No longer is it necessary as a weapon of defense; for ages it has been a cherished symbol of equipment for life. Emblazoned on our high school shield are certain figures and emblems which are constantly to remind us not only of the privileges but also of the obligations of the school whose name we proudly bear. That name appears as the foundation for the legend of the shield. To the left and right are the fasces which have come down to us from Roman Antiquity. In olden times they were a bundle of rods having amongst them an ax with the blade protruding, and were borne before a Roman magistrate as a badge of authority. To us, the one on the left represents the Assem- bly. The Senate is on the right as it is the stronger of our two organizations. The rods represent the students, who are bound together by the constitution into a perfect union in which each adds to the strength of the whole and at the same time derives protection. The ax in the midst is the authority which we delegate to our organizations and to which each one should gladly render obedience. In the upper part of the shield appear the three emblems which typify the three-fold nature of our education. The winged-foot, ancient emblem of speed, represents physical education, including athletics. We are taught to respect and care for our physical beings, to strive in physical contests, to remember that good sportsmanship comes above vic- tory, and that we must ever preserve the good name of our school in athletics. The lamp signifies education—mechanical, commercial, cultural, professional —by which we may equip ourselves for our life works and interests. By the aid of its light we become proficient in our vocations and avocations. The liberty cap represents citizenship. It stands for liberty, equality and jus- tice.. By it, we are reminded of the colors of our flag and the duties we owe to the state. We are taught to obey in order that we may govern. This emblem occupies the center space at the top, which is to signify that it crowns all and binds all together in the perfect union. In the center of the shield is an open book which teaches that education is free for the taking. As its pages are turned, new worlds will be revealed to all of us who care to explore. The rising sun is typical of youth. It also represents the light which education sheds on life. The black bands represent ignorance and superstition which grow fainter and disappear as we approach the light. Taken together, these historic symbols represent for our school the accomp- lishments of the past, the ideals of the present, and the hopes of the future. “Education is the key which unlocks the storehouse of wisdom.”’ | Z Pu 2she Kickhe We Art Up ha owt ¢ i. 2 . bey ANY) IE | ams ¥ oy oe é ne Tea - a een Mere hey WLG Osr0% i Vi Jose pheno ki dodk | Phi ye mete y, Thar y Roy ie @ o Chibi lin thiraerr La pale .

The class has produced many foremost athletes, dramatists, leaders, musicians, and Honor Society students. Perhaps the greatest activity for which the class will be remembered was the introduction of class sweaters, cleverly designed by a group of the students in their low senior year. Future classes will undoubtedly adopt the idea. The class of December ’33 held a successful dinner-dance after the Hayward football game. Alyce Burkett was in charge of the dinner and approximately 75 students attended. The seniors are also to be commended for their splendid support of the Semi- Annual. The class backed the sales, and, for the first time in a year, the number of books sold exceeded the quota set. An excellent Senior Day program was prepared under the direction of Doris Miller and Miss McLaurin. All the seniors came to school garbed in curious attire. Dorothy Rumsey and Linwood Frates were selected as having the most original costumes of the group. The festivities of the day culminated in a dinner and dance held in the cafeteria that evening. COMMISSIONERS THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS, consisting of the Student Body president and nine commissioners, is the elected group which manages the finances of the Student Body of the Richmond Union High School, and all the activities of the Student ciation. It is the governing body of the school. Asso- One of the most interesting events prepared by the commissioners this fall was the high school participation in the Richmond NRA parade. They supervised and helped make our part in the parade a success. Another accomplishment of the Board was the introduction of Student Body programs, which have been given each month for student body members only. This is something which has never before been attempted in Richmond High. Mention of the football season must also be made in connection with the Board of Commissioners, for it was with their help that the season was successful. Numerous other things were done in the daily routine of the commissioners, and each of the ten officers has done much to con- tribute to the success of the term. The fall officers were: Student Body president, Edward Faust ; vice-president, Donald Bignall; secretary-treasurer, Ruth Robinson ; commissioner of social affairs, Linda Roberto ; commissioner of girls’ athletics, Anne Erich; commissioner of boys’ athletics, Jack Haase; commissioner of law and order, Joseph McGill; student tudge, Robert Drexel; attorney for the defense, Clarence Garibotti; auditor, Rose Bartolo.

GIRLS LEAGUE THE GIRLS’ LEAGUE, composed of all the girls in high school, under the leadership of Miss Kinnear, was organized many years ago for the purpose of serving the school and the community. The officers this term were Marjorie Shurtleff, president; Alice Olson, vice- president, and Fay Hallstrom, secretary. The first League meeting was held September 13 to discuss the wearing of uniforms. A ballot was taken on the question, but the results were so close, it was necessary to have a recount. Before the business meeting two accordion solos were played by Theresa Ghisio. In the election held in the Cafeteria 6th and 7th periods on October 4, the ma- jority voted for uniforms with. white collars and cuffs, and blue or black skirts, plain or pleated. Many girls suggested that the middies have short sleeves. The last meeting of the term was held on November 8, with Mrs. Tsar N. Calfee, wife of a local attorney, as the speaker. She spoke on the. world changes that have affected the home, the result of which have been more leisure time which eirls of today should use wisely. GIRL RESERVES THE GIRL RESERVES is an organization connected with the national Y. W. C. A. in New York. The Richmond club, however, is independent of larger branches in the East Bay. The general aim is to provide a club for girls to develop their special interests ; therefore the club program changes rapidly. Craft meetings in which speakers talked to the girls on various subjects have been enjoyed. One of the outstanding speakers, Miss Dorothy Cox, spoke on her experiences in Europe. Discussion meetings, too, in which manners, the code, and historical spots, trees, flowers, and points of interest in California have been discussed. The members also have taken part in many games and wienie roasts. The main purpose of the Girl Reserves is to face life squarely and to find and give the best. A recognition service is given every term in which all girls who are interested in joining may attend. After she is recognized, she becomes an active member and may participate in all activities. The officers of this semester’s cabinet are Helen Hinshaw, president; Peggy Horner, vice-president; Jean Williams, secretary; Helen Coppinger, treasurer ; Dorothy Heinemann, program chairman; Sybil Moore, social chairman; and Marie Markus, service chairman. Eacu periop during the day there is a girl in the library assisting Miss Zelma Reeye, librarian. The girls check the attendance lists, issue books that students wish to use, and help people secure material. The library girls for the semester have been Tressa Dell Axtell, Yuriko Sugi- hara, Marjorie Spaulding, Catherine Bastin, Ruth Eichar, Fay Hallstrom, Anna Mae Williams, Linda Roberto, Marion Gordon, and Mary Romero. ———— Physiology Club. iw) Senior Officers.

DRAMATICS IN PLACE of the regular three-act play, which is usually given as the semi-annual program, two one-act plays and a Spanish dance number were presented this year. A total of 40 students participated in the “Gala Night” program. This is a much larger cast than has ever presented a three-act play; thus the dramatics teachers have had a good chance to find material for future dramatic acts, as most of the participants were lower classmen. The two plays given were “The Kelly Kid” and “Thursday Evening.” Those participating in them were Charles Rosenthal, Phyllis Parr, Mary Romero, Eleanor Lyons, Margaret Keenan, Phillip Goettel, James Brien, Alberta Hill, Alden Pratt, Flsine Beck, and La Roma Zundel. Those participating in the “Spanish Fiesta” were Theresa Ghisio, Joe Michelis, Mary Jean Lowell, Mary Bleuel, Fay Marcyes, Hleen White, Rose Bartolo, Mary Roveda, Norma Case, Frances Wilson, Dorothy Viglione, Muriel Dugan, Phyllis Tandy, Annie Ausez, Annie Muren, Bill Lane, Elwood Frisvold, Charles Reynolds, Lloyd Pearson, Norman Robinson, Stanley Mayer, George Covell, Candida Zanzi, Alice Morris, Ruth Van Marter, Melville Garoutte, General Pearson, Donald Crane, and Arthur Bergman. The plays were under the direction of Mrs. Nellie Pehrson, and the dancing number was directed | by Miss Grace Timmons. Approximately $ $200 was taken in at the performance from the 800 people that attended. Mr. David Gray had charge of the ticket sales and ushers. This was the only program given by the school as a whole during the semester. Several plays were presented by organizations, but were not public. Glee Club. N.R.A. Fioat. Commencement Speakers.

Pe OLOGY CLUB THE PHYSIOLOGY CLUB, which was organized August 30, 1928, was founded to increase knowledge of the health through the study of individual and community health problems. A series of lectures on various phases of Infant Care, which was the subject of the study this term, were given by Mrs. Aileen Bronsdon, Miss Helen Parker of the faculty, and Dr. Rosa Powell, local physician. In October, the girls visited the Out-Patient Department of the University of California Hospital in San Francisco. The social function of the semester was a tea in November. The members of the Physiology Club are: Lucy Piasente, Leila McLennan, LaVerne Kingsley, Alice McCrez agh, Thelma Fracisco, Doris Stephens, Rose Bar- ick, Eleanor Tackley, Lois Sargent, Dorothy Ciapponi,.Anna May Connors, Mae Ostrander, Harriet Pedrotti, Anna Bellegarde, Lois Berry, and Virginia Hull. HOSPITAL GIRLS A VALUABLE ASSET to any school—this definition easily describes our group ot Hospital Girls. Hospital Girls have full charge of the hospital room, study room, and ofhce. It is their duty to see that any girl coming into the hospital room has the proper treatment, and also to see that order is maintained in the study room. In order to do this properly, a girl must be reliable, responsible, and a good manager. | this term were Susan Crane, Juanita Harringay, Dorothy Bergen, Eleanor Brensel, Helen McBurney, Frances eoniet, Agnes Davis, Ruth Barrett, Phyllis Tandy, Winifred Renfree, Phyllis Parr, Margaret Conn, Helen Oehne, Rose Bartolo, Muriel Dugan, Helen Vaslie, ee Tet esa Bernardi. The girls who were chosen to do this work for J OURNALISM . THE TASK this term of publishing the Hi-Nus was left up to seven boys and eight girls who formed the journalism class. Under the direction of the adviser, Miss Norine Buchanan, and the editor, David Newsom, sixteen issues of the Hi-Nus and the supplement were published. The latter, although partly financed by the senior class, was brought out by the journalism class in the place of a year book. This was the first time in a year that supplement sales reached their quota. Kenneth Hitch, as business manager, gathered the ads for the paper and acted as make-up editor of the supplement. Kenneth also wrote the Interviewer column every week and contributed many editorials and news items. Herbert Palmberg worked as circulation manager, and Catherine Healy han- dled the exchanges. August Armanasco was responsible for the neat make-up of the Hi-Nus each week. Alyce Burkett, James Havey, Amy Schwarz, Margaret Jenkins, Frances Fowler, Ruth Robinson, and Coral Mohondro were energetic reporters and contributed many news items and stories. Frances also edited the Alumni column, and Ruth, the School Notes department. Lloyd Pearson, in the capacity of Boys’ Sports Editor, filled up his page with the latest sport dope each week. Stanley Meyer contributed the humor for the paper this semester. While the journalism staff did the writing and editing of the paper, the print- ing was done in the school print shop under the direction of Mr. John Doney. Mr. Doney was aided by Pino Banducci, and Lloyd Mason, two post-graduates, who returned in order to aid the Hi-Nus staff. The advertisements were set up by William Schultz and Robert Souza. They were assisted by Harold Smersfelt and Hugo Anderson. The make-up was under the direction of Lloyd Mason, Pino Banducci, Burton Dutro, and Jack Haase. There were but few typographical errors this semester as a result of the excellent work of Lloyd Mason, Pino Banducci, Theresa Slavazza, Jack Haase, Burton Dutro, Leonard Thorne, and Hugo Anderson, who worked on the two linotypes. perio “Hie aS LUe A SKATING party, a dance, several basketball games, and many interesting Monday evening meetings were included in the term for the Boys’ Hi-Y club. Thirty-three boys were on the roll books of the organization. This was the largest membership yet attained by the club. Two initiations were held by the group this term. Three members were received the first time and twelve the second. The officers of the organization were as follows: Clarence Garibotti, presi- dent; vice-president, Cappy Kramer; secretary, Alden Pratt; treasurer, Wallace Willis; social chairman, Paul Armstrong; athletic manager, Paul Moitoza. Fred Breen, local Y. M. C. A. counselor, was the adviser of the club. WINGED SHIELD ANY ONE who had obtained a letter, either as a yell leader, manager, commissioner, or member of a team was eligible for the Winged Shield society, which had its be- ginning this term. Under the leadership of its president, Bob Swan, and its adviser, Mr. Culbertson, the organization succeeded to the place left vacant when the Block “R” society disbanded. The chief duty of the club was the patrol of the football field during games. One social event, a feed after the Alameda game, at which Carol Pitchford spoke, was held during the term, as well as several meetings during advisory period. The officers were: President, Bob Swan; secretary, Lloyd Pearson; vice-presi- dent, James Locke; sergeant-at-arms, George Jelcich. EEN Neue THE MANAGERIAL SYSTEM this year was conducted under the supervision of five senior managers instead of the usual three. The managers, who have charge of the equipment, serve the Student Association constantly. The five senior managers were Chester Chappell, Herbert Brougham, Carl Sirard, David Newsom, and Wah Kong. Junior managers were Ed McLaughlin, Alan Clarke, Baldwin Peterson, Bruce Dugan, Harold Tomlinson, and Thomas Webster. The sophomore managers were Pete Costa, Leland Hardesty, Byron Ellis, Alexander Trolese, Wesley Woolley, Joe Gomez, Vernon Archibald, Bill Elhs, Louis Besseghini, Thomas Costella, Donald MacDonald, Howard French, Jarrett Green, and Harold Johnson.

Their season opened with a 3-0 defeat on an overcrowded field at University High in Oakland. A field goal by a Cub guard in the third quarter was the only score. Richmond threatened once when a pass to Merideth put them in scoring position. Classing Richmond as a “set-up” team, a football squad from Galileo High in San Francisco came to Richmond and gave the local squad their first taste of victory. Merideth scored through the line. The final score was 6-0. After their surprising victory over Galileo, Richmond invaded the home erounds of the Vallejo Apaches. The Richmond team failed to click and, as a result, came out on the short end of a 14-0 score. Playing on a newly dedicated turf field at San Rafael, Richmond handed the 3ulldogs their first defeat of the season. A pass and lateral play from Jelcich to Moitoza to Merideth made the only tally. The Richmond line showed their super- iority throughout the contest. A 90-yard run by the second heaviest man on the Richmond squad was the feature of the game with Alameda when Bob Drexel intercepted a pass and raced to the goal. The final tally was Richmond 6, Alameda 0. The Richmond squad set almost a record in the next game when they completed every pass they tried, to swamp Alhambra 28-7. Moitoza scored twice on midfield passes from Jelcich, Swan scored once on a pass from the 20, and Merideth scored from the 30. An over-confident Richmond team was lucky to get a tie with a fighting Con- cord team in their next game. McLaughlin scored after recovering a blocked kick. Blocked kicks gave Hayward High a 20-12 victory over Richmond in the next contest. Merideth and Bignall scored for Richmond. All three Hayward touch- downs were the result of blocked punts. After holding the Saint Mary’s Preps scoreless for two quarters and leading them for one, the Richmond team succumbed to a last minute rally and lost their big game, 21-7. Richmond scored on a pass-lateral from Jelcich to Moitoza to Meri- deth. All three Panther scores came in the fourth quarter on long passes. One interesting fact about the season was that Richmond scored exactly the same number of points during the season as did their opponents. Both scored 7 1. Richmond had one of the best passing attacks in the bay region and their line showed up well on several occasions. JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL ANOTHER B FOOTBALL season has been completed. The squad, coached by Griffin Carey, is to be commended on their excellent spirit throughout the season. ane squad this year was called the Junior varsity and consisted of sophomores and juniors. The Richmond J. V’s took the field in their first game of the season against University High. The final score was 6-0 in favor of Richmond. Elton Brom- bacher scored after receiving a pass from Goettel. In their second game of the season the Richmond squad came near beating an undefeated Berkeley B team, only to lose in the last four minutes, 6-0. The R. U. H. S. team threatened several times, but was unable to score. The second string squad of San Leandro High gave the Jayvees their second 1. “Mac” Tosses One. 2. What the Other Team Saw. 3.

The next game, which was to have been with the Alameda Goots, was called off because of a mixed schedule. After a two weeks’ rest, the Richmond squad came back strong to defeat a powerful Alhambra eleven, 13-7. Brombacher and Costa made the Richmond touchdowns with Faust adding the extra point. The close of the Junior varsity’s season came with a defeat b y the Berkeley High Goof squad by the score of 7-0. This was not bad, considering the fact that Richmond was outweighed seven pounds to a man. Much new material which will prove of value to Coach Ribbel next year was uncovered on the Junior varsity. Even this term the squad proved of value, for several times a man was promoted to the varsity during the season. From the standpoint of their record, this was one of the best seasons the Richmond High sec- ond team has vet had. Captain Paul Moitoza, probably the best end Richmond ever had. His splendid leadership and heads-up football aided Richmond in many games. John Ivancich, a small but hard-driving fullback. He could tackle with the best of them. James Locke, a tackle who should make a name for himself at the University of San Francisco. Locke and Bob Drexel paired made one of the best combinations in the Eastbay. Francis Smith, who played all but 14 minutes of the entire season. His kicking greatly aided the Richmond squad. Don Minor, a light guard, who did a big man’s work. Don backed up the line on defense. Jack Haase, a stone wall in the center of the line. Both on offense and defense he was an exceptional player. George Jelcich, whose specialty was passing. George played halfback on offense and safety on defense. Frank Merideth, a powerhouse who could make yards. Frank was Richmond’s high scorer for the season, with a total of 36 points to his credit. Ray Mathews, a powerful guard. Ray gave the opponent plenty of trouble. Bill McLaughlin, an inexperienced end who played brilliant football. He could always be counted on to come through with the goods. Bob Swan. a made over tackle, who played a great game at end until he was injured. His play was not brilliant, but it was consistent. Jim De Phillips, a promising halfback, who will be returning next year. Jim should be Rich- mond’s main threat. Bob Drexel. an exceptionally good tackle. Bob was always one of the first men to get down under Smith’s punts and make the tackle. James Ruffatto, a tackle. Although not as experienced as Drexel and Locke, Jim always gave a good account of himself when he played. Elmer Bagley, who alternated with Ivancich at fullback. Bagley was a hard hitting player both on defense and offense. JUNIOR VARSITY PLAYERS Wilbur Hosmer, who became captain of the Junior varsity. His leadership and playing ability made him one of the most valuable men on the squad. John Coakley, a good tackle who was handicapped by injuries. Francis Mythen, who played so well in his first year at football that he saw service on the varsity many times. Ed Pontious, a sophomore guard who may some day become a great player. Karl Johnson, a center who was at best when the game was the hardest. Charles Brown, who in time will be a star on the varsity. Kenneth Henson, although injured at the first of the season, came back to play an outstanding game in the tackle position. Charles Jacobs, who was seldom taken out of play. William Costa, whose constant hard hitting kept the opponent from making any large gains. Elton Brombacher, a fast and shifty quarterback who looks as if he has a good future before him. Tom Martinez, a big, rangy halfback who was coming along great until he had to leave school. John Avila, a promising halfback who may be varsity material next year. Paul Blank, a consistent line-backer who took great delight in smacking them. John O’Malley, probably the best end the Junior varsity ever had. John saw action on the varsity before the season was over. Adolf Anderegg, a sophomore tackle who was constantly breaking up opponents’ interference. Don Bignall, although he received a B letter, played also on the varsity. Don scored a touch- down against Hayward on a 48-yard run. George Jester, an experienced end who specializes on defense. He also played with varsity. Frank Kosich, a tackle who shows great possibilities. Bob Abernethy, another experienced player. It was only his lack of weight that stopped him from playing on the varsity. GIRLS SPORTS . . .

It is really an art that has never been appreciated and probably never will be. I shall list three fine methods. The best method, the one used by experts, is the “indifferent approach” method. Tn this method you enter the room and walk by the bureau, completely ignoring it. This makes the bureau believe that you are going to do something else and it no longer pays attention. You then suddenly wheel, catching the bureau off guard, and easily and quickly open the desired drawer. “he next method, the one used by country folk, is a bit crude, but effective. You walk directly to the bureau, plant your right foot on the drawer below the required one, grasp the handles of the drawer and tug vigorously. This method is least used, because it usually ends in disaster for the person and the bureau. The drawer sometimes comes loose so easily that the person falls over backwards, spilling the contents of the drawer. If these two methods fail, there is still one possibility, the old standby, that of pulling easily, seeing that both sides of the drawer are pulled at the same time. The people who use this method usually succeed in opening the drawer by the fourth attempt, while the other two methods average six or seven attempts. Even though many unsaintly phrases have been directed at bureau drawers, those who have become skilled through practice secretly wish that the art of opening them may never die out-—Ed Simuth. THE HURRICANE COWBOY’S LIFE It roars and howls among the trees, The howl of the steers Dashing and whirling over the leas; In a cowboy’s ears It brings terror to whoever sees Is music of sweetest strain, The Hurricane. And the howling notes é Of thieving coyotes It dashes the water into foam, Is truly a glad refrain. And tears big holes in the fertile loam; ‘ It then continues on to roam, His carefree song, The Hurrican e. As he rides along, : Tells of a life sublime. It raises havoc on the farms, Wiathonie acare Uprooting trees, unroofing barns, Fe will tacty there: And the whole countryside alarms— Throughout ‘the pages of time. The Hurricane. —Catherine Bastin. For a prince’s fate In a palace great His saddle he would not change. LIFE’S ENDING No life could be So full and free As a cowboy’s on his home range. —Phyllis Tandy. The young face looked to graying skies; The still, dead, cold, wide, staring eyes Saw not the hard-fought battle won, But mutely told of duty done. Behind him lay earth’s daily strife; Behind him lay a stormy life; Behind him lay the friends so dear; Behind him lay all hope and fear. Hiss funeral hymn was cannon’s roar; His bier was earth’s hard stony floor; His grave the soldier’s last reward; His silent soul to heaven soared. —Alan Sill. FROM THE CLASSES FAME Regarding fame, I used to think that nothing could be fairer, But now I’ve come to see that immortality is rarer. Now Nero was a noble man, and Caesar was a greater; Yet both of them were dead and gone some generations later. Then Bonaparte, whom nations strong, down from their heights were casting, Soon found his conquests faded out, but Death’s were really lasting. Take Washington, and Lincoln, too, whose hist’ry making ended, oS J = And unto Death their trusty heads, once high, were lowly bended. No further envy do I feel for fame or high position, For now or later these must take surrender sans condition. —Stephanie Clark. NATURE It’s nice to get up in the morning, To hop and to skip is your feeling When everyone else is up too; As nature casts o’er you her spell It gives one a feeling of friendship, Of the joy and the greatness of living, A friendship that’s gay and is true. And the urge to do everything well. The sunbeams play “round at your window, It’s a grand and a glorious feeling, And beckon you, “Come out to play, To see others enjoy it too, To join with the birds in their singing, Appreciating old Nature, And help make a more perfect day.” Even as you and I both do. And once you get out in the open, It’s nice to get up in the morning, You'll want to stay out all the time, When everyone else is up too; Just gazing at nature intently, It gives one a feeling of friendship, As she proves that she is sublime. A friendship that’s gay and is true. —Ruth Eichar. A LITTLE TERRIER FOOTBALL IS TAME I’m just a little terrier, First a signal, then a thud, So round and plump and sleek, Then your face is in the mud; But for company any merrier, Twenty-one pile on your back, You'd seek and seek and seek. Till you fear some bones will crack. Close to your ears a whistle blows, I play hide and tag with master, But that’s the way that football goes; And ’round and round we go, Til the old house rings with laughter, Twenty-one climb off your frame; And the walls shake to and fro. Yet someone said, “Football is tame.” I sit up straight and bark my name : I ae : , ? Another signal, another whack, I dance a jig and then I sing; All my tunes—they are the same, But master says, “That’s just the thing!” The line is given another crack; The fans and fanettes loudly shout, The water boy comes scooting out, 7 He gives to me a nice big bone, Our halfback grabs the ball so tight, And oh, how fast away I run And runs and runs with all his might. Out to my kennel all alone, It’s over, and we’ve won the game, To eat the prize that I have won. Two killed but then, “Football is tame.” —Lois Deadrich. —Wilda La Plante. . Mechanical Drawing. .

Doors BURST open; students sprawl over the halls; girls giggle and cackle; a period has ended. Everyone is in a hurry to get nowhere. Now and then someone stops to sock a friend. Some girl’s books flop on the floor; the boys tramp on them and give the girl a disdainful look. Gradually the halls clear. By the time the tardy bell rings peace and quiet again reigns in the halls. Moral—Actions speak louder than words. CLASSROOM FABLES LAST CHRISTMAS a party was given for the benefit of the patients of the Cottage Hospital. Gordon Lowe, who acted as Santa Claus, sent the following report to the Hi-Nus. “The first thing on the program was a song by Janet Walker. This didn’t go over so hot because the singer was a little horse that night . “Next was a violent solo by Jack Ryan. Jack proved to be a true pall by giving two pieces. “Following this was a skit put on by Rodney Brothers, Marjorie Shurtleff, Anna Mae Williams, and Don Minor. The play was about a man, Rod, who souled bonds. He married the boss’s daughter, Marjorie. After marrying his financee he had martial disagreements and Marjorie sewed Anna Mae for alienation of Rod’s affections. “After this I impersonated Santa’s Claws, and after scarring some of the little children, I took some of my friends and went on a slaying party in the Berkeley Hills,” [SSE BOOTBALL? THE STANDS groaned and creaked from the frantic yelling of the wild rooters. The drums drumming; trumpets trumpeting; girls shrieking; boys bellowing for an end run. The game was nearly over when all of a sudden the stands quieted. The candy seller had finally galloped across the field to appease the hunger of the crowd. THE SHELVES CLATTER, BANG! A whole shelf of boo ks hit the library floor. A ripple of titters runs through the library. The librarian looks up with a frown on her face. Those shelves in the library are as tricky as “Scooter” Warburton. If you are in a hurry to get a book, at least one of the darn things is sure to fall. These inno- cent shelves have caused more students to turn crimson than any other thing in school. A brother of mine named Joe Pete, The man on the flying trapeze, Had trouble finding room for his feet. Fell to the ground with the greatest of ease, He traveled to Boston, And thus lost his life, In the rush there he lost ’em, After stealing that wife, And he tied up the traffic for weeks. Because he just couldn’t help sneeze! —Evelyn Overaa. . Four Mustyteers. Copy Murderers. 3. Going to Class. A Walk Out. : Proof to Read. Tey Ca “Cuby” in Action. 7. Our Photographer. 8.
