EL ESPIRITU de 1941 Volï¿½me XXVIII June 1941 Published Annually by the Associated Students of Claremont High School, Claremont, California

TO WHOM THE WREATH IS GIVEN

In dedicating our Annual of 1941 we have chosen a man who, despite the short number of years he has been at ClareÂ mont High School, has proven himself b.y his understandÂ

ing of student life, both in curricular and extra-curricular activities.

In dramatics, particularly, has he shown great

skill and judgment. The staff of El Espiritu de 1941 is very

happy to be able to present its book to a man who will, in years to come, find his name deeply engaved on the heart

of our school... MR. HUGH WILBY.

TOW ARDS THIS, AIMS OUR BOOK

The year of 1941 has been one of sorrow and hardship for the whole world, especially those nations in Europe fighting to preserve the principles of Democracy. We, too, in our own school are striving to uphold the theories of our government through our daily work in class, on the field and in our social life. This year we have taken as our theme the ideals of the Greek race, believing that they in their way, as we in ours, strove to glorify their theories of Democracy. With this in mind, we present to you "El Espiritu de 1941", hoping that you will derive as great a pleasure in reading as we did in preparing its four divisions:

STUDENT BODY SPORTS AND STUDENT LIFE

TEMPUS FUGITS

Vacation was over.

I don't quite remember it as such, but I went back to school so it must have been. Was my face

red, the beach you know. I noticed with chagrin that everyone was tan but me. And so with the usual lack of enthusiasm and intelligence, I started another year and a session of the most difficult looking geometry.... . Much to our sur prise we had a football team. It �as a six-man team, and good at that. There were games with Sierra Military Acad emy, Bonita, Valencia, and Berkeley Hall in rapid succession. Then for a change of scenery, the Juniors gave a date bureau dance. It was a change-the library was strewn with rags from book shelf to book shelf. I guess there were a lot of people there, 'cause even I got to that affair. And the football team kept winning games all this time, but it seemed that no one would come out to see the boys play. And then the Sophomores gave their dance, and if I re member correctly, the highlight of the evening was punch and cookies to spare, and oh, how I like punch and cookies to spare. And then, following a few weeks of secret planning and whispering campaigns, the Juniors with the help of the Seniors sprung their beige class sweaters, and the class turned out en masse for the Oxy Rally that night in their new pride and joys. The Oxy Rally bonfire was fun, but the dance in the Student Union, mingling with college life, was more fun. Then came the girls' chance to shine-athletically of course. There was a play-day at Bonita, and we did pretty well for ourselves. By that time the first quarter was over, and I hadn't even got settled-scholastically. The light hadn't yet dawned in geometry.... Next came the football banquet sponsored by the Girls' League, and that was really an affair. It was held at the Oxford Inn and the food-M-m-m-m-m-m. The Inn was bedecked with bal loons and they started flying around when the formality wore off. After the food came sentiments from all the players. Then we-I was there too, goodie-adjourned to the Civic. Then next week came the Student Body play, and many young hopefuls showed their thespian talents. I guess we were really surprised at the display of talent that night. You know, before long, it was the Christmas vacation, and I took home my geometry book in case I found any time-I didn't. Instead I wrote out a Christmas list and mailed it special delivery to Santa Claus. I guess he didn't get it in time .... ··well, after we came back, it was time for the basketball season. It's funny, l can't remember the scores. Oh, but we did win a league game. Annual Week came along and everywhere all you could hear was high-pressure sales talking, and at the outcome it was discovered that the sales had rea·ched an all-time new high. Basketball went on as usual. The girls ventured to Puente to a speedball play-day, and the majority brought home ribbons to show for their time and effort. Then a pep-rally committee got a brain-storm, in the form of night rallies with bushels of talent and fun. Turn-outs for the games showed the effects of the pep rousing. Then the only formal dance of the year was given, with hearts and flowers as the theme. It was the annual dance, and it was really nice. The Seniors had a number of class parties that were the envy of everyone, but what made the entire school envious was the Senior Ditch

Day. The whole class forgot their lessons for one day and took out for Big Pines and the snow. That night the majority

went to the movies. Then Shelley Swan's orchestra's services were acquired for the very successful Girl's League dance,

held at the club house. Everyone-practically-was there. Me too. The interclass track meet was the next big event,

and the iuniors came out first in that, and thus the track sea;;on was started and a good season, too. Our dash man was

very surprising, and he got good write-ups in the papers. The French Club took the light for the next big shindig

the Mardi Gras.

A puppy was given away, and there were games and prizes of all sorts. The gathering was amazing.

Then the Juniors offered their contribution to the theatre. sented by Bonita and Downey also.

A joint program was held with one-act plays being pre

A field trip to the Federal Reserve Bank in Los

Angeles was a bi.g event for the

American Democracy classes, but then the whole school enjoyed the G.A.A. initiation. The girls were really a

scream. I laugh to think how they looked in baggy dresses, braids and painted faces. And then spring vacation was iust

in the nick of time. I was just on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

I couldn't get geometry through my head ....

even when the second semester started about the time of the Girls' League Dance it hadn't begun to seep through the

denseness.

The exams didn't help any.

Well,

there was a divisional track meet for the

Tri-County meet, and a couple of the fellas placed easily.

The Senior plays came next-they were good,

And the Seniors made everyone green-eyed again when they had their beach party, but then on Memorial

Day the Wolf Packet Staff took a day off, although there was a holiday, and went lo the beach too. The Seniors gave

the last dance of the year. The big success was a shipwreck party, staged in the girls' gym. The place was decorated

by the Seniors with vines of all sorts (an epidemic of poison oak followed).

And the last week of school. I guess for

the Seniors it was pretty sad, most of the others were pretty glad. I couldn't quite make up my mind. There were

so many finals and things.

I don't know what I got on my geometry-I was too afraid to look at the paper when

he handed it back to me. I'll just trust to luck-that's all that's left. In rapid succession there was the Senior some wept.

THE PRINCIPAL SPEAKS

No doubt every one of you often wonders what the future has in store

for you? That depends most of all upon you. If we reap what we have

sown, then every thought and every act is important in shaping that

future.

We know for a certainty that intelligent service and sincere loyalty are fundamental for democratic living and institutions. In this complex and disturbed age, I believe calm courage; physical, mental, and moral fitness; right attitudes; and habits of meeting our

responsibilities squarely are necessary assets to insure satisfactory sucÂ

cess to the individual as well as to the group.

May your experience return rich dividends on all your good acts! Congratulations to the Class of 1941 ! Best wishes for your happiness and success! Sincerely yours, EARL THOMPSON,

Principal

SUNSET AND DAWN

The next morning there was no difference in Steiger's appearance, e1.cept puhep1 that his head was held a little higher, but a shiny new revolver lay at the bottom of the river, Renate Suhbach

He was just a simple clerk-not a famous profeuor, surgeon, or even a former banker who had lost all his fortune,

but just a simple little shabby man,

who

bothered no one, and whose only recreation out of his meager earnings w41 a movie now and then. He w,u happy until "they" c,11me. "They" were the N,uis. He was not particularly patriotic; all little Mr, Steiger wanted was to be left in peace. The unkindly fetE-s, however, did not grant him his wish.

In March, 1938, the Nuis ovem1n Austria. Mr. Steiger went about his business u usual, and at seven o'clock, .n always, turned his way toward the cheap little cafe where he was accustomed to dine.

A SUMMER STORM The sky is blue, but small clouds mar the scene, They grow, and growing, what was so serene Becomes to sight a thing of deepest gloom.

At seven-thirty the door was forced open and a group of brown shirts entered. As their leader barked, "All Jews stand up!" the little man stood among the rest.

The flowers close as if 'twere somber night,

"Get out. We're cleaning up Vienna. What are you waiting for? Out with you, you filthy Jew."

And all the world is as a greaâ€˘t, dark, room.

A steel whip came whistling down on Steiger's bad. Somehow he gained the door and ran, and ran until his legs could move no longer. Then he stopped and reflected, The ne11:t day Steiger had joined the long line of people waiting at the American consulate, hoping against hope to obtain a visa. The most famous people of Vienna were there, but fear had left his m.ark on every face, Steiger had little hope of getting a visa. What could he offer? But perhaps something of the despair in the pale face of the man whose little world had so obviously crumbled around him, and who stood nervously holding his shabby hat in his hands, touched the consul, and the visa was granted. He had hoped great things, as the skyscrapers of New York came into view; he had hoped too much. Two weeks later he trudged the streets of New York, hungry, and cold. He had a little money left, very little. Then he made a decision, the greatest decision he had ever made. As he sat on the park bench he fingered the pistol, his last purchase. lt was a pity, but he mustn't weaken now. What was there to live for, anyway? He walked slowly. Taking a deep breath he looked about him; it was beautiful, this New York, with oll its glittering lights, Resolutely he walked on, Suddenly a figure stepped out of the shadows. "Hi, Buddy, if you is just as cold as I .is, come on. I gotta dime. I'll stand yer a cup of coffee." Steiger went,

A moment all is still, without a light. The clouds above swell out, and billows chase Each other 'cross the sky in one mad race. And in their swiftness they become more fierce, And roll into a solid roof of gray. The wind sweeps over all, then whirls away. The jagged lightning through the great clouds pierce, The thunder rolls, and shakes the earth immense. The roar increases, and skies become more dense. Then suddenly the clouds are torn apart; The rain comes pouring from the Heavens above, And earth accepts this gift of God's great love, And holds it sacred in its pulsing heart. Th"e rain is less insistent in its might, And slowly, slowly halts its earthward flight. The clouds depart; the flowers open wide; The sky is blue, and earth is satisfied. -Dora Louise Boileau

No one answered any cheery greeting I toned on my way to the office; if was odd, I thought at the time, and as I remember, I couldn't figure it out-not until I glanced at my desk pad, which modingly told me that "Today is November eleventh - Armistice Day-nineteen forty. Then I knew, I began working on some new army maneuvers when someone rapped on the office door. Without looking up, I called, "Come in." I sensed a change at once: a man in a queer uniform seemed to cut the ha1e with the sharpness of a knife. "Captain Wycliffe?" I nodded. "They said you was the one to see if I wanted to find somebody." "I expect I can help you out. Who is it you want to locate?"

His face during this narrative took on a sort of uncanny light, and the buttons on his old uniform shone like stars, yes, truly courageous stars, imbedded in the khaki brown of French soil. ", , . I duded for the shell wall, and when it hit, everything went black. When I came to, there was a crater, just about fifty feet away. George died in it, I fought in it, and millions of other boys, too, in that war to end all wan; in that war that would make us free for our ideals. And there won't be any more wars, and everybody's happy and nobody hates no one. George died in it, and now I'm dead, too, but I can't find him." He remained immovable. There was no hysteria, no mad laughter, "I'm afraid I can't help you out, Sorry.'' "But those lines and lines of other boys out there-boys like George and me, who died for their country. All the others came h.ere to heaven: I know George is out there, too. I know it.'' And still that gleam of hope, somewhat tarnished, to be sure, lingered in the old man's face, and the flaming buttons never dulled, flaming buttons of memory, that will never go out. "I'm sorry, old man.''

"My buddy."

As he pulled the door shut after him, the gray curtains of hue, once more, fell

"George Hanson, sir." "George Hanson?
