Homecoming November 19, 1950, marked the day of our Fifth Annual Homecoming Celebration. The night before a huge rally and bonfire were held at the football field. We burned a Viking dummy and were led in voicing our enthus- iasm for the Hornets by our cheer leaders, Dwight Lamb, Doris Jeanne Lessley and Joyce Henderson. From there everyone went to the auditorium where our band played and pep talks to the team were made by Mr. Cook, and Coach Erickson. Mr. Jack Wilkinson also gave a very amusing talk on the first six-man football team of C.U.H.S. Refreshments prepared by the Homecoming Committee fRose Marie Keele, Janet Pond, and Willa Laynel were then served to everyone. The following evening our C.U.H.S. Hornets played the Holtville Vik- ings. The final score was 34-0, winning for Calipatria. the Junior League Championship along with the title of 'Undefeated and Unscored-upon in our league. . During half-time, our very attractive and popular Homecoming Queen, La Rae Hubert, was crowned and presented with a dozen red roses by co- captains Herman Howington and Melchor Abubo. Her attendants -were Rose Marie Keele and Janet Pond. A dance sponsored by the Senior class climaxed a most exciting even- ing for everyone. Willa Lee Layne was chairman for Homecoming. She did a great job. Mr. Jack Wilkinson loaned his convertable for the entire celebration. It was used for carrying the Queen, La Raeg her two attendants, Janet and Rose Marieg and the Co-Captains, Melchor and Herman, in the Arm- istice Day Parade in Calipatria. Again it was used for the rally the afternoon of the game, and at the Crowning the night of the game. This year, we feel that Our Homecoming Celebration was more of a success because more Alumni attended. Too, the program was highlight- ed by Jack Wilkinsons' clever talk. We hope that even more Alumni will return to their Alma Mater at future celebrations. 'P'-iviiy?

I-'00T80ll The 1950 Football season got off to a slow start this year. Due to cer- tain difficulties, We didn't go to Idylwild. We started practicing only one week before the beginning of school. We were handicapped at the first of the season because several of the players were unable to perform to the best of their ability due to bad ankles and a series of sprains. However, the first game started off with a real bang!!! The Hornet's ,first opponents were Douglass. The team felt the grip of uncertaintyg but with the aid of strong defensive playing, they held the Douglass elev- en scoreless. At the climax of the game the score was 26-0. The following week the Yuma team played on the Calipat field which 'was much to our liking because of what happened in the Arizona town last season. It was a hard-played game throughout, and the final score was 13-0. , On the date of October 19th, the Hornets ventured to the border town, Calexico, to apply their defensive skill to the passing offensive of the Bull-pups. They wrapped up a total of 21 points against Calexico. Then the Subs took over and held the Bull-pups 'til near the end, when Calexico threatened to score and the defensive team went black to finish the game 21-0. By this time, the Hornets were growing more and more confident, and they were scheduled to meet the Imperial Tigers. With the aid of Mr. Cook and Mr. Erickson, the Hornets discovered that the Imperial team was playing twelve of their Varsity players. But this didn't discourage the Calipat team, it only built up their anticipation for the game. The Hornets stung the Imperial combination of Varsity and Junior Varsity and at the end of the game the score was 20.0. The next game was expected to be a hard-fought and close game. But with the hard running on the part of the Calipatria back field and the hard tackling and blocking of our line, which the coach had drilled us on for the past weeks, they tra.mpled the Brawley Wildcats, 27-0. ' The cinching game for the Championship was in store for the Hornets when they journeyed to meet the E-1 Centro Bonecrushers. It looked bad for the Hornets during the first half ofthe game. But after one of Coach Erickson's famous pepetalks C'you knot-heads J they made a great come- back, defeating the Bonecrushers 13-0.
