City High School KINGS ‘AND A QUEEN) IN THE “NEW DEAL” (Editorial) As Will Rogers, unofficial critic of Kings, Presidents and the world in general, remarked: ‘‘That list of new Cabinet members sent everybody scurrying through Who’s Who, the World Almanac, and the United States Finger Print Department trying to find out who they were.” For while the new Cabinet contains men well known in their various professions and activities and more than qualified for their important tasks, the names of many men prominent.in the Democratic party were noticiably missing. However, the “Kings’’ in the ‘‘New Deal’ are a capable and versatile group of men. It is rather a noteworthy fact that William H. Woodin, appointed as Secretary of the Treasury, has dur-. dng his life time acquired a many sided nature. Although the son of wealthy parents, he fought his own way to success in business, being the music, Mr. Woodin has composed not only such song hits as ‘“‘Gypsy Love Song”’ and “The Rose of Seville,”’ but five symphonies“tnd a children’s book of songs! In addition, he collects coins, plays the guitar, and like Hoover and Roosevelt, likes to fish. A versatile fellow, no doubt. Frances Perkins, the ‘‘Queen”’ of the ‘‘New Deal,’”’ after making ‘a life ‘study of labor and social conditions is well equipped for the position of Secretary of Labor. Her appointment to this position will make history, since she is the first woman to be a member of the Presidents Cabinet. THE BIG CHEESE On the evening of April 4, the “student body of the N. C. H. S. held their annual play, a snappy comedy entitled—“‘The Big Cheese.” The theme of the play centers around Wahie Larkin, a mere bookkeeper in the Brewster Cheese Company, who, having lied to a girl from his’ home town, finds it necessary to pose as the president of the Brewster Cheese Company. This deception is carried on when the girl arrives in town, in the office of the real president’s son, Bob Brewster. Many complications follow. The deception is cleverly ‘carried out but in the end Doris Bancroft and her friend Verna Callaway find out that Wallie has been lying. Wallie's office force consists of a fake stenographer, who in reality is the daughter of the cheese king Samuel Brewster; Ted Spratt, a. messenger; Bob Brewster, a bookkeeper, and Mabel Hogan the switch board operator yelept ‘“‘The Voice With the Smile,” However, all’s well that ends well, and so it was with “The Big Cheese.’’ Bob Tamblyn injected considerable realism into the part of Ted Spratt with his wads of gum, ‘“‘ice cream sodys,’’ loud ties, and tooaffectionately-fitting trousers. “Chich’’ Barker put himself into one knows that means the bookkeeper was snappy, resourceful and ative to every situation. . “Ruth Rector furnished a distinct office flavor’ with hér demonstration of the elastic and other popular Qualities of ‘gum; ‘her snooty ‘officegirl airs; and her quick repartee. Ruth Parker’s part as Verna Call@way was too insignificant for the @bility of the actress. Histrionic art bubbles from all Ruth’s pores. Warren Chapman’s dramatic ability displayed itself in his heavy portrayal of Samuel Brewster, ‘the choTeric president of the Brewster Cheese Company. Phyllis Horn put something of her oWn attractive personality, her soft Voice and winning smile, into Doris Bancroft, and made her something of @ person. ‘ .

They left school at ten-forty-five and returned at one o’clock. They started on the Gold Flat road, but turn-ed off on a trail through the trees until they came to Day’s Pond. Here they ate their lunch, after which they returned to school. The object of. the trip was to observe all living plants and animals; so the students were keenly alive to ever bird, ant, bee, butterfly, cocoon, and frog that appeared above, on or under their path. The trophies of their chase are some frogs and frogeggs; but the memories of their pleasure are more abundant. ae ee ce e = A Visit To An Honored Relic Of Our Honored Past The Constitution, or Old Ironsides, seemed a veritable lodestone during April 1 and 2. A large delegation of N. C. H. S. students climbed out of their beds, (if they went to bed that night) at one. Saturday morning in order to be on the Narrow Gauge When it. pulled out of the station for -Colfax. It was a peppy crowd that boarded the big Special Southern Pacific train at Colfax. But after a few hours the crowd changed into-a sleepy one. We all agree that Ruth Parker holds the championship for sleeping. It was next to impossible to keep her awake. As day began to break, the crowd began to regain their pep, so by the time we arrived at our destination we were full of vim, vigor and vitality. The main business of Saturday morning was going: to see Old Ironsides, which was most enjoyed by those who had to wait an hour or two to get aboard. According to Gerald and others, Lucca’s was the favorite eating place. The Fox and other theatres seemed to be well patronized as well as the Beach, both Saturday and Sunday. The home-going crowd was split up into many different groups, as: there were three or four different trains on which we could return. The two largest groups took trains that left Sunday morning and at 9:00 Sunday night. The group which came home Sunday morning arrived at Nevada City about 3:00 that afternoon; but the group that stayed until Sunday night arrived in ‘Colfax at 2:20 a. m. where they had the choice of waiting for the Narrow Gauge which would arrive in Nevada City between 8:00 and 8:30 Monday, or coming home in Sutton’s milk truck. The latter was the common choice, so we left Colfax at 3:15 and arrived home about 5:00 Monday morning, in time for a wink of sleep before school. Much to the teachers surprise, all but two or three turned up at school that morning, half ay to be sure, but there in body if not in wits. _For the past few weeks, tennis lovers of Nevada City high have had an opportunity to display their skill on the court by entering a tennis tournament sponsored by the physical .education.,-department. The doubles games have not been Played yet, and the singles are still incomplete. In the preliminary battles, Johnnie Chinn, Freshman, was defeated by Irene Felice, Sophomore: 6-0; 6-0. A tilt between Cecil Schiffner, Sophomore, and William Charronet, Senior, ended in vietory for Charronet; 6-3; 6-2. Harry Davey and Tamblyn fought three ‘hard gets: Which finally ended with Davey on the long end. These sets ran 3-6; 6-3; 6-4. Chick Barker, Senior, defeated Ben Sweeney, Junior, in another group of hard fought sets. . , ‘The scores on these wer 4-6; 6-2; 8-6. John Hoffman, Snior, playing the winner of the Schiffner-Charronet games was defeated in two sets ending 6-4; 7-5. i In the. semi-finals sHarry Davey lost two sets-to Chick Barker with Scores of 6-3; 6-3. The ‘winner of the match between Felice and Charronet will play Barker for the championship. These last lod vecwens }the best tennis players of Nevada address.”” —— LIBRARY NOTES Do you know that when you keep a book out of the library over two weeks that there is a five cent fine for every day that it is overdue? This also applies to reference books which are kept out over one night. This is not just another way of making money; it is a way to prevent you from being inconsiderate of others. Usually your reason for doing it are poor. You have more than likely laid it aside on the shelf and forgotten you ever had the book. So in the near future, let’s be more thoughtful. It will not only benefit others but it will benefit ourselves. Nickels have an individuality in these days of moratoriums.

LISTEN, DUMB, DEAF AND BLIND As long as the school year has progessed there are still some students who do not know how to make out a slip of ‘‘Loan Request’’ when taking books or magazines out of library. the The following is a model.

If you are taking a book out you find the call number in the back of the book on a slip pasted in the book. Look for this yourself; don’t make the librarian look it up for you. If, however, it is a magazine you look on the cover for the date of the issue and put that under the call number on your ‘‘Loan Request.’’ In the past three or four months we have had some new books added to our Hbrary: Will James’ Books, Parsens’ Stream of History, and a ‘fine set of World Books. Californians must have felt the second shock in two weeks, when Bernard Shaw, Irish playwright and wit, landed in San Francisco, on his trip around the world. Though he had sworn never to visit America, where his plays have been widely produced, because he “would be expected to say “pleasant things’? absut the country, Mr. Shaw apparently changed his mind. He had just cpme from Hong. Kong, where, in an address to university students, he told them to read ‘“‘real’” books instead of text books, and advised them always to argue with their teachers. : Blah By Ben -& padded. cell for Alex McGuzzles He went goofy on jig-saw puzzles. Have you gone cuckoo on jig-saws, too? I have finally discovered that is the main trouble with Ralph Pierce. He -~-went completely mad looking for a missing piece on a puzzle when he was a kid, and evidently the ‘piece is still missing. Things are getting exciting about the school lately. We’re keeping up with other schools by having fights and explosions. every now and then. The fight was staged between Murch and Jeff one sunny noon time ‘and the explosion, well, ask Mr. Kjorlie. Since the navy has been @round the West coast a great deal lately, we might sling ‘a few jokes about the sailors. This: with all due respect to our U.S. Navy whose watchword is, “We fear no one but God.” “Well, well,” sneered the sea-captain to the new sailor. “Ty you’re the veteran you say you are, you should show some evidence. Have you any scars on you?’’
“I’m awfully sorry,” replied the innocent fresh {seaj-man. 9*‘I’m, all outa cigars. How about trying: a cigarette?”’ ‘Hey wots comin’ off ’ere?” yelled the injured captain as he woke up and found them amputating his leg. Then, of course, we have the foolish musician who, went hunting for a furnished room with a saxaphone under his arm. . “Ahoy, Grop me a line,” éried the downing sailor. daa " “Sorry,” replied the helpful pal on board, “‘but I don’t know your ee third. years past. {And Johnnie Sbaffi, best of all TRACK MEET RESULTS Low Hurdles won by: E.

The Nevada high “A” division took third place in the Sierra Foothill League. The “B” team, however, was not so successful; they did not win one league game all season. Nevertheless, they were good losers, and under the guidance of Coach ‘“Bev’’ Barron’ showed great improvement before the sg son was over. This is the last basketball a great many of these boys will play in Nevada City as every man on the “A”’ squad will be graduated with the exception of Ralph Pierce. As for the games between Nevada City and Grass Valley, the results were just the reverse of those in dit was the first time the N. C. “A” squad has beaten G. V. in seven years Whereas our “B” team had not been defeated for seven years by Grass Valley. Now that basketball season is over, the spotlight turns on track and baseball. It has been rumored that Nevada City will have spring football practice. SENIOR PICTURES ; The Senior pictures taken by Maurice of Grass Valley turned out very good (considering the material he had to work with), and the group pietures were equally good. Maurice has been very conscientious with the work that he has done, aiming to Please. He plans to offer group Pictures in a fine quality frame at 50 cents apiece. Without the frame students might buy them Mor 35 cents. These group pictures about 10 by 8. Most of the students should get at least one of these large group pictures.

At most any corner grocery’ the following conversation may be heard: Customer: ‘How much is a pint today?’’ Grocer: ‘‘Six cents.” Customer: “And how muchi is a quart?’’ Grocer: ‘‘Two cents.” Customer: ‘Oh, I---see; three quarts equal one pint.” The explanation lies in the claim that, because of the small demand for the pint-size bottle, it’s cheaper to handle the larger containers durtributors. Herman Budelman, superintendent of the West End Mining property, formerly the Borax Smith holdings, was a Nevada City visitor last week end, stopping over to visit Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Schiffner. He was on his way to Nevada. Mr. Gegan, field man of the Hercules Powder Company, made this section a visit coming up from the bay district. ; anes Of the Purple and the Gold.
