The staff of the LIMELIGHT was headed by two hard working co-editors, Yvonne Bergen and Anna Kovaleff. Harry Hahn, who was in charge of business and sales, reported that over 7lO books were sold in the Fall. However, the staff still had to watch the budget very carefully. The divisions were co-ordinated by their various chairmen, Boys' sports division was headed by Norton Pearl, girls' sports by Marilyn Patterson, senior personalities sketches were compiled by Rita Patterson, while class sections were ar- ranged by Janice Hungerford for the iuniors, Sue Clark for the Sophomores, and Diana Baker for the freshmen. Walt Whit- man was in charge of the large activities section. The associate editors, Connie Gomperts, Sylvia Jackson, Marion Patterson, Carol Simonson, and the members of the committees worked very hard throughout the year at many after-school and evening sessions to make the LIMELIGHT a hit. To the Photo commission and the artists goes much of the credit for a more interesting and colorful book. Marion Pat- terson made all the little panthers, and Norton Pearl shot many of the pictures found in the book. However, we could never have completed this yearbook had it not been for the patient and friendly counsel of our advisor and the best worker on the staff, Mr. Walsh. 2 W4 X i .

Zum In '49, the Panther Kittens came through a successful season with three wins, three losses, and one tie in league competition. Hank Lloyd, assisted by Rand Hunt, coached the team that will comprise part ot next year's varsity squad. The most exciting and yet the most heartbreaking game this year was the one with San Mateo. Marching close to the San Mateo goal the Kittens lost the ball twice and the game ended in a scoreless tie, Some of the standouts in this year's play were Joe Gavasse and Leland Johansen at ends, Jim Robertson and Pete Woods at tackles, Carl Roepke and Dale Larson at guards, and Jim Vlassis at center. ln the backtield were Terry Moore and Bruce Montgomery at halves, Jon Shoop at the fullback position, the signal calling posi- tion was shared by Tom Carr and Lowell Weight. qaew, BLJRLINGAME I2 .a.... ,,,,,,,,, B ELLARMINE BURLINGAME 6 ,, ,,,,,,,,,.,,,,,,,,, SEQUOIA BURLINGAME HALF MOON BAY BURLINGAME ,,,,.

The varsity cagemen were coached this year by Elmer Schaake and had returning from last year's team such standouts as Britt Vail, Coley Bresee, Don Bourbin, and Dave McCullough. From the thirties, Coach Schaake gained such hard fighting stars as Chris Vlassis, Larry Mellema, and Gus Suhr. The games were split 50-50, in the thirties class. Highlight of the 30's season was their thrilling victory over San Mateo by the close score of 27 to 26. Doug Gish, who entered the ranks of the team from the lO's was the hero of this game. Coach Hank Lloyd had only two of last year's thirties return to him, Wayne Reither and Clarence Cravallo. Coach Lloyd also acquired four cagemen from last year's lO's and 2O's. They were Doug Warner, Jim Cham- berlin, Gene Toohey, and Bob Righter. Bob Wycoff, Jerry Ridley, Fred Biagini to mention a few, helped lead this valiant team through a successful season.

Success in the 20's was limited to two wins and five losses in league competition, but outstanding work was achieved by an uncoordinated starting squad and the play of Bob Burley and Dan Walters.

Wafer XQJL- wimmzfn The water polo team with the guidance of coach Ken Allen enioyed a fairly successful season, winning games played with San Jose and San Mateo and dropping a pair to Palo Alto and Sequoia. Dick Reyna was chosen all-P.A.L. goalie, while Dick Mercer, Bob Hoopes, Larry Mellema, Barry Goyette, Ted Alexander, and Joe Carboni consistently played a good game. During the season the team also had practice meets with the U. of Cal. Frosh team and the Olympic Club team. This year the swimming team, under Coach Swede Righter, was com- posed mostly of lower classmen. This meant that, although the team was too inexperienced to make much of a showing, next year's will include many veterans and should do very well. The only returning members from the '49 squad were Britt Vail, Dick Mercer, Larry Mellema, and Ronnie May. Britt Vail was the champion for the backstroke in all of Northern Cali- fornia and was the best swimmer the school has produced in many a year. With the help of these boys, our team, in spite of many difficulties, was able dl' f e f. -is ftp, ,, 'Y 0 ,, ' .H to keep up its high spirits. ,yy a5f,,9,+4. 1.4 Q V, 5,4 , j Y 1 4' H 'ffivi , 72 9-3, ., J' Q BACK now: J.

The team fwhich was ac- claimed the best team Blingum has produced in five yearsb, made a good showing in practice meets and was winner of the P.A.L. - an outstanding record. The 30's team was sparked by the speed of Doug Morgan in the 75 and T50 yard dashes and Terry Moore in the 330. Also outstanding on this team were Mike Darling, Bill Wachsmuth, and Ken Marlin. The 20's team had several good track men, including Fred Biagini, Stewart Johnson, Noel Nelson, Jim Van Der Beets, and Ray Smith, who led the team to victory in many events.

SECOND GROUP: Janice Hungerford, Cynthia White, Dave Belew, Ed DeMatei, Stan Harrop. zftrgn mme ecreozfiolfz Qnfer When Burlingame's new Recrea- tion Center was formally dedicated on September 26, 1949, the work of the Student Recreation Council be- gan. This group of students, formerly known as the Blingum Inn Commit- tee, was headed by Clarence Cra- valho, president. Vice president was Carole Wiberg, secretary, Anna Kova- leff, and treasurer, Gayle McLean. Students on the council were chosen as representatives of various organi- zations of Burlingame High School. -' ' ills., Meetings were held every Thursday night in the Teen Lounge under the advisorship of Mr. Aaron Jackson, a member of the Burlingame Recrea- tion Department. Mrs. Agnes Belew was in charge of chaperones for dances. The first activity which the group undertook was to sell memberships. Approximately five hundred were sold at 52.00 each for Burlingame residents and 52.50 for non-resi- dents. Aside from the regular Friday night dances, held when no conflict- ing event prevailed at Burlingame High School, two special dances were held during the fall semester- Sam ta's Sleighride, during the Christmas holidays, and Cupid's Holiday, shortly after St. Valentine's Day, Mr. Al Doering headed a citizens' committee to raise funds in order to furnish the Teen Lounge. These funds consisted largely of donations from the citizens of Burlingame. The iuke box was donated by Mr. R. F. Jones, and Wollmer's music store and the Highland Record Shop in Millbrae supplied the records for it. Officers for the spring semester were: Ed de Matei, president, Stan Harrop, vice president, Janice Hun- gerford, recording secretary, Dave Belew, corresponding secretary, and Cynthia White, treasurer. This group undertook the task of having an opening cut through the fountain in the Teen Lounge to make it possible to walk directly from the auditorium into the lounge. Plans were also dis- cussed for a variety show to be held during the following summer. 39 Junior Statesmen The Junior Statesmen, a group of public minded students, are interested in the affairs of the world today and in how to prepare the road for a more stable and secure government. Under the direction of its officers, Nancy Smith, president, Richard Miller, vice president, Bob Buckles and Dick Cleaver, secretaries, and Bill Bewley, treasurer, the statesmen of Burlingame have sponsored many school activities including the senior faculty basketball game. The group attended the state convention at Sacramento and various local meetings. Drama Commission WM, commissioner, Pat Havens. The fall commission, under Ken Burns casted and produced the foolish and funny play of youth entitled Young April Pat Havens and the spring commission put on the play, Life With Father, in which the redheads of Blingum had an opportunity to display their acting abilities.

They presented two as- semblies to the student body in which they awarded certificates to the members and pre- sented speakers and programs.

Although the Mummers Club had nothing to do with choosing the term plays, a great number of leading roles were taken by Mummers. To be a member ot the organization, one must have had an A in drama, a leading part in a term play, two minor roles in term plays, or must have contributed a great deal in the entertainment field outside of school.

EVELIN BJORGAN Evelin was a loyal mem- ber of the band during her high school days. She was also a member of the Span- ish Club. Evelin has the un- usual and interesting hobby of collecting miniature vases, and has quite a col- lection. Next year she will attend San Mateo J.C.

C, EDWARD ARRIGONI ALLEN DAMERELL CARL FLACH 92 BILL LAUDERBAUGH SALLY STEINDLER In illhtmnrtam We the students of Burlingame High School dedicate this book to the memory of Betty Ann Stitt as a small token of the affectionate regard in which she was held by students and teachers alike. Betty Ann having lived most of her life in California entered Washington Grammar School in the seventh grade. While there she was one of the top ten students in her class, and was so honored by being chosen as a speaker at graduation. She then entered Burlingame High School and became quite active in school affairs. In her freshman year she was a member of the A.G.S. Big and Little Sister Committee and participated in after school sports. In her sophomore year she was a member of the A.G,S, Activities Committee, was active in after school sports, and ioined the Photography Club. Betty Anns activities were not only confined to school affairs. She belonged to Jobs Daughters and was in line to become Honored Queen. Betty Ann would have been on the stage with the rest of the graduating class but though her name is not written on a diploma her memory will be etched in our hearts. Two of her outstanding characteristics were her friendliness and genuine loyalty to her close associates. I know we all remember Betty Ann for her sparkling smile and winning personality, and l'm sure her mem- ory will remain with us always. This life of mortal breath Is but a suburb of the life elysian, Whose portal we call Death.
