I El I 1 V 1:1 1 171 :il THE FIRST FIG There was a young man from Ventura, Of his pants he thought he was sura, But his gorgeous array Of colors one day, Floated high in the breezes, Hurrah ! —GRACE MOSSMAN. THE SECOND FIG There was a most gay Buckaneero, And nary a thing did he fear-o Till he attracted the bees Instead of the fleas, And the bees aroused his fear-o ! —CLAIRE GEORGE. Mr. Laidlaw: What makes you think that Atlas was a bad man? , , . . . ,, , , Ruth Jordan: Well, the book says ' that he held up the whole world ' . To have, to hold, and to copy Correct answers in a quiz. Sound quite complicated But most kids are a whizz. The cook, the crew and the captain bold Set merrily out to sea. The cook, the crew and the captain bold Were you and the rest was me. I ate the cook and the Captain bold But long fought I the crew But they followed the fate of the Captain bold And I returned to school. Seniors come and Seniors go, But still I sit and pine. Because Shakespeare ' s long since dead, And I was left behind.

I El i. i m: 1 1 T i 31 FAREWELL APPRECIATION As the last pages of the 1931 La Revista go to press, and the tenseness and hurry of the work have decreased, I wish to write a few last words of appreciation. To everyone who has assisted in the smallest degree, I am indeed grateful. First of all, to those who have so generously allowed me time that rightfully belonged to them, I wish to say that I appreciate their kind and sympathetic help. To Miss Ethel McCandless, our advisor, and to the members of my staff, I extend my thanks for their cooperation, help, and advice. Although every effort was made to avoid it, it was at times necessary to neglect studies and duties to work on the yearbook. I hope that the results will justify this neglect and, in a small measure, compensate those who have sacrificed. It is only fitting that no tice be given to the commercial factors that have made this yearbook a possibility. Accordingly, I wish to express my appreciation to Mr. A. Edwin Fisher and his staff of the Ventura County News, for the work done in the printing; to Mr. Tom Hill of the Metropolitan Engravers, for his valuable advice, interest, and assistance; to the Bradford Studios, for making the night views of the campus possible; to Air. Sam Babcock of the Weber McCrea Company, for aid in the selection of the covers; to Niles Studio, for the handling of the individual and group photography. It is hoped and expected that our experiences and mistakes will help to make the work of those who follow us in future years more nearly perfect and successful. And now, I bid the 1931 La Revista farewell. If it has given you a little pleasure, and if it has preserved some happy memories of this school for you. I will consider my work well worth while. THE EDITOR. 174
