Then loud blew the brazen bugles, ' And their standards waved on high For the forces of old Ignorance Must yield once more or die. In the High School's grand battalion, 'Round the cardinal and white, Poured then in the lusty legions Quite blood-thirsty for the iight. There were seniors staunch and sturdy, Who had seen three years, or four, And the juniors dark and husky, They were not behind them far, But the sophmores' smiles and sunshine, One year's practice on their flutes, Yet we made up for their weakness, We the rough and raw recruits. When the muster roll was taken, And the official count came in, We were over eighty soldiers, Eager action should begin. Mounting wild steeds of Algebra, We scoured the Arabian plains, Uniting the science of reasoning With the keenness of our brains. With botany, history, and classic myths, We strove to.set memory free, That we might know the things that are, And recall what used to be. THE ARIEL Then, in the pauses between the attacks Uponqthe enemy's lines, We vanquished the junior's football team And enjoyed many glorious times. During the fights of this first campaign, We were led by a leader so true, That never a day in the field we lost, And we went through the thickest, toog She cautioned of swamps and forests dark, Where our thoughts might bog or stray, And she cheered us on in those fierce attacks, To the enemy's great dismay. She was always with us in pleasure or woe, In her thoughts we had always room, And deep in the heart of every mate U. E. F. will be carved till doom. But her aid was too great, our success too marked For commencing the next campaign, She was sent to command a weak brigade- We had won too much glory and fame. . With a mere figure-head to sign passports We plunged again into strife, Determined to let no illiterate hedge Obstruct our free path in life. The march was often rough and steep, And the enemy pressed us hard, Many a comrade was struck from our ranks, And many were deeply scarred. Bombs of aversion hurled in our midst Maimed some of our men for life, Stabbed with the steel of discontent Some quit the noble strife, And the poisoned arrows of idleness Dispatched by a lurking foe, Struck some of our loitering comrades, i Occasionally laying them low. Despite the foe and the rugged Way, HISTORY OF '08 A few have stood the test, And of the eighty that began with us, We are not quite forty left. We are the ones who defied the snares Of Ignorance and his bandg . We stormed his forts and prisons dark- Made his allies bite the sandg For we pried with the bar of Latin The slabs laid down by time, And released the voice of Cicero, And saw Cwsar in his primeg We unearthed much ancient knowledge, And unraveled the modern lore, And when there was nothing else to do We have even created more. Now there is only the final rush Until our goal we will gain, From whence spread out the ways of life O'er that high and fertile plaing And when we are roaming far from here, At times our thought 'll return To the heroic acts of the Nineteen-eights, In the four years we strove to learn. As for- the legions who follow us Up the rough slopes to Fame, We will leave our record of thirty-eight, For some other to put to shame. --Louis Robinson L...l -xgf ,..- t f lfrxsf fig? is 'N WHILE A GREAT CITY SLEEPS A, L HE storm has calmed. A pure, white mantle le vi covers the whole world, and all is still. The fi?-3 night is dark, but the lights, gleaming from the 'Y 'J . . . Q-he Q-gf windows and dusky street lamps, shining on the 2 ' GX snow, give it all an air of unreality. The calm, X' with the mantle of purity and chastity, softens the bitterness of the blizzard before. A young man slowly makes his way from the entrance of a brown stone front and more slowly staggers down the street. In the rays of a :flickering light his face is wan and creased with lines made deepby suffering. He seems dazed, with no idea what to do. He wanders on and on, heeding not his direction. though seemingly led by an invisible hand. The streets grow narrower, the houses dingier, the lights dimmer. He passes them all-on out into the darkness beyond. He stumbles over the tracks of the freight yard, blindly groping his way between the cars. At last he reaches the bridge and the night seems darker. A light snow has begun to fall. As his feet touch the wood, something within him stirs. But even as realization comes to him, an added shadow of bitterness passes over his face and a deep sigh escapes his lips, as though his heart were rent within. He cannot go back. He cannot stand the disgrace. No one trusts him. No one believes in him. He is so weary. But now he can end it all. Why are things as they are? Is there no God in heaven to save the weak? And he had been Weak. He was not guilty. He had been taken advantage of in a moment of weakness. But at last, at last- and almost joyfully he pushes back his damp hair and laughs! He is becoming wild. Is it with madness or with joy? And he rushes to the edge. There he stands poised. His eyes turn toward heaven. He Wavers-a cry break- ing the stillness echoes through his brain. He staggers back and listens. Low Weeping beside him makes him turn, and there, WHILE A GREAT CITY SLEEPS ll alone, unprotected, stands a little shivering child. He falls upon his knees beside it and hungrily draws it to him. The baby puts its arms around his neck and snuggles up close, cooing softly, murmuring innocent prattle. It is safe now. It has found a protector: but the man, suddenly realizing for what he had come there, loosens his hold, the baby clutches him tighter, pressing its sweet little face to his. Here is some one who trusts him im- plicitly. Here is some one who needs himg and murmuring a prayer to his Saviour, he passionately clasps the child and turns toward the city. Q In old days angels came and took men by the hand and led them away from the city of destruction. We see no white- winged angels now, yet men are led away from threatening des- struction. A hand is placed in theirs, which leads them forth gently into a calm and bright land, so that they look no more backward, and the hand may be a little child's.

PATSY J Q NCLE James had just arrived from his home in the Q wlwufm M country. After everybody had attempted the '71 impossible task of trying to ask and receive 5f answers for about twenty questions, in as many 'f fx ' 'fvlfsi seconds, I gave a second thought to the dog that ggf' - N-5 lay quietly under his chair and said curiously. Where did you get that handsome bull-dog, Uncle Jim? Why, he answered, I bought her at Eureka when she was a pup. I'll venture to say that dog has as long a pedigree as King Edward. She is supposed' to have all the best bull-dog stock in the world centered in her, but all that I care about her is, that she is as faithful as any living being. Talk about sticking closer than a brother! Well, that lisn't in it. Now don't take offense at that comparison, John, he said, lov- ingly, to my father. You are the exception that proves the rule. I'don't take offense, said father, smilingly. What you say is undoubtedly true. But how did you make her so faithful? I remember a letter which you wrote to me, about a year ago, stating that you had one of the most vicious bull-dogs that you ever saw. I don't suppose that is the one you wrote of, is it? Yes, answered Uncle James, this is the same bull-dog with a modified nature. She belonged to the children of Judge Town- send. As children will, they teased her until she was spoiled and finally bit one of them severely. The Judge would have nothing more to do with her and I bought her for a song. I soon repent- ed my action, however, as the little brute killed my thorough-bred calf the first day, bit the hired man the second, and when I at- tempted to punish her, almost bit me. Patsy's disposition grew steadily worse and she was a menace to everything and everybody. One morning I went out to the barn and there in a manager saw Patsy guarding a handsome pup. As I reached down to get the pup, Patsy snapped viciously at me. You cannot imagine my anger. I had resorted to every means in my power to gain her love, but all in vain. I resolved to kill her, and sat PATSY 13 down at the breakfast table in a morbid state of mind. Suddenly I heard low barks and ominous growls, and, on going outside I saw Patsy and Deacon Brown's mastiif engaged in a deadly iight. The pup had been dragged into the yard and was whining piteously, while his mother was slowly, but surely being beaten by the mastiff. The piteous cries of the helpless pup urged me to rush into the midst of the Hght. Not a second was to be spared. With all the grim perseverence of her breed, Patsy had fought her best, but even the endurance of a bull-dog has a limit and by the time I had choked her antagonist into submis- sion, Patsy lay on the ground a bleeding, mutilated piece of flesh, with a broken leg. No longer did I think of her beauty or of winning her loveg but moved whollyiby pity, took her into' the house, cleansed her wounds and splinted her leg. For three weeks she was helpless, but the trouble she had given me was well repaid. Her eccentric nature was changed. All the loathing and fierce hate in which she had held human being was changed into boundless love for me. Never for a mo- ment does she leave meg when I am seated, she is, as you see, under my chairg at night she lies in my room, and all this faith- fulness and love is paid for with a kindly glance and a little food. 'clsnlt that so? he said stroking Patsy's head, and she answered by licking his fingers. - Siamley Visa! Here's to the boy with the peg-top trousers, Blucher shoes and noisy tie, Here's to the boy who likes rough houses, Jolly boy of Santa Ana High. -Exchange SENIOR PROPHECY Items Taken From the Daily Prevaricator -News of the Week For the Busy Man ONDERFUL INVENTIONS-It has been many years it since a certain Luther Burbank made daisies intocrysanthemums, but Louis Robinson has U E Q1 since then accomplished a wonder which will soon make him world renowned: A turkey all AX made of second joints. ' , Bachelor Tax Bill-The bill to tax unmarried males of twenty-five years and over is trembling in the balance in the Senate. Miss Beulah Matthews is hurrying post haste to Washington to use her influence for its passage. It is said she wields a decided iniluence over certain Senators whose votes are needed. It is also rumored that she is personally interested in its passage. - Famous Authoress in Poverty-Harriet Barclay, a well-known American authoress, has been taken to the home for indigent authors, poets, etc., prematurely broken in health. For several years she is said to have lived on seven and one-half cents a day. Her best known books are, The Seamy Side of Life, Cram- ming, Woman's Rights and How to Get Them and She Stoops to Bow. Railroad to be Organized-Mr. Eugene Robinson, for years chief auditor of the Huntington system, has been engaged by the government at a princely salary, to provide a practicalsystem for running the railroads under government ownership. Although all passenger service is now handled by the Air Lines, yet an im- mense amount of freight is carried by railroads. School Teachers Meet-This past week, in Corona Del Mar, the National School Teachers' Association met in their annual convention. Many interesting papers were read, chief among SENIOR PROPHECY 15 them being, Was Shakespeare or Was He Not, by Ethel Wright, and The Control of the Emotions, by Florence Doig. Head of Missionary Society-Miss Virginia Burns, for several years taking charge of the Head of the National Missionary So- ciety in Greece, has returned to America. Call to theWild-eSti11 urged by the' old time spirit of her youth of never having enough to do, Miss Larter has been inspired to make an extended trip into Iceland to hunt for the lost races. Startling Death-One of the strangest deaths occured recently when the former Miss Elva Uttley was killed by having a cake that she had just baked, thrown at her by her enraged husband. It is thought that she died without suffering. At the Auditorium-The Auditorium was crowded last even- ing to hear Rev. Jim Smart lecture on, How I Made the Can- nibals Tremblef' Judging from the volume of his voice and the depths from whence it came, we do not wonder that they trembled. Nurses for the Orient-Last Week the Hasty Sisters boarded an airship bound for the Chinese Republic. They are going by special request of the Chinese President to establish a Red Cross nursing system in the Chinese army. ' Dr. Schroeder Advises Against Classics- High School gradu- ates are not gifted with sufficient art to enable them to play the classics well. This was one of the statements of Dr. Lillie Schroeder, the distinguished professor of dramatic literature at the Wellesly College, in a lecture on The H. S. and the Drama. 'Way Down West,' 'Barbara Fetchit' or 'The County Boss,' would be far more suitable, declared this estiniable Professor. Art Colony-Miss Wells left today to join the Art Colony in the South Sea. This unique colony was founded by this talented lady and is the absolute art center of the world. ' Noted Woman Suffrage Leader-Miss Edna Foote 'stopped here a few hours on her way to South America where she is to open her next campaign. W0rld's Fair at Tokio in 1930-One of the most pleasing features on the Midway is to be in charge of Mr. Saito who I6 THE ARIEL speaks sixteen languages. The greatest wonder of all is that he retains some little knowledge of the Japanese tongue. Local Politics-The field is full of candidates for, The County Chairman. It not yet known who is Dill's candidate. Developments are awaited with interest, for whoever Mr. Bruce Dill, the boss of the party in power COSBD supports, is sure of the oflice. e T0 Winter In America-A large crowd was at the depot to see the former Miss Yoch, author of To Flunk or Not To Flunk, as she and her husband, the Earl of Borneo, passed through on their way to their home in Watts. Painless Pat-ton-Madame Editha Pat-ton will tour this part of the state soon, advertising her wonderful hair restorer, which is guaranteed to grow without pain, 150 hairs aminute. Demon- stration will be given by the Madame herself. She has with her a large troop and will give free shows every night. The famous Madame Geneva Hossler has at last accomplished her heart's de- sire and is with Painless Pat-ton, giving readings from her collec- tion of touching incidents related in verse. Important Women's Meeting-An important meeting of the entire Women's League will be held at Rumble Hall next Thurs- day evening.

Tickets at 35.00, 33.00 and 32.00 according to space occupied. , Scandal in High Society-New York is intensely interested in the trial now being carried on, wherein Miss Nell Wait is bring- ing suit .against the new Senator from California for breach of promise. This Miss Wait, a noted vaudeville specialist and the Senator met some months ago in the select society of New York, and attracted by her extreme beauty as well as large fortune, he began paying his attentions, with tl1e upshot that they became engaged. But after the recent failure of the company in which Miss Wait's money was invested, the Senator attempted to break SENIOR PROPHECY 17 the engagement and the present trial is the result. Supreme Judge Reinhaus will render a decision and justice will be meted out. - Famous Actor Retums-Great pleasure is anticipated by American theater enthusiasts the coming year by seeing that world famous actor, Senior Hugh Julius Plumb, leading the melo- dramatic production, Bluffing Through College, written by Mr. Burt Winslow. The leading lady is to be Franciska Adams, who first became recognised as an actress in a play entitled, Left in Charge. Got Rich Quick-Mr. Maurice Enderle, once a street fakir, invested his few dimes in the Trans-Oceanic Airship Line and now his hands are full of gold bars and his pockets bulge with coin. A Benefit to Education-Miss Margaret Gallup has at last published a Latin pony which is bound not to buck. This may be attributed to her intimate acquaintance and youthful companion- ship with Caesar, Virgil and Cicero. Fighting Bob -The untimely illness of Bob Evans would not have been so deplored at the time of the cruise around the world in '08 if the veil of the future could have lifted and We could have known the greatness of our Fighting Bob McGee. An Atft of Charity-M iss Newcomer, known for her charity in lowly circles, has again brought her name before the public by do- nating a 50 cent hair brush to the Faculty of the S. A. H. S.

His in- novations are being watched with closest interest by the entire football world. New Peace Advocate-Since the death of Andrew Carnegie ten years ago there has been no active peace advocate in this country. There has recently arisen a champion inthe person of 18 THE ARIEL Mr. Clyde Butler, who bases his plan on a novel idea. He has figured to a nicety just how many pounds of energy would be wasted in a war. He figures that this cost of energy alone is sufficient cause for averting war. Extra! Extra!-tBy editor.D--Great interest is being dis- played in the forthcoming play by the Port Orange High School, which will give A Midsummer Nightmare, under the able di- rection of its very distinguished author, Mme. Nett Tolle. Negro Question-There was laid before the house some months ago a unique proposition for solving the negro ques- tion. In this paper Mr. Grady Clardy advocated that the negroes be deported to an island near the South Pole, discovered not long ago by Fighting Bob and guaranteed by him to be sinking so rapidly that Within two years there will not be a negro living. If the bill meets the approval of the House its passage in the Senate is certain as Senator Lee Daniels is strongly in favor of it. School of Modesty and Good Manners-A f school has been re- cently started by Elsie Parker, Gladys Lawton and Marguerite Hyde on a novel plan of training young ladies in the old time courtesies of the '08 period. -Nei!

The P- -, powers had. granted Wednesday the day for stu- '1,1 Y xi . . . . . fix! dents to view the fleet., Seniors wise in their M X N manifold distinctions, Juniors haughty, Soph- ,qt 45,5 ,mores foolish-looking and Freshies hopelessly mf innocent, thronged the car, pushing strangers and knocking into 'members of the faculty, who worn out from their week as diciplinarians, hung their heads dis- consolately. The car started. One block was traversed, when from out of the jam a shriek arose. Conductor! Conductor! I want off at Watts! At Watts! Watts! A smothered titter, a craning of necks and Ben1--- was discovered with all the glory of his auburn hair, seated comfortably in the corner of the car while two ladies stood by the side of him, eyeing his seat sorrowfully. The car stopped at the next block, Newcomers piled in, pushing and squirming. A subdued cry of Watts was heard, but no Ben was in sight. He was lost in the mass. Another block and a smoth- ered groan arose, feeble and indistinct at first, but gaining in vol- ume till the words, half shrieked, half cried were made out- HW-A-T-T-S-! Watts! Please let me off at Watts. The car started. This was too much for the suffering lad. With an agonizing cry he jumped up, knocked over those next him and shoved his way to the front where the .conductor stood. '!Watts! VVatts! Can't you hear Watts? I say Watts! Theconductor was a kindly man with a deep understand- ing of human nature. Taking the boy aside he explained about Watts and then called a member of the faculty and advised him to keep the child's attention from Watts by telling him fairy tales. This they almost succeeded in doing. Only fifty times during the remainder of the trip did the infant weep for Watts. And at last, when Watts hove in view, a sweet smile of satisfac- tion overspread Ben's fair face, and a sigh of relief passed over the crowd as he was tenderly helped from the car by the thought- ful conductor and his gentle friends. BASEBALL TEAM , THE TRAMP g -- HE snow came down in fine white flakes, which gusts of wind beat against the faces of passing crowds and then whirled into door ways and corners of the large department stores. Tired horses slipped on the treacherous cobblestones, 3 Wifi 5 but were beaten and whipped by their drivers to go on with their drays and delivery wagons laden high with packages and bundles of every possible des- cription. Men, women and children wedged and elbowed their way, crossing the streets as far as the burly, red-faced policemen, then rushing on whenever the slightest chance presented itself, only to be lost again amid the clang of the street cars, the incess- ant noise of the elevated trains overhead and the harsh rumble of wagons. Some bore tired, worn-out aspects, some absorbed in deep plans and prospectsg some indifferentg some gay and happy- most of them desirous of seeing the gaily decorated store windows, and nearly all laden with mysterious packages. For it was the day before Christmas -in the heart of a great cityq Amid the hurrying, jostling crowd was a man, lean and lank, with old ragged clothes. Casual passers-by would have called him a tramp or beggar, but upon closely examining his emaciated face and looking deep into his great brown eyes, one could perceive he was not of the lower class, even if his outer aspect bespoke him as such. He wandered, with an unsteady walk past the shop win- dows, with their alluring displays, which his passionate, hungry eyes gazed at longingly, down towards the end of town where the cheaper stores and smaller eating houses were. As he was about to cross a wide, crowded street, the man in front of him dashed on ahead in order to get out ofthe way of a large delivery wagon, which was just rounding the corner. In doing so he lost his grip on one of his bundles and it fell with a crash to the pavement be- low. The crowd hurried on, but the man with the hungry eyes 22 THE ARIEL had seen the episode. Waiting his chance, he picked up the package to give to the man who was hasting back in search of it. Upon feeling it he discovered it was china and had broke-n. A Sorry old pal, but I guess it's no good now, said the tramp handingiit to the eager, impatient man. Broken! the stranger repeated, Broken, and that was to be little Dot's Christmas present. I have no more money. Poor Dot! Oh! The last word was uttered with such an accent of anguish that the tramp looked up quickly, only to see the other man gaz- ing piteously at the broken fragments lying in his rough, toil- stained hand. The throng jostled past, but the two men on the street corner heeded it not. Dot! said the tramp. I once had a little girl named Dot-she-died. His voice broke as he spokex Here, putting his hand in his pocket, it's all I got, but take it pard and buy your Dot another present. The men clasped hands-and parted. The noise was deaf- ening, the snow was falling fast, it was growing colder, the crowds hurried on and the men were lost forever from each other. The next day there was great peace, rejoicing and happi- ness in the thousands of homes in the city, but on the last page of the newspaper was the small and insignificant item: A tramp found dead from cold and hunger on the door-step of R. Jones, Toymaker. No name, no clue, no money. , -Helen Young He looked a look, Then smiled a smile, She grinned a grin- They Walked awhile. -Selah THE TRIALS OF A STRONG MAN UA A- an VERYTHING seemed especially fragile. He WNW started up the stairs. Zip! The stair-casing gave way with a splintering crash beneath his Q step. He grasped the door knob and the door was abruptly yanked off its hinges. t Meeting a few of the fellows, he shook hands, but they howled with pain and nursed their crushed fingers. In the morning he had gone out to do his duty by the cow over at Murphy's, but carelessly brushing against her, the cow toppled over and roll against the barn. When he stopped to pull an orangeg the whole tree came up by the roots and fell over on him. ' What was the trouble? He was puzzled at his suddenly acquired Herculean strength which was proving so disastrous. He shut the window. Bang! Every pane of glass was shattered into atoms. He mounted his bicycle. Immediately the wheel was reduced to a mass of wreckage beneath his weight. He went out on the college campus to play ball with the fellowsg but he threw the ball so far that nobody could find it, so they put him out of the game. When he took hold of the railing to get aboard the street car, the car was pulled off the track, delaying traffic for hours. What was he to do? If he should accidentally brush against a down-town skyscraper, it mighti--- Just then the alarm went off in Jack Fenton's room of the Weston College dormitory. He awoke, stretched himself and said aloud, What a beast of a dream.

We have every reason for stating that it was one of the happiest and most prosperous years that the Santa Ana High School and THE ARIEL have ever witnessed. Not only has the magazine been published quite regularly, but both students and faculty have taken an interest in it. We feel also, that despite general comment, a more lively school spirit was manifest this year than has been shown for several years past. Students have taken more of an interest in school affairs away from home and in almost every case a fairly representative crowd has accompanied the teams. But students, the spirit is not yet what it ought to be. There have been de- ticiencies in several funds. Do not let this happen next year. Support your teams at home and abroad to such an extent that other schools may point to the great school spirit displayed by the Santa Ana High School. EDITORIALS . 25 ' The school has a right to be proud of her athletic ac- complishments during the past term. We are especially to be congratulated upon the Girls' Basketball Team which won the interscholastic championship of Southern California. Our Track Team has done excellent work, winning the championship of Orange County and We are proud of them. Our Baseball Team also shows itself capable of successfully coping with the most sturdy foe, and although deprived of the county championship. on a technic- ality, yet We expect great things of it. We attribute our successes in athletics to the untiring efforts of Coach Noble and to the con- sistent work of the individual players on the various teams. Keep up the good work S. A. H. S. In debating and oratory also we have been successful. Our team fought its way down to the finals in the Southern Califor- nia Debating League, which We lost to Long Beach on May 29. Although the team proper was composed of but four members, the practice afforded in try-outs and practice debates has given invaluable experience to many. For our successes we have to thank the members of the faculty and especially Mr. Tucker, for their aid. We may well be proud of the showing made by our representatives in the Orange County Forensic Contest, and may cherish for a whole year the team medal which they have Won. We sincerely hope that success will favor us in the future the same as it has in the past. The interest displayed in the literary clubs, shows that the Whole school is taking a part in this work, as do also the excellent orations which are each day delivered by members of the senior class. This latter affords excellent practice to the students and should be continued in the future. There is but one thing that the school regrets: The loss of the Senior A Class of thirty-eight. This class was the leader in all school activities and its members were among the representatives of the school in debating, oratory and athletics. But, although their presence will be missed, others will take their places and lead the school on to success. The entire school joins in wishing the members of this class of 708 good fortune on the journey of life, which they are about to begin. In preparing this publication we wish to heartily thank the members of the English department for the valuable assistance they have given us, as well as all students who have aided us and 26 THE ARIEL contributed material. We wish to thank the Commercial depart- ment for the work that they have done for the staff. We especial- ly wish to thank Miss Agnes Yoch for tl1e assistance that she has given to certain departments. We wish to thank Mr. Hickox for the photographic work that he has done for this publication ab- solutely free of charge, and sincerely hope that the students will show their appreciation. And last but not least we wish to thank our exchanges for continuing us on their lists, while we were un- able to send them our magazine. ' Next year the editors expect to see THE ARIEL again ap- pear as a regular publication. The students have shown and will continue to show their interest. They hope to see THE ARIEL improve constantly and continue to be more and more of a credit to the school. They do not recommend a smaller monthly publi- cation, but the continuation of a good quarterly edition-one that each student may point to with pride and say, This is my High EEE Too High It was the time when Ariels grow, When editors move with troubled care, That a youth with aims in life not low, Resolved to contribute something rare.

The game was played on the Santa Ana courts and the most notable feature of it was the rough play- ing of Orange. Santa Ana won by outclassing Orange in every particular of the game. The next game played was on the home court against River- side. The game Was one-sided from beginning to end, Santa Ana winning by the score of 29 to 6. Our girls met the Girls' Collegiate Team at Los Angeles in one of the closest and best games of the year. The Collegiate girls played a very scientific game, their team-work being perfect. Santa Ana played a more direct, less complicated game, and the final score stood 16 to 6 in favor of Santa Ana. The next day after the Collegiate game the girls went to Claremont and met their only defeat. The game was played in- doors and only five players used instead of the regular six. Not- withstanding these disadvantages our team played the college girls a fast, exciting game. In fact Santa Ana lead up to the last minute of play, except when the score was tied, which occured seven times during the game. Score, Pomona 21, Santa Ana 20. In the semi-finals, Santa Ana was matched against On- tario High, the champions of the Citrus Belt League. The game was played at Ontario and Santa Ana Won. The Ontario delega- tion lacked the true sporting spirit and disputed the decisions of the referee, but at the close of the second half the score stood 22 to '6 in favor of Santa Ana. 28 THE ARIEL After winning the semi-finals against Ontario, Santa Ana was scheduled to meet Alhambra for the championship of South- ern California March 7, but on account of Miss Yoch spraining her ankle, the game was postponed to March 14. The game was played on the U. S. C. court. Alhambra's players were tall, but they lacked team work, quickness and accuracy. During the first Santa Ana out-played their opponents in every phase of the game. In the second and third Alhambra took a brace and played hard, but they weakened in the last, our team winning easily 45 to 11. Our girls are now the Champion High School Basketball Team in Southern California. Good luck to them in the future. Track The Southern California Interscholastic Track Meet, held at Pomona April 18, closed a very successful season for Santa Ana High. From the beginning much interest Was shown in the work and under the direction of Coach Noble a good, Well balanced team was developed. In the sprints, hurdles, broad jump and long distance runs, We were particularly strong. Among all our good men Clarence Tedford Was certainly the individual star, as he has records of 10.2 in the hundred, 22.4 in the two-twenty, and 21 ft. 4 in. in the broad jump. Tedford ranks as second best in Southern California in the broad jump. Of the others Pumphreys and Whitney have done exceed- ingly well. In both the sprints and the broad Pumphreys isa close second to Tedford, while in the hurdles Whitney is in a class by himself. He has beaten everyone he has been up against this year and ran both the low and high hurdles in fine form and fast time. In the long distance runs Dill, McGee, A. Mansur and C. Mansur have broken all previous S. A. H. S. records. Following are the results of the County Meet and the scores of the others in brief: 120 Yard Hurdles-Won by Dill, S.

This statement cannot be limited to Santa Ana or Orange County alone, because the boys have one of the strongest teams in Southern California. The team is made up of men, all of whom are experienced handlers of the bat and ball. With hard and consistent practice, they have developed good team work and are striving harder and harder to bring the championship to the Santa Ana High4School. The boys have cast aside their old grey suits and are striving on to victory in nifty red. ' X Our boys have gained for themselves this year a record of playing the fastest game the world has ever known. This took place on April 18 when they won the championship of Orange County by defeating Fullerton High School by a score of 3 to 0, and in the time of 55. The team gained much practice from games played after school with some of the strongest teams in the south. Among these are Orange, Y. M. C. A., St. Vincent's Preparatory School, Occidental and Pomona College. The last two named being beaten by our nine with scores of 8 to 2 and 2 to 1, respectively. We have this year one of the best batteries in the south, DuBois doing the twirling act and Tedford acting as back-stop. The excellent manner in which DuBois has saved his team from many defeats cannot be told in words. He never fails to strike the batter out at the right time. Tedford, though a little slow behind the bat, is developing into a fast catcher. He is always there when it comes to getting the third strike and never fails to get the ball to second base to catch fast opponents. The work of Whitney and Vawters on the initial bag does not need much criticism. They are always ready to put a man out when called upon. Though once in awhile a pretty high or pretty low ball is thrown to them. they never fail to stop it. With Enderle covering the keystone sack and Tedford's good throwing, not many opponents manage to steal second. Enderle is most noted ,for his work in stopping' the hot grounders which come his way and getting the ball to first in time to get the man out. Shortstop is a good position and would be a fine name for ATHLETICS 31 Head, for he is short and he stops the liners in his territory and gets them to first in the twinkling of an eye. Vanderlip on the third sack is hard to beat. 1t is an un- usual thing for the hot liners, which always come his way, to go through him. Captain Vanderlip, who is naturally a fast man, has been lucky in getting and developing one of the fastest 1n- fields in this part of the state. Our outfield this season is the strongest that can be found in any prep school in the south. Robinson in the left garden cannot be excelled by any of the prep fielders. He is noted for his long running catches and his good wing. VVhitney, one of the fastest and most experienced men on the team, is always under the ball when it is knocked into the center garden. Last but not least is Eaton, the tall man, who attends to everything that comes along in the right garden. Eaton has won world-wide fame for his star one-handed catches. Substitute Newcomer has had very little substituting to do, but what he has done, he has done well. The way in which our nine handles the bat needs no criti- cism as can be seen from the table below, they stand among pro- fessionals in percentage: Batting and Fielding Percentages of the Santa Ana High School Baseball Club Season of 1908 up to May 20.

Even the girls have caught the fever and progress in the arts of serving, smash- ing and driving has been rapid. On May 16 the school tournament was held on the courts of the Knob Hill Club. Some of the matches were very close, Whit- ney in particular playing a good game, although he lost to Whelan in the preliminaries. Enderle played Well, but lost to Baker in the semi-finals. Baker and Whelan won out in the semi-finals and in the Orange County Tournament they Will play the doubles for Santa Ana High. The finals for the singles championship of the school are yet to be played oif between them. The results of the finals in the girl's singles was the great- est surprise of the day-Miss Yoch, who had been counted a sure Winner, lost to Miss Parker. Misses Parker and Yoch will repre- sent us in the girl's doubles. Wearers of the S. A. H. S. Monogram The following is the otlicial list handed in by Coach Noble of those eligible to Wear the S. A.

My name is John, but I am called Johnny- Jump-Up. My wife, Lily-of-the-Valley, died years ago and was buried in the shade of the Old Apple Tree. From that time until a few years ago, Rose, my daughter, kept house for me until Sweet William asked her' to wed him. The first day I was alone, everything went wrong. I broke a pitcher, and when I went to the Pitcher Plant to get another, I found that a Dandelion had knocked them all off. Then thinking I would have some eggs, I went to the Egg Plant, but they had all been crushed by some Lady's Slipper. As it had commenced to rain by this time, I hurried oif to put up the Old Hen and Chickens and drive the ani- mals under cover, but had the luck again to have the Cow Slip and fall into a mud hole and drown. I went into the house, feel- ing so angry that I whipped Daisy, my second daughter, with the Golden-Rod. But just then Jack-in-the-Pulpit came along and cheered me up. A Troubles followed me thus until Daisy was old enough to keep house for me, and then I worked until Four- O'clock, after whieh I enjoyed Sweet Peas. -Archzk Burke! ll llne aruneji ll Hollywood-Santa Ana Debate Santa Ana 5655 Hollywood 46Z. , ' Thus stood the marking of the judges when the last re- sounding echoes of Aoratory died away in the auditorium of the Hollywood High School on the evening of March 27. V It was Santa Ana's evening from start to finish. Having won her two preceding debates, she was determined that this, the third and last debate of the year, should be decided in her favor. The question of the evening, Resolved, That the Present Distribution of Power Between the State and the Federal Govern- ments Calls for Readjustment in the Direction of Further Central- ization of Power in the Federal Government, was one involving deep thought and much care-ful preparation. Stanley Reinhaus, representing the affirmative, spoke first for Santa Ana. In a speech replete with forceful argument and excellent diction, Reinhaus forged the first links in the chain which his opponents were unable to break. His easy grace and superior delivery, together with his strongly massed argument, made a very favorable impression. Clinton Carlox, maintaining the negative, spoke first for Hollywood. His speech was characterized by good argument and showed evidence of scholarly preparation but his delivery did not come up to the high standard set for the evening. Howard Hankey was Santa Ana's second speaker. In a speech ringing with sound, virile argument and- reinforced by a mass of references, he completed the chain of argument that brought defeat for the the negative. By his polished delivery and excellent diction Hankey showed himself to be a speaker of DEBATING 35 superior forensic ability, and by his thorough mastery of the sub- ject in hand, was able to break down many of his opponent's arguments. Dorsey Stephens was the last speaker of the evening. Stephens possesses ease in delivery, his style being a blending of the extemporaneous and set types of oratory. His argument was excellent and he seemed entirely at home on the platform. The debate closed with a short but effective refutation by Stanley Reinhaus. The best feeling existed between the schools and the Santa Ana delegation present was treated with every courtesy possible. This victory placed Santa Ana second in the list of the winning schools of the Southern California Debating League, thus making us eligible to enter the Championship Debate with Long Beach, whose markings exceed our own by a fraction of a oint. p The judges of the debate were Dean Porter of U. S. C. Law School, President Millspaugh of Los Angeles Normal, and Super- intendent Wheelock of Riverside. The Annual County Forensic Contest On the 9th of May nearly one hundred students accompanied our Forensic Team to Fullerton to cheer it on to victory in the Forensic Contest, and, as usual Santa Ana's superior forensic ability carried her through to victory and gained for us the team medal and the one for the Junior Essay. Miss Bernice Camfield, of Orange won the Declamation given by the Freshmen, Miss Aurelie Steward, of Fullerton won the stories by the Sophomoresg Miss Winifred Roberts of Santa Ana won the Junior essay, re- ceiving the highest number of points awarded anyone in the en- tire contestg and Miss Helena Kuhnle of Anaheim won the Senior Oration. ' The total number of points received by each school was as follows: Santa Ana 1095 Fullerton 1086 Orange 1081 Anaheim 1080 We are indeed proud of our representatives, Miss Francis Bruner, '12,Ag Mr. Walter Henninger, '10Bg Miss Winifred Roberts, '10A, and Miss Nett Tolle, '08B. 36 Tl-IE ARIEL Wins Medal for Essay During the G. A. R. Encampment a medal was offered to the student of the Santa Ana High School who should write the best essay on Patriotism. This was won by Miss Kassa Bailey, '09B. The medal was awarded her after the raising of a beauti- ful fiag presented to the High School by the W. R. C. Championship Debate A On the night of May 29 we met Long Beach High School in debate for the championship of Southern California. The question was, Resolved, That France Should Adopt the Policy of M. ,Delcasse in Regard to Morocco at the Expiration of the Algeciras Convention. . Elmer Worthy and Stanley Reinhaus upheld negative of the question for Santa Ana, while Frank Robinson and Miss Anna Musseter upheld the aliirmative for Long Beach. A crowd of seventy-tive accompanied the team from here, while about 300 ac- companied the Long Beach team. It will suiiice to say that we lost, but we took our defeat gracefully. Although our argument was every bit as good as that of Long Beach, the speakers of that school surpassed ours in oratory, and they were awarded the decision 54 1-3 to 48 2-3. Frank Robinson and Stanley Reinhaus were awarded first and second place medals, respectively. ' Although we did not win the championship this year, stu- dent. do not despair, but go in to win next year. We shall still have two experienced debaters, Elmer Worthy and Howard Hankey and with those who have made a good showing in the tryouts, our prospects for the future are bright indeed. 70 if '7 f Al I 6, as Kiss? eil I Y if, Y. , f fhff 43 I f ,fy A A ,Y . . , r : 'fy L, ., ,LY f -f l 1- .

In Honor of Graduate The Senior B Class of the High School gave a pretty affair at the home of Miss Elsie Parker, with Conant Livingston as the honored guest. Mr. Livingston, who has been particularly active in school work, was president of the student body, editor-in-chief of THE ARIEL, on the football team, and helped win many honors in debates and other events for the High School, and the Seniors wished to show their appreciation of their 'distinguished class- mate. The affair occurred immediately after school and the hours till 6:30 were joyously spent in conversation, telling the fortunes of the young men and singing school songs. The 'OSA class, the post-graduates, Miss Fowler and Mr. Harrington, the class teacher, were invited guests. Buifet refreshments were served and the occassion was hugely enjoyed by all. V Athena Party The Athena Club of the High School had one of the jolliest and most successful parties that its members have ever enjoyed. About sixty-five girls gathered at the home of Miss Agnes Yoch on North Main Street, which had been prettily decorated in red, 38 THE ARIEL the High School color, and they made the house resound with merriment and song. Misses Kimball and King were the chaper- oning teachers. An impromtu program of music and recitations afforded glimpses of abundant talent among the girls of the club. Amuse- ments of various kinds were interspersed with the program num- bers and each guest received a valentine. The program included vocal solos by Misses Caroline Riesland, La Rue Fipps, Virginia Burns. Leslie Robertsg piano numbers by Misses Agnes Yoch and Marion Bristolg violin solo by Miss Nellie Hill, and recitations by Misses Nett Tolle and Elsie Morrow. Delicious refreshments of salads, home-made candies and cake were served. The evening was delightful in every respect. Reception to the Freshmen A pleasant function in the High School social circles was a reception given March 20th in the main hall of the High School building. The Freshmen A's were the hosts and the Freshman B's the guests. The hall was effectively decorated in the purple of the '11A's and the gold of the '11B's. An excellent programme was given and was greatly enjoyed. At its close games were played and those daring youngsters who wished to delve into the mysteries of the future, were told the strange secrets by a witch who held forth in 'a dimly lighted corner of the big hall. Delic- ious refreshments were served and a generally jolly time was en- joyed by all. The programme was as follows: Address of Welcome ..................

C arolyn Riesland Junior A Party A charming party was that of the High School Juniors held at the home of Miss Ruth Heil, April 3. It was a Leap Year, SOCIETY 39 April Fool event, and all sorts of jolly pastimes were enjoyed. A proposal game was one of the features of the evening, Miss Leslie Roberts and Miss Kassa Bailey cutting for the prize for the most acceptances, with Miss Bailey winning, but it proved to be an April Fool, as the box, presumably filled with candy, contained rock salt. Miss Hazel Baker took the prize for the most refusals and was indeed surprised at finding that the box contained real candy. Following this was a heart to heart talk, the conversation being carried on by the messages printed on candy hearts. Then there was quite a unique way of finding partners. Evidently fear- ing that the heart game had been too strenuous, the entertain- ment committee had provided capsules and within these were tightly rolled wads of paper on which were written prescriptions for various ailments. The girl who had the cure for the corres- ponding ailment of the boy, was his partner. Delicious refreshments which carried out the April Fool plan were served, and the evening closed merrily. B 3 Surprise In honor of the victory won by Winifred Roberts in the County Forensic Contest held in Fullerton, the 9th of May, the class of '10 A gave her a surprise by means of a party. After meeting at Edwin McFadden's on Main Street, the merry crowd hied themselves hence to the home of Miss VVinifred. Music and games were gaily indulged in until the long faces of the boys caused the girls to hastily make ready the dain- ties of ice cream and cake which had been brought with them. Ein Deutsche Verein A German Literary Club to be known as Der Deutsche Verein der Santa Ana High School, was organized by the pupils of the high school, March llg 1908.

Grady Clardy Entertained Class Mates Miss Lela Jackson was the hostess of a very pretty eight- o'clock spread in the Dragon balcony on the evening of March 11. SiXteen members of her class, the Junior B's, were present and her mother, Mrs. Jackson chaperoned the party. The table decorations and place cards were in violet and green. Sophomore Picnic This April, the combined Sophomore A and B classes had a delightful picnic to the canyon. A splendid lunch was enjoyed at the Orange County Park, and the usual pastimes, such as tobog- ganing, walking further on up the canyon and falling into the creek were indulged in, and the classes reached home tired but still hilarious. Miss Elliot chaperoned. Senior A Picnic The Senior A class, though supposed to be above the frivol- ities' of life, indulged themselves in a picnic to the canyon in Ap- ril. As usual, the lunch-generally the most important part of a picnic, to a boy, at least-was eaten at the picnic gronds and thor- oughly appreciated, the only detriment to general enjoyment be- ing sandvviches filled with mustard, and the Senior A's are now on the lookout for the person who was so cruel. The more tireless members of the class Walked to Robber's Cave, and the return home, enlivened with- songs, was made in due season. Mrs. Deck- er proved a charming chaperon. SOCIETY 41 Basketball Team Entertained One of the most pleasant occasions that our Girls' Basket- fball team enjoyed during all the variations of their strenuous sea- son this year, was the enjoyable afternoon given them by Superin- tendent and Mrs. Cranston at their home on Orange Avenue. The team was marshalled after school and proceeded thence in a body, where the time was most agreeably spent in games and conver- sation. The affair was given in commemoration of the fact that the team had won the Southern California Basketball Champion- ship this year, and it was indeed greatly appreciated by the mem- bers of the team and the coach, Mr. Noble, to whom the credit for their splendid victory is due. Delicious refreshments were served at the close of the afternoon. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Oakley, Mr. Noble, Miss Millward, Leslie Roberts, Agnes Yoch, Katherine Lutz, Olive Newcomer, Elsie Parker, Olga Conwell, Frances Conder and Edith Spangler.

' The Manzanita has good reason to be proud of our paper, as the editor remarks. The La Corona is a great improvement over the previous issue, but We notice that the ads are still mixed up with the joshes and the exchange column mingled with the stories. The result is not a very happy combination. The Olla Podrida of Berkeley High School has one of the most striking cover designs We have seen. The Ballad of the Faculty Baseball Game is interesting enough to make Chaucer turn in his grave. The semi-monthly publication the White and Gold, of Mills' College, is a uniique production. The objects are: to pre- serve the best literary production of their school, to represent all departments and to edit a paper of interest, not only to the stu- dents, but to outsiders. The first two of these aims are fully realized, but the same cannot be truthfully said of the last. The quality of the Black and Gold of Honolulu has much increased in the last issue. PATRIOTISM 43 The joshes and editorials in the Herald of Springfield, O., are the keenest we have received this season. Your cover de- sign on the last issue is especially attractive. Among other exchanges we are glad to welcome the Cricket of Belmont, the White and Gold of Hemet, the Sibyl of Riverside, and the Occidental of Occidental College. Patriotism Breathe: lhere lheiman, with sou! so dead, Who newer to fhimsey hath said, This is 7791 own, ngv naiivs land! True patriotism is not an emotion, nor is it an impulse, but a feeling born within us which should be cultivated and treasured. With some, patriotism is like their religion, carefully wrapped up and laid away, only to be brought forth on state occas- ions, such as Memorial Day, Flag Day and the G. A. R. Encamp4 ments. This is not true patriotism, for it is well known that any celebration may cause a momentary thrill, it is easy to become enthusiastic with others on these occasions. But true patriotism is that which inspires us to honor and defend our flag, respect our soldiers, and reverence our national hymns. ' . We must not think of patriotism in its narrow sense, that which manifests itself in war: true patriotism is that which in- spires man to perform the duty he owes his country, to do all he can to improve her government, to further her civilization, and to increase her prosperity and happiness. The history of a nation is written in the lives of her patri- ots. As we look back over our national history, we find our true leaders holding principle higher than gold, and striving to be statesmen rather than politicians. Let us so cultivate our patriotism that we may say with Lincoln: Let it be my proudest plume, not that I was last to desert my country, but that I never deserted her. -Mz'Zdred Mavzsur, 'IOA SE 1oR QUoT T10 S Clyde Butler- My mind to me a kingdom is.
