Finley Many years ago some of the graduates of the Santa Ana High who were interested in the welfare of the High School got together and formed an organiza- tion which they called the Alumni Association. As time has passed this organization has rapidly grown and the interest in it has grown in proportion. This organization does much to hoost all things which will better the school and community. But while the members are working they do not forget the social side of life, and this year all are looking to the animal dinner dance which is to he held at St. Ann't lnn early in June. As the numher of the Alumni increases, it becomes harder to keep an ac- curate record of them all. Many who have gone from here have made a record of which we may he justly proud. ,-5 I N N r t - -lv f 5 I I ' 1 t 71' L I . 7, .5 I, Page Eight r , .

CLASS HISTORY In writing a class history, and even the history of the illustrious class of 1922, it appears impossible to escape from using the trite reference to the green-ness of the class as Freshmen. However, it will be conceded that the green-ness of the class of 122 when it entered Poly High School in 1919 was a less verdant hue than the usual collection of newcomers. At the very beginning of their high school life, the students of this class dis- tinguished themselves by plunging immediately into the tremendous amount of war Page Nine ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 work that was so successfully conducted here in that year, and it was largely through the efforts of the Freshmen that such a great task was accomplished. Two misfortunes appear on the calendar of that first year. The first of 'these was the long enforced vacation caused by the influenza epidemic, which so demoral- ized school work. The second of these was the abolishing of 'fllube Dayf' After having had a tantalizing taste of its joys, the Freshmen were robbed of it for the length of their high school careers by the misdemeanors of some of the upper classmen. The second year of the class' duration was marked by few events of distinction. Probably the most important was the appearance at this time in different sports of those athletes who have since supported their school so capably. It was during the third year that the class became a strong and established factor in school life. Much credit it due to Floyd Croddy, Junior President, and Miss Henry, factuly advisor, who inspired cooperation in the class, and enabled it to be- come what it has become. It was here that the Juniors appeared to be in evidence everywhere, in all lines of activity in school life. ln athletics, forensics, class work and in a display of school spirit, the Junior class established a standard which will never be equalled. A great event of the year was the Junior play, entitled Tangles Untangledff which was cleverly presented, and the Junior Banquet, coming after the play. The class of 1922 has been always honored. ln the third year, the Student Body Convention was held at Santa Ana, and during the fourth year, the football team, composed largely of 522 men, won the Southern California championship. That alone should distinguish the class, for though it does not claim all honor for the suc- cess of that enterprise, it was in a large measure due to the efforts of the class that the high morale of the team and the admirable support of the student body were maintained. Capable oHicers chosen from the class made the Student Body a success and con- ducted student government well. The whole year stands as a line of triumphs for Santa Ana High School and the class of 1922 is proud to have had a hand in helping. The close of the High School career of the class was as successful as its other en! deavors have proved. The Senior class play, Mrs, Bumpstead-Leigh,', was well presented to an appreciative audience, most of which witnessed the Commencement, and the awarding of well-earned diplomas, which were accepted by Newton Stark, the class president. The class of 1922 has tried to establish a standard which it hopes will be suc- cessfully maintained by all the succeeding classes. It feels confident that it is leav- ing the guidance of the school to capable hands, and it will long hold dear the memory of the four profitable years spent there. , NK iw lei, at fi V9 2 Jjxllifgfk 4- Steffi f ' if L 'ff' Le' he ',,,,,,f.g...--0- A-'--W ,V-,L .fwwfl f V Pag Ten ARIEL S ANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 SENIOR CLASS POEM Hail to the class of twenty and two! Buoyant our bark rides the crest, Argonants, led by lure of the blue, Out to the isles of the west. Land of adventure, the Future, we seek, Atlantes hope to explore, , Claiming inheritance promised the weak, Leave we the homelands bright shore. Shoulder to shoulder, a right merry crew, We've toiled, comrades all day by day, Manning our bark, in fellowship true, As we sail from the sheltering bay. Teachers have piloted, true to the course, Compass and chart to us given, Whether our quest brings us joy or remorse, Will be proof of the measure we've striven. Now the first knot of our voyage is near, The narrows will soon he passed. Forth cross the bar, through the breakers of fear, Weill sail on the ocean at last. Farewell dear S. A. High, beacon of light! As north star, constant thy Hame, As you guided us on through the fog and the night Weill follow the gleam in thy name. Forward-full speed ahead! follow the sun! Westward! unfurl every sail, Here,s to success of life's voyage, each one, '22 Classmates, All Hail! if f Page Eleven Page Twelve AR 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 20. .1 dbz- e21ffLl'f 1fFf r l IEL SAQITA AQHA,-EIIGH soHooL 1922 William S.

Page Thirty- ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 COGNOMINAL POTPOURRI The KNIGHT of WINTER has risen, WHITE SNOW had gone, the grass was GREENE, when on his WAY a HARPER gay, started out to sing and play. He was LE BARD of 'HANNING town, a HILLMAN singer of some renown. Voice strong and ARMSTRONG too, RASH of action, but heart true blue, he'd WIN- SLOW, but sure, ,tis true. He started out at break of day, his goal the valley of HOLLOWAY. The BELL for noon just then had rung when he made his way into HAMILTON. There saw he the good men three, wheeling BARROWS across the LEE. These TUBBS of corn to the MILLER go, who drives one BATTEY, he is so slow. 'Tis time I ate,', the minstrel said, but I'm up a STUMPF, for naught I brought, yet sooth for a song it may be bought. Iill hie me SOUTHARD to the HALL ofthe GOODRICH BROTHERS, on them I'll callf, He made his way down HARVEY lane, whence he came into the country again. He walked ,till the sun sunk in the WEST, thru HAYHURST, WALWORTH, and OPP towns he passed. On the BEACH of lake WHITLOCK, by DUNSTAN grove he made him rest, nor farther strove. No MORRIS chair of ease had he, a cold wind came from off the sea. By a warm fireplace do some MENDOZA, but he, poor unfortunate, nearly froze. Since he was a SLEEPER, used to the ground, he soon was slumb'ring most prefound. HWATTS that?,' he cried with a sudden start. lt is a sound that chills the heart. Tiwas the mournful question of the owl, and the faint sound of the lone wolf's howl. He slept anon 'til the COX did crow, then the bard must up, and onward go. In the morning early-HA FINN I spy. It is a KARP, I'll catch and FRYE.,' As soon as his meal was finished, around the lake he skirted the brim, and come to a LONCMIRE, STARK and grim. 'Til COPE with this,', he said with a vim, such a WALKER as I can go far withinf' Both CRAWFORD and LEDFORD he crossed with ease, but now at last he is on his knees. He reached the PARKS of the NOBLE brothers, the NORMAN STOCKE- BRAND and worthy CULVER. They gave their permission to stay a year, and with his songs increase their cheer. A motley company gathered there, the old, the young, the brave, the fair. There were lords and ladies of high degree, baron CAILBRAITH, and lord HAMMONTREE. There were three from out the land of SCOTT and Mc- KITTRICK, MCDONALD and gay IVICDERMOTT. From their HOLMES o'r the country they had come to this place, to a display of good will, beauty, and grace, and after the fox and hounds to CHASE. For gone was the cold and all that was drear, now it was festival time of the year. The dress of the ladies was marvelous fair, with beautiful textures, and jewels in their hair. One had a LOCKET with setting of JASPAR, made by the COULD SMITH, OBERLIN THATCHER. RABE the TAYLOR had fashioned the gowns, which cost, no one knew how many pounds. Under FAVRO the STEWARD the food was sublime, for CAMPBELL the COOK, made the soup all the time, roast pork and DRAKE and barbecued steer, and sometimes served up the captured deer. In the fireplace a KIT TLE hung on a CRANE, from which savory odors came once again. Mid working and feasing the time passed away, until once more spring dances by on her way. Then the LUHR of the road called the minstrel along! so he 'went, to lighten all hearts with his song. LEAH CRANE, '22.

But too much jobilant jovility will jeopardize good judgment. So just a little of this jerky jargon and we reach the joyful, judicious Juniors. Wl16H the class of ,223 entered this school there was nothing unusual about it except its size, being the largest Freshman class to enter this school in its history. The first thing the Freshies did, of note, was to be defeated by the Sopho- mores in a sack rush. The next thing was to win the championship in baseball. Fol- lowing this the Freshmen decided to have a party. This was considered rather a success, as far as Freshman parties go. The following year he class did nothing of exceptional importance, except win the baseball championship again. No parties or social affairs of any sort graced this year. The third year was a little better. Perhaps the continued example of the class of twenty-two imbued some pep. ln the middle of the year they put on the best play that has ever been presented by a Junior class in this school. This was Millar- encef' a four act comedy by Booth Tarkington. A large crowd attended the per- formance. At the end of the year the Juniors assisted the Seniors in preparing for the graduation exercises and the Senior play.

Some stand shyly and squander time, in scintillating scraps of nonsense, some sit sadly in their seats, shocked at the scandalous scrapes of the Seniors, some center their affections on the seductive sportings of society, and soon are smitten, and sacrihce all semblance of sense and assume the slushy senti- mental habit of spooning. So they cease to be superficial scatter-brained shams, and grow into our sagacious sparkling Sophomores. THE CLASS OF ,24 Near the beginning of our Freshman year, a class meeting was held out on the bleachers. '4Bill Luck was elected president, and proved a capable leader throughout the semester. The first big thing which occurred, after social calls and personal greet- ings from the faculty, was the annual Freshman-Sophomore sack rush. This came off in fine style-fall except the outcome!-for the Sophs took the most sacks, and won the rush, much to our disgust. During the following semester, under the able leadership of Alice Rich- ards, as president, the class conducted itself most creditably, being splendidly rep- resented in the Orange County Forensic contest by another of its talented members- Nell Clinard. The next year we returned-Sopholnoresfand were able to drop some of our affected juvenile ways and act in a wiser, more natural manner. 'tBill Luck was again elected president, and again proved an able leader. This year, the class determined to win that sack rush, and started at it with such vim that the Freshmen were fairly 'Lsnowed under. This spirit prevailed throughout the year, and no other class could boast a larger, better representation at any student body activity than could the Sopho- mores. The following semester Lauraine Bowe was elected president, and shortly after this the annual class party was held.

Full many feel free to flirt most Hagrantly, and are frank to fix their features in front of furious teachers. Frequently they are found feeding their faces before a frightful feminine frown. Fractions and lighting they feel they are flawless, and so feed each other fantastic fiattery, until fizzling and failing they become furious. Then with fumbling stumb- linglfeet and mumbling, grumbling tongues, they finally fearlessly face the future firmly for the full flawless ideals of our now fortunate, sometime-to-be, famous Freshmen. The Freshmen were the first class to hold their business meeting and elect officers this year. Only lower classmen were in attendance and it was necessary to hold a new election. ' The boys held their meeting early this year to organize for the sack rush. Nearly all the Freshies went into the rush and it was a hard fought battle, but the experience and weight of the Sophomores overbalanced the numbers of the Fresh- men and defeated them. A large audience watched the performance from the bleachers by the light of the big bonfire that burned during the struggle. The next meeting of the class was held for the purpose of planning a party. This was a masquerade affair, held in the girls, gym at Poly High. Practically the whole class attended and made it a lively gathering. ln the spring baseball game with the Sophomores, the Freshmen came out a close second. The Freshies swung a wicked bat and clouted the horsehide all over the lot, but the superior fielding and footwork of the older boys carried the Sopho- mores through to victory. The Junior High track team proved to be easy victims for the Freshies this year. Practically all events were chalked up to the credit of the Freshies, with the exception of pole vault, which went to Johnny Trailer. ln the Orange County Freshmen Track meet, held in Orange this year, the S. A. Freshies were defeated by the narrow margin of TA point by Huntington Beach, the local B. V. D. squad taking second place. The honor roll his year contains the names of more Freshmen than have appeared there in a number of years.

' Itis purpose is to introduce good fellowship and harmony among the Students and Faculty and with other Schools. The Student Body has held many good and instructive assemblies this year, where music, lectures, plays and '4stunts have played a prominent part. This organization has made a success of Student Body Control, a movement taken up by the largest and most progressive schools of the State. Every student entering Santa Ana High automatically is embraced in this organization, and should do his best to uphold the high standard which has been set by those of previous years. Each student during this past year has co-operated, and in this way has made this year a banner year of the school, a never-to-be-forgotten one.

Self-government, or student-control, has become a standing factor in our school life. As our school has been growing larger every year, the advantage of having student control can readily be seen. It has been a great help in the supervi- sion of study halls by students, thus doing away with the employment of a teacher for the purpose. The students have ,to some extent, realized the advantage in having student control in study halls, and have studied just as well as when a teacher was in charge, and, furthermore, the student body is richer by a thousand dollars or more, which' would have to be paid out to the teacher. The self-government committees have done noble work during the past year, even though they have lacked the entire support of the student body. The committees can not carry on their work alone, but only through the co-operation and support of the students. Our system is not perfect, but it is as near perfect as we can make it. ln the years to come the committees of the past year hope to see their expectations carried out by the entire student body and the self-government committees acting as an individual, and not by the committees alone.

The club was organized for the purpose of interestingQhe girls, and bringing out their talents, in literature, music, drama, and art, and also of bringing them together socially. These aims have been accomplished in the semi-monthly meetings, where programs are very cleverly given by the various members, and in the annual masquerade, a marked success. THE ATHENA HALLOWEEN BALL The Athena Club members had a most upeppyv and ujazzyl' time in our gym on the night of October 22. Black cats, grinning pumpkins, -and wierd looking bats, scattered among tall droopy corn stalks, greeted the guests who arrived in queer looking shapes and sizes. Everybody entered into the spirit of the occasion with a great deal of Mpepn and enthusiasm, and it was not long before the shrieking and yelling crowd formed for the Grand March. This long serpentine twined in and out through the gymnasium and then finally made its way up through the horrors of that inky black upper region known to the most of us as the upper hall. There were two prizes awarded for the costumes. The first prize was given to us a very slender and wierd-looking banshee who was as tall as the doors, while the second prize was given to a charming little balloon girl. ' During the evening, those present were entertained by a very clever read- ing and a lovely vocal solo. The music then started and the girls were lost in a whirl of dancing until somebody said, udoughnutsln and immediately the music halted. Not only doughnuts were served, but also punch and a whole big box of apples. After nearly all the refreshments disappeared, the dancing was again re- sumed, but to the disappointment of all, the orchestra played that never failing old tune, and the Athena Halloween Ball was ended. Page Forty-one t,! l'N!f X I 4 GENERATOR As most of you know, the Generator is the weekly school paper in which all the events of schoolis life, from jokes to athletics, are chronicled. One of the chief events of the year, aside from the edition of theMDegenerator,w was the enlargement of the staff. It was felt that if some departments were divided into several parts, better results would ensue. Following this plan, therefore, a better and larger MCenerator,7 has been put out this year.

Generator Reporter Last year a new organization known as the Honor Society was established at Poly, At a meeting held the latter part of March of this year, a constitution com- plying with the regulations of the California Scolarship Federation was adopted and the abov officers elected. Henceforth, our organization will be known as 'iThe Honor Society, Chapter 13. To become a member, it is necessary to have fourteen points quarterly, a grade of one, counting four, a grade of two, twog and student 'activities from one to two points, with athletics counting the same. A sumptuous banquet is held annually, at which officers are elected for the coming year and further business transacted. ' One of the purposes of the Honor Society is to create an incentive among the students for better work. Although t.he club is still young, we have already seen that it promises to do much in the future.

Since many underclassmen members have already shown their ability in argumentation, Poly will not lack debaters for several years to come. t Page Forty-th ree LATIN CLUB Waltcmn Finn - - - - Consuls Dorothy Forgy - Constance Vegely - - Quaestor Margaret Hayhurst ------ ------- S criptor Latin is called a dead language, but anyone who has ever had the pleasure of attending one of the meetings of the Latin Club, would think that Latin was one of the livest of languages. This club is the oldest of the language clubs of the school, and is famed for the plays and programs which it periodically presents. Each class has complete charge of one meeting, and this maintains a healthy rivalry between the classes and promotes keenness as to which class can put on the best entertainments. The Latin Club is planning to combine with the other Latin Clubs of the county, in putting on an extensive program at Orange County Park at the end of the school year. The Foreign Frolics was staged by the three language clubs, and atgit the Latin Club took a noteworthy place. is i'QMa'fNQ. .ei-'N a aff' s , if -f N.

As a meanstoward attaining this object we have enjoyed several pro- grams conducted entirely in Spanish under the direction of Miguel Valeriano, a stu- dent in the Junior College from Honduras, and Miss Ruth Frothingham, the faculty advisor. At the Christmas program a playlet written by Mr. Valeriano was pre- sented, and also a very amusing school scene from El Palacio Tristef' by Martinez Sierra, directed by Miss Swass. With the exception of one part which was very well taken by an American student, the parts were played by students from Honduras and Mexico, whose aid the club has appreciated very much. As the club members are fond of a good time, the meetings have all been more or less social affairs with games and refreshments following the program. A picnic will probably conclude the year's activities. The biggest achievement of the club was probably the staging of a bull fight in Foreign Frolics, at which time the scene from El Palacio Triste was repeated. We also conducted a very successful Spanish Cafe in the Circus. This year for the first time the club members are enjoying the wearing of the club pin.

The members of the above assured us that there was noth- ing to itf, Of the modern languages, they say that there is nothing to compare with French, and they do not take into consideration any club with a dead language. At their monthly meetings plays, songs, and talks are given in French, and thus do the members prepare themselves to take a prominent part in the affairs of the world. French being the diplomatic language. A great honor was achieved by the French club this year when Alla Neely, the President, was requested to fill a prominent part in the L'lVloliere Fetei' in Los Angeles, where she represented France in the tableau. In the Foreign Frolics the French club took a prominent part, and so helped to make it the success that it was. IMI. Page Forty-six HAMMOND BELLE LETTRES CLUB The Hammond Belles Lettres Club was organized by Mr. ,lacksonis Oratory Class last year. The Club still retains its original purpose, that is, to give the mem- bers experience in extemporaneous speaking and knowledge of rules or order. Al- though the club still retains this idea it is far from being as strictly as literary as it was when it started. At the beginning of this year it was decided to have every fourth meeting a 'cparty night. These parties have been held at Deimling's, Finnis and at Forgyis. These have all been very interesting affairs and Mr. Jackson and his wife have ex- celled in making them interesting for the members. At other meetings, debates, readings and discussions, have furnished the entertainment of the evening. The debates and readings have all been interesting. Many of the interesting discussions that usually followed have lasted some time and have developed into some pretty hot arguments. There are about twenty-five members in the club and in order to give as many as possible experience the ofiicers have been elected every quarter. Conse- quently almost every member has held some oflice during the year. The four presi- dents of the year have ben Knox Finley, Walton Finn, Helen Stanley and Joseph Hayhurst. The graduating Seniors hope that the Juniors will follow up the good work of the club next year. We hope that this club may remain in the halls of the Poly for some years to come.

Better Music, might be the motto of this club, as it was or- ganized for that purpose. At their meetings every member is given the chance to hear and appreciate the best in music and also to take an active part in the program. , N L 'U it y .12 Page Forty Eight SWIMMING CLUB The swimming Club is simply another of the live-wire activities which the Girls league has started this year. This club is composed of over one hundred peppy S. A. H. S. girls, who visit the Huntington Beach plunge every other week, properly chaperoned and under the supervision of the Misses Isabel Anderson and Nellie Wilson, for the purpose of learning the enviable arts of smimming, diving, etc., and evidently of having a good time. On the 29th of April, this club put on a short lnterclass Swimming Meet, including dashes in which the best swimmer of each class participated, and various ustunt races,', which could be entered by any swimmer, good or bad. The following trip was devoted to another larger lnterclass Swimming Meet, which included a bigger, more varied array of races, all of which proved most entertaining. Since it was organized, at the beginning of last semester, we have held seven meetings, and in all, have felt that our purpose has been well accomplished. The development of this club will be a splendid thing for both the girls and the school, and an even larger membership is anticipated and waged for next year. r X 5 f Page Forty-nine CRIMINAL PSYCHOLOGY A class in Criminal Psychology was organized at the beginning of this semester for the purpose of training the student to combat successfully an apparently increasing tendency of the times. The class is under the instruction of a skilled detective who is delivering an enlightening course of lectures upon The Criminal Mindf, 'cHaunts and Habits of Kleptomaniacsf' Wllhe Public Attitude Toward Dis- honestyf' and The Modern Sherlock Holmesfi In connestion with this course there is also laboratory work, which has proved to be most interesting and valuable. The class is a new one, created to meet a long felt need. While no credit is received for the course, it will be continued from year to year, as long as the demand for it exists. It teaches character analysis, respect for law and order, and modern methods of dealing with those degenerate and pitiable creatures who lie and st al. Q??Si?4 wg B Mil ,A I Page Fifty STAGE CREW VAUDEVILLE Of course everyone knows about the movies which have been given in the auditorium in the past few months. But does everyone know just how it happened that we have the wherewithal to put on these shows, or in other words, just how it came about that we are in the possession of a magnificient, unsurpassed, honest-to- goodness projecting-machine? Anxious to purchase the movie machine, the stage crew put on two pay- assemblies. The first of these was ably announced by Harold Kniofht, and the fol- lowing program was given: 0 An Englishman at a track meet was impersonated by Carson Smith. Mrs. Brisco sang two lndian folk-songs, accompanied by Miss Parker and Miss Hardy. Next, Mr. Matthews, accompanied by Miss Parslow, played a very much appreciated cornet solo. Two of our hitherto unknown students were introduced to us as blackbirds, and it must be said that they certainly looked the part. If Shakespeare, after thirteen pieces of mince pie, had dreamed about 0thello,,, he might have some idea of how the aforesaid play could have been produced. We shall say no more than that the east included Boyd Sleeper, Carl Black and Ralph Adams. And it must not be forgotten that here it was that we discovered the marvel- ous soprano voice of Mr. Edward Walton, Esq. The second assembly was as enthusiastically received as the first. The same company of Shakespearean actors appeared, this time producing the Merchant of Venicef, much more aptly named 6'Tony from Wattsf, Music by Lizetta Phillips on the Xylophone and by ,lack Langley on the violin were other features of the program.

One of the ways in which itihas carried out its purpose is by the presenting of a cup to the grammar grades, and in this way the members hope to bring about competition among their younger bro- thers. The fence around the field has this year been completed under the super- vision of this organization.

The club was organized in October by several students who were interested in the general subject of engineering. The object of the club is to promote interest in shop and science subjects, the membership being limited to Juniors and Seniors, who have had at least one year of shop subjects. The members are entertained at the meetings by talks and discussions on present-day problems and projects of engineering. The club financed and constructed a complete radio receiving set and expects to put in a sending set. The club has also constructed a model steam engine and aeroplane. Mr. Alleman, the faculty member of the club, has had much to do with its success. With a record such as this, the club is expecting to accomplish still fur- ther sussesses next year. 'il f rj! 1 J Page Fifty-three ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH scHooL 1922 MUSIC The music department of the Santa Ana High School has been a great success this year, under the leadership of Miss Shepard and Mr. Schillinger. The Music Appreciation class was, possibly, the most noticeable of all. Although many schools have had classes in Appreciation for years, this class is something new in our High School. Anyone who was interested in music was urged to join 'this class with the result that a number of citizens made a daily trip to the school just to attend the class in appreciation. The students were made familiar with many of the worldis greatest master- pieces, both vocal and instrumental. The instruments of a modern orchestra were explained in a very clear way, the voice and its range was also explained. This class is surely a credit to any high school. Our school was fortunate enough to have two orchestras this year, a Junior and a Senior orchestra. The Senior orchestra played at the Junior comedy Clar- ence and was almost as good as the play. Mr. Schillinger also had charge of the band. The band played at the opening of the new Central Market, and several times the boys could be seen parading up and down Fourth ,Street advertising our football games. The Harmony Class is a Junior, Senior subject, and is for advanced music students. Harmony is the grammar of music, so in this classlstudents learn to ana- lyze simple compositions and take the first steps in original compositions. While the class could not be expected to be as large as a glee club it has donesplendid work, every member being a sincere student. A Our school has three glee clubs, Junior and Senior Girls' Glee Clubs and the Boys, Glee Club. Their yearly operetta was even better this year than before. The Legend of Nacoocheei' was carefully directed and presented by Miss Shepard, assisted by Mr. Jackson. The f'Legend,' was written by Kate Fort Codington and J omes Robert Gillette. - Cast of characters: Geraldine Rodriguez ..... ..,.... S un Priestess Paul Brown .............. .......

The Apollo Club, the Appreciation Class, the Operetta, and all, were successful, and we hope they shall go ahead farther and better than ever next year. But this can never hap- pen until the students realize that they must support the Music Department as well as any other activity in the high school.

If such a distinction were recognized, most of the so-called drama in the school would fall under the latter clasification.

They were lucky in the choice of the play, Clarence,,' and in the talent which the play brought forth. ln mentioning causes for its success, it is altogether fitting and proper that here should be mentioned the name of the director, Ernest Crozier Phillips. Clarencew is a play essentially suited to a youthful cast. There were three parts which were dihicult to handle, that of Mrs. Wheeler, admirably played by Maxine Wilson, Mr. Wheeler, taken by Sam Mullen, and he not so important part of Hubert Stem, played by Edward Blake. The stellar role of Clarence was well taken by Harris Cloyes. The rest of the parts were well suited to the people who took them, or the people were suited to the parts. All discussion aside, it would be difficult to find a more fascinating Cora than that of Allene Shippe or a more irresponsible Bobby than that of ,lohn Bragg, Miss Pinney, the secretary, the maid, and the butler were satifactorily played by Louise Parks, Constance Vegely, Kathleen Trago and Elliott Best.

S Debating has been a big success this year, our debaters winning fourteen judges decisions out of a possible eighteen in the county league debates. During the past two years we won the county cup, and by winning it this year it becomes ours permanently. A large part of the credit for this year's success is due to our hard- working coach, Mr. Wlorthy, and to him and our debaters the school owes its con- gratulations for the hard work and fine spirit they have given to their work. The first debate in the county league occured in November, whe11 we debated the question, '4Reso1ved: That an immediate limitation of armaments is im- perative for the future welfare of the worldfi Wlendell Heil and Overton Luhr won a three-to-nothing decision from Orange, but our negative team, Mfggcille Wilscwll and Ivan Harper, debating at Anaheim, lost by tl1e same score. N , The second debate in this series occured in March, 1922, the question be- ing, Hliesolvedz That federal industrial courts be established with compulsory powers to settle disputes between capital and laborfi Our affirmative team, Overton Luhr and William Adamson, won a three-to-nothing decision from Huntington Beach by a score of 191 2-3 points to 182 1-3. At Long Beach our negative team, Roger Oessinger and John Donan lost by 182 points to 1.99. The result of these two debates were averaged together, so that they count as a single defeat. Our second debate in this league was with U. S. C. High School. Ivan Harper, Williairi Adamson and Overton Luhr upholding the affirmative side of the question, 4'Reso1ved: That the federal government adopt a plan of compulsory arbi- tration to settle labor disputesf' won by 197 points to 170. The last debate of this series was with Los Angeles High, April 21, 1922. Robert Lindley and Overton Luhr upheld the affirmative of the question, Mliesolved: That the United States should discontinue its policy of improvement of internal waterwaysfi We tied in this debate. One of the most important oratorical events of the year will be the Public Speaking Contest, which is being held this year for the first time. This is to be an Page Fifty-nine AwRIEL SANTA ANA-HIGH SCHOOL 1922 annual event which has for its purpose the encouragement of public speaking. lt will be open to all Juniors and Seniors. Public speaking is a very practical attain- ment, and it is hoped that many who are not in the oratory and debating classes will take part. Each contestant will speak for ten or twelve minutes on a subject of cur- rent interest. Five speakers will be chosen to take part in the final contest, which will come on May 12. The winner will be awarded a gold medal. The Shakespearian contest for southern California schools was held at Los Angeles on April twenty-first. The winners of this contest then Went to Berkeley to take part in the state event. Eleanor Thatcher and Ivan Harper represented Santa Ana, giving Act ll, Scent 2 from Macbeth. F ORENSICS Ferris Scott, Senior Marion Pritchard, Freshman Eleanor Adams,lunior Donald Fletcher, Sophomore The Orange County Forensic Contest was one of the great events of the year. Tryouts were held to choose the representatives of the various classes. Marion Pritchard was chosen to represent the Freshmen, and will give '4For Love of Mary Ellen, by Eleanor Hoyt Brainard. Donald Fletcher will represent the Sophomores and will give 4'Pan-Americanismf' by Robert Lansing. The Juniors will be repre- 7 sented by Eleanor Adams, who will read an essay on Growing Up. Ferris Scott, the Senior representative, will deliver an original oration. Leona Rabe will represent Santa Ana at the Pomona Declamation contest.

THE SENIOR CLASS 'PARTY One wet and dreary night will not be forgotten by the Seniors for some time, as that was the night they frolicked together. That eventful nighttmany a proud and studious Senior could be seen wading out to the hospitable Finley home, bent upon having a good time regardless of the weather. ' A good and snappy program had been arranged as a Mstartern for the evening, which included a reading, a vocal solo, and a short play, 6'Breaking the Ice, by Walter Wilson, who took the part of a frivolous young lady, and Samuel Millen, as a virtuous young military officer. Later in the evening the Seniors indulged in some games, which they had remembered from their Freshman days, such as '4Winkum,,' Musical Chairs and a '4Peanut Huntf, There was also a fortune teller present, who was able to foretell the most wonderful futures. Beware, some of you Seniors, she was able to see some of those wicked pasts of yours. Perhaps the best 'fthrilleri' of the evening was the auction block, where the Hbold onesn bought the Hfair onesv with peanuts and thus gained partners for refreshments. Who said refreshments? Yes, ,tis sad but true, those Seniors are as bad as anybody else when it comes to eating. They all heartily encompassed all that was good for them and thus the party of the class of purple and white came to a success- ful close. HAMMOND CLUB PARTIES The first party of the Hammond Club was held at Persana Deimling's home on North Broadway. Several boys outside of the club were asked to come since there are fewer boys than girls in the club. At about eight o'clock the members began to drift in until they were finally all on deck. Later refreshments were served. lVlr. Jackson also showed us some new games which we proceeded to play. At this time, Walton Finn committed a very atrocious deed, which almost resulted in a five in English. The second party was given by Walton Finn at his home on March 20. The main occupation of the evening was the old fashioned school. All the club members were dressed as ukidsfi and Mr. Jackson was the very severe teacher. Each one brought his own lunch and Mrs. Finn served hot chocolate. After spending three happy and delightful hours, we came back to our troubles once more. We are now waiting for May the 30th, at which date we shall journey to Dorothy Forgy's for another good time. Page Sixty-two ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 THE SOPHOMORE TACKY PARTY When it comes right down to brass tacks, everybody knows the Sophomores are are always right there, and being also sharp as tacks what is more natural than that they should have a tacky party? And so, the Sophomore'Class of '24, displaying plenty of the old S. A. High pep, gathered on the 17th of February in a room so beautifully decorated in the red and white Poly streamers that it took some imagination to realize that under the artistic disguise was only the old Gym, after all. Hark, hark the dogs do bark The beggars are coming to town, Some in rags and some in tags, And some in velvet gowns. The old nursery rhyme might well have been the whole scenario for the real moving picture show that filled the room, for every clothes-line, field scare-crow, and old attic in the country must have been made to ustand and deliver, and give up its worst to these vandals, who proceeded to have as wild a time as their attire and their hard-earned and grudgingly-given two-bits would warrant. After an exciting get acquainted march, which proved about as effective as an electric fan in a typhoon, 6'Little Brick Armstrong called the wild tribe together, and started it off on another rampage in some of those thrilling games without which no party is a party. Roars of fun, shrieks of joy, yells of glee, and shouts of laughter jazzed through the place for the next hour. With difficulty the tribe was subdued long enough to listen to an interesting program given by various members of the class. More games followed and quite late in the evening another grand march was formed to choose the tackiest outfit in the bunch. The judges, after a determined and conscientious study of the uncon- trollables finally awarded the prize to the utackiest of the tacky -Calla Gillette. Then came the long anticipated, final thrilliest thrill of the evening-the EATS --and the chocolate ice cream and coke soon disappeared. The tribe then gathered for a last and fitting rally, which ended in an echoing- Sophomoresl Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Sophomores! . CHEMISTRY CLUB n Some of the most entertaining and gayest of social events of the year have been those enjoyed by the members of the High School Chemical Society. Although just a side-line of the club, the social excursions have been a great success unsurpassed by other clubs in novelty and interest. The first of these events was probably the queerest of all due to the initiation which was done entirely with chemicals. All we can say is that the result para- lyzed all, yet utheyi' all wanted more, showing how they were fairly entertained. That this society has done its share for school spirit is shown by the good fellowship among its loyal members. If more societies like this were formed, the social life of the High School would be stimulated. Page Sixty-three ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 FOREIGN FROLICS The language department made its debut in the Foreign Frolics, staged the evening of March 10. The average person does not realize the immense amount of work necessary to put on a production of this kind. With this taken into con- sideration, the program was unusually successful and those responsible for its suc- cess are very much to be complimented. The program was opened by a play from Junior High, HLa Camisa del Hombre Felizf' The French club presented a comedy '4Anglais comme on parlef, The Spanish Club gave a scene from 'gF.l Palacio Tristev by Martinez Sierra The Latin club showed authentic Roman wedding ceremonies which ex- plained many of our customs now in use. The Latin club also presented a gladiatorial combat, watched by a most blood-thirsty assemblage of Roman citizens. Then came the long-heralded bull fight. When the heterogeneous crowd had finally settled down, the bull fighters entered, followed 'by a most harmless looking bull. Indeed, the bull was so peaceful that after succumbing to the courage- ous advances of the torreadors, he could have taken the place of the most contented animal in any pastorial picture. The program was closed by an exquisite French ballet whose members must have had a weird understanding of grace, to say the least. Quite worthy of mention was the music furnished by Jack Langley's orchestra. THE FRESHMEN PARTY O!--Ho! Again the '4Wee Green Ones are heard from. Those small but mighty, Freshmen celebrated their annual 'spree', with a masquerade in the gym. The Grand March started with a whoop and a skid, with Indians, soldiers, sailors, gypsies, and various other queer-looking specimens taking park. Of course there were prizes for the costumes. Marian Pritchard as Little-Bo-Peep carried off the first prize, the second was given to Doris Hill, representing a squaw, while Robert Gilbert as a Little Banditv captured third prize. During the evening the Little Onesw kept themselves amused by playing a few rip-roaring games. Ssshl,'-Then a silence-Somebody said Eats7'. Then there was no si- lence because those Freshmen saw before them hugs doughnuts and apple cider. Nuff Sed. Page Sixty-four , ' W !

This team, the result of three years of hard teamwork, coaching, and training, has brought fame and glory to the town and has given to the school a splendid reputation for fair play and clean sportsmanship. A To show the men their appreciation of them, the merchants gave them several banquets and presented to each member of the team a white Aero sweater. The school, to show its appreciation, gave gold footballs to the lettermen. Before reviewing the players and the games, it is well to mention the man to whom the greatest honor is due for developing the team!-Coach '6Spud Morri- son. For three years he has labored uneeasingly with the players to make the team what it Was. By his own actions, he placed before the team an example of that indomitable fighting spirit, careful training, and ciean playing that made them so famous, and the example he set will be remembered and will be helpful hrough life. Affl- Iyf I, Page Si xty-tire ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 One more man greatly helped to make the team and he deserves much credit for his efforts-Assistant Coach Ed Covington. THE TEAM Hats off to the team! The trophy-bearers of the Southern California Championship!-the best bunch of fellows that ever donned the moleskin for the fame of S. A. H. S.! Armstrong-R. E.-Brick always managed to get into every play in some manner-getting down on punts and tackling the receiver was his specialty. Not many players went around his end. Bell-R. T.-Calvin came to S. A. this year from Redlands and he certainly made a name for himself. He was an All-Southern man. At breaking through the line he had no equal and no opposing half found a hole througgh his position. Best, Ev.-R. C. Best, El.-L. G. The twins were All-Southern men. They were two of the best balanced scrappiest guards ever produced. The holes that they made for the backfield men were often large enough to drive a wagon through. Cock-F. B.-Bart was this yearls captain and was All Southern Full- back. When he took the ball and hit the line, it had to give, nothing could stop the big boy's plunging-- the boy that no team in the state could stop. Cravath-C-Jeff was All Southern center. The way he could break up punts, guess plays, and down the opposing player with the ball for a loss made all the other centers in the country look sick. He was one of the brainiest men on the team. .labs-F. B. or R. H.-Earl, playing in he backfield for his first time, developed into an excellent, fast, hard hitting player. He'll be a regular Bart', next year. Knight-L. H.-Harold was one of the best halfbacks in Southern Cali- fornia. As a defensive half, he had no equal. He had the wickedest straight arm of any man on the team and he often went through the line for large gains. LeBaird-L. T.-Harry was one of our best and fairest players. When he got started with the ball on a tackle around play, he usually went some little distance before he was downed. Stark-L. E.-Newt was another All-Southern man and the best end in the country. No man ever got around his end with the ball. His tackling was the surest of all the men on the team. Wilcox-Q. B.-Enie may be small but, oh, how he can play! He was the brainiest, fastest, slipperiest quarterback in Southern California. He was picked as captain of the all-Southern team. He will be the next yearls captain of the Santa Ana team. Williams-R. H.-Don was one of the best halfbacks in the state and would have, undoubtedly, made the All-Southern if he had not been out so much Page Sixty-six ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 because of injuries. He was certainly a bear at throwing and receiving the passes. The subs were almost as good as the first string men and they deserve much credit and praise for what they did. Without them the team would have been a fail- ure, for a team is just as strong as its subsw-as the old saying goes. These players were Carl Black, H. B., Bronson Buxton, H. B., Ted Coffman, E., Buck Fipps, G., Walton Finn, H. B., BuslVlcDonald, G., David Metz, E., Sam Millen, G., ,lack Stevens, T., Don Wasser, B. Our manager, Joe Smith and his assistant, Francis Selway, were very ef- ficient and worthy in their office. THE GAMES Pasadena O--Santa Ana 3 Our first game was merely a practice scrimmage'with Pasadena. The Los Angeles sport writers considered Pasadena as having the best showing for the Southern California Championship. They were entirely outplayed and outclassed, however, by the Santa Ana men, and the other schools began to take notice of us immediately. Los Angeles High School 7-Santa Ana 0 On the following Friday the team went to the city and played L. A. High in a pouring rain. The Pioneers made a touch down early in the first quarter on a criss-cross play, but after that Santa Ana outplayed them in all departments of the game. The wet field and slippery ball, which caused much slipping and fumbling, are all hat kept us from scoring. Cock's renown as a punter began in this game. San Diego 0-Santa Ana 14 . On October eighth, the husky San Diego team came to Santa Ana, expect- ing to defeat us easily. But, alas, for their fond expectations. They never had a chance to win during the entire game. Cravath blocked one of their punts in the second quarter and picking up the ball ran thirty yards for a touch down. Later onanother touchdown was made. All the schools, looking forward to the Southern California Championship, now looked upon us seriously as the other chief contender for that title. We were already in the limelight and our league season had not even started. Anaheim O-Santa Ana 55 - The following Saurday we played our first league game at Anaheim. During the first quarter the team could not seem to get started, 'but after talking it over between quarters, they got things figured out and began running up a score in machine-like fashion. All the men showed up well in this game. Whittier O-Santa Ana 65 On October twenty-second, Whittier came to Santa Ana and was beaten very decisively. The team was determined to use this game as a means of perfecing itself for the Fullerton game on the following Saturday. The light Whittier team was entirely incapable of withstanding the teriffic attack launched by the Santa Ana players. The halfbacks went through wide, gaping holes for ten to twenty yards on Page Sixty-seven ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 every play. Wilcox pulled the sensational run of the day, when he caught a Whittier kick-off and ran eighty yards through their whole team for a touchdown. Fullerton 0-Santa Ana 65 e This was the big game of the Orange league. If we won, we were certain of getting into the semi-finals for the Southern California Championship. Fullerton had been our stumbling block for the two previous years and the team was determin- ed to shake off the old jinx. The game was fiercely fought from start to finish, but at no time was the final outcome in doubt. Santa Ana's'fight, speed and determina- tion completely stopped the Fullerton team. Every Santa Ana player was a star. The team was invincible. Finally in the third quarter, Captain Cock plunged across the goal line for the only touchdown. Sana Ana had many other chances to score, but fumbles at critical times kept them from it. Harvard Military Academy 0-Santa Ana 17 In a practice game we defeated Harvard Military Academy and showed our superiority over the city schools. The substitutes played the greater part of the game 'because Morrison was saving the regulars as much as possible. Whittier lneligibles 0-Santa Ana 34 The following Tuesday we had another practice game with the Whittier ineligibles. It was a final work-out before our last county league game with Orange and every man on the squad had a chance to play. ' Orange .0-Santa Ana 9l On Armistice Day we played our last league game at Santa Ana. The team went wild and completely massacred the inferior Orange team. The back field men made yards on nearly every play. Now we were champions of Orange county and ready to be champions of Southern California. 1 Van Nuys 7--Santa Ana 55 In our first semi-final game wie used the regulars, substitutes and second team in an easy walk-away over Van Nuys. Black and Williams each made a sixty- yard run, and no runs made were less than ten yards. V an Nuys' touchdown was made accidently, when one of their men picked up a Santa Ana fumble and ran ninety-eight yards for a touchdown before the Santa Ana players knew that anything was wrong. Santa Monica 0-Santa Ana 13 On Thanksgiving day we met the fast Santa Monica team in a game which proved to be one of our hardest. lt was played at Bovard Field and a large crowd of Santa Ana rooters attended. The game was a hard struggle throughout and one of the best played and cleanest games of the year. To tell tl1e story of our victory is to tell about Nick Wilcox. He was the only man who'could make yards, when yards were needed, and both scores were made by him. It now looked as though we were sure to meet San Diego again in he finals for the Southern California Cham- pionship. Page Sixty-eight ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 Chaffey Union 74Santa Ana 2l Morrison used the subs at first but because of a Santa Ana fumble, which a Chaffey man picked up and ran for eighty-five yards to a touchdown, he sent in a few regulars, and the result was no longer in doubt. Chaffey fought hard and desperately, but could do nothing against our superior team. We were now ready for the big game on December tenth with San Diego for the championship of the south. San Diego 3--Santa Ana 34 On December tenth, we met San Diego at Bovard Field for the second time during the season. The Southern California Championship was taken. The mammoth San Diego team boasted that it would wipe us off the map and avenge their former defeat. At the first of the game, it looked that way. They started down to our goal line without stopping until they reached the five yard line, but here they stopped. S. A. had gotten warmed up and was fighting, and San Diego could go no farther. They then put over a drop kick from the thirty yard line. From then on they never had a chance. S. A. was unstopable. Bart Cock, the big All-Southern fullback, ripped the beefy San Diego line to shreds just as if it were made of paper. Wilcox's headwork was superb. Knight and Williams made large gains. The S. A. line swept back the San Diego line as the Santa Ana wind sweeps the leaves that are before it. We won fairly and squarely and the cry was On to the State. Bakersfield 35-Santa Ana 7 The following Thursday our team left for Bakersfield to meet them in the semi-final game for the State Championship. When 2:30 p. m., December 17, 1922, came, Sana Ana rooters were in the Bakersfield grandstands in fullhforce, confi- dent of victory. The game began, and during the first quarter Santa Ana outplayed its opponent. When the second quarter started, things suddenly changed and dur- ing that period Bakersfield accomplished the thing that no other team had been able to do. They scored twice. The third quarter passed with neither side scoring. In the fourth, Bakersfield launched a terrific air attack and scored again. Santa Anla turned about and did the same thing to Bakersfield. But the long trip, the long sea- son and strange grounds were too much for the team. They fought valiantly and stubbornly until the last whistle blew, ending the game and our hopes for the state laurels. But we are justly proud of our team. They went down with colors flying, desperately fighting on after all hopes of victory had gone. They played a wonder- ful game and did their best-and we are satisfied. Page Sixtyanine COACH SPUD MORRISON CAPT ELECT NlCK WILCOX CAPT. BART COCK ARIEL -SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 SECOND TEAM The second team won the county title again this year. Jack Remslxerg coach- ed the fellows on the second squad and he did it like a veteran. Chaffee Union heat the bunch once, but no other team was ahle to beat them. The seconds acted as the scrub team to the first team. Night after night the first team mauled the seconds around and the work of the seconds molded the first team into its final form. Many of the second team went on the first team at the end of the season. Lindley, LeBaird, Luck, Linsenbard, Loekett, Lewis, Sheets, Scott, Stillens, Ritchey, Clark and Martin were the mainstays of this team. This bunch of fellows deserve much credit for the work they performed in working with the regulars. 130 POUND TEAM Ray Adkinson spent his time the first semester coaching the 130 pound football team. This team played some good games and showed some real fighting spirit. They were beaten many times, but this only served to bring out their sports- manship. In the first two games, Hendrie fwho became ineligiblej did the passing and we won both games on this fact alone. At this time the 130 pounders conquered Page Seventy-one ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 the second team 14 to 7. The team was handicapped by many conditions, but we think that they made a good showing. John Bragg was given center position on the 130 pound All-Southern eleven in recognition of his ability. Watts, lVlclVlillan, Hoover, Rabe, Snow, McDonald, Bragg, Golden, Brown, Cook, Lancaster, Scott, Schuchardt, Hayhurst, Fritts, Webber and Matthews had positions on this team. g 110 POUND TEAM ' Lynn Crawford had charge of the fleaweight football squad. This band of pigskinners also won the Southern California title. They played quite a few games and lost only to Whittier state fleaweights. They won every league game. Carmack at quarterback and Fernando at halfback did some good work for the 110 pounders. J I s at FIRST TEAM SECOND TEAM ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 BASKETBALL From year to year the basketball team that has represented Santa Ana High has been steadily advancing. This year the team kept up its paceg but it was unable to hold last yearis position as the first in the county. The team was, in many respects, much better than that of last year. But there was one other team in the county which was better, and that team went pretty far towards the Southern Cali- fornia playoff. Thefirst few games gave many the opinion that Santa Ana had the county title cinched. Just then we lost Stark, Cravath and Coffman. This practically shatter- ed our hopes. Because of the long football season, Santa Ana went into the first game with only a week of practice. Capistrano, Huntington Beach and Anaheim all fell before our quintet. Then one afternoon we got into a friendly argument with Orange. The later camepout at the long end of the horn, but we claim that we had the better team. There came that fateful day, February 24, when we met Fullerton. At the end of the first half we lead by one point. Very soon afterwards Fullerton got her scoring machinery into action and won the game 34 to 25. It was just a case of a good team being beaten 'by a better one. AS TO THE CASABA SLINGERS: Carl Black--Guard-A mighty fast man-here, there and everywhere. Loraine Bowe-Center-A clean player-always had the fighting' spirit. Newell Cravath-Guard-A finer guard can't be found. Harry Dietrick-Guard-Plays basketball like football and played every game. Harold Knight-Forward-Captain-One of the fellows that got the digits. Lacy-Center-He always hit the ball. Warren Messing--Forward-Knightls pal and equal. David Metz-Guard-Another fine, clean-spirited fellow. Newton Stark--Center-Newt certainly showed 'em how to play while he was eligible. SECOND TEAM Lynn Crawford polished up our second team in basketball this year and he certainly did a fine job. They won every game they played without much difficulty. Porter, Fletcher, Howell, Lutz, Mortimer, Linsenbard, Sheets and Luck upheld the honor of this team, and they did it well. 130 POUND TEAM The lightweights did not have much luck this year in basketball. There were some good men on the squad, but they were not able to do much in this league. Watts, Golden, Fritts, Qgpk, Snow, Webber, Southard, Norman and Schuchardt played for Santa Ana. Cravath coached this bunch. 110 POUND TEAM The 110 pounders, under Peterson, played some good games. Beaty, Car- mack, Lewis, Fritts, and Lutz played on this team. V Page Seventy-four N TRACK ' Our track team this year was one of the surprises of the season. Consid- ered at first only fair, it developed remarkably and won the Tri-County Meet, placed second in the County, and showed up xcellently all season. Our star Relay team, composed of McFadden, K. Finley, Messing and Rabe fkneelingl was one of the best in the state. They won the championship in their class at the A. A. U. Relay Carnival at Redlands, beat all the county league rlay teams, and took third place in this event at both the A. A. U. meet at Oxy and the Southern California meet. They placed second in the state meet. Finley, McFadden and Messing were the individual stars and one of the fast- est trios this school has ever had. McFadden also made a splendid captain. Other men who won monograms were Vawter and Weisseman, who showed hurled the discus for us, Bowe, who did good work high jumping, and L. Dresser, who was the team mate to Finley in the 440. Many others came out and trained hard, but did not win enough points to get letters. They desirve praise, however, for their share in upholding the honor of the school in track. Ray Adkinson was the best track coach that could possibly be secured and he deserves much credit for producing such a splendid team, when our pros- pects looked unfavorable. xx I f f Page Seventy-Five Though Whittier and not Santa Ana won the County Championship in baseball this year, nevertheless, our team did extremely well, capturing second place. Several positions had to be filled with new material, but under Morrisonis direction, a very good team was produced. Q The members of this year's team are: L. BOWE-Pitcher. This was Boweis first year but he will be one of our best men next year. C. BROWN-Left Field. 6'Chick ' was short, but he certainly could nab the Hfliesl' that came into his territory. T. COFFMAN-Catcher. Ted7' was catcher and also Captain. He was one of the best players and certainly could swat the pillf' - H. DIETRICK-Second Base, Short Stop. Harry could upickw them out of the dust and also was an extra good batter. L. FINLEY-Third Base. Leland was one of the brainiest players, and is the only one of the three 'brothers of baseball fame left at school here. GOLDEN-Center Field. Golden is only a lower classman and will be a star before he graduates. EARL JABS-First Base. ,labs is a very steady, reliable player and was always there in a pinch. LE BARD-Pitcher, Second Base. Barney did most of the heaving for the squad, and except for a little wildness at times, was extra good. He will be ex- cellent next year. LUCK-Right Field. This was Billls first year also. Watch this boy next year. Page Seventy-six few ri, ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 WILCOX-Short Stop, Pitcher. Nick,, shows the same headwork in base- ball t.l1at he does in football. He certainly could steal bases and worry the oppos- ing pitcher. SECOND TEAM GIRLS' INDOOR Girls' Indoor, like Girls, Basketball, has only this year been formally or- ganized, and brief mention only can be made concerning this year's work, as the season is just opening. . We have in Miss Wilson, the best girls, coach in the county, but so far she has had to make teams out of almost entirely 'agreenv material, so naturally, no great wonders have as yet been accomplished. However, with this same coach putting forth her best efforts next year, and every member of each team backing her with the best that is in her, we can well look forward to next year, confident of splendid success. The lineup, although not yet definitely announced, is as follows: Wilma Plavan fCaptainl ............,,,...,,,,,.,, Catcher ,losephine Crookshank ,.,..........,.,.,. ,,,,,,,,, P itcher Ruth Finley ......................, First Base Frances Cocroft ..........

Left Field Center Field Right Field GIRLS, BASKET BALL Nineteen twenty-two marks a new era in athletics at the Santa Ana High School, it being the first year since 1914- that the girls have organized a basket ball team. The success of the team is due largely to the competent coaching of Miss Nellie Wilson. The members of the team and the positions they played are as follows: June Watts, Sr.-Forward-Captain. June played a hard game and was always good for her share of the baskets. Ruth Finley, ,lr.hGuard. A dependable player who fought every minute for Poly. ,lust Watch ,er go next year. Ida Griset, Sr.-Jumping Center. Ida seldom allowed her opponent to touch the ball first. Josephine Crookshank, Fr.--Forward. 'flow played a steady consistent game.

Thelma Pattong Fr.-Guard. Pat,' is already one of the best guards in the county, and she is only a Freshman. She certainly will be a wonder by the time she is a Senior. Vena Belle Bryant and Virginia Witman, the substitutes, deserve due credit for the games in which they played. The manager for this year was Louise Griffith. Page Seventy-eight .-.. L TENNIS TEAM With good support, better material, and the best coach, the tennis team won the Orange County Championship this year. The league consisted of the Orange, Anaheim, Fullerton, Whittier, Tustin and Santa Ana High Schools. With their capable and willing coach, Miss Wilson, the team practiced night after night and developed into one of the finest in Orange County. The eflicient managers, Clifton Marston and Marjorie Tubbs, arranged many trips for practice matches, including those to El Monte, Hollywood and Po- mona College. Several members also took the opportunity to see a tournament in many trips for practise matches, including those to El Monte, Hollywood and Po- Bundy, and other national champions featured. The team is to play for a beautiful cup put up by Fullerton for the team having the most individual star players. The people who helped to make the year a success were: John Cress, who came over from San Pedro after the season had started and held the undefeated position of first singles. Page Seventy-nine ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 Merritt White, a man of two years' experience, and a wonderful second singles player. Clifford Marston, Earl Willard, Darold Meyer and Randolph Bell, all play- ed fast and furious games in doubles. Marjorie Rawlings was undoubtedly the best player for the girls, first singles. She more than did her part i11 helping to win the championship. Veda Freeburg, the only Freshman singles player, certainly won fame by her spectacular serves and drives Enid Twist and Marjorie Tubbs, the champion doubles of the county, last year, carried on their good work this year. Marjorie will graduate in June, but Enid expects to live up to her reputation next year. Persana Deimling, Alice Becker and Thelma Patton all had a hand in mix- ed doublesg each one did splendid work throughout the season. S' GIRLS A BASKETS V, N ng..

Q, This nineteenth annual edition of the Ariel represents the concentrated efforts of the members of this yearis Ariel staff to make this book of '22 the acme of all Ariels so far published. A determination to do something always results in a certain degree of success. After a moment's thought l think you will agree with me when I say that success should be measured not by the appreciation of the public, but by the feeling in one's heart that he has done his best. This book owes what it is to the determination on the part of this year7s staff to make it a success. The year was started at a great disadvantage from a financial point of view, but with the cooperation of the Student Body which displayed school spirit and enthusiasm for all school activities in a manner that has never been ex- celled in thi history of the High School of ours, all debts were cleared up and more than enough money has been obtained to publish this book which we hope fulfills your expectations as an annual worthy of the Santa Ana Polytechnic High School. If it does fulfill your expectations we have done no more than our duty and claim no more praise than that due to trustworthincss. There are just a few more Weeks before we will be able to look back upon one of the most successful years the Santa Ana High School has ever seen. We cap- tured the Southern California Prep Football title without a great deal of trouble and even looked ffood for State honors until we met our Waterloo among the P oilwells of Bakersfield. The debating cup which goes to the school third time in succession is now in our trophy case to stay, thanks to of this year's debating team. Furthermore, in practically every other winning it the the good work school activity we have had an equally successful year. I wonder, however, if everyone of us can look back upon this year just past and measure his success as an individual in the same proportions as he can that of the school. This yearis curtain is slowly falling and not long hence, as far as this year is concerned, it will have fallen for all time to come. But when at last it has fallen, it will mark the close of the high school days for some one hundred and Page Eighty-one ARIEL SANTA ANA HIQH SCHOOL 1922 seventy-five students, while for others it will mark only the end of one of the divi- sions of their high school career. But when at last the curtain has fallen, how many of us can look over the past year, or four years, and have a feeling way down in the bottom of our hearts that we have done our best in all things? If we could live those days over again, we would all do those things in a far different manner. We will not be given another opportunity, so there remains only one alternative, and that is to make the future profit by the mistakes of our past. We are all yet young and prac- tically all our life remains before us, to become what we make it. We all make mistakes and stumble quite often, but if we are made of the right kind of stuff, we will be up in a minute and on our way again with more of a de- termination than ever, and when we finally reach the end of the road. 4'Nature will be able to stand up and say to all the world: This is a manf, We make one last request of Father Time, that in lowering the curtain he pause just long enough for us to say farewell to the one hundred and seventy-five students leaving our halls of learning, never to return again as students of this high school. Fellow members of the class of 722, we cannot ask that our future be a path of urosesf' because without obstacles to overcome, life would not seem worth the living. We members of the Ariel staff wish everyone who graduates, as well as those who return again next year, the highest possible success. -THE EDITOR.

PICS. t IS s e, w o wou. etter ave been the mother of little Cebuanna, much more mature in her way than the little American Madre, who al- always finds time to spend in her wonderful gardens, and at the exclusive officerls balls. Chicquita, as she was nicknamed by her American master, was an excellent foster mother. Her chief delight was in the care of her four year old charge, except perhaps, Chacoo, the master,s order boy, who might also be included. When Chicquita first came to the master,s island house, it was with her morningls reward. Her brown skin was bare to the tropical sun, with only a cling- ing piece of spun cloth wrapped about her, forming a skirt, the only bit of clothes that she had ever known. Her straight, long, dark hair was twisted into a knot at her neck, with a heavy, flat basket of heaped clams balanced on hed head. Only fifteen was she then, but as used to her burden as the women before her. It was her clear, frank expression that caused the master to think. The next time she went to the master's house with her ware, he asked her if she would like to work for him. She cast a shy glance about her at the house, with the rose wood floors, and some- what blushingly, made a demure aflirmation. Little Cebu:-1nn's mother gave her little native-born child into the care of Chicquitag and, she, not less a little mother, grew to love her with a sudden warmth of affection. Somewhere from an old Chinese hemp suitcase, came a delicate, cream- colored pina dress, that modestly fitted Chicquitag from a cedar drawer a heavy brown linen dress. So it was, that Chicquita's wardrobe grew, even down to the bamboo sandals that she wore. Chicquita,s one pride was her snowy, firm, white teeth, whose preserva- tion was due to rice fields-out where a delicate slip of grass sprouted, and was sub- merged in water. The lustrous pearl-like quality of her teeth was often the envy of the women of the Occident. Sometimes Chicquita knew it, and she would coquettishly draw her hand toward her mouth and place a long, smoking cigarette between her smiling lips. One time she invited little Cebuanna to smoke with her, as was cus- tomary? among the children of her own race. But the master kindly told Chicqulta irl must not learn to smoke, and Chicquita Sllllllllgly looked into his face and assured him that she would try to teach his little girl the American way. At evening, when little Cebuanna was fast asleep between fresh, cool linen, b her little bed covered over with netting, Chicquita would wander out to the bam oo favorite banana tree, and listlessly hang over the that this litle g picket fence, under the master's gate, her gaze and cigarette smoke stealing down a worn bamboo trail. As the moon Page Eighty-three 5YRIELmVwS.QNTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 gradually made his ascent, he lightened the lonesome trail, and the heart of Chicquita. At times his beams would fall dreamily over her face, as she leaned there on the fence, slowly smoking her cigarette and scraping her feet in the soil. Through the quiet of the night, she caught the sound of heavy falling water, yes-, heard it, and saw it too-the Pacificls tide coming in around the island. Chicquita always had a notion that the tide was some day going to bring her some- thing. Every night-fall found her at the gate--waiting. And what she waited for were Chachoo and the mysterious tide. Sometimes Chachoo would watch with her, when he wasn't stubbing his toes in the ground. And yet, there was an earnestness in the tide for Chachoo, too. He, too, wondered what it might bring him. It seemed to have brought Chiquita the thought. She came so like on a wave, and so sudden. His eyes would shine with an ardor, that only the youth of the south seas knew, and he would begin to enthrall the calm Chicquita with his silvery island lingua. But she not to be moved at such a moment, bade hin1 continue to look at the great, mysteri- ous tide. And, Chachoo, knowing her feeling, would do so. But his moments came, when Chicquita had left off adoring the deep blue waters. Sometimes a little twinkling sound, or a clap of the hands caught Cha- choois ear, and he would slip away from the gate and into the house. Then Chic- quita was alone, and she playfully toyed with the gate until she heard the crunch- ing on the bamboo ascent. It was only on feast days and holidays that Chicquita left her evening hower. During those times the village would turn into a fiery city, in which the old and young of the island, and those of the neighboring small islands would celebrate. The Chinese merchants, and Japanese farmers would also join in with them in their native regalia. Chicquita always found many competitions, when guitar maidens were at their best. One time she won in a contest. The master told her that he was glad of her success, but Chicquita reminded him it was he who had taught her to play Over the Waves so well. lt was thus, that the days were spent for Chicquita. Little complicated flowers came to life on strips of the purest linen, as she worked with her needle, never losing patience. Her days of clam packing seemed to be past. It was a domest- icated little Chicquita who lived in the master's house. But still, she liked the salty puffs of air, and it was into the water that she and little Cebuanna went every morn- ing. They would watch the natives push off from the shore in their bancos, and play until the last shrimp catcher had arrived. Often times, in t.he afternoon, she would go ucallingi' among her friends. Her little charge was sometimes with her. No doubt, the little Cebuanna was awed at times, but she lifted herself to circumstances. It was there that Chicquita told the children to allow her little one to smoke. When Cebuanna sat on her lap, the little children, some barely dressed and some naked, would come up to her and tug at her sandals, and wonder where that golden-haired infant came from. Of course, Chicquita would never refuse to eat with her friends, she liked fish and rice and herb-tea, and Cebuanna, perhaps hungered by her long walk, would eat, too. All Page Eighty-four T-A-:wr ata.: ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 were squatting on the floor, and ten white little fingers moved in time with several tens of brown chubby fingers. Whether the rice tasted better to Cebuanna as she ate it also with her fingers, Chicquita never knew, but she often laughed to herself as she watched her charge eat like the little natives. It was only on Sundays or holidays that Chicquita wore her sandals. At all other times she went about in her bare feet, enjoying herself far more than the women who drank tea in the conservatory. Sometimes a new pina dress came from one of the Chinese stores. Chicquita, ever anxious for the delicate new dresses, fitted into them as gracefully as any maiden on the island. If you were to have seen her then, in a long dress with wide shoulder neck, and slightly stiffened wide sleeves, her hair rolled at the back of her head, a set of white teeth peeking from behind her lips, and even her 'bare feet, it would not be the same Chicquita now. Who knows the little Chicquita now, her friends or God? It is like a deep abyss, the time that has gone by. Its depths will never be filled, its breach never widened, and across the waters, over to the side of the world, where they say people really live, is a spark that shoots back across the great watery body, and meets part way, the spark that suddenly went out to it. -FRANCES HILLMAN, ',22. Shelwas the kind of a girl, or woman-who knows! even nature is deceived at times-who a man would voluntarily look at twice, thrice, yea, even four times if he thought his better half were not watching him, and the kind of a woman, es- pecially an elderly maiden, would toss her head, turn up her nose, and brand as disgraceful, utterly disgraceful. The girl belonged to that class of females which never dares weep for fear adeluging solution of mascara, rouge, and powder, to say nothing of the resistless bandoline. Were the salty flood to gush forth, her face would resemble the work of an amateur in water coloring just after he has succeeded in applying several colors at once Without allowing any of them to become sufficiently dry. The effect thus gained would be like the blended colors of a vase found at a ten cent counter. Aside from the fact that her face was brilliantly and permanently calcimined, was the other extreme-a walking hosiery advertisement, and not much hosiery at that. The elaborately woven design covering her shapely limb looked like a misplaced spider's web. The vivid jade-colored material of her dress could easily have passed for a remnant. Many a piece of far more respectable size had been sold as a lowly left-over. Around the shoulders was thrown a mink fur, although the thermometer registered 92 dergees in the shade. But as the little French designer would say with a shrug of his indifferent shoulders, 'fAh, tres chic! oui, oui, tres chic, Madamosellef, As she tip-toed along on four-inch heels a recollection of something about a fool being born every minute came into my mind. After another pitying glance I snatched up my bathing suit and Pierce- Arrowd toward Balboa in my Henry Ford. A ALLA NEELY, ,22. Page Eiglitylbre ARIEL SANTAJNNAHIGHSCHOOL 1922 STARKEY I OM Mallory was the proud wearer of a blue uniform. He took great 1 7 Q gk pains to see that the brass buttons stationed upon his coat were always polished, especially the silver badge hat marked him as one of the many -115492. police of that city. Yes, he was proud, why shouIdn't he be? Wasrft he the first one in his family to hold such a position, and wouldift he be prouder when Molly O'Connor came over from Ireland and found him to be an officer of the law? As it was, he had not a friend in America, except Starkey, the police dog. of station number forty-five. Starkey was a heavy set beast, his broad shoulders off- setting his lngth. He bore the scars of previous fights, many having been with other than of his own kind. His left eye was out,-the mishap dated back two years to the time he was shot by a breaker of the law, who would have escaped, had not Starkey's fangs delayed him. His short bristled hair that lost no time in standing on end when he was in a troubled mood, was of a greyish tint. His tail came abruptly to a point. It was his only means of expressing his state of feelings, and Starkey could well do that. His fangs protruded over his lower lip giving him a fiercer aspect, in all he was anything but inviting. Yet, to Tom, he was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, except Molly O'Connor. Of course, we all have our weaknesses, and Tom's weakness, according to Chief of Police Stewart, was mental. But, had he studied him more, he would have found that the occasional so-called mistake was merely an Irish blunder, and that all the trouble was in his awkwardness. if 'll' il' 'K' 'K' During the earlier part of the day he had let a motorist who had been the cause of an accident, escape without identifying him, and now he was before Chief of Police for the error. wllom, your mistakes are too frequent to let you remain with the force of this city, and I don't want to discharge a man that's trying to make good. But this is getting serious Tom, and I'm sorry to say 1,11 have to take your badge away from you. That accident this morning happened to be serious, and one person is liable to die. So you see at that rate we couldn't let things like this go on. The chief then sat back in his chair and folded his hands over his open record book, the book that contained the listed vices and corruptions of the city from its incipiency. . Tom stood in silence as he ran his hands carelessly, yet pensively, across the books on Stewart's desk. He thought of Molly coming over from Ireland and finding him not an officer, as he had told her he was. He would be without a job, and a jobless man canit see very far ahead of his dreams. He bit his lipi and stared at the floor. He must relinquish Molly, Starkey must go too. Then he would be friendless. His eyes swelled with tears, tears, not the kind that would soon vanish, but tears that would leave brands. Page Eighty-six ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 The old man to avoid embarassment hung his head. Without further ex- planation Tom removed his badge, and calmly laid it on the desk. His eyes rested for a Heeting moment on the shining piece of metal, that had been his badge, and which meant for him only that morning, a sure promise of a home with Molly at the edge of town. Then he walked slowly towards the door like one doomed to die. When he opened the door, in bounded Starkey, his one eye devouring the for- lorn Irishman. . He lost no time in barking his usual greeting. Stewart turned around and watched the actions of the two, as Tom got down down on his knees and caught Starkey in his arm and hugged him. In return Starkey licked his already moistened cheek. Tom unwillingly got up and started to go, but the whining voice of Starkey brought him to a halt. As if by physical weakness, he leaned against the door and cried. This treble loss was too much for him. It wouldn't have been half so bad if it had been the job alone, but a friend is priceless, especially when there are few. The door seemed like an awful gap that was to separate him and Starkey. Yet it must beg and the door was his only refuge now, that everything else was lost. The old man's eyes grew moist, and then before Tom could take another step, he cried, Tom. But Tom never heard him, he was even then on the outside of the door, in spirit. Stewart stood up and cried in a louder voice, Tom, just a minutelv Tom, awakened from his transient reliections, turned around and slowly found his way back to the bulky desk of the chief, once more standing before the stern countenance of that man. But whatever the expression on the chiefls face, Tom did not see it, for his eyes rested on the badge that yet lay on the desk. Tom, said Stewart in a broken voice, I-I think I'll give you another chance, but-- He stamped his list upon the desk. 4'You've got to make good. If you don,t I can do no more. I'll take a chance on you, chance, see? Because if I keep careless men on the beats, I can lose my position just as easy as you. Per- haps easier, now that our new council has charge. Tom brought his head up with a jerk, and open-mouthed stared at him. His left hand clutched at the scant fur of Starkeyis neck. For the first time during the interview Tom found it in him to speak. 60h yes! You mean I'm still to have my job?,' he ejaculated, and a broad Irish smile spread over his face, that would have dried the tears of Niobe. Stewart however, did not smile, he was the same stern man that time had always found him to -be for the past twenty years. c'Now Tom don't think I'm doing this for you alone, Tom, I just figured that you were worth a hundred a month as a pal for Starkey. He seems to take to you more than any of the other boys, and of course, unless you make good I can't guarantee you the job for a definite time. You donit get along where there is any traffic, so I'll change you down to the Italian quarters. Guess that will get you away from the crowd. And wasn't that Albert's beatf, quizzed Tom. Page Eighty-seven ARIEL .SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 6'Yes, that was Albertis beat, but he resigned. You know that is the place where Marvin was killed by an Italian. Was t.hat the devil that shot Starkey? Yes, same old place and you,ll find youlll have to watch your step there, Tom, old boy,', he said, pointing his linger at Tom. What time do I take my beat?,' asked Tom. - 4'From ten p. m. 'till six in the morning. Phillips will show you your routine, live gotgto check up on these reports for the council, and youlll not need this badge as your beat calls for another number, said Stewart as he began to- shuiiie the papers before him. This time Tom taking a couple of three-foot strides which brought him to the door. Starkey trotted behind him and when they had gone, Stewart turned- on the desk lamp and once more resumed his work. A week later Tom was walking his new beat swinging his club to the tune of VVhere the River Shannon Flowsf' when he was brought to a stop. Three men quarreling over a game of dice. Two started to fight and before the third could render assistance, Tom promptly administered his club among and upon them. The patrol was called and then they were hastened off to the station, where Stewart took the pleasure to lock up Tomis first arrest. One night Starkey went with Tom on his rounds. The place was familiar to Starkey as it was in this district he had his left eye put out. Though the people were strangers to him, a few Italians that were in front of a restaurant tried to pet him, but Starkey growled his warning to let well enough alone. Italians were his enemies, one had shot him. Yes, maybe another would too, so he kept away from them, or if necessary bade them to keep away from him. As they crossed an alley Starkey sniffed the air and not content with this method, paced down the alley. Tom kept on walking at his even pace, when he heard a report from a gun, and a yelp. He turned around and went down the dark alley with his gun held close in his hand, until the quick glare of his flashlight cast its brilliance across t.he struggling body of Starkey. He dropped down on his knees and lifted the trembling form of the dog into his arms, and no sooner had he done this than he felt something warm drip on his hand. His precious flashlight revealed it as blood. Starkey gasped and whined. Starkey, Starkeyf, moaned Tom. May the man have the divil's curse that shot you, and--In He was interrupted, Starkey was choking. He had been shot through the neck. Then without another struggle he died in Tom's arms. Starkeyl Iill get that man that killed ye, yesli' He looked down the alley, and then quietly laid Starkey against the side of an old brick building. With a last caress, he got to his fcet and started towards the cross street at the end of the alley. As he walked along the dirty alley he cast his light ahead of him, and as be did so, he spied a piece of ragged cloth. He picked it up and put it in his pocket and walked on. But before he could pick up his steps again, he heard a shot, and felt a' pain through his side. He staggered and fell as he saw a man run. Forgetting his pain for the moment, aimed at him and Page Eighty-eight ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 fired. Then he heard a thump, a sound of some heavy object falling to the ground. But nature's course had begun to work, and everything went black before Tomis eyes. He grew cold. When he opened his eyes, he was lying on a white bed. A white-capped, smiling nurse was sitting beside him. He grinned rather slowly at her, then relapsed into a quiet sleep. That afternoon Stewart came to see him, and waited until he woke up from his sleep, flushed and smiling. Tom,,, he said, you did iinef, Did I get him? Tom queried. But the nurse interrupted. 'Tm sorry, Sir, but he is not to be excited. Itis the doctor's orders. All right then, will you please get me this morning's paperfi the pa- tient asked. She nodded, and turned around and went through the door. Stewart reach- ed over and closed it. 4'Now that she's gone, l'll tell you all about it. Guess it won't hurt you. You got him all right, and after an examination we found that Starkey had tried to hold him and he shot him. Wie he is wanted for grand larceny, and there was a handsome reward of 31,500 for his capture, meaning that you will get that amount from the Government, next weekf, Tom shook his head. NNO, nol Stewart, I wonlt accept money for re- venging Starkey. lid do it all over again if things turned the way they didf, uBut just think,', Stewart warned, SSI,500! I won't take it, Tom said with determination. Oh, yes you will. Besides you're promoted. Youlll get to work in the office after this. I think you'll get S200 a month. I knew youid make good. Oh, yes, herels a letter for you, toof' Tom opened it. To tell its contents would not be really fair. But it did say that Molly would leave on the 20th of the month, and the rest was not to be understood by anyone else but Tom. Tom smiled. uGod bless ye, itls Mollyf' He put it under his pillow and continued. Stewart, today the boys are going to bury Starkey out in back of the station. Poor boy, it was too bad. There never was a dog like Starkey, with his poor old one eyef' Then Tom looked up at Stewart pleadingly, and the latter laid his wrinkled hand on Tomis shoulder. uYes,,' he said, 'gl understand?

Q IQAQ 39 One morning I awoke with a thrill to find the ground andthe roofs of . Nw , - H - ' , Aa, 11' ' , , the houses white w1th the first frost. Going out into the crisp, invigorating air, seeing my breath in the coolness made me feel like Hercules. In the garden tomato vines resembled miniature weep- ind willows, and the pumpkins and squashes were no longer hidden in their thick foliage. The leaves were wilted and draped on the vines, making the melons stand out in bold relief. I started early in the morning with a lunch and my gun, headed for the woods. Coming to the crest of a hill, overlooking the forest, I was greeted by a marvelous transformation, the trees with leaves of gold, red, purple, and colors such as one would find only on an artistls palette. Beyond this lay the country in the hazi- ness of an early autumn morning. Here and there in the picture were several corn- fields, the shocks of the corn outlined against the sky like the camp of a tribe of Indians. Proceeding on my journey into the paradise of color, kicking the leaves, and delighting in the smell of Indian summer in the air, tramping for the sheer joy of it, admiring and wondering at the masterpieces displayed in the great studio of nature, little did I think of hunting. The days of Indian summer ended when one morning with another thrill, I saw the first snow of the season. Again the feeling that I was cramped seized me. So, taking my gun, I started over the same route I had followed some time previous. Coming to the hill overlooking the forest, I was greeted with an entirely different sight. The trees, once alive with color, were now naked, ugly silhouttes against the sky. The oaks alone, retained their leaves, but they were now brown and dropping, only a lifeless remainder of past beauty. This time, having the snow to help me, I began to hunt in earnest. When the wind began to whistle around the corner of the house and howl down the chimney like a lost soul in a haunted town, winter usually had a firm hold upon the land. Then the ice began to thicken for the sport of ice skating, and the hills became slick, and sledding was popular, and out of the quiet of the winterls night would come the sound of those musical sleighbells and then shouts from a party in a large bob-sled. What did it matter if it was cold? There was fire to warm them when they wanted it. Longing to go once more in shirt sleeves and feel the summer winds on my arms, to be free to roam the hills, was strong in my blood, and, as if to gratify that wish, winter began to let go his hold on the land. By no visible signs does it go out the way it comes in, but seemingly loses itself as one watches. Spring began upon that seemingly unpossible task of making the world a place of beauty once more. The buds on the trees began to swell, little spots of green appeared in the gardens, the grass took on color, and soon the birds arrived, the robin first, then the blue- bird, announcing spring as a surety. Then a barefoot lad was seen, the envied boy in Page Ninety ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH' SCHOOL 1922 town. How I used to long for the feel of the cool grass on my feet and to wade in the pools formed by the spring showers. I again took myself to the woods, and, as I came to the forest, what a change greeted me. A sea of green shone instead of the naked limbs I had seen be- fore. Descending into the forst, I saw that the trees were not alone in their glory, for the ground was covered with sweet Williams, violets, bleeding hearts, and boy's Hbritchesf, This tramp was one of pleasure, watching life beginning again in every direction, seeing the surging streams, where later the swimming hole would be opened. Summer began, the joy season, the time of vacations, unheralded except by a greater warmth. This made the 'cole swimmin' holev a very popular place to spend the idle moments. The seasons are beautiful in their destruction and reconstruction of plant life, each having its different joys and having its own influence on the human moods and affections. -PEARL CAMPBELL. MUSIC HATH CHARMS Some of our idealists present music as the universal language. Although hardly practical, this is a beautiful suggestion. The message of a beautiful song can be understood by a person of any nationality. No matter what mood of the hearer, there is music that will fit. If we are gay, a light, charming melody will intensify our joy, but if we are gloom and discouraged, a martial air will often drive away the down-cast feeling. Throughout the ages there have been love songs. It used to be the custom for the man to gather a group of friends and serenade the lady of his heart. Now he buys her a record of the latest popular hit. The tender lullabies that have been sung from time immemorial are no less truly love songs. The stirring national airs display patriotism, love of country. In fact, nearly all musical compositions arise from a desire to express the love of the composer. Many of Beethovenis best works are expressions of his love for nature. Masterpieces played by a good orchestra 'will lift the soul from its moorings and send it joy-gathering among the stars. Truly, tho it vary from the grand harmony of a hundred-piece orchestra to the simple joyousness of a baby's laugh, music hath charms. LEAH CRANE, '22. Page Ninety-one ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 THE REUNION - Qi-gsgviqgigf MID the screech of grinding steel and hiss of escaping steam, the Over- land Limited came to a dead stop at the station of a small country town about fifty miles from Chicago. The porter swung off the car steps with several suitcases in his hands and the passengers, who had finished their journey, got off hastily. The brakeman signalled he engineer to resume the journey and the big engine began to pull the train out of the town, quickly gain- ing headway. None had noticed the rough, desperate looking hobo jump quickly from the coal car and run to a pump nearby for a drink. He had just raised the cup to his lips when the train started, and dropping the cup, he ran frantically toward a point farther down the track that he might board the train as it passed. The train was moving swiftly when it reached him, but as the coal car passed, he recklessly attempted to L'flip on it. The engineer had noticed his stand: ing very close to the track, as the engine went by, and he looked back just in time to see the manis foot slip as he tried to board the train, but fell, instead, under the wheels of the baggage car. A heart-rending shriek was drowned out by the noise of the brakes, as they were again applied, and the train stopped with a great jolt. The engineer and fireman, with White, horror-stricken faces, hurried back to where they saw a limp, black body ly-ing. The rest of the train crew, several passengers and many townspeople soon arrived at the spot. Both of the strangeris legs were severed at the hip and his right arm was cut off at the shoulder, but he was still alive-a breathing mass of mangled, bloody flesh. An ambulance which had been summoned, drove up almost instantly, and the man was quickly placed within it and taken to the hospital. The engineer and fire- man resumed their places, after the conductor had filled out the details in the re- port concerning the affair, the passengers hurried back to get into their cars, the brakeman again signalled the engineer to start, and the train once more pulled out. The townspeople went back to their places of business, talking excitedly-only a few children remained to look, fearfully, at the blood, which was scattered on the rocks. One more worthless tramp was out of the way and the world would probably be better off without him-so the people thought, and the accident was soon forgotten by them. Meanwhile, the tramp was rushed to the operating table at the hospital. but he died before he could even be given the anaesthetic. He whispered one sentence before he died, which the nurse, who was bending over him, heard. He had said, '4lVIother, I am comingf, While this was happening in the small town and caused a little momentary excitement there, a very usual, common thing was happening in one of the filthy, squalid tenement districts of Chicago. In a small ,dark, dirty room on the fourteenth floor, a withered, little, old lady lay dying. Her cheeks were wrinkled and sunk far in, forming great Caverns on the side of her face. Her mouth was open and her parched tongue was hanging out over her toothless gums and chapped lips as she Page Ninety-two ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH'SCI-IOOL 1922 gasped for a few more breaths of air. Her neck and finger tips were turned blue, her hands and feet were growing cold, and the death sweat was upon her, but still she retained consciousness, and in her bony, skinny hands she clutched fast a letter. 4'He will come-soon-M she gasped. 'aHe said-son-in-9' and the rest of the words were unintelligible, but the letter, over which her fingers tightened as she tried to speak, told the story-a dying mother, defying death, to see her only boy once more. . A careworn, slovenly dressed girl stood by the old lady's bed and from time to time swabbed her tongue with wet cotton. Suddenly the clock 'boomed ten times, the sound of it resembling a death knell. Now, said the form on the bed, and the girl took from her apron a long, slender syringe, and injecting it into the arm of the woman, pushed down the lever, then she withdrew the instrument and tossed it out of the narrow window. The last of the powerful stimulent, which had kept the old lady alive during the past week, was gone, but she did not need it any more. It had served its purpose, for at ten minutes after ten her son would arrive. The letter said so and Jimmy always kept his word. Besides, he loved his dear old mother with all his heart. It was the hope of seeing her only son again, with the aid of the powerful stimulant, that had kept the old lady alive during the past week. The way she rallied under the influence of the drug was remarkable. He -willh-be-here,-soon,7' she said again. 4'Then I-am ready--to go-.U At ten minutes past ten shelooked expectantly at the door, but it did not open. Ten-thirty arrived, and still the son was absent. The drug was fast losing its effect and the re- lapse was coming on rapidly. He said-on the -Over-land-Limited-at ten-haven,t seen-him- for-twelve-years-I must last -lit-, and the murmuring voice became so low that the girl had to bend over the wan, wasted form to catch the last words. A beauti- ful smile suddenly appeared on the old woman's face, and, bending still nearer, the girl heard her whisper, Jimmy-my boy--l'm--so-glad you've come. -WALTON FINN, ,22. s....1 -X X I .X f sg!

I had worn new shoes to town once and nearly fainted on the way back, so I knew better than to try to go anywhere on foot under those conditions. As I wished to wear my new purchase the next day, I thought it would be wise to break them in at home that evening. I was just admiring my new footwear and taking careful steps to try them out when the doorbell rang. It was the boy who lived across the street. I asked him to come in, but he refused, saying he could not stay long. He talked on, however, while I shifted from one foot to the other. You remember those questions the teacher gave us for history, don't you?', 'Why was the King of Spain defeated? My thought was, Ulf his feet hurt like mine, it's no wonder he was defeat- ed. I wished that I could offer to hunt the questions up, and incidentally manage to get some slippers on, as I was feeling the first twinges of pain. Unfortunately, however, the questions lay in plain View on the steps, where I had placed them with my book a few minutes before. I handed him the paper and said I would not need it again, waiting hope- fully for him to take his leave. The pain was becoming severe. He began again, Say, do you remember how funny John looked this morning with that small collar? Wasnlt it funny?,' I forgot for the moment that I had been secretely mirthful over John and his first stiff collar. I said, HNO, I can't see anything so funny about it. Probably it hurt him. Then I shifted to the other foot. Wouldn't he ever go? Then came the last straw. Don't you like to dance? I could dance from now until morning and never get tired. I'd rather dance' than eat. I suppose everyone likes to dance-you do, don't you? Dance!,, The word the word exploded as it left my lips. Then in a voice hard with suppressed emotion, I said, No, I do not like to dance. Let's not talk about itff I do not know what I should have said next, had not Providence interven- ed, in the form of the small brother of my guest, with a summons for him. I limped painfully back into the house and sank upon a chair. The effort to traverse the short distance to my bed-room slippers was too great. I was horrified to glance up and see the new minister and his family at the door. I intended, as soon as I had comfortably seated the visitors, to excuse my- self for the purpose of informing mother of the call. She, however, had heard their voices and came in. The minister's wife kept me engaged in conversation and my feet ached in those stiff shoes. The only thing I remember about that conversation was a discussion of chloroform. I enjoyed that. Page Ninety-four ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 At last they said that they must go and the minister rose, only to sink to his knees upon the floor. As I lowered myself, cautiously, I offered a silent prayer- the offering of a bargain, Oh, Lord, if y0u,ll only make this short, Iill never say 'darn' again. Seconds, minutes, hours, eternities passed. I wondered wildly if I could possibly slip off the shoes. Before I reached a conclusion, I heard the minister say, 6'Praise the Lordlv and I echoed his words as I realized that he was closing. I start- ed to rise-when the minister's wife began, 4'Oh, Lordf' as I sank down again, I echoed her words. I lived through a daze of pain and breathed a sigh of relief at her final word. I was half way up from the floor, when the daughterls words broke the mo- mentary scilence, 'L0ur Father, who art in Heavenf' and I backslid. I did something I had never been guilty of before and I d0n,t think I will again, I thanked the Lord for making his prayer so short! Oh, the bliss of sitting on a chair again! The door had hardly closed behind the visitors When I painfully crept into the bedroom, to reappear in daddy's bedroom slippers, mine seemed too small. Now, confidentially, I have read of joys and joys--joys of eating, joys of drinking, joys of sleeping, but I can tell you that the greatest joy of all is to put oneis aching feet in bedroom slippers, after the ordeal of wearing new shoes. --ELEANOR ADAMS, 723. ,511 ,wzfqx ML yxlfij 1 ' , 3 Y! .1 - Av! if V I 4 , V .

She was so absorbed in her book that she did not notice them, which rather dented Beckwith's pride. She was the kind of girl of whom you say, Her clothes? Why, I didn't notice them. Something blue, I think? She was tall and had a color in her cheeks that was not to be found in a drug store, but rather gained by brisk walking and abstainiug from the late hours and rich candy, in which most of our city misses indulge. She had the kind that looks prettiest when in its wildest disorder. Man, look at her! breathed Beckwith rapturously. i'She,s the first girl I've seen that doesn,t give a damn whether her hair is mussed or notf, i g'Maybe she knows it's prettier that way,', answered Wells. ' All right, now, went on Beckwith, disdaining his thrust. 'Til go over and see what she's reading. I'll bet itis Henry James or Arnold Bennett, or some other high-brow. Beckwith went over and sat down quietly. With an air of preoccupation he glanced at her book carelesly-you know how they do it. Suddenly a peculiar expression crossed his face. This goddess, this Diana, was reading The Art of Making Up. Profusely Illustrated, by H.

LOST AND FOUND I had just left lVIac's,' third period History class and was making the wild dash for my locker as usual. The bell for the fourth period, as usual, rang too soon, but this time even before I had even reached my locker. Evidently I was not up to form and could do no faster than forty that day. And so I stopped running and moderated my pace to an easy walk, for if two minutes late, why not twenty? As I said, I was drifting down the deserted hall when my leisurely amble was suddenly arrested by a small but insitent voice crying for help. Quickly I looked up and down the hall but could see no one, and so pro- Page Ninety-six ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 ceeded, thinking that my over-worked ears had mislead me. Upon hearing this same pitiful voice call out again. Help, help! Come and let me out. I'm kidnapped and the authorities are hunting for me. - I awoke to the fact that I was in the midst of a great mystery or else was the object of the practical joke played by some aspiring ventriloquist. The voice seemed to come right out of the block of lockers in front of me. Having my full share of curiosity, and plenty of time, I was fully deter- mined to solve this absorbing mystery. Several times these calls for help repeated, and after a systematic search I discovered to my utter astonishment that the sounds were coming from my locker. . After two or three feverish attempts, I finally succeeded in rattling off the combination, and I flung the door of .my private safe wide open, at the same time standing well back in order that the mysterious 'thing' might not Hy out at me. I started throwing out all the books and papers and other trash, determined for once to see what really was in the lower regions of my locker. As I did so the voice ffor it seemed like a human voice, gradually became louder and louder. Take me homef' it said. HGive me airf' Either of two things, I was crazy or else one of the books in my locker had been gifted with the power of speech. I, of course, decided the latter, and so began a careful and painstaking examination to see which of my fond text books had been miraculously endowed with the gift of speech. At last I found. Yes, this was it 'beyond a doubt. There it was, Long's History of English Literature which I had forgotten to return to the library. 4'Take me backf' it said. They're looking for me. I'm three months late. And thus I was reminded that I too was late and just had time to return this marvelous book to the library and get to class at the proper moment,-just after the M's had finished reciting. ' GEORGE MORTON, ,22. FROM A MOUNTAN TOP The day was cold and bleak. The blue of the sky was entirely hidden by forbidding clouds. The sun had long been vanquished. The valley was obscured by a low mist out of which nearby peaks reared themselves propoundedly hostile. Over the bare, gray rocks the wind shrieked at times like a demong then with a swift transi- tion sobbed like a heart-broken child. At one side an unscalable cliff dropped down to the dreary desert. A stone, loosened by a careless foot, fell, till blown out of its course by the wind, it lodged noiselessly in a crevice far below. A low, sparse foliage scarcely distinguishable from the rocks to which it clung seemed to be seeking refuge from the bitter blasts. In a hollow on the mountain side a dirty snow patch covered the barren ground. Farther down dull green tamaracks flattened themselves in fantastic shapes against the rugged moun- tain. And over all the chill wind blew. DOROTHY FORGY, '23. Page Ninety-seven ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 THE PASSING OF THE WHITE COW ogg ITHOUT turning my years or recollection back over many decades a Q 'J vivid picture of an experience of my own returns to my memory ,5 transient neighbor who owed my father a substantial sum had uskipped . U I 99 lgkf C If -f ' - 7 the country My father made an unusual effort to collect but all he had been able to get on the debt was an aged white cow. She constituted the only livestock of the neighborhood excepting two delapidated saw-horses, and some one stole them. The last ten years of her life having been spent on the dry prairie, where her old gums could hardly hold to the buffalo grass, she was as thin as the kitchen door, and had to face the wind to keep from blowing over. But father was so thoroughly determined to realize something on his debt that he spent' many hours with that old white, toothless, hornless, milkless cow. He put her in a warm stall in the barn and fed her on more kinds of premasticated and predigested foods, than an African woman feeds her first baby. After four months of this regime, she began to look more like a cow. Her legs, one from each corner, ran straight down to the ground, and there was a happy, satisfied look in her eyes. Then father, with anxious haste, bargained her off to the local butcher, all against his small boy's Qthatls mel will. It must be confessed that in the cattle country the good beef is sent to the city, while the local population accepts whatever the city market will not take-like father's toothless cow. Old Whitey, as I had christened her, was to be delivered on the next Tues- day, and the place of delivery a slaughter house only four miles from the farm. When Tuesday dawned, a fairly nice blizzard came with it, the quiet howling of the wind and the furious flying of the beautiful white flakes making it an ideal day for the delivery of the cow. This was Old Whitey,s day. If she were not sold today, no one might say when she would ever be disposed of. The butcher doubtless had an aged bull con- tracted for the next Tuesday, and possibly a crippled farm ox for the following week. Besides, father had promised to deliver the cow, and his word was as good as most father's promises are. lt would be bad to think of folks in town going without beef for a whole week, almost as bad as to imagine their chewing and growling over the twenty-year old steaks and soup-bones prescribed for the following week. No, the cow must be delivered, blizzard or no blizzard. So the boy ftbatis me againl soon after breakfast, took the lead rope and started out on foot, and alone, except for Old Whitey, set off across country. The snow was now falling in big fluffy wads. The aged cow, not knowing her destination, was cheerful, almost frisky. And the boy was warm and perfectly happy. By ten o'clock, after numerous stops and rests, the pair reached the rickety shed, commonly called the slaughter house. Almost at the same moment arrived father, who had finished the morning's work at the farm, and ridden over on horse- back. We tied Old Whitey in the shed and hastened to find her buyer and com- Pagel Ninety-eight ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL I922 plete the deal. After that we warmed ourselves in the store, and set our faces homeward, both riding father's trusty Steed. Now the morningls trip has been directed straight toward the southeast, thus, going home meant facing the northwest and the blizzard. The wind was blowing hard and the rushing, frozen snow cut like a knife, the thermometer had fal- len below zero. But the old white cow had been successfully fatted and sold. It was a fair achievement of notable difliculty, and we were proud, as well as being greatly pleased, and perhaps thankful to get rid of the old crow-bate. Mother had a hot dinner awaiting us when we got home, and father and I thawed out in rich content. DONALD FRITTS, ,22. TRUE TO LIFE ' And my mother spake to me in a material voice, saying, Wllhou shalt retire early to Lhy bed and set thy alarm for 7:00 in order that thou mayest arise in goodly time for school. Whereupon I was forced to retire and immediately fell into a deep slumber. The following morning I arose and went unto school where I was learning in the days of my youth. And it appeared to me that for some reason I was on time, and so proceeded to the first of the four wise men of the morning. Now it happened that this certain wise man said unto me, 4'Canst thou recite?', And I answered him saying, I canf' And he replied in a doubtful voice saying, Verily I say unto you it is luck that thou canst, else thou shouldst have been given a five?7' So saying he proceeded to question me closely, whereupon I answered him truth- fully in every respect. At this point I awoke from my dream to the cheerless ringing of that dam alarm clock, three minutes too soon! GEORGE MORTON, '22, M 1: Q , X , N N' I tfwff .

Say, but won t things hum around here, when the Annual League races are held the fifth of April? Of course, thatls always a Red Letter Day around Wilmington. f There'll be the usual rush, tear, confusion and excitement there always is, and then everybody'll take a long breath, and settle back to dry facts, with the usual 'boasts and prophecies for the next timef' And, having madethis remark, rather pessimistic for an athlete, Kenneth Lawrence lapsed into a gloomy silence. Jimmie was too deeply interested in his subject, though, to pay any special atten- tion to his friend's attitude, and so, rambled contentedly on. You're going out for the cross-country race, of course. Of course, nothing! retorted Kenneth despondently. Are you going to tell me that you intend to drop that race, when you know, yourself, you have a sure chance for first place, and that there isnit a fellow in the league who can finish within throwing distance of you? I Yes, yes, returned Kenneth impatiently, with all that, even if it were true, Ilm throwing over the race. , Jimmie was indignant. '6But why-what crazy idea? '4Well, I'll tell you, since you insist on showing such symptoms of insanity. Herels the whole problem in a nut shell. A year ago this March, I met Bob McLane. He had entered the cross-country race in the Dayton League. In attempting to take a hard fence jump, he stumbled, and broke his ankle. I happened to be driving by, at the time, and saw the accident. A friend who was with me helped me to take him to the nearest doctor and immediately upon arriving, we telephoned his folks. That was the end of it, as far as the accident went, but Bob, discovering my interest in cross-country running, has kept up correspondence, and made me occasional visits. Now he has asked me to spend this Spring Vacation with himself and his family, at Dayton. I can hardly refuse, but our League Races interfere with the visit. But say! By Jovel Here's where you can help me, if you will, to get me out of this mess! Mess is right, spoke Jimmie grimly, 'ibut I must say, I don't see where I could help out. Why, look here, why couldn't you go to Dayton in my place? Whatl gasped Jimmie, dumfounded. 6'Now see here, the only one I know in the family is Bob. Bob writes that his school doesn't close until the iifth of April, so he canlt come home until then, but the family insists on my coming there first, so that they may have the--er-joy of my presence, you know,', and he winked. No one will know the difference if you go in my place, and I'l1 run up as soon as I can after the races, and before Bob comes home to bawl things up. Then everything will be all right, because we can , Page One Hundred ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 pass it off as a joke. Bob's a good sort, and will make things right with his family. Now that you understand, will you go?', . Luckily Kenneth Lawrence was gifted with persuasive powers, and Jimmie was always ready for an adventure, or this story would have ended here. But before the evening was over, Jimmie had consented to go. Four o'clock the next afternoon found Jimmie standing doubtfully and alone on the station steps at Dayton. He gazed hopelessly about a moment, and then, heaving a heavy sigh, muttered forbodingly between clenched teeth, Welll This is the first of April, and lim hanged if it won't be an 4April Fool, on mel A boyish laugh rang out beside him, and looking down he beheld a small boy of about eight, staring curiously up into his face. The boy laughed again, and Jimmie, finding his frank, good-natured disposition contagious, laughed with him. You Kenneth Lawrence'?,' queried the boy abruptly. Kenneth Lawrence! Why no, l'm---ll Jimmie stopped short. He had forgotten he was playing a part. It would never do to make a mistake so early in the game, even though it were a farce. So he lost no time in correcting himself. Why-er-yes, of course I'm Kenneth' Lawrence, but what difference does that make? he added a little sharply. , The boy's eyes had narrowed a trifle at the abrupt contradiction, but his face had so instantly assumed its former innocence, that the change had been but barely perceptible, had one chosen to scrutinize him closely, which Jimmie was far from attempting. So the boy continued easily, Well, l'm Teddy McLane. l'm awful glad to know you. My brother, Bob, knows you. He said he wanted to invite you up for vacation, an, for a wonder, ma let him. The car's waitin, 'round the corner, so come 7long. And with this somewhat jumbled introduction and explana- tion, he picked up Jimmie's grip, and started for the car. A large, roomy sedan stood just around the corner, and into this, Teddy with some difficulty, fairly threw himself and the heavy suitcase, and Jimmy, after a slight hesitation, took a seat beside him. The chauffeur started the car, and the next moment, they were gliding smoothly through the main streets of Dayton. Ten minutes' ride, brought them to a stop in front of a large, fashionable house, just outside the business district. Teddy bounded up the steps, and threw open the door, saying graciously, This is our house. Walk right in. After that, Jimmie's mind was something of a blur, for Mr. McLane, frankly cordial himself, had a wife of an equally hospitable nature who made him feel at home from the moment he entered the door. Jimmie was taken at once to his room, and told that supper would be ready at six. Left to himself, he breathed a deep sigh of relief, and, for the first time since Ken had broached the awful scheme the night before, relaxed. Finding himself more weary than he had thought he was, Jimmie lay back on the couch, and was soon sound asleep. Page One Hundred One ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 He woke with a start some time later, and, looking at his watch exclaimed in a low tone, Jimminy! Twenty minutes to six! Better clean up a little I guess, and jumping up, he started unpacking his suitcase. Jimmie would as soon forget that first supper, or more properly the conversation carried on during it, for it had compelled him to put the one thing he hated above all else, into constant practice, and that was deceit. Up to this time he had hardly understood the meaning of the word, much less, practiced it. First came the mention of Bob's accident, and Ken's 'timely assistance. Of this, Jimmie as we know, knew very little, but he stammered through as many reason- able replies as he was able, making them, for the most part, fairly non-committal, in order that he might not, unconsciously incriminate himself , Then Bob, himself, was the subject of the conversation. When had Ken seen him last? Had Bob writ- ten him since then? Had he mentioned the exact date of his home coming? This last Jimmie was able to answer correctly and honestly, much to the relief of his sorely-tried conscience, for Ken had told him that much, anyway. But the worst was yet to come, for Teddy brought up a question, which Jimmie had been dreading and yet, one which he knew was inevitable. 'gsay Ken, he blurted out, 'Atell us about your races. You have League Races too, don't you? When did you have yours this year? Let's see your medals. Bob has heaps of 'emfi Jimmie fairly glared at the little trouble-maker until Stephen lVlcLane, taking his silence for modesty, spoke up, partly to cover his small son's tactless array of questions. Don't be foolish, Teddy,'lhe admonished, then added quickly, turning to Jimmie. Of course we are all interested in your running, Kenneth. Bob goes in for athletics so strongly, that the family has become a loyal supporter of such activ- ities. But, by the way, l think I have something which will interest you all. As you know, he continued, now speaking to his family, ueach year Dayton enters the Annual League Races of her section, but this year, there has been so much demand staunch public fans, are putting on an extra meet, consising of a few short sprints, and a big prize race-cross-country,--for 95100.00 to encourage the contestants, and increase the number of entriesf' This was interesting to the family and they dis- cussed it pro and con, while Jimmie sat still and held his breath, for fear that they would insist on his running in the race. For then, what could he say? But, the remainder of the time was spent only in free discussion. Immediately after supper, however, Mr. McLane called Jimmie to one side. Kenneth, he said slowly, I want you to enter that race, and win. You must be aware of the fact that you are considered the 'best H. S. cross-country runner in this part of Ohio. It has been talked of enough. You can win that race if you want to. Now I have a proposition to make, which l hope you will take in the spirit in which it is given. Bob tells me you're crazy to go to college, but that you cannot go, lrecavse the tuition is a little above your means. Listen, if you enter the contests, Page One Hundred Two ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 and win that race, and win the 510000, Illl furnish the other 3100.00 necessary to pay tuition for the first year through college! Jimmie was staggered. This man--what did he mean-was he offering- Jimmie felt the red creep up slowly over his face. This was a little too much. 'Tm sorryf' he said simply, 'fl know your intentions are of the best, but really, I could no more-W Once again he had forgotten that he was playing a part, that such an offer could never be made, intentionally, to him. He was only Ken's friend. He knew in his heart how badly he himself wanted that money. College had been his one dream since boyhood, but his financial condition was even worse that Ken's. lVIr. McLane was still talking, urging, pleading, fairly begging. Jimmie again recovered himself, f'But why should you be so interested in me, anyway, Mr. McLane? he asked in true curiosity. Because, first, of your friendship with Bob, my eldest son. I'd do almost anything for Bob, and I know he would want me to do this. Second, I have reasons of my own, I don't care to reveal just at this time.', 'fWhen do these races come off, Mr. McLane?,i he asked, suddenly. The sixth of April. That's five days off. It gives you plenty of time to practice on the route. You'll accept my offer? eagerly. I'll think it over and let you know in the morningf, was Jimmie's only reply, but, as he turned, and started slowly up the stairs, there was a queer little glint in his eyes, which, had anyone been able to see, would have set him to thinking, deeply, just as deeply as Jimmie was thinking, as he entered his room a few minutes later, on the floor above. Plainly enough, the whole proposition required thought and careful consideration. That night he studied the matter over, and in time, made his decision. He would write Ken, and explain everything. He would ask him to come to Dayton as soon as possible after the Wilmington League Races, but to be sure to arrive in time for the Prize Race, on the sixth of April. Mr. McLane had wanted Kenneth Lawrence to win that race. He had wanted him to win the 3100.00 offered as prize, and finally, he had wanted him to go through college so badly, that he had offered to help him do it. Well, when a man wanted anything that badly, he deserved to get it. Stephen McLane was going to get what he wanted, this time, if Jimmie had anything to do with it. ' Ken must come. He must not miss this magnificent chance. The next day the letter was mailed, and Jimmie, much relieved, told Mr. McLane that he had decided to accept his proposition, much to that gentleman's sincere delight. A little later, he took Jimmie down, to go over the route decided upon for the Prize Race, as they called it. It was a difficult one. It would have to be, to deserve the enormous prize set up for the winner. But Jimmie was determined. Hel had realized that Ken probably could not arrive, until but an hour, at the most, before the race started. That left little time for explanations, and perhaps there would be a mis- understanding, should he and Ken attempt to rush matters, and then, the race, money, college education, and all, would go glimmering. No, he must run the race himself, Page One Hundred Three ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 too. They would not understand, if he didnit and there would be no time for explan- ations, until afterwards. And so it was, that every day thereafter, found Jimmie out practicing on that course. He had never pretended to be a cross-country runner, in fact had only run the race as competition for Ken, when he had wanted to practiceg but now-well-strange things happen! Jimmie received an answer from Ken a few days later, in which he agreed to everything, and was widely enthusiastic. He had evidently thought nothing of Jimmieis side of it, only of his rown, and though he would not admit it, Jimmie was deeply hurt. But that didn't stop his practice, in fact simply increased it. He would show Ken that he wasn't the only one who could run. And truly, Jimmie was making a much more remarkable showing than he had dreamed he was capable of, Days .flew by, and nothing further developed. The day of the Prize Race was almost at hand. Final arrangements were made, and then, almost before Jimmie had realized it, the Great Day, for such it was in his life, had dawned. Dayton was fairly wild with suppressed excitement. All sorts of rumors were afloat, but then, rumors of all sorts are always prevalent before any special event, and this was no exception to the rule. The forenoon passed ratherly quietly, for the most part, and as the morning turned into afternoon, Jimmy, fairly trembling with excite- ment, stepped into Mr. lVlcLane's big Sedan, and with the rest of the family, was rapidly whirled to the place of starting. He was strangely nervous on the trip through the city. Supposing Ken had not come? Supposing he had missed his train? Supposing-but he must stop these foreboding contemplations and collect his nerves. The drive was not a long one, and he was soon deposited with the others near the race track. Eagerly he looked about for some sign of Ken. He was no where to be seen, but he would show up. He must. The first races were run off with more or less thrills and enthusiasm, but the great crowd which had gathered to watch the races did not really break loosef' until the Prize Race was announced as being the next in order. Then with wild shouts and cries, the crowd enthusiastically greeted each contestant for this race, as he came forward and took his place on the track. Jimmie took his place with the others, looking anxiously about for Ken. Where was he? What kept him? Why on earth didn't he hurry? There was a little delay about the start. Time-keepers and starters were whispering together. What was the matter, anyway? Wliat was there to discuss?-but about Ken--? He couldn't have gone back on him. No, he wouldn't believe that. Some accident must have--wait! what was that! Someone was pushing his way rapidly through the crowd. Someone in a track suit-oh! he was -no-yes, he was KEN! Jimmie gave a low cry of delight, as Ken reported to the referee, and took his place in the line, right next to Jimmie! Kenneth gasped a little himself, when he saw his chum standing by his side, ready to race against him, but this was no time for explanations. The starter had raised his pistol. The runners knelt upon the chalk line which marked the start and the end. Suddenly, through the crowd a shrill, high voice rang out. Page One Hundred Four ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 Well, this is the sixth of April, but will it be an April Foolv on you- eh, Jimmie ol, boy? The crowd laughed, good-naturedly, but Jimmie, recognizing Teddy's voice, only smiled grimly, for the sudden realization that Teddy had called him by his real name, held him tense, for the moment, with a cold fear that he had been discovered! Crack! The pistol spoke, and they were off, amid wild cheering and yelling from the crowd. There were eight runners, and all were running fairly evenly, when they turned the first bend in the track, and disappeared from sight. By chang- ing their positions and taking higher stations, the people were able to see the runners well, throughout most of the course, with the aid of Held-glasses, and all watched the contestants eagerly, identifying them by the large numbers upon their backs. There goes Number 9l Say, who is he, anyway? Aw, Number 1's got him beat a mile, just what 'him take that jump. Say! That boy,s a wonder! Whois the little kid in the rear, anyway-Number 5-heas sure losing out! And so went the cries, boasts and laments, as favorites lost, gained, or held their own. The race went on. Half the distance had been covered, and two were hope- lessly behind. 'Still farher they went. Two-thirds of the way around, and another boy fell back. The crowd was growing tense. Here would come the real test-this last sprint for home. Eagerly they watched, all wondering who would first break the tape, who would carry off that 3100.00 One more boy dropped behind. Now there were four fellows running evenly, with even chances. Who would win? Teddy was wild with excitement, for someone had just said, i'There goes Number 7. Number 7 is crawling upf' And Number 7 was Jimmie! But though he passed three, he could not pass the fourth, and the strain was beginning to tell on him. Number 6 was in the lead, and apparently, could not be passed, for as the home goal came within sight, he started a sprint which quickly put his competitors far behind him. I twas wonderful running, the crowd could not deny that, even though the runner was a stranger, for no one seemed able to identify him. And so, some four minutes later, when Number 6 crossed the home line, he was greeted with loud cheering in fact, fair pandemonium broke loose. He could run, though he was a stranger, and Dayton citizens prided themselves on being good sports. A little later, the other three contestants who, for a time, had kept so closely to his heels, drew near, and, as they drew still closer to the finish, one boy separated himself from the other two, and forged rapidly ahead. With a spurt he was over the line, then, stumbling, fell into the waiting arms of Ken. Immediately after receiving the 35100.00 prize, Ken helped his friend from the field, toward the dressing quarters. One hour later, Ken and Jimmie were seated in Stephen McLane's living room, receiving congratulations from the whole family. Jimmieis brain was still in a muddle. He could not understand. He must explain it all now. The race was over, Ken had won his 55100.00-now he would tell everything. Mr, McLane, he started wearily, I've been deceiving you right along. I'm not Kenneth Lawrence, lim Jim----.', 'Page One Hundred Five ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 Bless my soul! laughed Mr. McLane, good-naturedly. l'd almost for- gotten you didn't know. lt's I, who have the confession to make. You see it was this way: The day Bobas ankle was broken Teddy drove down with the chauffeur to the doctor's, to bring Bob home, and he got a good look at Ken 'before he drove away. He knew from the first day you arrived, you were not Ken. So when he told me, I thought I'd tease you a bit, as you had intended to tease me, but I must say, you played up gamely. Now, how about accepting a couple of hundred from me, on the same condition I've made with Ken, for his other hundred-of working for a time-during college, to pay for half of it. One hundred, of course, goes straight from me, sort of as-er-your splendid example of self-sacrifice for a friend. Jimmie gazed about, Hrst in wonder, then delight. Reaching over, he shook first Ken's hand, then Stephen McLane,s. Thank you, sir, it's a bargain, he said gratefully, and then, heaving a great sigh, wailed, 4'But who said 'Ignorance is hliss?f '7 CONSTANCE CROOKSHANK, '24. THE WIND AMONG THE TREES To me it is never a tiring pleasure to watch the trees when they are being rocked by a heavy wind. With each new gust of air there is an new move- ment. First the trees sway suddenly until it seems they must break and then with the same suddenness, sway on a different angle. They have half a human appearance as if they were persons playing tag. One tree bends toward its neighbor while its neighbor seems to try to elude its grasp and then with a sudden movement the positions are reversed. It is then that the trees seem to have a spirit of good will and playfulness, making the watchers feel the same. There are times when the wind, merely a breath of air, barely ruilles the leaves, making them appear lazy and contented as if asking to be let alone. At night the trees become different beings, like Dr. Jekyll changed to Mr. Hyde. They now assume the roll of howling and melancholy phantoms, rushing at one another as if in great anger, while the wind, moaning and roaring around them seems to complain against the world. They hint of mystery, the unknown which we dread, and those things which make us shudder and wish to get away. PERLE CAMPBELL, '22. Page One Hundred Six W 'ET V'fi??E 'P!' . ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 DAWN AMoNG THE HILLS A HE blackest hour of night, the hour just before the dawn, had come. It was so dark that from what he could see, a person could not have told g whether he was in the midst of a vast plain or in some little valley QQ T among the hills or mountains. The only sounds to be heard were the as eta gentle murmuring of the brook and the faint rustling of the cool night breeze. Overhead the stars twinkled in quiet peacefulness. Now and then there was a faint Hash across the sky as some little fragment from space dashed into the earth's atmosphere. A few minutes later the stars began to fade. Soon only a few of the brightest were left, pale in the lightening gray of the sky. Then these last re- mainders of the dark faded out. On yonder western hill top there suddenly appeared a gleam of yellow. Somewhere a bird begins to twitter, and another burst into joyous song to welcome the coming day. The sleepers stirred in their blankets beneath the giant oaks. One of them crawled out from the blankets, warmth, and soon a little fire was blazing merrily. The sunlight gradually came down the hillis slope and the valley was Hooded with light. Another day had dawned among the hills. GILBERT H. DUNSTAN, '22.

Page One Hundred Ten ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 EXCHANGES The coming together, the association, and above all the interlocking of ideas make society and fashion it accordingly. So it is with all works of art, literat- ure, paintings, inventions, music, all feel the influence, the precedent which has been set by society, by art. Our Ariel of 1922 portrays the work of Santa Ana Poly High School, but throughout, it is influenced by the precedent, the welding factor which the twenty exchanges have given it from the twenty different schools throughout our country. I can mention only a few of these exchanges, but all have helped to make The 1922 Arieln what it is, and we thank and appreciate these schools. We hope that our 1921 Ariel has helped and is a great influence in welding other 1922 annuals throughout our great Country. KANSAS CITY NAUTILIS Iam from Missouri, that thar place where we have to be shown, er nothin' doing? The old boy, Nautilis breezed into the exchange office from Kansas City, defying Southern California or the rest of the Union to produce a better year book. Somehow, if I lived in Missouri, I would feel the same, for it was good. The Nautilis is dedicated as follows: To our forefathers, whose sacrifice planted freedom in our land, this, the 1921 Nautilis is dedicated. The Pilgrim pen pictures sprinkled throughout the book are unique. The literary department, especially a short story, In the Hills of Scotland, and MFootholds,', an essay by the editor, are really col- lege stuff. The Seniors looked nice', in the picture of the last class dance-real stuff. As for football, the corn-fed huskies looked like hard fodder for any team. THE JANUS OF HARTFORD, CALIF. The Copa De Ora, S. 0. S. Tamakwa Tache, Chilwa Ha Camp, Tomake Tanda, Agriculture club, and lastly Pig club are just a few clubs portrayed in the Gflanusv of Hartford, Calif. If the organization of clubs in a school is a sign of sociability, Hartford is running over with good will. Next to the great variety of clubs, the ulanusn impressed me because of the fact that Miss Gallup, a past teacher in the intermediate and high schools of Santa Ana, is the head of the language de- partment at Hartford. POLYTECHNIC HIGH SCHOOL, LOS ANGELES The '4Polytechnic Student of the Los Angeles Polytechnic is some big baby. Your assortment of pictures is the best we have seen-especially the birds-eye view of Poly, taken from an aeroplane. Somehow, old fashioned or not, we like a better and bigger literary department and not quite so many interesting pages of advertising-we admit it helps to make a book look big and business-like. Your football pictures and writeups on your 1920 city championship teams makes one feel the spirit and enthusiasm which you all must have felt. lt is a great feeling to have a championship team. Page One Hundred Eleven ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 THE NAUTILUS, SANTA MONICA HIGH SCHOOL In remembrance of the athletic success during the year 1921, we hereby dedicate this 1921 Nautilus to Coach Vincent Williams Shuttf' Somehow, we of the Santa Ana Polytechnic High School, sense a kindred spirit in 'Santa Monica High, first Santa Monica has shown itself to be one of the best sports we have have met in athletics in the past year, second, as we see the picture of the Big Silver Football, which stood predominant over your nineteen other trophies and then look at the same football, lording over our trophy case, we cannot help but feel in spirit with each other. After soaring in the clouds of praise and reminiscences, I will speak of your Nautilus, It personifies a four square school but, for one 'big exception, we fail to find the literary department. Perhaps with Southern California football championship you thought literature was a minor in your Nautilus, but again we feel that to make a worth-while year-book live, the mental side must be develop- ed. Seven hundred dollars worth of curtains, shades of crimson, amber, and blue - -these are a few of the features which characterized the production of f'Richard the III.' To produce a Shakespearian drama in a high school and give two con- secutive performances, with audiences which tax the capacity of your auditorium, means a big thing for any school to put over, and we think it is worth while. MTHE LAKE BREEZEV, SHEBOYGAN, WIS. The Lake Breezef, from Sheboygan, Wis., seemed to be breezy enough while blowing, but the material wind died down to a dead calm and a lot of advertis- ing. The group pictures of the different classes were especially interesting. As one compared the Freshmen with their short pants and long hair, with the ostentatious wrinkle-browed Seniors, one could not help but feel humanity changes every four years, 'even if it is the same Dick, Harry and Mary underneath, society has left its stamp, good or bad, on the surface. The President of the Senior class of 1921 gave an address' to the students one big bug bear, education, which would pass for the address of a college president. THE TIGER OF HASTINGS, NEBRASKA - Different', is one of the big differences in the Tiger of Hastings, Nebr. Wllhe Wives of Solomon, a touching little tale, written by a sweet, unobtrusive, lady-like individual, made one's heart throb for the poor, broken man with his ninety wives. The young authoress must have seen John Barrymore in '4The Lotus Eater, for the plot was seemingly congruent, with the exception of the ninety wives. Simple philosophy, a department carried on by nuts, was interesting and instructive. Two of the philosophies are stated below: 4'Why go to church, when a rubber heel will save your soul?,' Another dreamy philosophy: A Heads, I go to the movies, Tails I go to the '4Y.', If it stands on end I studyf' Page One Hundred Twelve ., ,, I, ARIEL SANTA A-NMA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 From the above, I figured some of the students from HHastingsH have man- dered to southern California. The football pictures, both poses and action, were the cleanest and best I have seen, with the exception, I hope, of these in this issue, which I have not seen, as yet, tlrishj. On the last page of the book 'was something differ- ent for a a year-book, at least, if not in life. A beautiful pen picture with the great old sea and sky as the background and predominant over these are two figures, not noticing the sky, the sea or the universe, but preparing only to have the ufinisw which is so common to our every-day movies-not mentioning life. THE ARTISAN OF MANUAL ARTS, LOS ANGELES 4'The Artisani' with its two thousand five hundred and thirty copies, of Manual Arts, Los Angeles, without doubt, is the biggest and most complete year- book of our southern California contributors. The big book was in reality a Spanish edition with its ucuadros de caballeros y senoritasf' and a sprinkling of Spanish speech and customs throughout. El Diaro of El Rancho Manual Artsf' is a pleas- ing and individualistic semi-English and Spanish diary of the activities of the past year.. The past year at Manual must have been quite uSpanishy,, because the Senior play, The Alcalde of Los Angelesf, was written and produced by the Seniors. The story portrayed was typically Spanish and dealt with the history and romance 'of Los Angeles. Stanley Wheelock, a student of the Junior College of Sana Ana, helped to write and produce this Spanish play, also, according to the Artisan,,' he was as-L sociate editor of the Weekly and wrote a thrilling tale for the Artisan entitled, The Indian Revengef' which in itself, was not as melodramatic as the name por- trays. Another feature of the literary department entitled, Unknown Land, by C R. Hughes, did credit to a man of letters, and is, without doubt, a shorter produc- tion of one of Conan Doylels adventure stories of a learned professor in South America. Why not give Doyle a little credit? A few of the personal experiences of Geo. M. Corney, aviator W:l6, in the World war, was written by a returned service man, and a teacher at Manual, was entirely fitting and one could not help but awake a little of the sleeping pride and patriotism we felt at the time of the war for our country, flag, and fighting men as one reads the thrilling experiences of this man. 6'The Artisan staff can be proud of the fact that The Artisan is a complete school and class history and that the literary department and all the activities of the school are set forth in an interesting and worth-while manner. 'GBLUE AND WHITE -LOS ANGELES HIGH 4'The Spirit of Conservationf, a phrase which should bring home to each of us, thrift, a guarding, protecting and preserving attitude as to national and per- sonal resources, is what the 4'Blue and White,' of Los Angeles High is dedicated. As one reads and studies through the edition, one feels that someone on the staff had an ideal, a vision which helped to influence the character of the book and, I believe also, the character of the readers. Some of the essays which showed individual thought fwhich is somewhat unusual with high school students and the worldj are The Preservation of the Forestsf' 4'The Conservation of Waterf, The Conserva- Page One Hundred Thirteen ARIEL SANTA ANA HIGH SCHOOL 1922 tion of Petroleum, and lastly, an interesting essay which dealt with the jazz craze and other infirmaties of youth, entitled? 'fThe Conservation of Youth,', are a few of the conservation essays represented. The pictures of Lake Tahoe, Roosevelt Dam, Grand Canyon, Glacial Point, Yosemite, Signal Hill oil well fire and lastly, some imposing pictures of the Boulder dam site, which, when constructed, will furnish water power and irrigation water for Nevada, western Arizona and southern California, are interesting. The L'Blue and White is interestingly different and, as our editor-in-chief says, I can't see it as a year 'bookf' Very little is said of the history of the school in the past year, of the Senior class, of the work of the student body which is, according to the general preception, the main and fundamental function of a year book.. The Blue and White can be compared, in a slight degree, with the Geographic Magazine, which in itself is a compliment, but as a year book it falls short of being a reality. We cannot help but compliment Los Angeles High in producing a book which is indiv- idualistic and visionary. If one had vision and was broad enough, one' could ap- preciate the Blue and White as a year book, but as I see it, it is one of the most interesting and worth-while works I have seen. -l-i- CAN YOU IMAGINE?
