EL ESPIRITU DE '28 to �11Rs. CORNELIA HULL

El Esj>iritu now is yours at last. May every j>age remind you of a day We'fJe toiled and laughed together; of the dud1 '/?e't1e done, 10 flaliant in both wori and t,lay. And when the yellowed page1 of this booi We shall turn o'er in some far distant year, Let then a pleasant surge of memories Rush¡ bad to us and bring f,erhaf,s a tear.

Principal's Message

EAR after year the publication of the school annual is greeted with keen in­ terest. In a large measure it records the growth and achievements of pupils and school. All Jitope to surpass the accomplishments of past years. We learn from activities listed the part you have voluntarily performed outside of your regular class work. The school spirit which you have thus evidenced is appre­ ciated. Each u�der-classman ought to select with discrimination and determination hiS extra--curricular activities in order that he may, upon graduation, review his own record with pride. Most inspirational to me, as I go over past year books, is the wonderful develop­ ment which you manifest from grade seven to the completion of senior high school.: You enter as boys and girls and emerge six years later as young men and women with tremendous potential .power and boundless opportunity. May you live up to your capacity! Future years will find you and me spending pleasant hours going over familiar names and faces in El Espiritu de 1928, connecting them with mature people who will then be doing the real jobs of men and women in, let us hope, a big way. My most cherished wish is 'that your school experiences will have trained you to meet the suc­ ceeding years with courage and success. Graduates of 1928, we congratulate you I Your attainment makes us rejoice, yet we shall certainly miss you next September. Our daily intimate contacts cannot be kept up, but you arc c;ordially invited to return as often as possible. Sincerely, 0

As we of the Senior Class approach our graduation, we pause to look bacC on our record for the past six years. In 1922 we entered the doors of Claremont High School as seventh graders, and the six years ahead of us seemed to stretch very far into the distance. However, for most of us they have passed all too quiddy. We have always bee"n well represented in the various activities of. the school, and although we have done nothing spectacular our record has been a good one. For our graduation from the ninth grade we gave as otlr play "The Golden Doom." The next year we contributed largely to the success of the comic opera, "The Gypsy Rover," which was the first ambitious production ever attempted by the ninth and tenth grades. In our Junior year we were well represented in the Student Body play and the operetta, and this year we had important parts in the light opera, "The Chimes of Normandy" and the "Taming of the Shrew," which was the Student Body play. · We have been fortunate indeed in being under the influence of such splendid teachers as we have had. We do not know what the years may bring, but we feel that the training which we have received in our sojourn in C. H. S. will contribute much towards our preparation for what is· to come.

The lnnior Class As Juniors our year has been a very busy one. New �uhjects ha\"C brought heavier tasks and we han found our days filled with interesting duties. Early in the fall we occasioned some excitement by sprinl,!:illl,!; our sweaters in assembly \\·ith some !inly yells and spirited applause. Saturday, January 28, was spent at Big Pines where a snow day was enjoyed. There we had a delightful time tobogganing, skiing and sliding. \Ve took important parts in the opera ''Chimes of �ormandr," which was g:ivcn by the Senior High School Chorus, and also helped prodw.::e the Student Body play, "The Taming of the Shrew." \Ve are now looking forward to our last year, knowinl! that it_. wrll be far too short to accomplish all we wish.

The Sophomore Class As Sopnomorcs we arc realizing the hopes of our Junior Hi i.!11 School days, in that we are members of Claremont Senior High and participating in its activities with in­ terest and a spirit which is winning recognition for our members. In football we were represented by t,,·o lettermen, Vilinck and Thompson, and by a loyal support in the rooting section. In basketball and baseball Sjobeck, 'fhomp­ son and Viiinek made first teams. In dramatics, minor parts were given us in the Student Body play, "The Taming of the Shrew," and we were well represented in the chorus of "The Chimes of Nor­ mandy." As our Sophomore year draws to a close we are looking forward ro the time when as upper dassmen we shall share the major responsibilities of our Student Body.

The Girls' League this year had the honor of opening the new girls' gymnasium by giving a "l\lothers' Tea." This proved to be a very happy occasion for the room has a friendly atmosphere and the girls and their mothers found a real opportunity to become better acquainted. Other activities of a very happy year have been the pie and candy sales, and the dinner which was served to the football boys. In the spring we gave a one-act play, "The Rector," the proceeds from which will constitute our annual gift to the Orthopedic Hospital. Our programs have been most interesting and we sincerely appreciate the help and inspiration which our speakers have brought us.

Orchestra Never before in her history has Claremont High School had such a large and well-trained orchestra. Last year, for the first time, :\lrs. :\Iinnie ,\J. Howe was appointed as regular director, and by her able leadership and untiring efforts she has developed from .a small group of players, largely untrained, an orchestra of which we are proud. It has added greatly to the enjoyment of many school functions, especially our assemblies and dramatic productions. For its great and generous contribution to the life of the school the orchestra is certainly desrrving of our highest appreciation.

This year due to the interested efforts of l\Ir. R. H.

In �larch wr entertained the district convention at Claremont, in the Garner home, El Alisa!, and our repre­ senrati\'e was made chairman of the committee which drew up by-laws for the district organization. \Ve feel that we have had a successful rear and anticipate a still more active part in future years in the California Scholarship Federation.

Athletics Football

FOREWORD OR years Claremont High School has struggled a�ainst the handicaps of little equipment, no field, and a Student Body unable, because of its size, to finance athletics. Working under such difficulties, it is only through the spirit of sportsmanship, good will, and fight which the candidates for football have shown that our coach has been able to build up an organization to represent the school. Appearances would seem to indicate that the 1927 season was singularly un­ profitable for the athletic standing of the school. This is not the case, however, for the past season showed a steady remarkable development in the team, which was evident in both the attitude of the players and in their knowledge of fundamental football tactics. The team this year was light and there was much new material, since only Cap­ tain Nixon, Hadley, Thompson and Francis Hunter returned to form the nucleus of the aggregation. With the addition of Vilinek, C. Hunter, S. Hunter, Getzman, Browning, RobiTlson, Fellows, the two Jarvises, B. Madison, Fitts, Johnson, Ringe, \.Villiams, Work, Harwood, Popenoe and Swoveland, Coach Caldwell molded a team which showed the Claremont spirit, and proved itself a worthy opponent in every contest. After six weeks of steady practice, a first string was formed which seemed to be a well-balanced organization. The keystone men of the line were over average weight while the wing men were small but fast. One or two of the backReld men were shifty and fairly good at packing the ball, while the others were reliable at forming interference. This was the outfit which entered the first league game of the season.

CLARHJONT 6-CORONA 6

Claremont met the strong Corona eleven on Alumni Field for the first game. 'J'he Circle City lads went onto the field with a spirit of over-confidence, but soon after the first whistle they realized that Claremont was not to be regarded with con­ tempt. Corona was the first to score when in the second quarter Bailey, her shifty half hack, ran a punt hack twenty-five yards around Claremont's left wing for their one touchdown. Parker failed to convert. The remainder of the half was even, each team taking the ball to the opponents' thirty-yard line only to lose it on downs. A few well-chosen words by Coach Caldwell during the half served to stimulate the team to higher endeavor and during the third quarter Claremont also scored. Captain Nixon turned what looked like defeat into a possible victory. He took the pigskin on a twenty-yard run thru the Circle Cit)' team and was tackled on the three­ yard line. The other backfield men took the ball but only gained about a yard. On the fourth down i'\ixon carried it over. Hadley failed to convert. 'l'hompson played a good game at center and Vilinek showed up well in the back­ field defense.

Page Thirty-folff

CLAREMONT 0-CHl1'O VOCATlO1'AL 7 Chino Vocational furnished opposition the next Friday on their own field, which was a veritable sea of mud and served to complicate matters for Claremont. The inexperience of our line showed up early in this game. Chino's heavy back• field men made several long gains thru our line and were only stopped by Captain Nixon and Vilinek who formed the backfield defense. In an attempt to stop these plays the Claremont ends were sucked in, and in the third quarter '' Big Boy" Guit­ reau ran around the right wing for seventy yards to a touchdown. Claremont then tightened up and from that time smaller gains were made by the opponents. Claremont averaged more yardage than did Chino and seemingly deserved a victory which was not forthcoming. Injuries sustained by some of our players in the Corona game were largely responsible for a \\"eakened defensive. i\. cw men were in many positions and although they played good football, the team as a ""hole did not function properly.

CLARENIONT 0-BONITA 38 The Bonita game was one•sided and rather discouraging to Claremont players because of the unevenness of the encounter. \•Ve were outweighed greatly in both backfield and line, and scrap alone could not bring victory over such odds ris were faced. Acree did most of the backfield \\"ork for the Union High boys. Our line crumbled before Bonita's onslaughts, and a good backfield defense, composed of Ringe, Had­ ley a;1d Nixon, was the one factor in preventing a larger score. 'Thompson was undoubtedly the star of the line, stopping many Bonita rushes. Though repeatedly checked in the first part of the game, our offense began to function in the last quarter and worried Bonita somewhat for the remainder of the game. A game w·as scheduled with Colton but was postponed because of vacation and later forfeited I to 0.

CLARE�!ONT 0 C -HINO HIGH 25 Claremont did her best in the last game with Chino High School but was defeated 25 to 0. OUr opponents made a touchdo\\"n in each quarter, converting only the third one. --rhe fine work of Thompson, C. Hunter and Johnson in the middle of the line absolutely stopped all attempt at gains there, so Chino reverted to long end runs and passes. Robinson, S. Hunter, F. Hunter and Getzman did good work in the line but were outplayed by the more experienced Chino boys. Captain Nixon finished his high school gridiron career by leading Claremont's �ffense for some nice gains. Chino had some fast and heavy backs who contributed many gains to the total yard­ age and Claremont could not stop them. Thus the 1927 football season ended. Perhaps it was not successful, but at least we are aware of the intimation of a fast and well-coached team for next year, and one which will have the driving spirit to carry it on to victory. All the backfield

DEAR CLAREMONT

Dear Claremont, thy colors of Red and of Gray, Shall inspire thy true sons for the f�ay.

For the Red we will fight, for the Gray we will striv�,

We'll exalt them forever and aye J

We will honor, defend them, and keep them from shame, We'll be loyal, our Claremont to you!

Varsity Basketball This year's varsity basketball team averaged a higher percentage than did last year's, and ended the season tied with Bonita for third place in the Tri-County League. The material for the team was far better than in 1926. 'T'hompson was the only man left from last year's squad, but Nixon, Hadley, Robinson and \V. Jarvis­ all letter men-graduated from the lightweights, and, with Thompson, formed the new heavyweight team.

CLARB'IONT 26-CORONA 3� Our first game of the season, which was with Corona, was a far better game than the score would indicate. Hadley's eye for the basket was good, and he rang up sixteen points for the home team. Bailey was the Circle City's high point man "·ith eighteen to his credit. The game was played in Corona's new gymnasium and al­ though our team was not familiar with a wooden floor the game was nry fast. Thompson and Jarvis both did fine work at the guard positions. Robin,on played for­ ward, and with Nixon and Hadley piled up a good many points. The game m1s very close till the last quarter, when Corona managed to hold an eight-point lead till the end of the game.

CLARDIONT 2+-BONITA 23 Claremont's first win of the season was an upset, but was well earned. lt put Bonita out of the running for the cup and left Claremont tied with Corona for second place. The Cfaremont heavies started to pile up a lead early in the game and at the end of the first quarter the score stood 6-1 in her favor. Bonita immediately put in a number of new men but that did not stop Claremont's tide of scores and by the half the scorekeeper's book read 14-7. In the next quarter both sides ran up more points in about the same rntio. During the last quarter a desperate spurt on Bonita's part nearly ,\·on them the g-ame. How­ ever, an efficient five-man defense saved the day for Claremont. Brooks and Blaisdell of Bonita plarcd good games from the Aoor, ,\·hile Hadley and Nixon were Claremont's high point men.

CLARDIONT 23-COLTON Ii The Colton-Claremont game was very interesting. The home ream led from the start but Colton made points steadily and the final score was uncertain until the last whistle blew. Captain Hadley, although not in the starting line-up, shared high point honors with Nixon, each shooting eight points. 11ontoya. winning guard for the Cement City team, was Coach l\Iclnrosh's best point man with se\"en to his credit. The guarding of Claremont was exceptionallr good and spoiled Colton', chances for a victory by right defensive work. Page Thir ty-seven

CLARE�IONT 13-CHINO HIGH 20 'T'hc last game of the season, with Chino, was played under adverse conditions for Claremont, and "·c were beaten by 7 points. Chino shot 17 of their 20 points in the first half. "Red" Hendricks was the Cowboys' high-point man with 6 points. Cap­ tain Hadley played his usual good game and tied with Hendricks for high honors. Claremont had a difficult time finding the basket, the court being new to us. We started playing good ball late in the second half but it ,vas too late and served only to prove Claremont's fighting spirit. Corona later took the League championship by winning from Chino by a single point. Although it was the end of the season for the Tri-County League Corona and Chino High ·were left tied for first place, Claremont and Bonita for s·t:cond place, with Colton in the cellar. Of the five men starting the game Hadley, Robinson, Nixon and VV. Jarvis leave at the end of this year. Their: loss will be felt in all the major sports. The material for next year's varsity will come from the lighter teams, Thompson being the only letterman to return. However, Coach Caldwell will certainly make a good team out of whatever material is given him and therein lies the solution of any basketball problems of I 928 and '29.

Light-weight Basketball

Claremont's lightweight aggregation finished at the bottom of their league, but not without many close games, in which chance contributed mainly to defeat. The team was composed of two men who played heavyweight basketball the previous year and three others of varied experience. This bringing together of different types of players was a factor which, at least, did not allow the team to cooperate and function to the greatest advantage.

CLAREMONT 9-CORONA 12

The lights lost their first game of the season to Corona by 3 points. Jefferson was the mainspring of Claremont's offensive, while Jarvis and Sjobeck did line work on the defense. The game was a well-divided fracas. ln the last two minutes of play, Corona rang up the 3 points which won the contest.

In our second game Bonita defeated the Class B's to the tune of 16•0. Dowell made Claremont's only point on a free throw. The team was outclassed by the heavier Bonita five, but nevertheless showed a fighting spirit throughout the game, which alleviated some of the bitterness of defeat. Bonita scored steadily in both halves, showing the perfect offensive machine which later won them the League title. Our Class B's were in bad shape this game and could not seem to formulate a system to pierce Bonita's clever defense. Page Thirty-eight

CLAREMONT 8-COLTON 15 The Colton contest was another hard-fought game which ended unfortunately. The weight and inexperience of the Claremont team Were clements whiC:h fight could not overcome. Jefferson proved to be our ·Dest:- man, making some remarkable shots and playing the floor well.• Adams was the •C�cnt City's high.:.point man, his shoot­ ing equaling that of Jefferson: Both sides �red consistently, but Colton was faster, the score standing 8-4 ·at the half. In the last half the scoring was well balanced♦ and the game c�d _ ed with Colton 7 points ahe;d.

CLAREMONT 10--CHINO HIGH 15 The lightweights played another toss-up game with Chino High. The former displayed their first semblance of team-work since the first of the season, and only lost the game on breab·. Van Dusen of Chino was high-point man Of the day, con­ tributing 9 points to the Cowboys' score. G. Jarvis and Vilinek scored 3 points apiece for Claremont. ! The lights should have a good team next year as Jefferson is the only one to graduate from this year's team. He will be missed, however, for he has been a con­ sistent lightweight player for the past two years. In all, prospects and material look. good, so we'll hope for a Class A or B cham­ pionship in I 929.

Track The track ream this year faced many difficulties. There \ms on\�- one letterman back, the other candidates being unfamiliar with regular meet competition. How­ ever, Coach Caldwell assisted by Art Lillibridg:e from Pomona College formed a team that could be depended upon to offer good competition. The first meet in which Claremont participated, a triangular affair, was held at Colton. The latter school placed first with Bonita a close second. Sjobeck and \,Yi\­ liams were Claremont's point-getters, the former taking fourth in the broad jump, and the latter placing fourth in the furlong:. On l\Ian.:h 3 I, the Tri-County League Track and Field .\leet \\'as held on Jantzen Field at Colton. As was forecast by the results of the trial meet, Colton took first honors ,,·ith 59½ points. Bonita, Corona, Chino, and Claremont follo,,·ed in the order named. f\;ixon pulled a fourth place medal with a beautiful broad jump of 19 feet and 3 inches. ,v , are took a third in the mile run. The outlook for next year seems brighter as we lose only three men and this year's team has gained valuable experience.

Baseball The line�up of candidates for the baseball team this spring ·was very encouraging. Eight lettermen from last year's team were back and, with many new men out, a smooth working: organization "·as soon rounding into form. As wa� the case the previous season, there was need of a good pitching: staff. Had­ ley with two years of experience to back him up was very consistent with his delivery, and Vilinck worked as a relief pitcher to good advantage. A good infield was formed but the change of pitchers in various games caused much shifting around. This proved very detrimental as cooperation was lacking. Gerald Jarvis held a steady position behind the bat, Nixon played first, Ooda second, Sjoheck third and Robinson shortstop. The outfield was covered by Dowell, W. Jarvis and Vilinck. The fir::t half of April was spent in an intensive practice schedule; several games were played of which we won about fifty per cent. "Friday, the thirteenth" arrived with Corona High School our first League op• ponent. It proved a somewhat unlucky day for Claremont. In the first two innings there was fairly good ball playinl:! but after that Corona piled up a definite lead which resulted in a final score of 16•7.

Two weeks later we journeyed to Bonita. The game proved to be an excitinJ.! contest. At the end of the ninth inning the score was tied 3 all, and thirteen innings ,vere played in an endeavor to settle the game. However, darkness arrived with a 4 to 4 score and the game was called. The pitching on both sides was exceptionally good, and each moundsman lasted through the entire fracas. Vilinek contributed two points to Claremont's total of six, to carry off batting honors. A clash with the fast Colton nine on the Cement City lot followed on the next Friday. Although we met defeat to the tune of 9 to 3, the game was not without J.!OOd ball playing by both teams. Bailey and Bailey, the Colton battery, worked very well together, the pitching end of the combim1tion only allowing us one hit in his seven innings. However, we obtained three more in the last two frames. Hadley's pitching was not as smooth as usual because of the heat, but he hurled consistent ball during the whole game. Nixon's two base hit in the sixth was Claremont's be:-t play of the day. Colton's list of sixteen consecutive wins this season shows the ability of their team. Our opponents were "par excellence" in eveq• department of baseball and obtained their victory by smoothness and consistency of playing. The last game of the season, played with Chino on the home grounds, proved to be by far the best one. The team did exceptionally well in the batting end of the con­ trst: \-Vayne Jarvis had the most hits, three out of his four turns at bat. Vilinek gets credit for the best single hit of the day, a three bagger bringing in two runs. The rest of the fourteen hits were divided fairly evenly between the other members of the team. In the field also the team played exceptionally good ball. The fielding of Dowell at short, and of Sjobeck at third, and the pitching of Hadley were highli !,!hts of thiS end of the playing. In the first four innings scoring was divided but after that Claremont took the lead and kept it. For about half the team this was the last game of their �igh school career. At the close of the season Nixon had the highest batting average with a percentage of .353, followed closely by Captain Robinson. Although three or four valuable men graduate in June, there is good material to make the outlook encouraging for l 929.

Te1111is Thr pro�pects this year for a good tennis team seemed far better ti.an in 1927. �Jost of the members of last year's team were back, somewhat better equipped h� reason of previous experience. There was also considerable new talent. The team, which was picked was made up largely of experienced players and included one trans­ fer from another school. Hadley played first boys' singles; F'. Hunter second singles j Getz.man and L. Jefferson first doubles; G. Jarvis and H. Huddleston second doubles. The girls' team was composed of Beatrice Blanchard and Elizabeth Brown, first and second singles respectively; .\Iargaret Hudson and Virginia Dean first doubles; J\Iarie LcGaye and Charlotte Shaffer second doubles. The new system invoked in the Tri•County League for the first time last year proved very popular. However, this year the plan is to hold individual tournaments with each school in the League for the purpose of awarding insignia and determining the league championship. Later a general tournament is held with all schools com­ peting. The winner will represent this League at Ojai. In the preliminary meets, Claremont ended about the middle of the list. The main tournament has not been played when the Annual goes to press. The progress which tennis has m:1.de at Claremont High this season is indicative of a promising future for this sport. Ho\\·ever, some of the membcr'i of the team graduate this year. This will necessitate an assimilation of new material from among the younger aspirants in I 929. Page Fo/'ly.four

This is the first year that Claremont High School has had a Girls' Athletic Asso­ ciation. It was organized late in the fall under l\fiss Crane's direction and officers were elected. Interclass basketball was the center of interest in the fall and winter. Insignia was awarded followin� a spread in the new girls' gymnasium and an all-star team announced. Interclass tennis matches have been held ttnd six girls entered the league tennis matches. There has also been much interest in ba!-eball. The Claremont \•Voman's Club has presented a silver cup to the Assm:iation to be awarded each year to the class having the highest number of points in interclass competition.

"The Rector" At a pay assembly given in the Auditorium on \lay 18, Rachel Crothers' well kno\\'n one-act comedy, "The Rector," was presented to the Student Body by the Girls' League. The cast, under the direction of Francis Sha\\·, played their parts very well, each one presenting a distinct character often found in the country parish. Francis Hunter as the young rector, showed promise of a leading man for future hii:!11 school productions. lWargaret J\orton, the cheerful, smiling country girl, was characterized very ,nil by Norma Norris. Virginia Dean made a charming Vic­ toria Knox, the society butterfly. 1\lary Alice Jacqua gave a good interpretation of .\lrs. Lemrning:wonh, while both Frances Lc\\·is as l\[rs. l\Iunsey, and I\Iary Louise ,\lartin as .\liss Trimball took their parts very \\'ell. Janie, the rector's maid, put color into the play as she was presented by .\lildred E\rnrt.

THE FASHI01' SHOW One of the most interesting events of the school year was the f"?Cond annual fosl�ion show, held 1\larch 29. The program was planned as a spring: number of "Vogue," and an enlarged edition of that magal-ine was :so arranged on the staj!e that the models stepped out of its pages, wearing the frocks which they hid themselves created. Pages i n costume opened the book and the mannikins not only displayed their gowns but presented musical numbers as well. A chorus of seventh grade girls in aprons and caps made in the sewing class sang "Just Look at 'T'hat, Just Look at This," from ''The Chimes of Normandy." Beatrice Blanchard sang- a solo, El:-ie Clc\·enger delighted the audience with her whistling, and l\Iargaret \Veinberg gave a piano solo. The orchestra played throughout the performance. At the clo�e of the pro­ gram refreshments prepared by the cooking class were ser\'cd in the librarr, where other articles of the handiwork of the se\\·ing classes \Hre on display. The program was as follows: "Society and Paris Shops." "Princess Isabel and Enfant Phyllis." "The Smart ,vorld Goes to Europe." "Summer Fashions l\Iake a Claremont Debut." ''The Younger Generation.'' "Society Snapshots on the Lido." "Seen on the American Stage." ''Petite Samples of Vogue Fashions."

Special Assemblies NINTH GRADE On Friday morning, November 18, 1927, the school witnessed the presentation of a realistic bit of early California life. The incident, which was portrayed by the ninth grade Civics Class u�nder Miss Peterson's direction, occurred in J 776, when a group of white pioneers, consisting of men, women and children, paused for the night on their way through Pomona Valley to San Francisco Bay, where they intended to establish a settlement. Those who took part in the presentation were Grace :McConnaughey, who ex­ plained the program; Ward Turney, who related an Indian legend in character; Frances Popenoe and Gladys Kittinger, who presented in dialogue a description of the colony; Lee Garner and Henry Haskell, who read extracts from letters and diaries of the colonists. The entire class participated in dances and songs of the period.

SPANISH CLASSES On the Friday morning before Christmas vacation the careful work of E. Senor Ewington and his "Clases Espanol," was shown in the pleasing Yuletide program ,vhich they gave. An atmospheric prologlle was presented, the first number of which was the salute to our flag by Spanish students. Following this four Mexican boys demonstrated a typical Spanish Christmas game. Spanish dances were then pre­ sented by Margaret Hudson and Charles Watkins, Mary Louise :Martin accompany­ ing on the piano. The main feature of th� program was a play which had for its underlying theme the song, "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night." Parts were taken as follows: He \Vho Seeks, Louis Wheeler; The Chiid, Catherine Clevenger; the Father, Ned l\.Iassee; The l\1agi, Revere Johnson, George Work, August Ringe; The Devil, Wayne Jarvis; The Virgin, Norma Norris. A group of girls appeared as angels and the boys of the classes represented the shepherds. During the manger scene Georgia Ray Horton, Roberta Smith and Grace NlcConnaughey accompanied with the music of Christmas hymns.

HAD heard much of the handsome roung navy officer who had previously · visited \fary's family, and although not all of the reports of him were · fayorahle, I was exceeding:lr anxious to meet him. Accordingly, \,·hen l was informed that he "·as due in Claremont the following Sunday, and that if l came over I might be introduced�to him, I \\'as very much excited. i\Jary had told me he ,ms not at all the "sheik" t�·pe, but that on the other hand, he "·as a very sober youth, completely wrapped up in his \\'ork, and 1 so far as she knew, he never even noticed girls. Then she-; added that I ,,·as pcrfectlv \\·clcome to him if I could get him. So L decided that insf�ad of tr�·ing tn impress hi;n with my knowledge of the navy, as I had formerly intended, l would "vamp'' him. I spent all Sunday morning inspectmg my sister's closet for suitable "vampish" clothes. Then I borr1rn·ed her best high-heeled slippers, and donned the outfit as gayly and as confident!.\· as a plumed knight rides forth to battle. But when I came to the door of .\lary\ house, I felt as the knight might ,,·hen he met his first adversary-a little shaky and not quite so enthusiastic for adventure. However, I' �-ummo11ed my niurage and "·,dkcd in. Harlan Thorpe looked very natty in his Ensign's uniform, and for a blonde, was truly good-looking. "\ Vhen .\ I ary had duly introduced us, I minced up co him and said sweetlr, ''\.Yhcre have you hern all my life?" He looked astonished, to say the least, and stammered, "VVhy, er, I don't kno"· exactly, I must have heen at Annapolis.. " I heard J\iary having convulsions in the next room, so I thought I ought to amuse her some more.

"You knm,·, ladies prefer blondes as much as gentlemen," I said. He looked more astonished than enr hut I !,!ave him no time to reply. I said, "Oh, Harlan, won't rou come for a walk with me? I have something vcq, special to tell �'ou." ''\,Vhy, I was }!Oing to discuss-" "Oh, never mind that," I interrupted him, " please come with me. I've-" I stopped short. There "·as a. commotion outside. Suddenly my sister burst in. "Elizabeth BrO\nl, come right home! Kate wants to go out and she's hunting all over the house for those dothcs. She's awfully mad!" I felt a scarlet wave flood mv face. Embarrassed, I made a dash for the door to escape further mortification. But alas, the high heels were too much for me I tripped on a rug and sat down. I felt so humiliated that I almost cried. !\ly sorro,,· speedily turned to dire an).!er, ,,·hen I discovered that .\Ir. Thorpe was laughing as though he had never laughed before. But I did not }!i,·e vent to my \\·rath, for he came to my rescue and the world gre,,· bright as I heard his voice, shaking with amusement, whisper, "Do you ever go to mo,·ies 011 Sundays?" -ELIZ,\BETII BROWN Page F'ifty-l1i:o

Caprice HE cook was in a state amounting almost to ncrYous hystcri:1 hecausc her little son had clicd. As a result the supper had been abominably cooked, and Jim was in a petulant mood. The direct cau.-;c of hi� temper, however, had been :111 inoffen!-ivc book of Trig-onomctrr ,d1id1 he had consigned to a far corner of his room with undue haste. Then he had stepped out onto the street for a breath or two of fresh air, and now under the influence of the mistil_,· smiling moon he was slushing through the mud toward Shiba Park at a pace that ,,·as proving ruinous to his trnusers. His speed ,,·as occasioned both by petulance and ily the l'.hill in the air, which was threatening to freeze the mud into hard ruts. He entered the park hy a narrow bridge path ,,·hich was so \'err steep that a rider who cared anything for his horse always dismounted for either ascent or descent. As he neared the top of one of the hills he in\'oluntarilr slowed his pace, for the way was almost impassable after the rainy dar. \Vhen he reached the top, he approached the foot of the paguda ,d1id1 crowned ir;; cre5t, and then turning from it, looked out over the citr. Here was no jangling medley of sound such as echoed up to him from New York. He had always rather regretted this. hut now he was glad for the silence. After a time when his pulse had slO\nd down, he turned, his spirit quieted. and walked down the other side of the hill to make the walk home as long a:- possible. His feet led him unconsciously toward the fi\·e Jizo at the far end of the park. They had always seemed wmehow pathetic to him. He had wondered why these little monk-like gods, or g-od�like monks, should have little children's hih-: tied around their necks, and pebbles heaped at their teer. If the pebbles had been thrO\rn the incense burners would have been broken. He cuuld find nu satisfactorv explanations for these things. He reached the Jizos just as the moon was hidden by a cloud, :-o that he could harcl}' sec a figure that approached, weeping quietly. He stepped hack- into the shadu,,·s at the other side uf the road to watch. After lighting some incense and clapping her hands, the woman l1i{n:red her head and began to prar. Jim could just hear enough to make out that her little sun had died, and that she was asking the Jizo to help him pile up his number of stones in the world berond, so that he might go to the ''land of innocence and bliss." She ho,\·ed again, and taking a carcfullr made hih from one of her slct'\'C:'., she tied it reverent!�, around the god's neck. Then with a sob she began heaping up pehhles around his feet. As she rose, a faint ra�' of moonlight from between t,1·0 clouds fell on her face, and showed her to be Teru, the cook. \Vhen he saw her face Jim understood manr things. Very much moved, he turned and left the place, and went quictlr home. -HoR11ci:: E. Co1.E.,1AK. JR.

An A/Jo/ogy for an Apology I\E dar last week I received a surprising note from a friend of mine which filled me with a real sense of horror every time I thought of it. This friend announced that she had an apology to make, but felt it was too serious to commit to writing, and therefore, if I would meet her in a certain place the follo,\¡ing noon, she wOuld apologize to me in due form. I felt myself shudder as I finished the message. You see, I h:1d had experi­ ence before with that sort of thing; and I had been far more embarrassed than the person who wa:s apologizing, and almost humble, and full of shame. .My cheeks would grow hot, my heart would heat so hard that it actually hurt me and I felt faint and sick. Under those conditions you can easily imagine how I felt at the thought of g;oing through such an ordeal. Besides I had no idea what my friend was apologizing for. Indeed the whole situation made me so miserable that I resolved to ward off the apology if it was possible in any way. As soon as I had a free period I wrote and told her that I had no hard feelings and that an apology was absolutely unnecessary. :\Iy letter was long and I fairly implored her not to apologize. Her answer was prompt and to the point. She was so relieved that I felt that way about the matter, and she ¡was only too glad not to feel that she must apologize. As I read this note I felt, peculiarly, a deep sinking feeling and a sense of chagrin. I was extremely disappointed and my curiosity was aroused to the highest degree. In my mind was the question, "What was it that she would have apologized for?" -Lois BROWN I have never 1.:eased to wonder.

Pi,ukm and t!te flltellect OST people think that high school football is about as f•xciting as a game of chess. The general consensus of opinion seems to he that it's all right and proper to sec a high sl.'.hool game, provided you have the patience to stay to the end. But in spite of all the drabness which surrounds these particular contests, surprising and interesting situations sometimes ari:-c which seem funn�' enough when you look back on them-but not so funny at the time. I remcm• her especially our football team last year. ''Biff" told me particular!�• not to men­ tion this case, hut now that he's gone I (an't refrain any longer. I come from a high school where the boys J.!raduatc ''mag:na cum lauda" at fiftt:cn years of age. with a bottle of milk in one hand and an "Out!i11e of Political Economics'' in the other. Seems like the whole lot is undersized. That's the result of living in a burf! where they spend valuable time developing what's between the ears, instead of educatin}.! a few pairs of feet to run in a broken field properly. "Biff" Riron, whose Christian name is Stanley-which is of 110 importance, blows int? town about the first of September last fall. In two or three days me and him are very well acquainted because of the fact that he is the son of a football coach. and my family is also not officially recognized b�• the high intellects of the com• munity. I do not mean to say that Uiff was dumb, for that is far from true. 1 think he knew more about applied psycholof,!"y than any t,n;:lve guys in the sdwu!, as he soon proves to my satisfaction. VVhen Hiff and I is good friends, \\·hich is only a matter of a week or two, I inuncdiatcly starts tu beef to him about the deplorability of the football teams around our institution.· Iliff determines right 1hen that the situation in this line of endeavor ,,·ill not be the same this year. As he wci1.d1s around a hundred and eighty pounds and is about six feet one, I don't doubt this statement in the least. School opens in about a week, and on the first day we discovers, to our great dis• appointment, that \\·e will have no regular football coach. E,·idently the team we put out will depend largely on our own ambitions, and the cfficienc:.• of whoever we elects captain. A few minutes after this brilliant news is gi\'en to .tis Biff declares to me that he will n0\\. start a campaign to make a fast and hard-hailed team from this arid bunch of youthful Aristotles. By no"·, of course, Biff and I is inseparable companions, and I am getting an inside view of his mind and personality. I am amazed to sec that he instant!�· makes friends with every fellow in school who could possibly climb into a pair of padded pants. I have found. much to mr satisfaction, that Biff has sort of a per­ sonal magnetism about him even if he is a roul!h looking guy, and from the war he immediately capti,·ates the boys, I figures he will likely turn out a j,.!ood team �ct. The only subject which I have studied extensively for the past three years is foot­ ball, and as Biff is overflowing with kno\\'leclge along this same line of thou�ht, we seems pretty well :-ct. \Nell, through my influence. he i� cltncd captain.

Suits arc issucJ, and practice starts \\·ith a larger turnout than we have ever haJ around sd10ul fur any team except the debating team.

Bitf starts to \rnrk five <lays a \H'ck, nobody excused. You'd think that at least half of that outfit ,yould quit the first week, but only one guy out of the twent\·-four does. This is because Biff hits him su hard in some exhibition tackling that he is still suffering from internal injuries. Our captain sure demonstrates his po,\-er to keep the boys out at practice. Every night each one ,nwks up a sweat that ,rnuld do a prize fighter-proud. 1 gets the first real kick out of life that 1 have had around that institution for some time.

In six \\·ccb of practice the boys is good and hard. \Vhcn we gets through with this .\li<hale Outfit, ,Yhich i:- our first league opponent, the school j.., so shocked that nothing is said about it for five days. The storm breaks. After that "\\'e had 1001/c support for our game:-. Biff i:- in the quarterback position, and I'm repos­ ing in the fullback birth. \,Vith me and him alternating at carrying the ball behind the fastest charging line in the league, we has a mighty slick ball club. Biff is the pO\nr behind the throne, and if inspiration, and loyalty to a captain eYer makes a football team, it sure made ours.

\Veil, ,n just manages tn romp through each team in the league with enough points to ,Yin the game, until we comes to the championship playoff with Grcyton High. The rating of this outfit is pretty good, but Biff has the boys all pepped up. 1 was gettin).! real enthusiastic ahout having a championship football cup in the glass case to outshine the lntersdwlastic Honor Student cups. I was amazed ,d1en l revie\\·s the wonders ,d1ich Biff has performed with this bunch of cake eaters and Romeos. He has actually made them into the hardest-boiled squad in the country in t,Yo an<l a half months. \Vhy, ,Yith Biff to egg them on, these bitbies are do\\'nright ornery. 1 realizes that studying philosophy and political science all night ha:-- become a thing of the pa:--t. l kno"\\·s that l 'm no student, and Biff not appearing to he either, we has final!�,, l think, squelched this cerebral activity.

The day of the Greyton game arrives and 1 don't sec Biff until l comes into the locker room just before the game. There is dark circles under his eyes, and he looks fagged, hut I can get no information as to the cause. \Vell, I will not deal much \\·ith the game itself. Biff puts all the energ�, he's got into the first half, hut it's plain to be seen that lie is done before he ever enters the game. His pep, speed and judgment has disappeared into :space and he barely manages to stagger through the last half. Our aggregation is completely demoralized. The final score ,ms 27 to nothing in favor of Grcyton, ,d1ich explains itself.

Biff and I is the ]a:-,t ones out of the locker room that evening and we's both so tired that we don't feel much like talking on the way home. Biff's condition that afternoon sure puzzles me though, so l asks him what the trouble is. All he sap; was, "l was trying to graduate at the end of the first semester with honors. Crammed all night for an econ exam this morning." Png(J F'ifty-six

There shows up before he maintain,

it is in a nutshell. Good night! The greatest football player that ever around our institution turns scholar just like the rest of these guys were still trained them out of it! Graduating with honors! \\'hooey! and always will, that the pigskin an<l text books just don't mix. -HLAIR ,'.\11xOK

The Desert Br Jay the desert bakes beneath the sun, i\lirages shimmer on its sandy wastes, Both air and ground arc de;1d for lack of rain, And living plants seem burned and dried away, \Vhile birds and beasts have fled with fiery da,,·n­ The desert dies by day.

On Reading Shakespeare

-VIRGINIA DEAK

VVhen one reads Shakespeare one must concentrate, or else miss oh, so many im­ portant lines. Perhaps this does not apply to every one, but to me cor�centration is a necessit}'·

Two acts of "Hamlet" to read! Thirty lines to commit to memory! I settle myself comfortably, open to the page, and lose myself deep in contemplation of a cer­ tain line, when sudclenlr m�• sister in a shrill voice demands, "\.Yhere did you put mr French book?" I pause long enough to snap back, "I didn't have your book!" and attempt to focus my mind on Shakespeare, "To be or not to be-" "Well, for Heaven's sake you're sitting on it! There it is, right under \'VlJ and you said you didn't know where it was!" -" 'To he or not to be, rhar is the question; \Vhether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer-' " "\Viii you please get up and let mt: get it? l\ly goodness, you act as thougi1 rou didn't even hear me!" " 'Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer and-" "For the last time-get up." "Oh, good night!" I shout, "Can't you leave me alone?" And a long argument ensues during which time Shakespeare is entirely forgotten At last having exhausted her supply of words, my sister departs, and again I take up Hamlet. "'To suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles-'" "Yoo hoo! Dinner's read�,, and please come now before everything's cold." (i\1y sister again.) l dose the book with a bang, and stalk in a bad humor to dinner, repeating half consciously to myself, "'Or to take arm� against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?' " -VIRGl�IA DEAN Puge Fifty-eight

Independence Higher up, and out above the little to\\m, on a lone hill in the darkness, is quiet. Below and across the space of stillness are the twinkling lights of habitation.

The

town is busy with itself, and blind-nothing but a little sphere of narrowness, conâ&#x20AC;˘

raining many other smaller spheres. All is little and shallow, each sphere wrapped contentedly within itself. The motion of the larger ones accelerates the spinning of the smaller ones, so that the individual, the smallest of them all, can barely maintain his own independence of personality. Stop revolving for a while and find yourself !

Look towards the mountains, at the

stars; feel that sense of one-neďż˝ which is always possible. to your sphere.

Then, if you must, return -HENRY WARE

Calendar S,·plemlHr-

12--A golden shaft of light gleams in the enst And o'er the slowly \rnking desert spreads; Arise, ye tribes, for 'tis the morn that we, After three months of rest, do !-tart to toil Across the Sands of Knmdcclge and of Life. Now, ere the sun hath faded in the west And brought this day of learning to a close, The young men of our tribe, our warriors bold, Assemble in a mighty throng to hear Ho\\' to defend and to uphold our flagAs red as is the rising- sun of truth And grey, as is the desert grim and sere. l+-�ow in groups we arc summoned and giwn (According to our ranks, or high or lo,\·) Pouches in which to bear our burdens, on Our journey in the quest of learning fair. 16-At length our Sultan calls us all to him, And l,!ivcs to us our Code of \Vork and Pia�·, And tells in gentle yet in forceful terms How we must strive to rai:-c our standard high, Yea, higher than the greatest rribes in Persia. And then the Juniors with much mirth and cheer, Do flaunt their nc"·-made cloaks before our eyes. 8right blue arc they, like midday skies, and tan As our tanned face:-, la:-hcd h�• storms of life. And ,\·e, their ciders, smile and gaze with pride Upon our cloak:, of royal blue and gold. 23-i\"ow they who guide our journey hard And those who lead our smaller groups, to-day \>\'ere brought hcforc us, and we cheered them all. And on each one of us our doctor turnCd His eres far-seeing:, and in accents grave Pronounced our fitness for the voyage harsh. 27-To us from yet a mightier Persian tribe Have come young would-be teachers of the Law. E'en though they may he fearful, much arc they fn earnest, so we'll guide them patiently. Pt1ge Sixly-thrcc

Those who in drinking from the cup of life Have tasted the red wine of Honor bright Gathered together and proclaimed their Shah.

JO-Another tribe sent forth a gifted one \,Vho told to us a story sweet and sad \-Vhich made us weep. And then as one we joined Our lusty voices in a mighty choir. Now those who make our music for us played, And w� with full hearts listened pridefully. And then we heard about the revelries Which shall be ours-the clders'-once a month.

October-

5-This day the women of our tribe gathered And talked about the work that they should do­ To fill the cup of Good, and fling aside The cup which holds the wine of Vice and Sin.

10-With rapt heart-beats, we who love to sing Strive each a favored higher place to gain In the coming pageant of most joyful song.

I I-The gray phantom of morning comes at last, Ending a weary night of sleeplessness, And brings to each the knowledge of his place.

1-l--A few of those who from our tribe have gone In search of glory in the Sultan's court, Came back to us to-day, and made us glad By song and music, rare and beautiful. 19-\V • e met this day to choose a fiery youth, Athirst for life, of spirit never-quenched, To lead us in our cheers and battle-songs.

20-Ovcr the Sanely \,Yastes of Life we've toiled One month ! Apd now we do rejoice who've worked Right faithfully and well, and weep, we who Have shirked our Duty and remained behind. 21-\.Yith "Allah Akbar" ever on their lips Our warriors rushed to battle grim and fierce. Rravely and gallantly they fought and though They won nor, nor yet were they defeated!

28-\•Vc cheered for our bold warriors who to-day \Vent forth to battle grim. Our hearts beat loud, Our hope was high; they fought both brave and well;

Page Sixty-four

But tricky Fate was 'gainst us. We are sad, Yet never will our fiery spirit die! 31-Strange shadows o'er the graying desert flit, The pale moon sheds a ghostly light o'er all The camp, and weaves a mystic spell of fear. The Saints pray, for the Devils dance tonight.

November-

4--A bitter struggle entered we to-day; Our brave youths were conquered, but their spirit Will never be defeated while they live. 14--0ld books and rare, and faded manuscripts Containing legends of the Ancient Tribes, Are brought to us this day. They are to us Most interesting and all most curious. I 7-Lo, Time hath brought us far in these grim wastes, Tomorrow's goal is one month nearer now. And once again we gaze with awe and fear Upon the records of our daily toil. 18-Again our warriors fought a splendid fight, As only youths of sandy Persia can. And then they feasted royally and well. 24--Although this journey may seem hard and rough, And we grow weary of the struggle long, And wish to quit the Path across the Sands, Yet still the Vision calls us on, and still Tomorrow's glory smiles. So on we trudge, With a gay laugh for hardships and a song For toil; with hearts not longing for the things We lack, but thankful for the things we have. 29-This day the trusty steed of our great Leader Gave forth queer noises, quite as if some ghost Or spirit dread were torturing its sides!

Deumher-

9-The Spanish teacher and his class prepare For our delight a charming Christmas p1ay, Which tells for us the story of Christ's birth.

12-There came a student of photography Whose magic pictured those who were most wise, So that their smiling faces gaze at us From out the pages of the Record Book. Page Sixty-five

15-ln this assembly tent magnificent, New clothed in richly 'broidered tapestries, The chorus to display their talent sang "The Chimes of Normandy" for happy men.

I 6--The Princess Crane and maids of grace and skill Presented dances of the Persian tribes. 17-To the�vacation oasis we've come, And we shall rest from long and weary tasks, Till Sultan Thompson calls us to our work.

fanuary-

l-To-day we pause to muse awhile on life, To wander through the Garden of our Hearts, And separate the weeds of this past year From the red roses. Let us then forget The deeds we've done of which we are ashamed, And vow to start again anew-to live Our lives as nobly as we can-to love Our fellow-tribesmen as ¡we do our brothers, And last, to laugh, though tears may dim our eyes, Or our hearts break from Love and Loneliness.

13-Around the Council-Fire our tribe did gather To read the ancient Book of La,vs, and on Its faded yellow pages to inscribe New rules, to fit our modern needs and will.

I 6-ln future time when we shall think again Of this march and its sorrows and its joys, VVe will desire something more tangible Than hazy memories. So we have made A record clear and bright of wisdom learned Of the adventures we have had this year, Of the deeds done, of glorious battles fought, A record dedicated to this year, In which we played and worked and laughed together!

20-A mighty battle did we fight to-day, Far off upon the field of Baskets great. Our tribesmen fought as only youths can do VVho value Honor more than Victory And hold high Virtue as their standard proud. 27-This day there's great rejoicing in our tribe. The sun shines just a little brighter now,

Page Sixty-six

The silver moon shines just a bit more clear. For on our March we've reached the Halfway Mark:. Whatever hardships we have had ere this Are now but mem'ries pleasant and serene, And joyfully the future we acclaim! 28-Just as a falcon, freed from prison chains, Flies swiftly to its native haunts, and there Rejoices with its fellow-birds; so we, Freed from the toil of half a year of March, Soon hied us to the mountains far away, And in their snowy canyons gayly played. 31-A pageant full of fun and frolic gay We plan to give; and now we k.eenly vie For honored places in its envied ranks. February-

3-Our past achievements and our failures now Can never be forgotten, since the seal Of Fate has stamped itself on written records. -The night was rainy, the bright stars had died, The timid moon had shrunk from sight; and we Witnessed a fray as grim as was the storm, From which our warriors bore the laurel proud. 10-And once again our mighty tribesmen fought, ¡ And once again they triumphed o'er the foe, And now the silver grail of victory Before our dazzled eyes shines bright and fair. 13-There came from far across the desert sands A Sage of Painting wise, who photographed Our humbler tribesmen and our warriors great. 17-So gallantly had our brave warriors fought The goal of conquest shone before our eyes. Yet when we sipped of the red wine so.sweet Of triumph, it turned bitter in our mouths. 21-One balmy day before the close of school Our young men gathered in the Council Tent To band together in a Hi-Y tribe. 22-To those whose pens are skillful and sincere, To those whose minds with weighty thoughts o'erflow, Are given prizes for their essays grave. Page Sizty-aeven

29-This day the youths must gallop o'er the sands And hide with care behind the lonely dunes. For "Leap Year Dar" is treacherous for them. A1arch2-From the great tribe of Pomona College, A maiden came to read to us about A Thursday Night, and great was the applause And praise she did receive from all who heard. 18-The runners of our clan are practising, For all the tribes of Persia are to meet And choose the fastest of these gallant youths. 21-We held to-day the first of tennis games. Oh, brave and strong and swift were they who played But stronger still were the Coronians. 23-The orators of our small tribe have met And given their own speeches on our Law. And ere we travel farther over Sarlds, Our chosen one before the Great of Persia Shall try to win the cup which shall be placed Beside the others in our tent of Fame. -The palms before our tents by many youths And maidens dark were guarded, while the poles Of the chief tent were by the faithful lovers Upheld in all their quarrels, sorrows, joys. To-day our Sultan ordered youths to sports And left the maids to keep the poles alone. 29-This day those in the art of weaving skilled Presented a pageant of fashions new In latest styles; and greatly were they praised For quality and care shown in their work. 31-The braves of 'frack to-day their contest held. Our greatest runner won a place of fame, So justly proud and happy was our tribe. -i\llarching o'er the Sands of Life is hard, And often we are tired and wish to rest. And so when an oasis cool and green We come to, we give thanks to Allah great. Apri/-

9-Forever does the Hand of Fate play chess, That game of Life and Death, with Destiny,

Page Sixty-eight

And we, the helpless pawns, are moved again Out from our peaceful squares of rest and joy To battle with a world of Knights and Kings. And now once more before our stupid eyes Are hurled the records of our past month's work. 13-The atmosphere was grim and tense to-day, Unlucky was the time for our brave youths. They fought upon the baseball field of battle, And were defeated by the sturdy foe.

20-Qh some may sigh for glory and renown And some for Opportunity's rare smile, But we sighed for a day of fun and joy In which we might forget our toilsome march And laugh the laugh of jesters and of fools. There goes a whirling Dervish, and there A youth with maiden's gaudy rainment on. A wonderful and mirthful sight indeed These many Freaks who revel giddily. 20-21-Over the purple desert on these nights Resounded joyful laughter and gay songs. And all the tribes of Persia came to see Our mighty play, "The Taming of the Shrew," 24-For "Public School Week.'' on this starry night, The ones whose talents lie in instruments Played sweetly in our mighty orchestra. And those whose lilting voices do surpass The golden measures of the nightingale, Sang as that King of Songbirds never did. And then a Shah of reputation great Gave a wise talk on "Education's Worth." 28-The maidens of the tribe who are as brave As gay, as lithe as are our warriors proud, Went forth to-day to battle for the clan In games of tennis, hockey, and in track. May5-We are oppressed. Our toiling and o�r work Have fraught our minds and made us long to pla}'¡ So now we journey to the water's edge, . Where sands are golden, and the waves dash high. There to forget that we have work at home, Page Sixty-nine

But to make merry while the day shall last. The sparkling sun smiled down upon us all, And 'twas with sadness that he sank from sight To show us that our playing time had past. 11-13-0ur tribe is gay with laughter for at last The Record Book of our great work is done. And nqw the makers of the book have planned A ho! iday where all can play together. l:;-or three short days we lay aside our tasks, And go to the great sea forgetting all, And when the time is spent we come again To our forgotten toil, and read1â&#x20AC;˘ all To go the last few leagues across the sands. The tribesmen who are musically inclined And love to sing or play great instruments, Present to all who care to come and hear, A program filled with melody divine. And we, the listening, applaud and praise The talent and the skill that they display. The maidens of our clan who yet are young, And not as worldly wise and learned as we, But filled with kindness and with hearts of love, Have labored hard and toiled right sturdily To give to all the Senior women of the school, A time of frolic, free from toil and pain. So we together in the Tent of Wisdom dance, Forgetting all are not of equal rank, But joining hearts and hands in friendship strong. ]u11e-

1-As nearer draws the end of our short i\1arch, They think of those who soon will leave the clan, And how unguided by their wisdom true The rest shall journey on. So those who next Shall be the mighty leaders give to those VVho have thus far led them across the sands, A great reception as a tribute fair. 2 Now all the people of the clan are come To meet once more ere this rear yet has waned, And there with laughter and with joking too, The mighty Senior tribesmen, show to all How they 1 the humble underclassmen folk, Page Seventy

Have acted in this year that just has passed. And though they may be vexed and irritated, They hear right humbly all that has been said, For now the Seniors leave them never to return. 4-The mothers proud have planned a banquet fine, For all the youths and maidens who will leave Their homes as they will leave their clan. To-night The students gay were taken to the place Of feast and did make merry in that Room. 5-The older students of the Junior tribe In our assembly tent to-day received Diplomas, symbol_s of the mighty work: That they have done, while traveling o'er The mystic, ever-shifting desert sands. 6---After a year of toil and hardships grim, Of vexing disappointments and of tears; After a year of laughter, joy, and song, Of deeds accomplished, and of dreams come true­ By steady, cheerful work, in spite of woe, We've come to the end of our March at last, And stand upon the shores of the blue sea Of stormy tempests, yet of sunshine gold, The ocean of Tomorrow's Mystery. And we must now embark upon that ship Where Fate plays dice with Human Destiny, To sail through unknown dangers to strange lands. But we are ready, firm is our intent To battle gales with smiles, to do our best Forever, for we know that that alone Can gain for us our heart's sincere desire, And bring us to the Harbor of our Dreams. -TAMAN.
