Ass’t Society Editor Page Nine all The 1917 “Copa de Orn” HE 1917 “Copa de Oro” greets you. Tis with a glad heart that we say this, yet ‘tis with a tear for we are on the threshold of life. South Pasa- dena High School, with all its splendid environments, has given to us knowledge, efficiency, and spirit for four years and our time has come to depart. So with this frail volume of the “Copa de Oro” we greet you and at the same time say farewell. But a word about the book. First and foremost we must extend our apprecia- tion to our advisor, Miss Agnes F. Murdoch, for her ever willing and helping counsel in the compilation of this book. To the Art Staff and Mrs. Emma M. Bartlett we wish to express our gratitude. We are proud of their work and further mention of this department will be made in later pages. Then the Busi- ness Manager who so successfully financed the whole affair, we thank with all our hearts. And to Mr. Kinney, our loyal Principal, the Class of 1917 wishes to extend their appreciation and gratitude for his help in both a literary and a busi- ness way. In this edition of the “Copa de Oro” the staff has endeavored to present hap- penings of all kinds that will be of interest to those who glance at it in the years to come. So we'll tarry no longer on this note of introduction and farewell; with heart, mind, soul and body, and in the grand old spirit of 1776, judge the contents for yourself. Carpe Diem EIZE the opportunity—so these words have been translated freely; but the application and interpretation must be entirely personal. Do we make our own opportunities as we are so often advised, or do we seize those which present themselves to us? After all, opportunity is not a tangible thing to be accepted by some and passed along by others. Rather, it has its personal appeal to the individual just so far as it has any relation to his work, It exists in the separate mind amenable to each need, and useful only as a stepping stone for a particular line of endeavor. So, when the class, as Juniors, adopted the motto they had no feeling that they should lay siege to every school activity; or that they should adopt a policy Page Ten a of aggression in their work. But rather they wished to take rightful charge of those functions lawfully theirs and in their performance of those functions so conduct themselves as to deepen the already mutual respect between th em and the remainder of the school. As Seniors this policy has been strictly adherred to. During the Redpath Lecture Course their only effort was to perform their duty wisely and efficiently that they might live up to the best of the school’s precedents and not that they should set new or unusual ones. By seizing the opportunity they have not striven to accomplish the unusual or to set new examples but rather they have constantly tried to live up to the best things the school stands for; and in their own policies to reflect all that is noble and idealistic in their surroundings. They seized the opportunities the school had to offer and hoped that they had left them unsullied by all that was common and spectacular and that they themselves had gained much in true nobility of purpose. Military Craining HE advisability of establishing, in the schools of the United States, a mili- tary training system is one of the foremost questions before the minds of the American people at this time. Many movements are being made along this line already. President Wilson, in his address to the West Point graduates, says that the chief thing holding many people back from enthusiasm for any form of prepared- ness is the fear of militarism. He also gives us this definition for militarism, “Militarism does not consist in the existence of an army. Militarism is a spirit, a point of view, a purpose. The purpose of militarism is the use of armies for aggression. The spirit of militarism is the opposite of the citizen spirit. In a country where militarism prevails the military man looks down upon the civilian, regarding him as an inferior and as long as America is America that spirit and point of view is impossible to us.” Colonial Cimes E have often wondered what the old Atlantic coast was like along about the time of 1776. Some of us have even said that we would like to have lived during the period when Paul Revere rode to Lexington and announced the approach of the Red Coats. _ Although that time has faded away, we love to read the history of those times, see books, pictures and documents, that were used by our forefathers, and along with that, imagine how they looked, dressed, and acted. So that is the reason the Class of 1917 decided to use the Colonial idea. We are endeavoring to submit to you modern welfare in antique fashion. Page Eleven H. W. HUNTZINGER G. W.

KINNEY Principal American History-Economics A WORD FROM THE OFFICE HERE has never been a day quite like the one that is before you, bright with promises, filled with opportunities, and teeming with responsibilities that must be met with courage and with skill. None have faced the task with higher ideals, keener resolve, or more thorough preparation than you possess. The community that has so richly endowed you with a high school education has a right to expect that you play your part fearlessly and efficiently. “Today is your day and mine, the only day we have, the day in which we play our part. What our part may be in the great whole, we may not understand, but we are here to play it and now is the time.” May the day’s work bring happiness to you and to those with whom you toil!

Being the president, Enterprise rose first to speak. “Dear friends,” she said, “we are met together today to discuss the question of guardian fairies for each class of the South Pasadena High School. I have made a list of the names of those students, who, I find, have the most incentive and class spirit. The majority of these belong to the Sophomore Class. It is my opinion that our dear Ability should be made guardian of this class, which so richly deserved her. All who are in favor of this, will please signify it by rising.” With one accord the fairies rose, and gathered around the lovely Ability, con- gratulated her on her good fortune. Thanking them prettily, she sprang into her golden chariot. drawn by the morning and evening stars, and disappeared in the direction of S. P. H. S. I have since visited the realm of the fairies and find this to be their slogan: “No wonder the Sophs are renowned far and wide, The fairy Ability with them does abide.” ELSIE KIMMEL. THE DESERT The train was slowly winding its weary way across the desert in a blaze of white sunlight. From horizon to horizon there was no cloud to cast a shadow, and the deep sky poured its resistless flood of life upon the vast, dun plain with savage fury as if to beat into helplessness any living creature that might chance to be caught thereon. The desert, receiving that flood from the wide, hot sky, mys- teriously wove with it soft scarfs of lilac, misty veils of purple, and filmy cur- tains of rose, pearl, and gold; strangely formed with it wide lakes of blue rimmed with hills of red and violet. Only the strange, silent life, that the desert had taught to endure its hardships, was able to live there and only the hard growth that the ages had evolved was able to endure that terrific heat. In that view of such mag- nitude, where miles meant nothing, there was no hint of man save a slender thread of road that was soon lost in the distance. CLIVE BECKER, ’18.

You will return and without a doubt will say “You are right, absolutely and entirely yours is the freshest of the fresh.” Now Webster in his unabridged gives two distinct and individual kinds of freshness—a sarcastic and an otherwise. We are the otherwise. For a more definite view of us let us take Webster’s own definition relating to freshness i. e., 1. Possessed of original life and vigor ; unimpared ; sound. 2. Lately produced; not stale; not dried or preserved ; in good condition. 3. Ina raw, green, or untried state. 4. Renewed in vigor; alacrity or readiness for action, hence tending to renew vigor. This is an exact summary of our class. It fits us to a T. DORIS FOWLER. IMP SIN MsUE, SCSOOLIS YOu If you want to go to the kind of school Like the kind of a school you like, You try your best, and show the rest, It’s not for you always to strike, But show your school some “pep” and spirit, Don’t wait, there’s plenty to do. It’s a knock at yourself when you knock your school, It isn’t the school—it’s you. Real schools are not made of “kids” afraid. Lest somebody gets ahead. When everyone works, and nobody shirks, ‘You can raise a school from the dead. And while you make your foundation stake, Your classmates can make one too, Your school will be what you want to see. It isn’t the school—it’s you. —August Sperling, “19% Page Thirty-six Che Romance of Lady Kathleen Sir Thomas was a mighty knight A flow’r of chivalry ; His lady love right fair was she, But sorrow deep met they. For the father of fair Kathleen, By name Lord Parasite, Had picked for her one villainous count W ho locked her up by night. It fell about the Martinmass, When nights were long and light, Sir Thomas came and sang real low, Beneath the lofty height. She looked out of a lonely hole, And gave a mournful sigh: He said, “Come down to me, my love, Or I shall surely die.” She tried very hard to scale the wall, In the face of terrible harms; But the rope gave way and let her fall Right into brave Thomas’ arms. He placed her on his sable horse, And off they rode like time: The villainous count woke up too late His bride and rival to find. —Margaret Aron, ’20. Page Thirty-seven Page Thirty-eight Sy ij =a a ‘S i S 3 ay June 10, 1917 Just ten years ago, I was graduated from S. P. H. S. Those years have passed very rapidly. There were only six of us, and we are all married now. Dr. Marion Burns, the only man of the class, has become distinguished as an osteo- pathic physician, still living in South Pasadena. CLASS OF 1907. junem lee Oe When June comes around, we always think of our High School graduation day. We had eleven in the class—nine girls and two boys. Only three are married, two are teaching, and two are in business. Mary Gillies is in Y. M. C. A. work in Ohio, and others have moved away. CLASS OF 1908. June 12, 1917 It doesn’t seem eight years since I was graduated from S. P. H. S., but it certainly is. Of the twenty in the class, five are married, five are teaching, and one is at home. Welford Seay has acquired a reputation as Pasadena’s athletic coach, and eight are engaged in other lines of business. CLASS OF ISG2), June 13, 1917. Can’t help thinking of our graduating class seven years ago. There were only sixteen in the class, but they are spread out all over the United States, and even one is in China—Dwight Baker, who is teaching there. Six are married and living in or near South Pasadena. Mildred Keith and Eunice Atkinson are both in our city library, five are engaged in business in Los Angeles and South Pasadena, and three are living in the east. CLASS OF 1910. June 14, 1917. Just had a class reunion and it’s queer that all of our fifteen members are still living in California. Four are married and settled down, four are eugaged in the art of teaching the younger generation, and four are following some particular line of business. Helen Mason is probably the most individual, being prominent in musical circles of the city. Weare also represented at U.S. C. CLASS OF 1911. Jfieime 15, WIA Received a letter from one of my old classmates this morning. She says that three of our class of twenty-six are now nurses in the Pasadena Hospital, and five are teaching. Harvard University and Stanford each claim some of our grad- uates and the business world claims nine of them. There are only two of the class that are married, and two others are attending schools in other parts of Cali- fornia. Gladys Thacker is in the Mission work in India. CLASS Ole WAZ. June 16, 1917. I just happened to find my graduation program today. We certainly had a good time in old S. P. H. S. We had a big class, too—forty-eight. California, Stanford, U. S. C., Occidental, Pomona, and Throop have accepted some of our graduates; one girl is a nurse in the Pasadena Hospital and eight are in business in Los Angeles. We have lost one member by death, Bertha Miller. Seven of my old friends are teaching, and seven are married. The others have either moved away and I cannot get in touch with them or they are just staying at home. CLASS OF 1913. Page Forty June 17, 1917. My high school days have mighty pleasant memories for me, particularly my Senior year. The class is certainly scattered now. We are represented in U. S. C., Pomona, Throop, California, Pott’s Business College, Occidental, Stanford, Whittier College, and Normal. Two of the girls are married, and four are just at home. Thirteen are identified in the business world, and death has claimed one member, Vera Van Eman. A number of the girls are teaching, and some of them have moved to the East. CLASS OF 1914. June 18, 1917. Mercy! I never realized what a large class we had until I started to locate everyone. Fifty! and they are scattered all over the country. Twenty-four of the members of the class are either going to college or normal. Genevieve Ocheltree is married, Bernard Cravens has proven himself quite an athlete, and Margaret Reynolds is now an accomplished musician. We have lost one of our members, Foster Kelley, by death. Ten of the members of the class are considered business men and women, even the profession of nursing is represented. Several are at home. CILZANSIS; OY SAL), Jfetare IQ), Wenz, This year has been mighty interesting, but when summer comes, I have to think of last June—my graduation. The class is scattered, but we keep track of one another pretty well. Eugene Collins is married at last, and George Sherwood has held up our athletic honors. Stanford has one of our representatives, Occi- dental has seven, and other colleges are equally fortunate in having our graduates. Five are attending business college and eleven are working. George Wheeler is in Boston, Dorothy Nicolls is living in Hawaii, four are staying at home and one is “oxombae” aie S, 1P2, lal, Sy CILANSS Ol WOO, CR NS Page Forty-one Page Forty-two Student Body Offirers CHARLES DODGE APRIL NEWTON GLADYS BOEKENOOGEN RAY BRAHAMS WILLIS BUSH South Pasadena, fair, Eer thy colors we will wear, And a strong fight we will dare, For our Alma Mater.

Page Forty-three THE SPUDENT BODY HE officers of the South Pasadena High School Student Body organiza- tion, elected last spring, began their work in earnest at the beginning of the fall term. The president has endeavored to gather up the stray ends of school spirit and the yell leaders have introduced new yells and put a little “pep” into the old ones. The financial department has had its full share of work. The treasury gave assistance to the Seniors until their bank account was organized and has supervised the funds of the motion picture, book store, and book exchange departments. In all, the treasury has handled over seven hundred dollars this year. In assembly calls, the students have heard many excellent speakers, viewed several motion picture films, enjoyed programs and skits by the students and per- formed their business duties with alacrity. The school indulged in an unofficial presidential election last November and re-elected Woodrow Wilson. In all departments the Student Body activities have flourished and have made the school all the more appreciative of the cooperation of the students in this organization.

Now, with such a fine house, built entirely of happy nuts, which, you know, are very, very scarce, Grumble should have been smiling, as he came out of his front door one bright morning, but he was not; he was scowling. Even when he passed his beautiful well, which was a silver cup with “Baby” engraved near its top, he did not stop frowning, only muttered: “It has a hole in it.” and went out of the gate. Poor Grumble! On Maple Day he was to have married Princess Honeybud, the most beautiful princess in all the land, but now! It chanced that he had remarked to her with a sigh: “T qwish I hada pair of golden shoesY for the wedding!” “Then,” the Princess had said, “go and find them.” And furthermore, she had absolutely refused to marry him until he should appear, the next Maple day, in a pair of gold shoes. Now, where to get such a pair of shoes Grumble did not know, for he had never seen or even heard of any, and besides, his feet were so big that when he went across the river in the lily-pad ferry, he had to let them hang out behind, so that there would be room for another passenger. But he would rather lose his feet than the Princess Honeybud, so, on this particular morning. he was starting, with a scowl on his face, on his search for the shoes of gold. He traveled along all day, and finally, towards nightfall, he was walking down a rocky valley when he came upon a group of pygmy-dwarfs, who, of course, are dwarfs as big as your little finger, and these pygmies were sitting in a circle, cut- ting gold coins as tiny as the head of a pin, froma great block of solid gold. When they spied Grumble, one of them shouted: “Stranger, we must carry this lump of gold under yonder toadstool, for it is nearly dark, and we cannot manage it alone. Will you help us?” “T will if you will cut me out a pair of gold shoes,” said Grumble. “What!” cried all the little dwarfs, “a pair of shoes! Why, it would take half our gold!” “Very well, then,” replied Grumble shortly, and started off. “Come back!” chorused the dwarfs, “and we will do as you ask.” So Grumble carried the gold under the toadstool, the dwarfs made him a pair of shoes from the gold, and next morning he started back for the Make-Believe Country. But the shoes were so heavy that he could scarcely walk, and he had Page Forty-six not gone many miles before he was so tired that he could go no further. At last he decided that he must leave the shoes behind, and look elsewhere for a lighter pair, so he took them off and sorrowfully started on again, and at noon was in the Fairy Meadows. Before long he saw some Sunshine Fairies playing tag over the buttercups. Soon one of the fairies caught sight of him, and flying up, said in a tiny voice: “Stranger, there is a toad under the buttercups who frightens us terribly. Will you drive him away?” “T will,” agreed Grumble, “if you will make me a pair of shoes from that golden sunshine.” “Why!” said the surprised fairy, “we will have none left to dance in!” “Very well,” and Grumble proceeded on his way. “Wait!” tinkled the fairy, flying along by his ear, “we will make you a pair of golden shoes if you only frighten the dreadful toad away.” So Grumble scared the toad, the fairies made him the shoes, and he merrily started home again. But he had not gone far before the sun went behind a cloud, and, happening to look at his feet, he saw that he had no shoes. Now of course shoes that would disappear whenever there was no sun, were of no use to Grum- ble, so when the sun came out again, he took off the shoes, threw them into the air, watched them out of sight and started out once more upon his quest. By and by he came to a forest, and in the forest he came upon an old, old woman, spinning golden thread under a willow tree. “Sir,” said the old woman, when she heard Grumble’s footsteps in the leaves, “my eyes are dull, and I cannot see to untangle my thread. Will you help me?” “Yes,” said Grumble, “if you will spin me a pair of golden shoes.” “But, I have only one bundle of flax left,” replied the spinner. “Never mind, then,” interposed Grumble hastily, and was about to add that he would untangle her thread for nothing, but, thinking better of it, was starting off when the old woman called: “Stay a moment! Only help me and I will do as you ask.” So when the thread was untangled, the old woman spun Grumble a pair of gold shoes, and with great joy, he turned his steps towards Princess Honeybud. But, as tired from his walk, he lay under a hedge asleep, a fat robin unraveled the shoes to build him a nest of gold thread, and when Grumble awoke once more he was again without golden shoes. F “Alas,” he sighed, “golden shoes are not for me. It is nearly Maple Day, and whether I have them or not, I must return to the Make-Believe Country.” So he sadly turned back, for the last time. Passing a great hollow tree, the nest of giant bees, he observed that one of the bees was caught fast in a pool of golden honey, and would soon be drowned. “Stop fanning your wings,” he shouted, “and I will pull you out.” So he pulled with all his might and at last helped the struggling bee free from the honey. “What can I do for you in return?” asked the bee gratefully. “Nothing,” answered Grumble, “except direct me towards the Make-Believe Country, for I have lost my way.” The bee pointed out the right road, and the afternoon before Maple Day, Grumble arrived at the palace of Princess Honeybud, and was ushered into her presence. “Princess,” he said humbly, “I found no golden shoes.” “But look!” cried the Princess, “there they are on your feet!” Grumble looked down in amazement. Sure enough, there was a pair of won- derful golden shoes! The Princess smiled happily. “I knew you would find them,” she said, “as soon as you stopped hunting.” EDITH WALKER, ’17.

CHENGTU PLAIN Away as far as the eye could see stretched the wide plain. its soft green dot- ted with trees, and brightened with scarlet poppy fields. In the one direction, it seemed to blend and melt into the horizon, while in the west it rolled gradually to meet the dark wall of mountains whose rugged rocks, now tinted a gorgeous pur- ple and rose, stood like line after line of fairy castles. The sun had rested just for . a moment above the snow capped giants who skirted the outer wall, then had slip- ped down out of sight, leaving trails of crimson and gold in the sky. Already these colors were fading into the purple haze of twilight, and the distant rivers that wandered through the terraced rice fields, shimmered like silver threads woven through wonderful soft mists, and dusky shadows.

Page Forty-eight Copa de Ora YG Ue Rolling Stones % “Lay Second Prize � L4G) @ ILVER SAM and Truthful Tom were two old wind ; j ; baked prospectors, better known in their stamping grounds, which was the Mojave Desert, as “Desert Rats.” These two old prospectors of the desert had pros- pected for over thirty years and had gained but little in all of their wanderings, but both knew the desert like a preacher knows his text. No one knew their original names, nor no one cared except that their present ones fitted them very well. It was said that Sam got his name through find- ing a silver ledge near the Sierra Madre mountain 1 range, which caused a rush that ended in nothing Ate S but the settling of a small desert town which was BERT called “Dobe.” In this same town Truthful Tom, so Vth Vlilltttilttttill, alled because he lied to every stranger he met, found a shaggy airdale terrier, which Sam promptly named “Rusty.” Well at the time of this story Sam and Tom and Rusty, whom they both loved, had a dry claim about thirty miles north of Dobe, which wae paying just about enough to show them a good time when they went to town. It was situ- ated in a dry gulch of limestone formation. They hauled their water from Sage Springs, which was seven miles away, in small kegs on the backs of their patient burros, which were four in number. This particular day was an extremely hot and dry one and Sam and Tom lay around in the cool of their little dugout waiting for evening to come so they could pant at the windlass while it was cool. “Better be gittin’ some grub ready,” remarked Sam, as he lighted his corn- cob pipe. Tom got up from the dynamite case, which he had been using as a seat, and ambled to the back of the dugout, where a much dilapidated iron stove rested sadly in the corner on three legs, with its crooked pipe extended through a jagged hole in the wall. He opened a can goods box which had been hinged with cowhide and nailed there to do as a cupboard. “Whar’s the bacon ?” he asked turning to Sam. “Ain’t it that in the cupboard?” asked Sam pointing to the shelf with the stem of his pipe. “No, it ain’t and I bet that that wall-eyed dog done packed that thar bacon away and hid it for hisself, th’ ongrateful cuss. I’m goin’ t’ whip ’im good and Proper when he comes in and he pretendin’ to be a-chasin’ badgers when he’s over that behind some rock jest a-grinnin’ and a-thinkin’ what blamed fools we air. Wal, he’ll repent when I wallop’s his yaller hide.” Page Forty-nine Copa de Oro While all these threats were being launched, Sam just sat and silently smoked his pipe, but now it was his turn to speak. “T don’t believe t’'was Rusty that drug that bacon off, I hear’n Joe Keith tell how one o’ them blamed badgers done drug all o’ his grub off, while he was a-workin’ at the windlass.” “Yes ’n I reckon ole Keith had a quart o’ “nose paint” in ’im when he told that thar yarn,” said Tom as he began preparing flapjacks in substitute for the much needed bacon. Just then Rusty came trotting in with his red tongue hanging out. He licked Sai’s hand and wagged his tail at Tom, but Tom launched a vicious kick which was stopped by Sam’s shin, as he walked between the two. “Tookie here, Tom, we've been a-travellin’ as pards nigh on to thirty years and this here dog’s been with us for mor’n twelve years and ain't one o’ us ever started a row.” At these words Tom grumbled a little and turned to cooking the flapjacks. They ate a silent meal while Rusty sat back looking at Tom with his big brown pathetic dog eyes. After working silently at the windlass while Rusty ate his share of the flap- jacks, Sam and Tom emptied about a ton of ore out of the little shaft. They then went to bed. About midnight Sam was awakened by the sound of loud thumps like some- one beating rugs. Sam sneaked to the door and what he saw out in the pale moon- light, enraged his kind old heart, for there, tied to the windlass was old Rusty with Truthful Tom standing over him with a hickory whip. It wasn’t an instant before Tom looked into the steady muzzle of Sam’s sixshooter. “Untie that pore dawg, or I'll fill ye so ful 0’ lead that yell make a good anchor.” In all their thirty years as partners Tom had never heard a harsh word from Sam and these words cut him like a knife; he obediently untied Rusty and let him go whimpering to Sam. Without another word Sam entered the dugout and began packing his few belongings. It was nearly daylight when he started with two of the pack animals and Rusty following at his heels. Tom stood by the door smoking placidly, but not with a light heart for he knew well, that he would never see his old partner again. It was two hours before Sam and Rusty topped the last ridge when old Silver Sam turned to look once more upon the little claim, a tear trinkled down his wrinkled face, his hand reached to a huge limestone rock for support where he looked down to see Rusty trying to dig under the solid formation. “What ye tryin’ to do ye old fool, didn’t ye know that claws was softer’n rocks?” But Rusty evidently didn’t think so and seemed very eager. He backed in his excitement. “Well if ye want whats under that, I'll help ye,” said Sam as he began put- ting his weight to shove the rock over the ledge, he finally succeeded and the rock boomed to the bottom of the gulch. Sam jumped back in surprise, as he looked Page Fifty upon the torn body of a badger lying near a side of bacon, then he received another surprise when he noticed a wide vein of pure gold quartz. Rusty wagged his tail and chewed at the dead badger while Sam fired his six- shooter and signalled Tom to come. When Tom arrived, learning all, he could do nothing but kneel and bury his shaggy, gray head on Rusty’s wiry neck. “Wall I reckn’ we'd better be a-gittin’ to work afore it’s too hot,” said Sam as he stuffed tobacco in his pipe and started toward the dugout.

Here’s one, I venture you haven't heard But, mayhaps you know it well. “Far, far away from all known shores Lies an Island, in placid seas, Half encompassed by towering cliffs And covered with Cypress trees. “The only aproach to this lonely isle Is the marble stair of fate From thence leads the Cypress bordered aisle, To the Palace, where judgment waits. “A boat floats gently towards the step Guided by Charon’s hand While up in the bow of the ebony craft Stands a white robed figure of man. “High on the side of the dreary walls Is sculptured a narrow ledge , And open above are countless. doors or the Spirits of the dead. “Down through the death-stilled forest crypt No sun, no Boreas’ breath E’er crept or showed his windy might For this is the ‘Isle of Death’.” —Nathaniel Hazlett, 19% Page Fifty-one a � OL gpa de Oro All Hor Naught Third Prize 1 T was ten o'clock and Jane and Peggy were having a bed- 1 time talk fest—after the manner of girls. They were home from boarding school for their Easter vacation ; that is Jane was. Peggy, who was registered at school as Margaret Bryson, aged 18 years, of San Antonio, Texas, was visiting her roommate, Jane Haviland, who lived in New Rochelle, New York. They had arrived only that afternoon and had retired early, at Mrs. Haviland’s sug- gestion, in order to be rested for tomorrow's gaiety. “Tt seems so odd to be sleeping in this room,” said lane, yawning daintily. “Tt used to be my brother Ted’s room, but Mother has changed us all around since she and Dad have moved downstairs. Ted has the room that was theirs now. I’m awfully sorry he’s not coming home this vacation. I’ve been wanting him to meet you ever since I’ve known you and have been trying to have you meet but I can’t seem to get you both in the same place at the same time.” “Yes,” said Peggy in a far away voice. “Ves?” asked Jane a trifle irritated, “what do you mean?” “Yes,” said Peggy again in a farther away voice. “Peggy Bryson, what is the matter with you, are you asleep?” “Yes,” came the answer. “Oh very well, but I must say that you're an appreciative listener,” and fear- ing another acquiescence she pulled the covers up to her ears and promptly fell asleep. It must have been about four hours later or perhaps a trifle more when Peggy awoke with a start, bit her tongue cruelly, and shivered—for there tip-toeing stealthily across the room, visible in the pale shaft of moonlight, she saw a burglar. She knew he was a burglar because he carried a Gladstone bag, which she realized must be full of tools, and wore a rakish looking cap pulled down over his eyes. He set the tools down very carefully and removed his overcoat and looked around for somewhere to put it—he was a careful burglar and didn’t believe in treating per- fectly good overcoats disrespectfully. Peggy, strange to say, was remembering all the things to do in case of bur- glary. First don’t scream, but put your hand cautiously under your pillow, seize your revolver, take careful aim and call out cooly “Hands up!” But Peggy didn’t need to put her hand under the pillow to learn that there was no revolver there. Three facts repeated themselves in her mind; she mustn't scream, she mustn't wake Jane; and she must do something; and suddenly she saw what that some- thing was to be. Page Fifty-two Copa de Oro The burglar having been disappointed in his search for a reposing place for his cherished overcoat suddenly spied the wardrobe with the door invitingly open, and in the same stealthy manner tip-toed to the door. Peggy saw her chai:e—and took it. Knowing that there was a key in the wardrobe door she waiteé «ntil the burglar had entered, then sprang out of bed, closed the door and locked it. Jane awoke. The burglar pounded on the door. Peggy smiled gleefully. Struggling into her bathrobe and throwing Jane’s at that astonished, questioning, and ejaculative young lady—ignoring astonishment, questions, and ejaculations and merely commanding her to put on the article in question and quickly, she started for the hall dragging the disheveled Jane with her. Finally she found voice to say—‘Call your father, Jane, there is a burglar locked in the wardrobe.” “A burglar—in the wardrobe? Who locked him in?” “T did.” Peggy strove to be noncholant and Jane, grasping the situation at last, ran down stairs shouting for her father. Peggy leaned against the banister, a typical heroine, weak but triumphant. She pictured Mr. Haviland thanking her for saving his house from robbery; and Mrs. Haviland calling her a brave girl; and that warm feeling of success enveloped her. But Fate is not always kind, and fifteen minutes later when Mr. Haviland, reinforced by three stalwart policemen, unlocked the wardrobe door, which had three unpleasant looking automatics leveled at it, a very angry, very disheveled, and decidedly good looking young man stepped out. “Ted!” Jane burst out. “Ted! !” echoed Mrs. Haviland. “Ted!” roared her husband. And Jane giggled. “At last, ve got you both. Peggy this is my brother ‘Tedl,” And when he looked at the chargrined and blushing Peggy the scowl smoothed out of the young man’s brow. “Charmed, I’m sure!” he murmured.

It was made from palm leaves which were browned by the weather of many seasons; through the cracks in the roof the climbing roses had crept and covered the inside, like a bower, with their gay blossoms. Upon the spacious wooden seat were many mono- grams, initials, and various love passages, carved by illustrious lovers of the past. Near the door two tiny birds had once built their little home and had chaperoned the “Spoon Holder” one season, but now they had flown and the nest swayed carelessly in the wind. The brick floor was thickly padded with green moss anda little toad made his home somewhere in the grass around the bench; while the busy spiders had woven their webs for many months undisturbed over the door-way. Yet still the “Spoon Holder” stood, forsaken and lonely; but ever happy in the memory of the lovers of the past. Velma Gates 718 MEDITATION Tuirp PrizE PoEM I sat by the brink of a beautiful lake.

Page Fifty-four Copa de Oro Waste Paper Basket Reception LUFF was all ready for her callers. Fluff was holding a reception that day. Although she was a trifle rumpled from her recent encounter with Johnny Jones—still she was holding a reception “because,” she soliloquized, “some one is sure to drop in, but I do hope they won't notice these horrid ink spots on my dress.” Let it be added that these same ink spots had been occasioned by the unruliness of J. Jones’s pen. But here you must be let into the deep, dark secret that Fluff was Fluff only incognito; in reality she was Miss History Paper, but, as she plaintively remarked, ‘That is so old and prosaic sounding.” The truth was, Miss H. Paper was modern at heart. As has been said, her latticed apartment, that is the waste basket, was already for caters and Fluff had scarcely ceased her rustle of preparation when she heard some one approaching. She fluttered a little when she thought that probably this was Mr. Mathe- matics, who although almost as old as Fluff, still played pranks, especially on small boys. Mr. Mathematics called regularly every day and usually in a sad state, seem- ing to indicate that said small boys became quite quite disgusted with the peculiari- ties of Mr. Mathematics. “Greetings” he called cheerily as he came bounding in. “My,” Fluff gave a gasp of dismay, “Jonathan Jones must have been in querulous state of mind to-day.” “Oh yes,” chuckled Mr. Mathematics, “He’—with a rush and swish in flew La Senorita Spanish Paper. With a fiery little shake she cried, “Oh what stupidness” and after her first flame of wrath she laughingly and in her charming English told of the trials of “los estudiantes.” When Fluff was trying to hide her ink spots and La Senorita was surrepti- tiously smoothing her dress from unsightly creases, little Jimmy Algebra came in in the meekest possible manner. “Well” he said, looking around in mild surprise at their rumpled condition, “Are you all gossiping again?’ An indignant silence ensued, “I want to tell you that that algebra teacher is O. K. She let us off early to-day. I sure hate to go and visit in her desk and be all trimmed up with red dashes.” Jimmy then looking through the lattice cried, “Gee, here comes Prim Priscilla English.” The papers all rustled in anticipation of the unrelenting strict- ness of the habits of Miss English.

P. H. S. In fact, so much enthusiasm was aroused that when the first call for “volunteers” was made over half the fellows joined. Two experienced drill masters were sent down from Throop College and late in March drilling took place in earnest. As things continued to develop a second call for ‘‘volunteers” was made and recruiting offices were opened. The result was that nineteen out of every twenty fellows in school were drilling in the ranks when the Copa de Oro went to press, with the enthusiasm still spreading and with the expectation that before school closes it will be universal. Training takes place on Tuesday and Friday afternoons. Regular army uniforms are being bought and are being worn to school by nearly all the “Cadets.” Following is the list of officers as they stood May 11 with advancement in sight as another company is expected to be formed: Captain, drill master from Throop; first lieutenant, Tom Sanson; second lieutenant, Dana Dunton ; first ser- geant, Robert Hine; second sergeants, Robert Cravens, and Richard Gandy.

Under the auspices of the Junior Class, Occidental Glee Club gave us a very enjoy- able entertainment on Friday night, April the 27. Because of the great variety in the program it appealed to different individuals. It consisted of vocal and instrumental numbers, readings, and skits. The individual as well as the club work was of exceptional quality and showed that much labor and thought had been spent on preparing the program.

BONESTERE Page Fifty-seven Debating EBATING activities have been very successful this year. Although we did not secure favorable decisions in all the contests, we developed much talent for next year, in addition to gaining valuable experience. Under the able coaching of Miss Bonesteel, we were able to enter two leagues, as well as carry on a successful schedule of inter-class debates. We entered the State Debating League, in which it is the custom for three schools to compete in a triangular debate on the same night; also we entered the Southern California Debating League of which Ray Brahams, our debating manager, was elected president. SOUTH PASADENA-ALHAMBRA-SANTA MONICA DEBATE On the night of November 17, 1916, the first debate was held under the auspices of the State League. Our team, represented by Dana Dunton and Gladys 30ekenoogen, remained at home to uphold the affirmative of the question, “Re- solved, that a system of national labor exchanges be established in the United States,” against the negative team from Santa Monica. The arguments presented by the affirmative were forceful and telling and were delivered in a splendid man- ner. The result was a victory for S. P. H.S. by a score of 3 to 0. That same evening S. P. H. S. sent a team upholding the negative of the same question to Alhambra. Mary Black and Ray Brahams, although a strong team, were not so successful in convincing the judges as were the Alhambra speakers and lost by a score of 3 to 0. SOUTH PASADENA-INGLEWOOD DEBATE One week later the first debate in the Southern California Debating League was held at Inglewood. S. P. H. S. sent down a loyal crowd of rooters who gave hearty support to Paul Kinney and Ethyl Sherer who defended the affirmative of the question, “Resolved, that the United States should establish a system of National Labor Exchanges.’ Although the team presented a strong argument the judges awarded the decision to the negative by a score of 2 to 1. SOUTH PASADENA-MONROVIA-LANCASTER DEBATE On January 12th, 1917, the second debate in the State League was held. S. P. H. S. was represented by Virgil Kaye and Morton Gleason, who traveled to Mon- rovia to support the negative of the issue, “Resolved, that the Direct Primary should be abolished in California.” Our debaters had the question well in hand Page Fifty-eight as was shown by their arguments, and their delivery was excellent. All these factors played a large part in winning a decision of 3 to 0 in favor of S. P. H. S. On the next evening Marion Raab and Paul Hadden upheld the affirmative of the same question against the debaters from Lancaster. This debate was the first to be held in the new assembly. The constructive argument of our team was a complete surprise to the visitors as was evident by their rebuttal; it also was very forecful. Victory seemed sure and when the score of 2 to 1 was rendered in favor of the negative it came as a complete surprise. SOUTH PASADENA-JEFFERSON DEBATE On January 19, 1917, we debated Jefferson High School on the question, “Resolved, that the President should be elected by the direct vote of the people.” Our debaters, Bertha Thompson and Grace Curtis, were inexperienced but upheld the negative for S. P. H. S. in a very forceful manner. The Jefferson debaters, however, delivered their arguments with so much confidence that they received the winning score, 2 to 1. SOUTH PASADENA-SAN DIEGO DEBATE On March 23, 1917, was held the last debate of the year. This occurred at San Diego High School. Gladys Boekenoogen and Virgil Kaye defended the honor of S. P. H. S., having the affirmative of the subject, “Resolved, that the United States should abandon its previous policy of isolation in foreign affairs in favor of joining a world league of peace.” Faye Perry and George Covalt sup- ported the negative for S. D. H. S. Our debaters were exceptionally good as also were the San Diego debaters and the score was very close. Miss Gladys Boeke- noogen was awarded first place over the San Diego speakers of much greater experience. The score was 195 1-3 to 190 for the affirmative. San Diego has a Student Body of 2300 from which to select her debaters, so that this hard earned victory was an appropriate and glorious ending to our debating year. INTER-CLASS DEBATING The inter-class debates were carried on in a most successful way this year. Through the splendid coaching of Miss Bonesteel much material was found and an unusual amount of interest was aroused. The Seniors were winners in the first series of debates and the Freshmen were victorious in the second series. The debating questions were all live topics in which every one was interested. The Freshmen secured the inter-class championship on “Open Night” and were presented with the silver cup for the following year.

For the last few years this department has steadily advanced, until now it is a predominating factor of the school, contributing a great deal to the various activities. “THE BOHEMIAN GIRL” (44 HE Bohemian Girl” was the most delightful as well as the most bene- ficial musical event of the year. Those who took part were the mem- bers of the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs, directed by Mrs. E. M. Bart- lett and assisted by the orchestra. The story runs as follows: Place—Hungary. Time—Early Nineteenth Century. Thaddeus, a Polish exile, seeking concealment from Austrian troops, rescues the infant daughter of Count Arnheim of Austria, from an infuriated stag. The grateful Count asks the stranger to join in the festivities about to take place; Thaddeus finally accepts, but refuses to drink to the health of the Emperor. The Count is angered, and Thaddeus departs with a band of gypsies. Devilshoof, one of the gypsies, is imprisoned by the Count, but he escapes and abducts Arline, the Count’s daughter. Twelve years have elapsed, Arline, ignorant of her parentage is happy with the gypsies. She loves Thaddeus and is betrothed to him. But the Gypsy Queen is in love with Thaddeus and plans to separate them. A grand fair is in progress. Florenstine, the Count’s nephew, is met by the gypsies and they steal a medallion from him. The queen hangs it around Arline’s neck. Later Florestine accuses Arline of stealing it. She is brought before the Count. He recognizes a scar on her arm and after questioning her, realizes she is his long lost child. Arline, in the midst of the court splendor, cannot forget Thaddeus. They have a secret meeting, but through the scheming of the Gypsy Queen, are discov- ered by the Count. The Count will not allow his daughter to marry a gypsy, so Thaddeus reveals his true rank. The Gypsy Queen induces one of her tribe to fire at Thaddeus, but by a timely movement of Devilshoof the bullet reaches her own heart. The Count consents to the union of Arline and Thaddeus and all ends happily. Page Sixty-two The chorus work, as well as the principal parts, was carried out exceedingly well.

The proceeds were used to purchase medals for the inter-scholastic debates, as well as to buy music needed by the music department. MAY BPANTASY HE music department for the past two years has given an Oratorio dur- ing the latter part of May. This year the evening was given over to a program divided into two parts. The first part included selections by the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs, solos by Alice Veir, and the rendition of Lehman’s Persian Garden, by the mixed quartet. The second part was of an entirely different nature. It included a pretty play- let based on fairies and the traditions of Maytime. There were ten or more delightful solos from students some of whom had never before appeared before the public. MUSIC FESTIVAL held at S. P. H. S. again this year. Four schools participated this year, namely: Pasadena, Compton, Inglewood, and South Pasadena. Excel- lent programs were rendered by all and it would be hard to decide which was the best. Besides the glee club numbers there were orchestra and mixed quartet numbers. ap HE Musical Festival which originated in S. P. H. S. three years ago, was After the concert the entertainers were served with punch and wafers in the newly finished art room, and a social half hour was enjoyed by all. It is hoped that the Festival will become an annual event for it enables the students to see what other schools are doing in this particular line of work.

Through this organization much additional honor has come to the orchestra and our Alma Mater. “Page Sixty-seven UKE-APOLLO CLUB GAIN the Uke-Apollo Club was organized this year with Edward Eggleston as President. Mabel Dublin as Vice-President. Marian Knox as Secretary-Treasurer. There are about twenty instruments in the Club, including mandolins, ukuleles, cuitars, bells and banjos. The Club has given several Assembly Programs and played for the local theatre. Mrs. Bartlett has given special attention to the ukulele solo work and due to her efforts the Club deserves great praise. Page Sixty-eight CA ‘ 65. Gn i Qe Aan Sh rage ae ee me — aS TREBLE CLEFF CLUB NDER the name “Treble Cleff Club,” another group is developing musical interest in our High School. Each month a meeting is held at the home of some member. At these meetings the lives of the composers are studied and a program is given upon their works, after which a jolly social hour is enjoyed. The Club has had a very satisfactory year. The meetings have been helpful as well as entertaining and much has been accomplished in the way of musical development. The officers of the Club are: Presi: = 2 ¢ s 6 = = Wehma Gries Vice-President - - - - - Grace Kelley Secretary-Treas., Gertrude Garmshausen Page Sixty-nine BOHEMIAN GIRL CAST MIXED QUARTET HE mixed quartet is composed of Madeleine Brown, Lois Thorne, Alice Veir, Don Wheaton, and Morton Gleason. With the assistance of Mrs. Zartlett, their accompanist and instructor, these members of the Student 30dy have been able to do some very creditable work. They have had the honor of being designated the best high school quartet in this part of the country. On Christmas morning they visited the County Jail and helped to brighten the day for the inmates, by whom they were enthusiastically received. Of especial merit was the concert given at San Gabriel in which they were assisted by Miss Gladys Boekenoogen reader, and Miss Marian Meyers pianist. The program consisted of solos, duets, quartet numbers, and readings. At the close of the program refreshments were served by the ladies of the church. Page Seventy Page Seventy-one Dramatic Class T the beginning of the second semester the Dramatic Class under the direction of Miss Edith M. Bonsteel was organized. It consisted of Junior and Senior students. This is the first time such a class has been organized. Interest, enthusiasm, and willingness were shown and as a result very interesting and amusing programs were given at morning assemblies. The first was a very clever little comedy entitled “The Obstinate Family.” The parts were well taken and the program was a great success as was shown by the attitude of the audience. Those taking part in its were, Dorothy George, Ruth Thompson, Gladys George, Madeline Brown, Cecilia Cleveland and Ger- trude Garmshausen. During visiting week, also, the Class put on another clever farce “The Klepto- maniac.” All this work helps to reveal much dramatic talent and will undoubt- edly make the class plays much stronger in the future. YOU NEVER CAN TELL The Senior Class selected “You Never Can Tell,” Bernard Shaw’s most bril- liant comedy, as their class play. The cast was well chosen and under the enthus- iasm and splendid direction of Miss Bonesteel the play was made a great success. One of the best features of the play itself was that there was no marked leading role and that all the parts were strong ones, necessary to make the play a success. The play was in four acts and the setting was an English seaside resort. The scene opened in a dentist’s office where a young dentist was interviewing his first patient, a young lady. The dentist, Valentine, did not give the impression of being much of a workman and his professional manner was hidden by a thought- less pleasantry which betrayed the young gentleman still unsettled and in search of amusing adventure. First of the characters to attract our notice was a young lady, a pretty woman in miniature, dressed with the daintiest gaiety, and we were at once brought under the influence of her sunny and straight-forward disposition. She was Dolly Clandon, who, with her brother Phil, a handsome man in miniature, made the most irresistible of twins, who with their chatter and spontaneous mirth added con- tinuous spice to the play; there could be no monotony in the neighborhood of the twins. Suavity and self-possession were points of honor with Phil, and this, with his self-consciousness, produced an effect staggering to his elders. Mrs. Clandon and Gloria, her daughter, were announced by the maid, the bit of character comedy, enacted with a great spirit of mirth to the high enjoyment of the audience. Gloria typified the new woman, who, in spite of her highminded- enss and haughty coolness, was absolutely charming and adorably attractive, as Valentine discovered. Her mother, who belonged to the fore-front of her own period, possessed a jealous assertive attitude of character and intellect. She was somewhat old-fashioned. for her age, in dress and manners, and felt strongly about social questions, not about persons. Valentine and his landlord, Mr. Crampton, who turned out to be Mrs. Clan- don’s husband, were invited to lunch at the Marine Hotel. Mr. Crampton was a Page Seventy-two man ill tempered, highly nervous, and sensitive. His eyes were wistful and there was a plaintive note in his voice. We all could not help feeling a sympathy for him, in spite of his tactless, gruff, and harsh manner. The second act opened on the terrace of the Marine Hotel. William, the waiter, was speaking to a gentleman, Finch M’Comas, the family solicitor of the Clan- dons, who would pass anywhere at sight as a man of more than average profes- sional capacity and responsibility. We were greatly pleased with with, and greatly interested in the waiter, the ever soothing William, whose tactful, gentle, and kindly remarks, and interruptions in all crises saved the day, and who gave the clew to the title “You Never Can Tell.” Here the identity of Mr. Crampton was discovered. Here and in the following act we were greatly concerned over Gloria’s struggle to overcome her obstinate pride in her love for Valentine. Last, our attention was attracted to Mr. Bohun, the incorruptible character, the weighty counsel from London, the gentleman of ferocious and masterful appearance and manner who dominated the last scene, and who was so cleverly introduced by Shaw, as the son of William, the waiter. Gloria finally overcame her pride and announced that she and Valentine were engaged. The clever way in which the play ended left us nothing to be desired.

Monday the Glee Club gave a musical enter- tainment ; ‘uesday a program was rendered by Mrs. Marsland’s French and Spanish Classes. It consisted of a number of Folk songs and a skit given by each of the classes. The French skit was a dialogue between Eugenie Axtman and Elizabeth Coutts. The Spanish skit was a comedy given by Ruth Fowler, James McEniry and Fred Thompson. Although many in the audience didn’t understand the words they could comprehend enough by the action to make the program entertaining. Wednesday a most amusing comedy was presented by the Art and Dramatic Classes. It was a one act play entitled ‘“The Kelpto- maniac.” Rae Telfer, Emily-Ruth Parsons, Cecelia Cleveland and Rachel Still- well took the most important roles. An entertaining plot was woven around the losing of a pocket book by one of the young ladies. On Thursday the English Classes had their turn. They presented a skit in which Eugenie Axtman ruled supreme over a room full of students, who read poetry and prose written by pupils of the English Classes. At the Friday Assembly Rae Telfer and Harland Beardslee were wed in true Roman fashion. The program was not only entertaining but also was instructive as the costumes of the Romans were carefully observed. DID YOU KNOW— That this is the ninth edition of the Copa de Oro? That Copa de Oro means “cup of gold” which signifys the poppy? That the name was chosen because it was distinctive and suggested this local- ity of Southern California?

An interesting and enjoyable musical program was rendered by the girls, aided by Don Wheaton and Morton Gleason of the mixed quartet. Portions of the opera, “The Bohemian Girl,” were sung. Then the evening was given over to different diversions. Charades, repre- senting the names of the great musical composers, were given by the girls. A prize of a box of chocolates was offered. As all seemed to have the correct answers the prize was placed on a paper on the floor and all scrambled for it. It would have done one’s heart good to see those dignified teachers and school board members scramble for the candy. Delightful refreshments were served after which the guests departed, well pleased with the evening’s entertainment. LILLIAN HANSEN. JUNIOR-SENIOR AFFAIR Owing to the unprecedented condition confronting the American people this year, the Junior-Senior Banquet was abandoned by a vote of both classes. In order that the Juniors might express their friendship to the Seniors, a very simple but attractive party was held on June 2nd, at which all reported a very good time. BETTY JAMES. RECEPTION FOR NEW GIRLS The customary reception given by the old High School girls for the new girls was held early in the year. The girls seemed to have a splendid time and games, which were very lively, offered an opportunity for all to become acquainted. The party was well attended and after delightful refreshments the party disbanded with the feeling that S. P. H. S. was a good place for girls. MADELINE BROWN. THE FOOTBALL RALLY The Football Rally came off with a bang even though the rainy weather made it necessary to postpone the event until the eve of the second game. The huge bon-fire (built after many wood gathering expeditions) roared and blazed and under the heat, pop !—off came the corks of all our bottled enthusiasm; even the Seniors lost some of their dignity in songs, yells, and speeches that followed. But wait—that’s not all—when the fire had died down and our throats began to feel like nut-meg graters—‘“Eats!” yelled a welcome voice and everyone rushed for the “eats.” Weinies in buns, big dill pickles, and ice cream. Well, all ate until they felt stupid and then took themselves home, blessing the good luck that sent them to S. P. H.S. Thus ended the hilarious “Pow-Wow” for 1916. VELMA GATES. Page Seventy-six ARRIVAL OF THE SENIOR PINS After much waiting, the long delayed Senior pins arrived. The majority of the Senior Class assembled in the spacious gymnasium to receive their pins and incidentally to have a sort of “jolly-up” in honor of the event eee While the pins were being assorted the class amused themselves with a num- ber of interesting games. The girls of the class served delightful refreshments towards the close of the afternoon and then the pins were distributed to all those present. MARGUERITE PERRY. FOOTBALL BANQUET The football banquet, given January 6, 1917, to the football teams, by the Junior and Senior girls, was a great success. The “eats” were a credit to the Domestic Science Department, and the decorations were a credit to the girls who did the work, and the supervising teachers. The school colors, orange and black, were carried out in the decorations, and in the different courses, as far as was possible. After the banquet some very interesting toasts were given by a few of the Faculty and members of the teams, Mr. Bush acting as toastmaster. The custom of giving the football boys a banquet is one of our pleasantest school traditions, and we hope to see it continued. WIshe, SCIEIQOIL, IRAN Aside from a few over eager Freshmen the guests arrived about seven thirty. The hall was filled with dazzling colors, a variety of costumes, and plenty of noise. After the unmasking, the guests were summoned into the lower regions which presented a replica of Hades. A large number trooped down, but only a few ven- tured-on the slide. Then came a regular vaudeville, which included songs, danc- ing, and a very funny playlet. No sooner had the curtain fallen than refreshments were announced in the science rooms. The response was immediate and enthusiastic. The pie, ice cream, and sandwiches proved so delicious, it was rumored later, that some of the boys had managed to eat in two out of the three sections. However, ten thirty saw a very successful Hallowe’en Party at an end. THOMAS A. SANSON, JR. THE SENIOR PICNIC One of the most exciting events of the year was the Senior Picnic. Five auto loads of Seniors left South Pasadena for Santa Monica at five o’clock. There the boys built a blazing fire to stop the shivers and warm the freezing fingers because the beach was so cold and windy. After eating deliciously blackened weinies and lovely sanded marshmallows, everyone piled into the machines again and rode to Venice. The Roller Coaster was great sport and the Magic Mirrors and “eats” attracted many. The greatest excitement was when the President of the Class risked her life in a mad whirl in the “Tub.” She returned safely, but somewhat shaken up and declared “It was sure some ride.” Finally the chaperones said that the time was up. After a long ride home each weary Senior declared this to have been a most joyous escapade. FAITH SMEAD. Page Seventy-seven LTE cae 1) oN SV ii | Epomeee — ( SSS SSS SS SSS SSS) WS For sometime it has been felt that the girls of the school as a whole, have taken a rather inactive part in the Student Body life. It was not that they were not interested, but that they lacked organization with which to work with the boys. However, this is a condition of the past. In the latter part of April the girls, with the assistance of the women teachers, organided a ‘Girls’ League” similar to many in the schools of Southern California. The purpose of this league is to systema- tize the girls into a working force for South Pasadena High and in so doing develop a greater spirit of democracy and good fellowship. The executive body consists of a President, Vice-President, a Secretary and Treasurer, and a Cabinet composed of three capable girls from each class. The League will co-operate with the boys and the Faculty and anticipates great success for the coming year.

It was organized through the efforts of Mr. Cooper. our local Y. M. C. A. Secretary. Mr. Cooper first mentioned this plan to the boys at a special assembly after school and many promised to meet nim at the Baraca Club room of the Presbyterian Church on the following Thurs- day, a committee having been appointed to prepare and serve the “eats.” The “eats” were to cost every boy fifteen cents. The outcome of that Thursday evening ban- quet was so satisfactory that the boys decided to organize. They planned to have Mrs. Freeman, manager of the High School Cafeteria, get the meal for fifteen cents apiece. This the boys approved as it saved them much work in preparing the dinner. After the feed at Mrs. Freeman’s they journeyed across the street to the Study Hall to hold the election of officers. “As a result of the election the officers were as follows: H. Beardslee, President; R. Hine, Vice-President; P. Eldredge, Secretary-Treasurer, but Paul Eldredge having resigned, P. Kinney was elected to the office several days later. Now this Club is thoroughly organized and meets at Mrs. Freeman’s at 6 P. M. for “eats;” then at 6:30 some very good speakers give us a short talk of from one-half hour to an hour. The time from six until seven o’clock is taken because it is a time taken by most of us to eat and we surely all have to eat so we eat together, then listen to a good speech by some worthy man and after that return home to study. Thus no time is taken from school, play, studies nor are we robbed of any sleep. One Thursday we were unable Page Seventy-nine to get a speaker so the meeting was thrown open to a general discussion and dif- ferent fellows told what they were planning to become and why. Some of the speakers thus far have been: Dean Damon of Throop; Coach Stanton of Occidental; Carl Knapp of U. S. C.; Dr. Dozier of Normal; Jim Smart of L. A. A. C.; S. C. Brewster, soldier under General Funston in Philip- pine Islands, also High School mate and College roommate. There are many organizations of this sort all over the country but this is one of the first to be organized in Southern California and according to the per cent of the boys that come out it is the most successful. Sopahi has been a great success this year and we sincerely hope that it will not lose its “pep” in years to come. IX SIUMLATRAY 1DyANNY T was one of those hot, sultry days, which often come with early June. The golden sun burned against the drawn blinds, filling the room with its intense power. The little red desks reflected the glare into the eyes of the drowsy, comfortable children. The clock’s insistent ticking and the occasional turn of a page seemed not to intrude, but to accompany the dreamy atmosphere. The red pots of bright geraniums and ferns glowed from the window sills. One lazy fly seemed greatly attracted by the brilliant blossom above him, but contented himself with buzzing his appreciation. His song so affected one studious little boy, that he forgot his book and fell fast asleep. Over this little haven, a restful spirit seemed to watch. DOROMUAGHORG Es as: Among those who have spoken at Assembly this year are the following: James W. Foley, Dr. Willis Baer, Professor Inui, Rev. Francis, Dr. Fox, Rev. Stanton Hodgins, Thomas Brooks Fletcher, W. A. Enenkel. Musical programs have been given by the following: Ruth Markel, Mrs. Halbert Thomas and Mr. Vernon Spencer, Esta Kite, Mrs. John E. Dublin, James Auriemma, Marjorie Gillies. Page Eighty B Baal OURNALISM has now existed in South Pasadena High for three years as an important school activity. This year the weekly “S. P. H. S. Tiger” consisted of eight pages. One page each was devoted to the El Centro, Marengo and Lincoln Park Grammar Schools and a fourth page was utilized by the Woman’s Improvement Association. The other four pages were devoted solely to High School journalism which kept all subscribers well informed as to the various departments of High School work. This system resulted in a larger circulation and therefore offered greater inducements to adver- Page Eighty-one tizers. In this way, our school has supported journalism during this year of paper famine. Unlike many other activities, newspaper reporting can accommodate an almost unlimited number of students. During the school year 1916-1917 the “write-ups” for the “Tiger” have been assigned to a staff of fifty reporters. Any student, who has journalistic ambitions, especially if he is gifted in English composition, may become a member of the staff providing he is prompt in handing in the assigned “write-ups,” and that his work is acceptable to the faculty advisor. Mrs. Oneal has kindly acted as faculty “overseer” of the “Tiger” and her assistance has raised the standard of the paper. S, P. H. S. has shown its “pep” by publishing special editions of the weekly paper at appropriate times. The second semester was heralded by a twenty-five page “Mid-Winter” edition and during the spring Senior, Junior, Sophomore and Freshman editions have made their appearance. In reviewing the results of the year, every student ought to be proud of the journalistic record of the S, 1, lal, S, Ihieer, Mella, SINE FIRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER Wiki = = 5 o a = Ikiynn Spence “ly Editon n= ohn sD winse 1s Faculty Advisor - - - Mrs. C.

P. HIGH’S Radio Club was started at the beginning of the fall term of Nineteen sixteen. After the club was organized and the officers elected, the School Board voted about one hundred dollars with which to get an outfit for the school. Mr. Clark ordered the outfit, and it was duly installed by Merrill Phillips and Willis Bush, the chief and assistant operators. The other club officers were Godfrey Speir, President; Ralph Groner, Vice-President; Paul Hadden, Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Clark gave the Club several talks about the principles of wireless telegraphy, and Mr. Phillips gave a few demonstrations, at the Tuesday morning meetings, on the school apparatus, explaining the operation and purpose of the different instruments. The receiving apparatus of the station is very sensitive, and messages have frequently been heard from San Francisco and more distant points. A number of boys were greatly interested in wireless, and the year promised to be an interesting one, as many of the boys talked with each other every night, but when war was declared against Germany, the government gave orders that every amateur station in the country should be closed down, so that the amateurs had to stop all communication. As we expect peace to come soon though, we expect to renew the interest in wireless next fall, and we will try to have a more suc- cessful year than this has been. Page Eighty-three “Ay, “h WOO AT OR over two years, “movies” have played their part in South Pasadena High, to the enjoyment of all concerned. From an educational stand- point they have proved especially instructive. On various occasions the wonders of our country have been brought before our eyes in the realistic way of the “movies.” One especially instructive film, showing Greater New York, opened our eyes to the conditions there, which many will not be able to view for themselves. The film on Electrification was of especial interest to the boys. Olong with the instructive films, several comedies, such as “Jack and the Bean Stalk,” have received their just amount of laughs. It has been the aim of the school to use the machine in every way possible to the advantage of the citizens of South Pasadena. Toward that end we have secured such films as “Prince and Pauper,” “The Foundling,” and “Snow White.” These have been shown on Tuesday afternoons, a small admission being charged in order to meet the rent of the films. 3’ During the past year the Student Body has received as a gift from the Boy h and Girls’ Glee Clubs several slides on which are a number of the “songs whic never grow old.” These have put new life into the school and the “movie” machine has made it possible to use them. Not a small degree of the success of the “movies” is due to the chief operator, Willis Bush, and his efficient assistants, Everett Andrews, Clive Becker and Merrill Phillips. These boys have been always ready and willing to do anything which might advance the “movies” and put them on a higher plane in our school. Page Eighty-four SS = = ———= i) EAL, WY ES — SWS WS = SS SS if Ue = ZEISS i ti Liz SA FES ————— ZA Z NE of the most important enterprises of S. P. H. S. is the Book Exchange. It is managed by Allan Lawyer, assisted by Everett Andrews. During the last year it has been possible to obtain a greater majority of our school books from the Exchange than ever before. Besides being a convenience to the students, the Exchange is also contributing a small sum to the school funds. Another added convenienve is the central location of the Book Exchange in its new room north of the office. This is far more accessible than the old Exchange room and is also not a disturbance to those who study in the library—as was the store last year. The Book Exchange has the management of the Lost and Found Depart- ment. All stray books are held there until called for by the owner. If they are unclaimed the books are sold finally. This, in intself, is a source of income to the treasury. The Book Exchange is open every morning before school and every noon until one o’clock. Thus the students are able to obtain all book supplies at a most convenient time. The S. P. H. S. students patronize the Book Exchange freely this year. At all open hours the room is filled with buyers. But it is due largely to the time and work that Mr. Lawyer has so conscientiously devoted to the store that it has made such a success, Page Eighty-five Che Art Classes HE success of the past Copa de Oros has largely been due to the excellent work of the Art Classes. This year, as you can see for yourself, these classes have kept up to the standard and perhaps have, we do not hesi- tate to say, gone a little above the standard. Mrs. Bartlett, the instructor, has given to us an unlimited supply of ideas and the Colonial idea, to our minds, has been carried out quite well under her supervision. South Pasadena High School offers the best Art Course in Southern California and Mrs. Bartlett is the “reason.” The Art Editor for this Copa de Oro, Edith Walker, also deserves great credit for her work, not only on this special publication, but for anything she has ever done in the Art line. The Copa de Oro also acknowledges and appreciates the work of “artists”: Gladys Newerf ’17, Marguerite Perry 17, Emory Moore ‘17, Ethel Wall 717, Ellen Chase °17, Lottie Lansing ’17, Helen Taylor ’17, John Ewing °18, Ray Fet- terman 718, Eugenia Williams °19, Elliott Hine 19, Warren Hoak ’19, Florence Kirk 19, Howard Smith ’20, and others.

The team started the season by playing one of the fastest and hardest fought games seen in Southern California this year. The last game found the boys still there fighting with that “never-say-die” that is so characteristic of the athletic teams from S. P. High. The team this year was for the most part composed of fellows who had never before played together. But it was only a few weeks before the team was working so well that it would have given any team in Southern California a royal battle. Several of the best football authorities in this part of the state have said that our team was one of the fastest and cleanest teams that they had seen in acion this year. A lot of credit for the success of the team should be given to “Bob” Cravens, our captain, who proved himself to be a good leader and good field general. A great deal of credit must also be given to Coach Leonard for his untiring efforts to turn out a winning team. The fellows all appreciate his work and were always willing to fight their hardest to win for him. He taught the team to play the game in a clean, manly way which means more than a winning team. Next year’s captain is a man from the top of his head to where his spikes dig the ground. He is a fighter from the first whistle to the last. He played a star game this year and should be even better next year. His spirit should be spread over the whole team-next year. He is Willard Smalley, our fighting center. Good luck to you “Bill”, we hope you have a winning team. The team finished second in the league, losing only to Citrus Union, a much heavier team. The game with Alhambra was a tie, 0 to 0, SECOND TEAM HE second team looks back upon one of its most successful years as a developer of new material. Hopkins as full back was a rare find who played a hard, consistent, heady game at all times. Lawyer and Merry- man, as halves, could always be depended upon to run interference and make gains. Norton, as quarter, showed great generalship and with more exper- ience should become a star. Bradford, Perry, and Crossley were ends who could always be depended upon to smash interference or snag passes. Raab and Clark were husky tackles who delighted in smearing plays of the opponents before they were under headway. Gemmrig, McLeod, and McKinney were guards who held like a stone wall. Smith at center was a reliable pivot for the team to work around. Page Ninety-one In addition to the practice given the first team, games were played with Pasadena, St. Vincents, L. A. M. A., Alhambra and John Muir. In every one of these games the team showed up well as clean, heady, hard fighters that promise well for the success of S. P. H. 5. next year. Mr. Oneal, as coach, was responsible for the pep and enthusiasm that was constantly behind the team, in regard to management and interest in games. THIRD TEAM For the first time in the history of the school, South Pasadena had a third football team. This was possible through the efforts of Tom San- son, °17, who acted as coach, and who put the necessary speed and form into the younger fellows just breaking into the great American game. Elliott Hine “19; was the captain and has a bright future ahead of him in the athletic line. The third team played many games with Los Angeles and Pasadena Inter- mediates and seldom came home with the short end of the bacon.

There were about twenty fellows out for the team when the season started. The team started the season in fine style, taking a practice game from the Oxy Freshmen and the next day putting the damper on Harvard. Because of lack of experience and injuries the boys did not make as good a showing later in the year, but when we consider the fact that there were only two veterans from last year’s team on the squad, the boys did well. Page Ninety-three We had a star in Gleason, our Captain, who played center. He was all over the court at once and followed the ball all of the time. For next year we have a captain that should turn out a wonderful team if personal influence has anything to do with it. He showed himself to be one of the fastest guards in the league this year and should be better next year. He is a clean player and inspires pep into his team mates. Our captain elect is Harland (‘‘Hook’’) Beardslee, our star guard and point winner on this year’s team.

But despite these set backs Coach Clark did not become discouraged and the splendid showing made by the team this year was due to his “never say die” spirit that he inspired into his team. The stars of the team were “Skeet” Hine, our young Sophomore miler, who made a name for himself by winning first in nearly every race he entered. Tle Page Ninety-five used his head remarkably well for a youngster. Raab, our captain, also was one of our stars. He was a consistent point winner and always led his team well. He was always a good sport and deserves lots of credit. McLeod, Gleason and Smalley also deserve mention, as they could usually be counted on to deliver in the pinch. To Captain-elect Hine we can only wish all the success in the world for next year and we will all be watching him, hoping that he will bring home a record. Our team entered the County meet again this year and made a very good showing, taking third place. Hine won the mile and Raab the 880 yard run. The final score showed Citrus ahead with 56% points, Harvard came second with 4134, S. P. H. S. third with 19, Monrovia fourth with 18, and Glendale fifth, with 1434..

While starting out slowly, and with the loss of several of the team, things looked a little blue, but picked up later and every game was won with the exception of the one with Monrovia, the first game of the season. The team walloped Harvard Military Academy, Glendale, Citrus, Covina, while Alhambra forfeited. This line of wins tied S. P. H. S. with Monrovia and when the play off was made on Pasadena grounds, May the fourth, South Pasadena easily won by a 5 to 2 score. Thus, for the fourth consecutive year, South Pasadena High School has won the Central Section Championship. Page Ninety-seven 3efore the league opened, Coach Leonard directed the team against L. A. High, Hollywood, Whittier State, and others, some of these games proving more exciting than league games. The team as a whole hit remarkably well and the Student Body encouraged them along better than any previous years. Earle Verry, who has held down the shortstop position for three years, was unanimously elected to next year’s captaincy. Following are the personalities of Coach Leonard’s winning team: Arthur Snow, pitcher—‘Art” pitched the most consistent game of any pitcher in the league; a pitcher who often hit the ball. Don Wheaton, catcher—A find this year and a good one. That peg to second was out of the ordinary. Cornelius Supple, first base—‘‘Kenus” saved many a run by his jump and reach way up in the air, making the third out a sure one; and to hit the ball was the least of his troubles. Paul Kinney, second, center field—‘The three base hitter.” “Pete” won the championship for us. As for his playing he is right there on grounders, and a fly never got past him all season. Wilbur Brott, third base—Brott played a steady game all season, and his holding down third base from the start did not surprise very many. Earle Verry, short stop—The big man of the league, as a fielder or hitter. Nothing too much may be said in praising Captain Elect Verry. Addision Norton, left field—‘‘Ad” played an excellent game and was a steady hitter. Few flys got past him in that sunny field garden. Percy Bullock, field—Another ‘find.” And his hitting saved many a game this year. Percy will probably help “Art” with the pitching next year. Robin Walker, second base—Little but mighty. The only left handed batter on the team. Sacrifice hits were his main salvation. Allan Lawyer, field—New, but coming up in line. Kinney, Supple, and Wheaton are the Seniors who will be graduated, but their places will be filled nicely by Hopkins, Crossley, Smalley, and other comers. Page Ninety-eight TENNI! E.MpaRe 1% ENNIS this year, while it did not not result in any championships, aroused great enthusiasm in the school. Many names were entered in the tournaments for places on the team. The result was that the teams were strong and well balanced. Tennis is the only sport in which girls are allowed to participate; conse- quently there was an unusual amount of spirit shown this year among the girls. The girls did unusually well, placing S. P. H. S. on the tennis map by taking sec- ond place in their league, Covina being the only school to beat us and they only succeeded in beating us by one point. Of the five girls who made their “S’s” this year, three will be back next year, so we are looking for another big year. Page Ninety-nine The girls who will graduate are Gladys Newerf, who played first on the team, and Lillian Hansen, who played fourth; Velma Gates, Grace Kelley, and Emily Cass will be back next year. The boys had a fine time this year also. They succeeded in taking second place in the league, losing first place by a score of 9-8. After the conclusion of the league series, the boys entered a stronger league composed of larger schools. They won second place in this league also, losing only one tournament. The Student Body sent Cornelius Supple and Paul Kinney to Ojai to partic- ipate in the annual Ojai Valley Tennis Tournament, April 19-21. The boys did very well, considering the competition in such a tournament.

It is a purely athletic association, as its members are composed of only those who have won a letter “S” by participating in some form of athletics. This results in uniting the different branches. Consequently there is more co-operation. The club also decides upon the design of the school letters, and sweaters. Through it, they are awarded to those earning them. Great plans have been laid by the members but unfortunately cannot all be materialized this year on account of lack of time. However the Club expects to prosper and will undoubtedly grow in importance with the school.
