Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1949 volume:

FOREWORD Th is Coronal is published for the students and teachers of Corona Se nior High, that they may look back and re-live the many events that took place in the year 1948-49. DEDICATION To Edgar E. Ritter, who has con- stantly urged us to dig deeper to find more nuggets of news, and who has properly panned us when no pay dirt appeared, we cheerfully dedicate this CORONAL, the Forty-Niner. CONTENTS . • • Faculty and Administration Classes Academic Organizations Activities Sports Features Advertising BOARD OF EDUCATION Seated left to right: Mr. James Rhodes, Mr. Jess Lillibridge, Mr. Sam Waldrip, Mr. John Colladay, Mr. George M. Kibby, Mr. Ray Williams, and Mr. John Madruga. The Board of Education is made up of a group of our leading citizens who are concerned with the welfare of the students in the schools of Corona. It maintains the highest standards of education possible, advancing with modern times. This year the board devoted much of its time to the affairs concerned with the elementary school building program and the expansion of the high school. For the year 1948-49 the Board of Education consisted of John Colladay, presi- dent; Jess Lillbridge, clerk; Ray Williams, James Rhodes, and John Madruga. “Congratulations to the Class of 1949. You are about to assume the responsi- bilities of adult citizenship at a time when those duties are heavier than they have ever been before. We know that you will take these responsibilities in your stride, and we hope that your experiences here in Corona High School will help you in the performance of your duties as a citizen.” George M. Kirby Superintendent of Schools GEORGE M. KIBBY Superintendent of Schools MR. C. FINIS FRAZIER Principal Mrs. Mary Thomas Oh, dear, a special bulletin to get out!

Hob had very capable help in the other officers, Art White, vice-president; Betty Tucker, secretary; June Smith, treasurer, and Bob Allen, yell leader, who always led in “spelling out ‘Seniors’ In January the class presented its assembly, which was a good old-fashioned min- strel show with end men and Mr. Interlocutor. The Seniors all turned up with bright red faces after Ditch Day which was in May. Their Banquet and Prom was also given to them in May right before their last affairs in June — Class Day, Class Night, Baccalaureate, the Numeral Ceremony, and Commencement.

In our grammar school days we were always racing, Whether in raising money, or even in pacing. The hottest competitors were Jefferson and Lincoln, But Norco and Washington weren ' t so stinkin ' . Then Junior High, where we united as one. We continued working, getting things done. For the next .two years we were led by Morrell, And if you can remember, they were just swell. Scharli led the student body through our grade nine, To vote for her we stood ten deep in line; To her the honor of Sports Queen was given. That was her reward for good and healthy livin ' ! As new little Sophomores, feeling shy, We wanted Holton for president. Gee, what a guy! We were still new and young at the game. So we took it and learned when we got the blame. After the first semester of our late arrival. Were the amazing results of a startling survival; More Sophomores on scholarships than ever in history, And how we ever did it, is still a mystery. With a fine Junior year starting well on its way Forty-niners ' rings were seen on display. Blue and rose gold was quite the new thing, Who wouldn ' t be proud of a novel class ring? Soon came Lemonville; Juniors in charge. Big success! Reception was large! No booths outside, but a few in the dance, Confetti, serpentine, and fun at a glance. Then came the Spring, and an Easter parade Of powder blue sweaters never to fade. The emblem by Dup was a big forty-nine, The year when a heart could really pine. Later in March appeared the Junior class play, Which was said to be the best to its day. ' Twas a three-act comedy, Footloose , by name, Through which Morey and Jody rose to actors’ fame. Now, finally, at last the awaited date, The Prom! Oh, man! Gee, was it great! The Legion was host to a gay-nineties theme, And thinking back on it seems like a dream. Then, towards the end, with vigorous campaigning Was Student-Body election, a contest for reigning. ' Twas Morrell and Holton for president ' s place, And I know that you ' ve never seen such a close race. Ah, summer again, then the last year — What a thrill to spell Seniors loud and clear. Bob Allen was the guy who led all the yelling, We were proud to be Seniors, that ' s why we ' re telling. Of Joseph as treasurer, we really were fond, With nary a cent did he abscond. Gee Gee as head of the Coronal did fine, All you could hear when they came was Sign mine! Miss Corona was our own Scharli Lyon — For the rest of the girls, there was no use tryin ' . Arlene Wheeler was also crowned, As Queen of Hi-Jinks, fame and glory she found. One brand new thing that happened this year, We had co-valedictorians at Corona dear; Yes, Joseph and Holton came out the same Barely surpassing Gee Gee in fame. To C.H.S. we say goodbye, Although we ' re happy, there ' s a tear in our eye; We ' ll all go our different ways in the fall. But the Class of ' 49 will be remembered by all!

To make money for the Prom, the eager Juniors sold concessions at football games. The banquet and prom were given for the Seniors in grand style on May 27th. November 12th was the date of the annual Lemonville plays and dance, which were presented in the usual manner of excitement and good times. “A Murder Has Been Arranged”, the long-awaited Junior play was presented February 24th and 25th. Those who attended were mystified and thrilled — especially Dot Alvis.

S. history, American Problems, and a new 2-hour course combining U. S. history and English. The purpose of history was to acquaint the students with past history of the world, so they might better their own and their children’s future. The U. S. history and English combined course showed how closely knit the two subjects are and how one is useful to the other. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT . . . . The English classes were kept busy this year with book reports, panel discus- sions, orals, grammar, studies in American and English literature, and studies in creative writing. The Junior English classes held a mock presidential election. The drama class learned about drama in general and managed to give the Lemonville plays, “The Spell of the Yukon” and “Thank You Doctor”. The journalism class kept busy publishing the Ko-Hi-Nur every week, and furnishing KBUC with the news of Corona. They attended the annual journalism conference at Chaffcy College and went on a field trip through the L. A. l imes building. LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT . . . . 1 he Latin and Spanish classes spent most of their time translating stories from one language to another, with a minimum of time spent on grammar. Besides learn- ing the languages, much time was spent on people and their customs. The Latin class, of course, read “Julius Caesar”; and at Christmas time, the Spanish classes went around school caroling. The Latin class also visited the L. A. County Museum. During the second semester the whole department took part in a foreign language assembly. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT To teach the students a scientific attitude and to give them a better appreciation of science in their everyday life was the purpose of the chemistry, physics, and biology classes. Exhibits and experiments were also carried out by the students to give them a clearer picture of their problems. Chemistry and physics students also had lab work, so that they could get a practical viewpoint. HOMEMAKING DEPARTMENT .... With so much to offer, the homemaking classes this year have really accomplished their purpose of interesting both boys and girls in the ways of home and family living. M rs. Arnold, who is primarily the sewing teacher, saw the need for education in family problems, and therefore devoted class time to the discussion of these problems. The senior homemaking groups spent a semester dealing with marriage — before and after, while Mrs. Kamm’s division was “deliciously” entertained by cooking techniques. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT . The commercial department endeavored to give students a peek into the large business world that has so many opportunities for them. It not only taught them the skill of shorthand and typing but also helped students understand business forms and how to keep books for personal use as well as business purposes. I he outward signs of accomplishment in this department were the pins which were awarded for speed in both shorthand and typing. MUSIC DEPARTMENT T hroughout the year the Crimson and Gold Choir, band, and orchestra con- tributed much to the old Alma Mater. The music department not only provided entertainment for students and parents at school, but for many people at home listening over KBUC. The orchestra and choir, which got new crimson and gold robes this year, provided the musical part of every program, while the band put the pep into the pep assemblies and performed many clever stunts during half-time at the football games. It also entered many contests and brought home several trophies. ART DEPARTMENT . T he Christmas season offered a world of opportunity for showing off the talent of the art students. They decorated the hall with a big tree, and tinsel stars shone throughout the school buildings. All through the year someone from the art depart- ment kept fresh flowers in the main hall, and in many ways contributed to the beauty of the school. T he art department made trips to the Huntington Library and the L. A. County Museum at Exposition Park. DRIVERS’ EDUCATION .... The newest addition to the CHS curriculum this year was drivers’ education. For the students who did not know how to drive, it was a great opportunity, and tor the students who already knew how to drive, the course helped to correct bad habits, and to teach the proper way to drive. 1 his course was really one of the most inter - esting and exciting, because it offered both classroom study and actual behind the wheel driving. PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT .... Throughout the year the girls’ PE classes, besides their regular class work, took part in inter-class tournaments which built up a lot of spirit among the classes. 1 he girls played the usual sports — basketball, volley ball, specdball, hockey, soft- ball, and tennis. The boys just played — football, basketball, baseball, and track. Some went out for tennis. As an extra activity dancing classes were held to teach the funamentals of dancing to the students who didn t know them. 1 his proved to be very advantageous to these people. Manual training is given at CHS to give the boys (and girl) a practical and mechanical s.de of education In the wood shop classes, students make everything from stools to toboggans, while in the metal shop the boys weld, do metal work, and work on their tars. Another of the classes, mechanical drawing, gives the future architects a basis for further work in that field. This phase of schooling is designed to give the boys a chance to use their hands as well as their brains. ocat.onal ag had as its primary objective that of getting young men started m farming. I he boys learned by doing; their projects taught them the business and management of a farm. It also supplied the vital technical and scientific infor- mation necessary to become a successful farmer. Since these were the first ag classes in six years, the whole department went through a period of reorganization. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT “Let’s give ’em another big hand for a swell assembly!” So, we did! Nobody minded acting on one of David Holton’s requests. It was a pleasure, whether you were sitting in the audience at an assembly or a football game, where Dave also proved to be valuable to old Corona. As a leader in the many activities of which he was a part, Dave displayed his ability to the greatest extent in matters of student government as president of the Student Council. STUDENT COUNCIL Row 1: Jim Worthing, Bill Robertson, David Holton, Barbara Downs, Jim Ragsdale Row 2: Myron Joseph, Bill Zidbeck, Betty Dober, Pat Sparkman, Bobbie Brandon, Gee Gee Jewell The Student Council had many heated discussions on the up-to-date school problems. It handled and settled these problems with speed and efficiency under the leadership of David Holton, student body president. Some of the major problems were payment on the football bleachers, and spending excess funds. 1 he Student Council consisted of: David Holton, president; Betty Dober, vice-president; Bobbie Brandon, secretary; Myron Joseph, treasurer; Gee Gee Jewell, Coronal Editor; Bill Zidbeck, Coronal Business Manager; Jim Ragsdale, Fire Chief; John Shannon, Senior Class Representative; Barbara Downs and Bill Robertson, Junior Class Representatives; Pat Sparkman and Jim Worthing, Sophomore Class Representatives.

Those students who managed to get on Scholarship for four semest- ers, one of which was in the Senior year, received the honor of becoming Life Scholar- ship members. They were not announced until graduation. This year, for the first time, an educational trip was taken by the group. It is hoped that this can become an annual happening. Officers for the year were: presi- dent, Leonard Dueker; vice-president, Kay Seebold ; secretary-treasurer, Barbara Downs.

The society is for journalism students who wish to aim at higher goals in that field. The group decided that the newly organized Quill and Scroll was to be called the Lee Shippey Chapter, after a Los Angeles Times writer whom they heard speak at the journalism conference at Chaffey College. The initiation was held February 3rd at the home of Mr. Ritter, which began the year of good times and experiences.

For the first time in many years the staff sold advertising, which helped greatly in covering the expenses. Staff members also sold rooters’ caps during football season, adding more spirit to CHS games. The staff had a card party at their sponsor, Mr. Rit- ter’s, home early in the year, but most of the year consisted of meeting deadlines. (Editor’s note: Ha!)

BAND i his year under the leadership of Mr. Becker the band members gained much experience in the fundamentals of marching by performing during half time at the football games, and participating in several local parades. To complete the major portmn of the marching season, they went to Long Beach to compete with bands from all over Southern California, where they made a very commendable showing. The concert band, under the direction of Mr. Heckcl, gave its second annual concert in March, and competed in the state contest. Mr. Heckel also planned several ensembles and trips for the members of the band this year.

Due to the departure of Mr. Becker, the orchestra did not keep together as an organized club as it had in previous years. Throughout the year the orchestra played at the Thanksgiving and Christmas programs. The orchestra always provided the music between the acts of the different plays, the Junior play being the exception this year. Since the orchestra was actually part of the play, only the saxophone section was used.

Because of the large number of students that wanted to serve on the committee, the members had to be voted on this year. Mrs. Hyatt acted as supervisor, helping the members with such problems as time and content of the program that was to be presented. r , ■HWi. u WELFARE COMMITTEE .... Lupe Perez, Shirley Herman, Geneva Rogers, Geraldine Pauley “Don’t forget your Tuesday collection — ” no one did either. Due to the efforts of Lupe Perez, Shirley Herman, Geneva Rogers, Jerry Pauley, and Mrs. Arnold, the Welfare Committee, was very active this year. Money received from the Tuesday collections went for such causes as the cancer, tuberculosis, and polio funds. At the end of each quarter a dance was given as a reward for the classes that had 100 per cent. The girls volunteered at the beginning of the year for this committee. 1 hey corresponded with foreign countries, sent packages to CARE, as well as planning several assemblies, consisting of movies and speeches concerning different fields of welfare work. These four girls have really done a great job, and CHS is proud of them. SERVICE CLUB . . Under the guidance of Vliss Mary Healy, several irt students took special in- erest in this project of serv- Jo Ann De Gasser, Jeanne Dupuis, Elaine Bryant, Janice Bryan Ujcu ui avi - r . . g the school. This group was not without help, though, for Mrs. Kamm, with various home- aking girls, was ever-ready with artistic assistance. Although the work of this club was not confined to one definite group, the service itself was done effi- ciently and well. Such vol- unteer work as a bouquet of flowers for the main hall was a sign that some mem- bers of the student body were trying in a meager way to make old C.H.S. a cheerful home. Lemonville, annual play and dance, presented by the Junior Class, was held Friday, November 12, 1948, in the High School gym. The theme was “Lemonville” and was carried out in green, yellow, and white, with lemon trees “growing” in each corner. Long lemon branches stretched across each end of the gym . The plays were put on by the drama class. One, “Thank you Doctor,” was the story of an attempted jewel robbery; Jim Ragsdale and Jackie Stewart played the leads. The other play, “Service With a Smile”, was written by the drama class and took place in a saloon in the gold rush days. The Junior class executive board decorated the gym for the dance under the supervision of Rose Abercrombie, Decoration chairman. Concessions were sold under the chairmanship of Barbara Murphy. Class sponsors for this event were Miss Stone and Mr. Pauly. Miss Cogswell directed the plays. FOOTBALL BANQUET .... 1 he annual Lions Club “Father and Son” Football Banquet was held on Decem- ber 9. The banquet, which honored over 65 varsity and “B” football players, and their fathers, turned out to be a great success. John Wyrick, whose crashing work at fullback on the varsity squad, earned him a berth on the All-Tri-County eleven, was voted the “Most Valuable Player”. Mel- vin Knorr was chosen as the Bee’s “Most Valuable Player,” for his startling line play at guard. This year the boys were honored to have as their speaker, Bob Winslow, an assistant coach for the Trojans. Winslow was the man responsible for holding Notre Dame to a 14-14 tie last fall in the S.C. game. To conclude the evening, gifts were presented to the coaches from the boys on the two teams. CHRISTMAS PROGRAM .... A very impressive program was presented at Christmas by the Crimson and Gold Choir, the band, and the drama class. The choir sported its new crimson and gold robes for the first time at school, which added to the interest of the program. For the final number on the program, the choir united with the drama class to present “The Song of Christmas,” a Fred Waring number. The drama class made shadow pictures to illustrate the Scriptures, which were read by a member of the choir. Fitting music was sung for every scene appearing on the screen. The only light for this outstanding presentation was that of the candles held by the choir members. YELL LEADERS “Colton has Jazz, Colton has swing, But Corona High has EVERYTHING!” Linda Fair, Bill Zidbeck, Erma Bradbury If this didn’t make you go practically mad cheering, it wasn’t the fault of the yell leaders, Linda Fair, Erma Bradbury, and Bill Zidbeck. Even though No. 6 was banned early in the year, the cheers met with the approval of the Corona High rooters, as was evidenced by their hearty response. The yell leaders “fought vigorously” to get the rooters behind the team, introducing several new yells. Altogether they succeeded very well in imparting the spirit of the game to the “bleacher quarterbacks!” SONG LEADERS During football and basketball season, who was always on hand to see the teams through to victory — the song leaders, of course! In short, red corduroy dresses, trimmed with gold sequins, the song lead- ers made “quite a showing” during both seasons. Carrie Dalcamo, Jody Roos, and Jean Blair were the girls who did such a fine job singing the team to victory. Jody Roos, Carrie Dalcamo, Jean Blair QUEEN OP HI-JINKS HI JINKS Princess Bobbie Brandon, Princess Hazel Steele, Princess Jeanne Dupuis, Princess Joan Hogan, Princess Mary Hercer, Princess Virginia Jewell, Queen Arlene Wheeler Arlene Wheeler, Girls League president was crowned Queen of the annual Hi Jinks on March 11.

Horror struck the audience at the annual Junior Class play, when the ghost of Mr. Charles Jasper walked. On the night of February 25, this play was given, with the setting at the St. James Theater in New York. The legend of the theater was that the ghost of any man murdered on its prem- ises would walk. A dumb woman would appear just before the walking of the ghost, and she would be killed by that ghost. All happened as predicted; Maurice Mullins killed his cousin Charles Jasper to inherit the 2 million which would be his, if Mr. Jasper were dead before 11. The play was direetd by Miss Mary Cogswell.

Up to the present date, April 5, our Panthers are tied for the Tri-County base- ball lead with powerful lfell Gardens, at 3 wins and no losses.

La Jolla took Corona 4-2 ; and in the Anaheim game, Paul Regan singled in the seventh to drive in Contreras to give the Panthers a 5-4 victory..

The other singles men were Art White, Bill Roberts, Howard Hill, and Leonard Dueker, and the doubles men — Leon Kelley, Harvey Simpson, Don Root, and Bill Crossland. Because of a last-minute change in schedule, the Panther netters had no practice mat- ches, and they lost their first league match to Bonita by 6-3. Corona winners were Dave Holton at first singles, Bill Zidbeck at second singles, and Bill Roberts at fifth singles. Remaining to be played are matches with Bell Gardens on April 22, with Chino on April 26, and with Citrus on May 3. Of the eleven men listed above, only three.
