" El Espiritu de 1925 ."

Th at name ffill a,,ay-

to us the fu ll year's work of many people.

ugge t

The annu al

board has w orked ha rd to chronicle fa ith fu lly the happenings and the

pir it of this ~chool year, but \\"e cou ld not

have published a n an nu al without th e help of man y more people.

"\Ve wond er if yo u realize of how many people.

F oremost stands the fac ult y.

lVI iss Willo"·s, Mrs. Hull,

and :\.Ir. Ew ington have go ne over every portion of t he \\·hole annu al helping to elimin ate th e countless errors that always creep in . The art work was car ried on as a part of lVIiss Greenleaf's ar t course.

Throughout the year on all

occasions the facul ty has stood behind the a nnu al. "\iVi th out adver tisi ng, El E spiritu could not be publi shed.

Is th e suppo rt of our advertisers ever ,nll enough appreciated by th e student ?

P e rhaps th e g reatest upport of all hould be that of the students.

Th e annu al is published for r ou a nd by yo u .

Now that it is ready " ·e shall co nsider it a uccess to exactl y the deg ree th at it affords you pleasure now a nd in th e year· to come.

·vve have long loo ked fo nrnrd to thi , the closing year of our High School ca ree r, which ma rks an epoch in th e li fe of each one of us. Our commencement seemed such a long way off "·h en w e entered th e High School bu ilding six years ago.

All too sw iftl y d id time fl y, and our Senior year, to w hich we have ever looked fo rw ard , has passed a a drea m.

As we think of th e expe rience of th ese yea rs many things come to mind. A s E igh th G rader we \\·e re the fi rst class to enter t he Junior Hi gh School. and in 1922 ""e were the fi rst cl ass to gradu ate fr om the compl etel y orga nized J u ni or H igh.

W ell w e remembe r th at grad uati on and th e play, " The D rea m ?ll[a ker ," w hich " ·e gave th en ! As time passed we entered more and more into school li fe , and as we adva nced from yea r to year, did ou r bit fo r C laremon t High Schoo l. In our Jun ior Yea r ou r cl ass rin gs attrac ted consid erable attention, and as Se niors " ·e uccessfull v produ ced " A M idsummer N ight 's Dream" as th e class play. This we co nsid e·r quite an achi evement. In its Hi gh School yea rs th e class has how n r emarkable cooperation. and co-opera t io n ,ms a large factor in makin g possible the success of the Senior play.

At this point, j ust when w e have found ourselve , when our, surroundin gs have beco me fa m ilia r , we must leave them ! W e have enjo~·ed ou r w ork. It ha not alff ays been easy, but \\·e have done it . A lmost too late do we real ize ho" · ffe are inde bted to th e old school ! vVe are ta ndin g at th e th res hold of a large r sphere of life. "\i\Te have passed one m ilestone, bu t a long road st re tches befo re us and \\·e see other milestones in the dim distance. Th e id ea l will fo rever be greater th an the achievement, but as each st rive· to do his pa rt in his chosen line of acti vity, the memory of our schoo l d ays, of our classmate and of our teachers ,1·ill ever hold a sacred place in our hearts and w ill remai n " ·ith us long after \ \°C have fo rgotten the abst ract knowledge ga ined here.

As w e leave, not \\·ith out reg ret , the fa miliar class rooms, our thoughts lin ger, and w e fo ndl y hope th at eve ry success ,,·ill attend Claremont High Schoo l and glorify its fut ure.

T H E ASSOC l A TED STU DE

TS

From th e point of vie" · of the var ious ac ti vit ies w hich have been carr ied on, t he past year has been a most ucce sfu l one for both the J unior and the Senior High Schools.

T his year the J u nior High took a great dea l more interest in athletics th an it has in prev ious year. . Baske tball was the firs t sport in w hich this in creased inte rest was show n and in the few games w hich we played w ith other teams our team made ra ther a good show in g consid eri ng th at we bad no coach and th at few m en came ou t fo r prac tice. Quite a number of boys and girls too k up tennis in the middle of t he year, and w hen baseball season opened shortly af terward , ba eball too , was enth u iastically fo llowed , alth ough few games of any co nsequence were pl ayed by the team w hich was organized. In all of these spo rts some promisin g material showed up w hich ought to be of some value to fu ture C laremont Hi gh athlet ic teams.

T he ann ua l Ju nior Hi gh party, given at the high school in the firs t part of the seco nd semester, proved ve ry ucces fu l as far as hav ing a good time was co ncern ed.

A pl ay was given in th e first par t of the evening w hich, though ve ry si mple, was well pre ented and greatl y enj oyed , th anks to the help w hich ·~vii s Fre nch so generou ly gave to us. Lee Ove rholtze r, l\llargaret l\!Iac L eod and Torma No rris were largely respo nsible for the success of the pa rty.

In all of its und ertakin gs the Senior Hi gh has been hea rtil y sup ported by the t hree lowe r grades . T ickets for the play and th e operetta w hich the high school presented were sold to the peop le of Claremont largely th ro ugh the effor ts of the lower classmen. In the R ed Cross drive, also, the J un ior H igh was the firs t to respond the eighth grade h avi ng th e one hund red per cent en rollment firs t .

In these various ,mys our organization helped out the Senior Hi gh and upheld the stand ard s of C laremont H igh Sc hool. We hope th at next year's Jun ior H igh will how the sa me and even greater loyalty.-B LA IR NIX O I_

THE ASSOCIATED STUDE TS As June approache and we look back over th e year, "·e recall many thing with pride. The yea 1' has been a busy one for everyone. Our acti vities have been so nume rou and va ried th at if ,n ha ve not gloriously succeeded in all of them we must remember that ours is a small school with an unusually high schola tic standard.

Starting the year with a very successfu l play, "The Big Id ea, " we raised a considerable sum , part of which was u ed to meet the deficit from the 1924 Annu al. One of th e largest undertaking of the year was the operetta , "The :H arriage of Nannette. " A new policy was instituted this year in that the Student Bod ~, managed th e operetta and received the profit . At the tim e of this writin g th e Seniors are at work on their Shakesperean play, "A Midsummer Night's Dream ." Not since th e same play w as give n ten years ago by a Claremont High School Senior Cla-s has so ambiti ou a production been attempted.

Although many of the more pro minent athletes had been lost by graduation, the lightweight basketball team was able to win with little difficulty th e Tri-County League cup offered for that spo rt.

Ano th er forward tep has been th e adoption of a revised constit ution- one which " ·e feel will be a ati factor y basis for student body procedure in the years to come.

Th e long deba ted que ti on of the a" ·ardin g of in ignia has been provid ed for in the rev1 10n.

A note"·orth y achievement of the pa t year is th e en rollment of an unusually large number in the Hon or Society. In fact our percentage of member hip is higher th an that of larger schools.

The Executive C ommittee w1 hes to take thi opportunity to thank the Student Bod y and faculty for their hearty co-operation. It is becoming more and more widely recognized that such co-operation is the most essenti al fac tor in successful acco mplishment.-BERNI CE ·w ALLER.

HONOR SOCIETY In g1v1ng an account of the Honor Society we quote fr om the A ssociated Students' write-up in last year's ar nu al. " The adoption by the Student Body of an Honor Schola rship Society was one of th e mo t important , if not the most importa nt, forward step take n this yC!ar by Claremont High School. The honor soc iety has been for med in man y of th e high schools of the state , and in every in stance seems to ha ve proven a real in centi ve not onlv to better scholarship but to a n increased inteTest on the part of the stud ents in all · chool activi ti es. \ Ne hope and belie1·e that this will prove tru e in Claremont High School and 11·e look fonrnrd to the future with confiden t anticipatio n. " A n increased interest in scho larship du ring th e year l 92+-1 925 makes us feel that th e entrance of Claremont High School into the Ca lifornia Scholarship Federation realizes in some mea ure this anticipation.

The eligibility of a stud ent for membership is decided th rou gh a point system.

Three points are given for a one, one point for a t11·0, and one point for not falling below two in a ny subject. P oints are correspo ndingly give n for out ide acti vities and ten points are required for membership each quarter.

In addition to ot her benefits, the seal of the Federation is placed upon the dipl oma of any student who has been a member of the society for t11·0-thirds of his high schoo l attendance.

The Girls' L eague has had a successful and happ) yea r. :vlrs.

Bernice Yoast's Acti vities Comm ittee has been busy, for with the co-operation of th e league it has serv ed a supper to the tea m of each sport. The luncheo n, too, " ·hich this committee prepared at In stitute time \,·as appreciated and enjoyed by t he teachers.

By mea ns of sales !ah Colloday and her H ousekeepi ng Committee raised ten doll ars for rest room furn ishings . The Schoo l Board generously gave an equ al amount, and as a re ult the roo m ha- been made at tracti ve "~ith new curtai n . T he fernery, which the committee pla ns to purch ase, will be an added touch of fr eshnes and bea uty that wi ll be g reatl y enj oyed.

The L eague has tw ice se nt flowers and cand y to the sold iers at Sa\,·telle and hopes soo n to send them everal qua rts of marmalade . No service rendered by th e girls has been more ,\·o rth w hile or more trul y app reciated. We are to have soo n a pay asse mbly for the benefi t of the Orth opaedic H ospital.

This year the " Hi-Jinx " \\"a substit uted for the "Se niorita H op.'

Arti ti programs, made by F ra nces D ean and V irginia Mad ison , served as tickets for the merry ope nin g program as well as for the dance wh ich co nclud ed this succe ful evening.

Our delegates to the Confederation meeting were Temple Stewart, J ean "\\ il kinson and lVIiss Willows. The presiden t and Bern ice Yoast repre ented us at the spri ng co nve ntion. We were proud of H azel Wheeler who took pa rt in the D eclamation C onte t and of Adelaide, J ean, and Erva, who entered th e Swimming T ournament on "\iVomen 's Day at P omona Coll ege.

Such , in brief, have been the acti vities of this happy . ear, and we h pe th at the league, in the year to come, will fi nd even greater happiness in w ider u efu ln e .

F or th e third t im e foo tball seaso n has come and go ne in the Tri-Cou nty L eague, and fo r the econd t ime C laremont has lost the champio nd1i p.

At th e sta rt of the season \\·e rece ived a se t-back when several etera ns were un ab le to report in the moleskins, but Coach Pri ce et to \\·ork to overcome the ha ndica ps, and with R obert C lifton.

CLARKH ON T 6-COLTON 19 Our sched ule was ra ther disappo inting as "·e fou nd our elves face to face " ·ith last year' cha mpio ns in ou r first game. \ i\Te went on the field \Yith the betting heav il y aga inst us, so our boys fought their hard e-t.

The fir t quar ter found our heavr oppo nents unable to make ~1ard through our light eleven , but in th e second quar ter the Colton steam-ro ller tarted functioning and chalked up ix digit . After this "·e tigh ten ed up and they stopped their adva nce and yielded th e ball to u . Then the aspect changed. '\\ eisbrod and Smi th e started down the field on long end runs. Then a beau tiful pas . mi th e to H ager , brought a touchd om1, and the score 1rns tied. The half ended with th e ball in mid-field .

In the second half, uperior \\·eight began to bri ng result , and our fight ing team bega n to "·eaken. The_ ever-prese nt Bus ell ran ninety-five yard for Colton 's second touch-down. From then on the ol d C . H . S. fight alo ne kep t the core dom1 , the game endin g nineteen to six, "·ith Claremont on the lighter end.

Al though t he victors, Colton left the field n·ith the impression th at they ha<l been ou t-fough t by a li ghter and les -experienced eleven.

CLAR E:'I I ONT 6- LA \ ERNE 0 The fo llowi ng Friday "·e met th e Brethren on our own back lot . As L a Vern e ha d bad ly beaten Coro na and Corona had ti ed the hu sky Colton ou t fi t, ,~·e seemed to be in for a ra th er tough aft ernoo n.

The firs t quarter w a- a ve ry eve n and hotly contested period , the bail stay ing in midfi eld mos t of the time. L a Verne appea red to be over-confiden t , bu t could do nothin g, and the firs t quarter ended O to 0.

In th e second quarter it eemed to be the arne story, but \\·ith more fight on the C laremon t side. L a Verne had punted from their territory and it ,rns Claremont's ball in midfi eld. Alma t any good quarterback would have simply called a li ne buck, but -Smithe proved himself better and took. the ball arou nd the end , running fi ft y yards th rough a broke n field fo r a touchd 01rn. Goa l failed . Shortl y afte r, the half ended w ith C laremont in a six point lead.

I n th e seco nd half La Ve rn e came back with determ in ation, but " ·e were not to be defeated this t ime, and fru trated all their effo rts, the game ending in mi dfie ld " ·ith the ball in possession of the B re thren.

O nce more Claremont knew she had outfought and outplayed a heavier opponent , and this ti me had " ·on !

CLAR E:\I ONT 7- C HI NO 20 The followi ng " ·eek a fa ir sized group of roo ters journeyed to Chino' battl efield to watch a game which should ( from our stand point) have been called anything but footba ll.

35

We go t a Ayin g star t in the first qua rter w hen C lark picked up a C hino fum ble a nd ankled sevent y-five yard to the firs t score of the game; t hen our w ings broke. C hin o came back st ro ng, bu t t he half end ed C lare mont 7- C bino 0.

It w as ev id ent by th e play ing in the second ha lf t ha t our team had not im bibed any " P eptona" betwee n perio ds. C hino waded th ro ugh and over our wa rr iors for three touchdo wn s. A fter w hat -eemed a cent ury the w histle blew a nd stopped th e ex hib ition.

Our defea t ca n read il y be blamed u pon the coo rdinat ion of ou r team, w hich ,,·as m uch in evid ence ( as a minus quantity ) . O u r t wo end s played stellar football , w hile J ohn ·vv eisbrod played his usual h igh class game. H O\,·eve r the one b right light of th e day was L ichty, w ho made severa l C hino playe rs ,Yish th at t hey ha d bee n pla ying t iddledy-w inks instead of foo t ball.

A sad feat u re of th e game was C lark's removal w ith a bro ken rib. A lthougll he is small , hi \\·o rk was ext rem ely good.

CLA R EMONT 7- CO R O TA 20 T hen we journeyed to Coro na for ou r last league gam e. We knew th at we w ere up agai n t a good team , and w ith the odd s against us. As was expected, our opponents wa lked aro und us fo r two touchd ow ns in the fi rst two periods. vV hen we did have the ball a poo r se lect ion of plays and poo r interference got us nowhere. T he half end ed in Corona's favor , 14 to 0.

In the seco nd half things we re slightl y diffe rent. Smithe called fo r end runs and passes , a nd w ith better interference tfi a n we saw in the first period , chalked up a touchd ow n, carrying th e ball over ·on a line-buck. Smith e conve rted. Corona, not to be outd one, came back st ro ng a nd sco red again , but fa iled to conve rt. Shortl y aft er, the w hi tie blew and preve nted furth er sco ring by either t eam. If it had not been for our nap in the fi rst pe riod , \\·e w ould have played the best brand of foo tball, but 'ifs' ca nnot be counted .

In the l ast t wo yea rs foo tball m C lare mont High Schoo l bas been on th e: decl ine. In our fi rst year we walked away w ith the championship in true cham pion ship st yle. In the second year we had fai rl y good m aterial , but st ill we end ed in the middle of th e percentage column. This last yea r we fi nally fo und ou r way to the bottom of the list . H owever , we are looking for a compl ete re ver al of fo r m du rin g th e season of 1925 . We ce rtainly shall have t he veterans on ha nd , and should ma ke th e league leade rs look to their !au rels, fo r we shall welcome back Captain A l Weisbrod, J ohn vVe isbrod , D on R eimers, H a rold H age r, H orner C larke , and H owa rd Smithe of the letter-men , a nd Ca ey J ones, E d D ew, Russell Sa nders, Casper C lemmer, and K enneth \ ,Vhiteman·. There will also be additional men fro m Jun ior High School ra nks to strength en our cham pionshi p hopes. He re's luck to the eleve n of 1925 !

BASKETBALL Once mo re w e sta rted a ba ketball sea on 11·ith but one letterman arou nd whom to build a team . At the outset of the seaso n things seemed to be piling up agai n· t us.

H o,,·ever , the boys showed g reat spirit , a nd with Coach D eJacoby at th e hel m w e made a much better showin g th an w e had the previous sea on. Captain Bob C lifton , J ohn v\ eisbrod, Al Barton, Kenneth vVhitema n, Ed D e,,·, D on Reimers ,and Bud Li chty turned out regula rl y, so we made at least a creditable showing. il1Iany practice games ,,·ere held ,,·i th nearby schoo ls, but ,,·hile the ex1 ene nce 11·as va lu ab le, th e victory ,,·as not ah,·a~·s ou rs. Neve rtheless, we ,,·o n one more

league game this year th an Brackett 's cohort managed to snag in their season, as the team came to life durin g the Coron a game and hand ed the "Circle Cit/' asp irants a decisive trimming. However, we in turn were deci ivel y trimmed \\'hen the tall and vigorous athletes from the "Town where everything grows" kind ly permitted u- to get one point "·bile th ey were ga rnering fifty-t"·o. We did not feel so ve ry dO\vnhearted over thi , a the team from Chino later dribbl ed its ,,·ay into th e Southern Californi a Champ ionsh ip.

There were no great individu al sta rs on this yea r 's quintet , but all of th em did fi ne \\'Ork. Barton , although somewhat erratic, played some games which were much above the average. Lichty, Captain Clifton, Weisbrod and R eimers also playe d ome very good ball.

Our prospects for a heavy-weight championship can perhaps be better discussed at the start of next year's season, alth ough \\'e have se eral men \\·ho will return.

LIGHT-,VEIGHT BASKETBALL \ Ve have eve ry reason in th e "·orld to be proud of our li ght-,1·eight quintet , for they lost not a sin gle game throughou t th e en tire seaso n, althou gh their schedule ,,·a· far fr om easy . J oh nson , the star of 1922-23 , wa · ineligibl e during th e first semester , so our ta ·k wa still harder.

Clevenger and Cumm ings. It might be mentioned that the fl ea-,night a rtists not only defeated rival quintet th roug hout the seas n, but repeatedly tro unced the heavyweight squ ad.

The indi vidual star are exceedingl y hard to name as the team as a \\-hole played such excellent ba ketball. Ho,1·ever, we would suggest that Captain Sh aw and "Casey" J ones played th e best offensive games. J ohn so n, when he ,Yas eligiblt , perh aps overshadowed both of th ese. ;\,IcKenna and Cle enge r, as well a C um m ings, played wonderful defen. ive games.

Our chance for another championshi p team see m quite rosea te at thi as Cummings, Clark , and J ones "·ill probably be with us next fall.

At the close of last yea r, our trac k prospects seemed rath er ·lim , fo r such sta rs a BelJ , Wh eel er, Taylor and Colladay had bee n lost to us by gradu ati on .

On lVIarch 21 st, at 1 :30, th e B-V-D artists began to fl ash past th e stands. In t he firs t ral:e of th e day, th e 880, J oh nso n was expected to break th e tape and t hr L eague record at the same t ime, but he had an off da;1 as he was beaten at the t ape

GIRLS' BASEBALL At th e starr of th e girls' baseball seaso n of 1925, prospects were brigl1t for the Claremont squ ad , as we had eight veterans on hand . With Coach Worthin gham and Captain P arkill at their head , the girls practiced diligentl y and quite successfullr. O ne set-back w hich we un expectedly received ,v as an enforced vacation of t\\· o ,,,· eeks on account of an epid emic of 'Flu ' w hich put sever al of our best players und er th e covers. O nly six games ,nre piayed durin g the season. fo ur of which were practice games. No game was played ,,·itb the girl from Chino beca use of the epidemic, but we did meet Colton and Corona.

In our first game of the seaso n we aimed a little too high. Pu ente turned out to be a tea m of tru e championship ca liber, so we were forced to be co ntent w ith th e small end of a 13 to 3 sco re. Since it wa the first game of the season, and we were playin g against a mu ch large r school, our show in g was not so bad as it might have been. Seve ral stars were discovered in thi s game. Among these we re E lva White, w ho showed herself to be very efficient with the willow-stick, and Captain P arkill , w ho did some very excellent wor k ca tch ing the throws of Erva J ohn son.

For our next afternoon 's sport we jo urneyed to Bonita to show the gir ls th ere how the game was played. We ,,·ere quite success ful , as th e score-keeper could testif y, for he used up several sheke ls' worth of sco re tablets. Once more Adelaid e and Elva demonstrated that they could kn ock th e ball as far as Babe Ruth , w h ile th e other girls played nea rly air-tight ball. vVe returned home quite content with our first bacon of the seaso n.

42

T"·o weeks later we were hosts to the girls from Covi na. Eve ryo ne was playing her best and a fine game was th e result. For six hotl y-co ntested inn ings the hono rs w ent fi r t to one -ide a.nd then to the other. O ld Jupiter Plu vius, however, decided th at both teams " ·ere too good to su ffer defe at, so he turn ed on his sp rinklers and stopped the fr ay. P ersonally , we are of the opinion th at we \\·ould ha1·e w on th e crame, alth ough the v isitor 1nre on the long end of the 11 to 9 sco r~ w hen th e deluge came . O nce m ore P a rkill and vVhite knocked the stuffin g out of the ba ll , 11·h ile Cleve nge r, Green a nd J ohmon all , n re maki ng th eir presence felt.

Th en followed a few w eek of intensive practi ce in preparation for our first league game with t he C ement-:'d ixer fr om Col ton . Everyo ne was in top form and keyed to th e highest pitch.

The fa teful af tern oon a rrived! The game had begun. and either team w ag likely to come out with the bigger share of the game, when some one on our sid e " ble11· up " an d spread th e s\l·iftl y contagiou disease to th e other member of t he team.

Whe n the ga me w as ove r and w e had a cha nce to look at the sco re we fo und th at Colton had manage d to hove ove r the run s needed to " ·i n the game by a sco re of 17 to 11.

L ookin g for reve nge after our defeat the previous week, we met the Circle-City girls on our back lot. \ ,Ve certain ly fou nd our meat, and t ru ly " R evenge is sweet! " Captain P ar kill , E lva Vvhite, Erva J ohnso n, a nd all the othe rs on th e team were tr ying their ut most to brea k the ir quot a of bats, and it w as a wo nd er th at th ey did not. The Corona fi eld ers mu st ha ve bee n remind ed of the " -ar by the eve r-increasing stream of balls which ·w ent whi ·tlin g ove r their heads. A nd then the dust cleared away, and we had "·on the game, 20 to 9 !

O ur sho" -ing for the sea on " ·as ind eed good , a- we wo n th e red r ibbo n for seco nd place, forc in g the strong Corona tea m to take third place rib bon. C hi no fi nished at the bottom of the column. It will be a great delight to w atch the performa nce of our nex t year's qu ad, and \Ye should fini sh as well , if not better th an w e did this year. Our honor " ·ill be upheld next year by Captain-elect E lva vVhite, and seven othe r vetera n who w ill probably re turn .

H ere's good luck to our girls !

BASEBALL O nce more we started a baseball season without a coach. Captain \ i\Teisbrod i. sued th e fir t call fairl y early, and und er a co llege player as coach , Cummi ng;, H age r, Barto n, Clifton , Johnson , A l \ i\T eisbrod, Clevenger, J ones, mith , and others took their first exercise of th e season. Our coach did not remain long, however, so we were again tutorless. After much delay, J ohn Price, our football coach. 11·a~ selected, and practice began in earnest . \ ,Ve journeyed to Co lton eagerly to sna tch some revenge for our last season's defeat. H oweve r, the cement-mixer. did more snatch ing th an ,ve. Again 11·e bit the dust to th e tune of 22 to 5. Bar ton and Clifton did our t"·irling in this encou nter, which "·as much to the liking of the Colton 11·illow-s\\'in gers. C7iptain \ Neisbrod did some very good \\'Ork with the stick.

T he following week w e were hosts to the bo)·s from Corona. Still tinging from ou r defe at at th e hand s of Colton , we we re reso lved to knock the very stuffing from th e bal l. vVe ucceeded , but the Circle-City boys ,,·e re better at it than \\'e '"ere , so we aga in lost . Hill , Corona's J ack of all t rades, \\' as the thorn in ou r side. \Ve can be thankful that this year is his last. Maddened by t,,·o defea ts \\'e then in rnded C hino.

Here at last was revenge, and we certainly made th e most of it, taking the Blu e and \i\ hite team into ca mp by a 7 to 3 core. Barton.

TE NIS Du rin g the tennis season of 1924 our represe ntati ves played und er a so-ca ll ed " Jin x." W e had a fairl y good team, and w ith A l Tay lor to lead us, we expected to w in the championship , but we lost it. T his yea r, ince we have ha rdl y as good a team as last yea r, we expect to lose, bu t we certainl y hope tbat our expectations w ill be disappoi nted.

A new idea is being carried ou t in ou r tenn is circle this seaso n, " hich we believe w ill work to g reat adva ntage . T he team has been cut down to six members, 11nd thus the average pl aying stand ard of the team has bee n raised.

Th is yea r we shall have Captain O li ve r in the boys' singles, A delaide P arkill in the g irls' sin gles, Donald l\licKe nna and Duncan McDo ugall in the boys' doubles, V irgini a L e G aye and A lice Fields in th e gi rls' doubles, and Ol iver and Parkill in t he mixed do ubles. W e have hopes and intentions of w inni ng the gi rls' si ngles, mixed doub les, and possibly girls' doubles. As three matches w ill win the championship, we a re goin g to make a st re nuous attempt.

Another th ing " ·hich should make u play harder is tb at Claremo nt has wo n only one cup this year-th at fo r L ight-weight Ba ketball. vVe are ou t to do our best, and wi th the backin g of the Stud ent Body , we intend at least to make a showin g, of w hich th ey and we w ill not be ashamed.

IGHT'S DREAM

Shakespeare'- " ·ell known comedy, "A l\ilidsummer N ight 's Dream ," was presented as n most fi ttin g dose to the Senior year of the class of 1925. With th e aid of th e orchest ra, Lois Bru ce's piano accompanim ent to the pl ay, th e costum es de igned

by Frances Dean , which harmonized so well w ith the delightful stage-setting designrd by H aro ld P ome roy and constructed by Frank R obertson, the lighting managed by A lbert J agnow, and the less glo rious but indi pen sable management of properties by Harold F ielder, all und er the ge neral bu siness management of Willis Wheeler, th e actors were give n a settin g which insured a succes . Miss lVIay Greenle af's a id in art istic stage decoration was invaluable ; while th e entire production was in the capable hands of Miss Catherine Worthingham , " ·hose particular abi lity in directing th e dancing gave to the play the delicate charm \\·hich is -o of ten missed.

The cast is so large that no menti on can be made of ind ividual parts, nor would \\·e w ish to sin gle out anyone. Each individual part wa " ·el l played and co nsistentl y subord in ated to the whole.

And I must co n fess th at much of wha t I do see di stur bs me not a little.

Ce rtainly I agree most hea rtily th at we find oursel ves " in a se ri es of \\·hich w e do not know the extremes. " Often I feel as th o' I had been set dow n whil e I ~lept in th e middle of an interminable road a nd left there to w aken .

THE WERE-WOLF I M nervo u ·lv thumbed the pages of the maagzin e, th en tossed it towards it, com panions in th e corner. " H ow in H ell am I upposed to r ead w ith those damn ed wolves how ling at me? " he burst out. H ad there been a nyo ne there he w ould have been surp rised indeed, fo r Jim , or J ames J. Bollin g as he had bee n known at college, was usually more soft-spoken.

J

H e did not a rri ve at this state of m ind fro m a ny sli ght ann oya nce . F ar fro m it.

A nyo ne wh o has eve r t r ied to amu se him self w ith some t we nty ancient " P opu la r l\-1 echa nics" magazin es as his onl y com pa ny can reali ze somewh at th e deg ree of Bollin g's m ental fe rment. Addin g to t hi th e how ling of the wo lves just outside the cab in in st ran ge A laska, his ten ion is beyond th e imagina tion.

Several months befo re, J im ' un cle , w ho wa a p rospecto r 111 Alas ka, had agreed to take his neph ew w ith him on one of his numerous trips. Jim , just out of D ental School, had welcomed thi s chance of getting a littl e vaca t ion, a nd at the same time ea rning enough money, pe rh aps, to et him up in practice, as he w as to get one-third of w hatever th ey made.

A ll we nt well w hil e thev we re going up the Y ukon on the little ri ve r steamer, bu t when they' disembarked about half w ay to F ort Y ukon a nd bega n their tortuous journey· by ca noe up one of th e tributaries, Bolling bega n to wish he were back in Sa n F ran cisco.

T hey· co ntinu ed for perhaps two hund red miles until they ca me to the head of the Old l\/[a n Ri ve r , w here U ncle Stu a rt's cabin w a . This had bee n built some time befo re, and he now intend ed to use it as a base for prospectin g. Th e t wo wee ks' journ ey had hard ened Jim, as he was now call ed, until he felt qu ite an experienced woodsma n .

Cachin g the bulk of their suppli e here, they continued some ten miles to the prospecti ve claim, w here they built a ro ugh shac k. H ere U ncle St uar t had noticed traces of go ld -du st a nd th ese it was their purpo e to follow up until th ey reached th e moth er lode. Their wor k progressed ra pidl y and they soon ca me u po n a stream w hose bot tom was of heav ily go ld- bea rin g sa nd . T here seemed to be no end to this t rea ure ; all that ·was needed was to t ra nsport it to civi lizat ion.

H oweve r, about this time their foo d suppl y ra n low and a tri p back to th e base cabin was necessa ry. vVhen they a rri ved they fo und that some a nimals had m ade their way into th e loft or atti c and had dest royed practicall y all the pro visions, only a lit tl e ca nn ed stuff remaining.

58

1 here ,\·as onl y one thing to be done. Sha nnon, a , mall ettlement, \\"a a difficult twe nty-mile journey over a mountain rid ge. Feari ng that if th ey took time to make the w hole trip bac k the " ·ay they had come, " ·inter w ou ld et in before they could return , it was dec id ed that Bollin g's uncle should go to Sha nn on while Jim remained at th e cab in .

The firs t two days of his uncle 's absence Bollin g sper.t in repa iring the cabi n a nd th rowin g up a n earth emba nkment abo ut three feet hi gh all around th e w alls in prepa ration for winter. Th e seco nd night, howeve r, one of the co untr y's treacherou storm arose a nd by morn in g th e sno" · w as everyw he re piled high. There was not th e . lightest let-up until the next nig ht. "\¥ hen the ll"ea th er cleare d it 1rns evid ent th at ,,·inter had -et in on Alaska's high plateau.

As Bolling spent th e· next day in the cabin he had plenty of time to ,1·o nd er what had occurred on the trail to Shann on . H e ,Yas not anxio us, th ough, for hi s uncl e had had plenty of time to arrive at his desti na t io n before th e torm descend ed . vVhile shoveling aw ay th e sno,1· in the course of fi ndin g some fire " ·ood that af ternoon, he thought he saw severa l skulking fo rms slinking off th ro ugh the woods. Remembering th e animals \\"hich had bro ken into the store room, he made sure on reach ing hom e th at his rifle w as loaded and near at ha nd.

In the hope of securing a pelt he took his gu n when he went ou t the fo llow in g mornin g. No wild life w as to be een but as he was returning to th e cab in loaded dow n with w ood he noticed behind him several wolves.

H e topped ; two of the 1rnives stopped . O ne, however, a hu ge , almos t black , g ra_; beast, ap proached u ntil he ,ms fa irl y close. Bollin g laid down hi s load slow ly, and j ust as slow ly too k hi g un fro m his back. The w olf moved not a pa rticle but seemed to be curiou ly observing this strange c reature. Cautiously Bollin g ra ised his rifle; th ~ ,1·olf watched interestedly. Just as Jim was about to pull th e trigge r, the big black a nimal gave a lig ht bound behind a bush a nd t ro tted off up a small rav in e. No np lussed at the creat ure's intelligence, Bollin g picked up his burden and returned home.

That nig ht the pack, probab ly led by this same blac k demon, approached close to the cab in and howled aw ay th e nig ht . Jim fir ed several shots at them. At first they sca ttered, al w ays r eturr:ing. Soo n, th ough, they became co ntempt uo us enough to remain . At last Bollin g " ·en t to bed bu t ,ms annoyed all night by the sc raping of exp lo rin g fe et on the roof just over his bu nk. Jim aw by their t rac k · the next mornin g th a t they had in vestigated the ca bin thoroughl y during his sleep.

59

T hey had no t gone far he discovered in goi ng on bis daily earch for wood.

Seein g them skulkin g beh ind him he wasted ma ny shots, but as they were ca reful to keep just out of good ra nge he did no ba rm to t hem. H e decid ed not to go out a ny mo re th at day as he had enough wood to last until his uncle hould re turn . The th ought sobered him , fo r hi s uncl e should ha ve been home by now. That nig ht he was ca reful in his shooting for he r ea lized th at this was a serious th ing and that he had alread y wasted too m a ny bullets uselessly.

A circle of eyes surrou nded hi cabin and there must ha ve been t\\·enty wolves in the pack, wh ich , desperate for food in th e sudden winter, had settled upon him a · their quarry. H e shot carefull y and w as severa l times rewarded by a hid eous snar lin g a the bea ts ate their dead o r wo und ed com rade. Several times he shot a t the mo nster wi th the black coat as it appeared momentari ly, but he never seemed to be succe sful alth ough he was sure he had aimed straight.

Bollin g had a stout heart, but wol e truck a primiti ve note in his ma ke-up, and his spine qui vered as he saw the next mo rnin g that th e wolves had not depa rted, but merely retreated a li t tle to adva nce again th e next nig ht.

H e did not ven ture out aga in bu t th ought to tire them by utte r disrega rd. Every nig ht, however, they became bold er and bo lder. Every night , too, he became tenser a nd more tense, fo r his un cle should have been back long ago. There was foo d enough for some time, to be sure, but foo d is not all th at keeps a man alive. Jim cra·v ed compa ny, or at least somethi ng to vary the monotony of " P opul ar l\tiechanics" am! nothin gnes .

Th at is wh y James Bolling so addressed himself as he tosse d the magazine toward;; it companions in the corn er. But that is not all.

When he had first tried to get a shot at the huge gray-blac k wolf he bad been a tou nd ed by its intellige nce. A time we nt on he ra n the gamut from curiosi t y to terror-filled hatred. Time af ter time th is sa me war th y fie nd wo uld out\\·it him. It w as not this ,Yhich made him perplexed a nd uneasy; bu t the thin g seemed human.

At first he thought thi w as his im agina t io n. A s time wen t on he became more and more convinced_ of the peculiar hum an t rai ts of thi demon. Eve n its how l at night so unded l ike th e scream of a woman , a harsh, demon " ·oma n.

Bolling had read of th e mythologica l \\-e re-,-volves. ::--l ow he kn ew of the werewolve . The onl y ti me the black beast seemed a myth \\·as wh en a bullet pas~ed ha rmles ly bet,1·ee n th ose derisive, ghou lish eyes.
