My only message to you. as graduates, is that you develop the altitude of discovery — discovery of new things in art, music, literature, science, economics, or any field of endeavor. In pursuing these new fields and discovering new things you will find a high degree of pleasure and happiness. So do your best to cultivate it.

Mr. Veenker supervises the boys while Miss Robinson looks after the feminine portion of the school, ll anyone thinks that these two persons have an easy position they are cordially invited to assume our vice-principals ' jobs. Not counting the disciplinary measures that have to he administered, thej have to supervise the student activities, give personal advice, meet disgruntled parents, study the different student difficulties that arise, and many other countless responsibilities. In joining with Mr. Barnum they have helped the students to straighten out main a difficulty, and we are extremely grateful to them. I . ' , COUNSELORS The aims ot counseling are many: to become a personal adviser to the student, to establish a better pupil-teacher relation ship, to guide in the making of student programs, to discover the special interests of students, to provide for curricular en- richment, to give vocational advice and t encourage a greater degree of student parti- cipation. Each counsellor has a group oi on? hundred students and through a three- year period gives his time to the advance- ment of these students through personal contacts.

BROOKS LOPEZ book A.

The President ' s aim is to wisely direct all activities the student body and to pro- mote and maintain the highest type of citizenship throughout the school. His detailed duties are to preside over all meetings of the Associated Student Body and the Executive Board, have charge of all other Student Body activities not otherwise provided for, and enforce the constitution. The vice-president is chief as- sistant to the president, and his main objective is to guide and di- rect the activities of all sophomores and incoming students. His duties are to preside at the sophomore assembly and instill in them the feeling of loyalty for the school, and to manage all student social affairs. The secretary acts as secretary to the Executive Board, recording the minutes of each meeting, writes an account of each A. S. B. assem- spaper clippings and articles of interest correspondence, and has charge of all bly, keeps a sera pertaining to the A. S. B., keeps a file of petition-,. The yell leader is chieflj responsible for the spirit and good sportsmanship of the students. He plans and leads rallies of the A. S. B. and leads the students in organ- ized yells at the contests and other occasions in which Santa Monica High School is i (presented, and prepares and decorates the athletic field for games with other schools. The Commissioner of Forensics ' objective is to organize and promote all for- ensics, debating and public speaking and create special interest in public speaking activi- ties. His special duties are to arrange for all inter-class and interscholastic debates. The Commissioner of Athletics is responsible for the stimulation and welfare of all athletics engaged in h the students. He appoints team managers, awards letters, ai ts as host for all isiting teams, and arranges for transportation of teams. The purpose of the Commissioner of Entertainment is to arrange details for ill assemblies and stage activities of the Associated Student Body. He appoints a head A. S. .B usher for the semester, an Assist- ant Commissioner of Entertain- ment, and presides at some of the assemblies. The Commissioner of Student Publicity is the editor of the published each Samohi, which Friday during the school year. This officer ' s objective is to direct the publication of all news items and to keep the student body in- formed of all school activities.

Her special duty is to promote in- ter-class games, check the eligibil- ity of contestants and award ath- letic letters. The President of the Boys ' League is primarily interested in promoting the moral and physical welfare of all boys in the school. His special duty is to direct the Advisory Board, preside over all boys in the Boys ' League assem- blies and to manage the annual Vodvil.

Her special duti Girls ' League assemblies, direct the Christmas Cheer activities section of the Advisory Board. 1. Since the student budget did not allow funds for assembly entertainments, many programs were given this year by the students themselves. 2 . After almost winning the Bay League Ail-Around Athletic Trophy during the last four years, the Samohi teams finally swamped all their opponents during the past year by gaining 52 points. This brings this much sought for award to our trophy case. 3. In order to replenish school funds and also to promote more social activity among the students, several school dances were given during the noon period during the school year, with a great deal of success. Approximate!) four hundred students enjoyed these dances at the Girls ' Gymnasium. STANTON SH1U RV IIAMII.TIIV are to preside at all 1 to manage the girls ' GIRL ' S SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD Something d which to be proud! The girls of Samohi governed entirely by a Senior Advisor) Board, made up of Junior and Senior girls. (iirls out of uniform are promptly taken care of by our capable Uniform Dress Committee, a body which seems cruelly to issue demerits. One cannot loiter in the halls, nowadays, not with our serious looking hall guards or, shall we say, policewomen ? One even has to eat her lunch on the school grounds now, for it is extremely hard to get by the eagle eyes of the girls on the Grounds Committee. A very stern and judicious body of girls make up our seven rotating courts, a different court each Wednesday. Each court consists of one judge, six jurors, a clerk, and a girl who takes shorthand notes. One has to be careful what one says, for now everything that is said goes down on paper. The first semester the Board was very capably managed by our Chairman, Mary Cogle] ; Vice-Chairman, Helen Wegener; and Secretary, Evelyn Harris. This last semester the clerical work of the Board is under the supervision of two Executive Secretaries, Eva Stinton and Betty Swearingen. This is a new system and seems to be proving wholly satisfactory. Helen Wells and Helen Wegener are Presi- dent and Vice-President respectively. I he Board has done, is doing, and will continue to do much for the girls of Samohi. It deserves a great deal of praise and appreciation. BOYS ' SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD The Boys Senior Advisory Board is composed of about one hundred boys, whose purpose is to promote good citizenship throughout the school. This group is divided into four committees as follows : 1. The Hall Committee checks all hall conditions during class periods. 2. The Traffic Committee controls and directs all school traffic. 3. The Bounds Committee supervises the enforcement of bounds rules dur- ing the noon period. 4. The Grounds Committee is responsible for maintaining the buildings and grounds in a neat and attractive condition. The Sophomore Class is the main organization of this committee. In addition to these committees, the entire Board is divided into five sections, each of which serves in the various periods as a student court. These courts are organized in the same manner as a regular city court with a judge, clerk and a bailiff. All questions of student discipline and citizenship are pre- sented to these courts for action. The Senior Advisory Board is led by the President, Vice-President and Secretary of the Boys ' League, with a faculty member as the advisor. THE GIRLS LAEGUE ■ pel spirit ibei Gi The first big event (it the season was the Big and Little Sister Party which wel- comed the Sophomores to Samohi. At Christmas time a large party was given in the auditorium for the needy chil- dren of Santa Monica. Toys, candy and sweaters were distributed among the chil- dren and were enjoyed very much. The numerous Penny Hops were a success socially as well as financially. One of the functions that the Board sponsored was a luncheon and tea for the advisors of the League. A Fashion Show presented by Jose- phine S. Roberts and her Costume Design class, was featured at one of the League ;ner Assemblies; and speakers and student talent vson were supplied for the remaining Assemblies. A vocational guidance tea was spon- sored by the American Association of Uni- ' League to enable all senior girls to find help in their versity Women and the chosen professions. The League closed its year of activities with a Buffet Supper held in the Library ini the senior girls and their mothers. A lovely supper was enjoyed and a dance and entertainment followed. The feature of the evening was the Installation Ceremony for the new officers of the Girls ' League Board. The League feels deeply grateful to Miss Robinson and the other faculty advisors who have helped them so willingly throughout the year. A great deal of credit is due the Board and its advisors, for the friendly spirit they have created among the girls, and the main social activities which they have promoted during the year. President Helen Wells Vii i President Helen Wegener iry-Treasurer Helen Fleming Advisor Ethel M. Robinson BOY ' S L E A U GE jV which is composed of all the boys in school, is one of the most active or ganizations. Some of the most im- portant duties which fall to the League is the organization and oper- ation of the Boys ' Senior Advisory Board ; the membership for this board is voluntary and its chief duties are patroling the grounds and hall o keep them orderly. Next is the ar- rangement of the Boys ' League As- semblies; these assemblies are very good and usually pertain to athletics, some of the speakers were Charles Brickley and Braven Dyer. The school band gave a concert and U. S. C. athletic staff put on some motion pictures showing the correct form for all track and field events. The Boys ' League Dance was the first dance of the year Harding and his orchestra supplied the dance very fine. (Probably the biggest event of the on January 29). A fine group of acts were presented in the Boys ' League Vodvil. They were :i- follows: A tap dance, presented by the Girls ' League; The Ranch Boys (Ralph Berg and Alden Ogem) ; a tumbling act by (hanger and Compan} ; Gwen (iibbs in her blindfold drawing act; Bill Fletcher presented two sketches; the most interesting act was Blacky Morrissey ' s Radio Station in which he presided as announcer, introducing various numbers. Blue and Gold day was celebrated throughout the High School with dashes of blue and gold predominating in Lvery room. Prizes were awarded for the most decora- tive room, which was won again by Mr. Mitchell ' s classroom, in the evening with a blue and gold dance in the girls ' gymnasii md proved to be a great success.

Veenker CLASSES POWERFUL ELEMENTS REFINED AND WELDED HARMONIOUSLY TOGETHER FROM THE ESSENCE OF THE CITY FUSING THROUGH THIS PROCESS CALLED EDUCATION, A SYNTHESIS FROM WHICH EMERGE THE LEADERS OF TOMORROW RY HELEN COX WINTER CLASS Since entering Samohi in February, 1931, the Winter Class of 1933 has taken an important part in every branch of activity, and in every school produc- tion. As sophomores, main of the ath- letically inclined promptly started on their brilliant careers, while the rest supported them, and the traditional Sophomore Skip and other school func- tions with enthusiasm. In their Junior year, the class took a large part in the staging of the annual plaj and prom. Meanwhile, individual members began to distinguish themselves in school politics, art, drama and music. I nder the excellent supervision of the class advisor, Mr. Elmer Krehbiel, the class was organized in February, 1932, with Winston Woods as president; Donald Davis, vice-president ; and Elisa Rucci as secretary. A new custom was immediately established when the class chose their senior sweaters at such an early date. During the year, some of the school ' s most prominent athletes were produced from this class. In foot- ball, Captain Ray Lopez, Nick Dona- toni, Bob Kelly and Fred Simpson were outstanding. The class was represented by Laurance McDonnell and Bob Orr in basketball, and in tennis. George Trask proved to be one of the best players Samohi has ever possessed. In the scholarship field, Louise Bach, Valedictorian; and Kathrine Paterson, Salutatorian, excelled. Salvadore Mirales in music, Howard Swift in art, Helen Remsberg and Bill Furman in drama, and Paran Hopkins in politics, complete the list of those on the class ' bid for fame. The last activities of the class included one ol the finest Senior A dances ever held, along with an interesting Senior Assemblj and a Farewell Luncheon on the day of graduation.

On tin- contrary, school is just one phase of it, and not at all the most important phase, either. A child is sent to school, young men and women go to college to get an edu- cation. Is that what we mean hv it? No, it certainly is not. The idea is quite ern mei us. Take th ease tor example-: A and B were introduced to C, who was seated, smoking a pipe. Without Lirtfiti . up or moving the pipe from his mouth, he said: Pleased to meet you. lie monopolized the conversation, discussing everything from the derivation, properties, and action of radium to the advantages and disadvantages of the latest type ol ait cooled engine. Ignorant fellow! said A to H, disgustedly, after taking leave oi C. Why, man, exclaimed B, in surprise, he ' s traveled all over the world, and had the hest of educations at Harvard and Cambridge! Which one was right, A or B? A, most decidedly. What if C had studied at Harvard and Cambridge, anil was a globe trotter? What if a man can tell just how the Samurai lived; can describe the aurora borealis and aurora australis; can tell just what samarium and indium are; can quote from Tennyson, Shakespeare, Bryant. Moliere. Goethe, and other famous poets; can discuss the works of Dumas, Hugo, Emerson, Bacon, Balzac, Blasco Ibanez, and so on; can identify everyone from Apollo to Z?us; can sneak French, German, Esperanto, Hindustani, etc; and has seen and heard Svmil Thorndike, Sir Johnston, Forbes-Robertson, Dame Clara Butt, Sara Bernhardt, Einstein. Edison ami others? He ' s educated in one sense of the word, yes, hut he ' s no on? to he looked up to unless he has good manners and a clean, upright character, the mark of a gentleman. Who cares for the man who gets ahead in busi- ness h dishonest) and graft, whether he be rich and widely read or not? Only those who are like them themselves. Before we ever begin a conversation with a man we put him down as educated or not bv his actions and manners. To acquire good man- ners and a (lean character is the fundamental step in getting an education. Moral training should be given precedence to book knowledge in both home and school. Webster defines education as the importation or acquisition of knowledge, skill or discipline of character; also act or process of training by a prescribed or customary- course of study or discipline. Education begins with life. It constitutes everything we do, everything we learn, all the knowledge of whatever kind that we obtain throughout our lives, not only that gained from study and travel. Therefore, if we are to hi- an educated people, let us place the stress on disciplining our characters; then we can turn our attention to literary training. SUMMER CLASS In September of ' 30 arrived a group of adventurous students to Samohi, eager to learn and to attain higher goals. We have reached that goal after three years of hard work. We have been carefully guided through these three years by our loyal president, Bob Barnum, who for three consecutive years has held the Class Presidency. We have been represented in ath- letics bv several outstanding young boys. Dale Kasl, All Bay League, ' Ed Harri- son, Bob Barnum, Bob Mason, Jack Van Matre, Wayne Sarff, Mel Kast, Jack Brooks, Louis Bitterlin, Harry Dunni- gan— these boys have all done their bit to bring fame to Samohi. We have had several students promi- nent in dramatics ami the literary field, whom we wish much success. Among those in drama are Royal Stanton, Ber- nard Freedman, Grace Walker, Mary Virginia Scragg, Alan Campbell and Lynnbe Biorckman were outstanding. We have been very fortunate in mak- ing a success of our many dances and social activities. The two outstanding pupils in the class are the Valedictorian, Donna Thorpe, and the Salutatorian, Anna Barbara Kline. During their Sophomore year, the klein class sponsored the annual Sophomore Skip, which was a success as usual. In their Junior year the class gave the Junior Prom which is the outstanding event of the Junior Class. They also presented two one-act plays for assemblies. The Senior Class play, Fashion, a satire of the gay 90 ' s proved to be a huge success for the class. The outstanding members in the cast were: Lynnbe Biorkman, Grace Walker, Royal Stanton, Man ' Virginia Scragg, Bill Furman and Alan Camp- bell. Royal Stanton, a member of the Senior Class, was awarded the Tullis Trophy Cup for his outstanding dramatic achievements of the year. The Senior Dance, given in January of 33, was sponsored by both the Senior A and the Senior B classes. The dance was the Seniors ' outstanding event of the year, and was a gala event of the season. Those outstanding in art were: Robert Yost, Esther Gasper, Bernard Freedman, Shirley Belmont, Mary Helen Cox, Janet Littleton and Carol Zimmerman. The Senior Girls brought their Senior year to a close with the Girls ' League Mothers ' and Daughters ' Buffet Supper, for Senior girls and their mothers. The Supper was held in the library, the main idea being the installation of officers for the Gills ' League of the coming year.

SENIOR B In reviewing the pages of time, the winter class of 34 entered Samohi in February, 1931, and was duly welcomed into the Associated Student Body. Since that time, the Senior B ' s have displayed energetic activity in numerous fields of endeavor, and have shown true school spirit. The class has been well represented in athletics ever since first marching through the portals of Samohi. Its outstanding athletes have been Louis McNairy, Roy Staley, Adolph Bran- ding Golden Schiess, Louis Tarlton, Bert Lopez and Suddath Evans. The Senior B ' s were able to obtain their class sweaters quite early this year. The sweater chosen was a new and attractive type and has proven highly satisfactory to all purchasers. Incidentally, it has been said that this beautiful sweater is about the best that any Senior class has ever possessed at Samohi. The class has not had any outstanding affairs as yet, as it is a mid-year graduat- ing group. However, one great event looms prominently in the future history of the class. This is the Senior A Dance to be held next semester. It is being planned to make this dance the largest and most enjoyable Senior Dance in the history of the school. Naturally, some unpremeditated entertainments may occur during the re- maining course of events, but none as yet have been planned. M U i IRwflfcr x m TARLTON MCNAIRY BREARLEY JUNIOR CLASS Looking through the class of ' 32, we set- that they arc now busy Juniors. We notice that they have been an active group, and have main prominent and talented members. To prove this statement, let us look further and show you the reason lor our outspoken pride. At first glance, we see Pete Ratican as president of the class, Bob Brooks vice-president, and Lois Wear secretary. Outstanding in athletics are: Ray Athey, letterman in basketball and baseball; Paul Van Alstine, who won the 1,320 yd. by 6 seconds; Bob Brooks, who starred in basketball ; and Harold Rose- berg, Don Reid, Jack Abbey and Mor- ris Sawyer, who won honors in various sports. The talent of the class was represented by Glen McGufrin, leader of the Samohi Dance Band; Elliot Pine, prominent in debate; and Herb Kalman, Beverly Mahood, William Chapman, Shirley Humansen and Marjorie Sands, members of the Honor Scholarship Society. Superior dramatic talent was shown by Beatrice Feldstein, Druce Henderson and David Pierson in the clever Sophomore skit, The Boar. The Junior class play, I he Mysterious Bandbox, was an outstanding success, due to the exceptional acting of Virginia Roberts, Gwylln Ford, Mildred Balden, Peggy Channon, David Pierson, Druce Henderson and Bruce Matchet.

DAGGS JUNIORS S - Z COUNSELOR MISS STORY lll l s link I « i ■ SOPHOMORE CLASS The Class of ' 35 started breaking precedents from the first day of its entrance into the balls of Samohi. Surpassing all records for size, this Sophomore class of five hundred has hern an important factor in the life of the school. Not satisfied to rest on their laurels, however, this group be- gan casting about for other fields to conquer. Early in September a meeting was held for the purpose of electing offi- cers and organizing for the year ' s work. The officers elected at this meeting to serve for the first semester were Pete Ratican, president; Art Dellinger, vice-president, and Marjorie Page, secretary. The executive board proposed to the class that they establish a precedent for future Sophomore classes to follow by assuming the responsibility of supervising the -rounds during the lunch period to see that the scattering of papers and lunches should not detract from the attractiveness of our campus. In consideration of this service to the school, members of the class were to be exempt from the customary initiation and wearing of the green. This proposal was readily accepted and some progress was made along this line during the first semester, and still more the second. It is hoped that this service will be continued and improved upon by subsequent incoming classes. The Sophomore class was well represented in other school activities, too. While there were no outstanding stars on the football teams, there were many of the boys out and some of these will be heard from next year we hope. In basketball the class made even a better showing, having one member, Paul Slaughter, on the Varsity team. Other athletes of which the class is particularly proud, art Art Dellinger, Bill Huters and Lino Donatoni, these boys and several others having served the school well. Not to be limited to athletics, however, members of the class were well repre- sented in the band, orchestra, glee clubs, dramatics and in the events of Fiesta Day. While this group of Sophomores has not had the opportunity to produce any plays or sponsor any dances, it is not because of lack of enthusiasm or class spirit. Much is expected from this class next year and the year after if the same spirit of cooperation and loyalty to the school continues.

Among the various organizations in our school there is only one which is open to the parents of the boys and girls who make up its student body. That one organization is the Parent-Teacher Association. It exists largely for the purpose of properly interpreting the school and its problems to interested mothers and fathers and through them to the community. A close bond is also established with the teachers, and better work can be done both in school and at home because of this mutual under- standing and cooperation. Because of the very nature of the Parent-Teacher Associa- tion, it can see needs and many times relieve them in a way not possible through other school channels. Welfare work is an important and growing example of such service. The scholarship loan fund should also be mentioned in this connection. Another worthwhile activity is the Study Circle, where, under competent leaders, the oppor- tunity for self-analysis and the answers to many puzzling questions are found. Throughout the year, at each monthly meeting, programs are presented which are planned to be interesting as well as enlightening. The social hour following the pro- grams has been the start of many a lasting and valued friendship. It is hardly neces- sary to stress the fact that the Parent-Teacher group is established for service and improvement, and for the benefit of the school and its students in all possible ways. PAGE 57 N A UTI LUS Our Nautilus is an interesting rec- ord, compact in form, oi the school activities which take place during the year. Onlj graduating Seniors can iul] appreciate its value as a memory book that seises tn remind them of happj milestones in their school years and dear friends who were their classmates. This year the stall consisted of an all Senior group, but it is only through the grand cooperation that these Seniors received from the lesser classmen that makes this book the finished product which we know it to he. The ideals set by previous Nan ti 1 us. staffs were certainly of the high- est type and the present one had to keep on its toes every minute ill order to maintain these lofty standards. Former Nautilus ' have placed no less than Class A in the national ex- hibit in which Year Rooks from high schools all over the United States are entered, have ranked all American, ami won a National Trophy cup. With this record before them, as a constant reminder of what could be done, the staff set to work on a bud- get which was reduced twenty per cent from the budget of last year ' s Annual, anil endeavored to produce as fine or a finer book than that of past years. Many obstructions were encountered, but these only served to make us more determined that this book should surpass all previous ef- forts. The staff has spent many hours in outside work, and Room Thirty, during the sixth period, has for five months been the center of much cri- ticism of one editor on another ' s work, cutting and gluing of pictures, proof-reading, gaily sheets, and with it all a sense of humor which carried each one over many nerve-wracking places in this onward move to success. Before we accept your praise tor this fine accomplishment, the staff of 193.1 Nautilus wishes to express its hearty thanks and appreciation to many of our Santa Monica citizens who have contributed so much to the publishing of this book. Among this,- are Mr. and Mis. I.ind. to whom credit must be given for all individual and group photography; Jack Newnes, a former student of Samohi, who did all of the beautiful photographs in the opening section of this Annual, and we are onl sorrj that we were unable to obtain a picture of Jack for our book; to Ross Welch, who helped s,, greatlj in getting Junior Class and Fiesta pictures; to the Art and English Classes tor their beautiful work and valuable aid; to the entire Faculty for their marvelous support in helping to create the new Faculty section, and in many cases it was a supreme effort on the part ot a Faculty member to find time to do his ' share; to Mr. Ray Thompson, of Carlisle-Thompson Printing Company, who produced all FREEDM VN BELMONT VOS1 SCHON U VI.

Shirley Belmont Asst. Editor As editor of this year ' s Nautilus, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my appreciation to the mem- bers of the staff. Shirley Belmont, as associate editor, did her work most efficiently, and undertook all tasks (and there were plenty of them) with a fine spirit. Robert Bud Yost, as Art Editor, showed that he could not only draw, but also possessed a fine appreciative eye. Incidentally, Bud wrote the Foreword and Dedication. Bill Schon was our Business Mana- ger, and to hear his sales talk made one think the Nautilus sale meant his life. Grace Walker was our Organ- ization Editor. Grace had one of the biggest jobs on the staff, but she was never late with her copy. Royal Stan- ton was the Drama Editor. Royal was also the Tullis Cup winner for dramatics, and that means that you have to be a Thespian of no mean ability. Betty Heath and Bob Crossland were Girls ' and Boys ' Athletic Editors, respectively. Both knew about all there was to know in their line. Leslie Stockton fulfilled the Editorship of Debate. Leslie is a splendid debater, having made a letter in it, and his writeups show that he has a wide knowledge of matters connected with Debate. Marian Bush was Editor of Society. Her work is very original and presents many novel ideas. George Smitty Smith was the Campus Life Editor, and worked hard to complete those splendid snapshots. Betty Haley very ably fulfilled the responsibility of Music Editor. Betty showed a fine cooperative spirit also. Helen Wegner and Pat Mahood were assistant and chief typists, respectively. Although they were not on the staff, Bob Etz and Forrest Sagendorff were very dependable, and contributed much to the success and comple- tion of this book. Bernard Freedman Editor STOCKTON BUSH SMITH HALEY WEGENER MAHOOD MILLER ROBERTS PAGE 59 DRAMA a In this year ol the Great Depression it is gratifying to record the stead) maintenance of dramatics as an ave- nue of expression for the numerous students who desire to participate. Expense for scenerj and costumes for plays has been pared to an unheard of minimum; ambi- tious advertising programs have been impossible; royalties threatened to dismay us— but regardless | these things, the high level m dramatic values, for which Samohi is justlj known, lias not deteriorated. Starting ofl with Speaking to Father, bj George Ade. the season might he said to have reallj begun with Everyman, which was praised by competent critics as a verj beautiful production. Royal Stanton distinguished oi.ivi C. MORRIS himself by an impressive, rhythmic performance of the leading role. Modern costumes were used, and there was no adventitious aid from program music to suggest the mood. The old play itseli stood forth in true beautj and impressiveness. When Fashion was finally chosen for the Senior Play, from a long list under consideration, it was with a distinct intention of having a good time. Hut as events proved, main easier things could have been undertaken. It was due to the talent and determination of an exceptionally good cast that Fashion proved the best show for main months. The absurd scenery, the exaggerated posturing, the attractive costumes, and the priceless songs rendered at intervals for no reason at all, amused everyone who saw the production. Lynnbe Biorlcman was unquestionably the star as Mrs. Tiffany. Walking Down Broadway will arouse a smile of pleasant recollection whenever this production is brought to mind. This yeai has been an interesting one. There are no symptoms of decline in the interest and acting ability which project our school plays. If this high standard of support from those interested in dramatics is carried into coming years, Samohi ' s repu- tation as an excellent dramatic center will be effectively maintained. — Olive Morris. FASHION ' PAGE 60 a jy ■REEDMAX CAMPBELL FASHION Come out of the closet, villain! And so the curtain goes up with a roll on the Melodrama of Melodramas — Fashion. Written hy Anna Mowatt about 1845, this old play is a good example of the first attempts by Americans to produce drama. The characters are shallow, and the action is mechanical to the point of hilarity. The opening scene is in the home of Mr. Tiffany, a New York merchant. The characters are introduced, Zeke, the colored butler, Millinette, the French maid, Mr. and Mrs. Tiffany, Snobson, Mr. Tiffany ' s clerk, T. Tennyson Twinkle, a poet, Augustus Fogg, a very bored gentleman, Count Jolimatre, a fashionable European importation, Adam Trueman, an honest old farmer, Seraphina Tiffany, a flirt, it develops that Mrs. Tiffany wants Seraphina to marry the Count, but Mr. Tiffany says she must marry Snobson, as Snobson has Tiffany in his power. In the next act, Gertrude, the heroine, is introduced. Also Colonel Howard, who is an army officer, and Prudence, Mrs. Tiffany ' s sister. Gertrude discovers that the Count is only a cook and valet who is pretending to belong to nobility, and she determines to expose him. In doing this she is caught in a dark room alone with the Count, and she cannot explain. She is disgraced. Seraphina elopes with the Count, and Mr. Tiffany seems to be ruined, for Snob- son intends to send Tiffany to prison as a forger unless he can marry Seraphina. The couple return for some jewels, and the Count is exposed by Millenette. Gertrude i discovered to be the granddaughter of Adam Trueman, and heiress to an immense fortune. Then Trueman breaks Snobson ' s hold over Tiffany and the play ends hap- pily. Through the play Prudence is trying to get Trueman to fall in love with her, but is unsuccessful. One of the features of the play was the songs. Such touching ditties as Up in a Pialloon, sung by Prudence, Call Me Pet Names, sung by the Count and Sera- phina, Why Did They Did Ma ' s Grave So Deep? sung by Mr. Tiffany and as- sisted by Mrs. Tiffany, Millinette and the Count, and Walking Down Broadway, sung by Mr. and Mrs. Tiffany and the entire chorus, were the hits of the show. The songs had nothing to do with the play, but were merely put in for effect. Peanuts were sold during the performance, and many peanuts and pennies were thrown to the actors on the stage. FLEMING BELMONT Fashion was the Senior Class Play this year, and the cast included about all the veteran actors of the class. Bill Furman was outstanding in the part of Trueman, Bernard Freedman thrilled the audience to hisses as the Count, Royal Stanton did admirably as the hen-pecked husband, Mr. Tiffany, and LaMarr Morrissey did very well as Snobson. In the feminine roles, Lynnbe Biorlcman delighted the audience as Mrs. Tiffany, the woman who was attempting to be fashionable. Grace Walker as Gertrude, Helen Glow as Seraphina, Mary Virginia Scragg as Prudence, and Marge Wilson as Millinette, all gave a good performance. Other members of the cast were Jimmie Griffith as Twinkle, the poet, Meade Davis as Fogg, Allan Campbell as Zekc, Bill Strangman as Colonel Howard and Helen Fleming and Carol Zimmerman as guests at the ball given by Mrs. Tiffany. EVERYMAN Everyman was presented by the Senior Drama Class, October 1(1 and 11, 1933. This was an old English Morality play of the 15th century, and was presented fre- quently during that period. It was recently revived by Ben Greet. This play depicts Everyman ' s last day on earth. A messenger gives a short synopsis before the curtain, then the voice of God is heard telling Everyman he must be prepared for death by the close of the day, and that if he wants companions for his journey into the beyond, he may try to get them before death returns. He calls on his friends; Riches cannot leave his gold, Cousin and Kindred seem to develop serious ailments when they hear why they are wanted, Fellowship will stand by him while there is eat, drink, and good cheer, Beauty cannot bear the thoughts of the cold, damp earth, Discretion certainly will not go, Confession gives him a scourge with which to inflict punishment, but they all desert him save Good Deeds, and Knowledge, who stay with him until he is taken by Death, and the Doctor pronounces him dead. This play was certainly presented under difficulties. Due to unforseen circum- stances. Royal Stanton, who portrayed Everyman, was given just three days to learn the part. He gave a truly superb performance, everyone who saw him marveled at his ability in portraying such a difficult character. He was ably supported by the rest of the cast which included Meade Davis, LaMar Morrissey, Wally Castle, Charles McCoughey, Peggy Newberry, Lynnbe Biorkman, Carol Zimmerman, Alan Campbell, Bernard Freedman, Bill Bartlett, David Vachon and William Furman. THE BIRTHDAY OF THE INFANTA This play was taken from Oscar Wilde ' s story of the same name, and is the supposedly true story of a Spanish Princess, who lived about three hundred years ago. She was called the Infanta, and was a very spoiled child. A big celebration has been arranged for her twelfth birthday, but she prefers to slip away from the entertainment and dance before the forbidden mirror, which has been covered in memory of the Queen. The Chamberlain, whom she hates, finds her dancing, and scolds her severely. It develops that the day of her birthday is also the day of the Queen ' s death, and thus the King never appears at the birthday celebration. This infuriates the Infanta. A dwarf is brought to dance for her, and falls in love with her. He comes into the palace, and while alone, sees himself in a mirror for the first time, and discovers how ugly he is. This breaks his heart, and he cannot dance for the Infanta, which makes her angry. She laughs as the dwarf dies. Helen Glow played a remarkable performance in the part of the Infanta. Jorge Chesworth as the dwarf, Leo Simms as Don Pedro, a courtier, and Royal Stanton as the Chamberlain, all did well. This play was under the direction of Miss Morris and was presented in the Student assemblies. SPEAKING TO FATHER The first play of the year was a repetition of one of last year ' s plays, Speaking to Father, a clever one-act comedy, which is the story of an ardent young suitor who becomes engaged, and has to break the news to the father of the girl. The father, Mr. Pickering, who is a grouchy old pickle merchant, says that the suitor, Edward Swinger, shall marry his daughter Caroline if he can prove that he is a good business man. His first business venture nets him $48(1000, as he buys $500,000 worth of stock from Caroline for $20,000. The mother is very anxious to marry Caroline to Professor Bliss, to whom Mr. Pickering takes a very strong dislike at once. The play ends as Mr. Pickering gives his blessing to Edward and Caroline, much to the shock and sur- prise of Mrs. Pickering and the Professor. The parts were well portrayed by members of the Senior Drama Class. Bernard Freedman gave an exceptional performance in the part of the grouchy father, and Royal Stanton did well in the part of Edward. Helen Fleming as Caroline, Shirley Belmont as the mother, and Robert Foulkes as the odd Professor, all gave good per- formances. The play was received with delight by the students, many of whom re- membered it from last year. HALFWAY TO HEAVEN On December 8 the Bandbox presented a unique one-act play for the student assemblies. It is the story of an old man, the grandfather, who is near death, or Half- way to Heaven. All the relations come in and express their deepest sorrow that the old man is going to die. Some angels happen to pass, and decide to look into the thoughts of the people. They then reveal how the thoughts of each person are running to the gain that he will get out of the old man ' s death. To serve them right, the angels decide not to let the old man die, and as the curtain falls, the grandfather is on the road to recovery. The play was out of the ordinary, and there were many comments made upon it by the students. Most of them were favorably impressed and it went down as another success by the club. Grace Godino gave a good performance as Aunt Carrie, and Alyce Johnson did very well as Antoinette, her sister. Jack McQueen as Antoinette ' s husband, Louise Egbert as Tony, their daughter, Bernard Freedman as Tom, the son, Betty Bowland as th e nurse, James Worsham as the grandfather, Jorge Chesworth and Bruce Matchett as angels, and Glen McGuffin as the doctor, all showed talent, and made the play of real interest. ' THE TRYSTING PLACE 1 he Trysting Place was a cleverly manipulated little farce which was presented for the assemblies by Miss Loughran ' s fifth period Junior Speech class. The story deals with a youth who falls in love with a young widow, and even goes as far as proposing marriage to her. The mother and sister are very nosy and do not wish the boy to associate with women. They both, however, have secret loves, and a very tense and funny situation is developed, in which two of the men are hidden in the room while the other man is making love to the mother. In the end all the men are brought out of hiding, and the boy says he is going against parental rule and marry the widow. But she refuses him, and another man, who has been hiding in the room the whole time, is revealed as her real lover. Druce Henderson as the boy, Esther Cornejo as the widow, Virginia Westfall as the mother, Dorothy Bundy as the sister, Charles Picco as the sister ' s boy-friend, Gwylln Ford as the man who is in love with the mother, and Hugh Douglas as the other man, completed the cast. Miss Loughran is to be complimented on this play. ROMANCE IS A RACKET (Juniors) THE MYSTERIOUS BANDBOX Written under the name of Romeo and Jane, this play, chosen by the Juniors for their annual Class Play, proved to be one of the best productions dramatically that was seen this year. The entire play takes place in the home of Dr. Kenyon, a physician in Washing- ton, D. C. He has two daughters, one of whom, Letty, is in society, while the other, Jane, stays at home and does the housework. An officer, attired in resplendent uni- form, suddenly enters by the French windows, and asks to be hidden from pursuers. He carries with him a hatbox, which he requests be put in the bank, as it belongs to the Princess of an imaginary kingdom in Europe, from which he comes. He has en- tered while Jane only is in the room, and thus becomes acquainted with her. Letty comes in, and immediately she and the Captain, for so he says he is, become quite taken with each other. The Captain has to leave, but not before promising to correspond with Letty. Letty, however, is not very apt at the art of letter writing, while Jane is. Jane writes Letty ' s leters, and it is easily seen that she also is in love with him. When the Captains returns for the box a revolutionist comes and attempts to get the box, and in the fight the Captain is stabbed, which necessitates his staying in the home of Dr. Kenyon to recover. Just as he is getting well, the revolutionist returns, and this time is able to get the box from Jane. She, however, gives him the box contain- ing her sister ' s new hat, thus saving the real box. Then it is revealed that the Cap- tain is in reality a Prince. The Princess comes to accompany him home to Europe, when it is learned that the revolutionists have overthrown the monarchy, and a re- public has been set up in its place. The Prince is then free to marry Jane, with whom he has fallen in love. Unquestionably the star of the performance was Virginia Roberts in the part of Jane. In character all the time, she delighted the audience in her interpretation of the modest, shy younger sister. As the gallant Prince, Gwyllyn Ford showed himself a truly masterful lover. The part of the father, Dr. Kenyon, was portrayed by David Pierson in a very likable way. Mildred Balden showed talent as Letty. Other parts were well played by Druce Henderson as Brett, the revolutionist ; James Worsham as Mallory, a Secret Service officer, and a very funny character; Bruce Matchett as a General, and Peppy Channon as the Princess. The plav was, of course, ablv directed hv Miss Morris. THE MYSTERIOUS BANDBOX R MRS. UlllW RTS There must be more creative work in the actual equalizing ol opportunities in our own democracy— and most important ol all, in creating a new philoso- phy that will more perfectl) satisfj the soul ol modern life and make a convincing appeal to youth, ever eager to tare forth on some great adventure. [s not a major responsibility ol education to dis- cover and encourage the creative spirit? From every field of human experience come cries for leaders with vision, with creative imagination to see clearly into the future, individuals who, through their influence in social, economic, political and re- ligious fields will mould the consciousness of the world to a deeper understanding of human relationships, and tandard of living for all mankind. thereby determine a 1 That art is a subject well suited to the development of the creative imagination is conceded. The art department supplies the atmosphere of appreciation and encour- agement where the student with imaginative ability may grow. A major objective of art education is the enrichment of the life of the individual — the development of attitudes which wall find expression in building of character and high ideals. Attitudes of cooperation, initiation, responsibility, unselfishness, all these are developed through group work in which art inter-relates with other school acth ities. TOSEPHINE S. ROBERTS An Art Department is always a busy place, for art means activity, and activities became realities early in the year 1932, when the posters for the Community Chest Drive were started. Twenty splendid ones were delivred to Mrs. Braun, mad by the Illustration students — Mary Helen Cox, Bill Cox, Colin Coats, Sidney Allinokov, Elizabeth Bowland, Alice Russell, Janet Littleton, Carol Zimmerman, Meade Davis, Patsy Wallace, June Ramsden, Ray Enriquez, Fred Woods and Robert Yost. Sweethearts, the opera given hv the Music Department, motivated the next activity. How the Costume Design Class loved it. First the research, then the de- signs, next the exciting moment when Mrs. Roberts announced the names of the lucky people whose designs had been chosen. Pat Kildow ' s costume for Dame Paula, the manager of the laundry The White Geese, with its four-yard sleeves, June Rams- den ' s battered Napoleon, Patsy Wallace ' s costume for Liane and the six sisters, and the animated costumes of the chorus designed by Janet Littleton, Alene Riley, Jocelyn Hogg, Laura Sparks. Mary Gene Huters, Winifred Joyce, Una Peters, Betty Rope and Carol Zimmerman, will long be remembered for effectiveness and characteriza- tion. How everyone worked, hundreds of yards of materials to be purchased, to be decorated, dyed, cut and made. Work became fun, even the boys helped dying and decorating. ZIMMERMAN Sharing honors with the designers were the costume mistresses, Eleanor Wade, Dora Allen, Glennys Horn, Shirley Belmont and Mary Lou Curtin. How Shirley and Mary Lou kept the soldiers together is still one of life ' s mysteries. To Miss Brown and her Craft class for their work in making accessories, gar- lands of cellophane flowers for the ballet, roses for Sylvia, epaulets, boots, hats, belts for the soldiers, our appreciation and thanks. The students in Illustration made posters for the opera that were used for pub- licity by Miss Moon of the Music Department. Working on any production offers large opportunities for inter-departmental activities and is a valuable experience to every one participating. Such qualities as cooperation, initiative, dependability and responsibility are developed to a high degree, work shared becomes pleasure. Rewards and recognition are treasured by all and satis- faction is found in a task well done. The Girls ' League Fashion Show came next. Mrs. Roberts directed, assisted by Miss Rowena Deats, a student instructor from U. C. L. A., with the girls of the Costume Design class as models. The exceptionally modern stage setting with its interesting lighting was planned by Mrs. Roberts and capably executed bv Ralph Berg and his stage crew. The music was furnished by The Little Ensemble, under Mrs. Giampaolo ' s sensitive direction. The eternally interesting subject of what the girl of today is wearing was, of course, the theme. The costumes were shown in three divisions: school, daytime and evening clothes. Beginning with uniforms correctly and incorrectly worn, free-dress day followed, with models showing unsuitable and suitable dresses for school. Next the daytime clothes, suits, smart ensembles made by the girls in Miss Story ' s class, were followed by spectator sports clothes, and then the active sports, showing tennis, golf, riding, swimming, hiking, skeeing and bicycling. The last division showed the lovely semi-formals and formals of evening with their wraps and accessories. Throughout the pageant the art of dress as an expression of personality was em- phasized. The suitability of a costume that forms a perfect background for the individual and the value of simplicity in dress and makeup were important points. The dresses worn in the Fashion Show were owned by the girls in the group, which made the production very interesting to the audience. It was difficult to say which group most enjoyed the performance, the models or the audience. The models included: June Ramsden. Julie Isbell, Pat Kildow, Carol Zimmer- man. .Mai -ant Wilson, Alene Riley, Jocelyn Hogg, Alice Russell, Betty Rope, Mary Gene I Inters, Una Peters, Winifred foyce, Laura Sparks, Janet Littleton, Barbara Jean La Van, Man Hodgins, Helen Wolcott, Glennys Horn, Marion Silvey, Ger- trude Joyce, Virginia Beazell. Christmas activities followed. Beautiful textiles in block print, weaving and tie- dye were made under Miss Landrum, student instructor from U. C. L. A. Evelyn Hutchinson and Esther Gasper shared honors in block prints and in weaving Mildred Greenslade, Barbara La Van, Mary Hodgins, as well as Evelyn and Esther did splen- did work. An exhibition of textiles and costume designs arranged by Miss Landrum and Miss I Vats was shown in the Art Department of U. C. L. A. in January and brought such comment as Did high school students do this? Christmas cards made by the Illustration class were gaj individual affairs, printed no fascinating hand-made oriental papers, and added greatly to the joy of those who received them. Mi-s Brown ' s Craft class completed some fine pieces of woodcarving and tooled leather, especially worthy of mention for craftsmanship are: Mary Lou Curtin, Bar- bara Murdock, Marie Bergamo and Bernice Rau. During the last two weeks in May, an exhibition of art work from the Elemen- tary and Secondary pupils of the City Schools of Pasadena and Santa Monica, was shown in the art gallerj of U. C. L. A. The work shown by Santa Monica Hi«:h School students in art was representa- tive of classes in structure, design and illustration, and included: The Picnic, Fred Woods; Santa Monica. Bill Cox; Examination Week, Robert Yost; Sultan, Mary Lou Curtin; Fiesta, Josephine Verplank ; Fiesta, Joe Funk; and was done in classes under Mrs. Roberts and Miss Brown. With the coming of the second semester a new Nautilus began to take form. Another Nautilus! What a challenge this year of 1933 offered! How to carry on the ideals of the past with a budget reduced fifty percent in two years? How to make every economy but one, no economy in effort, no lessening of that ideal to which all past efforts of students have been dedicated to create a unified and beautiful book worthy in every respect to represent our school. How the problem was solved you must judge, we hope our efforts have been justified in this, the 18th volume of the Nautilus. In selecting the theme, the members of the Illustration Class wished to express an appreciation of all that the City has been to them in opportunity, and to show their belief that within the life and activity of their city could be found every element that the artist needs to motivate his highest effort. The City offers its natural beauty, found in the rhythm of the shore-line with its constantly changing moods, in the wind- ing depths of its canyons, in the soft rolling hills and the grandeur of the distant mountains ; the City offers its man-made beauty found in its business buildings, schools, churches and homes; the City offers a spirit of gracious friendliness, and hospitality, a mellow heritage from the days of the past; it offers its pastimes and its industries, it offers contrasts, subt leties and humor to those with alert eyes. All these aspects were eagerly discussed and then the work began. To Bob Yost for his initiative and cooperation go special honors. The work of Jean Behr, Colin Coats, Alice Russell, Meade Davis, Fred Woods, Janet Littleton, Beverly Garbutt, Mary Helen and Bill Cox, Shirley Belmont, Sidney Allinokov and Carol Zimmerman deserves special mention. BELMON r The Design and Life classes, under the chairmanship of Miss Brown, with Bar- bara Murdoch acting capablj as student chairman, and June Winder and Beatrice Burroughs sen ing as assistants, designed and painted Fiesta decorations by the bolt. Stunning big drawings, tree painted, were made for permanent wall decorations. Every student in the department was enthusiastic over the beauty of the Fiesta, its wealth of atmosphere and variety of mood, its wide range of material, its romance, its drama— all are rich in opportunities for art expression. The Costume Design class did research plates for the Fiesta for the school at large, which were placed on exhibition in the Library, front hall case and in Miss Cronkhite ' s room. The designs represented many types, and included the special peasant and Indian costumes of Mexico. The costume for the Jarabe, designed by Mary Lou Curtin, was accepted for Fiesta, and Fred Wood ' s Yy Tara La La. The production of the Fiesta from the art department ' s point of view, offers opportunities for many direct expressions of design. Practically every class is included in the project, from the students in art appreciation, to those in weaving, experiences in structure and design, illustration, interior decoration, costume and stage design, textile decoration and life drawing. Few activities in school life offer as much opportunity for growth to the individ- ual. Students develop a standard of judgment, a consciousness of the dependability of their associates, a sense of thrift and economy is developed through purchasing on a limited budget. Initiative, self-reliance, originality are all valuable outcomes of such an experience. The work of the entire student group, under Miss Brown as Art Director, de- serves the gratitude of the school for its beauty. During the year groups of students have visited the Huntington Art Gallery and Museum, the Los Angeles Art Gallery and Museum at Exposition Park, the Santa Monica Art Gallery in the Library, the Art Department Gallery of the University of California at Los Angeles, the Print Room of the Los Angeles Library, and the Santa Barbara Art Gallery in the Delaguerra Court. Other groups have attended produc- tions of the Pasadena Community Theatre, the Mission Play at San Gabriel, Argen- tina, and the Puppeteers Theatre at EI Paseo de Los Angeles. This actual partici- pation in art experiences is sponsored and encouraged. Students fortunate enough to have been members of these field groups return with an enthusiasm that is contagious. The Art Department offers no specialized courses for the genius — in fact, it ques- tions the advisability of placing the genius in public schools. Its entire curriculum is planned for the average individual to whom love of beauty and a desire for expression is an inherent quality. It offers to all, a sane foundation in appreciation wherewith one may understand and evaluate art in any form, where one may recognize the value of art as expressed in civic life, in the business world, in home furnishings and cos- tumes, it offers to a few, with special interests and abilities, opportunities that will permit growth towards future professions or vocations in art. Its philosophy is a sim- ple one; give to the individual an atmosphere of harmony where the expression of beauty may thrive, offer purposeful living situations that articulate with life in the community as well as in the school, encourage, stimulate, direct the individual to finer choices, finer thinking that he may express finer forms, and in the end, we believe that these future men and women will be richer in social vision and spiritual understanding because of these experiences shared through actual participation in creative expression, and that the good life will follow. A year of wider opportunity lies beyond, a new vision, a movement forward and upward in the scale of education — progression, growth, organization, all those come to us with the junior college. What will be the outcome of increased art experiences? Richer joys, a deeper sense of beauty, a more specialized and technical study, a real vocational training awaits those who desire it. To those who seek the inner beauty of understanding as well as doing, new doors are open. Who knows what lies beyond ? Art is a sign of Life. There can be no life without change. To be afraid of what is different or unfamiliar is to be afraid of Life, and to be afraid of Life is to be afraid of truth and to be a champion of superstition. — Josephine Seaman Roberts THE BRIDE AND (IROOM MARY AND SALVADOR toreador is just ;i little quicker and is standing besidt the flag instead of behind it as the bull had contemplated. The bull turns and rushes for another red flag and again is met by disappointment. The chulos now come on the scene beating and driving a poor old blindfolded horse, on which is riding a picador in a yellow suit, holding a long, blunt pole used to prod the bull. Lowering his horns, the bull charges the horse. After much playing about on the part of the toreadors, the banderilleros come and begin placing the ban- derillas in the bull. These banderillas are long sticks with pointed hooks on the end and covered with frilled paper. They have to be stuck within a given space on the bull ' s shoulder, and if they are placed awkwardly, the hisses and abuse from the crowd are limitless. Soon the waving of a red handkerchief by the President from his box is a signal that the play lias gone far enough and that the bull is to be killed. The banderilleros withdraw and the matador, or bull-fighter, who is to kill the bull, jumps into the ring witli a sword ami a small piece of red cloth wound on a stick. After saluting the President of Ceremonies and giving a little speech, he turns and deliberately mo ves toward the bull. By maneuvering around he is able to get the bull to stand with his two front feet together. Any other position for the bull, before he charges, would be tatal to tile man. At last the matador takes sure aim along the top of bis glistening sword. The bull lowers bis head and charges. The matador, bracing himself, lunges tile sword, sure, true, straight up to the hilt, into the four inch space above the shoul- ders. The sword, properly driven, darts down through the flesh without striking the bone and enters the heart. Death is instantaneous and the crowd goes crazy with enthusiasm. The matador goes around the arena bowing to the audience, while the gailj decorated nudes hurry to drag off the dead bull and horses which have fallen. The chulos, like nimble jumpjacks, rake the sand over the pools of blood ami the arena is then read} tor another bu ll. TAR A LA LA LA FIESTA GRANDE Fiesta! An array of color, light, and gay movement never to be forgotten. The casa bustled for weeks with preparations; then came the day itself. From noon until sunset the guests arrived— in carretas or on horseback. The house was placed at the disposal of the women, while the men talked or amused themselves outside. Still separated, they ate and waited for the dusk. At last the hour came, and the men mounted and rose into the courtyard with their magnificently silver-studded saddles and trappings gleaming in the mellow moonlight. Their tight-fitting clothes were resplendent with embroidery and metal buckles. In- side the senoras and senoritas sat along the wall in their all-white finery. Muslin skirts covered with spangles, satin shoes with wooden heels, and jackets fastened close to the neck were worn. Their hair was elaborately done with waves and curls, the older married women wearing it piled high under a comb, and the girls with it loose about their shoulders. Pearl necklaces and ear pendants were common because of the proximity of the La Paz pearl waters in Baja, California. The dances of the evening followed one upon the other, some being general af- fairs, and alternately colos. La Jota was a most popular yet simple series of steps, in couples, performed the balancing and circling. Sometimes childlike and entertain- ing games were incorporated, such as in El Burro. This was a sort of who ' s it? contest, familiar to the average modern youngster. One of the exacting solo dances was La Baniba. The senorita executing it had to pick up a knotted handkerchief from the floor with her toe, all the while doing complicated steps and balancing a filled glass of water on her head. At the pleasure of the host, an intermission was called for refreshments and rest. The dances then continued in high spirits until the Canasita de Flores terminated the fiesta, everyone circling and singing together. Thus another golden, happy day was passed. MUSIC Santa Monica lias for some tinu- had an enviable reputation for its sponsorship oi music activities. The cooperation oi the citj council, the various music or- ganizations and the Women ' s Club are in a large measure responsible for the enthusiasm and interest shown bj students in the activities oi the Music De- partment oi Santa Monica High School. Every year ensemble groups are formed and individual talents are discovered and developed through the Orchestra, Band, Glee Clubs, Piano, Voice, Organ, Harmony and Music Appreciation classes. The Opera, Sweethearts, was the outstanding production of the year, in which the Orchestra, Glee Clubs and Voice classes participated. Although much of the first semester was devoted to the Opera, students of music were also very active in school entertainments and civic programs during the year. Nearly all the branches of the Music Depart- ment were represented in a program given for the Women ' s Club, which featured original compositions by students of the Harmony classes. Aside from the work of the larger organizations, many talented individuals appeared in student assemblies, before School Parent-Teacher Association meetings and on programs for the many clubs throughout the school. Among the music programs given in weekly assemblies perhaps the Messiah, by Handel, sung by the Junior College Glee Clubs at Christmas, was one of the finest. I (wing to the invcssin of curtailing expenses, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra .lid not appear in Santa Monica this year as in previous years, but concerts were given in Los Angeles with greatly reduced prices for school students. Interested pupils have taken advantage of the broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera House of New York and symphonic broadcasts of the New York Philharmonic Society, which were given over the radio in the Recital Hall. SWEETHEARTS Early in November Santa Monica became very romantic. Nearly every car had Sweethearts in front, Sweethearts behind, or both. The casual observer was re- lieved to learn, however, that they were merely advertising Victor Herbert ' s Comic Opera of that name, which was presented on November 9th, 10th and 11th by the Glee Clubs and Orchestra of Santa Monica High School, under the direction of Herbert G. Bickel. The setting of Sweethearts is in Bruges, Belgium, and the plot revolves about the fortunes and misfortunes of Sylvia, the princess of the mythical kingdom of Zilania. Alter being spirited away from the palace because of political intrigue, Sylvia is found and cared tor by Dame Paula, a laundress, who has six beautiful daughters of her own. The laundry courtyard forms an effective scene for Act I, where the old walls frequentl) ring with the merry laughter and songs of the Belgian girls and their sol- dier admirers. ACT I. SWEETHEARTS The second act is laid in the Royal Hunting Lodge of Zilania. Sylvia, who up to this time has been considered a real daughter of Dame Paula is presented _ the fiancee of Fran , heir presumptive to the throne. She is finally identified as the lost princess, and the two lovers decide to share the throne equally Liane, a vivacious flirt and a source of trouble to Sylvia, marr.es the heroines rejected suitoi Karl, and thev all live happily ever after. . The role of Sylvia was charmingly played by Eleanor Brovvnell, a dramatic so- prano of great ability. Her rich voice is singularly mature for one so young and shows great promise. Esthe rCornejo played the part of Liane and her fascinating face together with her graceful movements, was no less captivating than her clear, s p no voice. The prince of Zilania was played by Robert Foulkes. By his portrayal of Franz he adds to his former laurel, Salvador Mireles, a handsome tenor of Span ish descent, was ideally cast in the role of Karl, a dashing military officer The part of Mikel, a politician, played by David Pierson, was cleverly worked out and I highly entertaining. Mary Virginia Scragg acted the part of Dame Paula in anable manner. Her daughters, Eloise Kline, Tune Harrison, Florence Block, Florence Wheeler Ueo- be lie Lock e and Grace Deimarse, were clever, charming and decorative. J.mmie G ffith as Slingsby, the typical Englishman, proved himself to be a born comedy. In fact he seemed to enjoy his role almost as much as did the audie c .VnT ro , i the blustering German, by Royal Stanton, and Alan Cambe as C amc he, t he 1 Sissy, also gave outstanding performance, Due to sudden .llness of Mr Stanton, A Toenies carried his part in the matinee performance. The peasant girls and boys the soldier;, the laundresses, and the ballet gave the cast excellent support and provided minv choruses in a very pleasing manner. . Other departments con tributed to the success of the Opera.

She has outstanding musicianship and an intelligent flair for interpretation of vocal literature. Sally Hamilton, the official school organist, plays both the organ and piano, and is an excellent accompanist on either instrument. She has played the organ during many assemblies and other school programs.

She also plays the piano and appeared as soloist in one of the meetings of the Piano Club. HARMONY The Harmony classes for beginners and advanced students, under the supervision of Doris Moon, emphasizes creative work leading up to original composition. A surprising number of Samohi graduates, who were once pupils in these harmony classes and received their first encouragement and inspiration there have continued their work in this field. Among these should be mentioned Robert Stringer, who has just completed a symphonic poem for orchestra ; rem Kuckner. Clara Spelman Nado Shutt, Kenneth Darby and Roy Ringwald. The harmony classes of this year have been represented on many programs with original composi- tions by student composers. PIANO The piano class work in Samohi has functioned this year in several directions. Many students have shown sufficient progress to appear on programs for the Piano Club. ' Several have done such consistently fine work that their services have been used in other activities in the High School and in outside programs. 1 lie Piano classes are under the direction of Miss Cronkhite. ORGAN Samohi ' s pipe organ has been used regularly in the weekly assemblies. The two organ classes of enthusiastic students who meet daily with Miss Malsfaey are an indication that members of Santa Monica High School appreciate the oppor- tunity to study on this instrument, which equipment is unique among high schools in California. PAGE 79 GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB MR. HIC ' KF.I. GLEE CLUBSlhe Girls ' and Boys ' Glee Clubs comprise students who enjoy and appreciate par- ticipation in choral music, therefore music of the high- est standard of excellency has been sung by them in all appearances. Some of the songs sung by the Boys ' Glee Club were: Song of Fellowship, by Gaul, Lullaby by Brahms, The Long Day Closes by Sullivan, and Send Out Thy Light by Gounod. Among the favorites of the Girls ' Glee Club were: Capri by Basset, Babylon by Clokey, Beauteous Moon by Germain, and Hindoo Song by Bemberg. The Mixed Chorus, or the combined Glee Clubs, also sang Inflammatus by Rossini, The Miller ' s Woo- ing by Failing, and Beautiful Savior by Christian- sen. Herbert Bickel, director of voice, has recognized his opportunities to develop the very fine talent that came under his instruction and has done his best to cultivate a love for music and an intelligent interpretation of carefully chosen selections. As a small token of their appreciation of his work as director of Sweethearts, the cast presented a baton to him. When the Opera became a thing of the past, the organizations turned their atten- tion to choral music, appearing Inst in two very inspiring numbers at the February Commencement. Later both Glee Clubs were presented in assemblies at Lincoln and fohn Adams funior High Schools, and the Mixed Chorus sang in a program for Public Schools Week. The Glee Clubs also carried on the annual custom of singing Christmas carols through the halls of the High School and the Junior College, one of the most beau- tiful traditions of our institution. In addition to the numerous activities of the Glee Club s and Mixed Chorus, the Girls ' Triple Trio, composed of Eloise Kline, Eleanor Brownell, Esther Burden, Carlotta Rogers, Betty Haley, Dora Johnson, Eleanor Evans, Beatrice Suanson and Isabel I ' Iceland, with Betty Hamilton as accompanist, have aided in main programs; as has the Male Quartette of Dick Weaver, Robert Foulkes, Alan Campbell and Royal Stanton, with George Wittenberg as accompanist. Miss Malsfaey, teacher of organ, is the accompanist for the Clubs. PAGE 80 BOYS ' GLEE CLUB On May 19th, through the waving of a magic wand, the members of the Glee Clubs and voice classes miraculously changed from uniformed high school students to lively senoritas and dashing cabal- leros of Salamanca, the national university of Spain, and with their gay students ' song, Estudiantina, they opened the memorable Fiesta Program of 1933. They also serenaded the queen and accompanied groups of dancers in a colorful number. The Tri- ple Trio of Girls added to the festivities by singing Carmena. ■ Cooperation has been the motto of the Glee Clubs as they are always ready to assist in any type of program which is presented in the school. They appeared before various Parent-Teacher Associations in the city and before the Samohi Alumni Associa- tion on June 8. Through the willingness to work with other organizations for programs, class-room activities have been varied as to material studied, and individual students received op- portunity to develop dramatic and terpsichorean talents. High School Glee Club members have been the interested guests in a number of programs presented by the Junior College Glee Clubs and ensmble groups, especially the Male Quartette; and are looking forward to participation in Junior College music activities in the future. The Music Department of the Santa Monica Schools prepared a very interesting exhibit of the work which is done in music from the Kindergarten to the Junior Col- lege. This was sent to the California Section of Music Supervisors National Con- ference, where it received much favorable comment and brought further national recognition to school music in Santa Monica. This exhibit was also opened to citizens of Santa Monica in the Women ' s Club, where various music organizations presented a program during the afternoon of the exhibit. MISS MALSFAEV ORCHESTRA MRS. GIAMPAOLO Br )ks Giampaolo, has been very favorablj ceived on various occasions during the ; notably in Sweethearts, at the Women ' s Club, during the school plays, at the Christmas Party, aui at the Commencements of June and Febru- ary. The String Ensemble has provided atmos- pheric music at the faculty reception for Dr. Davis, and the reception at the opening of the ( New Gymnasium, and for numerous Parent- Teacher Association programs. The String Trio, J f ' . consisting of Nesta Williams, June Greenleaf Ht I fl| and Sally Hamilton, has played at club meetings and many other gatherings in the High School. Mrs. Giampaolo deserves much credit for her work, not only for the outstanding perform- ances of the groups under her supervision, but for the happy atmosphere she creates among her students. It is also interesting to note that she rearranges most of the music for the orchestra because of incomplete instru- mentation. Valse Triste, by Sibelius, Bayaderes, from the Babylon Suite, by Elie; and Aragonaise, from the Carmen Suite, by Bizet, were among the numbers played by the Or estra this year. THE BAND directed by Jack Sanderson Joyce, is one of the most spirited organizations of the school. It has played in many rallies and assem- blies and given excellent support to the football and basketball teams, provided a complete program for a Boys ' League Assembly and another concert at both Lincoln and John Adams Junior High Schools. The Band has also presented a series of noon con- certs which were very popular among students. During the spring the forty-two students of this organization devoted all their efforts toward a pro- gram which was given by the massed bands of the Bay Cities, during Music Week at the Long Beach Auditorium. Aside from the activities of the Band as a whole, the Saxaphone Quartette, the Clarinet Quartette and the Brass Quartette have participated in programs among which the Assembly at Lincoln Junior High School and a program for the Boy Scout Banquet were outstanding. The band in- cludes in its unusually large repertoire many marches, university songs and light opera numbers. DEBATE On the whole, the year has been a successful one. Numbers are still lacking. But ir maj be truthfully saul that the limited group that are following debate are deriving verj great benefit from it. The research wank in connection with the questions of debate has been a liberal education in economics, history and poli- ties, to those who have participated in it. It is to be hoped that an ever-increasing group will come to real- ize the source of personal benefit that debate may be to them. There is no doubt also that a deeper inter- est and a more wholehearted support of debate by the student body would aid materially in promoting this activity in the school. We have won our share of victories and suffered HENRI NEWHOI si: our share of defeats. The year came to a fitting cli- max in the Redlands University tournament. While we did not take the cup, which prize was captured by San Bernardino, still the show- ing made was verj creditable. One of our teams debated in the semi-finals, leaving onlj San Bernardino and Los Angeles High to fight it out in the finals for the cham- pionship. To evaluate the achievement of Samohi, it is only necessary to recognize the high class ot the teams in the tournament, as well as the fact that our team won ion from the same Los Angeles team that competed in the finals. We look forward to another successful year. — Henry Nevvhouse. I his year, as in other years, the debate team has been molded from inexperienced debaters. Only two debaters, William McElroy and Elliot Pine, returned from last year ' s team. Nevertheless, we were fortunate in gaining a total of 10 points for the debate season. This number placed us third in the Bay League standing. This fine showing was probably due to the guidance of Mr. Newhouse, the debate coach, whose aid was not only absolutely essential, but also truly beneficial. Without his help it would have been impossible for the debaters to do as well as they did. The debate i lass that had been formed in 1931 was also a great aid as many things could be ex- plained in tlie class discussions. The pictures above are of six of this year ' s debaters. They are: La Marr Mor- rissey, Henry Shuette, Leslie Stockton, William McElroy and Joseph Graves. Henry Shuette debated in the first two debates, as did La Marr Morrissey and Leslie Stock- ton. William McElroy, Bruce Sterns and Joseph Graves took part in the third and last debate of the season. Elliot Pine, of last year ' s debate squad, David Gindoff and Jack Bidwell completed the debate team. Unfortunately six of the above nine debaters will he lost to Samohi through graduation. However, Elliot Pine, Jack Bidwell and Bruce Sterns will form a nucleus around which a strong debate team can be built next year. FIRST BAY LEAGUE The chosen question for this debate was, Re- solved, that Congress should enact uniform divorce laws in the United States, consti- tutionality waived. Due to complaints from several schools in the Bay League, this question was changed. Resolved, that Capital Punishment should be abolished was the question debated. As this was the first debate of the year, tryout speeches had to be given with the result that Henry Schuette and David Gindott were chosen as the affirmative team and Leslie Stockton and La Marr Morrissey as the negative team On November 16, the negative team journeyed to Woodrow Wilson and was debated before the Student Body. They returned to Samohi with three points towards a Bay League Championship, having won by a two to one affirmative debated Huntington Park the Bay League Champion, before our own senior assembly. Only after a hard fiaht ' Samohi was defeated by a decision of three to nothing. The decision, however, was hardly characteristic of the respective merits of the two teams. SECOND LEAGUE The topic chosen for the second debate of the year was not only unique, but also very interesting and it was a subject with which everyone will be concerned. It was, Resolved, that there is more to tear than to hope for from the further development of the machine. On the affirmative side of the question, La Marr Morrissey and Leslie Stockton were again chosen to represent Samohi as a team while Henry Schuette was teamed with Elliot Pine, one of last year ' s debaters, to represent the negative. This debate took place on February 25. The negative team went to Redondo where they won easily by a three to nothing decision. By this debate Samohi earned four more points towards a Bay League Debate Championship, with a total of seven points, for the season thus far. The affirmative team lost by a like score, three to nothing, when they debated San Pedro before the fifth period classes. Probably the least said, the better, concerning this debate. THIRD LEAGUE On May 7, 1933, our negative team, composed of Tack Bidwell and Bruce Stern, journeyed to South Gate to debate Huntington Park. This was due to the fact that the Huntington Park Auditorium was completely de- molished by the Long Beach earthquake. The question was: Resolved, that war, except in cases of invasion or internal rebellion, should be declared by direct vote of the people. Although their case was very strong, they lost after a hard fight by a decision of two to one. . Our affirmative team debated Woodrow Wilson in one of the classrooms, as our auditorium was condemned, due to the Long Beach quake. Joe Graves and William McElroy turned the tables on their Wilson opponents, winning their debate by a like decision in our favor of two to one. PAGE 85 GRAVES MANAUGH MORRISSEV PINE SAMOHI-VENICE The question for this debate was Resolved, that the I nited States should join the World Court. This debate was not a Bay League Debate and it counted nothing in regard to Bay League points. On January 19, our negative train, composed of William McElroy and James Worsham, journeyed to Venice and debated before the Venice Student Body. Unfortunately Samohi lost by a three to nothing decision due chiefly to the delivery of their opponents. These same teams met later, however, before the People ' s Forum in Santa Monica and Samohi evened the score, defeating their Venice opponents by one vote. Due to the fact that Venice was unprepared on the negative side of the question, our strong affirmative team, composed of Joseph Graves and David Gindoff, were unable to debate our former traditional rivals. Later, however, Beverly Hills also met these two teams in non-decision debates. REDLANDS What the Southern California Track Meet, playoffs for the Southern California Basketball, Baseball and Tennis Championships are to the field of sport, the Redlands Tournament is to the art of debating. Representatives are sent from various schools of Southern California to Redlands. Last year only one team was sent from Samohi, while Los Angeles sent two teams, thus doubling its chances of winning, or at least placing high. Nevertheless the result was very gratifying, as our team placed second to Los Angeles High. Our debaters entered the tournament this year with a reputation to uphold. Every team is given four qualifying debates and the results of the first are not known until the fourth has been completed; thus every team debates at least four times. When the results of these debates were read, only three teams were found to be undefeated: Bakersfield, Santa Monica and San Bernardino. As two debates had tu he Inst before the team was disqualified, this did not mean that these were the only teams who would enter the finals. So to Joe Graves and William McElroy was left the task of defeating the schools not yet eliminated, as Henn Schuette and Elliot Pine were defeated in their first two debates. In the fifth round of debate, Samohi debated Bakersfield, which the Samohi de- baters easily won. The next two debates were much harder as the competition was keener, there being only six teams with less than two defeats. Unfortunately, Samohi lost these two debates and when the final results were given the Samohi debaters were in third place. Joseph Graves and William McElroy should be highly commended for their wonderful showing in this tournament. These debates took place on Friday and Saturday of the 12th ami 13th of May. This completed debating for this year. TREES I think that I shall never see A oem lovely as a tree. We do not appreciate the marvelous trees that we have here on the coast, until we travel to some unfortunate, barren region that is not blessed by trees. If we have ever lived in a locality that is devoid of any vegetation that is worthy of the name trees, we can more easily realize how wonderful trees are and what they can mean to us. Here on the coast we have trees of all kinds, sizes, shapes, and ages. California has many groves of the largest and oldest living things on earth : the Sequoia Semper- virens and the Sequoia Gigantea. One of the wonders of nature is that these largest of trees should grow from one of the smallest of seeds. As we pass through a grove of these giants, our breath is taken from us by their size and grandeur. We are especially impressed by the straightness and uniformity of their enormous trunks and by the lofty heights to which their topmost branches reach. Besides these giant trees, there grows on our coast a number of varieties of evergreen trees that, though being of a fairly large size, can not compare with the Sequoias, except perhaps in the straightness of their trunks. Our government has realized the scenic importance as well as the commercial value of these forests and has taken steps to set them aside as National Forests; or, if they are of especial scenic beauty, or if the area embraced by the forests contains some other natural wonders, as National Parks or National Monuments. It is almost uncanny what a person who has made a study of trees can tell by examining the cross-section of a tree. He can tell the history of the district in which the tree grew. Periods of drouth and periods of plenty can be discovered. The age of the tree and even the year that a fire may have burned part of the tree can be determined by the number of rings and their placement. Trees can be very beneficial to man. A large growth of timber will help develop the water resources of a district by preventing the rains from rushing down the hills in torrents that are likely to remove much of the fertile top soil. Wood is, today, used in nearly every industry. Modern civilization would be at a standstill if all products that are derived from trees were to be removed from our use. There is nothing that will so quickly fill one with a feeling of gloom as to see what was once a beautiful, green forest, but which has since been devastated by fire. Imagine a large area covered by the gaunt, grey skeletons of what was once a great forest. Trees were seemingly made for man ' s benefit. He is sheltered, fed, and warmed by the trees. If we were to take the time to notice the gallant struggle made by a tree against odds placed upon it by man ' s carelessness and by nature, we would be encouraged to tighten our belts and have another try at our own comparatively insig- nificant problems. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. — Don Sandmeyer. E MISS I ' .R TT To read good books understanding!} and to find in them real pleasure, real friends and real inspiration, may be considered the ultimate aims for the student of English. To read under- standingly, however, one must endeavor to make the thoughts of others his own, not only by inter- pretation but also by imitation. Seniors this year have found a real pleasure and a new literary adventure in the reading of many informal essays. In the discovery that the small details of life hold excellent material for experienced writers, they have also found an in- centive for the writing of essays in miniature. — Favola A. Bratton. TREES A tree is the loveliest plant in the world. It has inspired a great number of artists to paint its beauty and character, and authors to sing and write about it. I love the trees, and I like to dwell near them. The songs they make, the shade they give, and the natural views they represent are comforts and inspirations to me. From them I can feel the love of Mother Nature, and through them I can readily see her lovely face. The tree is the best companion of the little river. Like two little children they play and sing together, a song that brings joy to other creatures, a song that has a melodious tone that rocks them to sleep. The mountain, too, finds a great joy in them. It takes the tree as the beauty of its soul and the little river that reflects it. The birds find life and happiness in the tree. They dance and sing in its branches. They build their nests on it and listen to the song of its leaves and imitate it. One afternoon when I came home from school I found a letter lying on my table. It came from the Bank of California. In the upper left hand corner of the letter was a small tree. Take care, said the legend, of the tree you have planted, for it is your future wealth. Its growth depends upon the amount of effort you put in it, and its fruits depend upon the amount of nourishment it receives. From the Little Rivers of Henry Van Dyke, The murmuring pines and hem- locks in Longfellow ' s Evangeline, to the Loveliest of all Trees by Houseman, I take great pleasure and joy. I read and re-read The Americanization of Edward Bok. I admire his rich experiences and services to humanity, but nothing has im- pressed me more than his short description of an island in the beginning of the book: Artists began to hear of the place and brought their canvases, and on the walls of hundreds of homes throughout the world hang today bits of the beautiful lanes and wooded spots of ' The Island of Nightingale. ' The life of a tree, like that of a human being, consists in the union of soul and body, the tree and its roots. The tree is known by its fruits. — Victor Subola. NATURE ' S LANGUAGES Language is defined not only as verbal expression but expression ot thought or feeling in any way. How else do we express our thoughts and feelings besides by the use of words? ' Aren ' t the most beautiful thoughts in the world conveyed through the use of music and art? Where do we hear the most impressive sounds and see the most beautiful art? In nature, of course! Nature has means of conveying ideas, moods, and feelings to us as surely as do the words with which we understand the feelings and thoughts of the people with whom we come into contact. Sounds in nature convey ideas that have an effect upon our frame ot mind. hat do the singing birds say to us? What exquisite sounds come from their tiny throats to brighten up the world! And the babling brooks, splashing joyously over rocks and pebbles, have their effect. Laughing brooks! That is what they are. Certainly there is an expression of feeling in these sounds, the expression of the joy of living. And then there is the sound of the surf at low tide, the quiet lapping of the waves upon the wide expanse of smooth sand, seeming even to smooth the jagged edges ot the rocks out in the sea. There is the quiet evening breeze that, as night comes on, develops into the wind sighing in the treetops. Quiet streams murmur as they lo!ter along their way to bigger streams. There is the sleepy twitter or birds in the trees and the soft lowing of cattle. Then there is the soft patter of ram. What do all these sounds tell us? How are we affected? Isn ' t that a feeling ot peace and con- tentment that is stealing over us? It has been said that the only sounds on the desert are daybreak and nightfall. Here on the vast desert the entire absence ot sound leaves the lasting impression of quiet, of rest. ■ , ■ n Now what feelings are conveyed to us as we listen to the wind rise steadily, swaying the trees; to the rolling billows which now turn into roaring, thrashing waves; to the rain as it pours down, drenching the world; to the thundering water- falls and the uncontrolled waters of the rushing rivers; and now to them all as the storm breaks in all its violence? These sounds that tell us the strength and force ot nature fill us with awe, if not with a feeling of unrest, of turbulence We now see that Nature speaks to us through sound, as we speak to each other. But what about art? We express ourselves by painting. Do we find paintings in nature ' What about the heavens over the desert just as sunset. 11 he sun with all its dazzling brightness dissapears, leaving in the west a semi-circle ot brilliant orange- gold which fades into pink higher in the heavens. From a pink to a delicate orchid, then to lavender, then purple, which fades until directly overhead the sky is almost blue As our eyes rove from above towards the east, the blue turns to gray which becomes dusky, then becomes darker and blacker as night steals into the heavens. Was there ever a more beautiful painting, containing all the colors ot the spectrum . 1 he wonder and magic of light is thus revealed to us. But the suddenness of the snuffing out of light that is revealed when the sun, a great golden ball, sinks through the mist swiftly into the ocean! And the mountain unset where the slow sinking of the sun behind the mountain is followed by a dusky restful twilight! What a difference in the ideas and feelings that are conveyed to us. What other scenes are painted in nature? The grassy plains give us the idea ot smooth sailing for a time. Jagged cliffs show us the bumps and cruelties ot lite. 1 he grandeur of mountains has a different effect. Mountains otter high places to climb, and our desire to explore and ascend urges us to go higher and higher in search for new truths. I believe we know now that nature has languages, enough languages to express every feeling of the human heart, by some sound or scene. If we but listen a little more closely to what Nature has to say, perhaps we may see the divine purpose ot r „ — Donna i horpe. our Creator. PAGE 89 JOCKO . sultry equatorial sun rose behind a frowning forest which had seen the rising hi tin-- sun for hundreds of years. Always it rose the same, to throw its withering rays down upon the weather-beaten limbs. As the trees had watched the rising of the sun, so had thej watched the growing of the animals from babyhood to surly matur- ity, and hail watched them fight for existence, to eat and be eaten. The larger and Stronger they were, the more sure were thej oi existence until they became old and toothless. Then they would go away to some secluded spot to live the rest of their days m loneliness, eating those things that are most easily caught. As the sun rose higher, the myriad lite of the jungle buzzed with animation. The birds added gor- geous color to the green background of the trees. Down on the rotting vegetation proudly stalked a dignified lion. Then, as if the noises got on his nerves, he bellowed forth a terrible roar. Everything became quiet, and the lion, seeming to flatter himself on his accomplishment, stalked off to be swallowed up by the green foliage of the undergrowth. At the terrible roar, a tiny monkey hugged a tinier fur ball more closely to her breast, and showed evident fear. She sat in the crotch of a giant oak, hugging the fur ball long after the rest of the jungle had again started their interrupted chatters and squalls. Cautiously she peaked over the jutting limb, and stared long and hard at the ground. Satisfying herself that there was no longer any danger, she climbed slowly out of her hiding. Not long ago she had lost one of her babies when it had lost its clutch on her long hair as she was fleeing along the ground from an infuriated black panther. The panther had greedily gulped down the small, squirming thing. Now she protected her last one with almost human care. Constant fear was born into her race, but, after losing one of her offspring, she feared even more the dark jungle and all its terrors. All day she sat upon the same limb, taking the fruit and berries from her mate, who readily returned for more after she had consumed the ones he had brought. Little Jocko suckled contentedly at his mother ' s breast. He was a wee mite of a monkey, but he was old enough to put up protests at meal time, which was about ten times a day for Jocko. Today for the first time he had opened his eyes to the bright world, and he was dazzled at the brilliance of life itself. He even ventured to look over the hairy arm of his mother, to peer down at the four-footed animals on the ground far below. Jocko did not know the meaning of space, but something made him clutch more tightly to his mother ' s long hair as he stared down at the vast jungle floor. As Jocko grew, so grew his learning. He was taught the good things to eat, and warned against the poisonous ones. He was taught to estimate distance, for a correct judgment of distance oft times saves the lives of these little people of the jungle. Then he was carefully taught the great lesson, the lesson of fear, which dominates the mon- key race — to run at every sound and never to st ay on the ground any longer than necessary, and always to stay in the safety of the trees. When Jocko was but three months old, he could do things almost as well as some of his older brothers and sis- ters. Many were the ones older than he that he could beat to the highest pinnacle of a forest giant. Indeed, Jocko thought he was a super monkey. It was with this feeling that he ventured down upon the ground. He did not run as all the rest scampered to the tree-tops when a twig cracked. He only marveled at his own bravado for not running. He had done it many times before, and nothing had happened. Today, he kept eating the small red berries, which made a delicious taste in his mouth. Then as he turned, he was paralyzed with fear, for standing not over fifty feet away was a towering hyena that seemed to laugh at his predicament. As the hyena charged, a sound rang out, a sound the like of which Jocko had never heard before. It was the sound of all the thunder in the heavens combined into one short-lived report. Jocko stood as if transformed into stone until a big hand, a smooth white hand, grasped him by the scruff. He looked into the face of what looked to him to be a giant hairless ape. Jocko fought ferociously with all his little might, but was rewarded by a sharp rap across the wither. s Overhead, the monkey population scolded the big enemy, but none dared venture to rescue Jocko — not even the trembling moth- er. Jocko was promptly put into a cage with another one of his older brothers and placed on the back of another ape thing, and then slowly taken away from his old haunts. Gradually the chatter of his tribe died out until he heard no more. Then he slumped to the bottom of the cage, a sad and disheartened little figure. Overhead in the high terrace of the jungle, a forlorn, silent figure swung disconsolately from limb to limb, uttering heart-breaking sobs — Jocko ' s mother. When the sun went down be- hind the hills, Jocko was far from his native haunts. Many times during the day had he raged at the netting that held him in. He even succeeded in bending it with his tiny teeth, but it was always the same. He would go back and lie down on the floor to sob out his sad story to himself. The next day dawned. He longed for his mother. She, also, longed for him. She had at last given up hope of rescuing him. The men who had caught him were two burly Swedes and a following of about twenty black servants. They were touring Africa, trapping wild animals for the New York Zoo. They seemed to enjoy watching Jocko, as he needlessly raged at the bar- rier that held him. They would laugh uproariously and then strike at the cake, and instinctively Jocko would cower down in fear. The sun had risen and set thirty times, when suddenly there broke upon their view a vast expanse of blue the like of which Jocko had never seen in all his short life. It moved as if it were alive, and there issued from it monstrous roars. Today, as the men rested on the sand, one of them suddenly rose, with a sly look and a wink at the other. He opened Jocko ' s cage, seized him by the scruff, fastened something around his neck, and put him on the ground. Ah, at last he was set free! He started to run, but was suddenly jecked so hard upon his back that it knocked the breath from him. The men roared with delight. Jocko bit at the long hard thing that held him, but it only availed him the hearty laughs of the men. They would permit him to get half way up a tree, and then jerk him down with a thud to the ground, and then laugh. Jocko soon realized escape impossible, and sat on the ground, sulky. The men soon tired of their fun, and placed him back in the cage. It was four days later that Jocko saw many men things moving about. Most of them were black. Jocko cowered down in his cage, for he feared the hateful men. Small children gathered around the cage. One of their great delights was to punch Jocko with sticks until he was in a rage. For one whole week Jocko endured the torment; then he was placed on a large boat. They put his cage down in a dark hole, where he stayed for about two weeks. Every day a black man came down to feed him. Jocko ate very little, but dreamed of his jungle home very much. Then one day his cage was seized and carried to the light above. Now, indeed, was Jocko afraid, for hundreds of white men milled about. Some rode in noisy auto- mobiles and trains. Whistles blew. Great clouds of smoke drifted about. There were very few trees. Today Jocko was in great fear, and he longed for his home all the more. He was soon placed in a truck with a tiger, a panther, two armadillos and another monkey. They bumped along for an endlessly long time, when suddenly the truck stopped. Jocko ' s cage was removed fro mthe car and then taken to a large cage, where many of his kind of people were. He was promptly turned loose with them. Rut he found later that he was not in the forest again, but in a cage, a larger cage, but still he felt in a cramped position. Somehow these monkey folk were not like his own people. All of them left him strictly alone except Bobo, a young, rather large, PAGE 91 male monkey. He would tease Jocko daj in and day out. He would nip him, pull his tail, and scratch viciously. Again Jocko ' s life was a living torment. ( m- daj a man came looking into the cage. Just then Bobo came up and began his usual torment. The man showed that he did not like Bobo ' s conduct, but soon left. Not long afterward, he returned with another man. They talked of something, monej passed between them, and Jocko was caught and placed in a small cage. He was sunn in a ear again. But somehow Jocko felt more at ease. Coming to a large dwelling, the ear stopped, and Jocko was taken into the house. Inside was a small boy and a woman. The boy jumped up and down with glee, while the woman smiled. Each day the man gave him tempting tidbits, until Jocko gradually began changing. No longer did he rage when the man came near. Somehow Jocko liked the way the man talked to him. He was different. One day he was taken from his cage and placed on the man ' s arm. He did not bite the hand as he usually tried to do, but sat there bewildered. Then he climbed to the man ' s shoulder. The boy laughed at Jocko ' s antics. Then began Jocko ' s first love. He gradually loved the man more and more. He was not at liberty about the house, both on the outside and in. The man bought a small red house in which Jocko slept. He still thought of his jungle home, but less often and less longingly. Sometimes, when his mind dwelled upon the subject, he would sit morose and silent. Many times when he was in this mood, the man would gently stroke his head and say something in a pitying voice. Then one day, after an unusually sad spell, a man came to the house. The boy and his father hugged Jocko and put him into the small cage again. Jocko ' s heart turned cold when he saw that his master was not going, too. He was almost as sad at this parting as he had been when he left the jungle. Again he was in a car. Again he was placed in the dark hold of a ship. Again he stayed in this place several weeks. When he emerged, he was delighted at what he saw — the jungle, his delightful jungle. He was taken to the edge and turned free. Quickly he scampered up the bole of a tree. When he had reached the highest pinnacle, he turned and looked west- ward. It might not have been his beloved master he was thinking of, but Jocko uttered a touching sound like a sob, as the green foliage of the forest swallowed him up. — Norman M. Cassady. COURTESY There is a widely held, but certainly incorrect impression, that courtesy or polite- ness is but a cloak, a garment that may be worn or cast aside at will, something we may employ upon one occasion and entirely ignore upon another. Nothing could be further from the truth ; courtesy is an inherent quality, and, once acquired, it becomes almost as impossible to lose as the shadow we cast upon the ground. There are persons, however, that delight in their lack of polish and amenity. They thoroughly enjoy displaying a want of regard for the people with whom they come into contact. At first this appears to arise from a feeling of superiority, as if this individual knew and appreciated the true value his caliber and personality lend to any gathering, regardless of its magnitude or munificence. On the contrary, this feeling does not arise from any natural or supposed excellence, but, rather, from a sense of inferiority, for the individual is merely concealing his deficiencies by bluster or abruptness. We all know that the peoples of other nations, especially those of Europe, have the reputation of being much more advanced in genuine and habitual courtliness than PAGE 92 we. Yet the reason for this is not that we are naturally more awkward or uncivil than they, hut that their rules of conduct have Ions since crystallized and the) con form to them naturally, if not without ceremony. We, on the other hand, have some- what neglected to acquire these formulated rules of behavior more hy a lack of pre- cedent than by any intrinsic want of respect, esteem or good-will. And as we become more advanced, attain higher levels of thought and achieve more traditions, we will embody more of the culture and polish of other peoples. I nlike many things in life, courtesy may be mastered. Some of us find it simple, others difficult, to gain a certain amount of gentility and decorum in custom and character. Even after these admirable traits are gained, it is often hard to recognize them in an individual. For instance, a person, quiet hy nature, may be thought sullen or morose, when, as a matter of fact, his mind is occupied with other matters. There is also the danger of one ' s overdoing urbanity in mannerisms or speech and becoming effusive or affected, sometimes to the point of unction. It can be said that most people comply to all that is becoming and propitious in the intercourse of society, and almost everyone, to the best of his ability, regards the emotions and sensibilities of others as being of paramount importance. And we know that civility is to show no contempt nor slighting of anyone, whether by conversation, writing, or action. True politeness is welcome in every household ; it transmutes aliens into trusting friends, and gives its owner a passport ' round the globe. — Laurance Tileston. TREES I like trees. To me they are a symbol of life, and of many kinds of people. Without them, the world would lose much of its beauty. Along with their beauty, the absence of trees would be a great loss to the world. They furnish mankind with firewood, lumber, fruit and shade. The stately eucalyptus tree, the ambitious redwood, the study and majestic Italian cypress all remind me of a person who is ever trying to reach an upward goal, strug- gling never to drop down even one step. The aspen tree presents another type of person in its shimmering glory, reminding one of an optimistic person. It gladdens one ' s thoughts to watch its dancing leaves as they seem as carefree as the twinkling spangles on a dancer ' s skirt. The weeping willow is another type of life. It seems to symbolize sadness and a wearniness of spirit. Like many people, it looks down, never up, and so misses the beauty that goes on around it. Yet we love it for its beauty, and our hearts go out to it in its apparent loneliness and dejection. The pepper tree is a good example of some kinds of friends. It deceives us with its lacy leaves and pleasant appearance. However, when we look underneath this camouflage of a nice personality, we find that it has no definite goal. Its branches wander in all directions, weaving and winding, occasionally forking off in various ways. The pepper tree seems to follow the crooked path of life, endeavoring to monopolize the territory that some other living thing may want. Some day when you have nothing else to do, just think over some of the friends or people you know and compare them with trees. It is really surprising how the personality of trees will resemble so closely the lives and personalities of people you know or have known. — Marjorie Biggs. PACE 93 S 1 ) I ' nihil; the hen oi mid summer days, 1 love to take mj ease and bask on the soothing warmth oi the beach sands. Here I dream away the hours, royally meditat- ing on the oddities oi life. As 1 lie there absently playing with tin- multitudinous grains oi sand I can hold in one hand, 1 drift along on the wings of fancy and wishes. As is so often uppermost in the minds of mere mortals, the most outstanding, recurring thought is centered on and reduced down to one word — one simple word, a word that is expressive oi the greatest physical objective of mankind. It has a colossal, far- reaching effect on the world oi man. This tremendous little word is power. Here m thoughts become cognizant of parallels, main parallels. Money is the nearest thing tn powei in the synonyms of the human mind. It is wealth that gives us tin ' power to bend others to our will, to have every wish and whim granted. The key- note, — the utmost necessity of power is gold. Gold was found in the streams of the nation, in the sands. I strike another track, — the power of a grain of sand. It was send that gave to man his all-powerful wealth, — and to sand it is many times returned. The proverbial Captain Kidd and many another nefarious procurer of ill-gotten wealth seem to have appreciated the strength of the sand, for more than one of these gentle- men employed the sands as a stronghold for secreting their wealth. I have never heard of anyone ' s possessing an effective argument against this procedure. Now, centuries later, men seek futilelv for sand-guarded treasure — treasure lost but not forgotten. Sand gave wealth, power and even birth to a now prosperous nation. The pio- neering prospectors of early American davs took the nation ' s wealth from the sands. They had to light for it. ves, combating the power of the sands every step of the way. Those tinv. almost invisible particles of clean, hard rock were the nemesis of many a brave nation-builder. Manv are the headstones and many more the unmarked graves to tcstifv on its behalf. The fury of the sandstorm is unconquerable. Puny little man can only wait and pray for deliverance from this unrivaled inferno. The manv deserts of the world are the strongholds of one of the greatest uncontrolled powers of the earth. In these waste places, man makes little or no advancement in his otherwise triumphant march. Though in a few comparatively small cases man has, by irriga- tion and the aid of science, reclaimed and tamed the desert, he must forever be on the watch lest the desert in tur nreclaim its own. A moment ' s forgetfulness — a slip of Hi- whip hand, and he is undone. These conquered areas, however, are small compared to the vast billowing expanse of wind-riffled sands which still hold their own inviolate against the efforts of man. Yet on the surface of these far-flung sand-waves is marked the progress of the caravans of man, and here one learns the true meaning of foot- prints on the sands of time. These records have no span of life. They are — and then thev cease to exist. They are covered — obliterated by the wafting of the sands of time, lost, traceless, forgotten, beyond recall in the vast solitude of the ages, as are the other works of man lost in the eons of the universe. Yes. the trail is lost; but in the disetance I see something else, a thing that has lasted and seems to withstand the siege of time. It is the Sphinx — a mighrv monu- ment to the ages of the Pharohs, a tribute to their power, a mighty work beside a grain of sand. To the layman, it is comoarable to the universe and the earth. Rut look! A closer inspection reveals more clearlv this work of the masters. A strange, incongruous riling attracts our attention. The nose — it is defective, broken. Yes, broken ; and by a grain of sand. The race of man is a merry one, a futile, useless race against Time, who will never miss us. The setting sun brings an end to my reverie as I gaze in awed contemplation of that paradoxically mighty work of God — a solitary grain of sand. — Bill Schon. ve could lame pu ■pose perseverai ce. Of thes« charactei s of the mos LEADERSHIP The qualities of a true leader are many, anions; which ambition, loyalty, self-confidence, courage, tact, initiative and qualities, purpose, ambition and courage are prevalent in tin famous leaders in the world. There are, in the history of every n ation, men and women who are of outstand- ing leadership. They are not merely pioneers and warriors of heroic fame, but through aid to the progress of mankind, in less showy but equally important ways, they have presented themselves to the success of our nations. Their careers for good seldom represent the striking or dramatic. Their histories are not of the coruscating order, and their lineaments and proportions not those usually given to the heroic figure. Yet they are heroes in the most noble sense of the word, doing more for the advancement of mankind than the person who defends his country by physical strength, or helps to extend the borders of his nation ' s dominion. The realms of leadership are broad, and many paths are open to those who tra- verse its confines. There are the highroads of statesmanship, of invention, of scientific research, of benevolent activity, of moral earnestness, and many others, and in all ot these the true leaders dwarf all others. Our history brings to our mental vision many men and women who are true leaders in act and effort, though no banners wave over them and no trumpets herald them on their quiet course. It is what these people are rather than what they do, that makes their characters great and noble. With a valor and self-sacrifice equal or superior to those of the warrior, they lead us to nobler heights and plant the banner of achievement on loftier altitudes than those usually reached by the pathway ot the sword - -Marjor.e Fuller. TOP SHELVES Top shelves are always interesting. They are not all visible to a person at different periods of his life. To a small child, the goodies on the upper shelves or the cupboard are his top shelves, and his ambition is to grow tall enough to reach them. As he grows older, his desires change. He has new top shelves whose con- tents are his dreams and hopes. These shelves contain the higher things also for which all mankind naturally longs. Each growth in character or social condition means that one has grown tall enough to reach his top shelf at that penod in his Failure sometimes puts the contents of one ' s top shelf out of his reach. He is disappointed, but he is not willing to say, I have failed I am content to admit it. t ' l ' l ' will not try again. His failure is only an experience The broken hopes on the shelf fade and become a memory. New goals are sought, and the top shelf has new contents glistening with the gold of hope that lure him on to reach them. Tin- experience of failure helps one to grow taller and thus to reach his goal. Growth is not in vain. Success comes after striving. The contents ot the top shelves do not always meet with disaster, or lie broken at ones feet. Life is a grow- ing process. By using his opportunities and with determination, man may reach his top shelves and take from them whatever he may desire. -Anna Barbara Klein. fysy ' , CLUBS GROUPS VARIED IN INTERESTS YET WITH A COMMON PURPOSE AND DESIRE MOVING IN UNITY TO AID IN MOULDING A FINER CITY ROBERT V05T CLUBS To become a member of at least one club should be the ambition of every high school student. Mem bership in a club brings opportunities for social coo- tact and service. It increases one ' s circle of friends; it promotes interest in hobbies. If a student can be- come an officer, there is a wonderful opportunitj for developing leadership, poise and experience in parlia- mentary practice. Santa Monica High School is proud of the fact that clubs are formed voluntarily by inter- ested students and sponsored voluntarily h interested ' teachers. A student may get a variety of contacts bv belonging to different clubs at different times, but he should not scatter his interests too widely. Member- | ship in more than two clubs at one time is discouraged rorinson It is hoped that the clubs now active will grow ami prosper and that many more will be added to the list as the years go -by The following clubs are now active: World Friendship Club, Latin Club, Rand- box Club (drama), LetteiWs Club, Piano Club. Honor Scholarship Society Perks Club (Girl Reserves), Dods Club (Home Economics), Van Mem Club, Girls Ath- letic Club, Thumbtack Club (Art ), Vikes Inn Club. Ethel M. Robinson, ice-frinctpal )()I)S CLUB PERKS PIANO CLU1 DODS CLUB The Home Economics Club has an enrollment of thirty-five girls, and was organized under the name Dods. Home Economics has a definite place in American home life; therefore this club is of great value and importance. Through this club the members are enabled to become better acquainted, and obtain a flood foundation for improvement of the home. The meetings are held each month; one a social meeting; one a business meeting. The first activity was a get-acquainted tea, after this the club gained impetus, and everj meeting became a milestone on a road to social success. In February the club carried out the Valentine spirit by a tea for prospective members from the Sophomore class. A splendid food demonstration was given by Miss Rathbone at the Southern Counties Gas Company. The meritorious charity work of the club has been highly commendable. Miss Brenneman, advisor, is deserving of much credit, for her able guidance and assistance. First Semester Second Semester Kathryn Barnes .... President .... Helen Enerson Virginia Prussing . . .

They are a branch of the Y. W. C. A., and hold their meetings in the Y. The aim of the or- ganization is to help in the building of personality and of attitudes in line with social progress. The meetings were held in the form of pot luck suppers, which proved very popular with the girls. At these meetings, the girls have been entertained with music, readings and addresses. The two important social events of the year were the Fathers ' Night banquet, and the Mothers ' and Daughters ' Tea. Dr. Bush, of the Junior College, gave an address at the banquet, and the baseball idea was carried out in the arrangement of the program. The tea was held at the Georgian Apartments, the main feature of the tea being a fashion show. Other entertainment was provided by Dorothy Griffeth, Jane Weber, Helen Beckwith, Evelyne Clemens, Mollie Brown and Marie Arbuckle. Some of the other activities of the club were a Rollerdome party, Christmas Carolling and a Christmas party for needy children, which was held at the Y. Much credit is due Miss Mahurin, head of the Y. W. C. A., and Mrs. Hugh Jones, the advisor. PIANO CLUB organized last year, has continued its work this year with a doubled membership. The chief objective of the club has been to give aspiring pianists a chance to play, and to hear others play. The club has also enjoyed many social acti- vities during the year. The meetings included an extensive study of music from different countries, and also many piano recitals. During the first semester, several interesting piano pro- grams were presented. Outstanding among these was a program of descriptive music. In February, the club enjoyed several original compositions given by Carolyn Raymond ami Donald Stewart, two very talented young artists. In March, the members of the club were guests of the Organ classes, and enjoyed an interesting recital in the auditorium. The largest piano program of the year was held in May, in the Auditorium. It was given with the assistance of the string quartet, and the string and wood-wind ensemble from the orchestra. The year came to a close with a well attended beach party at Los Flores, with Eloise Kline as hostess. Eloise Kline President Eloise Kline Pauline O ' Connor . . . Vice-President . . .

Of those tour, the plaj Halfwaj to Heaven was the most outstanding. The club programs have consisted of manj well known speakers and entertainers. (leotten Morgan, Harold Isbell and Mart Bushnell have been some oi the most prominent. The Senior Speech Class presented one line entei tainment tor the club, which was a rhythmical reading. It was declared to be one oi the most unique and entertaining; programs ever given. Mr. Fred Mitchell, who has contributed to the programs, and helped with make up on several occasions, was voted an honorary member ol tin- club. Mr. Geoffery Morgan, outstanding citizen of Santa Monica, was also voted an honorary member. To climax the year, the Tullis Trophy Cup, presented to the Bandbox bj the Tullis Jewelry Company, was awarded to Royal Stanton tor outstanding dramatic achievements timing the year. As this book goes to press, the club is planning a dinner dance, which is to end a year of unusual activity and achievement. Shirley Belmont .... President .... Shirley Belmont Mary Canon ....

Its purpose is to render usher service for the school. The name, Van Mem, signifies Follow Me ; Van and Mem are the names of the Hebrew letters, F and M, the initial letters of Follow Me. Throughout its history, the club has held to the ideals of service. It has a long record of usefulness in taking care of audiences at the entertainments of all types held in our High School Auditorium. In addition to that, the club has rendered constant, efficient and faithful service in hall duty during assemblies. It has handled the great crowds in the Memorial Open Air Theatre in the Co mmencements of 1931 and 1932. This task was done with such success that it has won the favorable comment of many observers. The club has recently undergone a reorganization, the membership being limited to conform to the service required of the club by the School. A fine morale pervades, and a constructive program for future usefulness is being planned by the club. Robert Bechtel ....

Advisor Fred Mitchell STAGE CREW although working under difficulties, has accomplished a great deal this year. The lack of equipment, and a small personnel did not hinder their progress. Due to the fact that the stage craft class was discontinued this year, the entire responsibility of stage design and construction was left to the stage manager. The electrician, contrary to other years, was in charge of all the lighting effects. However, neither the lighting effects, stage construction, nor design, could have been success- fully accomplished without the cooperation of all the members of the crew. Working on the stage crew involves a great deal of sacrifice and hard work. The crew works almost every night, and usually on Saturday. They are always willing to help, and are glad to be of service to the school. Miss Moon, of the music depart- ment, was the sponsor and gave much time and assistance to the crew. These boys certainly merit the thanks of the entire school, and should be compli- mented on the way they have carried on.

Students carry out anj ideas they ma.3 have which they cannot develop in regular art classes, or, if they are not active in art, they come in contact with local artists and their work through the club programs. The purpose of the club is to bring a better understanding oi what art is into the lives of the students, to bring together students with a common interest. The mem bership may be active or associate. The club takes an active part in all school events, helps in decorations, oilers its services on Blue and Gold Day and during the Fiesta. The club ' s yearly program includes bi-monthly meetings, one a working meeting, the other, a scheduled speaker. I lining the past year. Miss Rhea Featherston talked upon Chinese Silver and Goldsmiths as Artists, and prefaced her talk by saying, a know ledge of art is neces- sarj in selecting a pleasing collection. Miss Tess Razelle, prominent Santa Monica artist, brought her sculptures, emphasizing line movement in dance. A luncheon meeting was held in December at La Golindrina in Olivera Street, the Pasea de I.os Angeles. Afterwards, the members visited shops and had original pencil portraits made. In June the club makes a trip to the Huntington Museum and Art Gallery at San Marino. The last meeting of the year the club is to enjoy a puppet show given by Jean and Phyllis Hopson.

Since the inception of this club three years ago, it has become a more successful organization with each increasing year. At present, seventy members are enrolled. Throughout th year, it has maintained a splendid standard of programs. ( )n three occasions interesting speakers have been obtained. Miss Featherston spoke on Mexico; Mr. Horton, on South America; Mr. John Bickford, who was formerly a missionary to China, told the club about that nation. A program of club talent may also be included in the galaxy. Seventeen members of this club attended the Convention of the California State Federation of High School World Friendship Clubs, held at Hollywood High School. At this convention Robert Bruce Hawley was made student chairman. This will bring the convention here in May 1934.

Under the successful management of Mrs. Homer Milliken, and Mr. Lord, this organization swept through the year to new levels oi success. Through experience in salesmanship the members are enabled to learn mod- ern business methods, and this practical training will serve as a splendid background for obtaining future business positions. This year Helen Enerson demonstrated her competency as student manager. The social calendar included two worthwhile trips. The organization visited the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in January, and the Huntington Library in San Marino in February. The blue intends to carry out an active program of such excursions.

It has had a larger membership than ever before, and through the very active cooperation oi its members and efforts ol the officers and advisors, it has gained additional respect and honor among the various organizations (it Samohi. To be a member oi the Delian Society a student must have a total ol ten scholar- ship points, or eight scholarship plus two extra-curricular activity points. For each A earned the student receives three points, ami for each B, one point. One of the highest honors a student can receive is to he presented with a Cali fomia Scholarship Federation pin, which is given for four or more semesters ol mem bership in the society. l ' ins were presented to Louise Bach, (Catherine Patterson, David Gindoff, Carameda Saporetti, Betty Haley, Ruth Jensen, Anna Barbara Kline, Ray Mahood, Hetty Swearingen, Donna Thorpe.

Throughout the year this organization has followed a program of tremendous activity. Foremost among these was a convention at Pasadena. Many Samohi girls attended and took part in the program and games. The Girls ' Gym Jinks which was held in March, proved an outstanding event. The theme of the Jinks was a cabaret. The guests were in gaily decorated costumes, and there was a snappy floor show, with Frances Stevens as master of ceremonies. Every Friday, the regular classes are dropped, an dsuch activities as bicycling, skating, tumbling, and dancing are engaged in. This organization deserves much credit for the service it has given the school and for the opportunity it presents to the girls. President Sally Hamilton Vice-President Margaret Swearingen Secretary Pearl Carter Advisor Miss Martha Hellner THE LATIN CLUB For the Latin Club the past year has been a pleasant and profitable one. The aim of those in ch arge has been to arrange programs which were simply and easily presented. By planning Latin games, songs and skits, the program chairmen have made it possible for every member to take part in some program. Various groups have put on dialogues, including a dramatization of Little Red Riding Hood, by the Latin II class. Special programs have been offered which were instructive as well as entertaining. In December, the club ' s outstanding social event was in the form of a trip to the Forest Lawn Memorial Park, where the members saw the beautiful stained glass window, The Last Supper, and other works of art and beauty. Two excellent musical programs presented by William Chapman, a club mem- ber, were greatly enjoyed. A program commemorating the 1977 anniversary of the death of Caesar was given in the spring, and proved to be unusually interesting. The program included the taking of the auspices, an invocation to Caesar, and a short biographical sketch, both written and delivered in Latin by the program chairman. The guest speaker was Geoffrey Morgan, who gave the club a picture of Caesar ' s character as portrayed by Shakespeare. As always, Mr. Morgan was intensely interesting. The club has had an active year, and look forward with great anticipation to the coming term. fOHN Armsey President John- Armsby Dick Brown Vice-President Cordon Hiivis Harriet Bone Secretary-Treasurer Barbara Murdoch .. 9idm £UMtem : tlli.ii liK vi.

Two of the three football teams won league chani pionships. The Class B basketball team won a league trophy, and each of the other three basket- ball teams was defeated in the last game and there- by lost a championship. Our track teams sparkle with stars who should contribute to more league titles and new track and field records. Santa Monica High School is perhaps the most poorly equipped school in athletic facilities, when compared with schools in and around Los Angeles. In spite of these difficulties, more than 50 per cent of the boys are accommodated in one or more sports during the year. Large squads are encouraged in all sports. The splendid school spirit and squad loyalty are direct results of successful campaigns f a coach and his squad. Because of our limited facilities we must accommodate the public and our visiting basketball teams away from school. The baseball team must travel across town to play and practice. We cannot offer swimming, life saving and water polo. Gymnastics, boxing and wrestling, offered by other schools, cannot be provided. Many of the boys who are not now out for any sport would enroll in somr useful aquatic or indoor activity, if more space and standard equipment were furnished. — F. E. MlSHLER. COACH MISHI.KR J FOOTBALL In their practice games this season, the Vikings showed promise oi repeating last year ' s performance. On Los Angeles Polytechnic High School field, the Vikings met their first defeat of the season, 14-0. The Samohi team out-played and made more first downs than the Mechanics, but thej didn ' t have the punch to make the needed points. With fight and spirit, the Vikings defeated Jefferson High 14-0. The Demo- crats had a strong team, hut were out-played through- out h tin- Vikings. Wooiwow Wilson mm 7 The Santa Monica Varsity opened the Bay League season with a bang, by defeating tin- Wilson Democrats 7-0.

Last year the Vikings should have won, but ; team held them. This year it was just the reverse, with tl tans. For Samohi, Maris, McNairy and Kelly were largelj In this game Dale Kasl was seriously injured and was remov weakening the Vikes ' defense and offense. Vexice 6 — Samohi 13 In a non-league game, the traditional rivals. Samohi and Venice, met at U.C.L.A. I he story was the same as of past games. Both were fighting teams who gave all they bad and played a great game of football. The first score came when a blocked punt gave Venice a touchdown which she failed to convert. With this score, the Vikings seemed to hit their stride. McDonell, Samohi end, received a pass from Simpson for a touchdown which was converted for seven points. Lopez, in the last quarter, made o more points for the 13-6 score. Compton — Samohi )n October 2S the Norsemen met the Compton Lions on our home field. Playing a strong defensive but a weak offensive game, the Santa Monica team was outplayed by an interior Compton squad, and held to a scoreless tie. McNairy, Lopez, Kasl and Maris placed outstanding ball for Samohi. Pedro — Samohi 6 The Pedro Pirates and the Santa Monica Vikings played a good game of football on the winners ' field, on November 4. It was a hard fought contest throughout, with the ikes having an edge in the last half by scoring six points. Inglewood 13 — Samohi On Armistice Day, Samohi played the strongest team in the Bay League, Ingle- wood. Untied and undefeated, the Sentinel team played a powerful game to win a hard-fought game. Keller, Sutherland and Troxel played a fine game for Inglewood, while Kasl, Lopez, McDonell and Donatoni starred for the losers. PAGE 110 LIGHTWEIGHT FOOTBALL One oi the strongest teams to be turned out at Samohi in recent years was this year ' s Lightweight Football Squad. Atter winning the Baj League Championship without losing a game, Captain Wayne Saiti and Ins team mates advanced tn the semi-finals of the Southern California play- offs onl) to lose a disputed game to II Monte. There seems to be a jinx on Santa Monica football teams when the} enter the playoff games. We hope that some da the ice will he broken. Wi i succeeded in scoring points tor the Viking el in the last minutes ot pla) on a lateral pass. Hi tington Park 6 — Samohi 25 almost at will, the Santa Monica B ' s won the second leason from the Huntington Park Spartans. Bob Mason w Sconn game ot th man of the name with a total of eighteen poin scored 98 points to their opponents ' 1 In four games the Bay League is high point Lightweights Venice 6 — Samohi One of the toughest games of the season was the Samohi-Venice Lightweight af- fair. Venice, with a powerful line, made the first score of the game by a sustained I )isplaying plenty of power in their practice games, the Lightweights opened the season by severely trouncing the Wilson Democrats. Sarff, Dunnagan and Mason all march to a touchdown. A few minutes later Harry Dunnagan, on a lateral pass, ran completely through the Venice team to score on a 65 yard run. Late in the game B ib Mason made the winning touchdown. Compton 6 — Samohi 10 The Compton Lions gave the Vikings a very hard game and held them to a six- six tie at the end of the half. Harkness, Samohi end, blocked a punt in the third quarter and the ball was put over in three plays. Mason and Price made the three touchdowns for the winners. Sax Pedro — Samohi 7 Saving his men for the game with Inglewood, Coach Larry Horn didn ' t put his tull power into the Pedro game. The game was a fight throughout with each team boasting a very strong line. The superior backlield of Sarff, Dunnagan, (jellette and Mason were the chief cause of the Viking win. Inglewood — Samohi 6 The Inglewood-Santa Monica game was the deciding game of the season. For the first three-quarters the game was a scoreless tie. In the last quarter Samohi started a sustained drive which ended in a touchdown. This win clinched the title for the Viking team. Redondo — Samohi 33 The biggest pushover of the year was the Redondo game. Coach Larry Hoin played every man on the team. Fourth string or first string made no difference as far as the scoring went. Jack Bidwell, speedy back, turned in a brilliant 83 yard run. Anaheim U — Samohi 41 In the first round of the Southern California playoffs, Santa Monica completely smothered Anaheim, 41-0. The biggest laugh of the game was when Tubby Irwin, first string guard, made two touchdowns. As usual. Harry Dunnagan got off to a fine run of 80 yards. Wayne Sarff called it an excellent game for his team. PAGE 112 El Monte 7 — Samohi The El Monte football game was one of much dispute. Not playing up to par, the lightweight squad were outplayed by a crack team. Twice Santa Monica ball carriers, Sarff and Mason, crossed the goal line and each time the ball was called back on technicalities. The Lions bad everything in their favor and can thank their lurk for this win. The Lightweight football letrermen were: Leroy Irwin, Sid Allekov, Rill Bart- Iett, Jack Ridwell, Boyd Bonner, Jack Brooks, Earl Cadman, Harry Dunnagan, Dan Enrico, Sud Evans, Ed Gillette, Bob Hackett, Curly Harkness, Fred Kent, Bert Lopez, Bob Mason, Clyde Price, David Wells, Frank Osti, Wayne Sarff, Erwin (Jordan, Kenny Snider, and David Sinclair, manager. C rOOTBALiL For bis first year at football coaching Coach Sangor Crumpacker certainly did a good job. At the beginning of the season the C squad wa.s light and inexperienced. As the season progressed they gained much in experience and spirit. LJnder the direction of Captain Reid the C squad defeated Woodrow Wilson 13-0, Redondo 12-0, San Pedro 6-0, Huntington Park 7-6, and Inglewood 20-0. Throughout the season the Santa Monica line held their opponents to one single score and the backfield held up their part by scoring 58 points. As Bay League Cham- pions they deserve lots of praise for their fine games. The C lettermen were : Rob- ert Cockburn, Danny Ellin, Mike Frabasilio, Curtis Straw, Ted Wilson, George Betton, Don Reid, John Sutherland, and Bill Ross, manager. 1 JtvOJr.r ll.CyiJ The Iron Man ' s Cup was not the only award Samohi won in the athletic field. All in all there was brought into our Alma Mater seven cups. Boy, that ' s going some ! The Girls ' and Boys ' Tennis teams won the Bay League Trophy. Dorothy Dot Bundy, who is rapidly developing her cousin ' s habit of col- lecting cups, very neatly came through to snatch away the Dudley Cup. The B football team came through with the Bay League Mug. The A track team were not to be put back so they trotted off their Bay League honor. Seems to be a Bay League year for dear ol ' Samohi, doesn ' t it? There might be some more glories to come into the Alma Mater in the near future, and we sincerely hope so, but we don ' t as yet know about it. You can talk all you want to about weak teams, but any bunch of athletes that reap in seven cups deserve a big hand. Let ' s see you go out to the field next year and cheer so loud that you won ' t be able to talk for a week. Yell your throat out. If you can ' t play, you can always support your team. BASKETBALL Despite the fact that Santa Monica did not represent the Bay League in the Southern California playoffs, they ended a most successful season. For the third successive year, in the deciding game of the season, a fighting Santa Monica team has been defeated by one point. Coach Sanger Crumpacker, in his tour years of coaching Santa Monica teams, has put out one championship team and lost the other three years by that heart breaking one point. A fine record for a line coach. It takes a good manager to make a good team and Conrad Williams deserves lots of Huntington Park 21 — Samohi 29 Samohi opene d the casaba season with Coach Pop Squires ' powerful Huntington Park team. For the past six years neither of these teams had won a game by more than two points. Led by Cap- tain Bob Barnum, the Viking team broke the ice in the last half and won from the Spartans by eight and McDonnell played good ball for the winners, starred for the losers. Compton 33 — Samohi 22 In this game, the Viking team had a very bad evening. With neither defense nor offense clicking, Samohi lost a dull game to an inferior team. Orr, Compton center, was the outstanding man on the court and was the chief factor in the sinking ot the Viking ship. Walt Edborg, lanky forward, was the one man of the Santa Monica team to hit his stride, scoring nine points. San Pedro 39 — Samohi 20 Sin Pedro proved to be one of the best prep teams in the Southland and it is little wonder that the Viking Varsity lost to them, 39-20. Rafalovich, Pedro guard, rang up fifteen points while his teammate, Oystoich, tallied twelve points. Barnum, KasI, Slaughter and Kennedy played good ball against a very fast, clever team. Ixgi.ewood 25 — Samohi 26 What a game! In the basketball season nothing can compare with this for thrills. Leading throughout, Inglewood was confident of victory. In the last half, led In Barnum and Edborg, the Viking team fought their way to a one-point victory. Braun and Sawtelle played sterling ball for the losers. Redondo 27 — Samohi 34 With an inexperienced team, the Redondo Varsity was an easy victim for the Vikings. Hill, of Redondo, was high point man of the evening, with fourteen points for the losers, while KasI scored fourteen points for the winners. It was a good game, but Samohi had too much class for the Redondo team. Woodrow Wilson 18 — Samohi 17 The Wilson game was a true heart-breaker for the Samohi team. It was a fight to see who would be the Bay League representative in the C. I. F. playoffs and the Wilson had the fight to win by one point. Hill and Kent played stellar ball for the winners by scoring most of the Democrats ' points. McDonell and Ratican starred for the losers. LIGHTWEIGHT BASKETBALL The Viking Lightweights had a most successful season tin ' s year. Coach Larry Horn had a very large turnout and was able to get some very good material to work with. He was fortunate in having some very line forewards in Sarff, Brooke, Rothwell, and Harkness. In other departments he was not so successful with Dunnagan the only outstanding center and Athey and Sawyer the only outstanding guards. This Viking team won the Bay League crown but was defeated in the first round of the Southern California playoffs by Pasadena 41 to 24. Huntington Park 17 — Samohi 25 The Vikings opened the League season against the Huntington Park Spartans. It was a good game throughout with Hail, Brooke, and Rothwell playing fair hall for the winners and Arnold and Dixson starring for the losers. Inglewood 29 — Samohi 32 With Harkness and Sarff scoring fourteen and eight points respectively, the Vik- ings nosed out a fast Inglewood team 32-29. Harkness was by far the most outstand- ing on the court despite the fact that Roberts, Inglewood center, scored twelve points. Dunnagan, Athey and Sawyer played fine ball for Santa Monica. Redondo 14 — Samohi 45 The Redondo Sea Hawks had a hard night when they met the Viking Light- weights. With Dunnagan scoring thirteen points and everyone else dropping in bas- kets, the Santa Monica team won an easy victory. Lavohsen and Wallace were the main contributors to the Sea Hawks ' fourteen points. Woodrow Wilson 14 — Samohi 12 In the final League contest the Vikings met a strong Democratic squad and received the small end of the score, being defeated by two points. The game was close throughout with each team scoring five field goals. Samohi missed her chance of a win by making only two foul shots while Wilson made four. Hales made six points for Wilson and Dunnagan scored seven points for Santa Monica. Pasadena 41 — Samohi 24 In the first round of the Southern California playoffs the Viking Lightweights lost to Pasadena. Up to the third quarter Samohi played good ball and the score was twenty points each. With the start of the fourth quarter Santa Monica seemed to blow up and Pasadena romped home with twenty points in five minutes. ■zmmm ■l b S ffiuL J W « VARSITY TRACK i the first time in nine years the Santa Monica Varsity Track squad lias been able to uphold Samohi ' s fine sports record. With a fine squad of athletes at his disposal, Coach Larry Horn coached his third Hay Ix-ague Champion- ship team of the year. After winning all their Bay League meets by large scores, the Vikings entered the Bay League finals with seventeen men qualified and an even choice with Inglewood and Huntington Park for the crowd. Run- ning hetter than was expected, Santa Monica won the Championship with 53 points compared to 43} for Inglewood and 39 J for Huntington Park. The fel- lows responsible for the 53j points were: Willson, half miler; Price and Van Matre, sprinters; Harrison and Mason, pole vaulters; Ketner, broad jumper; Sta- ley and Crossland, hurdlers; McDonnell, football thrower; Kasl, high jumper; and Anderson, quarter To close a perfect track meet Samohi ' s relay team composed of Price, Van Staley and Anderson won the relay by a scant two yards from Huntington COACH HURX miler, Mat. Park. The following Saturday at Southgate, in the Southern California Sectional meet, Samohi lost the cup by one half a point to Glendale with a 23 2 to 24 score. Harri- son, Mason, Staley, Anderson and Willson, with the help of Price and Van Matre on the relay, made Santa Monica ' s points. At the Coliseum, May 13, will be held the finals for the Southern California track athletes. Staley, Harrison and Anderson are the individuals entered. Price, Mason, Anderson and Van Matre are entered as a relay team. We certainly wish these fellows luck. Those receiving Varsity mono- grams are: Price, Van Matre, Harrison, Mason, Conlin, Ketner, Staley, Hatch, Cross- land, Kennedy, Willson, Kasl, McDonnell, Douglas, De Ritis, Guiterrez, Baird and Halev. Preston was a very competent manager. LIGHTWEIGHT TRACK The Lightweight track squad of this year was in all a very fine team. With a championship to defend, the Vikings were hard pressed in the Bay League by a strong Woodrow Wilson outfit and showed lots of class in finishing second. Those Vikings who placed in the Bay League were: Rosenburg, shot putter and high jumper; Davis, high jumper; Johnston, football thrower; Cadman, shot putter; Enrico, shot putter; Brooks, sprinter; Dellinger, sprinter; Brooke, 660; and Van Alstine, 1320. Of these boys, Brooks, Rosenburg. Van Alstine and Cadman have the ability to place well up in the Southern California meet to be held at the Memorial Stadium in the near future. v 1 r . C Jv The class C track team was most fortunate in having a well balanced squad. Coached by Sangor Crumpacker, the Vikings showed strength throughout the season and succeeded in placing second to San Pedro in the Bay League. 1 hose men who placed for Santa Monica in the Bay League were: V.tldr , ln li jumper; Fabasilio, hurdler; Wilson, shot putter; Cockburn, shot putter; Orlando, sprinter; Ellen, sprinter; Huters, 660; and Reid, sprinter, 660. These fellows deserve a lot of praise for making this a most successful track season. BAY LEAGUE VARSITY TRACK SUMMARY 100 yard dash.

I .v TENNIS Foi the sixth time oul oi the last seven years, Samohi ' s tennis team won the Bay League Championship. The ream this year had six returning lettermen from last year ' s championship squad which formed a fairly strong team. The tennis team was coached by Floyd Mishler and managed by Glen McGuffen. This year ' s team was composed of first singles, Walter Ruclcers; second singles, Captain Louis Bitterlin; third singles, Dale Kasl ; fourth singles, Frank Escobado; first doubles, Henry Moon and Edward Hopkins; second doubles, Jack Blanchard and Harry Laughlin. In a few matches, the lineup was changed somewhat, and Brignolle Biorkman played fourth singles. The tennis season this year was started quite late and consequently not many practice matches were held, but those that were, afforded stiff competition and keyed up the team for the Bay League race. In the first practice match, the team lost to Beverly Hills High School, 18-7. In the second, the team beat South Pasadena High School, last year ' s Southern California Champions, 25-0. In the third and fourth practice matches the Vikes lost both times to the powerful Roman team from L. . High School. In the first League match Santa Monica defeated Redondo, 25-0, in a very easy match. Huntington Park was the next victim and they were also blanked 25-1). The next match was the only close score in League competition. It was against Inglewood, and Santa Monica won, 16-9. In the next match, the Santa Monica racquet wielders blanked Woodrow Wilson, 25-0. The scheduled match with Comp- ton was called off because Compton had no team this year, and forfeited 25 points to every other team. The last League match was against San Pedro. The Vikes won, and thus culminated one of the most successful tennis years in the history of Samohi as far as Bay League is concerned. At this writing, the team is in the semi-finals of the Southern California Play-offs, having defeated Alhambra, in the first play-off match, bv the decisive score of 20-5. DASrLlJALrL With five returning lettermen to bolster the Santa Monica horsehiders they had a good chance to win the Hay League title. After winning theii firs) four games, they lost their last two and so the championship went to San Pedro. As the Pirates an- in Los Angeles City, they were not able to send them to the South ern California playoffs. Samohi was given the opportunity but had to refu i of financial difficulties. R.EDONDO 3 S wiolll I 1 Samohi ' s baseball team scored an easy, but impressive, victorj over the Redondo Sea Hawks in the lirst League game. With Kimball fanning fourteen opposing bat- ters and Sarff catching an excellent game, the Santa Monica batterj worked to per fection. Sarff, Dunnagan, Kimball and Robertson each slugged out two hits for the win- ners, while M urdock of Redondo tagged Kimball for two. Huntington Park 3 — Samohi 12 In a game played at Hell High School the Santa Monica VarsitJ baseball team defeated a badly trained squad of Spartans. Due to the earthquake, the Huntington Park team was not in shape and Kimball pitched the Santa Monica team to victory. Sarff, Kimball and Barnum got three hits each for the winners. Inglewood 3 — Samohi 6 Wayne Sarff saved the day for the Viking horsehiders when he slugged out a double with the bases loaded. The game was mostly a pitching duel with Kimball ' having the upper hand. Athey, Dunnagan and Barnum played a tine game of ball. Woodrow Wilson 5 — Samohi 9 To continue an undefeated record the Santa Monica baseball team won t the Wilson Democrats 9-5. Maki ng three runs in the first inning, the (, Vil|br thought they had the game in the bag, but the Viking squad came baej tb seor runs and be on top for the rest of the game. Sarff, Newton, Abbey Dunnagan got some fine hits. San Pedro 8 — Samohi 5 Aided by a flock of errors, the San Pedro Pirates scored tiy to defeat the undefeated Viking nine 8-5. By result of this Pirates are tied for first place in League standing. Dunnagar liter field fence. in one inning e; Vikings and and Abbey led CjOLr As yet there is nothing definite in connection with Golf. The team has been working out regularly and show lots of promise for the future. This year ' s golf is to be decided in one big Bay League meet instead of a series of meets. Although Woodrow Wilson presents a strong squad, the Santa Monica team should give them a tough fight for the Championship. The prospects for the team are as follows: Clerance Hinsely, Ned Ketner, Tom Kegley, Ed. Harrison, Everett Ainge. Hinsely shoots a mean game of golf, and is certain to make the team. The whole team, in fact, shows talent and we hope to win the Bay League honor. SPORTS REVIEW During the sports season 1932 and ' 33, the Santa Monica Viking teams have- been unusuallj successful. After losing the Iron Man cup to Inglewood h one point last year, thej made sun- oi it this year In obtaining a lead of twenty points to cinch the cup with a total oi fifty-one digits. Think of it. In all classes and in five major sports, no Santa Monica te finished the season lower than thud place. Oi these we have captured five Baj League Championships— Tennis, Lightweight Football and Basketball, Class C Football and Varsity Track. Although failing to capture titles in Lightweight and C Track, Varsity C and D Basketball and Baseball, all these teams finished or tied for second place. Considering the season as a whole, Samohi has completed the best year in her sports history. The Viking teams have shown the true sportsmanship and true spirit of champions. The motto, A fighting team is never licked, may well read, Viking team is never licked. Peadunk Harrison, despite a badly pulled muscle, came through only to win the California Track Meet at twelve feet. Talk about tough breaks. Roaring Ray Lopez, of the Varsity football squad, nearly tied the Inglewood team if it hadn ' t been for the fact that he had on an ill- fitting jersey. Dale Kasl went out for nearly every kind of sport and made a letter in every one he enrolled for. Miracle of miracles! Samohi enters two athletics in the California finals foi track and both boys bring home the bacon. Harrison, as before mentioned, won the pole vault, while Roy Staley took the high hurdles. GIRLS ' ATHLETICS athletics club. This year the difi were the Tumbling, Cycling, Padi ■ type ol It clubs Roller-Skating, Archery, Swimming and Tap Club. Miss Martha Hellner had charge of the Tumbling Club. All the girls in this club were talented in acrobatics and had a wonderful sense of balance. They did many stunts for different organizations and were credited for their great talent further developed by Miss Hellner. The Cycling Club was coached by Miss Nor- MISS MARY K. CARRol.L ma Lenz. These girls cycled all over Santa Monica at different times. Some of the girls were known to have cycled twenty-five miles. This club is the best for the development of muscles and is well liked by all the girls. Miss .Man Carroll headed the Roller-Skating Club. The girls belonging to this club skated all over Santa Monica, doing about five miles each meeting. The Archery Club was directed by Miss Rhea Featherston. Most of these girls had no experience in archery before entering the club, and through Miss Featherston have developed quite a fine technique and rapidity to their shooting. About the last two months of school, the Swimming Club was formed. It meets at the Grand Hotel and consists of very good swimmers. Miss Helen Goetz was the instructor for the Tap Club. She was able to de- velop in these gifted dancers, pep and rhythm to their tapping. The girls tapped at different occasions, such as the P. T. A. meeting, and the Girls ' Gym Jinx. VOLLEYBALL Well Ilk, tile- volley ball opened this iasm. The teams were color into the game bees in this sport before. Because the sophomore class was so large each first, second and third teams had two teams, making it harder and more exciting to win. Everyone oi their teams had lots ot spunk, coming near to win- ning the championship. Although they didn ' t get it this year, it is a pretty close bet that thej will win next year. Everyone was waiting in anxiety to see just what the juniors were going to do in this game, because of the winning ability in the games hereto- fore played. Although they did show good mater- ial, they couldn ' t seem to get anywhere. The sen- miss FEATHERSTON iors took the title away from them with little effort, saving the greatest effort for the games between the sophomores. The seniors at last came to the top with their splendid volleying, serving and spiking. They went right through the season without losing a game. The players on their teams were: Dorothy Griffith (captain). Sail) Hamilton, Florence Marcus, Helen Wells, Betty Swearinger, Margaret Swearingen, Betty Haley, Betty Heath, Norine Cross, Donna Thorpe, Marjory Fuller, Le Moigne De- maris, Barbara Cilker. After the main tournament was completed, an honorary team was chosen from all three classes to play against a team consisting of the faculty and Junior College girls. The honorary team took the score by a very close call. The coaches, Miss Rhea Featherston, Miss Helen GoetZ, Miss Louise Marc-, and Miss Evelyn Clemens, are credited with the fine teams they put out. ,toA.,wUU r J r rLll Ul5 LL This se ason ' s games of speed ball, although supported In very fine team-., were very much interrupted. First, the rain rami ' and made lakes on the field, and then the Christmas holidays dba bili To the sophomores the ga • ™ new, but thej soon picked it up tics for the following years. The little but speedy juniors once more got out there on the field and showed both teams what thej could do. Such passing and kicking as thej did had never been witnessed before. The fighting seniors again went into the tourna- Lment with enthusiasm and hoped that they might run away with the championship. Even though they showed clever and tricky playing, luck just wasn ' t with them and they lost to the juniors by two points. Speed ball, besides being a great game, provided plenty of exercise and provided the girls with an abundance of rosy cheeks and healthy appetites. The championship team was: Roberta Nanney, Anita Rheimer, Marie Jones, Bartie Conway, Marjorie Barth, Marguerite Rose, Monica Spencer, Dorothy Bundy, Blanche Scarbrough, Nellie Pay, Jane Coules, Louise Furman. Since the season went over its regular time no honorary team was chosen. The coaches were: Miss Martha Hellner, Miss Rea Featherston, Miss Helen Goetz, Miss Norma Len , Miss Evelyn Clemens and Miss Ixiuise Marcus. M ISS RTH l, I ' R FIESTA DANCING i , i the dances for the fiesta this year were typical dances of various parts of .Mexico, done in the costume oi that region. Material for these were gathered In Miss Rhea Featherston dur- ing her trip through Mexico last summer. The Sandunga Pacqfuena is a dance done by the ladies lit the southern part of Mexico. The Qy! Tara La La — Con y Cancion Aba- jenos of Michoacanos was a dance by girls in the typical Mexican Indian costume. This is the first year that the boys have participated in the group dancing. Fourteen boys with girls from the Senior Dancing Class danced the Mexican Jarabe Tapation. This was costumed by the art department, the girls ' dresses having full white skirts and bril- liant red shawls with long fringe. The boys wore black suits with black Mexican jackets, red girdles and godets inserted in the foot of their trousers, and the large sombrero. These costumes were designed and by the Costume Design class with the assistance of the girls in the dancing the dance was effectively done with orchestral accompaniment. An interesting effect was gained by the gypsy dance, danced around tl girls with multi-colored costumes. Miss Helen Goetz presented four sophomore girls and four boys in Couple Waltz, Cielito Lindo. The Cock-Fight this year, although attraction of a comedy hen. This provid was presented by Miss Norma Lenz. The program was varied by the intr tango with a group of eight girls. following traditional lines, had much entertainment for the am class and ie pool In a Spanish an added lience.

The gills who compose the Santa Monica Tennis Team are the girls who have given their hest effort to win. The line-up is as follows: Manager and 1st Singles, May Doeg. 2nd Singles, Mildred Young. 1st Doubles, Dot Bundy and Kay Lanham. Due to the tact that there are five girls all equal in playing, the 2nd Doubles is composed of Joe Curtin, Nancy McGee, Isabel Lindsey, Jean McGregor and Carol Rose. The girls do not only have the League matches, but have been greatly encouraged by Mr. T. H. Dudley and Mr. Louis Blatz. Each year they donate prizes to the winners in the respective tournaments. This year the Dudley Cup was competed for by May Doeg, who won the Cup last ear, ami Dot Bundy. Dot Bundy won the Cup. These girls are by far the strong- est players in the school. Th e Blatz tournament was opened to any girl in the school, and there was much competition. The girls reaching the finals were Angie Bennetti and Kay Lanham. The Pennant was won by Kay Lanham. When graduation comes the girls will be sorry to lose their favorite player, May Doeg, who has done so much good work for the teams. May has been 1st Singles and the outstanding player for three consecutive years at Santa Monica High School. The hope for next year is that we will have even a stronger team, and be more victorious than this year. BASEBALL The great A. gam baseball, for the last two or three years, to the girls has become a sport that is looked forward to during the whole year. At the beginning of each practice, tests were given in batting, pitching and catching, which helped to improve the girls ' technique. By the time the Nautilus is at press the teams will be in the midst of some very interesting and exciting games. Again there is a doubt in everyone ' s mind as to which team will win, the juniors or tin- seniors. Both teams are out to win. having quick and cautious players, besides pitchers with very clever little tricks about their pitching. Besides these two rival teams, there is the sophomore team. which for all we know max walk off with the championship. The coaches for this season are Miss Helen Goetz, Miss Rea Featherston and two Junior College students who are majoring Physical Education, Miss Evelyn Clemens and Miss Louise Marcus. To further the improvement of the girls, they have elected their own team man- ager and student coaches. These student coaches must be well versed in every little detail there is in the game of baseball. The managers have plenty of work in taking are of the supplies and helping with the good work of the teams. MISS HELE III CAMPUS LIFE Vol I ' ll.
