A' 1' fi iiwfk S BON VOYAGE, SENIORS Our seniors are busy putting on the finishing touches, getting last minute work in, having hnal visits with their friends before the or- chestra begins playing on the thirteenth of june. On the whole, they have been a very fine class, unusually good in fact. and respond to their manifold duties exceptionally well. There are many opinions among members of this class concerning what an education is, and what preparation is necessary for getting a job. Some are most interested in preparing themselves for living, in getting a more correct self estimate, and in learning how to get along with others. A well rounded high school pro- gram affords the student an excellent oppor- tunity to develop himself into a person fitted by personal and ruental traits to face the future. R. R. CHASE PAGE TEN Y Wards hnut llur ' aff-fi LOOKING AHEAD OF US This is the eleventh year of Balboa's exist- ence, during which time fine traditions have been established. A drastic change is about to enter into the life of the Buccaneers, for after fall '-10, Balboa will be a senior high school. Our new junior high, the James Denman, will need help and guidance, and we should be a big brother to it. In many ways, we'll almost be a six year high school. Our plans from this semester on should include ways of assisting our close neighbor, as all of those citizens sooner or later will be enrolled at Balboa. Wlith this big adjustment will come many changes, a reduction in our faculty, decrease in student enrollment, and more space in which to expand and experiment. O. I. SCI-IMAELZLE Administrators R. R. CHASE In the passing parade of graduating classes, Robert R. ffhase, captain of the good ship Galleon, will be forever remembered, not only because of his capability, but also for his support of and participation in all student activities. A true Sportsman at heart, R, R. can be found ardently enjoying ice skating. horseback riding, and even playing the flute with the orchestra. To Mr. Chase, the Buccaneers say thank you, with the hope that he may feel in his heart a small part, at least, ofthe gratitude which they feel is rightfully due him. o O. I. SCHMAELZLE O. I. Schmaelzle, the Galleon's first mate, imparts cheer- fulness to everyone he meets. Yes, O, I. S. is always a good tonic, but he has a serious side, which he displays only when the situation demands. His easy-going manner and ever-present smile make us forget that he is one of our bosses, and he is accepted by every Buccaneer as a pal. Although this dean of boys is always busy, he finds time to challenge someone to a basketball game in the hope that his statI will be victorious, and chocolate cakes, their trophy. o IRENE M. PAULY Buccaneers are indeed fortunate in having as dean of girls one who is every inch a real Balhoan. Always ready to assist any student, Miss Pauly has earned for herself the name of friend, which is one of the biggest tributes that can be paid to any teacher or administrator. In activities in general, Miss Pauly has the interest of the pupils at heart. Those who assist this vice principal in her othce are indeed privileged. Wards Frnm Uur Administrators BALBOA GIRLS ACTIVE As another term draws to a close, the Buc- caneers look back and attempt to count the days in the light of accomplishments. In- deed, this semester has been no different from any other except in that it may have been a little more active than past ones. The Girls' Council has been especially busy in attempting to reach happy solutions for problems of etiquette which arise is high school life. An all-time precedent was broken when Martha Holdener was elected high senior presi- dent. All in all, the fairer sex on the campus may feel proud of their activities during spring '40. IRENE M.

If knowl- edge, kindness, understanding, and dependability count at all, then Balboa's teaching personnel must surely rank at the top of the list of San Francisco high schools. Consisting of 125 men and women, each with special training in his particular field of work, the stali stands ready to direct the paths of pupils enrolled at Balboa. No task, beneficial to the student, is too tedious for any of them-there is always a capable mind and ready hand to assist those in need. In years to come, as the Buccaneers allow their thoughts to drift down Memory Lane, they will undoubtedly recall, with no small degree of amuse- ment, interesting incidents surrounding members of the faculty, Doc Nunn, with or without his precious goatee, is always good for a laugh, particularly when he digs his lunch sack out of his drawer, for it contains enough for twoffat least. The team of jones, Heinz, and Bronson, which has become a well-known trio over the Oh Teacher radio pro- gram, has kept many an anxious student from win- ning a pair of those coveted slacks or trousers. And Spencer Tracy! Yes, he has roamed the halls for many a term in the person of Frank Kelly. De- tentions---oh, that ninth period club-with its tickets for admission so easily handed out by Miss Garfinkle and Gibby fMr. Gibsonj but they're grand persons after ninth period. Drama always brings to mind Miss Price. Song assemblies spell Salvatore Billeci who carries a scratch pad in his pocket for jotting down ideas for new Buccaneer songs. Laps around the field means Mr. Hill, but Mr. Hill also brings to mind the championship baseball nine. Roller skates remind one of Miss Klaus, who gets her daily dozen during the lunch hourfskating around the campus. Lost textbooks are always accompanied by an immediate call to the libraryfand a bill from Mrs. Homel, which she never seems to forget, much to the student's sor- row. Thirsty bloodhounds on your trail at Alemany tunnel mean Mr. Hamersley. And if space permitted, some little reminder about all other members of the faculty, but written notes are not necessary to remember the genial per- sons who make up the headlines in Balboa's passing parade.

Florence Mitchell, assistant treasurer, appreciates with Esther Rovai, secretary, some funny happening recorded in the minutes of the Board ot Directors. Probably relates to thc discussion as to acceptable costumes for the tamous Sadie Hawkins Day. Student ssncialinn Bucket Brigade and Clean Upu seem to have been the key note for the general discussions and action on the part of the Board of Directors during the present term. Student Court, under the direction of Kenneth Mooslin, was given the task of putting back into use the well-known Bucket Brigade, which serves to assist in the general campus clean-up campaign. Rallies and general student activities have been quite largely de- pendent upon the general condition of the campus, so important has this factor become to the Buccaneers. To Charles Howard and Martha Holdener fell the task of heading this l'Clean Campus committee. Along about the half way mark in the term came the famous Sadie Hawkins Day, one never to be forgot- ten, for the day was well filled with rather humorous stunts and costumes, topped off by a dance in the gym. The scheme of having class instruction in dancing was tried out, with each particular class claiming its own Twp Razr: Ed Lopez, presidentg Gloria Merta, vice president: Esther Rovai, secretary: V anies Skinner, treasurerg Florence Mitchell, assistant treasurer: jack O'Brien, custodian. .llitliflif Razr: Iohn Russo, athletic managerg Paul Postler, yell leader' Bob Antraccoli, Boys' Block B presidentg Joyce Peckham, G,A.A. president: Kenneth Mooslin, Stuccnt C,ourt judgeg May Edwards, Girls' Block B president.

This, and the Sadie Hawkins Day, which took the place of the usual Hello Day had as their aim that of encouraging the making of new acquaintances among the Buccaneers. Incidental activities of the Board of Directors in- cluded the appointment of Bill Bianculli as traffic cap- tain, Evelyn Currier as registrar of voters, and Henry Stelling as assistant registrar. The Blocks committee, headed by Steve Leonoudakis, made a study of the firms who manufacture chenille awards, with the aim of selecting one firm to do the business for Balboa High School. Gloria Merta, vice president of the Student Asso- ciation, conducted all dances sponsored by that organi- zation. The Leap Year dance, in which only the girls could ask the boys to dance, just about topped the list of interesting school affairs. -lim Madsen, publicity m.in.iger, delights at telling Margaret Bonsor his plans tor advertising lS.illm.1's Open House, Shall l do it this way and make them laughfi s,lf'i jim, I uonderf' And all jim does is to chew on that pencil while Maigalet delights :lt his dubious state nl' mind, and just grins.

How Ed Lopez, C.S.F. prexy, and Elma Oddstad, secretary, hope they're for- tunate enough to merit one. Miss Rivers, sponsor, explains to the two officers the procedure to be followed when the Cali- fornia Scholarship Federation roll is called during those last hectic days for the prospective graduates. Of the 373 can- didates for graduation, probably no more than a handful will lay claim to the honors awarded by the scholarship society.

We know that the seniors could not get along without Miss Myra Daly and Mr. john Clarke, who have helped many boys and girls straighten out problems in their programs and have given coun- sel that has headed many toward success.

SENIOR BALL AND CHAPERONES An occasion looked forward to by nearly every senior is the Senior Ball. Sponsored by Mrs. Pardee and Eunice Tegland, chairman, the Senior Ball Committee was in charge of making suggestions on possible hotel and orchestra for the affair. The Chaperones Committee, advised by Miss Knox, with Barbara Beebe, chairman, made arrangements for faculty members to act as chaperones for the Senior Ball.

Scene-Slaalar A wee bit of the heather, Charles Howard captures one and all with whom those laughing eyes and Irish smile come in contact. A personality that is truly given to but one in a million, Charlie possesses a gift of gab that enables him to ramble along endlessly, and strange as it may seem, most of his chatter provokes a laugh from eager listeners. Drama is the love of his life. Indeed, Charlie might Well be called a second Rooney, not only because of his acting ability, but because scene stealing is so much a part of his make-up that it is done almost unconsciously. As low senior prexy, Charlie has definite ideas as to his future in politics as well as further work on the stage. Virtually unknown until the present term, Chuck has won the heart of every Buccaneer, and after turning laughter into tears at his mimics, he is one not easily forgotten. lt's Tn Il Hall Tonight, Full-is. Balboa may well be proud of having one of the finest directors in San Francisco, Miss Anna May Price, who has again led the Cothurnus Players through a profit- able semester. Drama and stage costume classes found great interest in the first activity which included demonstrations of and practice in various types of stage make-up, illustrating the principles underlying effective characterizations for amateur productions. The make-up committee with jackie Horn, chairman, Enid Stout, Doris O'Reilly, Ed Cocks, Charles How- ard, Jim McGill, Harold Vawter, and lane Cheney as assistants, make up all productions with the help of Miss Price. Many happy and worthwhile hours were spent in class while students interpreted Shakespeare in prepar- ation for the Shakespearean Contest. An interesting program for Open House and Fresh- man Orientation was presented by the advanced group of the drama class with the assistance of the stage crew. Bob Von Glahn, chairman, Jackie Horn, Enid Stout, Angelina Lopez, Bob johnson, jane Cheney, Doris O'Reilly, Bella Xepoleas, Elmina Bontempi, and Alice Westphal built the program to show the value to the individual student of taking drama. Miss Mallet's art classes made effective puppets which enabled the Cothurnus Players to do some work in puppetry. jackie Horn, Enid Stout, Angelina Lopez, PAGE 'l HlR'1'Y'ElGI-IT Doris O'Reilly, Charles Howard, jim McGill, and Harold Vawter participated actively in the new project, which proved an interesting experience. April 30 rang up the curtain on the term play, The Northern Lightsf' a delightful musical which took place in Sweden, about a Swedish-American mother who took her son to that country to find him a wife. The young man fell in love with a gypsy who turned out to be a Swedish girl who had been stolen when she was a baby. The music and costumes of the gypsy band added sparkle and brilliance to the story. Mrs. Norgard's mixed chorus gave the play the proper musical background. Miss Connell assisted in training the Swedish folk dances, while Miss Essner's stage costume class designed and made all costumes. Stage management was under the direction of Mr. Heinz. Credit should go to Barbara Beebe, Barbara Grones, Enid Stout, Gerda Thron, lim McGill, Erland Carl- son, Joyce Peckham, jackie Horn, Bob Von Glahn, jane Cheney, Harold Vawter, Elma Oddstad, Charles Howard, Seemah Battat, Doris O'Reilly, Angelina Lo- pez, Bella Xepoleas, Frank Sylvestri, andjack Bramy for their interesting characterizations. Officers of the Cothurnus Players of the spring term are: President, Angelina 'Lopez, vice president, Doro- thy Camuffo, secretary, Elma Oddstad, treasurer, Bar- bara Beebeg and publicity manager, :lack Bramy. PAGE THIRTY-NINE ,si 1 GIRLS' CHORVS ORCHESTRA BAND MIXED IHORU Balhna's Barbara Baaha A cheery smile, a pair of twinkling brown eyes, and a song! Wlifm other than our own Barbara Beebe, beloved by Balboa during her three years stay with the Buccaneers, not only for her glorious voice, but for her lovable dis- position. Barbara's singing career began while she was a student at Aptos Junior High School, when she sang in a pageant, later appearing over the radio on a school program, and finally in 'Pinaforef' During her high school years, she has crowded into the busy days three solo appearances over KPO, a television demonstration for radio experts fthe first of its kind in San Franciscoj, five engagements at Treasure Island, two concerts at the Music Center in Berkeley, and numerous programs for the D.A.R., Califor- nia Club, P.T.A., and St. Francis Wfood Musical Club. Wliat does the future hold? Barbara hopes it will be opera, and her plans now provide for study toward that end after graduation. Wlizitever may come, the Buccaneers know that to such a grand person it can be only successf the fulfillment of her dreams. Balboa will never forget the little girl who three years ago sang Vienna Dreams at the first meeting of the Class of june '40. PAGE FORTY QQ? as in LINCOLN JOHNSON AT DRUMS astlars Music among the Buccaneers continues in the same popular vein it has occupied for several years, with orchestra, band, and choruses each coming in for a share of the applause. Preparation for the San Jose Festival claimed most of the A Capella Choir's time, for this event meant competition with choirs of all peninsula and bay schools. Principal songs of the Choir include Cheru- bim Hymn, All Through the Night, and Wake Ye Shepherds, with Barbara Beebe as soloist, and Mrs. Norgard, director. A benefit movie on April 19 was a source of revenue for gowns which the choir will wear for all public appearances. This term, Hfty-two girls, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Norgard, make up the largest Girls' Chorus in the history of the school. Most popular among the songs studied for their public appearances by this organization were The Romaika, Panis Angelicus, 'Rapturous Hour, and Green Branches, with BOYS' CHORUS BLUE BOYS l elnd Elaine Datwyler taking the solo parts, and Carmeta Sacchi acting as accompanist. Thirty-four boys, accompanied by Eugene Jensen, spent many enjoyable hours singing Spirit of Balboa High, a composition of Mr. Billeci, director. Annual R.O.T.C. competition provided incentive for the industrious practice of the school band of eighty boys under the baton of Mr. Kinl-:el and student bandmaster, Glen Jones. The orchestra, under Mr. Billeci's guidance, enter- tained the school at assemblies and during Music Week with such numbers as The Unfinished Sym- phony, Egyptian Ballet, and Atlantis Suite. Blue Boys, guided by Mr. Billeci assisted by Fred Marcucci, provided music for all school dances and parties. Harmony students studied advanced composition and listened to symphonic phonograph pieces under the guidance of Miss Robinson. P-KCI?

Wlizlt can be done when such dehnite self- satisfaction envelopes these two editors? Maybe they could be convinced that each should lean a little in the other's favor-yes, maybe. Well, it was only a suggestion, and no solution to this grave problem has been arrived at. To tell the truth, there probably is no answer. Sigh, sigh! This is really very nerve-wracking. Flash!

PAGE FORTY-FOU R The typical family catering to the very typical spoiled daughter enter a toymaker's shop to appease the daugh- ter's wishes for a doll. Thus went the theme of the jinx of spring '40, The dollmaker, in his anxiety to sell his wares, displays all of his masterpieces of ani- mated doll life to the fickle daughter. But in vain! She could not be satished. The toymaker, jesse Hen- riques, well satished himself with the art he had achieved in his dolls, could not be discouraged. These dolls are not mere playthings, but animated, almost human beings, for they sang, danced, talked, and played. As the daughter viewed each artful creation, it entertained but did not satisfy her. In the course of the story, the painted doll, Jane Cheney, and the tin soldier, Jack Gregory, took leave of the toy shop and were married. To celebrate the hap- py event, the 'lack-in-the-box, Wesley Donner, sug- gested putting on a program, each doll to take part. Even Confucius was there, in the person of our prexy, lid Lopez. The petite French doll, Barbara Beebe, very beauti- fully gave out with The Heart That's Free. Other vocalists who were under the scrutiny of the fickle daughter were: Olive Ray, Patsy Haughton, Richard Wiigner, Elaine Datwyler, Lorraine Harrington, Flor- ence Allen, Bill Richardson, and Seemah Battat. Each of these, though he entertained royally, was also un- successful in selling himself. From 'way down South came joe Silva to give his version of Old Man River. Ah! Dancers! A lovely, swishing, cellophane hula skirt, swaying to the graceful movements of Evangeline Hernandez's lithe form, and Alice Westphal, doing her Mexican hat dance, were roundly applauded by the audience. Then came the Blue Boys with their re- markable rendition of 'little Brown jug and In the Mood. Among the celebrities present were Henry Aldrich, President Roosevelt, Bob Burns, Lionel Barrymore, and jean Hersholt, all in the person of the talented impersonator, Harold Vawter. Have you ever almost split with laughter? You would have had you seen and heard the very comic antics of jim McGill, Paul Postler, Evard Ellison, and jim Phillips. Adding to the zest of the program were the group dances, including the latest in smooth swing and a Dutch dance minus jam and jive. All in all, the entire Jinx, from beginning to end, was a spell-binding success. PAUI3 I:OR'I'Y-FIV! ,..-11 ii With honor societies and clubs again in full swing, the student finds that they play an ever-increasing part in the life of the school. Even though organizations are not overcrowded, an active interest is manifested in them, and with the more-than-thirty societies offered to the Buccaneers a club enthusiast has a wide choice from which he may select a hobby or a group in which to further his interests. Since clubs are, at present, an extra-curricular activity, sponsors who have given of their time to assist students in their search for knowl- edge are entitled to a vote of thanks. PAGE FORTY-SIX Balhna's Urqanizalinns Judge Kenneth Mooslin, who wields the big stick in student court as well as being an outstanding R,O.T.C. officer, certainly lays down the law to two offenders, and his verdict is backed up by Wallace Leight, bailiff fextreine leftj, Dorothy Strasdin, associate judge, and Ruth Novello, clerk.

In his second year of varsity com- petition, Bob was honored with the position of third string All City center. O'Rourke has held virtually every position on the team and begrudges the few moments he has spent on the bench. With two more years of play left, O'Rourke is expected to reach great heights in the field of casaba tossing. Bob is the brother of Harry O'Rourke, one of the best prep basketball players ever to graduate from a San Francisco high school. If Bob can im- prove as he goes along, Coach Mitchel will have a great center around which to build future cham- pionship teams. Bob, a picture of rhythm and speed, is a willing mixer and can hold his own in any class of play. Buccaneer lfasah:-1 Season VARSITY BASKETBALL After an impressive practice session of seven wins and no losses, the Buccaneer basketball quintet ap- peared to be one of the Hnest teams in Balboa's his- tory. But Old Man Defeat was destined to strike at the Pirate five. The first game found Bud', Good- year, star guard, out with an infected toe. The next week, Goodyear was back at Kezar Pavilion fighting his hardest for Balboa, while Captain Frank Mc- Intyre was in the hospital, suffering from a serious attack of double pneumonia which shelved him for the rest of the season. Then jim Tomasello, ace for- ward, was also put on the sidelines because of a foot infection. In the first league encounter, the Buccaneer quintet downed the Fighting Irish of Sacred Heart, 26-24, with Bob O'Rourke grabbing high scoring honors by caging 10 points. Mission was the next victim for the casabans, as the Buccaneers emerged victorious by a 26-24 score over the defenseless Bears, which gave Balboa the Mission District Championship. Then Commerce, holders of the cellar position, set back the Balboans in an overtime game in which Ed Dunne starred by tanking 13 points. PAGE FIl'l'Y FOUR After this defeat, the Buccaneer followers watched their quintet fall into a slump when St. Ignatius, Poly, Washington, and Galileo blasted all hopes of punc- turing the win column. Although Balboa hoopsters did not have such an outstanding record, they will furnish plenty of mater- ial for next year's team. 1 30-POUND BASKETBALL Faced with the problem of moulding a whole new team from green material, Coach Louis Haas guided the Baby Buccaneers through a stormy, and rather fruitless season. In the first league encounter, the Balboa little men were edged out by the Sacred Heart little men, 26 to 24. This naturally lowered the morale of the Baby Pirates, but a more distinct blow was soon to follow. Mission, Lowell, and Commerce, in that order downed all hopes of placing the home team on top. The Baby Buccaneers showed signs of coming out of the rut in the St. Ignatius tilt, which ran into an overtime period, but again were edged out. There- after, the Buccaneer Babes were unable to break the jinx and in the final affair, gained honors by winning the Cellar Championship when downed by the Galileo Lions, 26 to 16. umm' W3 J Rl BRI 11 t ti out 1x1 n l s 11 11 ILI If X 41 14 1 X . . , . , , 111111 1 llxw, 4 wwx Y' - 1' ,ynu '-.1 .5 'L .

Paul is doing wonders here on the campus. His coach will tell you that he is one of the hardest workers on the Buccaneer team, and may, while a prepster, break his brother's high school vault record of 13 feet 3K2 inches set in 1933. After a training period in his own backyard, under the able coaching of his brother George, Paul, although only a sophomore, has cleared 12 feet 1 inch, and is expected to improve this mark. Whether or not Varoff goes to college, he has an excellent prospect of becoming a world figure in the track lield for he has all the necessary grace, speed, and power of which champions are molded. No matter what he does, or how high he goes, he will always be one of Balboa's best loved and most admired athletes. liinllerpatll Burners nf Ballina This year's spikesters, under the guidance of Coach Ray Scott, proved to have one of the most successful regular practice seasons in Balboa's history, going through the entire term with only two losses, not counting the results of the City Meet. Opening their season with Burlingame, they emerged victorious by a score of 71-24, but bowed to Lowell to the tune of 85-25. Poly was Balboa's next victim as the Pirate spikesters ran over them 63-40. The next two meets following were triangular with Balboa, Washington, and jefferson as competitors in the first contest. Balboa emerged victorious by a score of 8522 to Washing- ton's 35, and .Iefferson's 16W. Thexsecond meet found Balboa, Washington, and Miigop as rivals. There could only be one victor and the5Balboa trackmen were determined that it would be they, and so 'it was, with Balboa winning an im- pressive victory with 68 points over Mission's 36, and Washington's 18V2. Individual stars on the cinder path were Tony Piazza, Vic Zimin, Paul Varoif, and Ken Mooslin, the Big Four. Zimin, the only man in the city who compares favorably with George Canfield of Lowell, is an all-around track man. In the triangular meet with Mission and Washington, Zimin claimed a third PAGE FIFTY-SIX place in the 100-yard dash, first in low and high hurdles, second in broad jump and pole vault. Varoff continues to claim first honors in pole vault, while Piazza takes top spot in the mile run, and has a good chance to win first place in the City Meet. Mooslin is accorded a good chance to come through in the City Meet in both discus and shot put events. As the Galleon goes to press, the Buccaneers' cinder team, along with Lowell and Commerce, figures to be one of the main competitors for the A.A.A. crown. LIGHTWEIGHT TRACK Coach Clarke's lightweight tracksters, molded from a turnout of green material, resorted to a rugged training schedule in an effort to produce a future var- sity champi:-nship team. The members of the team, though small in stature, are great in spirit, for in their encounters with bigger teams by grim determina- tion they emerged victorious. Two of the team's outstanding members are Shel- don Crawford, speedy little man and hurdler supreme, Gene Suacci, Tyrone of the track team and an able broad jumper. One could go on and on, and still have many stars to name, for every man in his own right is a champion. r 1 l l s l by aw A ,. r , H 'EQ . waive-fi We 5,7 if CINDER SHORTS Unlimited track team.

Last year, Bob played third base, but as the team was weakened through graduation, Coach Hill shifted him to shortstop. The superb fielding ability of Antraccoli, which is nothing short of sensational, is one of the main reasons for the Buccaneers' winning the A.A.A. crown last year. Chief among the advantages derived from An- traccoli's field generalship is his ability to instill in the rest of the team a spirit of fiery cooperation. . ff He serves as the sparkplug of the team with his pep- pery remarks. A . Because of all of his achievements on the dia- ij' mond, Antraccoli is considered one of the most yi outstanding ball players and field generals Balboa has seen in many a year, and is almost a cinch to claim i'All City honors. Eugene Hill, undisputedly one of the outstanding coaches in San Francisco, deserves recognition for the two championship teams which he has turned out for Balboa. Pennant Winners Defend Erewn One of the main reasons why the spring term is always so important and interesting is that King Base- ball takes the limelight in all the San Francisco high schools. Although the Buccaneers have won only three games and lost four, as the Galleon goes to press, their expert coach, Gene Hill, feels they still have a chance of getting into the O'Shaughnessy play-offs and winning the championship. The chance will not be possible unless they defeat the Washington Eagles in their one remaining game. At the beginning of the season, Coach Hill de- scribed his team as superior because of the return- ing regulars. Bad weather postponed the Pirate's first two games, however, and threw the team off stride from which they could not recover during the re- mainder of the season. They dropped the opening game to the Mission Bears, but as a rejuvenated team they came back to down the Galileo Lions by a 4-2 score. Old Man Defeat stared the Buccaneer nine in the face again when they lost a heartbreaker to St. Ignatius by a 3-2 PACI' YIFTY-EIGHT score. In one of the finest pitching duels of the sea- son, Ward Russo outpitched Paul Orsi of Lowell to beat the Cards, 2-1. In the next prep encounter, the Bucaneers were nosed out by the Fighting Irish of Sacred Heart, 6-5. Balboa's next opponent was the Commerce Bull- dogs, one of the league's strongest teams. Facing No Hit Luscatoff, the defending champions lost, 6-1. Ward Ruso hurled another game but the support given him was not up to Balboa's standards. The Buccaneers then travelled to Funston to trounce Polytechnic to the tune of 12-O. Ed Flora pitched great ball for Balboa, striking out 14 Parrots, while his teammates gathered 12 hits, two of which were home runs by Captain Antraccoli and Pete Davis. Although the 1940 team did not live up to advance expectations, it was always trying until the last out was made, and was one of the most spirited teams ever to hit the diamond. The Pirates lost Antraccoli, Davis, Wenner, Wieland, and Hastings via the gradu- ation route, but they will be afforded a fine chance for the title next year. PAGE FIITTY-NINE You Make the Crew h Pull Coach Granville Thomas and the thirties crew see that the Balboa boat is ship-shape before the start of the opening sprint races, and below, the Bucs' unlimited crew inch across the line ahead of Lick gain a sweet victory. Thomas, by his interest in this vigorous has brought Balboa's name up to the top of the list of San Francisco prep crews. With added interest each year, and new schools entering crews, competition will increase, but as long as Balboa has Coach Thomas, championship crews from Balboa will be first on the Pacific. The Minor Sports Prnqram CREW Balboa's varsity crew team is really going after that championship this year. After defeating Lowell by four lengths and defending champion St. Ignatius by nearly two lengths, the bold Buccaneers are training their sights on the Sacred Heart, Mission, and Galileo oarsmen. Of these three, the Mission Bears appear to be the toughest of the opponents. Thus, when the two undefeated crews, Mission and Balboa, lock oars, the struggle should virtually decide the 1940 champion- ship. Varsity crew, led by coxswain Clarence Carlos and steered by tiny Steve Leonoudakis, pilot, is strengthened by two returning vets , Rudy Marzi and Harry Michelsen. Coach Thomas has the squad placed at points where they will do the most good for the team. At starboard are Stroke Ben McWhinney, Ray Scott, Al Clayton, Ernie Cohn, Bob Dillon, and Warren Haskins. On port side are Stroke Tom Reardon, Rudy Marzi, Harry Mich- elsen, Al Carstens, Tony Kuzmanich, and jim Hardy. PAGE SIXTY Put them all together and you have Balboa's champion- ship-bound crew. TENNIS Balboals tennis enthusiasts, under the direction of Coach Leste, are getting a squad together for the annual competition on May 20. Nineteen boys have been play- ing after school on days that were wet, cold, and windy, hoping to be among the twelve players chosen for the tournament. So far, the round robin elimina- tion system has been going along smoothly, and Coach Lester is sure to have a good singles and doubles squad to enter into the competitive tourney. SWIMMING Handicapped by lack of returning veterans as well as able swimmers, Coach Mitchel has had no easy row in his attempt to whip into shape a team capable of meeting other city squads in competition. Short dis- tance swimmers claimed 50 of the 35 boys who turned out for practice, leaving few for diving and long dis- tance events.

Eight o'clock every Wednesday morning found the officers and managers of the various sports meeting to plan bigger and better things for the sports-minded feminine population of Balboa. Play day, dances, ban- quets, and tableaux, all high-lights in feminine social life, were planned and carried out successfully by the hard-working girls on the Athletic Board. Ice skating, sport of spills and thrills. Irene Miller and Lorraine Smith are examples of the talent that was exhibited every Wednesday afternoon. The group was instructed by Mr. Charles Stein, sponsored by Miss Connell, and managed by june Gruber. Zoe Longfield, another Balboa miss, as shining as her skates, although not in the after-school group, skated off with second prize in the State competition. They were all wet! Quite literally, and actually, were these swimmers who met at jefferson Pool each week.

PAGE SIXTY-FOUR Feminine Faneies One of the favored sports of the spring term, tennis, was instructed and managed by Miss Connell and Norma Chiminello respectively. Only those who had learned the fundamentals of the sport were eligible so that it was possible to provide the fun of tournament games for the group. Ambitious Balboa golferettes tramped over Hard- ing Golf Course every Thursday with Mrs. Pardee and Virginia Brant in the lead. Feminine William Tells and Howard Hills gathered oT1 the field every Wednesday to prove their worth. Even if the arrow landed far from the bulls- eye, fun galore was provided by the archery group un- der the sponsorship of Miss Bell, who was assisted by Katherine Eterovich. Because Badminton has grown so popular, it was di- vided into three groups, sponsored by two outstanding players, Miss Powell and Miss Todd. With such coaches as these, it is small wonder that the girls really learned the game. Inter-class baseball games provided keen competi- tion, with the seniors walking off with the title of champs as usual. The seniors are managed by Mar- garet Osuna. The sluggers were divided by Miss Bell according to classes to create competition between the four groups. Sponsored by Miss Ligda, who is assisted by Martha Holdener, manager, the volleyball group met on the courts on Wednesdays, for lots of fun and fast playing, and to gain a real knowledge of an exciting sport in which to participate.

All the woes of a school nurse!

As the last units of the buildings were erected. and the temporary shacks moved away, a stately educational institution came to be known as The Friendly School, so- called by the late Miss Hazel Fisher, who was then the school's vice principal. All who come upon the campus, whether they be students, graduates, or merely visitors who are unacquainted with its customs, cannot help but feel its friend- liness, or to be conscious of the beauty of the place. Beautiful palms, of which there are none lovelier even at the world- famous Palm Springs, invite friendly con- versations beneath their swaying branches. Even the Sun Dial, a gift of one of the graduating classes causes a tug at the heart-strings of those who have passed through Balboa's portals, for on it is inscribed a thought which could well be one for all readers to pause for a moment and consider: Remember only the sunny hours. How happy life could be for all if only happymeniories could be recalled! c s Buccaneer c Personalities Martha Holdener, that popular miss who does nothing more than upset applecarts, did that very thing again, when she won the senior election and rode victoriously into the presidency of the graduating group. 'lim McGill, little Freddie Bartholomew who has stolen many a show on the auditorium stage found one show he could not steal when he came up against Martha in the finals, so he's again the good sport that is so typical of the entire McGill clan, and tells the new prexy that after all it was a good, clean fight, and he is behind her 100 per cent. That campus romeo Red Jensen, who is so bashful that he runs at the sound of a girl's step, listens eagerly to the amusing stories being told by Captain Frank Mclntyre of the casaba var- sity. Well, drawls Red, maybe you did develop alot of vim, vigor, and what have you by throwing that old melon through the hoop, but if you ever want some real practice in developing muscle and personality like mine, just try tackling big guys like Pete McPhail of Commerce or Bill Joslyn of Lowell and if there's anything left of you, it will swell up with pride, believe me. m -KW l ., Allll en. the Uppnsite Page . .. Ah, spring, beautiful spring! But what this season has done to certain leading citizens of the campus is mighty peculiar, the evidence of which is on the op- posite page. For instance, jimmy Hughes suddenly de- cided he was the muscular type, but brother jack and Chubby Francis just laughed and laughed. Even Vinnie Romelfanger was caught by the rugged spirit and proceeded to rough up Harry Nolan, just as Ra- mona Castell and 'leanne Rutherford tripped into view. .As usual Lydia Rydman and Esther Rovai had their thoughts on fashions and campus gossip. Wlio have we grinning at us? None other than the famous impersonator, Harold Vawter, whose Henry PAM AEVENTY-SIX Aldrich always provokes a laugh. Fellow block B ers jack O'Brien and Wzilt jordan seem a trifle on the sen- timental side. Woncler how much jack wants to bor- row? Ilene Backman and Elma Oddstad, past and present editors of the Galleon, come to the conclusion that they are right and the world is wrong, while Gladys Diamond and Eunice Tegland decide to argue the point. Wfard Russo serenaded songstress Seemah Battat with a few hot notes, but Seemah neatly put him in his place with a few high notes of her own. Shame, shame on Ray, teases Pat Castellano as he observes Ray Esposto's drooping socks. So undignifiedf' PAGE SLVIiN'l'Y-SIiYIEN PAGE SEVENTY-EIGHT WW ...wmv l 40 llunl-iinqs ...Water and Eqq After winning the annual crew races, Balboa's oarsmen proceeded to dunk their coxswain. As you can plainly see, tradition and coxswain are passed from hand to hand. The cameraman catches Miss Klaus in an informal shot taking a spin around the campus. Noonday finds Honor Society members with their noses to the ground during their semi-annual initiation. Everything from smoked glasses to smelly onions held the onlookers spellbound. The unlucky number Q1 5D of new members, after many embarrassing moments, was added to the list of Honor Society members. Kay Kreifels awarded Paul Postler an egg shampoo, while Bill Steenberg, was offered a tasty UQ onion by smiling Esther Rovai. As is the fashion of the year, Eleanor Barbieri laid her heart at jim McGill's size 12's only to be refused. Bill Steenberg, Bal- boa's golden-haired boy, put his heart fand tonguej into the gooey business of licking up the contents of a broken egg. More than one red nose was in evidence after that different kind of egg-rolling contest. Even jovial Mr. Chase joined in the festivities of the day and held two noisy Charlie McCarthy's on his knees. ,-an 'Nb .lr PAGE SEVENTY-NINE X I' S FAREWELL ' I O R S May Prosperity and Happiness Follow You Throughout the Coming Years BALBOA HIGH SCHOCL STUDENT ASSOCIATIGN PAC!
