Aaaanee l6'nsiness ,Manager Being your l956 Advance Business Manager has been a most gratifying experience. l have enjoyed working with Co-Editors Lois Morrow and Rena McLennan. Having to sell ll0O books made it a bit more difficult for the staff, but with the assistance of the Student Council, this goal was accom- plished. Our budget totaled 53900, an increase of S700 over l955, to cover the cost of the 200 additional books. My thanks goes to the merchants and business- men for their helpful cooperation which makes this Advance the success it is. Students who aided in the work and who deserve a thank you are Sharon Johnson, Linda Dolf, Cleta Tolley, Gaylene Johnson, Judy Chown, and Pat Mc- Donough. Special thanks goes to Sandy Melendy and Joyce Silva for their help on the books. Last, but not least, to Mr. Crittenden-thank you for your assistance. dal-1 Of utmost importance to a freshman publication advisor are the editors of the newspaper and the yearbook. In my first year at Arcata . . . I was fortunate enough to be blessed with four leaders whom l valued highly: Rena McLennan, Lois Morrow . . . Editors of the Advance and Tom Fay and Don Harris . . . Editors of the Pepperbox. l say thanks to them and thanks to the other members of both staffs, Together we learned how to put out the yearbook and the paper and for my part the ex- perience was both enlightening and valuable. lt will make my iob that much easier in the future. Thank you!

X 98 The 1955 Grid Season was a successful one for the Tigers as they wound up the year with a 5 win and 3 loss record. Two of the Tiger losses were to the champion Loggers of Eureka, the other to an undefeated Fort Bragg team. The Tigers started off the season in fine style by dumping the South Fork Cubs 25 to O. The South Fork team later went on to tie for the championship in the Little Three League. The Tigers first road trip of the season, was to Fort Bragg where they ran up against a tough Tim- berwolf eleven. The Tigers dropped the game 7 to O. Dick Olson, and Skip Carlson writing one of their numerous sports stories. The Tigers then stepped into their first league game with the Warriors of Del Norte. The Tigers handled Del Norte with ease as they won 39 to 7. The Tigers next came up against their trans-bay rivals, the Eureka Loggers, fall- ing before this strong team 31 to 13. This score lies a little as the Tigers played great ball the first half, leading at halftime 13 to 12. The Tigers bounced back a week later as they trounced the Fortuna Huskies 31 to O. The Tigers again came up against Eureka in a game that would decide the championship. The Tigers weren't up for this game as they fell to the Loggers for the second time this season by the score of 26 to O. The Tigers now ran up against the winless Warriors of Del Norte, trouncing them again 38 to 6. The Tigers final Grid game was against the Fortuna Huskies in a game that would decide second place. The Tigers won the runner-up slot by defeating the Huskies 14 to 6. Three Tiger regulars were named to the All-County team. They were: Tom Weeks, Bill Brittain, and Jay Theil. All three will be back next year.
