Our good wishes go with the class of °35. Rea COVER DALE: MISS CAMP, B.A. Santa Barbara State College Home Economics MR. CHOISSER, B.S., A.M. Ewing College Science MR. FISK, A.B., A.M. US. C.

I attended the New Year's game and saw Stanford’s great eleven, coached by William Weaver, Sr., smash its way to a thrilling victory over the Army. William Weaver, Jr., was the flash of the game. He scored both touchdowns for Stanford. Mrs. Weaver, formerly Miss Hazel Allen, attended the game and cheered for Stanford. February 14, 1955.

March 17, 1955. ST. PATRICK’S DAY Saw in the “Times” that the United States Treasurer, Mr. Jesse Sellers, and his wife, the former Miss Helen Huff, are returning to America after spending their honeymoon in the historic old haunts of the Emerald Isle. April 21, 1955. EASTER Attended the Easter party given by Mr. and Mrs. Fidroeff. Mrs. Fidroeff was the former Miss Vivian Carroll. Those attending were Mr. and Mrs. G. H.

Mrs. Rutherford, the former Miss Bobbie Blackburn, sang a song from the late operetta, “Almond Blossoms.” May 12, 1955. MOTHER’S DAY Dear Diary: Attended church today and received the shock of my life when Mr. and Mrs. Warren Pinney, nee Miss Edith Cruncleton, and their six offspring, filed down the aisle and occupied the pew directly in front of me. As I left the church, I literally fell into the arms of an old flame of mine, Miss Ellamote Sanders. We had dinner together and talked of old times and old acquaintances. May 30, 1955. MEMORIAL DAY As I stood at my window on the forty-second floor of the Bannolpin Hotel, I heard the roll of drums, the faint sound of martial music, and the approaching cheers of a great crowd. Dashing downstairs, I made my way through the crowd and saw Leonard Smith and Leslie Burnside mounted on great white steeds at the head of of the seventy-second infantry. Returning to my room I found a card left by Mr. W. R. Troutt, a prominent insurance man, and an old classmate. (13) September 2, 1955. LABOR DAY A.M. Attended the races at the famous Santa Anita Track. Placed a ten dollar bet on Banningites, who was a long shot, (50-1) and won $500. Bud Ervin, Jr was the jockey. P.M. Just got home from a big celebration. Attended a dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Ervin, Sr., formerly Miss Lourine Jure. A good time was had by all. I flew home with Mr. and Mrs. Adams, and was surprised to know they had three children, Thelma, Daisy, and Rubin. Mrs. Adams is the former Josephine Mayo, my old schoolmate. October 3 ta Be yore HALLOWE’EN What .a, day! Threw rotten tomatoes at Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Sanders. Mrs. Sanders is the former Miss Annette Chambers.

Ed Bailiff was the janitor who brought me my bread and water. November 11, 1955. THANKSGIVING Arrived home in good old Banning. Had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Ervin Sting, nee Miss Edna Sellers, who had purchased and remodeled the old Del Paso Hotel in the heart of town. They have two lovely children, and like the rest of us, truly have something to be thankful for. P. S. Had my car serviced at the garage of Mr. James Wakeland. He and Lee Taylor are partners in the business. December 25, 1955. CHRISTMAS DAY Received many unexpected gifts frem old friends, who, in the years gone by, I had almost forgotten. Among them was a beautiful shirt from “Morrison’s Fashion Plate,” owned and operated by Miss Georgia Morrison. I also received a present from Mrs. David Willard, nee Miss Mary Nielsen, who, at the present time, is in Europe developing a new cosmic ray. Gertrude Pyle sent a Icvely pair of pajamas. She is married to Aubrey Shideler now. I was surprised to find Marcus Pickett a street car conductor. He told me, in a chat we had while I was riding, that he is married. His wife is the former Miss Della George of the good old class of 35 January 1, 1956. ANOTHER NEW YEAR’S DAY Attended the picture show last night, and had the pleasure of seeing Miss Madeleine Smith and Mr. Robert Koger play the leading parts in “The Last Stand.” It was very good. Another year has come and gone but there lingers on a memory of old friends and pals whom I may,,never see again, and yet who will always be great to me. Mherclass Of «350. Jack Plumley. Class History ROM Palm Springs, from Cathedral City, from Cabazon, from the Banning grade school trooped an eager group of seventy green and gawky freshmen. They entered the sacred portals of Banning Union High School, leaving behind them their dolls and toys and assuming the responsibility of enlightening the world in arts, sciences, and athletics. They elected as their president, Helen Dowling, who guided them through the arid sands of their first year in high school. A class picnic was held at Hall’s Grade, and Miss Camp and Mr. Fisk have never been the same since their experiences as advisors to this lively gang of students (?). The Desert Rats were quick to learn; and at the end of the first year all of them had made their grades and returned on September 12 as Sophomores. There were seventy shiny faces on seventy little boys and girls who rose in their seats to lustily sing “Good Morning, Dear Teachers” to Miss Thayer and Mr. Cromwell. A milk of magnesia picnic was held in the canyon of that name; all were greatly benefited — | I ? S ? On September 11, 1933, the family had decreased to sixty-three Juniors, who had grown mentally as well as physically. A small cannon was imported with which to call the class meeting to order, and the year proceeded merrily, though noisily, under the directions of the presidents, Helen Diemer and Warren Pinney. A ducking party at the Banning Plunge and a delightful Pirate Dinner-Dance honoring the Senior Class, the faculty, and the school board, were the social events of the year. Advisors were Mr. and Mrs. Cromwell and Miss Harvison A depleted class of forty-four dignified Seniors swept thrcugh the halls on September 10, 1934, snubbing the green and gawky freshmen and tolerating the 1g other underclassmen. The class elected Harvey Janssen and Warren Pinney as presidents; these noble souls guided the wandering: Nomads through a barren desert of learning into the Oases of a picnic, moonlight and such, a senior play, and the first annual since the one of 1928 J.

The social events included a class party, a wiener bake, and a one act play which was presented in Palm Springs. The annual banquet honoring the senior class was held on May 17, at the Desert Inn in Palm Springs and was the social climax of the Junior Year.

ACTIVISIIES Science Department The science department, which is one of the most important in school, is under the direction of Mr. D. P. Choisser. The four science courses offered are General Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. A few explosions and some unpleasant odors have resulted from experiments by the 136 students who enrolled in the Various courses. Mathematics Department The mathematics department was introduced into The Banning High School in 1899. Although we have not had four units of math every year, we have had the full course offered to each graduate before his four years were finished. Miss Mabel Thayer, instructor, orders modern textbooks and equipment each year. Latin Department The aim of the Latin courses is to give the student a foundation that will enable him to proceed with the study of Latin here or elsewhere, to acquaint him with some of the fundamental facts about his own language that are not brought out in the regular English texts. Dr. W.C. Gunnerson presents the first and second years. Commercial Training The Commercial Department offers courses in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and other business principles. Mr. Fisk is the instructor of this department. Consumer Economics A new course introduced by Mr. Coverdale and taught by Dr. Gunnerson has proved very popular with the seniors. The text used is Business Principles Everyone Should Know, and it stresses marketing, budgeting, accounting, advertising, buying 5) e Ss: Ss) 5 y g, and selling. English Department The English Department hoasts of three teachers, Mrs. Beulah Woodruff, Dr. Gunnerson, and Miss Thelma Harvison. The courses aim to enlarge the student's capacity for living with his fellow man, to improve fundamental application of grammar and composition, and to develop an appreciation for good literature. Shop Department The Shop Department is one of the most interesting in the school; the work is divided into three main divisions: woodwork, auto mechanics, mechanical drawing. Woodwork is the most popular of the three because small objects of minimum cost can be easily made by the beginning students; several of the boys made toboggans. Mr. Kay, the instructor, is no doubt one of the important reasons for the popular:ty of this course. History Department Under the directicn of Miss Pearl Coleman the following courses have been presented: United States History, World History, and Civics and Social Problems Constitutional charts, book reports, notebook projects, and round-table discussions of courses Spanish Department The opportunity to learn Spanish is offered in the three year course of the department under the direction of Mr. Arthur Teeter. Reading of stories, newspapers, and novels, the presentation of a Spanish play, working of cross-word puzzles, compositions, and grammar practice constitute class work in Spanish. Physical Education The physical education instructors, Coach Kiech and Mrs. Woodruff, have developed sportsmanship and have improved the physical standing of the school. They strive to make powerful men of our boys and healthy women of our girls. Art Department The Art Department under Miss Daisy Cromwell assist table decorations, advertising for games, plays, dances, and d ed in making dinner € the senior play, and the school annual work. ecorating the set for Dramatics Several students have given freely of their time to prepare entertainments, mostly one act plays, for the student body assemblies, P.-T. A. meetings, and local lodge meetings. The members are Muriel Lindstrom, Vivian Carroll, Madeliene Smith, John Jensen, Leonard Smith, Edith Cruncleton, Annette Chambers, Robert Koger, Jack Plumley, and Warren Pinney. Miss Thelma Harvison is the director. Student Body Officers The Student government is under the supervision of the student body officers who are elected twice a year. Under the recently elected officers, two very notable ideas have been put into effect, the noon day dances and a class seating arrangement for the assemblies. The students of Banning High School have enjoyed an unusual number of excellent programs presented through the courtesy of Mr. Coverdale, the board, and the members of the student body and faculty.

Camp have done many things for project work this year. They helped prepare and serve student luncheons in the cafeteria every day. They planned, cooked and served dinners for the Riverside County Principals meetings, and they served tea for the Exhibition Night. They also served a benefit luncheon sponsored by the Juniors. The cafeteria work enables several of the students to pay for their own meals, and its gives excellent training in the meeting of a hungry public. A club was organized early in the year which met to knit and knit and knit. The girls produced varied and colorful articles such as sweaters, coats, scarfs, and suits. The sewing classes have made and exhibited many articles of wearing apparel. A candy counter, at which those with a sweet tooth may purchase a variety of pure candies, is open in the cafeteria each day at noon and for fifteen minutes after school. ‘he sharp mescal shoots up a giant stalk Its centuries of yearning to the sunburnt skies. LIT bRARY On Books OOKS! Yes, that’s right, or if you must be technical, I will quote Webster, using “a literary composition” as an explanation. Oh no! I do not refer to the dull school books which you see every day, and from which you study the story of the government, Milton’s Life, or some other subject. Incidentally, these books play a very important part in some people’s lives, but I am particularly referring to ficticn books, books for entertainment, for enjoyment, and enlightenment. A good book is the best companion a person could ever have. You may have friends and companions that will turn you down, but books never. When you are with your friends and companions you must be able to respect their moods; but you can find a good book to fit into any mood. You need never have fear of getting into an argument or losing a friend if the friend happens to be a book. Good books may bring you laughter, tears, sympathy, and culture. Have you ever met a person who was lucky enough to have all these characteristics and could or would share them with you? Your favorite books usually reflect your own character and line of thought. Therefore, in books you should be able to find an understanding which doesn’t exist in human beings, for no two persons are exactly alike. Books are easily obtained; they are constant companions; so when you feel discouraged, blue, or lonely, try choosing a good book for a companion, and you will find, I’m sure, that it is one of the best friends you could possibly have. Vivian Carroll. El Perrocito ee the great American desert comes another story of the loyalty of man’s best friend. El Perrocito, a small mongrel dog, was named by a Mexican boy upon first seeing him. His loyalty and devotion contributes another block in the memorial to the heroism of the dog. Robert Milnor, a young mining engineer, was making a trip to California in a wagon train when he found this small dog, evidently left to die by some party who found the water supply low while traveling along the Santa Fe Trail through the San Gorgonio portion of the desert. Milnor reached San Bernardino, provided himself with equipment, and started for the desert. El Perrocito escaped from the small boy with whom he had been left and followed the young engineer. About five miles out of town, Milnor looked back and to his surprise saw his little comrade following with his small red tongue happily curled from his mouth. Robert tried to get the waif to go home, but after severely chastising him, he smiled and decided to take him along. That evening after the yellow streamers of the sunset had turned a deep crimson, Milnor made camp. A young Eastern student knows little of the ways of the desert, and he made his bed near a pile of large boulders which were surrounded by innumerable sidewinder tracks. After the young prospector had dropped off to sleep, he was suddenly awakened by a shuffle of sand and a growl of pain from his small adventurer. Thinking he had pricked himself on a cactus, Milnor dropped off to sleep again. When he awoke the next morning, he saw his devoted friend lying in a pitiful condition across the body of a diamond-back rattler; his eyes were glazed with death, but they held the look of one, joyful in sacrificing his life for his best friend.
