The more the youth of this hemisphere can learn of each other's way of living and basic identity of interests, the closer will be their ties of understanding and friendship. To goa step further, the annual staff then, basing their conclusions on these observations have set up this book to depict the youth of this school. In the many years to come, many of these youth will remember this book as the background of their understanding and friendship. THE EDITOR: To Miss Mabel Thayer who has been with this school for fifteen years, we most humbly dedicate this annual. She has served with a boundless energy and faithfulness that will characterize her in our memories forever. Through her strength of character and sincerity of purpose, she has effected the lives of many of our c'assmates. We can only show our gratitude in this very small way. ANNUAL STAFF | DEDICATION MISS MABEL THAYER — — UNNERSON, p ‘A., M.A., PhD. Superin tendent Message to Seniors: THE earth has moved around the sun four times since you were freshmen. If you lived on Neptune four trips around the sun would amount to over 650 of our earth years. That would be a long time to spend on a high school course, But even four years is a long time unless you have made good use of it. As you look back over these four years and think of the changes that have come to you since you were freshmen, are you satisfied with the progress you have made? If you are satisfied, and many of you have strong reason to be gratified at your achievement, it is now in order to resolve to make the next four years at least equal to those just past. But whether you are satisfied or not, it is in order now to make up your minds that you will use the power you possess to the very best of your ability in all your future work whether that be job or school. “Let us then be up and doing, with a heart for any fate, still achieving, still pursuing, learn to labor and to wait.” Swe� of FACULT MISS ELEANOR BIRD MR.

At the end of the first week, the freshman girls were given a welcoming party at which they danced, enjoyed refreshments, and entertaining games. On October 9 the girls were entertained by a few musical numbers by members of the Girls’ League. At Christmas, several baskets were made and given to worthy families in the community. A one-act play was presented at the meeting on January 15, which was enjoyed by all. The first program in the second semester was on March 19; this affair centered around the hobbies of the teachers and girls. The Spinsters’ Dance on April 4 was a great success. The annual fashion show was on April 30. On May 7 the mothers were entertained by their daughters at the Mother’s Day Tea. The last program of the year was the inauguration of the new officers in the beautiful Cand’e Lighting Ceremony. Left to right—Mrs. Varney, M. Johnson, W. Millar, D. Buttles, A. Hill, and Miss Bird.

Tur Scholarship Club is one in which only the students with a high rating can enter. Our Scholarship is known as Chapter 42 of the California Scholarship Federation. In order to attain membership in the Scholarship Society a student must have a semester average of three “A’s” and one “B”, physical education excluded. An “A” is three points and a “B” is one point, making a total of 10 points. If a member remains on the Scholarship for six semesters or more he becomes a life member and seal bearer and is awarded a life time pin. One day a year is allotted to the Scholarship group, and the members may visit some interesting place. The Chapter plan is to go to a well known college every spring. This year the society expects to go to U. C. L. A. Earlier in the year the Scholarship Society visited the San Bernardino Newspaper establishment and was shown the mcst important sections of the newspaper. The organization is sponsored by Miss Mabel Thayer and Mr. Bondoc. Standing—W. Lynch, L, Wahl, C. McIntire, G. Carter, L. L ewis, R. Jones, R. Irvin, H. Sims, M. Keele, L. Satterfield, B. Metje, D.

THe Block “B” is made up of the boys who have made a varsity letter in football, basketball, track, or baseball. The Block “B” was fairly active this year, meeting every Tuesday to discuss any matter that was on hand. They also sponsored a few dances that were successful. The Block “B” is a club that is limited to a few. These few have shown their prowess in athletics and were awarded a letter for their efforts. They then were voted into the club by the previous members. A formal dance is planned for this spring and it should prove to be a real success. An orchestra will be hired and the dance will probably be held in the Woman’s Club. The Block “B” has never attempted anything of this kind, so a chapter will be added to the annals of the Block “B.” The club is sponsored by Coach Roland V. Spraker, who came from Occidental College this year. amc i — — Top row—T. Warren, E. Cox, D. Miller, M. Seymour, M. Hill, M. Leach, W. Millar, R. Martin, B. March, L. Satterfield. Third row—A.

JHE Dancing Club, certainly the most popular in school, was begun in the fall of 1939 by Mrs. Varney and Miss Bird. This year the members number over seventy-five. The group meets every Monday after- noon and enjoys dancing to waltz, rhumba, conga, and even the well-known jitterbug recordings. Ten cents a semester is paid by each member as dues to the organization. The dues are contributed to the fund for buying new records. The group has a very large, up-to-date selection of records of all the prominent orchestra leaders of the day. In this manner the members of our dancing club are quite familiar with the trend of modern music and dancing. Archery oe i i a A Left to right—I. Lockwood, S. Blain, C. Ortega, C. Lancaster, L.

Under the direction of Mr. Powell, the club meets every Tuesday afternoon and retires to the back of the school where an archery range has been set up. This is the first year archery has been taken seriously. In previous years there have been a few who have had an enthusiastic feeling toward archery, but not until this year has the club been very active. The Archery Club has been very successful this season, and it is hoped that this group will continue to manifest interest in a worthwhile activity. Senior Play u E4 (JHE annual Senior Play was entitled “Girl alg.

Jue “B” team this year was less fortunate than the “A” squad, winning only one league game. However, their spirit was undaunted, even against great odds. Their determinaticn to win was something to watch. With most of these boys coming back next year, our teams should be good.

C” Basketball (P ROBABLY the smallest boys in school composed the “C™ team this year. Despite their size they played fast and hard and gave the opposing team trouble. They played three league games this year, winning one and losing two. Most of these boys are Freshmen and will have three more years ahead of them. Good luck. Track Wirn a worthwhile field to practice on, the track squad had a good year. The boys took a greater interest and also took more pains in their events. The results showed in the county meet. This year’s squad proved to be one of the best in recent years. St EE i) Se e Wr a large turnout for tennis this year, Tennis t was difficult to pick a team. After a few weeks of practice the final team was selected. Most of the boys had no tennis experience prior to this year. This, how- ever, did not mar their excellent showing in the tennis matches. ue to inexperience, the baseball squad Baseball lost all their league games. With the exception of one senior, the squad was com- posed of juniors. The spirit and team play was as good as any team in the league. The main weakness of the team was in batting. We will be looking for a banner year, as most of the squad will be returning next year. eee is Top row—Mrs. Varney, W. Buchen, M. Love, A. Hill, E. Allen, B. Leedom, H. Johnson, J, Seymour, W.
