There goes the kick-off to four exciting quarters in the high school career of the graduating class of nineteen hundred and thirty-seven. A team of 200 strong greenbacks spring into action. Chuck Turner, stalwart captain, is talking the game over with his team-mates. As the quarter proceeds, they plow through to a grand start. 1934- 35. Here it is already the second quarter and captain-elect, John May, is up before the officials. Their punt formation is shifting into action as they dig their cleats into several activities along the sideline: Hi-Y, Tri-Y, dramatic-makers, basket-makers, and record-breakers. And as they pull play by play, real geniuses are predicted of this outfit of hard-hitting pigskin go-getters. The gun marks the dividing point in the career of these up-and-coming lime-lighters. 1935- 36. The old familiar sound plunges them into the line of scrimmage. Philip Baca is fast becoming an able captain, and, with the aid of his co-captains, Richardson, Senter and Hayashi, they pull a sleeper and take time out for a social whirl, the Junior Theater Party, and brush up on their nightlife by being host to the seniors at the spring Junior Promenade, which ends the third quarter. 1936-37. Philip Baca is back in the field as captain and, under the direction of Coach Ela, the team gets under way with great speed and gain. Signal practices, responding to the warm-ups of John, Billie and Mickey, are more peppy and enthusiastic. The team has gone into the huddle and here they come with the Colorado State Football Championship. The game goes on and the time is called by the staunch ball-carriers to play host to the underclassmen at the Theater Party and to attend the white Christmas Promenade. The quarter is drawing to an end; they take a flying tackle at Slouch Day and make a center plunge to a grandstand play. As the time-keeper raises the gun that ends the game, the team of 1937 marches down the home field to score their last touchdown and to receive the pigskin—graduation and the diploma. Page 24
