These festive outings of the Uplifters go way back to 1913 when the club was organized for relaxing gaiety at the Los Angeles Athletic Club. An original feature of the early outings still continued is the loud shirt contest, shown here on September 25, 1937. Left to right: Dick Erskine, winner of the loudest shirt title; Sheriff Gene Biscailuz; Charles Hackley, hailed for the most beautiful shirt; Wilfred Therault; Leo Schiff, commmended for his peasant bandana in true Hollywood style; and Harry Sperb, judge.
