In 1916 it was made a union high school and a board of trustees was organized, of whom the members were: J. B. Curtin, presi- dent, H. O. Ball, J. H. West, Dr. D. E. Stratton, and Charles H. Segerstrom, clerk. The board remained thus until 1925, the year of Mr. Curtin's death. H. O. Ball was then elected president, and J. E. Baer took his place as a member. There were no changes in the board again until May 3, 1927, when H. O. Ball and J. H. West re- signed, and Garnet Barron and Rowen Hardin took their places as members, and Mr. Segerstrom was elected president and J. E. Baer, clerk. We, as members of a school which these men have so carefully and wisely super- vised, owe a cordial vote of thanks to our school bcard. They have given Sonora a school of which the people may be proud. Progressive County The progress of Tuolumne county has been largely due to the Board of Supervisors who, with keen judgment, supervise the civic activities of the county. That they are the promoters of the higher educational ideas in this county is shown by their generous sup- port of the elementary school and by their advocating the erection of a high school which was completed in 1906. Not long ago they promoted the idea of an institution for the relief of those affected with tuberculosis. With this idea in mind, ten other counties joined with Tuolumne county in the building of Weimar Sanitorium, and a new wing was recently added to the county hospital. Progressiveness is further revealed by the rebuilding of the court house at Sonora to replace the old wooden structure. The new building of brick and concrete was com- pleted in the spring of 1900. Other improvements may be enumerated as follows: the highways, which have brought in many transients and which are in great contrast to the old dirt roads we at one time had to endureg paved streets in unincorporated townsg concrete bridges which take the places of the old unsafe wooden bridges and ferries. Tuolumne county as a whole has been advanced and freely advertised through the efforts of these men who have helped in the development of natural resources. For all these modern improvements and conveniences we owe our thanks to the successive boards of supervisors. The present board is composed of: Robert T. Simmons, chairmang Frank J. Dondero, John C. Davis, Ernest H. Hodge, Frank J. Ralph. E21 Confenfs COVER DESIGN WOOD CUT TUOLUMNE COUNTY SCHOOL ,,7.,,, CLASSES C,,,,7..

One author says: To live socially efficient one must be able to earn, to maintain happy domestic relations, to participate in civic affairs. This very nearly gives the true pur- pose of secondary schools. The elementary schools teach the use of tools of education, it is our business to master knowledge both cultural and technical-that the student may have a knowledge of the arts and literature as well as of the special line that he cares to follow. We are constantly striving to make our schools more efficient, but we sometimes forget that the best way to accomplish this is to work to make each individual effi- cient. Parents could do much by cooperating in placing students in proper courses, by looking after their physical welfare, by giving moral training, by holding more heart to heart talks with their children about the future. Too many times it is left to the school entirely. There should be a planning for a life and not a year's course. The school is frequently asked to recommend to an employer certain young people. We must base this recommendation on habits formed during the adolescent years. If the habits of industry and good attitude toward his fellows have been developed, the boy cr girl usually gets the position. Frequently this has been neglected with the opposite result. Good habits make for good character. Young people are imitators of those they admire. For that reason a vital element cf success and efficient living is good friendship and social environment. Right ideals of successful living can thus be instilled. Reading of good books give the same effect. Pupils are prone to accept moral precepts as a matter of course and they do not absorb them. There must be true character if the plan of life is to be efficient. Theodore Roosevelt said: In the long run, no brilliancy of intellect, no perfection of bodily development, will count when weighed in the balance against that assemblage of virtues, which we call character. The parents must direct the way. The adolescent youth is sure he understands. The parent must be in constant touch with the schools if the life intrusted to us is to be efficient. If one fails, neither can undo the harm. Let us cooperate for efficiency in lite planning. V. A. DUNLAVY, Principal. T41 Tiff if 1f 1fAj-7 I. Self Expression The value of the individual is coming to be recognized more and more in educa- tional circles as well as in the fields of business and of art. In the public grammar schools of today, children are not considered as a herd of sheep into which the three R's are to be poured, but as potential citizens who will later govern the nation. In the high school, initiative, originality, executive ability, and a sense of responsibility are fostered by participation in such activities as student body government, plays, and school publications. Everyone carries within himself potential force and ability that should be expressed. No matter what line one follows, one should express himself and his personality. Per- sonality is but an expression of one's inner self which acts as the incentive for the creative spirit. If in the smallest thing one does he puts himself, through it he will be allied in spirit with the greatest works of art and of literature that the ages have pro- duced. The good artist and the good artisan are both held together by one common de- sire-to express in their work the best that is within them. A sense of humor works as a saving grace at times. One is Rpt to become atfected with a suffocative sense of one's own importance in the general scheme of affairs. The individual is essential to society, and he owes to society the expression of himself but he is only a link in an endless chain-and the other links are as important and as essential as he. Be convinced of your own importance, but do not take yourselves roo seriously. Here, after our years of participation in school activities, we have learned a few of the essentials of life in a democracy-the importance of the individual as a part of the whole, the value of expression, and the essential necessity of keeping one's sense of values and sense of humor clear and open. The world outside is much as it is here. Let us say with Browning: 'Strive and thrivel' cry 'Speedy-fight on, for ever there as here.' -VIRGINIA BURTON, '27, lfl rw ,, N p. 5.

Bill, as he was affectionately known by everyone, was always generous and ready to help us in any of our campaigns for funds etc. for school activities. Our large lawn and well kept buildings were always noticeable, and Bill devoted his time to the upkeep of these. We sincerely miss Bill, and no one can fill the place he had in our school life- for a great many friends feel his absence, and all our wishes are for his quick recovery.

S. as meek frightened Fresh and thanked Provi- dence for the No Hazing signs. Next year, as worldy Sophs, we begged Mr. Dun- lavy to remove the signs, No I-Iazing, but we found himiadamant and had to con- tent ourselves with a mild party for our under-classmen. As Juniors, we caused Mr. Dunlavy to remark about our unusual intelligenceg and this year, as Seniors, we have fulfilled our friends' and parents' fond hopes for us. Our knowledge, dignity and worthiness we wear well. The first Senior activity was the program given to the student body by members of the Senior class. On April 1st we gave the Juniors a party to which the whole stu- dent body was invited. A unique idea was used for decoration and entertainment. On April 6th the usual privilege was granted to us to ditch for one day. Senior ditch day this year took us to Big Trees and Murphy's Cave. In the first week in May we presented as our class play Captain Applejack, a highly entertaining adventure. One thing for which S. U. H. S. will remember us, the graduating class of '27, is teachers' ditch day. The privilege of ditching for one day is granted to the teachers, and the classes are taken over by the Seniors. -HELEN CURREN, '27. E131 MARTHA ALEXANDER . A girl who practices the Golden Rule.

Oh! Our experiments, we've forgotten them! Miss Snzelser gives us a cold grey look, So we bury ourselves in the depths of our book. The bell soon rings and what a relief, We only hope the next will be brief. Mr. Beefman is reigning upstairs. We try to sneak out when he's unawares, But try as we might or do as we will, When the next bell rings,-we're up there still Fifth period is certainly a trial- Noon and eats in our mind all the while, And at cafeteria what a rush, We push and pull ana' squirm and crush.

We feel kinda solemn and quiet--subdued, We know our relations will ne'er be renewed. We peek at Mr. Dunlavy to see how he looks, And he in turn gets busy with books. He probably won't miss us at all we say- But gee! Let -me tell you, if we had our way- We'd all like to have him by one look or word I in ply that he'd miss this big noisy herd, But really, I s'pose he won't-like as not, For we were rather a troublesome lot. -MA ring!

Mr. Bcezmm The Junior class this year came back with that spirit of doing which has grown IH us during our first two high school years and proceeded immediately to take our place in student activities. We took our places in sports and the Junior boys were well represented on the football and basketball teams and have worked hard in their endeavors to win many of the games. In dramatics we have also won honors. The play chosen for our class was Bah, which at once appealed to the cast and many hours of faithful practice were spent in order to present the play in all its perfection. From the close attention of the audience during the performance and from the many compliments paid to the participants we feel sure our efforts met with success. The Junior class was very sorry to lose their sponsor, Miss Ritchie, who left to ac- Cept a position at Long Beach. A farewell luncheon was given her by the class, dur- ing which she was presented with a gold fountain pen. The duties of sponsor were taken over by Mr. Beeman, who has proved very successful. At present we are looking forward to the prom, which will be given by. the JUI1i0rS, as usual. Although a date has not yet been set, some plans have been made, and we assure you that it will be some affair. We only hope that the closing days of 1928 will hold the memories of a year well spent. We know the closing days of 1927 are filled with satisfaction for the present Senior class. T --CATHARINE GUERIN, '28.

This year we came into our titl worldly Snphsf' and have spent an eventful year. Our officers are as follows: Marcel Baer, presidentg Bernice Huber, vice-presidentg Ruth Robinson, secretary, Muriel Huber, treasurer, and Raymond Moyle, executive. We held several parties among ourselves, at Miss Knight's suggestion, which were very informal. Ah! Wlmeii it came time to initiate the Fresh we did so with a baby PQUTYQ everyone came dressed in his oldest clothes. Our class was well represented in basketball and track this year, showing that we have athletic as well as intellectual ability. We gave the student body a play entitled Mrs, Wiggs in the Cabbage Patch. This fact is unusual, since only the Juniors and Seniors have heretofore presented annual plays. We hope our next two years will be as successful as our Hrst two have been. -l'IARRlIiT'l' ROBINSON, '29. wi r-1 LH OO n-4 FJ arf' President .. ...... ...,... - .... . .

They even held a crying contest and my, but we Could cry! ln return, the Freshmen gave a Hobo Party. Everyone came in hobo costume, and the party was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The upper classmen had to admit we werenlt such babies after all. In athletics the girls have put up a good light, and we carried off the honors in several basketball games. Among the boys we have several promising athletes, one of our boys having already received letters for his merits in football and basketball. We have kept our place on the honor roll, and although we are still just Freshics, we have spent a happy year. Big oaks from little acorns growlv Watch the class of '30, -HELEN BECKWITH, '30. E391 40 To A Rover ' Once I heard a hobo, singing by the tie-road, Loitering by the old rail, rusty with the dew, Crooning of the jirelight thinking of the high-road, Singing of the grey dawn e'er the sun broke through. Far across the west range, where the moody sea swings, Fighting 'gainst the raw stones, booming up the sand, There I heard a sailor, chanting tales the sea sings, Sings to every rover when he prays for land Slowly rode a cowboy, circling round the night herd, Misty was the starlight, slini the silvery moon. Then I heard hiin singing, lovely as a night bird, Weary pony nodding to the queer old tune. Snow and wind, or sunshine-any kind of weather- Wfhite hot on the mesa-freezing on the crest- Me and just my shadow, jogging on together, jogging on together down the long road west. Silent was the black pool, velvet in the far light, Shadows making mystery high along the hill. Wheii I heard a bird sing, qnaintly in the starlight, Echoing through the green wood where the trees were still. Valley, range and high-trail, mesa, beetle, ri-ver Seen across the lowlands, rolling down to rest, Always there's the skyline, rnnning on forever- Running on forever in the red-gold west. -LILLIAN HENIKER, '27 ! gl The Spanish Shawl CPrize storyj Anna looked forward to tomorrow with dread. Tomorrow the school would have ha'f a holida for it was to be Old Clothes day. She knew everyone would have won- yi dcrful costumes and all would have fun. She, as usual, drab little Anna, would have no costume, no fun, nothing that the other girls had. She had had a terrible day. All the other girls had talked about their dresses and h d k d h r about hers She had replied as best she could, all the time envying many a as e e . them-they in their pretty frocks, she in her dull, somber dresses. At her home on the Small farm, silver dollars were not plentiful and she had to wear cast off clothes. Finally the day was over and she rode home in one of the great yellow buses, and the school was left cold and silent. If one had been at the school early the next morning, the building would have ap- peared old, gray and somber. There was no life in the building and all was silent. Soon ' l b d bits of color appeared at the windows and on the walks. Great yellow buses um ere up ard let forth a mixed assemblage of people: Spanish desperadoes with gay trappings and gaudy colors, indolent Mexicans with gay scrapes wrapped around them and huge Scmbrerosg miners of the '49 days with dirty, blue jeans and mud stained shirts, even gallants with high silk hats and swallow tail coats. In one of the buses came Anna. In her heart there was great joy. When she had reached home that evening before, her mother had at once noticed her sad face and had asked her the reason for it. Anna had then told her the trouble. Without a word her mother led the way to the garret and opened one of the trunks there. Her mother had then pulled out a great mass of scarlet silk and flounces. Anna gasped with wonder. It was a Spanish dress, one of the most beautiful she had ever seen. There was also in the trunk a great heap of shawls. Her mother told her that her great, great grandmother had married into a Spanish family. She had loved Spanish Shawls and gowns and had collected these that Anna new saw. They had been handed down to her mother. Her mother selected the prettiest gown and shawl and gave them to Anna. The next morning Anna dressed with great care and, if she had only known it, looked very pretty. The bright and daring colors brought out tones in her hair and eyes and skin that she had not known she possessed. She had kept her coat on in the bus and until the bell rang she left it on. After much scurrying in the hall, classes were begun. There was not much being accomplished, as jokes, laughter and compliments flew back and forth. Soon Anna, because of her dress, her heightened color, the new light in her eyes, the very joy radiating from her was noticed by the boys and girls in her class. Anna herself felt unbelievably happy and had eyes for all around her. And well she might. Here was a group of Southern belles with long flounces and curls, there a group Of radiant senoritas with lace mantillas and gorgeous high combs. Even the clignihied teachers portrayed miners, gentlemen of old, grave Spaniards, and many other quaint characters. The whole school was transformed into a scene of life and color. F411 Gradually groups of girls collected about Anna admiring her and her dress. Anna fairly glowed. She had never been popular, and when any occasion arose that required a pretty dress, Anna had had the commonest and the poorest. In the halls everyone was talking at once, when a shrill whistle was blown. The grand parade at last. Everyone was scuttling here and there, getting into the right place. Not the least of the participants were wild cowboys with sombreros, wooly chaps and bright silk handkerchiefs knotted around their throats. The finishing touches of theii equipment were the heavy Colts in their holsters. They were mounted on all speci- mens of horses from wiry little mustangs to beautiful riding horses and some few rodx humble burros. At the head of the parade were a few of these cowboys. Then came a dilapidated buggy drawn by an equally dilapidated looking donkey and holding a gay senorita and a farmer boy. Next came a motley group: Gay clowns, blooming belles, dignified se- noras, sparkling senoritas, Indians who, despite their alleged solemnity, had smiling faces, then dainty maids in sunbonnets and gingham. Here and there one saw a China- man representing those who had cleaned the country of every speck of gold that re- mained after the miners had thoroughly searched the ground. There was also a small sprinkling of Martha Washington girls and George Washington boys. Anna was the center of a group of girls. Over her bare shoulders she had thrown a beautiful shawl of exquisite workmanship. Her eyes were glowing with happiness, for already the most popular boy of her class had told her how nice she looked. The parade stopped in front of the hotel where the band played and school yells were boisterously given. On the balcony there stood a group of interested, rich tourists, who applauded the assemblage. One of the lady tourists noticed Anna and her beautiful shawl. The tourist inquired about Anna and asked to have Anna brought to her. At the end of the interview, Anna left, stunned with amazement. Her shawls, so the lady had told her, were worth a great deal of money. She knew that her mother on the small farm would have no use for the dainty shawls. The rich tourist had offered to buy two of them for a price that made Anna gasp with amazement. The money derived from these two shawls would supply her with a dainty and adequate wardrobe for the remaining years of her school life. It would also help matters very much on the farm. Anna walked in a daze back to the school where she found herself the center of attraction. Still in a daze, she heard an influential girl ask her to become a member of a club that was very popular in the school. Her cheeks were flushed to a fiery red from all the compliments she was given. Could this be true that she, little Anna, who was never asked to be in anything, to go anywhere, who was given no compliments, was given all these honors? When finally the great yellow buses again lumbered up and took on their human freight, they held one of the happiest girls in the world. The school was still full of life and gaiety. Soon, however, the merrymakers and dancers drifted by twos and threes homeward. Tomorrow would again be bustling with life and colorg now it was left deserted and silent, and as the sun sank behind the hills, it was a huge, inanimate mass of gray stone. -PERSIS W'HITTON, '29. E421 A Night ln Rawhide Valley The sun sank beneath the serrated ridges of the southern mountains, leaving a glor- ious sunset, a riot of color which painted the slopes in our rear, a beautiful reddish blue. The wonderful scene slowly faded, leaving a long, light mass of feathery clouds arching in the southern sky. A clear, crisp night breeze sprang up, setting the pines Whispering and sighing musically to themselves, their cones clizking softly and their branches creaking quietly. Far up on the fire-blackened side of the gaunt, grim mountain behind us, a coyote wailed dismally, alone. From far across the western hills there floated back an answer, soul-chilling in its terrible intensity, drifting on the wind, and rising and falling in weird and mournful cadences. The coyote was abruptly silent. The soft mantle of dust enveloped the whole place, and from near at hand, small rustlings and squawks told of the little people on their nocturnal search for a meal. A queer, dry rustling and snapping of small brittle twigs announced the pres- ence of a curious porcupine. I-Ie rolled sociably past, grunting as he went, intent on his usual evening meal of tender willow bark. A little later, an inquisitive skunk came into a little clearing and began digging and prying into odd corners, and rolling small sticks and logs out of the way in order to find what nourishment there might be under them. Shortly he moved off in quest of better feeding grounds, leaving the place te three Playful rabbits which raced and gambolled about in utter contempt of .my marauding foxes which might be in the vicinity. Away off on the Pole Line Hill, five coyotes yelped about the loss of their suppers in a way that awoke the echoes for miles around. The moon slipped over the top of the mountain into view and bathed the valley in HH enchanting silver light, making a scene of rare beauty. Three small foxes, young in Che ways of the world, protested peevishly all night. A covey of quail in the brush nearby chirped and rustled in sleepy uneasiness, as the booming cry of a big barred cwl sounded over the place. Such is the night during full moon in the Rawhide Valley. -GEOIKGE MILLER, '28. l43i The Mystery of the Sleeping Thief Dorothy Telford settled herself back in the chair at her father's desk. She sat gazing on Officer Hogan's face with disappointed blue eyes and Hogan, who had an Irishman's sympathetic heart and love of beauty, met the gaze with mingled feelings. Dorothy was twenty-four, older by several years than she looked, and very intelligent, and real thought went on under her bobbed, curly blond hair. We've nothing you might call new, Miss, Hogan admitted, but we have a lot of clues. A Dorothy laughed and Hogan smiled in sympathy. After the death of Doxothy's mother, some one had been taking her jewels from a safe in the wall of the dining room. I don't think either the gold case or the brooch would have brought more than a hundred dollars if I had tried to sell them, said Dorothy. But I'd rather have lost almost anything else in the case, because the brooch and the case have so many associa- tions, now that my father and mother are both gone. Yet the thief took them, one at a time, a week apart, and left articles worth thousands, Hogan mused aloud. That's the thing about the case that keeps us guessing. Hogan had a suspicion that one of Miss Telford's best friends who had known the combination before the death of Mrs. Telford might have been the one who had taken the jewels. Miss Telford denied such a possibility, saying that this friend was honest and trustworthy. She told Hogan that she would drop the case rather than have her friends and relations suspected. After a night's rest, Hogan came back prepared for work. He examined the room on the upper floor which offered a possible entrance. There were a number of windows overlooking the garden. These windows were covered with shrubs which could easily conceal anyone from curious passersby. Hogan finally gave up after searching long for clues. He told Miss Telford that he would stay in the house all week and would be on guard during the night. Hogan was rather sorry for himself, and his sympathy grew during the long, cold hours of the first night's vigil. As he crouched in the window seat, he peered into the dimness of the study and listened vainly for the sound of someone stirring. The black- ness and silence around him were oppressing, though from time to time he heard noises peculiar to old houses-mice scampering in the wall, and the ticking sounds of insects. It was toward four o'clock on the fifth night of watching that Hogan's patience was rewarded. He was definitely sleepy, and almost off his guard, for already he could see dawn touching the panes of the windows where he sat. No one, he was sure, would start even the mildest burglary so close to daybreak. Just as he was getting ready to steal out of the room and the house, his scalp prickled under the thrill of a discovery. Something was moving in the outer hall. Boards creaked under slowly moving feet. He straightened, tense and expectant, and L-+41 peered steadily through the narrow space between the curtains that shut him in. He saw the door open, and the next instant his breath stopped. A girl stood before him whom Hogan recognized as Miss Telford. She came in slowly and walked to the safe. There she stood for about five min- utes, then she placed her hand on thc lock and began to turn it slowly. Next she opened a drawer in the safe, and took out a small object. After taking the object from its hid- ing place, she walked toward an old desk, at which she sat and pulled out a large drawer, fumbling with something that Hogan could not see. At last she rose, moved deliberately to the door, opened it, and left the room. Hogan noticed that the eyes of Miss Telford were closed as in deep slumber. Then, as it was not quite light, he slipped out of the room with even more than his usual caution. So you've really found the thief! It was ten o'clock the same morning, and Dorothy, with shining eyes, faced Hogan in the study. And the things that were taken-have you got them back? They'll be in your hands in five minutes. Oh, how wonderful! First, will you open your father's desk for me? Why of course, said Dorothy as she swung the desk open. Why-why- she faltcred. Who put them here? You did, Miss Telford. The man spoke gently. I suppose you're joking, but I don't see theipointf' You see, you did it in your sleep! It was due to nervousness and being over- Wrought after your mother's death. After a moment, Dorothy pulled herself together and congratulated him for his hard wnrk. -.IosEPH1N12 TIR.Xl'EiLI.I.

The relay is the next event and the track lT1.L1SC be cleared. At once, boys standing along the track responded in the usual reckless manner of college boys, and succeeded in break- ing one or two hurdles before the track was open. This done, the announcer at the far end of the field shouted, Second and last call for the relay! While the call was still in the air, four blanket covered bodies moved, and then jumped to their feet. The boys were draped in large blankets with a bright yellow C showing through the folds and wrinkles. The boys moved toward the starting pits, their spikes biting into the cinders with a sound like that of the breaking of egg shells. For two successive seasons, Claxton had defeated Parmalee at the big track meet. This year the Parmalee team, the record holder in the relay, had been strengthened and had given the fans a big surprise by tying the score 74M all. The two teams were called together at the starting line, and the starter gave them instructions as to the way they should start, and how they should run on the turns. He finished by saying, I don't want anybody cutting in on the turns. All agreed. All right, boys, come to your marks. Two of the four boys stepped forward and settled themselves solidly in the holes. Get set. Crack. Two human streaks, one blue, and one red, thundered down the straightway to the first curve, arms swinging and legs pounding as fast as the second hand that was timing them. The first three men to run against Parmalee had lost nine or ten feet, and the last Parmalee man had been passed the baton before Bob Dickerman, Claxton's hope, had received his stick from his team-mate. Bob had won both the hundred and the two- twenty, but could he catch the flying heels ten feet ahead of him? He had not lost a fraction of a second in getting the baton, and was settling down into his stride. To the first turn, and the Parmalee man nine feet ahead, around the turn and eight feet. Ahead ran the red shirt. The one hundred and eighty yard mark passed, and he was still eight feet behind. They turned into the home stretch, and Bob threw back his head and drove harder than ever. A cheer went upg he was gaining. He pulled still harder, and the world answered to his efforts. His knees seemed to cave in, as the last ten yards rushed toward them with the Parmalee man but a few inches ahead now, and the finish line a few feet further on. Bob prepared himself for the final leap, he sprang ahead. Everything went black. Roars and groans came to his ears as a bucket of cold water brought him to his senses again. He was picked up, and hurled onto the shoulders of his team-mates with cheers and shouts of victory. The Hnal leap had won the relay and the championship for Claxton. --ANDY SIERRA, '27. E461 . 3 ' M 'li ' 5775- 5 E ' ' ' r , . . i a'V IT' V vfXv A Indian CharIie's I-Iat Band That part of Wyoming was low, hot, treeless, dusty most of the year, iilled with few cow towns and fewer ranches. One ranch in particular was known for miles around because of the wonderful stock and horse flesh raised and sold there. This belonged to Sid Channel, a tanned, husky, well-known, well-liked fellow, a sort of Jack of all trades, at ease in any sort of company. He was labeled a brand blotter, and everyone in Wyoming knew what that meant -hanging by a rope on the nearest tree, or death at the point of a pistol. A big black hat with a very queer hat band, once seen, never forgotten, was found alongside a steer freshly blotted from a nine double bar nine Q9Il9j to an anchored nine Hinine C91-I9, Sid's brand. For the past year, no clue had been found, and so when the least little incident offered the opportunity, most all the citizens of the small town, which numbered about Hfty, immediately proclaimed Sid the rustler. Hanging's too good fer 'im. Tar and feather him. And him pretendin, to be doin' so much toward landin' the rustler. Such impudencef' etc. was what Beth, the m,ajor's daughter, heard when she went down town. As soon as Sid heard the posse was after him, he saddled Lady Luck, his horse, and left the country--at least that's what the citizens of the cow town thought. The major roared when he talked, and Beth was often a wee bit frightened of him, but this time she firmly stood for what she knew was right. But Dad, you know Sid lost his hat and the rustler was clever enough to use it as a blind. Can't you see that and can't you do something? No, Beth, I hate to think of Sid's being guilty. He was a fine boy and I thought :1 lot of him but nothing is to be done but catch him. I've a posse out after him now with Wes Conler at the head, and if anybody'll bring him in, he will. Oh, him? He can't do it. We'll wait and see. As he started to leave the room Beth said, Well then I'll do something. Say something, Beth? No, Dad. Beth picked a book from the table and tried hard to become interested in it. How-de4do Miss Willard?', Beth swung around and saw Wes Conler with one leg over the window sill. I-I thought you were after Sid. Dad said he sent you, she said. I'm going after that hombre. Alone. When? Now, and Iill have him here by sunset tomorrow. No you won't!', Beth's eyes were shining and her chin was firm. Wes saw that she knew something. What'll you do with him, Wes, if you get him? I'll shoot him, or maybe bring him in and let the boys string- Go! Right now. Him up on a tree. Go before I call father. I H Goodby, Miss Willard. When I come back, you and me is going to be friends. Before he had finished, Beth had run from the room. Next morning saw Beth far up in the foothills riding from Keam's Canyon. Come Flinders, we've got to get there by noon. She loosened the reins as she said this. Flinders gathered speed, his belly seeming to touch the ground at each long running stride he took. Reaching the mouth of the canyon about noon, she Hrst went up on Lookout Point. She saw no one, and so started toward the cave she and Sid had E471 explored when children. Someone whistled-oh what a relief! It was Sid, for he had whistled their signal. Oh Sid, Dad sent a posse out after you, and Wes is out by himself. He was at the house last night. Dad doesn't know I'm here. I'll tell him I was over at Hauter's. Sid, what can I do? I have a few papers here, Beth, I'd like to have you leave at the sheriff's office. Beth ran her hand along Lady Luck's rump and exclaimed, Why Sid, Lady Luck seems awfully hot and tired. How long have you been here? I just got here. I had a little errand to do first. Oh! She said nothing, but thought, It's no time to ask foolish questions. I've got to go. Sid walked to the opening of the cave and as they were standing there- Whang --a bullet from a rifle buzzed over Sid's shoulder. Oh, Sid, its the posse. I was sure I saw no one when I was up on the point. Both of them dropped to the floor of the cave and slid back a few feet. They heard a rock roll behind them, and turning instantly, found themselves face to face with Wes Conler. Hands up! roared Wes. I got ya, Sid, and one move on your part means a slug in the bread basket. Sid crouched like a panther ready to spring, all the while looking over Wes's shoulder. I-Ie gave a very slight nod. Wes turned so that he could see in back of him. Sid was upon him immediately. They tumbled, wrestled, clawed scratch- ed and turned, Wes groping for his pistol, and Sid, keeping him from it. Beth, seeing his motive, kicked the pistol against the wall. Sid was much the younger and more agile, and so he slowly forced Wes down. Spit it out pronto, Wes, or I'll iron a few of the wrinkles off your map. I was over to your place last night and got a few papers I'm mighty shore you wouldnlt want Beth here, to read. Gimme my gun and an even break -- If I do give it to you I'll have ya full of holes. All right, liombrc, where's your horse? Get him, will you Beth? We're going into town pronto. There ainit any jail in town so we'll have to string you up as soon as we get there. Mmmmmm- Say something? Shut up. As they went out of the cave with Wes tied to the saddle they were greeted with the posse, who stopped and stared, for they had been waiting to see Sid conte out tied. Here, Jenkins, take Conlers in to the sheriff, and here's a few papers to give him. No ya don't. Yer comin' too, one of them replied. After much arguing and reading of the papers, which contained letters Conlers had received from men working for him, and directions he had intended to send out, the posse left with Wes ahead of them. A week later, Sid and Beth were standing on the platform waiting for the train that was to carry Beth back CLlSt to school, when Sid said, Little Pal, I know now who are my friends and we aren't, thanks to you and my lost hat. Will you take the hat band? I know it isn't much, but Old Injun Charlie made it for me and I'd like you to have it. Oh, Sid, thanks so much. It will keep me from being lonesome at school. Here comes my train. Sid helped her on the car and then shaking hands, holding her hand a little longer than was polite, he said, Goodbye, I Goodbye, Sid, I'll write often-and Sid? drawing his ear over near her she whis- pered, meet me here at Christmas with Flinders and Lady Luck. Goodbye. --BERNICE Human. E431 Conchita It was early morning. The old Mexican city of Matamoras was just beginning to bestir itself, preparatory to enduring another breathless day. On the outskirts of the city in the old Catholic cemetery, Conchita made her way among the weather-worn tombs and negiected graves toward the one that bore her mother's name. In her hands she Carried a potted geranium with a single crimson blossom. Standing before the unpre- tentious little tomb of whitewashed brick, she crossed herself, knelt and placed the plant on the door-sill. Kneeling there she unconscious y rea t me 1 p 1-Opez, Age 68 yr. and 3 mo. Died September 17, 1908. Two tears escaped from the black eyes and rolled unheeded down the brown cheeks. Oh, why hadn't she been buried On American soil where one is not compelled to pay rent for one's grave? In the most distant corner of the grave yard, looming high above the intervening tombs, she could see the white walls that surrounded the bone-pile. Struggling to her fcet she walked slowly towards that place of horror, and climbing the steps tothe top of the wall, looked down at the great heap of bones at her feet. The grinning skulls seemed to leer at her and mingled with the sun-bleached bones were rosaries and cruci- fixes. Conchita shuddered and with a dry sob fled down the crumbling steps. Hastening among the tombs in the early sunshine, she came upon two Mexicans, l d l 'nscri tion on the door: Maria Stephana Caretakers of the cemetery, who were opening the door of a Weather-beaten vault. Drawing near, she stopped. She knew why they were opening the door, but nevertheless she asked: Why are you opening the tomb, senors? Surprised, the men turned and stared at her. It was early for visitors. With approving glances at her fresh dark bflauty, the younger one finally replied: They do not pay the rent, senorita, so the bones must go to the bone-pile. The times are hard and we have much of this to dof' As she hurried beneath the pretentious gateway and out into the narrow street, she thought of the reply of the caretaker. Times were surely hardg especially when Clle must support a gambling and cock-fighting father. As she thought of her father, a hot blush of anger swept over her face and her dark eyes flashed. She hated him, that Worthless Mexican who did not care whether his wife's bones lay bleaching in the sun. How was she to get the money to pay the rent? There was but a month left and if the money were not paid, the caretakers-Conchita trembled and put her hands over her eyes in a vain attempt to shut out the vision of the bone-pile. She must think this thing out. The money must be paid. She turned off the narrow street with its cobble stones and red brick sidewalks into the city plaza. Finding a secluded bench, she sat down to think. Of course there was her drawn-work, but she had little chance of selling any of that with so much compe- tition on the other side of the Rio Grande where no duties must be paid. To be sure she might appeal to her dear old friend Captain jim Kemp, customs officer on the American side, but that would be the last way, she told herself. Late in the afternoon when the heat was less intense and the cool gulf breeze was beginning to stir the leaves, Conchita sat on the ground on the shady side of the adobe hut grinding the meal for tortillas. As she ground steadily away on the hard grey l 49 l stone, she thought of a plan. Early in the morning she would take some vegetables from her tiny garden to the free market in Brownsville. To be sure, the earnings would be small, but this would be far better than sitting and idly waiting. She would not tell Captain Jim, she decided, until all other hopes were abandoned. She knew he would gladly help her, but she had her suspicions as to the size of his fortune, and Captain Jim was an old man. Almost before the sun was up, Conchita arose and prepared a hasty breakfast for herself. In the corner, on his bed on the floor, her father lay with his mouth open. By his side was an empty pulque bottle. She stooped over him and shook him roughly. He scowled, closed his mouth and turned over on his side. She gazed at him in disgust and finally extracted a few Mexican coins from his pocket. With her basket of fresh vegetables under her arm, she hurried to the car line where the poor little burro had already commenced his daily labor of pulling the small trolley car to and from the river. This morning she was the only passenger other than the aged driver who looked almost as patient and hopeless as the little burro itself. The journey on the car completed, she chose a seat in the far end of the rowboat and placed her basket at her feet. As the two sturdy Mexicans pulled on their oars she gazed at the winding Rio Grande and thought how enchanting it would be to float down this river on a barge, like the beautiful Senorita Elaine that Captain Jim, had told her about. She was startled out of her day-dream when the boat bumped against the wharf on the American side. She scrambled to her feet, picked up her basket and climbed the stairs to the top of the bank. Captain Jim stood just outside the little white customs house reading the morning paper. Conchita slipped stealthily up behind him and blew gently on the back of his tanned and wrinkled neck. Captain jim shrugged his shoulders and continued his reading. Conchita blew again and with such force that the grey hairs parted and stood on end. The old man turned around and was startled by Conchita's merry laughter. Oh, you are so interested, Captain Jim, that you do not know I am here, she laughed. Well! Well! 'Dulce,' cried the old fellow, in glad surprise. What are you doing over here so early? Going to market? You're a thrifty little mouse, you are. Yes, and I must hurry if I want a good place. I'll visit with you on my way back if you aren't too busy reading an old newspaper, she laughed as she hurried along the board walk towards the depot. She hastened through the park and past the collection of delapidated hacks with their negro and Mexican drivers waiting for the early morning train, and on to the worn brick sidewalks of a narrow cross street. Soon she came in sight of the noisy market place. The Mexicans were busy arranging their wares. Frightened little kids bleated their alarm and chickens squawked with fear. Old women were unloading vegetables from huge two-wheeled cars while the patient oxen munched their scant supply of hay. Conchita found a vacant place between a flower vender and some old women who were selling drawnwork. She arranged her vegetables and sat down on the hard-packed ground with her back to the red brick wall. U01 On one side the flower dealer was whistling La Paloma as he deftly picked off the withered leaves and arranged his plants. On the other side the old women were gossiping and quarreling as they sat huddled in a group, their wrinkled brown faces the onl art of them visible from out of their black shawls. Y P Idly she began to listen to their conversation, but soon she heard something that aroused her interest. One wrinkled old dame told of an American senora, a Mrs. Ste- ' l bl set. phen Douglas, staying at the Miller Hotel, who wished to buy a drawn wort ta e She was willing to pay a good price but she was particular as to the design. In fact, ' h this senora was no other than the wife of the Americano who was constructing t c bridge. While the old women gossiped over this bit of news Conchita's agile brain had been doing some record thinking. She could scarcely wait until her vegetables were sold. When at last her basket was empty, she scrambled to her feet and, with the empty basket on her arm, darted past the flower dealer's stall. She hesitated and then purchased a single scarlet rose and pinned it to the front of her rusty black gown. It was a shameless extravagance she told herself as she hastened up the busiest street Of the old Spanish town. Leaving her basket in a grocery store, s e astene p best hotel at that time. She inquired in the lobby for Mrs. h h d on u the street toward the Miller Hotel, Brownsville's Douglas and was led out into a flower-scented court where a white clad figure sat be- neath the share of a banana plant, reading a bright covered magazine. Conchita timid- ly approached her and in a low musical voice inquired: Are you Senora Douglas? A surprised and attractive face looked up at her. The senora was very beautiful, thought Conchita. Yes, I am Mrs. Douglas, replied the senora when she had overcome her surprise. Did you wish to see me? Then Conchita told her the cause of her errand. She wished to make the table set for the senora and in any design that she might wish. She would deliver it within a month. Would the senora allow her to make it? She was in very great need for a certain sum of money. Might she make it? While the girl talked excitedly on in her low musical voice the older woman watch- ed the play of emotions on her sensitive face and thought the child very lovely indeed. Conchita waited breathlessly for her answer and when it came, great tears of joy crept into the black eyes and slipped down the flushed cheeks. Later, when she recrossed the river, Captain jim's eyes fondly followed her, and he wondered what had happened to make her so happy. It was almost daybreak. Conchita lay on her bed on the floor, her black eyes staring into the cold dismal light of the dawn. She could see the dark outline of her father Where he slept in the opposite corner. The early morning stillness was broken only by the occasional crowing of a rooster and her father's heavy breathing. All through the long hours of the night she had been staring into the darkness and thinking. For the past month she had labored almost incessantly on the table cloth. She had worked until her fingers ached and her eyes burned. She had felt so relieved and happy at first. But last night as she lay in bed planning the delivery of the table set, E511 the awful thought came to her that if it were taken across the river, a duty must be paid. All her effort for nothing, and the rent due on the next day! But as the long night wore on and dawn drew near, she decided upon a plan. As soon as the sun was up, she arose and placed the work in the bottom of her basket. Over it she folded an old newspaper and above the paper arranged some vegetables. Then she crossed the river. But this time when she met Captain Jim, she told him she was on her way to market with a few vegetabls, and did not stop to visit, but hastened along the board walk towards the Miller Hotel. Captain Jim looked thoughtfully after her. He had not seen Conchita for almost a month and yet she had hardly spoken to him, But perhaps his little girl had been ill and was not feeling well. Well, he would talk to her when she recrossed the river. But, an hour later, when Conchita returned down the boardwalk and past the little customs house, she seemed in even greater haste than before. She slipped by Captain Jim almost before he saw her, and then called a cheery good-bye from the moving boat. Captain Jim gazed after her with a puzzled expression on his wrinkled face. What could have happened to Conchita? Why did she act so queerly? The sky was brilliant with stars. Two persons sat on the steps of the tiny white customs house. They could hear the lapping of the water on the banks of the Rio Grande as it hastened on to the gulf. From across the river came the faint strains of music, for it was band concert night in Matamoras. Nearby, the great switch engine panted and groaned at intervals, and sometimes a bell jangled disturbingly. Conchita placed her hand on Captain jim's knee and went on with tears in her voice. So you see, I deceived you, Captain Jim, and stole from the government. But my little mother's grave is paid for and I am here to be arrested for smuggling. Captain Jim took the tousled black head between his work roughed hands, and kissed away the tears on the flushed brown cheeks. With a fatherly little chuckle, he replied: There, now, 'Dulce,' if you cry any more I shall throw you into the river. Your old captain will settle this little matter with Uncle Sam. But, he added sternly, the next time you try to smuggle your troubles past Captain Jim you will get into serious trouble, indeed. -LILA SIMPSON, '29. E521 Taken from A Tree by Joyce I pray fha!

To have all things harmonize with the spirit of the day, the students and teachers who attended the party were made jokes of, for the benefit of the Seniors. The fun started at the very front door. Upon entering, the guests were invited to climb a greased slide in order to reach their first safe landing. From there, they passed Con their kneesj through dark tunnels which were put through the main hall. The tunnels led the jokes to the stage in the auditorium where barrels were covered with undertaker's green grass carpet. Oh yes, everything was pleasingly pleasant! Gasping for breath, they made another attempt. Out came one and then another, and so on, till we saw the barrels give a sudden jerk. Someone was being held up by someone else or had died from the excitement or from shock. The top of the tunnels were being hammered upon and our guests began to think that the building was crashing down upon them. Miss Long, Qyou all know her, don't you?j got stuck somewhere between the front door and the stage. Wliere? Nobody knows. Miss Turner and Miss Geen stood the torture quite well, but I do believe that if Mr. Beeman had not been there to console and cheer them up by saying, There, there, you're all right, they never could have re- covered. Miss Knight and Miss Lindsey got their usual thrill out of that part of it, just as they do from most any sport. Miss Ranley came out with a look of satisfaction, Mr. Dawson upset the tables by going into reverse and coming through feet first. His wife remarked, after she made her way through, Now I know Miss Long can make it. Miss Smelser, so very petite, came through without a struggle. Miss Campbell lost her marcel somewhere on the last lap. Last, but not least, Mr. Dunlavy, the father of us all, popped out minus a coat. I believe he was the wisest, as always. Costumes of all descriptions were worn by the large majority. Dancing and card playing were the main features of the evening, with time out for a short program and delicious refreshments. ' The last dance over and the Rook prizes distributed, a reluctant crowd bade one another good night, voting the party a signal success. - -NADINE COLVIN, '27.

I S5 Tuolumne County A ctusrta or w1owAMs'- The vices and virtues of many nations have been displayed in the conquest of Tuolumne county, which commenced, as is recorded, when a party of Philadelphians came to Woods Creek. It was at this time that the western slope had begun to resound with the blows of the hardy gold seekers. The prime object of the search-gold, proved a sufficient incentive to stay their progress, and so Tuolumne county was founded. The next settlement was that of a party of Mexican miners, who settled at Sonoran Camp, now Sonora, the county SCLIE of Tuolumne county. Others came in and many mining camps sprang up bringing Tuolumne county into existence almost over night. Tuolumne county is situated in the heart of the mother lode. It has favorable cli- mate and soil, flourishing markets, adequate educational and religious opportunities. It is a natural playground for lovers of out-of-door life, from the perpetual snows on the highest peaks to the floor of its green valleys and its crystal clear, silvery, rushing streams. Tuolumne county is famous as the home of Bret Harte and Mark Twain. Their log cabins are still standing, visited regularly by many tourists. Wliere gold mining was once the chief industry, lumbering now holds first place. Lumber is extensive in quantity and excellent in quality. Two big plants under one head carry on this enterprise, which includes the manufacture of boxes, doors, and windows, as well as the sawing and preparing of boards. Other industries are fruit growing, marble and granite quarrying and stock rais- ing. It is the Tuolumne Big Red Apple that is supplanting the old surface gold crop harvested by pioneers. Two marble quarries are producing a vast tonnage of the highest grade of marble. A limestone quarry, equipped with mammoth kilns, produces a superior grade of lime. The oldest cider vinegar plant on the coast is in Tuolumne county. It was established in the early 'S0's and is working today. It supplies a trade that demands cider vinegar and ginger ale of a superior order that go to almost every part of the world. Tuolumne county is well dotted with beautiful towns and villages, and from Yosemite park and valley extending from the southeast to the summit of Sonora pass, on the northeast, it is a mountain country of ideal climate and beautiful scenery, where there are good Hshing and hunting, giant trees, sparkling lakes, fine camp sites and restful resorts. Tuolumne county has a very good system of highways, many fine bridges, and a railroad that runs through the heart of the country. It is well equipped with tele- graph and telephone lines. Taking it all in all, Tuolumne county is a progressive county, which nevertheless, still retains much of the mystery and romance of its past. -VICTORIA DONDERO, '27. U61 I' 5 i 4 .

The assembly was decorated with beautiful pastel shades of crepe paper draped artistically from the center, and large bunches of ferns and autumn leaves were used as stage decorations. The program consisted of a vocal solo by Lillian Heniker, a toe dance by Sophronia Burns, a piano solo by Rowena Hardin, stunt by Elva Flanders and Helen Cui-ren, and 21 violin solo by Glen Herzer. Following the program, music was furnished for dancing, after which refreshments were served. Then Mr. Ruoff of the Central drug store brought in his camera and all looked pretty for a flashlight picture. Honor Assembly An assembly was called on Thursday, February 10th, in order to give a farewell address to Miss Ritchie, and to welcome our new teacher, Miss Geen. Helen Curren was in charge of the assembly. Wilson Meyer gave a very fitting rlddrcss for the occasion and Robert Lanka, in behalf of the Green and Gold staff, pre- Sfnted Miss Ritchie with a bar pin. At noon, the same day, the Junior class gave a luncheon in her honor. -CLARABELLE LONGWAY. W1 fi ity 'Niki' xr 1' if Old Clothes Day On Old Clothes Day, held October 12, I came to school feeling and looking like a daughter of old Spain. My exalted feeling was due, no doubt, to the daring dress of red silk and old Spanish lace which I wore, and to the high, intricate comb in my hair, covered with a frothy mantilla. Surely, the senoritas of Spain never looked more charming than I, I breathed ecstatically. Just wait till I get to school. Won't the girls envy me and the boys sit up and take notice? I smirked inwardly. So much for my vain thought for when I reached school I found to my disillusionment, that I was only one among many. Our institution of knowledge was swarming with such a group as must have lived in the old Spanish town of Sonora. Girls were becomingly clad in picturesque Spanish costumes of gorgeous, colorful tones that vied with nature in supplying warmth and color to their faces. The boys were in their element-dressed in disreputable costumes of miners, desperados, Spanish senors, and gamblers. Even the teachers had caught the spirit of the day and turned aside from dame fashion's calling to don appropriate gowns. Miss Lindsey, Miss Turner, and several others wore beautiful Spanish shawls. I am afraid that none of us studied much that morning, but how could we with our teachers and classmates in such unusual attire? At eleven o'clock, our kind mentor, Mr. Dunlavy, rang the longed-for bell and pandemonium broke loose. But not for long-one of our classmates with a firm and authoritative voice, organized us into a motley parade in back of the school, from where we were to march down town. Sending four horsemen down ahead to announce our coming, we broke upon the view of the townspeople in a noisy, happy bizzare serpentire. I am sure they must have gathered from our shoutings, news of the Spanish lunch to be served in the gym at 12:30. At any rate the Lions Club and the Aronos Club were there to enjoy, fas they said they did,j the program given them under Virginia Burton's management. One noteworthy performance was the mock bullfight with Charles Emery as the dash- ing toreador, and Earnest Olivera and Vernon Vezzani as the improvised buill. The audience rocked with laughter when the daring reckless hero slew the maddened bull and was rewarded with a tremulous, loving glance from his lady love. After luncheon the throng was enticed to dancing by our school orchestra. Some of us, however, went out to take pictures. Mr. Rouff took groups of us with his moving picture camera, much to the dismay of those who were camera shy. - Then followed some dashing horseback stunts. Some of our fellows unbent so far as to mount that most humble of four-legged creatures-the donkey. As the afternoon began to wane, I went slowly and sadly home because I knew that on the next Old Clothes' Day that Sonora High indulged in, I should not be among its groups of Spanish girls, preachers, cowboys, and miners. -HELEN CLVIKREN, '27.

A series of plays have been given by the public speaking class in addition to the usual annual class plays given by the junior and Senior classes.

Howard Goel: The Florist Shop was coached by Miss Turner, the public speaking teacher. lt was a comedy in one act by Winfred I-Iawkridge and was first presented on December 1, 1926 at the Sonora theatre in connection with an operetta, i'Freshies, given by the high school band. On December 9, 1926, the same program was given at the high schools in Ripon and Escalon. In Angels Camp, on the night of December 13, 1926, the same entertainment was again repeated. Maude is the principal character in the play and it is about her that the interest centers. Margarite Trewartha very cleverly acted her part, thereby contributing a great deal to the play's success. The other members of the cast are also deserving of spe- cial mention. Why The Chimes Rang Holger ,,...,... Sfeen s............ ,s.., Uncle Berfel ,,.,.,. Woman .....,., Priest ..., ,....

The lighting effect was especially good. Those responsible for its success deserve much credit. The parts of Holger, Steen, Uncle Bertel, and Old Woman were very difficult, but the people acting them did exceptionally well. uBab99 The Junior class play, presented at the Sonora theatre February 9, 1927, had the following cast of characters: Leila Archibald .rt.

Alberf Davizlson Babu is a comedy in four acts by Edward Childs Carpenter from the novel by Mary Roberts Rinehart. Act I opens in the Archibald's country home. Bab is generally misunderstood at home. Her mother most of all does not realize that she has grown up and is no longer a child. Acts II, III and IV elaborate this misunderstanding of Bab which is gradually evolved into a delightful climax. The part of Bab portrayed by Marguerite Trewartha was more than adequately filled. Everyone felt sorry for Eddie Perkins- his parents were too poor to provide him with garters. Our sympathies reached a cli- max when he became so ill from smoking cigars that he had to beat a hasty retreat. Because of illness, Earl Parker was unable to appear when the play was given in Sonora, so james Sullivan took his place and did very well, especially when the short time he had to learn the part is taken into consideration. This same cast, with the exception of james Sullivan, presented Babu in Tuolumne on March 25, 1927. By this time Earl Parker was well and resumed the character of William.

It is the part of Shakespeare's A Mid-Summer Night's Dream in which some simple guildsmen perform for the edification of the nobles. Pyramus and Thisbe were the fearful lovers who were separated by the vile wall. Thisbe dropped her mantle and the fierce Lion seized it. Lion dropped the mantle then roared his way out and Pyramus came upon the sccnc. When he found his fair Thisbe's mantle covered with blood he stabbed himself. The climax was reached when Thisbe found Pyramus dead. Neighbors Elva Flanders Andean Mitchell .. ....s Hilda Blackburne Wilson Meyer .

Eleanor Keefe At a special school assembly held on April 8, 1927, these two plays were given. They were enjoyed by the students as well as by visitors. They were both one act comedies presented by the public speaking class and coached by Miss Turner. The little green hat worn by Chester Nichols is much coveted by many students because of its fine appearance. When he came upon the stage with the above mentioned top piece, he received a hearty welcome from the audience. The play joint Owners In Spain was very successful because each actress per- formed naturally.

Helen Curren .- Nadine Colvin Dan Munn james Wfulf Martin Valponi jack. Kearney Rose Phillipps Sophronia Burns The play was very interesting and kept everyone guessing as to what the outcome would be. Helen Curren, as the little boy, acted her part very cleverly. Dan Munn had a part entirely new to him, that of a grouchy man who coull not be bothered by children at play. Members of the public speaking class are preparing The Golden Doom' for presen tation before the public speaking class. The class presentation is due to the difficulty of creating a proper stage settm, foi a public appearance. Captain Applejaclc Given by the Senior class. The characters of the ca st are!

After the concert, Bret Harte presented a one-act comedy entitled, Not Quite Such A Goose. The play was enjoyed by all because of its rich humor. After the play, the Highland Fling was presented by four Bret Harte girls. The last thing on the program was a farce entitled, The Last Rehearsal. The Girls' League tendered the visitors a reception. MANTECA A quartet of Manteca High School boys offered several enjoyable numbers. Principal Linn of Manteca High gave a very interesting and instructive address on Wl1at Are You Wortli? Miss Douglas, English teacher at Manteca High School, gave an amusing reci- tation, A History Lesson on 1492. Three pupils presented a parody on a favorite opera, which was enjoyed by all. Cherie and Hushabye were sung in duet by two girls. A very amusing comedy entitled An Apartmentn was presented by Manteca students. The Highland Fling was then danced by a girl sudent. The closing presentation was a medley of songs played on the piano by a gifted Manteca girl. TUOLUMNE-SUMMERVILLE HIGH Sci-tool. Sonora High School band opened the program with a concert. The music students of Summerville High School then presented A Bit o' Blarney which was appropriate to St. Patrick's Day. The parts were so Well done that everyone greatly enjoyed the entertainment. ESCALON This assembly was held on April 21, 1927, in the high school assembly hall. The Boys' Glee Club of Escalon High sang two songs for the opening number. The singing was enjoyed by everyone. Mr. Clark, principal of Escalon High, sang Elsie Schultzenheim and I. Such a hearty encore was awarded him that he sang another number entitled, Bill McClusky. Two cornet solos were played by George Flood, a school student. The concluding performance on the program was a one-act farce entitled Two Crooks and A Lady.

HOWARD GOELZ, '27. wi Music The Sonora High has a very fine music department this year, consisting of a girls' chorus, a band and orchestra, and a harmony department. Miss Turner, who directs the girls' chorus, has been working hard with the girls, teaching them not only to sing, but also the fundamentals of music. Credit is also due Mr. Ensign for his fine work with the band and orchestra. Both these groups have played for many of the year's activities. The band is going to San Francisco Boys' Week to compete for the Class B award, the winners of this contest re- ceiving a cup and a trip to either Council Bluffs or Kansas City. The boys and girls have been working hard and have made up their minds to win, and we know they will if the school stands by them. Besides leading band and orchestra, Mr. Ensign is harmony instructor, teaching first and second year harmony. The school is very proud of the progress being made along this line of study, and anyone who has musical talent should not fail to have it developed in these departments. -HELEN THOM, '29, GIRLS, Ci-ionus H81 Art Department The art department of the Sonora Union High School has devoted its chief efforts to batik and figure work. Although no placques were turned out this year, some ex- ceptionally fine linolcum cuts and very humorous cartons were produced. At Christ- mas time, the art department made a display in the high school hall of their holiday cards and some gift boxes, which were carved in various artistic designs. Virginia Burton was awarded the scholarship of the California School of Fine Arts for 1926, and Constance Emery won honorable mention. The art work for the annual this year was contributed by the third year students of the art department. 1MARGARITE TREWARTPIA, ,28. CAMP FIRE GIRLS I 69 J 70 BAND ORCHESTRA Alumni Twenty-two years ago, when Sonora was just a small town, the high school was in a part of the court house. It had a graduating class of two students. The more ambitious business men were anxious to have a school building which would accomodate many students who wished to continue their course. Those who were from neighboring towns would not have to consider their school days over, but they would be able to attend the Sonora Union High School. Many wonderful improvements have been made since 1905 and we are proud to be able to tell you where some of our alumni are and what they are doing.

After our organization had been in existence for a short while, we learned of the an- nual Girls' League convention to be held in Visalia, 210 miles from Sonora. In order to learn more of the intricate problem of such an organization, the first four officers went to the convention. We found the Visalia girls very hospitable inas- much as some of the girls took us into their own homes. One unforgettable feature of the convention was an inspiring talk given by the Dean of Women of the University of Southern California, which was appreciated every bit as much as the varied and delightful entertainment provided. Most of the high schools of the San Joaquin valley were represented at Visalia. In order to make the school realize our presence and possibilities, we gave several parties, which were held ninth periods, for the purpose of getting acquainted with one another. We are hoping that if we throw the torch, our successors will catch it and carry on with the Girls' League. --JUANITA Omit, '27.

Our boys had had only two weeks' training and, as we were to battle the hitherto unseored-on Butte Tigers, we entered the game as the under dogs. Sonora Hi emerged victorious with a score of 19 to 0, being the only team to shut out the Tigers from scoring for several years. The game was played on the local field. Ostcbcr 15, 1926 SONORA vs. MAN'ri-:ca H1 The game with Manteca proved to be a much harder fought battle than the first game with Jackson. Sonora Hi encountered the Manteea boys without their fullback, Andy Sierra, but Martin Valponi played a bang-up ganie in his place. At the end of the half the score was 6 to 0 in our favor. Andy Sierra went in in the second half, despite an injured finger, and piloted the boys to another touchdown. Earl Dobbins, a Freshman, showed some promising football ability. Manteca was within scoring distance several times, but Sonora I-Ii buckled down and held them. October 29, 1926 SONORA vs. OAKDALE October 29, the Sonora Hi team journeyed to Oakdale to play their team. The Sonora team had not been scored on so far, but were prepared for a hard battle. The field was soft and sandy and the Sonora boys were considerably slowed down. As a result the first half ended with both teams fighting hard and the score 0 to 0. The third quarter Sonora came back and scored a touchdown on a reverse play, absolutely fooling the Oakdale boys. Soon after, Sonora scored a field goal and another touchdown, swamping the Oakdale team. The team in general played very well in this game. SONORA 9, PLEASANTON 0 This game was Sonora's fourth shut-out and it looked as if they were going through the season undefeated. The game was on Armistice Day and both teams were handicapped by the muddy field. The visitors had a good passing attack although they didn't score. Some of the players changed their suits between halves because of the mud. The game was hard fought and both teams showed true sportsmanship. Thanksgiving SONORA 11, COURTLAND 0 This last game of Sonora Hi, played on Thanksgiving Day, proved to be their hardest one of the season, although the Courtland warriors did not score. The field was wet and muddy, making long runs almost impossible although Valponi, Sonora halfback, made a nice run to a touchdown. I 77 1 This was the last game for several of the teamls members and they surely fought hard all the time. Before the starting whistle, Coach Dawson called the boys together and gave them a talk which will not be forgotten for some time. The game was largely attended and true sportsmanship was shown by the follow- ers of each team. Gold footballs were promised the players by the chamber of commerce if they went thru the season undefeated, so it looks as though several football boys will be sporting new fobs in a few days.

The seconds went down to a 22 to 7 defeat at the hands of the Oakdale seconds. The Sonora second team, although inexperienced showed flashes of good playing and look- ed promising. SONORA FIRST TEAM ls-OAKDALE 14 The heavyweight game proved to be a different story. It was a game of thrills from start to Hnish with both teams alternating in the lead until Dick Richards sunk the winning basket. The Oakdale team played good ball but were outfought from the first by the So- nora team. january 7, 1927 SONORA SECONDS 24-SAN ANDREAS SECONDS S ' The second team avenged their defeat at Oakdale by completely swamping the San Andreas seconds 24 to S. The San Andreas five were outplayed at every turn. Russel Boyd was high point man for Sonora with twelve markers to his credit. SONORA FIRST 34-SAN ANDREAS 9 The first team game was a repetition of the second team but with a higher score. Andy Sierra would get the tip off from center and one of the forwards would imme- 1791 0 diately sink it. The court was small and the Sonora boys didn't get going until the last three quarters, but once they started they didn't stop. Richards and Francis, forwards, divided honors with eight points apiece. The Sonora High first team clearly and decisively trounced the San Andreas All Stars in a contest on the local gym, to a score of 44-0. Coach Dawson ran in all of his second string men, who managed to score a few goals on the San Andreas play- ers. In the last few minutes the first team went in again, and speedily increased their already overwhelming lead. The San Andreas team furnished only a good workout for Sonora quintet. ANGELS SECONDS 22-SONORA SECONDS 4 January 21, 1927 The Sonora seconds took an awful drubbing at the hands of the Angels seconds on this date. The first half ended in a merry-go-round for the Angles five with the score 18 to 4 in their favor. In the second half the Sonora boys solved their offense and held them to two field goals but were unable to score. SONORA FIRSTS 19-ANCELs 9 The game between the two first teams proved to be much harder fought than the previous game. The Sonora quintet launched a powerful offensive drive that lasted throughout the game. This was the first game that the Sonora boys had succeeded in winning from Angels in about three years. Sierra, forward, was high point man with nine markers to his credit while Nicholls, center, followed closely with seven points. January 28, 1927 SONORA SECOND TEAM 11-TUOLUMNE SECOND TEAM 18 The Tuolumne second team defeated the Sonora seconds in a hotly contested battle on the Tuolumne floor. The Sonora five were leading at the end of the half 8 to 4 but were swept off their feet in the last minutes of play by the Tuolumne quintet. SONORA Fmsrs 23--TUOLUMNE 19 The first team game was a different story. The local team's fast snappy plays bewildered the Tuolumne five and Coach Dawson gave his substitutes a chance. The Sonora boys were somewhat handicapped by the slippery floor. February 4, 1927 SONORA SECONDS vs. ANGELs SECONDS The Sonora second team avenged themselves on the Angels second team by defeat- ing them on the local floor by a score of 19 to 13. Sonora clearly outplayed their op- ponents and had many shots at the basket. ' SONORA Fmsrs 36-ANGELS 17 The Sonora first team completely swamped the Angels five, in this game, scoring almost at will. The fast work of Sierra and Captain Francis and the work of Nicholls at center, teamed with the excellent guarding of Munn and Mahoney were the features of the game. H11 February 5, 1927 SONORA SECONDS lf-MANTECA SECONDS 13 This game on the local floor proved to be a thriller. It was anybody's game until the third quarter when Manteca gained a 10 to 6 lead. The Sonora five got down to work and the score was tied at the end of the game. After a hotly contested extra five minutes the Sonora five won out 15 to 13. SONORA Fiasrs ls-MANTECA 19 This game was the first out of fourteen straight games that the Sonora five lost. The Sonora boys were leading at the end of the half but in the third quarter they could not get going. They had plenty of fight but the effects of the game the night before were telling on them and they did not work in their usual fast and snappy fashion. It was a very hard defeat because it was clearly the better team that lost. February 11, 1927 SONORA SECoNDs 12-ESCALON SECONDS 24 The seconds lost this game on Escalon's court. Their defense was poor, and the work of Melvin Barron standing guard, was greatly missed. SONORA FIRST TEAM 22-EsCALoN 18 This game showed that Sonora Hi could go out on a dirt court and continue their usual first rate game of basketball. Everyone of the team contributed to the score, Val- poni, Francis, and Richards scoring six points apiece. February 18, 1927 SONORA SECONDS 18--TUOLUMNE SECONDS 24 The Tuolumne second team defeated the Sonora seconds on the local floor. Their fast attack was too much for the local team, although the score was 10 to 10 at half time. SONORA H1 33-TUOLUMNE I-I1 20 This was the second defeat given the Tuolumne team by the Sonora quintet this season. The last game was even more impressive than the first, the local team featur- ing in flashy team work that easily outclassed their opponents. Martin Valponi was high point man with ten points. February 25, 1927 SONORA SECONDS 10-ESCALON SECONDS 7 The second team wiped out their defeat at the hands of the Escalon seconds by trimming them on the local floor. The game was hard fought and interesting through- out. Dobbins was high point man with two goals to his credit. February 25, 1927 SONORA H1 35-ESCALON HI The Sonora team again defeated the Escalon team, this time on the local floor and by a larger score. The local five used all of their plays to good effect. Captain Ralph Fran- cis was high with 10 markers and was followed by Sierra with seven. March 1, 1927 SONORA I-I1 20-RIPON Hx 9 This game was hotly contested and it was only machine-like precision and the spirit to win that enabled the Sonora boys to win. The Ripon team worked well but couldn't stand the pace maintained by the local five. Sierra and Nicholls were high men with three baskets apiece. im March 1, 1927 SONORA SECONDS 26-RIPON SECONDS 14 The second team came to life in this game and piled up a score that their oppon- ents couldn't overtake even with the help of two of the first team members. Meyers was high with an excellent mark of 9 points. March 8, 1927 SONORA SECONDS ll-PLEASANTON SECONDS 10 This was a very hard battle and the Sonora team staved off a last minute rally to win by a close margin. Dobbins was high man with six points. SONORA HI 5-PLEASANTON H1 11 This was the local teams second defeat of the season and was caused by something that would unnerve any team. Captain Francis broke a bone in his ankle and was unable to continue. The Pleasanton boys took advantage of thc momentary oppor- tunity and outscored the Sonora boys. March 9, 1927 SONORA SECONDS 16-PLEASANTON SECONDS 8 The second team repeated their victory over the Pleasanton team, defeating them by a larger margin. Every member was on his toes and fighting spurred on by the thought that they were dubbed to lose the game. Herold was high man with 8 points. March 9, 1927 SONORA HI 13--PLEASANTON 8 The Sonora boys came out on the floor with fire in their eyes and a do-or-die spirit to win, which they did. Spurred on by their teammates and the sight of their crippled captain on the sidelines, they put up a fight that couldn't be beaten. As a result, they avenged defeat and came out on the long end of the score. The last four games were played on the Pleasanton courts, a trip of about ninety miles. The Sonora team and cohorts were treated courteously by their hosts and enjoyed themselves immensely. This ends the season of a string of victories for the first team, and a successful record for the seconds. Center .,..,......,.....

Some of the fore- most men in Class A division are: Kearney, javeling Sierra, pole vault, Richards, shot put, Nicholls in the discus throw, and Sullivan, high jump. The best men in B Class are: Oliviera, mile, Dobbins, pole vault, Moyle, shot put and discus. All of these boys made points in their divisions and those who don't graduate pro- mise to be stellar performers next year. In a dual meet with Oakdale, Sonora was defeated but several of her A and B class men turned in good performances. The A class men that took honors were: jack Kearney in the javeling Sierra in the pole vault, and Nicholls in the discus. The B class men who placed were Moyle, shot put and discusg Dobbins in the pole vault, and Oliviera in the mile run. These boys also took places in the sectional meet at Lodi, with Kearney taking first place in the javelin throw. Saturday, April 30, Coach Dawson took his two star men, Sierra and Kearney, up to Chico, to the C. I. F. meet. Sierra took first in the pole vault, doing ll ft. 3 in., and Kearney broke the C. I. F. record in the javelin, hurling the spear 172 ft. 6 in., beating the record by 6 ft. This was also further than the state record of 171 feet, but as the meet was not a state meet, the record does not stand. In taking these two first places, Sonora outpointed several of the larger sectional schools including Stockton, Sacramento, and Lodi. In a triangle meet between Sonora, Angels and Tuolumne, Sonora is favored to win, but will be given a close run by the other two schools. The meet is to be held Tuesday, May 3, but as the copy for the Green and Gold goes in before this date, we cannot print the results. Angus!

We formed a new Girls' Athletic Association on October 1, 1926 in order to create better sportsmanship and also to enable more girls to receive awards. The officers elected were: President, Aneglina Bonavia, vice-president, Marie Sullivan: and secretary-treasurer, Delia Carboni. We also elected an executive committee consisting of Angelina Bonavia, Julia Franco, Joy Sullivan, Eva Bonavia and Aileen Schreeb. On November 11, 1926, the association gave the football squads a banquet. The Table was beautifully decorated with our school colors-green and gold. The football used in the season's games was placed in the center of the table, surrounded by American flags. After the banquet, Mr. Dawson and various members of the football squads WCI'C called upon to give speeches.

BASKETBALL TEAM l87l Our Yell Leaders Elva Flanders, chosen by the student body as yell leader for the year 1927, has very creditably justified the confidence placed in her by her fellow students. The spirit of her enthusiasm was felt and carried along the line and was n winning factor not only in games at home but also in those attended in other towns. In the early part of the year she was ably assisted by Nicholas Corletto and Jessie Booth, and later Ernest Oliviera and Vernon Vezzani added their cleverness and pep. We learned many new and interesting yells and a song, and new ways to yell thc old ones. An innovation this year, which will be for the pleasure of future students, was the providing for a large pennant from the money raised at games by selling caps and small pennants. -FRANCES IVLALLARD, '27. mi 1 JOKES A Sojzb saw something green 'lis true, Ami lbof if wax fbi' Freshman class But when be nearer io it drew, He found if was a looking glass.
