Corona High School - Coronal Yearbook (Corona, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 156 of the 1950 volume:

t Jitter to the Cditor Editor, 1950 Coronal Corona Senior High School Corona, California Sirs: I was very interested to read of your new book, the Coronal, espe- cially since once, in the-way-dist- ant-past, I, too, went to CHS, and edited such a book. As Spike Jones ' record says, Tis not the simplest situation, John, and al- though editing an annual is not the simplest work, I considered it the most interesting thing I had under- taken, and there was such a feeling of pride and satisfaction upon its completion. I can hardly claim all the laurels for myself though, when I had such a goodie staff to do the dirty work. Possibly you have heard of some of these people, so I would like to mention their names — Bill Zidbeck, Joan Velthoen, Jeanne Dupuis, Scharli Lyon, Kay Seebold, Jim Husted, Pat Spark- man, Barbara Downs, and a Jimmy Ragsdale. Then there were two others — rather inconspicuous people, but we must give to Caesar that which is Caesar ' s — Mary Cleopaterer Cogswell and Cilgarus Ritter. Truly though, I do hope you get the satisfaction from your publica- tion of the 50 Coronal, that I did from my annual work, and I know that you and your staff will put out a great book. See Gee Jewell Corvallis, Oregon. P.S. Sorry this was late — but then who ever met an annual deadline?

Barbara Downs Life on the Corona Senior High campus in 1949-50 has brought many thrills and joys that we will want to re-live — the exaltation felt by members of the band that moment in Long Beach Municipal Auditorium when the master of ceremonies announced that the sweepstakes trophy winner was Corona — the heartbreaking 35-0 set back at the hands of Bonita in that memorable championship tilt — the thrilling strains of The Hallelujah Chorus with which the Crimson and Gold Choir climaxed the annual Christmas program. It is in the hope that you might recapture and hold these as well as the thousand little common- places that gave high school years a very special place in our lives, that we of the Coronal staff have published this 1949-50 edition of the Coronal. — The Editor. ft . 373.1 K H5 £ c. | J etter to the Cditor Coronal, Corona, Calif. Sirs: Well, after two long years I still can t help but think of all the things that went into the making of that 1948 yearbook. Those meetings down at the Green Lantern Print Shop were something to remem- ber. Mr. Genung got such a kick out of hearing us talk about dealies, the word which applied to anything and everything. After the first few meetings, everyone on the staff was as busy as a bee working on the annual. The drawing up of the dummy, the scheduling of pictures, the issuing of assignments and their deadlines, the mounting of pictures for the cuts, and the reading of proof were in full swing before long. Then besides all the time spent and work done, there was always the fear that something or some- one might be left out that should be included. Also the anticipation of getting each page as it was completed to see if everything came out as well as the promising plans showed, gave you a sort of hold your breath feeling. Such were the worries of the Corona Senior High School Annua l’s 1948 editor! As I look back after two years have elapsed I still swell with pride because I feel that our 25th An- niversary Book was well received by both faculty and students. All the staff and Mr. Ritter should take a bow. I know you will get the same satisfaction when you have completed your book and it is in the hands of the eager student body. To hardworking editor Jimmy, his staff, and to his patient and untiring sponsor, Mr. Ritter, I send my most sincere wishes that the 1950 Coronal will be the best yet.

Tours the Campus Coronal Reviews Events of the Year Coronal Sports Reports Hyacinths and Biscuits Coronal Congratulates . . . Corona Senior High students have enjoyed the benefit of knowing a man who has steadily urged them to interest themselves in high values — a man who was always willing to give encouragement when it was most needed. C. H. S. students will not forget the insights he has shared to help them become better C. H. S., Corona, and U. S. citizens. Coronal cheerfully and wholeheartedly pays its highest honor and congratulations to an inspired classroom leader — Mr. Froseth. THE YEAR CORONAL PICTURES OF THE YEAR Coronal pictures of the year — These C.H.S. campus shots were taken by members of the Camera Club, the newest C.H.S. organization. Under the supervision of Miss Mary Cogswell, 18 amateur photogs had C.H.S. in focus all year. Shots on this page were taken by Dorine Moore, Ray Nichols, Jesse Garcia, and David James. A Coronal Editorial By J.R. • Amidst the whims, serious stuff, and clutter of our rush-a-day life at school, it is seldom that we take time to realize the values offered us by the great free educational system in the United States. But the values aren ' t all cashed in for us automatically. Our American birthright of educational opportunity regardless of our race or creed is an all-important heritage — and responsibility. Those of us who realize that we have to put out to capacity in order to cash in on the benefits of that heritage will be the men and women who will succeed in life and keep our nation ' s standards and ideals high. That ' s the way it is with life ' s wider opportunities beyond the last CHS textbook and exam and Hi-Y or Hi-Tri planning session. Those who just coast along, barely managing to meet requirements are wasting their birthright here; they are only spectators of school life; they aren ' t changing it, coloring its activities with their personalities, and living it. But those who come at the challenges of school life with the idea that top benefits come only though working to capacity will know how to cope with any challenge that the world has to offer later. We need the full benefits of our education now as has no other generation in history. We cannot say as Pop used to, Well, I reckon I ' ve learned my three ' r’s ' in school and have my education. With the scientific and social developments in our day moving at the pace they are, we cannot even imagine being satisfied with an education that hasn ' t given us experience in the kind of leadership that is gained by throwing our full energies into the over-all life of the school. We need this in addition to mastery of the skills. Now as we go on to college or employment seeking a higher degree of knowledge and usefulness — or, in the case of the sophs and juniors, as they work for a CHS diploma — let us go at it with the realization that the more energy we put out the greater will be the heights in life that we will attain. Qoe£ to a faculty Snack (Party SNACK PERIOD WAS LEGAL — Or at least that may be what the Corona Schools ' two top men, Supt. George Kibby and Assistant Supt. Sam Waldrip have found here in the California State Educational Code. THE BOARD ALSO APPROVED— On Mon- day evenings, the trustees solved this and a host of other school problems wise- ly. ..Board members are (left to right): Mr. James Rhodes, Mr. Jess Lilli- bridge, Assistanl Supr. S. E. Waldrip, Board Presi- dent John Colladay, Supt. George Kibby, Mr. Ray Williams, and Mr. John Madruga. THE MOUNTAIN CAME TO MOHAMMED — And the snack period came every morning on a tray to Mrs. Giersch and Mrs. Thomas. Mohammed couldn ' t have more richly deserved his mountain. BiG THREE CONFERENCE — while the coffee waits Coronal ' s look at life during faculty snack period in tho home- making rooms shows that there ' s a 12-minute morning interlude dur- ing which teachers are not the stern disciplinarians. While students enjoy their buns, orange juice, and milk — teachers also, as shown in this section ' s pic- tures, benefit from the one Corona High period that was made for sociability and nourishment. One can well imagino the intel- lectual remarks passed along these tables and tho judgments that are passed on the erring biology stu- dent or tho brilliant math student, A SMILE for snack period THE GREEKS DID IT ANOTHER WAY said World History teacher Taylor — but the look on History Teacher Ayllon ' s face proves that it couldn ' t have tasted any better. THUMBS UP! These lifesavers are life s-a-v-e-r-s! SURE! There ' ll be an annual AND — there was charming snack period conversation No matter what they said over the coffee, though, CHS students can never fully express their ap- preciation for the faculty ' s faith- fulness in helping along the way to learning. Students will reap the harvest in terms of personal power as they progress forward after graduafion into a world where wits and education will be matched against the complications of sur- vival in our atomic age.

DEAN AUSTIN -jour Senior Class History The Class of ' 50 hopped into their sophomore year at CHS by spon- soring a Hades Hop. Bill Robertson was chosen president of the class. Bill was succeeded by Rich Ortega in the Junior year. THE EVENT of the year was the gay Mardi Gras, the Junior-Senior Prom on May 27. Other big events of the year were Lemonville and the Junior Play, A Murder Has Been Arranged which was so dramatically staged that it sent screaming little girls up the aisle. After much campaigning in the spring elections for student body offices, Bill Robertson was chosen to lead the student body. Rony Agins was chosen vice-president; Jane Turner, secretary; Jim Husted, treasurer; and Jim Ragsdale, Coronal Editor. Then came the Senior year with all its privileges — the main one being that the Class of ' 50 left the auditorium while the lowly underclassmen waited. Valedictorian of the Senior Class was Bill Zidbeck and Salutatorian was Kay Seebold. Baccalaureate was on June 4 and Commencement exercises were on June 8. The Prom at which the Seniors were feted was on May 19. Senior Class officers were: President Morris Eaton Vice president Betty Hall Secretary Joyce Bridenstine Treasurer Pierre Arrateig.

On February 16 and 17, they gave the traditional Junior Play which was a hilarious comedy entitled THE PERFECT IDIOT. In November came Lemonville with all its fun and gaiety. A stand was sponsored by the Juniors at all the football games. The money raised from this and other projects was used for the annual gala event — the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet on May 27. Talent from the Junior Assembly was taken along on the Exchange Assembly. With President Don Gruner ' s transfer from CHS, vice- president Ronnie Statum took over the duties of president. Junior class secretary was Jerry Lou Emerson and treasurer was Jerry Lockwood.

The theme of the Soph assembly was the Barn Dance in which members of the class participated. Two acts of this assembly — Men From Mars ’and a pantomime, Senora — were good enough to go on the Exchange Assembly. On March 3 came the Paradise Island Hop, sponsored by the Sophomores. The B and C Combo supplied the music. Life size figures, tropical birds, flowers, fish, and palm trees were the decorations. In February, the Sophs chose their class ring from three samples They chose the American Beauty — style number I. The Sophomores also decorated the stage for the Baccalaureate Service. The poor Sophs thought it strange that, after every dance, they were on the clean-up committee. But, all in all, they say they had a neat year. Class officers were: President: Louis Delcamo Vice President: Margaret Stanley Secretary: Katherine Hacker Treasurer: Duane Olinger That Was Driuers’ Ed. Crime Doesn’t Pay One frosty morning with the smudge hanging in thick black clouds about three inches from the ground, we all piled into the drivers ed. car. After rolling the window down (good motorists always have their windows down for signaling) and letting in freezing breaths of icy air, we were on our way. I am not the world ' s worst driver, but I certainly run whoever it is a close second. I was doing about twenty going around the boulevard when ( always look ahead and anticipate traffic situations ) I noticed a dog looking as if he might be about to cross the street. So I slowed down — would have missed him too — but he sat down to scratch his fleas. I slammed on the brakes. When the instructor pulled himself out of the windshield, he said to me quietly, Don ' t slam on the brakes like that! — He would have gotten out of your way. — If you are going to run into anything I ' ll stop the car. You just drive. Never argue with the high command. Yes, sir, says I. Next block. I am driving along and an old man complete with a cane hobbles into the path of the car. On we go. About three feet away from him the instructor slams the brake on his side of the car. Were you going to run that man down? Or were you going to ask him to lie flat between the two wheels while you run over him? That is homicide! he added quietly. Pull to the curbing, give your right turn signal and let ' s have the next one. What a story! What a sensation! Call up Ragsdale and give him the dope so he can have his Big Story written. Wonder if he ' ll assign Front Page Downsy and Crime Photographer Ortega to the story. Yep! Here they come. What a reporting team they are! Al- ready they ' ve found the clue as to who stole Miss Healy ' s seating chart. That siren! Must be Eugene Michaels, the district attorney, coming to work on the case. That guy with him must be Don Ledford Harrington, his strong arm man. Gee, but those boys have brains. They ' ve already found another clue. They ' re leav- ing now. Oh boy, guess I ' ll follow them and see where they ' re going. Maybe they ' ll make an arrest. What are they stopping here for? It ' s right in front of Horace Andrade ' s shanty boat. No, it couldn ' t be! Not Horace that stole the chart! He ' s such an honest and law-breaking citizen. Here they come — and yes — they ' ve got Horace! He must have confessed and given himself up with- out a struggle. Seems as though the seating chart was showing that Horace had been ditch- ing his classes. Instead of being caught, Horace stole the chart and burned it so Miss Healy wouldn ' t know where he sat and could count him absent. They ' ll send him up the river for arson and burglary. There were some good outcomes though. Downsy got her front page story written, Ortega took his prize picture of the month, and Ragsdale got his Big Story and out scooped the other papers. fage thirty-six . . . J eportA And There Was The Intellectual Side Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life! CHS students have learned safer and better driving prac- tices through the Driver ' s Education Course required at CHS. Mr. Waymon Shofstall is instructor, and can be seen around town, showing people how, in his red-and- yellow panther car. STOP NOW... You’re breaking my heart! The science department at Corona High was expanded this year by the introduction of the course, Physiology — the Study of the Human Body and Its Functions. This course was taught by Mr. Pape. Other subjects relating to science and taught at school this year have given the students a broader viewpoint of the scientific H-Bomb world in which they live. Here is a brief review of the courses and their instructors: Physics a study of the laws of nature; chemistry — a study of elements and their properties; psychology — behavior of living organisms; biology — study of plants and animals; and mathematics — algebra, geometry and trigonometry. Instructors were: Mr. Pape — physics, chemistry, and psychology; Mr. Coon, biology; and Mr. Froseth, math. fage thirty-seven MMM! Calf brains, raisins, and strawberry juice! Everyone wants to be a success in life and in the vocation he chooses. Girls, and sometimes boys, find it a great asset to have had the homemaking courses taught by Mrs. Arnold and Mrs. Kamm. The girls learn all the phases of being a housewife from both the psychological and the practical standpoints. To students interested in a business vocation, Mr. Bynum and Mrs. Griswold teach typing, shorthand, transcription, and bookkeeping. LOOKING IT UP — Two members of the CHS smart set do research at the hub of CHS facts and figures. A merchant, carpenter, or architect of the future needs the training in metal or wood shop or mechanical drawing that he gets in his high school years. These courses were taught by Mr. Pauley and Mr. Brooks. HOW MUCH WOOD would a woodchuck chuck? INSPECTOR GENERALS pave thirty-nine KA-AAA-CHU! Flowers give me hayfever! Michaelangelo and Da Vinci would be astonished and pleased to see students of 15 through 18 produo artistic displays in carving and painting. In the art department Miss Healey teaches her pupils the important of art in our lives and an appreciation of the subject. The students draw still-life, portraits, realistic, and almost every imaginable type of artistic work. Any tins one visits that department he sees all the colors of the rainbow on paper in harmony and rhythm. Also at CHS is offered glee club, band, and orchestra. Under the direction of Mr. Heckel and Mr. Farm these groups assisted in the Christmas, Thanksgiving, and all other special assemblies that needed their help. During the football games the marching band added color to the games with its drills in the field during hall times. THERE ' S SOMETHUN ' ABOUT A HOME TOWN BAND . I ■ r.nr. As the world grows older, so does its history. Today the history is changing quickly and it is up to the individual to understand its progress. In Corona Hi, students study history to profit by past mistakes, to study the present and future, and the many problems that will come. Sophomores learn that the world is many centuries old, and Mr. Taylor and Mr. Ayllon teach them of its development. Historically, our students received much instruction in United States History from Mr. Ayllon and Mr. Ad- dison. The Story of America, a weekly KBUC pro- gram, was produced by The Literature and History o. America class. American Problems, politically and socially, are studied and understood by the seniors. The class instruct.- is Mr. Keers. Students from Corona are ready to challenge the world s tough political problems; from CHS corridors will come statesmen, lawyers, historians, and — maybe, history teachers. A world without language would hardly be imagin- able — but that ' s the way it was one day. QUE TAL? Today, though, every nation and people converse because systematic languages have been developed. Coronans speak English and learn it well during their high school years. This learning helps them in planning for the future that awaits them. The teachers of this subject are Miss Escalante, Mr. Ritter, Mrs. Hyatt, and Mr. Jones. El Camino Real — the King ' s Highway was the Spanish book from which Miss Escalante taught first and second year students. The bo ok emphasized the culture of the Spaniards in addition to their native tongue. The classes had many activities in connection with the Spanish Club and are now the masters of two languages. Latina est pulchra lingua! — Yes, Latin is a rather beautiful language. It has been said— and rightly so — that Latin is the basis of all languages. Learning the romance of the Roman history and language, the students are greatly impressed. The class instructor, Mrs. Hyatt, also was sponsor of the Latin club. THAT ' S A LOT OF BULL — and the ribbon they brought home from the Indio Fair proved it. Agriculture will be the profession of some CHS students and their learning in Ag under the direction a MacFarland will be invaluable in that field. The boys have projects of raising their own animals and the farming as it really is. AND THE MERRY- GO-ROUND BROKE DOWN fage forty-two TjourA the CatnpuA CHS PREXY — With a cheery smile and friendly hello, one CHS ' er seemed to stand out from all the rest. Whether in sports, in the classroom or in student body affairs, Bill Robertson always took the lead. A willing worker and an able leader, Robertson led the Student Body through a most successful year as Stu- dent Body president. The big hand he got at the beginning of every assembly showed the students ' loyalty to him. Student Council • The governing body of CHS, the Student Council, turned social for a hay ride and wiener balce held in March. However, this was a climax to a year of hard work spent planning and regulating student activities. Creation of a student court was one of the Council ' s major achievements in 1950. The Council met twice a month and under the supervision of H. I. Froseth, sponsor, led CHS through a most successful year. Officers for ' 49 and ' 50 were Bill Robert- son, president; Rony Agins, vice-president; Jane Turner, secretary; Jim Husted, treasur- er; Jim Ragsdale, Coronal editor; Jerry Lou Emerson, Coronal business manager; and Jack Cahall, fire chief. Under the new system, more representa- tives from the classes were chosen as mem- bers of the Student Council. They were Jackie Stewart, Jenny Adamo, seniors; Paul Reagan, Claude Ragsdale, Ruth Baxter, and Tom McCauley, juniors; and De Lois Pruitt, Louis Luna, Clark Yates, and Joe Tenney, sophomores.

THE MAN WITH THE BEST SUGGESTION is a title that could be applied to H. I. Brick Froseth. As Student Coun- cil advisor, he made suggestions that were always gladly accepted especially when the Council was stumped. The members of the Student Council will always remember his smiling face and easy manner and appreciate all his help. Coronal NO WONDER ...

Maybe some people don ' t have the idea that the Coronal staff is an organization, but it must be organized to get this annual to the students before school is out. Editor Ragsdale changed the publication system this year somewhat. Each section was assigned to a separate editor who was in charge of having all pictures taken and all copy typed and in on time. Although many hours went into the 1950 Coronal, the staff spent many hours of pleasure working together. THE BIG BOSSES— Looking Intelligent?????

Pinafore, a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta was presented by the Corona High Glee Club in April, as a climax to its year ' s work. There were many outstanding voices in the choir, so Director Farmer thought the operetta was the best way to recognize them. Miss Mary Cogswell directed the acting while Mr. Farmer handled all the music. In addition, the Glee Club, better known as the Crimson and Gold Choir, presented its annual Christmas program, sang for various community affairs and also took part in the C.H.S. exchange assembly. As an organization, this club had the following officers: Rony Agins, presi- dent; Hilda Childress, secretary; Phil Nudson, librarian; Betty Pitts and Christine Roberts, robe chairmen. fage forty-jour Song Stars — Joe Val- lenari and Betty Schneider in H.M.S.

You see them rushing madly about trying to get the paper out on time, only to have everyone down their necks because they printed the wrong thing. That is the life of a journalist and the Ko Hi Nur staffers are learning young. Howevor, the two staffs enjoyed their work and would do it again if given the opportunity.

CABINET It was new! It was fun! And it promoted a friendly spirit between Claremont girls and Corona girls! What was it? IT was the taco feed given by the Corona senior G.A.A. girls for the Claremont senior G.A.A. a few weeks after the Speedball Playday. This proved to be one of the highlights of what has been a most successful year for the Corona G.A.A. Corona played hostess to speedball teams from the five other schools of the Tri-County League at the annual Speedball Playday held January 28. In tilts against other schools in this event, Corona came out fairly well with the sophomores and juniors on top and the freshmen and seniors being defeated. Basketball proved to be the best sport for the G.A.A. in ' 49. The four teams returned undefeated from the playday held at Citrus. All teams won, ex- cept for the seniors, who tied in an exciting game against the Chino seniors. Hockey really banged up most of the players but Droved to be exciting for all who participated. This vas especially true in the case of the sophomores, vho began playing hockey for the first time. Baseball, volleyball, archery and tennis were also ncluded in the after-school sports program for girls. Leading the G.A.A. for ' 49 and ' 50 were Lois Dillon, resident; Eva Cheaney, vice-president; Marilyn Popp, ecretary; Phyllis Bailey, treasurer; and Mrs. Lois Tait, ponsor. THE G.A.A.

This club is for all boys making their letter in varsity sports. To be a full fledged member, the lettermen initiation must be endured. This is considered about the roughest event of the year but very few boys fail to survive. This organization helped to purchase the new warm-up suits used by the varsity basketball team and the glass pole- vaulting pole.

Other activities to raise money included the initiation, and the club also sold food at many of the basketball games. With the proceeds from these various activities, members helped the Varsity lettermen purchase the basketball warm-up suits and a glass pole vaulting pole. President of the club was Dee Pritchett; with Bob Clements, vice president; and Jim Coleman, secretary-treasurer. Wayne Taylor sponsored the organization. fage fifty-jour ■page fifty-five THE MORE THE MERRIER — but too many to name!! Some 70 girls enjoyed the many activities of Hi Tri this year, making it the largest membership that the local club has had yet. At the beginning of the year, it was decided to keep the organization together instead of having a Sophomore club and a Junior-Senior group. Highlight of the year was the annual Hi Tri Valentine formal held this year in the Women ' s Clubhouse with music furnished by Pat McGill. Thirty girls attended the annual midwinter conference at San Diego State College. From the many discussion groups, the girls brought back quite a variety of ideas on dating, decorat- ing, and just plain having fun. The Hi Y and Hi Tri got together for a couple of socials including a square dancing shindig and a skating party. Other activities included the big Christmas welfare project, football dance, Mother ' s Day tea, Father ' s night, the Christmas alumnae dance, a progressive dinner, and a very interesting speaker who talked on color combinations. Officers for the year were Barbara Downs, president; Rose Abercrombie, vice-president; Mary Joan Storm, corresponding secretary; Pat Olson, recording secretary; Barbara Shockley, treasurer; Miss Helen Stone, advisor; and Mrs. Edwin Bryant, president of the ready and willing Mother’s Council. fage fifty-iit T R I MOTHERS ' COUNCIL OF HI-TRI They worked hard.

The Hi Y is a branch of the Y.M.C.A. for boys of high school age. Although Corona has no Y, the Hi Y is still active at CHS. This year Hi Y members had a big initiation for the new members who had to dress as girls, parade around in town, and really make fools of themselves. The Hi Y ' s concessions at both Lemonville and the Hallowe ' en Carnival made money. Along with the Hi Tri, the Hi Y had socials and attended the Hi Y-Hi Tri conference $t La Verne College. The club was under the presidency of Richard Ortega with Robert Henson as vice-president; Don Gruner, secretary; and Dee Pritchett, treasurer. Don Gruner left at the end of the first semester and Gerald Gaddie was elected to serve in his place for the remainder of the year. fage fifty-eight SELF-SUPPORTING??

The Corona organixation of Future Farmers of America, started off its second year at CHS with a bang! It took second place in the judging event at the Bank of America field day held in Escondido in December. This makes the boys second in all Southern California in their judging ability. Also bringing in honors for Corona was Richard Ortega, who won second place in the individual judging. He was only three points behind the first place winner from Hemet. The members of this club are all students of Mac MacFarland ' s Vocational agriculture classes. They all have their own home projects as well as school projects. Officers for this past year were Clay Nichols, president; Richard Ortega, vice-president; Darryl Mierhoff, secretary; and Ray Nichols, treasurer.

There members saw a play acted entirely in Espanol and got to try out their abilities in speaking and understanding the language. Members also went caroling at Christmas time, singing in Spanish of course! The programs for the monthly meetings were furnished by the various Spanish classes, each one taking charge of a separate meeting. Any student taking Spanish at C.H.S. is eligible for membership but is not compelled to join.

The Latin Club didn ' t stick entirely to the ancient Roman customs. In fact, they formed something new at CHS. A rooters club to boost all school activities and to help publicize school events was formed by the members of the Latin Club. The usual Roman banquet with all the trimmings was also held. The main money making project was a candy sale held late in the year. This is the third year the Latin Club has been active at CHS. New officers were elected for each semester. Those serving for the first of the year were Arlene Isgrig, president; Grace Hutchison, vice-president; and Betty Schneider, secretary- treasurer. Second semester officers were Suzanne Penland, president; Carol Lee Matthews, vice- presidnt; and Pearlie Madron, secretary-treasurer. ■page sixty-six First semester cabinet — Grace Hutchison, Arlene Isgrig, and Betty Schneider.

SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY— This is about the only organization at CHS which still requires a knowledge of the 3 R ' s for membership. Students must receive a certain number of A ' s and B ' s to earn 10 points in order to qualify. Seniors who have studied hard enough to belong four semesters — one of which must be in their senior year — are awarded life scholar- ship pins at graduation time. Pictured above are only the second semester members. Following the first semester of 1949, 67 members qualified, the largest number to belong at one time in the school ' s history. They com- prised one-seventh of the entire student body. Officers for the past year were John Labrum, president; Pat Olson, vice-president; and Sally Becker, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Hazel Hyatt served as advisor.

THEY WERE THE MOST VALUABLE WHILE THE BIG DRUM BOOMED That Saturday in Long Beach town, ' Most all the world was there. The street was lined with gentlemen Beside their ladies fair. They came to see the marching bands And watch them all perform; There couldn ' t be clouds or rain that day Nor could there be a storm. There were lots of fancy bands that day All polished and shined fit to kill; Bands that couldn ' t do fancy stuff Might just as well keep still. Just hidin ' among those big-time bands, A waitin ' and takin ' it in, Was a wee little band from Corona town, Feelin ' small and lookin ' real thin. Waitin’ for hours while the fancy folk strutted A haulin ' marimbas on wheels. Guess David walkin ' to meet Goliath Must have known how a little band feels. At last a man said, Corona, take the street; Get out in that crowd and play; The people want music, so .make it sweet If you want to win a prize today. There ' s been some good tootin ' done before; Gabriel blows a mighty mean horn, But the Corona band made the finest tunes Since Adam and Eve were born; Old judge, he looked and fell off his chair He couldn ' t see nothin ' anywhere wrong. Old judge took a listen and jumped in the air; Corona music made him young and strong. Old judge had a cup like a tall gold bucket He was keepin ' all day for the very best band; Old judge, he shouted, Here they are! Best tootin’ outfit in the land. — Mr. Jones ■page seventy-six EVENTS WERE SERIOUS AND GAY THEY KISSED WHEN THEY SAID GOOD-BYE TOWARD A HAPPY CHS CHRISTMAS � W A i JA GAA INITIATION DAY STYLES SENORA Sports J e ports Six Reasons for the Spirit, Pep and Rhythm a t every Game Champion Sparh Plugs Something new was added to CHS this year.

The tactics, supervisions, and the physical fitness of a football team can often mean the difference between a cha mpionship and a cellar dwelling ball club. Through the unfailing efforts and keen supervision of Head Coach Wyman Shofstall, assistant coach Bob Keers, line coach Wally Coon, and end coach Bill Heckert, combined with good material, the 1949 Corona Panthers tied with Chino and Citrus for second place in the Tri-County League.

BEAUMONT Pleasing a jam paclted home town crowd the Corona Panthers quickly shifted into high gear and steam rolled over a light but fast Beaumont squad 21-6. Robert Broyles, Dee Pritchett and Ronny Statum were the big guns in the Corona attack as they each scored touch- downs. The most spectacular run of the night was Stat- um ' s 39 yard touchdown run on which he displayed an all-around job of open field running. Broyles made good two conversions while Manuel Mendoza kicked the other. CORONA VS. COLTON Playing host to their most bitter rivals, the Colton Yellowjackets, the Panthers more than avenged last year ' s loss as they “lowered the boom on the Yellowjackets 19-6. Fullback Ronny Statum sparked Corona with two touchdowns, while End Morris Eaton picked up an op- ponent ' s fumble and romped 40 yards for the other T.D. Bob Broyles kicked the extra point. CORONA VS. BONITA Sparking a Southern victory 15-7, in the beautiful Mt. San Antonio Memorial Stadium, the Corona Panthers had little if any trouble in beating Bonita ' s Bearcats 7-0. Halfback Richard Ortega skirted end on a reverse for 20 yards to Bonita ' s one-yard line, from where Mount Parks plunged over. Manuel Mendoza converted. CORONA VS. PUENTE Working like a well oiled timepiece the Panthers me- chanically ticked off yardage as they soundly trounced tho Puente Warriors 34-14. Robert Broyles and Danny Escobar, two Corona tailbacks, had a field day as they ran wild over the men of the orange and black. Broyles sped to three touchdowns on jaunts of 15, 35, and 88 yards. Then Escobar went to work, pitching a 30 yard touchdown pass to End Morris Eaton, and tallied once himself on a 25 yard run. Manuel Mendoza kicked four out of five conversions. CORONA VS. CHINO Stymied for the first time in four games, the Panthers were handed their first league setback at the expense of the Chino Cowboys, 12-0 . Chino ' s quarterback Henry Guillen proved to be the deciding factor as he scored both of the Cowboys T.D. ' s. CORONA VS. CLAREMONT Tusseling with a solid socking Claremont eleven, the Shofstall men led by Tailback Robert Broyles, who romped to two touchdowns, emerged victorious, bypassing the Wolfpack 13-0. Mendoza kicked the only extra point. CORONA VS. CITRUS Behind the hard running and thread and needle passing of Tailback Robert Broyles, the Panthers dumped an injury-riddled Citrus eleven, 27-6. Besides scoring once himself, Broyles passed 35 yards to End Jim Ragsdale for one T.D. and connected on another touch- down pass to Morris Eaton for 27 yards. Fullback Mount Parks scored the other T.D. Manuel Mendoza made good three out of four conversions. CORONA VS. BONITA Playing for the Tri-County League Championship the Panthers were beaten by a classy Bonita eleven 35-0. Led by All-Tri-County Halfback Frank Dennis, who scored three times, the Bearcats ended all hopes of a Corona championship. Thus: Bonita took the Champion- ship as Corona tied for second with Chino and Citrus. fage eighty-one InR .• ' . ..9 (wingback), Pritchett, (tailback) OTHER LETTERMEN Co-captain Robert Broyles and guard Harold Nicholson were awarded berths on the -first string All-Tri-County team, which was selected by the T.C.L. football coaches.

C o - T i 1 1 i $ t s Under the capable leadership of Coaches Wayne Taylor and Frank Kamm the Corona B football squad established for itself a noteworthy record in this year’s light weight division. In building up this distinguished record, the Panther Kittens brought home a co-championship which they shared with the Chino lightweights. The Bee football machine rolled up 176 points in eight games while they limited their opponents to 87 points. CORONA VS. ANAHEIM In the first. practice tilt of the seasons, Paul Regan led the Bee ' s to a smashing 13 to 0 triumph over the Anaheim Colonists. Regan, the Kittens ' stellar quarterback, threw a 22 yard touch- down pass to end Bob Holmes, and then on the last play of the game, scampered 78 yards to pay dirt to cinch the victory. CORONA VS. CHINO Rallying late in the fourth quarter, Corona came from behind to down a well-knitted Chino squad 14-13. Guard Rony, with a safety to his credit, was the outstanding line man of the game. Bill Robertson and Bob Clements combined their talents in the backfield in helping the Kittens win this crucial game. CORONA VS. HEMET Playing a rough and tough brand of football, spearheaded by fullback Bill Robertson and left half, Bobby Clements, the Kittens had very little trouble overrunning a helpless Hemet team 39-0. CORONA VS. SOUTH PASADENA Alas, all good things have to come to an end. This the lightweights found out when they played host to a powerful group of footballers from Pasadena. The Kittens although going down in defeat, looked like a real contender for the T.C.L. championship, as they later proved they were. At the final gun, Pasadena led 31-14. CORONA VS. PUENTE Versatile Bill Robertson, speeding 98 yards to a touchdown, all but broke the Puente Bee’s back, as he led Corona to a convincing 32-0 win over a mediocre Puente eleven in the first league game of the season. CORONA VS. FULLERTON Playing an undefeated Fullerton eleven, the Corona light- weights were led by Fullback Bill Robertson, who scored three touchdowns. The lightweights emerged victorious over a strong Fullerton squad 25-22. CORONA VS. CITRUS Hitting hard and fast the Corona Kittens dumped a weak Citrus eleven, 26-0, thus chalking one more off the to be beaten list on their march to the co-championship. CORONA VS. BONITA November the 18th proved to be a disastrous night for Corona. Not only was the Varsity knocked out of the running for the League Crown, but the Bee ' s were also beaten. Besides being handed their second loss of the season, they were forced to share the Tri-County League Title with Chino, which they would have otherwise had to themselves.

Soto in back. Cross Country For the first time in CHS history, there was a cross-country team at CHS. Corona ' s ace miler, Fred Montejano, took continual first places, with the phenomenal Dave Castillo, starting late in the season taking a third in his first meet. The course along Valley View in Norco was said by com- petitors to be the most popular in Southern California. The course, a little under two miles, is excellent training for boys who expect to go out for track, as it takes place in the fall. The high-lights of the season were the skunking of Santa Ana, when the Corona distance men didn ' t allow them a place, and the narrow victory over South Pasadena, 28 - 27. Five places are awarded for each school entered in a meet. The other runners besides Fred and Dave who al- ways placed were Reuben Soto, Eugene Hauet, Jim Husted, Bobby Taylor, and Virgil Stambaugh. Corona lost meets to Colton, Riverside, and lost out in the Mt. San Antonio J. C. and San Diego State meets, while winning over Redlands, Santa Ana, and South Pasadena, improving as the season grew older. ■page eighty-eight VARSITY BASKETBALL Eaton is slowed down in Alumni game by Simp- son, ON THE Not so lucky as the Panther Kittens, the Varsity basketball brigade under the whip wielded by Coach Wayne Taylor, weathered smouldering at- tacks and captured a third place berth in the T.C.L. casaba scramble. When Co-captain Morris Eaton, the only return- ing letterman, broke his ankle in the third game of the season, the Panther hopes in Tri-County looked very dim. Eaton was unable to play until the third game of the second round of league competition. But Tony Carranza, Jim Ragsdale, and Jim Hatcher — up from last years Bee team — proved to be very helpful. Along with Ronny Statum they formed the backbone of the team. Because the team was composed mostly of sophomores and juniors, the prospects for next year look brighter. Employing the UCLA racehorse style the Panthers won 7 and lost 14 games this year for a dismal sea- son. After losing games to Tustin, (33-37); Colton, (25-55); and Hemet, (26-29); the Panthers finally hit the win column as they overwhelmed an Orange quintet 32-20. But they went on to lose the next four encounters to Riverside (26-40); Perris (44-51); Coachella (38-43); and Orange (31-33). • But to start off the league, the Crimson and Gold, led by scrappy Tony Carranza soundly spanked the Norm Tompkins, Forward Jim Hatcher, Guard Morris Eaton, Forward m ' HARDWOOD Puente Warriors, 39- 1 8. But then came Henry Guil- len of Chino to lead the Cowboys to a convincing 43-14 win over the Panthers. Towering Bill Story, Claremont ' s All-TCL center flipped 18 points through the hoop to lead the Wolf-pack to a lop- sided 51-19 triumph. Then came the Citrus Cou- gars to sink their claws into Panther meat for a scanty 39-36 victory. Not many will forget the 19 point barrage of Co-captain Tony Carranza as he led Corona to a 46-38 triumph over Bonita. To start off the second round, the Taylor-coached five redoubled its efforts to trounce Puente 54-45. But again came Chino and Claremont and respec- tive scores of 26-42 and 45-64. In an overtime game Corona poured in 14 points during the extra three minutes to down Citrus 63-53. Never to be forgotten was the 20 points racked up by Jim Rags- dale, Corona ' s ace center. In the season final Harold Hurt of Bonita burned the nets for 25 points to upset the Panthers 57-37 and thus end a mediocre season for the Panthers. Tony Carranza who poured 166 points through the nets this season along with Ronnie Statum were awarded forward spots on the All-Tri-County second team.

Clawing and fighting their way to a co-championship in the Tri-County League lightweight division, the Corona B Squad under the very capable supervision of coach Frank Kamm chalked up a record of 14 wins and 9 losses in the 1949 and 50 campaign. In nine pre-season games the Panther Cubs came out on the short end of a 5 and 4 record. Corona downed Tustin in their first game of the season 33-30. Two of the Panther ' s setbacks came at the hands of a powerful Orange High quintet, who beat the Corona lightweights to the tune of 35-30 in their first encounter and 46-39 in the second fray. In the Bonita B Basketball Tournament the Panther Kittens lost two straight engagements. The first setback was suffered at the hands of Monrovia in a 39-29 defeat. Bonita downed Corona 43-31 in the second tournament encounter. Corona hitting the victory trail rolled over Riverside 35-30. Perris and Coachella offered the Panther Kittens very little opposition by going down in defeat 43-20 and 40-24 respectively. Swinging into league play the Kitten five downed Puente 36-21 in the first round of league play and 29-19 in the second round. Chino handed Corona their first league setback in the form of a 49-40 defeat. In the second round the Cowboys from Chino again squeezed by Corona by a score of 22-18. In both Claremont encounters the Panther Kittens came out on the long end of a 61-30 score and a 25-13 victory. Citrus was also dumped twice by the win hungry Kittens from Corona. In the first encounter the Corona team wallaped the Cougars 41-26. Citrus, game but outman- ned, went down under the vicious claws of the Panthers 49-36 in the second round. Avenging their pre-season defeat at the hands of Bonita, the Corona squad downed the Bear-cats twice in league play. Both games were nip and tuck all the way. In the first game the Corona lightweights squeezed by Bonita 32-30 and in the second game the Panther Kittens garnered a 29-26 triumph. Corona participated in three other non league games before entering the Santa Monica Tournament. The Panther Kittens gained a victory over Grossmont 47-33 and the Saint Augustine Saints 42-34. Playing one of their off games the Kittens went down in defeat to a mediocre Hemet five 26-23. In the first game of the Santa Monica Tournament the Corona quintet was knocked off 52-35 by a powerful Santa Monica aggregation. Tom McCauley. Kitten guard who was elected Captain, was Corona ' s leading scorer with a total of 250 points for 22 games. Paul Regan was McCauley ' s nearest threat with 207 points.

Finally breaking into the win column the lightweights from Corona knocked over Fallbrook 23-20. A strong team from Torrance snowed the Panther C ' s under 40-22.

The track team of 50 although small in number proved itself to be one of the strongest if not the strongest in Tri-County. t2i This is the point winning 880 relay combination that carried the mail around the oval, upturning cinders as they flashed by, to cinch many a victory for Corona. Left to right are: Broyles, Shaw, Jensen, and Robertson. page ninety-six and Field The sprinters for the Panthers this season were Bob Broyles, Bill Robertson, and Sam Jensen. Running the 440 were Tri-County champ Jim Shaw and Eugene Hauet. Shaw running the quarter mile for the first time this year, turned in a 52.4. In the half mile Corona was also very strong with Johnny Lo Porto, Roy Cox and Bobby Taylor. With dependable Fred Monte- jano back again along with Richard Edwards the Panthers were again hard to beat in the mile. Fred set a new school record with a time of 4:45.5. Bob Holmes, Wayne Channel and Phil Nudson in the hurdles gave Corona a combination which scored heavily in every meet. Equally as strong in the field events, the Crimson and Gold boasted Bob Gross and Harold Nicholson in the shot; Robertson and Broyles in the broad jump; Channel and Holmes again combined their talents in the high- jump; and Iselin in the pole vault.

Many of the top light weights moved up from B competition to the varsity bracket. Joe Vallenari and James Harvey gave th? Panther Kittens a real threat in the 100-220 against the top Tri-County league competitors. In the middle distances the Panther lightweights! boast two top notch 660 men, Frank Young aocl Jim Husted.

Both boys were consistent poin earners for the light weights. page ninety-eight David Castillo and Lloyd Clarlto give the Corona squad a real punch in the 1320. Corona has two powerful lightweight broad- jumpers in Richard Hoover and Bob Clements. Bob Dietz is the only Panther Kitten hurdler but he is a consistent scorer in this event. The B relay team is composed of Joe Vallenari, Richard Hoover, Clifford Hacker and James Harvey. This foursome was a real challenge to any relay squad in the Tri-County league. Richard Hoover was a consistent point gatherer for the Panther Kittens this year. His specialty was the pole vault. Bill McCarty was also a top notch lightweight pole vaulter. Myron Truesdale and Jim Whivney teamed up to give the B ' s a powerful set of shot putters.

On the Diamond The Corona High Baseball team under the supreme coaching of Coach Bob Keers prepared without fanfare to become one of the strongest teams in Tri-County. Although ineligibilities hurt the Panthers during the early season, the sophomores had to fill their shoes, they came through in fine style to round out a strong Panther nine. Although being on the short end of a two-win-five loss record, as of April I, the Panthers are rated to finish high in the T. C. L. baseball scramble. Having only two days of practice the Corona nine played host to Riverside Poly and went down fighting 4-2 in a practice tilt. In a tight pitching duel between Ray Gardner of Riverside and Rich Ortega of Corona the Panthers were again edged out 2 - 1 . Bobby Perez made history at C.H.S. as he pitched the first no-hit-no-run baseball game in the history of the school as he led the Panthers in beating our old nemisis. Bonita, 12-0 in the conference opener. Lou Uribe, regular Corona catcher, almost duplicated Perez ' s feat as he blanked Orange 9-0 with a one-hitter in a non-conference game. Then the roof caved in as the Panthers went on to lose their next three games, losing to Puente 6-4, Chino 4-3, and Orange 4-3. Pa e one hundred Coach Keers gives the infield practice The Horsehiders Because of our deadline for the annual, it was im- possible to print the results of the other games. But it could be safe in saying that the Panthers would be very tough and should finish high in Tri-County. Pos- sessing the great battery combination of All-Tri- County Catcher Lou Uribe, and Rapid Bob Perez doing the chucking the Panthers were a much feared team throughout the league. Four Panthers boasted batting averages of .300 or more. Luna had an aver- age of .413, followed by Eaton with .389, Castillo with .357, and Ortega with .300.

Entering the Consolation Bracket, Bob Perez, Corona ' s ace right-hander held Lenzinger High to four hits as Lou Uribe drove out a homerun with Rich Ortega on base to give the Panthers a 3-1 triumph. But Grossmont proved their undoing in the next game as Corona was edged out of the tournament — losing to the Foothillers 3-2.

After dropping two practice matches to Elsinore and Orange in pre-season competition, the Panthers ended their winning drought by de- feating the Puente Warriors 6-3, Perris 6-3, and Citrus 5-4. This year ' s varsity squad started with all new players with the exception of Jack Dolan and Bill Zidbeck, who returned to the courts to earn their three-year letters. Russell Pfeiffer, Howard Hill, Jack Cahall, Tony Car- ranza, David Garcia, Pierre Arrateig, Jerry Layton, John Howard, and Jerome Ross made up the rest of the Panther team. (The players ranked in the above order.) The Panther ' s losses this year were anything but lopsided. They lost to both Bonita and Chino with scores of 5-4. Next year ' s team will be made up of six men of this year ' s squad. Coach Coon, who took over the tennis coaching position for the first time this year, expects to have the league ' s top net team in 1951. Panther Net Men Pictured at the top are Howard Hill, fourth singles and Russell Pfeifer, third singles. At the right are: (l-r) John Howard, Jerry Layton and Jack Cahall.

Tournaments were held in the various classes with class winners playing off for the championship. In G.A.A., the basketball teams returned, undefeated from the Claremont sponsored play- day at Citrus.

Although the tennis team ' s league games did not begin until May, it played many practice games with Elsinore, Hemet, and Perris to get in shape. A doubles ladder was introduced this year, but members of the teams could also be switched if it was for the good of the team. On April I, the following girls were in this position on the tennis team: Marybelle Hillhouse, first singles; Eva Cheaney, second singles; Mary Camacho, third singles; Dede Layton, fourth singles; and Lucille Wingo, fifth singles. The doubles team was comprised of Pearlie Madron and Freda Rodgers, first;and Barbara Bays and Frances Martinez, second.

Softball Softball Is a major sport with C.H.S. girls. The season got underway in the middle of April and lasted until June. Badminton Badminton was also featured as a G.A.A. sport.

Girls go to town on badminton page one hundred- el even I Jackie Stewart This sport was enjoyed for about two weeks between hockey and softball, so the girls could recover from their bruises and broken bones before beginning softball.

These were the Life of the Party Dannee Sitzman During the year nineteen forty-nine and fifty almost anything imaginable could have happened in C.H.S. and usually did. For instance someone might have overheard our noisiest boy, Joe Kaminski, noisiest girl, Barbara Cannon, quietiest boy, Elbert Fish, and quietest girl, Jackie Joor in a verbal argument over the discussion of putting television in hot-rods. It didn ' t turn out to be too much of an argument though, because Cannon and Kaminski took over all of the conversation. What fun everyone might have had at the program put on by some of our loyal students. Our best musicians, Elaine Bryant and Andres Aguirre, brought a great amount of applause from Jim Ffusted, half of the cutest couple team (Elaine was the other half), with their playing of Mule Train. The play, John ' s Other Wife ' s Other Husband ' s Brother, starring the best actor John Labrum and the best actress Barbara Cannon, brought sobs from Barbara Downs and Bill Zid- beck, who were voted the best scholars and the persons most likely to succeed. Their eyes got so filled up with tears that they couldn ' t see to take notes on the play to give to the Ko-Hi-Nur for a critical review. John took his role so seriously that he collapsed, so Cannon and Gene Michaels took over and turned it into a comedy. It was an easy task for them because they were voted the best comedian and comedienne. The hopped-up version brought laughs from Jackie Stewart and Bill Robertson, the boy and girl with the best personality and the ones most popular. After the program, photographer ' s flashbulbs were really flashing, for alas, six celebrities were in the audience. Those famous athletes — Robert Broyles and Lois Dillon — gave the reporters an interview on the steps in their athletic training. The girl with the best figure, Gayle Conners, and the boy with the best physique, Harold Nicholson, gave a few of their secrets away on how they keep in shape. The famous smiles of our handsomest boy, Rich Ortega, and the prettiest girl, Lois Howard, brought oh ' s and ah ' s from the onlookers. What a night to re- member! No wonder C.H.S. is so great with all that going on. Even if these events aren ' t remembered (maybe they didn ' t even happen) the students will never be forgotten. Principal’s Bulletin Juvember 32 Due to today ' s change of schedule, there will be a change in schedule. First period will follow sixth period, which comes between Bus 3 and Green River Camp. Bus 4 pupils will ride Bus 7, and Bus 7 pupils will wait until 3:07 and then walk. Bus schedule is as follows: Period 4 will come during Period 6, but all pupils will attend their Period 2 class at this time. Notice: No buses will leave after 12:37 except 3, 4, 2, I, 5, 6, and 7. Buses 8, 9, and 1 0 will leave at I 2:30. Any students seen leaving the cam- pus at this time will be expelled. There will be a change in schedule due to the fact that some of the students understood the last one. Miss Cogswell will instruct the Senior Math class because Mr. Froseth has gone raving mad and will teach Mr. Pape ' s Physics class. Bus 9 will be driven by the bus driver that usually drives Bus 9, and the boys ' gym will be used for adult classes during third, sixth and snack periods. The latter will be held between Bus I I and lunch, which will be shortened to one hour and 20 minutes and will come at 9:27 due to daylight raving time ' s having been over for eight months.

Today a machine does the same job in one half the time. Why then, will a girl spend months knitting a sweater and weeks over a pair of argyles? What is this strange power that two knitting needles and a ball of yarn hold for the girls of today? All over C.H.S., especially around Christmas time, girls could be seen knitting socks. Bobby couldn ' t wait to show his argyle tie and socks that Rollie had knit to everyone at the New Year ' s Eve Dance. Cannon may have spent months on Bill ' s socks, but he was just all the more glad to get them. Beverly Shores really hit the limelight for a while. That argyle sweater she was knitting made a hit with the girls (and the boys). It was too bad the boys had to see it; several of them have been trying to get their girl friends to knit one ever since. They just don ' t realize, do they girls? Yes, memories are great, and the memories of the days of knitting in classes, on the front lawn, the comparison of new argyles by the boys, and the clicking of the knitting needles will live on through the years, and as the girls grow older, they will have a con- solation in that they used to sit homo and knit all the time when they were in high school too.

The lovely vegetable corsages, supplied by the qirls, filled the room with their frag- rance. It seemed that Jerry Lou had a hard time keeping both the piano and Mo occupied.

To everyone ' s surprise a solo was sung by Ken Strong. As Donald Duck, Tony took the cake. During intermission, everywhere you looked small groups had gathered together to sing. June, Margaret, Bill and Tom were singing chants on top of bundles of hay. Then, as the dance came to an end, all the kids met at Lindy ' s, the regular hangout for hamburgers and cokes.

In the large crowd were a great number of the alumni of the Class of 1950 who had come back to their old alma mater in 1975 to witness Senior Class Night in which so many of their children were taking part. Conspicuous among the people was Joe Kaminski with his billionaire wife. Their quad- ruplets — Joe, Schmo, Mo, and Flo — received an award for being the only students that had outsmarted the teachers. It was widely sug- gested that they take after their aging father. Also among the society group were Jackie Stewart and her Swedish husband, Count Ole Jorgason. Their children, Sveya and Svena gave a cute skit entitled, Mother Graduated But Father Burned His Way Out. It was apparent that they have inherited a flair for the stage from their actress mother, who met the count while doing a command performance in Sweden. Harold Nicholson and his wife Susie would have been proud of their twins, Alice and Butch, if they could have been there. Alice received the art award and Butch got the Safe Driver award. The Nicholsons ' cat was to have kittens that night, though, and Harold and Susie felt that she shouldn ' t be left alone. There were many alumni there — too many to name.
