His quick humor and friendliness, as well as his expert teaching, has won for him a place in the hearts of all who know him. And so to Mr. Nicholas R.

Superintendent Today as I write this, Banning is being flooded with the brilliant sunshine of one of those incomparable mornings known so well to dwellers in this mountain pass. May the brilliance of this sunshine and the stimulation of this mountain air be symbolic of the future opening before you after your four years of secondary school. | We of this and other faculties who have worked with you hope that you have made some definite gains in these four years. We hope that you have learned to read and think accurately, that you have so disciplined your minds and bodies that you may enjoy the happiness that comes from sanity and health, that you have learned to be tolerant of others and of their views, and that you have learned enough about your country to realize in part at least your obligations as citizens in this, the greatect and the freest of the nations of the earth.

After eight long years of learning, they finally graduated in May, 1936. In September, the same year, they entered Banning Union High School. The school greeted them with much enthusiasm as is the rule toward the incoming fresh- men. The members of the original class now number only fourteen, about one-third of the class as it was in 1928, but new students have continually been added with the result that the size of the class is comparatively the same. On June 7, 1940, this class will take another great step on the road to success graduation. GEA ss b1OGNata)y NAME NICKNAME KNOWN FOR - Jack Andrew—‘Jack-Knife”—Beaumont friends and ways.

The purpose of the League is to promote friendliness and seciability among the girls, and to per- form various services for the schocl and community. A “Get Acquainted” party for the “Little Sisters” was the opening of the year’s events. Noon dances, a basketball dance, a spinster party, and a fashion show were a few of the programs sponsored by the League. At Christmas, the girls collected toys and food; they also filled and distributed baskets to the poor. To earn money, the organization promoted candy sales, doughnut sales, and sold trophy pins. In November, Mrs. Varney, Miss Bird, Betty Wyeth, and Marjorie Leach attended the Girls’ League Convention in San Bernardino, California. The officers were: Marjorie Leach, president; Wendy Millar, Vice-President: Betty Wyeth, secretary; and Jane Young, Treasurer. Mrs. Varney and Miss Bird were the advisers. _-==5POR [SS Last row—B.

The players practiced several weeks before they encountered their traditional rivals, the Beaumont Cougars. The boys put everything they had into this game, and at the end of the first half the score was, Bronchos 12. Cougars 0. However, in the second half Beaumont managed to push over two touchdowns, and the game ended in a 12-12 tie. Although Banning outplayed its opponent, bad breaks prevented a winning score. The next game was played against Coachella. Banning scored on the first play of the game, and everyone thought this was the Broncho’s day, but the heavier Arab team emerged the victor, 26-12. With the absence of two star players and unfavorable playing conditions, the Bronchos again went down in defeat at the hands of Palm Springs, 20-12. Banning lost its three remaining games. Lost to Beaumont, 24-6, to Coachella, 39-0, and a heart-breaker to Palm Springs, 7-6. a BASKETBALL 6é“ ” First row—H. Johnson, D. Williams, F. Grande Second row—M. Pike, A. Tubbs, J. Seymour, B.

The “B” team is losing only a few players and next year’s team should be a winning combination. We wish them luck.

This organization of fifteen voices has made many public appearances this year, the most important being at the Teachers’ Institute, held in Riverside. Other public appearances were made at the Baptist and Methodist churches in Banning, Episcopal church in Beaumont, the Mormon Church in San Bernardino, and the Iccal Lions Club. The chorus appeared in the annual Christmas vesper services, Baccalaureate and Commencement, also the operetta which is an annual production given by the whole music department. Although many of the members will be graduating this year, it is hoped that next season will be as successful as this one. Ke Cy ORS Be SE AG ie AN mK OS First row—G. Covington, M. Cattell, D.

Under the able directicn of Miss Eleancr Bird, the orchestra has improved more and more, and these in it have profited greatly by the experience that is offered in such a group.

The orchestra proved itself quite capable of playing popular scngs as .ell as the regular marches, novelties, and classical music. ==C [ UBS= PANG Ge Guise First tow—P: Priveite, B. Stewart, R.
