GEORGE RANDOLPH ...MAXINE Brown Recording Secretary.......EmM1ty Haas Financial Secretary Yell Leader Ad Board Paut Cox Ad Board.......Brtty VAN Den BERGH As Freshmen, we, the Class of June, 1943, were dazed and somewhat awed by the immensity of the buildings and the complexity of high school life. 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. LrEo COLLINS Recording Secretary
