To us the tedious work and careful thought will be as nothing if the La Revista for 1927 is thought worthy of the class of '27. THE EDITOR. .W fa wi iw r' qllllllllll I llIllIIllllIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllm lllllllIllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 3 4 hitnrial God made our years into days and hours That hour by hour, And day by day, E'en tho' it be just a little way, We can all along Keep quite strong. We have here a philosophy of life that should mean n1ucl1 to modern youth, which seems to give consideration and care to only the most out- standing events of life a11d 11ot too much to them. To the Seniors who are ready for their next day and hour in life it is an ideal which should steady them and Illtlkll them realize that though the going may be slow in this new life, by keeping strong they will succeed. As for the Juniors, who are looking forward with great anticipa- tion. to their Senior year, it is a timely warning to be strong all the way and 11ot lose sigt of studies in their quest for fame in activities. The Sophomores who have successfully passed two years and feel themselves graduates from care and worry must realize at this time that only by constant work will the doors of a. college be open to them in the fall of 'ZZ9. ' For the Freslnnen who seem to e11ter younger each year no better advice could be left by a Senior than To keep strong all along. Recognition lt is said that No person is complete unto himself, likewise 110 staff, no matter how efficient may be its members, is complete within itself, and we of the liar Revista staff feel that our appreciation of the help given us by our schoolmates can never be truly expressed. Vtie, with pleasure, here illtlllli those who have graciously given their time and advice. 1 Q .. - 2 - -E -E -s - - Q - -- fl ln 1- i Q Q If i i A EEE .1 - , - f ,,- Ill 45 : : 3 2 1 1 - - .. - i VA'tvN.Ulf.U.VQVI.Vt'.'.'t'.'4'.'4'U.'l4'4'.'4'4'lt'.'.'.'.'t't't'I.. llIllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllw' 1 9 2 7 'ffm'IlllllllllllIlIIllIIIIllIIlllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllll Ten 5 llijgw lllllllll MISS ADDIE BELLE LONG MR.

Visions of a castle-like building in which to house our Alma Mater had long: been the ideal of every loyal student. Now, due 11ot to a fairy god-mother, or the benevolence of a heaven- ly body, but to the loyal efforts of our board and the support of the voting citizens, we have a beautiful school with light, airy classrooms, every modern convenience and a spaciohs auditorium. - In the years to come as well as now, respect and gratitude will be felt for our board members. nummmnnnummnnummllullllllullllllllm-O'm 1 9 2 7 'UUE'IIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIllllIllIllIIllllllllllllllllllllllll Fourteen ,,,.....1i..l..n... Z ' I 'N ,lol WW Classes 'XJ lnlunnlywgp gnggmguuulnul EULOGY HEN THE CLASS OF '27 first entered Ventura High School four years ago it numbered about eighty-five and was a rather unknowing but hopeful band of children. lVe elected Carl Bates for our president during the first year and succeeded in being Freshmen quite creditable. The following year our class Was practically the same in size but its memberskwere much wiser. Janice Pidduck was chosen as leader to steer us through our age of Sophomorism. It was about this time that our classmates were beginning to bravely mingle with the omnipotent upperclassmen and to take an efficient part i11 school activities. . In August, nineteen twenty-five, we again returned to the old school and realized that we ourselves had new reached that exalted up- perclassman state. Early we selected a leader, Fred Baker, and again plunged into the year's work. There were not only lessons. for all to learng-but athletic teams, glee clubs, literary staffs and other things in which to participate, and into all of these the Juniors found their way. Too, there was the Annual Junior reception to be given by our class in honor of the Seniors, and this important occasion was undertaken and carried out with great effectiveness. Upon reaching the Senior age, we found our numbers had shrunk to sixty-three. We again chose Fred Baker our president and started out to be Seniors indeed. Now we have completed our fourth, last and also best year in this school and as we look back to August, 1923, we can see how much we have accomplished, how much we have learned and how much those four years will always mean to us. Many of our fellow-classmen have brought honor to our ranks during this year and every one of our undertakings-and they have been many-have been a. credit to us. Consequently our class loya.lty is very great and we who graduate feel the great joy of achievement. 5 J.

M., Ventura Gounty, California. Reese W arde, the preprietor of this famous resort, with his splen- did core of workers, Margaret Bowker, the matron, Frank Soares, the clerk, Bert Hollingsworth, house detective, Bird Blowers, enterta.iner, Mildred Clark, phone girl, Kay Breitigan, ilower girl, Ernest. Mar- dueno, bell hop, Zlllll Adrian Palmquist, call boy, are receiving many guests of importance. Among them ale: .Howard Willoughby, famous boxer, and his trainer, it red Baker, who are stopped at the door by Marguerite Baldwin, a persistent Salvation A1 my lass. Alice Doty, the local news reporter, questions the clerk concerning late arrivals, and he tells her to stay for they are expecting Lyle Harper, the well-known Botanist. The hotel bus comes from the s-tation bringing Mrs. Van Osten, formerly Marian Havens, rich widow who is in extremely poor health, accompanied by her nurse, Irene Dunton and private secretary, Lucile Whitlock. With satchel in hand, a month's pay in advance a11d three week 's shore leave, Lloyd Maxwell breezes in with Merle Priest, a traveling insurance salesman. Ella Dennison and Toby Lowe, vai11ly trying to conceal the fact that they ale newlyweds, make a con- spicuous entrance. A paity of four enter next, Senator William Soares and his wife Rachel Johnson, with Juanita Guzman, a nervous wreck, and her physician, Dr. James Alexakis. The novelist, Katherine Bishop, 'visits this resort locking for local color for her next novel entitled Why Crowd Sar'dines? After' l1klVl11g' seen to their luggage, Miss Elizabeth Chase, celebrated tennis player a11d her trainer, Clif- ford Sorem, are the last to enter from the bus. Having missed the bus, Mary Gonzales, who is handling Gregg's latest book on shorthand, arrives in a pi11k and blue taxi. Adrian Palmquist, the call boy, booms out tin a loud and familiar voicej Dinner is served in the dining room, first, last, and only call. Act II ' Wliile the guests are at dinner, it is the duty of the hotel clerk to see that the lobby is put ill or'der, and he is giving orders to the parlor' maid, Nell Hawley, and the janitor, Garry Gagnacci. The clerk tells the flower girl that he has heard that Jeanne Rogers, who used to work at their resort, is now a movie star. The policeman on the beat, Carl Bates, drops in as usual to have a few words with the parlor maid, and brings news that Janice Pidduck and Sarita Peters' pawn shop has been robbed. Late once more is the banker, Vincent Chapman, who before going to dinner is in need of a shave. He asks the clerk the whereabouts of a good barber, and Mr. Soares calls in the barber, Robert Dealy, and his manicurist, Frances Mathews. Policeman Bates says goodbye to his lllllllllllllg-00 1 9 2 7 ml!llllllllllllllIllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Twenty-seven IlllnlllllIIllllIlllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllw LA WnllllllllIllllllllllllIllIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllll friend, for he has had no dinner, and is in a hurry to patronize Teffer- teller's Hash House where Guedelia Guzman is waiting table. ' Act III 1 Dinner over, the guests come pouring forth into the spacious lobby and the gentlemen are furnished their evening smokes by Margaret El- well, the cigarette girl. That cry, familiar to all those who have lived in any city, is heard in the outer chamber, Extra, Extra, and Cecil Chaney, newsboy, comes rushing in, shouting the headlines All about platinum from tin cans discovered by Nadine Joyner. Tl1e lights are lowered and outer curtains drawn on the stage in the back ot tl1e lobby. The entertainer, Miss Bird Blowers, has an ex- traordinarily fine program to present to the guests this evening. Francis Petit and Frank Schlapia are the delightful youths that an- nounce the rising of the inner curtain. The program given was as fol- I.

The prowess of both the Junior boys and girls in athletics is res cognized by all experts in sports. For example, witness the scores ot' 24-4 and 40-4 made by the Junior girls in interclass basketball. Are not these figures convincing as well as startling? And it must not be forgotten that the Class C Basketball team that reached the Southern California Semi-finals was made up principally of Juniors. ln the Girls Glee Club practically 50 per cent of the members are Juniors. and the same condition holds true in the Boys Glec Club. lt would be sad to contemplate what these thriving organizations would be if the Junior's tuneful voices were lacking. In forensics and debating also the Class of '28 is unexcelled. Both first and second places were awarded to the Juniors in the Constitu- tional Contest, and three out of four on the debating team were Juniors. ln all Dramatic productions the Juniors play the most important part. The Charm School could 11ot possibly have been the artistic and financial success that it was if it had not been for the fine work of Lynn Rains, Harry Bostwick, Mylo Thomas and the other represent- atives ot' this eminent class. ' But the Junior Class does not excell in the Arts and Athletics alone. ln the more practical sides of education we take an active part. Barbara Spafford, a Junior, who won the County Typing Co-ntest a11d two cups for her excellent work. The Junior's names always stand out prominently o11 the Holler Roll. In all Student Body activities members of the class of '28 are prominent, showing themselves to be leaders in affairs of state as well as in all other branches of life. As yet this year the Juniors have not had the chance of showing what able hosts and hostesses they can be, but everyone is looking for- ward to the Junior Reception with great eagerness knowing that it will be the outstanding success ot' the year and well worthy of the 110- ble Seniors, in whose honor it will be given. One could talk on indefinitely about the various- merits of the Jun- ior Class but the allotted four hundred words are fast drawing to a close so we must make our bow and wait until we are Seniors Hlltl we can have the whole annual devoted to us before we can hope to have our merits properly exploited. .

The Sophomores A and B l1ave pulled together satisfactorily all year. Tl1ey planned and worked together, and the resulthas been crowned with success. Everyone k11ows the 11ames of those Sophomores who have taken part in the Boys' Athletics and have made their class proud of tl1em. Of these the President of the Sophomore As, Vincent Palomares, to- gether with Joe Guzman, Richard Beck and Arthur Langford, perhaps head the list. The Sophomore Girls' Athletics have won many laurels also. It was the Sophomore team who won in an exciting game against the Juniors, the Hockey championship for 1927 with a score of 1-0. The two teams nearly equally matched, fought hard for the victory. In dramatics, too, the Sophs have made a good record. A goodly number of Sophomores took part in typing' contests- there are Sophomores among the members of all the clubs. Mary Bustos, the Tetrazzine of Ventura Hi, is a Sophomore. There are many Sophomores in the Glee Clubs who have helped in the wonderful musical work which Ventura Hi has done this year. In scholastic circles too, the Sophs have done well. On the Honor Roll are found tl1e names: of many of them. Also in tl1e literary de- partment of tl1e Eisteddfod the Sophs have captured some prizes. The Sophomores had hoped to be able to give a reception, but the funds for this event had to be used to pay for the Sophomore picture in the Annual. Nevertheless the Soplispromise to 111ake this reception which did not take place, materialize into the Junior Reception of the Century. ' The Sophomores have now been members of Ventura Hi for t.wo successful years, and every member of the class has learned to love and honor their Alma Mater. They look forward to two more years of the same success and hone to make the class of '29 0110 not soon forerotten in the activities of Ventura Hi. Their officers have cooperated and worked untiringly for the bet- terment of tl1e class and the school and they take this occasion to wish the s-alne success which they have had to the officers of the coming year.

NVe have already had a few represent- ed i11 athletics. And inthe field of activity due credit should be given to the Class C basketball team mostly composed of Freshmen, and there were Freshmen in the last track meet and Coach Cain states that there is some good material in the Freshman class for our football teams. Then there aI'e those who have already shown signs of being excellent scholars. The president of the class is Bill Daly, Vice-pres- ident, Evelyn Calvert, Sec. Phyllis Denty B0y's Rep., Francis Sharp and Girl 's Rep., Nellie Capra. They have held one meeting in which they discussed the coming Senior Reception. Tl1e dues were paid and also tl1e l.5e collected for their picture. Tl1e meetings are to be held the first part of the month and the student body is waiting anxiously to hear the outcome of tl1e plans for the Senior Reception. The recep- tion given to the Freshmen by the Seniors was a success and another flower in the Crown of Glory for the Seniors. But first wait u11tiI the Freshmen complete the plans for their party. lllllllllllllllllllllllllll Illlllllllllllw 1 9 2 7 'mllllllllllll Thirty-six qlnunllunlnn llllll lllllllulnlllnllullnl lll' '61,-gjglgg TQQQLKQInununullulnulllullulllllllllllllllllllllnq 2 - - xvQQ 4-,- f 5 ., MW . f. ii! if Q A Qf gg'?' f -ffXA Npg,wxvnmwa w ., .

'llhe Junior College is as yet a very small institution but one which is decidedly worth while. While the enrollment this year, is only about twenty, we fully appreciate the many advantages. Before the new buildine' was completed conditions weie very ioor mwinv' t congestion. rw 1 .l at no The Junior College is not meant to be a sn1a.ll college, but chiefly an additional year, or possibly two, to tl1e High School, eventually working i11to tl1e six-four-four plan. Under this system, tl1ere would be six years in a Junior High School, four years in a Senior High Scool, and then four years in a Junior College. The advantages of such a11 organization are many, and varied. It is beneficial to those who do not want to go on to College, but who do want more than a High School education. Because, in such a. unit one is able to take up certai11 vocational work, such as in the commercial line. lt is also advantagous for those who are not certain as to whether or not they can make a success in college. It serves as a sorting out process to determine just which ones would be able to make good in a larger university. - The College manner of piesentation and preparation of material is vastly different from that in the secondary school. In tl1e smaller unit one is enabled to become accustomed to the idea gradually tllld to have more personal attention, so that when he does go to college he avoids the struggle which the Freshman so often goes through. ' One of the most valuable assets, is that of finances. Students who would 11ot be able, fi11a11cially, to go the enti1'e four years to a more ex- pensive institution, are enabled to go to school l1ere for two years at very little expense. From the standpoint of the community it is decidedly anasset, for it assists the High school in securing better teachers. Owing to crowded conditions, and the very small enrollment this year, we have I10t accomplished as much as We would like to have done. lVe were able to have a very enthusiastic, although not a very successful basketball team. The entire Junior College Student Body co-operated wonderfully in presenting a. program for tl1e High School Student Body, on April 28, 1927. We also have several members in the Spanish and French Clubs, which helps to promote the friendly spirit between the High School and Junior College. We are now favorably represented in several institutions. Name- ly, at the University of VVashingtong at the University of California, the University of Southern California, and the University of Arkansas.

The officers of the committee are practically the same as those of any or- ganization, namely: president, vice-plesident, secietaiy and treasurer. In additien to thesefcfficers there is a girl's representative and a boy's represeiitative. If all classes are net iepreeented in the above stated offices, a representative is chosen and is pies-ent at all meetings of the S. A. C. ' Few students in V. U. H. S. realize the honor cf being elected as a member of this governing body until they have served one year or pos- sibly two, in the execution of the laws ot our school, or until they have experienced the responsibility ol collecting dues to continue school af- fairs. Owing to the fact that there wats no auditorium during the first semester all assemblies were held on the bleachers. This of course limited the number of student bt dy meetings and the feeling of school spirit was not as pi evale11t as could be hoped for. However, the an- ticipation of a new building in the near future proved to'be a stimulant to the student body officers, and under the able leadership of Carl Bates and with the helping hand a11d woi ds cf cheer from Professor Wise, we were able to bear our burdens. At the beginning of the new semester we entered the new build- ing, with all our hopes lealized. We gazed with wonder and admir- ation at the spacious rooms and beautiful auditorium, and soon were able to settle down to our studies with supreme contentment in our hearts. Since that time there have been mrre regular meetings of the student body, and the spirit of self government and cooperation has steadily increased. The members of the Student Affairs Committee have put forth every effort to further the constructive idea in the student body and inspire the spirit ofLpreservation of school property so that the future students of Ventura High will have a school whose beauty is unmarred by the years. V' The members of the Student Affairs Committee of 1926-27 express our most sincere wishes that the future Student Affairs Committees will have even better success in carrying out the phases of student government. We hope that, with the support of the entire student body and the guiding hand of the Principal, those who come after us will have the good fortune that We have had, and will by expression of their ideals, be able to carry on.

The purpose of the club has been to create interest among the chemistry students in tl1e practical applications of chemical actions and processes, and also to show the value and use of chemistry in everyday life. if' ll The meetings, which are held rn the second Tuesday of each month, have been very successful in programs and attendance. The programs, which are arranged each time to further the purpose ot' the club by a committee composed of the members, have been both interest- ing and beneficial. Refreshments have also been served at each meet- ing, and one meeting was held in Foster Park which consisted mostly of refreshments--hot dogs and everything that goes with them. The Uhemistry Club extends an invitation to anyone to join who has taken chemistry in High School on who is now taking it.

The first French Club was instituted perhaps four or five years ago under the direction of Miss Thomas, then Head of the French Department. This Club consisted entirely of girls, and was named Les Jasuses or The C'hatterers. Wlhen Miss Thomas left the school, the club broke up, and nothing was done towards its re- newal. In 1925 Mrs. Martha Griffith the present Head of the French De- partment came to Ventura, and there was a revival of interest in the language. Under Mrs. Griffith's able direction and spurred on by her own intense interest and charming manner, the French Club was reorganized under the name of t'l.e Cel cle Francais. Immediately before the Christmas holidays Le Cerele Francais gave a delightful program entirely in French. Tea and wafers were served and the evening was pronounced a very enjoyable one. The French Club herpes to be able te give a. short play entitled Nous Verronsn or Vile shall see. The officers of the- club who have worked hard all year in behalf of Le Cercle have great hopes that this play will, besides being socially a success, enable the club to add a bit to its meagre treasury. For the rest, the activities of the club speak for themselves. It is well conducted, well organized, and a great addition to the many social activities of Ventura High School.

Sci. Club are: President Siarita Peters, Vice-President Leonard Fulbright and Supervisor Mr. Hebel. The pur- pose of this club as stated by Mr. Hebel, ls to further the interests of the High School student in the practical application of theory and prin- ciple in their courses. The Club has shown much enthusiasm in Sci- ence and they wait with much impatience for their meetins which are hela the second Tuesday of each month. At their meetings they man- age to have a program that is entertaining as well educational. This Club is particularly of interest to boys who like laboratory workg and mechanism. And it is a never ending delight to the girls to find out how their sewing machines are constructed or how soap is made and what is tl1e degrees for boiling on the thermometer which applies mostly to the ones interested in cooking. As the Club deals in Soil-rico and current happenings only it is- a helpful and worthwhile organiza- tion to belong to.

As the Latin department has grown in numbers 211111 interest the idea was conceived of forming a. society for its meni- be1's. This club is the result. The Societas Romana i11 the few months it has been organized has proved to be one of the most active and prominent bodies in V. U. H. S. lts purpose is to stimulate interest among tl1e students, in the worthiness and modern necessity of the so-called dead language. The officers of the club bear the title of Roman Officers rather than the usual titels of parlimentary usage. The club itself is divided by Classes, corresponding to the Roman Orders. The highest order is held by the Seniors and the lone Junior of the Clicero class, while the other menibers are grouped according to their year of study. To prove to the school that we were thoroughly alive, our first public ventura was a candy sale, this proved- to be the best of the year, both as a financial return and satisfaction of customers. On April 7, we put on an Easter program. This was given in the auditorium and was open to the public. The program consisted of tableaux, illustrat- ing classical themes, an Easter message in Latin by a member of the club, and musical numbers. To our faculty advisor, Miss Baumgardner, is due the success of the club, in no small measure. Her tireless energy and patience were important factors in all our activities. May next year's Societas Ro- mana be bigger and better.

P llllilllg' the Ol1tl1l1Sl2lbIl1 of the old 1l1t IlllJ01'S high, and the cries for nienibership by the eligible students loud, plains were innnediately begun for an active year zihezid. The higl1 status of the Club was proved by the fact that not eniy were High School Students asking for admittance but advanced Junior College students knocked at the door of the Spanish Club. Twenty-two 1I19IHbCI'S struggled through the initiation tests, raising tI1e ineinbersliip to ai nuniber greater than ever before. Now boasting the largest and certainly one of the most active nieni- berships of the school cmgaiiizatioris, El Ciiculo Espanol is prosperingg eneh niernber proving he is worthy of his Il1t'll1bQl'S,l1lp. Plans for 21 short play i11 the future are now being worked out. Much credit is due to lla. Senoru Baker for her never-failing help and inspiration. VVith a lively year behind us and a still more active year Elllfiltl, the Spanish Club is assured of a brilliant future.

Perhaps because of the lack of an auditorium the first part of the year, and dramatic activities the latter part, which occupied tl1e coach 's time, no interclass debates were held. The interscliolastic debate took place on December 10, with Santa Paula, and on December 13 with Simi. The question under discussion was Resolved, that War, eicept in ease of invasion or internal relic - lion should be declared o11ly by the direct consent of the people of the United States. Our negative team met defeat at the hands of Santa Paula while the affirmative debaters lost to Simi. The teams were composed of Lynn Rains and Alice Doty, negative, Doris Hershberger and Wanda Hayden, affirmative. N 0RAf1'0RICAL.

Football ' ' teaches cooperation, character, loyalty, physical wel- fare, and many other beneficial needs that every parent wants his boy to have for his struggle with life. Ventura Union High School may feel proud of her 1926 team which marched through a difficult schedule with six victories, three defeats, and one tie. Outstand- ing among the victories was the defeat of Loyola Prep, a strong Los Angeles- team, and our old rivals Santa Paula. The season of 1926 is now past history, and we bid goodbye to some very fine Seniors who helped to make our season successful. Outstanding among this group were: Carl Bates, half , Wm. Cagnacci, captain and guard, Paul Cassidy, end, Cecil Chaney, tackle, Charles Chrisman,full back, Cecil Garrison, guard, Kenneth Tef- ferteller, half, and Howard Willoughby, tackle. Players deserving special mention are Carl Bates, who played a consistent game, carrying the blunt of the punting, and Richard Beck who has proved a reliable tackle. The team owes a. debt of gratitude to the aid of Fl. M. Prescott, Assistant Coach Q U. of Mont.l, Don Rioff, special Coach 1U. of Calif.j and Honey Earl QU. S. CJ, besides the Alumni Association, Junior College, and Business Men of Ventura. What of 1927? We look forward with pleasure to our first game next Fall in our new Stadium that Ventura through our Board of Trustees has so graciously furnished. We'will have two teams at least next Fall, our unlimited High School team, and our Class 'B' team composed of underclassmen, ready to give all they have for the honor of Ventura Union High School.

Ventura. kicked off a11d in a few minutes San Fernando scored on a ten yard pass. Ventura received and on the first play fumbled, San Fernando recovered, then ran wild with end runs and passes, while Ventura pro- ceeded to continue its disastrous fumbling. San Fer- nando scored another touchdown with a beautiful pa.ss, but failed to kick. They then made their final touchdown of the game by a 60-yard run. The goal was kicked, making the score 19-0 as it remained the rest of the game. The second quarter found Ventura outclassed by San Fernando and it was featured by two runs of over thirty yards by Howard Merle. V In the third quarter San Fernando was penal- ized five times, mainly, for illegal clipping Capelli made a nice run of twenty-five yards on a well executed crisscross, and the quarter ended with no score and Ventura fighting hard. Gari-ison's punting was very good in the fourth quarter, averaging in the vicinity of 45 yards- Ventura. Versus Loyola. Preparatory School Ventura overpowered Loyola Prep. school in one of the best prac- tice games of the year. Loyola kicked off and the ball was carried back and forth by both teams for the first quarter. Our line was holding like a brick wall, and our goal was never in danger of the Loyola moleskins. Our team fumbled several times in the first quarter but no harm resulted. In the second quarter it looked like we were headed for a sure touchdown. Capelli was making nice gains on off-tackle plays. But a disastrous fumble spoiled our chances for this quarter, however this did not bother our team. In the next two plays Gapelli carried the ball 25 yards on an off-tackle play, and the next play quarterback Mahoney fooled them with a criss-cross, and Tefferteller carried the ball 20 yards, and tl1e quarter ended. A few minutes after Brown kicked off in the third quarter, Mitch- ell blocked a Loyola punt and Beck fell on the ball in the Loyola scoring turf. Garrison drop-kicked to make the score 7-0, Ventura's favor. Capelli injured his knee and Balaam took his place in the last of this quarter. X In the final quarter we outplayed the Loyola squad, andiwere within their 35-yard line most of the time. Loyola launched a desperate passing game, but our backfield knocked them all down. The game ended with Garrison trying for a goal by a line buck. Capt.

Ventura kicked off and the hard fighting Simi team received, and started a march for our goal, but Ventura soon tightened up and the ball Hsee-sawed back and forth for the remainder of that quarter- In the second quarter Ventura started to play, and Garrison made a touchdown after a pretty Hcriss-cross by Balaam. The point was missed as the half ended. Coach Cain certainly knows how to talk to the boys for in t11e third quarter they came back looking for blood. Capelli and Garrison starred in line plunging, Garrison making a 30-yard run for a touch- down, the point was made with a dropkick and a few minutes later Garrison ran 55 yards through center for another touchdown. Capelli made one more touchdown to finish the quarter and Garrison drop- kicked the goal. In the last quarter several criss-crosses were again effectively used and Balaam made a touchdown on a line buck. Mahoney neatly kicked the pigskin between the bars for the final point as the game closed. Ventura. 335 Simi O. Ventura Versus Oxnard Ventura met Oxnard in our annual football clash with them, and the yearly jinx held true. Our team fought their best throughout the game and there are no words but praise for them. For three quarters Ventura kept the ball in Oxnard's territory and the Oxnard team was battling hard to keep from being scored upon by the Orange and Black. In the beginning of the fourth quarter Oxnard managed to carry the ball into our territory for about five minutes, but that period of five minutes lost the game for us. Ventura was punting under their own goa.l and Oxnard's luck came forth. The punt was blocked and rolled over the line and an Ox- nard man fell on it. We had the consolation however, of smearingl their try for the extra point. There were nine minutes left to play and our team fought hard. An aerial attack was opened up and in three plays the ball was carried to Oxnard 's 15-yard line. But this was our unlucky day because a bad pass from center ruined our last hope of a touchdown. With 25 yards to go the ball was lost on downs and Oxnard punted out of danger as the game ended- We certainly have a team to be proud of and Coach Cain made our team put everything they had into the game. There will always be another game with Oxnard and maybe the Oxnard luck will break, then our time will come. llullllullli-4-M 1 9 2 7 -wt-flnmlImlmllumlununmummm Sixty-one F llIllllllllIllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllW LA mllllllllllllllllllll llIllIllllllllllllllllllllllllll Ventura Versus Fillmore Our varsity eleven clashed with L illmore Armsitice day on Santa l'aula's field before a large crowd.

All the members of this yeai s championsliip Class 'Cl' team will be back next year and they will all be eligible for the lightweight team. All the members of this team have had at least two years of basketball experience, and they will probably form the neucleus of next year 's team. The lightweight team had a rather bad season this year, due mainly to lack of good material. However, they won several close and very interesting games, improving a great deal towards the end of the season. Coach Cain coached and managed the team. The team was composed of Ru:-bert Cunningham, Merle Priest, Anthony Peters, Joe Guzman, Gordon Davis, Paul Cassidy and Lester VVilcox. llllllllllllli-C-... 1 9 2 7 ff-4-mlmlunlunuInInunlmnnnnnnmu 0 Sixty-five A .

Track Meet Ventura placed fourth in the fourteenth annual Russel Cup track meet at Oarpenteria in which many of the schools of Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo counties were represented. Santa Bar- bara won the meet with Oxnard second and Santa Maria third. This is how they finished: Adams, third in the shot put, Haydock, first i11 the broad jump and third in the 100-yard dash, iidI'lIl31l,,' third in the pole vault, Soares second in the 880, and third in the mile. , The meet was divided into two classes, A and O. Only class A is counted in the above summary. Class C finished loui-th in their divis- ion for Ventura High. Santa. Barbara Meet Ventura took 8 points at the Santa Barbara meet but did not make as good a showing as in the Oarpenteria meet. Bill Soares was high point man for Ventura Hi, he placed third in the 880, and then came from sixth to first place to win the mile in a splendid finish. The time was 4:50 and is one of the best times made around this part of the state this year. Garman took third in the pole vault to make Venturals other point.

The credit of the gan1e goes to Peters, left handed pitcher for the Pirates. Although a substitute pitcher, Peters wen the game in the first seven innings by allowing only 3 hits and by sQriking nut five men. Banty Chapman then pitched tl1e last two innings, st11.king out 3 men and allowing no hits. The battely of' Peters and Beck wo1'ked nicely and Jewett and Tef- ferteller worked well in the infield. Jewett starred at bat by getting 4 hits out of 4 times up. Priest, Cagnacci, and Stover featured i11 the outfield, making nice catches. The team put the game 1.11 ice the first inning when they seoied six runs off Morality, the star Lancaster pitcher. Veimira Vs. Moorpark Ventura defeated M'NJl'IJHl k in the first game of the couniy league series by a 25 to tl score in a seven inning game.

' Fillmore Vs. Ventura 1 Playing our fourth league game of the season, our baseball team succeeded in retaining their winning streak by defeating Fillmore Hi by the decisive score of 8 to 0. Bot.h teams played good ball but Fillmore was unable to solve our IJltCilCI','c' tstuff.' Rudy Cagnacci, veteran outfielder, came through with a timely homer i11 the first inning of the game with three men O11 which practically put the game 011 ice because Banty Capman, besides striking twenty 111en out, pitched a no-hit game. Ventura. vs. Santa, Paula, ,' The Ventura team added one more victory to their long list when they defeated Santa Paula 6 to 0 at Seaside Park. This made Ventura the leader in the county league and with only Oxnard left to play, our team seems to have the county championship on ice. . 1 p 1 Chapman pitched a great game, striking out 17 Santa Paulaimen and allowing only 5 hits. Chapman has a truly wonderful record.. His average number of strikeouts per inning has been two for the last two years. He has been given wonderful support this year, both in the in- field and the outfield. If our team continues at its present pace it will be very near, if 110t the champions of Southern California.

They let the boys use it now and then? Even the boys will admit the truth of this statement. That's truly a feminine beginning, that digression, and we must come down to the subject of discussion, the Girls' Physical Educa.tion. You, gentle reader, will note that We purposely avoided the title, Girls' Athletics. Contrary, perhaps, to popular conception, we've tried to broaden the scope of our program a11d make of it one more inclusive than a straight sport calendar. Of these other phases of our activity we will speak first. Have you ever wondered why the girls sit up fairly straight in Assembly, why they lcok well, as our Principal re- . . cently said. As a department We are vain enough to Coach Boyd feel that perhaps it's due in part to the Wand drills, the military marching, the Indian club work, and even the agonizing stretching on the stalls. The ancient wise men told us that man was merely a bundle of l1abits. To walk well and sit cor- rectly is one of the ideals the Girls' Physical Education Department tries to inculcate. Sports reign supreme in America. Our girls typify the spirit of the times and tl1ey're the happiest when they are in pursuit of a ball, be it hockey, soccer, basketball, baseball, tennis, volley ball, or even mass ball. In some classes the competition between the groups 11215 been very keen and the buzzer sounded too quickly. The interclass series brings out the stars in every class-some that have never shone before. One of the most fascinating things about sports is the element of uncertainty. Now who expected any team to conquer the redoubtable Junior Hctekey League gang? Yet this year the Sophomores, captained by VVanda Hayden, did it. And would you have thought the Freshmen, green as they usually are in the use of sticks, could have held the sturdy Scphomores to a score of one to nothing? Some sixty girls engaged in the series. Basketball, Ventura's game, came next, it was so called because once both boys and girls excelled in it. VVith a record of straight victories for three consecutive years the girls this year lost twice to Ojai, lost, won a Moorpark game, lost to the Santa Barbara Girls' School and Won twice from Carpinteria. Defeat doubtless is a valuable experience. There is material galore for next season.

It depends on them. They ought to do it. With almost all the Varsity Basketball Team members of the Junior Class, theirs was a sweeping victory in the intramural schedule. The Freshman-Sophomore game with Babe Dent starring for ine first year girls provided the real thrills. Had there been two Dents- well, it's- not safe to prophesy. Again, we 1'epeat, the unexpected olten happens in sports. At the date of the press dead line the Girls' Baseball Team appear in excellent form for capturing the County Cup. Ojai was crushed in their first game by a 19-4 score. That was the first of the six-game county schedule. With seven letter girls, Rachel Johns. n, Annie Coy, Winnie Savage, Mary Anorga, Ellen Reed, Mildred Bowker, and Elizabeth Stover talmost an entire tc-amy holding down old position ', the team ought not to blow up, speaking i11 sport jargen. The equipping of the players with fielding gloves, toe, has given the g'lll'3 added confidence. Here's to their success. Another innovation of the year was the organiraticn of a four weeks' perpetual volley ball tournament, terminating May 20. Thir- teen teams are participating at the time of writing, thus engaging as a minimum seventy-eight girls in the play. Whether the Dennison team, the Clhaney, or the Bowker, or whose team will be ranking Number One on May 20th, we can 't tell you now. More play, more fun and better bodies we know to be a result of mass participation. Qlnter- class volley ball will be the first week in June, the last event on our calendar. Can the mighty Juniors take this championship? The Seniors and Sophomores say NO. What of the future? The coming year, 1927-1928, ought to be a banner year. VVith new dressing room quarters, showers aplenty, and a larger outdoor playing space, conditions appear most favorable. -ln the last analysis, however, we know that equipment does not entirely make a school. The students themselves are the all-important factor. That they will realize to the utmost their opportunities is the fondest hope of those who work with them.

Ventura Despite a rather shaky gyni, our girls met Moorpark for the first league basketball ganie of the County in which Mk:-orpatrk merged forth the victors. Our girls were somewhat frightened by the size of their opponents and therefore got off to a bad start. During the first half of the game llloorpark had the plays just about as they pleased, as shown by the seore-19 to 5. Between halves Miss Boyd made changes, but despite this, Moor- park still led at the end of the quarter.

Kido's work deserves special n1entio11 as she was the star of our team and allround man playing center, guard and forward, making over half of our points. Ventura Vs. Carpenteria Our first game of the season resulted i11 a victory, but by so narrow a margin that it was not the victory it seemed. This being a practice game it was not thought necessary to use the best combinations, so that at the end of the half we saw the small end of the score 6-12. Putting in her old reliables,T' as Miss Boyd called them, Ventura saw the large end of the score 19 to 28. That was a good start for at good season. Ventura Vs. Moorpark Moorpark 11-Ventura 283' . , That's the score of the second game with Moorparkf' How come? Team work. The girls played their best game of the season at Moorpark when they succeeded in defeating Moorpark by a score of ll. to 28. Their team work showed the result of hard Workouts and much time. The girls forgetting the size of their opponents played a remark- able game in which very few fouls were called. Atta way, Ventura. Ventura Vs. Garpenteria. Ventura again met with success when the girls journeyed to Car- penteria to play them a return game on 0arp's court. Our girls played an exceptionally good brand of basketball, out- playing their opponents throughout the first, second and third quarters. In the last quarter Carp pepped up but were unable to overcome the vast lead which our girls l1a.d secured in the first. Despite the fact that the goal was hard to find, Kido, Noisy and Tommy made our score 32 while those for Carp, June in particular, scored 22. Those of prominence for the Orange a.nd Black were Dot, Chumpy, Stell, Winnie, Chamberlain and Babe, 'Deane, a new girl, was given a chance at center with Phillips as running center. nnmIuluuuunluunnmmmmmmmluIQ-ew 1 9 2 7 - O-illlllllllll Eighty lulllllulnllullngl gQnllnlullullllnlI e Ventura.

SANTA PAULA PLAY DAY VVitl1 the idea of furthering the interest in play days, Santa Paula extended invitations to all the schools- in the county for a play day to be held at Santa Paula on March 12. s Opening the day with a posture parade of all the girls, the locals succeeded in getting the cup, with Ventura a very close second, Ox- nard third, Fillmore fourth and Moorpark fifth. The racquet weilders for V. U. H. S. were D. Buck, VV. Savage, D. Ryan and R. Johnson, who succeeded in tying with Santa Paula. for the cup, each school having three points-. On the field our girls were quite marvels, some of them carrying off red and blue ribbons just as easily as they carry a book. Blue rib- bon winners for V. U. H. S. were: Stover. Hewston, and Tom- my, those who saw white were, C'hvmny and Babe Tommy succeeded in obtaining a redbanner also. Ventura took third in the Medlay and Four Men relays following Oxnard and Santa Paula. The afternoon was devoted chiefly to team games and the tennis finals. The games were not as successful as they might have been as it was difficult to distinguish teammate frem opponent.

As we walked up the crooked avenue, a particular house caught my eye and I ' ' stopped to look at it. It was a huge mansion of red brick and ancient masonry, with a very forbidding look. All of the win- dows on a.ll three floors were closed by heavy blinds, and the massive oaken door, set amid granite pillars that supported the low roof of the porch, bespoke security- It had apparently been deserted for many years, for swallows had built their mud homes under the eaves, while other birds perched on the various outcroppings- of masonry or flew in and out among the chimneys and gables which were scattered uniformly over the rotting roof. I next turned my attention to the great yard and noticed that there were a multitude of sheds and outhouses grouped at the rear. Farther on was a large carriage shed, at the back of which was an ample barn with spacious stables. All were surrounded by dense trees, and over all dwelt a sense of mystery as over the brick mansion. They sagged sadly, and signs of age and long desertion were manifold among them. The yard, which covered approximately three acres, still held evidences that it had once been very beautiful with shrubs and vines, trees and flowers, and extensive lawns, but through long neglect these had either died or spread themselves over the whole estate, along 'with the creeking 'tdevil-grass that always marks a. neglected yard or garden. The brick sidewalks, as well as the brick driveway, had been forced apart by the grass and weeds, and the once beautiful fountain was covered with dead moss and grass. This whole desolate scene was separated from the street by a high fence of rusty iron palings set in mortar. fe 4 When I again turned to my companion, I found him staring vac- antly at the sad old house with a peculiar far-a.-way look in his eyes. I startled him out of his reminisences with an abrupt observation: I say, Mr. Davis, said I, that house certainly has an air ot mystery around it, has'n't it? It has that, answered Mr. Davis, with that far-a-way look still in his eyes. He stroked his aristocratic white tuft bea.rd for a moment ,before he added, and it has good cause to be, too. Maybe you'd like to hear the story? I nodded assent and he went on, Well it's a long story but let 's sit down over there under that tree and I'll tell 'i't to you. As we crossed the street and made our wa.y to a bench under one of the tall poplars that bordered the quiet street, I rejoiced over the IIIIIIIIIIIQ-he 1 9 2 7 v-+Qlllllmmummlunuunmmmuumu Eighty-three 1' ' ' 1 jvwrri IllIllllllllllllllIllllIllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllM mlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll prospect of a storyi I knew Mr. Davis to be at retired police captain of Boston, who rich in knowledge of all the happenings of that quaint old town where he had been born, and as I am fond of mysteries, I welcomed my companion's suggestion with all my heart. We sat down where we could clearly see the old house, and Mr. Davis settled himself as well as possible with his ba.d leg and took his hat off so that the slight breeze could blow through his curly white hair, which had not yet begun to grow thin despite his sixty odd years of life. That place, he said, by way of an opening, is the old Hend- rick Gaspard mansion, and tl1e story I'm goin to tell you about hap- pened :ilmost thirty-six years ago, just twenty-three years before I retired from service because of my bum leg. I broke it some years ago, you know, and it didn't knit right. I had been in the service six years then and I was still a private when an old gentleman came to headquarters and wanted two fel- lows to stay with him over nights because he thought that somebody at his home was trying to murder him. An Irishman, Corporal O'Brien, and I were assigned to him, and we drove eff with him in his carriage, wl1iel1 was a very fine one drawn by fine gray horses. He proved verv talkative so that O'Brien and I soon learned all about his home life a.nd affairs. He told us that he lived all alone in a great house except for a housekeeper, a gardner, and two or three servants a.nd that he had only one living relative in the World, his son John, who was then at Cambridge University. We found his name to be Hendrick Gaspard, and, when we turned into his driveway and clattered over the bricks to the front porch where we got out while the coachman drove on to the carriage shed, and when we entered that grand old mansion, we knew him to be very wealthy. In the great hall we were met by a negro butler who we at once noticed to have a very frightened and cringing 3lI'. 0'Brien watched the negro as he slunk out of the hall and then remarked to Mr. Gaspard, Sure now, and phwat's tl1e matter with yer butler? Mr Gaspard smiled and said, 'All of the servants are like that and I'm almost that way myself! And why are ye? pursued 0'Brien. VV:-ll. come into the living room, said Mr. Gaspard, 'and I'll tell you why.' VVe followed him through a high, curtained doorway into a spacious, high ceilinged room which was the picture of luxury. High, well filled boekcases lined the walls. while an immense fireplace oc- cupied most of one side of the room. On each side of the fireplace were large bay Windows with well cushioned Window seats and two more windows at the back of the room added to the other beauties of the fiifalnher, a view of the beautiful gardens. Above the bookcases hung IIllllllllllllllllllllllllIIllIllIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllw 1 9 2 7 lmllIllIllllllllIllIllllllllllllllIllIllllllllllllllllllllllll Eighty-four lllllullllllllllIllulIllIllIllllllllllllllllllllllllmjj IIllIllIlllllllllllllllllullllllllllllllllllllllllll several rare old paintings, and the floor was thickly carpeted with rich rugs of oriental pattern' In the center of the room was placed a massive table while grouped around it were several chairs of old colon- ial makes and designs. In one corner stood an old-fashioned secretary and in another was an equally old-fashioned grand-father clock. VN hen we had seated ourselves, our host began, 'G811tl8II18l1, you will probably think that lim telling fiction, but 1'm willing to swear to it. lilvery night, we a1ou11d here are kept awake by the most horrid shrieks and groans, and 11ow and then I have seen, ihtting here and there among these rooms, what look to be heavy shadows. 'Lhe othen day Sam, the butler, came to me and said that he had seen, peeping at him from the head of the stairs, an evil face that uttered a shriek and flitted noislessly away along the corridors. ltvwas hard for me to keep Sam and the rest from leaving, but I promised to get aid from the police ii we should see it again. Then just last night as I was going to bed, I heard feet on the stairway and I looked up in time to see a horrible face leering at me from the head of the stairs, then the thing flitted off i11to my room. Gentlemen, I can't describe it. You 'll have to see it, yourselves, to feel as I felt the11.' Here Mr. Gaspard's forced cheerfulness somewhat left him and he paused. I began to feel creepy, and I know that O,Brien did also be- cause lie fidgited in his chair Hlld looked uneasily at a great volume ol' Edgar Allen Poe 's writings headed by the title, ine ran of the House of Usher and Other Works, in the great bookcase just in front of hi111. Utbiien was always uneasy when it came to uiinatdrai 114514 pennings so he got up and walked around the room, stopping .n ir. nt of the bookcase. Opening the glass door, he reached for that book of Poe's It seemed to stick and, as he had not really wanted it, he left it and sat down again. In the meantime our host resumed, 'as I was saying, that evil figure Went into my room so I decided not to rieep there but went back into the kitchen and stayed there with the frightened servants. I guess that is all I have to tell you, gentlemen, except that we have always traced the figure to this room but never out of it again and that the shrieks and groans seem to center around this room! VVhen did these disturbances begin? I asked. 'About two weeks ago,' he answered- 'Do you know how this house is built, or any peculiar circuni- stance about it?' I questioned further. 'Why, no, I don't. My father bought it about fifteen years ago, and he didnlt get the prints so I know nothing of the structure of this house. My father began to suffer from mental disorders about nine years ago and killed himself in this very room but we found nothing in his papers about the house! This mention of the elder Gaspard's demise caused O'Brien to fidget still more, but Mr. Davis talked on, 'However, I don't think ll lllllll lllllllllll llllllllllllllllll W 1 9 2 7 'mlllllIllllllIllllllllllIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll ' Eighty-five ummmuu llllllllllllllllm qjfijnnuulnu mumuun that there is anything super11a.tural about it. I believe that some per- son or persons are trying to frighten me or harm me for my wea1th.' Having exhausted his source of iniormation on the subject, M1'. Gas- pard talked of other things of current interest and told us some inter- esting anecdotes, but as the afternoon wore on and the shadows be- gan to gather, our host became silent, his cheerfulness entirely van- ished, and he became very uneasy. At dinner that night we decided that one of us was to keep watch in the living room till o11e o'clock when we were to change. I myself was to keep the fi1'st watch to be relived by U'Brien. W e had previous- ly been shown to our rooms which were on the second floor so 0'Brien went to bed early while Mr. Gaspard soon followed, both being con- fident of my watchfulness. All we11t well lor some hours, and I was beginning to get over my nervousness when I was startled by a ter- rible, feminine scream. I jumped from my seat before a hot fire in the fire-place and bolted to the hall where I had heard the scream. As I ran through the curtained doorway I bumped i11to Mrs. Simmons, the housekeeper. H '0, Oi saw it, Ui saw it,' she cried i11 breathless excitement- Saw what? I asked. Sure now, and phwat do you think Oi saw? she demanded, with a rich Irish accent, and I saw that she was vexed ai my stupid- ity, for I knew very well what she had seen. Where did you see it? I queried. Ui was coming up tl1e stairs when Oi saw its evil face looking at me from the door of the master's room, then it turned and went back into the room and Oi heard it open the window a11d jump onto the porch roof and ru11 around to the north side of the house. 'Ihin Ui came down to tell yez of it. I was shocked at this news for I k11ew that Mr. Gaspard had intending to sleep in his own room, trusting my keeping watch. Had I deceived his trust? Had I failed in my duty? Had I unwittingly let that awesome spectre that had disturbed this household for two weeks slip by me in the living room? I reflected for a moment and decided that I had not. While in the living room, I had kept my eyes and ears peeled to such an extent that nothing could have been in the room without my seeing it. If that were so, then Mr. Gaspard was mistaken when he had said that the thing had never been traced be- yond this room or else it had stayed all day in one of the deserted rooms of the third floor. However, this was improbable. At this juncture, O'Brien came down the stairs- with a candle and demanded to know what was wrong. He was soon informed, and I professed a fear that something had happened to Mr. Gaspard. Our course was clear to us and we leaped up the stairs and hastened along the narrow corridor to our host 's room. It was very dark and the light of our candle was too dim to see anything by. I found a lamp, however, IlllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllluf- 1 9 2 7 WilIIIllIllIlllllIllIlllllllllIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllll Eighty-six . 'S' . IIllllIllIllIllIllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllnlmjf Mlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll and lit it and when our eyes got used to the light we looked around the room. ,J H It was as I had half expected' The old man lay very still on the mussed up bed, and we noticed a peculiar blue color over all of his features. And then we saw the cause. Un the aged throat were the imprints of fingers, fingers that bore, long, sharp finger nails. After a few minutes search we found that there was not one vestige of life i11 the body. This is rather disconcerting to have our employer killed on our first night of duty,' I observed rather jokingly to raise poor O'Brien's lagging spirits but he remained glum, just staring and staring at the dead man 's face. Then I felt a breeze on my back and remembered what Mrs. Simmons had said about the window being opened. I turned to close it but brought up with a gasp. Glory be. ejaculated Ulbrien who had turned at my gasp. At this point Mr Davis suddenly ceased and prodded a.t the moist earth with his cane. He sat still, apparently thinking, for so long that I began to grow vexed. Well, said I, that's not a very good place to stop. M I He took the hint and resumed, 'tWell, I just eantt describe to you what I saw. At least, so that you could see how horrible, how awful, how terrible, it really looked to O'Brien and me. There, framed in the open window, was a face that I'll remember as long as I live. It was partially covered with black beard, while thick matted hair hung down on all sides of it. The eyes were deeply sunken a11d aflame with an evil light, and the teeth were yellow and uneven. The features were convulsed and distorted as with uncontrollable passion or anger- It was unquestionably the face of a monomaniac and one that would terrify the bravest person in the world. How long that terrible countenance had been leering at us I do not know, but as soon as it preceived that it had ben seen, it vanished. Then O'Brien recovered himself and, pulling out his revolver, sent two shots after it out into the inky blackness of the night. A derisive shriek drifted back from the end of the porch roof, followed by a cackle of maniacal laughter, then the soft thud of a light body dropping to the ground. I l ll .wh 0'Brien and I looked at each other for a long moment and then he said in a somewhat shaky voice, Well now, and Oi 'll be after ye're telling me phwat it Was. ' ' 0'Brien said nothing but walked over to the window and locked it, then he covered the dead man with a blanket, picked up the lamp, and, motioning for me to follow, he stalked out of the room. He locked the door behind us with a key that he had taken from M.r. Gaspard's table, along with several others, and we went down to the living room. Needless to say, neither of us felt at all like going to bed but decided lllllllllllplllllullIllIllIIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllmv 1 9 2 7 'WIllIIllIllIllIIllIllIIllIllIIllIllIllllllllllllllllllllllll Eighty-seven lllllllllllllIllIllIllIllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllm mlllllllllllIllIllIllllIllIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllll to stay up the few remaining hours before sunrise. These passed un- eventfully, and just after breakfast we we11t down to headquarters to report and to send a message to young John Gaspard at Cambridge over the force's telegraph. W ord came back, however, that he had been expelled from school some time ago for certain reasons. The reaso11s were not given. This was bad news because, as we could not locate tl1e younger Gaspard, we should have to arrange for the reading of his father's will as well as make preparations for the burial without l1in1. We de- cided, however, to wait a day or so before arranging anything. After making our report to Chief of Police Watson we were put under the command of First Lieutenant H. H. Anderson and or- dered to return to the Gaspard mansion and try to clear up the mys- tery. The force's ambulance went with us and brought back the body. That night we agreed on the same plan of keeping watch in the living room, with O'Brien taking the first watch to be relieved by Lieutenant Anderson- When the lieutenant and I left O'Brien he told us that he had always wanted to read Poe 's Fall of the House ot' Usher and that he thought that this was a good time to do it. Then he added with his natural Irish humor, 'Sure 11ow, and ye byes need- n't worry about Old Corporal 0'Brien. 0i'll plug the first thing that Ui sec, spook or 1na11, that looks loike it had no busiess here! 'I was awakened from a sleep sometime later by Lt. Anderson wl1o was in a state of high excitement. 'Get up, Davis,' he said, 'there is work to do. Corporal 0'Brien has disappeared! Disappeared, I exclaimed, jumping out of bed a.nd hastily put- ting on my clothes, 'incredible, absurd, ridiculous. How can a man dis- appear, may I ask? lt may be incredible or absurd or whatever you may call it but all I know is that when I went down to relieve him a few minutes ago, he had entirely vanished. There 's no sign of a scuffle or any clue what- ever except a big book of Edgar Allen Poe's, lying on the floor by that middle bookcase. 1 was dressed by this time and we hurried down to the living room. As we entered, the big clock struck one-thirty o'clock, so we began inrnnediately to hu11t for clues of the missing O'Brien. All was as the lieutenant had said. It was as if the little corporal had melted i11to thin air just as he had pulled that volume of Poe's out of the bookcase. What puzzled me was that there had been no outcry of any sort, then Ireflected that neither had there been-any from Mr. Gas- pard on the night of his death. 'Maybe this madman was one that gave his victims no chance to yell,' was the thought that came into my mind- I picked up the book from the floor and opened the door to put it back into its proper place. I noticed that it went in very hard and even after I had pushed and shoved till I was red in the face it still projected about two i11cl1es beyond the rest of the books on the shelf. IllIllIllillIllIllIllIllIllIllIllIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllw 1 9 2 7 'mllllllllllll Eighty-eight I lllllllllllllgmjlga gQ.Q'k'ulllllllll lllllllllllllllllllll Tl1is exasperated me so I pulled it out to try it all over again. Ahnost insta.ntly there was a soft grating noise and a whirring sound as of heavy steel cylinders rapidly revolving around each olher ill well oiled orbits. Then, before our astonished gaze, one end of the great bookcase receded slowly until it. swung theie like a massive door, revealing a black hole in the wall as big as an ordinary doorway. lt l1u11g open for a short moment and then swung slowly back to its former position. A lock clicked and all was as it had been when we entered the room. Th lieutenant looked at me and I looked at the lieutenant and he spoke first, ' Well, Davis,' he said, 'we at least know where 0 'Brien is, but how did you do it? Clan you oo it agauiz' 'tl .think I can, sir, I answered. A great light had dawned on me, and I put my hand into the apeiature where lJoe's volume should be. It was as I had thought. About half way toward the back of the bockcase was a small steel plate that stuck about a quarter of an inch above the regular shelving. I thrust my little finger under the plate and it came in contact with a slender steel tube around which was coiled a high tension spring of very thin steel. l tl1e11 pressed gently on the plate with my other hand and felt the spring tighten, then I took my hand off the plate and felt the spring relax while the iron tube tuined slowly and the whirring began again, but ceased before anything happened as I had not press- ed the plate hard enough. This plate was suppo-rted by three steel rods, 0119 of which was connected to the spring in such a manner that by tl1e revolving of the rod and a number of small gears, the spring was tightened. I have the secret now, lieutenant, said I, and then I explained the mechanism to my superior oficer. I concluded by saying: 'You will observe, lieutenant, that the bookcase is divided into two compart- ments, one of wl1icl1 is stationary wl1ile the other is placed on a pivot base. The weight of the book is sufficient to hold the plate down but when the book is removed the plate flys up, releasing a spring lock which sets in motion a series of revolving cylinders and hanging weights and pulleys which operate the pivot base of the bookcase. All of this is so cleverly concealed that from this room the bookcase is apparently as solid as any bookcase' I think it is a clever system.' HA very clever system, said the lieutenant, walking over to the table and examining the oil in the lamps Zllld picking up the best sup- plied, 'open it up, Davis, we've get to go down there and find the Cor- poral before its too late, a11d I'll tell him szzmething for acting with- out orders. Alright, said I, pushing the plate clear down and suddenly re- leasing it. The bookcase swung open and the lieutenant led the way with the lamp. YVe stepped from the living rorim into a stone lined corridor which ended in a stone stairway that went down to a similar passage- Illlllllllw 1 9 2 7 mlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Eighty-nine LA REVISTA way at a lower level. We had reached the top of the stairway when the click of the bookcase as it swung shut brought to us both the extent of our foolhardiness. Without a word the lieutenant and I went back to the door and began to search for at clue to the secret of opening the doo1' from that side of it, while the same question raced unanswered through our minds. How were we to get out of this secret passage wl1e11 the time came? Were there any other entrances to these under- ground corridors? Why had we entered without giving a thought to getting out again? H We were beginning to leel pretty discouraged when the whirring noise sudeuly commenced and Lieutenant Anderson cried, 'I have it.' He had found a. loose stone in the wall and, pulling it out, had dis- covered another steel plate as in the bookcase. He put his hand on it before the door could open and, aiter marking the stone so that we could find it again, he replaced it in the wall. With light hearts we turned back toithe errand on which we had started. After descending the stairs we stumbled along in the sty- gian blackness of the corridor, which the light of the lamp barely penetrated, for an interminable length of time and finally came to a dimly lighted room which proved to be the end of the passage. This underground chamber was very large and contained a table and sev- eral chairs of beautiful designs, also a sma.ll bed. Against the wall was a low stand piled with several books a11d papers. Just beyond the table was a sight that turned us sick. Crumpled in a heap, face down- ward on the hard stone floor lay O Brien's body. The lieutenant and I crossed the room and examined tl1e earthly remains of my erstwhile compa11io11. In one hand was clutched a revolver while in the other was a college text-book which we took, and I must say that I got some- what of a shock when I looked at the flyleaf. Un it were written in the bold, strong, handwriting of a young man, 'John Gaspard, Uni- versity of Cambridge! I stuck the book i11to my pocket and returned to examine the body of the corporal' The skull was crushed as by a heavy blow and then I knew why anybody had succeeded i11 killing: the agile O'Brien. He had been bludgeoned from behind. As this dawned 011 me, I became aware of a prickly sensation at my spine and, an irresistible desire to look behind me. I did so and I found myself looking squarely into two terrible, bloodshot eyes, eyes that held 11ot one speck of sanity or reason, eyes that stared into mine with an awful look of frenzy and hatred. I was looking into the eyes of the madman just as he lunged for my throat.' I don 't know how I did it, but I managed to duck and the thing sprawled on over me. However, before I could turn, I felt myelf clasp- ed by two strong arms and I was thrown to the floor. It was an un- equal fight from the first, and, though I struggled hard, I soon felt those awful fingers closing on my windpipe. My only chance lay in giving Lieutenant Anderson a chance to shoot, and it took consider- u llllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllll nnuululQ-b- 1 9 2 7 'Qwlllllllllllll Ninety mnum nu ululnllnlullullllgjjw nqqgmgnluluunu uunun able patience to lie still, waiting for the shot that must come very soon as I could not get any air at all. My senses were beginning to swim and colored lights floated in a mist before my eyes, my head ached and all was fast becoming black, when I heard, as at a great dis- tance, a muffled roar. The fingers relaxed their vice-like grip and I could breathe freely once IIIOIC. I heard two more shots, but it was quite a few minutes be-fore I could sit up and look around. Anderson, with a smoking revolver in his right hand, was stoop- ing over a prostrate form which was clothed in rags and filth. From his left hand dangled a gold watch and chain which he handed to me when I staggered over to him. Without a word, he again bent over the figure. Un the back of the watch was an inscription which read: 'To John Gaspard, from his father, Hendrick Gaspard, June 8, 18753 When I read this I again felt the peculiar shock that I had experienced when I had read the name on the college textbook, and I looked at the figure with a certain dread. I saw that the rags with which it was clothed still held evi- dence of 01100 having been a well tailored college outfit and the shoes which were worn through and very shabby, were of the present col- lege style of that time. I also saw, in spite of the rags, that the body was very muscular and wiry, though a little wasted by bad living con- ditions, as well as youthful. I next looked at the face and noticed that, in death, tl1e features had relaxed from their horrible grimace and that the look of fren- zied hatred had entirely vanished. If the short black beard had been shaven and the matted hair been dressed properly I believe that it would have been a handsome face, but what struck me at the time was the fact that there was a very marked resemblance between the deceased madman and O'Brien's and my host of the night before last, Mr. Hendrick Gaspard. I looked at Anderson and asked, knowing full well what the ans- wer would be, 'Well, lieutenant, what does this meanf' Mean cried Anderson, 'What else could it mean but that Hend- rick Gaspard was killed by his own son? And U'Brien, here, by the same person! Lt. Anderson hesitated and then went on, 'Uf course, this is only a suspicion but I feel sure that we can confirm it by sending a wire to Cambridge and asking the reasons for expelling young Gas- pard from college. But I don't see why a seemingly normal young man like this should become insane.' I can answer that,', said I, and I told him of what Mr. Gaspard had said of his father's death. tI have heard that insanity can be in- herited, especially in every other generatien,' I resumed, therefore, if young Gaspard's grandfather went insane, it is very probable that young Gaspard suffered from the same deseased condition, though why he should haunt his father's house, I can 't tell you.' I looked at the watch that Anderson had taken from the body and lllllllllllllw 1 9 2 7 mlIllllllIllllIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllll Ninety-one llllllllllvlllllIIIIIIIIIIIllIllllllllllllllllllllllllM LA Wllllllllllllll saw that it stopped, but Anderson's said a quarter of four so we cover- ed the dead 111011 with blankets from the bed and, taking the book and watch for 0VlLlQ11CG a11d i11te11di11g to come back later with sufficient 111021118 to carry away tl1e bodies, we started to leave the chamber. Just tl1Q1l l noticed something that l hadn't S6011 before. lt was a trap door l1a11gi11g ope11 i11 the stone ceili11g at the back of tl1e room. A short ladder, placed against the wall, lead up to it. By common consent we went to the ladder and climbed up through the trap-door i11to a small room that was absolutely bare save for a door and a small window. I peered out of the window and saw that the sun was just rising in the cast- All around the window weie beautiiul trees while a little farther away were shrubs and flowers. About fifty yards from the window stood the old mansion with tl1e bright rays of the morning sun light- i11g up its outcropping masonry and gables. Meanwhile Lt. Anderson had been fumbling with the door wl1icl1 was locked. He shot away tl1e lock and we left the room, coming out i11to a much larger one which housed many carriages and whose walls were lined with hai ness and ropes. One of tl1e carriage stalls was empty a11d the great doors swung open so we left the 'carriage shed and hur- ried over to the house. We found tl1e servants just leaving, though it was very early, a11d after locking the doors of tl1e mansion we rode with them as far as headquarters allll reported. We were ordered to take the force's ambulance alld bring the bodies over to headquarters. Before we went, l1owever, we sent a wire to Cambridge and re- ceived the a11swer that we had expected. It read: 'We expelled Mr. Gaspard frcni Cambridge and placed him i11 :1 SB.1llt211'lllIl1 because of eertai11 queer actions on l1is part which have convinced us of all u11bala11ced mentality though he was a very good student.

And thatls about all there is to the story, sighed Mr. Davis, except that Mr- Gaspard's will was read and tl1e two bodies were buried i11 the town grave-yard. The will left everything to the younger Gaspard. but as he was dead, tl1e property was confiscated by tl1e state and the house was left shut up all these years. Here Mr. Davis reached for his cane alld got up. It's getting late, l1e said, looking at his watch, and I have an appoi11tme11t in a few minutes.

Just a short time ago, when I went to Boston last, I purposely walked up Continental Street to see that old mansion again. I had set my heart upon it so you can imagine my disappointment when I found that the government had remodeled it into an up-to-date hostelry. I Went up the new cement walks to the massive front door and into the lobby which proved to be the old living room, bookcases and a.ll. Al- most the first thing that caught my eye was a great volume i11 the central bookcase. It was Poe's Fall of the House of Usher, and for some reason I couldn't keep from taking it out of the case. To my sur- prise nothing happened so I put my hand into the place where the book had been and I found the steel plate as Mr. Davis had said. I put my little finger under it and touched a slender steel spring wrapped around the tube. I pressed the plate but nothing happened. Then I noticed that the spring had crystalized with age and snapped in one place. Thus, as the old carriage shed had been taken down, those underground corridors' have bee11 made inaccessible to man fo1'ever. One glimpse at tl1e register showed me that it was a very popular hotel, but I could not help but ask myself how popular it would be- come if the guests learned of tl1e grim tragedy that had been enacted within its ancient walls just forty-two years ago.

It had as special rival, Sherman Hi, located some miles distant. There had entered Peru, at the beginning of the fall term, '1 'L two very unusual boys. Taken separately they were not strange, but together Cas they always werel it made a queer combination. The pair to whom I refer had been christened Randolph Millard and Percival Rayle but were known more commonly as Spare- irbs and Gravy. Spareribs was practically all his name denoted. He was very tall and thin and tipped tl1e scales at only a hundred and twenty pounds. Gravy, his sidekick, was the opposite, rather short and carried enough bulk for four healthy boys. These were the unrelated twins and were as inseparable as if blood! bonds existed If either was apart from the other something was de- cidedly missing, separate they were just boys, together they made up the most unusual but best loved pair in school. They assumed certain privileges that were never for an instant questioned. Rusty Spin, freshman coach of basketball, was talking very seriously to captain Richards. Pm afraid, he said, that unless I can switch the boys into de- cidedly better shape we are due for a good drubbing by Sherman. You sec the 'flu has several of our best men out. lt is too bad, assented captain Richards toeing the floor, as we are at present, we can 't hardly give the heavies any work out. lVell, rejoined tl1e coach, being class president you ought to be able to think of something. Yes, I'll bring it up at class meeting, a. hundred heads will do better than one ..... See here, growled Rusty, are you casting reflections? I guess I am- betwen you and the light , answered Richards seriously as he started for tl1e dressing room. In meeting, after the usual business, Richards turned to the sub- ject ot' basketball. He ripped them up one side and dow11 the other, end- ing in. a plea for all who had had any training in grade school to turn out. He got the names of about six hopefuls. Outside, under the pepper trees could be seen two silent figures, one looming up like the l1ull of a ship and tl1e other giving good imitation of its mast. Gravy, began thc lofty one, let's show some of these dead- heads what class spirit is. llct's go out for the frosh team, at least we can dance around as well as some. and don't forget we were on our grade school team and know a little about it.

The pair were deeply engrossed in the game with Sherman Fresh. Those who received silence in answer to their greeting held no ill feeling, for the pair were unusual and the whole school made con- cessions to them. The next afternoon the gym resounded with a peal of hearty laugh- ter. The cause was evidently somewhere near the entrance door. Turn- ing, there stood forth to view, the rotund figure of Gravy, clad in size forty-four trunks and a tight fitting jersey, at his side towered the lofty figure of Spareribs. Do I see a couple of fairies? demanded Rusty. 'tOh no, affably responded Spareribs, we're human and are reporting for duty. VVe'll show'em some real Frosh spirit, volunteered Gravy. VVelcome to our city, exclaimed Coach Rusty Spin, ttnow we will win. Who is here to tell me we won't win with two such good luck charms. The two stood silent, but all was forgotten as the heavies came tripping in, clad in their snappy purple and gold uniforms. Come on, yelled Flinche the head coach, you Fresh give the boys as much opposition as you can, they most certainly need it, notic- ing Gravy and Spareribs he added, here's the twins. Good. Spare, old boy, if you can out jump my regular center I'll give you his job- next year. The whistle blew and the fight was on. Poor Gravy saw his for- ward add steadily to his impressive number of points. Spareribs did better and made the regular center extend himself greatly to keep in the lead of the merry chase for the tip-off. Rusty Spin who had been so full of gloom, suddenly saw a gleam of hope as he watched the en- longated Spareribs elevate himself ceilingward. If this new center could do as well in the games, perhaps there was a chance after all. As his eye roamed the field it fell on Gravy: this was not such a pleasant subject. In about ten minutes Gravy was replaced, but the following subs were even worse. Tell you what, drawled Spareribs after the trials, we've got to think of something different. If we don't we're sunk. I understand the Sherman Frosh are pretty good. Yes, assented Gravy, downhearted because Rusty had just in- formed him l1e was to pick slivers out of the bench, at least the first half of the Sherman game, but what are you going to do U? Well, let's see, replied Spareribs, Now I've been thinking over some ideas. Come here and I'll expound. Several saw the two conspirators but passed them silently by, un- aware of what was going on. It was in January, on a. very cold night, that the Sherman game was scheduled. The Frosh were to play the curtain raiser, and natural- IllIlllllllllllllllIIllllllllllllllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllw 1 9 2 7 'MllIIlllllIIllIllIllIIllllIIllllllIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllll' Ninety-five nnnnunluugl LA gjggagulnlnul ly felt proud of themselves, as this was something the Sophs conldn't do. t i As it was their first big game, the Frosh felt very nervous and could scarcely hit the basket in their warming up practice. Spareribs got the thrill of his life when he heard his name in a yell. It spurred him on and he resolved to give the best he had: the students who knew him could read that determination on his face. Poor Gravy was blue because he was destined to warm tl1e bench. He was fast, eve11 forgetting his size, but once he had the ball he could never get rid of it. If he had been half as good getting rid of the ball as he was at getting it he would have been a wonder. He was a poor dribbler, and teamwork was Sanskrit as far as it concerned him. When he got the ball, and he did very often, the boys would suggest getting a preacher so l1e could marry it properly. Finally the whistle blew. The crowds hushed, pennants hung limp, and a general air of expectancy permeated the gym. At the start it looked like Peru had a one man team. Spareribs out- jumped the Sherman center by a foot, but the rest of the team was slow, the advantage was soon lost. Only three times in five minutes play was, tl1e ball under Peru 's goal. The pair of shots made at the backboard harmlessly glanced off. On the other hand, Sherman was having an off day as far as shoot- ing was concerned. The ball acted as if it were crazy. Instead of drop- ping through as it usually should, it would roll around the ring and then hop out, a very fortunate thing- for Peru. Such luck, however, could not save Peru all the time, and at half time Sherman led 12-3. Spareribs having snared one lo11g shot and tossed one free goal. In the dressing room Coach Rusty Spur ripped into them as only a coach can. He gave them no mercy. If they were at rest in the body, their minds were undergoing severe torture. Gravy alone, was happy, he was going to play the second half. S-pareribs pulled him aside. Listen, he said, we've got to win this game. You're fast now here 's the scheme ...... The whistle blew, cutting short, the interview. This made him mad, he felt a queer burning sensation deep down. inside, and when he- reach- ed the floor he acted as though possessed. By sheer grit and speed, he retrieved his own tip-off and dribbled the length ot' the floor to score. Four times he repeated. The crowd cheered, they thought they would see perhaps as an exciting game as the heavy. Finally Sherman got their team work reorganized and began to leave Peru sadly behind. The score read 20-11. During a time out Spare- ribs rushed over to Gravy. Listen, he hissed, can't you let go of the ball? 'When you get it, shut your eyes, if necessary, and sling it- heave it- throw it under our basket-get me? No matter if I am a mile away-get the habit. IlllllllllllllllllllIIIIIllIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllw 1 9 2 7 WIIllIllIIlllllllllllllllllllllll Ninety-six IllllllllIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllM QQEIIllIllIllIIIlllllnllllllllllllllllll Gravy nodded. He felt it was poor strategy, he saw no sense in throwing the ball where someone wasn't. That was Gravy's trouble. Ho didn 't have a penny's worth of imagination. The whistle tooted. The lanky Peru center gave the ball a lights ni11g push. Gravy missed it. The Sherman forward jumped ahead of l1in1 and dribbling to his goal scored unhindered. Spzuerihs glared. His fighting blood was up. Recovering the tip- off he retaliated in the same manner, scoring an easy basket. The crowd cheered. The next ball went to Gravy, and he did as he was told. Not holding the leather for a second, l1e threw it toward the basket. Spare- ribs bumped into an opponent and hadn't been able to connect. The crowd laughed, thinking it a very frgolish act. lVhen Sherman put tl1e ball into play, Spareribs jumped high and intercepted it. Before his feet touched the ground he caromed the ball through the basket. Rah, rah, rah, Spareribs,'t echoed the crowd. The yell sounded sweet to him. With tl1e score 22-15, too close for comfort, Sherman redoubleel their efforts. Several times Gravy smeared up possible scores by his effective guarding. Sometimes he made errors but yet Sherman didn't score. Once on a very poor play, on his part, Sherman scored and the crowd yelled- Take Gravy out. Then the fireworks started. Spareribs hadn't given up his strategy idea. He threw the ball to gravy and the fans moaned. Sherman laugh-- ed. Gravy handled the ball as if it were a 1-ed l1ot casting, and without looking, threw it over his shoulder toward the basket. This time it was picked out of the air by a flying center. It rattled through the hoop, clattering the iron rim and mapping the net like a whip. Sherman twenty-four, Peru seventeen. Come on Randolph tSpareribsJ, shouted the coa.cl1, let's see you wipe out that lead. Gravy was thrilled. He understood better 11ow. There was no time to lose. In the tip off the tall center smashed the ball into his waiting arms. Although his back was to tl1e goal, Gravy was wise. Without turning, he threw the ball over his head. Up, up it went almost strik- ing the gynr ceiling. The crowd hooted. VVhat was the fat chap trying to do, hit the light or kill flies? They stopped laughing when the ball dropped. They held their breath. Witli a powerful jump, Spareribs snared it before the Sher- man players guessed his intention. A quick toss, the ball kissed the backboard and angled through tl1e hoop. The fans jumped up. They felt something was going to happen and they didn't want to be caught asleep. S I The Sherman players became nervous at the sudden turn of af- fairs and were over anxious. Several of them tried to guard the slip- lmmlnmlllllllmllulllll lnlllllllla-0-w 1 9 2 7 -00-flllnulu numnulmnmuununmu lu Ninety-SGVGD llllllllllllllllllllllm LA mllllllllllllll ll l I I lllllllllllllllllllllllllllll pery center and with one result. They double-fouled him. The whis- tle blew and Peru 's center took the ball. Two more points, the crowd demanded- and he supplied the demand. On the second toss tl1e ball rolled around, poised, held a con- ference before it slowly and gently dropped into the basket. Sherman twenty-four, Peru twenty-one. Of course, Spareribs won the next jump. He smashed the ball to- ward his trusted lieutenant. The Sherman forward was ready and dived for it. Gravy was quick and they reached the ba.ll at the same instant. Bending double and using his compact strength Gravy shot the ball between his legs toward the goal. His lean and hungry friend was ready, and sprinting down the floor, when he saw his way blocked, bounced it to his forward who scored from the hole The visiting team was wise now and deserting Gravy they com- pletely covered Spareribs. Shoot, fool, shoot, resounded on all sides. Did he dare? He heard the Sherman forward running toward him. With a quick glance he launched the ball, in a beautiful arch, toward the basket. Wheii it scored, and was one of the best baskets of the game, the most surprised person on the floor was Gravy. Now was the time to hold, Gravy had put Peru in the lead twenty- five to twenty-four. On the next tip-off Gravy missed and his forward got the ball. The crowd groaned, it looked like a sure score and the time was almost up. Then Gravy did something. He made as pretty a pivot as a hundred and forty pounder and traveled the floor with lighting speed. The forward stopped to shoot but even as the ball left his hand, Gravy, who was a little taller, knocked it off its true course and the danger was averted. Soon the whistle ended the game. Spare- ribs and Gravy were happy as could be. Strategy wins, laughed Spareribs, Hnow we can enjoy the big game. T guess the Frosh are pretty good. ' At the top of his lungs Gravy replied, We'll put the Frosh on the map. llIllIllIIllIlllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIW 1 9 2 7 mllllllllllll Ninety-eight unllnuugji Qiluulnn LIKE A TI-IIEF IN THE NIGHT. T IVAS in tl1e dead of the night. I was sleeping peacefully when suddenly I awoke with a nervous thrill of terror going through me, I knew not why. Lctoking out of the window I saw no , the leafless trees tossing their branches in the moaning wind, if f making ghostly silhouettes aga.inst the sky. 2 f' 'T 3 l ? ' -' 00,0 'tty l 1, Suddenly I realized that I was alone-dreadfully alone. All my bravery that I had posessed at eight o'clock t.hat evening had fled. I remembered how I had laughed at my fat.her's hesitation at leaving me alone in the house with only the new Swedish maid for protection. I had told him that I was seventeen and a child no longer, that I should really enjoy being alone for a while, and that it was his duty to go to the lodge installation- And now-here it was midnight in th.e ghostly, old ancestral home int.o which we had moved for the summer. My courage had flown. I lay stiff and stark, staring into tl1e abyss of blackness around my bed, the servants' quarters and Velma, the Swedish maid, seeming miles away. It seemed hours that I lay there when suddenly I heard the kitchen door that opened into the hall downstairs creak loudly. My room was at the head of the stairs, and the door having apparently been blown open during the night. I heard with surprising clearness. A man's voiced pierced the darkness with, No, you get it, Velma. I darenlt go in. It no ban risky, replied Velma's bland voice. No one ban here oxcept Miss Elizabeth. ' No, I'll not go in insisted the voice. All right I heard Velmafs voice replyg and I could hear her slippered feet pad-pad away to her room. I was terrified. So Velma, of all stupid-loo-king, good-natured, stolid people had turned thief. She had filched articles during the day and was giving them to her accomplice to dispose of. My mind leaped to the conclusion with lightining speed. What was I to do? Oh, what could I do? It was certain that if I were to do anything I must act at once. ' ' i I I Suddenly I tho't of my father's pistol, a relic from the VVorld War. I remembered seeing it in his room on the dresser when I was arranging some flowers that day. He had taken it out to show to a friend and had neglected to put it back- Witliout stopping to consider the rashness of mfy action I slipped quickly out of bed, donned a wrapper and slippers, and stole into my father's room. There on the dresser the pistol lay, faintly gleaming ll Iillllllllllll Illlllllllllw 1 9 2 7 ml!!llIlllIllIllllllllllllldlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Ninety-nine IIIIIIIIIIIIIM LA mllllllllllllllll mum mmm umm in tl1e pale light of the waning moon. I nervously gripped it and crept out to the head of tl1e stairs. I paused a moment to listen. I could hear the heavy footsteps of the man in the kitchen pacing up and down, and I wondered at his audacity. Then I heard the sound of Velma's footsteps cz1-ining back to the kitchen, and the door open and close as she entered. Now was my chance while they were both together. VVithout stop- ping to consider what I should do when I arrived, I swiftly stole down the stairs to the kitchen door. Quickly opening the door, I darted into the room. Velma andthe strange man were standing in front of the stove with their backs turned towards me. I pointed my pistol at them and said Hands up , in a. voice that surprised me with its commanding force. The two turned from the stove with looks of startled wonder on their faces. Slowly their hands reached toward the ceiling, their jaws dropping lower as they regarded me. But, Miss Elizabeth, began Vlelma guiltily, after a moment of silence during which n1y courage had fast begun to ebb- IVhat do you . . . I 'll Not ai word said I, firmly. You will only commit yourself farther. ' ' Suddenly I was seized by an inspiration' Still pointing tl1e pistol at the pair, with my other hand I indicated the door of the dark, old window-less broom closet. Velma, you and your accomplice will go open the door of that broom closet and enter at once, I commanded. But, Miss Elizabeth, began Velma pleadinglvg but at a menac- ing gesture of my pistol she turned and half pushed, half dragged her trembling friend toward the closet. When they were well in I followed and locked the door. Heaving a sigh of relief I dropped trembling into chair, but my scattered nerves to-ld me that there was yet much to be done. My gaze rested on the telephone. Ah, I could phone the police. I hurriedly gave the number and. after what seemed hours of waiting, I heard the reassuring voice of the Chief of Police. I told him tl1e cir- cumstances and he promised to send two deputies at once. I returned to mv chair and pointing my pistol at the door of the broom closet, I listened carefully to hear if there were any signs of rebellion. Everything was ouiet. Gradually I came to feel myself the mistress of the situation. As I glanced around the room with a non- ehalant gave. a long box on the table a.ttracted mv attention. Ah. it was infallible evidence against the plotters- No doubt it contained some of the valuable family heirlooms or some of my own personal trinkets I must wait and let the police open it. ' When the two policemen arrived I told them of tl1e occurrences with as much poise as one could be expected to possess after such llllllllllllllllllIlllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllmfw 1 9 2 7 '9'mllll'll l'l One hundred lInunuIInuuuuunmuuuuumullllllllullqgguxi gjgmjnnuuul a nerve-racking experience, gave them the key to the broom closet, and indicated the box on the table. They decided to examine the evidence first, and we anxiously gathered around as one of them cut the string that bound it. My complacency and self-satisfaction were at their height as the policeman opened the box, when . . . oh, imagine my chagrin, morti- fication and injured pride- Une ma.n brought forth a hand-knitted scarf, obviously Velma's handiwork, while the other read on a card that dropped from the folds of the scarf, Happy Birthday and Best NVishes to Ole from Velma. B-road grins illuminated the faces of both policemen. I nodded, too embarrassed to speak. Well, if that's the case, I guess we'll let the culprits speak for them- selves, and he opened the door to the broom closet. The rest of the events are very jumbled and hazy in my mind. All I remember is that I was very embarrassed, Velma very indignant, her friend Ole apologetic, and the policemen pla.inly entertained. The o11e thing I do remember, however, is one of the policemen's parting remarks to me. Well, Miss, I'll tell the Chief about your detective ability. Perhaps he'll give you a place on the force. Good night. Harriet Pidduck- '28 THE PLAYLET OF THE, SHADOWS The wind howled in angry gusts around the old weatherbeaten house which had withstood so stolidly the storms of its fifty years. Great drops of rain fell like diamonds upon the country side, and beat on the old 'roof' the tattoo of a thousand merrily tapping fingers. Although it was well past midnight the owner of the house still sat in his great leather easy-chair before the fire. The flames leaped up the chimney, but the heavily wrapped old man seemed to enjoy none of their golden warmth. His face was cruel and cold, his hands yel- lowed and wrinkled, were cold to, his eyes seemed like icy steel, age had frozen him-had frozen his power of feeling to such an extent that it was impossible for him to smile and loneliness too had done its share. The old man's mind was far away from the silent room and from the storm outside. A play enacted by shadows, with memory for its stage manager was passing before his staring eyes. He saw again the men he had once ruthlessly ruined, making to him a last desperate plea for mercy, and he saw them as finding him cold and iron-hearted, they assured him with warm vocabulary that some day somewhere, somehow he would pay. And there he saw himself, younger, but if pos- sible more cruel tha.n now, holding in one hand the sceptre of power upon his head the laurel wreath of millions laugh in those men's faces as he ordered them out and returned to his desk to continue his work of destruction. llllllllllllllm-Ov' 1 9 2 7 --O-mlnulullulnllululmnllulllulllllllluluul One hundred one lllllll IIllllIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllM mlIllIIllllIllIIIIllIllIllIllIllllllllllllllllllilllll He reflected grimly that he was paying now, just as they had pro- phesied that he would pay, with illness and loneliness, and yes, with a faint though insistent regret. No one on the whole wide earth felt for him aught tha11 l1ate or indifference. His wife had died despising him, his children hated him because he kept the strings that bound the money bags closed hard and tight, those dependent on him served l1in1 only through sheer necessity. To the public i11 general his name was as a red flag is to a bull. ' They roared against him angry but impotent before his all-conquering wealth. Ulf I had my life to live over again, he siged, brushing away through sheer will-power the phantasms of memory that haunted him, lf I had 1ny life to live over again it would be different, I think-yes, I know it would be different. But now it is too late. It is never too late. said a voice from the shadows. The old man started up from his chair. A woman was slowly ad- vancing, drenched and shivering with cold. She carried a sleeping baby in her arms. It is not for me but for the little one that I ask this of you, she said, pride and humility fighting for the mastery in her voice. What do you want? he snapped, una.ble to overcome the cruel habits of years. Food and shelter just for this one night. she replied. How did you get in? Who asked you here? Don't you know where you are, or who I am? Who are you? he fired the questions at her in a volley, l1is cracked voice actually indignant. Oh, she moaned, You aren't angry with me? I came through a basement window. No one asked me here, and I don't know who you are. I'n1 looking for work. Oh, I promise you some day I'll pay you back whatever you give me tonight. He stared at her curiously. Hardship had withered whatever beauty s-he may have had, but her great, dark eyes flashing proudly, even while she begged for his aid. The words she had just uttered came back to him: I don't know who you are. Unreasonably they filled him with pleasure. If she did- n't know who he was she had every reason to suppose that he was 21. good and admirable man. At last, at last he would be able to taste what it meant to do one kind and charitable act. After a life spent in Wreck- ing, for once he too would try to build. His grey eyes glistened. He rang a bell at his side. A sleepy valet entered the room. The look he gave tl1e master told only too well the man's feeling for the other. Take this lady, ordered the old man, and give her the best there is in the house. Show her up to the warmest room, in short., do anything she asks. . The valet stopped in his tracks. His eyes opened wide 'and he ac- llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllm'0l 1 9 2 7 'UQ-gllllllllllll One hundred two IllllIIllllllllllIllIllIllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllIM MIllIllIllIllllulIllIllIllIllllllllllllllllllllllllll tually gasped with surprise. He stumbled a little, and fear showed on his face also, but he was too perfectly trained to exhibit more than momentary astonishment. The woman turned to follow him. She left her benefactor silently unable to speak her gratitude, but her smile filled him with a pleasure a thousand times the greater because heretofore unknown. The next morning his youngest son came to visit him. The old man smiled sardonically. As soon as he had heard the young spend-thrift's step in the hall, he ha.d guessed what he wanted. After solicitously inquiring about the parental health the young man began: . v I I 1 ,MELA 'CI say, Dad, could I touch you for just a thousand today? As a little loan you understand. I'm pretty well cleaned out, and .... The millionaire had never been more cruel to anyone than to his own children. Their mutual hatred was almost unnatural. No, he snapped, you can't touch me for a red cent. No little loan to it. You can toddle back to where you came from, and stay there. Funny you never come here unless it is to touch me for a thousand or so, now isn't is? Go on, go on. I don 't want you here. All right, roared his son, already angered to the breaking point by many such insults and refusals, I'll go. But before I do, I'll tell you that I was never so ashamed of a.nyone as I am of my own father. The meanest crook is better than you. I respect a murderer more. Never in your life have you done a charitable deed. I wonder I ever asked you for a cent. I Wouldn't touch your money now-your stained, taint- ed gold. It would burn me. You wrecker of homes . . you fiend . .beast . . . you . . . you. He choked and rushed from the place. He ha.d hardly left when the woman of the previous night entered the room. She was rested, refreshed, smiling. I must thank you,,' she said, for now I am going away. Oh, you are a kind, good man. I am sure that thousands daily bless you-you are generosity itself. I cannot imagine you hurting anyone -oh, you Good Samaritan. Why are there not more like you on earth? And now goodbye. I will remember you always . . . always. Her smile was a benediction Then she trailed out of the room while he stared after her. The echo of her words filled his soul for hours mingling with those his son had spoken. The final curtain was about to be drawn on that playlet of the shadows. The old man laughed once, bitterly, and yet there was a sob in that laugh too, and a thousand vain regrets. Then slowly the grey head sank low. There was about the man now only a look of inexpress- ible weariness. The fire flickered and died down. And those grim shadows behind the veil just drawn smiled, and the stage manager, Memory, laughed at the bitter, bitter irony of it all.

Its popularity has been equalled by no other in Ventura High School. lVith a good begiiniing' and new lnenibers at 'the first of the year, the Glee Club has taken its place in the fore-- ground. The Glee Club Concert, given March 25. 1927, called forth much praise for the Girls' Glee Club, landing' theni for their excellent work. The Girls' Sextette is a very popular group, having become the chief source of entertainment for the clubs of Ventura. As singers the girls in the Glee Club are unequalled, and as dancers they likewise seein unexcelled. A new feature this year was a Spanish scene given at the concert. Such a colorful bit of Spain has never before been portrayed so vividly as by our ow11 1Xll10l'l0?l1l students. lt will be long reinenlbered by those who viewed it, as well as by those who participated in it. Miss liong, our instructoress, is responsible for all the accom- plishments a11d all the honors the Glee Club received. The organization has not only been a source of entertainment for various civic gIElill0l'll1g'S, but all the members also feel that they have acconiplished much under her expert instruction.

'I BOYS' GLEE CLUB 'AA The Boys' Clee Club of '26 and '27iis one of rmeeeptioiially good qualities i11 spite of the fact that the terrors are in the niinority. The club has been very active this school term in two ways, first in publie appearances and second ill the learning of such a large reper- toire. The first appearance of the club was at the first meeting' of the Congress of Parents and Teachers. One week following it appeared at. the Business and Professional lVCI'HlC11,S elub. Frorn that time on it devoted its time to preparing for the concert presented by the lioys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, which, as is well known, was a complete sue-- cess and was the outstanding achievement of the Glee Clubs for the year. Second in importance to the concert alone was the Eisteddfogl. The boys' Glee Club succeeded in winning' first place and the silver cup, over their old rivals- froni Santa Paula. They received very high praise from the judges, especially from Charles Wakefield Cadiuan. The Southern California finals have not been held as lla Revista goes to press but we are sure that if the Boys' Crlee Club enters, they will prove a credit to Ventura High. The Boys' Glee Club feels that it has passed a very suceessful year and wishes to here express their appreciation to Miss Long for her wonderful direction.

It was the first activity ot its kind in this High School and wa.s a complete success. B--gn purpose o ie ya 3 was o arouse sc ioo spirl or TllQ i' ftl R-ll' '-'t l l 'tf the Football game in Oxnard the following day, and it also served as an informal dedication of the place where our Stadium is to be. A mammoth fire that lit up the sky and surrounding country, and a volley of school yells started out the evening- By the bright light of the fire a picture was taken, then Adrian Palmquist, master of cere- monies, called upon Mr. Doty, who told of past achievemnets of Ven- tura High Students and of our expectations of the future. Mr. Gould, President of the Board of Trustees, was the next speaker, then Coach Cain introduced the Pirates, Une by one they were greeted by :1 yell, and the same enthusiasm was shown when Coach Prescott, Carl Bates and William Cagnacei spoke on the approaching game. Throughout the evening a remarkable school spirit was shown and when a loud, resounding Csky completed the program, many were loath to leave and stayed until the fire had burned itself out. Milo Thomas and Adrian Palmquist, yell leaders, aroused the enthu- siasm of the rooters and brought back the famous old school spirit of Ventura Hi, which had so long been dead. Agriculture Club Party The Ag Club party held Vilednesday evening, December 8, in the Cafeteria was an unusual and interesting event. The members were requested to come dressed as farmers and farmerettes and a typically rural entertainment was carried out. It was' Fun and Frolic with the Farmers from start to finish. A well presented program of games and contests, followed by refreshments, furnished an evening of enjoy- ment. Their reputation of being a lively club seemed to be fully justified. Gi. A. A, PARTY Members of the Girls Athletic Association were hostesses at a dinner and kid party Friday evening, December 18. Each member was allowed the privilege of inviting a girl as her guest and all were to come dressed as children. A delicious dinner was served in the Cafe- teria after which emblems were presented to members having earned 100 points in the Association. Dancing in the Gymnasium led by a Grand March comprised the evening's entertainment. A prize was presented to Mary Anorga for the most original costume and much to tl1e children 'sw delight Santa Claus paid them a visit leaving a gift for each one. A spirit of Christmas Cheer prevailed leaving every- one a happy thought with which to begin the holidays. llllllllllllll IHH llllllllllllm-Ol' 1 9 2 7 MQ-6.IIIIIIIIIllIIIIIlIIIIIIllIllIllIllIllllllllllllllllllllll One hundred fifteen ununuml LA mllllllllllll Freshman Reception The Freshman Reception was truly a success this' year, for the little ones in whose honer it was given, l1ad a very enjoyable time. As the reception was given in March, two Freshman classes, A and B, shared in the honors. The Seniors, realizing that the party was for the Freshmen, put forth all efforts to give them a good time. Old-fashioned dances, in- cluding the Virginia Reel and a Paul Jrnes, were danced during the first part of the evening. Mr. Alex Eaten and Mr. Nick Hearne fur- nished the music for these dances. while Mr. Petit, Mr. Cain and Miss Boyd did the calling and necefsary managing Then followed several hours of ballroom dancing during which time the Freshmen were made to dance and feel at home by many ingenious methods. Mil-lred Clark. as chairman of the punch committee, marshalled her forces and produced many gallons of delicious' punch, the entirety of which was enjoyed. She was helped by Estelle Roberts and Janice Pidduck. ' Bird Blowers. with the help of Charles T,owe, Paul Cassidy and Rachel Johnson managed the decorating and the gym, bedeeked with yellow aeaeia and festooned with crepe- paper streamers, never was more attractive. THE G-. A. A.. PRQOGRESSIVE PARTY Probably the jolliest party of the vear was the Girls Athletic Association progressive dinner. given February 13. The members of this association are a congenial group of girls who are alwavs ' out for a good time' and this affair was truly a 'howling success' from begin- ning to end. The meeting place was at Miss Bovd's. on Santa Ynea Street. Here the girls. about thirtv in number. gathered at five o 'clock for the first course of the dinner which was soup. Aeclaiming it a fine start. they next descended upon the Bowker home. Here a salad with delectable cookies was served to them. After eating this. all the girls climbed into a large transportation truck. ob- tained through the kindness of John Bowker, and journeyed to Pid- duck 's house. The main course was served here and after having eaten and spent some time in singing and otherwise entertaining themselves, the girls boarded the truck to go to the Satieov Country-Club House, where the the remainder ot' the evening was to be spent. Mrs. Schneider. alwavs a friend ot' the girls. had secured the club house and invited a number of the 'athletieallv inclined' bovs to ioin the girls and spend the evening in dancing' and eards. The girls arrived about nine o'clock and found not only dancing partners, but. also tl1e final course of their dinner. uulnmlluluuInIllmlIuIllnlmmnlllullllllm:Im-0'-ff 1 9 2 7 mll ' One hundred sixteen 2' llllllllllllgjuiu gjganulunu A DEDICATION A social event of importance that will long be remembered by everyone was the dedication of the new High School. Cn Friday night, Feb. 25, the formal dedication took place before an audience which filled the spacious IIQNV Auditorimu and responded with hearty ap- plause to tl1e entertainment offered. The program was divided into two parts. The first was opened by a double number by the High School Glee Clubs, after which Rev- erend Trotter offered the Invocation. Mr. Thos. Gould, Jr., president of the Board, in the opening re- marks spoke of the part the new building would have in tl1e social life of both citizens and students a11d a response was made by Mr. John Austin, the architect. VN ith his assurance we know tl1e school to be one of the best in California. Response to the presentation of the new school by Mr. Gould, in behalf of the board, was made by Mr. Charles Rea, Mayor of Ventura, representative of the City, Carl Bates, Student Body representative, and Loyce Gragg, Junior College representative. They all expressed their gratitude to the Board in View of what this gift will mean to 11ot only themselves, but to all citizens and future High School students as well. Concluding the first half of the program, Miss Janice Pidduck played two piano solos in the way of a. true artist. Mr. Geoffrey Morgan, speaker of the evening, was then introduced by Mr. Gould. Mr. Morgan is a graduate of Stanford, a teacher and professional lecturer, and his talk on Some Aims of Educationn was especially interesting. The five things a school should aim to give its pupils to carry through life, character, a sound body, a good education, the ability to earn a living, and the ability to spend leisure time rightly, were outlined and presented in a very fascinating way. Following this, Adolph Tandler's Little Symphony Orchestra from Los Angeles presented a program of eleven numbers. The selections were mainly well known classics and were rendered in the most attractive and entrancing manner, music of the best quai- ity presented in a most delightful way, all the more enjoyed because of the infrequent appearance of such an orchestra in this city. This poem, written by Mary Ferro, expresses our feelings and sentiments: A VOTE OF THANKS. To you all gathered here today Do we a vote of thanks extend, For we have looked into each heart, And in each heart have found a friend. ..,,.,,.,,,l.g3-g-- 1 9 2 7 -1-QI:nllumunnnnunnnunununuunnnumumunmnmu One hundired-seventeen I uulllllnuml jfellulllllllull This is for us a day of days, As citizens, also for you, For we have all together seen What was once old, now young and new. Years past, the ancient shone with youth, On its head wisdom laurel-crowned, And learning, loyalty and truth Their throne unshakeable have found. The torch that lit the path of time Shines now on changes grand and great. The 11ew, just born we hope to make The pride of county, town and state. Today we honor side by side The future a11d the hallowed past, And pledge to all your gift implies Our loyalty a11d faith steadfast. -Mary Ferro. DEDICATORY ASSEMBLY On Thursday, March 3, an assembly was held for the student dedi- cation of the 11ew Auditorium. The program was sponsored by the Pep Club with Miss Bird Blowers in charge. Following a selection by the High School Orchestra, Mr. 'Wise welcomed the students and then gave some advice upon the, stan- dard of conduct they should observe in their new building. Two very appropriate speeches were made by Lynn Rains .-md Wanda Hayden and the Girls Sextette sang two songs. Mary Ferro gave her reading, composed for the dedication, followed by a very clever impersonation by Miss Bird Blowers of Professor Bangthekey- ski in which she told a most entertaining story with music. Ethel Marsters played two pia11o solos and three scenes from The Charm School were presented. During the first scene Miss Gertrude Cor- coran did a charming toe-dance. GLEE CLUB PARTY One of the most formal parties of the year was the o11e given by the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs at the Saticoy Country Club. Only Glee Club members, a few guests, and all who helped with the pro- ducing of the Concert were allowed to attend. Dancing' lasted from nine until twelve, with music by Howard Gabbert, John Rains, Gabe Solari, and John McCollim. Those who did not care for dancing en- joyed card games in the lobby and the whole scene was one of gaiety and fun. Punch and cake were served and all seemed to be well repaid for their work on the Concert by the wonderful time they were shown. nlIuIlIunIlnlullInlunnlnlnIllnInullnllnnlnlnlnllulQ-O- 1 9 2 7 -Q-Qunnnuu uuium One hundred-eighteen .
