I Friday, October 20, 1933 PISMO TIMES, PISMO BEACH, CALIFORNIA. PAGE FIVE and the student body as a whole owe her a vote of thanks. Capt. Gullivers Explanation Arroyo Grande Union High School News ET By KATHERINE SANFORD held here next Tuesday evening. Santa Maria has been invited to participate in these services, and is expected to play a prominent part in bringing in the new members.

The officers elected Monday night were: president, Otis Smith; vice president, Clair Gibson; secretary-treasurer, Jack Thatcher; reporter, Preston Jones. The advisors for the club are principal Clarence Burrell, Coach A1 Beecroft, Mr. Louis Swenson, and principal Hugh Bruce, of the Morro Bay grammar school. Further and more complete accounts of the local Hi-Y club and its activities will appear from time to time as the club becomes more firmly established. Choral Society Practice Date Changed Approximately thirty were in attendance at the weekly practice cf the El Pismo Choral Society at the music room of the school Tuesday evening.

It was decided to change the date of the next concert scheduled for November 8, at the Pismo Beach School to November 15, owing to conflicting date, November 8, with the regular meeting night of the Ramona Chapter of the Eastern Star, at Arroyo Grande. The El Pismo Choral Society is still asking for new members, and everyone who likes to sing is extended an invitation. WI.NIFft&D PRATT, the Arroyo Grande team. Baxter, who played his first game in the backfield this year, may possibly develop into a valuable backfield man. His defensive game is weak.

Ely, Arroyo right end, proved efficient at breaking up several of Lompocs passes. Branson got off a couple of good punts. Ralph French played a very good defensive game at left end position. French is a hard, law tackier, and, as he is only a freshman, he has every prospect of developing into an invaluable player before he is a senior. Coach A1 Beecroft says all the boys realize that they let down in their home game with the Santa Maria team Saturday before last.

They would doubtelessly have won over the Saints if they had played with the same spirit they showed Saturday. Although Arroyo was on the short end of the score, it must be remembered that they were going out of their class to take on a team of heavyweights. When the average weights of the Lompoc players, 165 pounds, is compared with the average weight of the Arroyo players, 140 pounds, it can readily be seen that the local team put up a strong fight against long odds. The lineups were as follows: Lompoc Main Donaldson Parker Morehart Haley Swanson Lair Beers Higgins Akin Davis Substitutes were: Arroyo Grande: C. Smith, Burgan, Walton, Cook, Garecen, Vidal, Wright, Farnsworth, Kurtz, and Owen Smith.

Lompoc: McGregor, Olinger, Pat-tee, Read, Rohlfeen, Shuler, Schuyler, Smale, Tashiro, Tsyasko, Archer, Betaque, Cook, Dowse, Kilker-son, Valla Whibbley, Winans, Alexander, Glidden, Jenks, Lair, Larsen. Arroyo Grande is scheduled to play three more teams; San Luis Obispo, Cambria, and Templeton. In all of these games they will be in their own class, and they are confident that the scores will be in their favor. The game with San Luis Obispo will be played on the home field tomorrow morning at 10:30 oclock. Football fans are urged to turn out and encourage the boys to wage a winnig battle.

This is a league game. Juniors Will Soon Have "Tommy" Ready For Presentation The first and second acts of Tommy have been mastered by the cast of the junior class play. The sparkling, original three-act comedy will be presented before the publics of Pismo Beach and Arroyo Grande on Nov. 17 and 18. The complete cast now reads as follows: Mrs.

Wilson, Dorothy Bakeman, Helen Taylor; Marie Thurber, Barbara McCoy, Rosalyn Edwards; Mrs. Thurber, Irene Harter, Virginia DeLillies; Bearnard, Turner Mathews, Junior Stadley; Mr. Thurber, Fred Ross; David Tuttle, James Shryock; Tommy Mills, Glen Whitlock; Judge Wilson, Eugene Schul-enberg.

No School Thanksgiving Week As the teachers institute will be held at Watsonville on the 27th, 28th and 29th of November, and the regular two-day Thanksgiving vacation falls on the 30th of November and the first of December, the schools of four counties, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Monterey, and San Benito, will be closed thru-out Thanksgiving week. Miss Ruffcorn, regional supervisor of home economics, visited this high school last Friday. On Saturday she attended the bi-monthly meeting of the home economics teachers of the county, which was held at Miss Stones home in San Luis Obispo. Due to the fact that neither of the official yell leaders were present at Saturdays football game, Claudia Hedding relieved the Lompoc rooting section of the double burden' of yelling for two teams by taking charge of the Arroyo rooters. She handled the task very capably and both the absentee yell leaders Pismo A.

Freshmen Initiated Amid Cheers and Jeers of Upper Classmen Doubt no longer surrounds the status of those heretofore vague and indefinite bipeds contemptuously referred to by upper classmen as fresh. Since the morning of Friday 13.

1933, they have been freshmen, and worthy and respectable members of this noble institution, They owe the thanks for their remarkable tiansformation to the members of the sophomore class, those wise and illustrious personages without the purely altruistic interest of whom the frosh" could never survive their myriad trials and travails. The climax of the sophomores unusual willingness to aid and abet the newcomers in the furtherance of their chosen caiers at A. G. U. H.

S. was reached last Friday morning, when the second year students treated their young friends to an initiation before the assembly at which a good time was had by all. Proceedings were in the nature of a radio program, broadcast over station S. O. P.

H. all the way from Radio City in New York. Preston Jones presided as master of ceremonies. Our great benefit program this morning is dedicated in all seriousness and dignity to the little strangers in our home those beings of youth, innocence and sunshine the members of the freshman class, said Preston Jones, and the freshmen took him at his word. He then presented Miss Lois Miller, our esteemed and honored president of last year.

Lois, in turn, presented that world renowned seer and astrologist, Madame Abazaba Wco Woo, who came to S. O. P. H. direct from Hindustani.

Madame Abazaba Woo Woo, otherwise known as Wilda Harris, entertained and thrilled the freshmen with her uncanny insight into the dark recesses of thier future. 'Introducing the Barber Shop Harmony Boys, said the announcer at the conclusion of Madame Abazaba Woo Woos act. Lets have it. In compliance the Barber Shop Harmony Boys held the marveling freshmen spellbound with their haunting nasal intonation of Sweet Adeline. Four of the freshment girls were so enraptured at this procedure that they decided they must become better acquainted with the dashing and versatile barbers immediately, and volunteered to go up on the platform and get haircuts.

They just knew something unusual was going to happen the minute the barbers blindfolded them, and then (oh, thrill of thrills!) each felt a moist, earnest kiss on her cheek that made her heart palpitate and flutter. This stunt has caused the four sophomore boys involved more than a little embarrassment, as it seems entirely beyond their power to convince the enamoured freshmen that they know nothing about the kisses the girls claim were bestowed on them, and that even if they were guilty, they shouldnt have been taken seriously. Perhaps the quartet had better call in that paragon of virtue and discretion known as a senior, who, having witnessed the whole affair, can destroy the freshmen's illusions by exonerating the beleaguered sophomores of all implications. It seems that Santa Claus, having begun work early this year, had left a little present for those freshmen boys and girls who had been good all during the year. The little people were required to march up to the platform and pay a forfeit to redeem th wonderful gifts.

As the last number on the pro gram, Dixon Conrad, president of i the sophomore class, outlined the S. O. P. H. scientific plan for the training of freshmen in the home or at school.

Before signing off, Preston Jones invited the listeners in to attend the freshman reception which was held at 8:30 oclock that evening, in the ballroom of station S. O. P. H.

ANNOUNCING The OPENING of THE NEW IPAQM Amusements and Dance Centre i The Football Story of the Season The interior of Victor Hugos grave would doubtlessly become the scene of some truly unique acrobatics if the deceased had any way of knowing that a great number of high school students think The Hunch-Back of Notre Dame is a football story.

Even the members of the football squad are smugly convinced that Quasimodo was a gent who played at hunch back position on the varsity eleven of his dear old alma mater at South Bend, Indiana. Miss Theobald received a long letter from Miss Mae Chrisman, Tuesday morning. Miss Chrisman, formerly a member of the faculty at this school, inquired about the students she knew here, and her friends in Arroyo "Grande. The girls physical education class which she now instructs at the Livermore high school, is interested in playing hockey. Miss Chrisman is also working with a Christmas cantata, as well as directing her glee club in the program it puts on for various Livermore hospitals.

The members of the freshman class were received at a delightful dance sponsored by the sophomores at te high school last Friday evening. The hall was beautifuly decorated in green and silver, the sophomore class colors, and pine cones, the class emblem. As the date was that' well known jinx, Friday 13, huge silver numeral thirteens were strung from wire at frequent intervals. Excellent music for the occasion was furnished by Sellers orchestra.

Oct. 19, 1933 Editor, Pismo Times, Pismo Beach, Calif. Dear I want to commend you for the attitude you have taken with reference to the visit of the Con-Istitution.

1 And we kept the faith. What I a glorious feeling of responsibility and accomplishment it must have been for the Skipper of the Constitution of other years when the patriotic faith, yes even the fate of the Colonies depended so much upon its keeping. How much like that time is the setting of today when our men in high places are crying for patriotism to keep the old ship of state from foundering. But how different the other setting. How easy for some one in high command to break the faith and thereby wreck a confidence that has been a long time ir.

ne building. This is the first time in my life I have attempted to unburden myself in this manner and I expect you hope it is the last for I am go ing to ask you some questions I know you cannot answer, in fact, I never hope to get an answer because of policy (politics to you and me). However the faith has been broken so squarely, the error, affront, or whatever you wish to call it was so glaring that I for one hope it will be fought to the last line of trenches. In my humble opinion only two things could have kept Old Ironsides out of our Port. One was her sinking, and what a glorious epitaph She tried to keep the faith," and the other would have been that our Government did not own enough boats to rope her and bring her in should she break her tow line.

Will some one please tell me why it was necessary to maintain a schedule like a passenger train on this trip that was no doubt arranged at a patriotic junket but that turned out a social triumph. On her trip north she could not stop for she was scheduled to be in San Francisco on a certain date. Her Log will no doubt show she did come part way into our Port for protection and arrived a day or so late at the Golden Gate but I have not seen where any sued her, in fact I have not seen where even the reception committee was inconvenienced. Also why was it necessary, after entering a Port for the edification and inspection by the populace, to leave that Port before at least those gathered to welcome her had been given that opportunity. I will answer that one myself.

It was The big bad wolf schedule. This smacks familiarly of the old gag of asking the prisoner what his hurry when he had a life time to do it in. Another thing, do our navy engineers admit they cannot protect the old ship so that she can be tied up to any pier where the water is deep enough? If so then I suggest they call on the school children (whom they have disappointed) again and they will provide pennies to purchase feather beds if need be in order to afford af least a close view of the old ship that their pennies have made possible. The economic side of this fiasco could hardly have been expected to enter thfe minds -of those responsible but personally I was impressed by hte labor and expense to the taxpayers to say nothing of the disarrangement of the school routine. I for one think this old ship is an heritage of the children of this nation to be enjoyed and revered by all alike irrespective of whether they live in a small Port or a big influential one.

In closing. I noted in the press that the Commanders wife awaited him at the next Port but ho hum hasnt it been a grand social season for the Old Ship? Yours for a square deal, GEO. H. CROZIER. Old Mission Parish Festival Nov.

17th Annual autumn festival of the Old Mission Parish of San Luis Obispo will be held Friday and Saturday, Nov. 17 and 18. The tentative program includes turkey whist Friday evening and a barbecue dinner, concessions and entertainment program Saturday evening. Mrs. D.

C. Jean is general chairman; W. H. Pfleghaar, treasurer; Will P. Brady, secretary; Mrs.

Harry Reycraft, in charge of barbecue dinner. Other committees will oe announced later. The autumn festival is an annual event of the parish. FIRE DRILL AT ARROYO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Fire drill was held at the Arroyo Grande Grammar School Thursday. At 1:45 the fire alarm was turned in.

Charles Branch and Irvin Bailey got out the fire truck in about one minute and a half and were quickly over at the school building. Periodical fire practice is held to train the children to leave the school in an orderly manner, should necessity ever arise. My Garden In 1934 This is the season of the year to think ahead and plan for the garden. Many ideas are afloat for the beautification of our vacant spaces, namely, those lots that are owned oi controled by absentees who never see the ugly contrast between neglected property along-side the well-groomed property of the resident. However willing the latter may be to do not only his own part but also the part of the absentee, there is always a hesitancy about intrusion upon that which is anothers, even if he knew the other would be glad to have it cared for; no one wants to give offense, and yet, we do want our little strip cf earth to be fair and bright and cheery.

It would be a courtesy greatly appreciated, if the owners of property particularly along the highways, Price and Dolliver streets, would send word to the Garden Section of Pismo Beach Womans Civic Club, granting them permission to have the ground prepared and planted to lawns, shrubs and flowers, as the case may be; that is, if the owner is unable to do anything about it himself. I wish every absentee' could have seen the happiness expressed in the faces of Pismos guests, last season, produced by the varied blooms. Good as far as it goes; this year it must go much farther. If I had my way I would have flowers in such abundance on our vacant lots, that children who are starved for them, and adults as well, could pick and pick to their heart content. Did you ever see a young child fix his eye on a flower determined to get it? Restraint may be forced for a while, but no adult is strong enough or persistent enough to keep that child from picking that flower.

That is a symptom of aesthetic starvation; set him in an area where the picking dees no damage and let him have the feast his soul craves. Let us take a walk out together some day and view critically the landscape oer; let us talk about what adornment would lend to it the most pleasing charm. What if dreams are not realized, there is great pleasure in dreaming; moreover, without a dream there is no realization. May I suggest a symposium? Here is the subject: What would I do if it were my privilege to landscape or adorn all the territory included in Pismo Beach? This means: Where would I put trees, where shrubs and where flowers. Of the infinite varieties of each, just what would I put in any designated place.

I would like to see letters written on this theme. MRS-. C. F. MILLS.

They elected officers and discussed the Induction Services which are to be IN Lompoc Downs Arroyo 20-0 After a hard-fought game on the home field Saturday, the A class team from Lompoc downed the local squad 20 to 0. Although the Arroyo eleven were outplayed, they put up a determined and courageous battle, the outcome of which would assuredly have been different had they been playing in their own class. Lompoc kicked off to Arroyo to open the game.

Arroyo failed to make a first down, and Bianson's tunias. punt was blocked on their own 1 thirty yard line.
