I.

All of us have at some time during the course of our high school careers felt the value of his guidance as teacher and as counselor. For his willing and unstinted assistance in the de­ velopment of our school projects, we have been continually grateful. Those of us who leave the school this year feel that a friendship has been formed which will not end with gradu­ ation. We of the Annual Staff are happy to dedicate this year's El Espiritu to Mr. William W. Booth.

Probably there has not been a time in history when world affairs have been so complicated and critical as at present. This, so far as the United States is concerned, is no doubt due in a large part to inadequate training for straight thinking and right-action on the part of individuals. Such a situation offers a real challenge and great opportunity to energetic young people. May each of you choose to make the preparation for action which will contribute most to the welfare of the world, and therefore to the enrichment of your own life! @ I wish to congratulate the Class of 193 6 and extend to them best wishes for health, happiness, and success in all worthy things in future years. We shall follow with considerable interest the progress of each graduate. To all the students I desire to express appreciation for helpful cooperation in making Claremont High School a good place in which to live and develop. The great gain which students can make physically, mentally, and morally, from seventh to twelfth grade, inclusive, is of utmost importance. I hope each will find the most friendly and help­ ful associates for the desired maximum improvement while a member of the Claremont High School.

The members of the graduating class have been fellow travelers along the school highway for some years. Along with the pleasant stretches of road have been steep grades, detours, and washouts. The last miles have been difficult but now we stand at the top of the hill where we pause, not only to view the alluring valley ahead before we travel the unknown road but to look back and consider what we have accomplished in our journey together. ® Perhaps this class will best be remem­ bered for its athletic prowess. The team which won the Tri­ County League Football Championship for the first time in thirteen years, included ten seniors. Life pins in the Scholar­ ship Federation were awarded to three from our number. Like­ wise, in other school activities the class of 193 6 has played an _ important part. ® Before we go forward to new and un­ charted experiences in life, we wish to leave behind us, to those who have blazed the trail, a knowledge of our apprecia­ tion for the help and guidance they have shown us.

The Junior Class is rapidly progressing toward a lead in school activities and success as a class of Claremont High School. It was somewhat inactive during the first semester but regained momentum by giving a successful barn dance in the girls' gymnasium on February 29, and a ship's dance a few weeks later. On March 5 the play "Wild Hobby-horses" by John Kirkpatrick was produced as a pay assembly, the pro­ ceeds swelling the class fund for the Junior-Senior Reception. @ Great pride was manifested in the emblem sweaters, which were sprung after some amusing maneuvers. @ We had the pleasure of being the first class to experiment in the correlation of United States History and English as a basic course. We found the plan greatly to our advantage. @ Juniors-For­ ward March! Turn neither to the right nor to the left, but keep to the road! ... Halt! Retrospect! Resume your march!

This year has spelled both welcome and farewell to the Class of 1939. It marks probably the greatest change in high school -the end of Junior High, the entrance into certain Senior High activities, the acquaintance of new teachers and new sub­ jects, and the introduction to broader vistas of learning. The responsibility of the Christmas play, "Christm:as Eve" by Seumas O'Brian, was borne almost entirely by the ninth grade. ® As the first semester's get-together, a costume party was given, and the beach party of the secoQ.d semester is always eagerly anticipated. The willingness of the Class of 1939 to assume responsibilities has already been demonstrated. Its members will continue to cooperate with the rest of the school in achieving ends for common benefit.

The highest honor bestowed upon any student of Claremont High School is the Kiwanis Cup award, made annually to the young man who most nearly conforms to the highest possible standards of sportsmanship, achievement, and character. Last year this award was made to Frans Nelson, student body president, and football captain. In addition to maintaining a very creditable record in academic work, Frans was a main足 stay in the field of sports, making his letter three years in foot足 ball and basketball, and two years in tennis. He was a member of the Letterman's Club for three years and was elected to the presidency as a Junior. As a Senior, he was given an all Tri足 County position in basketball in recognition of his straight, clean, hard-fought game. @ He was also active in school dramatics and music throughout his years in Claremont High School. 速 The school and all with whom Frans came in contact are proud of the fine example of clean sportsmanship and high scholarship which he set, the goal of those of us who follow.

When school opened on September 16, the students. were greeted by the first issue of the school paper, the Wolf Packet.

The new year saw a change in the advisorship of the paper, Mr. Martin succeeding Mrs. Hull as director of the publication.

Having been an active student in journalism in college, Mr..

Martin has proved to be an inspiring and capable adviser. ÂŽ Although the bi-weekly paper is a small one, it serves the purpose of keeping the students well informed as to their school activities and gives them an opportunity for expressing themselves. Special features of the paper included Alumni, Gossip, and a column devoted to the literary attempts of the more ambitious students. ÂŽ Jean Helmick, editor in the first semester, and Emily Johnson in the second, have worked hard to make the paper worth while for the students. Although the Wolf Packet is principally a Senior High School project, it reflects the interests of the whole school and it is hoped that the Student Body will continue the undertaking in the future.

SCHOLARSHIP SOCl�TY The purpose of the Scholarship Society is to provide not only an added incentive to good work but also a chance for broader education. The group began the year with so few members that they drew straws to decide on the officers: Emily Price, President; Joseph Crutcher, Vice-President; John Pierce, Secretary-Treasurer. As other students discovered themselves eligible, however, the membership increased, and in the second semester was larger than it had been for some time. ® The first semester was marked by an eventful trip to the Exposition at San Diego. The choice was a happy one, and. the all-day excursion threatened to set a precedent. In the Sp�·ing another trip was taken. ® The Chapter sent delegates to the South­ ern California C.S.F. convention of which Emily Price is Secretary. At the end of the year the life members were enter­ tained at a luncheon given by the rest of the group. Officers for the second semester were: Dwight Bulkley, President; Virginia Pierce, Vice-President; Joseph Crutcher, Secretary­ Treasurer.

The Girls' League this year, as previously, has been one of the most active organizations in the school. The most interesting project undertaken was the annual football banquet which was followed by a dance in the library. Another important event in the life of Claremont High School is the Formal sponsored each year by the Girls' League, this year unique in that it was a leap year dance. This also was held in the library. @ Another interest of the year was the organization developed for the benefit of the new girls who enter school each fall either as seventh graders or as new-comers to Clare-¡ mont. In May a one-act play, "Look Pleasant, Please," was given as a pay assembly. Ž Two conventions of the Girls' League of Southern California are held each year. Claremont High School was represented at the Fall Convention in San Diego. In the Spring a convention was held at Huntington Beach. This was the social session of the year and the day was devoted largely to swimming and other sports. Frances Bernard, President, and Jean Helmick, Vice-President, were delegates. Other officers for the year were Secretary, Alice Miller. and Treasurer, Emily Johnson.

Pegasus is way up there; I am way down here; It must suffice to catch a hair That happens to fall near.

I only write of sunsets Of the vivid evening skies.

To tell the truth, I sleep too late To see the sun arise.

Scribblers is a carefree organization made up of students inter� ested in creative writing. They meet twice monthly at the home of a member, and their contributions are read anony� mously. Then they are open to criticism. This is the most interesting part of Scribblers. Each member wonders how the others will interpret his work, hoping that they will laugh at his humor, appreciate his tragedy, or perhaps be shocked. ® The members are grateful to Scribblers' mothers, who have so added to the enjoyment of the meetings by their gracious hospitality.

S�NIOR HIGH STUD�NT COUNCIL The Senior High Student Council, organized in 1932, feels that, with the hearty cooperation of the Student Body, this year has been well spent in furthering the cause for which it was established, student participation in school government. ® The organization is composed of the executive officers of the Student Body, together with the president and an addition­ al representative of each class. The editor of the Wolf Packet is also a member. Officers of the council for the first semester and second semester were presidents: Joe Crutcher and Jean Miller; vice-presidents, Jean Miller and David M·acHarg, and secretaries, Emily Price and Judith Page. ® In the meetings, which are held the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, the problems of the students are brought up and taken care of to the best of the council's ability. ® It is the hope of the organization that the Council will improve as much in the years to come as it has developed in its first four years of exist­ ence, and that it will become possible to do those•things here­ tofore unaccomplished.

JUNIOR HIGH

STUDENT COUNCIL

The Junior High Student Council which has successfully completed its fifth year of service is made up of the Junior High Executive Board together with the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade presidents, and representatives from each grade.

At the beginning of the school year the following officers were chosen: .Arthur Tracy, president; Janet Robbins, vice-presi足 dent: and Maria Miller, secretary. 速 Beside the discussion of immediate school problems, this Council also engages in char足 itable activities. It successfully sponsored the Red Cross drive in the Junior High School, and filled the Christmas boxes for the poor. It was also in charge at Thanksgiving time of boxes which were given to the various charitable organizations in the valley and distributed by them to the n_eedy. The Christ足 mas play, presented each year by the Junior High as its chief contribution to the student body as a whole, was sponsored by the Council. @ We feel that this organization is very worthwhile and we hope it will continue in proportion to its success in the past five years.

The stage crew started the year under new direction, Mr.

Charles Arrington being faculty sponsor for this activity. The first event of interest on the schedule was a trip to the Cali足

fornia Exposition at San Diego, where a special display of

lighting was studied. Some of the devices exhibited have been tried out and have proven practical and effective.

速

The

major projects of the crew have been the sets for the Student

Body Play, "The Late Christopher Bean," and the Orchestra Program, "Carnival on High C." In the latter the deck of a

passenger ship served as the setting for the evening's action.

Lighting and sets for five one-act plays were provided.

速

Early in the year all of the old sets were recovered with new canvas and some other effective improvements in equipment

and arrangements were made. A visit to the California lnsti足 tute of Technology stage craft department is anticipated.

The Radio Club is a new organization in Claremont High School, having been in existence only this school year. Quite naturally the membership is small, which is an apparent ad­ vantage. Care has been taken to include members from as many grades as possible, to insure continuation of the club when members leave it through graduation. ® The first pro­ ject of the club was the construction from basic parts of a modern all-wave radio to be used in the Physics department.

This has been completed and others will be undertaken. The club is also able to make itself useful about the school attend­ ing to odd jobs where electrical apparatus and radio are in­ volved. At the end of the school year a demonstration by the club is contemplated. ® The group has been assigned a small room in which are facilities for radio work. Meetings are also held in this room, which adjoins the Chemistry Laboratory, generally during a free period or after school hours.

GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Girls' Athletic Association has been very active since it was established. The purpose of the organization is to pro­ mote sportsmanship, cooperation, and physical well-being among the girls. 0 To become a member, fifty points must have been acquired, which means that a girl must have made at least one team. An initiation is held at the end of the hockey season, in conjunction with a spread, which is held after every sport. When a girl has earned five hundred points she receives a letter, and for a thousand points, a pin. ® This year "after school sports'' were held twice a week. In the course of the year five sports-basketball, hockey, speedball, tennis, and baseball-were taken up. At the end of each season a Tri­ County League Play Day was held. This year, because several new schools were added to the League, it was not possible for all the schools to meet at one place, and so two play days were held. ® The Claremont girls had an outstanding year but they were particularly successful in hockey which was their home play day sport. The hockey team was under the manage­ ment of Jane Fakler this year. The managers for the other sports were: Carol Libbey, basketball; Alice Miller, speedball; Helen Stys, baseball; and Niles Davis, tennis.

LETTERMAN'S

CLUB

The Letterman's Club of 1936, with Champ Thompson as president and Joseph Crutcher as secretary, was composed of a fine, energetic group of boys, whose activities were outstand足 ing in all branches of athletics. The association started the year with a large project before them. In previous years the club had awarded sweaters to athletes winning three major letters in a single sport. This year, the group_ found that twice the usual number would be required for this purpose. @ To increase their revenue the boys set to work to construct a fence around the athletic field, and aided by Teuscher and Lake, as mounted guards, admitted only those who purchased tickets to the games. Later an exceptionally successful carnival was made possible by the efforts of the group. @ As a climax to the year's activities the club made its annual trip to the beach where new members were formally initiated. Those receiving honor sweaters for four years were: Steudler, Thompson, Swoveland, Crutcher, Massee; for three years: Libbey, Dem足 ing. Nicholl. Kunkle, MacHarg; for two years: Ramsay, Bre足 haut.

ORCHESTRA

The Senior Orchestra, consisting of twenty-six instruments, has had a very satisfactory year under the direction of Mrs. Howe. The first public appearance was made on the occasion of the American Legion program during Public School Week, and later in the fall music was furnished for the Student Body Play. ® In January the two orchestras presented a very interesting program, "Carnival On High C." The Ship's Orchestra, in distinctive costumes, was so popular that follow­ ing this event it appeared by request on a number of programs in the community. ® The Music Festival, which was held late in April. was the work of the combined chorus and orches­ tra. Here the orchestras made a very valuable contribution to the evening's entertainment. Later appearances were on the occasion of the Senior Play Program and Commencement. ® Those receiving orchestra pins were: Helen Stys, Gertrude Metcalf, Alice Miller, Joseph Crutcher, John Pierce, Joe Immel, Raymond Holtz.

ORCH�STRA The Junior High School Orchestra has had an unusually large membership, finishing the year with an aggregation of forty­ five players. Throughout the year they have furnished excel­ lent music for assemblies and other special programs such as the Christmas play. ® In the annual Orchestra Program this organization presented several numbers. A violin ensemble and a string trio, chosen from its members, took part in the "Carnival in High C." These special groups have made several other appearances both in assemblies and on the programs of other organizations. The year has been a very successful one.

SATURDAY FIELD TRIPS During the second semester Mr. Forney, Mr. Arrington, and Mr. Booth conducted trips on Saturdays to points of interest in Los Angeles County. These excursions were open to Jun­ iors and Sophomores. About twenty from each class were taken in the school bus once a month. Everyone participating in the excursions found them interesting and worthwhile. ® The places visited were: Cudahy Meat Packing Plant­ February 8; National Schools, Exposition Park-March 14; California Institute of Technology-April 14; Planetarium -May 16.

ANNUAL FASHION SHOW In May the annual Fashion Show was given by the girls of the Sewing and Physical Education Departments before an appreciative audience of other girls and many mothers. In groups and singly, the girls modeled an array of good-looking clothes from pajamas to suits and dresses.' Graceful dances added beauty and interest to the program.

FOOTBALL

"In life, as in a football game, the principle to follow is hit the line hard, don't foul and don't shirk, but hit the line hard."

-Theodore Roosevelt. ® On the west wall of the boys' locker room this motto confronts the student. It was placed there by Coach Lyle Martin soon after the building was occu­ pied, and it embodies the principle of his coaching-a good, clean, �ard game, and may the best team win. ® For twelve years Claremont has watched the Tri-County League Foot­ ball Championship go to the other larger schools of the League, and yet each September has seen the football squad start out with renewed determination to win if good sports­ manship and hard, persistent effort could win. This year the splendid coaching of Lyle Martin and the fine, cooperative, fighting spirit of the team under Captain Champ Thompson succeeded, and Claremont, the smallest high school in the League, won the championship. All Claremont was proud.

The service clubs, Kiwanis and Rotarian, joined in presenting to each player on the team a gold football in recognition, not only of the winning of the championship, but of the fine spirit he had shown. The football season of 1935 was a memor­ able one.

CORONA

CLAREMONT 19-CORONA 7

Claremont High School Wolfpack won its opening football tilt in the Tri-County League, by defeating the Circle City eleven 19 to 7. ® At the opening of the first quarter neither team was able to penetrate the other's line, but the second quarter found Claremont leading by a margin of 6-0.

Claremont again scored in the third canto, increasing its margin to two touchdowns. Steudler opened the fourth quar­ ter by intercepting a pass intended for Captain England of Corona, to score, giving the Wolfpack a still larger margin of 19-0. Corona took advantage of its only chance to score in this quarter when the Wolves fumbled on their own ten-yard line. The game ended with the score 19-7 in favor of Clare­ mont.

DOWNEY

CLAREMONT 7-DOWNEY 6

Claremont's second Tri-County League game was at Dow­ ney. It was a hard-fought struggle for both teams. 0 The Wolfpack scored first in the second quartei:. They started a steady drive down the field which was halted on the six-yard line. The team having beep. penalized to the eleven, Steudler took the ball to the six, and on the fourth down threw a pass to Joe Crutcher in the end zone to score. Steudler also kicked the placement for the extra p;int which soon became the slim Coach Lee William's margin of victory for Claremont.

Vikings returned in the third to score. Starting on Claremont's forty-five-yard marker, three passes put them on the Wolf­ pack four-yard stripe from which Captain Parslow scored.

Their try for the extra point was a line plunge which was halted by Captain Champ Thompson with only inches to spare. The score was still deadlocked 7-6 in favor of the Wolves as the final gun sounded ending the game.

CHINO

CLAREMONT 1 2-CHINO 6

By scoring in both the second and fourth quarters. th2 Clare­ mont High School Wolfpack defeated Coach Otis Brooks' Chino Cowboys 12-6 for their third straight victory. Both teams showed fight and played a great game. ® The first quarter ended with neith_er team scoring. The Wolfpack opened the second by Steudler's passing to Deming, who ran twenty-four yards for a touchdown. Thus the half ended 6-0 in favor of the Wolves. The Chino Cowboys came back in the third to tie the score from a blocked kick. ® In the fourth quarter Claremont, with the determination to win, started its final march to victory. With the ball in the hands of the Cowboys, one of their aerial attacks was intercepted on their twenty-nine yard line. The Wolfpack then opened another aerial attack with a pass, completed on the five-yard line.

Steudler then took the ball over center to score. His place-kick for the conversion was wide, as the game ended.

BONITA

CLAREMONT 3-BONIT A 0

On the afternoon of November 15, 1935, Claremont jour­ neyed to La Verne to meet a still undefeated Bearcat eleven.

On this occasion the Wolfpack not only defeated the Bear­ cats but also broke the jinx that has held the Wolves for thirteen straight years. To give any individual players the credit for the game would be unfair, because the entire team played consistently throughout. There was cooperation from every member of the team. ® The first half found neither team penetrating the other's fifteen-yard line. with both teams doing considerable kicking. 0 Opening the second half, Blanchard blocked a Bonita punt and Swoveland recovered.

Then the Wolves marched down to the Bonita fifteen where Nicholl, realizing that the Bearcats might hold them, gambled Ramsay, Holtz, Nicholl, Swovel�nd, Pierce.

on a place-kick by Steudler from the Bonita twenty-nine yard line. To the frantic cheers of the crowd the ball sailed between the goal posts. With four minutes left to go, Bonita opened up an aerial attack which took the Bearcats from their fifteen to the Claremont twenty-five. The last-minute thrust failed when the pass fell incomplete in the end zone and the gun sounded.

PUENTE

CLAREMONT 20-PUENTE 6

With the Tri-County League championship within reach, Claremont entered its last game determined to win. However, neither teiim was able to score in the first quarter. Opening the second canto, Peterson, Puente fullback, intercepted one of Claremont's many aerial attempts and ran forty yards down the sideline for a touchdown. Their attempt to convert failed. ® To open the third quarter the Wolves kicked to the Dons, who fumbled, and Claremont recovered on Puente's fourteen-yard marker. In four downs Claremont made seven points. Three plays later Fred Steudler inte.rcepted Serrano's pass and scored from Puente's forty-yard line. The conver­ sion was also good. For the final six points, Steudler broke loose to run forty-five yards for a touchdown. ® The fourth quarter was like the first, neither team being able to penetrate far into the other's territory. Thus Claremont High School defeated Puente to win its second Tri-County League cham­ pionship in school history.

S.C.I.F. PLAYOFF

Ending a most successful season, which brought them the championship, the Wolfpack entered the S.C.I.F. playoffs against the Southem California Military Academy of Long Beach. This game was a good battle for both teams, with Claremont holding the lead at halftime 7 to 0. ® In the second half Claremont revealed its strength, beginning a steady drive which resulted in three touchdowns, making the score 28 to 0. This brought to a close the 193 5 football season with Claremont in possession not only of the Tri-County League championship but also of the S.C.I.F. championship in the minor division.

EVER ON As long as San Antonio Rears crowned head on high, And with a courage born of years, Stands forth to meet the sky, Fling wi-0e the colors of your heart, The flaming red and gray, And keep them with the souls of Spartans Fast from shame alway.

CHORUS:

So on, on, on, to win for thee, And if not victory, to breast defeat.

Claremont, yours our loyalty, Yours a spirit none can meet, Ours the task to foes defy, Ours the will to ever cry, On, on, on, though strength be gone, gone, gone, For Claremont ever on.

As long as there is left a breath, To speak for Claremont's name, Till only spirit's very death Make deeds proclaim her fame, Cry loud the name of Claremont High, Voice loyalty in praise, Till courage flushes every eye, And spirit carries days.

So Claremont, heart and hand to thee, When from thee we are sent, An eternal thing our loyalty, Forever still unspent.

May Claremont ever loved be, Defended till the end, Till e'en her proudest enemy Her spirit shall commend.

LIGHTWEIGHT

FOOTBALL

Football season opened this fall with fourteen players in suits.

Under the leadership of Coach Orville Thomason, the light足 weight boys won two practice games, tied one and lost one.

They defeated Victorville 12 to 0, Cal-Prep 19 to 13, tied Fremont 12 all, and lost to Emerson 6 to 0. In league compe足 tition the team fa_iled to click in spite of consistent effort. In their third game, which was with Chino, Claremont scored in the second quarter but failed to hold this lead as their oppo足 nents started a march to the goal which was not to be stopped.

This was the first time in two years that Chino, who, incident足 ally, won the championship in the lightweight division, had been scored upon in league competition. Outstanding for Claremont were George Walton, fullback; Richard Strehle, end and halfback; and John Lincoln, halfback. Credit must also go to the boys in the line who did their share so that the backfield could score their touchdowns.

GOLD For six years Ed Ruxton had roamed the plains of Arizona. He had farmed, teamed, staged, punched cattle and worked as a day laborer in the mines. For the most part his wages had been good and his friends true. He had, it seemed, no reason for his discontent­ ment. Yet from the time he had left his home in the East there had been this feverish thirst for something-gold, he thought-but no, it wasn't gold. And even if he had a fortune he wouldn't keep it long.

He saw no reason why he should. Perhaps, as he said, it was just that he liked the excitement of being right up against the earth, trying to coax her gold away, to scatter it. But whatever the urge was, it was irresistible. He felt that another of those endless night shifts in the mines would be unendurable.

Ed had worked hard. He neither drank nor gambled nor squan­ dered his money in other ways. His six years of hard work had yielded him a savings of three hundred dollars, enough to fit him out with a crack prospecting outfit.

So he set out one morning, just as -the sun was coming up over the Buttes. With his burros, his rifle, canteen, and prospector's pick, and about thirty dollars in cash, he was headed for the Huachuca Moun­ tains, where he intended to prospect.

Eight days of toil across the burning desert, and Ed was behind the first range of the Huachuca, ready to pitch his permanent camp.

He chose a cave under an overhanging ledge, out of range of the blazing desert sun. The entire region was infested with Apache Indians, so every evening, about nightfall, he tied his burros at the mouth of the cave. In this way none could enter without disturbing the animals, thus warning him of their approach.

For months be lived there, alone in the mountains, seeing no white man, save a few desert-hardened old prospectors. Even they were few and far between. Then, just at sundown one evening a scouting party passed. There was a girl with them,. the first white woman Ed had seen for months. She seemed to him· very beautiful.

The days dragged on as Ed started out hopefully each morning with his pick, canteen, and rifle, only to retl!rn at night tired, almost despairing in his fruitless search.

One evening, however, he returned with some samples that did look promising. The ore was available in seemingly unlimited quan­ tities. Ed was greatly excited. He was sure he had made his great strike.

Early the next morning he started across the desert for Tucson, and the assayer's office, with his best samples in a bag strapped securely to his shoulders. In his haste it was necessary for him to leave his tent and most of his provisions inside the mouth of his cave,

55

with only the unwritten law of the desert as security for their safe­ keeping. At noon of the second day he was entering the door of the assayer's office.

"Howdy, Ed," greeted Dick Gird, the assayer. "Got some samples?"

"Yeah."

The furnace was still hot, so Gird pulped a piece of the ore and "put it through." 'TU have a report for you in ten minutes, Ed." ''I'll wait."

The ore had "gone through." The assayer was checking his table.

"Ed, these samples assay about fifteen dollars to the ton. In plain language, these rocks are practically worthless."

"I-I'll be going." Ed stumbled toward the door.

"Where are you going, Ed?" 'Tm going back. I've found nothing so far, but I will find some­ thing some day."

It was late the next afternoon when Ed arrived at his cave. Imme­ diately upon entering he was conscious of another presence in the cave. A voice spoke. It was the sound of a young woman, and Ed's heart thrilled at the sound.

She was telling him now, how her father had headed the scouting party that had passed Ed's cave only two weeks before. She was relating how the Indians had attacked their camp only two nights since; how her father had led her to safety behind a great rock, from whence she had seen him fall with an arrow through his heart, as_ he turned again to the aid of his men. Finally she told him how she had discovered that she alone survived, and how, in her extremity, she had dragged herself the endless miles back to Ed's cave in search of food and shelter, only to find it apparently deserted.

Ed offered his few quiet words of sympathy and was off to the spring after water for the evening meal. He returned just as the sun sent its last lingering rays into the canyon from between the two rugged peaks to the west. The mountains dropped their shadows across the face of the girl who waited at the mouth of the cave. Now Ed caught her trusting gaze. He looked into her eyes long, and deeply.

He knew that his search was at an end at last. Ed Ruxton had found his "gold."

DEFEAT

The night of December third was known for the worst storm in twenty-five years. Travelers, who were fortunate enough to find cover, told of their harrowing experiences from the blizzard which raged up and down the McKenzie River.The thermometer dropped rapidly from ten degrees below zero to fifty-three below.Old King Winter had the Northlands fairly in his grasp and was striving to tear everything down before him.The great trees groaned and bent beneath his icy blast.

In a snug little one-room cabin, seemingly lost in the great wilder足 ness of the north, four men sat around a roaring, crackling fire.

"Old 'Kananka' is sure blustering through his whiskers tonight.

He sounds as if someone had stepped on his toe."

"Well. this is one fire he won't get."

"Oh, I don't know.We haven't much meat left, only enough for tomorrow, and our wood is running low.If this storm doesn't let up by tomorrow one of us will have to get wood, and two others, meat.

It's best for two of us to go together. There's less chance of accident.

I'll go for the meat. Who wants to go with me?"

All three men voiced their eagerness to go.

"We'll draw straws.The one who gets the shortest straw will stay to watch the fire. After we draw, we'll see that the dogs are all right and turn in."

The next morning the storm was as bad as ever.Having finished breakfast, the three men set out; the man who was to get the wood, with the sled and dogs. In a few hours the man returned with his sled piled high with wood.

"By gar! Me deeg down t'rough snow.Find plentee wood."

About noon the other two staggered up to the cabin and fell against the door, exhausted.They were carried inside and warmed by the fire.As soon as they were able to talk they told their experiences in short. clipped sentences.

"No luck. Couldn't see anything if you stepped on it ...The storm almost got us."

Several days later the men were mere gaunt shadows of them足 selves and were getting weaker as the storm ,seemed getting stronger.

They were too weak now to try to get food.They had plenty of wood so that there was no danger of freezing.But death from starva足 tion was staring them in the face. That night one of the men went mad and had to be tied down.He died short! y before morning.

"By gar!" mumbled the halfbreed through thick, swollen lips, ''We all be dead by'n bye.''

One of the other men was pretty far gone.He lay on the bed, too weak to move.His breathing, no longer regular, soon ceased alto足 gether.

"Dat bird, la'k de crow, wit one eye, bring bad luck," muttered the halfbreed over and over again to himself. The third fellow died that night.

The halfbreed forced his eyes open in the morning and dragged himself over to the stove. He dropped a few pieces of wood on the glowing coals and sank back in a stupor from the effort. He stayed by the fire half-conscious all day and at night dragged himself into his bunk. The wind outside seemed to be howling and shrieking with joy. 'Tve got you. I've got you. I've got you."

About one o'clock the fury of the blizzard reached its highest pitch and then quickly subsided, leaving soft, white snowflakes drifting downward through the trees.

The sun rose on an endless world of white. Here a bird darted in and out among the sunbeams filtering through the snow-laden branches of the pines, and there a squirrel climbed to the top of a forest giant, chattering with delight at the warmth of the sun. Sud­ denly, from the rear of the little cabin, where he had taken shelter from the blizzard, a buck leaped forth into the sunlight. He listened a moment for sounds of life within, but silence prevailed. Winter, the King of the Northlands, had triumphed again.

SAILS

Richard Strehle, '37

Oh, I shall set sail for the Land of Dreams On a quest that will not be done.

Just one perfect poem's my ship, it seems, And so I must pick out the One. Now would I be choosing a fragile bark To be taking me far from home?

A gossamer thing that will leave no mark When it melts like the soft sea-foam?

Nay, rather a galleon, tall and strong, With the wind in her mighty sail, And I shall set forth with a laughing song, And a thought of some sea-dog's tale.

But yet I shall think of the sea-foam's thrill, Or else naught shall intrigue my mind But gossamer shining upon the hill.

When my galleon's left behind.

SMARTER THAN THE LAW "Some dinner, huh, Killer?" said the small man, pushing aside his plate, which only a moment before had been heaped full of steaming food.

"Yeh, that chicken and cranberry sauce really hits the spot," re­ plied the large, coarse-looking individual sitting opposite him, who was known to his friends as Killer Johnson.

"Bring out the bottles, Butch, and let's get started on them."

"Okeh," answered Butch, taking a long drink and passing the bottle to his friend.

The large man also took a long drink, after which he sputtered and spoke, ''--! What vile stuff! Still, it has a kick, and a kick is what we're after tonight, eh, Butch?"

"Yes," agreed Butch, "a kick is what we're after. How about a toast for you, Killer? A toast to the law of the land?"

The large man laughed, a loud, boisterous laugh. · "That's rich, that is. The law! Say, the law is the biggest laugh I know of in this country of ours. Did you ever know any smart copper or any brilliant detectives? I never have seen one yet. Why, anybody with even two-bits worth of brains can outsmart the police.

Say, in my day I've gotten away with a few things."

"Yeh, me too," joined in Butch.

"Let's hear about some of your jobs, Butch; we have lots of time, and nothing said here tonight will ever be repeated.

"Well," began Butch, after taking another deep swig, "I've been in all the rackets, but the juciest was lifting 'rocks.' I would crash some high-class party on Millionaire Row, and after spotting some woman wearing a valuable bunch of pretties, I would find the master-switch, or if one wasn't handy, would cut the wires, and when the lights went out I would snatch the 'rocks' and put them in a nearby vase or anything handy. Then when the lights came on and they searched everyone and found nothing on me, I would calmly walk out with the rest of the guests. The next day I would come back as a telephone repairman, and afte� getting into the house I would grab the diamonds and scram. And that was all there was to it.

"This racket worked swell until my last job. After that affair I went back the next day as usual, but the mug who opened the door was a friend of the dame whose party I'd crashed. I saw right away that he recognized me as one of the guests of the night before, but he didn't let on that he recognized me, and he started a conversation. As I didn't care about taking any chances, I slugged him the first time he turned his back. Then, loading him into my car, I went into town 59

and rented another. After that I took a little ride in the country and ran the car and the stiff gent over a cliff. That was all there was to it.

Smooth, huh?''

"That was plenty smooth, all right," agreed Killer, "but that was nothing compared to a job I did for a pal of mine. This pal was a big shot in the numbers racket, and he had a federal dick on his trail.

The copper had found out a little too much about my friend and had to be gotten out of the way. I was snagged to do the job for two grand. It didn't take me long to get on the trail of the dick, and after finding out where he lived I got an apartment in a hotel next to his, with rooms right across¡ from him.

"After trailing him awhile, I found that he followed a regular plan at night-coming home at seven and taking a bath, then leaving again at eight. :so I decided on a plan to rub him out.

"The first thing I did was to get to know some respectable people in the hotel. This was a cinch, and it wasn't long before I was nightly playing bridge with a retired merchant, his son who was a doctor, and an old friend of theirs.

"Then, one night I invited this group to come up to my apartment to play, telling them to come about eight o'clock. I made sure that the dick was in his room taking his bath, and I ran down the back stairs of my hotel and up to his room. I used my skeleton key, and, stepping inside, I quickly hid myself behind some drapes and waited.

He came out of his bath as usual and at exactly seven forty-five he was dressed and ready to leave. But as he passed by me on the way to the door, I let him have it straight through the heart. Then I took the silencer off my gun and clasped the gun in his right hand. I searched him and found a little notebook in which he had written all the facts about my friend. Next I opened his bathroom window about six inches, and then I scrammed, letting the door lock itself behind me. I walked quickly back to my room, and when my friends came at eight I was playing a game of solitaire.

"We started our rubber right away, and in a few hands I was dummy, so I excused myself, and going into my bedroom I took from my bureau a firecracker that I had bought especially for the job.

Lighting the extra-long fuse, I tossed it into the open bathroom window, which was only about four feet away.

"When the cracker went off I was dealing the cards at the table.

The merchant thought it must have been a shot, so we went into the hotel and explained to the manager that we thought we heard a shot from a room across from ours. The manager soon found the right room, and after he opened the door with his pass key we went in. As the others all grouped around the stiff, I slipped into the bathroom and quickly stuffed all that was left of the firecracker into my pocket, and shut the window. When I came back, the doctor and 60

the others were positive it was a case of suicide,and I had three good witnesses to prove that at the time we heard the shot I was playing cards with them."

"Very neat,very neat," said Butch, "a perfect crime."

"That's what I thought,but it beat me."

"Well, Killer, I guess it won't be long now. Our party ends at daybreak, you know."

"D' ya think we' 11 feel it?" asked the Killer.

"Naw, not much," replied Butch, "just one shock and it's all over."

Burton Brehaut, '36 FLICKERING CANDLE

He, himself,was almost past middle age. His mother was sitting in a chair,gazing out of a window and making a soft clicking noise with her mouth.

"Arthur. see the cows out on the hill."

"No,Mother,they only look like cows."

"Arthur."

"Yes, Mother."

"I want to go home."

"You are home. Mother."

"No,this isn't home; I despise this place.I want to go home."

"But this is your home."

"No, I have to go home."

She had risen,trembling,and shuffled from the room towards the hall closet.This happened almost every day now. There was noth­ ing f9r it.

Her fingers eager with anticipation,she put on her hat and shawl.

The sound of the slow opening of the outer door ...

Shuffling footsteps on the porch. Her son rose and followed. She could not be allowed to go far ...

After a few minutes, their footsteps returning, slowly. They enter.She has been unable to find home-her §obs are barely audible.

Then his voice, a high falsetto"Did ze little muvver want to go home, hey? Vis iz her home.

Muvver wants to stay here with Arthur.Does ze little muvver love Arthur " ... gradually the sobbing is replaced by a thin semblance of a laugh.

The son reenters and resumes the book he had been reading. From the adjoining room can be heard,over and over, the refrain from an old hymn.

David McConnaughey, '36 61

"FOR ANN"

The year 1928 was drawing to a close. The scene was in New York City on one of the most fashionable streets, in a house of the period just passed, when houses were built to look much larger than they really were, by means of false fronts. The house around which this story revolves was too big for the people who lived in it despite the fact that it looked even larger than it was. The front door was massive, with a big, shiny knocker screwed securely on its front.

When one had entered, he came upon a hall of considerable length with a winding staircase on the left, going up to the regions of the house that were built for comfort, not at all like the stylish but un足 comfortable first floor. To one's right was a room hung with heavy red plush curtains and cluttered with numerous pieces of furniture that did not look as if they would hold the portly lady who was descending the steps.

Mrs. Willoughby, upon coming down stairs, sat in one of the impossible pieces of furniture, which miraculously held up under the strain.

She was thinking of all the new friends that she had made on her recent trip. She supposed that Mr. Willoughby had made some him足 self. She was startled out of her reverie by the insistent pounding of the knocker. James would answer, but who could it be at this time of night, just before supper?

There, James was letting the person in. It was a man; who could it be? James entered the room followed by a stranger, probably one of the new friends that Wilbur had made, and had invited out to supper and had forgotten to tell her about. She greeted him grandly, and said, "Of course you will stay to supper."

The stranger agreed. He was tall and spare and very dark-com足 plexioned, with iron 1sray hair. He was dressed in immaculate dinner clothes. They chatted for a while, but when they heard a puffing on the stairs Mrs. Willoughby was greatly relieved. Wilbur would take the man in hand. When he came in ( a little man with a big bald spot and a great many pounds that he shouldn't have had), Mr. Wil足 loughby jumped to the conclusion that the strange man who was talking so confidentially to his wife must be one of the friends that she had made while she was away. Dinner was announced, so that Mrs. Willoughby had no chance to ask her husband about the strange guest.

After dinner they chatted about the weather and everything that they could think of except the stranger. They did learn that he was leaving town at midnight, whither or how they had no idea.

At eleven-thirty the man called Mr. Willoughby aside, and in a very confidential tone asked, "And how is poor dear Ann?" 62

Now Mr. Willoughby was quite taken aback and gave the most plausible answer that he could think of, "Why, as well as could be expected," whereupon the man went out to get his coat. As he went through the door, he gave the butler an envelope. Then he climbed into a waiting taxi and drove away.

As soon as he had left, both Mr. and Mrs. Willoughby started talking at once, inquiring who the other's friend was, and, upon finding that neither one knew anything about him, they were astounded. But when the butler came in with an envelope marked, "For Ann," and investigation showed that there were five one­ hundred-dollar bills in it, they were overcome.

The next morning Mr. Willoughby went to all the newspapers in town and put in personals for the man who had dined with them the night before. They waited for weeks and weeks, but the man had disappeared completely, and they could not find any trace of him; so they gave the money to an orphanage. They are still wonder­ ing if "poor Ann" needs it very badly.

Evelyn Oliver, '38

PALACE I live in a house 'most a mile high I guess, 'Cuz when I look down, things look So small, Like playthings that have come alive.

Yesterday I took a walk down in the park, And people looked at me sorta wonder' n' like­ Guess they musta thought I was a queen or sumpin'.

But I'd rather stay at home, Where people don't watch me so.

I like to play in the street with the other kids, And there are such swell places to hide.

'Most every day the baker up-town Lets us kids watch him make the cake.

It sure looks good, But my mom says that's for the Rich People.

I feel kinda sorry for the Rich People, though.

'Cause I bet they don't live in a swell house like mine, Way up in the sky.

NIGHT SONGS

Speed bowls a thousand cars down the long highway. A glare of white -a great roar-and they are eaten by the ravenous night. And still another car rolls by me on its giddy way to feed the greedy ogre.

The murky night is drugged. It dreams of tawny moons and stars that are re­ :-flected in a stagnant pool like sequins.

It stirs and sighs but sleeps again, for the wind is a subtle opiate.

I came upon the mountain and the valley in a close embrace. It was dark and they did not see me. The grass was soft so my foot steps didn't sound.

I was alone and envied them, but I turned and stole away. They never knew I saw them there.

The eucalyptus trees are afraid.

They are cowards afraid of the dark. I always thought they were brave. They quiver in the night wind and make small sounds of fear that break the silence of the neighboring orange grove.

I am going now. The night is almost over. I shall pick the five morning stars with long stems. I think they will be lovely in the cerulean blue vase.

RANGE BUM Talkin' of bronc riders there's one that stands out in my memory like the crimp ears of the sorrel he rode.

I met him first in Montana while ridin' for the ole Double H. He was ridin' fer the Turkey Track. Most everyone knew of him and he was considered a shore 'nuff top hand. I only knowed of one man who knew of Mack's pedigree, and he rode over the Great Divide with the secret tied on behind.

After the fall round-up Mack and I just kinda drifted apart and I never seen 'im ag'in for along about two years. In my ramblings I'd drifted onto a boss outfit and thirty dollars a month down New Mexico way.

It was a large spread and the ole man raised the finest bosses then raised in the southwest. If I remember correctly, must have been along about Spring of '88.

Well, you can easy see, havin' such a pretty spread and bein' such a fussy ole codger, the ole boy was shore particular about his help and he had about six of the finest hossmen it's ever been my pleasure to run up ag'in.

One in particular, a fancy looking feller that was awful easy on the eye, shore put on a show when he forked a bad one. We called him "Pretty Boy" 'cause seein' him ride on that silver-mounted outfit was like lookin' in a jewelry store winder.

As I said before, the ole man had some mighty big fine bosses an' being raised on the range the way they was, most of them were plenty salty and would give even the best bronc-twister a powerful good fight.

In one bunch was a crimp-eared sorrel that had earned a reputation of never bein' rode, and that was in the days when a rep like that was mighty hard to live up to. I'd been there about a week when the ole man got bull-headed and decided to have Cririip Ear broke.

Naturally the job fell to Pretty Boy, bein' as how he was the best rider.

Pretty Boy made as fine a ride as he ever made that day, but the sorrel knowed a trick or two that Pretty didn't, and bein' just a little too much boss it wasn't long and we had what was left of Pretty propped up against a tree lookin' mighty peaked, with bits of his silver-mounted outfit scattered all over the corral.

In the excitement of the moment we hadn't noticed a stranger among us but when we did, I recognized Mack, the range bum.

He just looked at me kinda funny, then asks the ole man, could he try the sorrel? Turning to Pretty with a crooked smile, he says, "Take a lesson, sheep-herder," and he makes ready for the fight.

65

It wasn't long an' Mack was deep in the wood, and as I live to tell you, I never saw an exhibition that could hold a candle to that ride in fifty years on the range from Mexico to the Canadian line.

That sorrel knew every trick in the books and a few of his own ;ind he had what it takes to back them up. When the sorrel was <loin' his worst, Mack just reached up an' took the hackamore off and threw it to the sky and hollered fer the sorrel to come on an' buck.

Every once in a while we could hear Mack holler above the thun­ der of Crimp Ear's hoofs, "How do you like your lesson, Silver­ mounted?" or words to that effect, but he might as well have saved his breath 'cause time the sorrel raised his head and stood a' shakin' and a'sweatin', Pretty Boy had passed over the hill to the Big Pasture.

I've often wondered what was between them two fellers, but I'll never forget the ride that Mack made on that crimp-eared sorrel 'til I'm herding stars around in the Great Beyond with Pretty Boy.

Bill Teuscher,' 3 6 FIRST SNOW A never-ending stream of glistening flakes filtered through the trees and brushed past the frost-etched window panes. It was Vienna's first snow. Already the large, bronze, Napoleonic eagles of Schon­ brunn were dressed in white; the Gloriette had lost its delicate shape; and all through the city small clouds of smoke were rising, breaking, forming once again to forge ever up through the descending flakes..

I left my room, and putting on a heavy coat and muffler, walked out into the active buzz of evening traffic. Tires sang dully to the slush-darkened pavement, and rubber galoshes crunched in the small, wind-blown drifts along the grotto of the Opera House. The lamp­ lighter was making his evening rounds to lift the city from darkness to a luminous haze of gas lamps.

I stopped under the time-worn portals of the Kapuziner church to buy a cone of chestnuts. How good they smelled ... The charcoal fire blazed red in the descending dusk. I moved off munching the steam­ ing chestnuts, and, turning the corner by the Regina Hotel, entered Liberty Square.

The snow was coming down in large, crystal-like flakes. The air was still and crisp. From the little park in which I stood, I looked out upon a panorama of sparkling white and emerald. Small tufts of shrub, prickly spears of fir, and naked limbs of maple pierced the carpet of winter.

The age-mellowed voices of bells came to me, ringing out the day.

FLIGHT

I am a worshiper of the Sun, And of the Wind and the Stars.

They carry me with them, away To the land where I alone can go, Where I can dream at peace, And all my dreams come true.

And when earth calls me back, I am still a worshiper of the Sun, And of the Wind and the Stars.

Mary Alice Robinson, '37

PARADE

Here they come, two hundred and fifty of them, a crack company parading around the square. All big, fine, husky youths ready for anything. Tomorrow they are going to France; there they will need all the strength and training they have had. But look at them now­ all in perfect step, a beautiful sight. Oh! Isn't war grand?

Here they come again, back from the war, the same company­ all seven of them. Two of these are in wheel-chairs. All are old, hag­ gard and worn. They have just returned from France, where they have been killing, and have seen their comrades killed. Look at them plodding along! Isn't war grand?

Sayer Johns, '3 8

UNSUNG

This is my song. I made it. .: I wrote the words to the melody of the sky.

The words were inspired by the wind.

My song is fragrant.

• Because it was mine I shook lilacs into it On a m:)oned night.

It is exquisite, my song, But I cannot sing it, And another would not understand.

Oh, well-I shall give it back to the skies; Soon I suppose the stars will burn it for incense.

PRE-EXAM THOUGHTS I think that I shall never know What makes these curious teachers go.

Who knows what things each question hides?

I'd like a look at their insides.

I sometimes think I know them through, And tell you just what each will do.

But when I find the crisis met, All calculations are upset.

Then I. alas, am all at sea.

I wonder what they think of me.

Ah, one may sing one's own sweet praise, But only teachers hand out A's .
