This action was taken by the Annual Staff as a group and without her knowledge or consent. Words cannot express the thanks due her for the time spent worrying and working with us.

THE STAFF MR. ALBERT PETERSON Civies Physics U. S. Histery World History lamestown College, A. B University of North Dakota, M.S Superintendent March 1946 — June 1946 Gone is the builders temple, Crumbled into the dust; Fallen those stately arches, Food for consuming rust, But the temple the teacher builded, Will last while the ages roll, For that beautiful unseen temple Is a child's immortal soul. Every teacher builds his or her life into the lives of the pupils. As each day's sunshine adds new cells to the blade of grass or the mighty oak, so the deeds, hopes, and aspirations of each teacher are destowed in some measure upon each pupil. It is the fond hope of every teacher that each pupil will develop into a mighty living temple, indestructible and incorruptible. Pupils are the clay which the master teacher molds into the immortal. As the seniors move on into new journeys it is the fond hope that occasionally they will look back and wave to those who have helped and guided them. Always in memory they will see a friendly hand waving them confidence anew, and if they will listen closely they will hear that cheering voice that will last while the ages roll, ''There they go; God bless them. Sincerely yours, ALBERT |. PETERSON As Members of the Senior Class of 1945-46 you are getting ready to become the graduates of June, 1946. If my count is right you will be the 48th class to be graduated from the Banning Union High School. Even as | write this, we who help in the administration of the school are preparing to register pupils for their classes of next year. Your places will be taken by the present juniors who in their turn will be succeeded by those who are now sophomores. Nothing could better illustrate the inexorability of the passage of time. You have had your day of brief authority and prestige. You are about to go forth into a world that will not react in quite the same way as your school world has done. This outside world will ask you for results. It will demand rather than invite. Whether you go to college or to a a eee job or into a home you will be tested and tried on the basis of DR. WILLIAM C. GUNNERSON what you can do. And because you will be graduates of a high Superintendent school much will be expected of you. We who have known you, July 1937 — March 1946 fervently hope that you will do your utmost to prove to your- selves and to the world that you are worthy of being graduates of this, your high school.

We are the first class in five years to graduate in peace. Before us is a completely new world which is now supposedly at peace. It is up to us, the young men and women of this graduation class and of graduating classes all over the world, to watch over and keep the grand and glorious peace which we have gained. y So with the knowledge we have gathered in our few years, we go forth with high hopes and earnest efforts to suceeed in our peace-filled world. oe JERRY AND BABS Co-Editors THE STAFF THROUGH Trhece THE “¥OUNGEE Sy, Pow m eat PAS § GENERATION me oEARCH OF Knowledge mellow ship Entertainment Beortsmanship Gq iginality VERE os ey The Students Learn To Live and Gain j | KNOWLE DI¢ Top rc Betty WwW Buddy Hillis, James axwell, Phyllis Smith, atta Ral in, Mauri ette Morrison, Bo Wn Celia Ornelas x Marilyn Miller Se a Tree FR E S-rLMAN year opened with the annual initiation and kid party.

The Girls Glee club started its very successful year under the direction of a new instructor, Mr. Ralph MacDonald. It provided excellent entertainment at two assemb’ies, one of which was the Christmas program. Before the Christmas vacation the girls sang for the Senior Woman's Club and the Kiwanis Club. They also entertained the Junior Woman's Club on April 27. The girls combined their harmonious voices with the mixed chorus to present the colorful operetta, Crocodile Island. bili The Students Seek To Give And Enjoy EP Pe a oe ee Al The Senior Class was not satisfied with an ordinary play, and that is why they chose | Reserve Two for Murder, for it was certainly a complete departure from any other | type ever presented. The action opened with a play-within-the-play, and while it began to unfold, the theatre was suddenly plunged into complete darkness and one of the actors was shot and killed by someone in the audience. From that point the plot ( gathered astonishing speed and took in its stride any number of weird developments —including a second murder by poison, a corpse that vanished and then made its reappearance in the rear of the darkened auditorium, and others. The mystery was finally unravelled by three detectives who came to see the performance. = RESERVE) TWO FOR MURDER Helen Smith Martha Gregory Jo Ann Combs John Randall Patrolman Schultz Doris Armstrong Mrs. Edwards Ivan Strange Bob Miller Sergeant Kennedy Sally Lynch Jerry Strobridge Mrs. White Director John Malcolm Mrs. Thurston-Allen Student Director Libby Johnston Mrs. Inglefritz Dorothy Walker Bill Ritter Eloise Inglefritz Robert Nelson Edward Hemmerling William Russell Phyllis Urton Gene Marques Sam Lee Edward Wilponen Mrs. Ruth Varney Dr. Martin Edwards Marjean Colling Barbara Chandler Jane Miller { Norman Porter, clever publicity man Penny ram, TIED, Mark, Kerry ie. a Pom TAKE MY PENNY � maid who creams of great tnings just herselt who wants a chicken ranch the career girl of the famil a resourceful boy friend harle Anne 5 E Ram Smithpeter smi thpet Irene Love hoonmaker Jim Smith ythran Palmer Thom wmar | }, a pal wit } J ir Henr ) nne indignant da r n attract mode é ( ping beauty } thern belle | olored del ry air rr i Ttormer u tor O-P BrOeM © RE TALENT PARADE Puck and Clair De Lune Gloria James Swing Quintet Ella Partin, Phyllis Smith, Helen Edgar, Marilyn Maxwell, Carolene Maxwell Jane Philip Winans The Bells of St. Mary's James Habeger Some Sunday Morning Patsy Darkens Warsaw Concerto, Second Prize Wanda Leeper Magician, Third Prize Charles Smithpeter Danny Boy Irene Love Military Tap Dance Shirlee Forsythe Theres No You Jo Ann Combs Pennsylvania Polka Barbara Urton, Ruth Gettman In Rebecca's Room, First Prize Ruth Meston Wheres That Report Card?

A kind invitation was presented to all Freshmen by the Seniors which stated that they should all be present or else. The boys dressed as girls; the girls as boys. The evening started off with a costume parade and was followed by an egg rolling contest. The other events included a ring relay race, a lemon meringue pie pushed vigorously into an unsuspecting Freshie's face, and a baby food eating contest. The new members of the faculty were obliged to sing ‘Sweet Adeline for their initiation. The evening was concluded with a dance in the study hall. ar bed cag eee ee The Students Promote Physical Fitness Through 9 OP ee We dedicate this portion of Our Annual to the Bronchos’ 1945 E.R. C.

They were much improved over past years in their interscholastic competition. The Broncho softballers batted their way through the most successful season in many years.

This organization was not as active this year as previously, but it had a great part in reaching some of the most im- portant decisions in student government of Banning High. The membership of this organization has increased steadily during the '45-'46 sports season. This is due greatly to the continual encouragement by Coach Zollars for the boys to come out for sports. We only wish that in our small school we could have more organizations as outstanding and effective as the Block 'B'' is in running our school activities.

These girls contributed immeasur- ably to the building of the grand B.U.H.S. school spirit. Three girls to whom much of the credit for Banning's success should be given are our yell leaders, Colleen Sparks, Doris Armstrong, and Francis Abercrombie. Not only did they participate in football but in all other league sports and truly helped lead Banning to a year of grand sportsmanship. —n Gromer a 7 Se, Bottom row: Mary Peterson, Ella Partin, Helen Edgar, Leah Owen, Marilyn Miller, Idabell Maynard, Rutt Meston, Amparo Ortega, Ruth Ann Thompson Middle row: Barbara McGinnis, Betty Mae Dishman, Louise Dillard, ( lia Martinez, Nancy Martin, J Monroe, Irene Quezada, Wilma Sutton, Barbara Satterfield, Ruth McGoveran Top row: Ruth Lyman, Martha Partin, Mary Miller, Phyllis Miller, Jeanne Wilson, Ruth Anne Schoor maker, Barbara Urton, Louise f eta OR een Phyllis Smith, Genevieve Corbitt, Louise Dahnke, Shirlee Forsythe, Ellingtor Betty Jane Tuttle, June Tracy, Carol Westerfield MAJORETTES AND FLAG GIRLS This year something new was added to our entertainment between halves! Led onto the field by talented Sylvia Turk, a group of girls wearing white satin outfits with tall white hats and green tassels, tossing their batons into the air, as their billowy skirts blew in the wind, presented a thrilling scene. It was even more thrilling to see the six flag twirlers enter the field tossing their white satin flags high in the air and performing many acrobatic stunts at the same time.

RACGQOUETEERS Tennis ladders were formed this year in both boys' and girls' gym classes. The competition was stronger in inter- scholastic tennis because of the addition of two more schools to our league. As a consequence every afternoon j the tennis courts overflowed with red faced boys and girls practicing harder drives and faster serves in preparation for the annual tennis tournament. Grand sportsmanship was the keynote of Banning's success.

The all American game of basketball was slighted a bit because of the poor weather, but the girls had glorious fun playing the game when the weather permitted.

Mom's antique was the pride and joy of her life. In good times, when Pa was working steady and the kids were all well, it was her pride. It was a symbol of the importance of the Lady of the House. She'd usher a neighbor friend into the parlor, seat her on the immitation leather divanport, ’ and even before she'd offer the guest a cup of tea, she'd call her attention to the small old chair. The chair stood in a corner of its own. This was to prevent the kids from crawling on it and also to keep the grown-ups from sitting on it. She'd haul it out to the center of the room and place it exactly in front of the leather bead portieres, which she thought displayed it to advantage. This chair, ' Ma'd say, is one that Abe Lincoln sat in.'' If they were alone, the visitor was properly impressed; but if Pa happened to be home, the effect was ruined. He'd snort and say, ‘Well, judgin' from the looks of the seat, he sat in it once too often. Pa didn't have the feeling for antiques. In bad times the cha ir was Ma's joy. No matter how short the money was, she was never really worried. For, as she said, if worst came to worst, they could sell the chair. Pa would snort and say, Yes, there must be about a quarter's worth of good fire wood in that chair. Mom knew better. It's plain to see,’ she'd reply tartly, that you don't know the value of nothing. Before Mom was married she worked for rich old Mrs. Eastman. In fact you might almost say that Mrs. Eastman left her the chair. because after the old lady's death, when her nephews were disposing of her things, they gave Mom the chair. Pop kicked a little after they were married, because he thought it spoiled the effect of their new mail-order furniture. But at last he consented. When the children came, they, too. were warned of the chair. Even before thev learned their pravers they were taught never, never to go near it. Once when the children were playing cops and robbers, Mike had accidentally jumped on the chair and Mom warmed his pants. Mike was married row and living in California He wrote and asked Mom and Pa to come and spend their last davs there. Mom was anxious to go to that golden lard of sunshine, and Pa was, too. The only thina that held them back was the fare. So Mom decided to sell the antique. Mom never had anv experiences with antique dealers, but she knew their sly ways. Mom wasn't going to be taken in that way. No, she'd do business with Jose, the most famous antique dealer in the whole country. They wrote a letter telling of their business. In a few weeks they received an answer saying they were sending a representative to see the chair. Pa was home the day Mr. Jenkins came, and he let him in. Mom came in from the kitchen, taking her apron off as she came through the door, for she also wanted to impress Mr. Jenkins. Mom sat down on the divanport'' and let Pa take care of the business. This was a mistake, because Pa didn't know enough to set it in front of the leather bead portieres, where it looked the best. Instead he left it in the stinkin’ corner. Mr. Jenkins gave it the barest glance. ''Where is the chair in question? he said. You're looking at it, ' said Pa. An expression of disgust spread over Mr. Jenkins' face. ''Do you mean, he gasped, that | have come fifty miles to look at that? What is it worth? asked Pa, who was begin- ning to catch on. Mr. Jenkins appeared quite angry. It is worth about one dollar and fifty cents. A slow grin of triumph started on Pa's face, and then he looked at Mom and stopped grinning. Her face was gray, and her whole body seemed suddenly shriveled, as if a lifelong friend had betrayed her. The chair represented a taste of all things she never had had — wealth, security, genteelness, and all the time it had been false. Pa turned his back to Mom and spoke to Mr. Jenkins‘in a loud voice. You ain't fooling me for an instant, ’ he said. You dealers are all alike. cm | know your ways. And just for that | won't sell you the chair. “I assure you—, ' started Mr. Jenkins icily, and stopped as Mom covered her face with her hands. Perhaps Mr. Jenkins guessed then that this was no ordinary chair. | won't sell it, repeated Pa emphatically, but what would it be worth? Would it bring, say five hundred? His old eyes were pleading. There was a long silence. Mr. Jenkins looked from Pa to Mom and around the room and back at Mom again. Then he drew himself up in fine dignity. Very well, he said slowly, since you won't let me have it anyway, | might as well tell you it is probably worth twice as much as that. He added in a low, significant tone that only Pa could hear, ''to some people. Mom straightened up, with the smile of a great lady. | must make you a cup of tea, she said. After that Pa wouldn't hear any talk of selling the chair. And when, later, Mike sent them tickets to California, they took the chair right along with them in the train. Pa took turns holding the chair, because he knew now that it was too valuable a piece ever to part with. BABS CHANDLER RAILROAD TRACKS Shining rails can be seen piercing the horizon in every part of our country. They can be seen and appreciated by anyone who cares to observe them. But of what interest are they? They have no significance, no life. A railroad track merely consists of ties under steel rails, over which trains rush blindly with never a thought of the labor or time that was required to lay them. Have you ever stood on an observation plat- form and watched the ties fade rapidly in the distance? It is similar to time, for hours and days travel quickly out of sight and never return again. | once watched a wrinkled old lady as she stood with tears in her faded eyes, and | am sure my sentiments were comparable to hers. | was think- ing that once her aged eyes twinkled and once her high laced shoes were decorative slippers that glided over a smooth ball room floor. Her once expeditious hands now moved more delib- erately. She was once held in an affectionate mother's arms, and she knew the true meaning of love and security. Now she was alone as she wavered ‘there, observing the resemblance of her swiftly moving existence. If tracks could speak, the sorrows and joys they could disclose would be unceasing. They could reveal endless accounts of horrified deaths and joyous reunions. Without the glistening bars of steel, a train would be entirely helpless, just as we would be without a soul. When | see huge locomotives, | like to think of them as trains rushing over the track of life. DOROTHY WALKER SYMPTOMS Do you have an itchy, irritated feeling? Do you feel like scratching your back or arm? Can't you keep still for a period of ten to fifteen minutes? Slowly run your hand over the irritated portion and see whether it is broken out in a red and white pimply rash. If so, my friend, | would like to tell you something. You have what is known as Poison Ivy. Please do not be unduly alarmed at this predic- tion for there are at least four ways out. The first is to simply leave it alone and in five or six weeks it will have dried up and left your system. The second is to try to scratch it off, which is very pleasing at first application, but will soon lead you to much undesirable trouble. My third suggestion is to get to your druggist or physician and get any needed medicine and advice. So if you are lucky, in this way you may be cured in four or five weeks. My fourth advice is to take a large dose of arsenic, which is a strong poison, to counteract your irritation, and it will leave you without a care in the world. This is by far the quickest remedy. But let us not worry, for this is no dread disease. You can not die with its infections unless slowly tortured to death by this itchy, irritated feeling. You can only have the pleasure of having small- pox once, but not so with poison ivy. We can have it as many times as possible with all cases becoming more severe. Penicillin and sulfa drugs are great aids to the so-called serious diseases. But for poison ivy we have a common medicine known as soap. But let us not worry; medical science will some day reach a solution, so until then let us continue on our daily itching way.
