VVe theret'ore wish to thank those advisers, Mr. Gleason, Miss Pitcher, Miss Simpson, and Miss Acworth, for their co-operation with us, and their kindly advice. This Bell has been made possible by the efforts not only ot' the staff, but also of many other students and friends of San Jose High School who have generously given their time to making it a success. They have been helpful in the extreme, and have claimed no thanks or glory l'or themselves, and so we wish to express our deep appreciation of their help, and to thank them heartily for their unselfish efforts.

It may be that this generation In the hot haste to lighten ship Of the dull horde Of dingy dogmas and old dictums Has Ilung overboard Something that's precious . . . Something of reverence and reticence and grace If that is so, Then you will sense the lack And plunge in after it And bring it back, Or something saner, stronger, in its place.

To be seventeen 101' sixteen or eighteenll For the battle llags are furled And tired eyes have seen The red, futile folly of war: It is a sadder, wiser world You are making ready for. You will mark this season in your memories This year of graduation With remembranees like these'- It was when the Santa Clara Valley Had almost enough rain, And the hills greened overnight And blazed with poppies, And the orchards made a white Solid sea of bloom From mountain range to mountain range, And there were orioles Spilling a riotous tune, House-hunting, giddily, A month too soon: The Bell It was when Stanford won the Track Meet Ur when California lost- XVlllCllL'VCl' way You say: It was when you danced To Moonlight and Roses . llut it was a more vital time than that, With a hruised and battered civilization Shaking oil' its shackles And its poses, Ceasing to shrug- It always has heen, so it always will be!

To the classes of February and June, 1925, I desire to express the appre- ciation of both faculty and students for the eilort you have made i11 giving us this volume. In years to come, we will re-read its pages and recall with pleasure the happy days we have spent together in San Jose High School. The members of this ycaris graduating class will soon be scattered, never to reasselnble in full numbers. lt is, however, to be hoped that wherever the future may find them, this issue of The Bell, with its record of the activities in which they took a prominent part, its photo- graphs of their school-day friends, its jokes and little personalities, will ever serve as a strong link to bind them to their old school. This class stands out, because of the individual and collective accomplishments oi' ils members. It is our earnest hope that it will carry into the activi- ties of life, the same Cllll1lISlElSl11 and sincerity, and will ever reflect credit upon San Jose High School. R. B.

THE EDITOR. The success ot' any student's high school or college life depends vastly more upo11 the spirit illld activities of the student than upon the assistance all'orded by tl1e instructor or professor. Tl1e stude11t will be educated just about i11 proportio11 as he does the work hiniself. The principal purpose ot' tl1e teacher is to advise and guide tl1e student. The boy for girll who would learn to swim can be l1'Cl'llCl1Cl0llSly bene- :titled by tlll expert teacher of swimming, but he will never lear11 to swim tll1l0SS he jumps i11to tl1c water and actually does the work him- self, i11 accordance with the advice and example of tl1e instructor. A teacher does not really educate his students by merely pouring i11to 14 The Bell their minds certain facts and theories concerning the theory at issue. The student must think about those facts and theories, and make them a part of himself. It should also be borne in mind that a highly trained intellect does not carry the possessor very far in the work of the world unless it has the support of a splendid physique. Students in high school and col- lege should not neglect their physical well-being. Those who are ambitious may wisely utilize a part ot' their long vacation periods to acquaint themselves with the contents ot' the great books for the reading of which there has not been opportunity in term time. Students who do not do much for themselves and on their own account will not go very far in the intellectual world. W. YV. C.xMrma1.1., . President of University of CfLl'ifoo'nia. In a state like California, where high-school education is practi- cally universal, it is difficult for us to realize the great privileges open to us. Many of our high schools are as handsome, extensive and expensive, with as capable a faculty, as were many of the colleges of a generation ago. The high school opens the way both to further study in the univer- sities and to life itself. NVC have a chance there, too, to meet many ot' our intimate friends and many of our neighbors and fellow-citizens ol' the future. It is i111portant for us to realize that we are establishing by our high-school work in the minds of hundreds of our associates a con- ception of our individual qualities and character and ot' our abilities in various directions. The high-school period is the great trial period for everyone. It' the student can obtain a knowledge ot' how to use his mind and his body at this particular age, his future success is prac- tically assured. Most important of all is to learn how to use time and to develop a time sense, so that recreation follows real study and there is no dawd- ling or purposeless idling. Tl1e best way to get an education is to work while you work, play while you play, sleep while you sleep, and get each day's work done each day. RAY LYMAN VVILBUR. President of Strunfowl University. The high school period is critical in the life of a young man or woman. Here is where character begins to set with irrevocable firm- ness. I would advise youth to remember that while the intellectual busi- ness of the school day is central that making one's own character is the major problem of every minute. Right now, as you work, are you fixing the right attitude and feeling? As you study or recite are you honest, sincere, prompt, painstaking, energetic, thoughtful, considerate? The final character of a man is but a complex bundle of sensibilities made up of the habitual attitudes of his youth. ITENRY SUzzAr.0. I President of Washington Univwstty.

Under the leadership Ot' Ernest Renzel illld Victor Hermann lhe Student Body has undertaken many things, all Of which have been successful. In tlIe fall semester, the Vaudeville Show was held, half the pro- ceeds Ol' which went lo the Connnunity Chest Fund. The football ClZll1CG was sponsored by the Associated Students, and given in lIOnOr Of San .lose I-Iigh's football players. In the spring semester, the Running Carnival was held. This is one Of the .lllllJ0l'l2llll events Ol' the year, and it was a success from the finan- cial as well as the athletic standpoint.

Under the supervision of Miss Studley, the finances of the class were managed so that the class was able to leave a substantial gift to the school at the end of the year. Miss Studley was also in charge of the business end of the Senior Show, as well as having the supervision ol' the Senior Ball Connnittee. All these duties took a great deal of time, which was cheerfully given by Miss Studley in addition to her regular leaching. Miss Pitcher had charge of the Will Zlllfl Prophecy Coniinittees. These connnitlees likewise demanded a great deal of attention. Miss Pitcher also aided the speakers at the graduating exercises in preparing their addresses. These 'tasks are only some of the outstanding exam- ples of the help given to the class by their advisers. Perhaps the great- est services ol' all were those which were given every day and whenever anything went wrong in the class affairs. These advisers gave good advice as to studies all through the senior year, which was not always heeded. They endeavored to make the standard of the class of January '25 as fine, if not finer, than that of any class that had graduated in the past. Because of these things, the 1ne1n- bers ol' the class ol' January '25 will long cherish in their ineniories the thoughts ol' the many happy relationships with their senior advisers.

He gave it as a most precious possession, susceptible of the finest and most delicate cultivation, where the seeds of virtue and knowledge were to be planted with tenderest care. Alltl now, as youth, laden with its sweet hopes and bright fancies, borders on a maturer life, He gives us intuitively a knowledge of the field ot' labor from which we are to reap the harvest we have sowed. VVe claim no longer the halcyon time of youthful school daysg like Autumn's golden leaves which beautify the earth for a sea- son, they have sped l'rom us, driven by the winds of a sterner reality. But their brightness will never be lostg it will weave a halo over our future years, piercing with its golden light the mists which must needs arise in the sunniest lives. Its glimmering light reaches us as we labor among the many toilers in Life's boundless fields and shines with its most resplendent beams on the sheaves we are gathering, as if it would fain develop into richest beauty the little seeds it had nurtured in the planting. VVhen, like tired harvesters, we grew weary and discouraged in the pursuit of our daily toil, sometimes disappointed in the result of the want of success which attended our efforts, the golden sun of hope cleared the horizon, and with its steady, lustrous beams still beckoned us on, ever on, to a crowning perseverance and solaced our weary hearts and brains by the contemplation of reward. One by one we placed our little sheaves together, and day by day we anxiously sought to group them as a complete and golden whole. But we did not labor alone, our efforts were not unattended by the kindly aid of others, who, having followed the same routine, favored us with a mutual sympathy and words of commendation and encouragement. VW: express our deepest gratitude to them who have thus so gen- erously assisted us-our principal, Mr. Leland, Miss Phelps, Miss Bowen, Mrs. Pillot, lVIr. Lathrop and our other teachers and friends. We gave implicit reliance to their guidance and have never had reason to believe our trust misplaced. Today we go forth into those devious paths in which Life may lead us with their kindly words of hope and assurance treasured in our hearts. To them, to our loved companions and to all who have bright- ened our school life by a close Zllld happy friendship, we reluctantly speak the words of farewell. XVALTER C.

For a history ol' such a school organ is, in a sense, the lit- erary history ol' the school. It is with a certain reverence that we delve into the early editions of the Bell i11 an elfort to gain some sense ot' the conditions that surrounded them, the editors, and the con- trihutors. At tirst sight, volume one, number two, ot' the Bell printed in Feb- ruary, 1898, is not very imposing. It is composed of eight pages measur- ing six by ten inches, and resembles an overgrown church bulletin. But the Bell was originally a monthly, lllld when all the yearly editions are placed together it is quite an imposing volume for a school which was so much smaller than it is today. In this second edition we learn by XVl10111 the Bell was named. VVe are indebted to Prof. Smith for christening our paper. VVe are proud of the name a11d feel sure that it will become a household word. Most ol' the articles are of an inspirational tone. One of 'them writ- ten by Maud A. Main, a prominent alumnus, we reprint in part: There is probably no period of school life that will, in after years, be remembered with so 1nucl1 pleasure as the time spent in the high school. Here it is that the pupil begins to realize that he must prepare for the responsibilities ol' mature years, and this realization gives a new impetus to all his ambitious aspirations. He enters upon his duties with renewed zeal and strives to make the most of every opportunity. 'A' X i Bright High School days, who would not recall them?,' S, J. I-I. S. seems to encircle those three tleeting years of life, like a halo ol' glorious light, and as its radiance, here a11d there, touches upo11 some incident it brings to memory many happy recollections, bathed in 'The glory and the l'reshncss of a dream., ln those days the course occupied only three years and the classes were called, senior, middler, and junior. In an article on the Bell, a contributor states its reason for being. The necessity ol' oratorical drill was felt in the San Jose High School and the demand was met by organizing the three literary socie- ties, all ol' which are 11ow striving for higher achievements with an equal zeal. These societies, however, give very little or no stimulus to the drill ol' composition. This is looked upon by many with regret. To supply this lack ol' means for symmetrical development of expressing our thought the 'High School Bell, was born. Sprinkled throughout the paper are a number of two and three- line comments, subtle references to persons now staid business 111611, and to trails 11ow forgotten or remembered with sheepish smiles. In- terrogation and exclamation marks are thrown at odd places in these comments, for reasons incomprehensible to the historian, but doubtless ot' humorous portent to the reader of 1898. 50 The Bell The manager of the Bell was Sumner Osgood, a11d the editors were: Ethel Rhodes, Charles O'Brien, Chloe Anderson, Delbert Well, Della Beach, H. F innemore, and Harry Cracroft. The subscription price was twenty-five cents for a term of five months. ln the Bell for March, 1898, the following unsuspectingly humorous bit appears: 'tSeveral of our freshmen have been suffering from chicken pox. On the instant we wonder how many freslnnen would have to be stricken with chicken pox before the Herald took notice of it in its columns? - The following was signed A Rebellious Infant: 'Miss i, may I go into Miss -'s room? I must see one of the girls? 6' 'Yes, honey, be good and don't stay long? i' This is a fair sample of the dialogue which take place daily. Prob- ably the next rule will be: No pupil may leave his room unless accom- panied by his teacher to insure good behavior. Mama's apron strings aren't in it.', We turn now from the first few editions to those of 1907. The Bell of February 1907 has profited by the intervening years. In fact, it re- sembles a somewhat reduced edition of the 1923 or '24 Bell, except for the absence of photographs. There arc twenty-five pages of reading matter and about eight pages of advertiselnents. The paper is of good grade and the make-up excellent. Short stories and verse of good qual- ity makes this Bell exceedingly readable. The literary societies have a large space. Clarence Goodwin, at present city manager of San Jose, was busi- ness manager of the Bell in 1907. Grace F. Canfield was editor and general manager, and Victor Weigle was assistant editor. In tl1e April, 1907, number the following editorial appeared: 'tlt is just a year since the earthquake! And we are happy and prosperous, and life is not so changed after allg we are back in school, more content than ever before, and with the prospect of a Hue IICVV high school in a short time. To a calm observer at tl1e present time, the earthquake was a blessing in disguise. But 'Blessings brighten as they take their flight', and we are not hankering after a repetition of the eighteenth of last April! No, indeed! Not for ours! All hopes are now centered on the new high, but we shall always have a tender spot in our hearts for the old building, it is seldom indeed that we pass it without a little sighg but time mends all things, and we do not feel the sickening ache that we felt for the first few months, when we passed the ruins of our beloved old school. Let us hope and plan for the future, for the days that are to be. And the way to do it is to get in and work now-for today's practice makes tomorrow's victory. Let us strive to do our best now, in order not to be out of practice when the time comes for us to live up to our fine building with fine work to accolnpany it. Let us work for the highest goal, whether in class, ath- letics, debating, or any other activity. In other words, letis hitch our automobile to a star tonly let's be sure it is not a shooting star!J In order that we may not slight the fraternities, which had great influence at this time, we will quote the following letter which was sent in reply to a questionnaire by the editor of the Bell to find what the attitude of the fraternities was in regard to their relations with the sc ioo . The Bell F 51 Dear Sir: I11 answering your letter we wish to say that we consider ourselves the best 'Frat' in the school. Our members are all very STUDIOUS. Only a short time ago one of our most accomplished writers, namely, Mr. Cyril McGraw, published his treatise on 'The cor- rect position to assume when sitting beside a young lady on the stairsf and he is now preparing another paper, entitled 'The Art of Standing Graeefully on a Heater., We are proud to say that there are not queeners among us.1 The society was recently compelled to remove its charter from the school, but as Mr. Gilliam has given us a place in his barn to hang it we have not bemoaned our fate. I noticed it there the other day, while Dan was washing the buggy, and, believe me, it looks quite as aristo- cratic and homelike as it did before. I have recently bee11 elected 'Grand Clerk ol' the Board of Mysteries' and 'Keeper of the Crimson Ink., This corresponds to the secretary of an ordinary society. It is a very great honor. Yours sincerely, Henry Swaffordf' As a picture of the social spirit of the age the following is signifi- cantly full ol' color: This is from that peer of magazines, The Ladies' Home Journal. We take pleasure in printing it for the benefit of the young ladies of the High School. .lohn says he wants the next girl he asks to a dance to let her mother see it and impress the last two lines on her. That last idea is line for the boys all right-but, what about the poor mothers? 'I am a High School girl, and a boy invites me to a school dance to which I expected to go with 1ny mother. Would it be permissible to suggest my mother's accompanying us and should she go in the carriage with us? -Alicia. 'It would be entirely correct for you to do so, and your mother should not only go with you in the carriage but furnish the carriage herself, since your escort is so very youthfulln The Bell as it was born in 1898 and grew as a monthly organ for the reflection of school thought passed out of existence. It became an annual, and its place as a school periodical was taken by the Herald. It is with respect for the worthy ideals and aspirations of those citi- zens of the San Jose High School who brought forth the first Bell and who kept the paper alive through the succeeding years that we close this History ol' the Bell. Note 1. A Queener was a 1907 version of the 1925 Sheik. 52 The Bell Failure 'US' 1:- OHNNIE MENDIA came out of the old man's ollice with lagging steps a11d a discouraged droop to his fifty-five year old body-a different 1nan from the assured fellow who had gone in but ten minutes before. The boss had been righteously indignantg he had given Johnnie an efficient and cold-blooded wigging. He had wanted to know if Johnnie was getting too old to recognize a hot-box when he saw one. He had ended with E111 emphatic statement about the result of a repetition of such a thing. The worst of it was that Johnnie knew that he had been negligent, it was true that he was old. In the outer office a gay and idle group of men, who formed the noon-relief, were lounging ill an erratic queue before a window, receiv- ing their daily supplies of transfers and tickets and change. Johnnie passed them with his head down and his eyes concentrated with unsee- i11g ll1lC11ll1CSS on the dirty, dust-cakcd floor. One very young fellow, near the end of the line, slouching indolently against the wall, and chewing gum with a free and easy movement of his jaws, grinned cheerily and shouted, t'Hel1o, Dad. Did you finally get caught in one of your crimes ? Johnnie returned the smile feebly and said, Yehf' He knew the men expected him to return the pleasantry in the spirit in which it was offered, but he could not think of anything to say. His mind felt numb and dead. He wondered what the young cub meant by finally caught in one of your crimes t Wzxs he so inefficient that the men talked about him behind his back? He gave a miserable imitation of his usual jaunty farewell salute and went outside to wait for his car. He was utterly tired and dejected. He wanted nothing more than a chance to rest and to hide his inefficiency from the world. His home became a haven, to be reached at any cost, where he would be out of the sight and thoughts of all men who knew that he was a failure4and too old now ever to be anything else. When the car finally came along, he went through it to the rear platform and huddled down miserably in his seat. At his own corner he got off the car Ellld started slowly and labori- ously down the sunny, cottage-lined street. Every muscle in his body felt weak and relaxed, he didnit know whether he could hold himself upright all the way dow11 the block to his home. In front of one of the little bungalows one of his neighbors was puttering around a small gold-fish pond. He greeted Johnnie cordially, in a jocose, man-to-man fashion in which Johnnie himself usually excelled. He explained to Johnnie what he was trying to do to the pond and wanted to know what Johnnie thought of the proposed paving of the street. Johnnie felt that the man-a successful businessman and lawyer- was laughing at him pityingly. He mumbled that he guessed it would be all right and hurried on toward his home in order to get under cover as soon as possible. Suddenly he thought of his wife: she would be curious and ask innumerable questions. He wanted to run away from her-but he had The Bell 53 no other place to go than home. And at home was his garden. That morning. while Emma was getting his coffee, she had nagged him about the garden, he must weed it soon, she had said, or it would be too late to plant anythingg other men weeded their yards. WVhy didnit he? I-le hurried on up the sidwealk with a feeling of relief in his heart. At least they would leave him alone in the garden. As he reached the house, his daughter, Jessie, flung the door open and ran down the walk to meet him. Oh, Fatherf' sl1e cried, Uncle Frank just got here. A visitor to be faced as well as his family! He set his jaw rigidly and tried to smile. Behind Jessie appeared a great red face, which roared at hiln throatily. NVe1l, well, Jawnie, it bellowed. How's the man? Johnnie drew a breath somewhat like a sob and prepared to face the guns. His wife interrupted his weak greeting. I never was so surprised to see anybody in my life! I she exclaimed shrilly. Here he's been in San Francisco live days already and didn't even telephone usf' She beamed proudly on her brother as she led him back i11to the house. .lohnnie humbly determined to do his duty in this matter, even it' he had been branded as a failure in all else. Well, how are things with you, Frank ?,i he asked with an effort. Frank fortunately required nothing more to keep him occupied. Couldn't be better, he said loudly. Couldn't be better. Sure got a line place. Fifteen square miles. Sheep all over. Lot of horses. Big raneh-house-about six times as big as thisf, NVhen are you going to get married, Frank ? Emma asked know- ingly. Frank roared with laughter. 'tNever, I hope, he answered emphatically. 6'The Argentine's no place for women. But, come to 'think of it, it's no worse than this state was when our fathers and mothers settled here, eh, .lawnie ? Johnnie said, No, and sat in his chair in an agony of desire to get away and be alone. I guess you see a big ditlerence between this state now and when you went away, F rank, Emma remarked fondly. MI certainly do, Frank answered. 4'NVl1y, XVllG11 I left, old Mr. Mendia still had his ranch. Now, what's become of his land? Divided up into little fruit farms! He snorted loudly and indignantly. .lolnmie stirred miserably. I suppose I should have held on to that land, he said. 'l'hat's what I would have donefi Frank answered. I know you can't make any money selling when thereis a lot of your goods on the market. l'd have held that land and then lid have bee11 able to get my own price for it. You remember those fifty acres down at Coyote that you sold lo NVoodrow and McAbee? I-low much did you get an acre ?', Frank had unwittingly touched one of Emma's sore spots. llc got tifteen dollars an acref' she said acidly, and just the other day they sold it for 341500 an acre. I said to him then that any fool would have known better than to sell when there wasn't anybody to btw. 54 The Bell Johnnie remembered that he l1ad sold the land to pay Emma's hospital bill, but he said, nothing. Frank took up the tale again with another piece of land that Johnnie had sold at a disadvantage, and Johnnie listened dully, feeling that with each word his bro ther-in-law leered at him. But his humilia- tion was so deep he had no resentment. He was an old man, and he had failed with his life. He had dragged his family down with him. He remembered when he had been a small boy on his father's and grandfather's ranch down the valleyg he had been the idol of the house- hold then-and Frank an unimportant cousin. His father had always thought of him as destined to be a power in the community as his fore- fathers had been before him. The memory was bitter. Just then Emma announced lunch. At the table Frank remained aggressively boastful. I suppose you're still working for the street car company, Jolm- nie ? he asked finally. Johnnie said, Yes. You never were very adventurousf' Frank said smugly. I could never bear to do the same thing over and over again. Another differ- ence between us, I never would take orders from any lnan. You would even let the corral-hands boss you around. You know, I think ll12llL,S one of the things that makes or breaks a man-whether he always in- sists on being on top or will allow other men to walk over him. I never took an order from another man in my life-unless I wanted to. Finally the meal was finished and Johnnie dully picked up his hat Zllld turned to say goodbye. Going back to work? Frank asked lightly. Think 1,11 go with ou.', Y It won't interest you much, Johnnie said wearily. Oh, yes, it will, Frank answered. They started oif-Frank still talking loudly and Jolmnie feeling keenly the glances of those they met. They caught a car to the barns at the corner. The motorman was the cocky young fellow who had spoken to him in the office that morn- ing. As Johnnie dropped a nickel into the fare box for Frank, the youngster grinned at him and said, 'SNaughty! Naughty! in a mock depreeatory manner. Johnnie forced himself to smile at the boy as he followed Frank back to- a seat. Wl1at was he talking about? Frank asked curiously. It's-just a joke we have out at the barns, Johnnie answered with an effort. The boss happened to be on the car. I-Ie was a genial, scltleonfi- dent man, very much the same type as Frank. Jolmnie felt he could do nothing but present his brother-in-law. Frank immediately engaged the old man's attention, and the two were soon laughing together in a manner that Jolmnie could never have achieved. They ignored John- nie, and he felt their neglect keenly. It was advertising to the world the contempt in which they held him. The old man, still arguing hotly with Frank, stayed out in the barn until it was time for Johnnie to take out his ear. The Bell 55 Always before, Johnnie had experienced a thrill of importance when he took out one of the big inter-city ears and felt it give to his commands. It was as if his work of driving a Si1'CCl-C211' was of some use to the busy world. But today everything was different. His slight humiliation of the morning had grown to horrible proportionsg he not only felt that he was a failure in his chosen line of work, but also that the work was useless. His whole life had gone stale on him. He had lost his ideals and his attaimnents. And he was dog-tired. Frank insisted on relnaining 011 the outside platform with J olmnie. Although it was against the rules, Johnnie did not make him go in. He felt that his insistence on the point would be presuming, and he was too tired. Frank did not once stop talking. He kept Johnnie straining to translate his conversation during the entire time. About ten miles out of town there was a long, straight stretch of track on which it was customary to make up time. The heavy cars flew along it, whipping between rows of fruit trees. Johnnie acted as usual on this stretch. He gave the car all the speed she would take. The rails sang mctallicallyg the wind whistled by. Frank had to shout to make himself heard. Suddenly, as they neared the end of the straight stretch, another big car turned at full speed on to the single track and rushed 'toward them. Frank shouted aloud in horror. Johnnie con- vulsively clutched his brakesg his whole body became rigid. His teeth were clenched against each other so tightly he could feel the strain throughout all his jaw. As he began to tighten the emergency brakes, he knew it would be impossible to stop the cars before the crash. Be- side him, Frank suddenly screamed, Jump t Johnnie heard him open the glass door out of the motorman's cage, then the door slammed shut, but .I olmnie did not look behind to see if he had jumped. His desperate eyes were glued to the other car, so quickly rushing toward him. He saw the motorman on the other car jump. If he could only slow his car enough to reverse it before the crash! There might be a chance then. Still the wind sang by him--the other car quickly increased in size--Aa few feet-and then, crarsht I-,le knew nothing more. The next thing he noticed was a peculiar odor-extreme cleanliness, it meant. The odor immediately recalled the accident to his mind, and he noticed that he was very stiff. He had difiiculty keeping track of his thoughts. For a long time he did not open his eyes. At last he did. The first thing he saw was an aggressively starched nurse. She came toward him as the car had come-quickly growing in size until she was enormous. She was grinning. He hastily closed his eyes so that she should not crash i11to him. He heard her Walk away from him, and he opened his eyes again. She was not within his range of visio11. While he was still searching dcsultorily for her, she opened a door and re- entered, still grinning, followed by Emma, Frank, and-yes, the boss! Emma was crying. She started toward him, speaking, but Frank limped ahead of her, also talking, and Johnnie could not understand either of them. Behind theln he could see the old mann. The old man came toward him with his hands outstretched. Frank and Emma stopped talking and stepped out of his way quickly. Johnnie realized that he was about to be fired for negligence. Nobody could have prevented the accident, he said weakly. 56 The Bell I should say not, the boss cried heartily, 'Sand the company has you to thank, Johnnie Mendia, that there was as little damage as there was. Slowing that car was the only thing that saved a dozen lives. Frank pushed himself forward. Only reason I julnped was because I knew old Jawnie was per- fectly capablef, he said loudly. The boss ignored him. Ulf there is anything that the company or I can do for you, Jolm- nie, we'll be delighted, he said. Johnnie felt a sudden swelling in his breast. VVhatever had pos- sessed him to give way so completely to a tit of the blues? If you'll send one of the wops out to spade up my garden, I'll appreciate it, he said assuredly. Emma, don't knock over those flowers. MAHGERY Snour, January. 1925. fso:sin :-,eo Hoof Beats and Jim iii' 1: IM KING sat on the edge of a chair in his uncle's bedroom and lis- tened with all his might. A murmur of voices came from the room beyond, sometimes sinking to a whisper, sometimes swelling to a roar. Jim's eyes sparkled, and he leaned forward to hear the better. The conversation sounded interesting, and life had been rather dull since he had lJCCl1 in San Francisco. Even in the lifties life was sometimes dull. The voices grew louder, seemed to reaeh some agreementg and then came the sound of a gently closed door. The boy cautiously hitched his chair nearer the crack, then almost tipped backwards as the door suddenly burst open, and his uncle tramped into the room. He shoved his hat back on his head and gazed down at Jim. 'WVell, Jimmy, you'll see some excitement now. Tom Baker just told me that the Vigilantes will try Jenkins today, and there will prob- ably be trouble. We Vigilantes will have to lie low until we go down to the trial. Someone will probably try to keep us from going. Tom said that you could come along. He knows that you can keep a secretf' That'll be fine, Uncle John. Gee, it'll be good to have something to do. Life sure has been slow since I've been here. California isn't any more wild than Boston Common. You,ll see some action when we get started, Jim. lt's the last time we Vigilantes are going to stand for any funny business. The outlaws are taking the tip and clearing out ol' townf' His uncle sat down on a box, and began to read a six months' old newspaper. Jin1 wandered around the room and finally peered aim- lessly out the window. It was hard to wait patiently l'or something to happen. The Bell 57 Oh, Jim, the boat left this ll101'I1ll1g for Los Angeles. There were some queer-looking individuals on board, but we let 'ein go without lilly question. They'rc better otl' out of town, and that boat's the fastest O11 the coast. Thcy'll be carried far enough away. At the window Jim nodded indiiferently Ellld turned to stare out again. The scene was typical of a San Francisco street i11 the days of the gold rush. Bickety board walks stretched over fathoms of sticky black mud. Tent houses sagged dismally and stretched away, down the hill. Gee, here comes a man down the street in an awful hurry. He's coming here, Uncle Jim. Shall I answer the door? 'You'd better hide. He may not bc a Vigilante? l'll stay here. You answer it, and I'll be ready to duck if it,s some- one I don't want to see? As a knock sounded on thc door, Jim went to the door. and looked out cautiously. Young man, is your uncle at home? My name is Baker. Come on in, Tom. I didn't know who it was. Jimis uncle came forward and pulled out a chair. 1-Iaven't time, John. A calamity has happened. There's the dickens to pay. We're in a deuce of a mess. Jimmy stood unnoticed and liste11ed eagerly. It sounded promising. John, our prisoner just confessed that plans for capturing Los Angeles went out on this 1Tl01'l1lIlg,S boat! His pals were in cahoots with that Mex gang, and they skipped out this morning. They will get to Los Angeles and betray the city to the Mex's. Los Angeles is abso- lutely ignorant ot' this, and they've got to be warned. Thereas not a sailing boat on the coast that can catch the Santa Isabel. If Los Ange- les is captured, California will be a Mexican province again. XVe've got to keep her for the U. S. And 'think ot' those women and children down there. VVe've got to get 'em wordf, Jimis uncle turned darkly away. He clenched his fist and brought it down with a bang on the table. I saw those villains this morning. XVhat fools we were to let them slip through that way! Man alive, what can we do? A fast rider might have a chance to heat the boat, but we can't spare anyone. Thereis not a Vigilante that can afford to leave, and I wouldn't trust any one else. The two men stared at each other, then Jim's uncle began to pace up and down the room. NVe've got to get some one right away! There's not a minute to spare. But whom could we get?,' Oh, please, Uncle John. couldn't I go? I can ride, and I'd hurry and not tell a soul. Please let mej' Jim's voice broke i11 eagerly. Tom Baker laughed shortly and said: 'tYou're nothing but a kid. You wouldn't last to Santa Clara. Jim's eyes tlashed. and he straightened ominously. There, Jim boy. dontt get peevedf, soothed his uncle. You wouldn't want to go. Yet-I don't know! Tom, why couldn't he? Hc's a better rider than most men. and he can be trusted. XVe'll have to let him go. There isn't anyone else. By Jinks, I believe you can do it, 58 The Bell Jim. Get your things ready to start in half an hour. Think you can do it, boy?'i Sure can. I'll beat that boat. Will the horse be waiting for me ? Jim dashed out of the room, and Tom Baker looked anxiously at Jim's uncle. Do you think he ought to go, Jim? I-le's only a kid, you know? VVell, whom else could we have? The boy can ride, and heill get to Los Angeles or die in the attempt. He's a King, and we Kings keep our word. We can't waste any time. Well, I guess we'l1 have to. That Jenkins will sure pay for this. A door slammed, and both men turned as Jim raced into the room. Pm ready, folks. Youid better write a message to the L. A. sheriff, Uncle J ohnf, His uncle tore a piece of paper off a larger sheet and scribbled hastily on it. T here you are, Jim boy. Keep that, and guard it with your life. Now, you'd better start, and riide, boy, ridei' As Jim rode out of town, he heard the Vigilantes' bell beginning to toll. Men hurried out of homes as he rode by, struggling into coats, and jamming on their hats. Something was in the air, and Jim pitied the wretch who was trembling in the Vigilantes' cell. He dug his spurs into the horse, and left the straggling town behind him. He would change horses at Santa Clara Mission. The salt wind from the marshes tore at his hair and clothes as he rushed along. The cool fog wrapped him in mist, and he moved 'through a ghostly world of strange shapes and passed groups of dark cypress and willow. The joy of riding? Gralumph-galumph-galumph! The horse's hoofs beat time in the soft earth. Jim's mind was a blur of exciting events. The precious hours passed before his mind, and he lived again the thrill of being chosen as the Vigilantes' messenger. He swept through little pueblos, and peons ehattered excitedly at this impudent stranger who so unceremoniously scattered chickens and babies before his horse's hoofs. The evening came softly, and covered the spring day with a robe of gray. Beat-beat-beat-sounded the horse's hoofs in soft turf. Finally evening chimes pealed sweetly in the soft air, and Jim was at Santa Clara. He tumbled from his saddle, and slept for two hours. Then there was a fresh horseg there were shouts of farewell, and 'Jim was on his way again. Pound-pound-pound. Horseis hoofs on soft spring earth beat a tattoo in Jim's ears. A happy sound! He loved to ride. California, in soft spring garb, swept by. San Jose-San Juan- Salinas-El pueblo de Los Reyes- Another day passed-another- Leaden weights pulled at Jim's eyelids. Shooting pains went through his head. The beat of hoofs sounded monotonously in his ears. Endless stations glided by with hasty changes-hastier meals and a snatch of sleep. He must beat that boat. Paso Robles and San Luis went by. Jim heard that the Santa Isabel had been sighted off the coast. He changed horses more frequently then and ran them harder. The Bell gg 59 The hospitable ranehos all voiicelessly called to .lim to stay and sleep. The horses became obnoxious to his sight. He stopped a shorter time at each post. Oh, for more sleep, and, still the boat was going on to Los Angeles. Sleep! A vision to dream of! A mirage! A miracle that would be a welcome relief at the end of this grim ride, beckoned to him cease- lessly. Pound-pound-pound. It would drive him 1nad! The horse was a devil sent to torment him. But the blessed relief of two hours of sleep and a hasty meal came always at the next change of horses. Heat-cold-rain-sun-Jim experienced them all. Cold, biting rain and wind had met him at Salinas. A scorching, blistering, blind- ing sun accompanied him into Santa Barbara. On and on-on-on-would that pounding never cease? Jim clung to the saddle, and 'tried to shut out the awful sound. It was strange that he had ever liked to ride. But he still kept doggedly riding on- and on. I-Ie must be worthy of his uncle's trust. Faster! Faster! He must beat that boat. Why did the horse go so slowly? Slash! Down came the quirt with a cruel hiss on a heaving tlank. The boat must be sailing into San Pedro now. A sob rose in .lim's throat. A vision of the helpless Americans in the pueblo rose before his eyes, then vision of the ship inexorably sailing closer, closer, bearing the summons that would result in misery and death. Hi there, Mister! Has the Santa Isabel sailed into port? The stranger stared at the dusty disheveled questioner, and slowly, deliberately answered. Wal, yes, son. She was sighted off shore this moriv 1 But .lim had shot away down the road and had not stopped to listen further. On and o11! The boat must be landing. A shot whistled by his head as he rode i11to the outskirts of the pueblo. The first turn to the right! A big white house. Sliding hoofs in gravel and dust! Footsteps echoing in the patio! Sheritl'! Sheriff! Hurry. The boat! The Mexicans! Here, take this! And hurry! Oh, please hurrytv The panting horse came to a stop. Blue lights flashed before Jim's eyes. Something snapped in his heafl, and then,-a great blank. A cool, green room! The scent of lavender. A soft, hushed sensa- tion. .lim made an effort to rise, only to fall back on soft pillows. 'tAll right, sonny. You saved the day all right. Yep, I got the message. That's all you could talk about for days. i But the Mexicans! The boat! Did they-'i You got here two hours before the boat did, youngster. NVe got the Mexicans. Kind of a narrow squeak for us, Iill admit. You sure are some brave boy. For a little skeezies you certainly heat all. The cool green room seemed suddenly close and suffocating. A sof t pillow made one lazy. Oh, for wind whistling through one's hairg a long plain ahead, and a good horse! Say, sheriff, when can I start back? said Jim. 60 The Bell 'VVe Ride il? The rcwen itself was ltomtse that croulcecl the fatal eiztmizce of Dunccm within our battlementslu ANTA CLAUS in the flesh and purse ol' my father presented our harmonious household with a new Chevrolet on the first ol' Febu- ary. This deferred Christmas present caused much mental unrest i11 the mind of Tom, 1ny youngest brother, who was just at the ex- ceedingly awkward teething stage of childhood tseven years, not seven monthslj. And papa told him that Santa had been held up by a snow- storm! But Tom, being his mother's own son, swallowed this explana- tion and went to other sources for information. The following day at supper our family received this announcement, There aintt no Santy Clauslttt' 'tWlio told you such nonsense?', demanded Father sternly over his 79 1 CC ' Oh, Johnny Brown, returned 'lom carelessly. Pass the pudding, pleasetv Anil he added, as an afterthought, You needn't try to tell me there is, for t iere ain t. Grandma likewise regarded this new addition to our family as a catastrophe. 'tThese new-fangled vehicles are dangerousj' she expostu- lated. The idea of John's wasting his hard-earned money on one, when Peggy Cthat,s mel must be sent. to college next year. I shall cer- tainly not encourage such extravagance! And she certainly did not. On Sundays she actually refused to ride in the car except to and from church. So every Sunday one ot' us had to remain home when the rest of the famil Y enjo fed the weekl f excursion! So we Zmbarlced upon om? career as an ambulating family-the loss of Tonfs babyhood, and the acquisition of grandma's disl'avor! Daddy learned to navigate the ear on the dense sea ot' tratiic with much tluster. Then he took us for our first ride, Mother and he in front, both balanced expectantly on the edge ot' the seat, and Tom and I in the rear, as excited as they. I never realized that Mother knew so much about cars as she did. She told Dad how to drive and how to steer and how to avoid all the dangerous eurvesg she even informed Dad everytime a car drew near. Her Oh, John, watch out! l-lere comes a carl made even Toni and me anxious. Dad wasn't near- si 'htedt g At last Father turned from his grim position at the wheel and said to Mother, NVell, Mary, it' you know so much, you,d better drive your- selfli' This remark was nearly accompanied by an accident, for he just missed a ear that had whizzed around the corner. Don't you dare look at me like that, John! retorted lVlotl1er. 'I was only giving helpful advice t'orff! For the benefit of the undertakers! returned Dad crossly, as he swerved to the right and stepped on the gas to turn a corner. I-Ie always speeds up to turn. Keep still, now, and let me do the driving-or you can do it yourselftlt' And so Ilze ride came to a politely silent climax! The Bell 61 The next day Dad decided to drive to work, it was the first time he dared to attempt the trallic! Mother accompanied him, as she was going to the club to prepare for a meeting that afternoon. About noon Dad called up CI had just reached home for lunchj and said that he had just had a little accident. He had run into a dairy wagon, and the milk had all spilled out. The car and the wagon were at a repair sho 1. 1 Oh, Dad! You aren't hur't?,, I inquired anxiously. Not But my purse is, replied Dad. The bill will be about thirty dollars ! My! I exclaimed.

Poor Dad! VVhen told of the accident, Mother was only mildly surprised. IPS just what I thought would happen it' one of your disposition drove a ear. 1'm going to learn myself! And she did, with the result that Dad went without more than a Easter strawg he had to postpone his new suit for two whole months. I-Ie had to give all of his extra money to pay for a car Mother com- pletely demolished when she charged at it. Dad didnlt say much. Mother can drive pretty well now! She ought to-she's had lots of practice. Dad has had to repair the garage more than once, on account of Mothcr's leaving it through other cxits than the door. It still serves its purpose, even il' it docs look patched-up. Mother lets Dad drive now without commenting on his method. She is going to get her new hat after the last bill is paid, and Dad in his thread-bare apparel is smiling bravely!

HELEN DOOLEY. 62 The Bell A California Impression OCUSTS droned i11 the breathless air. The glare of hot rays on the dry grass was typical of the past dry days. Brown California foothills rose all about me, bathed in sleepy heat. A few scrub oaks of dull blue green seemed to emphasize the glaring expanses by their inadequate patches of shade. The grass rustled under foot. Locusts stopped droning at my ap- proach, only to start again when I had passed. A band of heat seemed to press down on 1ne as I trudged up the hills to 1ny destination. The great cliff danced dizzily in the blurred heat waves as I topped the last rise, and came face to face with it. My book and pillow seemed leaden, and, panting, I dropped on the dry ground at the foot of the rock. The top of that cliff seemed infinitely far away. It stretched up- ward-upward-a hot, sullen expanse of granite. It seemed an Hercu- lean effort to climb that towering rock, while the sun beat down out of a steel blue sky. It was suffocating at the foot of the cliff. I must move somewhere. I glanced down the rolling hills toward the ranch house. Silent, hot, stretches of breathless hills! I glanced up the face of the rugged crag. A faint undertone reached my ears. The wind in the pine! It was decided! I would climb that cliff despite the heat. Up I went-,up-up. Hot rock on hot hands! Blistering sun! Crumbly granite dust! The odor of crushed sage! Panting and exhausted I climbed upwards. The top! An old knotted pine in a granite setting! The pine needles made a soft carpet, and gratefully I stretched out on it. A soft breeze made the pine whisper, and the sun shone down kindly. The warm odor of pine and sage permeated the air. The top! Before me stretched brown range after brown range, undulating out in the hazy distance to the fawn and blue plain that was the San Joaquin. Behind me swept dark green ranges up to a tall white glory of Sierra peaks. VVith a contented sigh l arranged my pillow, and opened my books. oo:?:o THE MAN ON THE QUAY Give me a word, Old Sweetheart, on my sorrow: Send me a song-that song I loved lo hear. Now that I'm here upon the quay and brolren. Send me a song to turn me back the years. Time has flown, and Deatlz's around the corner. I've walked alone the biller endless years. Send me a song to speed my lonely passing. A flash of szznlighl llzrozzgh the mist of tears. Louis GARDNER.

Manalice King I-IE Girls' League of San .lose High School was organized in February, 1921, for the purpose of encouraging a spirit of co-operation and high ideals among the girls, as well as of pronioting friendship. This purpose has been carried out this year as successfully as in the preceding years. ln order to do this the Big Sister Department has held a party for the fresh- Inan girls at the beginning of each semester. OII the first day of each semester an inforination bureau for the freshnien was conducted. The Social Service Department has entertained the children at the HoIIIe Nursery, and also Illlllly old folks about the city. The School Activities Departnient has put on clever entertainments at the regular monthly meetings to help encourage athletics, drainatics, Inusic, etc. The Personal Elliciency Department held anti-cosinetic week in the fall semes- ter and in the spring a dressniaking contest. A party was given to the freshman girls with all reconmiended grades at the end of the first tcII weeks. The lintertainineiil Departinent furnished entertainments at the regular meetings, al parties, and at the Girls' Jinx, which was held in January. The Home Interest Departinent wrote notes and sent Heralds to the girls who had been out more than live days. The Decoration Department supplied llowers and plants for the oflices and teachers' rooms, and Inade May baskets for each roo1I1 oII May day. A Mothers and Daughters tea was held ill May, and also a picnic. 'l'he Girls' League adopted uniform dress in the spring semester, adding an amendinent to that elfect to the constitution of the Girls' League. 1 The Bel! - Moore Rhodegl Biseeglia Worden Bryant Pie WM ,sffv T110 121,11 69 Y K - ' - fi Y V va- -7 V , fbfjyvjf- I-,-J, , on U tlwix T, I i 1 l,Ify,.Qf-,Mt ID Q XFX .

HAROLD WEAVER I-IOUGI-I the Boosters' clubvlfsts not done very much this year, what it has sponsored has been highly successful and worth while. In the fall semester the club fostered interclass basketball and baseball, under the supervision of the athletic connnittee. The Jazz Party broke even as to finances and was a great suc- cess tfrom the standpoint of the audience, there being no lagging between events, and everything going oft' with a snap! VValter Hulsman, chair- man of the program committee, and Cecil Disbrow, chairman of the eats committee, did a great deal toward making the party a success. The first thing the club did in the spring semester was to have a clean-up day at Reed Field. Despite the rain a goodly lllllllbel' of fel- lows showed up and put the Iicld in fine condition. The Girls' League served the fellows with refreshments when the work was all done. The work was in charge of the improvement committee with Winlfrecl Rich- ardson as chairnlan, and Mr. Doerr as faculty adviser. The athletic committee for this semester, Cecil Disbrow, chairman, and Bill Martin, faculty adviser, is at present working on an interclass swimming meet which will undoubtedly be a success. The Boosters' Club is becoming a real organization! l. is Y I The Bell l Post Blesh Tesche Shoup Campbell Andrews A mori Reading J acohus Iliff Waldorf The B011 FALL JANET POs'r . .

During the last year the school produced plays in a manner that would do any professional company credit. On the whole it was one of the most brilliant years along Dramatic lines that the institution has witnessed since its birth. The successful year was largely due to three factors, namely: excep- tional interest and keen competition between the students themselves, line co-operation between the various departments of the school, and last but not least an ellicient and most competent director, Miss Irene Alexander. The Dramatic Year was opened with the presentation of the annual Vaudeville Show, in which each class in the school produced one of the nine len-lninute acts. This performance gave many students an oppor- tunity to exhibit their dramatic ability. This opening event was fol- lowed, in .l'anuary, by the Production of the Two one-act plays, The Monkeyis Paw and My Lady's Lacef' These were without a doubt two oxt' the most ditlicult ever attempted by this school, but were most ably done by the casts. The first halt' ol' the year closed with the Senior Show. The class of February ,25, produced the delightful comedy, The Boomerang, in an equally tine manner. The Purple Pigeon, written by Miss Irene Alexander and Mr. Matthews, was probably the most popular of the six productions, and was certainly well attended. The Purple Pigeon was the first pro- duction of the Spring and set a high mark for the following plays. The Class of June '25, produced the well-known Tarkington comedy, t'Sev- enteenf' on the evenings of May 8 and 9. The final production, Shakespeare's '6Merchant of Venicef' was one of the most masterful amateur performances that San Jose audiences had seen. Not only was the year a dramatic success, but those interested i11 Dralnatics are proud to state that their activity turned over to the general fund over three thousand dollarsg of this about six hundred was given to the Community Chest. 74 The Bell The Boomerang HE BOOMERANGQ' the production ol' the January class ol' '25, proved to be one of the best Senior Shows ever staged by the High School. The lines were catchy and had the audience guess- ing from one end of the play to the other, and the plot was one ot' absorbing interest. The cast was well balanced, and showed evidence of the fine coaching of Miss Alexander in the excellent way in which it interpreted its lines. The play begins in the ottice of a certain Gerald Sumner, who has lately returned from studying medicine abroad. He is altogether bored with life, and cannot understand why he must succeed in order to please his father and sister. His office girl suddenly attracts his atten- tion, and in working on the case of a certain lovesick Budd Wooclb1'itlge, they fall in love. The matters are complicated by the fact that Buddts fiance can't understand the strange treatment which is given him by Dr. Sumner. Also, an unscrupulous lawyer tries to win the affection of Dr. Sumner's office nurse, Miss Zelva, and thereby nearly causes the doctor to lose his mind as well as his temper. The part of Dr. Sumner was ably taken by James Stevenson, who showed a sense of humor as well as good stage technique in the por- trayal of this somewhat ditiicult part. Miss Zelva, taken by Harriet NVhitten, was also well acted. Harriet showed great ability to handle doctors as well as medicines. Budd Woodbridge, taken by Tom Topp, was one of the best parts in the play. Tom portrayed to perfection the actions of the love-sick youth, and seemed to show evidence of much practice when his relations with his fiance became agreeable. The part of Budd's fiance was well handled by Marion WlIl8l1S, and her piqued attitude made a perfect stone wall against which the love-sick Budd nearly dashed all his chances ol' winning her. Bob Hall as Preston DeNVitt, made a very unscrupulous young law- yer, whose only thought was to get his hands upon the fortune which Miss Zelva happened to inherit. Elwyn Bell, as Emile, the French ser- vant, showed his ability to interpret a ditlicult character part, and made many laughs for the audience. Hele11 Barr, as Marion Sumner, proved to be an altogether lovable and yet conscientious sister, who was prone to giving little lectures at moments that seemed to be ever so inoppor- tune. Margaret Bessie, as Gertrude Ludlow, proved to be every inch the tlapper, who just couldn't stand the sight of those awful knives and things. Bob Syer, as Mr. Stone, was again seen tottering around with a cane in one hand, and with the other all tied up in a great swath ot' bandages. Jessie Rice, as Mrs. Creighton NVoodbridge, made a very aristocratic, as well as a worried mother for her very love-sick son, Budd. The play was a success from the financial point of view, as well as the theatrical. Allen Burdick had charge of the advertising, Chester Latta of the tickets, Henry Gerdts of the scenery, and Bob Syer ot' the properties. The Bell 75 Seventeen, 9939 l'1VENTEEN, Booth Tarkington's intensely human comedy of life, love, and summertime, was delightfully produced by the Senior class ol' June '25, on the evenings ot' May 8 and 9, 1925. The title role, William Sylvanus Baxter, was admirably portrayed by Erwin Blesh. I-lis tight-tilting dress suit, together with his realistic interpretation of canines, brought much laughter from the sympathetic audiences. The part of .lane was given an almost professional por- trayal by Lillian Ralston. Vivian Rines as the My Baby Talk Ladyf' also gave a very intelligent interpretation of Lola Pratt. Ernest Bacci as the negro domestic, was more than pleasing in the character part, Genesis. Arno Dorr, Lee Ridley, and Clittord Murie in the parts ol' .loc Bullit, Johnnie Watson, and Wallie Banks, respectively, were also pleasing as the friends of the gang Margaret Hood as VVillie,s mother, was all that a mother should be, and certainly understood the trials of a seventeen-year-old. Mr. Bax- ter, F raneis Spinelli, who forgot his youthful days, was equally well done. The other old man of the play, Mr. Parcher, was ably taken by Joseph Ainori. George Cropper was taken by Frank Sauliere, who saw to it that he had his dance with Lola Pratt. May Parcher and Mary Brooks, friends ot' Lola Pratt, made up the remainder of the cast. The production was a iinancial as well as a dramatic success, and from its proceeds the expenses of the class were met. Much credit is due Ricardo Sagrera, who was responsible for the scenery, and to Gerald Jacobus, as he was in charge of the properties, and to Douglas Beattie, who took care of the business end of the production. The class wishes to express its appreciation to the owners of the canines who so greatly aided the success ot' the presentation of Seventeen 76 The B011 One-Act Plays QQ HONVING ability to interpret pathos as well as comedy, the casts ot' the two one-act plays, 'tMy Ladyts Lace and t'The Monkey's Paw, proved to be the most talented and most perfect in stage technique of any appearing in dramatic productions during the school year. My Lady's Lace was a delightful comedy, the scenes ot' which were laid in a Dutch garden on the estate of Mynheer Cornelius. The fact that Mynheer, played by NVillard Maas, had a very pretty daugh- ter, A11tje, played by Mintha Shelton, made Mynheerts garden a very popular place for the young bloods of the village to stay. Among those was Jonkhcer Ian, taken by Austin Ham. I-Ie was a very sophisticated fop who had just returned from Paris, and his endeavors to combine his Dutch nationality with his Parisian preferences made him a comic character indeed. By disguising as the daughter ot' an old lace maker, Antje gets a view into the character of Ian and finds it to be most dis- tasteful. All of this makes a clever colnedy, which was well produced. Virginia Curtner takes the part of Antje. The second of these plays, The Monkey's Paw, was a tragedy, and proved to be a sharp contrast to the lighter comedy. The plot centers around a monkey's paw which is supposed to bring luck. either good or bad, to its owner. Three wishes are made by tl1e White family, who are in possession of the paw, and the tirst is realized through the death ot' their son. The second wish is that the son be brought back to life, but when it- is discovered that he is still in the mangled condition caused when he was crushed by a tly-wheel, his death is wished for. Throughout this production the acting ot' Jeanette Owens, as Mrs. VVhite, was of the highest caliber. Her interpretations of the scenes that showed the love of the mother for her son, brought out the fine acting which she is capable of. Lawrence Bellis also gave a fine inter- pretation of his difficult character part. Douglas Beattie, as the 111ur- clered son, Marshall Hall as the old lawyer, and Frank Sauliere as Ser- geant Major Harris, all gave interesting interpretations of their parts. Both of the plays were very well coached even under the handicap of Miss Alexanderss illness. Miss Sloane and Miss Mills helped to coach the plays i11 the absence of Miss Alexander. The scenery was all made in the high school by Erwin Fiebelkorn, and would have done credit to any professional production. Ricardo Sagrero designed the artistic settings. The Bell 77 P I' he Purple igeonv LEVER lines. Catchy, melodious music. Clear dictio11 a11d enunciation. Remarkable amateur chorus. A well balanced cast, -such were the expressions of appreciation made by the en- thusiastic audiences that crowded the High School auditorium on the evenings of March 27 and 28, to see the presentation of the school's annual operelta. The operetta for this year C251 was The Purple Pigeon? The dialogue for this musical fantasy was written by Irene E. Alexander, while the music was composed by Mr. George T. Mat- thews. Both are, at the present time, members of the faculty of San Jose High School. Any attempt to single out any member of the cast as the Star would be very diilicult as each one of the ten principal char- acters portrayed his part in splendid professional manner. The character roles of the play were very intelligently interpreted. Scenery of the latest vogue played an important part in the successful production ot' The Purple Pigeonf' The scenery was designed by Halph Sorenson and Miss Simpson. Soft, blending costumes designed by Miss Stelling, together with wonderful scenery and exceptional act- ing made the production a dramatic as well as a financial success. The play was cast as follows: S An Ancient Bard-who is disposed of very early ....

Sounding above the hammers, the rasp of the saws, the slap-slap of paint brushes wielded by the Art Depart- ment, the voice of the thirty-six students composing the cast, Cilll be heard in any part of the auditorium, at almost any hour of the day. Enthusiasm prevails, with co-operation the key-note of the coming performance. A lovely new setting for tell me where his fancy bred has been composed by Mr. George Matthews, while the Art and Music Departments are all lending their hand to the Dramatic Department. with the hope of making this production surpass all l'ormer efforts. An adoptable scene, a conventional rialto, which can be converted with little change into a garden, an Italian palace, or a duke's court, has been constructed under the direction of Arthur XVilliams, this term's stage I11E'tDE1gC1'. Many novel interpretations have been woven into the various roles of the play by the coach. A special effort is being made in the great ensemble scenes for spectacular effects. The motto adopted by the cast has been, No little parts, only little actors? and this spirit will assume a production of which San Jose High School may be justly proud. The Duke of Venice .

Th ff Bell 79 ? WY mt HIE fourth annual vaudeville show presented on the evenings of October 2111 and 25 included a great variety of cleverly original acts. A new feature, namely the selection of the winning act by popular vote of the audience, was introduced. The acts varied from peppy jazz orchestra numbers to graceful dance acts, artistic in costume and lighting effects. The 9B act, Animated Adsf, centered around a boy delivering for a grocery store, who fell asleep. The songs and dances that made up the act were the personitication of the boyis dreams. A woodland fan- tasy, presented by the high freshman class, interpreted the Greek myth ol' Daphne and Apollo through an artistic pantomime dance. The boys of the vocational department were hardly recognizable in the robes of beautiful harem damsels in Lamp Llglltlllllgf, a clever act based upon the story of Aladdin. The 192-it Varieties, the perforlnance of the low juniors, was a snappy jazz act. The chorus was trained by Wanda Allen, who her- self performec'l a unique Chinese dance. The jazz orchestra i11 this act was exceptionally good. The low seniors prepared a beautiful costume review, Reflections of the Past. ln his dreams an old man saw the characters of two generations tramp from the mirror which reflected them in their day. The entire act was colorful and charming, containing a dainty toe dance and one of Douglas Beattie's solos. Brie-a-Brac, the high junior act, presented an entertaining glimpse i11to a picturesque antique shop. In The Toonerville Fotograph Shop Cfamily groups a speeialtyl. the high sophs introduced some of the old familiar faces in the family photograph album. In Henry's Pantryf, original burlesque by the high and mighty seniors, was another jazz act uniquely set in a pantry scene. The or- chestra was garbed as cooks and the chorus of pretty waitresses car- ried out the etfect. Much of the credit for the sucess of this show goes to Miss Irene Alexander, who faithfully coached the various acts. The 1924 Varieties, given by the low juniors, was chosen as winner. Reflections of the Pastv and mln I-Ienryis Pantry took second and third places respectively. 80 The Bell Spanish Play LAYING to a crowded house, the members of the Spanish Depart- ment completely surprised and thrilled the large audience in at- tendance with their exceedingly fine presentation ot' Zaragueta on Friday evening, February 27. NVorking under great dilliculties, the cast, under the able direction of Miss Miller, set a standard that will be hard to surpass. The most outstanding character was that of Orlando Sagrera as the hero, Carlos. The play being written in his native tongue, he was able to give the lines a very intelligent interpretation. Bertram Ralston as Don Indalicio, portrayed the part of the disagreeable old glulton in a very able manner. Pearl Eberhard as the wife of disagreeable Don, was also well done. Verna Palm, as the sweetheart of Carlos, was as pleasing as sweethearts generally are. Ogden Jorgensen in the title role, did some splendid acting. Don Saturio, played by Cyril Burbank, brought peal upon peal of laughter from the audience. The domestics were more than ably portrayed by Edna Gilman as Gregoria, and Henry Gilbert as Perico. Between acts a most delightful group of dances held the audience's attention. The iirst was a solo dance by Jewell Smith, the second a duet by Marion Hall a11d Ruth French. Few people realize how hard it is to produce a play written entirely in a foreign languege. Zaragueta was, however, so well done that the writer and many others not knowing a word of Spanish were quite able to follow the story and plot.

Torch and Laurel, the girls' honor society, is made up of girls who have both taken an interest in some activity and received recommending grades in their subjects. The purpose of the society is to Dl'OlllOt6 all school activities and high scholarship. Two joint meetings of Torch and Laurel and Crown and Shield have been held this year to award shingles to new members. Dr. Noel Porter of Trinity Church and Dr. Stevenson of the Presbyterian Church, gave interesting talks to the students. , Crown and Shield is the boys' honor society. Boys who are of fair schol- astic standing and good character, and have taken part in school activities, are eiigible for melnbership. The boys of this society co-operated with the boys ol' l-Ii Y, the Y. M. C. A. Club, in making the Good Speech VVeek a success. The com- bined meetings of the two societies to award shingles were held on January 7 and May 6. Crown and Shield and Torch and Laurel joined in giving a sprint sport dance, which was one ot' the best social affairs of the year. The Girls' Block S. J. Society is composed of girls who have won block S. .l.'s for taking part in athletics. This last semester the society has donated a steamer rug for use in the girls' physical examination room. Ten cent dances after school helped to pay for the rug. A banquet was given to the class A and B basketball teams, winners of the P. A. L. championship. It was an enjoyable affair and was well attended. This semester the, society has awarded numerals to the girls playing on the championship interclass teams. The Boys' Block S. .l. Society counts all boys eligible for membership who have qualified for the block S. J. Although tl1e Boys' Circle S. J. Society has been in existence for only a short period, it has now taken its place among the active organizations. Boys receiving a circle S. J. are eligible. The purpose of the society is to aid the coaches in turning out better athletic teams by encouraging participation in the athletic activities. The Science Club has maintained its reputation of being one of the most progressive clubs. Any student, who is taking, or has taken a year of Science, is eligible for membership. Lecturers were very difficult to obtain this year. How- ever, some very good lectures were given by Dr. Knoche, P. M. XVeddell, Mrs. Rice, Mr. Tillman, Mr. Shreve, Mr. Smith, and student members. The Debaters' Club aims to promote interest in debating. Participation in one debate is required for membership. Very important problems of the day are debated upon. A few of the subjects debated upon this year were: Resolved, that the Three-fourths Jury System be adopted in criminal proceedings, Re- solved, that the United States immediately grant recognition to Russiag Resolved, that the Water and Power Act as proposed in the November election be passed, ami Resolved, that the Child Labor Amendment be passed. The purpose of the Spanish Club is to promote the speaking of Spanish among the members. All the business ot' the club is conducted in Spanish. The qualifications for membership are: first, the student must have higher than fresh- man standingg second, he must try out before the members of the club. At each meeting there are short programs in Spanish. This semester the club presented a Spanish-comedy, Zaraqueta. The play was a decided success. The members have enjoyed several social afl'airs. Among these were a picnic, a theater party, and the initiations. Mask and Scroll is the dramatics honor society, and students who have won distinction in dramatics are eligible for membership. I The Art Club is a new organization in San Jose High School. It was organ- ized in .the fall semester of 1924. All students, who have taken, or are taking, art, are eligible for membership. The purpose of the organization is to further interest in and give a better understanding of art to the students. The meetings are held the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month.

Hli San .lose I-ligh School athletic teams had a very successful season in their respective sports. The teams brought home eight P. A. L. championships, and were runners-up in boys' C class basketball and girls' volleyball. The girls, tennis team also has a very good chance for the championship. Much credit is due the De- partment ol' Physical Education for its line coaching and untiring ellorts. Football this year snl'l'ercd for lack of gridiron material. Although C mach lVlartin worked un tiringly with the squad, he did not have enough in uterial lo turn out a winning team. Wlietliei' on the long end of the score or not, the team showed the same fine spirit throughout the sea- son that it has always shown. The girls' volleyball team lost the G. P. A. I.. by a narrow margin. The girls played for the championship against Santa Clara. This game ended in a tie, and additional time was required to determine the championship. The boys' 110 pound basketball team won the first P. A. L. championship for the High School this season. They were closely followed by the girls, unlimited and 125 pound basketball teams, which also won their championship. The boys' unlimited basketball team had a very successful season. The team was somewhat handicapped in the spring season by the loss of several of its star players through graduation. The competition in hockey was keen, and although the girls did not win the league, they iinished well toward the top ol' the list. For the first time in several years, tl1c boys, baseball team won the P. A. L. This victory was closely followed by the Winning of the Division B of the N. C. S. from Tamal- pais-Mill Valley High School. At the time the Bell goes to press, the boys have a fine chance of winning the N. C. S. The girls, baseball team was one of the eight teams that brought home a P. A. L. championship. The girls played in fine form throughout the season, and deserve much credit. The track team easily won the P. A. L. by a large margin and placed second in the N. C. S. Two of the stars of the track team re- ceived medals in the State Meet. The boys, tennis team had a successful season, winning the P. A. L. in singles and doubles. This is the third successive year that San .lose has won the P. A. L. in singles. The girls, tennis team has llO11C very line work this season and the chances are favorable for another P. A. L. championship. All unusually fine boys' swimming team has made this an interesting season. Many interclass games were played throughout the season under the auspices of the Boosters, Club. A girls' interclass swimming team was formed and brought swimming to the front. The girl tracksters have been practicing hard preparing for the big meet, which is sched- uled to come ofl' soon. The fifth annual running carnival was held at Reed Field May 16. F ourlcen schools participated, and three new records were made. Tur- lock was winner. This ended a most interesting athletic season for the San Jose High School. This was a banner season for P. A. L. championships, and San .lose may well be proud of her prowess. The Bell Hulsman Disbrow Portal Shambeau Blanchard Ogier Blanchard Ren zel Wade T11 e Bel I 95 Athletic Captains AN JOSE High was very wise this year in its choice of captains. On these leaders, to a great degree, depends the success of the game. Cec Disbrow, captain of the football team, genial and popular with the boys, worked unceasingly. Louise tBabeJ Blanchard was the star of the girls, basketball team. A skillful player as well as leader, she led the girls on and on through one victory after another until the final goal, the P. A. L., was won. Hurrah for Capt. Blanch- ard! A close second was Doris Hirsh, captain of the limited basketball team, who also led l1er team to the top notch of success by winning the P. A. L. fllhat.the boys' basketball team was not as successful as the girls was not the faulthof the captain, Ernest Ptenzel of the unlimited team, who worked hard and faithfully. Captain Bryant of the 120 and 130 pound teams, proved his interest in his team when, although he was just recov- ering from a severe illness, he attended the Campbell-San Jose game, and seeing lllS.lCit1ll1-lJCll1g beaten, donned a uniform and turned what seemed certain defeat to victory. Captain Cook of the 110 pound team brought his team up to the victory of the P. A. L. Helen Shambeau, captain of the girls' hockey team, proved to be a very capable leader. Although the girls did not win the championship, they had a very successful season. Olga Wacle, captain of the volley ball team, was, unfortunately, ill during the league season. Although they were handicapped by the loss of their captain, the girls rallied under the leadership of Mgr. Evelyn Olsen, who took the reins as cap- tain and carried them through a most successful season. The girls, baseball team, captained by Babe Blanchard, had a most successful season. The personnel of the team was excellent. These girls won the Southern Section championship. Ernest Renzel, as captain of the boys' tennis team, gave to them confidence and enthusiasm, 2l11ClY1S,,StEl1' player, helped to bring the team to victory. Florence Lee j.Ogier, althoggh one of the busiest girls in school as editor of the Bell, in rio ,neglected her duties as captain of girls' 'tennis team. The team was composed of star players and had little trouble in winning from its opponents. Capt. Ogier, with Mgr. Boothe, played first doubles on the team. Waltei' Hulsman was the outstanding star of the athletic season. He pole-vaulted at 12 feet 6 inches, which was a remarkable record. He led his team through one of the most successful seasons the track team has ever been through. Last, but not least, was Captain John Hunter of the boys' swimming team. He succeeded in bringing swimming up to a place of importance in school athletics. u QD fia- ,..-A . 17 The Bell 97 7 Wf lXXWQQlZK Qg.BW XW1WltIlll ulIISV i w X E f V I f x f 1 N v , Q f-Q 4 5 K - .s, .. -4 ' VNZWY' 'l V WTXSSS .., .... ..,,, H e ' V .',,- .

Few regulars were back in the lineup, and little new material was obtained. San Jose underwent a change of coaches just before the football season started, and when a new system is introduced the fellows always have to spend a little time getting on to it. The first game was with Hollister, and San Jose was found on the short end of a 12 to 7 score. The Purple,s line held perfectly, but owing to several costly fumbles and great gains via the air route by Hollister, San .lose had to be content with a single touchdown, which was made by Hulsman, after a pretty fifty-yard run. ' In the second game of the season, the San Jose lads handed the Santa Cruz 'team a 9 to 6 defeat. The game was very hard fought and was in doubt up to the last few minutes of play. Ed Hernandez booted a pretty drop kick from the eighteen-yard line for the extra three points that won the game. Disbrow made San Jose's other touchdown. San .loseis next opponents were the Stanford Frosh. The Babes niefed out a 29 to 0 defeat, and the wearers of the Purple played a decidedly defensive game, kicking whenever the ball came within striking distance. The game was interesting in that many of the San .lose alumni played for the Frosh. The score was incidentally the largest by which any Sa11 J ose eleven has been defeated in five years. San Jose continued in her losing streak when she met San Mateo, this time drawing a 28 to 0 score. San Jose was badly crippled by the absence, through injury, ol both Hulsman and Hermann. Redwood City got a win over San Jose by the very narrow margin of 3 to 0. The lone score was the result of a drop kick lnade in the last of the third quarter by Mettler of Redwood City. Disbrow's punting was a feature of the gameg one of his boots traveling over sixty yards. In the last league game of the season, San Jose dropped a one- sided contest to her ancient rival, Palo Alto. Except for a few minutes at the start of the game, San .lose was clearly outgeneraled. Captain Smith of Palo Alto was easily the star of the game. San Jose's lone score was Inade by Disbrow after he had received a long pass from Lupton. The touchdown was made possible when Wolfe intercepted a pass and raced forty-five yards before he was downed. The score, 17 to 6, was the largest that has ever been made in a Paly-San Jose game. San Jose played a post-season game with the Santa Clara Preps. San Jose came out on the short end of the score as usual. The score was 13 to 7.

OUPLING the loss of many regulars through graduation and in- eligibility, with the absence of their coach, Mr. Vogt, because of sickness, the San Jose boys, basketball team had too big a handi- cap to work against to win any league honors. The unlimiteds lost Beatty through graduation and Woocls, Fry, Benzel Ellld Disbrow became ninth semester men when the term came to a close. Thus handicapped, the team had to rely on substitutes for tl1e major part of its playing season. In the absence of Coach Vogt, Manager Ptiordan handled the team in great shape. The team won just halt' of the scheduled league games. It suc- ceeded i11 breaking even, with Palo Alto, Redwood City, and Sillllil Clara. The team won both contests with the San Mateo team. Many practice games were played, but since these were not league games, the team was made up of some of the ineligible players. The closest of these games was played with the Alhambra High School of Martinez. San .lose won by the score of 29 to 28 in an extra period. The schedule ot' league games was as follows: San .lose 97 Palo Alto ............ 29 San Jose ................ 18 Palo Alto ,,,,.,,,,, San .lose .,,,,.....,...., 3.2 Redwood City ..l7 San Jose .,..,.,. ..... 7 Redwood City Sun .lose ,,.,,,,,........

Captain Harry Bryant, who played on the C's last year, proved to be a dependable man when it came to shooting baskets as well as a great source of encouragement to his men while 011 the floor.

The D's an- nexed the P. A. L. championship, by beating the Redwood City team hy a score ot' 16 to 7. The C's were not so fortunate. They succeeded in winning every game but the last one with Redwood City, and thus they were the runners-up in the league. Joe Cook was the captain of the D's, and his work at forward was ,greatly responsible for the big scores that the team ran up against its opponents. Wade filled the other forward position, and always had his share ol' the points on the tally sheet. Niles played the center position, while Brodofsky and Trigwell filled the guard positions. The guards certainly put up an airtight defense, as is shown by the smallness of the scores which appear i11 the opposing team's column. Dark Horse Harry Bryant, captained the C's. Harry had to stay out of one of the games on account of illness, and it was because ol' his weakened condition that the team did not play at top form toward the end of its schedule. Bryant filled the center berth on the C's, and later played on the B team. Streiford and Borchers filled the two forward positions, and from the class that they showed, San Jose should have SOIHC good basketball material for the next two years. The schedule Johnson and Bloom filled the guard positions in great style. , and scores of the two teams are given below : SAN Joss OPPONENTS D scoRE c scoRE San .lose South San Francisco 18-6 23-5 San Jose Campbell 2-0 13-1 San Jose Santa Clara 31-9 18-8 San Jose San Mateo 11-7 14-12 San Jose Palo Alto 13-6 16-9 San Jose Redwood City 16-7 3-22 1 1 h I 'Sf 102 '14 Y YS if The Bell ...fl I! ffl lg. ff' 4 ' 7 l BOYS' CLASS C BASKETBALL Streifford Bryant lCapt.J Borchers Blum Miller Krauter The Bell - Bw BOYS' CLASS D BASKETBALL Niles Wade Bloom Brodofsky Tri gwell Cook Goddard GIRLS' BASKETBALL Warren Garro!l Cothran Keegan Boothe Miss Jones McCoy Blanchard fCapt.J McGraw The Bell 105 A v 1 3-ifmz' 'R.'D WO P. A. L. championships in girls' basketball were the rewards of a season ot' hard practice on the part of both the squads and the coaches. Both the Class A and Class B teams XVC11t through the P. A. L. season without a single defeat to mar their record. For the first time in three years tl1e basketball cup is again 011 the list of San Jose I'ligh's trophies. The Class A team was made up of Captain Louise Blanchard, Ger- aldine VVarren, Mildred McGraw, VVanda McCoy, Nancy Cothran, Mar- garet Carroll, Margaret Baylor, Florence Booth, and Manager Margaret Keegan. Captain Blanchard was the high-point maker on the team and was ably assisted by Geraldine NVarren. Mildred McGraw was the capable touch-center with W2lHClH McCoy and Margaret Baylor as ready substitutes. Nancy Cothran tllltl Margaret Carroll filled the berth of side-center. Florence Booth and Margaret Keegan proved themselves excellent guards, and were largely responsible for the small scores of the oppon- ents. The Class B team was eaptained by Doris Hirsh, who proved her- sell' worthy of the honor by piling up scores in every game. Helen Lindblom and Ethel Meyers also played forward positions. The center was taken care of by Frances Jewell and Clara Jane Brunst, with Meta Ebey and Grace Iliff ready to go ill at any time. Wanda Grit'fiths, Joyce Eaton, and .lunietta Miller were three husky guards. The successful season was largely due to the untiring eiforts of the teams' two coaches, Miss Jones and Miss Reardon, whose work was greatly appreciated by the squads. Practice games held with the strong State Teachers' College teams also helped to whip the lC2lll1S into shape.

N xx ,5 O '-.X Nlllilt Coach Martin the track team came through in fine fashion. For the first time in several years the Purple got its name in the final scores of the State Meet when I-Iulsman and Schmidt placed in their events. The team also won the P. A. L. for the fifth consecutive time, but came second in the N. C. S., losing to Berkeley by 3 points. Starting the season with Hulsman, Schmidt, Edmonds, T. Tignor, Perrin, and Hermann as a nucleus, the Purple defeated Santa Cruz by a score of 108-91. On the same day l-lulsman, Disbrow and Schmidt ran for San Jose against the Stanford fresh in conjunction with the pick of the athletes from all other P. A. I.. schools and garnered 26 points. This was more than the total score of the other schools combined. Although doped to beat their old rivals from Paly the local athletes were downed by a ten point margin. The limited team was also defeated by its old rival by nearly the same score. The Running Carnival was a great success as far as attendance, entries, ami times were concerned, but the weakness of the local squad and tl1e lack of a well balanced team was shown when it placed far down tl1e list with only eight points. Turlock won the meet with a total of 33 points, and Berkeley a close second with 28 poinis. Four records were broken or tied, indicating the intense competition. Busano, of Turlock, tied the 440 record, making the fast time of 51.8 seconds. Yeager, of Santa Clara, made the exceptional time of 10 flat in the cen- tury sprint and broke the previous record of 10:1. He was favored by a slight breeze, probably aiding him somewhat in culling ofl' the extra tenth of a second. Keeler, ot' Oakdale, tied Swede l,eidner's record of 16 flat for the high sticks. The relay team from Turlock broke the 880 yard relay, making the fast time of 1:34. The team was exceptionally strong in the pole vault. Hulsman consistently went over 12 ft. 0 in., and Simpson's clearances of 11 ft. 6 in. were exceptionally good, but his brilliance was greatly overshadowed by the former's remarkable ability. However, Simpson has another year, and he will then have his just dues. Schmidt was another consistent performer. His greatest weakness perhaps, was his poor starting, as a result he was much better in the furlong than in the cen- tury. With a good start, he would be almost unbeatable by any high school ath- lete in the state. Edmonds performed in the 100 and 220, but his favorite race was the 440 in which only one man in the northern half of the state could beat him. The man was Ryan of San Mateo, who finished in the lead the three times these athletes met. Perrin in the shot and discus was an exceptional putter, as his The Bell Simpson Schmidt Hulsman Edmonds Perren Wolfe Hermann The Bell 109 best mark of 46 ft. 7 in. will show. He looked like a sure second in the N. C. S., but was taken ill previous to the meet and could not put the missile out to his usual distance. Perrin showed very great improvement since last year, and Coach Martin certainly deserves 11111011 credit for developing this athlete. Hermann in the discus and shot, and Tignor in the hurdles and high jump, were both consistent athletes, and they placed well up in every meet. Foley and Heidrick, in the 880 and mile, respectively, were rather inexperienced, but showed much fight and im- proved a great deal as the season progressed. Leland cleared 5 ft. 8 in. in the high jump, and few athletes were able to nose him out in this event. The limited class team had two dual meets, breaking even. It won the first from Santa Cruz, but lost to Palo Alto. The two stellar performers were Wolfe and liogers. Wolfe broke the P. A. I.. record for the S-lb. shot with a heave of 48 ft. 9 in. l-le also performed ably in the sprints, hurdles and broad jump. Rogers' best events were the 100 and 220, but he was a consistent point getter in the shot. Many other athletes in this team will be fine looking material for the unlimited class next season. A comparison of the best records of the athletes of this year, and the best times made by former athletes running under the Purple and White, is published below.

A. L. title, as well as not being able to show its best form. Because ot' the interference of soccer practice with baseball practice, the t'ormer had to be abandoned, and hence the team was forced to drop out of the league. The team did very well considering thc hardships under which it played. The boys were forced to do all their own coach- ing, and naturally there was great difficulty in getting the team organ- izedg yet it never lost a game. The tirst game was played with Mountain View, and the San Jose bunch won by a 1 to 0 score. Although the score does not show it, the game was quite one-sided, and the locals wereat no time in any dan- ger. The second game was with Palo Alto, and it resulted in a 0 to 0 tic. The game was very hard fought, and it might well have been any- body's game. At'ter playing a game with both Pescadero and State Teachers' College, the team retired from the league. DeWitt Portal, who was both captain and manager of the team, deserves a great deal of credit for the showing made by his men. He played a steady game at right inside, and his management ot' the team, both on and off the field, was excellent. VVolt'e played a star game at center forward, as did Fry at lelft inside. Tate played his position at center halt' in fine style. and his long returns were features ot' every game -that he played in. Disbrow played a nice game as goal keeper, and he was greatly responsible for keeping down the scores ol' the opposing teams.

The Iirst league game ol' the season was played with Campbell, San .I ose winning three matches out of four. Santa Cruz was then defeated. Santa Clara lied the matches with San Jose. In the return game with Campbell, San Jose was Zlglllll victorious. In a play day with San Fran- cisco, San Jose once again won the te11nis matches. As the Bell goes to press, San .lose has yet to play Santa Clara for the championship, but unless San Josets team is shot to pieces, it has an excellent chance ol' winning the matches.

The girls started practicing early in the year and are now reaping the re- ward ol' their hard work. Miss O'Neil has worked untiringly with the girls and much of the success ol' the season is due to her fine coaching. The girls first won the central section championship. This game proved to be the most exciting one of the season. At the end of the seventh inning the score stood 10-10. It was decided to play until the lie was broken and the final score was 11-10 in favor-4017 -the Purple and VVhite. This victory was closely followed by the winning of the champion- ship ol' the semi-finals of the G. P. A. L., when San .lose played against the San Mateo girls. winners ot' the northern section championship, at Redwood City, the linal score being 10 to 4. Last, but most important, the girls won the G. P. A. L., when they played against Campbell on the Santa Clara courts. Due to the splen- did teamwork which the local girls showed, the game was won by the score ol' 13 to 8. The line-up was as follows: Louise Blanchard, captaing Alice Sei- fert, managerg Phyllis Benson, Florence McClay, Kara Loupe, WVanda Griltilhs, Bernice Jordan, Ernestine Getzelman, Clara Jane Brunst, Esther Blum, Eleanor llelldorf, I-lazel Gross, Rose Parise.

At the present writing, the local squad will play Alameda for the N. C. S. championship, and judging by the type of ball the boys played against Tamalpais, they have a fine chance to bring home the championship. At the beginning of the season prospects were not any too bright with only four veterans back in uniform. However, with Capt. Ble- then. Tate, Hinaga, and Harper as a nucleus, Coach Chittick developed the best baseball team the school has been represented by for several years. After winning several practice games, the team trounced Redwood City in the first league game by a score of 9-1. The potential strength of the team was demonstrated in this game, and the fellows looked more like championship contenders than they did in any of the other games. Although she was doped to win, Palo Alto fell next before the Pur- ple and White by a score ot' 7-6 in a torrid ten-inning game. The local team then overcame a hoodooH of several years standing and defeated the crack,' Santa Clara tealn by a score of 5-4. The longest game of the season was won by San .lose from San Mateo by a score of 5-4 when the two teams met for the championship of the B division of the P. A. L. The outcome of the game was not decided until Bradevieli scored on a perfect squeeze play executed by Shannon in the 13th inning. The squad from Morgan llill forfeited the final game for the league cham- pionship when ineligible men were used. The following week, the Purple took Santa Cruz, champions of the Coast Counties League, down the line by a score ot' 111-1, in the first inter-league game. By playing errorless ball and defeating T amalpais, the team has earned the right to play for the championship of the N. C. S., and as the Bell goes to press, seem to be the favorite. The school should be represented by a good team next year, as nearly the entire team will again be in uniform. Among those who will be veterans are Hinaga, Goddard, Bradevich, Norton, Palm, Pampalone, Gianandrea, Hunt, Danna, Lupton, and Belloli.

Although los- ing the lirst meet of the year 'lo the powerful Belmont team, they came back strong to defeat Santa Cruz 62 to 33, in the Surf City plunge. Later the team defeated Palo Alto High to the tune of 55 lo 33. In both these meets the local paddlers had things their own way. Curly Williams, manager of the team, was the only one from San .lose to place in the N. C. S. He took an easy second in both the 50 a11d 150 yard free style events tClass BJ. A fourth place in the relay gave San Jose a total of 7 points in the meet, placing the Purple fifth in the linal standing of tllC lC2fHlSgC11lCI'CCl. As this is being written a return dual meet with Palo Alto has been scheduled. The locals are favored lo repeat their win. The line-up for the dual meets this season was as followszz 50 yd.-B.

The meet was closely contested and resulted in the follow- ing scores: San Jose . . 22W San Mateo . . . . 19113 Sequoia ..... . 17 South San Francisco ..... 14 Santa Clara ........ 4 Two cups were awarded to San Jose: the Girls' Block S. J. trophy for winning the meet, and another for winning the relay. The girls who represented San Jose High School in the events are: 50-yd. dash-Helen Patton, Helen Lindblom. Soccer punt-Phyllis Summers, Louise Blanchard. Baseball for distance-Wanda Griffiths, Ernestine Getzelman. 200-yd. relay-Helen Patton, Helen Lindhlom, Ruth Dick, Mildred Simpson.

Chariot relay-Louise Blanchard, Lenore Pugh, Marian Gainer, Grace Iliff, Margaret Vortman, Christine Raithel, Mildred Simpson, Ruth Dick, Dorothy Lovitt, Ernestine Getzelman, Buth Shelter, Enid Oberg. Coach Josephine Reardon deserves much praise for turning out such a splendid team. She worked hard to put the girls in trim, co- operation and teamwork being the keynote of her coaching.

The students showed more pep and spirit than has been shown for many years. The cheer seetipns at the various gullies and rallies were more fully attended than ever. The singing of San Jose High Schoolts song has been practiced perseveringly and now it seems to show an improvement that is a fitting reward for our roolers' efforts. The execllency of our teams has, this year, caused the cheering to gain new and enthusiastic followers. Many students tried out for the position ot' cheer leader. An added attraction to many is the fact that our cheer leaders are given sweaters with an appropriate emblem. The leader is now chosen for the period of one school year instead of one semester, as was the previous habit. Inconsistency Qty The clock gave out its harsh alarm, You seampered out of bed.
