I KEITH KYSER Keith Kyser, who in his quiet unassuming way entered the hearts of his associates to fix strong bonds of friendship, never forced himself into the lives of others, but was nevertheless warmly wel- comed into the affairs of many. He has left the influence of a good student, a worthy sportsman, and a good friend upon those who knew him best. From the human point of view Keith has much yet to offer his school fellows and the world. Be- cause of his quietness it was only after losing him from our midst that his worth as a citizen was real- ized. ln that realization we can seek to develop similar good qualities in our own lives Indeed accepting his pattern for ourselves is a more worthy tribute to him than mourning his going or question- ing the goodness of God in allowing it. Our highest tribute to Keith is the attempt to simulate his finest characteristics in our own lives.

Also, it is felt that the school will continue to expand and with that expansion will come experi- ence and betterment for future students. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. J. B. Daughenbaugh and Elmer Black for their cooperation, and to thank them for the long hours spent over a hot enlarger. We really are very grateful to them. The staff sincerely hopes that you, the readers, may once again re-live through this book the year of l947-i948 on our campus. ,.-ek' ff' , if, ,X Dedication ...Q if 'E Sila- S .1 Lime' 1 H! 1, 41 -A We dedicate this book to a community growth and expansion that possesses a workable Christian democracy ond bears all the evidence of character training in a citizenry with the light of wisdorn, o love for life-long learning and advancement, and ci devotion to service--a kind of service that, in the end, gives a blessing tar richer to the giver than to those who receive.

B. and M. A. Colorado State College of Education, Greeley. Graduate Work University of Southern California Gut Superintendent Education is a Life's Business training program for certain imperishable human qualities in their most plas- tic state, and to begin l.ife's Business education, we must set our goal which includes the idea that our pur- pose is not to get ahead of other people, but to get ahead of ourselves. To get ahead of ourselves, we must begin to break our own record-we must outstep our yesterday's with to- day's, we must bear our own trials more beautifully than we ever dreamed we could, we must whip the temper inside and out as it has never been whipped before, we must give as we have never given before of our time and energy and inspirations, and we must do our work with more force and a finer finish that we ever thought possible. If we can chart such a course with worthwhile at- tainable goals not too far in the future, then we have in mind an educational program that includes the idea of getting ahead of ourselves. Sincerely, Clifford F. Shambaugh Superintendent LEE R. DICKERSON President With Lee R. Dickerson serving as president, the Board of Education gives tree time in determining the general policies and various programs of the school with the help and ad- vice of the superintendent. The budget is a major problem and authorizing expenditures, setting up salary schedules and a much-needed building program, often keeps these public minded men at meetings until the midnight hour. But to make se- cure the educational interests of the students is the goal ofthe civic-mind- ed board. -l-hey Lead Us lzorevva rd OTTO T. BOYD ROY L. TOMPKINS NEIL T. ROGERS SAMUEL F. UNSWORTH 5 l WILLIAM J. WRIGHT, Principal A. B. Whittier College M. A. University of Southern California Senior High Boys' Counselor DEL WARD, Principal AB. and M.A. Arizona State M.S. in Education University of Southern California Junior High Boys' Counselor For most of us this school year has slipped away all too rap- idly. We have been very busy with school work and student projects. Those who have given so readily of themselves in carrying out school activities have gained in friendships and loyalties to school and classmates. We have built on to the traditions and ideals, established through the years, that give our school distinction and character. Now those who are leaving will carry with them some meas- ure of that distinction and character and a rich collection of memories that will always spellfAlma Mater. We wish them success and those of us who return next year will renew our efforts to keep the banners flying. WILLIAM J. WRIGHT, Principal Downey Senior High School Qui Principals and Deans As we glance through the pages of this ex cellent yearbook, we have an opportunity of preserving the happy memories of the school year which is now history. We have had trying times, but have come through the year in a characteristic Viking spirit. We started the year with crowded con- ditions which hampered our studies, and throughout the term we had a building program in progress to make way for future expansion. I wish to thank the student body for the way they have helped put on the many activities this year. There were the assemblies, the Open House night, the operetta, the MOthers'-Daugh- ters' annual tea supervised by Miss Gwendolyn Flack, and other such events upon which we now look with fond memories. All these events would have been failures had it not been for the willing cooperation of the Junior high school students and their able teachers. DEL WARD, Principal Downey Junior High School MRS.

The Homecoming dance, held December 5, was sponsored and planned by the seniors. This climaxed the football season. Crowning the king and queen attracted many students, as well as a crowd of former graduates who enjoyed an evening of dancing at the Old Alma Mater. Leaving their books and classes behind them for a day, the seniors celebrated the annual Ditch Day by travel- ing to mountains and beaches. Talent was not lacking the l948 class as was proved by the play, George Washington Slept Here, given April l5 and l6. The Fuller family of the play sent the audience into gales of laughter and left them well pleased. The talent assembly, March 3, was a program of musical numbers and comedy which also brought entertainment to the high school. Climaxing the activities was the prom planned by the juniors, the graduation functions, the baccalaureate, the senior tea, and the commencement exercises. The senior year will be long remembered as just a sample of the many happy school days of the class of '48.

A big moment for the junior came when they received their class rings and pins at the beginning of the year. The rings, gold with black trimming and a Viking head, were proudly displayed to friends. For the annual talent assembly which gave some close competition to the seniors' the juniors chose an auditorium show. -M sw- l4Mary Barb, Thelma Baldwin, Thelma F Anderson, Barbara Bair, Audrey Bancyzk 24Colleen Arderri, Shirley Adams, Jac- queline Berry, Beverly Bartlett, Jeanette Azbell, Joyce Bauwens 3-Robert Bennett, Joe Bell, John Bazen Luciane Aguirre, John Aldridge Row Row Row Row Row Row Row Row Row l-Diann Boggs, Ann Clapp, Jacqueline Chadwick, Phyllis Brown 2-Carlene Boesen, Leora Colclosure, Shirley Bloxham, lrmaleen Brame, Audrey Bojanower 3-Donald Chapman, Thomas Berry, Lee Buck, Al Broward, William Christy, Ralph Clark l--Mary Favorit, Donna Fanta, Anita Momisarotf, Barbara Fox, Teresa Cotton, 3-Pat Enders, Virginia Ellis, Barbara El- more, Wanda Deatan, Jacqueline Dawsow 3fJoe Garcia, Bruce Friewald, James Finnegan, Gerald Dodd, Don Fergason, Lynn Cook l-Don Gunderson, Gary Gray, Harry Granillo, Scott Harris 2-Phyllis Hamilton, Elizabeth Hanly, Patricia Hawkins, Patricia Gilmour 3hEsther Guerrero, Marjorie Gibson, Betty Hansen, Rena Hakker, Nadine Hambarian, Mary Hendron a-an-.1 w-ma..

Two members of the class have the distinction twice a year to serve on the student body officers nominating committee. The class president is a member of the Student Council and the treasurer of the Council first semester is always a sophomore. This year the second semester Council secretary came from this class too. Five faculty members aided them in their activities as o class and helped them choose a ring and pin. These advisers were John W. Mercer, teacher of science and mathematics, Mrs. Karyn Sanders, dean of girls, Mrs. Jane Walta, English instructor, and Miss Alice Tucker, teacher of life science. For the first time in the history of the shcool, the Girls' League sponsored a sopohomore girls' tea to acquaint the girls with the organizations and clubs within the school. Representatives from each of the organizations were pres- ent to explain rules and standards, pines and symbols. The tea gave the sophomore girls a chance to meet some of the senior and junior leaders and to plan a course that would make them eligible ta join some of the clubs in which they might be particularly interested. And now, as next year's upper classmen, many have already found a place in leadership and will be the ones to acquaint the coming-in class with the Senior high.

English, gym, social studies, and science are required sub- jects for the eighth grade while they have their choice of one elective chosen from homemaking, glee club, shop, band, orchestra, art and library. Mr. Harry Rose, Miss Frances Elwell, Mr. Joseph Lamont, Mr. Seymour Watts, Mrs. Nanee Prince and Mr. Harold Lar- son, sponsores of the eighth grade, did an excellent job. The eighth grade, although they had no specific offices, were very capably represented on Student Council and Girls' League. Several eighth grade girls also assisted Mrs. Pearl Pickens in the library. They had an excellent showing in the talent assembly at the end of the first semester and helped to produce the op- peretta. I During the Junior High playday, in which all the' girls in Junior High participated, the eighth gradegirls made o grond showing to prove they not only have a good scholastic stand- ing but athletic playing ability oswell.

The motto was a girl for every boy but the only trouble was that there were six boys left over. Advising this bright up-and-coming class were: Mrs. Helen Roberts, Miss Dorothy Simms, Miss Evelyn Sharp, Mr. Earl George, and Mr. Eli Obradovich. Anyone interested in radio-broadcasting? Then con- tact Miss Dorothy Simms whose social living class pre- sented an outstanding feature for the Open House pro- gram. lt was called Skip the Scoop and was produced as ar adio program would appear to the audience. Another teacher to see is Mrs. Helen Roberts. Her class broadcast the main news events of the yea r. Incorporating a method of self-government in their classes were Mrs. Helen Roberts, Miss Dorothy Simms, and Earl George. The classes elected their own officers and held busi- ness meetings twice a week. They collected money for CARE packages and hearing about Mr. Joseph Walker Raymond's work among the Indians, these charitable students sent him funds for his work.

As each girl who enters high school is a member, the goal of the club is to bring about a better understanding among its members. The installations were just two of the highlights of the club's activities The first installotion in the fall was carried out in 0 friendship garden theme with baskets of flowers and chains that reached from the officers on the stage to the members in the oudience. The theme of the second installation was o patriotic one. lt had red, white,, and blue crepe paper hangfngs and peach blossoms to decorate the stage. The Mother-Daughter Teo wos a huge success. Mothers' Garden was the theme and it was planned very nicely both in the auditorium and the gymnasium. Junior League During the first semester the very first activity of President Sue Jennings and her cabinet was to plan a get acquainted tea for the 80 new girls and women teachers. Representatives from various clubs attended the tea, too. A drive for Junior Red Cross membership was the next activity after a meeting at Montebello. At the meeting a safety campaign was started. ln December the League officers planned a drive for gift boxes which resulted in the sending of IOO boxes to Asia and Europe and compliments from the Red Cross director. In January, a Friday afternoon tea for new girls and women teachers was held in the teachers room with two representatives from each grade and some of the league officers acting as hostesses. An average of eight new girls attend each tea. After the second semester elections an installation with a patriotic theme was held, and Rosalie Mitchell was installed as Girls' League president. New officers attended a Junior Red Cross meeting at East Whittier at which Cynthia White was elected secretary. To be elected to office a girl must give a short talk at the Red Cross meeting. The two winning girls become secretary and president Rosalie Mitchell Sue Jennings for a term. Miss Gwendolyn Flack, adviser l Girls' League and Student Council officers served as hosts and hostesses at the Open House program. Girls' League also sponsored a movie on good grooming. Over SOO girls and the mothers attended the Mother and Daughter Tea, the most important proiject of the year. Come to the Fair was the theme.

So much interest in photography was shown in the Junior high that the shool supplied some new equipment in the way ot photography supplies. The dark room, however, at the Junior high has not been completed. Beverly Nelson and Caleb Wade have made the Camera club a functioning organization.

Hardest pressed of all the editors were Anita Sichler and Shirley Thiele, who had the Herculean task of planning and putting this year-book together. Not to be overlooked by the passing limelight, Barbara Nielson, pen-scratching cartoonist of the staff, deserves a lot of credit because she wore her lily-white fingers into solid bone and muscle wielding a pen and scissors all period. Dishing out assignments by the score to her enthusiastic underlings, was Wilma Dickerhoff, copy editor of ye publi- cation, These apostles labored frantically over annual copy and at times batted out things for the Norseman.

During sixth period, five days a week, the editors, Sue Petterson and Jackie Jones, and students work on the Junior Norseman which comes out every Wednesday. lt is really a job to get out a paper.

With the help of Johnnie Bazen, Mr. Seitzler organized the Machinists club. The membership is limited to those boys taking shop. They meet one afternoon a week after school and plan the club's activities. Presenting a Christmas Cantata, The Babe of Bethlehamf' was one of the combined glee clubs projects. Di- rected by Rudy Cooper, Music director, the cantata was given in an assembly and for the public. Also at Christmas time the chorus filled the halls with Christmas spirit, singing songs. The mixed chorus entertained sev- eral at the Downey clubs and organi- zations with their singing during the year, The annual spring concert was prr sented ta the public April 27. Both the bays' glee club and the girls' par ticipated with the mixed chorus also presenting several numbers.

The play evolves about an urban coup'e who buy a dilapidated rural house in Pennsylvania, only to almost lose it and then have it finally saved by a penniless rich uncle. Of course there are many situations and complications arising during this time, but the curtain dosed on a happy household, Greatly enjoyed by all who saw It, the ploy both the cast and audience.

Robinson When two young college girls decide to travel to Paris by themselves, anything can happen. Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, the junior class play, tells of the amusing and entertaining adventures of Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kimbrough, the authors of the story, on their trip to Europe. Barely out to sea, the girls are embarrassed to find that they both have a safety pocket. This does not stop them, however, and they merrily continue on their voyage with Cornelia coming down with the measles just before docking. ln Paris, despite the insults of Cornelia's dramatics teacher, the girls continued to send the audience into gales of laughter with their antics. Despite several weeks of hard work after school, the cast directed by Miss Leota Haas, dramtics teacher, enjoyed their work in producing the play. With the aid of student director, Elaen Neale, and the stage, make-up and costume helpers, the play was successfully presented November l9 and 20, in the school auditorium. 4 V ' 'fbi ESQ ? f 1 F ik Top-Talented Cornelia Bottom-Measles disguised Left-The Skiners Right-Good night!

This was the itle bestowed on Russell Rosie Rosendahl, right half. Other sports such as track and baseball are included in his lists of favorites. Outstanding playing ability and sportsmanship on his part were seen in the Huntington Beach game, even though we lost. Not only in this game, but throughout the season, it was plain to see that Russell really deserved this honor given to one player each year. During the football season a player of the week was also chosen. Out- standing playing ability in the game just played was the requirements for this honor. Players ot the week are as follows: Fred Moxley, tor the St. Anthony and Anaheim games.: Russell Rosendahl for the Huntington Beach game, Jim Blair, Orange, Paul Broward, Fullerton.: Eugene Stowers, Newport Harbor, and Toby Capalbo for the Santa Ana game.

The opener with the Cougars from Citrus ended with the home team coming out from under the 26-6 defeat hopeful. Seven games followed in rapid succession with equally dis- tressing results. Spectacular catches by Paul Broward and Fred Moxley, combined with the bullet-like passes of Jim Russell and Toby Capalbo, made it possible for the Norsemen to mass their meager total. With the aid of a line and the courage of their convic- tions, Gene Rogers, Russell Rosendahl, and Jack Russell, full, right and left halts, punched holes in the opponents' line for gains of five and ten yards at a try. Even though it was a tough-luck year for them, the tel- lows were still able to play as hard and clean as possible all through the season. lt was generally conceded that the spirit and sportsman- ship displayed was a fine example of bearing up under overwhelming odds, but the team couldn't have done nearly as well as it did without the student support. Many Down- ey rooters sat through a driving rain for two hours at the Anaheim game only to see their team lose. Even if the team wasn't a championship one, the audience certainly was.

Tom Brown, snagging a beautiful pass for possession of the ball, went over for Downey's lone tally. The B's second game, with the St. Anthony Saints, chalked up another win, the score remaining l3-O. Points were made by Jae Garcia and Clarence Wright. Jim Hagey kicked the extra point. ln spite of the score this was a nip-and-tuck game. A heartbreaker! The B's lost to the Huntington Beach Oilers with l2-6 score. Clarence Wright carted the ball for Downey's 6 points. Another win! Retribution! The B's sank Orange Panthers 6-O. Clarence Wright toted the ball for Dawney's single touch-down. The Norseman juniors' game with the Indians, on the Indian reservation, proved fatal far Downey. l2-O was the score. Downey's B's played one of their most out- standing games. The B's were scalped, but not without a good fight. Up again! A win over the Newport Harbor Sailors. The score was 7-O, with Clarence Wright carrying the ball. Their was suspenses as the ball rested on the New- port Harbor two-yard line, then a cheer as it was pushed across. Down ance again! The final game, and defeat for Downey! The Santa Ana Saints dropped the B's-but only after a hard-fought game, 26-l2. The B's gave the Saints a real scare when a pass from Jerry DeMalen to Rad Bigelow spurred 80 yards for a touch-down. All the boys turned in performances to the satisfaction of Coach Trealor. Their top-notch playing brought them a near-to-the-top rating and a series of thrilling games. CC OCDEEDGH A slow start probably accounted for the C's fatal first game with the Anaheim Colonists. The opposing team pushed over l3 points, while Downey's C's falied to score at all. Downey's game with the Orange Panthers proved to be a great improvement over the one with the Colonists. At the end of the game the C's rejojiced in the 6-O score. On a blocked punt Downey took the ball deep into the tourists territory for the rest of the game. On the five yard line the C's spread was called. Doug Maclsaac, taking a bad pass from center, threw to Bucky Hernandez who scored the lone six points. Stopped again! Downey was scalpedl The Fullerton Indians pranced through the grueling game, which produced two casualties and finished with a 25-O score over the Downey C's with Ronald Broward suffering a cut eye and Nash Rodriquez coming out with an injured leg. Downey had revenge as the Norse C's tripped the Covina Colts, 6-O Although beautiful passing by Maclsaac and Hernandez set the C's up in scoring position many times, the ball was pushed across the goal but once. Using a double and single wing back, the Indians played top-notch ball, and baffled the Viking C's on their passing and running attacks. Their line was very powerful and provided fine interference. Although the C's didn't do as well as their brother B's, they played hard and stood along side the brother A's. There is fine material in this team and Downey should profit by it next year. The captain for this season was Doug Maclsaac.

When the whistle blew with the Vikings two points ahead, the Newport gym shook with Downey's cheers. But the next week, it was the same old story. Hopeful rooters glumly watched Santa Ana trample on their boys as all thetother teams had done. The Viking -one-game winning streak petered out, leaving the scene as dar' as ever. 1 Don Raine, with an altitude of 6 feet quite a few inches that made him basketball natural, and Gil Chavez, who sparked the team's morale and led their drives, were about even baskets scored as the season ended, Other first string men were Dellas Pearce, Jim Blair, and Eugene Rogers. Though they might have finisher' last in the league, the Downey Unfc' high school is proud of their basketbal' players, and the unfailing good sports' manship and undaunted fighting spir' Other Downey teams, even if they wir more games, will remember the tear' of '48 as one of the best.

Gene Stowers seemed to have a talent tor getting into scrapes but most ofthe fouls lwe're proud to sayl were called in his favor. Gene made quite a tew points in the process, and he and Jerry DeMaIen finished with just about the same number of points scored in league play. Jerry, it might be said, never missed the basket if he could get in front of the foul line with the ball. He specialized in dribbling down and dropping the ball in as he went by. There was nothing to brag about, admittedly, in the Bees' season, but nobody can say they ever gave up or pulled an intentional foul lat least without apologizing afterwardsl. Every game they played was hard fought, clean, and fast, and they always gave the other team a run for their money.

On the short end of the score again, the D's could not resist the powerful Indians first at- tack, but in the next game, the lndians were practically scalped themselves with a Zl-i3 score. The Anaheim Colonists defeated the Down? D's second game and the Huntington Beach Oilers proved to be not much better than the first. The D's were dropped 24-8. The game with the Orange Panthers panned out in the some fashion as the Oiler game which Downey lost 22-l7. After dropping their ninth fracas to the Newport Harbor Sailors, the Viking D's ended their i947-48 season. The score at the final whistles was 3l-7. Though at times little heard of, the Vikina D's put their all into their season and played well. Cees After being clipped by the Huntington Beach C's, the Downey C quintet bounced back to submerge the Orange Panthers, 27-22. In the Huntington Beach game, they were pounded all the way. Expert ball handling by Huntington Beach proved to be their down- fall, but even under heavy pressure and step- ping out front to highlight the Norse scoring, Raymond Cabrera, scored lf-'l points. The C's iefoiced in 40-lO score. Ending the i947-i948 season, the C's drop- ped the Newport Harbor Sailors. The C's broke iooe in the beginning and pounded the hosts tor 24 points in the first half. Again Ray- mond Cabrera set the pace for the C's by dropping a nice I5 points. Some of the finest basketball material went into this team, and the little-heard of C's met with Coach Tom Buckles' satisfaction and with that of the fans. Next year's teams should reap the profits of this year's experience.

At the time this was being written they were just enter- ing into their second round of league play with the seemingly remarkable score of six wins, four losses. Suffering greatly for want of Don Raine, tall, blond mainspring of the team, they really knuckled down to facts and tried to make up for the football and basketball seasons. Under the direction of Coach Nelson Treloar the team at this rate seems sure of placing very near the top in the league finals.

Smitheran, Paul Broward, Lea Sharp, Ben Bouldin, Jackson Rarick Eugene Rogers Don Widmark Coach Edward C Bragg Under the guidance of Coach William H. Smitheran the Viking tracksters enjoyed a good year-not a championship team, to be sure, but well above average. The Varsity had some good points, some bad. The best by far was Gene Rogers' shot putting, which was undoubtedly the best this olc' school has seen. Gene's toss of 49.4 in the league finals will be some- thing for future putters to aim at. The B's, placing second in the league, had the best all-around team, in the opinion of Coach Smitheran. The 660 and 50 yard dash were what won the meets, and the relay work was good and fast. There was a bright star shining in the Cee division, growing brighter at every meet. Richard Weber, now holder of the Cee record and sure to crack more when his exponents climb in sophomore, junior and senior years. Track draws o fair crowd of rooters each year to watch the Vikings try their mettle against worthy otagonists.

That's that Coach W. H. Smitheran said of the '48 Bees who captured second place in the Sunset League finals-- more than any Viking team has done since we joined the league. Called the best broad jumper in the league, Joe Limon Set the pace in a number of firsts. Doug Sundman and Louis Aguirre in the 660, and Charlie Carpenter in the high jump were always something the coach could rely on. All in all, the Bees bave the best performance of l947-48. Let's hope next year's crap of cindermen can do as well. Qv 'I g Cee Team Though the B's averaged a better all-around team than either Var- sity or C, the feather-weights had a couple of hot events that really show promise of a good '49 season, Joe Limon, junior, has been called one of the best broadjumpers in the league. Joe's hops are never crows, and often eagles-at least in soaring long distances. But to Coach Smitheran, Joe was o bird of paradise. The other miracle man is Richard Weber, a frosh who really makes things hum in the 660. Dick can be the best middle-distance man DUHS has ever seen, say Coach Smitheran.

Three time losers to a superior Cardinal team the Vikings lost none of their fight of desire to win even when they played their first home game before a mighty crowd of fifteen people. After football was over and basketball yet to come, water polo came into its own with many people coming to see the games. With the return of nearly all the lettermen next year the championship will begin to loom bigger on the horizon, as the Bee team will yield some players who should aid the varsity greatly.
