Corona High School - Coronal Yearbook (Corona, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 162 of the 1951 volume:

The quest for the worthwhile things wai uppermost in the minds of CHS students in 1950-51. Shall I write my Ameri- can Problems theme or go to the movies? What will give the greatest pleasure and satisfaction? All felt the world to be on the edge of catastrophe. Time was short and every minute should be packed with as much as could be made to fit. The Coronal staff — dashing through the halls with pic- tures, copy, glue, and paper cutters, and sitting up to meet deadlines at three minutes of midnight — wondered at times if it were worth it. But if by these pictures and words we have recaptured the spirit of the year 1950-51 so that it may live again each time you look through this book, and if high school friends can be revisited at will, ther all our time has been spent in a most worthwhile pursi . yo U ARE NOW I N CORONAL F CuHy and Adminislra-lion - 5 Classes -a 11 Academics 55 Organization -a 73 Activities -A 73 Sports - 83 Feature s and Advert si no ■ -� 113 - ' v VU J V “Let’s Iry that again’ . . . was a familiar sentence in the band room as Charles Heckel directed. That this annual is dedicated to a man who really knows his signals has been proved time and again a t successful CHS band competitions throughout Southern California. The Coronal salutes Bandmaster Heckel because he is more than a bandmaster. He has been a generat- or of student confidence. He has been a friend to many. He has known that students are people. He has helped make the road smooth. ON SIGNALS Coronal Editorial Just as billboards along the highway may obscure the view, so also do the customs and mores of society in many cases obscure the real truth. It is, of course, well to be aware of these signs as they have been placed by people who have already traveled the way. But just as a con- fusing or wrongly placed traffic sign will cause a serious accident — other signs placed by erring society and followed year after year by others even more ignorant will lead to civilization ' s ruin. Those who follow without a murmur these ancient traditions are more contemptible than the originator of the custom. At least give him credit for having believed in SOME- THING. With history duly recording the fallacies of certain of society ' s signposts we ought to be able to read them with skepticism. Some of these signs which we have followed to the edge of destruction are The dollar is almighty Everyone has his price. This theory has led us to the depths of cynicism and to a low point in the estimation of other nations. Another sign widely read is: We of the white race are of course the most intelligent — the finest. Besides being rather stupid and having no foundation in fact, this superstition adds fuel to the fires of those who would say we do not believe in equality. It alienates the majority of the world ' s population — who are not members of the white race. Our distrust of others and their intentions began when society began. First people said, Watch out for him; he ' ll stick a knife in you when your back is turned. Then the idea expanded to include groups of people. In the present time it includes mass distrust of whole nations. This con- dition raises problems but doesn ' t solve any. One generation after another has unquestioningly accepted as true these hackneyed half-cocked assumptions that they ' ve seen written on signposts. And where has it led us? We stand on the edge of disaster and we must think. We must bring a different, workable answer to the problems of world wide distrust, aggression, and hate that hang like a shadow on the horizon of 1 95 I ' s graduates at CHS and everywhere. Not that we have the brain power or the chance to invent cures for all the world ' s ills — but most can d ecide which of two viewpoints is the right one. We can at least try and in trying move toward the truth. Is anything more pallid and uninteresting than a person who hasn ' t the gumption to form his own opinion? Right or wrong, be positive — not passive. Let’s choose our own road — risking our own intelligence as to which signs tell the truth. The road will be freer and more interesting. It ' s not as likely to lead to ruin as is the rutted and sign-smeared road that gullible unthinking masses of people throughout the world are plodding to- day. — M. J. S. Faculty and administration — complying with Coronal ' s request that they do something about signals — obligingly crossed them. But it was for just this once. The signals were straight and clear at other times. In the pictures above, the signal-crossing had spread to the offices of District Superintendent George M. Kibby (obediently taking dictation from his secretary, Mrs. Eleanor Alien! and Assistant Superintendent and Business Agent S. E. Waldrip (displaying correction fluid just as if business agents made mistakes). And C. Finis Frazier, CHS ' industrious principal, turned up this time in the metal shop teaching the finer points of welding to — well, anyway, a free 1992 Coronal to the first reader who identifies the crea- ture beside him. ■page Jive Garrah Leah Giersch and Mary Thomas, finally having exhausted all logic by listening to absence excuses, reverted quickly and easily back to childhood. These school board members and administrators were on the job many a Monday night calling the signals. They are, left to right standing, George M. Kibby, John Colladay, John Madruga, Secretary Eleanor Allen; and, seated, Henry Hoeger, James Rhodes, S. E. Waldrip, and Ray Williams. Helen M. Stone, tho creative dean of girls, collaborates with vocal music instructor J. Loren Farmer on a bit of art interpreting Oriental life. Note the integrity of the paint- ing — it might almost have been wrought by a single artist. page six Hubert Bynum and Marion Griswold, tired of noisy typewriters and excitable alarm-stop-clocks, found serenity in this quiet peaceful band room across the street. Ag Man Stanley Pitts and Metal Shop Instructor Leo Pauby did their geometry together. Louise Peterson, on a homemaking holiday, hit English Instructor Vernon for a heavy fine for freez- ing onto this racy novel from the CHS library shelves too long. fage seven Lois Tail, Wayne Taylor, and W. D. Addison migrated from girls ' physical ed, drivers ' education, and history, respectively, to have this happy time in the kitchen. H. I. Looney (boys ' physical ed) and Arnold Ayllon (history) tried out that poison antidote they heard about in first aid on Physiology Phyllis. She didn ' t complain. David Anthony Moody (drama, history) and Charles Heckel (instrumental music enjoy the towel room with varying degrees of en- thusiasm. page eight Slave driver -from the journalism department Ed Ritter and Vivian Grindstaff (world history and P.E.) demonstrated first aid techniques for the Coronal. This was found especially helpful in treating footsore Coronal staffers. H. I. Froseth, heretofore known as Buliseye came down from the heights of the pure science to prove that he had prowess at the dart science. Lucy Arnold, homemaking department, showed how homemaking works its way out in real life away from academic ivory towers. page nine Drowsing off during a slack hour in the CHS pig pen, Coach Russ Norm Chesley sprang to arms with the cry, There ain ' t no flies on me. ' Seen here without his golden voice, Ted Pape (science de- partment) seems unfamiliar. Orville Brooks and Wallace Coon fled from their woodshop and biology rooms to spread cheer on these CHS quarterly greeting cards. Marie Escalante, Hazel Hyatt, and Mary Healy took time out from Spanish, English, and Art, respectively, and here they are. t. iff ten DIVIDED HIGHWAY AHEAD THREE LANES Senior Officers Ronnie Statum, President; Jerry Lockwood, Vice President; Jo-Anne Housely, Secretary; Darleen Layton, Senior Representative; Jim Worthing, Senior Representative; Paul Regan, Yell Leader.

Approach with caution — men at work. It was not long before the class was a going construction gang headed by Jack Cahall. The class found parking between the hours of 8 a.rw. and 3 p.m. The dips ahead for the first of the three years were decorating for Baccalaureate, serving at banquets, and participating in assemblies. By the end of the year the class had learned how to spell Sophomore for the yells in assembly. The junior year brought head collisions into many activities. The big dip came in the Junior Class Play, a three-act comedy entitled The Perfect Idiot. It was a big hit and many scenes from the original were used in assemblies following. Many a soft shoulder was found at Lemonville after the hard work of class members. The Arabian Nights theme was touched off by an Arabian village of concessions on the dance floor. The big traffic island for the class was the decorating and planning of the Junior-Senior Prom. The finances for the event were down a dead-end road. They came by way of concessions at football games. Juniors and Seniors feasted and danced In the Land of Make Believe. Don Gruner led the class; and when he turned off the road, Ronnie took the wheel for the remainder of the year. Then came the time to be Big Wheels at last. The class heard the traditional, Seniors leave first from Student Body President Bob Clem- ents. There was no stopping for pedestrians when Seniors left first. Class President Ronald Statum brought the class to the divided high- ways with activities through the year. The Senior assembly was such fun! There was Senior Ditch Day — red noses and all — Class Day and Class Night brought varied emotions.

GRADUATION SUMMIT THIS UAr± Homemaking Don ' t Myron and Larry look like happy brides, hovering over a first domestic triumph? A surprising number of boys found themselves knee-deep in pots and pans this year . . . Paul Regan ' s biscuits were enough to make Betty Crocker green with envy. As a matter of fact, everyone who ate one turned green, but not from envy. Art Brush and palette addicts were really kept busy this year. Some of the more experienced art students delved into the art of clay modeling. Besides their many classroom projects, they played their part in the success of various school activities, with colorful posters, stage settings, and appropriate holiday decorations. fage thirty-five Have you ever tried to find something in the Journalism closet? If you have, you know what Carm is going through. The Journalism Room is noted for its confusion; it was even nam- ed The Snake Pit by some of its inmates. Nevertheless, an un- believable amount of work is turn- ed out by these classes. What with a weekly newspaper, a radio program, the Crown, the Coron- al, and countless miscellaneous news stories listed among their many projects, you can see that they have little time to waste. Psychology Journalism Do you feel frustrated? Do you wonder what makes people tick? If so — Drop in on Mr. Pape ' s friendly little second peri- od psychology class and find out. Here are a couple of mind probers trying to find out what makes Paul tick. When they find out, they ' re going to publish the facts in a little book- let called, Eee Gad!!!!! ' Watch for it on local newstands. English Even English classes have their lighter moments; this is a dressmaking contest staged at a party in Mr. Rit- ter’s Sophomore English class. These gowns are the original creations or Mmes. O ' Quinn, Guisinger, and Munn, made from the finest news- paper available. Of course there are always those verbs and adjectives to get back to, but after a little fun, they always seem easier. Radio programs and oral talks, both impromtu and planned, will help to give C.H.S. ' ers poise and con- fidence when speaking before a group.

John David leads some American Problems students in a discussion on world affairs in Mr. Keers ' room. The intent look on Gary Webster ' s face will give you an idea of how interesting it is. Through World and U. S. History, Foreign Languages, and American Problems, Corona High students take a careful look at the world. fage thirty-seven Band — A place for everything and everything in its place — The band put its new rehearsal room to good and constant use. Many school, community, and inter-school activities provided long-to-be-remembered experiences in group cooperation. The band really put Corona ' s name on the map in out-of-town appearances. Glee Club The C.H.S. Crimson and Gold Choir added deep meaning to solemn assemblies and real musical en- joyment to countless other C.H.S. and community events. It made its television debut over one of the lead- ing channels during Christmas vacation. Such soloists as Frank Van Hee made names for themselves this year in C.H.S. productions. ■page thirty-eight If looks easy, buf you can ' t hear all the groans as sore muscles, just recov- ered from the day before, are stretch- ed all over again.

Those trips into the inner sanctum (the lab) always baffled us non-scientific minded people, but geniuses like Bob Holmes forged ahead. Bob, through detailed ex- periments, was able to announce on the last day of lab that water has a high moisture content. Math The Math Department turned out this bunch of future free-way engineers. They ' re going to find out how high the flag pole is with a little help from Mr. Froseth.

They were really kept busy with their many projects such as the Drama Club as- semblies. the Lemon- ville plays, and their many classroom activi- ties. Commercial Fingers really raced over the keys and pencils flew down the page as the all-im- portant minutes of those speed tests flew by. Those races with the clock were hard on nerves, but they went toward more speed and proficiency for commercial students under the direction of Mrs. Griswold and Mr. Bynum. The first period typing class worried about Biliy Knight all year for fear his nerves would get the better of him on those speed tests. They were considering reserving a place for him in Ye Olde Rest Home for High-Strung Typists, but he pulled through okay.

LOTS OF PEP? ? ? ? Mrs. Hazel Hyatt sponsored this or- ganization and the different classes and clubs aided in producing the assemblies and posters. This campus club brought a lot of students out to see the games, and when the games were out of town, buses were secured for the ones who had no trans- portation. Spirit, pep and vitality were added to our school this year and the Rooters Club can take a well-earned bow. Pulverize Puente, Squash Orange, and Swat the Yellowjackets were some of the morale boosting signs put up by the peppy members of the CHS Rooters Club. The rooters were the backbone of the football team, not in the sense that they made the touchdowns, but they furnished the spirit that kept the team going. This jubilant group of teen-agers put on the many entertaining pep assemblies that rallied the students to support their team. fage forty-three Scholarship NO DETOURS HERE!!

Too many to name TRI Travelling down the road of the past year ' s school life, Hi Tri members were helped by having signs pointing to activities which gave them well-rounded experiences. As shown in the Recognition Service held in November; growth in spirit, mind and body were the objectives of Hi Tri. Signs pointing to a happy and healthy spirit had such activities as the welfare projects at Christmas time and Thanksgiving, the dinner for the basketball boys, Party for Pop, Mothers ' Night and the Senior Farewell printed on them. Growth in mind wasn ' t neglected with the Hi Tri - Hi Y Confer- ence with speakers giving information along this line. The skating party and a day at the beach helped Hi-Tri girls to enjoy keeping physically fit. Although Hi Triers will always remember the big events of the year like the Valentine ' s Formal, all the events of the year added to the enjoyment of this years ' activities.

This year the Hi Y had a induction ceremony in which twenty-eight new members were inducted into the club. There also was an initiation in which members had to wear aprons and bonnets and parade around the school. A dance was sponsored by the Hi Y following the Bonita Football game and was very successful. Also the Hi Y held a father and son banquet along with many other events. The club was presided over by Gerald Gaddie with John LoPorto as vice president. Duane Olinger kept the minutes while Louis Dalcamo tended the treasury. page fifty A more serious Hi-Y moment.

Future Homemakers Improving the ability of future homemakers has been achieved through many FHA activities. Under the able sponsorship of Mrs. Lucy Arnold and Mrs. Louise Peterson, some fifty members had fun while hard at work. Regular responsibilities such as a Lost and Found Department and the weekly welfare project were included. The work at Christmas obtained money and other practical gifts for needy families. A white-elephant sale, conducted early in the year, raised more funds, while keeping a large part of the student body laughing (and out of class). Other activities, such as a raffle of a home permanent kit and joint meetings with the Future Farmers Club members were enjoyed. Under the leadership of Jo Anne Housley, as president, with Pat Cruse, vice president; Shirley Schmidt, treasurer; and Nell Wheeler, secretary, assisting her. the year was profitable as members grew rich in practical experience. fage fifty-two They gave the 6(, go” signal No white elephants here Santa Clauses????

Among these projects were displays for the Indio Fair as well as entries in the livestock shows. Many honors were brought back by the Corona boys.

Since that time four issues have written up Corona people and activities. A number of articles featuring high school events have also appeared in the magazine. Not satisfied with reporting news, the jour- nalists made some of their own. The second issue of Crown featured Crown Prince and Princess Ronnie Statum and Marilyn Popp. They were crowned at the coronation ball after being elected by the vote of the student body. Crown also sponsored two contests — the posture contest, which was won by Eva Cheaney, Eleanor Rodriquez, and Sarah Mor- row; and the marble guessing contest which crowned Arnold Ayllon Mr. Marble Head.

The business staff was often worried that they might run into a dead end with the finances of the year book. Under the able leadership of Business Manager Margaret Stanley, there was clear vision ahead during the year. Pat Olson assisted Margaret in collecting the various ads and straightening out the ledger. David Madruga and Paul Mahoney helped in their various ways while Mary Joan cracked the whip over all the poor souls. ■•A’ ' - sixty-] ive CRIMSON AND GOLD CHOIR CHS ' travels down the highroads and sideroads of 1950 and ' 51 would have been less cheery without a song. The Crimson and Gold Choir was always there with a song to inspire, to gladden, or to deepen appreciation of beauty. Such promontories on the main road this year as Thanksgiving, Armistice Day, Christmas, and Easter were beautiful, refreshing pauses because of the choir ' s contributions to assembly programs. The choir also carried CHS ' banner of quality proudly in its performances before numerous Corona civic and church organizations. The director was J. Lorin Farmer, and the accompanists were Doris Tunstead and LaVonne LaRoche.

Girls League Service and friendly coordination are the major functions of the Girls League Organization. On enrolling in C.H.S. every girl automatically becomes a member. Throughout the year they sponsored many activities. During the gay strenuous football season they sponsored a very successful dance after a football game, with music by the Teen Toe Tappers. Beverly LaBine was in charge of the food booth. When times seemed a bit dull during basketball season the Girls League came through with a novelty Sock Dance. At a minimum of expense, (the price being set by 1$ an inch for waist mea- surement) a maximum amount of fun resulted. Climaxing the year ' s event s was the Annual Hi Jinx. A queen and six princesses were chosen from the Senior girls by popular vote. The theme was Twilight Time and the general chairman was Beverly Shores. Few realize the thought and work that goes on behind the scenes.

A congested area on Mondays and Wednesdays was the girls gym. all the members participating in their favorite sports. The tennis and archery fans worked out on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The GAA members worked full speed ahead in the many projects which they completed during the year. Decorating the goal posts helped keep the spirit up for the football games. Cake sales at noon and concessions at the school games provided the necessary funds for the athletic equipment. A canasta party was held at the school for all the GAA board members of the other Tri County schools; this is one of the ways Corona GAA has helped in promoting a more friendly spirit among the schools in our league. At many of the playdays held during the year for each of the sports, Corona walked off with top honors due to the coaching of Mrs. Tait. The officers for 1950 and 1951 were Eva Cheaney, president, Dede Layton, vice president; Socorro Garcia, secretary; and Christine Roberts, treasurer. fage seventy SPORTS-MINDED WOMEN Row I: Joyce Self, Phyllis Bailey, Eva Cheaney, Christine Roberts, Roberta Roy, Evelyn Parks, Pearlie Madron; Row 2: Alice Sparr, Betty Nickle, Lila Monroe, Arlene Shadle, Mary Blair, Shirley Washington; Row 3: Gloria Mendoza, Gloria Mejia, Rosalie Guirbino, Joan Hauet, Lottie Forsythe, Joyce Lillibridge, Janet McCorkell, Earline Bradbury.

Mr. Froseth, who furnished the guiding hand during the momentous meetings on every other Tuesday, lent his worthy views to the sessions that helped the cabinet to see their way clear to decide the sometimes very hard decisions that were made. Plotting the course for the 1950-51 year was the CHS Student Council and their advisor, Mr. H. I. Froseth. The questions and problems that arose this year were many and trying, but fhis student-run Council seemed able to find the right solutions. One of the big problems of the Council this year was the revision of the constitution. Bob Clements, the prexy of the Student Body, led the Council with Sonny Ragsdale as his right hand man, Pat Sparkman was there to take the notes and minutes that are now the past history of CHS. Having a hectic time was Sue Sparr who kept the Student Body of CHS from bankruptcy by her wise handling of our money. Joe Vallenari rang the bells that took us away from our studies for a few glorious moments. That completes the list of the main officers of the Student Council, but there were others that helped to smooth the way for progress — the student representatives. The Student Council can be compared to the post holding up the Stop and Go lights for the entire school and (like this post) could not be done without! fage seventy-two 5L0W CONSTRUCTION HEAD SIS page seventy-three r ■ h L Jfj jMn HpH� ' J- r ' : 1 v ■ -V i .

SPORTS REVIEW Sparked by the vicious running of Ronnie Statum in the backfield, and the courageous play of linemen Jim Hatcher. Manuel Mendoza and Jerry Byers — the Corona Panthers waded through a nine game schedule, winning three and losing six. The Panthers opened their 1950 gridiron season in a blaze of glory as they completely scuttled the Mar Vista Mariners on the home gridiron. When the final looting was accounted for. and the tallies made, the boys from down San Diego way had been sunk by a score of 26 to 0. The Beaumont Cougars were the next prey to fall before the high flying Panthers. Each member of the squad played an important role in this 21 to 6 victory. A smarting stinger greeted the Panthers the following week when they journeyed to the Orange Show Stadium where they suffered their first defeat of the season. The Panthers were completely humiliated 48 to 0 by the Colton Yellowjackets in a very one-sided affair. The Panthers’ second and third string furnished the opposition for the Bonita Bearcats in the annual Tri-County League Football Carnival which was held on Friday night. Corona was a member of the losing Southern aggrega- tion. The Yankees beat the Rebels to the tune of 20 to 6. Th e southern squad was composed of Corona, Chino, and Puente. Bonita, Citrus, and Claremonl represented the north. The following night, Saturday, a group of hungry ball players from Orange invaded Pantherville and when they departed they had chalked up a 44 to 19 victory.

Manuel Mendoza and Jim Hatcher, Corona linemen, scored the only touchdowns for Corona in the Chino game as the Circle City boys were once again subdued. This time the losing margin was a mere seven points, the final tally being 21 to 13. Both Hatcher and Mendoza scooped up fumbles and ran for Panther touchdowns. The Claremont Wolfpack encircled the Panthers and pulled them down in defeat by a score of 7 to 0. This was one of the Panthers ' best defensive games but they couldn ' t seem to generate a scoring drive. In a penalty riddled game the Citrus Cougars handed the Panthers their fifth consecutive defeat of the season. Clements, Hatcher, Pritchett, Regan, and Holmes played exceptionally fine ball against the Cougars, but just couldn ' t match their opponents ' points. The Bonita Bearcats, league title winners, were met by a vengeance seeking group of Panthers who — although playing one of their greatest games of the season — were dropped into oblivion as the Bearcats scooped up a 32 to 15 victory and romped home. In the closing game of the season Lockwood, Clements, Hoover, Statum, Byers, and Washington played a great game as the Panthers closed their 1950 gridiron season on the glory trail with a 19 to 13 victory over the Puente Warriors. Ronnie Statum was chosen as Varsity Player of the Year by the member of the 1950 Panther squad. Claude Ragsdale, tackle who suffered a broken shoulder in practice afte: the Mar Vista game, was elected honorary captain for the year.

Jerry Byers was badly shocked in the first half of the Colton game and was unable to play in the remainder of the contest. Jerry Lockwood pulled the ligaments in his knee in the Colton game and missed two games afterwards. Ronnie Statum scooted for two touchdowns on kickoffs in the Orange game to electrify football spectators. Panthers won their last game of the season from the Puente Warriors to break a six-game losing streak. Backfield aces Statum, Hoover, and Regan get their heads together in huddle to plan new ways of dazzling opponents. Guard Jerry Lockwood helped to spark Panthers in past season.

The team had lost many of its experienced men to the Varsity, leaving Coach Looney the task of building a team composed mostly of sophomores. After many hours of hard, rough, and bone breaking prac- tices the Kittens met the Beaumont Cougars in their first practice game of the season. Running from a wing-T forma- tion, Corona — led by Larry Rhyner, Ronny Iselin, and Bill McCarty — ran over the Cougars 32 to 0. Playing a rough and tough football game with Colton the Kittens came out on top of their bitter rivals 13 to 6, George Abacherli and Dennis Roos playing heads up football were credited with touchdowns. Playing an undefeated Orange team the Corona light- weights, led by Larry Rhyner, came from behind in the final four minutes of the game to tie Orange 13 to 13. With good blocking from Lawrence Price and Gerald Deleo and Joe Uribe, Ronny Iselin scored early in the second half. Alas, the Kittens were in for a stroke of bad luck. This they found out when they met a strong bunch of football players at Chino. The Chino Cowboys dumped the Panther Kittens 24 to 7. Dennis Roos made Corona’s lone tally with a pass from Larry Rhyner. Getting back in the winning column again the Kittens played the newly formed Claremont B” team. Spearheaded by the brilliant running of George Abacherli, who scored five touchdowns himself, the Kittens all but broke Clare- mont ' s back. The final score was 49 to 0. Stopped for the second time in league play, Coach Looney ' s Kittens went down in defeat at the hands of a strong Citrus team 26 to 0. Although going down in defeat, Bill McCarty and Gerald Deleo never gave up in the forward wall. SEASON’S SCOREBOARD 32 Beaumont 0 13 Colton 6 13 Orange 13 7 Chino 24 49 Claremont 0 0 Citrus 26 13 Bonita 7 13 Puente 18 Won four - — lost three — tied one Hitting hard and fast the Kittens dumped the Bonita Bearcats 13 to 7. Last year Bonita knocked Corona out of the championship and this year — spearheaded by Bill Mc- Carty, Larry Price, and Joe Uribe in the line and the Abacherli brothers and Ronny Iselin in the backfield — the Kittens handed the Bonita team a defeat. November 17 proved to be another bad night for the Kittens when the Puente Warriors handed the Kittens a defeat in the closing seconds of the game. It was a hard game but when the final gun sounded the score stood at 18 to 13 in favor of Puente. Coach Looney ' s Kittens scored 140 points to their oppon- ents ' 94 points in their eight-game schedule. At the annual football banquet the most valuable player award went to Bill McCarty, who also was elected line captain. Larry Rhyner was selected backfield captain.

Varsity Basketball Panther Cagers Close With Rush This year ' s varsity basketball squad chalked up a mediocre 9-11 won and lost record during the 1950-51 season. The Panthers started the season oft with three successive defeats. Grossmont walloped the Corona quintet 52-33 in the season ' s curtain raiser. A potent Corona alumni team squeezed by the Panthers by a score of 44 to 38 in the second game of the season. Hemet handed the Panther five their third setback in the form of a 32-31 affair which was decided in the final minutes of play. Corona finally broke into the winning column against the Ramona High School. The Panthers beat the visitors to the tune of 42-34. Pomona ran wild over the helpless Corona cagers in their next outing and when the final buzzer sounded the Red Devils held a 62-38 bulge. Following in the footsteps of Pomona, the Riverside Poly Bears mangled the fighting Panthers 73-43 the following week. Coach H. L. Looney ' s charges, finally beginning to click, corraled the Banning Bronchos and broke them by a score of 44-42. Guard Tom McCauley hit the hoop for 21 points as the Panthers copped their league opener 42-25 from the Chino Cowboys in the local gym. Keeping right on their winning way the Corona court artists eked out a 45-41 win over a Chaffey J.V. quintet. The Claremont Wolfpack cut the Panthers down 67-44 in the second league game of the season. The Palm Springs Indians were scalped 42-40 by the win hungry Panthers in their next outing. Citrus, Bonita, Puente, and Chino all garnered successive victories over the Corona five by respective scores of 55-42, 58-48, 54-34, and 48-34. Bouncing back after four dismal performances the Panthers shackled the Claremont quintet and when the nip and tuck contest ended Corona was on the long end of a 36-34 score. Sweet revenge came to the Panthers in the form of a 57-52 victory over the Citrus Cougars in the CHS gym. Bonita scored their second victory over the boys from Pantherville as they edged by them 48-43. Corona, in a repeat performance, lassoed the Banning Bronchos 50-42 the following week. The Panthers closed in a blaze of glory as they knocked the Puente Warriors 52-48 in the last league game of the year. Tom McCauley, with 259 points, led the Corona scorers. Tom was a unanimous choice for All-Tri-County League laurels. Tom was selected by his team mates as the Most Valuable Player on the Panther squad. Norm Tompkins and Jim Hatcher were chosen co-captains for Panthers due to their fine play throughout the year. Hatcher, McCauley, Smith, and Salgado show some of the form that made them a formidable entry in Tri-County League play.

Ragsdale, Munoz, Weathering under several setbacks,, the B basketball aggregation under the very capable supervision of Coach H. L. Looney managed to capture a third place berth in the 1950-51 T.C.L. season. The Kittens broke even with a record of nine wins and nine losses. This was due to the lack of returning lettermen and many new inexperienced boys. In the Kittens ' six pre-season games they suffered greatly by losing all but one game. In the first game of the year they were overwhelmed by a powerful Grossmont team 22-48. Kittens await rebound in game against St. Edward ' s which they won handily. The Kittens entered the Bonita Basketball Tournament but were dropped from the tournament after two defeats in succession. They lost to a very experienced Burbank team 39 to 71 and dropped their second game to Bell Gardens 33 to 40. Corona suffered two more losses to Riverside County League teams when they dropped a game to Banning 44 to 49 and Hemet 20 to 26. The Kittens ' lone win was over a v eak Ramona team 54 to 16 in their final pre-season game. To start the league off, the Kittens lost to a powerful Chino Cowboy quintet 24 to 33. Anxious to get in the winning column again the Kit- tens developed a powerful fast breaking play that led them to several successive victories, the first being a league game over Claremont 34 to 23. Looking like a championship team at last, the Kittens knock- ed off the Citrus Cougars 47 to 39. The win-hungry Panthers dumped Bonita 42 to 23. Using their fast break ex- pertly, the Kittens ended the first round with a win over Puente 36 to 29. At the end of the first round the Panthers had a record of four wins and a lone loss. A little over-determined to get even with the Chino Cow- boys, the Kittens suffered their second defeat of the season. The Kittens lost 27 to 38. Clawing and fighting to keep in the running for the championship, the Panthers scored a victory of 45 to 30 over Claremont. The Kittens also came out on the long end of a 39 to 31 victory over Citrus. (Continued on Page 97) VARSITY THINCLADS THE TRACK TEAM — Kneeling: Abacherli, Fredericks, Abacherli, Coach Looney.

(Continued From Page 96) Playing one of their off-games, the Kittens wenl down to defeat at the hands of the Bonita Bearcats 37 to 39. In the final game of the year the Kittens fought hard but were knocked off by a mediocre Puente Warrior five 28 to 31. The Kitten quintet posted a record of six wins and five losses for league play to place them in third place. In two other practice games during the season, the Kittens won over the St. Edward s CYO team 44 to 28 and over Banning in a nip and tuck 36 to 31 affair. Paul Regan, Kitten forward, was elected most valuable player. Regan also led the Panthers i n scoring. Tony Munoz, Kitten guard, was elected captain. Regan and Munoz were awarded berths on the All-Tri-County first team.

Looney when he tried to produce a win- ning track team out of the few varsity boys who tried out this year. The Panther thinclads ' early season record showed losses to Bonita, Chino, and Claremont and a victory over the Puente Warriors. This year’s track squad featur- ed several top notch performers who were consistent point scorers, but hardly ever could the Corona spikesters place more than one man in an event and because of this they had trouble chalking up many points. In the dash es the Panthers could rely on the winning efforts of Joe Vallenari, Frank Young and the Abacherli brothers. John Lo Porto and Frank Young gave the Corona crew a potent one-two punch in the 440 yard dash as they were among the best quarter milers in the league. Cruising over the hurdles for this year ' s oval turners were Bob Holmes and Wayne Channel who copped many valuable points for the Corona squad. Point scorers in the field events for the Panthers were shot putter Don Wyrick, pole vaulter and broad jumper Rich Hoover and high jumper Wayne Channel. ■page ninety-eight ibove — Richard Hoover soars over the bar handily in the pole vault elow — Wayne Channel clears the high jump bar with room to spare 1 McNUTT looks unconcerned as he rounds the track on one of his many mile runs.

Bonita, and Chino under their belts the Corona Panther Kitten track team had but to win one more league meet to cop a co- championship when Coronal went to press. The Puente lightweights so far were the only team to put a dent in the fi ne polish of the Kitten record. They defeated Corona in a very close meet which could have gone in either direction. Many members of this year ' s B team have been running varsity but will be brought back to B during the remainder of the season in an effort to chalk another league win. The Kitten spikesters boast several standout point scorers and also are very well balanced as two or three boys usually finish in the points.

Panther Horseliiders This year ' s varsity baseball team started the current hardball season v ith a handicap of two weeks ' practice. The Panthers missed a week ' s practice due to bad weather and then came the flu epidemic which dismissed school for an entire week. With only a few days of practice under their belts the Corona horsehiders met a potent Orange nine on the local diamond. After seven innings of play Orange held a slim 4 to 2 lead. Joe Uribe blasted out a round tripper in the fourth frame with one on to account for both Panther tallies. The big Panther bats began to boom against St. Joseph ' s the following week as the Corona lads smashed out a very one sided 19-1 victory over the Pomona nine. Ragsdale and McCauley collected round trippers in this fray. A return engagement with Orange furnished the Panthers with their next outing. Orange once again upset the Circle City nine, this time by a score of 7-3. Opening league play against Puente the following week, the Panthers got off to a flying start as they belted the Warriors 7 to 2. Once again the Corona stickers began to pound the bail as the Panthers downed a helpless St. Joseph ' s nine for the second time. This time when the damage was totaled the score stood at 15-3. During Easter vacation the Panthers journeyed to Puente where they took part in the annual Puente baseball tournament. The Coachella Arabs swatted the Corona club 3 to 2 in their first tourney outing. McCauley collected his second homer of the year in the Puente affair. Due to the working of many of the team members the Panthers decided to drop out of tournament play. After returning to school after the Easter rest the Panthers lost a real heart breaker to the Newport Harbor Tars. The Tars squeezed in a single run to eke out a 1-0 win.

Joe Uribe knocked a home run with two men on the basepaths to get Corona off to a rolling start. In their final game before the Coronal went to press, the Panthers bounced back from defeat to cop an easy 11-3 victory from the Claremont Wolfpack. Joe Uribe collected his second home run in two days as the Panthers won their second league game of the year.

Down with the common cold! Everyone shares a com- mon cold and, if everyone shares it — then it is Communism! If our Congress can pass laws taking care of subversives and other such undesirable things, then this reporter thinks that it should outlaw the common cold! Of course we must have a great public backing since the cough-syrup, Kleenex and Vicks people all have powerful lobbies trying to prevent such a law. Here in Corona and particularly at the high school, the colds seem to have the same slogan as the movie promoters: Bigger and better than ever! The students are all going around with red noses, runny eyes and pockets bulging with assorted tissues, nose drop- pers and Smith Brothers coughdrops. These colds are nothing to trifle with but one am using incident has come about due to one of these pesky colds: Girl — Have you got an extra tissue? Boy — What did you say? Girl — Tissue!

Bob Clements and Dot are here proudly displaying pictures of their 12 children to Dean Pat Olson of M.l.T. and Professor John David of Vassar. And over in the far corner is Harry Chapman, head of the Corona Vegetarian Party, discussing politics with Char- lene Parker, girl census taker. (This way Charlene only works once every ten years.) Butch Sears, the composer of the latest song hit, Good- morning Florinda, is chatting with publishers Nelson and Worthing about Jerry Lou and Rollie Rae ' s book, Twenty Years Guarding the Coast. And speaking of the service, Dee Chandler, navy wife, is talking to Janet de Blois, navy nurse, about Pat Sparkman ' s all boy band. (Pat has taken Ina Ray Hutton ' s place.) Ronny Statum, one of Norco ' s newest tin mine tycoons — and Marilyn — are discussing the fate of T.V. with Shake- spearian actors Tony Munoz and Dede Layton. T.V. has been on the decline since Padgett, Lockwood, Ragsdale, and Pritchett picketed it when Faye Emerson left. Not much time left so here is a brief rundown of others here: Susie Sparr Nicholson, model mother of the year; M.J., editor of the New Yorker; and Strong and Truesdale, the hottest team in Dixieland today.

How the girls love (?) it when their gym class comes along. Those who are so fortunate as to have it in the morn- ing get to go out in the fresh air and play their hearts out, but of course without the curl in their hair! The lovely early dew has seen that it is all out but the girls don ' t mind since they love to spend an hour on putting up their hair. The fact that their hands are frozen isn ' t too important either. This is only in the winter, however; but then summer! Ha, revenge! Nov the afternoon classes can sweat and strugolo. No one minds that their clothes get all sweaty, but when there aren ' t any towels for a shower, then you blow a fuse. Again the fact that you ' re about to have sun-stroke and have broken your pet finger nail isn ' t too important! Then all year you have to contend with the horrible job of opening your locker, braving the sickening smell that issues forth and managing to get to roll call on time. If you are- lucky and make it, (goody, two points!) you can cheerfully participate in a few exercises and play! Yak, yak, no com- ment! Then you have nothing to worry about — until the next day!

CROPPER Sixth and Joy Street Phone 4 “Oh Goody, An Assembly!” By Maggie Gads what a corney seat — and look at the couple or drips I ' ve got to sit by for a whole year and right near the heater over in this crowded and stuffy corner! And in the back row, too! Hey, I’m a mighty sophomore! . Such were the thoughts of many a C.H.S. ' er as names were called out and they were assigned seats in the traditional class sections. Some scattered and fortunate souls were pleased with their seats and didn ' t complain; others beefed a little, but the rest of the C.H.S. assembly-goers protested openly to themselves and their friends thus giving themselves a super topic to munch over at noon and a great deal of enjoyment in having something to complain about. Of course the sophs will always remember with remorse that first day when they all had to stand up and give their class yell. After much standing upping and sitting downing by various embarrassed classmates, the section came out with a weak little yell which was greatly enjoyed by the powerful Juniors and Seniors! Who can forget the wonderful talking Mynah birds that said Hi babe to Betty, or the super class assemblies or the big Coronal Assembly, (Plug-plug with Jerome as the Space Patrol announcer, Harry Chapman as the adlibbing M.C. and Foxie as the society girl who preferred her Coronal to her Cadillacs! Pep, class, national, school, holiday and exchange assemblies — all were enjoyed and remembered by Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores alike regardless of neighbors, heaters, corners, or seats in the back row. And so it was, as the assemblies came and went, each performance storing up a treasure of wonderful memories crowned with the immortal words of our illustrious student body prexy — Assembly is adjourned, SENIORS LEAVE FIRST.

Main Street Phone 586 Put in a box, tie it with red tape and throw it in the office! By Schoolworm Arise students! It has come to the attention of the Coronal staff that certain su bversive people in the Corona Senior High Office a-e vaq ' ro an all-out campaign to break down and undermine our morale. They are going about their fiendish work by mixing up tardy slips, lousing up the bulletin and re-raveling red tape! While it formerly took only 49 seconds to obtain a tardy slip it now takes at least 54 and someone seems to derive a great deal of perverted pleasure out of having several meetings scheduled all at the same time. But the chief plot is the red tape plot commonly known to the office heads as 23. The poor unsuspecting student goes to the office to denosit a little money or draw some club ' s funds out and unwillingly plays right into their hands. First they demand to see his student body card and then force him to fill out three long blanks. After a period of long concentration- — for these blanks require an entire personal history of the filler-outer — they must be signed by three other people. Having disrupted three classes to get the necessary signa- tures, the student fights his way back to the office where he is greeted with a cheery. Oh, dear, you forgot to have these stamped by Mr. Thome. Now the blanks are filled out and stamped, but do thev find their way into important files? NO — one is sent to Mr. Thome, one to Mrs. Hale to analyze the handwriting, and one for the coach to record track times on! So beware of these people. Stay away from the office or else you. too. will become invoice insane. page one hundred thirty CORONA MACHINE SHOP ZILIOLI HOME BAKERY 410 Washburn Street Phone 267 614 S.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience. This is Cilton Mross broadcasting from the Home Gardens Opera House where a large crowd of glittering first-nighters are gathering for Arkansas Robert ' s latest production — Stories of the North Atlantic. Coming in the auditorium in a swirl of mink and denim are JERRY LOU EMERSON and SONNY RAGSDALE, the personality plus people of the ' 51 senior class. They have stopped and are talking with EVA CHEANEY and TOM MCCAULEY the best senior athletes, recently returned from the Olympic games. They are now joined by ROLLIE RAE MORGAN, who — along with SONNY RAGSDALE — were the most popular seniors. There is a disturbance in the back! I believe that CHARLENE PARKER and PAUL REGAN, the noisiest seniors, are entering with BONNIE HALEY and CHARLES MC COY the quietest seniors follow- ing. Both girls are wearing strapless gowns and blue orchids. JEAN WATSON and KEN STRONG have just taken seats in their private box. Both were chosen as the best senior musicians and will appear in their own concert here next week. EDNA STALLCUP is now sitting with TOM MCCAULEY and the couple is drawing many compliments from the assembled throng with their beautiful figure and physique, respectively, The curtain is about to rise and here come two late-comers. They are well known to the nation, being PAT OLSON and GEORGE PADGETT the most likely to succeed. Miss Olson is lovely tonight in a burlap sheath in contrast with Padgett ' s levi tux. The curtain has at last risen and JANET de BLOIS and HARRY CHAPMAN — known to theater goers as Harrison and Kate — are on the stage. They were chosen as best actress and actor of the class of ' 51. Miss de Blois ' s costume is an unusual, lavender bathing suit with an ermine garter. And so tonight, ladies and gentlemen, another success is born — THE CLASS OF ' 51 ! ! ! ! page one hundred thirty-six DP� rTs «� r ?ut� Ts Hi - Pol of «yT. cT %« ? Cor, S N o u GI US B.T .
