Jflobesrto Cttp Retool Poarb Students and faculty members of Thomas Downey High School are justly proud of their fine educational program and beautiful school buildings. The Board of Education of the Modesto City Schools has made our many accomplishments possible. Responsible to the community for the formulation of educational plans and policies, the Modesto Board of Education has, through its Superintendent, Dr. James H. Corson, and administrative staff, made it possible to smoothly increase enrollment by 200 students over last year. This year there were 1,950 students at Downey. Also, many new buildings were added to Downey this year. 2 t Cable of Contents; ADMINISTRATION ................................................. 1-17 UNDERCLASSMEN ................................................. 18-43 CLUBS ......................................................... 44-63 ACTIVITIES .................................................... 64-83 BOYS’ SPORTS ............................................... 84-117 GIRLS’ SPORTS................................................ 118-121 SENIORS ..................................................... 122-151 ADVERTISEMENTS............................................... 152-155 INDEX ....................................................... 156-160 Editor ..................................... ......................................Elaine Shuler Adminstration Editor 7 Marlene Keirn Clubs Editor .

Later he became a squire and was placed in the home of a noble to learn the duties of a knight. Today, the educational process is still being used. Chib dren are sent to schools to learn from teachers and adminis- trators. Here at Downey there are eighty-six such people. A process of “building character9 takes place as the teacher endeavors to impart knoivledge to the student and the adminis- trator guides the functions of the school so that it will be of the most value to the student. Knowledge gained in the study of various courses is only the first step in building the character of the Downey knight. Skills, abilities, insights, and understandings gained through clubs, organizations, sports, and student government contribute an integral jmrt in the development of one's character. Befctcation Chivalry produced a concept that changed the world. This was knightly honor. The education of the knight was directed toward the building of a strong and sound character. As a young hoy he was placed in the household of a noble where he mastered eti- quette and household routine, and imbibed the lessons of honor from the tales of the troubadours and jongleurs. At fifteen, he became a squire in the service of some knight from whom he learn- ed the care and the use of weapons and armor, the management of horses, and the rules of the hunt. When he had performed some single manly exploit, he was able to take the vows of knighthood, which were: to keep the faith, to do justice, and to protect the weak. Before the ceremony of knighting, he kept an all-night vigil in the church, confessed his sins, and took the oath. His lord then presented him his sword, the golden spurs, and the cross of the knight. He then smote him upon the shoulders saying: “Arise, Sir Knight. Be brave, true, and loyal.” He then became a knight bachelor or a knight banneret. He then pledged allegiance to his lord and was hound to serve at his own expense in the royal host fully equipped and on horseback for forty days out of each year. Because knighthood is the symbol upon which the traditions of this school are based, we, the students of Thomas Downey High School, dedicate the 1956 Shield to “building character,” a process which began in the days of the medieval knight and is still alive today. 6 $rtnnpar$ Jfles age Congratulations, Seniors, for an excellent record of achievement as a class and for the achievements you have enjoyed as individuals.

This training began when he was a small child. Among the many things that a page had to learn before he was fourteen or fifteen were: proper manners, respect for the church and the religion, and the proper battle techniques. If his lord ivent into the field of bat- tle, the page went with him to help in every way he could. He had to learn how to use a sword, lanae, and bow, and how to swim, box, and fence. During the seven or eight years that he was a page, the boy was always looking forword to the time that he would become a squire, the next step toward knight- hood. Thus it is with the Thomas Downey High School knight. As a Freshman, working closely with the student leaders of his class, the student helps to further his class relationship. As a highlight of the year the Freshman class sponsors a dance. The class officers help the students integrate into the pattern of school life and the class as a whole contributes greatly to the school spirit and the further development of the school.

He was taught to wield the great battle-axe, to endure the weight of his armor, and to move about in it easily. Each squire in turn became the “squire of the body , that is, he was the closest attendant of his lord. When his master went to the field of battle, the helmet was often entrusted to a page, but to carry the shield and armor was the task of the “squire of the body. Every knight had his pennon. If he had given long service and had many followers, the points of his pennon were cut off, leaving a square banner. A squire needed to have his ivits about him, for if the knight dropped his weapon, the squire must catch the horse or furnish a fresh one. If the knight was at- tacked by several opponents at once the squire was required to come to his aid. As a Sophomore the Thomas Downey High School squire takes an active part in the activities presented for the students. The Sophmores themselves sponsor a dance and also take an active part in the annual talent show. Class officers lead the students in their many duties as Sophomores so that, tasks completed, they will be ready to assume the responsibilities of a Junior.

There were several ways in which a knight might prove his worthiness to enter chivalry. The simplest way was to mount his horse and ride out in quest of adventure. The country was wild and rough. Deeds of violence were common and the young knight might find adventure waiting for him. It was a sight well worth seeing when a knight mounted his steed and galloped away from the castle. He carried a shield large enough to protect his body and to serve as a litter on which, if he was ivounded, he could be carried from the field. All the while, the knight looked forward to the day when he would be presented with the “Golden Spurs and become a “Sir Knight. The Juniors, or Downey knights, who have only one more step before becoming a “Sir Knight or Senior, sponsor the Jr.-Sr. Prom in honor of the Seniors. Contests are held in order to find an original idea for the decoration and the theme for the Prom. Every Junior can enter by submitting an idea. The Junior looks forward with great anticipation to becoming a “Sir Knight and this he does after fulfilling the necessary requirements. 37 of ’57 BEST ALL-AROUND JUNIORS Pat Walker Marcus Carter Joy Ferreria Ed Davis JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Back row: Leighton Smith, junior represen- tative; Nancy Fernow. treasurer; M a r y Jane Hardie, secretary.

It was not unusual to see knights riding to the chase with their hunting dogs; knights gathering at the court of a king or a baron for the rendering of homage. or going forth to war in glittering armor and mounted on gaily caparisoned steeds with pennons flying and followed by squires and yeomen. Each knight was dressed in his particular costume. When the knights assembled for the tournaments—those military games which were the great athletic events of the Middle Ages and which were held in the lists similar to the modern stadium, the gal- leries became filled with ladies in colorful and extravagant costumes. Today, clubs and activities play an important jxirt in the life of the Downey High School knight. These organizations offer an outlet for the students for their interests and hobbies as well as providing an opportunity for social functions. Also, clubs help to create an informal relationship between the students and the faculty and provide an excellent opportunity for developing worthwhile projects for the benefit of the school, students, and community. Each club sends a representative to Inter-Club Council. This body works closely with the administration in deciding the in- dividual clubs activities. — T Back Row: L. Dovici, B. Briggs.

Such sports as jousting, duels, and hand-to-hand fighting were used to keep him in top condition. The Thomas Downey High School knight also takes jxirt in sports, not only to keep him in top condition but for enjoy- ment. He has a large range of sports from which to choose. Such sports as baseball, basketball, track, and football are a few that are offered here at Downey. In medieval times the knight was weighted down by many pounds of metal armor. This was used to protect him against the blows of his opponent. This can be explained by the fact that the object of most sports of that time was to injure the opponent to the extent that he teas unable to con- tinue the battle. In the sports of today, sportsmanship plays an important part. Protective pads and uniforms are mainly for the prevention of accidental injuries. Sports also offer enjoyment to those who tvatch them from the sidelines. At Thomas Downey High the school spirit is greatly increased by such activities. It presents the opportunity for students to unite in a combined effort behind their school and to show their appreciation.

Varsitp $ootball The Downey High School Varsity Football team, playing their second year in the tough Sac-Joaquin conference, played well above any expectations. The team members adapted themselves very well to the split-T formation and after winning their first two games found they were being considered the team to beat in the tight league race. Coaches Chuck Hughes, Joe Meyers, and Keever Jankovich hoped for a 5-5 season record. Starting out the season against the Merced High School team, Downey showed not too much offense, but a very good defense. Hill Heath, whom the coaches bad picked out to lead the game, missed the contest because of a concussion. Hobby Jenkins was moved from halfback to quarterback and did an outstanding job. Pepper Robinette scored tile only touchdown of the game in which the Knights were victorious, 7 to 0. The first league game of the season found the Knights playing the Grant High School Pacers, one of the strongest contenders of the league. However, the Downey team was fired up to revenge the previous year’s defeat at the bands of the Grant team and showed great promise in defeating the Pacers 25 to 0. Bruce Crawford. Jerry Nelson, Tom Vallce, ami Hcrscbcl Sanders played very well for Downey in the line while Pete Hedegard, Bill Heath, and Ray Ward performed well in the hackfield. Against the Stockton College Colts, the Knights went into the game a little over- confident because of their two previous shut-out wins and after the heated battle was over found themselves on the short end of a 14 to 0 score. Still smarting because of the Stockton loss, the Downey Varsity made up their minds to heat a highly favored Lodi team that had not been defeated in the conference for two years. Playing what proved to he their outstanding game of the season the Knights literally pushed the Lodi team all over the field and defeated them 27-6. The Woodland High School Wolves proved to have one of the fastest all-around hackfields in the league. Downey scored three touchdowns against this northern school. Woodland won over the Knights, 27-20. Downey ended up on the Woodland 1-yard line as the final gun sounded. Ray Ward, the leading ground gainer, was injured in this game. Downey and Modesto High, playing before almost 8,000 people, fought an outstand- ing defensive battle. Modesto's one touchdown proved enough to defeat the hard-fighting Knights. It was a game that saw both teams make good offensive marches but both lacked the final punch to get the hall across the goal. Downey scored 19 points against a very strong Turlock High School team. Larry Jenkins, center on the offensive unit and tackle on the defensive team, was outstanding in this contest as was Pepper Robinette who had the duty of defending against a 6’5” rangy Turlock end. Downey High and McClatchy High of Sacramento gave the fans one of the most ex- citing contests to he played on the local field this year. The game saw a flare-up of tempers several times, hut finally ended on a friendly basis. Downey won 26-20. In the last league game of the season Downey played El Camino High. After a very slow first three quarters by both teams the final period saw the teams explode with of- fensive power. El Camino first tied the game up at 7-7 and then went ahead with one minute to go to 13 to 7. Downey came hack in the last 15 seconds to score and tie the game up at 13 to 13 The annual Oakdalc-Downey classic was one of the hardest played games of the year. Both teams scored in the last four minutes of play to tic at 7-7. Downey ended up the season with five wins, three losses, and two ties. The Knights had a very explosive team that was exciting to watch. This year's team lost many fine football players such as co-captains Larry Jenkins and Bruce Crawford, Pep- per Robinette. Bill Hardie. John Austin, Tom Vallce, Pete Hedegard, Bill Heath, Bill Hunter, Norman Larina. Mike Hcrcrra, and many others that were just as outstanding.

Under the direction of co-coaches Lyle Iverson and Chuck Johnson, the team performed ex- pertly against the always tough competition of this league. However, the record shows only part of the real success of this team. The fact that the season started and finished with the same fifty hoys shows the interest and spirit which w'as demonstrated by this fine football squad throughout the season. The Downey Pages employed a very quick and powerful T-forma- tion attack, displaying good solid blocking in the line and some fancy stepping by the many speedy hacks. Along with the high-scoring, quick- opening T-formation was a very effective passing attack that kept the opponents’ offense completely baffled throughout the season. It was quite difficult to single out individual stars on this champion- ship team, because there were so many who put out with 100 per cent effort at all times. However, it seems justifiable to mention the terrific leadership of co-captains Manuel Berhena and Don Bollinger. Others showing the same qualities were: Frank Julius, Ed Davis, Brent Mitchell, and Darrell Scheidegger in the backfield and Tom Brown, Leonard Beuving, Pete Vella, Ken Hansen, Leigh Price, Gil Meeks, Kent Wright, and Robin Berg in the line. Although some of the players will be back to form a nucleus of another fine “B” team, most of the squad will advance up to help make next year’s varsity team even better than it was this year. This high scoring “B” team made a total of 265 points while hold- ing its opponents to only 84 points. Don Bollinger threw 14 of Downey’s 17 touchdown passes. Frank Julius caught 7 of these passes and ran to six other touchdowns to lead the scoring for the “B’s”. Robin Berg was the leader in converting, making 19 extra points. The highlight of the season was the game with El Camino, which was the championship game. The team showed an extra hurst of power and drive to score 57 against 6. This give the “B’s” a clear cut title of championship.

Jfresifjman = opf)omore Jfootball Ceam This team is made up of freshman and sophomore hoys of “A” classification. Coached by Boh Taylor and Tom Domitrovich, the team played games against Denair, Modesto, and schools in Stockton. The fact that the team played a much stronger schedule than in the past and suffered several key injuries in the hackfield seemed to account for the five losses and one win which the team chalked up for the season. The “AV’ showed a lot of advancement as the season progressed and the coaches felt that the hoys received a tremendous amount of valuable experience toward their future football careers. The team’s strength lay in the fine line which did an excellent job both on of- fense and defense. A Split-T formation was used by the team but occasionally the end was split and the fullback flanked. Outstanding players for the “A’s” were Richard Bettencourt, Mike McNulty, Keith Foster, Ken Smith, and Larry Burton. Keith Foster was elected captain for the season. The highlights of the season were two-fold. The first came in the game with Franklin High School, when, after being behind 20-0 at the half, the team scored two touchdowns in the third quarter to make the score 20-14. This strong come- back showed a tremendous desire on the part of the team to win the game. The second highlight was the 25-0 win over Lincoln High School.

The most gratifying development proved to he the team’s steady improvement throughout the short hut helpful season. The frosh led off the schedule by avenging last year’s loss with a 7 to 0 win over Turlock. Prohahly the highlight of the season was the comeback victory over Turlock in the second meeting between the two teams. Leading and in pos- session of the hall in the final minutes, Turlock appeared to have the game on ice. However, Downey took over on downs, and sparked by halfback Webb’s out- standing pass catch, drove for the game's winning touchdown. The split-T, yearling team was quarterbacked by Frank Carrillo. Sonny Til- lery, left-halfhack, gave both Modesto and Turlock plenty of worries on the quick opening plays while Jerry Fenderson at fullback gave enemy linemen ad- ditional woes on line smashes and reverses from the flanker spot. The backs were aided by the play of some good hole-openers up front, namely: Jerry Ward- in, Chuck Pedrioli, Don Baade, and Dennis Colhurt. The first year team didn’t pass much, hut when they did the passes were snagged by Webb along with Tommy Thompson and Boh Austin. The freshmen played hard football in all their contests, and in the last of the season elected Chuck Pedrioli as their captain. Kd Maurice was their coach.

Varsttp Basketball tEeam 96 Parsttp Basketball ®eam Confronted by a complete rebuilding program which centered around only two returning varsity members, the Knights’ basketball fortunes for 1956 almost collapsed in complete bankruptcy. Taking over the reins in bis first year as head coach. Bob Taylor was forced to work with a squad which was very inexperienced in varsity ball. With Noel Bradley, the one returning letterman, and Jerry Pack as the only two varsity returnees, Taylor had to rely on new material to round out the first team. Marcus Carter, Herschel Sanders, and Jerry Lawrence were all brought up from the strong Sophomore “A” team, along with AI Terry from the “B” squad. However, the game most likely to he remembered by Downey fans was the frustrating double overtime loss to Modesto High. Apparently having victory in grasp for the first time over the Panthers with a few seconds remaining, the Knights were victims of a stunning 74-72 loss. One glance at the seasonal record will indicate that the Knights lost several games by two points and a few more by three or four points. In a short summary of the season, Coach Taylor commented that lack of consistency hurt the Blue and White throughout the entire season. When the Knights were “on,” they were capable of top-flight basketball but in almost every game a cold streak ruined chances for victory. The Knights were led by senior forward Noel Bradley, the team’s lead- ing scorer and one of the better defensive players in the Sac-Joaquin League. Marcus Carter and Al Terry also played an important role in the scoring department. Bradley and Terry were elected team co-captains for the year. Playing their last season for Downey were Noel Bradley, Glenn Davis, Richard Garvey, Mike Graham, Curtis Grant, Jerry Pack, and Al Terry. Next season promises to hold a brighter future, as six lettermen return to anchor the team for the Knights. AI Terry Marcus Carter 98 s Everybody has to get in the act. Teachers make good players!

It sported a league record of ten wins and three losses and an overall record of sixteen wins and five losses. The “B’s” were in the running for league championship for the greater part of the sea- son. However, losing a few crucial games to Sacramento, Turlock, and Modesto put them in second place behind Sacramento. The “B’s” displayed a tremendous amount of hustle throughout the season and were putting out 100 percent effort at all times. Prob- ably the most spectacular game of the season was the Modesto game at Modesto when the Pages dumped their cross-town rivals by twelve points. Freshman Tom Muench recorded a new Downey “B” scoring record of thirty-one points in that game and also showed the fans what can he expected from the varsity in the future. Outstanding players for the Pages were seniors, Rufus Santos and Leonard Maley; Juniors Jerry Reimer, Donald Bollinger, and Keith Beyers;Freshman Tom Muench.

Robin Hilgeman TENNIS Once again Downey boasts a strong tennis team; in fact, the strongest in the school’s his- tory. Downey has the unusual record, in this sport, of never having lost a match in league play. Two years in succession the Knights were champions of the strong Sac-Joaquin League, and the predictions are for another undefeated season in the year to come. Many of the players have won trophies in tournaments throughout the state and two members, Rudy Hernando and Robin Hilgeman, have played in and won tournaments in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. These two will enter both singles and doubles in the National Junior Tennis Championships in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The other regular varsity players were: Jack Griffin, Bill Harader, Greg Mereiades, Tom Muench, and Mickey Kennedy. The Junior Varsity team consisted of: Bert Carner, Bennie Goodman, Ken Reeves, Bill Chase. Fred Thiemann, Bill Graham, Gary Wycoff, and Roddy Feld- man.

The 1956 Downey High School golf team was again made up of boys in their ninth, tenth, and eleventh year of school. Most of the boys had improved their golf game considerably from the 1955 season. The conference was much tougher this year than ever before. Ixxli, Turlock, Stockton, and Modesto High Schools were extremely strong. Lodi High School, the defending league champions, had its entire squad returning and were naturally the favorite to win again in 1956. Although this year's team finished low in the league standing, things are looking up at Downey for greater possibilities within the next two years. 107 Rufus Santos — left field; Pepper Rob- inette—center field; Gregory York—right field; Fred Kusrow—shortstop; Harold Whitehead—third base; Don Harvey— Coach Chuck Johnson. second base; Dick Lo Forti—first base; Larry Jenkins — pitcher; Bill Heath — catcher.

Early season drills showed the fol- lowing promising players: Tony Lopez, Richard Tirado, Frank Carrillo, A1 Tillery, Merle Alldrin, Jim Hamilton, Lynn Webb, Larry Butterfield, A1 Thompson and Steve Zeigler. The team was coached by Mr. Domitrovich. The managers were Gene Hoover and Ed Bello. Back Row: Ed Bello, Rick Tirado, Bob Austin, Ted Fidler, David Gilton, Delwin Wallace, Jim Lewis, Jerry Cobb, Eugene Hoover (MGR). Second Row: Merle Aldrin, Dennis Colbert, Lynn Webb, Tom Thomp- son, Gary Taylor, Jerry Warden, Jim Hamilton, Steve Zeigler. Front Row: Larry Butterfield, David Walker, Sonny Tillery, Anthony Lopez, Frank Carrillo, Dick Ligluner, Jerry Fenderson, Jerry Nugent, Bob Ayres.

Front Row: Robert Barton, Grant Sherlock, Gaar May, Jerry Baxley, Bob Bowker, Dave Triplett. Erack The 1956 prospects for the A, B, and C track teams looked the brightest of any in Thomas Downey High's short but eventful track history. The A” team, led by junior Herschel Sanders, shot putter, and senior Dave Triplett, sprinter, will probably give everyone but Stockton College plenty of competition. Sanders put the shot 53’ 10 and Triplett ran 10.2 in the 100—yard dash and 22.8 in the 220—yard dash. Both boys are expected to improve this year. The B team is expected to be conference and sectional championship contenders because of an abund- ance of sprinters and depth in the field events. Names like Roger Baker—sprinter; Glen Bauman—pole- vaulter; Kent Wright—shot-putter; Gary Jespersen—high jumper; Robin Berg—sprinter and hurdler; Frank Deniz—hurdler; and many others bless the B team with tremendous talent potential. The C team this year is an unknown quantity with virtually no returning veterans. The ranks of this team must be filled by freshmen with little previous track experience. The teams this year will perform in their usual dual and qualifying meets, but there is something new— the City Relays with Modesto High School. This is the first year for this event, which includes relay event instead of any individual events, and it will probably be the most interesting of all the team's meets. The coaches of the track teams are: Mr. Richard Knox. Mr. Lyle Iverson, and Mr. Ed Maurice. HURDLES BROAD JUMP Joe Dicu, Dick Norquist, Mark Knoles, Dick Jerry Baxley, Ray Ward, Rudy Owens.

Seniors If the medieval knight had faithfully attended to his duties and had done his utmost to pass his tests and obligations he tvas eligible to become “Sir Knight99 This teas the highest honor that he could attain. To become “Sir Knight99 he ivas required to take part in certain activities. The Thomas Downey High School knight takes jxirt in such activities as Senior Ditch Day, the Senior Banquet, the Jr.-Sr. Prom, and Baccalaureate services. As the final step toward becoming a “Sir Knight 9 he takes part in graduation, during which he receives his diploma. This diploma entitles him to all privileges of “Sir Knight99 and is as significant to him as the “Golden Spurs99 was to the knight of medieval time. When the knight receives his diploma the “character- building process is finished and he must now prove that he is worthy of the honor that has been bestowed upon him.

During the sophomore year they co-sponsored a freshman-sophomore dance. As juniors, the class raised money for the junior-senior prom by having a hake sale, a scrap metal drive, and a play called “All in the Family.” The senior year was composed of many graduation duties such as the sale of announcements, the taking of senior pictures, and the fitting of caps and gowns. To raise money for the senior memorial, the play “A Doctor in Spite of Himself” was presented by a cast of senior dramatic students.
