EX LIBRIS PATRICIA CREECH The Coronal Published Annually by The Students of Corona High School Corona, California DEDICATION We, the staff, dedicate this, The Coronal of 1931, to the brave men and women who, through supreme sacri- fice, established in California new homes for future generations. 3Fomimrii ANY years ago bands of pioneers broke new trails into a vast western “El Dorado,” so that coming generations might live more comfortable and com- pletely. Because of the romance that has become irretrievably interwoven with the hardships of these early days, the staff has selected the theme, “The Romance of California” for the 1931 Coronal.

Then, being of the experimental type, having been in Mr. Vaile’s chemistry and physics class, I decided to try it. After a great effort I ob- tained one flower from the plant and scornfully began to eat it. To my great surprise, I immediately felt drowsy and soon I was lost in the oblivion of sleep. I awoke with a start to find that I had been asleep for fifteen years. I was greatly surprised at the changes which had taken place. Corona ' s population ex- ceeded that of Los Angeles, I was told. Not an automobile was in sight. Airplanes only were used for transportation. I searched in vain for my old classmates. Finally after going into a beauty parlor to get my hair finger waved, I came across Roberta Ely and Berle Robinson, classmates in the make-up class. I hurriedly asked them about the fate of the rest of the class, and they shamefully answered that they had made no effort to keep track of them. Roberta informed me, however, that Allan Haines, now a famous inventor had perfected a “radiospectograph tellitometer” which was con- trary to all laws of science, and a development of the “electromagnograph spygno- meter” he worked sot hard on all the while in high school. Perhaps if I went to him, Roberta said, I would be able to locate my former companions. I hurried over to Allan’s laboratory and secured his aid. After skillfully manipulating the numerous controls, the wizard finally got in touch with George Fink and Bob Shank. They were stranded, penniless, in Australia, where they had gone on a pleasure trip. While there, however, George had developed a severe case of color blindness, as he tried to reach the moon in his huge rocket plane and was wearing 500 watt ties. Doctor Shank feared his case was incurable. The next fact revealed to us was that. Helen Walker was acting as chief soloist in the Salvation Army and was trying in vain to convert her former chum, Marjorie Carlson, now an entertainer at the Chapultepec theatre. We next found that Pee Wee Clark was “Just a Gigolo” at Harriette Hall and Jeannette Toolen’s school of dancing and dramatics. Alma Conlee and Earl Martin, I was amazed to learn, were each serving a ten-year sentence in Sing Sing for stealing pennies out of the wishing well at the Huntington library. Card Cunningham was acting as private secretary to Louis Curtis who was selling Austin Airplanes to aspiring aviators. Harry Johnson was one of his first enthusiastic customers. Vivian Peeler was debating against Ghandi and trying to prove that India was not yet ready for self government. Raymond Zbranek was now an eminent “buggologist” while Frances Spencer was acting as an able assistant and director. We were next surprised to hear that the beautiful romance of Wilson Briggs and Eloise Gist Briggs was shattered as they both impatiently waited for a divorce in Reno. Mary Sullivant was named as the lady in the case. Helen Henneuse was now editor of the Lewisville Gazette and Mildred Brock- man was acting as her society editor. Ada Ashcroft was drawing cartoons for this peppy paper patterned after our old Ko-Hi-Nur. Phyllis Hill had invented a red haired traffic cop system, the idea being to hire only red heads” for traffic cops and then merely having them put on green caps for “go,” and having their red heads exposed for stop. sixteen Kennie Overholt had just received his M. A. L. degree (mechanic at last). Irma Lytle and Margaret Fitch were running an orphan asylum in Chicago while Winifred Sutter was teaching young girls at Lloydsboro Seminary how to enter a room gracefully and leave with equal poise. In short she “finished” them. Madeline Clark had just completed a book entitled, “Advice to the Modem Generation.” The book was published and highly praised by John Brownell. Monte Nutter was starring in “Famous Last Words” at Harper’s new theatre. Herbert Smith was the owner of a huge model alfalfa farm and Orville Veach acting as foreman. As we watched the two talking over their agricultural problems, Eugene Mickle drove up in a huge truck to get vegetables to sell on the streets. Katherine England was teaching English at dear old C. H. S. and Helen Knoll was speaking on “Women vs. Men for Presidency.” As usual she was stand- ing up for her rights. Verla Davis, Mary Threlkeld, Ruby Glimp and Beryl Dalton made up the famous “Roamers Quartette” and sang over radio station A-G-O-N-Y. Edna Mae Thomas was displaying her latest canvas at the famous art exhibit and Opal Ruth was professor of history at U. S. C. A1 Chapin had become a great actor since his marionette show proved to he such an unsurpassed entertainment to such infants as Frank Atzet, Frances Culp and John Pensivy. I found Joy Baker wasting time in fruitless efforts to invent a paper stretch- er in order to aid Palmer Wattenberger, who, while writing a book in a temporary period of financial embarrassment, ran out of paper. Wilford Guffey was trying to persuade Patricia Creech, who was the first woman to become President of U. S. A., that our unemployment crisis was due to over-speculation. Earl Henson and Viola Paynter were partners in the “Always Late” Plumbing Corporation. Lyle Hatton owned a huge millinery store in Prado and had as his chief designer the well known Aline Cates. Astounded at this marvelous invention of Allan’s and the progress of my classmates, with the exception of a few less fortunate ones, I spent the remainder of a small sum of money which I had in obtaining another lotus flower. I did not fit in this new atmosphere and my companions were so scattered I had little to live for. Again that old feeling of drowsiness comes upon me at the first taste of the fatal flower. — Evalyn Roberds. seventeen SENIOR CLASS HISTORY HEN the class of ’31 entered high school as freshmen we were a bit quaky. We had the idea that we could not come up to the standards set by the other classes. That was just a freshman’s inferiority complex. In about two weeks the freshmen began to show signs of having a bunch of students that was to be envied. In class “C” foothall the freshmen helped to make a successful team. The frosh on the team were: Bob Shank, David Prentis, Lawrence Kendrick, Herbert Smith, Kenneth Overholt, and George Fink. Monte Nutter and George Fink were prominent in basketball. Virginia Lloyd made the school hockey team. Vivian Peeler and Merle Fisk won their class numerals in their first year of debating. The track honors for interscholastic competition went to the freshmen girls. As sophomores we kept on making a place for ourselves and setting new standards for the sophomore classes that would follow in our steps. Foothall season found Wilson Briggs and Herbert Smith on the school heavy- weight team. Our boys constituted the major part of the Lightweight team. We, as sophomores, showed our originality in putting on our rally stunt. Orville Veach, Lawrence Kendrick and Herbert Smith made the school tennis team. We put on a play for Lemonville entitled, “A Case of Suspension.” Those taking parts were Jeannette Toolen, Betty Webster, Virginia Roberts, Mildred Brockman, Kenneth Overholt, Robert Shank, Monte Nutter, Allan Haines, Carol Cunningham and Dale McCue. Evalyn Roberds placed second in Forensic that year. Carol Cunningham and Wilson Briggs had minor leads in the operetta, “The Belle of Barcelona.” There were many sophomores in the chorus. During the third year at high school we tripled our activities and we had many members of our class participating in both scholastic and athletic work. The junior girls’ basketball team won the interclass championship and tied with the frosh for the champion team in hockey. Junior boys couldn t resist the football season. Wilson Briggs, Herbert Smith, Bob Simpson, Weldon McPherson and Wilford Guffey were among the Heavyweights who played. Monte Nutter and Bob Shank honored the junior class hy earning the privilege of participating in the Southern California track meet. Jeannette Toolen, Carol Cunningham and Wilson Briggs had leads in the operetta, “The Lady of the Terrace.” Seniors! at last! Three years of climbing and at the end we became a de- pendable group of seniors. We chose Los Angeles County Playgrounds as our destination on ditch day. The class play was “The Patsy,” with Harriette Hall taking the title role, supported by Jeannette, Carol, Albert, Helen, Allan Monte Earl and Louis. The girls won the interclass tennis championship. Our debate team came out with high honors in the interclass debates. The Co u n t and the Co-ed,” the operetta for 1931, had a majority of seniors taking major leads. They were Winifred Sutter, Patricia Creech, Evalyn Roberds Wilson Briggs, Mary Sullivant, Madeline Clark, Vivian Peeler, Irma Lytle and Eloise Gist as accompanist. On the boys’ heavyweig ht basketball team, Herbert Smith Chapin and Palmer Wattenberger upheld the honor of our class. ’ George Fink, A1 • — Mildred Brockman. eighteen THE JUNIOR CLASS HIS year the class of 1932 more than repeated its success in the two previous years. The hoys were outstanding athletes. On the class “A” football team were: John Ganahl, John Buzan, Tyler Thompson, Robert Martin and Jack Woodward. The Lightweight basketball team consisted of junior boys with the exception of one. Elbridge Wallace was captain; Albert McCurdy, Leo Durkin, John Ganahl, Walter Blair and Loyd Sherwood were the other members. The girls too, were successful athletes. Corinne Masterson won first singles in the interclass tennis games. We also won the girls’ interclass volleyball cham- pionship. The class of ’32’s part in the Rally was a clever tragedy called Piff-Poff Land.” Irene Patchin, May Keast, Yvonne Toolen, and Carrie Walker were in Hi Jinks. Our class debators were: Donald Smith, Patricia Mahoney and Harry Whit- comb. They also made the school team. Several juniors were rewarded for scholastic attainments by being elected to the Scholarship Society. They are: May Keast, Willien Puder, Loyd Sherwood, Marvin Johnson, Donald Smith, Tyler Thompson, Isabelle Rawls, Patricia Mahoney and Corinne Masterson. The class officers were: Marvin Johnson President Corinne Masterson . . . Vice-President May Keast Secretary Albert McCurdy Treasurer — Carrie Walker. nineteen THE SOPHOMORE CLASS HE grown up freshmen of Corona High started the school year of 1931 minus a few of the old classmates but plus a number of new ones. We, as sopohomores impressed our new dignity upon the minds of the other classes by entering into many school activities. The girls did fine in sports, winning the championship in basketball and hockey. The girls on the winning basketball squad were: Captain Rowena Robles, Verda Morrell, Sylvia Perrin, Mary Bender, Juanita Shadle, Frances Chambers, Emogene Morrow and Margaret Vaughn. Juanita Shadle was captain of the victorious hockey team. Ruth Brockman made the school hockey team. The boys were not to be outshone. Nevitt Rossiter, William Chambers, Raymond Chambers and George Becerra were on the school Fleaweight basketball team. Forest Black was a member of the Lightweight team and Frank Ortiz was one of the Heavyweight squad. The Scholarship society numbers among its members, several sophomores. 1 hey are . vValter Beck, Ruth Glass, Eileene Gregory, Frances Henneuse, Barbara Hallgren, Marjorie Hicks, Arvilla Krick, Joseph Landon and Emogene Morrow. The school operetta, Lemonville, owed much of its success to class members. In the cast were Forest Black and Joseph Landon, while support in the choruses was given by many other sophomores. The following are the officers who helped the class amid its trials and successes: Forest Black-President; Cloyce Overholt— Vice-President; Allie Belle Sparkman — Secretary; Anita Pierce — Treasurer. — Emogene Morrow twenty FRESHMAN CLASS UR present freshman class is the largest that has ever entered the portals of Corona High School. There are a great many possi- bilities in its members which have already been brought to light. This class had prepared an immensely clever negro stunt for Rally Night, but owing to the untimely lighting of the annual bonfire, was unable to give it. The chorus of the Lemonville Op- eretta showed a predominance of freshmen girls. Wilma Rose Lambeth and Billie Louise McDonald had parts in the Girls’ League Hi Jinks. In athletics we are gaining a prominent position. The fleaweight football teams consisted chiefly of freshmen boys. In athletic circles the girls have also gained recognition as willing workers. The captains of the various class teams are as follows: hockey — Wilma Lambeth; basketball — Ruby Smith; volleyball — Irene Pate. The Pep Cub, a girls’ organization whose purpose is to organize cheering sections at the games, numbered among its ranks many freshmen girls. Another phase of freshmen activity is the debating squad, which consisted of two girls, Winniefae McKown and Ruth Ely; and two boys, Allen Lannom and Vincent Shank. Vincent Shank, a class member, is our successful school yell leader. Very often freshmen are so overawed with the newness of high school that few are elected to the Scholarship Society. With the freshmen of 1931, a different story can be told. Because of outstanding scholastic ability, Paul Ganahl, Max Mandell and Jean Smyth were elected to membership in this club. The class officers are : Vincent Shank .... President Ruby Smith .... Vice-President Marion Stutsman . Secretary and Treasurer — Harriett Ranney. twenty-one twenty-two A LONG AGO E, who live a life of school activities, do not often stop to think and wonder about those who have lived before us and paved the way for our happiness and contentment. In Southern California and especially in the region near Corona, there is an old history which is beautiful and intriguing, if one will but take the little time that is required to turn back a few yellowed pages in the book of time. There are dashing and colorful actors in the three epochs of our own history, — Indian Hunters, dancing Spaniards, and toiling pioneers of ’49. We have a few precious reminders of these people left to us by them, unintentionally, perhaps. Whenever I stand before any of these, I do not see them a3 they are, a ruined little frame building, an adobe mansion that is sadly losing its beauty before the ruth- less elements, or an old carved rock resting high above a sleeping stream. Instead my mind wanders back to the time when they were a part of a gay and sad life, as we are now. I stand before a huge rock, whitened and colored and broken by many winds and rains. On it are many rude carvings of a chief and his belongings. It is con- sidered valuable by the white man, but I am not thinking of that. In my mind, I see the Indians, on the night these carvings were created. A roaring and crack- ling fire stretches its scarlet fingers high into the dark sky and throws an orange light on the bronzed and shining bodies of the brightly plumed Indians. The mel- low beat of the drums mingles strangely with their stirring cries and lamentations. A full crystal moon is shining on the silver world below. A coyote’s weird howl answers the cries of the dancing Indians. They dance but their hearts are sad. They have just buried their chief near The Rock. A chosen old Indian carves on with his hard black stone through the cool night and the moccasined feet beat their steady rhythm until dawn. The sun, a golden disc, rises over the blue hills in the east. The meadow-lark’s liquid song is heard and the Indian life goes on the same as before. The women in their elder-bark skirts kneel and grind corn meal on stone metates, and grind also the plentiful acorn for food by the beautiful little stream, the Pakhavka. The young braves are away from camp. They are killing the graceful antelope, the rabbit, the squirrel and sometimes the mountain lion. From them the village will get meat and skins. The little children swim in the river and play many games. They soon tire of these, however and go to the wise old men, who tell the legends of the First People on this great earth, of their creation and too of the great deeds of their own chiefs and young braves who lived long ago. But now the golden sun has turned to crimson and disappeared over the purple plain. Night wraps her dark blue mantle about her and the crystal moon guards the Indians once more. Now before me on a high grassy hill, I see the old adobe of the Cotas. It still retains its grandeur, despite its age and ruin. In this day of glory, many fiestas were held there. The Spanish people for miles around came to these. I can see one now — the crystal moon shines also this night on the adobe of the Cotas. The hacienda is long and low and looks to be a pale, blue fairy palace in the flood of moonlight. I hear strains of gay music from the patio, for there violins and guitars are being played. It is the wedding of a most beautiful Senor- ita, the niece of the gracious senora, and everyone is there, rich and poor. Now, they are dancing. The women are very graceful and quiet as they dance, so that only their tiny morocco slippers show beneath their full skirts. The men in their silver laced velvet pantaloons and silk shirts and bright colors, form a pleasing pic- twenty-three ture as they whirl gayly around their almost stationary partners. Everyone is in a merry mood, and many are the open glances between the young senors and senor- itas. One may often see the roll of pretty black eyes beneath dark lashes, and their owners’ tiny heels and castanets click in rhythm to the La Jota. Outside, gal- lant steeds stamp impatiently in the blue night, anxious to carry their masters and mistresses home. They are bedecked in silver and wonderfully carved trappings, for they are the pride of their matters, carefully bred and kept. Theirs is the privilege of bearing gallant dons and donas from grand fiestas such as this one. I see before me now an old brown adobe ruin standing in the loving shelter of drooping pepper trees. I would hardly notice it now, but I know that not long ago, it was the scene of many colorful activities. A hot sun is shining on the hrown fields with blazing gold. There is a warm breeze from the canyon. I look across the peaceful valley. Nothing disturbs its serenity but the flight of the soaring and sailing birds. Ah! But now I see clouds of dust on the horizon! Look! It is a stage coach drawn by pounding horses. The jolly and swearing driver pulls them up at the Butterfield stage station and dis- mounts wearily. Many greetings and much news changes hands. The passengers joke heartily while the horses are being changed in the back part of the station, finally all is ready, and the picturesque company gaily takes leave for other sta- tions. They disappear from view and are gone — forever. No more may we see these colorful scenes. We live in a machine age and a decidedly sophisticated time. Simple life has left us and now— “Gone are the dancing feet of the Spaniard, The t hud of his horses’ tread. Gone the vacqueros, gone the wild cattle, Gone like the camp fires — dead. — Elise Overall Dean. twenty-four CORONA HEN the name Corona is mentioned, there comes to one’s mind a picture of a town of pleasant homes on well-paved streets shaded by lacy pepper-trees, with its surrounding ' citrus groves of eternal green, spreading over a gradual slope from the valley of the Santa Ana to the blue hills in the south. But how different was this mesa of ours in the early days. It was covered with hrush and cactus and strewn with rocks and boulders. It was without streets or roads or signs of habitation; here and there were little paths trod by the coyote and the rabbit and followed by field mice as they crept in search of water. Even the Indian hastened on his way toward better hunting grounds. Almost the same picture is presented by two brothers who, in 1849, were driving cattle from San Diego to be sold in San Pedro. Finally they saw spread out before them, stretching from the high hills on the left, down toward the river, the wide mesa. They had started early that morning, but the sun, too, had risen early, and already the heat waves ascended from the treeless mesa, covered only with sage brush, wild buckwheat, and cactus. The valley was bordered on both east and west with low hills. Cattle and horses roamed at will, unrestricted by rail or fence. The dusty stage road, winding across and disappearing from view among the sage brush, was the only visible sign of civilization. This vast region was part of the Yorba land grant.’’ In 1843 Don Bernardo Yorba received from the Spanish crown a grant of land known as the Canada de Santa Ana situated in the northeastern part of what is now Orange county. Later, in 1846, he was granted the land called La Sierra dc Yorba” which included the present site of Corona. Bernardo settled in the western part of his grant near the town now called Yorba. Here he built himself a home of adobe containing thirty rooms. There were several smaller houses for his ser- vants. These buildings were enclosed by a high adobe wall. His tanners, weavers, soap-makers, wool-combers, harness-maker, shoe-maker, school teacher and jeweler, all lived within this wall. His provisions were purchased from San Francisco in amounts large enough to last several months. He had a princely income from his vast herds of sheep, cattle and horses that roamed thousands upon thousands over this unfenced territory. Bernardo’s servants, almost all of them Indians, loved him because he was so kind to them. When Don Bernardo died in 1858, he was mourned by all who knew him, for Americans honored and respected him as well as did his Mexican and Indian ser- vants. At his death the land was divided among his children who, a few years later sold part of it for eight dollars an acre to the founders of Corona. Many thrilling incidents could be added to this early history of our mesa. For example, a band of horse thieves worked in this territory with their camp and main corral at Hidden Ranch in the hills south of Corona. Then, too, the Overland Stage from San Francisco to St. Louis, with its team of six or eight horses, drove through this country to Temescal, Temecula, and on to Yuma, following the general route of Ontario Street. So, you see, this pretty town of ours has had a romantic history in times past even though now-a-days she basks peacefully in the sun, nestling close to the everlasting hills. — Willien Puder. twenty-five A BRAVE DEED WAS the winter of 1776 The snow was on the ground, The trees stood bare in the cold night air And the crier was on his round. “Ten o’clock’’ — Miss Bet slept sound In her home in Concord town. Young in age, but old in ways. A beautiful child; and yet (As you shall see in time to come) Courageous was little Miss Bet. ’Twas getting on towards twelve o’clock When a cry aroused the town. Betsy awoke, with a gasp of fright. When the words of the crier echoed round, “Regulars! The Regulars! to horse and away Or you’ll all be killed ere the dawn of day!” Betsy thought of her father dear. Brave old Colonel Trent Of Valley Forge, where he lay ill, Hungry, cold, and fever spent. Quickly she arose and dressed herself, Then, mounting her silvery mare Flew down the road toward Valley Forge To warn her father there. On she rode o’er hill and dale, Through the night in storm and gale, Past sentinels — into the fort she raced. The warning she gave Her country to save, While the guards stood, all amazed. The sun, rising high, Saw the sleeping troops ’roused, While Betsy gave way And fell with a sway Into her father’s arms. twenty-six — Marie Stimson. AS THE CLOCK STRUCK TWELVE LL was quiet. Not a sound broke the sudden silence. The leaves rustled lazily in the cold night’s breeze no longer. The breeze itself had suddenly disappeared into the distance from whence it had come earlier in the evening. The people standing in the center of the small town square awaited the passing of the old year. Bong! The town clock began the announcing of the hour of midnight. The people became even more hushed than before. Not a breath stirred. Bong! The figure of an old man stepped out from the small crowd and walked on down the narrow dirt road. Bong! The people gasped, then drew closer together. A shudder passed from one to the other as they gazed upon the weird sight. Bong! The old man, clothed in a long grey robe which matched perfectly his shaggy locks of hair, seemed to lean heavily upon his staff as he slowly passed further away. Bong! An especially bright star seemed to light the way a few paces before the stranger. Bong! Encouraged by this guidance, the creature quickened his pace and, when the next “bong!” was heard, the people grew more easy because of the distance steadily growing between the shape and them. As the clock boomed its twelfth note the figure passed into the dark mists in the distance, and the shining form of a child was seen in its place. “Well done, wasn’t it, Mary?” murmured a young man. “Yes, very well done,” the girl thus addressed replied. “I really don’t see how Judge Tom could do that well as the Old Year without any practice.” Meanwhile, the crowd noisily ushered in the New Year. — Catherine Ashworth. THE GLEANERS The fields resembled a colorful patch quilt, — yellow monkey flowers, blue larkspur, golden poppies and mariposa lilies swayed gently in the breeze. Soft fleecy clouds sailed lazily across their azure lake and the snow-crested mountains smiled benignly on the quiet scene. Suddenly a car came speeding down the country road. It stopped and a horde of vandals trooped across the field. The mountains frowned threateningly and the clouds scurried across the sky as though unwilling to witness the destruction taking place. Finally the flower-laden car sped on its way. The fields so lately blooming with floral beauty were now despoiled of their glory. The flowers had been pulled up roots and all, and hundreds of them were crushed and trampled. It was wild-flower time in California. — Mary Bender. twenty-seven ANECDOTE OF AN OLD TIMER AL, Miss, thar’s mor’n one tale I could gab ’bout pioneerin’ days. But I reckon I know what them young folks likes best, an’ that s sompin’ ’bout love. Wal, ma’am, I kin tell ye sev’ril stories ’bout love. I hiv see ye laughin’ up yer sleeve, but ye needn’t.

Those selected this year were: Editor Assistant Editor Business Manager Literary Editor Joke Editor Girls’ Sport Editor Boys ' Sport Editor Photograph Editor Art Editor Stenographer Helen Henneuse Corinne Masterson Phyllis Hill Evalyn Roberds Vivian Peeler Harriette Hall Melvin Clark Suzanne Gould Patricia Creech Frances Spencer Miss Youngstrom, the art teacher, selected a separate art staff of twelve students, namely: Patricia Creech, Earl Martin, Dorothea Lehman, Marjorie Hicks, Margaret Colwell, Ina Rawson, Elise Dean, Roger LePont, Frances Henneuse, Margaret Hanna, Emma Herkelrath and Edna Mae Thomas. This staff has been busy for they did the entire art work for this annual. Money to make this book possible has been raised by various methods. The greatest amount has been received through the donations received from the husiness men and different organizations of Corona. Candy sales have been another method. Every noon since spring, candy sales were staged which proved a great success. A very entertaining way of raising money was through a popularity contest for both girls and boys. Many posters were made thus increasing the interest. Each student had to pay a small amount to vote for his favorite candidate. The winners were announced at the Senior Pipy. — Corinne Masterson. twenty-nine THE SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY First Semester Second Semester Joseph Landon President Donald Smith John Ganahl Vice-President Irma Lytle Marvin Johnson Secretary Helen Walker Donald Smith Treasurer Tyler Thompson Advisor — Miss Katherine Stewart Those students who are members of the Scholarship Society deem it a very great honor as this Society maintains the highest standards in both scholarship and outside activities. The following rules determine membership in this organization: Ten points must be earned in one semester. These points are determined by grades as follows: A in a solid, 3 points; B in a solid, 1 point; A in % solid, 1 point. In C. H. S., a total of two points may be gained in extra-curricular activities. One point may be earned if an aspirant has: (1) Earned letter or start in athletics. (2) Represented school in such contests as forensic and debating. (3) Been elected officer in student body. At the close of each year, California Scholarship Federation pins are awarded to seniors who have been members of the Society for at least six semesters, one being in the senior year. There are very few students who receive this honor, hose earning pins this year are Vivian Peeler and Winifred Sutter. Members of this Society receive many privileges not accorded to other f h ° fT members enjoy a p arty or picnic each semester and at the close of dav off °fo ye T’ ,T° haVG bel ° nged for either semater have the privilege of a Mss Marv V ThiS year the Scholarship Society was entertained at Mary Brown s.

It not only represents every class, hut supervises and finances many school activities. During 1930-31, approximately eighty-five per cent of the total number of students in high school were members of the Student Body. This entails a fee of one dollar and fifty cents. In return, the student paying such an amount is entitled to entrance to all athletic contests, numerous assemblies, and a year’s subscription to the Ko-Hi-Nur. Annual Rally Night was held October 17, under auspices of this group, to stimulate interest in the football activities. Each class prepared and was ready to present a short “stun,t” previous to the lighting of the huge bonfire. The pro- gram was disrupted somewhat this year, as the fire started burning brightly at the close of the sophomore “skit.” The Student Body is responsible for presenting the assembly program on Wednesday of each school week. On March 23, Miss Jane Addams spoke to students and patrons of the school on World Peace” and “Hull House.” This, of course, was the most important assembly of the year. Freshmen week of course, was observed as usual. This year, it was held during the week of October 6. Many “f reshies” were justly chastised for sup- posed infringements of school laws by the Kangaroo Court, composed of upper classmen. Lemonville, instituted many year s ago, was combined with the oper- etta, “The Count and the Co-ed,” being presented May 1. Student Body officers were: Robert Shank — President; George Fink — Vice- President; Phyllis Hill — Secretary; John Brownell — Treasurer. —Phyllis Hill. thirty-one GIRLS’ LEAGUE HE Girls’ League of Corona High School has proved itself to be one of the most outstanding organizations. It has decidedly lived up to one of its most important and staunch purposes to help in the growth of a distinctive uplifting spirit in the Corona High School.” The Girls’ League, made up of all the girls of the school, is a wonderful help to its members, giving them an opportunity to work and play together, thus enabling them to become better acquainted. Each year a Girls’ League convention is held at one of the larger schools for the purpose of becoming better acquainted and to gain new and helpful ideas for the year’s work. This year the convention was held at Orange High School. Our school was represented by the president, Marjorie Carlson, and the treasurer Corinne Masterson. One of the outstanding entertainments of the year, the Girls’ League Hi-Jinx, which is put on entirely by the girls, was presented on December 5 Each girl voted for the one whom she thought typified an ideal high school girl. The girl who wins this election is made queen and reigns at Hi-Jinx. The queen was Marjorie Carlson. The program consisted of a three-act play, “The Farmerette” and an operetta, The Costume Box.” The major part of the funds from Hi-Jinx was used m charity work. • May the GirlS ’ Leag:ue entertained their mothers with a formal tea The they woS b SirlS , fr0m the JUni ° r High Were giV6n a reC6ption to show th ™ that they would be welcome in high school.

J 1 1 L 1 ■ La r _ J J THE KOHENUR HE Ko-Hi-Nur is published bi-weekly by the journalism class. Journalism is a very practical course because every member of the class gets experience in writing. The Ko-Hi-Nur staff has had a successful year under the capable direction of Miss Waller and the cooperation of Mr. Butcher and his printing class. The Ko-Hi-Nur pays for itself through advertising and the amount received from the student body for subscription of its members. We have forty advertisers, an increase over last year. The advertising manager, Orville Veach, has very efficiently held his position on the staff for two years. Many valuable suggestions from other schools are obtained through our exchange department. Our exchanges number seventy, including those from many parts of the United States, one from Hawaii and one from Alaska. Editor-In-Chief . . . Helen Henneuse News Editor . . .

A. |HE Girls’ Athletic Association was organized about four years ago. I The purpose of this organization is: “To promote better health, sportsmanship, friendship, and cooperation among the girls of our school.” The G. A. A. has a system of points and awards for its members. One hundred points are necessary for membership. The girls who earn five hundred points receive a letter and those who earn a thousand points have their names engraved on a plaque. Every mem- ber of a winning team in the interclass tournament of any sport gets her class numerals. In previous years it has been the custom of the girls to have a play day with the girls of the other schools in the Tri-County League. This year there were four such days, a play day for every major sport during its season. The girls enjoy these days of sport with the other schools. Just before school closes a G. A. A. banquet is given for the members. At this time letters and numerals are awarded and the officers for the coming year are installed. At the time of publication of this book the 1931 banquet has not been arranged but the girls are looking forward to an enjoyable affair. This year class numerals were won by the sophomore team in basketball, the sophomore team in hockey and the junior team in volleyball. The thousand point girls are Evalyn Roberds, Phyllis Hill, Vivian Peeler, Harriette Hall, Helen Walker and Helen Henneuse. This year ' s officers were: Phyllis Hill— President; Helen Walker— Vice-Presi- dent; Suzanne Gould — Secretary and Treasurer. — Suzanne Gould. thirty-four DEBATING HANKS to Mr. Bishop, our new debating coach, the year 1930-31 marks one of the most successful debating seasons Corona High School has had in a long time. The interest shown by the students for debating was far greater than last year. The great- est interest displayed, was shown in the keen rivalry between the juniors and seniors, the latter winning a close decision over the juniors in the interclass debates. Our school teams made a good record this year. The results achieved in the Citrus Belt League were excellent. In the first debate of the year, “Resolved, that the five day working week should be adopted by all industries,” Helen Knoll and Harry Whitcomb met and defeated Riverside Polytechnic High School while Vivian Peeler and Carol Cunningham, upholding the negative side of the question, journeyed to Pomona and lost to a strong team from that school. The second, and last question to be debated for the year was: Resolved, that intra-mural athletics should replace inter-scholastic athletics in high schools.” This time Patricia Mahoney and Harry Whitcomb on the affirmative received the decision over Covina; and the negative, upheld by Vivian Peeler and Donald Smith lost to Chaffey High. The season closed with Corona High winning one half of her debates. Following the close of our debate season, our promising young freshmen debators held a series of two debates with the Colton Freshmen. The affirmative team, Winniefae McKown and Ruth Ely lost while Vincent Shank and Allan Lannom, upholding the negative were successful in their debate. Looking toward next year — our prospects are very promising. We will have seven experienced debators back and with a little work and the support of the Student Body we hope to reach the top of the league. - — Donald Smith. thirty-five THE ORCHESTRA ROGRESS, both individual and ensemble, has been highly satis- factory, when we consider that this year’s class as a whole was quite untrained in style, method of study and musical refinement. Of course, from the instrumental standpoint the orchestra is somewhat unbalanced, owing to the lack of instruments like the double, or string bass, ’cello viola, oboe, trombone, French horn or melophone, bassoon, etc., which if they were present, would soften and balance the tone color. At present the High School has not supplied these missing instruments, and the substitutes, like piano, barytone, tuba, etc., give a tone color approaching the brass band. We hope to have a large rehearsal room, especially provided with all orchestra and band equipment, for our own special use, next season. I am personally quite proud of the personnel and achievement of our band and orchestra, and hope the enrollment will be continually increased from year to year. — E. A. Franklin. THE RED AND WHITE SEXTET The Red and White Sextet has made a name for itself during its three years of High School. In the Freshman year it was found as a Sextet con- sisting of Tyler Thompson, First Tenor; Berlyn Brockman and Albert McCurdy as Second Tenors, while Kenneth Coville and Marvin Johnson sang First Bass and Donald Emerson sang Second Bass. During their sophomore year, they appeared as a Quartet with Tyler Thompson singing First Tenor; Albert McCurdy, Second Tenor; Berlyn Brockman as First Bass and Marvin Johnson, Second Bass. During the past year, their appearances have been as a Sextet again with Loyd Sherwood as First Tenor; Tyler Thompson and Albert McCurdy, Second Tenors; Marvin Johnson as First Bass and Berlyn Brockman and Elbridge Wallace on the Second Bass end. They have sung in Riverside, Corona and outlying districts and have ap- peared before numerous school organizations and assemblies. Future laurels for this group will be made during their Senior year. — Marvin Johnson. — Loyd Sherwood. thirty-seven HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT N the east side of our beautiful campus, a wonderful structure is situated. Within, one will find carried on the developing of American citizens through the instruction in the essentials needed in making worthy homes for the coming generation. We find that health is one of the most outstanding princi- ples of a good citizen. A clean body aids a clean mind. No body can be healthy if it is fed improperly. We are taught not only to prepare foods but also what foods are best for maintaining health. Leisure time seems to be a problem of members of this school. Another score for this class is that we learn to make our leisure moments ones of golden opportunity, by developing abilities to cook, to make our clothes and to beautify our nomp.Q J What could be of more benefit than the study of positions offered to young women who are willing and efficient? We learn of these opportunities in this class Cooperation is the fundamental of building a nation, club or home.

LEMONVILLE IGHT o’clock, May 1st — an evening long anticipated had arrived. The operetta, “The Count and the Co-ed,” was on. The curtain rose on a colorful scene. Girls of Marden College were making flower chains for the May Festival to be given that evening. With them was Dolly McSpadden (Patricia Creech) the charming daughter of the College President. With her were Amy (Mary Sullivant) a comely junior, and Birdie (Irma Lytle) and Babe innocent freshmen. They were waiting eagerly the coming of the festival when Hamilton Hunter (Tyler Thompson) entered. He was searching for Marjorie Blackwood (Winifred Sutter). Needless to say — he found her. Following him, entered Mark Watson (Marvin Johnson) and Sleepy Carter (John Ganahl). Following them in great haste came Snooze Andrews (Joseph Landon). He persuaded them to hide him from the approaching traffic cop, played by Forest Black. From then on things moved rapidly. We found that President McSpadden (Wilson Briggs) was very much wor- ried over his failure to gain an endowment fund fcr the college. However, his wife (Madeline Clark) encouraged him to try to enlist the aid of a count who was to be a visitor at the evening’s festivities. Snooze, in his efforts to avoid the traffic cop, donned a disguise. The Presi- dent mistook him for the count and complications arose. Evalyn Roherds, as the house mother, pursued the supposed count relent- lessly. Mr. and Mrs. McSpadden in their efforts to enlist his aid did likewise. Snooze eventually gave way under this strain and confessed all. At this moment a letter arrived from the count with a $50,000 check for aid rendered by Snooze in repairing his car that morning. The President could only forgive Snooze who happily carried off Dolly. — Carol Cunningham. thirty-nine THE SENIOR PLAY HE seniors are no longer superstitious, for Friday, March 13, proved to be a day long to be remembered by that class. On that date the senior class play, “The Patsy,” which stands out as one of the real dramatic triumphs of the school year, was presented. Its clever repartee, its engaging plot and its manner of presentation combined to make a pleasant evening for the hundreds of students and friends of the school. The play dealt with the troubles of a younger sister (Harriette Hall), of a beautiful, but spoiled belle (Jeanette Toolen). The head of the house (A1 Chapin) was a typical salesman who resented the pampering of the elder daughter by his wife (Carol Cunningham) whose mind was filled with nothing save social aspira- tions. The two suitors for the girls’ hands were well meaning, good-looking young Americans (Allan Haines and Monte Nutter). Patricia, the younger sister, was hefnended by a good-hearted individual, Mr. O’Flaherty (Earl Martin), while Trip Busty (Louis Curtis) was the “hard boiled taxi driver, and Helen Knoll was Sadie Buchanan. of th„ T °, Mi8S ™ Uler ’ instructor in dramatics, is due much credit for the success y ' aWy aS8isted b - v Miss McDougald, and the members of the und r ZZ 0m ' C t S eP f ar , tment Wh ° had Char e of costuming.

Its purpose is to study the value of art in our lives and to appreciate the artistic qualities of the applied arts. The social event that was held during the first semester was a costume party given at the home of Miss Aline Cates, December 5. Prizes were given to the ones having the best costumes. First prize was given to Miss Youngstrom, who was dressed in a Chinese costume. Harold Rawson had the honor of receiving the prize for being dressed like a “Hick from the Middle West.” The Christmas colors were used for decorations. An interesting trip was taken by the members of Ye Artists’ Corner to the Huntington Library and Art Gallery at San Marino on March 21. The famous paintings were very delightful to the students. The Japanese Gardens and the Mausoleum were enjoyed. A short play is to be given later in the year entitled, “The Filming of Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” by Ye Artists’ Comer members. The officers that helped make this club a great success were: FIRST SEMESTER Dale McCue Roswell Huff Dorothea Lehman Aline Cates Harold Rawson OFFICERS . President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Sergeant of Arms SECOND SEMESTER Iola Russell Earl Martin Ina Rawson Eddie Martin John Guffey forty one THE SCRIBES HE SCRIBES” is a name chosen by a group of students composing the writers club. These people meet regularly during advisory each Monday for the purpose of studying literary composition. Once a month a special evening meeting is held in the home of one of the club members. Under the supervision of Miss Mitchell, the students have produced poems, short stories, plots, incidents, and biographies, the work showing merit, and in some cases — a genuine gift for writing. The membership in the club is limited to those students, who through their writing, have proved themselves worthy. There is a routine procedure followed in deciding this. One must submit an original manuscript to a committe of teachers. If it is approved, the author is invited to join. The officers are elected for the term of one semester. During the first half of the year, Mary Bender was chosen leader; during the second, Catherine Ashworth assumed leadership. Each ‘‘scrihe” writes under a nom-de-plume, the name of his favorite author “ f ° ,l0WS: Mary Bender -Gene Stratton Porter; Rosalie chL PyS: Catherine Ashworth — Mary R. Rinehart; Naomi Bur- chael!

COMMERCIAL CLUB HE Commercial Club was reorganized this year under the guid- ance of Miss Wright, one of the Commercial teachers. Frances Culp was elected president; Evelyn Parker, vice-president; Helen Walker, secretary; Donald Carruth, treasurer; Inez Doty and Wilma Thomas, program chairmen. In addition to these officers, an executive body of fourteen councilmen was chosen. The club and commercial department are governed by a Constitution which contains rules for the student self-government which is practiced in the commercial classes. Responsibility is placed on the students under this plan in order to promote more interest in the work. The purpose of the club is to develop business interests in school life and to learn some of the essential elements of the commercial world. The club meets once a week in the auditorium. Members participate at every meeting, expressing ideas of their own which benefit the rest of the club. Much hidden talent is discovered through these talks by the members. In this way self-confidence is gained. Several outside speakers have given instructional talks on business life and training. There is a total enrollment of seventy members in the club. The general department meeting, which meets the third Thursday of each month, has a total enrollment of one hundred forty students. The general meeting consists of all students taking commercial subjects in the school. To those commercial students who are cluh members, the organization has proved most beneficial in developing executive abilities, general business knowledge and right habits of thinking and acting. — Frances Culp. forty-three LAS PANTERAS HIS is the second year of the Spanish Club and its members have carried on the work begun last year in a successful manner. The club includes the second and third year classes, the Spanish speaking students and the first year students who have had two years of some other language. The organization is largely social and by informal means tries to acquaint the members with the Spanish language and customs. This year we are going farther afield than we did last year. We have gone to the picturesque Mexican Olvera street in Los Angeles. While we were visiting this street, we also went to see an all-talking Spanish picture, “Monsieur La Fox.” Then we returned to Olvera Street and had a typical Mexican dinner with tacos, enchiladas and dulces, which were all very delicious, even though “picante.” Another time we went to the Mission Inn and we are planning to see the Ramona pageant that is given annually at Hemet. Various speakers talk to us in Spanish on Spanish speaking countries. One speaker who was exceedingly interesting was Mr. Lewis, who told us about South America and showed various films of his travels. Senor Delgado, who has taught in the Mexican schools, talked to the club on Mexico, and Sra. Mendez spoke to us at another club meeting. The following are the officers for the year 1930-31: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Advisor Isabelle Rawls Eugene Mickel Raymond Atzet . Abe Klein . Miss Taylor forty-four — Isabelle Rawls. GIRL RESERVE CLUB ]HE Girl Reserve Club is a branch of the Y. W. C. A. and was organized during the year of 1930-31. The club meets every Mon- day during advisory period. The girls have enjoyed parties at the homes of the different members during the year. Each girl brought a friend who was interested in Girl Reserve work. The parties were very enjoyable. Each member of the club dressed dolls which were given to the poor children at Christmas time. They also made scrap books for two small boys who are sick in bed with tuberculosis and a girl who was bedfast. The officers of the club are as follows: President, Ada Ashcroft; Secretary and Treasurer, Frances Spencer. Miss Waller has been willing at all times to work with the girls in order to make the club a success. Every girl who joins the club tries to live up to the code which follows: As a Girl Reserve I will be — Gracious in manner. Impartial in judgment, Ready for service, Loyal to friends, Reaching towards the best, Ever dependable, Seeing the beautiful, Reverent to God, Victorious over self and Eager for knowledge. — Ada Ashcroft. forty-five HLY CLUB NE of the most outstanding clubs in Corona High School this year has been the Hi-Y, a club organized to “create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character.” The club has a motto which every boy desiring membership must be able to repeat and live up to: “Clean living, clean speech, clean sports and clean scholarship.” It is the purpose of the club to show those becoming members just how important a matter it is to live up to the club’s standards. The Hi-Y is composed of nearly twenty-five members. This number includes Mr. Bishop, the advispr who has probably done more in getting the club on its feet than anyone else, and who deserves a great deal of credit for his efforts. The meeting ' s which are held every two weeks consist of a meal which is usually prepared by the ladies of the various churches of Corona. This is followed by a short program consisting of music or a speaker, and a round table discussion on different problems. Several of the members have attended conferences during the year. One of the most outstanding was the Older Boys’ Conference held in San Diego. President Wilson Briggs Vice-President .... Jack Woodward Secretary Walter Reed Treasurer Loyd Sherwood Advisor Frank Bishop — Wilson Briggs. forty-six MUSIC CLUB “It’s the songs ye sing and the smiles ye wear, That’s a-makin’ the sunshine everywhere.”— Riley. HIS is the first year the Music Club has really been organized; that is, the first time it has had a definite number of members, and a definite time and place to meet. In previous years it has existed in name only, and though it had officers they did not have much work because there was not much to do. Little was accomplished; in fact, few outsiders knew of its existence. The club has chosen to call itself the “Allegro Trouba- dours.” The officers are as follows: President, Wilson Briggs; Secretary, Joseph Landon; Club Program Chairman, Irma Lytle; Assembly Program Chairman, Eloise Gist. The program chairman arranges a program for each meeting. It usually consists of selections, either vocal or instrumental, and occasionally a reading or talk by the members of the club. Visitors arc welcome, and are sometimes included on the program. These entertainments are always enjoyed by both the listeners and par- ticipants. It proves very beneficial to those who take part because it teaches them to be more at ease before audiences. It is the duty of the assembly program chairman to arrange a program to be given for the Music Department, which is composed of the students in school who take any form of music for credit, whether within or outside the school. An attempt is made to obtain talent outside school, but if unsuccessful, some of the students in the cluh fill in. The club has been very successful and much of it has been due to the advisor, Miss Mary G. Brown. The “Allegro Troubadours” have made many appear- ances before the student body, service clubs, church organizations, junior high and elementary schools. — Eloise Gist. forty seven ARCHERY CLUB HE Archery Club has about twenty members. Its purpose is whole- some enjoyment of outdoor sport. The progress of this cluh has been slow, due to inadequate equipment. STAMP AND COIN CLUB The purpose of the Stamp and Coin Cluh is to study and collect the stamps and coins of all nations.” The officers of the club are: Robert Shank, President; and Helen Knoll, Secretary. One of the best liked features is the semi-monthly auction where each member may sell his stamps to the other members. MODEL AIRPLANE CLUB The Model Airplane Club has eighteen members. The boys and their sponsor, Mr. Lamb, huild model airplanes and gliders during their club period. Their patterns are furnished them by the Los Angeles Times Playground Association. THE GARDEN CLUB The purpose of the Garden Club is to teach its members the names of the plants that are grown in this vicinity and to arrange an artistic garden. The members of the club visit some of the pretty gardens in town and they spent one Saturday at the Huntington Library and gardens in Pasadena. CAMERA CLUB The officers of the Camera Club are: Louis Curtis, President; Orthelle Yokeley, Secretary; Betty Francisco, Treasurer. The members are studying the Eastman kodak book, “How to Make Good Pictures.” The club is divided into two sides, the blue and gold. They are making picture albums and pin hole cameras. ASTRONOMY CLUB The Astronomy Club is one of several organizations that is endeavoring to help the students find the thing in which they are interested. Some of the students have made trips to the observatory at Pomona College. There are about twenty-five students in this club, representing all four classes. DINNER BELLES CLUB The Dinner Belles Club has been very active and has proved to be a source of pleasure as well as of learning to its members. At Christmas time clever gifts were made and many new ideas were gathered. Illustrated talks and round table discussions on etiquette have been interesting and beneficial to each member, forty-eight CLASS A FOOTBALL OOTBALL in Corona High School as in most other high schools is its most popular sport. From the beginning of the 1930 season to its end excitement and interest was great. The tri-County football season opened for Corona on October 17. The desert town, Victorville, played at Corona defeating C. H. S. The score was, Victorville 20, Corona 7. The next team met was Colton, one of the league’s strongest teams. Again ill-luck followed the Crimson and Gold, the final score being Colton 24, Corona 0. On October 31, Claremont and Corona met. The home-team did some splendid work but seemed unable to keep its opponents from scoring. Final score: Clare- mont 34, Corona 13. Bonita was the fourth league team played. The Panthers, nothing daunted by their earlier defeats, strove gallantly against their opponents. Final score: Bonita 34, Corona 6. One week later the team met the league champions, Chino, in the last league game of the year. Final score: Chino 45, Corona 0. LINE-UP POSITION PLAYERS Ends . .... Mickle, H.

The first game of the season was played with Colton, the final score being Colton 13, Corona 12. On October 30, Claremont proved easy prey for the Light- weights, being unable to score against a lead of 36 points made by Corona. The next team met was Bonita, one of the league’s strong- est teams and later the contender with Corona, for the league championship. Final score, Corona 6, Bonita, 0. Corona s next opponent was Chino. This was a very hard fought game but again C. H. S. was victor, the final score being C. H. S. 13, Chino 7. At the conclusion of the season it was discovered that Colton, Bonita and Corona were tied for league honors. Colton forfeited her rights so the decision rested between Corona and Bonita. The deciding game was held on November 21, on the Chino athletic field. There was great rejoicing at its outcome. Corona was the champion. Final score — Corona 20, Bonita 13.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL F a popular vote were taken, basketball would undoubtedly be chosen as the most popular girls’ sport in school this year. This enthusiastic spirit was demonstrated by the large number of girls out for practice and competition throughout the season. The captains of the class teams deserve much credit for their work in managing their respective teams. They were : Freshmen Ruby Smith Sophomores .... Rowena Robles Juniors .... Corinne Masterson Seniors Mary Sullivant The all-school team, Heavyweight, of which Evalyn Roberds was captain, was chosen from the various class teams. It might be interesting to say here, that the whole senior class team made the all-school Heavyweight team. The best game of the season was played at Elsinore. Corona Heavyweights coming out on the long end of 3-2 score. The Lightweights school team, captained by Margaret Vaughn won their game with Elsinore by a large margin. The memhers of the all-school team were: Helen Walker, Mary Sullivant, Evalyn Roberds, Harriette Hall, Corinne Masterson, Juanita Shadle, Vivian Peeler, Phyllis Hill, Verda Morrell and Sylvia Perrin. — Harriette Hall. fifty-one BOYS 1 BASKETBALL HE members of Coach Thome’s class A basketball team this year were George Fink, Eugene Mickel, Frank Haueter, A1 Chapin, John Krick, Frank Ortiz and Jean Shelley. The boys were rather unsuccessful in the Tri-County League this year, winning only two of the six games played. They did, however, win the school championship after a hard struggle with the class B team.

HOCKEY S in years past, great enthusiasm was shown in Girls’ Hockey. In fact, hockey was by far the most popular girls’ sport. More underclassmen reported for practice and competition than juniors and seniors. New equipment for each girl of last year’s school team added much to the enjoyment of playing and added ma- terially to the development of a more efficient team as a whole. Inter-class competition was keen, and the game scores were very low, indicating an enthusiastic and competitive spirit throughout the groups. At the close of the season it was found that the sophomores were the victors, thus winning their class numerals, ’33. The members of the All-School team are chosen from those on the different class teams. Because of the number of girls to choose from, and the abilities dis- played hy each, it was difficult to choose the following All-School team: Left wing Vivian Peeler Left inside .... Evalyn Roberds Center forward .... Phyllis Hill Right inside .... Harriette Hall Right wing . . Juanita Shadle (Capt.) Right half .... Helen Walker Center half .... Mary Sullivant Left half .... Frances Aldama Right full .... Ruth Brockman Left full Elaine Patton Goal guard . Irma Lytle, Dorothy Walker — Harriette Hall. fifty- four BOYS’ BASEBALL NE of the largest groups for any one sport reported for baseball. As the majority of the aspirants came from the two lower classes, the squad was composed, for the most part, of inexper- ienced players. This, of course, will materially aid the future C. H. S. baseball teams as only one letter man will be lost be- c ause of graduation. SCHEDULE Schedule Played : Score 1. Chino (at Corona) . . 2. Barstow (at Colton) . . . Barstow 9, Corona 8 3.

The senior class did not even have enough people out to make a team. The other three classes had enough to make up their team membership, but the spirit which goes to make a sport beneficial and enjoyable was lacking. The people who did report for practice deserve a great deal of credit for their interest and faithfulness. Phyllis Hill, baseball manager, did her part to get the girls out as did the class captains: Junior Helen Stewart Sophomore .... Verda Morrell Freshmen Lucille Page The following school team, which was entirely honorary, was chosen, not on ability displayed in practice but on ability displayed in years past: Frances Chambers Helen Warner Marjorie Hicks Emogene Morrow Helen Henneuse Isabel Rawls Margaret Vaughn Inez Doty Dexie Ramey Corinne Masterson Phyllis Hill (Capt.) Blanche Stark Juanita Shadle — Harriette Hall. fifty-six BOYS’ TRACK [E Corona High track and field squad of 1931, after a strenuous season of training first went into action against Elsinore. The team took this meet with a fairly good margin in points. We next met the Riverside sophomore track men, and again came out ahead. The “big meet of the year” was next on the sched- ule — the Tri-County Track Meet which is held annually on the Colton oval. The Corona High spikesters turned in a much better record in this Tri-County Meet than in years past. Twenty-three and three- fourths points were scored by Corona men, which is the biggest score we have run up in a number of years. Colton took first place in the meet with 86 points; Corona took second with 23% points and Claremont took third with 22 points. Outstanding Corona representatives in this meet were: Ganahl, who took the 440 in 51.3 seconds; Nutter, who turned in a time of 2.11 seconds in the 880; Standiford who went to 5 feet 10 inches in the high jump. The other men on the squad all showed up well against this stiff competition. At the Riverside Invitational Meet, Corona men set three new records. Ganahl in the 440 with a time of 51.3; Nutter took the 880 in 2.11; while Standi- ford set the new record of 5 feet 10 inches in the high jump. The next meet was at Chaffey, but we lost it by four points. Outstanding men on the squad are: Ganahl Standiford Nugent Kilday 440 high jump pole vault shot . 51.3 . 5 ft. 10 in. Class C broke Class A League record, 10 ft. 6 in. school record 46 ft. 6% in. — Harriette Hall. fifty-seven GIRLS’ TRACK WING to unsatisfactory weather conditions no league competition has been held in girls’ track. However the inter-class competi- tion was close and interesting. The events in the inter-class meet were goal throw, hurdles, broad jump, dash and baseball throw. In the dash Verda Morrell and Sylvia Perrin tied for first place with Margaret Vaughn second. In the baseball throw Helen Stewart made an excellent record of 157 feet, 8 inches. Sylvia Perrin took second with a throw of 138 feet 10 inches. Corinne Masterson made 26 in the goal throw and Allie Belle Sparkman made 24 to take second place. Verda Morrell ran the hurdles in 8 seconds flat with Margaret Vaughn coming in a close second. Margaret Vaughn again took first place in the broadjump, jumping 14 feet 4 inches; 13 feet 8 inches took second, made by Helen Stewart. The sophomores won the meet with 26 points. The juniors took second with 10 points. Seniors took third with 3 points. Margaret Vaughn was high point girl in the meet, scoring 14 The following toe bership of school team: Mary Bender Gail Darrow Verda Morrell Emogene Morrow Irene Pate Sylvia Perrin — Harriette Hall. of the 26 points made. t places in the inter-class meet entitling them to a mem- Arvilla Krick Rena Ewing Viola Paynter Della Dunbar Helen Stewart Juanita Shade Edna Mae Thomas Frances Chambers Rowena Robles Ina Rawson Allie Belle Sparkman Margaret Vaughn fifty-eight TENNIS ORONA High School boys’ tennis team has been champion of the Tri-County League for two consecutive years, while the girls ' team has held that honor ever since they entered league compe- tition. The boys’ schedule was not a hard one, Chino being the only team that showed any real competition. They took the tournament easily enough by a score of 3-2, losing only first singles. This match went to three sets. Bonita was next on schedule and again we won 4-1, this time losing second singles, which was a three set match. Claremont was easily beaten by a score of 5-0. Colton is next in line and is not going to be hard to take. At the beginning of the season, the boys played Riverside and Orange in practice tournaments, winning both easily. It is difficult to choose between the first five players, but Walter Blair won the Birdsall cup last year and is slated to do so again. The girls’ season has been equally successful even though they didn’t play a league schedule. They met and defeated during the season three of the prominent Citrus Belt contenders for the title, Pomona, San Bernardino and Riverside, the champions of the Citrus Belt League. This year’s girls’ team is the strongest as a whole that has ever represented C. H. S., but we had no really outstanding players. Corona High entries should win first and second place in both boys’ and girls’ sin gles and doubles in the Southern California semi-finals which will be held at Claremont May 16. There will be only eight players lost to the squads by graduation. Herbert Smith and Orville Veach from the boys and Phyllis Hill, Evelyn Roberds, Harriette Hall, Vivian Peeler, Alma Conlee and Frances Spencer from the girls. Next year’s prospects are very good and another championship will probably be the reward. - — Harriette Hall. fifty-nine VOLLEYBALL ECAUSE volleyball is not a major sport it does not excite as much interest and enthusiasm among the girls. However those girls who do play on the teams enjoy themselves very much. The interclass games were played off during the noon-hours. Many girls who otherwise could not have competed because they go home on the busses, in this way got a chance to play. The contests were all very interesting and exciting, espe- cially the game between the sophomores and the juniors. Both teams played very hard games, but the contest finally ended with the score in favor of the juniors. Emogene Morrow, the school volleyball manager, deserves much credit for her work. Members of the all school team were: Eva Blackman Annie Clark Inez Doty Corinne Masterson The class captains were: Seniors Juniors Sophomores Freshmen Sport Manager Emogene Morrow Margaret Vaughn (Capt.) Opal Ruth Emma Herkelrath Edna Mae Thomas . . Inez Doty Margaret Brockman . Irene Pate Emogene Morrow Margaret Brockman Edna Mae Thomas Frances Chambers Helen Johnson — Harriette Hall. sixty JOKES Chick: Some acids are much stronger than others.
