The staff entered the iournalism class all set to continue printing the paper. But alasl, there were not enough CVites putting forth dollars for sub- scriptions, and the first issue came out as a dog-eared mimeographed presentation. But then the good fortune started. A mimeographed paper didn't appeal to the Student Council or the Arab Spirits, in fact, it made them down- right mad. So the council voted S100 and launched a campaign that gar- nered enough subscribers to assure a printed paper. staff really buckled Then the down and put out a paper. The edi- tion that had the April Fool all C.V. howling was issue, ARAB SNOOZE. Valuable assistance was given by Harry Woolpert and by Carol Baty. Annette Thibault doubled as reporter, typist, and bookkeeper. Rita Yoxsimer and others in the ARAB NEWS Club, which was sponsored by the staff, also assisted as reporters and keepers of the files. Mrs. Leonora Furr was advisor. BETTY KELTING, page 3 editor Q92

NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE Left to right: Nora Neal, Harry Woolpert, Bill Porter, Hatton Adams. Composed of CV's top orators, the National Forensics League had a busy year. Debaters from the club attended the Student Congress at San Bernardino, the Citrus Belt League Student Congress at River- side, All-League Debate Tourna- ment at U.S.C., the Student Con- gress at Los Angeles and many other debates held in Southern Cal- ifornia. Officers of the National Foren- sic League were: Nora Neal, presi- dent, Harry Woolpert, vice-presi- dent, Hatton Adams, secretary, and Bill Porter, treasurer. Mrs. Julia Yensen was club sponsor. The Forensics Club was com- posed of members from NFL and novices who were interested not only in becoming eventual mem- bers ot the national speech society but also in improving their own power of expression. As soon as some snow tell on Idyllwild, the speakers came out from behind their rostrum and headed for the mountains. The group also made a trip to Red- lands to hear a debate between Banning and Redlands. On March 21, club members journeyed to the annual Speech Festival at Red- lands. During April several Foren- sics Clubbers took part in a debate at Colton. CV sent delegates to the Student Congresses held at River- side and Banning high schools. The club had tentative plans for other speech activities as the year drew to a close. Mrs. Julia Yensen was sponsor of the speech club, Dan Moore, president, Bob Walker, vice-presi- dent, Norma Neal, secretary, and Marjorie Conaway, treasurer.

Pri k f El N PHOTOGRAPHY - Left to right: ROW 'l: Jim Jackson, Tony Freeman Mary Allison Barbara Allen, Guy Richardson. ROW 2: Charlene Larkin, Winn Moore Bob Roman With the school year of 1952-53 rapidly coming to a close, the Annual Staff, after nine months of arduous work and many anguished wails, is proud to present your La Conchilla. We tried to cover all facets of school life as com- pletely as possible, only time and you, the reader, can tell us if our efforts were successful. Harry Woolpert assumed the task of editor-in-chief and stuck bravely to the demanding iob until the last pages of the annual were mailed in mid-April and the last proofs read. At his right hand was Mrs. Lea- nora R. Furr, coordinator, who bore the onslaught of too much to do in too little time quite manfully. The art work was done by Editor Nancy Schisler, who made the layouts, trimmed pictures, and meas- ured copy. Assistance came from Pauline Chiriaco, who drew the cover design, Julie Scott, who was Nancy's number one boy and Allen Thibault, who did the cartooning and lettering. Business Manager Carolyn Brumwell, often work- ing under difficult circumstances, was unflagging in discharged all her duties, especially that of selling sufficient advertising to finance the book. Annette Thibault kept the books and saw that all the money was safely tucked away in the La Conchilla coffers. Jeanne Yerty kept the advertising records. The sale of La Conchilla was conducted by Jackie Savant, who sat in room 23 many noon periods taking subscribers' money. Editor Harry Woolpert if . .. ,. P fm 5 3 rt?
