Memories of friends we have made, ecstasies we have experienced, and unsullied joys we have felt through the year form the pages of this 1950 Cardinal. Lest we forget, we pause from time to time and turn the pages of this annual to live again past thrills and recall pleasant associations. In passing we trust that through these experiences we have con- tributed in some small way to a bigger and better school life. The new Art and Homemaking Building brings pleasure to our studies. MORNING NOON NIGHT And what is so rare as a day in June? a famous poet once said. Many of us have that same opinion, especially about graduation day and the end of school. But let us not forget our other life that we have just left behind, our morning, noon, and night existence, the round of campus life to which this book is respectfully dedicated. Our classes, ball games, school activities, and even the lunchtime get-togethers add a certain spice to our lives. Think how lost we would be if we could not go to school and see all the people we know and like, for school is not all studying. It is com- posed of all the elements which revolve to make a happy day-to-day adventure for everyone. To the campus life this book is respectfully dedicated. Students find the lunch period a happy time for friendly - informal chatter and companionship. ou -r • ) r M yy a Qti Y ' h f ,W CHEM . • PHYS ED . . LIT . . HOME EC . . MATH .

Morning brings the excitement and anticipa- tion of new and unknown experiences. In the fol- lowing pages it will be exemplified as time for classes; it will lead us to the goal of graduation, which opens still another door of life, the door to our future. SENIORS . . JUNIORS . .

Dr. Verne Ross Principal of Adult Education The tall grey gentleman, whose kind and under- standing face will be long remembered around the campus, the man who is ready and willing to help both students of the day and of the night is Dr. V. R. Ross. He has been principal of Covina ' s Adult Edu- cation Department since it was established. We wish to acknowledge our appreciation for his years of help and inspiration and hope he gives many more. There is a group of adults whom we students of Covina rarely see or know. They meet on the first Monday of every month. They put in many tedious hours so that we may have our needs fulfilled. A few examples are the recent construction of new buildings, basketball courts, and a much needed park- ing lot. We, the students of Covina High School, would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to the Board of Directors for their untiring efforts in the betterment of our school. IllHen of leadership Studying plans of new buildings are the Board of Directors: Mrs. Lela M. Heffner. Dr. C. E. Pancoast, Mr J. D. Reed, Jr., Mr. Truman Johnson (president of the Board of Directors), Mr. Joseph F. Wood, and Mr. Stanley Shaver. , Mr. Oliver Corbin Vice -Principal Mr. Stanley Shaver Superintendent CIL auicie us to our Goals ' r Mr. Shaver sits at the head desk of Covina Union High. Besides being prin- cipal, he is also the superintendent of this district which includes Baldwin Park, West Covina, Charter Oak, and Irwindale. Any matter that has to do with making the school run smoothly calls for his consideration. He finds time and considers it a pleasure to help and advise students a ny hour of the day. We are grateful for his unwavering loyalty. We find our vice-principal, Mr. Corbin, in the attendance office every morning around 8:15. He may be chatting with the students or eyeing the late-comers. We have appreciated his serious heart- to-heart talks and his friendly interest in every student. Our association this year with Mr. Corbin has been a pleasure — from the severest task of giving detention to the signing of absence cards. Mrs. Alene Abram Mr. William L. Alsup Mr. James E.

MUSIC J?J ?- As noon is the sun ' s high time, it is also the high time for our social life — a time in which we can be free from all our cares and chat with our friends. Our conversation may be held in the cafeteria, at the malt shop, or at a club activity. We may be planning par- ties, trips, plays, dances and other social events. These few minutes of freedom from work bring rest and relaxation and renew our zest to work again. ?_ wm . DRAMA . . SCHOLARSHIP . . ACTIVITIES . .

The Cardinal staff this year has tried to show campus life through modern eyes. We have used new shapes, layouts, and colors to express our time theme. The work herein exemplified has been done on the whole as an extracurricular ac- tivity of the student. Those pictured on this page are only a few who have helped publish this book. We wish sincerely to thank all t hose who have given of their time and talent to help us present a well- rounded picture of our school. We hope that this is a book the student will cher- ish through the coming years, a Cardinal that will bring back old scenes, familiar faces, and happy recollections.

The paper takes plenty of time and work, but the staff has enjoyed bringing it to you. Ginger Russell was editor-in- chief during the first semester. Assistant editor was Margie Caf- fey; Kay Parker, Jane Finch, and Harold Leigh were editors of the editorial page, feature page, and sports page. During the second semester Kay Parker was editor-in-chief, and Anita Jobe was assistant edi- tor. Jackie Hawkins, Jane Fitch, and Don Boots were editorial, fea- ture, and sports editors. £ am pu5 (cardinal and l l kiu FRONT ROW: Mr. Oliver, Annette Heath, Mary- Joyce Bond.

The students learn how to use the tools of the English language in a practical utilitarian form. The class learns the skill of distinguishing facts from rumors and of condensing one ' s thinking and writing into only the important and necessary details. Some students from this class will be selected for Cardinal work while others will advance to the Cardinal and White. These students put out a four page paper. They wrote their own columns and submitted their own cuts, drawings, and other il- lustrations. Other activities of the year were trips to the Covina Argus- Citizen, the Los Angeles Times, and the Los Angeles Examiner. - JtJX? H €Z0f c z The first special edition of the Cardinal and White was the £3fristmas Issue puT but by the first semester staff. This issue included poems and stories contributed by the students and a list of gifts which they wish to give or receive. The second semester staff published two big issues. The Easter edition had stories and poems written by the students concerning Easter and their spring vacation plans. They also featured an article on beach manners and conduct. The graduation issue contained the wills of the class of 1950 and their plans after graduation. In April four staff members were invited to attend Journalism Day at the University of Redlands. Nancy Koeberle, Sandy Miller, and Dan Lucas represented the front page, and Don Boots represented the sports page. On May fourth other students attended Journalism Day at the University of Southern California. At the beginning of the second semester the staff began including advertisements in the paper. By adding this they hope to keep the Cardinal and White out of debt. The staff feels that a good paper must have pictures and illustrations. This accounts for the price of the paper being high. Last year the Cardinal and White placed third in California for the school paper showing the most progress. pu bticized current 5c hoot news 63 ROW ONE-.

Throughout the year the band participated in parades at Azusa, El Monte, Monterey Park, and Covina. From many of these parades they brought home trophies and ribbons. The band was under the direction of Mr. Sadler and Mr. Alsup. limbic masters mane marvelous The SEXTET consists of a group of girls with exceptional voices, who sing for school and community activities. This past year the sextet sang in the talent show, at Cal Poly, for the Rotary Club and sev- eral other service clubs, at the Senior Mothers ' Tea, and at Commencement. 64 To work for the sake of their school and their football team, six vivacious junior and senior girls were chosen to be our song leaders. These girls, with the aid of Miss Goble, worked out many clever and interesting song routines. They worked hard to build and keep a spirit of cheering and backing for the team in the student bleachers to cheer the boys who were out on the field. The girls were present at the football banquet in the fall. On G. A. A. play days the girls went along to lead school songs. Seventy-five girls combined efforts with Mr. and Mrs. Otto, Mr. Alsup, Mr. Sadler, and the band to work out entertaining stunts for half-times at the football games. These girls were the drill team, majorettes, flag girls, and tumblers. The main object of the drill team was to foster school spirit at the games. Two of the best performances were given at Burbank and South Pasadena. The Bur- bank theme was Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone? The South Pasadena theme was Circus.

The CARDINAL AND WHITE MIXED CHOIR was made up of sixty students in the class and the accompanists, Marilyn Deitz and Pat Hines. Mr. William Lynch was the direc- tor of this group. During the first semester the choir was selected to furnish music for the teachers ' institute. In March the choir provided a suc- cessful Easter program for the Covina Woman ' s Club. The annual Music Festival held at El Monte in April was one of the major events of the year for the Cardinal and White Mixed Choir. The choir also performed for the Back-to-School Night during Public Schools ' Week. The climax of the year was the presenta- tion of George Gershwin ' s musical, Of Thee I Sing. The profits went toward the buying of choir robes. Singing for baccalaureate and singing for commencement also were high- lights. The COMMERCIAL ORCHESTRA was a regular class in Covina. It was made up of sixteen boys who were interested in be- coming acquainted with commercial music. The students learned modern dance rhythms and tempos. Mr. Lynch served this class as their very able director. The purpose of the Commercial Orchestra was to provide music and an orchestra for the school. The orchestra played for several assemblies. It provided the intermission en- tertainment for the junior play. It contributed its music to the Back-to-School Night Concert, and it recently played at a civic dance in Baldwin Park.

The club was very active in helping with make-up for the junior play. An Angel Intrudes, an amusing com- edy, was given for an assembly by the Little Theater and sponsored by the Masque and Dagger. Tryouts for this club were held at the beginning and the ending of each school year. The new members were selected entirely by their acting ability and had to be juniors or seniors. The Masque and Dagger members went with members of the dramatics class to several outstanding plays during the year. Among them were In- side U. S. A. and Here Comes Mr. Jordan. Meetings were held once a month, al- ternately at the members ' homes. During spring vacation the club jour- neyed to Laguna Beach to have their party. It proved to be fun for all. Miss Jackson was their adviser. Of- ficers of the club were elected for one semes- ter. First semester officers were president, George Seaman; vice-president, Bob Bish; secretary, Pat Hawkins; and treasurer, Bob- bie Richard.

The vice-presidents were Kerry Philleo and Johnny Nichols; the secretaries were Darrell Bruner and Winton Ashton. John Bruner and Ted Anderson were treas- ? membership . The object of the JUNIOR STATESMEN is to give students a voice in government and to enlighten them in the making and the passing of laws. The project of the club this year was to provide a handbook to acquaint the freshmen of next year with Covina. The Covina chapter of the Junior States- men attended district meetings at Santa Barbara, Mark Keppel, and San Diego. They sold confections at basketball games to raise money. The officers were Ted Anderson, presi- dent: Joyce Abbott, vice-president; Barbara Wilcher, secretary; and Laura Lee Decker, treasurer. The adviser was Mr. Jensen. The LETTERMEN ' S CLUB was estab- lished to bring together athletes, who have earned letters in football, basketball, base- ball, track and tennis.

The CALIFORNIA SCHOLARSHIP FEDERA- TION, Chapter 389, is a new club on the campus. It was first organized in 1949 and has had two successful years. The club ' s motto is Scholarship for Service. The requirement for membership to C. S. F. is ten points based on semester grades. Three points are given for an A in a solid subject, and one point, for a B . Fractional parts of points are awarded for extracurricular activities. Students of all four classes may be members. All members of the C .S. F. are entitled to apply for special college scholarships. One of the scholarships given is the Seymour Award. Richard Kriger was the member applying from our chapter this year. Top honors from this year ' s senior class go to Kerry Philleo, Joyce Abbott and Richard Kriger. These seniors have had six semesters of eligibility, one of which was in their senior year. They received the lamp pin. If one receives the next highest honors, one is able to keep one ' s C. S. F. pin. The second highest honor is given to one with four semesters of eligibility, one being in the senior year. Mrs. Garrison took over as adviser when Mrs. Abram left and worked with the club to further interest in it. Every year the club has a district meeting with one school as host for the others in its district. This year the meeting was held in Santa Monica. The Covina chapter of FUTURE FARM- ERS OF AMERICA started this year with a most successful participation in the Los An- geles County Fair. Every F. F. A. member who competed in livestock and poultry show competition came h o m e with a first place award. This germinated a spirit of enthusi- asm which carried over into the seeding of twenty acres of oats and the landscaping of the new homemaking building. Chapter social events were the Father and Son Banquet, F. F. A.-F. H. A. dance, week- end judging field trips, chapter farmer and greenhand initiation, and several barbecues. The Covina chapter topped these events by winning the trophy at the east Los Angeles County F. F. A. fun day. This year ' s activities were so well organized and supervised by the students under the leadership of President rEeie Carlson that he was awarded the Cali- fornia Bankers ' Certificate of Merit by Judge Thomas Reed and each of the officers received an unqualified recommendation from the chap- ter adviser, Mr. Otto. Members will long remember the fun and fine fellowship as well as the practical and educational affairs which made 1949-1950 an outstanding year in the history of the Covina Future Farmers. lurtlier a dpirit of unltu . . . tmr Ham!.

The League made money from its coke and do-nut sales as well as from the hot dog stand which was open at the football games. The League also ran the candy counter every noon for the enjoyment of the students. This organization started the revolving fund for the benefit of the students. Among the many other activities of the Girls ' League were the Valentine Ball and the Senior Mothers ' Tea, both of which proved to be huge successes.

Putting out the football programs started the Covina HI-Y ' s activities for the year. In the fall they teamed with the Y- Teens in the annual Y-Day in Hollywood. The excursion took them to Grauman ' s Chinese Theater, then to the Hollywood High School for lunch. Following this, they were guests at the Coliseum for a football game. Some activities were a joint meeting with the Y-Teens, a forum on dating, and a potluck dinner. Officers this year were Doug Hibbs, president; Don Boots, vice-president; Harold Leigh, treasurer; and Ed Faulkner, secre- tary. Mr. Vaniman was the adviser. Betty Gilbank and Mrs. Otto were pres- ident and adviser respectively of the COVINA Y-TEENS. The year ' s activities began with a welcoming breakfast for all new freshmen members. The Tri-Y attended Y-Day in Holly- wood and sang carols and gave cookies to the Azusa Sanitorium at Christmas. One of the most interesting meetings was a panel discussion about dating held with the Baldwin Park Y-Teens and the Hi-Y.

A., and its purpose is to help the youth of America interested in the national, inter- national, and local affairs and to creat better citizens. This year, with Darlene Mickens as pres- ident, the Baldwin Park Y-Teens kept very busy. Some of their activities have been send- ing party packages and Christmas candy to Europe, Christmas caroling, and collecting food, clothing, and gifts for the needy. They sponsored the Sock Hop and All-School Skate. They also participated in the student patrol. Y-Day, swimming at the Y in Pomona, pot- luck dinners, and several parties have kept the Y-Teens active at other times. LOS CONQUISTADORES began their activities of this school year by electing new officers: Ronald Holmes, president; Carmen Langlois, vice-president; Janet Good, secretary; and Allene Nixon, treasurer. The capable ad- visers were Mrs. Abram and Miss Favara. One of the important and most enjoyable activities was the initiation of new members into the club. As usual, the initiation was a success, and it proved to the initiates the op- portunity of being a member of Los Conquis- tadores. The annual trip to Padua Hills was not surpassed by any other activity of the program for the year.

The NURSES ' CLUB has done much toward gaining and keeping the interest of the students preparing for practical nursing. Miss Morris was their adviser. The officers were president, Harriet Morse; vice-president, Lois Seabolt; and secretary, Beverly Seabolt. Serving as hostesses at the Covina Hos- pital was one of their many enjoyable activi- ties. At one meeting they had an instructor and a student nurse to speak on the require- ments of a student nurse and her social life. One of this club ' s biggest projects was to aid the Girls ' League in establishing the students ' revolving fund to aid students who are in the need of financial aid. The FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA have served the school through a number of projects, making curtains for the counseling room, arm bands for student patrol, and track ribbons. Much was done for the Red Cross. Twenty gift boxes were packed for teenagers, and toys were stuffed for the Veterans Administration. Everyone had fun at the initiations and skating party. The F. H. A. combined with the F. F. A. to sponsor the Christmas dance. March eighteenth Doreen Crane was elected president of Section 11 at Pomona.

SC I i ool a ctivitied The LIBRARY STAFF members of Covina Union High School serve the students and faculty in the most cour- teous and efficient manner possible. Requirements for a satisfactory Library Staff member are dependability, ac- curacy, alertness, and a pleasant per- sonality. The staff consists of from sixteen to eighteen members. Full credit is given for library class. The members are recommended by their counsellors and by the English depart- ment and are assigned definite duties for each day. It is the staff ' s duty, along with the librarian, to keep the library in per- fect condition at all times so that it is of the greatest convenience to the stu- dent body. The Gaveleers, as the DEBATE CLUB is called, has attempted to re- vive interest in a group to represent Covina High in public speaking ap- pearances. The club offers practical experience for the novice and the more experienced speaker alike. The members hold informal debates among themselves, as well as meet with other schools in friendly competition. The club gives an opportunity for the in- dividual to practice and improve his own thinking and expression in pre- senting speeches. Mr. Oliver served as the adviser of the Debate Club.

School spirit Soared liiali tli r his Season Here we want to show the things that make our school what it is, the things we are proud of in our school life, the things school spirit — morale — is built upon. They all combine in the attitude of the student, his interest in the school, and his participation in sports, social events, and other activities. We want to show the little insignificant things that will remind us of our happy high school days in the years to come — a rally cap worn cocky on a student ' s head, a varsity letterman ' s sweater worn by the boy ' s best girl, a worn-out hot rod, a snappy coupe with twin pipes, ukes and carefree students playing them, the tardy bell and the anxious grin of a late arrival to class. These and manv more are the things we will remember. Tense moment A tense moment of a football game, then the stands going wild as the home team makes a touchdown, a perfect basketball shot thrown from center floor, a high-hurdler corning down the track, a well-played game and then the victory dance — these are supreme moments to youth and happiness. Then comes the senior year with its round of activities — senior picnic, our last prom, June, and graduation. We go on to bigger and better things, but our hearts remain at Covina Union High. 0il FRONT ROW: Kimi Yamamoto. secretary and treasurer: Norma Meacham, vice-president: Darlene Mickens, president: and Bonnie Jarvie.

The officers of the Girls ' Athletic Association and the sport managers have all done a fine job in making the organization one for all who are members to be proud of. This year many girls have participated in G.A.A. and have learned the real meaning of sportsmanship. Cv. Ar. Ar. airld k The Girls ' Athletic Association is for all girls of Covina Union High School who are interested in extra- curricular activities and wish to earn sport awards. At the beginning of the year a picnic was held at the Covina park for those who were interested in join- ing G. A. A. The organization enables the girls to compete between their own classes and get acquainted with girls from f ' iaue aaine T d ciooci 9 other schools. Each year a playday is planned for the schools in the same league. All the girls had a good time at the playdays which were held at Mark K e p p e 1 and Rosemead High Schools. The year would not have been as big a success if it hadn ' t been for the expert guidance of Miss Goble, Mrs. Hall, and Mrs. Otto. The G. A. A. says, Thanks. ROW OXE: D. Delia Ventura. C.

Some of the schools challenged by the team were South Pasadena, Whittier, Mark Keppel, Monrovia, Citrus, Bonita, Po- mona, and Puente. It seemed that when the Covina girls decided to win a match this year, they won everything and when they lost, they lost everything. This didn ' t happen at every match, but it happened often enough to become a joke among the team. The girls ' tennis team has done a fine job this year, and we hope that they will do as well next year. Mrs. Hall, their coach, seems quite sure they will.

Wen of Red and Wkih The end of the forty-nine football season found the Covina Colts the victors in seven out of ten games which placed us fourth in the Foothill League. The Rotary Club again sponsored the player of the week, the most valuable player of the year, and the player who showed the most sportsmanship in the games. Captain Dick Gant was chosen as the most valuable player, and Bob McCarty was chosen the player with the best sportsmanship. Those given player-of-the-week awards were Don Oelrich in the Pomona game, Fred Knapp in the La Jolla game.OIorm Nygaard in the Hoover game , Jim Hanifan in the Mon- rovia game, AT Bates in the Burroughs game, Captain Dick Gant in the Bell Gar- dens game, Dick Lee in the Glendale game, Lowell Frye in the Burbank game, Bob Clifford in the South Pasadena game, and George Seaman in the Colton game. Two of our varsity players were chosen for the second string All-Foothill League team. They were Al Bates, left half, and Bill Vinson, right guard. Captain Dick Gant was chosen for the C. I. F. second string. The forty-nine Colts under the superb coaching of Lawrence Buzz Bemoll, line coach Wayne Engel, and end coach Howard Karjala were outscored three times, but it can honestly be said they were never out- played.

Fighting every minute of the time, the Colts emerged the victors by a score of 15 to 0. Norm Nygaard was nom- inated Player of the Week. HOOVER MONROVIA JOHN BURROUGHS Covina versus Monrovia was a very hard game for the Colts to lose. Even though they lost, the Colts were again not outplayed. Covina battled to the very end, and everyone seemed proud of the team. Aerial Al Bates threw two touchdown passes. The final score was Monrovia 32 to Covina 20. Bell Gardens was hungry for a win , as they came on the field. The Colts showed the Lancers absolutely no mercy. Almost every member of the Covina Varsity saw action that night. It was Dad ' s Night for Covina and many a proud Dad saw his son grab his helmet and run out on the field. Captain Dick Gant played an outstanding game both defensively and offensively. The final score, 57 to 6, found the Colts the victors. BELL GARDENS 90 and brlii (i It ome the victor v Both Covina and Glendale were at their best this game. It was one of the hardest games for the Colts. After 48 minutes of rock and sock-em football, the game ended in a 19-19 tie. Dick Lee played an outstanding game and was given Player of the Week. Covina had waited all season for the South Pasadena game. A rivalry had grown between the two high schools. The Colts were after a pelt this game. Even though Covina was outscored, they had held the Tigers to a score of 7 to 28. This was the least any league team had been beaten by South Pasadena. GLENDALE SOUTH PASADENA At the beginning of the John Burroughs ' game, the Colts seemed to lack their usual spirit. One penalt y was called right after another. Bad luck seemed to follow them all through the first half. The second half, the Colts came back with vim and vigor and beat John Burroughs 20 to 13. Until the Burbank game the Colts had suf- fered only one defeat. Burbank had also lost only one game. Although Covina fought bravely, the Bull- dogs managed to beat the Colts by a score of 14 to 40. Even though they were outscored, the Colts still played their usual hard-hitting football. The Colts were by no means outplayed in this game. BURBANK Vo •i V - -■ ■ - 6« k ll fi n tt a fv e ' 6 . Vi , a , N1 „- e 92 Be ee 5 prepare for uarM pre f° I hi da i i j aai j Under the capable coaching of Mr. Vaniman and Mr. Greeley the Bee ' s im- proved in every game. They were scored on less each game, the highest being 39 and the lowest, 0. The first game of the year was with Redlands ' sophomore team. Redlands took this game 19 to 6. The next week the fourth, fifth, and sixth strings played a practice game with Puente. The Coltlets emerged victorious by a score of 8 to 0. The following day the first, second, and third strings played and beat California Junior Republic 44 to 0. The first league game was played at Glendale Hoover. The team put up a good scrap but lost by a score of 39 to 2. The next game was with Monrovia, the Wildcats winning 33 to 0. The firs t league team to come to our field was John Burroughs. They found it hard to beat the Coltlets, the final score being 21 to 6. The team then jour- neyed to Bell Gardens and Burbank to get beaten 19 to 6 and 6 to respectively. The next game with Glendale was played on our field in the rain. The team showed very well throughout the whole game which ended to 0. The following week an in- spired team went to South Pasadena. The Coltlets took the lead halfway through the first quarter 6 to 0. The game stayed that way until the last quarter. South Pasadena threw a pass to her left end who crossed the goal line with twenty seconds of play left. The Tigers made their kick and took the game 7 to 6. This was a moral victory for the Coltlets. They had outplayed, but unfortunately not outscored, a team which was favored to win by a fairly good score. The Coltlets were led by their captains, Dick Nixon and Ken Hillman. The Bee ' s showed excellent teamwork making it im- possible to point out any outstanding players. At midseason the squad began to use the platoon system, one group for offense and another for defense. The Coltlets, found doing a fine job passing, were Ken Hillman and Larry Mann; those receiving were Al Heath, Ron Mc- Intyre, and Dave Thomas. Those seen weaving in and out down the field were Ron Weinholt, Bobbie King, and Ken Hill- man; making their openings were Ralph McVay, Sam Golden, and Dick Nixon. The fiery Coltlets ' first string showed promising material for next year ' s varsity ranks. They will further their struggle to win and carry on the ever present Colt spirit. ? , . on it on ' i Loifc L ovina h oonmen hit hi ah Scorina For the third straight year the basket- ball team was under the leadership of Coach Sooter. The Colts ' casaba squad climbed into the upper strata of the basketball teams of Southern California with a second place spot in the Foothill League. Once again they proved themselves giant killers by defeating the league champs, Burbank, after they had gone undefeated in eighteen straight games. Other highlights of a good season were a basket in the last four seconds to give us a 35 to 34 victory over Whittier, a fifteen-point splurge in the last quarter while holding Glendale to one point result- ing in a 35 to 34 victory, and another 39 to 4 scoring edge in the last quarter against Riverside giving the Colts another win of 39 to 36.

The Mothers ' Banquet climaxed the season in grand fashion. Captain John Bruner was honored by being selected for the Foothill League team at center position and was later chosen for the second string All - C. I. F. basketball team. Darrell Bruner and John Nichols received honorable mention as league rep- resentatives o n t h e All - Foothill League team. Gaston Silva and Allen Conwell joined the three above as the usual starting five and along with some five reserves made possible the over-all record of 19 wins and 10 losses and the 9 won, 5 lost league record.

A trophy was awarded him by the Rotary Clubs of Covina and Baldwin Park for this honor. John set a new scoring record for Covina with 412 points and a 16 point average in the league. He proved his defensive ability by never having been outscored by any center he opposed during thenar.

Another coveted award presented by the combined Rotary Clubs was for the most improved player, and the squad picked Bob Clifford as their candidate because of his improvement in the skills and team play so necessary to basketball. Bob is one of those players who is always practicing bas- ketball at every possible opportunity, shoot- ing baskets at home and in the park on Saturdays. This certainly paid off to a de- serving basketeer. . -i atc The crowd rushes Covina s hoopmen as they meet another league team and come out vie- ,j!

The light- weights were a high scoring and interesting team to watch, who showed flashes of bril- liant playing. Playing against Foothill League teams made up largely of seniors, the boys, who were all sophomores except one, ended in cellar position. However, this was the best Bee team for several years. Ronald Griffin was awarded a trophy for the most valuable player on the Bee team. Ronald was the leading scorer for the Bees, and his ability was further recog- nized when he was voted a place on the All- League Bee team. Under the coaching of the newest mem- ber of the basketball coaching staff, Mr. Preston, the Cee ' s and Dee ' s had an average season. Competing against older and more experienced boys from larger schools, they managed to win their share of the games played. Following in the varsity team ' s footsteps, they climaxed their season by de- feating Burbank. These boys gained valu- able experience and should be a help to the A and Bee squads before they graduate. Shigeru Kinoshita and Kenneth Thompson were rewarded for their fine all-around play on the Cee and Dee squads by being chosen the most valuable to their teams. FRONT ROW: Elmer Fedorenko.

Nevertheless, many fine performances were given and three varsity records were broken. Captain Ted Anderson set new school records in both of the low hurdle races and in the high hurdles. Anderson ' s new times for these events were 14.7 seconds in the highs, 13.0 seconds in the 120 yard lows, and 20.0 seconds in the 180 yard lows. Other outstanding cindermen in varsity were Harold Leigh in the 440 and 880, Bob Clifford in the 880, Fred Knapp in the sprints, and the shot putters, Sam Russo and Doug Hibbs. Harold Leigh placed fifth in the 880 at the league finals. Orval Burchfield and Dave Buckley showed skill in the high jump This year the Bee ' s showed the greatest power of any of the track teams. Great talent appeared in many of the athletes. Ralph Cunin broke the Bee shot put record with a mighty heave of 49 feet 10 inches. Fred Knapp, who alternated between varsity and Bee ' s, tied the Bee lo w_ hu rdle record with a time of 14.0 second s A late season performer was Mark Shank, who placed third at the league meet in the 1320. Twice he came within one-tenth i o f a second of tying the record in that eventj Other outstanding Bee ' s were Jim Ward in the sprints and broad jump and John Porter- field in the century. Experience and depth would have possibly led this team to a league championship. on the cinder pain while Frank Place showed great promise in the hurdles. Burchfield tied for fifth at the league finals in the high jump. Many of the varsity boys will be back next year, and we can expect fine performances throughout the next season. The 1950 team was coached by two able and efficient coaches. They were Coach Be- moll and Coach Caldwell. The Cee ' s showed promise and many possible stars of tomorrow. The outstanding Cee performer was Robert Ward, who broke the Cee high jump record with a leap of 5 feet 8 and one-fourth inches. Another promising sprinter was Ronald Randall. Both Coaches Bemoll and Caldwell expect great things from the Bee ' s and Cee ' s, who will make up our depth in the varsity next year. Ralph Cunin. the Bee ' s shot put- ter, broke the shot put record with a throw of 49 ' 10 . Jim Ward, one of the outstanding Bee sprinters, ran the 220 in 23.7 seconds and broad jumped over 19 feet. Fred Knapp, one of the fastest splinters, tied the 1 o w hurdle record the first time he ran the race. Under the able managing of Coach Doc Sooter, Covina High ' s baseball team tied for second place with South Pasadena in the league tilts with 9 wins and 5 defeats. The team was led by co-captains Al Bates and Bill Vinson. The team ' s leading batter was Bill Vinson, who batted at a clip of .424. There was a total of six boys on the team who batted well above .300. Pitching for the Colts were Chuck Malone, Ira McBride and Gene Ferree. Behind the plate was Bill Vinson. The infield was ably covered by Al Bates at first base, Chuck McBride at second, Leon Joplin at third, and Bill Darnell at short stop. In the 3 5tn heS . . Ujt ou re pasture there were Fred Knapp, Don Oelrich, Norm Nygaard, Roy Pray, Harold Wallace, and Ignacio Miranda. Bill Vinson received the trophy from the Rotary Club as the most valuable player. Roy Pray was given a trophy for the most improved player of 1950. Next year the team will have more ex- perience, and we can expect great things from them. The Colts execute a successful squeeze play as Roy Pray bunts and Bill Darnell heads for the plate.
