Juanita Wright, treasurer, and

pose of the Federation,” which
was begun by an invitation of
Miss Nellie Greene Clarke, then
vice-principal of Long Beach high
school, to the separate girls’ lea¬
gue of near-by high schools to
meet at Long Beach and draw
up a constitution.
The girls were entertained by
a Spanish dance staged by
Pauline and Madeline White, ac¬
companied by Miss Loretta Hen-
drichs, of the the physical edu¬
cation department, and by a
quintet composed of Dorothea

in a recent examination given by
the advisory committee, an attempt
was made to determine if students
are intentionally discourteous.
The final returns from the papers
are quite evident of the fact that
students are not aware of their in
discretions.
An overwhelming majority rated
themselves over 80%. However
only a few cared to set themselves
as shining examples of 100%.
Five divisions of courtesy were
covered by the tests ; 1- in assembly
2- in the classroom ; 3- in the halls ;
4- to the teachers ; 5- to fellow stu¬
dents.
Based on a survey of 100 papers
for each point, the following were
the most frequently rated low; for
gum chewing and eating in assem¬
bly, 37 ; for attention in class, 57 ;
for fair deal to fellow students in

as caption, the crowd which had
been waiting without gave forth a
satisfied sigh.
Mallory has been a member of
the P.H.S. varsity football team
for two years, and was selected to
fill the position of fullback on the
all coast league team this year.
On defense, Tom is like a stone¬
wall, backing up the line with won¬
derful ability. On offense he may
be counted upon to gain the needed
two or three yards necessary to
make first down. He hits the line
hard and fast.
Country Club Thursday noon,
December 2, the P. H. S. boys’ and
girls’ glee clubs, under the direc¬
tion of Miss.Lula C. Parmley, with
assisting soloists, presented a
program.
The girls’ glee club, under the
direction of Miss Parmley, sang
“Dawn,” ‘ by Curran, and “The
Miller’s Wooing,” by Fanning.
Donald Novis, tenor, sang
“Until” by Sanderson, and “Jean”
by Spross. Floyd Brehm, bari¬
tone, sang “The Trumpeter,” by
Dix.
The boy’s glee club, under the
direction of Miss Mary Petcina,
sang “Gypsy Song,” by Hyde, and
“Her Rose,” by Coombs, with a
ginia Yerxa. Margaret Hayes
played a violin solo, accompanied j tenor scdo by Maynor Shove,

INTERESTING PROGRAM
AT LEADERS’ MEETING
Demonstrations on the horse
with the pummel, on the horse
without the pummel, and on the
buck were given by Maxine Heid-
ner, J. C., Gladys Lee, ’27, Mary
Pickett, ’27, and Normad Sterratt,
’28, at the monthly girls’ squad i
leader meeting, which was held '
recently in the girls’ inside gym.
Miss Elizabeth Jensen, of the
physical education department, ex¬
plained the elements of apparatus,
as well as the proper ways of
setting up the different pieces.
The courage vault, the side
vault, the squat vault, and the
flank vault were demonstrated by
the four girls, who were received
in turn by each girl present at
the meeting.
The results of the test are rather
surprising in the fact that the
points on which the committee ex¬
pected a low rating received a high
rating and vise versa.
It is quite obvious the students
have good intentions of being cour¬
teous, but do not have the courage
to carry out their convictions.
Giving a program of Spanish
songs and dances, Estela Zarzo,
six-year-old dancer from Los
Angeles, entertained members of
the “La Hispaniola” club and
other students of Spanish at a
meeting held last Thursday in
the music hall.
Dressed in a typical Spanish
costume, she sang two songs, both
of which were enthusiasticaly re¬
ceived by the audience. As most
of the students were familiar with
“La Paloma,” the first song that
she sang, she was very much
applauded, all agreeing evidently
that her choice was appropiate
for presentation before a Spanish
club. She next presented two
Spanish dances, “La Jota” and
“Valencia.”
Aaron Gonzales, program chair¬
man of the club, gave several
Spanish selections on the piano.
Luck to Long Beach! In the
last student council meeting a
letter was written to Long Beach
Poly high wishing their football
team luck in the state champion¬
ship battle. Other letters were
written to the various uptown
papers thanking them for the
wonderful publicity they gave the
P. H. S.-Long Beach game.
In many classes the entire hour
was taken up by recitation or
lecture not allowing the allotted
study period of twenty minutes.
The student council in an effort
to appease student opinion sent
a letter to the faculty requesting
a restoration of the study periods.
Don Tyler was authorized to
purchase the letters for the foot¬
ball teams. These letters will be
distributed during the assembly
of December 10.
Students of the various schools
in town who won Kiwanis awards
last year were guests of honor
at the luncheon, also the P. H.
S. varsity football team and Coach
Harry Milholin, and several princi¬
pals. Mr. Ewing and W. K.
Dunn, head of the physical edu¬
cation department, were also pre¬
sent.
The music department will have
charge of a program to be pre¬
sented before the Rotary club at
the Hotel Maryland, December 15.
