Corona High School - Coronal Yearbook (Corona, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 130 of the 1948 volume:

FOREWORD Classes come and classes go, but school spirit stays on! Twenty-five years, a quarter of a century, is a long time in an individual ' s life and calls for an appropriate observance of the silver anniversary. Though twenty-five years may not represent such a long span in the life of an institution, it is still worthy of recognition, or so the staff of your Coronal thinks. Therefore we have chosen for the 1948 yearbook theme, the celebration of the Corona Senior High School ' s first twenty-five years on the West Sixth Street Campus. The staff believes that the High School Annual should portray all elements of school life, should record school tradi- tions and spirit, should interpret the school to the public, and should serve as a memory book. We tried to bring to you in the best form possible a picture of school life at Corona High School for the year of 1947-1948, with a few comparisons to the spirit of the school twenty-five years ago, when the first class, the Class of 1924, graduated from this campus. DEDICATION There are certain people to whom we are always indebted and to whom we are grateful. These people are invariably those who went before us, paving the way for us by their deeds and ac- complishments. Nations are founded by those who go before , leaving for those to come, traditions and standards by which to live. Sometimes these people are forgotten — their lives fade into the past. But, we of Corona Senior High have not forgotten. We have not forgotten those who founded the first traditions of our school, starting it cn its way. Traditions and first impressions are sometimes care- lessly made. But, they are the beginning of a lasting impression which lives on with the school. To the class of 1 924, who were the first to graduate from our school twenty-five years ago, we dedicate this Coronal in hopes that by doing so, we may express to them our thanks for helping to make our school a school of which to be proud. May we follow their well established ways? CONTENTS Faculty and Administration Academic Classes Organizations Activities Sports Features BOARD OF TRUSTEES Throughout the past twenty-five years the board of trus- tees has been composed of some of our leading citizens who have proven to us in many instances that they have continually placed the welfare of the students foremost in their thoughts and actions. Twenty-five years ago they were: Mrs. L. L. Andrews, still living in Corona; Mr. Charles M. Scoville, deceased; and Mr. Harry M. May, deceased. In 1947-48, they were (in the order in which they are seated above): Mr. H. P. Brownfield, Mr. Jesse E. Lillibridge (clerk), Mr. R. M. C. Fullenwider (president), Mr. Frank E. Bishop, Mr. Stanley W. Jacobs, and Mr. J. H. Macon. The board ' s newest important achievement was the uni- fication of the school district, which was to become effective July 1, 1948. T SUPERINTENDENT Congratulations to the Class of 1948 — the twenty-fifth class to be graduated from Corona Senior High School ' s present campus. May you as C. H. S. alumni assume worthy, useful places in our American democracy wherever you live. To the degree that you and succeeding classes assume this responsibility will the purposes of this institution be fulfilled. FRANK E. BISHOP BUSINESS MANAGER On this twenty-fifth anniversary of Corona Senior High School, it is fitting that we review the past in order to face the future more intelli- gently. May this center of learning serve the community even better in the years ahead. S. E. WALDRIP PRINCIPAL Anniversaries are a sig- nificant experience in the life of men— and on the occasion of this particular one — tribute may well be paid to the men and wo- men whose loyalty, wisdom and enthusiasm made our present building possible. For the past quarter of a century it has served well the edu- cational needs of Corona young men and women. Within its walls, victories have been won and tra- ditions made. May it continue to stand and serve as a symbol of know- ledge, endeavor and achievement in the years to come— so those who leave its halls may success- fully take their places in the world — and thus reflect honor upon the institution which is their alma mater. C. FINIS FRAZIER DIRECTOR OF CHILD WELFARE One of my greatest sat- isfactions throughout my eight years as Director of Child Wel- fare for the Corona City Schools has been that of watching you students grow up to find your places in the world.

' ' Mr. Villa and Friend You ve seen that smile - - .c i? i 3 The campus was kept trim SCHOOL WAS SCHOOL Kids were kids even twenty-five years ago. If you had walked into a classroom then, everything would have been about the same as it is now. You always find the jokers, the shy guys, the A students, the one that almost flunked kindergarten, and the well-known apple-polisher . Classes are larger now and there is more variety in the classes offered. It wasn ' t too long ago that such things as glee club and instrumental music classes weren ' t part of the school day. Those who wanted to take part in them had to meet on Saturdays or before school in the mornings. Woodshop and home ec were started down in grade school in the fourth or fifth grade, whereas they are now started in the eighth grade. Maybe the clothes were different? Last year we could have said yes , but not now! The girls wore skirts and sweaters or dresses. Of course there have been minor changes in the styles, but for the most part it was just skirts and sweaters. The hem line was about the same — several inches below the knee. The boys wore about the same thing — cords cr levis and a shirt. Perhaps teachers had a soft spot in their hearts for the football players who didn ' t do too much work, and still got passing grades. Mr. Albert Farmer decided that he would only do as much work as they did, but he didn ' t get away with it. He flunked English! Oh things were different when you were in school, is something stu- dents often say to their parents; but really, maybe thing weren ' t so different after all! page eighteen Quick Tri Through Todays World P Under the able leadership of Mr. Addison, Mr. Keers, Miss Paradis, and Mr. Taylor the history depart- ment helped students understand the world in which they live. The aim was that they might adjust themselves to it successfully and happily and that Ihey might contribute intelligently to its betterment. Special stress was placed on current affairs and an abundance of reports, films, discussions and panels constantly brought our nation ' s postwar problems to the attention of the students. Magazines and papers such as Time, Life, and Our Times were used extensively in this program. Mr. Addison gave an excellent reason for this program when he stated, I hope that as we look back into our nation ' s past and forward to its future the students will be proud that they are Americans. With Shake- speare, Adverbs the Muses Hyatt ' s Hot Heaven was a hilarious theme written in the senior English class taught by Mrs. Hyatt. In their more serious moments, these seniors devoted a great deal of time to serious English literature and to the preparation for the English examinations they would take before entering college. The junior English classes under Miss Peterson studied grammar and English literature with extra credit given for outside reading. The dramatics class, also taught by Miss Peterson, studied different types of drama, Shakespeare ' s life, and one of his plays. They also took part in the Lemonville and Christmas plays. Sophmore English classes instructed by Mr. Ritter and Miss Escalante, in addition to the required gram- mar, wrote Idea Bcoks which took original thinking. Also they gave oral book reviews on books read out- side of class. One of the most interesting discussions of the classes was whether or not your life is prearranged by fate, or if your own thoughts and actions can determine the events in your life. page nineteen They Found X During his high school career many a student survives the rigor of the various mathe- matics courses such as algebra, plane geometry, solid geometry, advanced algebra and trigo- nometry. All are designed to help the student meet his college mathematics requirements or prepare him for an occupation involving further study of the subject. Even if he does not re- member that the line of centers of two intersecting circles bisects their common chord at right angles, he has usually learned to work with his mind in organizing his thinking and developing an analytical approach to his problems. In the Ivory Lab If you could manage to endure those poisonous odors from the lab and sneak quietly past the creepy little crawling things that are the passion of every bug bisector, I mean biologist you might stroll into the science department some day to see what ' s up. You would probably find some students preparing fcr more cdvanced work in the field, and also many more who are seeing, perhaps for the first time, the complexities of this marvelous world of nature ip which we live. page tiventy Art Department The Art Department, headed by Miss Healy, has accomplished very many interesting and useful things this past year. Art is a very fascinating subject, but the majority of high school students know little about it. The Art classes are not only fun, but very worth-while. During this school year, the students have painted portraits and have done free hand drawings and cartoons. Also some of the pupils hove stenciled in aprons and bandanas, and have tooled many articles of leather goods. An art class is very valuable to any school, and we should be proud of the grand job ours has done this year. mi The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Rich- ard A. Becker, did out- standing work. Its mem- bers played at assemblies and gave some public concerts. The band, also directed by Mr. Becker, played at football games and basketball games. In January the long awaited uniforms arrived which will really give the games more spirit. The C.H.S. Glee Club, directed by Mr. J. Lorin Farmer, did very fine work. Its members sang □t our own assemblies, ex- change assemblies, and at many outside clubs, but we missed them at the Christmas program be- cause of Mr. Farmer ' s ill- ness. We should be proud of the splendid job our Mu- sic Department did this year. page twenty one Blackbirds Baked in a Pie The Home Economics Department offers some of the most beneficial courses for high school students. In these classes they learn not only the fundamentals of cooking and sewing, but the basic foundations of home-making. Janie will always remember what she learned about the basic 7 . Mary will never forget the first white sauce she made. Why students take the Home-Economics courses is simple. They learn home-management and are better equipped to take care of their own home. And Your 60 Word Pin ? ? The Commercial Department gives a bird ' s eye view of the business world. It teaches specific skills which will aid in personal life as well as in such vocational skills as typing, writ- ing shorthand, keeping records and understanding various business forms. One of the outward signs of success in the department is the earning of awards such as the typing pin and the shorthand certificate for meeting certain standards of speed and accuracy. This year these typing awards were earned two weeks earlier than in the previous year. The advanced commercial students were taken on a field trip to the Lemon Exchange Business Offices. page twenty two Language Department Three languages are taught at Corona High School: French, Latin, and Spanish. The second year French class taught by Mrs. Hyatt read and translated letters and newspapers as well as the required translation and grammar. One of the highlights of the year was the presentation of a short skit at the language assembly, written and spoken in French. The second year Latin class also instructed by Mrs. Hyatt studied the Adventures of Aeneas the first semester and Caesar ' s Account of the Gallic Wars during the second se- mester. Another interesting activity was the preparing and giving of reports on famous Roman leaders. The first and second year Spanish classes were taught this year by Miss Escalante. The main objective of the classes is to be able to speak, write and understand the Spanish language. A minimum of grammar is required. This section of the department also wrote and put on a Spanish skit for the language assembly. It included songs, dances, and a piano solo. Shop Work in machine shop is divided into three major fields — machine work, welding, and foundry practice. Students are encouraged to practice in all throe fields, but if their interests are definitely in one particular field they are not required to work in all three. In general students choose their own projects. Projects in machine work range from screw- drivers, punches, and hammers through ornamental turnings on lamps and vases to complicated projects like steam engines and wood lathes. Welding is carried on with both the oxy- acetylene and electric processes. It is largely practiced, though quite a volume of repair work on cars scooters, and heavier equipment flows through the shop. Foundry work is limited mainly to ornamental castings in aluminum with some brass and bronze poured occasionally. Work in woodshop is adapted to first, second and third year students. During the first year the boys learn the fundamentals of woodwork and the use and care of the tools. After the fundamentals have been learned, the boys learn to make a lumber bill and how to make a bill of material for their projects. The projects are usually made in second and third years in- cluding articles of furniture such as benches, cabinets, end tables, assortments of book shelves and corner shelves. page twenty three Seniors of 25 Commencements Ago were the First to Graduate in Our High School Auditorium Do you ever wonder what has hap- pened to your old classmates? Or — when you ' re in a reminiscing mood — do you ever remember, with that feeling that you ' re surely getting old, the things you did when you were in high school? The class that was graduated from Corona High in 1924 did quite a bit of hashing over some of the events of their school days at a get-to-gether in front of the high school main building last month. And, indeed, they have a record to be proud of. Thirty-four people graduated from senior high school on June 12, 1924: they were: Thelma Lillian Baldwin, Hazel J. Barger, Robert A. Brunson, Myrtle Bea- trice Buzan, Margaret Bywater, Frances Cane, Edmund Clark, Ethel Beth Crandell, Albert E. Farmer, Robert Cedric Fink, Richard Fitch, Leonard Frazier, Emma Ruth Gaddie, Mattie Ellen Garner, Kath- erine Elise Gersbach, India Gould, Jennie Lou Graham, Elsie Benjamina Hansen, Franklin Johnson, David Kelley, Thyra Ketchum, Arthur Lillibridge, Lynn Li 1 1 i- bridge, Eleanor Louise Longworth, Hil- bert Marzinke, Wilbert Miller, Liberty Pate, Geirgie Sandifer, Dorothy Slaughter, Marguerite E. Swoverland, Lola Thomp- son, Henry Brewster Tuthill, William Lee Wallace, and Eleanor Mary Wilder. Of these 34 graduates, there are 1 1 who still reside in Corona. You prob- ably know Marguerite Swoverland, who is now Mrs. Lillibridge and a teacher at Jefferson; R. A. Brunson, who is now a veterinarian; Margaret Bywater, who is now Mrs. David Kelley; Albert Farmer, who is now a landscaper; Emma Ruth Gaddie, who is now Mrs. Frank Bethurum; David Kelley, who is now a grove owner; Lynn Lillibridge, who is now a ranch owner; Hilbert Marzinke, who works for the Citizen ' s Bank; Franklin Johnson, who is an orange grower; Geirgie Sandifer, who is now Mrs. J. S. Lowery, wife of the Chief of Police; and Henry Tuthill, who is employed with the Shell Oil Company. page twenty four 9 Under the leadership of Tom Robertson, the senior class president, the class of ' 48 made its way through its final year of school. Many trials and errors blocked their path, but they came through victorious. In their last year of high school, they chose very able leaders to settle all the problems that were to come up. Tom Robertson showed himself ready and able to lead in every emergency. Carol Smith, vice-president, in her pleasant manner, did much to make this year a success. Arlene Reading, secre- tary, kept a record of all senior class meetings and thereby showed her ability and desire to make the class of ' 48 a memor- able one. Senior class treasurer, Alvin Olson, showed that he was well-suited for his position by taking care of all the money matters that came up through the year. These four, in their ability, personality, and wish to do right, made the class respect and honor them; and in years to come they will still be remem- bered for their continuous service to the school. Class yell leaders were Ardeth Noble and Nelda Nolan. Senior class representatives were Doug Garton, Florencio Ortiz, Emily Delgadillo, and Dick Allen. Bud Smith was chosen senior representative to the Student Council. page twenty five SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS S E ■ N I O R S DON KRAFT Basketball 10, 12; Football 10, 12; Baseball 11, 12; Lettermen ' s Club 12; Hi-Y 12; Chaffey, first semester of 11.

During the year they sponsored Pitchers ' Para- dise a booth at Lemonville; they participated in the Christmas skit, Foot Balls and Powder Puffs ; they presented an assembly; and they decorated for the baccalaureate service according to custom. During the junior year Big, little Mac McGregor headed the class as president. The juniors put on a fine carnival dance for Lemonville, a comical assembly take-off was given on comic strip characters, and that hair-raising mystery play called Mystery in the Library was a big hit. On May 17, the annual Junior-Senior prom was held with The Beach as the theme at the American Legion Hall. Finally, it ' s the big year. Seniors leave first was the big privilege long awaited by all of these brainy seniors since they first came to senior high school. A fine assembly was given in December. Senior Ditch Day was enjoyed by all in May; the Seniors especially enjoyed those envious looks given them by the sophomores and juniors. Finally it was good-bye to the old Alma Mater — and to tell the truth they hated to leave. page thirty seven Senior Sweaters, no- ess SEMIOR 511 APS the Smiley Sisters l-E-m-ChR’3 Rah! Rah!

Members of this class made their first step toward raising money for the Prom by selling food at the local football games. Then came the sea-themed Lemonville Dance sponsored by The Forty-niners with many Juniors taking an active part in the Lemonville plays. Early in October these middle-classmen proudly displayed their attractive class rings, but still eagerly awaited spring when they paraded their blue senior class sweaters. The traditional Junior Play was presented in March, leaving the Junior-Senior Prom to top the social year of the upper classmen. The successful junior year is largely attributable to the president. Bob Morrell, who was every ready to uphold his class. Johnny Shannon, serving as vice-president, worked faithfully, as did Barbara Sandidge, secretary. With Arlen Wheeler and David Holton as co-financial chairmen, The Forty-niners managed to make ends meet. Junior representatives (chosen by U. S. History classes) who were definitely a part of this active teamwork were: Betty Turner, Mary Hercer, Bob Baker, Marilyn Galbraith, and Bob Allen. Faculty sponsors were Mrs. G ' iswold, Mr. Keers, Mr. Davies, Mr. Brooks, Mrs. Arnold, Miss Chapman, Mr. Taylor, and Miss Peterson. page thirty nine o qL J (D «l O £ 3 § D 0 ) a . - -C oo — £ u- . o . =-l o o u m o o U 0 1 q I £ S ' . ° u o; ° o g - E � c « O g ° D -r c P a !P. £ O . $ x o Q £ 5 c i= -J cn U -- £ S r- ' to -s -C ? 8 o c (j .$?

Some of the many activities the class presented to the student body were the sophomore assembly, a talent show and a panel by one of the English classes. A few sophomores were in the Lemonville Plays. The class officers were Bill Robertson, president, an all- around personality with good sportsmanship and modesty to boot ; John Labrum, vice-president, a conscientious worker and a lover of horses; Rose Abercrombie, treasurer, good natured and lovable girl; Jackie Stewart, secretary, an all-around girl in sports and studies; Barbara Jean and Imogene Schockley, yell leaders, identical twins who can almost always be seen together wearing the same type of clothes. Barbara Bays and Jimmie Ragsdale excelled in repre- senting the class in the Student Council. Credit is also due to the class advisors, Miss Paradis and Miss Escalante who have helped the class. page forty four page forty five Jp o § 8 -,5 0 o ■ $ 3 1 73 O o n Or?

This group of about fifteen then chose Bernice Bradley and Allyce Wingo as co- chairmen of their club. Throughout the year this helpful organization managed to make the appearance of C. H. S. more inviting by placing floral arrangements in the hall and office, and by spending a great deal of time on very effective hall decorations for Hallow- e ' en and Christmas. Miss Healy, art teacher and club sponsor, directed the girls in their effort toward making our school more attractive. I age forty nine GIRL ' S LEAGUE Girl ' s League, an organization composed of all high school girls., has been working to promote a spirit of friendship and cooperation among its members. Sponsored by Mrs. Bishop, Miss Escalante, and Mrs. Swanson and directed by President Ardeth Noble, Vice President Scharli Lyon, Secretary Arlene Wheeler, and Treasurer Connie Luna — Girl ' s League has given every girl the opportunity to display her own talents and enjoy the talents of others and has presented to her many educational programs designed to help her lead a happier, mere useful life. The highlight of the year ' s activities was Hi Jinx at which Ardeth Noble was crowned Queen of Hi Jinx according to the choice of the girls. The six girls on the Queen ' s court were Kathleen Bishop, Emily Delgadillo, Charmayne Leescn, Marion Lyon, Margie Riley and Carol Smith. Among the other activities of the year were the picnic on Big and Little Sister Day, welfare work for the Children ' s Home Society, the Christmas party, and the Sadie Hawkin ' s dance. page fifty In Apple Blossom Time The villain was apprehended page fifty one s g, S o d) D .E c _o CD -£ _c t: +- 3 o £ CL co 10 i_ O O £ � - O D D O “ C CL O 3 u) CL i- D co _Q E u u E O n d) 4— s o to ' sc . 4- 4- 5i m d o a a o c o cn P c c cn o in _ _3 ; c o XI CL 3 LO u x uo W g 1-2 in ; 3 S -Q 2 0) £ JC c - a w 0 - U in ir o o c o £ u £ c 0) o cn c u d) _c d) -C u 1c £ c CL ■g-c u .52 -Q f «S- S. u C o o a u L l_ Q) I D U _ S - L.

The year was started off with a fast- moving season of basket-ball. There was a large turn-out of enthusiastic sophomores composing two teams with competing junior and senior teams. The season was ended with the usual basketball playday at Citrus. Following basketball came a long but exciting season of speedball. Corona girls were privileged to be the hostesses at the annual speedball play- day, which was the first given by Corona in several years. Corona made a good showing in competing with the five other schools in the league. A rough and memorable season in hockey followed. It was memorable because each girl at one time or another went home with a bruise here or there. With the warm days of spring came softball, a sport to which all the girls looked forward. In this game several outstanding players were developed. Tennis was enjoyed throughout the year, the finals being played in April. page sixty page sixty two a E o 4- O CD JC c o a x o x u c o D a _o E c Q. CO D O) cd . X • § g §■§ E 3 |-g o £ X -O .

A new and capable staff was selected each semester and the officers are as follows, first and second semesters, respectively: Editor-in-Chief — Esther Rieve Managing Editor — Helen Lomax Business Manager — Scharli Lyon Feature Editor— -Gee Gee Jewell Page I Editor — Joan Hogan Art Editor — Lynne Hansen Sports Editors — Kathleen Bishop Coleman Stevenson Mimeographist — Lila Jean Housley Reporters — Pat Justice, Darlene Justice, Emily Delgadillo, Frances Munoz, Joan Kazmer, Marybelle Krock SECOND SEMESTER: Editor-in-Chief — Joan Hogan Managing Editor — Helen Lomax Business Manager — Scharli Lyon Feature Editor — Kathleen Bishop Page I Editor — Lila Jean Housley Art Editor — Lynne Hansen Sports Editor — Frances Munoz John Shannon Mimeographist — Gee Gee Jewell Typists — Reporters — Esther Rieve, Jackie Hooker, Marybelle Krock, Mary Sweeney As a side project, the enthusiastic students put out a twelve-page An- niversary Supplement to the local paper in order to bring attention to the school bond issues that were voted on the past year. page seventy THE CORONAL STAFF The Coronal Staff consisting of Kathleen Bishop, Editor; Jeanne Dupuis, Business Manager; Bernice Bradley, Art Editor; Jim Ragsdale, Sports Editor; and Nancy Coleman, Ardeth Maw, Esther Rieve, Helen Lomax, Lila Jean Housley, Joan Velthoen, Barbara Downs, Billy Zidbeck, reporters, hope they have given you a book to be remembered as one of the finest. They have tried to celebrate the 25th year that Corona Senior High School has been located at its present West 6th Street Campus by using the 25th Anniversary, the silver anniversary, as the theme of this book. They hoped by means of generous use of pictures, snap shots, and brief stories — to bring you a true picture of Corona Senior High School Life with some contrasts to the Corona High twenty-five years ago. The Coronal staff wishes to thank Mr. Ed Ritter for his patience and untiring assistance in the preparation of the mater- ial for the annual, to Mr. C. J. Slattery for all his fine work in taking the many pictures that had to be taken for this year ' s Coronal, and to Mr. Guy Genung fcr his helpful suggestions and cooperation in the printing of the 1948 Coronal. Coronal Editor and Business Manager page seventy one Assembly Planning Committee The Assembly Planning Committee was organized again for the purpose of planning and presenting assemblies to the student body. This was the second year this club was active at C. H. S. A wide variety of good entertainment was presented by the committee under the direction of Mrs. Hazel Hyatt. The only officers of the club were Co-chairmen Ray Lescault and Charles Parker. page seventy two MORELL MAC McGREGOR STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT Let ' s give him another big hand. Corona Senior High School students felt like echoing the familiar words of their student body prexy as they looked back on the admirable leadership of big, little Mac McGregor. Mac always had a joke to pop at the students that really got them in the mood to listen to all the good assemblies that were presented at C.H.S. When presiding at an assembly Mac had an inimitable way of introducing people; his way of saying Today — and of then going on with what he had to say will not be forgotten. Mac was really swell — about 5 feet 4 inches (anyway between 5 feet and 6 feet), brown hair (always a butch haircut), brown eyes, and that person- ality. What a guy!!! I bet you wouldn ' t even guess he was from Texas. Mac really is an all around fellow — he did very well scholastically and was a whiz at sports. The classes after the class of ' 48 are surely going to have a hard time finding a student body president as efficient as Mac was this year. page seventy three The student council, under its capable president, Morell McGregor, was faced this year with many problems, some of which were more difficult to solve than others. However, the student body can now look with pride to the completion of pay- ments on the football lights and bleachers. Another year has been concluded most successfully. President Morell McGregor wishes to thank the follow- ing members of the student council for their help in making his term such a success: Robert Sanford, Vice-President; Helen Lomax, Secretary; Marion Lyon, Treasurer; Kathleen Bishop, Editor of Coronal; Jeanne Dupuis, Business Manager of Coronal- Mike Lugo, Fire Chief; and the class representatives, Bud Smith, senior; Mary Alice Hercer, junior; Barbara Bays, sophomore. Student Council sponsors were Mr. Bynum and Mr. Froseth. page seventy four Lemonville Two one-act plays, Stoney ' s Brides and Murder by Morning , followed by a dance in the gymnasium accompanied by Judd Chew ' s orches- tra from Redlands, high-lighted this year ' s traditional Lemonville. Sponsored by the Junior Class to raise money for the Junior-Senior Banquet, Lemonville was a festive oc- casion with concessions, leis, balloons, hats, and confett i. Miss Chapman and Jeanne Dupuis were advisor and general chairman, respectively. page seventy five Hi - Jinks The annual Hi Jinks Ball was held this year on March 12 at the American Legion Hall. The theme was Apple Blossom Time and the hall was beautifully decor- ated with pink and white flowers. At 9:00. the moment everyone had been waiting for, arrived. To the strains of Apple Blossom Time the procession started. Leading was little Gretchen Ritter, scattering flowers in the queen ' s path. Then came Dennis Taylor who carried the queen ' s crown. Ardeth Noble, the queen and also president of Girl ' s League, followed with a long flowing cape and a fan bouquet of camillias and sweet peas. The court followed in couples: Kathleen Bishop, Emily Delgadillo. Charmayne Leeson, Marion Lyon, Carol Smith, and Margie Riley. When the procession reached the throne, the attendants ascended to the foot of the throne while Ardeth remained below for the reading of the presentation. Scharli Lyon, the vice president of Girl ' s League, acted as crowning officer. After the coronation, Queen Ardeth ascended to her throne to view the program prepared for her. A musical program was presented by a group of Whittier College students. The grand march led by Queen Ardeth and her es- cort followed the program. Then, dancing was continued until midnight. A very large crowd attended Hi Jinks this year. It was reported by the members of Girl ' s League to be one of the nicest and one of the most successful ever had. page seventy six The Junior Class Play What a riot! That ' s what everyone was saying after they ' d seen that great presentation, FOOTLOOSE given by the Class of ' 49 under the direction of Miss Peterson. It WAS a riot, too, with Jo Ann Roos and Myron Joseph as high school kids who got into every kind of trouble imaginable! Scharli Lyon was the older sister who tried to run things while her parents were away on a world cruise. The whole thing, in three acts, was enough to confuse and delight any audience. It did, too! The Cast: Hope Early — Scharli Lyon Mary Early — Jo Ann Roos Bob Early — Myron Joseph Dick Early — John Shannon Delphie — Clydean Lawson Randy Cunningham — Bob Morrell Emily Early — Jeanne Dupuis Richard Early — Art White Miriam Walker — Joan Kenney Jenny Mol lay — Betty Dober Jack Milford — Bill Roberts Buzz Daily — Leonard Dueker Mrs. Forester — Rita Fuller Sanford Welles — Roddy Hill page seventy seven The 25th A nniversary Ball The Coronal Staff this year held a Formal Dance, December 1 9, which they called a Silver Anniversary Ball, celebrating the twen- ty-five years that the Corona Senior High School has been located on West 6th Street and honor- ing all Corona High School alumni. Under the theme Silver Star Dust, Mrs. Bachand ' s Orches- tra played. During the intermission Gordon Hogan, an alumnus who is now going to Pomona College, played a few numbers on the piano after which Kathleen Bishop, Editor of the 1 948 Coronal, greeted the crowd and invited them over to the refreshment table. A cake with decorations symbolizing the 25th Anniversary was then featured at the refreshment table where Mrs. L. L. Andrews, who was a Board of Trustees member the first year the school existed at its present campus, cut the cake. Then it was served. This dance was enjoyed by the com- munity and by high school students and poet- ically marked a historic event important to our high school. The Annual Football Banquet The annual Football Ban- quet sponsored by the Corona Lions Club was a huge success this year. Sixty-five varsity and B team players and as many fathers at- tended the father-and-son ban- quet. Highlight of the evening was the presentation of The Most Valuable Player Award of the football season to Frank Nugent by Mr. John Ganahl, who made the presentation in behalf of the 20-30 Club. Frank showed him- self so capable all season at left guard that his selection for the award surprised no one. Chief speaker of the even- ing was Ben Agajanian, star place kicker of the Los Angeles Dons of the All American Pro Football League. page seventy eight YELL LEADERS Present at all athletic activities of C.H.S., both home and away, were Yell Leaders Nelda Nolan, Jane Karn- ey, Idarene Bibles, and Bill Zidbeck. The girls — in their white skirts, white sweaters with C ' s , and red Peter Pan blouses — and Bill — in white trousers and red sweater — led the student body in cheering our team to victory. Leading an excited student body isn ' t so easy as it sounds, and the yell leaders had to be on their toes and do a lot of planning. They also helped to promote friendship between schools by me.eting lots of kids and exchang- ing ideas. SONG LEADERS Song leaders Lynne Hansen, Jody Roos, Jean Blair, and Gee Gee Jewell were also a familiar quartet at all games. Sporting red corduroy beanies and flashy red corduroy dresses with gold notes, they worked with the yell leaders and pep band to boost school spirit. They didn ' t have an easy time either. Sometimes we sang with our band, some- times with the opponent ' s band, and sometimes with no band. Well — we sang, didn ' t we? page seventy nine SILVER MEMORIES OF THE CLASS OF ' 23 Class Yell: Look! Look! Who are we?

One is Jess Hill who was much in the sports news this year. Can you find him? page eighty COACHES Mr. Bulkley Mr. Keers page eighty one page eighty two Footbd I Varsity The Corona High School Panther f ootballers, after a successful 1947 sea- son against tough competition in the Tri- County League, came forward to tie the Citrus gridders for second place in the league. Trained by Coach Dan Bulkley, the Panthers got off to a winning start against their old rivals, the Colton Yellow- jackets, tramping them 20-0 in a practice game September 26, on the home grid- iron. Wayland Nelson, Ray Lescault, and Dave Rawson scored the touchdowns and Celes Martinez kicked the two conver- sion points. In their second victory, also a practice game, the Panthers overpowered the Anaheim Colonists on the La Palma Park gridiron at Anaheim, October 3, 12-0. The Panthers were handicaped in this encounter. The afternoon of the game, Wayland Nelson. Panther quarter- back, and Pat Carlton, end, were injured in an automobile accident. Taking the vitally important quarterback position, David Holton handled the team like a veteran and his passes were perfect. In the second period Halfback Dan Blakeley ran 36 yards to pay dirt, dodging tacklers all the way. Fullback John Wyrick plunged through the line from the one- yard line for the final score. Celes Mar- tinez kicked the conversion point. In the Tri-County League Foot- ball Carnival held at Citrus, October 10 the Northern division (Citrus, Claremont and Bonita) whipped the South (Corona, Puente, and Chino) 33-12. As the Pan- thers also had a game scheduled against the Pomona Red Devils the following night, Coach Bulkley was forced to send in his second team against the Bonita Bearcats. Bonita won 7-6. The following evening at Pomona the locals were administered their first de- feat. Playing two games one right after the other didn ' t seem to be the best thing on the menu for Corona. The Pomona Red Devils just had a better team; that ' s page eighty three all there was to it. They out-weighed us 26 pounds per man in the line and 30 pounds in the back field; but true to tradition, the Corona Panthers fought hard ' til the final gun. October 17 on the home gridiron, the panthers opened league competi- tion against Citrus, defeating them 20-6. Early in the contest, Halfback Dan Blake- ley raced 70 yards down the left side line to score for Corona. Celes Martinez scored the second touchdown for the Pan- thers from the three-yard line. Fullback Bud Smith scored the final touchdown for Corona when he intercepted a Citrus pass and ran it 33 yards for the touchdown. Celes Martinez kicked both conversions. The following week in their second league contest, the Panthers were defeat- ed by the Bonita Bearcats at Bonita, who the previous year tied for the Tri-County League Championship with Corona. Luck wasn ' t with the Panthers in this game. Bonita was league champion this season. In their third league game, the Panthers whipped Puente 29-0 at Puente on October 31. Fullback Bud Smith plunged through the line from the one- yard mark to open the scoring for Corona. In the second stanza, Celes Martinez ran 16 yards to pay dirt. Dan Blakeley scored the third touchdown for Corona in the first half. A flat pass from Quarter- back Dave Holton to End Davie Rawson netted the Panthers their fourth touch- down. In the opening minutes of the final period, Celes Martinez launched a 30- yard field goal; the ball sailed end over end and squarely between the uprights. in league game number four, on the home field, the Panthers played a scoreless game against the Chino Cow- boys. In the encounter, Bud Smith sus- tained a broken ankle, which kept him from playing in the Claremont game. In the second period, it looked like a pos- sible score for Chino, but the powerful Panther line drove them back. page eighty four In their final league tilt, Novem- ber 14, with Claremont, the Panthers won 52-2. Scoring touchdowns for Corona were Dan Blakeley, Ray Lescault, Dave Raw- son, Dave Holton, Harvey Simpson, and Frank Nugent. This was the final game for Corona. The Panthers had won three games, lost one, and tied one. With a last-minute touchdown against Chino, the Corona High School B eleven won the Tri-County champion- ship for last season, under the able super- vision of Coach Wayne Taylor. Corona had a very successful sea- son this year, winning four games and losing none in league competition. Corona opened the season against Colton in a practice tilt, shallacking the Colton eleven 42-0. Bonita was the first Tri-County League victim of the mighty B foot- ball machine, losing 14-6 to the Corona Panthers in a very well-played game. Corona had to go all the way in order to beat a fighting Citrus team 7-6 in their next league tilt. Corona was on the Citrus one yard-line another time, but failed to push the ball over. Corona crushed the Puente eleven 49-0 in the next league game. Corona met Chino in their last league game, with both teams being un- defeated in league competition. At the end of the third quarter the score was 6-0 in favor of Chino, but with just three min- utes to go, Corona pushed over a touch- down to win the Tri-County Football Championship, 7-6. The play that won this title was a 246 double reverse-for- ward, a very tricky play made up by Coach Taylor. Spark plugs of the team through- out the season were Dick (Pud) Allen, Bob (Rabbit) Cleveland, and Harvey (Box- car) Simpson, the latter two being co- captains this year. page eighty five Varsity Basketball B Basketball C Basketball Varsity Basketba The Corona Panthers, under the fine coaching of Wayne Taylor, won 12 out of 20 games this season, playing 10 league and 10 practice games. In practice games, the Panthers won 8 out of 10 games, defeating Red- lands twice, 20-19 and 36-28, and split- ting two very close and well played games with the Colton five, 20-27 and 29-27. Elsinore proved hardly up to Corona ' s standard of playing, losing to Corona 49- 16 and 72-10. Sherman also proved but a minor obstacle in Corona ' s victorious march, losing 39-26. Corona licked Claremont 33-23 in the Chino tournament to advance to the second round, but met their master in Chaffey at the tune of a 66-32 score. The Panther five won their first four games in league competition win- ning two from Puente, 50-39 and 64-27, and beating Claremont, 62-47 and 39- 37, showing very good ball handling in both games. Corona then went on to lose six straight games in league competition, losing to Chino 34-24 and 33-32, the latter games being the closest and most exciting games played by either team this season. Chino took a free shot in the last page eighty seven seconds of the game, sinking it after the gun had sounded, to win the game. The Panthers were thrashed by Citrus 56-47 and 33-28, and by the Bonita Bearcats 39-23 and 34-19 to end their season ' s schedule. Corona racked up 771 points and 258 personal fouls in 20 games, winning 60 per cent of all its games. Scoring 309 point, an average of 15 per game, Dave Rawson proved him- self to be the power of the Corona five. Rawson was followed by Guard Hank Moreno, with 1 17 points. Wayland Nelson and Pat Carlton bucketed 67 and 91, respectively. Celes Martinez took free goal honors, making 17 out of 29 at- tempts, for a 59 per cent average. The Corona Bees had a fairly suc- cessful season this year, winning seven Tri-County games and losing only three. In practice games, the competition proved tougher; Corona won three but lost five. With the expert coaching of Coach Dan Bulkley, the B ' s copp ed two games from Bonita, 30-15 and 40-19. The Corona Cagers proved too much for Puente to handle and won both games, 43-26 and 46-36. Claremont lost both games to the smooth-playing Corona five. 37-17 and 54-28. Corona lost twice to Chino, 30-27 and 30-24. Both games were very close and well-played by both teams. The Panthers split with the Citrus Cougars, 29-38 and 37-23. In practice games, Corona cagers proved too much for Perris, winning 56- 35; they split with Redlands 31-29 and 29-36. The first game showed fine ball handling on the part of both teams. Elsinore edged out the Bees 44-45, in one of the most exciting games of the B schedule. In the Chino tournament Corona really turned on the pressure and defeated Downey 33-20, to advance to the second round, where they were over- powered by a very good Huntington five. The Corona team played its heart out, but the Colton five proved just too much and Corona lost both games, 26-25 and 23-13. page eighty eight The B team massed 595 points during the season. Morel I McGregor, though he played only 13 of 18 games, took individual scoring honors, scoring 136 points. He also had the best free goal average, sinking 26 out of 50 at- tempts for a 52 per cent average. Other first string players were Angelo Lunetta, 89 points; Dick Allen, 86 points; Jack Kroonen, 46 points; and Harvey Simpson, 33 points. Leading subs were Mike Lugo, 86 points; Morris Eaton, 31 points; Bob Allen, 24 points; and Jerry Carranza with 20 digits. Other team members in order of scoring: Bob Cleveland, Nick Rodriquez, Harold Nickolson, Fred Montejano, Gene Lamb, and Robert Broyles. This year for the first time since the war. Corona High School C class boys got together and organized a team. Under the able coaching of Mr. Davies, high school shop teacher, the C team won three of its seven games. The Corona five lost the first four straight league games, losing to Bonita 24-15, to Chino 30-23, to Bonita 17-15, (in one of the most exciting games of the season) and to Chino 38-28. Then the Corona boys turned the tables and defeated the league champs, Citrus, 22-18. The C boys played a very good game and showed fine hand- ling of the ball. Next victim of the Corona five was Puente, to the tune of a 27-21. In the final league game, the team won from Citrus by forfeit. Jimmie Ragsdale was big gun of the Corona five, scoring 52 points in six league tilts, and making 9 baskets out of 16 free goal attempts for a 5614 per cent average. Richard Ortega fol- lowed, scoring 40 points in six league games. Abel Martinez was second in free goal attempts, making 6 out of 1 1 for a 54 per cent average. Other members of the team were Bill Robertson, Donnie Ledford, Joe Burke, Ronnie Agins, Eugene Michaels, Bob Russel, Joe Soto, Ray Nichols, and Robert Henson. page eighty nine Varsity Track B Track C Track page ninety Corona Varsity and B men combined their talents to sweep to two wins in two of the biggest meets for small schools this year, winning the Brea Linda Relays and the Puente Invitational Meet. Corona ' s Varsity and B men have not lost a meet to any other Tri- County school this year, while the C ' s won one and lost three to Tri-County competition. Corona opened the season against the Colton tracksters. Corona ' s varsity and B men met their only defeats of the season. Varsity losing 48-56, and ' ' B men losing in a very close meet 47V2- 47%. The C ' s bowed to Colton tracksters 31 1 2 -44 %. Corona swept to a very impressive win in the Brea Linda Relays to carry home the first place trophy. Scores of the meet were: Corona, 22; Laguna Beach, 17; Downey, 13; Bonita, 11; Garden Grove, 9; Valencia, 8; Chino, 7; Orange, 5; Citrus, 4; and Claremont, 3. Puente and Bell Gardens fell be- fore the victorious Corona Varsity and B stars 90-31-8, and 62-38-17 in a triangular meet, while the Corona C ' s beat Bell Gardens 26-17 and dropped the decision to the Puente boys 42-26. Citrus was the next victim of the victorious Varsity and B men 88-16 and 60V2-33V2. The Corona C ' s went down to defeat 25V2-51 V 2 . Bonita proved to be but a minor obstacle in Corona ' s way, losing to the Varsity 70-34 and to the B boys 67-28. Bonita proved too much for the Corona C ' s , winning 54-23. Corona then won the Bonita In- vitational Meet over twelve other schools to take home two big trophies — one for winning the meet and one for the relay. Scores were: Corona 47, Colton 28, page ninety one Bonita 20, Covina 18, Downey 15, Lan- caster 10, Hemet 8, Chino 8, Perris 7, Claremont 6, Puente 5, Citrus 4, and Webb 4. Corona swept to wins in all three classes over Chino, winning Varsity events 74-30; B events, 68 V 2 - 26 V 2 ; and at last the C ' s came through to win 42-33. When the Coronal went to press it looked as if Corona would make a clean sweep of Varsity and B events. The C ' s chances also looked good in the approaching Tri-County Finals. Two records were broken this year, the 120-yard high hurdles, and the 4-man 880-yard relay. Bob Danieri ran the 120-yard high hurdles in 16.1 to break Murray ' s 16.3, which was set in 1938. Nugent, Lescault, Martinez and Blakeley ran the 4-man 880-yard relay in 1.33.8 to break a 20-year-old record of 1.34.6 which had been set in 1927 by Bailey, Rude, Parker, and Wood. The track record of the Corona trackmen shows excellent handling by Coach Buckley. Varsity high point men of the sea- son were Blakeley, Danieri, and Allen. Other individual stars were: Montejano, 880; Lescault, 440; Rawson, 440 and high jump; Shepard, pole vault; and Contreras, mile. B high men were Wroot, Cleve- land, and Escobar. Other high point-get- ters were Clinton, high jump; Caranza, high jump; Uribe, shot put; Simpson, 100 yard dash; Underhill, 220; and Broyles, broad jump. C high point men were Robert- son, Ragsdale, and Agins. Other point- getters were Ortega, shot put; Clinton, 660; Blackman, 100; Hacker, 180; and Russell, pole vault. page ninety two page ninety three Corona men of the diamond have won five games while losing four this year for a .556 average. The Corona nine bowed to the Orange nine 2-1 and 2-0 in two close and well played games to open the season. Nelson pitched two-hit ball in the first game, but five errors gave the game to the Orange nine. The Corona junior varsity (second string) split with the Colton junior varsity 4- 6 and 16-1. In its second game, winning 16-1, the Corona junior varsity showed its batting prowess. Corona walloped Colton 10-2 and 5- 1 to take two well played games by the Corona nine. Nelson pitched a one-hitter in the second game to win his second game of the season. Corona was walloped by Citrus 15-6 in the first league game. Hemmel and Topez combined their pitching tal- ents to pitch a four-hit game for Citrus. McIntyre and Flores combined their pitching talents to handcuff the Corona nine with a three-hit shutout 1 6-0 in Corona ' s next league contest. Carlos Uribe knocked out four hits in five times at bat to lead the Panthers to a 9-2 victory over Chino in their third league contest. Corona showed fine field- ing and good batting eyes, making 14 hits. Celes Martinez walked, stole sec- ond, took third on a passed ball, and scored on an outfield error to give the Panthers their second league win, 8-7, over Chino. Coach Keers ' team showed a much improved game in this contest. Other games could not be includ- ed because of the Coronal deadline for sports material. Said Coach Bob Keers of C. H. S. baseball players: Most of the fellows were young and inexperienced, but they were all willing to learn and their spirit was fine. Several ineligibilities and injur- ies have handicaped us thus far; but we are improving with every game and ex- pect to be a soft touch for no one. We are giving as much attention as possible to the sophomores and juniors and plan on being even tougher next year. Only mem- bers of the squad who will graduate this year are W. Nelson, J. Ramirez, D. Raw- son, Dick Allen, and C. Martinez. Those returning next year are the Uribe broth- ers, A. Lunetta, M. Lugo, C. Peterson, M. Ornelis, R. Ortega, M. Eaton, L. Cullins, B. Perez, I. Serrato, and J. B. Graham. Coach Bob Keers was here for his first year, and coached the Corona nine into a well balanced team, even though being ill during the season. page ninety four page ninety five Girls lennis Boys’ Te Boys Tennis Team C. H. S. ' s boys ' tennis team opened the season with a practice game here with Garden Grove, April 5, and a return match there the following week. The boys lost both matches due to inexperience and lack of time, the only winners being last year ' s return lettermen, David Holton, Paul Dolan, and Robert Sanford. However, Coach Taylor said, ' ' The boys seem to be shaping up well in practice, and may surprise the other schools at the end of the season. The schedule for the year was: Colton April 29 Citrus May 6 Bonita May 1 3 Chino May 20 Claremont May 27 Girls Ten nis Tec The tennis club under the direction of Mrs. Swanson started the year with a ladder tourna- ment. This was to establish the girls ' ranks according to ability, and to determine their position cn the team. Mrs. Swanson ' s hopes soared high for a very success- ful season, but the first match with Citrus proved disappointing as the C. H. S. girls were defeated by a score of 8-1 with 3rd singles, Arlene Wheeler, winning Coro- na ' s only match. The following week the local girls fared somewhat better but still went down to defeat with Puente defeating them 5-3. The three points were scored by Ber- nice Bradley, 1st singles; Ardeth Noble, 2nd singles; and Arlene Wheeler, 3rd singles. Due to a mix-up in sched- ule these matches were played over. The schools included in the league were Citrus, Puente, Bo- nita, Chino, and Claremont. Positions held by the girls were Bernice Bradley, 1st singles; Ardeth Noble, 2nd singles; Ar- lene Wheeler, 3rd singles; Cush McCord, 4th singles; and Alice Wingo, 5th singles. Kathleen Bishop and Jeanne Dupuis teamed together for 1st doubles, with Carol Smith and Charolette War- ren playing 2nd doubles.

No mas (running out of space — skip it.) Almost left out this game with Claremont. MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 1948 Mrs. Sellstrom talked to the seniors today . . . Gosh, what do I say now? Anyway she ' s a marriage counsellor. FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 1948 The fellows ended the first semester by playing an exciting game at Citrus Two quarters down and two to go. FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1948 Another basketball game, so soon. Wish we ' d hurry up and get through with these games. They take up too much space. This one was Bonita. SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1948 Boy oh boy, the Letterman ' s dance at the Legion hall was really a gala affair. You know those lettermen! FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1948 No, no, not another basketball game! Who ' s the lucky school that gets to play us this time? Chino, no less. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1948 The band marched in their new uniforms ... I mean, the band members, in their new uniforms, marched in the parade at Indio. Hey, band boys, need some more qirls? FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1948 . Chino presented a musical exchange assembly today. That gal who played the sax was all right. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1948 More of same, only Claremont. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1948 Did you ever see a rabbit come out of a hat? Hocus, pocus, dominicus . That ' s the part I missed in that magic assembly! MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1948 Guess some old guy had a birthday so we got out of school . . . Oh, it was George Washington! TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1948 The Glee Club really sounded good at the assembly today. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1948 Didn ' t understand every word in that language assembly . . . just couldn ' t hear very well! FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1948 That poor old faculty didn ' t have a chance when the panthers ran all over them. Really a good game though. Colton was over for a track meet today ... I can ' t figure out why that one guy kept running around the track after all the others had stopped. FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1948 The Brea Linda Relays were held today, but I didn ' t go because I didn ' t have a way. TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 1948 Everyone ditched school today to see the Freedom Train ... to see the Freedom that is. Well, I saw the outside anyway!

MONDAY, MARCH 29, 1948 Back to the same old grind after a swell vacation. Gosh, I ' m sleepy. Had a horrible time getting up so early. THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1948 Never saw the Statue of Liberty before, but I didn ' t know it could move around like that! That Perris assembly was different anyway! TUESDAY, APRIL 6, 1948 Mr. Parkinson talked to us about India today, and he brought along two Indian girls. Looked just like two girls in our school. THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1948 That swing band from Sherman was really hot! That play was pretty gocd, but it scared me half out of my boots.

C- Wtt-ppj ■ftC-K page one hundred one Hey Hey! - Yo Yo’s - New Look - Peroxides - - It Shouldnt Happen Even to a Sophomore Each school year is different — unique in its personalities, fads, activities, and pranks. And because each school year is different in so many ways, each one becomes like an individual; a friend through thick and thin. There are bad years and good years. We won ' t be so presumtuous as to say that 1947-48 has been a terrific year — or, for that matter, that it has been a horrible year, because it becomes an entirely different kind of a year for each one of us. But what would we say has made this year what it has been? (We ' re speaking entirely from a scholastic point of view of course ... ah hmmm.) Well . . . Part of it came from the sayings which circulated on the campus through- out the year. Let ' s see, around the first month or two there was a highly intelli- gent exclamation used by almost every- body. It was, ' ' Hey, Hey!!! ' ' followed by any word which seemed appropriate, or at times followed by absolutely nothing at all. It seemed to speak for itself when- ever uttered. And then later in the year, when Hey, Hey! had passed from the scene and was obsolete there arose an- other exclamation which was used to mean almost anything, anytime, any- where. Uh oh, baby was this master- piece and was more effective if it was shouted in a tone of voice that gave the impression that the person was either suf- fering from laryngitis or was about to pass out. But it was wonderful and it was really surprising how useful it could be. Then, of course, there are the fads which add to the personality of each and every school year. This year we al- most outdid ourselves when it came to fads. They ranged everywhere from long skirts to yo-yo ' s. Yes, what with the New Look making its debut this year, and all the girls eager to be right in style every min- ute there was quite a variety in dress. Aside from the fact that one had to be virtually a millionaire to keep up with the style, it was lovely. Scarfs have been quite the rage this year too, and have really added quite a bit of color to the campus. But none of this mad rush to be up to the minute in clothes bothered our local heros in the least. They just kept right on donning the same old pair of levis cr cords every morning and got that amazed Girls! look in their eyes when a gal thinking she looked very chic swished by in her Ballarina skirt. Came the spring. And with it came the yo-yo craze, sidelined by a few tops. They even found their way into classrooms, and one never felt complete- ly safe from those zooming things that could smack you neatly on the back of the head and disappear so rapidly you never knew whom to accuse. But this disease, luckily, seemed to be contagious largely to boys. Then it was the girls ' turn to get that confused Boys! look in their eyes. Save the best for the last , they say. And so we did. Peroxide. Words can- not describe its effect. It always happens. A brave soul peroxides his hair and the word passes quickly, Are you going to . . . ? Soon everyone does. In fact this year you were classed as nothing less than a freak if you didn ' t. Some of the bleach jobs were really successful, tho ' , and added quite a bit to appearances that theretofore had needed something to set them apart. Believe us it did. But we al- ways say, It ' s their hair . Another of those Everybody ' s- doing it routines this year seemed to be Going Steady . Almost everybody did at one time or another. The halls became practically a Lover ' s Lane, what with the Steadies parading from class to class holding hands. It was nice, though, wasn ' t it? Sort of inspired some of us to think that maybe ail wasn ' t in vain. Some day we, too, might hold hands. The pranks this year rather ran away with themselves it seems. About all we can say to the adventurous soul who rode the bike down the hall, and the naughty boys who put dead things into people ' s lockers (no doubt mistaking them for miniature morgues) is, Aren ' t you ashamed? It ' s been quite a year. And like all the others, it will become an annual re- port and forgotten by many people. But there are those of us who will remember it. These things belong to the past now, but it ' s usually appropriate to shed a tear (we can see some of the firecracker fiends shedding a few tears) and go on to the next year. So without further ado we ' ll add our good-bye to the rest. Uh oh, baby, see ya around! AUTOGRAPHS
