( axaital 944 T cdltol td S f 76 e Student x£ (? yutota Senear ScAaaf ‘pwietwnct Amid the confusion caused by the atmos- phere and environment of a war torn world we have tried to carry on as before. This Coronal has been published by the students with many difficulties facing them. Sports and other student social activities were cur- tailed somewhat, but through competent leadership and cooperation the morale of the students has been kept on a high level. The 1944 COROI1AL is a pictorial review of a program of wartime morale building activities. ‘Dedication It is with the deepest appreciation of the many things that our boys and girls in the armed services are doing for us that we dedicate this Coronal, to all of the graduates of Corona Senior High School who are fighting on the battle fronts or serving in a thousand different ways so that we might continue our American way of living. It is the sacrifices such as they are making which makes this, our country, the one white soot on the face of the world. May God help us, to help them, get this war over in a hurry so that they might come home to an apprec- iative people. drs. Galbraith Clark BOARD OF TRUSTGGS Hlr.

Tlhis is evidenced by the long list of student activities in which Juniors took part.

Valencia. Colton, Citrus and Cl lino all met defeat at the hands of the Panther Varsity. The outstanding games were Art Ilarnesky UJilly Gonzales Loyd Stewart the Colton and Riverside games. Corona came from behind twice to defeat Colton 20 - 12. After outplaying Riverside, Corona scored on the last play of the game to get a 7 to 7 tie. This was a moral victory since Riverside was the Citrus-Belt League Champion.

Gddie Bradbury, playing his first year of basketball for Corona was the leading scorer with 129 points. Bernard Hunnicut, playing his first and Iasi year, was next with 100 points. TJhe prospects for next year are much better with four L.et- termen returning plus several members of the Championship B team. Fifteen games were played with the home team winning 4. •The foilowng received their letters: Cldridge Bradbury, Floyd Stewart, Bernard Hunnicut, Jimmy fflcCarty, Ted Lescault, Robert Free- man, Karl Janson, Gerald Carwile and Donald Bradley.

The squad was very small and due to work outside school and other sports, training time was limited. Eight meets were on the schedule this year which added greatly to general interest in track. Five letters were awarded to: Russell Cun- ningham, Dale Genung, Karl Janson, Ted Lescault, and Frank Ulontejano. ■ -f X TRACK The X Team placed second in the Tri- County. Sight boys won their “X letter. They were: Gdward Bell, Robert Bolland, Frank Brewster. UJallace Hutchins, Fred Rloffett, Tommy fllof- fett, Rollie Pennington andCharles Slattery. VARSITY BASEBALL UJith four returning Lettermen to form the nucleus of the iecm, the 1944 baseball team had had an interesting season. Although not winning trte championship, the team showed (lashes of championship play during the sea- son. Probably the outstanding game was the defeat of Riversiae by the score of 2 - 0 on our own diamond. The Corona Panthers won 4 and lost 8 league games. — The following piayers, received their base- ball letters: Don Bradley, Catcher (Captain elect); Ralph Reynolds, Pitcher- Paul Barber, First Base; UJilliom Gonzales, Second Base; tDallace Hutchins, Short Stop (Captain ; Bernard Hunnicutt, Third Base; Gddie Brau- bury, Left Field; fflanuel Reynoso, Center Field; Gugene Russell, Right Field; Ronald Lundeen, Utility and Gugene Bristow, Utility.
