Nogmlh Silva Eleaiw' suse za af snanadd calbl Wilson Jo Ann Miller .lo Ella Parton Ronald .Ieha Bob Lusk M X The senior class ot i950 began its last year in high school with titty-six studentsg twenty-eight boys and twenty-eight girls. During the first two weeks of school the seniors chose their senior sweaters and emblems. The senior sweater was the usual royal blue coat sweater and the emblem designed by Durwood Steele was a panther head on the numerals SO with B. l-l. S. printed on top ot the panther head, all ot which was in blue and gold. ln February the class president met with a committee, Jill Reeves, Helen Ha- mann and Ronnie Jeha, to choose appro- priate class announcements. The senior class approved their choice, and ordered announcements and cards which arrived later in the spring. The first class activity of the seniors was to present the Spring Frolic on March 3rd. Since the dance was very well planned and well advertised it was a suc- cess, and the money raised went to the Senior Class treasury tor later use. Xi Darlene wilkerwn Lillian .larosx l' ob Mortensen Janice C00Pe' Rav Nvnes Early in January the seniors began to choose their senior play. After much dis- cussion they chose Strictly Formal, a three act comedy, Try-outs were held for a week and the following students were selected: Garland Benton, Eleanor Sargent, Doylene Price, Nina Lou Smith, Jo Ella Parton, Jill Reeves, Joyce Weaver, Velda Cathey, Carol Wilson, Sue Moore, Ronnie Jeha, Wesley Owens, Fred Benton, Durwood Steele, Jack Reeves, and Carl Redden. Lillian Jarosz and Jo Ann Miller assisted Miss Alice Crooks as prompters, and Norman Silva was stage manager. After six weeks of rehearsals five nights a week, the play was very cleverly presented on Friday, March Bl, before a full house. The funds raised by this activity, added to the money in the treasury, was used by the Senior Class on their Ditch Day, May 3, and for the Senior Banquet which took-place May 5. Under the direction of Miss Alice Crooks, five senior boys, Fred Benton, .lack R'eeves, Jim Gregory, Wesley Owens, and Gary Dunn, presented a program in Bonor of LincoIn's Birthday. Also, seven senior girls presented a program in honor of Washington's Birthday. The participants were Jo Ella Parton, Eleanor Sargent, Jill Reeves, Velda Cathey, Jo Ann Miller, Nina Lou Smith, and Wanda Kilby. This senior class, being very active in school life, had many outstanding stu- dents. Jim Gregory, a member of the Class of '50, was elected Student Body President for both spring and fall terms. Befh 'lwllaiii Bob collil195 h deff' caznson Durwood Steele Rose Ann Casey Leland Dicks Pessv Hankins Betty Ann Passalacqua X E gene vixnkel' Mickey O'Connor, also a senior, was elected Student Body Vice-President for the whole Year, Wanda Kilby did a very efficient job as Secretary-Treasurer, and there were seven seniors on the Student Council, The senior class officers were Fred Benton, president, Ronald Clark, vice- president, and Velda Cathey, secretary- treasurer. The council members for the fall term were Eleanor Sargent and Carl Redden and those who represented the seniors during the spring term were Betty Passalacqua and Robert Hamby. The sen- ior class of 1950 were ably assisted in planning their four years of high school by their class advisors, Mrs. Frieda Bark- ley and Mr. Frank Hoffman. During the school term four senior boys combined their musical talents and formed a Dixie Land Band. The members were Jim Wesson, saxophone, Richard Yaeger, trombone, Vincent Sanz, trum- pet, and Mickey O'Connor, drums. The band played at many assemblies and en- tertained for local organizations. The senior class also produced several outstanding school athletes. Q it IF ' e5l2Y ns owe la Came' catmsavm Betty Bar'0 The outstanding football player, Jim Gregory, and honorary co-captains, Jim Wesson and Gary Dunn were all members of the senior class. Eight other seniors made the Varsity squad: Fred Benton, left guard, Ronald Clarke, fullback, Dun- can Coleman, right end, Mickey O'Connor, 'right half, Wesley Owens, right tackle, Norman Silva, left tackle, and Vincent Sanz, center. On the Benicia Basketball Varsity were the following senior boys: Mickey O'Connor, Duncan Coleman, Gary Dunn, .lack Reeves, and Fred Benton. The tennis team this year included many seniors, Jack Reeves finished his third year playing first singles, and Ronnie Clarke and Fred Benton compriseda competent doubles team. Char- lotte Benson, Eleanor Sargent and Helen Hamann also were members of this year's tennis team. The girls, not being overshadowed by the success of the boys, were also very active in sports. The Class of l95O will have their name put on the G. A. L. plaque representing the greatest number of inter-class victories in girls' volley- ball, basketball, badminton, tennis and softball. Twenty-one senior girls were in G. A. L. by the end of their senior year and several of them were able to obtain the special athletic award which is given to those who have received over l6OO G. A. L. points. ' Commencement exercises were held the evening of June 7, l95O, and leaving Benicia High School, the seniors are ready to apply their acquired knowledge to the practical aspects of life ahead of them. They have completed their secondary education, leaving with Benicia High a traditional gift which they hope will be a constant reminder of the efforts and accomplishments of the Class of l95O. guilt V, ,um-sf ' D WE' Gsfhll Cav' Redden dna Tgad bef' :gmail Q' ff. ' o Klan, Dwlghi Hamm ln early September, 1949, the Class of 1951 returned to Benicia High with seventyethree students, forty-one girls and thirtyetwo boys, all having the thrill of being upper classmen. The juniors began immediately to take part in student body affairs. The yell leaders, Mary Ellen Brosch, Irene Precour, and Jean Brown, are members of the Junior Class. They did a fine job of yelling and keeping the school spirit high. Another mem- ber of the Junior Class, Don Trent, was chosen business manager of the student body. Y. Not only were the members of the Junior Class active in student body affairs, but they also took a very active part in ath- letics. Tom Sorenson, Chet Carr, Don Trent, Bill Corn, Jack Rahill and Dick Wilson were outstanding in football. Bill Smothevs, President Marleen Higginson, Secretary-Treasurer Row l, left to right: C.

Several of the girls who were active in sports belong to the G. A. L. The juniors had ordered their rings at the end of their sophomore year and anxiously awaited their arrival. They were lO K gold, and the emblem had a pink and gold background with the usual panther crest. They arrived in early November to the satisfaction of all. The juniors under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Chorley and Miss Fern Bruner started a little early to raise money for the Prom by giving an Armistice Day Dance. The stage was decorated with a huge Uncle Sam. The Junior Prom, the biggest event of the school year, was held on Friday, April Zl, in the l. D. E. S. Hall.

The first event of the year, the Freshman Reception, was sponsored by the sophomores in September after the first foot- ball game. The Sophomore Class was very interested and active in stu- dent body and extra-curricular activities.

The program and decorations were very successful, being built around a St. Valentine's theme. ln sports also the class was well represented. Eddie Pettit, Don Sloan, Bob Pearce, Richard House and Jim Earp appeared as valuable assets on the Varsity football squad. Dave Johnson, Roland Hamlin, and Harold Tennis worked on the Junior Varsity squad. ln the spring, Don Sloan and Eddie Pettit were regulars on the B basketball team, sophomore boys appeared in C and D basketball, track, tennis and, of course, Jim Earp returned as one of the eleven in baseball. The girls were very active in class-competitive sports. They put out good teams in volleyball, basketball, badminton, tennis and baseball. Quite a few sophomore girls earned the number of points necessary for joining the G. A. L. Under the able direction of Mrs. Alice Shone and Mr. George Drolette, their class advisors, the Sophomore Class finished their second year in high school, and are anxiously awaiting next year when they un officially join the seniors as upperclassmen, The Y too will enjoy the added responsibility, as well as Y 0 the new privileges, which come with their entrance Nts i k- I .

These eighty-one frosh adapted themselves very quickly to high school life and soon got into the center of activities. Early in the year they elected their class officers and also their class representatives to the student council. Lyle Hub- bard and Marilyn Trent served for the first semester. The main event in the freshman year of activities was the initiation. The sophomores presided over a kangaroo court where certain freshmen were convicted of alleged crimes. It was only for a short day, however, and later they were free to enjoy themselves at the Reception given in their honor.

S Organized around a St. Patrick's Day theme, the Freshman Return, given in March was a huge success. The freshmen were not shy when it came to sports. ln football Nelson Renslow, Robert Lawson, Lyle Hubbard, Wayne Patch, Howard Smothers, Earl Ellis, Bill Murphy and Bill Brown were effectual on the Junior Varsity. Earl Ellis held his own in A squad basketball, many others played on the B, C, and D teams. On the girls' side, many enthusiastic beginners played well in volleyball, basketball, badminton, tennis, and baseball. The Class of l953 was an allaround class, with members supplementing band and chorus, Philip Dunaway appeared as one of the members of our dance band. Freshmen also wrote for our school paper, the Prowling Panther. Later in the spring the class will give their traditional party, welcoming the future Class of i954 in the Sth grades from St. Catherine's Academy and the Benicia Grammar School. The freshmen will show the 8th graders around the school and will readily answer many questions as to classes and extra curricular activi- ties. The guests will be entertained with games played on the turf, afterwards an assembly program will be given and refreshments . will be served to all the future freshmen. The freshmen look forward eagerly to their sopho- more year, which they know will provide many activi- ties and lots of fun.

F The annual staff, under the supervision of Miss Fern Bruner, drew up an outline of the 1950 Panther in May, 1949. Return- ing to school in September, they were able to present the com- pleted outline and various layouts to the new 1950 staff. October 1 was set for the deadline for the sale of two hundred year books in advance. The staff concentrated on publicity through announcements in assembly and signs on the bulletin board, dances were held, after the football games, in the audi- torium to raise money also. After the contract was agreed upon, settling the photography, engraving, printing and publishing, the business manager got to work to raise the additional money needed. He found the mer- chants and organizations within the city exceedingly cooperative, and together with the generosity of the classes and organizations in the school, the staff completed the book. pwbmy The staff was given their assign- ments early in the second quarter to complete the write-ups by the Febru- ary l and April 1 deadlines. After months of planning and work- ing, the staff feel that they have pub- lished a fine book. Staff members, left to right: J, Dc Silva, B. Lambro, I. Precour, N. Smith, Miss Bruner, M. Precour, T.

The various department presidents were Edgar Stanfield, band, Jim Wesson, dance band, and Janice Cooper, chorus. The dance band, practicing before school in the morning, and the Dixieland Band always performed admirably, playing often for school functions such as assemblies and dances. They provided entertainment for organizations outside of school also, such as Kiwanis, the Social Circle of the Congregational Church and the Parent-Teachers' Association. The Music Department gave three concerts during the school year with the combined efforts of the band dance band, and chorus. The first concert, performed in November, as iven as a ublic preview for the ones that were to follow during Public Schools Week W Q P and the annual Spring Concert. The public was very pleased at the fine work that Mr. Hoffman and the Music Federation had done These concerts have shown what can be ac- complished by students who enjoy music and who work hard to improve themselves. Besides these concerts the band made public appearances in parades throughout the year. There was the annual Winters Youth Day Parade in which they ranked high on the list, as usual. They also participated in the Holy Ghost Parade, the Centennial Parade, and the Armistice Day Parade. These were only a few of many appearances which included com- petition, programs, and combined concerts with other bands. The majorettes, who are in- cluded with the band, won many awards during the year. TUMBLERS Left to right: G. Smith, B. Crad- dick, L. Fairbanks. FLAG TWIRLERS Left to righti M. Ward, M Humbeft, L.

C. A. L. title returned to strengthen their hold during the i949 season. Although they received a two-way tie with Vacaville, this year's Benicia High Varsity had an excellent record of seven wins to one defeat. Our varsity squad was competent and effective on the field, exemplifying the merits of teamwork and co-operation. From time to time the team suffered from the loss of injured players, who met overenthusiastic opponents, but the varsity remained strong and capable throughout the season. After the final game the team selected the player they considered the most valuable Jim Gregory. .lim Wesson and Gary Dunn were chosen as honorary co-captains for the season. Backed by several Iettermen returning next year, the Panther Varsity will strive for the l95O S. C. A. L. championship. .U. Benicia l-ligh School's Junior Varsity had a record comparable to the Varsity dura ing the l949 season. Losing only to Dixon in a season including five games, this year's junior squad proved to be very effective. During the J. V,'s season, scores were low, but action was fast and tough, David Johnson claimed the honors as high-point man, being responsible for twenty-five of the team's season total of sixty-five. A strong lineup of twenty-eight men brought added attention and importance to our Junior Varsity squad. The team worked efficiently under the lights at two night games, in addition to participation in the regularly scheduled afternoon games, These night games in Benicia brought to the public more than ever the importance and ad- vantage of having a strong light-weight team. ln the junior squad, many potential varsity men acquire the necessary skill and experience needed in a successful varsity team. Several members of this year's Junior Varsity squad are expected to supple- ment next year's varsity team. ,Seann Hnmlwl Benicia . . . 7 Franklin . O Benicia . 7 Armijo - .
