From tho momont when he first walked through the front gate, things began to hum and before the football season was half over we were singing our fighting songs in time with his music makers. By mid-year we had a band anyone might be proud of. When thoy travelod to Santa Barbara for tho annual high school band festival and practically stole the show, we knew our young maestro had plonty on the ball. yen LeflDeRS Pat Murphy Charlie Dungan twenty-four BAND MEMBERS PICCOLO.

Not even to take a long breath! He not only practically doubled the size of his organi- zation, he and his melody makers blos- somed out in spanking new class-plus red and black uniforms that had even the most blas6 of our more sophisticated citi- zens completely agog. Then they wont to Santa Barbara again where the key to tho city and the acclaim of the populace was handed to them on a silver platter. Right- fully the A. V. Band heads the list of our Prides. twenty-five SUUinGST€RS Tops with at least half the school in popularity and second only to the A. V. Band with everyone else, is that musical organization bearing the popular title of Henry Shumako And All The Lads and the official cognomen of the Swing Band. It. like the Band, is the creation of tho Young Maestro. Theron White. It. like the Band, takes every audienco by storm. Masters of molody and rhythm, the swing- sters are in the groove every time. They bear down with plenty of umph and the Cats and Gatos stand around with their mouths open and their teeth flapping in the breezo. Those guys and gals havo what it takes.

As early as six-forty-fivo and as late as eight, students board the busses to travel many miles to school. At three-thirty, eight hundred students clam- ber into these behemoths of the boule- vards. some to travel as much as sixty miles, over concrete highways, dusty des- ert roads, and winding mountain passes, to oil corners of Antelope Valley. The busses are kept in condition by some of the drivers in the shop and are refueled and made ready each day for the next trip. An extra bus is kept in order that organizations and classes may take educational trips to various ports of Southern California. Our bus system is one of tho most effective and officient to be found ony- where. Under the capable direction of Gilbert A. Brooks, the transportation of A. V. ranks second to no other school bus system in the world. twenty-nine library science • art No description of the activities of A. V., of which every student in school is particularly proud, could possibly be complete without men- tion of tho work of the Librory and tho Art De- partment. Both are doing an excellent job and every student in school profits by their efforts. Visitors to the cafeteria have been known to stand for minutes at a time admiring the panels which adorn tho walls. These pieces, the work of several advanced art students, moy well bo called masterpieces. Posters, signs, and stage decorations, are only a fow of the many activities of this department which add further to tho contributions which the school enjoys. The guid- ing hand of Mrs. Shirley B. Eyler. directs the activities. The Library Scionco Class, under the di- rection of the school librarian. Mrs. Lorbeer, offers to individual students special training in the management and maintenance of a library, and serves the student body as a whole, through increasing the efficiency with which the library servos the school. Student librarians are given an opportunity to study book binding, display making, cataloguing, and card filing, as well as the very valuable experience of dealing with tho book-borrowing public. thirty Cla55E5 CLASS OF 1939 FIRST Sem EST ER OFFICERS Realizing that senior classes of years gone by had set a pace that would be hard to beat, tho seniors began the year with some trepidation. They soon took heart, however, and with the help of the Dungenitos. laid the groundwork for a record that will probably stand until the end of time. They were the most argu- mentative class in the history of tho school and experts havo boon heard to say that to break their record for long-winded dis course is beyond he reolm of human ability. They finally did got around to deciding what kind of sweaters to buy. however, and they were so beautiful that the school decidod that the millions of words that wore used up in deciding were well spent after all. By that time it was late in November and time for try-outs for the Sonior play. A Murder Has Been Arranged. a spooky ghost story, that alternately thrilled and chilled two full houses on Docember 15th and 16th. Pat Murphy as tho deep-dyed villian. Charlie Dungan as murderee. and Dick Roe and Thelma Plummer as the heart interest together with an excellent supporting cast, produced a play which, dramatically, was one of the best in years. Then the first semestor ended. Maxine Bates President Earl Miller Vice President Carmen Oliaz Jack Morris Gloria Van Sickle Secrotary Treasurer Yell Leader thirty-two Tho second semester of enyone's senior year is the coffee-drinking, worry- ing. stewing, and fretting semester as those who havo passed through the ordeal can attest. Until that time everyone who is or would liko to be someone never, never, novor lets his school work interfere with his education. Then that very last somestor rolls around and the sound of books boing opened becomes deofoning. Suddenly the seniors wake up to the fact that those austere looking tomes they have been lugging around for the last three and a half years actually have words printed in them. Words that they should have learned many moons ago. Then they start to bear down and tho picture of so much mental activity is a sight to behold. This year’s class, having set one record, had little energy loft to make a try for another. They wore just about average in scholarship and most of them finishod the year with the usual pieco of leather cncasod shoepskin. not greatly the worse for tho four years' wear. In tho meantime, they did find a few spare moments to enjoy life, reaching the peak in that particular direction with the Junior-Senior Prom. Commencement on June first brought a tear to even the mosr hardened Senior's eye and they all wished they were coming back next yoar.

Lead- ing this group in their antics was Little Jake. Junior president for the first semester. Soon taking a lead in school functions, the class sponsored a pay as- sembly with Dr. Luther Gable speaking on radium. The assembly proved quite interesting and improved the Junior bank account. A few of the high and mighties in student body affairs were: Fern Mills who sufferod bravely as Assembly Manager. T. Walker who kopt a firm hold on tho student body purse strings. Peg Stoudt. the little gal who held down Big A presidency and G.A.A. vice-presidency at the same time. Dort Lansford and Sadie Krubsack who worked like troupers on the Girls' Leaguo Cabinet, and Bob Ross who got himself elected captain of the 1939 grid squad. This paragraph could really grow up and use a lot of space, but we'll end it here. Jewelry always draws attention and the Junior rings got double theirs. It was noted that Juniors weren't the only ones proud to wear them. With a sigh of relief reverberating through tho halls, the Class of '40 barged into the second semestor shoving oppo- sition in all directions. Jeanette Smith Eunice Adams Secretary Treasurer Peggy Stoudt Yell Leador forty Having cleared the way during the first somestor. tho class of '40 began the second part of their career as Juniors. Play try-outs are Tuesday night! , echoed and re-echoed over tho campus as the class begon preparations for the an- nual Junior play. Big Hearted Herbert. a side-splitting comedy, was chosen and. as usual, a noisy, conglomerate crowd of would-be thespions appearod before Mr. Farrell, the diroctor. to show their talents. Kenny Johnson and Marie Lackey proved their acting ability by taking the leads, al- though Merie was only a short gasp ahoad of Elizabeth Ann Groven in the final selec- tion. Bill Cutbirth. Margaret Lange. Homer Graham. Bob Herbert. Elizabeth Grovon. Mont Hall. Gordon Beckwith. Fern Mills. Edsel Sherri. Mary Jane Hofbauer. and Elsie Johnson also came into posses- sion of play books. At the end of each por- formanco on March 30 and 31. the cast walked off with the audience in a noatly tied package. With many voices raised and excite- ment predominating, plans wore cussed and discussed for the Junior-Senior Prom. The gals showed up in formals and the fel- lows looked their best. Yo Oldo Gymme was unrecognizable. With Midnight In Manhattan as the decorating theme, tall buildings, shrubbery and a romantic moon furnished a perfect setting for tho biggest shindig of tho year. Both Seniors and Jun- iors left tho donee wolking on air. With a sigh, a shrug, and then o grin, tho Class of '40 decided that being Seniors wouldn't be half bad.

From that day until the end of the year things happened thick and fast and there wasn’t even the faintest excuse for anyone’s being bored. By Soptembor 25. the political bug, which had been hovering around, finally decided to land, and when tho dust cleared. Frank, Katie. Laura and Laurence found themselves elected as the new proxies. On October 26 with vaccinations and the Junior-Senior Hallowe'en party all on the same day. everyone had a good excuse for not doing school work. Tho sophs came right back at the upper classmen on the 28th. however, with a party featuring cake and soda pop. The Freshmen, not to be denied, tossed a shindig of their own on the 31st. On tho samo day the first edition of the Sage Brush came off the press. The buzz of scandal was terrific and tho red facos weren’t all from sunburn. With Christmas just around the corner, the school celebrated on December 15 and 16 with a play. Peace Be Unto You. starring Hadley and Diehl, and a party with plenty of candy and toys. Coming back aftor vaca- tion. the Juniors and Seniors dazzled everyone with their new rings, which was followed soon after by a Valentine Party on February 10. Thespians dis- played their wares on March 29 and 30 when the school play. Go Slow, Mary delighted audiences at Randsburg and Trona. The last week of school finally came, the Seniors bid overyone adieu, and evoryone else looked forward to next year with much anticipation. fifty-two activities Ui J% fl (Tlurder Has Been Arranged” Surrounded by on oir of oerie oxpectancy. capacity audi- onces on December 15 ond 16. watched with growing tenseness, the portroyol of A Murder Hos Been Arranged.” Led by the inspirod acting of Pot Murphy in the rolo of the villoin, Maurice Mullins, the cast carried the play through without a let-down to its thrilling climax when the ghost of Sir Charles, his victim, played by Charlie Dungan brought Mullins to justice. Outstand- ing in their parts were Dick Roe as James North, and Thelma Plummer as Lady Jasper, the romontic leads. Eunice Smith as Miss Groze ond Betty Glouser as Mrs. Wragg were very con- vincing. The play, which deals with the legend of the ghost of the St. Jomes Theatre. London, is one of the best mystery plays of recent yoars, with the climax coming at the final curtain as Mul- lins slowly goes mad when ho realizes his guilt has been proved. The Swing Band, under the direction of Thoron White, as the theatre orchestra, provided an unusual musical setting around which the action of the play revolved. fifty-four Presented by the Seniors December 15 and 16 THE CAST Sir Charles Jasper..............Charles Dungan Lady Beatrice Jasper............Thelma Plummer Mrs. Arthur.

Because we are of the desert, we have attempted to put into this book some of the mojesty of its distances and some of tho color of its everchanging beauty. Lack of space prevents us from recording the thousand and one tiny incidents which make life at A. V. so pleasant. We hope that the memory of the more important things will call to mind all the other experiences. If thoy do we may foci that we have truly given you a complete record of all that has happened during the year.

THE SEASON Handicappod by a small squad with few replacements. The Antelopo varsity battled vel antly. but went down to defoat in oach Ventura County League engage- i ont. The team was dogged by injuries during the entire seoson and wont into oach game with several regulars missing from the line-up. Captain Faina sustained a bad knee in the opening game of the season and spent a large shore of the season on the bench. A numbor of injuries occurred at Ventura, eliminating several stars from the last battle of the year with Fillmore. Howard Carter, speedy left end. Don Nourse. right half. Al Llarena. left half, and Merle Curtis, fightinq guard, all had to watch the struggle from the side-lines. Bill Shaffer, deserves a big hand for his outstanding work.

THE SEASON Our Baby Antelopes worked under difficulties this year, because of the fact that thoy had no regularly scheduled game . Thoy had to take what thoy could get in the way of the varsity squads of the smaller schools, in this case. Lone Pine and Bishop. Howover. because of lock of varsity subs due to injuries, several first string lightweights were able to get in a little varsity time. In spite of the few games, the smaller Antelopes practiced diligently every morning and some- times in the evening to acquire the skill and experience necessary to hold down a varsity position next year. Reno Actis was elocted captain at the post-season banquet, and a more deserving playor could not be found! In spite of leg and shouldor injuries Rono was in a suit and fighting in nearly every scrim- mago. As well as being captain. Reno was unquestionably star player. It is certainly a pity that a fellow with the ability and intestinal fortitude of Reno lacks the size of a varsity player. Next year there will be no Junior Varsity. There will be two varsity clubs, the Varsity end the Re- serve . The reservos will play the schools formerly playod by the Junior Varsity, but they will practice with the Varsity: each Reserve ployer having a good chance to play on the Varsity team. seventy-six Stuart Merrill Gone Mottlor Lome Blasdell Bob Bright George Campbell George Semerenko seventy-seven RENO ACTIS Captain BUD DAVIS Star Louis Massari Darrell Reed Jim Callahan Preston Evans Don Jaqua VARSITY BASKETBALL COACH F.

MICKEY FREEMAN Captain Paul Wheeler Don Jaque Phil Stoudt Ray Newton Louis Slattery eighty-two RflCQUCT UJI€LD€RS THE SEASON The Yucca goes to press, unfortun- ately. just as tennis season is getting under way. Consequently it is possible to re- port only the opening meet of the soason with Fillmoro. However, judging by the results of that encounter which wos won by the Antelopos five matches to one, Coach Kerns Vaughan will have a toam that should be top-ranking in the Ventura County League. The first encounter which was played on the A. V. courts on March 31 was a display of high class tennis. Lead by George Barnett, who played first sin- gles. tho squad wsa able to stop anything Fillmore had to offer with the lono excep- tion of the fourth singles match which Bruce Beckwith, playing with an injured ankle, dropped by o very close margin. In addition to the Fillmore engage- ment. the Antelopes will take on Santa Paula on April 15 and Ventura on April 22. Both of those tourneys are scheduled for the opposition courts and will offer tho squod plenty of competition. On April 29. A. V. will close the soason on the home courts by tangling with Oxnard. Coaching his first not squad. Kerns Vaughan appears to have produced a first rate, well rounded team. With Georgo Barnett and Bill Newoll as first and second singles and Ralph DuBois and Clyde Ben- nett as first doubles, the team gives prom- ise of going far. Battling it out for other births on the varsity are Roy Humbcrd. Bruce Beckwith, Jack Hawke. Tommy Clements. Kenny Johnson, and several others. Many of these will form an excel- lent nucleus for next year's team. GEORGE BARNETT Captain Bill Newoll Kenny Johnson Jack Hawke Tommy Clements Second Singles Third Singles First Doubles First Doubles First Singles eighty-three on THE CinDERPflTH Howard Carter Sprint , Broadjumps THE SEASON As the prossos begin to roll on the 1939 Yucca, track season is barely under way and it is impossible to include any team scores. We do have, howover. incomplete re- sults showing performances of individuals in the Russoli Cup Meet held at Carpontcria. April I. In that meet, in which Carpenterie High School ploys host to a large number of Southern and Central California high schools. Antelopo spikemen performed creditably in every event which they ontorod. Of the Ventura County League Schools. Fillmore scored slightly more than did A. V. and. at this writing, according to Coach Bookor appear to have a slight odge over the rest of the schools in tho league. A big meet of that sort is usuolly a parade of stars with points being divided among a large number of schools. Howard Carter's feat of taking first in both the century and the furlong was outstanding. Si more meets remain on the A. V. schedule. A triangle with Santa Paula and Oxnard at Oxnard on April 15 and two dual encounter at Ventura on April 22 and at Fillmore on April 29 will complete the intra-league schedule. The County moet at Oxnard. May 6 and tho Divisional meet on the samo oval a week later will deter mine the entrants in the Southern California and State moots at the Los Angeles Coliseum, May 21 and 27, ro spectively. eighty-four Sheldon Jaqua Low Hurdles THE SQUAD Load by Howard Carter, the Antelope's stollar all- round athlete, the team shows promise of being one of the most powerful in the league this year. Although the team is somewhat lop-sided, with unusual strength in nearly overy track event, and few good men in tho field, the final point total of meet scores should see A. V. on top in the majority of their encounters. Carter's time of 9.9 in the hundred which ho made last year might be re- duced slightly this year. He won easily at ten flat in the Russell meet and appeared to have plenty of excess steam had it been needed. In the furlong. Cooch Booker is anticipating that he will be able to knock at least .2 seconds off his 21.8 of last year. He appears to be much strongor and runs with greater ease. Irwin Finck in the century looks to be a sure bet for second in tho County meet. John Kostopoulos and Joe Martinez both look good in the high jump. Goorge Faina, according to Coach Booker, is practically a cinch for second in the shot-put in the League meet, whilo Jack Morris should cop at least second in tho mile. Milton High, who was a close fifth in the Russell affair, is slated for third in the 440. Reno Actis and Al Llarona should come in for their sharo of tho honors in the century dash in Class B com- petition. In the relay, both A and B teams top anything the league has to offer and should win hands down. Al Llarena Sprints. Broadjump Joo Martinez High Jump 3 Vi a Jack Morris Mile eighty-five F. J. BOOKER Coach HORS0HID6RS THE SEASON As is the caso with track and tennis, so it is with baseball. The Yucca goes to press too soon to record the complete horse- hide season. At this writing the Antelopes have playod threo practice gamos and one league encounter. Three more league battles and the Pomona Invitational remain on the schedule. Opening the season on March 4. A. V. sluggers dropped a close one to Toft on the latter's diamond by a score of 5-4. A return engagement at A. V. on March 18 saw the score knotted at the end of the ninth ot four all. A bingle in tho tenth brought in the winning run for Taft. With several first stringers ab- sent. the luckless Antelopes journeyed to Delano on March 24 and dropped their third onagoment 8-2. Several costly baubles spoilod what might otherwise have been a close game. Ending their losing streak on March 31. A. V.. spurred by Cap- tain Johnie Ccccarelli's four bagger that brought in two other runners, took Fillmore into camp 7-6. The steady chucking of Harold Thacker held the Fillmore outfit to two runs until tho ninth inning. This gome opened the Ventura County League season. Three more league games remain to be ployed with Santa Paula on April 15. Ventura on April 22. and Oxnard on April 29. on their respective diamonds. April 6. 7 and 8 have been set for the annual High School Invitational Baseball Meet at Pomona. In the drawing for oponing opponents. A. V. drew Hoover High School of San Diego. COACH GEORGE BISHOP Mentor of Antelope athletic teams for the past soveral years. George Bishop has an cnviablo record of championship teams. Because his services have been needed as consultant on the construction of the new Boy's Gym, Coach Bishop has limited his coaching activities this year to baseball and J. C. basketball.

Al- though they were dogged by a series of tough breaks in tho oarly part of the sea- son. they broke their three game losing streak with the Fillmore contest and bid fair to be able to hold their own against all comers. During tho second game with Taft, a team which beat them 9-2 last year, the Taft first sacker was hoard to remark on the tremendous improvement which had occurred in the A. V. club. All gamos to date except the Delano encounter have been close and the playing of the team has been marred only occasionally by orrors. Heads-up ball and near air-tight pitching by Thacker indicate considerable success in league competition. Several veterans havo won permanent berths on the varsity. Georgo Faina at third. Roy Stoudt at second, and Sheldon Jaqua at short stop make up a fast infield which is hard to beat. In the outfield. W. C. Baty and Dick Olson are apparently thero to stay, with a large number of others battling for the remaining fielding job. Baty. by tho way. is well equipped to relieve Thacker on the mound if ne- cessary. Behind the plate. George Matsu- bara is number one man with Bob Traver and Edsel Sherri following in that order. Warren Baty George Foina Sholdon Jaqua Louis Krubsack Bob Traver Larry Do Spain Roy Stoudt Harold Thackor suuimminG Although A. V. is well equipped with a full-size outdoor plunge, distance from possible competitors has resulted in keep- ing swimming largely an intramural sport. There has been, however, no lack of inter- est on the part of students and many ex- cellent swimmers and divors have been turned out by Coach George Bishop. Among outstanding aquatic stars. Ranee Castle is well out in front. He holds nearly every pool record for speed swimming and is an excellent diver as woll. Dick Chonoy and Wally Niemela as well as a host of others have shown excellent prom- ise and may woll devolop into future swim- ming greats. The pool, which is the center of the summor recreation activity of Lancaster, is kept open until leto in October and is roopened again as soon as the weather permits in April. It is crowded every day during the summer months and out-strips every other school activity in interest while it is open during the school year. This year for the first timo A. V. entered inter- school competition when tho school played host to swim teams from the various Dosert and Ventura County Leaguos on May 20. eighty-eight GIRLS’ SPORTS GIRLS’ SPORTS Except for the G. A. A. playdoys which are held only once each year. A. V. girls are unable to participate in inter-school competition. As a result various class and gym period teams are organized to compete against oach other within the school ond a very intense rivalry grows during each season of sport between these various teams. Inter-class tournaments ero held at the end of each season to determine the winner. Every girl who partici- pates is oxpected to follow the rigid training rulos set up by the N. A. A. F. Although they have no opportunity to compete with other schools, there is little doubt in the minds of those who watch the intra-mural games that A. V. girls could give a good account of themselves against any competition. COACH INEZ APREA HOCKEY Individual Sports TENNIS BASEBALL HOCKEY nin«ty-one Individual Sports SPEEDBALL BASEBALL TETHERBALL BASKETBALL ninety-two suuimmiriG Tho plunge, while not quite as popu- lar with the girls as with the boys, is a maior center of attraction in tho girls' oth- letic program. Swimming, as a part of the girls' physical education program is an in- dividual activity. No intor-class or inter- period contests are held, but under the direction of Miss Inez Aprea many expert swimmers and divers are developed each year. Since she is a qualified Rod Cross Life Saving examiner many students come to her to take the necessary tests to qual- ify as life guards. Swimming at A. V. is co- educational. so tho pool serves as a social as well as a recreational center. ninety-three flew Boys Gym For many years the need for a new gymnasium has been keenly felt and ways and means of providing adequate new equipment has been a topic of discussion at many school board meetings as well as at student and faculty gatherings. Lack of sufficient funds to carry through tho project forced its postponement for sevoral yoars. This year, however, because of the careful and successful management of our District Superintendent, Mr. Knapp, wo are seeing the realization of a dream of many years. The new structure, scheduled for completion before the end of tho year, is rising rapidly as this is being written, diroctly behind the Ag. Building in the space botween tho tennis courts and the swimming pool.
