Patiently plodding onward is a lone camel, bearing a weary waytarer, who scans the desert horizon unceasingly, Whither has he come? Whither is he bound? What seekest he in this tunereal desolation? In the cool ot the evening, El l-lamid Cohen thrusts back the tlap ot his sump- tuous tent and goes torth tor his evening. But what is that on the skyline? A lone rider is drawing near. The Emir's black mustachios bristle with vigor as he recognizes the angular torm ot his old triend Prot, Prentiss, the eminent butterfly collector. I-li, El l-lamid, ol' chap, sings out Prot. Prentiss in a booming baritone, youre surely a welcome to my tatigued old optics. l-low's the desert and all that sort ot rum? El I-lamid rumbles a greeting as this lanky visitor dismounts. The elegant dinner comes to a close. The Emir and his guest light up the well known Cohen cigars. The Emir takes a crystal globe in his hands. l.et's seel Twenty long yearsg I wonder what the rest are doing. l-lo, here is Dot Dixon getting her third trom Reno, and talking ot sentences, Rodney Stronks is doing ten years at San Quentin tor picking the ice cream lock at Unihi. Deacon Dougherty is with him endeavoring to show him the evil ot his ways. By the by, interrupts the Protessor, did you see Mr, and Mrs. Miller as they went in to do missionary work among the Fuzzy-Wuzzies, and Ed Dunning has cancelled a current singing contract because ot a date to attend a Ritt Reunion, chuckles the Emir. All-lave you tried Phyrne's new brand ot tobacco? She has a pipe shop now. Cazing into the glass he exclaimsi I-lal here is Dorothy Wilson just leaving her School ot Dance in the Pacitic Palisades. And Mary Crott is managing the practical education department at Occidental. Well, let's try l-lollywood Boulevard. l-l'm, here's loe Waltz, strong man in lingling Bros. Circus, strolling by. Elizabeth Bell, l-larriet Wood, and Sylvia Kemble, joint owners and successors ot Newberry, Woolworth, and Kress are squabbling over their new Sawtelle Shop, Jimmie Cald- well is the connoisseur and peer ot clothes designers. I-lis I-lollywood Shop provides Paris with its latest in women's wear. Marion Chapman is his social secretary. And here is Ye Olde Booke Shoppe with Patricia and Angie waiting on their cus- tomers.

XE,-8.5 Martian History 5,31 Looking back over the six years which have elapsed since their entrance into the institution which is now known as University l-ligh School, the Martians are' able to view with gratification their scholastic, athletic, and social achievements during their journey towards the last year of their high school career. Those who have attained the highest offices which the school government has provided are Glen Evans, who served two successive semesters as Commissioner of Finance, and who then became President of the Student Body, Wesley Scott, Com- missioner of Boys' Welfare and Commissioner of Athletics, leanette Crossman, Com- missioner of Speech Arts during the latter half of the semester of SBD, and for the semester of W'3Og Pal Baxter and jeanette Truesdel, Commissioners of Girls, Welfare, jack Zehnder, Commissioner of Boys' Welfare, Eulmer Priday and Tom Suzuki, Commissioners of Publications. ln regard to athletics, the Martians point with pride to several classmates who have struggled hard on the football field, to wit: Wesley Scott and Eulmer Priday, not mentioning those Martian members of the lightweight team. Track, Wendell Davis, holder of the 660 M. C. L. record, Roy Baker, 220 M. C. L. record holder, and Tom Suzuki. Although the girls are not allowed to 'participate in League athletics as are the boys, the Girls' Athletic Association affords them an opportunity to show their skill in friendly contests with groups of girls from other schools. Because the G. A, A. embraces almost all the girls in the Senior division, the presidency of the organiza- tion is considered a major office. For the past three semesters the following Mar- Eans have held this responsible position: Velma Devlin, Dorcas Stranahan, and Laura urtis. The Martians have more California Scholarship Federation members in propor- tion to the size of the class than any former graduating class of the State. The students who have thus honored their State, school, and class are Pal Baxter, Velma Devlin, Glen Evans, Eileen Eaulconer, Ruth Garvey, Esther l-lertzog, lane Kossack, Patricia Roberts, Alice Sasabe, and Tom Suzuki. The class officers who piloted the Martians through the semester of W'3O were Eulmer Priday, President, Velma Devlin, Vice-President, Katherine Glanville, Secretary, and jack Zehnder, Treasurer. A change was made in the S'3l semester, the class electing two secretaries, because of the great amount of secretarial work which had to be accomplished. The following people were elected: Wesley Scott, President, l-lelen Beckwith, Vice-President, Dorothy Yousling and Ruth Garvey, Sec- retaries, and Esther l-lertzog, Treasurer. On March l8, l93l, the Martians presented their first Senior Series, the Swiss Yodlers, which proved to be a great success, The second Senior Series was the play The Rivals, an English comedy written by R. B. Sheridan, the cast being made up entirely of Martians. Almost every Martian has held some responsible and important office some- time during his sojourn at Unihi, and because there are so many who have rendered valuable service to their Alma Mater the list is too long to mention here, but every- one in the class will be graduated with the knowledge that he has given something of himself to the institution which has sheltered him or her for so long a time.
