¥ ★ T . ★ ★ ( tynaital 1943 - Published Annually by the STUDENT BODY of the Corona Senior High School ' ? neuKwd- The wheels of time roll on, never stopping that we might catch up. UJe must keep abreast of time or we will be left behind. Time dictates the theme of the Coronal this year, so it has been dressed up in patriotic colors. Shortages of materials and shortage of labor have created many obstacles to be overcome, but the staff is proud that it was able to put out this volume honoring a class whose boys and girls will nearly all post- phone their plans for the future to serve our beloved Country. It is fitting that we dedicate thi« Coronal to those students of Corona Senior High School who hare given their lives for our Country and to those who are now serving or will serve in the future. Their unselfish sacrifices are examples of heroism which will live in the memory of the world for many generations. Through their determination to defend what is right, the four freedoms established by our fore fathers may be enjoyed by posterity as they have been enjoyed by us. — The €ditor 0 .. tA u Ac it euex wAt frlCC-tHCH AoU Ufa ei ‘ScttvccH tAei Aomei ohcC tAe u ax j denotation. ‘Stent umXA victory and peace, ay tAe Acovcko xencued (and T xaine tAe ' Paver tAat AatA made and prenexoed an a nation 0 , Illr.

Vlop inS ‘ Gntering as green sophomores it became apparent to them as time went by, that they were exceedingly lucky in evading that annoying initiation, but that they must accept new responsibilities, brought on by the Declaration of UJar on December 7, 1941, both to ourselves and the other members of school. This ' ' gang ' ' expressed themselves by originality and doing all in their power to be different and outstanding from other classes. Gano Boris. L h . ranClS puorre Their leadership for 1940-1941 were How- ard Sullivant, president; Stanley Farmer, vice-president; Bettv Beaver, secretary, Glma Kroonen, treasurer: and Ihey carried out the plans of the class competently. A new idea of a dance for the purpose of raising money was a great success and has since been carried out by all succeeding classes. After Lemonville, decoration for Bacca- laureate, and a successful graduation, these students began their junior year with Francis Ganahl as president. Howard Sullivant as vice-president, Thelma Smith as secretary and lllarilyn Schumacher as treasurer. During 1941-1942 their extraordinary works in athletics, clubs, scholarship, debates, and dramatics reveal ed many hidden talents. Their biggest job, a big success and bringing in a large profit was the junior play, The Bashful Bachelor. The junior-senior banquet was one long to re- member and it carried out the theme of origkmality adopted by its sponsors. Lottes ftotnp. a cV Gart° n ‘ l ' V. .

The ciass rings which had been selected during the class of 43 ' s sophomore year were worn with pride and pleasure throughout both the junior and senior years. On September 21, 1942 (later than usual) they entered ' ' ruling seniors of the school with ITlarvin Borden, president; George Pina, vice-president; GUen Stowe, secretary; Lilabell Self, treasurer; as the presiding officers.

After much controversary and de- lay, they finally obtined their senior sweaters of powder blue. Although many of the boys left for college and to serve their country, the big gap was nearly filled by many returning fpr graduation exercises. OTHGR UJeatherwax, Clyde Brunston, R.C.

It has participated in all activities that were pos- sible and has gone through some hardships. Some of the activities have been; Lemonville, Athletics, School Dances, Drama, and many other smaller activities If there was something going on at school, someone out of this class was usually in on it, even the noise.

After quickly adapting itself to every day school life, many mem- bers participated in the following activities: Lerronville, De- bating, Scholarship Society, Athletics, Victory Cores, and School Dances. Ore of the highlights of the year was the Caster Dance which was given to raise money for the Junior- Senior Prom. The success of the Dance was due largely to the willingness of the Sophomores and the [acuity members to work together. During the year the offices were as follows: President— Karl Janson. Vice President— Gadie iTQiller, Secretary— Janet Bishop, Treasurer— Gugene Russel), Yell Leader-Sherry Smith. The class was well represented at Gxecu- tive Board meetings by Dale Genung and Stanley Garvey. The Sophomore sponsors were (Tlrs. Hazel Hyatt and Bliss Katherine Stewart.

During the period when the boys are instructed in the art o( military drill, the girls have been privileged to hear various speakers. One of the favorite guests, was Lt. Ilorine Stora, UJ.fl.A.C., who gave some of the duties and thrills of the UJ.H.A.C. To balance this, and to favor those v ho like tne waves, a UJave from the Florco naval Hospital was pre- sented. Life on the homefront was represented by -U members of various divisions of the Red Cross. €ach speaker gave a short report on her group.

George onidecor displayed many lovely floral arrangements. During the early part of the year, filrs. 1-iiehl gave a stirring talk on etiquiete. many girts loft the auditorium wondering how such a dry subject could have been made so interesting. fl few weeks later, miss Lincoln gave a tew rules and regulations for dances. Here again the ds were amazed. Thev are still amazed at both of the speeches! much fun was had when progressive games were played. Several hostesses saw that evervono had g fine time. As usual, dorina Christmas time, the girls ' eaoue held their annual UJhite Christmas, many fruits and vegetables were given. fit the time of this writing, plans are being formulated for the onnual Hi-finx to be held on fTla- ' 7. , , , These and many others have been pre- sented by the cabinet of the Girls ' League which consists o ' ' President Betty Warrel] Vice President Lucy flluratore Secretary fllary Shannon Treasurer Jackie Phillips r Q e a er p e re P res f tati ve Louise Burkhart G.fl.fl. Representative Lillian Leonard Girl Reserves In spite of the wartime school schedule the airl Reserves have h a several regular meetings. At these meetings we have had many interesting talks. These talks included travels in Russia, Colorado and Hawaiian Islands, t.ie history of British UJar Relief and etiquette. Among their service activities was a party given for the soldiers and Christmas gifts of food and clothing for an unfortunate family in Corona.” In February the Recognition Service was he,d at the fflethodist Church. This was a very beautiful ceremony where fourteen girls were recognized by the club. The Girl Reserves helped at the fRay Fete, whicn was held at the UJijlitts garden,, by selling U -Lets, help- ing with the food sales and serving at the luneneon. The High Light of the year was the Girl Reserve Formal held at the UJomen’s Improvement Club House. It was a grand success. The Cabinet which served this year was; president - Louise Burkhart, vice-president - Dorthea Vaile! secretary - Bernice Todd, and. treasurer - Jackie Gnqland. The cnairmen for committees were as follows; program - Alary Pat newhouse, devotional - Gloise Ashlock, publicity - Betty Jean Prentice, service - Gwen Garton, song leader - Alarilyn Root, and social - Lois Schmidt. ‘Vtcftny Lieutenant Pauly administered the oath with Army, navy and State Guard personnel participating in the ceremonies. PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB This group is responsible {or all informal pictures in this book music DepfWTmenT flcnvrries ... , Although our operetta was not practical this year because of the war, the music department was act- ive when it counted most; promoting enteartainment and morale building programs so essential to the times, entertain- ment for the local UJar Stamp and Bond drives was probably the greatest service rendered. _ a r ' u ■ m ’ xeb choir so favored at Thanksgiving and Christmas gave two programs for each occasion The Thanksgiving program was presented for the student body and the Methodist church. The Christmas program wa«= pre- sented in an assembly and to the Baptist church. ,., Th ® and girls glee clubs adcleci much to the musical ufe of the department. Each organization gave a fall in sprina concert and sang at Lemonvile and for the Associated Corona Teachers at the Lincoln School Auditorium. The boys glee sang luncheon performances for the Lions and Rotary clubs The girls sang special proformances for ihe girls league and at the induction cere mony of the V.C. where they featured their favorite song UJe must be Vigilant. Perhaps, the most important engagement was given for the communitv at the school auditorium, fit this performance a war stamp or bond was the admission price. Outstanding in point of talent and service were Lulu fllae Hopkins accompanist for the boys glee, Francis Ganahi Tenor Solist and George Pina who gave Jive in its right- ful place on the boys ' glee program and assembly, fharilyn Root, a Sophomore, was accompanist for the girls glee and featured piano soloist on their program. ITluch credit belongs to her for the excellent service she renders the school. Fea- tured soloist with the Girls ' Glee was fllildred nelson who made such light operetta selections as Desers Song , “I ' m Falling in Love with Someone” and Only a Rose , a real treat to enjoy. i The ® rchestra - although consisting of only a dozen mem- bers, did yeoman Service at assemblies. This year they featured pepy marches and put many a foot to tapping. Playing for the Junior Play between acts the orchestra made a real __ hit with its precision playing of Spirit of flmercia True To Our Flag and march of Progress Hi present the orchestra is rehearsing with the Junior High or- ?

A. R. The Girl ' s Athletic Association is an organization for girls who are interested in after school spcds. Girls in G.A.A. receive awards according to the number of points they make. The point system is as follows: 100 points merits an emblem; 400 additional points merits a letter; and for every additional 500 points thereafter a star is awarded. Also there are special awards given to girls who make an all-school team in any sport. At the end of the school year the five girls who have the most points get their names on the G.A.A. plaque, and the girl with the most points re- ceives the fllary Gard Jameson Award. Besides just playing different sports here at school between the three classes, the G.A.A has been having other activities. Some of these include spreads which ,ol;ow each sport so that the awards can be given o the g.rls who earn them; dances; and playdays, that is, carpet- ing with other schools in various soorts. To climax the end of the G.A.A. school year there is a bnnquet, which every girl anticipates. The officers for the following year are introduced and the five girls who get their names on the plaque are announced, iuis banquet is also, more or less, a farewell dinne ' ' .‘or tne Seniors.

VARSITY FOOTBALL 1942 brought to Corona what may be coll- ect in future years the Sefton era of football, molding a power- i ru !i n ' n ? attack from a turnout of only 19 potential grid- aers. Coach Walt Sefton led his charges through one of the most successful seasons of recent years. The Corona team lost to only one team, the Bonita Bearcats, led by the South- land s most outstanding athejete .since Jackie Robinson, G enn Davis. The Bearcats went on to win the CIF Class A title by defeating South Pasdena and Flewport Harbor by larger scores than the one they rolled up against our Panthers. That just goes to show that the Coronans weren ' t such weak sisters either. Corona started out with a surpriser when tney went to Chino and gave the Cowboys a 1 9-0 drubbing, ine first game of the season introduced the year ' s scorinq threat in Darrell Rinky Dink Skinner who caught the Cow- boy team napping to score the first 1942 Corona touchdown by scampering 20 yards on an end-around play. That same play was used many times later in the season and in almost every case was a sure thing for plenty of yards, monk ' ’ Smith had a field day by chalking up two touchdowns on line plays. Coach Seftoi) The next game also turned out to be a teather in the cap o{ Coach Sefton. For the first time since anybody around here remembers a Corona aggregation de- feated a Riverside team. The score was 13-6. The hero of the day was Chet riicholson who grabbed the ball away from a Riverside back near the goal line which set the stage for Joe Carroll to ram through for the winning 6 points, fl line plunge from the one yard, line produced the other Panther score. Downey was the next victim of the Panther victory crusade, falling under a 12-0 score. Bill Girardy made his first touchdown on a pass from Carlton Smith while Smith and Joe Carroll drove 73 yards for the other touch- down with Carlton making the last 2 for the 6 points. In this game the Panthers were held for 3 straight downs within 6 inches of the goal-line. The Vikings with their star, Roy Gar- rison, injured, did not drive farther than the Corona 40 yard line. Then Glenn Davis and Company came to down with the result that the Panthers went down to de- feat by the score of 33-13. Davis was held to 3 touchdowns which is about one less than he usually scores but he passed to another one which made up for it. Joe Carroll was the Panther standout of the day, scoring both touchdowns on line bucks. A 42 yard runback of a ki ck-off by fllonk Smith was the outstanding play that the Panther followers got to cheer about. Duane UJhitehead proved that there were other good Bonita men by ripping off 32 yards in 2 plays for the other Bonita touchdown. Carroll Fullback Ilicholson Left Gnd Golliher Right Gnd Hunnicutt Center The Panthers showed they had no qualms as to the jinx that accompanies Friday, the 13th, when they trounced the Citrus Cougars 14-0 upon that date on the loser ' s field. Joe Carroll added to his growing touchdown total in •he first quarter when he cracked over from the 3 yard line for the first touchdown. The second score was a Rinky Dink Special with Skinner zipping into the clear on a 34 yard jaunt to the Citrus goal-line. He was hampered somewhat by trie fact that there were a couple of Citrus Cougars hanging on to his back for the last few yards. Smith added both conversions to make it 14 for the day. Dick Bell Right Half Ilevins Right Tackle The next week ' s victory brought more glory and honor to the team than any other single feat could ever bring. On that memorable Friday afternoon Carlton Smith did himself proud by running rampant before the home town gentry by breaking through the entire Yellowjacket team, not once, but twice for long touchdown gallops. These gallops were strictly Glenn Davis style - one of them for 49 and the other for 58 yards. He also booted the 13th point. UJhile all this spectacular sprinting was taking place the Col- ton boys were not standing around admiring the local major- ettes but really put a scare into Corona ' s own by opening a passing attack that was a pip. UJith Ray Alexander in the Ghlers Left Tackle Rertelli role the Yellowjackets put the ball in scoring position. From there on Alexander ran the ball until he chalked up 6 digits. That ended all the scoring for that day with the result that a Corona team had finally overcome a Colton team. iTiany of Corona’s boys were playing their last game for the Panthers. These included Captain Howard Suilivant, Chet Hicholson, Marvin Bolden. Charles Haakenson, Marvin Ghlers. Don Lamb, Bill Hatcher, and Raymond Spiess on the line and Gordon Turman, Ralph Golliher, Joe Carroll, Bob Bell, George Pina, and Gzekial Hlejia in the backfield. Hatcher Right Half Four of the teams outstanding players re- ceived added post-season laurels when the all-star teams were published. Charles Haakenson, right guard, received the highest honor when he was chosen on the third team for the All-CIF team chosen annually by the Helms Foundation. Haakenson then came back to be the right guarl on the ftll- iri County team. He was not alone here as team mates Herbert Flevin, at left tackle; Carlton Smith and Joe Carroll in the backfield, made the team to make it four out of 12 positions or just one third of the Tri-County team. Although most of the team graduates, next year’s squad will not be lacking experience or skill. This team will be built around the nucleus of the returning lettermen, namely Herbert Ilevin, who will be switched to fullbucK, Carlton Smith, Bill Girardey, Puffy Hunnicutt who played every minute of every game this season; Darrell Skinner, and Richard Bell. This fine array of talent will be augmented by graduates from the Champ X team such as Floyd and Lloyd Stewart, Stanley Garvey, Bud Janson, £d Brooks, and others. There may be more moving up next season due to height and wieght increases. However, by then some of them may be in the service so don ' t get your hopes up yet.

They sponsor and hold two initiations each year. Under tne spon- sorship of Ulr. Brooks, the club has given the smaller boys, who have become lettermen, a chance to get together. The X lettermen have been handicapped this yeai because of the decision of the Tri-County League officials to prohibit any more X sweaters to be ordered. There are, however, quite o few sweaters seen around the campus. They are quickly distinguished from varsity sweaters by having the stripes on the right sleeve instead of the left. To become an X’ letterman one must . earn his letter in X football, B, C, or D basketball, or X track. While this might seem easy, it is just as hard for the smaller boys to make their X letter as it is for the larger boys to make their varsity letter. To compete in “X sports one must have 85 exponents or less. The only exception is B basketball where one may have 87 exponents. The X ' ’ lettermen are very proud of the record their Corona X football team has been making. In the 1941-42 season they were unbeaten and tied once to win a championship. In the 1942-43 season they were unbeaten and untied to win another championship. Lacking the support of the Junior High School, has handicapped the basketball and track teams no end. There are 21 members in the club with several of these excused from activities upon tneir entrance into the armed forces. The X lettermen like the other organi- zations around the campus have been greatly handicapped by the war. They will however, have their organization as long as possible. “X ' Lettermen Officers.

The Bonita-Corona varsity game was the only game that was lost as the X ' s came through with a clean Siate to take the Tri-County League championship for the second straight season. The Panther Cubs opened their season v ith a 13-0 victory over Chino. This game featured a running attack centered around Fullback Gerald Carwile and Quar- terback €d Brooks. Carwile had the honor of making the first touchdown of the year when he plunged 7 yards to score. One of the season ' s longest runs took place in this tussle when Center Karl Janson, intercepted a Chino pass and galloped 55 yards for the second touchdown. t The next victory for the Brooks-coached lightweights was the rout of Downey, 26-0. The touchdowns for the day were rolled up by Jack Searcy, Charles Hayes, and €d Brooks who bagged two. Searcy and Hayes both contribtued extra points to the scoring. The Cubs cashed in on a fumble to de- feat Bonita 6-0 to make it 3 straight in as many Tri-County games. Angel Ooreno, playing at the right end position, re- covered a Bonita fumble on the Bearcat 20 and €d Brooks lugged it the rest of the way for the only scoring play of the tilt. This game introduced the team ' s outstanding play of the year which was v orked many times later in the season. On this particular day, Stanley Garvey, regular left guard, came out of the line to carry the ball on a reverse and moved the ball 38 yards. Also in this same game the team realized the importance of their fine blocking back, Gddie Oilier. Oilier hurt his knee in the third quarter and many an anxious glance was cast his way until he recovered sufficiently to re-enter the game. Flext came the Citrus game and the Cubs downed the Cougar Cubs 13-7 to remain in the undefeated ranks. This was the first game in which either team had been ground gainer and high scorer for the local gang. The Coronans clinched the title in their final game when they defeated Colton 20-6 on the Yellow- jacket field. The touchdowns were rolled up by Brooks, Stan- ley Garvey, and Charles Hayes with Brooks adding two con- versions. The scores were results of drives of 77, 54, and 55 yards, respectively. Brooks ' 31 yard gallop and Garvey ' s 23 yard touchdown run were the highlights of the encounter. Garvey carried the ball 4 times from his guard position for an average of 9.75 yards per try while Brooks ran up a total of 141 yards for the afternoon or an average of 7.16 for each time he carried the ball. Besides these wins over Tri-County schools the Cubs took a 7-0 win over Emerson Junior High and gave Chemawa a 35-0 trouncing in practice games. VARSITY BASKCTBALL The war cut Corona ' s basketball schedule in tv ' o this year with the ft and B teams operating out of the former flBCD quartet. But the boys who did do the playing made up for this lack of quanity with fine ball handling and shooting, thus making quite a successful season. To summarize the season take a look at what the varsity did. The season opened in an auspicious manner when the Panthers lost out to the Riverside Poly Bears 31-30. Tne score does not tell much more than to say that it was a close game but the score at the half time intermission stood at 22-6 against the Seftonetes which goes to show the comeback power of the local lads. Captain Chet nicholson did himself proud of this tilt by running up 18 points to top both teams with Quentin Sims of the Bears not too far behind with 14. Both of these boys went on to win second string ftll-CIF laurels chosen by the Helmes Foundation. Revenge was the motif for their next game when the Pan- thers spilled the Riversiders in a return game 23-21. Again Ilicholson and Sims took scoring honors for their teams with 12 and 10 points respectively. Corona High School weak but willing faculty (referring to basketball - who’d think of anything else) was the next quin- tet to feel the Panthers power and went down to humiliating defeat 34-23. The scoring in this one was scattered with Fran- cis Ganahl getting 6 to lead the victors while Coach UJalter Sefton, turning traitor for the day, poured 13 markers through the net to lead the faculty. The varsity made the mistake of taking on the U. S. Ilavy for their foe and were set back on their heels 35-17 by the flashy five from the naval Hospital, nicholson salvaged 7 digits for the Panthers to be top man while little Bill Cottle of the sailors ran wild with 17. The ft ' s jumped back into the win column in their next game when they overpowered the Glsinore varsity 33-18 with Stanley Farmer bagging 10 of the winning points for high honors, fll Kazmier and Jim Farell of the losers split £1- sinore ' s honors with 8 apiece. Sefton ' s talented quintet made it two in a row when they blasted Sherman 38-21 on Decs-mber 22. Chet nicholson again led the onslaught with a 14 point effort. James UJataname bagged 6 for the losers. Chet nicholson was on top again the next night when he personally led his charges to a 31-16 win over the Army Bullets of Corona. His 14 points led the winners while Soldier Henry Dowd with 4 led the victims. VARSITY BASKETBALL (continued) The Ilaval Hospital wrecked our local talent again when they ran up a 35-21 victory cn the 28th. Center Kenneth I ' leilson of the U. S. n. H. grabbed high point laurels with 14 while Ilicholson was content to lead the Panthers with 11. Two days latter the Panthers ran wild to bury the Army Bullets under a 41-24 score. In this game Chet Dicholson connected with 8 out of 10 f ee shots and six field goals to cop the honore with 20 points. UJilliam (Five by Five) (Tlaney led the soldiers with 9. The Seftonetes followed this wild one with an even wilder one on their next time out with their 43-23 conquest of Valencia High on January 12. Chet Ilicholson (17), Stanley Farmer (8), and (Ilarvin Borden (6), were the Corona heroes of the day. Valencia ' s Bob Smith had 9 to be the loser ' s attack. The Sherman Indians provided the oppisition in the next tilt and the Indians gave the Panthers a tough time for the first three quarters after which the Cor- onans went on to 32-27 win. This time Ilicholson grabbed off 17 points for the high point glory while John Paradise had 1 1 total for the losers. The next win for the locals ' ' was probably the prized victory of the year as the Panthers triumphed with a second half rally featuring Chet Ilicholson and Co. The Panthers sunk 1 0 out of 1 3 free shots to help out plenty. The A boys followed up their first win over Valencia with another ,one a few days later when they stiffed the Tigers from Placencia 31-27 v ith Stanley Farmer leading the way with 11 points. This win was the Panthers 6th. in a row. Domingo Casas led the losers with 17 points. Stanley Farmer bid farewell to his teammates in the next game which was played at Bonita. It was a bad day for him though as he was held scoreless for the first time during the season and his team lost to the Bear- cats 36-26. Glen Davis had to lead the winners. After losing to the Bearcats the Panthers bounced back to edge Chino 26-25 in the most thrilling game of the year. The locals came from behind at the half, when they trail- ed 18-11, to eke out a 1 point victory in the final quarter. Chet Ilicholson had 1 7 and Richard Larson had 7 to top the (Dinners while Ted Bare and Howard Sommer had 8 apiece for the Cowboys. VARSITY BASKCTBALL (continued) Colton came to town on February 5, with revenge in their hearts and fire in their eyes and when the smoke had clear- ed away the scoreboard showed that the Yellow;ackets had carted off a 32-2,3 decision. Illarion Leppard was in the driver ' s seat for the Jackets with 13 digits while Ilicholson grabbed off 12 for the Fanthers. Soldier UJeslev Pearce finally got going in the third Army- Panther game to score 15 points to personally lead the Bullets to a 25-24 decision over the Seftonites in the next varsity tilt which was played here on February 8. The Chino Cowboys also avenged a previous aefeat when they engaged the Panthers for the second time, winning 26-22. As in the first clash between the two teams the Panthers put on a second half rally but this time it fell 4 points short. On February 15 the Panthers enjoyed a comparative breather in chalking up a 37-21 win over the 23 1st Oid- nance of Riverside in a night game on the home court. Ilicholson (14), Francis Ganahl, (8), and Richard Larson (6) led the Corona scoring parade while Dusty Leidl dropped in a couple of super-long shots for 8 points for the soldiers. Johnnie Deleo wound up his basketball career (for C.H.S. anyway) in a blaze of glory in the final game of the sea- son when he swished the nets for 10 points to personally lead the Panthers to their 3rd win in a 4 game series with the Army Bullets, 25-19. UJesley Pearce had 9 for the losers. In taking a look at the statistice for the 1942-1943 season we find that the Panthers took 1124 shots at the baskets, sinking 263, for a shooting average of .232. In the free throw department, 97 shots out of 19S were made good for a .494 average. In all 137 fouls were committed, and 623 points scored in the 21 games played during the year.

Ilicholson was deadliest on free shots with a .575 average with Bill Hatcher and Don Lamb not far behind with .571. Ilicholson also led in fouls with 37 and in points with 274. His closest rivals in the last named department were Stanley Farmer with 84, Francis Ganahl, S3, Johnnie Deleo and Richard Larson, 44; and dlarvin Borden, 28. The team had a record of 14 wins and 7 losses for a .667 average. B BASKETBALL Players of B,C, and D classification were grouped into the B division this year and as to be expected R.C. (Rabbit) Brun- ston was the big noise when it came to making points. How- ever the team did not fare so well this year capturing 4 games out of 14 games played. Their biggest victory probably was there second game with the Chino Cowboys when they eked out a 21-20 win after having lost to the same bunch 34-23 in a previous tussle. In this game Brunston dropped in an even dozen markers be- fore leaving the game via the foul rout. Dean Auten was the runner up with 4 while Hoover led the Cowboys with 8.

Jack Garton ' s 10 point effort was tops for Corona while Preciado led the Hub City five with 15. ft rematch with Valencia proved even more disastrous as the Valencia quintet followed up their earlier 44-2)8 win with a 38-14 truimph on January 26. Karl Janson contributed half of the cubs points to be the high man for the ' ' locals . Bob Aloreno, with 12, was tops for Valencia. Brunston was never better in the Bonita game, in which he went hog wild to pile up 19 points, fflost of these shots were long set shots from the chest. The Cubs were defeated in this game by the Bearcats 36-30 with Thyre hlyer getting 1 1 for the winners. The Cubs suffered a 34-23 reverse at the hands of the Chino Cowboys in their next start. Although they lost the game the Coronans came back strong in the second half after trailing 24-7 at the end of the first two quarters. Brunston (9) and Dean Auten (8) were the Corona heros of the day while Iielder with 8 was the Chino high point man. Colton made it two straight on February 5 when they de- feated the Cubs 21-14 on the Corona court. Janson and Bruns- ton had four apiece for the losers. Clements gathered in 8 for the Yellowjackets.

Karl Janson was third with 31 with Dewey Roos next with a total of 21 points. BASGBALL After getting off to what some less digni- .ea exponents of the game would signify as a lousy start ' the Corona Panther baseball team improved steadily as they gained experience to become one of the best clubs in the vicinity. As the season had not yet keen completed when this v as written, it cannot be foretold just what their final record be. However after viewing them defeat the Poly Bears in their last game it can be said it will be considerably better Irian trie 4-3 record to date (fllay 18). The Panthers came off their first game with L range still seeking their fust hit as pitcher Rudy Garcia of r ' e wmnm g Orange team let down the Panthers with nary a mr.gje or a run. The final score in that tilt was 3-0 with Zek° illejia turning in a four-hit performance although his team was on tne short end of the count. ™ny Hunmcutt had the honor of getting the first Corona hit in the next skirmish in which the Panthers nosed out Golton 5-4 in a rhoto finish. In winning this game the Pantiers made it a win over the yellowjackets in ever sport this season, a feat that has not been accomplished in many a year. Back row: Coach Sefton - Pina - fllejia - Deleo - Ilicholson Barber - Finnell - flloreno. Front row: Cullins - Spiess - Cole filcCorkell. Panther bats really flared up in the next clash with Valencia with the Sefton-coached bunch taking on easy 11-3 win. Zeke fllejia was again stingy with the base hits and allowed only five while striking out 13 of the visitors George Pina, Johnnie Deleo and Puffy Hunnicutt got 2 hits apiece to lead the 10-hit attack upon two Valencia pitchers which featured 4 and 5 run outbursts in the fifth and sixth innings. Pit about this time the Panthers ran into tne Orange High gang and again came out on the wrong end of the score this time 7-1. This time, though, the Panthers collect- ed five hits while fllejia and Pina were giving the winners 3 including first baseman Bill King ' s homeruns, which accounted for 4 of Orange ' s 7 runs. Zeke puts one over the middle The Riverside Poly Bears came up with a four-run rally in the sixth inning to take an 8-4 decision from the Panthers in their next game. The Coronans had came from behind to score two runs m the first half of the fatal inning to tie the score but it was not enough to put them in th win column. Chet Ilicholson ' s booming triple was the highlight of the tilt for the Panthers who collected 6 bingles off winning pitcher Frank UJhite. The Panthers played their best game of the season in their next time out when they banged out twelve hits to back up Zeke Rlejia ' s 4-hit pitching to take an 8-0 win from the Valencia Tigers on the loser ' s flashy diamond. UJally Hutchins found his batting eye in this contest and banged out a double and a triple while Gordon Turman collected two doubles to lead the hitting cttack. George Pina and John De- leo also gathered in two bingles to help out in the barrage against three Valencia pitchers. Revenge was sweet in the next clash as tne Panthers got to pitcher Frank UJhite for five runs in the fourth inning to give them a 6-3 decision in a return engage- ment with the Riverside Bears. Zeke Ulejia fanned 13 opposing batsmen while giving up only four hits to get credit for his fourth win of the season. UJally Hutchins with a double and two singles, Gordon Turman with two doubles and Ulejia with a pair of singles led the 10-hit assult upon UJhite who had previously defeated them. Although much of the credit for putting a w inning team on the field must go to Coach Sefton there is no denying the fact that a great amount of credit must go to the Panther catcher and sparkplug, George Pina, who was responsible for much of the life and spirit put forth in each game while he himself, turned in near perfect work behind the plate. VARSITY TRACK This year ' s varsity track team could well be described as a three-man affair featuring Francis Ganahl, Richard Larson, and Chet Tiicholson as the nucleus. Through the work of these three fellows the Panthers rolled up enough points behind Bonita in the 22nd annual Tri-County League Track and Field ITleet on fllay 8 to place second. The season got under way with a few practice meets, but the first real excitement came when Rich- ard Larson leaped 6 feet 2% inches in the high jump to erase an 11 year record set by Duane Standiford at 6 feet 1 and ' one-eighth inches in 1932. Chet Ilicholson was the hero of the Panther squad for the Tri-County meet at Pomona when he scored 13 points to take individual honors. The Qoronans wound up the day with 23% digits for second place. Ilicholson copped the broad jump with a leap of 20 feet 7% inches and nosed out Claremont ' s Colbath by inches to emerge victorious in the 220 yard low hurdles. Besides his two wins he grabbea off second place in the high jump. Frcncis Ganahl turned in his usual victorious effort in the 880, winning easily n 2m. 4.7sec. R chard Lbrson tied for third in the high jump with Ted Bare of Chino to account for 1 % points and then all three learned with Ted Lescault to take second in the 880 yard relay. Corona ' s other points for the day were turned in by Jack Garton and Ted Lescault who salvaged fifth ppsition in the 880 and 440 respectively. The final scores for that meet were: Bonita, 35%; Corona, 23%; Colton, 21%; Chino, 18%; Claremont, 14, Downey, 12%; Citrus, 10; and Puente, 2%. UJhile the varsity was taking second the X ' s were having their troubles and could muster only 7 % points to take sixth place. Karl Janson’s second in the 350 was the highlight for the Cubs while the remainder of the points were being accounted for by Russell (Skippy) Cunn- ingham (third in the 1320), Gerald Carwile (fourth in broad ;ump and fifth in shot pui), Dale Genung (tie for fourth in high jump), and UJillie Gonzales (fifth in broad jump) The final scores for the X meet were. Citrus, 27%; Downey, 2S’i; Chino, 26%; Claremont, 19; Bonita, 8%; Corona, 7%; Colton, 5; Puente, 3. Those who finished either first, second, or third qualified for the C. I. F. qualifying meet the following week. Francis Ganahl again came through with a win in the 880, this time in 2m. 4.1sec. Richard Larson tied Howard Som- mer of Chino at 5ft. 8% in. to give the Panthers their other win of the meet. Chet Dicholson turned in as second in the low hurdles, third in the broad jump, and a tie for third in the high jump to be the most versatile Panther of the day. On the same day as this last named meet was held, other qualifying meets were being held at Long Beach and £1 fllonte, and in comparing the three records it is found that Ganahl ' s time is faster than any of the other winner ' s in the 880. This record was the only one that was better than those turned in at £1 fllonte and Long Beach. To wind up the season the Sophomores de- feated the Junior High track bunch 46-27. The C. H. S. boys copped 6 ' of the 9 first places in trimming the track hopefulls of future years.
