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

JUNIORS On a pleasant September day of 1939, seventy-five gay, young freshmen tripped blithely through the arches of Caruthers Union High School. lnexperienced as we were. we soon became organized and settled down to the duties of high school students. 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.

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.
