SAN ORGONIAN Published Annually by the Senior Class of Banning High School GEORGE BUNDICK Editor-in-Chief JEAN HOUSER Associate Editor EDK ATION E DHE FCLASSHOE 39 deem it only fitting and proper to honor the Builders of Banning High School not just the individuals who have made possible the construction of our beautiful school, but the Builders of character—those people who day by day, week by week, and month by month are quietly laying a foundation for the future success and happiness of each and every one of us. It is to these persons, therefore, that we do humbly and appreciatively dedicate this annual, = CONTENTS Cian ses Pea ES SALA hile CORI S EERE Reese It seems simple enough to write a message to Seniors, but when I come to think that some of you may read it now and that it may even be read by others in later years, it becomes more serious. What any of us do or say now is apt to be of unsuspected importance later on. I would not have you suppress one jot of youth’s enthusiasm and joy of life. I would have you rather keep unabated all the eagerness and verve that you now possess, but I would have you so rule and temper this eager urge that the things you say and the things you do will leave the right impression on your associates and on your own soul. Let me wish for you, therefore, along with your capacity for enjoyment and for happiness, the power to be serious, to be real, to be true, with the full realization that you are, in all that the phrase implies, leaving “footprints on the sands of time.” 5G pO} Ey @yan. ib Left to right: John W.

After successfully weathering the Kid Party, they elected George Cariker and Florence Hall presidents for the two respec- tive semesters. Mr. Fisk and Mr. Choisser were the advisors. The sccial functicns of the year were limited to a party held at the George Street Park. September 14, 1936: A somewhat depleted class of seventy-seven smiling faces swept through the halls, proud of their positions as sophomores. The outstanding event of the year was a picnic at Palm Springs. Jean Houser led the class through their second year with the help of Miss Thayer and Dr. Gunnerson. September 13, 1937: A big year for the eighty-five future lords and queens of B. U. H. S.!!! Two plays, several dances, and the sale of refreshments at the games made possible the most important social event of the season—the Junior-Senior Banquet, which was held at the Desert Inn. The presiding officers, Bob Watson and George Bundick, were ably assisted by Miss Thayer, Miss Gard, and Mr. Fisk. September 10, 1938: Fifty high and mighty Seniors put the freshmen through their paces during the first week of school, forgetting their past experiences as bashful beginners in the world of learn‘ng. Bill Herbert served as a most efficient president, and Miss Camp, Mr Oswald, and Mr. Bondoc proved equally capable as advisors. The highlights of the year were the A. A. U. W. Tea for the Senior girls, Ditch Day at Long Beach, the Junior-Senior Banquet at the Mission Inn, and Baccalaureate and Commencement Exercises held in the new high school auditorium. eT ro -—- | | | CBee 5.8) © GINA tial): Les Benton— “That’s no lie’—Known for that red sweater.

GINS Be Gee All of the girls in school are members of the Girls’ League. They made year books containing the entire program. A “Get Acquainted” Party for the Little Sisters started the year’s events. Two one-act plays, a Mothers’ Day Pageant, a Basket- ball dance, a Spinster dance and a Fashion Show were a few of the highlights of the year. At Christmas time the girls filled and distributed baskets for the poor. Noon dances, candy sales, basketball-schedu'e pencils, and trophy pins were used for earning money, In November Mrs. Varney, Miss Bird, Jo Penegal, and Jean Houser attended the Girls’ League Conventicn in Phoenix, Arizona. The officers were Jean Houser, Presi- dent; Jo Penegal, Vice-President; Ann Schunck, Secretary; and Marjorie Leach, Treasurer. Mrs. Varney and Miss Bird are the advisors.

Bisiyaahs The National High School Debate Topic: “The United States should establish an alliance with Great Britain,” was debated this year by high school students, inter- ested in world affairs, all over America. The Banning squad debated this question with teams from five other schools. Besides the experience of speaking before audiences, the debaters gained confidence, the ability to reason logically, to organize material, to think rapidly under pressure, and a great understanding of foreign affairs. The Banning affirmative team was Bob Watson and Glenn Evans; the negative team was Verna Jean Maxwell, Roland Wilkinson, and Harold Johnson. In addition to the varsity squad, a Freshman affirmative team consisting of Margaret Love and Wretha Childreth and a negative team of Anne Hill and Jaqueline McCrea were formed. These girls debated among themselves, against the varsity, and the Elsinore freshman team. Mr. Hanks displayed himself as a most able coach, an d the debaters are indebted to him for the guidance they received. The varsity teams won all the decision debates with Beaumont, but lost the affirmative to Corona.

SCHOLARSHIP The purpose of Chapter 42 of the California Scholarship Federation is to give approval and encouragement to conscientious students who have proved their ability by attainment of superior grades, and to offer certain advantages to those students, not extended to the average pupil. In this chapter the scholarship members number ten per cent of the total school enrollment. Bi-monthly meetings are held and an occasional social affair. Since it is the intention of most scholarship students to go on to college, several trips have been taken at intervals to various Southern California colleges and universities, where classes were attended and luncheon served the visitors on the campus. Griffith Observatory, the Columbia Broadcasting station, the new Palm Springs High School, Forest Lawn Mausoleum and the Mission Inn have added to the cultural improvement of the members as well as their factual knowledge. Those who remain in the Scholarship Society for six or more semesters, one of which is in the Senior Year, become life members of the C. S. FE. ART The Art Club was organized last September for the purpose of providing social and cultural contacts for the students interested in art. The officers elected were Marion Swan, President; Lauralice Kryder, Secretary; and Jean Mahurin, Treasurer. A fitting climax to the activities of this group was the trip to the Mission Inn at Riverside where art treasures from all parts of the world are to be seen. Next year the club is anticipating several excursions to art centers in Southern California, among them being Forest Lawn and the Huntington Art Galleries. Because of this organization’s popularity among art students, a larger member- ship is expected for the °39-°40 school term. First row: J, Quear M. Swan B. Leedom L.

Eligibility to this organization is gained by playing in twelve or more quarters of football or basketball or by earning a required number of points in track. For every year a varsity letter is earned, one white strip may be added to a special green letterman’s sweater following regular military procedure. Franklin Kiech, the “Butcher’s” coach since 1934, is the club director. With the increase in membership, Block B should take its rightful place among the more active clubs next fall. First row—M.

SPANISH To further their know!edge of the life and customs of Spain, as well as the language, the Spanish classes organized a club under the direction of Miss Gard. In addition to the research work, several social functions marked the highlights of the year. A play depicting the mannerisms of the Spanish people during the Yule- tide season was given before Christmas. The success of this performance prompted the organization to enter the Sophomore Hi-Jinks, and their play, “La Revolution,” won the group prize of five dollars. A fitting climax to the activities of this club was the trip to Padua Hills. After the singing and dancing program presented by the Padua players, refreshments were served in the theater’s picturesque Mexican dining room. The officers were as follows: President, Arlene Norton; Vice-President, Miriam Johnson; and Secretary-Treasurer, Bill Quear. ee ee eg Left to right: B. Bailiff J. Quear M. McDermott Miss Coulter D. Clegg FING On alternate Fridays this small group of French students met to discuss the geography and government of France as well as the customs of the people. Mis Coulter, the sponsor, showed the group pictures of famous points of interest and aided them in obtaining further information about the characteristics and the history of the republic. n The following officers were elected: Donald Clegg, president; Bert Bailiff, vice-president; and Marie McDermott, secretary-treasurer. LATIN The Latin Club, organized in September for the purpose of promoting interest in Roman civilization, proved to be very popular among Latin students. As our every-day modern life, as well as our language, resembles that of the ancient Romans in many ways, interesting facts and comparisons were presented by the members. The activities of the club during the first semester were brightened by two parties, given by Verna Jean Maxwell and Doris Buttles. Skating and swimming climaxed the year’s social events. Doris Buttles, Glenn Evans, and Charlotte Dishon served the respective offices of president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer for both semesters. Miss Coulter organized and directed the group.

Little mlLEIGSIBNES SAI For the first time in the history of Banning High School, a paper was issued regularly. Ann Schunck, with the competent help of her associate editors, Lois McCann and Verna Jean Maxwell, presented a publication every two weeks that was worthy oi the time and effort spent in its preparation. Miss Tullett and Mr. Oswald were largely responsible for the success and praise bestowed upon SECRETARIAL The Secretarial Club, composed of shorthand students, proved to be one of the most active organizations throughout the year. On October 30, a Hallowe’en party was held at the home of Mary French, and in January Miss Tullett escorted the group through the Whitewater telephone sub-station. High points in the activities during the second semester were a theater party cn February 3 and a talk by Mrs. Keith about her business college in Riverside on February 14. In May, the club hiked to the Morongo Indian Reservation to the home of Frances Hall one of the members. Vivienne Ruggles, Ethel Tarkington, and Thelma Pickeri!l were elected to the respective offices of president, vice-president, and se2retary-treasurer. First row: F. Hall M. Connolly A. Schunck M.

Johnson This year the Juniors decided to give their traditional play earlier than usual. “Aaron Slick From Punkin’ Crick,” a comedy in two acts, was chosen late in November, and tryouts began immediately. The play was so popular with the Juniors that they chose to have two complete casts. After more than a month of practice,.under the able supervision of Miss Gard, Miss Coulter, and Mr. Hanks, the two casts were ready for action. Forgotten cues were rememorized, a whirlwind sales campaign started, props were finished, and all prepared for the final presentation. The play was successfully given on the nights of January 13 and 14 in the new Banning High School Auditorium, which was open for the first time to the general public. The large attendance assured the Seniors a good banquet in the spring. V. Ruggles, N. Gumm, D. Stanfield, J. Johnston, K. James, M. Stotenburg, D. Higbee, i B. Fox, R. Henderson, J. Miller, M.

A three-act farce, “Beginner’s Luck,” was chosen by the class, and tryouts were held the following week.

MVD CRIONES The Mixed Chorus, which is composed of 36 students, appeared at many func- tions during the past year. They sang for the Teachers’ Institute in Riverside on November 21 and entertained the Woman's Club with a group of Christmas songs on December 13. On December 18, the chorus presented a cantata, “The Babe of Bethlehem.” This was the first affair given in the new high school auditorium.

PO Ore Nel After a scrimmage with Redlands High School, the Butchers officially opened the football season on October 7, at Perris. The score---26 to 6—reflected the fact that many of the boys were inexperienced in football strategy. The following Friday found Banning and the Palm Springs Indians locked in a thrilling 6-6 tie. Thus a new rivalry was born. On October 21, the Butchers were humbled by Hemet by a slight (?) margin—40 to 0. San Jacinto fell victim to a sustained aerial attack, October 28. The score was 13 to 12. The Coachella game was the setting for one of the strangest contests in the history of the Riverside County League. The Butchers were a badly whipped team at the half, but gamely fought on. In a spirited attack the green and white squad scored three tcuchdowns and was barely kept from making another. The Arabs were on the high end of a 25 to 18 score. For the first time in the gridiron history of Banning, Beaumont walked away with a 19 to 6 victory in the final game of the season. The Butchers were the second highest scoring team in the league, undoubtedly due to the passing ability of the light backfield. The open style attack and the excellent sportsmanship, which was characteristic of this team, will always be remembered by true football fans.

BYAVOIN Cah oyalele | VARSITY TEAM Despite a fast, plucky team which fought to the last gun, regard'ess of the score, the varsity squad was unable to retain its league title. Althcugh Banning placed fifth among the nine competing schools this year, the 39 season should bring another pennant to the “Butchers,” as there are four or five lettermen returning. The fact that only one member of the preceding team remained in B. H. S., un- doubtedly was largely responsible for the mediocre showing during the °38 season.

DAO E ANCL B TEAM A light, die-hard team, but for the most part inexperienced in cage strategy, were the Banning B’s. Although the final gun found the “Butchers” with only two victories out of six starts, as sportsmen they were tops. One of the outstanding upsets of the league was suffered by Perris at the hands of this agile squad. The °39 season promises to be a banner year as all of the lettermen are returning next fall.
