She has given her time to the many activities of the school. She has been willing to discuss our problems with us and help us get a better understanding of them. During the absence of our principal, she has done an excellent job of fulfilling the duties of the principal of our high school. Even with these added tasks she finds time to devote herself to the students and their problems.

XVe admire the shrubs, flowers, trees, and the perfect condition of the grounds without giving a thought to the fact that such details require the careful attention of some person or persons appointed to the task. likewise, many of us regard too lightly the amount of effort spent in making our Mission an excellent organization. As governing board for our Mission, we have five men who have given untiringly of their time and effort in order that we students may have the best in educational opportunities. lt is their task to be on watch for improvements, to hire teachers when vacancies occur, and to apportion the funds allotted our district. ln addition to the regular monthly meetings the trustees are called upon to attend additional meetings in our district: they also attend, as well, the county meetings held for board members. NI. A. Butler, H. P. Stark, M. O. Pisor, R. I.. Gray, and C. S. Moore perform the duties of trustees of our Mission. All of us have noticed that when a philanthropist gives generously of his wealth to a worthy cause, the public is immediately informed of his unselfish deed. But little commendation is given to the men who give as their contribution a wealth of thought and planning. W'e feel that the latter rank equally with the former, and it is with this thought in mind that we express our sincere appreciation for the work that the board of trustees has done for us. As the graduates set out from the Mission to undertake the duties of men and women in a busy world, we hope that the trustees may feel rewarded for their contribution to education. l X liutlei.

A LETTER TO OUR PRINCIPAL Dear Mr. Walton: While bombs have not actually fallen on Caruthers, we nevertheless have felt the far reaching effects of this tragic war. Little did We realize when school commenced last fall that before half the year was over we would be plunged into a devastating war which would rob us of our principal and upset our regular school curriculum. W'e salute you, Mr. Walton, for your expression of patriotism at this time of national emergency when every man and woman should revere with their lives those fundamental principles of Democracy. Even so we deeply regret your leaving us. Nevertheless, even though you are not with us in person, each day we feel your influence which you have stamped on the ideals and goals of the students of Caruthers Union High School. Remembering the immortal phrase, Life Must Go On, we are attempting to carry on our school life and activities without you. Miss Wall, who has so efficiently assumed your responsibilities, has been our guiding light through the past few months. With her assistance we have endeavored to make Democracy a reality in our school, not for once forgetting that such an ideal entails cooperation, sportsmanship, scholarship, and leadership. By our adherence to these democratic ideals, we have accomplished much. Hit Parade, the Annual Spring Extravaganza, was especially successfulg the C. S. F. program was an added event to our school calendar, and the senior play, Gallahad Jones, promised to be very entertaining. In athletics, your program of inter-class games has been enjoyed by all. Yes, Mr. Walton, we are carrying on, for we know that even though you are not with us, you feel deeply responsible for our destiny. Because of this undying faith in the standard and ideal which you have so nobly perpetuated in this school, we have been able to overcome all difficulties and bring to a close another school year. We have faith that Democracy will triumph in the end, and that once more we will witness the glorious dawning of a peace. When that time comes, Mr. Walton, we shall not forget the part you have played in the conflict, and we will once more welcome your presence in Caruthers Union High School. Sincerely, The Students of Caruthers Union High School 7 LU Jxf 0 xv MII. W. AI. CIII I Mlss INI I Clol I IN MIss AL'c,L1sI'A MIIII-In Xlgul-II. tIv.IIm-III.

It is with heavy hearts that we reluctantly bid adios to our school and march out into life, remembering the joys and gaieties of our high school career. Re- viewing the high lights, we remember that in September, 1938, we entered the portals of C. U. H. S. which was our educational mis- sion for the next four years. Under the leadership of the faculty, we soon accus- tomed ourselves to the rules of higher know- ledge. Accompanied by the delicate strains of a Spanish Guitar, we listen as we recall some of our outstanding fiestas: the Fresh- man-Sophomore Reception in which we wel- comed the incoming class of '43g the junior play, entitled Miss Information starring Barbara Helm and Hiram Coxg the senior playg and topping the list the Junior-Senior Banquet . . . Listen . . . Can't you see the Mardi Gras once again, and can't you hear the soft strains of music gently floating out into the still night? In the sports arena, we seniors have done exceptionally well. Here are a few of our champions: Lee Sarkisian, Fred Helm, and Bill Dildine. We have also been well repre- sented in the musical and speech arenas. We accredit a large part of our success to our advisers and also to our very able officers. Advisers MR.

After the traditional initiation in which our faces were painted a glowing red, we freshmen matched our strength with the mighty sophomores in the annual Tug-O-Wfar, and as the Matador finally succeeds in overcoming the bull, we finally succeeded in winning, despite all odds. Time marched on, and soon we were superior sophomores. As second year students. we assumed the responsibility of welcoming the freshmen to our school, giving them a reception similar to the one that we had received when we were freshmen. Study, study. study, with a siesta now and then, and before we knew it the year was gone. Now as experienced juniors, we have been fast wending our way through The Mission, and have been helping to influence the destiny of our school, by our participa- tion in many activities under the guidance of our class advisers Mrs. Osterhoudt and Mr. Gill, and under the direction of our class officers, Whitney Gallaher, president, Homer Haggard, vice-president, Retha lfullington, secretary and liumi Asakawa, treasurer. i' , .idxixerg l. ,'M.ilt.iw.i. xrt-.nun-rg W.

The activities in which we have participated have been varied in kind. In dramatics, the juniors successfully produced Spring Fever, in which our talented cast including Ray Bates, Retha Fullington, Dorothy Hammond, LaVerne Leal, janet Pisor, Clemmie .lean XValton, Marie Petrey, jimmy XVhitener, Dale O'Quinn, and Bobby Rodriquez dis- played unusual ability. Our junior-Senior Dress Up Day on which many of the students of both classes came to school dressed like old fashioned belles, brides and bridegrooms, and Spanish senoritas proved to be an enjoyable day for all. Topping the list, our junior- Senior Prom deserves special recognition. On this occasion, we were host to the seniors at a farewell dance and buffet supper. Social activities have been balanced by our sports record. Leland Gilstrap, Doyle Blagg, Homer Haggard, Dale O,Quinn, and Bob McTeer are a few of our basketball and football heroes. Clemmie .lean Waltoii, Janet Pisor, and Genevieve Tate have represented us very efficiently on the tennis team together with many other girls who have been especially skilled in other girls' sports. In addition we juniors are proud of our representation in the band, orchestra, and glee clubs, and also of Retha Fullington, our star tumbler as well as jimmy San Sebastian. accordionist. Soon this year will have passed and Manana will be here when we will no longer be juniors but seniors. At that time we hope to achieve a fitting climax of both scholar- ship and leadership in our career. 15 SOPI-IOMORES There's a long, long trail awinding into the land of our dreams twhen we will be seniorsj has been the theme song of us sophomores. We, however, are half way there. But already we have experienced some of the thrills of victors. Basking in the invigorating sun on the plaza, we have witnessed our class developments. On a glorious September morn of 1940, seventy-eight inexperienced, confused freshmen entered the portals of Caruthers Union High School. Lurking behind the corridors, were the ready sophomores who distinctly added something new to our faces. This definitely uneasy feeling, caused by our plentiful make-up, was off-set by the Freshman-Sophomore Party which was a grand event for all concerned. Our freshman year soon passed, and we entered C. U. H. S. as second year students. Then as sophomores, we have again been witnessing successes and achievements made by our class. We have seen some of our members rise high in athletics. Lynette Quist, Leo Gomez, joe Cnbral are only a few who have represented us so ably in the Varsity C and Block C, In the field of social activities, we received the incoming freshmen with the true grace of Castillian Hostesses. We also had an opportunity to display our superiority in the Tug-C7-War. oliicixs: is. ii..,,..fa. ii-ai...-t.-1 i. Q...... ,..fw..1.A..-1 xv. umm.

Bimrd. I.ynette Quist and Norene Neilson have done outstanding work in the musical departments of our school by assisting as soloists on many programs. In addition our class is well represented in the band, orchestra, and glee clubs. In student body activities and on various committees, we sophomores have been lending our time generously, for we know that the extra-curricular activities of our school are very important. Also our class meetings have been successfully conducted, and in them we have been learning parliamentary rules and procedure, so essential to well- rounded students. Thus socially, athletically, and politically, we have been outstanding. Because of these, success has been ours so far. We attribute a large part of our accomplishments to our present advisers, Miss Phelan and Coach Beaver, who have given our officers Lynette Quist, presidentg Rayne Motheral, vice-presidentg Willabelle Helm, secretaryg and Beth Hazzard, treasurer, much assistance. In our two years left we expect to top all records set by any class so far. We know that with team work and helpful advice from our advisers this can be done. Then when we reach the end of the long, long trail and our dreams will be realized, we will see that the goal that we have attained has been one well worth Working for. For our goal will include success in scholarship, citizenship, music, and athletics. With such an unexcelled record behind us, and such lofty aspirations, you can expect a great deal from the class of '44, 17 FRESI-IMEN Bienvenidos ! Spanish Cherubs! This call rang through the halls of Caruthers Union High School on September 22, 1941, for on that day, ninety-one confused freshmen entered high school for a bewildering first year. The usually fair Com- plexion of us Cherubims was changed immediately by the sophomores who painted our innocent faces with brilliant lipstick. Shortly after initiation, we freshmen were guests at a grand fiesta, the Ifreshman-Sophomore party, which proved to be an occasion enjoyed by both classes. Following close was the t1'aditional Tug-O-Wfar in which both classes displayed their manly strength. As seniors have been looking back on their high school life, we have been looking forward to all that we may accomplish in our years at Caruthers Union High School. By 1945 what will we Cherubims have accomplished for ourselves and for C. U. H. S.? Now. even though our position may seem like that of a Spanish pieador, having started in the bull-fighting arena, we know that we shall be successful matadors in the end. Looking ahead to our important future, we have selected class officers: Harold Lawrence, presi- dentg Calvin Wise, vice presidentg Marie Stark, secretary, and Gearldine Graves, treasurer to help us win our high score. Advising our officers, Miss Nelson and Mr. Ritchey have been our favorite arena leaders. UI I IK I RS: Mr. Riuhex, adviser: H, law- reute, president: K. Yfixe, vue-president: M.

This past year our freshman class has entered into various arenas of interest in school activitiesg we have not emphasized only one or two, for our ambition is to be that of a well-rounded class. In school work, our members have chosen all fields of study, ranging from prepara- tion for college to homemaking, commerce, and agriculture. In sports, an arena of much interest to both freshman boys and girls, we have -Iessie San Sebastian and Clara Petrey successfully fulfilling the requirements for Block while in boys' sports, we have a very able captain of the C basketball team in Paul Glatt supported by the very capable players, Roy Harris and Lawrence Khan. In music we have shown our capability by taking part in the band. orchestra. and glee clubs, thus adding our talent to both the Bandjoree and Extravaganva. -Iessie San Sebastian, being especially talented in this field, has delightfully entertained many aud- iences with her accordion. In student body activities and various committees, we have been learning leadership and citizenship, two of the essentials in democratic government. Soon we will be saying adios to our freshman year which has held many treasured memories for us and which has given us a start toward the goal we wish to attain. In the process of our attainment of this goal, many fields of school activities will feel our presence as we, the largest freshman class yet to enter C. U. H. S.. go on to be sophomores, juniors, and seniors. 19 r 20 , : V A, t ,WY I WAHM! Rfmsnn Hl:l,EN HANSEN Aint' -IIKIMIAS President Secretary Treasurer STUDENT BODY We have been very successful this year, Wallace in the leading role of president, doing a very good job, with the assistance of Janet and Leland, vice-presidents. Alice and Paul have done splendidly keeping the financial books in tip-top order, while we found Helen the secretary, struggling to keep the minutes up-to-date at all times. Emma jean, editor of the annual, and Douglas, business manager, have put together a fine piece of work. We noticed lots of pep in all school yells, which were led by Retha, yell leader. Two special elections held everyone's attention during the year. They were those of yell leader and of treasurer. The student body was able to have regular meetings every fourth Tuesday of each month. The most outstanding assemblies were the Christmas program, the Commercial Club play, and the Future Farmers assembly. Of the three student body committees-finance, social and rally-the finance com- mittee has done an extraordinarily good job financing the many branches of the student bod and investin student funds in overnment savin s bonds.

S., a new organization was added to our school. This club has as its goal Scholarship for Service. Our chapter has fifteen charter members who believe in this ideal and who have received the required 3 A's and a B. Those members who have succeeded in being in the organization for six semesters and have thus earned life membership are Adams, Ll. Beck, Y. Hoshiko, M. Macomber, and M. Pedersen.

Direemr BAND ln blue and white uniforms, the band members presented their annual Bandjoree on january 23 at the Caruthers Grammar School Auditorium. The program consisted of novelty band numbers, solos, dances, duets, and selections given by the music clubs. Delmer Say played a number on the solovox and also accompanied LaVerne and Williani jackson while they jitterbugged. Other dance numbers of a military and Hawaiian type were given by Marlene Pedriera. -Iessie and jim San Sebastian added accordion duet numbers to those selections given by an accordion band under the direction of Miss Jessie Millar. The successful Bandjoree program was under the management of Hiram Cox and the direction of Mr. Jack Ritchey. The vocal numbers were under the direction of Miss Inez Coffin. From the proceeds of this show more uniforms were purchased by the band. At other times the band appeared at both the Fresno and Caruthers Fairs with Robert Hunter as drum major: the band also marched in the Fresno Armistice Day Parade and the Caruthers Fair Parade. The experiences of this year should be very profitable to us in our undertakings next year. 26 ORCHESTRA The Caruthers High School Orchestra, led successfully under the direction of Mr. -Iacla Ritchey, consists of thirty-four instruments. During this past year we have had a number of very good performances. In October we furnished the music for the coro- nation of the Caruthers Fair Queen. We displayed our talents when we performed before and between acts at the junior play, Spring Fever. At the spring Extravaganza, The Hit Paradef' we again pleased the public with our instrumental music. Included in this performance were several numbers given by our string quartet, consisting of E. J. Brown, N. Nielson, R. Darmanian, and Mr. Ritchey. Also on the program were L. Quis-t, N. Nielson, C. J. Waltoii. and M. L. Black who played a clarinet arrangement. Later in the year we assisted the senior class at their play, Galahad Jones, and at their graduation exercises. Although all of our performances have been successful, we are looking forward to next year, when we hope to have a bigger and better orchestra.

So successful has the club been since it began, that its membership this past year rose to ninety-eight, the highest in its history, and the highest in any club or class in the entire school. The regular night meetings offered us a whole- some variety of interesting worth-while speeches, movies, music and first-class enter- tainment. This year, as in all previous years, we have been in a strong financial condition, experiencing no difficulty in regard to our finances. The money to defray the many expenses of the club was raised by voluntary contributions. LUMNIIIIIINA lop ion: N Ilntl. NX ISI.nItinnn. I nl I If I IIS Il. II.ige.niI. in.-,nt-snItni1 I'.

Another most interesting meeting was the one at which the Central Californian Commercial College entertained us. In December we presented a play, In May With June for our annual student body assembly. The Commercial Club frequently enter- tained at other student body assemblies throughout the year with debates, skits, plays and music. The last meeting of the year was a farewell party for the senior members. We thank them for their faithful service which has helped to make our club such a success this past year, and we wish them all the luck in the world when they leave school and strike out for themselvesg we are sure that the leadership in our club will help them in their future life's work. Several committees were at work throughout the year. Of these, the play, refreshments, movie, and initiation committees deserve special credit. Aileen Wise, Ruth DeFreitas, Bill Pimenrel and Yoshi Hoshiko were the chairmen of these groups. The committees had many interesting gatherings. I'l.'XY COMXll'l'TIli: Top row: G. Hanner. A.

Plans were discussed for the awarding of a silver cup to the foremost senior athlete. The awards would be based on the number of letters earned while par- ticipating in high school athletics. The main highlight, however, was the purchase of letterman sweaters by the members. Social duties were upheld by an initiation party and by an annual steak bake given at the end of the year for the Block C by the Varsity C . Back row: J. Visor, C. J. Walton, D. Hammond, M.

FOOTBALL The Caruthcrs High Blue Raiders started off very well this year although they lost by a slight margin to Corcoran in our first practice tilt of the year. After a hard battle with Washington Union, we lost the game by a score of 6-0. In the league games, the Blue Raiders fared well by taking their first league game from Central by a score of 18-12. The Raiders were then over-powered by the strong Avenal team by a score of 36-12. Their hard luck was extended through the next two league games as they lost to Clovis, 26-6, and to Coalinga, 12-6. The team then gained revenge by winning from Kerman, 7-0. Among the Blue Raiders who have earned recognition, but who are no longer here to claim it, are George I-Iolston and R. Copeland. When the fall football season rolls around, Blue Raiders of the 1941 season whose absence will be keenly felt are Bill Dildine, Fred Helm, Lee Sarkisian, Hiram Cox, William Jackson, Philip Norton, and Douglas Nielson. 36 BASKETBALL The Varsity A team, although placing fourth in the final arrangement of scores in the league, was a success this last year. Many of the players now on the heavyweight team were on last year's midclleweight team. This year the team suffered the loss of some of its players in the middle of the season, but those remaining made a very good account of themselves under the leadership of Coach Beaver. The Middleweight Bn team, directed by Coach Cook, created most of the excitement this year starting the season in good order. The team had high hopes of taking the league championship but encountered a few set-backs and ended in third place. The lightweight C team, composed mainly of freshmen players failed to take any league tilts although they fared quite well in their practice games. Coach Gill was the leader of the lightweight team. Here's thanks to all who helped with the teams this year. VARSITY A TEAM: Back row: B. Mc'l'eer, I.. Gomes, l.. Gilstrap, I.. Sarlsisian, CAPTAINS: I.. Sarkisian, H. D. Blagg.

Since the cancellation of league games interferrcd with this year's program, the team has gone to work on the right kind of practice. In our two practice games of the year, we both won and lost to our one opponent, Riverdale.

TRACK Although our intcrschool contests were discontinued, the decathalon contest and interclass track meet proved to be an excellent substitute. As a result of hard systematic training. many boys placed well in the events. Medals, purchased by the Student Body. were awarded to the three boys who had the highest number of points in each division. The boys, under the direction of Coaches Gill and Belieu, should be honored not only as track stars but as hard earnest workers. Il. Doi. I'. Sfclku, R. Swacker, K.

TENNIS Although there were no league games, a school tennis team was chosen by a series of tournaments in which anyone was entitled to play. The points for the interclass trophy were given to the class with the largest number of members on the school team. One practice tournament was held with Central Union High School. In this tour- nament Caruthers won the girls' singles and doubles, while Central took the boys' singles and doubles, and mixed doubles. Thanks to Miss Phelan for her work with the tennis team. gs-anmvmmq uv-aura MINOR SPORTS Sports such as swimming, horseshoes, handball, and Croquet have played a greater part in the sehool's activities this year. Since the handball court was built, daily tour- naments have been played and everyone participating has enjoyed the sport. Horse- shoe stakes, Croquet sets, and a ping-pong table were set up for alternative activities in physical education periods. 39 ONLY I I llvk row' N S llinlumn M Peirev ll Hansen, l. iuisr, .

With Flora Shoji as their matador, the seniors were led to triumph over Melva l7ildine's freshmen. The juniors, under Retha Fullington, emerged victorious in their clash with Lynette Quist's sophomores. At the play-off the seniors and juniors fought courageously in a close game, but the seniors were the victors of the volleyball arena. 3 ......... S i lhnk row: ll. lzspinola, l. llirdwll, l..

Competition was greatest during the mixed games at the school on May 6. Since baseball is the last interclass sport of the year, many girls went out in order to win their Block C letter. On account of this fact, competition was strong but the junior class came out victorious. 41 September October u lr November 11 u December Q: 11 january u u February or u March u u u April May u o june C!
