Duval Moss,
Editor-in-chief.
During the past two years of my .high school
life'! have been sincerely interested in the work of
the year books, principally, because of the small
part I .have taken in their publications and b(;-
cause of the educational and material value whieh
they afford.
Though, retarded and handicapped by un-
forseen this annual has no.t
suffered undue delay or inefficient cooperation
from its staff; on the contrary, it has united the
workers in a cooperative effort to make this
annual a more finished result.
The successful outcome of this book we owe
to Miss Evelyn Maestri's untiring efforts as
sponsor; to Robert Rovzar as its trustworthy
Business lVIanager; to Jose de la Torre, the "go;
getting" Advertising Manager; to Marion Holstein's splendid workmanship as Art Editor; to
Robert La Montagne who showed an excellent "business like" way as Photografic Editor; to Miss
Christine Ellis, and to all not mentioned we also owe deep appreciation for the:r work. Mr. Cain,
above all, deserves many thanks for ably us in all departments, and especially as our
financial backer.
Again we wis.h to thank all the advertisers that made this book possible.

Billie McKendree, from the Senior Class of '35.
Oh lovely lily, sweet, serene,
Your velvet petals in the sunlight gleam
With iridescent light,
A budding flower supreme!
And all the world. adoring at your feet
Beholds that upturned face so meek
Vibr1ating to Life's pulsing beat.
HThose whom the gods love best
Die young", was said of yore;
And so, the one who loved her more
Unearthed the swaying lily's stem,
Placing her far beyon.d the crue'l reach of men,
idle finigers would have crushed her leaves
And then jest of their foul deeds.
T He again
Transplanted her to fertile soil,
Where she might blossom forth 1n beauteous joy
Among Elysian fields.

What a cute article.
The Senior Class of 1935 looks back with mingled joy and regret over the good times had
since entering the Am.erican School Foundation.
Many of us have been together t.hrough the years, until finally together, we have reached
the Senior Year; and now that the moment has come when we receive the diploma, a sign of
being graduated into the world, we look backwards and wish we could live over again those happy
years.
Although there is joy in knowing that one has finished High School, many are the
hardships which we will face when we go out into the world, and many the friends whom we
will never see again.
Teachers, have helped us to learn-when learning wa$ an impossibility-teachers,
who have shared our fun, these, too, we shall leave. Although on the outside we may have
laughed at the _school, inside, we feel saa to leave it; and we shall cherish the happy moments
spent in it.
To our President, Duval Moss, we extend our thanks and most sinceTe wishes for having
helped us in the Senior Year.
To our Sponsor, lVIiss Cole, we extend the love and gratitude which we feel towards on!
who has done so much for us.
Laura Constantine.
You Settiors!
Your air of studious repose,
Your withering glances, turned-up nose,
That silly importance of one who "Knows".
You Seniors!
Your cleverness is just a mask,
The Freshmen's brains you only ask.
To trip you up is this school's task.
You Seniors!
You call the Sophomores not so swell.
You once were Sophs yourselves. Oh well.
Uh! Huh! You Seniors go to ........ !
You Seniors!
You nutty Seniors, listen here:
You'll graduate, your end draws near,
And we Juniors will be you next year.
You Seniors!
You think you are supreme, unique.
Ha! Ha! And we are all the meek.
Just wait. We'll make you high-hats squeak.
You Seniors!

'Ehis year the Junior Class is composed of thirty one members having for President, Julius
Hirschfield; Vice President, Alice La lVIontagne; Secretary, LaMont; Treasurer, Caroline
Garnett.
Our Parties this year have attained great success due to the devoted work which our of-
ficers offered to accomplish what seems impossible to other classes. The first, held at the Miller.'s
home in San Angel, was a a Winnie Roast which was successful in every respect. Our second
social activity was celebrated at Christmas. All other classes held their respective parties, also.
Several football players this season included Juniors, who made a high standing on the field,
such as (full back), David Kalb (center), Rene Fernandez (end), Martin Diaz
Garay (half back), and Carlos Mercado (tackle). These san1e players were also outstanding in
basketball.
The chief event of the year for the class, was the banquet given to the Seniors and which,
by their own opinion was the best they had ever attended.
Some of the class members who have distinguished themselves are: Alice La Montagne,
who was elected the School's Best All-Around girl, and Alfred LaMont winner of the Alpha Eta
Sigma Pong Tournament.

This class has always been very active in school life. lVIany of its men1bers have been in
the class since first, second or third grade. Our class contributed more men1bers than any other
to the orchestra. Though we have only given one party it was a n1emorable one, being the first

we did not get much done. We have our meetings once a month. They are conducted by our pres-

Savage. Mr. Angeles and Miss Brown sponsor the meetings. Our dues are fifty cents a month. We
have decided to have class rings. Our class is very large and is composed of many nationalities.
Our party which was held on December 21, 1934, was a great success. There were three
committees appointed to take charge: the Food, Decoration, and Entertainment committees. The
food especially was delicious. The room was decorated very nicely with red and green paper. There
were presents for all. We had two pinatas of different shapes, which everybody enjoyed breaking.
Around the room peanuts were scattered. Without the help of Mr. Angeles and Miss Brown we
couldn't have had it.

has mastered a sufficient knowledge of English, he is transferred to the grade _in which he sbould be.
No text books are used by the gToup. A conversational method is used instead. to give the pupil a useful
v-ocabulary . . As soon as possible he . is taught to read and write in English. pronunciation is stressed, and
daily oral drills are given to attain perfection. When the pupil has acquired the necessary vocabulary, he is en-
couraged to exercise it by oral reports, discussions of personal experiences, and dramatization. .

A. H. S. VS. HIPODROMO
This was the first game of the season, it
took place at "El Rayo" on October 6, 1934 bet.,
ween the A. H. S. and the Hipodromo which later
won the segunda fuerza championship.
the :first ha'If the Hipodromo rushed the
A. H. S. off its feet, but failed to score.
In the second period the red shirt boys from
. the Hipodromo crossed the A. H. S. goal line on
a fake reverse pass, Chato carrying the ball. They tried through the line for the extra point but
the A. H. S. boys held them back.
Joe de la Torre kicked well for the A. H. S. and La Montagne's work was very
commendable.
Although the A. H. S. threatened the Hipodromo goal they seemed to lack the drive to
score.
The game ended in favor of the Hipodrcmo.
A. H. S. 0 ........ Hipodromo 6.
A. H. S. VS. I. T. I.
Th1s was the second game of the year;
although we won the game we knew that our line
was not at its bes.t. It was a -game marred by
fumbles by both sides. Twice one of I. T.
I.'s runners got in the open only to be tackled by
Charlie and LaMontagne.
. La Montagne, De la Torre and Charlie alter-
nated carrying the ball, La Montagne plunging
over from the 5 yard-line.
I. T. I. never penetrated beyond our 30 yard-line; they seemed to be nervous and could
not get set. Here the game ended.

(1) HACIENDA VS. A. H. S.
,_
During the first quarter the American School
scored. a touchdown. Ralo took the ball on a wide
end run, side-stepping the fullback and straight-
arming the safety man, he continued up the side
line to the goal.
In the second quar ter, Charlie was rushed
while passing, but got the ball away to Ralo w1ho
leaped high in the air to snag it for a big gain,
Joe de la Tnrre ran around the right end for the touch down.
The rest of the game resulted in a punting duel between Hacienda's fullback and Joe, with
Joe having the edge.
A. H. S. 7 ........... Hacienda 0.
(11) HACIENDA Vs. A. H. S.
The first quarter of the ga1ne was defensive
for the A. H. S. A1nerican Schoors offence did
not seem to be clicking, due to the over eagerness
of the players.
In the s:econd quarter the iine started open-
ing holes for the backs, which took advantage
of the breaks and soon scored on a short buck
by Bob.
Hacienda's line stiffened and the try for extra point failed.
At this point Coach Zorrilla of the A. H .. S. put in the second team, which held the Hacien-
da Club scoreless; thereby giving a good account of themselves. The game ended with the score
still 6 to 0 in favor of the A. H. S.

(III) HACIENDA VS. A. H. S.
Although Hacienda was the underdog, due
to the two previous setbacks, it had not quit
fighting.
On the second play of the game Hacienda's
fullback went off tackle f or 35 yards and a
touchdown.
The A. H. S. tean1, equally able to fight,
pushed over two touchdowns and an extra point to off-set Hacienda' s first score. The first
touchdown was made through the air; De la Torre faded back and threw a wobbly pass to Ralo
who m.ade a beautiful catch and side-stepped his way to a touchdown. The second one was made
through the line.
L. G. Galindo, R. Menendez, and C. Mercado turned in a great game in the line. The Amer-
ican School Backfield played with ren1arkable precision.
A. H. S. 13 ............ Hacienda 6.
(1) A. H. S. VS. ALUMNI
A. H. S. kicked off to t he Alumni who took
t he ball on their 10 yard line and were unable to
advance due to l\1ercado's, Covarrubias, and Rene
Fernandez's: brilliant defensive work.
Lolo dropped back to punt, and as his foot
touched the ball, Mercado crashed through to
block it. La Montagne swooped on it for a
touchdown.
The Alumni came back with a sensational sleeper pass play from Lolo to Fernandez, which
paved the way for their touchdown and the extra point and thus won the game for the more
experienced Alumni team.
The An1erican School threatened the Alumni's goal line repeatedly only to be thrown back
by an inspired team, which fought to protect its hard earned lead. Here the game ended.
A. H. S. 6 ........... l u m n i 7.

ALUMNI VS. A. H. S.
This game was played at the Parque Espafia,
being the most important and last game of the=
season.
In the first quarter, after having the ball
around midfield, Lolo dropped back and threw a
long pass over our safety man's head for a touch-
down, and skirted' the end for the extra point.
Alumni kicked off to the American School;
Charlie took the ball on his 10 yard line, and, behind beautiful blocking by La Montagne, raced
up the sidelines to the Alumni's 40 yard line. From here Bob took the ball to their 20 yard line
where Charie, with a beautiful exhibition of broken field running, ran around left for a touchdown.
We failed to convert.
In the third quarter Charlie threw a 30 yad pass to Moss, who made a beautiful catch for
a touchde>wn, although surrounded by three men. Charlie made the .extra point.
Late in the fourth quarter, after being held to a standstill by the great playing of our
line, Lolo faded back and tossed another long one to Albert for another Alumni touchdown. Chema
dropped the pass for the extra point which tied the score 13-13.
SEVENTH HEAVEN
This was a burlesque put on by the students of lhe Senior Class of '35.
The story goes that they are in the Seventh Heaven having a good time drinking and
gambling. When all of a sudden a teacher knocks at the gate and the students tell her that she
is not wanted.
-Out of a burlesque dedicated to the perchances of gridiron stars and zero artists (page A.
H. S. faculty) grew the plot of "Seventh Heaven", a musical burlesque staged by the football
team and ably directed by Miss Cole and the creator, Mr. Carvallo.

On January 30, of the present year the girls' basketball games were started with A. H.
S. against Buen Tono.
The second team started the game and played for a quarter. This team was not hard enough
for Buen Tono and it was agreed by the captain to start a new game with the first team, compos-
ed of: Louise "Tiny" Dominguez, Ruth Kneeland, Catherine Filsinger, Wallace, Tatiana
Blago, Skidmore, Regina Nussbaum, and Helen Arnold.
E.xcitement persisted specially at the end when the score was 11-11. At this moment we
were informed that there was one minute more to play. Buen Tono was near its basket; our
team fought with enthusiasm, but an adversary of ours was free and as soon as the ball separated
from her hands towards the basket the whistle was blown. The basket counted. We lost 13-11.
A. H. S. VS. BUEN TONO
The A. H. S. under the able leadership of Tiny Dominguez did some beautiful playing.
Louise played a wonderful game and with the aid of the rest of the girls swept the Buen Tono
off their feet. The game ended 18-0 in favor of the American School.

On the morning of December 3, 1934, the Senior's Baseball team played against the Ninth
Grade.
This was a bitterly fought game, but due to the fact that the Seniors had not had one
practice, and the little Ninth Grade team had practices every afte.rnoon, the upper classmen lost
by the score of 10 to 5.

COPYING
There are many ways of copying. In fact, they are so numerous as to be countless. There
is the proved method of writing valuable inforn1ation on a sma]l slip of paper, on the cover of
a pad,
0
.r one's desk or hand to enlighten the bewildered mind during a test. If the textbook is
allowed on the desk, it is concealed behind the back of the person in front, and lifted to the
proper place while a watchful eye is kept on the teacher. A friend across the aisle may be nudged
and asked inforn1ation by n1eans of sign language. Hon1e work may be copied from another
pupil's paper, and handed in with a wise expression which dispels suspicion.
However, the supreme masterpiece of the copier's art, the whitebearded great-grandfather
of all copying, is the trick of looking over the shoulder of the person in front of you. It is
simplicity itself. A little craning of the neck, a little popping of the eyes, and it is accomplished.
If the teacher looks surprised, raise . the arms and stretch heartily, settling back with an air of
innocence.
There are usually two classes of .copiers: 1. The person who knows a little, and, 2. The
person who knows nothing.
The person who knows a little will generally bring not'8 with him to class, but if the test
is .unexpected, or the notes fail to cover an important point, the fellow in front or a friend must
be relied upon. However, as the person knows a little, he has his own ideas on the subject, and
will compare these with other opinions. Then comes the quandary: Which answer is right? The
recognized proceeding in this case is to give the matter two minutes thought, just for luck, and
then start: "Eenie, meenie, minie, moe". The answer on which the last "Moe" falls is supposed to
be right, but do not write it down under any circum.stances. Choose the other one, and experi-
ence the sensation of having cheated fate.
The person who knows nothing is to be envied. His only care is to select a seat behind one
of the class's more intelligent pupils, and await results. Mentally tilting his chair back, and men-
tally putting his feet on the desk, he contemplates the patient toiler in front of him with satis-
faction, and thinks pleasant thoughts. At length, perceiving that the hurrying hand on the next
desk has st opped at the end of a question, he leisurely arches his neck, raises his eyebrows, and
sinks back, transferring the answer to his own paper. Then he resumes his mental position and
watches for the next call to action. John Mohme

PRESENT DAY ADVERTISING l\'IETHODS ARE DETRilViENTAL TO THE, AMERICAN PUBLIC
All good and effectual advertising is based on one main point, superstition. The fact that
the average citizen is gullible enough to accept, whether doubtfully or not, the tenets of the ad-
vertisers, shows how low our standard of reasoning is. If we are so dull that we cannot analyze
the advertisements that we constantly see, we should not call ourselves a truly cultured people.
Many people on their deathbeds become Christians so as to be on the safe side when they pass
into the great unknown. In the same way, because of the desire to be on the safe side, many people
use Life Buoy soap before going to a dance. Thus, if an advertiser can make it appear to a. person
that this individual will be on the safe side by using his product, he has gained another faithful
purchaser of hi s manufacture. more the superstition of a ,people is played upon, the harder-
it is for them to think for themselves, they will lose culturally, while the advertiser will gain
materially.
HONORABLE MENTION
THE VIEW FROM MY WINDOW
George Ka.hin
The view from my window affords an excellent vista of an empty lot with a
peru tree in it. The neighbor's back porch is also visible and a solitary canary cage on the railing ..
The canary twitters and trills between intermittent visits of a be-spectacled fat man who chirps.
and whistles in an effort for more song.
If he catches sight of my shaking head behind the curtains he ducks into the study and
remains hidden in a silent orgy of self-abuse. Pretty soon, his wife pokes her head out of an
upstairs window and yells in a nasal voice: "Ma-ria" ! Maria answers from the kitchen and is
rewarded with a cascade of mandados: to go see if the gate is closed; to tell the lechero to come
earlier tomorrow; has she gotten the tortillas yet; to make sop a de fideo today; and don't pay
the butcher's bill if she can help it, etc., etc. The peru tree in the lot shakes with gullible laughter.
hops and whistles a bit for the canary's example and slan1s the screen door behind her.
All is silent for a short while.
By now hubby has gotten over his embarrassment and shuffles down the outside stairs to
the kitchen. His gruff voice can be heard demanding what there is to be for dinner. Evidently
completely dissatisfied with the he trundles to the radio in the dining room. The "Carioca",
. played by a cheap string orchestra, grates into the tepid, morning air. Another twirl of the dials
and the more temperate "BLue Danube Waltz" is With several more grunts and sighs,
maybe over his youthful days, but more likely over the memory of his breakfast the master
hies himself to an easy chair in the sun to steep until noon. Maria sings "Las Gaviotas" in the
kitchen regardless of radio. The canary bursts into radiant song and all is peacefully blended into
a harmony of discord: snores, radio, and "Gaviotas".

I was worried by only one thing; that was would the elephant be able to stand the cold? This
question was solved, however, when I invented a special coat which worked on the principle <-
the thermos bottle. .
After making all preparations for the trip to the Pole I finally left a place called Nyebe
Land in Northern Greenland for the final dash. Just before leaving I filled the thermos . coat
which I ha.d put around my elephant, full of boiling water. This, I was sure, would keep my
elephant warm all the time. He was pulling a sled about five feet long and two feet wide. On this
our provisions were packed. The elephant's food consisted of hay pills which had been compresed
under thousands of pounds of pressure and were therefore greatly reduced in size. One pill was
.enough to feed the elephant for a day and they contained the neces'sary vitamins for keeping
.elephants. healthy. lVIy food also consisted of concentrated food pills.
. Among my equipment I had snow shoes for myself and also a pair for my elephant, which
would probably need them when we had to walk through deep snow. Every night as I camped
I built a small fire under the dodphant so as to keep the water in the thermos co-at at near to the
boiling point as possible. Wild animals, such as polar bears, did not bother me, as they fled in
terror when they saw the elephant cominng.
One day, as we were nearing the Pole, I saw, to my horror that the thermos coat of the
.elephant had sprung a sm.all leak. I was able to patch it, however, with a piece of my chewing
gum, before much water had escaped. .
Two m:onths after leaving Nyebe Land I found the exact point of the North Pole. I recogni-
zed the place immediately, because I saw the little pyramid of snow with the American Flag on
top of it, just as Peary had left it in 1909, when he discovered the North Pole. All that day and
night I slept in order to gain strength to make an attempt to establish my record.
Next day I started walking around the pyramid built by Peary. All went well until I had
reached the six hundred ninety third turn when r fainted of exhaustion. I came to again when
my faithful elephant started spraying ice water over my face with his trunk. I decided that I
could not establish this record unless I first had plenty of rest. After forty eight hours of sleep I
started once more. This time all went well until I had reached the five hundred fifty sixth turn,
when my elephant, strange enough, refused to go any further. However, I convinced him to go
on by using a sharp pin.
Three months after establishing this wonderful record I reached my native land .... A
HERO. My faithful friend, the ele,phant, which had s:hared all the dangers of my trip, has now a
permanent place in . one of the largest zoological gardens in the world and will not eat anything
but compressed hay pills which he had learned i o love so well on this never forgotten trip to the
North Pole.

Short Story - Second Prize
THE LIGH'TNING CAME
The ominous roar of the thunder and the ever increasing nmnber of flashes told the awe . .
stricken little group of farmers, gathered around the fire-place, that one of the dreaded June
storms was approaching. The frown on old Mason's brow kept getting deeper and deepe't' as each
successive flash illuminated the room. The story telling had ceased, while frightened faces looked
at each other with uncertain glances. A roar of thunder that echoed and reechoed against the'
high cLiffs outside made a little child scream and .hide behind its startled mother.
No one thought of replenishing the fire which was now only a few red coals. The awe ins
piring spectacle of seeing inky darkness and hearing the low moaning of the wind, and then having
this all abruptly interrupted by a rolling roar and a blinding flash, had completely hypnotized the
people with fear. Finally there was another roar, a flash, and then a terrific crash as a huge fir
was split open by a yellow shaft of destruction. This last occurence served to swaken the whok
group from their trance.
MaBon then said in a jerked voice, "All obi's last occurrence served to swaken the whole
me to the old lightning rock; lightning never strfkes the same place twice." The nervous
readily assented. Mason opened the door and they entered a world of wind and cold. Lighted only
by an occasional flash of lightning, they made blackened rock. Upon reaching this haven,
they al.l gave a sigh of relief and smiled again. Another flash of lightning-then anotheT and the
charred rock was bare.

WHILE NO ONE WATCHED ..
The men crept silently through the dark, their stomachs ii1to the stinking 1nud.
huge shell-ridden p1ai:Q m.ust be crossed before safety could be reached. Every man, in his heart,
waited in agonized expectation for the strange wail and sudden flare that w'Ould mean his do01m.
A half hour before, word had come that the barrack was to be bombed. The men had said
little but started out into the night, sometimes running stooped, sometimes creeping against the
earth like ants, each grimly intent upon his own salvation.
Lydick had grabbed his wounded brother, pushed him over the top; and half led, half
dragged him after the others. But they soon fell far behind. The brother wsa becoming delirious,.
and talked to himse.Jf like an imbecile, till, with all Lydick's gigantic efforts, they barely craw'led
along. Suddenly he flopped down and lay on his back, raving, and laughing at Lydick, who, white:
and tense, tried to pull him back onto his feet. The wounded man could not .be budged, and the
precious minut'3 slipped by, while Lydick wildly pleaded with him. Then, insanely, Lydick grab-
bed his gun and aimed it straight into his brother's grinning face. He heard the report and
saw that his brother lay still. He dropped the gun and ran on in the direction the others h,ad
taken.
Hours later he reached a little village where he was taken into the Hed Cross kitchen and
given soup .and brandy. He stared around as if he saw the place in a dream, then slowly the faces
and the fire and the hot soup became real, and what had happened outside was nightmare that
faded away, that no one would ever know of, that he was fast forgetting. He drank the ' soup and
ate some bread, then lay down under warm blankets and went to sleep.

STRENGTH
Silent and obdurate,
The devil grass holds to the soil-
Nor wind nor water
Affects its still toil.
Today a hoe will cut it down
But to-morrow the roots will burst again,
And green shoots stretch up to the sky
In scorn of hoes and men!

Aspiration,
Wings late-tried, new,
Has launched itself
Misgivings few.
Upward! Upward!
Challenge the blue.
Some night soon when I'm all alone
And there's no one near to see,
Away I'll fly to the great unknown
And have me a glorious spree!
A fladng comet shall aid my flight
We'll whiz high over the moon,

I'll shout and as we whirl through the night
To a wild, barbaric tune.
There is a wish for everyone,
Some aspiration cherished close;
For which we hope and plan and dream,
Whose furthering delights us n1ost.
And so this mark we've set ourselves,
Although it be the loftiest;
Let's fix our eye upon it, so!
And be content with nothing less.

A tiny star shall adorn my hair
One plucked from the Milky Way.
I'll go on dancing madly there
Until the first faint signs of day.

And hope the dawn won't come too soon,
When done I'll jump with a shout of glee
And cool my hot feet on the moon!

The Alpha E-ta Sigma is about the first fraternity in Mexico that is not merely a whoopee
club. The membership is limited to fifteen and the 1nembers are elected only after they
unanim.ously. The regulations and laws must be followed strictly or else dismissal is applied. The
officers for the present year are: President, Luis Garza-Galindo; Secretary, Robert La Mon-
tagne; Scribe, Robet Rovzar; Treasurer and Athletic chairman, Jose Covarrubias; Social Chairman,
Duval Moss. Dues are paid monthly and the money is used for the celebration of tournaments,
as ping pong, hadmington, billiards, fronton, fencing, wrestling, and boxing. This year the frater ..
nity was well represented in the \iVho's Who, football; -and other school .- activities.
The fraternity is well known in school on account of its dances, which are held regularly,
and picnics whi.ch are attended by guests who enjoy enough to virant to attend the rest
of them.
Our thanks are due to Mr. Guzn1fm who ably .assists us when assistance is needed either in or

Developing a brilliant idea of Bob Rovzar's the Five Ace Club was established in January
1935. As the name indicates there are only five members which correspond to the five principal
-cards in the game of poker. These cards are the joker and the four aces.
It was decided for each member to change his name, Valentine Dominguez was the joker,
Pepa Rovzar the ace, of spades, Virginia Covarrubias the ace of hearts, Maggie La Montagne the
ace of diamonds, and Bernice Garza-Galindo the ace of clubs.
All our activities were based upon our theory, which w1'll 1'11 our minds as long as
we can remember the good old school days. Our theory is : amuse yourself all you can and dori't
let worries predominate in your heart; joy is life. This is the optimistic Five Ace Club.

With two years experience on our hands all the membeTs of this club should cons:War

member's house and proceeded to cook delicacies fit for a king's banquet. The savory odors that
emote from the kitchen the d,ay the club has its 1neetings should be enough proof of this faet.
All twelve members of this club h_ave been hostesses for many social aff.airs, such as teas
and supper s. Our most brillant social affair however, a progressive supper consisting of six
courses. It started at Loliise Dominguez' house with a cocktail and ended at Irene Blago's with
coffee, nuts, and candy ; after which there were a f ew hours of dancing. All of the courses were
exquisitely served at the hon1es of various n1embers with much clashing about in between courses.
The entire supper was prepared by the members and a wonderful time was had by all.
Our president, Mary Sloan, is the director and best cook of the lot; under her expert
dir ection we not only have made a success of our club but are now experts in this rare art.

The aims of the hiking club are primarily to get out in the open and improve health, but
these are not all. 'vV e are also interested in wild flowers and other objects of scientific interest-
such as geological formations, etc.
Space does not perrnit a write-up of all the hikes we have taken, but we are including
the report of our first hike, as follows.
The hiking club's first hike was to Dos Rios. Early on a Sunday morning, fourteen of us
met at lVIiss Cole's house. As soon as all were ready, we started to walk to the station. Whe'Il we
were about half-way there, we decided we were late, so into a bus we climbed. Finally we arrived
and were soon on the train. After a long ride we got to Dos Rios, and removed our boisterous
presences from the train.
Our destination was a little church up on top of a hill, and towards it we hiked and hiked
and hiked. At last we got there, tired and thirsty. Water w.as obtained at about five cents a glass,
so no one went thirsty. On the way back, one of the hikers came down the hill in a sitting position
so that she lost about ten ponds. In spite of our speed, it was growing late. We ran the rest
of the way, and arrived in time to learn that the train would not arrive for half an hour.
At last the train arrived, a'nd we boarded it . Nothing n1omentuous happened on the trip
home, and all arrived safely, tired but happy, after a very fine hike.

groups would give programs. The second meeting of the Club was concerned only about business
matters such as Club pins, when different programs would be etc. At the third n1eeting, the
Debating Club submitted the question as to whether capital punishment should exist or not. Mr.

Under the direction of Mrs. Alice H. Wallace the Juniors' Creative Theatre was organized
in September 1934 and sponsored by the Amilrican School. The membership consists of children
from gramm.ar sohool age through high school, and is made up of students from many foreign
schools in the city. The object of this club is to aid in the development of cre.ative ability among
its members, and at the same time to afford them an intere-sting as well as instructive occupation.
The club has had two productions in which not only the actors participated but the posters,
publicity, designing and making of costumes, lighting effects, and the manny other jobs that are
included in dramatic art were done by the members. The first play to be put on was "The Knave
of Hearts", a delightful comedy revealing the truth of the nursery rhyme of the same. nam.'e.
Cornelius De Kanter, John Taylor, Hubert De Kanter, Maurice Gerdes, E.thel Savage, . Marjorie
Wilson played the leading roles. The next performance was given in December. Two plays, "Brea-
kfast", and "The Flattering Word", in which Kay Miller, Kathryn Skidmore, Hope Berdichevsky,
Robert Rovzar, and Jack Codie took part in the first; Maurice Gerdes, Betty McKean, Caroline
Garnett, Tatiana Blago, and Robert Mead played in the second. The Theatre hopes to be able to
present one performance per month for the remainder of the season. Future plays being considered
for production are "Seventeen", "If I Were You", by P. G. Wodehouse, and a melodrama written
by one of the members. The Juniors' Creative 'llhe.atre has become a valuable addition to the .curri-
culum,, for it has given the students an opportunity to become acquainted with the various phases
of dramatic art.

With the able help of lVIi ss Evelyn Maestri the Art Club is now in its second year of exis-
t ence. I don't think that it would be considered boastful to say that this organization has helped
many social affairs in their advertising campaign.
Since posters are very much in demand for various affairs we devote most of our weekly
meetings to making them. They are designed to advertise plays to be held in s.chool or elsewhere,
to let students and other people know of coming athletic events, contests, dances or other social
affairs. Whenever our time is not taken up in making these posters we do son1e sketching from
life models.
A large number of posters are made to advertise plays. At present all the m:embers are
hard at wort in posters for the coming play, "Peter Pan". There will be an attractive p r i z ~ foT
the best one, and although many other English speaking schools are entering it, we have h,igh
hopes of getting the first prize.
There are ten members this year, and they .are all talented, hardworking boys and girls,
some of whom will make art their life's career [ nd have great hopes of making a success in their
chosen field.
The Art Editor and assistants of the "Anahuac" 1935 are all members of this club.

Our fifth grade class is one of the happie3t in school because we are sponso-red by one of
the m.ost popular teachers, Mrs. Edna Clifton. Tt e subjects studied in this grade are especially
interesting. The history and geography of North America are st11died both in Spanish and English.
In connection with this work we keep up with current events by posting on the board pictures
and articles of what is going on in the world. .
Special attention is given in our class to oral and written English. Good . English must
be used in all the written work that we do in class.class.
The outstand-ing pupils of _ the fifth grade last semester were: Carmen Oyamburu, Jane

- . -_ In the third grade great attention is given to the fundamental particularly read-
ing. The child's natural love of reading is developed by having a class Here they have
m.any different kinds of books which they may read at school or at hom.e. The teach& keeps a
reco[Ld of the books read by each class. . . .
Correct reading habits are engendered at this tim.e. N.ot IS the taught how. to
read to the advantages, but he is taught the mechani-cs of silent reading as well. By using
work books, the children learn to get the main idea of the paragraph.
Many stories have been read by this time. Some have read so often. that are
known by memory. One of the favorite pastimes of the children IS the story telhng hour, when
they can tell a story to their .classmates. . . . .
Social Studies, Spanish, Arithmetic, Writing, Spelln:g, and Physical . .are als? part
of the program. Interesting projects in Mexican History and Geography are studied In Spanish.

By the time they have reached the second grade, elementary school children have develop-
ed difinite interests in the problems of every day life. They have also become interested not
only in the people of their own country, but in those of other lands as well. Primitive people are
particularly interesting to them. North American Indian life is one of the topics which they study
in this grade to satisfy their curiosity about their own continent.
Under the able guidance of their teachers, this unit is broadened to include a study of
home life, transportation, food, and other subjects of social interest. Many other topics are
studied during the school year which develop the child's interest in what is going on aro:und him.
The, tool subjects are closely correlated with the social studies.. In this way each class
activity forms part of one connected unit.
Dramatization is one of the most interesting activities of second grade classes. This year
th'y have given class plays for their own enjoyment about the people they have been studying.
This work not only provides the child with life-like situations which give a clearer understanding
of the work in hand, but it also develops the natural dramatic talent of the child.

'Tiny tots, not yet old enough to write t-heir own story of their exciting days at schoo-l, are
to be found in the kindergarten. They spend these days working happily with clay, crayolas,
scissors, and other materials. They make many things of w.hich they are justly proud.
The aim of all their activities is to create an interest in the various phases of every day
life. These activities also aim to the acquisition of a knowledge of people of other lands.
Perhaps the most important accomplishment of the kindergarten is that it begins t-he
development of such attitudes as coopenition and courtesy. Children learn to work and play toge-
ther. They learn to respect each other's property. By working under the guidance of their tea-
cher, they acquire habits. of obedience which are to help them throughout their school life. Fin-
ally, the kindergarten sends the child home with a feeling of having accomplished something, a
feeling of pride in his own work, and a desire to improve this work.

THE ETERNAL FIJAME
Out of the frenzy that was revolution, standing in bold relief against an azure canvass, rises.
a white column symbolizing Liberty, beneath which there burns the eternal flame of Freedom.
Freedon1 is universal, and persons of all _nationalities must keep watch daily over the
sacred flame that inmortalizes the apostles of the Mexican Independence, and w,hich must never
be allowed to extinguish.
Our own American School rendered homage to the burning flame-the Torch of Freedom-
and stood beneath its Ught for half an hour with the respect due the Eternal Flame and what it
means to Mexico.
Those who kept watch were: Harold Harrell, Betsy McDonald, lone M. Kidder, Mildred.
M. Hunt, Amalia Guzman, and Harold Kidder, on August 7, 1934.

GIRLS' SPORTS
Although all the sports are enjoyed in the girls' physical education <;lasses,. baseball is the
most popular. Each class has a baseball" team made up of the best players. Interclass games are
played by the girls each week. Sometimes the girls play against the boys in exciting .and bitterly
contested games.
Basketball has also proved an interesting game this year. It is especially popular among the
sixth grade girls who have organized a basketball club caUed "The Animal Club". Each girl is
nicknamed after some famous animal such as Mickey l\1ouse, .Minnie lVIouse, and Pluto.
All of the time is not spent on athletics. Our teacher, Miss Stella Bell, is ,also interested
in helping us to correct bad posture habits and in making us graceful. During the year we learn
many dances. This year, under lVIiss Bell's guidance, we danced in the December Assem;bly pro-
gram. Among the dances given were an Arabian dance by Edith Dominguez and Patricia Turner;
a toe dance by Anna Thacker; a Grecian dance by Miriam Gotts.man, Martha Jean Day, Graciela
Lopez, and Guillermina Fojo; an acrobatic dance by Barbara Turner, Helen Kes1sel and Sylvi.a
.Stockdale; and a colonial dance by Lucille Dominguez, Betty Mohler and Eva Wishnack.

BOYS' SPORTS
Under the able leadership of Mr. Enrique Guzman, the elementary school boys have been
.enjoying a variety of outdoor sports. To add to the natural interest of the boys in the games,
there .has been a series of interclass contests. A few games have been held against teams from
.other schools.
Soccer seem to be the most popular sport among the boys; although they also play rugby,
football, basketball, and baseball. The present sixth grade has held the soccer championship for
two years. Juan Rivero, Mario Sanchez, Marcial Llano, Hugo Pefia. Joaquin Ruiz Godoy, and
Albert Fernandez are outstanding players on the soccer team. Juan Rivero is the best individual
player.
The fifth grade team is a strong contender for the title this year. Edwin Simpson, Fran-
cisco Belmar, Fernando Diaz Lombardo, Eduardo Godoy, and Bobby Mohler are the best players
on this team.

WHY YOU SHOULD A SINfiER
SINGER superiority begins with
the raw material, cOintroHed at
every stage of manufacture to
conform with the highest stan-
dards of quality. The cabinet work
is made from timber cut in Singer
forests and brought to finished
form in specialized Singer wood-
working factories, the largest in
the world. Each metal part is
made from n1aterial especially
adapted for its particular purpose
and shaped by skilled mechanics,
with the aid of machinery and
tools of . wonderful precision, to
designs developed by Singer experts for the greatest efficiency during long years of
usefulness. The completed machine is subjected. to many exacting tests and is guaran-

is a liquid heirloom and the glory of vanished years
relives within each upturned glass, whether it be a highball, a cocktail or
"straight". For years it is aged in the ancient silence of old oak kegs,-the
rare Sherry and Muscatel vVines of Old Spain,' blended with pure Sugar-
Cane Juice ... . ... , each drop mellowed to silken perfection. And truly,
the BERRETEAGA label is the noblest pedigree that any Mexican Haba-
nero can bear.

DEAREST LAURA:
Well, the olp apartment has been rather
since you've been aw:ay; however, I hope
you'rE:.l enjoying "El Oro" and that you're
sq.cceeding -in .your mi ssion. How's Arthur
an:y way?- or you heard from. him
yet ?. I hope, for' y{)ur sake, you get your man,
but if you do, I refuse to keep Graselda and
Tol;:>y any longer. They have caused me enough
trquble

alrea.dy! !
lVIy dear, . I was in the good old A. H. S'.
the other day. They were having Alumni night
or -something; do you remember anything like
that? I don't. I walked into assembly and there
we:t
1
e' .the sam.e old chairs and the walls 'n
I down in the first row and who
shoq.ld walk in but Cova and Tita! Cova wore
s'pectacles- imagine! He is now
a politician and Tita says they have an adora-
. ble_ .apartment in . the Con des a. Among the old
students there were two celebrities-Mary
Sloan, who is the first mayor of her horne town
and "Bob" Rovzar a big shot on Wall Street.
We were all talking over old times when
Cornelius De Kanter drove up in his limousine
\vlt h three chauffeurs. Don't you know, we
alwa:ys said the Cor would make a hit in Holly-
wood as a comedian? Cor informed us that he
has seen CharliE, Dominguez and that he was
sti i_l t r aveling around (trying to decide whom
fo marry.)
We were about to go down -to Zan dam for
an ice-crean1, when who should arrive but
Du'/ ie with a full grown mustache and hi s two
stalwart sons . whon he had just entered at
Jefferson and Texas U.
I really enjoyed being with "kids" again
and Cor kindly drove me back home that night.
Well, I have even more news. I was down to
today and r an into Bob and Doris. They've
been abroad and are now. on their way to Cuba
for a rest. And that isn't all, this morning I
.saw John Mohme's picture in the paper; he
is a radio announcer now.
Now please, Laura, don't do anything
rash]- remember what I told you and for
heaven's sake tell Arthur to hurry up. Then
\Vrite me so I can get rid of and

A MODERN VERSION OF "IF"
If you can flirt with every girl you see,
Or pick up any jane upon the street,
Or keep your collar spotless, white, and neat;
If you can feel at hom.e most anywhere,
And stay out 'till all hours of the night;
If through contortions you can go,
That people sometim,es label dance ;
If nothing of world topics you do know,
Save petting parties, jazz, and games of chance,
If you can wear a suit that's loose and wide
And wear your hat as does the Prince of Wales,
Or wear such trousers that your shoes they hide,
Or bow ties with the hues of nightingales;
If you can boast, and brag, and also sm:oke,
And walk around, holding all else in scorn;
Tf you think you;re good, but really are a joke,
And actually in your splendor are forlorn;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of nothing done

Yours is a hollow life, and all that's in it,
And what's more, you'll be a sheik, my son.

TITA IN vVONDERLAND
Tita was very tired of sitting in English class. She grew very sleepy when suddenly a
white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her. 'Tihe rabbit said to itself, while pulling out a
watch from his waistcoat, "Oh, dear! Oh, dear! I shall be late".
Tita started to her feet and ran out to the .campus after the rabbit just in time to see
it pop down a large hole. In another moment down went Tita after him The rabbit hole went
straight on like a tunnel, then suddenly down.
"Dear me!" said Tita aloud, "I wonder if I'm falling clear through to China! I do hope
won't be where there is fighting!"
Suddenly thump, thump, down she came upon a heap of leaves. She looked up-it was
all dark overhead, but before her was a long passage down which the white rabbit was still
hurrying. Away went Tita after him, but when she turned the corner, he was nowhere to b:::
seen and she found herself in a long, low hall.
Suddenly she came upon a little table on which was a bottle with, "Drink me" printed
on it in large letters. Tita tasted it and finding it. very good, drank it all.
"What a curious feeling!" exclaimed Tita. "T must be shooting up like a teloscope
Just at that moment bump went her head against the ceiling! In faCt she had l:>ecome as
tall as Ernest Finke. At that she began to cry. By and by she heard the heavy tread of feet
and looking up, what was her surprise to see a girl no taller than Tiny Dominguez and as round
as a ballon.
"Why, Olga Chemaly! I didn't know you. What on earth!"
Just then there was a terrible cry of, "Off with her head!". The Queen of Hearts was in
swift pursuit of a boy with curly hair and a little mustache.
"Charlie!", screamed Tita, "Why no, it's Bob La Montagne. Where qid -you get the curly
hair and the mustache? What a circus!" she adeed.
"Yes, indeed", said the white rabbit, only it was not the white rabbit after all but Duval
1\!Ioss answering some questions that Louise Schirmacher had asked him.
"The program will now commence", said the Queen of Hearts who on closer inspection
proved to be Miss Cole. So saying the program was at once way ..
Marion Holstein holding a Japanese parasol balanced it gingerly on a tight rope. In ano-
ther ring, Charlie Dominguez and Ernest Finke were boxing. Just ouside a hut labeled, "Uncle
Tom's Cabin", were Laura Constantine, playing the role of Topsy and Mary Sloan, that of little
E:va. John Mohme was doing the Continental with Olga Gottlieb. Bpb Rovzar was selling peanuts
to the accompanment of "El Manisero" rendered by Cornelius DeKanter. Jose .Covarrubias was
feeding the elephant. Suddenly through the confucion was the heard voice of Miss Allen, "A mi-
racle has occurred! How did Tita manage to stop talking long enough to fall asleep?"

THE LOVE MART
Since Milady Spring has once more appeared trailing graceful draperies of cold rain and
tripping lightly over a carpet of luscious bla mud, punctuated here and there by a discou-
raged half-frozen skunk cabbage, the "gentle" passion has again made itself felt in the A. H.
S. with some most noticeable results. .
The first and the hardest hit is a boy with a sweet smile, a football m.an. But recently he
has been very busy in the publication of the annual. We can't understand and wish we could get
at the bottom of it. Our only explanation is it must be love! Cupid struck this poor fellow in
the shape of a slender little thing from the Junior Class. She is very sweet and gentle. A favorite
question seems to be "Oh ................ Duvie!!!!!!????? (No, don't take us wrong: those
are only to indicate depth of expression.) Anyhow we would like to know more about the identity
of this couple.
Then there's another couple that we have noticed, and wonderd at. We wonder what
either of them ever did to deserve their fate. They have been going together for two years. At
any rate here's what we know about them; draw your own conclusions! The girl in this case
is short, petite, and talks like a little radio. She has very pretty green eyes and winning ways-
Oh, Y.es, and she's the literary editor of the Anahuac. The hero is dark, a good wrestler and
a resident of the Condesa neighborhood- (Oh, but we assure you that has many good quali-
ties!) His every_ sentence begins with, "I'll tell you what-" Can you gues this? We know it is
hard-but we are offering a very attractive prize to the clever person who finds it out.
We have been told not to forget that couple, a very fair brunette girl and a curly headed
young boy whose intials are respectively-M. S., and C. B. F'or this we offer baby prize.
Then there is one more; (We promise that this is the last). The boy has brown hair and a
jovial, backslapping manner, who at the time we wrote this,' is "going with" a nice, blond, hazel-
. eyed Cuban girl. They are both noted for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. If you
cap't gues this one, we give you up in despair.

In this year, 1935, the Humor Editor and
his assistants have prepared fo you a "Love
Outline". This Outline consists of small in-
cidents that occurred around the campus dur-
ing the school year. You may take these as
you like.
LOVE OUTLINE OF THE A. H. S.
1.-We are wondering if Duvie Moss and
Alice La Montagne will have more quarrels
this year.
2.-We wonder if Mary Sloan and Carlos
Bragdon are really sweethearts or just trying
to make Jaime squirm?
3.-We wonder what is going on between
Frank and Gerry?
4.-Why must some people go around with
the wrong person. Just look at Bill Chermsi-
de and Doris, Mikie and Bob. Seems to m.e they
should switch around.
5.-Although the absence of Charlie Mer-
cado has distressed us all, w'e somehow think
that Tatiana Blago suffers most.
6.-We wonder how Charlie Dominguez'
BIG moment is getting along.
7.-We mustn't forget Charlie Lang; who
will be his next girl friend?
8.-WiH Tiny Dominguez and Hector Riva-
deneyra ever stop -quarreling?
9.-Here's a very serious question-is John
Mohme, our "brightest boy", in love, or is his
solitude natural?
10-We beg of Ernest Finke and Rothalie
Wallace to please stop snarling and teasing
each other. We wonder if they are only playing
or hiding their love affair from us.
11.-Why is Robert Rovzar constantly day
dreaming in the mornings? Is he trying to
forget or trying to make up?
12-To Zulema's credit she believes in
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder for
somebody else!" Poor Hector Sarifiana.
13-We wonder what's wrong with Cor, the
"Lady Killer".
14.-Was it a case of true lov1e with
Kathryn Skidmore and George Clyns, or was
it just a natural attempt to get Maurice La
Montagne jealous?
15.-Are Julius Hirschfeld and Rosa Maria
Parra still
16-It seems that when it came to a toss-
up for Charlie Mercado, Anita Aguirre lost to
our attractive Russian.
17.-Does our Ralo stilL run after Carmen
Hoeflich?
18.-And, does Louise Schirmacher still
sigh musically for Adolfo Giron? .
19.-What has happened to Betty Kalb and
Jose de la Torre? Help us to hasten the happy
reunion!

Freshie: "Knee action in the wheels and neck
action in the rumble seat.
Charles Lang, (patting Amparo on the back)
"Gentlemen prefer blondes".
Amparo: "But I'm no blonde".
Charles L.: "That's right, I'm no gen-
tleman".
Heard everyday in English 4 :
Tita: "Don't you think that the subconcious
affuvium of Browning's soul appears with the
greatest life-likeness in his bo1d, unpedantic,
crescendo style of hyperbolic "descriptions?"
Miss Allen : "Huh ?"

Doris M.: "Mm. those peanuts smell good".
Bob: "Wait, we'll move up closer to you
can smell them better".
An engineering student walked up to his
professor the other day and hands in a large
bundle of assignm.ents. Noticing a sheepish
look on the face of the student, the professor
asked somewhat suspiciously, "What' s all
this?"
'.'These are my Mae West problems", ex-
plained the student.
"Mae West?".
"Yeh, I done' em wrong".

JOKE S
Your husband looks like a brilliant man. I
suppose he knows everything.
Don't fool yourself. He doesn't suspect any-
thing.
A certain pupil in school is very devoted t o
his teacher, a t'acher of youth and many
charms. X was constantly proving his devotion
by acts of, kindness did not escape the
teacher's notice. One day she came up to him,
put her ann around him, and said. "I believe
I will kiss you for being so good to n1e, but
how old are you?"
that is all right", he said. "I'n1 old.
enough to enjoy it".
MY TRIP TO HELL
"Help!" I yelled as the car I was driving became uncontrollable and plunged over the
high cliff. Down, down, down, whizzed my car through the whistling air. The ground seemed to
push itself up toward me. I was travelling at such speed, and hit the earth with such force,
that I kept right on going, plowing my way through earth and rock as I went. Soon it began to
get warm, and I grew fearful lest I was heading for the place to which so many of my friends
had told me to go.
With a jolt I landed. It was Hell. Fortunately, I was on a highway. After some minutes
my trusty car brought me to a sign that read "HeBish Highway, nurnber 13. Six miles to Roast
'em Alive City".
About a mile farther on I came to a small village where r st rolled to inquire as to the
whereabouts of some of my friends. After speaking to one or t wo of my old acquaintances, I
resumed my journey to "Roast 'em Alive".
Soon I found myself in a deserted and lonely section of the country. As far as the eye
could reach, nothing but steaming hot rock could be seen. Suddenly a plump little devil ran out
in front of my car. I jammed on the brakes-but too late. I had run over and killed the poor
devil. -
Just then Satan himself drove up in his new Air-flow DeSoto. J umping out of his car,
he r an over, embraced me and said, "I hereby appoint you Prime Minister of all Hell. You have
just run over Dante Velasco, the most troublesome maniac in all H'E'LL".
THE MYSTEtRY OF WEDNESDAY
A broadway actor was carried away by the spirit of the prohibition times and remained
can<ed away for several days. He came to himself in his own room without knowing exactly
how he got there. A friend was sitting beside him.
"Hello", he said to his friend, as he opened his eyes, "what day is this?".
"This".. said his friend, "is Thursday".
The invalid thought is over for a minute. "What became of Wednesday?" he asked.
