This subiect ottered the opportunity tor the student to study society, the individual, and his re- lation and responsibility to others. ln order to malce way tor study ot so- ciology, the year's course in problems ot American government had to be shortened to one semester. The stu- dents in the world history classes have attempted to understand the present world by studying the past history ot many nations. Tolerance, the exchange ot ideas, a teeling ot mutual respect, and social, political, industrial and economic problems and progress ot nations have been emphasized. The object ot the United States history course has been to acquaint the students with the historical background, problems, and general developments ot their own country. Each student has been Miss Nunvar's Angels in social studies A busy social science class encouraged to familiarize himself with various phases of his chosen vo- cation by doing research and report- ing his results to the class. ln some of the social studies I classes, re- quired of all freshmen, an organiza- tion called the New Citizens of Grossmont has been formed which practiced the fundamentals of democratic living. Increasing use of motion pictures and historical rec- ords has been made by the depart- ment as a whole. Panel discussions, used in most social studies classes, have given all students an opportun- ity for expressing themselves in an orderly fashion. On the social side, an All-Freshman Get-Together party, held February 25 featured dancing musical numbers, and games. ln- structors in the social studies depart- ment, are Miss Elizabeth Peters, chairman, Mr. John Crippen, Mr. An- dy Smith, Mr. John Cornelius, Mr. Samuel Van Note, Mrs. Gertrude Wallis, Mrs. Laura Joy Ingram, Miss Beulah Shriver, Miss Eleanor Nunvar, Miss Jean McLeod, and Miss Arlene Blumenthal.

In none of the defeats handed Grossmont, was the opponents score embarrassingly large. The significance of this is that it shows the team was good on defensive action. l-lowever, defensive action alone, as testified by this season's results, will not win football games. Grossmont was not outstanding on the gridiron this year because we did not score a single point in any league game. The reason for this poor showing was that the best players gradu- ated or were called into the service. Because of this fact the l943 team was with the exception of four letter men, composed of determined, inexperienced players. Yet in spite of our depleted condition, our team was strong enough to face all of our gridiron foes and put up a strong fight. ln...- W, Freshmen-Snphnmure Team When football practice began in the fall, the turnout of players was so large that it would have been impossible to train by means of the usual set up. To malce certain that everyone got the riqht amount of practice, the Freshman-Sophomore team was or ganized. As implied by its name, most of the team consisted of freshmen or sopho- mores, althouqh there were a few juniors. All of the members of the team were unfa- miliar with football and they were taught and allowed to practice the fundamental tactics. lt is throuqh the freshman-sophomore team that Grossmont hopes to build some qood players for use in future seasons. wgmwrrvaw murmuring WMV K1 First row: D.

The sole game they lost was to San Diego High. In the minor divis on ot the Victory League, composed ot the schools ot the old Metropolitan League, the B's came out as champs. Six schools played in the minor division, and Grossmont decisively trounced every one. The average number ot points made by all the schools in the Vic- tory League, per game, was 26. Our B's averaged 32 points per game, which shows that they were really in the groove this season. C BASKETBALL TEAM-First row: A. Griffin, P. D BASKETBALL TEAM-First row: L, Ward, G, Strong, H.

This year's Class A cindermen made an excellent showing for themselves by near- ly taking the Victory League championship. Grossmont started the season on the wrong toot by losing the first meet to l-loover. Atter getting their I944 bearing, the Foothillers systematically cleaned up on Kearny 87 to I5, Sweetwater 74 to 30, Cor- onado 79 to 25, Point Loma 62 to 42, and San Diego 54 to 50. The most exciting as well as the closest meet ot the season was with San Diego. where we took first, second and third place to make this contest the best ot the season. Our A team was assisted in most ot the meets by some outstanding Class B spike- sters. Among these was Benny Maniscalco, who held down the IOO and 220 yard dashes for the A's without any A assistance. Don Nelson, who tallied over 70 points, was high point man in the A division. Gilbert Martin and Nevin Freeman distin- guished themselves by breaking the school records tor the shot-put and high jump re- spectively.

The outcome ot this meet, of course, cannot be included in this summary ot the B and C traclc seas- on. Our I944 B and C track teams maintained Grossmont's traditionally good show- ing in these divisions. Downed in good order by our B's and C's were l-loover, Kearny, Sweetwater, Coronado, San Diego, and Point Loma . The B and C teams trimmed all their opponents by such large margins that some ot the meets were scarcely co-ntests. ln the C division, Grossmont defeated Kearny 76 to I. Closely behind were the B's who walloped Kearny 86 to 9. Class C events were the 50 yard dash, I00 yard dash, I20 yard law hurdles, 660 yard run, 440 yard relay, high jump, broad jump, pole vault, and the shotput. Our B's participated in the l00 and 200 yard dashes, the l20 and 70 yard hurdles, the broad jump, the shot put, the pole vault, the high jump, the 440 yard relay and the I320 and 660 yard runs.

The greatest value ot inter- class tootball is that it provides a way ot spotting prospective gridiron stars. Every boy can try out tor interclass tootball and the eleven best players in each gym class malce the team tor that particular period. When the best ot the interclass teams has been tound, we may be sure that in that team there is superior tootball ability. eau-S n Shutei Lorfdine C H on.v0 l.iai we ' Wee.

La C PPenD VISOR n . Ha f Adyuor llutstandinq Letterman nf 1944 Richard Andersen- Andy has earned more letters than any other boy at Grossmont. Four track letters and three basketball letters have given him a total of seven. Playing forward in A basketball this year, Andersen was the second highest scorer on the team. During his first three years of track, Andy specialized exclusively in the high jump, but was outstanding in both the high 1 jump and mae high hurdles this year. Jerry Ki ey-For two ears Jerr has been the backbone of Grossmontfs outstarfding tennis Q 9s team. l-lis name has been at the top of the lad- Q der during his junior and senior years. Kibbey has been a real net man ever since his freshman year when he went to the finals in the junior divi- .5 sion of the Ink Tournament, this year he took first jx place in the Senior boys' division. Gilbert Martin-Six feet two and two hundred pounds is a real athlete. Although only a junior, Gill has already earned six letters. l-le is a two-year letterman in tennis, track and bas- ketball. Gilbert has demonstrated outstanding and equal ability in each of his three sports. l-le won the junior division of the Ink Tournament when he was a freshman, was high point man on this year's basketball team, and broke the school shot put record by three feet. Don Nelson-Without a doubt Don has been the most valuable man on Grossmont's i944 varsity track team. l-le was our best entry in the low hurdles, broad jump, and the pole vault. Nelson was good for fifteen points in most of the track meets. For three years Nelson has con- sistently taken first place in the broad jump. l-le has been high point man in two interclass track meets. Bob Sancllin-Bob has the distinction of being the only three year football letterman at C-rossmont this year. Ever since he was a sophomore, Sandlin has held down the left end of C5rossmont's varsity line. This year Bob was the only player on the team who had more than a year of first string experience. Roger Mcspadden-Roger was the sparkplug of the B Basketball team. l-fe has been one of C5rossmont's most outstanding cagers for three years. In his junior year, McSpadden scored more points than any other class B basketball player in the Varsity League. Before baseball was discontinued due to wartime conditions, Ro- , . ger was one of Grossmo-nt's best center fielders. A This year our C and D teams both played Y I about ten games. They were really on the X beam as is disclosed by their winning games at a better than two to one ratio. It is in the C and -X D teams which furnish Grossmont's future stars with practice and experience. Most of the mem- , S4 J bers of the varsity five at one time played s sv' either C or D basketball. Our C's and D's pro- gressed under the watchful eye of Coach Bill Q OOQQQA ec . X K Due to limited travel because of the war, some Y 6 N of C and D teams of nearby schools were played more than once.
