Since the early days of the automobile industry, the Marmon car has held its position in the front rank of the world’s high grade cars and today it has no superior. In the all important feature of design the Marmon stands for the origin and highest development of many features. This, coupled with the best of materials and conscientious, painstaking work- manship gives this car a rightful claim to excellence which is demonstrated in the performance of every Marmon car. ere 2 AS Phone for Demonstration Gilhousen Brothers Company MARMON CARS 1136 South Olive St. LOS ANGELES, CAL.

Thompson, Science Spanish, Mathematics Prue Rowan, Commercial MENAGERIE Monkey: This animal varies from the average specimen in that he prefers chestnuts to peanuts, that is, if they are not too ancient. You may sometime encounter him in a bad mood, resulting, perhaps, from lack cf activity on your part to satisfy him. In this case carelessly bring out a few of aforesaid nuts, and his ferocity will immediately be appeased. Lamb: This little animal is said to be very “meek,” and although she is usually termed thus, we have reason to believe she does not always come up tc it. Mouse: This is a member cf the normal species, quiet, demure and un- obstrusive, yet having a very watchful eye. She seems to thrive best on Latinburger Cheese, but as yet has never been caught in a trap. Owl: This bird is very learned, in fact, is a smybol for wisdom itself and is bored by things of a frivolous nature. She loves the flowers and trees and, for this reason, perhaps, dwells in them a good part of the time. Parrot: This bird is renowned for talking of all kinds. She is different from the average specimen in that her talking is very rarely worthless, never profane. Baby Hippo: This specimen is what may be termed “cute.” He is very strong, although you would not believe it, for he subsists on a very slender diet, which consists chiefly of grape-nuts. Canary: This bird has a light colored head and may thus be distin- guished from all other members of this collection. She has a sweet voice, though she can seldom be heard in song, for the surrounding discord seems to drown her out. Lion: This animal is the “king of the den.” You will notice that his mane is extremely “bushy.” This is a trait not uncommon in this species. Lynx: This animal is strong, active and lithe. Although quiet as the aforesaid mouse in his cage, we are told he is not so out in the jungle. Rabbit: This creature is rather quiet in accordance with the species, but is fond of good things to “nibble.” Deer: Some think that this, indeed, is a good specimen of a dear. He is next in supremity to the lion. His favorite diet is the sprouts of the eo- operation tree, the growth of which he incessantly watches. Fawn: This animal is one of the gentlest in the collection. You will notice the unusually large soft eyes. She enjoys most the leaves of the shrub you see growing at her feet, whose shape is that of the Latin tongue. Dachshund: This animal, as you can see by the reproduction, is an exceptionally slender specimen. It is said that her bark is worse than her bite. Kangaroo: Although this animal is still very ‘young,’ she is a remarkable specimen. She is famous for “jumping on” visitors to the jun- gle who do not have the necessary requirements. Antelope: This specimen has been declared, by those who have studied the situation well, to be closely related to the deer family. She is particularly antagonistic to those small inescts which frequently inhabit the jungle, known as “bluffs,” and preys upon them when she discovers them.

Foglesong JUNIOR CLASS SOPHOMORE CLASS ODE TO A SOPHOMORE (With Apologies) Once a student came for schooling—came pre- pared to mind no ruling; Came to see just how much fooling he could do, and then some more. Proudly entered this young fellow, smoothing down his hair so yellow; With a smile both meek and mellow, tapped upon the office door. “°Tis a Soph’more,” Upjohn muttered, frown- ing through his office door: “Just a Sophie, nothing more.” Now the year is almost over, and we all have dreams of clover, But that Soph’more, ere we lose him, let us speak of him some more. When he entered he was dreaming, full of jokes and pranks was teeming, Now, alas! his eyes are streaming, as he looks beyond the door. In eighth period he is toiling, there beyond the class room door— Getting lessons, nothing more. SSVIO HYOWCHdOS AHL FRESHMEN CLASS Violet Lacy, ’14. STUDY OF GREEN THINGS I. Material: Freshmen. Ii. Observations: 1. Where found. These specimens were found in the South Pasadena Assembly, on the east side of the Assembly Hall, occupying quite a large plot of ground—about half the room. From careful research, it has been ascer- tained that they “sprang up” about the middle of September, 1912. 2. Size. The species Freshmen, Genus, High School, vary in size, some being microscopic, as Eugene Collins, and others able to be seen with the naked eye, as Bruce Kirkpatrick. 3. Shape. The shape of this species does not vary—all having a common Shape. The species, Freshmen, are distinguished from the rest of the genus, however, by the simple construction, and the small dimensions of the head, or crown, thereby denoting a lack of cells. If]. Summary and Conclusion: Therefore, from the above observations, we conclude that the species, Freshmen, genus, High School, are simple, green things, belonging to the great group of Recent Grammar School Graduates, and are of little use or value in their present stage—although Science predicts a speedy evolution to a higher plane. SSVTIO N€WHSdas THE STUDENT BODY At the beginning of the school year, in September, 1912, it was decided that the Athletic Association and the Student Body should dissolve and reorganize into one group called “The Student Body of South Pasadena High School.” This change, of course, placed the charge of the entire activ- ities of the school, both athletic and otherwise, in the hands of the Student Body. It was a good change. Financially, the year has been all that could be desired. All of the sports have been financed cn a more elaborate scale than has been possible before. Debating and Oratory have been encouraged, and everything which the organization has undertaken has been a financial success. Many excellent programs have been given at the regular meetings. The musical numbers, especially, deserve great credit and the meetings given over entirely to musical selections have been greatly enjoyed. Another, and perhaps the most important factor of all, is the great number of excellent speakers and readers who have entertained, at differ- ent times, the Student Bedy. These have all been extremely interesting and have covered a great variety of subjects. Rev. Geo. C. King Dr. J. W. Baer Dr. Holmes, of Australia Dr. C. A. Whiting Joseph Scott Captain Eli John C.

The year was begun by a campaign for new members and many of the underclassmen were enrolled. However, an effort was made to get a membership of good quality rather than of large numbers. The first semi-annual banquet was held in the Shrine Auditorium and nine hundred boys from all over Los Angeles County were there. The address of the evening was “Blue Blood,” by Dr. Stephenson of Occidental College. Financially the League has done well. Early in the year it took up the task of furnishing certain grades of paper to the school. In this way the pupils have been able to get better paper for less money than previously and the treasury of the League has had a pleasant growth. An operetta given at the High School, February 7th, was a source of much enjoyment for many people and of material gain for the organization. When the school needed new song books, the boys sold them and made use of the profit that otherwise would have gone out of the school. The League is endeavoring to do a real live work for its members. With this object in view the boys have started an employment agency and already several boys have obtained work on Saturdays. The boys are looking forward to the second banquet and probably a large number will go from this school. Student League Officers LYNN TUTTLE, President. ALBERT LACY, Vice-President.

Such colors well might be The theme of poets’ songs; a painter’s dream; Colors with which to weave, with subtle gleam, The fabric of some gay bard’s minstrelsy. The blue, in dew-wet violets, fast asleep; The ocean, fathomless; and sky by day. The gold, within the sunlight’s purest ray, And in the dark of mountain mines hid deep. Again, the blue in wistful eyes that veil The shadows of a half-forgotten smile; Or gold of hair that shifts and shimmers; while Its brightness makes the very sun seem pale. L’Envoi Time waits for no one, all are well aware, And Life’s best golden hours are all too few— Then keep your thoughts, “pure gold,” your hearts, “true blue,” And live up to the colors that you wear. And when it seems Life’s pathway means but pain, Success’ brightest flame, a worthless spark, Remember: clouds of night are ne’er so dark But that your Sun, the Gold, will shine again. LITERARY Merle Reynolds, ’14 THE CALL OF THE DESERT A man was sitting at a table in one of the mos t fashionable cafes in Paris. He was not a native Parisan, but his dress showed that he was a society man. The cafe was brilliantly lighted, but he had asked when he entered, for a quiet table over at one side of the room, in place of his regular one prominently near the center. At this the manager’s smile of satisfaction at sight of his regular customer, had changed to one of slight surprise. The young man, for he was not over twenty-five, was looking absently around the room, his meal almost untouched before him. The son of one of the officials of Paris, prominent in society; he had led a gay life for several years. Indeed, all his memories were of Paris; he could recall nothing of the first few years of his life or of his mother. She had died when he was young; of more than this he knew nothing, for his father, the General, had been stern and reticent whenever the subject was broached. Tonight he had come from a momentous interview with that General momentous because something new was to come into his life. “Victor,” the General had said, when his son stood before him in the library of the stately house which was their home, “I want you to be ready to leave for Africa tomorrow. Some official papers must be sent by the Government. Though not very important, they must go immediately, and you are the best messenger we can find on short notice. A train leaves at ten in the forenoon which will make your connection. I will deliver the papers to you then.” The son had listened in surprise at first, then had bowed his assent, and gone directly to the cafe. There he had been thinking of the journey he was to make, the new country he would see. He had never been to Africa. His ideas of the country were vague and imaginative, centering about the desert. He had heard of the “call of the desert,’’ and how men had answered it never to come back. Beneath his gay society manner was an imaginative mind, and he wondered if the desert would ever call to him. The journey was uneventful. Reaching the town on the coast of Africa, he delivered the papers in person to the official for whom they were intended. He felt a desire to see the desert, and, as he did not have to return immediately to Paris, he asked this official where one of the nearest desert villages was situated. 4 LITERARY “Well, there is El Moran, not far away. It is a tourist town though this is out of season, so you would find a hotel there. It is a typical desert town on an oasis.” “It is probably just what I want to see, and I will go tomorrow. I appreciate your telling me of it. Good-day, sir,” and the young man bowed and went away. The next morning he boarded one of the slowly-moving trains going towards the interior of the continent. The day was cloudy and a sea breeze made the ride pleasant at first. They were approaching a range of low mountains. Shortly after noon these were crossed, and the desert burst upon them. Wide areas of hot yellow sands, glistening white in the bright sunlight, with low-browed sage-brush and here and there a gaunt cactus, were seen through the small windows of the stuffy little day-coach. Light mesquite gave the only touch of green to the landscape except oases far in the distance. It was intensely still and very hot, for the sea breeze did not cross the mountains. Just after sunset E] Moran was reached. A crowd of Arabs swarmed about the station, and several clamorously offered their services as guides. The traveler selected one who spoke French fluently, and follow ed him over to he small hotel which stood quite a distance away surrounded by trees. Here he was given a room on the second floor, opening cut upon a balcony. He found the dining zoom almost deserted, for few travelers were there, and was served by Arab waitresses who attracted him almost as much as had the Parisian women. “Would Monsieur like to see the village tonight?” broke in the voice of the guide as the traveler stood in the doorway. “Yes, I think I would,” and the two stepped out into the night. It was growing cold, and the air was bracing. The dark blue sky twinkled with stars, and the rising orange moon shone on smooth white sands. The guide’s conversation was unheeded, for the Desert was casting her spell. The traveler forgot all else in the grandeur of that desert night. Now they reached the outskirts of the village, and started down one of the narrow streets lined on both sides with small rudely-built houses. The roofs of these were open courts serving as living rooms for the Arab families. The main street was lined with little shops, or booths, where Arab venders sold their wares. From one street came the sound of tom-toms, where, in houses filled with Arab spectators, women dancers performed the strange and fascinat- ing dances of the East. The traveler entered one of these houses, and was LITERARY soon asked to contribute a coin. Many shining ones already ornamented the dancers’ dresses. “Come,” said the traveler to his guide after a short time, “I am ready teo return to the hotel.” “Yes, Monsieur. Is there nothing else you would like to visit tonight ?” “Nothing.” ; The walk back was quiet, for the talkative guide soon felt conversation unnecessary. At the hotel door they parted, the guide promising to be there early the next morning. The traveler went slowly upstairs and out upon the balcony, where he stood gazing into the night. It was a night full of African splendor, such as he had never seen before. But it was full of witchery, too. The cold air, stirring slightly, brought strange whispers across the sands, the mur. murings of the Desert to one whom she was calling. The traveler’s eyes wandered far in the distance where the full moon disclosed a long caravan slowly creeping between two oases. Suddenly a great longing swept over him, a passionate desire to be in that caravan. A voice seemed to come out of the Heart of the Desert, calling him onward, onward, into an un- known world. His soul thrilled in response to it, and the answer “Yes,” ‘ame stirringly from the depths of his heart. He went into his room and wrote a letter to his father. At the end of it—“My father,” he said, “you will not understand me. I do not expect you to. But I must stay here until I have at least explored this desert. I cannot be satisfied unless I do. Then I will return to Paris and try to forget it.” The General looked up musingly from the letter he was reading. His thoughts were wandering in the past. “I do understand him,” he said regretfully. “I went through the same experience myself. His mother was an African, and with that blood in him, his passion will be stronger than mine was. He will never come back. The “call of the desert” has come to him. LITERARY A TROUBLOUS TALE B. C.

In themselves and _ their cabin this bunch is no different from thousands of similar ones wherever Prep Students predominate. Three peculiar things, however, characterize this particular crowd of fellows, namely, their cause for organization, the circumstances and their pe- culiar name. Such is the nature of these that they have furnished many an amusing hour before the campfire for the members and they are herein set down as they happened, with the hope that they may be a stimulus to bring to the memories of our readers similar incidents of their own fool- ish youth. It was a chilly, snappy day in the late fall, a year or so ago. It was also 1:30 of that same day. The place was a remote stretch on the little jerk- water road running between Ashwell and Harrow- gate. Alongside the tracks as red-blooded a bunch of “grid-iron warriors” as ever faced disas- ter on the brink of the “Big Game” gloomily viewed the now broken-down, as well as dilapi- dated, locomotive. Big “Slats” Kirchoffer, our Captain, went up the line to see the conductor. In a moment he was back. “Rellows,”’ he said, “it will be three hours before we can move, so, as it’s only that many miles, I move we walk. Otherwise we’re going to miss our chance to show that Harrowgate bunch how poor they really are.” With more or less alacrity, we all assent- ed except “Tiny” Jones, our 200-pound cen- ter, who immediately raised a protesting voice. “Fellows,” he pleaded, “Spare me, my doctor says that my delicate constitution will not stand the strain of violent exercise.” LITERARY “OQ, come on, Tiny,” we laughingly shouted, “We'll see that the dear little boy is properly assisted.” And with a laugh here and a joke there, we started across the hills. Up one hill and down another we went, frolick- ing and playing pranks as we went along. We swarmed up the wooded side of the next hill in the highest of spirits. Suddenly, “‘Doc’’ Ainslee, who was a little bit ahead and at the top of the hill, stopped and motioned for us to keep quiet. Wondering what was up, we hurried to him. Following the direction of his out-stretched arm we saw, directly below us on the County Road, a genuinely hair-raising sight. A stage coach stood motionless on the rocky road. Lined up in front of it and to one side was a considerable number of passengers who were being systematically relieved of their valuables by a single, rough-looking, much-be-whiskered “‘road agent.”’ Whew! That was exciting enough for anybody. Just then ‘Slats’ had a brilliant idea. ‘Fellows,’ he whispered as we gathered around him, “that fellow is standing right underneath a bank. If we sneak down there carefully, a couple of us can jump on him and he’ll never know what’s happened.” Well, we were an average bunch of fellows and although part of the bunch were somewhat timorous, it ended in the majority of us very care- fully creeping down the slope. Slats, Tiny, Doc and myself reached the spot first. The highwayman had finished the men and was starting to search an extremely pretty girl. With an evil l eer on his face, the ugly brute started to put his arm around her. “Spare muh,” she cried in agonized accents as she raised her pretty hands beseechingly. That was too much for the emotional Tiny. With a “whoop” he jumped and lit squarely on the fellow. It was about a ten-foot drop and Mr. Highwayman was quite effectually “squelched” in his career. We were all beginning to congratulate ourselves and Tiny on our marvelous exploit when suddenly our self-importance suffered a rude shock. With a rush the maddest little man I have ever seen bounded out of some nearby shrubbery. He had a wonderful command of language, and after a short time we felt about as insignificant as a normal crowd of High School fellows ever feels. We certainly had succeeded in getting “in wrong.” “Why, you poor ignoramuses,” he cried, “you’ve spoiled a thousand feet of the best film I’ve ever taken. Not only that,” he bellowed, pointing at the thoroughly cowed Tiny, “but that young Beef Trust over there has nearly killed one of the best actors in the company.” “We—well,”’ faltered poor Tiny, “that fellow was insulting the girl and I couldn’t stand for anything like that.” At that a big laugh went up from the actors. LITERARY “Why, you poor boy,” said the lady in question, “we’re married.” That was the last straw. We hastily walked away, followed by the gibes and jeers of the company. We tried our best to keep the Harrowgate fellows from getting the story, but they did somehow, and, “believe me,” they took advantage of it. Every time we had the ball, Handsome Hero would roll across the field and Tiny would pass the ball about ten feet beyond the waiting quarter-back. Added to this we were all so cowed over the affair that we played like a team of “wooden Indians” and the final result was one of the worst defeats in our history. When we went home, we were just about the angriest bunch of fellows you ever saw. For many days we were the laughing stock of the town. In fact, we were laughed at so much that gradually we began to appreciate the humor of the situation ourselves and we organized into a very exclusive “Ancient and Honorable Association of Heroes,” and our little cabin in the foothills is a constant reminder of the one and only time that the Ashwell football team broke into the “‘movies.” 0. Arthur Venburg, 714 BILL, WILLIE, WILLIAM Yes, his name was William. At least, that is what his mother called him. At school he was plain “Bill,” except in one little instance; then it was Willie. In this particular instance, Bill’s name sounded so sweet that he wondered why everyone didn’t call him that. But then, he wouldn’t allow everyone to be so familiar with him as to call him “Willie.” No, that was Susan’s special privilege. Of course, William didn’t exactly care for Susan. He only admired her pink hair ribbons, and he carried Susan’s books just because—well, because—well, they weren’t heavy and he seldom had any books of his own to carry. Susan always sat across the aisle from . William and William always sat across the aisle from Susan. Bill thought it was fun to work at Susan’s arithmetic lesson, and, when he corrected her spelling paper, he always marked it 100 per cent. The other boys were jealous of Bill and always teased him. Bill didn’t LITERARY care when they teased him, but he always thought that they’d just better not tease Susan. When they did tease Susan, he became angry and usually punished the person in the old way. Susan and Willie always ate lunch together and Willie generally had an extra apple or doughnut for Susan and Susan returned his generosity by giving a big piece of cake. If Susan was not at school, Willie saved both apples until next day. Although Bill tried to make himself believe that he admired Susan’s pink hair ribbons only, he always carried her books, ate lunch with her, and wrote notes to her even if she wore red ribbons. ()————_— Violet Lacy, °13 THE GIRL ACROSS THE AISLE Jim Saunders, commonly knownas “‘Freck’”’ because of an over abundance of brown dots on his otherwise fair visage, was crouched in his seat with his head down on the desk. ‘‘Aw! wake up there, Freck,’’ stage-whispered a voice from the rear, enforced by a brotherly kick in the shins. Freck did not move---neither did he yell---to the’great disgust of the perpetrator and the surrounding students. Bill Perkins walked up the aisle, deposited a scrap of paper in the waste basket and, returning, gave Freck a vic- ious jab in the ribs with a pencil. But Freck was immune to such trivial annoyances. A far greater one bothered him now. His Sunday School class was going to have a picnic, and each boy had to aska girl. Freck knew whom he wanted to ask, but knowing whom you want to ask and how you want to ask it are two very different things. So Freck was not asleep---no, far from it---for his brain was working, as it never before had worked, trying to construct a sentence that was fit to ask a fairy, for such was his opinion of Mary Ann---an opinion well based, however, for a brighter, prettier and dantier being had ne’er before set foot in Sommersville, and certainly not in Sommersville school and right across the aisle from Freck. After fifteen minutes of thinking, intermingled with jabs and pokes, Freck sat up, with a look of despair. He had failed to think of a suitable sentence. Suddenly, he thought of Peggy in the seat in front of him, and with LITERARY | this thought came hope. ‘Peggy,’ he whispered eagerly, ‘are you a-goin’ to that picnic?” At this, Peggy turned half around in her seat, blushed rosy red, smiled, but said nothing. “Well, some one has asked her, anyway,” thought Freck, and, judging from all appearances, it was Bill Jones. ‘What did Bill say?” he ventured. Another blush, a smile, and then silence. “Aw, please,” implored Freck, “I’ll give yer an apple.” But such, knowledge was not to be bought so cheaply, and Peggy shook her head disdainfully. Desperately he continued, for the noon hour was approaching, “T’ll give yer a box of chocolates if you’ll tell!” Ah! that melted her! Who ever heard of a girl refusing chocolates? Freck was radiant. “Well,” she said shyly, “he said something like this: ‘Miss Peggy, may I have the extreme pleasure of escorting you to the picnic?’ ” The noon bell rang. “Mary Ann,” Freck gurgled, growing purple to the roots of his red hair, “May I—er—may I—er. have the the’”’— but just at this crucial moment Mary Ann centered her laughing brown eyes on Freck. He lost courage, was hypnotized by that look, and the next words flew from his brain. “Have the, the’—he made a wild grab for that awful next word, floundered, and, mis——“‘the extreme pleasure,” prompted a voice from within the desk, for Peggy was hunting a book. “The extreme pleasure of’——once more Freck floundered, choked, and stuck—“of escorting you to the picnic,” finished the voice again, “and Freck Saunders, don’t you dare to forget to bring me that box of choco- lates.” O Frances Thompson, 713 THE MULLIGANYS’ CATASTROPHE “Sure, and it’s a blessing that we know Mrs. O’Hara so well,” was Mrs. Mulligan’s placid remark as she settled herself in her chair before the fire. “Why?” questioned her husband uninterestedly. “Well,” replied Mrs. Mulligan, so sure of causing a sensation that she was unusually slow in making a reply, “well, now,’ she drawled, ‘Mrs. O'Hara and her family are going North for a two-months’ visit and they are going to give us their machine while away.” Her remark caused even more excitement than Mrs. Mulligan had anticipated, for with a whoop and a howl a troop of half a dozen miniature Mulligans were in the room, thus illustrating the advantages of keyholes in a door. Mr. Mulligan, too, rose to the occasion and a family jubilee followed. “First of all, we must build a garage,’ ’ said Mr. Mulligan with swag- a LITERARY gering importance, feeling himself a marked man in his small town, for few were the automobiles there and it would bring an impetus, both in business and social standing, to the Mulligan family and this they all realized. The next week all was preparation in the Mulligan family and many were the boasts scattered broadcast through the small metropolis regard- ing the new machine, but it was not announced that it was not new or that it was but a loan for its care, and so the news spread. At last the garage was finished and viewed with awe by fellow towns- men. It was a few days later that a letter from Mrs. O’Hara from her home in a near-by town caused much excitement. The machine had been shipped and would arrive the following day. Great was the excitement in the Mulligans’ home town and the citizens could not exhibit their regard for the Mulligans enough it seemed,—in fact, so much attention was showered on the family that it was well-nigh embarrassing. When the great day of anticipation had arrived, the Mulligans hurried down to the station to wait for the incoming freight. “We will just jump into the machine and I'll run it home,” said Mr. Mulligan, anticipating the crowded streets through which he could exhibit the treasure. It was with a thrill that the breathless Mulligans rushed into the baggage room as the freight master told them something for them had arrived. On their entrance to the room they saw a crate of rather small dimensions but plainly addressed to Mr. Mulligan. With his family of seven circled around him, Mr. Mulligan tore it open and beheld a sewing machine! With a gasp the startled eight eyed each other. “What did you say it was an automobile for?” demanded Mr. Mulli- gan at last, of his wife. “Faith and you’d better be glad it isn’t a washing machine! Mrs. O’Hara wrote me that she would lend us her machine ” and the poor woman sobbed desolately in her handkerchief as the downfall of their hopes was brought home to her. They told the freight-master to have it delivered the next day to their address and turned and walked down the tracks. “T don’t know how anybody could be so mean as to play such a joke on us. I think that mean Jim Flannigan did it. Our machine must be around here some place.”” This was said by the resourceful boy. His par- ticular enemy had been Jim Flannigan and certainly Jim had not taken kindly to the boasts that had passed around. They pursued their course down the tracks. Suddenly a cry arose from the twins, Mike and Nors. “Here is the machine! Of course it was a mistake. Look Papa!” And sure enough, there stood an automobile already to jump into and go. To be sure it had seen its best days, but the O’Haras had had a machine for some time. ” “Faith, to be sure it is,” cried the chorus of Mulligans, and with one accord they all jumped in. After a great deal of turning and cranking, the engine started and away they flew down the streets. People from all around hung out of the windows and many were the friends that the Mul- ligan family found that afternoon. That evening a large print appeared in the paper saying that a ma- chine had been stolen from the freight tracks and that a reward of twenty- five dollars was awarded to the person giving a clew to it. The next morning Mr. Mulligan announced the startling fact of the twenty-five dollars. “T tell you what you do,” suggested his wife, “take the machine back and then we will have to tell people that we sold it at a large profit because we were thinking of going away for an indefinite length of time.” “T am afraid that is what we will have to do, but the trip will cost more than twenty-five dollars,” sighed Mr. Mulligan. LITERARY Walter Lord, °13 CHRONICLES OF VENUS ADONIS CUPID Venus arises at the accustomed hour, 8 A. M., and, with much gusto and rapid movements, attempts to enrobe his world-famed form. The next scene takes us to the breakfast room where he stands and swallows two wieners, one banana, a piece of limburger cheese, one English walnut, and three peanuts. Our healthy young lad then grabs his books from the self- same place where they were laid the night before, and, with as much speed as his avoirdupois will permit, rambles out to the street car. ‘When in the course of human events it becomes necessary” for one person, even tho’ he be the size of several, to catch, get on to, or make connections with a certain mode of transportation, such as a street car, tram, omnibus, or stage—especially when the reason for so doing is very important, most urgent, or imperative—it is a proved fact that that particular thing, whether it be a street car, train, omnibus or stage, will endeavor, with human prowess and intelligence, to get away from, leave behind, outwit or evade that particular party to whom the making connections is so very LITERARY imperative. So it was with Venus, for, just as he came around the corner, his car started up with Venus four and one-half miles from school and with but ten minutes in which to make it. But our sturdy lad was bound that he would not be the victim of contrary circumstances, so he made what appeared from the sidewalk to be a super-human effort and actually ran, and lo, before the street car could recover from its sudden surprise at this strange sight, Venus was aboard. 9 A. M.—Cupid, after all these good intentions, vain and flesh-losing efforts, is late for school, appears in Mr. Upjohn’s office applying for a permit. “Well, it was this way,” began the culprit, “I let for school in plenty of time, but the street car broke down and I had to wait for about forty minutes down by the Ostrich Farm.” “All right,” assented Mr. Upjohn, “but this is the last time I’ll give you a permit on that excuse.” 11:30 A. M.—Loud snores issue from U. S. History room. It’s a good thing that Mr. Upjohn has such a strong voice or it sure would be Cupe for the couch in the Teachers’ room. 12:15 P. M.—Cupid eats a light meal consisting of three hard-boiled eggs, eight deviled ham sandwiches, four of the same article, but having lettuce centers, several crackers, some potato salad, a few apples and nuts, apple, pumpkin and cream pie, and one bar of milk chocolate. He says he is trying to reduce. Nothing was seen of Cupid during that afternoon, so we know nothing of him, but there was a good bill at the Orpheum. LITERARY Extracts from the Diary of Miss “Pinky” Perry, the Famous Strawberry Blonde Wednesday, January 1, 1913: tesolutions for 1913. (1) I will use no more slang. (2) I will quarrel no more with my dear sister. (8) I will have nothing more to do with the boys. (4) I will do better in my lessons, ete. Thursday, January 2: Gee! but we did have a swell time yesterday at the parade. I wish I knew who that nice looking fellow was who waved at me. School has just begun again—horrors! Friday, January 3: Sister and I disagree. She grabbed my diary, while I was in the par- lor playing “Sweetheart” for Bruce Spencer, Dick Gilman, Clarendon Fos- ter and—let’s see—oh, fudge! I can’t remember who comes on the differ- ent nights—but, anyway, I guess the other one was Charles Ewing. Well, as I was saying, sister “Bingo” grabbed this book and ready my New Year’s resolutions. Bah! she needn’t talk, if I didn’t keep them. She didn’t keep her own. Saturday, January 4: My, but I wish I could drop Latin! I hate it. Myr. Upjohn won’t let me, though, and I can’t go into the library any more, either. That is an awful blow, for I used to have so much fun talking to Newton Cattern in there. Sunday, January 5: This was surely a lively day for me. Six boys came over to spend the evening, and we had a glorious time. Monday, January 6: Sister “Bingo” and I had such an exciting scrap today. I don’t sup- pose I should disagree with her at all, but I just can’t help it. Tuesday, January 7: Oh dear! I haven’t kept my New Year’s resolutions at all! Well, such is life. That fellow who called me up last night says I am the best looking strawberry blonde he ever saw. Oh dear, I wish my hair was some other color! “Red head, red head, Gingerbread head, Why wasn’t I born a blonde?” LITERARY Wednesday, January 8: Just a week since I started my diary. Dad came home last night and made some new laws: (1) That I must not use so much slang. (2) That I must not quarrel with sister “Bingo.” (3) That I can have no more than four gentlemen callers at one time. (4) That I must bring home good marks. Queer, isn’t it? My very resolutions—I guess I WILL keep them now, though. 0 Extracts from the Diary of Clarence Council, The Junior Chronic Late-eptic Monday, January 6, 1913: Set the alarm last night for 5 o’clock, so that I should wake up early enough to get to school on time, but, sad to relate, the alarm didn’t go off, as I had forgotten to turn the alarm on the night before, so didn’t get up till late. Twenty minutes late to school again. Tuesday, January 7: Early this morning, I was dreaming that I was leading the yells in a rally for the Long Beach basketball game, when suddenly the fire-bell began to ring, and I jumped down from the platform. In jumping I heard my alarm—‘“b-r-r-r.”” I slowly put the covers back and arose. I started to school at eight o’clock and was in my seat at eight-forty. The row teacher gazed at me with proud eyes and I thought triumphantly, “Here’s one day I’m not late, anyway.” All morning I could scarcely keep my eyes open in recitations or study and kept thinking, ‘Gee, I don’t believe I’ll set the alarm tonight.” I went home to lunch and I was so sleepy I could scarcely eat. I was thinking how great it would be to go to bed and sleep and gradu- ally I drifted off into a nice snooze. Awoke in half an hour and hurried to school, but was twenty minutes late again! O, Cruel Fate—Thou doest me an injustice! Wednesday, January 8: I lay awake all night last night to think of some way to get to school on time and have thought of a bully scheme. I am going to work it tomor- row. Didn’t have any of my lessons today because I went to bed so early last night to make my plans, I forgot to study. Thursday, January 9: Well, I worked my scheme this morning, and believe me, it’s great! LITERARY | I took three lunches to school yesterday and stored them safely in my locker. After school was out I stayed in my class room and studied and slept and studied until five-thirty. Then I ate one of my lunches and slept again. I didn’t wake up till eight o’clock this morning when the janitor came in to sweep. Went down in the “gym” and ate another one of my lunches, and was back in my class rocm by eight-thirty. Felt fine all day, except in being a little stiff—I guess sleeping in one position all night made that. Anyway I wasn’t late. At noon ate my third and last lunch and was on time again. The sandwiches were a little stale, but, believe me, the scheme is some class! Friday, January 10: Went to bed early last night. Jiminy! That scheme was great! Never would have thought I could think of one like that, would you? Got up early and thought all the time about my dandy scheme and how great it worked out. At breakfast I chuckled to myself, and mumbled, “Pretty good, eh?” so many times that my father finally looked up and asked, “My dear, dear son, have you something on your mind? If so, cut it out.” Started to school at eight-ten. Pretty soon I found myself walking along to the tune of “Pretty good, eh,” “Pretty good, eh?” Suddenly I realized that I had passed school several blocks and was at Mission and Fair Oaks. O Glooms! Why attendest thou me so faithfully? Looking at my watch, however, I found that I had half an hour to get to school, so did not walk any faster than usual, but when I arrived I found that my watch had betrayed me. “Twas half an hour slow as I had forgotten to wind it the night before. So what’s the use? All my efforts are in vain! The misfortune of being late seems impossible to overcome, so let the Fates have their way and I will take my time. 0 Don Messer, 713 Diary of Second Year Dutch Class Monday, January 6, 1913: Class rather noisier than common today. Impossible to hear Fraulein Wyche cough—the noise so great. Herr Pearson had his seat changed as usual. Has now occupied every seat in room, save one. Fear Fraulein Gillies is a bad influence on Fraulein Baker, for they ate walnuts all through period. Fraulein Kite also sang, but in general commotion, noise was not dis- ——————— LITERARY turbing. Nearly forgot, Batty left room three different times for a drink. Two should be quite sufficient. Tuesday, January 7: Sad event, a written lesson. Fraulein Foglesong very ferocious. No more oral lessons till we make less noise. Herr Donaldson somewhat peeved; gives oration downing principle of written lessons. Silenced by Fraulein Foglesong. Wish I had put more time on my Dutch. Resolve to do so immediately. But alas! it is too late. Wednesday, January 8: Lent my copy of “Life” to Fraulein Gillies and Fraulein Baker. They sit together and thus obtain a general sufficiency at same time. “Rookie” has a seat near window and spends all period in watching White and Bill Beasley play catch. Wish I sat by window. Six Seniors in second Dutch. How interesting to watch Mel Donaldson and Aloha Washburn. Thursday, January 9: Fraulein Foglesong has Hilda Wyche’s cold. Could scarcely talk. Every member of class has had it. Had one yesterday myself in Oral English. Well, I taught the class. Herr Pearson gave Mutt and Jeff for a current event, and Fraulein Gillies reviewed last week’s Orpheum Bill. Batty had a good lesson today and Fraulein Wyche brought her book to class; both events first happenings this term. It’s easy to work Mr. Thompson on Dutch the fifth period, but not on Physics problems. Friday, January 10: Fraulein Foglesong’s cold still holding out. Great rejoicing. Fraulein Baker taught class. Sat with Bookie and thus saw baseball practice. Good scheme. Had flower show last few minutes of period. Fraulein Judkins had three entries, and captured two prizes. Bookie drew a long, lank, skinny cat-tail and received first. I feel sorry for the judges. Dutch is my favorite study. LITERARY Extracts from the Diary of Clarence Cope Wednesday, January 1, 1913: “T do hereby solemly swear that I will wear a long, sober face, walk slowly and deliberately, and cause no more disorder than does the entire Senior Class.” Thursday, January 2: Some cold this A. M. Physics lecture room so warm couldn’t think to write the ex. Thompson told us not to use ponies, so used Physics book instead. Cupid slept like a log during history. In music requested by Miss Cairns, who does not seem to admire my volume and exquisite sense of time, to retire to library. I do so, as quietly as an angel walking on cork, all the time with a long face, intent on keeping my resolution. There was a meeting of the “Boys’ Glee Club” at the close of school, which was as silent and still as a funeral during prayer—no one present. Friday, January 3: A day of training before the game. I arise early, take a brisk walk of three minutes and have five minutes in which to eat my morning meal, and arrive at school three minutes late. After explaining to Mr. Upjohn my marvelous feat of eating one bowl of mush, six pieces of toast, four eggs and seven hot cakes, which were aided in their descent by three cups of coffee, in five minutes I enter my first class—the assembly room. I spend the rest of the day alternately between study and sleep, being disturbed occasionally by an ambiguous question. Saturday, January 4: I awake at ten A. M. and, upon counting the hours, I find that I have complied with the coach’s order and slept eight hours the night before the game. x I accomplish one thing in which I have failed many. times, when: IT suc- ceed in my bluff of spraining (?) my ankle in order to get five minutes in which I catch my escaping breath. Monday, January 6: The principal feature of today is the same as all other Mondays. I spend all my spare time in preparing my English composition in time to avoid ninth period. Tuesday, January 7: The Big Tryout for the Debate in which I make a thirty-minute speech in two minutes and make such an impression upon the judges that they deem it not necessary to make comment of my name as they did three of my fellow antagonists. I do not enter the debate with Inglewood. 5 LITERARY Philip L. Moyle, ’15 ASSEMBLY The last person has entered the Assembly Room, the last book has been picked up from the floor, where it had fallen from the top of some desk, the last scrap of paper has been crushed in the hand of some one who throws it across the aisle at his neighbor—in fact there is perfect quiet in the Assembly Room, which is a very unusual thing. Prof. Bush advances to the front of the platform, on which he has been sitting engaged in conversation with the speaker of the day, and says, “We are very glad and also greatly honored to have with us Mr. So-and-So,” ete. There is no use mentioning the rest of the introduction as every one knows it by this time. The speaker then arises and starts his speech in the same words used by speakers addressing High Schools since time immemorial, namely these: “I am very glad to look into your bright intelligent faces this morning,” ete. It is useless to repeat this also. When the speaker is fairly launched on his subject it is curious to watch the different expressions on the faces of the students. Probably some pupil over in the corner, who has been up the night before and is now enjoying the effects on the morning after, has piled up his books as a pillow and is now sleeping the sleep of the just. Another person may be staring hard at the speaker with apparent interest in the hope that his English teacher may notice and in consequence give him a higher mark for attention. Then there is a large class of indifferent students who will study the designs on the wall, count the buttons on the vest of the speaker, note the color of his suit, the pose in which he stands and countless other things. Nine-tenths of the pupils in this class, could, at the end of the lecture, tell better whether the speaker needed a shave, than the subject on which he spoke. At the end of the lecture, the speaker is warmly applauded, not be- cause the pupils like the speech, but because they are in hopes that he will speak longer and thus take some of the time from the next two periods. LITERARY Ethel Walker, 713 A Model History Class It was in U. S. History room; Our teacher made the plan Of reading to the Senior Class, And next day he began. The theme was a convention ; Fiske was the author’s name; And when he asked if he should read, “Oh yes!” all did exclaim. The teacher took the little (?) book, And told how long ’twould be, Then glanced around and wondered why Their faces showed such glee. Page followed page, the time flew by; The room grew very still. It seemed the interest was intense, It did seem so until— Well, Cupid was the first one, He succumbed without delay, You see his heart was with his tho’ts, And those were far away. Just then the warning bell was rung— High time one would surmise— The peaceful slumberer awoke, His face filled with surprise. Our teacher is much wiser now, His mind is filled with light; Instead of letting us sleep on, He makes us all recite. LITERARY !

Their drivers are pushing them with all their might, With the speed of a bullet they rush through the night, For the fray. They leave the smooth roads of the city and town, On the face of the driver there comes a slight frown And he sighs, For he knows there are moments of danger at hand In the desolate desert, in the treacherous sand; But he rushes his car through this terrible land, And he makes better time than he ever had planned. How he flies! WEN As he rushes along, down this lone desert trail, A new factor enters, a bright little nail— Please don’t smile. It enters a tire on the rear of the car, A blow-out results. There’s a terrible jar— The auto and contents start out for a star— 3ut long ere they reach it, they see it’s too far By a mile. LITERARY IV. They drop back to earth with a sickening thud, The auto’s a wreck, and the driver’s red blood Flows around. The moon gleaming forth, by its mellow bright sheen, The nervy young driver’s dead body is seen Lying, alone, by the ruined machine, And all that is heard is a coyote’s scream— Somber sound. Hdith Wilde, ’13 SUCH IS LIFE The day of exemption lists had come, O how the students trembled! The teachers took their little black books, And read to the students assembled: “Baker, Brown, Brown, Cope,”’ They smiled in fiendish glee; } And, as they read on down the list, I found I had a C. Right then and there I made a vow, I'd go better than a C; I studied every night till ten And raised it to a B. But when I had attained my B, I thought I could do better; And studied hard—I really did— But B just seems my letter. LITERARY Mphies Wond of he Wyesas S Lewis Humason, ’14 THE LAND OF THE YAQUI On the slopes of San Jacinto, On that aged, snow-capped mountain In the sunny southland standing, Where the States and Mexico meet, Lay the village of the Yaqui, Now deserted, long forgotten By all Indians save Tachiqua. She, the oldest and most ancient, Ne’er forgot her dear old birthland, How the soldiers came and fought them, How they killed that glorious nation, Drove them from their home and hunt-grounds, How they fled across the river To the land of Aztec Indians, There to build again a village, With those left of that great nation. Here the Spanish Padre taught them Faith surpassing their religion , Of one God who was Almighty, True and only God in Heaven. These were things told to Tacuyo, Tachiqua’s grandson, by the fireside, Dreaming of the Yaqui tribesmen As a great and prosperous band. Dreaming of these great charm’d warriors, To his heart there came a longing a ea a LITERARY | For the land of his forefathers, For the slopes of San Jacinto. Many wakeful nights through lay he Planning how to reach that village. Starting on his long, long journey, To a land, he knew not where, ’Lone he walked o’er trails forgotten, Where the end no man could tell. On he travelled, led by instinct, O’er the hillside clad with sagebrush, Followed streams and rocky canyons, Where no man had been before him, Till at last, athirst and hungry, To the desert came he, lying At the foot of that great mountain, Which so long he dreamed of, hoped for. Pressing then into the sand-waste, Without water for the slaking Of his throbbing, swollen thirst, Tacuyo labored, plodded, struggled. On he traveled and still onward, Always one great goal in sight, Till at last o’ercome, exhausted On the sands he lay to die, With his eyes turned toward the summit. All before him vanished, faded As he lay there, now contented Thus to sleep with no awaking, Sleep which is God’s own making. ae LITERARY CDE TO THE CORDUROYS Hail thou corduroys, Fairest garment made; Pride of Senior boys, Will it ever fade? With your velvet softness, With your narrow belt, Your right claim to beauty By each one is felt. Not a knight’s apparel, Not a princely robe, Nothing can surpass you On this earthly globe. All the girls adore you; To them you all seem Such a thing of beauty, Such a perfect dream!! (?) Oh! who would believe it That you one time lay On a bargain table, “98” cents today? LITERARY SUMMER Catharine Nolan, ’13 Do you hear the voice of summer, Raised above the voice of spring? I am sure the birds all hear it For harken how they sing. It is but a tiny whisper, And yet it fills the air. Yesterday you could hear it, It was winter everywhere. You can hear it in the meadows, Tinged today with color green. You can feel it in the sunshine, Dancing there with golden sheen. You can hear it if you listen On these quiet moonlight eves, Tis the longed-for voice of summer Just a a whisper in the leaves. 0 9 Kathryn Caskey, 714 There is a class which all adore, (?) They win the trophies by the score; (?) It is the brilliant Senior Class Whose brightness none can e’er surpass. (7?) Their order in the study hall It never needs the teacher’s call (?) They’re angels every one—in looks—(?) You'll find them buried in their books. (?) Of course the grades on their reports, Are always just of the right sorts (?) And if you e’er attend a game, You'll find the Seniors win the fame. (?) I wish that this were really true, It may be of some, but of precious few. If they’d take for their standard the Junior Class, Then they surely would be hard to surpass. (? ? ?) 713). LITERARY A. Penny, 713 WHY I wonder if you’ll tell me Just why it always is My teachers never seem to see My true worth as it is. When I think I know a question And I madly wave my hand, They tell me my suggestion Isn’t worth its weight in sand. One day I came to English, My brain was working fine. I was called on to distinguish A bill-board from a sign. In vain Miss Leach did ask me— I blushed a rosy red— Just then I thought I’d rather be At home safe tucked in bed. But I summoned all my senses And gave her this reply: “Indeed to save expenses! I cannot tell you why!” But in my heart I wonder Just why it seems to be The questions hard as thunder Are the ones that come to me.

DEBATORS AND ORATORS BARRETT KIESLING MARGARET FAIRES WARDE FOWLER GENEVIEVE OCHELTREE LOIS BAKER LYNN TUTTLE HUGH WADDELL DEBATING THE DEBATING CLASSES The Debating Classes re main as last year under the able coaching of Miss Young. The classes are considerably larger, showing intensified inter- est. Outside of the regular classes, the debates between the two Ceasar Classes on problems arising in their texts, have brought forward students who have shown considerable skill and cleverness in the development of their arguments. 0) S. P.-L. A. DEBATE, November 27, 1912 This time it was certainly a case of “the higher they are, the harder they fall.” We made good last year and on the strength of that hard- fought-for reputation, the largest crowd in the school’s debating history assembled in the Auditorium to hear Warde Fowler and Barrett Kiesling uphold the honor of the school against Follette and Cohen of Los Angeles. The question for discussion was: “Resolved: That the Suffrage Should be Restricted by An Educational Qualification.” Our debaters upheld the negative side of this question. Never has so much really genuine, stick-together-support-the-team school spirit been shown as at this debate. The new songs and yells were sprung upon an unsuspecting public for the first time, and in that branch at least we certainly did ourselves proud. L. A.’s band made a brave show- ing, but they were drowned by the vociferous rooting of almost 250 loyal South Pasadenans. In the debate itself, Follette of Los Angeles gave probably the best example of semi-college debating ever heard in our Auditorium. His argu- ments, backed by his most evidently mature mind, turned the tide for L. A. Our boys did their best, but the decision of the judges was in favor of Los Angeles. During the interval before the decision, Cope and what pur- ported to be “L. A.’s goat,” headed a serpentine that showed the L. A. people, that, decision or no decision, we would still be backing the old school. 0 Bertha Miller, 713 SECOND INTERSCHOLASTIC DEBATE On Friday evening, January 31st, we held a debate with Inglewood, at Inglewood. There was a large delegation, and a very enthusiastic one, from the old school there and they certainly supported the team in good old South Pasadena fashion. The question was: “Resolved: That For- er rr DEBATING eign Immigration Should be Further Restricted.” The debaters for Ingle- wood were Grace Lawrence and Anita Leftwich, while, supporting the affirmative for South Pasadena, were Hugh Waddell and Lynn Tuttle. The boys upheld the honor of the school and we were very proud of them. When the judges’ decisions were announced to be 200 to 185 2-3 in favor of Inglewood, we stood up and gave them a sample of genuine S. P. spirit. Waddell received second place and we had every reason to feel proud of our team. After the debate, lunch was served in the dining room, which showed us in a material manner that Inglewood knew how to give her guests a good time. O Robert Honner,’ 14 DECLAMATION CONTEST—Pomona Collge, March 22 A preliminary declamation contest was held March 7 to choose a repre- sentative for this school at the First Annual Interscholastic Declamation Contest, under the auspices of Pomona College. There were six contestants in the preliminary and Mr. Kiesling took first honors with Senator Borah’s speech on the “Direct Election of Senators.” Eleven schools were represented in the main contest at Claremont, March 22. Mr. Kiesling made the trip for the school and Mr. Honnor was also sent as alternate. A good time was certainly on tap all during the stay. Kiesling landed just outside the medal zone, but received fourth place out of the large field of eleven of the best Prep School speakers in Southern California. 0 Hugh Waddell, ’15 SOUTH PASADENA vs. HOLLYWOOD—March 28 On the night of Friday, March 28, a crowd of about fifty true, loyal South Pasadena supporters assembled in the large Auditorium at Holly- wood to hear the “Orange and Black” defended against the “Red and White” of Hollywood. The question for debate was: “Resolved: That a Tariff for Revenue Only Would Lower the High Cost of Living for the Wage Earner.” Our team upheld the affirmative, Miss Lois Baker being the first speaker and Miss Margaret Faries second. The Hollywood debaters were Messrs. Herron and Walker. Both sides brought forth fine arguments and the whole debate was highly instructive as well as interesting. Our DEBATING opponents were awarded the decision but that did not dampen the ardor of South Pasadena in the least, for we came back with “We'll get you next year, Hollywood.” Score—Affirmative, 173 1-3; Negative, 194. ()———_—- Margaret Reynelds, ’15 PEACE ORATORICAL CONTEST The South Pasadena High School was the scene of a spirited contest on Friday night, April 4, when representatives from the five schools, Covina, Bonita, Monrovia, Glendale and South Pasadena, assembled to hear their respective speakers deliver orations on the subject of “Peace.” The manner in which the students treated the subject was very good and was beneficial as well as entertaining tc the audience. Our own speaker, Miss Genevieve Ocheltree, displayed remarkable oratorical power and ease of delivery and the S. P. H. S. students were proud, indeed, of their Sophomore orator. But, even though Miss Ocheltree-was so successful, Covina was deter- mined to make its energetic rooting count for something, and when the judge’s decision was made, Miss Marie Anderson, of Covina, was awarded 264 points and Miss Ocheltree received the same. After a consultation of the judges, the visiting school was given the decisive point, the final score being 265-264 in favor of Covina. South Pasadena was disappointed, but their pride in Miss Ocheltree is as great as if she had been victorious. SOCIETY Vera Gammon, 713 THE SENIOR-JUNIOR BANQUET, 1912 One of the prettiest and most delightful entertainments given during the closing month of schcol last year was the Junior’s Banquet for the Seniors, which took place in the High School building. The invitations were issued for six o’clock, June 10th, 1912. The Seniors were all very prompt in arriving and were welcomed by the Juniors in the hall, which served as a reception room, being tastily decorated with Shasta daisies, the class flower, and ferns. The guests, before being sum- moned to the banquet hall, enjoyed themselves about the piano. When all had arrived, they were ushered into the adjoining room, where tables were set for them. The room was most attractive with its appropriate furnishings and decorations, pennants and the class flower being in prominence. A delicious dinner was served by eight of the Junior girls, while music was afforded by the “Victrola.” At the conclusion of the dinner, toasts were given to the “Seniors” by Gail Van Dan Braak; to the “Juniors” by Margaret West, and to “Every- body” by Warde Fowler, after which the Seniors gave their class yell. To end the happy evening, there were thrown upon the screen, pictures of familiar neighboring scenes, cartoons and the baby pictures of the Seniors. Much mirth was introduced during the entertainment, so finally, when the hour approached for disbanding, good humor and amiability was estab- lished among all and everybody voted that the evening had been one long to be remembered. 0) Lillian Magor, 713 THE THREE CHAUFFEURS The Class of 1912 was singularly fortunate in choosing “The Three Chauffeurs” and “Dianthe’s Desertion’” combined as the Class Play. The play has enough solid material in it to raise it far above the level of most comedies, but at the same time does not call for the character study that is necessary to make Shakespeare a success. The play, as usual, was under the direction of Miss Estelle A, Leach, Senior Teacher. The tedious work of rehearsing was faithfully kept up for more than a month, and the result was a well trained company, of which everyone was above the average, and well fitted to play the part successfully. The plot of the play was laid at the home of Mrs. Spencer in Charles- ton, S. C., in 1780. A house party is given by Mrs. Spencer for a group of college girls and Gertrude Castleman refuses to attend the party, but SOCIETY decides to play a joke on the others and come as a country bumpkin. She informs her chum, who is at the party, of her plan. This done she attends the party in disguise and the whole play is centered around Melindy, or the country Bumpkin. The second act was composed of a delightful little colonial romance entitled, “Dianthe’s Desertion.’”’ Lucile Spencer played the part of Dianthe very beautifully, and Helen Pierce acted the part of Mis- tress Ramsey so delightfully that it will long be remembered. The play was a success in every way and well deserves the reputation which it bears—one of the best Senior plays ever produced—and the 8th of June will long be remembered by the cast as the night of their triumph. (0) CLASS NIGHT OF 1912 The Class of 1912 made a big hit and also furnished a delightful enter- tainment in their Class Night exercises on June 19. This was the second time a class graduated from S. P. H. S. gave its Class Day program in the evening when their friends could share their pleasure. The sweet girl graduates looked their sweetest in dainty gowns of various colors. The handsome Senior boys were handsomer than ever in their dignity as graduates. The Class President gave a short but cordial address to the soon-to-be Seniors. The seal of the Last Will and Testament was broken and the contents solemnly read. The owl was presented as a mascot to the Class of 1913. A fine class spirit was evident throughout the program and was especially noticeable in the original class song and yell. The class presented a “Victrola” as a memorial to the school. The prophecy was a clever little skit foretelling the future of each member of the class. The scene was that of a railway station where many of the members appeared showing, by their dress and conversation, their occupation and manner of living. The Office Clerk, the Baggage-Man, the Serub-Woman, the Dude, the Honeymooners—all brought shrieks of laugh- ter, which did not cease until the curtain was drawn and the class appeared in their present-day costumes and manners, bearing a daisy chain. Another unique feature was the presentation to each member of amusing little gifts which should serve them on their journeys through life. The spirit of the illustrious Class of 1912 is best voiced in the class yell: Zip! Zip! Give ’em a tip! “There’s many a Slip ’Twixt the cup and the lip.” Don’t fuss! Profit by us— Class of 1912! SOCIETY Marymae Cattern, °16 HALLOWE’EN PARTY “What character shall you take?” “I am sure that I shall know you.” “Everybody will guess me, I’m afraid.”” Such were the doubts and excla- mations that went the rounds just before the event of the High School Masquerade Party. Yes, everybody was alert at the very mention of masquerade. At last the important evening was at hand. Anyone might know that something was happening at the High School that night for the building was brightly illuminated and the automobiles stood waiting outside. As we went inside we found the school transformed and a scene so like fairyland greeted us that one would think that Alladin had been there with his wonderful lamp. The Assembly room was artistically decorated with green and yellow paper. The black paper images of witches riding their broomsticks were seen everywhere and, of course, the jack-o-lanterns made themselves prominent by shining most brilliantly. The characters looked as if they might have stepped from some wierd, exciting fairy tale. Harmonious strains of music were heard and all joined in the grand march. Little Bo-Peep tripped along with the Dude; Red Riding Hood with the Priest; the Colonial Girl with the Clown; and the Tramp with the Outwest Girl, while Golden-haired Babies toddled along, keeping time with their rattles. The graceful and many-colored column wended its way down the stair to the morgue, where the belle and swain mingled with the atmosphere of the dead. We soon ascended to the Assembly room, where we were afforded the pleasure of listening to Mr. Bonnell, who played musical instruments, sang songs and told funny stories. Miss Gillies then came forward and sang most charmingly her two prize songs, which she had composed for the 8. P. H. S. Song Book. The class spirit was most enthusiastic when the fortunate ones were chosen to take part in the apple-ducking and pie-eating contests. After the prizes for these sports were rewarded, every one partook of the refresh- ments with true Hallowe’en spirit and appreciation. The memory of the Hallowe’en Party of 1912 will long remain in the minds of the students. (0) FOOTBALL PARTY Morell Reynolds, ’13 However unsuccessful the football team may have been along the line of winning games, this did not keep it from winning something vastly more significant—the good will of the Senior girls. This sentiment was ex- pressed in a form decidedly otherwise than abstract, on Monday evening, December 2, when the Senior girls gave a banquet in the gymnasium, in SOCIETY honor of the Feotball Team. Incidentally, for reasons of hospitality which the Senior girls are too modest to state, the total male membership of the Senior Class was invited, and it is needless to say that they were all present in company with their appetites. The decorations were beautiful, and showed that the girls are artistic as well as practical. And the “eats?” Why, the old expressicn, “Like mother used to make,” loses its charm when we think of what the girls fed us that night. This material feature was followed by some highly enjoyable speeches. Miss Leach acted as toastmistress, and showed herself equal to that occa- sion, as she is to all others. The remainder of the program of speeches was as follows: “The Big Tackle” “Playing the Game” Louis Filley (Capt.) “The Team” Mr. Upjohn “Foctball for 1913” Lewis Humason . Bush “From the Side Lines” H. Stockman “The Senior Girls” Clare Cope The enthusiasm and spirit throughout the whole affair proved that football is now and is to be one cf the essential factors in the life of the school. (0) THE SENIOR CLASS PARTY AT SIERRA MADRE Early Saturday evening, April 22, the Senior Class gathered in one of the most beautiful spots in the San Gabriel Valley—a ranch nestled up among the focthills at Sierra Madre. The pure air was heavy with the scent of orange blossoms and as we strolled under rose-covered pergolas, down little winding paths, through a fern dell and lingered in the little rustic seats we knew the joys cf a veritable fairy-land. We were promptly brought back to ordinary life, however, by the announcement of a picnic supper and soon were gathered around a bonfire and gayiy demonstrating our appreciation of the sandwiches, tamales, cake and ice cream. Then the music struck up and all joined in a grand march. Perhaps the music suggested a faint minor note of sadness as we reflected that this, our first truly Senicr Party, was also the first even to foreshadow the end of cur connection with our dear Alma Mater. But such thoughts were flitting and a jolly evening was spent in playing the games familiar to our childhood, not so far away. The festivities ended with the hearty cheers in which the class ex- pressed their appreciation of our hosts and hostesses, Mr. and Mrs. Calwell and Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Fowler. SOCIETY SENIOR JOLLY-UP Such excitement and such curiosity as reigned when the arrival of the senior pins was announced! Nothing would do but a general jollification to celebrate the event. Accordingly between school dismissal and dark, there was an impromptu feed in the High School Library, where the waste- paper baskets were transformed into receptacles for pop-corn, peanuts, apples and quantities of fudge. Quite impressive was the little ceremony in which the Committee on Class-Pins called the names, one by one, and delivered to each the precious bits of gold and sapphire, which symbolize the golden link that shall hold together in memory’s chain the Class cf 1918. Enthusiasm reached its height when Miss Leach was shown special favor and recognition as Senior Class Teacher by the presentation to her of one of the Class Pins. One of the amusing incidents of the occasion was the presentation to Mr. Upjohn of an enlarged fac-simile of the pins dene in tin and secured by a large safety-pin. — —= THE COLONEL’S MAID The Class of 1913 is fortunate in the expert Stage Manager we have in Miss MacKintosh. She has charge of the Senior Play, which will be, from present indications, the most successful one yet given. A little curtain-raiser is to be introduced in which Clarence Cope and Lois Baker will carry out the role of “Mr. and Mrs. Honeyton, the Happy air,” and the play proper, “The Colonel’s Maid,” is a clever and entertain- ing bit of romance. It is a story of two rival colonels from the Southland, the land of Colonels and Feuds. The children of the rivals fall in love, inevitably, and there are complications and breathless situations galore. The fair charmer, who made rivals of the Colonels, appears as aunt of the young suitor and serves as a link character throughout the play. On the hard head of the stolid Chinese Cook is heaped the accumulated wrath of the entire situation. Of course the denouement is all smiles and happiness. The characters are well chosen and their work in rehearsals bespeaks credit for themselves and the Class of 1913. The following is the cast of characters: Colonel Robert Rudd, of North Carolina, a Widower Barrett Kiesling Colonel Richard Byrd, of South Carolina, a Widower. ..Charles Thornbury Marjorie Byrd Marjorie Gillies Bob Rudd Walter Lord Mrs. J. John Carroll, Col. Rudd’s Sister-in-Law Julia Carroll Louise Dodge Ned Graydon Donald Messer James Baskem Morell Reynolds Ching-a-ling, the Chinese Cook Warde Fowler L. Hockenberry, ’13 The class of last year was the first to have a Musical Department in its Annual. Last year the music equipment of the school consisted of a Music Room and Pianola. This was used in studying the style of great composers, but the Senior Class of that year added to this a Victrola. The whole school has enjoyed this, for it has been played several mornings at Assembly period and we are now hoping for some new records to enlarge the list of famous artists we already have. We hope in the coming year, when the new buildings shall be finished, to have a large and much better Music Room. Several Friday mornings we have had real musical treats: Mr. Palmer Ritchie sang for us one whole twenty-minute period and the students would have had him singing the rest of the morning if clap- ping could have kept him at it. Mr. Belcher, of South Pasadena, gave several selections on instruments which he had made. They were noticeable for their odd shape as well as for the undefinable sound. He imitated the human voice, the pipe organ and a bird singing. Mr. James Auriena sang for us extracts from an Italian opera. Among his selections was a love song which he sang in Italian. Of course we didn’t get the words, but the gestures spoke. We were entertained by A. Miller, the great tenor soloist. I am sure the music was enjoyed by all who care about good singing. He brought his own pianist, whom we greatly appreciated. Miss Von Pelt played the violin for us. She is the leader of the Orchestra this year and it has grown rapidly under her supervision. If anybody knows a master o f the violin when they hear it played they need only hear Miss Von Pelt. Mrs. Norton Bobo gave us some delightful selections. She sang “I’m Fruhling” (Fesea); “To You” (Speaks); “June Morning” (Willeby, and “Roses in June,” which last she sang in German. This was greatly appre- ciated, especially by the German students who had learned enough German to be able to understand. Miss Jessie Stafford whistled for the assembly. Among other things she rendered was “Patti Waltz Song” (Patteson). This was delightfully given. Sarah Belle Peeler, ’13 GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club this year numbers about thirty-five. They meet twice a week, Tuesday and Thursday, at the eighth period, for practice. The Club is under new direction this year, Miss Florence Cairns having charge of the chorus work of the school and of the Glee Club. A room, equipped with a Pianola and Victrola, has been provided for the work. The students have the privilege of hearing played famous pieces from Grand Opera and noted musicians. The Glee Club sang before the Assembly, giving “Good-Night, Good- Night, Beloved.” The effect was very pleasing to every one. The Club is composed of four-part voices, first and second soprano, first and second alto. It will render at Commencement, “The Bridal Chorus,” arranged from F. H. Cowen; the Cantata, “Rose Maiden,” and ‘““Wiegenlied” (Cradle Song), by J. L. Frank. MANDCLIN CLUB Albert Lacy, 714 An innovation in our Music Department this year is the High School Mandolin Club, composed of Clarendon Foster, Louie Filley, Glen Aron, Bruce Spencer and Merrill Tritt, with Albert Lacy as Accompanist. This organization has furnished music at our School Parties, as well as for public functions held in the High School Auditorium. The hearty receptions which it has met should be an inspiration for the members to put forth every effort toward making the Club a permanent and indispen- sable one in the school. Martha Thompson, ‘15 THE ORCHESTRA The Orchestra was organized in 1911 under the direction of Mrs. Mer- ritt. The-players were Ruth List, Helen List, Helen Reynolds, Beatrice Schultz, Martha Thompson, Newell Moore, Lynn Tuttle, Frank Ree and Raymond Stone. The new members are Oscar Bischoff, Harlan Thompson, Harry Bent, Azel Freeman and Orval Wesner. This year the Orchestra is under the direction of Miss Ruth Van Pelt, a very capable Director, and she is not only a Directer, but a very talented Violinist. The Orchestra appeared several times before the Student Body and is preparing to play for Graduation and Senior Play. There are a great many pupils in the Grammar Schools studying wind and stringed instruments and we expect to have a much larger Orchestra in a few years. Vera Gammon, 713 THE UKULELE CLUB One of the most interesting features of the Music Department in this High School is the Ukulele Club. Although it has been established only for a short time, it has done remarkably well, and given much enjoyment. This Club was organized last semester when Marjorie Gillies was elected President; Jane Thompson, Vice-President, and Louise Dodge, Sergeant- at-Arms. The other members are Violet Lacy, Margaret Reynolds, Al- meda Hill, Marymae Cattern, Rosalie Davis, Sara Tritt, Vera Gammon, Helen McDonald and Edna Stonebrook. They have appeared twice before the School Assembly and at the Oratorical Contest held in the High School Auditorium. Besides appearing at these places they have played at entertainments outside of the school. Always their playing is appreciated and enjoyed. Among the many selections, the school especially favors that medley in which appears the words, “Cheese, cheese, limurger cheese; nothing for supper but cheese.” And so always is the performing of the Ukulele Club anticipated and welcomed by all. MUSIC Lewis Hummison, ’14 THE “GYPSY FESTIVAL” The “Gypsy Festival” was given at the High School on February 7 by the Students’ League. Miss Vail had charge of it, and with the assist- ance of Miss Mason and some of the High and Grammar School girls, car- ried it through successfully. There was a larger attendance than expected as the night was stormy. The singing was of the best and was heartily enjoyed by all. The curtain rose upon a forest glade. This glade was the home of a band of Gypsies. Amid their singing and dancing their Queen brings to them a captive maiden. She is plagued by the band and told that she would in the future belong to them and was to live there. The maiden strenuously objected, but all to no avail. She was forced to stay. In the second scene the maiden escaped and fled to the woods. Here she fell asleep. While sleeping a band of fairies tripped in. The girl, on hearing them, awakened and told them her tale. The fairies then promised to help her. The Gypsy Queen had in the meantime discovered the flight of the girl. She immediately started the band in search of her. They came upon the glade where the fairies were. These in the meantime had surrounded the maiden so that the Gypsies failed to find her and had to go off without their prey. The manner in which the parts were handled did credit to Miss Vail, who had trained them carefully. Wilfred E. Green, 715 THE U. S. C. GLEE CLUB Friday night, March 14, 1913, a concert was given in the South Pasa- dena High School Auditorium by the U. S. C. Glee Club, under the auspices of the Student Body. The house was well filled. The program for the most part was very humorous and exceedingly well given; everyone knew and acted his part perfectly. The whole pro- gram wah certainly of high standard and afforded an enjoyable evening to every one present. Despite the humorous part of the program, a true spirit of loyalty was shown by the Club in the singing of their “Alma Mater.” The proceeds were divided equally between the Student Body and the Club. There was a net gain of seventy-five dollars for the Student Body. Edith Wilde, 713 CECILIAN CLUB CONCERT The Cecilian Club, a musical organization whose membership includes some of our High School girls, gave an enjoyable Concert on Saturday evening, April 26. It was a varied entertainment. Margaret Siddall gave us an interesting history of the Club, its work and ideals. Following this came vocal solos by Lenore Hamm and Esta Kite, two two-pianc numbers, Marjorie Gillies and Franzes Jacobs giving one, and Margaret Reynolds assisting in the other, showing her splendid ability to advantage. Then there were numbers by the Ukulele Quartet, and songs by the Cecilian Quartet. Ruth and Helen List, both former students, gave violin and whistling solos, respectively. The talent of the girls in the Club was well apparent, and was not all musical, for Corin Dodson gave one of her excel- lent readings, responding to an encore. The last number was an ensemble of the whole Club, closing with “I Love You, California.” The girls should be well commended for their efforts, inasmuch as the entire proceeds were given to the Music Fund of the High School, pro- viding for talent at the Assembly pericds. The whole affair was planned and carried out by the girls and proved a very enjoyable entertainment. CALENDAR Sept. 16—First day of school. Cope appears with sideburns in hon- or of the occasion.

ATHLETICS FOOTBALL The under current of football agitation, which has been flowing for several years, became so vigorous this year that it overcame all resistance and rose to the surface, flooding the whole school and all the surrounding territory. Football is here, and here to stay. The welcome extended to the game and the support accorded the team throughout the season do justice to the game and credit to the school. In the face of the results of some of the games, the attitude of the Student Body is especially com- mendable. The Student Body had nothing but encouragement for the team at all times, and has nothing but highest hopes for its.future success. rome was not built in a day; neither was South Pasadena. The schocl accepted the fundamental principle of this truth and applied it to football. Hence, they did not expect too much from the team. The showing made against schools that have played football for years was highly creditable, while the tie game with Venice proved that we could hold our own with those not more experienced than we. All the fellows, except Stockman, Thornburg and Lord, will be back next year. They have had a season’s experience, in which Mr. White has taught them a lot of football. Furthermore, they have the determination to put into force the old Republican Motto: “G. O. P.” (Get off and push). That’s the kind of stuff that makes real football. The following twelve men won their letters this year: Filley, (Capt.), Allen, Powell, Cravens, Spencer, Stockman, Thornburgh, Pearson, Brown, Wyche, Peet and Foster. These men fulfilled the requirements for the winning of the letter, but the valuable work of Waddell, Lord, Gutman, Humason and Cattern must not be underestimated. WVAL TIVELOOU ATHLETICS Morell Reynolds, ’13 BOYY’ BASKETBALL Any Basketball Team that is conceded to be “in the running” for the County League Pennant must needs be “some team.” Our team was con- sidered such a strong contender for first honors in the League that its reputation frightened the Long Beach champions into putting up one of the fastest and most spectacular exhibitions of basketball ever shown by a High School Team. Throughout the season the team was constantly weakened by the ab- sence of players, through either sickness or injury. However, we could al- ways manage to send forth a team that could put up a fast, clean game, and that could generally win. Though we lost a few games, the total of the season’s scores is decidedly in our favor, and our percentage of vic- tories is one to which most schools might well aspire. We are proud of the boys, and of the work they did for us. They deserve all the credit we can bestow upon them. The result of the season’s games was as follows: 25 Monrovia Pasadena Venice Nob aay dle ot eeevek ever orecr Alhambra Long Beach Glendale Oxy JUMIONSHe as ses Santa Monica Totals 11 games played; 7 won; 1 tied; percentage of victories, 70. The line-up was as follows: Stockman (Capt.), Wyche and Boekenoogen, forwards; Cope, center; Vanden Braak and Brown, guards. Thornburg substituted equally well at guard or forward, while Lord was always on hand. to jump in at forward, when the occasion demanded. ATHLETICS Frank Roe, 714 TENNIS About twenty Tennis enthusiasts participated in the Annual Tourna- ment held tc select the four players who should represent the school. The following were the winners: First man, Frank Roe; second, Ronald Stannard; third, Wallace Wel- don; fourth, Gerald Ritchie; substitute, Ralph Wood. Our first match was with Alhambra. We journeyed over there and managed to win the first singles and doubles, thus giving us the Tourna- ment by one point. The Alhambra boys were satisfied with the small end of th e score, and we decided to have a return match on our own courts. This victory was more decisive and we won four out of six matches. Next we played Occidental Preps., getting the big end with a score of 5-3. The Pasadena Tournament was all in favor of Pasadena, 1-7. The U.S. C. Preps visited us and met their downfall at the tune of 5-3. ATHLETICS Los Angeles Military Academy had a better team than we and we lost, 3-5. We journeyed to Glendale and were taken unawares by the score of 3-5. But we decided we could do better on our own courts, so had a return match. The team showed more form and tied the score, 4-4, which was one consolation. This year has been the biggest year in the Tennis Department, and there have been many racket wielders developed. None will graduate, so here’s to a strong team next year. The courts were also popular with the girls, a few taking up the sport twice a week for the entire year. After the Basketball season, several other girls came out to chase the little white spheres over the court, and a number of good players were developed. It was decided that they would not engage in the Tournaments this year. 0 Morell Reynolds, ’14 TRACK In a school the size of ours, it is practically impossible to give equal attention to all sports, owing to the overlapping of seasons. Track season begins during the latter part of Basketball season and ends in the early part of Baseball season, and consequently is crushed at both ends. How- ever, there were a number of men this season who devoted their time exclusively to Track, and the showing of these men was excellent. Our team was strong in the weight events and in the middle and long distance runs, but was weak in the field events and short sprints. Wyche and Allen generally had the ball throw all their own way. Thornburgh won many points in the weight events. Thomson showed up well as an all-around | man. Foster and Tuttle (Capt.) were “wizards” in the middle distance runs. Louis Filley’s work in the half mile was the sensation of the year. This bird, besides taking first place in all the dual meets, entered the L. A. County and Southern California Meets, pulling down handsome silver — medals in each. Then he was sent to Berkeley to pit his skill against that | of the best runners on the Pacific Slope. Here he landed a bronze medal ' tor third place, against almost inconceivable odds. The accompanying picture shows the point winners for this season. The Relay Team, consisting of Tuttle, Foster, Lingle and Garwood, was a hard one to beat. Practically the entire track squad will be here next year. WVdL MOVUL ATHLETICS Morell Reynolds, ’14 BASEBALL Our aspiration this year was to improve over last, and make a respect- able showing against the teams that so unmercifully walloped us in 1912. The least we can say is that our hopes were fully realized, while the most we can say is that we cleaned every team in the league at least once and some of them twice. Only one game stood between us and a tie for first place. For this, however, we offer no excuses, and only point to our season’s record as being unapproached in the history of the school, except by this year’s Girls’ Basketball Team. All of our victories, except one, were decisive and comparatively easily won. This one was the second game against Glendale, on the Glendale diamond. Thanks to Allen’s home run, and timely singles by Beasley anil Stockman, we carried off the long end of a 6 to 5 score. Fancy fielding by Waddell and Thornburg also helped to save the day. Revenge is sweet, and we sure got it that day. “Benny” Cravens and Roy Pearson, who comprised the pitching staff, bore up nobly under the important task assigned them. This is their first year in High School ball, and their showing at times was phenomenal. With the invaluable work of the veteran “Heck” Stockman behind the bat, and the big league support given them by the whole team, they got away with most of the games with comparative ease. The team’s strongest point was its batting. The boys slugged the sphere for a total average of .301, which we hold to be a record in these parts. The chief offender in this regard was “Sprecks” Allen, alias Pings who set up a school record which is likely to stand for some time by liter- ally murdering the pill for an average of .577. This boy is a wonder on first, too; regular big league style. The suecess of the team is due to Mr. White’s effective and untiring work as coach, and to the individual efforts of each player. Every fellow on the team deserves special mention for his splendid work, but lack of space prevents this due consideration. Stockman, Thornburg and Reynolds will graduate this year, but that need make no material difference in next year’s team, as there is a great deal of good material available. Go after that pennant next year, boys!

Ethel Walker, ’18 GIRLS’ GYMNASIUM The Girls’ Gymnasium work this year has been different from the ordi- nary, in that no apparatus is used except Nature’s. The work consists of eight or ten different series of exercises, varied and unique. Besides the physical culture exercises the work includes grace culture, which is both interesting, beautiful and beneficial. The first drill of the year was given on Alumni Day and showed thor- ough drilling although gym. work had been going on for only a short time. There are about ninety-five girls in the variou s classes, all under the supervision of Miss Elizabeth MacKintosh. She has taken up the physica! culture work from childhood, studying in Canada, Europe and the United States, and always under the best teachers, so that she is extremely well fitted to take charge of the girls. Later it is expected that Fencing and Folk-Dancing will be introduced. In June an exhibition will be given of the regular gymnasium work and a class in Grecian Costume will give exercises in grace culture and artistic posing. nQ a 4 iS) = val ie) wa 4 (om — O ee ey SSVTO WAD STHID BASEBALL Bernard Cravens Roy Pearson Harold Stockman Glen Allen William Beasley Edward Wyche Robert Gutman Melvin Donaldson Charles Thornburg Morell Reynolds Dallas Speers Hugh Waddell GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Margaret Faires Marguerite Merryman Laura Malcolmson Marymae Cattern Lois Osborn Ethel Walker ATHLETICS TRACK Donald Lingle Glen Garwood Clarendon Foster Harrison Thomson Charles Thornburg Glen Allen Lynn Tuttle FOOTBALL Louis Filley Bernard Cravens Ha rold Stockman Glen Allen Roy Pearson ‘Clarendon Foster Bruce Spencer Vincent Peet Arthur Brown Edward Wyche Charles Thornburg William Powell BOYS’ BASKETBALL Earl Bokenoogen Gail Vanden Braak Harold Stockman Edward Wyche Clare Cope Arthur Brown TENNIS Frank Roe Gerald Ritchie Ronald Stannard Walter Lord Wallace Weldon Geo.

Drink and the Devil had done for the rest. Yo Ho Ho, and a bottle of rum.” | | JOSHES | These words have a wonderful story within a simple exterior. Analyz- ing the first line, ‘Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest,” we notice the sim- plicity of the statement, “fifteen men.” It doesn’t say fourteen or sixteen or even fourteen men and a boy. No, far from it; the statement is clearly fifteen. This is the way in which great minds work, simply and clearly. Where were they’? In other words, what were their surroundings? “On a dead man’s chest.” This is an example of poetical license, as we do not believe that over four, or possibly five men could get on the chest-of any man, dead or alive, no matter how great his chest expansion. Take the second line, ‘“Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum.” “Yo Ho Ho” shows plainly that they were of a sea-faring disposition as no other, how- ever great a bonehead, would dare to use such an expression in public. While I never heard of a sailor hoeing, it is probable that they do so, as history tells that they have been caught plowing the deep. “And a bottle of rum.” Without definite knowledge we cannot say whether the bottle was on the chest of the poor deceased, but we think likely it was under his belt. The next line is “Drink and the Devil had done for the rest.” We will suppose repose is meant by the word rest. Any man’s rest would be disturbed by either of these. We believe this explains why the fifteen men were on the other’s sternal bone—how, I won’t at present say. In looking over the context of the story we find that the word rest means the others. Substituting equals for others, we have “Drink and the Devil had done for the others.” Well, we’re glad of it, for if they were addicted to attempting acrobatic stunts on a poor lonesome corpse which would otherwise have been about its own business, it’s time something was done—preferably the offenders. In the last line where the agricultural duties are resumed, we again come across the rum bottle. If this is the same one (which I think highly improbable) there is no use of bringing it in again as it would be sure to be empty. Then let us substitute the words, “Yo Ho Ho and and a saucer of raspberry fudge,” which would be far better for the children and would at least not make anyone sick. 0.

Fill us, we wait your coming, Over the gloom-nacked plain. Fill us a brimming beaker, Now to your healthy graft, Sending our heartshorn leaping, Light as a ring-boned calf. 0. Miss Cairns—‘“I want a chair to sit on. Bring me two, please.’ JOSHES Memories Did you ever sit in the Senior room by one of the open windows, idly dreaming of the dance of next week, a new hat, a recent love affair, or some equally delightful and instructive thoughts? And while in this pleas- ant frame of mind were you ever rudely awakened from your dreams by the scent of H2S wafted in on the sweet spring breezes from the Chem- istry room above? Didn’t it make you tired? Did you ever glance furtively around the room and watch the teacher’s every move until her eyes were turned far, far away from you? Then at the auspicious moment, plump a whole chocolate cream in your mouth and just settle yourself to enjoy it—when, like a thunder clap out of the blue a well-known voice rang out, “Miss will you tell all you know about the lesson for today?” Didn’t it make you tired? Oh, Mr. Senior, did it ever happen to you? Did you get yourself nicely settled in Assembly room near some dear friend, prepare for a nice long visit, then in the midst of an animated and highly interesting conversation, feel a by no means light hand on your shoulder and a most severe voice say, “Take the front seat?” Did it ever happen to you, Mr. Senior, and didn’t it make you tired? Did you ever place a fond love note in the dictionary for some lady fair and before she could get it some unsympathetic person of the male sex confiscated it and read it aloud to a choice coterie of friends? Did it make your ears burn and didn’t it make you tired? 0. Miss Foglesong (Latin) —‘‘What comes from Gubernatores ?” Harry Bent—“Potatoes.”’ ® L.

It will be one of the most auspicious events of the season for many of our great authors and poets will be present. A unique Decoration has been planned with Apple Blossoms.

So when the harsh heart-rending sounds All through the building play, You must just grin and bear it On Oral English day. Miss Young—‘How could you treat the ‘section of land’ otherwise than description?” N. Cattern—“With a plow.” 0 At the opening of U.S. . History Class one day, Chuck Ewing sat upon a bent pin. Mr. Upjohn (calling them to order)—“By now you should be able to form an opinion of Socialism.” JOSHES G. Horner, 713 A Freshman’s Soliloquy (Apologies to Shakespeare) Shall I or shall I not; that is the question. Whether ’tis better in the eyes of the teachers To study incessantly on their respective subjects Or to employ the use of graft. And by fraud gain recognition. To study; to bluff. Which one? A serious question. To study; ’tis then the many freezes that the pupils give you; But a science which teachers devoutly uphold. To fail; to flunk: To flunk—perchance to go: aye, there’s the rub! For in that dear school life where D’s will come, When we have utilized each mental power To gain our A’s, when eighth period is used In toil and visions of the distant mountains, far-off Clunes.

After Newton Cattern had written his own excuse for the nine hun- dred and ninety-ninth time, he approached Mr. Upjohn and handed him the following note: “Dear Mr. Upjohn: “Please excuse Newton Cattern at the close of the fifth period, for I am sure he will not be feeling well at that time. MR. CATTERN.” JOSHES M. Donaldson—‘“‘What course would you recommend for college?” Miss Foglesong—“The only thing for you is discourse.” Mr. Thompson (In Chemistry)—‘“Mr. Foster, do you want to know how much longer I will tolerate your foolishness ?” Foster—“‘Yes.” Mr. Thompson—‘‘Well, one more move and out you go.” Foster—‘“Some stride, eh, kid?” (Exit Foster in two strides).

Perhaps Newt. Cattern knew his Geom. lesson and Miss Meek had fainted. I seized a glass of water and rushed to Room 22, burst open the door, and found the room in a great commotion—Genevieve Boone had dropped a perpendicular from a point upon a line. 10 JOSHES With all apologies to Miss MacKintosh! And when the middle of the afternoon came, from being a poor, pov- erty-stricken boy in the morning, Newton Cattern was literally rolling in wealth. He had, besides the things before mentioned, a deck of cards in a Tuxedo Tobacco can, two dice, seven pennies, a pocket full of poker chips, six pieces of peppermint candy, and a dilapidated old rubber band with which to shoot his fellow students. Upjohn (U. S. Hist.)—“There were 2000 engagements in the Civil War. There are nearly that number in the S. P. High School. (Pause). Some have taken a freight train and haven’t arrived yet.
