is qt MIAN ZAN llTA STAFF Sf HE Old Order Changeth, Yielding Place to the New. Q Growth and progress, as expressed in our quotation cfmdl from Tennyson's Idylls of the days of King Arthur, the 1929 Manzanita staff desire to record in this year's annual. They have striven to present the best and most memorable of the school's activities in the newest way possible. To give the book unity and to lend it dignity they have taken for their theme the ideals of chivalry-more especially the nineteenth century interpretation of knighthood ideals found in The Idylls of the King , an epic read by every student in his third year English. So efficient, fore-sighted, and responsible have the staff been that for the second time the advisor's proportion of labor has been a meager two percent of the whole. Not only in the written portion of the book, but in the specifications, plans, arrangements, ideas, business corres- pondence, and financial management, her only duties have been to ap- prove and-very infrequently-to disapprove. The fact that outside circumstances have caused one position on our staff to be filled by three different students and that yet with each student the work was inaug- urated, carried out, and completed without any instructions from the advisor seems proof that the efficiency and executive ability of the staff is not limited to them alone, but is characteristic of our school as a whole. Mae Lord. The Manzanita is not the work of the staff alone, though every member enthusiastically did his best-rather it is the result of the un- tiring efforts to serve of the whole school and of people outside the school. ' In order to bring the names of our advertisers before the students, the ad staff presented a program in assembly, in which they gave a skit, and also posted the names of advertisers in the assembly hall. Besides the advertisers, we were helped by many groups in the school. The clubs paid for their own pictures, besides that, they bought pictures to help us earn money. Several students gave their time to write poems for the activities section in an effort to make these Writeups more clever and interesting than before. Some sold subscriptionsg others took snaps and wrote jokes. To all these students is due the thanks of the staff and student body. We are especially grateful to Rev. Bayard H. Jones for the pic- tures of the school, and to our librarian, Miss Fuller, for all her patience and kindness when we needed help. Since we have tried to carry out a King Arthur theme, we have placed a line at the bottom of each page to bring out the ideals of knight- hood. It is the hope of the staff that these thoughts may find their way into the hearts and minds of the readers: and that after the book has been read and re-read, these truths may furnish food for thought and may be an incentive for each student to live up to the ideals of knight- hood' The Editor. 481, .xvflfllflljf ffl'l'4if full. 1' f1f'l1u'-iw! -ruillmzzf FIIfflII.l'ltl.YlIl.--EllIl'I'.YlI1

-3 Tll-TE STUDENT BODYYS ROUND TABLE HE Knightly Student Body Table Round doth consist of Knights and Maidens of pure hearts. Their deeds have one aim: the con- Q M93 quest of leading all the other Knights and Maidens to the main- QAU tenance of the true and loyal spirit toward the good old W. U. H. S. The leader of this band is our royal Knight, Carl Biddle. In addi- tion to the chairmanship, he turned his hand to the slaughter of the heathen hordes of other schools in the battles of football and basketball. Lady Mary Ben Simpson, with her smile and helping hand, did help to lighten the burdens of the President Knight, while Lady Beth Freiermuth did faithfully enscroll upon the paper royal, with quill and pen, the pro- cedures of our knightly band. For the region of worry and tinkling coins did the gods of money give us Sir Tony Franich. Often in assem- bly he reminded us of money owed, and urged the quality of promptness. He did keep our money right and well, and did present us with a goodly sum, as he closed his books, with credit to his name. Next upon this royal list comes fair maiden Louise Hudson. Her very sweet and loving self did draw from out our royal band what she did need to make this book, to help us always to retain the memories of the year of '28 and '29. She is, we can all conclude, the editor of our Manzanita. Sir Daniel Ready -and here again we have a knight of principle and tact, who did give his might and main to help carry this book through-controlled expen- dituresg for as we know, he was the Business Manager of the Manzanita staff. Knight Gavin Taylor was the hardiest of all, he did manage the athletic tournaments of our mighty band, purchased new armor for the warriors, and did arrange the lists for each succeeding fray. Maiden Mary Crosetti did rule over the maidens' gentler jousts, and instilled into their hearts a striving spirit. The Knight Jim Nielsen was our knights' and maidens' reporter. He wrote of famous Wildcat deeds, and left us with records of great note. Last on this long list is Knight Halley Cox, who helped our royal band to unite under our Wildcat, and cheer for the teams we all loved so well. 4101- You Ztwfnlff' mf! ffl!-IIA' ffllbx' flnfx' .YIIIKIH if' -you ,wln'.n'!f r.'i'l'u Ifnnzf.-.llfzrllmzillfl
