We have endeavored to include as many snaps of the students as possible, always keeping in mind the fact that pictures not only make the book, but make it more interesting. lt is our sincere hope that when you open the covers of this book in years to come, that only familiar and pleasant memories will be reflected from its pages. May your 1940 Delphic Echoes become a treasured posses- sion. We wish to thank our adviser, Mr. Freeman, the staff members, and everyone else who has contributed to the construction of this annual, for their splendid cooperation. i i DEDICATION l94O marks the fourteenth year that Edith Jane Hawkins has been teaching in the Dinuba Union High School. During this period she has been friend, counsellor, and guide to hundreds of students who have passed through our doors. Many a time when a student was worried by financial or family troubles, Mrs. Hawkins came generously and unobtrusively to his aid, enabling him to stay in school and retain his self-respect. This was done in human sym- pathy and kindness, not in a desire for glory. For the past ten years Mrs. Hawkins has been head adviser, in charge of graduation ceremonies, inspiring the theme, and stimulating the speakers to good speech, at all times standing for lofty ideals and clean scholarship. With sincere pleasure, therefore, we dedicate the l94O Delphic Echoes to Edith Jane Hawkins, THE EDITOR l l ADMIN ISTRATICN .-f '. 'T' ,..M-.4-can W4 GREETINGS FROM THE PRINCIPAL -WS .ww Certain things stand out as being very important in high school, such as good scholarship, interest in your subjects, determination tor self-im- provement, sound character traits, democratic ideals in citizenship, good health, preparation for your Iite's work, the spirit of leadership for service and cooperation, the love of God and country, and many other worthwhile things. All ot these goals have been the ideals throughout the high school lite of Dinuba, and the senior class this year has led in these things by setting a splendid example for all the other classes to follow. l therefore want to thank the class of l94O for all they have done, and wish each one a very successful lite of influencing others for good wher- ever they may be or whatever they may do, as they have done this year in good old Dinuba High.

There are national, state, regional, and local officers of this club. The purpose of the F.F.A. is to develop rural leadership and an in- terest in farming vocations. The local chapter has been quite active this year. In the fall, the boys attended the Fresno County Fair in order to view the agricul- Y r tural and livestock exhibits. The last part of the year was devoted to home projects. ln April, the club mem- bers, with their adviser, Mr. Edgerly, visited the project of each boy.

At this dinner they had German food and could only speak in German. give those who are interested in express- ing themselves 'in speech and in the prac- tical side of debating, opportunity to do so. Regular meetings were held every Monday during activities period in Mr. Eddie's room. The meetings were devoted to business, roundtable discussions, and debates. Officers were: president, Betty Jean Hellbaum, vice president, Arthur Anderson, secretary - treasurer, Phy- lis Sill, debate manager, Tren Biswell, Jr. FORENSICS CLUB 53 S A CAPPELLA CHOIR This year has definitely been a most suc- cessful year for the A Cappella Choir. lts two honorable invitations to the Music Ed- ucators' Regional Conference in Los An- geles, March 31 to April 2, supplied out- standing activities that will linger with the students through life. Although these con- ferences were not of competetive nature the Dinuba Choir received many generous and favorable comments upon every aspect of their performances. The choir devoted much time to practice during activity periods, Wednesday even- ings before concerts, and section rehearsals during the latter, half of noon hours. Officers were elected and appointed as follows: Edith Riggs, president, Louise Crawford, general manager, chairman of sections, librarians, gown girls, and riser boys were appointed respectively. Several places at which the choir per- formed, other than the conferences, were at the Scottish Rites in Fresno, Eastern Star district meeting in Dinuba, High School Ar- tists' Concert, Education Week Program, and a Vesper Service in Dinuba. These 56 l cc-ncerts compcsed a busy season for the choir and particularly for the director. Songs sung at these places included those such as The Lord's Prayer, Nunc Dimit- tes, Were You There?, Hear My Pray- er, Marjorie, and 'Donkey Serenade. This year the choir completed its sixth year and has steadily progressed until it has reached a rather high peak of attainment. The opportunity to perform at the Music Educators' Conferences proves this and shows that the choir must be on the right track. Such results are only possible with the complete cooperation of students, parents, school, administration, and com- munity. Only the students who take an active part are fully aware of the hard work necessary to maintain a superior standard, however, it is a known fact that the people who put forth the most effort will live the richer lives. ln l939 and l94O the choir has been an extracurricular activity, and the students should be given much praise for their will- ingness to work so hard in their spare time.

This is the first year that Mr. Price has directed the band, and he has won the admiration and friendship of all who have worked under him. The first appearance made by the Di- nuba High School band was at the annual bonfire rally held in October. Although the group had had little practice it received favorable comment. The band performed at all the football games here, and at the last game with Orosi put on several difficult formations, the most spectacular being a D formed the full length of the field, which at a given signal changed to an O to honor Orosi. The organization took part in the Armi- stice Day parade at Dinuba, the Orange Blossom Festival at Lindsay, the Band Jam- boree in Kingsburg, and a huge night pa- rade in Fresno. The band also played sev- eral marches and concert numbers at the Pubilc Schools' Week program in our high 58 school auditorium. On May IZ, the band played for an A. F. of L. picnic at Mooney's Grove. Much color and enthusiasm was added to the basketball games by the various exhibitions of the band. The unit assisted the cadets in a formal Retreat Parade, and in the annual Sunset Drill. Although the band had not played at the Sunset Drill for a long time, it help- ed to make the program a more colorful one. Perhaps the unit will make this an annual appearance. The band this year consisted of about 42 pieces. The drum major, Betty Howell, the maiorettes, Mary Jean and Anita Perry, Louise Crawford and Peggy Roach, and the thirteen baton twirlers increased the size of the marching unit to about sixty pieces. The thirteen baton twirlers were under the direction of Evelyn Little. This group made the unit look larger and added color. The bond worked only on new pieces this year. God Bless America and On the Mall were the two best known. The l939-40 Entertainment Club, under the direction of Mr. Hayden, has been so popular that enough music could not be mastered to meet the demand. This group has supplied entertainment for fifty to sev- enty-five programs this year. The purpose of the club is to offer all those students who are talented in certain ways a chance to devenope their talent and afford them the opportunity of performing before audiences, also to furnish entertain- ment for the various social activities in and about Dinuba. The Entertainment Club is divided into two groups, active and inactive members. To be an active member a student must per- form in public at least once. The club is an extra-curricular activity of the school and no credit is given for it ex- cept for the enjoyment and privilege of per- forming. ENTERTAINMENT CLUB Membership is not limited to the music department only, as anyone who is gifted in any way has an invitation to join, Several of the talented members of the Entertainment Club are Lulu Mae Kliewer, Bernice Entz, Grace Hofer, Edna Thiesen, Eva Gunther, and Marjorie Dick, of the double trio, Roy Just, Vernon Dick, Al Thiesen, and Marvin Nickel, boys' quartet Lulu Mae Kliewer and Al Thiesen, soloists, Rosalie Hagopian, dancer, Jeanette Brians, pianist, Dick and Deron Hagopian, trom- bone and cornet, respectively, and Joan Dial, cornet. Some of the places that the club furnish- ed entertainment for were school assemblies and programs, Artists' Concert, Armistice Day, National Music Educators' Confer- ence, and the California School Band, Or- chestra and Chorus Festival. 59 W W 60 DRA ATICS JUNIOR CLASS PLAY- LENA RlVERS Lena Rivers, a three-act comedy, was presented by the junior class, Friday eve- ning, December lO in the high school audi- torium. Under the able direction of Mr, Eddie, the capable business management, and a well-chosen cast, the play was a great suc- cess. The romantic leads were portrayed by Beatrice Fincher and Bob Mathis, the char- acter leads by Dorris Kline and Nomie Gas- saway. The cast consisted of: Lena Rivers ......,.. ..,.. B eatrice Fincher Granny Nichols ....... ........ D oris Kline John Livingstone ..... ,....... A rt Anderson Mrs. Livingstone ....,...,..... Nomie Gassaway Caroline Livingstone .s............

W esley Jackson The story of the play deals with the plight of young Lena Rivers, and her be- loved grandmother, who are compelled to leave their New England home and take refuge in her son John's southern mansion. Because of the social aspirations of his dominating wife, Matilda, John has chang- ed the family name of Nichols to Living- stone. Lena and her grandmother are given the cold shoulder by Matilda and Caroline, but Anna and Junior make up for their mother's and sister's aloofness by warm-hearted friendliness. SENIOR CLASS PLAY- BIG HEARTED HERBERT The senior class gave a flawless display of their dramatic ability in the class play, Big Hearted Herbert, presented on the evening of March 8 in the high school auditorium. For their time and effort, Director Don Eddie and cast were awarded a large and satisfied audience. The cast was as follows: Big Hearted Herbert ...........,.... Jack Young Elizabeth Kalness .. ...,. Helene Gratz Alice Kalness ..,........,. .,.. D orothy Vetter Andrew Goodrich .,...... Buster Biswell Mr. Goodrich ,...... ...... R andolph Dickson Mrs. Goodrich ...... .......

Margaret Lane Big Hearted Herbert deals with the struggles of one man's family to make him give up his plain ways, for Herbert is a plain man. His favorite story is the tale of how he slaved when he was a boy, and how he got to the top by sheer work and grit. How his family finally accomplished their end, after many trials and tribula- tions, furnished a lot of hilarious enter- tainment to the audience. Mr. Ralph Chaplin was in charge of the business management. ...mg Q . 63 THE FIRST NOEL This year the music department present- ed for the first time, the life of Christ in complete story form. The production was presented in two parts, with the First Noel presented at Christmas, portraying the life of Christ in the following order: Candle light service, shepherds and angels, three wise men, Herod's soldiers and the shepherds, and the Nativity. On Friday evening, December 22, The First Noel was presented to a capacity audience. More than one hundred and eighty peo- ple took part in the productioin. The cast EASTERTI D E The music department presented for the second part of the life of Christ, Easter- tide, depicting the following scenes: The Last Supper, Christ in Gethsemane, Trial Before Pilate, The Crucifixion, and The Resurrection. The cast was as follows: Carl Genian, Christ, Betty Howell, Mary, 64 l consisted of: Eloise Sill lmember of Community Chorusl , reader, Charles Freeman, Jr., Saradan, Glenwood Bailey, Judah, Joe Pan- tenburg, Obed and Wise Man, Betty Hell- baum, Elizabeth, Dennis Candray, Child, Betty Howell, Angel and Mary, Lansing Cronkhite, Marvin Thiessen, Louis Hoff- meister, Shepherds and Wise Men, Billy Little, Louis Barrows, Jack Russell, Soldiers, Elsie Spomer, Dorothy Vetter, Ruby West- moreland, Angels. Special scenery and lighting effects were carefully arranged, so as to make the pag- eant more colorful and effective, Charles Freeman, Jr., Pilate, Maiel Chase, Betty Jean Hellbaum, readers. lt is the desire of the director, Mr. Hay- den, that the production of The First Noel and Eastertide will become an- nual pageants in Dinuba, and that with the help of the school and community, will grow to be more glorious and worthwhile each year. MILITARY l 1 l STAFF The staff this year consisted of a very efficient group of officers and will suffer from the loss of many of them by graduat- ion. The officers, with expert leadership and cooperation of their commandant, Cap- tain Page, succeed in training the cadets of Dinuba so well that they are without doubt one of the best cadet units in Calif- ornia. Officers composing the staff were: Corn- manding officer of the second battalion, Major Forrest Barnes, Captains Jack Coch- ran and Stanley Linzmeier, lst Lieutenants Earl Maxwell, Thomas Milligan, and Don- ald Shore, 2nd Lieutenants Johnnie Linz- meier and Philip Wright, Staff Sergeant Charles Lighty. Those graduating this year will be Major Barnes, Captains Cochran and Linzmeier, Lieutenants Maxwell and Linzrneier, and Sergeant Lighty. 66 RIFLE CLUB The Rifle Club was quite active this year as it helped to put on the third annual Military Ball, and also made two or three trips to the mountains where the entire club enjoyed tobogganing and skiing. The club purchased two medals which were given to the cadets who received the highest score on the small bore range and also o nthe large bore range. The membership of the club has greatly increased this year, due to the qualifica- tion in marksmanship. Badges were award- ed to every cadet in both companieis, thus giving Dinuba a perfect record of qualifica- tion. l The Dinuba Cadet Corps was greatly changed this year from that of last year, due to the fact that new military forma- tions and drills were initated. This new type of drill proved to be much wore pract- ical than the old type. Last year there was another company added to the unit at Dinuba Hi. This com- pany was Company H and it has proven it- self a very efficient company. A full company of cadets was picked from both cadet companies and on March l7 they left for San Luis Obispo where the annual cadet encampment was held. This picked company was under command of Captain Jack Cochran and Lieutenants Earl Maxwell and Phillip Wright. This company was also picked from seven other companies to be the most efficient cadet company in the State of California and was awarded the colors at the training camp. This is the highest and most honored award that can be made to an individual cadet unit. COMPANY E Company E was the base cadet unit of Dinuba. lt has won many high honors and was reccommended by Major Shearer as a most efficient company. This company was commanded by Cap- tain Jack Cochran, lst Lieutenant Thomas Milligan, and 2nd Lieutenant Johnnie Linz- meir. It is very probable that many of next years officers will be chosen from company E. 67 COMPANY H Q This company was added to the Dinuba cadet unit in i938 andhas since then offer- ed much competition to Company E. As most of the enlisted men in Company H were first year men this year, it was not quite as an efficient company as Company E. This company was commanded by Cap- tain Stanley Linzmeier, lst Lieutenant Earl Maxwell and Znd Lieutenant Phillip Wright. Like Company E, Company H has many men ready for promotion. ' SUNSET DRILL The cadets' annual Sunset Drill was held the latter week of May before an out- standing audience of townspeople. The drill consisted of company drill, plattoon drill, extended order, battalion inspection, knockdown drill, and finally the battalion retreat parade. Officers from Fresno, Bakersfield, Por- terville, and Dinuba acted as judges throughtout the program. The cadets were checked on appearence, efficiency, march- ing ability, and military courtesy. Various talks were given by members of the Alta Post Amerian Legion, compliment- ing the cadets on their splended ability and appearance. The American Legion also presented three medals to the cadets win- ning the knockdown drill. These medals were gold for first, silver for second, and bronze for third. Every cadet put forth his greatest effort to win one of these medals. Captain Page awarded the gold trophy tc- the best company. He also presented crossed rifles to the winning squad of the squad competition. These crossed rifles are to be worn on the left sleeve of the cadet uniform. 68 lv ,IA nl' J 1 A 1 7.45 Fld ' 69 KTHLETICS 4M,,,....-1 t'T Q COACH J. V.

HEAVYWEIGHT FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS The Dinuba High School Emperors came home with the championship cup this year. They won every game and were scored on only once, piling up a total of 87 points, compared to their opponents' 7. One of the factors in being able to win was that the coaching staff was strengthened by the addition of Coach Maginnis. On October 6 the first league game was played with Woodlake. The Emperors showed great line play with lots of fight and power, and won l6-O. One of the hardest games of the season was the second league game at Corcoran on October l3. The Emperors fought a hard and clean battle and won l6-7- This was the only time the Emperors were scored on during the season. The third game was played on October 20 with our old rival, Orosi. Lots of pass- 'ing and power were displayed, making it possible for us to score IO points to Orosi's none. On Friday, October 27, the Emperors 74 played their return game with Corcoran on cur field, winning 6 to O. On November 3 the Emperors played a return game with Woodlake on the latter's field, winning easily 25 to O. The Emperors wound up the season on November lO by playing the traditional game with Orosi. Defeating the Cardinals l3-O, completed the championship season. Graduating seniors on the team were Captain Earl Maxwell, Wayne Downing, Jerome Bridges, Billie Little, Charles Lighty, Vaughn Avedigian, Leonard Smith, John Alvarez, Forrest Barnes, Charles Freeman Jr., Tren Biswell, Stanley and Johnny Linz- meier. Wayne Downing received the trophy as most valuable player. Bob Mathis was elected next year's captain. The entire squad received letters and gold footballs. Captain Earl Maxwell won all-county quarterback. Wayne Downing all-county end, Jerome Bridges all-county tackle, and Keith Spaith all-county fullback. An unusually large turnout of 32 men responded to Coach Maginnis' call for light- weight players. Of these only Donald Shore, William Kor, Grant Balentine, and David Shon had the benefit of one or more years of experience. These four proved to be the nucleus around which Coach Ma- ginnis built his team. Although the Baby Emps had a very un- successful season, it was no fault of theirs, but simply lack of experience. Playing host to a group of aggressive and experienced football players, October 6 in the season opener, Dinuba High's Baby Emps came out on the small end of a i3 to O score, with the Woodlake Cubs. October l3, the lightweight squad went down in defeat before the Corcoran boys to the tune of 24-6. Although the Babes made some brilliant plays, they lost to the Orosi Cardinals, 12- O, October 20. The return game with Corcoran proved to be best one of the season, with the Baby Emps holding their opponents to a 7-7 tie. Only two conversions kept the light- ers is . 3 A ... . . A LIGHTWEIGHT FOOTBALL weights from tying the Woodlake Cubs, November 3. The Cubs won by a 14-I2 score. Even though the Babes lots their game to Orosi, they played their most outstand- ing defensive football. The score was 6-O. The squad loses only one man by grad- uation--William Kor, However, a few of this year's lightweight football players may be found in next year's varsity lineup. Neverless, the i940 season should be a good one for the Baby Emps after the valu- able experience they've gained this year. Gene Belcher, received the trophy award- ed the most valuable man on the team. Lettermen were: William Kor, Donald Shore, Grant Balentine, Joe Abe, Manuel Soleno, David Shon, Gene Belcher, Joe Kobayashi, Bob Hunnicutt, Donald Hurley, Paul Tatarian, George Kim, Jack Russell, Nelson Gray, Harold Kline, Melvin Walls, Jim Watanabe, Ernie Kim, George Bevans, James Eagan, Henry Ford, Wesley Jackson, Basil Fishback, Charles Cochran, Dick Terasaki, Phillip Wright, Eldon McMullen, Nori Ogata, and Bud Crawford. 75 VARSITY BASKETBALL The Dinuba High varsity basketball squad displayed some fancy ball handling, under the tutoring of Coach Jack Williams and ended the l94O season by taking fourth place in the Tulare-Kings county league. Fourteen boys answered Coach Williams' call for basketball players, which was issued November I4. Wayne Downing, a senior, was elected captain of the squad at the ending of the 1940 season. He also received the most valuable player award. Donald Oliver was elected captain for the l94l season Coach Williams recommended all of the players for letters, because of their strenu- ous training for the games. Those receiving letters were: Wayne Downing, Donald Oliver, Homer Kliewer, Earl Maxwell, Keith Spaith, John Hofer, 76 David Shan, John Alvarez, Ed Guse, Ken- neth Beaudette, Herbert Shinn, Vernon Franzen, Jesse Brewton, and Royce Mielke.

Answering Coach Chaplin's call for light- weight basketball players were veterans Lupe Delgado, Stanley Nagata, Joe Kobay- ashi, Nori Ogata, Nelson Gray, Kenneth Nishida, and an ambitious group of fresh- men. After several practice games the Baby Emps journeyed to Hanford, January 5, for the league opener. They defeated the Ter- riers 24 to l6. The following week Tulare was to be their victim, but the Emps came out of the game on the short end of a l4 to 9 score. On January l9 came the first game on the home court with the boys from Porter- ville. Although the babes were slow in get- ting started, they finally defeated the Por- terville quintet by a score of l4 to l2. With two victories and one defeat to their credit, On to Delano became the babes' cry. However, the strong Delano team handed the Emps their second defeat, 23 to lO. February 2 the boys from Hanford edged the Dinubans out l7 to l4. February 9 and lO were schedu'ed for two of the toughest teams in the league- - LIGHWEIGHT BASKETBALL Visalia and Porterville. The Visalia game proved to be one of the best of the entire season, with the Babes scoring a classy vic- tory over the Voodoos. However, the en- counter with the Porterville Cubs was not as successful for the Dinuba lightweights. After one of the most exciting games of the year, Dinuba lost in an overtime period by one point to Tulare. The local boys lost to Visalia in the re- turn engagement, The closing game of the season was with the Delano champions. After a three-min- ute overtime period, the game ended in favor of the Tigers, 33 to 3l. Throughout the season captains were ap- pointed for each game. At the end of the season Kenny Nishida was elected honor- ary captain. Joe Kobayashi was voted the most valu- able man on the team. Those who received letters for the l94O season were: Lupe Delgado, Kenny Nishida, George Kim, Jim Watanabe, Stanley Na- gata, Daniel Masick, Basil Martin, Bud Crawford, Nori Ogata, Joe Kobayashi, Nel- son Gray, and Douglas Young. 77 BASEBALL As baseball season rolled around, Coach Eddie found twenty-five eager athletes ready to begin baseball training. Some of the men were veterans of last year's squad, and others were rookies who hoped to make this year's team. After much deliberation the Emperors decided to join a bigger league. However, this proved to be the Emperors' downfall, mainly because the Dinuba nine lost last year's two starting pitchers, who were counted on heavily for this season. With the inspiration of a new baseball diamond and backstop, the Dinuba men set about to avenge last year's baseball record, In the first league encounter the Emps fell at the hands of the Hanford Bullpups, ll-5, creating an imaginary jinx that fol- lowed the Emperors the remainder of the season. Dinuba next dropped a game to Delano, 9-O. Even though the Emps played good ball, they were overpowered by a much 78 superior team. The following week the Dinuba nine traveled to Porterville for the third league tilt, and lost the game. On Visalia's diamond, the Dinuba team again met defeat by a score of l l to 7. Next, the Emps played sterling ball against Hanford for seven innings, but the local team seemed to tire under the strain of keeping the Bullpups down, and the Em- perors finally fell to the tune of l4 to 2. The last game of the season was played here with Tulare. Although it was a hard fought game for the local boys, they finish- ed on the short end of a 5 to l score. The team loses six men by graduation- Maxwell, Downing, Alvarez, Biswell, Del- gado, and Nagata. Although these boys will be missed, their positions on the team will be ably filled, Lettermen were: Abe, Alvarez, Biswell, Brewton, Crawford, Delgado, Downing, Franzen, Gray, Hurley, lmai, Massick, Max- well, Milligan, Nagata, Oliver, G. Parker, M. Parker, Spaith, Terasaki, and Webb. This year's track season opened with a tri-meet at Dinuba between Orosi, Wood- lake and Dinuba, in which Dinuba took all three classes. This they were able to do be- cause of the large turnout that responded to Coach Maginnis' repeated call for track men. This is the first time that a track meet has ever been held at Dinuba. Because of poor track conditions, meets were never scheduled here. The second meet of the year was held at Tulare, with about six schools competing. Dinuba's team came out third in the meet, which was better than they had done in previous years. The next meet was held in Exeter, which was made up mostly of relays. Dinuba's C and B class relay teams were outstanding in this meet, running right up with the lead- ers. The Orange Blossom track meet at Lind- say was the next big one for Dinuba. As a whole Dinuba's team didn't do so well, but a few individuals showed up exception- ally well, taking first and second place rib- bons in many events, TRACK Dinuba didn't show up so very well at the bi-county meet, being put into the large schools division this year. Running against stiff competition, Dinuba came out fifth in the meet, with Rhodes the only man placing high enough to enter the all-county meet at Porterville. The outstanding track men this year were, from the C class: Kor, hurdles, relay, Abe, hurdles, relay, Eagan, broad jump, re- lay, Cochran, high jump, relay, Kim, shot put, J. Dick, high jump, Hofer, shot put, George, broad jump, Kleinsasser, pole vault. From the B class were: Watanabe, lOO yard dash, relay, Nashida, high jump, relay, Yamamoto, lOO yard dash, relay, Kobay- ashi, pole vault, relay, high jump, Russel, shot put, V. Dick, broad jump, Rhodes, high jump, pole vault, Shon, high jump, Wright, high jump, Ekizian, half mile, Har- per, high jump, Tatarian, shot put, Shigo, hurdles. Those from the A class were: Banks, 220 yard dash, Franzen high jump, Alvarez, half mile, Delgado, mile run, V. Dick, half mile, Freeman, broad jump. Freeman, Franzen and Rhodes were en- tered in the West Coast Relays in Fresno. 79 TENNIS The tennis turnout has been increasing each year. This fall thirty-five players turned out for the course. Although the team was not in line for the county cup, the spirit of every member of the team has been great, each one has done his very best. Much credit is due to Mr. Price, the coach, who has given every effort to better the team. The season opened February 23 when Dinuba met Hanford. Dinuba was handed its worst defeat of 5-O. Lindsay, Exeter, Tulare, and Visalia all succeeded in trounc- ing Dinuba by the following scores: Lind- say 3, Dinuba 2, Exeter 3, Dinuba 2, Tu- lare 3, Dinuba 2, and Visalia 4, Dinuba l. However, the Emperors defeated Corcoran and Orosi by the following scores: Dinuba 4, Corcoran l, Dinuba 4, Orosi l. Members of the team were: Boys' singles, Matthew Chung, boys' doubles, Donald Shore, Harold Moore, girls' singles, Helen Shon, girls' doubles, Erlaine Gregory, Jean Poehlmann, mixed doubles, Sarah Kor, John Chang. Substitutes were Robert Gil- 80 len, Bob Black, Catherine Haycraft, and Mary Ann Riggs. Because of their efforts and victories, all the members of the team were awarded their letters. At this writing, Matthew Chung, boys' singles player, has moved into the county semi-finals, along with Erlaine Gregory and Jean Poehlmann, girls' doubles. Chung's next opponent is Parker of Hanford, who is ceded as second-best man in the league. If Chung can make this hurdle, he will meet Margo of Porterville in the finals. The next opponent of Gregory and Poehl- mann will be Delano. lf our girls defeat De'ana they will meet Hanford in the finals. Boys' doubles, mixed doubles, and girls' singles representatives for Dinuba were eliminated in the first two rounds played at Tulare, April 27. Mr. Price stated, Dinuba has had quite a few green players, while the players from other towns have been more experienced, thus making a more formidable team, due to this fact the season has not been as suc- cessful as we hoped it would have been.
