Friend, friend, know ye not how it is writ? Know ye not of the fyve Great Peoples whose historic shall go to niaken one great Boke? These then are the le- gends; ponder ye on the wayes and customs of the Lande; there are manie who stryve for queer re- wards, usynge always much tact; and they a-e mayking lyttyll subjects for a Greater Lande. There are those who, on palfreys gayly trapped, have taken their way into that Greater Lande. There they are passing through a strange place of ' Looking Backway ' where wondering, sorrowynge, and reconcylynge must be done in good measure. Then unto them comes a light, a purpose, and they journey without care for the sorrowynge. Manie and obscure are those, new unto the Lande, who apply themselves diligently unto bokes or wander in quest of adventure. Those there are who fol- low the way of young desyre, dreaming of fairie Ettare but who wake to fynde the vsion faded. But glory cometh unto them who, in their last year in the Lande. having waked, have all the worlde at- tendynge to their new dreams as bryghte as fyre. And the stranger to whom the dredfulle Sorcerer hadde mayde thys strange replie yet wondered. I ucniy-onc Artrl ' ZB iiititiittiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii PRECEPTORS JVarne Subject D. K.

And long they roved in quest of high adventure, and long thev toiled through perils and dark woods, and to some there came reports of strange fair castles wherein there were all manner of wondrous treasures. Thus ventured manv unto far courts. Thereat they have found limitless riches of the mind. Thereat they have perceived beauteous sights and heard sweet sounds, which it is not given unto churls to see or hear. Herein find the roll of knights and damsels errant, the castles unto which they journeyed, and the treasures which they seek thereat.

Amongst this motley throng were a few who developed great skill in the art of basketball-throwing, and by diligent labor did win the Southern California Class C Basketball title, thus bringing about rejoicing amongst their fellows. Sore perplexed were the pages in selecting goodly men to conduct their affairs in the land, but at length it befell that these were chosen: President Margaret Cael)e ' !ce-President Nellie Hershey Secretary-Treasurer . Don Harwood Generator Reporter Worth Bal)l)itt And anon, after nine months of diligent labour, these pages had absorbed great knowledge of divers subjects and became squires, thus beginning their final training for knighthood. Fred Johnston, a youthful squire of much wisdom, did win for himself and his. fellows passing great glory upon the battlefield of knowledge, by being heralded state president of the California Scholarship Federation. Howard Paul, an obscure squire, did bring great surprise to his fellow men when he broad-jumped twentv-two feet and more, thus winning many prizes. Many a squire did sav that Paul would perform greater deeds when he became a knight. The worthy squires who led the company this year were First Sfmester Secund Sr?)icslrr George Decker President . rtluir Norman Warren Hamilton .

Gerald Knglish. and Allan McDerniott did strive valiatitly upon the gridiron and distinguished tliemselves as fearless and clever football men. Gerald English, Howard Paul, Gerald Twist, Robert McKean, and Everett Berry did bring more glory to the land by making goodly records in track meets. And, I wot well, not alone were the knights in deeds of chivalry, for did fair daniosels distinguish themselves passing well. Yea, did Mary Jane Owens, president of the League of Maidens, and Evelvn ount. Captain of Girls Basketball Team and President of Senior Class, achieve great honour. And Thelma Morehouse was chief scribe of the Generator and Catherine Best of the Ariel. So many were the number of valorous and deserving knights, that great strug- gles ensued in the election of those to lead this company. After bitter political jousts, the following knights were elected: Warren Hamilton President Evelyn Ymint Robert McKean Vice-President Wendell Jordan Lillian Odisho Secretary Treasurer Catherine Best Mary Jane Owens Generator Reporter Thelma Moorehouse Hubert Gohres _ Yell Leader Ed Perry Tiienty-seifn GEORGE EDWARD ADAMS Hislon: Class C Baskelhall 23; Qass B Football 24. 25: Class B Basketball 21, 25: Track 25. 26: Baseball 26.

And in tournament and game played they a part more arduous ;tnd of greater renown. Squires of the body were there, while many, knighted be- fore their tijne, did engage in major combats. Thus was it that Ralph Selway, Dean Milieu, Chet Seigel. and Guy Har ey. attired in jesseraunts of double mail, served valiantly in major tournament, while in basketball fought Harry Rademaiher, Jud- son Riley. Thomas Hitt. James iVlusic, and Hubert Prior. And upon the curving cinderpath strode Harvey Baer to glory. And many damozels bore the banner of their class: Catherine Walbridge, Janet Wilson, Virginia Brannon, Jean Nicholson, Alberta Broinell, and Gayle Baldwin. And in the art .of debate, of all Juniors the champion was Da id Rohcils. And witii streiuRius gesticulation Clarence S]jraguc led the raucous cheering. ea. one ol the fair damozels, Virginia Brannon, sat in the migluv Board of Control as Secre- tary of the Student Body. And full well have the Juniors used their limitless vigor in all school and club affairs. Squires being permitted to engage in the amusements of llic iuili. came llic Juniors unto the Junior-Senior Ho]). And thereat full well shewed llicv their skill in the arduous Charleston.

Here, under the supervision of the lords and ladies of the faculty, learned they the arts of hawking, of singing, and of plaving chess: and learned they the mysteries of the woods and of the rivers. Learned they also to respect the church, to be obedient, serviceable, and courteous to seniors, and to cherish a lady love. Many were there of great aptitude in these arts and also in joust and tourna- ment. And for skill and bra ery upon the field, the annals of Polv are graven with the names of Mearl Youel.

Ill the front rows — the seats of honor — sat the greasy truck-drivers. It was the custom of each one of these to pull a hair from his own head for every child that he killed. Many were bald! Behind them were seated the taxicab-drivers, intent upon the dailv comics. The general motoring public was arranged in the remaining sections. In a reserved balcony some light-headed women drivers were gossiping, only those having been admitted wlio were most proficient in making alibis. Sprawling in the aisles were the habituallv intoxicated drivers. These controlled the convention and were most influential of all P. K. ' s. The convention opened with the drunkards proposing the following resolutions: 1 1 I All sidewalks shall hereafter be opened to automobile traffic. (2) The bottoms of all telephone poles shall be suspended not less lliaii ten feet above the ground. (3) All railway trains shall stop at grade crossings. (4) Life-like dummies shall be placed on all public highways to further enhance the joys of motoring, inasmuch as all pedestrians have been exterminated. This brought a fiery, cross-eyed taxicab driver to his feet. Fellow motorists and ye pie-eyed gentlemen in the aisles! BE IT KNOWN THAT A PEDESTRIAN YET LIVES! Where? and Who is he? arose from the assembly amid gasps of astonish- ment. Several ladies fainted in the reserve section. and uncrippled. The situation is deplorable! Let us not for one moment allow our power and prestige to be weakened by one so low. Speak your minds, gory brothers! ' Ten P. K. ' s rose from their seats simultaneously and their spokesman shouted: We speak in behalf of the tobacco-chewers of this assemblage. Our unanimous opinion regarding this undesirable scum is that he should be obliterated at once in order to avoid any strife among motorists. We hereby move that the Hit-and-Run Klan be delegated to efface this insidious creature. The rest of the P. K. ' s sent heavenward a shout of approbation and each loyal motorist sounded his klaxon. The motion was carried and the Hit-aiid-Run Klan at the back of the hall, grouped together for an executive conference. They conspired to rid themselves of that public nuisance, John Brown, the criminal, jay-walking, evil, law-scoffing pedestrian. On the other side of the citv lived Mr. Brown. The day of the coinenlion lie left his office and timidlv wound his wav in and out of the traffic, dodging automo- biles, trucks, taxicabs. and motorcvcles. He felt thai he had penetrated a nia e and was thoroughly exhausted when he arrived home that exening. After eating a heavy meal, he picked up the evening paper and discovered his fate as the last pedes- trian. In mental agony and torturing fear, he took a dose of aspirin and retired, hoping never to awaken.

Nightmares, visions of a bloody death, speeding auto;;, laces of vicious drivers, and the crunching sound of his own bones being powdered beneath the broad tires of a ten-ton truck raced through his mind. Phantom motorists pursued him thr ough the clouds of eternity. What horrors! He found himself fleeing down Broadway from a host of vengeful P. K. ' s! Whither could he rush? What could save him? A manhole appeared before him! Eureka! he shouted as he leaped into the darkness before him. John Brown knew no more. The next morning automobiles were waiting on everv corner and were pointing toward Brown ' s house. The Hit-and-Run Klan were waiting for Mr. Brown to come strolling out of his house. They planned to advance in their deadly steeds and crush out his insufferable existence. Thus they would effect his annihilation. At seven o ' clock John Brown had not yet started for his ofiBce. By eight o ' clock the Hit-and-Run Klan grew impatient. At nine o ' clock and no trace of the culprit, the Babe Ruths of motordom were unwilling to brook delav. A spy was chosen to awaken the belated John. On entering the bedroom the spy beheld a gruesome sight. He shrieked with joy and as he returned to the Klansmen, he cried, ' The day is ours! John Brown has gone to the land where the pavement ends. For he had seen John Brown, grim and black, hastened on lo liis doom by nervous prostration. WIND OF FANCY BY FRED JOHNSTON The shrieking wind gathered the bitter, choking dust from the narrow street and Hung it cruelly into the face of the struggling black-caped figure. It was a fearful night to be on the streets. Seldom did an intrepid person dart from cover to cover in a futile effort to escape the beating, roaring wind, which seemed to be at war with all the city. A gas lamp at an intersection shone in a pale, flickering halo of light, casting a weird indistinctness over the buildings and shadows. Perhaps, when the ghostly light of the lamp flickered higher, one might have noticed a shudder pass over the darkened face of the figure with tlie black cape. The form apprehensively shunned an alley whence issued, in the fangs of the wind, an odor of cheap alcohol and rank tobacco, and a babble of excited, drunken voices. The wind increased, and wailed as if lost and maddened; in the fierce blast the gas lamps were now swinging and creaking dismally. Over the hoarse and terrible tumult of the wind, reigned a host of demons, laughing and crying in an orgy of mad excitement. The figure in the black cape darted on. Melting from sight among the other shadows, it appeared again, as a great flood of brassy light burst from the door of a low cottage, around which the w ind cried in defeated fury. The gas flames sputtered and flared: the ponderous lamps swung to and fro; and the wind wailed loudly, terribly. The door closed; the black shadow of a moment before had vanished. Fljlylhree Arifl ' 2fi lllllllllllllliniHhHHniltlllllllllllllNINIJnMIMUItllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHIHHMHIKIIIIIIIIIIIlniinHIIIUIIhllll LU WUNG ' S BY ARTHUR NORMAN A favorite haunt of the underworld; a hatchery of crimes; a den of vice; for many, an end of the trail; a frequent host to the police; all of this and more wa Lu Wung ' s, a notorious dive of New ork ' s chinatown. To the uninitiated it appeared to he merely a chop suey joint. Little hooths lined the side walls, and bamboo tables were strewn down the center of the floor. F or private parties, there were small rooms in the rear. Only the friends of Lu Wung could procure these, but then, anyone with money was Lu s friend. The walls were covered with exquisite paintings of old China. The ceiling was a maze of great green dragons with fiery eyes and flaming tongues. The floor, a unique part of this Oriental palace of pleasure, was made of rij)pling rows of polished bamboo wood. To Lu Wungs came the voungcr elite of New orks society on their frequent and |(o|)ular sknnming paities. Here, they would eat, drink, and be merry. What fun they had! They danced, sang, and made fools of themselves. The bamboo floor was a source of great amusement. Dancing on it was impossible, but then the crowd at Lu s liked the impossible. Any couple who could dance the Charleston on that floor with its myriads of bumps and crevices was considered good. Many tried, but most of them succeeded only in falling in a sprawling heap on the floor amid applause and cheers from the crowd. This hilarious fun usually ended by dawn, for the crowd was either too tired, too sleepy, or too drunk to go on; then it was known that every respectable girl got in by seven o ' clock in the morning. The homeward flight then began, and with it, the paying of checks. If one was too drunk to get his money out, Lu would hcl]i him. If some careless person had lost hi,5 check, Lu figured the bill up again, doubled it, and everything was 0. K. Lu Wung ' s income was enormous, but not from his chop suey joint. The great- est part of his money came from his basement. What a basement it was! It is doubtful whether there is one like it anywhere. There men could satisfy any passion uith which they were possessed. If they wanted to gamble, it was easy to do so. If their tired and broken bodies craved dope, it was easy to get. All of these things were to be had at reasonable prices, for Lu Wung conducted a volume of business in his basement of vice. Three A. M. A fearful yell of fire ! A stampede for the doors. The clang- ing of fire bells a?id hoarse shouts of the firemen. It was too late to save Lu Wung ' s. for the old delapidated and wretched haunt was enveloped in flames. The gay pleas- ure-seekers, who an hour before had been eating and dancing, now watched the flames, leap toward the sky, and the ashes loaded with filth and wickedness ascend into the great open spaces of the heavens, where the vellow claw-like hands of Lu Wung did not reach. hijlyjimi iiiiiiNiiiinniiiiiiiiiinnMiiinHmmtimiiiiitiHHniiiiMiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiHiHminiitiommHiHiirmiiHMMiiiiiiMiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiMiiiit Artpi ' ae ON SKETCHING FROM LIFE BY CATHERINE BEST From the comparative safety of the assemhiy platform a speaker harangues the students on the infinite details of flag etiquette. Pondering that the school flag is left to linger on its pole all night, especially on rainy nights, we surrender and turn restlessly in the hard seat. In the vast hall there is only the low sound of people sleeping and the hellowing of the man on the stage. In a far corner a girl sleeps, head thrown back. We fumble for some paper, for if ever we shall catch a moment ' s elusive charm, we shall have fulfilled the true purpose of sketching from life. Quickly our inspired pencil blocks in the sweep of her hair, the curve of her tilted chin, the long line of her throat. She becomes restless under our scrutiny, stirs, turns — and the picture is lost. But no, not lost, for on the paper there is a rough idea of the quiet beauty of her pose. Imagination fills the incompleted lines, as the artist could never do. A teacher dozes, breathing rhythmically, his chin on his chest. As the high- lights on his shining bald head and the admirable bump on his nose are being reproduced on paper, a courageous fly, careening over the smooth surface, tickles him into wakefulness. The voice of the speaker rushes in like the roar of a radio. e turn to discover a boy in sullen contemplation of his Senior ring. Aha! Addition of whiskers will make a Bolsheviki planning a bombing! He seems to feel our gaze and fidgets. He urns his finger between his collar and his neck and pulls at his tie, meanwhile emu- lating an ostrich swallowing oranges. He squirms. X Tien the commotion seems to have ceased, we open our patient eyes to discover only a view of the back of a head and two enormous ears. How wearisome the quest for art. But w ' e are rewarded with another living picture. A Sophomore, round-eyed, studies the gesticulating gentleman on the stage. The full curves of her chin and throat, the rounded lines of her arms and wrists, and the sweeping folds of her skirt flow through our pencil to the paper. She senses our look and turns. She preens; she ruins her soft hair-line and straightens out the interesting folds of her skirt. She settles herself in a supposedly languid and exotic pose and smirks for our look of admiration. The look is not forthcoming. Now we have always suppressed a desire to wear tight black velvet dresses with great swinging sleeves, to breathe forth subtle perfume, and to sit in languorous ))oses, a long black Mexican cigarette drooping from our carmined lips. Here the desire flies to hide its face. It is made ridiculous, grotesque, pathetic — by a Sopho- more. Sinking, disillusioned, we catch a glimpse of our Secret Sorrow studying a five months old copy of Judge. Again life seems interesting. We straighten up. By sitting sideways in our seat and leaning out over the aisle, we may see to draw his curly hair, his acquiline nose, his lips — the Sophomores stare. The bell rings. Thus endeth the sketching lesson.

A strange sweet music swelled; and as the soft melody of its ethereal cords approached, a great glimmering star grew brighter, shedding its argent gleams over the land, and bathing all in the vast flood of its light. Low chanting voices came on the breath of the music and wa.xed louder, more insistent and magical, surging and falling in dreamy modulation, the true speech of ecstatic incantation. Mists and shadows fled from the light and from the beauty of the song. A drum beat and a pipe shrilled to a scream, commanding men and mystic figures to issue forth, to forego ease and repose, and to join in frenzied revelry. The songs and the reverberant beating of the drums triumphed. From the land came spirits and players, grotesquely arrayed, strangely and fiercely bedizened, transform- ing the earth into the liall of Gehenna. Flames insaliable ami pfi|iftual leaped up. torturing the thousands and cnu- suming them. The vouth gazed, listening as though the sight were but a passing spectacle; yet even as he gazed he felt himself drawn toward the v iiirling figures of the awful dance with their fierce salaams, fantastic gyrations, and violent outbursts of Bacchic frenzy unveiled and unashamed. He found himself aniidsl the shouting crowd within the flames, in the strange power of music, in the magistral spell of the dance; he was chanting and dancing — one of the thousands whirling in the fearful orgy. He exulted in the agonv. the suffering, and the unearthly pleasures of the blatant throng; and was exalted. For he was no longer himself, and the flames did not burn nor the awful frenzy consume. PRISON BY LAWRENCE WALBRIDGE Gradon Prison, December 25, Bulletin: Number 711. James Denny, alias Jimmy the Dip. died today. Death came from natural causes at ten o ' clock this morning.

Der ain ' t no death in his |)lace: it ' s all murder, rotten murder. But I ' ll get ' em fer it! As the gang lined up to go to work, number lo9 kept looking at the ground. His eyes stared as though they saw a ghost, and his lips were working convulsively. His will was forcing something. All day he worked with feverish intensity, the veins in his temples seeming about to burst. At night he sat motionless on the edge of his cot, his lips forming the same words over and over again in a frenzy of con- centration. Weeks followed, and each night in Pete ' s cell the same words formed a hot whisper that burned his brain to fever. His mind was centered furiously on a supreme effort to accomplish what his will yet had strength to urge. At dawn of one grey day the tolling of the prison bell marked the final defeat of a will that had been over-powerful. Today a new man has number ItW and tonight the warden will give him the jacket for attempting suicide.

Out of the babble of everyone ' s talking at once comes a cry designed to startle everyone into action: Batter up! It produces none of the desired effect, however. If anything, the groups close in tighter as if to exclude further interruption. Batter up! is the next time emphasized by a ball ' s being thrown at the girls occupying the home-plate. It instills into them, besides a few bruises, the spirit of the game. The cry is taken up and the groups disband. After innumerable arguments as to who is to stand where, the basemen, or their equivalents in girl ' s baseball, lounge about within easy walking distance of their bases, and the fielders wander out into the field and finally settle down in a group with the short-stops. The pitcher, finding a ball placed in her hands, gives it a sling in the general direction of the catcher, who, seeing it coming, reaches out to catch it and then, realizing its velocity, gives a frantic shriek and jumps aside. After the pitcher is acclaimed a bad one and the catciier even worse, the game gets under wav. By main force someone is brought up to bat and after two vain attempts she hits the ball. The ball goes uninterrupted on its way. missed in succession by the pitcher, the second baseman, and two fielders, who are awakened from their reveries by excited shouts to Catch it, catch it and who dash madly about looking for something to catch. The ball is recovered and the game goes on. Purely out of the basemen ' s lack of interest a home run is made and the grou])s stop their chatter long enough to praise the runner noisily and then they resume their talk. The center of discussion and argument is the batter ' s bench. Scathing criticism and hilarious renuirks are given out to the girls in the field and long distance arguments take place between them and the girls on the bench. The umpire, taking her life in her hands, dares to assert that someone made an out. She has little effect on the spirit of the game, however, and the general rule seems to be that one shall stay up at bat until she hits the ball, regardless of the time it takes. When anyone catches a ball, especially a fly, the commotion is equiva- lent to that aroused by a circus in a small town. Throughout the game, as a matter of course, runs the spirit of the game, inslilled by a fast ball and knocked out by a whistle, the spirit of talking all you can. hearing all you can, shrieking all yon can. and paying as lillie allcnlion lo llie game as possible. MIDNIGHT BY ELIZABETH HEEMSTRA The rider checked his horse on the crest of a hill, and there came to liis ears a low distant murmur. The sea? No, the sea lay far to the westward. The moon with her host of helpers watched through the dark curtain of ihe night. Below, a quiet village lay heavy with sleep. One or two points of light were the only signs of life. Now and again the hoot of an owl or the night cry of an animal in distress caused the observer to start. The sound which he had heard became clearer and nearer. It had changed from a murmur to a rumble. The roll of thunder, perhaps. A slight breeze, arousing both horse and rider, brought with it a sense of uneasiness.

The powerful figure was not fatigued. His one bright eye stared forever ahead, pressing onward. Behind the body a long chain of objects followed obediently. They seemed to realize that they were under the control of a more powerful one. Swinging from side to side, they seemed almost ready to be overthrown and ruined; but on thev followed. Then the deep reverberative noise decreased. It became a rumble, a murnuir. a distant utterance. The disturbing invertebrate crept slowlv awav. Four distant blasts as a farewell and it was gone. The hush of midnight again ruled. All that remained was a column of smoke overhanging the village. The rider nioxed slowh awav. No more trains until morning. A TRAGEDY OF SPRING BY VIRGINIA POWELL With deadly weapon poised he stood waiting, for the moment which he should deem opportune to relieve of the worries of existence one who had done him no harm and intended him none. As he glared pitilessly at his cowering ictini. his face was set with hard lines and his eyes were cruel. After towering above the innocent sufferer at his feet for some lime, evidently gloating over its helplessness, he spoke. With unbearable insolence he fairly s])al the words at the one who was so entirely in his power. ■■ ell. he sneered, have you anything to say for yourself before yon die? You worm! There was a moment of silence and then — the sharp edge of his weapon flashed through the air. The dreadful deed was done. The murderer, leaning against a nearby tree, gazed thoughtfully upon the lifeless bodv of the victim of his malicious intentions. His weapon lay upon the ground. His exultation, however, was not to last, for a shrill voice pierced his reverie as a pin might have done an inflated balloon. Johnny. ' it shrieked, u ith a decided emphasis on the last syllable, how many times do I have to tell you to get to liork? Now hurry up! Johnny glanced at the hoe and the dead earth worm, which, by his act had recently been severed in two, picked up what had been his weapon, and with a shrug of his shoulders exclaimed. Aw heck!

But an immediate obstacle she encountered, for lier husband, Stephen, staunchly remained an heathen. And when tiie emotional Mrs. Brewster had worked Ijer visiting sister, her long suffering husband. and herself nigh unto nervous prostration by prognostication of dire calamities unto those who accepted not psycho-analysis; her sistci and her husband rebelled. And privately they constructed a plot whereby they pre- tended to discover that Mabel cherished a suppressed desire for Stephen. Thereupon. Mrs. Brewster, flying into an hysterical rage, renounced all psycho-analysis for evermore. And far spread the renoun of Mistress O ' Toole for her clever raging and likewise the fame of Beth Nunn as the credulous and frightened sister. THURSDAY EVENING Laura Minna Schraep Gordon Howard Youel Mrs. Sheffield Dorothy Haynes Mrs. Johns Lorene Matney Junior Jack Foust And upon the slender silk-clad shoulders of a youthful bride rested passing great and sore responsibilities. And these were a large house, an absent servant, a visit- ing mother and mother-in-law, and a baby. So heavy waxed these burdens that the young dame grew restive and spake harsh words to the sixth burden. Gordon, her hus- band. Chuckled the audience, and also pitied they the wearv wife. But in truth they shrieked with laughter when the economic, mayhap parsimonious, husband removed lettuce, meat, and bread from the garbage can. Then, indeed, did Laura seem to be nigh unto murder. It befell, however, that the visiting mother and mother-in-lau estab- lished harmonv and peace. Then all forgot the strife when the lad of three in white pajamas toddled out to say, Goodnight.

Hugh ' s Fiancee Sara Hales Noel, a Friend id Mr. Ingals Lohr Bauer Elliot Kimherly. a Villain Warren Hamilton Leo Day. a Villain Howard Youel Aunt Julia Louise Turner Ronald. Julia ' s Son Virgil Reed Rhoda, the Cook Cleo Chambless There was chosen a Senior Play of exceeding difficulty, The Goose Hangs High, and also a cast of right good talents. Tiien in the courtvaid and castle reigned commotion. Knights and damsels rushed about and muttered strange sylla- bles. And oft, at dead of night, lights gleamed from the castle windows where patiently these chosen ones rehearsed. Then came the awesome time and into the hall, by blazing torchlight, poured the pages, squires, and knights with their lady loves. For upon this night none was alone. Suddenly all was dark and then arose the curtain upon a flood of magic light wherein moved familiar figures in strange garb and on new purposes. There Mydas Capps as the mother bestirred herself on kindly errands. And it is known that tears stood upon the lids of some when the mother wept because her children seemed calloused and careless and cold. And thereupon paced Randolph Bell, as the father, strangely burdened bv need of money to keep his frolicsome son and daughter, the twins, in college. Gasped all those looking on when he. in a sudden rage, ordered the villain from his door. Hut pitied they him when, realizing that his position and the money thencefrom were lost by this action, he rushed about frantically to find the villain to humble himself, and to apologize. And full cognizant, I wot, is Sir Bell of the value of emphasized exits — and dramatic entrances. And there was one who, in the transforming light, was completely changed. She, Minna Shraep, became, in truth, the aristocratic grandmother, disdainful and justly indignant at the continuous sacrifice of the Ingles for their careless children. And when Hugh, the elder son. returned home and attempted to embrace granny, the vast hall echoed with laughter as she loathingly warded him off and readjusted her- self stiffly upon the settee. Yea. a dramatic authority of renoun could find no flaw- in Minna ' s characterization of the haughty old lady. And there were two who rushed in having come home some two score miles from college in a dilapidated Ford. One score miles had they come on the rims. These, the twins, played by George Preble and Evangeline Cochems, full gaily ex- cited the wrath of granny and the anxiety of their parents. Yea, vassals made they of their family. But when these discovered their father ' s plight, abandoned they their follies and offered succour. Others there were: Hugh, played by Ed Perry: his fiancee, played by Sara Hales; two knaves, played by Warren Hamilton and Howard Youel; Ronald, played by Virgil Reed; Noel, played by Lohr Bauer; Julia, played by Louise Turner; and Rhoda. played by Cleo Chambless; all of whom moved before the audience and pleased them greatly. Thus in all realms have spread reports of the brilliant Senior Play and of its competent director. Sir Phillips. Sixty-five BAND And the troupe of minstrels of the manor of Poly, wearing its scutcheon upon their gav uniforms of red and white, were well schooled in the art of minstrelsy by one Sir Mustol. They, versed in many jocund lays, wandered into the neighboring manor of Anaheim and with their gleesome ballads won second prize in the Armistice Day Parade. Yea, with their genial roundelays, they did create passing great enthusiasms at football rallies and games. And upon that great and tragic day in San Diego, the band, resplendent in uniforms of red hauberks, white chausses. and red socks, made martial music that well bespoke the spirit of Santa Ana. And upon the concourse of many at assemblies, thev often shewed their art. And in like wise at the Music Department concert upon the eve of March 26, with gav soundings of flutes, horns, trumpets, cornets, and basoons, crashings of cymbals, and thwacking of drums, the band made harmony. Then before the assemblage of All Kubes ' Day the band was summoned forth from barracks constructed upon the stage. One by one, attired in grotesque and gawdy raiment, thev filed out and began to play sweet discords, and full well pleased were the assembled serfs at such seemly dis|)lay of folly. And unto them came glory surpassing all achievements, for in the Orange County Music Contest they were decreed first among all Bands. Yea, all vassals vow that full deserving are they of such iiigh honour. Sl ' .V V-Al.V ORCHESTRA Yea, there existed in the Santa Ana High School a company of musicians, known as the orchestra, who did privilv and with right great diligence pursue the art of making sweet sounds. And one Sir Mustol, of great and goodlv r epute, led their study and taught unto them many selections of surpassing difficulty. And therewithal, after long lahour. with amorous and ecstatic melodies they did serenade the Student Body. And full enraptured was the Student Body by their mellow tones. And at eyensong time. March 26. rode they forth into the auditorium. And not least among the minstrels of the Music Department program in producing har- monious tones was the orchestra. Anon, these troubadours, one score and fifteen in all. yenturing forth, came into the presence of a great host at the Masonic temple. Thereat they dismounted their palfreys and thrilled the assembled throng with music serene and beautiful, with serenatas and symphonies majestic, and with ballads of exceeding simplicity and pathos. And it was not alone the director, the cast, and the manipulators of the curtains and the lights, who made the Senior Class Play agreeable unto the ear and the eye but another band of helpers. And there must be mention made of the orchestra, for right gladly did they make soft melodies. In the great hall there echoed jeweled tones and cadences. ea, well could they produce clear ringing sounds. Sixty-seven HHHH 1 r 1 1 1 H 1 I GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB And in like wise did Mistress Mansfield choral the girls full well, with all man- ner of music appreciation, individual singing, and weekly programs. Therewithal. like so many singing hirds they trilled. So it befell that for the Parent-Teachers they carolled most sweetly. And attired in uniform rainment spotless white, they fluttered out before the assembled students, and over the footlights poured ecstatic melodies. This did they full oft. And it came to pass that there were great secret preparations, and on one morn they trooped down from the Room of Music and harmonized a passing majestic Yuletide Cantata. And upon the manor of Poly was their made great mention of Mistress Mansfield and of the Glee Cluli and of their skilled accompanist Mistress Mary Bruner. Then upon an eve in March, as fast as their palfreys might bear them, the members of the Music Department did gather and by torchlight present a marvellous arravment of skill. Not least in minstrelsy was the beauteous Girls Glee Club. And thev. being costumed in the raiment of the seventeenth century, with bouffant skirts and small gay hats, were like unto many gorgeous, fragile flowers or great, brilliant jiutterflies. Sixty-eight BOYS ' GLEE CLUB So it befell that among the knights there were many of voices rich and mellow. These banded into the Bovs ' Glee Club and under the admirable instruction of Mistress Mansfield learned placing of voice and development of tone qualitv. And in assemblv these gleemen did warm the hearts of all bv their jovial roundelays and gallant ballads. Right so at the concert presenting the full glorious Music Department, they raised their voices in dolorous ballads, solemn canticles, and genial rounds. But not eclipsed by their glory was their accompanist of dextrous fingers, the winsome Teresa Bement. And from their number, four ventured forth and formed a quartet of passing great abilitv. And these were bv names Faris Edgar. Clarence Rannev, illiam Schleicher, and Jack Lilly. These harmonized before the dowagers at a Parent- Teachers Meeting and before the band of barons at the Chamber of Commerce. . lso made they melody at the Music Department Concert. ea. in all realms spread the repute of the Glee Club and the four gallant courtiers of the Boys ' Quartet.

And the board of lords did meet, once with the passing of each week, to manage the affairs of the churls and to arrange assemblies of right great merit. And especially did the assembly upon the day of Rubes afford great jollity unto the serfs. Seventyjoiir SELF-GOVERNMENT First Semester Second Semester Jack Lilly Chairman Floyd Rister Mary Jane Owens Helen Battey Lillian Odisho Gayle Baldwin Wendell Jordan _ Arthur Norman Howard Paul Gerald Twist And in the barony of Poly there was held a Court of such speedy and efficacious action that it was like unto the market court of ' ' pieds poudres or court of dusty feet where accused ones were brought with shoes still gray with dust of travel. This, the Self-Governnient Committee, was heralded amongst the royal courtiers as one of passing great solemnity. Yea summons unto its chambers were inscribed upon the backs of awesome demerit slips. And strove these counsellors ardently to maintain order in the royal halls and corridors. A powerful secret ally had they, the Citizenship Rating Plan, and with it they preserved quietude and dignity in the royal assemblage. And they did lead the Knights and squires to a partial victory over the littered forces of King Trash. For unto the darksome chamber where sat the august body were dragged the caitiff knights. Many were there who in the presence of the bailiffs and the judges broke down and wept right sobbingly and repented them in truth.

And the divers members of the cabinet cherished a suppressed desire to meet a certain tall dark gentleman of athletic prowess. So they did deecree an Hello Day. Then armed with small Hello Day Cards thev did assay to set upon him unawares. But it befell that one giggled, and the ictini escaped. Not without any merit, however, was the day, for from the sale of cards, money was raised to the amount of ten dollars.

So they pawned their jewels and trinkets, and for each knight, bought a football blanket with his coat of arms emblazoned in the center. ea. this energetic cabinet did conduct jitney dances, whereat maidens did assume the part of knights. leading the other damosels over the smooth gvm floor while Mistress Owens did assault the trap drums. And through these dances many nickels poured into the hungrv coffers of the Girls League. And also did they sponsor a simulated radio program, whereat there was great jollity and singing by artists of goodly fame. And the gold, unto the sum of twenty dollars, they devoted unto the Scholarship fund of right great merit. By adventure there was held a Girls League Fashion show of passing elegance, which, bv mv trotli. did ()ortrav unique and daintv spring raiment. Gorgeous indeed was the spectacle like unto manv colored butterflies flitting about before the warm footlights. But thought they not alone of spring clothes and like follies, but with great compassion they provided moneys that a youth might go unto the Health Camp.

Williams And the sages of the barony were gathered together into two small rooms. There, compiling all their wisdom and opinions on current matters, as well as the news itself, they caused it to be printed upon sheets, cut, folded, and distributed among the churls. Thus might all feel the import of these ponderous minds. And upon one feast day of the year caused they to be printed pages of pure folly. These were the Degenerators. inscribed in green upon sheets of white, and for the day of all celebrating and worshipping published they a Christmas edition col- orful with mirthful red and green. Journeyed these sages far that they might belter know the art of publisliiiig weekly chronicles. Thus went they unto a convention at Glendale in the fall and to a meeting in the city of Long Beach in the spring. There, be it ever to the glory of the sages, the Generator was decreed the first in Southern California among all Class B papers. Sevcnty-ciglu DEBATING TEAM And ye debating season did open with a Isang. The first day of December found Lillian Odisho and Mvdas Capps journeying forth to Compton. where, with surprising eloquence for inexperienced orators, they did win a victory, the first which Santa Ana had secured for several seasons. And it befell on the eighth day of December that the first League debate was held. The question was Resolved: That capital punishment should be abolished in the state of California. The representatives on the negative were David Roberts and Jack Lilly, who won most valiently a 2-1 decision from their Orange opponents. The affirmative team, maids Mydas Capps and Lillian Odisho, were not so successful in their verbal battle with Anaheim. And it came about that on the fifth day of January, the affirmative team met Fullerton in an exciting clash, from which they did again emerge victorious. The question for the second series of debates was Resolved: That tax-exempt securities should be prohibited by an amendment to the Federal Constitution. And it came about that the negatives, Lillian Odisho and Mydas Capps, did win a 2-1 victory o er Huntington Beach. But in the meanwhile, the affirmatives, David Roberts and Jack Lilly, were overcome by Fullerton, whose victory was 3-0. ' Twas in the third series that the maids won a 3-0 victory over Garden Grove. The knaves did fail in their conquest, as Anaheim won 2-1. Be it known abroad that these debaters, under the guiding hand of Miss Erswell, did do nobly in representing our school.

TiJ.--- HAMMOND CLUB OF BELLES LETTRES First Semester Second Semester Allan McDermott President Mary Jane Owens Mary Jane Owens Vice-President Arthur Norman Fred Johnston Secretary-Treasurer Virginia Powell Margaret Carothers Critic Catherine Best Faculty Adviser, Mr. Glenn And it canie to pass that the Haniiiiond Club of Belles Letties, thioiigli the guidance and aid of Mr. Glenn, did continue to flourish and have steak-bakes. Twas l)y the black-ball system that they did choose the most literary of students as members. And this club of surpassing exclusiveness did meet twice every month to dis- cuss authors of great import and literary works of divers types. And bravely did they dissect the familiar essay, and explored the mysteries therein, learning withal the purposes and manners of such writings. Later with grave timerity they did attempt to emulate Christopher Morely and divers others in essays of their own. Yea, they did consider the works of one satirical gentleman Sir H. L. Mencken and various opinions therewith were presented, and one Sir Johnston did most vali- antly defend the good repute of Sir Mencken. And it was made known unto the chosen few that they must needs write a sketch suitable for publication. Tis folly to assay to describe these works of genius, as some were clever, some amusing, some solemn; but all, works ol perfection in their own classes. Eighty STRUT AND FRET CLUB President Howard Youel ice-President Lorene Matney Secretary -Treasurer Catherine Best Faculty Adviser, Mr. Phillips Then it was cryed unto all freemen of the Baronv of Polv that there would be made an organization for passing great achievements in the art of mummery. Thus was there a great horde assembled. Then, together, kneeling before Sir Phillips, took they the oath and were dubbed knights. And with the zeal of the newly con- verted, held they meeting, elected lords to lead them, and collected divers dues. It came to pass that they assembled at the home of Mistress ' inters. Thereat mingled jollity and solemnity, for. when divers weightv matters of state had been disposed of. there was presented a one-act play. This. Two Crooks and a Ladv, played by Juliet Evans. Virginia Powell. Eniil Foust. Mary Goodykoontz. Howard ouel, and Lohr Bauer, atf orded passing great amusement. Then indulged they themselves in gliding over the polished floor. And imbibed thev synthetic punch and masticated they small sweetmeats. Later did they revel at the castle of the Mistress Mary Jane Owens with discus- sion of divers plays and with poker-playing.

And they sojourned unto the Y. M. C. A. hut to listen to Miss Lasby. Yea, they returned full wiser than they had departed. And at ule-tide they were suininoned to a party. Thereat the Caesar class, schooled by Mistress Arnoldy, did present both a burlesque and a mummery of ex- ceeding beauty, respectively Hercules and Perseus and Andromeda. Yea, Hercules, written by Barbara Goodrich, Mary Allan, and William Jerome, did pre- sent most graphically and horribly the adventures of the one who sought the golden apples of Hesperides and slew the hydra and the lion. And many a maiden ' s heart beat faster at the sight of William Jerome as the gallant Hercules battling the snort- ing monsters. And full stately and majestic were Mistress Mary Bruner and Sir Homer Humphrey as Queen Cassiopia and the King in Perseus and Andromeda. Yea. racked by grief and despair, the king did nobly decide to sacrifice his daughter to the horrible dragon. Sweet and uncomplaining, Helen Allen as Andromeda, bound to the cliff, abode the monster ' s coming. Then, striding bravely forward, Sir Clar- ence Sprague, the noble Perseus, released the maiden and killed the strange monster. All joyed much at his heroic deeds. And in the spring they did assemble to a Roman banquet, of which more shall be told anon.

Thereat they did shew a play bespeaking the customs of a Spanish Christmas. So they departed and came to the castle of Mrs. Deimling, where all manner of music and dancing concerning Spain were shewn by Faustinita Lucero and Mexican musicians. Thus they abated not their cheer but entered into games of divers sorts and waxed merry. Then was made the cry that the feast was ready and they repasted them well. Slowly thev took their leave and beneath a pale crescent moon the young Dons assisted the Donas onto ambling palfreys and conveyed them on their ways. And they were rich with moneys from a Spanish Cabaret. So to the school did thev present Spanish paintings, purchased at the far Louvre by Miss Watson.

Clark Barr Faculty Adviser, Mr. Tibbetts So flocked they to the banner of the Engineering Club and Mr. Tibbetts. and con- secrated themselves to champion the cause of engineering. Right well did thev fulfill their trust by making the name of Engineering great and by establishing upon the ainpus a bower of refreshment. Thereat food-craving knights, squires, and pages did receive venison, wild boar, waterfowl, pheasant pastries, pigeon pie, shad, sal- mon, mullet, and roasted peacocks and swans. With profits from the bower the scullions did purchase all manner of materials for use in club activities. Yea, these valiant ones, upholding the honour of Engineering, did diligently visit railroad-shops, electric power plants, and steel factories. And the desire to build something useful descending upon them, they did make a small snorting steam dragon which did crawl most surprisingly well, and a radio sending and receiving set which was reported to be heard in all parts of the United States, Canada, and the Pacific Ocean.

And, eager for learning, it did listen to speakers of renouned wisdom. X ' ith all manner of indigestables it did conduct a box social. And the other organizations, admitting its superiority in matters of business, did suller it to sponsor the Whittier Glee Club at an assembly to raise money for Club likenesses in the Ariel. And it did enter the order of Commerce Clubs throughout the state and adopt a State pin of clever design and decide upon a program of enterprises. Eighty-five PALETTE AND BRUSH CLUB President Frances Forcey Vice-President Margaret Cianfoni Secretary Treasurer Helen Sawdey Publicity Manager Catherine Best Faculty Adviser Miss Donaldson And it came to pass that the artistic spirit of manie students flamed forth, and from the ashes rose the club of Pallette and Brush. . nd tlie spirit died not. for Miss Donaldson cherished it ever. jManie enthusiastic meetings were there held and the members did studv both the theoretic and the practical phases of artistry, and for a portion of each meeting thev did sketch. To far Spain of music and wine did thev devote one meeting and did slieu manie colorful pictures painted in that land. And the scullions ha ing prepared the hot-taniales and chocolate, manie valiant trencher men partook.

For they did transgress the troth by which they had plighted to uphold iuter-class debates and divers foreusics. ea. remiss of duty, did they assemble at the home of Sir Burlewe and with heedless merriment, forgetting duty, they pranced the reckless Charleston. But then anon, when their forsaken duties stood before them in reproving still- ness, the members hearts waxed sore within them. Then took they again the vow and with double strength did enter into arduous pursuit of their ideals. And they did hold right strenuous meetings devoted to divers modes of speaking and debating. Yea. new members shewed their art in initiation stunts and from the novices sufFer- intr the old members did derive great amusement.

Right so. once a inonth the Apollo Club, being assembled, did barken unto all manner of songs. Thereat divers school and citv minstrels did perform. And so the cry was made that a Christmas party would be gi en. and all mem- bers were bade to be present. And their hearts waxed light and jolly tiiereat. for there lacked nothing of sweetmeats at this party. Eighty-eight TYPING TEAMS And there were many who shewed good art to pound rapid words from a type- writer. Those of only one year ' s experience formed a team and thev were Hazel Crawford. Corinne Nelson, and Sherrill Spurgeon. They of the second year like- wise formed a team and these were Josephine Hoffman. Josephine Sawdev. and Marv Mc S aters. And in the free-for-all there strove Margaret Martin. Thus unto Orange County contestants there befell great pestilence, for in all tlv tourneys won these Santa Ana maidens first place. .And when these victors had journeyed unto Santa Monica unto a contest of all Southern California, the first year team was cried foremost in ability. But glory surpassing all was achieved by Hazel Crawford. She. in the South- ern Division of the State combat, won first honours.

These, sincere in their purpose, did flock unto the shrine of Athena and with marvellous diligence they did stiidv music, art. and litera- ture. Yea, divers members of the Music Department, impressed with the Athenians yearning for melody, did gladly exert themselves to produce glorious singings, which did satisfy the Athenians ' music-hunger. And Miss Verna Peterson, a Y. W. C. A. worker, had ventured abroad into realms strange and distant. And she did tell of peasants in gay costumes, and of quaint customs, and of great teeming cities, filled with babble of unknown tongues. And Miss Baker, keeper of the school chronicles and manuscripts, did pour forth wisdom in her Chat on Books for Girls. ' Yea. these seekers of beautv were not neglectful of the gracious art of dance, for with festival gaity did they conduct a Christmas Dance and an April Fool Party, and upon a day of flowers and clean spring winds did they enjoy a May Day Dance. Ninety HI ' Y President Herbert Prior Secretar) Judson Riley Treasurer Ralph White Athletic Commissioner Thomas Hitt Faculty Adviser Mr. McMullen Once with the passing of each month there was an assemblage of divers well- visaged knights. These were the many inenibers of the Hi-Y who in conclave met to consider matters trivial and weighty. Thereat were presented programs of passing high qualitv. And after the knights had fed their minds on thoughts of chivalric enterprise or on tales of brave and high adventure, repasted they their bodies with rich viands. Then unto their ears came sounds both sweet and stirring, for the Hi- band, the noble Raymond Hutchens. Fayette Bircher. James Sullivan. Roy Griset. and Edwin Gerhardt. exerted themselves full oft and gallantlv. Passing glorious was one evensong time, for then unto the came not alone the knights but the damozels to whom their troths were plighted. Thereat, all besat themselves and banqueted while divers musicians among them produced gay melo- dies. Then Mrs. Ellis, a lady of exceeding poise and culture, spake inspiring words.

Thereat representatives of one- half score colleges spake and presented stunts to spread the goodly renoun of their Alma Maters. And not least among the achievements of the Hi-Y was a basketball league in which the Richland Avenue Methodist division by arduous combat with a right good will, became the victor.

And they, unthinking, did attempt a trip to Baldy. But little did thev reck that Providence, displeased at their unworthy aim. should send the punishing rain. Thus was there great dolour among the mighty athletes, for Baldy languished without them. But when they realized the cause of their misfortune, thev did repent them full complete. Thus now is their aim to cultivate the friendship of the fair ones, and the Sun of a kindly Providence shines upon them.

So. with great clamor and unseemly boisterousness they did conduct all manner of athletic contests. And there were many of marvellous proficiency in divers sports. These, having had the points clipped from their pen- nons, were privileged to be called bannerets and did band themselves together into an order with vows of allegiance to the cause of fair play. Then together they took their way unto Huntington Beach, where they did bathe, and later unto Balboa, where they shivered in the icy waters. And from tlie Rubes they extracted divers small coins in exchange for sweetmeats. And with these coins they purchased sweaters which as prizes went unto the best girl athletes. Yea, with the few remaining moneys paid they their dues unto the State Federation. So now are they an order of passing great import.

Little do they reck that upon that stage where unreal characters strove in unreal conflicts there is now reality: calls of workmen, clatter of hammers, creaks of props being removed, crashing of great sets being dismantled. Little do they reck or care that behind the scenes another drama has been enacted, one not of two hours but of two weeks labour to create an illusion. And full oft and gallantly has the stage crew made possible an effect of the natural, yea. even the presentation of the mummeries, for what players could play without lights and curtain?

But they, being valient in all things, eluded their pursuers until ye festive board was laden with tasty viands. A strange penalty befell ye honorable and much-esteemed Mistress Frances Forcey.

Ninety-nine COACH CHARLES WINTERBURN Uiic Hiindicd 12ed5( White PEPpcra One Hiwthed One FOOTBALL KNIGHTS DE SAINT ANN 6— KNIGHTS DE LONG BEACH Anon it befell that after long and hard days spent in wearisome practice, a violent preliminary encounter with Knights de Orange resulted in the manner of 39 to 6, Knights de Saint Ann as victors. The noble cohorts of Sir Jon Charlemagne did then presume to test their mettle in manly combat with the widely heralded Knights of the Gridiron hailing from a neighboring village called by some Long Beach. and by others, worse than that. Wherewithal, the former league encounters were none. And there was much rejoicing in the town of the Saints that eve. while in Long Beach all were wonderly wroth. KNIGHTS DE SAINT ANN 38— KNIGHTS DE WHITTIER Now after the initial triumpli of the cohorts of Sir Charles did the team go through much rigor- ous change and perfecting, and so. upon the en- suing week, when the Knights of Poly encountered the nmch beefy and large-in-heaviness Knights de httier, they were full prepared for the conflict. And throughout the first half did the light and speedy backs tire greatly the heavy line of hit- tier, and anon, when Sir Dawson and other heavy men did enter their mammoth energies, it was full simple for them to pulverise the tired hittierites. . nd most notable among the worthy deeds done on the field of battle that day was a marvelous and tiring run in pursuit, which Sir Ralph de Sel- way did make and by a glorious tackle near the goal of the Saints, avert a touch-down which the speeding hittierite would have otherwise com- pleted. KNIGHTS DE SAINT ANN 33— KNIGHTS DE SOUTH PASADENA 6 Now throughout this terrific combat which fol- lowed the fray with Vi ' hittier, was Poly most staunchly resisted; and the energies unsparingly exerted numbered into the millions of calories. During the first half of play the Tigers, for so the Southerners are called, resisted with terrible force the attack of Poly, so that it was not until the last half of time that the Saints were able to connuer. And at a respite between these two periods of play was there a secondary combat fully as bitter, if not as weighty, as the main one. For many jesters made mock combat on the field. And in attempt- ing to bury South Pasadena, a group of Poly squires were striken with fear, and did for the most part run and desert the casket when confronted with a group of determined Southerners, so that the few remaining in the combat could not with- stand the odds, and were defeated. vVar One Hiinilred Three KNIGHTS DE SAINT ANN 34— KNIGHTS DE GLENDALE 14 Now in the conflict with a group of Glendalers did Poly dampen certain high hopes of their op- ponents, and the dynamite with which Poly was to be blown up. was thus so wetted that it could not explode, and it was so that the banners of red and white were flaunted above the red and black that day. Withal, the Knights of Saint Ann showed high perfection and good coaching in the joust, and it was the line which was especially im- proved in this clamorous meeting. KNIGHTS DE SAINT ANN 21— KNIGHTS DE PASADENA 7 As the last serious opposition before the San Diego fray, the Pasadena game was a howling suc- cess. Saint Ann howling with ecstasy, Pasadonuts with remorse. The noble Knights of Poly made the conflict indeed exhilarating, for all scintillated in some de- gree or another. Most notable was the smiting down of Sir Heard, the tackling of Sir Decker, and the sprinting of Sir Sea-Gull and Sir McDermott. It was of a surety a great victory! KNIGHTS OF SANTA ANA 40— KNIGHTS OF ALHAMBRA Now verily upon the day when the Knights of Poly did do battle with the Knights of Alhambra there befell a great pestilence upon the Moors, for in one half, the valiant cohorts of Sir Charles did so assure victory that the second string or lesser Knights of the Hooting Owl were sent into the lists to uphold the red and white for the remainder of the fray. All things were now prepared and both realms eager for the desperate conflict which was to be held at the fortress San Diego Del Mar. KNIGHTS DE SANTA ANA 0— KNIGHTS DE SAN DIEGO 9 Anon the eagerly awaited morn of November twenty-eighth came upon the fair city of Santa Ana. and the city did pick up and go en masse to the fair village known as San Diego. The story of the combat in the lists, and of the roaring multi- tude which witnessed the battle, is an epic in the football history of Poly High. For hours, yea ages, the noble Knights of Sir Charles did battle valiantly the tide of blue which wished to sweep o er the brave ribbons of red and white. .At length, amidst the combat and the press a dark phantasmagoric something filtered through the redoubtable Poly line and in all its dusky hor- ror made one wild dash, which spelled the doom of a peimant for 1925. One Hundred Four PEDIGREES OF THE KNIGHTS No more redoubtable coach and gentleman worthy of note has ever firaced the Poly Halls of learning than Sir Charles de Winterbuni, better known as Chuck. Yea, in one year he taught the noble knights of Poly so much that to house the knowledge it was necessary to order an entire stock of new headgears. Not only that, but in his term at Santa Ana High, all too short of duration, he has made a record of achievements little short of marvellous. A passing fast worker is Sir Charles and he is climbing the ladder of coachdom in a remarkable manner: it is for this reason that Poly High has been right glad to be one rung, and a goodly one. in the success of -Sir Charles de Win- terburn. We wish Chuck well in his new position at Stanford. Sir Captain Knight, Ramon De Dawson. All-Coast Full-back. Sir Rav. known therewitlial by some as the Swede, proved himself to be verily the most in- trepid captain in the annals of our white fortress. Poly. There was not a line in all the state that could stand up against his most terrific onslaughts, made possible by his amazing stamina. To cap the climax of a successful season, Dawson went through, time and again, one of the best lines hi the State. San Diego — and that witli an attack of appendicitis coming on! Sir Knight Georges De Decker, . ' ll-Coast Tackle. In the press Sir Decker, huge of limb, ever smote down his opponent with crushing force. His value at tackle this annum was incalculable, and his prowess unmatched. He scintillated at sifting through the line to nab an opposing back for a loss, and he did his favorite trick with iielpful oftenness. Sir Knight Floyd De Rister. All-Coast Tackle. Opposite Sir Decker on the line. Sir Rister was a tackle of mightly strength, as the left side of all opponents of Poly well know. The man who got past Rister had to be fast and shiftv. vet powerful, and then he usually failed. Sir Knight Captain Elect, Dean De Millen. Sir Millen. the dean of Poly ' s Junior Knights of the Gridiron, is right well deserving of the high honor bestowed upon him, the captaincy of the 1926 eleven. He was a power at guard this year and although the doughty Dawson is a dif- ficult one to equal. Sir Dean will do his best, and that full well. One Hundred Five Sir Knight Elmer De Benson, All-Coast Guard. Sir Benson was never spectacular in combat, yet it is doubtful if any more consistent, dependable player ever wore the colors of Poly in fray. Sir Knight, Allan De McDermott, All-Coast Sec- ond Squad End. Sonny the Scot, the end-around star, made up for his light weight by fleetness and endurance, and was a continual threat to all opposing forces. Sir Knight Elwood De Heard. Sir Knight De Heard was a right good man up- on both the offense and defense, and always showed up well against the opposing center knight. Sir Knight Foster De Meachem. Sir Meachem had a full hard and difficult task to fill this year at guard, and he did it well. Sir Knight Chester De Siegel. With a wild dash in the Pasadena game and a consistently good record to his credit. Sir Siegel should prove of high value to the Poly lineup next year. Sir Knight Roy De Schoettler. Sir Schoettler played a heady game at end. and was a fast one to get down on the punts. Sir Knight Coy De Watts. In living uj) to his name this coy little end was noted for the shock which he gave his oppon- ent when he hit him. Sir Knight Francis De Norton. The fellows that Franny ran into thought he was a tiger instead of a Pony back. His cle er running and gritty sticktoitiveness gained for Sir Norton an enviable reputation. Sir Knight Gerald De Twist. Sir Pete played a stellar game at half, and won everlasting fame for himself for his showing in tiie Whittier game. Sir Knight Gerald De English. Sir Gerald was the hard luck king of the year, but despite poor health was able to turn in a mightv creditable showing in the backfield. Sir Knight Clifford De Walker. Sir Cliff was the half-back with the educated toe who did much for Polv in the pinches and al- ways had enough left to carrv the ball for liig gains. Sir Knight Guy De Harvey. Sir Knight De Harvev was some guv as a sub- stitute for Dawson, and should fit in nicely as full next year. Sir Knight Ralph De Selway. Selway had the difficult task of filling in at a late date in the quarterback position, and he filled the bill better than could have been hoped for. One Hundred Six ' f- CLASS C FOOTBALL Now be it known to all that in the rostrum of sport, the right fair institution of Polytechnic High School has another football team which has won renown in but little less degree than the knights of huge limb. This band of warriors is com- monly called Class C. but withal this is incorrect, for they are an A number 1 group of pigskinners. In the gruelling season of combat completed by the Scottish warriors (for so they should of a truth be called, in honor of their noble coa ch I but one conflict was lost to their opponents. In all. fourteen combats were accounted for by this band: therefore, because of this most illustrious and intrepid exhibition of manly strength and courage, be it known that the Class C team of our school placed second in their league, just as did their older fellow-fighters. The lettermen for this noble band are Sir Carol Ault, Sir Wiley Carlyle. Sir John Rimel, Sir Lowell Hamilton, Sir Harlan Watkins, Sir Raymon Dixon. Sir Frank Hilligas, Sir Ernest Velarde, Sir Melvin Beatty, Sir Leslie MacDonald, Sir Frank De La Rosa, Sir Aubrey Dunbar and Sir Reynold Cierley.

Despite a most stubborn jinx which stalked in the shadows in early season jousts upon the wax-floor lists, the undaunted noblemen, with spears, bucklers, and courage in hand, went to the task with a will and emerged from their former obscurity into dazzling light, which full greatly startled their opponents. Although in this sport, as in the jousts of the gridiron, no championship laurels were won for the trophy coffers of Poly High, for their determined fight, their willingness to work, and their most exalted spirit, the Casaba Knights of Saint Ann do greatly deserve the praise of all true Santa Anans. Knights of Saint Ann 4 — Knights of Long Beach ' M) Full sweet revenge and retaliation did the efficient forces of the neighboring village work upon the cohorts of Polv. and despite most stout and stuliborn resist- • ance by the courageous Knights of the Red and White, swept the field with matchless swiftness. Knights of Saint Ann 27 — Knights of Whittier 3o In a second encounter with the foe. the despicable jinx appeared to have his arrow in the flesh of Saint Anne ' s Casaba Knights, for, fighting mightily against strong opposition, tlie colors of Red and White nevertheless drooped in defeat. A better spirit and greater accuracy were exhibited in this encounter, however, which gave promise of better days for the Knights of Saint Aim in this sport. One Hiituliid 7 en Knigiits De Saint Ann 2S Knights De South Pasadena IH Now after a most discouraging beginning did the casaba tossers of Poly rally, and with mighty force and unsurpassable enthusiasm overcome, for the first time, an opponent. Even with the handicap of a disabled captain, the Poly Knights were able, chiefly through the su- preme efforts of Sir Radeniacher. to amass a total of twenty-five digets against but thirteen for the Tiger Knights. Knights De Saint Ann 18 Knights De Glendale l ' .] X ' ith a continued knack for being imluckv to their opponents the Saint Ann Squashers drove through to victory against the highly-touted Glendale quintette. With the aid of their returned captain, the Polyites were enabled to carry off honors in the final quarter in this fray. Knights De Saint Ann 18 Knights De Pasadena 16 On one memorable February eve, the haughty Knights De Pasadonuts did invade the stronghold of Poly. Undefeated, and undefeatable to their mind, the Pasadenans entered the court confident of handing Poly the short end score of a rout. In truth it did appear as if this might be accomplished, for at half time the score was 14 to 8 in the favour of ye mil- lionaires. Then anon, however, by consistent, brilliant playing, the noble Saints did so move as to tie the score. Words cannot tell of those last few exultant moments in which the Poly team forged ahead, to sink the winning basket just before the gun declared the game over, but verily, the deafening shouts of triumph which shook the gym were sufficient to at- test our prowess. Knights De Saint Ann 4 Knights De Alhambra 13 i ow did the hopeful Polv team learn a most bitter lesson in the combat ensuing that with the Bulldogs, for it was through overconfidence for the most part that the Saints did bow to the Moors in ignominious defeat. It must be said, however, in justice to the Casaba Knights, that the floor was un- familiar and difficult to become accustomed to. .. Unc Hundred Eleven 1 ■p ■««i5P ■ A Oiif lliiiidictl Tuctvc Kiiijihts Ue Saint Aim 11 Knights De Sandy Ego 10 As a most fitting culmination to a successful hasketball season, the Knights De Saint Ann did most severely trounce upon their opponents from the southern hamlet. The entire team put all ability and team |)lay into this game, as is evinced by the crushing victory. This, in truth, was sweet revenge. Sir Captain Knight Chester De Siecel — An eye for the basket, an arm for the jump — these two ital characteristics of a good player did Sir Siegel have, and full well did he utilize them. In the gruelling season of jousting the knight never faltered in either his own game or his duties as a captain. Sir Knight Harry De Rademacher. Captain- Elect — A great deal was needed from Handsome Harry, Knight of the Maidens Hearts, when the sea- son for casaba jousting did open, and right well did he meet this need. As leader of the Knights of Poly in next year ' s encounters, he gives fair to be a world- eonquerer. Sir Knight Faris De Edgar — Sir Edgar was ever fleet of foot and strong of limb throughout the con- test. His forte was long shots, which made him an ominous figure to the enemy throughout each contest. Sir Knight Floyd De Rister — Verily now throughout the season a good Santa Ana defense was assured by the presence of Sir Floyd, and even with the other guard position often being filled by a new knight, twas always possible to see Sir Floyd at his position. Sir Knight Edward De Daley — Sir Daley en- tered the ranks of basketball at a full difficult time, and his position therewithal was uneasy. But with iiis speed and skill he gained a right considerable reputation, and a deserved one before the end of the season. Sir Knight Clifford De Walker — Sir Walker was verily inxaluable to the team as an utility man: he was especially talented at fitting into any position with any combination which Sir Coach wished. Sir Knight Willard De White — Sir Weelard showed a real spirit in entering the ranks of the first team casaba tossers, for tradition has it that he by no means expected to receive his letter, but because of his plucky showing he was given a chance in the games. By my troth, he made good ! Sir Knight Thomas De Hitt — When Tommy hit an opposing knight, the knight, in truth, knew he was hit. A plucky game and a consistent strenuousness were the features bv which Sir Tom earned his Icllci. Sir Knights John De Casey and Charles Di: Erhorn. These two minor or substitute knights de- serve special mention for their staunch support of the other knights of the court. CLASS B BASKETBALL Upon the Class B football team there had fallen dire pestilence in the form of victories — by the opposing teams. The knights of the Class B basketball team, vow ing vengeance, set forth to prove that they were immune to such pestilence. Thus were they afflicted with few defeats, and, in truth, shewed a most creditable season. Yea, although one or two games were obtained through forfeit, they were won nevertheless, and the credit of the valiant Class B knights is not to be discounted upon this basis. In all, the middleweights did tuck beneath their bucklers four wins, which in such a league is a right difficult feat. The remainder of the combats were ceded to combinations totally immune to defeat. This band was led by the capable Sir High Knight Lynn De Crawford. The competing knights were Sir Captain George De Preble, who scintillated at forward; Sir Ralph De White, his buddy at forward: Sir Edward De Adams, center; Sir Otis De Goodman, a good-man at guard; and Sir James Musick, guard. These were supported by Sir Sullivan and Sir H. Prior (either Sir Hubert of Sir Herbert, but me-thinks Sir Hubert.) One Hiimlreit Thirteen CLASS C BASKET-BALL Now in ihe days of Sir Walter, High Knight of Scotts. was it quite the thing to have Class C clianipionships within the portals of Poly. Therewithal, such was the purpose of the noble diminutive casaba-heavers. who swept aside all opposition and earned, in every sense of the word, the appellation of ' Champions. Led by their noble captain. Sir Merle De ouel. this courageous band seemed unsurpassable by human means: withal, it was not human means which wrenched from their grasp that which they had earned: it was technicality. The technicality upon which Saint Ann relinquished this honor was a just and correct one. but. in truth, it does not dim in ihc least the glorv of this band ot cliam- pions. Leading these valiant ones were Walter Scott, famous novelist ( Sport-tips ), Class C mentor, and gymnasium supervisor: and the indomitable vouth. Sir Captain Knight Merle De Youel. The remaining lettermen are Sir Orvil De Schuhardt. Sir Ramon De Dickson. .Sir Debnar De Brown. Sir Melvin De Beatty, Sir I eil De Hall, Sir Robert De Goettling. and Sir Clarence De Fairchild, Oiu Ifiiniluil I- ' oiiiUcn r BASEBALL The Baseball Nine of Saint Anne ' s Polv was indeed a credit to the institution in the annum 1926. With Sir High Knight Lyman ( Flash I De Kidman as super- lative supervisor, a most remarkable machine for the grinding out of victories was welded together. Yea, at the first of the season the prospects for a championship aggregation were indeed hopeful, and they remained so until the last two games, which were lost to Knights De Alhambra and Knights De Sandy Ego. As a final record the right respectable figures of four conflicts won and but three lost prove the fact that Poly had a redoubtable group of pellet-pushers. Truly, with the baseball season, there was closed a most satisfactory and profit- able year of athletic competition for tiie Knights of Saint Anne ' s Poly, both those mentioned here and those unmentioned. Much laud be unto them for daring in battle. These, for prowess in baseball, have been given emblems: Sir Knight Edward de Daley, captain and short-stop: Sir Knight Floyd de Rister. pitcher and first-base- man; Sir Knight Jerry de Heard, pitcher and first-baseman: Sir Knight Whitey de Pea. second-baseman: Sir Knight Orville de Schuhardt. left fielder: Sir Knight Sully de Sullivan , center-fielder; Sir Knight Tommy de Hitt, right-fielder: Sir Knight Bomo Koral. third-baseman; Sir Knight C.het de Seigal, catcher; Sir Knights Melvin Beatty and Ralph Lindsay, substitutes. One Hiinilicd Fifteen SECOND TEAM BASEBALL Now there was a group of Poly knights whose exploits have not been recorded as vet but who were fullv deserving of a chronicle. These warriors were conmionly called the second team baseball. With second teams of other schools they did eiigagn in condiat. and anon with some of the junior high schools also. The main function of this team was to give an opportunity for training unto knights who were for the most part too small in stature to compete upon the first team. And verily this second team has been an asset, for there are many of its number who should make right huskv bids for positions upon the larger aggregation in years to come. The knights who competed were Sir Knight Lester de Boyle Sir Knight Robert de Drysdale Sir Knight Roderick de Smiley Sir Knight Edward de Heffner Sir Knight Don de Smith Sir Knight Joe de Furch Sir Knight Harry de Kaplan Sir Knight Jesse de Viele (hir lliiinlrcd SiAticn TENNIS Right well and gallantly were the banners of Poly unheld in all the tourneys in the tennis contests this year. And likewise did raequet-weilders of great dex- terity bring fame unto the barony. At the time of the printing of the Ariel chronicle but two defeats had marred the escutcheons of the courtiers. Full reluctantly sur- rendered they these matches unto the skilled and artful knights from Long Beach and South Pasadena. Yea, nobly darted these white-garbed figures over the blazing cement in smashing pursuit of the white balls. Alack, alack, all to no avail! But of great avail was their fleetness in combat against all other minions of this ancient sport. Even over Whittier and Glendale were thev acclaimed victorious. Also. Knights de Trostel and Dixon, unvanquished in doubles, strove amid the other sliders, writhers. contortioners, and smashers, in the Southern California tourney. Thus flaunt we before the eyes of all churls in this baronv and in baronies foreign, a record of goodly worth. With awe and trembling perceive the fearsome visages of those who upheld the honour of Saint Ann upon the cement court: Sir Captain Knight Jacques de Warner Sir Knight Hubert de Greasy Gohres Sir Knight Gorham de Smith Sir Knight Orville de Schuhardt Sir Knight E erett de Trostel Sir Knight Ramon de Dixon Sir Knight Stewart de McPherson Sir Knight Arthur de Stein Onf Hnndreil Strentpcn TRACK Without doubt this annum has been one of outstanding success for Saint Anne ' s in the classic sport of track. This success has been twofold: first, in actual accom- plishment and. second, in the right notable constructive work which has been accom- plished for the future. ' itli such redoubtable Mercuries as Sir Bear and Sir Breeding returning to Polys fair halls next year, the future is as proniising as any in our annals. Sir Captain Knight Howard De Paul. In all antiquity no sucli disastrous de- sertion of the Ladv of the Luck has occurred as that which rendered Sir Paul unfit, because of injuries, for competition. With this plucky youth in the meet. Poly could always figure from twelve to fifteen points from him. but fate has ruled liiat t)ur desires were not to be fulfilled; hence let us merely hope tor better in the hiturc. Sir Knight Harvey De Bear. Sir Harvey was a bear in the sprints, account- ing, most notably, for a first place in the 220 yard dash in the League meet and a fifth in the Southern California. Sir Knight Robert McKean. Sir Bob deserves great credit for his vast im- pro emenl over former years. He ran the half mile, and that in close to two min- utes. He was another League first and his race in the Southern California exhi- bited grit far beyond the expectations of anyone. Sir Knight Harold De Breeding. Sir Breeding was surpassed in ability by bul one this year. Next year, without mishaps, he should be the premier mile runner of the state. This youthful phenomenon accounted for firsts in every race except those of Southern California and the state. Sir Knight Terry De Stephenson. Sir Ted did ignite the cinder-path in the dashes. He will be valuable both in the relay team and in the single races next year. Sir Knight John De Moffat. Sir Moffat was most prominent in the higher barriers, and accounted for many tallies in his favorite race. Sir Knight Floyd De Velarde. The Knight Velarde saved a bad situation in the low hurdles by filling in for the great Sir Paul, and his hurdling deserves right high praise. Sir Knight Harold De English. De English was unsurpassed in most meets as a quarter miler. being defeated in the league meet only after the most courageous kind of race. Sir Knight Robert De Jacques. Sir Jacques is one of the most deserving mem- bers of the team for although he garnered but few medals and too little glory, he was a consistent placer in dual meets and always gave his best. Otif Humhfd Eighteen COACH AlVEROA WFST One Hundred Nineteen EVELYN YOUNT Behold ye churls! Perceive one of the maidens in school most liked bv all. President of the Senior Class, honor student, and athlete. All things have come unto her in good measure. She has striven beneath the banners of Poly for only two and one half years, but upon her escutcheon are inscribed manj valiant deeds. As a Sophomore she captained her baseball team; as a Junior she scintillated in basketball and baseball; likewise strug- gled she on the track squad; also, in that year, she achieved the presidency of the Girls Athletic Association; as a senior she was cried captain of the basketball team and played on the teams of hockev and baseball. In truth, an enviable record! GAYLE BALDWIN To this damozel, Gayle Baldwin, is alloted one more year of competition. May she fill that year with glowing deeds. L nto her there is a dire weakness, the bad habit of captaincies. And. let it be spoken softly, she is captain-elect of next year ' s basketball team. Gayle has proved to be the fastest and fighting- est girl out for athletics. In her first year she played skeeter basketball, varsity hockey, baseball, and track. This, her Junior year, has added varsity basketball to the list. And upon the cinderpath, in a meet with the Amateur Athletic Union, she won the seventy-five yard dash in 9.1. This enviable time is second only to the World ' s Record and differed from it by but one tenth of a second. Not only is she active on the court, the field, the diamond, and cinderpath, but she has laboured as Assistant Editor of the Ariel, Vice-President of the Girls ' League, and Secretary of the Girls ' Athletic Association. Likewise is she an honor student. Ont ' lliini rfil Twenty f MARY GOODYKOONTZ illi liiiili lioiiiiiii uas bestowed the Ariel liaulierk unto Mis- tress Mary (Miodvkoontz. For. in truth, has this maiden won it with more points than any otlier. When she entered the harony of Poly in the year of 1923, immediately spread lier renonn among tiie lovers of sports. For as a scrub played she on skeeter basketball, hockey, and baseball teams. In the year fol- lowinfr she rose unto first team basketball. Again strove she in second liaseliall and hockey. And advanced she ever, until in her last glorious vear she placed upon all three teams of first importance. Yea. let it be whispered, she not only is enamoured of the aforementioned trio, but also is de oted lo swimming. VIRGINIA BRANNON It has been achieved. It is given that a damozel may be well-visaged and popular, and at the same time an athlete. A co-ed of exceeding sweetness and popularity, an honor student. Girls ' Athletic Association executive, and Secretary of the A.sso- ciated Student Body is Ginna Brannon. As a Sophomore much was heard of her in varsity basketball, baseball, and second hockey. In this vear. as a Junior, she has risen to all varsity teams. Much is expected of Ginna in her Senior year. Orif lliindiril Tiirnlv-ane GIRLS ' BASKETBALL Then it befell that there were countv haskethall games plaved to the luiniher of six. And by device of skilled whirling;, twisting, bending, dodging, twirling, and shooting, Poly ' s maidens did achieve the victories in four of the six countv contests.

These, thinking to compare them- selves in skill with others, did form a skeeter basketball team. And they were ashamed in no place, for they in the joute a plaisance did overcome many teams of like nature, and did hold the valiant first team to close scores.

Bearing the colors of Santa Ana, full well did they battle all her enemies. After the first few encounters they did win many glorious victories.

() !(■ Hiinilifd Til cnly-jdiir HOCKEY SECOND TEAM And it befell in the days of Mistress West that a minor team did essay to sup- port their noble superiors, the first team. And in realms apposing was there great dolour, for when these ungentle maidens came nigh unto the goal, shewed they little mercy unto the score. ea. many were there of distant baronies who waxed won- derlv wroth, for these perilous damozels had liefer be slain than come from the field vanquished. Thus, when hard bestead, if ever they won not, fought they so valiantly that full oft did they tie seemingly unfavorable scores. .Santa Ana 1 — Orange Santa Ana — Anaheim Santa Ana 2 — Fullerton 2 Mary Lair OBrien.

For in infancy, indeed, it did show promise of goodly activities. Boldly did these hoistrous damozels sallv forth to divers comhats. Boldly did they struggle to uphold the hanners of fair Poly. And it befell that red and white were waved above the purple, for the maidens of Jay Cee returned to their camp defeated. .And it came about that they did strive nobly to vanquish the crusaders from Tustin. But bowed they their heads in deep defeat, and returned home Tustin s damozels victorious. But gallantly did they redeem their all-told fame when they did return from the trampled battlefield of Orange, their banners floating on high whilst their fair combatants did grovel in the dust. And so it mav come to pass that these hefty damozels will bring great honors to the castle of the wise old owl. what with their surpassing teamwork and their glorious feats of skill.

These, after diligent and laborious practice, journeyed into tournament in the fair, green village of FuUerton. Here maidens from all Orange County did stri e one against the other. And it befell that Louise Pea was acclaimed victor in the fourth singles. Likewise Lucille Huston and Dorothy Dungan proved their skill to jump about from place to place rapidly when they were cried winners of tlie second doubles. The sum of valiant contestants, all of right goodly ability, were Hazel Hilgers, Leona Moon. Lucille Huston, Dorothy Dungan. Louise Pea. and Mary Ford. No cheering, frantic bleachers full of churls screamed or jumped up and down, pound- ing each other at every gain or loss by the home player. No cheer leaders urged them on to further victories, yet these maidens are as truly athletes as the knights of the gridiron or courts. Yea good form and graceful playing shewed they. And at Fullerton in a later contest between Fullerton and Santa Ana Louise Pea again won in singles. Mary Ford, suddenly inspired, won also a victory in singles. Thus Fullerton passing well knows the skill of Poly ' s racquet wielders. One Hunihtd Tii cnly-sevcn PARING- PAMSeL •f - 1 I.-il ■ v_ (hir lliinilnd Twciily-cight.
