ETERNITY I saw lace tree tops etched against a moon I saw May mellow sweetly into June, I heard birds call from trees where snow had lain Their ever new yet ever old refrain, And lo-as subtly summer¡came again ! wondered. I saw green changed to pulsing, flaming gold, I saw wheat ripen. silken fold on fold; I heard leaves fall in stillness, soundlessly; I saw all Autumn's gorgeous alchemy, And as its joy filled up the heart of meI wondered.
I saw black boughs lift desolate arms to God, I saw snow walk where once the flowers had trod; I watched where chestnuts fell, a tawny heap; I heard the silence deepening into sleep, And as the snow fell, stoical and deep! wondered. Lo! Spring laughs once again upon the hill, And garish blooms again the daffodil; The miracle again, the age old thrill, A million times, yet gloriously still, 1 wonder!
How wonderful creation's commonplace! Our being and our dying into space, So every new-sprung wistful flower-face Lives heavenward, a perfect thing of grace. How can God such simple complex trace? I wonder! -Helem Howe, '23

Since first. on a l�ng ago day we counted up on all th" fi.ngen of one hand th., remaining years of our student life, and placed opposite our names with a pride that anticipated our glory, our numernl '23, we have lived for this year. This is the year which plac"s our names upon the ,.,cord of an a chievement long sought. It is also the year of happy events, which-if lost to time ,>re never lost to memory. If we could survey past time as a man standing upon a mountain surveys a valley, we might remen_1ber all that ha s passed. Unfortunately. however. we find that on looking back we remember a few outstanding events. Perha p.'I our first is the day we chose to ..spring•· our rings. We met at Kathe rine Brown's and wound ""in a long row, ha n d in hand."' up to our belove d high school. Mr. C�vell met U.'I at the door an d was kind enough to allow us to go the limit of our noise capacity for three minutes. We did. It was a goodly racket and wonhy the insignia. Time and space do not permit of further indulge nce in these memorie s at present. We have in the course of events arrived at a milestone. a place horn which to look back a moment an d think of the way traver.'led with refere nce to the big journey "he,.d of us. We se e now that after all a thing accomplished i" always but another step in a journey whose last pea k we hope will be always just ,.head of us, exciting in its anticipation and l.utingly lovely in its realization. That we should receive an d retain some true conception of life is, whether we realize it or not, the worth-while feature of our education. If it is with a slight f eeling of disillusionment that we see ahead of us more worlds to conquer, if we fin d the long-looked for goal a little less permanently satisfying than we had hope d, still we know that the joy is in the striving and we are less self-complacent over our achieve • men! tha n we might otherwise b e. It is not to be regrette d that w e are, never satisfied. but a f act to be regarde d as the biggest hope of existe nce-as the source of all happin ess and the starting point of all progress. If we can take away with us such a philosophy, what does it matter if the time shall come when we have forgotten the formula for sulphuric acid and the date of the War of Indepe ndence ? The time has be en long. sometimes. but the learning ha s been fun, and now at the end of it all we are glad, as much in the promise of tomorrow opening into endless ·tomorrow, as in the satisfaction of a task w ell done.

OR�ottlZOTIOtO When the Anociated Students opened their books for the year 1922-23, a deficit of over one hundred doilan had to be met. This, together with the prospect of heuvy expensu for the athletic teams, made the outlook rather discouraging Furthermore, football Wit$ unexpectedly introduced in1o the league, n1aking our chances in this sport doubtful. because of the uncertainty of proper equipment. How• ever, true to the spirit of the 1chool, the Studcnl Body determined to clear up the debt, enter a football team. and go through the year with flying colon. This they did. Under the capable management of Lyle Johnson, funds sufficient for the payment of the note were collected, and the note was met when due, This was accomplished in different way3: by the collection of regular revenue derived from Student Body dues, nnd from 11pecit1l 1ources. Admiuion was charged for all athletic contuh, due to an agreement Among all schools in the League. This suggestion WOii offered to the League by represenlAtives of the Claremont High School Quite a sum was realized from thi.• source. Some profit was_ obtained through the sale of belt buckles. Another appreciable sum wa1 ob• tained from the special play. '"Her Own Way."" Thie play was put on through the generous co-operation of Miss Welch, and a capable cast of student1. It i-'I well to mention that the proceeds from the Music Department"s operetta. '"H. M. S. Pinafore, .. were turned over to the Annu"l. This generosity the Student Body greatly ;ippreciated. However, the financial achievements are not the only field in which the students have ably acquitted themselves. Upon entering football. the Claremont team was considered. undouPtedly. the weakest in the league. However, this assumption proved incorrect. The team won the cup for Claremont High. Although not so fortunate in basketball. the Claremont tenm was con1idered as a formidable nppnn.,nt by other schools. Another new sport introduced was light-weight ba,.ketball A strong track team won bonors for the school. This sport wns probably more enthusiastically received this year than in the past. . The girl . indoor baseball team ,.,presented the school in an adrnirnble manner, the Student Body support being unusually strong As this is written, the tennis and baseball seasons are not yel completed Exp.,rience makes it apparent that if Student Body finances arc to be placed upon a satisfactory bu1i1, the budget NyMem must be em· ployed. As yet the 8ources of revenue have been doubtful until the last minute. and making both ends meet has been " matter of good luck. However, It is hoped that " more busineu·like system will be pursued by Student 8ody ent.,rprises in the future We thank the faculty for their interested co-operation in aiding the Student Body. Without it. such a record as has been made would have been practicH \ly impouible Kenneth Williamson. '23.

(!llarr-Jlt The Clare-Hi was first �tarted in the high school in response to a demand for a publication which would give all the new" and keep the Student Body in touch with every activity. It made its modest appear ance as a mimeographed sheet in the second llemester of 1920 and th rough the untf ring efforts of Charles Eaton , its first editor, the paper was "n "ts first year of a real success. The ne xt year with Darwin Hand as edit or, the paper was enlarged and instead of being m imeographed was ne<1tly printed, and wa s c on sequently much more att ractive. The newne8s, howev er, had worn off and despite the improvement in the paper, the board noticed with re gr "t a falling off in subscriptions. The books at the end of the year, however, showed a balance on hand. The thi rd edit or, Kenneth Williamson and staff of assistants enlarged the p ublication and iuued a liv e and att ractive paper fo r the year of 1922, but again the Student Bo dy seemed unable to back and s upport the publication. However, d ue to the hard wo rk of the editor a nd his staff, the books showed a balance of two doliars and fo rty-two cents at the end of the year. The unfortunate editor , John Brydon, an d his staff of fellow s ufferers found it impossible to aro use any enthusias m ove r the paper at all, this resu lting i n n o subscriptio ns and conseq uently no funds. The Clare.Hi is not put ou t of exi�tence forever, but until the studen ts of C. H. 5. will tak e enough interest to he lp and support the p ape r.
�paninq Qllub One night in ]actu ary a meeting of students of Spanish was held at Katherine Brown's ho us e. Officers wer e elected with a Spani sh Club i n view, the object of which was to be the promotion of a more Auent use of Spanish amo n g the s tudents, a nd the i ncidental enjoyment of a good time. The obstacles in the way of such an (? rganization were not a few. Count as wou ld, seven nights seemed to be all a week afford ed. Ou t of those seven one was S unday. Out of the remaining six, Friday and Saturday mu st be kept open for later school ev ents. Tuesday was movie night. Wednesday choi r night and Thursday the regula r meeting time of the Di Epsilon girls. So mehow our parents see med loath to part with ou r company on Moi'i:day. The hope of the Spani sh Club lies in the futur e. The grad uating students earnestly desire that someone will be sufficiently interested ne xt year to see that a date is kept open f or it. They hope yet to see acc omplished by the club the things hoped for in its o rganization . If this can be, they will fee l that they have helped to start a worth while project, although they could not stay to see the fulfill ment of their visi on. Span ish is a langu age whose practical valu e is universa lly r ecog nized. It is a langu age that is easily mastered and mercifu l in its grammatical co mple xities. Exceedingly profitable and enjoyable ev en• ings can be spent with a well•organized Spanish Club. We hope it may be possible for next year·s Spanish stu dents to co ntinue this project and make it a succeu.
0 The Girls' League hns den<' nothing at all spectacular this year , but it has nevertheless made its inHuence felt in the life of the High School. Mo nthly meetings have been held with programs that have proved both interesting and instructive, for they have been varied in character and the speakers h,.ve brought lo u s hdp and inspiration by showing us some of the avenues of service o pen to the high school girl. The music furnished by our own league members has been much enjoyed and greatly appreciated. The "'Activities Committee," under the capable leadership of Calista Frampto n, has been true to its name and deserves much credit for the dinners so graciously and generously served by the girls and so heart:\y enjoyed by the basketba!I teams and their opponents. The hnrd work involved wns merrily and wil!ingly done. and. thanks to Calista' s fine generalship, much was donated and little expense wns 'ncurred. This committee, too, has donated pies a nd ca ndy which have been sold in the cafeteria and at gamea, thus giving us a little money which we hope will be the beginning of a fund for sending our delegates to the Lengue Conference. Thanks to the good work of Hazel Ruui and her helpers on the Good Housekeeping Committee the rest room has been made attractive with new curtains and couch covers. This committee also helped to keep the girls' locker room clean and in order. At Thanksgiving time the league memben made cakes and sent them to the boys of the California Junior Republic. who were most apprecia tive of the little that we did for them, Many new ideas and much enthusiasm resulted from the Annual Co nference at Long Eeach. for our delegates reported a splendid time and bro ught much inspiration to the league Miss Willows is the moving spirit of the lengue a nd to her we owe much love and nppreciation. Though our activities h ave been limit,:d we feel that the Girls' League has been worth while this year, for ii has promoted a re,,l spiri1 of democracy and friendship among the girls, and we hope the1t next year it will prove a real fact or in establishing a finer and better high school spirit.

. ttlelta 1.Gamboa The m,ed of a public spe.,king society has alw"Y" been felt in Claremont High School. and it i& to. satisfy this demand that Delta Lambda was organized.
With the assistance of Mr. Brown we believe that thi1 1ociety has achieved end11 which no other society has ever achieved in thi" high .school, and to him is due a grent deal of the credit for ih 11uccess. Under hi1 guidance we have taken up the theory and practice of public speaking of several types, and there is no doubt in the minds of any
of the members as to the benefit that they have derived from the society. In addition to public 1peaking. current .events. extemporaneous addreue., short story readings and items of" general intere1t to the
men of the organization, make our meetings both enjoyable 1:1nd wortl-. while.

ffTnLETIC� JJ!ootball FOREWORD W e came; we ,.aw; we conquered. The first team to represent Claremont in football covered itaelf and their sludent body with glory by annexing the championship of the ··Tri-County League. We wen': late in starting because of the fact that it was well into the season before we decided/ to adopt football as a major sport. This was a handicap hard to overcome and the �ituation seemed all but hopeless. With the appointment of Lieuten11nt Sawyer as coach c/\me our first rny of hope and through his vigorous and steady work we made good our !ou. Soon after pr,,ctice w;u under way Sam Millen, who came to us from Santa Am,, was chosen to lead C. H. S. in her fint ilttempt
at football.
PRACTICE GAMES Under the able direction of Coach Lieutenant Sawyer a number of pn1ctice games were arr,inged ;,nd to this in J,.rge meiuure may be nttributcd the team•� wonderful ahowing in 11\ter ser,aon games. Monte bello waa first to be met and firat to fall. 3 !-0 waa the pleasing result of the first practice acrimm<>ge. • In thi8 game w<u uncovered the fact that we had a atar in our quurterbl\ck Mason.

This game for the first half was exceed ingly ungratifyi ng to the Claremont supporters and it was not until well into the second half that a ray of hope pene trated the gloom of what appeared to be ou r first defeat.

The fiut quarter of this game was the same as had been most of our previous game s. La Verne swept us off our feet and before ten minutes had elapsed the scor " stood La/Verne 7, Claremont 0. Aft.,r the next kic koff we gave them a style of play entirely diff.,r ent fr om that which we had shown previou,.Jy. There were no wide open forma tions, no tri c k plays, but a ser ies of hare! ir re.'li stible buck s which br ought the ball in due course of time/to our opp onent s" three-yard line, wher e Brick Smith did not he8itate to go through or ar ound the line, b ut rather went over it for the r emaining distance and a touchdown.

FINALE
And now in conclus ion after o ur first grand succeu we must stop and think of what we will do nex:t year and who will be absent when the first whistle blows, Tho se who leave us by graduation are: Millen, Mason, Patton, Packard, Ingham. Lay, Jo hnson and Smith. Another who will not be out when the fir st call is issued is Colladay, who r e ceived a seriou.'I injury in basketball which will keep him from partici pating. The above have all played their last for C. H. S,. but they mu.'lt feel fully repaid for the honor they have brought upon her name. The others who have already done their pad toward s winning one cham· pionship but who will have another chance to bring the cup into Clar e mont' s halls are Captain-elect Sanders, Brackett, McBurney, Jallings, Wheeler and Bell. With the above li st on hand only a bright future may be seen for Claremont High School in football.

First, we were without a coach, and had this not hampered us all season, we are safe, I believe. in Huuming that there would have been a different T ri-Counly League ch11mpion. Second. we had lost by graduation three stellar lettermen. Despite these handicaps we put out a team which, although it did not win the League Championship. was ni,vertheleu able to establish a fighting reputation. And so it cami, lo pau that on the I 2th day of the month of January we found ourselves aad]y in need of practice and about to face Chino. who later barely miued copping the South ern California Championship.

The following week the same game ilnd fighting group, uncoached, but eager to play, journeyed to La Verne and there received a merci leu trouncing to the tune of 25 to 5. It was quite evident from the $!art that the Claremont quintette had an off day and this coupled with a multitude of unlucky shoh spelled defeat. But this proved to be the needed tonic for it Wlll not the same team that swept ih opponents from their feet in the following three weeks nnd wa� thus enabled lo cop a third place after this discouraging start. CLAREMONT, 25-REPUBLIC, I 1
The following week, the opener came in the form of a clean cut victory from the California Junior Republic. A vast improvement could be noted in the entire ClaremOClt team. Patton proved to be the individual star of the game and scored an even I 5 of his team'• points, Captain Mason also displayed eome wonderful hut Roorwork and hit the ba1ket on numeroue occasione IU well. But it wa1 not the playing of any one individual which brought this, the first basketball victory of the seaeon, but rather the splendid team work and unity which was displayed throughout the entire contest.

The following week we traveled to the peaceful little hamlet of Corona. determined, not only to wake it up, but at the same time to keep up the march to the top which we had so nobly started the week before. And this we did, but it w,u only after taking the hardest fought battle of the Tri-County League by the nerve-racking score ,

Following a week of practic e which was, lo say the le ast, unsuc cenful. we pack ed our grips and tobk a trip to Pomona as our court waa in shape for no other sport than water polo or surfboard riding. Upon our arrival at the Y. M. C. A. we found aome gentlem en from Colton who declar ed they were r e ady to push Claremont off the map as far as basketball was concerned. And, following such a mis erable week of practice we did' not dispute their word until some fifty min utes later whe n the game ended and the ■core stood, Claremont 24; Colton, 16. Without a doubt this was the best exhibition of basketball we had shown during the season and our efforh. were well repaid when we walked off the field with our third consecutive victory. It is hard to mention any star because of the fact that everyone played his part so well, but i n giving an account of the game one cannot fail to speak of the guarding of '"Pooky'" Brackett, which i, to be highly commended. Mason, Ingham, Patton and Smith all played their last game for Clare mont High School, and 11lthoui;:h they had many times before taken the court to de fend C. !-\. S., we think that th18 hut game was undoubt edly th eir best. In looking ahead to the prospects of ne xt ye11r we profoundly regret that anyonc e ver invented graduation. for it will take away from our halls Ex-Captain Mason, Patton, Smith 11nd Ingham. But we see a silver lining to this dark cloud when we think of the past, when the above-mentioned warrion were laced by overwhelming odds and still camc out the victon. And so, with Captain-Elect Brackett and Jallings to form a nucleua and with McBurney, Johnson and Whee ler all looking good for berths next year it would seem that if any t eam beside s Clar emont lands the Cup next year it will have to be sitting prety high in the percentage column
130-LB. BASKETBALL This year the league council decided to e stabli,h something new in the form of light-weight ba■ketball. Claremont, therefore, got to gethe r a fighting quintclte of midgets, and, although they did not walk. off with the pennant, thcy did prov e one thing, and that ia that light weight bask etball is not something to be ,coffed at, and provid ed the student body will get behind them and support them it will not be long before a new sourc e of trophies will be established in this high ,chool McKe nna will le ad next year's aggregation, which will probably include B;,rton, Owens, Bell and Oliver /'ayl"l-"l>rl_\"-!"il"O
IDrark Crowding close behind the heels of the hoop 8porl came the call to the wearers of the abbrevi111ed outfits to come forth and defend the name of their high school in track. Although we were forced to say goodbye to Captain Milliken. Myera, Smith. Cowan, Rich and Hamil ton of last year"s team, the outlook was a bright one and some len stalwart youths answered Coach Strchlc's first call to the track field. The decision by the board that Robert Strehle. All-American hurdler, should coach C. H. S. was a cause of much rejoicing. Turnouts fol lowed every night hom this time up to the day of the leaij'Ue meet. which w,u held this year al the University of Redlands. Previous to this day, however, Coach Strehle af'rnnged for numerous priu;tice meets, which had great bearing on the final victory of the season. The season's opener came in the form of the annual inter-c.lau meet which. in spite of the dopester'• most valiant efforts. was won by the Juniors with 54 points, the Seniors following with 39, and the Sophomores trailed in the last with 16. Nothing spectacular in the way of timu or distances was done in this eady meet but they were not lo be expected as yet. The meet did, however. stimulate an undying interest which continued until the cup denoting the championship of the Tri-County League was placed in the halls of C. H. S.

The first inter1choli11tic meet wa!I held at Citrus Union in competi tion with that institution and the Monrovia High School. The showing in this meet w1u an entirely satiafa'ctory one and when we were able to score 37 points against these schools our championship aspiration took a decided booat. Bell proved' himself worthy of attention and notice when he out-jumped the best that either Citrus or Monrovia could produce in the hi i,i:h-jump. Captain Johnson ran a neat half mile and broke the tape with yards to spare. Maaon took the other firat that Claremont copped when he leaped his way into the blue ribbon position in the broad-jump. The whole team made a very acceptable showing but space will not permit mentioning the indi vidual achievemenll of each. The next muscle relaxer arranged by Coach Strehle came in the form of a bout with the Pomona College Fro,h and Citrus. The ahowing in this meet was not 111 satisfactory as might have been expected, but the competition wa1 keen in each and every event and every bit of practice helped u1. Oliver was the only one who w,u Able lo cop a gold medal but he achieved thia when he stepped away from the field in the 440-yard dash. The following week we journeyed to Corona to meet that institu• tion and the underdaumen from Riverside High School. The result of this meet was such an overwhelming victory for Claremont that to mention individual stars would be to name the team one and all, for 1carcely a man journeyed forth on that day who did not come back with three points to his credit. This ended the practice of the season, in the form of direct competition, but w e did not let down on our daily practices and we found ourselves in A-1 condition. when with Kil hands on deck, we tracked to the University of Redlands on Satur day, March 17, determined to bring home a vietory if it was in the power of the eleven athletes who went to defend the name of C. H. S. We found the tn1ck at Redland8 in splendid condition Bnd from the crack of the pistol at the start of the Hundred to the breaking of the

tape in the Relay the meet wu I\ glorious success. Up until the High Jump the meet seemed a too-up between La Verne and Claremont, but after this event in which Bell and Smith tied for first. a victory was quite evident. Our only notable weak spot in the entire meet was the shorter aprints in which we were only able to snag one point. Mason, participating for the last time for C. H. S., did himself and his school justice when he was high-point man for Claremont with a grand total of 12 points. He garnered hi1 points by copping both the di,cu1 and the broad-jump and by snagging a third in the shot-put. Bell followed clo1e with nine pointa, which were obtained by breaking the tape in 1he high-atick event and a lie for first in the high-jump. Ne:l<I came Wheeler, who sprang a pleaaant and welcome ■urpri1e when he, by some means or other, waa able to cop eight digits. He ■nagged aeconds in both timber-topping evenll a1 well as a third in the pole-vault. Smith followed him closely with aeven counters. He obtained them by tying for fint in the high-jump and copping the silver medal in the ahot. Captain Johnson won the half-mile and copped Claremont's lone point in the sprinh for a total of 1ix points. Two points further down the liat came Ingham, who copped thirds -in both the broad-jump and the low barriers. Oliver wae held back at the start of the 440 but in apite of thi1 fact he ran himself into the third position. Sanders fought it out for a fourth place in the four-lap event. Claremont'• relay outfit, compo1ed of Johnson, Oliver, Morain and Wheeler. ran a neat race and were headed to the lape only by the strong all-star aggregation of La Verne. And now we are through: this tells the complete story of how we gathered in our SJ digih and again placed Claremont's name al the he11.d of the list on the track and field.: And now, where may C. H. S. expect to land in track nex:t year? We will no longer be able to depend on the service• of Ex:-Captain Johnson, Mason, Smith and lngh11m. But with. Capl11in-Elect Bell, Wheeler, Oliver, Morain 11nd Jalling& 111 well as Sam Smith, a 8lar of '22, all on deck, it appears thet our victorious record which Aa1 been est.,blished in the past two ye11ra, will be continued.

�ids· illuskrthull Coach Packard issued the c"ll for girls' baseball early this se<1son and it w<1s not long before 1-,., had his fair co-eds teadng around the bags and knocking the cover off the mistr eated "pe!ota." The girls
went forth this season determined to trnin and work, and to receive as
the reward the championship of the l eague. They did follow their in tention to work and train ""d were only ddeated in the purpose by one of those str e,.ks of erratic playing which comes once in " 1sreat while to any b<1�eball team. A few prnctice games were held, some of which were successful and others not so successful. However it is not the score which counts in these pr<1ctice g;,.mes, but the good derived from them and these games were bendicial as the later season results clearly �hawed.
The first game of the �eason was with Chino at Chino to which gay city we made our way, and after some seven innings of what was literally slaughter we returned the victors with a score of 20-8. If we may speak of such a thing as <1n ··on day·· we had it then. for both the fielding and batting of every member of the team was superb and Cap tain Smith was responsible for four clouts in as many trips to the plat ter. Broughton held her opponents down to ten well scattered bingles, while her team-mates were garnering twenty-five safe hits.
1-'ayr Forty-.<i.r
Next c"me Corona who journey to our little village determined to kill all of our championship aspirationa. but in thi, they failed com pletely. The result wa1 even more 1ati1factory and Corona·• e:xhibition of indoor even worae the,n Chino·• the previous week. After the dust of the bettle had cleared away it was announced, for we had long .since lost track, that the score wa1 2 1-1. We are unable to mention 1tar.s in this conte1t for the entire affair was a splendid exhibiion of the hit and run .sporl. Broughton'• work in the box was even better than the week previou1 for ahe let the Corona .. ,O.. down with six measly bingles. Following a week of practice on the diamond we met LaVerne in the harde1t fought game of the Tri-County League Girl"s indoor se,uon. The finel re.suit of thi, notable conte1t was 6-2 in our favor. Claremont opened the .scoring and sent four run, across the rubber in the fint inn ing. LaVerne put acrou one in the 1econd and another in the third which left the score at 4-2 in favor of Claremont. This wa.s indeed a very scanty lead, but Claremont put one over in the fourth and still another runner crossed home in the sixth, and this proved to be suffi cient to win although the victory wns not certain until the last ball was passed to the batter. In this game the hitting of Peirsol wa� a notable feature when her card read thnee bingles in three trips to the plate. At the -111,me time Broughton reached the climax in her pilc.hing at C. H. S. when she turned LaVerne back with five well scattered hits. The following week", game determined our final ranking in the league. We, therefore, made our w"y lu Colton after the passing of some .seven days. and there we did lea.rn our final standing which was not that of Champion. but that of the runner-up. Colton led off with two runs in the opener, but we overcame this in the third by making three complete trips around the diamond and we held thia lead, al though many runs were made, until the seventh when Colton brought in six runa and tied the count al 1 J.1 J. According to all the laws of superstition this score ,hould have meant hard luck to both teams, but our 13 w111 the only one that counted, for in the next inning the Clare mont pitcher was nicked for four hits which were turned into a, many runa. We found ourselves able to turn in tw"o more counters before the end of the fray, but this could not overcome their present leRd in addition to three more marker.s which they put over in the ninth. But such is life, Rnd 8ince Colton received all the breakft we turned ourselves homeward, and contented ourselve• with being the second best team in th Tri-County League. But for us•more lies in the future than in the past, so let u11 for a moment take a little glimpse at next year'• girl's indoor team. True, we will lose Captain Smith, Broughton. Russi. Wheeler and Frampton. but there i1 a bright side to this &tory and wheu we reafo:e that Captain-elect McBurhey, Shaffer, Peinol. Parkhill. White, Green and Pitzer 1:111 stars of the past season are to reml'lin with us, we are forced to believe that we will be able to give even hard-luck a good fiwht for the pennant next year.

Clare mont came back with one in the fourth and atil\ another in rhe fifth. Thi1 acore remained until the seventh, when each team received a counter and left it at 4-3, LaVerne leading. The last two innings were hotly conleated but Claremont's soaring hopea received a damper in LaVerne·• half of the ninth, when, aided by two clean hits and an error, they were able to put a finishing touch on their well earned 6-3 victory. Thia defeat ,:lid not however put a clamper on our aspirations to have a baseball season which might justly be termed successful.
We clearly showed in our next contest that we meant busineu. It, that i1, the annihilation, took place at the California Junior Republic, at Chino. The final score tell, the tale of our e,chibition of the Amer ican pastime; Claremont 30, Republic 2. The following week there occurred a thorough reproduction of the game of the week previous with the exception that the ,coring by Clare mont was done on a much larger scale. The game only went five inn ings, at the end of that time the delegation from Corona walked off the field in disgust. The crucial contesl was held al Colton on the 11th day of May, and here we suffered a defeat al the hands of a better team, but the score, 8-5, which waa not bad in it,elf, might have been even better had it not been for a bad piece of work at a critical moment on the base1. The conteat opened badly from our standpoint, but such had been the caae in many previous inslances. 10 we were not diaheartened by the facl that Colton pushed acrou two run1 in their half of the first inning. We did the next scoring in the third when we m,bbed a marker on ,ome neat base-running by Ingham. Colton, however, came back in the fourth with two more ma"rkers in fasr 1ucceuion. Clare mont staged a brilliant and fighting rally in the ,ixth, which was slarted by a long drive to center by MacBurney. The total countin thi 1 come back amounted to 3 rune and left the count al 8-4, Colton. We were able, to slip across another m11rker in the eighth canto. but a treacherous ate11.I from third to home ended our ambitions and hope1 and the final 1core wa1 Colton 8, Claremont S. The student body backing in this conte1t was excellent and we 1hall not attempt to offer alibis. the bes! team had won beyond a doubt. So we again -'made our way home and contented ourselve, with the knowledge that every game had been a fight regardleu of who had been the winner and that the baseball sea ion had been a highly �ucceuful one. After the final play the count was taken and "Casi' Packard waa awarded the "cookie" as being the nearest rival of Ruth on Claremcont"a team with the splendid season average of .SSJ.
Aa we turn to the prospects of next ye11rs team we are forced to look al rather a dark cloud for we are to lose Packard, Shaw, Ex-Cap tain Patton, Ingham, Mason, and Blanchard. The only letter men who will be among the turnout of next year will be MacBurney, Jallinga, and Wei,brod. In 1pite of the fact that the outlook is nol a bright one, we can be assured that the team whether we win or lose will do its best in the name of Clarfmont High School.
Wmuin As usual. We won again. Following the custom which was established a number of years ago, Claremont again walked off "With first honors in the annual racket-wielding contest of the Tri-County League. In order to be in the best possible condition when the day of t.he tournament should arrive, we held a great number of prac tice tilts, which, although they did not produce the most pleasing results, due perhaps to the type of competition, did develop some new material and were directly responsible for the teams ending the season with a glorious victory. Matches were scheduled this year with Pomona, Chaffey, Webb School for Boys and Montebello, and these, together with a great deal of outside practice, put the team in unbeat able shape for the all-day tournament which was to decide the . league championship. The ··doings. this year were held on May 19th, on the courts of Pomona College, with every school in the league with the exception of Colton entering a full team. The playing began at 10:30 a. m., and it was not until late in the afternoon that the announcement was made that Clare mont, for the fourth consecutive time, was the league ··champ.·· The results of the tournament were as follows: Claremont 3, Chino I, Corona I, while the other schools re turned home without a counter to their credit. l'uy,· Fifty
In the boys singles, without a doubt the most spectacular playing of the day was exhibited by Allan Taylor, who found little difficulty in crashing his way through all the preliminary rounds and then found himself easily able to hand Claremont I marker by defeating the Chino entrant in the finals. In the girls singles, Ruth Schaffer did not fare so well, but displayed some excellent tennis and met defeat only in the finals, at the hands of Corona's best bet. The girls doubles proved to be nothing more nor less than another glorious victory for the Claremont supporters, when Norma Broughton and Calista Frampton walked straight through everything in sight and finally came out the victors by defeating LaVerne. The boys' doubles, which proved to be one of the hardest fought sections of the day's play, resulted in a victory for Chino when Ingham and Wheeler, after having slaughtered their first round oppon ents, weakened, and met defeat at the hands of the expert pair from the town "where everything grows." In the mixed doubles Allan Taylor and Adelaide Parkhill formed the Clare mont aggregation and covered themselves with glory by win ning the match which decided the issue of the championship. In spite of the fact that Ingham, Broughton and Frampton will not be here next year to answer the ··call to the courts,·· the future for the Claremont tennis team is very bright. as the best of the dopesters are able to figure out. With Allan Tay lor, one of the best interscholasti_c players in California, again at the helm nothing other than victory in boys singles can be foreseen. In the boys doubles, Taylor and Wheeler will form a pair which should easily be able to take the best in the league down the line. With another year's experience and practice on the courts, Ruth Shaffer should develop into the best individual girl racket-wielder in the league. In the mixed doubles Claremont will, in all probabi}jty be represented by James Oliver and Adeaide Parkhill, and it looks as if this team would be able to come out on top when the '24 tournament is held. This will leave us without a girls" double team, but if tennis receives next year the support that it has received during the past year a little deffi.ciency such as this will not keep another championship .cup away from the halls of Claremont High School.

DROOOTICS Another big success in the dramatic world of Claremont High School! On the evenings of December 8 and 9 the Associated Student Body presented "Her Own Way," by Clyde Fitch, under the able and excellent direction of Miss Welch. The cast was, as a whole, well balanced and true to types. Special mention must be accorded Master Burton Brehaut, who portrayed Toots in such a way as to win the hearts of all Claremonters. Helen Howe made a charming debut into dramatics, and her interpretation of Georgiana's character was clear and true. The successful acting of Wendell Mason, as Sam Coast, was due to his ease of manner, and his thorough\v natural interpretation of the part. Demure Dorothy Smith surprised everyone by her portrayal of the modern, gum-chew ing hair dresser. Steven Carley, played by Coy Sanders at his best, was the most difficult paft in the play. Other parts were taken by Miriam Dillon, the young-old Mrs. Carley; Clarence Wheeler as Dick, the dashing hero; Helen Emlay as Louise, Steve's selfish and petulant young wife: Parkhurst Brackett and Calista Frampton as the old family servants; Lawrence Shaw as the butler; John Cummings and Elizabeth Brown as Philip and Chris, the Carley children; and Lois Brown as Elaine, the children's friend from next door.

we about "Pinafore."
"Four bells, and all's well."
So say
On the nights of April 20 and 21, the Music Department of Clare• mont High School. under the able direction of Miu Hitchcock, as sisted by Warner Bentley, gained another honor for its "Alma Mater" by so successfully giving "Pinafore," one of the Gilbert and Sullivau comic operas. To say it was good woJlld be to under-rate it. The rendition was a success from start to finish. The chorus was, as a whole, better balanced than it has been for several years, and the success of the production was due as much to this as to the splendid individual acting'.. The staging was in charge of Lyle Johnson and John Brydon, both of whom deserve a great deal of credit for the splendid reproduc tion of the deck of H. M. S. Pinafore. The individual parts >were played so well that special mention should be accorded each one of the principals.
Let us begin with the charming heroine, Josephine, who was played by Ethyl Baughman. All who saw he_r will long remember her charm and grace and above all the beautiful quality of her voice. Ralph, the dashing young hero, was portrayed by Parkhurst Brackett.

Pa.<Jc Fifty-.<,
A ooc· Slowly he limped acrou the valley, 11lopping every little while to 11mell the wind. He wa11 hungry. he wa1 tired and eore. and mo•t of all he waa lonely. Yesterday he had been eorely wounded by a pack of wolve1, but had been lucky enough to get away with hit life when a deer had run by. That was where he picked up hi11 limp, but 1ti\l he limped on down the valley. Once he 1topped to whimper as a ,harp piece of ice cut into his 1ore leg, but ,top he would not. Softly from afar off came the sound of a man whi1tling an old melody that the little dog knew. Waa it haa master} But no, he had not smelled him for three days. Still that 11ounded like hi11 whistle. Breaking into a gallop, he went along with his ear, up listening for another note of that old melody, but none came. Stopping to rest hi1 10n: leg and tired body under a tree, he waa consciouR of a gr.,at wearineu, �o he lay down to aleep, but sleep he could not for many long houn, until finally wearineu overcame the pain of his wounds and he dropped off into ·ilumberland.
Down the trail in the opposite direction from which he had come, came his master. Within fifteen feet of the little French Bull h• paned, but curled up behind a tree in the 1helter of its low branche11, the dog wa1 not seen. The man wa11 al110 tired and aore from a long journey. but he preued on, thinking not of his wearineu, but of the little cold body he had buried that morning. Marian had been a beau tiful little daughter while she lived and hi1 only companion beaide11 Brutue, hi1 little French Bull, which he had not seen aince Marian had died. But the man plodded on forgetful of everything, but hit great 11adne1111 and loneline1111. On ahe11d, there was a 1hort downhill slope which the trail followed. Slowly he approached, not takini;: hia eyes off the ground two feet in front of him, until he reached the 11\ope, on which there was a thin crust of ice. Then his foot slipped. He graaped at a tree, but too late. Down he 11lid, over and over until he rolled and alid into a tree at the bottom where he lay in a heap.
Seventeen hour11 later. the little dog woke up, yawned and 11tretched, licked hi11 wounds and trotted out to meet the day, h had been 1nowing during the night and the trail waa covered by four inches of snow. Faintly he smelled a fomiliar odor, he smelled again, there was no mistake, it was that of hi1 ma11ter. Breaking his own way down the trail he followed the faint odor to the slope down which his ma11ter had fallen, but he wa11 going too fast to atop and he too slid over the ice to the bottom of th" slope. He jumped to his feet and ran over to his mast"r with many joyful yelps. Forgotten was the lame leg11, the sore body. the wearineu and loneline1111. A great joy filled the little dog·, whole soul. Running over to the quiet body he whined softly and licked the cold face of the man. After continuing thi1 for a little while he curled up be11ide his maeter and went to sleep, if sleep it could be called, with one ear and all his nose on guard for 11ome enemy. Pfly,· Fifl_r-riyhl

THE SIREN It is rather hard for a boy and girl to get acquainted when neither is willing to take the first step. But luck will come their way once in awhile as it did to Bob and Eleanor one morning. Bob's father allowed him to take the car to school that morning that he might drive to the school baseball game in the afternoon. Whom should he over take but Eleanor! Here was his chance! In his excitement he almost forgot what he wanted to say and had trouble in finding the brake "Will you-er-don't you want to ride up to school? I thought you looked tired." Eleanor was looking and feeling just fine, but Bob had learned this sentence by heart and now was his chance to put his study into practice. Sometimes when a girl is sitting beside a boy in a nice big car he will get a little excited and not notice what he is doing. Bob's foot was resting heavily on the throttle and they sped on. Twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, P11y,· Sixty
Eleanor looked back uneasily as she heard a seemingly familiar whistle. It was her turn to be excited now. ..Bob, slow down! The Speedcop's after us!" "Golly!.. Bob looked around and saw the motorcycle com ing behind them. 'Tve got to step on her now! .. If his father ever heard of this, he would never get to take the car again, and think what that would mean when he was allowed only to take it once in a while as it was. He stepped on the throttle and on they went, faster and faster! The orange trees flew behind them! They seemed to swallow up the road as they went! Could he hold the car in the road? Whether he could or not, he must! Sixty I Sixty five I Seventy! Could the car go any faster? He had her almost wide open now and she was eating up the miles as they sped on! Lizzies andHenriettas pulled away out in the ditch to let them pass! The road was practically straight and they soon found themselves ten miles from home and still going. ""Bob, why don't you stop? He"s not coming!'" Eleanor said breathlessly. ''Can"t now-He'll catch me-Few minutes longer.·· A turn in the road stopped them enough for Bob to turn around, and, as far as he could see, the cop was nowhere in sight. He began to realize what he had done, and he knew it would be safer to return by another road. This would be a good opportunity to get better acquainted. For the first three miles they said scarcely anything, but presently they began to find a few things to talk about and during the next half-hour things changed and they laughed and talked as if they had known each other always. The old school house came into sight .all too soon, so he took the opportunity to ask her if she w�uld go to the game with him that afternoon. He was fearing the corner where the speedcop usually stayed, but then he rememb c;red that the cop had come scarcely dos enough to get his number. Later in the day a classmate who had a motorcycle said lo him: "Bob, where were you taking Eleanor this morning? You missed the fire. Didn't you hear the siren? I started to follow you, but you went so fast I gave up the job... Ruth Schaffer, '24.

THE BIRTHDAY PRESENT The beautiful lady looked at me. I looked at the beautiful lady. We both looked very hard indeed. Pretty soon the beautiful lady said, "Pardon me," and than I said, '"Pardon me," too. Then I said, trying to be polite, "l like you. The reason I like you, is because you are so beautiful! What is your name? .. The lady opened her eyes very wide. She raised her eye brows very high. I was scared because I was afraid she'd scold me. But she didn't. She just looked at me more and then she laughed. I like to -hear her laugh. It sounds like the bells on my father's sleigh. It was very sweet and l lis tened to it, until she stopped laughing. Then she said, "You're a funny child. Why did you ask me that?" "Because my papa kn�;'s 'most everybody and I am pretty sure he knows you, too. "Oh," said the lady, ··and what is your father"s name?" "'My father"s name is Mister Ralph De Quincy Murray," I said. When I said that, I felt awfully big and important and I stood up very straight and felt very tall. "Mr. Ralph De Quincy Murray- Mr. Ralph De--" Then she stopped. She stopped very suddenly. Her eyes got big and she looked at me hard. What's the matter?" I asked. "Oh, nothing," she said. She had raised her eyebrows again. She turned and walked right off and left me standing on the sidewalk. Suddenly I discovered that my mouth was open. I shut it tight and didn't smile at all. I didn't even say "goodbye" to the lady. Then I looked at my dress. It had a big tear in the front of the skirt. I had torn it on the rose bush in the vacant lot. I had Florence Nightingale under my arm. Flor ence Nightingale is my guinea pig. She sleeps 'most all day. Pretty soon I went over to the hotel and sat down under the lilac bush. The lilac bush is in the front yard, right beside the sidewalk. I put Florence Nightingale in my lap and she kept right on sleeping. I looked at the peoples' feet as they passed the lilac bush. I couldn't see anything but their feet because the branches hung so low. There was one pair of feet that kept going back and forth in front of the lilac bush. I looked at those feet the most, because they looked the nicest. They had on grey silk stockings and grey sport shoes. They made me think of the beautiful lady, whom I had bumped into at the corner.

Then I remembered why I had come there. I thought hard. I tried to think of something to give my father, for a birthday present. His birthday was that very same day. I thought of guinea pigs and candy and lilac bushes and grey shoes, but I wanted to give him something different. ·what could !..Mister Ralph De Quincy,·· some one said in a low murmur, very near me. "Mr. Ralph De Quincy-." I scrambled to my feet and dumped Florence Nightingale on the ground and crawled out from under the lilac bush. The beautiful lady was standing beside it. "Why did you say my father's name like that?·· I asked. The lady looked very surprised and a little frightened. "'Oh. ifs you is it?'· she said, in a voice that made me think of an ice-box. I stood very straight and put my head up high. I said, "I would like to know why you said my papa's name:· The pretty lady smiled. ··would you like to have me tell you a story?'" she asked. '"Oh, yes:· I said. "let's sit under the lilac bush." When we sat down, and I had Florence Nightingale in my lap again, she said: "Once there lived in a little town called Brent-." "That's the name of this town," I said. The lady went right on, "a little boy named Ralph, and a little girl named Ruth lived next door to each other and played together much of the time. As they grew older, they went to parties together and then to high school. Later the boy went away to college and the girl to boarding' school. They promised to write to each other once a week. Well, they did for a whole year-and then Ruth met the brother of one of her friends. Her letters to Ralph kept getting less and leSS frequent, and finally stopped. When Ruth had finished her coruse, she an nounced her engagement to her friend's brother. Meanwhile Ralph had written again: and again and had received no reply, until he received the announcement of Ruth's engagement. Ruth was happy for three months, and then she found she really didn't love the man she was engaged to, so she broke the engage!llent. She found she was very lonesome for Ralph, so she wrote to him and told him of breaking her engagement. Her letter came back to her, unopened. She wrote again and finally received a reply which said that Ralph was married. but would be glad to have her visit him in Brent, where he and his bride were living. "Ruth's heart was broken. She traveled in Europe and Asia, for eight years, and then came back to America-but her heart was st'ill broken. She knew it was her own fault that she lost Ralph." The lady stopped talking because she had to blow her nose. l',,y,·Si.rt_l'-lhr,·,·
It took her a long time to do it. with her handkerchief.
She covered her whole face
I didn't laugh. I felt too sad to laugh. ,I didn't think it wa1i all Ruth's fault that she lost Ralph. The lady said suddenly, "How is your mother, my dear?" Her voice sounded queer. The question was very queer. too. "My mother is an angel," I said. ·'She went to Heaven four years ago. "Oh," said the lady, "Oh, I must go now.·· I wasn't sure whether she meant she must go to Heaven now, or that she couldn't stay under the lilac bush any longer. I guess she meant the latter, because she got right up and started away. "Thank you for the story,'· I said, 'only it didn·t end right. Can't you make it end different)y?" '·No, my dear, I can.t. Good-bye." The lady went away very quickly. gale under my arm an.cl went home. It was getting dark.
I put Florence Nightin I went home very fast.
I told my father the queer story at dinner. When I fi fil ished it, my father started to say something, but he couldn· t. The reason was because he had to blow his nose. I guess every body had a cold then. Then my father had to clear his throat twice before he could speak. He said, "Who told you the story?" Then I told him abollt the beautiful lady. He didn't say another thing for the rest of the meal. As soon as dinner was over, he said, ·Tm going out for the eve ning, Evelyn. Your governess is here now, and she will have charge of you." I knew it wasn't safe to ask questions when he called me Evelyn, because he just calls me that when he's cross or in a hurry. He calls me "Evvie" most of the time. I don't like my governess. She's too particular. have a bit good time that evening.
I didn't
Just about ten minutes before my bedtime, I heard someone come in the front door. I ran into the hall and there stood my father and the beautiful lady. They both looked very happy. "Evvie," said my father, "this is Miss Ruth Martin dale. She is going to be your mother." I felt all mixed up. "Oh, was the story true, then?" I asked. I felt some tears coming into my eyes. I blinked my eyes very fast. My father didn't say anything. He looked at the floor and nodded. Then it suddenly dawned upon me. "Papa, dear," I said, "Ruth is my birthday present to you my own birthday present to you. Francis Dean ·2s.

WEEK DAYS
Sunday is yellow. I wonder why. ls it because In my mind's eye, The dawn is ye!low?
A pale lavender Brings Monday to my mind. For I go into mourning When school starts, to bind Me down to work, unkind. Tuesday is of drab, A dreary, drizzly drab That makes one think of rain And wind, crying, in agony of pain. But I have no reason why. Wednesday and Thursday, These are red, but of a very Different hue. For Wednesday Is all brightness, is a merry
Red, and Thursday,
Without reason, almost black. Friday is an olive-green, Tinged with deep brown, A little gray, and it seems mean, Almost, at times. At others, Melancholy, with my mood. Saturday is black. And yet I like it Perhaps because I have more time To do with as I would. Betty Hodson, '25.
