1940 student body administration started off under the leadership of president Robert Crown. Crown later went on to become a well known California assemblyman. He died in May 1973 in a traffic accident. Crown’s administration marked many firsts-more money taken in during football season than ever before, the first night football rally and the Oak Leaf, the school newspaper, was republish ed after 5 years’ idleness. The A.H.S. student body also welcomed Matt Bryan as new principal and Lloyd Sisler as drama coach. 1940 was also a memorable one for the football team and its follow ers. The Hornets defeated the Berkeley Yellowjackets, 12-6, for the first time in 23 years, thus ending the “Berkeley Jinx.”” The team struggled through the following years, coming close, but never win ning a league title. In 1950 they tied with Berkeley for the A.C.A.L. title. All county team selections included Phil Thormahlen, Wayne Raymond, and George Lagono. The basketball team had better luck during those years. By 1948, Coach Hank Jones had led the Hornet Club to five A.C.A.L. cham pionships in six years. The 1942 varsity baseball team also took the league championship. The beginning of World War II brought many changes to the .H.S. student body. Students and teachers alike enlisted in the armed forces, and the 1942 ACORN was dedicated to them. In 1943, Stu dent Body President Dean Hamilton enlisted in the Navy and was called to active duty before his term expired. The effects of the War found 240 students in the R.O.T.C. program in the school. The 1946 yearbook was dedicated to the 75 men from the school who had died serving their country. Extracurricular activities during those school days included dan- sants, skating parties, military balls, and circus days. Penny loafers, saddle shoes, and bobby sox were the height of fashion. Gary Cooper and Greer Garson were the students’ favorite actor and a tress. Glen Miller and “Sentimental Journey” rated highly with the students as their favorite band and song respectively. Other favorites included Ingrid Bergman, Van Johnson, Dinah Shore and Bing Crosby. Senior Sweethearts of ’42. Alameda’s 1942 ( rolf Tear The January Graduating Class of |
