the Blue and White" at the end of
each term. The editor IS one of the
class, as is the manager. To guard
against loss the faculty demands a
bond of $500 from the manager, that in
case the venture fails to pay the school
officers will be secured. The book now
being published on the semi-annual
plan is said to be the finest issue west
of the Rockies and many of the pupils
are unwilling to make a change for
fear their new effort will not reflect
the glory on the school the present
one does.
Lawrence Hill, president of the stu
dent body, spoke strongly in favor of
the monthly magazine yesterday af-
ternoon, as did Charles Mills. Rae
Petty, who spoke against it, declared
that the faculty had refused permiS-
sion before, fearing they would have
to help pay; Dut now he declared,
since there was money in the treasury
for athletics, they were willing to have
the pupils risk it, secure IN the knowl-
edge that the athletic funds would de-
fray their expenses. He was loudly
applauded, but Prof. Housh proceeded
to set him right on several of his
statements. Dick Montgomery also
made an earnest plea to the pupils to
down the new venture at the election
today.
Senior A class plays seem to pay fl
nancially, as well as socially. At the
production of Janice Meredith" given
by the A class of the high school at
the Burbank theater last week, the
committee cleared $l00.95 on its day.
The Success of the financial part of the
play was due to the business manage
ment of Walter Hartung, chairman of
the financial committee, and to his as
sstant, Walter Duzan.
This fund will be expended in buying
a present for the class teacher, Miss
Bertha Oliver, and a work of art for
the school, the latter to keep the class
memory ever fresh in the hearts of yet
unborn pupils who, it is expected.
will some day frequent the halls of
l.. A. high.
The girls basketball team will play
its first game Of the new term Satur-
day afternoon, when the exponents Of
the blue and white will meet Whittier
team on the latter's court at Whittier.
Among the rev courses added to the
curriculum of L. A. high Is an ad-
Vanced course In electricity, open to all
pupils who have taken a full year of
physics. The classical department will
read Plato in the original Greek Friday
after school. The embryo philosophers
will meet under the trees, and amid
such romantic surroundings as in
spired the souls of the ancient Greeks
to mighty deds of thought, they will
seek to lure wisdom.
Apropos of Greek, the Los Angeles
high schools Greek department is said
to be the largest in the state. Not
of Greek students include in their
number but three boys. The girls are
about six to one. The Greek teachers
are striving hard to find what insur-
mountable barrier keeps the average
American youth from evincing fond
ness for the Homeric tongue, but as
yet they have not met with any sue
cess.
Although the senior classes behaved
perfectly at the class day exercises
last week, ii seems as If their efforts
to persuade the board OF education
that class organizations are good |
thing have failed While the senior
A class will be permitted to retain its |
class organization, rumor points TO am |
edict forbidding senior B organiza- |
tion for the coming term. This order |
includes class officers colors and all |
other hitherto inviolable privileges |
that have made the senior classes the |
envy Of the lower grades.
