As the theme we have selected the growth ot the school in the hope that it may help bring about the realization ot the growth, the greatness, the strength and beauty ot our school. ln this volume, we have tried to represent each phase of campus life. Above all, we have tried to create a book which will present a complete pictorial review of the past year. Nothing more remains undone but to present it to you. Our one hope is that you may be satisfied. IJEDIEHTIIJN ln Appreciation: This l948 volume of the La Entrada is dedicated to the Lions Club and Mr. Floyd Park who were responsible for making our dream of getting football lights be- come a reality. Every member of the student body, faculty, and the board of trustees is deeply grateful. In years to come these lights will he standing as a memorial to the unfailing efforts of this energetic organization. FIVE LET ME BE AWARE God-let me be aware. Let me not stumble blindly down the ways, Just getting somehow safely through the days Not even wondering why it all was planned, Eyes to the ground unseeking for the light, Soul never aching for a wild-winged tlight. Please, keep me eager iust to do my share. God-let me be aware. God-let me be aware. . Stab my soul fiercely with others' pain, Let me walk seeing horror and stain. Let my hands, groping, find other hands. Give me the heart that divines, understands. Give me the courage, wounded, to fight. Flood me with knowledge, drench me in light Please, keep me eager iust to do my share. God-let me be aware. -Miriam Teichner r Z 1 5 f 3 ,,,, Z Z f 7 1 f-mf X X ,, f X 4 i 9 7 4 NN N S Q Qx S x Q NNXNXXXXXQ X' iq' ' 9 x w .

BLESSED is the leader who knows where he is going, why he is going, and how to get there. BLESSED is the leader who knows no discouragement, who presents no afibi. BLESSED is the leader who knows how to lead without being dictatorial, true leaders are humble. BLESSED is the leader who seeks for the best for those he serves. BLESSED is the leader who leads for the good of the most concerned, and not for the personal gratification of his own ideas. BLESSED is the leader who develops leaders while leading. BLESSED is the leader who marches with the group, interprets correctly the signs on the pathway that leads to success. BLESSED is the leader who has his head in the clouds but his feet on the ground. BLESSED is the leader who considers leadership an opportunity for service. L A Blfl HD PTH S EES The board of trustees have many responsibilities, such as planning the budget for the school year for each department, signing the contracts for teachers, and signing the checks to pay the bills. They have general management over all the school. Their time and efforts are given to our service with no pay. This year the board has had an extra hard year. They have arranged for a cafeteria for the students and they are also plannng a school farm for the Future Farmers. We wish to thank the board for a iob well done. MRS.

SLOPER B 5 DHI EHS The bus drivers for the high school are: Mr. Sloper, Mr. Park, Mr. Kissee, Mr. Wood and Mr. Johns. Besides their daily routes in the country they have driven the buses to games for the players and sometimes for the band. On numerous occasions they have driven the buses for the band when it had to play for contests, festivals, and parades. We owe much to these people for their patience and willingness to do these extra things. ITUH5 Our ianitors in past years have had little acclaim given them. Now is the time for their work to be made known. Mr. Beith, Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Brown, have kept our buildings and campus clean for several years. This makes our school one to be proud of.

To start the year off with a big bang Jimmy Foster was elected president. The big events for that eventful year were the box social, freshman-sophomore party in the fall, the return party the freshmen gave the sophomores in the spring, and the first assembly sponsored by this class. The second year began with electing John Brothers president, and Roy Nevins took the oFfice for the second semester. That year another assembly was presented in May which was a big success. Other highlights of that year were the Soph Hop and the annual class party. Jerry Collier was elected president the first semester of the junior year and Richard Soares was president the last half of the year. That year the class sponsored its first play, Cyclone Sally, which was a huge suc- cess. Sunburns and straight hair were the glowing results of the party at Yosemite Lake which the seniors gave for the iuniors. Everyone agreed that he had a wonderful time in spite of the consequences. A semi- formal dance which was well attended helped provide some needed money for the class. The climax of the activities for this year came with the Junior-Senior Prom. The theme was Deep Purple and this affair cer- tainly topped off the iunior year. The senior year was started by presenting the play, The Whole Town's Talking. The class had a dance on April 2, iunior-senior party in the spring, and senior ditch day which none would have missed for any- thing. Yet, the biggest event for most seniors was baccalaureate, the prom, and graduation. Baccalaureate services were held June 6, and commencement was June 8 when caps and gowns were worn at CUHS for the first time. JIMMY BEAVER President LEFT TO RIGHT J. Phillips V. Felder J. Beaver F.

Zurilgen SENIUH PLAY THE WHOLE TOWN'S TALKING The annual senior play was presented on December fifth under the direction of Miss Lois Burch. lt was a hilarious, three-act comedy farce. Miss Burch became ill before the play was to be staged, but the students gave a dress rehearsal, the matinee, and the Friday night performance. The plot evolved in this manner: Ethel Simmons is determined that Donald Swift, floppish Frenchman, is the man for her as she wants o man of the world. The mixup begins when the father decides she should marry his partner, Chester Binney, an absent minded drudge of thirty-tive years, who admits to have had a love affair with Letty Lythe, a famous movie star.

Decorations tor this initial event were planned by Barbara Jones. They had catchy games for their guests. Lively music for dancing, furnished by the Solid Set, the school dance band, closed the eve- ning's entertainment. The treasury was bolstered by a concession at the Donkey Basketball game on December l2. During the Christmas hol- idays the class sponsored a semi-formal dance which gave the alumni and other interested citizens an opportunity to enter into a school activity. This dance was well attended by many guests who appreciated the artistic decorations carried out tor the occasion. The class supported whole-heartedly its candidate for queen of the Barn Dance.

ST DENT ST DE T BIIIIY ln previous years the CUHS student body has striven to better the school itself and to have more activities. T948 was a bigger and better year to remember. At the beginning of the school year, nineteen hund- red and forty-seven, the student body officers were sworn in as follows: George Trout, President, Duane Collier, Vice-president, Melba Jeanne Tharp, Secretary, and Betty Lou Hansard, Treasurer. Betty Lou took the place of Richard Soares, as he was in the hospital and was not able to attend school this year. The officers led the student body through a year of colorful activity. As the new year goes into session, yell leaders must be elected to lead the student body through a success- ful year of sports. Try-outs were held in the auditorium Smith, and Joybelle Heffington were named the victor- each game. As well as leading the students they gave EUUNIIIL STANDING: H. Rogers, J. Beaver, G. Trout, W.

THIRTY-Fl VE ST HE T BIQIIJY UF II H5 The student body has been organized since l936. The purpose of having the student coun- cil to direct many of the school activities dur- ing the year is to give real experience in self-government and the use of the machinery of a democracy. The officers of t'zc student council are elected by the student body. With these officers the elected heads of all import- ant student organizations form the council which act on such matters as spending student monies for football lights, for expenses of STUDENT BODY OFFICERS CUHS representatives at conferences, for dec- TOP ROW. Memo Thorp Betty Hansard orations at student body dances, for athletic BOTTOM ROW: George Trout, Duane Collier trips, and other related expenditures. This body provides nominees from which its successors are elected to hold office during the following year. Last year a new organization was organized, the Student Court of Appeal. This organization consists of four students, President of Girls' League, President of Honor Society, President of Boys' Club, and President of the Student Body and two faculty members. This Court is for the benefit of any student who might have cut. He may plead his case before the Court of Appeal and be judged accordingly. Under the sponsorship of the student council about four noon dances were given each quarter. The most exciting and important event of the year was the installation of the football lights. With the help of the CUHS boys, Floyd Park had the lights up in time for the first football game of the season. There could be found nowhere a prouder student body. All the dances, parties, and activities led to a rich and full year. lt is hoped the year following will be a year of even greater attainment. COURT OF APPEALS LEFT TO RlGHT STANDING: M. Segal, H.

In addition to the reg- ular money-making project, pie-selling, car stickers and doughnuts were sold. The Hi-links party was quite a success. At this strictly stag affair, Levis and bright shirts were worn. The girls had fun participating in relay games and saw some movies lthe latter were interrupted by a broken fire alarm.l Cider and doughnuts were served. The spring was heralded with a Mother and Daught- er's Reception where a program was presented by RUTH MYER members ot the League for their mothers and teachers. President A great deal of interest in the point system this year was shown by the large number of points turned in. Most of the girls tried to earn a small letter. Pointswere given tor appearances with the band, selling pies, serving on committees, and almost all other extra-curricular activities. The most important reason for keeping a record ot the points earned is the tact thata cup is given at each graduation to the girl with the most points in the Girls' League. The officers this year were: President, Ruth Myer, Vice-President, Doris Milleson, Secretary-Treasurer, Lu- anne Kent, Point Keeper, La Vern Thiel. LEFT TO RIGHT: L. Kent, R. Myer, D. Milleson, L.

The purpose ot the club was to ship, clean sportsmanship, and to act for the generalgood ofthe school. The officers were Mr. H. R. Olson, Theodore Pretzer, Wilson Latimer, and Merlin Luick. Later on the Boys' Live-Wire was called the Boys' Club. Mr. Steve Varich is the present sponsor of theclub. The Boys' Club was able to have two parties, thelast one was a get-together party for all of the young men in the school so that they had the opportunity to become better acquainted with one another. The Boys' Club has been one of the most active clubs in school, because it keeps up the good spirit ot sportsmanship and friendship.

The outstanding events for this year were able to be covered in torty-nine pages bound by a card- board cover. In T933 the La Entrada staFf was chosen from the journalism class with Josephine Keller as editor and Frank Ozcoidi, business manager. This annual had grown to include eighty-three pages. The sign of school growth had to be cut down during depression years to only sixteen pages because ot lack of funds PHYLLis MCCLARAN , , Edna, tor this school protect. Each year the annual has increased its size. In I948 ninety pages were used to show the various activities of school groups. ' The work of the art department, English department and the commercial department has been greatly ap- preciated by all concerned with the editing of this annual. The editor and sponsors ofthe 1948 La Entrada have enjoyed the challenge of making the annual repre- sentative of school purposes and aims. To share thegrowth of this proiect with an interested community is a pleasure. LEFT TO RIGHT FIRST ROW: J. Foster, F. Martin, E. Chicllaw, O. Thompson, B. McLaughlin, P. McCIaran SECOND ROW: D.

Elaborate plans for this get-together includeed the singing of Christmas carols, delicious refresh- ments, and an exchange of gifts. The most important event of the year was the Junior Fair. All homemaking girls looked forward to this with great anticipation. They were hopeful of winning a prize on their projects of food or clothing. They . earned sixty dollars on their booth last year. The money went to the F.H.A. fund. Six of the girls earned sweepstakes which were offered for students winning the highest prizes. ln addition to food and clothing, child care, house decoration, care of the sick, home management, and nutrition are studied in homemaking.

LEADERS The first great talk of the school year was to elect yell leaders. This task was accepted with great zeal and spirit by the students. Four very good teams tried out before the student body and faculty at an assembly. Char- lotte Smith, Renee Martin, and Joybelle Heffington were the members of the winning team. These girls worked very hard to present to the student body at games new yells and new ideas for rooting. They were at most of the games for which transportation was provided and bolstered the moral of the boys on the teams.

There were a few broken bones, but no serious accidents. The Chowchilla eleven got off to a good start by defeating Le Grand in the first game of the season under our new football lights. The fact that we had most of our last year's players was a point in our favor. The team had a new coach this year. He is Coach Carl Leuder from Fresno. He led the team through some very close and victorious games. The game at Avenal was considered the best of the whole season. The team went 90 miles to win l2-7 over Avenal. The team stayed for a dance after the game celebrating Hallowe'en. The second best game of the season was with Coalinga. Although the score wasn't too high or close, the fellows on both teams played a very fine game. Our team has improved a great deal this year and is expected to be even better next year. Under Coach Leuder they are hoping to win the championship. All the games were interesting, and the bleachers were packed at home games. School spirit was excellent at both games and dances afterwards. LEFT TO RIGHT BACK ROW: C. Leuder, E. McGhee, J, Phillips, L. Brigance, SECOND ROW: J. Palmer, N. Tharp, B. Maynard, H. Barba, L.

Many ofthe noon hours here at CUHS were filled with excitement as the football- teams of the different periods battled it out on the gridiron. This intramural sport was different from the others in that it was a battle beween the periods instead of classes. The games started at l2:OO noon and lasted until a little after 12:30. They were refereed by the regular football players and Coach Varich. Each team was different from the next in that the third period players were smaller than fourth, on up to sixth. The team also specialized in different tactics, Third period in reverses, fourth period, in end runs and short passes. lThey also say their captain had plays down to perfectionl, fifth period, in quarter back sneaks, sixth period in brawn and long passes. The team captains were as follows: Harold Phillips, third, Toppy Chis- holm, fourth, Aldine Wesson, fifth, Doris Bass, sixth. Practically all teams had a chance to play each other. The championship was taken by the sixth period players, the fifth period boys hold second place, the participants in the third and fourth periods deadlocked, each claimed it was the unquestionable winner. This was an interesting attraction this year at CUHS and add- ed to our well-rounded athletic activities. LEFT TO RIGHT, BACK ROW: J. Foster, D. Bass, J. Phillips, J. Fulmer FRONT ROW: H. Reeves, J.

Fine teamwork and playing went to make this season a more successful one. The Rotary Club chose Jerry Bennett the most outstanding player.

There were eleven girls and twelve boys. At the first of the year a tennis ladder was formed for the girls. Numbers were drawn by the girls and the ladder started accordingly. By March, when the ladder closed, Jackie Aultman was in first place, Mel- ba Tharp was second, Marjorie Stitt De Hart, third, and Phyllis McClaron, fourth. The boys' ladder was not started until the last of February after basketball season. By the end of March, Duane Collier was in first place, Bill De Hart, second, Bill Davis, third, and Frank Kuhn, fourth. Members of the basketball teams were late getting started, consequently, they had not yet been placed on the lad- der in a definite position. LEFT TO RIGHT: BACK ROW: D. Collier, E. Chicflaw, J.

SIXTY-ONE ,fr-'idiw ff X ' f Z f , Z AW, K X l The groaning, moaning, screeching of instruments became an important part of this high school in 1931 under the direction of Mr. Russell Welker. The small nucleus of students interesed in this activity grew until it reached sixty-five. The growing pains for the band did not stop with Mr. Welker's resignation because of ill health, but the band has continued in its achievements under Mr. Ralph Bredenberg's direction. Mr. Bredenberg has entered the band in many contests and parades. The coveted second prize was awarded this organization at the Lions Club Convention held in San Francisco last summer, in Stockton recently RALPH BREDENBERG the band was given a superior rating. The band took first prize in the Difecfvf Madera Old Timer's Day parade. The band was also the guest of the Raisin Bowl on New Year's Day, 1948. During this year the introduction ot many clever stunts between the halves at football games became a main attraction for many ot the community fans, Some of the stunts formed were: A heart with an ar- row through it with the band playing Let Me Call You Sweetheart, a pipe with the pep squad forming bubbles and the band playing l'm Forever Blowing Bubbles, a staff and treble cleft with the maiorettes holding notes and the band playing Deep Purple, and on Thanksgiving, a church with a Steeple while the band played a Thanksgiving hymn. The maiorettes with their new uniforms and Jimmie Foster, drum major, added greatly to the attractive- ness ot the stunts and marching technique. Olticers were elected this year tor the first time in the history of the band. President, Harold Rogers, Vice-President, Jimmie Foster, Secretary, Bonnie Harris, Treasurer, Doris Milleson.

First of all I want to mention Alfred Cane, ablest of business managers, Ed- ward Chidlaw, and Otis Thompson, assistant business managers, Barbara Hansen, art editor and Bill McLaughlin, assistant art editor, and Mary Hickman, assistant editor, all of whom helped to make the proiect a better one. Much appreciation goes to our sponsors, Miss Kruwel, Miss Warvarovsky, and Mrs. De Vaurs, who have been so interested in the book and its completion, for the untiring work they have done. Mr. Clyde Quick, our advisor, made many helpful suggestions which the staff acted upon. Merited praise goes to Renee Martin, Melba Tharp, and Kathleen Rogers for the time they freely spent to ready the material for this publication. Then, too, there were Mr. John Howell and Mr. George Wessels who, with patience and skill, did the annual photography this year, and Mr. Leslie .l. Serpa of the Fresno Bee Enf. graving Company. To the S. K. Smith Company of Los Angeles goes the credit for the creation of the cover and for the binding. Lastly, there is one man whose loyalty and fine service was greatly appreciated. Through his friendliness and his experienced helpfulness Mr. A. L. Rogers of the Graphic Arts Printing Company has made himself a vital part of the i948 La Entrada. To all of these friends, and the staff as a whole, I can do nothing more to show my appreciation than to say: Thanks very much for your friendship, cooperation, and your labors. Good Luck! PHYLLIS McCLARAN Editor SEVENTY THREE SE IIJHS WITH DISTI IITIU The purpose of this award wasto find the four most outstanding sutdents in the class of T948. they were not chosen for scholastic ability alone, but the emphasis for consideration of these students was placed on their influence at home, in school and in the community. The particular qualities looked for among these students -were: dependability lstick-to-it-ivenessl, initiative, lability to begin a project and creativityl, cooperation lat home, at school and in the communityl, member- ship in school and 'in community activities, and morals lpetting by reputation, liquor, tobacco gossipingl. These characteristics were each scored so as to give a balanced and proportionate estimate. The per- fect score was 170 points. The process of elimination for this award was beg un by the La Entrada staff presenting the faculty with a list of names of all the seniors. Each member of the faculty, with the above particular qualities of per- sonality growth in mind, submitted the names of five seniors who approached these characteristics. The senior advisors ther .Tallied these suggestions and with their own selections presented a list of names of eleven high rating students to a board of control. This board was composed of two student representa- tives and one faculty sponsor from each class except the senior. These nine committeemen shared their knowledge and experience on these students by evaluating each personal attribute according to the given score. After the nine scores were totalled, the four names with the highest scores were considered the most outstanding students in the class of l948. The eleven seniors who were first recognized as qualifying for this particular honor were: Evelyn Alves, Leah Buffington, Winnifred Boyer Day, Jimmy Foster, Delivan Gordon, Barbara Hansen, Phyllis McClaran, Ruth Myer, Harold Rogers, Melba Tharp, and Eddie Thiel. The four who held the highest scores from among these were: Harold Rogers, Melba Tharp, Jimmy Foster, and Phyllis McClaran. The careful consideration, thoughtfulness, objective thinking, impartiality, shared experiences of the fac- ulty and members of the board of control are held in high regard by the La Entrada staff. This keen award is not only a high honor to the recipients, but also sheds highlights on the members of the school com- munity who have a sensitive appreciation of the fine qualities upheld for this award.
