George V Scoville, first Alumnus of Corona H’gh School, was the only graduate in tlie class of His many friends were grieved to hear of h ' s death this winter. Corona Senior High School is exttemelv fortunate in having a BOARD of EDUCA- TION whose sole object ve. in formulating the policy of our school, is to do that which in their op ' nion, is for the good of the students and the community as a whole. Reading from left to right are Dr. L. Hi- Brown. Mr. Rannev. Mrs. Newsome — Clerk Mr. Fullenwider — President, Mr.Burchfield and Superintendent Frank Bishop. Dr. Brown replaced Mr. Howard Hall who was forced to resign due to the press of business. Superintendent Frank Bishop whom we will always remem- ber, not only as a school admin- istrator but as a friend, is per- haps one of the busiest men in Corona. His busy hours in his office are supplemented by his many community activities such ais the Coordinating- Council, church work. Lions Club and numerous civic committees. He is also a member of the River- side County Board of Educa- tion. The efficiencv of his office is partly due to bis office force pictured below. It consists of Mrs. Sheldon, Mrs. Wheiler and Miss Gould. Principal Dale I. GNck, has now l een with us for two year.; and has proven by his every act that our first impression of him was correct. Never before has there been more harmony among- the teachers. Teacher- pupil relat ' ons and Adminis- tration-teacher relations are such that we have been able to accomplish more under his leadership in every phase of our school life than ever be- fore.

Even though we weren’t little green freshmen” the seniors still had the privilege of initiating us as sophomores. tlier than something in the order of a punish- ment. H ith all of our well known talented stu- dents and our ever growing enthusiasm, a lot was expected from our class. I might add that as far as l know, no one has been dissaoointed diich turned out to be fun for everyone, ra- vet. Art Lee Charles McGregor William Bryant Gale Bratten Albert Lunetta Everest Brownfield Lusher Lopez Frank Justis Eileen Jewell Reba Cleveland Charlotte Friestad Jackie Joy Betty Wilson Jesus Cervantes Elma Skinner Pres. Girl’s League In organizing our class, we selected a very able cabinet made up of Forrest Jones, prexy ; Wilma Amaon, vice-prexy; Elma Skinner sec- retary-treasure; and Shan McDonald and Philip Newhouse as representatives to the stu- dent body executive board. We owe a great de-’l of our success to these few students who took care of our class problems. As a whole the sophys were well represent- ed in most all school activities. We had alxiut seventeen girls join the G-A.A. Out of these Philip Newhouse Charles Borden Merle A ' len Garden Rathbone Ruby Goode and Faye Cockn n recieved their letters. We were very proud of Martin Renfro, George “Terror” Pauly, Kenny Kuster, irg 1 Olson and Neal Snipes who became varsitv football members when only sopho- mores. Everett Shinogee proved to he the up and coming basketball star — which he is. I here were quite a few boys running the sen- iors a hard race in both track and baseball. Many of the gills showed a great deal of in- terest in Girl Reserves as did Forrest Jones, Forrest Jones Thomas Townsend Everett Shinogee Neal Snipes Gale Bratten Mary Jean Anderson Wilma Amaon Lana Lee Fife President Hi-Y Helen Murray Alice Newton Dorothy Welt Gale Bratten, Manley Cole, Ted and Jim Todd and Gordon Rathbone in Hi-Y. Lead bv Gale Bratten and assisted by Manley Cole. Neal Snii es and Alice Newton, we found our-selves being- called upper class- men at tbe beginn ng of our junior year. Our fir t and one of tbe most important activities was tbe presentation of the junior play. We presented “The Late Christopher Bean” a three-act mvstery play. Everest Brownfield, Rosemary Tipton, Eileen Jewell and Shan Louie Muratore Lyle Pa e Richard Murphy Orville Lucas McDonald deserve special praise for their ex- cellent character acting. George Pauly, Neal Snipes, Eleanor McGuffie and Alice Newton are also credited for their assistance in making the play such a success. Faye Cochran one of our best girl atheletes, became vice-president of the G.A.A. also several other girls were chosen for managers. Harry Higgins, Eddy Hearn, Calv ' n ‘‘Red” Gibson. Leonard Sulli- vant and Art Cantu were added to the list of varsity football members. Roland Schmidt Colbert Macias Paul Fredericks Harry Higgins Dorothy Benstead Marvel Maxwell E’eanor McGuffie Dauriee Thcrnton Molly Jo Warrell Anita Plies Wilma Amaon and Jesus Cervantes pro- ved their popularity when elected to the Girls’ League cabinate. Dorothy Dillon and Alice Newton were the juniors on the Girl Reser- ves cabinet. The last of our junior year was spent in the preparation of the annual jun- ior-senior banquet. Due to a number of con- flicts, we were rather dubious as to how suc- cessful our banquet would be, but desp ' te this the banquet proved to he one of the best in its history. It was held at the Los Serranas George Pauly Austin Welt B? Rampling Bill Bolin Eileen Jewell Secretary S. B. Club with } mmy Nelson as Toast- Country master. As seniors with Bill Searcy at the head, we feel that the class of ’40 has a right to feel proud of itself. Our student body pres- ident, Forrest Jones assisted by Wilma A- niaon, vice president; Eileen Jewell, secretary and Dorothv Dillon, treasure have left a re- cord as officers that will be hard to equal. Charles Bright and Bill Bolin did noblv for both the school and our class in the Ernest Mitchell La Vern Trubv Clyde Morrow Jack Farmer v v- §; i Ed Hearn Dorothy Dillon President Letter-men ' s Club Marcella. Shrode Marjorie Smith Twila Roe Helen Hamilton Jean Fifefield Bernardino Valley and the C- B- L- debate tournaments- The outstanding football play- ers for the vear were; captain Harry Hig- gins, Eddy Hearn, Virg ' l Olson, Neal Snipes, George Paulv and Kenny Kustcr. Even though our basketball teams were not quite as triumphant as might he, the school is great- ful to R ' chaid Murphy, Everett Shinogee, Neal Snipes and Steve Crippen. The high school put on the operetta, “P nafore,” in which many senior boys and girls sang. In seeing the school year come to a close with all the senior activities and last but not least, commencement. I’m sure I can say for all the seniors that our gocxl old high school days are not to be forgotten- We salute our Dear old Alma Mater!

Bill Searcy, leave mv leadership ab ' litv to Arthur Panes. Maybe he can do more with it than J did. CLASS PROPHECY Two of your promising young senior girls have just discovered that they are gifted with the almost miraculous power of foreseeing the future. After some coaxing for the amazement ( or amusement as the case may he) for the class of 1940, Charlotte Friestad and Rettv Anne Cunning present the prophecy of the senior class of 1940 in 1950. Mary Jeanne Anderson is seen making “little things’’ for the future addition to “Dan’s Dairy.” Between th ; s and teaching Dan Jr. the finer points of dairy farming Jerry is qiute the busy little woman these days. Tom Townsend is still hanging around C-H.S. not because he didn’t make the grade (or grades, as it were,) but he still thinks that Oklahoma could beat Missouri in any football game, and he is still haunt ; ng Mr. Hancock’s history classes trying to get Charlie to het on the coming game between these ill- ustrious institutions of learning. Cameraman, Brownfield is in the news again. My! My! Everest won’t you ever learn? It seems that “Brownie” is being sued by those famous fan dancers-blonde, brilliant, benevalent, and brunette Bessie Smith. Thev insist that our ace photographer shouldn’t have taken those moves of their act Prado’s Pink Poodle night club the other night. Dorothy Benstead is trying to reform “Dangerous” Bob Luxton and her own broth- er Jack “Public Enemy No. 7” Benstead, who are in hiding out in the Green River district. Dorothy has really done wonders with her social welfare work. Green River isn’t the place it used to be at all. No longer do they serve the Demon Root Beer at the bars, but chocolate milk in its place. That charming belle from down South, Daurice Thornton has established the Charm School For Girls. Her most ardent •enthusiast is Molly Jo Warrell, who thinks that her newly acquired southern drawl is ‘‘simply charming” and “extremely fascinating. “Jtteibug Harold Weddington is still “truckin’ on down” as the prexy of Prado Tech. Two Corona graduates grace his fac- ulty. Richard Cervantes, track star in his younger days, is now coach. Charles Bright, famed orator, is now a professor of the nth degree-his nr st popular class being his teach- ings on “The Love Life of a Louse- Guess what those Fisher brothers, Eugene and Weslev are doing! We see them at the annual Tiddlev Winks Tournament between Prado Tech and The Charm School For Gills, of all th’ngs selling peanuts, pop corn, candy, cracker jacks, gum and soda pop. Bill Bohn and Gale Bratten are trying the divorce case of the year. It seems that Mis. Gordon Rathbone-Dorothy Welt is sueing her handsome hubby, “Glamour Boy Gordon the Rat Poison King, for divorce and naming Marvel Maxwell as correspondent. It seems too bad to break up a happy home. At Chet Billman’s night spot, the 1 rocorona we see beau-brummel, Alfred bish, completely a gentleman of the world, in soup and fish, with a gardenia in his lapel- Alfred was es- corting fetching Frances Randalls and jub- ilant jean Fifield, the most popular “debs” of the year. Durng his vacation from his position as chief hash slinger at Jack Robertson’s Jive Inn, Orville Lucas thrills many of the younger generation at the Pomona Fair in an exh bi- tion of safe and sane motorcycling. The barker for this nopular side show is none other than that well known deep-vo.ced debater, Gilbeit Macias. Arnold Henson, the talkative, is compet- ing with Gilbert in this progressive business, as he announces for the Can-Can Chorus made up of Reha Cleveland, Faye Cockran, Betty Brooks, and Ruby Goode. The boys tell us that Faye has the shapliest legs; Reba the most luxurious eve lashes ; Betty the most beautiful hair; and they call Ruby “luscious lips.” Our guess is that the girls don’t stand around waiting for dates these n ghts. Louie Muratore has been hired to act as the genial host at a cafe m Fisherman’s hart formerly owned by Joe DiMaggio, and to give this place even more “oomph” Lana Lee Fife serves as the “Cute Little Hat Check Girl. Showing that something g xxl can come from Norco. Virgil Olson has assumed the duties of print shop instructor at C.S-H-S. and spends many sleepless nights worrying about the 1955 Coronal. Glen DeBeal shows great prospects in prize fighting perhaps in the heavy weight division. Probably his toughest encounter will occur soon when he is scheduled to “take on” Char- les “Fat” Borden at the new arena in Starva- tion Acres, which is owned by Luther Lopez. Helen Hamilton, better known as “Chatt- erbox’’ in high school days is now on the rad : o as Patsy Plague. Her act is somewhat like the old timer wh’ch was conducted by Vera Vague. Following Patsy’s programme Charles McGregor comes on advertising Rathbone’s Rat Poison as a cure for all pain, and gives a few news events on the side. At present Charles is spending his vacat on aboard the yacht of the Wine King, Ernest Mitchell. Ernie as you all know is quite a playboy, suave and sophisticated. Bill Barber and DeWayne Broneman are joint owners of the newly built lodge atop Chocolate Drop that well-known mountain just south of Corona. This resort is fast be- coming popular for its winter sports and is rapidly out-doing Sun Valley. Steve Crippen, as general instructor is having a difficult time in securing a large class as his accident in his junior year lingers in the memories of many of his classmates. I he mansion belonging to Carol “Mickey Rooney” Heers has replaced the beacon on Norco Hill and really sparkles with night life. Most recent of his guests were that renowned interior decorator, Eleanor McGuffie and the year’s Sensation Girl, Anne “Sheridan” McDonald. On the time-worn curb at the corner of Sixth and Main, Ed Hearn, Harry lliggins and Martin Renfro can he heard talking about the good ol’ times when they played football for Corona Senior H : gh School and how they could have defeated Colton 49 to o had it not been for those certain eleven Yellow-jackets. Harriet Joseph and David Hull, now Mr. and Mrs., manage a dude ranch. Eugene Piester and Howard Harvey are acting as cow hands for the happy pair. Just to show what a difference there is in the graduates of ‘40 we go from the dudes to the W-P.A. Clyde Marrow and Paul Fredericks are work ng on Project 109,876, 000, which is a new gym for C.S H.S- com- plete with pink net curtains and perfumed Hjo in the showers. The latter was requested by the 1940 football squad. Paul and Clyde report that the new eiderdown covered pick handles are much more comfortable than the old fashioned wooden ones. Ah, guilds! Philip “butch” Newhouse has at last d’vulged the secret of his beautiful golden red locks and opened up a shop on West Sixth. Butch is now known as Goldie Gla Moor and he guarantees to make your hair as pretty as his own for $300- V e hear his best customer is Dan Arcy. Merle Allen and Seymore Henck, those glamour guys from way back, are also steady customers. Merle and Seymore have opened a bachelor apart- ment at the Colonial Hotel and when they aren ' t escorting the gay young things from place to place they devote their time to their art work. Kenny “Tailspin” Kuster has a transport service and flies to and from Chicago daily in his new speed job the “Echoes of ‘40.” The probable reason for the successful busin essman’s ( Bolt Kampling) seemingly necess- ary trips to the Windy City is the pleasant stewardess, Eunice Stowe, who doesn’t seem to mind making him comfy. The new majorette for the Corona College is Nellie Keast, who is well known for her darling dimpled knees. Judges Hardisty and Gregory thought her short skirts “terribly immodest” but after seeing her preform changed their minds. They confided to their secretary, Ruth Henderson, that they enjoyed it and have asked that the half time be lengthened. “Fancy-Free” Forest Jones and “Free for Anything Fancy” Jimmy Nelson are now in- corporated as dentists and had as a recent customer Marjorie Smith, who is employed as Richard Murphy’s secretary. So enchanced were these two professionals by Marjorie’s charm that they yanked (and we do mean yanked) the wrong piece of ivory and left the poor girl with a “Toothless Annie” effect. Dorothy Dillon Trcas. of S.B. Jim Toclcl, that renowned scientist, has just concocted a remarkable love potion that really does wonders. Warren Fox and Robert Heb- enstreit sampled the brew and now go around with that “sick cat” look in their eyes. Lyle Page and Art Lee are co-owners of the Sui er Speed Garage on the corner of Wash- burn and Sixth Streets and have as chief mechan ' c, Jack Farmer. His motto is: “I’ll fix any fast job if it’s a Ford.” Dorothy Dillon should he praised for her ability to please more than one boss, but it has been said she “rather enjoys” her work. Feeling sufficiently brilliant in the journ- alism line, those two ideal second period students, Philip Beggs and Frank Justis have undertaken the editing and publishing of the “Colossal Corona Correspondent” They have as ed tor of the “advise to the Love Lorn Column.” Glen FiField who feels that his many, many years of experience should war- rant him success in his new venture. We find Wilma Amaon as a cute, classy clerk in McCabe’s Department Store. Jimmy says that Wilma’s Texas accent really draws the populace of this thriving town to h s store. Sitting in an old comfy rocker before the fireplace, Martha Knauer, that very congen- ial hostess (one certain January eve in 1940,) may be seen knitting some red woolen articles of clothing preparing for some of our state’s usual unusual weather. When she entertained those two sirens of the spinster world she learned that Elma Skinner no longer teaches music but has switched to domestic science as there is more future in that field. She also was infoimed that Alice Newton is still work- ing diligently in the “Cole” business and has never once wavered or lost hope- • Public Enemy Number 361, better known as I’cd “Tommvgun” Todd is being pursued by super slueths-tii eless, terrifying, Stewart Tunstend and “W 1 ling Woiker” Austin Welt. Good Luck, boys! Roland Schmidt is running a traffic school.] He’s teaching the young nil ' s how to pass] cei ta n pe ple on the right. Jack Robertson] got a ticket the other night because he didn’t think a license was necessary to participate in “certain” spoi ts, and he is now picketing the place- That dark-haired Romeo, Manly Cole, is now m inaging an escoit serv.ce and is assis- ' ted by Benjamin Crickette and illiam Biyant. 1 he age of his cl ents varies greatly, but he seems to prefer them between 1 2 and 15 veais of age. It is our guess that Ben and Bill get the oldsters. What’s your opinion? Master of ceremonies for a very popular rad o program is that brilliant orator, Bill Searcy- During the most recent broadcast Jackie Joy, Chailie McCarthy’s latest, was presented to the listening audience as was also that famous two fisted fighter, Leonard “Laughing Boy” Sullivant. These two har- m mzed with the very popular “Red Sails in the Sunset.” ; fust an old story-Bill Rickard and Anita Pries happily married. Another happy wife, Betty Wilson, playing match maker for Twila Roe and La Verne Truby; Twila-the quiet reserved old maid and La Verne-a boistrous bachelor would make a sweet couple-don’t you think ? Dowager Helen Murray is having trouble with hei domest.c servants, Butler-Shinogee and Tessie Woods. It seems Eveiett is very much m love with the petite parlor maid and just can’t keep his mind on his work. That popular stage play “Personality Plus,” starling Shirley Mae Galbraith as the lithe livewire Lucy, is currently running at the Country Playhouse, wh ch is owned and op- erated by Ralph Hase. Hairdresser and cham- bermaid for Miss Galbraith is Shirley Sher- man, who in her sweet childlike manner attracts much attention from Mr. Hase as well as many other young men. Micky Jewell and George Pauly haven’t as yet walked down the alter, but George still has hopes- Mickey promised him that when he lost two Inches around the waist that wedding bells could ring. George is a steady customer at Jesus Cervantes’ Gymnasium, and has as his companion Neal Snipes, who has hopes of los’ng a few of those “extras” also. After these predictions we have come to the conclusion that “there just ain’t no future for 11s.” Betty Anne and Charlotte. • TITS TORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS On coming into high school as sophomores, this year’s junior class began their good record which they still uphold. With Joyce Mack as our first president in h ' gh school, Bob Kildav, Vice President; Pat Long, Secretary; Melva Holder, Treasures; Warren Elders, Yell Leader; and Art James and Patsy Hause members of the Student Body Executive Board, we had completed our first step in be- coming a part of Corona High. The class as a whole, has been a very athlet- ic one. Both boy’s and girls have been interest- ed in and taken an active part in all sports, and if “Jitterbugging” may be classed as athletics, in our Sophomore year it probably ranked top! As Juniors, the c’ass of ’41 elected Bob Kil- dav, President; Art James, Vice President; Maran Swan, Secretary; Wanda Cleveland, Treasurer; Warren Elders, Yell Leader and Art Dunivan and Gail Walker, representatives to the student executive board. Being the first class to have our Junior- Sen or Event on the school grounds, much t : me was devoted to making it an outstanding success. The class voted to have a formal, din- ner-dance in the gymnasium, on the night of May 24th. Such an active class as our own, may well look forward to a favorable and well-filled Senior year. SOPHOMORE CLASS Crash! Bang! Clatter ! That is the way in which the class of ‘4 2 entertd the portals of dear old Corona High School, on the 5th day of September, 1939- The prevalent term “under clasmen’’ attached to sohomores from vear to year now has but a very short existence for the class of 42. The Sophomore class of 144 members has survived the many ordeals in fine shape, and all indications show that it will undoubtedly l e reorganized as another outstanding class of Corona High School. The officers elected were as follows: pres- ident, Carlyle Cole; vice president, E. J. Case y; secretary, Nadine Henning; treasurer, Betty Jo Bever; Cheer leader, Loretta Eastvett; representatives for executive board, Wanda Amaon, Jake Hull; adivser, Miss Lucy Mc- Dougald. and Mrs Haytt. The class was well represented in the follow- known for the enthusiasm each member dis- played in the Girl’s Athlet e Association, Hi-Y, Girls Reserve 5 , Future Farmers, Boy’s and Girl’s (ilee Clubs, Tennis Club, Scholarship Society and many others. The sophomores will be well educated in the wav of Journal sm next year since they put out one of the best editions of the Ko-Hi-Nur of the year and just look at all the prizes and medals won by the sophomore debating teams. Looking at the social “slant” we see the booth, run by the Sophs for Lemonville. The many dances held throughout the year were also well represented by this class. ORGANIZATIONS CORONAL STAFF I lie Annual staff has been busy since al- most the very first of the school year, planning ' and organizing the 1940 Coronal. 1 he Editor, Ann McDonald has been very fortunate in having a staff so capable and so willing to work. A 1 ce Newton, Wanda Amaon, Virg ' l Olson and Charlotte Friestad have worked efficiently and vheerfully on any assignment given to them. Everest Brownfield as Business Manager sjient many long hours sobering ads which made it p issible for the I940 Coronal to be one of the finest ever published. KO-HI-XUR During: the past year the Ko-Hi-Xur staffs lnve endeavored to bring- the latest news to the students weekly in a smaller form than has been printed in previous years. Under the supervision of the advisor. Miss Florence Hill, and with the aid of a large large group of enthusiastic journalists, the stories and headlines have been written, the dummy sheets made up. the items copyread and the pages proofread. A new and capable staff was selected each quarter. Special editions were published as advertisement for “Pinafore’’ and “Young April.” As a class project in the study of newspapers the sophomores published a very complete ed ' tion. Fditor-in-chief for the year was Frank fustis. Arthur James very capably filled the office of Business Manager. The presswork and makeup of the pages was very ably done by the print shop classes under the splendid supervision of Mr, L. A. Pauly, printing- instructor. HI-Y W ith a memkershin of twenty 1x ys, it has been the purpose of the H cluh “to create, maintain, and extend throughout tlie high school and community a high standard of Christian character.’ The club is affiliated with the Y M.C.A. movement and assists in various high school act vities. Meetings are held every two weeks and are usually informal. Of the formal meetings, Ladies’ Night and the Mother and Son Ban- quet are the most noteworthy. ' I ' lie officers for the year were Gale Bratten, president; James Nelson, vice president; Jim Todd, secretary; Fillip Newhouse, treasurer; Mr. Bynum, s|x nsor. GIRL RESERVES With the 193Q - 40 comiing to a close the Girl Reserves Y.WC.A. organization con- cludes another succe°sful year of it ' s history Out of the three classes, we had an enrollment of approx matelv 50 gfirls, making: the club its largest in number since its existence. W’th Martha Knauer as head of the cabinet and Melva Holder, vice-president; Mai ion Swan secretary; Harriet Joseph, treasurer; and eight other chairmen, the vears program was outlined. As the G.R. organization is a service club, the venr was devoted, to a great extent, in doing things for other people- After our club was organized, plans were under way for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. At this time money was donated and baskets of food were g ven awav to help brighten the occassion. As an annual affair the girls made their trip to Femdale School to give a Christmas party to the 8 students who attend this little coun- try school house- I don’t know when I ever saw a more happy group of youngsters than these when they opened their gifts. It was the true Christmas spirit. As the vear progressed meetings were held at the Girl’s Clubhouse. As a whole the meet- ings were attended by many and enjoyed bv all especially the supper meetings! Recognition Service was held in our own Baptist Church. It was a very impressive cer- emony and w 11 long he remembered by all who participated- In concluding the vear the girls assisted in the annual Mav Day Fete and a Spring Formal was held at Lemoma Grove. Many of the girls attended with their guests to make the party a great success. As so many of the members are seniors, the club w’ll be greatly reduced in size but will no doubt he enlarged by the incoming sopho- mores. Heres to a bigger and better Girl Reserves organ ' zation next year. EXECUTIVE BOARD Corona High School’s Executive Board was composed of Fore t Jones, Preisdent ; W lma maon, Vice President; Eileen Jewell Sec- retary; Dorothy Dillon. Treasurer and Art Dunivan, Gail Walker, Jake Hull and Wanda Amaon, representat ves ; L. A. Pauly, faculty adviiser, and Dale 1- Glick, principal- The Executive Board has the task of con- trolling all student body affairs and is in charge of expenditure of money. This year Corona Hi’s Executive Board attended a meeting in Riverside at which all the executive board members front schools throughout Southern California were present. This year has been a very successful one, and I know that vears to come will he even more successful. SCHOLARSHIP This year for the first time the Scholarship Society sponsored a school dance. The theme was a night cluh which was entitled the Lea - Loh Club, and was held in the Gymnasium and decorated in true Hawaiian style; even to the Hula-Girls. I o re-usher our old members in, and initiate tlie new ones, we have a dinner each semester, where we receive the small golden torches, our symbolic pin, to show that we are members of this noble organization. To wear one of these pins is not only an honor, but signifies depend- ability, initiative, and scholarship. In each town there is a school and in each school there is a Scholarship Society- To be- long to the Scholarship Society is not only an honor, but something to make the school re- member you. If you make the required ten points for four semesters, on graduation you are blessed with a gold seal on your diploma, and your name on a bronze plaque that hangs in the hall of our dear alma mater. This organization has a sort of a tradition that each semester the members would go on a trip, the objective be ng pleasure as well as education. For several vears previous to this one, the Society d-d not go on a trip, but this year, (the first semester having only twelve members ), we took a trip to Long Beach with the Junior High School organization, where we toured the Ford plant and took a water taxi around the habor. The second semester, the total members numbering thirty five, we en- joyed a tour of Columbia Sauare and saw a movie afterward. PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS Offical Informal Photographers For the 1940 Coronal GIRL’S LEAGUE High lighting ' its year the Girl’s League crowned Elma Skinner queen at “Hi-Jinx,’’ held in the Gvmnasum on May 3. Her ladies- in-waiting were Jesus Cervantes, Dorothy Dillon, Nellie Keast, Eileen Jewell, Char- lotte Friestad, and Wilma Anioan. After a program of out-of-town talent Charles Coontz and his Pomona College orchestra furnished music for dancing. A large group of students attended and “Hi-Jinks” was considered quite a success. One of the outstanding projects carried out by the organization during the year was the managing of the Lemonville carnival. Elma Skinner was president with a cab- inet including Mary Jeanne Anderson, vice- president; Norma Carwile, secretary; Polly Ann Skinner, treasurer, and the representa- tives were Dorothy Alexander G-A.A. and Shirley Jewell Sophomore class. The Girls ' League was assisted by a most capable ad- visor, Miss Evelyn Steinmier. MR G.A.A. With the passmg of each sport many fem- inine athletes gained mcmbeship n the Girl’s Athletic Association. This organization stress- ed friendliness among Corona High girls this year. On November 16 many G.A.A. members gathered in the study hall for the basketball spread. A dinner in true gypsy style was ser- ved and followed by gypsy songs and dances. As a finale for the speedball - volleyball season a comic strip spread was held in the the studv hall. Such characters as Red Ryder. Mammv and Pappv okum, Daisy May, and L. i 1 ’ Abner were pre ent to enjoy the fun. The close of hockey and baseball seasons were marked bv enjoyable spreads . Many members were in attendance to enjoy an evening of enterta nment. T ravelling on the school bus a large group attended a skating party in San Bernardino. They weie accompan ed by their sponsor, Miss Florence Hill. The off : cers for the vear 1939-40 were as follows : president, Jesus Cervantes ; vice-presi- dent Margaret Tameson; secretary, Jackie Toy. LETTER MEN’S CLUB I ' lie purpose of the Letter- men’s Club is to foster better sportsmansh p in the class room as well as on the field of plav. ' I ' his year’s Lettermen’s Club had charge of gathering ads for the football programs. The programs were more elaborate than they have been in years past. They had pictures and jokes in them- The money we made from these programs was put into a radio to be put in the bus for use of all organ- izations. The last semester we made a down-payment on an electric score board for the gym. he rest is to be paid in the fall by ne ' ' t year’s Lettermens Club The officers of our club are President, Eddie Hearn. Vice Prescient. George Pauly; and Secretary and treasurer Virgil Olson. The Lettermens Club bad two initiations. one at the cloc of football and basketball sea- sons, and another at the close of the track, baseball and ten; nis seasons. This vear most of the members are return m? Ettermen so there are very few incoming lettermtfn.

Not only did our students achieve more results, but interest in speech activity was as high as it has ever been. Rob- ert D. Kutch. new to Corona this year, coached debate and other speech activities. Nineteen thirty-eight to nineteen thirty-nine was a re- cord vear and 1939-1940 surpassed it by a 200% increase in participants. The debate question for the year was “Re- solved : The Federal Government Should Own and Operate the Railroads.” For th� first time in history of the school we had an intramural tournament between the classes. 1 he sopho- more team of Florabel Fullenwider, Shirley Jewell. Marjorie Schumacher, and Carlyle Cole won it. In the intermural div ' sion Corona participated in the State tournament at Red- fands, the San Bernardino fall tournament, and the Citrus Belt League spring tournament held at Corona. The team of Bill Bohn and Charles Bright won both of the latter tourna- ments. This was the first time in C. B. L history that the same team or school had won them in the same year.

These were the joyous calls for cus- tomers at Lemonville. Pleasure seekers with the carnival spirit flocked around the var- ious booths. Before gorng to the auditorium, evervone tried his hand at fishing, throwing darts and hoops or tak ' ng part in any of the other attractions. Mr. Franklin and the orchestra started the program in the auditorium, at 8 :oo o’clock, with some rousmg numbers. After that the Senior class presented the one-act play, “Elmer.” Other talents displayed on the program were : “Cindy” and “A log on the Fire,’’ Girls’ glee club; “Sylvia” and “Gian- nina Mia.” The variety show numbers were : a tap dancing chorus with solos by Pat Va : le and Phvllis Stoltz; vocal selections by Joyce Mack. Theda Johnson, Margaret Lee. Wilma Lisle and Carrie Brown ; dr ' lls by the majorettes, Sherrv Snrth, Willie Snrth. Bobbie Jean Rever and Evelyn Woods; instrumental num- bers bv Manlev Cole.

The play was enacted by B� H Colbern, Adalfc Linschied, Bryant Jackson, Margaret Jameson, Lester Harris, Joyce Mack, Melva Holder, Gerald Fare, Patsy House, Art fames, Gloria Ross, and John Kirkland. A large audience was present to see the students prove their unusual talent, and were entertained throughout the evening. YOUNG t 8 :(x) P.M., April 5. Mr. Franklin’s all- school orchestra rendered the fnale of a stirring ' march, there was a slight pause as the curta ' n ro-e on the artisic patio stage set. and the first lines of “Young April, the 1940 all-school play, were spoken. I his climaxed six weeks of intensive, gruelling rehearsal of an all-school ca-t, competently directed by J. Henrich Hull. During three acts this divert ing comedy held the capacitv crowd attentive and respon- sive. The storv centers around the problems of Professor and Mrs. McIntyre (Forrest Jones and Margaret Jameson) and their two children George and 1 erry (Lester Harris and Alice Newton.) George and Terry ex- perience the late-adolescent trials and tribu- lations of becoming emotionally mature, and learning to understand and cope with human nature. APRIL The action centers predominantly anvH I the love affair of George and Diane Gilmore ( Adele Linschied.) and the love affairs of his jxipular sister, who in turn sna e and I discards aesthetic Burt Parsons (Ford Greg - 1 orv, ) virile Brian Stanley (David Hull,) and! Stewart Mama’s Bov” Miller ( Seymoifl Henck.) Brian is victor ous. finally, a trl gentlv ejecting Stewart from the third net.; when Stewart d ffers with his betrothed. mj wanting his egotistical mother to share in such pleasures as inviting wedding guests and playing chaperon on the honeymoon. Gloria Ross handled Mrs. Miller’s part in commend- able emotional style. To the satisfaction of director Hull tin play progressed smoothy, interspersed witf fine lines of humor deftly woven in by tl laudable performance of Shirley Sherman portraying Elsie, the bespectacled, 1 ikeabk wallflower, who runs in company with T rrv ' « “gang,’’ composed of catty Viv an ( Joyce Mack.) attractive Mildred (Gwyne Morton.) and Jane, the happy newlywed (Mary Jane Bryant. ) Tn her black-face be t, Melva Holder played the “nigger mammv” Lula, wh le Phillip Xewhouse and Manley Cole ably portrayed Oeorge’s pals Dutch and Pete. The success of “Young April’’ was also largely due to the most commendabel efforts of the Art Department, directed by Charlotte Friestad and Eleanore McGuffey, in produc- ing the attractive different, setting. The stage crew, headed by George Pauly and John Kirkland, admittedly the most im- portant factor in any play, also deserves special mention. CHRISTMAS I lie Christmas program this year was one of the most beautiful ever to he held at Corona Senior High School. Its success was due to the combined efforts of the Music department under the direction of Mr. Price, the Dramatics PROGRAM students under the direction of Mr. Hull a the Art department under the d rection of . Healv. Many other departments assisted the production. I lie Music department, of which Mr. Robert Price is director, did nnnv outstanding things this vear. Among them was the organization of a school choir. The cIiot met every Monday night and even though attendance was voluntary all practiced faithfully. I hey made several public apjjear- ances and were highly praised for their splen- did work. Their names apjiear lielow. Choir; Texas McKinney. Whna Lisle. Velta Smith.

BOVS’ GLEE CLUB For the first t me. Corona I lie ' ll had enough boys interested in music to organize a success- ful Bovs Glee Club. Their loyalty to their instructor made work- ing with them a pleasure. They took part in all of the musical enterprises in which the school participated with remarkable success.

GIRLS GLEE CLUBS Enough girls evidenced a desire to beer me more proficient in music that two glee clubs were organized. One met n the morning and the other met in the afternoon. When appear- ances were made they combined into one large glee club. I heir popularity with the public became so great that director Price found it impossible to fulfill all requests for appearances. They took part, along with the boys in the Musical festival at Chino and to climax the year they gave a musical in the High School Auditorium on Sunday afternoon May 12, and invited the public as their guests.

Majorettes appear- ed as part of the marching unit adding much to the color at the football games. ORCHESTR ACTIVITIES At the beginning of the 39 - 40 school year the Corona High orchestra and band started off with a full calendar before them. Hav ng uniforms from last year a g od band turned out for the football games. A bus for trans- jxntat on made it possible for the band to go to out of town games. A few davs before the end of the football reason, conferences ; n the orchestra room between Mr. Franklin and Mr. Price caused a great deal of speculation between various members. It was then disclosed that the glee club with the assistance of the orchestra was to produce “H.M.S. Pinafore” by Gilbert and Sullivan. The students were doubtful that they could play the music but after a few rehearsals everyone was satisf ed with the results. It is needless to say that a great amount of worry was had by students and the instructors. When the ninth grade play was produced here in our aud torium, Mr. Click proposed that the Junior and Senior High orchestra combine and plav for the even ng perform- ance- The plan was adopted and some 40 odd musicians gathered in the pit and under the d recti on of Howard Sullivant, the plan was a success. The same plan was used when the All School Play was produced and these two performances will greatly help the members of the Junior High Orchestra. The Panthers started their 1939 grid season with over thirty prospective gridders out for practice the first night. Among them were ten returning lettermen; Eddie Hearn, Martin Renfro, George Pauly, Neil Snipes, Art Cantu, Leonard Sullivant, Captain Harry Higgins, Donald Kdday, Farrel Jones and Gilbert Macias. EXCELSIOR GAME At the end of the first practice game with Excelsior, Corona was on the short end of a Mgrs. Frank Sparkman, Jack Farmer and Victor Edmondson 14 -iQ point score. On the kick off. Excelsior booted the ball into our end zone. Corona fum- bled and Excelsior recovered the hall for a touchdown in the first 47 seconds of play. Excelsior made another touchdown and the quarter ended. In the second, Hearn inter- cepted a fumbled lateral and ran 65 yards for Corona’s first touchdown. Higgins and Jones were forced out of the gciroe on account of leg injuries. Bill Searcy Virgil O’son Harry Higgins Bobby Kildcy CHAFFEY GAME Playing championship ball, the varsity went to a scoreless tie with Chaffey at Ontario. Concentrating on line plays the Panther eleven kept the hall in Tiger territory; an exception being when Chaffey had the hall on Corona’s e, yard line hut failed to get the ball over the goal in four downs. The most exciting part of the game c?me when Jones took the ball and breaking through the left side of the line carried it fifty five vards. CITRUS GAME In the second league thriller of the season, C trus on the home gridiron. The score was 27-0 with points being made all through the game. Corona had plenty of fight but just couldn’t hold back Citrus powerful grid machine. Al- though Citrus made about 3 times as much yardage as Corona, they both made 6 first downs. Corona completed 20 per cent of her passes to Citrus’s 30 per cent. The Congers from across the valley made 4 touchdowns and completed 3 conversions. The Panthers didn’t score any during the game but were within striking distance twice, once on the 7 yard line and once the 3 yard stripe, but just could n t push it over for the touchdown. BONITA GAME The Bonita Bearcats defeated the favored Panthers in their flirst League clash, the score being 23-13. Dave Alcala started the Bearcats scoring in the first quarter with a field goal. Alcala also made all the points for the Bonita Bearcats- Corona scored in the Second and fourth quarters with Bonita scoring in every quarter but the third. Parrel Jones broke through the line several times for good vardage. The Panthers played a good game, but luck was against them. Total yardage for Corona from the line of scrim- mage was I77 vards; Bonita, 203 yards.

Maybe the two teams realized that it would help their league stand- ing if they won and so the fourth quarter was full of action, fouls and lots of free throws. The large crowd was unruly at some of the decisions made by the two officials, but the two men working the game just smiled and asked the crowd to keep quiet.

Colton led the scoring with 80 points when the eastern division held their qualifing meet at Bon’ta March 28.

VARSITY BASEBALL The 1940 Panther horsehiders came out of their season with little honor when the scores were tabulated, but Coach Jess Hill saw some juniors and sophomores get plenty of exjier- ience for next year. At tile end of the season Virgil Olson was the only senior left on the team. That means that a full squad of lettermen will “do or die’ - next year. The team came out on the short end of many of their practice games for several rea- sons. They were placed against tough te ' mis from larger schools a good deal of the time. More competition naturally gave them a better background for league matches. Flme Olufson, a jun or. was in most o f the mound work for the Panthers. Near the end of the season he hurled several complete games with comendable success. Gail Walker worked behind the plate in many of the games. An injured finger kept him out of 1 ttle action. He piaved short ston on Severn 1 ' ' ccassion� - Olson also did some praisable catch ng. but was seen most of the Pme on second base. Obert Bays, a sophomore, took care of first base. Clinton Crowder saw most of his action at third. Alvin Stewart played where he was needed and did a good job of it. In different games he worked second, third and right field. Bernard Aguilar played at short stop, along wth Everett Shinogee. The outfield included Bob Norton, a new- comer to Corona this year who did some out- standing work. Also praisable was the playing done by Joe Domingues Romero Arredondo, Fred Elizalde. Dan Garcia and A. J. Hopkins. Managers were Victor Edmundson and Fred Bickhart. Scores included Puente 4.

' Their first practice match was with Pom- ona. March 6. Thev lost this match, but Mr. Vaile, ten n ' s coach, said that it was due to lack of practice and unexperence. They will show marked improvement when the league seasons opens. The Panthers lost again to San Bernar- dino, March 25. Richard Murphy won the onlv match of the day. He played first singles. When the Corona team met Redlands in another practice game they again met defeat. Bobby Everett won second singles. He was the only victorius man.
