It was indeed an unusual op- portunity to enter high school when our country was still at peace, to live during a great world war, to see peace come again to the world and finally to see the reconstruction begin. The class of 1920 had that opportunity and has profited by it. We were the last Freshman class to attend the main building. In our first year the great causeway parade was held in which our class was well represented. In the same year the X-Ray was started and received our hearty support. The Review of that year was the first one published without ads. During our Sophomore year the United States entered the war. Then there was the first Red Cross drive. In our Sophomore and Junior years war w-ork of all kinds went on, liberty bonds, parades, Red Cross parades, Belgian Relief, Salvage, Red Cross and all kinds of patriotic work. In all of these activities the class of 1920 did its part. ' After the world's affairs were settled we began to adjust some of our own affairs. One of the first things that was done was to draw up a new H. S. Constitution, reorganizing Student Government and to put it into action. Then the long hoped for cafeteria came. In this semester school bonds have been obtained and nobody is happier about it than the .Senior class which after spending four years in this building realizes the need of a new one. So much for our work with the school in general. We seem to have spent our first year in getting acquainted with the school and our new position as high school students. In our Sopho- more year we sold the greatest number of tickets for the Art Exhibit, which was held here and won the picture of Stratford on Avon? We presented this to the school and it is hung in the main entrance hall. In our Junior year we were joined by a number of students who desired to make high school in three years and a half. Needless to say they were most welcome. In that year we also gave the annual Junior Prom. Both presidents under the new constitution-Don Phipps and Lester Schworer-have been elected from the class of 1920. They have made the school known all over the state and have put more spirit into the Sacramento High School than was ever here before. Last June we took charge of the decorating for the Commencement at McKinley Park. One of the distinctive features was two long daisy chains carried by the low Seniors who escorted the graduates to the REVIEW 27 platform. After the graduation the class of 1920 gave them a dance at the Washington School. The whole affair was a great success. This semester we inaugurated a peanut sale, the first one given here. On leaving high school we carry with us some very dear memories and among them the one that the class of 1920 has always been congenial and successful in all its undertakings. Following is a list of the graduates and what they intend doing after they graduate. These will take a post-graduate course: Elenor Taylor, Richard Vvagner, Honora Melvin, Fay Schoenbachler, Henry Kleinsorge, Ned Kay, Rosemary Harkin, Bernice Ford, Harry McKnigl1t, Opal Pressler, Edward Dalzell, Paul Richardson, Helen Schroeder and Amy Culver.

C.: Lester Schwoerer, Donald Phipps, Ward Schwoerer, Nathan Forman, Charles Krebs, Walter Frates, Merwin Williams, Carlton Doyle, Wallace Bongard, and Ewdard Matteson. Stella Craven, Dorothy Leamon, Pearl Saunders, Alice Claxton, and Emma Fortado will go to the Chico Normal School. Ruth Carper and Mabel Marchand will go to U. C. Dorothy Lindner and Ruth Renfro are undecided what to do. Bernice Hornstein will go to business college. Evelyn Goodson, Fred McConnell, Ruth Merwin, James Long- shore, Oresti Giorgi, and Addison Read will go to work. Earl Driver and Bradford Simmons will go to Stanford. Earl Fountain is going East. Leslie McCracken will go to the Southern Pacific School. George Barnes will go to work for six months, and will then attend the Affiliated College of Dentistry. Basil Beach, Crawford Johnson, and Dan Druge will go to work, and later go to Davis Farm. REVIEW Tomorrow The little purple violet Blooming by the way, Lifts up its head in welcome To the coming day. Many high school pupils Sleeping away the hours, At the first ray of sunshine ,Neath the covers vainly cower. Moral: Don't sleep half your life away. Don't hide from tomorrow. Tomorrow is just today lived o'er With added joy and sorrow. FLORA LEE, '20. My Home Before me are the fields of green Above the skies of blue, And flowers the finest ever seen Show nie their beauty too. And yet you sigh so wearily Alone in the city wide, Oh how I wish that you could see The place where I abide. RUTH MASON, '21 REVIEW X55 DDQ. 0 30 REVIEW Class Prophecy HE huge, dim theatre was but half filled when we entered and took our seats. It was one of the warmest days of the summer outside, but in there all was quiet and cool. The play had not commenced. Suddenly the conductor lifted his baton, and a peal of music came from the orchestra, while on the screen appeared these words: O Wad power the giftie gie us To see oursells as others see us! Down in one corner was a green wall with a huge red '20 painted on it. I sat up with a start! When had I seen a wall like that before? It seemed to awaken vague memories. Then I recalled that way back in 1920 the Seniors of Sacramento High School had painted their insignia on the scaling wall, when it was the fad for boys from the various classes to decorate the wall on dark nights. How long ago it seemed. I wondered what it had to do with the play, and turned my attention to the screen on which appeared the auditorium of old S. H. S. It was crowded with people and on the stage sat rows of young men and women, in their caps and gowns, each holding the much prized sheepskin. In the center of the platform, addressing the audience, stood Mr. Williams. The scene faded as we read this: Fifteen years ago, on January 30, 1920, the Senior class of the Sac- ramento High School received their diplomas and left their high school days behind them for the wider vistas of the world and success. A few years ago, Carl Wegner of the Wegner Film Corporation, while making a tour of the world, found himself in a position to secure pictures -of many of his former high school classmates. So, realizing that their many friends were curious to know how the world was treating them, he returned to America and completed the film. A throng of excited children stood watching a man hang large circus posters on a billboard. The first contained a picture of a stout, genial appearing gentleman with very curly hair. Across the top was printed: Barnes' Six Ring Circus-George Barnes, Manager. On another poster two beautiful girls were shown swinging from a trapezeg and it was announced that Mlle. Alice Claxton and Dorothy Leamon would electrify the audience with their mid-air stunts. The posters vanished and we saw again the crowd of children. This time the man with the brush turned and we recognized Ed Matteson-evidently Ed was still successful in his role of publicity man. Next the tents of the circus appeared and through the crowd of eager spectators we beheld Flora Lee, loudly proclaiming, so the sub- title read, the beauties of a three-headed boy, the only one in the world. From her appearance Flora was as loquacious as of old. Evidently quite a few of our class had found their vocation beneath the canvass, for in the following scene in the animal tent was Fred McConnell distributing hay to a score of dilapidated camels. Dan Druge was wandering about in the fantastic garb of a clown and seemed to be enjoying himself. In the last scene Alice and Dorothy were performing before an admiring aud- ience. The scene shifted abruptly to a handsomely furnished private office. There we saw a slender, gray-haired man-Bradford Simmons, president of the Big S. Corporation. The stout, light-haired gentleman by Simmons' desk seemed rather nervous as if asking a favor. And a sub-title told us that Paul Richardson, president of a small town bank, REVIEW 31 was attempting to borrow money to start business again after five years of bankruptcy. Just as Simmons was about to announce his decision the scene faded. Quite a few of our class we learned now, had entered the bonds of matrimony, and the next scene was one of the prettiest pictures of wedded bliss ever seen. It was in a garden before a small white cottage. A man and woman were strolling arm-in-arm about the paths, just at twilight. They were Lucille Knapp and Meredith Jones. Surely, fate plays some queer tricks. The next was not so pleasant. It was in a crowded court room in Reno. At the bench was Amy Culver, one of the most eminent women of the judiciary, listening carefully to a speech made by Marion Haines, prosecuting attorney. On the witness stand was Carlton Doyle, looking pale and careworn. We learned that he was being sued for divorce by his fourth wife. Then we were shown Honora Melvin, in the spotless white rooms of a beauty parlor having her hair dressed by Mlle. Crussell, the famous specialist. Outside in their luxurious limousine, sat Crawford Williamson waiting for her with all the virtuous patience of a hen-peck- ed husband. Earl Driver was also married but we caught only a glimpse of his dark-eyed wife. After this a series of entirely different scenes was shown. We saw Ned Kay and Nathan Forman staging a prize fight in one of the New York rings. Eleanor Clementz was on the Orpheum circuit in a reper- toire of song and dance. The great English School in Belgium, where future immigrants are Americanized was shown next, and there was Stella Craven and Janet Cunningham, busily instructing their classes. Fay Schoenbackler, the famous authoress, was shown lecturing before a cooking class on her book, The Only Correct Way in Which to Make Fudge. Ward Schworer was also on the Orpheum as an Indian club swinger. We read on the screen that Ward frankly stated that his practice as yell leader was what brought him his position. Stephen Kyle, once editor of the X-Ray, was working as a cub reporter on the San Francisco Examiner. Harry McKnight, the composer of the famous American opera, The Golden Gate, was shown seated at his piano. We then saw Walter Frates demonstrating the wonderful value of a new hair tonic. He always convinces his audience by stating that he has used the hair tonic for years. Some were far away from Sacramento. Earl Fontaine was a mis- sionary in the jungles of Africa, Howard Carr was ambassador to Chile, and James McConnell owned a sheep ranch in Australia. was shown as an art student in Paris. Her paintings had already won many commendations. Oh for a life on the ocean wave, were the words which next appeared on the screen. And then we saw, on the deck of a cruiser, a jolly old tar jazzing around with a scrub brush in one hand and a pail of water in the other. This was another surprise for we recognized Harold Betts. The next scene was rather elaborate. It showed the hall of the International Congress at Paris. The auditorium was crowded with thousands of men of all nations, and addressing them from the chair was a man who, it is said, began his political career as president of the Sacra- mento High School. One sentence of his speech was flashed across the screen, Gentle- men if the League of Nations canit put this thing through the United States will. We'll do it and do it bigli' No introduction was required. , i , i J 32 REVIEW In the group of men before him were Frank Genshlea and Leslie Mc- Cracken, two of our nationts representatives. Bernice Hornstein appeared next as a Math teacher in the new Sac- ramento High School, not the old building we all knew so well. This scene explained Bernice's devotion to Math. during her school days. In the studio of Ruth Carper we caught a glimpse of Mabel Marchand, the famous actress, posing for some close ups. A scientist's labratory ap- peared and we saw Richard Wagner hard at Work. He was perfecting his thirteenth invention of unbreakable bubbles. The labratory van- ished and a scene in the woods took its place. Beside a small stream strolled two anglers, Henry Kleinsorge and Merril Hoffelt. Kleinsorge is renowned for being the only man who ever caught two fish on one hook. In the next scene we saw Dorothy Lindner entertaining a group of Women at her summer home. In spite of her many experiments Dorothy was still an independent bachelor girl. Among her guests were Geraldine Rainey, a prominent settlement worker in New York, and Margaret Benedict the famous poetess. In a school in the Philippines, Emma Fortado held the rod of authority over her class of unruly boys and girls. A skillful arm defly hung shoulders of meat on long rows of hooks in a butcher shop. The ruddy faced man engaged in this work was Charlie Wise. The shop faded into a. restaurant window where Merwin Williams stood demonstrating a new flap-jack flour. A crowd of children watched with bulging eyes while he tossed the cakes into the air and caught them again. One girl of our class who had won fame was Lorene Simmons, the famous American prima donna. Her wonderful voice has charmed peo- ple of all nations. We caught sight of her just as she was leaving for her annual European tour. We next beheld a desk piled high with papers. From out of their midst rose the bald head of Fred Smith editor of the London Punch. Since Fred became editor the Punch has had more kick in it than any magazine published. From London we swerved back to America in time to see a huge bridge in the process of construction. In a rude cabin beside it was a desk covered with plans. A construction engineer was bending over them, deep in thought. It was Ed Dalzell. Then we noticed on the desk beside him a photograph of a woman, evidently his Wife. The scene shifted and we caught a better glimpse of the face. It was also familiar. Opal Pressler! A long line of cadets in West Point swept across the screen. They were being reviewed by General Phipps of the U. S. Army. This was fol- lowed by a hospital scene and there was Rosemary Harkin, a Red Cross nurse in the war with Japan. We found ourselves next viewing a handsomely furnished studio where Ruth Renfro was training a class of future vamps. This scene gave place to a Chinese school and there at the head of her class, was Belle Latta, the famous missionary in the country of the yellow men. In a dense forest was Eleanor Taylor the first woman to be given a position as forest ranger. A cold expanse of snow filled the next scene, but in the center was a rude hut and a campfire. The aged man bending over the fire was Wal- lace Bongard, who for 10 years had been searching for a platinum mine in Alaska. From the Yukon to Palm Beach is quite a leap-but the next second we were peering through a cloud of dust at a huge yellow racer. Then Crawford Johnson appeared holding in his arms the Vanderbilt REVIEW 33 cup which he had just won. The race track became a garage in the next scene when we watched Lawrence Corbett selling a 1935 Cadillac to Eve- lyn Goodson, the second Theda Bara. While the last few scenes had been flitting across the screen I began to wonder why so few of the commercial students had been showin. The next scene however contained several of them. We were transported to the world of business and found before us the interior of a San Francis- co bank. In his private office sat a tall dignified man, Reuben Mervin, the president, conferring with the directors, one of whom was Gussie Hack- barth. John Fitzgerald was cashier and two of the president's stenog- raphers were Mabel Warmby and Fannie Shliff. James Longshore appeared clad in blue overalls and carrying a broom. He performed the office of janitor. Evidently the director had thought it best to put most of the commercial students together for the next scene contained several others. Dorris Jones was selling music in a 10 cent store, and May Sal- vetti was working in Los Angeles as a landscape gardner. From the commercial world we caught a glimpse of the industrial. The immense cotton mills which are managed by Pete Read were shown next and then a large cotton field near them in the Sacramento Valley ap- peared. It was owned by Walter Sheehan, a man who accomplished most of the work of starting the cotton in this valley. And now came a great surprise! We saw before us the newly com- pleted Capital Extension Buildings of which Sacramento is so proud. One of the first of the State officials to occupy them was Helen Schroeder, Superintendent of Sch-ools. Her pretty stenographer was Lorraine Sul- livan. The streets of New York appeared and cautiously stealing along a dark alley was a thin faced man, Oresti Georgi, the most famous plain- clothes man in the secret service. The scene faded and we saw the snow-covered Alps. In a pictur- esque costume was Charles Krebs, an Alpine guide for tourists. By this time I was getting rather weary of the long film and had almost decided to leave when a scene filled with action passed across the screen, and I paused. A huge mob of excited people was gathered around a platform from which a man was speaking. Some great event was about to take place I supposed. Then two close-ups revealed two areoplanes. In one was seated Basil Beach who held a world's record in air navigation. The other was occupied by a woman, Pearl Saunders, another champion. They were to race for the supremacy of the world. We watched the start breathlessly. One plane forged aheadg the other darted after. Suddenly one swerved and seemed to tilt forward. It charged at full speed directly toward the other plane! I remember that I grasped the seat in front of me and screamed. Then I seemed to hear a crash and I found myself sitting up in my bed at home. In both hands I gripped my alarm clock which tinkled merrily. I had knocked a glass of water off the stand by 1ny bed when I grasped it. Finally I realized that I had dreamed it all and that it was actually the 30th day of January, 1920. But even now when I recall my strange dream I regret that I did not see my own future on the screen. L. K., '20. B. F., '20, REVIEVV IL13 ' gp REVIEW Q Az: 2-', cfflf ,Q-. L0ml S0 1910 R 36 REVIEW The Perfect End of a Day gg AMES is at such an uninteresting age-thirteen you know. It is too bad, isn't it? Why, my brother is just the same as James. So unin- teresting and always in the way. James, sitting on the back door step, heard the words, and a dark flush mounted his brow, the answer of his sister's companion killed a budding romance that had but lately entered his heart. He arose and walked down the path out into the broad, sunny avenue. His sisteris words came as a climax to an already unhappy week, and Mother, his real friend was ill. He kicked a pebble viciously. Today was Saturday, baseball day, and when Mother was well, cake and pie. Early in the morning he had entered the kitchen and asked Mary when the cake would be done. She had muttered something about youngsters always ready to eat. Then he had met his brother Fred, for whom he had a deep feeling of admiration. Hello, sonny, Fred's greeting had been. James had tried to laugh, but a small lump in his throat checked him. Next he met his father and asked for his weekly allowance. Father had given him the money, then looked him over with a slow disconcerting gaze. You must hurry up, James, and grow to an age when you'll be able to earn your own allowance, said his father with a kind pat on James' shoulder, but James had swallowed another hard lump in his throat. He went out and sat on the front steps. Then his sister's Voice reached his ears. Uninteresting. I wonder just when a fellow becomes uninteresting, he said. He started to walk down the street. He was glad he met none of the boys. He wanted to be alone. His allowance jingled in his pocket, and with the jingle came a thought. He wouldn't touch a penny of it. He would earn his own money and buy his mother some roses. Perhaps his uninteresting age would not affect the grocer, when he saw such big hands and willing feet. James reached the grocery store and went to the proprietor, who knew him. Do you want a boy to help deliver goods, he asked. You're just in time, James. We're short of help. Get on that wagon going out. I'll pay you fifty cents a dayf' James did so, and the wagon started at a mad pace. After hours of climbing stairs, the day ended, leaving him with weary feet, skinned knuckles, and every bone in his body having a separ- ate ache. He had pocketed his fifty cents and was on his way home. He stopped at the florists and purchased some very pale creamy looking roses. It was quite late by now, but he knew they wouldn't miss him at home. They would be very much relieved because he wasn't there. At last he reached the house and walked bravely in. One of his long legs came in connection with a leg of a chair, but he recovered himself quickly, and going over near his father, placed the fifty cents he had received from him that morning near his plate. . I worked today, Father, he said in a low voice, and I'm able to return the money to you, l'm just as much obliged though. It's all right, isn't it? he asked. You see I wanted roses for Mother. REVIEW 37 Still the father did not answer because of a tightening in his throat. James turned and ran upstairs. Reaching his Mother's room he gently pushed open the door. Yes, she was there. She looked around dreamily, then half started at the pathetic little figure standing there, carefully holding an armful of roses. She held out her arms, and in a minute he was in them, sobbing and kissing her, forgetting his soiled hands and uninteresting age. After a long silence he looked up and said, with a happy smile It doesnit matter what people say so long as I have Mother. LEONORE MORRILL. '22 Pep, With a Question ark HE last red scarf and bright blue cap had vanished over the hill just as the bright winter sun went behind a cloud. With the color of the bright winter garments, the dazzle of the sun on the snow, and the bright eyes and rosy cheeks of healthy children surrounding it on all sides, the little brown schoolhouse had been a bright spot on the land- scapeg but now that the children had slammed the last door, and had swung their books over their shoulders for the homeward journey, and the sun had gone behind the clouds, the little brown schoolhouse seemed to settle into its hollow in the snow, not unlike an ugly brown cocoon in a fence corner from which a few moments before, a beautiful colored moth had risen in the air and disappeared. Inside the ugly brown building, the teacher put her hot head down on the desk. In her hand she held a letter addressed to, Miss Helen Grayson, Corners, Kentucky. That was the teacher. , She was of the type one always thinks of as twenty-eight. Her hair looked as if it might have been yellow but had faded in the wash, and her eyes were watery blue. Her one redeeming feature was a round little mouth which was drawn down at the corners from too constant use of a frown, and it had a habit of quivering when anything went wrong. It was running a race now with a tear that was fast working its way toward the end of her nose. The envelope contained a polite, concise, carefully worded little note from the school trustees, saying that the school was not doing as well as usual, and that if an improvement was not made by the end of the month, another teacher would take her place in the little brown school at the Corners. As Miss Grayson read the note for the fourth time, she seemed to read between the lines the accusing words, and it's all your fault, your fault, your fault. She sobbed the words over and over, It's my fault, it's my fault. When she became quiet once more, she began hunting for the rea- son that she had failed. Why had the Corner's school failed to win the spelling match this year when always before it had carried off the laurel? 38 REVIEW Goodness knew she had worked hard enough for it! Many a pupil had she kept after school and drilled hard and long. Why had the Corners failed to get the singing school this season, and why had the Christmas enter- tainment fallen flat? What was it that she, Helen Grayson, lacked? Could it be that she lacked-lacked-what was that word that just that day she had run a red pencil through in correcting a composition paper? It was pep! That was it! Could it be that she lacked the life that these three letters spelled. She absent-mindedly wrote her name on a paper pad and after it, pep'l with a large question mark. The old clock ticked off minute after minute as Helen Grayson, country school teacher, sat with her head bowed on her desk. After sev- eral minutes she picked up a thumbworn book at her side and turned to the well known words, which emblazoned themselves on her brain, Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep and you weep alone. That must be the secret! Laugh and the world laughs with you -that was a pleasant idea. She would try it! She would print the words on her banner and vaunt them in the face of her enemies, like the old time crusaders! Already the idea had seized her, and she sprang from her seat with renewed interest in life and a quickening of pulses. She ran the first half mile to her boarding place, and the keen wind put color in her cheeks and a glint in her eyes which made her look almost pretty, and with a smile she admitted to herself that she had never felt better in her life. The next morning the children met a changed teacher. Her eyes were bright, and she had a smile on her lips as she said breathlessly to her pupils, 'Tm going to bring my piano here so you can dance, and next week we'll have the candy pull you've been wanting. I'll write tonight for the new song b-ooks, and,',-she stopped for breath, I just can't tell you all the good things we're going to do. Johnny Phillipps twisted around in his seat and said, loud enough for everyone to hear, Talking of pep-sayll' Suddenly it came to Helen Grayson, as she stood there before her class, that it was good to be alive, and she laughed to herself. And to think that all this time I've been weeping alone. SYBIL KERR. '22. Census AM VVILLING to swear itg I'll never take census. again. Next time I am asked I shall play sick. This will be the best way, because it is either play sick the day before or be sick the day after. Broom handles make uncommonly large bumps on the head, and dogs take big chunks of trousers and sometimes pieces of flesh to match from that part of the anatomy most used. I nearly had to eat my meals off the mantle piece. Then there is something else: black eyes may look good on some people, but they don't on me.. If there is any one who is not satisfied with the color of his or her eyes, he or she can have the color changed by taking census. Fists as big as hams make very good black dye-dye that doesn't fade very easily. If you don't believe it come around and I will show you my lights, and also where the fists live. This is how I got the bump on the head: I walked up to a house REVIEW ' 39 and rang the bell. I saw the shade raise a little bit and then the door opened. It was a woman large in height and large in width. She stood with one hand on her hip and the other holding a broom, her legs spread slightly apart, and a look of-well, she looked like the picture one sees of Mars, the God of War. Before I could speak she said calmly, but meaningly: Sure, an' if ye be a book agint, Oi advise ye to clear out before ye commince to spake yer lies about thim books. I told her that selling books was out of my line, and that I was a census taker. Sure, she said, and so that's what ye are. Oi could tell by the look of yer face that ye wasn't an honest man, but sure and be jabbers ye can't take my senses. . I had to explain, and finally I found out that her name was Susan O'Donnelly, and that she also had tin little darlin's. They sure were darlings all right if they took after their mother. And now I hit a snag. The next question was, How old are you? I asked it. She asked me to guess, and I thought I would flatter her, so I answered forty-seven. ' I heard a grunt, and then a splinter of wood hit me on the nose. The broom handle was broken across my head, and as I was running away I heard these words: Sure, an' you tell them to sind me a man who can be a gintleman, if they want to get me name. Oi would have ye know that I am only twenty-four. I could just hear the last words faintly, because I was going some. That accounts for the bump, doesn't it? Then I went to another house. I just got onto the steps when I saw a white streak start toward me from the top of them. I didn't wait to see what it was. I guess I had a presentiment. Anyway, I didn't stop to open the gate. I went over it. Then the woman came and told me how sorry she was that Fido took me for a peddler, but that she knew that he would forgive me for not being one, and that I would forgive him. Of course, I forgave him, but my trousers will never get over it. It was quite a shock to them. After Fido missed me, they were quite a shock to people who looked my way. The next place that I went to was an Italian home. A man came to the door and told me that I was to get out. I started to tell him my business, but a ham hit me in the eyes. It looked like it had a rod attached to it. When I came to he was standing in the door with his sleeve rolled up. His fist was as large as my head, so I came to the conclusion that he had hit me with it, because my wh-ole head was sore. I went to other houses, too, and found some queer things. An old maid, in one house, gave her age as thirty-five. My mother knows her, and said that she was forty, five years ago. If she keeps up she will get young quick. I am going to tell Uncle Sam to change that question from How old are you? to How old do you want to be? Maybe he will get the truth then. I found two men in an apartment house owned by a friend of mine. According to each of these men they owned the building, and had paid off the mortgage many years ago. The house is one year old. They did well, didn't they? I finished up my work, and I guess I am lucky. I've been through a census and haven't been killed yet. 40 REVIEW Assemblies URING the past six months we have had many interesting as well as educational assemblies. Through the efforts of Mr. Williams, our principal, the Board of Education and City Commissioners we have been able to listen to some of the best and most prominent speakers in the United States. We take this opportunity of thanking them in behalf of the school for all they have done for us. During our football season the City Commissioners came to one of our rallies and gave talks on athletics in the high schools of the states and the benefits derived from them. Although we did not win the state championship as we expected to do we surely made a name for the Sac- ramento High School. Next we had a talk by Mr. Ott on Victory , He was probably the best speaker we had visit us during the last semester. His command of the English language and his ability to express himself astounded us and showed many of us how little we know of our native language. Then came Mr. Julian Arnold, a former graduate of this school, with an illustrated lecture on China. As Mr. Arnold has spent most of his life in China as a representative of the American Government he gave us many interesting and surprising facts regarding the size, people and customs of that little known country. Mr. Arnold told us that there is a large field in China for all kinds of engineers, doctors, lawyers, and in fact nearly every kind of profession. Probably the most interesting of all entertainments was the recent Lyceum number, Mr. Bush, the magician. Besides being very interesting with his numerous tricks he also worked in a talk on the posions derived from tobacco and the injurious habits of young men of America which they get into by playing that fascinating game of two dice called craps, Mr. Bush also showed us the Hbunko gamesl' that were worked on the suckers in the early days, such as the three shell and ball game. We found out many things of interest during his entertainment. For instance, Mr. Rippey carries a string of hot dogs in his vest pocket. Evidently he gets hungry on the way home and carries them as a reserve. Mr. Kelso, to our astonishment, has something in his head besides chem- istry, and Roy Schaap is certainly some slick fellow when it comes to lifting watches. We didn't know that Hurley was a card shark because we never saw him play very much, but Schaap does those kind of things all the time, so that accounts for how the trick was done. Fred McConnell has some cadet hat. I wonder where he buys them. He will never be very hard up for clothes when he has a hat of that kind. Altogether we have had a very successful year and wish to extend our hearty appreciation and thanks to the members of the faculty who have helped to make this, the last term of the graduating class, so successful.

A gradua- tion dance has been planned for the Senior A class preceded by a short entertainment. JluniurriB A regular meeting of the Junior B class was held at the beginning of this semester for the purpose of electing new officers. Our former president, Cyril Brunschwiler, presided at the meeting and the following were elected: President, Tom Coxg vice-president, Anna Applegateg secretary, Dan Corcorang treasurer, Elinor Brown. A ..-1 HE class of February, '22, is one of the liveliest classes which ever entered the doors of Sacramento High School. From the first of the term to the last day, the class has helped to keep the fires of school spirit burning, by lending untiring efforts to all school activities. At the beginning of the Fall quarter Martin Kilgariff and Donald Dunwoody conceived the idea of having a large rally before the practice football game with Woodland. They went ahead with their plans on their own initiative, until finally their work was noticed by the executive officers of the school. A special rally committee was appointed. The committee was composed of mostly February, '22,s. As all know the Woodland rally was the best rally of the year, and was due to the pep of the February '22,s. On September 18, '19, the election of class officers was held. Thelma Flint was elected presidentg Ogden Bronson, vice-president, Clair DuBois, secretary, and Joe Cummins, treasurer. February, '22, has had a great deal to do with the school sports during the Fall quarter. Many of the football recruits and players were fellows who came from the February '22 division. - February, '22, was represented in the boxing matches held by the cadets, by Ogden Hook, Everet Young and others. Although both fellows mentioned did not come out on top, they accepted their defeat with a spirit, which is'in the heart of every member of the February, ,22,s. The February '22,s expect to keep up the same keen work next semester, and make Sacramento High School the liveliest high school in the state. BEV. JONES. IW , .

At the first meeting of the society, this semester, officers were elected: Jo Henderson, presidentg Arnold Klaus, sec- retary-treasurerg and Scott Polland, representative on the student coun- cil. An amendment to the constitution provided for a vice-president and Leona Latourette was elected to this position. Meetings are held on Monday, at the registration period in the library. During these meetings the members must take part in debates, discuss important topics of the day and have dramatic readings. On Monday, December 8, the questi-on for discussion was, Resolved: That compulsory arbitration should be adopted by the United States to settle all labor disputes. Odgen Hook led the negative side and Edward Matteson the affirmative. A debate was arranged with Napa High School, which holds the championship of the state in debating, unfortunately had to be post- poned indefinitely because of smallpox in that city. The teams to debate against Napa held a practice debate before the assembly and the negative won. Odgen Hook and Lester Schwoerer held negative side and Ruth Dodds and Jo Henderson represented the affirm- ative. Later tryouts were held for a debate with Fresno and J o Hender- son and Lester Schwoerer were picked to go to Fresno, and Brenton Metzler and Edward Matteson to debate Fresno at Sacramento. The topic for debate is, Resolved: That the United States should assume a pro- tectorate over Mexico until that country proves able to manage its own affairs. Since Fresno was unable to debate before the end of the term, another tryout was held to fill the places of Lester Schworer and Edward Matteson, who graduated with the mid-year class. Ogden Hook and Scott Polland were chosen for these places. Our debating society is growing. Next semester we hope for a bigger and better society but this depends upon the students that support it. Pins have been ordered and by the time this article goes to press the members will be wearing them. We need new material for the coming debates and it is up to you to make S. H. S. a first class debating school. ' ' EDWARD MATTESON, '20. C 1-'fi I I ' 1 fi in 8 .X N45 .4 A HE music students of S. H. S. have made a very creditable showing the past six months, and the outlook for the coming season is very promising. The boys and girls glee clubs under the direction of Miss Ellen Hughes, gave their first performance of the year at the Strand Theatre before the Teachers' Institute during October. They were heard in two ensemble numbers with one number given by the boys' club alone. They were highly complimented by the many present. The High School Boys Band also deserves credit for their perform- ance before the same audience. They played several selections. Much praise has been given them this year for the way they have turned out for the various activities of the school. Mr. Lear is the director and thru his efforts has brought forth a band of which the high school can well be proud. On one afternoon Harry McKnight, pianist, was heard before the high school division of the Institute in our own Assembly Hall. Miss Elenor Brown, pianiste, and Miss Mildred Cason, violiniste, also gave an interesting group before the same division. At the final general meet- ing Morel Orman gave a baritone horn solo at the Strand Theatre, and Harry McKnight again appeared. Beside the community singing by the Student Body at the Armis- tise Day Celebration, Morel Orman gave a baritone horn solo. A great deal of credit should be given to the Harmony III Class instructed by Mrs. Hermitage. Mrs. Fred Harvey, of Galt, came to our school a short time ago to sing before the music students, the original manuscripts of the girls in the class. The girls had been given the same poem, rythm and harmonic scheme with which to write their songs, ac- cording to rules they had learned and practiced in the Harmony course. Mrs. Harvey was greatly astonished and pleased with the work done. Members of the Saturday Club and other musicians were present to REVIEW 47 judge the compositions. They found it was a very difficult thing to do, as all the compositions were well done and each showed originality. However, they decided upon two, one for the most finished work and the other for the most originality displayed. These two young composers are: Miss Merle Schneider and Miss Thelma Gale. Sometime in June all the I-Iarmony classes will compete for two prizes to be given for the two best original manuscripts. A new member has been added to the teaching staff of the Music department, Mr. Boyer, who comes twice a week to conduct classes in string and wind instruments. The school board has purchased a new set of traps for the school, also a French horn. Sometime in the Spring the Music department will put on an Indian opera called: The Legend of Naroocheef, It will be the first large production given by this department since the opera Princess Chrysanthemum. The choruses are working at their parts. Miss Hughes has charge of the production, assisted by Miss Jones and Miss Townsend. A new society was formed recently in the high school, which is known as The Music Society. Its ambition is to foster the best in music in connection with high school affairs. From time to time pro- grams will be given by outside artists. The officers elected at the first meeting are: President, Harry McKnight 5 vice-president, Elinor Brown, secretary and treasurer, Laur- ence Farrell, sergeants at arms, Dorothy Hullin and Victor Weeks, rep- resentative to Student Council, Erasmus Spurgeon. A concert was given Friday, December 19, under the auspices of the Music Society. In this, their first of a series of concerts, they launched their campaign. The program was given by five local people. They were: James Woodward King, pianist, Oliver F. Boyer, violinist, accompanied by James H. Hester, Andrew Jovoitch, baritone, with Charley Hornbeck at the piano. The artists were warmly received and it is hoped by all who heard them that the Music Society will have the honor of another concert by these generous friends. Thru the courtesy of Sherman, Clay Sc Co. We were able to secure a Steinway grand piano for this event. f'?m-Q A Ani' ' odd, L. McCracken. Kay, I-I, T H. Rusk, L. Bascom, B. Beach, E.

A r U Q 1.5 ' 1: A lkziifgiilii ' Q '-1 4.4 A Q HE Sacramento Battalion of Cadets had an exceptionally successful semester due mostly to the careful instruction and unceasing efforts of Captain Kellogg. Captain Kellogg recently of the U. S. Artillery has instilled many things of military value that have put punch and pep into the organization. Among new activities that have been taken up are soccer and boxing. Soccer teams have been organized in the morning and afternoon sections and Sergeant Brunschwiler has been elected chairman of athletics. Practice is carried on at McKinley Park outside of the regular drill periods. A boxing exhibition was held during the middle of the semester and a small admission was charged, the proceeds of which will go toward the spring encampment fund. Five snappy three round bouts were refereed by Mr. Dodds of the Y. M. C. A. Pie sales and out door lunches have been another means of making money for the encampment. The cafeteria was closed one noon in order that the cadets might sell their camp cooked codfish, beans, doughnuts, coffee and pies. The battalion took part in the school bonds parade which helped us to win a new high school. The first annual cadet ball was held at the William Land School on the evening of December 19. Cadets from other organizations were invited and the affair was enjoyed by everyone. Full uniform was absolutely insisted upon which made the ball a strictly formal one. The grand march was led by Captain and Mrs. Voss. Other Army officers participated. Every cadet is looking forward to the annual competitive drill at the State Armory which will be held on January 29th. At present the officers are as follows: Major, Raymond Hurley, First Lieutenant and Battalion Adjutant, Earl Kay, First Lieutenant and Battalion Quartermaster, Leslie Mc- Cracken. Captain 16th Company, George Barnes, First Lieutenant, Lloyd Bascom, Second Lieutenant, Merwin Williams. Captain 5th Company, Donald Phipps, First Lieutenant, Meredith Jones, Second Lieutenant, Basil Beach. Commanding 35th Company, First Lieutenant, Harry Rusk, Second Lieutenant, Harry Hecker. Commanding 6th Company, First Lieutenant, Harold Diggles, Second Lieutenant, Charles Wise, Second Lieutenant, Harold Todd. G. L. B. Captain 16th Company. otes This year has been full of good times for all the students in the high school. S8 S? SF S? The Senior A Class gave a party at the Washington School on the evening of October 17, 1919. This was the first dance of the season, and every one had an enjoyable time. Pl? as S? P76 One of the best dances of the season was that given by the mem- bers of the Puritan Club. It was held on the evening of December 26, 1919, at the Tuesday Club House. The party was a great success. due to the extreme efforts of its president, Dorothy Wanzer. The members of the Senior B Class have extended invitations to the members of the graduation class, to be their guests on the evening of January 28, 1920. Frances Miller of the class of 1919 entertained at tea on the afternoon of November 8, 1919. She had as her honor guest, Miss Hill from Mills College. sa ga sv JH 1. . ,r 'xr Constance Mering, another former student of S. H. S., gave a tea to meet Miss Thomas of San Francisco. Miss Thomas and Miss Mering are both students at the University of California. That which came as a big surprise was the marriage of one of our former students, Dorothy Emily Sweeney to George Erving Mc- Cutchen. Miss Sweeney was married on Wednesday, October 1, 1919, high noon, just the immediate families of both being present. Miss McGrew, our class advisor, had the pleasure of spending Christmas at her home in Berkeley. Miss Vera Nicolaus has gone to Washington, D. C., where she is attending National Park Seminary. On October 25, 1919, several maids motored to Stockton, to be present at the Alpha Omega dance. Among them were Thelma McCaf- ferty, Frances Hillman, Muriel Bradford, Eleanor Doherty and Thelma Erauw. On the night of November 13, 1919, a big school dance was held at the William Land School. The dance was held after the big rally. its its Sl: its The Cadets held a formal military ball at the State Armory on the evening of December 19. 1919. Captain and Mrs. Voss led the REVIEW 51 grand march. In order to make it a formal ball all the cadets were in full uniform. S? fl? SS at On November 22, after the Esparto-Sacramento basket-ball game, a dance was given by the school in the Boys' Gym. Miss Nelson and her staff gave the boys a fine supper, which they all appreciated. Miss Fugerson and Miss Guthrie were the chaperones for the evening. On the afternoon of November 1, 1919, Sallie Glide was hostess at tea. Over a hundred guests accepted Miss Glide's hospitality. - -1- I N E 1 ,, I ff L well-van HE X-Ray, which was first issued in the Fall of 1916, has grown in importance, until now it is one of the chief activities of Sacramento High School. At the beginning of this semester, the journalism classes voted to make the X-Ray a weekly paper, and as such it has been successful. Thru the X-Ray practical knowledge of newspaper work is gained. The pupil becomes a trained observer, developes a good memory, and gains self confidence. As a result of their work on the X-Ray, a number of pupils have obtained positions with newspapers on which they have become very successful. The X-Ray is one of the few six column school weeklies, in America, which are supported without ads. It also has a. very large exchange list upon which are papers from all over the United States. HAZEL IRISH. Post Graduates MONG the Post Graduates this year are Harold Smith, Lawrence Smith, Hermann Meyer, Stanton Meyer, Raymond Chappell and Raymond Hurley. These are just the boys and here are the girls: Elizabeth Rutan, Helena Soule, Dorothy Andrews, Alleen Fletcher, Leona Latourrette, Elizabeth Webb. Eula Haile, Esther Siebe, Kathryn Ross, Edna Steppan, Eleanor Travis, Margaret Sullivan and Helen Schardin. Some of us are here for a real purpose, that is, getting recs for 52 REVIEW college, the rest of us feel that the school just canit get along without usg so we are here for another year. We're all trying hard to be as good as we should, but we do make mistakes. For if you notice, we pay no attention to the signal rings for the assembly, but race out madly with the Sophs. We do differ from those dear children in that we sit in the front row downstairs at assemblies and they spread out all over the whole balcony. Of course we're not really a class like the Seniors and Juniors, but we love to think we are. When the other classes were painting their class numbers on the scaling wall, we wanted to, too. But the two Rays would much rather be in their little warm beds and dream about scaling walls and red and yellow paints, so that's why we didn't have to help in taking the numbers off. Well, as I have said, we are just here for another year, so you can- not expect us to have moved mountains. Snapshots of the Peanut Sale gg EANUTS! Peanuts! Right this way! Only 10c! Step forward! Peanuts! Peanuts! The peanut sale was in full swing. A bustling crowd was soon supplied-a crowd that munched as contentedly on its peanuts as a cow on its cud, a crowd in which each unit differed from the others in manner, in appearance, in every respect, a crowd which cast peanut shells about me as rapidly as the clouds pour rain, or as the wind removes the leaves from a dying tree. How many? Yes, 10c. That girl has eaten enough now to make herself ill. And what is this?-why actually a bunch of shrinking lads in the girls, basement, hunting for peanuts. Peanuts? Four? Thank you? I moved outside, in front of the boys' gym. Ah, here comes a. prosperous looking lad. I'll tackle him. Peanuts? You really couldn't eat them! Well, well and that is one of our ex-service boys, too. He must have held the honorable position of head valet to a general to have cultivated such a fastidious taste. Three? Fine! Thank you. That is a real boy. Yes, he is keeping them all himself. Both pockets full! I do like to see boys eat. Aha! Five boys and all without peanuts. Do I dare accost them? They stare at me with an unfathomable look, a look of surprise, of mis- chief, of-I know not what. They are such handsome lads. Ah, here comes a homely boy at last. Peanuts? Yes, thank you. It is odd but true that these handsome boys don't seem to eat peanuts. Perhaps they are afraid of ruining their complexion or maybe they need the money to buy perfume for that sleek and shiny hair they all affect. Just one boy left and even as my stock has disappeared my per- sonal comfort has decreased. The sun is surprisingly warm for this time of year and my hairpins-I can feel them sliding down my back! Won,t someone buy this last bag? Ah a blessing in disguise relieves me of it, but indeed a very substantial blessing, for 'tis not the first bag he has devoured. The sale is over and I must needs betake my weary self to my classes, with my disheveled hair to plague me but a substantial result to comfort me. DOROTHY LEAMON, '20 it lf Lxxuaxrxitiisafv HE early months of nineteen twenty mark the close of an enjoyable, busy and satisfactory year at Harkness. Among the newcomers, Mr. Martin and Miss Brown have been very successfully introduced in the capacity of physical instructors, while Miss Baird in the commercial department and Miss McGraw in general science, have both done excel- lently. Another, but much less popular newcomer is the detention class in Room 2143 but as it has aided the promotion of a great many students who would otherwise have been left, we should be thankful that Mr. Dale takes enough interest in us to inaugurate it. As far as trophies are concerned, we have not tried for any in athletics, although we have won many games, but the toils of our draw- ing class have been rewarded by a glittering multitude of medals, as well as a fine etching of Lincoln. . Robert Stevens has presided with a becoming dignity as president of the student body, Elois Volgalsang has done well as commissioner of entertainment, although her plans for an enjoyable Christmas pro- gram Were set at naught by the smallpox vacationg and last, but not least, Leah Wentworth has made a splendid commissioner of discipline. She and her co-workers, the police, have done well in keeping the more lawless spirits of the school under control fnever a very easy taskj. We have all worked, and played, and made friends with one an- other and our teachers, we have all been scolded and praised and helped by Mr. Dale, and I am sure there are none of us who will not agree that the year has been a happy one, and who would not live it over gladly if opportunity offered. WINIFRED LEITH STUART. Football 'Year at Harkness EVERAL months ago the Harkness School organized a football team. . A week or so later they started the season by being defeated by the Brothers' College team. After another month of practice the Hark- ness boys were nosed out in another game with the College team. But although the Harkness players were defeated in the second game 24 to 6, they showed great improvement over the first play of the season. One Thursday not long ago, the Harkness boys ended a miserable season by again being trampled on. This time the second team from the main high school were the tramplers. They went over the freshmen's line four times. Everyone played his best during the whole season, but the game was against us. So ended a poor football year with the hopes of a better -one next season. The second team of Harkness had a little better season. Their 54 REVIEW only opponents were the Brothers, College boys, who gave the freshmen one defeat and one victory.

T seems such a short time since the opening day of school in August, 1919, but already we can attempt to measure the work done for the half year. We realize it is disastrous to progress to be entirely satisfied with what one accomplishes, but while we know we have missed some opportunities, yet the time has brought advancement and we mean to carry our scholarship drivei' throughout the Spring semester. Our faculty remains the same as last year-teachers we find will- ing to help us and to guide us. Our list of subjects, too, is about the same though a number of us were in hopes of having a chance to begin stenography and typing. ' The student body is larger than it has ever been and we are willing to acknowledge the entering class has both spirit and brains. Already some excellent records have been made. They entered quickly into the spirit of Stanford-the spirit that makes us enjoy our work and fun as a united student body. Student Control Many and varied have been the results of this form of school government, though we have our faculty's word for it when we say that at Stanford it has always worked successfully. It is not considered a joke to be arrested, and the court room is conducted in a business like and dignified manner. Much credit is due this year to the efficient corps of officers in Russel Simons as our genial presidentg Harold Wilson as stern commissioner of discipline with his police, Dorothy Willi, Marie Johnson, Clarence Feine and Harold Remingtong Tom Stoch, our digni- fied and just judge. assisted in meting out suitable punishmelnt by Leahrene Slater and Gordon Stafford.

We try to remember always that while in school, study is our regular 'tbusinessj' but there is time too, for many diversions. Our Commissioner of Entertainment, Adella McCurdy, has been unceasing in her efforts to provide well chosen programs and the pleasure such an- nouncements make, show she has succeeded in giving us the best the school affords. She broke away from the usual music and literary program several weeks ago when all were invited to spend from 2:30 to 5 at McKinley park. VVe had a jolly good time and eats of course. Our last program before the holidays was most enjoyable, for be- sides some good numbers of music and recitations, we had Mr. Williams with us. He gave us a very vivid picture of Xmas across the water and we went home feeling even more gratified and happy that we were in America and would have our Christmas at home. CHOOL spirit and interest this term at the Mary Watson is centered about one object in particular, and that is The Girls' Junior High. The organization of just such high school-a school for girls only- was a pet scheme of the late lamented Commissioner of Education. Ed- ward J. Carraghar, who, with our worthy superintendent Chas. C. Hughes, considered seriously some time back, the advisability of its formation. But to carry the thought into action meant answering in the affirmative the ever present question-Is the time ripe?. Hesitancy marked that answer at the outset, for, such change meant an upsetting of old customs, a reversing, as it were, of familiar conditions-but the thought slumbered not, and with the passing of months, even the years, suddenly came the realization that Sacramento, approaching the ninety thousand mark in population, and in the new order of things, should have its Girls' High School. And so, unostentatiously-helped on perchance, by the lack of accommodations in the main building as well as in its various branches- there came, one eventful September morning, into the beautiful park surrounding the familiar Mary Watson, sixty sweet-faced, gentle girls- The First Class! Thus came into being, The Girls' High. Though scarcely out of its swaddling clothes, like everything Californian, it arises even in infancy, looks comprehensively around, and notes with satisfaction that everything to be found elsewhere in first year high, is here to be had for the asking, its faculty, University graduates, being ever ready to extend the helping hand. Realizing all this and happy in the knowledge, our four months old prodigy, by way of introduction, lifts up her voice, and in no uncertain tones exclaimsz Doan' ye know ye Mary Watson School-Ye Junior High, I mean, She's de cutest, sweetest darlin, found in many a mile, I Ween. Note her manners and her graces when she moves across the flo' 'fJes de same's ef she was dancin' on Tuesday Club ball-room flo'.

There are two reasons for this great accomplishment. First, that the student body was behind us and showed what school spirit really is, and the second was due to the coaching received from Coach Parker, assisted by Mr. T. E. Brooks. It was for these two reasons the gridiron season of 1919 in the Sacramento High School was a success. The word success may be questioned, but when you look back and see what a show- ing the team made, and how it put old S. H. S. on the athletic map, it will be considered a success. We had one of the best football teams that S. H. S. has known. It was made up of quite a few vets from the last two seasons, such as Captain Bob Jensen, 'Pete Read, Dizzie Dalzell, Fat Terry, Pete Da Rosa, Russ Rowland, Blondie Druge and Wallie Breuner. Along with this bunch of battlers, we had a lot of new material, such as Wild Wollopie Tatti, Rube Clarke, Death Valleyi' Merwin and just as bad brother Herb,'i Bo' De Campos, 'ilumboi' Geraty, Manana Tabor, and Malard Sumida. Now why wouldn't we have a wonderful team with a crowd like that? Among these we had two real stars. They all were stars as far as that goes, but these two stood out above the rest. They were Pete Read and Joe Tatti. Much praise could be given to both of them but then it would not be enough. All that I can say is that they were there a million. Well, we opened the season on October 4, with Woodland. It was a good game. Both teams were battling for the first gridiron honors, and when the final whistle blew S. H. S. had proved itself victor of the contest. The score of this game was 12-6. We then played the Preston School of Industry, a practice game on October 14. This game was a great game, but Preston won by one point, the score being 7-6. This did not discourage the team and on the first of November when they met the Chico eleven they murdered them. We don't like to brag, so the least said the better. But when the final whistle blew the score was 105-13. Who's favor? S. H. S.'s of course. The following Saturday we played the University High Sch-ool of Oakland, and this was the climax of our sea- son.. We defeated them after a hard fought game. The team made a great showing in that game and looked like a million dollars. We had the pennant of the league flying from the dome of S. H. S. right there. NV e played Stockton the next Saturday, November 15 and took the game with ease by a score of 27-6. But the following Saturday, Nov. 22, everything was all wrong. We played from this time on in hard luck. We played a return game with Stockton, and at the very beginning of the game old Brother Gloom was there. There was an accident, and when everything cleared we were short our best lineman. Ed Dalzell was out of the game for the rest of the season with a broken ankle. After playing against other odds we lost to a score of 8-3. Thanksgiving was approaching and so was our championship REVIEW Campos. Longshore fMgr.J, H. Merwin, VV.

But one afternoon, Brother Gloom again happened to stroll over to the field and another accident resulted, Joe Tatti sprained his ankle. For this reason he did not play against Woodland. This accident weakened the backfield. The game was the game of games. Both teams fought for the Championship of the Superior California Gridiron Honors. The Wood- landers had some sign of good luck and won. The score was 3-0. We lost the championship by a field goal but not by a touchdown. The end of our season was short and sweet. But the team S. H. S. will have next year will prove that it is made of good stuff, and all other high schools should beware of S. H. S. If any arguments arise over this statement, here is proof. Some of the vets who will appear on the team next season are: Tatti, Da Rosa, Breuner, Rowland, De Campos, Clarke, Geraty, Tabor, Clayton, Tackney and Sumida. With this gang as the foundation, and some of the new material that will be out next season, football will have another great year. So here's wishing the team the best of luck next season. JAMES LONGSHORE, Football Manager '20. Bias l ull all - I LL SIGNS point to an exceptionally successful season for the basket shooters of the local high. In addition to the many games sched- uled with out of town quintets the team devoted two evenings each week to signal practice and team work. At this writing the team has played 10 games, winning 7 and losing 3. In the games played the Sacramento High scored a total of 263 points to their opponents' 210. Vacaville was the first team to hang a defeat on the home players by a margin of 5 points. This defeat merely served to arouse the fight- ing spirit of the locals, and they settled down to a two weeks period of strenuous training and practice. At Sutter City on October 31st the Sacramento boys played their best game. The game was filled with brilliant plays on the part of both teams, and the result was in question up to the last moment of play. With but two minutes to go and the score tied 22-22, Mugford, playing center for Sacramento, made a lightning pass to one of the forwards, and a long shot into the basket gave the home team the necessary two points for a victory. Sacrament-o lost to Auburn on November 14th and won against the same team December 5th, This was Auburn's first defeat of the season, and showed the improvement in the team work of the locals after a month's interval. Esparto met with two defeats at the hands of the home quintet. REVIEW 63 In the second contest all of the twelve aspirants to a berth on the regular team were given a chance to show their wares. It was at this period that Coach Parker, the football season having ended, took charge. December 19th found the locals battling the miners at Grass Valley, and the following day at Nevada City. The Sacramentans were victorious in both contests. After a two weeks, vacation in a return game with Dixon the home team won by a margin of 7 points. The Dixon quintet heads first place in their league, and it depends upon the outcome of the Woodland- Sacramento game as to who will meet Dixon in the finals for the cham- pionship of the interscholastic league. January 23, 1920, is the date set for the first contest in the big league. Sacramento wil-l play Woodland at Sacrament-o on this date, and a return match at Woodland on February 6, 1920. If neither team wins both games a third game will be necessary to be played on neutral grounds. . The home team line-up is as follows: Elwood Schmitt, Billy Lack and Ned Kay, forwards, Roy Mugford, centerg Addison Read, Maynard Harms, Cyril Brunschwiler, Odgen Bronson and Donald Shaul, guards. After January 30, 1920, Captain Addison Read and Manager Ned Kay, because of graduation, will not be eligible to play in the remaining league games. The team has made a fine showing to date, and gives promise of a strong finish. NED KAY, '20, Basket-Ball Manager Season of 1919-20. all Putman OR the first time in the history of the high school the baseball team has played winter ball. It proved successful. The team played three games, but they got good practice for spring. The first game was at Courtland against Courtland High. We defeated them by a score of 10 to 5. For our second game we again played Courtland, this game upon our own diamond, and defeated them by a score of 6 to 4. In our third and last game we played Winters High School and defeated them 22 to 0. The game was called at the end of the fifth inning because our team was getting tired of running around the bases. This was the last game played although we tried to get a game with Auburn but were unsuccessful. The lineup of the team was as followis: Read, cg Grimshaw, pg Cutting, 1bg Sims, 2bg Westlake ss, J.

Was started several Weeks ago with the election of Elliott Tabor and John 0,Brien as Captain and Manager of the squad. Seventy aspirants for track honors reported at the first meeting, and a large number of these are training on the cinder track at Carraghar Field, McKinley Park, and on the cylindrical track at the Y. M. C. A. O'Brien and Tabor are preparing the candi- dates for the Northern Division meet of the California Inter-Scholastic Federation in April. With several veterans of last season's team as a basis for a strong track combination, and unlimited promising material among the recruits S. H. S. has prospects for a fast cinder squad that will equal the show- ing made this season by the football eleven. Jack Blemer, Jack Stocker, and Bob Jensen are numbered among the veterans who have reported. Blemer is training for the 220, Stocker will again try for the dashes, and Jensen will heave the shot. Among the recruits, Sheldon Rainey is stepping off the 100-yard dash with the speed of a veteran. Tabor and O'Brien declare that the squad will receive their undi- vided and conscientious Work. Their ambition is to place a team in the State Championship meet at Pasadena that will finish well up among the leaders. Mr. Painter will coach the runners in order to allow Coach Clarence Parker time to supervise the basket-ball and baseball teams. If the student body displays as much spirit this spring as it did during the football season, and supports the track team, there is no reason in the world why Sacramento should not break many records in the C.

The brain becomes clogged with know- ledge causing the head to become top-heavy. This and sleepiness are its symptoms. The disease is at its worst just before vacations. If the patient were required to attend school just one more day than the sched- uled time he would never come out alive but somehow this has never been necessary and the death rate is kept extremely low. One of the peculiarities of this disease is that it is not catching and therefore we are not quarantined but in spite of this fact everybody usually has it about the same time. Another thing, no doctor is neces- sary and this makes the disease really cheap and within everyone's means. The only remedy known is a vacation. Of course different people have different ways of spending the vacation after they finally get it. The T 85 D will satisfy many while some are satisfied with a good book. If this medicine is given continuously for a week or so mental indigestion will be entirely cured. HELEN OMSBEE. Basketball The members of the local basket-ball team have nothing but praise for the treatment accorded them while playing in out of town localities. Every where they were given a most cordial reception, and an even break by the officiating umpires and referees. The team is particularly grateful for courtesies extended them by the Student Bodies of Esparto, Auburn, Dixon, Vacaville, Grass Valley, Nevada City, and Sutter City.

The loyal co-operation of the Sacramento High School Student Body wxas a prime factor in the local team's success. NED KAY, '20, - .. REVIEW REVIEW Can You Answer?
