We were the largest class at that time, larger than most of the incoming beginner's classes. Our first President was Elmo Teal. Miss Doud was our first class advisor. Under Elmo's rule, we started out We many of our members going out for scholarship, athletics, and musical activities. The next year, our Sophomore President was Kenneth Hawley. Of course, this year we were just at the age when we gloried in tormenting the life out of poor Freshmen. Some of the boys who went out for athletics this year were Bud Bankhead, Jack Morgan, Aubra Calhoun, Jim Roberts, Elmo Teal, James Hadley, Kenneth Hawley, and others. Several of our members were in the operetta, nMiss Cherry Blossomn, presented under the supervision of Miss Alice Schafer. As Juniors, we elected Mable Knowles for our leader and Mr. Hoar to advise us. We were well-represented in student-body activities. Norma Close and Kenneth Hawley had the leads for the annual Junior Play. l Although we lost the first debate to the Seniors, we won the second and third. Toward the last of the year, We gave the annual spring Junior-Senior affair. Now we have reached the goal for which we have strived all these years, for we are Seniors. The main basketball team was composed of Seniorsg many of the boys went out for football, baseball, and tennis. Several of our members had leading parts in the Operetta as well as chorus parts. As a progressive step in our history, this year we introduced the new non-decisional debates, which are being used in the best schools and colleges. And now we are looking forward with eagerness to the future, for some are planning to go to college, and others are planning to go forward along various other lines of work, but we know that these members will try to live up to the standards and ideals which they learned in High School. THE SLIP To the office I must go, And my heart is sinking low. Why from Gym did I skip? New to the office for a slip. My heart is sinking very low, For instinctively I know My fate is hanging by a thread-- But why should I feel all this dread? When to classes I shall stroll, And the bell sweetly tollsg I shall take my blue slip. Never again will I skip. --Annie B.

SENIOR CLASS Witnesses: .... , QQY4-'gf,,,g,, Pr sident L rf -ag1f1w41! f all I I IDHQOPHHZCY Last night as I went to bed I was thinking of the good old days back in 1951 with all of my classmates. I fell asleep thinking of them and how I was liking the trip I was taking in a large airplane. We stopped for fuel at an airport and the mechanic came out to look over the plane. His face looked sort of familiar and soon I recognized him as Jack Morgan, one of my class-mates. We talked for a few minutes and he told me that Aubra Calhoun was a Physics teacher at the high school there in New York City. He also told me that an airplane had flown over that day and the pilot was none other than Joseph Babb. I was greatly surprised at this and as the airplane was ready to go, we flew away. The plane stopped at Buffalo, there I took the stage. As I got into the stage and sat down I began to feel the effects of the long strenuous ride, so I decided to get some sleep. Just as I was drowsing off to sleep, I heard a baby squalling in my ear. I was very disgusted at having my nap disturbed so I looked around in the direction of the noise and saw two faces that certainly looked familiar. Soon the young man called me by my name. This surprised me to think that he knew my name. I finally came to the conclusion that this couple and hahy were Geraldine and bud, with Junior. Bud said that he was teaching school at Buffalo, and that Kenneth Hawley was manager of a large garage in that city. They got off at the next station and I went back to sleep. When I awoke, I found myself in the city of Montreal. I got off the stage and went to get something to eat. When the waitress waited on me, she looked at me very strangely, and I began to wish I had gone somewhere else to eat. Soon she spoke and then I recognized her as Nettie Wyllie. My, but she had changed. She told me that she and Phyllis Farrell lived together and both worked there, only on differ- ent shifts. I left them and went out on the street, where I heard two men talking about a game. As I was very curious, I hastened in and found out that there was to be a big foot- ball game between two large schools. I decided to go, and when I was sitting there I heard them yelling for Wilson! Wilson! Hurrah for Wilson! The great quarterback! Soon I heard some one say, WJohnny certainly is the hero of the day! I found later that this was the same Johnny Wilson of Corning High. After the game, as I was pushing my way through the crowd, I saw two boys, and they did look awfully queer as they had long whiskers and their hair was quite long. One came up to me and said, WAre you Norma Close?U and I said, nYes, that's my nameg who are you?N Imagine the surprise! Tommy Cleary and Glenn Meeder. How different they looked. I asked where they lived and what they were doing. They told me that they lived way up in 4 the woods. They came down every three weeks for food and happened to hear about the game and decided to see it. They were soon gone and I was back in town. I decided to get something to drink, so I got a WCocN and got on an another airplane. I was soon in Oregon and we stopped in Eugene where Louise Poole was living. I went to visit her and found her very happy at her work, as County Clerk. I had a long chat with her and she-seemed anxious for me to stay over-night with her. So I agreed, and that night we went to town, and found the town filled with bill-boards, advertising Zackey Vanella, the great star, to be in person at the theater. I asked if that was the one that had gone to school with us and Louise said, WOh, yes, he certainly is swell.W We went to the theater and the wonderful orchestra started playing. We noticed a familiar face playing in the orchestra, and were more than astonished to find that it was Elmo Teal. Then the show started and there was dancing. They were certainly dressed stunningly and looked awfully pretty. Some of their faces looked very familiar, and we heard the person next to us speak of the Sigler and Chedzey girls,--how graceful they were. We wondered if these could possibly be our old friends, but after seeing them a few times, we were more than convinced that they were. It seemed that I had been seeing most all of the '51 graduates as those few days brought many of them back to me. I told Louise that I certainly had been fortunate. Then came Zackey--he was a second Al Johnson. He sang two selections. The first was HProtruding Earesn by Stickemup, and Vunsenuf Overture by Snazzy. He received much applause. Then came the dances. They did a couple of dances and during the last dance, Miriam recognized us in the crowd, and she was so surprised to see us that she made a mis-step. She immediately blushed and Ruth started to giggle, so that was enough to convince us that we were right. During this wonderful program, I was forced to leave because of a terrible toothach. I stopped at a little antique shop, next to the theater to inquire about a good dentist. In the shop was a young man polishing away on an article that I could not name, but he looked around in surprise, and I recognized him as Tony Palermo. As his shop was well known throughout the world, people came from everywhere to see some of his antiques, so we did not have much time for visiting. Well, he directed me to a dentist and said he would leave it to me to decide whether or not he was good. I took the chance and went hurriedly to my destination and entered a little office and sat down, rang a bell, and the door opened. Much to my surprise it was a young girl, dressed in a flowing white robe and a white cap, giving me the surprise of my life on finding that it was none other than Dora Ampi. Well we talked and talked, and then went to another little room and she worked a while on my tooth, which I had almost forgotten about, and I was soon relieved. I hurried back to the theater just in time to enjoy a good lecture given by one of my classmates, James Maynard, who at the present time was Professor of the University of Oregon. His lecture was WDO Married Men Make the Best Husbands?N taken from a debate given while he was in high school. I especially enjoyed this lecture because it so happened that I was one of the debaters. Next on the program were some magic stunts performed by the great magician, Herbert Martin. He did a few slight performances which amazed the crowd, then his wife did a stunt which brought down the house. She put a stool in the middle of the floor, sat down with a bucket in her hand and actually get milk from an imaginary cow. Well,I think I hardly need to introduce her but for the benefit of the doubt I will explain that it was our pianist back in dear old Corning High, Edna Edwards. when she got up she picked up her stool, turned her bucket upside down and instead of pouring out milk, out jumped the midget performer Willetta Balderson. Louise and I left the theater, went to her house, ate a little lunch, and then went to bed as We were just dead tired. The next morning my plane left for Portland, on my way we had a 2 hour wait at Ashland. While waiting I decided to walk around and look the town over. Going down the street I passed a little shop called NThe Elizabethean Beauty Shoppe,W and as I felt tired and dirty from travelling so long, I thought I'd get a shampoo and rest myself a little. This shop looked as good as any, so I stepped in, only to find that this shop was run by my old friend and classmate Elizabeth Banner, and her partner, Margaret Goetsch. They explained to me that one did the minicuring while the other tended to the finger- waving. They certainly had a clever little shop and a good business. Well we three had a gabbing good time. They told me that Vera had just moved to Ashland and was very happy in her little home with Sidney, living on A large chicken farm. Also that the Fashion Shoppe, was run by Hazel Deitz, it being one of the leading fashion shops in the world, with Doris Wheeler, new Mrs. Leonard Clark, the style specialist, and Emogene Rounsavell, the Art Stylist. As it was time for my plane to leave, I did not have time to visit with them, but had planned to return about two weeks later. When I arrived in Portland, it was late so I immediately made arrangements at Hotel Li Blanc. When I got to the hotel, I had quite a chat with Mr. Hidley, the hotel Clerk, who told me that Elmer Taylor was the present proprietor. I was also surprised to learn that only last night Mabel Knowles had stopped there overnight and left the next morning for South Africa, where she had set up her mission as a missionary. I sat in the lobby for about an hour, wrote a letter and listened to the rldio. I had the bleasure of hearing the world's greatest Tenor, James Roberts, and then a lecture given by one of the world's leading'Politicians, Orville Foreman, who was now running for United States Ambassador to India. Having tended to my engagements in Portland, I took the train for my old home town of Corning where I learned that Dorothy Peterson had stopped at the hotel for a few days and then left for Nome Alaska, where she was to be married to a young minister This minister was a noted one because of his great work among the Eskimos. I am now wide awake, that was some dream. It is 10 a. but I need not worry because I do not have to listen for the alarm for a while yet, not until sometime in September, when I go on to complete-my education. A ' at ,Q -A . t v ,., f Norma Close f I Mabel Knowles BACK TO SCHOOL I've crossed a roaring river, I've crossed a raging sea, I'm coming in my fliver, I'm coming back to thee. I've crossed o'er a mountain, Passed through a fertile valley, Gone by a wonderous fountain, And ridden through a back alley. I've crossed a sandy desert hot And many a land too cool, My tires soon began to rot When coming back to school. --Verna Carr X 0 JUNIOR CLASS GLASS HHSTOQY CLASS OFFICERS President ------------------- Paul Perrine Vice-President ------------ Kendall Barker Secretary-Treasurer -------- Margie Martin Class Advisor ---------------- Miss Wilkie Class Flower ----------------- Yellow Rose Class Motto ----------------- Work and Win In our Freshman year in high school, the most notable thing we did was to give our Freshman Return Reception. In our Sophomore year We were resting and saving our strength for our Junior year which will probably stand out in our memories as one of the happiest and most pros- perous years we have had. We started the year off right when we chose Miss Wilkie for our advisor. We have her to thank for much of the success we have enjoyed. The Juniors have been well represented this year in almost all of the school activities. In athletics we were represented in football, baseball, tennis, and also gave promise of having the coming stars for next year's basketball team. But we believe that sports alone do not make up school life, so we also give some of our time to our lessons. The proof we have of this is in our representation in the Scholarship Society. Our greatest achievement so far this year has been our play, WCome Out of the Kitchen,W which proved to be very much of a dramatic as well as a financial success. We have made plans for an event in the future--our banquet for the Seniors--but as yet they have not matured. In closing, the Junior Class of this year wishes to extend to the coming Junior Class the wish that they may enjoy their Junior year as much as we have ours. nfs be ease-vffmav ff' 'S! 4 'I' 1 'Qi' tm es all LL MP4 JUNIOR CLASS POEM The Juniors have quite a small class 3 For being smart, they're hard to beatg In athletics we do our best, .

He liked to see the elephants and pet And the polar bear though they acted very fierce He did not seem to care. One day as he was passing by, he absent mindedly Leaned up against the iron cage That held the Chimpanzee. And The And The The And as he stood there peacefully withou thought of care Chimpanzee reached out a hand grabbed him by the hair. Deacon pulled but 'twas no use Chimpanzee held tight, when he finally did get loose The Deacon was a sight.

We proved to the school that we were here by being well represented in athletics. Two of the Freshmen boys were on the football team and there were several other promising players on the squad. In basketball the majority of the players on the C team were Freshmen. The Freshmen girls teams also should give a good account of themselves in their future High School years. I We were very well represented in the Scholarship, having five members in the society. There were also Freshmen in the Operetta, both boys and girls. With the help and advice of our advisor, Miss Cahoon We have succeeded quite well in our first year of High School, which we have thoroughly enjoyed. 7 The NFreshieN Return Party is still a joyous expectatio but we hope that it will be a success. We hope that next year, as Sophomores, we can do as well or better as we have this year, also that the incoming WFreshiesH will enjoy their first year as much as we have.

The purchasing of a curtain, to be used on the stage, was authorized by one of these committees. The purpose of this curtain was to furnish a background for any plays that were given or in any way it might be suitably used. Another thing they looked after was the entertaining of the eighth grade pupils of the surrounding schools. On Friday, May first, every eighth grader was invited to be at the High School. They were entertained by a program and later shown about the building so they might not be lost on arriving at the school next September. This year has been a very prosperous one for the Student Body, although it has had hard times. Basketball brought in all the surplus moneyg the other games doing well if they paid for themselves. Kenneth Hawley GIRL'S GLEE CLUB There are about 40 girls in the Glee Club, all raring to go and full of pep and song, and under the supervision of Miss Elizabeth Smith, they convert their vociferous voices into melodious music which is appreciated by all who hear them. Several times the girl's glee or a quartet from their numbers has presented their talents to the Maywood Woman's Club. The girls have also sung in assembly at times. On the fourteenth of April they presented the annual operetta. Edna Edwards is the accompanist for the club. Everyone in the Glee Club has enjoyed themselves and all want to take this subject next year. Dorothy Peterson BOY is GLEE CLUB The boy's glee club was composed of about 24 boys. Some dropped out later. We were at a disadvantage as we had to meet at the noon hour for at least forty minutes. Considering the time of practice, we did quite well. The boys helped in the operetta. Some took the leads and the rest of the boys took the part of the U. S. Marines John Wilson. BAND We don't have what one would call a real band this year. The band sprang into existence soon after the basketball season started. The students lacked the necessary Hpepn to support a winning team, so Mr. Jackson, desiring to help the boys and the school, decided to do something. The next day he called a meeting of all people interested and organized a Wpep'band.H The student body owes a lot to the band members as they sacrificed time and pleasure to make the band possible. A great deal of Npepn was stirred up by the band and the faculty members, who gave new yells at times. The band also did a great deal to help make the music festival a success. The band members have practiced at noon and after school, giving their time to help the school and because they love music. It is hoped that a regular period will be set aside for the band next year. Elmo Teal ., 7 ri g'i .n-qw. L . ORCHESTRA The orchestra, under the directorship of Mr. Jackson, has met with decided success this year.

One of our aims was to have a Parent and Son Banquetg this was realized on the evening of March 20. There are two classes, with twenty-five enrolled. The first year class takes up the study of animal husbandry, and the second year takes up horticulture. Each class makes field trips. We have visited the Poultry Show in Red Bluff, and different dehydrators. We have entered into the judging contests which were held at Davis. Four representatives from our chapter visited the Christmas Live Stock Show in Los Angeles last fall. During our stay in Los Angeles, we visited the Cudahy Meat Packing Plant. They showed and explained the different processes that the meat had to go through. At the Stock Show at the Union Stock Yards, we saw the Grand Champion Baby Beef which sold for 331.26 per pound, and were taken all .through the stock yards, seeing the unloading stands and stock. We also visited Hollywood. Although this was a fine pleasure trip, we received a great deal of valuable instruction. James Maynard THE SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY Corning High School was admitted into the membership of the California Scholarship Federation on February 25, 1927 That year there were twelve honor students. The number in each succeeding year has been as follows: 1928--16 students, 1929--17 students, 1950--19 students. This year those in the Scholarship Society first semester were: Elmo Teal, President, Iola Thompson, Vice- Presidentg Helen Burch, Secretary, John Brundage, Paul Perrine, Ruth Martin, Maxine Gates, Lucille Fields, Lillian Hollenberg, Cleo Frazer, Margie Clemans, Ernest Huntley, and Alice Silbursack. Second semester members were: John Brundage, President, Helen Burch, Vice-President, Iola Thompson, Secretary, Margie Clemans, Emogene Rounsavell, Pauline Perrine, Martha Sertick, Alice Wilcox, Francis Goetsch, Alice Goetsch, Iola Thompson, Mildred Smith, Helen Burch, Margaret Goetsch, Marie Nesbit, Ruth Martin, Lucille Fields, Maxine Inns,' Elmo Teal, and Cleo Frazer. - Each semester a district convention is held at some school. These are held to promote friendship as well as to solve many problems that arise in the different schools. The fall convention for District 17 was held in Corning on November 17. Elmo Teal was chairman, and Richard Edwards of Chico was secretary. The business meeting was held in the morning, and in the afternoon, we went to the various Round Tables. The last thing in the afternoon was the Social Hour which was very entertaining, due to the cooperation of the students who were not in the Scholarship. A meeting was held in Durham in April, but our Chapter was not represented due to the fact that most of the members were practicing for the Operetta. On April 18, the Regional Convention was held in Sacramento. Ten delegates from Corning attended the Convention. The officers for the Northern District were elected, business matters were discussed, and an invitation extended by the Stockton Chapter to hold the next Regional , Convention there was accepted. The delegates were shown through the Sacramento High School, and then they visited the Capitol building. Maxine Inns Lucille Fields LATIN CLUB We, of the first and second year Latin classes of 1951, have organized a club for the purpose of educating the members of both classes as to Roman Customs, Roman Life, Myths, and a better knowledge of the Latin Language. Owing to the late organization of this club, we have been unable, as yet, to accomplish a great deal. We have our officers, our constitution, our colors and flower chosen, and everything in a business way is in smooth running order. Our work, this semester, has been the making of posters. These posters are very common adds with such trademarks as HHasn't scratched yet,H WIt floats,W etc. translated into the Latin. A visit to the Latin Room will assure you of the attractiveness of these. Two of our members, George McLane and Chester College, presented a play, WA School Hoy's Dream,W in assembly. As the days grow warmer our hopes extend to a picnic. Next year we hope to accomplish big things and also hope that the incoming Latin classes will take an abundance of interest in the various activities of our club. 2 Dorothy White THE SHOP CLUB The Shop Club consists of about fifty members of the Mechanical Drawing, Woodwork I and II, and Farm Mechanics Classes. At the beginning of the year, we elected Joe Babb as President and Charles Morgan as Secretary and Treasurer. The Shop Club has purchased over 31,600 worth of wood and iron working materials this year. At the end of the year we will have a picnic where we can go swimming. The Shop Club had the pleasure of moving into the new shop building. Thomas Cleary mx f , , . uw Q QQ , 5 Q 1 L,,,,,,,,.,,4.l. , . , A , . -1. s . K f Q . .N . . ,Awrfw--.fu..12Q:v .

It consisted of a Prologue and three acts. The scene of the Prologue was a Jewish pawn-shop, While the rest of the play is enacted at the home of Joe Bascomb's mother. The story is centered around a young man, Joe Bascomb, who has been away from home for about ten years. For some time his mothsr and sister Betty heard from him regularly and he sent them money which he earned. But for a year past they had received no Word from him at alla As they find out later, Joe has been in Sing Sing prison, accused of robbery at the race tracks after e big racea When Joefs term expires his pals--Muggs and Gilly, meet him at the pawn shop, but Joe very mysteriously says that he has other business mid cannot go with them.

By a coincidence, Muggs and Gilly were attracted to his door, and although Joe is anxious about their being there, they are invited to stay. In trying to keep the place for his mother, Joe has to use the bluff that Muggs Calias Lucius McCarthy! and Gilly Kalias Dudley Gilbert! have formed a peach-jam company and.have bought the peaches. Here it is that Sammy Martin comes in, offering to dispose of the peach jam. This transaction follows through, saving their home and making everyone happy. A Joe Bascomb finds a very sweet, capable wife in Elsie Tillinger, daughter of the man who held the mortgage for the ranch. Muggs and Gilly fall in love wiii Betty and Jessie Strong, Betty's girl-friend, and all ends happily when they find that Joe was falsely accused and that the money had been stolen by someone else.

Three years before, while touring the U.S.A. with her parents, Margarita met Lieutenant Harold Wright.

This is granted after a promise to release her from the old engagenent, All ends well as wedding bells proclaim Margerita's cngagem nt to Lieutenant Wright. A large crowd attended the opcretta, and all said it was done very well.

James Hadley GIRLS' PLAY DAY On Saturady, May 2, about twenty-four girls left from the Hotel Maywood at 9 o'clock for Hamilton City. When we got to the High School, we registered.

When the squad turned out for the first practice the school was surprised at the number of boys trotting down to the field. The reason for this astonishment or feeling of surprise was that in preceeding years the coach had always considered himself lucky if there were enough boys out to compose a team. However the first day this season found practically thirty boys out and the majority of them lasted the whole season. One practice game was held with College City before the start of the league games with this resulting score: College City l2 ------ Corning 7 This practice game served the dual purpose of bringing the boys to earth and showing them that they could stand plenty of good, hard practice. A week or two prior to the first league game the team suffered a great loss as Herbert Bankhead, a regular for three years, broke his collarbone during practice with the result that he was unable to play any of the remainder of the football season. Angus Lillie also had the misfortune of breaking a collarbone, which put him out of the games for the season.

He introduced a new system entirely in basketball as he emphasized foot work and team work more than anything else. BASEBALL For the preceeding five years, Corning Hi has had track instead of baseball, but this year it was decided to purchase baseball equipment and enter the baseball league instead of having track. The team had three practice games, the first being with the Corning Town Team, but Corning Hi succeeded in winning this game. In the other two practice games with Los Molinos, she did not fare so well, although, both games were very close.

He wondered as he walked down The quiet shady lane, If the kids at school were having Problems to explain. His steps turned toward the airport, Ben Torrey's plane stood by-- And in the shade of the eastern wing He dropped on the ground with a sigh. Beneath the wing the shade was cool, And the Freshio soon was sleepingg He did not know that the golden sun Was westward faster creeping. As he lay there peacefully a dreaming, Ben Torrey camo outsideg He hopped into the cockpit And thought he'd take a ride. As the propeller whizzed and spun arou And the motor began to roarg This certain little Freshie's dreams Were peaceful no more.

The class consists of twenty pupils. Seventeen are girls and three are boys. g The pupils have studied WGood English Text,N NIvanhoe,W WAmerica's Message,U and WThe Lay of the Last Minstrel. We are proud of our four honor students who are all girls. A Verna Carr ENGLISH II At the beginning of the year, the English II Class spent some time on punctuation and grammar, but later we read the book, WTale of Two citiesn written by Charles Dickens. Mrs. Chester Hoar, our instructor, resigned. The vacancy was replaced by Miss Marion Lane of Berkeley. The first time Miss Lane corrected our book reports, she told us we would have to have more punctuation. Punctuationf That word comes back to us again and we see a vision of com as, periods, dashes, question marks, etc. Spelling, too! How we tried to master it! Later we read NAS You Like lt,H HPatriotic American Prose,n and a book of short stories. We also gave plays and debates. One interesting debate was on prohibition. Many stories, biographies, and diaries were written. Gertrude Coryell ENGLISH III There are thirty-seven pupils in the two sections of the Junior English class. We started out at the beginning of the school term by studying Long's text on WAmerican Literature,H and Wheadings from American Literature.N After that we studied two books, HSilas Laphamn and Hsilas Marner.N These books furnished a different type of English work, and were welcomed. We are now studying the play, WJulius Ceasar.n After this play we will continue our study of American Literature. Alma Schleif ENGLISH IV The first part of the year was spent in studying punctuation all the rules of good composition. The rest of the time was spent in studying Long's text, which deals with the writers from the Anglo-Saxon period to the present day. In connection with Long's text some of the shorter works from most of the writers were read from Gayley and Young's book. The last ten weeks each student had to write an essay every other Friday in preparation for the subject A ex- amination. Miss Kloster has been the teacher throughout the year. LANGUAGE LATIN I The Latin I class of this year has fifteen pupils. In this class we learn how to translate Latin into English and vise versa. Also we are supposed to know what the dative, the objective, verbs, result clauses, idioms, the nominative, deponet verbs, the genitive, the ablative, the declensions, the conjugations and what many, many other interesting things are. Of course the first thing we should do in studying our lessons is to learn the vocabulary. In expressing their reasons for taking Latin, many students give the following: l. For college recommendation. 2. Because of the-many Latin phrases in music. 5. Latin is necessary for one who wishes to go into it 4. For the help derived from Latin in English. 5. Others just find it an interesting study because of the many English words that are almost the same as Latin words. Many of us would not recognize the following verse. If you would like to translate it, take Latin. Te Cano, Patria, Candida liberag Te refert Portus et exulum Et tumulus senum Libera montium Vox resonet. Alice Wilcox '35 LATIN II Some of the work covered by the Latin II class in translating and reading will be briefly stated in the follow- ing. Caesar's methods of fighting as compared to methods used during the World War. While the introduction of fire- arms has revolutionized war fare, yet many curious parallels remain. The Roman soldier dug trenches in order to fortify his campg the modern Udoughboy' literally Ndug himself inn. These changes have been brought about because of high explo- sives and long range guns. The Romans also Nsappedn or mined the enemy's trenches. The siege of Aliesa was almost like a siege in the World War, only on a very small scale. Caesar had 'wolf holesn and also Hbarbed wiren was formed by a dense thicket of bent over trees filled in with briars and brambles so that it was impossible to see through them. During the World War the soldiers wore helmets and steel breast plates in bombing raids, and wicker shields were used by French soldiers at Verdun to protect them from liqued fire. Wicker shields were first used by the Gauls to protect them from the arrows of their enemy. The Roman soldiers hurled their spears at long range and quickly followed up with a rush at the enemy with their small swords or daggers. The dough-boy first fires his long-range artillery and quickly follows up with a cavalry or infantry charge. The motor driven tank takes the place of the old Roman movable tower and battering ram. Skirmishers are taught today to shout as they spring forward when making an attack. Caesar states that from time immemorial this was done purely for psychological reasons, so as to arouse the men themselves and to terrify the enemy. For this same reason the Indians used the War Whoop, also the famous nRebel Yelln served the same purpose. We are prone to look on the airplane as American and ultramodern, and such it certainly is, but the first mention of a heavier than air flying machine was made by a Greek from southern Italy, who invented a flying machine said to have resembled a dove. The famous German plane Taube is so called because of its likeness to a dove when flying. As deadly as modern fighting has become with introduction of high explosives and poisonous gases, military authorities say that, in proportion to the number engaged, modern warfare is far less deadly than was ancient warfare. Caesar tells us that one hundred and twenty-four arrows struck the shield of one of his men at the Battle of Dyrrachium and that not one of his men came out of that battle unhurt.

Cleo Frazer '55 SUCENL SC MENCIE ' p ECONOMICS History in the Corning Union High School plays a large 'part in the curriculum, and in the Senior year it is given under the subjects of Civics and Economics. The latter subject is given the second semester in the place of the Civics class of the first part of the year. Chester L. Hoar presider over this class in room threeg just across the corridor from the office so the behavior of the class is excellent. Economics is a very valuable subject in the High School, for it teaches the pupil to economize While in school and also furnishes a back ground for later life. It covers a broad field of study in Production, Exchange, Destributions, Consumption and related subjects. Elizabeth Danner '51 UNITED STATES HISTORY United States History is a study of the History of the United States from the time of it's discovery till as near our present year as possible. There are about fourty students taking this subject this year. For the first semester we studied from our regular text written by Fite. The second semester a new plan was tried by our instructor Mr. Hear. At the beginning of each unite of history we re- cieved a sheet of paper with questions typed on it to cover that unit. There were references from other author's texts and we used more than one text. When we had completed study- ing for each unit we would either discuss it or write an ex- amination on it. This type of studying history became very popular because of the easy facilities for review and because we get the view points of so many different authors. Due to this new system our History Course has been much more interesting this semester We have found this type of studying history a big success and hope that this new plan will be followed next year. Paul Perrine '32 WORLD HISTORY, World History was taught at the beginning of the year by Mrs. Hear. With her help, we traced man from the beginn- ing of history up to the time of Napoleon I. Miss Lane took up the teaching of World History where Mrs. Hoar left off, and continued with the stages of civili- zation to the present time. The regular text book was used on four days of the week, and Current Events on Friday. Intrest was added to the class by oral reports. Lucille Fields '55 Civics When the present Seniors made up their schedules, it did not take them long to enroll for Civics as this is one the required subjects for graduation. The class was divided into two sections because of the largetnumber of Seniors, with Mr. Hoar and Mr. Shull as in- s ruc ors. During the entire semester we were studying very hard but we were also looking forward to the trip to Sacramento to visit the Legislature some time during the month of April. When the date did finally arrive there was transportation provided for every one, and on Thursday the twenty-nineth day of April the class made the trip to the State Capitol. Afterward every one seemed to think that the class had had a very enjoyable and instructive vacation. COMMUNITY CIVICS We of the Civics Class start the day off right by going to Civics first period. There are sixteen of us, not count- ing Miss Lane, our teacher. Although, Miss Cahoon taught us during the first semester and we all succeed in having a good time. Our book, Community and Vocational Civics, is divided under five headings: Group Life, Community Welfare, Govern- ment and Citizenship, Industry and Business, and Occupations. In addition to the text, each student is expected to do some outside work. We bring in newspaper clippings and oral reports. The clippings are pasted into notebooks which each student keeps. One must bring five clippings every week to bet an A, four for a B, three for a C, and two for a D. The oral reports are given on topics of general interest, and we must give one every week to get on A, every two weeks for a B, every three weeks for a C, and every six weeks for a D. Of course just bringing in enough clippings and oral reports does not assure a good grade but it helps. Besides this, we all subscribe to Current Events, a small paper which comes every week and we devote one day each week to that. Sometimes we have spell-downs with the teacher asking questions about the Current Events, and these help to keep the students interested. Alice Goetsch '54 NATURAL 5 C IUENCE PHYSICS We have enrolled, fourteen most worthy members, for Mr. Shull says so and we never dispute his word. He says only good students take Physics, and of course, we all get A's i?J. We learned the formula for work which is: Work equals force times distance. This formuls we have learned to use for it's the distance which you will go, and the force you are willing to put back of it that determines your grade. I think this formula was made for Physics. Brains are very important too, we haven't learned the formuls for them yet, though we are learning how to.use them. f' Do you know that every two bodies have and attraction for each other? Well Mr. Newton says so. Every Tuesday and Thursday we have experiments which prove to us many interesting things. The study of Physics is very interesting and is worth the hard, devoted, study which we have put into it. Edna Edwards '5I CHEMISTRY The Chemistry Class of '50 and '51 had a large enroll- ment most of which were Juniors. We were instructed by Mr. Hedgespeth. We have learned a lot about different substancesg what they are composed ofg how they will act with other substances, and how they are formed. In the laboratory we have performed some very humorous experiments, some of which I believed were noticed through- out the building with their wonderful odor. Three other things that we learned well were: l. Not to be a contented cow in class. 2. Be prepared for a test every Friday. 5. Don't break too many things in laboratory if you want to received any money at the end of the year. I am sure if you take Chemistry, you will not regred it and enjoy yourself throughout the year. ' Eugene Petersen '52 BIOLOGY The Biology class was composed of twenty-one students, nine boys and twelve girls, with Mr. Chester Hear as our in- structor. Biology is the study of life- of all living things-- whether plant or animal. The first semester we spent studying animal life or Zoology which includes man. We also found that there are many tiny animals so small that it was neces- sary to use a high powered microscope to see them. This part of our work was very interesting but we then started the study of plant life or Botony. We learned of many strange and interesting plants and we learned also many interesting things about the plants that we see every day. Class work wasn't all just studying from our text books, but we had laboratory days twice a week to experiment and to study examples of Zoology or Botany. ' Maxine Inns '55 PHYSIOGRAPHY Physiography is the new study that Corning Union High School has adopted. It is quite different than General Science which we study first semester, although we studied about some of the same things. This subject was added in order that some of the stud- ents planning to go into the Aviation field, might be helped in such things as the course gives. Physiography deals with fundamentals of Astronomy, the air, the sea, and the land. Frederick Danner '54 .f IENCLHSH PUBLIC SFEAKING If you heard some strange noises coming from room nine, second period, at the beginning of the second semesterg it was only the public speaking class. Eighteen Seniors and two Juniors, make up the class, of course this is a Senior subject but Juniors were admitted if their schedule was arranged so that they might. This is the first year that Public Speaking has been given in any of the courses and it seems to be liked very Well. Some of the things taught in this course are, the arrang- ing of talks, good posture, correct breathing and of course correct pronunciation of Words. This class was first held in room nine but latter moved to the assembly in order that they night practice from the platform. This came handy because on open night they gave speeches and later gave a play NMoon Light and Mistle Toen. CCONNEQCHAU TYPING The two sections of the first year typing class, meeting first and sixth period, have some very good records to show for what they have accomplished. Under the instruction of Miss Holmberg, the beginners started out learning which leter was under each white key. Of course they did this in a very slow but instructive nay, such as taking one key that came under each hand and drilling on this until it was well fixed in mind and then proceeding to another key. Toward the last of the first semester they were advanc- ing into speed tests. At first the tests were given every day but later only on Thursdays and Fridays. Some of the pup- iles were able to make forty to fifty words a minute at the very first but others increased their record by much more practice. , u, The setting up of letters was another interesting thing that furnished amusment for the class, although it took lots of time and figuring. Later telegrams, night letters and week-end letters were added to the knowledge of the pupils. Then came the study of the preparation of manuscripts and the writing out of business forms, such as leases and mortgages. And of course we continued to have speed tests throughout the whole year. ' SHORTHAND Miss Holmberg is very interested in making good steno- graphers of the members of the small shorthand class. She sends us to the blackboard practically every day. In this way she can tell who makes the right curves and who doesn't. About once a week we have dictation, usually letters, and we go into the typing room and type them. Ernest Huntly '52 BOOKKEEPING The Bookkeeping Class is composed of nine girls and six boys of whom all are Sophomorcs with the exception of two Seniors. The course is easy if you keep your work up, but if you let your work slide, it soon becomes hard. The first thing we learn is the principle of debits and credits. Then we learn how to put the transactions into the correct journalsg purchases, sales, cash book, etc. Then we have the simple task of transferring these to the ledger accounts, and then making a working sheet, profit and cash statement, balance sheet and the adjusting and closing entries. So you see it's just as simple as that. Our instructer, Miss Melen Holmberg, has done much to help us get these simple C?J little facts straight. Most of us, however, feel that we shall be able to do some bookkeeping for business men when we finish our course. 1 ' ,R . If-q H QE., y T n tw E M Wi st, i IQ 1' - 3 . . 'L if xii M in! kj coonine There are twenty-four in our cooking class, the largest in the history of the school. - f V We make lots of good things to eat such as cakes, pies, candy, bread, biscuits and salads besides lots of other nice things. - At times we divide up into groups and serve each other meals. We have also served the Agriculture Boys, Rotary, School Board, Scholar Ship Society and Football Boys. One day we gave an informal tea for all the mothers of the cook- ing class. ,' V Saturday morning, May 16, we had a picnic breakfast and swimming party at Deer Creek. But cooking is not all fun. We have our text books to study and are copying a nice selec- tion of recipes in our notybooks. Evelyn Spiegel '54 i SEWING In the month of September, 1930, a large number of girls, joined the ranks of Sewing. But soon, eager, hopeful faces clouded over and we began in good earnest to sew. Our first projects were aprons for the cooking class and oh, what a time those of us had who had never sawed before! Seams that were supposed to be straight were slightly zig- zag, hems uneven, etc, but our mottoe was, HNever Given Inn and as we struggled on we began to realize what joy sewing really is. T The first semester we worked under the direction of Miss Pugh. We didnt mean to be bad, it was just that sewing seemf ed one great lark, but nevertheless I pitied her. Miss Pugh was very patient though, and didn't scold. As we worked on and on,-flitting from pajamas to print dresses, darting from print dresses to make-overs etc, we improved greatly or at least it is to be hoped that we did. This second semester Mrs. Singleton has been our director. We find her equally patient and willing to help. Under her supervision we have made silk dresses, print dresses, sport and afternoon dresses and extra projects, 'Our crowning event was Open Night. That night three projects of each girl were on display. And what a display! Need I say we were proud of it? Dainty silk dresses, more practical but not less attractive print dresses, gay pajamas,'lovely under garments, wonderful outside problems, were grouped together in every available space. Beautiful flowers, crepe paper streamers and gorgeous lamps added a festive air to the already bril- liantly lighted fairy land. There are many girls, who worked under the supervision of Gladys Mithen and Mrs. Singleton, to thank for this dis- play. - And so those of us who have experienced and shared the troubles, joys, and fun of Sewing, have many happy days to look back upon, and those who are going on to take Sewing willk back over these days and laugh and smile together. Dorothy White '55 MATH , ALGEBRA I? The first year Algebra class of twenty-eight in number, began learning to work algebra problems just as we once learn ed Arithmetic. We were taught to add, subtract, multiply and divide--but we did this with positive and negative numbers, which were quite new and puzzling. Next we learned to work out equations with X and Y and also making graphs. Miss Wilkie then taught us to work with signed numbers which were not very hard. . Pop! came some more equations. We had quite a time working those. We finished those after a while, and started some new work called factoring. Although sometimes we had more fun than algebra we learned quite a bit in our first yearq Martha Sertick '34 GENERAL MATH. There are 14 boys and 4 girls in General Math. this year. In this class the boys probably average the highest. Math. is very easy for those in the class who work. But if it weren't for our teacher, Miss Wilkie, we probably would not learn so much. Dan Pietrzak is the best pupil we have in our class as he makes A's. When we are seniors we can look back and see how far we would have advanced without Miss Wilkie. NBobH Williams '54 GEOMETRY Miss Wilkie teaches the geometry class of mineteen, which has progressed very rapidly throughout the entire year. Geometry is not a very easy subject. It deals with fundament- als of angles, circles, squares, triangles, polygons, rect- angles, and what have you. Much knowledge is obtained from this course that will help you in your later years in trigonometry and in college. We have a very brilliant class this year and know that there will be another one next year. Frederick Brenham '52 ALGEBRA II There are six girls and six boys in this class. Our teacher is Miss Wilkie. We learn how to solve several dif- ferent kinds of equations such as linear, quadratic, and irrational. We also study logarithms and the principles of trigonometry. Algebra is very interesting but at times it is very hard to understand. Mildred Smith '32 IUHYSHCXML PD ...I BOYS ' At the beginning of school last September every boy had to enroll for physical education. It was to be given first, sixth and seventh periods. Seventh period was given over en- tirely to the training of boys who would play in the teams against other schools, as basketball, football and baseball. After a few days of school Mr. Shull and Mr. Schwein found it impossible to have all the boys in the periods just mentioned, so another class was held during fifth period. In the class, the sports that were played, were as cloes- ly as possible in season. Of course some depended on the size of the class. If it contained twenty-five or thirty, basket- ball could not be played successfully. y GIRLS The first part of the school term We spent our time prac- ticing basketball. In December We started to play our inter- class games. All four classes showed efficiency, due to pat- ient coaching of Miss Cahoon. The later part of the year we played inter-class volley- ball and baseball games. Any one on the team who won in a series of two or more of these different sports was entitled to a circle WCW. All classes hoping for the best. Alma Aufort '32 1 , 4 5 1 . Y x x V Q 3 7 i S53 N if 5' 'ir 'X 31 . R .-iw i f , any ,..'Asi4,.,.,, ml '.,. FR ,M x 9 Q x 56 My , A f X .
