Corona High School - Coronal Yearbook (Corona, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1952 volume:

m IH Hi Now . . with our whole lives before us, it is hard to think of looking back” and ' remember- ing. Yet, that is what a yearbook is for. It is a good book only if it captures the moods, and thoughts, and big moments for each of us in the year 1951 - 52 . What better way is there to capture these moods and and moments than in the songs we sang and loved to hear? The throb of the bass, with a clear trumpet cutting thrpugh will remind us of all the dances — the big formal affairs, and the colorful post-game hops. The novelties like Come Onna My House, and How High the Moon” will remind us of what we talked and laughed about all year. . . And the love songs . . well, every couple has their favorite one, wrapped up with some- thing special they like to remember. That is why he have chosen Without a Song” to set the mood for our annual. . . . Without a song, the CORONAL would fail to capture within its pages the highlights and good times ... the moods and the happiness of the year. -KF- Mr. Frazier is CHS ' s principal — and many things more. Aside from contending with students ' problems in his role as principal, Mr. Frazier is known by all as an understanding friend. His helpful guidance has given many students and graduates the encouragement to go on to their goals. Coronal salutes CHS ' s principal and all CHSers ' friend. In years to come, one of your mind ' s favorite reminiscent journeys will be back to the 1951-52 campus life at Corona Senior High School. Coronal will be honored to be your guide. This year ' s Coronal staff hopes to accomplish just one thing this year in trying to help you recapture some of the quizical expressions of your favorite teachers, the new gestures shown by the drama students strolling through the hall, the flaming new jerseys that the team was so proud of — and, of course, the wonder- ful football rallies, snake dances and parades of which the gold-clad song and yell-leaders were a big part. With these many activities the Coronal hopes you’ll hear in the background the strains of 1951-52 ' s popular music — “Tenderly , “Sin”, Undecided . Coronal is pleased to have had a part in helping you keep and hold the beauty, Mr. Samuel E. Waldrip, Assistant Supt. of Schools, and Mr. George M. Kibby, Supt. of Schools, are seen planning for the new Administration Building interior to be erect- ed at the old Lincoln School site. Many teachers here at CHS enjoy doing exactly what Mrs. Arnold, World History, Sr. Homemaking, and Homemaking 1 1 teacher,- and Mrs. Peterson, Sr. Homemak- ing, Homemaking 10, and World History teacher also, are doing. Mr. Pape, Chemistry and Biology teach- er, was caught in this picture doing an experiment. Mrs. Marion Griswold, being Dean of Girls, Vice Principal, and a shorthand teacher, is usually seen doing this sort of thing as only a part of her activity here at CHS. Miss Powell, CHS librarian, and Miss Escalante, English and Spanish teacher, have taken a brief pause to step outside their respective classes and have a breath of fresh air. Mr. Ritter, journalism and English 10, 11 teacher, and Mr. Addison, U.S. History teacher, have evidently decided to take their pay in advance. It seems as though Mr. Ayllon, U.S. History and World History teacher, has decided to take off from his worries and make a visit to Mr. Pauly, Metal Shop instructor, and indulge in making a metal “hickory stick. Bonaparte’s Retreat Any time during the day you sort of thing at meal time. Te are Mr. Bynum, Typing and E Shorthand and Typing teacher; Mr. Heckel, the reason for our : ay see the teachers doing this ners taking time out to do this Dkkeeping teacher; Mrs. Ryan, irs. Lois Tait, gym teacher; and lart-looking CHS band. These two teachers were newcomers to CHS this year. Mr. Bottaro — being English 10, 1 1 teacher, and Miss Lopez, the French teacher and also gym teacher — examine a strange French book, entitled, France. These two men are coaches here at CHS. Mr. Looney enjoys working with the boys in their gym classes, while Mr. Merk, a World History teacher besides being a gym teacher, has to divide his attention between two different subjects. Mr. Farmer, the reason for our performance plus, CHS Glee Club, is trying to instruct Mr. Newman, English 1 1 teacher, how to operate a piano. Also new teachers this year at CHS are Mr. Gaier, an English 10 and a drama teacher, and Mr. Guilmette, an American Problems teacher. Here they give an example of an American Problem that confronts some high school students. Mr. Froseth, geometry, algebra, and physics teacher, and Mr. Taylor, Drivers Education teacher, seem to enjoy work- ing with experiments as their favorite past time. Mr. Pitts, Vocational Ag. teacher, Mr. Brooks, mechanical drawing and woodshop teacher, and Mr. Duncan, math., geometry and world history teacher were caught unaware that their picture was being taken. tft’s OfLL Over 3ui C Lie Memories CHS — frantic cramming, muddled up meetings, piles of home work, stupendous times, heaps of fun, and a neat Student Body of which there was no whicher (gads what a bunch of characters.) ' Every morning Mr. Frazier wrote a little bulletin to let us all know what was coming off. It went something like this: Good morning students. Period six will be during period three and report to period one during the last half of period five. Bus students riding busses 2, 3, and 5 will prepare to leave five and a half minutes early to catch their regular busses 76 and 42 instead of busses 33 and 8 which they were scheduled to ride previously at 3:03. All girls please meet in Mrs. Griswold ' s office snatch period today. Hey Kids! The Welfare committee reports that of the $72.00 col- lected Tuesday $4.26 will be spent on baby booties for South Africans. Thanks a lot kids. When we were late — more dying grandmothers, car break-downs and com- mittee meetings developed than a barrel of monkeys could take care of — as understanding Mrs. Giersch and precious Francis Martinez stood in the office madly writing out yellow tardy slips. The C.H.S. girl was a sweet and charming creature. All were agreed upon this fact except for a certain group of individuals called boys often seen loitering around the CHS campus. They often asked us girls how much Sam Speer had gyped us out of for those horrible chains we wore around our necks. (Known to all as medallions.) These same boys never said how nice we looked in our turtle necked bat-wings (sweaters that is) and on top of that this bunch of creeps” had the colossal nerve to say that our neat all-white buckskin shoes ' were for the birds. Then they ' d get in little gangs around the Hi-Spot or out by their hot-rods and goof-off or stand and talk about cams and drilling holes in heads, and twin pipes” and things like that, while we silently in- sulted the clothes they wore. Levis or cords or blue denims were the most im- portant thing with cuffs rolled up and tops pulled way down, the lower the bet- ter, with Lettermen or class sweaters, leather or suede jackets. Other than their flat top or butch hair cut and their hot rods their pride and joy was usually a pair of handmade argyle socks, the louder the classier. Shoot! How could we girls say they were corny lookin ' ' when we were the ones who knitted them? Eee Jolla! I almost forgot — our never to be forgotten assemblies. Most of us usually left our studentbody cards at home but finally we ' d stumble to our as- signed seats and prepare for some chongo entertainment. Louie, the neatest studentbody president ther ever was, was always there to open the assembly in one of his neat white shirts. At the end — as music to the ears of all — came the words Seniors leave first”. After dances and games the mob usually wound up at the Mava or Lindy ' s to bother the car hops, have a coke and listen to songs on the juke box like — Mule Train, Hey Good Lookin,” Ca Mon A My House, Because of You,” and Sin . And the weather — in December and January while everybody froze in the cafeteria line waiting for spaghetti, the boys smudged and grew rich. In Sep- tember and June everybody nearly kicked off it was so hot, but in the Spring — ahhh me — the weather was truly perfect. Our school was the greatest and our studentbody spirit was wonderful! It would have been nice to have a new gym or a student lounge, or some new bleachers for splinterville but our spirit was so good, and our teams were so - - err - - so - - well - -our teams tried so hard, that we still went around yelling Beat Bonita (ha! ha! — us dreamers us), and having football parades, pep assem- blies and bonfire rallies to cheer them on to victory over such teams as (which one was it now?) Oh yes — dear old St. Joseph High. These tlvngs and countless others meant CHS to us. Heaven knows why, but each of us loved it and as the years go by we will always remember our dear CHS and utter with pride our favorite expression — I like itl 4 DUDLEY ELLIS JACQUELINE HOLCOMB DUANE OLINGER GERTRUDE BARTH JOHN HOWARD HAZEL SMITH EVELYN PARKS BEVERLY ANNIS ROSELYN WILLIAMS KAY LUND JIM HANSEN VERNON SCHINDELE LARRY RHYNER HELEN MAXWELL BOB REGAN BARBARA AUSTIN BARBARA NEWTON GEORGE NELSON !M JIMMY ROBERTSON MARTHA GREENE EDDIE HOGG JOE DREGER BETTY NICKLE KENNETH REED GEORGE MARTINEZ GLORIA PRICHARD DONALD MACKINTOSH DAVID FREDERICKS JOANN MOORE LILA ERICKSON WAYNE MOORE CAROL ROSS BLANCHE FLOWERS BETTY SANFORD BARBARA REED l TONY CERVANTES ROBERTA ROY JOANNE PAYNE GERALDINE LEWIS RUSSELL RUTHERFORD MARY SADLER CAROL LEE MATTHEWS LOUIE LUNA ALICE SPARR FRANK VAN HEE TOMMY DANIERI JOSEPHINE KEGLEY ■ JACK GALBRAITH JOHNNY LO PORTO MARY ANN LUN ETTA KAREN FROSETH CHRISTINE ROBERTS JERRY KYLE LETA FORSYTHE DORIS TUNSTEAD MARY BLAIR DONNA RAGSDALE AUDREY PETER JUNE CALDWELL FREDA PRITCHARD MARY ANN STANFORD CURTIS SHERMAN SOCORRO GARCIA JOYCE BASHOR LOUIS DALCAMO VIOLET GROVES — - SUZANNE PENLAND ELEANOR RODRIQUEZ W- ELLENE BAKENHUS GERALD GADDIE SHIRLEY SPENCER JIM HODGSON KATIE RANEY MARGARET REINHOLD LLOYD CLARK JUNE SHAW RICHARD DICKERSON DORA MENDOZA BILL LUCAS MARY ELEANOR WOOD WANDA BOATMAN WANDA JENKINS EARLENE SMITH JUANITA CASE BERNARD BERNHEIM Senior CfciLvUies The Seniors did it again.

Great enthusiasm was shown by the hundreds that participated in these events. Such enthusiasm proved the student coun- cil ' s efforts were not in vain. In the picture above are some of the socks worn by CHS ' ers to the Sock Hop which was sponsored by the Panther ' s Roar staff. Many changes occurred in the journalism department this year. Its enrollment enlarged and they changed the name of the school newspaper from Ko-Hi-Nur to Panther ' s Roar. mm French Club O’este Si Bon The French Club, a newly organ- ized club this year was started by Miss Margaret Lopez, the new French teacher. French Clubbers are best remembered for their attractive booth at the Halloween festival. To the right is the picture of the booth. So CSired . 7 . yr t -tzSQ . -p ieL OaJ v W -e Hi Y was under the sponsorship of Mr. Arnold Ayllon and Mr. Arthur Bottaro. John Howard reigned as president of this club. Some of the many activ- ities held by Hi Y were the skat- ing parties and the basketball games played by selected mem- bers of the Hi Y. Quill and Scroll Few students are honored by being members of the Quill and Scroll, an International Honorary Society for High School Journalists. Presiding as presi- dent of the club was Tommy Danieri. Assisting him as vice president was Jack Galbraith. (l ' k re s cKo Budness J ike Show 3$, usLness V ‘ Entertainment of a high grade came from this year ' s Drama Club which was under the direction of Mr. Gaier. Lemonville and the Junior play were two of the biggest attractions. Senior SHiujh 35an() This year the Senior High Band has been an outstanding organization for its many activities witnessed by hundreds. The band council decided upon the activities of the band. Numerous performances were exhibited during the half-time of the football games, including the amus- ing toreador act. The band has made many out of town appearances, such as at the Indio Fair, National City, and the Long Beach parade — not to mention the many others. Guiding hand of the band this year has been Mr. Charles Heckel. One of the biggest events of the year for the band was the Hol- iday for bands dance. The band invited all the bands of the league to attend. The idea of the dance was to promote friendship and to achieve better understanding among the dif- ferent bands. The dance was formal and was a program af- fair. Qirls £t eaque there’s cNothinq JCilce Of CD a me Mrs. Griswold, Dean of Girls, arranged many interesting and informative as- semblies for all Girls League members this year. Helping Mrs. Griswold were the cabinet members. Presiding over the cabinet was Mary Eleanor Wood. One of the activities sponsored by the Girls League was a dance after a home bas- ketball game. Mrs. Ryan, a new teacher to CHS this year took the responsibility of sponsoring the Hi Tri, one of CHS ' s largest organizations. Prospective members of the club were turned into Indian maidens as an initiation punishment. It was felt by all club members that president Grace Hutchison provided able leadership. future armers -Make -Mine Country Style The Future Farmer Chapter won many honors during the year.

' XTv VarsLhf JSetiermen Acting as president for the Varsity Lettermen this year was Manuel Mendoza. They chose the candidates for the football queen contest. They raised money for a new basketball and football scoreboard. Even though the Lettermen had a losing season, sportsmanship ran high.

Members attend- ed many music festivals such as Redlands and Claremont. An added attraction of the choir this year was the Panther Chor- alleers. The senior quartet mem- bers pictured with the boys are Kay Lund, June Shaw, Christine Roberts, Pearlie Madron and Doris Tunstead accompanist. Songster Fra nk Van Hee headed Glee Club with Christine Roberts as vice president. J. Lorin Farm- er was director of this singing group. The Debate Club was a new organiza- tion to Corona High School. It was sponsored by Mr. Ed Newman, English teacher. Jo Kegley headed this fast talking group. It had been many years since a Debate Club had been in ex- istence at CHS. The ruling hands of the G.A.A. are seen pictured above with their president Donna Ragsdale and sponsor Mrs. Lois Tait. To the right, members of the board are shown decorating a goal post, which was one of their many activities. Favorite money raising project of this year ' s Girls Athletic Association was noon cake sales. They sponsored many events of the school year. Pre- siding over the club was mighty Donna Rags- dale. Guiding light to the club was Mrs. Lois Tait, gym teacher. Officers for the club were vice president Socorro Garcia, secretary Donna Dueker, treasurers Janet and Janis Wray. With cries of traitor on her lips mysterious Agent QR-22 climaxed one of the most unusual pep assemblies of the year by shooting a St. Joseph spy and distributing secret instructions. Claremont came to our gridiron for the first conference clash of the year and we were downed 14-6 in a hard fought game. The Wolfpack didn ' t put the game on ice until the last three minutes of play. Bob Stark made the only touchdown after Paul Miranda set it up on a 40 yard gallop. The second league game was a runaway for Citrus as they scored in the first, second and fourth periods. We finally scored in the last stanza as Paul Miranda scored from the two yard line. The score was set by a pass to Louis Dalcamo that was good for 14 yards. Bonita didn ' t have too much trouble in taking their contest with us. They won on a handy 33-14 score and the only time that we played good football was in the third quarter. Larry Schimpf and George Abacherli scored one touchdown apiece for us and Don Wyrick made two con- versions. We were unable to punch across the goal line on the night that we played Puente and they took the contest 19-0. The Warriors scored once in the first, second and fourth quarters with Pete Conde being their outstanding grid man of the night. Our last game was also a terrible setback for Corona rooters as we lost to the Chino Cowboys 36-19. Larry Rhyner scored twice for us on quarterback sneaks as he played one of the best games of the season. The most spectacular play of the night was a pass from Larry Schimpf to Bob Holmes that was good for 71 yards and a touchdown. 7e i t Although the Panther basketball squad had what could be called a disastrous season in ' 52 there is more to look at than the win and lose column. This year ' s experience has been very valuable to the juniors and sophomores. As there were only two seniors on the squad, the experience will show up when the ' 53 season rolls around. One of the two seniors on the squad was elected captain and a junior was given the honor of being most valuable player. n Larry Rhyner and Jack Phillips were elected captain and most valuable player respectively. This year ' s top scorer was Bob Stark with 78 points in the 10 league games. Jack Phillips scored 72; Frank Emerson and Larry Rhyner, 39 apiece; and Gerald Gaddie and Buddy Martinez, 25 each. We scored a total of 324 points in the league while our oppon- ents dumped in an even 600 points After getting off to a good start in the first round of league compe- tition the Panther Kittens fell be- hind the second time around and ended up in fourth place. There will not be any first stringers returning to the B ranks but the three men that don’t graduate this year will bolster the varsity ranks next year. Mike Schenck and Bob Regan grad- uate this year while Vico Rameriz, Karl Nelson, and Royce Ernest will move up to the other squad. Royce Ernest, a sophomore, was chosen by his team mates as most valuable player and Mike Schenck was elected captain. Royce Ernest was very deserving of the most valuable player award and also was given a place on the All-League team. Royce was a top scorer with 1 34 points for an average of 13.4 points a game. Bob Regan followed with 105 points in the scoring column for 10.5 points a game. Mike Schenck came along with 70 counters and Vico Rameriz followed close behind with 69 digits. Karl Nelson was lowest in the high scoring column with 35 points. Corona and its opponents scored 447 points apiece during the ten games of league play. This year ' s track teams showed promise in some of the events and with Mr. Looney and Mr. Guilmette doing a fine job of coaching their young hopefuls many of the boys have proven to be fine track and field men. The outstanding hurdler for the year was Bob Holmes who completed his third and last year of athletics. kV;i- 1 r In their year at high school Joe Vallenari and John Lo Porto did a great job at their respective distance points in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Don Wyrick was the outstanding weight man in his last year of competition. ScuefteUl TH Out “7 76t Sail (fame 4 7eH tC4 After a lapse of one year the Corona tennis team came back into existence. Mr. Guilmette took over the coaching of this sport and although the boys had a bad season they improved steadily. Jim Robertson and Tommy Danieri played first doubles while Tom Rodda and Louis Swift held down the second doubles slot. Although the tennis league games didn ' t start until the latter part of April, the team had many practice games with Santa Ana, Elsinore, Perris, and Pomona, to get in shape for the league games. This year the team consisted of five singles and two doubles. In addition it was decided that two extra doubles would go along with the team for their enjoyment and also for exper- ience. The team consisted of the following girls: Pearlie Madron, Mary Eleanor Wood, Mary Ann Lunetta, Janice Brooks, Jo Kegley, Socorro Garcia, Sarah Morrow, Lois Pace, Gloria Mendoza and June Shaw. The badminton team also went out of town with the tennis team to battle with the other schools. The following girls helped to make a go of the team: Betty Bibles, Evelyn Parks, Janis Wray, Shirley Spencer, Mary Blair, Barbara Austin, Donna Ragsdale, and Lila Erickson. TOP TEN PLAYERS OF THE YEAR These ten girls were chosen for their athletic ability, attendance at G.A.A., contribution to the team, and sportsmanship. The top ten are outstanding in all sports and it is a great honor to be chosen as one. Pictured here for speed ball are Gloria Mendoza, Pearlie Madron, Janis and Janet Wray, Jo Anne Brinkman, and Bert Roy. In softball, Dora Mendoza is observing Shirley Spencer slide into home while Socorro Garcia tags her. Guarding Donna Ragsdale at basketball is Janice Brooks. All these girls have worked hard this year and deserve credit for their efforts. Record Rumpus Room” K. B. U. C.

Gazing down on one of the last pages of the Coronal is the tired but triumphant staff. This staff worked hard and long to make this year ' s annual good. The big push behind the staff was their editor Carm Danieri and Assistant Editor, Karen Froseth. Mr. Ed Ritter was the sponsor of this group. To start off with a bang the Coronal staff launched-a beach party at the beginning of the school year. Pictured above from left to right are: Jack Galbraith, Larry McNutt, Paul Mahoney, Carm Danieri, Ellene Bakenhus, Katherine Hacker and Eloise Cox. Missing from the picture are: Mary Ann Lunetta, Lois Pace, Eddie Munn, Sue Johnston and Karen Froseth, Assistant Editor. As the 1952 Coronal comes to a close I would like to express my appreciation by saying thank you to Mr. E.
