' VN Vol XIII June 1937 No. 1 Petrolia Presents ' 36- ' 37 Chronicle Yearbook Features School Activities In Newspaper Theme Fashioned after the whims the taste of the sourpuss night goes to press in step with the ra abreast with all phases of living Divisions for seniors, classes, sports, and organizations com- piled in true journalistic style add a novel atmosphere to this year- book. Seniors merit the headline Dews, juniors handle classified ads, sophomores feature the so- ciety section, and junior high runs in the comic strips. To emphasize further the jour- nalistic theme, the sports editors have deviated from the charac- teristic color of the other pages and adopted green paper for their sections. Articles of this division have been loosely written without strictly adhering to editorial or news stylo, but blending the qual- ities of both to bring that individ- ualistic touch to the section which is peculiar to the daily sheets. of newspaperdom, styled for editor, the Petrolia this year pid pace of school life, as in this mechanical era. News Flash! Student Body Officers Elected Election of the 1!I37-1!I3S stu- dent body officers was held the latter part of May. and after a week of electioneering, the following people were voted into office: Cledith Bourdeau, Presi- dent : Donald Gilman, V i c e President; Yvonne Hay, Sec- retary; George Lacey. Treas- urer; Allan Collins, Business Manager; James Bruce. Boys ' Yell L°adei; Jessie Hunter, Girls ' Yell Leader. School Annual Published By Coalinga High Members of the Petrolia staff have endeavored to leave for the student b o d y a yearbook worthy of remembrance. It it their belief that as the students thumb through its pages in years to come, they will feel a warm glow at the glance of each described event of this un- forgettable year. Student activities in the high school during the past year have been more numerous than ever before, since three new and two young clubs have been function- ing. Student control has been in- troduced in senior high and a new system of election has been tried in junior high. Moving pic- tures have been used extensively both for entertainment and for classroom instruction. Swimming and football have made marvelous headway, carrying forward with them school spirit. It is with these thoughts in mind that the members have en- joyed their task. Page 2 The Petrolia June 1937 Vice Principal Gives Message To Graduates Elbert Hubbard once s a i d, The true test of one ' s education lies in the possessor ' s ability to serve. At no time has this statement been more applicable than tcday. As young men and women com- pleting your high school work, the challenge of the world lies in the one word service . The one thing in which I he world is inter- ested is your ability to serve. You will not ne cal ed upon to give an account of how m u c h work you have taken in school or how much you k n o w. The world is not interested in your tack recoids. your position on the debating team, or school lien- ors you have taken, unless they are indications cf your ability to serve. It is in erested in what you can do. It is interested in your ability to give to your fel- low men. in service, that which goes beyond doing what you have agreed to do. what you have been paid for doing. It is interested in that additional service w h i c h makes your work s and out. and above the ordinary requirements of the task. As an example of the difference between required w o r k and service, let us take the case of the gasoline station operator, who nils your gas tank and puts w a- ter in your radiator, and w i t h this, considers his task complet- ed. Now let us compare him with the man who, with a smile, wipes your windshield, the rear w i n- dow, checks y o u r battery and tires as a part of the work of selling gas and oil. We need not ask which station is going to get your patronage. And still, both j men perform the required task, j One, however, gave you some- thing that money cannot buy. The willingness to take care of the things that were, perhaps, not absolutely necessary, but added greatly to your c o m fort and frame of mind. Service Plus Duty It is service of this kind that the world is looking for, and is willing to pay for. There are plenty of opportunities for these who have trained themselves to consider their work or their posi- tion as worthy of more of their time and energy t h a n just the eight hours per day. which is the actual requirement of your job. It is this type of service, willing- ly given, that has taken a young- freight clerk and placed him in the railroad president ' s c h a i r, and it is this kind of service that has produced the things w h i c h have made this world a better place in which to live. There are today, as there have been in the past, opportunities for those who have prepared themselves for work in some par- ticular field. To the student who has trained himself to do this work well, who can find work to do without being told, and who can do it with a smile, the word failure will have lost its mean- ing. And. to the Class of ' 37, if you give to the world your best, it will return its best to you. — T. A. ELLESTAD. June 1937 The Petruliu Page 3 FOREWORD In ibis East-moving world of to- day, the spirit of modern times is typified by the baste and ac- tivity wi b which everyone works. Each individual seems to have a definite and limited amount of time in which to carry on the ne- cessities of living. School life has speeded up to keep apace with the rush of i be machine age in which we are now living. The present-day newspaper best characterizes this ac ivity. T e r S e headlines flash news throughout the world, enabling one to be informed en last-min- tlte happenings at a mere glance. Sub-heads and stacks carry the details: feature stories and freaks add human-interest and local col- or. The members of I be staff of this year ' s Petrolia have attempt- ed to capture this trend by pat- terning the 1937 book after the modern newspaper. The conven- tionality which has usually tied the hands of a yearbook staff has been done away with, and in its place have been substituted up- to-the-minute ideas. In keeping with the theme our efforts have been turned toward a more unique arrangement of material and a greater diversity of sections. In place of the old still pictures, action photos and candid camera shots have been presented. Just as the influence of the aewspape r is unquestionably stamped upon the lives of the public, it is our earnest desire that this edition of the Petrolia will stamp memories of school days upon tbe life of every individual in the school, till the h a n d of Deatb writes 30 on your career. DEDICATED TO ONE WITHOUT WHOSE cooperation and confidence so cheerful- ly given them for six years, members of this outgoing senior class would not have had inspiration. WITHOUT WHOSE perseverance and understanding, our rise would not have been forceful. WITHOUT WHOSE services as faculty adviser for The Pe- trolia for the past two years, we would not, nor could not have been successful. WITHOUT WHOSE staunch refusal to be honored, this sur- prise dedication would not have been so pleasurable. MRS. RUTH LiMUNYON Students Plan for World Peace The topic for the annual Senior Essay this year was World Peace . Such a topic is especially fitting at the present time because of the horrible war that is raging in Europe and the trouble that is brewing between the more important nations of the world. At the Seventh Annual Ideals Conference held in Fresno on April 3, one of the discussion groups was on the subject of Youth and World Peace. The underlying theme brought out in every discussion on the subject was the fact that the peace of the civilization of the future rests in the hands of today ' s youth. We must realize that if our world is to be made free from the ravages of war and the iron hand of dictatorship, a constructive plan must be in- itiated today whereby such a situation could be brought about. Universal peace and good will is a patient, logical building, step by step, as constant as evolution and as unfaltering as time. Countless plans have been suggested, and every proponent thinks that his brain child is the only appropriate one. There are pessi- mists and optimists who will give innumerable views on the subject, but through it all one fact remains. The time has come for a change, and only those who do not have the energy and initiative to undertake it can fail to see the need. One of the most logical plans that has been proposed is that the solution of the prob- lem lies in EDUCATION — primarily a revi- sion in the methods of teaching in regard to militarism and peace. The first step in such a plan might be a change in the manner our young people are trained in the home. This would alter their view-point and allow them to look at the subject of peace and war with minds that are unbiased by prejudice. In many of the countries of the world, especially Ger- many, children are taught that the greatest honor attainable is to die for their country. They are taught to blindly worship their lead- er, even though he may be a ruthless dictator determined to destroy the very civilization of which they are a part. All of this is good pa- triotic sentiment, but what does it get us be- sides heartbreaks and destruction? The next step to attain would be a revi- sion in our system of teaching in the schools and universities on the subject of war. This could be begun by a revision of textbooks deal- ing with the subject. They should be made up-to-date and not continue to cling to the idea of hatred that is so prevalent. It is only when we can understand and analyze a situ- ation that we can constructively work to over- come it. At present vivid pictures are painted in our minds of the horrors and terrors of war, but we are not taught how to prevent them. We are not told that it is the job of youth to build upon past experience and actually make plans whereby peace can be effected. When all this is accomplished we have laid a solid foun- dation on which to build. Such a system could then be extended. By wider use of the radio and the control of hos- tile propaganda, nations could be brought in- to closer contact with each other. The habits and peculiarities of other countries could be learned and allowances made. By expositions of the fine and applied arts the culture of other races could be studied. By means of interna- tional forums and student correspondence edu- cational facilities could be brought together and the topic made universal. By means of all these things just mentioned race prejudice could be entirely done away with and in its place a great amelioration between the nations of the world. A challenge has been made to the youth of today. Let us meet this challenge squarely, and fight with every fibre to overcome the monster of war, lest it overcome us. 0) Eh o 3 W , s s o oa.ni, me rsarDasoi mm, was pre- sented and the students joined In inging the old favorites. ; I Modern Poetry e tf f Two eyes have I Two eyes have you One nose have I One nose have you Are we twins? rlod In Miss chosen her topic] World for the maxes a spent roll senior essl J o Hold ty Tonight pirates a will to v. defeat all in s who stalked in hooky (which o: er do!) and go fishln Epidemics such as ditching Spring ah but alas — one has o do even tho ' its spri So — the moral of i to be: Don ' t d vjtjo hard.it may 1 _nd let he whi W1 ' Nc Mr. Ellest known as W.

Open air commencement exer- cises added a hit of novelty to the regular routine of the year ' s graduation, and the platform and bleacher system, which recalled memories of victories won and lost on t ha t turf, proved especial- ly convenient and appropriate for seating Coalinga ' s largest outgo- ing class and its many parents and friends. Following the invocation by Rev. J. Stanley Roberts. James K. Fisk. California Department Ad- jutant of the American Legion, gave the commencement address. after which he presented legion awards. Nellie Mabrey, senior c I a s s president, ami .lack Laeey, stu drill body president, both spoke a few words in behalf of the or- ganizations which they repre- sented. Pins were awarded for boy and girl scholarships, all around ath- letics, senior essays, debating. Constitution, and orchestra and pleted with a banquet before com music. Fel; and gold C s were lneiic ement and the annual Al- a warded; and trustees develop- umni dance afterwards. Seniors Leave Monument To Cofdinga High Tradition was upheld by the graduating class of 1937 in the dedication of the annual senior monument on June 8, prior to commencement exercises. A revolving score board, erected in the gymnasium, was presented to E. M . Hanst, Pres- ident of the Board of Trustees, by Class President Nellie Ma- brey. The board, which was constructed in the s c h o o I ' s woodwork and machine shop, is equipped for showing the local and visiting team ' s scores, quarter, and the time which remains in the game. meiii cups were presented to the outstanding senior boy and girl. Thai unforgetable night will long live in the memories of those seniors whose evening was com Groups Attend Joint Rites Of Baccalaureate Impressive Ceremonies Conducted by Local Ministers Members of t h e graduating classes of the junior high school, senior high school, and junior col- lege assembled in the high school auditorium Sunday evening. June (i, for t lie observance of a joint Baccalaureate ceremony. Reverend W. A. Fisher opened the sacred rites with a solemn invocation, following which Rev- erend J. Stanley Roberts offered prayer. Appropriate passages from the Scripture were read by Reverend W. H. Hall. Reverend G. G. Hoisholt deliv- ered an impressive and dignified farewell sermen to the graduat- ing class. The inspired services wen brought to a close by Reverend Haro ' d B Uemil ' er, who pro- nounced the benediction. After the ceremonies the pro- foundly impressed graduates dis- persed until their final reunion on commencement night. Page 6 The Petrolia June 1937 ' ■3 ST , • B. A VERS N. BAGLEY L.BECKHAM J.

Bill Hull is again chewing his pencil to shreds in a final attempt to pass the Subject A English examination. They say that faint heart never won fair lady, and it seems that faint studying never passed an exam- ination. 2. Ila Hensley always was kinda curious, and at last sht has found a means of satisfying her curiosity — and that of others too. Ila edits a spicy little news- paper called The Party Line Gossip . For the lowdown on somebody, Ila just glances into her obliging crystal. Watch your step, folks! 3. Between day dreams and naps, Allan McLean industrious- ly pounds away on another of his famous books on United States Economics. We wonder if he is as able to tell his wife how to balance the household budget, as he is to tell us how to balance what is known as the national budget. 4. Here we find Flossie Henry giving the unsuspecting Eugene McKiney a sample of her fa- mous fish soup. Oh, but the risk he ' s taking! Flossie ' s cooking may be described as being a lia- bility to the insurance compan- ies, but an asset to the under- takers! 5. Elton Tarzan Koonce was always a brave, heroic lad. and he gets to be more so every day. It was just this las ' April first that this noble Navy lad dashed Into the briny deep and rescued Fern Kent from two feet of wa- ter. We always knew that Elton would do something great some day! 6. Miss Jean Whitener is now (UT most famous art critic. With but one glance through her specs. she has decided the fate of many a young artist. Jean now has a studio across the street from the Alcalde University. 7. Errol Jeffcoat seems to be having some difficulties in trans- porting his luggage — after all, you aren ' t a pack animal, are you, Errol? California ' s unusual weather is rather warm too, isn ' t it? 8. With its mouth wide open, the world admires the latest Par- is fashions as created and model- ed by Miss Winnie McDowell. 9. The horse got disgusted, so Edwin Penfield and Arvilla Che- ney found that it was more ad- visable to walk — but, even walk- ing gets t i r e s o m e — or maybe they ' re waiting for a street car. 10. For cooking for two, oh, what wonders a cookbook can do! At least that ' s what Christine Stines says. She even has one very reputable book which ex- plains in detail how to boil water without scorching it. (Tip to young married women: consult Chris- tine on where to buy your ex- planatory cookbooks. 11. Emmett Ferguson once got into difficulties over some pies. For that reason, Emmett has de- cided that it would be a good idea to open a bakery, so that he can eat pie when, where, and as often as he likes. That seems to be the reason that the Fergu- son Bakery sends out such ex- cellent pies — Emmett samples them all. 12. At last, we are happy to present to you the winner of the three-day bicycle race! Miss Nel- lie Mabrey! From her kindergar- ten days until now. Nell has been a real mistress of the wheel. 13. Atop his fashionable New York penthouse, we find our not- ed statesman. Bill Ayers. gone in for gardening in a big way. Even though his vegetables fail, his beard is sure to stand by him — then, too, it saves on the razor blade expense. 14. The Masquerade Party giv- en by Miss Selma Berman last night was one of the most unique in the history of society. Here we find: Charlie Jensen making a brave attempt to smoke a pipe that is half as big as he is; Sel- ma wringing her hands in de- spair because Dale Western has failed to arrive: Ardith Gertsch masquerading as Captain Sil- ver, and appropriately so since she is now literally a mistress of silver (dollars); Harold Koehler, the hen-pecked husband with the handlebar mustaches, looking in despair at his ' docile ' little wife Polly Anna Mahon. We won- der why Polly has her hands over her ears? The clown with the mouth full of harmonica cannot be identified. 15. Frank Hawkins is now a Wall Street shark. Just take note of the ' fishy ' expression on his face. Hawkins always had an ability to convince people of things they didn ' t want to be- lieve. He even sold a refrigera- tor to an Eskimo once. 16. The latest fad among social elite is miniature gardening. Here we find Nadine Bagley showing her prize cactus gardens to Em- ma Jane Esrey. Xadine ' s cacti are really quite famous. They are so extremely delicate that Na- dine has had to import Arizona sunlight from the west so that the plants would not feel home- sick for their native habitation. 17. Remember Dorothy OdellV Well. Dorothy used to do quite a bit of dancing, but right now her dancing is done with her fingers, and not with her legs. She is head typist tor the Fraud Broker- age. Page 12 The Petrolia June 1937 June 1937 The Petrolia Page 13 1947 Excerts Continued 18. Irvin Kwock wants to be sure he doesn ' t catch cold — as a result lie carries his (stove) pipe willi him in all weather. Better get a patent on the idea, Irvin, and sell it to the Eskimos, or it might go over big with these Lit- tle America Exploration Expedi tions. 19. Jerry Sagaser can always he found snoozing over his pipe dreams — we are willing to wager that his dreams are not on his- tory or bookkeeping, but then who wants to dream about school work? 20. Here is an exclusive snap o£ Leslie Stephens and Allen Smith as they make a graceful (?1 exit after a visit to see their lady love. It looks as though the old man ' s foot was large enough for two — or maybe he took two strikes. 21. H o w a r d Uhl and Dale Western are on a sit-down strike (Note: If we were they, we ' d stand up long enough to loot for some shade). From the glum looks on their faces, it is evident that neither Louise nor Selma is anywhere in the vicinity. 22. Melvin Cowsert and Wal- lace Culley seem to be working very hard — maybe not with their arms, but obviously with their tongues. These worthies are dig- ging a cyclone cellar in Tangan- yika. 23. Berta Jo Cook has now be- come dictator of the Social Uplift Club. She first started dictating to Lawrence T e a 1 e when t h e y were working on the Petrolia hack in 37 . 2-4. Robert Catlin has become the real thing as barbers and hair dressers go. Here we have a scoop sna|i of him while giv- ing Basil Lottis a hair-washing. It may not he a permanent wave. ' )ut it looks as though it will h a permanent clean. 25. Lulu Beckman has just placed her star in stardom (and a big star, too). Last week Lulu made her debut as an actress in the production Lulu ' s Back in Town. 26. Just why could Efton Kel- ley be looking so downhearted? Betty Boughan, the shy young thing on the left, and Rosalie Haynes look as though they wouldn ' t mind helping him cheer up. 27. For the last ten years, Miss Mary Jeffers has been conduct- ing an extensive study into his- torical costumes. From her find- ings. Miss Jeffers creates her ex- clusive Jeffers styles which are now the rage in Paris. Here we have a preview of her latest cre- ation in hats. It contains an in- fluence from each period in his- tory. 2S. Miss Louise Robertson, now completely recovered from a very recent attack of Spring fever, is again roaming the mountains with her beloved herd of Angora goats. Even in her high school days. Louise had a very soft spot in her heart for goats. 29. Byron Kirkpatrick. is now one of our most famous G-Men. However, he should be more con- sistent in his disguise — silk hats and ragged whiskers don ' t mix. 30. Bill Gregg missed his train this morning. This is a tragic fact, since he is always so anx- ious to be up. ready, anil on time. 31. Here we have an action picture of Junior Jackson. The photo itself is uite good: but why should his nose be so high in the air. there are only tools in his pushcart? 32. What have we here? Noth- ing less than Bob DeWolfe teach- ing wile Maivella (Ireland) to play golf. Bob seems to be happy enough, but Marcella looks very thoughtful. Maybe she ' s thinking that the club would do more good over Bob ' s head. Or maybe she ' s trying to figure out the difference between a mashie and a potato masher. 33. Lawrence Teale is taking another of his frequent vaca- tions. He may be ill, but he looks comfortable enough. Note the territory he covers while stretched out in ease. That is the great disadvantage of having big feet, obviously they seem to re- quire a seat of their own. 34. Dorothy Smith was recently discovered in British Somaliland running a steam laundry. The process of steaming which Dor- othy uses is most unique. She soaks the garment in water, and then presses it dry with an ex- tremely hot iron. This evolves the steam. 35. Miss Erundina Ruiz is cam- paigning for the office of sheriff. Being a very determined Miss. Erundina speaks to the desert rats if she can ' t find anyone else to listen. The rats are rather per- plexed at her lack of the ' s . 36. Misses Alice Conn and June Berman at last have found their Utopia amid the many jars of creams, paints, powders, etc. of the Mummy Cosmetic Com- pany. 37. Myrtle Honsal got mad at the iron — or maybe she ' s just doing to it what she would have liked to have done to the electric chair at Mrs. Le Munyon ' s Jail- 38. Shipwrecked on an island with two adoring damsels, Betty Wood and Peggy Lahargoue, Eu- gene Hale, the renowned woman- hater, was at a loss as to what to do. Finally his energetic brain solved the weighty problem. Here we find him atop a palm tree try- ing to ' thumb ' a ride from a dis- tant boat. 39. Jack Chamberlain always was an energetic soul (we hope). He is now working up steam di- recting traffic at that busy inter- section Elm and Fifth Streets. The feet don ' t hurt. do they. 40. Now who ' d a Ihunk it! John Branson has really gone educational in a great big way. Page 14 The Petrolia June 1937 June 1937 The Petrolia Page 15 1947 Excerts Continued 41. Prohibition Jack Lacey refused a drink at the stag party of the Spit and Argue Club. The other boys are shown from left to right as Ed O ' Neil. Roy My- ers, Robert Kemp, and Dale John- son. Of course you realize that the boys never take anything stronger than ninety proof. This, however, is Ed ' s famous brand of power bouse fire water. One glass and you ' ll face any woman on earth. 42. Dale Greve always has been fond of fowl — foul tricks on his cousins, too. Here he is with his pet bantam biddie under his arm. W h en he milks. Dale squirts m ore mil k down the chicken ' s throat than into the bucket. 43. Sewell Peck (left) and Har- old Powell are pretty good fish- ermen — that is. when they fish. Here they are shown as they leave home, where their wives can see them. But just wait until they lilt a nice shady spot. Then off will come the fishing equip- ment, and down will go the boys to mother earth. 41. In spite of the fact that she is working hard. Gale Fultz looks rather wind-blown. 45.

Virginia Stalnaker is run- ning the late Bill Sunday a close second. She dashes around Ihe country living off of the fat of the hmd and a few of the inhabi- tants, too. Her most illustrious sermon is based upon the expres- sion Love thy neighbor — it seems she learned to practice this motto early in her senior year in the Coalinga High School. 47. Hold your seats, folks! It ' s only the first round of the daily matrimonial squabble between Frankie Chedester and his obedient spouse ]■; v a Carmi- chael.

Dot ' s first assignment was to referee the daily fights between her Cousin Jean a n d Lawrence Teale during fifth pe- riod drawing. During a recent championship bout, the fighters seemed to experience some diffi- culty in keeping their eyes off the ref . 52.

Seniors Present Noel Coward ' s Hay Fever Annual High School Senior Class Play Has Fine Cast Hay Fever by Noel Coward. was chosen as the annual senior play, and was presented May 28, 1937, at the Coalinga High School auditorium by members of the graduating class. Unlike most of Coward ' s plays. Hay Fever. a frivolous a n d frothy comedy, did not h a v e a hidden meaning. Judith Bliss, a self-conscious actress. David Bliss, a playwrite whose works were terrible, and Sorel. their daughter, composed a temperamental Bohemian fam- ily full of internal conflicts. The point of Eric Hon was reached when each member of the family. unknown to the others, invited a guest for tile week-end to en- joy the Japanese guest room. Up- mi arrival the guests were dis- mayed to tind that they had to Share the only two available rooms — the Japanese guest room and the basement. Complications set in when the guests tried to pair off. The host tried to pacify the crowd, but was unsuccessful in lus attempts. The next morn- ing trouble was still in the air, and during a raging family bat- tle, the guests quietly slipped away. For two months previous to the play. Myrtle Honsal gave the high school the jitters in her at- tempt to become a hysterical, temperamental Bohemian wom- an. The absent- mindedness of David Bliss was so well enacted by Jack Lacey thai he carried it over into the Latin class. Alice Conn, as the temperamen- tal Sorel. practiced her part any- where and everywhere. Betty Boughan as Myra Arundel, and Nellie Mabrey a s Jackie Croy- ton. wasted no time rehearsing during dramatics class, but screeched out their respective lines at any time they remember- ed them. Richard Chedester as Simon. Basil Loftis as Sandy Tyrell, and Allan MacLean as Richard Greatham, rehearsed their parts ONLY in the privacy of regular rehearsals. Selma Berman. the personal maid, didn ' t do much rehearsing, but beforehand she informed ev- eryone who would listen, just what she was going to do in the play. The production stall consisted of Harriet Taylor, director: Dor- othy Odell. assistant director: Ar- villa Cheney, property manager: Winifred McDowell and Erundina Ruiz, publicity managers. Page 18 The Petrolia June 1937 Senior Class Plays Hookie, Enjoys Picnic On the morning of May 6, at 6:30 o ' clock, while unsuspecting juniors and sophomores were still snuggled in their beds, approxi- mately 70 boisterous seniors met at the high school, decorated the classroom blackboards, and de- parted in a caravan of 15 cars for Mooney ' s Grove. Visalia, where they spent the annual Sen- ior Day (better known as ditch day ). Two-thirty brought the boating, playing, and picnicking to a lapse, and 70 dirty-faced seniors started homeward, where, aLer a noisy entrance to town, they began the celebration anew wth a refresh- ing splash in th - • chool plunge, followed by a v.ohht roast at the Community Picnic Grounds. When the sun had gone down, and afternoon fun had led into evening fun. the persistent se- niors i Mir liub ' d ihr,:: daj with i dance at the school; but by 9:30 they began to fag like wilted lil- ies and decided to terminate their thii teen-hour day of frolic. Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Ellestad and Miss Laura Lauritzen accompan- ied the merry group throughout the ilay. Senior attendance for the event was almost complete, but alas, Tartan Koonce, who had long looked forward to the big day, had such pleasant dreams of an ticipation the night before that he overslept, and awakened at noon with a start, real i vug that his dreaming would be he nea est he d come to his Senior Da;, eel- brdtion. Coalinga Alumni Return Home For Celebration May Day of 1937 was marked as one of the most festive and most enjoyable week-ends in the history of Coalinga, as the silver anniversary of the Coalinga Alumni Association was celebrat- ed in a home-coming reunion. The Reunion Banquet was held Saturday at 6:30 in the Masonic Temple. Approximately four hun- dred reservations were made for the dinner, half of them being made by former Coalingans who now reside elsewhere. The invitational dance, held at the Dreamland Hall after the ban- quet, proved to be one of the most successful Alumni dances, the gathering being both gay and touching as many old s c h o o 1 chums met for the first time since their graduation. Besides the dinner and dance Saturday ' s program included ten- nis on the new high school tennis courts, swimming in the new plunge, golf, and badminton. Scheduled for Sunday were many types of entertainment, in- cluding a community picnic spon- sored by the Chamber of Com- merce, a band concert by the high school band, and a fun-fest base- ball game between the oil super- intendents and merchants of Coal- inga. Since 1912 eight hundred sixty- four students have been graduat- ed from Coalinga High and the May Day affair was the first Alumni Reunion in the associa- tion ' s history. Senior Groups Stage Annual Steak Bakes GIRLS GO UP WARTHAN Senior girls cast their cares to the winds April 21. when they motored to the Standard Picnic Grounds to observe the annual Senior Girls ' Steak Bake. Activities of the afternoon con- sisted of swinging, skating, and playing baseball — sports in which everybody took a part. There were a few individuals, however, who unintentionally provided a great deal of amusement for the girls. Viola Zahn ' s prowess as a baseball catcher, Martha Schutte ' s and Calverna Linse ' s skill at skin- ning the cat, and Laura Laurit- zen ' s ability to swing a bat and hitch-hike home placed them all in line for positions in most any carnival or on the AU-American Alcalde Baseball League, when and if organized. BOYS ENJOY STEAKS Senior boys upheld tradition June 1, when they held their an- nual Senior Boys ' steak bake at the Polvadero Country Club. The boys met at the high school after school had been dis- missed and rode to the club In a school bus. There they found fire and food ready for them, a committee of boys having pre- pared them earlier in the after- noon. The facilities of the club were graciously made available for the fellows, who played golf and base- ball and went swimming in the club pool. This latter activity seemed to consume most of the boys ' time and was a source of much enjoyment. When the time came to eat. everyone was well able to enjoy the thick, juicy steaks and the potluck dinner. 0) fa ID .- £ §1 Of I ' niii, luc inn uutii ' i iricvu, who 1 ' lt sented and the students joined in Binding the old favorites. iS- Modern Poetry Two eyes have I Two eyes have you One nose have I One nose have you Are we twins? riod in Miss chosen her topicj World | for the maxes a spent roll] senior ess!

Lacey Serves Term As Prexv Student body activities ad- vanced during the 1936-37 term under the capable leadership of .lack Lacey, president. Other student body officers were Bill Ayers, vice-president; Gertrude Snyder, secretary; Dor- othy Montgomery, treasurer; .lack Chamberlain, business man- ager; Peggy Lahargoue, girls ' .11 leader; and James Bruce, boys ' yell leader. Among the outstanding proj- ects o£ the year were plans to institute a system of student con- trol and the purchase of a moving picture machine in conjunction with the J. C. student body. During the school term the student body supervised the soph- omore initiation, held a student body dance, sponsored the vari- ous athletic activities. brought distinguished speakers for the enjoyment of the students, and aided the dramatics classes fi- nancially to produce plays. Student Control Plan Proposed Student control was the is- sue on which argument waxed high throughout the year. In an effort to train students along the lines of democracy, the student council, under the supervision of Vice Principal T. A. Ellestad. formulated the plans for this new system of government; but, after they were read before the student body, arguments pro and con raged around the campus for approximately three months. Student control was on the tip of every tongue, yet no agreement could be reached as to its good or bad points. Students clung to the belief that such a system would be bound to break their intimate ties with friends anil cause hard feelings. Finally, the issue was put on the ballot with next year ' s student body officers, and was approved without police duty by tin- students. Council Okehs Student Plans Student body officers, presi- dents of the various school social organizations, class presidents, and class sergeants-at-arms com- prised the Student Council for the 1936-37 term, under the guid- ance of Vice Principal Ellestad. This council acted as the ad- ministrative department in stu- dent affairs. Passing its approval on student hills and projects was its principle duty. After such bills had met the satisfaction of this group, the more important of them were presented to the .stu- dent body. Problems which merited the entire student approval were the purchase of a moving picture ma- chine and the plans to institute a system of student control. The machine was secured to provide amusement tor the students as well as for educational purposes.

EXAMS W h e n Christmas vacation at last arrived, it was as welcome as is a much-anticipated birthday to a child. With the true yuletide spirit, Margaret A n n Ellestad, Agnes Falenzer. Wayne Harrold. Don Gilman, Lester Bell and Inez Dudney gleefully celebrated the rest from classes, almost forget- ting that mid-term examinations followed the holidays. When the students returned from their frol- ic to face the tests that the teach- ers had carefully prepared for them; they realized that you can ' t have your cake and eat it, too. DODGING CHALLENGES Quick dodging has been the motto of Fay Fultz, Mack Elwood and Lillian Hicks in the past year to avcid all challenges of mental supremacy thrown at the m by those students who have been trying to bring up their own grades. One student in particular who has been striving dil ' gently to ob- tain better grades if Halford Pel low. Clyde Spillman listened car- fuliy to Hi Isctures ias did all the sophomores), and took earn that all shots against the others were fair. But. he should remem- ber that. All ' s fair in love and war — and scholarship, too. At any rate the sophomores have worked hard throughout the year of 1936-37 so that the upper classmen would not consider their rating as 3 for 5c ' a n d leave them nut of things. % 5 for J? , Page 26 The Petrolia June 1937 BLUES RACES Sophomore students of Coalin- ga Union High School raced their troubles away during the spring semester at the thought that the final examinations would soon be over, and summer vaca- tion begun. Charles Reyner and Dorothy Lathrop are shown here sitting on the fence cheering while Walter McNeil, Manning Bogue, Vivian Dickinson, Grace R u c k e r, and Ruby Grooms race away their cares to the tune of Homework Blues . DANCING CLASS Spring on the Coalinga High School campus this year not only brought showers, low grades, and irritated teachers; but it was al- so an excellent opportunity for students with vim and vigor to display their various talents. Verna Hanst, who won a prize for the best dance at the Girls ' Athletic Association Frolic, was well-qualified to exhibit the latest dance creations to some of her intimate friends. Verna ' s performance occurred near a shady palm tree, while Morris Kabl. John Myers, Bill Chamberlain, and Bob Smith watched with awe and admira- tion. Mildred Page, Mattie Tris- dale, Aileen Mabrey, Barbara Hartsook, and Cherrie Tripp ob- served her every movement with the utmost attention in order that they might better develop their own poise and charm. MOTORING AND FISHING Bill Kirkpatrick, Gordon Mac- Lean, Ralph Whitener, and Lucille Harrison apparently took an easy ride through school on a borrow- ed motor boat. Vernal Phelps, who sat patient- ly on the bank fishing in the brook of knowledge, is still sitting, with not infrequent bites and nibbles. June 1937 The Petrolia Page 27 TENNIS LESSONS The boys of the Coalinga Union High School h a d an interclass tennis tournament during April at the local tennis courts; and the girls revived in ' erest in this in- vigorating sport. What the boys can do, we can too! declared the girls. As a re- sult a part of the masculine ele- ment of the school are now teach- ing the fairer sex how to bounce tennis balls.

PLAY DAYS Severe scoldings were admin- istered daily by Ruth LeMunyon, English teacher, for the express purpose of stopping Neoma Pep- per, Bill Champlin. Betty Polack. Wilbur Kendall. Earldine Cave- ner and John Callahan from slid- ing along from day to day with- out handing in their homework. On the teeter-totter of a r g u- ment were Juanita Guthrie and Bob Shea. Juanita ' s arguments for homework outweighed those of Bob ' s; so he spent the sopho- more year improving his mental capacity. Norma Fearon. Annabell Ire- land. John Bowers, Betty Patton. and Leroy Renwick sat quietly on the bench of school activities, awaiting their turn. Bill Kent. Betty Williamson. Raymond Parr. Mary Alley. John McCollum, Bonnie Fant. Earl Ba- ker, and Kenneth Rhoads were content to sit idly on the sand with their toys — not quite so ven- turesome as their playmates, yet they caused no trouble. £a£w£! Page 28 The Petrolia June 1937 CONSTRUCTION WORK Mid-term examinations swept like a snowstorm over an ever-un- prepared bunch ot sophomores, knocking the majority of the class into cold chills ot despair. Those few huskies who surviv- ed are now building as a monu- ment, a stately snowman of know- ledge and studious ambition (which will probably melt as soon as spring weather arrives). Eileen Braase and Fred Chaf- fin make the snowballs and carry them to Ruth Kitner and Ruthene Tune who pat t h e in into Mr. Snowman. Winford Tune seems to be mak- ing some sort of a monument of his own. BON VOYAGE Mrs. Ruth LeMunyon, sopho- more adviser, recently honored a group of sophomore students on the occasion of their graduation from Junior High English with a pleasure trip on her private yacht to the ' Land of Classical Litera- ture, and Grammar Fundamen- tals ' , where they plan to find if there be any truth in Dryden ' s words, Who climbs the grammar- tree, distinctly knows where noun and verb and participle grows. Among the students who were wished hon voyage as they em- barked on the Sophomore into he smooth sea of High School English were: Harry Burton, El- len Fleming. Rita Brown, Jim Switzer, Louise Whit e, Ernest Lay, Dolores Hatton, Louise Ty- ler, Camile Robinson. Leslie Mc- Kissick, June Pascoe, Clarence Vickery, and Virginia Shannon.

SOPHOMORE PICNIC Sophomores, accompanied by class advisers Ruth Le Munyon and John Adams, had a picnic at Los Gatos Canyon on Tuesday, May IS. Classes were dismissed at 2:30 p. m.. and the hilarious students, filling two school buses, began an enjoyable afternoon of fun and frolic. June 1937 The Petrolia Page 29 SWIMMERS IN THE SEA .lusi as the tides drift in and out, the students drift through the school year. Many arc drag- ged out l y the under-current while others rest peacefully on the sand. For we are all. like swimmers in the sea. Poised on the top of a huge wave of fale Which hangs uncertain to which side to fall. And whether it will heave u.s up to land. Or whether it will roll lis out to sea. Hack OUl to sea. to the deep waves id ' death, We know not. and no search will make us know; Only tin- event will teach us in its hour. ' This picture caught George La- cey, the swimmer, off guard. Mary Koda and Loree Vergon remain where there is little danger, and Howard Loesby is content to watch the tide from the distance. LIFE ' S VARIETY Participation of the Sopho- mores in the school social life of the past year may well be com- pared to t!-e three classes of ac- tivity in a plunge. .Margaret McBee, Louise Hun- ter, Frank Mechalis, Ann Alley, Jerry Taylor and M a r i e Sparf Were the live wiles wllO SWaill around in social life, playing a prominent part. Robert Mcintosh and a u n e s Hensley represented the scholars who sat on the edge of the plunge all year waiting for a shove of encouragement. They were too bashful to swim. Some of the more retiring stu- dents; namely. James Bruce. Mar- garet Good, Virginia Mabon, and Margate! Prenatt were content to remain in the background to bask in the brilliance of their com- rades. Doris Jones, who missed many of the events, finally gain- ed enough self-confidence to dive into the social whirl. Page 30 The Petrolia June 1937 Juniors Score New Heights In Efforts The Junior Class rose to new heights this year in sports, typ- ing, dramatic, oratory, operatic, and social activities. Both the boys and girls proved themselves champions of Inter- class Basketball. The typing students won the Interclass title to add to the achievements of the Juniors. In dramatics three or four mem- bers always headed the list for each play. They were represented in the Cantata, Follies and the Mikado with three, two, and four class- mates, respectively. In social doings the juniors ac- complished more than any o ' her class. They originated the idea of having regular noon dances in order to teach many eager pupils. A Karmel popcorn sale w a s held. And a swimming party was enjoyed. But the main event of the year was the Class Dinner Parly. The year was complete when the colorful farewell re- ception to the seniors was given. This completed the end of a successful year by a cooperative and progressive class. LOST AND FOUND 1936 Lost a good Sophomore Class. Junior Class Holds Grand Opening Junior Class members distin- I guished themselves on March 19 | when they held the grand opening I of the night club. El Emparra- do De Uvas, at the Social Hall. Students who had obtained res- ervations for the dinner dance, wended their way up the winding stairs, which were decorated as a grape arbor. After they had been met at a swinging ga e by the host, Neil Obert. and the host- ess, La Verne Spear, and bad pass- ed the hat-check girl, Mary Lou Abshier, the guests entered the hall decorated in keeping with the name El Emparrado De Uvas or the Grape Arbor. Willie , the head waiter, 1 e d them to one of the dimly candle- lighted tables placed in -a half circle around the dance floor. Mcst of the guests danced be- tween courses, and all were enter tained throughout the dinner by Ben Boreham ' s orchestra and sev- eral musical and dance numbers, introduced by Boh Becker, mas- ter of ceremonies. Little six-year old Shirley Shea tapped her way into the hearts of the guests when she danced to the tune of The Bowery. Jessie Hunter, a new member of the junior class, supplied a bit of novelty enter- tainment by an acrobatic dance. Dorothy Rector and Marie Lea- hy, two prominent soloists, each rendered two vocal selections. Juanita Guthrie a n d Ruthene Tune lent a touch of Mexican at- mosphere to the program when they danced the Jarahe Tapa- tio. the national Mexican dance. Jackie Boreham and Lucy Lay, dance partners, and Merilyn Johnston completed the program with tap dances. Latin Classes Revive Rome In Celebration 1937— Found a better Junior Class. Rome in all her glory was re- born four days after the Ides of November at the high school w h e n approximately sixty-five costumed students of past and present Latin classes were rais- ed from their Roma n graves ' where they had lain for 2,000 years, and partook in the events of a Roman Holiday. Master of ceremonies John Mc Collum, and Mary Alley, his noin- enclator. summoned the guests from the arena, where they had gathered, to the Roman banquet hall where their tombstone place- cards awaited them, and slave- waiters under the direction of Agnes Falenzer stood at atten- tion. During the course of the ban- quet, a program of speeches, so- los, and orations took place, aft- er which the guests retired to the arena for the gand march, games, songs, chariot races, and gladiator fights over which the Vestal Virgins presided. The outstanding costumes of the evening were worn by; Phyl- lis Kelly, a Roman maiden; Bob Scow and Willard Coutts, bar- barians; Farrell Stewart, a war- rior: Norma Hoag, the goddess Diana of the Chase; John Calla- han, a typical Roman senator; Jean Anderson. Grace Ann Gold- baum. and Marcia Arlett as the contestants for the golden apple granted by Paris. When the dinner was finished, most of the tables were removed and the rest of the evening was spent in dancing and card play- ing.

Junior Hi Has Active Routine The Junior High Student Body has had a regular business meet- ing on the third Tuesday of each month throughout the year. Fol- lowing each meeting was a pro- gram consisting of musical num- bers, readings, and short skits or plays. Numerous noon dances have been held in the Social Hall for the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades respectively. There were, as a rule, two dances per week, and an attempt was made to help those who wanted to learn to dance. On St. Valentine ' s Day parties were held for each of the class- es. The seventh grade had a par- ty and served refreshments. Student Body Officers were: Ar- loa Kidder, president; Anastnsia May. vice-president : succeeded by Corney O ' Neill; Bill Honsal, sec- retary: and Marie Hunt, treasur- er. Junior High Adopts New Poll System Coalinga Junior High School adopted a new system of elect- ing student body officer ' s this last year. Officers were elec ' ed at the end of the current year instead of at the opening of the en- suing fall term was the pre- vious practice. For several weeks before the election, students conduct- ed campaigns for the nomi- nees, candidates campaigned for themselves, and others ap- poin ' ed campaign managers. As a result of this new sys- tem, students learned the qual- ities of the candidates and were therefore influenced to- ward intelligent voting. Jr, Red Cross At Convention Tlrs year ' s junior hign school graduating cla was the large: I In ill.- history of the school li consisted of 127 graduates. Representatives of the Coalin- ga Junior Red Cross and their sponsors attended the annual con- vention of the Junior Red Cross at Tulare on May 1. Each sponsor spoke upon one of the following topics: planning of programs, and the organizing of councils. Students conducted open forum discussions pertaining to work in their own chapters for the past year. Those attending the convention from Coalinga were: Marie Rush- en, sponsor: Marie Arlett, presi- dent: Roberta Dunsmuir. Eunice Dewhirst. Bill D o d d, Merilyn Walker, Margie Bartels.

Man Jne Stan H Page 36 The Petrolia June 1937 Junior Hi To Study Health New health curricula are to be introduced into the various class- rooms of the Coalinga Junior High School at the beginning of the fall term. By this program students will become health conscious. Each person will be held responsible to see that no one, either in the classrooms or at home, has any contagious disease. Weekly investigations of the health habits of each student will be recorded on a chart to be kept in each classroom. Health habits on which the stu- dents will be checked are: num- ber of hours of sleep, daily bath, clean fingernails, clean handker- chiefs, care of hair, prope r diet, teeth, and study habits. Jr. Red Cross Keeps Motto With I serve as its motto: the local Junior Red Cross has completed a commendable year of service both at home and abroad. Friday of each week through- out the year was set aside for Penny Day on which day students donated pennies toward the Ju- nior Red Cross Fund. A part of this money was used to send Christmas boxes to the Island of Guam, and to send a gift of five dollars to the Wish-I-Ah Sanitor- ium. At Christmas a local poor fam- ily was presented with dinner, gifts, and clothing. Another service of the organi- zation was the conducting of a Home Accident Program. Drama Course Planned For Junior High Drama, a new course for junior high students, is to be introduced into the school curricula for the fall term of 1937. This class, under the direction of Miss Marie Rushen, will in- clude a discussion of drama, the early theaters, construction of model theaters, project proper- ties, stage managements, the art of make-up, and the fundamen- tals of theater acting. The acting will begin with short skits and gradually work into two-act plays. A large enrollment is expected for this class. The Origin Of Dishes By BOBBY HAYS Did you ever hear the story of how the woodpecker and the water.barrel cactus started a dish factory for the Indians? Well— it was like this: The woodpecker was looking for a place to build a cozy nest on the desert and he chose a wa- ter-barrel cactus for his purpose. He fixed the inside of his nest nice and firm with the cactus so that it wouldn ' t lose all the wa ter it had stored up for a dry season. Then the woodpeck er had a dry, warm p ' ace in which to raise his family. After the wood- pecker discarded his nest, an In- dian came along and cut out the woodpecker ' s nest so he had a vessel for food and drink. Such a fine desert factory should get something in return for it ' s fine work, as do the city factories. A Problem By BEATRICE PATTON May I ask you a question or two? Promise me you ' ll answer true. Why am I me, When you are you? I don ' t think it is fair, You only get one name and I get two. Why are we us? Can we be both us and we? That has always been a thing That has greatly puzzled me. Why are you a she or her, And you a him or he? Are both of you not people Just exactly like me? Kidder Serves As First Girl Prexy While Riding the Rails on Page 35, Don Wood slipped and fell. X marks the spot where his head should have been. A r 1 o a Ridder, 1935-36 Junior High School student body presi- dent, is the first girl in the his- tory of the school to serve a full term as president of the stu- dent body. Miss Ridder has set a mark as an all-around student and a cap- able leader. She has proved her- self to have a pleasing personal- ity and to be able to adapt her- self easily to her surroundings. She has had the cooperation and support of the entire student body in all her undertakings. Although there was some doubt at the time of election as to the ability of a girl to lead the stu- dent body through the term, Miss Ridder has dispelled this feeling decisively and has paved the way for future girl presidents.

Coal- ing again enlisted in the state- wide correspondence typing con- test on April 21. The sixty-three students, including ten ninth graders, did well that day and ful- filled Mr. (Jeer ' s plea for the best you have . Out of S2 schools entered in the state contest Coalinga came in third. Remarkably accurate records were made in the novice i first year) class. Kenneth Rhoads and Charles Petersen placed sixth and seventh with t) words per min- ute and one error. Wilma Sinnin- and Frames K r a f t (ninth grade) typed 41-1 and 40-1, re- spectively. For speed. June Pas- coe and Mary Alley came in sev- enth and eighth. In the amateur (second year) class, Leslie McKissick, Edith Macomber, Dorothy Montgomery and Tessie Hunter made 59-4, 56-2. 53-3 and 5 -3. respectively. There was a limited group of contestants in the unlimited (third yean class, but many good records were made. The best rec- ords were made by Louise Hal- low ay (80) and Evelyn Glenchur (76), who scored first and second place in speed. Although the students did not do so well as they had in the years before, they have nothing to fear from the contest returns yet to come. As Mr, Geer said. We may get the fifteenth place in a possible fifteen places and still feel no disgrace. for Coalinga ' s brilliant record will still shine. In the past fifteen county con- tests. Coalinga has won twelve victories, ten of these being con- secutive. She has driven under the Sacramento Valley Contest- ants for three years, and last year, in the first s ate-wide cor- respondence contest, she glided to the top place, surpassing six- ty-six schools all over California. What Miss Caroline Ames built as the foundation for these mar- velous victories has been carried on with equal success by Miss Mildred Elder. Coalinga may well be proud of this branch in com- mercial education. Page 38 The Petrolia June 1937 Top row: Jackson. Stephens, Whitei er. Henry, Boreham.

Boys Organize Rifle Club To Train For EuWs-Eye Skill Boys who were interested in developing their skill in the art of shooting met together during the past semester and formed the Rifle Clnh. under the sponsorship of Ollie Hardison and Vice Prin- cipal Ellestad. Officers chosen to represent the group for the semester were: president, Harold Koehler; vice- president, Caiease Bourdeau; ex ecutive officer, Cledith Bourdeau; secretary, Arlan Collins; treasur- er, Eugene Hale; and range offi- cer. James Switzer. Practices, to which both boys and girls were invited, were held at the high school rifle range iih:h- the baseball diamond on Saturday mornings. Interclass rifle shoots were al- so held to develop an interest in Science Club Organized By Local Group Science-minded students gath- ered together the second semes- ter of the year and under the sponsorship of Charles D. Buck, Physiology teacher, formed the Science Club. Following the first meeting on January 2S, meetings throughout the year were held every other Thursday night, and by February 11, the constitution had been drawn up and accept- ed. Officers elected for the year were: Junior Jackson, president; Jean Whitener. sccreary; Les Stephens, seargent-at-arms ; and by a revote, Ben Boreham w a s elected vice-pres ! dent, and Flos- sie Henry, treasurer. At each meeting a guest speak- er was present. Dr. Bryson Cox spoke on the circulation of blood; Superintendent C. L. Geer lec- tured on Geology; Jack Cook, ju- nior college student, spoke on the dissection of a cat; Ila Miller mathematics instructor, explained Isaac Newton ' s works. Harold Johnson, physics teach- er discussed a n d demonstrated some of the laws of physics: and V i c e Principal T. A. Ellestad spoke at the last formal meeting. On May 23, members of the club motored to Morro Bay to study sea animals and plant life. this new school sport. The club members realize that this sport is becoming universally popular and hope it will be continued dur- ing the future school years. June 1937 The Petrolia Page 39 Varsity C Clu!) Starts First Year Senior and junior hoys who had obtained block C ' s in school sports organized themselves into the Varsity ( ' Club, with their coach, Frank Heath, as adviser, in order Co promote an interest in athletics. [ntramu ' al activities, horse- shoes, tennis, and golf, were con- ducted by i lie 27 club members throughout the semester. These activities were superintended by members for the purpose of cre- ating interest in these minoi spirts in the high school stu- dents ' athletic curricula. Authority to enforce training rules en athletes was vested in the varsity club members. Leaders of the club for the school year were: president. Jack L a c e y ; vice-president, Cledilh Botirdeau; secretary, Edward O ' Neill; treasurer. Sewell Peck. CARNIVAL The Excalibur Club Carnival on April 23 was hailed as one of the ou ' standing social events of the year, as well as the most unusual. Included in the many attrac- tions were a roulette wheel, penny pitch, weight guessing, fishing, nail driving, and base- ball throw. The feature attraction was the sideshow . ' . blaring German band and a jitney dance lent music to the Carnival. As a reward for their efforts, the club members took a well- earned vacation to the coast. Excalibur Club Supplies Year Of Indispensible Service To School Since its founding in 1936 the Excalibur Club, better known as the Service Club, has been one of the most industrious organiza- tions in the school, its work in- cluding every type of service, as well as numerous social functions. The club was first formed with the purpose of promoting better Fellowship, citizenship, and lead- ership in the school; but the pro- gram has been extended to in- clude all types of services which no other group renders. The mem- bers have sold tickets for foot- hall and basketball games, pa- trolled the athletic held, ushered at plays and picture shows, spon- sored rallies, and have done a hundred other odd jobs which no one else cared to do. Membership in the club h a s been an honor, as only those who have high scholastic ratings, or those who are members of some team and possess good characters are allowed to belong. The members of the club may justly feel proud of themselves for the work they have done in living up to their motto: He who seeks lo serve ;i n o t h e r, best serves himself.

Henry, Proto Club Sets Social Pace Under Presidency of Cheney Protoans, under the presidency of Arvilla Cheney, and the spon- sorship of Helen Jardine and La- zelle Towle, added many events to the social calendar during the year of 1936-37. At the first meeting of the club, October 1, 1936, Arvilla Cheney was elected president ; Flossie Henry, vice-president; June Ber- man, secretary; Selma Berman, treasurer; and Cledith Bourdeau, sergeant-at-arms. The same offi- cers were reinstated for the sec- ond semester. Four dances were held through- out the year. The first was a sport dance, held on November 7. On December 11, club members gathered for a formal dance, with the Christmas spirit predominat- ing. In direct contrast the next dance, to which the student body was invited, was strictly a sport affair. The year of social events was completed on May 21 when the members attended the annual spring formal dance to bid the senior members adieu. Girls ' League Progress For Year Listed Members of the Girls ' League carried through a successful year under the sponsorship of Laura Lauritzen, Dean of Girls. With the cooperation of the first and second semester officers; Helen Dunsmuir, president; Mary Lou Abshier and Yvonne Hay, vice-presidents; Nellie Mabrey, Secretary-Treasurer; Yvonne Hay and Betty Boughan, Yell Leaders, the girls strove to live up to their creed: G — generous to others, I — intelligent in thinking, R — rev- erend to sacred things, L — loyal to home and to school, S — sin- cere in friendship, L — law abid ing. E — eager to serve, A — appre- ciative of beauty, G — great in pur- pose, U — unselfish in conduct, E — earnest toward life. To assist in providing for the unfortunate of the co m m u n i t y, noon dances were held to which the admission fee was a can of food. This food was distributed for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. On December 16th the girls met for a Christmas Party, and the spirit of the season was perfected with the gifcs and gen- eral cheer. A unique S n o w dance was held in conjunction with the boys ' Excalibur Club. Toward the close of the year, the president attended the Ideals Conference and returned with many new ideas and aims which she passed on for the betterment of the order.

Ai tin- beginning of the year e;i ch fireman is assigned to a post, for which he alone is re- sponsible. When an alarm sounds. he must get to this post as quick- ly as possible. Bach member lias charge of his own equipment, and it is part of his duty to see that it is kept in proper condition. If there is a fire near his post, he then uses the apparatus to the best of his ability. In conjunction with the Coal inga City Fire Department, the Fire Squad renders an important service to t h e community as a whole. Traffic Squad Protects Lives Of Community In the hands of the members of the Traffic Squad rest the im- portant responsibilities of pro- tection of life and the enforce- ment of traffic regulations. This group, with Dick Ayers as captain, has worked tirelessly in conjunction with the city traffic and police force to protect school children from all traffic dangers, to instill in the motorist a great- er respect for the right of the pedestian. and to enforce traffic regulations to the best of their ability. At the present time, when the ra ' e of automobile accidents is continually climbing, the serv- ce performed by these junior traffic officers is of the greatest value. Each officer on the squad is as- signed a school zone, over which he has complete authority. These zones are located at each of the two grammar schools and the high school. Numerous violators of the law are warned of their infringements by these officers, and more serious cases have been brought into court, the violators receiving due punishment. Besides their particular duties pertaining to the school the mem- bers of the squad have supple- mented the local police force at various parades, rallies, and oth- er public gatherings. CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS 1. Failure to obey the traffic laws. 1 . Failure to observe stop sig- nals and other warning signs. 3. Failure to practice highway courtesy. 4. Failure to give the correct driving signals. Page 42 The Petrolia J une 1937 Dnnmuir. S. Berman. McCollum, Scow, Hay. Lauritzen, insteoctor, Henry. Ayers. Mabrey, Johnson.

With this sacred setting, Night of Holy Memories was present- ed. Bill Ayers, Marie Leahy, and John McCollum were soloiss; Yvonne Hay. Bob Scow.

High School Paper, Derrick, Published Weekly By Students Due to the fact that the 1936-37 school year found Coal- inga High School with a shortage of teachers, journalism threatened to die out completely, until a group of students who were interested in seeing Coalinga High on the map of school activities formed a staff with Harold T. L. Frasier as their faculty adviser, and, through the courtesy of F. J. McCollum. A. James McCollum and H, M. Ma- son, publishers of the Coalinga Daily Record, issued the weekly edition of The Derrick on Wed- nesdays. The only two members of the staff who had bad previous ex- perience naturally assumed the positions of editor-in-chief (Erun- dina Ruiz i and city editor (June Berman i. Before publication could be at- tempted, the editor had to over- come the obstacle of educating the cub reporters; so, on Novem- ber IS, the first journalism meet- ing was officially opened by H. T. L. Frasier. and A. James McCol- lum. faculty adviser for the pre- vious year ' s Derrick Staff, gave a short introduction into the field of journalism, after which he turned over the remainder of the meeting to the group ' s leader for the purpose of teaching style and journalistic writing.

Board Improves School System Cooperation, u n d e r standing. and whole-hear. cd interest in the social and educational develop- ment of the Coalinga Union High School have characterized the en- deavors of the Board of Trustees during the 1936-37 school year. Among the outstanding im- provements to the school campus and to the community which the Board has made under the Presi- dency of E. M. Hanst were: the lighting of two of the new tennis courts and plans furthered to light all of them; the interest shown in the athletic department with the construction of the S00- capacity bleachers for the foot- ball and track field; the plans for the construction of a lighting system in order to make night football and track possible; and plans carried through for the ad dition of our local branch of the Fresno State College. A member expressed the senti- ment of the board in the follow- ing words: Continuous changes are everywhere seen in our edu- cational system because the raw material of life, as placed at our disposal, commends it. There is almost an infinite variety of choice and their wise selection depends on the house of life they shall build. The trustees expressed them- selves as being well satisfied with the efficient staff of teachers in the high school and the coopera- tion from Superintendent and Principal C. L. Geer, and Vice : Principal T. A. Ellestad. FICTURES OF BOARD PURCHASED Pictures of the past and pres- ent board members were pur- chased this year from the sweep- stakes fund, which the school won at the state fair, and were hung on the wall of the board room.

Coalinga Ties Fowler, Clovis For Division Champonship Two and two was the remarkable record scored by the Coalinga High School football team, the league baby. In two years of play Coach Frank Heath ' s squads lost only two games —one in 1936, an exhibition game with Lemoore, the other to Fowler in 1937, while winning lu and lining one. Coalinga stepped out of her class to play Lemoore, and. al- though defeated, she did much better than expected. Against Fowler, ihis year, Coalinga had much the stronger team and chalked up foul Brat downs while Fowler found it hard to muster six. In the second quarter, however, a Fow- ler half-hack got through for a sixty-yard run to a touchdown. Nobody knew then, and still no one k n o w s how he managed to gel away from Coalinga ' s lini and secondary. Riverdale and Caruthers Beaten On October 1 the Coalinga eleven opened its season by de- feating the Riverdale team s to 0. Coalinga scored on a safety and a line buck by Ed O ' Neill. Warming up for their first con- ference game, the local hoys de- li and Caruthers on October 9 by 26 to a. Powell scored on a reverse, then Brunson went 92 yards on two plays for another touchdown, and a few minutes later passed to Lacey for the third score. Bonrdeau and West- ern made the two conversions. First Conference Game Wallowing all over their op- ponents.

Lacey tries for a high FOOTBALL (Continued from Page 51) and the other two were by a pass from Engstrom to Cowan and an interception by O ' Neill. Bour- deau and Powell each made a conversion. Clovis Taken 14 to 13 Winning the second league game of the season, the local team continued its streak of vic- tories October 3. at Clovis. by trimming the strongest team which opposed Coalinga, 14 to 13. A great deal of the victory was cha- ged to Ed O ' Neill, whose punting got Coalinga out of every kind of a hole, and to Cledith Bourdeau, who booted the con- versions which saved Coalinga ' s neck. Both of Coalinga ' s scores were made on beautifully executed and deceptive passes. John Brunson was on the twirling end of both plays, Jerry Sagaser nabbing one and Jack Lacey the other. Both were completed in the end zone. Washington Union Defeated Brunson-to-Lacey passes again paved the way to victory for Coalinga. This time Washington Union was the victim, with Coal- inga winning 19 to 0. After a bad first half of the game, Brunson pitched two beau- tiful passes to Lacey, who gal- loped over the zero stripe for goals. In the fourth quarter, Bill Mouren intercepted a pass on the 50-yard line and sped goalward to the 15. from where O ' Neill went over after two tries, using Coach Frank Heath ' s new spread formation touchdown play. Bour- deau again toed the ball over the goal posts. Win Dad ' s Day Game On November 6, Kerman lost to Coalinga 12 to in their first appearance before the new 800 capacity bleachers, which were packed with Coalinga fans. The players ' Dads were guests of the student body. The two touchdowns were both scored in the third quarter, one on a pass from Brunson to Lacey and the other on an end run by O ' Neill from Coalinga ' s touch- down play. Fowler Spoils Record Friday, the thirteenth of No- vember, was bad news for Coal- inga ' s team for they lost to Fow- ler 6 to 0. This put Coalinga, Fowler, and Clovis in a three-way tie for the division title. A flip of the coin eliminated Fowler, and Coalinga and Clovis made arrangements to play for the title. At the last minute the C. I. F. committee reversed the decision of the County Commis- sion and Coalinga drew the lot entitling them to play for the valley title. But first Fowler had to beat the diminutive Laton team, winners of their division. Fowler lost and left Coalinga the champions without a title. Clovis Again Beaten Staking their chances of play- ing for the valley title on the out- come of the game, Coalinga de- feated Clovis 18 to 14. Brunson, Lacey and Mouren scored the touchdowns.

In their second game Clovis knocked Coalinga into a tie with Fowler tor the division title by sinking four free throws in the last two minutes of play to de- feat Coalinga by a one-point mar- gin of 23 to 22. Coalinga-Fowler Playoff Fowler High School won the playoff game with Coalinga on February 2: ' , in a battle royal for 1 lie Division Championship. Coal- inga actually won the game in the Brsl half, leading Fowler by a score of 26 to 14. hut in the id half Coalinga blew up like a ballOOD when I.acey and Bourdeau went out on fouls and finally l .-t 33 to 2. .. For the first time in several years the Coalinga High School produced a winning varsity basketball team. Coalinga ' s quintet defeated Fowler twice but split its series with both Kingsburg and Clovis, leaving it in a tie with Fowler for the division title. The H and C class squads, while losing all their games, developed some promis- ing material for 1938. Fowler Defeated Twice On January 21;. Coalinga de- fealed Fowler by a score of 24 to 22. Although the Coalinga five Fowler an early nine-point lead, it came through after a 13 10 1:: tje ;,i naif time to control I he game all the second half. The Coalinga quintet won from Fowler on February 9 by an even er margin, this time by the Score of 23 to 22. Coalinga led all the first half. but Fowler jumped into the lead at the re- cess to hold a 2-point edge at the end of the third quarter. In a breath-takingly exciting last quarter, the locals mustered five points and held the visitors to only two fie - throws.

Goivan And Gilman Lead Track Squads In Meets Coalinga track-men were fairly successful in their 1937 meets. They did not par with the squads of preceding years, hut since material for track was so hard lo find they did more than was ex- pected from them. The most outstanding stars of the season were: James Bruce, C class high jumper and sprinter; Donald Gilman, C class jumper and distance runner; Forrest Gowen, A class high and 1 o w hurdler; Francie Prindle. A class hurdler; Harold Koehler and James Switzer. high jumpers; Bill Ayers, broadjumper and sprinter, and Melvin Powell, broad juniper. Donald Gilman, however, was the most up-and-coming man of the bunch. In the King City Invitational Meet, he competed and won first place in the B class 440. Later at Lemoore he ran the A class 44(1 and took second place in a close sprint to the tape with the first Coalinga Nine Scores 5 And 2 The Coalinga High School base- ball team scored rat her low in the 1937 winning list, with five defeats and two victories. In its first game, with Kings- burg, Coalinga lost by a 9 to 6 margin, scoring two runs in the first, one in the third, and three ' n the ninth inning. On April 2, however, the Coal- inga nine scored a 5 to 3 win over Clovis High School. In this game both the Clovis pitcher and Jack Lacey, Coalinga winger, fanned eleven men. But Lacey allowed only two hits while Coal- inga made eight. Kerman High School defeated Coalinga in the closest ball game ever played by Coalinga High teams, by a score of 1 to 0. The only score of the game was in the eighth inning when Schwab- enland. the Kerman third sacker, smacked a beautiful three bag- ger and came home on an error by Ed O ' Neill, Coalinga catcher. Again Coalinga was defeated by Fowler on April 16. by a 10 to 5 score. But Coalinga finally won another game. This time the Coal- inga nine defeated Central by the fuzz off ' n their cheeks, with a score of 3 to 1. Reedley High School took Coalinga in an 11-inning tilt on April 22 by a score of 4 to 2. Coalinga lost its last game with Sanger on April 30, by the score of S to 3. place runner of Lemoore. At Selma he broke the county B Class 330 reco ' d by negotiating the dis ance in 3S.S. At Lemoore, Forrest Spec Gowen accounted for 12 of Coal- inga ' s 20 points with his running and hurdling. June 1937 The Pelrolia Page 55 — ■■I ' J.l- ] Scoreboard By SCOTTY Coalinga High School students hope that the superstition that mishaps c o m e three in a row holds true, for if it does, Coalinga might start with a clean slate in ' 38. Coalinga. in these last two years, has had three successive calamities in play-off games for titles. Last year Coalinga was flip- ped out of the Valley Champion- ship play-off; this year she was lipped out of the County Cham- pionship play-off; and again this year her basketball team slip- ped nut of the tille. At Fowler, the Coalinga eleven looked much the stronger team, rolling up 11 first downs while Fowler mustered six. Alter this game, our boys were as gloomy looking as a hunch of thoroughly dampened hens, [or thej thought that all hope for a county championship was gone. The coaches of the tie-up teams were called to Fresno by the County Foot hall Commission to war Swim Teams Enter Meets Coalinga ' s B class swimming team won first place in the valley swim meet of 1936 with a total of 3 8 points. Chedester took first in the 5 0-yard breast stroke, Johnson, Chedester, and Ayers first in the medley relay, Johnson sec- ond in the 50-yard back stroke, decide upon a plan to determine the winning team. They decided to flip a coin, and in this way. the odd team would be out of the play-off and the other two teams would play for the chance to meet Laton for the county title. They flipped and Fowler was the un- fortunate team. This plan was not approved by all three teams, however, so in order to try to satisfy all involv- ed, the Commission decided to let Fowler play Laton to deter- mine which division would send a representative team to the val- ley title playoff w i t b Dos Pal- os. Coalinga drew the lot to go on and represent the division. Hut Fowler lost to the diminutive Laton squad, and thereby cancel led Coalinga ' s chance in c h a m - pionship play. Gilman third and Murphy fourth in the 50-yard free style, Cham- plin third and Kirkpatrick fourth in the 220-yard free style, and Bruce third in diving. These men accounted for a total of 24 points and were all left for the swim- ming team of 1937. The county and valley meets for 1937 were held at Madera on May 22 and May 29. respectively. Since seven of those boys men- tioned above still remained in the H class, Coalinga did especially well in these two meets in the middle-weight division, and plac ed in several events in the A class.

Girls ' Swim Teams Make Showing; Valley Meet Held At Fowler Girls began the week of April 5 with a splash when they dusted off their water wings and donned the scanties of the swimming pool. For the first few weeks, the air was so nippy that oh ' s riods, was the routine followed and all ' s were heard as the girls submerged gently into the pool. Calverna Linse, girl ' s swim- ming instructor, was pleased at the turnout of many of her vet- eran swimmers and many new prospects. Among those who made the team and who competed in the county meet at Fowler last year were: Mary Lou Abshier, Velma Hanst, Verna Hanst, Winifred Mc- Dowell, and Helen Dunsmuir.

A chance that is equal with all in the strife. A courage to strive and to dare; And it 1 should win. let it be by the code. With my faith and my honor held high; And if I should lose, let me stand by the mad And cheer as the winners go by.

Distinction is given this organ- ization in that it is the one girls ' organization in which member- ship is obtained only by exten- sive effort put forth for a lengthy period of time. Out of the 224 members of the grades, only 1 13 belong to the G. A. A. This institution, under the guid- ance of Calverna Linse, physical education coach, and honorary faculty advisers Ruth LeMunyon and Twila Hanst, has not only created among the girls an inter- est for interclass competition in sports and a desire for fair play, but it has also been a great asset to clean social development among its members. A Christmas party, followed by various candy sales, and a St. Patrick ' s party filled in the first part of the social year. The two final affairs of the season, a gar- den dance given April 16, and the annual banquet, given May 21, were most remarkable for their completeness of theme and suc- cess. Officers of the club for the year were: Myrtle Honsal, president; Nellie Mabrey, vice-president; and Lucille Hicks, secretary-treasur- er. Officers elected for the incom- ing year are as follows: Velma Hanst, president: Mary Lou Ab- shier. vice-president ; Leslie Mc- Kissick, secretary; and Florine Jordan, treasurer. ruary. when the weather would not permit outdoor activities.
