One often hears discussions on how
much better the world of today is. It is
probably one of the most erroneous
opinions when it is applied to recent
graduates from the institutions of educa-
tion.
I have, many a time, heard elder per-
sons say, "If I had the opportunity to
start out in the world as you now are
what a wonderful chance I would have to
gain success with all the advantages of-
fered." Then I think to myself. Just
what advantages can he be talking about?
At present, the world has less to offer
to a young person than it has in the past.
After you are through with school, it
is an impossibility to get a job for some
little time to come. Sometimes it is
months, sometimes the months roll into
a year. Even then there is nothing in
many cases.
It is strange that a student who grad-
uates at the head of her class cannot find
anything to do. Even after taking a post-
graduate course, keeping up the high
standards, she is unable to get something
that will give her some spending money
of her own. I imagine that at times she
gets rather disgusted and then wonders
why she worked so hard in her school
years when she could have had a much
better time if she hivd not worked so
dliu .- nli .
A coilcge education I is Inow become a
dream to the ordinary high school grad-
uate. Can a young person who has had
his eye on .I..i iI hle was sure to ob-
tain and then sudd5nliy see it snatched
away hav e much faith in what th.; world
has to offer? IHw does he know that all
the goals wiHl not b- moved farth 'r away
just as he is about to reach them? There
is nothing to hope for, for there is no
hope where there is no object.
Yet a college education is not every-
thing for the same condition prevails a-
mong the college graduates. With such
a view in mind it seems odd that anyone
should want to go to college. It would
mean a loss of money which determines so
much and time which seems to mean
nothing now-a-days insofar as so much of
it is wasted.
To say that the goal is too high is
somewhat erroneous. In the past, you
could buy more with a dollar; the cost of
living was not so high; and, there were
not as many obligations to be met. Peo-
pie are even willing to work for as much as
was paid in the old days but they cannot
find anyplace to work. To be willing to
work and yet not being able to work can
be condoned in regard to the would be
worker, but to have work to do and to
refuse to do it can never be pardoned.
When a person has nothing to do. he
worries about things that, ordinarily, he
would hardiv think of. but when the case
is just the opposite, one has no time to
think of trivial things and as a result is
much happier. I honestly believe that
the people who have never had anything
and who never will are the most content-
ed. They have no worries as they have
nothing to worry about and they have no
regrets as they have not done anything
which they cannot do anytime they
wish.
Things are bound to change but it
is very improper to s':.y that they are
chazuging for the better, for you don't
know.

C. H. S. FACULTY
Our faculty this year is one of the best
ever. Most of the teachers are old-timers,
and they're still keeping up good records.
The new teachers have made a good be-
ginning, also.
Mr. Franks, our popular and efficient
principal, inaugurated several new, pro-
gressive movements along with the new
school. Our Student Association was one.
He has ably superintended all activities
and classes, and taken part in the sports.
The Sophomore's sponsor, and teacher
of history, Mr. R. C. Hackett is keeping
up his reputation for giving homework.
He's a good teacher, though, and many
students reluctantly admit that he
"knows his stuff."
Under 'Irs. Phyllis Spencer and lMiss
Mary E. Mloore, the languages. Spanish,
French and Latin, are prospering. Be-
sides the regular routine, Mrs. Spencer
sponsors the Junior-Senior Dramatic
Club, the Effe Kube Klub, the National
Thespians, the Spanish Club, and the
Liga Panamericana. lMiss \Moore has
been sponsoring a much improved "Trade
Wind." also.
The witty mathematics professor, Mr.
Ever, is still with us. Taking care of
the NMath classes doesn't seem too much
work either. He's also the sponsor of
the Freshman class and the Caribbean.
Mr. Miller is new this year. but he has
certainly made a hit with both sexes.
The boys admire his athletic ability,
and the girls his great personal charm.
He helps Mr. Vinton teach science, and
Mr. lMeyer teach mathematics.
The Household Arts Department and
the Cafeteria prospered under the capable
hands of Aliss Ferne Bowman. She re-
placedl 31iss Anderson, who surprised
everyone by getting married last summer.
Let's hope Miss Bowman doesn't. We
need her here.
Mlr. K. W. Vinton is directing the
Science Department, which seems to be
doing very well, as there have been no
explosions as yet. He also directs athle-
tics and has done no mean part in arous-
ing a good school spirit.
The English Section has become more
interesting this year under Miss Liter
and Miss Brown. lMiss Liter is new, but
she's certainly made a "hit," in spite of
contracts. The first and second year
Engl;sh classes, and the Library are
cared for by ,Miss Brown, a quiet and
capable teacher.
Miss Patterson is turning out some
"snappy" stenographers this year. All
that aimless clicking heard upstairs at
the first of the year has developed into
rhythmic typing, thanks to lMiss Pat-
terson's patient instruction.
We owe the Art work in the Caribbean
to Mrs. MlcDnakl's talented pupils.
It's a surprise to discover we have s)
much talent in our school, but we can de-
pend on IMrs. MlcDon id to bring it out.
One of the popular courses offered is
music, under \liss Einer's gifted hands.
She has certainly done great things with
the fine material she's had to work with.
Last, but not to say the least, we reach
Mr. Fringer's Mlanual Arts classes. This
is as popular with the boys as Household
Arts is with the girls. Some promising
mechanics leave his machine-shop les-
sons.

CLASS HISTORY
By .Jeanne Lew,' "'>4
The sailors of the S. S. Class of '54,
having signed on from many States of
the Union as weli as the Canal Zone,
proved to be the most worthy crew that
had ever set out on the ocean of C. H. S.
from Port Freshman.
With Captains Spencer and Hackett
as weii as Frst Mlate Barnett at the helm,
this class exhibited pep and desire for
accomplDshment unrlxaicd by any pre-
\ious Freshman class. The unsullied
main sails of the ship during the entire
ovyage were Athletics. IDramatics and
Social Activities. Thi ship's colors were
scarlet and white; the flowers, red and
white rwoes; the mascot, a dachshund,
Freida: and last but not east, the crew's
motto, whi. h theyv ii\ed up to for the
entire toir years was "One for all and all
for one."
It was -F Freshman girl who won the
popularity contest. The "Freshman
Hop" ': .s the most successtui Idance of
the year.
"With this u nparaiieied sailing record
for a start, the S. S. Class of '54 arrived
at Port Sophomore. y any ch nges were
made in the crew, most noticeable of
which was the absence of Captain Hack-
ett, leaving only Captain Spencer and
the new first mate, Richard Reinhold, to
man the ship. The crew did splendid
world on this leg of the voyage, serving an
outstanding luncheon and making the
Soph Leap Year Dance a most unique
and enjoyable affair. This year each
sailor received a class pin.
Having arrived at Port Junior, the
crew of the S. S. Class of '34 did not set
out discouraged as do most crews on this
leg of the voyage for although they knew
this was the "stormy weather region,"
they also knew Captain Spencer and
First-M.ate Reinhold would steer them
safely through. During the first half of
the journey, they had assembled all neces-
sary equipment to weather the storm.
%lMore luncheons and a card party were
given providing funds so that when the
good ship arrived at Port Senior, the
sought for goal was won-each one had a
beautiful ring and the Junior-Senior Ban-
quet had been the best ever.
When First-Mlate Washabaugh steered
away from Port Senior the crew became
sad for they were on the last leg of the
voyage. They would soon be at the last
port, Commencement, saying good-bye
to each other and the dear old ocean,
C. H. S., forever! That beloved ocean
which had carried them for four years;
had helped them always, although they
had sometimes failed to do their best.
Small wonder they were sad in retro-
spect' Despite this, they put out a won-
derful annual, something from their
hearts, a legacy for the school they had
loved so well.

the reunion.
This was the notice which appeared in
the "World Telegram" steadily for sev-
eral weeks. I happened upon it one day
and received quite a shock. As I wqs in
New York at the time I went at once to
Fred's apartment to investigate.
It was nothing unusual at the time for
Fred Ebdon's name to be in the New
York papers for he had recently become
one of the most wealthy men in the city.
A year previous he had conducted an
expedition to Panama to do some ex-
tensive work among the ruins of Fort
San Lorenzo and Old Panama. There he
discovered gold which the pirate .M1. ,in.
was supposed to have hidden centuries
ago. Because of his discovery and his
newly acquired wealth, he had leaped
into prominence over night.
I saw Fred at his apartment and he
told me that he wanted the whole class
on a cruise in November if possible and
was using this means of gathering them
in New York.
"Can you come, do you suppose?"
"Can a hungry man eat, do you sup-
pose? You bet."
Then we proceeded to talk over old
times and recall every one we could re-
member. He had a copy of the "Carib-
bean" and what a laugh we had over
those pictures! When we were trying to
remember where some of the others were,
he said, "There are plenty of our class-
mates right here in New York. Let's try
to find a few. Did you know that Dick
Reinhold is editor-in-chief of the 'World
Telegram' now? Let's go see him first."
At the newspaper offices we were ad-
mitted almost immediately to the editor's
room where we saw Dick sitting behind
a formidable pile of books and papers.
He acted just the same as he did when
he was editor of the 1934 "Caribbean,"
even though he did have the reputation
of being the most hard-boiled of city
editors!
He and Fred had discussed the reunion
before and were expecting answers to the
advertisement soon. In the meantime he
suggested that we go see some of our
gang who were in New York. Helen
Leach and Gloria \lannix were both
working on the "New York Sun." Helen
was an advertisement writer and Gloria
edited the paper's "Column to the Love-
lorn."
Both were delighted to see us but could
not come on the cruise. They sent us to
see Ruth Egolf who was private secretary
to the president of an insurance firm, and
head of a whole army of stenographers.
It recalled our senior year when Ruth was
office girl for ,Mr. Franks.
Ruth told us that Frank Washabaugh
had just come to New York and had
started a firm of his own. He had suf-
fered so much from sunburn all his life
(especially on the Zone) that he had
finally invented a sunburn remover. Ruth
gave us his address and we hurried to the
Washabaugh Sunburn Remover Company
and caught Frank beforehe left for dinner.
By this time we had met so many of the
old-timers that we were all approaching
a state of hysteria. Frank took us to
dinner at a fashionable hotel where we
reminisced over every course. When we
left, Fred made an appointment for us
to meet him at his apartment later in the
evening. He said he wanted to take us
to a show and seemed very excited about
it for some unknown reason.
The reason became known when he
took us to the opening night of Earl
Carroll's "Vanities." Stella Boggs was
its star and the popular dance team of
Ruth Swan and Charles South were
featured.
Within four weeks of the time the
reunion notice first appeared in the
"World Telegram," answers had come
from as many of the classmates as could
be expected. Twenty replied that they
would be in New York at the appointed
time; many others sent their regrets; and
there were a few among the missing.
It was Fred's plan to get Warren
Slocum, now captain of the S. S. "Euro-
pa," to pilot the yacht on the cruise while
his vessel was in dry-dock for repairs.
Captain Slocum appeared in Dick's office
one morning looking very swanky in a
blue uniform and gold braid. In spite of
all the glitter he was the same fellow and
accepted the offer gladly.
November fifteenth was the day ap-
pointed for those going on the cruise to
meet at the Ambassador Hotel. All
morning long they appeared and what an
uproarious time we had!
The first to arrive was Professor Camp-
bell who absent-mindedly rode past our
floor three times in the elevator before
he remembered to get off! Colin was now
teaching in Cooperstown University and
looked even more scholarly than his
position required. The next arrival was
Doctor Charles Belden. He looked so
efficient and business-like that one would
never guess that he was going on a pleas-
ure trip. Charles was now head of the
Belden Medical Clinic in the slums of
Brooklyn. After him came Beverley
Marcuse, Norma Davis and John Man-
nix. Beverley owned and managed a
prosperous night club, and was assisted
by John and Norma in the business.
By noon time Fred's apartment sound-
ed like a true Bedlam. Every one talked
at once except one slim, blonde, woman
I saw in a corner behind the piano. Not
being able to picture any of my former
cohorts in a silent role, I strolled over to
investigate. Her back was turned, her
head lowered, and not a sound came from
her. I coughed--nothing happened. I
coughed again and again. I had visions
of a sore throat and stopped coughing to
tap her shoulder. She raised her head in
a startled fashion and looked at me. I
recognized her at once and said, "Hello,
Sister!" I got no farther however because
she didn't even speak to me! Here was
Elizabeth Hayes staring at me with cold
eyes and turning disdainfully away.
I fled from her chilly presence back to
the crowd and sought out Jane Hill to
tell me the reason for Elizabeth's strange
behaviour. She was only too willing to
relate the whole story. Poor Elizabeth
had been disappointed in love and was so
disillusioned and bitter toward everybody
that she had fled into the country. She
lived alone somewhere in the wilds of
Vermont and pondered on a new kind of
philosophy which she was following.
Jane said, "It took a great deal of
persuasion to get her to come here. I
guess she remembers her happy life at
C. H. S. and is attempting to recapture
some of it. It's a sad story don't you
think?" I heartily agreed with her.
Ex\crv.,nc was preparing now to leave
for the dock and go aboard the "Frieda."
(Fred had named his yacht "Frieda" be-
cause our class mascot when we high
school freshmen had been Mayno Bliss's
dachshund of that name). When we
arrived there Warren received us on the
yacht. We were scheduled to sail at
two o'clock. A few minutes before the
hour we were all gathered along the rail
when a tall figure in many furs came
flying down the dock. After her came a
taxi-driver, a news boy, and a U.S. Cus-
toms Inspector, all carrying suitcases and
hand bags.
It was Jeanne Lewis without a doubt.
Maybe she was a famous actress now
but she hadn't changed much. What
an entrance! No one but an actress could
catch a boat with a sour-faced taxi driver,
a rowdy news boy, and a hardened old
Customs Inspector carrying her bags!
There were more glad cries of welcome
then. Now that the "Frieda" was leaving
the dock under Captain Slocum's able
guidance the crowd began chattering
again, "And do you remember the time
--" This continued all afternoon as we
left New York. It was not until after
dinner that we all got together and talked
things over in any sort of order and sanity.
All twenty of us gathered on the deck and
Warren acted as master of ceremonies.
He suggested that we conduct our gather-
ing in an orderly fashion with one person
on the floor at a time. We all agreed to
that and somebody remarked, "Let's
make it nice and orderly like our class
meetings used to be. eh?" But we knew
better and voted for order!
Warren began the discussion. "I can
tell you of Bob Wertz because he is in my
line of work. Right now he is skipper of
the S. S. 'Americana' which belongs to a
steamship company in competition with
my own. I see him occasionally; we're
friendly enemies. He hasn't changed at
all and is the best liked skipper of all the
ships his company owns."
We all talked about that a while until
the captain called us to order. "N.'w it'
Mlary's turn to talk."
Mary Hearne wore the most fashion-
able clothes of all the women-and why
not? She was a fashion designer and had
her own shops in both New York and
Paris called "The Hearnd Shoppe." She
told about Eileen Donovan who modeled
and helped her design the styles. Ethel
Huntoon had her own department which
made fancy costumes and specialized in
"Mi Pollera" outfits! To such an extent
had Panamanian customs spread! In
"The Hearn6 Shoppe" there was also
another of the 1934 girls. Violet Randall
was head of the semi-made clothes de-
partment which did a flourishing busi-
ness.
Then I)r. Belden, Charles to us, told
us all the home news. Jos6 Bazan was
the fire chief in Colon and he still kept
up the tradition of having Spanish club
dances at the Bomba, but why shouldn't
he? Nlarguretie Siebier had taken Mrs.
Spencer's place teaching Spanish. Our
beloved sponsor was living in Spain at
the time and was quite an authoress. Her
"MAemoiors" had lust been published and
we were all anxious to get a copy. Two
other classmates had developed into
teachers. Blossom Laim was a second
lMiss Patterson and was just as able a
teacher. George Fernandez was a pro-
fessor in the Bioloogy Department at the
Junior College. His school-day fondness
for dissecting bugs had carried him ;r
in that iine of work.
"Now tell us about your work, Alice,"
we begged, as she was next in the circle.
She had invented a fat-removilng clreamn
called "Wood's Wonder Worker." What
an unusual location for Alice to choose
She told us about Edna Mlueller and
Dorothy Roos who had factories side by
side in jersey City. Edna oriainated the
"AIueller Alake-up Concern." and D)ot
was the proud inventor of a new type of
chewing gum that would snap with very
little effort on the part of the chewer'
Soon everybody began talking at once
about our old classmates, but I finally
managed to gather scraps of news about
most of them.
Edison Wirtz was explorwin in the wilds
of Ecuador and Peru, and had not been
in the United States for several years.
We all knew that Blanche Beiden was aI
movie star for we had seen hlir on tlhe
screen many times. Her friends said her
fame had not changed her personality, as
is so often the case. Likewise we all knew
of Billy Wheeler, for anytime one would
open a magazine Bill's face would appear.
adorning some collar advertisement. Sid-
ney \lWharton was an Army officer nowx
stationed in Hawaii.
We all noticed the change in Maynol
Bliss. She was now\x head matron in a
home for Aged and Decr-epit Punsters.
She pulled at our heartstrings when she
toid of the pitiful cases she had in her
care. I'm afraid she did not enjrlo tlhe
noise anid Ihul-bub of tile trip and often
I saw a ilogingl look in her eyes as if she
were wishing to be baclk in her home,
surrounded by her wards. She also told
us of the splendid work Virgina Hanna
was doing as a social worker among the
poor and needy.
Jane Hill was enthusiastic about her
career in architecture. She had actually
drawn plans for some of the buildings at
the latest Worid's Fair quite an under-
taking, and we were very proud of ]her.
She said Ernest Wood often helped her
out, although his photography shop kept
him busy most of the time.
Ruth Pickett, head librarian at the
Congressional Library in Washington,
told us of Anne Gibson's position as presi-
dent of the General Federation of W\om-
en's Clubs, and of Louise Whidden's
ability to give readings in negro dialect.
She toid us little tid-bits about the life
of Senator Hutchins (you remember Gor-
don, don't you)? He and Ruth were fast
friends and from what I heard their re-
aitionship was closer than that of friends
ler.'y Gorin was a Greyhound Bus
Line ofticiai and he certainly looked the
part. He had ir- his neighbors in Phila-
delphia, Grant Lemmon and David Levy.
Grant was the delight of chemistry stu-
dents, for he had invented some play-
thine lor every classroom s that the
students might have something to occupy
their mind during class sessions. David
had in his possession the "most marvel-
lous stamp collection in the workd" and
he spent his time improving it.
In one corner two gentlemen were
talking earnestly. On closer inspection,
they proved to be Billy Stone and Bob
Aloiten. Billy then expounded to us his
famous theory that it was perfectiv nat-
ural for a roiling stone to gather moss.
We wondered why Billy was such a re-
ciuse and Bob told us that it was because
his belief in women was shattered. He
had married Alarguerite Winn and ev-
idently all had not gone well. Marguerite
had thr'Ce or four husbands before she
finally married Frank and turned out to
be a model wife. We chatted with Bob
for awhile. He showed us the book he
was reading. I1 was "Rob Roy," and
ihe had finally reached page 467. He
said that he was very much interested in
English Literature now. As we remember
his enthusiasm in English twelve we
didn't doubt his statement.
The last night on board we had a big
time Bev Alarcuse had ,brought her
night club) performers "en masse. Her
right hand man, Johnny Alannix, who
was also the dance director, had been
practicing with the dancers all week in
order to present a super-fine performance.
Johnny sure had a way with the women!
He'd work those girls morning, noon and
night and make 'em like it' However, no
one meant anything to him !but No,'ma
Davis. She was their star performer-
and could that girl sing the blues.
That night was one of the happiest in
our life. Bev went from tale to tale
making everybody feel at horm, aitho it
didn't take much encouragement. Fred
beamed with satisfaction to think that
his plan should work so perfectly, and
everyone forgot his or her position, social
status, or career and pretended they were
kids back in good C. H. S. again.
After the party Fred told us why we
were going to Marseille on our cruise.
Miss Maxine Hoffman and Count Ray-
mond Bejarano were to be married at
Bordeaux, and Fred had received an
invitation for us all to attend. The
wedding would take place in the Hollo-
well Holy Temple, of which Reverend
William Irving Hollowel! was pastor;
Miss Victoria Hollowell, assistant; and
Miss Judy Bridget, Sunday School Su-
perintendent.
Fred also told of the former class mem-
bers who were in Europe at the time.
Henry Sanchez and Alejandro Wong were
doing the gypsy act playing their guitars
at various European towns.
No one ever knew why Better Stetler
happened to be any place at any particu-
lar time. She was a mystery woman. At
first she was suspected of being allied
with a band of Paris crooks; then she was
reputed to belong to a detective agency;
now it was not known why she happened
to be at Bordeaux- unless it was to take
part in the National Bridge Tournament
which was being played there!
Carlton Horine was on his way to a
Berlin Science laboratory. He had com-
pounded a famous "Horine Gas" (pro-
nounced Horeen, as in chlorine), which
was supposed to be very poisonous, and
was carrying samples to other chemists.
The gas was said to have strange effects
on people who breathed it.
The next morning the "Frieda" docked
at Marseille. We immediately left for
Bordeaux by train, and arrived the next
day. We were met by the prospective
bride and groom and all the others at
the station who conducted us to a hotel
where we rested until time for the wedding
at four o'clock.
We all drove out to the Hollowell Holy
Temple, founded by the Reverend Wil-
liam Hollowell. (Who would have sus-
pected the makeup of a minister in the
Billy H.,llowell of our school days)? We
were ushered into the Temple by Miss
Victoria and Miss Judy, both looking
very solemn and pious. For a few mo-
ments we chatted of the wedding. The
courtship had been a sudden one, we
were told, and no one knew much about
it.
I noticed Carlton talking to Jeanne
Lewis. He looked most dejected and
haggard, I thought, and Jeanne looked
disturbed. Soon the minister entered
looking almost funereal in black clothes,
and took his correct place.
The wedding march was struck up,
and the Count Bejarano entered attired
in the full dress uniform of his newly
acquired nobility. Down the aisle came
Maxine in the loveliest of all bridal
gowns. She looked determined and pale
rather than radiant with happiness as
brides should appear. As she approached,
I saw the expression on the waiting bride-
groom's face change until he was frown-
ing hard and flashes were coming from
his dark eyes. (How often we had seen
Ray's expressions change so quickly in
the days of '34).
As the bride came nearer she looked
defiant, and Ray seemed on the verge of
exploding- which he did:
"How long is that bridal train?" he
asked. His voice was low and menacing,
and each word sounded like a bomb shell.
"Twenty eight feet," came the answer
from the bride.
We were all astounded and gaped in
wonder at these unusual pre-nuptial re-
marks. However, the worst was vet to
come.
"Didn't I tell you it had to be thirty
feet?"
"Yes, but it's my own wedding gown
and you've had your way long enough,"
and the bride broke into tears.
Then Count Bejarano raged and tore
his hair, and finally shouted, "I'll marry
no woman who can't obey my wishes
even on our wedding day. I'm through
with women forever!"
He stalked out of the church. Reverend
Hollowell dropped both his book and his
jaw. The bride remained defiant and we,
spectators, stood in silence. Never had
such a spectacle been presented at. a
wedding'
Suddenly the dramatic voice of Jeanne
Lewis rang out in the stillness, "I have
the solution to this dilemma. Carlton
Horine has confessed to me that he loves
Maxine and she loves him, so why not
continue the ceremony?"
Both of the lovers looked gloriously
happy at this sudden turn of events and
Carlton hastened up the aisle to Maxine's
side. The pastor beamed as his hopes of
continuing the marriage returned, and
he began.
When the time came to exchange rings,
the groom fumbled helplessly through all
his pockets searching for a ring he did not
possess. As he drew a handkerchief from
one pocket something dropped to the
floor with a smash. Clouds of smoke and
penetrating fumes arose and filled the
room, and Carlton shouted, "It's my
poison gas!
Then I became dizzy and the room
began to whirl. Strange things began to
happen-I saw the bride, the groom, and
the minister lump up and down and skip
off! I saw Captain Slocum and the
philosopher, Elizabeth Hayes, flitting
between the pews, and John Nlannix and
Alejandro Wong playing leap frog' Then
some people rushed in and took us all
away from the church.
News Item:
Bordeaux, Nov. 26, 1946.-The Hol-
lowell Holy Temple was the scene of a
strange occurrence yesterday afternoon.
During the wedding service of Miss
Maxine Hoffman and the Count Ray-
mond Bejarano, passers-by heard loud
shouts and saw the Count dash wildly
from the church. Some minutes later
more strange sounds were heard com-
ing from the interior of the Temple.
A group of citizens entered to inves-
ticate the matter and beheld a most
extraordinary sight. All the wedding
guests were acting as though they were
drunk or insane. The bride, the groom,
and the minister were playing tag.
Other men and women were running
about shouting, and one party of them
were playing "hide-and-go-seek." All
seemed to be adults of approximately
thirty years of age.
The police were called and decided
to take the party to the hospital instead
of jail. All continued their strange
behaviour for three hours when the
hysteria showed signs of disappearing.
A gentleman named Horine recovered
first and explained that they were
suffering a temporary insanity result-
ing from having inhaled his "Horine
Gas" when he accidentally dropped a
bottle of it.
The entire party recovered con-
sciousness within a few hours and were
released from the hospital. They are
all Americans and came here on a
pleasure trip. They plan to leave
Bordeaux today and return to America
immediately.
(Editor's Note:-These fantastic pro-
phecies are results of the vivid imagina-
tions of three girl members of the class
of '54 and really ought not be held re-
sponsible).
SENIOR CLASS POEM
BD Gloria annix '54
The time has come when we, Seniors,
Must venture forth from school
And enter into the wide world,
Exchanging book for tool.
In nineteen-thirty we were Frosh.
A timid group, I fear.
And now, throughout these four short years
Our school has grown quite dear.
We thought they were quite wrong to shave
The hair clear off our boys
And treat us all real rough, as though
We were but little toys.
Yet when in nineteen-thirty one
The Sophomore class were we,
We pounced upon the little Frosh,
And tortured them with glee.
And then in nineteen-thirty two
We joined the Junior ranks
And viewed with condenscending smile,
The Sophomores' childish pranks.
In nineteen-thirty three we stepped
Into the Senior class.
And though we studied very hard
The time did quickly pass.
We've clubs and dances-parties, too,
And lots of other things.
And now upon some sixty hands
There glow the Senior rings.
We've had an added glory to
Our one remaining year.
We have a school that's grand and new
We're proud of it down here.
Mrs. Spencer's been our sponsor for
Our whole High School career.
She's helped us pass up every class,
And stood for us each year.
And now, we've finished high school years
We'll scatter far away.
We hope that we will meet again.
And, perchance, we may.

JUNIOR CLASS
Bli Ralph Da,,l,, 5
This vear the lunio Class of '35 has
been very active in sponsoring and partic-
ipating in school events.
The first class meeting was held on
October 11, 1953 in the school library,
for the purpose of electing class officers.
The meeting was conducted by our former
sponsor, lMiss Moore. Officers were
elected as follows:
President William Beers
Vice-President Robert Neelv
Secretary Ruth Wikingstad
Treasurer Kathleen Goodenough
The Junior Class had second choice for
electing a class advisor and they were
very fortunate in being able to have Mr.
millerr as their sponsor. He has proved to
be one of the most capable of the class
advisors. His handling of the Carnival
stage show has shown that.
On Wednesday, October thirteenth, a
special meetinL was called in order to
elect one boy and one girl from the class
as representatives to the Student Coun-
cil. Miriam Swan and Paul Beard were
chosen as representatives.
The third meeting held by the Junior
Class was to elect class helpers and ex-
tras. Discussions were held about choos-
ing the class ring and whether expenses
for the annual banquet could be met. As
those two problems have always been
the important items in the Juniors' sched-
ule, they required a great deal of ponder-
ing.
We decided to hold a candy sale on
December twentieth to help raise the
necessary funds for our banquet. The
sale was conducted by boys selected friom
the class.
On January seventeenth, we held our
second candy sale which was managed by
the girls. The proceeds were much greater
than those from the first sale.
The Junior play, "Happy Landings,"
was presented to the public in the school
auditorium on the fifteenth of December.
The play, sponsored by \Miss Kimbro, was
quite a success. The students as well as
the director are to be complimented on
the splendid performance. Approximate-
ly $75.00 was taken in as profit on the
matinee and evening performance. This
sumt was added to the class treasury.
The Junior dance was held in the school
gymnasium on February ninth. The
dance was made a success those mem-
bers who worked so diligently in decorat-
ing the gym in a most unique manner.
Both boys and girls contributed greatly
in making the dance unusual and attrac-
tive. The lights were dimmed and the
rafters were decorated with crepe paper.
In the corner where the orchestra played,
there was a large. yellow, crescent moon
hung with the word "JUNIORS" on it.
The pleasant atmosphere and the music
both combined to make the whole evening
a happy one.
Soccer season started with more turn-
outs from the Junior Class than from any
other class in the high school. The boys
who finally made the varsity team were
for the most part Juniors.
The girls from the class took a great
deal of interest in volleyball fighting hard
to maintain the high standards of their
class.
Baseball received renewed enthusiasm
from the boys in the class. A large turn-
out was expected from every class and
they were not disappointed in the turn-
outs from the Junior class. Although the
Juniors lost the class championship, they
showed school spirit in every game.
The Junior girls showed their possibili-
ties in basketball. They attacked this
sport with a keen and vigorous zeal.
The juniors took quite a part in the
tennis and track meets. The Junior ten-
nis champion was Jack Egoscue who will
represent us in the high school tourna-
ment. In the interclass track meet, the
Juniors came first with the highest num-
ber of points. The best boys in track
represented their respective classes and
it seems that the Juniors showed their
outstanding abilities in this sport.
During the coming year, the Junior
class will continue to act as a group and
intends to uphold the fine spirit shown in
school activities. As a class, the Juniors
have stood together in maintaining true
sportsmanship and this loyalty will see
them nwin still greater distinction next
year.

SOPHOMORE ACTIVITIES
On October 11. 1933, the present
Sophomore Class held its first meeting
in the library which was assigned to them
for the entire year. The purpose of this
meeting, as customary, was to elect class
officers and a sponsor for the present year.
Mr. Hackett, who had been our advisor
for the previous school year, acted as
chairman of the election.
Since Mr. Hackett had proved himself
to be such a capable advisor the first year,
the class re-elected him unanimously.
Following this election and after a close
contest the class officers were chosen as
follows:
President .... \\ENDEI.L COTTON
Vice-President.. .JAMES DAYs
Secretary . VIRGINIA SANDERS
Extra Officer.. EDWARD Dt'RHAM
Another meeting was held on October
thirty first after the Students' Associa-
tion was organized and its officers elected.
The purpose of this class meeting was to
elect two representatives to the Executive
Council. The representatives were elected
as follows: Ioris Ebdon, girl representa-
tive; and Howard Will, boy representa-
tive.
At the regular December meeting the
class made plans for the Sophomore
Dance. It was the annual class dance and
was formal. It was given in the high
school gymnasium the night of January
5, 1954. James Days and his committee
made elaborate plans for the evening
which were all carried out perfectly.
The gymnasium was righly decorated
with palm branches along the walls and
bamboo leaves enveloping the sky blue
lights. This gave the atmosphere a cool
and pleasing tone. The spacious gym-
nasium seemed to be an earthly Eden.
Excellent and melodious music was
furnished by "Barlow and his Jazz Aristo-
crats." This orchestra was a novelty
which added much pep to the dancing.
At intervals during the dance, some of
the Sophomores did their share by serving
punch to the thirsty guests.
One of the specialties was the prize
waltz. The couple who showed the most
grace and skill at waltzing proved to be
Elizabeth Hayes, a Senior, and John Will,
a Sophomore. As a prize each of them
received a package of one hundred pen-
nies!
There was no doubt at midnight as to
hosts. Everyone had a good time be-
cause of the excellent spirit of the dance.
The Sophomores sporting spirit seemed
to be quite low this year. Although the
class possesses many talented sportsmen
and sportswomen, our record has not
been very good.
In the Inter-class Soccer series the
Sophomores began by defeating the
Juniors. This good fortune did not last
for long however, because the Freshmen
proved to be invincible.
Again in the Inter-class Baseball series
the Sophomores won their first game
against the Seniors and were defeated
by the Freshmen.
In the tennis tournament which Mr.
Hackett managed, the Sophomores'
champion was William Hill. In the semi-
finals for the school championship he was
defeated by Pressley, the Freshman
champion.
The Sophomore girls upheld the honor
of their class in the basket ball tourna-
ment for girls. They defeated the Fresh-
man team and the Junior team to win
the series.
We hope that next year the class spirit
will be higher in athletics and that more
enthusiasm will be displayed.
The class of '36 as a whole has had
plenty of cooperation in all the class and
school activities. Its officers have proved
capable in managing the class functions.
If this class continues during the next
two years with the excellent record of its
last two, it will undoubtedly leave an
enviable reputation when it graduates in
1936.

FRESHMAN ACTIVITIES
The class of '37 held its first meeting in
the auditorium on October 11, 1933.
The auditorium has continued to be the
monthly meeting place of the Freshmen
for the entire year.
The first meeting was sponsored by
Mr. Franks for the purpose of electing
our class officers and sponsor. The
popular Mr. Meyer was elected sponsor
unanimously. We next elected officers
which are as follows:
President....... HENRY JARAMILLO
Vice-President .PHILIP RIEDEL
Secretary........ KATHLEENI PIILLIPS
Treasurer....... BETTY MCCLEARY
The next class meeting was a brief one
which lasted only two minutes. At it we
elected our class representatives for the
Executive Council. Macel Goulet was
elected the girl representative and James
Hogan the boy. When James Hogan
resigned later, James Christian was elect-
ed to fill his place.
The Freshmen have had two candy
sales in the school hall and both have
been quite successful. The first candy
sale, with Macel Goulet as chairman,
brought twelve dollars profit. Lillian
Chase had charge of the second at which
a profit of approximately fifteen dollars
was made. All class members were asked
to bring candy for the sales. Those who
did not do so were charged twenty-five
cents as their share toward the class fund.
In athletics this year the Freshmen
have ranked very high. The boys espec-
ially have shown excellent team-work and
cooperation in upholding the class of '37.
The Freshmen boys won the Interclass
Soccer Championshi; in the series which
was played at the end of the regular soc-
cer season with Balboa. In baseball the
Freshmen also came out on top by winning
the Inter-class Baseball Championship.
Among other things the Frosh defeated
the C. H. S. faculty in a baseball game.
The Freshmen girls cannot boast of
such success in athletics as the boys can.
In the Interclass Basketball Series for
girls they were unable to defeat the
Sophomore girls. A number of Freshmen
girls turned out for Varsity practice in
different sports and a few earned letters.
The most recent class activity was the
Freshman Hop which was given in the
gymnasium the night of April sixth from
eight to twelve o'clock. This class was
the first to have the "M., ,nilitj Ser-
enaders" and all their style for a school
dance. The dimly lighted gym was dec-
orated with balloons of many colors
hanging from the ceiling, and palm leaves
adorned the walls. The prize waltz was
won by Junior Will and Grace Belden.
All in all the class has reason to be proud
of its first entertainment for its school-
mates.
Other activities in which the Freshmen
participate are the Freshman Chorus and
the Effe Kube Klub. Many of the Frosh
members of the club have done outstand-
ing work in dramatics this year. We can
also biast of two high honor students,
Jacqueline Briscoe and Louise de la Ossa.
The class of '37 numbers approximately
ninety students, the largest entering class
the high school has ever had. If the class
continues doing the type of work it has
done during its first year, it will be a very
successful one as classes go.

BEST SHORT STORY
"AFRAID"
Byi .lrinam Swanl 'i55
Every time Doctor Levin mounted the
six broad stone steps to the entrance of
the Communist Hospital of M!oscow, a
thing which he did every morning except
Sunday, at nine o'clock- he went through
the same emotional crisis, a fear which
he always had with him, so deep in his
own soul that he could not shake it off.
At the top of the six steps stood a
guard, a young soldier in a long dirty-
looking military coat with a high astrak-
han cap. He wore a look of indifference
and boredom, and seldom answered Doc-
tor Levin's polite "Good morning. Com-
rade."
In his worst dreams Doctor Levin had
seen this gray looking guard barring the
entrance to the hospital, and not letting
him in, hurling him back into misery,
cramming his wife and himself into one
small room with hardly anything to eat.
Once past the guard, in the safety of
the wide hall of the hospital, Doctor
Levin felt himself of again, and his self-
confidence and energy were restored to
him. He loved the uniforms, the smell
of antiseptics, the cleanness, and the lives
of waiting patients huddled on the bench-
es. He was very alert and set about doing
his morning tasks: one operation sched-
uled for this morning and three for this
afternoon. So much depended on him,
and he felt that he was prepared for any-
thing asked of him. He was very highly
regarded in Mloscow as one of the best
surgeons.
Doctor Levin was back in his office
after the first operation when the head
nurse entered.
"Commissar Lubov just phoned. He
is bringing his mother over at once for
an emergency operation."
When he heard "Commissar Lubov,"
Doctor Levin turned pale. He had helped
him when he was down and out. had
given him the job he now held, and had
made him self-confident again. He knew
the case would be hard to fight because
the mother was old, but he would fight
with all his might and power.
Comrade Lubov, walking beside the
stretcher bearing his mother, was a young
man of medium height. At a first glance
a person could tell by his keen dark eyes
that he was a very energetic man, and he
had a reputation of getting what he want-
ed from his subordinates.
Lubov remained in the hall outside
after his mother had been wheeled into
the operating room. As he washed and
dried his hands. Doctor Levin could hear
his steps nervously going up to the end
of the hall and back again, pausing now
and then at the door of the operating
room. This unnecessary noise disturbed
the doctor's usual calmness and made
him nervous and anxious.
The patient had stopped breathing.
When all attempts to revive the still form
on the operating table had failed Doctor
Levin dismissed the nurses and his at-
tendants. The only thing left now to do
was to notify the son. Of course, he
would want a last look at his mother's
face before they took her away.
Doctor Levin pulled the sheet up to the
old woman's chin. It was horrible how
her dead face seemed to mock him, to
make it all the harder for him to tell the
commissar. Her blue lips kept saying,
"M-y son, Commissar Lubov, is out there
Hear him walking up and down? You.
afraid to tell him that I am dead-me,
his mother-you're afraid for yourself.
Go and face him. He despises fail-ure."
The steps of the son neared the door of
the operating room and the doctor's legs
gave a funny twitch. Then he opened the
door.
"Well, doctor?"
Doctor Levin kept his eyes on a button
of the Commissar's coat.
"Your mother is old. It is a difficult
case.
"Yes, yes, I know she is old. She is in
vour hands, Doctor." And the son re-
sumed his walk down the corridor.
Doctor Levin slid back into the op-
erating room. His weak limbs carried
him to the nearest seat. He put his hands
to his head and moaned; then he brought
them down again and looked at them.
Nev-'r to perform another operation was
to him a torture to think of, and yet was
it not true? He had always been afraid
of this and now that it had happened-
what was he to do? The only thing left
was to tell the Commissar--but how?
Could he face poverty again? He knew
that his wife could not.
The steps in the hall continued their
monotonous pace. Doctor Levin came
back to the present with a start. His eyes
lifted to the still figure on the table. He
glanced at his watch-eleven twenty
five. Trembling, he got up, opened the
door, and stepped outside. The son stood
facing the door, barely four feet away.
Doctor Levin hastily shut the door be-
hind him. How much could Lubov have
seen? The Commissar waited.
"I fear I have to tell you--"
The son still said nothing.
"--there are complications. She may
not pull through."
"This is your work, Doctor. Do your
best."
Doctor Levin went back into the op-
erating room. Could he stand it-that
pacing up and down, up and down? He
waited until the footsteps were approach-
ing again, then he stepped outside.
"Well, doctor?"
"I am sorry. Your mother has passed
away.
He looked the son straight in the face.
The son spoke.
"Dead? Well, it is a good thing. She
did not believe in Communism."
Doctor Levin reached mechanically for
his handkerchief, wiped it across his per-
spiring forehead, and returned the wet
ball to his pocket.
SECOND BEST SHORT STORY
THE TRIP OF THE LUNA
By Tom Russell '36
In 1929 during the month of October
some strange ethereal disturbance put a
stop to all radio reception for a period of
about fifty-three minutes. This caused
much talk and controversy among our
most eminent scientists and authorities
on radio. Dr. L. B. Martin stated that
there was a chance that it was caused by
some planet of the solar system trying to
communicate with the world. Another
man, an astronomer, claimed that it
could have been caused by two bodies
colliding in space. Also the theory was
advanced that possibly some nation of
the world, in preparing for war, had built
a machine to create static, and thus
drown out all communications of the
enemy.
Really there are only two people who
know the source of the disturbance. John
Dowdy, who has now passed into the
great beyond, and I. Although John was
not known to be a scientist, he possessed
one of the most brilliant minds in the
world. My statement will no doubt prove
itself in what is to follow.
John's home and workshop was located
about sixty miles from San Diego on the
peak of Cyuamaca M.1 .illtain This place
was ideally located for his project. It
was the third highest peak in this coun-
try, and was a good distance from any
large amount of civilization; a railroad
line passed within six miles of his estab-
lishment.
Now to explain the project of which I
spoke. In the early part of 1927, John
was struck with the idea of building a
rocket ship that would travel to the moon.
After much study and concentration
plans were involved for the "Luna," as
this was the title to be bestowed upon
the first intersteller space ship. But with
complete plans made there were still
other difficulties to be faced. First, the
job of constructing the "Luna," and
second, the astronomical data required
in order to make contact with the moon
and not to go travelling on into space.
This was where I came in. Being a teach-
er of astronomy in Ohio University, and
also a very close friend of John's, it was
I who was chosen to figure out the line
of flight that would be required to con-
tact the moon. Also I was to help in any
material construction when my knowl-
edge was sufficient.
After placing various orders with nu-
merous different firms, John and I left
for our rendezvous in the mountains.
Here was when the railroad line came
into play. All the metal parts for the
body, the tools required, the necessary
instruments, and all other needed sup-
plies could be deposited at a small station
by the train and from there be taken by
a light truck to our workshop.
For almost two years we stayed in the
mountains except for occasional short
trips to the city. Even though the "Lu-
na" was completed in September of 1929,
the trip could not start until October as
the moon was not at declination, which
was necessary to coincide with our line
of flight.
Early on the morning of October 18,
1929, John and I threw open the roof
doors of the shed that housed the "Luna"
and revealed its shiny metal hull to the
elements for the first time. John bid me
a fond farewell, stepped into the "Luna,"
locked himself in with the airtight doors,
seated himself at the controls and at ex-
actiy nine o'clock pressed an inoffensive
black button and sailed off into the great
beyond. The leaving was not spectacular,
but it was very impressive.
Immediately upon John's departure I
hurried to the house and seated myself at
the controls of the radio and patiently
waited for John's messages. I had not to
wait long before I was rewarded. The
message was in our own code so I could
only take it down and translate it later.
In exactly fifty-three minutes after the
first message all communication stopped.
Hurriedly I set about translating the
message and at the same time offered up
prayers that all was going well. So that
you can better understand what hap-
pened I will give you the message as I
received it.
"Everything is functioning per.
fectly so far. Was knocked off of my
feet at first but nothing resulted
from the jar. Am out of the atmos-
phere already and traveling at the
rate of about sixty miles per second
(216,000 miles per hour)."
A period of seven minutes elapsed here
between messages.
"Still going strong. Speed has
reached the expected velocity of one
hundred and seventy miles per sec-
ond (612,000 miles per hour). Air
conditioning plant functioning per-
fectly. Earth looks like an oversize
moon. Will report any new event."
A period of nine and one-half minutes
elapsed here between messages.
"F;rl.. last of my rockets three
minutes ago and am losing speed
surprisingly fast. Speed now less
than one hundred miles per second
(360,000 miles per hour). Earth and
moon are approximately same size
to the eve now. Discovered one tub:
of oxygen empty. (This would limit
the endurance of his supply to one
hour of breathing). Probably es-
caped during the night."
A period of thirty and one-half minutes
has elapsed here between messages.
"Am caught between gravitational
pull of earth and moon. My speed
slowed down so much that the "Lu-
na's" inertia will not carry me past
this zenith. 'lMy oxygen should be ex-
hausted in just about two minutes.
The "Luna" will drift in an orbit
around the earth forever. Please in-
form the public of my quest and car-
ry on for me. Be sure to carry enough
rockets to propel you all of the way
to the moon. Goodbye and good-
luck. John Dowdy."
Thus ended the message, thus ended a
noble man, and thus ends my story. In
the near future I hope to start construc-
tion on the "Luna II" and try my luck
at shooting the moon.
Very few people connected the disap-
pearance of John Dowdy with the pecu-
liar static heard on the morning of Octo-
ber 18, but the true explanation revels
that the connection was very great.
BEST ESSAY
SIX FOOT TWO IS RATHER HIGH
Bi/ T.m Ruxsell '36
I have attained the rather unusual
height of six feet two inches at a rather
early age and already I have noticed that
quite a few disadvantages and discom-
forts accompanying this distinguishing
feature.
Always, through thick and thin, and
from the age of two to ninety-two, more
and better things are expected of a big
person. When I lack the nerve to do a
certain thing (namely, to dive from the
highest platform on the diving tower) I
often hear this remark; "You're a big
fellow, let's see you do it." Then too,
you are distinguished as a big baby; not
just a baby but a big baby.
\\hen it comes to going to the movies
most of the kids my age get in free. But
do I? I'll tell the world, and anyone else
who wants to know, that I don't. I either
pay to get in or I don't get in. But, why
shouldn't I pay? I'm a big fellow.
If anything on a high shelf is wanted
or if mother desires to hang a picture on
a hook that is just out of her reach, why
then she looks for me, and I'm elected to
do the dirty work. This, too, happens
because I'm a big fellow and I can reach
it a little more easily then she can.
Every person is subject to some kidding
about his or her build. A short person is
known as a runt. A beautiful girl is
kidded about her Coca Cola bottle shape.
Anyone with lovely white teeth is known
as having that Pepsodent smile. Regard-
less of these facts I maintain that a tall
person is ridiculed more than others are.
A tall person is the sole target of certain
remarks that cannot be directed against
anyone else. No one would think of ask-
ing a short person the absurd question,
"How's the weather up there?" No one
would accuse me of having a "board-
ing house reach" just because I had white
teeth. Neither do I believe that anyone
but a tall person is subject to remarks
from the person sitting behind him in the
movies to the effect that some tall bird
has to sit in front of him every time he
goes to the show. Besides these cases I am
known as "Skinny" or "Stepladder" or
"Slim" or "Lankey" or any other name
convenient to the offenders vocabulary.
Besides the fact that when I eat I must
carry my food farther from the table to
my mouth I am at a loss to know where
to put my feet. If I put them under the
table somebody is certain to kick my
shins and if I put them on my chair I
receive a bawling out from my family.
What on earth am I to do with them?
I certainly can't put them in my pockets.
Also the steps on the stairs are too close
together for a fellow with long legs, but
I can't do anything about that either.
My mother is a short lady and usually
rolls the seat in the car forward when she
drives it. Then when father (who is tall
also) or I want to use the car we are
forced to roll the seat back again before
trying to drive. That is, we are forced to
roll it back if we don't desire a serious
case of driver's cramp. Then too, how,
in the name of kingdom come, could I
ever drive an Austin. That is something
to think about anyway.
Another place where long legs distract
from one's comfort is in bed. My feet
just insist on sticking out from under the
covers. In the winter they freeze and
on the Isthmus these Panamanian sand-
flies make a meal on them. True enough
I can tuck the covers in at the foot of the
bed but that cramps my feet.
In the case that I should want to be
inconspicuous in a crowd how could I do
it? At a circus someone once remarked
to me, that all he had to do was to look
above the crowd and when he saw my
head why he would know where I was
located.
There are other faults too numerous to
begin to mention. I can't dance comforta-
bly with short women. Their hair tickles
my nose and I am at a loss as to whether
to stoop over to their height or to carry
them. I am continually bumping my
head on objects that really should have
been built higher up. I can't wear my
father's pants because they are too short
for me. I almost break my back bending
over these drinking fountains around the
school. I have studied the matter quite
thoroughly and in view of the fact that I
shall be tall for the rest of my life I'm
going to stop thinking of the disadvan-
tages and start thinking of the advan-
tages of being tall. That is, at least until
someone invents a machine to shorten
people.
THE LUXURY OF BULLETIN BOARDS
By Colin Campbell '34
Last year, no it was the year before
last, a long, long time ago when C. H. S.
students first became enraptured in the
speculations of our new Cristobal High
School. Then it was that our principal
would stand before the assembly, and
thrill it by describing, enumerating, and
emphasizing each luxury of our paradise
to be. First, there was the huge gym-
nasium, then the grand auditorium, then
the spacious library, then the complete
laboratories, and then--then, to our utter
amazement, the luxury of bulletin boards.
We were, at that time, using one rough
board made of unsandpapered, wooden
planks which were painted green. Stren-
uous effort was needed to push a thumb
tack in that bulletin board. Naturally,
we could hardly understand it when we
heard of the elaborate affairs we would
soon to able to post notices on, because
it seemed so unnecessary.
The years passed. Finally our hopes
budded, we entered the new school. First
to be seen were the bulletin boards (at
least a sample of them, there were twelve
more). They looked unique. No more
struggling fights with a thumb tack. In
fact the first time I tried one, I pushed
too hard much to my regret. The frame
of the new bulletin boards was made of
the smoothest, shining wood with the
grain just bursting forth. In the center
of the boards was soft tan cork. Over the
cork was a clean glass cover with a lock
to go with it. A lock! A lock! I thought
I'd swear "a lock" the time I had to get
in one. You see, there are fourteen bul-
letin boards, fourteen different locks, and
fourteen .odd keys. The keys were not
numbered in anything less than a million
or so, and which to which had not yet
been recorded. I had to try each key to
see if it would fit (what patience it took,
it wasn't like the old green board). Why
the keys are different, I don't know ex-
cept that it's a good test for the temper.
and schools are near relatives of all kinds
of tests.
The second time I tried to put a notice
on a bulletin board, something had hap-
pened. An association had been organ-
ized. I never learned it's name but it's
something like "The Society for the Bet-
ter Mianagement of Bulletin Boards."
Then and there, I received doses of their
rules and by-laws. It was an organization
consisting of several persons who would
judge all notices for their neatness and
correctness before being posted on the
boards. Furthermore, they alone should
have the honor of opening the bulletin
boards (alas, the fourteen different keys).
After the surprising information, I hand-
ed over my notice wondering at all that
little scrap of paper would now have to go
through. This unusual society must be
like other societies I have known, it's
entirely too complex, for my notice, re-
written, was placed on the wrong bulletin
board after the notice was of no use.
Later during the year, however, the ef-
ficiency of the society was improved.
Fourteen bulletin boards show that
human civilization is becoming too com-
plex. It's too difficult to see every board
every day. I miss many of the notices.
I never used to with just one board. The
bulletin boards are still difficult to get
anything placed on quickly. I long for
the old bulletin board with no glass cover.
I am the odd person who would enjoy
seeing the fourteen polished, glass cov-
ered, corked back, locked new bulletin
boards exchanged for the old, hard, green
one with it's scared face.
A FRESHMAN'S HEAD
By CarlIon Horine '54
Having read Mr. Addison's account of
his dissection of a coquette's heart, it
occurred to me that I might make some
interesting discoveries with a Freshman's
head; so I proceeded at once to obtain
the head and the necessary tools for the
dissection.
This particular head for some reason
unknown to me, had no hair, or the hair
it had possessed had been shaved off. It
also smelled of onions and was painted a
very brilliant red.
Having skinned the head I attempted
to cut away the skull. Here I met with
an unexpected delay. I found the skull
was made of harder bone than my dis-
secting tools could penetrate, and there-
fore had to buy some better tools, not
ordinarily used in dissecting.
As soon as the first opening in the skull
was made it astonished me to hear a loud
hissing noise. I found it to be a rapid in-
take of air into the cavity. When the
skull was slashed open, I saw that the
brain was extremely small, probably un-
der-developed.
As I had been a student of anatomy,
I quickly discovered that the spinal cord
did not have nearly as many nerves as it
usually does. For those not learned in
the science of anatomy, I may say here
that the spinal cord is the part of the
nervous system which controls the in-
voluntary actions, such as taking one's
hand off a hot stove.
But by far the most surprising dis-
covery was a channel through the head
from ear to ear. After noticing this re-
markable feature, I obtained the heads
of pupils in grades lower than freshmen
and found that this channel gradually
increased with age until it became its
largest in a freshman's head. Also on
examining a sophomore's, junior's and
senior's head I found this channel grad-
ually decreased until it became entirely
closed in the senior's.
Like Mr. Addison, I put the freshman's
head in a furnace but the head, being of
very hard material, neither burned nor
disappeared.
POETRY
MAN!
Charle, E. Be/den '34
When the darkness ruled the land,
Then the earth was sea and sand,
Full of creatures, swimming things,
Scaly creatures, birds with wings.
When the darkness turned to light,
Slowly, surely changed the sight.
From the water, earth did appear
Growing, rising, year by year.
From these slimy, crawling, creatures,
Man appeared. Man whose features,
Changed, until they came to be
Those of the Twentieth Century.
Working, toiling, planting, seeking.
Man kept striving, never flinching.
Hardships, hunger, lack of rest,
Man kept rising, towards the best.
Man has toiled since the Ages,
Marking, writing History's pages.
Working man has made nations,
For the coming generations.
Man makes houses out of steel.
Man controls the air and field,
Flying creatures made by hand,
Metal creatures, made by man.
Man is Master, Man is King
Of all the earth, and living thing.
He has changed, has made the land
Fit to live in- fit for Manl

"Ma foi," the jolly Frenchman cried.
"You are petite, my girl!

Your hair, 'tis natural curl?"
"Si!" exclaims the Spanish girl
And turns her back on Jean.
"I theenk you are too mooch a fresh,

"Querido," whispers Rose then
As she turns back to Jaclk,
"My sailor boy, I mees you mooch,

APRIL
By Innie Laurie Turberville '35
Dogwood and violets neathh cool scented pines,
Find me laying in a hammock in tropical
climes-
Trade-winds gently swish the silky palm fronds,
Frangipani and orchids send fragrance from
ponds,
But for dogwood and violets and "Old Caroline,"
I'm yearning and sighing for your spring-
time-
For the chirp of the robin in the snowball boughs,
And the whistle of Ivey as he brings home
the cows,
For the gee and the haw of Joe when he ploughs.
I'm longing in longitude eighty and latitude nine,
For dogwood and violets and "Old Caroline."
TROPICS
By Gloria Alannix '34
The curling, twisting river flows
Beside a winding lane.
'Tis shadowed o'er by palm trees tall
And filled by falling rain.
And jungle trees of tropic lands
Frame its shaggy sides,
While a huge and hoary 'gator
'Neath the shadows, hides.
The shining sun is bright and warm
Upon the water's edge.
And droning beeh and flies alight
'Neath the dampish hedge.
And like the native sluggish blood,
The tepid rivers flow.
They're warm until the evening falls
And cool night breezes blow.
THE DANCE OF THE ELVES
By Gloria Alanix '34
Lightly and swiftly danced the Elves
Round mossy rocks and flowery dells.
On the lily's broad pad
They softly trod
To the tune of lightly dropping pods.
They laughed, a tinkling elfin laugh,
As they twirled in the moon-beams' silvery path
To the time of bluebells' music gay,
As in the breeze they gently sway.
The sky grew light with coming dawn,
The fairy night was long since gone;
The Elves gave one last glorious twirl,
And were gone in a lightning mystic swirl.
STUDENT COUNCIL
STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION
B ,/, nna Reill/ '"-5
One of the most recent and the most important innovations for C.H.S. this year was the organization of
the Students' Association. Never before has the school attempted such an organization and it proved to
be very successful. At the beginning of the school term, our principal, Mr. Franks, appointed Mr R. C.
Hackett as sponsor, and Mr. K. Vinton, Athletics Director, and Mrs. P. Spencer, Director of Extra-Cur-
ricular Activities, as the additional faculty members of the organization.
The purpose of the association is to put the school activities on a better financial basis by giving the
students seven things for the price of four.
Each student was required to pay three dollars and fifty cents, for which amount he received the fol-
lowing benefits:
1. Admission to all regularly scheduled athletic contests of Cristobal High School.
2. Admission to the four class dances.
5. Admission to the Senior play.
4. One copy of the "Carilbean."
5. One subscription to the "Trade Wind."
6. Membership in one high school club.
7. Class dues for one year.
ART CLUB
TRADE WIND STAFF
If these items were taken up individually instead of collectively, they would cost at least six dollars.
The first business in the organizing of the club was to elect the officers. The nominations were re-
stricted as follows: The president must be a senior, and the vice-president a junior. The results of the elec-
tion were: Frank Washabaugh. president: William Beers, vice-president; Mabelle Bliss, secretary; and
Anna Reilly, treasurer.
It was decided to form an Executive Council to carry on the minute affairs of the Association. The
Council was to consist of the three faculty members, the four officers of the Association, and a boy and girl
representative from each class. Therefore, the next necessity was to elect the class representatives. They
were: Freshman, Macel Goulet and James Christian; Sophomore, Doris Ebdon and Howard Will: Junior.
Miriam Swan and Paul Beard; and Senior, Betty Stetler and Warren Slocum.
At the first meeting of the Executive Council, many plans were made and many ideas settled. The
most important business was the naming of the Association. After much discussion the name, "Students'
Association," was chosen.
The first activity of the organization was a dance given on December 22, in the gym. All members of
the Students' Association were admitted free.
The financial affairs of the Association were not settled until the beginning of the second semester.
After much controversy among the members of the Council, the money collected for dues was apportioned.
Each person's dues of three and one half dollars was divided as follows: Caribbean _.$1.50, Trade Wind....
.60c., Class.. 65c., Athletics .40c., Executive Council ..35c. The Executive Council fund was to be for

JUNIOR-SENIOR DRAMATIC CLUB
all the clubs. As a result, the Caribbean received $321.00, Trade Wind, $95.20, Class of '34, $34-77, Class of
'35, $26.98. Class of '36, $31.53. Class of '37, $52.32. Athletics (Varsity Clubs), $96.80. and Executive
Council, $96.40.
Soon after the money had been apportioned and the financial side of the club was well under way,
Anna Reilly resigned her position as treasurer. The Council elected Miriam Swan to take her place.
In order to raise more money for the Caribbean and the Trade Wind, the Executive Council decided
to have a Student Carnival. A committee was appointed with Betty Stetler as chairman.
During the year there were 262 members of the Association; 80 Freshmen. 48 Soplhomores, 41 Juniors,
53 Seniors and 10 Teachers.
As a whole, the organization proved to be very successful, and it is hoped that it will be able to offer
even more advantages to the students in the years to come.
ART CLUB
Bv Helen Leach '34
The Art Club was organized in October. 1933. and is the only club of its kind ever organized in Cris-
tobal High School. It is sponsored by M~\rs. N\MacDonald, the art teacher.
FFFE KUBE KLUB
45
BOYS GLEE CLUB
This club was organized for the purpose of providing the time, place, materials and instructions for
those who have not taken Art as a subject, and to give the pupils a chance to choose their work. There are
no qualifications for membership except interest in Art.
The first project was the cutting of linoleum blocks for posters to be used for the different activities
of the school. After this, different ones chose to make bracelets and book-ends. Others made book-marks,
book-covers, and other things useful in school.
Even though this is a new club, it has proved highly successful and is very well liked by the members.
The club consists of twelve members and the following officers:

Last year the Caribbean Staff introduced into Cristobal High School, the "C. I. S." This periodical
was a bi-monthly publication, which used the Italian Steamship Line's mimeograph machine for the
printing.
This year we have purchased our own mimeograph machine and have changed the name to "Trade
Wind." For the first half of the school year we issued the paper weekly, but with the change of semesters.
we returned to bi-monthly publication.
Our work does not consist solely of publishing a school newspaper: we print a Spanish periodical, "El
Faro." for the Junior High School Spanish classes, dance programs, tickets and many other similar items.
And by this means (along with the advertisements and our allotment from the Student Association) we
hope to complete payment for the mimeograph machine within the next two years.
FRESHMAN CHORUS
0. G. A.
LA PAS
By, Erne.rt Jaramillo '55
La Pas is a Spanish club that has existed in Cristobal High School since 1930, when it was organized
by Mrs. Phyllis Spencer. Mrs- Spencer has been the able sponsor of the club to the present day.
The object of this club is to make greater the friendship between the Latin and North Americans. To
achieve this, the club has social meetings at which prominent men of Colon are guests. At these meetings
the members are asked to speak only in Spanish so that they may practice the language.
Membership in this club, unlike the other clubs in school, is based on scholarship. In order to become a
member of this club, a student must attain a grade of "90" or above, and must be a student of second year
Spanish. If he is a student of third or fourth year Spanish, he need attain that grade for only one period of
six weeks, while the student of second year Spanish has to acquire this grade for a period of twelve weeks.
Whenever a student has obtained the required grade for membership, he receives an invitation from the
club to become a member.
During the past year, La Pas has taken part in a number of functions. Henry Sanchez and Alejandro
Wong have always been willing to play their guitars for club entertainments and have been called upon
frequently. Early in January the club, through the kindness of Comandante Walker, gave a dance at the
"Bomba" in Colon for members and their guests.
NATIONAL THESPIANS
At the first meeting after the initiation of a new group of members into the club, the program is pro-
vided by the newcomers. An excellent entertainment was given by the group that entered in December.
Under the direction of Stella Boggs, a series of Carnival scenes supposedly taken in the interior of Panama
were shown. The actors were dressed in native costumes and all dialogue was in Spanish. They were first
seen going to the Fair, and then at the dance where all were dancing the Tamborito. As a specialty Stella
Boggs and Catalina Ecker danced a Rumba which was received with much applause. The entire program
was most original and cleverly arranged.
The night of this program was also Mrs. Spencer's birthday which wll be an occasion to remember.
As a compliment to Mrs. Spencer, I\ anhoe Seixas and the members of his orchestra came to the school and
played for the dancing on the program. After the entertainment, the entire club adjourned to the home
of Wendell Cotton for refreshments which his mother and Mrs. Spencer had thoughtfully provided.
As birthday tokens the new members presented Mrs. Spencer with a huge bouquet of flowers and a
lovely garnet pin from the whole club. This evening was the most enjoyable one within the memory of all
the members of La Pas.
The existence of the Spanish Club and its high standards give to the Spanish students an object toward
which they may bend their efforts, knowing that much good will come from it. La Pas has not only helped
to create a feeling of good will between the Spanish and English speaking people of the Zone, but it has been
a decided boost to Cristobal High School.
JUNIOR-SENIOR DRAMATIC CLUB
By Ruth Pickett '34
The purpose of the Junior-Senior Dramatic Club is to improve the dramatic ability of the members
of the Junior and Senior classes, and to sponsor the two principal plays of the year: the Junior Play and
the Senior Play.
The Junior Play this year was "Happy Landings" which was presented on December 15. It was the
story of a well-known aviator, Michael Pemberton, who was being followed by a vicious character intent
on killing him. A great deal of excitement occurred when Michael arrived at the Stockpooles for a per-
formance at the fair; when he falls in love with Barbara, the young girl; and when he trades places with his
friend, Percival Courtwright. The play was fast moving and humorous, the comedy being furnished by
Washington Jones and Juliet, two colored folks. Skofsky, the Russian radical, and Mademoiselle Fifi, the
French girl who caused so much trouble among the men involved. Those who took part in the play were:
Juliet, the colored maid, Louise Wfhidden; Her boyfriend, Frank Was.habaugh; Mrs. Stackpoole. Ruth
Pickett; Her husband. Billy Stone; Her daughter, .Iargaret Barnard, Miss Sabrina, Mary Ruth Riedel and
Miss Brisby, Olga Roe, Ladies of the Literary Society; Mlle. Fifi, Charlotte Randall; Percival Courtwright,
Carlton Horine; Michael Pemberton, Charles South; Spotty. his mechanic and co-pilot, Jerry Gorin; and
Skofsky, the Russian, Charles Belden.
The Business Staff was composed of the following:
Director, .fiss G. If. Kimbro; Business Manager, Beerley .Jfarcure; Assistant Business Manager. Betty
Seller; Stage Manager. Ediar Borden, Assistant Stage Manager. Colin Campbell; Lights Director, Anna
Reilly; Property Director, Elizabeth Hayes; Make-up Director, .lary Hearne; and Prompter, Kathleen
Goodenouqh.
There are about thirty-five members in the club and most of them have had some dramatic experience.
This year at one of the meetings a short one-act play called "A Dispatch Goes Home" was given for club
members. The players were Mary Hearne, Charles Heim. John O'Neill and Edgar Borden. The director
was Beverley Marcuse. At one of the student assemblies a short dialogue called "Yes and No" was put on.
The playerswere Judy Bridget, the girl, and Frank Washabaugh, the boy. Alice Wood directed the per-
formance.
As its share of the Visitation Day program on January 12, a short play entitled "At The Ferry" was
presented with Alice Wood and Frank Washabaugh as the parents, and Charles Washabaugh (a member
of the Effe Kube Klub) as the inquisitive son.
Again the Dramatic Club took part in a program. Among the entertainments for the Junior College
Party, March second, there was a pantomime, "Holding the Sack." with Charlotte Randall, Mary Ruth
Riedel, Billy Stone, Jerry Gorin and Carlton Horine in the lead. In both of the last programs mentioned
there were mob scenes in which all the club members took part. They deserve much credit for the success of
the performances.
The officers of the club are:
President, Mlary Hearne; Vice-President, Ruth Pickett; and Secretary, Betty Steller.
Our Sponsor was Miss Kimbro, but when she left in January the club was taken over by Mrs. Spencer.
As the last and most impressive program in the club's schedule came "The Thread of Destiny," the
Senior play, which was successfully presented on May 18.
This was a combination of humor, pathos and drama, delightfully enacted by the members of the
Senior Class. The story of the play concerned the effects of the Civil War on the Montgomery family, show-
ing both the northern and southern side of the question.
The characters were as follows:
Fanny, Louise Whidden; George Washington. Richard Reinhold; Betty Montgomery. tabelle Bliss;
Edith Sherman, Ruth Pickett; Mrs. Montgomery, Be'erley J.arcuse; Colonel Montgomery, IWarren Slocum;
Virginia Montgomery. Ruth Swan; Beverley Montgomery, Charles South; Sally Ann Fairfax. Alice W'ood;
Laura Lee Fairfax. Blanche Belden, Tom Randolph, Robert JMolten; Martha. Edna .Jueller; Susan, Norma
Davis; Jane, Violet Randall; John M. Morton, Carlton Horine; Marcella, Mlaxine Hoffman: Marion, Eliza-
beth Haye.; Madge Young, Anne Gibson; Mammy Dinah, Ruth Egolf; Peyton Bailey, Frank Washabaugh:
Uncle Billy, Colin Campbell; Louise Lawton, ,llary Hearne. Ralph Francis. Charles Belden; Union Scot,
Jerry Gorin; Miss Melissy, Eileen Dono,,an; and Assistant Director, Bett Steller.
Understudies:
Fanny, Ruth Wikingstad: Betty Montgomery, Kathleen Goodenough: Edith Sherman, ilary Ruth
Riedel; Mrs. Montgomery, .Mary .Ann Carruthers; Virginia Montgomery, A.nnie Laurie Turberville; Madge
Young, Charlotte Randall; Louise Lawton, Elinor iullane; and Miss Melissy, Olga Roe.
This was the first time in C. H. S. that there were any understudies in plays presented.
All in all, the Junior-Senior Dramatic Club had a most successful year and had the pleasure of being the
first to make use of the large stage in the auditorium with much satisfaction.
THE EFFE KUBE KLUB
By iMary Grijfin '36
When Mrs. Spencer came to Cristobal High School four years ago, she started the Effe Kube Klub.
It was extremely successful for two years, but last year there was no club. This year Mrs. Spencer reor-
ganized the club with an entirely new group of students from the Sophomore and Freshman classes.
Meetings are held every other Thursday in the auditorium with the president, James Days, presiding.
Other officers are: Betty McCleary, vice-president; Evelyn Dwyer, secretary; and Kathleen Phillips,
treasurer. The club has a membership of approximately fifty students.
The club made its debut before the public on the first program held in the auditorium this school year.
Several members presented pantomimes which were directed by the club sponsor, Mrs. Spencer. They were:
"At the Dentist" with Betty McClearv and Ruth Moody; "At the Photographer" with Lydia Gravatt,
Doris Ebdon, Vernon Clarke, Lois Heim, Betty Hauss. Charles Washabaugh and Anita Boggs; "Mr.
Goof's Day Off" with Mary Darley, Mary Griffin, Helen Carroll, Catalina Ecker, Muriel Mullane, Lois
Heim, Evelyn Dwyer, Edward Hoffman and Robert Reppa; and a short pantomime given by Olive Aan-
stoos. Several of these pantomimes were repeated for the parents on Visitors' Day.
At Christmas. the club presented a one act Christmas play called "Beggars Can't be Choosers." The
cast included Bobbie Durham, Kathleen Phillips, Ruth Moody, Olive Aanrtoos, Lilian Chase, Betty
McCleary, Jacqueline Briscoe, Agnes Reinke, Roderick Cuthbertson and Charles Washabaugh. Mrs.
Spencer directed the play and Mary Griffin was prompter.
One of Mrs. Spencer's plans for the year was to have members direct some of the one act plays. The
person chosen to direct the play had to be able to read each part in the play to Mrs. Spencer and if he
showed sufficient ability, our sponsor left him in charge of directing the play. The first play of this type
presented to the public this year was "Reverend Peter Brice. Bachelor." The members in the cast were
Doris Ebdon, Jeannette Hvler. Lydia Gravatt, Evelyn Dwyer, Lois Heim, Catalina Ecker and Louise de
la Ossa. The play was directed by Mary Griffin.
A one act play was presented to the audience which attended the Junior College Party, and was re-
peated for the benefit of the lower classmen on March 22, during the eighth period. The cast included
Lydia Gravatt, Edward Hoffman, Mary Darley, Vernon Clarke. Helen Carroll and Frank Alberga. Mrs.
Spencer directed the play and Maxine Blunden was prompter.
"Freezing a Mother-in-Law," a screamingly funny farce, was presented the evening of April 14. The
plot was very unusual with some decidedly embarrassing moments.
HIGH SCHOOL MUSIC DEPARTMENT
By Lillian Chase '37
Until this year, we have had only two musical organizations in our high school; but, for 1934, we had
the Freshman Chorus added to our Glee Club and Orchestra.
The Glee Club, which numbers seventeen members, gave two programs during the first half of the
year. With the aid of the orchestra they were both very successful. One was held at the Y. M. C. A. and
the other in our own grand auditorium for the Cristobal Woman's Club.
The Freshman Chorus was organized by the Freshman in October. Only members of the Freshman
Class can belong, and almost the entire class joined it. The chorus did not appear before the public with
any musical offerings, but held programs for the club's entertainment every other week which were enjoyed
by all the members.
We all agree, however, that if it had not been for the aid and patience of our sponsor, Miss Mildred
Elner, the activities of the Music Department would not have gone off as smoothly and as successfully as
they did.
ORDER OF GREGG ARTISTS
By Stella Bolg7q '34
The O. G. A. Club (Order of Gregg Artists) was organized by our commercial teacher, Miss Patterson,
for the advanced shorthand class. The purpose of it was to encourage more practice and to recognize our
acquirement of skill in the study of shorthand and typing.
At our first meeting, we decided to have only a president and vice-president. Stella Boggs was elected
president, and Norma Davis, vice-president. Meetings were held during the eighth period every Tuesday.
In these the story of shorthand was given, and we practiced for different tests.
The club subscribed to the "Gregg Writer," a monthly magazine for secretaries, stenographers and
typists. From these magazines we received practice in the writing and typing tests which we sent in, paying
a fee of a few cents.
Several of the students have been awarded certificates and pins of the Order of Gregg Artists.
NATIONAL THESPIANS
By Anne Gib,ron '34
To become a National Thespian is the goal towards which all the members of the Junior-Senior Drama-
tic Club are working.
The National Thespians were introduced into this school three years ago, and each year more interest
has been shown in it.
This year we have studied the rise of the Drama starting with the Italian Drama, continuing through
the French, Spanish and English Drama.
The National Thespians have sponsored the Junior and the Senior plays this year, both of which were
great successes.
There were two groups initiated into our club this year, adding many new members to our roll.
The officers for this year are: Anne Gibson, President; Frank Washabaugh, Vice-President; Ruth
Pickett, Secretary; Beverly Marcuse, Treasurer.
'PHOTO CLUB
PHOTO CLUB
BY 1'0la T7fk '1,
The Photo club was organized with .\r. Miller as sponsor, and consisted of thirteen members. Ralph
Davis was elected President; William fill, Treasurer: and Viola Tuck, Secretary. With the aid of an expert
photographer, the club members were intrIoduced into the use of a camera, and other technique of printing
and developing. The administration furnished a minimum quantity of equipment and the club was given
a dark room of its own. Some of the boys proceeded to construct, with the aid of Mr. Fringer, an automa-
tic printer, a washing tank, and other dark room necessities.
The club. after several months of experiments, solicited films and negatives from the students and
began actual work. Pictures of various student organizations. interclass class teams. and students were
taken and the prints sold to the students. Additional equipment has been bought from time to time until
the dark room has taken on a professional aspect. The next item under consideration will be the construc-
tion of an enlarging camera.
The club has been reduced in Inumbler in order that fewer and more interested members may conduct
the increasing amount of work.
This club is interesting. educational and vocational. It is also purely a student activity with only
occasional suggestions tir improleement ,b the sponsor.
I.\TH CLUB
DEBATE CLUB
THE MATHEMATICS CLUB
By William F. Slone '34
The Mathematics Club was organized this year under the sponsorship of Mr. Meyer for the purpose
of considering mathematical problems of common interest. Meetings were held on the first Monday of
every month. Once a month the Mathematics Club put some interesting problems in the Trade IWin'd,
with the answers .,I ', .. i.- in the next issue. The problems were of such a nature that they could be solved
by the majority ot the student body. The officers were: William F. Stone, President: Richard Reinhold,
Vice-President: Frank J. Washabaugh, Secretary-
THE DEBATE CLUB
By Edna Mlueller '34
The Debate Club sponsored by Mr. Hackett had, at the time of disbanding, twenty members. The
officers were; Frank Washabaugh President; Wm. Daugherty, Vice President; Edna Mueller, Secretary;
and Dorothy Roos, Treasurer. Besides these the members were: Theodore Aanstoos, Jack Dwver. Armando
Gasperi, Jerry Gorin, Gordon Hutchins, Allen Jacques, Olga Dominguez. Rachel Cuesta, John Palm, Robert
Peterson, Phil Reidell, Richard Reinhold. Sidney Wharton, Tom Russell and Colin Campbell.
The meetings were held every third and fourth Monday of the month. At these meetings a debate

SUPPER CLUB
was generally given in which the chairman, judges, and time-keeper were appointed from the club.
The Executive Committee generally meet the week before the meeting to plan for the meeting.
The only public appearance of the Debate Club was a debate given in the auditorium on the topic
"Resolved that Capital Punishment Should Be Abolished." Tom Russell was the chairman and intro-
duced the speakers. The affirmative speakers were: Frank 'Washabaugh, lerry Gorin. iohn Palm, and Phillip
Reidell as alternate. The negative speakers were: Gordon Hutchins. Allen Jacques. Richard Reinhold, and
Theodore Aanstoos, alternate.
The judges for the debate were: Mrs. C. A. Hearne, Reverend C. I.. Morgan, and Judge E. I. P.
Tatleman. Their decision was in favor of the affirmative who maintained that capital punishment should
lie abolished.
The Debate Club climaxed its career by having an all day picnic at Finlavson's Farm in Galun Lake,
Saturday, March 24th.
SCIENCE CLUB
Bu I rendell CoHlon '3
Among the many clubs which xere organized this school year was the Science Club, sponsored ,by Mr.
Vinton. Its membership was composed of students of the Sophomore, junior, and Senior classes, and Fresh-

men who had a "B" average in science. The purpose of the club was to carry on such experiments as might
help the students who were especially interested in science. A few experiments were performed and other
plans were formulated which could not be put into effect because of the revision in the eighth period sched-
ule.
The officers of the Science Club were: Wendell Cotton, President; William Hanna, Vice President;
Ernest Jaramillo, Secretary; and Phillip Riedel, Treasurer.
SUPPER CLUB
By 'Inta P ... '55
The Supper Club is an organization composed entirely of high school girls. Since the Girl Reserve
movement began in 1921, all Supper Clubs were under the direction of the Y. W. C. A. However, at the
end of June, 1933, the Y. W. C. A. clubs of the Isthmus were stopped because of lack of financial support.
Therefore the Supper Club this year has been entirely carried on.and supervised by the girls and their ad-
visors, Mrs. Spencer, Margaret Davis and Margaret Hayes.
A very active program has been carried out by all the members of the club. The first event was a very
delightful tea which was given for the mothers of Supper Club girls and alumnae of the Supper Club on
Thursday, November 9.
Before Thanksgiving, a fruit cake raffle was held which proved to be a huge financial success. Another
was held before Christmas, but was not as successful as the first.
On December 9. a Cookie Day was held. The girls canvassed the town with baskets of home-made
cookies and sold quite a number of the delicious cookies to the residents of Colon.
Immediately after the first basketball game of the inter-school series on April 13, the Publicity Com-
mittee of the club sponsored a dance in the gym. The big dance of the year. however, was not given until
May 11.
When the Students' Association held a carnival the Supper Club took part in it by managing one of
the many refreshment booths.
As in years before the girls planned to send a girl to the National Girl Reserve Conference at Kiski,
Pennsylvania. Some thought the hopes of the girls to be too high in this matter but they proved that the
Supper Club can do what it first sets out to do.
The officers for the year 1933-1934 were: Betty Stetler, President: Alice Wood, Vice-President; Anna
Reilly, Secretary, and Ruth Wilingstad, Treasurer.
VARSITY CLUB
Bi, Bill// If heeler -4
Since the abandonment of the Athletic Association, the Varsity Club has taken over the athletic
responsibilities of the school. It is composed of boys and girls who have taken prominent part in certain
of the sports and have fulfilled the necessary requirements.
The eligibility rules of the club were raised this year, making it harder for a boy or girl athlete to become
a member. In spite of this, the number of members in the Varsity Club have increased. This fact appar-
ently proves that more athletes are being developed each year in Cristobal High School and that the burden
of upholding athletics does not rest on the shoulders of just a few, as has been the case in past years.
This year the club ha s taken over the management of all athletic events at which a large number of
light school students attend. The Freshman-Sophomore Field Day, which was an organized initiation of
tile "scobies," wa. handled efficiently by the Varsity Club members.
To raise fulds for purchasing athletic equipment, the Varsity Club held a dance in the gymnasium
the night of March 23rd. "Solo Bassett and His Boys" furnished the dance music. The gym was appro-
priately decorated with sports supplies. On one of the baskets was a foot-ball dummy, over the other
baskets baseball bats were crossed, and hanging from the rafters were baseball and boxing gloves. The
atmosphere was extremely athletic and everyone enjoyed the dancing.
Mr. Vinton is the advisor of the Boys' Varsity and Miss Bailev. of the Girls' Varsity. The boy officers
are:
Bill Wheeler, President; Joe Bazan, Vice President; Max Sanders, Treasurer: Robert Neely, Secretary.
The officers of the Girls' Varsity Club are:
Elizabeth Hayes, President; Mabelle Bliss. Secretary; Betty Stetler, Social Chairman.
VISITATION DAY
B y Kalhkleen Goodenni/,ih 'Ti
The annual Visitation Day was held in the afternoon and evening of January 12. This year a change
was made from the full week program of last year to a single day of visitation in order that tliose who were
employed during the day could attend the evening session.
To facilitate passing in the corridors, location of rooms, and to avoid confusion, a committee was chosen
consisting of two students from each class. The responsibility of the publicity and organization of this day
was given to the heads of the TRADE WIND Staff. William Beers and Anna Reilly.
At 7:30 o'clock after the regular classes, an assembly program was held in the auditorium. The purpose
of this program was to explain and demonstrate the activities of various extra-curricular organizations in
the Junior and Senior High Schools. Its success was due largely to the High School Orchestra, the Effe
Kube Klub, Mr. Miller's Tumblers, the Spanish Club, and the Junior-Senior Dramatic Club.
An informal dance was held in the gym following the Assembly Program. It was sponsored by the
Caribbean Staff and was a grand success.
When a count was made of the number attending, it was found that 328 had signed the registration
slips. This exceeded last year's attendance by almost 100. The fact that registration ceased before the
eighth period, and that the building is so open would indicate that there were many more visitors who did
not sign.
On the whole, Visitation Day this year was a huge success, and we take this opportunity to thank the
parents for their cooperation.
SCHOOL NOTES
Alabeie B/Ir '54
Sept. 26. "School days, school days,
dear old"-oh, oh,
ancient ditty! But
-F" then again maybe
this year shall be
x overflowing with
T dear old golden rule
Sayss" Because we
have a "bee-voo-
tee-full" new High
School Bldg! 'n everything that goes with
it.
Sept. 27. Are we lucky? Yes! Due
to the fact that we have two new teachers
and they both appear to be very con-
genial. Miss Ferne Bowman is our new
Household Arts teacher and she will also
take charge of the cafeteria. Yum-yum-
my! Mr. Paul Miller is our new teacher
of Science and Algebra. Altho' he taught
in Balboa last year, he is a "new num-
ber" to us.
Sept. 28. Watta' day??? Each class
endured for only 15 minutes then school
was out. Now that's ideal methinks. But
the 15 minute-plan was used solely for
today to acquaint us students with our
new surroundings.
Sept. 29. Initiation? The Freshmen,
better-known as "scobies," combatted
the Sophomores at Kokonut Park this
P.M. Sueh fun: But,--the "scobles"
weren't so easy to defeat this year.
Guess that's a merry "ha-ha" on the
Sophs.
Sept. 30. lust to prove that there
were no ill feelings, the upper Classmen
favored the "scobies" with a dance which
was held at the new spacious gymnasium.
Altho the initiated combatants were
somewhat minus their usual vim, vigor
and vitality, they each and every one of
them appeared to have enjoyed a happy
evening.
Oct. 1. No more foolishness -sup-
posedlv! School is now in session! All
55
students have adorned themselves with
their best behaviors, attempting to make
a favorable impression-especially on the
new teachers.
Oct. 4. The assembly held today was
conducted by the students. Anna Reilly
told of a new plan to be organized into
the school, the Student Association, try-
ing to cut down the expenses of the social
activities of the school. Colin Campbell
gave a talk in regard to the school news-
paper, the duties of the staff, and the
new mimeograph machine.
Oct. 5. The two dramatic clubs held
their first meeting today. The Jr.-Sr.
Dramatic Club under the able instruction
of Miss Kimbro had some of the former
Thespians of last year and also a large
number of new dramatic club members.
The Effe Kube Klub has Mrs. Spencer
as its advisor. Over fifty little freshmen
and sophomores have joined the club.
Maybe these little scobies will show some
talent, who knows?
The Girls' Supper Club held its first
meeting today in the new cafeteria. Since
it was a new place of meeting, no doubt
curiosity caused the large attendance.
Oct. 9. Our first
newspaper for this
school year was
distributed today.
What a paper! You
should have read it!
Great productions
and startling news
is expected from
these two staffs in
the future judging
from their first ef-
fort.
Oct. 11. Today all classes held the
election of officers. A new leaf must have
been turned over or something has hap-
pened. Nearly all classes elected entirely
new officers-new building, new envi-
ronment, new ambitions-sounds exhiler-
ating!
Oct. 12. Note the memorable date!
Columbus Day! but it doesn't mean any-
thing to our school, not even a holiday.
Oct. 13. The Spanish club, "La Pas"
held another one of its formal meetings
on board a real Spanish ship. It was the
S. S. Mlagallanes and everyone seemed to
have a good time.
Oct. 19. Two pantomimes were given
in the auditorium today by the Effe Kube
Klub. The lower classmen are beginning
early and show much talent. The Jr.-Sr.
Dramatic Club better get busy if they
want to retain their laurels.
Oct. 20. A pep rally was held today
in the auditorium in preparation for the
soccer game tomorrow at Cristobal.
Charles Heim, Bobby Durham and Bert
Asencio, the cheer leaders, certainly
demonstrated a lot of pep.
Oct. 21. Kokonut Park was the scene
of the first soccer
^ game of the term
between C. H. S.
and the Junior Col-
lege. The Junior
College won 2-0,
but they had to put
up a big fight for it.
Oct. 24. A new club was formed to-
day, the Order of Gregg Artists, under
the sponsorship of Miss Patterson, in
order to try to teach the advanced short-
hand students more about shorthand and
typing.
Oct. 25. In the assembly today there
was much discussion, for Mr. Franks gave
a talk to all aspiring athletes. Many find
themselves ineligible since white slips
have been sent out. Mr. Miller gave a
talk on the spirit of athletic contests.
"Without spirit you can do nothing, but
with spirit you can do everything." Just
ask him, he'll tell you. Mr. Hackett
spoke of the election of officers for the
new Executive Council.
It would surprise you to see the
abundance of humor and wit displayed
by the faculty itself which caused the
students to smile as they left the audito-
rium.
Oct. 26. The men of the faculty de-
feated the high school girls in an exciting
volley ball game. The girls were probably
astounded by the powerful physiques and
ability displayed by our men of the
faculty.
Oct. 27. We have another day of
which to take note. Navy Day! Does
that mean anything in our school? Noth-
ing at all except that maybe it explains
why so many students are absent from
school. The sub base and air station at
Coco Solo offered free dives and hops to
as many as could be accomodated during
the day. Come early and avoid the rush
seemed to have been the motto to many
C.H.S. students.
Oct. 28. The girls volley ball team
as well as the boys soccer team ventured
to the Pacific side to conquer Balboa, but
neither team was able to do so.
The boys lost 4-0 and the Balboa girls
took all three games away from our
valiant athletes.
Oct. 30. Today the Spanish Club
held an important meeting concerning
the initiation of new members.
The Letter Club held a Halloween Par-
ty at the New Cristobal Clubhouse and
what a party it was1 Just ask somebody
who was there.
Oct. 31. What a day this turned out
to be --You'd think
S / / Franklin D. Roose-
/,. velt himself was
here to visit us, but
he wasn't. How-
Sever the formal in-
"2" auguration of offi-
cers and represent-
S atives of the Gen-
eral Student Body
would remind you of a session in Con-
gress. Judge Tatelman and Reverend
Cecil L. Morgan were the honored guests
at this meeting. Reverend Morgan gave
our newly elected president, Frank Wash-
abaugh, the oath of office. It's quite an
honor to be chosen first president in our
new school building.
Nov. 1. Several of the clubs enter-
tained jointly in the assembly today.
Two Spanish Club members, Henry
Sanchez and Alejandro Wong with their
guitars gave us several selections of
Hawaiian music-the sort that lulls one
to dream of sandy beaches and moon-
light nights.
The Effe Kube Klub offered five very
clever pantomimes. The Jr.-Sr. Dramatic
Club had better wake up and do things
if they don't want to be downed by the
lower classmen.
Nov. 2. Girls volley ball team had
another game against the men of the
faculty. This time they weren't beaten
so badly. They weren't quite so overcome
by those swell physiques this time.
Nov. 3. Another day for notation.
Panamanian Independence Day, and this
time we have a holiday. All day.
Nov. 4. Cristobal seems to be having
hard luck this year. The boys soccer
team played against Balboa at Kokonut
Park but were unable to come out con-
querors. The final score being 2-0 and
we had the goose egg.
The girls volley ball also had the same
luck, but their game was the best one
held this year for it was full of excitement
the score being tied several times during
the game.
Nov. 6. For more than two hours the
- - -
Executive Council
of the Student As-
sociation discussed
important topics at
the meeting today,
selecting the name
of the organization
and making plans
for the future.
Nov. 8. The Ex. Council held a gen-
eral meeting for the whole student body
today in the auditorium. The Constitu-
tion was read to the students to see if
they approved. Ask some of them about
it, they wouldn't even be able to tell what
happened for there were so many sleepy
heads.
Nov. 9. More class meetings today.
They're all planning great things to be
done, each class striving to out-do the
other, it would seem.
Supper Club had another delicious
meal served in the cafeteria. About forty
girls attended, maybe it's because Betty
Stetler is the president this year.
Nov. 10. The Caribbean Staff held
a formal dance in the gym. Every body
attended and had a keen time since
"Bilgray's" orchestra furnished the mu-
sic.
Nov. 11. Junior College defeats the
Cristobal boys soccer team again at
Balboa by one point. It's too bad we
couldn't have had that one point instead
of Balboa.
The same story goes for the girls volley
ball team. We are good losers though and
that's something.
Nov. 13. Soccer league games started
today with the Jrs. versus the Varsity
team. In spite of two extra quarters the
score remained tie.
Nov. 14. The Srs. didn't make a very
good showing today in the soccer league.
Out of the whole Sr. class only one boy
turned out to play against the Sophs so
naturally the Srs. lost by default. Our
faithful Sr. deserves a medal.
Nov. 15. Report cards were given out
today. Quite a few
0o" o',\\ students made the
.oh\ n honor roll and sad
S to relate several
/-77 others were made
30 ineligible for athle-
tics. The next six
weeks will probably
bring them back on
Sthe team again.
Let's hope so for several of our best
players were laid off, as 'twere.
Rev. C. L. Morgan was the speaker for
the assembly today and gave a talk on
the "Past Generation." His talk was aided
by several humorous remarks which were
greatly enjoyed by the students. The
more serious parts will, no doubt, be a
help to us all.
Nov. 16. The Ex. Council held a
meeting at Frank Washabaugh's house
in order to revise the Constitution. The
meeting was long but delicious refresh-
ments were served which made a happy
ending to reward our labor.
Nov. 17. New Spanish club members
were initiated tonight and an interesting
program and refreshments were served
too.
The Supper Club girls gave a tea today
in the cafeteria for their mothers. Betty
Stetler, president of the club, Mrs. Spen-
cer, advisor, and Mrs. C. A. Hearne, past
advisor, all spoke of different phases of
the clubs activities and aims.
Nov. 18. Girls volley ball team still
has the same story, they came in second,
but the boys have a different tale to tell
this time. Don't get excited, for we only
won by default since the Jr. College didn't
appear on the scene to play us.
Nov. 20. The freshmen team won the
championship for the Soccer league when
they defeated the faculty today.
Nov. 22. Ex. Council held a meeting
in the assembly today for the whole
student body and they also held another
meeting after school. These Ex. Council
meetings must be something of great
importance for they have them so fre-
quently.
Nov. 27. At the editorial staff meet-
ing of our school paper, "Trade Wind"
everyone seemed to have a long face.
The reason for that being that Mr.
Franks told them a thing or two about
last week's edition of the paper. His
remarks were not very favorable, but
doubtless his criticism of the paper was
for our benefit.
Nov. 29. The Seniors held a most
successful dance in
S ~ the gym. Every-
__ thing, from the
=1 snappy music to
the slippery borax
brought forth noth-
ing but praise-ar-
tistic decorations in
Sred and white, the
Senior class colors,
were used in profusion. Since it is
Thanksgiving tomorrow everyone will be
able to sleep late the morning after. Ain't
that sumpin' to be thankful for?
Nov. 30. Not a fatal tragedy, but
just a tragedy occurred today when
Charles Bath dislocated his knee in the
football game at Kokonut Park. The
game was supposed to have been played
by Juniors and Seniors, but proved to
have P. G.'s, Junior College students,
outsiders, and what-have-you on the
teams. The game was just an appetizer
for the Thanksgiving turkey to follow.
Nov. 31. Friday, a day of vacation.
and are the kids taking advantage of it.
Picnics and sunbrun, parties and sleepy
heads and everything that goes with it.
Dec. 4. After a three-and-a-half day
vacation we kids don't feel much like
attending school today, but most every-
one is here, the majority of us being red
as a beet or brown as an Indian.
Dec. 6. "Should Capital Punishment
Be Abolished" was the topic of the debate
presented today in the auditorium. It
was the first of its kind given and was
a very creditable performance.
The Ex. Council held another meeting
today and invited Mr. Franks as a guest.
What a meeting that was. You should
have heard it!
Dec. 7. The Jrs. were defeated by
those sophisticated Seniors in a game of
football to the tune of 18-0. The ground
was real muddy so maybe that is the
Jrs. excuse for not winning.
Dec. 8. Supper Club had a box lunch
instead of a regular supper at their meet-
ing this P. M. in the cafeteria.
Today was the last day to pay your
Student Association dues. Too bad for
those who have not already paid, for that
extra fifty cents might come in handy
sometime.
Dec. 9. Peddling cookies just before
Christmas proved to be quite successful
to the Supper Club for all their cookies
were sold long before the morning was
over.
Dec. 11. Caribbean staff meeting to-
day. They seem to be keeping all in-
formation to themselves, but from the
mysterious actions-compiling the 1934
annual seems to be very serious business.
Dec. 13. At the class meetings today,
the Juniors and Seniors met together in
order to discuss plans for the Banquet.
The Juniors are low on funds and unless
money comes in from some source the
Seniors will be out of luck for their antici-
pated banquet. We might have a "de-
pression" bread line at least!
Dec. 14. The Jr.-Sr. Dramatic club
held its dress rehearsal for the play "Hap-
py Landings" to be presented tomorrow
-from the laughs we heard thru the
windows, it must be good.
Dec. 15. "Happy Landings" mat-
inee and evening performance proved to
be most successful. The play had many
humorous spots and there was also much
fast moving action which made the play
more interesting-I told you so.
Dec. 20. All afternoon classes were
cut short and we had an assembly pro-
gram which began at 1:45. Our own
Thomas Rankin '33 now president of his
class at the Jr. College and Mr. Spalding,
principal of the Jr. College enlightened
us as to the important features of the
Jr. College. The rest of the assembly
period was turned in to a Xmas program.
"The International Christmas Program
Broadcast" was the main feature and
was very cleverly done with James Days
acting as radio announcer.
That nite the Spanish club, "La Pas"
held their formal initiation of 22 new
members. Eats and a good program with
Ducruet as their speaker made a most
pleasant evening.
Dec. 21. Another form of Xmas en-
tertainment was the play "Beggars Can't
Be Choosers" presented by the Effe Kube
Klub today in the auditorium. It was a
great opening for the Xmas season.
Dec. 22. Out Xmas dance was a great
event. It is more blessed to give than to
receive so this was a free dance for all
S. A. members. Entertainment was far-
nished by Stella Boggs and Cathleen
Ecker who did the native Spanish Po-
Ilera dance in costume.
Report cards given out today. Can
you imagine it, just before Xmas, of all
days. Hope it wont influence old Santa
Claus. School is closed until January 2,
1934. Hurrah!
Dec. 23. Another defeat for Cristobal
when the boy's handball team lost to the
Fleet Air Base. Practicing for both base-
ball and handball, the boys were unable
to keep up the good work in both so that's
probably why they dropped down in
handball intending to star in baseball-
(good intentions anyway).
Dec. 2-1. 'Twas the nite before Xmas
And all thru the
.- house
Not a creature was
stirring
Not even a mouse.
Is that true in
your case or did
you stay up to cele-
brate Xmas Eve?
Surely all of you
were good little boys and girls and
went to bed early waiting for Santa Claus
to come down the chimney to fill your
stocking.
Dec. 25. Christmas! Of all things, it
didn't rain! Did Santa Claus bring you
what you asked for? Me too-
Dec. 28. C.H.S. has two rivals of
Richard Haliburton
,- and Johnny Weise-
muller; Malcolm
Duey and Billy
Hollowell set out
to swim to Pedro
Miguel. They got
as far as Darien
today-saw two
alligators enroute-
going other way-coildnot stop-lucky,
eh what?-
Dec. 30. Our marathon swimmers
reached their destination at noon today.
The only visible rewards for their achieve-
ment are a lovely sunburn and cramped
muscles. What won't one endure for
fame!!
Dec. 31. New Year's Eve! Were you
amongst those celebrating the gala event?
Jan. 1. The beginning of a New Year!
How about those good resolutions! And
are you suffering the effects of the morn-
ing after the nite before?
Jan. 2. After a long ten days vaca-
tion, students return to settle down to
work once more.
Jan. 3. Mrs. Spencer uttered forth a
lecture in the auditorium on a new sub-
ject. They're fast becoming strict con-
cerning invitations to school dances. 'S
too bad.
Jan. 5. Sophomores held an elab-
orate dance in the gym. Congratulations
extended to you for your success.
Jan. 6. First baseball game at Bal-
boa, but we have a sad story to relate.
C. H. S. came in second 6-3. Better luck
next time.
Jan. 10. We are honored by having
Dr. Harold Wilson of C. Z. Junior Col-
lege speak to upper classmen. Are we
upper classmen luky?
Jan. 11. Seniors held an important
meeting. Preparations for Commence-
ment have already begun. Believe it or
not, we Seniors "Commence" in a very
few months.
Jan. 12. Visitation Day for many
I I
parents and guests.
Much entertain-
ment in their honor
also informal dance
in gym afterwards
-that entertain-
ment for the stu-
dents' pleasure.
Jan. 13. Note the date- 13th! Thus
C. H. S. lost the baseball game. Boo
Hoo!!
Jan. 14. Effe Kube Klub entertained
with a one-act play. Dr. Flowers of Jun-
ior College talked in the auditorium after-
wards. A very intellectual afternoon was
spent by all who were present.
Jan. 15. Supper Club entertained a
la Italy which means we had Italian
spaghetti no less. And oh! what a job
eating the long slippery strings,-but it
proved well worth the job 'cause it tasted
so yummy!
Jan. 20. C. H. S. whitewashed the
Junior College in baseball 15-1-Can you
imagine it? Hurray! for C. H. S.! Plus
a few extra "rah rah rahs!"
Mr. Hackett chaperoned a large party
to Fort Lorenzo. Oh! the sore feet and
sun-burned backs!
Spanish Club held a dance at Bomba
with many prominent officials attending.
You should have seen the effects the
punch (supposedly) had on several stu-
dents.
Jan. 24. Dr. Moody of the Junior
College spoke to upper classmen. Just
ask a Junior or Senior how they enjoyed
it, or what they learned? I dare you!
Jan. 25. National Thespians held ini-
tiation and a buffet supper in the audito-
rium. Many new members joined and
displayed a great deal of talent at initia-
tion. What this younger generation can't
do? Woe is me!
Jan. 26. C. H. S. was again honored,
by having Dr. L. Aker speak in audito-
rium. He must be quite an important
man 'cause all the periods were shortened
and that's a certain sign of importancey."
Jan. 27. What an unlucky day for
C. H. S. The boys lost to B. H. S. in
baseball and the girls came in second in
basketball. Tough, uh! but better luck
next time.
Jan. 29. Big Handball Tournament
today. Faculty and varsity played, but
faculty won. Good for the teachers, but
not so good for the students. Admission
was clih.arI. and cheering, refereeing,
and umpiring also by teachers!
Feb. 1. ul;-'. .c,.r exams today. Oh
what tests! Results will be heard later.
Until then we shall all shake in the knees
with fright.
Feb. 2. More tests. Too late for any
more cramming, ye
students of C.H.S.
INo CIHEAM nG
Feb. 3. C. H. S.
seems to be having
bad luck this year.
The girls lost a hard
fought game of bas-
Sketball to B. H. S.
__-_ by only one basket.
How tragic! The
boys also lost in baseball. Miss Fortune
(misfortune) surely must be fond of us.
Feb. 5. What mannequins we have
in C. H. S. The elementary H. H. A.
class displayed their hand-made dresses
in the auditorium today. And do they
fit. (Just like Mae West)!
Feb. 7. Dr. Akin gave a talk today on
T. B. Just to be sure no one has it or is
susceptible, tests are to be given later.
Feb. 8. Dr. Van Zant talked on
"Motoring Thru' Europe." It was in-
tensely interesting for he related many
different incidents of the difficulty in
getting schools started here and there
about Europe.
Feb. 9. Juniors held a very successful
dance. All credit
goes to the boys of
the class, for all
decorating, pro-
grams, and the
whole dance in gen-
eral was done by
them. Three hearty
cheers to the Junior
.. boys, Rah, Rah,
Rah!.
Feb. 10. The dance had an excellent
effect on the boys, for they beat B. H. S.
in baseball. But, confidentily the girls
"couldn't take it" for B. H. S. white-
washed them in basketball.
Feb. 13. The Elementary H. H. A.
class scores another triumph. They
entertained their parents and some teach-
ers with a delightful Valentine Tea. Oh!
these heart-shaped sandwiches and cook-
ies to suit one's heart's desire! Yum,
yummy!!!
Feb. 14. Another Junior College prof
speaks. This time, it's none other than
Prof. Carson. His speech proved to be
very interesting, in fact quite a discussion
followed.
Feb. 15. Spanish Club held a formal
initiation at school. Delicious "eats"
and several games and a lotta' fun were
enjoyed by all.
Feb. 21. C. H. S. was doubly honored
by the Pacific Side. Dr. Meadowcraft
delivered an exceedingly interesting talk.
The Stringed Quartette from Balboa fa-
vored us with a lovely musical program
which was greatly appreciated by all.
Feb. 24. Watta' day? In other words
what a day for the Inter-class track meet
at Fort Davis. Guess who won? None
other than the Seniors, Hurrahl Hurrah'
Hurrah! And may I add a few "hot-
chas?"
Feb. 27. This Biology class might be
well known soon. What do they do but
discover a very ancient fossil while on
one of their field trips. And what's more
Mr. Vinton intends to take the newly
discovered fossil to Columbia University.
Mar. 2. Now it's C. H. S.'s turn to
score another triumph. We staged a very
successful program and party for the
benefit of parents and guests to meet the
Junior College faculty-even if we do
admit it ourselves.
Mar. 5. Today is the 1st day of
registration for those students who are
compelled to listen to lectures on dif-
ferent subjects and courses. Aren't we
Seniors lucky to get out of it all?
Mar. 6. Mr. \lever, lMiss Moore and
ir. Vinton each gave a lecture on their
respective subjects for those registering
for next year. They were very worth-
while lectures too.
Mar. 7. What a dramatist we have in
our Rev. C. I. Morgan! Portraying the
first act of 2Macbeth is no easy job, but
he did it to perfection-the three winds
(ghosts) especially. He recited humorous
readings afterwards and were they amus-
ing? You should have been there!
Mar. 9. What a school! Now we only
have four activities and a student
can only belong to one, according to what
iMr. Franks announced today. Sour
grapes. I only want to belong to one
anyway.
Alar. 15. Effe Kube Kliub, offers en-
tertainment-"Sauce for the Goslings."
A very appropriate play with a good
moral. Let's hope a majority of the stu-
dents secure the benefit of it.
MNar. 16. Dr. Weiiman lectured with
moving picture illustrations 'n every-
thing on child psychology. Only girls at-
tended, except for the camera man.
Mar. 17. Hurray: Whoopee: etc.
C. H. S. defeated B. H. S. in track meet
47-35. What a man Beard'!! Breaking
two records and tying a third. Ask the
track members how they enjoyed the
party afterwards?
Mar. 23. Varsity Club held a very
unique dance, decorating the gym with
baseball bats, basketballs, baseball catch-
ers, boxing gloves, etc. Anybody who
happened to feel in the mood for a fight
had plenty of ammunition for inspira-
tions.
AMar. 24. Debate
Club starts their
Easter Vacation by
having picnic at
Finlayson's Farm.
What a wonder
some kinds aren't
more bow-legged
than they are?
"Horses, Horses!
Crazy over Horses,
Horses!"
Mar. 27. Just another day of Easter
Vacation. Hardly anybody's in town
now, students, teachers, even janitors
are out vacationing. You guess where.
April 2. Again the H. H. A. class
scores another triumph. A visit to the
Cold Storage plant, eating samples of
ice cream, cookies, etc. and then enjoying
a delicious luncheon at Miss Bowman's,
(their teacher's) house. These H. H. A.
classes. What they wont do.
Apr. 6. What a shame a certain some-
body was caught smoking at one of the
former dances so that he was prohibited
to come to the Frosh dance tonight.
Alaybe he'll learn not to disobey rules.
Apr. 7. DeMolays gave a big dance
and card party at the Masonic Temple
this P. M. Many students attended and
tripped the light fantastic to their hearts
content.
Apr. 12. Again we take note of H. H.
A. class. An art display, illustrated, show-
ing how decoratively one can dress the
dinner table, for elaborate or for simple
dinners, luncheons and teas. Mrs. Mac-
Donald's illustrated lecture proved very
interesting and very instructive to all.
Apr. 13. C. H. S. defeats B. H. S. in
basketball game tonight. Are we good or
are we good? Just ask us.
Supper Club held an informal dance
in the gym afterwards. Both the B. H. S.
and the C. H. S. basketball teams were
allowed in free of charge. Now, are we
Supper Club girls Scotch? No!
Apr. 14. C. H. S. came in second in
tennis meet. Too much nite life I sup-
pose. Oh well we can't win everything-
Basketball and tennis, so we pick on
basketball.
Free entertainment in gym tonight for
all patrons and friends of the school. A
pageant, play and pantomime was the
program which proved to be intensely
amusing.
Apr. 15. It seems that a certain quar-
tette broke a rule and are now suspended
from anymore basketball games. These
people that will break rules.
April 17. Play practice has begun to
start to commence in earnest. The First
Act of "Thread of Destiny" is being re-
hearsed this week. These people and
their southern (supposedly) drawl.
Apr. 18. A pep rally at noon today,
but not even that would make our coach
take back his resignation. Let's hope
some one can make him change his mind
again.
Apr. 21. Ah!
The Carnival! What
a night. Having it
in the school was
something different
from the past, but
was it keen?. Just
ask me.
Apr. 27. Another
basketball game.
We'll win this
series yet.
Apr. 30. The last day of April and
what a day it is! First it rains and then
it pours. But this afternoon is grand.
Sunshine here and sunshine there. A
perfect day for hooky.
May 4. Today marks the end of the
fifth six weeks. Just think Seniors only
one more six weeks period and we're out.
Oh! boy just to think of it.
How do you think the Sophs tell the
end of the six weeks. No other way than
by giving a very original barn dance in
the gym. What a dance! All the hay,
and those chickens! Weren't those farm-
ers and farmerettes cute, though?
May 7. A Blue Monday! Honest
Injun, today actually is a Blue Monday;
in fact a black and blue Monday. By
that I mean- the sky and the clouds and
the hearts all appear so dismal.
May 9. What a shame-?? and ??
must have had a fight or a quarrel last
night. Just look at them stare daggers at
each other. Come on now, "Kiss and
make up."
May 11. Another basketball game.
Hurray!-What a game. I couldn't see
half of the game on account of those
marvelous "Johnny Weisemuller" and
"Atlas" physiques. They just dazzle you
You can't watch the game and physiques
too, so I picked ? What do you think?
Of course, the physiques.
May 14.
ing today.
praying for
Caribbean.
Caribbean Staff held a meet-
Thinking and hoping and
the bestest results for the
May 16. Well it took a whole week
but ?? and ?? finally did "kiss and make
up." Did you notice the smiles today in
place of those dagger stares of last week?
May 18. Ah! "Thread of Destiny"
at last after weeks
of practice. Boy.
was it ever a hit!
These southern
belles aren't so bad
after all, are they?
SA May 21. Don't
you just hate these
Monday. Just
think another four
more days before we can take a vacation
for two days again. Friday are some-
thing to look forward to anyway.
May 25. Well, Friday has at last
arrived. Aren't you glad? No more
school now till Monday. Two whole days
of leisure. Ah! just to think of it.
May 30. In the middle of the week
and we have a holiday. There's no epede-
mic dr anything, but it's Memorial Day.
Thus we have a holiday.
June 1. The 1st of June and what a
day. A perfect day
with a perfect end-
ing. The Junior-
Senior Banquet was
This evening with a
S I big dance at the
SHotel Washington
Sand everything.
Even though these
Juniors did keep us
Seniors in suspense, they certainly did
everything in fine style. Thank you, even
for the mysteries.
June 5. Now's the time to begin
cramming in earnest. Just a couple of
more days and you'll be out of luck.
June 7. Tests today and oh-am I
glad I'm a Senior and I don't have those
to worry me anymore. It's swell to be a
Senior. Just wait till you're one. You'll
agree with me.
June 10. Baccalaureate Services to-
day at Christ
Church by the Sea.
Didn't the Seniors
look nice in their
Pastel shaded dress-
Ses and the boys in
their flannel pants
r and blue coats. You
g didn't realize the
Seniors had so
many good-looking kids, did you? How
ever, it's not always that clothes make
the man."
June 11. Ah1 The Caribbeans came
out today. Aren't they keen? I'll guaran-
tee they're much better than you ex-
pected, huh?
June 13. Just think Seniors, only two
more days and then no more. Isn't it a
funny feeling?
June 14. Practicing marching up to
the stage surely is a queer sensation.
Fooling around today is alright, but to-
morrow nite, you'd better not even crack
a smile or else-that is until after the
graduation ceremony is over.
June 15. At last the final day has
come. I'm so nerv-
ous my teeth are
chattering. How-
ever, receiving your
diploma isn't so
bad. Your knees
Squiver a little, but
that's all. The
S speeches, music, di-
plomas, flowers and
everything was also lovely. However,
I'm glad it only happens once.
Wasn't it fun at the dance in the gym?
I hope you had as good a time as I did.
Well, now I bid thee farewell and best
of luck to the rest of my classmates of the
class of '34.

SOCCER
SOCCER
This year the soccer team had to step down from the pedestal of supremacy that they had
gained last year. One of the reasons for their not being able to retain the pedestal was because of
almost all new material with which to work.
The team was able to claim victory in the minor games they played but when it came to the
more important games they just couldn't gain the sought-after goal.
There seemed to be a lacking of teamwork which would enable the team to crash through
the defensive of the opponents.
The first soccer tilt went to Balboa on October 28 at the Balboa stadium with a rather one
sided score of 4 to 0. The first part of the game moved rather sluggishly due to a muddy field,
however, Balboa in the second quarter managed to chalk up one goal. The game had little to
offer in the way of excitement in the third quarter and much less to the Cristobal fans in the fourth
as it was in this quarter that Balboa obtained three goals. The Balboa team showed some ex-
cellect pass work.
The second game, played at Kokonut Park on November 4, did not bring the championship
any closer to Cristobal. The home team appeared with a much improved defensive but the for-
ward line was still weak. The game was lively throughl-out with both teams striving hard to be
victorious. Balboa edged in two goals, one in the third quarter and one in the fourth. The victory

W\e were no more successful against the Junior College than we were against Balboa. Cristo-
hal lost the lirst game to the tune 2-). The first goal made in the second quarter was pushed
through the goJl posts by Rankin's well trained toe. Both teams put up a hard fight and the
players deserve credit for their splendid performance.

On Saturday, November 11, the Junior College again defeated Cristobal with a 1-0 score at
the Balboa Stadium. There was no scoring in the first half, and in the third quarter, Rankin put
his well educated toe to work thus gaining the only goal of the game.
BASEBALL
Once more Balboa succeeded in taking the baseball laurels. The task seemed rather easy as
Balboa took four of the five games played.
It seems that in this sport also Cristobal lost quite a few good men and had none with which
to replace them. Due to the steady coaching of Mr. Miller, the boys managed to display a credit-
able showing for new material.
Balboa won the first game by the score 6-3. Although Max Sanders, sturdy southpaw for
Cristobal, pitched a good game, we were unable to win as he had no backing from the rest of the
team. Balboa took advantage of the situation and chalked up six runs.
Failure in the first game could not be attributed to the fact that the team was not on its home
field for it lost the second game which was played at the Mount Hope Stadium. The game was
one of many errors on both sides and the game ended with the score 8-7 in favor of the visitors.
There was a lapse of two weeks between the second and third games. Balboa won this game
with a margin of only three runs. The Cristobal team showed much improvement and managed
to get five runs, however, Balboa received eight to win the game.
Once more the Cristobal boys showed a decided improvement. In the fourth game Balboa
won bh a margin of only one run, the final score being 6-5. Sanders pitched a splendid game and
Healy put up a good backstop.
The last game was quite a surprise as the Cristobal boys obtained ten runs while the Balboa
boys only received four. Our boys revealed a hidden ability as they practically ran around Balboa
in circles.
Cristobal played one game with the Junior College. The score was rather lop-sided, fifteen
to one in favor of Cristobal.

TRACK
In the largest and most record breaking track meet ever held between Balboa, our dear old
Alma Mater came out of the scramble on top with a score of 47 points while Balboa had but 36.
The meet was full of excitement to the spectators as well as to the participants.
Paul Beard not only managed to pile up a neat sum of paints for the home team but also
broke two previous records and tied one as well.
"Little George" Tarflinger of Balboa took second place among the honored. He walked off
with thirteen points and two new records.
Five inter-school records were broken, three by Cristobal and two by Balboa. Beard broke
the 100 and 220 yard dashes and Hollowell, the 880. Tarflinger broke his own record of last year
by putting the shot 42 feet and throwing the discuss 100 feet and one half inch.
Of the ten first places Cristobal took six and shut out Balboa in the 220 yard dash by taking
all three places. The Cristobal relay team came in first in the 880 but were disqualified.
Spirit ran high in both teams and as a result they managed to break five previous records.

WOOD LOCKWOOD
BASKETBALL
The first game in the basketball series was held in the Cristobal High School gymnasium on
Friday evening the 13th of April.
The brilliant passwork on the part of the Cristobal team made the game very lively and
interesting. The home team also derived a great deal of inspiration from the student body with
their many new cheers.
In the first quarter, both teams started off with a bang, and terminated with the score 5 to 4
in favor of Balboa. The second quarter was full of fouls committed by both teams. However, the
score was a tie when the gong sounded. The home team showed fresh spirit in the third quarter
and managed to take the lead which it held until the end of the game. The final score was 23 to
16 in favor of Cristobal.
By holding its own in the first two periods and displaying a fast breaking and baffling attack
in the second half, the Balboa quintet swamped the Cristobal group 34 to 21 in the second game
of the the series between the two schools. Balboa's victory evened the inter-school series, each
team having one win and one loss.
The game opened with Jack Sutherland, Balboa, scoring one point on a foul shot. Cristobal
came back strong after Sutherland scored and rang up two field goals in rapid succession. The
first quarter ended with the Gold Coasters on the long end of a seven to six score.
The second quarter, which was the slowest of the game, saw neither team do any very heavy
scoring. Both teams roughed up considerably, and fouls were frequent. Balboa outplayed the
Gold Coasters in most respects during this period, and the whistle for the half found the home team
leading 14 to 11.
Balboa's attack in the last half was featured by the excellent shooting of Walter Friday who
sank three field goals. Cristobal's defeat is partly due to the loss of its star center, Charles Bath,
who had to be taken from the game in the first quarter.
Cristobal took the lead in the series by winning the third game with the rather close score of
25-23.
The first quarter was very lively and snappy with both teams showing a fine game of ball.
The quarter ended with the score 10 to 4 in favor of Cristobal.
Balboa sank the ball in the basket many times but the sharp shooting and pass work of the
home team enabled them to keep the lead.
The last quarter was very exciting for the players and spectators as well. With both teams
fighting hard, with but a few more minutes in which to play. and with the score tied, a foul was
called on a Balboa player. The shot was made good by the Cristobal player.
The fourth game in the series was played in Balboa. The Balboa basketeers managed to
chalk up another victory.
Both teams managed to present a boring exhibition in the first quarter.
The quintet of Balboa players seemed to run around the Cristobal players scoring quite
heavily all during the game.
The victory of the Balboans has brought about a dead-lock in the series. However we hope
that the Cristobal boys will come out on top.
The following are the Cristobal players:
Neely, Will, M. Sanders, I. Sanders, Bejarano, Alberga, Wheeler, Hanna, Beard, Bath,
Hollowell, Wharton. Russel, Horine.
GIRLS' SPORTS
By Beerle// Mrarcie,,e '54
This year our volley ball did not meet with the success which we anticipated. The inter-
school contest was won by Balboa who captured three out of five of the scheduled contests. Each
contest consisted of three games lasting over a period of twenty minutes each.
Several of the Cristobal girls did outstanding work. The downfall was due to lack of team
work. Although many of the best players will be lost through graduation, the new material shows
promise of developing into a team which should offer plenty opposition to Balboa.

HUMOR
By Robert llolten '34
A colored preacher was trying to im-
press upon his congregation the terrors
of hell.
"Bredern and Sistern," he called, "has
any of you all ever been to Bumingham,
Alabama whar the big steel wuks is?"
"Ah been thar Pasun," said one.
"Is you been in the mills and is you
see the hot steel as it comes out of de
fuhness?"
"Yas Preachuh, a seen it."
'"Well, den you knows how hot dat
stuff is. Ah wants to tell all you sinners
dat when dat stuff comes from dem
funaces it's hot. It's hot, it's white siz-
zling hot, in fact none of you can go near
it without getting all shriveled to a crisp.
Well, Bredern and Sistern, in Hell dey
uses dat stuff fo ice cream."
1lan (in theater): "Say, you, howja
like ter tell me where the smoking' room
is, hey, kid?"
Girl Usher (sweetly): "Go right down
this hall and turn to your right. You
will see a sign that says 'Gentlemen.'
Don't pay any attention to it. Just go
right in."
Silence is said to be safe but a great
deal of trouble comes from the still.
"Waiter," said the diner waiting for
his dinner, "have you ever been to the
zoo?"
"No, sir."
"Well, go some time you would enjoy
seeing the turtles whizzing by."
IFertz (feeling swell): "Do you know
Tyke Cotton?"
Sid (not feeling any more): "What's
his name?"
Wert:: "Who?"
Watchman: "Young man, do you in-
tend to kiss this poor innocent girl?"
Young man: "Oh, no!"
Waatchman: "Then hold this lantern."
Anna Reilly is so sure of herself she

A little girl was put in an upper berth
of a pullman for the first time. She kept
crying until her mother told her not to
be afraid, because God would watch over
her. "Mother, are you there?" "Yes."
"Father, are you there?" "Yes." A fellow
passenger lost all patience at this point
and shouted: "We are all here! Your
father and mother and brothers and sis-
ters and aunts and uncles and cousins.
All here! Now go to sleep." Pause, then
softly: "Mama!" "Yes." "Was that
God?"
A mountainer, who had been convicted
of being a quick trigger feudist was lan-
guishing in jail. His friends were trying
to get him a pardon, while the opposite
clan was pulling the strings against him
and spreading all sorts of slender about
him. Finally, moved to action he wrote:
"Deer Guvner, if you-all has heered all
I heered you-all heered, you-all has
heered a lie."
Jack: "Do you know at what age a
baby begins to think?"
Joe: "Certainly, mine began to think
I ought to walk the floor with it at night
the first week it was at home."
"How is that clock you won at the
fair?"
"Swell, it does an hour in less than
forty-five minutes."
.1r. Hackett: "Give me three proofs
the earth is round."
Bill Hollowell: "The book says so,
you say so, and ma says so."
JMinister: "And what does you moth-
er do for you when you have been a good
girl?"
ilary Ann: "She lets me stay home
from church."
Things have reached the point where

Mr. Seiler was giving the class some
advice on the benefits of physical train-
ing.
Said he: "Ten years ago I was a
walking monument to careless living, a
broken down, disgraceful appearing spec-
imen of humanity an all together worth-
less creature, to myself and to the com-
munity. What do you suppose has
brought this change in me?" He paused
for a moment to throw out his chest and
see the effect of his words. Then the
poor Frosh demanded: "What change?"
When the foreman stated the jury nas
unable to reach a verdict the judge said
he would have t .elve suppers sent in,
upon which the foreman said: "May it
please your honor, make it eleven suppers
and a bale of hay."
"Hey, Conductor," yelled the traveller
on the Panama Railroad, "That was my
station, why didn't you stop there?"
"We don't stop there any more," ex-
plained the conductor, "The engineer is
mad at the station agent."
She: "Would you leave home for
me?"
He: "I would leave a baseball game
in the ninth inning with the score tied
for you."
"I'm going to town with you this after-
noon, James," said the soldier's wife.
"I want to do a little shopping while the
bargains are still on."
"I understand your plans," responded
her husband. "The drive is to be followed
by a counter attack."
"Did you hear Miss Crooner's voice
on the radio last night?"
"Yes I listened very carefully."
"Do you think her voice ought to be
cultivated?"
"N. I think it should have been har-
vested years ago."
"Rufus, did you go to the lodge meet-
ing last night?"
"N.. sir, we had to postpone it. The
Grand All-Powerful Invincible Most
Supreme Unconquerable Potentate got
beat up by his wife."
Sufferer: "I have a terrible toothache,
could you suggest some kind of relief?"
Friend: "I had a toothache myself
last week and I went and my loving wife
kissed me and consoled me and in a few
minutes the pain was all gone. Why
don't you try the same sort of thing?"
Sufferer: "I think I will. Is your wife
home now?"
Dizzy Beers: Look me over, Dad,
nifty scenery. What? I'll say. Solomon

His Pop: "No I reckon not. Solomon
was a wise man."
Constituent: "Senator, you promised
me a job and now you say there are no
jobs."
Senator: "No, there are no jobs at
present but I think I can get you ap-
pointed to a commission to investigate
why there are no jobs."
Captain: "You are charged with being
drunk. Have you anything to say for
yourself?"
Sailor: "Sir, I have never been drunk
in my life, and never intend to be-it
always makes me feel so bad next morn-
ing."
Doctor: "That man owes me 200
dollars for services and he not only re-
fuses to pay but he doesn't even worry
over it."
Said the young questioner of the fami-
ly: "Dad, am I made of dust?"
Poor Pa: "You emphatically are not,
otherwise you would dry up sometimes."
Little Boy: "Mother, do cows and
bees go to heaven?"
.llother: "Why Sonny, what a strange
question! Why?"
Little Boy: "Because if they don't all
the milk and honey the preacher said
was up there is all canned goods and I'm
tired of all such things."
Raining cats and dogs is very bad in-

What is it called if you have but one
wife?"
Bohby lert:: "Monotony."

an old face had reappeared among his

The meaning of the word "collision"
was being explained by the teacher of the

happened to be out of town. He was
leaving by the back door and in his hurry,
did not seem to recognize us. As the
gentleman is not a subscriber to the
IJeek/l Banner, we earnestly request that
he forward $6.00 at his earliest conven-
ience, so that he can keep abreast of the
times and take advantage of the excep-
tional offers made by our advertisers."

new subscribers.

light night like this?"

at my window."

for more flowers."

A gentleman from the middle west
tells us about a tin roof that was blown
off a country store and rolled into a com-
pact bundle. The owner having a sense
of humor wrapped it up with bailing wire
and sent it to Henry Ford. In due time
the answer arrived saving: "It will cost
you $8.50 to have your car repaired, but
for Heaven's sake tell us what hit it."
