for�word El Espiritu de · 2 I is finished and is now ready �or your pleasure and criticism.

The book is not all that one might

wish, but we hope that it will be a true remembr?.nce of o.ne of the best and most progressive s·chool years.

We have tried

to reflect for you, in these pages, the tr-ue spirit of our school during the past year.

Whether we have succeeded or not; you

shall be the judge.

SPRING

In the springtime, in the green time When the _roses all are red; • I

When the buttercups and daisies

o· er the rolling hills are spread;

When the chortling birds sing praises •

From the treetops everywhere; When the squirrels think they' re hiding­

•

But I still can find them th.ere;

•

When the great Outdoors these tidings Of a joyous springtime, chirrie-

•

'Tis then, instead of schoolbooks, I think of woodland climes I •

•

In the springtime, in the green time When the mountains look so near; When the snow is slowly melting On their tops, outlined and clear;

••

When small twigs the earth are pelting •

Tired of clinging to a tree; When each trail, so gently turning Shows some scene of artistry; When each brooklet, big rocks spurning, Sings a merry, rippling rhyme'Tis then instead of schoolbooks·,

,•

I think of mountain climes!

SECOND SEMESTER Prentis Hale ........ President ..........Blackwell Smith Fern Taylor ........Vice-President ...... Cha.x:lie Eaton Alice And rous ......Secretary ..........Clara Gordon Alma Willows ......Treasurer ..........Addison Richards Seniors. For four years the struggle for that mystic title has been waged. At last success, at least in reaching the erstwhile goal.

The rainbow· s end of other day·s , now reached, seems singu­ larly colorless. Who, now restin.g on this, the second signifi­ cant landing of our upward outward conquest, looks around without seeing other fields and setting other goals? The spurring impulse for these years, now pa·st, has served its e:,c,­ cellent purpose. Aside; let it make way for its successors 1 The Freshman Class of four years ago, like all other un­ tried human organizations· captained unknown possibilities.

Some of these l1a,ve been _realizeg, many are yet to be de­ veloped. The part we have played in the life of the school, small though it 1nay have been, we feel .has served as an in­ dispensable link in the chain of events. The gap we leave on our departure will soon be filled by· others, perhaps far, more capable than we. The task of wo-i:king intp other chains will now be ours. We, from the oldest to the youngest, are transformed.

•

Good luck to you who suppla.nt us. May you always keep in view the higher, more unselfi�h ideal of the better Claremont High School. Our mistakes, more .notice.able than our achieve­ ments, perhaps more plentiful, should furnish to you a guide which, in as much as you have w - itness_ed them-, should be of value. Profit by our experiences. We ar:e glad to have he-lped our High School, if we have; let our departure nqt immediately obliterate our value.

We know no way to expiess our heartfelt gratitude to fbose who have worked with us i.n our high sch0ol sojourn and have instilled into our life that which bas been worth while. At least accept, Oh teache·rs, our thanks.

As we look back over the numerous events of this year we can plainly see that this has been one of the most successful years Claremont High has ever witnessed; on.e in which the Student Body, acting as a compact unit, has ··done'' things.

Through the hearty cooperation of the students and faculty we were able to accomplish successfully everything we under­ took.

Great interest has been shown in athletics. We ·barely missed getting the basketball championship and our showing in the other inter-sch9lastic sports has been favorable. Girls' indoor baseball has been declared a league sport and our team has shown some good ··stu•ff.·· Our good sh.owing in athletics has been largely due to the whole-hearted support of the Student Body.

Our ne'ltV paper, Ll-1e Clare-Hi, has been put upon a successful basis, and l1as been greatly improved. Our little paper has a great future.

Although debating has not been our foremost activity, we have gained mucl1 in that line through class debates and the Forum Debating Society, wh.ich is one of the leading organ­ izations of the school. Some very good material has developed and there is no reason why, in the future, Claremont High should not produce a winning debating team. Claremon.t has lived up to her enviable reputation in dramatics by p,roducing some very successful plays.

The Constitution has been revised and the entire system of school insignia changed to a more desirable form.

The Student Body, as last year, formed the Junior Red Cross, as a unit; and it has donated freely to th.e various for­ eign relief campaigns. Our financial situation has ne·ver been better. We feel that ·in every way the good old Claremont High School spirit of loyalty and servic.e has been maintained.

1n all our undertakings the spirit of unity bas prevailed.

The Ex.ecutive Committee wishes next year's Committee the greatest success for the coming year.

Abottt four years ago, tl1e. opportunity was offered to Claremont High School to use a column in the local paper.

In this way the ''News and Views'' was started.

Ever since that time, the hope has been cherished of enlarging this column into a real school paper.

The interest in S\tch a production grew, u.ntil last year, the ''Clare-Hi'' was published, as an answer to thi::1 dema11d.

•

Under the able management of last year's editor, this new project was established on so substantial a basis that any doubt as to its future Because of the high prices, the first ''Clare-Hi'' has been dispelled. was mimeographed by the students themselves. Although this procedur� proved fairly satisfactory, it was evident from the fir�t that the ''Clare­ Hi'' must, if it were to succeed, be issued in a more legi.ble and at­ The services of a fellow student were offered, and the tractive form. next •semester saw the "Clare-Hi" printed on a l!mall private press. An­ other forward step \-Va� taken when, in the follo,-ving term, the'' Courier"' consented to print the paper.

•as founded, the ''News and Views'' con­ Although the ''Clare-Hi'' , .. tinued to bring the high school and its activities before the eyes of the to�·n.

The · 'Cln re-i-li, · • l,owever, appearing every, two '"eeks as thn recognized production of the school, attempt� to accomplish that which lts pttrpose i� to tepresent I'lOt only Lhe ''News and Views'' could not. the news, but Lhe ideas, beliefs, and ambitions of Claremont High.

The idea of a print1n� press in the high school has long been in our minds.

On this we hoped at some time to be able to print our paper and derive some valuable an , d helpful experience in journalism But after careful co .n.sideration, it has been d�cided that and printing. this is not feasible.

In the first place, it wo\tld be so.me time before Then the Student Body could undertake such a great financial burden. a printing press is a delicate piece of machinery, which requires slc.illed hands to run and care for it.

Although we might be able to obtain the press, nevertheless, it seems that this money would be of greater use in some n-iore practical line, seeing that printing done by the students would cost more and not nearly rea c . h the standard set by a regular printing office.

As editor of the ''Clare-Hi,·· I wish to expres.s the gratitude of the Staff, for the wholehearted support given by every branch of the schoQI that has done so mu.ch to m<lke the ··c1are-H i· •' what it is.

To Mis� Clark, in the Domestic Science Department, do we especially ex.press our thanks for all that she has done to make our food sales a success. To Mrs. Garlock, our English teacher, who has done much in making th_e ''Clare-Hi'' more perfect .in its expression, and lastly, to Mr. Wood and Miss Willows for their helpful advice, it is hard to express our appre­ oi�tion•.

It is indeed, diffi_cult to single out certain 01'les for especial . es to len, d a help­ aclcnowledgen1ent when everyone was glad at all ti m ing hand.

The future can be judged by the past and present. The history of the ''Clare-Hi'' has been anything but disappointing. Speaking not only for the staff, but for the whole Student Body, I trust that in coming years, a greater interest and enthusiasm will be shown fo.r a still greater · "Clare-Hi." DARWIN

To give it a more permanent basis, the editor was placed on the executive board of the Student Body.

Two columns were given for the ''News and Views'' and it has been the attempt of the editor to put in only the most important events: athletics, social events, Christian Endeavor announcements, Di-Epsilon Forum and class functions, and also a few word,s about the studies of the students in the various departments.

There has been some talk about the ''News and Views'' being discontinued next year. This action, if taken by the Student Body, would not be to the best interests of the high school.

The townspeople who have no children want to know something about the conditions prev�iling at t�e high school. The ''News and Views'' is an asset, not a liability.

As editor of the ''News and Views'' I wish to thank a few members of the Student Body for their aid, and Mrs. Garlock, who has willingly devoted part of her time each week to the betterment of the ''News and View�:· IRVING WHITE, '22.

Among the new features of our school life this year has been the organization of a Girls' League.

The girls realized the need of some form of organization, and knowing that this has been found valuable in other schools, they decided to form such a society.

The primary purpose in our League is to promote a spirit of democracy and friendship Marion Pike, '22, President among the girls of the school. Every girl is Girls' League a member and can share in any activity the society takes up. We plan and work together as one group, and cliques are forgotten. From a common interest arises a feeling of friendship and equality, two things very v-:orth while among girls in any school.

The ideal of our League is that of service and undoubtedly the greatest service we can render will be to help the girls in our own high school group. We cannot, as yet, establish a scholarship fund. as many schools have done, but we can make e-very girl feel that she has a worth-while place to fill.

Of <;ourse we should take up some outside work, for the girls of Claremont High School want to do their share in helping the present difficult circumstances around us.

We have made a good start in following out the ideals and purposes we placed for our goal. We pledged five dolla�f} a month toward the Near East Relief Fund, and while thi� is not as much as it might be, it helps. We have also hac! some very interesting and helpful meetings, with speakers pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of different occupations.

• • In May, we hope to. have our first party or p1cn1c, Our committees hav:e been well started this year, and by next year we will be doing some fine work.

Miss Willows has been our faculty advisor, as she is Dean of girls. So long as the League is s.o fortuna t. e as to have her aid it will progress as rapidly as it has this year.

We wish to make our League a benefit to the whole school.

We place our loyalty to Claremont High before anyth.ing - else and we bac.k the school to the last I Page Thir:ty-tn,o •

lSatkttball The basketball season for Claremont High com­ menced \.vith the opening day of school.

The outlook ,vas bright, and the school, with thoughts of last year's championship season, optimistically foresaw another cup in the fold.

There was good cause for op_ timism, for in Patton, captain and forward, we had a consistent player and ster­ ling leader; in Goodnow and in Rich, we had two guards who knew basketball-and in addition, Richards, cap­ tain and for,vard of that whirlwind '19 tean1, was back after a year's absence.

Last but not least, there was a good, p 'eppy bt1nch of subs, all out for a fight to the final whistle.

All in all, Claremont had a fighting chance and she fought.

To start the ball a-rolling and lo help in t 'he choos­ ing ·of the team a number of practice games were sched­ The first was with Bonita; as both sides played CAPT. PATTON uled. many subs there was nothing spectacular and the score at the end stood-Claremont 28, Bonita 23. Traveling down to Chino, we were whipped 14 to 20, but the next ,veek lhe team staged a comeback on the same bunch and _ won, 34 to 2 9.

Then came the first league game. We traveled down to Downey, confident, but with an undercurrent of uncertainty.

It ha.d been said that Downey was good. She was good; so were we; even bette::, as tes­ tified by the final score of 5 6 to 3 2.

Mason in this, his init1a 1 game, showed up well, as did the others, and not only captured but hung o:1to a forward berth foT the rest - of Lhe seasor1.

Last year Our next game was with Norwalk on our home court.

Norwalk was the only school to beat us, and so, in anticipation of a close, hard game, the team t•rained and practiced into top-notch con­ dition. But Norwalk turned out to be not what we had e.xpected, and the game was won by us to the tune of 4 I to 8.

With this spirit behind it, the team '\.vhjpped our old rivals of La Verne, 2 7 to 1·3.

It is a school tradition that Claremont has always

doubled the points made by La Verne, and once again this tradition was upheld.

The last game of the season was the one with our friends of Bonita

Hi�h School.

Bonita had a good team and was out for blood, but we

didn•t lose much that day.

At the end of the first half Bonita was in

the lead, but in the second half the tune was changed, and Claremont played the ball as she pleased.

Score, 3 3 to I 8.

So ended the season for Claremont.

ttrach This year we <lid not put out a winning or cham­ pionship team, nor did we startle the world with our records, but we did put out a team worthy to represent Claremont High, and a team that upset a great deal of the ''dope'' of the other Valley League schools.

Last year we lost Hitchcock, Shaw, Bell, Eaton and Gardner, all consistent wi11ners, and the backbone of In forming this year's team, we had last year's team. but Captain Eaton, Goodnow, Milliken, and Sheets, ot last years team.

There were others, however, who had im­ proved greatly since last year.

The most noticeable of these were l-lc\milton, Ma.son, Bates and B. Smith-·espe­ cially Hamilton, who started in at' the beginning of the !.eason by jumping consistently over the bar at five feet five inches.

A welcome addition was Gruwell, who pole vaulted and broad jumped.

Unlike preceding years, the Val­ CAPT . EATON ley Meet was held before the Gala Meet.

As usual, ·it was held at Puente.

The track was in good conc\ition and weather fair, and except for the narrow lanes, nothing could have been better.

From the start, the keenest competition was be­ We might mention here the ''dope'' tv,1een Claremont and La Verne. sheets, issued by the Puente st1.1dents. On them they had placed Clare• mont fourth in th m.ee-t.

Enough ta-id.

At the outset of the meet, however, t'he "dope'' $heet began to turn blue, then green and yellow mixed, and then entirely disappeared.

But to 9ur part in the meet­ Goodnow v.,on the Fifty-ya rd dash in 5 :2 and the hun.dred in IO :2 ( very good time) and against some fast runner-s-.

He also placed second in the t\-vo-twenty.

Others who placed were Mason and Bates in the discus, B. Smith in the shot, Eaton in the pole vault, and Hollmann in the low hurdles.

The Gala Day meet ,vas· pottponed from the following Saturday to It was held at Alhambra this year. The the Wednesday following that. track was· not in the best of condition but was passable, one incon­ venience, however, that cost us a first place, was that the low hurdles and in consequence, Sha'\-v of were run off on a curved track, by about six inches.

Goodno\v, alt.hough the time was slo\,ver than in the Valley meet, lost the fifty and hundred t o Charles of Monrovia. Claremont was not expected to do much against the larger schools, but she put up a fine fight and took fourth in the meet.

· Girls' lSas�ball

•

• •

•

•

Last year a Girls' Baseball team was organized with May Case, '20, as captain, and it ·was planned to enter this team t'nto Valley League competition, but for various and sundry reasons the plans didn't materialize to a sufficient extent to make then, feasible.

So the mat­ ter was dropped.

Again this year the question of a Girls' Baseball team came up and again plans were made. and the plans did materialize.

Marion Pilce was well chosen as cap­ tain, Miss Hartley gave over the ph,ysica I education period to baseball playing, and assisted by Clyde Patton, coached the girls every afternoon after school.

At first the Student Body scoffed at the idea of Cla.re­ mont winning a game, but after the Do,'\"ney game the scoffing stopped and the Girls' Baseball team was backed by a Student Body one-hundred per cent enthusiastic.

CAPTAIN PIKE The .outstand.ing feature of the Do,-vney game was the ninth-inning rally on the part of Claremont. At the end of the eighth the score stood 26 up, at the end of the ninth it stood­ Downey 26,, Claremont 32.

The next game spelled a little different story, but v · .re were up against the best team in the leag\te, Norwalk, so the final score was not so sur­ prising as might be- thought-Norwalk 21, Claremont I. The enthusiasm went down about twenty points, and after the next game it went down thirty more. The game· was with Puente, on their diamond, and was a hard fought, closely contested struggle, but luck was against us and we lost-Pu�nte 12, Clarem9nt 9.

We had lost twp games and won one, the enthusiasm stood at about the fifty mark, and the next gan,e scheduled was with Montebello, con­ Just sidered one of the best, next to Norwalk. What were we to do} what wa·s done, ,ve \..·on. We found that Montebello was not as strong as advertised, but even if she had been the girls would have won, be­ cause they were out to win; and win they did-Montebello I 7, Clare­ mont 29 .

In th.e next game, we again lost-to El Monte.

It was a good game from beginning to end, but we were a little outclassed, so that at the end the score- stood, El Monte 14, Claremont 9.

The last two ga.mes of the season gave a feeling of satis­ faction to ev.ery student.

Because the games were with La Why? La Verne was Ve.rne and Bonita, but mainly because we won both. beaten after an exciting game, with a large amount of crabbing inter­ mingled with baseball.

Score, La Ve,ne 7, Claremont 9.

The game ,vith Bonita outshone all the others, from the fact that it was a better brand of bascba 11 and tho closely contested, had not the tinge of bitter­ ness exhibited in Lhe preceeding game. 'fhe final score stood: Boni la 12, Clarcn'lont 13.

This ended the season.

Claremont 1-ligh did very well, considering it was her first year of Leagtte Girls' Baseball.

She won fottT games, and lost th.rce a very good record.

The girl� showed excellent spirit, not only in the games, but also in practice, and played with the true Claremont •'Sportsman­ . ship . .

Especial n1ention shou Id be made of the batting of Hilda Gordon, Nell Emerson, and Florence eye, the fieldihgs of the latter and the playing of the t,vo former on second base and fir�t base, respectively. Also men­ tion should be made of 1'he excellent work of Ruth Shaffer, pitcher, and of Marion Pike <'\S fielder and later RS catcher, after Helen Barnett was listed as absent when she injured her knee. But the most praise should come to the team as a \�hole-a team that was an honor to Claremont High School.

1Sas�ball In the past few years, Claremont has not been very successful in baseball.

She has had good players, but for unknown rea�ons never put a .winning team into the field.

P.t a casual glance, the onlooker would probably class this year's team with those of the past; but a c a s ­ ual glance does not suffice.

True, so far, we have lost two league ga·n1es; and won but one, and will not be able to win the championship i but even at that, Claremon� may �veil rejoice, for she has broken the baseball ''jinx·• A practice game ,vith the Pomona College Freshmen started the season off.

We were defeated, but only by the score of 7 to 3. A few days later, we travelled down to the Republic, dropped them a goose egg, and came back with seven :runs to our credit.

In the first league gan1.e we played Norwalk on our home diamond. Last year NorV\ralk ran .. hog wild'• ovet. us, and s.he undo\1btedl)' nursed anticipations of repeatin'g C.APT. PATTON �he operation this year.

Norwalk returned with a vic­ tory,, but it was not coincident with her anticipations.

Our team played well, and for a time was ahe.ad, but had not the strength to keep the lead.

•

This defeat did more to arouse the enthusiasm of the Student Body In the middle of the following-, than any other incident of the .season. w·eek, we again defeated the Republic, this time by the score of I 7 to 0.

Friday we pla)•ed Puente. The game was hotly contested from the first ''batte.r; UP.•• to the last ''out."

Puente gpined her winning runs on Claremont errors. Our team had, as yet, not tig' htened up sufficiently.

Score: Puente 4, Claremont 3.

The game the following V."eek was still more hotly contested, mainly because -it ,vas with La Verne.

H. M. S. PINAFORE

On April 30, 1920, the mixed chorus successfully launched "H. M. S. Pinafore." And they· say it's the best operetta we· ve ever put on. Well, isn't it?

Maybe. But it··s a habit peculiar to Claremont to make each a wonderful success.

It isn't necessary to tell the story. Everyone knows it. But sa.y, can't you just remember the funny old admiral who was all decked out in He came full dress unifoTm, ''tne ruler of the Queen's Navee � · · on deck with one of his eve.rJast1ng female relatives hanging on his arm.

It was she who informed us that all his actions were mimicked by ''hi11 sister:s and his cousins and his aunts." Of course nobody bt1t ''Tad'' could have been the Admi·ral, and Hebe, his cousin, was charmingly played by May Case. Douglass Hodson made an ideal captain for Her Majesty's Ship, and not only did some excellent acting, but charmed The lovers, Josepl,ine, the e·veryone with that v·oice of his, as well. gallant Captain''s daughter, who deigned to love a lowly ta.r, a11d Ralph Rackstra\Ol, that .same happy tar, were played excellently b: y Charlotte Force and Sheldon Russell.

Warner Bentley took the part of the cruel sailor, Dick Deadeye, just as they were about to who betrayed the lovers to the Captain, elope. He d.id it, though, with a certain grace which is characteristic of Warner. You know what that means.

And, oh, yes, Lucy Parsons played the par.t of ''Little Buttercup."

She used to come on deck and sell ''tobaccy and peppermint drops'' and everything else, too.

The most important thing she did, though, was to save the who.le plot by revealing that the Captain and Ralph Rackstraw were not themselves, but each othe.r.

How simple. When she was young and charming, and practised baby farming, she had had charge of those two babies and had mixed them up.

So now that Ralph was really th,. captain, he was perfectly free to Butterc.up didn't mind a lowly tar, so she married marry Josephine. the Captain, and the Admiral, having been spurned by Jasephine, turned So everybody being happy, the play ended and to Hebe for solace. became a memory.

Claremo11t certainly did herself proud in the Gala Day program (as you know, this event was held at El Monte.) The committee showed But rare good sense when they chose ''The Bear'' by Anton Techov. they sho,ved rarer good sense in choosing the caste.

The story •was about a yot1ng R"\lssian widow, Mad<1me Popova, whose husband ha.d 15een killed.

So she m.ourned and mourned.

Yes, she knew he didn''r deserve it. but she'd ''bury herself within these four , walls,. -yes she would.

Ada Hand wept and wailed and stamped her pretty foot at Lyle Belsley, who entered in the role of young, Gregori Stephanovitch.

When she saw he meant it, she called him monster, a mannerless wretch, and a bear. He had a debt to pay that �ay and needed the money. His frequent and vehement ··Must l pay my mortgage, or must I not'' drew as many laughs.

All during this action, Louka, the old ma,n servant, furnished amuse­ ment by his helplessness to oust Gregori from the house.

A PAIR OF SIXES

On Friday evening, December 3, an entirly new appellation was discovered on Claremont's half-filled firmament of suc­ cesses·-··A Pair of Sixes I·· The auditorium was filled to overflowing, and those who came expecting to see the kind of play for which Claremont is becon1ing famous, fairly gasped. for the whol_e thing was perfect to a degree. Miss Mackenzie deserves great credit for her clever management.

Addison Richards and Warner Bentley as the two business partners of the Eureka Digestive Pill Company, kept t.heir audience in peals of mirth over their many attempts to get rid of each other. Marion 1-lill and Helen Emlay, as leading ladies both showed, superior ability and ,real talent in the v.1ay they acted their difficult parts.

Douglass Hodson, the la,,1yer of the firm, made an ic:leal peacemaker, and was continuall:Y' settling the quarrels of the company as well as the private ones between Mr. and. Mrs. Nettleton.

The comedy hit o.f the evening V.'as made by Kathryn Palmer in the role of the little cockney scullery maid. She endeared herself forever to the hearts of all Claremonters who saw the play, by her very clever acting.

Other parts were taken by Robert Sheets, the office clerk; Kathryn Wheeler, the young flirtatious stenographe'T; Kirby Frampton as the office boy, Lyle Johnson and Wendell Mason as two business men.

••Betty," whispered Nat to his little sister as she came in the front cloor from play. ••co see wha t 'mother ha� in the kitchen."

Betty, being old enough to be fully aware of the fact that brothers tease, utterly. ignored this grinning member of the family and walked a way in quite a d·ifferent direction from the kitchen.

Out of his sight, however, her curiosity got the better of her and s.he steered cautiously toward the kitchen, as Nat's whisper warned her she sh9uld do. Opening the door gently, she put her curly head in through the crack and peeped around.

••oh 1·• she cried before she could stop herself. Having had no warn­ ing of a nyone's presence, her mother and a rough-looking young man started. ''Come in, dear," said her mother. ··You are very quiel all of a sud­ den. This is our friend, Mr.----}·· '"Edwards," the man s�pplied and ·he shoQk hands with the decidedly sta rtled li�tle Betty.

Child-like, she was afraid of tramps, and this man, young as he ,vas, ha d the marks of one o.f the worst sort. Yet, there was a frankness and sincerity in his eyes an.d a smile that fascinated h ·er <ind n1ade her love to watch him and talk to him. Nat came in soon and as he listened t.9 .exciting sto.ries told by ''the worst-loo King tramp you ever s-a w," as he explained la ter, his hostility grew into a respect and reverence for the man who had undergone . all these experiences. Mr. Ed\"1ards told these stories with a twinkJe in his eye, which showed th.at he loved to recall even his '\vorst experiences to such appreciative listeners as he had in the two children.

Mother did not notice this and she interrupted the happy group in the midst of a thrilli·ng tale. ""N at," she said, ••adventure-loving little boys must be careful .not t9 tire people �•ith their questions on su}uects '\Vliich must be painful to recall. Mr. Edwards will have. p'lenty of time to tell you all he wants ,to without you botheri'ng him, for he is to stay with us and he]p fa�her •· a s long a s he .

•·Phyllis is m)' big sister. She is away at school now, but she'll be home soon. We �l miss her very much,•• explained Betty.

It was a bleak night and the moon was just coming over the �now­ co'vered hills. 'The tall pines stood out against the cold whiteness.

Far off to the north came the musical ho,vl of a tin1ber wolf. When it came again i t sound�d closer. Presently a great, lean, shaggy -form ,vas silhouetted agaiJ)st the ri. si_ng moon and the11 was lost in the col.d shado,vs of 'the Alaskan woods.

One da-y when I was about seve_n years e>ld, my si._ster and I planned to play a t, rick on..ou , r boy, Number 1, and so we tried.

Number I' ,vas the Majordomo, the head servant of the house. 1-Iis name wa.s Marcos. He was a rather tall, broad-shouldered fellow, but somewhat effeminate in his speech and gesture. But his honor, truth and bravery were typically and truly Filipino.

The servants were numbered according to their rank of command and care of the house. For example the Majordomo, Marcos, the Key Carrier, was Number I. He saw that the place was carefully locked at te· n o· clock ,every night, after having made sure that all the servants were home.

He would begin by locking the c.arved iron gate of the great �alk in front, and end with the servants quarte rs.

M:Y sister, like a true daughter of Eve; knowing that Number I had t.hat morning put so,me ne,::Vly-picked bananas in · the glass cupboards so that she and I could. not get them, said to me, ''Oh, Charley I I know how we can play a good trick on Marcos.•• And I answered back, ''How?•• ••1 know wh.ere he has put those special bananas for supper,·· said she. ''Well, what of it} \Ve can get some right in the yard and not get punished, either.,•• I �napped ba·ck. ''Oh, let• s have some fun an:d play a trick on him. You know l·1ow cross he gets when We g_ et a.head of him. He thinks he's so smarty because he"s been the head when Mamma ,vas a little girl. 1 just I love to" get aheac;I of him-he's so fussed ,vhen we do.''

••1•m &ame. What will w.e do?'' '!Come · on,'' she sa'id, and she took me to one end of the dining-room.

There was not a s�rv,;lnt to be seen. Then she pointed to one of the huge mahogany aparadores. These aparadores were all, glass on three sides and -were used to hold all the best china and cut glass. The shelves of this one were full of fine chinawar.e and behold, lying on the top of a set of large dinner plates. was a beautiful _bunch of rare bananas. ''There," whispered Mary, ''Let's take some of those bananas."

••why� haw}'' said I in surpris�. for the aparadores were locked and Marcos was custodian of the keys.

Mary saicl,, ''Charley, look , for- the keys.· Maybe Marcos has left them hanging- o.n the n�il behind the d.oor:," for she'd notic�d th.at sometimes he did so. Well, I looked and Mary looked but we were disappointed.

Marcos evidently had the keys safily hanging around his neck at the .,end of t'he long silver chain. ''Oh, come on, Mary, let's go bo,x-; we can't ·get those ,bananas." ''Oh, yes, I think we ean, Charley. See that-can't _you get your hand in .there)•• She pointed to a place, where o, n one side, something ha-d broken the glass. lt had been bJ'oken by my, ball� My hand w-ouldn't go in and one linge.r was-n't .Jong enough to ,reach the bananas bu..t an expedi�nt Page Sixty-six , •

flashed into my mind instantly. ''Oh, I know,· " I said, ''a stick with a sharp point I I can spear the bananas out of the aparadores one by one with it f'' I knew where I could find a sharp stick. Felix, my servantJ playmate, and l had several that Roque, the older servant who took care of us when we were playing, had made for us to use in the game of ''Indian." I ran out into the ya rd \.vhere we had a wigwam and hurried back with the sharp stick. ''Why, you can.'t get them with t-hat," said Mary, ''because they aren't cut off from the stalk.·• This stumped me only for a minute. ''Well, can.'t ] fasten a knife to the stick and ·pt1sh it in and cut the bananas loose from th.e sta1k first and then spear tl1em? •• said l. ''1 gues� you can," ans,,•ered 1\1ary. I made a success of ,fa ,stening the sharp knife to the stick and cut several bananas loose.

Then after taking the knife off the stiGk I speared a banana, which Mary took fram me. I succeed.ed in getting four bananas and we ate them, l\vo each. When I finished my share I wanted some more. So I tried to get another, but just as I had th,e banana within reach of my hand i\tlary grabbed hold of me, fc--r .she wanted the stick to try and s_pear one herse]f.

When she pulled my hand, I dropped the stick for fear of brea�:�ng the glass more, and the banana and all fell int_o the aparadore where 1 .could not get them. The:r:i we were frightened. S_he blamed me for clropping the stick and I blamed her for grabbing my We looked at each other sort of shame-facedly, and hand.

Mary �a id, ''Oh, come on, let's go box," and a\.vay we scai, :npcred, glad to forget a.J:>out the bananas.

At night when Number I opened the a.paradore to get the bananas out for supper. ·to find a piece What a surprised fellow he was, indeed, of stick with a banana on the poi-nt, and fou.r other bananas gone from his prize bu·nch.

I-le wenl straight to f�ther with his tale, but father laughed heartily, thinking it a great joke. Then he carried his tale to mother, and her attitude was quite different when she was. told. She fully realized the other side of such a joke, and we trembled in our boots. Y:ou may imagine wha't Mary and Charle)' received that night after supper.

A flunker tarried long befoTe his Latin test And thought-•"had I a book of better notes, ·'That copy tha:t the favorite reads, "'But this old scrap''-he tore and flung it on the grouQd And lowering ran away and played baseball.

The teacher's pet came worried and unprepared.

He saw the dog-eared book, unheeded Where it had been thrown and left, And ran and snatched it and with joyous shout Opened the text and studied carefully.

And so learned his Latin that heroic day.

A VACATION TRIP

Vacation time had come around And we w·ere stretched out on the ground, Just thinking wh.at we were to do To pass a week and may.be two.

T 0 plan a trip is sometimes hard, And many plans we did discard, Until at last each one did heed · lan on which we all agreed.

A p We thought we'd leave on Friday night, . nd we assembled at twelve, midnight; A We'd hired a mule and one mule more, And b(?th these jacks were very sore.

We'd set our packs and started out When one of the mules just turned. about, Our packs just slopped onto the ground When that fool mule had turned around.

We started out up Indian Hill, And there again our packs did spill.

We finally eame to Base Line Road, Where we turned west with our great load.

San Dimas Canyon we did strike, And up the trail began to hike.

We pushed through darkness straight ahead, We dared not think of home or bed.

We pushed, we pulled, we whipped those mules, lt seeme • o they knew not any rules.

'Twas here while climbing rather steep, One fell exhausted in a heap.

So now we had to stop and rest, Unpack our mules without a jest.

We built a fire and round it sat, And now and the·n into it spat.

Our jacks we rested throQ.gh and thiough, And once again this jovial crew, Began its journey up the trail And traveled over hill and dale.

The ranger said the trail was short,

We found · twas nothing of the sort, For hours passed while on we trod, With here a whimper, there a nod.

The sun came out, a ball of red, The canyon's mouth we spied ahead.

This gave us courage to proceed · With lop-eared donkeys in the lead.

And when the canyon hove in sight We knew our course was steered aright.

•

Though we could see the gulch we sought, 'Twas farther off than we had thought.

At last our efforts were repaid; Between those walls, in forest shade, We sauntered on, and on, and on; Our tired feeling now had gone.

We walked till night was drawing nigh, And there up in the heavens high We saw the stars just twinkling dim; This made us think of home and Him. We pitched our camp beside the stream, And laid ourselves to •·bed'' to dream Of home, a bed, and many eats And once again of sleep 'tween sheets.

Next morning found us up, and gay, And soon we started on our way, Through oaks, and firs, and yellow pines, To Eagle, and Gold Dollar mines.

We watched them pan the yellow gold, And soon the craze on us took hold; We thought we· d like to pan the stuff, A ·nd so we started right enough.

We found a little gold, all right, But barely did it come in sight Until we knew it wouldn't be In any ''paying quantity."

• We fixed the camp in bright arra'Y And everything did look quite gay.

And then to keep us always cool We built oHocselYes a swimming pool.

We stretched ourselves upon the ground And there we lay and lounged around.

Mosquitos soo·n were flying thick, And they sure had an awful kick.

Th.us we whiled the time away, And all the time we felt quite gay; For all this while he did not know That our grub was running low.

At last we realized the fact And on the question soon did act.

Now, some of us were home-sick lads That longed for mothers and our dads.

A.nd so it was decided that We'd leave the region of the gnat, Mosquito, and the large horse fly.

And so we bid our camp good-bye.

And thus we left our camping spot And set out when the sun so hot Beat down upon us from o'er head While up the trail, so long, we sped.

Our donkeys now were rested well.

And so we thought we'd just compel} The jacks to go and travel fast Until we str.· uck the forks at last.

Now here we stopped and cooked our meal And ate it quickly, with much zeal.

So now we curled up in a heap, And laid ourselV'.es to bed to sleep.

Next morning we were up quite soon And on our way full 8 • fore noon.

We reached our homes by 6 o·clock; To rouse our folks we had to knock, Until from bed they were aroused And • round the house th·ey soon caroused To make us breakfast, give us eats And ask- us of our · comp • lished feats.

And thus our peaceful journey came, That put us in the hall of fame, To- end with peaceful answers gay.

And 'tw.as agreed that it did pay Each one, including both the mules, A whole lot more than ninety schools.

ATHLETICS

My tennis shoes, now bring to me, And bring to me my old track pants, For tomorrow I s�art in training hard To win a letter thu·s, perchance.

No more I'll see the moon come up, No more late hours 1·11 keep; But every night 1·11 go to b.ed, By eight o'clock 1· 11 be asleep.

I will abstain from all things sweet, And so my stomach I will master; And candy l will never eat, So I can run the· fa_ster.

And every eve, I'll run some race, And to my purpose I shall holcl, ·so on the day of trial I' 11 -win Medals of silver, and of gold.

THE BALLAD OF-(?)

•

The dying fire lit up the room, Hung over it a kettle st eamed; The smouldering emb ers cast a gloom Where a pretty maiden sat and dreamed.

•

A handsome youth so lith e and gay, With easy, swaggering strid e, On purpose bent he walked that way To see his future bride.

,

Arm in arm they wandered wide Way up on the mountain sid e, Till far below th e seagulls cried Where rocks were battling with the tide.

She watched him closely at her side , And fearfully sh e s earched his face . · 'Oh, Darling, wilt thou be my bride?'' ''N ot yet. Let's leave this horrid place." · 'How now.'· His beady ey es flashed fire.

She quailed before his awful ire.

He grabbed a dagg er from his coat And thrust it thr ough h er throbbing throat.

He picked her up and flippantly He t ossed the carcass in the sea.

Then sorr ow hit him in the breastHe love d that girl quite s e. cond best.

I

•

· 'What hav e I done," he cried in grief, And hurled him on the rocks ben eath.

•

•

•

•

An.d the s eethjng waters cov eTed o er All bloo dy traces on the shore.

Whereupon Willie Awoke.
