7 ull ang COME kali «S ’Revee=s ow lias aioe ener 1 Weseee= Aca Published b y t he Associated Students of A A DOA BPG BS Gall Ob Alameda, California e Volume XXXIX FOREWORD LIGHTS! ACTION! CAMERA! Your Acorn Staff has diligently labored to assemble and record per- sonalities and portions of school life which would instill life and action into the pages of the most novel AcorN ever produced. It is with a con- viction that this goal has been accomplished that the staff-invites your considerate attention to the new arrangements of sports, activities, and classes. If this book brings satisfaction and pleasant memories the ACORN staff will consider its task well done. DEDICATION “A collection of books.” says Carlysle, “is a university.” What, then, should be said of the keeper of the books? Immediately on this suggestion, the thought of every Alameda High student turns instinctively to the sub- ject of this dedication. Perhaps no member of the faculty ministers so universally to the students as individuals as does our librarian. And in the ministering she has at all times served so sympathetically, so intelli- gently, so untiringly, that it affords the A. S. A. H. S. genuine pleasure to acknowledge, through this dedication, the excellent services and fine loy- alty of our school librarian, Miss Elizabeth Dorn. DEMOCRACY AND LIFE The one overworked word at present is the budget, and so | too am going to try my hand in talking about it. There are many families, so | have been advised, whose homes are run on a non-budget basis, which is apt to be likewise, a non-consultation and non-coop- erative basis. According to this plan, the so-called head of the house, Mr. X, makes most of the money, allocates and spends all of it according to his ipse dixit, and that without the proper consultation or discussion of how much is really required from an economic standpoint, or what is just or considerate to all members of the family. The members of every family. every household, should, if they are wise, give careful thought to budgeting their resources. There is a logical and correct way of doing this if one is intelligent and thoughtful about it. According to the new spirit, this budgeting in the home should be done by the entire family. The husband, the wife, and the children as they grow up, should sit down together and talk over what is wise to do and what can be done with the resources. The children should know what the problems of meeting life’s de- mands are and what the specific problems of that individual home are, and they should be asked to contribute their help and advice in the matter. With the new freedom that is abroad in the land and with the new possibilities for cooperative life, it would seem wise that the wife and the children should be made to feel that they have a share and a responsibility in helping to balance the budget. I am firmly convinced that such a plan is a wise one and the right one and the one that will bring the most happiness to all concerned. In school life the position of a teacher is calculated to develop autocracy, a teacher standing in loco parentis, has to be boss, in a way, and keep order and say what has to be done and what has not to be done with the intellectual re- sources. Consequently, too often in the past under the old regime, the things that students had to digest in the way of intellectual pabulum were set before them and they were told to swallow, and that was all there was to it. This was an ineffective and dangerous tendency, but not necessarily the final outcome. There are many wise teachers, as there have been from all times, who know how to live with their students in a democratic way, namely on a consultation and a budgetary plan, and who on all occasions exhibit that wise understanding of human nature which takes into account the thoughts, the wishes and the nature of the indi- vidual student. They have known that our greatest task is to train our students in judgment. Even in making out a program of studies and a curriculum, in making out even the assignments of projects for unit work in the classroom, it helps to sit down, so to speak, around the council table and talk things over with our students. By putting ourselves on their own level and putting them upon our level, we are in a position to treat them as intelligent councilors and direct them in the way of developing self-reliance. balanced judgment and use- ful citizenship. I do not know just how far we should go in this direction, but | do know that we ought to go a long way, and I know without question that the principle enunciated here of giving thought to the budget, either a financial one in the home or an intellectual one in school, is fundamental to the development of the best and most useful character. The greatest force of life is loyalty, the greatest force in loyalty is love and friendship. Friendship has as its heart re- gard for others, consideration and tolerance. | commend not only the motto NOBLESSE OBLIGE but the other motto IT IS THE DUTY OF ALL TO SERVE AND NOT MERELY THE BEST in working out the problems of living together in a democracy. Our high school has emphasized in infinite ways this cooperative spirit. Particularly has this been emphasized recently on several outstanding occa- sions, namely, Public Schools Week, the production of ROBIN HOOD, and now by the present senior classes in the publication of our annual ACORN, where the work-together spirit with their advisers, with Dr. Vigness, their splendid director, and with the entire school is exemplified in a marked degree. I ex- tend to them my hearty compliments! —GEorGE C. THOMPSON. A. S. A. WH. S. FALL ’37 Bitt GopFREY President Louts Martini... Recording Secretary Berry WALDEAR Vice President Bit, CANNING Financial Secretary Jack BENNETT Yell Leader The Fall administration of 1937 under the very capable leadership of Bill Godfrey and Betty Waldear was one which will long be remembered for its friendliness and efficiency. This was an administration which worked as a unit and therefore accomplished much. President Godfrey and the Student Faculty Committee secured for us many interesting and enjoyable student meetings. Some of the more outstanding meet- ings were the Student Talent Day, talks by members of the Santa Clara Foot- ball team, National School Assemblies, program with Albany High School, Hal Burdick’s “Night Editor,” some interesting programs by the combined Glee Clubs, an outstand'ng meeting of the Girls’ Association, and an interesting talk by Dr. Cleman, in commemoration of Armistice Day. Financial Secretary Bill Canning. did a very splendid job, and saw to it that our money was wisely spent. As Yell Leader, Jack Bennett was the “tops,” for it was he who raised our morale and school spirit to an unexcelled height. The manner in which Bill and his administration functioned was truly re- markable, so therefore we do not think it boasting to say that we rank high on the list of Administrations.

SPRING ’38 The spring term of 1938 was started off with a splendid student meeting featuring “Scotty” Allen, noted authority on dogs and Alaska. In successive weeks many other entertaining and instructive meetings were planned and put on, through the efforts of President Bill Canning and the Stu- dent Faculty Committee. Such personalities appeared as former ASAHS Presi- dent, Travis Winsor; Armand Gerard, N.B.C. artist: and Mr. Courtwright and his remarkable dogs. Three National School Assembly programs were also en- joyed by the students. The Administration has sponsored five dansants, “free to student card hold- ers,” and a School Opening Dance, managed by Ted Keremitsis, an affair which now seems to be an established tradition. A movie was also given after school to raise money for student meeting expenses, and it turned out to be a great finan- cial success. Fine work has been done by all members of the Administration. The out- standing student meetings put on by President Bill Canning will long be remem- bered. Vice President Natalie Schreiber took charge of the Student Talent Day program, directed by Jim Smith, one of the best of the best. Financial Secretary Ted Dow has broken the record for Spring sales of student cards. John Vigen has maintained that “Old School Spirit” throughout the term, during meetings and at athletic events. If for no other reason, the unparalleled student meetings presented will classify the Spring Administration of 1938 as a model for posterity. RECORDING SECRETARY.

May we present to you the high seniors, who have for four years under the leadership of Bob Oskea, for four terms, Bob Kletzker, Louis Martini, Jim Smith, and Marion Gans, excelled in all school activities. We have given to track Art Schneider, Bob Bowles, Hiroshi Kido, and George Stevens; to baseball, Lennie Ratto, and George Fricke; to football, Jimmy Vickers, George Owens, Nemo Leeman, and Tom Roberts; and to crew, George Owens and Don McElvain. Bill Canning has been outstanding in basketball and tennis. We are proud of Louis Martini for his tennis ability as well as for his famous singing voice. Otto Best, Bob Davidson, and Bob Bedinger are members of the rifle team. Charles Wilson, Conrad Goerl, and Bill Cox have distinguished themselves in public speaking. Bob Oskea and Meredith Vaughan managed our Junior Swing Prom, which was a huge success. Our Senior Play, “A Lucky Break,” starring Alton Jennings, Gloria Moore, and Natalie Schreiber brought more glory to our class. Nine members of our class have received life memberships in the C.S.F. for outstanding scholarship. So we leave Alameda High School. We are proud of our record, and yet regret- ful at leaving the school with which many of our most pleasant memories are associated. HERB LOTTER Band; R.O.T.C. MEREDITH VAUGHAN Pres.

We deeply regret that we have but one more term in which to enjoy all that Ala- meda High School has to offer. As Freshmen we entered only to wander around in bewilderment. With Henry Guerin as President, our class launched itself on a very successful career. We de- veloped swiftly into one of the finest classes in the school. But we did not have a real opportunity to show ourselves until the High Junior term when we amazed the school with the presentation of that marvelous “HILL-BILLY PR¢ IM.” Then came our Senior Play, “SEVENTEEN,” which has yet to be equalled by any other class. When the next Acorn is published we will be placed amongst Alameda High’s great classes and we only hope we have given to Alameda half as much as we have taken out.

HIGH JUNIORS Cooperation and Class Spirit have been outstanding in the Class of June 1939 ever since its entrance into Alameda High in September of 1935. With such grand cooperation, class spirit and ideas our treasury has always been in the “pink” of condition. Our popular sale of book covers each term along with dansants and theatre parties have all helped to keep it in excellent condition. In February of this year our increasingly popular newspaper, the “Buzzing Hornet.” was started under the editorship of Clarence Abbott. Being composed of “stars” in every field it is little wonder that our class suc- ceeded in giving “THE” best Junior Prom ever held. The Co-Managers of the Hawaiian Prom were Ted Keremitsis and Edna Templeton. Nearly 1.000 stu- dents “rode on waves of rhythm” to the music of Frankie Jones and his orchestra. making it a social as well as financial success. The Gym was converted into a typical Hawaiian setting “with all the trimmings. The High Juniors are well represented in every phase of High School activ ity. We boast of many “stars” in all sports as well. We have much talent musically and dramatically, several members of our class having played leads in the famous opera, “Robin Hood.” We are up and coming in school politics and outstanding I I £ ] ' in scholarship. You can be assured that great things will happen in our Senior year. LOW JUNIORS During the past year our class has had the most progressive year we have ever known. This is due to the full cooperation the class gave in putting over last semesters White Elephant Sale, Candy Sale, and Theatre Party. In entering into the ranks of upperclassmen this semester has promised to be even more prosperous than the last. if our other activities of the term prove to be as outstanding as our candy sale and theatre party have been. At the time of Public Schools Week we were proud of the exhibits of our class advisories which were especially attractive. We can also boast of many prominent players in sports the year ‘round. There are such players as George Harmola in basketball, Lawrence Thomas in baseball. Janet Angwin in tennis. and many others. Our class has now to look forward to being as successful in the upperclass activities as the preceding classes. We sincerely hope Alameda High can be as proud of us as the school is of them. UU HIGH Fall of 1937 OFFICERS Spring of 1938 Jack GILMORE President Bup BowMAN Betty Dopson._ Vice President EsTHER CALKINS Doris McDonaLp Recording Secretary JANICE INMAN JOHN KENNY Financial Secretary Betry Dobson Eppre OWENS Yell Leader Joun THOMAS The 2B class under the leadership of Jack Gilmore, in the fall term, and Bud Bowman, at present, has passed a very successful year. The members of the class have shown a fine cooperative spirit. Both of our theatre parties, one headed by John Kenny and the other by Jack Gilmore, were financial as well as social successes. Our student card rating was very high both semesters. In sports we excelled. We are very proud of Pat Canning who is the Junior Tennis Champion of the Pacific Coast. We are also proud of Willard Schmidt in swimming, Herbie Cleaves in track, Frank Pingree in baseball, and Eddie Owens. who is varsity coxswain of the famous Alameda High Crew. In the drive to send this famous crew back east, to compete for the National Title, our class contrib- uted forty-five dollars, more than any other class in the entire school. Our class is fully represented in the 130 pound football team. Our Ad Board members. Janice Inman and Bud Bowman are very influential in student affairs. With this cooperative spirit, plus the individual initiative of members of the class, we feel sure that we will be able to accomplish a great deal during our next two years in the Alameda High School.

Board ae Pau Kapci The class of January, 1941, has had a very successful year under the leadership of Paul Kapci in the fall term and Jack Kappeler in the spring, with the aid of their respective administrations and under the guidance and supervision of the class advisers, headed by Mr. Cummings. The chief event presented during the fall term was a joint theatre-party, with the 2Bs, which enriched both class treasuries. Of course, the highlight of the year was the freshman initiation, which gave delight to the entire student body at the beginning of the spring term. At this time we allowed a group of lowly frosh to join our gang of superior sophomores, to the accompaniment of song, dance, and drama. The show was so unusually good as to win unstinted praise in a special broadcast from Doctor. (Take a bow, Lucille Junca! ) Our illustrious class includes many potential athletic award winners and stu- dent-body leaders. In thanking all those who made it possible for us to have such an exceptionally fine and successful year, we venture to prophesy that the future will show our class ability to carry on and uphold the glorious traditions and spirit of Alameda High School.

Norma Bruns and Alden Smith, and with the help of our advisers, have had a very successful term. Our many activities as low freshmen showed the coopera- tive spirit of the class. Last term our dansants placed a sum of money in the treasury. The class meetings have been well organized and splendid entertain- ment provided for us by members of the class. Several of the boys as 1B’s have shown an active interest in sports. Clarence Carvin has made the varsity baseball team and Bud Kern promises to be an up-and-coming football player.

The fall term, under the leadership of Beatrice Brownlow, was very successful; and the present administration, led by Marylyn De Witz, is planning many enjoyable activities. It is our desire that every French student will take an active part in the French Club. GERMAN CLUB Dear AcorN Readers: The German Club of the Alameda High School is one of the oldest clubs in the school. We care nothing about building up a vast treasury, but just enough to keep up our activities. Club dues are 25¢ a term and with this money we give free picnics, carry on all of our activities, and serve refreshments at all Ger- man Club meetings. Our most excellent Presidents, Audrey Koopmann for the Fall term, and Barbara Padel for the Spring term, have held our club at a high standard. So with all of us working as we have been doing, we can truly say, “Orchids to one of the best little clubs in the school.” Respectfully yours, GERTRUDE WORDMAN, Vice President. EL CLUB ESPANOL The Spanish Club has worked industriously this year to provide meetings which might be of the greatest interest to the majority of members. As a result of the efforts of the officers of the administrations of the Fall and Spring terms, interesting programs have been prepared and given. Perhaps one of the most unusual meetings of the year was the Christmas party, given just before the Christmas vacation. At that time typical Spanish Christmas songs were sung by club members. Felix Uribe, a member of the club, gave an excellent presentation of a favorite dance of Mexico, the Jarabe Tapatio. He wore for his dance the correct native costume. The pinata celebration was also enjoyed on that occasion. During meetings of the Spring term Spanish games have been played by those who have attended. Meetings of a musical nature, with Juliette Pérez, Jean MacLean and Albert Gallagher taking especially active parts, have also been held. The Spanish Club wishes to take this opportunity to thank all students who have given their help toward the success of the meetings of the year 1937-1938. THE LATIN CLUB Since the beginning of the year the Latin Club has very rapidly been pro- gressing. Very soon now it will have the same power and financial standing that it had many years ago. The members of the club have attended many interesting meetings, and there are yet even more surprises planned for them next year. As to social events, the club has given a very successful theatre party. The officers are now planning to print a paper every two weeks, in which the news of the club will be broadcast. The officers, including James Farley, president: Naney Kimball, vice presi- dent: Marvin Anderson, recording secretary: Pierre Siead, financial secretary, and John Kenny, editor, are also planning new membership cards for the club. We are hoping to see more new members next year.

Secretary _.....Dick GENTRY Lenny Ratto Serg. at Arms JOHNNY VAN SICKLEN The Boys’ Block “A” Society was started by Otto Rittler in 1924 and has stead- ily grown to be one of the outstanding organizations in the school. A student not only has to win his block “A” in his respective sport but must also have a “C” average in his scholastic work to enter into the Society. This fact has done much to raise the morale and the spirit of the organization. During the last two terms the Society has participated in many activities such as ushering football games and track meets at the University of California and Stanford, keeping order on the field at our own football games, skating parties, our annual Thanksgiving drive, helping out at the Elk Sport Night and many other activities. Although the Society has attained a high standard, with new members coming in and with the high morale and spirit it will undoubtedly move on to bigger and better things next year. « 78 � GIRLS’ BLOCK ‘‘A’”’ SOCIETY Fall of 1937 OFFICERS Spring of 1938 Zora Epwarps = Prosdent scale GLADYS JANSSEN Treppa Koscu ...Vice President.. .....

Therefore during the season of Alameda’s football victories, members of the society made and sold huge gold and white pom- poms. Later in the term we held a most successful theatre party at the Vogue .. . and at the close of the term we offered a bridge tea for bridge enthusiasts. In our own selfish interests we have had several events. We were guests at a swimming party at the Women’s City Club in Oakland. We held a dinner party at the home of our president, G ladys Janssen, and one evening was spent at a theatre party. Our contribution to the school this year was mirrors for our gymnasium dress- ing room. Our service lies in our best efforts toward able leadership. «79 � PEN AND PLUME Don HERSEY President Betty SHULTIS Secretary MARGARET BARRETH Vice President MARJORIE SHAW Treasurer The Pen and Plume Society, organized only a year ago, is enjoying a boom J coal J 3 5 JO} to that has challenged the admiration of the school. With seventy members on its rolls, this club for creative writers hold s lively meetings every two weeks in the Little Theater. Literary contributions by student authors are read aloud by Mr. Franklin Cummings, faculty advisor to the group, and critical discussion provides encouragement to all “who aspire to set the world afire.” Each meeting features an old-fashioned spelling bee, in which the competition is very keen, thanks to the prize always awarded the winner. Refreshments are served at every meeting with no loss to the club’s treasury, inasmuch as the ice cream, and other good things are supplied by the students. It may be claimed, without braggadocio, that Pen and Plume is one of the school’s strongest organizations. THE GIRLS’ ASSOCIATION OF THE ALAMEDA HIGH SCHOOL The Girls’ Association of the Alameda High School is an organization of which every girl is a member whether she pays her dues of ten cents a term or not. The money which the administration collects from the girls helps to secure interesting and pleasant entertainment for the Association meetings. It also aids in outside activities in Which the Girls’ Association takes part. It is customary each term for the Association to give the freshman reception which welcomes all the freshmen and new girls entering the high school. The reception consists of dancing, fashion shows, and tea. This term we had a very pleasant one under the management of Marion Gans. Each term it is also customary to hold a joint meeting with the Student Body. As in the past the G. A. has taken an active interest in girls’ activities, girls’ interests and girls’ social service in the high school. We have had a very successful and entertaining spring term under the leadership of President Jane Whitmore. ALA-HI-FORUM The Ala-Hi-Forum was organized to further the interests of the talented stu- dents of Alameda High School, in drama, reading and debates. In addition to the regular programs the Forum sponsored a pienic at Live Oak Park, Berkeley, and subsequently a very entertaining and well-attended theater party. STAMP CLUB The Stamp Club has progressed greatly in the past year. During Public Schools week many stamps were on display in Miss Powers’ room. Members have secured many good stamps through contributions. An auction has been conducted with success. The Stamp Club has made several purchases of stamps in quantities, thus enabling the members to get good stamps at reasonable prices. « 82 THE AUDITORIUM STAFF The auditorium staff serves as a community group to assist whenever possible in student productions and graduations. It consists of a house manager and assist- ant, and the following groups which are equally distributed between the three upper classes: the box office crew handles all reserved seat tickets; the doormen, from the R. O. T. C., and the usherettes are Star and Key members: the stage crew under the direction of Mr. Bert Getz, builds and shifts scenery and sets for all school functions requiring stage equipment.

GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The foremost thought in our minds this term was the opera, “Robin Hood,” which we feel was one of the most successful productions given by the Alameda High School Music Department; due to the cooperation of the entire student body and faculty. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The Boys’ Glee Club has been very active during the past year, being invited to sing at the School Master’s Banquet, Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club, Berkeley High School, Alameda County Teachers’ Association Banquet, and many others. This term under our very able music director, Mrs. Hunter, we helped give the most successful opera ever given at Alameda High, “Robin Hood.” 86 THE A. H. S. BAND The standard of our Band has steadily been raised in the past few years. It was originally conceived largely as a “pep” organization associated with school athletics, but has now achieved a rank and dignity as a concert unit, capable of playing standard grade compositions and taking a prominent part in State Band Tournaments. Much credit is due to its Director, Mr. John F. Kafka for his un- tiring efforts. THE A. H. S. ORCHESTRA Our organization of 52 musicians of excellent ability is doing a splendid work towards the advancement of instrumental music in the community. The Orchestra takes part in all plays given by the various school classes and also plays a very im- portant part in our annual “operetta.” Under the direction of John F. Kafka it has attained a high degree of proficiency. being able to play standard compositions in a manner deserving high credit. CREW High spot in the sports events of this year at Alameda High was the sensational rise of our crew. At the conclusion of an undefeated season, invitation was received for the crew to enter the national regatta held May 28 at Lake Carnegie, near Princeton University, New Jersey. With ten days to prepare, the High school and Alameda community set to work and raised more than $2700 to finance the trip. Against the toughest kind of competition, our crew took second place in the contest. The LaFayette High school crew of Buffalo. New York, took first, and Hun school, former national champions, followed in Ala- meda’s wake. The following athletes, in charge of Coach Lewis Jolley made the trip: FELTON MAILLOT GEORGE OWENS JIM FARLEY BILL GANTT DAVE BRIDGES EDDIE OWENS (Coxswain) FRANK FARLEY BOB GENTRY JIM MOORE DON McEL VAIN BYRON FLEISHMAN GOLF For the third consecutive year the Alameda golf team has won the A.C.A.L.

After a fair practice season of two ties and one defeat, the team dropped their first A. C. A. L. game to Richmond. This defeat can be charged to the great power and experience of the Richmond team rather than to the faults of our team. Alameda hopes again skyrocketed when Alameda decisively beat Hayward. Throughout this game the Alameda team worked smoothly and as a unit. This game showed the possibilities in the team. Although the final score showed that Berkeley won by 13 points, this game proved no walkaway for Berkeley. Alameda gained twice as many yards from the line of scrimmage as did Berkeley and was, in the first quarter, inches from a touchdown. The following week Alameda suffered a let-down and lost the Piedmont game in Piedmont. Alameda faced a fast-charging, experienced team which proved too much for Alameda. During part of this game Coach Young used the reserve team and they showed that they would be varsity the next season. Alameda ended its season by swamping Albany. The team again worked beau- tifully together, scoring almost at will. With a new field on which to train and with many varsity players back, it is hoped that Alameda will finish the next season leading the league.

Lack of pitchers was the main difficulty encountered. The team won 10 prac- tice games and 5 league contests. Only three seniors will be lost to next year’s varsity. These are: Captain Lenny Ratto at shortstop, and outfielders Georg: Fricke and Al Fontano. Returning from this year’s team will be: catcher, Larry Thomas; pitcher, George Woolverton: first base, Frank Pingree: second base, Ray Antonelli: third base.

The most out- standing performer was Art Schneider, senior miler. Art broke three records this season. The first was the High School record of 4:37.5 held by E. Rice. The sec- ond record Art broke was the A. C. A. L. record of 4:34.9 which he ran in 4:34.2. The third record to be broken was the N. C. S. record of 4:33.6 in which the long-legged Schneider covered the ground in 4:33.4. Art has proven himself, with- out a doubt, the greatest miler Alameda has ever had. Wayne Girtner, a sophomore, ran the 880 in the remarkable time of 2:0 a yAR 0) Captain Bob Bowles was consistent winner in the shot put and the discus, and George Stevens took many points in the 440. Alameda hopes to be right up there among the winners next year, as Coach Jolley has many veterans returning and many promising prospects coming up from the Class B Squad.

The absence of the team was due to the closing of our gymna- sium for reconstruction. Much enthusiasm was shown by the students over basketball. The turnout for basketball was so great that many could not be accommodated. Coach Gilerease cave preference to those who would have a few more seasons on the team. This plan should give us a team near the top in a few years. Seniors who were used and who played well were Bowles, Byers, Canning, Farquar and Peterson. Next season with many of the team back with added experience it is hoped that the team will win the league for Alameda.

During the fall term our association was hostess to a Federation Play Day and luncheon attended by 160 girls from fifteen schools. We, in turn, were guests at San Francisco State College; at U. C., and at Me- Clymonds High. Our own sports season opened with a rally for Freshmen, under the leadership of Maureen Crichton. Our G. A. A. News. published each semester, is of interest to all the girls in school. Most notable is the interest in individual sports. Our top ranking tennis players, Pat Canning, Barbara Duncan. Janet Angwin, Constance Pollard, have been making names for themselves in coast tournaments. The finale of each season is a spread at which awards are made. Contributions from faculty members have been an inspiring part of the program. At our last spread Mr. Cummings was our guest speaker. «103 = CREW BADMINTON = TENNIS ©. - + fer BASKETBALI , | as SS y CS a o HOCKEY SPEEDBALI BASEBALI VOLLEYBALI me @. 1. {. The Alameda High School R. O. T. C. has indeed made an envious record for itself. Under the excellent military guidance of Major Louis J. Bowler and Set. Merrit W. Boyer, the personnel of our unit has established a list of achievements that has brought tremendous acclaim to our school, as well as to our battalion. The Rifle Team won both the Ninth Corps-Area Championship and the Cali- fornia State Championship for High School (the Hughes-Richardson Trophy). The team also placed high in the National Inter-Collegiate and Hearst Trophy matches. The annual competition was one of the most colorful and successful events of the year. The decision for Honor Company was the closest in years, and finally went to Company “A”. Among preparations for the annual federal inspection, the battalion is be- coming highly efficient in the art of calisthenics with music. This is indeed an accomplishment, as only a few of the Regular Army regiments are trained in this field. We are indeed grateful to Major Bowler for the many improvements which have been made in our battalion. 108 THE NON-COM’S CLUB OF THE ALAMEDA HIGH R. 0. T. C.

The Society also contributed its share towards sending the Alameda High School Crew to Princeton.

Port of Call and Haven of Ships” Alameda, a community of approximately 40,000 population, has won international recognition within recent months through the famous Pan-American “Clipper Ships ” based in this City. The new West Coast Naval Air Station to be constructed by the Federal Govern- ment on a 2000-acre site in West Alameda, at a cost of $15,000,000, creating a $5,000,000 annual payroll—brings additional prestige to the City, with the assurance of increased business activity to follow. These factors, together with the numerous nationally known industrial and com- mercial concerns already established here, including the extensive Encinal Terminals on our waterfront, with every modern convenience for ocean commerce, concede to Alameda a future of progress and achievement far in excess of any accomplishment thus far in its history. Municipal affairs are economically administered through a city manager-council form of government—tax rates are constantly reduced through decreased rates and assessed valuations. With its strategic location on San Francisco Bay; unexcelled climatic conditions ; excellent labor facilities; every recreational advantage; and the most highly desirable home and school conditions, Alameda presents herself as the “City of Opportunity”. {dditional information about Alameda may be secured from the ALAMEDA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ALAMEDA, CALIFORNIA Play Golf AT THE ALAMEDA MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE FEES: eo a ee a ee ee ae Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays . . . ... . ta Monthly Ticket peice, Gade sat cay eee 3.00 Monthly Ticket (Void Sat., Sun., Hol.) . . . 2.00 Lunch Room Open to the Public SPECIAL RATE TO ALAMEDA HIGH STUDENTS 25e¢ after 2:30 on School Days Compliments of BUENA VISTA PRESS 783 Buena Vista Ave. ALAMEDA EK.
