Banning High School - San Gorgonian Yearbook (Banning, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 126 of the 1948 volume:

PRESENTED BY THE STUDENTS] c BANNING HIGH SCHOOL, BANNING, Cha; | OF} onc ert Whas ter The concertmaster is an indispensable man in the orchestra. First violinist and leader of the string section, he is largely responsible for success. Leonard McCulloh, concertmaster of our yearbook, has demonstrated great ability in enabling us to make the San Gorgonian a better annual. With his magic camera he has shown talents that may be likened to those of a Kreisler or a Paganini In recognition of all Leonard McCulloh has done for our school we dedicate this book to him, a master craftsman. Sa edness ee ae See een SO RE aie | Prelude Some may look upon graduation from high school as a finale. In a way it is. Perhaps commencement ceremonies may even be said to symbolize the end of a way of life. But in truth, high school is no more than a prelude to the greater drama to come. For some of us “the old hill of business” will be the opera to which high school life provides the overture. The majestic strains of a wedding march will be played for some, and for others, perhaps, martial music will provide the keynote. Whatever the theme, up to now no more than the opening passages have been composed. Only time will unveil the rest of the score. For we are all in the midst of an Unfinished Symphony. Upon us depends the course the music will take, and with us rests the decision of what the finale will be. Harmony will not prevail all the way through. There will be discords. Always it has been thus, but each of us holds it within himself to make of the concluding passages a song of joy. Some of us have reached the end of the prelude and are ready to raise the curtain on the drama itself. Others have farther to go before they reach that point. Eventually we will all finish with the preliminaries. The closing art is a good distance away, but trusting in the Greatest Maestro to guide us through the score, the end can be reached without drifting too far out of key. Let us look forward with confidence. |e rogram Music Directors . Boys’ Sports . Girls' Sports . Activities . Music . Classes . Seniors VIII. Advertising oo Or Wikies Greetings to the Student Body: To publish a school annual during these times of high costs is a hard task. We admire the courage of the present San Gorgonian staff in working harder when the task is more difficult. The San Gorgonian for the school year of 1947-1948 is a thing of beauty and should be a joy forever. All the accumulated skill of the printers, writers, artists and skilled artisans has gone into this book. Hundreds and thousands cf painstaking hours have been spent in its preparation. Everything is so well done that any one of these books could be handed down from generation to generation. Then, too, may each of your lives be like a well planned book—a thing of beauty and a joy forever. May ncne of the pages of your book of life be marred by well-meaning friends Ow _S Keyboard Comparable to the performance of a keyboard is the work of the school board, which creates and directs the policy of the school. In the same way that a keyboard is the agency that enables the piano to function properly, this group of public- spirited citizens is the guiding power behind the school’s prog: ress and growth. The members of the school board are men and women who give freely of their time in order that Banning Union High School will be better able to serve both the stu- dents and the public.

The Varsity Squad was-composed of a total of thirty-three players. The team was weakened from. time to ‘time during the season by injuries and a few fellows moving, but the losses were quickly replaced from our able reserves. Although our team didn’t come out first in the league, we made a good showing all through the season and had a team of which any school could well be proud, The prospects for next year’s team are very good. The losses because of graduation will affect both line and backfield, but because of experienced lettermen and a well developed freshman squad, which will return next year, the outlook is rosy. osha elf The Freshman Squad, which was organized last year, has been enlarged to include many first year men and smaller fellows as well as freshmen. Under the able coaching of Vic Jensen, it has received special attention in the fundamentals of foctball, which will be very valuable next year when most of the players will be on Varsity. Although the squad didn’t win very many games, the members gained valuable experience. The team showed plenty of speed, good passing, and excellent end runs. These football players were a pride to our school as a result of their courage, co-operation, and good sportsmanship.

The next game found Banning playing the Palm Springs Indians at Palm Springs. The game was hard fought, but we came out on top with another score of 6-0. The Bronchos next defeated the Redlands Reserves © ‘ 13-0, on our home field. We met cur traditional rival, Beaumont, on their field. - The game was nip and tuck and when the final gun sounded the score stood at 6-6. “ @i Our next victory was over the San Bernardino Reserves by a score of 26-7. Then | we lost to a strong Hemet team, 26-6. Perris defeated us 19-0. The last game of the season was held on our own field, and a strong Coachella eleven trounced Banning 26-0; but the game was much closer than the score indicates. for the Bronchos actually made more first downs than the Arabs.

One of these defeats came at the hands of Elsinore, for the Elsinore Tigers defeated the Bronchos in the closest game of the year, 31-30. Out of ten members of the varsity team, only four are graduating, which indicates that next year’s varsity quintet should be better than this year’s. With many of this season’s “B’s” coming up to join the varsity, the team should be strong. 0S” basketball (Above) The “B” Cagers of Banning Union High School had a very successful season ending up with a .500 record. Many of their games were nip and tuck, the winner not being known until the final whistle. Most of the players of the “B” squad were underclassmen; there was only one senior on the starting line-up. With the experience gained this season, next year’s team should be even better. C BASKETBALL Jim Belcher, Jae Emenhiser, Ronald Whitt, Harry Jones, Bill Goss, Santos Ornelas, Frank Olvera (Cae): Basketball The midget cagers of Banning High this year had a regular schedule just like their big brothers, the “A’s” and “B’s.” Playing such teams as Beaumont, Coachella, and Palm Springs, much experience was gained by the members of these two groups. In the Hemet Invitational Basketball Tournament Max Mil- ton impressed the spectators so much by his brilliant playing that he was chosen for the All County Team and was given a plaque. With all the experience gained this season, the Varsity and “B” teams should be strengthened considerably by the addition of these small but game players. D BASKETBALL Junior Button, Don Maddern, Eddie Rosenbusch, L. D. But- ler, Charles Smith, Max Milton, Coach Gunther 4 Though there was not much enthusiasm for baseball last year, this sport seemed to have gone over with a bang this season. In the different physical education classes and after school one saw baseballs flying through the air with red-faced boys racing to get under them. With the experience gained by playing against San Jacinto, Beaumont, Coachella, and Palm Springs the boys showed greater improvement after each game. One example of this was that we lost to Beaumont in the first game, but in the second game we defeated them by a 16-3 count. Because of the quality of the players and their constant practice Banning showed good teamwork on the field. here’s Vlo Place Like Home” ay red ennis « Stars (right) Gerald Hardin i] Ronald Obst Norbert Ornelas James Blain 4 Carlos Langston John Winters First Row: Kenneth Van Doren, L.

Ox ec ane (ene Most of last year’s champion team, which broke six county records and took third in the County Track Meet, returned this year. With this array of stars and many new fellows we made a good showing at every track meet. The “A” team, supported by returning “B” lettermen, was especially good this year. In the County Track Meet Johnny Murray set a new Varsity Pole ” Vault record at 11’ 8”. Our relay teams were very good as usual, and we were stronger in field events this year We will lose quite a few of our track men this year, but there are plenty of fellows to take their place; so it looks as if we'll have another good team next year.

Play Day was “Full o’ Fun and Fancy Free.” “Playmates” were made from Redlands, Beaumont, and San Jacinto, so perhaps “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” is a fitting description of the jolly time en- joyed by all.

Fight! i‘ Girls’ sports teams this year were divided into two groups, the Greens and Whites, both pushing for the same school, both providing keen competition for the other for the betterment of the schcol as a whole. In addition to enjoying sports, as usual, the girls eagerly put forth all their undying effort to win the contest for their side. After a rcllicking year cf competition and gained experiences, the White team finally won over the Green team with a just victory. Activities Wlock ds The Block B is made up of athletes who have an A, B, or C letter in a sport approved by the organization. This year the members of the Block B met and elected the following officers to lead them throughout the year. President, Ronald Obst ; Vice-President, Clarence Stanfield; Secretary, Nor- bert Ornelas; Treasurer, Lavaga Scott; Sgt. at Arms, Jack Buchanan. The Block B this year took charge of order- ing lettermen sweaters. Many boys ordered sweaters through the organization, saving them- selves the trip out of town.

That is why they were chosen to be- come members of the club. They have been , given opportunities to better their abilities by competing with other schools and have made the best of these opportunities. What frolick- ing fun was had at the trip to Arrowhead in the snow! Certainly the girls will cherish the @ memories of the fun they had as members of the Girls’ Varsity.

A. games” is just another term meaning “fun for all.” Can we forget G. A. A. initiation? As Miss Wuliger says, “Who are we fooling?” Looking forward to this event is an annual affair.

Bah!” He Sieicas a the hymn books, then pulled some of the gum wrappers from the box that held them on the back of the pew. He sig i ed, put the tinsel in his pocket and opened the sliding doors connecting the classroom with the main auditorium of the church. As the congregation drifted in, he settled himself as well as possible on the hard bench reserved for the deacons and lost himself in thought. “Mr. Woods, the minister claims God puts the words right in his mouth. Lots of preachers claim that, Mr. Woods. If God does, why does he put different doctrines in their mouths?” He remembered the tremor of exasperation he felt in his lips as he tried to answer. That question came from the slight, dark-haired boy who always sat near the window. Upon first observance one would take him to be indifferent and sar- castic. The youngster apparently paid no attention to the rest of the class. From his post he moodily watched the Sunday traffic idling through the little town. But if he, the teacher, should make any unusual assertions, the lad was quick to ques- tion him in a way that set the boys to laughing brashly and the girls to giggling and buzzing among themselves. More than once, Mr. Woods had been tempted to reprimand him—to tell him that this was a house of worship, that God would resent his impertinence, that he was here to learn and not to try to confuse the teacher in a sacrilegious way; but something in the boy’s eyes always stopped him. They were challenging eyes—dark and restless. When their possessor was triumphing, they glowed—not happily but hungrily. They seemed insatiable. The congregation rose for the Doxology. “Praise God from whom all ble a ags flow,” he sang. “Mr. Woods, will babies go to heaven? The Bible says we shall recognize each other up there. Will a one-legged man have only one leg? Will we float?” An utterly disgusting tirade! He had patiently tried “we know in that “we see darkly,’ had little He was washed up as a Sunday School teacher!

To his knowledge they cared little about the sac- rifices and heartaches of the Biblical characters of old. It was another story, another myth with a different twist to it, in their minds. How could they, the spoiled children of prosperous parents, appreciate the struggle for truth, advancement, and freedom in spiritual discernment? to answer that through a glass part,” but his words as though effect. giggling The minister concluded his morning prayer. As the con Short Story Contest Winners gregation resumed their seats, the pulpit Bible was opened. “Mr. Woods, why did God make people like they are and then constantly try to change them? Every race and creed in the world believes its religion is right, and that it is the only one; how can ycu be sure? How can you make yourself love someone who hates you? How can you keep from being jealous? Who knows what is right and what is wrong? Why should you ever be sorry?” Mr. Woods rubbed his coatsleeve against his forehead. sa calm rise and fall of the minister’s voice cut Hele his thoughts, “Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt tind it after many days. Mr. Woods rose quietly to open a window. The room was becoming almost unbearable. He grasped the sill. There was his baby daughter playing near the highway. During the con- fusion of intermission she must have slipped out of Junior Church. He broke out in a cold sweat. His baby had noticed a kitten across the roadway. She was laughing. She was run- ning into the street! Woods screamed at her to come back, but an approaching diesel truck drowned his voice. His eyes dimmed; he could only see a small, lithe shadow running to- ward his child. It threw her out of the way. There was a of brakes and a dull sickening thud. Woods turned from the window. The pastor and all the congregation were gaping at him, but he did not notice. He only saw those dark, restless, searching eyes. by ELIZABETH GR OMER THE MEADOWLARK The sprightly meadowlark sang his happy-go-lucky notes Sige perched on a budding branch of a poplar tree.

Could you tell me, through your eyes, just what they are?” “Everyone you ask will give you a-different interpretation of colors, Tim, but I like to think of them as God's illustration of the human heart. “Perhaps you’d best understand black, for it is the color of night and symbolizes evil, emptiness, frustration; yet the beauty of a certain tranquility can be found only in the very depths of darkness. “Add a little more body, a touch of warmth, and you'll find brown, Tim. Brown is drab, yet has a definite distinction by which it illustrates character and sincerity. God has colored the soil a promising brown. “The sky is a beautiful blue, so I often think blue expresses an endless, carefree joy—an unexplainable ecstasy. On the other hand, it seems to indicate things which are so difficult to understand, such as love, life, death, eternity. “No other color is able to compete with green when it comes to lively freshness. You may be certain that whenever Spring comes again, she'll be dressed in green. That’s why I think of green as unfaded enthusiasm, always dependable. “Although nature’s most abundant colors are green and brown, a dash of spice is added here and there. This color has bright qualities suggesting zeal or zest. We call it red. “Some folks say that yellow stands for cowardice and shy- ness. In it I see a glowing ardor. “White possesses an absolute goodness which is c pure.

Even a person who is able to see these colors at his fingertips has difficulty in explaining them to himself in words, yet he can understand them because he can see them.” “Thank you,” said Tim with a tearful note in his voice. “Tm ready now.” Rory called the doctor and Tim’s mother into the room. Not a word was spoken as the bandages were slowly and carefully unwound. In the tense anxiety the meadowlark’s song floated in through the window. “Mother,” gasped Tim, “I can’t see you—or the meadow- lark—but, Rory, I can see the colors—I can see the colors you told me about!” Rory put her hand on Tim’s shoulder, and a mutual friend- ship surged between them. “Rory,” said the doctor when the two were alone, are the best nurse we have blind.” oe even though you've always been by BETTY MAE SMITHPETER DOLLAR LAKE Have you ever been in the forest in the middle of sum- mer? The wind whistles softly through the trees, and the cool green grass makes a luxurious cushion for rest. The brook, that leads to the small lake, is fed by the melting snow that never disappears from the mountain’s shady spots. The water is clear as a perfect diamond and as cold as ice. The sun beams out of a deep blue sky to send its drowsy warmth down to you. On the other side of the lake a deer comes down to drink. Her small fawn follows close at her heels. You look down into the lake, and you can see beautiful colored trout that look like miniature rainbows swimming lazily in the cool depths. If you wish, you can go to the top of the peak. There you can see the valley laid out below like some great map. The towns are small checkerboards of green and brown, separated by black strips. Far over a range of hills is a large lake that glistens like sapphire in its green setting of pine trees. Then you see where the hills change from forests to vividly-colored deserts that are a mixture of red and orange hills and valleys. In the opposite direction are the fertile fields, dotted by cities that from these heights lock so small. Then you look across the wide gap in the range and see another towering mountain rising straight from the floor of the valley to its snowy summit. You must return to your camp by the small lake now, for it is getting late in the afternoon. When you get there, you have a delicious dinner of fresh lake trout, which, even though you are a poor cook, tastes as if it were fit food for a king. The darkness comes quickly, and a hush settles over the forest. The stars are twinkling in the sky; it seems as if you could reach up and pick a handful out of the heavens. The campfires burn brightly, shedding flickering light out into the woods to make the shadows dance weirdly around the pines. Somewhere a lonely coyote howls to the moon. The campfire has died down to a heap of glowing embers. You find yourself lulled to sleep by the soothing sound of the crickets. by MERVE ALVORD Stites Silage 2% RARER eres ee PRS4 STAR pe Scnts? ov See San = PS Fo ‘ (with anybody but the faculty) DEE ESE den Dic PAR See a bra L2SRSSs Te OG ON ea ak PIR U LEONE Oni agree NT reas hos y ie ns mee DNS IO A ted Wich RETIRE A WAR LM DDN NS NES ESERIES ERDAS ND SLOT SRSA HTT EASA THLE E NAGI Rey | SER GRAS IIO.Y AEM RIEL II AEE RRR AE kL SES NY RA OER SUIS GOLEM ore ft ROMY NOOO (aR Know W hat you're doing?

Who would ever have guessed that some of our manly star athletes had such beautiful voices? There are many girls whose talents in singing are outstand- ing, but who might have never been heard had it not been for the Mixed Chorus. The fellows and girls in the group must surely be proud of the many accomplishments made by their organization.

The Band is, indeed, worthy of our praise. Through many difficulties our band has passed and won with proven results of its ability. Working on many novelty numbers, the band has had a chance to show the worth of each musical section, and these unusual melodies have brought enjoyment to all. Ambition has pushed the band on to make an important step toward getting uniforms, and in years to come we hope to see our band stepping right along in competition with others in this county.

By participating in many colorful school programs and radio programs, and by performing for various social clubs, the group has been able to display its constantly improving qualities. ee. oe the ight Before Gi tmas ‘ © The Christmas program, directed by Miss Jane Lambert, was outstanding in promoting a joyful atmosphere. The per- formance was given in two distinct. parts to show contrast and to add a touch of Christmas gaiety. First, in formal arrange- ment, the Christmas sprites lighted the tree; the Band, Mixed Chorus, and Girls’ Chorus performed professionally; the Quartette, Triple Trio and Trio sang beautifully to portray the holy feeling of the seascn; and Mary Jo Moore dramatic ally recited “Twas the Night Before Christmas.” second part of the program was presented as an outdoor Christmas party. Caroling and instrumental numbers were given. Donna Chandler and Gloria James were the two lovely accompanists- In making the program a tremendous success the cheerful outdoor stage decorations, Christmas costuming and audience par ticipation played an important role ‘Cotton Sslossoms ”’, a musical minstrel “Way Down Upon the Swanee River—dum-de-de-dum.” The strains of Southern melodies wafted gently on the evening breeze that memorable night of March 12, 1948. The cotton fields of the old plantation had come to Banning High in the form of “Cotton “Blossoms,” a musical minstrel presented by the music depar tments. The Girls’ Glee Club, the Mixed Chorus, and the Band, all with blackened faces, presented many familiar songs of the old South. There were also many special num bers and dances. j The auditorium was filled to capacity with a “standing room only” crowd. The entire production was broadcast over KPAS. .

Eagerly the audience of seniors, juniors, sophomores and teachers applauded as the freshmen crept across the stage to display their costumes, had their faces pushed in pies, boxed with their fellow sufferers blind- folded, raced to see who could gurgle milk fastest, and faced general humiliation bravely. However, such endurance does not go unre- warded. Wanda Beavers and Travis Wright were given prizes for their clever costumes, and all those “tortured” were extremely grate- ful when the seniors called it “quits.” In the study hall all griev- ances were forgotten as the records spun their web of enchantment while the students danced.

They have shown character qualities which are greatly admired and cherished by others. But, most of all, they have shown outstanding school spirit for Banning High, their Home of Knowl- edge. The Freskman-Sophomore Party, given by the sophcmores for the freshmen, was the important fun ; fest of the year with games, refreshments, dancing, and entertainment for both classes. This annual party, given as a welcoming for the newcomers, the freshmen, was attended by many, enjoyed by all, and a great success.

First prize was awarded to Gloria James for her classica solos, second to Douglas Murray for his clever impersonation of Al Jolsc third to Joyce Miner for her beautiful ballet dance. Mrs. Mildred Cutles � Thelma Wood, and Mr. Herbert Gunther were the judges. The program consisted of six vocalists, four pianists, several tap, ballet and Spanish dancers, three impersonators, Ronnie Tobin’s Band, an electric Hawaiian guitar player and a two-act play which topped the evening with a bit of humor. Junior Class The Junior Class has swept through three years of high school as smoothly as the strains of a dreamy waltz. Not quite old enough to be sophisticated like the Seniors and not quite young enough to be silly like the underclassmen, the Juniors were all keyed up for good times and accomplishments.

The cast included Clarence Stanfield, Letty Etta Burk, Marilyn Miller Beverly Fessenden, Eldred Rutherford, Barbara Lee Horn, Dick Williams, Shirlee Forsyth, and Irene Quezada. With cnly a few “rests” the Junior Class has really been ‘Rollin’ Along.” 4 Highlighting the stage of events were the Prem, which was held at the Mission Inn, and the class dances, which were very successful. Class spirit was strong, this enthusiasm being demenstrated at the class meetings. Mr. Rekow aided us greatly, for without his support our class cculd not have been so allegretto.
