Senior Class °35 DANFERD HAINES CLASS PROPHECY It was spring in Paris and I was strolling down the Rue de la Paix. Passing the tables of the Cafe de la Paix, I saw a flash, a gleam of red; I stopped, I stared incredulous; it wasn’t, yes, it was Wilmer Bullard—as jaunty, as debonair as he was yes, twenty years ago when he graduated from high school es. Wilmer told me that if one waited long enough, everyone one knew passed the cafe and that he had been sitting there for the last twenty years to prove the statement. As he spoke, I glanced up and saw two familiar figures approaching. They were Johnnie Jensen and Walt Andrews, who were as successful gigolos as Paris could boast. They paused to speak to two attractive women, Jean Fulford, now the Countess de Blank and Melba Kelso, who, Wilmer infcrmed me, was her state’s representative of the Amalgamated Club Women of America. Just as I was about to call them, everyone dashed to the curb and I dashed too. Coming down the street was a procession feting the world famous American flyer, Speed Donaldson, who had just completed the first stratosphere flight around the world. In the car behind the aviators rode the American Ambassador, Merle Shields, and Senator Patrick Thornton, who were in Paris for the twenty-second World Disarmament Conference. When the procession had passed, I turned back to speak to the Countess, but she was getting into her limousine with her two children and their nurse and tutor, Ruth Clark and Ralph Pickett, respectively. Just then a group of people wearing American Olympic team sweaters strolled up. They were Wilfred Daie and Damon Watson, coaches of the American Men’s team, Dana Earl, women’s coach, and Margaret Getchell, team dietician. We were worrying as to who would pay the checks when Edgar Thompson, Dodo Doll manufacturer, came up, and incidentally to the rescue. We were abcut to order another when John Seymour, professional soul-saver and prohibitionist, came into view, hurrying to meet George Hopper, international scout leader. The latter, when he appeared, was acccmpanied by Robert Golden, veteran croup‘er of the Casino in Mone Carlo, and Bob Olson, bouncer in the same establishment. Someone suggested going out to the Paris Exposition grounds. Here we found Raymond Thornton and Joel Cloud operating a merry-go-round. Riding on a camel was Doris Lynn, true to her philosophy of living for the moment, and on the giraffe beside her was Georgene Hicks, physical education teacher from Banning U. H. 5. on a vacation. Sitting in a chariot arguing in a friendly fashion, were Bob Chambers, world famous architect and Dan Cho’sser, successful engineer. We walked on to the main building where Francilla Abbot, cowgirl extraordinary, was giving an exhil custo was | and Rose visite maki Crew E'ste: were who Marg told | She ; toire I hac it shi wher Ther Partr ‘ I ren fetchi Our oO CLASS PROPHECY (CONTINUED) exhibition of fancy riding. There too we saw Gaucho Joe Rios, showing the customers how to crack whips. In a small building, Stuart Elder, a traveling salesman, was trying to sell masticated chewing gum, while Gerald Crew was serving hot dogs and hamburgers. Along the main street was found a dance hall in which Barbara Rose and Martha Jane Corwin were dance hostesses. In the last building we visited, the horticultural building, prize flowers were exhibited by Joe Henderson. I had to leave because I had an appointment at the Maison Pierce, the dress- making establishment of our old friend, Clifford Pierce. There I found Gera'dine Crew, his wife, acting as his secretary, Jean Davenhill, receptionist, and Elizabeth E'sterman, mannequin. There was to be a showing, and many important buyers were present, among them, Francis Dunn and Stanley Lewis. I also saw Mae Buss, who was selecting a trousseau for her eighteen year old daughter, Carla Cruncleton. Margaret Crossley, hotcha blues singer at the Folies Bergere, and Ruth Tucker, who told me that she had heen given, as the American model housewife, a trip to Paris. She asked me if I had heard that Agnes Stiasny was an instructress at the Conserva- toire de Musique or that Jean McCallum was librarian at the Archives Nationale. I had not, but at the time, was more interested in a new spring hat; so I asked her it she could recommend a good hat shop. She sent me to the Maison Marijuin, where I found June Lockhart and Marian Crawley. Manuel Salazar was the doorman. There I saw a face which seemed familiar. I was informed that she was Edwina Partridge, the prima ballerina of the Grand Opera As I walked in the direction of the Eiffel tower, I espied Roy McCallum, who I remembered had just married his efficient secretary, Doris Johnson. A _ very fetching cop in mustache and natty uniform escorted me across the boulevard: it was our old friend Bob Gray. Truly one sees the whole world in Paris. i Nw oe) 1( CLASS WILL We, the members of the B. U. H.

When you've nothing to say just commit it to rhyme. All your readers will look at the smooth measured verse And forget that the thought is no better than worse Now with this introduction well out of the way ‘ll finish with something I do want to say All hail to the members of this senior class. The best of all products up here in the Pass. Dr. W. C. Gunnerson VWOOREAVE THO: They tried in vain to fix the leak. With a yo heave ho and the white foam flying. But oh the men they were so meek. And oh! The bleak wind sighing. The sailors looked around for land With a yo heave ho and the white foam flying. This was the last of the pirate band. And oh! The bleak wind sighing. The captain yelled no orders boid With a yo heave ho and the white foam flying. For he did not have to be told, And oh! The bleak wind sighing A man was gazing o’er the water With a yo heave ho and the white foam flying. And there in view he saw his daughter And oh! The bleak wind sighing. She watched the sinking ship go by, With a yo heave ho and the white foam flying. And for her father she did cry, And oh! The bleak wind sighing. Barbara Rose °36 THE OLD GYPSY’S EYES His black eyes were not dimmed by age They shone forth as of Yore. Flashing with pleasure or flaming with rage A hidden fire they had in store. Though his body was bent and broken His eyes were his link with life. Those sparks were the only token Of a great mind dwelling in strife. His withered skin was a dismal brown His clothes were ragged too. His black brows were bushy, his hair hung down But those eyes went piercing through. “Some handsome man should have those eyes” My companion whispered in scorn. No, for in roughness, irue beauty best lies, As here, two jewels in a bed of thorns. Agnes Stiasny BANNING HIGH The year we entered old Banning High, We gave our pledge to “do or die.” And through the years we've not giv’n in, But kept right on through thick and thin. We had to dig with all our might, To win with sport our every fight, Victories we had, and, too, lost some, But win or lose, “twas lots of fun. Think of the teachers who stood by us, And he ped us through without a fuss, We had to work and so did they, But “twas all enjoyed, both work and play. The years may come and so they'll go. But deep in our hearts we'll ever know, That through the days at Banning High We got the spirit of “do or die.” 36 Pat Thornton °36 THE SENIOR CLASS The Senior Class is marching by Beat the drums, let banners fly. Thornton passes, the people’s choice. Kelso too, oh what a voice! Abbot and Fuiford, Hicks and Lynn, In tennis sets they always win. Buss and Corwin, Crawiey and Crew, When others give up they never do. Elder, Choisser, Watson, Dale, In football games they never fail, Andrews, Builard, Dunn and Browne, Chambers, Donaldson, all the town Is out to hear the praises sound. Golden, Henderson, Hopper, Cloud, The people cheer, the bugles sing loud. Crossley, Elsterman, Partridge, Shields, In later life they'll range all fields. Getchell, Goring, Lockhart, Crew, McCallum, Tucker, and Lewis too. Olson, Pickett and Salazar. The drums are sounding again from afar. Pierce, Rios, Seymour, Earl, In all the class, best sport for a girl. Thornton, Thompson, Davenhill, Rose, At tapping she will beat all foes. Stiasny comes, a fiddler true. And Jensen, whose singing they never boo. Clark passes and Johnson, and Gray, A trio that work as fast as they play. A flourish of banners the buglers through. The seniors are passing, tried and true. Marjorie Coombs °37 MY °OLD-FORD I think that I shall never see A piece of junk like my old T It puffs, and huffs, moans and groans. It’s the darndest thing I ever owned. Rain or shine, night or day It’s sure to start by the end of May. It ran all winter and half the Spring On two rear wheels and a piston ring. It has no windshield, roof or door And I'll never again buy a Model T Ford. Bill Hutchens °37 CONSIDER IT UNDERSTOOD I’ve written a song of love for you. I've hummed it throughout the day. I've thought of some speeches to say to you. What they were—I just can't say. I’ve written a verse of poetry I called it something grand Twas all of waves on a silvery shore Of birds in a far off land. But when I try to face you, dear, I want to say something good. My tongue gets sort of twisted up Consider it understood. Drusilla Wilson ° ATHLETIC CARNIVAL An Athletic Carnival was given by Coach Kiech and his tumblers, clowns, and specialty men. The event was a fitting introduction to California Public Schools Week. SHOOTING STARS The musical revue, “Shooting Stars,” directed by Miss Rachel Weller, assisted by Miss Harvison and Miss Cromwell, was the biggest event of the year as it included about one hundred students. The music and lines were modern; the costumes were colorful, unusual, and beautiful; the dances were varied, many, and clever.

Punch and cookies were served, games and dancing followed the Kid floor show. MUSICAL TEA The freshmen girls glee club and Miss Weller entertained the students’ mothers at a beautifully appointed tea in November. Baskets of flowers, autumn leaves and baby pompom corsages, and tall candles transformed the music room into a lovely place.- A short musical program preceded the serving of tea. ANNUAL STAFF CHRISTMAS PARTY The first big social event of the winter was a dance in the Woman’s Club sponsored by the Annual Staff, Miss Cromwell and Miss Harvison. Beautifully decorated Christmas trees, holly, and evergreens were used to create a holiday spirit. Santa Claus presented gifts of great value (?) to a few “good” girls and boys. A large group of students and alumni, patronesses and patrons attended the delightful party. GIRLS’ LEAGUE LEAP YEAR DANCE 1936 means something more than a date in B. U. H. S. The girls invited their best beaux, provided transportation, tickets, flowers and music, and entertained with a semi-formal Leap Year affair in the Woman's Club. The boys declared themselves 100% in favor of such entertainment. EASTER DANCE aa The Executive Committee ushered in the spring holidays with a dancing party. Spring Showers failed to keep away the crowd, and a large group danced until midnight. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The Senior Class, Faculty members, and members of the scl } ; 1001 board were guests of the Junior Class at the annual banquet and dance which was given on May eighth in the Desert Inn. ; ’ Officers of the class and class advisors received the guests. Colorful spring flowers, hand blocked menu and place cards, and tall candles made a lovely background for the beautiful, colored frocks worn by the girls. After dinner the guests danced on the tennis court under the moonlight. ‘ FOOTBALL The Green and White had a very successful season, dropping but one game, Elsinore, by one point. Hemet and Perris were defeated by large scores while San Jacinto and Beaumont were close calls. The high light of the season was the defeat of Coachella, its first defeat on the home field.

NOTES ON BASKETBALL The varsity squad was composed of so many star players that it had a hard time “clicking” in team work. As a consequence, B. U. H. S. did not win so many games as it should have. The disccntinuance of Riverside League competition also left the teams some- what listless, and games all lacked the fire of previous years. Even the student bodies of our school and all schools visited failed to inspire the players. The B and C squads wen first places in the Hemet invitational tournament, which was very exciting as one game followed another in rapid play, but no pennant was awarded; so our boys gained a somewhat empty honor. The D squad was too inexperienced to gain recognition, but their spirit promised well for next year. First Row—Lynn, Warren. McKinney, Trotter, Gauff, Iund, Salazar, Hobbs, Clark, Higbee.
