap. McMann: Quitting the plains for good? Cook: Yes. Can't endure it. Nothing to see. Nobody to talk bo. This past year out here has been hard as hell for me. Don't see how you've stood it here so long. McMann: Five years tomorrow that I first staked here. Cook: Five years! Lord, I like your grit. Five years of herding on these plains. Not a soul within ninety miles till I landed here, and now that I'm leaving, you won't see a man till spring when you go down to fetch grub and more gritters, though goodness knows what you're figuring on doing with them all. McMann: fdisconsolatelyj So you're trekking tonight. Well- you never were much for these plains. So it's all for the best, I suppose. The place will seem kind of lonesome without you, old chap.

It's this eternal silence that's gotten on your brain. Better sell out and cofme with me before it's too late . McMann: No. Cook: Oh, for Cod's sake, be reasonable, Mac. This hovel and a few hundred head is no excuse for your burying yourself here. I'11 lay over a few days to give you time to sell out. You can't go on like this forever. C'mon old man. I'm dying to get among humanity again. McMann: No. Cook: Oh hang it all! Why not? McMann: Oh, Steve, I can't go home, my father thinks I'm dead! I may have been a fool, but I wouldn't be so low as to bring dishonor to Dad or break his heart because his son, because I Qhe breaks off and pauses for breathj. When Uncle Sam declared war, I was afire with enthusiasm and was eager to reach the front. I went over with the very Hrst ship' load of American soldiers. We were rushed right into the firing lines. My very Hrst night I was put on as sentinel and out there under the stars by myself, with fighting going on over on the West Front, bombs ex' ploding in midfair and showering everything with deadly fire, with the roar of machinefguns in 'my ears, the breeze blowing to my nostrils the stifling odor of gunfpowder, of burning fragments, of charred bodies, there came over me a horrible feeling. I tried to shake it off, but it haunted me constantly. I had to kill! Ch Cod! I had to murder my fellowfmen! All my hatred, all my enthusiasm had vanished. They were like brothers to me. iMac jumps frenziedly to his feetj I had been sent over by America, our U. S., to take human life, to help mow down men like cattle! I, with my own hands, would do things that would separate families forever. I would cause mothers to weep and wives to cry out in frenzied agony for their husbands. I would have to crush out life that the Almighty God had intended for some purpose. Those men were like brothers to me. I could not kill my father, and I could not kill them! When we charged the foe that night, I deserted. iMac drops exhausted into a chairj I could not go home and partake of the blessings of my country when I 7 28 CAERULEA 25 IIIIIIIlllllIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllIlIllllIlllIllIIIlllIKllllIIlllIllllIIIlllllIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIlIIIIIllIlllIllIIIlIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIlllIIllIlIllllHIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIllllllIIIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllll had deserted her in her hour of need. So I changed my name and came here, not to forget, for that could never be, but merely to live out my life. If there is any mercy, any commiseration in heaven, it will not be long now. fThe fire has burned low. Both men are silent and gaze fixedly into the dying embers. Neither is aware of the sounds outside until there comes a rap at the door.j Cook jumps to his feet and opens it. Two middlefaged men, blue and numb from the cold, enterj Allison: Whew! Coldest night in years. Saw your light, so brought my comrade here, who's pretty much petered out by this cold, to see if we couldn't warm him up some. Mac: frousing himself from his lethargyj Of course we can. Glad to see you. It's not often that we see anybody out here. Allison: That's pretty decent -of you. We've driven for hours. Guess we took the wrong road there in the mountains somewhere. We were in such a hurry to get back to Buenos Aires tonight. fMac replenishes the fire and makes the coffee while Cook eagerly questions the visitorsj Cook: Mac, here, and I are starved for news of the world. I'Iaven't seen a soul for six months. Who was elected President? Last I heard La Follette was going over big. Allison: Yes? Well, Cal won by a huge majority, which shows that most Americans don't go in for radicalism. Cook: Radicalism? Why man, La Follette is not radical, he's prof gressive. But we can argue later. I'Iow's foreign relations? Allison: Pretty much settled down. Gardiner: Qwho has revived with the warmthj Lord knows, they ought to be after the last war killing off a fourth of our civilization. Allison: Yes, my friend here, Mr. Gardiner- fMac jumps to his feet, his face pale as death, Cook: What's the matter, Mac? Mac: Ch nothing, that confounded coyote out there startled me. fbut he scans his visitor's face intently, oblivious of Allison's wordsj Allison: Mr. Gardiner, who is our Consul to South America, is very bitter toward war. It took his only son. During this speech an expression of joyous recognition lights up Mac's thin face. He leans forward to grasp Gardiner's hand but is stopped by his words. Gardiner: Yes, it robbed me of the grandest boy that ever lived. At the irst call to arms he left, eager to sacifice his life for Old Glory. Oh the lonesome years since then! It's in his memory that I entered the I V ' IlllIIIIIIIIlIIIlIIIllIIIlllllllllllllllllIlIlIIIIIlllllllllllIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllliig consulshipg that in the future I can help prevent war by being a factor in the peaceful arbitration of our problems, to keep other fathers' hearts from breaking. I'm proud of my son, though. The newspapers were full of his heroism. He died at the head of his comrades, cheering them on to victory. fMac has sunk dejectedly into the depths of his chairj Allison: Come, come, Gardiner, I hate to interrupt your postmortem, but we've got to be traveling. Mac: frousing himself, You're going to Buenos Aires? Is there room for another in your car? Gardiner: To be sure. Yourself? Mac: No-my pard here is going that way.-fGood byes are said. Gardiner extends his hand, and Mac grips it firmly in both of his-They are gone. Mac huddles over the flickering flames. Dejected, sobbing, he cries outj-Dear old Dad-it would kill him, he must never know. A DREAM SHIP Hazel Valby Far out upon the combing seas I saw A dream ship, a fairy galleon. I stood upon a windfswept hill and longed To sail with it to the world's end, but, no- My task's unfinished. Oh ship, will you come again? MY BOOK HAVE never seen him, but I think he must be PREVIEWER rather a gouty old gentleman with huge, forbid' ding, heavy, darkfrirnmed spectacles, and a bristly little whiskbroom of a mustache. And I think the pet word in his swear' ing vocabulary is humph! This is conjecture, but there are things about him that I know: for instance, that he has a very cynical disposition, and that he is fond of appending explanatory footnotes to the books we read. I say we be' cause I am sure that either our literary tastes are very similiar, his and mine, or he has read and reviewed all the books there are, for I find his tracks in nearly every library book I read. I met him first in George Meredith's The Egoistf' In this particf ular copy he had painstakingly inserted a t in the word wherever he 30 CAERULEA '25 lllllIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIHIIVIIIV lllllllllllllllllllllll IIIIIlllllllllllllIllllllllllI llllllllllll II IlllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIH found it. Whether he believed it to be a typographical error, or a technical misapprehension -of Meredith's, I do not know, but Sir Willoughby be' came, to my old friend, and probably to many others after him, an egotist instead of an egoist. He gives me reason to believe that he is either married or unmarried, for he has called attention to these words in a volume of Bacon's essays: Wife and children are impediments to great enterprises, and The or' dinary cause of a single life is liberty. These words he has underlined most emphatically. In the first paragraph of a translation of the Qdyssey he has inserted a marginal note to the effect that the interpretation is very poor, and he confidentially urges the reader to resort to the original Greek. A certain collection of short stories he has subjected to a very characf teristic transcription, labelling those stories which pass his censorship and likewise those that have failed to meet with his approval. These he has condemned summarily as illogical , sentimental , or exaggerated Markheim, in particular, he explains, is altogether improbable both in development and climax. I am inclined to believe that, besides being cynical, he is almost ag' gressively conservative. In the preface to Androcles and the Lion by Bernard Shaw, in which the author challenges some of the principles of Christianity, there is a very acid margin note by my ,old friend, in which he raps Mr. Shaw severely and advises the literary pilgrim that no good can come of reading such radical propaganda, indeed, so sure is he of its unwholesome effect, that he states he has never permitted himself to read it. I was reading the other day Emerson's essay on Manners , but I found no traces of him there. Leave us the word American-. Leave us the consolation and pride which the term American, however modified, still imparts. Take away that term and though you should coin in telling phrase your highest eulogy, we would hurl it back as common slander. -Senator William E.

U She had received no word that he was to come home that day, but, being his mother, she had known it from the first instant she had awakened at the dawn. The morning sunlight meant nothing to her, for she was blind, but the very birds in the apple tree outside her window were caroling the glad news to the heavens that he was coming tofday, and the faint fragrance of the apple blossoms breathed the joyous message into her heart. And so, as she faltered down the familiar path, she felt the first real happiness she had known since he had told her that he was going to war. She had never reconciled herself to the thought of giving him up-her boy- to this terrible business of slaughter and butchery that was war. She hated the Germans for making' it necessary, she hated the French for needing assistanceg she almost hated her own country for offering so freely -the life of her Gerry--her baby! The bitterness rose within her until she could no longer endure the calm sympathy of her friends with their well meant words of comfort. Attendance at church, which had been so great a part of her life, became a mockeryg so she had secluded herself, with only little Sadie Green to help with the work, from all her associates. No one could understand! Mrs. Grayson and Mrs. Roberts and Mrs. Matthews had spoken of sending their sons away courageously with a smile-but Gerry's mother knew that they couldn't have cared as she did. How could they? Their sons were just sons. And hers was-Gerry! She could remember how, in those days before her sight had gone, they 7 32 CAERULEA 25 IIlllllIIlIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIlIlllIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIHIIIKIIllIIIIIIIHIIlllIlIIIIIIIllIIIIIllIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIlIIllllIIIlllllllIlIIllIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllll had walked together down this same path, his little hand in hers. She could hear, across the years, his baby laughter as he gleefully chased the bright yellow butterflies that somehow always gathered 'round the place. That was like Gerry,-Gerry, who so loved warmth and color. She remembered, too, his happiness when at last she had put aside the dreary mourning she had worn for his soldier father: Daddy didn't like black, Mumsie. Why don't you wear a pretty color-like yellow? And she could recall the long, twilit, summer evenings when they would sit there together, his tousled curls resting against her breast, and she would sing Hark, Hark, the Lark until it was bedtime. Here, to the Shrine , as Gerry came to call it, they would come in those long days after her blindness, the catastrophe which neverthef less, failed to quench Gerry's cheery spirit. Hadn't he eyes good enough for both? Our velvet carpet is growing green, Dear, he would tell her. The lilacs are wearing fluffy twin dunce caps, and the robins have taken apart' ments in the peach tree yonder. So he saw for her. And she would smile happily and her fingers would toy with his soft curls. Cf course, he had brought her here to tell her that he had enlisted. Walking slowly down the path, his arm about her waist, his head bent to hers, he had whispered it in her ear. Mumsie, darlin', how would you like to see your child in khaki? From that moment she had begun to grow old. 'Twas the only decent thing to do, Dear, he replied to her hope' less protest. Why, I'll be back in a jiffy-before you realize I'm gone. And he had lifted her up in his arms and carried her to the Shrine, and they had said no more about it between themselves. But after he had gone, taking with him all the life and joy of the place, she had refused to see anyone, even her old friends, who tried to console her for her loss. None of them could understand about-her Gerry! She had sat alone and brooded and grown worn and old. Even the Shrine she had avoided, the Shrine, so fraught with memories un' bearably sweet. But tofday, somehow, she was sure that he was coming, and as she sat on the end of the little bench so dear to them both, she could almost hum a wee snatch of song to herself-almost, but not quite, for her throat was, somehow, well, a bit-choky. The gate clicked. A firm, masculine step came crunching down the walk. Instantly she was on her feet. Her faded, blinded eyes shone eagerly. Trembling, she stretched out her hungry hands. RARHIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIYIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllaar He was by her side. Her groping, feeling fingers touched him, his face, his hair,-drew him passionately to her. She was enveloped in his strong arms. Gerry! Oh-Gerry! her voice was saying, as from a great distance. Tears of joy spilled from her sightless eyes. As she sank down upon the seat, he fell upon his knees beside her, his head bent reverently over the little hand that he held so tightly. Gerry's mother, one hand buried in his clustering curls, lifted a glorf ihed, tearfwashed face to the sunshine. Then, Mrs Lester,-God! How can I tell you! A voice-not Gerry's! Gerry's mother's hand fell limp. Go on, she whispered, Gerry is- He was killed in action. He asked me to come to you here-in case -it happened- Gerry's mother did not weep. She sat quite rigid, very pale and very quiet. After a moment of silence, she spoke. Did he leave-a message? Only this: 'Tell Mumsie to wear COLORS for me'. After the kind young man had gone, Gerry's mother walked back, slowly, haltingly, to the Shrine. She must have time to think-to think- to realize the thing that had happened to her. Her mind was numb. There was not even grief-yet. She had a curiously detached feeling. She sat quietly on the bench beneath the lilac tree, her hands lying in her lap. A mocking' bird near her head burst into a shower of golden song. She could hear the hum of honey bees among the fragrant lilacs. A petal of peach blossom fell softly upon her hand. She felt the murmur, the fragrance of Spring- This was like Gerry. Gerry and death were irreconcilable. Suddenly she realized that she was nearer her son now than she had ever been. She could feel almost happy. Gerry-Springtime-happiness- The next Sunday Gerry's mother went to church wearing a yellow voile dress. ' The highest patriotism demands that justice be done not only to the people of our own nation but to those of all nations. -Carrie Chapman Catt. CAER1ZkEni:..IE3 THE ET CHING Seth Felt Two quaint old figures o'er a game of chess, Eternally one's sad and one is gay. Absorbed heads dwell on the move next made, Though spectators are dead, their sons are gray. Still they exist, hung up against the wall, Though ink is bound to fade sometime in light. My Grandma treasures yet the queer old thing, But I would put it far away from sight. And I suppose when I am old and gray, And dream old dreams, and live the long ago, That I will have some queer, quaint thing like that, And weep when someone slurs the thing I know. TWILIGHT TERRORS Aimee Collins When the sun has gone down at the back of the trees, And a coldffingered wind is chasing the breeze, Uh, look where shadows lie long on the grass, In only a minute will all of them pass, Why, even this second a long, grey hand beckoned, They are there, everywhere on the half hidden grass. Oh, the silence is humming with halffwhispered things, And each throbbing sound a cold shudder brings. Oh, look in the corner quite close to the wall, How the palm trees are shaking and ready to fall, Even under the beeches the long terror reaches Oh, come now, anyhow, let's climb over the wall! LITERARY 32 P OP PIES YELLOW haze on the horizon, a flash of color be' neath a turquoise sky, an undulating mass of molten gold, a million poppies! We do not see many now' adays, for the thoughtless throngs have long since destroyed most of these fieldsg but many of my childhood memories are connected with just such meadows as these. In a field of gorgeous poppies, there were small poppies, and mediumfsized ones, scarlet ones, purple ones, and creamy ones, striped and spotted ones, and there were those that were scalloped and crinkly round the edges or smooth and satiny as to petals. Oh, there were any number of varieties of poppies. Then there was the Held of golden poppies which stretched away to the mountains on the North and mingled with the golden sunshine in the West. Both fields are gone now, crushed by the feet of men. I can also remember the snowy bush of Matilja poppies that bloomed in our front yard. In summer it was covered with huge, white flowers with orange centers. How lovely they were! And then there was the border of common yellow poppies, but to me they were just as beautiful as the rest. How I loved the feel of their shiny, smooth petals and the grace of their lacy leaves. These were playmates, as well, for many are the poppy dolls I've made and played with, Poppies were never made to put in a vase. They belong to the sunshine and air, and to me they are the spirit of happiness and of the great outfoffdoors. -Barbara Barnes END HE sun was slowly sinking in the west, bathing all OF DAY the world in wondrous glory. Its fast receding rays shone dimly upon a tumbledfdown shack nestled among the green hills. Upon the doorstep reclined an old negro mammy, softly crooning a plantation melody to the babe in her arms. By her side huddled a small boy, intently listening to the strains of a distant thrumming of banjos. Cn the far distant hillside a plowman could be seen making his weary way homeward, no doubt thinking of the cheery welcome awaiting him. The sun was fast disappearing from view as the mother leisurely arose and en' tered the cabin. The strumming of banjos ceased, the bleat of a lamb faintly came on the evening air, the sun disappeared behind the hilltop. All was quiet. Darkness reigned. -John Houser CITY PALMS Julia Birk Squat and dusty beneath the noonday glare, Limp amid the bufleting noise and heat, Pitiful exiles, as despondently They stand in rows along the city street. But night slips in, and subtly comes a change- No more my palm trees cringe but gently sway, And through their gleaming fronds a little wind Betakes its joyous, singing, aimless way. The moonlight drifts upon them its white spell, And lo! each palm looks to the stars and sings- A song' of farfoif isles and dreaming seas- Until the day its commonplaces brings. .I .. 1 num ' In gn 'in '. -Til , f 'ii 7 -. 325235.

The sermon to the class was given the preceding Sunday morning at the First Congregational Church by Dr. Henry Kendall Booth. The officers of the class were Louise Buxton, president, Gayle Brumf well, vicefpresident, lean Chamberlain, secretary, Harold Jenson, treasurer.

She attended school three and a half years, with one session of sumf mer school. According to teachers and students who know her, Esther has a Hne, clear mind, is not afraid of work, has a good sense of humor, and possesses initiative. Her school work was exact and accurate. Lest this sound like an epitaph, it should also be noted that Esther has a pleasant dis' position and likes a good time as well as any of P the other brilliant students in school. Most of her work was in the Commercial department. Mr. R. E. Cliver, head of that department said in speaking of her, Esther is a girl with a delightful per' sonality, a talent for hard and careful work, a willingness to take responsif bility, and is a good representative of Poly High. Second in the race tobe valedictorian was Helen Miller. Her averf age grade was 1.178. She had all her four years' work at Long Beach High School and has always been a member of the Scholarship, of which she has been secretary since last fall. She was also secretary of the midfyear class, and a member of the Commercial Club. Miss Preston, head of the English department, said in characterizing her, Helen Miller came to me from the Commercial department, in Sep' tember, 1924, to do my secretarial work. She has proved most helpful in every way to me and to the other teachers of the English department. She is charming in her personality and resourceful and accurate in her work. ESTHER JACOB SON Valedictorian The spirit of Americanism: Broadfminded, tolerant, friendly Ameri' canism with its love for the ideal and a kindly ear for those who disagree with usg a readiness to change even hardest opinions for better ones. --John Steven McGroarty 40 CAERVLE:?r...f.53 Ml2lCjl Jack Dillon, Max Durham, Garnette Rynearson. Ali-ce Frizzell Mrs. Hess. Mr. Brainard, Miss Symonds E, the sturdy pilgrims of the class of 1925, are about to close the the great book in which we have recorded the history of our four years' pilgrimage. We add the last words to the story of our adventures. We began our journey with a year of careful preparation and learning. We were busy sending out scouts and collecting equipment. The next year as sophomores, we began our real march. Leaders of the line of march for this year were Robert Armistead, presidentg Harold Wilson, vice' presidentg Maxine Elliott, secretary, and Barbara Schilling, treasurer. Though our trails had to be blazed and the journey was hazardous, we found our class spirit increased and our reputation established at the close of the year. During our junior conquest we were also led by Robert Armistead. Jack Dillon was our vicefpresidentg Garnet Rynearson had charge of the records and Maxine Elliott acted as treasurer. Our soldiers Won all inter' class track meets. We were well represented in all varsity teams. Our play for the year was Daddy Long Legs , in which Laura Ortman and Robert Armistead starred. Our final journey was made easy by our spirit of triumph and constant activity. We were more than five hundred strong. Our capable guide during the trip was Jack Dillon. Max Durham served as vicefpresidentg Garnet Rynearson recorded our achievements and Alice Frizzell had charge lllllllIllllIIIIllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIIHIIllIIllHIIlIIIHllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIllIIIllIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIllIIllIIIIIIIIlI!IHIlIIIIIIIlIIl IIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIlllIlllIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllll of our funds. Our followers led the membership in the Scholarship Society. Members of our division won laurels in debate. We were represented by nine men on the varsity football team. We also claim the cap' tain, Ray Hulen, as one of our volunteers. We were conspicuous in varsity basketball. Cut leader for the year, Jack Dillon, was captain of this team. Bunty Pulls the Stringsf' our class play, was a fitting climax to our dramatic activities. Robert Armistead, Esther Christensen, and Laura Crtman took the leading roles. It is with a feeling of pride that we close ,L l our great book. Yet we regret that our years mama GEHMAN of service to our school are over. Many of us Valeflicfofian will undertake new pilgrimages. Some will shoulder their guns again for another long and still more difficult oonquest in the Realm of Learning. RENE GEHMAN, with a perfect record of straight ones, became the valedictorian for the summer class of '25, Throughout one year in George Washington Iunior High and three years in high school, Irene has proved herself an extraordinary student, and all those who know her realize the complete thoroughness of all her work. Besides her studies she has been prominent in Welfare work of the Girls' League. Irene has majored in English and Spanish and expects to enter Pomona College next September. With an average grade of 1009, jane Wilder won the honor of salutatorian. Taking a College Preparatory course and maioring in Eng' lish and Social Science, jane has displayed remarkable qualities of scholarf ship. She has also been prominent in various outside activities. This year the task of deciding the scholarship honors was most diff ficult, as the class of 1925 boasted so many excellent students. Besides the two primary honor students, Constance Cehman, with an average of 1.0l7, Bonnie Pierce, with an average of 1.024, and Marie Wilder, with an average of 1.031, are all accorded high scholastic honors.

Miss Hall ITH a continuation of the fine spirit displayed in former years, juniors, decked in old rose and grey, began their upper classman journey. Everett Brown was chosen as leader, with Wilbur Stanley assistant. joe Campbell recorded the year's achievements, and LaVerne Anderson guarded the junior gold. Miss Platz, Miss Cronkhite, and Mr. Qliver served as class advisers. Princess Booth and Spurgeon Finney won renown for the class as victors in the juniorfsenior debate by a unanimous decision. Mr. Oliver coached the team. Juniors contributed a number of sturdy players to football. Al Fry, Al Maloney, Choppy Park, and Russell Painter were Varsity men. A1 Fry was chosen to have his name engraved on the cup as the team's most valuable player. Russell Painter is to be the captain next year. Theodore Halfhill captained the middleweight team. Wendell Doty broke Coast League Records in track. Dave Williams was a spirited yell leader. The junior girls proved to be fine swimmers. In the interclass swim' ming meet, they swam away with the championship. Betty Risdon def serves credit for her short dashes and diving. The class play, The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary , met with the approval of students and townspeople alike. It was a huge success finanf cially and cleared more than 5400. Velma Devins took the title role and played the part with great ability. IIIII WEKECCOE QIHCGWMKCQE E31 MSI E Clifford Meyer. Marjorie Hall, Mr. Mcfiay Miss Moore. Mrs. Barr RGANIZING the iirst time, the sophomores have actively particif pated in school affairs. Cliiford Meyer has presided at class meet' ings, Harold Coon has been the vicefpresidentg Marjorie Hall has been the recorder of deeds, and Ora Webb the treasurer. Green and white were chosen as class colors. An entirely new plan was executed in choosing advisers. One teacher representing each phase of class activity was selected to compose the group. Mr. McGay is chairman and represents debateg Miss Gee is girls' athletic adviser, Mr. Barker, boys' athleticsg Miss Hess has charge of assembliesg Miss Moore and Mrs. Barr are social chairmen, and Mr. Millar looks after financial matters. Debaters, Gregson Bautzer and George Shibley, defeated their fresh' men opponents with a unanimous decision. Out of a group of ine Poly speakers, Gregson Bautzer won first place in the local constitutional contest. Sophomore men did well in athletics. In interclass basketball both Class B and Class C men were successful in gaining the title. Girls were champions in interclass volleyball. Sophomore leaders in various activities, music, oratory, debate, athf letics, and student activities featured in the entertainment and stunts of a sophomore class party. Class colors were displayed in caps. CAERULEA '25 WEEKS MNQQTLUU ma Mr. Moore has been charac- terized as the muscles of the school, the one who keeps things running. Not so very long ago, he played good baseball out on our own back lot. After a sojourn at U. S. C. and various other places, he came back in an oflicial capac- ity. To some he means a dispenser of demerits, but to those who know him, he is a good sport and fine friend. To the little room in which Mrs. Anna Gilbert, Dean of Girls, pre- sides, come many problems, large and small. In the many years she has been here, she has won the good-will of the entire student body for her untiring services. A possessor of many qualities, she can dispense demerits and pour tea with equal grace. The master mind behind the red tape of the Registrar's Oflice, the guiding hand that holds the order- ly skeins of the finances of this school, the man who says whether or not we may have some thumb- t-acks, ice-cream, new football uni- forms, or whatever our present needs are, is Frank G. Reid, our financial genius. Verdant freshmen meet Miss Fox more than other students do because she is their guardian angel, the one steadfast thing in the hectic, turbulent registration days. Then sometimes a worried senior dashes into her quiet sanc- tum in the Main building a few days before graduation wondering where to go to college and what career to choose.

The 'most important attainment was the purchase of new sets and lighting fixtures for the stage. The student body store was also enlarged and improved. Through the efforts of Commissioner of Affairs, William Fennell, a large framed picture of George Washington was acquired and hung in the library. Other matters taken up were the recognition of cross country runners with minor L , the erection of a scoreboard on the football field, the adoption of a new design for football posters, the erection of speed signs in the rear courts and near the tennis courts, the creation of a pin display of the various clubs and organizations, establishment of a Sportsmanship Weekg and the adoption of emblems for the Boys' Glee Club. An attempt was made to establish an InterfClub Council, composed of representatives of Greekfletter societies. Through the efforts of Commissioner of Safety, Corey, an initial step was taken to establish an Interfleague Council, com' posed of representatives of the Student Body Governments of the Coast Leaglie for the purpose of discussing general conditions among the various schoo s.

Much time and care were expended on working out a point system for the awarding of L pins. Other achievements were the purchase of a set of song slides for rally assemblies, lights for the orchestra pit, and the acquisition of a stitching machine for the print shop. Through the splendid cofoperation of all the commissioners many interesting things have been accomplished. The InterfClub Council has been made a reality and the Coast League Council, which held its Hrst meeting in Long Beach, has become a powerful organization. Other im' portant matters were the designing of a Class C track and crossfcountry letter, the institution of a special installation ceremony at which new in' signias, distinctively for commissioners, are presented, the effective working of the hall patrol system, and extensive correspondence on such matters as the interfschool council, and the merit and point system.

To introduce new girls to the school, parties were given for them at the beginning of both semesters. Seventyffive girls were chosen to act as student advisers for them. Section representatives chose ofiicers, who were Wilma Dial, president, lla Biggs, secretaryftreasurer. For the first time in the history of the school, the personnel of the advisory board was changed at midfyear. A mammoth circus was given in the Boys' Gym April 24, to which the whole school was invited. Stunts, acrobatics, weird and grotesque side' shows provided the entertainment, which was a distinct departure from the usual League spring performance. Gfficers were Maxine Elliott, president, Charlotte Garlick, vicefpresi' dent, Lorraine Neel, corresponding secretary, Josephine Campbell, record' ing secretary, Coral Vanstrum, treasurer. Advisers of the executive board were Mrs. Anna Gilbert, Miss Violet Hess, and Miss Vinnie Gee.

Peppy assemblies, posters, and notices in the bulletin were used to attract the students' attention in the campaign, which was said to be the most successful in recent years. Because of confusion of the High School Chamber with the Junior Chamber of Commerce down town, the high school body changed its name to the High School Chamber of Commerce. A committee from the chamber with Ed Beebe as chairman cofoperated in putting over the Faculty Vaudville. A large chart bearing the names and offices of all school officers was posted in the main hall. Blue prints of the High School campus and buildings were posted in all buildings. A letterman's week was sponsored by the Chamber to promote the wearing of such awards and to increase the value of the letters in the minds of the students. A display of school letters in all sports was posted in the main hall. Oflicers -of the club were president, Spurgeon Finney, vice president, A1 Davis, secretary, Wilbur Stanley, treasurer, Jack Dillon, advisers, Mr. R. E. Oliver and Mr. I. N. Nutter.

Under the leadership of Charles F. Seymour the society, with assemblies, entertainments, and stu' dent body service, has concluded one of the most successful years of its existence. The Convention of the Student Branch was held during December at Pomona College. The convention was called to order by Alda Mills '24, President of the Student Branch. Long Beach sent a delegation to the Convention with Spurgeon Finney as spokesman. The traditional events of the year, the banquet and the boat ride, were both very successful. Barbara Parmley was toastmistress at the banquet at which Attorney Walter I. Desmond was the principal speaker. The boat ride was held in the 'middle of May. In addition to the wellfestablished activities of the society, an en' deavor has been made to perform acts of benent to the whole Student Body. With this idea in mind, the finance committee and the projects committee cofoperated in working out a plan for awarding annually a prize to the student of the school making the best mark of scholarship for the year. The society has endeavored to interest such organizations as the Elks, the College Women's Club and others in establishing a permanent scholarship trophy. If this were secured, the names of the school's best students would be engraved on the trophy. The society has also worked to secure for Long Beach a reel of the Woodrow Wilson films which would be presented by Poly to the new Woodrow Wilson High School as a token of perpetual friendship between the two schools. Officers and committee chairmen for the year were Howard Corey, president for the first semester and Barbara Parmley, president for the second semester, Josephine Campbell, vice president, Helen Miller, secref tary, and Henry Clock, treasurer, finance, Thomas Vasey and William IIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllIllllllIIIIIIIlIIHIIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIISBE 7 l Spurgeon Finney, Josephine Campbell, Ruth Gunther, Loraine Cates, VVilliam Fennell Fennell: scholarship, Lorraine Cates, projects, Spurgeon Finneyg entertain' ment, Josephine Campbellg and publicity, Ruth Gunther.

COSMOPOLITAN HE creed adopted by the Cosmopolitan CLUB Club is Nothing that is human is to me foreign . It embodies the ideal of the club, which is to acquaint the students of the school with all the countries of the world. The club has endeavored to foster a spirit of tolerant interf nationalism in all its discussions of various countries. Although some difficulty was experienced in reorganizing the club this fall, work has progressed well since then. Visits were exchanged be' tween the Hollywood High Sch-ool Club and the local Cosmopolites. Eleanor Pettes made a most comprehensive survey of all the foreign born students in school and also those whose parents were born abroad. Besides being a capable executive, William Fennell, president, made outlines of various speeches of international significance, which were given to club members at discussion meetings. Hazel Valby conducted an almost con' tinuous membership campaign. The Prince of Abyssinia was brought to school to speak to the students on the manners and customs of his country. Changes were made in the administration of the club. The advisory council was eliminated entirely and the executive board cut down to six members. A new office was created, that of treasurer's assistant. Member' ship cards were printed and a card index Hle of all members made. Two meetings a month were held, one a study meeting, at which varif ous countries were discussed, and the other a party held at the home of some member. PIEPQINIZATIONS 107 Active officers were president, William Fennellg vicefpresident, Hazel Valbyg recording secretary, Eleanor Pettesg corresponding secretary, Sylvia Dubinskyg treasurer, Henry Shiroyamag treasurer's assistant, Harold Bock.

Constant and un' tiring elfort on the part of the editors, adviser, and staff was necessary to bring this honor to Long Beach High School, and High Life deserves the colmmendation and support of the entire student body. The editor, Stanley Selover, set a new record by publishing High Life on the iirst day of school, thereby giving the students a great deal of useful information concerning registration. Thirtyfiive issues of the paper were published and several of these were special numbers. High Life also ran extra editions giving the results of the commission elections. During Girls' Week a special Girls' Edition was published by the femif nine portion of the staff. Miss Florence M. Carpenter was adviser for the paper and Mr. Rob' ert Lynn and Mr. Kendall managed the print shop. Stanley Selover was editor for the first semester and Henry Clock was editor during the second. Henry Clock and Margaret Selover filled the position of managing editor, Ralph Boyd, Lois Beatty, and Henry Whitney, the position of news editor.

A special feature has been the numerous badges, signs, pennants, and the like, made in the school colors, with which the loyal student may show his school spirit. Up to the first of April, sales amounted to 534,903.13 Of this, supplies furnished fB13,296.69, the fountain Sl1,864.59, and candy S10,741.85.

At the fountain the clerks dispensed about fifteen gallons of milk daily. Approximately 800 gallons of ice cream were sold each month. An average of twelve dozen note book fillers were sold a day. However, not all is work in this home of scholastic merchandise. Oc' casionally a student will saunter in and ask for Those little round holes . The clerk gasps, realizes that the poor unfortunate means cloth theme paper reinforcements, and complies with the request dazedly. And one day Velma Devins, she of the impulsive and generous heart, cheered the hearts of the Fountain of Goo habitues by offering to anyone who cared to lick it up, the icefcream which had dropped from her cone to the floor. Came another day and Al Gustus, erudite alumnus, strolled in and looked the place over and departed. The diversion caused by his appear' ance fluttered cofed hearts for a week. Al I-Iief1eld's tie, have you seen it? The first day it appeared, Ed Green saw it in the distance and rang a general fire alarm. To look at the student body, one wouldn't think it childish. Yet one week during the hot weather it reverted to type and bought 4,000 ice' cream cones. That's a fact, based on statistics. Once when a cub High Life reporter had just been put on the staff he worked out the number of peanuts the average student consumes daily.

ORGANIZATIONS I 1 1 3 MASQUE ROVING to be the biggest drawing card of the AND SANDAL year, Masque and Sandal has given further evidence of its popularity. The fact that a pay assembly was featuring the dramatic club seemed to be sufficient guarantee of a good program. Masque and Sandal generously contributed its services to school clubs who wished to raise money by means of pay assemblies. The plays pref sented were all well received. Masque and Sandal members occupied leading roles in both the class and Shaksperian plays as well as in minor presentations. Much of the credit for the success of the club is given to Miss Lillian V. Breed, the able coach and adviser. Ofhcers of the club for the first semester were Louise Buxton, presif dentg Velma Devins, vice president, Jessie Lois Deeble, secretary, Van Heflin, treasurer. During the second term the club was guided by William Miller, presif dent, Jessie Lois Deeble, vice president, Esther Christensen, secretary, Fred Mense, treasurer. Among the plays presented by Masque and Sandal were The Ex' change, Wurzel Flummery, The Romancers, 'Cp 0' Me Thumb, The Play' goers, Can You Imagine That? and Gods of the Mountain. Proving an incentive to work in dramatic interpretation and oral ex' pression, the membership of the club increased from nine to twentyfsix members. 114 CAERULEA '25 IIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHI IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIllIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIllIIIIllllIIllIIllIIllIXIIIIIIIIllIllllllllllllllllllllll BOYS' HE practice of appearing at all public presentations GLEE CLUB in uniform was adopted by the Boys' Glee Club for the first time this year.

QRGANIZATIONS 1 1 7 CHORUS RGANIZED for the first time in the history of the school, chorus has taken a step forward in the world of school activities. To further the interest of chorus music in the school is the purpose of the organization, which num' bers 225 students. A cantata, entitled L'Fair Ellen , by Max Bruch, was presented this spring, at which the chorus was assisted by the first school orchestra and two soloists fromLos Angeles. A series of concerts was offered to the student body every second Friday at seventh period, to which students in study halls and various classes were invited. Local artists assisted at these Hours of Music , as they were called. According to Miss Charlot Brecht, director of the chorus, the inf tention is to enlarge upon the idea next year and to establish a Concert Series. At one of these concerts Miss Pauline F. Farquhar played the concerto in B flat major by Bortkiewiez at the Knabe with Esther Wehman, an artist pupil of Abby De Avirett, at the second piano. The chorus was fortunate in presenting this exceptionally delightful program to the student body, not only because the artists were excellent but also because that was the first time the concerto was played in the West. Officers were president , Edward Sibley, vicefpresident, Argo Langdong director, Miss Charlot Brechtg accompanist, Miss Edith Wyant.

OggamggallglmgmgllllllllIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIITTI3 SECOND HE Second Orchestra is believed to be the largest ORCHESTRA high school orchestra in California. In addif tion, it is a fine organization musically and has played on many occasions to large and pleased audiences. It has a member' ship of ninety students who are accomplishing much and who are gaining much experience. The Orchestra was very kindly received when it played for the Teacher's Institute, for a series of one act plays, and for the Junior Play. The object of this orchestra is to give every student in the school who plays an instrument and who is not a member of the first, or advanced orchestra a chance to enjoy the advantages and improvement incident to ensemble playing. Next year many of these young musicians will be prof moted to the First Orchestra. The instrumentation is quite varied and includes the oboe, viola, French horn, string bass, full percussion, besides the usual instruments, the violin, cellos, flutes, clarinets, cornets, and tromf bones. The Orchestra gave a special concert for the seventh period classes and was enthusiastically received by everyone attending. The Second Orchestra is instructed, as is the First Orchestra, by Mr. George C. Moore, to whom is due much of the credit for the fine showing made by both organizations. 20 CAERULEA '25 IIIIIIllIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIEmyflIIlllIllIIIllIIllIIIIIlllIllIIIHIIIIIIllIIlllIIIIIllIlllIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIIIllIIIIIIIIlllIIIIllllIIIIlllIIlllllllllllllllllllllll ,R X13 ' .1 OWLS' TARTINC off with a ghostfstory party, at which the CLUB august members forgot their dignity and sat around on cushions in front of a fireplace , where they toasted their Hngers and marshmallows, munched apples, popcorn, and similiar edibles while Wilbert Catto told the most unearthly stories in sepulchral tones, the Cwls' Club has retrieved its reputation of being one of the liveliest clubs in school. Heated discussion concerning the relative merits of face and ant powder and the everlasting League of Nations featured later parties, which were given the third Monday of each month. Bruce Mason, city attorney, spoke at the annual banquet, which, conf trary to tradition was held in midfwinter instead of in the spring. Two other innovations were introduced. The affair was held at Lord and Taylor's, and elaborate decorations added to the festivity of the occasion. Feeling that the value received was not worth the effort of having a drive to raise funds to pay dues, the club withdrew early this fall from the Forum. Debating societies in Southern California high schools com- pose this organization. The membership is largely made up of Los Angeles and Pasadena clubs. For that reason meetings are usually held away from Long Beach, and attendance is difficult. Early in May Masque and Sandal put on an assembly, half the pro' ceeds of which was given to the Cwls' Club. This money helped to pay for a book containing copies of winning speeches delivered at interschool debates. Chief hooters were Phil Dixon, presidentg Wilbert Catto, vice' president, Princess Booth, secretary, Lois Beatty, treasurer. lllllllll IIHIIlllIIIIIIIllIllllllllIllllIllllllllllIllllllllllIHIIIIIIIIlllllllllIlllIlllllllllllllllIllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllmgllz JUNIOR RGANIZED purely as a study club and meeting at OWLS school at tenth period, the Junior Uwls have quite a different policy from the majority of school clubs here. Meetings are held every week on Thursday at which varied programs are given by the members. At one of these, subjects were started, after which participants were requested to pop up and impart all the knovvlf. edge possessed on the subject announced. Much merriment ensued at this affair, which was termed a Popcorn Meeting . That the members are versatile is evidenced by the fact that two onefact plays, Free Speech and The Pot Boiler , were put on extemporaneously one week. Debates, talks, and discussions featured other programs. A contest to see which member could suggest the best topic for debate was held with Reeve's Argumentation and Debate, a book about the art of debating, as first prize. At another meeting debates were given on Ref solved: That the President and Vicefpresident should be elected by popular vote. Another one was Resolved: That the government should operate Muscle Shoals. Still another was that the President and VicefPresident of the United States be elected for a term of six years. A contest to see which club member knew the longest list of famous debaters and their most famous topics, was held. Uflicers of this vvidefavvake club were president, Idella Siebeng vicef president, George Shibleyg secretary, Doris Henry, treasurer, Cevilla DeBloisg adviser, Mr. R. V. McKay, of the public speaking department. 122 CAERULEA '25 llllIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIllllHIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIllIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlII!IIIIIIIllIIllIIIIIIllIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEHIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllll THETA URINC the winter months the girls of the EPSILON CLUB Home Economics department formed what . is known as the Theta Epsilon Club. With a membership of Hfty students it has progressed till it is now one of the largest clubs in school. The objects are to form a connecting link between the home and the school, to train girls to be active and efficient leaders in school, home, and community life, to furnish an opportunity through organization for social life, to support school activities, and to promote good fellowship both in and between classes in home economics. The Hrst accomplishment was the sending of fifty dollars to support a Chinese girl in the study of home economics in the University of Pekin. Chocolate and sandwiches were served to the teams following a basketball game between Pasadena and Long Beach. Noon lunch was prepared and served by the girls to the Girls' Physical Education Departments of South' ern California on their annual Play Day. Numerous social affairs, such as a swimming party, followed by a supper, a skating party with a beach supper, and many teas were held. With the help of the advisers, Miss Elizabeth Moore and Miss Hazel Lumm, the club has been able to promote the interest of the members by having talks on Interior Decoration, Foods, Home Nursing, Clothing, Household Furnishings, and other phases of Home Management and Home Economics. The officers of the club are Clive Faber, president, Helen Musselman, vicefpresidentg Cliflie Rainwater, secretaryg and Lucille Shaw, treasurer. 0RGANIZATIOFSIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllIlllIlllllllllllllllIllllllllllIllllllIIIlllllllllllllllllIllllIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIllIIllIllllIllllllllIllllllllllllgllga l CHEMISTRY INNING the cup for the second time, the TEAM, 1924 victorious Long Beach team carried off first honors at the contest conducted by the American Chemistry Society at Southern Branch last May. The chemistry team was entertained after the contest at the Mary Louise Tea Room. As Dr. Morgan said when presenting the cup, the name of Long Beach is beginning to look like a frieze because of its being engraved on the cup so often. The contest has been given for thirteen years, Manual Arts winning the first cup. The school winning the cup the most times in ten years is allowed to keep it. Members of last year's team were Leland Brown, who placed first in the entire contest, thereby earning an associate membership in the American Chemical Society, Gerald Luhman, who placed second, Jack Levine, Ed Merwin, Thomas Vasey, and William Babcock, alternates. Mrs. Estelle Hunt coached the team and aided greatly in the success. CHEMISTRY ECAUSE the contest is held extremely late in the TEAM year the names of those on the 1925 chemistry team could not be printed. At the time Caerulea goes to press the following students are trying out for the team: George Gordon, James Hawes, Frances Lovell, George Liedhohm, Charles Skutt, Kendal Van Deventer, Marion Marshall, joseph Swartz, Wilbur Irwin, Boyer Voisard. From this list, the five best will be chosen to represent the school. 9 124 CAERULEA 25 IIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIlIIIllIIIIIIIIIIllllllllIlIllllIIIIIllllIIIllllllllIlIllllIlIlIlIIIllIllllllllllllIIIIIllIIllIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIllllllllllllllllllllllll FRENCH FTER a lapse of two years, the French Club has ref CLUB organized with an increased membership and a deff inite purpose.

The most important event on the club's calendar was the Roman banquet, held May first with 125 guests and 20 slaves in attendance, all in Roman costumes. It was truly classical from the taking of the auspices before the banquet, through the dances and poses of the Greek maidens, to the Roman triumph, the close of the continuous program. The year's work has been carried on under the direction of Miss Kimball, Miss Cronkhite, and Miss Rau.

AERO HE Aero Club of Poly High is a new and distinctive CLUB club, organized during the last semester for the purpose of studying the design, construction, maintainance, and operation of all types of aircraft. Since its establishment, the club has made very notable progress and taken several important steps toward making itself one of the best organizations in the school. The most im' portant step was the immediate formation of a loose affiliation with the Aero Club of Long Beach with the aim of aiding and assisting this organi' zation in every possible way. Several members are taking flying instruction, one member is making a plane, and another is completing plans for a glider. Later in the year, it is planned to divide the club into several divisions to study separately and more closely the design, construction, operation, and maintainance of aircraft. Next year, the club plans to extend its organif Zation into the junior high schools. Ofhcers elected at the first meeting were Frank Walton, president, Leroy Wolfred, vicefpresident, Leroy Crager, secretary, Ed Barret, treas' urer. Mr. E. Brainard acted as official adviser. RADIO RCADCASTINC the Inaugural Speech of President CLUB Coolidge to the entire student body was one of the ac' tivities in which the Radio Club cofoperated.

It is a very popular place at all periods of the day from the standpoint of students and teachers alike. From the time the doors are opened at 7:30 a. m. by Miss Helen B. Courtright, librarian, until she closes them at 4:30 p. m. throughout the school year and summer school term, the 15 0 seats are continually occupied by different students each period. During the middle of the day many students cannot be accommodated because of the limited seating capacity. Poly's library has 15,000 books on the shelves and subscribes to 160 magazines. Books for every department in school are to be found. The clipping file and picture file are useful supplements. An average circulation of 300 books and 5 0 magazines a day is Poly's record. The history and English departments are the most extensive users of the library. Miss Courtright's task is no light one, but with the aid of three assistants and nineteen students during the day, the Work of issuing books and magazines and replacing on the shelves those returned, proceeds smoothly and efficiently. Students, who receive valuable training in library methods, are on duty one period each day. Only two each period are allowed. They receive M, credit each for one semester. The assistants to Miss Courtright are Miss Edna E. Anderson, Miss Winnie Bucklin, and Mrs. Jessie R.

The real American, who is deeply imbued with the Spirit to which this Caerulea is reverently dedicated, goes quietly about his work of being a good American, observing the minor duties and conscientiously keeping in step with all our American ideals. To us in high school, studying our lessons thoroughly, living clean, honorable lives, so as to reflect credit upon our parents, through whose efforts we are permitted the privilege of attending old Poly, and upon our school and our nation, in every way our limited capacities permit, constif tute our quiet, yet sincere fufilling of the Spirit of Americanism. May we ever strive to be BETTER Americans! QUOTATICN with which most of us are familiar is, The pen is mightier than the sword . We believe that the written lines are but transcribed thoughts of the writer. So if you write good things, your thoughts must be on legitimate subjects, if your written thoughts are bad, they reveal the functioning of a poorly developed mind. In the process of signing Caeruleas keep this in mind. If you desire to be remembered as a person of intelligence and sincerity, write something worthy in your friend's book even if it be only your name. QLLOWING the dedication of this book, to the Spirit of Amerif canism, comes an appreciation of Miss Ruth J. Burdick, Art adviser of Caerulea, stage, Girls' League, and in fact nearly every activity which feels the need of art in its makefup. To those students who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Miss Burdick, her cheerful willingness, her ability, her talent, and her wonderful personality have endeared her. Therefore because of her influence upon, and intimate connection with the life of the school, we do gratefully appreciate her by printed word in this Caerulea of 1925 in an effort to recompense her in a small way for her work for us. lgmgffgmmgagllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllIIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIllIlllIIIIIIIllllllIIIIIIIIIIllllllIIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIII IiillllIIIIIllIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllmgg HE literary department of Caerulea held six contests this year: the essay, shortfstory, poetry, onefact play, sketch, and an entirely new feature, the editorial. Mildred Scott gained highest honors among the prize winners, holding first place in the sketch contest, and second in both the short story and the poetry. Her sketch, My Book Previewerw, was a clever imaginative description of the person we all know so well-the one who writes comments in the margins of his library books and under' lines the parts he especially likes. Her short story, The Shrine , was an intense, emotional story which was very well told. Efficiency , tied for second place among the poems. Helen Webster won first and second place in the editorial contest on the subject of Americanism , and Betty Risdon, third. Eleanor Titus received honorable mention. In the sketch contest Mary Crawford won second place with Silver Lace and Other Things , and Anson Argue third. James Harner and John Houser were awarded honorable mention. Dorothymae Risdon's Private McMann was a very dramatic play, and carried through well. Hazel Kuno received second place, Seth Felt held third and Leola Nice received honorable mention. Rain Fairies , by Grace Margaret Webster, was awarded first place in the poetry contest. It was a picture of rain at night and in the early morning. Eleanor Titus tied with Mildred Scott for second place. Julia Birk was third in the contest. Seth Felt, Hazel Valby, Robert Armistead, and Aimee Collins won honorable mention. Among the essays, Girls , by Norman Harrington was first. Girls revealed a boy's perplexity over the insolvable enigma-girls. Check, by Anson Argue was second, and On Little Boys by Louise Elliott third. Louise Elliott also received honorable mention. First prize in the short story contest went to Mildred Folmar for her At the Setting of the Sun . It is an Indian story, and is both inf teresting and unusual.

This plan was approved by the Student Body Commission during the first semester. The new board is solely responsible for debating activities, both interscholastic and interclass. The work of the Interscholastic Debate Manager Phil Dixon, and the Coaches, Leonard G. Nattkemper, head, as' sisted by W. V. McCay and Albert Small, is especially deserving of credit. The following made up the Board of Control during the past year. Phil Dixon, Chairman ExfCflicio Mr. Nattkemper, Head Coach Robert MacWhorter John Frenzel, Advertising William Fennell Mildred Scott, Library Elizabeth Burcham Martha Fleck, Library Sturgis Riddle Wilbert Catto, Senior Kenneth Potts Spurgeon Finney, Junior Charles Brown Darwin Paddock, Sophomore Mary Shumard INTERSCHOLASTIC DEBATES First debate.-Manual Arts QL. Aj vs. Long Beach High at L. B. Nov. 21,1924 Question: Resolved, That the United States should own the oil reserves in its territories and jurisdictions.

John Frenzell, Mary Shumard Affirmative: L. B. P. H. S., Mary Shumard, Charles Brown, and Gwendolyn Scott. Negative: M. A. H. S., Abraham Epstein and Harry Ianks. This debate was not one of the series of the Southern California Def bating League but one that was arranged so that Long Beach might have both an affirmative and a negative team in the field. Gwendolyn Scott was substituted for Charles Brown the week before the debate, as Brown was taken ill. Decision: Zfl for the affirmative. Los Angeles High vs. Long Beach at L. A. NOV. 21,1924 The question was the same as the one in the debate with Manual Arts. Affirmative: L. A. H. S., Alfred Lazarus and Fred Shimer. Negative: L. B. P. H. S., Sturgis Riddle and Kenneth Potts. This debate was the first one of the season under the auspices of the Southern California Debating League. Decision: 2f1 for the negative. Second Debate-University of Southern California Preparatory School fL. AQ vs. Long Beach High at Long Beach. March 6, 1925 at 8:00 p. -m. in the auditorium. Question: Resolved, That the California legislature was justified in ratifying the Child Labor Amendment to the Federal Constitution. 142 CAERULEA 25 IllllllllllllllIIIIlllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIlllllllIllIIllIIIIIIll!IIIIIllIIIIIIllIIllIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIllllIIIlllllllllllllllllllllillIIllIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllIIIllllllllIllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllll Affirmative: U. S. C. Prep. Lois King and R. W. Pace. Negative: L. B. P. H. S. Sturgis Riddle and William Fennell. This debate was scheduled for February 27, but owing to the illness of William Fennell, was postponed until the later date. Because of this postponement the Southern California Debating League ruled that the de' bate had been defaulted and the points for the championship in the League should be awarded to U. S. C. Prep regardless of the actual decision. Def spite this discouraging circumstance the Long Beach debater went in and won a victory. This default made it useless for Long Beach to hope for a championship in debate this year. Decision: 3fO for the negative. Third debate-Santa Monica High vs. Long. Beach High at Santa Monica. April 23, 1925 Question, Resolved: That capital punishment is for the best interest of society. Affirmative: Santa Monica, David Strouse and Marshall Hickson. Negative: L. B. P. H. S., Gwendolyn Scott and john Pre-nzel. This was the last league debate of the year and although Long Beach did not bring home a championship because of the default in the last debate, she was proud to have won all four of the debates which she participated in during the year. Decision: 2f1 for the negative. Four schools have this year paid tribute to Long Beach High's supremf acy in the forensic world. The Poly debate teams have succeeded in vanquishing all opponents that have come against them. Manual Arts, Los Angeles High, University High, and Santa Monica High have all met defeat at the hands of Long Beach teams. Poly can be justly proud of this record. She has always made an enviable record in forensic activities, but never one so enviable as the one just closed, 1924f25. INTERCLASS DEBATE First Debate-sophomores vs. freshman. January 26, 1925, at second and third periods. Question: Resolved: That National Defense Day should be main' tained in the United States. Affirmative: freshmen, David Thackeray and Paul johnson. Negative: sophomores, Gregson Bautzer and George Shibley. The manager for the sophomores was Darwin Paddock, and W. V. McCay coached the team. The freshman team was coached by DEBATE 143 C. W. Jackson and managed by Peter Beard. Both teams displayed a knowledge of the question although the sophomores made a decided victory. Gregson Bautzer and George Shibley should make excellent material for interscholastic debate next year. Decision: 3fO for the negative. Second Debate-juniors vs. seniors. March 18, 1925 at 3rd and 4th periods in the auditorium. Question: Resolved, that the jury system should be abolished. Afhrmative: seniors, john Frenzel and Wilbert Catto. Negative: juniors, Spurgeon Finney and Princess Booth. The manager for the Seniors was Wilbert Catto and the manager for the Juniors, Spurgeon Finney. The junior team was coached by lvlr. Ralph E. Oliver and Miss Alta B. Hall coached the Seniors. Decision: 3fO for the juniors. The championship debate of the year between the juniors and the sophomores was held too late in the year to be recorded in Caerulea. The junior team, composed of Princess Booth and Spurgeon Finney, was coached by Mr. Oliver. The sophomores, Gregson Bautzer and George Shibley, were coached by Mr. McCay. The season for interclass debate has been altogether successful, and more interest in this activity has been developed than for many years. THE TURGIS RIDDLF. was probably the most prom' DEBATERS inent man in the squad this year. In the debate with Los Angeles High he displayed forceful def livery coupled with good logic. A great part of the success of Long Beach High this year is due to his efforts. Kenneth Potts, although a new Hgure in debate, did exceedingly well and deserves great credit for his work. Charles Brown was unfortunately debarred from delivering his speech in the Manual Arts debate because of illness. It was his work in the gathering of material and in the preparation of his speech that made it possible for the team to win. Mary Shumard, although new to interscholastic debating, has long been prominent in interclass work. Her forceful delivery and her knowlf edge of the question were shown in the debate with Manual Arts. Gwendolyn Scott is only a sophomore and new in the school, but she sprang into debating prominence early in the school year when she substituted for Charles Brown. She is distinguished for forcefulness of presentation. 144 CAERULEA '25 IIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIllllllIlllllllIIIIIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllIIIIlllIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII1 William Fennell was the only letterman back on the squad. This is his second year in defending Long Beach High's debating laurels. john Frenzel is a new hand at actual debating although for several seasons he has been actively interested in its management. In the Junior' Senior tilt, and in the interscholastic debate with Santa Monica he dis' played admirable qualities. Frenzel has shown himself to be as a good a master of the art of debate as he is a master of the art of boosting debates. NATIONAL HE preliminary tryouts for the ORATORICAL CONTEST district contest were held on March 27 for the purpose of selecting the ive best orators of the high school who in turn competed for the honor of representing the school. The five high orators in order selected were: 1. William Fennell 2. Sturgis Riddle 3. George Shibley 4. Fred Bewley 5. Gregson Bautzer Alternate-Dorothymae Risdon District 13-At the Long Beach High School auditorium, periods 8, 9. April 3, 1925.

Both of the Long Beach papers, the PressfTelegram and the Morning Sun contributed S50 toward the local awards. The Long Beach Bar As' sociation and the central committee of the National Oratorical Contest also contributed S50 each toward the awards. Gregson Bautzer, the winner of Hrst place represented Long Beach High school in the Group G division. IIIIIIII IIII I IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIlIIllIIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Illlllllllllllhmig Group C-At the Glendale High School auditorium. April 17, 1925.

The winner of this contest received the privilege of stepping up still higher and entering the Times Grand Final. The Long Beach repre' sentative, Gregson Bautzer, though winning no prize, received two first places from the six judges and had fourteen as a total number of points. ORATORY HE Daniel Farrand Rogers Memorial oratorical contest for seniors takes place each year during Senior Week. The winner of the contest is awarded the sum of fifty dollars in gold. In 1923, the winner was Ellsworth Myer, and in 1924 the prize was awarded to Jack P. McGuire. The Southern California Oratorical Contest is an open competition to all high schools which are members of the Southern California Debating and Oratorical League. A silver cup is presented the school of the winning orator and a gold medal is awarded the successful speaker. Last year the cup was won by jack P. McGuire. The contest takes place in May. The Pomona College Declamatory Contest for Men and the same contest for women take place too late in the year to be recorded in Caerulea. Last year Long Beach did not enter this contest. The Redlands University Declamatory Contest is held annually in Redlands on High School Day. The Shakspere Festival is held in May. It is a field day in Shaksf perean interpretation for all Southern California high schools. ' x s9X1Q f.

AUDITORIUM EVENTS Told by a Freshman 'M so excited to think that I'm to write up some of the stage hap' penings! Gan you imagine them-no-their giving such an honor to a freshman? But there, they told me to be brief and not to digress. September 16-We had our Hrst assembly today for advertising High Life. I felt perfectly terrible because I had to sit away up in the baloony, but I could hear pretty well anyhow. It was just the humiliation, you know. October 8-An assembly to practice yelling for the Sherman Indian game CI know that is a glaring error, but they told me to be explicit and not to mind grammarj. I yelled so much I don't think I'1l have any voice left for the game. Gee, I hope no one gets scalped Saturday. Gctober 8-What a relief to get out of class for the Girls' League Stunt Assembly! If I'm a judge of stunts, they had some clever ones, all right. fMy highest ambition is to act on the stage, That was my Hrst experience with the Girls' League and all I say is that I hope they'll ap' preciate me. October 17-I had to borrow a dime to see Exchange , the first Masque and Sandal play, and it was worth it. I kept imagining all the time that I was on the stage. fI'm perfectly crazy about actingll Cn the way out I heard a Senior say, It's too deep for me , and I felt so intel' lectually superior. I guess seniors aren't everything after all. November 13-I heard the Zoellner Quartet and for the first time STAGE 147 IlllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIlllllllllllIlllIIIIIIII!IIIllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIUIIIH!!HiiiillIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII this year I've been proud that I'm a freshman, for not one of us acted up. fNatural1y we wouldn't with such music to listen to.J Next to being an actress I'd like being a member of the Zoellner Quartet. Told by a Sophomore November 17-I sat in the Senior section today to see the boys of the Dramatic Interpretation Class enact the signing of the Declaration of Independence. K When one is a sophomore, nothing is beyond onej All the actors had white wigs, oldffashioned suits, and very dignified manners. I remember one speech especially well: Give me liberty or give me death! It was part of Patrick Henry's, if I'm not mistaken. December 4 and 5-It's a tribute to a sophomore's capability that I should be allowed to write up Bunty Pulls the Strings, the Senior play. One of my teachers said he liked it because it was so homely. Of course vou know what he meant, simple and natural. If I had more room, I'd list the characters but then the powers that be would call me down for using too much space. But I mav say that Laura Ortman and Esther Christensen plaved Buntv. I don't know which of the two was better because, not being blessed with too much readv change, I saw only one nivht's performance. Robert Armistead was the lover. and Robert Mac Whorter, the stern father. Louise Buxton played the faithful sweetheart, and Olive Faber the most hateful old maid I never hope to be. Every' thing ended happily, even to the discomfiting of the .old maid, which is fortunate, I'm sure. 148 CAERULEA '25 llllllllIIIIIIIllllllllllllllIIllIllllllIIllIIIIIIlllllIllIIllIIlIllllIlllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIlllIIIIIlIIIIIII!IlllIIIIIllIllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllIIIIllllllIllIlllIIIllllIIllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll December 12-I'm glad they sang Ring Out Wild Bells at this year's Christmas assembly. They didn't last year and it wasn't half so Christmasy. It must be thrilling fand I don't mean that for slang, eitherj to join in The Sanctusv and the Hallelujah Chorus or to be Mr. Nattf kemper and read the Christmas story for the visualization. Dear old Christ' mas season! January 4-Wurzel Flummery! I can't imagine calling myself that even for ten thousand pounds. But the man in the play was ever so much more sensible than little I could be. He accepted the offer, but, between you and me, I think it hurt his pride. January 14-I heard Olga Steeb play today, whereby I resolve to strive no more. I guess I'm not a genius after all. Do you know, I never saw anyone more pleased to give out than she was? I believe I'll pracf tice five hours a day now instead of quitting altogether. Told by a Junior Ah, fellow juniorites, aren't you glad to see me here? January 29 and 30-The most faithful, delightful, romantic, immortal, etc. lovers, Romeo and Juliet, were presented by a most talented, enthusi' astic, etc. Cral Shakespeare class! Royal I-Iowell and Laura Ortman were them and Thelma Devins, with a crooked stick and rheumatism QI guess it was rheumatismj was the old nurse. William Miller played Capulet with Betha Cox for a proper and obedient wife. One of my STAGE 149 llIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIllIIIllIIIIIIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIIIIII!IIIIllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllIllllllllllIllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIll!IIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIllllllllllllllliIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII teachers said she never saw anyone in this school do a better piece of acting than Fred Mense did as Mercutio. But don't tell him, it might make him vain. Harry Adams played the kind old friar and Melvin Cytron, our dandy from Paree. Poor Romeo and Juliet! Ain't love tragic? February 11-'Ray for the basketball team! Now if I were a fresh' man, I'd have yelled myself so hoarse at assembly that I wouldn't have had any voice for the game. If I were a freshman----l. February 12-What would we do without Linooln's birthday once a year to remind us that we have a past to be proud of and to lead us on to helping make an age our descendents will be proud of? There, I'm almost preaching, but I always feel that way after hearing the Civil War veterans talk so enthusiastically about Lincoln. How precious his memory must be to them! February 16- Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm! It brought back old memories, I'll tell you Qmemories that came from reading those childish books, deep, deep, deep onesj. Don't you like to hear Gladys Kennedy cry? March 4-I was considering pretty seriously staying home today to hear President Coolidge's inauguration over the radio, but of course I was too conscientious, or scared, to do anything more than consider. My virtue, besides being a comfort itself, paid me extra. I heard the inaugural address at school-the first inaugural address ever heard throughout the country. Bless us, what would we do without our radios? March 4-It wasn't a fairy who told us The Road to Success , but I wouldn't doubt we'd have magic results if we'd follow instructions. Mr. Charles Barker, under the auspices of the Rotary Club, gave us fas my youfngest vocabulary would prompt me to sayj a stupendous lecture. Everyone was so still that the poor, overworked pin Qif it hadn't been so politej could have been heard to drop. March 26 and 27-I guess Aunt Mary wasn't the only person re' juvenated last night. I'm not so very ancient and carefladen myself, but I felt as many years younger than I am as a person can feel without ceasing to be altogether. We'll be sorry to lose Velma Devins, our Aunt Mary, when she's graduated. Poor old Joshua, alias Frederick Fordyce, trying to become modern enough to please this upftofdate lady. I thought we'd knock the stage over when the maid came tripping in with an old baby carriage for the tea wagon! And the lovers, united at last in spite of bills and troubles and a suit by the girl from Kalamazoo. CNO she isn't a can' nibalj. Dear old Aunt Mary! Three cheers for the best play of the year! qiosvv please don't say I'm prejudiced. Cf course I'll stick up for my own c ass . 150 CAERULEA '25 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII II IIIIlllllllllIlllllllllllllllIIIIIIlllIIIllllllllllllllllllllllll IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIIIIlllIllIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllli Told by a Senior March 30- All the world's a stage, and all the men and women, merely players, and as I heard somebody's latest whisper brightly to his lady, Mr, Warde's got'em all lickedll' You can't imagine how univerf sal he made Shakspere seem. He acted the cynical Jacques, the loyal Brutus, the passionate Romeo and Juliet, and the scheming Macbeth and would still have been acting, I suppose, if the old bell hadn't insisted on speaking its speech. But then, you can't expect it to appreciate any voice but its own. April 2-'Going to the track meet? That's the question Mr. Clyde Doyle asked us at assembly today. He told us all about the beginnings of track meets at Poly High and added that track is a better allfround sport than even football or baseball. Anyway, I know one somebody who's going to the meet. April 3-The basketball team presented us with the Coast League trophy cup today. Jack Dillon, the captain, and Coach Frazier gave short talks, telling about the work of the team this year and the Hne chances for a championship next year. Personally, I'd rather see a basket' ball game than a diving stunt by Prince Kxtszopvo from Russia, and it surely made me feel good to see old Long Beach High School receive a cup. April 9-Masque and Sandal presented 'Cp O' Me Thumb in assembly today. It was quite different from the usual run of plays, I think. It had a thread of pathos running among all the humorous imaginf ings of Amanda Aflick and the envious, sarcastic bickerings of the laundry girls. I liked it better than any other short play I've seen this year. Laura Ortman played the part of a poor, friendless little orphan with an imaginaf tion twice as big as herself. Jessie Lois Deeble, Betha Cox, and Elaine Bertrand were three ignorant, easyfgoing English working girls. Evelyn Gray played Madame Deideier, the fussy proprietress of the laundry, and Paul Little played the hero, Horace C'Oracej Greensmith. May 20, 21, 22, and 23-The following dialogue took place in the crossfword puzzle class: Teacher-James, tell me a sevenfletter word meaning the biggest success of the whole year . James-I know, teacher-EfRfMfIfNfIfE-''Erminie . Genius, said a wise man once upon a time, is not inspiration. Genif us is perspiration. Well, we're certainly proud of the work of our Er minie actors and directors even though we do have a secret opinion that plain work, unmixed with imagination and sympathy, didn't do it all. I've heard so many favorable comments that I shan't begin to quote A 152 CAERULEA '25 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII any of them, but more than one person said Erminie was the best opera ever given at this school. I was always eager to go to Europe, and Erminie has decided me. Of course I admit that things wouldn't be the same now as they were in seventeenth century fthe same of the story of the operaj, but that doesn't matter. To return-in case you didn't get a chance to go fto the opera, I mean, not to Erancej, I'11 tell you a little about it. Julietta Burnett, ugoldenfhaired and lyricfvoicedf' played Erminie, and she was hne! Garnet Rynearson, quite an opposite type, was very good as Iavotte. And, as the old seventeenthfcentury historian tells it, each of these girls had a friend, Cerise Marcel fDorothy Mealeyj, friend to Erminie, and Marie fEmily DeWittj, friend to Javotte. Moreover, since no tale is complete Without some sprinkling of comedy, the writer of this one supplied Cadeaux and Ravennen, the first having been portrayed with great ability by Foster Rucker and the second with equally good success by Milton Hand. There was provided to play opposite these two, Princess De Gramtoneur fAdeline Martj who quite won the audience by her good acting of the part. But stopg we have not mentioned the hero, and of what account, I ask you, is any story lacking a hero? We saw him in Eugene Marcel, portrayed most pleasingly by Eugene Combs. Nor must we forget Chevalier De Brabacon, an old nobleman, played by Gilbert Brown, whom we compliment most sincerely on his acting. Then on to the father of Erminie, Marquis De Pomvert fRoger Williamsj and Captain De Launey QRolland Taylorj, a dashing, handsome seaman. Though we heard more of Vicome De Brisf sac fPaul Framej than we saw of him, nevertheless we commend his acting. Now let us to the inn to be served by Simon, the waiter QSeth Feltl, and to be entertained by Dufoin, the landlord fRoy Rowejf' --Which ends the account. But our historian has told only of those visible actors, failing to credit the invisible directors. I mention, therefore, as a sequel to the account of the chronicler, the work of Miss Ardis, Mr. Temple of Los Angeles, Miss Gee, Miss Pepple, and Miss Breed. Also, lest he think I consider the business a negative quantity, I congratulate Leonard Bendinger on his work and with that- bid ye all and all, a fare' well merrily. ,nl Twinn?

This upfandfcoming spirit was carried over into school time, and within two weeks of the opening day, uniforms were issued and a tentative organization perfected, with the battalion under the command of Major Robert Thompson. With the organization completed and the unit settled down to routine, Captain Vernon McGuHin was promoted to the Majority, and under the guidance of Captain Gunn and Sergeant Griffin, assisted by the corps of student oflicers, training went ahead swiftly and smoothly. Except for the participation in the Carnival of States and the Armis' tice Day parades, the attention and energy of the men of the unit was principally absorbed, in preparation for Major jordan's visit of inspection.

The essay contest, which determined the honorary officers, took place early in the year, and a very gratifying amount of interest was manifested by the school at large. The second semester was principally taken up by the effort to perfect the Butts Manual, and in preparation for the Company and Platoon com' petitions. Cur Retreat ceremony, in which the Stars and Stripes Club takes part once a week, is a source of no little pride to the R. O. T. C. unit, in so far as according to the best information now available, Long Beach Poly High is the only public school in the United States which follows the custom that is an invariable rule in all army posts. Perhaps the most noteworthy event of the year, which proved satisf factory to all-rookies and officers alike-was the adoption and purchase of brass buttons. Another item of considerable importance to all of the army fellows was the initiation of scholarship requirements for prof motion. To be eligible for commissions, the cadets had to have recom' mended grades in three subjects the previous semester and be making rec's at the time of their promotions. A merit record of ninety or above was also required. R- 0- T- C- HE R. O. T. C. or Hrst band has had an unusually BAND I successful season this year, having functioned for many civic and school affairs, over and above its regular military duties. It is equipped to play fine concert programs as well as military music. Mr. George C. Moore has been instructor and director of the band at Poly for eleven years, and considers the present aggregation the best to date. Visiting teachers and prominent musicians have also spoken very highly of it. The climax of the year occurred when Mr. Sousa, himself, directed the band in several numbers. During Teachers' Institute at U. S. C. this year, the band played a ooncert, this being the first time a military band has ever functioned in this capacity.

Cornrneau OMEGA KAPPA HE Omega Kappa fflilicers' Clubj, formed last year by the commissioned officers for the purpose of stimulating interest in military affairs, sprang into prominence this year with the giving of a formal banquet, one of the big social events of the year and a huge success. Perhaps the biggest event in the history of the club was the formal installation, following a long correspondence, of the second chapter of Omega Kappa at San Diego High School by a delegation from Long Beach. This puts Cmega Kappa well on the road toward being a statefwide or' ganization, for other chapters are expected to follow. JUNIOR HE junior Service Club, formed by the union SERVICE CLUB of last year's Privates' club and Noncommisf sioned Cilicers' club has done a great deal for the unit. Its purpose is to promote harmony and efliciency in the R. O. T. C., and to stimulate interest in military training. This organization has been largely instrumental in the building up of a fine esprit de corps and a spirit of cofoperation among the members of the R. O. T. C. Americanism is absolute loyalty to the Constitution and to the Flag of the United States in thought, Word, and deed.-Frederick Warde.

O. T. C. and military training in general. Besides taking charge of the retreat ceremony every Wednesday afternoon, it has accorded the R. O. T. C. unit its enthusiastic support at every turn. The club has been active in other affairs of the school, as well, and all consider that it has had a very successful year. HONURARY ARLY in the year, the annual R. O. T. C. OFFICERS Essay contest on the subject of Why I approve of military training for young Amerif cans was held, and the winners were commissioned honorary officers in the R. O. T. C. and presented with cash prizes. Beatrice Tibeau, of the junior class, winner of the grand prize, was commissioned honorary colonel and awarded S25 in gold, Louise Elliott, honorary major and S15 in gold, and Frieda Keiser and Dorothy Farrar, honorary captains and S5 each in gold. At a review in their honor the winners of the contest received their commissions, and following a custom begun last year, Colonel Tibeau was presented with an honorary membership in the Omega Kappa. 164 CAERULEA '25 lIlmlHmHml H lIHIIIIIIHIIllIlllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIU BOYS' HE Boys' Rifle Team has been working hard this RIFLE TEAM year, and the results have fully justined the effort put forth. There has been Hring on the outdoor range at Fort MacArthur, and on the excellent indoor range at Poly. The team participated in the National competition, and despite a shortage of ammunition for practice and strange rifles to shoot With, a very creditable showing was made. GIRLS' ICKED from among the members of the Girls' RIFLE TEAM Rifle Club, the Rifle Team has done a great deal of hard work and practice this year, in order to be able to meet teams from other schools in competition.

The rifle club is afliliated with the N. R. A., this affiliation gives the team an official status. For the first time in Poly's history girls fired regular army magazine rifles on the Fort MacArthur outdoor range, where several made excellent scores.

Ed Green Capt. Hulen Coach Hunt Coach Welsh Although the football season did not turn out so well as was expected at the beginning of the season, the first team gridders finished a hard season with four victories and two defeats--by no means a bad record. The defeat by Fullerton was the biggest upset of the year, although the loss to San Diego was hard to take, as the Local team seemed to have the edge throughout the game. However, in the last game of the season, the Jackrabbits made a successful conclusion to the season by defeating their ancient rival, Pasadena, 13 to O. More than a hundred men answered the call of Coach Welsh at the beginning of the season, and out of these men, three complete teams were developed. Coach Welsh was ready to put in a new team at any time under this system. Both Coach Welsh and Assistant Coach Dean deserve credit for the manner in which they handled the team, as both men were new to the school. The team was managed by Ed Green. Captain Ray Hulen played a good game during the season and showed himself to be a capable leader. Al Fry, who was chosen by the students as the most valuable player, undoubtedly won the honor by his great off fensive playing and dependability on the defense. Painter, a halfback who showed up well and had plenty of fight, was elected captain of next year's team. Elliot, Parke, Leedom, Artman, Hand, Watson, Goldman, Schact, Bourgeois, and Milligan all played good football. The following were out for the team all season: Standlea, Thiede, Morrow, McKee, Ma' loney, McKillop, Sullivan, Mulkey, Bennett, Reeves, Lorimer, Hall, Easter' brooks, Evans, French, Murray, O'Brien, Williams, Hamliton, and Work.

Al Davis Coach Barker SHERMAN INDIANS, 6, LONG BEACH, 7 King Football stepped onto his throne in Long Beach on October 11, the day on which the Sherman Indians met the jackrabbits in a practice game, the first game of the season for Long Beach. The hnal count was 7 to 6 with the Jackrabbits on the right side of the ledger. Neither team scored until the last period, when Bourgeois of Long Beach scooped up an Indian fumble and raced to a touchdown. The Redskins also scored in this period on a long forward pass, but failed to kick goal, giving the jacks the margin on the game. The teams were evenly matched and both played better defensively than offensively. SANTA ANA, 0, LONG BEACH, 6 In the first league game of the year, before a large crowd, the Iackf rabbits took a hard fought game from the Santa Ana eleven on Burcham Field by a verdict of 6 to 0. The Saints were hard workers and the husky jacks were kept hustling throughout the game. The only score came in the first quarter, when, after Artman recovered a fumble, successive bucks by Watson and Fry worked the ball to the one yard line, where Parke carried it across. The Saints threatened in the second quarter on a field goal, but the oval fell short and Iong Beach was safe. The game was a punting duel between Hulen and the Saint's right guard. Fortyfeight kicks were registered in the game, with an average of 37 yards for Santa Ana and 36 yards for the Jackrabbits. Several men were laid out, but none severely hurt. Artman, Leedom, Parke, and Watson starred for the winners, and Spencer, Dawson, and Decker played well for the opposition. 172 CAERULEA '25 llIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIllIlllIlllIIIIilllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllIIIHIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllll Fry Milligan Elliott Painter Bourgeois FULLERTON, 18, LCNG BEACH, 0 Giving one of the worst exhibitions of football played by a Long Beach team in several years, the jackrabbit Hrst string gridders went down to an inglorious defeat before the light and inexperienced Fullerton aggref gation at the Fullerton field before more than one thousand Long Beach rooters. The final score was 18 to 0. The whole team of Rabbits failed to function properly, both on the offense and on the defense, but the Oiler team, which before the game was not granted a chance to win, played a fast and smooth game. Two of the touchdowns were made by blocked punts, but the third was the result of several good gains by the halfbacks. The Long Beach line did not hold, consequently the Fullerton forward men broke through and nabbed the locals before they started. A few passes were completed by the Jackrabbits, but they never threatened to score. Leedom and Parke played best for Long Beach, and Dunn, Rafi, and Partridge did well for Fullerton. WHITTIER, Og LONG BEACH, 12 Showing a great Hghting spirit, and a determinination that could not be denied, the local heavy team opened up in the last quarter against Whittier and defeated the Quaker team 12 to 0. Long Beach had the best of the going all the way, being robbed of two other touchdowns by penalties. Coaches Welsh and Dean improved the line and backfield considerably, putting Watson and Goldman on the line. The passing, defense, and following of the ball by the jackrabbits was excellent.

The game was hardffought throughout, the spirit of Long Beach being a feature. The jackrabbits were fighting uphill all the way, but by taking the breaks, and playing a hard game, seemed sure to win when O'Bryan put over a field goal in the third period. San Diego was not to be denied, however, and came back with a touchdown. Long Beach again worked the ball to the twenty yard line, but instead of kicking, tried four passes that went wrong, and San Diego kicked out of danger. The local team could have won by kicking, but they did not, consequently San Diego clinched the championship, eliminating Long Beach. Parke, Painter, Fry, Hulen, Milligan, O'Bryan, and Artman played well for Long Beach, Ribbley and Ritchey were the stars for San Diego. PASADENA, 65 LONG BEACH, 13 With a fight and spirit that could not be stopped, the Long Beach eleven finished the gridiron season by defeating the Pasadena Bulldogs 13 to 6 in the Tournament of Roses stadium before a crowd of more than 10,000. The game was a thriller throughout, and neither team was sure of victory until the last whistle blew. Spirit and feeling were high on both sides, the yelling of the rooters surpassing any previous games' vocal efforts. Fry was the individual star for Long Beach, carrying the ball 174 CAERULEA '25 EIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIllIIlIIllIIllIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIllIIIIIIlIIllIIHIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIlIIIllIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllll seventy yards for a touchdown in the Hrst quarter and later taking it for another touchdown. In all, Fry made well over one hundred and fifty yards for the Iackrabbitts. Hand, Parke, and Elliott also played well, and Hulen's kicking and passing were superior to that of his Pasadena op' ponent. Conterno and Schmidt were responsible for the Crimson and White touchdown, Fell and DeGroot also starred for the losers. Both teams had chances to score at various times, but the opposition held. The game was a fitting climax for the local team's season and a happy one for Long Beach. CLASS B FOOTBALL Handicapped by the loss of several players, and having a hard time getting started, the local Class B football team finished the season with three victories, four defeats, and one tie. The team was managed by Ed Beebe and coached by Coach Barker. The last game with Pasadena was the worst disappointment of the year, because the local team led the entire game until a lucky break gave Pasadena a touchdown in the last few minutes of play, which won the game for the Bulldogs. Brown, Archer, Halfhill fcaptainj, Van Every, Perrish, Outhier, Walker, and Binns played well throughout the season. , ORANGE, Og LONG BEACH, 13 The Iackrabbitt Class B team started the season by playing a scoreless tie with Compton middleweights at Compton. The game was crude, with uncertain quarters. Brown, Halfhill, Van Every, Outhier, and Bayne IIIIIII Illl ' IIII I IIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIII IIIIIIllIIIIIIllIIllIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIJIIKEQ played well. In the next, a practice game with Orange, the locals took the count of the Inlanders, 13 to O. Captain Halfhill ran back a punt for a touchdown in this game. In the other practice game, a return en' counter with Compton, played at Long Beach, the local team was nosed out by one touchdown. Long Beach did not score and put up a listless game throughout, the loss of quarterback Brown working a bad effect on the team. Perrish, and Outhier played a good game, however. SANTA ANA, 19, LONG BEACH, 12 In the first league game of the year, the Iackrabbit middles went down to a hard fought defeat 19 to 12, before the Saints on the latter's back lot. The game was a costly one for the green and gold, as Brown, quarter, was laid up with a bad ankle that threatened to keep him out for many weeks, if not for the entire season. The game was seefsaw and always in doubt till the last few minutes of play. The Saints were just too good for the light Rabbits. FULLERTON, 7, LONG BEACH, 18 After a slump of two weeks, the Class B team snapped out of it and defeated the Fullerton middle team by the decisive score of 18 to 7. The team played a much better brand of ball than in previous tilts and seemed to be entirely rejuvenated despite Brown's absence. The locals did all their scoring in the first half, and the Oilers got a touchdown in the third period on a fumble. Perrish and Bayne on the line did some good work, while Van Every was the star of the backfield, with Halfhill, Archer, Outhier, and Korsmier also making good gains. WHITTIER, 6, LONG BEACH, 12 With the return of Brown to the lineup, the middles traveled to Whittier and defeated the Poets by a score of 12 to 6. The local team completely outclassed their rivals in all departments of the game. Bayne, Binns, Dalton, Halfhill, and Van Every played well for the locals, Binns recovering a blocked kick, and Dalton doing some great kicking. SAN DIEGO, 14, LONG BEACH, 0 The Jackrabbit Class B team was definitely put out of the Coast League race by losing to San Diego 14 to O on the opponents' grounds. The breaks went against the locals, and despite a Iackrabbit rally, the Southerners braced themselves and held the Rabbits. Outhier starred on the offensive, and Perrish did well on the line. 176 CAE1?HlrEA...1E.2 PASADENA, 7, LONG BEACH, 6 In the last game of the year for the Class B team, the locals went down to a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of the powerful middleweight team from Pasadena. The score was 7 to 6. Long Beach led all the way until the last few minutes, when a pass, a lucky fumble, and a long run gave the Bulldogs the game. The result was lucky for Pasadena, as the Iackrabbit team had outplayed their ancient rivals throughout. The victory gave Pasadena the championship. Halfhill, Brown, Van Every, Perrish and Bonar did well for Long Beach and tried their hardest to stave off defeat. CLASS C FOOTBALL For the second successive time, the Long Beach Class C football team finished first in the Coast League, piling up 128 points to their opponents' 13. The midget team finished the season undefeated and was scored on by only two teams. They seemed to have the best team in years and a probable Southern California championship, when on the eve of a playoff with Glendale, the team was ruled out of all playoffs because two ineligible players had been used during the season. The blow was a hard one, for it completely finished the little Jackrabbits for the present season. The Meyer brothers were mainly responsible for the large scores, but Logan, Maltby, Viets, Brashear, Elli-ot, and Johnson also starred through' out the season. The team was managed by Van Heflin, and Coach Frazier coached the eleven. COMPTON, Og LONG BEACH, 12 Starting their season with a victory, the vest pocket edition of Long Beach High's football library, defeated the Compton midgets 12 to 0 on the local lot. Both touchdowns were made by straight football with good interference. Red Johnson opened big holes in the Compton wall and the Meyer brothers and Foxy Maltby tore through them with great skill. Jimmy Logan handled the team to perfection and the fleaweights looked as good as last year's Southern California Championship aggregation. COMPTON, Og LONG BEACH, 25 In a return game with the Compton babes, as a preliminary to the Long BeachfSherman Indian game, the local lights won a 25 to O decision over their opponents and proved themselves to be much improved. John' son blocked two punts and ran for touchdowns, while the work of the backfleld was even better than in the first game. Elliot and Hulen played well on the line, and Logan played a heady game at quarter.

SANTA ANA, Og LONG BEACH, 16 After winning the two practice games the jackrabbit Class C team won its first league game from the Santa Ana eleven, 16 to 0, in the prelim' inary to the first team game. The ,lacks were in plenty of trouble during the game, however, and did well to ring up so many points. Two touch' downs and a field goal gave the lights their points, and a good defensive game kept the Saints from scoring even when they were on the local ten yard line. Fumbles by Santa Ana came in handy for the local team. The whole team played a good game, with johnson, Viets, Elliot, and Brashear showing up well on the line and Cliff Meyer, Laurie Meyer, and Logan playing well in the backfield. FULLERTON, O, LONG BEACH, 28 With the first league game safely tucked away, the Long Beach midgets went on the field favored to win from the Fullerton C's by a small margin. They came off the field with 28 to 0 score in their favor and with a very good chance for the league championship. The jack' fabbitts had it all over the Fullerton team, making yards at will, and stop' ping the lnlanders in their tracks. Cliff Meyer made three touchdowns, and outpunted his rival, besides playing 1 good defensive game and inter' cepting a pass. Great day for Cliff ! Maltby and Logan were also on hand for some good runs, while Elliot, Viets, and Brashear were shining on the line. The team looked like a winner over all comers. 178 CAERULEA '25 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII llIHIIlllIIIIIllllIIIIIIIHIIIllllIllIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIlllIIIIIIIIIIll!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIB WHITTIER, Og LONG BEACH, 20 As a preliminary to the big game, the Jackrabbit midgets took the Whittier lights down the line to a 20 to O defeat. At no time was the Long Beach team in danger. Penalties were all that kept the jacks from piling up a larger score. The game was chiefly a parade of Long Beach men towards the Poet goal line. The Meyer brothers, Maltby, Logan, Viets, and Elliott played a stellar game against Whittier, and Cooper and Long shone for the opponents. HUNTINGTON PARK, 7, LONG BEACH, 14 Putting up a stiff opposition, the Huntington Park lightweights, who had not been scored on before this year, took on the lackrabbit Class C team, also with a perfect defensive record, on the local back lot, and emerged on the short end of a 14 to 7 score. The local team went on the field overfconfident, and didn't wake up till there were only three minutes to go and the score tied. The steam roller, composed of the Meyer brothers, Logan and Maltby, then started rolling, and the four backfield men had little trouble in putting over another touchdown. Besides the backfield, Brashear, johnson, and Littrell played well for Long Beach. PASADENA, 6, LONG BEACH, 13 By defeating the Pasadena midgets 13 to 6 in the Rose bowl pref liminary to the big game, the Long Beach lightweight team romped to a Coast League championship, the second in two years. The game was all for Long Beach, a lucky blocked kick giving the Crimson team a touch' down early in the game. At this point, however, the local team braced and started their steam roller tactics toward the Bulldog goal. They were not to be denied, and soon put the oval across for a touchdown, Logan kicking goal. In the last quarter they scored again, and threatened many times, but because of penalties did not succeed in adding any more points. The lightweight team did not play so well as usual, but nevertheless were far better than their opponents. Logan, the Meyer brothers, Elliot, and Viets played well. multi' Q P ' 11- v' fQ .-, Wal-W R Li 1 f 'rf 1 4 . ,if A-.-u If 5, SJ, f S' .E 'ml' Wf -S 'X ,f I Ib- :x I' 1 sac IlIlIIIllllIllllllllIllllllllllIIIIIIlIllllllllIlIIIIII!IIllIlllllllllllllllllIllllllllIllllIIllIlIIIIIIlIllllllIIIIIIIIIIIllIllllIIIIIIIIIIIlllllIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllll IIIZ9 BASKETBALL N order to give the coaches a chance to pick out material for the basketf ball teams, an interclass basketball meet was held, in which each class was represented by three teams, heavies, middles, and lights. In the Class A, the senior team won, in Class B, and Class C the sophof mores. Twelve games were played and several good players were chosen from the class teams for the regular school teams. Ted Burkhardt, Roscoe Kerr, and Max Williams managed the Class A, B, and C teams respectively for the seniors. For the juniors, jim Logan, Pat Dixon, and Bill Crowles managed the three teams in their order. Lawrence Perrish, George Willis, and Jim Heartwell were the sophof more managers. The freshmen had no managers, but entered the teams. In coaching, Coach Frazier had charge of the seniors, Coach Dean of the juniors, Coach Barker of the sophomores, and Coach Comfort of the freshmen. CLASS A BASKETBALL FTER winning the Coast League Basketball Championship, and def feating two teams in the playoffs, the Long Beach varsity cagers lost a semiffinal game to Chino 31 to 27 and were eliminated from the playoffs for the Southern California Championship. The Jackrabbits held a substantial lead until the last two minutes of play, and were finally beaten out in an extra period although they had outplayed their rivals throughout the encounter. 180 CAERULEA '25 lllIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!IIIIII!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllIIIIIIIIIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Poly's championship quintet was coached by Coach Frazier and managed by Ted Burkhardt. The team was built around Captain Jack Dillon. Several new men showed up well, the outstanding scorer for the team being Dowell Richards, who piled up well over a hundred points. Hepp at forward also played a heady and accurate game throughout the season. Pete Davis, C'Brien, Easterbrooks, and Reynolds also played well in all the games, with Parker, Bourgeois, Litchenwalter, and Bakke ready to go in at any time. Several practice games with nearby schools were played before the regular schedule started. In the first league game the Jackrabbits took Santa Ana down the line, 21 to 8, with little trouble. The next game, with Fullerton, went to the local quintet, 21 to 9, Hepp and Richards starring on the offensive, while Dillon and Davis held the Oilers in check. The only defeat, until the last game, came when the locals were robbed of a victory by the small, low gymnasium at Whittier, where they came out losers, 19 to 18. The team had trouble in looping their shots in the small gym. The greatest game of the season was with San Diego, at the Border City. After a hectic ga-me, during which both teams led at times, the Jackrabbit team won, 27 to 25. Richards sank the winning basket as the whistle blew. Pasadena, the last and most powerful enemy of the locals in the league, came to Long Beach determined to win, but went away with the short end of a 21 to 15 score. This victory gave the locals the championship of the Coast League.

San Bernardino, our next opponent, was beaten 20 to 11, but here the victories ended, for Chino stopped the local team the following week at the U. S. C. pavilion. In a practice game with the local Y. M. C. A. team, the jackrabbits were defeated also, but aside from that, won the rest of the practice games.

The locals were nosed out at the last by Pasadena 24 to 8. Coach Dean had charge of the team while Al Davis managed it. There was an abundance of material for the team, and for a while a championship seemed probable, but the last game made the fateful decision. After several practice games, the Class B hoopsters journeyed to Santa Ana and downed the Saints 23 to 20 in a fast game. The next week they suffered a setback, losing to the Fullerton live by the close margin of 13 to 12. San Diego was an easy victim, however, losing to the locals 19 to 9, while the Iackrabbits nosed out Whittier 21 to 19. The last league game of the year, and the one that decided the chamf pionship, the one with Pasadena, went to the Bulldogs by the decisive score of 24 to 8, and Long Beach was out of the running. Throughout the schedule, the guarding of Brown and Perrish was a feature, while Winterburn and Rankin worked well on the offensive. Coleman played a rangy and accurate game at the center position. Camp' bell and Baum were not eligible until late in the season but played a gsood game when they were sent in.

CLASS C BASKETBALL LTHCUCH the Class C basketball team played a long season and won all the practice games, it did not do so well in league games, and finished the season third, with three victories and two defeats. The midgets were under the direction of Coach Barker, who built up a fast and powerful squad, which worked well in practice but could not get going in the games that counted. Max Williams was manager.

The locals came off the floor, losers to the count of 19 to 4 in a crude game. In the next game with Fullerton, they fared better, winning 11 to 3. From this time on only one game was lost. San Diego forfeited, but the little jackrabbits lost to Whittier 24 to 17. In the final game, with the ancient enemy, Pasadena, the Bunnies came out victorious, 21 to 8. Wilson, C.Meyers, Shaw, Osborne, Linnell, Saylor, and Jellon all piled up many baskets, while the guarding of L. Meyers, Walker, and Viets was excellent. Murray, Campbell, Bonar, Binns, Maher, and Wells also played during the season and showed up well. Scores of the games were: San Pedro ......................................................

Coach Dean, a former U. S. C. football star, was a great help to the Jackrabbit's team. Tub Gohner, last year's varsity Hrst baseman, managed the team well. The captain's duties were taken care of by Frank Eaton. Long Beach defeated the strong aggregation from Santa Ana 3f1, in the first league game of the season, held on the latter's grounds. Ed Wil' kens, local star right hander, pitched a heady game throughout the nine innings, holding the Saints to five hits, three of which were of the scratch variety. Wilkens displayed good control in sending thirteen back to the bench through the strikefout route, and walking none. Holley and Maclnf tosh played stellar ball for the locals. Fullerton broke Long Beach's winning streak of ten games by beating the locals Zfl, in eleven innings -on the local back yard. Wilkens again showed his ability in this game although Talbert started on the mound for the jackrabbit's. In a ninth inning rally, the oilers tied the score at one all. In the eleventh inning Fullerton was able to shove across the winning run, cinching the game. In the majority of the games, the team lined up as follows: Pitcher, Willcensg catcher, Dillon, first base, Goldman, second base, Mittlesteadtg third base, Holley, short stop, Painter, left field, Captain Eatong center field, Maclntoshg right field, Sullivan. The reserves did I I III I IIIII I II II well when they were called upon. The following made up the reserve strength: Clarke, Crane, McAdams, Hutton, Talbert, Ferguson, Dryden, Hepp, and Ballard. Three league games remained on the schedule. Whittier, San Diego, and Pasadena were still to be met, the results for these games were not available, as Caerulea went to press before the Whittier game.

TRACK S a preliminary to the regular track season, an interclass meet was held to find new material and to train those expecting to try out for the first team. The seniors grabbed first place after a hard battle. Doty, Kanow, Adamson, Maltby, McNee, Dalton, Standlea, and Hand showed themselves to be of first team caliber and afterward made the varsity. The interclass meet was a success from every angle, and will be conf tinued in the future in order to get the track men in condition and to give new men a chance to see what they can do. About 250 participated this year. 186 CAERULEA '22 lllllIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIlllIlllIlllIlllIIIIIIIIIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIIIHIIIllIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIllllllllIllllllllllllfiliiiiiiiillllIlllIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII CLASS A TRACK INNING three and losing two meets, the Long Beach track men finished a hard season by grabbing third place in both league stand' ings and the league meet. The track team was coached by Coaches Barker and Welsh and managed by George Lewis, himself a former track man. Lewis managed the team well, and more support was given this year than ever before. Wendell Doty, who was beaten only once, won both the 100 and 220 dashes in the league meet, and showed himself to be a superior runner throughout the season, establishing new Coast League records in the century and 220 yard dashes. Bob Lewis, Poly's sensational miler, was not passed during the season, and in a sensational run, defeated McCormick of San Diego, making a new record of 4 minutes, 31 seconds. Captain A1 Fry won the hurdles in nearly every meet and did well in the discus. Fawcett, Dalton, Maltby, Adamson, Astley, and Standlea also made a good many places. Dalton improved with every meet, taking second in the Coast meet, and Maltby bettered his mark in the high jump every week. Powell, Kanow, Hand, Frymier, Maloney, Lindsey, Campbell, Rankin, and Stewart also placed in some meets. The first meet went to the Iackrabbits, 63V2 to 47V2 for Santa Ana. In the second meet the local tracksters kept up the good work, taking Fuller' ton's measure '73 to 40. Whittier next fell before the local cinder diggers, 78 to 35, and things looked bright for a championship. However, in a practice meet the Huntington Park team beat the Jacks, 5 7 to 5 4, and San IlllIIllIIllIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIllllIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIllIIllIlllIIllIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIXIIIIIIIIIII lIlllIlllllllIlllIIIIIlllIIIHIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllgflgn Diego's team followed suit, winning 72 to 40. Pasadena got the habit also, and by winning the relay, defeated the locals 59 to 'S 7. The Coast League Meet was held here after the regular schedf ule, and San Diego won with a safe margin. Pasadena barely nosed Long Beach out for second place, while Fullerton and Santa Ana tied for fourth. Whittier took sixth with two points. A feature of the meet was the national record set by the San Diego High School relay team in the half mile. Eight Coast League records were also broken, three by Long Beach and three by San Diego, despite a slow track after a rain. Two relay teams from Long Beach took second and third in the .one mile and two mile relay respectively at the San Bernardino Orange show. As Caerulea went to press, several local men were planning to enter the Pomona pentathlon, and the Southern California meet at the Coliseum. CROSS COUNTRY RACES URING the Carnival of States Field Day, held at Poly High, a cross country race, open to all high school boys, was held. Many boys took part in the races and other athletics. C. Johnson, Capslinger, Hayden, Peters, and Binns, were among those who did the best and Hnished in the highest places in the races. The event is to be an annual one, and as a great deal of interest was shown this year, the first for cross country in Poly, it is expected that the event will become still more popular in the future. WATERPOLO N one of the 'most unsuccessful waterpolo seasons in the history of Long Beach High School, the Poly waterdogs completed the entire season without one victory. Because the team lacked experience and did not cofoperate, every opponent was successful in defeating the locals. Coach Ferrell instructed the team in the art of polo playing, and def serves credit for developing fair players out of green material. Pete Archer, a former polo star, managed the team and worked hard to make the team a winner. Archer also staged some assemblies and aroused interest in the sport. Cal Strong, captain, was the star of the Long Beach team, scoring 188 CAERULEA '25 lllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIllllllllIIllIIlIlIlllIIIIlIIIlIllllIlllIIIIIIlIIIIIIIllIllllllIlIIIIlIIIIIIllIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllIIIIIIIllllllIIllIllIllllllllllIlllIIlIIIIIlIlIIIIIllIIIIlllIlIllllllllllllllllllllllllli nearly all of the team's points and playing a good allfround gameg Meteer also played well all season. Young played an exceptional game and fought hard until he was taken sick and had to drop out. Sullivan, Car' penter, Perrish, Nolan, Simmons, Welsh, Thiede, and Davidson. all played in most of the games and tried hard. Most of them were new men. Anaheim and Inglewood forfeited to the local submarine team, but in the first battle, Pasadena won a hard fought game, 4 to 2, at the Crown City tank. Venice, ancient polo enemy of Long Beach, then won another close ga-me from the locals, 3 to 1. Hollywood had the easiest time of any of the Jackrabbit opponents, taking an easy game, 7 to 1, at the local pool. Huntington Park was fortunate to step out ahead of the Poly team when they won, 7 to 6. Several misses by Long Beach forwards lost for their team. L. A. High, always strong in polo, came down to the sea in ships and sank the locals, 4 to 2, in one of the most exciting games seen in the Long Beach pool in years. Although the local polo season was nearly a total failure, several men on the team who will be back next year gained helpful experience and will form the foundation for a strong team next year. Some practice games were held, but Long Beach lost them also.

In fact, a definite team had not yet been chosen when Caerulea went to press. Gym is a new sport, and one which takes a great deal of skill to make the team. With proper support it should prove one of the best in the school. It develops the athletes more than any other sport, possibly exf cluding swimming, and is as clean as any could possibly be. It deserves the hearty support of the student body in the future. Contests this year were held with Pasadena and L. A. city schools, but next year a regular Coast League schedule will be arranged, with playoffs for championships. This year's gymnasts were trained by Coach Ferrell and managed by Irving Rosenburg. Both coach and manager deserve credit for the manner in which they handled the team. WRESTLING RESTLING proved such a popular sport this year that a team was formed from the many boys who joined the wrestling class, anda ' schedule of matches was held. At the time Caerulea went to press the season was not finished, but several matches had been held. Coach Ferrell had charge of the wrestlers, while Porky Perrish managed the team. Because very few high schools have wrestling teams, 190 CAERULEA '25 matches were scheduled alm-ost entirely with college and athletic club teams. The team won the first match of the year with Whittier, 3 to 2. In the second meet with U. S. C. varsity wrestlers, the locals lost a hard match 18 to 10, but did extremely well considering the fact that it was a college team that defeated them. The third match went to the Southern Branch team, 3 to Z, despite the fact that the Long Beach team had fought hard. Manager Perrish tried to schedule more matches with high school teams after the practice with the college teams, but none of the L. A. city schools would meet the local matmen. The reason was because of the good showing made by Long Beach against college men. Whittier was scheduled for a return match but refused to come over, and so forfeited to the Jackrabbits. At this time a challenge was issued to all Southern California high schools and as no school accepted it, the local team was declared Southern California champions. Because it is not a major sport, life passes were not awarded the members of the team. The men were classed according to weight in all of the matches. For the local team, Rulon, Brisson, Airth, Thiede, Wisner and Henisse were the most consistent, all -of them doing well and displaying much ability. Taylor and Andrews also did some fine wrestling and showed plenty of power on the mats. fT:Rj.lmEH9S .. .. 191 SWIMMING ECAUSE Caerulea was going to press, the results of none of the swim' ming meets were available at the time although the team was practif cally chosen. Meets were to be held with such schools as Inglewood, Huntington Park, and Huntington Beach. The Southern California meet, in which most schools in Southern California competed, was schedf uled for May 16, and the state meet for May 23. Long Beach entered men in both of these events. Coach Ferrell coached the team, and Alvin Archer, manager of water' polo, also managed swimming. Simmons and Nolan were the men chosen for the 100 and 50 yard sprints. Bell was chosen for the 220 and 440 yard swims, while Meteer was slated to take part in the 220 and 440 yard events. Corey and Bell were the divers. Barth was entered in the breast' stroke. Other men were later developed, but it was too late to put their names in Caerulea. Before the regular waterpolo season got under way, an interclass meet, similar to those of interclass basketball and track, was held for the purpose of developing new men and strengthening class spirit. The Senior class won the meet, with the class of '27 second. Some good players were picked for the school team from the four class teams. 192 CAERULEA '25 KIIIIlIIIllllllIlIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllFIIIHIVIIVIIHIIIYIIIIIIVIIIVIIHIIVIIIIYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVIINVIIIHIIIllIIVlllllllVIIIHIIIIHIIIIIIHIIIYIIIIVIIHIIIIIIIIIIlllllIIIHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIllllllllllllllllllllllfv GOLF INNINC Hve out of nine matches, the Poly High golf team comf pleted a semifsuccessful season and finished fourth in the Southern California Golf League. Two of the five matches won were pracf tice, and did not count in the standings. Harry J. Moore, vicefprincipal, was faculty adviser for the team, and Henry Clock managed it. The first match was won by the local team when it defeated the Glendale golfers 3 to 1. In the next match, Hollywood had little trouble in winning from the locals, 4 to 0, Ralph Kolle of Long Beach halving his match to save the locals from being whitewashed. Fairfax fell an easy victim to the local mashie swingers, but Manual Arts and L. A. High took the team down the line in the next two matches. In a practice game with L. A. Poly, Long Beach had an easy victory, but the following week lost to Belmont High School. Catalina proved an easy setfup in the last practice game, but in the last league match of the year the local five won from Santa Monica, 5 to O. William McNamara played number one man again this season, win' ning nearly all of his matches and showing rare form, especially in driving and putting. Ralph Kolle played the most oonsistent game as number two man, losing but one match although he ran against stiff competition. Vernon Undewvood played number three and did well, showing great accuracy on the greens and fairway. Max Blixt, a new man, improved in every match and showed real ability. Nelson McCook and Donald Camp' bell also played in several matches and did some good work. II Illlll Il III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII II II II lllIllllllllllllllllllmimg The matches played at home were played on the Virginia Country Club course. Five men played in each match, and the team winning the most matches was given one point. TENNIS ECAUSE Caerulea had gone to press before the games started, the results of the tennis team could not be inf cluded. The team was managed by Cliff Burnhill, and Ralph Oliver did the coaching. Positions were decided by a tournament. Captain George Newby had no trouble in winning first place, Vernon Jones played second singles, Wilber Stanley, third singles, and Morris Stimf son, fourth singles. Newby and Stimson played first doubles, and jones and Stanley, second doubles. Ronald Sweet and William Babcock also played at the first of the season but were not on the team because of lack of time for practice. In the first practice game Long Beach defeated Grange, then Hunting' ton Park, and the L. B. Tennis club. The league matches, which consist of the regular Coast League, started with Fullerton. The Oilers were successful in defeating the Rabbit racket wielders by a close margin. Rain postponed many games. Although the locals were not conceded much chance at winning the championship, the team had a chance in the Southern California meet, held on May 9th. Tennis, a comparatively new sport here, has been handicapped by a lack of oourts, but with the proposed new courts at the high school and also at Recreation Park, all signs point to a successful season next year. 94 CAERULEA '25 IIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIllIIIIIIllIIII!IIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllIIII IIIIHIIIllllllllIIIIlllllllllllIlllllIllIIIIlllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllli 1 GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ITH a membership double that of last year, the Girls' Athletic Association is fosf tering sports in the third and greatest year of its exisf tence with Coral Vanstrum, president, G e n e vie v e Squires, first vicefpresidentg Doris Richardson, second vice president, N o r in a is ' Gocke, secretaryftreasurerg Miss Clarinne Llewellyn, faculty adviser. The association sponsors all afterfschool athletics and the various athletic clubs. The greatest under' taking of the year has been the division of all girls into Green and Gold earns, the organization of competitive activities throughout the gym classes, and an afterfschool, free play day. As a result there has been a decided increase in class work and outside athletics. The biggest single event under the direction of the G. A. A. was the seoond annual Play Day, when 400 girls from the Coast League and other invited schools were their guests. They competed in hockey, tennis, volleyball, swimming, and basketball. These games were followed by a lunch and a stuntqprogram. ,S , - .

This and similiar expresions might have been heard at any time on the athletic field during the six weeks of continuous practise of overfarm shots, chest throws, and skelef ton passing, preceding the playfoffs of interfclass basketball games. The juniorfsenior game, which was played after both these squads of casabafshooters had defeated the sophs, was featured by extremely good team work and goal shooting.

The juniors confidently challenged the sophomores, who accepted just as confidently. The result was a close game with a score favorable to the juniors, of 3f2. Arrayed in green and white jackets and led by their barking mascot, the hockey team of '25 sailed out on the field to meet the juniors in the deciding game of the season. The only score was made by the seniors in the nrst few minutes. The juniors gave the senior goal keeper some strenuous exercise, but the final whistle proclaimed the seniors hockey champions for 192425 . By special favor, a picked team played Pasadena's shinfknockers. The best display of hockey was shown in this game and the ball was often pref cariously near either goalg but by clever play a score was averted during the entire game. SOCCER OCCER, the latest girls' sport, is a combination of hockey, football, and fieldball. Inspired by the spirit of rivalry, the girls desired to excel, and as a result, the players in every game exhibited quick passing, good attack, and excellent team work. The skill of class teams seemed to be more on a par in soccer than in any other sport, for the Round Robin had to be played twice, ending in a tie championship between the sophomores and seniors. 200 CAERULEA '25 lllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!IIIllllIIIIIlllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIllllllllllllIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllll VOLLEYBALL OLLEYBALL started the girls' athletic season this year with many good players and enthusif astic girls out.

This year, especially, rivalry was very keen among the conf testing teams because of the uniformity and skilfulness at this volleying game. Playing a 15 point score for two games out of three, the juniors won from the seniors only after they had exerted every effort. The inal match was between the sophomores and the juniors. After several star plays on the parts of Dorothy Barnes, Esther Wilburg, and the cofoperative team, the sophomores fought their way to championship.

Says I, I'll take six shots. Six for a dime, aren't they? Sixteen for a quarter, says she with an eye to business. Shoot the quarterf' says I, and I flop down a new Peace dollar my aunt had given me for Christmas. I take as my target the line of largest ducks. You know what I mean: those moving' ducks that come up at one end of the pond, move across, and dive under as if they are all after the same ish-if ducks eat fish. Anyhow I plug away with my sixteen shots and get fourteen. You're a good shot, states she of the amusement arsenal in a flat' tering way. I'll shoot you eight. I win, you pay. You win, I pay. All right, says I, feeling kinda cocky. I'd made a seventyfthree on the target range the other day and I felt like Daniel Boone, or was it Tom Mix? I always get those two guys mixed. You shoot first, I adds. Good enough, says she and knocks five outa eight of the lead ducks for a goal. Then I up an' bang away and tie her score-five outa eight. H Shoot you eight more, challenges the fair gunner. Loser pays for a . Nope, says I. Take your money. I'm broke now. Oh, come on. Be a sport. Shoot the tie off, she pleads. As I said before she was pretty, I shoot the tie off. I sure did shoot that tie off. It weren't no tie when I got through. She perforates eight straight, and I come through with my usual five outa eight. 9 CAERULEA 25 211 lllllllllIllllllllllllIllllllllIIIIIIIIlIIIIIllIlllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllll lllllll llllll IlllllIIlllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllli HOOTINGQ QALL-ERY . .A Llxiiu 315-2 Shoot some more, urges she, but there's a limit even to a pretty woman's persuasiveness. Besides I really was broke. No, states I, I'm through. She took notice of my dollar for the first time and changed it. It sure looked changed. All I got back was a nickel, and I had a temptation to bite that to see if it was good. But really, don't you know, a guy can't tell any woman to her face that she's dishonest, especially if she's pretty. I ref frained from taxing my teeth to test the nickel, reasoning that it was good enough to fool the conductor, anyhow. Well, I caught the last car home with my last nickel, and what I caught when I got there is none of your business. But take it from me: don't try to shoot against one of them dames in a shootin' gallery. If your weekly allowance is as weak as mine, and if you ain't any better shot than I am, give those Bill Hart sidefshows the gofby. Brains may not go with beauty, nevertheless this dame sure slung a mean slug. You can't beat them any more than you can outfswim a fish, and I oughta known this. If I'd had the backfbone of a snake, I'd have said no the first time she ask me to shoot with her. The only thing that you can do is tie them, and the best way outa that is to pay for all then and there. Unless you're runnin' a shooting gallery, which I think might be profitable, steer clear of them. The moral of this concoction isg A fool and his money are soon parted -in a shootin' gallery. I reckon I weren't fool proof. J IIIIIIIIIIII Illllllllllllllllll FAMOUS BOOKS FAMOUS PEOPLE IM 'Holding Ofhces as A Vocation ......... ........................ 'What I Am To Long Beach ...,....... .
