STEVENSON To the Class of '39: Each year as the skein of time unwinds and we approach the day when the graduating class completes its work, it becomes my pleasant duty to give a word in parting. This is not always a very easy thing to do because often words fail to give evidence to full and actual feeling on an occasion such as this. However, it does mean the ending and the beginning, and calls for both thought and advice-thought of the years that have passed and what they have covered-the pleasant memories, the golden hours, the splendid opportunities, and the everlasting friendships. Each of you takes away in proportion to your efforts and your parti- cipation in the worthwhile things in your school life. Your officers, your teachers, and your superintendent have endeavored to afford you the best. Your school-your Alma Mater-has served you. For all these years the service has been from your school and your State. However, in all good things, in all phases of successful life, there is always a balance of give and take. No service should be one-sided. This leads me to emphasize your class motto-'QBe Loyal to Your Alma lVlater.', This is a very commendable thought and one that will bring you much happiness and mean much to the success of your school in the future. Be true to your motto and instil the same spirit into the lives and minds of all other graduates. Such strong spirit in the proper channels will mean much to the future of the deaf in California. Best wishes to you all. G I 'e4f'f'A1-'a1'Yl Superintendent E91 THE FOOTHILLS FLAME 1'9'3'9 THE SCHOOL FACULTY I rm1t Hom-L. M. Byouk, R. G. B1'ill, J. M. Hatfield, Mrs. E. Struck, A. Biondi, A. W.

Difficult trails met and conquered, Have led us to this new day, We must never, never, be discouraged, No, never will we be that way. Our sad aching hearts bid farewell, Yet we leave with happy tears, Our Alma Mater so faithful, Through childhood and later years. Oh, Thirty-niners, we now go forth, Our worth and strength to prove, But our loyal hearts will never forget, This Alma Mater we love. By Mary Sladek, '39 U31 FLAME 1939 THE FOOTHILLS - MRS.

From day to day, as we filled the pages, we looked forward to the time when we must enter on the last chapter and close the book. Now, as we round out our last school year, we seniors, bid our Alma Mater a sad farewell. Our struggle to achieve our goal has been perilous at times. Since enter- ing the Freshman class four years ago, we have looked forward eagerly to the day when we would be ready to seek our fortunes in the large but com- pact world. We, the graduating class of '39, have enjoyed the pleasant environment at our Alma Mater so much that mere words cannot translate our feelings. Russell Drake, Pauline Schneider, Joseph Pospisil, Shirley Dunlap and Roger Specht in the senior class have been in this school through all the grades from the kindergarten to the twelfth grade. In the fall of 1938 a meeting of the seniors was held to elect class ofiicers. The following class officers are: Pauline Schneider S,,,,.S,,,,. ........ P resident Russell Dralqe Ykfffwfffz ,,,.r,, , Vice President Catherine Engstrom to,,.f, ssssf... S ecfetary Mary Sladgk r,,,rrrr,, rre,,,,,...ee,,,.,,,, Y , ,....oS.,,. Treasurer At the same meeting the officers of the editorial staff of the Foothills Flame were elected and plans were made for getting out the class book. The following students are in the regular twelfth grade under Mr. M. Lapides: Pauline Schneider, Russell Drake, Catherine Engstrom, Roy Miller, Stanley Vranesh, Roger Specht, Shirley Dunlap, Joseph Pospisil, Frank Paniagua, Mary Sladek and William Inman. The following students in the twelfth B class under Mrs. E. Martin are: Billy Curtin, Florence Brown, Elberta Torgerson, Frances Perry, Audrey Harris, Anita Leichel, Yvonne Metzner, Merle Davis and Jorma Ranta. Our Alma Mater will always be remembered as the place where we spent our school years and formed many enduring friendships. i T , N l20l iw- -VA. . THE FOOTHILLS FLAME 1'9'3'9 CLASS PROPHECY In the year of 1959, I, Stanley Vranesh, wishing to know what had be- come of my former classmates, decided to find out. Being a great magician, I could easily do that with my magic lantern. So taking it up, I gave it a few rubs on the sides until the Green Hornet appeared to do my bidding. I commanded the Green Hornet to take me to Anita Leichel. I was taken to far away Holland and with a surprise was led into an art shop to see Anita standing behind the counter. But soon I slipped back into the United States. It was about dinner time when I gave the next command. The command was to take me to a cafe. In the lunch room a slim figure pulled up beside me. It was nobody but Shirley Dunlap. Shirley explained that her love for cooking led her to open a lunch room. I become curious as to what became of Frank Paniagua. At my command I was soon in his presence. Frank had a large farm, a wife and three kids. I then vanished into thin air and decided to look up Racy Drake. I found him busily at work in a large print shop, boldly displaying his name above the front door. I-Ie did not recognize me until I spoke to him. I then asked about his work and himself and he told me that he had a nice home and a set of twins. Looking up, I saw Merle Davis and Billy Curtin, who were printers at Drake's. Merle was married and owned a house in the suburbs while Billy was single and saving his money to become a multi-millionaire. My next visit was with Elberta Torgerson. Elberta revealed how she eloped right after graduation. Leaving Elberta I proceeded to look for Roy Miller. Finding him I began to question him. I elicited the fact that he was an A-1 truck farmer. Sorry, folks, but he was a bachelor. After that the Green Hornet surprised me and took me in the presence of Catherine Eng- strom. Catherine went through college waiting for her boy friend to graduate so they could get married. I decided to take a peep into the life of Joseph Pospisil. He was the head of a large cabinet shop and had hopes of owning his own shop. Looking up Audrey Harris, I found her to be a nurse in a day nursery for babies. Next I visited Florence Brown and Frances Perry. Both were married and living very happily. Flying to Pauline Schneider I found her sitting quietly at a desk with a typewriter in front of her. She began telling me that she loved her manager and they hoped to live in the mountains when they got married. From her I set out to visit Roger Specht. The Hornet took me to a garage called i'Specht's Garagef, Talking with Roger, I learned that he had a girl and hoped to marry her when he became ric. enough. He told me that William Inman was one of his best helpers. It .fa f ' 1 Roger that I got information regarding Mary Sladek. Once E211 g THE FOOTHILLS FLAME 1-9-3-9 again the Green Hornet took me across the country to Washington D. C. I found Mary giving a lecture on social problems in the chapel of Gallaudet College, where she had become a famous professor. I decided to make one more request before breaking my power over the Green Hornet and that was to visit the California School for the Deaf. When I arrived at the school, I found new faces, new teachers and also many new buildings. How long it seemed since I was a student there! Having visited my former classmates and Alma Mater I returned to my home happy in the thought of all my classmates' leading happy and useful lives. .

Banquet, and Dance. a big surprise was handed to nineteen boys, the football coach and the athletic director. Cn behalf of the F. A. A., Mr. Elwood Stevenson presented them with sweaters. On the left sleeve of each sweater are orange bands, each of which represents one year of service on the football team. Roy Miller, Roger Specht and Arlie Taylor have four bands which is the most any boy received. Also on the sweater is a large orange C with a football engraved on it. Some of the boys who were not on the football team were honored with similar sweaters with the old English letter C on each. These boys were honored because of their outsanding work in other sports. Mr. Louis Byoulc, our coach, and lVlr. Vernon S. Birck, dean of boys and athletic director, were also honored with sweaters for the faithful service the F. A. A. had received from them. The Foothills Athletic Association hopes to continue the custom of presenting ubloclcsn to qualified players. This year Michael Slcropeta and Arlie Taylor were among the players chosen for American Schools for the Deaf All-American Football Team. Roy Miller and received honorable mention.

FOOTBALL Our football team has had two very successful seasons in a row. Under the tutelage of Coach Byouk and Captain Roy Miller, we came within three points of the Championship in 193 7, and six points in 1938. Playing honors are distributed among the team, but we must praise Michael Skropeta, Arlie Taylor and Captain Roy Miller for their superb playing. Last season our team was scored upon only twice, the total points being 105 in our favor as against the visitors' 13. Pleasanton 0 C. S. D. 6 On October 7, our football team journeyed to Pleasanton to play the first conference game. The game was a nip and tuck affair, the deaf boys having a slight edge on the Amador team. The only touchdown of the game came on a short pass from L. Escobar to M. Skropeta. The conversion was blocked. Pleasanton made no serious touchdown threat throughout the game, the deaf gridders holding their reverse plays in check. The score should have been larger as our team made twenty-two first downs to Pleas- anton's seventeen. Danville O C. S. D. 41 The second conference game of the year was played on C. S. Dfs 1371 THE FOOTHILLS FLAME 1'9'3'9 rf. Danville, a new team in the league, took a terrible lacing from the deaf gridders. The first touchdown came when our star backman, - . and M. Skropeta were constantly running for touchdowns. Danville forfeited the game in the third quarter with four and a half minutes to go. M. Skropeta and D. Smith each made a touchdown run of fifty or more yards. The nal score was 41 to 0 in favor of the deaf. Brentwood 6 C. S. D. 0 The game with Brentwood at our field was a thrilling game, our team dropping the game, 6 to 0, the only defeat in the season. Our boys, out- weighed by the towering Brentwood boys, tried desperately to stave off the only touchdown of the game, but with the aid of a fumble and six fifteen-yard penalties against our team, Brentwood finally pushed over the score by a sweeping end run. The game was mostly played in the territory of our team. Emeryville 0 C. S. D. 31 On October 28, our football squad journeyed to Emeryville to play the highly touted Spartans. The deaf boys, after dropping the game to Brentwood, were out for a victory at any cost. Here our team whipped up a running attack that would make a college coach envious. M. Skropeta, A. Skropeta, D. Smith, nd C. Hutcheson each contributed a touchdown to make us the overwhelming winners, 31 to 0. Livermore 7 C. S. D. 7 At the final conference game the C. S. D. gridders played hosts to the Livermore cowboys. The jinx of not having won a game from these lads for a number of years was almost broken when our boys tied them for the second consecutive time, 7 to 7. The game was mostly played in Liver- more's territory. Our team outplayed them but buckled up when close to the goal line. St. Helena 0 C. S. D. 20 The last game of the season, a non-conference game, was played in St. Helena November 11. The St. Helena boys in the first few minutes' of play clashed to our team's six-inch line but failed to score on three line plunges. That was the closest they came to scoring all afternoon. The fire works began when Captain Roy Miller scooped a blocked punt and scamped for a touchdown. Dale Smith uncorked a fifty-three yard run for the second score, and M. Skropeta scored from a line plunge, the deaf boys taking the game by a 20 to 0 score. 1381 ' 1 . QLHQLY- -. . . 1 THE FOOTHILLS FLAME 1'9'3-9 First Row-R. Miller, Manager, A. Skropeta, B. Harris, M.

BASKETBALL After a successful year in 1938, in which our team won the only Basket- ball Championship in the history of the school, many of the star players graduated, thus leaving Coach Byoulc with a handful of very green players for the campaign of '39. Our school was hit by a storm of defeats to the right and left. The A team lost all the games with the exception of one. Although they met defeat, they gave the hearing boys a battle each time, losing the game by a mere point at times. On the other hand the B team was a complete Hop, failing to win a single game. They were badly outscored throughout the season. LIBERTY I-II versus C. S. D. Our A team lost a hard fought game to Liberty High School, Jan- uary 13, on the latter's floor. The score was 38 to 37. The B team got snowed under by the taller enemy quint, losing by the score of 42 to 19. EMERYVILLE HI versus C. S. D. Our MAH team lost a dull game to the Spartans in our pavilion. The Emeryville quint had the advantage in height, sinking the ball on the re- bounds. The Deaf boys' quint, a much faster group, lost by the score of 21 to 17. BH team was defeated, 27 to 12.

The hearing girls from Berkeley High School and other schools have competed with the deaf in both B and AH divisions. A conference has not been organized as yet but it is greatly hoped that the girls, Athletic Association will join a conference in the fall of 1939. Basketball, soft ball and baseball games are frequently played. Volley ball, tennis, swimming and indoors sports have also been enjoyed. Short gymnasium hours have forced the girls to play their games on the new playground near Mr. Steven- son's residence. The girls' enthusiastic gymnasium instructor is Miss Lois Cummings, assistant director of Physical Education. 305 E431 THE FOOTHILLS FLAME 1 9 3 9 FOUND IN SCHOOL O A Vranesh but not varnish.

There were gay decorations of colored balloons and crepe paper representing the colors of the association in the Auditorium. A grand march, led by Joseph Pospisil, the President of the F. A. A., and his partner, Audrey Harris, started the program. Four prizes were awarded to the best dancers. The delightful social gathering was enjoyed by every one. It is said that the dance was the most brilliant social event in the history of the F. A. A. The committee on arrangements, headed by Frank Sladelc, deserves great credit for the success of the dance. I CLASS TREE PLANTING PROGRAM On March 14, 193 9, the class tree was planted near the girls' new play- ground. All the pupils of the advanced department witnessed the short but impressive ceremony. Both the 12th Grades participated in planting the tree. The presidents' messages were given by Pauline Schneider and Merle Davis of the 12th grades respectively. Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Hester, Mr. Lapides and Mrs. Martin were called upon to give some remarks. The tree was presented to the school as a token of remembrance of all that it had done for us. The growth and care of it will be followed very closely by the graduating class of nineteen hundred and thirty-nine. E451 1f Pi E F CD CJ T' PI I L I. S F IJ !X bd 1'9'3'9 41?
