In these times of war we must make two basic changes in our way of life, a complete change in our actions and a complete change in our thinking. Our change in actions in school is brought about primarily by the change in our opportunities and courses. Our school in former years has leaned more towards the cultural type of education. Now, as the entire world is engulfed in war, we have had to convert every concern and institution to all out war effort. This transition can easily be seen in Alameda High School. Many cour ses have been introduced into high school for the first time within the last year. In the shops instructors prepare us for the production, repair, and maintenance of products used in the war. The academic courses prepare us for further training in the varied fields supported by the armed forces. Science courses prepare us for essential civilian and military occu- pations. In the R.O.T.C. the boys are given much valuable training which will be of great use when they join the armed forces. Our change in thoughts is something less tangible, something not fostered by marching in parades or making speeches, but something nur- tured from within. It is an urge to do the utmost for the furtherance of the war. The majority of students probably have this feeling although they cannot express it. We of the staff of the 1943 Acorn have endeavored to capture the spirit and life of the Alameda High School during war and to retain some of the peaceful school life of normal times. We hope as you read your 1943 AcoRN you may recall many forgotten, happy thoughts and pleasant events. DEDICATION... “There are in the world two powers—the sword and the spirit. The spirit has always vanquished the sword.” NAPOLEON To the spirit in which the men and women who were former students of Alameda High School serve their country at home and abroad, this book is reverently dedicated. Mi. BRYAN'S MESSAGE The students of the class of June, 1943, are to be congratulated on the splendid record they made during their four years of high school. Seventy members of the class made a “‘B” average or better, and one hundred sixty members of the class, or 63 “co , made a “B-” or better. If the class roster of two hundred fifty-three names were arranged according to rank in schol- arship, two hundred twenty-five names would be passed before a student with an average mark of ““C” was reached. Only twenty-eight students fell below a ‘“‘C” average and only five below a “C-”’. Marks made in high school play a most important part in the future success of a student. Universities, colleges, civil service bureaus, many branches of the armed services, and almost all business concerns now ask for a transcript of a student’s high school record when he applies for admis- sion to a higher school or seeks employment in some branch of the govern- ment or in a business. Good marks open the way to better positions and to higher education, while poor marks block the individual on every side. Bet- ter positions naturally carry with them higher incomes, which in turn mean higher standards of living. Employing concerns want to know many other things about the student before they make him a member of their organizations. They want to know if the student is honest, if he is trustworthy, if he is regular in attendance, if he is prompt in doing assigned tasks, and if he gets along well with other people. Inquiries differ somewhat, but they all want to know if the student’s citizenship was satisfactory and if we can recommend him. It is a real pleasure for us to answer an inquiry when we can say nice things about a student and when we can send a transcript of record that shows good marks throughout four years of high school. It is not such a pleasure to answer letters for the small percentage of students who make poor marks, who think it is smart to cut classes, and who are unreliable in other ways. For the past several years, the average mark for all students in Alameda High School in all subjects has been closer to a ““B” than to a “C”. Any student can determine his position in the school in relation to other stu- dents by an examination of his marks. If he has more “‘A’s” and “B’s” than “C’s”, he is better or at least equal to the average student. If he has more “C’s” than “B’s”’, he will fall below the average. Absence from school causes more poor marks than any other single rea- son. A student cannot do good work when he has a poor attendance record. The work in a class goes forward each day. A student who is often absent soon finds himself behind in his lessons and is likely to lose interest. Regu- lar attendance and reasonable application to school work will assure almost any student good marks. Home study is absolutely necessary for the stu- dent who takes heavy courses and who wants to make recommending marks for college. A good high school record is probably the best investment a student can make. It will pay high dividends in the years ahead. Make your high school record count. To Mrs. LeHew, faculty adviser, Kenneth Smith, editor, and to the Acorn Staff, I express my deep appreciation and thanks for the splendid manner in which they have worked together to make the 1943 AcorN a success. They have overcome many difficulties and have quietly and effi- ciently published an Acorn of which we can all be proud. ib ™. His ATTMIN — = ommene — ect = — a am A.o. A. HS. FALL 1942 DrAN HAMILTON ViviIAN Ursin Recording Secretary Bos BuRKE Financial Secretary Jack TURNER Fe IO. ss Pe ain s cece ee Ep Fry The fall term of 1942 was the most trying term ever faced by an A. S. A. H. S. administration. The Alameda student body was forced to face the fact that the United States of America was at war with the Axis and school was not to be “as usual.” President Dean Hamilton arranged some splendid meetings for the pleasure of the students. A highlight of this administration was the enlistment of our president, Dean Hamilton, in the United States Navy. Dean was called to active duty shortly before his term of office expired. Vivian Ursin, vice-president, completed the term as president. She filled her office admirably as both students and faculty will testify. Recording Secretary Bob Burke, con- scientiously fulfilled the duties of his office and, also, presented the student body with a new leather minute book to be used by future recording secre- taries. Jack Turner, financial secretary, achieved the “impossible” when he announced that for the first time in many years the student body was paid up one hundred percent for student card dues. Ed Fry was a fine and spirited yell leader. Ed’s fine leadership, the support and yells of the students, and the splendid coaching of Frank Collin, inspired the football team to capture second place in the A.C.A.L. The officers of the A.S.A.H.S. for the fall 1942 wish to thank the student faculty committee, both boards of control, the administrative board and all persons who helped make this an outstanding administration. Respectfully submitted, Bos BurKE, Recording Secretary, A.S.A.H.S.

Each officer has helped to fulfill this promise. Ed Fry’s fine spirit and ability as a leader assured a successful administration, Maxine Brown, our popular and cap- able vice-president, was always ready to help in any way possible, Bin Randolph kept accurate minutes, Connie Catton worked hard for a 100“ student body, Bill Cooper provided lots of spirit and was a fine yell leader. The Student-Faculty Committee receives our thanks for the assistance given us in securing entertaining student meetings. Among the outstanding meetings were the Government Island Coast Guard Band Concert, the student talent program, the 217th Coast Artillery Band Concert, the enter- tainment by the Camp Ashby Singers, and the program by the Blind Asso- ciation which was climaxed by the remarkable performance of Pierce Knox at the xylophone. We wish to thank all the committees and organizations for the splendid help given us in the past term. We especially want to thank each member of the student body for his fine cooperation.

However, through the kind help of advisers and teachers, we soon became adjusted and proceeded to make ourselves a necessary part of all school activities. We were consoled by the fact that our new principal, Mr. Bryan, could also be called a “‘Frosh.”’ Phil Coney was our president during both the Low and High Freshman terms. Activities in our Sophomore year included the “Scotch Hop,” which was ably managed by Barbara Roth, Shirley Kihn, Bob Burke, and Noel Smith. We elected Jack Woodfin president in our 2A term and Eddie Fry presi- dent in the 2B term. Then came the time which is looked forward to by all students, when we could proudly say, “I’m an upperclassman.” In football we had Ernie Kell- berg, Pete Christie, Buzz Roberts, Bill Cooper, and Phil Coney; in base- ball we were represented by Dell Hall, Vern Hall, Jim Pingree, Bob Mc- Creery, and Ray French, who also played Varsity Basketball ; in swimming by Charles Dorr and Bob Young; in track by Ralph Dolan, Bob Arm- strong, Bruce Rodgers, Dick Millar and Bob Saxton; in golf, by Eddie Fry, Bob Unthank, Ernie Kellberg, George Randolph, Paul Cox and John Roach. Our Junior Year was finished off successfully, with the Jungle Prom which was managed by Paul Cox, ably assisted by Phil Coney and Barbara von Schmidt. Jack Ludlam was the President of the class in our Low Junior term; Ernie Kellberg was president in our High Junior term. oy JUNE 43 SPRING ’43 -Paut Cox Vice President ...Betty VAN DEN BERGH Recording Secretary.......Le0 COLLINS Financial Secretary. .SHIRLEY BRUZZON! Yell Leader GEORGE RANDOLPH Ad Board PET 9 ee Ad Board We entered our Senior year with George Randolph our chief executive. One of our first activities was the presentation of “George Washington Slept Here,” the most successful Senior Play ever presented in Alameda High School. This production, under the able direction of Mr. Lloyd Sisler and management of Paul Cox, Betty Van Den Bergh, and Phil Coney, broke all records for the sale of tickets. The cast included Bob Burke, Jeanne Cohn, Eddie Fry, Happy Matthews, Bruce Rodgers, Donna McMillin, Bob McCreery, and Leo Collins. We had our traditional Senior Picnic in our High Senior year, under the leadership of Paul Cox, at Lake Anza and it was agreed by all that it was a picnic they would never forget. Yes, we had a grand time, but we also studied. Fifteen of our classmates are life members of the C.S.F., and a large number are members of the Star and Key Society. Top honors go to Lena Caviglia, our valedictorian, and to Barbara Ackley and to Paul Cox, who took second and third places respectively, in a class whose average was exceptionally high. To the faculty advisors and to our other teachers, as well as to Mr. Bryan, should go the credit for our success. Throughout the entire four years they have never refused to help and guide us in social and class activities. To them, we express appreciation and thanks.

Bos CLIFFORD With the meekness and humility becoming freshmen, the Class of Jan- uary 1944 entered Alameda High School. Who would recognize them as the sponsors of the great Paradise Prom and that hit “Arsenic and Old Lace?” The Lollipop Hop, which promised to be a great success, was canceled because of unexpected war conditions. It was being capably managed by John Wendt and Shirley Brown. The memorable Paradise Prom made up for the disappointment by proving itself a complete financial and social success. This was managed by Ray Teakle and his co-manager was Jan Allgoewer. Our next venture was to select the Broadway hit ‘Arsenic and Old Lace”’ as our unforgettable Senior Play. The cast included Theresa Chrisand, and Jean Morris as the two old maids, Dick Frost and Aileen Nielsen supplied the love interest; Teddy portrayed by Rodger Witham, gave the play a JANUARY “44 OFFICERS SPRING °43 President ......Bos CLIFForRD Vice President.....

Directed by one of our class advisers, Mr. Sisler, and managed by John Wendt and Jackie Dufour, it was a record breaking performance. We not only excel in social activities but our class is also represented in sports. Connie Catton, Ben Gintjee, Bill Priest and Ross Bedford are on our undefeated tennis team. Al Broughton and John Archibald are out- standing in track and Pete Vallerga in football. Our class advisers have helped us immensely in all our ventures. We sincerely appreciate their assistance and counsel. Now as our four years stay at Alameda High will soon draw to a close, we hope the classes after us will have the good times that we have had here.

At the time, it seemed they were just another group of “scrubs,” but in the ensuing terms amazing changes took place. The school traditions and standards began to mean more to the class of June 44 and soon they had absorbed the school spirit. The urge to achieve was cre- ated and as a result many outstanding talents were displayed in athletics, drama, and class politics. Now, in our high junior year, another achievement has been added to the score. The “Starlit Prom,” given on April 30, was a huge success. The manager was Dan Rourke and the co-manager was Doris Pederson. Hon- orable mention should be given to all the others who helped to put it over. In our progress the class of ’44 has learned to appreciate the helpful and cooperative attitude of the Alameda High school faculty. NorMA GAMBARINI Recording Secretary PROMINENT HIGH JUNIORS MR.

In the fall of 1942 we successfully presented the “Snowflake Fling.” Thanks go to Don Ray and June Goltz for their fine work as Managers. Our main event this term was the “Junior Jive”, an afternoon dansant at which the chief attraction consisted of door prizes of two partly-filled War Stamp books. The boys in our class have taken part in a varied program of sports this past year. Bill Orwig, Al Van Dale, Harry Gonsalves, and Frank Reed triumphed in football; Jack Weeden, Dick Fetherstonhaugh, Don Mehr- tens, and Bruce Jennings are good swimmers; and Fred Von Bargen has contributed his talent to the baseball team. Leo Kahn and Hugh Williams went out for track, and Frank Reed is on the tennis team. Several of our girls are also taking an active part in sports. This term Virginia Heseman won her Block A, which requires much hard work. Now that we are upper classmen we plan to take an even more active part in student body affairs. We look forward to presenting our Prom next term and to the time when we will become Seniors.

These include Joe Kaney, who has proved himself an outstanding athlete by becoming the high point man on our basketball team.

This term our class events have included a dansant, the ‘““Bunny Hop”, and a gardenia sale, both of which were brilliant successes. Our class boasts many outstanding members in the field of sports.

On that day we were a little coy and not as “big time” as we were when we graduated from grammar school the previous June. But, as the weeks passed, we gained confidence, and elected our execu- tive committee. Starting out with high spirits, the class staged a dansant which was both financially and socially a success. Our class made another showing by being 1000 student body members. As one may easily see, all of us take interest in school affairs.

Tom COLLINS Recording Secretary ALTIVI . ws stan ie THE ALUHN oO TAFE This year we have published a war-time Acorn. Because of scarcities and priorities, some features in the book have had to be lengthened while others were shortened. Many government regulations have come at crucial times and have made it necessary to alter plans again and again. In fact, the staff developed the elasticity of thought so characteristic of the present day American housewife. They simply did not plan until they had asked the question, ““What will be available?” The staff has worked in many fields but we have all had the same goal in mind, the successful completion of the 1943 Acorn. Now, as the last copy goes to press, we shall confine our worries to wondering whether or not the book will really reach the students on the day planned. To the business manager, Win Currier, I want to extend my greatest thanks for the orderly and efficient way in which he has handled the many business problems of the Acorn. I wish to thank Mrs. LeHew, our faculty adviser, for her useful advice and untiring work on the book. Also, I wish to thank Mr. Bryan for the encouragement and support which he has given us during the whole time we have been working. There are many others who have helped us by writing articles, by taking pictures, and by giving advice when it was needed. Often a book of this type is compiled by the staff and students have little to do with its production. This year innumerable students have assisted in many ways and we feel this 1943 Acorn represents the students.

Powers This past year the Oak Leaf has enjoyed considerable success and has distributed more issues than for many years previous. This greater number of issues was due in great part to the efforts of our advertising staffs, whose hard work made our generous A.S.A.H.S. appropriation last longer. Thus, for the first time, an issue was put on a profit basis; also, another first was realized on June 9 with the eight page issue, the first of its kind ever pub- lished. Under the capable managership of Editors Cox, Currier and Ran- doph, and their hard working Managerial and Editorial Staffs, the Oak Leaf can boast of one of the best years it has ever experienced. The players of the drama classes have been very busy during the past year, giving performances of some of the most popular plays that have been produced. All dramatic productions are under the direction and supervision of Mr. Lloyd Sisler, an excellent teacher and director. Mr. Sisler, with the assis- tance of his students, design the costumes and with the help of Mr. Bert Getz construct the sets used in his productions. - im) at MR. LLOYD SISLER MRS. HAZEL HUNTER MR. JOHN KAFKA Students spend the time in the first semester of Drama in acquiring some of the fundamentals of dramatics such as improving their speech, develop- ing the habit of better posture and understanding the principles that go into making a young actor. The second term is spent in actual practice, performing in one-act plays, such as “Comes Romance” and “Life Eter- nal,” which were presented before the student body and were enthusi- astically received. When the Drama and Music departments combine their efforts, they usually produce smash hits such as the beautiful Christmas Pageant of last year and the very colorful operetta “Rio Rita.”’ The music for both of these productions was directed by Mrs. Hazel Hunter, the head of the music department. Two very good senior plays ‘‘“George Washington Slept Here” and J j g g “Arsenic and Old Lace” were presented. Both of these plays will be re- membered as dramatic successes. Students in the drama classes are making a definite contribution to civilian morale in their production of entertaining plays. Several boys, former drama students now in the armed service, have written of having participated in camp shows, thus putting their dramatics experience to a very practical use. In spite of the success of our recent offerings, the students and drama coach look forward to future productions as an opportunity for progress. THERESA CHRISAND GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB A CAPELLA CHOIR Mrs. Hazel B. Hunter is director of the Glee Clubs and A Capella Choir, which, along with the Drama Department, presented “Rio Rita” as the biennial operetta and “Gloria” as the annual Christmas Pageant. The Girls’ Glee provided entertainment for the Parent Teachers Association at several programs. A special voice class was inaugurated under the direc- tion of Mr. Lloyd Sisler. This group meets regularly for advanced vocal training. A.ELS. BAND AES. ORCHESTRA A.HS. SWING BAND All instrumental musical organizations which include A.H.S. Concert Band, R.O.T.C.

The orchestra has played for Carita Chapter of the Eastern Star at the Masonic Temple, and for the Parent Teachers’ Association at the high school. The R.O.T.C.

GREETINGS During the last year a number of instructors have resigned or taken non military leaves. The student body sends greetings and best wishes Mrs. Adelaide Fisk, our Dean of Women, took a year’s leave of absence beginning in February. Miss Hannah Oehlmann resigned her position in the language depart- ment. Sister Dolores Mary who was known to us as Miss Marry Geiger re- signed her position in Alameda High to enter the Convent of Sisters of the Presentation in San Francisco. Mrs. Beatrice Barrett has taken a year’s leave to begin in June. She will do full time Red Cross work. ATH HATS OFF TO OUR COACHES Though several members of the coaching staff either enlisted or were called into the nation’s armed forces, they have been replaced by others who have been equally successful in the quest for Alameda championships in the A.C.A.L. Virgil Gilcrease, Chris Freeman and Chet Millett entered our fighting forces, though Mr. Millett returned to his former post after being released from the service. The present physical education department consists of Lewis Jolly, who heads the staff and coaches track; Chet Millett, baseball mentor and assistant football coach; Frank Collin, who turned out excellent football and basketball teams; Frank Young, coach of the swimming and boxing teams; and Stan Schnepple, who handled the tennis and ‘“‘B” basketball teams. Never before has there been such a difficult task confronting the coaches throughout the country and Alameda High is indeed fortunate in having men with the ability and skiil of our present staff. For the preparation given the students for the crisis at hand and for their policy of developing clean play and sportsmanship, we sincerely say—HATS OFF TO OUR COACHES!! Bos McCRrEERY ‘ ce! 3i = 2s, 30 L : 9 wh i Ae AE FUUTBALL The fighting Hornets of Alameda High had one of the most successful seasons ever earned on an Alameda gridiron. Coach Frank Collin, in his first year at the Alameda High school, was greeted by several returning lettermen and by many good men sent up from Chris Freeman’s reserve team. Collin developed them into a fighting squad that was good enough to take second place in the rugged A.C.A.L. competition. After subduing San Mateo and Jefferson High schools in practice games, the Hornets trounced Richmond High by the decisive score of 18 to 6. The following week Alameda went from one end of the field to the other while being held to a scoreless tie by a scrappy, underdog Hayward eleven. Alameda’s traditional rival, Berkeley, held the high-flying Hornets to seven points while one of the strongest lines in Alameda history forced the Yellowjackets to score their only touchdown on a pass. A blocked conver- sion gave Alameda the victory. The real climax of the season came the afternoon when Alameda lost to an unbeaten Piedmont squad by a 14 to 7 score. A disputed touchdown {78 ] assured the Highlanders of the heart-breaking game over the inspired Hornets. Suffering from injuries, Alameda still controlled the ball a large portion of the struggle. Suffering a let-down on the Albany “‘rock-pile,” the Hornets managed to win only by a pass in the end zone shortly before the gun sounded. A post season game at Lodi High resulted in a scoreless tie. Three Alameda seniors, Bryant Wong (two years) and Frank Ratto, co-captains, and Tony Ratto made the All-County Honorary Team. Had it not been for injuries, several more might have been selected. Senior let- termen not returning for next year’s squad are Bryant Wong, Frank Ratto, Tony Ratto, Ralph Dolan, Dick Millar, Bob Yoas, Will Watt, Rudy Taube, Jim Pingree, Vic Lagorio, Ernie Kellberg, Harry Hedges, Richard Gonsalves, Pete Christie, and Paul Bowler. Next year’s team will be built around lettermen Bill Orwig, Carl La- gorio, Pete Valerga, Al Van Dale, and Harry Gonzales. A.C. A. L. GAMES LEAGUE STANDINGS Alameda Opponent Piedmont .

Cham- pionship after trouncing their co-champions, Berkeley, 39-19 in their last game before an hilarious home crowd. Coach Frank Collin, who succeeded Virgil Gilcrease, did a very fine job in producing a championship team. The Hornets were sparked to seven wins out of eight games by five outstanding players: Joe Kaney, high scorer of the A.C.A.L.; Bob Wuest- hoff, a steady forward; Ray French, all-county guard; Wes Robinson, and Don “Duckie” Pries. Much support came from: Fred Terry, Bert Guis- ness, Stuart Inman, Ed King, Carl Ketchum, Jim McQuaid and Bill Wirt. Only three players will be lost by graduation: Captain Ray French, Ed King and Carl Ketchum. Hence, prospects for a championship next season look good, with added strength from the ““B” team. The “B” team placed second in league competition, with Spangler, Pereira, Goltz, Babcock, Gans and others under the capable leadership of Stan Schnepple, also new to the Alameda coaching staff. A.C.A.L. BASKETBALL SCORES Alameda Opponent . Albany Hayward 33 32 Piedmont Berkeley ... Albany Hayward Piedmont . Berkeley . BASEBALL The Alameda Varsity Baseball team became A.C.A.L. Co-champs by winning all but two of their league games. Their title defense began with a 4 to 1 victory over the Albany squad. Next came a weird 15 to 9 win over a scrappy Berkeley team. Hayward was the next team to fall before the Hornets, and were defeated by a7 to 1 count. Alameda then hit a mid-season slump and dropped to a co-champion- ship. The first of the reversals came at the hands of an inspired Albany team, the score standing at 4 to 2. The next game was even a more miserable defeat. It was a wild tussle played at the Berkeley “Dust Bowl” and ended in an 8 to 7 victory. Ala- meda came to life just in time to end the season by drubbing Hayward 7 to 0. With three first string players from the undefeated 1942 team back to play their last season, the Hornets were definitely the “team to beat” throughout the season. The starting lineup consisted of Bob Curlett, catcher; Fred Von Bargen, pitcher; Don Pries, first base; Captain Bob McCreery, second base; Jim Pingree, left field; Ray French, centerfield and pitcher; and Carl Ketchum, George Childe and Jack Pereira, right field. Coach Chet Millett deserves much credit in coaching his second cham- pionship team in his two years at the school. The prospect for next year’s team is once again very good, as only French, Pingree, McCreery, Ketchum and Pereira are not returning. Bos McCREERY THACh Following several postponements due to bad weather, Alameda’s 1943 track team is rapidly gaining strength. With a meet against Hayward and the A.C.A.L. finals to be held after the AcorN goes to press, the Hornets are determined to beat Hayward and take one of the first three places in the A.C.A.L. meet. Two outstanding men developed by Coach Lewis Jolley are Ralph “Moose” Dolan and Al Broughton, who placed first in the shot put and pole vault, respectively, in the N.C.S. meet at Stanford. Consistent point winners for Alameda have been: Hugh Williams, in the hurdles and broad jump; Dick Millar, in the 440 yard run; Jack Hubbell, in the broad jump and 220 yard dash; Frank Deines, in the pole vault; Lloyd Wagner, distance man; Leo Kahn, in the sprints; George Barry, Ray Teakle, John Archibald, Walt Jensen, Bert Guisness, Fred Terry, and Archie Bowles. CaRL KETCHUM Due to the fact no track action pictures are available, photographs of Bob Curlett and Jim Pingree of the championship baseball team are being substituted. BOXING With Coach Frank Young, former middle- weight at U.C.L.A., serving as instructer, a box- ing team has been organized at Alameda High. Though no blocks are awarded for their ef- forts, there is a possibility of inter-scholastic competition for the squad next year. Members of the team are Wes Robinson, Tom Conlon, Bert Joy, Bob Lowthian, Ernie Butler, Ronald Quinn, Jack Cook, Bob Faria, and Carl Rose. Bos McCREERY aT SWIMMING Alameda’s swimming team placed second to Berkeley in the A.C.A.L.; they were overcome by sheer weight of numbers. Frank Young, who re- placed Chris Freeman, did a fine job of coaching. The best performance of the year was by Jack Weeden, who won the 100 yard back stroke in the A.C.A.L. meet. Other Hornet mermen were: Bud Guisness, who placed second in the 50 yard freestyle at the A.C.A.L. finals. Bruce Jennings, 100 yard freestyle; Jim Shields, 220 yard freestyle; Ted Sawyer, 100 yard freestyle; Rocky Mountain, 100 yard breast stroke; Warren Parkinson, 220 yard freestyle; Bill Simpson, 100 yard breast stroke; John Correa, 50 yard freestyle; Chuck King, in the class “B” diving. With the N.C.S. meet to take place after the ACORN goes to press, our swimmers will close a very short season, which has been marked by can- celled meets and other difficulties; however the boys have obtained fine results when up against stiff competition and prospects are very bright for next year’s team. CarL KETCHUM TENNIS Alameda, the undefeated championship team, had the most successful season ever ex- perienced by a Hornet net team. The team was lead by Connie Catton, num- ber one singles player, who completed his sec- ond consecutive undefeated season. The first doubles team of Dick Strehlow and Ray Lewis also went undefeated in A.C.A.L. competition. The team was expertly coached by Stan Schnepple, w ho has come to the Alameda coach- ing staff only this year. Not since 1936 have the Hornets had a championship squad. Aside from Catton, Strehlow, and Lewis, other members of the team are Bob Mason, Sherman Keck, Ben Gintjee, and Frank Reed, in the singles, and Ross Bedford and Bill Priest, who complete the doubles. Standings: Alameda, Piedmont, Berkeley, Albany. Bos McCREERY { 88} FACULTY IN THE SERVICE Lt. (j.g.) Chris Freeman, whose picture is here, is better known to us as friend and coach.

In addition to the regular meetings of the Society, the members have sponsored a student meeting and have made a one hundred dollar War Bond purchase. President Binford Randolph, and the other officers who were Irene Coupe, Vice President, and Virginia Heseman, Secretary, have presided over many entertaining meetings and have accomplished a great deal in the Society’s affairs. Astudent on the term honor roll is eligible for membership in the Society. Membership for three consecutive or four non-consecutive semesters en- titles a student to life membership in the organization and a red seal on his diploma. Life members may also wear the Star and Key pin. So, if you find that you have these qualifications to join the Star and Key, join today and take part in the fun that awaits you at the meetings.

Added to this, the members have been very busy working for defense by buying war bonds and stamps. The girls of the club are finishing an afghan for use of service men in one of the navy hospitals of our country, and soon expect to make many more. To carry on with our club activities, a very successful gardenia sale was sponsored this spring. Even in war time the meetings have been very entertaining and Le Cercle Francais is looking forward to many happy meetings in the future.

Miss IsaBEL VENARD This term the Spanish Club celebrated the twentieth anniversary of its founding. Each year since its beginning, the Club has been an active organ- ization with a good number of students of Spanish taking part in the meetings. This year, however, the Club has the largest enrollment in its history, with more than a hundred students holding membership cards. The meetings of the year have been up to the standards set by previous groups. The meeting with the largest attendance of the Fall term was the annual Christmas party, with entertainment typical of a Mexican Christ- mas party. During the Spring term the outstanding meeting was the one held on April 14, Pan American Day. Among those who contributed to its success were Robert Coon, Maxine Brown, and Jack St. Claire. The last meeting of the term was the showing of a new color film of Mexico. The officers of the year merit the thanks of the members for their con- stant efforts to provide interesting meetings. “7 Tt NpMMER Cis THE LATIN CLUB OFFICERS Don Ray Vice President.................-MaAry POWELL President Recording Secretary Joun WENDT Financial Secretary Brit Gripp Song Leader OFFICERS SPRING 7°43 President Don Ray Vice President................MARILYN KING Recording Secretary.........ANNE McCKENzIE Financial Secretary KATHERINE Moore Song Leader DaPHNE LYNN Our Latin Club is composed of students who take or have taken Latin.

SHIRLEY BROWN Song Leader BARBARA ROTH SO TM Ee res it LORRAINE COLBERT The Girls’ Association of Alameda High School is open to every girl in the school whether she pays the Association dues of ten cents a term or not. We issue no tickets, we keep no records of those who do not pay; we just trust that every girl will want to be a member of the organization which directs girls’ activities, girls’ interests, and girls’ social service in the High School. When it is time to welcome the incoming Freshmen, we are especially busy making plans for an afternoon of fashion shows, refreshments, and dancing. The Senior girls act as “big sisters” at this time. This term Kathy Malquist, Vice-president, was chairman of the Freshman Reception. A very enjoyable band from the Coast Artillery was presented by the Girls’ Association to the student body this term. This was enjoyed by all of the students. This past term has been a very successful one under capable leadership of President Barbara Roth. The meetings were very interesting and in- structive to all. It is our sincere hope that the girls will always be as proud of this organi- zation as they have been in the past.

The first two administrations, under the management of Bob Clifford and Ernie Kellberg, have lived up to this standard. Last fall we sponsored a football rally and this spring we held a very successful boxing match featuring Alameda High School boxers. We had several interesting meetings including some sports talks, and an Army Air Corps picture. The Men’s Association held a very success- ful dansant this spring. We hope that future Men’s Association presidents will be as active as the last two have been. PETE FISHER, Recording Secretary GIRLS BLOC “A” SUCIETY The Girl’s Block ‘‘A” Society is an organization of the G.A.A. Its pur- pose is to promote an interest in girl’s athletics, to develop leadership, to cooperate with the school and other organizations in any worthy project. The large yellow and white pom poms which the Block “‘A’s” sold in the fall were a colorful note at the football games. Seven new members were initiated at the end of the fall term. The initiation was followed by a roller skating party. This term the society has been particularly interested in assembling materials needed by the Red Cross for child care.

Tony RatrTo, Recording Secretary VICTORY CORPS The Victory Corps was organized to sponsor sales of war bonds and stamps. Through their efforts the student body qualified for the U. S.

JUNIOK RED CRHUSS The Junior Red Cross in the Alameda High School has done a large amount of work this year. Many items have been sent to the armed services such as comfort bags, canes, ash trays, game boards and many joke books. The new system of corps has worked out very well this year and we are looking forward to even better work in the years to come.
