THE BELL The uest Q By HENRX' MEADE BLAND Love traveled far and out of breath, Swift as the summer wind, Far from the precincts of sad Death, And she was fair and kind. She ran afar, she journeyed fast, From morn to dewy even, -- To finish swiftly her sweet quest, As one who seeks a heaven. Singing, she traveled west, far west, Yearning for cool winds blowing, As one who knew she would be blest, Rare words she came a-sowing. And then she paused, and cast an eye, And scanned the white Sierra, She passed with eager look and cry, Those peaks of pure Carrara. She saw great rivers silvering down Through tule wildernesses. She saw new mountains like a crown The moon looks on and kisses. She swept a-cross the glowing light, Unto the seas great wonder, She watched the wild waves surging bright, In rolling whirl and thunder. From redwood green and Shasta snow To sandy Colorado She threw an eager eye, and, lo, She found the Eldorado! She haunted many a flowered vale, VVith friendly rivers flowingg She knew the winds that never failg From Eden they were blowing. She sensed deep down within the earth, A treasure not yet dreamed of: For here she found a marvel worth More than man yet sehemed of. And we who dwell in this demesne, And work and worship ever,- Are resting in her deep serene, And we are hers forever. THE BELL THE BELL THE BELL THE-BELL ,fzfffvsaili - N -.

There have been several innovations made this year, and the Editor hopes that they will be received with due consideration as to their merits, and that those who are inclined to criticize will kindly try to realize how great is the task placed in the hands of cub editors. The many hours spent on this publication have indeed been a pleasure to the Editor, and she wishes to make grateful acknowledge- ment of the wonderful co-operation and help received from the mem- bers of the staff and the many other students who directly or indirectly have given their time to THE BELL. Sincere thanks are extended to Miss Simpson and the art classes in appreciation of their eiforts, and to Miss Acworth, Mr. Gleason, and Miss Pitcher, who have wisely advised the Editor and kindly given of their valuable time toward the success of this Annual.

The Class of 1926 is not unlike those that have gone before. It takes out of our midst, some of our best and most promising students and leaders. Its members are looking forward to the early fulfillment of their ambitions. Some will attend college, some will enter business, and others will enter into other vocations. All, however, are hoping and expecting that success will be theirs. The faculty and remaining students of San Jose High School join with you, who are graduating from our institution, in hoping that your fondest wishes will all become realities. However, you ll1L1St bear in mind, that nothing worth while will be yours with- out effort. As you have had to put forth great effort to gain success in the past, so will you be obliged to make use of the same characteristic to accomplish your ambitions in the future. In all your future activities, remember that honesty, integrity, and steadfastness to the right are ot' far greater and more lasting value than mere riches. Your community and your state have given you much in providing for your education, they have a right to demand of you now, an effective and enthusiastic performance of the duties of citizenship. If, from your high school life, you have developed these ideals of honesty, integ- rity, and true civic leadership, we shall all be proud to point to you as the worthy examples of the pro- duct of American Public Education. Let it not be otherwise. R. B-. LELAND, Principal. 16 THE BELL 'H' ' I III H I mul u In I 1 mn.

In the introduction to some recent verse written in 1917, when the question was facing the world as to who would be the victor in the great war, John Oxcnham asked this question and answered: To the Great Hearts-the Strong VVho will suffer no wrong, And where they find evil redress itf' But long before this poem was ever written, all through the history of the manis achievements, people have had this idea, that it is the Great Hearts who are victorious. However, this vision of victory obtained through effort has had dif- ferent applications with the development of mankind. The Greeks also believed that it was the great hearts and tl1c strong who were to possess the world and lead mankind to victory. One of the Greek heroes was Leonidas, tl1e king of Sparta, who won a spiritual victory for Greece at the time of tl1e Persian invasion. Leonidas died without gaining a material victory. But he stood for what he thought was right, and in defending his country to the last he gained for Greece a national ideal victory, the effect of which has lasted to this day. In the medieval ages, one of the great hearts and strong was Robert Bruce, who is known as the liberator of Scotland. After having lost six battles to the powerful English army, he went one day, defeated and alone, to a miserable shack in the country, to rest and to think of giving up the struggle. As he was lying on an old cot looking upward at, the dusty cob-webbed rafters, he saw a spider hanging at the end of its own thread, endeavoring to swing itself from one beam to another. He watched it as it tried six times unsuccessfully, but on the seventh swing the insect succeeded in fastening its 'thread to the beam. As he lay on the cot, wondering at the perseverance of the little creature, Bruce sud- denly thought that he too had tried six times, and six times he too had been unsuccessful. At this point we can imagine him jumping from the cot, girding on his sword, striding from the old shack, and untying his horse, which was grazing near by. History tells us that he mounted, sped to the place where he had left his troops, rallied his forces and instilled into his soldiers a renewed love of country by which they were able to defeat the well-organized English army and gain for their coun- THE BELL ' 1nuAnnnnnmmmnuunnum n I nunnnunmnmumnnnumnununnunmnuuuun nun umuun nmunuu try the right to be an independent state and to be governed by their own laws. , Years later in America another great heart was found in the person of Paul Revere, whose name has been among those connected with the American ideal ol' patriotism, and with whose story we are all familiar. Longfellow tells us: He said to his friend, 'If the British march By land or sea from the 'town to-night, Hang a lantern aloft in the helfry areh Of the North Church tower as a signal light! One, if by land, and two, if by sea, And I on the opposite shore will be Ready to ride and spread the alarm y, Through every Middlesex village and farm, For the country folk to be up tlllfl to arm! HA hurry of hoofs in a village street, A shape in the moonlight, a bulk in the dark, And beneath, from the pebbles, in passing, a spark Struck out by a steed flying fearless and fleet: That was all! And yet, through the gloom and the light The fate of a nation was 1'idi11g that nightg And the spark struck out by that steed, in his flight, Kindled the land into flame with its heat. 9 in So through the night rode Paul Revere, And so through night went his ery of alarm To every Middlesex village and farm,- A ery of deiianee and not of fear, A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door And a word that shall echo forevermore. For, borne on the night-wind of the Past, Through all our history, to the last, I11 the hour of darkness and peril and need, The people will waken and listen to hear The hurrying l100l.-l3G2llS ot' that steed, And the midnight message of Paul Revere. 9 That midnight message, a call to arms, is, as Longfellow says, as necessary forevermore as in 1775. The eall to arms today is as strong, or perhaps even stronger, than it was then, because today one ot' the biggest eonquests is that which has to be won over the ease offered by our inod- ern civilization, and that eonquest is not an easy one. The young gen- eration does not believe that these great hearts and strong of the past 18 THE' BELL mnununmnnlnnnxuuununnunannunnnnunannunnunnunnunnunnnunuunnuuuannlnunnlnuununnunnuanannnuunnnunnnnnnn have struggled in vain, but that they have set an example which We should strive to follow. And we agree with John Oxenhani in his answer to the question, 'To Whom shall the World henceforth belong, when he replies, point- ing out the work to be done by the youth of today, TO WHOM SHALL THE XVORLD HENCEFORTH BELONG? To whom shall the world henceforth belong, And who shall go up and possess it? To the Great-Hearts-the Strong lVho will sutiier no wrong, And where they find evil redress it. To the men of Bold Light ' Wliose souls seized of Light, Found a work to be done and have done it. To the Valiant who fought For a soul-lifting thought, Saw the iight to be won and have won it. To the Men of Great Mind Set on lifting their kind, NVho, regardless of danger, will do it. To the Men of Good-will, lVho would cure all Life's ills, And whose passion for peace will ensue it. To the men of Good Fame VVho everything claim- This world and the ncxtAin their Masterts great name,- To these shall the world henceforth belong, And they shall go up and possess itg Overniuch, o'erlong, has the World suffered Wrong, YVC are here by God's help to redress it.

Energetic and Well chosen committees carried out the Class' ideas very thoroughly. Elgie Ogier and Ben Peckham won the prizes for the best baby pictures. The Senior ball was the culmination of the seniors' triumphs throughout high school. It was the outstanding social event of the year and will be remembered for its artistic decorations, excellent music, and clever favors.

HUNTER HAT we are to be we are now becoming. Four years ago the members of this class appeared upon the platform at commence- ment exercises of primary schools. At that time we finished one lap of the long journey of preparation and began another. Again the time of graduation rolls around, and we find ourselves on the threshold of the countless occasions and circumstances which life might bring to us. How we meet those circumstances and occasions will depend upon the preparation we have made up to this time. We Fin- ish to Begin? We have finished preparation for today and begin prep- aration for tomorrow. The factors in this preparation are three-fold: the home, the school, and the conimunity. The home lays the founda- tion for moral character, the school for intellectual development, the community for social contacts. Wlizlt we get from these three sources coupled with our own wills for the motive force makes us what we are to be. Society is assuming mo1'e and more responsibility for the training of the youth, though the home still lays the foundation for moral char- acter. It is here that habit formation begins, that an ethical standard is established, that high ideals are fostered. The way in which a task is approached depends upon strength of character. Ot' course one llll1Sl know how, but the ability to learn how reverts back to the habits of industry and clear thinking that one must form. In order to be able to adopt oneself to any business of life it is necessary to have learned some fairly strong lessons in moderation and perseverance and self control. These lessons are first learned in the home, for it is only by constant contact with strong influences in the right directions that such habits or qualities of character are acquired. Varied interests engage the student, and only the one with force of character will study first and play in the idle moments. This strength must be instilled. The home also exemplifies the ethical standards that one holds in the future. Our very earliest training establishes these standardsg and if they are high, we are sure to have high ideals. Though onels standards depend largely on the home, nevertheless it lies in one's own power to make those standards as high or as low as one desires, making oneself the test of their value. Shakespeare says, This above all: to thine own self be true, and it will follow as the night the day thou canst not then be false to any manf' 28 THE BELL Tl1e school provides us with the tools for intellectual progress. We study English to gain facility in its use, we study foreign languages in order to understand other nationalities-know their history, their cus- toms and traditions, their art, and their literature-for such knowledge and understanding lead to toleranceg we study the sciences that we may understand the phenomena of nature, we study history that we may understand the ideas and philosophy a11d traditions that have been handed down to us through the agesg we study mathematics in order to train our minds to orderliness and system. The conclusion ot' this then is that we prepare ourselves in school to begin the study- ing which must never cease if we are to finish what we have begun, and that the purpose of school is to teach us how to study, what to study, and to put into our hands the necessary prerequisites of study. Entering school enlarges our sphere. Here we are thrown into the society of' our peers, where home-taught principles must he put into practice. If these principles have been based on high ideals, the adjust- ment is easyg it' not, the adjustment comes with sad experience. In order that people might get along together, it is necessary to have lawsg but primarily, before the laws of' a government, come the laws of altru- ism and of sell' control. Obedience to law is necessary to the p1'cserva- tion ot' society. NVe must learn early in life what VVinthrop has so admirably stated, There is a twofold liberty, natural, and civil or fed- eral. The first is common to man with the beasts and other crea- tures, . . . it is a liberty to evil as well as to good .... The other kind ol' liberty I call civil or federal .... This liberty is the proper end and object of authority and can not subsist without it, and it is a liberty to that o11ly which is good, just, and honcstf, XVe have finished one stage ol' this preparation. Past experiences are already shaping our futures. VVhen the potter prepares to fashion a beautiful piece of pottery, he first places a shapeless mass of plastic clay on the wheel. Then, as his idea grows, he gradually works the clay into a convenient shape for fashioning. He has prepared the clay. but as yet he has not begun to mold its shape. Perhaps he is still grop- ing for a concrete idea. He begins to turn the wheel, and as the wheel turns faster and faster, and his deft fingers work on the clay, the mass takes shape and finally stands out a finished product. Thus it iskwith oneis own life, at first only a shapeless mass of plastic clay and our own will for the potter. Through the 'preparation we have just finished we have worked our lives into convenient shape for moulding what we are to be. YVe must now begin to turn the wheel and gradually mould our lives to fit in with the plan of things. These exercises mark the beginning of a great change in the lives of each one of us. Some of us will go to college, others will enter the life of the economic world immediately. But whatever we do, where- ever we go, we must keep' on growing, gaining a wider culture, a THE BELL 29 stronger character. Emerson said, The force of character. is cumula- tive. All the foregone days of virtue Work their health into this. VVhat makes the majesty of the heroes of the Senate and the field, which so fills our imagination? The consciousness of a train of great days and victories behind? VVhat we are when we come to the evening oi' our lives will be the result of all we have done up to this time and of what We are about to do. Taking life as a Whole it seems evident that we must continually finish only to begin, that We can never finish absolutely but niust eon- tinue to grow. A modern poet expresses this thought in his Prayer: zz From sleek C'OIlfI'I'lfI1ll?Ilf keep me free,--m From COIIl1JI'0IllfSC' and things half done, Keep me, with stern and stublvorn pride,- And wlmn, ai lust, the fight is IUOII, Gnd, keep me still llI1SClfl'.9fil?fl.n 30 THE BELL H.

Treasurer ITH the graduation of the class of June, 1926, San Jose High School has lost many of its most prominent members in dramatics, some of its best athletes, five of thc seven members of the debate team which has twice in succession won the championship of the Peninsula Debating League, and many other students who have taken a prominent part in school activities. Like its predecessors this class also has liked to have its fun, and on the afternoon of Friday, May 14, rosy-checked little girls with dolls and short dresses could be seen sporting with their small boy friends who were garbed in little Lord Fauntleroy suits and various other types of small boys' suits. It is highly probable that Kewpie Ralston will not soon be forgotten by those who viewed his sweet and innocent face and his appropriate apparel on that memorable occasion. After the baby pictures had been thrown on the screen and the prizes awarded, the Seniors wended their way to the gymnasium where they frolicked to the latest tunes until five o'clock, when their chaperones insisted that it was time for all children to be at home and in bed. A more dignified diversion was the Senior ball, which was a very picturesque affair. Commencement was held the second week in June, and afterwards the Senior' picnic.

Then proceed with your impregnable plans for this room, and then we'll sro and pick out my hunting outfitf' Fillet Illl make it as concise as possible. First, one day when I was looking for an apartment, a year ago. I noticed that this building was being remodeled from an old mansion to a fashionable apartment house. Its location was excellent, so I inves- tigated the whole building and soon came to the conclusion that it was perfect in every detail for my purposes. XVhat purposes ? 'Sl wanted an apartment in a building where I could have a secret room to work in. The attic in this building was not to be used, so I chose it as an excellent location and had this room built. By a carpenter? Of course. I Ah, a weak point. A Not so quickg only the one man knows the room is here, and he doesn't know for whom he was working or of any entrance into the room except through the attic itself. He was brought to this building at night by an odd route, and the 'chances are he would not even recog- nize it. VVell-. But wail! Wlltlf if some one should wish to use this attic, and come up? He would surely see the roomf' He would see absolutely nothing to arouse his suspicions unless a tape measure were used and the length of the building and attic were compared. '5VVl1y ? 1 Because I feared such a thing might happen, and built a partition all the way across this end of the attic a few feet from the real wall. This room is in one end of that space ? Yes, and it will be practically impossible for any one to locate it, as this partition looks exactly like the real wall. An excellent idea V' W Thanks, Now for the story of that secret passagef' VVarner con- tinued, as he pointed to one corner where a large sized ventilation pipe entered the room.ybarely visible for a few inches above the tloor. A means of getting to this room secretly and quietly worried me greatly, and for many days I was at loss for an idea. The apartment house was nearly finished so I leased the apartment beneath my den and set to work thinking once more. I measured my den, my apartment, and the '17 us su THE BELL 41 innsunnnvnnnnunnnunnnn 1 I unuuu. building one day, and discovered that the kitchenette of my apartment was directly below my den. 'tThat ended all your troubles, didn't it? Ended all my troubles? Imbecile, that only started them, returned VVarner in a hard voice, and then as if to lessen the harshness of his words, he added the low, friendly laugh that had made him so popular a companion to Don and their brothers in a wealthy bachelor's club. Pardon me. After seeing and using that means of passage I con- cluded that King Solomon and the Genii of Aladdin's lamp were your colleagues in the workf' Don tactfully apologized with a smile. I only wish they had been, for I lost in weight amazingly from the time I built the room and leased the apartment till I discovered that plan. l had racked my brain for days, and had almost given up trying to make it unnoticeable to the eye-Don, I had almost decided to cut a trap door in the ceiling of the kitchenette or cut a door through the wall in the attice, but Hnally I stumbled on that idea of running an air vent of large size pipe from above my gas 1'ange in the kitchenette directly into this room. I-low did you ever think of that?,' 'LI didn't think of it. I stumbled on it one m.orning about 5 a. m. in a small restaurant. As I said, I had racked my brain for nearly a week. and after no results I finally gave up i11 despair and attended a dance at Johnnie Dalton's place on the Sound-. and believe me it was some party! XVell-when I was going home I reached the important deci- sion that unless I had a cup of coffee my life and new speedster were in danger of being wreckedf, 5'Not an unusual situation, was it? . Enough After I had strengthened my constitution with four cups, I began to attempt to inspect this restaurant that fate had guided me to. It was one of these small tlclamburger Jack' places that are open the year ,round and serve vile coffee in cups half an inch thick, so my eyes found little of interest. Suddenly I jerked .myself to a state of saneness- there, within five feet of me was the answer to my prayers for an idea for a secret entrance to my den. You see, as the cooking ranges were large, they had to have some way of carrying off the fumes from the gas and cookingg so they had built a large sheet-lnetal vent over each range. After I had paid my check I inspected these vents, and Don, I saw that if the pipe which carried off these fumes was of rectangular pipe and a few sizes larger. it would be possible for a man to pass through it! YVarner spoke in a low, vibrant voice that made Hines involuntarily lean forward and grow tense. Three weks later this apartment house rang with merriment at my expense. Through some means it had become known that I, a con- firmed bachelor of twenty-six, had turned' towards matrimony, and, as a result, had completely refurnished my apartlnent and installed many conveniences for my future wife. It soon became known that a few days before the wedding she had 'thrown me over,. This was a myth ? Of course-, and a very convenient one too, for those conveni- ences ineluded a vent over the range? Why all the precaution? 42 THE BELL 'tVVhat reason l1ad I to install a vent in a kitchenette I had never used? I have had no servants since I spent the last of the ten thousand Dad left me. MI find one flaw. Wlio installed that vent? HI had the vent built at a sheet-metal shop, and I installed it my- self in a disguise? Perhaps you may win, Don mused. Come, let us return to my apa1'tme11t where you can think more easilyf, VVarner said with a smile, as he rose and walked to the corner where the vent pipe entered and ended a few inches above the floor. Follow my actions closelyg going down is not as easy as coming up, he warned Don as he lifted a spring door covering the end of the pipe. Holding the door with one hand he sat down on the floor, put his legs down the pipe. and slowly lowered himself till his feet touched the gas range some six feet below. A few seconds later the door snapped shut and Don was alone. A cigarette ?', VVarner offered a few minutes later when they had retired to his luxurious library after removing all tell-tale footprints f1'0lIlGtlIC top of the range. Thanks, yes. Now, Don, I have two more proofs of my safety. First, as an emergency exit to my den in case it should ever be impossible for me to leave through the kitchenette, I had a special weather cap built. I placed it where the pipe would come through the roof if it were con- tinued, and to the eye it is just a cap for my vent pipe which keeps the rain from going down the pipeg but, in reality. it is a man-hole with a lock on the bottom. In case it ever becomes necessary for me to leave by some other route, I can unlock it, pull myself through to the roof, jump from this roof to that ot' the movie house in back-it is only a few feetfclimb down the fire escape, and appear on the next street over as a patron of the theatre who has used an emergency exit in- stead of the main onef, Very, very clever. i'Second, in case someone should trace some bogus fifty and hun- dred dollar bills to me. I could prove that I drew ten thousand dollars from my bank some ten months ago, and would swear that what they had traced to me was part of that ten thousand. A feeling of uneasiness overtaketh mej' Don stated dolefully to the tune of YVarneris merry laughg then, with a growing gleam in his eye, sWVarner, there is one serious defect in your plansf, Name itf' NVait and see. 'lr xi 1' 'A' 'A' if lt was 1 a. m. when VVarner returned from the theatre that evening. and it was with a sigh that he unlocked his apartment and 1'eached for the light switch. Stand still! The command was given in an imperative manner that made Vilarner involuntarily jump. Suddenly he fell senselessg his last reflection was something shining near him.

Don, I eanlt figure out yet how the police found my den, or how you were powerful enough to get me pardoned after three months in prison. VVarner,s voice was downeast and lacked its usual lit'e.

I-IE little city of Chin-Knoeng lies basking in the sun just at the foot ol' the Himalayas. Most-of its roofs are tiled red and shiny. but some ot' the poorer sections have roofs which are only thatched with rice-straw. Chin Knoeng has long been noted for its bcautyg but tourists never visit the poorer section, for its streets are narrow and dark, its houses seem to have been built of paper and pasted together by some playful Chinese child who had nothing else to do. Altogether it is a dreary-looking place, and guides do not often lead one through it because life is cheap in Chin-Knoeng, and in the poor section, which presents an exterior that is certainly to be avoided, strange things have happened. Yet, even in this poor section with its crazily constructed houses, love and tragedy stalk the crooked streets. In a small house on one of the most crooked of the streets once lived a little dancer by the name of Pi-Lar. Pi-Lar's mother had long been dead, and the father was very old and usually sat in the sun smoking a sweet-scented tobacco. But Pi-Lar was happy even though the house was on a crooked street, and people seldom passed that way, for by her dancing she managed to earn a living, and behind her house there was-what counted more in Pi-Larls mindva tiny little Chinese garden blossoming with lotus and jasmine. ln a Slllllll oval pool floated sweet pond lilies, some black, and some white. Near their roots lazy goldfish swam or slept, and at one end ot' the pool was a tiny mound of rocks on which little green turtles basked when the sun shone wa rnily. Now, Shan was a prince, a person most sacred and beloved by the High Priest, Lat, of the great temple Teal. And Shan loved Pi-Larg but Pi-Lar laughed, and instead of marrying Shan and having his presents showered about her, she preferred to dance at night in the Cafe Chinele for the rich tourists who gave her gold and praised her. Shan was often seen sitting at one of the little .lacquered tables watching her as her dainty feet tinkled across the shiny tloorg and no doubt his per- fumed cigarette smoke tloated all around him making pictures ot' castles with huge stone dragons at the ga tes and seven-headed cobras carved on the walls ot' sandal wood and mahogany. There he perhaps dreamed that he lived with Pi-Lar. In the garden he saw a scented fountain play, lime trees rear their headsg he heard silver-throated nightingales sing the year around just because Pi-Lar was his and was beautiful, saw white doves rustle their wings and heard them coo to one another, saw in the river the slender-legged black cranes stalkg and in the dist- ance, near the river Talle, he could hear the temple bells ol' Othir chime golden-toned, Pi-Lar, Pi-Lar, Pi-Lar!', But of what use was it that the cigarette smoke curled thus around and about him? For after all, cigarette slnoke vanishes rapidly and the dreamer but longs the more. And so it was with Shan .... But one night, while Pi-Lar was dancing, and Shan, a prince and lll0Sl beloved by Lat, watched on, with longing in his heart and music 48 THE BELL made by the tinkly feet of Pi-Lar in his ears, and sipped cold tea from fragile cups, one entered the doors of the Cafe Chinele, came and seated himself where he could always watch Pi-Lar. And he came the next night, and the night after that,-and then every night. Pi-Lar seemed not to notice and danced ong but Shan, prince and most sacred, saw, and a burning flame of greenish-red seemed to blaze within him. And one night he smoked no cigarettes, which was a bad sign, and the three old Chinese at the next table playing Ma-Lung nodded and talked in whispers among themselves. And then it happenedg but not as Shan decreed it, or Pi-Lar, or the others. The fragile cup in Shan's hand was crushed in bits, such was his anger,-his jealousy. And one piece tlew and struck the one whose hair was gold, on the forehead leaving a tiny gash of red. Wlien it fell and landed 011 the table before him, there it glowered because the head of a dragon was painted upon it so that it glared with two big eyes. At the sound of the breaking porcelain Pi-Lar turned, and before Shan could reach the one who watched the dragonis head or he reach Shan, she was between them. 'SGOV' was all she said to the stranger. To Shan she said nothing, merely stared at him. And one left who held his white calnbric handkerchief to his head where the bit of broken cup had hit him. And soon after Pi-Lar left, and Shan was alone, play- ing with the bit ot' porcelain with the dragonts head upon it, and his cigarette smoke curled and curled about him. And soon he, too, left. And the three old Chinese at another table still played Ma-Lung and nodded their heads to one another. As Pi-Lar left the side door that night she passed the little hunch- back, Kal, whom she had found in the mud of a gutter, kicked there just because he was crippled and because some one must kick something. Pi-Lar had taken him to her home and cared for him. Because of this, in Kal's eyes, Pi-Lar seemed as the Goddess of the Morng seemed as the cool river, Lur, where the priests of Teal prayed the gods to bless the waters that they might heal, seemed to be the little bells of Teal them- selves which laughed and talked to him when he burned punks to the great Buddhag seemed as the golden moon which floated on summer nights over the great mountain. Joern. Thus did Kal worship and love Pi-Lar because she had showed him tenderness and a mother's love and pity for a frightened, wounded child, because her voice was like the lily pond, Pcon, blessed in its coolness and quenching to his thirst for human sympathy. So passing Kal, who worshiped her, Pi-Lar walked hur- riedly toward her little house on the crooked narrow street. And then as she passed the Pillar of the Lion, one came t'orth from the darkness and the restless shadows who was dressed in white and took off his white hat as he approached her, but across his forehead was a line of red. And Pi-Lar gasped and turned to flee like a startled lin- net, for she recognized the stranger. But he addressed herg told her that he thought her most beautifulg told her that he would give her his heartg told her that he would love her for ever and ever. And Pi-Lar paused to listen, for 110110 other's voice had ever sounded so soothing to her, and none other had ever before offered her his heart, but had always asked just for bers. And Pi-Lar was carried away with his words, and she listenedg and then, with a little laugh she turned and hurried away, for she wished to be alone and think of what he had said. But behind her she had dropped her little ivory fan with the two THE BELL 49 dancers graven upon itg and behind her she had left her heart. And there in the darkness, looking after her as she fled, stood the other, whose hair was gold, until with a shrug he stooped, picked up the fan, turned, and went his way. And there in the darkness, behind the Pillar of the Lion stood one whose cigarette glowed like a fire.-tlyis eye in the darkness, and whose cigarette smoke made strange clouds and shapes whose meaning was known only to the maker himself .... And Pi-Lar next day spoke to her old father who was sitting in the sun smoking his tobaccog and she told of the love that had been born within her. And his voice, my father, was like that of the great bell's, Baalg and as he spoke---oh, my father, I dreamed of a -garden wherein black peacoeks with golden crests looked at one from jet-black eyesg and I thought that nearby grew a mulberry tree upon which silk-worms spun their soft eocoons in multicolored shapesg and under it there was a table of ebony, my father, inlaid with sandal wood and pearl, and on it was placed a vase of white jade and silver. I seemed to see, my dear father. because his words were so beautiful, pink lilies and orange- hearted black poppies blowing in a mellow breezeg butterflies and dra- gontlies flew and hummcd all about them: and, dear father, the scent of a thousand lotus blossoms and musk plants perfumed the air: and tall gold-leafed kaolin vases stood about with great blossomed blooms of white chrysanthemums in tllClll,1 and on the fine grass were mats of silken jute spread so that my feet would not become damp with the dew. But oh, my father, these pictures faded and a feeling, an emotion of great sadness took its place, for---my father, oh, my father, I am Kal- muck, he is white,--Caucasian. Dear father my heart told me. my soul whispered softly and said that life with him could never be. And now, my father, my heart seems cold and lonelyg my eyes would cry but can- notg my feet are heavy and do not desire to dance as once they did. Oh, my fa ther--,U and she laid her black head upon her father's knee while he stroked it and smoked his sweet-flavored tobacco. And the lit- tle fir tree by the garden wall seemed more crooked and bent than be- foreg and the narcissus bending over the pool seemed palerg the mag- nolia tree's blossoms closed tighter still, and the white sparrow on the wall chirped no moreg even the little jeweled cobra beneath the waving blue grasses was silent .... , Yet Pi-liar danced that night as usualg but the one who dressed in white was not there, neither was the prince Shan. beloved of the High Priest, Lat. And when Pi-Lar went out the side door, the little hunch- back, Kal, clutched her shawl of yellow silk which hid her dancing cos- tume of beads and silver cloth and flame-colored satin. ' Pi-Lar, goddess of my life, the prince Shan has lured your loved one to the great temple, Tealg there he will do some harm and evil. Not two hours ago I heard him plotting---!', t'But,-no!! Son of a pig! Pi-Lar grasped the hunchback by the shoulders and held him against the wall. Thou-thou-! Speak, and say that you liett, But Kal only shook his head. - i'Two hours ago I heard him plotting with the High Priest. Lat. Then I was burning a pink joss stick before the great Buddha for my sick mother. From somewhere I heard the voice of the sacred Shan talk to Lat, planning to lure thy own to the temple and there take him by force away, or kill him, perhaps,-I could not hear all that they spake. Not two hours ago I heard thisf' 50 THE BELL But Pi-Lar had gone, and her little feet tapped up the street as they hurried toward the great temple, Teal. She hurried in and went down a winding, narrow corridor that led to beneath the temple. Here were the priests, quarters. All around the hall the doors shone black except one at the far e11d-one of red. But all were now shut, and everything was quiet as though deserted. Pi-Lar hid herself behind a huge screen in one corner. - The silence lasted a long time and was not broken until at last the sound of voices smote upon Pi-Lar's eaigevoiees that rose and fell but always came nearer. And soon they were quite loud, and through the same door that Pi-Lar had come, Lat, the High Priest, came followed by three men who were supporting and dragging along a fourth. And Pi-Lar saw that it was,-he! And then came Shan, smiling blandly. At a word from Lat the three men holding him in white released him, and he reeled as they did so, but steadied himself and looked about him. And Shan spoke to the High Priest, Lat, and they conversed together, while the three others stood silently waiting. And at last Shan motioned toward the door which was of pure red, and Lat nodded. Then Lat motioned to the three men, the silent ones, and they started to drag him, whose head was drooping, away to the red door. But at this moment Pi-Lar pushed aside the screen so that it fell and cracked in twain, and made a noise like the crackle of a lightning flash. '6No, no, you shall not take him there. No, no, anywhere but therein And Pi-Lar knelt and pleaded before Shan and Lat. At the sight of her Shan started and then grasped her by the arm and threw her to the farther wall wherein was the entrance to the tem- ple above. Then he motioned the three Chinese to again take the stran- ger toward the red door. Now, over the heads of those in the priests' hall, there swung a huge lamp of silver suspended from the roof by three silver chains twisted together. Great writhing dragons were carved upon its surface. It burned oil, and every day a priest filled its great round bowl with sacred oil out ot' a green jade vase. It was swinging now over their heads,-swinging quickly, strangely. And lo! A sudden whirring filled the air. A sudden light split the semi-gloom. The huge silver lamp above their heads fell with a crash, the silver cord that held it had broken in two! Flames seemed to spring up and cut a straight line across the hall, leaving Pi-Lar alone by the entrance which led to safety. The rest were trapped on the other side of the billowing flames. And Pi-Lar,-after one glance to the one whose face was pale and who had a tiny red gash upon his forehead,-Pi-Lar turned and rushed from the hall and left all behind her. And the flames drove the others ever back. back to the red door which seemed to grow more brilliant, more fiery as the flames approached. Up the narrow, turning passage, down which she had come, ran Pi-Lar. Behind her, ever growing fainter, she could hear the cries of those who were trapped. Witli a hurried rush she gained the first floor of the temple only to find that the entrance was blocked with flames which had crept rapidly up through some crack in the walls. All around her the white pongee hangings were smoking. All around her lay prayer books, prayer leaves for the dying, for the living, for sick- nessg they had fallen from their burnt strings.. In one corner smoked a huge pot, supported on a serpcnt's head, which steamed with incense THE BELL 51 of sandal wood. There was no escape but up the flight of stairs, huge stone slabs, that led to the great Buddha of Teal in the inner temple. Up these slabs pattered Pi-Lar. Her little slippers scarce could be heard on the stones. Half-way up she paused and looked back. Up the pillar of ebony twirled a bluish-red flame. The white pongee hang- ings painted with scenes of the life of the Buddha were no more. The prayer books were smoking with the heat, and the ebony prayer stools could not be seen for smoke. Half-way up the stone stairs that led into the inner temple stood Pi-Lar. Her little hands of old ivory were pressed against her temples as though in pain. Down at tl1e bottom of the stairs lay her yellow silk shawl with the sacred red dragon painted upon it. And as the fire crept nearer, as the hungry flames came closer, it seemed as though the dragon tried to walk away, it seemed as though his head lifted and his red tongue darted out in defiance at those flames. Half-way up the stone stairs, polished with the millions of pilgrims' feet, stood Pi-Lar, her little dancing costume of flame-colored satin glowing faintly. And the long strings of beads quivered gently against one another. Her headdress of tufts of' plush on long black wires trem- bled slightly. And then she turned and hurried still further up the stairs. Into the inner temple she rushed. Among the teakwood screens and tables she stumbled. Past velvet and silken curtains and draperies she went until she stood before the great Buddha of' Teal. High above her he seemed on his pedestal of' gold. The great pearl in his forehead glowed with celestial fires. His face was serene, powerful in its sublime- ness. I-Iis hands were folded in his lap, he awaited the message brought him. With trembling fingers Pi-Lar lighted a perfumed punk and thrust it in the holder on the altar. And she stood there and prayed. t'Ah, most honorable lord, whose glory lights the sky at morn, forgive thy little slave, Pi-Lar, if' she has committed wrongs. But, great Buddha, his face was strong and godly, his voice was as your voice, his words were of the summer days when blooms the pale moon-flower. Great Lord, orchids bloomed when I thought of himdthe sweetest scents did fill the air, and all life seemed beautiful. Oh, great Father, the black roses nodded their heads and the white swans floated on the lakeletis crest so softly. Great Buddha, this punk I burnfor thee to bless his soul wherever it may beg this punk I burn for the little hunehbaek, Kal, who I leave behind me, that he may someday be a strong mang this punk I burn for my ancient father, oh great Lord g this sweet punk I burn to have your gracious blessings fall upon me that l may be cleansed of all worldly things. Great Buddha, whose heart is as great as the universe, one thing more I ask, let not the flames of the burning fire- Then, with a little sigh, Pi-Lar crumpled up and fell at the foot of the pedestal. An incense pot overturned and lay smoking cloudily. All seemed quiet but for the crackling of the flames as they girded the ancient beams of the temple, on, and up the stone stairs. Then sud- denly-high above--there came a note of fright, a quivering note that cried out for breath, a melodious sound that grew in volume but soon swelled to a discordant jangle of many voices. The tiny silver bells high up in the inner 'temple were crying out in their terror of the flames. And then-a great Voice was added to their crying, a voice that 52 THE BELL boomed and at last screamed. The great bell of Teal, the great bronze bell, Baal, was crying aloud in answer to his little silver brothers, He tolled in horror as the bells at the corners of the temple fell with a gleaming flash and with a elang landed far below. His voice sounded far out to the great river, Talle, beyond the high mountain, Jocrn, where the temple ol' Othir stood, Zlllfl whose mellow, golden bells, too, began to cry .... And below the great Buddha, below the great bell, Baal, lay little Pi-Lar. One tiny hand was outstretched, and the curling, billowy smoke of the sandal wood incense curled about it and in between the lingers, tenderly kissing and warming them as they lay so still and cold and alone. And when the fire had crept to her, when the screens had flared up one by one, and the mats of silk upon the tloor had been slowly devoured, when the flames stood all around looking to where Pi-Lar lay, the Great Buddha tottered, his head nodded as if to remem- ber Pi-Lar's last bequest, and-he fell over the prostrate form of lit- tle Pi-Lar. -J-4' eoiic-'al-w te .GD Flllll'-llllll !'I1I'I'lltSt'iI'tg slzeakilzg elf That twists our lives to suit himself, How often does he cross our path And lecture us Slflllllg while he lctughs! lVe nevez' Icnow that Iufs around Until our castles Cl CtSll to grounfl, And all our hopes so slmtterecl lay Lila' fallen leaves on autzunn day!

Foremost is the Student Body, followed by the Girls, League Zlllfl the Boosters' Club. The 'Bank Stalf, which has etticiently handled the tinances ol' the school, has received Well-deserved help the past semester in the form ol' an electric ledger posting machine, installed at a cost ot' 551050. Under the able leadership ot' Norman VValdort' and Philip VVatson, together with the co-operation of the journalism classes, the printing classes, and the instructor, the Herald has not failed to be out on time once during the past year. This year the depository and custodian committees have been com- bined into one, a new tiling system has been instituted, and a new lost- and-found system has been developed by lVlr. Cunningham. Mrs. Croney, attendance secretary, has been ably assisted by a staff of girls and boys. There are now thirteen societies in San Jose High School, six ol' which have been organized within the last three years. Torch and Laurel is the girls' honor society, which has in general two requirements for membership: high scholastic standing and ser- vice to the school. Crown and Shield is the boys, honor society. Mask and Scroll, the oldest society in the school, is the dramatic honor society, Whose members have won distinction in dralnatics. One of the most valuable clubs in San Jose High School is the Science Club, which has won recognition from such eminent educators as David Starr Jordan. The Spanish Club,.'the only foreign language club in the school, conducts its meetings in Spanish, and thus its members get a great deal ol' practice in speaking that language. The Debate Club takes the important problems of the day as topics for debate. The English Club, formed in the fall semester of 1924, has for its purpose the discussion and production of literature including one-act dramas, poems, essays, and criticisms of stories. The Boys' Block S. J. and the Girls' Block S. J. Society are the ath- letic honor societies. The Art Club, the Audubon Society, the Library Club, which was the last club to be formed in San Jose High School, and the History Club are the remaining societies.

Dewitt Portal, the second student to be re-elected in the history of San Jose High, has accom- plished wonders during his presidency. In September 500 megaphones were bought for students to use at games, a1Id were paid for by subscriptions from San Jose merchants. The annual football dance was held with the never-failing success, printed basketball schedules were issued to the students in order that they might plan ahead their attendance at games, and the first unotlieial Herald vote was held to determine whom the students favored as nom- inees for Student Body Ollices for the next semester. The spring semester started out with a big campaign to have Stu- dent Body dues IOOWI, and as the Bell goes to press, 90W has been reached, the highest percentage ever known. This semester student control was started in several study halls and worked successfully. . I The running carnival was the biggest success yet. San Jose High did not enter a team but acted as host. Twenty-tive teams participated and were given a good time over the week-end. Many amendments were added to the constitution, a float was entered in the Fiesta de las Rosas, and committees of students were appointed to help keep up the school grounds. Interelass athletics, which were formerly under the auspices Ol' the Boosters, Club, were taken over by the Student Body, and a Inore democratic organization was encouraged by giving every one a Cl'l2l1'1CC to work on the com- mittees. The vaudeville and Shakespearian shows were sponsored by this organization, which also supported Forest Conservation Week by sending students, to all the service clubs in town to give speeches. 56 THE BELL Curtner Eaton Allen Andrews Blum Van Dalsem Palm Wade Hall girls, .Eeagwe FALL OFFICERS SPRING VIRGINIA CURTNER . . .

Witli the eo-operation of the entertainment and other Girls' League committees interesting Cl1tCI'lEllI11llClllS were given at each meeting. Uniforni dress was enforced more strictly than at first as the result of meetings held by the girls of each class. A dressinaking contest was held in May, and a Mothers' and Daugh- ters' tea was also sponsored by the Girls' League.

A play, The Ghost of .Terry Bundler, brought in a large amount, which went to the fund for an amplifier for the school auditorium.

The greatest honor that can be bestowed on a girl while sl1e is in high school is Ineinbership in this society, for only those who unseliishly take part in school activities and still maintain a very high scholastic record are admitted into the society. It was organized in 1914 by a group of girls led by Evelyn Miller, now a teacher of Spanish iII this school. At this time Alice DeXVit was president of the student body, a very great honor since she has been tlIe only girl wl1o has ever held that position. The girls felt that she and other girls who worked for the welfare of the school should be rewarded in some way. Miss Ruth Kimball was dean of girls, and she also felt that the work ot' these girls should be recognized. A Ineeting of girls was called, and the plan for Torch and Laurel was considered. Finally, it was organ- ized, and girls were llOlllll1ZltCCl to become ll1CllllJC1'S of the society. Four were elected among whom were Alice DeWit and Evelyn Miller. These girls were the charter Inembers, and they drew up the constitution. Ever since then the niembers have tried hard to keep up the standard of the society. The scholarship requirement was added, and the 1llQll1lJCl'S themselves now vote' new Inembers into the society. In the fall semester of 1925 a dinner was given to the Inenibers of Torch and Laurel by HCICII Mathewson, the president, at her home. This has always been the custom in the boys' ll011Ol' society, but not in Torch and Laurel, and it was very Inuch enjoyed. The lll.Cl'l1bC1'S of Torch and Laurel ushered at the faculty show, t'Captain Applejackf' As usual, Torch and Laurel and Crown and Shield, the boys, honor society, held a joint assembly both semesters to award shingles to new 11lCl1lbG1'S, Dr. James De Voss and Karl I-lazeltine giving the addresses. The two societies also united in giving their annual sport dance, which is always one of the best social events of the year. 64 THE BELI B. Ralston B. Campbell D. Porta! T. Tigrver J. Hunter D.

GLAssoN ROWN AND SHIELD, the boys, honor society, is next to the oldest society in the school, Mask and Scroll being the oldest. It was organized in 1909 and has always stood for clean athletics, clean school work, and service to the school. In looking over the lists of past members it can be found that some of the early members are now successful business men in San Jose. This shows that boys who are interested in the welfare of their school and who promote the welfare of their school by participation in school activities and by keeping the standard of scholarship high are capable of making successes of themselves. This also shows that they were truly worthy of membership in this society. The goal ot' many boys' ambitions in high school is to become a member of Crown and Shield. A boy 1nay be a good athlete and become the hero of the school, or he may be admired because of his forceful debatingg yet it is a greater honor to be a member of Crown and Shield, for only those who have taken an active part in school affairs and have a good record in scholarship are eligible. Every boy who belongs has a right to feel proud of it. Banquets for the members were given as usual at the Y. M. C. A. both semesters. This has been the custom for many years, and these affairs are always very much enjoyed. This semester Crown and Shield extended its services toward mak- ing the high school float a pleasing one in La Fiesta de las Rosas. The joint meetings with Torch and Laurel to award shingles to new members were held in December and in May. Dr. De Voss of the San Jose State Teachers, College and Karl Hazeltine, first president of Crown and Shield and at present head of the Department of Agriculture at the State Teachers' College, were the speakers. Many alumni of the two honor societies attended the annual sport dance given by them on June 5, and which was a great success. 66 THE BELL Allen Rodecape Bellis Hall J.

The club was organized in 1921 and has been a live organization ever since then. The purpose of the club is to bring together those who are interested in science, so that they may have the opportunity ot' hearing special scientific lectures and of seeing experiinents performed. Any student who is taking. or has taken, some course in science is eligible for membership. It has been customary to have a speaker at as many meetings as possible, and since the formation of the club, students have had the opportunity of hearing lectures from some of the most prominent pro- fessors in science. These lectures are very helpful to students who are interested in scie11ce. This year Professor VVashburn of the University ot' Minnesota gave a very interesting lecture on the South Sea Islands, and Professor Tucker of Lickis Observatory talked 011 Astronomy and things done at the observatory. The club has also had some very instructive talks on Europe from the faculty members. The Science Club has a social side too. During the fall semester the second annual reunion party was held, and many old members who have graduated attended it. It was a great success. This club inakes a pledge to help thc Community Chest every year. The inembers fulfilled this pledge with the proceeds from one of the club's candy sales, several of which it sponsored this year. The club made a trip to Mt.. Ha111ilton in the spring semester. This was a most interesting trip. Also, a geological trip was made to Oak Hill Grove, Mr. Dorr acting as instructor. Many things of interest to science students were pointed out. Students not only have a great deal of fun on these trips, but also get a great deal of valuable information.

Any- one who has had one year of Spanish and who can successfully tryout before the members of the club is eligible for Ineinbership. This is a very popular club in school. and the reason it is so is probably because of its policy ot' combining social pleasures with the study of Spanish. A similar club to this existed in the school many years ago. It was called El Circulo Hispanicof' Both clubs were organized for the same purpose and are almost identical. HEI Circulo Hispanico was a very large and popular club in school also. It annually gave the play, Las Pantalonesf' The present club was organized in 192-L All the business of the meetings is conducted in Spanish, and at each meeting there are pro- grams, including short plays, given in Spanish. This year the members of the club enjoyed several social aifairs including initiation parties and a picnic. It is certain that the club will continue to be active next year, for it initiated twenty new members who will be in the club next semester in addition to the present members who will be in school next semester. l 1 j 1 4221 , f ng ,Q from 72 THE BELL Tabler M.

The main features this year have been a Halloweien masquerade party and an initiation party. The club also sponsored an after-school dance. A membership contest was held, and for this purpose the club was divided into two sides. The losing side gave the others a party after the contest.

This year it has t'u.lHl1ed these purposes very well, for the membership is quite large, and many important problems have been debated. This club was organized in 1922 by members of the debating team. Participation in one debate is required for membership. For those who would like to get on the debating team, an excellent way to get a start is to join this club. There are few social affairs connected with this clubg however, its members are very much interested and enjoy the debates. Some very interesting subjects used as the topics of debate this year were: 5'Resolved, That Congress Prohibit Publication of Income '1TklX.Rt'tU1'l1SQ,, Resolved, That the United States Have a Separate Air Unit i11 Our National Defencef' 6'Resolved, That Capital Punishment Re Abolishcdf' Resolved, That the United States Enter the YVorld Court g s'ResolVed, That Great Britain ls Unfair In Its Rubber Policyf' and Resolved, That the Monroe Doctrine Be Abolishedf' This club sponsored an interclass debate between the sophomores and juniors which the juniors won.

Eight of the old members have qualified for stars, and although no new members have been taken in, for none have received enough points according to the point system, the old members have worked to make the society a live and busy one. In the past the Girls' Block S. J. Society has sponsored after-school dances, and in various other ways it has raised money by which it has donated bleachers for use in the school gymnasium and a steamer rug for the examination room. Numerals were given to the girls of the winning interclass teams ot' hockey, basketball, baseball, and volleyball. 80 THE BELL Simon Schmidt Cook Belloli Rodgers Gustafson Williams Tigner Disbrow Edmonds Wolfe Cox Hatcher Shannon Trigwell - Hunter Bryant Goddard THE BELL 81 qioys' qilock Society 65 OFFICERS FRED SIMPSON . .

This club was rather inactive during the fall semester but seemed to be inspired with new life during the spring semester and has been up and going since. In tl1e first place a new constitution was adopted by the boys, and inembership cards were inade for members of the club. During the football and track meet held at Reed Field the boys gave their services as police. During the spring semester a dance was given by the society after school in the gyl1l11tlSillll1 to get funds to add to the amount in the treasury. The basketball courts on the Ninth Street'Field were repaired by the boys, and the club has l3CC11 trying to create a greater athletic spirit in the school. ' One ot' the greatest services ot' the club was sponsoring a track meet between the two junior high schools. The purpose of this was to arouse enthusiasm for athletics, so that just as soon as the boys eoine over to senior high, they will be ready to go out for sports, and the coaches will have material from which to pick. The 1l1C1llbC1'S have been striving to bring the club up to the stand- ard it had some years ago. The boys have succeeded in improving it and making it more active in student aflairs.

It was sponsored by the Science Club and has been in existence about a year and a half. Since then the society has been growing until it now has a membership ot' twenty-one. The purpose of this organization is to bring together those who are interested in the study of birds and their habits. Several field trips have been taken by the lllCl1llJCl'S, which were very interesting llllfl instructive. These trips included one to Sycamore Canyon, a trip from VVrights Station to Los Gatos, another to Alum Rock Canyon, a hike from Milpitas to Alum Rock by Way of Calaveras. and a hike from Monte Vista to Saratoga. Many dit'l'erent kinds of birds were seen on these trips, Mr. Smith explaining their coloring and habits. Some very interesting reports have been given at the meetings this year by the members on the different birds and on birds iII other C0l.1I1- tries, explaining their habits, abode, and nests. One report was taken from an account of birds by John James Audubon. Other talks were given by Mr. Smith and Miss Rice. The club has voted to atiiliate with the National Association of Audubon Societies, an endowed association in the United Statesg the object of which is to protect wild birds and wild animals. The name oi' the society was chosen in honor of John James Audubon, a pioneer American ornithologist and painter ot' birds. The association has a large annual income. which is devoted to many ditierent means ot' furthering the lJl'0lQCll0I1 of wild life in Amer- ieag it organizes lllillly children into bird study classes every year and provides them with material for study.

The first administration was limited only to freshmen, but the club is now open to any student who is making a high mark in history and who is interested in that subject. The group has been organized for three semesters and has about fifteen really active members. If a member misses three meetings in succession without a satisfactory excuse he is automatically dropped out. There is a program committee that arranges interesting programs for each meeting, such as obtaining members of the faculty to lecture who have traveled abroad and having topics for discussion. The favor- ite topics are current CVGl1tS and school problems in the United States and elsewhere. For two semesters the club subscribed for a current event paper. The students found these very interesting and helpful. Recently Miss Sloane was elected faculty advisor to the club. She has been very helpful and capable and has greatly interested the stu- dents' enthusiasm for history. Sli THE BELL M. Shields P. Edwards M. Lloyd M. Berra I. Wright E. Simpson F. Marshall M.

Due to the few members in the second orchestra, the two were combined, making a larger and better first orchestra. The music at both commencement exercises was furnished by the orchestra, which also played at the vaudeville show, the two senior shows, the Shakespearean show, and the operetta. During the latter part of the semester, the 'orchestra and other musical organizations of the San Jose High visited the Roosevelt Junior High School and gave a return program. It assisted the band in its production of t'Mr. Mikado, played at the annual meeting of the Community Chest at the Chamber of Commerce, and entertained the members of the Rotary Club at a dinner. Mr. Matthews deserves much credit for producing such a remarka- ble orchestra, for it is only through his efforts that the musicians are brought together. Members of the orchestra for Fall and Spring semesters are: Leon Athertour, Lawrence Bellis, Paul Bodenschatz, Jack Britton, Julius D'Anna, Carl Flindt, Josephine Gatto, Berta Gray, Irwin Hardcastle, George Hillis, Marjorie Johns, Natalia Montgomery, Marion Matricia, Carl Nylan, Mildred Pfeif- fer, Frank Rehdorf, Raymond Rhodes, Dcforcst Rodecape, Arthur Straight, How- ard Streitford, Ronald Storrs, Evelyn Taix, Ralph Wells, Randall Peterson, Orville Balch, John Castripello, Floriene Goldeen, Roy Hall, Francis Langhausen, Cecile Lassen, Alice Tyson, Leola Anderson, Gsear Anderson, Forest Baird, Robert Cantu, Kenneth Dolen, William Dresbaeh, Herold Franz, Charles Hillis, Ferrand Ican- berry, William Mangold, Beaumont Martin, Verna Nelson, Milton Thorp, and Roy- anna VVheeler. 88 THE BELL The Wand ei NDER the excellent training of Mr. Matthews the San Jose High School Band has become one of the best school bands in this part of the country. Not only has it played at high school entertainments but it has played many times outside of school affairs. During Music XVeek the band gave concerts in the St. James Park. It marched in the parade of La Fiesta de las Rosas, and played at the Shakespearean Gardens, another feature of the Fiesta. The Odd F ellows' Home received a visit from the band during Boys' Week. In addition to this, the boys have played over radio, broadcasting programs from K G O and K Q VV. At home the band has played at games and assemblies, and recently the members staged a benefit on the school stage, Mr, Mikado? a burlesque on The Mikado. THE BELL 89 5 A .

Aside from entertaining the students at assemblies these two clubs have contributed generously of their t11ne to the clubs and organiza- tions of San Jose. The boys' glee club has sung before the County Teachers' Insti- tute, lodges, clubs,and various state societies. The quartet, which is composed of Charles Hansen, Everett Roseveare, Elliot Burleson, and Austin l-lam, has several times entertained the I'I'lCl11bCl'S of the Rotary Club and other organizations. At Christmas time the girls' glee club furnislied joy to sick people and those confined at home when they sang carols early on Christmas morning. The girls sang at the commencement exercises on January 30, entertained the members of the High School Parent-Teachers' Asso- ciation, visited the County Hospital, and appeared several times before the Business and Professional VVomen's Club and at the Hotel Vendome. 1 I , f, 92 A jjj 65 4, v THE BELL C.

How often i11 the course of the past year has this familiar introduc- tion been heard? Many times, and each time it has meant another victory, for San Jose High School has just completed one of the most successful debating seasons in the school's history, awarding six pins and two pearls to her debaters. Out of a total of eight debates, San Jose has won seven, winning for the second successive year the championship of the Peninsula Debating League. The first debate was Resolved that the Child Labor Amendment be Adopted? The affirmative, Dick Coulter and Clark Bradley, met Tur- lock and defeated them 3-0. The negative team, Percy Fry and Ber- nard Ahlgren, traveled to Ceres where San Jose met her only defeat for the season, losing the debate by a score of 2-1. The second debate was Resolved that a Definite Educational Test be Applied as a Means of Qualifying Voters? In this debate the affirm- ative team, made up of Dick Coulter and Clark Bradley, defeated San Mateois negative team 3-0, while the negative team of San Jose, Maurice Amsden and Marshall Hall, defeated Santa Cruz 2-1. In the 'third debate for the season, Resolved that the United States Enter the Wo1'lct Court, Norman VValdorf and Percy Fry, the affirma- tive team, defeated Modesto 3-0 in a very interesting debate, while the negative team also took a 3-0 decision away from Manteca. The nega- tive 'team was made up of Maurice Amsden and Clark Bradley. The fourth debate was held on April 29. The amrmative team, lnade up of Norman VValdorf and Marshall Hall, defeated Redwood City 3-0 on the subject, Resolved that Capital Punishment be Abol- ishedf' The negative team defeated San Mateo's affirmative team 2-1 on the same subject. This brief review of the debates for the season gives an idea as to how successful San Jose High School has been. The award given 'to the debaters is a gold pin. It is given to'those who have been on two winning teams. This year Percy Fry, Maurice Amsden, Marshall Hall, Dick Coulter, Norman VValdorf, and Clark Bradley received pins. Norman VValdorf and Clark Bradley also received pearls, which are added if the debater has been on four win- ning teams. The success of San Jose's debaters lies in the coaching of Miss Grace Woocl, whose experience in debating makes her an exceptionally good coach. . Although five of San Jose,s experienced debaters graduate this June, Marshall Hall and Bernard Ahlgren, botlriot' whom'have had experience in big debates, will be left to make a winning team for next semester, while several other students who showed their ability in the interclass debates will take up debating. 94 THE BELL Shakespearean Show---if acoezfhp' HE sixth annual Shakespearean show was given in the San Jose High School auditorium on the evenings of June 10 and 11. The play chosen for this yearts pcrt'or1nanec was Macbeth,,, a tive- act tragedy. The play is built around two stellar parts, Macbeth and Lady Mac- beth. The lead, Macbeth, was taken by Lawrence Bellis, who gave a truly remarkable pertormance. He played the part well and was pleas- ingly subdued where a less experienced actor would have raged. Lady Macbeth, portrayed by Joyce Eaton, was done justice by a very sincere and intelligent interpretation. A deep dramatic reserve was sl1ow11 in the most ditlicult scenes. A VVilliam VVarren Studentls copy was used in the production, and many ot' the lesser parts were left out or given to a character ot' more prominence. This facilitated matters a great deal, making it unneces- sary to have a cast that would have been much too large for the high school stage. The lesser parts were nonethe less well done. The parts played by James Torniey, Byron Moore, Marshall Hall, and De VVitt Portal. deserve special mention and praise. The productive end of Macbeth was in the able hands ol' Miss Ellen G. Briggs, dramatic coach of the S. J. H. S. The scenery was artistically done by Delos VVolt'e. The stage work, behind scenes, was managed by VVil1is Burch. The ca st follows: Macbeth .

The play itself was an excellent one, being o11e of YValter Haekettis successes. The character work of the actors and actresses fully came up to the standard ot' the play. The two interior sets were of the best on our stage. Mr. Jefferson as Ambrose Applejohn, Mr. P. M. VVeddell at Boralsky, Miss Evelyn Miller as Anna, and Miss Mayer as Poppy Faire gave splen- did perl'ormances. These parts were doubly difficult inasmuch as each one covered two distinct types ot' character. The scene changes from an interior of an old home to the lfoicastle of a pirate ship and the atmo- sphere ol' mystery caused by this keeps everyone guessing as to the outcome. The finding of the pirateis treasure in the room ot' the old home makes a fitting climax to an interesting plot of spies, murder. robbery. and love. Mr. John Gribner, a gradaute of this school, very generously donated his professional services as coach in view of the fact that the proceeds of the show were to go to the amplifier fund. 1 The entire cast follows: Lush ..... .

Various remarks, such as Best in yearsf, t'Wasn,t it fine?', They were truly character parts, do not begin to do justice to the play and its presentation. De Forrest Rodecape deserves much credit and praise for his Cappy',, the lovable old man foutside of business hoursj, and he cer- tainly was the outstanding star of the show. He proved his ability as an actor by tackling this part, which was so entirely different from his Puck in t'Midsunnner Night's Dream. Elgie Ogier, as the heroine, added materially to her long list of con- sistently good performances. Her scenes while on the stage were beau- tifully done, her voice, clean-cut lines, and general presentation reached into the ranks of the professional. Matt Peasley, the clever but stubborn sailor, was very well played by Richard Coulter. Dick showed real ability in his part. Meade Eaton, secretary to Cappy, and Juanita Hughes, stenographer and ex-chorus girl, gave very clever perforniances, while VVi11 Blabon, as Pericles Bernard, caused laugh upon laugh with his shuffle and English accent. This was VVill's first appearance on the S. J. I-I. S. stage, and he certainly deserves all the credit given hiin. Claudia Waller and Stanley Edmonds completed the cast, and both did well as the aunt and chauffeur respectively. Cast of Cappy Ricksuz Alden P. Ricks . . De Forrest Rodecape Florence Ricks . . . .

It is interesting to remember that The Youngest' received its first presentation in the West on the San Jose High School stage. Herman Simon as Richard WVinslow gave an excellent perform- ance. His character work as the down-trodden, budding writer, left nothing to be desired. Wanda Allen as Nancy Blake, a clever and attractive New York society girl and the heroine, was exceptionally good. The two, Her- man and Wanda, conducted their verbal skirmishes in a very inter- esting manner. Virginia Curtner as the pacific mother went through her difficult character part beyond all expectations for a high school actress. As her sons, Don Hascall as Mark Winslow, and Bertram Ralston fFriday nightb and Gabriel Bisceglia fSaturday nightl as Oliver XVinslow did very good work, the scene of the will being ,done partic- ularly well. I Phoebe Plate as Augusta Winslow Martin, wife of Allen Martin, gave a good interpretation of the older sister who poured out sarcasm ad libitum on all the members of her family. Dick Russell was unusually good in the role of Allen Martin, the lawyer, who discovered the weak poi11t in the will and aided Richard YVinslow to recover the fortune which was rightfully his. Bernice Cottrell as Martha Muff,' NVinslow gave a delightful inter- pretation of a sympathetic but sarcastic sister. Much credit for the success of the production is due to Miss Ellen G. Briggs, coach, Mrs, Mary Pillott and Austin E. Ham, business mana- gers. The stagc work behind the scenes was ably handled by Willis Burch, Student Body stage manager, and Frank Thorne, senior manager. The cast follows: Mrs. VVinslow ......

Briefly, it was a grand and glorious success. The lines were snitooth and were not fre- quented with 'tthose terrible pausest' so characteristic of most amateur productions. The cast was the best assembled on the stage for years. Such stu- dent-stars as Elma Zabel, Dorothy Hall, Austin Ham, DeWVitt Portal and Delos VVolfe among the more experienced ones took part in the play. Elma Zabel as Ilona, the gypsy girl, was true to form in her part. Her beautiful voice showed up to advantage in her solos, which were all enthusiastically encored. Austin E. Ham, playing opposite Miss Zabel as J. Jennison Jones. gave a clever and original portrayal of that advertising expert from Chicago, U. S. A. Dorothy Hall as June Pennington and Chas. Hansen as the poor artist, Crefont, gave consistently good performances. The love scenes were done to perfection, their voices in the ducts showing up very well. The comedy honors go to DeVVitt Portal, Delos VVolfe, uChasf' Pait, and 'tStan Smock. DeWitt and Delos, as Captain Kinski and Louise, respectively, held the audience in constant laughter in their modern love scenes. Charles Pait and Stanley Smock as Rumski and Bumski, the two cops and Usecret service of Viennaf' were excellent. Their solo, 'tThe Duty of a Copf, was greatly appreciated by the audience. Lawrence Bellis as Jonas Pennington, 'tThe Peter Piper Pickle Prince, showed a character-acting ability that is hard to beat. His duets with Lilah Eubanks as Lady Vivian de Laney, the scheming widow, were very good. Norman Brill as Hans, and Elliott Burleson as .ligo were both fine in their respective parts. VVell drilled choruses, ensemble numbers, and clean-cut lines were the remaining features of the show. Much credit is due Miss Ellen G. Briggs, who coached the play: Miss Cleo Parinelee, who directed the orchestra and choral workg Miss VVanda Allen, who trained the chorus dances and also gave two beau- tiful solo dances in the show, Ephraim Engleman who held the audi- ence spell-bound Friday night with his violin numbers.

The results of the contest for the interclass vaudeville trophy cup were espe- cially noteworthy, inasmuch as the low senior act and the high junior act tied for first place. This unusual situation was settled by having the names of both classes placed upon the cup. The high sophomore act also received one vote. These acts were made up of both experienced and inexperienced students. Miss Wancla Allen took the honors in the low senior act, Roses, the audience demanding encores for both evenings and for the registration performance of the two winning acts. This act was under the management of Austin Hain and August Boeger. The high junior act, 66011 the Air, was managed by Willis Burch, and Delos WVolfe was the star comedian in his portrayal of Professor von Dinkel- spielf' The show was, from the viewpoint of the audience, one of the most delightful productions of its kind ever given on the high school stage. Its success was due to the splendid co-operation of the cast, managers, and Miss Ellen G. Briggs, dramatic coach. The following is the program in the order ot' appearance: F ire Light .....

A system of interclass sports and playdays was instituted in place of the championship interscholastic games. Instead of one school team there are now several which are ranked according to class. These teams enter into competi- tion among themselves and are awarded points for first place, second place, and participation. Cn these points is based the awarding of the block S. Jfs to the girls. In order to further promote the friendship between the various schools, playdays were organized. On December 12, Santa Clara, Los Gatos, and Campbell met at San Jose. Games were played in the morn- ing. In the afternoon the girls enjoyed eats, swimming, and stunts. Another playday was held at Santa Clara on May 1. Campbell, Los Gatos, Morgan Hill, and San Jose-were visitors there. San Jose again played hostess 011 May 8, when Redwood City, Santa Clara, Campbell, and Los Gatos met at San Jose. This interclass system has been taken up by all the schools in the G. P. A. L. The student delegates to the league this year were Florence Lee Ogier, fall semester, and Esther Blum and Walicla Griffith, spring semester. This system has resulted in a greater good for a far greater number ot' girls than any tried before. More teams mean more girls receiving the benefits of 'training in sports and coaching. A Boys, athletics this year were only fair as far as winning and los- ing go. There were no championship teams except the tennis doubles team, which won the N. C. S. and only lost the State championship by a close score. However, the teams played the game at all times, never giving up even though the score was against them. They were also good losers, so, although they lost many games and meets, their play- ing helped them physically and in many other ways. Nearly every sport teaches the athletes to be quick thinkers and ,also greatly im- proves their physical conditiong therefore from this standpoint San J ose had a successful season. . The 130-lb. basketball team came the closest of the teams to win- ning the P. A. L. championship. It 'tied with Redwood City and then lost out in the championship game by a few points. The track team was fairly successful, although it failed to win the P. A. L. as in the previous five seasons. The other teams were about the same as track, except the football team, which seemed to be hoodooed. 102 THE BELL Morton ssell Ru Burch Borchers ornbuckle n H ach Marti Co gnel' gr-J F.

The 1nen worked hard, and often played under disadvantages due to the lack of 111611 out for this sport. Some of the men played when they were not ill the best of condition physically. The team practiced against the sophomores, a team of lighter fellows, who deserve a great deal of credit for the fine spirit they showed in giving the first team scrimmages, besides playing through a very successful season. These men have gained good experience for the 1926 football team because of their efforts this year. San .lose had several individual stars, but injuries kept some of these from performing to the best of their ability. De Witt Portal and Ralph Fry were consistent ground gainers in the backficld all season,-the former receiving honorable mention on the All-State football team, which is one of the biggest honors in foot- ball that any student of S. J. I-I. S. has ever received. Captain Tom Tigner, playing l1is last year of high school football, was a very valuable man due to his ability to play either in the line or in the backtield. Next year under Coach Bill Martin and Captain-elect Howard Hornbuckle, with many experienced players out, San Jose should make a good showing in the league.

An- other handicap was the late start in practice due to the fact that most of the fellows were on the football team and had to wait until the foot- ball season was over before starting with basketball. Coach Vogt did his best and turned out a team that showed plenty of fight even though it did not Win many games. Captain Portal and Ralph Fry' were the outstanding stars of the SCHSO11.

The team, led by Captain Harry Bryant, a veteran of three years, played good basketball throughout the season. Kenneth Scott, center, was high-point man of tl1e season, scoring over 100 points. Bryant, Cook, and VVil1iams also scored heavily for the 5430's. In every case, almost, the opponents were held to low scores clue to the stellar guarding of Manager Ptadojevich and Earl Goodell. The limited team, showing that size could not stop it, defeated the unlimited teams from Monterey and Pacific Grove High Schools by large scores.

But the boys worked hard under this handicap and were coached by Delos Wolfe, a former soccer team mem- ber. The weather conditions were very poor, which kept the boys from practice a great deal, and most of the games were forfeited due to the condition of many of the players. However, the sophomores who were on the team will hold up a stronger team for next year.

Out of seven practice matches the team won six and suf- fered its one and only defeat at the hands of the Santa Cruz tennis team. This match, the first one of the season, was decisive. The San Jose team was defeated four matches to none, which. although a discouraging beginning, was later made up. The team went through the rest ot' the season with the loss of but one individual match CPlymire of Palo Alto defeated Neideraur of San Jose, 3-6, 6--4, 6-41. The second match of the season was played against Santa Clara, where the San Jose team came back strong from its defeat by Santa Cruz. . . and beat the Santa Clarans five matches to none. H. Simon The next match was with Palo Alto, whom the locals defeated by the score of five matches to one. The Palo Alto team was rated to be one of the strongest in the league, therefore this victory buoyed the San Jose team up considerably. This match was held on the courts of the Peninsula Tennis Club in Palo Alto. The next team to go down before the San Jose racket wielders was San Mateo, which was defeated by the decisive score of six matches to no11c. ' Campbell High was also defeated, five matches to none. Return matches were played and Campbelland Santa Clara were again beaten. All the matches played in San Jose were on the courts of the San Jose Tennis Club, which very courtcously allowed the high school to use them. May 10, the team went to San Mateo for the P. A. L. matches. All the P. A. L. school teams assembled on the courts' of the San Mateo and Burlingame schools, and the matches were run off. XVilbur Cox and Philip Neideraur, playing doubles for San Jose, won the P. A. L. cham- pionship by defeating Los Gatos 6-0, 6-1, Campbell 6-2, 6-2, and in the finals Palo Alto 6-3, 6-3. - Herman Simon, playing singles, defeated San Mateo 6-2, 7-5.

Cox and Neideraur won the North Coast Section title at Berkeley on May 18, by defeating Saint Helena 6-0, 6-3. Then in the finals they clefeatecl Santa Cruz 6-3, 6-4. The winning of the N. C. S. title brought a bronze plaque to the San Jose High School. The two boys travelled to Coalinga on May 26 to play in the State championship CC. I. FJ. They defeated Modesto 6-0, 6-1, thus unoffi- cially winning the championship of northern California. They were then defeated by the San Diego team in the finals 6-3, 6-4. This ended the tennis season at San Jose High. There will be two men left to build up the team next year, Philip Neideraur and Kenneth Scott, both excellent players. Witli these two boys and the wealth of material deyeloping, next yearis tennis team promises to be almost as good as this year's. Herman Simon and Wilbur Cox graduate in June and February, respectively, but their places will be ably filled by the other two boys. 110 unnnuunn1unnunnnlnu11unnnuunluuuuunI THE BELL nunlnluuuunnluulnlnnnulunnnnuluruuunnunuunumlnunununnuulunnnunnnnnunuuu Eff: 'i' .Li V W 5. ., -. ,y 24 T.
