These men represent the busiest men in the city, and their presence is an honor that cannot be over estimated. Having shared in their generosity, the interested members of the high school student body appre- ciate having such men in this capacity who spend so much of their business time in our interest, without the expectation of an ounce of financial gratitude, or even a simple apprecia- tion. These men of the Board are willing to assume the responsibility and suffer the criticism of a few of their less- informed fellow citizens in order that South Pasadena may have a genuine school system of efficiency that shall realize results. But the parable of the Sower holds good here and the School Board does have sincere friends in the Student Body, and we wish most heartily to extend our appreciation to the members of the Board of Education. The Faculty Scholarship is the weather-vane of efficiency in an educa- tional institution. In this achievement our high school con- tinues to hold an honored place among its fellow schools. Any school can appreciate such a standard before the eyes of business men, and can lay their claim to the honor; but any school cannot draw a check on the convictions of South- Such authorities have placed South Pasadena in her present position. ern California educational authorities. This high grade of scholarship is dependent upon the Faculty, and when we realize our position, we cannot help but realize our responsibility to the standard which the Faculty have made possible. The Faculty’s interest in the student is not limited to the curriculum, as is often supposed by those who are not acquainted; but situated as they are, and having hearts of human sympathy or “understanding,” they hold as a funda- mental part of their business life the newer maxim, that they are here “‘to teach boys and girls, not to teach Latin and arithmetic’’; they have a vital interest in our welfare. If you are thinking that specific examples of the faculty's genuine interest in us are lacking, recall that time last winter when the teams, dusty and “‘all in’’ from the campus, had to clean up in a frosty shower and dress by the light of a couple of candles. The head of the Physics department put in the lights and secured the water heater; we, who wanted a bul- letin-board, have had our desires satisfied by the Manual Training department; our principal also presented plans for motion pictures, and in spite of the indifference of the students in regard to the proposition, he had enough initia- tive to put student indifference in the shade, and today the “movies” are a vital part of the school. This comradeship and spirit of helpfulness, manifested by the teachers toward the students, however, is having its effect, winning many good converts to co-operation. Stu- dents are inspired to grasp the purpose of lessons and to enjoy higher ideals. The Principal’s position in regard to MM ok Wace TA iy Bi Mle a � wai Wilden the “‘movies’’ reminds us of a few lines of poetry; read them over slowly and gather in their story:— ‘The world does not always rely on the chaps Who put up the smoothest appearance; They are often indeed very commonplace yaps, Sans intellect, just perseverance. After all, we are judged in our journey through life By the gray matter under our hoods, And the men who win out in the strenuous strife Are the men who deliver the goods.” Whenever we have the opportunity to put in our little word for the Faculty of our school, let us not forget our duty to them and what they have done to make ours a profitable education. WHY THESE DUTCHMEN Many readers of this Annual will wonder why this Senior Class decided to publish a Dutch Annual rather than the stereotyped Americanized publication so characteristic of ordinary high schools. The Dutch motif was the result of much study for an original, artistic and harmonizing element that would appeal to the average student without straining his somewhat overworked imagination. It is a singular fact that in high school annuals originality has hardly scratched the first strata. The origin of the Dutch idea dates back to June, nineteen fourteen, at the Junior-Senior Banquet. The zesthetic and gustatory appreciation of this occasion was so well remembered by the present Seniors at least, that they wish to extend to you the enjoyment they have derivd from a study of the quaint Dutch type. We herewith present for your approval this Annual. While not gigantic in proportion, we trust that much glean- ing has rendered it interesting and profitable reading, and that the school spirit and loyalty expressed in its pages may make it a lasting memento of happy days spent in dear old Seles Jo kas): We invite your inspection. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS In publishing an Annual, one of the greatest problems that confronts the student body of any school is the matter of securing finances necessary to carry the project through successfully. The customary way is to sell advertising space to the merchants of the home town to meet the de- one of mand. Many merchants belong to associations, whose functions is to discourage advertising in any but South Pasadena has such a Mer- chants’ Association, which felt it must sustain just such an accredited newspapers. advertising standard. But this year when, as usual, a por- tion of the Annual was put on the market for advertising purposes, a special measure was passed by the Association, suggesting that the merchants of the city donate a sum equal to the advertising space they would have taken, less the If the merchants preferred to advertise, The result has been most satisfactory for the Annual; the allotted cost of printing. however, they were given the privilege to do so. pages have been used and we have also a |'st of donations In order that a list of the page of the that have increased our funds quite materially. recognition of these donations may be made, merchants contributing is printed on the first advertising section.

In justice, this places an obligation upon our shoulders. To us and to every loyal supporter of the Annual is left the task of return- By distributing Annuals among our friends and thus attracting ing in full measure this kindness.

Every page of advertising and every donation speaks in itself for the spirit of good citizenship and good fellowship existing in the relations between the school and the business world. Last and most important, let us make it our duty to find out the merchants helping us, and, other things being equal, purchase from these mer- chants. They have spent their money with us; we should spend our money with them. Show that you are a whole- hearted, well-rounded, appreciative student, and patronize our advertisers.

The Senior: Well, the Juniors may have the best bunch of athletes, but the Seniors have some star debaters. Be- lieve me. (The Junior says nothing, but stares intently at a pennant on the wall which says that the class of ’16 was winner of the inter-class debates. ) Freshman: We have the school spirit though Just look at Ford Tussing. The Junior: Look at last year’s Annual, little one, and you ll find a page devoted to the class of 16 in appreciation of their school spirit. The Sophomore (counting on his fingers): Let's see, there’s Swartz, and Raab and The Junior: Say, what's the idea? Trying to kid us? The Senior: We put out the “News” though. get any credit for that? The Junior: You started it all right, but it’s being run by the Juniors now. Don't we The Sophomore (peevishly): The Junior class must be pretty good; you seem to be in everything. The Junior (modestly): Oh, no! We just lead in Ath- letes, Debating, Class and School Spirit, Literary Work, and Progressiveness.

(He leaves the room, closely followed by the admiring Freshman, while the Senior burrows in his desk for a sud- denly lost book and the Sophomore busies himself throwing minute particles of chalk through the open window. ) George Wheeler '1 6.

The answer comes, “Call again; nobody home.” The Class of eighteen is a star, All our teachers say we are. And while our points may seem quite numerous, I think you'll find these five most humorous. Meekness I’m sure all upper classmen will agree That Freshmen are as meek as meek can be. Ty Ignorance The saying is, that ignorance is bliss; And Freshmen never do fall short at this. Greenness Anothe r fact that everybody knows, A Freshman is the greenest thing that grows. School Spirit If in the study hall you will but look, Spirit in school goes on behind each book. The students of this High School are organized into what is known as the Student Body. This organization has been in existence since 1907. In its earlier history it was sep- arate from the Athletic Organization, but the two united in 1912. The purpose of this organization is to obtain the united action of the students on all matters pertaining to the social side of the school life, and to raise funds to support and encourage all kinds of athletics, debating, oratory and all those phases of student life that make the High School more attractive and more profitable, but which are not a part of the regular curriculum. Through the untiring efforts of Principal Upjohn and with the generous aid of the Board of Education, the Student Body was enabled this year to install a first-class moving picture machine. Every Thursday morning is now devoted to “movies.” Some very fine productions have been obtained, among the best being that of “‘Julius Caesar.”’ Because of our fortunate proximity to Los Angeles, Superin- tendent Bush has been able to procure some splendid speak- ers to address the Student Body, some of them being of international fame. As these speakers are people of high education and of very broad experience, their messages are always helpful and encouraging, as well as educational. There are many advantages in the purchase of a Student Body ticket. It only costs one dollar and fifty cents and admits the owner to all entertainments, debates, oratorical contests and all athletic games held under the auspices of the Student Body. All questions are voted upon by the members, but only those holding tickets may vote on the expenditures of the organization’s funds. Another added feature this year, which makes the tickets more valuable, ts the free use of the telephone which has been installed and is supported by the Student Body. All activities are limited by a written constitution. The appropriations and all questions not voted upon in meetings are passed on by the Student Body Board. This year the organization is represented by the following officers: WALICAC EW Eg) © Nia aes eee eee ae President INVERT IGVNDIDISINE | oe ean oe | Vice-president NIED RIS DESIUAR IRs ea mec = enemas Secretary RAE TEER ERE toca Se ih sya eee Treasurer GENEVIEVE OCHELTREE. .

ALLUMINI The success of an educational institution is measured by the accomplishments of its Alumni. The school that rejoices in an Alumni filled with patriotic zeal for its Alma Mater is doubly blest. S. P. H. S. is to be congratulated on having an Alumni that is alive and taking a daily interest in the welfare of the school. The members of the Alumni stand ready with outstretched hands to welcome the class of 1915 as it comes from the limelight and enters into the less con- spicuous but equally important background supports of our beloved school. The loyalty felt by the members of the Alumni is that of a devoted elder brother, a brother whose other duties compel him to spend the greater part of his time away from the family, but who nevertheless feels keenly the sorrow This brotherly spirit is shown in many ways. One manifestation is the willingness of the Alumni to come home and suffer the bumps and pangs of training the younger brother in the athletic sports. All idea of winning is forgotten, the only aim being to help train the present teams to the highest efficiency. and rejoicing of the home. Another way is through the big Alumni event of each year—the Alumni Banquet. Around the board on this occasion gather mem- bers of all the classes graduated from S. P. H. S._ Friend- ships are renewed, old acquaintances are warmly welcomed, On this occasion the graduating class is welcomed into full membership of this organized body, and another link is added to the chain that binds its graduates to S. P. H. S. The officers for the year 1914-1915, who also have charge of the banquet, are all from the class of 1913, and are as follows: Ward Fowler, President; Marjorie Gillies, Vice-president; Lenore and merrymaking and banter run riot. Hamm, Secretary; Morrell Reynolds, Treasurer. In one other way does each graduating class connect itself inseparably with the life of the school. Lest the under- class men forget those who have gone before them, each Senior Class presents the school with a token of its love. The class of '08 left the statue of “The Winged Victory”; the class of 09 the program board; that of ’10 a Student Body desk; '11, portraits of Carmel and San Gabriel Mis- sions; '12, a Victrola; '13, a flagpole; '14, a set of stage furniture. These acts of love and gifts of friendship have but one meaning, a united loyalty and good-will towards South Pasadena High School. JANE’S DAY Jane turned over sleepily in bed and blinked at the alarm clock tickin g cheerfully in the corner. Was it half-past two, or ten minutes past six? Well, it didn’t matter. Oh, how much better it felt to close your eyes, than to blink them in the half light, and leave them closed, and feel your- self gliding down, down a soft bank and down a mystic river and slipping on, on——— A voice seemed to call her—perhaps to keep on gliding to the sea—then the waves beat against her and buffeted her about, and the same voice, with a plaintive note, called, “Mother, I can’t get her awake; what shall I do?” ‘‘Take a wet sponge,’ a gleeful voice from across the hall called out (it surely couldn’t be mother’s!) and Jane, recalling in her dreams a time when some one had tried a sponge, sat bolt upright in bed, shrieking ‘“‘Don’t! Don’t! I'll get up!” “See, Jane, it’s stopped raining,”’ said Anna, pulling back the white curtain, ‘‘and look at the sun coming up! Ohl! isn’t it lovely?” ‘“‘Isn't it! sighed Jane happily. “‘Joy, I can wear my new patent leathers and white stockings over to Mary’s.”’ Fe “Don’t put them on yet, Jane; you know this is Satur- day,’’ interrupted her mother’s gentle voice. “Oh, yes; I forgot; how I do hate to sweep, she added, mutteringly, as she pulled on her soft, shabby old slippers. The hearty, country breakfast over, the family dispersed to their respective duties, Jane to her much loved sweeping. Armed with broom and dustpan, she peeked in at the door of the gloomy “‘best parlor,’’ and with a grim look of “‘do or die,’’ she bolted in and shut the door. HPN boned j iM fi MILE By half past ten she had finished all the rooms except her own, and as she wound her clock she noticed how late She remembered that Mary had said that if she got there early enough to help pack the lunch they could go to the woods and cook it themselves, over the little stone stove at the lake beach. ‘“‘I'll just leave my room until I come back; no, I won't, because mother’!] see that it isn't done, and make me do it. _I'll whisk everything under the bed. There!’’ and dust and pins flew under the bed and settled in rolls. it was getting. The beloved patent leathers and white stockings were on, and Jane was twirling before her mother for inspection. Be- ing supplied with a handwerchief she sallied forth. As she slammed the front gate behind her, she heard a voice from the barn call after her, ‘Ho, Jane, wait for me; I’m going over to Uncle Sam's to get that axe for father.’ Jane sat down on the gate, getting more impatient every minute of Finally she called up to him that she wouldn't wait another minute in that hot sun. ‘You don’t have to sit in the sun,” retorted her brother, crossly, ‘‘you'’d be in the shade on the post” but, “I don’t care,”’ said Jane “I'm going on. ” And she jumped down from the gate and started at a brisk pace down the road, swishing her dimin- utive skirts absurdly. When she reached the strip of woods, where the little river ran, she glanced back up the hill and discerned a figure come flying out of the front door. She knew it was Arthur and an evil thought took possession of her. She would hide under the bridge and wait for him to pass and thus escape his crossness. She began to run, and reaching the bridge, climbed over the railing and let herself down; but her foot slipped at an unlucky moment and she waiting. F iy a found herself dangling by both arms over the swiftest part of the river. Arthur was coming around the curve to the bridge and heard her ridiculous little gasp as she dangled. Looking over the railing he beheld a stiff, pink skirt and a shiny, black boot. “Well, Jane, why don’t you drop? It won't hurt you.” “It will. I don’t want too,’ ended Jane firmly. ‘Don’t be a ‘fraid-cat’—drop. little wet, and you can dry off at Mary’s.”’ Jane. ‘“‘l’ll hang here until some decently kind person comes along; ‘till doomsday, if need be, but I won't drop—I will not,” and the sight of a shiny patent leather toe added vigor to her statement. “Oh, all right; keep on hanging, if you ve a mind to,’ and Arthur strolled on, whistling aggra- vatingly. When he reached solid ground again a faint cry from under the bridge made him turn. ‘Well!’ he grum- bled. “‘Oh, Arthur, I can’t hang on any longer, and | can’t So Arthur turned, and slipping down the muddy bank, he splashed into the river. “The current’s too strong out there, Jane, I can’t stand up; can’t you come over here a little way? You'll only get a “T won't,”” said climb up again; please help me!” There now! I'm steady, but let yourself down gently, else we'll make a grand splash.’’ But Jane’s tired arms c ould not hold her any longer and—splash!—they tumbled down together into It rather knocked the breath out of Jane to fall so suddenly into such icy water, and when she came to the surface and scrambled to her feet, shaking the water from her head, her feelings were not much gratified to behold Arthur standing, dripping from head to foot, shaking with laughter. She turned disdainfully and walked gingerly through the water to the bank. As she lifted her foot out of the water to set it on the back she was astounded to see the river. her cherished footwear still shining cheerfully through the rivulets running off of it, and she therefore made a false step and took her second plunge. It was very muddy in that particular spot, and Jane, strug- gling to grasp a tall weed on the bank, missed it and fell— plumpsh!—into the soft mud and water. She was so wretchedly disappointed and provoked at all the world in general, and felt so helpless and ‘“‘mad’”’ that she simply lay there and let the tears trickle down her poor, little muddy face.

A NIGHT ADVENTURE IN CHINA Graham crept cautiously up a low ledge and peered over into a bamboo thicket beneath him. He was boar-hunting with several other members of the Consular Force who had taken up their summer quarters in an old temple at the foot of one of the highest and wildest mountains in the Kwanh- sien Range. He was sure that he had seen a movement in the far side He swung himself over the ledge to investigate more closely. But the drop was farther than he had thought and a quick pain in the foot told him that a bamboo grove was not the wisest place to jump into backward. A sharp stump had cut the straw sandals which he had foolishly worn and made a wound some half inch deep in the sole of his foot. The pain of it made him dizzy, and catching hold of a nearby tree he Then as his mind cleared again, he realized that he had not seen the rest of the party for a long while. He had wounded a boar at the beginning of the hunt and had been so elated by this suc- cess that he had started to follow his game without telling the others. Where was he anyhow? Now that he looked about him he could not see a single familiar landmark. His of the grove. There it was again! leaned against it for a few moments. range of vision was limited by the trees and underbrush around. He caught sight of an opening in the forest above him, and thinking to get a better view there he decided to make for it. First taking the cover off his pith helmet, he improvised a bandage for his foot and cut himself a cane; then with considerable difficulty he started climbing. “Was there ever a slope quite so steep anywhere else in the world? Or one with so many roots and stones either?” he thought to himself, as a particularly sharp stone caught his foot and made him wince. “There's the opening now!”’ he was going to exclaim, but no, it was only a glade with a small brook trickling through it, and tall trees arching overhead. He was grateful for the cool water and took a long drink; but the red rays of a set- ting sun filtering through the leaves filled him with a quick alarm, for he had forgotten the flight of time. It was bad enough to be lost—he was sure now that he was lost—in these wild, lonely mountains in broad daylight; but at night, black, thick night, with its unseen terrors! It was not boars that he was afraid of now, for he was too high up to be near their usual haunts. Boars were not the only dangerous ani- mals, however, and he thought of the raids of a midnight visitor to the valley. Only a leopard, the natives said, would come so near the dwellings of men as to carry off their cattle. This thought made him hurry forward with renewed energy—just where, he did not know. The short, Eastern twilight deepened rapidly. Graham suddenly realized that he was going on the down slope. He had probably missed the opening and had come right over the brow of the mountain. He wanted to keep as near that opening as possible; besides his foot was throbbing pain- fully. So he retraced his steps to a flat, thinly-wooded spot which he had noticed in passing; and, sheltering himself be- tween a large rock and the trunk of a tree, settled down to keep good watch for any night prowlers. For perhaps an hour he peered into the gathering darkness about him. Then gradually the strain of his wanderings became too much for him, and he dropped asleep even in that cramped position. ial! ; | WE ae lf Wes mit, Lhe MEL OS Several hours later he woke up with a start and looked around with the strange feeling that something was going to happen. There was a bright moon shining through the tree tops, making weird moonlit aisles here and there. A blundering bat flew silently by, brushing Graham's cheek with its cold clammy wings in passing. The latter was quite wideawake now, listening to every rustle, every sound. What was that! but closed only on the empty case. His hand instinctively felt for his revolver, With a shock he real- ized that the holster was too large and his revolver had probably dropped out as he jumped into the bamboo. He had even let the cane fall on the other side of the stone. He could do nothing but wait. There was one patch of moonlight which had a peculiar fascination for him. leaf that stirred. Graham listened breathlessly. He was staring intently into the uncertain light when out of a dense shadow into the moonlit patch came a great tawny leopard, which stood lashing its tail, where Graham a few feet off, could see its size and strength and each separate black marking. It turned its head right toward the tree. The green, glittering eyes seemed to be fixed upon him, and the white teeth gleamed in the half light! Every muscle grew tense! Gra- ham shrank back, expecting the spring—when suddenly the great, lithe cat turned and glided into the forest beyond as stealthily as it had come! He noted every shadow in it, every There was that soft padded noise again! There was no sleep remaining for him that night, for though he saw no more of the Lord of the Mountain, every slightest rustle put him on the alert. When at last day broke, and he ventured out from his + ae (i) e Hs) ed ill shelter, he found to his astonishment that he stood on the brow of the great mountain directly behind the old white temple. Straight ahead lay a narrow wood-cutter’s trail, and following it down the mountain side he rejoined the company in time to tell his tale at the breakfast table. Edna Ewan, '18. BITS OF SPRING Drip of the rain in the whisp’ring leaves, Step of the Spring in the vale; In the budding woodlands a mist that weaves A twisting, violet trail. Song of the lark in the sun-drenched blue, Hum of the lustful bee; O’'er the flower-starred meadow a web of dew, Like a shimmering, fairy sea. Splash of the wheel of the lazy mill, Drone of the miller’s song; In the lap of the mountain a twinkling rill, That bubbles and murmurs along. Sigh of the birch by the drowsy stream, Flash of the blue-bird’s wing; In each close-folded bud a captive dream That is freed by the touch of Spring. Edith Walker °17. I lie Tue ONCE AGAIN Jonathan W. Swift was a retired banker who had plenty of money, and a daughter who helped him spend it. He also had a hobby, and that was the collecting of antiques. He was ‘an all wool and a yard wide’”’ searcher for ancient orna- ments, and he belonged to that great class of Americans He bought Turkish rugs, woven in the Bowery; relics of the battle of whom the foreign sharks greet with open arms. Waterloo, manufactured by the carload in nineteen fourteen; and, with equal cheerfulness, skulls of Napoleon in three sizes. He had been “‘stung’’ many times, and he cheerfully admitted a few of them, but as perseverance was Jonathan W.’s middle name, there was no such a word in his vocabu- lary as ‘‘quit.”’ Gordon Keith, his next door neighbor, said that Jona- than W. was like an ostrich, as fast as his feathers were plucked they grew out again for the next sharper to pull. Jonathan W. tolerated Keith for two reasons: First, be- cause Keith was going to marry his daughter; and, second, because he had a sneaking admiration for that frank, good- natured young man, who was constantly poking fun at his hobby. But at last Swift knew that Keith’s usual remarks would have to give place to congratulatory ones, and even now he was pacing back and forth in his library, at frequent intervals stopping to gaze with rapt admiration at a dark mahogany writing desk set in one corner, then rubbing his hands together and chuckling softly. Suddenly he listened intently, again chuckled softly, and in another minute greeted Gordon Keith, who entered the room. Gordon ey “amps ays rhs mh fs jaf iy i ik a an y} HDA (Bah Pi suits SAS was a well set-up young man of the American business man type. “Well, Mr. Swift,’’ “T hear the antique bunco men have steered another one on you.” This is a gen-u- It is the very was his pleasant greeting, “Not this time, my boy, not this time. ine; got it in England, from a bankrupt Duke. desk used by King George the Third.” As he lapsed into his favorite and well worn channel, Jonathan W’s chest came up several inches.

In the meantime Keith had been examining the desk. “T guess you got a real one this time. I can pick no law in it so far. If you will open it up, I'll look on the inside Otaiten Swift produced the key and opened the desk. On the inside it was even more elaborately carved than on the out- side. Keith could find no flaw in this, until he came to the artistically carved figure of a Cupid on the front. This he found to be loose, and upon examining it was greatly surprised to have it, under his touch, slowly move to one side and disclose a small drawer, as nicely hidden as could be desired. Keith’s amazement was nothing to that of Swift's. His eyes fairly bulged out of their sockets, and his breath came in short gasps, as if his collar were slowly UL, choking him to death. After a few minutes he gained enough breath to explode: “It’s a secret drawer, isn’t it?”’ “Not what it appears to be to me,”’ responded Keith. “Probably the king’s secret drawer,’’ said Swift, more to himself than to Keith. historical document pertaining to the destinies of the col- “Probably contains some paper, or onies; some secret message never found.” “No doubt,”’ dryly answere Keith. The more the idea of the paper in the drawer enlarged in his mind, the clearer he saw Keith's baffled face, and his own triumphant one, as Keith would take the paper out of the drawer and find it to be very thin—the kind kings use, and on it a message that would necessitate the rewriting of He would take it to the Historical They would receive it with joy, give him a medal, a life membership, and his name would appear in the papers and magazines.

What are you laughing at?” Keith handed him the drawer, for he couldn't speak. Swift took one look, gasped, took another, then gave a half groan, a half wheeze and sank into the nearest antique chair.

BROOK CHILDREN Upon the hill the children are calling, Calling for me to play; But I linger to watch the water falling, Falling and running away. I sit on the rock and make no sound, But listen to what they say. The pool is the quietest child of the brook, Placid, and so sedate; But the waterfall has such a hurried look, She seems to be always late, And she pleadingly calls, “‘Don’t go till I come.” The pool answers softly, “‘I'll wait.” E. Reichenbach 1 7. MARRIAGE CUSTOMS Marriage customs are far different in China from Ameri- can ways. In America the boys and girls generally meet each other first at some social function or through school life. Then the man thinks he likes the girl, gves to the girl’s home and sees her, takes her out to parties, theaters ty Aca yA Wt and various places, and brings her flowers and candies. At last they fall in love with each other and, of course, the man asks the girl to marry him, and she accepts his addresses. Thus they are engaged, the girl wearing on the third finger of the left hand the diamond ring, which he gives her. Then she gets ready to marry, tells her friends about her future husband, and talks about him almost hourly. After all the preparations have been arranged they go to a church to be married by a priest, then off to some place by themselves for some time, which experience the people call a ““honey- moon trip.’ I wonder what the American girl would think about Chinese marria ge customs, where the gir! and man never see each other before the day of ceremony. Only the match maker, whom the bridegroom's parents send to the bride’s house to arrange the match, sees the bride, and then only a glimpse of her, for she runs for dear life to hide The date for the mar- riage is set, and in the meanwhile the bride-to-be must re- in some closet for fear of being seen. main in the confinement of her room for fear any man or even her brothers or father may see her. months of confinement she is obliged to cry upon all her relatives, both of the dead and the living, in order to show her respects to them for her bringing-up and to show how sorry she is to leave her old home. At last the wedding day comes. She is dressed in a simple dress, her head cov- ered with a red handkerchief, and she is carried to the Wedding Chair, which conveys her to her husband’s home. Fire crackers are burned just as she leaves her old home and just as she arrives at her husband's place. She is conveyed by the match maker over the flame of light in a pan, lest by any chance she be accompanied by evil influences. Then During these 5 ' at nay i hal it the bridegroom comes into the bride’s room and takes the red handkerchief off her head. first time, but goes away without saying a word to the bride. If an American girl should find herself in such a situation, | am positively certain that she could not endure the follow- ing nights when all the friends of her husband come to tease the bride. red, with huge open work collar, loose jacket and long, ribbon-like arrangement of skirt. A glistening red and gold bridal crown is on her head, with a veil of pearls looped back from her face, and she appears arch and smiling. Then all the men, when they see her coming into the room, de- mand that the groom and the bride walk around the room together and hold each other's hands, and that the pearl veil be hooked back in order that all may see her face. She is made to ask her husband what he gains by marrying her and other similar questions. Then she has to go around the room saluting and offering tea to the various gentle- men, and in all this teasing she must be quiet and gentle even if they are rude to her, because all these actions are to prove the best of her character, cleverness and patience. Thus the Chinese bride becomes a member of the house of her mother-in-law, subject to new habits and ways of living, while the American girl goes to a home of her own and plans her own future.

I wiped the steam off a portion of the window, and peered out onto a scene of confusion caused by the unexpected shower. People were scurrying to and fro in an attempt to get to shelter. Diagonally across the road, Mrs. Murphy could be seen, with a newspaper over her head, hustling and bustling around her patent clothes-drier in a desperate effort to get her Monday’s “‘wash”’ into the kitchen before it re- ceived its second drenching. Rusty gates slammed and rattled on their hinges. Small school children scuffled and scurried home, coatless and umbrellaless, through the down. pour, to their prospective noonday meal of steaming bean soup or sizzling eggs; while directly across the street, little Tommy Jones pressed his flat nose against the window-pane and surveyed the scene with glee. Down the middle of the street splashed the butcher wagon with the butcher boy standing on the seat desperately lashing the four-cornered horse into that animal’s highest speed, a syncopated trot with the accent on the left hind foot. Presently, having created sufficient excitement, the rain contentedly subsided into a half-hearted drizzle, and finally stopped as the black cloud passed over and allowed the sun to laugh down on the result of its frolic.

There is an undertone throughout the room, when the Speaker's mallet again hits the desk, and his deep voice thunders forth, ‘And the House will come to order.” At last the gentleman from Indiana is finished, and the applause which follows is one of relief rather than one of appreciation. The gentleman from Kentucky next has the floor, and as he is slightly edified through the imbibing of some pleasing spirits he amuses the House by some witty sayings, among which is that he disagrees with his be- wiskered friend from Indiana.

The Student Body has co-operated in a most gratifying manner and the school has made its best showing for many years in debating. For the most part the subjects chosen for debate were up-to-date, live issues of the time, and were instructive to the audience-at-large as well as to the individuals participating. Miss Dickinson gave much of her valuable time in helping the debators plan the logical arrangement of their material, and many strong points were suggested by Mr. Upjohn, while Miss Hall’s training in the delivery of the debators was invaluable. In fact, everything tended toward making this year a red-letter year in our High School Calendar. Southern California Debating and Oratorical League The debating is grouped under three heads, the first being those of the Southern California Debating and Oratorical League. South Pasadena has always been a member of this League, and the first debate was with Whittier High School i Ai) Hi ; HUG = I ee nani f) Sos Miho,” hy “bith = “ny. wing Fat i X fA EE i aa on November 20, 1914, at Whittier. The subject was, Resolved: ‘That the United States Government should own and operate all telephone and te legraph lines in the United States.’’ Whittier, represented by Earle Chapman and Henry Parks, upheld the affirmative; while South Pasa- dena, represented by Genevieve Ocheltree and Henry St. Pierre, defended the negative. The score was 176 2 3 to (83 1 3, in favor of South Pasadena. The second debate of the League was with Compton High School, January 22, 1915, on the question, Resolved: ‘““That the Monroe Doc- trine is no longer tenable, and, therefore should be repudi- ated.” Compton supported the affirmative and South Pasa- dena the negative. Our debators were Henry St. Pierre and Sherman Freeman. This time also the decision was given to South Pasadena by a score of 195 to 172 2 3. The next debate, held on March 26, was a preliminary for the championship debate. Los Angeles High School vs. South Pasadena, and San Diego High School vs. Anaheim. The winners of these two groups were to form the cham- pionship debate. Our debators were Genevieve Ocheltree and Sherman Freeman. The subject was, Resolved: “That all immigrants coming to the United States who cannot read and write in some language should be excluded.” South Pasadena had the affirmative and Los Angeles the negative. The debators worked hard, and although the score was 181 2 3 to 201 in favor of Los Angeles, South Pasadena has the right to feel that she also shared in the victory. So it is that we have tasted the joy of victory and bitterness of defeat; but with it all we have the knowledge that valuable experience has been gained by the participants, which, after all, is our one object in perpetuating the insti- tution of debating. Southwestern Debating League The second division is the Southwestern Debating League, which we entered this year for the sole purpose of giving unexperienced material the opportunity to receive some prac- We did not expect to make much of a showing with regard to score, but everyone who tice for coming years. attended these debates will agree that our new material for next year is the best prepared that has been put into the debating field yet. The first debate was with Huntington Beach and Glendale (these debates being simultaneous), on the subject of Compulsory Arbitration in the United States. Wallace Weldon and Mary Black debated at Glen- dale on the negative side, while Clement Meserve and Lester Reid debated at South Pasadena on the affirmative side. It was a splendid subject and was well developed by both sides. The second of this series was with Polytechnic High School and Huntington Beach . The subject for this debate was the advisability of governmental ownership of tele- graph and telephone lines in America. Bessie Bradbeer and Edward Filley represented us at Huntington Beach, and Mary Black and Charles Cooley debated at South Pasadena. Both of these teams did exceptional work and the school is proud of them. The last debate was with Huntington Park and Manual Arts on the subject, ““The Monroe Doc- Robert Hadden and George Sherwood formed the team which journeyed to Manual Arts, and Clement Meserve and Harold Haan formed the team which remained at the home school. Consistent and earnest work was put in on t his debate, and the debators deserve much credit at the hands of the Student Body. trine as a peace agency in America.” Sil Music has played a more important part in the High School life this year than ever before, and the grade of music used has been of a higher quality. Mrs. Bartlett devoted her time last year to selecting the musical talent in the school, and grouping it into various organizations. This year the results have been remarkable. There is a Girls’ Glee Club of thirty-five members, a Boys’ Glee Club of twenty-one members, two Boys’ Quartets, a Mixed Quar- tet, and an orchestra of twenty-five members. There is also a band and a Ukulele Club. Concerts The Occidental Glee Club entertained us on Friday even- ing, January 22, and the U. S. C. Law School Glee Club gave a concert on Saturday evening, February 13. Both were much enjoyed. The Cecilian Club held a concert in the Oral English Auditorium on Friday morning, January 15. They gave a delightful program, consisting of piano solos, vocal and violin solos. Their concert is an annual event much enjoyed. The Cantata On Saturday evening, March 27, the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs, aided by the orchestra, gave a cantata, ‘““The Crusaders.’’ This is a scene centered about Jerusalem, and is a story of love and war. The music is of an unusu- ally high quality, and required long, carefull drill to bring out its full beauty and harmony. The members of the Glee Clubs took their parts especially well, and easily made the production the best in a musical way that has been done The Cantata consisted chiefly of solos, but the chorus work was also important. The orchestra added greatly to the martial feeling of the play through their selections, and the whole performance reflected great credit upon Mrs. Bartlett. for years. The Musical Festival The second annual musical festival was held at Covina, on Friday, March 26. Compton and South Pasadena joined in the festival, and Monrovia, Citrus Union, Covina, the program showed what the smaller schools are doing The Girls’ Symphony Orchestra, of Covina and Citrus Union combined, and the Monrovia Boys’ in the musical line. Band were considered among the best in the instrumental numbers. South Pasadena had the largest and one of the best glee clubs, and the only mixed quartet.

Taken altogether as a year's work, the plays given have been better staged, better re- hearsed, and consequently better acted than can be said of productions of former years. Two of the five plays were written by local playwrights, giving thereby an added interest. A movement was once on foot during the year to form a Dramatic Club, but this was smothered by other interests, or perhaps was not urged sufficiently to bring it to pass. At any rate, the club was not organized, but it is to be sincerely hoped that as the school increases in size, such an organiza- tion will be started and dramatic work taken up as a real art. “The Co-eds”’ Lois Thorne, Billie Powell, Florence Kohler—Co-Authors. “The Co-eds,’’ a pleasing musical comedy of three acts, was written and presented by members of the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs, under the able direction of Mrs. Bartlett on Friday evening, November 20, 1914. It represented life at boys’ and girls’ boarding schools, and the experiences The first act gave the life at the girls’ institution, while the second gave that of the boys’ school. The third act included the big Hallowe'en party given by the girls for the boys, and many clever little stunts given at the Hilda Wyche made an unequaled “colored mammy,”’ and the Yama-Yama chorus of their members. party deserve honorable mention. was snappy, almost professional-like, we might say. The party was drawn to a grand finale by a serpentine march ” with the entire chorus singing “California and You. Fraulein Schnell’s Deutsche Klasse An interesting and unusual entertainment was given on Friday evening, February 5, when the advanced German Class presented an excellently acted play entirely in Ger- man. It was full of humorous situations from beginning to end, and every one, even those who could not “‘sprechen Deutsch” could follow the play easily. The general inter- woh ‘tend : 4 it Mi ‘tial MA est was heightened by the splendid acting of the pupils and the elaborate synopsis prepared by Miss Hoag. To her care and capability lies very largely the success. The pre- Wallace Weldon as Frau Engel was a big hit; Helen Morton was a charming star as leading lady; Faith Smead was a perfect ““demure little maid’”’; the vaudeville dancing girls were very graceful. “Zwei Neger,” alias Glen Aron and Bruce Spencer, gave several mandolin duets, and while the audience was puzzling over which was which, Glen grinned and the answer was no longer in doubt. Another feature of interest was the pres- ence of the author, Frau Malwing Lampadius, who made a short speech to the audience. sentation had many special surprises. Un Salon By Gracia L. Fernandez Although French plays have been produced previously to this year, “‘Un Salon’’ has never been equaled in the inter- esting quality of the situation, the staging and the acting. Miss Fernandez not only proved herself a playwright, but a stage manager and director as well. The unusual costuming was attractive, and the salon was artistically arranged. The speaking was clear and the acting was exceptionally good. Although a formal reception is a difficult situation to act gracefully the individual parts were well taken, giving a Jane Mary Thompson and Merrill Tritt were very gracious hosts; Dana Dunton proved to be an excellent butler, confused by nothing, and retain- pleasing effect as a whole. ing his dignity through trying circumstances; Henry St. Pierre deserved mention for his well acted part of the French Consul. Other features were two beautiful solos given by Madeleine Brown and Mary Ostrander, and a dainty, grace- ful dance by Priscilla Dewar and Florence Erwin. Junior Play Up to this year the Senior play has been the one real achievement in the line of dramatics. This year, however, Miss Hall, the dramatic coach, realizing that there was gen- uine ability in the Junior Class, decided to produce a Junior play. The news came as a surprise to the entire Student Body, as well as to the Juniors, and a great deal of enthu- siasm appeared at once. ‘The play, which was selected by Miss Hall, was “The Deacon’s Second Wife,’’ and immedi- ately after the announcement try-outs began for the selec- tion of the cast.

Every detail in the entire production was well worked out, and the Juniors of next year, if they give a play, have a high standard to live up to in the line of dramatics.

Every rank in life is represented by the promenaders on this night in May— beautiful society senoritas, accompanied by their duennas; the “‘galanes’’ of Madrid on their way to the Casino; nuns and monks passing to vespers; types of the beggar, newsboy, street-vender and flower girl; brilliant young army and navy officers strolling with diplomats about the Prado while earn- estly discussing affairs of state. The lights of the Prado fade as the strollers pass from view. Soon the romantic strains of ““Adios, Amor!’’ sound on the evening air. —The two serenaders, muffled in mantos, remain in the shadow of the wall until the fair one appears at the grating above and the message of the rose falls at the lover's feet. Again the scene changes, the promenaders return for the literary and musical program the casino is presenting in the plaza. In turn the throng is delighted by the singing of “La Golondrina’’ by Louis Thorne, and “El Viajero Er- rante’’ by Josephine Walker, two Spanish tiples; the danc- ing of the by Isabel Richards and Flora Sommer, two young girls of rank; and the reciting of “‘La a tribute to the sonorous Castillian “jota aragonesa”’ Lengua Castellana,” tongue. The, with one accord, the serious and gay alike sing rev- erently the National Hymn of Spain. The Senior Play This year’s Senior play, under the splendid management of Miss Hall, promises to be the best ever presented in this High School. Its strength may be in a small degree meas- ured by its very name, “The Lost Paradise.’’ It is con- cerned with the labor problem, especially in the factory conditions, and works out the solution that brain and brawn are mightier than wealth. The principle and the magnetic power of the entire play make it one of human interest and The Seniors, appreciating the fact that the play is a heavy one, and that Miss Hall’s earnest and consistent drill is invaluable, have The class is justly sympathy, with a strong appeal to every heart. co-operated with her in every detail. proud to be able to present such a worth while production, and the result is forthcoming. One of the best features of the play itself is that there is no marked leading role, and that all the parts are strong ones and all are necessary to make an “‘all star production.” Try-outs were held for the members of the cast, and after the entire class had tried out the following cast was chosen: Mr. Knowlton, owner of the Knowlton Iron Works, Merrill Tritt Bessie Bradbeer Rosalie Davis Mrs. Knowlton, his wife Margaret Knowlton, their daughter Reuben Warner, superintendent of the W orks, Henry St. Pierre Ralph Standish, last leaf of the family tree.

The anxiety may be accounted for by t he fact that the invitations had called them to a “Dutch Banquet,’’ and this might mean anything, even “wieners and sauerkraut.” The doors soon opened to disclose an aisle marked by bowing Dutch boys and maidens. The boys, self-conscious and bashful, in the blue knicker- bockers which they were supposed to have discarded long ago, and the girls, altogether charming in true Dutch cos- tume, even to the pigtails and wooden shoes, served delicious American food, much to the relief of those present. As the Senior Class colors were yellow and white, coreopsis and Shasta daisies decorated the tables and the stage. At each side of the stage windmills were placed, equipped with colored lights, which went on and off as the wheels went around. A cabaret and orchestra, composed of members of the Junior class, also in Dutch costume, played and sang Some of the musical num- bers were of special interest, including several transpositions of the Dutchman’s immortal song, “Oh, Where, Oh, Where, Is My Little Dog Gone?”’ After the toasts, which immedi- ately followed the dinner, the guests turned their chairs to face the stage and were happily entertained with a skit in which the future of the Seniors and Faculty were foretold. In this skit Bruce Spencer made the “‘hit”’ during the six-course banquet. of the evening Me PY i a i when he sang forty verses of a song concerning “Joshua Ebenezer Fry.’’ When the curtains had gone down for the last time on the bowing actors, the Juniors sang their class song, which had been composed for the occasion. After this the guests soon took their leave, fully appreciative of the delightful time which the class of ’15 had shown them. Mary Harbor 15. Senior Jolly-Up at Oak Park On the evening of September 26, 1914, the Seniors col- lected at Oak Park for their first “‘jolly-up’’ of the year. Throwing off their newly acquired dignity they proceeded to have a genuine good time. Under the soft, gleaming light from the Japanese lanterns they chatted and laughed and disposed of the delicious lunch which lacked absolutely nothing to make it perfect. Then they became ‘‘just kids’’ again and played drop-the-handkerchief and equally foolish and happy games. After the last glowing ember of the bonfire had died away and the last song had been sung to the accompaniment of the ukuleles, the weary wise ones wandered homeward. M. Becker °15. Senior Pin Party On Tuesday, February 9, all under-classmen were wild with curiosity to know what the Seniors were going to do with “‘Gym. ’ Various curious souls rushed around asking, “What's the big idea?’’ “Why the excitement?’”’ ‘‘Are you going to get your pins?’’ The Seniors’ met in the Gymnasium about 4 o'clock, after a few unoffending but stubbornly curious Freshmen had been “‘shooed”’ out. The ET. eect Hany aca ! Whi ih first and most important item was the distribution of the pins, which (needless to say) are absolutely the finest, cutest, dearest, most original pins that ever adorned the coat lapel of a Senior. Last to receive a pin was Mrs. Oneal, who was presented with one by the class as a slight token of their appreciation of her labors in their behalf. Next on the program came several games, which caused a great deal of merriment. It was certainly amusing to see Mrs. Oneal in a man’s coat and vest, with a derby perched atop her fair curls, escorting to the best of her ability Wal- lace Weldon in a skirt and waist, with a straw hat adorning his head. Other games were played, and a Virginia reel was the climax of hilarity. Then last, but by no means least, was Mrs. Freeman's “‘feed’’—just the things that hungry Seniors love, chocolate and sandwiches, and—and—O, lots of good things. AN; JEUNE Y{ 5)- A Jolly ‘‘Jolly-Up” The Senior Class was delightfully entertained by Lillian Whiting at her attractive home on Fair Oaks avenue, Satur- day evening, April 24, 1915. The house was beautifully decorated with Cecil Bruner roses, the artistic work of Dorothy Brickels and the hostess. The evening was full to the brim with hilarious fun, and almost every Senior was there to contribute his or her share. After a long evening of amusing games, delightful refresh- ments were served, and the guests reluctantly took leave of their charming hostess, declaring that no other Senior Class had ever enjoyed such a Senior party as this one. Tillie Bauer ’15. High School Follies The Football Rally Each year the annual rally that precedes the opening of the football season is becoming more important and larger in all its dimensions. This year the industrious Freshmen were initiated into service the night before the rally, and the surrounding country was searched for logs, railroad ties, boxes, excelsior and everything else that could be burned. One huge pyramid on the football field greeted the wan- dering eye all next day, and that night the finishing touches in the way of final peaks were added. About 7:30 an immense crowd of students had gathered around the pyra- mid, and as the gathering dusk invited a blaze our Student Body President applied a match to the structure. Then the excitement began. With a pile of boxes for a rostrum, mem- bers of the Faculty, Alumni, and the football squad spoke. Amid songs and cheers each speaker was ushered to the rostrum. After an hour or two of singing, cheering, and speaking, the crowd was directed to the building where “eats” were served. Many, loathe to leave till the last spark had gone, returned to the field to s ing and yell and watch the glowing embers. In many hearts was a deep conviction that such a propitious beginning of the season T. Bauer ’15. must surely have a happy ending.

Mr. Upjohn met us at the door, and during the ordeal of unmasking, various mustaches, wigs, and caps were slightly disturbed; but once we got inside we were safe enough until we were obliged, so to speak, to enter Hades (formerly called the library), where the darkness was so thick it was clammy, and where writhing serpents crawled over unseen, but scarcely unfelt, horrors. Reaching the hall in safety at last and feeling rather weak, we proceeded to the assembly room, where the mas- queraders were enjoying themselves.

Mrs. Freeman’s Feed To be on a winning football team may have its hardships in the way of hard practice and training rules, but the rewards far exceed the hardships. One glad surprise for the team this year was the supper served them by Mrs. Freeman. They were invited over to the cafeteria after practice—twenty-three hungry football players—and were served with a full plate in cafeteria style. On that plate crowded chicken pie, potatoes and cranberries, and then followed ice cream and cake—all one could eat. It is hinted that Bennie Cravens repeated the last course six times, but it hardly seems possible, physically. After all the small appetites were appeased the squad was entertained by the Victrola and later by a recital from Harold Cass. Before leaving the boys gave a series of yells in true “Tiger fashion, which Mrs. Freeman enjoyed very much, since she had never heard anything like that before! R. Cravens ‘18. Mr. White, Host to Football Men The members of our championship football team gath- ered in the Domestic Science building Saturday evening, December 5, at 6:30, as the guests of Coach White, to partake of the “‘best banquet ever given in these parts.” Of the fifteen fellows present, there is not one that does not say, in the most forceful way possible, that it was “some feed!’ The table was situated beneath a canopy of orange and black ribbons, interwoven with smilax, and every detail of the repast was carried out in strictly foot- ball style, except, perhaps, that the guests were served by very charming young ladies. But let that pass. —The menus were a work of art in themselves. Small brown leather footballs reposed neatly on the top of each card, below which was a miniature orange and black pennant inscribed thus: “‘S. P. H. S.—Championship, 1914.’ Opening the menu we found, the “Line-up for the Last Wild Game of the Season,”’ which, by the way, was turkey.

This year on Friday, December 11, 1914, the girls turned the Botany Laboratory into a bower of green and red, and entertained two dozen or more football braves and the faculty with a delightful banquet. Gor- geous poinsettias and trailing greens greeted the eye and Immediately fol- reminded one that Christmas was near. lowing the bountiful banquet were the toasts with Superin- tendent Bush as the entertaining toastmaster of the evening. The following toasts were responded to: “The Ethical Value of Football,” Mr. Upjohn. “Absentee Observations,’ Mr. Green. “This Year and Last,’ Mr. White. “My Limping Team,’’ Captain Spencer. “White, the Man Behind the Gun,’’ Robert Hadden. “Senior Pep,” Almeda Hill. “The Junior Contribution,’ Laura Malcolmson. Later entertainment was afforded by shadow pictures, representing various football terms in fantastic guise. All went home declaring they had had a splendid time. F. Kelley °15. 5 Taw ane i PN MOM aeET asa rs EeEE “ LICH TE IS aR pee Cae is hor One of the most important of the new activities which the school year of 1914-15 ushered in was the work in journalism. Heretofore the nearest approach to actual journalistic work has been the work done on the Annual. Not that the Annual does not afford real experience along these lines; it does, decidedly, as anyone who has ever been connected with its production will testify, and it is still the big journalistic event of the school year. those upon whom the responsibility rested, had to acquire But formerly such knowledge of journalism as was necessary after they were elected to the Annual Staff. Therein lies one of the most desirable features of the work on the High School News, and the class in Journalism. This year, through the courtesy of the South Pasadena Record, which has kindly allotted to us a page each week, it has been possible to conduct a weekly high school paper. Added to this, Mrs. Oneal has voluntarily conducted a class in Journalism, which met every other Thursday after school. It is largely due to this preparatory work, and to Mrs. Oneal’s unabating interest and tireless efforts, that the ‘News’ has achieved its marked success. Too much cannot be said of her helpful assistance. Special mention must also be made of the splendid work of Glen Aron and Theo. Perine. It is comparatively easy to follow a well-marked trail, but to blaze your own trail is quite another matter. They were equal to the occasion, however, and put the ‘“‘News’’ on the road to success very commendably. The ‘‘News’’ was piloted through the first semester by a staff composed of: Glen Aron, Editor-in-Chief; Margaret Reynolds and Genevieve Ocheltree, Assistant Editors; Theo. Perine, Business Manager; and Mrs. Oneal, Faculty Advisor. Robert Hiles, Lynn Spencer, Helen Robinson, Laura Malcolmson and Rosalie Davis. The reporters were: Due to the fact that the staff for the first semester was composed of Seniors, and that the Seniors had to assume the responsibility of producing the Annual, the staff was changed for the second semester, placing the destinies of the “News” in the hands of the Junior and Sophomore classes. Those on the staff for the second semester were: Robert Hiles, Editor-in-Chief; Helen Tuttle and Edith Walker, Assistant Editors; Billie Powell, Business Manager; and Mrs. Oneal, Faculty Advisor. The reporters were: Almeda Hill, Bruce Rogers, Edward Filley, Lynn Spencer, Rae Telfer, Rachel Stillwell and Ford Tussing. have been the department reporters who reported about Continuous through the year once every six weeks. Following is the list: Helen Tuttle, Rachel Crane, Robert Hadden, Gerald Ritchie, Faith Smead, Gladys George, Glen Allen, Ruth Thompson, Catharine Howard, Violet Ingram, Marguerite Perry. Progress is always marked by a willingness to adopt new ideas. South Pasadena High School has proved its progres- sive spirit in being one of the first schools of its size to realize the value of the moving picture machine as an asset to school life; primarily as a means of education, but also as a means of entertainment. To Mr. Upjohn, our principal, the full credit of the undertaking belongs, and his persistent efforts are responsible for its successful completion. Thus, at the beginning of the present school year, there was a substantial foundation upon which to work. The work was carried on with renewed vigor, until, within a short time, the fund had been raised to two hundred and thirty-five dollars. The matter was then presented to the Board of Education, the Student Body offering to buy the machine if the Board would pay for its installation. Finally, after careful investigations made by experts from the Gen- eral Film Company, it was decided to install a machine if a satisfactory demonstration of the practicability of the project could be given. Arrangements were accordingly made with the General Film Company. The demonstration proved a success and the Board of Education immediately commenced operation. A galvanized, iron-lined, well-venti- lated booth, which harmonized with the room as well as if it had been built there originally, was constructed, a high- grade screen purchased, and the assembly room equipped with special curtains for darkening. The Student Body then proceeded to fill their part of the agreement by purchasing a strictly up-to-date Power 6A motion picture machine;— and motion pictures in South Pasadena High School were a reality! On Saturday evening, February 20, 1915, the first exhi- bition was given. The subject was a six-reel production of “Julius Caesar.’’ From that time on occasional paid enter- tainments were given in order to pay for the reels which were shown during school hours for educational purposes. During the last two months of school the policy was adopted of showing the Pathe News once a week and it pleased both faculty and students generally. From time to time films put out by different corporations were obtained, show- ing the workings of large business concerns. Next year we are looking forward to greater things for the “‘movies.’’ An appropriation measure of ten thousand dollars has been passed relative to the producing or pur- chasing of educational films by the State Board of Educa- tion. With this additional advantage and prospects of greater funds for rental of films, indications point toward a brilliant future for “‘movies’ in S. P. H. S. R. Hiles ’16. b22k = The Student Body Book Exchange The Student Body Book Exchange is one of the successful institutions in the school, established, owned and operated by the Student Body, which has lead the students to appre- ciate more fully the value of the Student Body organiza- tion to them as individuals. It was established in March, 1914. At first it was operated largely on an experimental basis, but before the close of school it was a successful business investment, having paid all its debts and having a good stock on hand besides. This year it has grown stead- ily under the able management of Edward Filley, with Ralph Wood as assistant and Robert Hiles as bookkeeper. The stock has been increased and better facilities and better methods of serving the students have been instituted. Through the Book Exchange students may purchase at reduced cost all supplies required in the high school, and second-hand books. The Book Exchange does not buy second-hand books but sells them for the students, charg- ing them only a small commission. The small per cent of profit which is charged is used for Student Body activities, thus rebounding to the benefit of all. The Student Body Book Exchange has proved its need and worth and has come to stay as a permanent institution in connection with the Student Body organization. The Book Store At the beginning of the year the school extended its business activities by establishing a book store, handling therein all the new text-books required in the High School. This new undertaking has proved a great financial success It was begun without a cent of mo ney, the first installment of books being purchased on credit. It was not long until the proceeds from the sales were sufficient to meet all obligations, leaving as well as a great convenience to the students. on hand a fine stock of books for the beginning of next year. Not only have all obligations been met, but the book store has considerable cash to its credit. Thus it not only has a good stock on hand but it is now working on a firm finan- cial basis. Since it is the only book store in South Pasadena it has served as a great convenience to the students, saving them the time and expense of going to Pasadena or Los Angeles for their books. The profits which accrue will be spent for Student Body purposes, thereby indirectly giving back to the students the benefits derived from the success of this undertaking.

Pan pap nn iba ana The Season “The third time is always a charm.’’ Such has been the case with the South Pasadena High School football team. After the battles of the third year of American football the South Pasadena ““Tigers’’ have proved themselves to be the undisputed champions of the minor league of Southern California. Since the introduction of American football in South Pasadena High in 1912, the teams put out have been a great credit to the school and have shown a very marked improvement every year, under the able coaching of Coach White. This year, as one of the smallest schools in the league, South Pasadena has decisively defeated schools that exceeded her several times in number. After several practice games, the majority of which were victories for South Pasadena, the first league game was played with Venice, October 24. The team fought a hard game and won 19-0. It was a great victory, as it gave the team a fine start, and gave the players the confidence that comes only from winning. The game with San Pedro, October 31, proved an easy victory for South Pasadena. The San Pedro team was a game one, but it lacked speed and experience and journeyed home with the short end of a 33 to 0 score. The game with Inglewood, November 7, brought South Pasadena a glorious victory, and with it the championship of the minor league of Southern California. It was a great day for football, and the crowd of loyal enthusiasts (three auto trucks) crowded around the field to see one of the greatest football games ever played in Southern California. South Pasadena’s confidence in her team was not misplaced, for the speed and skill of the ‘“Tiger’’ offense has seldom been equaled ona “‘prep” school gridiron. With the first whistle the South Pasadena warriors got the start on their opponents and played as a unit from the start to the finish. Result— South Pasadena, 32; Inglewood, 0. November 14 brought South Pasadena its only defeat. The team, accompanied by an immense crowd of rooters, journed to Santa Monica to return defeated, 6-0. lamentable that the last league game of the season had to be a defeat, but South Pasadena may be justly proud of her It was successful season. Alhambra High School preferred the Corona Road Races to a Thanksgiving Day game, so forfeited to South Pasa- dena. Summing up the entire season, South Pasadena High School has had a team that has equaled, if not surpassed, any that ever represented a Southern California High School. To Coach White, more than any other one, belongs the honors of the 1914 championship. By his hard and con- sistent work he developed a team that went through a long and difficult season with only a single defeat. All honor to the coach. Champions Captain Bruce Spencer, right end. ‘‘Doc’’ was a demon at breaking up the end runs of the opposing team, and was certainly not slow at receiving forward passes. As captain and leader of the team ‘“‘Doc’’ deserves all the credit and praise one can give him. In making holes for the backfield and gaining yards on tackle around plays, Free- man proved a red letter man. Tom Sanson, right guard. Tom filled a big hole in the line and won a name for himself as a hard-fighting guard. Foster Kelley, center. Kelley held down the center posi- tion in fine style. He passed well and was always in the game. Bruce Rogers, left guard. Rogers proved to be a hard- fighting guard and played an excellent game when called upon to play full. Vincent Peet, left tackle. “Vinnie,’’ all nerve and grit, was the hardest playing man on the team. George Sherwood, left end. Sherman Freeman, right tackle.

The game was really a try-out for the team. Allen and Freeman showed up well in playing on the defense, while Beasley, Hadden and Kelley attended to the offensive part of the program. The second game was held with Glendale, on their courts. The game was hard fought from start to finish, but the final score was 49-34 in favor of our opponents. This game revealed the team’s condition and lack of practice. Glen- dale had been practicing two months compared to our two weeks. The next game was with Covina and resulted in a defeat for us to the tune of 41-23. We were not ashamed of this defeat, as Covina proved to be one of the best teams in Southern California. The lack of good team work on our part, as yet, was easily apparent to the observers. It was a fight royal with our neighbors from Alhambra when they came to South Pasadena. In this game Captain Allen and Freeman, with their splendid defensive work, won the game. Dewar, who had developed into a hard fighting forward, and Hadden, the other forward, with Beasley as guard, did practically all of the offensive playing and did Results show in the score, 24-16.

The last game of the season was with Harvard, and we showed that we had truly worked into fine condition by de- feating them in a rough and fast game to the score of 33-20.

BASKETBALL TEAM The track season this year was one of the most success- ful that we have ever had in the history of S. P. H. S., and we proved that we were as good as any school of our stand- ing. We won all of our dual meets; and placed well in the other meets, bringing home one permanent trophy cup and many medals and ribbons. The first meet, held with Whittier, was an easy victory for us, the score being 78-35. In several events, we took Powell took the low hurdles and high jump and several second places. Cravens and Sweet won the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes, respectively. Spencer won the shot and Allen took the discus. “Old Reliable” Wood won the mile and the half in easy fashion, while the rest of the squad gathered in a score of points. all three places. The next dual meet, with Compton, was won by the score of 70-43. The great hit of the day was Wood, who won the mile, half, and took third in the 440-yard dash. He might have finished better in the 440-yard race, but as Fey and Dillingham had the first two places, he slowed down in order to save himself from exhaustion. A dual meet was held with our rival, Alhambra, in which the field events were eliminated. We came out of the clash on the long end of the score of 42-26.

In other events, medals were won as follows: 100-yard dash, Cravens, 3rd; 220-yard dash, Cravens, 3rd;880-yard dash, Dillingham, 3rd; mile, Wood, 2nd; shot put, Spencer, 2nd; pole vault, Rogers, 3rd; 220- yard hurdles, Powell, Ist. Several school records were broken and undoubtedly they will stand for some time. Powell ran the low hurdles at the league meet in 27.2 sec., lowering the former record by | 4-5 sec. Rogers raised the pole vault record 9 inches by clearing 10 feet, 3 inches. Wood ran the mile in the fast time of 4 min., 50 1-5 sec., lowering the former record by 6 4-5 sec. Spencer heaved the shot 40 feet, 10 inches, beating the old record by 3 feet, 4 inches. The members of the track team feel that their success was due very largely to the untiring efforts of Coach Green. ex % op? i éy SY 3 Md ip fu Hh You ti i wabbalen ten Ue “Well, they’ve gone and done it again,”’ and the baseball championship once more reposes in the hands of S. P. H. S. The winning of this pennant culminates the most successful athletic year in the history of South Pasadena. The team lost but one game during the league schedule, and that to Glendale, whom they later defeated in the deciding game of the season. Three times they were forced into extra inning games, but each time pulled out victorious. The first league game was played on the home grounds, Saturday, April 10, when the Tigers outclassed the Comp- ton nine, |2 to 2. The next Saturday South Pasadena journeyed to Monro- via to nose out a 3 to 2 victory in ten innings. It was a close and exciting game from start to finish and well repaid the few rooters who made the trip. The next game, Covina at South Pasadena, was by far the most hair-raising exhibition of the national pastime ever pulled off in South Pasadena. When the last of the ninth inning came around the Tigers had but one score—Allen’s home run in the seventh—on their side of the sheet, while Covina possessed three. With two out and two strikes on the batter the crowd started for the gates, but wait—Per- ine gets to first on an error, Dewar and Hadden both single, and the bases are full. Sherwood, the pinch hitter, draws a walk, forcing in one run, and the rooters crowd the side lines. Cass, the next man up, singles infield and the score is tied. Then follow the tenth and eleventh with both teams nip and tuck. But in the twelfth Cravens singled, stole second and third, scored on Beasley's hit, and the game was won. On Wednesday, May 5, Alhambra fell victim to the Or- ange and Black ball chasers on their own diamond, 7 to 4. South Pasadena scored four in the first inning, practically cinching the game. The next Saturday Glendale traveled to South Pasadena and proceeded to beat the locals 8 to 3. Bidwell of the visitors pitched class A ball, allowing but five hits, and striking out ten. He also hit safely three times, one of these being a home run. The Tigers, however, did not play up to their usual form, and made several costly errors. The third extra inning game was played with the Los Angeles Catholic College nine on the local diamond Satur- day, May 15. It proved to bea slugging and booting match for the first seven innings, and at the end of the ninth the score stood eleven all. In the tenth Cravens drew a pass and advanced to third on the sacrifices of Allen and Verry. Bob Hadden, according to his custom, slashed a single be- tween third and short, scoring Cravens and winning the game. s whiz it Ch i The team took a ride out to Harvard Military Academy Saturday morning, May 22, and proceeded to place them- selves on the long end of a 9 to 7 score in an uninteresting fray. The main feature of the game was the batting of Cass and Spencer, who rapped out three hits apiece. The crowning victory of the season was won from Glen- dale, Tuesday afternoon, May 25, on Baer field, by the score of 3 to 0. Wood pitched for the Orange and Black, and only twice did a Glendale man get as far as third base. He hurled an exceptionally good brand of ball, and the team backed him up in first class shape, several times pulling him out of deep holes. Verry starred at short, and rapped out two telling hits. The invincible Bidwell did not seem to puzzle the ‘“Tigers’’ in the least, and they hit freely in the pinches. Following are the personalities of Coach White’s pennant winning team: A hard working cap- tain and deserving of boundless praise for his leadership. Far famed for his perfect bunting and speed around second base. It will be a hard job to fill his place in the infield, and we regret that he has to leave us. Allen, catcher. Considered by many as the best catcher playing high school ball. Captain Bill Beasley, second base. “Sprecks”’ His perfect peg walked many an opposing runner back to the bench. His heavy hitting was the terror of many pitchers, and his clouts generally went for extra bases. “Hag” Cass, center field. Our dependable lead-off hit- ter; good for at least one hit a game. A fast man on the bases and noted for the hook slide. ‘‘Hag’’ fielded his posi- tion in good style, cutting many men out of possible hits. Too much cannot be said of his performance on the mound. As a steady and reliable hur- ler, he is far famed. A hard hitter and a streak on the paths, he will surely be missed next year. Herb. Dewar, first base. and spearing wide ones. Ben Cravens, pitcher. A demon on scooping low balls He hit well in the pinches. He will be with us another year, and is expected to develo p into a star first sacker. Bob Hadden, third base. Bob fielded the most difficult corner of the diamond in Al style. His whip to first was perfect. He hit when a hit meant the winning run in many instances. He will be back next year, much to our delight. Theo Perine, left field. ‘“Theo’’ is the jad that cavorts in the sun field; and by his daring thievery of apparently sure base hits gained the wholesome respect of the entire league batting list. Along with Dewar, Spencer and Had- den, Perine helped form our quartet of prince manufacturers of real “‘pep.” Lynn Spencer, right field. good style and seldom fanned out. of the “pep” so necessary for a winning team. Sophomore and should develop into a. star. Lynn fielded his position in He also supplied most He is but a Earl Verry, short stop. Verry covered a large area of ground around short stop, and although he did not hit a great deal in the early part of the season, his batting im- proved greatly towards the last. Ralph Wood, pitcher. Last, but not least, we come to “Poordope’’ Wood. He demonstrated his ability in the last Glendale game by letting them down with ‘nary a run. He has another year with us and will no doubt prove a win- ning first string hurler. ’ Bais? zs = aas Es) ANS a é Sy, ia Beacas: | SOS nn a ) Monday, Sept. 14—School is opened.

The result of a paternal governmnt would be to definitely de- stroy all initiative, the well spring of progress. Initiative produces competition and competition promotes progress, while progress promotes the welfare and happiness of all. No great invention has ever been developed to a point of usefulness, except through individual initiative and effort. Had we had public ownership of public utilities for the last 50 years we would never have had the electric light, the electric railway, the telephone or any of the numerous mechanical and electrical devices that add so much to our comfort and convenience. To adopt public ownership now would mean the absolute stoppage of £ all further development of the wonderful agents of civilization we now have and preclude the inven- tion of other helpful agencies in the future, because it will instantly kill “‘initiative.”’ The Home Telephone Automatic System is the result of initiative and competition. Both are essen- tial to progress. oe aS oaSaSaa4__cSsa«);$� “—«s$ $s ——o— Ae YOUR FAVORITE BREAD AND BUTTER JEVNE’S, HOLSUM, BRADFORD'S AND BLUE RIBBON BREAD A. A.

HART, President 332-34 South Broadway Los Angeles Pasadena Riverside San Diego the The Best School Should be selected. How can you tell which is the best? You can’t afford to sample them all, or to try them on as you doa garment. It is wisdom, therefore, to select a school of HIGH STANDING—one whose thirty-one years of effi- ciency has developed force, character, stability, and prestige. To earn money in business you must have an education that will enable you to render MONEY-EARNING BUSINESS SERVICE. Such an education, coupled with self-confidence, legiti- mate self-assertion, and a pleasing and forceful personality— all of which qualities can be developed—will make you ab- solutely independent. Proper self-interest should cause you to exercise due diligence and discretion in selecting a business college. Don't hunt a bargain school except on the basis that the best school is always the best bargain. The ISAACS-WOODBURY has been the leader in Los Angeles since 1884. It is now in its very prime—progres- sive, up-to-date and STRICTLY BUSINESS. ‘The Success of the Student” is our motto—AN EDUCATION WORTH WHILE our constant aim. Enrollment now active.
