A forward look of the eye and a firm grip of the hand have in many instances turned failure into success. And so it has been in my work in Dinuba among loyal students and faculty members. Difficulties have been solved by mutual understanding, and what seemed only ruin and disaster has been turned into tasks of joy and service simply because many have taken my hand and with expressions of confidence given me new faith and courage. The true friendship we enjoy is the in- spiration to live and serve both God and our fellowmen. WALTER HELLBAUM HJ.

The board consists ot two faculty members, besides the prin cipal, and three students. Members this year were: Ralph Miller, Louise Arango, B ro L' h ' l STUDENT COUNCIL Meeting when oc- casion demanded, the Student Council planned and con- trolled student ac- tivities throughout the year, making their decisions with fairness to all. The outstanding accomplishment this year, perhaps, was a change in the con- stitution, w h ic h makes it possible for athletes to earn a sweater after having won nine letters.

The activities of the Freshman class were many and varied, according to the interests and talents of respective members. The most notable event in the line of sports was the awarding of an individual trophy to Clifford Downing for his skill in lightweight basketball. lt was the first time in the history of the school that such an award was presented to a Freshman. A peppy program was given in assembly consisting of a skit, music by the Freshman orchestra and readings. Jessie Porton was the only person eli- gible for membership on the Scholarship Society. Numerous students were on the honor roll. The romantic leads in the operetta were taken by Ralph Miller and Lois Jane Pat- tee. Bennie Odell also had a prominent part. i935-36 President, Ralph Miller, vice president, Doris Pannell, secretary, Jeanne Brewer, treasurer, Rex Spaith.

Qi DELPH The annual this year was published under great difficulties. Mr. Freeman, the ad- viser, was ill for three months just at the time when things should have been moving right along, When he returned, in April, work was pushed, but we were never able to make up the time lost. Most of the engraving copy went in at a time when they were swamped, so we were forced to wait on our cuts. By working extra time, and with the fine cooperation of the print- ing classes and anuual staff, the books were delivered to the students on the last few day of school. We were not able to carry out our original ideas. and things may be missing that should have been included, but we have no apologies to offer for its appearance. 1-3, IC ECHOES Headed by Bennie Odell, the editor, the 1938 Delphic Echoes staff was composed of members of the four classes, Senior, Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman. Members of the staff were: Maxine Mil- ler, associate editor leditor-elect for next yearl, Phyllis Griggs, business manager, Ruth Fowler, classes, Lois .lane Pattee, Ralph Miller, Senior activities, Jeanne Brewer, Senior class history, Thurston Wo- mack, administration, Patricia Hamilton, drama, Rosemary Brereton, music, Clifford Downlng, military, Rex Spaith, Russell Leadabrand, boys' athletics, Frances Hofer, girls, athletics, Florence Kim, Catherine Haycraft, Joe Akers, Virginia Lee Lewis organizations, Byron Lighty, Alfred Mac- kersie, snap editors, Walter Kay Kee, artist. l EMERALD AND WHITE Under the leadership of Beverly Dihel, the Emerald and White has enjoyed a very successful year. The journalism class up- held the tradition of former years by pub- lishing a paper without fail every Thurs- day, though the long absence of Mr. Free- man, the advisor, made it difficult for them to do so. ln the fall and again in the spring the class attended Journalism Day at Fresno State College, sponsored jointly by Fresno State College and the San Joaquin Valley Journalism Teachers' Association. At the spring convention Beverly Dihel placed first in the trials for the best sports story, and Russell Leadabrand placed first for the best feature writing. The staff was composed of Beverly Dihel, editor-in-chief, Harry Balukian, associate editor, Doris Pannell, business manager, Wilda Smith, assistant business manager, Phyllis Griggs and Wilda Smith, society, personals, alumni, Lois Jane Pattee, girl's activities and music, Russell Leadabrand, Bev Dihel Doris Pannell Editor Business Manager features, Beverly Dihel, sports, Melvin Liebau, organizations, Fred Heathman, ex- changes, Mervin Paradine, shops, Oscar Ford, military, Bennie Odell, Haig Terzian, John Runjavac, Harold Kleinsasser, Clare Pattee, reporters, Mr. Freeman, advisor. The distribution of papers in town has kept the public in closer touch with the interests and affairs of the school, and as a result, has created a greater interest in it and its students. 4l N l .. f Y' 1 :X.,p:..'5.

Frances Hofer, speaking on Cordell Hull, placed fifth behind speakers from San Francisco and Modesto. Frances' talk was declared to some authorities to be the best of any presented. Jeanne Brewer, speaking on La Guardia, Jack Putnam, speaking on Carl Sandburgh, Nadine Shepherd, speaking on Ramsay MacDonald, and Hilda Thiesen, speaking on Chiang Kai Shek, completed the list of Dinuba entries. All five of the Dinuba speakers present- ed excellent talks, and are to be congratu- lated, as is their coach and teacher, Mr. Ulrici. FORENSICS The l937-38 debate squad of Dinuba High School enjoyed a successful as well as a strenuous season. The debate team early realized the benefits of an extensive schedule and, therefore, gained entrance into the Central California Public Speak- ing League. ln addition to participation in this league, the squad entered the county debate league and also into various inter- school debates. The team this year was composed of such capable debaters as Ralph Miller, Oscar Ford, David Unruh, and George Nishida. Other debaters who loaned sup- port to the forsenics were Jeanne Brewer, Nadine Shepherd, Lou Ellen Woolman and Faye Nesmith. Practically all of the squad are graduating seniors, so next year will necessitate an entirely new group. Here is a real opportunity for undergraduates. l.:'f 7L.QaQUffv W .x,,r PRINTING CLUB Despite the fact that the Printing Club has been organized only two years, it has taken tremendous strides in achieving im- portance.

The purpose of the club is to give stu- dents the opportunity of learning the fun- damentals of photography, and to develop and print their own pictures. Club meet- ings are held once a week for these pur- poses. Because of the enthusiasm of the stu- dents the club has accomplished some ex- cellent work, and it is expected that next year even greater advancements will be made.

The officers elected at the first meet- ing were: President, Rex Spaith, vice-presi- dent, Alfred Mackersie, secretary-treasurer, Virginia Lee Lewis, advisor, Mr. Freeman.

A Christmas party was held in the jour- nalism room on December Zl. Gifts were exchanged, and candy was given to those present. Members of the club presented a short program. Because of the long illness of Mr. Free- man, the club was without an advisor, but they carried on extremely well l HOME ECONOMICS This year ended one of the most success- ful years in the history of the Home Eco- nomfcs Club, The club is affiliated with both state and national organizations.

Advisers are Mr. Mason and Miss Kauf- I'T'1Gl'1. coMPANY E. lst. Regt. c.H.s.c. Under the leadership of the Commandant of Cadets, Lt. Howard Page, with the abi- lity of the officers, and the spirited cooper- ation of the cadets, it can be said that the cadets of the Dinuba Union High School had its most successful year during the past two semester. This year the cadet organization con- sisted of one company, consisting of two platoons of three squads each. Captain Muelhauser was commander of the Com- pany, First Lt. Clifford Unruh was com- mander of the first platoon, and the second platcon was commanded by Second Lt. Owen Corley. For the third consecutive year a cadet encampment was held at the National Guard Training Camp at San Luis Obispo. Twenty-four cadets from Dinuba attend- ing from April lO to April l6. Several different formations were held. The camp consisted of cadets from Bakersfield, Fres- no, Oroville, Porterville, Dinuba, and Head- quarters Company. Although Dinuba did not win the regimental colors, they made a very impressive showing and took second place. Major Shearer conducted the camp. The company participated in the Armi- stice Day parade. The annual Sunset Drill was held in May, which commandants and cadets from other schools attended, as well as many townspeople. This year the honor cadet officer award was presented to First Lt. Clifford Unruh. Wayne Leedy received the honor cadet award. R, .Mix 7,1 ug!

VJ LITTLE SYMPHONY Again the Little Symphony has proved true to its name. The main performance of this organization was the Artists' Concert, at which time it gave a splendid appearance. lt also provided the music for the Student Body play and other organizations. Some of the compo sitions studied t h i s year were: Misere l Ve rdi l, Phaon Uohnsoni , The Secret Marriage lCrIma- rosal, Beethoven Suite, A Festive Pro- cession lDemarstl, and The Messiah lHandell, Frances Borchardt was concert master for the year. DRILL TEAM A new organization, the Drill Team, was established this year by Mr. Hayden. The team, consisting of thirty members, was drilled in the fundamentals of marching, duelling, singing, and forming designs. Uniforms, carrying out the school colors, consisted of full green skirts, white mili- tary jackets, overseas caps and mega- phones. Their first important appeareance was in the Armistice Day Parade. Ably led by Drum Majoress Maxine Miller and assisted by Lenore Williams and Delores Stratton, the team got off to a fine start. Later their appearances at the games and pep rallies added much color and pep. The team was very successful this year, but due to the inability to find a suitable time to practice, the group may have to be disbanded next year. It is sincerely hoped that they will be able to overcome this difficulty, as the team adds a great deal of color to the school. . I :itil im 4 'bf will .

The choir consists of forty-three mem- bers, arrayed in vestments of white satin gowns. Some of the places where this outstand- ing group performed were: Masonic Lodge in Fresno, four radio programs, Presbyterlan convention, P. T. A. conventicn, and Artists' Concert, BAND The band has taken an important part at all football and basketball games and pep rallies. This organization, together with the Drill Team, formed over a half block of Dinuba colors in the Armistice Day parade. There are thirty-six members in the band, but due to the shortage of bass in- struments, the band is not so well-bal- anced as it should be. l CHORUS Two mixed choruses are held during the first and fifth periods. The membership of the first period is eighty, the fifth con- ssting of fifty-five. From these two groups the choir is chosen. Some of their studies were: Handel's Messiah,' Hear Me Father lPerryl, Who is Sylvia lSchubertl, I dream of Jeanie lFosterl, and Eastertide lProth- roei. ENTERTAINMENT CLUB The Entertainment Club has completed another busy year. This group has been called on so much, that music could not be worked up to meet the demand. The members are divided into two groups, active and inactive. To become an active member, the student must perform in public at least once. The purpose of the club is to offer all those students who are talented in cer- tain ways a chance to develop their talent and afford them the opportunity of per- forming before audiences, also to furnish entertainment for the various social ac- tivities in and about Dinuba. This club is an extra-curricular activity as it meets after school. FT 1-1-f l OPERETTA- HOLLYWOOD BOU N D Hollyowood Bound, presented by the Dinuba High School at the State Theater June 3, climaxed a season of successful dramatic productions. This operetta ran true to form, as far as Mr. Chester Hayden's musical efforts are concerned, as it was extremely colorful, very well organized, and altogether an outstanding success. The singing of cast and chorus, under the direction of Mr. Chester Hayden, was splendid. Mr. Harold Ulrici is to be com- mened highly for the excellent acting of the cast, the result of his able direction, The members of the cast, including the chorus, reached the mark of one hundred and fifty. This large body made the play even more interesting. They were well managed and kept something doing all the time. Maxine Miller and Bill Olinger held the love interest, taking the romantic leads. Dave Unruh held the dramatic lead. The characters were as follows: Windy Bryan .........,............,... Dave Unruh Mr. Norton ........,................... Tren Biswell Countess De Norka .......... Betty Jean Miner Agatha Wigglesworth- Margaret Zimmerman Eric Von Whoopanholler ............ J. T. Pickle Wun Hop ....... Hi De Do ..... Alys Adore ........ .... lra Loverin Sarkis Peloyan Faye Nesmith Marcia Norton ...,.., ..... M axine Miller Tim Malloy ..,... Willie .......... Bob Kent ............. Clyde Chambers Mike Buratovich Bob Utterback Bill Olinger Bill Dunn STUDENT BODY PLAY Howdy Stranger, a three-act comedy, was presented Friday night, March ll, l938. The play proved to be a hilarious farce and the plot fast-moving and excit- ing. The long hours of preparation by the cast and the coach were shown in the smoothness of the performance. This play was the first to be given by the student body since the year l933, and was definitely more than worthwhile. lt was an outstanding success both financially and dramatically. Every member of the cast is to be com- mended highly for his study and applica- tion which showed in his portrayal of the character. Harold Ulrici, through his thorough and excellent coaching, was mainly responsible for the success of the production. Because of his untiring efforts and keen interest, the student body produced a play that was a credit to the coach, cast, and Dinuba High. The cast was as follows: Ma Hardy, Alice Schleicher, Pa Hardy, Alfred Mackersie, Jeff Hardy, Roy Just, Jane Hardy, Pat Hamilton, Sam Thorne, Melvin Liebau, Elly Jordan, Bennie Odell, Mrs. Jordan, Edith Mae Perry, Mr. Jordan, Oscar Ford, Professor Lands, Thurston Womack, Miss Sempfe, Kathleen Burum, Roy Chadwick, Ralph Milfer, Pat Dunn, David Unruh, Chronicle Reporter, Russell Leadobrand, Star Reporter, Joe Akers, Beacon Reporter, Harry Ekezian, Ponthea Landis, Helen Gratz, Tex, Dewey Banks, the Gibson Girls, Helen Gratz, Faye Pipkin, Peggy Byers, Betty Wheat.

Led by four of last year'5 regulars, the varsity trimmed Visalia early in the season l3-O. They showed nothing spectacular when they beat the Woodlake team 13-O in the f,rst league game here. The Emperors journeyed to Corcoran to be held to a 6-6 tie. Dinuba's home game with the Corcoran Panthers, the Panthers were sent home on the extremely short end of a 20-O score. The team in the next game met with little success, losing I3-6 to Orosi. ln the return game with Woodlake the Emperors ran wild, beating Woodlake Zl -6 on their turf. Then came the annual Armistice Day game, when before a crowd of ISOO Dinuba won the league championship by defeating Orosi 26-O. lt was in the latter part of this game that Byron Lighty, left end, broke his leg. Captain Mackersie, C. Downing, B. Odell and J. Bridges were recognized as members of the all-county team. The entire squad was presented with gold footballs by Coach Williams. Clifford Downing was awarded the trophy for being the most valuable man. E- - l XX Kun, + .- The schedule: Dinuba l3-Woodlake at Dinuba ...,Y.

This year's Emperor varsity was one of the hardest fighting teams that Dinuba Hi has ever possessed. Altho, the teams, that the Emperors it played, outweighed the local eleven, Coach Williams' men made up for their lacking weight, with an excessive amount of fight and spirit. From this championship team, will re- turn only l2 of the 26 men on this year's squad, for positions on next year's team. Chang, Bridges, Galloway, W. Downing, Smith, anad Cochran will form the nucleus of the varsity team next season. These men, and others who will move up from the lightweights will certainly do their part in keeping the county title in the trophy case of the Dinuba Emperor. 14A. - 4 l l r Slandng'-Coach Chaplin, Wyllie, Freeman, Lighty, Maxwell, Tout, Biswell, Oliver, Alvarez.

Takayama, Pattee, Lightweight Football Under the capable guidance of their new coach, Ralph Chaplin, the l937-38 lightweight football team showed the fighting spirit that lies in the hearts of all winners. Al- though they did not capture the pennant this year, they proved their formidabfe playing by winning half of the six games played. At the first league tilt of the season, October l5, the Little Emps journeyed to Corcoran where they handed the Corcoran ,-1-- s.. s- N l squad a 19 to 6 defeat. On October 22 tle seccnd game was played with our tra- diticnal enemies, the Orosi Cardfnals. The Dnubans went down hard tor their first defeat cf 7 to O. ln the return game with Corcoran, the tide turncd from thc previous game and the Emperors went down for their second defeat of I3 to 6 on the local turf. in the annual Armistice 3 Day classic, the Little Em- perors again were defeated bf the strong Orosi team cn the local gridiron, The final score was I2 to O. Captain Donald Schwab, quarterback, was awarded the Student Body trophy for the most valuable man on the team. Lettermen were: Schwab, Maxwell, G. Takayama, F. Takayama, Freeman, Spaith, Zeroonian, Alvarez, Shan, Young Pattee, Herrera, C. Lighty, Barnes, Tout, Bis- well Oliver, Wyllie, Elake,, -and Mikasa. l LIGHTWEIGHT BASKETBALL A fast-moving, hard-fighting Emperor lightweight team pulled up at the end of the season, winning half of the scheduled league games. Coached excellently by Coach Chaplin, the baby Emperors bowed undaunted to several opposing teams, but played a hard and clean game till the final gun. The little Emps went down hard to lose a decisive game from the Visalia team in the opener of the season. At Tulare on January 7 the baby Emps lost their second game by a margin of one point. ln the next three weeks, the Dinubans bore down on the opponents and won three in succession. They were Porterville, De- lano, and Hanford respectively. With the return game with Visalia on the latter's court, the lightweights gave a surprise performance to outplay the strong Visalia quintet up until the final minutes of the game. Charles Fincher, lightweight sparkplug, was removed from the game in the last quarter because of personal fouls. This weakened the team to'a great extent. Visalia won by a margin of one point. Dinuba lost the next two games to Tu- lare on the local court, and to Porterville, also on the home court. The youngsters came back with a great surge of strength in the final two games of the series to win both by decisive margins. The first was at Delano, and the last here with Hanford. Charles Fincher, captain of the squad, received the individual award for the most valuable man on the team. The team was composed of: Charles Fincher, Earl Maxwell, Clare Pattee, George Nishida, Lupe Delgado, John Alvarez, George Fukushima, Stanley Nagata, Walter Kay Kee, Peter Klepin- stein, David Shon, James Blake, Louis Saguchi, and Tren Biswell. All were award- ed letters. The sechedule was as follows: December l7-Visalia at Dinuba. January 7-Dinuba l5 at Tulare l6. January I4-Porterville 4 at Dinuba l4. January Zl-Delano 20 at Dinuba 30.

March -4--Hanford at Dinuba. s HEAVYWEIGHT BASKETBALL With the county championship for a goal, twenty fighting varsity men turned out November 22 for the opening practice of the season. With every position open on the team at the start of the season, every man on the squad was battling for a place among the opening five. Though there was not a recognized first string of five players, there were seven first string players. These players alternating in the five positions were: Clifford Downing, James Fincher, Enick Delgado, John Runjavac, Leroy Kliew- er, Bennie Odell, and Dick Dotson. Striving for league honors, the alert Emperors were nosed out of the two decid- ing games with Visalia and Porterville by a margin of one point and two points re- spectively. In the opening game with Visalia, the contest was nip and tuck throughout. Coach Polly Wilhelmson's varsity five were on their toes throughout, as were our local five, coached by Jack Williams. ln the first half neither team was more than four points ahead of one another at any time. However, the Dinuba quintet led the visitors by two points at the end of the half. Both teams ping-ponged back and forth, one 'making a score and then the other. At the final gun, the score was tied, making the teams play an overtime period. In the overtime period, the Emperors led by one point near the end of the three minute playing time. With the gun about to be fired, Swanson, right guard of Visalia shot a long one from the center of the court. The gun went off while the ball was in the air. The ball went through the basket, winning the game for the visitors by a margin of one point. l mwpunrw.. .H i i 'a This game, the first of the season, was also the most exciting one of the year. Dinuba, journeying to Tulare for the second league tilt of the season, handed the Redskins an easy 22-l l defeat. The Emp- erors, detremined to push on and hope for a chance for a crack at the championship, refused to give up hope at any time. Dinuba was handed their second defeat on the local floor on January l4, when they met the strong Porterville team. The game was just as exciting as the Visalia game except for the story-book ending of the Visalia game. The game was tit-and-pat again, with first Dinuba scoring and then Porterville. Again an overtime period was required, and to the worst luck, Porterville scored two points just before the end of the period. On January Zl the varsity traveled to Delano, where they handed the Delano Tigers a 3l-l3 beating. The local boys had little trouble in getting an early lead and holding it throughout the game. Dinuba defeated the Hanford Bullpups in a rough and tumble game on the later's floor on January 28. Several players on both sides were expelled from the floor because of too many personal fouls. In the return game of the Visalia-Dinuba clash, the Emperors sought revenge from the Pioneers by winning o 22-I4 victory. The first of the game was pretty close, but with the beginning of the second half the Dinuba quintet stepped out ahead, and held a good lead for the remainder of the game. This was a stricking contrast of the previous Viaslia-Dinuba game. With an apparent let-down after the Visalia victory, the Emperors had a diffi- cult time winning the return game with Tulare on the local floor. When the final gun sounded, the Dinuba boys led, however, l7-l l. The Emperors again lost a hard game to the Porterville five when playing on the latter's floor. This left Dinuba without a chance of winning the championship. The remaining two games with Delano and Hanford respectively, were easy vic- tories for the local boys. Although Dinuba did not win the pen- nant, she tied with Visalia for second place honors. Clifford Downing and Enick Delgado were honored by being placed on the mythical All County team. Clifford Downing, winner of several in- dividual awards, was presented with the individual trophy for the most valuable man on the team. This was given on the principle of his natural ability, his effort, the way he trained, his ability to hold a team together and his good sportmanship. Letters were awarded by coach Williams to: C. Downing, Delgado, Kliewer, Fincher, Runjavac, Odell, Dotson, McMullen, Gen- ian, Ekezian, Mortanian, Borthwick, W. Downing, Chong, Naylor and Cochran. Sweaters were awarded to Clifford Down- ing, Bennie Odell and Enick Delgado. .. K it 5 -?.its5.k.s .f X ,, ' Q an 3i,?ss.,5s.,s. 3 , . K ,A dm - 1 l BASEBALL Under the expert guidance of Coach Ralph Chaplin, the Dinuba Emperor base- ball n'ne whipped quickly into shape this spring, and prepared to hand their six league opponents stiff competition. Starting an intensely interesting season the Emperor team bowled over the Orosi Cardinals in the first game of the season, and escaped with a 7-5 triumph. Victory came again when, after a su- perbly pitched game by Kirby Kennelly, the Emperor squad trounced the Tulare Red- skins 5-O, The next game, however, played -..-- on the local diamond, was lost to the Delano nine by the score of IO-2. Visalia went down in the next league game before an onslaught of Emperor players. The final score was 9-4. Exeter, too, bowed before the Emerald and White tide, and suf- fered a 6-l defeat at the Emperors' hands at the last game of the sea- i son. A'l in all, the Emperor baseball team en- ioyed a good season, and even though they came up against some tough competition, they managed to pull through on top with a splendid showing of true Dinuba High sportsmanship. The following men received letters: R. Miller, R. Spaith, E. Delgado, John Runjavac, N. Zaninovich, C. Downing, B. Mas., R. Cochran, J. l-lagop'an, D. Dotson, L. Delgadc-, K. Kennelly, H. Madison, V. Wyllie, W. Downing, R. Guthrie, T, Alvarez, P. Esparza, John Alvarez, B. Dihel. TRACK Members to receive letters for track were: T. Alvarez, T. Biswell, B. Cochran, E. Delgado, C. Downing, D. Dotson, P. Es- parza, V. Franzen, L. Kliewer, L. Delgado, C. Freeman, H. Kleinsasser, M. Rhodes, L. Sakaguchi, E, Willems, W. Kor, G. Fuku- shima, and G. Takayama. Meeting with tough opposition in all their meets, Coach Jack Williams' track team managed to bring home their share of the points in every event entered. With approximately Z0 regular stars, Dinuba journeyed to all the contests and showed, with flying colors, just what hard fighting Emperor cindermen could do. Leroy Kliewer, Dinuba's high-jump sen- sation, made a name for himself by his incredible jumps over the stick, up in the region of six foot, and more. Leroy brought home the coveted first place in high-jump from the West Coast Relays, as a result of his spectacular six feet and a quarter leap. Enick Delgado always was away ahead in the long distance running, an event in which Robert Cochran, Clifford Downing and Tony Alvarez also showed excellent form. Other hard-working, Emperor tracksters that placed regularly and with fine records are: Lewis Sakaguchi, who ran away with C class broad jump honors, Charles Freeman, who in B class broad jump took many first and second placings, Tom Young, pole vault star, Vernon Franzen, proficient in pole vault and high-jumping, Dick Dotson, shot put and football throw expert, Philip Esparza, broad jump, Harold Kleinsasser, high jump, Lupe Delgado, runner, Tren Biswell, football heaver, Ed Willems, sprinterj Hideo Mikasa, shot put, William Kor, hurdle, Frank Takayama and George Fukushima, sprinters. TENNIS More interest than usual was shown in tennis this year, due, perhaps, to the addi- tion of two new courts, making four first class courts available for practice. Coached by Mr. Mason and Mr. Ulrici, candidates for places on the team were drilled in fundamentals, and prepared for competition. The team made a good showing through- out the season, winning several matches, although they failed to place in the semi- final playoff at Porterville, so were elimi- nated from any championship. Matches were played during the season with Visalia, Orosi, Strathmore, Porterville, Corcoran, Hanford, Lindsay, and Exeter. Members of the team were: Boys' singles, Matthew Chung, boys' doubles, Edwin Stevens, Joe Shiflet, girls' sfngles, Queenie Hagopian, mixed doubles, Florence Kim, John Chang. Substitutes were Carolyn Cadwell, Don McCullon, and Lucille Furman. Next year's team should be in line for championship honors, as most of the team will be here another year. With this ex- perience gained in competitive play this year, plus next year's instruction and prac- tice play, Dinuba should be able to build a team equal to any in the county. No assignment of coaches has been made as yet for next year, but very likely Mr. Mason and Mr. Ulrici will have charge again. bi Ku 3+ +135 K wg, Q l 'IN' ,,,.........,u' e.x..X Uk W 'WTBQII gonqqd Coach Jenny Be illl , Pfg1Q Q Oowmnq Tl xc-5 0 P' NA .f Q .1 nf pr- alzfce 9 Hit ss Girls' League Sports GIRLS' TUMBLING On Friday, November l9, the Girls' League gave their circus, an affair long planned and talked about by the girls of the school.

Dorothy Smith, a junior, was voted the best tumbler and she received an enlarged picture of the tumbling team in costume. The proceeds of this affair went to cover the Girls' League expenses of the year, the athletic awards, girls' party and a gift to the school. Only through the hard work and good spirit of Coach Cadwell was this event such G Ql'eG'l' SUCCESS. GIRLS' BASKETBALL This year's basketball season has been an outstanding and successful one because the girls have so enthusiastically supported their teams. lf you had walked into the girls' gym during the month of February you would have heard great joy and laugh- ter there because of some past or coming game.

The twelve best players, with a few sub- stitutes, are chosen from the entire school, and this team is the best girls' basketball team in the school. The captain of the U.
