�SAN EXPRESSION of ou r
deep gratitude for his faithful and sincere effort in our behalf, we dedicate El Espiritu de'30toMr. Williams. Wood.
Foreword
N endeavoring to ,nake this publi J. cation of "El Espiritu" as true and
as fine a record of the spirit of 1930 as possible, the staff has worked hard to bring together between two covers pictures, stories and humor, and create an "El Espiritu de '30" of which we feel proud. We have tried by the use of the Old English theme to give the publication a certain dignity and yet by the use of pictures, jokes and a fine literary section to make it one of the snappiest annuals which Claremont High has J,ublished. SincNely hoping that you will enjoy it for many years, we present "El F�pirilll de 1930." -EDITOR.

PRINCIPACS MESSAGE
-;DERMIT m<' to express deep appre .1·-ciation to editors, advisors, and all co-workers for the energ')' and enthusiasm they have devoted to this ')'Car's ·'El Esp-iritu." Each ')'ear we greet the new annual with great ex citement and anticipation. Ma')' the 1930 "El Espiritu" fulfill the fondest expectations of ever')'one. l\lew classes come, spend a few years in high school, and pass on. One wonders what is to happen to them after graduation. Juniors are anxi ously waiting to fill the coveted places left b')' outgoing seniors. Again, one wonders if the')' will surpass those who have preceded them. In fLtture years we shall scan the pages of our .1930 yearbook to see how well the challenges of today have been met b)' the students of Claremont fl igh School. I hope the records then will show that each student has achieved the happiness and success which should follow _Irom courageous and determined effort toward worthy goals. Sincerel')', EARL THOMPSON, Principal.

WJTH THE OPENING of school in September, 1929, Lhe Executive Commillee attempted to organize the Student Body aciivitie., and Lo set forth the aims for the coming year. New ideas were presented a1!d new plans formulated. Although only a few of the plans have materialized we trus_t that we have achieved something in our social life a:s well as in athletics, dramatics, and fchool organization, for through it all we have aimed Lo create a greater loyalty. Besides our usual dramatic and musical pr�,iccts the Studenl Body Dinner and the Thanksgiving Drive f'or the community welfare were out standing successes. We wish to express our appreciation for the gifts and the courtesies that we have received during the year. We are e;;pccially grateful for the new athletic field, and are delighted with the new pictures on our walls. Through the entire year there has been a fine school :spirit and hearty cooper ation between Faculty and Student Body. We are not unmindful of the un tiring efforts of the instructors in our behalf and sincerely thank them for it.

As THE END of the senior year approaches, the time comes when we must Lid farewell to the school that has been the scene of our work and play for :;ix years. Although we do not now fully appreciate the values that these six years have given us, as we go on Lo college or into business, we shall realize their true worth, that il has ope11cd the gates to greater opportunity and success.
In looking back over the history of �� ·we find that it has been well represented since the freshman year in athletics, dramatics and music and has shown much enthusiasm and spirit in all the school activities. This year our greatest interest is centered in graduation. As the speaker al the graduation exercises we are fortunate in having Mr. Geoffrey Morgan, who is the author of "The Belle of Bagdad," the operella which was so suc cessfully given at the High School this year. Our Snow Day at Big Pines will long Le remembered as a most delight ful event. Leaving Claremont early i11 the morning ·we drove in cars Lo the Big Pines resort where we spent an enjoyable day in the snow-hiking, tobog ganing and holding snow fights with the Juniors who had joined us there. •,
And now as we arc about to leave the High School, we should like to say to the oncoming Seniors that although we have made our mistakes and met difficult problems, we hope that they will profit by our struggles and uphold the standards of the school as we have tried "to uphold them.
The one thing we regret as we graduate and set forth into the world is that we are leaving High School, leaving the best period of our life, one filled with delightful associations and interesting work and that we, the Seniors, are unable to express the gratitude we feel we owe to Claremom High School and to the teachers who with their constant help and encourage ment have helped us in our difficulties and pleasures.

JuNtOR year is the "best of all possible years" we are all agreeJ. Perhaps it is because so many changes occul' at this time. AL all events this year has been filled to the brim with new and happy interests. As a resu lL of much conspiracy and secrecy, we sprang our black and white sweaters shortly after school opened this year, first by arriving at school early in the morning on and in cars decorated Lo match their black and white-clad occu pants, and later appearing in a dance and song in assembly. J mmediately after our Christmas vacation the Seniors and Juniors man aged by accident to choose the same day and place, not to mention the same liour of' d�parLure, for their semester snow party. So the Lwo classes joined for their fun at Big Pines and met in a riotous snow fight which was a huge success since neither came out winner. Then Lo add further interest to our year, during the spring we secured our class rings of which we are very proud. One advantage in being a Junior is that you have not arrived al the stage where birthdays and ages are kept secret, so two of our members, Willie Ruth Ross and Roy Huddleston, made the whole class glad they had been born by impromptu celebrations of their natal days. Our Junior festiv ities ended with a beach party which is always enjoyed. And of course we have tried to mix a little work with all our fun, if sports and dramatics can be classed as work. In the first semester the Student Body presented "Lilies of the Field," and our class \\'HS so lucky as to have a large representation in this produc tion. Then in March our annual Operetta was given and our class claimed several of the leads as well as a large share of the chorus positions. To be a Junior means one must furnish a large representation Lo sup port the honor of one\ school 011 the field and we have succeeded fairly well in all the major sports for boys, while the girls have worked hard in the G. A. A. Jn �cholarship wr are glad Lo find that we still hold our record of last year for Honor Society membership. For the success of thi� year we owe a large debt of gratitude Lo our class advisors, Mrs. "'\};Ti}liams and Mr. Arrington and the other members of the faculty \\ho have always g:vcn willi:1g help to our class.

Our share in athletics has been conspicuous. We have ·had several leuer men in both heavyweight and lightweight football. We also participaled in basketball, and held the captainship of one of the mo.st successful lea ms. We were represented in baseball and on the track team. Not only the boys, hut the girls also, took part in athletics, playing basketball, volleyhall, hockey and baseball whenever they found oppor tunity, and supporting the G. A. A. with good spirit. There were two social events of particular interest lo the class ihis year. One was the snow day of the first semester and the second was the picnic during the latter part of the school year. The snow day, which was enjoyed hy the entire class, was spent al Lake Arrowhead on the first of February. The picnic during the last of May at Balboa �vas equally enjoyed by all who went. We are glad to have the privilege of attending the dances given by the mothers once a month at the Woman's Club House for the Senior High School students. A sophomore won the oratorical contest and a great many of us took part in the operetta for this year, as members of the chorus. The glee club and orchestra each contained a number of the sophomore class, wl10 share a promising future in music, and we were represented on the Annual Staff in the person of Sales Manager. Though our representation in the Honor Society was not very large this year, we hope to claim more members in the future. We were very sorry not to see some of our old friends of previous years with us again, hut we gladly welcome the new members who have joined us this year. We arc a small class, hut we have tried to do our part and to help bring to success any project that the school attempted. To Mr. Ewington and Miss Hauan, as our friends and advisors, we owe a great deal of gratitude for their unfailing kindness throughout the year. Page Twenty

INDEXED among the "C's" under the title "Junior High School" was Father Time's account of the progress and success of Claremont Junior High. ·'In late October the Junior High School Student Body party celebrated, with many a ghastly story and sinister shadow , the ancient festival of Hallowe·en. ·'Early in �ovemher a Junior High School Assembly of young talent in songs, music and plays was enjoyed. ":\linth Grade boys have participated in lightweight football, aided "the B and C weight basketball Learns and placed well in lightweight track. "Ninth G ra de girls constitute an important part of the G. A. A. hockey and basketball Learns. "The Junior High School has loyally attended home games and a smalkr percentage have �upported out-of-town meets. "The Ninth G rade Girls' Chorus has appeared several times during as:-;c111liiy period , and has, ai iimes, given promise of some musical talent. "The Junior Orche..;Lra of twenty-one instruments is produced from the Sen·nth and Eighth Grades and is doing nobly under the careful direction of Mrs. Minnie M. Howe. This orchestra consists of: twelve violins , two clarinets, a flute. a cello, a viola, a bass viol , an F horn, a drum, and piano, and has exhibited its talent on several occasions. "Three violins, a flute, a cello, and a cornet of the Senior Orchestra are pLiycd hy Junior High students. "As the�e striplings �row older they aspire to emulate those virtues so admired in the Senior High School students, and seek Lo trample down those vices and pelly egotisms which prevail therein." Thus ended Time's report of 1929 and 1930. /'a!{I! T1rc11ty•tlt'o

My good blade carvPs the casques of men, My tough lance thrusteth sure, My strength is as the strength of ten, Because my heart is pure.

THE GrnL's LEAGUE this year consists of all the girls in the Senior High School including those of the Ninth Grade who were voted into membership in September. Again the Big Sister Plan, introduced last year, was followed out, and on Ha1lowe'en the Juniors and Seniors gave a masquerade party for their little sisters of the incoming Seventh and the Eighth Grades. Our House Committee directed the complete transformation of the girls' room, our big project for the year. _We hope the others will enjoy the results of our work as much as we have the doing of it. That we might finance this enterprise, we tried various new methods for the raising of funds. A silver tea was given; candy in novelty bags was sold at the play; there was a ew Years' Dance in honor of the Alumni, and the annual pay �ssembly in the form of a vaudeville show. We wish here to express our gratitude to the members of the faculty who cooperated with us in all we undertook, and especially to Miss Willows, our advisor, who has so willingly helped us and who has been a real friend lo each. As we look back upon the year, we hope that it has been a success ful one; we know that it has been a busy and a happy one.

THE CLAREMONT branch of the San Gabriel Hi-Y, although one of the smaller groups, is beginning to be felt in the scho::il and community. Com posed of eighteen high school fellows who are pledged to live up to the club motto, "To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and com munity high standards of Christian character," the Hi-Y furnishes far greater good to the member himself and the school which provides for a Hi-Y, than is sometimes apparent to the outsider. The club is very fortunate this year in having as its faculty advisor, Mr. Ellis Spackman, and as its sponsor the Pomona College Y. M. C. A. which furnishes excellent leaders for the club both at its bi-weekly Monday meet ings and in its outside projects. Although not primarily a social organization, the Hi-Y sponsored a highly successful dance March 1'1, which helped increase the amount pledged to the Guildhall fund. Page Twe11ty-eight

CHAPTER 8) of the California Scholarship Federation, known locally as the Claremont High School Honor Society, has had an active year with an interested and enthusiastic membership. Mr. Ellis Spackman and Miss Anna K. Peterson have been valued sponsors for the group. Meetings have been held regularly and representatives have been pres ent at the bi-monthly district meetings. In overnber the local chapter was joint host with Chaffey to the district organization. In April a delegation from the Claremont Chapter attended the annual convention of the Southern Ca]ifornia Federation held at Catalina Island. This.is an ideal spot for such a meeting and those who attended were more than delighted with their ex perience and look forward to attendance next year. One of the most pleasant events of the year, participated in by all the members, was a theatre party at Ontario followed by dancing at the home of Elizabeth and Richard Edmunds. So the year has offered a variety of activities all of which have been voted success[ ul. ['age 1'wenty-11i11<:

Tms YEAR a literary society has been organized in Claremont High School which alrea<ly gives promise of great success. There are many students who are much interested in writing, but formerly, outside of class work, they received liule encouragement or opportunity for criticism. "The Scribblers Club" has been formed to meet this situation and though there have been comparatively few meetings, both the criticism and the type of work have shown marked improvement. The club consists of thirteen upper classmen, eleven of whom are charter members. Mrs. Cornelia K. Hull is the sponsor and has given much aid and helpful advice in the work. There is a true enthusiasm and a genuine sincerity that entirely justifies the club's existence. Page Thirty

SPECIAL PROGRAMS "The Men of '65"
�
ON LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY, February 12, members of the Boys' Physical Edu cation Department, under the direction of Coach Roy Hendrick, presented "The Men of '65" before an enthusiastic High School audience. The per formance was so successful that they were asked to repeat it before the Clare mont Community Players on February ] 9. The play depicted the surrender of General Lee at the close of the Civil War, and showed very clearly the relations between President Lincoln, Gen• eral lee, and .General Grant. The cast ·was as follows:
General Grant General Lee Abraham Lincoln Malins, Gr-ant's Aide Buchanan, Lee's Aide Hay, Lincoln's Aide · David Peele Duff Penner Walter Scott Chronicler

SPANISH PROGRAM
ON APRIL 25, Mr. Ewington directed a delightful program as one of our special assemblies. The play presented was a Spanish comedy entitled "Los Pantalones" and excited a great deal of merriment for although it was spoken entirely in Spanish and only: the Spanish students understood the conversation, the action was eloquent, and everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. The cast which was composed of members of the third year Spanish class was as follows: HuBERT PoPENOE Father Miss MARY PoRTER Mother Daughters • - MANUELA HUERTA and MARTHA BAILY JULIA STREET Suitor EDNA TRACY Maid Guests-FRANCES SMITH, MARY JEWEL TRAVIS, EDNA BUCKLEY, CORA ADA TOWERY.

THE ANNUAL SKIT
ON WEDNESDAY, January 22, a novel skiL was presented by Lhe Annual Board to arouse interest in the book, and boost the sales. A radio had been installed on Lhe stage in the auditorium by Huberl Popenoe in such a manner Lhat the words of speakers off- stage came through the loud speaker in a very realistic way. The curtains were drawn to reveal the interior of the home of two Claremont High School students. A •lively conversation was inLerrupled by the radio announcement, "This is station C. H. S. Earl Thompson Incorpor ated Education Distributors." There followed some rather pointed requesl numbers and finally the main f eaLure of the program was announced, "A Jou.rney Through- Bookland," the regular program reviewing the latesl books of the year. The book chosen for the occasion was "El Espiritu de '30", and the review was conducted by Martyn Harwood, whereupon an ex cerpt from each section of the book was given. Probably the most amusing of these short "chats" was the broadcast of the last two minutes of a football game between Sp"adra Beach and Claremont, representing the athletic sec Lion of the Annual. Presently the friends of the two girls began to drop in and at the end of the "Journey", they discussed lhe merits of "El Espiritu de '30". The editor introduced the various members of the board and each in turn made a short plea for his section and the support of the project.
GIRLS' LEAGUE ASSEMBLY
THE YEARLY pay assembly of the Girls' League was held February 29. The program was in the nature of a vaudeville performance, instead of the play usually given. A large number of the girls took part and it proved Lo be a marked success, both from the standpoint of cooperation and of financial returns. The program follows:

FASHION SHOW
ONE OF THE most interei;ting events of the year occurred on May 29, when the fourth annual Fashion Show was presented by the girls' sewing classes under the direction of Mrs. Williams, and assisted hy the classes in natural dancing under the direction of Miss Hauan �nd Miss Brogden of Pomona College. The program �pened with a procession of the girls in beach cos tumes. This was followed by "ON DECK," a delightful clog dance. The members of the sewing classes, as models, displayed the school dresses, wool suits, ensembles and afternoon frocks which they had made. The dancing classes presented other numbers between the exhibitions of costumes, and a final ensemble in which all the girls took part concluded the program. Later refreshments, prepared by the cooking classes, were served in the library where other articles made by the sewing classes were on display.
LETTERMAN'S CLUB PROGRAM
THE LETTERMAN'S CLUB, organized for the first time this year, presented an interesting and novel pay•assembly on May 27. Their purpose was to secure funds for the purchase of club insignia. The main feature of the program was a miniature minstrel show in which the entire group took part. Coach Hendrick created two excellent characters for end men in Bill Webb and Hubert Popenoe who had made some reputation as comedians in "The Belle of Bagdad." Harn1ood and Goodchap with their harmonicas contributed additional comedy as end men and with Bert Thompson as interlocutor, some very humorous situations were produced. The program was varied by special numbers contributed by individuals and an orchestra assembled for the occasion. Another interest• ing feature was a tumbling act executed by a group of the boys under the direction of Clarence Bishop of Pomona College.

ATHLETICS AN ATHLETIC FIELD and Track, second to none in the League, has at last been realized at Claremont High School and should he a decided stimulus to our high school athletics. What was formerly the "rock pile" has been reduced to a field, level as a table and already planted to grass. The leveling of this field and its complete development represents an investment of several thousands of dollars. The field is surrounded by a quarter mile track, thirty feet wide on the straightaway and twenty-four feet wide on the rema•inder. The track has cement curbs inside and outside and is composed of screened native soil over a base of larger rocks. After the grass on the field is sufficiently mature, the lanes for baseball and runways for the field events in track will be cut out, and screened clay tamped into place. The field is so arranged that it provides space for football in the fall and baseball, track, and hockey in the spring as well as a suitable place for regular class work. Another stimulus has been the increased interest of the men of the community as shown by the local service clubs. In the fall, the local Rotary Club sponsored the football team, coming to the League games, furnishing transportation to out-of.town games, and at the close of the season, banquet ing the entire football squad. The Kiwanis Club has presented the school with a permanent trophy the purpose of which is to encourage athletic deYclopment, sportsmanship, and scholarship. It is to be awarded yearly to the hoy best representing these ideals. Page Thirty-seven

BONITA 45-CLAREMONT 0
On the 18th of October the Claremont "Wolf Pack" traveled to Bonita for their opening League game of the season. Bonita was rated high above Claremont because of - pre-season scores, but this game was much better than the figures would lead one to believe. The combat opened with Claremont receiving. We were held for downs and punted to Bonita's thirty-five yard line where we gained possession of the ball through a fumble. It began to look as if the "Wolf Pack" was bet ter than was expected. The "Bear Cats" Look possession of the ball and after a few plays, Brooks of Bonita skirted the "Wolf Pack" left end and behind wonderful interference galloped for the first touchdown of the game. The Claremont team, fighting desperately, could not stop the wide end runs af!d reverses. In the second half Claremont held Bonita much better, thanks to the council of Coach Hendrick, but could not get within scoring distance. AL the end of the fourth quarter a tired and bruised "Wolf Pack" left the field to take shelter in its lair until the next week. REYNOLDS

The Friday following the game with Bonita, the Pack left their home liy the mountains to try their strength against the Colton "Yellow Jackets." The first half started with Claremont again _on the receiving end of the kick-off, but we could not seem to get under way and Colton took the ball. On the first play a "Yellow Jacket" slipped off tackle for a touchdown. The remainder of the half was much the same story and Colton ran up a lead of forty-seven points. Early in the second half, "Brick" Carroll found a hole in the Colton line and after some very clever running, crossed the goal line for a touch down, but fai-led to convert. Soon after that, a Colton pass was intercepted by Thompson and run for a touchdown, Carroll took ·the ba·ll through the line for the extra point. The rest of the half was evenly played. Both teams making nice gains, but neither scoring. WOLFE

On November lsl, Claremonl mel Lhe Chino "Cowboys" 011 the Pomona College field. This being the first League game played al home, we were anxious Lo win, but the "Cowboys" were a little too strong for us. They pushed the ball down Lhe field about the middle of the first quarter for a Louchdown and the conversion was successful. In the second quarter Chino again came within scoring distance and resorted to passing. Wolfe, a game young Sohpomore, intercepted one of the passes and galloped down the field to Claremont's goal for a touchdown. The extra point was made. The second half was disastrous. Chino pushed over two more touch downs, converting one of them, while Claremont was scoreless. The Lwo teams were evenly matched at the first, but Claremont did not have the reserve strength to replace worn out players. The game was hard fought and Chino paid for what she got.

CLAREMONT 6-CORONA 12
The next week found the Claremont team playing the last game of the season and for some of the players the last game for dear old Claremont High. The game was scheduled al Lhe College Field. The teams were evenly matched. Neither gained any particular advantage for the teams were forced Lo punt, or lost the ball on downs. Late in the first half, Carroll, of Lhe "Wolves," took a pass from Thompson and crossed the line for the first score. The conversion failed. The second half threatened to be a repetition of the first, but a Corona man dropped on a fumbled punt, giving the ball to his team near Clare• mont's fifteen yard line. It was pushed over the goal line for a touchdown and tied the score six all. The conversion failed. In the fourth quarter Corona again received the ball by means of a break ( a bad punt which fell out of bounds between Claremont's fifteen and twenty yard lines), making another touchdown, but they failed to convert. The "Wolves" resorted to an aerial allack, but to no avail. The gun ended the conflict with Claremont on the losing end. Thus ended the season of 1929 and Claremont had failed to win, but we look forward to 1930 and a strong comeback. Next year's squad will miss Clapp, Goodchap, Harwood, Thompson, Popenoe, Reynolds, and Sjo beck, but with Leezer, Estep, Shine, Carroll, Wolfe, Jarvis, Lewis, Towne, W. Fellows, Webb, and Madison returning, a fine season is anticipated on our own new turf field. Page Forty

LIGHTWEIGHT FOOTBALL is something new in the history of Claremont ath1.etics. This is only the second year that there has been such a football team and it has been highly successful. Only one game was lost, one resulted in a tie, and the rest were won. Lyle Martin of Pomona College coached the team and did a very satifacto1f piece of work.
The first league game with Bonita on the Claremont field was fast and full of thrills, but the Bonita boys were too heavy and succeeded in µushin� over two touchdowns. The next Thursday, Colton was encountered on 1'1 ;, rnme battleground and was nosed out by a 12 to 6 score. Chino was the next foe, and said to be the best team in the league; but the Claremont hoy., fought them to a scoreless tie. The last game was with Corona and proved to be an easy conquest.

BASKETBALL CLASS A
AT THE OPENING of the 1930 basketball season, the "Wolf Pack" faced a rather long schedule because of the entrance of Barstow and Victorville into •J1c Tri County League. Although these schooh were officially in the League at the beginning of the school year, it was not until basketball season that we met them on the field. CLAREMONT ] 7-CHJNO 3)
The opening game of the season was with the Chino "Cowboys", last year's champions and the winners of this year's cup. The game was played in the Bonita High gym. The first half passed quickly with the "Wolf Pack" far behind the "Cowboys" by a score of 21 to 6. However, the second half T was a dif- crcnt game altogether. The Claremont team profited by their mistakes in the first half and made eleven points to their opponent's ten, but were not able Lo overcome the fifteen-point lead. Lewis was high man for Claremont with 7 points, while Jarvis was close behind with 6. CLAREMO 'T 21-BARSTOW 25
Barstow was the next team with which the "Wolves" tangled. The game, which was played i11 the Pomona College gym, was fast and full of thrills, hut the Barstow boys seemed to have a better eye for the basket. The score at the half was 8 to 15 in favor of Barstow. The second half proved to be even. more exciting than the first. After receiving some directions from

Coach Hendrick, the boys went into the game again to make up the points their opponents had gained, but fell short by four. Claremont gathered thirteen points in the second half as against Barstow's ten, leaving the final score 21 to 25. Lewis and Jarvis this time tied for honors for Claremont with seven points apiece. CLAREMONT 7-VICTORVILLE J 2
The game with Victorville was not auspicious and proved a discourag ing one for Claremont. All of the "Wolf Pack's" points were made in the first half. Victorville chalked up five in the same half and scored seven in the second. Jarvis was high point winner for Claremont with four to his credit. CLAREMONT 17-BONITA 21
The next game played was with the Bonita "Bearcats" on the Claremont court. This game turned out to be something of a repetition of the one with Victorville. The Claremont boys started off with a bang, scored three points in the first minute of play, but did not score again during the game. Bonita mustered ten points in the first half and eleven in the second. Carroll made Claremont's only basket. CLAREMONT 17-ConoNA 20
The next Friday, Claremont traveled to Corona. The game started off much as the two preceding games had. Claremont made one point in the first half against Corona's twelve. The second half was somewhat different. The Claremont Loys came back fighting mad and chalked up sixteen points to Corona's eight, but could not overcome the eleven point lead. The second half was one to be remem Lered and is said to have been the fastest half played in the conference dur ing the season of '30. Thompson was high man by scoring fiv=e of the seven points Claremont netted. CLAREMONT 11-COLTON 2]
The final game of the season was played with Colton at the Pomona College gym. The Claremont players, and especially the seniors, were out to win this game. It was the last game for three of the boys on the squad. Colton had the better team and after much hard playing made their shots at the basket count, and shut the Claremont boys out 21 to 11, but they had to work to get their points.

THE CLASS C Basketball team was the most successful of Claremont's aggre足 gations for the season of 1930. They won two games and as Barstow for足 feited to them, they were credited with an even score. Although young and inexperiem::ed, much hard work on the part of the players and Coach Leonard Towne, produced a very creditable team. Though the first game with Chino was lost, the Claremont.boys put up a good fight and out-scored their opponents in the second half. At Victorville they ran up a good lead in the first half and by forming a strong defense, kept the other team from scoring. The Bonita game was not as good as the others, for the Claremont team was out-classed by more experienced oppo足 nents; nevertheless, it J1ad its thrills and moved fast. In the Corona game the teams were about on a par, but Corona succeeded in making the extra basket. The outcome of the Colton game was a different story. The Clare足 mont boys had an eye on the basket and the ball slipped through just often enough to shut the Colton team out, and the C team ended the season with a victory.

TRACK THE TH1-Cou.Yrv LEAGUE track meet for ]930 was held al Colton 011 April fifth. This is the only League Lrack meet of the year ,rnd all the schools Lake parl, so Lhat there are a great many athletes present and competition is very keen. The number of men reporting for track this year was small, but Charley Eaton, from Pomona College, took charge of the team and managed to in crea�c the number of members. The squad was green and inexperiencd, but Eaton trained them into good form so that they gave stiff competition to the athletes of the other schools even though they did not bring in many points. Ward Fellow» proved a "dark horse," tying with Colton for second in the high jump. He also ran a good heat both in the 220 low hurdles and in the high hurdles. Captain Jarvis entered the 440 and high jump, Pitzer and Rankin, the broad jump, Goodchap, the discus, and Lewis and Thompson, the shot put. The Class C track team was more successful than the Varsity as far as points were concerned. Miles Fellows took first in the 120 low hurdles and third in the 100 yard dash. Robert Ewart placed second in the l 00. The relay team composed of Clark, Armstrong, Fellows, and Ewart placed fourth. Miles Fellows and Robert Ewart were entered in the Southern Cali fornia meet, but did not place because they were competing with contestant•; of much greater experience. Both are in their first year of high school a;,J should develop into good track men. !'age forty-six

BASEBALL OwtNC TO the unfortunate position of the spring vacation in the calendar and a Len days' deluge when the season finally opened, the entire haseLall schedule was crowded into three weeks and the Annual goes to press with only three games played. In the pitcher's box, Claude Wolfe was the only man who could hold the league teams down to close scores and the congested schedule made it impossible for him to pitch all the games. Carroll, J arv1s, and 01ton alter• nately filled catcher's position and places in the infield. Captain Sjobeck covered first base; Goodchap, second base; Clapp, and Herren, shortstop; Ewart and Thompson, third; Lewis, left field; Ross and Armstrong, center field; and Estep and Clark, right field. Wilbur J allings was student man ager and scorekeeper. CLAREMONT 12-V!CTORVILLE J 9
Due to weather conditions, practice games were rather ragged, but when Claremont met Victorville on the Webb School diamond, the game was one of great interest throughout. There was not a slow inning in the game. Claremont took the lead in the second inning and held .it, keeping about one run ahead until the ninth when Victorville brought ten runs across the home plate. Claremont started a rally during the same inning, but it fell short of the opponent's. Thompson and Wolfe did the pitching for Claremont.

CLAREMO ''I' 1-BARSTOW

l,;pon Barstow's entrance into the Tri-County League it was agreed that owing to the distance between the schools, contests ordinarily scheduled as their home games would be played at San Bernardino. Accordingly the Barstow game was played at the Santa Fe Baseball Park in that city.
Claremont was first at bat and started off well. Ross walked and then stole second and came home on Sjobeck's single, making the one run to the credit of the "Wolves." Barstow piled up a series of runs and had no diffi culty in defeating a less experienced nine.
The Barstow teams have increased the competition in the League and Claremont welcomes a superior competitor. The schedule for the remainder of the season is as follows: May l 6-Claremont vs. Corona al Webb School. May 20-Claremont vs. Bonita at Bonita.
May 23-Claremont vs. Colton al Colton.

TO A MOUNTAIN
There stands the monarch of his realm, On high above the fertile land, There is no crown upon his head, Nor golden sceptre in his hand. He is as old as time itself, His brow with snow is all agleam; His courtiers are the noble pines, His goodly moat a dashing stream. His subjects are the birds and beasts, Who dwell in crevice, cave and rift; The mocking birds his minstrels are, The nimble fox his runner swift. His face is scarred, his back is bent, But years to him few changes bring; Though nations rise and nations fall, He still is the unconquered king.

MOU TAIN FOG
UPON LOOKING out of the kitchen window early one morning in December, I was surprised to see a very dense fog, instead of the usual bright sun shine. My spirits were immediately dampened at the prospects of a heavy snow which would be sure to follow this fog-a huge cloud of mist, cold, damp, and forbidding. A deathly silence seemed to hold the woods in its very grasp, except for the occasional dripping of water that fell from the leaves of the fog enshrouded trees. A sudden sound, the chirp of a bird or the slight rustling of the leaves was off ending in the oppressive surroundings, and jarred the ear drums like a heavy cannonade on a Sunday morning. Frequently the mournful hoot of an owl would come floating down through the stillness, half smothered by the heavy veil of moisture-laden air. Even his sharp eyes could not pierce the gloom. Vision was limited lo a scant seventy-five or one hundred feet, so dense was the mist. The trees, shrubs and rocks appeared blurred and very vague, and took on weird shapes and forms in the gloomy atmosphere. Night comes quickly on a day like this and by the middle. of the after noon lamps are lit and send out their pale yellow beams, insufficient to cope with the foggy darkness. -RICHARD

A PICTURH
The mirrored lake lay limpid at my feet. Blue meeting blue; and waving to and /ro I see the pine trees, arms tossed high As tho to lift their burdens to the sky. fhe snow-capped peaks and hazy blue-green hills Complete a picture that my pulses thrills. The picture changes; The golden sunset flooding far and fleet Paints yet another picture at my feet, With hills and trees aflame like beacons bla;:.e. The ice on snow-capped peaks to fire turns And then as quickly as the hot fire burns The picture fades to ashes. Over all a soft and dusky light Draws the cnrtains of a perfect night, As sinks the sun behind the distant hills. The moon rides o'er the pines, and down the lake A golden rippling path is spilled. /'a;;<' Fifty-four

THE HOLD
THROUGH THE three-foot hatch there descends a pair of boot-clad legs which immediately disappear through the shaft of admitted light as the form of a sailor appears from above with muttered oaths at the perilous footing 011 the crusted ice below. There immediately follows another hurly form carrying a protected electric lamp, whose yellow rays cast gigantic shadows on the nearby beams and bulwarks but send no penetrating rays into the damp darkness which surrounds. A faint rustling and thudding above is heard as the hatch cover is replaced, and the two forms, dropping low, make their way cautiously on hands, knees, and stomach� under low-set beams, over fish-filled and ice-covered bins, forward to a partially empty bin in which are several ice picks and shovels.
As they slide into the bin and straighten up to shake the kinks from their cramped hacks, they say little, what does pass being composed mainly of oaths directed at the sharp protruding ice and beam corners which have made their cramped journey none Loo pleasant. After restoring circulation, they begin at once to wield the picks and soon fill the cold J1eavy air with Dying ice shavings and the sound of crushing ice. Every breath which comes from the now sweating but cool workers forms a thick cloud of fog which soon fills the air and makes the feeble efforts of the lamp seem hopeless.
Soon the sounds change, as with spine-chilling scrapings the shovels are brought into use and the loose ice is thrown into adjoining bins. G radu ally the grinding and crushing dwindles to a stop and the faint glow of a match is seen as a cigarette is lit. There are a few exchanged mutterings as the constant thud of thrown fish is heard on the deck above, and the work continues. The damp thickness of the air is soon soothingly broken by the sweet, warm odor of the cigarette smoke. Again the work diminishes and stops when all hut a few inches of ice is cleaned from the bin. This time the men, after carefully smoothing the remaining layer, place their tools conveniently close at hand, and send to those above the cry, "pescado ! "
With the admit�ance of sunlight from the now partially.:opened hatch above, there seems to come a new atmosphere, for, during the brief delay caused by the gathering of men from other tasks to help with the storing, they freely exchange remarks and genial banter with each other and with • those above.
The chute is no sooner in place than the repeated cry of "pescado" brings the still warm, slime-covered fish pouring i11to the hin. Few words now come from the men below, for they are on their knees, surrounded hy slippery fish and are rapidly becoming covered with scale� and adhesive exudation left by the stinging slaps of a few misdirrected fish from above. Frantically they manage to Aop and slide a layer of the sharp-finned tuna into packing order. With their call of "enough" the loud, sharp "smack"

of large fish landing broadside on others ceases and the hatch is covered quickly with heavy canvas, leaving the hold again in murky darkness.
Stopping only a moment for breath, the two men scramble awkwardly into the adjoining bins and soon cover the wet, slimy sea creatures with clean white ice which in the light of the dim lamp appears discolored and Jirty. Three hours later, as the two finish covering the last of the fish in the now completely filled bins, they can hear the faint swish of the brushes as those above clean the deck. Pushing the light ahead of them, they slowly make their way hack over the sharp cutting ice and reeking fish until they again stand beneath the hatch through which they had descended. When those above remove the hatch-cover and take the light from the upstretched hands, they dimly see below two shadowy figures, half in and half out of the beam of indirect sunlight. Immediately a shaggy head ap pears above deck, then two sweating but chilled figures feel the rush of warm sea breeze on their faces. With a few relieving oaths and friendly jeers they make their way outside to help with the "wash down" before the long-belated supper, of which no one partakes until all tasks a·re finished. -MARTYN HARWOOD.

ROSES Tim AFTERNOON was waning in a small secluded town near Madrid and the twilight glow delicately tinted the flowers which grew in an old Spanish garden. The tantalizing perfume of roses floated in the cooling air and faintly, as if in the <listance, the sound of a waterfall, tumbling over time worn rocks, could be heard. Maria, now stooped with years, always felt that a spring twilight was tl,e most beautiful time in her garden and daily she left her homely tasks to wander slowly and thoughtfully along the bordered paths. One spot seemed to her more beautiful than any other, a place filled with memories and enchantme�1t-a rose arbor fragrant and charming, covered with a glori ous array of creamy white roses. And so Maria walking through the lovely garJen, directed her steps to this sanctuary. The air was heavy with the perfume and the bees were load ing themselves with their last bit of golden nectar. The sun sank lower as Maria dreamily seated herself on the rustic bench, and the soft glow began lo slowly disappear. Maria loved it, d ra nk it all in and, in her appreciating way, understood. It had been the same for years, too many to count-always the same. Every evening she came to her rose arbor lo wait for him; to wait until the last ray of the sun disappeared behind the rim of a distant low-lying hill. But he never came. Juan never came and sorrowfully she would rise lo return to the house only with the hope that tomorrow he would come. But this evening was more beautiful than all others. Never before could Maria remember such soft, mellow air. Surely his long-waited retui:n would be a reality-this would be the evening. Dreamily she rested her silver-white head upon a garlanded post and a full blown rose, moved by the breeze, gently caressed her soft wrinkled cheek. Iler eyes closed and her soul was removed from the present to the olden days so many times lived over in her heart. She asked herself how long ago it was, troubling herself but little to recall the answer. It was too many years even to remember. How often she had sat on that very rustic bench when roses bloomed about her, and dreamed again of Juan's farewell. Memories so sweet and delightful! Such a b ra ve and daring Spanish youth he was, his bright eyes always laughing yet soft and tender when he spoke of love. Maria n:'called the night when he came to bid her farewell. He prom ised to return with an amassed fortune, wealth enough to buy the great house by the river, to have a family and to live comfortably. He promised to return to Maria -to take her, his beautiful bride, to the River House. And then, when the moon was shining round and full, he took Maria in his arms and plucking a large, fragrant rose he kissed it and gave it to her as a parting gift. And with these words, he departed, "Goodbye, Maria mia. Page fifty-eight

This rose is the token of my love, pure and faithful. Be happy and I wi11 return soon to you." Cheerfully he swung his pack over his back and strode into the darkness.

Maria gave a sigh-such memories, such happy memories. From the folds of her dress she drew a small silk bag made by her own patient fingers. Opening it, she took from it a rose petal, brown and dried, brittle with age. Softly she pressed it to her lips and a tear. rolled from beneath her closed lids. "A token of my love, pure and faithful." The breeze blew through the arbor and with a shiver Maria drew her around her stooped shoulders and sadly walked into the house. shawl lacy

That night brilliant stars shone in black heavens and the mild air was heavy with the scent of flowers. The moon illuminated Maria's garden and the rose arbor gleamed white against the shadows. A heavy stillness .lay upon the little village and no one was astir sav,ďż˝ for one lonely figure that wandered aimlessly through the winding village streets. It w_as the figure of an old man, worn with toil and age. His clothes were ragged and his head was bare. He mumbled to hirm;elf as he walked hesitatingly over the roughened way. On he limped, until he came to that arbor of climbing roses. Suddenly he stopped and dropping to his knees he whispered, "Oh, Dios mio! Never did I hope to live to see this again, this spot of all my dreams! Why did I ever leave you, Maria dear? The world has been cruel, cruel, cruel to your Juan! Every moment your beautiful spirit urged me <011 hut I had not the strength of purpose. And now they tell me you are dead, why did you not wait for my return? Oh Maria, Maria!" The old man trembling stood upon his feet ;1nd tenderly picking a rose, kissed it and thrust it beneath his ragged shirt. With one last sigh h '! picked up his pack and, swinging it over his bent old hack, shambled olf into the darkness. -ALICE HAND.

Laughing and shouting down below, Bare-foot boys are watching them blow Like great white birds of fancy' s dreams, :- Or snowy sails borne on turquoise streams. Tugging, straining at their strings, Striving ever to see the things Away, way over the billowing slopes, Beyond the reach of their limited ropes. We, too, strive hard to reach those heights, And, too, are held back by the strings of our kites. -FRANCES PoPENOE.

THE HISTORY OF ISKANDER, A ROMANTIC BIOGRAPHY A Review of "Alexander," by- Konrad Bercovici
BEFORE ONE has read more than a few pages of Konrad Bercovici's "Alex足 ander," the truth of a slight quotation written at the beginning of the book is quite apparent: "History is fiction written without imagination." Ber足 covici's treatment of the life of Alexander needs no imagination Lo make it a most fascinating, emotional, and valuable narrative. From the time when Philip, father of Alexander, or Iskander, as he is called by the author, is twenty-five years old, till a month after Iskander's death, or in other words from cover to cover, our attention is held riveted upon Alexander, and on the completion of the volume we must pause and consider what has just been said, and let the full significance sink in, for this book is not only the hiography of a great conqueror, but also a philosophical discussion of the characters, emotions, and customs of man and woman. At intervals all through the book the author interrupts the thread to discuss, comment on, and show the tendencies and mannerisms of mankind, and at the conclusion of some significant fact or event we are shown the roots which fostered and supporied this, the author discussing with us why it had happened and the relation it had Lo mankind. He goes along through the whole book like a lecturer or instructor with a pointer, explaining lskander, commenting, sup足 porting, or condemning his actions, bringing out the main factors which combine to foster them, and always with an eye for the relations of Alex足 ander's actions to the ways of mankind. From the very beginning Iskander was a tool, and always a tool for a woman. He was borne and bred by his mother for the express purpose of blotting out completely from history the name of Philip, his rather, who had been a conqueror as Iskander would be. V:Then Philip was twenty-five he had married Olympias, a young, red-haired daughter of a dead Epirotic king. Arter the marriage Philip be<.:ame a different man. To avenge himself for the humiliating conditions imposed by Olympias' guardian, and the demands of Olympias herself, Philip became grosser than an_y Macedonian king had ever been Lefore. He did everything which coulcl huml>le and humiliate his queen, and in return for this Olympias brought up her son to completely eclipse and obliterate, by his own deeds, the achievements of Philip, for she knew that Philip's dearest desire was that his name should go down in history. So the young Alexander was trained Lo become the conqueror of the world. Nothing was spared in his education and up-bringing. Aristotle was his tutor, and to him Alexander owed many of his broad ideas and realizations. At sixteen he was governor or Pella. while Philip reserved for himself the possession of arms, for the Macedonian king was certain that his son could never equal him in generalship.

But Philip was doomed. The reputation and name of Alexander grew and grew in the eyes of his people, and finally, when Philip was murdered by an insulted officer, Alexander stepped into the breach and assumed the role of <lictalor. He now set out to subdue the many enemies along the borders of Macedo11ia. These having been dealt with, he prepared for the greatest step that he, or rather his mother, had yet conceived, for though his plans and hers usually coiocided, she was the one that made sure that he executed them, for had she not borne and raised him to be the conqueror of the world, the Looi �n her hand "to chip off the letters of his father's name from the rock of time?" Iskandcr assembled the strongest and most efficient army yet seen in Macedo11ia, a.!1d with it and clever strategy he conquered the king of kings, Darius of Pe1:sia. But al this point another factor entered into the narrative, Statira, daughter of Darius, who was to become the greatest rival of Olym pia!-i. Iskancler was greatly in love with this beautiful young girl of six teen, but she realized this, and she used that knowledge to her advantage. Darius had been accidentally killed in the baule, and Statira never recov e;ed from her sorrow. So that the name and honor of her father would never be lesse11ecl, lskander must go on and conquer the wodd, so it would be sai<l that only bkandcr could have conquered Darius. Thus Alexander, instead of being the tool of one woman, was now the tool of two. After penetrating far into Persia, he turned his attention Lo India, and after wintering in Persia marched across the mountains into the fabulous wealth of the East. In due course of time India was conquered also, but only after the greatest battle of his career. But the decline of Iskander had begun. In fact it had begun on the plains of Persia. His return to Babylon, where Statira resided, was marked by so many furious drunken orgies that it disgusts one to read of them. At last the death of his most loved friend caused the collapse of the mind of an old man, who had conquered almost the whole known world, but who, because he had "consumed most of the sparkle in the wine of his blood," celebrated his victories in drunken revelry and debauchery, and was quickly eclipsing his feats by crimes too horrible to mention. The rea 1 Iskander was no more. "What remained was the flat mixture of his father and mother, minus their individuality, and harked back to ancestors even more crude and cruel." Because he was defeating the plans of his conspirators, Sta Lira and Olympias both decided that his death must he brought about, for he was <leslroying his own f amc. So a young nobleman 'was sent to the court o[ the king with a deadly poison concealed in the false tip of his scabbard. At :;undown, on the twenty-eighth clay of Daesius, Alexander died, and the fires 011 the altars of Asia ceased burning at the same moment. The empire which he had given his ]ife blood to construct collapsed, even as he died. -WALDO KELL.

That dreaded Spanish "D" Among my souvenirs. A few more papers may Recall those cruel, school days And tho' they're graded "A's" To give me consolation I count the "C's" and "D's" And they outnumber these Which leaves me tearfully, Among my souvenirs. -ROBERTA SMITH.
