Many ot our changes come about through conferences, through elections, or through some word that may be said at assembly or in student council meeting. The develop- ments have taken place and we are during the current year revising the constitution to classify the position of the Board of Directors and its relation to the Student Council, at the same time cutting down the Board of Directors from unwieldy numbers to a more practicable size. The initiations of the Block B clubs is held within closed doors instead of in the front yard as formerly. This change has been generally approved as more effective and im- pressive, making the ceremony convey more meaning to the candidates. Setting up the auditorium patrol for rallies and assemblies has been an effective means of controlling any inattentive attitudes of students. This again cannot very well be pic- tured, but various hands have been at work planning out these important moves. These changes all go with the program and the various student affairs that are regularly pictured in the Galleon features. Dean of Girls MRS. MARTHA SCHAl.Ll2R As the Galleon sails forth once again, another volume in the history of Balboa's student activities is written. The records in picture and word are merely reminders of the many happy hours spent in work and play, and of the many friendships made while working and playing together. High school years pass quickly, but they leave a perma- nent stamp on the lives and personalities of those who have lived them. The things well done leave a feeling of pride and accomplish- ment and the people with whom we associate during these happy years are often the people who remain friends for life. With the years, too, comes a deeper appreciation of all that Balboa has meant to her many graduates. May this volume too take its place on the book- shelves and in the hearts of all who have co- operated in the many activities here recorded. ax, V 'Nt ...-,,,,,. .,.-,,,..,... W -. --.1 I D e a n of B o y s MR. JAMES MORENA Our school offers tremendous opportunities for growth and development of both mind and body. We should take advantage of these opportunities so that we can enjoy and appre- ciate the things that we encounter each day of our lives. We have a right to expect some- thing out of education, but at the same time we must be ready to give much of our time and our efforts, for after all, the quality of what we get out of school is the same quality as what we put in. We have a responsibility to our parents, our school, and ourselves. Let us band togetherg join our hands, hearts and spirits, and move forward. There is no limit to what a group can accomplish which learned to work together. Let each of us try at all times to be useful and cooperative mem- bers of our school. We are proud of Balboa and the accomplishments of its students. PAGE NINE Balboa's Faculiy .... Aced, Miss N. Anderson, Miss R. Baber, Miss E. Balzarini, Mrs. F. Barsotti, Mr. Henry F.

Its functions consist of reports given by class presi- dents throughout the school. Mr. Chase, Mr. Hall, or Mr. Morena is usually present at a Council meeting to act as an advisor. BILL LYNCH, Spring Pref. MR. HALL, Advifor PAGE TWELVE ,J J I The tradition of having a weekly council meeting has proved to be very useful in combating troublesome uprisings of student problems. The S.A. is very dependent upon the Council, inas- much as the council is now the leading organization in the association. IRV BELTRAME, Fall PreJ. . I t ph 5 v .A, J. fi ., L g ilflt if?-. 1 .

This class was full of school spirit. Various committees planned activities for the latter part of the term and immediately began to get under way. The Senior Ball was a gala event which ninety couples attended, held at the Fairmont Hotel on january 22 in the Terrace Room. Most couples had dinner at famous well- known hotels and restaurants before the ball. Following rehearsal for graduation on jan- uary 28, the fall class inaugurated a new tra- dition called the Pilgrimage as part of the Senior Day activities. The class formed a two- column line with class and student association ollicers at the head, visiting each landmark about school which recalled fond memories in a speech given by various seniors. The Pilgrimage ended in the cafeteria with re- PAGI2 SIXTIZFN Fall Sponsor MR. HENRY BARSOTTI . . . class sponsor for fall '48, assumed this position when he first came to Balboa during February, 1946. Chris Firatt was president of the class at that time. Mr, Barsotti has enjoyed being with this class very much, and after the class graduated from Bal- boa, he experienced a sad and lonely feeling in his heart fit says herelj. The class always had a great deal of spirit since the first day it came to Balboa. There were always picnics, hikes, weiner-roasts, and dances and parties at Sigmund Stern Grove, and then the traditional cake sales. Mr. Barsotti always tried very hard to please his class, and he did with success. He started the traditional Aloha Dance, given for the gradu- ating class and The Pilgrimage, which recalled fond memories about Balboa. The seniors of fall 1948 have completed their high school training, and to them Mr. Barsotti re- gretfully says good-bye.

He also passed the enginering test at California with 96 per cent, an outstanding record. PAGE TWENTY-THREE Class Hisfory The work of many hands can be ex- pressed by the activities of the high senior class of '49 at Balboa. After three and one- half years of participating in school activities, they have finally reached the top. Under the leadership of Charles Cresci and Mr. Haas, the events of the H-12 year came off success- fuuy. Many hardships were met and dissolved, and midnight oil was burned to make this term a successful oneg arguments arose and were subdued by the officers. Among various things accomplished by this high-spirited class, were dances-namely, the Hello Day Dance and the 'Christmas Dancej' a picnic and dance at Sigmund Stern Groveg and cake sales at school. The long-awaited Senior Week brought its splendid crowded calendar of events. There were the barbeque, Senior Jinx, races, and an all-around good time at Adobe Creek. There was Senior Church Service, bringing the sol- emn realization that one will not see many PAGE TWENTY-FOUR H-I2 Sponsor H-12 SPONSOR MR. LOUIS HAAS . . . is a graduate of Mission High, where he was outstand- ing on the football field. From Mission he went to the University of California, where he graduated in 1934, after live years' background of physical education and hygiene. He has been teaching at Balboa for seven years, mainly as gym teacher. This is his first sponsorship of a senior class. Mr. Haas took over when the class was in its high-ten term. His counselling of many senior students enables him to find out the desired activities on a confiden- tial basis. Mr. Haas is also coach of the 110's and 120's basketball teams and coach of the varsity baseball. He does a fine job of both of these. Since he has been sponsor, the class has had three dances and the junior Prom, besides two cake sales. He thinks the students got a very good buy on their senior sweaters. Class Presideni CHARI.IiS CRIiSCI This popular, high-'n'-mighty, brown-eyed senior president came lrum Saint Ignatius in the fall term of VIH. Although new here he was immediately elected registry president uf Ili? and went on the 'I-il plan. Ile hetxune assistant editor on the school paper staH, the Iiiietaiieeig and has climbed to the height of managing editor this term. Among his various jobs are member nf liuys' Cuuticil, Board of Diretnus, and the Student Council. He likes hot apple pie and uillee but most ot all, girls, He is particular about the latter, thinking they should he pretty, quiet. intelligent, and feminine. At the tup of his dislikes are Iiuinewurk and staying home nights. Aftergraduatiun Charlie plans t1igututl1L'sCI1imI on the hill, fl.CS.If. He hasn't made up his mind yet, but if we know Charlie, whatever it is, he will be xi success and everyone he knows will like him. . . . Spring, 1949 of these friends again. There was the Senior Breakfast, where eating food was hard with all the excitement in the air. There were fare- well talks by Mr. Chase, Mrs. Sehaller, Mr. Morena, and Mr. Haas to bring tears to the eyes, There was Move-up Assembly, where we wore our caps and gowns for the nrst time and marched through the auditorium to the stage, the band playing the always-beautiful Aida. lt was thrilling to see the in-coming high seniors take their places in the senior section. The graduates realize that the spotlight is on them, but all they can think about is This is it! This is the last time I shall see all these kids together. This might be the last time I shall ever see some of them. Gee, I wish we were starting our high senior term all over again! To many of the graduates, Move-up Assembly means even more than graduation itself. But all-in-all, the graduates are saying to Balboa So long, and thanks for the memory.

Under the editorship of Steve Jamison and Mary Brill, things pro- ceeded rapidly, by the end of the term the yearbook was living up to its slo- gan, First to the engraver, first to the printer, first to the school. CWe hopelj Several new variations in composition were introduced, such as an enlarged snapshot section, new layout of the sen- ior section, and a new-type cover liner. The new skipper, Mrs. Burton, did an able job working against strenuous odds, such as handling an untrained and unfamiliar staff. She was a help and a benefit to the whole class with her energy and initiative. The theme of the Galleon, The work of many hands, is representative of our school. The Galleon, the Buccaneer, and all other organizations are the efforts of many people, not just a few. The purpose of this yearbook is to bring the school to the students and to show pictorially what makes Balboa fine. CfofEditors . . . Department heads . , .

The paper succeeded against hardships, since its admired sponsor, Miss jenness Hudson, was away on sabbatical leave. The substitutes that followed her, however, did an able job with a new and unfamiliar staff. All Buccaneer issues were devoted to subjects that were interesting to both students and faculty.

The term play Our Hearts Were Young and Gay,'l an enter- taining comedy, was a smash success. A Broadway hit and the motion picture version, had created much interest in Balboa's theater-going public. Great acclaim was bestowed on the director of these plays, Mrs, Anni Mae Dickson. Sacrificing her own free moments, she faced many obstacles, but believing that the show must go on. she conquered these obstacles to put Balboa on top. The cast was excellentfPat Lynch QCornelia Otis Skinner, and Leslyn Ryan QEmily Kimbroughj turned in superb performances. Others sharing top billing were Alice Lord, Mervyn Murphy, Don Powell, and Lloyd Russell, all of whom performed exceptionally well. The supporting cast, including jim Rutter, john Jones, Dawn Kidd, Jim McLennan, Vivian Breslin, Calla Tanner, Dolores Danner, jeannette Bell, Lor- raine Capurro, Neil Jordan and joe Brusati, all showed flashes of future greatness. Credit is also due to those behind the scenes who put in many hours without acclaim. These include the technical advisor, A.

The Admirable Crichtonf' by J. M. Barrie, deserved the tremendous applause it re- ceived because it proved that a drama built on other lines than those of common problem plays of its day, can be as entertaining and a great deal more satisfying to the intelligence. This play was based on the story of a butler devoted to his employers. The family decided to go on a cruise and the butler was to attend as a valet. They became shipwrecked on an island and were marooned there for two years. During this time the butler, Crichton, be- came Lord over all, and fell in love with the eldest of the three beautiful daughters of the family. just as the time drew near for the wedding ceremony they were STAGE CREXV-A--ACTION rescued and taken back to London, England. The fam- ily readjusted themselves, and Crichton once more be- came the butler.

California Scholarship Federation 'l'he Balboa Chapter of the CSF, under the capahle supervision ot' Miss Natalia Aced, has become one ol the most outstanding organizations. The CSI: mem, hers have taken charge ol' many duties around schoolg tor example: the sale of hook covers has become a regular duty, and 535.00 was turned over to the hand to help pay lor uniforms. CSI is vitally interested in supporting school projects, such as coathing service to students, and seeing each morning that no hooks are taken from the lihrary, ln the spring semester CSF played host to all the other chapters in San Francisco. They planned and carried out a well-organized program for their visitors. Their guest speaker for the afternoon was Honorable Nlill. -IURIJAN Judge Twain Michelson. The citywide conference, a great success, was an activity which its memhers may take pride in remembering. CSF has also participated in an excursion to the Post Otiice, a visit to the University of California, a visit to an opera, traditional hutterhall sale, tiormal initiation, and installation teag tour to Richmond Union High district meeting. City College tea, tour and tea at Lone Mountain College, and the banquets honoring graduates. They are always searching tor new ideas for coming events. CSF has proved its usefulness and willingness to participate in all phases of school life, and that it can be relied upon in any situation. SPRING C.S.F. i we .ef PAGE SFVFNTY-THREE SGT. LINGG SGT. MUSTARD SGT. HOOVER CAPTAIN KEYSER I T o Balboas R.O. Once more Balboa surprised itself and all the other R.O.T.C.'s in the city. Winning a superior school rating and one cup after another, the R.O.T.C. fulfilled the expectation of its instructors. With the addition of Sgt. james Lingg to the teaching staff and the introduction of new methods of instruction, our R.O.T.C. surged ahead against city-wide competition. The term was crowded with activities such as the Officers' Ball, Saber Club initiation, Block 'B initiation, displays at meet- ings, and many other activities. Advanced courses in military tactics, discipline, and map reading, among numerous other courses are pre- sented to the cadets in an interesting and easily under- standable form. The course is something that will be of definite use in later years if any military career is be- ing considered. All the material given to the students is a combination of everything needed to yield a large amount of training and discipline. The instructors are all qualified in the subjects upon which they specialize, and it is at their decision that students are advanced or lowered depending on merit. The officers of the Fall '48 term were Colonel Attilio Spagnuolag Lt. Adjutant, Al Grubaugh, staff. The three PAGE SEVENTY-FOUR C. Baffallon Company commanders were Capts. john Obst and Don Price and lst Lt. Ed Adams, the Lts. included Gene Stanfield, Eldred Parenti, Frank Cook, Bill George, jaye Nyrhila, Forest Wilde and George Frank- lin. The spring staff was headed by Col. Don Price, Major Ed Adams, Capt. Al Grubaugh, lst Lt. Eldred Parenti. The companies were led by 1st Lt. Forest Wilde, Frank Cook, and jaye Nyrhila. The Lts. were Steve Jamison, Carl johnson, Bill George, Ray Brauns- worth, Bob Nolan, and Bruce Reising. Working against big odds with new instructors, new cadets, and a whole new turnover of officers, it was hard to make anything of the battalion. But the whole body enthusiastically pitched in and won for Balboa honors which were hard worked for, but poorly ac- claimed. The R.O.T.C. has always had to work hard for its honors, since student support is not possible. This yearfs Galleon theme is, The Work of Many Hands, and the R.O.T.C. is one school organization that works hand in hand to bring honor to the school, often against lack of support from the student body itself. This is one body of students whose hands have really worked. .Sl I wr, ri H' 3 as fd . . .t gg In X , 2 fx it ,Qs Xb A . Fl 1. ' .. ' 4 , ' .

This year we equalled our most successful all-round sport season. To the coaches mainly re- sponsible for this achievement, the Galleon tips its hats Sports activities are definitely the work of many willing and able hands. BALBOA'S COACHING STAFF COACH GENE HILL . . . whose drive for increasing school spirit never ceases, has turned out many excellent teams in his years at Balboa. He is currently the athletic director, coach of the l50's basketball five, sophomore baseball nine, and holds the distinction of coaching Bal's only championship baseball team, having led the team to the title in 1936. COACH CARL MITCHEL . . . caused a mild sensation in prep ranks this year when he raised an average Balboa eleven to second place. He thereby earned for himself the title, Coach of the Year. He proved wrong the old proverb about changing horses in the middle of the stream, when he switchd from the T -for- mation to the single-wing back. He also coaches swimming. PAGE 79-lhesairs hrecord- COACH JOHN SCHIECHL . . . 'Captain Munsey was the slave driver of last fall's grid eleven. His hard working tactics of laps, laps, and more laps did the trick. He is an alumnus of Balboa and the University of Santa Clara, where he received All-American recognition, he later played pro ball with the Chicago Bears and the San Francisco Forty-Niners. COACH JOHN CLARKE . . . His record at Balboa is an accomplishment of which very few coaches can boast. His 130 track teams have swamped all opposition in the past nine years, taking the title each time. Clarke is regarded as one of the greatest high school track coaches in the country. He is also the soccer coach, gym teacher, and counsellor. COACH ORRAN QUALLS . . . has come through with two very successful teams this year. His j-V grid squad lost only one tilt all season, to wind up in second place. The varsity basketball five came through with the best record any Buc quin- tet has ever had, coming in second place with a seven-won and two-lost record. Qualls also is responsible for all the intramural games. COACH LOUIE HAAS . . . has been at Balboa only a few years, but he has proven himself to be an excellent coach. He is currently handling the reins of the Buccaneer baseball nine. In the fall you can usually find him up in the gym coach- ing the 1l0's and l2O's casaba fives. Besides his coaching duties, he finds time to teach physiology and physical education. COACH RAY SCO'l l '... has achieved an enviable record at Balboa: he has not missed a day in twenty years. He is a jack-of-all-trades in coaching. In the fall it's the sophomore grid eleven fwhich went through a rough schedule un- defeated last seasonj g in spring he can be found on the track field or out on the golflinks. PAGE SEVENTY-NINE . v 'S' v W7 Ai l l VARSITY FOOTBALL TEA i Pigskin.Seaso The Rags-to-Riches Kids from Balboa were the talk of the city in prep ranks as they rose from the cellar to the top through spirit and light alone. The Bucs started off the season lo-sing to a strong Mission eleven 19-O. Everyone said the Bucs were doomed for the cellar. Then came the surprise of the season-Coach Mitchel had switched from the T formation to the single wing back, and the Bucs came from nowhere to clump Commerce 7-0. Next came Lincoln. After being outplayed for three quarters, the Mitchelmen came back on the strong right arms of Ralph De La Torre and Don Taylor to win in the last minutes, 15-8. Then came another upset as Bal upset St. Ignatius, 19-0, sparked by Spike Cowan's 103-yard sprint. The high-riding Pirates then easily trampled over Sa- cred Heart, 22-7g Washington, 26-7, and Galileo, 25- 0 to wind up in second place. The Pirates once more smashed S.I., 19-6, in the semi-finals. Next came Poly. The Parrots were just a little too strong, once more copping the title, 22-7. The Bucs placed tive men on various All-City teams, john Cahill, Dan Peters, Chuck Martucci, Bill Lynch, and Ralph De La Torre. PAGE EIGHTY fl Success. ... Six players won Call-Bulletin footballs-Ralph De La Torre achieved this honor twice, as he shone bril- liantly in the Lincoln game and the second S.I. game, Bruno Gianoli won his pigskin in the Commerce clash, Spike Cowan's 103-yard ramble and great pass defense work gave him the ball in the S.I. tilt, johnny Cahill's pass receiving, passing, and punting were outstanding against Washingtong Dan Peters came up with some sensational catches against Sacred Heart to earn the ball, Lyle Allen turned the trick with his all-around inspiring play against Galileo. Many people deserve credit for this outstanding season. The coaches Carl Mitchel and John Schiechl kept pounding away day after day until they had the team working like a clock. The players themselves be- sides showing speed, power, and natural football abil- ity, also had plenty of determination, guts, and never- say-die spirit. Others did not receive glory but yet they had a hand in every Balboa victory, the managers deserve much credit, as does the student body, which gave the team plenty of vocal support . All in all, it was a successful season. in RAI PH Ill' I,A IURRI- IUHN I AHILI. I HARLIIE MARTIN Cl I DAN l'l2'lAERS HANK SCHOIEPPIE l1Iil'NIJ MIANUI I HILI.

BASQUES, FIELDING DAVINO, PITCHER Pirate Baseballers Reach Finals Rising from fifth place in mid-season obscurity, the Buccaneer nine came into their own in brilliant style to take second place in the finals. The men of Coach Lou Haas won six contests and dropped three in regular season play. The semi-finals found a spirited Buc nine beating favored Commerce twice in succession but the Bucs had too many bad breaks against Mission and the Bears once more took the title. The Pirates placed seven men on various all-city teams. Let's take a look at the squad as a whole. The mound staff was excellent with jim Davino hurling his way to the all-city team, ably backed up by Louie Maffei, Don Spencer, and jerry Fagan. Bob Roselli, another all-city choice, was a great backstop with a rifle arm. Sil Barnoli at first base was among the classiest in the league. Clarence Miguel saw that nothing got behind him at the Keystone sack. Lyold Back with a .440 average was a unanimous all-city choice at shortstop. Captain Dan Penaflor was invincible at the hot corner where he made all-city for the second straight year. jerry Henley and Dick Kucich were able utility men. In the outer garden Tony Basques and Ernie DeMattei both banged the ball at a clip close to .5100 to make all-city. Angelo Rossi and Roy Clary both saw plenty of action in Center Field, with Ed Hallett and Don Ricci backing them up. PAGE NINFTY-ONE Minor Sports Golf, which is becoming an increas- ingly popular sport among the preps, is going strong at Balboa. Coach Ray Scott is handling the Buc par breakers this season. As this book went to press the Pirates lost their first two contests to Lincoln and Mission. Baseballers Tony Basques andqbgik K.LigLQ1'ygCm to be able to swing a bat ofsa golf club equally well. Tony leads the team with a low of 82, Dick close behind has 855 other consistsnt performers. are Rich Hazel- wood, , Larry Kinnear, Bob Gibbons, Ron Riggs, Lee Wall- mark, Ed Hallett and Walt Krizman. TENNIS The Buccaneer tennis team made another excellent showing this past sea- son with Mr. Hill at the helm. Little Frank Sanchez was the outstanding singles star. Ron jackson and Tom Tril- ling were the number one doubles com- bination, other boys who were always good for a creditable performance were Farrell, Powell, Brush, Anderson, R. Press, S. Press and Tamberg. The Bucs could also be on top in this sport if more kids came out for it. This season was still going on while this book went to press, so final results of the season are not available. SOPH BASEBALL Balboa once again came up with an excellent sophomore baseball nine. The baby Bucs had some great talent this season, with Mr. Hill performing the coaching duties. Among the leading hit- ters on the club were Art McBride, a classy shortstop and hard hitterg Dan Hall, joe Klobucar and Art Bevilikea also had high batting averages. Lewis, Templin, Snead and Temple did the hurling. Bruce Cropper turned in a yeo- man job behind the log where he was backed up by Hank Galindo. They faced a tough schedule, playing two or three games a week and winning the majority of their contests. Minor Sports Soccer, which is slowly decreasing in- stead of increasing as a major sport, had only a fair turnout this season. Under the expert mentoring of Coach Clarke, the lluc soccer team captured three wins while dropping four contests. Ed Per- rins was captain-elect of the team. Boys who turned in good steady perform- ances all season were Onofre Gutierrez, jim Wltite, jack Chrikeno, Ken Klip- pel, john Arado, lmnlc-fir-Qu,-Lwho wiilnjureclj, Boh Moore, Boh Man' cuso arE ihahy other boys. The Buc shin-kickers have good material return- ing for next season. SOPH lfOO'l'BAI.I. The Sophomore foothall team under the coaching of Mr. Scott, assisted hy seniors Smith and Biagi, had a great season. The Goofs won seven out of eight games and really showed great promise for the varsity next season. One record they compiled which is really something to he proud of is going the whole season without an injury. Among the standouts on the cluh were lineman lirnie DeSoto, and De Nardo twins, Kutsis and Augie Romer. The hackfield chores were handled by an excellent quarterback in De Alba, with Hank Cialindo as main running threat. SWIMMINCS The Buc swimming team had no world champions on it this term, but Coach Carl Mitchell came up with a well-balanced team. The City meet at the l lieshhacker's was the hig event. Stan liennison tool: third place in the 220-yard free-style event. The relay team showed very well as they copped fourth place, heing barely nosed out of third. Those on the relay team were Ray Dc-Narclo, Norm DeNardo, Bill Kwartz and 'Iolm Cahill. All in all, the team had a fairly succesful season, and Coach Mitchell hopes to have some good material returning for next sea- son. -XX RNS I ,... . . 3 PAGE NIN IETY-THR IZ II tc ,li Q TENNIS SWIMMING BADMINTON ICE SKATING An lnfroducfion fo Girls' Sports Balboa girls are indeed fortunate in the field of sports. No other school has so wide a range in sports for girls. Of course, we have the old standbysig bad- minton, swimming, riding, softball, basketball, and bowling. But in the last year we were fortunate to have four new ones: ice skating, roller skating, golf, and tennis. For the benefit of you new girls to Balboa, the Gym teachers are to be thanked for this vast program in sports. Thank you Miss Todd, Mrs. Pardee, Miss Case, and Mrs. Otvos, and Miss Connell for the effort and time you have spent to make our three years in Balboa happy ones. The spotlight is placed on the new sports. Golf is under the supervision of Mrs. Pardee. Every Thurs- day the girls scurry into the counselors' office to sign in and wait for Mrs. Pardee to get ready, then off they go in Mrs. Pardee's car. Mr. Grady is the instructor at Harding Municipal Golf Course. A very capable and friendly man is he. After learning the fundamentals, comes the prac- PAGE NINETY-Foua tice green, and who knows maybe the girls will go around the whole eighteen holes some day. Any girl wishing to take golf see Mrs. Pardee. Roller Skating has been popular for several terms, but only this past term has a student been able to re- ceive credit. Mrs. Otvos, ably taking Miss Powell's place on the staff, is the sponsor. The girls go to Skate- land every week to participate in a few falls and bruises. Everyone who does not like Roller Skating, the G.A.A. offers Ice Skating as an alternate. Ice Skating is an ever popular sport. As the term comes to an end one is still able to find Miss Rene Case teaching a spir- ited girl how to Ice Skate. Although it is an art, a stu- dent receives many bumps and bruises while trying to obtain this art. Tennis is an ever growing sport in popularity. Ten- nis is one of the oldest sports in history. It has taken the place of archery and rowing at Balboa. Every girl should take part in at least one sport to develop her- self physically as well as socially. Besides having lots of fun you meet many, many, nice girls, who take inter- est in you and interest in sports. 1 1 1 G. A. A. BADMINTON One ofthe first sports to be signed up this year was bowling. Ah! Every Thursday after school the gals get on tlze ball down the old alley to see how much fun it is. Although it is fun to xnalte strikes, those old aches and pains are strenuous. RIDING Whoa, horsiel Come on, horsiew- Wliorll This is one of the many familiar sayings every Friday, when Mrs. Case takes the active girls for a ride. BASEBALL Batter up! Once again baseball is under the supervision of Mrs. Geneva Pardee. After school on Mondays Mrs. Pardee tries her lwest to show how to hit a homer. BASKETBALL Last, but not least, is basketball, a fa- vorite with all girls. They not only play for fun in basketball, but for that gold cup, which the winning team receives, engraved with name, date, and sponsor. l AG B NlNFTY-FIVIZ FALL BLOCK B BOARD The Honor Society Many students wonder just what the Block B so- ciety is. It is composed of those students who have participated in sports for four semesters. At the end of each semester the student receives an award. The fourth award is the Block B, which is usually received at the end of the high junior year. The Hnal award is the Block B pin. For the numerous activities Block HB may thank the sponsor, Miss Rene Case and the officers elect, Pres. MISS CASE of Girls' Sports Gloria Sola, Vice-Pres. Helen Nielson, Sec.-Treas. Sue Wilson, Pub.-Mgr. Lee Adge. The installation of the officers is traditionally held on the night of the banquet. Like the G.A.A. installa- tion it is a candlelight ceremony, and a truly impressive one. This term the Block B has accomplished much. The traditional Block B dance, sponsored by both societies, was a great success. FALL GIRLS' BLOCK B PAGE NINETY-SIX MISS POX'4'l2l.l. FAU. G.A.A.

Miss Powell and Miss Hudson left Balboa to cruise around the world on their sabbathical leave. On the morning ol their departure several students in Reg. 116 and 250 went to wish them lion Voyage. The G.A.A. this past term has accomplished much with the supervision of the ofticers elect: Pres., joyce Slcalliog Vice Pres., Evelyn Migliorig Sec., l,avei'n Sowlesg and Publicity Manager, Beverly Rapp. The most outstanding event was the contest among the most popular girl in each class tor the title ot' Football Queen.

BOARD Leading Group in Girls' Sporfs The G.A.A. is one of the biggest clubs in Balboa. More than four hundred girls partake in the sports offered by the Girl's Athletic program. This term, under the able supervision of Miss Todd, there are ten sports any girl in Balboa can take. They are: badminton, basketball, bowling, golf, ice skating, roller skating, riding, softball, swimming, tennis. One of the most successful dances of the term was the Idiot's Delight Dance put on by the G.A.A. The G.A.A. Board is the center around which all sports rotate. There are five members on the board. They are: Pres. Carol Dineen, Vice Pres. Mary Brill, Sec. Shirley Brizzi, Pub. Manager Ellen Arras, and Yell Leader Marcia Heath. This term the G.A.A. has started a new fad in Balboa, that of Sport's Nights. On March 4, 1949, the G.A.A. introduced to Balboa the first Sports Night consisting of volleyball and dancing and pingpong. A good time was had by all who attended. At the Banquet the new officers are installed and the awards and Basketball Cup are given out. All in all the G.A.A. is truly the work of many handsf, DEC.ORA'l'lNG FOR G.A.A.
