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

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.

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.
