VAUDEVILLE AT A. U. H. S. AROUSES DEEP INTEREST EVERYBODY is talking and thinking vaudeville at the high school these days. This coming vaudeville show will provide entertainment for Friday afternoon and evening at the high school and will be given by the members of the dramatic classes under the leadership of the well known Miss Lucille Bickley. Miss Bickley will be assisted by Mrs. Marlan Higgins, who has charge of the music numbers, Miss Irene Jacques and Irene MacLean. Miss MacLean is at the head of the stage craft class and promises something new in sets and generosity. With ten acts of vaudeville, there is something that will please everyone. A very pretty scene will be "The Oldfashioned Garden," in two scenes. First, the old fashioned lover and the oldfashioned girl, which will be portrayed by Marvin Ross and Gwendolyn Wadsworth, and one modern lover and his girl, Jack Royalty and Edna Hleneman. Another stunt that is sure to prove a rib tickler is "Flivering" a clever scene by two equally clever actors, Catherine Cravath and Jack Woods. "Dr. Killum's Assistant" is the name of a comedy skit. The doctor is announced as Jack Carroll; tramp, Miscoc Ingram; Hiram, Waldo Walton; lady, Gladys Heald; Jew, Jack Carroll; old maid, Helen Daly; Hans, Lawrence Mills; lumbago, Wilfred Hayes. This act is sure to be most entertaining. The Aloha quartet will render a number of the latest songs. The group comprises Johnny Feetham, Elvin Grauer, Victor Rees and Jack Royaty. The proceeds of the entertainment will go into the annual fund. The show takes the place of the bazaar that has been previously held.

HI-Y CONFERENCE PROVES SUCCESS The annual Orange-co Hi-Y Conference held in Anaheim the weekend proved a real success, according to all fortunate enough to attend. There was great disappointment when it was discovered a number of delegates expected could not attend because so many had to work. A Story of Candles By MARJORIE HOWE DIXON If you and I were suddenly transplanted back to the days of Louis XXVI and found ourselves dressed to attend a court ball in Versailles we would certainly be impressed with the scores upon scores of candles lighting the brilliant hall. The candelabra hanging from the ceiling and the sceneries at the walls would be elaborately fluted in scrolls and bedecked with glass prisms, reflecting light in countless rays. Candles had been the main source of artificial light for centuries, not only for social gatherings but in the secluded home of the peasant. Indeed the quaint old saw. "Early to bed and early to rise. Makes you healthy, wealthy and wise", may not have been originated for any particular moral purpose but to save the expense of candle light. Candles Recently Disused Candles have always been used more or less but about a hundred years ago when little oil lamps with a glass chimney were invented, candles with their dripping and seemed a better lighting device. Later on, kerosene lamps were performed, then the gas jet and electric bulbs entirely supplanted the tapering stick. Today without efficient lighting, is it not interesting that we have rediscovered candles and their use? Now the beautiful housekeeper supplies herself with candles and candle-sticks. For their decorative beauty she stands a pair over the mantle, another on the side board and still another on the consul table while sometimes she has a little row of of the stairway. The housewife of today permits romance and a spirit of good cheer to enter, when she turns off the electric glare and lights her candles. She has found there is no substitute for the soft shielding glow they give. There is nothing more flattering to her dinner guests than to light the table with a beautiful glass... HI-Y CONFERENCE PROVES SUCCESS The annual Orange-co Hi-Y Conference held in Anaheim the weekend proved a real success, according to all fortunate enough to attend. There was great disappointment when it was discovered a number of delegates expected could not attend because so many had to work. In spite of this and the rains of Sunday the sessions were well attended and heartily enjoyed. At the closing session yesterday it was unanimously agreed that the conference should go to Fullerton in 1923, and some definite suggestions made to the executive committee. The officers elected were Art Mann, president; James Gardiner of Fullerton, vice-president; Kenneth Walker, Anaheim, secretary; Emory Grist, Garden Grove, treasurer; Laurence Slosson, Orange, yell-leader. The resolutions committee presented the following report, after which the conference came to a close in the usual association manner.

G. Coons, Ed. Alawede and Rev. T. H. Walker, as advisors to these committees, who were responsible for the working out of the details of this conference. To Geo. S.

COLLEGE GRADUATE CREW HIS PLAN SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 11—No rough and ready pirates for this treasure hunt. The bark Narwhal, which sails next month from San Francisco for the South Sea Islands, on one of the summer tours always plies herself with candles and candle-sticks. For their decorative beauty she stands a pair over the mantle, another on the side board and still another on the consul table while sometimes she has a little row of of the stairway. The housewife of today permits romance and a spirit of good cheer to enter, when she turns off the electric glare and lights her candles. She has found there is no substitute for the soft shielding glow they give. There is nothing more flattering to her dinner guests than to light the table with a beautiful glass candelabra as a center piece. Beauty and Romance in Candles Modern fixtures may have efficiency and convenience written all over them, but beauty, romance, conviviality depart under the piercing rays of an unshaded gas jet or electric bulb. Candles bring a sense of quiet and restfulness which is so desirable in these days of rush and hurry. The old disadvantages of the candles have been greatly eliminated dles today are so composed of the various qualities of wax that many varieties will stand quite gracefully during the summer heat, will not smoke with a disagreeable odor or pleasing hues and made in qualit and interesting patterns such as the conical, the square colonial, the twisted and fluted and those that are modeled with flowers in relief. A lavender pair or perhaps a rich blue or an orange may be just the necessary note to heighten the beautable may be enlivened by a pair carefully chosen for their striking color. Suggestions for Use At evening when-the family are gathered about the fireplace what is more enjoyable than a pair of tall ivory candles' in old brass candle-sticks? Does not a good time, a jolly evening, a happy memorable occasion result? What can be more of a welcome than to come down the street at Christmastide with soft snow flying about and see the candle lights of home reach out across the walk and greet you from the window?

The bark Narwhal, which sails next month from San Francisco for the South Sea Islands, on one of the summer tours always conducted in the South Pacific in search of "buried treasure," will carry a crew of college graduates, Captain Charles Arey announced. "We're going at this thing right," he said, explaining that he was confident that education was the key to all treasures of the world—including the treasure of pirate days.
