EX LfltTIS . PRINTED BY THE STUDENTS OF THE PRINTING CLASSES OF THE LONG BEACH POLYTECHNIC HIGH SCHOOL m C4ERULEA VOLUME XXVI PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF THE POLYTECHNIC HIGH SCHOOL LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA, BEING A CHRONICLE OF THEIR ACTIVITIES OF THE YEAR 1929 PREFACE To set a mark on a years history of Polytechnic High School by which all students may remember it — that is the purpose of this yearbook as of all other yearbooks. But the special effort of this one has been to take a new slant on the life of Poly, to play up one side — the side that concerns the ways m which students, as the campus says, work off steam . For the first time,, Caerulea has gathered to print on its pages the things Poly students have made to leave behind them — the craft work they have done, the pictures they have painted, the literature they have written, the scientific prob- lems they have attempted to work out. It is the creative side of the school ' s life that this Caeru- lea has chosen to portray, believing that the things Poly students make to express them- selves — be it with their heads or their hands — and not just the things they learn by rote are the true expression of the ambitions and the ideals of high school life. —The Staff APPRECIATION To Marie Juafiles Preston, for the inspiration of her guidance m student creative expression, the Caerulea of nmeteen-twenty-nine offers grateful appreciation. m.

ADAtlNISTRATICN X ' ?s afp pfjiff r cu i_Tr FACULTY To the men and women of Poly, whose guidance has opened for Poly students new outlooks through creative expression and whose inspira- tion is reflected in all the work of students reproduced herein, we set aside the fiages of this department. PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE Creative effort is the mainspring of all progress. It is a vital responsibility of the school to foster the creative spirit in the youth of today. There are new experiments yet to be tried, new discoveries to he made, new truths to be re- vealed, new institutions of social and civic life to be set up. These forms of progress will be realized in the years that are ahead of us only as a spirit of creative endeavor is awakened m the boys and girls now in school. — David Burcham 20 CAERULEA ' 29 Miss Esther Dayman, dean of girls, who has at once endeared herself to all Poly girls, opening up fascinat ' ing new vistas in outside activities and a definite social program ADMINISTRATIVE Guidance of the individual student toward STAFF constructive thinking and creative expression, with a widened opportunity for participation in school, community, and state — these are two important objectives to- ward which the Administration of Polytechnic High School has been working in the semesters of 1928 and 1929. The affairs of the school are administered through five branches of service, under the vice-principal, the dean of girls, the director of research, the vocational adviser, and the registrar, all working in close cooperation with the principal to form the executive department. Unified and carefully directed effort has ac- complished much toward the attainment of the aims for this year. Harry J. Moore, vice-prin- cipal, counselor, athletic sponsor, Boys 1 League ad- viser, and honored repre- sentative of Poly as presi- dent of the Southern Cali- fornia Vice Principals 1 As- sociation for 1929 — these titles reveal the manifold duties and achievements of the man in the outer office.

The classification of these letters was decided at the student body election as follows: eight inch letters shall be awarded to the five major sports: football, basketball, base ball, track, and aquatics, while other varsity sports and class B sports shall receive the six inch letter; and class C sports, the five and one-half inch size. To help bring about official sanction of dancing in Poly, the commis- sioner of affairs appointed a committee to place the matter before the P. T. A. The commissioner of safety supervised an investigation of cafeteria food and aided the fire department in conducting drills efficiently. At suggestion of the commissioner of athletics, it was decided that teams win- ning sectional championships should be given life passes. Through the efforts of the commissioner of welfare, one-hundred dollars were appro- priated for improvements in the Girls 1 League cabin. On motion of the commissioner of arts, it was voted to award debate letters to students participating in two inter-class debates and one interscholastic debate.

The revised sys- tem will go into effect at the begin ning of the fall term. Through the efforts of Wayne Rapp, commissioner of affairs, a rally assembly was held March 11 in order to stimulate interest in the school bond election. Joe Hardin, commissioner of safety, investigatd the school bus service and attempted to better the service in several lines. At the suggestion of Edward Mitchell, commissioner of athletics, commission voted to award the 1929 varsity basketball team life passes admitting to all future games in this sport. The commissioner of welfare, Clarice Faa, was in charge of a joint meeting and luncheon with the Woodrow Wilson Board of Governors in the Social Hall. On motion of Virginia Peterson, commissioner of arts, the debate budget was raised forty dollars, and here- after the debate team will be privileged to wear L sweaters with a special debate insignia. The amount of one hundred dollars was also voted for the Jane Harnett Memorial Fund. In March, the old and new commissions enjoyed a banquet at the Pat- ricia Inn, and later in the semester, the spring commission held its annual banquet with the lettermen. 30 CAERULEA ' 29  1 Betty Macaulav, president; Julia Ann Goodman, Vice-President; Harriet Kreyssler, Re- cording Sec; Shirley Ward, Corresponding Sec; Clarice Faa, Treasurer; Esther A. Dayman, Adviser GIRLS ' LEAGUE Under the guidance of a capable executive board 19 2 8 and with the cooperation of the Advisory Board, the 1928 semester of the Girls ' League work was closed by adoption of important resolutions governing school citizenship. Among the many activities of the year, the welfare committee con- ducted the school ' s most successful Thanksgiving and Christmas drives for the relief of the needy. A fashion show managed by the program committee netted seventy dollars, and several faculty teas and birthday parties were given by the friendship committee. By means of a Masque and Sandal assembly, a cook book sale and assistance from commission, the cabin committee was able to finance improvements for the Girls ' League cabin. To beautify the Girls ' League room, the picture and art committee purchased several handsome vases. Another project was the decoration of Social Hall on several occasions. The uniform board functioned efficiently during the term. Back Row; C. Hinckley, Miss Hess (adviser), C. Tucker Second Row: .1. Goodman, A. Espey. T. Rolo, H. Kennedy, A. Smith First Row; M.

Dayman, Adviser GIRLS ' LEAGUE Concluding the semester ' s activities in a memor- 19 2 9 able way, the Girls ' League of 1929 centered all its efforts on the May Day festivities. On May morn- ing through the work of the picture committee, surprise corsages were presented to the women of the faculty and boutonnieres to the men. Later, the welfare committee held a children ' s playground. A wash dress contest was successfully staged and prizes were awarded by the uniform board. The events of the day culminated in a beautiful mothers ' and daughters ' banquet held in the school cafeteria. The activities of the League this semester included the establishment of a Girls ' League library, the working out of welfare projects at Amer icaniz,ation centers, the placing of a loan fund strong box in the office, and the organization of a Girls ' League orchestra. With the aid of section representatives, the uniform board installed an efficient new system of double ' check that brought excellent results. Members of the executive board visited the junior high schools in the interests of the League. Back Row: Miss Dayman, (Dean of Girls); V. Winthrop, .. Travers, K. Leach, M. Vogll, T. Rolo, V.

These projects were passed in the mid-year student body election. Pep assemblies to arouse interest in football and basketball were staged by the League. The major assembly was held on the bleachers, when the students were privileged to hear Dick Rutherford, prominent alumnus of the University of Nebraska. The old tradition of an annual father and son banquet was revived this year and proved to be a huge success. All the letter-men were presented with their athletic L ' s, and Coach Howard Jones, of U. S. C, spoke. The police force, captained by Tom McNeely, attacked the problem of keeping order in the cafeteria and assemblies with such vigor that a change was noticeable almost immediately. The force also successfully managed the rooting sections and preserved orderly conduct. STUDENT POLICE ' 28 Ch ief McNeely W . Rapp R. Dunn F. Mettler O. Elder J. Hardin D. Wilson L. Landes M.

BOYS ' LEAGUE Improvement of playground equipment at the 19 2 9 Mirasol school was one of the many projects under- taken by the Boys ' League of 1929. To arouse pep for the basketball season, a big outdoor assembly was presented by the League; Wayne Middough, popular Poly alumunus, headed the program, and one of the yell leaders from the University of Southern California helped to stimulate spirit. For the benefit of the Jane Harnett Fund an assembly was presented. Another project was the appointment by Presi- dent Loyd Landes of representatives to sell Caerulea tickets in sophomore sections. The 1929 student police force was capably headed by Bill Voorhees and Joe Hardin, assistant. At the request of Mr. Burcham, the police undertook a new project of helping to keep the campus clean. As a result, a decided change was noticeable in the appearance of grounds and build- ings The force also policed the cafeteria lines and helped to preserve order in assemblies.

STUDENT BODY Students in quest of a choc malt or a DD1 map STORE seldom stop to think of the important part that the student body store plays in Poly activities. At least two thousand students are served daily and receive courteous attention at fountain, candy-counter, or school supplies department. Although the fountain has been most patronised, the supplies department can boast the sale of 18,350 maps during the year, and of other supplies in proportion. During the past two semesters, the store force has taken instructive trips through several Long Beach factories, among which were the plants of the People ' s Ice Company and the National Biscuit Company. At the an- nual banquet, pins were awarded students completing a year of service. For the success of this year ' s work much credit is due Miss Meta B. Bergen and Miss Vivien Seton, advisers.

CAFETERIA Functioning under the management of a skilled work ' staff, the cafeteria served nearly eighteen hundred stu- dents daily. The Poly cafeteria is one of the few that serve students from twelve lines of service; eight steam tables serve hot food within the cafe teria, and four hand-out lines are patronised by quick ' lunchers. On the force are fifteen women, working full time, and twenty-three students, both cashiers and waiters, who assist part time. According to Miss Mil- dred Druschel, cafeteria manager, the Poly lunchroom offers the best ser- vice in Southern California. Special apparatus, such as steam-jacketed kettles, trunions, and electrically run machines help to make it worthy of praise. In order to facilitate the use of the hall for banquets, attractive curtains were purchased that partitioned off part of the large space and enabled small groups to hold banquets with more comfort. Another factor to increase the comfort of Poly diners was the student police, who maintained order during lunch periods. STUDENT ADMINISTRATION 37 FIRE Capably headed by Ed Hagen, commissioner of DEPARTMENT safety, and Emil te Groen, chief, the 1928 fire squad conducted drills in record time. Captains were Chubby Crane, Walter McLaughlin, Bernie Harvey, Lenneaus Bridges, and Linwood Howe, who were assisted by fifteen lieutenants and sixty-two firemen. Thelma Dix served as girls 1 fire captain, with Arlene Roepke, Marie Hall, Vivienne and Veatrice Buttler as lieutenants. During the spring semester, Joe Hardin, safety commissioner, and Chubby Crane, chief, with Otis Brown assisting, concentrated their efforts in selecting capable and experienced men. Captains were Wayne Rapp, Emil te Groen, Ed Hagen, Walter McLaughlin, and Lenneaus Bridges. Completing the boys ' squad were fifteen lieutenants and sixty- five fire-fighters. The 1929 girls 1 fire captain was Madeline O ' Brien. Lieutenants were Betty Macaulay, Martha Summers, Ruth Bartow, Betty Stone, and Shirley Ward. 38 CAERULEA ' 29 Back Row — D. Hammond. D.

The success of both junior and senior plays was due in part to the efforts of the group, who were at the service of students fifth and sixth periods. Transaction of business was supervised by Paul E. Millar, who not only acted in the capacity of adviser, but also instructed the boys in sales- manship. Lyman Lough, who has been a ticket seller for the past two years, was manager, accomplishing a great deal with his small but efficient staff. LOST AND Closing its busy year of student service, Lost and FOUND Found staged an auction in the auditorium to sell all articles unclaimed. Strict maintenance of rules and careful checking aided hundreds of students in reclaiming their lost articles from the smallest pin to a green silk umbrella. Most efficient and careful service was rendered to the student body under the guidance of Madeline O ' Brien, 1928 commissioner of welfare. As the succeeding commissioner of welfare, Clarice Faa soon had work under way. Assist ' ants for both semesters not in the picture were Audrey Shulz, Frances Hearn, Dorothy Smith, Alice McCrindle, Betty Macaulay, Dorothy Rich- ner, Marguerite Goldman, Ja Goodman, Jean Green. STUDENT ADMINISTRATION 39 Mrs. Margaret Macintosh Miss Ethel Scott JANE HARNETT FUND MiSi IliiriK-tt In the pursuit of further education many students have been aided by the Jane Harnett Fund, which is most patronized by alumni, although its bene- fits are open to undergraduates. Several students were assisted by the fund during the year. All were college students with the exception of two boys who are working their way through high school. Established nine years ago, the fund has become a reminder of its founder, Miss Jane Harnett, who is memorialized by Principal David Burcham in these words: The Jane Harnett Memorial Fund, which is devoted to the encourage- ment and assistance of worthy young people in their pursuit of an educa- tion, is a well-merited tribute to a great teacher, who devoted her life to ' his same high purpose and for whom the fund has been fittingly named. During the year of 1928-1929, the fund received enthusiastic support from the various organizations of the school. The Junior Exchange Club contributed by staging a feature basketball game that was very successful. During Christmas season, the Thumbtack Club netted twelve dollars through the sale of attractively made novelties. With its usual generosity the Lion ' s Club of this city presented the student body with one hundred dollars that swelled the donations considerably. A tag day under the auspices of the commission renewed interest in the fund and its purpose. Miss Josephine Moulton ' s 4A English class entered a local essay contest and, by producing a prize-winning essay, made a donation of five dollars. The graduation class of June, 1928, turned over all money remaining in its treasury to the Harnett Fund. The Boys ' League, the Girls ' League, and the Girls ' Athletic Association have contributed this year. Administrators of the fund are Mr. Burcham, chairman; Miss Burke, investigator; Mrs. Macintosh, secretary; and Miss Scott, treasurer. STUDENT BODY tv. 42 CAERULEA ' 29 i A% An P. DiWay, president; B.

JUNIOR With Odie Wright of oratorical fame serving as a capable CLASS president and the officers presented above ably assisting, the junior class completed a year signally successful in many lines of student activity. In the opera, The Fortune Teller , Rollin Calkin brought honor to his class by his portrayal of the role of Sandor, the male lead. The class dramatic production, Bab , was pronounced of peculiar excellence. An unusual situation was created by the fact that there were two male leads, Bob Tarry and Dick Yeamans, playing opposite Gleam Hall in the title role. Other members of the cast were Veatrice Buttler, Charles Mull, Texas Dalton, Doris Taylor, Jack Gray, Lorraine McClung, Gordon Wheeler, and Mack Halliday. Representing the junior class in the varsity football squad were Sharkey Mitchell, Cordover Vance, Bob Fuhrer, Linwood Howe, Cecil Story, Pete Wucetich, Wayne Rapp, and Loren Harrison. Class A squad claimed Harry Allen, Ralph Bradley, Robert Carlton, Saxon Elliot, Homer Heller, Everett Morris, Jack Pitts, Elved Rowlands, Bernard Hirshfield, and Captain Art Waterman. Those on the ' Class B squad were Ed Davies, Bill Farrell, Wayne Kessler, Bill Mooney, Musty Olson, Bob Parke, and Duane Taylor. Junior representatives on the Class C team were Loren Buckman, Wayne Compton, Captain Dick Deeble, and Arthur Vandecar. The varsity basketball team included one lone junior, Sharkey Mitchell. Those on the Class B team were Frank Daly, Ernest Holbrook, Bob Parke, Byron Taylor, John Wells, Barton Smith, and Jack Diamond. Sharkey Mitchell and Wayne Rapp, were commissioners of athletics and affairs respectively. Margaret Wheeler was associate editor of Caerulea. Other members of the yearbook staff were Betty Reid, Stanley Merryfield, Texas Dalton, Martha Sherwin, Dorothy O ' Toole, Alice Weaver and Wendell Sether. Texas Dalton, Erla Page, and Margaret Wheeler held down positions on the High Life staff. CLASSES 81 4A J. B. Stone, President; _:. Jones, Vice-President; D. Williams, Secretary; W. Gould, ' i urer; V. Lacy, Adviser; L . Hair, Adviser SOPHOMORE Setting a precedent in Poly High by the choosing of CLASS Thorough Preparation as a slogan, the class of 31 made a good start in high school life. Many of the members excelled in athletics, dramatics, oratory, and leadership. The sophomores were well represented on the different football and basketball teams, having one representative, Norman Franklin, who was a member of the varsity football eleven. Franklin, famous redhead speedster, brought something new in the way of honor to the sophomore classes when he was made captain-elect of the varsity football team for ' 29. Class members who played on the class A football team were Bernard Kirkfield and Louis Sharland. The sophomores were represented on the class B team by Wilber Crane, Jack Diamond, John Morrow, Barton Smith and Russell Sweet. Class C team athletes were Orval Aspey, Elton Borden, Bernie Fitzgerald, John Gillespie, Emmett Moan, Murle Smith, Howard Taylor, Malcolm Taylor, Clinton Wilson and Seymour Janow. Harvey Rescoe made the Class B basketball team. Sophomores playing the Class C team were Harvey Rescoe, Orvil Aspey, Edward Gauhaun. Merle Howord, and Earl Kennick. A signal honor came to the class when Marjorie Forsyth, in com- petition with over seven hundred other Poly students, won the local Constitional Oratorical Contest and later the southern counties contest held at San Diego. For the second consecutive year, a sophomore repre- sented Polytechnic High School in the all-California met at the Bovard Auditorium, U. S. C. Marjorie also had the distinction of being the first girl to win the oratorical contest in Poly High. Entering from Miss Bart ' lett ' s 2A English class, her subject was ' The Constitution, the Supreme Expression of Democracy. 82 CAERULEA ' 29 C. Hammond, President; H. Bridges, Vice-President, S. Nixon, Secretary; C. Boice, Treas- urer; D. Burcham, Adviser; Miss Dayman, Adviser; Mr. Just, Adviser ALUMNI Commemorating Mr. BurchanTs twenty-one years ASSOCIATION as principal, the Polytechnic High School Alumni As- sociation presented him with a fountain pen and pencil set at a school bond rally and banquet held Tuesday, March 5, in Social Hall. Eloquent tributes to Mr. Burcham were paid by Clyde Doyle, ban- quet chairman; Eugene E. Tincher, who made the presentation; Douglas A. Newcdmb, head of the Long Beach Principals ' Club; and Superintend- ent W. L. Stephens. Clare Hammond, president of the association, pledged the support of the group for the school bonds. Other alumni speaking in favor of the bonds were Harry Buffum, Tom DeCoudres, and Clyde Doyle. Mrs. John M. Edgar, H. B. Clifton, Melvin Neel, and Eugene I. Fisher, members of the Board of Education, briefly urged the hearty sup- port of the bonds. The alumni campaign committee was in large measure responsible for the success of the election, which carried eleven to one. It is a notable fact that no matter how far Polyites wander from Long Beach they remain true to their high school and are always eager to return. Most enjoyable among all annual activities of the Alumni Association is the reunion held sometime in May, when the old grads return to visit Poly teachers and students and gather in the evening at a jolly banquet. When Caerulea went to press, plans were under way for the 1929 event. CRC iNIZ4TICN 86 CAERULEA ' 29 ft ? f n «4 H. L,uck, President; C. Faa, Vice-President; B. Reid, Secretary; S.

The Knight of Piney Woods by Arthur MacLean, The Impertinence of the Creature , Good Medicine by Jack Arnold and Edwin Burke, and Miss Civilization by Richard Harding Davis were the plays given before the student body. Membership in Masque and Sandal is restricted to students talented in dramatics who are successful in the club try-outs. The club is organized as a class, and the members are constantly training for parts in productions staged by the group. Masque and Sandal is at once an honorary dramatic society, a class, a social group, and an important factor in replenishing the student body funds and in furnishing entertainment for visitors of the school and for radio audiences. Social events of the year included a theater party in February to see The Swan , a party for Masque and Sandal members, and the senior play cast party at the Signal Hill Club House in December. Officers for the year were Ralph Dunn and Ralph Garrison, presi- dents; Thelma Dix and Sara Louise Sherman, vice-presidents; Marie Hall and Babette Jenne, secretary-treasurers; Betty Stone and Elsie Klatt, mana- gers of radio plays.

The material here has come from every corner of the campus, each de ' partment selecting the cream of its creative work. Caerulea ' s aim has been to make a unique and colorful panorama reproducing through every medium the ideals of the school and its students. ENGLISH Sponsoring, as its primary creative projects the Caerulea literary contest and Writers 1 Club try-outs, the English department has for years encouraged student creative production. This year prizes were offered for short stories, essays, poems, and one-act plays in the literary contest, judged by English teachers. First prize manuscripts are published herein. Winners of second prizes and of first and second honorable mentions were as follows: story — Carolyn Pickett, Wendell Sether, Marie Gillespie; essay — Carolyn Pickett, Janet Carpenter, Evelyn Able; poetry — Gladys Howell, May Wein, Wendell Sether; play — Billy Gamble (first honorable mention). Prov- ing their versatility, Writers ' Club members, sponsored by Miss Marie Preston and Miss Eleanor Pooley, were accorded numerous honors, as their story on page 89 will show. At Caerulea ' s press date, the Scholastic Magazine announced third prize for poetry and first prize for book reviews in its national contest to Walter McElroy. Student honors attained in journalism di- rected by John J. Frisch; in forensics under coaches McCay, Gleditzsch, and Jamison; and in dramatic art under Lillian V. Breed, as recorded on other pages, have all brought credit to the department. A signal achievement was the publication, for last summers Pacific Southwest Exposition, of ten thousand copies of a Hiffh School Verse , containing beside other Doems of Poly students, reprints from the Magazine World, the Lyric West, Gleam, and the Scholastic.

The excerpt here printed takes up the narrative at the approach from the west to the beautiful Wind Kiver Mountains in Wyoming-. The Wind River Mountains — that name is music and romance and adventure to me. I was born and reared on the other side of the Wind River Range. I had seen them every day of my life, a distant fairy blue, the tall peaks silvered with snow. I had seen the sun rise over those Deaks in loveliness far beyond that of the rainbow. All through my childhood had been mingled stories of Indians, rustlers, fur traders, and rounduDS in the land beyond the Wind River. It had been three years since I had last looked at them. One of the many reasons this trip meant so much to me was that I was to see my mountains again — see them close and from the unknown side. As we entered the valley, I stared hard at them. They were lovely as on the other side but different — purple instead of blue — protecting with their tall grace the valley from the chilling west winds that so frequently make life miserable in other parts of the state. After paying silent tribute to my mountains, I turned to the valley. Three things struck me especially, because of their rarity in most of Wyoming: the warm softness of the at- mosphere, the greenery, and the frequent streams. All were due to the guarding mountains. There were even fields of grain and orchards, almost as uncommon in Wyoming as polar bears in Africa. The next day we went up into the Wind River. Range by way of Great South Pass. As soon as we reached the foothills, we had the road entirely to ourselves. It led up one side of the pass and shone, a bright red, contrasted against the green of the forest-covered canyon and moun- tain sides. After driving for some time through the warm, still forest, we began to see long trenches dug all over the hills. These were some of the old placer minings; for, in addition to having been the gap by which all the frontier folk traversed the range, South Pass was once the scene of a great gold mining excitement. Numerous old camps are strewn through there. CREATIVE EXPRESSION 105 South Pass City was the first on our road. It comprised a collection of ancient shacks and a general store, still functioning. Seated on the porch of the store, soaking up the sunshine, was a group of old men, who had probably been there since the gold rush. They looked it — so tranquilly motionless, not even talking; just petrifying comfortably in the eternal peace of the hills. Beyond South Pass City old trails led off everywhere from the main road to the mining towns. We turned up a few of them and examined the camps. They were much alike: rough shacks with windows and doors gone, plants growing up through the floors and everything in a state of decay. The only living creatures in sight were the old fellows, of whom there were one or two in every town. They looked past us with complete disinterest. They never spoke or did anything to make us believe they were aware of our presence. Having satisfied our curiosity about the gold mines, we drove on up the pass. At the beginning of the day I had been a little disappointed. My only knowledge of the pass was from a few lines in Mark Twain, wherein he speaks of going through there on a stage coach and seeing bison, deer, and painted Indians on the war path. Unconsciously I had been expecting to see something of the sort also, and felt cheated when I did not. The abandoned mining camps and the primeval solitude en- compassing us, once we passed them, smoothed away all feelings of dis- satisfaction. I wished only that I might stay in those surroundings forever. Late in the afternoon we reached the end of the pass and came out upon the summit of the Wind River Range. A great plain with oddly-shaped peaks and buttes scattered over it met our eyes. Our road led straight across it into the set ting sun. I was all for going on and on, like Columbus in the poem; but the arbiter of destinies in the person of Dad said no. We had to turn around and return to civilization and schools. So we went back through the pass in the golden sadness of the sunset, down the bril- liant red road with the vivid green on either side and the piercing blue overhead. I was sad at leaving, but happy too — happy because I had found a place I could come back to at any time and find solitude and peace — the Great South Pass. 106 CAERULEA ' 29 WHAT PRICE GLORIA? By Marie Gillespie Hello, drawled a soft voice. The man at the desk stopped chewing on his cigar, peered over his eye-glasses, and surveyed the vision with mixed bewilderment and anger. Hello again, 11 repeated the vision. Are you the city editor? Yes! 11 he growled. What did you think I am, the office boy? He glanced at the girl. As though suddenly remembering something, he op- ened a rapid-fire volley of questions. How did you get in here? Cant you read the sign on the door, ' No Admittance 1 ? And last but not least — what in the name of a stuffed tur- tle do you want? he barked in one breath. The girl gased at him with mild surprise. We ' ll, first of all, she replied calmly, I came here by a simple process of perambulation. I walked. Furthermore, I never read signs. Many a good man ' s career has been ruined by signs. And as for why I came — why — er — ah I came to see you. Oh, you did, did you? he replied in a somewhat milder tone. The girl ' s slow, deliberate drawl irritated him. Do you want a good reporter? she asked. Do I want a good reporter? he answered with sacherine sweet- ness. I ' d pawn my eye-teeth for a good reporter. I ' d give him half my fortune. Shades of Johesophat! My reporters are so green that if they lived on a farm, the cows would eat them. You bet, I want a good re- porter! If you know of one— just send him around! That ' s just what I thought; she drawled nonchalantly, so here am. Oh, you don ' t say! he exclaimed menacingly. How interesting. And what can you do? Why, I ' m a first-rate reporter, she intoned languidly. I want a job. M-m-m-m, he pondered. Ye gods! he ' d like to shoot that girl for the way she talked. You ' d think she was going to a funeral. What ' s your name? he continued. Gloria Van Hueten, and I ' m from New Orleans, she responded. Yes? sneered Mr. City Editor, New Orleans is a mighty nice town — Too bad you left there. Well, I ' m afraid I can ' t use you. He shuffled the papers on his desk as though closing the interview. CREATIVE EXPRESSION 107 But our heroine was not to be thus daunted. Maybe you want a good typist or a stenographer. I can type and — ■ Quite accomplished, aren ' t you? ' he cut in. Great guns! The girl was persistent. He was silent for; a moment. Ah! He had an inspiration. He knew how to get rid of her. I ' ll make a bargain with you, he offered af- fably. You go down to the City Hall and get a story about the new graft scandal. If you get it, 111 give you the job. But — be sure you get it in before three o ' clock All right, it ' s a bargain! she agreed brightly. She glanced at her watch. Eleven o ' clock, she continued. I ' ll be back around two. The city editor laughed to himself. That crowd at the City Hall was as close-mouthed as a clam at low water. Even his star reporter couldn ' t get a word out of them. It was really too bad to send the girl on a fool ' s errand, but he couldn ' t be bothered by rookies. Well, goodby and good luck, he offered genially. Goodby, she smiled. She turned and left the room. Stopping outside the door, she gazed at the name-plate. It announced to the world in shining letters— Otto B. Sweet— City Editor . Yes, she said cynically. But he isn ' t. Within twenty minutes she arrived at the City Hall. She entered a door marked Information . I wish to see the chief of police, she re- quested of the stolid looking youth behind the desk. Sorry, but he ' s out, replied the clerk without looking up. Oh, dear me, cried Gloria, how perfectly disgusting. He stopped his work and looked up at Gloria. He may be in any min- ute, he smiled. Have a seat and wait for him. Southerner, aren ' t your Yes, answered Gloria. From New Orleans. Not ' really? he exclaimed. So am I. Why, how lovely, trilled Gloria in her most ingratiating manner. It certainly seems nice to meet someone from your home town. I have- n ' t been here long, and I don ' t know a single soul. The clerk was a well-meaning youth. His name was Clarence, and he wore horn-rimmed glasses. His life in the strange city had not been altogether as pleasant as it might have been. To meet someone, especially a charming! young lady, from his native town seemed heavenly. They chatted merrily. Before Gloria had been talking to him for ten 108 CAERULEA ' 29 minutes, she knew his family history, his past, present, and hopes for the future. He didn ' t intend to stay in his present position long. It was too ' dry ' , as he termed it. Clarence wanted to be a detective. How perfectly wonderful! exclaimed Gloria. I ' d just love to do something like that. I ' m sure you ' d make a great detective! I have a kind of a knack for that sort of thing, he confessed. You see, I study at night. You ' d be surprised at the thing ' s I find out. Really? breathed Gloria ecstatically. Do go on; I ' m so interested! Clarence blossomed under Gloria ' s dazzling smile It wasn ' t often that he had someone to confide his secrets to. He drew his chair closer to the girl ' s, and began to talk in a lowered voice. Oh, isn ' t that terrible! she exclaimed. And a man in his high position too! Yes, and just think, over a million dollars gone! continued Clarence. You don ' t think the district attorney I know it for a fact, and they know I know it, he asserted. I have the records to show it. Why I helped audit the books for three weeks. If I ever let this out and they knew it — gosh! that bunch would shoot me! Gloria glanced at her watch. Goodness, she exclaimed, ten min- utes past two I ' ve got to go. You really don ' t know how interested I ' ve been in your talk! Well goodbye, and I hope I see you again. She hailed a taxi-cab, and sped to the newspaper office. After fifteen minutes of pounding a typewriter, she took her finished masterpiece and boldly marched into the presence of the city editor. What! You back? he shouted, his cigar dropping from his mouth Of course, drawled our heroine. Here ' s the story. He took the story and began to scan it over. His eyes grew round; his jaw dropped. He whistled softly. Well, what do you think of it? queried Gloria. How in the name of a pink poodle did you do it? he gasped. Great guns, girl! This is the biggest scoop since the battle of Waterloo! Well, Mr. Sweet, nonchalantly, Do I get the job? Will — will you accept it? beamed Mr. Sweet, endeavoring to be more worthy of his name. Girl, you ' re a wonder! Just wait till this gets into print! Just wait till the editor of The World sees it Gee! He ' ll commit suicide! Er — ah — what will my er — ah salary be? drawled the practical Miss Van Hueten. Name it! he chuckled. What price, Gloria? CREATIVE EXPRESSION 109 MUSIC Fortune Climaxing the year ' s achievements in interpretative and Teller creative work, the combined glee clubs and orchestra under ' took the production of Victor Herbert ' s gypsy light opera, The Fortune Teller . Given under the auspices of the music department, the opera offered opportunities for an extensive program of creative work in many departments. Scenic effects were executed by the woodshop classes; art posters were designed by Poly artists ;ballet numbers and inter- pretative solo dance compositions were created by rhythms classes. Above all ,the distinctive interpretations of roles rendered the production creative. Harmony Offering Classes selections of their own compositions, members of Mrs. Marian Higgins ' har- mony classes appeared be ' fore the Teachers ' Institute December 19. Their num- bers were marked by a va- riety of moods ranging from light fancy to wistful melancholy and by a per- fection of technique amaZ ' ing for amateurs. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19 9:30 A. M.

The idea underlying the theory of rythmic dancing is the expression of emotion through muscular control. Rythmic dancing is totally outside the field of ballet and step work; and since it is an expressive form of dancing, it is most truly creative. All the compositions in the recital were original and presented by the girls who created them. Among the most interesting numbers were a frieze pat ' terned after trees, an Oriental fire dance, a slave problem, and a clever dance aptly called, Grotesque .

Creative work, of course, is done in the Radio Research di- vision. Four years ago, the radio re- search department built its first thermionic ABC Battery Eli- minator; but the department real- ized that it was too expensive and consumed too much power. A year of experimenting produced an ABC Battery Eliminator which could be built for $29.50 and con- sumed only 35 watts of power. This same eliminator even more improved can now be built for less than $20.00. Two years ago the eliminator was adapted to a single dial three-tube Roberts circuit (also im- proved by many experi- ments). Then the entire set (total weight, 22 pounds) was placed above a large cone loud-speaker. Thus the Chandelier Ra- dio , pictured here, was created. One of its most apparent advantages is the complete elimina- tion of the cabinet. For three years the advanced ra- dio classes have been experiment- ing to create a pocket radio which would operate from a loop carried within the clothing. Though crystal receivers were satisfactory for locals with a large aerial or good ground, they are unsuited to reliable reception on a loop only.

Because of the great sensitivity of the circuit, the radio department adapted it to a loop antenna and the pocket radio. This radio can be produced on a factory basis to sell for $15.00 or less, and if pres- ent plans are carried out, will be available to anyone desiring con- tact with a broadcast station while on his regular routine. The Farrand Modernizer is a device designed and con- structed by Mr. Farrand with assistance of Wendell Beardslee, who is now manufacturing it com- mercially. Its purpose is to make the old radio perform like a new one. To do this, interference of strong local is «ei o %[ ■■ •■■. ; a-... e, yaw stations had to be cut out; the an- tenna circuit so constructed that volume of weak distant stations was increased; the circuit so de- signed as not to absorb the distant station with the strong local; the signal to static ratio increased: the moderniz,er so designed that only the station desired could be amplified; and made small enough to be placed inside any receiver. All of these things, and more, were accomplished. These projects were but a few of the creative achievements of Poly radio students. Re- cently the Radio Club com- pleted an All Purpose Ra- dio which picks up and amplifies speech, phono- graph, or broadcast trans- mission; and with altera- tion will transmit speech, music, and code. 118 CAERULEA ' 29 Above: Drawing by Charline Wood done with a compass Below: Geometric design used in church windows, by Ma rgaret Wheeler Designs con ' ceived and ex ' ecuted by stu- dents of geom- etric figures to art MATHEMATICS T HtO— ITT0 SCIENCE :A fe.

No less out- standing for creative work than High Life were Acacia, which burst forth upon the delighted cam- pus in gay red and white, and Caerulea itself, which is the product of a year ' s labor of gathering crea-, t i v e material from e v e r y[ corner of Poly. High Life first scored at the fall convention of the Southern California Press Association, where a news story by Dorothy Smith won first prize. In April a delegation returned from the con- vention held under the auspices of Delta Sigma Chi, international press fraternity, at Berkeley with a SPECIAL SCHOOL BOND EDITION ELECTION DATE SPURS BOND WORKERS ' EFFORTS silver cup for Edmund Swanson ' s interview with Lindbergh, which Professor Raymond of the univer- sity rated worthy of a city paper. At the Southern California High School Press Convention in Los Angeles, High Life was awarded three first places for front page make-up, news story, and hu- mor. Another outs tanding creative achievement of the Poly news- paper was the bond campaign edition, 5 copies being printed and distributed to Long Beach students. Acacia, prod- uct of three d e p artments: English, art, and industrial arts, was expected to win high honors in the National Scholastic Press Association contest. As for Caerulea, the staff modestly per- mits it to speak for itself. All three projects owed their excellence in make-up and typog- raphy to Robert R. Lynns print- ing classes. 1 20 CAERULEA ' 29 MODERN LANGUAGE Editor ' s note: Joining - the world fellowship movement, tipper division classes of the modern language department under the sponsorship of Miss Lamb, head, and the department teachers, present here their report on actual correspondence with foreign students. Bits of news here discussed are from actual translations of letters received. International About time you got here, chided chair Correspondence Club man Wylie Stout as a group of students trooped in at the door. Will the meeting please come to order. If there is no business, we will start on our monthly travelogue. Ruth, what ' s the news from Ecuador? I hear you ' ve a new friend there. Correct, Mr. Chairman. His name is Mario, he hails from Balahoyo, and his father ' s an hacendado, proprietor of a theatre, and a lawyer all in one! Mario is studying medicine at the University of Guayaquil. I ' ve an ambitious friend too, broke in Esther. Jean wishes to become an engineer. His home is in Perigueaux, Southern France, and one of his favorite pastimes is bicycling. That must be catching, smiled Rosa Lee. Bicycling is also very popular in Germany, according to Margaret, Cohn of Zittau, who owns a bike of her own. Margaret is studying to be a teacher. I also have another friend in Zittau Herta ' s father owns a large electricity factory, two cars, a motorcycle, a villa, and a few other little things like that. Not so bad, said Nancy. But speaking of teaching, Yvonne, my correspondent in Rodez,, Southern France, also wishes to become a teacher. She likes the movies, and imagine, she has seen Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin, and Mae Murray, not to mention the fact that she is studying Shakespeare. That certainly is a coincidence, exclaimed Esther. Paulette, to whom I write in Vendome, France, is studying to be a school-mistress, as she expresses it, and mentions reading Shakespeare, also Wordsworth ' s We Are Seven. And she seems to have fallen for stamp collecting. By the way, interrupted Margaret, Francisca Moran sends the thanks of the teachers and the pupils of her school in Zacatecas, Mexico, CREATIVE EXPRESSION 121 for the silk American flags the fourth year Spanish class sent to them as a gift. They are going to use them to decorate the schoolrooms. Lindbergh isn ' t the only one who is promoting friendly relations with Mexico, offered Byron. The newspapers should give us credit. credit. Well, I ' m next, exclaimed Carl. Axel Carlander, my boy friend in Paris, demands a hearing! Axel studies Greek and Latin — digest that, if possible — and is a scout in the 6th Parisian Troop. And I, fellow students, wish to chalk up another by the name of Claudio Trejos, San Jose, Costa Rica, for the indoor sport of collecting stamps, heretofore mentioned. Claudio has six brothers, one studying medicine in Belgium, and the family owns a Buick car. Mr. Chairman, Edna and I would like to tell about our correspond- ents, spoke up Lulu Belle. It ' s getting pretty late, girls. Well hear from you next time. After all, said Margaret in her eager manner, I guess the true measurement of the world is not in miles, that seem to separate, but in interests, that seem to unite. Here tonight we have seen the similarity of ambitions and amusements among the boys and girls of many countries, and — shining through all — the courage and spirit of youth. In the words of my correspondent, Alberta Rico, from old La Vega, Santo Domingo. I am in the age of ambitions, the age of no preoccupations, no worries, when the most difficult seems very sweet and swift — Youth — Youth! divine years — How fast you are going, speeding away! When I wish to weep I can find no tears — And yet they come when I would be gay. — John Gibb, Spanish 4a jjuventud, divino tesoro Y te vas para no volver!

ASCANIUS EXPRESSES HIS ANCIENT SENTIMENTS IN MODERN LANGUAGE By Frances Hancock Latin 4a; Miss Kimball, teacher Moving again! Gemini, since the pater and I got fired out of Troy, we don ' t stay any one place long enough to get acquainted. Today that Mercury Kid brought us a message from old Jupiter telling us to get out of here at once. But I ' m not sorry, although I wish I could have stayed here in Carthage a little longer — I want to try one more hunting trip. That last one was a dud , but I ' ll never forget how old lady Dido looked after that storm struck her. She isn ' t much to look at, at anytime; but — oh boy! you ought to see her when she ' s soaking wet, with her glad rags all sorry and sticking to her like an X ' ray film. Old Dido gets my goat. She ' s crazy about the pater and takes it out on me. Takes me in her lap — kisses me and — gee whiz;, I don ' t like the old flapper anyway! If she doesn ' t quit I ' ll tell the mater about how she carries on. Golly, I wish Ma were moving with us. I sure would like to see her again. Well, may be in this new place I ' ll find some lions or bears or elephants to hunt. Here comes Dad again; so I guess I ' d better mosey on to bed. Pa thinks some one put Jove next to Dido ' s doings — I wonder who got wise to her being crazy about the old man. But when Jupiter tells you to move, you ' ve got to beat it or there ' ll be trouble. Well I hope there are no women at the next place we live. They can ' t hunt or fish or play games. All they can do is to doll up and vamp the pater Ho hum — I ' m sleepy ....

Elerding Latin 3a, Miss Rau, Teach.er O the times, O the customs. Poly knows these things, the faculty perceives them, and yet these girls live. Live? Nay, more! They even come on the campus and mark with their eyes innocent victims for their destruction. But we, brave men, do enough for Poly if we survive the wiles and the smiles of these girls. How long, O girl of Poly, till you adorn your limbs with the simple form of wearing apparel, the stocking? How long, I say, will such an exhibition of limbs continue? To what end will this folly bring you? Does not the fact that this unadornment of limbs is unattractive, that it is disgusting, that it is loathsome, that it is repugnant, that it is offensive, that it is immodest, that it is impudent, that it is brazen, nay that it is exceedingly chilly, impel you to cloth your lower extremities? Again, I say, embellish your limbs with the stocking, be it silk or cotton, black or white, mauve or sun tan, before the boys of Poly, the faculty, your friends, and your parents rise in a mighty revoltion of protest, a revolt to bring again the days of stockings to this school!

Ear- lier honors of the year came through a group of illustrative mans and note books prepared for the Pacific Southwest Exposition. The responsel of the department to Caerulea ' s call Kvas an essay contest, which brought forth a number of excellent papers on social subjects. Depart- ment teachers acted as judges. First place was awarded to Wilma Williams, member of Mr. C. H. French ' s class, U. S. History and Government, la — 612. Because of the length of Miss William ' s paper, it could not be printed here. The essay appearing below took second place. CAPTAIN RICHMOND PEARSON HOBSON By Orin K. Ripley V. S. History and Government la — 1 B, Charles F. Seymour, teacher Foreword: Richmond Pearson Hobson, an American naval engineer, was born at Greensboro , Alabama, August 17, 1870. He was graduated by the Naval Academy in 1899, became a naval constructor, and was on the cruiser New York during the blockade of Santiago, when he sank the collier Merrimac in the harbor channel, to prevent the escape of the Span- ish fleet. He was taken prisoner but was soon exchanged. He subsequent ' ly attempted to raise the wrecked Spanish ships and succeeded with the Maria Teresa. Lieutenant Richmond Pearson Hobson stood on the main deck of the collier Merrimac in the early morning hours of June 3, 1898. The success of the blockade depended upon himself and his crew of seven men. Every thing was in readiness. The electric torpedoes were attached to the hull, the sea valves were cut, and the anchor chains arranged on the deck, so that the collier could be brought to a sudden stop. Hobson asked one of his men if all was ready. An answer rang out upon the stillness: Aye, aye, Sir. With the silence of a huge cat, they took her to the entrance of the harbor. When they reached the destined spot, the men cheered, for they thought success was in their grasp. Then the booming of heavy guns shattered their hopes, the steering gear was shot away, and the fire of the Spanish ships burst forth like the wrath of an outraged dragon. Hobson bellowed his order: Every man front and center! And in CREATIVE EXPRESSION 125 a husky voice he added: The torpedoes are liable to go any minute now; so every man overboard and swim for itr 1 When the last man had van- ished over the side, he took one last look and himself dived overboard. Swimming with strong strokes, he soon was at a safe distance from the ship. He turned to watch. A few moments elapsed; and there burst a terrific explosion, which lighted up the harbor for a second or two — and that was the last of the collier Merrimac. Hobson and his men were picked up by the admiral of the Spanish fleet, who, being a strong admirer of bravery, kept Hobson and his men as prisoners of war, but in a few days exchanged them for Spanish prisoners. Lieutenant Richmond Pearson Hobson, for his brave deed, was recog- nised by the United Sates Government and was promoted to the rank of captain. The United States Government was not the only one to recog- nise Hobson. He became a national hero. He was idolised by the Amer- ican people, especially by the women. The unfortunate shooting away of the Merrimac 1 ? steering gear and the failure of some of the torpedoes to explode had kept the ship from sink- ing at the place selected, so that the plan had miscarried. This fact seemed not to detract from Hobson ' s popularity, although the Spanish ships bot- tled up in the harbor had been able to escape. When he was at the height of his popularity, there came the incident that made him the laughing stock of the country. While making a tour of the United States, and after delivering a speech, Hobson was shaking hands with a long line of women admirers, when it happened. 11 A foolish girl threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. The rest of the women instantly clamored for a kiss, and Hobson, not thinking of the consequences, lined them all up and bestowed a kiss upon each maiden ' s brow. The incident was, a serious blow to Hobson 1 s popularity. As a result of it he became the butt of every wit and cartoonist the country over. Although he subsequently resigned his commission, became an author and reformer, entered politics, and served several terms in the House of Representatives, a smile still flits across the face of every Spanish War vet- eran when the name of Hobson is mentioned. 126 CAERULEA ' 29 ENCHANTED GARDEN (Awarded second poetry prize in literary contest) By Gladys Howell Into my garden the mauve dusk slips In the hush of twilight ' s deepening gray, Stealing the light of languid day With shadowy, purple fingertips. Furtive night -winds stir the tulips, Sweep soft lilac ' scent away Across the moors. The lovely Day Dies, with Night ' s kiss on her lips. Then when the moon laughs over the wall, Dappling the flagstones with liquid light, And a spell of enchantment seems to fall Over the flower-fragrant night, And the air is cool and sweet; why, then, I dare to wish you ' d come again. 128 CAERULEA ' 29 ■ ' ■ iiiiii; i ni]i ' ' W ' iiiiiiii c-ym. wswea ' i w ' Back Row Fronl Row Mary Shouse, Hwisht Defty Helen Purcell, Edith Wyant, Marian Higgins.

Senorita Espinel, in native Anda- lusian costume, sang Spanish folk songs, not Americanized versions, but the music of Spain as it should be sung, with all its native quaintness and charm. The costume which the singer wore was a bridal dress more than a hundred years old. Before each song she gave the English translation and its historical significance in Spanish folkdore. The dynamic personal ' ity of Senorita Espinel, the colorful costume, and the piquancy of the songs wholly captivated the audience. Calmon Luboviski, master violinist, was featured in the second con ' cert, his appearance marking the fourth time Mr. Luboviski has played before the students of Poly High. His faultless bowing and his fire of trills and arpeggios seemed like some Romany artist ' s bag of tricks. The verve and brilliancy of Luboviski ' s playing have made him one of the most prominent artists in Southern California, and he was received with im- mense enthusiasm by his student body audience, which applauded and called for encores repeatedly, giving one of the greatest demonstrations it has ever accorded a visiting entertainer.

SENIOR GIRLS ' As their crowning achievement of this year the GLEE CLUB Senior Girls ' Glee Club in collaboration with the Senior Boys ' Glee Club presented the light opera, The Fortune Teller . Owing to the time and work entailed by the pre- sentation of the Victor Herbert work, fewer outside engagements were fulfilled than in previous years. But wherever the girls appeared in public they received unstinted praise for the artistry and finesse of their singing. Many of the members are engaged as soloists in local churches and have participated in other civic musical projects. Pubic performances for the year incuded the annual glee clubs ' concert held last November, with Margaret Davis as soprano soloist, the annual Christmas concert, and a concert given during National Music Week at the muncipal auditorium. Programs were also given over radio stations KGER and KFOX, at all junior high schools, and at Woodrow Wilson High as an advertising medium for the opera. The able direction of Miss Mary Shouse and the skillful accompaniment of Miss Sara Pepple contributed largely to the club ' s success. 130 CAERULEA ' 29 Back Row: G. Seymlore, E. Galbraith,- K.

This group, comprising less experienced songsters, provides the nucleus of the Senior Girls 1 Glee Club for the ensuing year. Because of the larg-e number of students Who ' •nnually tried out for membership in the girls ' glee club, this junior group was formed several years ago in order that training in the fundamentals of ensemble singing might be offered less developed singers. Besides singing in the annual glee clubs ' concert, the club sang in the Christmas concert and was invited by the chorus to assist in the presenta- tion of its sacred oratorio, The Holy City . Other programs on which the girls appeared were the annual May program, Girls ' League program, the Job ' s Daughters ' banquet, and that of the annual alumni meeting. In their colorful uniforms of yellow, the girls made a charming picture while singing. They have considered this the most successful season since the group was first organised. MUSIC 131 Back Row: E.

The spirit and the musicianship which the boys have always evinced in their singing have gained widespread praise. The personnel of the club includes many prominent and representative students. Several of the members have been engaged by various civic groups as soloists. Rollin Calkin, Joseph Bjorndahl, and Fred Tucker were soloists this year in the Christmas Concert; Rollin Calkin, baritone, was also soloist in the annual glee club concert. The group, in collaboration with the Senior Girls ' Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Mary Shouse and with Miss Sara Pepple as accom- panist, presented this year as their big project the light opera, The Fortune Teller , by Victor Herbert. Other public performances included the annual glee clubs ' concert, the Christmas concert, music for both com- mencement exercises, concerts over KGER and KFOX, programs at all junior high schools, Woodrow Wilson High School, the Woman ' s City Club, Optimists ' Club, Rotary Club, and the Boys ' League banquet. 132 CAERULEA ' 29 ' - ' ' iff ' w ' ' £ ' ?■ ■ ' ■ 3m t S TWct MB - • ' — • mm . • -.  ' ■ if .

JUNIOR BOYS ' Although they were not organized as a club until GLEE CLUB the beginning of the second semester of the past year, the Junior Boys ' Glee Club, under the capable direc- tion of Miss Mary Shouse, received instructions in the fundamentals of group singing. The club was created in response to an increasing demand for an organization to serve as a training school for the Senior Boys ' Glee. In addition to their other work the glee club was scheduled to assist the other three clubs and the chorus in the presentation of Gaul ' s Holy City 11 at a local church on May 31. At the time Caerulea went to press the club was practicing extensively for its part in the oratorio. With Miss Edith Wyant as accompanist and Miss Mary Shouse as director, the group met every day during the eighth period in the music auditorium. Following the usual custom with the other clubs of electing officers, the organization elected Joe Hardin as their president. The success which the boys achieved this year and the musical knowledge which they acquired will make many of them valuable addi- tions to the senior club of next fall. MUSIC 133 CHORUS Presentation of the sacred oratorio, ' The Holy City by Gaul, and assistance as choristers in the Christmas Concert were part of the chorus ' work this year under the direction of Mrs. Helen Purcell, with Miss Edith Wyant as accompanist. Soloists were Richard Byrer, tenor; Margaret Davis, soprano; Joseph Bjorndahl, baritone; and Mary Louise Hurst, contralto.

The opera, combining rare humor and musical charm, is difficult and exacting, and demands great dramatic and vocal ability from the leads. Perhaps the most picturesque scene of the whole production was the gypsy chorus. The stage, softly lighted, seemed imbued with all the romance and mysticism of Romany life. Brilliantly and fantastically clad figures sitting in the semi-darkness watched graceful dancers whirling in the wild abandon of a gypsy dance. Dainty ballet girls went through the steps of the chorine in a charmingly professional manner, while Hussars strode about with true military precision. The capricious, air of the swaggering gypsies lent glamour to the entire production.

The concert, a memorial to its founder, the late Miss Ethel Ardis, was a visual and, lyrical expression of the spirit of Christmas. The white robes of the girls in sharp contrast to the black vestments of the boys added to the air of impressive solemnity. The visu- alization, portraying the episode of the three wise men, was a thing of breath-taking beauty, and incense arising from swaying censers made the auditorium reminiscent of a medieval cathedral. Sung by a hundred and fifty voices, the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel ' s Messiah made a fitting conclusion for one of the most beautiful concerts ever presented at Poly. 13 6 CAERULEA ' 29 BAND Urging Poly rooters to bursts of enthusiasm as they marched in drill formation in their colorful uniforms of green and gold, the combined band, under the direction of Dwight S. Defty, was an important factor in every athletic event of the season. In addition, the group played for pep rallies and assemblies. The success of the musical unit was so marked that John Philip Sousa, famous band director and composer, upon the occasion of his recent visit to Long Beach, conducted the band in several numbers and praised it as being one of the best high school bands in the state. With Richard Ellsworth as drum- major, t he drill formations of the organization lent a colorful touch to every game at which it appeared. The personnel of the group includes includes both civilian and R. O. T. C. students, although the R. O. T. C. contingent functioned also as a separate unit.

The score of the Victor Herbert light opera is a work of difficult orchestration full of lilting melodies and catchy tunes, calling for the utmost abilities of the phyers. The perfection of the orchestra ' s rendition of the Herbert music was considered a vital factor in the triumph of The Fortune Teller 1 ' . In addition the Poly instrumentalists furnished musical backgrounds for both commencements. Radio concerts over KGER and KFOX, music for the senior play, a program of numbers for the community services held in the municipal auditorium on Monday nights, and a November musicale at the Pacific Coast Club occupied their time during the first semester.

Defty, has made commendable progress and gained insight into the requisites of or ' chestral musicianship. An instrumental setting for the Junior play, Bab , offered the group the advantage and experience of public appearance. Ser- ious students of professional aspirations but of less technical training are admitted into the second orchestra, which schools its members for admis ' sion into the advanced orchestra. Meeting every day the seventh period in the music room over the boys 1 gym, the organization was instructed in the fundamentals of orchestral playing by their conductor, Dwight S. Def- ty. Mr. Defty ' s capable guidance is the result of his extensive training and practice in some of the most famous orchestras in the country FIRST VIO LINS .Mary Jane Kiser Mollis Falk Catherine Craig Geneva Fulton Lillian lallahan Virginia Welch I leioris Rule Lucille Kahler Frank Sahr Franklin Morse SECOND VIOLINS Marguerite Beckett Clara Crabb Lyle Creel Bob Frazier Raymond Hayes Dorothy Konkle Lois Brown Evelyn Tucker CELLOS Paul Randall Ada Dugdale TRUMPETS Bill Mooney George Beck Walter Reed Dale Wurman TROMBONES Walter Richards Virginia Kuster Kenneth Noggle BASS Charles Melntyre James Wood BARITONE I elos Woody FRENCH HORN Paul Leonard FLUTE Bob Calloway CLARINETS Paul Harrison James Raul BASSOON Wilford Augustus SAXOPHONES James Young Walter Brown DRUMS Don Reither Lindley Jones Maurice Wishon PIANO Sara Birk DRAMA 139 ws JWMm DRAMA Presenting a series of plays depicting every type of char- REVIEW acter in modern drama, from Kentucky mountaineers to newlyweds, the Masque and Sandal players and the dramatic classes have concluded a thoroughly lively season. The Knight of Piney Woods 1 ' ' , first presentation of the season, was a colorful and vivid tale of the Kentucky mountains, with moonshiners, log cabins, hypocritical parsons, and bullying papas all thrown in. The plot, full of action and interest, was convincingly enacted by a cast which included Marie Hall, Arthur Mount, Hudson Edwards, Gordon Heater, and Ralph Dunn. As an advertisement for the senior play, Two Girls Wanted , a side-splitting curtain-raiser entitled The Impertinence of the Creature , was offered by Ralph Garrison and Marie Hall. As a basis for an entertaining play, the newlywed idea is a sure-fire cure-all for gloom. The Wedding , a one-act farce concerning lost collar-buttons and a young man who is about to bid his freedom goodby and enter into the bondage of wedded bliss, boasted a cast which includ ed Joseph Bjorndahl, Floy Hellin, Paul Hughie, Ralph Garrison, Betty Stone, and George Sweet. Another presentation which proved popular with the audiences was Miss Civilization , enacted by George Crane, Marie Hall, Gordon Heater, Bernie Harvey, and Sara Louise Sherman. The plot of this play con- cerned a young girl who uses her wits and feminine wiles to outwit a group of bandits. Upon finding the outlaws in possession of her house, she invites them to dinner and detains them until the arrival of the police. The realistic setting- and witty lines of this play made it outstanding. Good Medicine , one of the most comical of this year ' s Masque and Sandal presentations, was portrayed by Bernie Harvey, Thelma Dix. and Genevieve Reedy. The action centered in a quest for an altogether unknown thing, an honest doctor. Bernie Harvey, portraying the strug- gling young doctor, is visited by a finicky old dame who is thoroughly convinced that she has every ailment on the calendar. Much to her surprise, he informs her that there is nothing the matter with her. Upon hearing this, she is so taken with his honesty that she finances a clinic for him. To Miss Lillian V. Breed, coach, goes credit for the unusual success of the season. 140 CAERULEA ' 29 SENIOR Modernism was the predominating motif of the senior play, PLAY Two Girls Wanted , this year. In the opinion of local critics, this was the most refreshing play presented at this school during the last three years. Clever staging and lighting effects added to the subtle note of sophistication which pervaded the whole per- formance. Other factors contributing to the success of the production were the excellence of the casting and the typically up-to-date plot. The action of the play centered about the divers means employed by the poor working girl to acquire the rich young business man. The lead- ing feminine role of Marianna Miller, a wordly-wise young person, was played by Thelma Dix with a true understanding of the character and a certain genuineness that won the approval of the audience. Babette Jenne, in the part of Miss Timony, a bespectacled spinster, who is an ultra ' efficient secretary, was most popular characterization of the play. i ' AST Sarah Miller Elsie Klatt Mrs. Gock .Marie Hall .Marianna Miller ....Thelma I ' ix Miss Timony Babette Jenne Johnny William Harrison Jack Terry Emil te Groen CAST Philip Hancock H.

Since the keynote of all dramatic productions this year was modernity, this play was wholly in keeping with the aim. Gleam Hall, as the irrepresible Bab, whose family refused to recognize the fact that she was grown-up, gave one of the most charming presentations of the year. The leading male role, taken by Dick Yeamans and Bob Tarry on alternate nights, was well portrayed. In the part of Leila Archibald, the sophisticated, frigid, elder sister of Bab, Veatrice Buttler was very aptly cast. The comedy element of the play was supplied by Gordon Wheeler as Eddie Perkins, a vest-pocket edition of a shiek, with unabridged ideas. Texas Dalton playing the part of Jane Raleigh, the effervescing young friend of Bab, also added to the merriment. Jack Gray portraying the role of Mr. Archibald, was the dignified father to perfection.

A jolly Christmas theme was featured in many of the poems, essays, sketches, and short stories which crammed the sixty eight pages of the book and filled, it to overflowing with a holiday atmos ' phere. Another distinctive feature was a double cover, printed on both front and back, depicting an aeroplane dropping a shower of Christmas letters over a skyscraper city below. Inside illustrations were an ex libris design and three full-page color plates. At least one piece of work by each member of Writers ' Club was included, the contents being gathered from the monthly magazines of the club and from material written espe- cially for publication in Acacia.

Student crea- tive work as it is carried on in the school was stressed in all write-ups as well as in art work. Polytechnic High School at work in class rooms, shops, and office; and at play on the field of sport— this has been the pic- ture the editors have endeavored to portray. Among the projects in creative work, the most productive of results was the literary contest, which brought forth over 300 manuscripts, many of which were surprisingly well executed. Another project was the snap- shot contest, in which seventy-five pictures were entered, portraying every phase of student life. In the specialised creative projects of school departments, competition was keen and products unique. Caerulea itself is thus a memento of Poly ' s year of work and play, into which has gone the support of the entire student body. Margaret Wheeler, Associate.

Rotarian debate, and five practice m terscholastic debates have constituted W % a new record for 1928 ' ' 29, not to T ■ mention the championship debate W11U __ v McCa _, Arthur Jamison . ,. r r r William v. Meuay with Hollywood, chmax of a success- ful year. In oratory another new record was established, in this instance also for California. Poly numbered 736 students who prepared and de- livered speeches preliminary to the National Oratorical Contest. A new oratorical contest was inaugurated this year, leading to Poly ' s entry into the twentieth annual contest of the Southern California Debate and Oratory League. Cash prizes were offered in the Poly contest, which focused on the central theme of world problems. In the extempore speaking contest a novel source of entertainment and information was afforded the student body. This type of speaking is gaining in popularity at Poly, inasmuch as the students realize the value of skill in extempore speaking as an asset in business and social life. Another speech activity that afforded practical experience for several hundred students was a series of section speaking projects. In each of seven programs, a different group of eighty-five students prepared speeches under direction and gave them before the sections of the school. In this unique way, messages were carried to the entire student body of twenty- eight hundred members on occasions such as Columbus Day, the National Election, Thanksgiving Day, and drives for the community chest, social welfare, and the Jane Harnett fund. The public speakin classes, in addition to their regular course of study, contributed to public welfare by furnishing two radio programs, one an evening with Lincoln and the other a program of speech stunts; by contribution of two assembly programs on the occasion of Roosevelt ' s birthday; by developing debaters and contestants; and by supplying some twenty speakers for down-town programs. The year was marked by a spirit of hard work, cooperation, and loyalty among coaches, managers, and speakers alike. Credit for this unusual record should be accorded Coach Wm. V. McCay and his assistants, Arthur B. Gleditzsch and Arthur Jamison. FORENSICS 153 A ' ancy Fowler, Howard Patrick, Earl Dible, Stanley Merryfielrt, William Harrison, M.

Resolved, that the influence of modern advertising is detri ' mental to the people, was the question argued by the two schools. Long Beach upheld the affirmative side of the question; Manual Arts defended the negative. This was the first time this subject had been used for a league debate in Southern California. Both Miss Fowler and Mr. Patrick made their initial appearance in debate circles. SANTA ANA By a two to one decision, Earl Dible and Stanley Mer- ryfield defeated a strong Santa Ana team at Long Beach, February 2? in the second varsity debate of the season. The discussion was based upon a crime subject: Resolved, that newspaper publicity of crime tends to encourage the commission of crime. Poly upheld the af ' firmative; Santa Ana, the negative. A number of teams worked for the debate, but the team showing the most effective progress was chosen to defend the honor of Poly. Close competition called for the best powers of the Long Beach duo. JEFFERSON Journeying to Jefferson High School at Los Angeles, March 21st for the final league debate, Margaret Hatcher and Billy Harrison defeated their competitors by a two to one decision. By winning this debate Poly has three consecutive league victories. The subject discussed was, Resolved, that all pardon and parole boards in the state of California should be abolished. For the first time in a league dc bate, the Poly team upheld the negative side of the question, showing fine preparation and forceful delivery. Billy Harrison proved to be an efficient manager. To Coach McCay goes the credit for a season of victories. 154 CAERULEA ' 29 Back Row: M. Kennedy, M. Williams, M. Gato, L. V. Hadley, D. Hall, J. Jackson, S, Merry field Second Row: B. Harrison, F.

Storm centers around which con ' flicting opinions clashed ranged from whether modern advertising takes unfair advantage of human nature, to whether Mussolini is a benefit to Italy. Nineteen victories out of twentyone decision debates was the proud record achieved by the debate squad. The twentysecond inter scholastic conflict was the championship d ebate of Southern California held with Hollywood on June 7, after Caerulea went to press. During the season in preparation for a given debate the members of the squad were paired, and a decision debate with an outside school was scheduled for each team that prepared a satisfactory case and rebuttal. As a result of debate contests, close friendships were formed in the squad and several friends were made of visiting and visited teams. Two radio debates and a debate with the Rotary Club were unique events on the year ' s calender. For the first time in the history of Poly debating, letter men were awarded sweaters of attractive colors and design. Robin Hood green sweaters with gold trim and major letters are now the distinguished insignia of varsity debaters. William V. McCay was in charge of the debate program, coaching all interscholastic teams. Billy Harrison ' s time was much in demand as manager. The interclass debates were coached by Arthur B. Gleditz,sch.

A large number of sophomore English classes, supplement- ing the response from the public-speaking classes and from free-lance en- trants, competed in a series of pre-final contests until the number of con- testants was reduced to eight. Judges sent by the central office in Los Angeles declared Miss Marjorie Forsyth, a sophomore, the winner in the finals of Poly High. Miss Forsyth also won the Southern Counties Con- test held at San Diego April 26, speaking on the subject, The Constitu- tion, the Supreme Expression of Democracy. In the all-California con- test at Bovard Auditorium U. S. C, she was awarded fourth place. For the Poly finals, the American Bar Association contributed fifty dollars; the Long Beach Press-Telegram, fifty dollars; and the Los Angeles Times, fifty dollars. Each of the eight finalists was awarded a cash prise ranging in denomination as follows: first prize, thirty-five dollars; second, twenty dollars; third, fifteen dollars; fourth, ten dollars; fifth to eighth, five dollars. Attorney Eugene I. Fisher presided and awarded prizes. The contest was engineered by Coach William V. McCay and by Howard Patrick, student manager. Arthur Jamison coached the eight finalists. Uncle John of radio in a pep assembly augmented school- wide interest. 156 CAERULEA ' 29 Kobert Rope, Marshall Williams, Odie Wright. Stanley Merryfield INTER-CLASS A spirit of keen competition inspired Pol y ' s three DEBATE classes to an intense interest in this year ' s inter-class debates, which have come to be annual affairs at the high school. The first forensic clash was held December 6 at a fourth period assembly. The sophomore team comprised Marshal Williams and Robert Rope; Stanley Merryfield and Odie Wright were their junior class opponents. The subject discussed was Resolved, that newspaper public ity of crime tends to encourage the commission of crime. By a unani- mous decision of the judges, the junior team emerged the victors. The winning lower class, with Gerald Frerks and Stanley Merryfield as their representatives, met the seniors, Nancy Fowler and Carl McLeod, only to ; be defeated by a two to one decision. The question debated was Resolved, that all pardon and parole boards in the state of California should be abolished. Both debates were received with enthusiasm by the student body. The teams were coached by Arthur B. Gleditz,sch. All five of the participants in the two debates were members of the debate squad under the supervision of William V.

This year ' s eleven, while not as successful as some previous Jackrabbit teams, never once failed to display undying fighting spirit and stamina. In choosing the most valu- able player, the student body nominated Bill Voorhees, who was outstand- ing at end, both offensively and defensively. With the outgoing 1929 class the heavyweight team graduates eighteen lettermen, leaving Captain- elect Norman Franklin, Sharkey Mitchell, Bob Tarry, and Kordover Vance as a nucleus for next year ' s eleven. BOYS ' SPORTS 173 CAfT. SIHAM.IN noRRiscim DILDAY MANUAL Defeat by the Manual Arts eleven ARTS was hard to take; in the first season ' s game the Jackrabbits were beaten 19 to 0. The first half was a series of fumbles, missed signals, and erratic passes, typical of a squad in its making. Captain Freeman was the star defensive player. Crane did most of the passing, but every pass was either missed or blocked. It is said also that he did not miss a tackle in the entire game. Franklin showed up well in this game. Much is ex- pected of him next year as leader of the squad. HOLLYWOOD Running fifty-two yards for a touchdown, Norman Franklin, Poly quarterback, scored the only points of the Hol- lywood game. The total score was 7 to 0. Coach Kelley of Hollywood sent in his second string for the first quarter; but the Poly varsity was still full of pep when his varsity team dashed onto the gridiron. The Poly eleven started the second half by smashing the Hollywood line. The backfield showed up splendidly with Franklin calling signals and Captain Freeman crashing through the opponents ' line. Crane tossed some excellent passes to Johnson and Martinson, two of which were completed. SANTA ANA For the second successive year, the Long Beach-Santa Ana foot- ball game resulted in a deadlock, the score reading 0-0. In the third period after a punting duel, the Saints, the ball in their possession, arrived within three yards of the Long Beach goal line and a touch- HITCtlELL 174 CAERULEA ' 29 down; but they could not pierce the strong Poly de- fense. After four attempts that went for naught, the ball was Long Beach ' s on their own three yard line. Then Norman Franklin punted out of danger. In ground-gaining, Franklin led with 142 yards. Paul Voorhees followed up with sixty-five. Illl (I) VANCI TARPT IXUIII ALHAMBRA Fighting with characteristic never-give-up spirit to save them- selves from a complete shutout, the Jackrabbit eleven went down to a 27-0 defeat at the hands of Alhambra. Long Beach could not stop the brilliant running attack of the Moors, who went through the season undefeated to win the Southern California championship. In the third quarter, two forward passes, both from Freeman to Paul Voorhees, put the ball on the Moor ' s thirty-yard line. Another pass, Crane to Paul Voorhees, was good for fifteen yards; but from there, Poly was unable to advance. GLENDALE By intercepting two forward pass- es and converting them into touch- downs, Long Beach was enabled to defeat Glendale 13-0, proving to be a hard-fighting, alert, well- coached team. Late in the first quarter Bob Tarry, tackle, caught a Glendale forward pass knocked into the air by Bill Voorhees and raced sixty yards to the first touchdown. Later in the game Herb Scharlin intercepted a Dynamiter ' s pass and ran ninety-six yards for the second score. Voorhees, Deems and Freeman showed strong defensive ability. BIX By BOYS ' SPORTS 175 ffonUNIMN SOUTH PASADENA For the first time in three years the South Pasadena eleven surpassed Poly by a 1 3 to 1 2 score in a varsity tilt. Poly ' s first score came after a fifty- six yard run by Sam Chase, which placed the pig- skin on the opponents 1 19 yard line. Red Frank- lin and Paul Voorhees had the ball over the goal in the next two plunges. Scharlin, Franklin, P. Voor- hees, and Freeman slashed through the South Pasa- dena line during the third quarter and succeeded in adding six more points to the Poly score. SAN Three inches away from a touchdown DIEGO after Pascal Dilday had carried the pig- skin down the gridiron, the Poly eleven took a 6 to beating from San Diego. When it was least expected, Bailey of San Diego scooped in a fumble and scored a touchdown. All attempts to even the score failed. Pascal Dilday was the star of the game. He kicked well and gained many yards. No matter how many times the San Diego eleven was held on downs, the score could not be evened by the faithful Poly squad. It was a tough battle. t tUWUI IAN DCS HWOCRHfES, PASADENA Victory again fell to Pasadena, GAME when the Bulldog triumphed over Polv 8-6 in a fast, hard-fought bat- tle in the Pasadena Rose Bowl. Not only did Coach Sprong ' s men display the highest caliber of fighting spirit, but several times they were within scoring distance, only to lose out by a fumble or CHASE CC ER 176 CAERULEA ' 29 • f n penalty. A blocked kick in the first quarter paved the way for a Pasadena touchdown, and a safety scored later in the game accounted for the eight points. With Scharlin and Dilday doing most of the ball packing, Long Beach scored a lone touch- down in the second half. ft CCACil SPRONC WHITTIER Playing the last game of the season on Burcham Field, Long Beach wound up the 1928 football season with a 7-0 win over Whittier. Herb Scharlin was the player to score for Poly, playing throughout a consistent, dependable, line-smashing- game. Many were the times he succee ded in making first down for Long Beach. With the ending of the 1928 football sea- (ttflMi son, the high school athletic careers of many Poly football players were terminated. Among those who played their final games for the green and gold were Freeman, Crane, Edmunson, Paul and Bill Voorhees, Scharlin, Deems, Bridges, Creider, Lan- des, Martinson, and Chase. + 4I4H SUMMARY Three wins, one tie, and five losses, reads the 1928 varsity foot- ball history of Poly High. The entire squad is re- cognized as a hard-fighting, energetic group, and de- serves much praise. Below are the scores for the season. The first two are practice games.

With Jager- son playing his best, a 15 to 13 score was run up against the opponents. The first defeat of the season came on the turf of the old rivals, Pasadena. Snatching a pass out of the air and converting it into a touchdown resulted in a 6-0 defeat of Poly. In a return game on Burcham Field, the Bulldogs were held to a scoreless tie. In the fourth game with the help of Captain Waterman, Jagerson, and Bradley, a score of 26 to 6 was made against Torrance High. Manual Arts High tagged along at the small end of a 19 to score when Poly had finished with them. The second setback of the season was a 13 to 14 drubbing by Orange High. In all but three cases, the teams played were the first string elevens. UMH ' I 41(111 Jy SB_l C.C 41 1 I 41 II f 17 8 CAERULEA ' 29 Back Row: Coach Landreth, J. Hardin, E. Rainboth, M. Larue, R.

For the third time in as many years, Long Beach reached the final playoff game. In the two preceding years Poly was defeated; but this year ' s team was not to be denied, and in the final game with Fullerton, Long Beach won, 52 to 16. Captain Bixby, in playing his third year of varsity competition, led the team in scoring ' . Mark Vail, Bixby ' s running mate, was one of the trickiest men on the floor. Bill Voorhees, pivot man, developed into one of the league ' s best centers. Walt Freeman at guard was a thorn in the side of all opponents. Saxon Elliot, at first not a regular, proved to be an important cog in Coach Landrettfs machine. ItKIMI fil E MCR. ttl tMIMR BOYS ' SPORTS 181 CC4CH UMIIII Mini LANCES THE Out of four practice games, Long SEASON Beach ' s varsity basketball five broke even, winning two and losing two. With only four days of practice, Coach Landreth ' s men defeated the fast Manual Arts team 28 to 18. Poly ' s first defeat came with a 32 to 23 score from L. A. High. In the third practice game, revenge for the previous defeat fell upon Lincoln High of Los Angeles, who succumbed by a 38 to 26 score. After five quarters of hectic basketball in the final practice game with Inglewood, Long Beach lost out by one point, the final score being 19 to 20. Rallying in the last half to come through with an impressive 37 to 24 victory over Santa Ana in the opening league game, the Jackrabbits started the trail to the championship. Loyd Landes played an exceptionally fast game at guard. The lineup for this game comprised Bixby, Vail, Voorhees, Free- man, and Landes. Continuing their championship march, Coach Landreth ' s men overcame Alhambra 26 to 17. Ab though the Moors put up a scrappy flight in the first half, they were unable to cope with the fast pace set by Poly forwards, Bixby and Vail. Glendale, bewildered by the Jackrabbit attack and air-tight defense, was snowed under 27 to 9. In the entire first half, not a point was scored against Long Beach. Placed upon the defensive for the first time, Long Beach came back to flash a fast brand of bas- P VOORHEES CRANE 182 CAERULEA ' 29 BVOOnHEEl ketball and to take a welbearned 17 to 12 victory from South Pasadena. Bill Voorhees accounted for eleven of the points by free throws and field goals. In what was doped to be the hardest game yet encountered, Coach Landreth ' s team emerged from the fifth league tussle with San Diego on the long end of a 36 to 16 tally and slid into first place in the league standing. Outplayed in all branches of the game, Pasa- dena was left in the smoke of a Jackrabbit 42 to 18 triumph. The Bulldog team was outclassed by the brilliant attack of the Jackrabbit quintet as a whole, and by the individual playing of Bixby and Voorhees. With a 38 to 23 defeat of Whittier in the con- eluding league game, Long Beach Poly was awarded its third consecutive Coast League championship. In addition, it completed the twenty-first victory out of as many contests. Saxon Elliot scored 13 points and played his best game in the season. Playing Fullerton for the Southern California championship, Long Beach emerged victorious, to take the title with a 32 to 16 win. Bixby Vail, Voorhees, Freeman, Landes, Crane, and Beistle fin ' ished their basketball careers. L. B. 28— Manual Arts 18 L. B. 23— L. A. High 32 L. B. 38— Lincoln 26 L. B.

Nevertheless, an impressive record was hung up by this year ' s team, which lost only one league contest and that to Santa Ana in the league opener. When the season ended, Santa Ana had also lost a game; so it was neces- sary to play off for the championship. On the class B squad, there were several players who were easily outstanding. Ernie Holbrook, center, lead the team in scoring with 68 points. Frank Daley and Musty Olson, for- wards, distinguished themselves in a fast passing game. Barton Smith, Jack Diamond and Bob Parke also proved to be valuable players. Opponents Santa Ana 27 Alhambra 18 Glendale 17 L,. B. 14 26 32 Opponents South Pasadena. 23 San Diego 14 L.

Led by Captain Dick Deeble, the lightweights presented a hard-fighting, fast-playing quintet. A strong passing attack, along with an alert defense, was emphasized by Coach Sprong with the result that, while Poly ' s scores were comparatively high, the opponents were kept low. This year the playing of basketball at night was inaugurated. In league competition the lightweights won over Santa Ana 21 to 8 but were defeated by Alhambra. The following- games were won: Glen- dale 22 to 11; South Pasadena 10-2; Pasadena 19 to 10: but in the final game with Whittier, Poly lost by 16-6 score.

With the relay deciding the meet, Pasadena was beaten, 60 to 53. Glendale met defeat with the score 74 2-3 to 38 1-3, in which a clean sweep of places was taken in the hurdles by Captain McLaughlin, Peterson, and Grace. The San Diego meet was lost by the score of 69 2-3 to 43 1-3. In the Coast League meet Poly took fourth. Although four men qualified, Poly failed to place in the Southern California meet.

Hitchens CLASS B This year marked the start of class B track in California, TRACK and the appearance of more men out for events on Burcham field. Because of the sudden decision of the say-sos in high school track, a hurry-up call was sent out for middleweight track material only a week before the Santa Ana meet. It seemed that the Polyites re- sponded much more quickly than the Saints; so it was a walk-away for Poly High. The other schools were even worse off; so that the middle- weights did not go to San Diego to take part in that meet. The result of Coach Barker ' s hurry-up call and the quick formation of a team was the dual championship of the Coast League. However, when the Coast League meet came around, men stepped in and copped points that put Poly out of its high standing. Captain Jack Hallatt placed in the Southern California meet as third in the pole vault at 12 feet. C4PT HALLET HCI1 CI1ASE BOYS ' SPORTS 187 Back Row: H. Hiland, M. Bolsieger, C. Jones, W. Jones, J.

Worthley CLASS C Annexing a Coast League Championship, the Class C track TRACK team ranked with the middleweight , the two groups taking dual championships for their respective weights. As so few of the Coast League schools have lightweight teams, it is difficult for the contenders to win letters and to get much outside competition. The Coast League dual title was taken when Glendale was defeated with a score of 85 to 38. However, the tables were turned in the Coast League meet, as they were in the case of the middleweights, with the result that Poly did not place very high. Captain Bucknam was undoubtedly the best sprinter on the team, although there were other outstanding men in the furlong and pole vault. Eight of the tiny tracksters earned letters. They were Captain Bucknam, Burkhart, Evans, Gillespie, Lee, Skarda, Stephens, and Worthley. cam. i ' .i ( nv L HcunyiANi 188 CAERULEA ' 29 Back Row: B. Barnes, L. Callahan, W. E Front Row: W.

CROSS Despite new material, the Poly cross country squad out- COUNTRY distanced their rivals in all meets and added a long list of championships and titles to their victorious record of last year. The first meet was a walk-away with Glendale. The second meet, held with Pasadena in the Rose Bowl between football halves, was another walk-away. The fourth meet, that with Belmont, Fairfax, Hollywood, and Los Angeles Poly, was held at a U course at Griffith Park. Teemy Miller, by cutting across the U managed to lead the runners to the tape and captured first. Coach Barker was well pleased when the boys scored their fourth victory. The fifth successive win was the Southern California meet, which was easily won by the Poly men. Kill I 41 I I I BOYS ' SPORTS 189 Back Row: Ass ' t. Mgr. Harrison, Mgr Crieder, Ass ' t Mgr.

Playing a practice game with Huntington Beach in which most of the reserves participated, Long Beach was defeated 2-0; but in the following contest, triumphed over these same opponents 6-2. On the pitching staff, Captain Frank Gabler, playing his third season on Coach Landretffs team, was twirling excep ' tionally good ball. When it came to heavy slugging, Mitchell, Gabler, Ferrell, and Diamond shared honors. Prospects for a highly successful season next year are bright, as over half the team will return for competi- tion. Team members were Ferrell, Gabler, Clausing, Carson, Diamond, Holbrook, Freeman, G.

Valuable work is done by Coach Sprong in developing varsity players each season. Practically all the regulars now on Coach Landreth ' s team have gained experience on the junior varsity. Junior team members find especially valuable the super vised practice, which they ordinarily would not get if there were only one team, as is the condition in most other schools. At midseason, the junior team had played and defeated Lomita High 5-3 and Torrance 10-6; and in two games with Wilmington, Coach Sprong ' s men had won by 9 ' 2 and 74 scores. When Caerulea went to press, Jack Hile and Walter Carson were doing most of the pitching. A real battle was still on for positions in both outfield and infield.

Poly High is always favored for the championships because of previous records. Excellent swimming conditions and a good coach have put the Jackrabbit aquatic stars in the limelight. Poly was first in line, with Alhambra close at her heels; then came Glendale, Santa Ana, and Pasadena. Captain Plescia was well seasoned in swimming and bade fair to rate high in the big meets. Others who were expected to prove outstanding were Allen, Paul, Keefer, Kaylor, Rogers, Kelly, and Yeamans.

The latest pos ' sible lineup of tennis team included Shellshear, Clausing, Fraser, Dean, and Saunders. Doubles players were Blevins and Clausing, Drown and Cook.

GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Arrangement of a play day for the smaller a neighboring high schools, in which 500 girls MM participated in the games, swimming, and w folk dancing, was the major project the Girls ' Athletic Association put over this year. A handbook edited in conjunction with the Girls ' League describing the various activities of Poly girls will be ready for distribution and publicat ion next fall. To interest the incoming sophomores and other high schools in girls ' activities at Poly, the officers decided to inform them by means of this interesting pamphlet. This handbook of activities will be the third one of its kind to be published. A girls ' get-acquainted party in the gym at the very first of the year started the association off on a series of interesting events. Hi- Jinks, the annual carnival show staged in the gym, seemed more entertaining than ever before. At the regular monthly meetings, the splendid programs were a constant source of entertainment. Actual service work done by the club consisted of ushering at the three performances of the comic opera, The Fortune Teller , aiding the staging of assemblies, and co-operating with the yell-leaders in the drive for peppy rooters to promote school loyalty. Under Miss Frame ' s enthusiasm and guidance the officers co- operated in making this one of the most worthwhile seasons.

The L club. Entrance into the club is gained by personal merit and achievments. Gold L ' s, felt Us, major or minor, are the passports, with good scholastic standing and a high merit record as gatekeepers. For participation in dramatics, music, debate — in fact, every extra-curricular activity, points are awarded toward the gold L. Fifteen points must be earned, not more than 10 in a semester, before the L is presented. A second means of entering is by acquiring 500 or 1000 points for the minor or major L through athletic ability. After the major L is awarded, a green star is added to the letter for each 200 additional points. Besides being a service group, the L club is also a social organization. Theater parties, beach parties, and mountain trips are a part of its activ- ities. Of course all these good times are climaxed in June by the elaborate L club banquet, when letters are awarded for the past semester ' s work, incoming G. A. A. officers are installed, and all star winners are recognized Blanche Wells was this year ' s president; Helen Brewer and Marie Carr were vice-presidents; Eleanor Worthington and Geraldine Wilde were secretary-treasurers. Mrs. Wells was adviser. 202 CAERULEA ' 29 CHAMPIONSHIP Senior girl casaba tossers mi JCtlNIfCN BASKETBALL wrested the championship from the junior contenders by a score of 27-20 in a speedy, hard-fought battle. Evenly matched, the two teams fought to the last half with the score a tie. Gradually superior team work and well-timed plays gave the seniors a lead, which the juniors failed to come up to. Although the game ended with the juniors at the short end of the score, their playing and good sportsmanship warranted a rousing cheer from both the champions and spectators. Sophomore girls were at a disadvantage in basketball, since they had never had any experience in the three court type played at Poly. They, however, played a creditable game with the more practiced seniors and juniors. It is hoped that next year they will be keener rivals for the championship. Positions were in great demand. Since there was a large group from which to select the six actual regulars and two extra substitutes, it is only logical that the teams were as nearly perfect as the coaches and constant practice could make them. Under Miss Gates 1 excellent coaching, Thelma (Rip) Rolo and Helen Holdsworth, seniors, were the only two who met all the requisites of all-star team members. Both were outstanding forwards on the team, were conscientious in training, were good sports, and held good scholarship records, the chief requirements for election to the honorary team-all-star. r. ♦■■!♦ GIRLS ' SPORTS 203 in nn JCflNIICN - ■■ • s r ■ £- HMMLW ItlC Hii EfU I . WELLS neciity CHAMPIONSHIP Coming out of the hockey HOCKEY season at the top of the lad ' der for the second consecu- tive time was the enviable record established by the seniors this year. Although all classes played ex- tremely well and had very good material, the sen- iors 1 pep and integrity placed them at the top. By the small margin of one point both the lower class- men were defeated, the juniors with a 2-1 loss and the sophs a 3-2. Thrills and heart throbs were par- amount during the entire junior-senior fracas, as the teams were so evenly matched. Starting things off with a bang, Blanche Wells, a senior right inside, dribbled the ball skillfully down the field for a nifty goal. Jessie Hoenk, a junior, retaliated with another field goal, leaving the score at a 1-1 deadlock. Not till the last quarter in the last few minutes of play did either side score. A fortunate pass from center to left wing gave Frances Wells, a senior, the op- portunity to break the junior line for a long dribbl; to a goal. Hardly had the ball passed through the posts when the time-keeper ' s cry of, ' Time! ended the game with seniors holding a 2-1 victory. Junior girls were awarded more places on the all-star team, however, than either the seniors ot sophomores. Girls who were selected for this hon- or were Jessie Hoenk, Blanche Wells, Neletta Mil- horn, Marie Carr, Catherine Boyton, Hazel Baker, Helen Holdsworth, Birdena Walters, and Carmen Sharon. r. WELL! 204 CAERULEA ' 29 . ii ♦ LHtiuri I VHHV I I III mm ♦till « 1 x 11111111 1 CHAMPIONSHIP SPEEDBALL Reversing last year ' s speed- ball score, the junior team carried off the championship with an 8-6 victory ov er the seniors. Promise of a highly contested play-off was given early in the season, since interclass rivalry was extraordinarily keen. Sophomores, seniors, and juniors were enthu- siastic in their practice of the newer speedball sport. In the finals between the juniors and seniors, on- lookers were granted thrills aplenty. Just as the sen- iors were victoriously on their way to a field goal, some brilliant junior intercepted the ball and started passing it down the field in the opposite direction, thereby preventing the seniors from scoring the needed three points. However, being beaten by on ly two points by such worthy opponents was not quite as bad as it might have been. To be rated a good speedball player, one must be skillful and quick with the feet. As the sopho- more contenders had not had the previous year ' s ex- perience, they were not as keen rivals as their older sisters, the seniors. A 19-9 defeat suffered by the babes in the junior-sophomore contest was proof of this; however, they resolved to win next year. Places on the all-star team are much coveted. Following is a list of girls who received the all-star emblem in speedball: Avaline Weller, Frances Wells, Nelletta Milhorn, Helen Brewer, Jessie Hoenk, Mar- ie Carr, Johana Beckler, Pauline Griffin, Helen Holdsworth, and Saintry Hohenshell. 1OTNI0P [CARD IMWtl; GIRLS ' SPORTS 205 ■ Left to right, back row: Kathleen Wilhite, Dorothea Prentice, Avaline Weller, Vera John- ston, Jean Hoyt, Ruth Woolsey, Zerita Baird, Martha Summers, Alice Jensen.

Not only is this a favorite game among the masculine part of the school,but of the feminine portion as well. With the opening of the practice season, many applicants for the class nines appeared on the diamonds ready for practice. Work ' outs in catching, throwing, and batting were first given the girls to test them; then the real inter-class practice games began. Before the final games were played, Caerulea went to press; hence the outcome of the baseball season was not known. Judged by the practice workouts in which they defeated both seniors and sophomores in most of the games, the juniors had a probable championship team. In the playoffs last year, the senior team virtually ran away with the pennant, defeating both junior and sophomore nines by large scores. With Mary Fallon pitching and Beryl Munson behind the bat, the seniors subdued the juniors by a 23-2 score. With somewhat unusual luck, the sophomores made a better showing than the juniors, holding the champions to a 17 ' 3 finish. Players on the winning senior team were competent to the nth degree, each being a star in her position. According to the senior coach, Miss Gates, baseball champions attained the goal by faithful practice and sportsmanship. 206 CAERULEA ' 29 Back Row: Suzanne Brown, Helen Holdsworth, Pauline Griffin, Mary Lindsay, Eleanor Worthington, Jessie Hoenk, Jean Hoyt.

Since class support was obviously lacking in water polo this season, the championship game was played off between green and gold color teams chosen from Interest and competition were as keen, however, as if one particular class had been awarded the championship. After a strenuous half hour game, the gold team came out victorious, defeating the green 2-1. Coaching of the team was done by Miss Mary Parham.

Such expressions of enthusiasm directed at the sophomore team aided them greatly in wresting the volleyball championship from both senior and junior teams. The swift volley sent by the sophomore huskies could not be properly returned by the other class teams; although their members fought bravely for su- premacy, they were outclassed for the third successive time. MAJORS Actually coaching regular gym classes was a unique oppor- CLASS tunity granted to members of the Majors Class this year. Be ' cause girls in this class really plan to do physical education work in later life, their training is varied and advanced. Particular stress is put on playground directing, since there is a great need for junior direct- ors on the summer playgrounds. From this group, many girls succeed in securing positions as junior directors.

The members of the unit received practice in firing this year, since both rifle ranges were open to them . Upon the last day of each week, everyone had choice of either swimming, tennis, or games on the field. The unit participated in the annual Armistice and Memorial Day parades. Colonel B. B. Hyer H.

Students, not mem ' bers of the staff, who assisted were Joseph Bjorndahl, Billy Zantiny, Stanley Smith, Adele Russell, Geraldine Dennison, and Clarice Dawson. Department editors who did extra work were Alan Woods, Harry Lee, and Texas Dalton. LEARN TO PLAY DURING VACATION!

THIRD AND AMERICAN CAERULEA ' 29 229 A Group in Secretarial Training The demand for young men was never so insistent as now. We have at least five times as many openings for trained young men as we can fill. And the salaries are most attractive. For some reason there is a serious lack of trained young men, who can enter the work of our large corpora ' tons with the idea of promotion to executive positions. If this advertisement reaches the eyes of any ambitious young man who looks toward the field of business for his permanent occupation, it will pay him to come down to the college office and let us give him some definite facts regarding openings and starting salaries. Business has be ' come a profession and is worthy of just as serious considerations as law or medicine. Its financial rewards are much higher.
