THE NEW BUILDING Perhap, fe"· 11011· en_ioring the ,pacious building which has been ours only one semester realize the numerous advantages and opponunities that are offered us in a school "·ith the number of students of ours. ,ve- should appreciate our opportunities and capit:tlize them before it is too late to retrace our steps. Architecturally the building e1·idence, the result of careful planning in graceful arches and stone relief, while utitit!· and strength are self-evident. Perhaps the most · rnluable addition to our facilities is the splendid new study hall with ample space and light to \\"Ork. The placing of the library is quite ideal, making the books available at all times and providing a place 1d1ich has proved conducive to concentrated study. The "·ide halls runnin_g the full length of the building allo\\" for lockers and thr passing of classes. A complete cafeteria, not yet in use as such, is now a pleasant room for lunches and the serving of special meals as on the occasion of dress rehearsals. The Domestic Science department is modern• and adequate, and the Art room is a �pacious, sunny and pleasant place to draw. Adequately equipped science laboratories �hould increase as marked!!· the efficiency of our work in chemistry, biology, and physics, as they have added to the e�joyment and interest of our 1rnrk in these fields. The :\1 usic Department, too, has profited great!!· by the new arrangements, the Chorus and Orchestra rooms proving to be the most delightful and comfortable rooms in the building. Probably our proudest single acquisition is the auditorium with a �tage and lighting S)'Stcm that is second to none in the way of modern construction ;.nd equipment in high schools. At present the auditorium 11·ill scat 560 and as yet seats have not been placed in the bakon)'· A projection booth, work room and a tro phy case complete the features of the auditorium. There arc also new dressing rcoms and a make-up room. Judginir from the use alrrnd!· made of the auditorium by the school and com­ munity the generosity of the taxpavcrs in providing it is amplv justified. Aside from the main building stands the boys' training quarters, also built this year. Into this $tructure was incorporated the coach's office, dressing rooms and showers on the first floor, and a gymnasium on the second. There is room to take care of nearly twice as manv bo!·s as are using it at present and a!! equipment has been planned with an eye to the future. \-Ve should not merelr take this excellent permanent equipment for granted, for it represents a prodigious arr.ount of unseen labor and sacrifice, all put forth for the fortunate ones who are beginning their education at Claremont High School. Few schools can offer to their students a place more inspiring and encouraging for a con­ structive and organized start in life. Let ·us consider ourselves indeed fortunate.

SCHOOL SONG A rumor that someone had written a school song reached :\I rs. Nohavec last spring. The rumor persisted and after much search it was divulged that the genius was none other than Kathryn Johnson. The lj;ric and words came to light about September, 1932.

The song was not a "pep" song, but one of the Alma :\Later type. The harmoniz­ ing possibilities were so apparent that Katl1r�·n wrote an arrangement for first soprano, • second soprano, and alto.

It fitting!�- had its "Premier Presentation" at the opening of the new addition to the high school. lt was sung h\· the Girl's Glee Club with the composer at the piano. The number has been used on many occasions and has proven very popular. It is the kind of song that \,·ill grow with use.

It is a mark of distinction that Claremont has passed from the stage of parodies and adapted school songs. For some time \\'� have been using original "pep" songs, our Chant was \ITitten expressly for us, and 110\\" we have an Alma :\Later song which IS beautiful and our \·cry own. Hrrcwith is presented a uni;ibn arrangement which \\·ill be the official form to be used br the entire Student BodL

Plans have been formulated for the establishment of a Lost and Found Department and "·e sought to find a good use for an anorn-mous gift of $200 to the school. We have a!so spent considerable time "·orking on a �Ian for the impro,·ement of study hall order. \Ve have tried to make this organization really worth \\"hile, hoping that in the years to come the students will realize the value of accepting greater participation in school government and the us,/ of the Student Council as a means through which ther may express their desires and wishes for school improvement.

Joseph Crutcher The Junior High School Student Council was formed last year to represent the Student Bodv in the discussion of important matters. The organization is com­ posed of the Executive Board, the presidents of the seventh, eighth and ninth grades, and an elected representative from each c'.ass. This group meets with the principal e,·ery other vVednesday during the noon hour to ronsider the problems of the school. This year, because of the fact that the ne"· building was under construction and that the school was in temporary quarters. activities in general were limited. Despite this handicap, the Council "·as a help to the Junior High School Student Body. A trip to the famous ship, the Constitution. ""as made possible , a landscaping plan for the new building was worked upon. and the Junior and Senior High papers were combined. These, together with thr solution of other problems such as local welfare drives, helped to make successful the second �·ear of the Junior High School Student Council.

This year ha,; been one of contrasting situations and continuous change, but the Executive Boards of the Junior and Senior High Schools consider it a privilege indeed to lrn \·e been able to serve the entire Student Body alike during the most trying period and the happiest stage in the histor!' of the school.

The Executi 1·e Boards, as adequate representative bodies, must maintain dosest contacts with the students and this was made possible by the Boards' conjunction with the Student Councils of which they are an integral part. The year has been note­ worth ) · in that it has revealed the depth, height and breadth of student and faculty cooperation and set up a standard of cooperativeness that should remain for future student bodies. The success of our undertakings this year is attributed to that fine spirit of loyalty and enthusiasm which has ever characterized student groups of Clare­ mont High School.

The boys, in spite of the fact that the girls constitute a large majority of the class, have ably represented us in athletics. The Senior girls as \1·ell, can show in sports a winning record throughout the past four years. The operettas. student hody pla�·s, and orchestra have exhibited talents both dramatic and musical of Seniors. \Ve hop� the \Volf Packet and the Annual may have proven more \·aluable because of the conscientious efforts of the members of the class \\"ho have aided in their production. A small number of us ranked not only for one semester or a year as Scholarship Society students, but "·ill take leave as proud wearers of life membership pins. Some have been especial!�- active in the Girls' and Boys' Leagues. Scribblers has claimed rnme of our budding geniuses in their attempts to follrnv the muse of poetry and prose. A skating party was held on an evening in the second semester, \1·hile a beach day in the late spring added the first red of a summer's sunburn to those \\"ho gathered at Balboa. The Senior Banquet \\"as a delightful affair in the �-ear's social events, whicl, successfully culminated with the Junior-Senior Reception in June. To the faculty we \\"ish to express the sincerest appreciation for the countless ways in \\"hich they have set for us the fine principles of life. \Vith the school, we leave the expectation of its progress that has carried us rn happily th rough its �·ears.

Of course the first 1-7reat event was the springing of our maroon and cream sweaters. Ct was effected on one of the hottest days we have undergone; however, Juniors sweltered loyally. The sweaters were of excellent quality and taste and have stood in good stead on many a winter day. In the annual Student Bod ) play as well as in the operetta the Juniors were not only prominent as actors but also ns business managers and stage workers. Later in the n•ar several of our members exhibited their talents in the Girls' League and Junior Class piay,. We have attained high rank in scholarship; the president of the Scholarship Society was of our number and four members of the Scribblers came from our ranks. Some journalistic ability has been discovered and Juniors have held positions on the staff of the "Wolf Packet" and the Annual. The orchestra thi, ) ear clni\'ed much of its talent from the Junior mcmlwrs, as did also the art classes who did much to advertise school productions with signs and posters. In athletics, both boys and girls exhibited great activity; while the boys con­ t; ibuted to our footbal I, basketha I I, tennis, track and baseball teams, the girls helped to uphold the honor of the Girls' Athletic Association. :\Iuch credit for the excellent ,-chcol spirit and enthusiasm evinced in the rooting sections is due to the yell leader who was chosen from our group. Our plans for a snow day in the first semester could not be carried out. However, in the second a rollicking time was had at the beach and again at the Junior-Senior Reception, which was the crowning event of the year. In April the class produced at a pay assembly John Kirkpatrick's one-act play, "The Teapot on the Rocks." It proved a very interesting as well as a somewhat profitable enterprise. The class of 193-t now faces the final year, glad that it may be spent in the ne\,· huilding with all the opportunities the new equipment provides and anxious to be worthy of its privileges. \,Ve owe much gratitude to our advisors, l\iir. Forney and Mrs. Williams who have so ably assisted us throughout the year.

One bln- made the \'arsit,· basketball team and three others received their letters with the B's: The girls took ·an acti,·e interest in basketba!l, hockey, speedball, and base­ ball, and while we have not won manv games, we have learned the meaning of true sportsmanship. Our grade in contributing members to both orchestras and to the Preparatory Chorus has shown promise of talent for the future.

To become a member, a girl must have twenty-five points, which may be attained by one season's attendance in the after-school practices. There are various activities offered b,· the Girls' Athletic Association of Clare­ mont High School. Basketball, Hockey, Speedball, Tennis and Baseball are the major sports. This year has seen the institution of a new ac;tivity, hiking, which has seemed very popular among the girls. The general plan for each sport is to spend two after­ noons a week in practice. Points are awarded for participation in these sports. When a girl gains five hundred she receives a letter; a pin is awarded for a thousand. At the end of each season, there are iQterclass games, a spread for the Association members, and a play day for all the girls of the Tri-County League. This year the teams of the senior class on several occasions were invited to Scripps College to participate in games, at which times the�· enjoyed tea with their opponents. With the capable leadership of the president and the help and advice of :\/Jiss Anderson, this year has completed another link in the history of the Girls' Athletic Association.

ORCHESTRAS The orchestras, under the direction of Mrs. Minnie Howe, have had a very interesting year. Early in the season, the Senior Orchestra, assisted by the Prep Orchestra, gave a benefit program to raise money for distinctive uniforms, white sweaters with red bands and emblem-a lyre in a large "C." The first school appearance of the orchestra was for the Dedicatory Exercises of the new building. Dr. Blaisdell, in recognition of their work on this program, enter­ tained the entire Senior Orchestra at the concert given by the Los Angeles Philhar­ monic Orchestra. Later this Senior group played on a benefit program of the Public School Council, at the High School plays, in the l\Iusic,Festival, and in the Senior High Commence­ ment. In addition a concert was played for the children of the Elementary School. The Preparatory Orchestra appeared at the '.\Iusic Festival and at the Junior High Commencement. Although this grotip is not as experienced as the Senior Orchestra, much valuable material is developing \\·hich \\"ill be used in the Senior Orchestra in years to come. During the second semester� boys playing instruments not regularly used in the Orchestra, as guitars, harmonicas, and accordians, were organized into a campfire group. The popularity of this type of music spread so rapidly that these boys were called upon to play for several school assemblies and at a La Verne Scout meeting. SE:SIOR ORCHESTRA

"Scholarship for Sen·ice.'' :\Ioncy "·as scarce and our first enterprise was a popularity contest which concluded "·ith a most successful special t<lition of the "\Volf Packet." Other acti,·iti�s in the first semester included an interesting afternoon spent at the Los Angeles Ci,·ic Center ,,·ith ,·isits to the City Hall, the jail and several courts. In the •"·inter season a jolly sno,�- party was enjoyed at Rig Pines. During the second semester we secured Scholarship pins and, thanks to our new building, a room of our own \\'�S assigned \\·here members may spend their study periods. A busy ye;1r was concl�ded with a tour of the Huntington Library and grounds. Five of our members ha,·e attained the distinction of becoming Gold Seal Bearers and deserve the congratulations of all for their achievements. vVe sincerely thank our ad,·iser, i\Ir.

SCRIBBLERS Presidt>nt ...................... ............................................... Betty Runals S ecre tary ............................................................... Jane Schoolcraft Four years ago "Scribblers" was founded in order to stimulate further interest in literary endeavor among the Juniors and Seniors. The membership was necessarily limited to a total of fifteen scribes and was determined by election on the merit of work submitted. Activity this year has remained for the most part in the field of poetry, though several have attempted prose, with interesting results. The membership includes eleven-eight girls and three boys-with �Irs. Hull as adviser and critic. Bi-monthly meetings are held at the homes of the members away from the class­ room atmosphere. These take the form of intimate discussion groups, in which the work of each is read anonymously and criticized. This tends to encourage independent criticism as well as original work. Especially enjoyable among the year's activities was a trip to the University of Southern California to hear a lecture by Carl Van Doren, eminent essayist and critic, from whom much inspiration was gained. The "Scribblers" have produced some really good creative work of which they may well be proud. Seven of the group are Seniors but it is sincerely hoped that the four remaining will form the nucleus of an even more successful organization in 1934.

GIRLS' GLEE CLUB President ......... ............................................................ Phyla Wood Secretarr ......................................................_............ l\1argaret Lyon

The Girls' Glee Club, which is composed of twenty-three girls, was organized for the first time last year, and immediately became one of the most active organizations of the school. As this is an extra-curricular activity the members, who are chosen from the Adrnnced Chorus, �ive their time out,ide of school hours for practice, the • time of meeting being from 7 :45 to 8: 15. The group has appeared several times wearing their distinctive uniforms, white dresses and red boleros. They have sung before the service clubs of the community and have given programs of sacred music in both Claremont and Pomona churches. The organization is ahrn,·s read\ when called upon to sing for s_chool assemblies.

The principal women's roles in the ar1J1ual operetta •'Chonita," presented by the Advanced Chorus, were taken by members of the Club. ln conjunction with the Boys' Voice Class, the Girls' Glee Club has made several appearances. Through the efforts of :\I rs:. � oha,·ec and under her fine direction the group has had a very satisfactory year.

LETTERMAN'S CLUB President ............................................. ......................\Liles Fellows ........ Robert Griffith Secretarr-Treasurer

The Letterman's Club in its third year of organization has already proven itself to be an institution of great value to Claremont High School. Begun as a means of increasing student interest in athletics and of promoting higher standards of sports­ manship and character, it has become an organization which has brought its members into a more complete understanding and appreciation of one another as well. The Club this year has reached its largest membership since the beginning in 1931. Eligibility is attained upon earning at least one letter in varsity athletic competition.

In l\1ay an entertaining pay assembly was given by the organization and later in the month a beach party was enjoyed by all members. Th rough its various activ­ ities, good sportsmanship and unity in the school is furthered, and a wholesome attitude of sportsmanship is promoted.

Our success would not have been possible had it not been for our faculty adviser, Coach Lyle }Iartin, whose own high standards of sportsmanship and character have done much to develop the morale of the organization. Through his efficient and impartial handling of the fellows "Coach" is largely responsible for the widespread interest in athletics.

The Football Banquet, judging from the enthusiasm e,·inced, was great! )· appreciated. �cw Year's Eve again saw the League sponsoring a successful dance at the \,V oman's Club House.

The Associated l\ [en Students is a comparatively new organization in Claremont High School, this being the second year ,ince its inception here. During the year 1932-33, it has endeavored to enlarge the scope of its usefulness to the student groups of the Senior High School. There have been regular monthly meetings at which topics of local and present day importance ha\"e been presented and discussed. In addition, outside talent has frequently added to the enjoyment of these assemblies.

At the first meeting of the year the boys were taken on an entertaining and enlightening trip through the Ford Factory by means of the motion picture machine. On a later occasion Dr. Stewart Burgess of the Pomona College department of Social Science enlightened the group on the subject of Technocracy, a topic of immediate interest at that time.

At other meetings guitar, tap dancing, and accordian numbers by home talent added to the pleasure of the meetings, while discussion of problems of special interest to the boys of the school made up the more serious element of the program.

In order to cultivate a closer cooperation and friendship between the men and boys of the community, the Kiwanis Club has extended an invitation to one member of the group to attend the weekly luncheon meeting. The fortunate member has been chosen by election, and some fine fellowship h�s been gained by this contact.

The group has been under the guidance of :.\Ir. Arrington, :.\Ir. Booth, :Mr. Forney and l\lr. l\Iartin, and their helpful supervision has been greatly appreciated.

The organization hopes to bccom; of greater service to the boys of the High School in the future.

THE WOLF PACKET Our mm 111 publishing the ,volf Packet has been to further school spirit and to uphold and advance the ideals of our High School. We believe and hope that this has been accomplished in some measure. The paper has been published bi-"·eekly and to prevent its becoming a financial burden the circulation was reduced the second semester to Student Body members _of the Senior High School. T n it have h�en recounted our victories and our defeats, the growth of our new building, its completion and the many activities centered around it. It has grown in popularity and among the fa\·orite pages arc "Allah Gogga,'' the "'Vaste Basket," and Sports. While working on the paper, man�· ha\·e gained valuable experience as editors, managers, reporters, mimcoirraph editors, and feature writers. A few were fortu­ nate in being able to attend the Student Press Convention at Los Angeles. There city reporters spoke on journalism as a profession, and the various processes of print­ ing and engraving as well as copyreading and proofing were demonstrated. The ,·ear has be:n most profitab! e and we wish to express our gratitude to '\lrs. Hull for her advice and generous a�sistance.

ANNUAL STAFF Each year with increasing enthusiasm the Annual Staff set, for itself the goal of an accu;ate, detailed and convincing account of the school year. Planning for the book begins long before school opens in the autumn, and the book is not finished until J,.m.e, a�\Hoximately a year later. However, the work progresses in an even and steady manner and finally, to our joy and relief, we ha,·e a book. Special commendation is due this ye,:ir to the art editors, Florence 1'IcBurney and Eva Smith \\'ho, after the choice of a Russian theme had been made, created our five original division sheets. The hand coloring of these pages proved to be a tre­ mendous task and could not h:l\·e been accomplished "·ithout the help of a number of girls who sacrificed their Spring \'acation to assist with this work. vVc owe a vote of thanks to Ruth Philipps, Barbara Harwood, Inez Nance, Jane Grey, Alma Childers, and :\largaret Lyon for this assistance. :\lary :\lacDougall has handled the calendar. in a clc,·cr manner while Phoebe Anne Hough covered the assignment of the literary section. Adaline Pendleton and :\ Iae Thompson did more than their share "·hile Jane Howe, as secretary, stood by an unpleasant job faithfully. James Lyons supervised all of the ,photography and Douglas \ Villiams had charge of the Sport section. Richard Ordwav has proved a successful salesman of ice cream, the proceeds of which arc devoted to· the Annual fund; Claire Gillette has acted as business manager and Charles Stauffacher and Clinton Hibbard have spent hours soliciting advertising. As the editor, :\Jiles Fellows has produced the book but without the unfailing assistance of :\lrs. Hull we should have been unable to reach our goal. \,Ve have enjo�·ed our work ;ind hope that those who read this book will enjoy the product of it.

DEDICATORY EXERCISES The impressive ceremony which marked th_e completion of one stage of our career as a school opened new channels of endt;a\·Or and far-reaching growth leading on to flying i:roals for years to come. In uplifting music from our orchestra and chorus, and in inspirational words this new building of our� was dedicated to the youth of today, but within the heart of every student it was purposed that "·e should be worthy of it. \.Yith the Architect, the .\layor of Claremont, the President of the School Board, the Count�· Superintendent of Schools, the President of Claremont Colleges, our Principal and the Presidents of the Srnior and Junior High Schools to speak to us, we could not help sensing the significance of the occasion. There was a challenge in the passing of the key from one to another, it is truly the opening of the door.

GIRLS' LEAGUE PROGRAM The first pay assembly of the year was sponsored by the Girls' League, the pro­ ceeds going to welfare work. The play, "\Vanted .\loney," was directed by Eva Smith and the cast included Florence .\IcBurney, Barbara Hoel, Sara Stys, Jane Schoolcraft and Lois Squier. There were additional piano numbers and tap dancing. The program was used in an exchange with the Bonita Girls' League.

JUNIOR CLASS PROGRAM The Junior Class to aid in financing the Junior-Senior Reception gave a very fine assembly program. Employing only class talent in their one-act play, "Teapot on the Rocks," they produced an interesting forty minutes of entertainment. The play, dealing with a failing tea room venture, was a delightful comedy. Ruth Van \'oorhis, Alice 1lacDonald, Florence Amason, Robert Griffith, James Lyons, and Prestridge Ellington in the cast, contributed their part to the play to make it thor­ oughly enjovable.

LETTERMAN'S CLUB Among the special assemblies held during the year was that staged by the Letter­ man's Club. Certainly e\·eryone seemed satisfied at the hilarious good time, well worth the ten cents. Besides a series of fourteen sport tabloids which were effectively done, there were vicious boxing matches, the only casualties being sustained by several of the audience who suffered from suspended respiration during the excitement. How­ ever, the farce, "Love and Lather," created quite a sensation; with its many laughs and comic situations, it was enough to furnish ample entertainment for the afternoon.

ATHLETICS


ATHLETICS IN CLAREMONT HIGH SCHOOL Besides affording ample opportunity for de\·clopmcnt of the co-operative team spirit so highl\' essential in life today, competitive athletics in Claremont High School, during the past year, have been outstanding in the de­ velopment of physical recreational values in the student body. For despite a limited student body, the bovs of this school have been able to hold their O\rn ,\·ith the larger schools of the Tri-County League. It is interesting to note that here athletics is not a sideline for a fe\\. highly specialized individuals as in most schools. Over eighty per cent of the boys take part in some form of interschool competition during the academic year. Athletics in Clare­ morit High School from the �tandpoint of mass partici­ pation 11re highly successful. i\Iany times during the past athletic season Claremont students have displayed an indomitable "fighting spirit," a spirit \\·hich grew stronger in defeat rather than with victory. In the final analysis the Claremont teams have measured up well by the only standards that really matter in the game of life. For the highest aim in all athletics is not to win but to play the game as true sportsmen. COACH :.\IARTIX.

THE KIWANIS CUP The Kiwanis Cup award, signifying the highest de­ velopment of mind and body, was awarded in 1932 to Dorsey \ f acDonald, whose high standard of sportsman­ ship and fello\\·ship have earned a well deserved place for him among the most truly representative members of Claremont High School who have been and who are to come. He is the third boy to have received the distinction of having his name engraHd on the trophy. Dorsey won a letter in football as a fighting tackle on the 1932 team, and in basketball through his consistent ability at the guard position. He was a member of the California Scholarship Federation, President of the Asso­ ciated :.\Ien Students and held various class and student body offices. As an actor he played leading roles in several productions• and "·orked as stage manager in several others. It is sincerely hoped that the recipients of the award in the future will be as truly representative and deserving of it as \\'ilS Dorsey.

VARSITY FOOTBALL This year, as always, Claremont was recognized for its clean playing and its wholesome attitude. A fine spirit of sportsmanship and cooperation, and a will to fight to the last was evident throughout the team. The Wolfpack appreciated the fact that scores do not always count in the winning of a game, and therefore went through the season with a determination that is hard to beat. Far outweighed and out­ numbered by all its opponents, and suffering throug-hout the latter part of the season from the local flu epidemic, the ,Volfpack sustained many defeats. However, the team at least had the satisfaction of scoring in every game.

With the return of only a few lettermen from last season, prospects at the first of the year were not very promising for Coach Nlartin's football team. An unexpected number of Sophomores and Freshmen reported, however, to fill in the ranks. The pre-season practice lasted about five weeks during which many practice games were played with varying degrees of success.

vVith their spirits high the boys journeyed to Corona for their first League encounter on October 21. They were not expecting a very strong adversary in the Corona team, but were rather heavily upset during the first part of the game. Thanks to the timely advice of Coach i\1artin between halves, the backfield and the line were able to push over a touchdown in the last few minutes of play.

Two weeks later, November +, on the home gridiron the team met with the strong, aggressive Bonita squad, and although the score, when the game was over. �tood 28-7, it was much more closely contested than the points would indicate since the Wolfpack made four more first downs from scrimmage than did their opponents. In the second and fourth quarters, with Herrin bucking the line, and with Fello,,·s and Griffith carrying the ball around the ends, the vVolfpack made driving gains into the Bonita territory. Captain Traer played his usual consistent game at center and tackle. His leadership and good sportsmanship \\·ere an inspiration to all throughout the season.

With only five days to rest after meeting Bonit;i, the third g:;ime of the se;ison with Colton's championship eleven was played on the home field. Having a strong reserve, the Colton team tired the Claremont boys after a scoreless first quarter. Nevertheless, the Wolfpack, as in the two previous g:ames, by putting its whole heart and strength into the fight, scored with a line huck in the final period, making the score 21-6.

A ·week and a half later, November 18, found Claremont playing Chino for the cellar position in the Tri-County League. Starting out \\'ith machine-like precision, the Wolfpack was able to hold the Co,,·boys froni: the first. Early in the second quarter Claremont turned a fumble into a touchdown, to take the lead of 7-0. How­ ever, this was short-lived, for Chino ret;ili;ited with all the energy it could muster­ forcing two touchdowns before the peria.d closed. In the second half, although the Wolfpack kept up its fighting spirit, the Co,,·bo)·, penetrated to our goal line twice, making the final score 26-7.

JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL In the near future Claremont may expect to have championship football teams if the promising material produced in the lightweight eleven is any indication. Grinding through \\"eeks of grilling \nirk, at tackling practice and signal play under the direction of Coach Kryder, the boys developed into a team of young huskies rival­ ing any in the valley. \Vith so much experience behind them, and having played to­ gether some time, this team ,hould offer a serious threat to the heavy\\"eight teams • of the Tri-County League in the years to come.

Outstanding ability in football tactics is already being displayed by many of the boys. Shifty quarterbacks, hard-hitting fullbacks, stony tackles and flashv ends were among the important products of the year's squad. Robert �icholl proved himself to be one of the most elusive ball carriers on any junior high team in the vicinity, as well as being the brains of the team, directing it from his quarterback position. Nicholl \\·as also captain of his squad, piloting it through a successful season, suffering only a single defeat. Ned Babson, t\\"o-year man, pla�·ed a hard consistent game at end, stopping many of the opponents' dri\·es and aiding many of ours. His constant cheer­ fulness, good sportsmanship, and :-willingness to fight \\"ere a decided boon to his fellow players. Koch, Kunkle, Kelle\·, Keen, and Brehaut were outstanding in the line, \\·hile Holtz at fullback added offensi\·c punch and defensive support to the backfield.

The only unfortunate occurrence of the entire football season, as far as personal injury is concerned, was the accident ""hich befell Jack Huddleston on the last night of practice when he fell and broke his leg. Huddleston ""as a regular end and had performed ""ell up until the time of his accident.

The lightweights played three games; in their first they fell before Fremont, the valley champions, 6-0, large!�· due to the havoc raised by Kenny and Robert l\IcCrea of Fremont. In their second encounter the pee-\\"ees took on Emerson. The Claremont boys were in a vengeful mood and trounced them 19-0, with :\"icholl proving to be a irood ground-gainer for the Wolf Cubs. The last encounter of the season was with the vVebb Lightweights. Although considerably outweighed, our boys dug in and scored a touchdown, defeating \Vebb 6-0, and ending: a very successful season.

A word of appreciation for his generous devotion of time and energy should be given to \Vallace Kryder, who. physical!:· disabled for the games this year, coached the midgets through the season, giving them the basic fundamentals of football as well as the valuable knowledge and appreciation of the game which can come only through actual participation.

VARSITY BASKETBALL With a much better place to practice, on the wood floor in the new boys' gym, the basketball squad showed a ·corresponding i111provement in floor play, shooting, and general basketball tactics. Although the varsity did not win a conference game, they have, nevertheles�, ample reason to be proud of the team, for competition was close and playing ability excellent. A spirit of co-operation, -good sportsmanship, and loyalty created that wholesome atmosphere that makes the game a joy to watch. regard­ less of the final score. The first game of the season, played against Corona, was decided only in the last few minutes of play, the Circle City boys ·winning by one point, while in the second game, which was played with Ronita, who "·ere the title winners, our boys were generally outplayed. The concluding games of the season, played with Colton ;ind Chino, and lost by few points, were hard fought, exciting battles which featured precise floor-work and shooting by all of ovr players. In a Tri-County League post-season tournament. Claremont, although the loser, came off the floor bearing many honors. Captain Abbott was placed in the guard position on the All Tri-Count}: team, while Zetterberg received a medal as high · point man of the day. Next year should be a prosperous one for Claremont's varsity for there are prom­ ising men in Nixon, i'-1 elson, Zetterberg, and Steudler.

CLASS "B" BASKETBALL Champions! 1ot for a long time has Claremont had a championship team, but this year the "B" squad "·on the tournament played at the conclusion of the regular season, at Chino. The}· began their season of plaf with a spectacular one point win from Corona. Becoming somewhat overconfident with their unexpected win, the following week they were defeated by Bonita whom they had not believed so versatile. However, against Colton, cooperation and teamwork ,,·ere evinced in a second victory for the team and with at least a tie for the league championship at stake, the "B's" met Chino but "·ere edged out of a triumph in the final minutes of play. Ample praise and deserved awards were received, however, when in the final tourney, Claremont again defeated Corona and had the pleasure of avenging their first defeat at the hands of Bonita by climaxing the match with a wildly exciting victory of one point to win the tournament. As a reward, the team received a gold plaque whi!e each member was the recipient of a gold basketball. Clark's play was outstanding and it was he who sank the winning basket against Bonita. However, Tabor, Libbey, Swoveland, and Stauffacher all played an excellent game. Captain Stauffacher received the medal for showing the finest sportsmanship in the tournament, Clark received the honor of being placed in the guard position of the All Tri-County team, and Libbey took two medals, one as high point man in a game, the other as high point man of the tournament.

CLASS "C" AND "D" BASKETBALL The "C" and "D" basketball teams followed very closely the record set by the Varsity and "R" ,,·eight teams. The "C" team was unsuccessful in all of its en­ counters, \\·hile the "D.s" lost the game for the midget championship to Chino by a close score. In the first game, against Corona, the "D's" \\'ere successful, while the "C's" \\'ere barelr nosed out in the last minutes of play. Against the classy Bonita fives, neither of the \Vol fpack aggregations \\'as ab'e to make much headway, and both \\'ere • beaten. The next \\'eek in the Corona ccntest the "C's" put up a good fight but ,,·eak­ ened in the last fe\\' minutes to allo\\' the Corona boys to overtake and pass them. The "D's", playing ,,·ithout their star for\\'ard, ,,·on by a score of 16-15, largely through the ability of Captain Deming to rnge his free thro,,·s in the closing seconds of the game. Interest ran high in the game between the Chino "D's" and our midgets for the Tri-County League Championship. For awhile it looked as if the vVolfpack mites were going to he the victors, but Chino outlasted them and took the title.

For the "C's", ::\IacHarg, Ellington, Don ::\Iorrison, Darrell ::\Iorrison, Immel, Kunkle and Cro,,·ell played consistent ball. Captain Deming and Robert Nicholl were outstanding on the "D" team, alth9ugh Pierce, Brehaut and Holtz played consistent!�, at all times. vVith the experience that these bo\'s have gained they should make good material in the future.

TENNIS

As usual the tennis team this year \\'as chosen hy means of a ladder tournament, which John Nixon defeated Prestridge Ellington in a hard driving match for the top position. Charles Stone of Pomona College acted as coach of the team, managing the matches and giving instruction during the early morning practices which became a part of the regular program after the season was completely under \\'ay. :.\I uch inter· est l,as been manifested this year \\'ith many ne,,· men from the ninth and tenth grades reporting for practice. 111

In a practice match with Pomona College Freshmen, the High School team suf­ fered a heavy loss, but gained much valuable and needed experience. John Nixon, playing first singles, came closer to \\'inning his match than did anyone else, losing onlv by a slight margin.

The first Leaiue match \\'ith Corona, having been scheduled for the week of spring vacation, was postponed until the latter part of the season. The Clare1nont eight journeyed to Bonita on April 26 for the first league encounter. The excitement of the first match and strange courts, coupled with the superior playing of the Bonita men, resulted in a defeat. However, with added practice and experience they should be able to make a much better sho\\·ing against the remaining teams. The usual lineup was: singles-Nixon, Ellington, Traer, and Captain Williams; doubles-Stauffacher­ Lyons, Crutcher-Zetterberg. Since on!�· three of the players this year are Seniors, next year should be a good one in the tennis history of Claremont High School.

VARSITY TRACK vVhile the \·,irsity track team of the pre$ent year was small, individual perform­ ance showed steady impro,·cment and the outlook .for the coming year seems more hopeful than in the recent past. At the present ,time Claremont track teams suffer from lack of interest in the sport. This is to h:: deplored, for in reality ,t 1s most fascinating; it provides cxcel:ent phl'sical co-ordination and places the contestant upon his individual mettle. Three meets were h:ld prel'ious to the Tri-County .\Ieet on April 1, the first being an interclass meet \\'ith the Freshmen winning. The second was held at Colton with \',tr)·ing success, while the final preparatory contest \\·as lost to Pomona High Sophomores, 56-39. Claremont High forces placed fourth in the conference meet \\'ith the total of eleven points \,·hich enabled them to win over Chino by one point. Fel!ows and Griffith were the sole point "·inners, gathering-six and five points respectively. Fellows tied with Roland of Bonita for a first in the hundred yard dash and placed third in the two-hundred and twenty yard lo\\' hurdles. Griffith exceeded expectations in copping second in the furlong, an.� placing third in the hundred yard dash. Trac)' and Tabor barelv missed placing i,� the football thro"· and the mile as did .\Iassce and Steud'.cr, both Freshmen, who showed up \\·ell and should develop into good track men. Claremont has possibilities of placing much higher next season with the addition of the high scoring "C'' team members to the remainder of this )'ear's squad.

LIGHTWEIGHT TRACK This year's Track Team had many outstanding athletes among its members, all of \\·horn helped in placing Claremont third-only t\\'0 and one-half points behind the conference \\·inners. 1 n the sprints l�h\·in Talbot, speedy tenth grade star, broke th? Tri County "C" record of 5.7 seconds. He likewise tied the record in the hundred yard dash, taking first in that event. In the half mile run, Richard Ordwav has shown great promise; in the final run he placed fourth. ClareJTiont likewise was able to make an excellent showing in the field events, the Sophomores furnishing the outstanding athletes. ln the shot-put, Rigoberto Gomez was able to push the weight for third place. adding more points to his team's score. Tom J\IcNamee won the high jump by clearing the bar at five feet and four inches while Ordway tied for second. Talbot again showed his versatility by placing a close second in the broad-jump, in which, incidentally, a new League record was set. The relay composed of Ordwa)', Gomez, Teuscher and Talbot, placed second making a total of twenty-six and a half points for Claremont, against twenty-eight for Corona and twenty-nine for Colton. With so many young record breakers and promising athletes interested in this sport, Claremont may look forward to an excellent track team in the near future. fl

VARSITY BASEBALL At the time the Annual goes to press there are yet two games to be played, these being with Colton and Chino. However, with Steady improvement and the high spirits of the plavers at this time the outlook far the remainder of the season is one that promises so�e interesting games.

T n the preparatory season the team has played an average of two games a ·week, has won nearly half of these and has put up a good fight in the remainder. In four games, two against Citrus· and two against Webb, they broke even, winning one game from each team. Voorhis proved to be too accomplished in the art of baseball for our team, although against the Pomona College Freshmen, Claremont showed much improvement in scoring another victor�·- The games proved excellent training as well as much good sport. At Corona on April 21 the ,volfpack baseball stars began their season by losing; I 0-7 after leading up to the end of the sixth inning. These first innings featured excellent pitching on the part of ,vhiteside, a Sophomore, and home runs by Captain Abhott and Griffith. �Iassee covered left field without an error while Clark and Abbott executed a fine piece of work in scoring a sensational double play. Al I this combined to gi\·e Claremont a lead of 6-2 when the Corona boys came to bat in the sixth inning. In the disastrous batting spree which followed thev scored eight runs · and ended the game for Claremoht.

On �fa�- 9th, against Bonita, after trailing the whole game, the boys finally began hitting the ball and for a time threatened to even the score. This proved beyond rheir powers and Bonita won 12-7.

The majority of players this year are Freshmen and Sophomores so that the next two years should be prosperous ones for the baseball team if experience and practice guarantee the results they are expected to produce.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL A very promising baseball team composed of Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth graders was developed this year under the direction of l\lr. Arrington. The value of the experience and the knowledge of basebal I gained by this early practice in teamwork and cooperation is already being felt on the Varsity squad, many of its new members being Junior High men of last year. ,,vith practically two full teams reporting faithfully every day, many outstand­ ing players are being developed. Ramon Salazar and Clarence Hall are promising material as pitchers. Deming at shortstop is becoming a wide awake player and may be able to step into the position left vacant by Abbott on the Varsity. Richard Holtz has shown himself to be a ver�· consistent first baseman, "·hile Leroy Hall covered the second base.

The team has many games scheduled for its season cf play, but the Annual goes to press before all the results can be obtained. In a game with Norton School, Captain Clarence Hall led his teammates to an 11-1 victory "·ith near!�, everyone on the team getting a knock at the ball. Against Fremont the team was not quite as successful, losing b�• a margin of three runs, although with Emerson they added another win to their record.

Four more games are scheduled to be played before the season is completed, and if all of them are as successful as the first the Junior High Teams will have a record to be proud of.

LITERARY


A LIFE Brown eves - soft as the browns of rich velvets and velours Rarely s;d, but smiling eyes, wherein one sought safety when all seemed dark And lost all fear of darkness and of men. A mouth of brimming sweetness that one loved to touch "·ith one's own lips, Full of strength and love and life. Songs of infinite loveliness and silly little tunes She knew, - that bubbled from the caverns of her throat and fell into my heart. A life of beauty, so unselfish that one could not kno"· its depth, A character so perfect that one could not know its span, A heart so flowerlike that all must know its fragrance, A hand so soft and fine that none might know its strength In life.

JUST FISHING Of all the summer delights that mankind has discovered, I know the best. There is a little cove on the edge of the lake and over that cove stretches a small springy tree. What could be better than to sit on an overhanging branch, pole in hand, to dream of future joys and glories until a golden perch overcomes his distrust of the wriggling ,vorm on the bar bless hook and strikes. 1 n such conditions I do not see a small, frightened fish that has only to be tricked into taking the bait and not out­ played by strength of cord, rod and back. No, I see a great tarpon or marlin on the <'nd of a stout line and bending rod, fighting to the last gasp. The slightest tug of the hooked fish is not the sensation that l experience but the tremendous jerk and the sudden flash of a white body leaping high out of a sparkling wave. As I swing the flopping, gaping little fish onto the fallen leaves, l feel the thril I of triumph that accompanies the final struggle of a monstrous member of 0 eptune's household. At last the battle in my mind is successfull�, concluded and I climb ashore in the expectation of a fish to be laboriously lifted onto scales while a ring of em·ying passers-by and many camera-men ,._,·atch. Then the spell is broken. I sec the insignificant little perch flopping on the leaves, and with an exclamation of disgust l hurl it back, unharmed, into its element, there to grow up. But I always climb back again. That's just fishing. BERT P. SP-ENCER

TO HEAR OR NOT TO HEAR l\Ir. James Peabody stepped briskly from the office of Dr. Ludwig \,Vernicker, world-famous car-specialist. The sharp manner in· which the short, stubby little man dosed the door seemed entirely out of keeping· with the beaming smile he wore on his bespectacled features. As the door banged behind him, he started down the hall with a gleeful little skip as if the sound which he had caused delighted him. •

He pushed the elev_ator bell g:ently and fidgeted until the elevator rose from below and came to rest even with the Aoor. The elevator boy smiled cordially at him as he stepped in, but said nothing. James \,V_ Peabody waited expectantly but still the elevator boy said nothing. At last James \V. 's features began to assume a slightly hurt expression. He sighed and then with a nonchalant air but a voice that trembled slightlv exclaimed, "Fine afternoon!" The e!evator boy stared at him. Since the weather was conspicuously disagree­ able and it was not afternoon at all, but evening, the remark was decidedly inapropos. "Queer bird," he muttered to himself. He was about to open the door at the ground Aoor, when James \V. Peabod�- made a second remark which seemed to amaze the boy even more than the firs�. l t \\·as, "D'you think so?" The boy's mouth fell open and he asked unbelievingly, "Did you hear what I said?" Then to the utter Aabbergastration of the young man he found himself being enthusiastically embraced b�- the surprising :\Ir. Peabod�· who was exclaiming, "That's just it! I can hear, J can hear! Dr. Wernicker is a wonder! Nobody knows about it. I've been having treatments and it's been a success!" \Vith an ecstatic whoop the little man started to trot off down the street, in his glee forgetting the satchel \\·hich he had laid on the Aoor in order that he might embrace this first sharer of the good ne\\·s. The hoy ran after him shouting, "Hey! :\Ir. Peabody! You've left �•our bag!" James W. Peabody stopped short in his canter and shouted in reply, "I hear you." As he received the hag his happiness bubbled over in a stream of words which fairly inundated the boy. "Oh, Jimmy! Just think! To he able to hear. To hear! Oh, when J get home and hear '.\Iatty's darling rnice. She's my wife. And little Caroline. No, she's not little, but the last time J heard her voice, she \\·as only four years old. - Jimmy, to re able to hear once more the s\,·eet sounds of domestic life," he exclaimed rapturously, Jimmy scratched his head. Of course :\Ir. Peabody must be happy and then, he was a \niter and that accounted for e,·erything. James W. Peabody pressed a large tip into the bo/s hand and hurried excitedly off again. "The S\\"eet sounds of domestic life. Oh. I must go and tell J errr before I go home!"

J t was about seven-thirty o'clock \\·hen Jerry deposited the writer in front of his residence. James vV. Peabody walked softly up to the front door, opened it stealthily and glanced \\"ithin. Nobody was in the room. He crept in, chuckling to himself because he had gotten into the house without anybody's hearing him. With their

�harp ears they hadn't heard him. But they took their ears for granted and weren't so excited over using them as he. He took off his coat. After the clangor and din of the city and its Saturday night traffic which his blessed restored sense of hearing had brought to him in all its volume, r hr peace and quiet of home was a relief. He was about to go into the other room to find the rest of the family when a thought struck him. He darted nervously and excitedly back to his satchel, opened it, took out the instrument which had been his constant companion for many years; how grateful he had been to it! Now he picked it up with a gesture of scorn and put it ('11. He would not let the family kno\,. yet. He would keep his wonderful secret for a little while and hear, all unknown to them, "the sweet sounds of domestic life" ebb and Aow about him. He executed an ecstatic little dance and was once more about to go in search of the family when the opening of a door somewhere brought to him the sound of a feminine voice lifted in complaint. He was not sure whether the voice belonged to Caroline or to his wife and at first he could not catch the \,·ords. As the voice began to soar he understood that it was complaining that James vV. hadn't let her know until after dinner was on cooking that he was going to be late. Sent \,·ord that he'd get a sandwich or two in town. The idea! Sometimes, the voice exclaimed, she wished it weren't so hard to make him hear. She'd give him a piece of her mind! And she'd cure him of his habit of leaving things around and dropping ashes on the rug. James \,V. had no trouble in identifying this as his wife's voice. A good-hearted woman but the possessor of a very sharp tongue. A practical and efficient manager of the household and therefore continually out of patience with the impractical and inefficient man who happened to be her husband. Here Caroline's voice was raised in protest to the effect that poor father should be sympathized with in his affliction, not criticized. Probably his deafness made him absent-minded and then, he kept his mind rn much on his writing. James �T.'s manner lost a little of its assurance as he listened to this conversation, but he was scarcely given time to think about it, for at that moment his wife and daughter entered. He noticed as he looked fond!�· at Caroline that she had taken efpecial care with her appearance. Probably her young man \,·as due tonight. Caroline came close to him and shouted a greeting in his ear. Not knowing exactly how his voice usually sounded, he shouted b:ick at her. His wife remarked in an undertone that it \,·as queer that he should shout so "·hen he usually spoke rather low. Still shouting, in order that he might not seem.:to have heard his wife, he apolo­ gized for not letting her know sooner that he \,·ould be home late. She replied by a gesture which might have meant anything. Caroline at that moment noticed tbat he was no longer wearing cotton in his ears and asked him about it. He had kept the secret of his treatments from the family by pretending that he \,·as subject to occasional earaches and that his visits to the doctor were on that account but now he was afraid that his uncontrollably beaming: counte­ nance would betray him. He explained that his ears were better, very much better! (Sit!! shouting) Meanwhile his wife·s eagle eye had fixed upon the satchel lying open untidily

on the table. Silently and indignantly she closed it up and handed it to him. Rather crestfallen at these first "sweet sounds of domestic life" he went out with it. He did not hurry back. As he was passing through the hall he heard the front doorbell ring and two feminine ,·oices welcoming graciously and coquettishly a mascu­ line one. After a short time he heard his wife coming out of the living room. With the express purpose of avoiding her in case she might still be angry, he made for the I iving room by the other door. He paused in the door\\'ay, not quite sure what he "·as hearing. From the sofa upon which they sat, the two lovers were emitting the most peculiar lisping syllables and childish gurgles. "ls oo my d"·eat big handsome mans?" "Eth, and is oo my weensy-teens�- ittle tlrn·eetheart ?" The two had seen him and so flight was impossible. He advanced slo"·ly into the room while Caroline told Jack, "·ho had turned quite red, not to mind the pres­ ence of her father as "he can't hear annn1y."• James \IV. continued to ad\'ance bravely and shook hands ,,·ith Jack. Then he sat down with determination to read the even­ mg paper. The baby talk which he pre�_umabh· couldn "t hear, \\·as resumed. He attempted . to concentrate upon the \Ianchu rian situation and failed. At last he was about to give it up as a bad job ,,·hen a weird whining sound issued from the next room. It went up and down the scale. 1 t sounded like a lost soul groaning in Purgatory. The lovers stopped abruptly. Caroline walked determinedly into the next room and angry voices proceeded therefrom.

FIESTA Evc:ryone was hustling about in the churchyard. Both men and women in gay camesas lent color to this seething mass of humanity. The fragrance of melting tallow was wafted on the breeze, mixed \\·ith the suffocating fumes of burning candles. There were cries of the booth-tenders, each recommending his special ware in a tone more commanding than his fellows. Cro\1·ds of visitors were pushing their way toward the church, the center of attraction. For was this not the feast day of their own be­ loved Virgin?

As the evening glow faded and the stars began to appear, the fireAies gathered on the trees like clusters of the heavenly bodies fallen as a special gift to earth for this fiesta day. Slowly the bells sounded the Angelus and in reverence each stood silent for a moment. Through the door of the church appeared gaily dressed maidens bearing AO\nr-ropes which were attached to the image of the Virgin, supported on broad young shoulders. Next fo!lowed the priests mumbling to themseh·es as they proceeded. :.\Iany, many floats came, a peculiar mixture of sacred and secular. As the procession moved down the street, the courtyard soon became empty. Everyone who could afford a candle coveted for himself a place in the procession. Young and old joined hands in a common faith. The lame forgot their pain; the blind could see once more. In deepest religious fervor the multitude chanted as they walked. In the distance, as thev passed down the narrow road, lined with modest thatched homes, could be heard the· intonations of the priests and the answering song of the people. On they mo\·ed,

MYSTERY The curtain parted slowly to reveal a figure entirely shrouded in black. A long, sinewy hand reached out from an ample cloak towards the unsuspecting girl; closer it drew, while the victim read on unawares. Then .suddenly, as it neared the girl's neck, a shot rang out in the still, dark room. The hooded figure slumped over the chair, while i\ [iss Leighton's screams awoke the entire household. Hardly had her cries ceased to reverberate through the house when Detective Emery turned on the lights and ran to give support to the thoroughly frightened girl. At this moment Sir i\'Iannery , rame charging in. "\Vho is responsible for this unearthly noise at this time of night? It is entirely unmannerly," he said.

SMOKE STACKS "Daddr, if the fires down there were out for one night, what would it mean, what would happen?" asked the large-eyed lad in worshipping deference of his father's knowledge. But there was more than deference in his question. There was submissive recognition of the fact that he was unpardonably annoying his father, tight lipped, and worried about that pretty fragile lady that had taken mummy's place. If only mummy were here. These last years he'd missed her stories about Santa Claus. He'd had to figure things for himself and now it was that very topic that made him ask this seeming! )· foolish question of his wise, but always distant, father. His father gathered that the question referred to the fires in the large boiler room, that had made a marked impression on his son the day before. His reply was not really intelligent, except that it was designed to permanently dispose of the question. "The ship would probably capsize and sink. Now take Hound and run along." The cap twisted in the small hands was clapped onto the tousled head and the little hands fell to the neck of the hound that clung tenaciously to his side. As they got outside the conversation became freer. The child talked and the dog only ex­ pressed himself ably with his large, thoughtful C)'es and his short, active tail. "I'd jus' as soon it did, Hound. Here \,·e are, wav out here in the middle of an ocean and Santa Claus hasn't any way of kno\\·ing where we are 'cause even if his reindeer can go through the air, like in picture-books, if one of Sany's helpers tells him where we arr, we'll be away when he gets there. Hound, ,\·hat can ya do about . il ,t. " Hound whimpered pathetically and drew a little closer to his little master and tucked his cold nose under the protecting arm. "The wind simply cuts clear through you way up here among the ropes and things," said his shivering little bodv, "but that's not the real problem." "No, Hound," came the waiting answer, "that's not the problem. He'll chuck my scooter bike an' my new wagon down the smoke stack for a chimney, right smack into the fires." There was another understanding silence while the impending disaster was con­ ned over by those tortured minds. The wind was quieting but it was growing colder and "Hound Dog" climbed into his master's lap. "Ilound, come quick," shrieked the lad, as he jumped to his feet, sending Hound rolling, as he dashed off, the dog at his heels. Clamb:ering with yelps and stumhling, they reached the mammoth smokestack, puffing and blo\,·ing. "Hound, what if Santy himself goes down? He'll get caught in the boiler room and he'll burn up!" So he and Hound {ound some canvas, wrapped themselves up and began the vigil for Santa Claus. "I'll just tell him I'm in room 23 and you in room 5 below." Four bells rang out and the uneffusive father was awakened by a cold nose rubbing over his face. He awoke with a start as he realized that there was Hound in the middle of the night without his master. Something must have happened. Had the boy hurt himself?

He dashed out of the stateroom with the excited pup and chased him aft, then clambered up where Hound indicated, taking time only to lift Hound up after him. Where was the boy? He'd neglected him terribly, hadn't talked things over with him, listened to his childish woes, consolini:: him as :.\Iary had always done. He would now if ever- What could ha\·e happened? And then he found the woebegone little figure. Tears streaked his sad little face. The father knelt beside him and for the moment buried his face in the abundant hair as he clamped him dose in his arms. Thankfully he carried the tired little boy back to his bed taking care that he slept, but half hoping that he'd awaken. As he went through the darkened corridor a little arm stole up around his neck and patted his check. A brave little \'Oice began, "l'm sorry, Daddy, that you," then it broke. "l "·as afraid that Sant�·'d go do"·n the smoke stack, daddy,"' - his voice "·ailed desperately. "And he would have, boy, hut he saw ,mu there and sent Hound to get me to bring you in- he was in a rush, but you should sec the scooter-bike and wagon m room 23." died.

FOOTBALL PRACTICE (!11 the 111a1111er of "Browulf")

Fair spread the sud, 'neath the cloud-co\·cred mountains, Green in the season when devil-grass blooms. Oval the field stands, with goal posts uprising. Each day when the masters have let out the classes, The scholars fare forth like cattle stampeding, Some tracing their steps to the white-colored bo�•s· gym Viithin which the\· gird them to practice in battle. Each then doth his limbs bind with canvas and leather And broad grow his shoulders with sponge-filled protectors. :-;-ow forth from the white walled gymnasium come marching The red crested warriors to the green batt!r-field ground. The spiked shoes of the ball kickers on the paving clang loudly. Long do the�· practice in sham battle fighting, Perfecting maneuvers to conquer their enemies Alien knights rallying forth from strange burgs in the valley. At last comes the time when the globular fireball Descending from heaven lets the shadows creep eastward And the coach', shrill whi�tle ends the day's \\"Cary labor. BRADSTREET SMITH

THE VISITANTS it's raining out. I knew it would, for it has been so long In corning that the dust has choked the grass; A1y pinks have drooped, dismayed to longer wait, And my roses bursi: their buds with half a heart. But 1 have known the fellow long enough, My whimsy rain, to know there's none so kind. He would not thus delay had he but known The dust had humbled me to long for him. But he is here with all his countless elves That knock upon my roof with tiny fists And chatter at my pane to let them in, And when it will not, what a din there is. Each drop in disappointment stamps his feet. I wonder if it's cold out there for them. It will not hurt if I but ope a crack And let a few sit down upon rnv sillHow glorious the wind upon my cheekHow cool the elfish fingers on my brow; l gather up their freshness to my breast, But cracks suffice not when I'd have the open sky I'm going out.

FROM THE FRYING PAN INTO THE FIRE Ah! How good it felt. ;\" ever again would any earthly obligations interrupt his peace of mind. How much better "·as this second life than he had anticipated. Thus iVIr. Bigsby mused as he lay in a dreamy state on a luxurious soft bed on which he had awakened after his decease. Everything seemed perfect. A soft, warm light, not glaring like sunlight, Aooded his room. It was so pleasant, no necessity to arise. He would lie there yet another hour and enjoy his nap. So he dozed on until beginning to feel hungry, he picked up the phone at the head of the bed and ordered a magnificent breakfast which an efficient waiter immediately brought. Oh boy, no need to worry about diet any more; he would never be sick again. What a pity that his friends still had to endure the insane struggle necessary to earthly life. ,¥ell, they, too, would sometime escape from their inferno. Thinking thus, he slowly ate his breakfast. Having satisfied his hunger, :\ [r. Bigsby settled himself in a comfortable chair and, ringing for the attendant, ordered him to bring a newspaper and some books. "That cannot be done,'· said the attendant, "for in this realm there is no news and no printed material." "What! no books? Then bring me some games and a companion to talk with." "That, too, is impossible," ans\\·ered the waiter. "vVell, "·hat kind of a place is this anyway?" said Bigsby, growing apprehensive. "Bring me something- to do and be fast about it." "No!" said his attendant. "'Ve can bring you anything you want to eat, drink or wear, but something to do \\·e cannot supply." "This is an awful place," said Bigsb )', growing the more restless because of know­ ing that he could do nothing. ''l'd rather have gone to hell. At least there would be something always going on there." "And where do you think )"OU are?" asked the surprised attendant. BAYARD UcCoNNAUCHEv.

I watched the concrete mixer go round and round, And learned not to mind the grinding sound, I saw the concrete raised up in the sky And poured to make the walls so high, I watched the last tall scaffold fall vVhich leaned against the :\' ortheast wall, And knew that part was all complete; Then next the furnace for the heat. I watched the tiles laid row on row, And the red roof of the library grow, The windows were scraped and washed so clean, And then they painted the wood-work green; Where was I that l saw all this? And how much of the lesson did I miss? I may not know names of leaders clever, But I do know how that building "¡as put together.

Latin is dead and well decayed Its part in history fully played. How hateful it is to toil to save Some relic of it from the grave.

Ancient, pickled, Egyptian kings When disinterred, are ugly things Though handsome once and well preserved. They and Latin should ever be Left respectfully To quiet rest so well deserved. Long since has Latin met its doom Let's not desecrate its tomb. By us at least let it be said "Peace-do not disturb the dead."

I hear the horrible crunching noise Of the millions masticating: Filling their mouths with fattening foods, Their hunger slo":iy abating. Crunching, and munching, and lunching on food And grinding their teeth \\·ith great gusto! Ther pile their plates \\'ith pound after pound, And gobble, and grab and guzzle. vVith Vittles and Viands they stuff their maws­ Their appetites the�- ne\·er muzzle! Crunching and munching and lunching on food And grinding their teeth with great gusto! I am not one of these million boors With thei,r pork and beans and potatoes; Fox- I am reducing m�• avoirdupois Taking tea and sometimes tomatoes. Crunching and munching and lunching on lettuce And grinding my teeth with disgusto !

so;--;NET TO A PAIR OF SCALES How many quakii;g souls have looked to thee In hope thou wilt assure it is not �o; Stout fear has shaken many a heart I know To see thy hands point up so fatally. What weight thy verdict carries when 'tis made, Fates oft have hung within the balance here. \Vhat countless vows have stolen to thy ear? \Vhat hundreds starved to have thy voice obeyed! \ Vhrn thou couldst well be cruel, oh scales be kind And render sentence light and more humane. Thou holdest li,·es of all societ\' To make or break them as thous hast designed. Su ,ta} thy hand and keep the world still sane, And sa,·e our feminine humanity.

Your words are few \,Vhat to do?

You scribble a lot

You busily scrawl

You hate.
