The pioneers of old had a great use for all the rescurcefulness, ingenuity and ccurage with which they had been endowed, for theirs was inde ed a mighty task—the task of building and formulating a nation and a government out of a wilderness. The American youth of today and tomorrow have a mighty task before them as well, for America today challenges her youth to use the qualities of courage, of energy and of unselfishness in an effort and a crusade to strengthen the pillars of democracy and make world wide the foundation of American life—individual freedom With a full realization of the task I . ) facing us, we believe that this book, a jy t i record of a year of our life in a demo cracy, should be built around the words be 2 i; f of our Declaration of Independence: “— t Et Y “We hold these truths to be se’f-evi { f dent, that all men are created equal, ANC f 2€ that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that (Prursuit of Happiness among these are NI wi A Me Fees ay 7 V Heaps ia Js Ei 1S: A message to seniors—that nobody reads But that Miriam lists with the editor’s needs Ought really to be so profcund and so wise As to stimulate pleasure, amazement, sur prise.

The Student x as 8 . 2 A Council is the voice of the students—it is composed of the representatives who find means to satisfy our wants and needs. Third row—J. Hunt, D. Miller, S. Krause, A.

I remember the Tournament at San Bernardino Junior College when Banning entered six teams We were very proud of this fact because only San Bernardino, with 7 teams had more, but we were even more proud of Ralph Martin and Miriam Johnson vy. ho won the Tournament from Chaffee High Schoo! Next came the tournaments at Beverly Hills. The “A” and the “B” tournaments were on separate weekends. We especially enjoyed the “B” division tournament for we went down on the bus with San Bernardino High School debaters. Banning later entered 6 teams in the Spring Citrus Belt League tournament at San Bernardino High School and 2 of these teams got into the semi-finals. We were very excited when Howard Sartin and Bill Griswold finis! an achievement for sophomores xed in third place, quite The last tournament of the year was held at Redlands University. Miriam and Ralph beat the Southern California Debate League Champions. We were proud of Howard, who won 4th place in the dramatic declamation contest and of Billy Griswold, who made the semi-finals of cratorical declamation. We hope that the debates next year will prove as interesting and as enjoyable as they did this year Our able debate coach was Mr. Hanks a ) Sophomore Fae a Back row S. Krause, F, Lockwood, B.

The Sophomore Debate teams got off to a running start this year with a tourna ment just for the Freshmen and Sophomores of the Citrus Belt League, held at Corona Always before we have had to ccmpete against experienced upper classmen, who do their best to make us feel inferior. When the first elimination results were an nounced, we were surprised to have three teams still in the semi-finals; and even more surprised when we found two of our teams, one Freshman and one Sophomore, were still going into the quarter-finals. But we were completely over-joyed when we heard that our best Sophomore team, of Bill Griswold and Howard Sartin, had beaten Colton’s Sophomore team of Lansing and Archibald, to win the tournament and capture the cup. Their spirits high, the same Sophomore team went on to take 3rd place at the Spring C. B. L. Tournament. Since the Senior team graduates this year, it’s going to be up to the Sophomores to win the cups next year. , : , ) —National ‘Fo rensia Leaque Second row—Mr. Hanks, W. Lynch, J. McCrea, L. Lynch, B.

We did so much in the field of speech work that this year Banning was able to join the National Forensic League [am really very proud of this, for to belong to this organization, limited to only 500 schools in the entire United States, and which has for its purpose the promotion and development of forensic activities in high schools, is a great achievement. The average number of members to a chapter in California is 31. Our chapter in Banning, in its first year, has grown to a membership of 33. Four of our “bright and shining” little students have also achieved the highest of the four awards given, that of Distinction. And so, when Banning successfully nabbed the positions of 2nd and 4th places in Oratorical Declamation at the National Forensic League Tournament at Glendale in February of this year, and achieved 7th place among 14 schools in the Tournament, it was merely a further proof of our long contended fact, that you can't keep a good school down! q at Ry!

This year we visited Redlands University, but have made no other trips on our own time. We got off in the cold, gray dawn, at the ghastly hour of 8:30 in the morning, and finally got there (at Redlands, I mean). It’s a beautiful place where one can get very thoroughly lost, without a guide. We first went to Assembly in the Chapel: then we bothered several classes, made some records, and enjoyed a huge, delicious free lunch, in the Commons. During the afternoon there were swimming and tennis matches. We really made the most of our one day. Miss Thayer is our sponsor.

We had a Football Victory Dance, too (should I admit it wasn’t our victory?). In the spring all the girls set their bear traps for a man to drag to the Spinster’s Dance, and really it was a lot of fun, dating a boy. We a!so gave a Mother's Day Tea this spring and made all our mothers, and teachers, and ourselves better acquainted. We also sponsored fashion shows, beauty culture talks, musicals, plays, and, ch just everything! It’s really a grand organization.

I couldn’t get close enough to read the notice, but someone told me a school paper was being started with Anne Hill as editor I happily noticed that there was as much enthusiasm in the first meeting and others thereafter, as there had been at the bulletin board. The paper was officially named the Broncho Broadcast, and we immediately went to work to get out our Christmas issue. It appeared just before vacation with the cutest little cover! We all wanted to have a monthly edition, but due to the paper shortage that wasn’t possible. The last issue came out in May—ah, yes! Spring, and graduation! Third row , B. Gray, M ,M.

Sanchez Get I joined the Girls’ Athletic Association this year, just as any girl may, if she has earned 25 points by taking part in team or individual sports. The Girls’ Athletic Association sponsors basketball, tennis, badminton, basketball, and horseshoe tourna ments; so I had plenty of opportunities to earn points I remember so well the Initiation Party. When we initiates arrived, the party : : ) : - if ) really began. I’m sure I wasn’t recognizable to my closest friends after that thorough initiation, but the spaghetti feed afterwards was really super and made up for my injuries (were they to my pride or otherwise? Mrs. Varney is our busy sponsor. ) ¥. § ) y Sf ny t Pa ee ) le Gea) We i ioee Js In 1940 I made a varsity letter, entitling me to become a member of Banning High School’s Block “B.” (The “B” stands for Banning.) I tremblingly awaited the mysteries of the initiation the old members had promised me as they greedily rubbed their hands. It was fun, though, and I could always look forward to initiat ing some other new member. We're called rugged, here at Banning, and we like sports; that’s why our club was organized—to promote more and better sports. Each Spring, though, we break away from sports a little and give a dance—the Block “B” Formal—which is quite an annual event, being one of the two formal events of the year. Coach Spraker was our efficient sponsor. Fourth row L. Lewis, C. McIntire, O. Smith Third row—C. Arnold, Coach Spraker, B. Meglen, B. Buttles, N. Campbell, H. Sanchez, J Martinez, A. Bisbee, B.

Satterfield, G. Satterfield, B. Peters oF ome The start of the season looked good to me—we had lots of material to form a good line and a swell backfield. Passing and punting was being perfected; blocks and tackles were a constant practice, along with those long laps around the field. Boy, did we ever feel stiff after those first few nights of practice! After the riding we got from the Indians, we laid off practice for a whole week, because of the rain, and had chalk-talks instead of the usual sweat and more sweat of practice. It was a long, hard trip to Blythe, but we were feeling pretty good when we saw that tough, hard-hitting, hard-fighting team of Blythe's run briskly out on the sand covered field. After the Blythe team started calling us “Oakies” we really got hep, because we flew down that field in a flash, completed the conversion, and were set for the kick-off in nothing flat. This sudden turn of events really made us feel good, because the next thing we knew we had another touchdown. Looking over the season as a whole I can still hear that good ole “Fight, Fight Fight” song of ours ringing in my ears, I can still see the swell spirit of the team, the “fight and fire” they put out—even though the season wasn’t seen on the win ning side of the scoreboard.

We were, however, reluctant to give up our sports completely and we finally adopted a program of intra-mural sports. One of the most outstanding and interesting of these intra-mural sports was soft ball. We had four teams, one representing each class. Soon after the Softball Tour nament had started, it became evident that the major battle would be between the Each team was to play three games with their opponents, out of 3” score.

I'll admit I didn’t quite knew what to expect, and I was just a trifle apprehensive when I arrived promptly at 8:00 p. m., December 5, 1941. I soon forgot my qualms, however, in convulsions of was a riot! It seems that the “Hot Water” was what “Henry,” portrayed by Billy laughter, for the whole thing Val Stewart, was always getting into. I'll always remember the look on the face of Pat’s fiance when Henry and Judy calmly announced that Pat had false teeth due to a contagious disease—and the audi ence’s reaction when Henry to prove his point, spit out a couple of his “teeth”; how the entire cast was convulsed when Betsy Smith appeared with her pet coyote—and the way we roared when we glimpsed Grandpa Martin’s “red” flannels To say the Junior Play was a huge success would be a masterpiece of understate ment The directors, Mrs. Varney, Miss Bock, and Mrs. Grisweld must have been proud of the Class of °43 THE CASI Henry Martin Billy Val Stewart Judy Martin Marjorie Johnson Mrs. Martin Mary Quackenbush Pat Martin Dorothy McKenzie Lester Price Lowell Lewis Mr, Smith Brian Kennedy Betsy Smith Barbara Lance Spike Duncan Don Keele Grandpa Martin Rex Coalson Shirley Dorothy Scott Sue Duncan Joann Vaughan Police Officer Robert Buttles First row—G Hill, M.

The club is composed entirely of Freshmen, because they have no other dramatic outlet; all the drama has been strictly devoted in the past to upper classmen. I had sadly noticed the absence of any dramatic club this year, until the Freshmen popped up with theirs, with Mrs Griswold as their sponsor. They've really been faithful to their muse, and we're all glad to see them so.

Our second program was a Vesper Service, given at the High School auditorium on December 21. We combined with the Mixed Chorus to give this annual Christmas program From then until the evening of February 27, we spent all our time working on the Operetta. This was really a remarkable production and we all had a marvelous time rehearsing On Sunday, March 29, the week before Easter, we combined with the Mixed Chorus to give our annual Easter Cantata. This was also a Vesper Service. The combined group sang on April 5, at the Sunrise Service at Inspiration Point. For the first time in our history, the Girls’ Glee Club entered a Glee Club Con test held on April 17, at Occidental College. We didn’t win anything, but the judges gave us an excellent rating which satisfied the girls, and Mr. Lewis, too On April 24, we sang for the Public Schools Week program, held in the High School Auditorium. We recorded one of our numbers for the audience and then played it back so that they could listen to the record. We all enjoyed that We took part in a Music Festival on May 28. This was lots of fun and once again we combined with the Mixed Chorus for a program. Our last program of the year was on Sunday, June 7, when we sang for Bac calaureate As a special group this year, we had a sextet which sang for numerous meetings and social functions. The girls in the sextet were: Clarine Seymour, Jackie McCrea, Marjorie Johnson, Nancy Higbee, Midge Phillips and Anne Hill There are four of the Seniors who received four-year music pins this ye: are: Martha Leach, Jackie McCrea, Nancy Higbee and Anne Hill.

That afternoon we presented a Vesper program at the High School. February 15th we sang at the Methodist church and again at the Baptist church, February 18. February 27 was the big night, for then the combined Choruses gave “Hollywood Extra,” an operetta which was one of the highlights of the year. There were nembers of the cast and chorus. They were Anne five awards for the outstanding Hill and Nancy Higbee, tl for their outstanding character parts, and Jacqueline McCrea for chorus cooperation The Combined Glee Clubs invited the public to the Easter Cantata, “Victory Divine.” March 29. Easter Sunday morning ten of the chorus members obediently arose at the crack of dawn to sing for the Easter Sunrise Service.

Uncle Abner, portrayed by Billy Val Stewart, and Hannah Hilltop, played by Mary Seymour, cavorted through the plot, popping up, here and there, amid love scenes, and scenes “fairly dripping with drama”—marching with the foreign legion and sheik’s daughters, to send the audience into spasms of laughter.

It was one of those foreboding night and the wind whistled through the trees as if it were the voice of hate and malice. In the great house, which held many secrets, the Great One sat, writing steadily, Franz knew He knocked. The Great One pushed a button—the door slid open, and the trusted servant, Franz, stood there “I must open the bed for you, most Honorable Fuhrer Sleep is hard to get, and most needed now.” The Great One said nothing, but kept on writing en years ago tonight all the men of my family were killed in the Austrian purge,” Franz muttered to himself, “but tonight, the anniversary of that fatal night, I will have my revenge! I am old and weak, but the fool over there, writing so busily—-he trusts me! After tonight, the world will be free of a monster—and the a “i. 2 Be purpose for which I have worked and planned these bitter years will be accomplished The Great One looked up from his writing Get out, Franz,” he snapped, “I am busy.” “Yes, Herr Hitler. Heil, Hitler. Goodnight, may you sleep well!” “May you sleep well-—so well that you will never wake,” the old man muttered to himself, as he slipped from the room It was very late, and time to go to bed, the Great One thought. Still, over there in that hated England a fat Englishman would probably still be working hard. “I am tired—I will try to sleep,” he said to himself, “but sleep is hard for me these days Sometimes I dream—” Yes, the Great One's sleep was needed, and so everyone in Berchtesgaden was isleep.... All except Franz. He was working very hard, almost in a frenzy. “Let’s see. The Fuhrer will sleep fitfully, but he will fall sound asleep about 3:00. Just time enough.” He bent over a dark, round object, which he had hidden among the leaves in the summer house, at the foot of the garden. The instrument of death the time bomb, which he had purchased so carefully, and saved for this one night ‘Turn the handle to the tims he muttered, “Three o'clock that gives me time to arrange everything.’ It was still raining very hard. Sheets, bucketfuls One of. the servants had men tioned the old sewer that ran through the bottom of the garden. It was so full, and the water rushed so fast, they were afraid it might burst, old as it was. “To morrow,” Franz had said. “That will be soon enough. It will not burst now, after lasting so many years.’ “Tomorrow,” he had muttered to himself, “it will not matter Nothing will matter—all will have been blown up, and that Devil with them!” Everything was just as he had planned, all these years since the dread night ten vears ago—everything would work out, he knew. He carefully replaced the dark object and ran as quickly as he could up the slippery path to the palace. “Himmel! That sewer is full,” he thought, hearing the roar of the water He looked at his watch. 2:30—just time to make the last check so that all would be in readiness for the final blow. He wished that he dared wake the Great One, to taunt him with his doom—to remind him of his brutal deeds, and tell him that this was what he, Franz, had been planning for all these long years of obedience and apparent humility. But that would be too dangerous—something might go wrong—the Fuhrer might summon strength and call for help. Not that Franz cared for his own life—if this plan succeeded, as it must succeed, he would gladly pay with his life. But nothing must prevent the plan, now! Going past the sentries, he tiptoed into the big house. “Only a servant, trusted as Iam,” he gloated, “could go past these guards in safety. How mistaken they are in me!” Up the stairs, up, up, up—and there was the room. He knocked softly no answer. Again, louder—no answer. “Now the moment has come,” said Franz “He is asleep, the fool. When he wakes, he will have his punishment!” Hastily he tiptoed out to the summer house in the garden. There could be no slip now He bent down on his knees among the leaves. There it was, already timed to vo off at 3:00. “How lucky I am that the casing is waterproof, and the fuse operated by chemicals,” he thought “this rain would have dampened an ordinary bomb.” As he bent down a roaring as of rushing water, growing louder and more menacing, seemed to be coming toward him. “The sewer,” he cried in terror, “it has burst With a roar that drowned his cry, the water rushed over Franz, sweeping the bomb out of his hand and carrying it down the river. The paper the next morning held startling headlines.) “GREAT GERMAN DAM BLOWN UP—MANY LIVES LOST—CAUSE—UNKNOWN.” Bill Griswold. a onmeeamnaenenetneimanemmae tent ae tee anne ae an ear DTTC LETTE EEE To the Class of 1942....
