Sixteen 1161 credits are required for graduation, not more than one of which may be in physical culture. Conformity with the following grouping is also re- quired:- Majors required: 3 years of English, and Mathematics, Science, 3 years of one of the following: Histor? and S0931 Science, or Foreign Language. Minors required: 1 year of Mathematics, 1 year of Laboratory Science, United States History, Advanced Civics, and 4 years of Physical Education. C1 creditj. fUnless excused by a physician's certificatel. Two years of one language and two of another language may be substituted for three years of one language, if desired, in establishing a major. No credit will be granted in any subject for which prerequisites exist until such prerequisites have been satisfied. For instance, credit in sophomore English will not be given until freshman English is completed. One year of mechanical drawing may be included in establishing a major in mathematics, but is not acceptable as a minor. One-half year of arithmetic and one-half year of bookkeeping may be substi- tuted for one year of mathematics as a minor, but not in establishing a. major. Bookkeeping must be preceded by either arithmetic or algebra. Credit will not be granted in arithmetic after the completion of two years of mathematics. In mechanical arts, one year of woodwork is prerequisite for metal work. Plane geometry is prerequisite for the second year of mechanical drawing. A pupil is not expected to register for a subject without considerable thought. He should then give it a fair trial, and should not expect to drop it or change it without having a reason which outweighs the original argument in favor of taking it. No change in a student's program during the year is permitted with- out the sanction of his class advisor. The subjects included in the various courses of study offered have been selected with a view to serving the best interests of the student. A random, un- guided, or misguided choice of subjects is almost sure to seriously weaken the effectiveness of the pupil's high school course, viewed as a whole, and is very apt to lead to keen disappointment. To avoid such an outcome, each student is ex- pected to register in one of the courses of study offered and no departure from these courses as printed will be permitted without the sanction of both the class advisor and the subject teacher or teachers concerned. A request from parent or guardian may be required. Page 4 ggtm, . Q.

RLIDYARD KIPLING. TH E TOCSI N-1922 California Before the Gringo Came ALIFORNIA was but a small part of Spain 's vast colonial system. The governor of this valuable settlement, who was appointed by the central authority of Mexico, had the power of appointing other officers. There were no courts of law in the entire province except those of the alcaldes, the sole judicial officers. The pompous alcalde with his silver-headed walking-stick played an important part in the life of His- pa.no-California. The later years of Spanish rule were marked by many features which will always seem romantic and picturesque to succeed- ing generations. California was completely isolated from the bustle of busy communities and its people led simple, romantic, lives. The houses were of adobe, the outside walls being plastered with the same material as that of which the bricks were made. The roofs were first covered with reeds or tules, but due to the great danger of fires ill- fitting tiles, which admitted the rain, were later used. The homes of the better class of Californians had redwood floors covered with sand from the beach, which could easily be swept out and replaced by fresh. Some ol' the wealthiest Californian families, including members of the Vallejo family, chartered sailing vessels, sending them to China and Spain for exquisite furniture of mahogany and teak wood. The walls of many of these luxurious homes were adorned with portraits of stately ancestors. W'hile many of the early Hispano-Californian homes were comfortable and cheerful residences, others had no floors except the earth, and only the rudest of furniture made from wood obtained in the nearby forests. The Californians were very fond of dogs and usually had many of them. Small holes were cut in the bottom of the doors to permit those over-indulged pets to enter and leave the homes at Will. While indoors they frequently would select the most comfortable chairs upon which to nap, or if the caprice so pleased them, they would get in the way by lying in the center of the floor. Travelers were welcomed at any of the ranches and it was not con- sidered wrong for a stranger in need of a fresh saddle horse, to take one if he returned in time for the next rodeo. The rodeos were held each year for the purpose of segregating the additions to the herds and giving each to the rightful owners. After the round-up, feats of sport and skill were held by the vaqueros, often for the purpose of winning the approv- ing smile of some senorita. The men spent a good part of their time in g Page 10 TH E TOCSI N-1922 the saddles and became expert horsemen who could pick a flower or hand- kerchief from the ground while galloping past. The Californians were fond of singing and dancing and appeared to be born musicians, for many without training sang and played their gui- tars skillfully and spiritedly. Fandangos, or general dances, were of fre- quent occurrence, especially during the winter. While they entered the dance with such spirit and rode so skillfully, the people of the province were lazy in the extreme and would rather visit their relatives or friends or go to a neighboring pueblo to a fan- dango, than cultivate their fields or care for their cattle. Little advance- ment of culture or of commerce was made under the rule of the romantic Hispano-Californian. In politics also they were unprogressive and when the time of trial came they had no power of endurance. The temptations and excitements and often injustices and unkindnesses of the conquering race, lost for them their homes and lands and so passed the days of romance and charm with the coming of the Gringo . Mildred Mendia, '24, -1- The Best Laid Plans R. and Mrs. Teller sat on their spacious veranda one warm June evening, discussing the new bank that was going to be built at Bridgewater, New York. Bobby, who had been playing with some of his friends of the second grade, came running up the steps, his twin sister, Peggy, close behind him. Mother,,' he said, there's gonna be a minstrel show here next week. Won't you let me n' Peggy go? What day is it going to be, Bobby? asked Mrs. Teller. Joe says it's a comin' Tuesday, and only a quarter for children, he added eagerly. I am sorry, Bob, but mother and I have planned to go to the city that day, and we cannot allow you and Peggy to go to a wandering show alone, his father told him kindly. Oh, but, Daddy, the small voice was pleading, we've never seen one of those shows before, and just think when Harold comes for his sum- mer vacation, I can tell him all about it. Me n' Peggy can go alone. We 're big now, we don 't need any one to take care of us. Mr. Teller was trying to teach Bobby to be obedient, but the small Page 11 TH E TOCSIN-1922 lad always had an argument, whenever denied anything he wished, and sometimes almost stubbornly refused to obey. Mr. Teller was very sorry that this trait should be found in his little boy, and he decided he must be more stern with him. Bobby, he said, that is enough from you. You cannot go. Do you understand? Now go upstairs to bed. No. It is rather warm so tell Helen to fix the bed on the sleeping porch down here for you. Bobby bade neither his father nor mother good-night . But with head bowed, he motioned to the silent Peggy, who, obedient always, fol- lowed him into the house. Before they reached the nursery where Helen was waiting for them, Bobby grabbed Peggy by the arm. Pm not gonna stand for this any longer, Peggy, he said. I'm a great big man now, but they Cwith a motion of his hand toward the porchl think that we're babies yet. Can't go no place without them or Helen. 'Spose Helen would bring us if 'twasn't her day off. Well, Peggy, will you stan' by me forever n' ever, and not tell a soul? I'1n going away and maybe I'll be an engineer or one of those airplane guys. Oh, Bobby, gasped the wide-eyed Peggy. Please, please don't run away. What will you do at night all alone, and no place to sleep? Some bad man might steal you, and I'd never see you again. Peggy had touched Bobby 's weak spot. There was one thing that he was afraid of and that was the night in all its darkness. Peggy saw him hesitating. I'll tell you, Bob, she said, you know our secret room that we fixed in my play house in the basement? No one ever goes there and every day I'll come down and play with you and bring you cookies, and bread, an' jam. Bobby did not want to give in at first. He did not think this heroic enough. And then, went on Peggy, father will be sorry and he 'll say, 'Oh, I'm so sorry, if only I'd let Bobby go. ' There Peggy shook her head mournfully, imagining herself as her father. This delighted Bobby. To picture his father repenting his ac- tions pleased him very much. Then, when he says that, you come and tell me. Then I'll go to him and he'1l be so glad I'm not far away that he 'll let us go. The door downstairs shut and the children ran quickly into the nur- sery, for they knew their mother and father had come in. The next morning Bobby was awakened through hearing Sarah, the cook, who had gone to the chicken yard for eggs. He quickly dressed himself, took his coat and cap, and slipped quietly out of the kitchen door and into the basement. Page 12 TH E TOCSI N-1922 While Mr. and Mrs. Teller were breakfasting, Helen ran into the room breathlessly. Bobby's not in his bed, she told them, in a fright- ened tone. I have looked everywhere. He is not in the house or yard. Mr. Teller was very calm, and telling his wife not to worry, went in search of his little boy. The whole household looked everywhere, but Bobby could not be found. They' had decided that Bobby had escaped from one of the opened windows of the sleeping porch. As the screens were locked from the inside, they were easy to open. No one suspected that the quiet little Peggy knew anything about the affair. The news of Bobby's disappearance had spread rapidly and everyone was looking for the child. Mrs. Teller was a delicate woman and she was almost hysterical when Bobby could not be found. She was not superstitious nor inclined to be- lieve in the unreal, but when Mrs. Osgood came over and talked to her of the miracles performed by spiritualists, she was just in the state of mind to resolve to visit the person whom her friend recommended. She left Helen in charge of Peggy and went to New York. She found the address that her friend had given her to be an apart- ment house of the better class. As she walked up the cement steps she did not know whether to return home or to ring the bell, but hope of hearing of Bobby 's whereabouts urged her on. She rang the bell and the door was opened by a tall, blonde woman, who immediately ushered her into a prettily furnished living room. It was altogether different from what one would expect. There were none of the dark and forboding tapestries that usually adorn the mystic abodes of the spiritualists. As the blonde woman was the spiritualist herself, Mrs. Teller told her of Bobby and asked if the woman, by some spiritualistic means, could tell her where Bobby was. I feel that I can communicate with one of my spirits this evening, Mrs. Teller,', she said. If I succeed in locating it, I will send it to your home at twelve tonight. Do not be afraid, but answer any questions, if there are any asked, and do not leave your bed. You must leave the back door open, also. After receiving the street and number of the house and the location of Mrs. Teller's bedroom, she brought Mrs. Teller to the door assuring her that her son would soon be found. Mrs. Teller motored back to the little suburban town of Bridgewater and waited anxiously for the return of her husband. She learned from Helen that Peggy was playing in her playhouse. That night a little before twelve, Bobby heard a noise right outside of Peggy 's playhouse Window. He was so uncomfortable he could not Page 13 TH E TOCSI N--1922 sleep. He was afraid of the cold darkness of the ba ement and although he slept on the old couch that Peggy had acquired for her house, a spring that was loose in it kept him in misery. All he had for a cover was an old discarded portier. He had resolved to give it up the next morning. He did not wish to spend another night here. He had also been greatly disappointed when Peggy had told him that their father had expressed no regret for his not having let Bobby go. He crept to the window and in the dim moonlight could only, with great difficulty, discern the figure of a woman donning a long white robe, or something or other, that made her look very ghostlike. Like a flash Bobby ran up into the yard, just as the figure had entered the kitchen. He followed closely behind and watched the figure go upstairs. Not knowing what to do, he waited in the sitting room. He shut the door that led into the hall, lighted the light and sat behind the big Morris chair. Restlessly Mrs. Teller waited for her husband. She wished now that she had not visited the strange woman that day. She did not know whether she believed she would have a visitor or not-but then-the door opened slowly with a slight creak and scarcely breathing she watched the spectre approach the bed. It mumbled something unintelligible and then in a clearer voice told the frightened woman that Bobby would soon re- turn. The figure then moved slowly, but paused a moment at the bureau and then left the room in all the splendor of a transparent spirit. Suddenly Mrs. Teller heard a series of bumpings, and shouts in a voice that sounded very much like Bobby's. Hey, for the luva mike, put down mother's jewelry box 'fore I knock your block off. There were sounds of commotion, the slamming of the back door, and then Bob- by eame running into his mother's room and as best he could, while she was embracing and kissing him, told her the Whole story. Mr. Teller was there to hear also, for as he had entered the yard, he had met this amazing creature, running out with his wife 's jewelry box in hand, and had caught her with the help of the men who had been help- ing him search. He had brought the woman into the house and Mrs. Tel- ler, greatly mortified, recognized her as the spiritualist whom she had visited that day. But after all, the thing that counted most, when all was explained and cleared, and the clever woman thief was in prison, was that the words of the spirit had come true, Bobby had returned.

Page 14 Page 15 TH E TOCSI N-1922 To A Fallen Redwood Tree To you who ruled king of the trees, Through whose branches the cool breeze Wafted its sweet perfume, Where birds after their long flight, Were welcome to come and spend the nightg To you who were loved by one and all, Whose strength was broken by your fall, We give our praise for with what kingly might You met your doom. Bernice Brown '22 TH E TOCSIN-1922 When Wee Willie Was Lucky C 6 ILL--EE, Will--ee, come here this minute, called a shrill voice. A small boy dropped his bat and came running toward the house from which the call had come. As he entered the house he was pounced upon by a lady whose voice was quite similar to the one that a few moments before had caused him to drop his bat so suddenly and break for the house. What do you mean? Tell me that-what do you mean, you good- for-nothing little heathen, by playing ball on a Sunday morning when you should be going to church? she screamed at him. Now skin in there and get into your good clothes before I can say 'Jack Robinson', or you 'll be the worse for it. This last threat was reinforced with a vigorous shake of her long finger before the culprit 's nose. Aw gee, Ma, said the boy, starting out bravely, I went to church last Sunday. But even as he said the first two words he took a step backward so as to give the hand that hung at the lady's side plenty of room. Not another word out of you! she threatened, taking up the space he had thoughtfully put between them. Now get! The boy immediately disappeared through a door on the opposite side of the room, for he wished no further argument with his mother when she was in that mood. He Walked down the hall and into a room which was unmistakably a boy 's room. A shirt, which had at one time been cleaner than at that present moment, was spread lengthwise in front of the bed. A pair of overalls, which had once been black, but were now faded to a dirty gray, were in a little heap in front of a chair, just where they had been dropped after being removed. On a mirrorless dresser there were countless arti- cles that could have been owned by no other than a small boy. Willie sat down on the chair after stepping over the overalls, and began slowly and laboriously to take off his shoes. With one shoe half off he ceased his struggles and straightened up. Slowly he raised his arms until they were at right angles with his body, and then straight up. All the while his teeth were gritting and his eyes were bulging. He had seen his idol, William Farnum, do this many times in plays in which he had killed no less than eight men every hour. Page 16 ' THE TOCSIN-1922 This little scene of action completed, he relaxed and began to talk to himself. I will not stay here another hour. I can't stand it and I won't stand it. Yes, I'll go now and get out of going to church. With this conclusion he drew on a pair of overalls, fthe ones that had been on the floorj, and a torn shirt that was covered with whitewash that was not there because of voluntary efforts on the part of the self- satisfying William. After a diligent search he produced from under the bed two very necessary articles, which only the day before he had brought back to their safe hiding place. They had previously been confiscated by no less an authority than Willie's mother. The first article was a dirty black cap, torn and battered, which was a trifle too large and hung down over his ears, thus giving him the appearance of a hard boiled guy . The other forbidden article was a sling-shot, a terror to the neighbors' live stock. Thus attired and armed he slowly opened the window, and carefully pulling it down behind him, jumped to the ground. As he rounded the corner of the house he saw his mother going down the street. Her, mused Willie, and her good hat too, she must be going to Mrs. Duncan 's to get that new-fangled cake recipe she was talking about last night. Well, if I ain't in luck, nobody ever was! He hopped the fence and started in a course directly opposite from that which his mother had taken. As he went along he began to lay his plans. He would sleep in the woods during the day and travel at night as Huck Finn did. He could steal enough to eat. Yes, he could lead a great life of fishing, hunting, sleeping, and never going to church. While thus musing he had walked about three blocks, his feet in- stinctively carrying him over old familiar ground, when he found himself opposite an apple orchard. Oh boy, he gurgled rapturously, luck is sure with me today. I'll get some of these for my lunch. This was no sooner said than done. He was over the fence in a flash and was picking the apples, which were exceedingly undeveloped and green. As he started on his way he began munching one, although it was puckeringly sour, it tasted good, for he was hungry. He ate another, and another, until he could eat no more. Persently he felt a strange feeling coming over him. Sharp pains shot through his stomach. He could stand no longer, so he sat down by a tree. I guess, he said with an effort, I'l1, 0-ow, go home, ooo!! and get-what a pain !-some ginger tea. Page 17 ' THE TOCSIN-1922 Slowly he made his way homeward. As he came near the church he saw the congregation pouring out. About a block from home his pain ceased, but he did not turn back or even hesitate. Wheii he reached the gate he saw his mother coming down the street and he knew he was safe. When he sat down to dinner he got his ear boxed for stealing some frosting from the cake made from Mrs. Duncan 's new recipe. Jim Byers, '24, i.-. The Tidal Wave A '1'rue Story BOUT forty years ago, more or less, there was a terrible tidal wave in Loreto, Lower California. The little town of Loreto was built around a natural harbor, while behind it were low foothills, sparsely dotted with scrubby mesquite bushes and a few choyas. Although the hills were for the most part bar- ren and ugly, and the town itself was not especially lovely, there was a charm in the harbor itself, and in the climate. The harbor was some- times deep blue with somber tints, or very blue in a capricious mood, with the soft winds whipping the smiling surface into little Whitecaps, and sending on their way, small sparkling waves tipped with green-white foam. These gay little waves would roll into the beach and break, with long sudsy fingers of white spray slithering over the sand, then receding. This morning the harbor and long white beach were especially beau- tiful, the weather was ideal, and the simple fisher-folk and people of Loreto were either beginning to enjoy the day in pleasant idling, or mak- ing the most of it in happy toil. The morning was half spent before the people realized that something peculiar was happening in their harbor. The water was slowly receding, inch by inch, as if drawn by some irre- sistible force. The wiser people muttered ominous warnings among themselves and prepared to flee to the hills for safety. But the others flocked to the beach, curious to see this unusual occurrence. They saw, as the water withdrew, the sandy, rocky bottom of the harbor covered with strange plants and shells. Then, as the water did not come back, they became afraid and awed. They were simple folk who did not under- stand, and they ran to the church to pray, instead of fleeing. They knelt there, and prayed and prayed, their moans and wailing interrupting their prayers. A half-wit, named Juan, ran here and there, tears streaming Page 18 TH E TOCSIN-1922 from his dark brown eyes, crying and falling down in the streets to pray, and shrieking that the day of doom had come, and begging the good Father to have mercy on them. Abjeet terror and dismay were reflected in every countenance. But the water kept receding, a quarter of a mile, a half mile, a mile, and outside the gates of the harbor. Then in the late afternoon came a low rumble, followed by a mighty trembling of the earth, and seaward a huge mountain of water appeared, coming closer and closer, sweeping in with relentless force-in, through and over the harbor it came. The screams and cries of the people of the town were terrible. Came another crash, and the tidal wave struck the town-chaos. The ships that had been lying idly at anchor in the smiling harbor were thrown up into the hills-and the mighty, relentless sea having ac- complished this dreadful deed, withdrew and filled up the harbor again. It so happened that at this time my great-grandmother was traveling from San Jose to Loreto. In those days people had to travel in large com- panies for safety, and usually went when the freight companies sent their pack mules along the trail. This was the manner in which my grand- mother was travelling, accompanied by her aunt. They had crossed a rocky plateau and were just beginning to journey through a rugged stretch of mountain region. This canyon was one of the most difficult and dangerous parts of the journey. The trail was very narrow and shelf-like, close to one canyon wall, while below it lay a deep yawning chasm. It was indeed so narrow that the mules went single file, with very little room to spare on either side. The company was very silent, and sensitive to the danger of their situation. They were threading their way very carefully, and had passed the first turn of the canyon. They now began the roughest part. The surrounding scenery was not beautiful, consisting chiefly of ugly brown and red roughly-hewn bowlders and rocks. There was practically no vegetation, and the only sound beside the scrunch of the pebbles and' tap- tap of the mules, hoofs, was the dull roaring of the swift grey torrent far below the trail. The atmosphere seemed to be very close and heavy, and accordingly affected the spirits of the party. The guide was a taci- turn, stalwart Indian, who silently led the way. Suddenly, and without warning, they heard a deep loud rumble seeming to come from the very bowels of the earth, accompanied by a great quivering and shaking of the earth. Almost immediately they knew that it was an earthquake. The guide cried out, Hold tight to the ad- dle, trust the burros ! Page 19 THE TOCSIN-1922 f The mules threw themselves flat on their bellies, and spread out their legs. Several were not quick enough, lost balance and rolled off the trail, with horrible shrieks. Luckily enough, they had been without human burdens, and were just pack-mules. Screams and cries arose from the throng, and gripping the burros with clutching hands, the riders raised their eyes to the sky to pray. As my grandmother looked up to pray, she said afterwards, that it seemed as if the very walls of the canyon came to- gether with a great clap, and the earth shook to its foundations. There was a long shock, followed by a few minutes of ghastly silence, then came two short shocks, and all was still. In a breathless instance the mules struggled to their feet, more falling down to the churning, angry rapids below. The company slowly made their way out of the canyon of death and horror, their progress blocked every few feet by bowlders and loose, treacherous dirt. Just out of the passage, they came to a small, flat, grassy plateau, and here they pitched camp for the night. In the early morning they rose, ate breakfast, packed the mules, and resumed the way to Loreto. As they were not far from Loreto, and made rapid headway, they reached their destination in the early afternoon. It would be more truthful to say that they arrived at the place where Loreto had been. They found ships and boats from the harbor up in the hills, now mere broken hulks. From the bottom of the deep-sea, strange and beautiful sea fish, as well as numberless sharks and shells were every- where to be found. As for the town, there were bodies, wreckage, trees, bits of adobe buildings strewn over the place where the town had stood. Loreto was completely erased from the map of Mexico. The only whole thing left was the belfry of the church, whereupon, the people, seeing, cried, Ai! It is the will of God! ' As soon as possible, relief ships and steamers came to Loreto, or what had been Loreto, and carried the refugees away. Of those who fled to the hills, many were hurt, few survived. But on this afternoon the harbor was at its best, smiling and dimp- ling in the breeze.

It is very much like a large park where vast crowds assemble on great occasions. It is sur- rounded by public buildings, including the cathedral, which is a magni- ficent building. The cathedral has two large towers which can be seen from the roof of almost any house in the city. Its walls are decorated with many statues. Among other buildings in the plaza are the post of- fice and Teatro Nacional which is a theatre belonging to the government. Here in the plaza at evening, the people of Mexico City go promenading, the seiioritas and their dueiias in one direction, the youths in the other, but glances are not prohibited. Most of the houses of Mexico City are similar to those of the United States. They are strongly constructed and not lacking in beauty. Wood- en houses are very rare and adobe houses are found only on the farms, in small towns, and in the suburbs of the city. Most of the streets are paved and there are some large avenues con- necting the parks and small towns, of which there are a great number. One of these parks is the well-known Chapultepec Park, which is connect- ed with the city by a long avenue in which there is the statue of Liberty and many other statues. In the park itself is the summer residence of the President of Mexico. The place has traditions that go back to the time of the Aztecs. The schools are much like those of the United States in the method of teaching, but are quite different in other respects. School opens at eight o'clock and there is a short recess about ten-thirty. Everybody goes home for lunch at twelve o'clock and does not return until three-thirty. There is no recess in the afternoon and as school does not close until five o'clock, there is no time for athletics. Since there are only six grades instead of eight, the school year is much longer and harder. There are public examinations given at the end of each year, covering the whole year's work. These examinations are given by teachers whom the stu- dents have never seen before. The questions are given orally in a large auditorium. The people of the southern and central part of Mexico are quite dif- ferent from those of the northern part. The percentage of Indians is greater and since the climate is so warm and the land so fertile they Page 22- THE TOCSIN--1922 never worry about food or clothing, so they care less about educating their children. In the northern part, since the climate is cold and the soil not so fer- tile, they have to work harder for their living and also try to better con- ditions by educating their children. The people as a whole are divided into three classes. The lower class includes the Indians and the uneducated mestizos , who live so far from schools that they are entirely unable to receive an education. These are the so-called peones who wear the large sombreros which many American people think that all the Mexicans wear. Next is the middle class which consists of the educated people, as doctors, lawyers, teachers and so on. Last are the capitalists who are the enriched middle class. In Mexico the young ladies are now allowed to go out with gentle- men, nor is the boy allowed to visit his senorita's home unless he is a near friend of the father or brother. The gentlemen have to content themselves with talking to the. seioritas at the windows or balconies. Sometimes they come at night and sing under their windows. The marriage ceremonies are very strictly observed and the bride must wear a bride's dress. After the marriage a banquet is given to which all the friends are invited, and after the banquet dancing begins which sometimes lasts a day and a half, or even two days. ln order to understand the Mexicans thoroughly, one must study the history of the country. With so many different changes of governmental power and with incessant civil wars raging continually, Mexico has not prospered greatly. Albert Chavez, '24, Page 23 THE TOCSIN-1922 Dramatics OPERETTA The Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs this year presented Swords and Scissors , a Military Millinery 0peretta , written by Frederick H.

SENIOR PLAY This year the Senior class chose Booth Tarkington's well-known comedy, Clarence , to present as its annual play. Although it was rather an ambitious undertaking for amateurs, we are ready to wager that not another high school in California could have presented so excel- lent a performance. We know that Clarence Burrell, as the eccentric Clarence was perfect, and Emma Roberts in the role of the much-sought governess, Miss Pinney was equally good. Marjorie Phelps as the incorrigible Cora , Miss Pinney's charge, was an immediate success. And can you imagine a better Bobby Wheeler than Henry Sammet's portrayal of the character? Lewis Sutton as the harassed father of the quarrelsome Wheeler family was very good, as was Elen Saxelid who took the part of the self- pitying stepmother of Bobby and Cora , Minor parts were unusually well done by Lucy May Parsons, the maid, Alex McLeish, the butler, Laura Keir, the private secretary, and Grant Dechman, the persistent grass-widower. They were excellent, all of them, and Clarence will take its place as one of the dramatic triumphs of Santa Clara High School. - Once Upon A Time CAN, by straining my memory, recall the time when I wanted to wash dishes. It is unnecessary to say that I do not care to do so now. The time when washing dishes seemed one of the most delightful of pastimes was before I could see into the sink, even though I stood on tip- toe. I yearned to handle the soft swashy dishcloth, and splash the beau- Page 25 THE TOCSIN-1922 tiful soap suds. Nothing could be more delightful than to rub those pretty china plates, unless it was to scrub out the iron spider with the linked dish-scourer. But my mother said that I was too young to wash dishes. From that day I tried to hasten my growth by every natural and artificial means. I tried kicking in the air to lengthen my legs, and be- tween act I ate. In fact, I also ate most of the time during the acts and when I could not get common food I ate dirt. Dirt is healthful and I thrived on it. At last, when I was about five years old, my mother let me wipe the forks and spoons. I could not wipe the knives for fear I might cut myself or somebody el e. I progressed very slowly and my eighth birthday passed before I could do all the dishes. My mind also had developed by this time and now I hated dishwashing as cordially as I had liked it before. Several times I threatened to run away because my mother insisted on my doing the dishes. Once I really started, and got as far as the middle of the orchard when I saw my mother approaching with a look of determina- tion. Instantly, concluding that discretion was the better part of valor, I strolled leisurely back, remarking calmly as I met her, Isn't it lovely out this morning? I thought I'd walk around a bit before doing the dishes. However, that did not satisfy me. I can recall a number of times when I meditated suicide because of those dishes and spent considerable time trying to decide which I preferred, the rope, the creek, or the laud- anum bottle. I often pictured to myself the grief of my friends and my mother's intense remorse. When suicide failed, my mind soared to all the pinnacles of fame, trying to find which one would be most suitable for looking down in scorn upon dish-washing relatives. As none of them suited me, I con- cluded to be generally disagreeable. But, owing to my mother's firmness of disposition, I was washing dishes all this time. I had become an expert at it, although I hated it. Some of the noblest aspirations of my life came to me while at the dish- pan. In fact, my only poem was composed while washing dishes. My family all hope I'll never write another.

The National Weekly Events were flashed on the screen and proved to be very interesting as the pictures con- cerned my old classmates of Santa Clara High School of the Class of 1922. I waited anxiously for the first picture, when l-oh! it: was Grant Dechman! Now what could he be doing that was creating univer- sal interest? He is a famous classical dancing teacher at the Milpitas Dancing Academy. Who would ever have thought Grant would be a dancing teacher? The next was a mighty surprise to me! There was a picture of Miss Laura Keir, who is now a member of the United States Senate, just com- ing out of the White House. Laura is doing California a great deal of good by her influence in Congress. Then there was a picture of Edward Botillg what could he be doing in a band master's uniform? Why, he now owns and directs the largest and best band in the world, it is far superior to that of Sousa. Eddie's playing in high school certainly helped him a great deal. Elmer Newton, of all people! Is it possible? He is now the best known ladies' hair dresser in the United States. He has travelled in all the foreign countries and studied hair dressing until he is a marvel at it.

Sister Ralph next appeared on the screen. She was giving a talk on ':The Evils of Humanity ! Sister Ralph certainly gives inspiring speeches. There is Bert Pearson, what has he done? You know Bert is now the greatest Human Fly in the world, and he has just completed a most wonderful feat, he climbed the leaning tower of Pisa and came down alive. Next came a familiar face, but who could it be? It was William Perry, now the owner of the Moose Dance Pavilion in San Jose. He is intending to improve the place a great deal. Alice Kemp is now an undertaker in Alviso-by-the-Sea, and is doing a very fine business, because so many are drowned in the Alviso Sea. There was a picture of a base-ball game, girls at that, and there was Teresa Jacobs, pitching for the American Baseball League, and her team has not lost a game this year. Good luck, Teresa! A wonderful discovery! and the discoverer is Clarence Burrell. He has discovered a process for bleaching ladies' hair that is much easier and quicker than peroxide ever could be. World's Speed Record Broken on the San Carlos Speedway! Who broke it? Why, Ruth Thompson, of course, on her new Kitty Car Spe- cial. Atta boy, Ruth! Election in Santa Clara, California. Mr. Ellis Benson was appointed assistant Garbage Collector by the Santa Clara Chamber of Commerce and City Council. Elen Saxelid came onto the screen next, just getting into a machine. Elen is now an actress of international fame, you know. The next was an ad for Arrow collars. Why, I knew that face! Of the model, I mean. It was Henry Sammet. Could you believe that Henry would become a collar model? Louise Baille, the famous Spanish dancer, will appear at the Vic- tory theatre, next Friday and Saturday evenings . I must stay in town to see her. William O'Neil has returned to his beloved country, Ireland, to fight for the good cause. He is a Sinn Fein leader. We never thought Bill would have an opportunity to fight for the old country, back in the days at Santa Clara High School. Attention all High School Students! Miss Ruby Trivette has just finished her latest book and won the Nobel Prize on How High School Page 31 TH E TOCSI N-1922 Children Should Behave in School . It is very interesting and has many good points for pupils to follow. San Jose Railroad Company changes management! Mr. Paul Thomp- son of Santa Clara, has been appointed manager of the railroad and wishes to notify the public that there will be three cars from San Jose to Santa Clara after twelve o'clock every night to accomodate late people . Miss Gladys Franck is holding a very fine position at the Agnews State Hospital as the Physical Torture Teacher. Miss Vera Barngrover and Miss Mable McEwen have just opened their Home for Departed Souls of the Bugs that had been tortured by them in the Biology Lab. of the Santa Clara High. The Publicity Bureau of Morgan Hill advertisers announce that they will advertise any thing that you pay for. Just apply to Matthew Loo- ney, Morgan Hill, California. Ernest Bettencourt is the private secretary and treasurer of The Na- tional Ice Cream Company of Washington, D. C., and has just issued a proclamation that all high school students should eat more ice cream and that ice cream sales should be held for student body benefits. The Steel Magnate, Mr. Horatius Dictallis Humbird and Mrs. Hum- bird Cnee Bernice Brownj have started on their record-breaking trip around the world on their velocipedes. Miss Leontine Baille has just returned from Paris, and is having a wonderful time shocking her old friends and neighbors by her newly adopted style of dress and actions. Minnie Cavello is now chief dietician and matron at the Napa Hos- pital in Napa, California. There is another face that looks familiar. It is Forrest Bentzien, who has just written some very popular new songs. You know Forrest is now the famous crooner of lullabies to the children in the Milpitas Day Nur- sery. There is another picture of some one I'm sure I know. Yes. It's Margaret Dear! She is now the leading lady of the beauty chorus of the Midnight Follies of 52 at the Winter Garden in New York City. Betrothal: Mrs. J. French announces the engagement of her daugh- ter, Grace Margaret. Grace will make her future home in Sunnyvale-by- the-Seag but will give no clue as to the Lucky man 's identity except that he is of royal lineage. Marjorie Phelps came next! Sister Phelps of the Salvation Army, gave a very interesting and enlightening speech on the corner of Market and Santa Clara streets in San Jose, last Friday night, entitled, Boys, Why Don't You Stay Home at Night? Page 32 THE TOCSIN-1922 Advertisement for the Rex Theater: Miss Teckla Van Natta, the noted leader of the Mac Sennett Comedy Girls is playing at this theater on Friday and Saturday of next week. They expect a good house a Miss Van Natta's former home was in Santa Clara. Miss Fernie Gleason came next. Fernie has recently made her debut at Milan, Italy, starring in Verdi 's Il Trovatore and has met with such success that she has been named as Galli-Curci's successor. Miss Doris Kersell, having developed her debating power until it is a great as that of Daniel Webster, is stirring the hearts of people all over the world. My! We should be proud of Doris, as this might be the outcome of that debate she won for us Seniors in 1922. Miss Laura Morrison came next to my view. Well, what could she be doing? Laura is now the pride and joy of all the literary circles of America because of her recent success as a novelist for the Full of Pep Magazine. Next was a picture of Frieda Hoffman. How glad I was to see her. She is now the radio receiver for the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York and has received the first message from the planet Mars. The next picture showed Severino Ubungen stepping into his limou- sine after he had received a prize at a photographic contest for display- ing some of Santa Clara 's celebrities. The next was a picture of a store crowded with people and all going to buy something without knowing what they wanted. Why, it is Leon- ard 's Cash Grocery and Elizabeth Ravizza is their private secretary. William Yeager was the next person flashed on the screen. Bill is now the Deputy Sheriff of I-ketchem County and is the terror of all boot-leggers. He just succeeded in capturing fifty of them making and selling Prunel . There was a face that I was sure that I knew. It was Herda Stohsner dressed in a diver's suit. Herda now works for the United States Secret Service as a deep sea diver after hidden cases of XXX. The next picture was of Mlle. Helen Lundeg showing some of the lat- est dress models and styles of hair dressing at Deauville. Who was that girl in a nurse 's uniform? Well, of all things. It was Miss Emma Roberts, who is now head nurse at the Honolulu Sanitarium for the weak-minded. All the patients are crazy about her. The Arizona News announced that Lewis J. Sutton, the owner of the I Cheatum Bank in Gopherhole, Arizona, has just been arrested for robbing an old lady eighty years old of her only daughter. How cruel of Lewis! Page 33 TH E TOCSI N-1922 Frances Smith, the great authoress and writer has just finished her very learned book called The Smith 's Dictionary of Unpronounceable Words . Miss Dorothy Perry, the noted Atlantic Coast aviatrix, has recently completed a successful flight from Paris to South America, where she will teach the natives some of her latest dance steps. One of Miss Perry's latest contortions is called the Futuristic Hop. The next picture was one of Miss Anita White, just getting out of her car. Anita has just been appointed the head of the Bostonian Tech- nical School of Arts in New York. Well, what do you suppose Miss Lucy May Parsons has done? She leaped into undying fame when she invented a holeless doughnut at the Edison Chemical Works, Whisky Bend, Ohio. There was a picture of Alex McLeish, then the picture machine broke and the manager came out and announced that Mr. McLeish would be at the Victory in person soon. You know Alex is a movie actor and beats Rudolph Valentino as a lover, too. Ah! the machine is all right again. Why! A great invention! Miss Vera Parmer calls her new invention The Griddle . What is it? Why, a hot water bottle that will stay hot for twenty-four hours. Last of all Lloyd Berry. Lloyd has just accepted a lucrative posi- tion with the Ford Motor Company, because of his patent on a new and original way of squeezing three into the front seat of a Ford, and driv- ing with one hand at the same time. Pictures are over and how anxious I am to see all those people. My, but I enjoyed that better than any other picture I have ever seen!!

As we had the honor of being the first class to present the new school with a gift, we wanted to take advantage of the honor by making our gift the very best one possible. When we thought of that great empty building so nearly completed, we realized that there were a great many articles from which to choose that would be very acceptable. The building in itself is beautiful, but this, we fear, can not be said about the ca1npus . We knew, however, that a garden and lawn were being planned, some of us pictured, on the small round lawn in front of the building, a sun-dial. A sun-dial! This was the ideal gift. A sun-dial will be of great value to the students of science, and we are sure that every student in the school will find it useful. It is also very beautiful, being made of flawless marble. In years to come, when members of the class of '22 visit the new high school and the first thing they notice is the sun-dial, they will be proud to say, That is the gift of 0'll1' class. We challenge any other class to present the school with a more use- ful, a more beautiful class gift. .1i. The Dandelion A dandelion by the roadside grew, And shone and shone with golden hue, She lifted high her slender head, And nodded it merrily as she aid: I sorrow not, nor feel deep grief, Or hide my beauty behind a leaf. She shook her blossom and the pollen fell On a tiny violet near a blue-bell. But soon proud dandelion turned to white, Covered with down, all soft and light. Mary Vasconcellos, '25.

Many people do not realize how many hardships the first white people had to conquer, when they Went to settle the Islands and christianize the natives. It was to them no summer resort. On November 4, 1819, seven men and their wives, and three Hawaiian boys, who had been brought to the United States a few years before, boarded the Brigadier Thaddeus , for their missionary work in Hawaii. Among these missionaries who landed on the Island of Hawaii was my great grandmother, Percy Partridge Whitney. She wrote many diaries While she was doing her missionary Work, but the most interesting of all these were her diaries for the years 1821-1829, of which I will give ex- tracts. Diary of My Great Grandmothers for 1821 March 26- . Two vessels arrived from America yesterday. One was owned in part by Capt. Suiter who some time since brought us letters and many things from America. He and another captain in company with him, have presented us with a barrel of hard bread, a barrel of molasses, part of a barrel of beef and pork, a considerable quantity of tea, several hams, a lot of pickles, a large pitcher of cranberry preserves, a bottle of pepper and some mustard seed. Capt. Suiter offered us his carpenter ability to make us some tables, which we very much need, as we at present have none large enough for all our family to sit and eat together. April 17- The queen has just presented Mr. Whitney with an elegant teaboard about the size of that which I had left at home. The other day the king sent me a peach-blow crepe shawl and the same day he gave my babe a yellow and white silk one. The queen has given me six and one-half yards of calico, to make my babe some slips , and between nine and ten yards of curtain furnishing to cover my sofa. April 21- The king and queen with three sea captains, Capt. Suiter, before men- Page 38 TH E TOCSIN-1922 tioned, Capt. Reeble, and Capt. Lurnu of ship Taitar, who brought tl1e frame of our house from America, dined with us today. The interview would have been pleasant had it not been for the crowd of natives who accompanied the king and queen, but they necessarily must have their attendance. Some carry spit dishes, others keep off flies. Imagine how you would feel with thirty or forty naked Indians about you, some sitting in one place, some in another, some stretched on the mat so thick that you must either step over or with difficulty step around them, then you will have some idea of my situation. But placed as we are among heathen people, we are obliged in some measure to tolerate it, if you wish to gain confidence and secure favor of chiefs who generally have a large train of servants about them. May 11- This afternoon I called at the king's and as soon as I had seated my- self, the queen told one of her men to bring a large roll of dark blue bom- baretti. lt looked as if it had lain a considerable time and was somewhat eaten by moths or worms. She tore off about three yards which had been rolled on the outside and gave me for my babe, then took off eight yards more and gave me for a petticoat. It was a very acceptable present. I find that a coat and loose gown is the only comfortable thing I can wear in this warm climate. The king likewise gave Mr. Whitney a roll of nan- keen containing ten pieces. May 15- This morning we made an excursion up the river, a large river near our house, in a double canoe. I have never before been so far from home since I came to this Island. Our number was fifteen besides native child- ren and twelve men to paddle the canoe. A lofty perpendicular ledge of rocks on one side and the massive pile of volcanic eruption on the other, presented a sublime picture. NVe sailed up the river as far as it is navi- gable, and on our return landed but a mile from home. The king had given orders to one of the men to get us whatever we should want and accordingly he collected a large quantity of watermelons and bananas at our request. On our Way home we were pleased to see the natives coming to the bank of the river with offerings of bananas. It is a custom when one goes into the country that the natives give presents. We were pleased with our excursion. May 15- We have just received a packet of letters from America by the ship William. Most of the letters to Mr. Whitney. Fifteen from college boys. June 2- . s 1 Page 39- THE TOCSIN--1922 , Today the queen came in with a calico gown in her hand for me- Oou mah-puk-mah oe CHI give this to you J. It was one she bought of a captain and was so small she could not wear it. June 23- Again alarm by fire. We have just discovered a large fire coming from the mountains up the gulf. The Wind is rapidly bringing it to the village. Mr. Whitney has gone with some natives to see if they could stop the fire. June 25- Mr. Whitney came back and said for us to move out all of our valua- bles as the fire was coming to the village rapidly. The fire had not yet reached the king 's magazine of powder which contained several hundred casks. The king was afraid and left the village. He first went to our garden which is about one-half a mile from here. Then he set his men to work burning the grass so that the garden inside was not injured, then he went off several miles to ship. The fire kept raging closer to our house, but later it turned toward the sea and our village was saved from destruction. June 29- Mr. Whitney dug the first well ever dug on this Island. It is twenty feet deep. The king did not think water could be obtained by this method, but we have convinced him that it can. Now we have fresh water. Be- fore, we always had water from the river. Aug. 8- This afternoon I took a walk to our garden. I called at one place where the family had just seated themselves for their meal, which con- sisted of tarrow and tauqw tops baked together in the ground and a lit- tle dirty salt, which was in a piece of a broken calabash. A bucket of water stood near the door with which they quenched their thirst by put- ting down their heads and sucking it into their mouth. They ate their food with a good relish ''noo-e-ro-ah-mo-mo-nuh Cvery sweetj. Aug. 29- Night before last a child of the queen's brother was brought into the neighborhood, sick. Such lamenting and cries as were heard from the natives. Next morinng more cries were heard. The child was dead. When We went to the house, after breakfast, we saw the father carrying the corpse in his arms. The body was covered with silk blanket and a handkerchief was thrown over its face. We asked to see the child 's face. He refused, but later he showed us only its chin. Nov. 21- The first funeral procession which I have witnessed since I have been here on the Island has just passed our house. In some respects it resem- - Plge 40 TH E TOCSI N-1922 bled our funeral, and in others it did not. The corpse was covered with a scarlet cloth tied on a couple of poles, which were carried by men and followed by a train of natives. This person, whose funeral was being held, was a wife of a chief, whom he murdered. They have gone over a river, which is near, and it is said the bones are to be taken out of the corpse tonight to be preserved. Nov. 10, 1825- The change Wrought in one of the influential queens, since I first knew her, is wonderful. The haughty, disdainful awe which once ap- peared on her brow, is now changed into a childlike spirit. I was much pleased the other day, to see her exhibit so much of this spirit in receiving a gentle reproof for sitting with her back toward the pulpit. The person who carried the chair placed it in that position and she, without thinking, took her seat. It was unintentional in both. The thing in itself is not wrong, but it seems particularly desirable here that the congregation should face the speaker, as by this means much play and disturbance can be avoided. She said no one had ever before told her it was wrong. May 23, 1826- For some weeks past, the influenza has prevailed here. It has been so general that scarcely an individual has escaped it, whether young or old. Jennie Pogue, ?23. . Springtime in California When the golden poppy covers like a carpet all the land, And the songs of mating robins are heard on every hand, When the green blades just a peeping Promise harvests worth the reaping, Then it 's springtime here in California. When the bees are building honey-combs in flower-covered bower, And the butterflies flit airily from every dainty flower, When the blossoms of the fruit trees, Scent with sweetness every breeze, Then it's springtime here in California. When the children prattle blithely as they gayly trip along, And the workmen whistle tunes of joy and often hum a song, ' When the thoughts of bright tomorrows, Drive away all of our sorrows Then it 's springtime here in California. Ruth Thompson '22. Page 41 THE TOCSIN-1922 The Way To a Man's Heart cc OHNNIE, will ye bring in some wood? It was a wash-woman who spoke. She was ringing out a mop in the backyard. Above her was a net work of wires and on the ground were different pieces of old stoves, broken wagons, and other odds and ends. Aw, Ma, can 't I go and play base-ball? The kids are getting tired of waiting, Johnnie pleaded. He was about nine years old and he was dressed poorly. You do what I tell ye to or I'll paddle ye, besides I got to do Mrs. Jones 's wash. Then his mother went into the house. Johnnie dropped his base-ball and bat in the yard and went into the wood-shed. After a few bangs with the hatehet he came out from the shed with an arm-load of wood. It was some time before he came out of the house, and he then brought with him a small bundle on a stick. As he crossed the yard he stepped on a banana peal and almost slid into a mudpuddle made by his mother's throwing her wash water into the yard. He ran to the fence and quickly climbed over. Ho! Ho! how funny ye look, where ya going? asked a boy about as old as Johnnie. Sh-come down in your cellar a minute and I'll tell ya. When they were settled Johnie said, I'm going out West ta fight Indians. Want ta come, Mike? Why ya going? Mike asked. Aw, I haveta do all the work and they 're always petting sis. Look the way she dolls up, and she always packs that little suit-ease around with a powder-puff in it so her nose won't get shiney, and-, Oh, won '11 ya come along? Well, I'd like to, but Ma just baked some pies and she gave your ma one. Did she, honest Indian? You mean it, don't you? You ain't kid- ding me? Johnnie asked excitedly. Nope, I ain't kidding you. Then Mike added, Are ya going to run away? Not today, Johnnie said, as he got up to leave. How close to dinner is it? There 's the Whistle now, Mike replied joyfully. Johnnie, come to dinner, somebody hollored. I can't come much faster, Ma, Johnnie answered as he climbed the fence again, this time in a happier mood. William Grant, '25.

The Freshman party, which was given on March 17, was considered a great success. With the consent of the Student Body, the Freshmen have made a pennant in the school colors which bears their class number, '25. On May 29, the Freshmen gave a Memorial Day program which showed their class originality. The first year Latin class sang the Dies Irae. SOPI-IDMORES The officers of the Sophomore class this year are: president, Halor Titcomb, vice-president, Mildred Simmons, secretary, Elsie Wahl, girls' athletic manager, Nadine Bollinger, boys' athletic manager, Elmer Johnson, member of executive committee, Lionel Thorpe. There are eighty-four members of the Sophomore class. If we should speak of the Sophomore girls we would say that they are peppy and most of them all around athletes. The Sophomore class gave a dance on the twentieth of January which was very entertaining and a huge success. The decorations were oriental and the dancers were dressed in oriental costumes. Prizes were offered to the ones who Wore the cleverest costumes. J UN IORS The officers of the Junior class for the present semester are: presi- dent, Carlyle Harmon, vice-president, Theodore Nelson, secretary, Helen Blackford, boys' athletic manager, William Fuller, girls' athletic mana- ger, Marguerite Walters, executive member, Henry Schulz. On the night of the Freshmen reception, the Juniors gave everybody a taste of their pep by having fortune-tellers, witches with magic look- ing-glasses, a wild western hold-up, and many other stunts in the biology room. In the general science room, a few Junior students presented a very amusing skit. Page 43 THE TOCSIN--1922 SENIORS At their first class meeting the Seniors elected the following officers: president, Lewis Sutton, vice-president, Alex McLeish, secretary, Laura Keir, executive member, Ellis Benson, girls' athletic manager, Fernie Gleason, boys' athletic manager, William Perry. On November 10, 1921, the class pins arrived. They are little S. C. blocks, the C blue enamel, and the S gold. The class number 22 is engraved on a small blue triangle which is in the center of the inter- woven letters. The Senior dance was given on November 18. There was first a musical program after which dancing was enjoyed in the study hall. 1- A Gift For Mother Down by a brook, Where birds warble and woo, A little white violet Quite demurely grew.

This tale deals with a voyage I took with an old sea captain into the South Seas. I had had no experience on the seas, having studied to be a doc- tor. But my dislike for the practice of surgery had brought my father to the conclusion that I should choose some other trade. As I had always loved the sea, having lived quite close to it, he decided that I should try a sailor's life for a time. I embarked in the Rock as cabin boy. We sailed many days until one evening, the men, seeing a huge rock immediately in front of the ship, were greatly alarmed. We had no time to change our course, and realized that we must perish. Just as we struck, the rock seemed suddenly to raise itself high out of the water, sending the ship violently to one side. My shipmates and I were thrown out into the water. To my amazement I landed in shallow water, and sighted near at hand a low shore. I waded toward it, and upon reaching land, gazed sea- ward to ascertain the fate of my ship and comrades. There was no sight of either, which fact disturbed me much. I then observed my surround- ings as best I could in the failing light. But I was extremely tired, so, with that, and the heat of the day, I found myself much inclined to sleep. Lying down in the soft grass, I slept soundly for, as I reckoned, nine hours. In the morning I was suddenly awakened by a shrill noise, not unlike a railroad train in my own land. I immediately jumped up and ran in the direction of the sound. There, to my astonishment, I saw a train creeping slowly along the tracks. The train traveled so slowly that I stepped onto the platform of one of the cabs and craned my neck to ascertain the reason for the slow pace. I happened to be near the engine, and knowing something about trains, realized that it could go no faster. We finally entered a town and the train came to a jerky stop. 1 jumped from the steps and strode into the town. Much to my amaze- ment, every movement of the people was exceedingly slow. A man passed a woman, and, in giving the usual salutation of lifting his hat from his ' Page 48 TH E TOCSI N-1922 head, did the act so slowly that he reminded me greatly of the mechanical dolls in the fairs at home. I accosted a man on the street, who answered my inquiry in my own tongue, although very slowly. Upon my remarking, he answered that the people 's movements did not seem slow to him. ' Being inclined to eat, I entered a restaurant, and ordered a meal. While waiting, I examined my watch, which luckily had not been dam- aged by the sea, and, comparing it with a large clock on the wall, ob- served to my astonishment, that it registered ten times as fast as the clock. As I reckoned by my watch, the waiter consumed one hour in pre- paring my meal. After satisfying my hunger, I again ventured into the town. I came to what seemed to be the town park, which, by its appearance, was kept no better than the one in my own town. In the park a fair was in prog- ress, and, finding my money similar to the money used here, I decided to enjoy some of the entertainments. In the first enclosure was a man doing tricks which seemingly amazed the people much. But I saw nothing which was wonderful. The man performed the tricks so slowly that I perceived in what respects he fooled the people. He suddenly called upon any person in the audience to tell what had become of a certain coin which had disappeared. Much to the great surprise of all, I told the man exactly where the coin lay. Upon stepping out of the enclosure, I heard a man announcing that volunteers were wanted to enter a race which would end at the seashore where a dinner was to be served to all contestants. Realizing by this time the slowness of these people, I saw that I might win the race, and being a fair runner, I decided to enter. The race started with the shot of a pistol. The finishing spot could be sighted some quarter of a mile distant. I found, to my surprise, that many of the contestants were good runners, and I had to task myself to the utmost. Upon coming near the finish, I observed that the line which I must cross was very near the water front. By this time the men at my back were pressing me hard. Summoning all my strength, I dashed across the line, and, stumbling for a few yards, fell into a small boat which lay beached upon the sand. I was so spent that I fell into a trance. When I awoke I felt the boat moving, and opening my eyes, saw sailors dressed in the navy uniforms of my own nation rowing the boat toward a huge ship. At last I summoned the strength to inquire as to the destination of the ship, and was informed, to my great delight, that it was bound for my own country. Page 49 TH E TOCSIN-1922 In due time I reached my home land, a much wiser man and a better sailor. But notwithstanding my most diligent search, I was unable to learn more of the land where all things moved ten times slower than in my native country. Alex MeLeisl1 '22. HOW T0 TAKE CARE OF CHICKENS Ye chicken raisers, read carefully my lines, for herein is information that may be of great value to you in caring for your poultry. Though I have not had great experience in the art of raising chickens, I have had unusual success with the one chicken I raised. Pollyanna was given to me, when she was but a few days old, be- cause he was bow-legged. A chicken with such legs would be a disgrace to Sandy McLoud, who had the reputation of raising the best hens in the valley. Sandy also gave me a book by I. Knowe, containing many facts and theories concerning my new enterprise. Sandy requested that I use the book very carefully, for three years ago he had bought it at a second-hand store for ten cents. He also requested that I give him the eggs that Pollyanna laid, should she think it fitting and proper to lay any. In fewer words our proposition was this: Sandy was to have the eggs, I the use of the chicken. Since Mr. Knowe said that baby chickens should be kept warm, I purchased a large thermos bottle. To warm Pollyanna I placed her in the oven for a few minutes. Then I quickly thrust her into the thermos bottle and corked it tightly. But Mr. Knowe also said that chickens required warm cooked food in addition to wheat or barley. Here was a new problem. My precious Pollyanna had to be fed. The warm food that seemed to me the best suited to a chicken's con- stitution was soup. Another problemg I must find some Way of convey- ing the soup to Pollyanna without taking her out of the bottle. Follow- ing Mr. KnoWe's suggestion, I made a small hole in the cork of the bot- tle and inserted a funnel. I then used a piece of glass tubing for a syphon, placing one end of it in the hot soup. The other end I placed a little above the funnel so that as long as the soup remained boiling on the stove, a little at a time would be let into the bottle. As the soup had a long, up-hill way to travel, I thought it would be sufficiently cool by the time it reached Pollyanna. During the first half day I saw that the supply of soup was never low. But, I reasoned, Pollyanna must have wheat. I set up another appa- ratus that would give my young charge a continuous supply of wheat for the second half of the day. Page 50 ' THE TOCSIN-1922 At night I heard a queer sound in the bottle, a sound like someone breathing heavily. I pulled out the cork, expecting Pollyanna to jump out. Instead there was Ollly this strange, heavy breathing. I put my ear to the mouth of the bottle in order to hear more clearly. I'm stuck, said a faint voice. No truer words were ever spoken by a chicken. With great difficulty I pulled my baby out. Pollyanna was a full grown chicken! When I picked her up, she put her bow-legs around my neck, thus showing her affection for me. Night brought with it another problem. Where should Pollyanna sleep? The spare bed was just the place. Here she slept and slept well, for in the morning she was even larger. The next day I took my chicken to see Sandy McLoud, who, I thought, would marvel at her size and intelligence. But Sandy merely shook his head. You'll not forgit about the eggs. Look out for lice, they 're doing badly this summer. Lice! Another problem to be solved. Again I consulted my book. Again I found the desired information. I took Pollyanna into the back yard where I poured gasoline all over her. Then I dropped a lighted match on her. When the great amount of flame that arose vanished, three dead lice and a smiling, happy Pollyanna were left. Oh, Pollyanna, my chicken,' ' I cried, H you are now a perfect chick- en except for one thing. You have not laid an egg. When I finished speaking she ran into the barn. Soon I heard a joy- ous cackle. I entered the barn only to see Pollyanna jump off a beautiful big egg. But as she was not so slow as an ordinarily raised chicken, she resumed her place upon the egg. In a few minutes she again jumped up. The egg had hatched! I took the small chicken into my hands and without examining it, started to Sandy McLoud's. Pollyanna followed proudly, knowing whither I was bound. Guess what I have in my hands, I said, when I was face to face with Sandy McLoud, who merely shook his head. I slowly lifted one hand, allowing the lively little chicken to stand up and view the world. Alas for Sandy! Three cheers for our side! In my hand was a bow- legged chicken! TRAPPIN G BIG GAME Thursday evening I went into the back yard to feed the par- rots. As the process of preparing dinner was taking place in the Page 51 TH E TOCSI N-1922 kitchen, I sat down on the old bench which refuses to stay put unless propped up against the back fence. I saw the smaller Polly drop her portion of bread as usual. She had scarcely climbed to the ground to get it when an enormous rat emerged from a hole under the barn. I must stop at this critical moment to explain that the cage of the Pretty L-auritas Cfor such they have dubbed themselvesj is built up against the side of the barn, to save buying wire for one side. It is made of strong wire and hard posts, for if it were not, it would have lain in ruins long ago. Once these Spanish beauties CYes, they are. I don't think so, but they doj from Central America, have started, they do not give a second thought to the high price of lumber. You thought I was telling about a rat, you say? Ah, so I Was. There- fore I shall again bring my rat into prominence. Please regain the breath that you lost when he entered the cage be- fore it is gone entirely. You were foolish to be frightened, because no onslaught followed at all. You people are always ready to think the worst. No, nothing out of the way happened, except that I sat quietly on the bench. The rat approached the Spanish beauty and gave her a half apprais- ing look. She returned it peacefully Cvery unusual, I assure youl. She tilted her yellow-crested head to the side a little so she could hear the better. How disgusting! They were holding a conversation and I could not understand a word they said. Oh, well, the world is always like that, you know. In a moment or so the prosperous looking rat picked up the piece of bread and went back into the hole whence he appeared when he frightened you so. Laurita, in that awful, deliberate way that her race possesses, went up to the perch to partake of the portion awarded to Laurita II, who is rather old and is always getting the worst of it. The next day I came out on the back steps to put the milk bottle on the bench, when I saw the rat again. My father had set a trap the night before, but the rat evidently had come from the city and was very wise, for he had not been caught. The horrible creature walked right into the wash-house. I yelled for my father, who came with a stick. I had shut the door when I saw the rat go in. My father opened it now, and, stand- ing with arched back under the wash-tubs, frightened, but ready to fight, if necessary, was a-kitten! Only a case of mistaken identity! Oh, well, I told you the world was like that. The rat was caught in the trap that night anyway, so, why should I care? Dorothy Perry, '22, Page 52 Page 53 TH E TOCSIN-1922 When One Looks About I thought that writing poetry, Was the hardest kind of work, All inspiration failed me, My task I tried to shirk. I went about down-hearted, With many a long-drawn yawn, Then I began to seek a theme That I could write upon. I sauntered in the garden, And saw the fragrant flowers, The bees all gathering sweetness Through blossom-laden bowers. And then I saw blue mountains, And thought of brooks with moss And leaves a-murmuring secrets As the Winds their branches toss. 7 7 Why, look at what has happened! I've written quite a rhyme, And many more I now could write, If I only had the time. For now I see and know That here in God's creation, It 's just the easiest kind of task, To find an inspiration.

My small brother looked at me for a moment in silence Then- Maybe the chickens won't eat it. Well, I don 't care if they don 't. Hurry up and take it out. Don't stand there like a dunce 1 My patience was nearly exhausted, and the cake was the cause. The first two layers had stuck to the paper in the pan, so that when I had pulled it off, the whole bottom of the cake had come with it. I de- cided to bake the remaining layer, because I did not know what else to do with it, even though I expected it to turn out like .the first two. I shut the oven door with a bang on the last layer, resolving that never again would I bake a layer cake. Did you throw that out to the chickens? to my brother. He nod- ded energetically. Well, I suppose I'll have to make a sponge cake. We simply have to have a cake for Sunday. When the third layer was done, I took it out and carelessly turned it upside down on the board. I pulled the paper from the bottom of the layer, and to my surprise, it came off without sticking to a particle of the cake. Well, what do you know about that! Just because I was expecting this one to fall to pieces, it stayed together. I proceeded to make a frosting for the one layer when I had put the sponge cake in to bake. I out the layer in half and made half of a two- layer cake out of it, so that it was really quite good looking. When I started to frost the sponge cake, Delmer watched the pro- cess with interest and asked the time-worn question, Can I lick the pan? I scraped the rest of the frosting out and started to spread it on the top of the cake. But Delmer interrupted me. Leave the lumps on it so Daddy 'll think it 's baker's cake. Oh, no. He Wouldn't like it so Well if he thought it was baker's cake? Why wouldn't he? Because he likes home-made cake better. Why does he? CK Page 54 TH E TOCSIN-1922 Oh, I don't know. Don 't ask so many questions. At noon when I went to get the layer cake for lunch, I discovered that a large piece was missin De1mer! Did you eat that cake? No, I didn't. Well, who did then? Where is it? Well-you didn 't put any frostin' on the chickens' cake so I took them a little piece. g. Marjorie Phelps, '22. TOCSIN TIME Tocsin time is comin' round.

This dis- appointment is the new high school building. Since the work on the building began, this class has anticipated the honor of graduating from it. If everything had gone smoothly, as was expected at that time, our anticipation Would, in all probability, have come true. There is one consolation, at least to some, and that is that we shall be the last class to graduate from the old school. If one tries hard enough there is always something for which he can be glad. Therefore the only thing to do, in order to overcome our great dis- appointment, is to say, We, the class of 1922, are the last ones to gradu- ate froin the old school building, for that, too, is an honor. Freshmen and Sophomores! What does the Tocsin mean to you? What are the first things you look for? The majority of you turn the pages eagerly until you reach the jokes, where you scan the pages to see Whether or not you are made the 'goat' in any of them.

Don't be critical if there are not many, just remember that snaps cost money in the year of our Lord, 1922. The articles come next. You Wonder how the story you wrote looks when it is printed, if it really did get in. While looking for your own article, perhaps you find an article written by one of your friends. When you have read these, your interest in the Toesin ends,--no, maybe you look at the athletic record and wonder if you will ever be able to win a block. Now we come to the Juniors and Seniors. What does the Toesin mean to you? What things are of the most interest to you? By this time you have begun to grow, in becoming a Junior you have become more dignified. Instead of looking for the jokes first, you look at the snaps and then the stories and articles. You begin to be somewhat critical, too, and you know you could write a better story than any of these if you'd only get in and half try. What does the Toesin mean to you, Seniors? It is your book, your class has made its publication possible, and you know it is better than any of its predecessors. Of course, you are more interested in Senior matters. First you look at the class pictures, then the horoscope and the prophecy-and the snaps-and-you may criticize, but just let any one else try it! And you know you will always keep it as a remembrance , looking at it now and then, wondering where this one is, where that one went. In those after years, the Toesin is not so much a crowning achieve- ment as it is a book of memories. vIlCl'N!l Y N ZF 3 'ix'-', ' -'ni ,JI -. .1 V in -.'

More than forty men went out to work hard for the open positions. The first practices were slow, but it was not long before the team of War-horses shook off their lethargy and went to work like a team of young and frisky colts. The first practice games were composed of veterans of the past two champion seasons, who, no doubt, will take the championship for the third time. Thompson, captain, took charge of the backstop work with Jerry Fuller to relieve him. Jerry is going to make many of the league pitchers worry, for he surely knows how to slam the ball. Pearson, who boasts that he is the tallest pitcher in the league, worked on the mound with a good brand of curves. He also showed up well at first, while Perry took the mound to relieve him. Perry, who holds the initial first bag, needs no introduction, as he is generally known as the Big Bambino. Young Wilhelmy, brother to George Wilhelmy, took care of second base. Bettencort will be kept on reserve to back Wilhelmy in case of a broken tooth or bruised bone. Lewis Sutton had to hold down the difficult corner at third. Sakamqto, who would rather be called Motto because of the simple reason that he takes play together for his motto, took care of short. The outer garden was in the care of Irish 0'Neil, a new man to the team 5 Edward Botill and Johnson, with Busby in reserve.

The fresh- men are coming out strong and have a team that beat the Campbell fresh- men by a score of 9-8. They played two games with the grammar school, but were defeated. The sophomores are out night and day. They were victorious in all their inter-class games. The scores are as follows: Sophomores 26, Freshmen 6. Sophomores 5, Juniors 4. Sophomores 6, Seniors 5. We have a very well balanced school team this year, Teresa Jacobs and Nadine Bollinger exchanging honors for first base and the pitcher 's box, while Fernie Gleason and Marguerite Walters are wearing out the mitt and exchanging an outfield. Second base is entrusted to Mary Con- forti, our heavy swatter, and Amy Berry holds down third base. Isabel Vanconcellos is stopping them on short, while Dorothy Mendez, Elsie Walters and Winifred Roberts are showing the rest how to pick them out of the air. This year we are very proud of our girls' baseball team as this team won for the school the P. A. L. championship. The decisive game was played with San Mateo, May 23, 1922, our girls bringing home a score of 12-2, thereby winning the league 's championship. Nadine Bollinger pitched an exceedingly good game, and the outfield and bases were well guarded. The seasons games and scores are as follows: Santa Clara 11, Campbell 7. Santa Clara 16: Morgan Hill 7. Santa Clara 105 San Jose 2. Santa Clara 5, San Jose 13. Santa Clara 12, San Mateo 2. GIRLS' FIELD AND TRACK The girls of Santa Clara High School on Saturday morning, May 27, Went to San Jose, where a girls' inter-school meet was held. The schools taking part were San Mateo, San Jose, Santa Clara, South San Francisco, Mountain View, Campbell, and Redwood City. The events of the day were: Jump and reach, basketball throw for distance, basketball throw for goal, baseball throw for distance, baseball throw for accuracy, chariot race, sixty yard dash, hockey stroke for distance. Ribbons and medals were awarded the girls winning highest per- centage in field and track events.

After the events, the participants and visitors were invited to a lunch prepared by the San Jose and Santa Clara high school girls. Everyone enjoyed this immensely. A rally was afterward conducted by the cheer leaders of each school for which prizes were awarded. Everyone was then invited to a swim in the San Jose high school plunge. GIRLS' VOLLEY BALL Volley ball, the new sport that has been added to girls' athletics, has proved very successful. Although all the members of the team were inex- perienced, they were ambitious, fought with the idea of Winning, and suc- ceeded in capturing the P. A. L. championship. Our first game, which was played with San Mateo on our court, was won by a score of 17-21, 21-13, and 21-17. Encouraged by this victory we played San Jose a few days later and surprised them by beating them 21-20, 19-21, and 21-13. Our last game, which was to decide the championship, was played with South San Francisco on our court. We won by a score of 21-19, 14-21, and 21-9, thus winning the P. A. L. championship for the girls' volley ball team. The members of the team were Helen Blackford Ccaptj, Doris Ker- sell Cmgrj, Fernie Gleason, Alma Wacholz, Minnie Helzer, Nadine Bol- linger, Winnie Roberts, Marion Hart, and Elsie Walters, Lillian Cotton, Louise Bowins Csubsj GIRLS ' TENNIS Tennis for 1922 has been reorganized, each school having two sets for singles and two for doubles. There are to be four matches to decide the championship of the G. P. A. L. Santa Clara lost the first match to San Jose in both singles and doubles. We have Mt. View, Campbell, and San Mateo to play. The girls on the team are Frances Dechman, lla Wil- cox, Helen Blackford, Elsie Wahl, Mary Nakahara, Josephine Wagner and Marion Hart.
