DREAMLAND Down in a woodland dell The fairy wove a magic spell, She changed me to a tiny sprite With elfin cap and win&;s of lidit, I flitted here, I tiptoed there, I had not any earthly care. At pight I IaY upon a bed softest, silb:n spider-web, And slept, while music 'round me played, And by my couch Sir Spider strayed. Then in the morning when I woke I found me covered with a cloak Of finest, tiniest, fairy jewels, All sparkling like fo shimmering pools.
or
But this is but a fairy dream, And all such lingering fancies seem To come but once when fairies Ci.ll to take me by the hand And wander with me through the Land Of Dreams That Never Can Come True, VIIGINIA DÂŁAN

Early in the first !emester the Jun;or Class sweaters were sprung. The class met at William Fellows' home, where the sweaters were given out, then rode to the High School where yells were given and pictures taken. The class rnow-d:iy was also a success. Saturday morning, January twent)"• second, we met at the Hiith Sc�ool and drove in private cars to Ice House Canyon, Snow was reached after a short hike, and :n 1he afternoon the group went to the end of the San Antonio Canyon road. I\fr. Thompson and Mr. Lewis were delight• ful chaperones. Members of the class have participated in athletics and various other school :1ctivi• ties throuithout the rear, making a very creditable record for the class of 1928. LEE OVERHOLTZER.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1929
The class of 1929 entered the High School Building as Seventh Graders in September, 1923 Our first cl.lili mttting was hdd in Miss Anna K. Peterson's room November 22, and at this time we elected our class officers. This metting was not all that it should have heen, but we drew up our constitution, an1 by December the class was well i11 order. Our first party was held at Charlts Fitts' home, Frida�•, April I+. 192+. The next year we came back to an entirely different routine. \1/e wen- in the eighth grade and still progressing. That j'C/lr our fir�! semesttr party wns at the Browning home, November 21, 192+, :ind we finished our year's activirie; with a pimic at Fairmount Park, May 23. Ninth grade! Still going strong; we were getting nean•r Senior High School. As freshmen our first party was held at Harriet FIJ'nn's home, and we spent a delightful day at Griswold's Cottage at Balboa later in the year. In the spring we helped give the operetta, "'nie Gypsr Rover," both leads being from our class. We graduated from the Junior High School June 8, 1926, giving as our play "The Turtle Dove." Tenth grade! \Ve are reallr in Senior High School, and again our fall dass party was held with Harriet Flynn. ""'e have taken a large share of the responsihilit) for the operetta, "Once in a Blue Moon," and have enjoyed it. \Ve arc now !miking forward to becomini: upper dassmen, and to the additional activities which we shall share. .\lARGARET \VHITE.

AN OLD GARDEN
d�aridmothcr11 ga rden was filled with flowers, Blossoms of every hue. There were lavender, hollyhock, mignonette, And bowen of roses too. 'Twas a quiet, old fashioned haven, This garden of grandmother'• semxd, And a lovely little maiden, Carrie to the spot and dreamed. But with autumn the flowers faded, TIiey drooped and withered away.
Now winter the prden bu raided,
And chucd the maiden from play. Tbou&,h winter may daim all the flowers. Thou&h play days niay vanish away,
In her tiny a:ardcn of memory, The dreams of her youth live today.

It was admitted by all that thc contest \\"as not nearly so onc-sided as the score would indicate. It wou ld be safe lo say that this was Claremont's greatest figh1 of 1he season. \Vatlr:ins in the backfield and Jalli11gs and Hentle� in the line did 1hemsdvcs proud. while Hadley at center and C:11)1ain Clark also p l ayed C(lnsisieru games.

The first game with Chin1, High was won easily by n margin uf four or fi\"e bash·ts, .ind the nrxt \\"eek the hors from the Circle City were taken on. The entire team slimn:J a touo.:h of o\"crconfidence Juring the first of the game :ind it wa� only after a hard fight i11 tl1e fourth <ru:1rter that Claremont was able 10 bring home a seventeen to fourteen win. ']'he Coron:i game had shown rhe tc:im-m:iny of its weak point� :ind the following Fridar Chino Vocational was downed at the Clrnffe1· gym hr a scon· of tll"ent1· to ten. The big game in the lightweight schedule came the next week when the onc-hundred-and-thirtr-poundcrs met Hnnita's champion ship team. Althoui,:h two Claremont r('gulars 11·cre un the sick: list. the team 111:iyrd its h:inlest ga111e of the season and went down to an honorable It'll to fourteen ddeat.

The Class H team was considered our only championship possibility for 1926-27.

How C\'Cr, thi� game will loug be remembered for the stubbornness with which it was contested.

The Cla�s C basketball team was composed mainly uf men of \'Cry little ex perience .1nd ,1s a consequence their r{"t_-ord was some1,·hat discouraging. Nc\'Crthclcss, whatner this team mar have lacked in the way of weight and expcriem:e, they com11l{·tely made up for in spirit and fight. \-Vith Captain Bahson and Laurence Jeffersun as a nucleus. a well organil.ed quintet was soon formed, and with the attitmle of "�e,·er say dil"," ther completely outplared the much.heavier and faster Chino team. Curona was too good for the midgets and they went down to a ten to -four defeat, only, however, after a desperate struggle had taken place. The next encuu11ter ended tragicallr. Chino Vocational's Class C organization, who later won the cup in their class, took it upon themselves to play a shut-out game of basket ball at least once during the season, :md Claremont was unfortunate!)' the victim. After four miserable nnd hectic periods the scorebunrd announced the result to be twenty-lwo to nothing, which speaks for itself. The following week a most re markable recnl'ery ensued and after holdiug the lead for three quartrrs, Claremont was only beaten in the last few minutes of play by the heavy Bonita aggregation with a paltry two points advantage. This game was i1 fine example of what "fight" can du tow.1rds the winnini; of a game. In the last game with Colton the men played withoul their usual pep and were beatl"n, elc,·en to one, in a ,·ery uninteresting contest.

Babson :ind Jefferson were the outstanding players 011 the Class C team through. out the whole season and deserve :1 great deal of credit for the ven• respectable show ing which the fellows made. Zorn, p!nying the last two games, proved a valuable asset, and, although he did not put in enough time to earn a letter, his work justi fies special mention. It is always difficult to tell just where the material for futur·/: Class C tc;ims is coming from, but, llCverthdess, here's luck for '28.

DE MAG!STRIS JUDICAMUS There is a 11uestion frequently aske<l of a fcllow-"Do )·uu like teacher?" 1'he usun! answer is either, "He's a good guy," "Oh, he's ]Hett} nr. "Say, he's not so good." These seem to sum up one's feeling;; in the matter rather con1plctdy. There arc onl)' three classes of teacher;:, the good, the bad, ;ind the indifferent Of . course, this is ii student's rating. The first arc burn, not m,idc; nor arc they a type, for they have only three charactcri�tics in common-iHtelligem::e, sportsnrnnship, and - the quality of being human occasionally. \Ve, the great unenlightcne<l, h:\\'c the most profound a(lmirntion and respect for tl1ese qualities. The indifferent have intelligence hut are lacking in one or perhaps both of the other cssenti.il 11ualities, while the re maining grnup are those who lack even the nece&-ary intclli1m1ce, for, sad as it may seem, every profession draws its quota of these. The first named class is well represented in Claremont High School facuh}', though thrr differ in all outward wars, and even in their method of puninJ! their in• formation acros.� to us. \Ve have a charrn'.ng, whimsical old man who wears a wide, black hat cocked on one side of his head, a woman with dark eres which wmetimes cause one to quake with fear, a young go-getter whu liter;1lly pounds histOT)' into us, and a phrsi<:s "prof" with a delightful southern drawl. And these arc not all, for we are well provided for. No four people could differ more, hut they al\ have those fundameutal qualities. Nor would we h�ve them alike, for imagine the dark-eyed woman we;Hing her hat cocked on one side of her head, or our whimsical old man with a southern drawl. We can't imagine it, for we arc sat�fied. Students are . critical of tenchers to an extreme degree a11d you will find them- keen in their judg ment of character. Teachers may come and teachers may go, but we will go on rnting them by the same three standards: Is he human? Is he a good spbrt? Does he know his stuff? DON REIMERS.

f �;:\":�;t
f9rt1-righl
to take the ball on the tip-off from centn, dribble down the sidelines and shoot. The on!)' thing which was technically wrong with this procedure was that the other forward was directly under the basket 11hout the time that Jim took his shot and if on!y the ball were pass.ed to this man a basket would be a practical cert;iintr. Unfortunatcl_v this was the one thing that i\IcCarthy could not or would not do. As a conscqucne<:, Colhrook <lid not score as 11fte11 as possible and it was from this fan that the subject for conversation was drnwn. At two-fifty o'clock that <la}' the Coach made a last :1ppeal to the team i11 their small training quarters and at three o'clock the relertt's whi�lc blew for the stari of the game. The basketball teams of both Hamilton anti Colbrook m:re as \·et undefeated a11d the game was of 11:reat importanc� to the two schools. The gymnasi�,n was packed with spectators am\ all the plnrers were under high llCT\'OIIS tension. In the opinion of the majoritr of those who witnessed the game. it was the fine?st exhibition of basketball pla)'ing that had en�r been scc11 on tlwt floor. The first half wa� fast and furious, with both teams scoring regularly, hut Hamilton seemed to h:wc the edge a little and the)' were two points ahead at the i11termi;;sio11. Jim McCarthi· \\'as playing his usual type of game, showing a Aashy piece of work now and then. !\ilany times Rill and Fred, ,dio were s,e;ited on the players' bench. emitted groam wht'n Jim was seen to t:ike ouc of his 1011g shots n"ith �lartin, the opposite forward, coming in under the baske1. Jim was keepinj!; up his n\·crage of about one ba,ket out of c\·er�• three tries. but 1his was not enough to win the game. so in the third quarter �lilton was i;ent into :\1cCarthy's forward position. Hnwe,·cr. the Colbrook ddcnsc so,on began to weaken and Jim re-entered the game at the ht-ginning of the fourth period. \Vhen Colhrook called for time out towards the last of the game thcr found that there was one minute to plar and that the score w11s twenr-one to twent_r-fo11r in favor of Hamilon. The running guard o f the home team, who was the rnptain, plc:ided 1rith his team mates to get in and fight for those four points 11·hid1 would win the game. As the cnptain ceased, the tired plarers stretched out upon the Aoor to regain their wind before that last minute of pla)'· McCarthy, apart from the rest, was within a few feet of the bench. Suddenly he he,ird his name �poken in a conversation which was taking pl.ice be1ween two persons on the hench and in an instant he was keenly alert, lislt'ning to ,dint Hill Harper and fred Newmeyer "-ere saying: "That big hick McCnnhy has prncticall�- Inst the gn111e for us," blusterell th(• former, "and there's nol a hit of sense in it either." "It makei; me sicl:. It's a wonder he couldn't \av uff the one-man stuff for one game anyway. Too had that one plarer has to ruin thC whole team.'• ·McCarthy sat upright :md an angry Rush crept over his Irish ·fare. So this WHS what people said behind a fellow's hack. T1·ying to blame him for the wav this game was turning out, were they? \Veil, he'd show them. And the11 a sponge full of cold, dear water was pas.--i:d over his hot face and scr\'cd to dear the turmoil i11 his mind. Hi� mrntal faculties became more acute and the good t'bmmon sens.e nf a s.on of old Erin was predominant in him. After nil. perhaps the,;e two chaps 1nre right; in fact. this musl ht' \\"hat the coach had been trying to impre� upon him all ;;eason, but not in anr forceful manner sm:h as rhis. Just then time in w11s called and tlic wl1istlc blew. Jim scrambled to his feet and rook the ball on tl1e tip-off as 1he center� j111n1,rtl. He dribbled down tlie side of 1he wurt, pivo1ed when he cmne to a Hamilton J..'l.lard. and shot. Although the ball had gone very nicelr into the ha�kct, Jim angrih,-upbraided himself. This was the l'Cry kind of play that was losing the g11me, \·Vith thirtl' ,crnnd� ,·et to play the centers again jumped and this time al�l :•11 c-C.trthy took the ball. Bill Harper turned his face to the 1n1ll, for he was sure that Jim would shoot again and he knew that h1• the law of a1·1:rnges he could !lot shoot a basktt in th� next two tries. Thi, game was as good as gone. Howel'er. to Culbrook's st1tr forward the sitllation FPrly-nin,
was entirely different, for in the Je.;., seconds previous his psychology had completely chan�. He dribbled the ball exactly as before, and as if in one movement, he pivoted and shot a fast overhead pass to Martin, who had only to reach up and shove the ball into the basket as the whistle blew for the end of the game. Colbrook had won the leailJ.c championship by one point! Martin was the hero of the day, but in that lut minute of play James. McCarthy had learned that team work pays. BLAIR NtxoN.

HIS GARDEN A rull of smoke ,bappeared on the horizon, and a little group of tired people �too<l, with straining <::)'Cs fixed upon two glistening steel rails that met i11 the far dista1\C('. They stood motionlc,;s until the waves of heat that came rolling across the dtiscrt blinded their crcs ll'ith patches of white that danced and blurred the land scape. Thl'n a 1:hild hc��ed to leave the glare of the sun, and the group moved lanp1idlv to the shdtt·r of a little store, which was surmounted by an inscription in dusty letters, "Old \Voman Springs-Geueral Merchandise." Tht' men, in careless llress, co11sis1ir.g for the mru.r part of old patched trousers, rngged straw hats ,md old shirts wirh sh.•c1·es !Orn off at die elbows, produced their cor!l-cob pipes and discu;;sed the rc1rt·a1i11_1!•train that had pa!<se<l thru their little desert town It was ,m C\"Cnt nf great molnent to see tl11: swift, blue e11gine rush past wi1h roar and whistle. A paper hill tluttertd on the railroad track till a pla)·ful, hot breeze picked it up, hlew it with one bold gust against the wooden steps of the rickety old station, an<l i.t 11·11� cornered by its captor in a dump of dry grass. It probably would never han: heen found, had not a child's bright ercs spied it. The little group. triumphant an,! hnpp)" to find a bit of reading new to their e1•es. devoured the mcagc.r COntt'nts ni a week-old newspaper, which was kindly and unknuwi11gli• leh bv some rravl'ler on the fast-moving train, A tnusled dog h:irked the approach of a cow-bor, who drew up his panting horse and laughtd gond-naturedly. His sombrero was pushed back O\"er his high forehead. his spurs were dust�·, and his red handkerchief w-as hanging from his "Hl'"r. old so.:nut, what's eatin' ,·er now?" shouted tht cow-bor as he looked half curiously and half pityinglv in the direction of the station house. No answer came, and the �rnup moved into a little white-washed hotel to hear the news from the more distant rnnch houses. On the porch of the quaint, !itthc rnilroad station sat an old man in a dingy blue uniform. The �ie� settled on his hands, hut he did not stir. except to close his eyes whe11 he heard the call from the IKI)' on horseback. High noon came and still he sat mo1ionle;..� (111 the Hool. fac:ng the mesa where !he rattl�nakes were lying lazily in 1hc sun, and :i jackrnhbit hopped noiselesslr acros.� 1he road. A cool breeze .irose. and the old man. who had not bt'"cn sleeping, opened his e}·es. He gave a dry soh as he looke,I out c,vcr the cactus fields that were 1101\" in rich bl1K1m. But he did not Sl'C the flowers of tl1e dc._�rt, nor the blue sweeps of lupine. He onl)• raised his e\·es to the hard, unrdenting sky. and again his head dropped upon his breast and he closed his evts tu rhink. After an hour in this position he arose and shuffled with difficulty i:o the edge of the porch and surl"eyed the desolate group of huiJd. ings-the store, the h,,tel that had had 110 guests for no om: kne\\· how many years, a corral for the hor�es when the cow-boys came to "town," a shant\' with the words "V. S. Po,;t Office" in�crihcd ahove it, ·and one or two other crudelv-crectcd bui!d i111?>. He could hear the rough, good-natured voices of the ranchers, who had gath ered to s"·ap horses ;ind storie,;, but his unseeing ercs that had tilled with tears were turned toward 1hc hot. blinding tracks down which the train had gone. The afternoon dragged slowl}' by. The odors of the desert were bringing relief to the heal of th.' approaching night. But 1he people of "Old \Voman Springs" were restless as ,lusk <!rel\· near. The \\"Omen were \\"hispering and running IO and fro. One with a teakettle in hn hand. a1101her grasping a water jar and doth, were hurrying toward the st:ition. The ranchers and their families gathered ;1hout the pord1 of the building. Some spoke quickly with frightened voices, and all wore anxious faces. "He al'a,·s was :t queer old rake-his head half-cracked-talkin' in that silk wa\' o' his. Couldn't m:ver git off that d:iffy subject, golden-rod," croakrd an o!d
''Hush, mother, the old man has hccn sick manv a dar; it seems th:lt ever since that first train 11assed thru here last year, it's hurt his he;id." "It's not his head, hut his heart," :ulded a third; "people who has lost their heads don't pine. An' once I even saw the tears come in his en:s, hut I didn't dare sa�· nothin', seein' l1im a \\·cepin'. an' he a statinn•m;1s1er. too. His heart is sick." A cow-hoy galloped up on horseh:ick and cried, "Is the old scout an)' worse? I went up after the doctoi, but he's out on a call at Lost Rock, and that, )"Oil know, is sixteen go11d miles." "Thert: ain't no hope for the ulc man, my hoy," si1id one of the rarH.:her� in a low voice, "He raves about yeller things and a Hower thcrcall goldcn-rud. 1 sorter guess he's dyin' o' lonc.,;ornencss. The feller ain't used to this 'ere desert life. Knw, as for mfsclf, I lib: nuthin' better," and he looked out over tl11: wastes. The sun was slowl}' sinking to 1he broad horizon. as they broui;hr 1he old man mJt _onto the small porch where an OCGL�ional stir of air relieved the unendur able heat. and the solemn group formed about him. At times he spuke a word of gardens and of flowers, and then he would look wildly un:r the landscape- before him, and 111urmur of trnins, nf strangers, and of the de�ert. The sui1 still lingered; it seemed to pause a moment to send a clear, golden i;:low acros� the hot desert waste. The old man opened his eyes and i;:azed nt :di tlu.: sun-worn faces ahout him, and then out U})(>ll the hlue lupine, magically turned to a deep rose color. His eyes brightened as hr cried, "It is here. m�- garden-my golden-rod. Louk. dear friends." He fell ba::k; his h.!ad drooped low; his eres do,;ed, :L<s a happy smile llicl.:ered atross his lips. The liule group of silent 11eo11le looked to the west, seeing only the setting sun, 11011 a du!! red, casting a rcl!ow light across the sky. _

DAWN A ghosdy owl, with wavering hoot proclaims Itself the sentinel of night; the moon Paints ghastly gray dim forms of trees and hedge That drip cold tears upon the grass below. A :startled bleat from huddled fold breaks forth, The prcyini, howling, wolf their stillness 5tarts. A cheerful son&- the slumbering world awakes, The sun, the sparkling beauty of the fields So ,wiftly shows, that lnstantly new warmth The shinii:tg trees enfold. The busy bees Their tasks take up; a silvery sona: comes From the meadowlark, and the day supreme is here. ERNEST M. LYMAN,
CHANGE The winter world lies cold and drear and gray, The windina: brook beneath its shroud is dead. The lcaHess oaks like hoary sentinels sway, And mother nature droops her drowsy head. Gay spring in all her glory now is here, The happy brook: its joyous song is siniing; The hoary oaks in vesture new appear, And all the world with mirth and joy is rin&ing. MARION WHIIIILH.,

MOUNT SAN ANTONIO Tonight majestic purple tints your crown
Surrounded with a mass of dimpled hills, As if some God had set his jewel down To gleam amid the golden 8cccc, which fills The sky as evening comes. When darkness falls The silvery ilow of moonlight will emboss Your peak:, until the very starlit walls 0( heaven seem to part with upward toss.
I journeyed to your slopes in search of gold, And found but jagged rocks and rotting trees On barren walls. The wind blew gusts of cold, White snow into my face, and sought to freeze My bleeding hands. No beauty could I find Though fa( I searched. All dead except the wind. FRANCIS w. s,uw.
LIFE He used to spend his days in wanderina:, Or fishina: in the rushing streams, Or huntil'!&'. in the treat pine forest. He dreamed that some day he would be a ireat man like his father. Today he sits within a dingy office Growina: old among the books he keeps; At night he goes home to a dreary room. He dreamed thaJ•JOffiC day he would be a great man like his father. BaucE H.u.wooo.

f1/11-u••111
DRAMATIC ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR 1926-27 Claremont High has much to be proud of in her musical and dramatic achieve•
ments of the past year.
Tl,e Student Body play, "The Gc:iosc Hangs High," was given on the nights of Ottember tenth and eleventh, and was adjud�ed by all who saw it an outstanding success. • Then on March t•ighte<:nth am] nineteenth, the High School Chorus presented "Iolanthe," the ddightful Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera. This was undoubtedly, nut only the most ambitious, but the most finished production of the year. The Junior Choru� appeared this rear on April twenty-second and third in "Once in a Blue M0011," of which they gave a very pleasing performance. The play chosen by the senior class was "Adam and Eva," by Guy Bolton and George Middleton. This was prsented, with the usual success, on May twentyseventh and eighth. "The Neighhors," by Zona Gale served as the commencement presentation for the Junior High School. The skillful direction.of Mrs. Hull in the plays and Miss Hitchcock in the operettas contributed l:uuely to their si.:ccess.

THE ROCKET Gaining altitude with sudden lli&ht, With miihty roar and trail of fire, The rocke;; upward makes its way. Slowly it curves, has reached its height, Still full of life, still sputtering fire, A burst of flame, and then displayed, A host of wondrous colored stars, Red, green, with rolors of the dawn, Now slowly sink, fading like magic bars Of eold, and all is gone.
