FOREWORD
As we now present this book to you for your enjoyment, we wish to- take this opportunity of expressing our thanks to those who have so loyally aided us in making this publication a credit to the Associated Students of Claremont High School. and of giving to our readers outside of the school some idea of the place which El Espiritu holds in our school life. Never before has the Annual been so heartily supported by the united Student Body and Faculty. At the beginning of the year it was felt that there was no one in the Student Body who was capable of undertaking lhe supervision of the art depart ment so that office was, for the present at least, dropped from the Board. However, Mr. Wood volunteered to give us his time and services. To him, and to his class in design, belongs the credit for the art Work which is found in this book. A few other changes were deemed advisable in the make•up of the Board. To the duties of the Editor of the Athletic De partment were added those of Assistant Advertising Manager, while two new offices were created: Assistant Editor and head of the Snap Shot Department. The wisdom of these changes has been clearly demonstrated throughout the year. The hnancial side of" an undertaking of this character is always a problem. Not only have we been able to meet the expense of publishing this book and to maintain a nominal price per copy, but also to pay a debt of $24.00 left by the Annual Board of two years ago. That this has been accomplished is largely due to the support of the merchants and tradesmen of the town, but to the members of the Student Body must go the larger share of the credit. To those who took part in the Vaudeville Program, to Ken neth Forbes, whose efforts were largely responsible for its suc cess, to the casts of "A Rose o' Plymouth Town" and of 'The Princess Bulbul." and especially to Miss Bacon, for her efficient help and hearty co-operation in all our dramatic efforts, we wish to express our appreciation and extend our thanks. The Board feels that in thus gaining the support of the Faculty and of the Student Body it has helped to further that spirit which has resulted in a successful basketball, track, and dramatic season-the spirit of working together, the · spirit of Claremont High School.

Rex Ragan
Through all these four years we have had one 1915 man of whom we are justly proud. Be sides being president of the Student Body this year, Rex has held many important offices, and has shown his mettle on the baseball field.
Elizabeth May Caldwell C. H. S. was glad to welcome May back after a year's absence at Hemet. She is the jolliest of the Seniors, always smiling and a friend of all. Everyone has prohted by her advice, given as only May can give it.
Frank Hugh Bentley Although he has joined the ranks of 1915 for the first time this year, Hugh has easily taken his place among us and has given his. whole-hearted support to school" and class affairs. He is a prominent member of Phi.1omathia.
Helen Louise Campbell
Helen, whose pet name "Skeezicks" just fits, has, de spite her shyness, won hosts of friends �y her !ovable little , ways, a cuteness all her own, and her unfailing gaiety. Not all the attractions of Pomona High could draw her from 1915, 1
C. H. S.
Thirteen
Alien Has tings
For two years Allen has been an active member of Philo• mathia and this year has made his appearance as an actor, tak , ing part in "A Rose o Plymouth Town," "Princess Bulbul," and the Senior play. "Ab" is a quiet, genial friend whom we like the more 'te know him.
Susie Case
When you 're blue, get Susie to laugh for you-ybu can nearly always do it-and you'll feel better. How could we possibly g'et along if her laughter, her good nature and finally our Josh Editor herself were missing.
Harry Prentice St. Clair
For the whole year-,. Harry has served 1915 as its class presi dent. He was president of Delta Sigma the hrst semester and is one of its best debaters. He is to be one of the four Commence ment speakers, an honor well 'deserved.
Florence Boyle M cConnel/
Florence, with the irrepres sible "kink" in her hair and the irrepressible spirits, is a valued member of 1915. She is fond of athletics, especially tennis in which she excels. We will long remember her for her bright and clever sayings.
Fom·teen
George Earle Cree
Georg·e has contributed much to the High School life both by his ability as busines3 manager of El Espiritu de 1915 and cap• tain of the baseball team, and by his personality and way of saying unexpected things which always produce a laugh.
Lillian Frances Street
We chose even better than we knew when we elected Lillian as assistant editor of El Espiritu, for her interest and efficiency have been invaluable. Deserv edly, because of her good work and loyalty to the High School, is she a C o m m e n c e m e n t Speaker. Joseph Wonsugg Lee A quiet and unassuming boy, but one of whom we are proud, and one whom we all admire. Although he has many interests outside of. school, yet his stand ard of scholarship is one of the highest in the class.
Esther Brewster Parsons
A jollier, more capable mem ber than Esther, 1915 never had. She ha:; thrown herself heart and soul into school activities and her energy and spirit are unbounded. We thank Illinois for bequeathing to us this loyal hearted girl.
Fifteen
Catherine Johnson Rich
Rich in name, and so rich 1n nature that only those who know her best can mine the wealth of friendship. feel the inspiration of her enthusiasm, and enjoy the sparkle of her wit. We are proud to have her represent us as Cqtnmencement speaker.
Esther Frances Romick
Esther in her own modest way has won the friendship of al most every one in High School. The Seniors will never forget the good times at her house, for Esther"s gracious hospitality al ways makes her parties a suc cess.
Grace Elizabeth St. Clair
Never was a girl better named, for her g·race and sweet ness remind many of us of a flower. Her natural modesty and studiousness have kept her from being a prominent member of 1915, but not from being an efficient one.
Frances Estabrook King
Though Frances is one of our rather quiet members, yet we can always count on her hearty interest and her loyal· support in everything that will advance either school or class. Her high standards have won the admira tion of us all.

Seventeen
Stuart Gladstone Wheeler Stuart has made some of the finest furniture in the Manual Training exhibits of which our High School has been justly proud. His good-nature, his readiness to help and his "stick to�it-iveness" are proverbial. • Viola Ethel W;/liamson
Viola possesses a · persever ance which refuses to be defeat ed. · A ready supporter of every thing undertaken by school or class. a devoted friend, never too busy or self-centered to lend a hand, you must know her to appreciate her.
Karl Watson } enter When you think of Karl, you think of "pep" and lots of it; you think of his efficiency as president of Delta Sigma and you remember that he is one of the best debaters Claremont High School has ever boasted.
Marguerite Neva Clevenger Always ready to help; always ready to laugh, play or work that's Neva. Always the same true loyal friend-that's Neva, C. H. S. realizes this fact, for countless occasions come to mind when her ready help was invaluable.

THE "EXPERIENCE" OF DENIS
It was a bright, crisp December day, the kind of a day when one must move briskly. The ground was thickly covered with high drifts of soft, white snow. The bare trees were heav ily laden with the cold, glittering burden and swayed to and fro in the sharp wind as if to keep warm. Every one was busy, either with work or play. There was no loitering on the campus of the small eastern college and academy. The girls and boys walked briskly to and from their classes, and those who were free for a time went noisily down �o the frozen lake with their skates over their shoulders. The air was filled with the chirps of the tiny winter birds and the merry shouts of the skaters. The gong at the academy sounded for the change of classes and soon the campus was filled with scurrying students. Those who were free for the rest of the morning dropped their digni £.ed manners and with zest snow-balled each other. The whi:: zing' of the white balls cutting the air and the squeals from those who had been struck by the cold mass drowned all other sounds. Among a merry group bound for the lake a boy and girl were especially noticeable for their funny jests and their teasing manner. .. "Hurry up, Lucile," cried the boy as the girl stooped to pick up another handful of snow. ""I'm coming, 'fraid cat," answered Lucile. "'So is this snow ball. Just see how round and soft it is, and cold, too. Wouldn "t it feel just hne sliding down your neck." The tall, hrmly built youth dodged as the ball came whiz=ing through the air, but he dodged too late, and the cold snow hit him hard and knocked his cap to the g'round, bringing' to light a thick crop of very red hair. His eyes sparkled with mischief as he bent his tall form to pick up the cap. 'TII get even with you, young lady," he called. "I have Thirty-nine
a plan already.
Now do hurry or we"Jl not have long to skate."
"Well, if you're in such a hurry I'll even race you to the
lake," and picking up her skirts, L�cile set out, her hair flying and her cheeks rosy.
But the long legs of Denis quickly caught
up with her and they came together, breathless, to the lake. They stood watching the skaters as they got their breath again. "Crickets! but doesn't this remind you of the lake at home? And look at Jack there, cutting capers!

They were a lively and graceful pair as they skated along
side by side.
They had grown up together, time and again
helping each other out of scrapes.
They played such tricks as
they wouldn't think of playing on any one else and to tease
each other was theii= greatest delight.
Denis usually got the
best of Lucile and was always thinking of something ne� to
provoke her.
Just now his merry grey eyes sparkled with mis
chief and contrasted with Lucile"s dark, moi::e sober, ones.
His
red hair, which had earned for him the name "Carrots," seemed less red beside Lucile's brown.
The saucy tip to his nose some
how bespoke very strongly his dislike for study and his fondness
for pleasure.
This fondneSS for pleasure, however, had caused
him to fall behind in his sh..idies and consequently he was now a year behind the more studious Lucile.
They had skated nearly an hour when the g·ong sounded for
lunch, and they went quickly to the shore and took off their skates.
"Geel but I'm hungry:• said Denis as they started off for
their rooms in a great hurry.
Then with his eyes asparkle he

Jack also thought about the same thing of Lucile, but he kept on talking and laughing as though he was having a good time. Lucile was not to be outdone, and seemed at her best. Many were the remarks on her jolliness and prettiness. On passing Jack once more, something he was saying caught her ear and she stopped. "What would you think of a girl who promised to go with a fellow, and at the last minute sent word she was sick, and then came with someone else?" "Why;• exclaimed his ·companion, "I think that is perfectly contemptible. But none of the•girls in our class would do that." "Wouldn't they?" asked Jack sneeringly.

"Why, I did no such thing l You saw me this afternoon and I wasn't sick. I don't see what made you think I was sick.

I thought it rather sudden, but I thought that you at least told the truth." 1 this time Jack plainly showed his anger, � Miss Loring,., "you sent Denis over to my room this evening saying you could not go, but that I was to go anyway." The two stood looking angrily at each other for a few minutes. A thoughtful expression came into Lucile's eyes an.:l around her mouth. Suddenly a light of understanding flashed over her face. She gave a little skip as she exclaimed, "I have it! Oh, I have found the solution. How dumb I was not to think of it before! I just know it was Denis at some of his tricks. He said yesterday he had a plan for getting even with me for several things I had done to tease him. He looked so mischievous the last two days, but I never suspected." In an instant Jack saw what Denis had done. He wished to find that young gentleman and settle with him.

Meanwhile, Denis had seen all that had happened.
As he
saw the two leave the room he decided he had better disappear.
He started around the corner only to run into the two looking for him.
Such a stormy interview followed that Denis still
shakes when he thinks about it.
He had never seen Lucile so
angry, and it was many a week before she took him back as
her chum. And never again did Denis go so far in his jokes. He had proiited by experience.

she g'ave a forbidding', sug'g'estive sco�l. The hall rent was long' overdue, and Mrs. Adams and Mary had had difficulties con• cerning it that morning. In the close, dark little room that was Mary's home, she pulled off her hat and sank down wearily on the end of the bed. Would the hungry feeling' never stop? Again she saw the dazzling apples, and smelled their keen tartness. She gritted her teeth and walked over to the tiny mirror. Painfully, slowly, Mary goaded her face into the sem· . blance of a smile. Then tragedy £lied her eyes and she moaned, "Oh, it's no use, no use!" The light on the corner came on and threw in a garish, yellow stream. "Tm so hungry, so hungry," cried the girl. Then, "How many days can one go without f"ood; how much long'er will Mrs. Adams let me stay here:. will the shipping firm give me a place after all?" These were some of the thing's Mary had to ponder out, so, for a long time she sat by the window, unconscious of the Saturday night b:ustle below. Then in a Hash, from nowhere, came an idea. Mary reali=ed that it was a great idea, one to grapple with. if not to use. She would rewrite a story she had once read and send it to a pub· lisher ! He would buy it, perhaps, and then she need not be hungry. "Oh, oh.'' she cried, "I must have something to eat, even if it is only a little piece of :bread or a tiny, tiny sip of coffee." Driven by this stern need, she took a pad of paper and pen and ink and crouched down on the floor and wrote and wrote and wrote. It was a strange story for a girl like Mary to write. It was a tale of g·ay Parisian life, of artists and sculptors and musicians. The story which she had read long ago came back slowly. Touches of her own cleverness flashed out and gave a sparkle to the romance. Finally she finished and read it critically. With satisfaction she slipped the pages into an envleope and wrote an address on the outside. It was late: she could tell that by the street sounds below, but with a gay, half-coquettish toss of her head, she skipped down stairs and put the manuscript on the hall table, ready for an early riser to take to the box. Then she went upstairs again, and snuggled into bed.
Outside a tire puncture sounded loudly and a woman cried out in dismay,· Mary woke, opened her eyes, and groaned. She realized what she had done. She sat up in bed. ""I must get up and burn that story," she said aloud. She

put on her shoes and threw a blanket over her shoulders: then silently, a hunched little figure, she crept down the stairs. Through the high narrow window of colored glass came a soft glow which dimly brightened the stairs, meagerly red carpeted and worn through long since by many up-going and down-coming feet. Mary nearly bumped into the hall hat rack. Breathless, she hurried on and saw, at last, the dim outline of the table. She fumbled over its surface. A felt hat, a paper knife, two postcards, a library book were the only things there. There was no letter. "Maybe it fell to the lloor," whispered Mary, so she stooped and groped over the carpet with eager fingers. But no fat en velope was there. It was gone. She stood da:z.ed and helpless in the dark. Her whole being was filled with remorse. She had robbed another. She had been dishonest. She had sent another person's thought as hers, in her name. Mary dragged up the stairs, opened her door and sat down on the bed. The night was chill and sharp, but she sat there, unconscious of it all. .. I'd rather starve and free:z.e and be beaten to death than to steal. Oh! Oh! I didn't know what I was doing. I'd rather· sleep in an alley without a bite to eat! What shall I do, what shall I do!" A street car clanged past, sounding fearful in the night stillness. Far away a fog horn 'in the harbor boomed. Half an hour later the clock in a nearby: tower struck four. A milk wagon rattled over the cobblestones. In the Myers Street boarding house Mary was still sitting on the bed. She whis pered scathing remarks to herself. Her hands were icy and moist. Forty minutes later the little hgure was curled up on the bed, fast asleep. "Good morning, Mrs. Arthur. It promises to be a delightful day, doesn't it? So bright and sunny!" The fat clerk's voice bellowed out and was followecl by a chirping feminine voice. Mary awoke and frowned. She remembered. 'Tll get up and get the manuscript before the reader gets it," she resolved. So she began brushing out her hair. Mrs. Adams, hair curlers on end around her ears, poked her head in the door. Mary drew back. Did they have to repeat yesterday's argument again today? "Mrs. Adams, I can't do-," began Mary. But that singular woman's manner was entirely changed. She smiled and handed an envelope to the girl. It was from the shipping hrm announc ing that they would engage her services as stenographer begin ning the next day. Forty-five
"From my new employer:• Mary explained listlessly. ..The rent will be paid as soon as I get tke money." Mrs. Adams closed the door respectfully. Mary did not brighten, There was an odd, sharp little pain in her heart, but no joy at the prospect of having money, some thing to eat, or even to be sure of a bed. She was a criminal, and before long she would be a confessed criminal. There were dark circles beiteath the girl's eyes, and her lips were colorless. A heavy step came up the stairs. "Mrs. Adams again," she groaned. "'Why can't that woman stay down in the kitchen." ..May I come in again?'" called the woman. "I forgot to give you something." "Come," Mary responded faintly. "The clerk found it on the table last night-, you dear child,-why, what is the matter?:' "Thanks," murmured the girl. It was a fat white envelope, addressed properly to a city publisher, sealed properly, but stampless !

INJUNS Wun day when mama an• papa were gone tur the sity, Billy an' me thot we'd play injuns. Well, the furst thing tur do wus tur look like wun. So we went up tur sister Franseses room (she'd gone ridin' with her bow) an' seatin' ourselves so's we cud see ourselves in her mirur, we begun. Furst we tyd our hare up with one of her hare ribbons, so's it ud look like a scalplock, an' then we tuk sum red stuff we found on the tabel. an' put it on fur war paint. It stuk on fine, an' made us look quite like real injuns what you read about in storys. Well, then we went down stares an' out tur the hen coops tur get sum fethers fur our hare. We couldn't find any loose wuns, so we had tur pull sum out of the rooster (purty paneful proses I gess, anyhow he made a purty loud noise while the operashun went on). Well, after we'd got the fethers licksd in our hare, we tuk off our cotes (caws injuns don't ware cotes, you no) an' put a hole lot of mud on our frunts and backs tur look a hellthy brown, We wus all reddy now, 'cept fur our weppuns. Fur these we used our pea•shooters, witch were just as good, after we'd got a supply of peas from the garden. Bein' as we· wus all reddy now, we set out fur the woods which wus back of Billy's house. On the way we had tur go thru Tucker's pasture where they,kep a most feroshus bull. We were awfully brave (as real injun� are when they meet an en imy) an' wawked rite across in frunt of the grate big bull. Everything wus all rite till we wus rite skware in frunt of it, an' then the bull looked around at us as if tur skare us, but we weren't skared.

When we wus rite neer tur the woods we saw a most lushus ripe water melon lyin' only a few yards tur the left of the path. Altho it was in a held, we wus so hungry we started fur it anyway.

"He doesn't know her," they said solemnly, and neither
prayers nor threats could make them say more. Again that night at supper some one
asked
what

Patricia's costume would be, and at Kenyon's in1uiry of "Who
is Miss Patricia?" they looked at each other and smiled.

Then his sister answered, "Why, Patricia is-, she's just Patricia," And the rest of the party solemnly declared she was, and that he would know her soon enough, At nine o'clock weird hgures began to assemble at .. The Oaks." There were clowns, Indians, court ladies, Puritans, and every �th,e;:_,,s:haracter imaginable. John, much to his wrath, wor.e a coloni.�l costume and a powdered wig. - "'Gi-v.e. me li-berty or give me death," he whispered to his sister while waitirnt for the guests to arrive. But alas! the hrst wa�. as impossible as the last. · The guests were almost all present, when Kenyon heard a buzz of admiration, and looking over the crowd he saw a young woman in a jewelled gown, with her escort, enter the room. "Solomon and the Queen of Sheba," announced the herald. John gradually made his way through the crowd and bowing low, asked the Queen for a dance. She replied that her card was full except the last dance, which he might have if he wished. That she assented so readily made John believe that she was his sister's chum Eleanor, but when he asked his sister she pointed out Eleanor as another character. Then he was all aglow with curiosity. Who could it be? Kenyon never remembered the rest of the evening. The remaining time was a haze. He remembered dancing with one girl and then another, but what stood out in his memory was that last dance. It was near midnight when John went to the stranger. They danced in silence, Kenyon under the spell of her black hair, sparkling with jewels, her charming personality. The clock struck midnight and the guests began to unmask. The stranger held out her hand to him, and in an instant was g'one. Kenyon looked around bewildered and at his hand where lay a spray of purple heliotrope. She was gone, whither? And his sister standing near, smiled and said, ""That was Patricia." The next morning Kenyon rose early. He wanted to go down on the rocks and think, to think about things, about last night. Then, just as he started down to the bluffs, he looked up and saw his last night's a't!quaintance. "Good morning, Mr, Kenyon," she said. ""Are you going down on the rocks, too?" Of course they went together. What else was there to do? What else did they want to do? But-"Pleasures are like pop pies spread," as Kenyon reflected afterwards. They had hardly been together half an hour when they heard a gay voice behind them. '"Good morning, Miss Scott. What an early bird you are I But have you forgotten your engagement with me?" She introduced Kenyon to Mr. Lambert and made her exFifty-one

SUCH IS
LIFE!
It is a fearful and wonderful process, one worthy of being approached with fear and trembling. this having your picture taken. Think what an awful step it is, how fraught with sig nih.cance. You are having your face perpetuated on paper with all its expression of you, to be surveyed and commented on by future ages-in complimentary terms let us hope. For nothing escapes that terrible device before which the photographer makes us sit with the rigidity of a board. Oh, if we had only our friends and mirrors to tell us how we look. Then might we pass through life in blissful ignorance of our- real appearance. A friend always thinks you look per fectly lovely-or says so, which is the same thing. Yes, and mirrors as well as friends are· flatterers. A mirror never dis closes to our horrih.ed eyes what.� camera does. At least some times when we look in a mirror we appear half•way decent. But, oh, those proofs that are sent to us with the mocking state·• ment, "Your proofs are very good," After all our pain3 and troubles of balancing perilously in one position for hours while the photographer danced around the camera, after all our tilting of our chins in all positions to please that most particular of men, after setting our features in wha_t we fondly regard as a pleasant expression only to be told to ·look a little pleasanter, after striving to follow his advice and as a result grinning like a Cheshire cat and then having to exercise great will power and use up valuable hours in ass.urning a less delighted aspect and no doubt winding up by looking like a martyr, after all this what do we get? The most awful looking things imaginable! Truths we never dreamed of before are thrust in our faces! We gaze in horror-struck silence. Then to our sympathetic friend gazing over our shoulder we utter such exclamations, "Look at that nose! You had better be thankful that you haven't one like that. My dear, why, how awful! Look, one eye looks sidewise and the other up l And all those freckles, why, I never saw all those before, and I thought I had counted every one. And that mouth! In this picture it is the si::.e of Fifty-three
a button,, and in this it stretches from ear to ear. Oh, what a fright l" And so on and so on. It is a good thing that the phot0grapher is a merciful man and in the hnal result manages to conceal the btighting truth so our descendants will never know quite what their ancestors really looked like and we ourselves may forget in time.

THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS The Associated Students of Claremont High! With what increased enthusiasm and spirit do we speak those words today! "Why?" some one will ask; and the answer will come, "Go to a rally: then to a game and you will see that every one has the true High School spirit. You go, and do you £.nd that true? Oh, yes! At the rally you see eager speakers inspiring the Student Body with the enthusiasm which they themselves feel. Under the leadership of Flinspach, we make the walls echo with our yells for the team, and we leave the rally impatient for the g'ame. Then look at the g'ames l On all sides are enthusiastic rooters who do not hesitate to give the team the support which it needs. It was this enthusiasm, coupled with the splendid work of the boys on the team, which so nearly won for Claremont High the championship of the basket-ball league. However, the Student Body does not slop al this. The same enthusiasm which is shown at our games is also in evi� dence in the support of our High School plays. In "'A Rose o' Plymouth Town," the entire Siudent Body, con£.denl that Clare mont High could put on as good a play as any high school, worked for a large crowd, and we were not mistaken in our judgment nor disappointed in our efforts. The auditorium was full and the audience well pleased. The ringing applause that night when the spot light rested on the High School pennant was convinc ing proof of our school spirit. In the various sales held during the year for the beneht of the Annual and Athletics, the Studeni Body has never failed to do its full share. That is what counts; the support, not of the few, but of every member of the Student Body in every thing undertaken for the benehl of the High School. In former years there has been more class rivalry than school spirit; class games seemed all important, and school games lacked support. But this year classes have merged into one united whole, and we have shown ourselves and other schools that Claremont has real school spirit. -Daisy Ernst, '16.

PHILOMATHIA This year has been successful in every way, and we have
kept faithfully the g'ood reputation handed down to us by our predecessors.

SIGMA
The Claremont High School Debating Society, or Delta Sigma, as it has now come to be called, was organized in 1913. Since that time it has steadily prog·ressed and now has estab• lished a splendid reputation in Claremont High School. The past year has been a most interesting' and successful one, being enlivened at all times by an intense, friendly rivalry between Delta Sigma and Philomathia. This rivalry took the form of a series of three debates between the societies. Although de feated in the series, we can justiy say that we lost nothing except the title, but rather added to our reputation and we sincerely hope that next year will see a continuation of these debates, and you may be sure that Delta Sigma will be on the/ job and will fight hard to win. Great credit must be given t6 the two members, Karl Jenter and Harry St. Clair, who{e splendid work in these debates has been highly appreciated by the society members. Both these men, being Seniors, will not be with us next year and their loss will be distinctly felt. The meetings of Delta SigJT)a are held every alternate Mon day and are always the scene of m�ch spirited discussion over various questions which have aris.en in the foreground. It is the custom to hold each year a series of one man debates for the championship of the society. Much pep and interest in this was shown by the members, and J enter finally landed on top of the pile, with St. Clair a close second. After the regular busi ness and debates are over the entire society partakes of a "feed" furnished by a committee, and a_.general good time is enjoyed by everyone. At certain times o{ the year a privileged few are admitted to the society and after their admittance they are put through a program of stunts especially designed and concocted for their beneht. In March, 1915, the societ; insignia appeared in the form of stick pins, the two Greek letters "D'" and "S'" being used in a monogram, and it is admitted by everyone, that they are, gen erally speaking, "some class." That the year has been a suc cessful one we know, and we hope that next year will prove even more successful and prosperous.

LAMBDA DELTA KAPPA What jolly times that name recalls! First come the thoughts of punch and toasts; of lectures and p-apers delivered by our leading members when we were only the Spectator Club, composed of the junior English class; and last, but not least, of our Madame Butterfly. more prosaically known as Miss Lock wood, whose intense and sympathetic interest made possible the society of today. Then com� the more serious and satisfying thoughts of the Lambda Delta Kappa of today, of the thing's that we have learned, of the thing's that we have accomplished. We began the new school year with Lillian Street as our able and enthusi astic president, and at the hrst meeting, to which every Senior was invited, "The Mouse Trap," a farce by Howells, which may well be called "screaming;• was given by the charter members. After the new constitution had been signed, we indulged in punch and toasts again, which reminded us all of old times. In the following meetings, held twice a month, each evening was given over to the study of some modern poet, dramatist, or novelist, among whom were Van Dyke, Galsworthy, Stephen P h i. llips, Jack London, Zang'will, D'Annunzio, and Bernard Shaw. These meeting's were held at .the High School or, in several cases, at the home of some memb.er of the club, and there was nearly always music to make the evening more enjoyable. n .. Turn Him Out next appeared, a farce which convulsed the audience. This :h.rst audience was, alas I denied the added attraction of the ""narrow escape of a suffocating'· actor:• the thrills of which a Monrovia audience later enjoyed. A part of .. Joy," by Galsworthy, was next given, with a cast large enough to allow many members to participate. .: At the end of the :6.rst semester, Catherine Rich was chosen to follow Lillian as president, and the Seniors, according to the established custom, opened the gates of their society to the Juniors. After the usual prog'N.m, the event was celebrated by punch and wafers, but alas I sans toasts. Within the last few weeks the Seniors have witnessed a play managed and acted entirely by the Juniors, and to these same Juniors we entrust the future of Lambda Delta Kappa, from whose active membership we Seniors are so soon to depart. May success be theirs!

The Kukumogna Camp Fire Girls were organized by Miss Nellie Storrs in 1913. The idea of a Camp Fire proved so inter esting to the girls that twenty joined. After they were orga ni:z.ed, Miss Ruth Neely was chosen as guardian and work began in earnest. In the summers of 1913 and 1914, two weeks were spent in the mountains camping. Long side trips were taken and every minute of the time enjoyed. The camp life constitutes a large p�rt of the Camp Fire, because a great many honors may be earned in camp. The camp hre is the symbol of the organization and whenever it is possible meetings are held out of doors. The girls are encouraged to be out of doors and many health credits may be earned in this way; also bY Studying nature credits may be earned. In the fall of 1914 Mrs. David Crawford was chosen guard ian, as Miss Neely could no longer spare her time for it. The first thing we did was to have a "get-acquainted" party. This was at the College Gym on Hallowe 'en night. Invitations were sent out to as many boys as there were g·irls, and the Gym was decorated in tall rustling corn stalks and s�ooky jack-o '-lanterns. Appropriate g'ames were played, and all had a very merry time. Huge dishes of popped corn and apples were to be found in all the nooks and corners. When no one was able to eat more of these, the College Sophs, uninvited, came in and helped them selves to what was left. Pumpkin pie a la mode ,..,· as served just before we went home. Early in December a council hre of Ramonache, Wawatas see, Teratoma, and Kukumogna Camp Fires were held at Chaffey Union High School. After a supper of hot tamales, all assembled in the g·ymnasium and a very interesting talk was given by Miss Wood, formerly of Green Point, New York. Most of the girls are ,:v orking· steadily now in order that they may attain the highest deg·ree before they graduate. This year has been recorded as a busy year for the Kukumogna Camp Fire Girls, but all expect to accomplish more next year. -Theresa Robinson, '16.

HALLOWE'EN FUNCTIONS Senior The class of 1915 has always been noted for having good times. True to past reputation, they made Hallowe"en a jolly success. They assembled at the Romick bungalow in high spirits. Upon their descent from the window sill, the hostess, gowned in white sheeting, gave them a warm, "vibrant"' wel come. Decorations and semi-darkness lent an air of mystery. The games and stunts were mighty clever, and oh, those eats l Sweetest of cider, delicious pumpkin pies and hot chocolate with doughnuts. No wonder is it that they think of petitioning the F a.culty for an extra Senior function.
Sophomore .-
The Sophomore g �rls enjoyed a picnic on Hallowe 'en at the home of Dorothy Case. The girls were greeted by the glaring faces of jack-o"-lanterns grinning from the front porch and win dows. The picnic supper was delicious, the out-of-door games having added to the girls• appetites. The evening was spent in playing more lively games.

When soda-pop with apples and ginger-snaps appeared, the climax was capped and the fun waxed fast and furious the evening through.
So,f,homore Progress,'ve Party On the evening of November 19, there was a Sophomore progressive party. A few games were played at Dorothy Moles' and then partners were chosen to go to Edith Gillette's. Here a "Floral Wedding" and "Honey-moon" took place, after which refreshments were served. Eugene Platt, as president of the class, was hon0red by having a high chair and also a bay spoon with which to eat his mug of chocolate. The party was voted a decided success.

Junior Party
The Juniors came together on December 19, at the High School where a cafeteria dinner was served. After this they (or at least some) prog'ressed to Lois Peck's home, and kept on progressing at a progressive peanut g a _me. This must have been very interesting, for some reason or ·other, for they played it all evening. A very good time was reported.
Philomathia Party
The Philomathia boys entertained their-:girl friends on Feb ruary 5th with a delightful party at the High School, Miss Bacon and Mr. Payne being the chaperones. After amusing games, brick ice cream and wafers were served. Every one reported a lovely evening', and formed the best opinions of the Philo mathia Debating' Society.
Junior-Senior Party
"Saturday's the day, the thirteenth's the date, Seven-thirty is the hour, now please don't be late." This was the invitation from the Juniors to the Seniors at Valentine time. The party took place at the High School, and such fun! Cupid had to do some guessing to keep up with those "Proposals" and all the other Valentine games.

Delta Sigma Party On Friday evening, March 26, the young lady friends of the Delta Sig·ma boys were royally entertained at the High School. As the girls probably would never have had the privilege of attending a Delta Sig·ma meeting, they felt quite honored when President J enter turned the party into a meeting. Following the clever speeches by the members, the evening was spent 1n a jolly good time, after which refreshments were served.
S eniorita H o,f, That longed-for Seniorita hop, devoid of every dudish fop., Came on November twenty-hv"e.

Downey came to Claremont. The boys' g'ame was easily won by Claremont by a score of 38 to 6. The girls, however, lost their game, but under the splendid coaching· of Miss Bacon, the team came back strong and won their next g'ame at Bonita. The next boys' game was with Bonita. Just before this game Hicky turned in his suit and threatened to quit. Coach Davies was very much frightened at this turn of affairs and spent a sleepless night. The next day, however, Hicky came around and played in his old style. He did this twice more, but Coach Davies was not scared for he knew what Hicky would do. We had a big rally before the Bonita game to get lots of pep, and we got it, for the next day we went to Bonita in autos or anything else available. The Bonita players had fast team work and our men feared them. The game started and the ball was carried hrst to one end of the court and then to the other. At the end of the hrst half the score looked doubtful. Coach Davies must have put the hghting spirit into the fellows for ,.vhen play was resumed they started things with a rush. The ball was centered: Hicky tapped the ball to Red: from Red it went to Platt: from Platt back to Hicky. "Thump! What's that noise?" Bonita girls, "Oh, that's the animated string bean throwing baskets" (meaning Hicky). The gam·e surged and £owed on, and when the whistle blew, Claremont was at the head of the list; score 19 to 14. Then the Claremont rooters let loose with cheer after cheer and started for home. Such a noise was never thought possible by Bonita, but Claremont showed them that we had all the old pep in the world. The girls now thought that it was time for them to win another game, so Norwalk's team came up to give battle to them. Under Captain Daisy Ernst's leadership, our team was able to

snatch a victory from them. The bo:ys turned out in force and such phrases as these were heard,�"Go to it, Ada." .. That"s it, Nettie, knock her down." Next came the boys' game with Montebello. It was not thought to be a hard game, but the Claremont rooters turned out in a body to give the team support. The game was easily won by our team; score 29 to 16. The next Saturday Clare mont's two teams went to Citrus. We had a big rally with a very instructive exhibition of the team in action. The next day we went to Citrus in Mr. Miller's big truck, and it was loaded down to the axles. With all the pep developed on the truck the teams could not help but win. The girls took their game in fine style, and the boys also won theirs to the tune of 23 to 21. It was very exciting from the start to the finish. This game ended the boys. season, but the girrs had one more game, with El Monte. They played this at El Monte and much to our sorrow lost it. But it was hard fought, and a ,vinning' loss. By counting up the boys• g·ames won and lost, we found that Claremont was Second for the championship, having lost only their game with El Monte. We are well satisfied with the showing made by the team, for this is the hrst year that Clare mont High School has really gone into basketball in earnest. In summing up the season. we hnd that both the g"irls' and boys' teams had everything but experience. The Student Body awarded letters to the two teams, Captain Platt and Captain Daisy Ernst presenting· the�.

BASEBALL AND TRACK Claremont High School started baseball this year by playing off the clasJ g·a:.":.1es. The hrst g·ame between the Sophs and Juniors resulted in a victory for the Juniors: score 12 to 8. The g·ame was hard foug·ht and very interesting· from the spec tators' view roint. Hickcox and Kim were the battery for the Juniors, and Hicky had something· on the ball all the time. Allen and Gardner were the battery for the Sophomores. The second g·ame between the Freshmen and Seniors ,vas won by the Seniors: score 13 to 4. McG!"ellan had stuff on the ball for the Freshmen, but the Seniors \.vere too much for them. Cree and Gardner formed the battery for the Seniors. The next game, behveen the Sophomores and the Seniors, was won by the latter: score 13 to 9. It ·was very hotly con· tested from the start and the outcome looked doubtful until the game was finished. In the ninth innin_g·, however, the Seniors rallied and took the game. The next g•;me, beb.veen the Fresh men and Juniors, was won by the Juniors to the tune of 7 to 4. There was nothing sensational about the game, and the audience stayed to the finish to be courteous. Next came the Junior-S�nior g·ame. The Juniors made a poor start, but after the end of the hfth they settled down to ·work. But it was too late to ·win the 1::(ame, and the Seniors came out ahead: score 14 to 8. This game made the Seniors the champions, but the Sophomores and Freshmen ,vanted to show their strength and so played their last game. It was a good one, and it showed up some big league style of playing. Frequent little outbursts of rain made the g·ame much more interesting. The Sophs at last ,von to the tune of 7 to 5. This clash ended the class games and our energies were turned wholly to track.

Goach Davies put the track fellows through a vigorous t�aining. The next Saturday a few of the fellows travelled down to Citrus. The meet there showed the Claremont fellows that they had some good material and so Coach Davies put them through an other week of hard practice. The big Y. M. C. A. meet was held at Monrovia on the next Saturday, and Clare mont sent down it.5 full team. Considering the number of big high schools entered in the meet. ·we did very well when we came throug·h with 18 points. Sugg (Claremont's track team) making 14 of them. He won first place in the shot put, second in the fifty and hundred, and sec· ond in the discus. Stover picked out third in the high jump, and Platt won second in the broad jump, making a splendid leap of over 19 feet. The other Claremont aspir• ants were unable to snatch a point in any of the other events. Monrovia and Al. hambra fought it out for hrst. the former finally winning the meet and the handsome Spalding Trophy Cup. In the evening· a vaudeville program was g·iven, Claremont, Al hambra and Monrovia giving little "spats" (we all remem· ber those "spats"). After these stunts a few good speeches concluded the show. Owing to a break-down of Mr. Miller's truck at Glen• dora, the Claremont rooters were compelled to co:nplete the trip by trolley, arriving

"From the neck down, a man is worth about $1.50 a day, but from the neck up-ah, that's up to you."
First day of school. Miss Willows: "Mr. Maynard, where does the accent fall on a word?" "Dippy": "I think it falls on the peanut," (Apologies to Miss Willows.) Florence McConnell, in Physics: "I never was such a dunce 1n anything in my life," Grace Ingham: "How could you expect to be anything else?"
Rex: "Gee! I wish I was built like Allott." Louise, who stalks beside him: "Don't! It's bad enough as it is."
Mr. Palmer, in U. S. History class: "The brewing compa� nies usually put their bottled products in bond for a number of years." Flinspach: "Does this improve the quality much?" Mr. Palmer: "I'm not in a position to say."
In the play "Joy" Rex was supposed to embrace Grace. After the play Mrs, Hamilton said to Rex: "Why, Rex, I'm g-lad to see you out here. I thought you were still behind t�e curtain.''
Maurice Rockwell, at Camp Baldy: "You don't expect me to run on a full stomach, do you?" W. Henzie: "No, you might wear out your new "Junior Sweater"." Mildred M.: "You know, you'd be a good dancer but for two thing·s, Mr. Vaile." "Chick": "What can they be?" M. M.: "Your feet." Mr. Hoskins: "What time is it down there, Gladys?" Gladys: "Just ten, father," Mr. H.: "Don't forg·et to start the clock when Alan goes."
Bridenbaugh: "You may rather have a Packard than a Ford, but a Ford's all right," Alan White: "Oh, that "? ay be so, but I'd rather have a ,, .. , Packard than anything else. Miss McFadden: "What happens when you try to hit a stingerey and miss him?" V. Johnson: "Well, I guess you're stung."
"Chick": "Say, Gardner, who took Miss Gammon last night? There were six boys with her." Gardner: "Oh, they all chipped in a nickle, and those next to her a quarter." One hundred and nine

Commandments for Juniors
Thou shalt not love thyselves as .the Seniors. Remember the school day to k�ep it happy. Thou shalt take a little advice from thine elders. Remember them also when you springest thy sweaters. Thou shalt be reverent toward the Freshmen. Thou shalt use judgment in all thy special affairs. Thou shalt honor thy tardy excuses. Thou shalt not borrow thy neighbor's note-book. Thou shalt have regard for thy teacher"s presence. Thou shalt plant many seeds of knowledge.
Johnson: "What would the ocean look like if it was dry?" Miss McFadden: "Rather dry and uninteresting, I should say.'" E. Ernst, after roller skating: ďż˝'My, I suppose my shoulder will be stiff tomorrow." "Dink": "Why, you don't skate on your shoulder, do you?" Mr. Payne: "Mr. Kingman, tell what you can about the speed of light." Mr. K.: "It travels so fast it really doesn't travel at all." (Must be on the order of Kingie.) Helen Campbell: "Say, Karl, did you ever chase chickens?"
