TRUSTEES ROBERT I. TENNANT R. M. FARNSWARTH R. D. WESTFALI. President Clerk .... GEORGE SBLLMAN C. I. WESCOTT. IR. We Wish to extend our sincerest thanks to the trustees, Who through their never ending interests in education have made our years in high school pleasant and Worthwhile. PRINCIPAIJS MESSAGE GEORGE H. PENCE We need but listen to the radio or read the current news events to realize that we surely are at the cross roads of human affairs in this One World. The expression of nations in this crisis is just the reflection of the opinion and the life of the individual wherever he may be. lf the individual is selfish, thoughtless, cruel or prejudiced regarding' the opinions or the rights of others, then this attitude is reflected in the thinking of the community, the state and the nation. There is a real job to be done if we are to achieve world peace and happiness. That job is the responsibility of each one of us. Let us, in all humility, ask The Supreme Being for the strength, guidance and perception necessary to secure proper understanding and friendship with all peoples. Let us do this, realizing' that it is the only way to attain peace, harmony, love and happiness for ourselves and for others.

Let's turn back the pages four years-to the time when we were meager little Freshmen. Remember? iHow can we forget'?J It was the fall of '42 when we got our first glimpse of high school life. At the end of our first week at C. U. H. S. we were warmly welcomed by the Sophomore Class, with an unforgettable initiation, followed by the Freshmen Reception Dance, that night. Perhaps, our most outstanding activity of that year was the Fresh- men Assembly-a preview of the Gay Nineties, under the direction of our class advisors, Mrs. Stanley and Coach Glasgow. Then came '43-accompanied by a promotion in rank-Sophomoresl We were now beginning to feel that we were a part of the school. One part was the honor of initiating the green Freshmen. QOh, sweet revenge!! Accompanying this promotion was something which we soon discovered was a part of school-homework! Some students never managed to get in the Honor Society. iIsn't it wonderful what older brothers and sisters can do for you?J At last, in '44-we were upper-classmenw Juniors! Now came a big responsibility-the production of the Junior Play. Under the direction of our new advisor Mrs. Lange, who had replaced Mrs. Stanley when she was transferred, we presented an outstanding performance, The Fighting Littles, starring Alma Baker. In January of that year Louie Ferraiuolo left to join the Navy and at the end of the year Logan Ash also donned the bell bottomed trousers. We really missed you fellas, '45-'46! Our last year of high school, and we could hardly believe it-we were Seniors-those great and all-mighty Seniors! Out of this class came two football stars, Ted Scott, Captain and Kerch Mayberry, right half back. Also, we con- tributed an outstanding student leader in our Student Body President, Joe Erisey. The thrill of the Senior year was the annual Senior Sneak Day-a day when we supposedly go to some spot unknown by our fellow students. fWe tried anyway!J Accompanied by Coach and our new advisor, Mrs. King fdon't get the impression that our advisors couldn't stand us- let's just mark it up to fate, for all our replace- mentsj we had a really memorable day. Baccalaureate services had a sobering effect on us, for we were again warned of the new responsiblities that were not too far away. We began to realize that high school would soon be a closed Chapter in our lives. Senior week-the week when we could do anything we wanted-no more school! The girls were busy preparing for the coming graduation: the boys-well, they were generally having a good time doing nothing. fNed Genise really had a thriving business that weekly The great day finally arrived--graduation day! We were confident of ourselves, after all the practicing, but once on the stage, we began to feel slightly nervous. As we walked down the aisle, diploma in hand, with tears in our eyes, and hearts full of memories, we realized that our high school days were over-so ends the class history of '46. u T CLASS WILL I, Admiral Logan Ash, will my ability to scrub the decks of the U.

Many of the girls and boys of our class went out for after-school sports.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE This year as in years past the Ex, Committee attended to the usual business of grranting concessions, approving assemblies, assigning dances, and the other everyday activities. Aside from these everyday Dl'0C9flUl'L'S they put on a very fine Snow Ball :ind sent members to represent our school at the older boys conference at Davis, at which Joe Erisey presided, and to the older girls conference at RlL'l131'dS0lllS Springs where Lorraine Heard planned, and presided at, the breakfast. The Ex. Committee also went to Chico to attend a student leaders conference. This year the Ex. Committee was ably headed by Student Body President Joe lflrisey, who, I think, deserves our appreciation for the swell job he has done in the way of fulfilling the responsibility of the job by running the school activities, as it was in his power to do, very well.

The fact isAsad but true-that they can takc only a vt-ry small part of the credit. It is thc staff who puts out thc Colus with thc invaluablc assistance ol' their advisor, Mrs. Langzc. During the year thc staff demonstrated an amazing: aptitude for conceiving: ways and moans of transferring sums of money from numerous pockets into thc Colus fund. On Dt-ccmber 7, a Colus Show was presented that brought much acclaim from all who crowded the auditorium. It also brought an incrcasc of 96200, less tax, to thc Colus resources. The following' wcck Colus salcs bcgran and by the second week in January a large pvrccnt of thc Student Body had madc purchases. The cry of Ulleady, now, everybody, became a familiar sound when Mr. Watson camo to photograph thc beaming faces of our fellow students. By March 15 all the copy and cuts wore safely at the printers and the staff took its final fling when they put on an outstanding Colus Carnival on April 5. The success of thc Colus is due to the wholehearted cooperation of thc staff and thc cditor wishes to express her sincorcst thanks to all those who participated in its publication.

As usual, the first term was taken up mainly by elementary drill, but the rifle range was completed in December and after the rifles arrived each squad took turns at firing. There was also a 1'ifle match between teams from each squad to provide a little practice in competition. At the time of writing plans are under way for the annual bivouac to be held some- time in April, and the Cadet Field Night for the middle of May. This thi1'd year of the Cadets existance in Colusa High has been entirely successful and it is hoped that in the future the veterans of Co. H will have happy memories of their hitch in the Cadets.

JUNIOR PLAY FOUR DAUGHTERSU or LOVE THY SISTER The curtain went up. It was a wonderful night, March 8, the time 8:00 P.M. There was a hush throughout the audience, nervousness prevailed among the cast fas on any opening nightl. The actors on the stage began to speak, softly at first and then louder as they were more sure of themselves. After the curtain had gone down on the first act and the applause had died away the cast knew they were a success. During the intermission of the second and third acts a present and an orchid were awarded to Mrs, Lange, the director, for all the work she put into the play, and she certainly deserved it. QThey should have given her the D.S.C.J. The play practices and rehearsals were funfand work. There were times when everyone felt like giving up because no one knew their parts Qthis was most of the timej. But every one pulled through very well with no bad after affectsfnot many anyway. The story was laid in a small town much like our own, called Briarwood. In Briar- wood is a Music Foundation where Adam Lemp, the father of four pretty, talented daughters, is the Dean. Everything in the Lemp home ran smoothly until a young musician named Felix Deitz moved in. All the girls immediately fell for Felix, Among the laughter and tears everything turns out for the best in the end Qas all good stories shouldl and the finis of the play finds: Thea married to Ben and in love with him at lastf Kay in Philadelphia studying music and singing on the radio Emma married to Ernest and not picturing life without him Ann and Felix back togethereand swinging on the squeaky gate us the curtain BARBARA BETTERTON goes down.

This Is America, the theme, was depicted in scenes from typical American Life such as The Corner Drug Store starring' the teen age crowd, The Cowboys on the moonlit prairie and The Darkiesu singing on the banks of some southern river.

Wx .VU 'ff BOYS' SPORTS The challenge to overcome the no score, no win jinx, was the challenge to every boy who took on the task of playing football for Colusa High in 1945. For this job, there were 45 appli- cants, who with fixed determination and plenty of fight, proved it could be done. A somewhat disorganized team, whipped into shape by Coach B. Glasgow's untiring efforts, began to roll. Opening up with new single-wing plays, the Redskins fought hard until they had penetrated enemy territory and crossed the goal- line. Settling down and playing winning offensive and defensive football, the Reds netted a strong third place in league standing when they de- feated Gridley 27-0 and Corning 14-0. Once more the tide changed, this time for the worse, as basketball came into the picture. This season the B's ran off with the honors, followed by a disastrously defeated A string. The A's took a beating that will mar their record for some time. All of their games were defeats. Yes, some were close but yet defeats. As one player honestly said, We had good coach- ing, plenty of practice, but lacked the spirit and fight to come through on top. Our B's were, no doubt, the fightingest team on the floor. With action-crammed games the fellows displayed the important factor needed to win a game-teamwork. Their efforts were not in vain, since they caged 2nd place in the league, which was well deserved, BASKETBALL A TEAM Putting in a plug for Mr. Wilkinson's C's is easy. These little fellows were the center of attraction many times because of their tricky playing. If the fellows keep up their good playing, Colusa will have a good B squad next year. After the hardships of basketball a total of 30 boys turned out to try their skill at baseball. Almost all of last years va1'sity men were on hand, making this look like a very promising season. The interest in track is steadily increasing with quite a few new men reporting for training. As yet there has been no word of an interschool meet, but if there is or are any, our boys will be ready. Tennis has caught the eye of a few Freshmen and Sophomores. Some look promising and with Mr. Newman as an instructor, should develop into pretty good players. If this happens, the letter men will have tough competition and will have to be on their toes to stave off the new comers. By participating in sports, a high school boy or girl has taken a step toward the development of a good American. Losing a game is just as important as winning it, because in later life there will be many contests which will not always be victorious. Learning to be a good loser as well as a good winner will develop you and me into being the better citizen of tomorrow. That is why there cannot and will not be a drop in high school sports.

Two hours after the starting whistle the town of Colusa was in an uproarg the Redskins had finally won a foot- ball game 27 to O! The following' Friday history repeated itself. Colusa, after waging a terrific mud fight with the Corning Turkeyherders, came out on the long end of a 14 to 0 score. Although the '45 Redskin team started out slow they really finished the season with a hang. It was a real honor to have been elected captain by this team, because this team was out to do some good this year, and they really proved themselves. T IC D SCOTT A BASKETBALL Q ,.

The Girls' Athletic Association of Volusa lligh started three new things this year. First of all they played a volleyball game with Williams. The girls have not played games with another town for some years. This was a purely social game with refresh- ments served to both teams afterwards. Colusa won one game and Williams the other. Second, at the annual Girls' llate Dance the GAA. elected a King, t'lyde Wheeler. His attendants were Ted Scott and Lloyd Westphal. The gym was decorated for the dance in a kiddie-land theme. Mary Lou Hathbun was in charge of decorations and showed her ingenuity by having the bandstand built on the middle ot' the floor. The third new idea was the purchasing of G.A.A. sweaters just like the lilock t ' Y sweaters only in white with red stripes. In the way of making money the G.A.A. made pom poms to sell for football games and had the concession tor the Orland basketball game. The following sports were played in their proper seasons for after school sports: Volleyball under the management of lilsie Westfallg basketball under Peggy Skinner: tumbling under Barbara Guilianig badminton under Vivian Guild: and archery, tennis, baseball and swimming.
