335 BILL JONES In th Elle TOP Hilton Student Council The Student Council, the executive heads of Tulare High School's student body, began the school year with the issuing of a new type of student body card. The card sold for 551.50 and was worth its face value, sums spent being punched out much in the same man- ner as one would a meal ticket. On October 5, Tulare High School staged one of its biggest school events in the dedication of the new foot- ball turf. Besides enjoying a specially prepared pro- gram, the large crowd that had gathered witnessed a football game between the Redskins and Exeter foot- ball teams. Several very successful dances were held at the Fairgrounds, one of the first being a Thanksgiving dance, held in a real atmosphere of the season among corn stalks, pumpkins, and autumn leaves. A live tur- key was given to the holder of a lucky ticket. One of the big treats of the year was a Christmas program at the Tulare Theatre. The dramatic classes under Miss Lois Thompson's direction put on two Christmas skits. Something entirely new and quite original to Tu- lare High School students was the Backwards Dance. No clothes were worn backwards or anything like thatg it was the dating system that took a turn, girls asked for dates and paid for tickets. Furthermore, at the dance girls asked for dances. The whole affair was very successful and brought out a large crowd. Taking everything into consideration, the student council has seen that the students have had a very suc- cessful social year. ald Hill- E 1 N ws. Xvk V- Q, V X.

The game ended in Tulare's favor 7-0. The -Papooses were surely glad to hear the final gun in the game with Visalia, which was a grueling battle from start to finish. Hoffman was sterling on defense and Rhyman and Fowler made several sparkling plays. The final score was Tulare 7, Visalia 0. The Porterville game was the battle in the rain. Porterville was nicely lodged in first place until a roaring, fighting, maddened Tulare team, playing as a team, eked out a victory that broke the Porterville jinx of seven long years, and gave Tulare undisputed hold of second place in the league. There was only one touchdown, making the score 6-0. The line-up consisted of : Left End-Carl Henerd Left Tackle-Valenzuela Left Guard-Don Hoffman Center-Elmo Fuller Right Guard-Drexel Stewart, Fred Smith Right Tackle-Ed Rhyman Right End-Bob Gribi Quarterback-George Fowler Right Halfback-John Sturgeon Left Halfback-Sam Ragan Fullback-Allan Twaddle This was one of the most successful seasons for the Tulare lightweights in several years. If Fuller and Twaddle had been in shape to play the first game, Tu- lare might have sailed through to a title. Several of these boys will make excellent material for the varsity next year, but Coach Hexberg is looking forward to a strong lightweight outfit.

This year, due to the condemning of the schoo1's audi- torium, it has been impossible to hold associated stu- dent assemblies, and for this reason the clubs have taken an important part in school life. Girl Reserves The Valley Girl Reserve conference held in Bakers- field proved to be the popular event of the season in which the local Girl Reserves participated. Leaving Tulare on Friday, March 1, eighteen Ginl Reserves journeyed by auto for three days of pleasure among approximately 350 girls from all parts of the valley. The girls gathered for the purpose of improving them- selves as Girl Reserves and to learn ways and means of improving their clubs. This conference is an annual affair looked forward to by all members of the club. Margaret Harper, president of the local club, was elected vice-president of the Valley Girl Reserves at the conference in Bakersfield. This is the second con- secutive time that a Tulare girl has held a valley office, Ladene Cottle having held the position of secretary of the valley for 1934. Mrs. Reeta Vincent is club adviser. Automotive Club One of the oldest and most active clubs of the school is the Automotive club, which had a member- ship this year of approximately 35 members. Elmer Coday was chosen leader of the club at its election early in the year and conducted the activities under the title of Pilot. Paul Spani held the title of Co-Pilot or vice president and George Boyd was Navi- gator or Secretary. The main activity of the year was the annual auto show staged by the club on March 22-23 and which was attended by approximately 5000 persons.
