They have taught us to cooperate with others and to be civic-minded. They have taught us to think and reason. and to take a place in world affairs. Though these things have been taught to students of the past, they now take on a new and deeper meaning, for we are starting out in an upset and dark- ened world. We shall live up to these ideals, because' we know our old friends and teachers have prepared us well. Qur faculty shall be proud of us. This we promise.

Ambition: Be a Big Shot Activities: Football 4 A 0 During the summer of 95- While I was staying in New York, I decid- ed that of all places I must be' sure to see Coney Island. I picked a nice warm day and set out on my travels. As I sat waiting for the ferry to Coney, whom should I find also wait- ing but lose Gutierrez, the leader of the last revolution in Mexico, fleeing to Europe via Coney Island. During the chat that followed we naturally brought up the subject of mutual friends and he asked me if I had heard anything of Burdick 5 Co. Upon my inquiries I learned that Ed Burdick and his 5 Co., Andrea Escamilla, were the famous manufacturers of Stikless Cvlue. lust then the ferry arrived and we were off. While strolling around the deck, the Sound of music drew me. I found Bob Vath and his hand organ entertaining interested spectators. I smiled. gave a penny to his monkey, and walked on. Soon the ferry docked and I eagerly ventured forth. The first thing that hit my eyes was Clyde Arnold yelling, Step this way, folks! See the big show, etc. Standing on the platform behind him were Frances Magin, the fat lady, and Frances Dale, the headless won- der woman. As they were busy, I did not stop to talk but continued on through the crowd. 'lPapa, buy me this, yelled a familiar voice and turning I saw a small boy who was the image of Bill Lakins. I asked the boy where' his father was and following the sight along his finger I beheld Bill and his seven other children strolling along. Deeming it best to leave I merely waved at Bill and hurried on. It was then that I noticed on a bill board that Alice Eyraud, Bessie Ol- meda and Consuelo Rodriguez, the famous hula dancers, were appearing that evening in their new show, l'lVIy Mamma Told Me There'd Be Guys Like You! l'Buy a balloon, lady? And who should it be but Norma I-Iunt. I was glad to se'e her, and we talked for awhile. She told me to be sure and go to Ioe's Place for my lunch. She said Ioe Lockard was really a grand cook. She also said not to miss Virginia Armendariz' trained flea show and as the next performance was about to start I said good-bye to Norma. After I saw the flea show I felt the need of some sea air so I ventured down to the shore. Seeing the crowd of men around the life guard stand, I decided. to investigate this unusual change of sex in life guard admirers and I found Marie Balderas, the life guard, flexing her muscles. The sea air awakened my appetite and I headed for the nearest res- taurant. It was called Manuel's We Fix It You Eat It House. As I entered, Manuel Barboza shook my hand and said to hurry in as Mary Car- rol's next porformance was about to start. The waiter. Hector Arevalo. showed me to a table as the lights were dimmed and Mary, the bubble dar1Cef. slinked out. I notice'd with alarm that Charles Kral, seated next to me, was taking a sling shot from his pocket and rather than witness what was to follow I left. Who knows? Maybe he was going to shoot the waiter. I got my coat from Mary Lou Dale and she took the lock and chain off after I paid her a dollar. Theres a business for youl I bumped into Arthur E. Dau as I left. He's the famous hair dresser. you know. He told me that I must be sure to visit the Bronx zoo. Marta Luken, the gold fish keeper, and Armida Medina, the monkey trainer, have made a grand success of the business with the able assistance of Ralph Sa- maha, the lion feeder. As Arthur and I stood there talking I heard a noise. I turned and be- held Albert Olsen, the famous admiral who took Tokyo single handed in the last World War. Albert was so covered with medals that his assistant. Charlies Williams, had all he could do to hold him up. It was from Albert that I heard about Otilia Pina. She had become a sergeant in the WOOFS, and she became so attached to a poodle that she had stayed in after the war rather than leave him. After my comrades had gone, I sat down on a curb outside a book store to catch my breath. As I looked at the window, I noticed a sign, How to Raise Your Canary In 300 Easy Lessons, by Peggy Lopez. I bought a copy from the attendant Margaret Salazar as soon as I could get her attention away from the radio serial, Will Martha Ciet Her Man? played by Martha Roberts. I decided that it was time to go back to my hotel and spend a restful afternoon with my new book. As I walked toward the ferry, I saw a sign announcing the appearance of my old friend, Vickie Staggs, the lady wrestler. in the championship match that evening. She and her manager, Mary Thompson, had spent the winter in training for the difficult match. Much as I would like to have seen the fight, I had already planned to attend a lecture that evening by Doctor Pat Ray on Is Your Hair Na- turally Curly? It was getting late and my ferry was leaving, so I said adieu to fair old Coney and made a dash for my boat O We. the class of 19441, hoping our school days are at an end, be- ing of below average minds, and above average bodies, and being under the influence of the happiness of imagining our school days are over, do hereby de'clare this to be our last will and testament. We leave the faculty in deep sorrow. for they know that the School will never be the same without our charming and dynamic personalities around: To the Iuniors we leave the hope of being able to attempt to ful- fill our shoes: To the Sophomores we leave the deep impression of how dig- nified Seniors should not act: To the Freshmen we leave the pleasure of knowing us, the lucky little children.

Their interest in school activities is partly due to the excellent guid- ance of their advisors, Mr. John Moore and Miss Lee Irvin. The Junior Valentine Dance was one of the highlights on the school Calendar this year. One of our Juniors, Henry Legaspi, was chairman of a temporary committee organized for the purpose of encouraging the beginning of a Calexico Youth Center. Under' his leadership, and with the cooperation of various school authorities, sev- GIRLS eral community groups were contracted in an effort to find the best means of Or- ganizing such 'a center. Many investigations, chieily by members or the Junior Class, have been made, and it is hoped that next year we will have a full-fledged Youth Center in Calexico. The Junior Class Play, He Borrowed a Wife , was a very successful enterprise from the standpoints of both student interest and class participation. In leaving C. U. H. S., the Seniors can be assured that these Juniors will uphold the tradition of all active Seniors. ojorque Mrrgr Burthett Feb1 Lent Josephine xabral Delia 1 tellrvros Ann Duly Mordecai D15 Je Ann Rlcr Fva Fastfrling Gloria Uetring Marg, It Gordon Ada Beth Gofi Juanita Gomez Mar y Jones Funlce hubler Mar y Lochar d Betty Lopez Melida Lucero Bertha Lumbr eraz Fmma Mandi apa Charlene 'VIor eno Ar mida Niyers Mary Jane Olsen Flor ence Pereyra V1 ginia Poulter Robt 1 t 1 Rubidoux Louise Tor r ez Aur eli 1 D rena Paula Vaea Sotor ro VVor thy Glori r ,. l . .,.,.a, 8 Nj., Q k'2'xt -,A r', , L 2 , ' l ' , A -' . 1 V.

It was whispered around school that this play was the real cause of our victory over El Centro on Thanksgiving Day. Not meaning to injure Coach Bogle's pride, but he almost admitted that those football plays tcopied from our playl was the turning point of the game. An older brother is the victim of this hilarious play. A younger brother, who always has a case of puppy love, and two younger sisters, one who is always writ- ing limericks, and the other one who is the neighborhoods star football player, makes life one continued round of worries. It seems he was father, mother, big brother, housekeeper, and wage-earner all rolled into one, until one day a charming young silk hosiery sales lady decides to take over the job as housekeeper. Life was grand indeed for older brother until a certain snobbish Bubble-gum Heiress decides to run his life to suit herself. With this plot in mind it can be seen why this play was a continuous series of laughs. In the end the Bubble-gum Heiress was duly disposed of and the charm- ing, young sales lady furnished the love interest of the play. The cast and all who helped to make this play a success deserve our praise.

The Puppies, probably the best Bec string that Calexico Union High School has ever had, did not meet any com- petition in the season. The lineup fox the Bee string was as follows: Henry Legaspi, Leslie Dowe, Louis Moreno, Jimmy Roberts, and Jimmy Geering. Due to the loss of Albert Ramirez. forward, in the A string, Louis Moreno had to transfer to the A string at the time of the Brawley game, and incidently he was the high point man in the A string in this game. In the Bee string all the players will be back but one who plans to join the United States Navy in June, Henry Legaspi. Henry has been on the starting lineup in every game of the league and has proven to be one of the most dependable boys of the team. We're hoping, however, that Henry decides to finish high school be- fore he joins the Navy.
