One hundred thirty-seven members in the cast immediately began rehearsing for their first performance, "Jack And The Beanstalk", an operetta. The next year they found they could participate in J. V. sports, the Choir, and other side shows under the "Big Top". Mellowed by three years' experience, they took to the stage with "John Loves Mary", the Junior Play. Soon after came the command performance--"Coronation Ball ", the Junior Prom. By this time, the company had realized it was headed for stardom, and had chosen its production crew: Bob Ettin- ger, president, Juanita Pelegrin, vice-president, Lynn Pawson, secretary, and Charles Rogers, treasurer. Under their able direction the "troupe" went on to even greater things. The last season quickly drew to aclose--packed full of work and play. Then the big night arrived. The last production of the "Greatest Show on Earth" was staged after five successful seasons under the "Big Top". After the last curtain call had been made, the show closed down amid congratulations of relatives and friends, scattering the H6 members of the cast to make their way alone in the biggest show of all . f' 5 3 4393 , 1' x I e 6. y s ' Q :V 5 X A I l LE ROY BANKS Good company on the way makes the iourney seem shorter.

We put on a great presenta- tion when two new rings were added under the "Big Top"--the beautiful swimming pool and then the long awaited Cougar Field. Our troupe has contributed to the exciting sideshow, football, basketball, concerts, band, officers, and clubs. To one of our largest audiences we gave the "Coronation Ball". After its success came our first big show, "Father of the Bride", a hilarious comedy. Soon after becoming the highest division under the "Big Top"--Seniors, we put on our second big show, the Senior Play. Under the supervision of our able officers--Austin Prindle, Treasurer, Louis Wood, Vice-President, and Bill Young, President, the tickets went fast to our best and final presentation, Graduation. U on this lorious da , we all bade farewell to the cast with whom we'd made friends in the ast P 9 Y P five years, and emerged ready to enter the biggest production of all--"The Greatest Show on Earth."

On the first play-off scrimmage at Kezar Stadium "Bull" McKinney started around right end, fumbled, and Buddy Rogers grabbed the ball in mid-air and rambled 60 yards for the first touchdown. After this the Cougar offense never stopped. A much-improved line sent halfback Charlie McDonald into the end zone twice and "Bull" McKinney once. Don McFadin broke last year's season record in this game, con- verted twice, making the total 26. All this, added to aggressive defensive play, started the season off right. ALBANY 'I9 - ST. MARY'S 0 Albany next met St. Mary's on the Cougar Field for the City Championship. This was billed as a grid natural because of the eveness of the teams. Albany surprised everyone including St. Mary's, by opening up with a terrific passing attack. The first scoring drive came through the sharp passing of Charlie Borreani to Ron Hansen and Charlie McDonald early in the second quar- ter. The Cougars moved the ball from their 47 to St. Mary's 10, finally giving Charlie McDonald the scoring chores to lead 6 to 0. The next time we got the ball Charlie McDonald scored again, and the gun sounded for the half. Don McFadin kicked the extra point. From then on it was all the Cougars' game, with McKinney going to the end zone for another score. St. Mary's threatened once, moving ball to Albany's 7. But when the chips were down, St. Mary's couldn't get around Bobbie Thomas, end. Other line standouts were Ed Lewis and Red Watts, whose key block sent Mc- Donald into the end zone for the second score. ALBANY 'I3 - ANTIOCH 26 A A Albany opened league play against a highly-touted Antioch. Antioch's heavy line and T powerful backfield proved too much for the Cou- '. 2' F " gars. Albany sent McKinney into the end-zone 'iff once, and Ron Hansen caught a pass for the other score. But, try as they might, they could not match the scoring of B. J. Hill. ALBANY 20 - MT. DIABLO 39 Albany, in this game, looked as though they were going to walk away with the big one. The speed of Charlie McDonald scored two Coaches Craige Orlieb 8. Charles Clarke I . X V94 I 1 ? Y Z c at T T - xy lb ,J 4 5 I . Z 9? touchdowns, and the short yardage of power blasts by "Bull" McKinney, scored another, putting the Cougars, with two McFadin conversions, at a 20 to 12 lead at half time. But the two-platoon system of Diablo and the loss of Parrino, star linebacker, didn't help the Cougars. The Devils' line came back like a tiger, and their backfield out-scored our lead. The brilliant play of "Hurricane" Higgins on a 68 yard punt return, and two bootlegs by Q. B. Mari McKean, left the Cougars on the bottom of a 39 to 20 game. ALBANY 20 - ACALANES 'I2 Sparked by "Bull" McKinney and Charlie McDonald, and the passing arm of Q. B. Charlie Borreani, the Albany Cougars upset the Acalanes Dons for their first league victory. Charlie Mc- Donald scored three touchdowns, and Don McFadin kicked two conversions. Outstanding was the Senior Tackle Ernie Schorsch, who was 48 minute-man captain for the game. Linemen, Don Pihl and Ed Lewis and fullback, "Bull" McKinney, stood out on defense. ALBANY 'I3 - ALHAMBRA I9 Albany, in its worst game of the season, was upset by Alhambra. Albany was behind 'I9 to 0 when they realized what had happened. McDonald and Borreani scored one apiece, but we could never get across the tieing touchdown, even from the two yard line. Albany was also hit hard by losing Cliff Oiala, tackle, and Ed Lewis, guard, via the injury route. ALBANY 6 - PITTSBURG 'l2 Albany could not catch a fast Pittsburg team, although we got the breaks. Our passing bogged down so Center Don Pihl and guards, Mickey Kerr and John DeMello opened gapping holes in the Pitt line to let McKinney through. Again it was Charlie McDonald ramming over for the score. Joe Dorsey, who was out in the middle of the season, and shifted to halfback, was an- other star. He blanketed the Pitt passing at- tack, saving Albany twice by interceptions. ALBANY 8 - JOHN SWETT 6 Albany hit a rain-soaked field for its last game.

'Q"'r1-5-szarflfi, 1 WY' 0 junior Varsity Sfwfbnll 1953 This year Albany's constantly improving J. V. football team played one of the best seasons in its history. Their record of two wins, two ties, and four losses is now onthe record books. If our J. V.'s keep improving this way, maybe some day big things are coming. Three big seasons for this year's success were: first, the excellent coaching of Coach William Savage. Mr. Savage came to us recently from Nevada, where he was coach, and will also handle the varsity track chores in the spring. Second, was a heavier line in almost every position, and third, a faster backfield, led by a cagey little quarterback, Jim Donahue. Although meeting bigger and heavier lines from other schools, our line held its own. Standouts were guards, Bill Togolini and Bob McNulty, center, Ernest Chapman, tackles, Rich Masuero and Fred Wol- ters, and ends, Don Keller and Jim MacManus. Backfield speedsters were: Bill Peoples, Fullback, John Hunter, Art Blunt and Kurt Freeman, halfbacks. All this put together by Donahue might mean the answer to more depth on the varsity next year. s Speaking of next year, Coach Savage feels that with an earlier start with the full squad that a better team will be developed.

Coach Ortlieb, with ALL-CCCAL Joe Dorsey, Charley Borreani and Charley McDonald back, filled out the team with Ron Hansen and Bill Larsen from last year's "B's". This high-powered team terrorized the league and finished with a 15-l record, four full games ahead, and were again invited to the Tournament of Champions. Albany, changed to the fast break and press style of play, had for the first time in a long while a power- ful bench crew, headed by "Bull " McKinney, Fred lbsen, Buddy Rogers, and Ron Brenner. Coach Ortlieb was able to substitute down to the fifteenth man several times during the season, even giving the reservesa chance to start and win a qame on their own. Albany set a prep scoring record for northern California with lO8 digits against Pleasant Hills and also Craige Ortlieb 'E 1 had the best offense and defense scoring marks in the league. The following honors were earned by our leading players. Joe Dorsey -team co-captain, lst team all-county, league 2nd highest scorer, team high point man. Ron Hansen - lst team all-county, league 4th high scorer. Charles McDonald - team co-captain, 3rd team all-county, co-holder of Most Valuable Player for '54. Charles Borreani - all-county honorable mention and co-holder of Most Valuable Player for '54, Albany, with several factors working against them such as iniuries and colds, did not do as well as ex- pected in the Tournament of Champions, losing to St. Mary's fAlbanyl the first night, beating Palo Alto the second, and losing to Chico in the consolation trophy game played at the U. C. Men's Gym on March ll, l2, 81 l3. In '54 the Cougars had the best team ever entered into league play. The loss of many seniors will hit Albany hard next year. But with Ron Hansen and Bill Larsen back from the first team and Bill Young, Don Pihl, Bull McKinney and Dick Day from reserves, Coach Ortlieb with the help of the "B's", should enter a tough team in league play next year.

The ninth graders didn't look too promising, but they finally improved enough to turn the trick. The Cougars ended the season tied in second place. This year the "netmen" are more experienced. Three outstanding players are Mickey Kerr, Eugene Serex, and David Bruce. Mickey played number two spot last year. His quick thinking and control should put him high in contention for number one man. Eugene has great form and is pretty to watch. He is expected to hold down a top spot. David has lots of speed, coupled with ability to make impossible shots seem easy, which makes him look like a great player. Swimming w K... . 'S 11- :--.w my "r'fg,!,.

With their donations, they showed their support of Albany High School through greatly helping finance our yearbook. We would like to thank each of them personally, but since that would be impossible, we print their names here for all to see. We can find no adequate way of expressing our appreciation, but we hope you will---by patronizing them. Bill Dublin was responsible for bringing in many of the pledges, and he deserves our heartfelt thanks too. Diane Werronen--Editor A. 8- H.
