We would like to identify the various units of our school with the different branches of the field of aviation. The head of our institution of learning we here refer to as the Flight Commander. He is Superintendent Charles C. Carpenter who has chartered the school year of i942 with encouragement, kindness, and a determination to make it a successful one. Squad Leaders that have played a leading role in this year's flight are the Board of Education, the Faculty, the student Executive Board. Student publications, The NORSEMAN and The VOLSUNC, also function under this unit to signify the free press that is maintained in our country. Cadets and Fledglings are next in our school aviation parade. Cadets of our school are those attending Senior high, while those in the junior high we call Fledglings. When the Cadets are On Leave their time is spent according to their interests. Some are socially inclined, others turn to foreign languages, while still others are interested in literature, commerce, and service. These in- terests receive expression in the school clubs and organizations. Of course Cadets, when they are on leave, take part of their time for a bit of Hedgehopping. Daredevil stunts add a little variety to the daily routine. Temporary relief from routine duties are found in the hundreds of little daily events of human interest, some of which we here depict with our cartoons and snapshots. As our lnterceptors are fighting for protection of the nation they repre- sent, so are those who participate in school athletics doing their share to protect the prestige of the school. Here we have presented the units of the Downey Union high school, attempting to show the relation of each to some phase of aviation and the part aviation plays in national defense. Our educational institution is a strong force that goes hand-in-hand with national defense in the preparation for a future of freedom and the right to life in a bigger and better democracy. With these few notes it is our pleasure to give you the aviation number of the i942 VOLSUNG. ryfxfx d Xsss' 1,5 ,f-' A FLIGI-lT COMMANDER Especially in times of turmoil and strife an organization requires a capable, self-reliant commander. In that capacity we have Superinten- dent Charles C. Carpenter. Mr. Carpenter has proved himself a true friend, a loyal comrade, and a wise counsellor. He has the same unconquerable spirit that characterizes the Ameri- can airmen in their defense of our nation. He has not only guided our senior class plane through stormy weather, but has brought its flight to a successful climax. Because he inculcates all the vir- tues and qualities of a great leader, we dedicate the l9-42 edition of The VOLSUNC to Mr. Charles C. Carpenter. w-.NM wh? by 'ffm My 4, .

Representatives from each class and various organiza- F s 'al 2. Er. ' 5 tions are members of this body. Many difficult problems were solved this year by this board under the guidance of Superin- tendent Carpenter. The council is responsible for the entire direction of student body activities. Acting as a representative for the entire student body. they invested S200 in bonds early in the defense drive. Other functions sponsored by the group were a dance in March, and the annual Carnival, in May. Both were nounced highly successful.

TRUSTEES A il H7 l Through the cooperative efforts of Superintendent C. C. l Carpenter and the Governing Board, action this year was taken 1 l to start work on a new unit of six classrooms for Senior highl academic courses. Breaking of ground brought into action the probability of a future plan to move all classroom buildings away from Firestone in the distant future. Another of the projects was the establishing of the Defense Training school, which is the best equipped of its kind in the country. Also established was a separate Evening high school to meet the needs of adults of the community, especially in the present emergency. Also high-lighting the yeor's events for the Board was the completion of four modern tennis courts and an appropriation for an additional bus.

They look back upon all the senior activities that took place during the year. The first of these was the annual Senior Ditch Day in February at Big Pines where they frollicked in the snow for a whole day. Next, in March, came the senior play, with an abundance of hard, tedious work on the part of the cast and managers. The play, Ever Since Eve, was hailed as one of the greatest productions ever presented by Downey students. Rubes Day, in April, had the underclassmen in literal convulsions of laughter, with the seniors sporting ultra-fancy getups that really did them proud. Hawaiian Islands was the theme of the junior-Senior Prom, held in the school gymnasium in May. A grand finale for the class of l942 was the senior tea, followed by the Baccalaureate exercises at the Presbyterian Church. Last, but not least, were the commencement exercises held in the auditorium june I8. Physically Handicapped A few students who are unable to attend classes at the high school due to physical handicaps are taught in a special class at the Rancho Los Amigos by Mr. Theo- dore Maurer. Pictured at the right are four members, namely, Rey Mendoza and john Newbauer, seniors: Stella Bamborles and Eddie Machado, freshmen. l Page 25 Page l l l JUNIORS llsl Back Row--D. Berry, E.

Blueprint reading, vital in defense work, is also taught in the Downey Defense School. The machine shop scene shows a worker learning the art of constructing metal cogs in offensive war machines, Even women join the men in taking advantage of Downey's educational institutions to learn necessary skills so that they may help end aggression against the United Nations.

AIR RAID WARDENS The I into the war has made it necessary to be on the alert for possible air attacks. Air raid drills have become a regular prac- tice. entry of the United States Seven boys have been selected to act as wardens and assist teachers in carry- ing out the air raid drills. Their duties are to see that the students reach their assigned places quickly, safely and with as little confusion as possible. GROUP l- Back r , . u ivan, B, Van Deren. Second row-1. Pherson, B.

One of the main features of this year's dramatic calendar was The Christmas Quilt , two-act play presented by the ninth grade speech class and directed and written by Miss Gwendolyn Flack. ln brief the story is concerned with a family heirloom that influences the ,hristmas spirit of all the Parsons except Suzanne, a selfish, frivolous girl. She sells the quilt for her own personal gains. When the family lament its disap- pearance, Suzanne realizes her error and regains the quilt and her Christmas spirit. K White gifts vvere tickets of admission for a large and appreciative audience. These white gifts 'were gratefully received by those whose Christmas otherwise would have been dark indeed. NINTI-l GRADE CHORUS I The Iunior high school is very proud of the 9th grade chorus.

Every other month when the Quill and Scroll magazine comes out con- tests are offered to the students. This year several of the students placed high in national journalism group contests. Membership signifies outstanding work having been completed on The NORSEMAN or voLsuNo. VOLSUNG This year's theme of The VOLSUNC is Aviation. The plane industry being so vital these days and Vultee plant so near this theme seemed quite fitting. The annual is greatly indebted to the Vultee aircraft for airplane views and the colored plates in the opening section. Great stress was put this year on individual pictures, and club activities were given more space than in the past. A new idea was used this year in selling annuals. Pledge cards were signed at the first of the year. NORSEMAN Once every week The NORSEMAN is published by students of the journalism classes. The staff made a new achievement this year by having o paper written and published on the first day of the new school year. The paper entered several contests this year some of which were the USC contest, Los Angeles Times Editorial writing contest, the National Tuberculosis Association contest, The National Scholastic Press Association contest, Columbia Scholastic Press Association contest, and the Quill and Scroll contest. ln each contest The NORSEMAN placed high. LES TORCHERES Eight years ago the girls who were prominent in school activities, through the assistance of Mrs. Helen B. Martin, formed the Les Torcheres, a club which believed only in the highest ideals of citizenship, scholarship, and sportsmanship. The name of their club originated from the French language meaning Torch Bearers. Well suited is the name of Les Torcheres, for it signifies the spirit of American girls in this fight for freedom and victory. It is a club of high morals, founded on a creation of loyal spirit in school, and gives a larger opportunity for leadership. K? XIICYK! er ,N ,f L X Quill and Scroll Bock row'-C.

Page 62 GIRLS' LEAGUE The Girls' League aims to develop high ideals of womanhood, encourage a greater spirit of helpfulness and friendship, and promote the true spirit of democracy and loyalty to those things which are true and noble. Conferences at Montebello and Roosevelt high schools were among the year's activities. Main event of the year was the annual Mothers' and Daughters' Tea with Our School and Our Country as theme. Throughout the year, various money raising projects, such as candy sales, novelty souvenirs and Luggage Day were held. CARDI NAL MASQUE Their purpose is to further knowledge of dramatics, promote friendship, and to pledge wholehearted support to school activities. Students are admitted according to grades in either public speaking or dramatics. Initiation was held after the first quarter when members attended the Pasadena Playhouse where they saw The Male Animal. The club began the year with five members and increased to about twenty members by the end of the yar. The student body acknowledges this organization as valuable in supporting the morale of the school in general. COMMERCIAL CLUB To promote interest in the business world and to attain high scholastic achievement in commercial subiects is the aim of the Commercial Club. Special emphasis is placed on those things pertaining to business. To become a member, students must be enrolled in a commercial subject and receive a grade of B for one quarter. After initiation the student becomes a regular member. The Commercial Club has been an incentive to commercial students to work for higher scholarships and maintain previous standards in school life. COMMERCIAL CLUB Highlight of the year's activities was a field trip to Woodbury College and to Metropolitan School of Business. At one of the regular meetings Mr. L. O. Culp, one time associated with Fullerton junior College for more than 24 years as head of the commercial department, spoke on personal appearance and personal fitness. A senior farewell dinner was held as the year's final at which time Kathleen Quinn was announced as the most promising senior girl in com-I mercial work. A committee appointed by club advisers made the selection. --- if iwe,fsn,,f 1 tw dd KE ,,,, ,W 3'-fi,-. VY r-' rw L ,f ji X D' L' Girls' League Back row-Adviser H. Martin, 1. Hansen, D. Stock, B.

Girls' Athletic Association is an organization with the purpose of foster- ing sportsmanship, promoting the feeling of good inner-scholastic feeling, and broadening friendships through playdays with other schools. Because of the acute rubber situation, Downey had to forfeit the volley- ball and hockey playday at Corona. The club wasn't very active during the first part of the year, but when the club's constitution was revised interest was regained. The seniors and sophomores had the biggest turnout. ALPHA TRI-Y With their purpose the same as the Beta Tri-Y the Alpha Tri-Y is composed of seniors and is a branch of the YMCA. Their program is for clean speech, clean sportsmanship, clean scholarship and clean living. They carried out their slogan of others through a Christ- mas drive for canned goods and the fag-bag drive for California forestry reserves in connection with national defense. To become a member, a girl must learn the purpose, planks and slogan. After a mock initiation there is a serious one. This is a candlelighting ceremony with a cross of gardenias in the middle of a three-point formation, formed by officers of the club. BETA TRI-Y An organization created to extend and maintain the very best of Chris- tian standards throughout the school, church, and community. An organi- zation whose members are pledged to give the very best of their time and energy to others . . . this is the Beta Tri-Y. During the year, food sales and fag-bag campaigns were held. A tea for Tri-Y mothers was the highlight of the first semester. The first annual Tri-Y Day was held on March 27. Among the events were an assembly, a dance at noon, and a party after school. TOP HATTERS Last year, a group of elongated bipeds banded together to form the Top Hatters. They felt that there was a need for o club in which only tall students would be allowed to join. This idea originated from a national group for extremely tall people called Tip Toppers. Height requirements for the local club are five feet seven inches for girls and six feet for boys. Mr. E. B. McDonald was chosen first adviser. Mr. Robert Reid was adviser this year. Among the activities were polishing school trophies, decorating goal posts, bleachers, and baskets. fixfsfwf 5xA4 N mi 'IPX wif Q ,Q V ,f i L' P viii X V G. A. A. Back row-M. Gustafson, D. Stock l.

Initiation was held at the end of the second quarter at which time a mock initiation was held followed by a serious ceremony. Several members gave talks on Spanish countries, the people, their customs, and history at the meetings. Mr. H. I. Horton, adviser, urged members throughout the year to learn to understand the people of Latin America and their customs. LATIN CLUB The purpose of this club is to incite students of the Latin class to higher standards of industry and to promote the value of the Latin language and the cultural aspects of Roman life. All those receiving a C or better are eligible for membership. Also those who completed Latin in another school with the required grades are eligible for participation in Latin Club extra-class activities. Each semester they give a party. The first party is usually of a Latin nature. They dress in Latin costume, eat Latin food, and play games in Latin. The second party is usually a picnic. C. S. F. To foster a higher standard of scholarship and to broaden ideals of service is the purpose of the California Scholarship Federation. The club was formed in May of i939 and the members have proved themselves outstanding by their determination to make a big success of their activities. Conventions were held during the year and attended by some members of the Downey chapter. lf a student is a member for four consecutive semesters he becomes a life member and is so honored by being given the CSF pin. Other members are lent the pin for the time of their membership. HI-Y Creating, maintaining, and extending throughout the school and com- munity higher standards of Christian character is the purpose of Hi-Y. Their motto is clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. The club was originated in 1929 and is open to boys from second semester sophomores up, after being voted in by the members. Mr. L. H. Williams and Mr. W. 1. Wright are advisers. Hi-Y boys sponsored the Bonfire Rally the night before the Puente game. They take care of tickets during games and act as ushers when called upon. -f NB, AMN f P A C ,rg rg! fl 5 kfff ,A 132-QVN-X A I I , -g-fu T., I A f s Spanish Club Back row-D. Fisher, B. Harmon, D.

CN Page 68 VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club was formed this year to fill a job which has been in need of being inforced for some time. The purpose is to create and main- tain high standards of sportsmanship and to stimulate interest in sports. One of the clu'b's foremost projects is to put into effect and inforce league rulings regarding the wearing of athletic awards, such as size of letters, and wearing of stripes and stars on sweaters. Only Varsity Iettermen who have made a letter within the current year are eligible for membership in the club. FIRE WARDENS Fire wardens work for the safety of the school. They have been given careful instructions as to their duties in case of fire. The wardens work under one teacher to whom they have been assigned. Besides fire wardens, there are regular janitors who are always ready to go into action. The fire wardens and faculty members took a survey of the entire school and checked the equipment such as sand, fire plugs, first aid stations, fire hose, carbontetra chloride, soda acid, fire extinguishers, gas valves and power switches. Their report is that all equipment is satisfactory and ready for instant use. AIR-RAID WARDENS Air-raid wardens work under the direction of the office. They check to see that all students are in proper places, away from dangerous location, during drills. They see that every safety measure is carried out, and that students are away from windows and doors. Instruc- tions from the office to students are carried by the wardens. If it is necessary they supervise the moving of a group from one place to another in case of fire or immediate danger. Upon the sounding of the alarm they take their places and can be dis- tinguished by the arm band which they all wear. The group is led by Mr. C. C. Carpenter. ffm AA -.......---Y .. . --.LLL U .- lj ,-N . ' ff f Y LX 'W f ,ff To .fs l ' f f .f f RYTN Nl! X rr' NY' . Wx f' ,LST,-' .i J mia- -TTT!

Sharing top honors in the leading roles were Kathleen Quinn and Leroy C-iff d, E ' or veryone agreed that they gave a splendid performance with Kathleen as a career loving high school girl, and Leroy as the editor of the school paper. Richard Larson and luanita Gerber continually kept the audience amused with their antics and wisecracks. -Q wwf if ess ,f A 1 s see MANAGERS- Miss Be, eflfge Tom Shull, Margie Pedersen Donnie Roe Lyles, Donzel Hess - ...KJ- LegE'r No one can forget the southern belle, Francie Folts. Some people believed that she actually came from the south because of her excellent accent and interpretation. Playing the conceited high school boy was Tom Shull, Although Tom is anything but conceited in real life, he put his part over. Elaine Tanksley and Leland Scott gave commendable performances despite the fact that they portrayed older characters. The mother and father, played by Barbara Nance and William Powell, were two actors on the stage who gave the play a down-to-earth feeling. Barbara had marvelous stage presence and William had the sympathy of everyone due to his absent-mindedness. The Irish cop, lrvine lVlcConaghy, was a source of many laughs through- out the play. The youngsters were continuously getting him confused. but he always seemed to get straighetned out. Derythe Chapman, student director, had a difficult task, but it was well executed. Lyle Taylor, Frank Baum, Bob Gerber, Cordon Vatcher, and john Zylstra worked long and hard as stage hands while Carol Siemonsma and lean Walling capably handled properties. Melba Parks handled costuming and Virginia Baker collected personal properties in an efficient manner. Page 11 QL!! Xl.

Of the season's ZO games the Varsity won five practice encounters. Lee Ericson loped in 89 points to lead his teammates in scoring, with Roland Mattson a close second with 85 tallies.

Although this year's team was very small, having only a dozen members, it was one of the most successful teams Downey has ever turned out. An example of its powers was in the one and only home meet of the season when they completely outclassed the Corona team, annexing all l2 first places and totaling 70 points to the Panthers' 34. The following boys came back from the league finals held at Citrus with medals: Buck Powell, third in the 4403 Hal Brock, fourth in the lOO and fifth in the 2205 Bill Reavill, fourth in the 8801 Doug Sauls- bury, fourth in the pole vault and Tom Cranillo, fourth in the shot put.
