The year 1931 has brought not only a chang- ing scene but a widening vista of possibility for the future in the build- ing of our new auditorium. Through- out the year we have looked forward to the time when the structure shall stand complete, a new setting for student activity in the arts and crafts of the stage. It is fitting, therefore, that this Caerulea should pay especial tribute to those who have led the way to future achievements — those stu- dents and faculty members who have represented our school in music, drama, and speech arts. APPRECIATION To Ralph E. Oliver, teacher and friend, without whose generous aid few important school enter- prises are launched from the platform of Poly- technic High School, Caerulea offers sincere appreciation. .4 the world ' s a stage and all the men and women merely players. They have their en- trances and exits; and one man, in his time, plays many parts. In the twent ij years since Poly- technic High School was established, thousands of boys and girls have entered her portals, come upon the stage of action here, and played their part. In the inspiration and power which they have gathered here, they have made their honorable exit, only to enter upon the larger stage of life ' s activities. I congratulate the Caerulea staff in having chosen our new audito- rium and its possibilities as the theme of this year ' s annual. This beautiful building with its expansive stage and modern eguipment will represent enlarged opportunity for training and activity to that long line of as- piring boys and girls who in the coming gears are to make their en- trance here and play their part in the life of Polytechnic.

Eighteen FACULTY ADMINISTRATION OUR ATTENTION has recently been called to the importance of two educational principles: guid- ance of pupils and co-ordination and integration of subjects. The student entering high schoul finds himself in a maze of diverse courses, subjects, and activities. In this situation the average student is lost without intelligent and considerate guid- ance. The major problem of the , „ , ,, . . , Administration is to set up an organi- DavKl Burcham, Principal zation which will enable each course and activity to function one hundred percent and to coordinate these forms of training so tha t each shall contribute its full share to the wiell-rounded development of the individual pupil. — David Burcham THE FIRST consideration of the office this year has been to become acquainted with the boys of the school. This has not been difficult because of our having known many of them in the junior high schools. Plans for the development of recreational and social events which mil be enjoyed by all students have also re- ceived considerable attention. Close cooperation of the faculty, student commission, and the Boys ' League has made possible a most satisfactory beginning of the second and larger aim, to prepare our students for the wiser use of increased leisure time which has been so freely predicted for them in the future. — J. C. Peniwell NEW TO Poly High, the Dean of Girls has spent the year in getting acquainted and in establishing a friendly relationship between herself and the girls that she might be of the greatest possible service to them. She has been interested in helping girls make adjustments, in encouraging more to participate in activities so that they would feel themselves a part of the school, and thereby, would relieve leaders of an overload of responsibility. Students have found a welcome in her office, and the idea of progress has been the keynote in all interviews and in each activity program. — Evelyn Lofland .Tames O. Peniwell, Vice-Principal Frank G. Reid ADMINISTRATION THIS OFFICE is a combination of a repistrai ' s office, in the usual meaning of that term, and a busi- ness office. In functioning as the regis- trar ' s office, we plan and direct regis- tration, advise students concerning lequirements for graduation and for admission to college, and keep accurate and permanent credit record that are available to each stude nt not only dur- ing his high school career, but also throughout his life. In performing the various duties of the business office, we assist in the preparation and in the adminis- tration of the budget which is required for the operation of the school and act as general custodian of student body funds. — Frank G. Reid PUPILS probably think of school counselors merely as those who help them choose their subjects, change their juograms, check their credits, and hand out desired information about college or vocations. Back of these activities is the very sincere desire to aid every pupil in getting the maximum benefit from school opportunities, so thai he may fit himself for useful, satisfying work, wholesome association with other people, and co-operative citizenship. Particularly, do we aim to give help in such a way that our boys and girls will learn to become independent in making wise choices and adjustments for themselves. — Jane L. Fox EDUCATION is becoming a science through the use of exact measurements and tests. As a result of the use of these instruments the teachers have the most intimate possible knowledge of the pupils and are thus able to emidoy the best methods and use the proper material in order to help the pupils attain their desired goals. To this end we give tests to measure the ability of the stu- dents and their success with the various school subjects. Without objective informa- tion of this kind the guidance and counselor work would be little better than guess work. — Nellie Haddock slant Counselor Jane L. Fox, Counselor Nellie Haddock.

Evans Jane Harnett JANE HARNETT MEMORIAL FUND MISS HARNETT, head of the social science department twenty-six years asjo, through her s inpathetic interest in the less fortunate students of Poly High, established a loan fund for students who were unabi? to con- tinue their education without financial aid. Many former students owe niuoh of their success to the help that this fund has given them. It is . small wonder that Miss Harnett was beloved bv both teachers and students. Although she died thirteen vears ago. aid is still extended to stu- dents as a memorial to her noble life. At the piesent time the fund is administered by the following committee: Mr. Burcham, chairman; Mrs. Macintosh, secretary ; Miss Scott, treas- urer: Miss Burke, investigator. It is the purpose of the committee to examine and pass upon the applications and to keep all records. In past vears the commission and other student body associations have contri- buted to the scholarship fund as a part of their vear ' s program. The senior classes have also given liberally. Each year there is a tag day when the students are given the opportunity to support the project. The Lion ' s Club of the city also contrilnites annually. Worthy students may secure loans by filling out an application blank and stating their scholarship and merit records. This information is investigated care- fully; and if the applicant is eligible for help, he may borrow from the fund. The maximum is one hundred dollars in one year and two hundred altogether, on which a yearly sum of four percent is to be paid until the borrower has paid the full amount. During this year twenty students were helped by the fund. Amounts varied from fifty to one hundred dollars. Faculty Committee: Mrs. Macintosh, Mr. Burcham, Miss Scott.

Upon receiving the applications for the position of girls ' fire captain, the commissioners passed a ruling to the effect that a requirement for that position be the previous holding of a lieutenantship on the fire squad. A motion was passed that the commission should act as an elective body during an assembly to be held for the choosing of the yell and song leaders. The uniforms of those chosen as yell leaders were purchased and will be kept as school property. Commissioners also prepared their departmental budgets. With the aid of the commission ' s appropria- tion of funds to be used on floats, Poly High School assisted the downtown merchants in the presen- tation of a Christmas parade. In response to a request from the Boys ' League officers asking for pins of office, temporary badges were granted, under the consideration that the League budget would allow for it. The pins will be school property, and each group of officers will use them. The commission adopted a new plan this year in reference to assemblies. All assemblies are to be scheduled ahead of time and approved by the commissioner under whose department they come. The signature of the commissioner of arts, in charge of assemblies, also must appear. In the last election the commission recom- mended to the student body three new amendments, two of which brought up to date the wording of the constitution in connection with athletic awards; the Top row— s.

All three amendments passed. I I As a new feature in commission procedure, the ' i-e was a formal installation of LI- the new members in February. First Gleam Hall, then Marian Caldwell, was placed in charge of this enterprise. Also, a banquet was held in January at the Brass Kettle Inn for the incoming and retiring commissioners. Marian Caldwell, Gleam Hall, and Mr. Sprong had charge of arrangements. COMMISSION 1931 WITH FOUR major projects to complete by tlie end of the year, the 1931 semester ' s board of commissioners has handled an important piece of work. A complete revision of the point system to suit the demands of the school ' s activities was worked out and changes were made in the necessary items. An elio;ibility com- mittee functioned, through which all candidates for managership of teams and class plays and for other appointive offices were passed before they were permitted to assume their offices. The eligibility committee was given a week to look up the personal and general fitness of the applicant for office; as a result of these investigations, no one person was permitted to hold more offices than he was able. Mr. Peniwell and Miss Lofland, advisers of commission, acted as the eligibility committee for this semester. Upon the suggestion of Mi. Peniwell, a recreational program was outlined for students during lunch periods. Plans for the in- stallation of a bowling alley, a ping-pong set, and other games for both boys and girls were made. The commission cooperated with the Boys ' League in this undertaking. Each commissioner had the duties of his parti- cular office to look after besides cooperation in all projects proposed and accepted by the student body. The commissioner of affairs was in charge of publicity, publications, scholarship, the point system, and general business of the school ; the commissioner of arts managed social aflfairs. assemblies, dramatics, music, and oratory; the commissioner of athletics handled all sports in which the school participated; the commissioner of safety was at the head of campus protection squads and aided in the enforcement of ground regula- tions; and the commissioner of welfare sponsored the executive branch of girls ' activities. Every commissioner was required to jilan a budget for each activitiy which he directed. [ o activity was allowed to run over its specified budget. Because of the overloading of some students with extra-curricular activities, the commission found it necessary and advisable to keep a careful check upon all student office-holders. Thus was made possible a more widely distributed student- participation in school affairs, which, after all, is the main objective in a democratic school government. U ) - ' ' tnA Top row— R. Buffum.

The first assembly of the year introduced to the girls their new adviser, league officers, and committee chairmen. Another, by popular request, presented Coach Walter Bell, who explained football plays and rules to the girls. The Christmas spirit was the theme of the November-December assembly, which featured a gigantic evergreen. The festival idea was enlarged upon by the erecting of a traditional Christmas-eve fire place in the main hall. A second tree was decorated for the courtyard of the main building. The last assembly was called for the purpose of installing the new officers of the league. The social hall was the scene of most of the events of importance during the semester; among these were a new girls ' party and a faculty tea, staged by the friendship committee. The welfare committee with the cooperation of the entire student body held two successful charity drives, one at Christmas and one at Thanksgiving. Orange, California, was the scene of the annual Girls ' League convention, which was attended by Marjorie Forsyth, president, and Betty Trever, recording-secretary. Miss Lofland was assigned a three-year role of elected member of the continuity committee of the federation. ADVISORY BOARD Back row— Miss Thomas (Adviser), L. Griffin, F. Mirick, L.

A lawn party in the afternoon featuring the wash dress contest for the best dress under two dollars, was an event to honor the mothers. It was attended by over three hundred persons. The contest was sponsored by the Uniform Board, and several prizes were given. The opportunity to vote upon a slight change in the uniform regulations was given to the girl«. The new ruling provided that any dark blue or black wool skirt would be acceptable; the old regulation had permitted only dark blue pleated skirts. The returns of the ballot resulted in an overwhelming majority of votes for the new rule. The advisory board took over the project of pointing out to the girls, through posters, gym class discussions, and examples, the unsanitary and ,„ , ,, , ' - 1 013 row — Louise Hendi-ix, i- ' re.s. ; dangerous conditions which exist in eoins; without b Rodgers, v.-Pres. ; Second row ° b _B.

Wild STUDENT CONTROL Thirty-three Thirty-four STUDENT CONTROL BOYS ' LEAGUE 1930 STAGING pep assemblies in the bleachers to arouse interest in coming football games was one of the Boys ' League activities during the 1930 semester. With the budgeted sum of seventy- five dollars from the commission, the League took over a new project in organizing a yell leaders ' club, with the new yell kings and others interested as members. Mr. Vermilva was appointed adviser, and George Fawcett was elected president. Upon an appeal made to the commission for emblems for the officers of the Boys ' League, temporary badges were granted. With the assist- ance of Mr. Bell, adviser of Boys ' League, the officers and appointed committeemen successfully planned the annual father and son banquet to honor the athletes and to present athletic awards. Judge Charles Wallace, Superintendent W. L. Stephens, Chief of Police Yancy, and Cecil Storey were speakers. An especially important branch of the League, Rope, Pres.: G. Cuip, the boys ' police squad, working in conjunction with Ro ' bi S;n, ' ' °Rec: the girls ' squad, has aided greatly in maintaining Hooper. Po- during assemblies and games and patrolling the grounds. In accordance with a new provision of the student body constitution this year, the boys ' chief is now elected as a semester officer and becomes a member of the League executive board. The chief for 1930 was Roy Hooper and for 1931, Fred Huber. Mr. Peniwell acted as adviser. BOYS ' POLICE Back row— L. Huggins, G. Warner, P. L. Peters; Second row- H Rascoe C. Robinson, A. Zambrano.

These new committees, each with an adviser and three members, have instituted a detailed curriculum for the past semester. The committees are those on self-government, social activities, welfare, public service, and the super- vision of Leaders ' Club. As delegates to the annual Boys ' League convention held at Alhambra early in March, Bob BuflFum, commissioner of affairs, Ralph Clinton, president, and Mr. Bell, faculty adviser, received much helpful information. The league chose Letterman ' s Club as its discussion unit for the semester. Besides having full charge of all pep assem- blies, the group sponsored a revolving loan fund, from which boys could secure emergency loans for lunch. The annual Lettermen ' s banquet was held late in May. An important group under the student control is the boys ' fire squad. This year Eugene Gulp acted as chief. Walter Mattocks was captain of the branch known as the fire prevention and first aid squad, which was formed this year and enjoyed the distinction of being the first organization of its kind in the schools of the United States.

The climax of the day comes at the passing bell for fifth period, when a dash is made for the bread line . Under the management of Mrs. Madge Cecil, the crew of fifteen regular helpers, assisted by twenty-three students doing part-time work, serve four periods during the day in an efficient manner. TICKET SELLERS TWOPERS in the correct sense of the word are these boys who have to spend their lunch periods dealing out tickets of all sorts to the student body. Under the directorship of Sergeant Griffin, adviser, and Donald Randall, ticket manager, this indispensible group has delivered lo the school from the commission window thousands of tickets for games, plays, debates, and assemblies.

A friendly atmosphere, efficient service, and modern equipment greet those entering its doors. Featuring, this year, the instal- lation of a new fountain service costing six thousand dollars, the store is steadily becoming one of the best-paying and most necessary enter- prises of all those conducted by the school. The management is handled by Miss Vivian Seton and Miss Meta B. Bergen. Miss Bergen con- ducts daily classes, in which students learn how to run the store and to serve the public in the best possible manner. One credit is given if the course is taken for two periods. The store has its appointed officials, the cabinet being comprised of the stock-room man, syrup mixer, stenographer, bookkeeper, clean-up man, store managers, and advisers. Much valuable experience is gained from the work in the store, especially by the managers. It is a notable fact that all of the past managers who have wished to do so have secured situations in branches of mercantile work and are now Back row— R. Race, C. Cramer, D. Truitt. M. Cunningham.

Carrying a line of goods almost as complete in some details as many down-town stores, the school-supported establishment boasts a complete line of candy and fountain goods, including the ever-popular ice, and an excellent line of school supplies, such as notebooks, paper, pens, pencils, and maps. The store also takes care of the sellinii of school pins and rings and the ordering of senior social cards. The student body store is open every period during the day with the exception of eighth. Fifth, sixth, and ninth are the heaviest periods. Fifteen workers are used for the first two periods mentioned. Several social affairs have been held by the workers in the store this year, including twd parties and one dinner.

Hudson Bal- lard, professor of religious education at Occi- dental College, addressed nearly two hundred graduates on the night of January 29, 1931 at the First Christian Church. The invocation by Reverend J. G. Klene was followed by the class farewell by John Wells, president of the class. Some of the class were going into business, he stated, others to the university: all owed debts of gratitude to the Board of Education, the faculty, and Mr. Burcham. Edith Kavanaugh, valedictorian of the class, said that education meant not merely the mastering of facts and the acquiring of knowl- edge but the enlarging of personality, understand- ing, and vision. After the presentation of diplomas by Mr. H. B. Clifton, president of the Board of Education, the drama of high school life closed for the February seniors.

Its air of hospitality encourages friendliness among students and teachers. Laura Hall Club House is the scene of informal good times for the girls of Hi Tri, and many committee meetings and gay parties are held before its cosy fireplace. Meetings of other clubs and organizations also take place here. The Chatterbox, charming annex to the house, is exceedingly popular during lunch time. The hospitable Girl Reserve room at the Y. W. C. A. offers a meeting place for the student clubs that desire to meet away from school. The tiny stage in this room encourages the presentation of many interesting programs and entertainments. The fireplace, comfortable lounges, piano, and other lovely furnishings make it an invit- ing spot. Another alluring club room is that of the boys at the . M. C. A. Tri-C and Hi Y hold meetings here, where fun-making is the theme. When school work is over for the day and the students are ready for pleasure, these meeting places present a fine opportunity for recreation. LI CLUBS One Hundred Te MILITARY BATTALION EVENTS THE POLYTECHNIC HIGH SCHOOL unit of the Reserve Officers ' Training Corps has completed a successful year. Work was car- ried on efficiently under the supervision and direction of Colonel B. B. Hyer and Sergeant B. H. Griffin. Officers ' school and non-commissioned officers ' school were held weekly. The commis- sioned officers, under the direction of Colonel Hyer, took up drill and command, rifle marksman- ship, scouting and patrolling, writing military messages, and map-reading. The non-commis- sioned officers, directed by Sergeant Griffin, studied first aid, scouting and patrolling, military courtesy, Colonel Hyer, Sergeant Griffin jiflg markmanship, and extended order drill. Every member of the unit was given an opportunity to study theoretical phases of R. 0. T. C. work and to meet the requirements for a position as student officer. Members of the unit made the annual trip to Fort MacArthur, where they observed present methods of anti-aircraft defense. Lieutenant Colonel Jerome G. Pillow, R. 0. T. C. officer. Ninth Corps Area, inspected ths unit early in March. He commented upon the exceptionally neat appearance of uniforms and the good condition of rifles and equipment. Led by the band, the unit marched in the Armistice and Memorial Day parades. Favorable comment was aroused by the unit ' s smart drill and appearance in the parades. The military training given in the Reserve Officers ' Training Corps helps greatly to equip its members for life by developing them physically and by promoting the qualities of self-control, hardiness, orderliness, self-confidence, observation, and self- respect. The development of loyalty, teamwork, leadership, and respect for law and drder prepares them for the duties of citizenship. COMMISSIONED OFFICERS C. Carter. Major; H. Wilson, Captain; W.

BAND MORE INTEREST has been manifested in the R. O. T. C. band this year than for several years past, according to Dwight Defty, instructor. The organiza- tion ' s membership was unusually large. The band marched in both the Armistice and Memorial Day parades. Members drill in uniform two days a week, providing music for military ceremonies of the R. 0. T. C. The remainder of the week is spent indoors, rehearsing. Members of the band have the same opportunity for appointment and promotion as officers and non-commissioned officers of the rest of the unit. To the capable instruction of Mr. Defty and to the fine cooperation among officers and men may be attributed the excellence of the organization ' s music and drill.

Last year Major Jack Galbreath received the award granted to the best officer in the unit. Sergeant LeVern Hadley was adjudged the best non-commissioned officer, and Wallace Gerhardt received the medal awarded the best private.

This year ' s social activities were especially well attended. Officers for the two semesters were commanders — Henry Wilson and Ralph Cooper; vice- commanders — John Klocksiem and Clyde Carter; adjutant-finance officers — William Barnes and Charles Dreiling; sergeants-at-arms — Ralph Cooper and Bernard Snyder. Colonel Hyer and Sergeant Griffin are ex-officio advisers. FENCING R. 0. T. C. students received fencing instruction with foils and broadswords this year. Besides affording recreation, fencing develops alertness, quickness of eye, and coordination of mind and muscle. Every student receives one period of primary fencing instruction from Colonel Hyer before being allowed to combat. R. Blakeney. B. Crosier, L. Downer. V. Fahrney. H. Webster, T. Westergard B.

Hovering at the wings of the stage are the dim ghosts of plays and operas long past — spirits from the old auditorium, restless in the vastness, the heights, and the depths of the new theatre. Peering around dull thick curtains, are yellow parchment- like faces and weird slant eyes of the dainty little lovers from Gilbert and Sullivan ' s Mikado . Theirs was the first story told on the old stage. Oyer their shoulders peek natty sailors from H. M. S.

As the footlights come up, the wraiths sink back into the gloom. There is a pause before the new play starts; players and audience alike are hushed and ex- pectant.

DRAMA One Hundred Thirty-three One Hundred Thirty-four DRAMA John Smallman EstPlle Gray-Lhevine Gilmor Brown CONGRATULATIONS AS THE completion of our auditorium draws near, Caerulea is happy to acknowledge the congratulations of the following outstanding representatives of music, drama, and speech aits in our own community and elsewhere. JOHN SMALLMAN, famous leader of the California A Capella Choir and director of the Los Angeles Oratorio Society: In an age when so little attention is apparently devoted to the higher arts, it is a very significant thing which has been accomplished by the Pol} ' technic High School in the completion of its new auditorium. The kind of work that Polytechnic High School has done in the past is deserving of such a magnificent structure; and that the latter will be an incentive to a much greater work in the future is a foregone conclusion. MADAM ESTELLE GRAY-LHEVINNE, renowned violin- ist who so delightfully entertained Polytechnic students in the April concert: May we express our sincere desire that Polytechnic High School ' s new auditorium will house the finest events of cultural and artistic nature. GILMOR BROWN, true artist and producing director of the Pasadena Community Players: May I congratulate the Long Beach Polytechnic High School on its new auditorium. I hope that it will be a real inspiration to students and faculty to do fine creative work in the arts of the theatre and to build up an appreciation of beauty and truth that will raise all public standards. GRAFTON P. TANQUARY, acting dean of tiie school of speech at the Univeisity of Southern California: It came to my attention the other day that Long Beach Polytechnic High School is building one of the finest auditoriums in Southern California. To one interested in the field of speech it is very gratifying arid also a great pleasure to hear of this. Mav I extend to vou niv heartiest congratulations. CLYDE DOYLE, Long Beach attorney and president of the Polytechnic student body in 1909: Congratulations to you all from a has been . I looked into your fl new auditorium the other day, and I want to tell you that the old stage and accom- modations that we had at Poly in 1909 were insignificant in comparison. I hope so many of you will become participants in the joy of activity in the drama, music, and public speakng in your new auditorium that you will make the soul of this community as rich as can be because of your happiness resulting from such parti- cipation. I rejoice with you in its acquirement. CONGRATULATIONS HERBERT L. CLARKE, nationally known director of the Long Reach Municipal Band: Congratulations to Polytechnic High School for their interest and good work in sponsoring the new auditorium, which will mean much to the culture of the students in music, drama, and the speech arts; also for the active part Caerulea has taken in making this a success. As my life work has been devoted to music in all branches, I shall take a personal interest in helping to cooperate with Polytechnic High School in any way for the benefit of all the students. LUCILLE G. KELLAM, secretary of the Long Beach Players ' Guild: The Long Beach Players ' Guild wishes to take this opportunity to congratulate the faculty and students of Polytechnic High School on the completion of their new auditorium. The splendid facilities offered by the complete- ness of your equipment presages a successful future for drama in the school; and they will, no doubt, increase interest in dramatic work on the part of the students. KATHERYN COFFIELD, founder of the Long Beach Civic Concert Course: It gives me a distinct feeling of satisfaction to know that your new auditorium is nearing completion. You have my heartiest congratulations and best wishes for the greater opportunity you will have in presenting increasingly better music, drama, and speech arts. DR. ARTUR RODZINSKI, conductor of the Los Angela- Philharmonic Orchestra: I wish to congratulate you on thr possibilities your new auditorium offers in the fine arts. TITO SCHIPA, internationally known grand singer: Allow me to express my congratulations opera n the completion of Polytechnic High School Auditorium, which will add greatly to the progress of the fine arts in this wonderful country. I hope to have the pleasure of visiting same on my return to beautiful Southern California. LEONARD G. NATTKEMPER, former head of the Polytechnic High School Speech Department: Rehearsals are over. It is time to raise the curtain. There it is, a beautiful auditorium, equipped with every appointment of convenience and advantage to present noble and influential thoughts in music, drama, and oratory. We are glad that students can now produce their civic-inspiring art and scholarship with pride and efficiency. Pupils, teachers, principal, superintendent, board of education, and citizens are all to be congratulated that such a building of beauty and utility adorns the high school campus. DRAMA One Hundred Thirty-five One Hundred Thirty-six DRAMA ROMAN BANQUET AMONG the outstanding ventures into drama for this year was the Roman banquet prepared and carried out for the first time in four years by the Latin department of Polytechnic High School assisted by the Contio Club. The event was held Friday, April 17, in the Social Hall under the direction of Miss Florence Kimball and Miss Lura Rau. The one hundred and twenty-five Latin students were dressed in Roman costumes. Owing to a scarcity of space the traditional couches were dispensed with, and the banquet was served at tables set in a triclinium form. After the dinner an operetta, Helen of Troy , was presented under the direction of Miss Carol Hovious and Miss Gertrude Backus. Classical dancing was upervised by Miss Peters. Mr. Moremen directed the singing. THE PUPPET PLAY A REAL student enterprise was the puppet play presented by one of Miss Cooper ' s 2A classes of 1930. After reading a Tale of Two Cities the students decided to dramatize a portion of the story. All the available books on puppetry were secured and devoured; then the work began. Virginia Coffman wrote a dramatization of three outstanding scenes. Lynell Skarda and Earl Sisson made the puppets; and Phyllis Jean Hale had charge of the costumes. The gentle- men wore real periwigs, frock coats, and shoes with bright buckles. The women were in the flowing robes of the time. Lucie Manette, the heroine, had long golden curls. This is the first time Polytechnic students have undertaken a dramatization in puppetry. Miss Cooper and her students deserve congratulations on their work. DRAMA One Hundred Thirty-seven One Hundred Thirty-eight DRAMA DRAMA REVIEW W: ITH THE completion of a fine new audito- rium, P0I5 ' dramatics, long recognized as one of the major school activities, will occupy a more important position than heretofore. With a larger new stage and modern equipment as an in- centive and inspiration, the coaches and dramatic students of Polytechnic High School will undoubtedly rise to even higher levels in their histrionic efforts. Poly dramatics had naturally far outgrown the old auditorium and meager equipment. Now the new structure will enhance the pleasure for both the audience and the participants in dramatic events. This season has been a successful and busy one for the Poly coaches and students. Under the excellent directorship of Arthur B. Gleditzsch and Lillian V. Breed, the dramatic offerings have met with acknowledged success. Especially outstanding were the class plays, Cyclone by George M. Cohan, and Jonesy by Anne Morrison and Michael Tooey. Masque and Sandal, Poly ' s dramatic society, also attained excellence in the presentation of several fine plays. In addition, casts were chosen and group work was done on several other plays. Twice the sphere of activities was widened when, outside of the regular school presentations, Cyclone was given for the Women ' s City Club at the Ebell Clubhouse and Love is Like That was played at Franklin Junior High School. Group poetry reading and a clever one-act Japanese play were innovations introduced by Miss Breed in her dramatics classes. UNISON POETRY GROUP Back row — L. Gergen, S. Yancy, B. Pincher, K.

The play, written by Mr. and Mrs. Williams, concerned the almost tragic adventures of the hero, Clarence, among the red men. A most realistic lion and pet donkey with a wicked bray provided most of the merriment for the amused audience. Two Indian braves also came in for their share of the fun by doing a snake-like wiggle across the stage in the most Lad-ees and Gentlemen- approved prone position. War whoops and dancing gave atmosphere to the whole production. An absent-minded professor, true to tradition, tip-toed his way around with a mammoth butterfly net in search of rare specimens . The play reached a climax with Clarence in the clutch of the Indians until, quite miraculously, a huge bird flew down out of the compassionate heavens and saved him from a cruel death. When not touring the cities of the United States with their tiny actors, the Williams make their residence in Hollywood, where they have their workshop for repairing old properties and constructing new. Their marionette show was the first ever to be given on the old Poly stage. On February 21 during 5th and 6th periods, assemblies were given to advertise Caerulea and the approaching ticket sale. The program was appropriately carried out with a puppet dance in emulation of the Williams ' puppets, portrayed by Guida Wilson, Eloise Hovey, and Aloha Young in fantastic costumes and head dresses de- signed and made by the art department. PUPPET GIRLS Guida Wilson, Aloha Young, Eloise Hovey LI DRAMA One Hundred Thirty-nine One Hundred Forty DRAMA SENIOR PLAY , rTlHE AMUSING George M. Cohan farce, y •www r ' ' fJEi ' ' I Cyclone , furnished the vehicle for the highly UBflMpHll successful senior class play of 1930. The plot iV ' V ' jBB ■ of the play centered about a pop-eyed, shaggy-haired R S ' BBIhB Pekingese dog, Cyclone , the question of whose ' ■ 1 n ownership created coniplications galore in the lives o( |jr M three couples. Marion Caldwell was a happy choice  f .w B for the part of Jessie Hurley, tempestuous but lovable young wife, who is kept in a state of almost constant hysteria, first over the loss of her dog, and then over the threatened loss of her husband. George Sweet as X N fflj BI her husband. Gene, gave a most natural and satis- tll ' .i factory characterization and won the sympathy of the George Sweet audience. Rodney Markley as Joseph Meadows, Marion Caldwell eligible bachelor, and Marjorie Forsyth, playing his fashionable debutante fiancee, offered finished portrayals of the second young couple whose romance narrowly escapes being shattered by the innocent canine. Mary K. Shaw and Edward Grisinger merit praise for their dignified depiction of the older married couple. Each of the other members of the cast had his share of witty lines and contributed royally to the hilarity. An ingenuous denouenisnt brought three bewildered, pop-eyed dogs to their owners. The student director was Gleam Hall; business manager, Marjorie Hoyt; costume mistresses were Rosalie Thome and Florence Mirick; prompters, Georgia McDavid and Thelma Lindsay. Much of the ex cellency of the production was due to the coaching of Arthur B. Gleditzsch. CAST Evans Robert Buffum Cassidy . Tom CuUen Crandall Virginia Johnson Kellog ....

In an amusing, fast- moving style, the trials of the Jones family were exposed. Len Carey was perfectly cast as the son, Wilbur, whose gambling, love affairs, and various escapades caused his family much anxietv. Jane Cunningham and Russell Zink gave excellent per- formances as the distracted parents endeavoring to maintain the family ' s social position, which wai- threatened by the sons unseemly actions. Billv Morgan, wealthy house-guest and friend of Wil- bur, was well played by Jack Murray. The greatest excitement of all was caused when Wilbur forgot his neighborhood sweetheart, lola Josephson, to fall in love with an actress, charmingly portrayed by Marian Garner. All would have been lost had it not been for the business relations of Mr. Jones with Stanley Jackson, whom Lvle Huggins impersonated with dignity and reserve. Lois Griffin gave a convincing enactment of Anne, Wilbur ' s sister; and June Russell was exceedingly clever as the little maid. Every player in the minor roles gave his earnest and whole-hearted support. Betty Robertshaw was the student director; Lyie Huggins, business and advertising manager; Amelia Shaw and Joan Seymour, costume mistresses; Thais Greene and Anna Maude Roberts, promptresses.

The fast-moving plot concerned the trouble that the psychology of dreams brought to a happy family. The cast included Lyle Huggins as Stephen Brewster; Mary K. Shaw, Henrietta, his wife; and Betty Robertshaw, Mabel, Henrietta ' s sister. Masque and Sandal offered as its first presentation this year a one-act play. Appearances ' . This comedy presented the amusing situation of a young and penniless widow trying to keep up a show of wealth. Jean Millner played Mrs. Margaret Van Cortland; Russell Zink was Judge Dudley Benton; lola Josephson was Fanny, the maid; Arthur Mounce was Rosenthal. MASQUE AND SANDAL PLAYS The bleak Arctic was the scene of the dramatic play, The Brink of Silence . In such a grim setting a tense story of adventure and self-sacrifice unfolded. It was Masque and Sandal ' s most ambitious dramatic attempt. The cast was made up of Arthur Mounce as Cole, LeVern Hadley as Macready, George Sweet as Darton, and Paul Riley as Johnson. A sophisticated comedy, Love is Like That , was given for the drought relief fund. The plot concerns a girl who revolts against her mother ' s choice of husband. With the encouragement of her modern grandmother, the girl finds elopement with her real lover the solution to her problem. The cast included Elnora Melgreen as the daughter, Betly Kennedy as the mother, and Estelle Reed as the grandmother. DRAMA One Hundred Forty three One Hundred Forty-four DRAMA MUSIC REVIEW POLY HIGH has a music department that is little short of being a conservatory in its subjects offered and faculty in charge. This year Miss Sara Pepple has been acting head. For the serious student a two-year course in harmony is offered. Mrs. Marion Higgins has charge of this subject. She teaches the violin courses and a string ensemble. From this ensem- ble violinists are prepared for the orchestra. The popular glee clubs of Mr. Raymond Moremen have proved to be of great credit to Poly. They are always ready to serve the school. All members are accorded the privileges of solo development. Instructing the student who is not a performer but wishes to be an intelligent listener, Miss Sara Pepple offers interesting classes in music apprecia- tion. Coaching all soloists of the glee clubs is a part of her work. To the members of the orchestras opportunity is provided for ensemble work. Mr. Dwight Defty is the conductor of those organizations and of the bands. Mr. Anthony Gill is in charge of a class in wind instruments. In the piano classes students receive training equivalent to that of private instruction. Beginners and advanced players enroll for this work in the classes of Miss Edith Wyant. Offering the singer of limited experience a class for development, Miss Kriith flelen Macartney has accomplished unusual work Top row — Sara Pepple, Raymond Moremen: Sei-ond roi Wyant, Marion Higgins; Third row —Dwight Defty, Helen Macartney; jth the two choruses.

Gill ROLLA ALFORD A CAPELLA CHOIR ARTISTS ' CONCERTS UXDER THE dirortion of Miss Sara Pepplc the music department has been uniisuallv successful in securing for their concert series this year such artists as the Russian Chorus. Charles Kellog. Madame Grey-Llevinne. her son Laddie Gray, and the RoUa Alford n capella choir. The entire faculty and stmienl body are indebted to the music department for the opportunity of hearing these noted artists at no cost whatever. The Royal Russian Chorus appeared in the first concert of the year in December. Their popularity with the audi?nce was extraordinary. Besides singing many of their native songs and some American ones, such as Ole Man River , they presented a group of Russian folk and ballet dances. The spring concert introduced the noted bird man. Charles Kellog. He gave many amusing demonstrations of sound vibrations and presented an unusual pro- gram of bird singing and whistling. Directions for summoning an earthworm chorus were given for those who might want to hear some music out of their lawns. In -A.pril the world-famous violinist, Madame Estelle Gray-Llevinne. appeared in a concert in conjunction with her talented young son. Laddie Gray. The boy was dressed as the young Wolfgang Mozart, whose work was among his selections. Madame Gray-Llevinne ' s program was pleasing, and the piano renditions of Master Gray displayed cleanness of technique and a charm of presentation unusual in so young an artist. A local organization, the a capella choir of Mr. Rolla Alford, whose singing is always welcome to Long Beach audiences, was scheduled for June. Several mem- bers belong to the faculty and student body of Polytechnic High School. RUSSI. X CHORUS MUSIC One Hundred Forty-fve One Hundred Forty-six MUSIC SENIOR GIRLS ' GLEE PREPARED with a versatile program that offered beauty of tone and precision of attack, the Senior Girls ' Glee Club never failed to win their audience. They were ready to serve the school whenever the opportunity presented itself. In conjunction with the training received from group singing, members were accorded the privilege of solo development. The year was marked with great success. Upholding their traditions, the club initiated the season with the annual slee club concert. At this time they appeared in their colorful new uniforms. Following this was the Christmas concert, a recital of lasting impressiveness and sacred beauty. As a fitting climax to school presentations the cantata, Land of Heart ' s Desire , of Ethelbert Nevin was presented on March 5 by both the junior girls ' and senior girls ' glee clubs. It was repeated on the evening of the same day for the benefit of the Parent-Teacher Association. The club ' s appearance on the program of the State Music Teachers ' Convention was one of the high spots of the season. The members were accorded this honor for the excellence of their a capella singing. The program was presented at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles on April first. From the outset of the season Mr. Raymond Moremen demonstrated a quality of leadership which enabled him to raise the standards of the glee clubs to their present height. His popularity was deserved by his admirable conducting and directing. Accompanying the club at the piano was Miss Sara Pepple. At all times her accompaniment served as a balanced foundation. Officers for the organization were chosen by popular choice. For the first semester Dorothy Dilday was president; Marjorie Forsyth, vice-president; Margorie Morse, secretary; and Estelle Reed, treasurer. For the second semester Estelle Reed was president; Kathryn Lindsey, vice-president; Vivian Miller, secretary; and Evelyn Jarvis, treasurer. Back row — J. Miller. E. G. Runyon. K. Stewart, M.

Huntley BOYS ' GLEE CLUB IF DEMAND for their presence in recitals by the many public organizations of Long Beach and the Polv Hiph student body is a criterion of popularity, the Boys Glee Club is one of the most popular organizations on the cani|)us. The year was marked with a series of successes. The club ushered in the past season with the annual glee club concert. They at once received the approval of the student body. Then came the Christmas concert which greatly pleased the audience with the sanctity of its music and the effective- ness of its presentation. The year has been an exceptionally busy one for the singers. In May they presented a far tasia in three different sets. The music was an arrangement of American negro spirituals, and Russian and English folk songs. The songs were dramatized by oral expression students. A community program was given for the congregation of the First Methodist church. The club also sang for the Exchange Club, the Rotarians, the Knights of the Round Table, the members of the Congregational Church, the Ebell Club, the Teachers ' Institute, and for Radio Station KGER. The club, together with the Senior Girls ' Glee Club, had the honor of taking part in a program before the State Music Teachers ' Convention at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles on April 1. They also presented a final program for the student body during the last week of May. At all the appearances of the club the selection, arrangement, and direction of interesting and varied music made Raymond Moremen, director, popular both with the boys and with his audiences. Miss Sara Pepple ably accompanied the boys in all their recitals and practices. During the first semester Ed Grisinger was president of the organization; Bob Buffum, vice-president; Russell Zink, secretary; and Rod Markley, treasurer. For the second semester Arthur Jaissle served as president; John Fulton, vice- president; John Reed, secretary; and William Julian, treasurer. Back row — B. Kbrieht. K. Markley. W. Orris, B.

JUNIOR GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB ONE OF the most pleasing and efficient of musical organizations at Poly High is the Junior Girls ' Glee club. Among the most outstanding presentations of the group this year were the annual glee club concert, the Christmas concert, and in conjunction with the Senior Girls ' Glee Club, the cantata, I and of Heart ' s Desire . Following out a traditional custom, the club led the daisy chain at the February and the June Commencements.

The young musicians were organized into two orchestras, wherein concert master, principals, and librarians faithfully performed their work. Their repertoire included movements from symphonies, suites, and standard overtures. Exchanging concerts with other schools, playing at February and June com- mencement exercises, and giving programs for the Pacific Coast Club were among the engagements of the first orchestra throughout the year.

Providing real entertainment at the games with their playing, colorful stunts, and formations, under the direction of Uwight S. Defty, they gained for theniselves a reputation of merit and accomplish- ment. The band performed at Polv g.imes both at home and away. At the annual firemen ' s and policemen ' s football game Poly ' s band represented the firemen. Parades and holiday celebrations were also on their bookings. For the second year Walter Matthie was the drum major. Fred Tavlor served as the color sergeant and Morris McFarlen, the drum sergeant. Poly High ' s band was the first in Southern California to initiate a color guard into its organization.

It was a program that exacted the utmost from its interpreters. Dedicating, as in past years, their presentation to Miss Ethel Ardis, the clubs participated in one of the most impressive ceremonies of the year. A new feature, that of antiphonal singing, was initiated with the Glee Clubs in the balcony and the chorus in the orchestra. Opening the concert, a string ensemble played a lyric prelude, The Shepherds in the Manger . Singing the processional, Hark the Herald Angels Sing , the chorus entered with stately rhythm. The combined clubs achieved a tone of unusual beautv in Break Forth, Heavenly Light and the First Noel . ' y f CHRISTMAS CONCERT Performance of Glory to God in the Highest and A Babe Lies in the Cradle by the Senior and Junior Girls ' Glee Clubs was followed by the presentation of an impressive reading of the old Song of Angels . Purity of tone marked the chorus ' offering, Seraphic Strain . The Boys ' Glee Club gave a commendable performance of While Shepherds Watched . Rendition of What a Wonder and Three Kings by the combined clubs demonstrated surprising skill. The Visualization, depicting scenes of the Nativity, was effectively staged by the oral expression classes of Arthur Gleditzsch. As a fitting climax came the Hallelujah Chorus , in which glee clubs and chorus were joined by the entire audience in a paeon of Christmas joy. MUSIC One Hundred Fifty-three One Hundred Fifty-four MUSIC LAND OF HEART ' S DESIRE SUPERIORITY in endeavor is attained through developing to the utmost degree one ' s individual gifts. The audiences that filled the auditorium on March the fifth and heard the cantata Land of Heart ' s Desire of Ethelbert Nevin by the girls ' senior and jimior glee clubs were well aware that the singers were trained in sensitiveness and tonal attack. Equally successful was the audience in its under- standing and appreciation of this work. The narrative of the libretto concerns the Lady of Seville. Suitor after suitor she has refused. Her favorite one, a noted knight, goes on a quest of the Land of Heart ' s Desire. He does not return. The second scene depicts her wraith as it haunts the fountain whence the knight has set out on his pilgrimage. LAND OF HEART ' S DESIRE It would be difficult to imagine a more artistic baritone rendition from a high school student than the one that William Julian gave. His singing was at all times convincing. Furthermore he revealed a voice of cello-like timbre — mellow and resonant. Mary Lindsay ' s soprano voice displayed vocal beauty. The contralto Kolo of Marjorie Wrinkle proved exceedingly pleasing. The presentation was under the direction of Miss Sara Pepple and Mr. Raymond Moremen. A dramatization of the text was given by Miss Lillian Breed ' s oral expression classes and added much to the effectiveness of the production, as did also the interpretative dances presented by the students of Miss Elva Gates ' rythms class and the colorful staging by Miss Hoff and her students. MUSIC C ne Hundred Fifty-five One Hundred Fifty-six SPEECH ARTS SPEECH ARTS VERY phase of this year ' s forensic endeavor was characterized hy success. The credit for this achievement was due largely to the faithful work of Mr. McCay and Mr. Jamison, assisted hy Miss Farnsworth and Miss Harrison, who coached the interclass teams. The managers, John Packman, John Redman, Lillian Hixon, John Sherman, and Mary K. Shaw were also, to a great extent, responsible for the year ' s success. The sophomore class, represented by Ed Saylor and Maurice Atkinson, for the second con- secutive year was able to carry off interclass debate honors. In varsity debate Poly High gained exceptional honors by winning two 3 to decisions and one 2 to 1 decision. This achievement gave Poly High a wide advantage over other schools in the run for championship. Three other schools tied for second place; therefore it became necessary lo hold a quadrangular debate late in May. The results of these debates will appear in the 1932 Caerulea. Among the subjects debated by Poly students were the policy of paying expenses of college athletes, a college education for the masses, a government fund for public works, tendencies in vocational education, the power trusts, employ- ment of married women in civil service and school positions, the environment of modern vouth, and tendencies of the machine age. The Constitutional Contest not only surpassed that of last year in the number of entrants, but the attainment of the individual speakers was unusual- ly high. While those who placed in the finals showed exceptional ability, the greatest showing perhaps was made by the hundreds of sophomore entrants, most of whom had had little experience in public speaking. The World Problems Contest witnessed a great growth of popularity in the student body this year. This was undoubtedly due to the wide variety of subjects included in the contest as well as to the attractive prizes contributed by various organizations and clubs in the city. The extemporaneous speaking contest was also an attractive feature of the year, in that it represented a fairly accurate cross section of the Poly student body. This year a new feature, that of presenting a group of outstanding athletes as speakers, was added. In accordance with an established policy of the department, speaking classes cooperated in every way to put over school projects. Throughout the year members of the group have spoken in sections in the interest of various campaigns. During public school week many debaters and orators were called on to deliver radio Top row — Mr. McCay, Mr. Jamison; Second row — Miss Farnswortli. Miss Harrison; Tliird ro ' v — M. Shaw, Const.

Polytechnic High School met Bakersfield High School on November 17. Eugene Nida and Russell Cullen defended Poly s debate standard and defeated Bakersfield by a unanimous decision on the subject. Resolved, that the tendency toward a multi|)licily of non- academic curricula in the high school should be deplored. Nida and Cullen upheld the negative of the question and presented an argument to justify curricular expansion in the modern school. The subject proved of vital fascination, for it dealt with the fundamental factors underlying the present educational policy over the entire United States. The Bakersfield team presented a skillfully pre- pared analysis of the question. By a unanimous decision Howard Patrick and Alfred Berry defeated the Alhambra debate team. Phyllis Norton and Roy Johnston, on the question. Resolved, that this house should favor public ownership and operation of all power sites ' . Poly ' s team, upholding the negative, presented the question from two standpoints: first, that public regulation should be given a fair trial; second, that public ownership would introduce new and worse evils than exist in the present system. Patrick, captain of the championship debate team of Southern California for 1929; and Berry, mem- ber of the winning inter-class debate team of 1930, J --- - p l tTe l - ' s A not only presented a logical and comprehensive ™ ;j ro,,; l ' ' ' ;.,.y R cuiien; survey of the question but won their audience with Fourth row— e. Nida their forceful appeal for private ownership and operation of all power sites. Patrick showed that the policy advanced by the affirmative would not only lead to unfortunate circumstances because it involved political control, but also that it would be an impossibility because of the large sums of money involved. The Alhambra team seriously challenged the negative argument. In the last league debate of the series, Howard Patrick and Maurice Atkinson insured Poly High School of a run for the championship when they defeated Clara Green and James Jacobs of Hollywood High School in a two to one decision on the question, Resolved, that the Emmett Bill. Number 1630, which would prohiisit the employment of married women by state, county, city-county, and city governments, should be enacted into law . Patrick and Atkinson in upholding the negative of this proposition contended that the bill was unconstitutional, economically unsound, and socially detrimental. Atkinson forced the issue of unconstitutionality and exposed the economic fallacies of the bill. Patrick convincingly pointed out the social detri- ments that would inevitably arise as the result of such blanket legislation. SPEECH ARTS One Hundred Fifty-seven One Hundred Fifty-eight SPEECH ARTS CONSTITUTIONAL CONTEST PERHAPS no other constitutional contest held in Poly High has created so wide-spread an interest as the one of this year. The total number of participants in the class room preliminaries was over nine hundred, approximately one-fourth of the student body. On April 8 the final contest was held in the auditorium before a triple fourth-period assembly. The speeches of the eight finalists were all of high merit. Howard Patrick, speaking on Democracy at the Cross- roads , won first place; the others, in order of their rank, were Ralph Clinton, Jane Julian, Eugene Nida. Lois BufEum, Marjoiie Forsyth, Frank Cron, and Jack Reynolds. The judges were W. L. Stephens, superintendent of schools; Asa E. Fickling, mayor; Mrs. John Edgar, member of the Board of Education; F. Darwin Smith, president of the California College of Commerce; G. Wellington Pierce, pastor of Bay-Shore Community Church; Judge Charles Cook, of the municipal court; and Judge Charles Wallace, of the municipal court. S. S. Conklin of the Press-Telegram awarded the perpetual trophy which the newspaper has given to the school and on which the names of each year ' s winners are to be inscribed. Mary K. Shaw, presiding as manager, presented the cash prizes, which totalled one-hundred and fifteen dollars and ranged from forty dollars for first place to five for the last three places. Arthur Jamison coached. Awarded first place in the district contest at Colton, April 24, and honored as one of the seven surviving contestants out of 170,000 original entrants from Cali- fornia, Arizona, and Nevada, Howard Patrick carried Poly ' s standard to the Times Grand Finals held May first at the Shrine Auditorium. Tying for first place with Carl F. Dodge of Nevada on the first ballot, Howard was awarded third place by a final ballot based on percentages. Mr. Jamison (Adviser), R. Clinton, M. K. Shaw, E. Nida, J. Julian, H. Patrick, M. Forsyth, F. Cron, L. Buffum, J. Reynolds, L. Hixon Howard Patrick WORLD PROBLEMS CONTEST STUDENT interest in the World Problems Contest has increased rapidly since its inception three years ago. This fact is due primarily to the wide range of subjects allo ved, to the vital interest that such prob- lems hold, and to attractive monetary awards offered by city service clubs to the winners. The 1930 spring contest featured especially fine orations. In a double fourth-period assembly nine speakers contended for the awards. Jane Julian, who also won the finals of the Southern California oratorical contest, took first place, delivering a powerful challenge for individual initiative in bringing about world peace. Speaking on Prohibition Victorious , Howard Patrick received second recognition; and Eugene Nida and Ralph Clinton, with The Problems of America and Prohibi- tion respectively, tied for third. The other speakers and their subjects were as follows: Maurice Atkinson. The War Debts ; Ed Saylor, The Problem of India ; J ' ' J Charles Bittel, The New India ; Rosella Shikora, The New Nation of Czecho- slovakia ; Russell Cullen. Our Protective Tariff . The World Friendship Forum contributed prize money, which was divided into three awards of twenty-five, fifteen, and ten dollars. Mr. McCay, assisted by Mrs. Hazelet, conducted the contest. Approximately two hundred and fifty students competed in this year ' s World Problems contest. All public speaking classes held eliminations. Each contestant oave a three-minute speech on some national or international problem. On April 27, tweny-one students spoke in the second round of elimination. Of this number six were chosen to contest in the finals. They were Marie Hargrove, Ed Saylor, Eugene Nida, Ralph Clinton, Lillian Hixon, and Maurice Atkinson. Mr. McCay, Mr. Gleditzsch, Mr. Jamison, and Mrs. Barr, coaches, deserve much credit for the success of the contest. H. Patrick. R. Clinton. (Adviser) E. Saylor, J. Julian, E. Nida, R. Shikora. C. Bittel, Mr. Jamison SPEECH ARTS One Hundred Fifty-nine One Hundred Sixty SPEECH ARTS DEMOCRACY AT THE CROSS ROADS By Howard Patrick An epitome of tlie speech awarded first place in tlie 1931 Preliminary Constitution Contest THE UNITED STATES has attained an incomparable eminence in the evolution of human civilization. Americanism has become a burning question today in political, economic, and cultural discussions. The dominant position of Ahierica — her political power, her economic expansion, her moral influence — is startling the entire world. We have advanced from the position of a weak, im- mature, and isolated nation in the throes of financial distress to that of the strongest, most respected, and certainly the most prosperous nation in the world. In one hundred and forty-one years of constitutional government we have clearly and successfully demonstrated the value of government of the people, bv the people, and for the people. More than a century of opportunity for the development of all that is best in human institutions is the life story of the United States. INotwithstanding our mateiial prosperity and political eminence, our country, today, in the year 1931, is at war! The vital question at issue is whether the forces of government or the forces of outlawry shall dominate our civilization. We live in an age of base and sordid commercialism, which is ever contributing to the delin- quency of constituted authority. Is the American ideal simply material progress? To reduce the spiritual to the moral, and the moral to the social is the pastime of many of our people. America is still the criminal ' s paradise, the agitator ' s play- around, and the lawbreaker ' s haven. When every honest and patriotic citizen, regardless of his political views, is man enough to stand with his country ' s servants and demand the immediate and merciless destruction of the enemies of civilization, then crime will be suppressed — and not until then. Today the nations are at unrest. We are ex periencing political revolutions that are rocking the national foundations of the world. Communism is pressing in at every hand. Fascism lurks near to grasp and to encourage an ever-increasing army of adherents. The world at large is awaiting the results of these new experi- ments in government with curiosity and fascination. Democracy, as we know it. stands at a crisis. We are victims of a crucial period when courage and character of purpose must be our guiding forces. There is no greater or more imperative need in this country today than an increasingly manifest appreciation of our oppor- tunities and privileges under a democracy. It must be realized that democracy is not automatic, that today we are building tomorrow. We must remember that in a representative government law must be supreme; that when the people of a nation make their own laws, if they will not obey those laws, there will come a time when they will passively submit to a power that can enforce obedience. Our nation was builded upon character, was preserved by character, and must be perpetuated by character. I am hopeful that there may arise in our coming generation voung men and women who will catch a vision of the task that is theirs. n The youth of America must make this country the guiding force in the ultimate achievement of world democracy. Again, in our national history we must wisely hi-ed the trenchant words of Washington, The time has come to raise a standard. , ' en though we are beset by national unrest, widespread economic depression, and moral laxity, I am confident that our future rests secure. We have never failed. We cannot fail! WORLD I ' KACl ' , By Jane Julian An epitome of tlie winning: speeoh in tlu ' in:tO World Prnhlems Contest THE STORY of mankind ' s deveIoi)ment from savagery to civilization is larfjelv a record of the struggle between the spirit of peace, gentleness, and love: and that of violence, hatred, and slauchter. Primitive man settled not onlv his individual hut his political disputes by means of physical violence. In recent times, selfish individuals, whose sole aim in life has been the acquisition of worldlv possessions, have placed property above humanity and wealth above liberty. Unscrunulous politicians have toved with human lives in order to gratify personal whims and pettv ambitions. The contention that pro- longed peace is demoralizing to a nation and that war is a necessary purgative has been preached by canting rationalists and believed by the unthinking masses. Never- theless political idealists have dreamed of the day when human beings will abolish war and in its stead establish a regime of universal brotherhood and under- standing. With the coming of Christianity there has arisen a wide-spread dissatisfaction, on the part of the more enlightened peoples of the earth, with the barbarous and futile method of establishing justice between nations. Our minds are still filled with the horror of the great World War — with the utter futility of it — the incalculable loss to life and property. We are thankful for the good which resulted from the recent conference of the nations at London, England. But this conference did not go far enough. It is time we did more than merely limit the building of battleships. It is time we limited the building of bombing planes, of submarines- and mightv guns. It is time we outlawed the manufacture of poison gas and shrapnel explosives. It is time we turned into peaceful channels the vast sums of money annually expended upon airmaments. When the world abolishes war, poverty will be abolished also. When we begin to think in terms of peace, we shall have peace. The only way to bring about a lasting condition of peace is to educate the masses to look upon war as a relic of savagery which can have no place in the modern civilized world. The coming generation must be educated for peace. We must stress in our histories the horror of war instead of its glory. We must cease teaching our children to hate the other races because the pigment of their skin, or the slant of their eves, or the texture of their hair is different from our own. Let us exploit in our news reels and in our civic processions the attributes of peace rather than the beauty and grandeur of impressive military paraphernalia. We must train our youth to detest the practice of taking human lives to settle international disputes. War must be placed in the category of crime instead of honor. When the citizens of the world are educated to loath war and to revolt at the verv thought of militarism — then, and not until then, will the nations of the world be ready to settle their political, social, and economic troubles around a table of arbitration; then, peace pacts and international treaties will carry lasting weight. Now the time has come to test the sincerity of the American people and the American government. The greatest opportunity for leadership the world has ever known lies at our feet. Let us take up the challenge. Let us make the will of America the will of the world. The destinies of unknown tomorrows hang upon what America does, or fails to do, today. SPEECH ARTS One Hundred Sixty-one One Hundred Sixty-two SPEECH ARTS Edgar Saylor, Maurloe Atkinson INTERCLASS DEBATE MAURICE ATKINSON and Edgar Saylor, interclass debate winners, withstood the attacks of both the junior team, Lillian Hixon and Jane Cunningham; and the senior team, Austin Rafferty and Gilbert Peyton. The two questions were Resolved, that the tendency toward a multiplicity of non-academic courses in the high school should be deplored , and Resolved, that the machine age has brought more misery than happiness . FARCE DEBATE POLY ' S farce debate was the unique forensic event of the year.

WRITTEN IN THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL By Tom Alden Cullen I There is an ancient, cloyinp sweetness about mnsic when heard in a setting of rustic tranquillity . . . a sweetness that seeks its incentive from nature, from shimmering, silver-green trees and darker hills. Perhaps the setting is an ancient Greek theatre and the music reminiscent of Pindaric poetry; again the setting may be the gilt splendor of a Mayan temple and the music clashing with barbaric rhythms; still the music retains an elusive, ephemeral beauty that cannot be captured in the concert hall . . . II Picture a symphony under the stars in the Hollywood Bowl . . . Stars that are tiny phosphorescent scratches on the black-lacquered surface of the night . . . A nieht that is like an ancient barquentine launched on a mythical sea of vapor a thousand years ago. Music that diffuses like golden grains of sand on a shallow wave then slowly, majestically recedes . . . People in shadowy, motionless groups held by the spell of silence, people who have grown old and wise quite suddenly during the progress of the night . . . They are like bearded sages silting among the awe-inspiring ruins of a classic amphitheatre; Around them lie the massive cubes of fallen marble columns in antiquarian confusion . . . Tendrils of music drift upward to them through marble crevices like smoke rising from ruins where the fire is spent. COMPETITION AND HONORS One Hundred Sixty-seven One Hundred Sixty-eight COM PET I ON AND HONORS HIS BREAK By Hazel Garwood THE FOND male jjarent of Ted Lucas finished folding the evening paper and threw it on a near-by chair, displaying a sudden interest in the topic of the evening, namely, whether his son should continue his hazardous dramatic career or not. I tell vou Ted, Janice or no Janice, Harrylores are not made by the whim of a girl who fancies she sees a resemblance in her dearly beloved ' s physiognomy. I ' m telling you, the best thing that you can do during vacation is to come out on the job, start at the beginning, work until college opens in the fall, and cut out all this acting stuff that you learned in that high school club. My dramatics teacher said I was a wow; even Janice told ine I was keen when I screamed in the s.3nior play. If you folks had as much confidence in me as Janice — Bah! his father ridiculed, Starting this young in life to let the weaker sex influence you! What will it be when you are my age? I know. You ' ll be just another animated robot. I tell you, boy, you ' ll lay down the law now or never. Henry! his wife objected. See! Didn ' t I tell you? You ' ll learn! Last year it was that welfare drive hen you contracted the chicken pox from delivering those groceries for Janice and her friends. Soon after that, you fractured an arm, just because that fool girl had a. sudden craze for football heroes. Then she induced you to try out for that senior play. Well, that was one thing that you didn ' t flop at. But as for the movies, boy that is impossible. What has the girl on hsr mind now? She ' s just wild about Don Filbert, Don Harrylore, and all of those mighty men of the screen. She knows what a big success I was in the senior play, that I leally like it, and has induced her uncle, who is a director, to let me try out for an extra piece in his new picture, Ten Paces , centered about the French revolution. I suppose that you ' ll be guillotined in this. Oh no, Dad, just tortured. Before I pass out, I ' ll give one of my masterpieces, a blood-curdling howl. It ' s not a very big role, but it ' s a chance for a break. A, a what? He cleared his throat. A break. It ' s like this. Molly Doran got hers one day when she stubbed her toe getting on a trolley car. A director happened to be passing. Well, that was iL-rs. Floria Thompson ' s pet dog died the morning that she was called as an extra; iiid as an eniulional actress, there is no one better. It ' s the way fate lines up your program. Ted. satisfied thaJ he had none one more sle|) in modenii iiiL! his lathi vocabulary and feelins; his oration convincing, went on : And now. if vou folks will excuse nie, I shall retire, as I nuist he on the lot tomorrow morning. Ted puffed out his chest, arched his eyebrows, and marched up the stair-case and into his room, in imitation of one of Janice ' s screen idols whom he had seen once when he had been roped in on a dinner party. Long after the willful protege had disappeared, he was the subject of a heated discussion downstairs. Just leave it to me, concluded Mr. Lucas. 1 will see her. . fter twenty years, I ought to know how to manage women. At ten o ' clock, the morning of the next day, shrill cries echoed and re-echoed down halls and against sets depicting typical torture charrhers, quaint French dwell- ing, and a conglomeration of scenery in disarray, ready lO be set in plac . At the farthest corner, two people disgustedly surveyed the ambitious youth. Come on; put some terror into it. Strain a tonsil. You ' re getting weaker. One, two, three — Again a poor imitation of the real thing. Rotten! Think of — Say, what are you doing hare? A slender, feminine figure dashed across the floor and observed Ted sorrowfully. She was all curls and fluffiness. just the type a romantic youth would fall for. Oooh, she gushed. Are these mean, ugly brutes hurting my noble Teddy? ' She surveyed and patted his jaw that looked like a shell-fish pulled from its moor- ings. He is so abused! She glared accusingly at her uncle. Oh, how could you be so cruel! Teddy, we must leave this horrid place! I have had a thorough talk with your father. The cad! Not even to give you a chance at his business! But I have fixed everything. Tomorrow you start at the beginning. Oh, I adore big business men! Why, what has happended? Teddy? At last the actor had found himself. A howl such as had never before re- verberated against these walls escaped. Well, I ' ll be super-saturated! Say Charlie, let ' s book the kid up. You ' ll do nothing of the kind, Uncle Neb! Janice interrupted. Teddy is ing to be a big business man. And miss this break? The actor had come to earth. I should say not! And furthermore, I decide now on my own future. From, now on — A faint, feminine shriek of delight, and then: My, I simply wither with ecstasy when I see wonderful, manly men assert themselves. COMPETION AND HONORS One Hundred Stxty-nme One Hundred Seventy COMPETION AND HONORS THE FLAME-COLORED FIGURINE By Tom Alden Cullen I THE SANCTUM sanctorum of Harlequin was an ancient circus van that still retained much of its aura of tawdry glamour. The gilded cherubs and garlands of gold-braided fruits and flowers that decorated the ceiling in a rococo fashion were now swathed in gossamer cobwebs. The dim green lanterns formed pale bangles of light upon the floor; otherwise the van was thrown into a semi-darkness that spread over the walls like a grey mist. Upon these walls were obscure pictures covered with a thin veneer of dust, graceful opera boufie figures suggested by a few deft lines, sepia reproductions of Frans Hals, interpretations of the clown by Jean Antoine Watteau and John Sloane, and a photograph of Enrico Caruso as Canio in Pagliacci. A charming figurine of Colombine carved from carnation-colored stone stood upon an old mahogany harpsichord in a dim corner. The piquant figure, that seemingly had stepped from a sanguine by Fragonard, added a brilliant splash of scarlet against the liquid blackness . . . The melange of articles on the dressing table formed a black lacquered cutting when reflected in the quicksilver pool of the mirror; there was a candle whose tallow was mixed with lamp-black to form wedge-like eyebrows; a tin of white grease paint used to calcimine the face; a stick of red to carmine the gaping fissure of lips; a white kid skull cap to cover a blonde stubble of hair; and a mask with a torn frill of black lace. The dim light turned the mirror into a dusky pool that reflected whitened faces a ghastly green and carmine lips a lurid magenta. Above the mirror was the symbol of harlequinade, a mandolin festooned in gay ribbons that seemed faded in the darkness. Dominoes in a kaleidescope of colors and ruff collars that were veritible soufiles of golden gauze, sparkling sequins, and tiny bells, hung limply from nails. Everything seemed in readiness for Harlequin. But Harlequin was love sick. The transparent darkness of the room gently enveloped him as he sat at the harpsichord and softly played Tosseli ' s Serenade. As his fingers rippled ever so lightly over the keys, his soul was surging with tumultuous emotion — a glimmering wave swam before his eyes. Gone was every vestige of mirth, leaving his face a mock mask of tragedy. Poor Harlequin! was he too caught helplessly in the tangled web of love? His eyebrows were painful gashes in his dark forehead, and his eyes were sharply etched triangles that glistened feverishly as he thought of his Colom- hine. Before him on the harpsichord he could see the flame-colored figurine of Colombine shimmering through his tears like a vignette that had strayed from the title page of a book. The piquant statuette seemed to pirouette with much flickmg of brittle fingers and fluttering of soft aigret plumes that consumed the body like jets of flame against the velvety darkness. The glowing figure reflected two tiny flames in his eyes and seemed to bore through his mind like a live coal. Eagerly he stretched out his hands to grasp it, but they encountered only the cold stone. The figurine fell to the floor . . . He thought of the night he had serenaded Colombine beneath skies spattered with hot stars that seared. He had sung Tosseli ' s Serenade to the soft accompani- ment of his mandolin and the wind sighing through the classic cypresses like the wood section of a vast symphony orchestra. An ancient silent sea had spread tiny, white waves on the rocks far, far below. That night had seemed the fulfillment of an eternity. Then Colombine had gone away . . . and now Harlequin ' s heart lay broken like the flame-colored figurine. m MUSIC By Dorian Lewis Music is the soul ' s entangled dreams unwound to light, Fusing with beauty the fathomless consciousness Of all mankind. Since Infinity was conceived and While Eternity endures, to all, it has been and is The eternal tongue A throaty organ breaks the velvet silence with a Turbulent song a booming, wild-armed sea Rolls up to flay the cringing sands. Then the honeyed plucking of a harp; and a fragile Willow tree stands swaying in the summer breeze; Or a lone violin sobs and the night wind Croons in a dreaming garden.

Bovyer CHEMISTRY CONTEST ON MAY 24, 1930, the Southern California Section, American Chemical Society held its sixteenth annual contest, in which forty-one schools participated. This contest was in the form of an examination comprising ten questions covering the year ' s work. The fact that the students must prepare by May to answer questions on work for two months in advance, coupled with the facts that it took three hours to answer the ten questions and that one sheet of paper was required to answer each question, gives one an idea of the difficulty of this contest. Members of the Long Beach team, chosen by a series of competitive examinations, were Herbert Ribner, Gerald Isenhower, Robert Mershon, Billy Gamble. John Sherborne, and Jessie Hoenk, alternate. Herbert Ribner made first plao? among all contestants with a score of 84.5. Gerald Isenhower ' s second place score was 71.5. The chemistry contest cup is awarded to the school winning it the greatest num- ber of times over a period of ten years. Long Beach had won the cup four times in seven years, no other school having won it for two years in that period; therefore the award was made to Poly at the Chemical Society ' s June meeting in Los Angeles. DALY SCHOLARSHIP MRS. JOHN E. DALY established the Daly Scholarship in July, 1927 as a memorial to her husband, Mr. John Daly, and her son, Mr. James Daly, both of whom were active members of the Long Beach Bar Association. The Daly Scholarship is awarded each year to a graduate of Polytechnic High School who is enrolled in the School of Law of the University of Southern California. If there is no alumnus of this high school eligible for the award, then some other worthy student in the School of Law may receive consideration. The Daly Scholar- ship is awarded on the basis of scholarship attainments, character, and other qualifications which give promise of success in the legal profession. The scholarship has been held by the following alumni of Polytechnic High School: Leslie Cummins, Edwin Taylor, Arch Tuthill. Jane Julian, Helen Huntley HEALTH ESSAY CONTEST IN ORDER to stimulate interest in the work of the Long Beach Health Association, that organization this year obtained permission from the Board of Education and Superintendent Stephens to sponsor an essay contest in the city schools. Essays of five hundred words were written on methods of preventing tuberculosis. The junior and senior high schools formed the two divisions entering the contest. The first award for each division was ten dollars; the second award was five dollars. A third prize of five dollars was offered regardless of school division. In the upper division, Helen Huntley received first place, and Jane Julian second. Both are Poly girls. Charles Wright of Woodrow Wilson High won the third prize. PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST THIS YEAR Ed Woolcock and Walter Peterson, Caerulea camera editors, sponsored a photography contest, the purpose of which was to furnish pictures for the humor and Poly life sections of Caerulea. Rules of the contest required that pictures entered should portray students or faculty on or about the campus. They were judged for photographic value by Mr. Just, for interest to students by Mr. Tracy, and for their value to Caerulea by Miss Hovious. Estelle Reed received both first and second awards with two pictures of a humorous type. Frank Kimball won third prize with a picture of interest to Polytechnic students. THE GOLD L AWARD GREATER than a scholarship award, an athletic honor, or a membership in Writers ' Club or Masque and Sandal, because it is awarded not only on a basis of these achievements but for many other activities, the Gold L is Poly ' s tiighest tribute to her standard bearers. This year an amendment to the Student Body constitution made possible the addition of jewels to the Gold L. Fifteen points are required for the Gold L. Ten additional points, or twenty-five points in all, warrant the first jewel, and five more, or a total of thirty points, warrant the second jewel.

During the sjiring semester, executives of the staff strove to include in each edition of the papei at least one feature story besides the new depart- mental and vocational interview stories. The latter were instituted in order to arouse interest in the various vocational fields. All editorial work and the cartoons, which depicted school activities, were the enterprises of students, under (he super- vision of John J. Frisch, adviser.

The cover, desip;ned by Hazel Garwood, bore on the front a sketch of the Madonna and Child and on the back the towers of Bethlehem. Having the usual Christmas m otif, the publi- cation contained a variety of stories, poems, reviews, essays, and sketches emphasizing the Yuletide spirit. Various scenes of local color: the ocean, the desert, the mountains, and the school, were depicted. Six plates, three drawn by Hazel Garwood, art editor, and three drawn by Tom Cullen, assistant art editor, added character and atmosphere to the magazine. The articles illu- strated were Christmas Anticipated by Jack Moore, Pantomine by George Sweet, The Star by Tom Alden Cullen, and Pauline by Max Gatov. The ex libris, depicting the star and one of the wise men, was designed by Tom Cullen. In the three years Acacia has been submitted to the annual All-American Magazine Critical Service conducted by the National Scholastic Press Association it has taken high honors. The 1928 edition won fitst-class honor rating in senior high schools with enrollment of sixteen hundred or more. The 1929 issue was awarded All-American honor rating in the same division. In 1930 Acacia again received All-American honor rating. The publication is entirely a product of student efforts, the printing and binding being done in the school print shop by classes of R. R. Lynn and C. R. Freeman, printing advisers. Miss Eleanor Gertrude Pooley and Miss Marie Maples Preston are literary advisers. Members of the club submitting articles to the magazine were Jack Moore, Helen Irene Hogue, Dorian Lewis, John Wells, Chauncey Watt, Eugene Kelly, Walter Peterson, George Sweet, Blanche Lawson, Miriam Cone, Winifred Gould, Beryl Hoban, Zella Margaret Travers, Ed Nofziger, Evelyn Hill, Shirley Sanford, Max Gatov, Hazel Garwood, Gerhard Ehmann, Seymour Janow, Vera Mullins, Beryl Fleming, Lou Huston, Tom Alden Cullen, and Nancy Trever. CAERULEA ANTICIPATING the possibilities of Poly ' s new auditorium, the 1931 Caerulea staff selected as tlie theme of the yearbook the greater realm of student activities made possible by our new auditorium. The general motif of the stage, with the arts and crafts pertaining to it, has been incorporated into every part of the book through the art work, the literary interpretation, and the general organization of departments. Pup- petry was chosen as the art motif. Marionettes in two-color designs are presented on the division pages, as are also the little figures in black and white as end pieces for the departments. Idealized conceptions of the stage introduce each department. To bring the theme and art motif before the student body, the art department presented the Williams ' Marionettes of Hollywood in a skit. Another theme project was the Caerulea assembly, in which living puppets entertained with clever marionette dances. Student-projects sponsored by Caerulea were a literary contest, a snap-shot com- petition, and an outstanding student contest. Previous Caerulea staffs have set a high stand- ard. In 1929 and 1930 the book received pace maker and Ail-American ratings in the Yearbook Contsst and the Critical Service of the National Press Association. These attainments have been a challenge to the staff of 1931. Members of tbn staff whose positions are not indicated beneath the pictures are E. Barrett, honor societies; L.

The cover design repre- senting an abstract type of spotlights, the stage design on the backboards, and the puppets on the division pages were planned and drawn by members of the class. Picture plates were also arranged by this class. Settings for photographs suggestive of drama were prepared by Miss Helen Hoff ' s stage costume designing class. PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB UNDER the guidance of Mr. E. A. Just, members of the Photography Club have helped materially in taking and developing pictures for the yearbook. The Caerulea graflex camera, bought two years ago, is the instrument through which the club has obtained many of the school action pictures.

The winners were announced on March 10 by Al Perrish, business manager of the annual, who was assisted in the management of the contest by Dorothy Richner, Beryl Hoban, Fred Huber, Lillian Buffum, and William Juckett. Tickets for the annual were sold in the various sections by specially appointed representatives following the same method of sale as has had been used in previous years. The commission room was turned into polls where ballots weie cast for the most valuable student in each of the major activities- boyS ' , .«lnIetics, girls ' athletics, academ- ics, f M nsics, music, drama, publications, and R. 0.

( Lawn displays, signs, and posters which dec- orated the campus to boost the campaign were arranged by the advertising club under the direc- pro- grams were also conducted during fifth and sixth periods in the cafeteria as a part of the advertising of the annual. These programs continued for a week and proved exceedingly popular. Norman Franklin, captain of the varsity football team which won Southern California Championship in 1929, and a member of the varsity football team foi three years, tied with John Morrow for first place in boys ' athletics. The latter was a member of the 1929 middleweight football team and the 1930 varsity team. During the spring semester of 1931 he was commissioner of athletics.

During the school semester of 1930-31 Lou was school correspondent for the Press-Teleorani. In academics Eugene Nida, presi- dent of the Scholarship Society and honor student for the school year 1929-30, was awarded the distinction of being the foremost scholar at Poly. Howard Patrick, who was chosen as the school ' s most outstanding speaker, was awarded two gold medals for his ability in forensic? throughout Southern California. He represetited Poly in the National Constitutional contest. Prominent in musical activities, Eugenia Rodgers. soloist in the Christmas concert and a lead in Pirates of Penzance -, won in the music division. Because of their outstanding ability in drama- tis, three persons — Arthur Mounce, Mark K. Shaw, and Marion Caldwell — tied for first place in this division of the contest. Arthur played the leadinj; role in The Valiant , The Knight of Piney Woods , and The Brink of Silence and took part in senior and junior class productions. Mary K. ' s portrayal of the leading feminine role in Take My Advice , and a prominent part in Cyclone brought her the honor. As Jessie Hurley in Cyclone , Marion gained prominence in the dramatic field. She also took part in farce debates and skits. She was one of the main characters in the farce presented by the Caerulea staff in its advertizing assembly. Le Vern Hadley was selected as the most valuable student in R. 0. T. C. In 1930 he was selected as the best non-commissioned officer and in 1931 was a captain. This is the first time since 1926 that a contest of this sort has been conducted and, according to Al Perrish, because of the keen interest and competition it is possible that such a contest may become a permanent institution at Poly.

BOYS ' SPORTS One Hundred Eighty-nine One Hundred Ninety BOYS ' SPORTS M.TAVLOO. COMI ' IOX OFFICIALLY opening the Coast league Season, Poly defeated Compton 14 to 0. Considerably outweighed, Poly ' s forward wall withstood the onslaught of Compton ' s heavier backfield. Bunny defense was such that the Lions were unable to gain possession of the ball within the Poly thirty-yard stripe. Carlton at tackle made Compton ball-carriers very uncomfortable. Offensively Compton had a fair line attack, but was lacking in backfield power. Early in the second quarter, Franklin scored on an end run. In the third he leturned a punt fifty-nine yards to a touchdown. Barton Smith made both conver- sions. The Poly team played splendid ball and made it apparent that they intended !i) defend thfir Coast Lcauu ■ anil Sdulhcrn California championships. FLiLLERTON WITH A more convincing score, but spottier playing than was shown with Compton, Long Beach won her second Coast League game from Fullerton 19 to 0. The Rabbits ' timing of plays, blocking, and interference were not as good as they should have been ; but they were good enough to stop the Redskins. Both teams fumbled often, and offside penalties were frequent. A muff by a Fullerton player in the first period started Long Beach on her way to a score. Morrow fell on the ball, Sweet in two plays carried it across the line, and Smith converted. Storey added six points in the third quarter on a line plunge; and Franklin, not to be outdone, annexed six more in the fourth. Outstanding players were Sweet, Franklin, Storey, Smith, Carlton, and Rainboth. BOYS ' SPORTS One Hundred Ninety-one One Hundred Ninety-ttvo BOYS ' SPORTS PASADEi A THE BULLDOGS and Bunnies stand even again. Long Beach crushed lier traditional rivals 27 to on their home field. In twenty-one years of rivalry each team has won ten games, lost ten, and tied one. This time Poly linesmen played excellently an d paved the way for the backfield. A scoreless quarter was forgotten when Franklin found an opening around the right-end and scored; Smith converted. Before the half ended, Sweet raced sixty-three yards to the second touch- down. Bradley and Franklin made a concerted drive in the third quarter, which resulted in an end run by Franklin, who scored again. Smith unerringly converted. With five minutes to play. Sweet ran a punt back forty-eight yards to the final touchdown. I SANTA A. A POLY WENT into the Santa Ana game with a surity that seemed warranted when Franklin returned a kick-off seventy-nine yards to score on the first play. Jackrabbit confidence waned when Santa Ana repeatedly crashed the Poly forward wall for large gains. The Saints scored on a sixty-seven yard drive with Higashi going over the line. Fumbling in the second period cost Poly s ix points. Immediately Sweet received a kick-off and ran ninety yards to tie the score. The fjong Beach team was like new at the half. Franklin and Sweet made the last twelve points. Santa Ana was a real opponent, but the 24 to 12 score proves that the Bunny can fight when he has his back to the wall as he had when so severely pressed by the Saint five. Santa Ana was very consistent on line crashing. BOYS ' SPORTS One Hundred Ninety-three One Hundred Ninety-four BOYS ' SPORTS ALHAMBRA ONE MINliTE and twenty seconds before the final whistle, the Poly squad tore themselves over the Moor goal line for the winning touchdown. The Riffs had a better interference than the Hares had had to cope with previously, and they had a powerful forward wall. Both of Alhambra ' s touchdowns were made in the third quarter by Nix, who rambled seventy-three yards for the first and thirteen yards around Poly ' s left end for the second. Hs also made the first conversion and was conceded the second, because of a Jackrabbit offside. Storey, Franklin, and Sweet made the touchdowns for Long Beach. The Jackrabbits displayed tremendous line strength when they withstood the pounding of the Moors in their four tries for a touchdown on the Poly one-yard line in the third quarter. A.WATeRMAN COACH O.LANDReTH SAi DIEGO MANY FOOTBALL enthusiasts expressed their fears that the Killers boasted a much stronger team than the Hares and that Poly would be unsuccessful in her attempt to win the Coast League title. But the Hares dissipated such fears when they gave the Hillers a decisive beating. Warburton, San Diego ' s ace, played a neat game but was held in check. Carlton scored first by intercepting a fumble by a San Diego man and racinp eighty-four yards behind perfect interference. Smith placed an additional touchdown to Poly ' s credit on a pass from Morrow. The rest of the score was made on a safety. All conversions were wide. San Diego converted a Jackrabbit fumble into a touch- down and later downed a Poly man behind his goal, giving them a safety also. BOYS ' SPORTS One Hundred Ninety-five One Hundred Ninety-six BOYS ' SPORTS WHITTIER PLAYING a mediocre first half, Poly ' s Jackrabbits let Whittier outfight and outplay them only to come back in the second with everythins; known to football strategy. Barton Smith, Poly end, intercepted a pass on his own four yard line and outran everybody on the field, hurdling those who tried to stop him. On a cutback through center for twenty-four yards, Franklin garne red another six points. Smith converted with one of the best kicks of the season. A fumble by one of Whittier ' s players gave Long Beach a chance to score and Cecil Storey, alwys alert, took advantage. Barton Smith made a beautiful conversion. Storey, Smith, Franklin, and the entire team played a brand of football which proved they were ivorthy of the title of Southern California high school finalists. REDONDO— CHAMPIONSHIP GAME NO ONE who saw the Seahawk-Jackrabbit contest can say that he did not see everything that goes to make up a football team. Power, drive, defense, offense — all were there, and the Bunny fairly ran the Seahawks ragged. During the first period neither team made any great headway. The second quarter saw Walt Schell drop-kick a beautiful field goal for three points. After Schell ' s three points had been made, Piedondo never threatened again. Storey and Sweet made the touchdowns for Poly; and Barton Smith the conversion. Franklin made some beautiful runs. Every member of the Poly team played a championship game, and it is through their tremendous efforts and good sportsmanship that they have become, for the second consecutive time, the Southern California champions. BOYS ' SPORTS One Hundred Ninety-seven M ' One Hundred Ninety-eight BOYS ' SPORTS CLASS A FOOTBALL ' ISFORTUNE has apparently been dog- 2;ing the footsteps of the Junior Varsity. Though they were a powerful team, and had excellent plays and real spirit, something was lacking which they needed to make them a foremost team. They played good games and refused to say they were beaten, although they were faced with overwhelming odds and scores. Just as many complimentary things may be said about a team that was victorious in defeat as one that was a champion. One that can keep play- ing against odds stacked against him is surely a champion even though the scores belie the fact. Edward Callahan, Howard Estabrook, Dick Hill, Bob Johnson, Art Le Va, and Kenny Ray played four quarters in each game. Lomita downed the Junior Varsity 45 to 6 in the first tilt and again in a return game 19 to 14. The game with Banning was a real fight for supremacy from the start imtil the last second of the fourth quarter. Long Beach tried tremendously and the Banning boys did thsir best; as a result, the contest ended in a tie 13 to 13. Hunting- ton Beach swept the Green and Gold defenders back to take twenty-seven points home. An 18 to 13 score was diopped by the Bunnies in favor of Torrance. The coach this year was Kinnear, a newcomer, who will probably coach the A ' s during the coming season. Next year will see a better Class A team, as many of the old lettermen will return.

Holding their line in defense and making reniarkahle recoveries in the face of defeat against nuuh stronger team - characterized the middies. In the fast Compton game they made super-human efforts to stop the powerful team against which they were pitted; and, although the Poly men did not get a chance to score, they held their opponents 12 to 0. The Alhambra game was the second long struggle in which the middleweights were given a chance but were unable to hold up. allowing Alhambra two touchdowns. In the Pasadena game, though they did not succeed in scoiing, they held Poly ' s old rivals to a zero quantity. Hollywood, Manual Arts, Fullerlon. Pasadena, and Santa Ana all went to defeat. Each game was a monument to the fighting spirit of the team and its Captain Hiland made gains consistently by his line plunges. Campbell proved a stone wall on the line as defense and a hole opener for offense. Stephens was exceptional in interception of passes and in speed. Brown made large gains by end runs. A few of the other players whose work deserves mentioning are King, Phoe- nix, Skarda, Balzinger, Barton, Dyer, Fessenden, and English. The season ' s scores are as follows: Hollywood 6 — L.

BOYS ' SPORTS One Hundred Ntnety-nine Two Hundred BOYS ' SPORTS CLASS C FOOTBALL I ' T SEEMS that football history has been repeating itself. The heavy Jackrabbit team has had nothing on the lighter Bunny eleven. This scrappy group of midgets came through their football season, winning the title of Coast League champs. For three consecutive years these diminutive chaps have clung to their coast supremacy. Their marked success has been due to fine teamwork and splendid coach- ing. Not one rival crossed the lightweights ' twenty-five yard line in 1929; while the 1930 squad allowed only two league opponents to rross their goal line and were slightly stronger 11 offense. Coach Charles Brown has fallen into the habit of producing championship teams, ctiid it is not unlikely that next year will find him wth the same sort of material again. In their opening tiff the Bunnies drubbed Lomita 27 to t), but San Pedro in a practice tilt turned the tables with a 14 to score. Fiillerton, Glendale, and Excelsior were swept aside with tallies of 25 to 0, 27 to 2, and 64 to re spectively. The Santa Ana team, whose game ended in a 6 to 6 tie, proved to be the C ' s toughest opponent. The Bunnies experienced an off day, failing to get started until the last quarter. The playoff for the coast title was with Alham- bra and was closely contested, but the Wee Jacks were the better team and triumphed 7 to 6.

Coach Brow i whipped his team into shape by a series c practice games, which gave the team memheis experience.

The Tartars could hardly pierce the local guard. The Jackrabbits held a 15-3 score at the end of the first quarter of the Fullerton-Poly game. Reserves added six more points, and the final score was 40-17 in Poly ' s favor. In the Saint-Poly game Purdy led the Poly players in scoring, and this 37-21 victory heralded Long Beach ' s ninth triumph over Santa Ana in eight seasons. Early in the Pasadena game Poly took the initiative. Johnny Clark scored ' first and last in this game, which ended at 29-24 in Poly ' s favor. VARSITY BASKETBALL Ending the first half of the San Diego game, the Hares were barely trailing Church ' s fast-stepping lads. But in the second period the Rabbits played San Diego ofT her feet. Melvin Kennedy and Kenneth Purdy piled up the points for Poly in the last two quarters to win the game 29-22. Kennedy, Howard, and Clark ran riot in the Alhambra game, which Poly won 39-24. Alhambra was leading in the second quarter 14-9 when Kennedy was inserted and started a series of scoring. Hopes of a Coast League championship went glimmering when the Long Beach five met Wilson ' s Bruins and were defeated 28-16.

Most of his material was secured from last year ' s C team, which was under the guidance of Coach Landreth. King, Gauhan, Brown, Hess, Dawes, and Caplinger, all played on the lightweight team which was champion of the Coast League last season. These five players, together with Robinson, Aspey, Uptegraff, and Fessenden, formed a strong combination for the ' 30 team. Middleweight basketeers of this year had somewhat of a record toward which to striv.3. Last year they were accorded second place honors in the Coast League circuit and again this year. During all the season this year the Middies were beaten only once, and that time by a very close score. The Compton Tartars, better known as Mid-City boys, took the Beachers over in the opening game of the season 21-23. After this one defeat the boys tightened up, and no team got around them again. Fullerton proved an easy mark for the sharpshooting Bunnies and fairly handed the Beach boys a 42-20 victory. Probably the closest and most thrilling game of the year was the one with the Pasadena Bulldogs, who tried to send the Polyites home on the short end of the score and nearly succeeded; but the final results were Pasadena 28, Long Beach 29. Another closely-fought battle was the occasion of the Saint-Poly game. Poly finally came out on top with a 30-28 score.

The Bunnies opened the season in impressive fashion, triumphing over the Saii Pedro babes 20 to 9. In the next practice clash, Whittier was treated to a 29 to 13 trouncing. Inglewood fell 25 to 5, and Huntington Paik was defeated 23 to 14, to give the Rabhils foui pre-season victories under their belts. The Hares journeyed to Compton for the initial league game, bagging a 30 to 9 win. Fullerton was the next victim, losing 22 to 6. As a bye was the program for the following week, a practice game with Redondo was scheduled, giving Long Beach their seventh victory, 27-6. Pasadena was handed a 42 to 10 trimming; and, after being behind at the third quarter, the Jackrabbits managed to nose out Santa Ana 31 to 24.

BOYS ' SPORTS Two Hundred Five Two Hundred Six BOYS ' SPORTS CROSS COUNTRY THE JACKRABBIT cross-country men made a clean sweep of all their 1930 meets, with the exception of the Southern California championship titular encounter. This marked the fourth consecutive time that the Rabbits have brought home the Coast League title, but unfortunately, just as it was becoming a habit to win, the Coach Barker cross-country runners failed to take the South- land title; however, the team was composed of new men who didn ' t have a great deal of ex- perience at their command. Four lettermen of last year helped to bring the honors of the season home to Long Beach. Fred Rathbun, Coach Norman Barker ' s standby in track per- formances, was the high-point man of the group. Hayes and Wilson were also returning lettermen. In a 1931 pre-season meet held at Recreation Park with Glendale and Pasadena High Schools, Fred Rathbun walked off with all first-place honors. Another triple meet was held at Los Angeles with Los Angeles High, Beverly Hills High, Los Angeles Poly High, and Long Beach Poly High School participating. The Hares, true to their namesake, hopped away with the meet. This year ' s team members were Fred Rathbun, Idris Owen, Stanley Bauchop, Al Zambrano, Frank Kimball, Morgan Hayes, and Garrison Wilson. Coach Barker had several good prospects for the coming season in Fred Rathbun, Idris Owen, and others on this year ' s team. With their experience they hoped to cop the Coast League title again and regain the Southern California championship title. VARSITY TRACK POLY ' S track coach.

Poly 58-55, Jefferson 73-40, Manual Arts 59-54, Glendale 85-28, Santa Ana 74-39, Alhambra 89 2 3-23 1 3, Pasadena 721 0-401 .. This year the following men were the most consistent winners on the track: Joseph Graham and Donald Calvin in the sprints; Fred Rathbun in the half mile and 220 low hurdles; Morgan Hayes in the mile; and Eugene Culp in the high hurdles. On the field the star performers were Captain Dave Grow, Harry Algers, and Tom White in the pole vault; Eugene Culp and Bill Middleton in the broad jump; Emmett Moane and Thomas Collier in the high jump; Lou Scharlin in the shot put; and Frank Parks in the discus. Excellent chances for the Southern California and California meets were credited to these trackmen by track critics. D.GROW CAST. Back row— E. Alger, F. Hart. E. Callahan, B. Smith, G. Wilson, G.

The 1930 team won both the dual meet championship and tlie Coast League championship. Last year ' s scores were Glendale High 62-41, Santa Ana !2-22, Alhambra 75-28. Pasadena, the final competitor, lost to Long Beach 68-36. Poly at the present time holds four Class B Coast League records. Eugene Culp, now a varsity cinder ace, made all but one; they were in the discus, broad-jump, and high hurdles. George Fawcett holds the other one in the high- jump. Ishizuka was the record man for the B ' s this year. He was outstanding in the century, shot-put, and discus, besides being a mainstay on the relay team. Skarda and Gillespie turned in some excellent times in the high and low hurdles and 220 yard dash respectively. Rabbit Middies were very strong in field events this year. Browning, Skarda, and Bartlett were consistent at 20 feet in the broad-jump. Oliver, Ishizuka, and Hicks were all consistent winners in the weight events. Even in their first meet the Middleweights showed that they meant business. They easily took Compton High over with the smothering score of 82-22. Coach Norman Barker confined himself more to arsity track problems this year and let the Middies work as an independent unit. His new system seems to have had good effect. Back row — G. Smith. R.

C TRACK Bl ' NNIE lightweight tracksters nearly won the loop championship this year, losing to Glendale by a very small margin. They opened the season in impressive fashion with a league win over the Compton Tartars 67 to 10. The C s next journeyed to Hollywood for a practice clash with the strong Stars, who van- quished the locals 44 to 3.3. In the next meet the rabbits met Fullerton and swamped them 56 to 21. A practice meet with the Narbonne middleweights netted the Marine Leaguers a victory. This was hardly a fair test for the Bunnies, as the Lomita boys far outweighed them. This was Coach Brown ' s first year at hand- ling track, as he had previously coached Junior Varsity baseball. Captain Redfield, Wheelock, Nakazawa, Sunderland, Chase, and Deskin were the most consistent performers and will serve as valuable additions to the Middies next year. Other main-stays were Ellis, Futris, Jarvis, Shaffner, Carville, Goldberg. Chillius. and Kramer, who gave good exhibitions of track skill. Steve Packard, now a B man, last year set a record in the Coast League meet in the high jump with a leap of five feet three inches. Landers of Long Beach set a record of 10.2 in the hundred yard dash in the 1927 Coast encounters. Coach Brown will have the nucleus of a fine C team next year: he expects six lettermen to return. This year ' s team were real workers and did some exceptional track work, as the records show. Back row — D. Shoefner, B. Ellis, D. Kramer. Mgr. R. Dooley. M. 1 akahashi, J. I ' hiliipson, M.

The results of the last season ' s games follow. San Pedro was a walk-away 11 to 1 victory, and Inglewood turned around and did practically the same to Long Beach with a 10-2 score. Other scores were Huntington Beach 7-1, Huntington Park 12-2. Fullerton 19-0, Redondo 7-2, Huntington Beach 12-6, Redondo 10-3, South Pasadena 4-3, and another victory over Fullerton 3-2. Playing a revised schedule this season. Coach Landreth ' s varsity baseball squad opened the League schedule six weeks earlier than usual by defeating the Compton Tarters 7-5, on the Mid-City diamond. In a slug fest. Poly de- feated Fullerton 12-8. In practice tilts the Jackrabbits downed San Pedro 10-0, and Huntington Park 6-3, after losing the latter 4-2. in the opening game. Long Beach met Pasadena, Santa Ana, Alhambra, and San Diego, 1930 champions, during the League schedule. Around Captain E. McCormick, shortstop, and B. Taylor, pitcher. Coach Landreth built up his 1931 aggregation. E. Yocky, ' 30 reserve, held down first with D. Dawes at second and J. Morrow at third. D. Hodges, veteran, did the catching for the Hares. J.

Dias JUNIOR VARSITY BASEBALL BECAUSE of the lack of trainiiip: quarters occasioned hv the turfinc; of Burchani field, the Junior Varsity baseball team was disbanded after participating in only two games. The abandonment of the team will not be permanent, as the team will resume activity again next spring. Coach Lyle Kinnear in- structed the squad during its short season, in which it won one game and lost the other. In the first game the Junior Varsities were defeated by Banning High, of Wilmington, bv the close score of 5 to 4, after the Banning nine had made a four-run rally in the sixth inning. In their second and last encounter they won an easy ball game from the Fullerton Junior Varsity team by a 14 to 9 score. Although the J. Vs. were given few chances to display their ability, several outstanding prospects were noted. Among those players who will probably be on the Varsity squad next season are the following: Captain Bobby Lee, who held down the second base position; Woods and Johnson, who divided the catching duties; Lloyd Fink, pitcher; Smith. Wilcox, Ripperdan, and Hoffman, who held down regular infield positions; and Pallas, Thompson, Rooney, Watson, and Gilroy, the first-string out- fielders. Last year ' s scores ware Lomita 11-14, return game with Lomita 20-4, Huntington Beach 22-2 and 25-0, Banning High 18-3 and 6-4. Lomita was the only team to trip the boys. The 1932 season should be an excellent one, considering the wealth of returning material. Back row — F. Schmitz, D. McMillen, W. VaUey; Second row— H. Mullin, G. Zehring, S. Duprey, R. Townsend, A.

Polv ' s 1931 polo team set a fast Dace for itself. In the next game with El Segundo, they again won, 6-8. The Polyites displayed a real brand of water polo in this game. Fullerton proved this year, as last, a stumbling block. Poly lost the game with them 6-8 after putting up a real fight. Los Angeles fell to the green and gold with a 4-5 defeat. The Los Angeles team offered a good soap, hut the Poly boys proved to be the best men. The next game was a return game from Hollywood, which Long Be.ich won with a 2-3 score. In the return game with El Segundo, Poly swamped the visi- tors with a 3-9 score. Next came Fullerton. Having been beaten once by them, the Bunnies were resolved to do or die, but they could not gel started and were unable to stop Fullerton ' s attack or to start one of their own; and goals whizzed past their heads. The final score was 4-2. In the last game of the season the Poly team came back and won from Los Angeles with a 1-5 score. Throughout the year J. C. Paul, captain, played a good hard game; Bob Foster was high point man ; Ed Knox as goal guard proved himself an exceptional defender. Others who played well throughout the season were Sutherland. Warner, French, Fiske, Till, Herron, and Holliday; but space does not allow special mention of each man. J.PAUL CAPT. B.PATRICK M R. Back row — W. Jones, E. Schuber, B. Williamson, F. Clare, F.

Captain Foster proved to be the strong man of the team. The relav, comprising Rosenberg, Skarda, Foster, and Smith, set a new Southern California record. Eldon Jones won Southern California champion- ship in diving. Bjorkstrom and McLeod also came through for points. The 1931 polo squad went through the sea- son to win Southern California from Venice with a 2-3 score. In the first of the league Next the Fullerton team was tossed with a 0-5 score. Since Los Angeles had no lightweights, Poly took on their second string for a little practice and beat them 3-4. El Segundo was again downed, this time with a score of 0-9. In the return battle with Fullerton, the Bunnies won 1-4. Playing the Los Angeles second string again, they lost 5-4, after a scrappy game. This score did not count against Poly, as the tilt was only for practice. Captain Dixon, Gocke, Lemon, and McLeod played a fighting game of polo.

Some of the wrestlers had had experience before and it was interesting to observe the methods of the fellows who had no great amount of training when they were pitted asainst those who had. All bonis were hard fought and were not dropped without struggle?. Because so few schools are going to have wrest- ling on their sports curriculum, the regular coast season has been done away with and the event struck from the list. Seven weight divisions were represented: winners of the finals received letters. Entries and winners were as follows: 110 pounds — Frasier, Imai, and Hilts, who lost to Frasier b a fall in 17 seconds; 120 pounds — Claire, Nari- tuka, Bedford, Sadler, Lambrose, Penturf, and Rasmussen, with Claire winning over Narituka in 1:12: i ' M) pounds — Booth, Aikens, Gibbs, and Drum, Aikens losing to Booth by a fall in 2:35; 140 pounds — Wilson, Traxton, Arnold, Wheaton, Clemmons. and Sweet,, who took the bout from Wilson by a fall in 2:05; 150 pounds — Zambrano, ' if l.

The three returning lettermen. Cap- tain Jack Walton, Carl Wood, and Dale Wur- man formed the nucleus of a squad of twelve. Unexpectedly winning all the matches with the exception of a practice tilt, the racket wielders appeared to be head ed towards their first tennis championship. Anaheim, Compton, Fullerton, Huntington Park, and Huntington Beach all lost to the Rabbit players. Poly broke even with San Pedro, 1930 Bay League champs. Harvard, with a great number of stars, in- cluding Johnny Booge, ninth ranking junior player in California, came to Poly anticipating a walk-away victory. Final scoring was 6-6. This was the greatest meet of the year for Poly tennis men. Captain Walton, Wood, Shellshear, and Kawai sparkled in the singles; and Wurman and Reynard in first doubles, and Tichenor and Oliver in second doubles showed splendid promise. During the season it was announced that Walton, Wood, Wurman. Shellshear, Kawai, and Re}Tiard would compete in the California championships sometime in May. In doing this they were the only Long Beach representatives in these cham- pionship meets. Results of the tilt will be announced in the next Caerulea. Coach Albert Comfort cannot be too highly praised for the excellent manner in which he has guided his team this season.

Last year ' s matches, compared with those of this year, show a slight advantage. Poly High has been fortunate in having the state junior golf champions on its team for the past two seasons: Ernie Combs last year and Curtis Williams llil- year. Of the five practice matches played, Poly won two and lost three. Last year the first till with Catalina at the Island country club ended with a 4 to 1 score in the Islanders ' favor. Poly won ' IV2 to Vo at the Virginia Country Club this season. Last year ' s game against Huntington Beach was a 4 to 4 tie, but this year Poly beat the Oilers by a 3 to 1 win on the Virginia Club greens. Glendale won over the Hares 3 lo 2; this year Poly turned the tables by winning with a score of 4 to 1. In league matches the local boys were defeated by Pasadena 3I 2 to 1V-; and the Alhambra team 5 to 1. Personnel of the team this year was as follows: Curtis Williams, Jimmie Dodds (captain).

Under the association are various affiliated clubs whose members automatically belong to the head organization. Meetings are held monthly at which both business and programs are presented. During the fall semester a competitive ' playday was held at Alhambra. Hi-Jinks, the next big event on the G. A. A. calender, took place in January. With Lillian Callahan presiding as carnival queen, the afiair was staged in true festive style with gay decorations and bright costumes. Skits were presented by the different clubs and a special stunt was provided by the faculty. Tn the spring the annual G. A. A. treasure hunt was held with a picnic afterwards at Recreation Park. A playday was also arranged with Woodrow Wilson. Of special help to association members was the new G. A. A. handbook containing the constitu- tion and club requirements. Officers for the year were presidents — Lillian Callahan, Mary Lindsay; first vice-presidents — Lillian BufFum, Alice Marie Garrison; second vice-presidents — Ledene Andrews, June McClelland; secretaries— Winifred Sanders, Edith Ballou. The adviser for this year was Miss Elva Gates. GIRLS ' SPORTS O Hundred Twenty-three Tiuo Hundred Twenty-four GIRLS ' SPORTS SPEEDBALL THIS YEAR ' S speedball season differed considerably from that of last year. First, several rules similar to those of basketball were introduced and thus served to make the game faster and more lively; secondly, more stress was laid on aerial work and overhead passing. Indeed, according to Miss Fanny Peters, faculty adviser in charge of speedball, the chief factor in scoring this season was effective forward passing. In the preliminary games, after a vigorously contested clash, the juniors established their superiority over the sophomores by an 18-5 score. The final game for the championship was full of excitement for the spectators as well as the players. With first one team and then the other gaining a goal, the scoring occurred with R. RQ6e- n. pe a-GT lefe SPEEDBALL almost mechanical precision. So close was the play that the decision could not be predicted till the final whistle blew. It was then discovered that the juniors had the victory by one point, a 12-11 score. Following the usual precedent, a spread in the form of a beach supper was given by the championship team to both teams they had defeated. The Wilson All-Star team sent an informal challenge to the Poly AU-Star team, which was accepted. The game served as a fitting close for the speedball season. Girls honored with membership on the Poly AU-Star team were Alice Marie Garri- son, Ruth Rose, Amy Elm, Augusta Colston, Mary Lindsay, Muriel Dashwood, Marjorie Pelletier, Helen Walker, Helen Forcade, and Edith Ballou.

Because of wet weather and the Christmas holidays, the season was late in starting. At after-school practices instruction in dribbling, passing, and sending and receiv- ing balls was given. The rules of the game were thoroughly explained, and the players were drilled in the necessary fundamentals for skill. At the beginning of the spring semester the championship games were played off. In the preliminary games the junior team defeated the sophomore team with a 3-2 score. The sophomores were overcome by the seniors with a score of 5-0. In the final game between seniors and juniors, excitement ran high as the whistle blew on a 2-2 tie. Addition of the scores awa rded the championship to the seniors. Miss M.MARKHAM f L.MANieV HOCKEY Violet Lacy and Miss Fannie Peters jointly undertook the coaching of the several teams. The season was concluded by a spread held at the Y. W. C. A. at which the members of the junior team were hostesses. Players receiving the honorary all-star award were Alice Marie Garrison, Hazel Baker, Irene Flinton, and Ruth Bovyer. The all-star team yearly comprises girls from each team who have been adjudged the best sports and most skilful players. To receive this award a girl not only must have demonstrated her ability to play the game well but she must also have proved her good sportsmanship. She must have maintained a passing record in her studies and must have been outstanding in qualities of leadership and service.

MNFORO BASEBALL SIX WEEKS of diligent training served to prepare the girls ' baseball teams for interclass competition last year. In the preliminary games for the champion- ship, the juniors beat the sophomores with a 9-8 score. Oddly enough, the seniors, in turn, beat the sophomores by the same scote. In the last game between the juniors and seniors, the juniors were victorious with a score of 8-5. These close scores gave evidence of the close competition throughout the games. The season came to a close with the spread given by the victorious team at the Y. W. C. A. Miss Lou Woodcock coached the junior team. This year ' s season, although late in starting, got well under way. The results of the games will be announced in the 1932 Caerulea.

To earn an L, girls must prove their versatility in various sports. Of the five hundred points necessary for a minor L, at least two hundred points must be earned in a field sport, not less than fifty in tennis or swimming, and twenty-five in service. The same distribution holds true for a major L, awarded for one thousand points. Each additional hundred points above the five hundred entitles the winner to a chevron; and each additional hundred points above a major L is indicated by a star. Various social events were enjoyed this year. In June the L Club banquet was held. Winners of letters in debate and gold service L ' s were also invited to this banquet. Service and athletic awards were presented on this occasion. Miss Ethel Babcock advised: officers of the club were presidents — Helen Mark- ham, Muriel Dashwood; vice-presidents — Pauline Griffin, Lillian Buffum; secretary- treasurers — Marjorie Pelletier, Helen Walker.
