SUPT. W. L. WALKE'R and Assistants With understanding Mr. W. I. Wright has given the students of the Downey Dude Ranch a clearer vision of worthwhile things in the future. His ability, foresight, and in- telligence have helped him to cope with the various problems to be faced as Vice-Prin- cipal. Among those who have helped the stu- dents to prepare for tomorrow is Mrs. Karyn B. Sanders, Girls' Counselor. Her sincere help, guidance, and thoughtfulness have made her one of the favorite hired hands at the Ranch, Mr. Leland H. Williams, Business Man- ager, is best recognized for his ability in handling the schooI's finances. His responsi- bility is an enormous job, but his personality makes him well-liked by the students.

As the school year ends we look back on it's events and see that the Oldtimers, better known as the senors, have had a very eventful year. Acclaimed as one of the best plays of this year, or any year, was You Ccin't Take it With You as presented by the seniors on May 4 and Both nights were complete sell- outs. The sets used in the production were the gift of this class to the school, and were presented early so they could be used in the presentation of this senior class play. Another big event was Dtch Day. A trip to Big Bear filled the day-with skiing, sled- ding and other winter snow sports enjoyed as entertainment. Traveling in school busses pro- vided for enthusiastic fellowship and laughter. Page 16 The picnic held after the parade through town on Rubes' Day was a welcome refresh- ment. The varied assortment of costumes and disguises became things of the past as most seniors shed them and headed for the swim- ming pool. The seniors originality had a chance for display on this day. May I5 brought forth the Senior Assem- bly and many hidden talents were discovered and unveiled for the enjoyment of the student body. As the end of the year rolled around the senior tea, baccalaureate, and graduation brought an end' to the year's festivities and activities-a school year not soon to be for- gotten.

These representatives were chosen for scholastic ability, sportsmanship, poise, personality, and personal contact with others. A complete list of the senior class was given to the faculty for selection of the top twenty. The faculty chose sixteen boys and seventeen girls as outstanding. The seniors had Page 24 the final vote and selected the ten boys and ten girls above as those most representative of the senior class. This is the third year that the annual has carried the Seniors Who's Who. However, this is the first year that this list of boys and girls has been left as a scoop for the Volsung, rather than being announced earlier in the school paper. BUCKARCDOS The to-be seniors are really looking forward to next year, because they've had so much fun this year in participating in their many events. The most important activity of course was the prom. This was put on in honor of the seniors at the Mormon Stake House in Huntington Park and was one of the best proms ever held. The juniors also put on two fine assemblies: one was a talent show and the other was a program explaining about the U.N.O. Also they presented to the public the very successful play, Penrod.

Cutting stencils, doing mirneograph and ditto work and learning the mechanisms of the various machines they work with was all part of the yeor's work for the office practice classes. Conscientious workers - they will become office workers in the years to come. All phases of science-anatomy, lsotany, and others were combined in this one compulsory sophomore class. Laboratory work was done and much was learned that will be of great help to these students. The study of American history oc- cupied these students with the learn- ing of important facts about our country and other countries whose history connected with ours, Forms of government were also considered, with emphasis on the democratic form. Current events were kept up with. Life after graduating will not be as difficult for seniors after taking this course in senior problems. Various business enterprises were discussed, vocations, personality, manners, and social problems. All this will be valu- able information to help them as they go out into the cold, cold world. Secretaries and stenographers of tomorrow were these skillful and oc- curate typists. All forms of business and personal typing were taken up and speed tests were given every day to improve their skill. They also found that knowing haw to type helps greatly in preparing homework.

As the Volsung staff was not appointed this year until much later than is customary a great deal of digging in had to be done to get the annual out within a reason- able time and with any degree of success. Whether that goal was achieved or not is left up to you to decide as you browse through Downey Dude Ranch. Some of the problems confronting the staff were seeing that all pictures were taken, cutting pictures to proportion and mounting same, planning ci layout of the annual, and writing copy. With cover material hard to get that turned out to be the biggest worry. Getting copy in on time was the worst headache, and like ex- tracting teeth. Despite the fretting and gnawing and gncishing of teeth, the staff found pleasure in seeing the annual grow to completion day by day. May you gain some amount of pleasure from this annual, is their wish. lf you do, they will feel well repaid for their time and effort spent in compiling this record of the school year.

You can't say they didn't work either. They were busy most of the week writing stories and heads, and run- ning around trying to obtain information on school happenings. While the reporters did this, the editors were busy laying out the dummy, figuring inches for each story, and generally working themselves into exhaustion. Didn't they feel proud when the paper came out on the following Wednesday, though! You know itl All in all they really gave us some good stuff. Some of them brought forth natural talent and seemed to have printer's ink in their veins. Others got blood transfusions from these and started writing like good little cub reporters. With their combined efforts they did things up proud and published a school paper that was read with enthusiasm by the students and faculty, and which even won some honor ratings. lst Quarter ...., Kenneth Noel Znd Quarter. . .Doris Anderson 3rd Quarter ...... jerry jordan 4th Quarter.jo Ann DeArmond Page 37 Quill and Scroll OFFICERS SECOND SEMESTER President .........................

A field trip to Huntington Library was also an event to be remembered with pleasant thoughts. The C.S.F. is a statewide organization, and only those with the best of grades are able to become members. It is quite an honor to be accepted into this club.

No, itls not Greek, it's Spanish. Besides learning to speak the language, the students have taken up the study ot various South American countries, Spain, and Mexico by reading books on them and discus- sing them in class. But besides working hard all the time, these students know how to have a good time too. One of the best times of the year was had when Mr. joe Coss, adviser and teacher, rounded up his Spanish lll class and hit the road for Padua Hills. Here they were served delicious Mexican food.

Later in the year the members of the club spent a Saturday morning in the projection room of the Meralta theater being shown the mechanics of the various machines, lights, and controls. A great deal of new information was gained from this. The making of their own pin-hole cameras created enthusiasm among the group. When it came to developing and printing the pic- tures taken with their home-made devices some found the cameras were fairly good and others not so good, but a lot of fun was de- rived from their use.

The music festival at South Pasadena also showed them to pos- sess musical qualties which were very fine. The boys were proud to boast of the largest glee club ever had in Downey high school. They gained musical knowledge and many moments ot fun and comrodeship from the hours spent in preparng and presenting their musical repretoire.

The song leaders want to lead a song and the majorettes want to strut. Under the direction ot Mr. Francois Uzes the band, composed of junior and Senior high school students, really pepped things up. They played at all our home football games and the one at Pasadena Rose Bowl with Mon- rovia. Their musical ettorts did much to rouse school spirit and keep the school cheering for their team. Without their numbers the games would not have seemed the same. The band also played for pep rallies and other programs.

You Can't Take lt With You, the senior class play this year was given in a matinee performance April 3 and two evening performances April 4 and 5. All per- formances were completely sold out with standing room only. The sets used in the play were given to the school by the senior class. The play deals with the Vanderhof household in New York about l935. The action takes place in the living room and we do mean living. In this room Grandpa Vanderhof collects snakes and throws darts, Penny writes plays and paints, Essie studies ballet with Mr. Kolenkhov, Ed composes music, and Paul and Mr. DePinna make fireworks. Rheba and Donald prepare dinner and catch flies for the snakes. Into this mad house Alice, the only completely sane member of the family, brings her fiance, Tony Kirby, and Mr. and Mrs. Kirby who are very wealthy and sophisticated folks. The Kirbys are shocked and oppose Tony and Alice in their desire to get married, but Grandpa Vanderhof, with the help of the Grand Duch- esses' presence, makes them realize people should live as they like for you can't take it with you. Miss Leota Haas was the very capable director of this production. She was aided by the student director, Mary Lewis, and the fine crew. i l Page 65 Page 66 In the snow! -- Get an Eskimo dog! - The country cousins visit the city.

Two of the touchdowns were made by Frank Hagey while Eddie Addington ran one OVC l'. Following their victory over Corona, the Vikings came through again by whipping Brea Olinda lS-6. Again Frank Hagey made two touchdowns and Eddie Addington chalked up an- other. Page 72 Montebello came to Downey for r'v'nge but went home as good losers. fhey concentrated on stopping Frank l-lagey but in so doing, Eddie Adding- ton slipped through them for two touchdowns. The score ended at l3-O in favor of the Vikings. i The Viking football squad selected Eddie Addington as Most Valuable Man. The title just suits his spirit. Eddie was always one of the spark plugs on the team and the ten touchdowns he made this season is an enviable record for anyone, After playing the undefeated Vik- ings, the El Segundo Eagles returned home with a sad story and the short end of a 20-7 score. Bob Biddle, Frank Hagey, and Eddie Addington all made touchdowns. lt can be truthfully said that Dow- ney was never defeated in the Rose Bowl because it was there that the Vikings ran over the Monrovia Wild- cats by a score of 20-O. Speed demon Frank Hagey made all three touch- downs. Bonita, champions of the Tri- County League, were the next to be trimmed by the vengeful Vikings. Frank Hagey made two touchdowns while Eddie Addington drove one over making the score l9-6. Chino and Garden Grove were the next victories for the Norsemen, being defeated 25-2l, and l2-6 respectively.

Cold footballs were issued to every member of the squad through the courtesy of the Kiwanis, Rotary, and Lions service clubs. Two trophies were given to the school in recognition of the successful season. One was donated by Mr. Evert R. Cummings of the Meralta theatre while the other is coming from the C. l. F. office. Coach Smitheran was also presented a fine trophy by the football team in appreciation for his leading them through such a great season.

Taking the Consolaton Championship at the Anaheim B Tournament was the high- light of the season. The squad received a tro- phy in recognition of their fine playing at the tournament. Ot the tive boys on the first team, three were senors: Eddie Addington, Bob Biddle, and Fred Carroll.

However the Vikings have already played ll games and ot these two have been won and one tied. Lady Luck has not been with the squad because several of the games lost have been very close. Under the direction ot Coach Tom Buckles, the team has been steadily improving and has shown that it can play good baseball. There are six returning lettermen from last year's team: jack Wright, Art l-lenzgen, Tommy Bickel, Eddie Addington, Kenny Tank- sley, and Bob Bddle.

Once again tennis is coming into the sports spotlight, after a lapse of four years. The tennis squad is under the direction ot Mr. joe G. Coss. Net tournaments have been held with Anaheim, Orange, Fullerton, Citrus, and Corona. Three more are scheduled. One with Citrus, one with Corona, and one with Excelsior. ln order to be eligible for a letter, the players must each win a match, which consists ot two out of three sets. So far, several of the players are eligible for letters. lt is expected that the interest created in the sport this year will bring better competition for next year. id While volleyball is considered one ot the more simple sports, it requires skill and accuracy which is attained only by constant practice. These girls are often found enjoying the game during their gym classes. Although only a small number of girls par- ticipated in tennis, it is a popular sport with all who enjoy a game ot action. The game may look easy but these girls would certainly say that it isn't. Sport Row l-F. Mills, C. Summers, S. Thiele, Mrs. H. Kelch, C Beebe, Emma Tavarez, D. Cross. 'Row 2-S. lanes, L. Arnswald, A.

Page 82 Speedbell Even though speedball is the most vigorous sport ot the year, it is inter- esting because it calls for action not equalled by any other sport. The tact that it is a rough sport seems to cause the girls to like it all the more. Basketball is one of the fastest and most exciting games of the season. These sophomore girls are a few of those who participated in the sport this year.

DEL WARD, Princpal Downey junior High School With vacation aagin in sight, we can all of us, students and teachers alike, look back upon a successful school year in the junior high. Ninth graders, we are sure, are well able to meet all situations in scholarship and de- portment that will be expected of them in Senior high. As principal, l have been happy for the opportunity of serving the friendly student body and the very cooperative faculty, and I am looking forward to another successful year when school starts up in the fall. FOFCITIBI1 6l1Cl Assistant M. GWENDOLYN FLACK As we look back upon our school year we feel that much has been accomplished. New friendships have been formed and old ones strengthened. Participating in many school activities, jfunior High girls have learned to work and to play together. Through commttee and group work girls have assumed responsibility and have shown their will- ingness to cooperate. May each girl in the future take her place in any school activity where she is needed and where she will have an opportunity to develop those qualities most essential for leader- ship. lt is with a sense of gratification and pride that we reflect upon our girls' events of this past year. To each girl goes a share in 'these accom- plishments, for it is through the combined efforts of each one that our school year has been brought to a successful end. Page 87 CHARLES A.
