Their first gala event was a Christmas party, complete with tree, presents, Santa, and holiday goodwill O Feeding the fish was averted this year because the annual beach party and initiation of new teachers has been discontinued for the duration. i i ELNER MARTIN McDANlEL WAL'TER B.

Mrs. W. J. Barnhill was elected president; Miss Vivienne Mosher vice-presi- dent; and Mrs. W. H. Brown, second vice- president. Taking charge of the minutes and money were Mrs. J. F. Jones and Mrs. J. W. Kerwin, respectively. Mr. Donald H. McIn- tosh was elected parliamentarian while Mrs. Hope Fahsholtz occupied the position of historian.

'The other years merely a pattern of joyous memories climaxed in a successful finale led by Gordon Oliver, capable senior class president. After Bob Sim as vice- president; Barbara Smith, secretary; and Alfreda Huffaker, treas- urer; thoroughly discussed Gordon's plans and ideas, the senior VI council consisting of Dick Hodge, Jackie Deneen, Jack Cook, C Beverly Mashburn, and Richard McCobb, were selected to aid the class officers 0 When our elected representatives had done e$erything to the best of their ability, the class sponsors, Miss Edna C. Battin and Mr. George I. Newman, stepped in to straight- en out any remaining difficulties.

Pictures of ourselves thoroughly decorated loom in our memories as though they occurred yesterday. Even Mr. Lawrence, co-sponsor with Miss Battin that year, was not immun- ized against the ravages of the enthusiastic sophies 0 We soon came out of our daze, with Richard McCobb, Harold Bailey, and Chuck Hubbs supplying the sports ability; and Loreen Lower and Roy Gould furnishing the brains 0 After passing from the attic in the auditorium into the more desirable sophomore section, we were feeling the usual sophomore cockiness. Since we couldn,t obtain revenge on those who had initiated us the year before, we attacked the unseasoned frosh with a vengeance. The wind was soon taken out of our sails by the lowly freshmen, however, who defeated us at the Football Rally.

Wendall was the first sophomore in local history to attain this honor. Dorothy Archibald teamed with Wendall in debate contests and made many a debate team quake in their boots 0 Entering the uupper-classman bracket in the fall of forty-two, marked by increasing intellectual maturity and social poise, we did our bit toward promoting a successful year. At the senior breakfast, draftees from our junior class served and put on a program for our graduating elders. The theme followed was HThe Nineties Were Gay, and many a senior was glad to be alive in the forty-three,s after seeing a silhouette version of Frankie and Johnny 0 Each year an honor guard is chosen from the junior class to escort the seniors down the last high school mile. Juniors rating the highest scholastically are selected. Those of us who made up the honor guard for the graduating class of forty-three were Reva Rowley, Carol East, Helen Starr, Wendall Lansing, Bob Young and Fabian Stanton.

In an obstacle race at the Foot- ball Rally we outjumped and outsmarted the juniors. We were quite elated over the victory, because it was the first time in four years that our class had been able to beg, borrow, or steal top honors at this event 0 Many unsuspected ambitions and char- acteristics were brought to the fore on Senior Dress-Up Day, with strange, weird and comical figures roaming the campus. Representative of the strange element was Wally McIntosh, who was dressed as a typical iidark town Romeo; while in the weird conglomeration appeared Hazel Jackson as a walking mummy. In the comical aspect was Emrick Chaplin Webb. Among the interesting couples who broke loose were Jack iiRastus Cook and Bette Mandy Jones 0 Outstanding journalists of the year were those who gained admittance to the Quill and Scroll at the end of last year. Members of the International Society of High School Journalists were Reva Rowley, Pepper Bough Editor and president; Dorothy Polhemus, Carol East, Crimson and Cold Ed- itor; Barbara Huddleston, Gordon Oliver, Emrick Webb, and Bob Young.

When the lineups for our football games came in, we noticed Bud Cross' name absent from the roster. Bud was voted captain-elect at the close of the preceding season, and he was missed greatly by the Colton gridsters. Fabian Stanton enrolled with us, but left for the Army Air Corps at the end of the first semester. Fabian was a member of the Student Council and supervised the sale of stamps and bonds while he was here 0 The most memorable event of the year except for the Hdiploma jamboreef' was the Junior-Senior Prom. The lights were low but not too low, the music was hot but not too hot, and the upper- classmen danced together for the last time as a part of the high school sudent body 0 We can now look back and recognize youthful follies, and at the same time feel pride in the accom- plishments of all those things on which we worked, and played, and laughed together.

These are certainly not famous lines, but true ones. John K. Cherry as class president, was chosen to guide his fellow juniors from the twisted channels of Iower-classmanship into a broad upper-class expansion, with next in command, Vice-President Barry Koch. The crew, consisting of secretary, Fanny May Bradley; treasurer, Cherry Brickey; program chairman, Terry Harrell; and council representative, June May; transported a star-studded passenger group to fame and glory from the field of sports to the stage and Iimelights 0 To make the journey successful, they had the sound sponsorship of Mrs. Helen S. Borrego and Mr. William Hawkinson O This eventful voyage began when Bob Alyarez, Bill Greer, Les Brower, Joe Donnelly, Norman Galloway, and John Greenwood blazed a fiery trailx'dn'the gridiron 0 Following in the ships log, came the junior-sponsored Christmas dance, and then basketball season, well-supported by Henry Carlos and Art Preece 0 The junior class play, HLadies of the Jury, fUrrTjshed hilarious entertainment, and brought out the dramatic ability of Bill Sharp and Elaine May, two out- standing players in the large cast 0 There was clear sailing through the track season with John Cherry, Barry Koch, Bill Macias, and Bob Alvarez trodding down the cinder path 0 Milan Brown and Les Brower glittered on the baseball nine, while Bill Sharp backboned the tennis squad 0 Betty Brown, Andre Tomatis, Sally Reyman, Patsy Parmer, Joe Youngquist, Henry Kaiser, Mondola Sherrill, and John Cherry averaged HA3 and HB's and were elated to find themselves in the Scholarship Society 0 So ending a highly eventful year, the junior class dock their ship to prepare for their final trip in the spark- ling sea of high school life.

A busy year,-for everything seemed new and fun. Sophisticated upperclassmen viewed their eagerness and naivete with apparent amusement; though they remembered a little wist- fully that they too were freshmen once 0 From the large class of probable leaders, Bill Stokes was popularly elected president. Supported by his officers Mary Jane Bell, vice-president; Sally Foran, secre- tary; Barbara Valizan, treasurer; Guy Kraft, student representative; and guided by sponsors, Miss Elizabeth Watson and Mr. Bruce Wallace, Bill was only able to complete a semesteris work. Early in K083: February, the freshman class lost their president to the United States Navy. A new election placed hnore. Mary Jane in Billls place, and Ernest Hubbs in the vice-presidency O Freshmen names began to receive Nhite. deserved recognition in all phases of school life. Viola Burns and Pauline May represented the girls of B. Ale their class on the Girls League council O The Scholarship society claimed for its own, Mary Jane Bell, v35 Helen Kaiser, Sally Foran, Guy Kraft, Emily Youngquist, Beverly Hollingsworth, Robert Chesworth, rough' Marjorie Wobser, Loretta Grim, Bill McGrath, and Bob Barrows, while talented Emily Youngquist, have; Burton Oliver, Jesus Carreon, Sylvia Brower, and Mary Anne Cloherty, graced the music department 0 For the first time in nine years, two freshmen, Don Fister and Dick Espinosa, lettered on the varsity football string. A dynamic threesome, Ernest Hubbs, David Swing, and Jack Deal, won recognition on the basketball court; while Pete Macias, Lew Wilson, Darrell Brummier, and Benton Williams kicked up the turf in track, with gratifying results.

Thus ended the fantastic and laughable adventures of Hank Bennett, iiA Connecticut Yankee in King Arthuris Court 0 Definitely a success, the play, directed by Miss Vivienne Mosher, originated from Mark Twain's humorous account of a young twentieth century engineer who awoke to find himself in the realm of King Arthur iFred Strahmi and Queen CueneveretJoanne Cumisekyi O 'The court was startled to find this queer creature in their midst, and concluded that the most logical way of getting rid of him was to pronounce the death sentence, but Hank iJack Deneeni performed several miracles and it was decided that to dispose of such a man would be sheer folly O Aided by two loyal triends,Ciarence tDick Anstinei and Elaine tJoyce Carsoni, Hank succeeded in turning the court into a scene of twentieth century activity, while at the same time he fell hopelessly in love with his secretary, Sandy iMarilyn Alleni 0 Meanwhile, the villain, Merlin iCordon Haini, and his accomplice, Queen Morgan La Fay iPhyllis Barnhilli, were weaving all their evil magic into plans to bring the Connecticut Yankee to his downfaIl.

Mrs. Mc- Daniel propels us gently to the door and firmly tells us she has annual material to get out 0 OPENING THE COMMERCIAL ROOM door we hear the drone of voices combined with the chattering of a typewriter.

Through the noise and confusion of informality the commanding voice of Mrs. Christina D. Beeson, adviser, is heard correcting a humorous mistake or instructing an eager newshound O Nimbly stretch- ing their many-leagued boots across the campus to touch the vibrating heartbeats of school life, the deadliners thrill to the exacting task of tracing the intricate news threads.

Al- though finishing with somewhat below- par record with Redlands, Riverside, and Pomona handing Colton some bitter defeats, the Yellowjacket five managed to hit the hoop to the tune of two straight wins over their ever-traditional rivals, the San Bernardino Cardinals 0 Numerous tilts with schools not in the Citrus Belt League put the boys in shape, but failed to insert a winning spark into a fairly green squad 0 Art Preece, Henry Carlos, Cordon iiSpideri' Hain, Dan Corona, Simon Martinez, Bob Henderson, Trini Rivera, Bob Al- varez, Don Fister, and Bob Hemphill met all official requirements for letter awards, while Hain received extra rec- ognition of a star for his services as captain of the squad 0 Mr. Walter B.

Coached by Mr. Walter B. Middleton, the 8,5 had a highly successful season, winning the majority of their games and tying with San Bernardino and Po- mona as co-holders of the league championship 0 Hugh Hashe missed only one quarter during the en- tire season, while Dave Swing played all but four.

But the mayor is not the only man on the field as everyone soon learns. Bob Henderson, the other co-captain, is a leading hitter, in addition to being one of the best first basemen in this part of the country. Henderson can also pitch a ball game that equals any other pitcher's record in the Citrus Belt League 0 Rounding out a well balanced infield are Rudy Alba, a smooth working second baseman; Bruce Neely, a hard working third baseman; and Chuck Hubbs, the steady hitting and smooth fielding short stop. In the outfield is little Jack Cook, who can play right field with the best of them. Milan Brown, Dick Price, and Tom Hainsworth are the other out- fielders O Accenting a successful season, coached by Ralph Adams, the Pomona 20-30 tournament sent the Yellowjackets to the finals, only to lose to Pasadena J.C. 0 'To the date of publication, all but one rival was trounced, ending a spectacular year for the local baseballers.

Only two returning lettermen, plus a gang of green players totaled a weak but aggressive squad. The Jackets had one ace up their sleeve in a first singles man, Bill Sharp. With past experience in several amateur tennis tournaments, Sharp settled in Colton during his sophomore year and immediately began building a name for himself in the tennis world 0 The team's captain, Melbourne Burrow, and Dick Anstine paired together to bat the ball across the net in first doubles. George Newman, in his role as acting coach, helped to improve choppy serves and rough backhands 0 WITH A SWISH of the racket and several high pitched squeals, the girls, as well as the boys; revived a depleted tennis team. The renewal of the girls' trophy, on which is engraved the name of the top tennis maid of the season, was the inspiration for these aspiring net stars. Under the watchful eye of Virginia Roberts and Verna Simmons, matches were played to determine positions on the ladder. TENNIS: Standing. S. Lash, C. Oliver, M. Rivas, B. Brown, S. Sinclair, J.

COOPERATIVE STUDENT STORE 1191 Speaking of Happiness.... . . . Do you mind if I reminisce a little on such things as working with my staff, getting the first copy from the printers, and watching a real book evolve from only an idea? . . . Weive been through a lot together, havenlt we, Mrs. Beeson, but when things got too tough there was always the iispark of geniusn we operated jointly to come to our rescue . . . I remember how you stayed so calm when every- one else was jumping up and down tearing their hair, how your enthusiasm was always so contagious that you made everyone else thrilled in spite of themselves . . . I can see you, Huddleston, buried in the Thesaurus diligently searching for a word for iilaughterii or llfun . . . Polhemus, looking at Vogue and Mademoiselle with one eye, using the other to write your story on teachers . . . Reva, your smile crinkling at the corners, inviting the opportunity to joke at something . . . Dodson, the Special glance you saved for me each time I had you retype senior identifications . . . Chuck, you always seemed to be stuck with stories that hadn,t happened yet . . . and Doc, handing in your first copy, muttering ilitis shot and watching for reactions, or hopefully prodding Emrick on to new and better things such as the spectacular cover design which was eventually produced by the two of you . . . Mrs. McDaniel, I guess youlre destined to remain in my memory as a figure balanced on top of a tottering step ladder-a patient person who sent us prints, remarking emphatically that uthese are not the final proofs,, and giving us the best pictures a Crimson and Cold has ever had. . . Wilma, I can see you and Concha involved in strands of rubber cement, or in a huddle with the camera, trying to make your subjects keep their eyes open long enough for you to take a picture . . . Alice, you sat by the window in the art room, sketching or planning division pages . . . And Wally, you saved our necks when you lived in the dark room for almost half of spring vacation . . . For all of our uncertainties, we were sure of one thing, that the business end was in good hands--that you, Miss High, with your genius for attending to details, would see that everything was done quickly and efficiently . . . that somehow, Barbara Wobser, you would emerge from the rows of numbers, stacks of mOney, mysterious figures and percentages, to tell us what was spent how and why . . . that Hazel in your many meanderings through the halls and over the campus, would waylay enough prospective annual buyers to reach our quota . . . and that Barbara Jean and the two loyces would somehow sell the merchants on the idea of a pictorial ad section . . . Mr. Cannicott, I will never forget you, leaving your domain at the Engraving Company, standing in the doorway, hat in hand plus a knowing grin on your face, telling us how much fun it would be to deliver annuals in the summer, yet always ready to help us with the layout or make those subtle humorous suggestions . . . And then the illusive, unseen gentleman, the printer . . . you were a rather vague creation in our imagina- tion who stayed up nights and lived on black coffee to print our book when it would have been much more profitable for you to drop the whole thing and settle for a few nights sleep . . . I could thank you all, as I do, but I think the book will thank you more. Your Editor D.
