Ford, superintendent of schools the Board of Education meets twice a month to provide Glendale youth with better educational opportunities. The term of the above board expired in April, and the new board includes Mrs. James Buchanan, Mrs. Bernard C. Brennan, Dr. Arthur L. Hudson, and Mr. Clency Hasbrouck. MR. WILLIAM E. McDONALD Principal In the two years since he gave up history teaching to become Hoover's principal, Mr. William E. McDonald has endeared himself to the students as a true friend—one who will always listen to troubles, who will offer helpful advice, and who guides the school firmly but gently in the paths of the best Hoover traditions. Not only does he serve as adviser to the Cabinet, but he also gives his support to the students by attending school activities and athletic events. His cheerful spirit, his understanding nature, and his con- sideration for everyone combine to make Mr. McDonald the kind of a principal every school should have. VICE PRINCIPALS Not only does she serve as vice principal for all the girls of the school, but Miss Frances Jackson also has charge of the counselors' office, acts in an advisory capacity to the Girls' League Board and the Girls' Service Club, and is helpful in guiding all class officers in the completion of worthwhile projects. At gradu- ation time her work is increased as she cheer- fully assists with Commencement activities. Her friendly attitude and her experienced advice are even more important to the students than the official duties which she so capably performs. In true Hoover spirit she proclaims. Hoover, because of the students, is the best school in the world. Because of his understanding and genuine interest in school affairs. Hooverites are proud of their vice principal. Mr. Otho A. Pettyjohn. Changing from head of the Science Department five years ago to the office he now holds, he has proved no’t only a capable leader, but a friend as well. He acts in an advisory capacity for the Boys' League, the Boys' Service Club, the Student Council, and the Campus and Cor- ridors Committee. � As loyal a Hooverite as any of the students, he says with twinkling eyes and a genial smile. I wouldn't trade Hoover for any school in the country. MISS FRANCES E. JACKSON MR. OTHO A. PETTYJOHN anruiwii «3CP� - FACULTY Top Row. 1. Mr. ChcWr Sanderson. Science Department Head; Mr. A. B. C.

GOVERNMENT PRESIDENTS CABINETS GIRLS’ LEAGUE BOYS' LEAGUE COUNCILS BOB MARGETT President I Holding the reins as Student-Body President during the first semester was fun-loving Bob Margett. Originally a carefree individual and “one of the boys. Bob proved to be an able and efficient executive. Un- afraid of the new and original, he instigated a drive for the snack period, and it's no secret that it was a big success and a welcome relaxation in the daily grind. The versatility of this energetic fellow did not end with Student-Body President. He was also captain of the Varsity track team, and an able member of the Boys’ League Board. Representing Hoover at the Boys' State Convention in Sacramento, Bob again showed his genial personality and his ability as a statesman. His jokes—well, anyway, they added variety. Bob typifies Hoover at its best. MARTY BULLOCK President II TaKINC over in the school spotlight as second semester Student- Body President was Marty Bullock, our quiet but efficient headman.” Marty began his political career as Boys’ League President, and, as is evident, leaped to even bigger things when he assumed leadership of the Cabinet. During his administration. Hoover's Executive Board joined the League of Student Councils, worked for a civic recreation program for teen agers, and drew plans to revive colorful Fiesta Day. Versatile and capable, his interests were not limited to the sphere of govern- ment, as he was a member of the victorious Tornado football team. With his amiable, modest personality, Marty has lived up to Hoover’s highest traditions.

The Board not only pro- moted cooperation and friendliness among the girls at Hoover, but also fostered inter-school spirit with Glendale High, which was furthered by inviting the ’crosstown Board to a Christ- mas dessert party.

A new office, that of Chairman of Boys' Sports, was added to the 'original nine and was capably filled by Bob Smeland. WARREN HART President RONALD HERZOC Chairman During the first semester the Student Coun- cil was headed by dependable, popular Ronald Herzog. Dick Schmidt and Nancy Campbell were elected to serve with him. Because of their interest and participation in school af- fairs. Diane McAdams and Bob Slater were selected to complete this five-man board. Meeting each week in the Cabinet room, the Council earnestly performed its duty, that of hearing student offenders, judging them, and imposing just punishment. STUDENT COUNCIL I NANCY CAMPBELL DICK SCHMIDT DIANE McADAMS BOB SLATER STUDENT COUNCIL II DIANE McADAMS Chairman Efficient, friendly Diane McAdams headed this organization during the spring semester. Elected to serve with her were Betty Martini and Blythe Triplett, while Bob Barley and Danny Street were appointed to this body by the Cabinet. Accepted as one of the most important groups in student government, these officers, with their adviser, Mr. Otho Petty- john. worked to maintain traditional standards and to keep the Council functioning as a model of democratic procedure.

Helping to pro- mote activities for the group were dependable Tom McGregor as vice president, sparkling Perry Houghton as secretary, and enthusi- astic Carolyn Farris as treasurer.

CREW USHERS BOOKSTORE BANK LIBRARY PAT CAMERON Editor -in- Chief Determination to bring you a better-than- ever Scroll brought staff members to work day and night, six days a week, and even part of Easter vacation. Heading this energetic group was capable Pat Cameron, who did a bang-up job of planning, supervising, and car- rying out all phases of the production. Francis McMahon, serving as associate edi- tor and as head of senior appointments, was a key figure in every part of the enterprise. Gayle Fleager. assistant editor, always was ready and willing to help with whatever she was asked to do. One of the most diligent members was Vivian Arvig. who typed all the senior honors and worked many hours cutting, pasting, and checking pictures. Shirley Fields. Aleene Barnes, and Beverly Bock also gave much time, doing a multitude of interminable tasks. To Clarke Masters goes the sincere thanks of the entire staff for the truly fine job he did in taking, developing, and printing the great majority of pictures in this Scroll ; and to Miss Mildred Hall, the adviser, goes more than all the thanks in the world for her encourage- ment, effort, time, and help.

Carolyn Dunn, editor, was largely responsible for the excellent work turned out by these thirteen students, for it was her initiative and executive ability that kept them always reaching for their star. Pat Knight did a commendable job as second-page editor, putting much interest and variety into the copy; Jim Irving, striving for improvement in each issue, found many ways of enlivening the third page; and Dave Dawson did a superb job of complete coverage in the sports field.

Instituting new ideas and striving to make the Purple Press the best ever were the members of the second-semester staff, with Marilyn (Rusty) Brown as editor. Combined with Rusty's originality, pep. and hard work were the cooperative efforts of the whole twenty-man group. Able assistants were Bev Bock, who tried to inject liveliness and per- sonality into the features on the second page; and Don Dewberry, who MARILYN BROWN Editor II put much of his full-of-fun spirit into the third page. Sports Editor Vince Dundee. Randy Blakeley, and Jerry Corby worked as a unit to turn out some fine sports copy; while quiet but efficient Evelyn Hansen contributed a great deal to the paper's success by her careful proofreading. PURPLE PRESS II PLAY PRODUCTION St HtAvtN’ Order Their “Seventh Heaven”, the first production of the year, under the capable management of Mrs. Edna Mae Wells, faculty director, and Charlotte Long, student director, was a highly dramatic production, entertaining for both cast and audience. Charlotte Beall and Rex Reason played the leading roles, while outstanding supporting performances were given by Dolores Alvarado and Bob Hamilton, who played character parts.

Once again Hoover turned to the tuneful operettas of Victor Herbert and presented to capacity houses “The Red Mill. Although this colorful musical was given here in 1940. it was repeated because of its great popular- ity. becoming the fourteenth annual Hoover operetta. More than 1 50 students from the A Cap- pella. Girls’ Glee, rhythm classes, stage crew, home economics classes, and the orchestra worked together to make this an outstanding production. Lewis Honnen.

SHOW FIESTA QUEEN Well known on Hoover's campus for her friendly manner, winning smile, and sweet personality. Shirley Seidel, after leading the student body in song for two years, again came out on top when the senior boys elected her to be their queen. ESCORT Famous for his smile, cooperative spirit, and hard work, attributes which speak for themselves. Bob Margett reached the pinnacle again when he was picked by the senior girls as their choice for the queen’s escort. ATTENDANTS BETTY SCHROEDER, with her friendly, happy attitude as royal requirements for her high position, will long be remembered as the queen's first attendant. TOM McCRECOR. known for his sportsman- ship on the football field and his willingness to cooperate in school activities, was selected as second attendant to the queen’s court. DOLORES ALVARADO, recognized on the campus for her attractive appearance and dra- matic ability will be remembered for her vari- ous characterizations in school productions. V BOB WHITE, known primarily as Hoover's outstanding football star, whose good looks and pleasing manner rightfully earned him a place on the royal court, is one of the most admired persons on the campus. DOLORES HOLMES is the true Miss Popu- larity with her good looks and pleasing dis- position. She has captured the hearts of all the senior boys. SAM NICHOLSON, one of Hoover’s most cooperative students, is admired for his out- standing athletic ability in track and his sin- cere friendliness toward all. ATTENDANTS SENIOR PROM With the popular song ‘ The Old Lamp- lighter as its theme, this prom was the suc- cessful and beautiful accomplishment of the hardworking members of the Senior Class. Patterned after an old English town, the dec- orations featured quaint shops with thatched roofs, lighted street lamps, and fir trees and greens covered with simulated snow. Over 300 couples attended to dance to the music of Muzzy Marcellino and to see lovely Joyce Quackenbush crowned as queen of the 1947 Senior Prom. JOYCE QUACKENBUSH Senior Prom Queen The enchanting story of the “Wizard of 0z“ was used as the basis for the brilliant and gay decorations for the “Make-Believe Junior Prom held June 6. With the bandstand all done up as a castle and the walls covered with paintings of characters from the story. Chairman Freddy Camp and her decoration committee really transformed the girls’ gym into a world of fantasy. Others who deserve special credit for the success of the event are Nancy Campbell, general chairman; Bob Riley. Bev Agnew. and Marianne Millard, committee heads. JUNIOR PROM Howdy day With “g e t- t i n g a c - quainted as the theme. “Howdy D a y’ name tags and all. went off suc- cessfully according to true Hoover tra- dition. According to custom on this day, each girl ‘'bags'' a boy and is his slave for the occa- sion. carrying to class his boows and any other para- phernalia he can find. Af- ter school a dance is held in the girls' gym to cli- max the affair. A prize-winning stunt was given by the C.A.A. Board, as were skits representing the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. As guests of Hoover, members of the Glendale High Girls’ League Board were enter- tained at the party. Serving as judges to determine the most unusual outfit, they selected Betty Jane Kerseg as winner. As a climax to the day a stunt was enacted by the Girls' League Board of Hoover, after which refreshments of doughnuts and sundaes were served. Carrying out tradition, the Girls’ League Board sponsored the ever-popular Slack Day. Pedal pushers and slacks were the outfit’’ worn by all girls purchasing a Slack Day ticket. To top off the event, a special program attended by all those participating in the day was presented by the Board after school in the gym. DRAFT DANCE With Diane McAdams as chairman of the event, the Cabinet sponsored the annual Draft Dance in February. Selecting the theme of “Two Silhouettes.” committees worked to make the decorations colorful and impressive. Following the Valentine mode, hearts bearing the names of couples attending the dance lined the walls. To furnish the music for this gala affair, Chuck Croft and his Mel-O-Airs were engaged by the Cabinet. A reverse in the usual order found the girls issuing the invitations and the boys wearing corsages, which ranged from humorous arrangements of garden vegetables to suitable boutonnieres. The C.R. “Magic Carpet” landed in Hay- hurst Hall March 14 when the fourth annual Girl Reserve Variety Show was presented. Tri-Y opened the performance with a color- ful portrayal of the Magic Carpet” theme. Winning acts included the Limehouse Blues” dance, by Cir H. and Hi Tri’s Spanish Bull Fight. “The Ole Swimmin' Hole.” by H Tri- Y; Dance of the Gypsies, Blu Tri; Gamma Rho's Jungle Fantasy”; and the French act. Bas de Soie.” by Cir Blu. were others. These presentations, in accordance with the theme, represented different lands and their customs. G.R.

BOARD GIRLS’ SPORTS GIRLS' H ; rx; PORTER THOMPSON JERRY CLEMENT KENNY STAUB COACHING STAFF JERRY CLEMENT, head football mentor, making his return debut as successful as one coach could desire, fash- ioned a pack of green prospects into possibly the smoothest working football team Hoover has yet had. Clement’s boys, after taking two reverses in the first two outings, came back to win every one of the remaining tilts scheduled. KENNY STAUB, fiery little alumnus of Hoover, was ever-ready to aid Coach Clement last football season in his role of assistant turf mentor. Staub readily showed the way of good fundamentals to his and Clement’s charges. PORTER THOMPSON, Hoover’s varsity basketball guide, clearly indicated that quality of product is definitely essential to continuing success. Finishing third in Foothill League standings may not sound high of praise, but when one considers that less than a dozen points in the right places would have won top spot, that is a mighty heartbreaking third position. SPARKY WILSON, one of Hoover’s hardest-working coaches, again threw a formidable array of hitting, fielding, and pitching power full into the face of the enemy. “Sparky’s record, indeed, is one to which all Hoovcrites point with pride and affection. “Practice makes perfect,” seems to be this mentor’s motto, for, armed thusly, his charges have continu- ally powdered Purple foes. “SPARKY” WILSON VIC” FRANCY HOWARD BUTTERFIELD CLINTON CROW VIC” CAMERON COACHING STAFF VIC FRANCY, often called the state’s best high school track coach, has set a record to verify his ability which makes mere words sound trite in his praise. The record on dual meets since his entry into this institution in 1929 stands at a better than ten to one win ratio. This takes in approxi- mately 350 A-B-C track meetings from the initial year. HOWARD NUCOA BUTTERFIELD, at the helm of the Hoover physical education department, had as his responsibility the coordinating of all Purple athletics into a smooth-working unit. In addition to these manifold duties, Coach Butterfield has taken the tennis team in tow and fashioned a nicely-functioning bunch who have downed a considerable number of rivals. CLINTON POP CROW, guiding his lightweight casabans into a thrilling neck-and-neck race for the league pennant, saw his bunch heartbreakingly edged out by Mon- rovia in final standings. A strong second is nothing to be ashamed of, however, and this versatile coach, who has men- tored just about every sport at Hoover, can be well satisfied with the situation. VIC CAMERON, ever ready with an overflowing store of anecdotes from his All-American football days at Idaho, again pulled back the bars from his fierce little Bee football gang and saw them demolish many the bigger enemy, including the Broadway bunch by a spine-tingling 7-6 nose- out. This coach, whose bark is, incidentally, worse than his bite, will long be remembered. SONG and YELL LEADERS PAT SCHMIDT, GERRY MARSHALL, SHIRLEY SEIDEL Alongside the yell kings were the song leaders, popular Shirley Seidel, pert Gerry Mar- shall, and lively Pat Schmidt, who brought out the spirit when it was most needed. Sparkplugs of this year’s ac- tivities were the three yell leaders, peppy Ted Franchino, smooth Chuck Dennis, and en- thusiastic Jerry Gorby. who led the student body in terrific yells that backed and encour- aged hard-fighting football and basketball teams. JERRY CORBY, TED FRANCHINO, CHUCK DENNIS FOOTBALL Spiraling spheres; wild-faced pigskin war- riors, a rumbling turf; pop-eyed officials blowing their hearts out through whistles; a knobby, hunched-over line of bench-warmers; preoccupied coaches pacing a worry-line in front of the reserves; laughing, shouting, intent faces dipping and turning through the bleachers; referees plucking at a swarming ant-hill of tangled players; a backdrop of benevolently frowning mountains gazing aus- terely at the organized chaos . . .

The home team was unwisely picked for cellar posi- tion. but, the next week, pessimists watched a sparkling Purple and White team put up a hard scrap against South Pasadena. As the squad came to life in the second half. Quar- terback Warren Hart and Halfback Bob White led them to the Tiger two-yard line. Bob Smeland scored Hoover’s only T. D. and the tired Tigers ended on top of a hard-earned 12-6 tally. Hooverites followed the Purples to Santa Barbara to witness the locals crowned victors. 32-13. Spectators came to their feet as White grabbed Bob Rondou's ten-yard pass on the Dons’ 45 and scampered across for six d gits. Thus, a six-game winning streak began. Monrovia was the next victim. 13-7; while Covina’s 13-6 defeat presented a demonstration of Hart’s running and Tom Brunton’s blocking. After trouncing Montebello 26-0. they tackled the Burbank Bulldogs 31-7. Although it was unexpected. Hoover finished in second place in the league, with South Pasadena first and Glendale third. Throughout the season, fans looked for individual stars.” They were never found, however, for the Tornadoes’ success lay in their ability to work together as a unit. BACK ROW: Coach Kenny Staub.

The terrible Tornadoes pushed over four touch- downs and three conversions in the fourth quarter to take the game 27 to 7. With the city championship at stake, the fans poured into Gilmore Stadium to watch the somewhat muddy competition. In spite of the rain, this was to be the game of the year, even though the Tornadoes were picked by the prognosticators to be the underdogs and tragic losers of the classic event. The first period rolled by and little action was seen, as no tallies were recorded. Half- time approached, however, accompanied by a 7-0 lead for the Broadway Bombers. Hagen fleetfoots. Smeland is off to the races. Mickey Dunlap Photo GLENDALE-HOOVER GAME GLENDALE-HOOVER GAME Curly Davis gives a lift to a Dynamiter in the Glendale-Hoover battle. It was toward the close of the third period that the aerial attack exploded to surprise the unsuspecting foes, who allowed the Glenwood boys to advance close to their goal. In the final quarter the onslaught came and the yardstick registered ten completions out of thirteen attempts. Each of the 27 points had been made or set up on a pass, the most spectacular being, perhaps, the final toss from Warren Hart to Sunny Hagen, good for about forty yards, seven digits, and the end of an amazing season. Glendale's team showed great overall strength, but were seemingly unprepared for the ability of a vastly underrated Hoover line, as shown by the fact that the only Dyno who could get through the Purple wall was the all-Southern California back.

Bounding into league competition in their second tiff, the little ones were slightly scratched by South Pasadena's Tiger-kitties, 14-13. Evening up their league record in the next outing, a sharp little Monrovia Bee ball club was nudged 12-6 by the locals on the losers’ field under a broiling sun. On the following Thursday. Covina's hapless Coltets were rudely shaved. 39-6. Gloom once, and for the last time, hit the Purple camp when one of the Southland s classiest Bee quarterbacks, belonging to Montebello, did everything but make the ball sit up and beg. The final was 20-6 in favor of the Oilers. Against Burbank, the Purple Bees in a fine exhibition of blocking downed the hapless little potatoes 36-6 before a proud home crowd. Came the big afternoon of the annual 'crosstown feud against Glendale, and the Purples, a shade readier, downed the aggregation 7-6 on the Black and Red turf to take 2' '2 points on the first leg of the News-Press city championship trophy. It was in this season finisher that Chuck Hoy passed, kicked, and ran himself right intc position to be named the most valuable player of the year.

Outstanding on defense and ball-handling, Warren pumped the hoop for badly needed markers in more than one cru- cial moment in his position as forward. Al- though the shortest member of the entire club, opposing players doubted that fact when Captain Hart snapped the ball from encircling arms. This boy is one of the many returning lettermen to next year’s squad. A worry-faced scramble for an inflated piece of leather; clutching, grabbing, greedy hands upraised in mute worship to a circular wire of steel; a packed, suffocating, rasping blob of limp, screaming fans pleading for score and yet more score; sweat-soaked ref- erees storming, commanding with Napoleonic gestures to the disgusted-faced competitor; perspiring, straining players fluttering in pur- poseful circles in answer to silent prayer from their coach . . .

The Hoover Tornadoes, having a hot and cold season, ended the year with 13 wins and 8 losses, including all practice games. The Varsity started off the season by grabbing six straight victories, from Verdugo Hills 60-33, Eagle Rock 48-33, Marshall 43-34. Loyola 22-19, Santa Monica 43-20, and Alhambra 33-19. Their first loss came at the hands of El Monte 21 -35. After bowling over all opposition, the Tornadoes entered into a tough series of teams only to lose hard-fought games to Cathedral 04-24. Mark Keppel 38-27, South Pasadena 27-25, Mount Carmel 54-39, and Monrovia 23-22.

Facing the champion South Pasadena Tigers for the second time, the home team was again edged by a 32-27 count, only to bounce back at Covina 59-16 and Monrovia 45-29.

Foothill League, Hoover’s Bee basketballers again polished off a near-championship season and placed two members. Forward and Captain Dick Schmidt and Guard Bob Herrold. on the all-league Bee dream team. The season was highlighted by the two-game split with the 'crosstowners. Taking a drubbing from the Black and Red in the first encounter, the terrific tots returned to hand that bunch a 32-27 lacing. Schmidt emerged high point man, as usual, with nine markers. Vince Dundee, Bob Vance, and Orton Dybdahl each accounted for five apiece, while Her- rold swished four from his guard spot. In the first outing against the loop champs from Monrovia, the little ones were off the scoring ball, for the final was 29-27 with a Greenish color. The tally in the second meeting, however, was 56-43 with a Purple tint. Captain Schmidt gave the locals a thrill with a 25-point performance. Another split was registered against Burbank. In the first fray with the potato-town- ers, the Purplets easily wrapped up a 34-26 victory package for the fans, but disappointed them in the second contest.

BASEBALL! Lanky ‘'Lefty” Schulte led Varsity baseball team mates to another successful Hoover sea- son with a twinkling dual role on the diamond. On the mound, he was known as Shacklin' Schulte because of an annoying habit of whif- fing enemy stickmen. Handing in his pitcher’s glove. Lefty is given a more familiar first- baseman's mitt to take over a position which he keeps free from errors. Scooping up stinging grounders, lofting lengthy larrups into the right field stands. Chuck Cheshier guided a classy bunch of horsehide hawkers to one more successful season at Hoover.

Montebello gave Hoover its lucky seventh, as Schulte and Cheshier led the home team to a 10-5 verdict by getting three hits apiece. The law of averages finally caught up; Hollywood collected. 5-0. Catching Hoover off guard. Burbank pounded out a decisive 15-3 score. In the first intracity duel. Glendale chalked up an 8-3 win to give the Tornadoes their third straight setback. Drawing a bye the following week. Hoover took on a tough Pasadena squad, and came from behind to tie up the game in the seventh inning, the score remaining 10-10 at the end of the ninth. The Tornadoes were edged 6-4 by a South Pasadena squad, but at this point the locals decided they had had enough, and proceeded to polish off Eagle Rock 12-6 and walk over Covina 22-1.

Skidding onto the runways, a sensational Purple track team shook defiant spikes in the face of bewildered and battered dual-meet fees. The sparkling Tornadoes took on a stiff dose of competition this year when nine duals were scheduled in addition to the League prelims and finals, the divisional meet at Compton, the Southern Cal finals at Oxnard, and the state meet at Visalia. During the dual-meet season, the Hooverites kept many events unblemished, chief among which were John Bradley in the 220, Bob Margett in the 440, Sam Nicholson in the broad jump, who also narrowly missed being undefeated in the lows when he was beaten by team mate Dave Walley; Fred Pratley in the high jump, Clae McDonald in the pole vault, and the relay team of Sam Nicholson, Don Culver.

Afore- mentioned athletes have polled themselves and found that they are in accordance with one thought: that the Boys’ Sport Section of the Scroll should be dedicated to this friend of all Tornadoes. Accordingly, it is fondly so dedicated to Bill. Besides taking care of the boys, he keeps the floors, lockers, showers, and towels in irreproachable order. After his more drab duties, he is watchdog and safety cop to the entire male population. Let someone try to enter the locker room in “civvies’' in late after- noon and he is confronted by Bill's sturdy frame guarding unlocked lockers. Let someone try to snap a towel or skid across wet. slippery floors and Bill's commanding voice cracks out a warning.

PHIL TESSIER TOM SCHMIDA LAWRENCE KROWN DAVE HOSTLER JIM SANDERSON Cadet Major Cadet Lieutenant Cadet Lieutenant Cadet Captar Cadet Captain Trujpc Bringing distinction to Hoover, the R.O.T.C. unit again won honors in military activi- ties, crediting the work of Colonel Louis H. Thompson, professor of science and tactics for the Glendale Unified School District, and M Sgt. Mitchell Bodner. instructor of the Hoover unit. First semester leadership of the company was in the hands of Cadet Major Philip Tes- sier and Cadet Captain Jim Sanderson, while the second semester the corps was led by Cadet Captain Dave Hostler. This excellent staff of officers also included Lieutenants Lawrence Krown and Tom Schmida. Again, as always, the Saber and Chevrons Club, composed of all officers and non-com- missioned officers, did much to further the morale and the social life of the unit. The rifle team had another successful year, adding to its fine record by placing high in the Hearst Trophy, the Sixth Army, and the National Rifle Matches. What was learned in the classroom and perfected on the drill field was put into prac- tice during the maneuvers and skirmishes in which the unit participated. R.O.T.C. R.O.T.C.

Enthusiasm ran high in the group as the girls hit the birdie over the net with fervor each week in their round-robin tournament. Badminton, another popular G.A.A. sport— Aiming at the bullseye from a distance of 20 yards, the ”William Tells” in the first- period archery class attempted to shoot a high score of 54. Activities in the afternoon Arch- ery Club, under Managers Sibyl Mark and Betty Kerseg. and Adviser Miss Frances Dur- yea, were concentrated on two successful tournaments staged for advanced girls. Ready, aim, fire! Mrs. Esther Shillman’s rhythms classes con- centrated on learning various new dance steps this year. The products of this activity were the snappy numbers presented in the operetta. Pyramids, hand-stands, cartwheels, and frog- leaps were executed by the agile gals in the Tumbling Club. Led by Barbara Hopkins and Cherre Cross, this energetic organization per- formed for several Hoover banquets. With a hop, skip, and a jump— Playdays. held at Hoover and various other schools, provided an opportunity for girls to play organized games of hockey and speedball. Directed by Miss Marie Habermann and Managers Mary Schaefer and Ar- leda Greenwood, the Tennis Club proved to be one of the most popular of the after-school groups. Over 80 girls turned out each Thursday after- noon for advanced tournament play and beginning fundamental instruction. Hockey girls bully— Good game! Block that kick! Attention for the exercises. Ready? Begin. These words are all too famil- iar to Hoover girls, for they have been heard daily at the opening of each gym class this past year. Under the direc- tion of Mrs. Esther Shillman, various figure-stretchers and dance types were executed, accompanied by the misleading lilt of piano music. Basket- ball and Baseball also were a popular part of the regular physical education program. Ready, begin! Reach high! Three strikes; you’re out! Volleyball, shuffleboard. body-me- chanics. and special gym are among the milder, although extremely beneficial, activities provided for girls. Body-me- chanics. under Mrs. Margaret Struble's direction, provides an opportunity for students to correct any defects of health or posture they may have. Corrective class exercises— Spike it!
