4 s in I I EL ESCALON IQSS PUBLISHED BY THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS ESCALON UNION HIGH SCHOOL ESCALON M W4 CALIFORNIA DE DICATION We, the Senior Class of 1938, dedicate this edition of the EL ESCALON to our new principal, Mr. Rivers, who has by being a friend to each of us taught us the true value and Worth of friendship. PRINCIPAIJS MESSAGE To the members of the El Escalon staff I propose a toast: May their numbers increase until their children and their children's children cover the earth, for they have learned the precious lesson of cooperation, the lesson of loyalty to one another and a task to be done: the lesson of democracy, that of give and take- may their years be full ot happiness, and all oi their lives be a round ot service to their fellow men, their lives an example to future members of the Escalon Union High School.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Our purpose is to present to you through a few brief verbal candid camera shots a short review of the four years which the senior class has spent here. Time: 1934. Scene: High School Auditorium. Actors: Forty Students. There they sit-big and small, blonde and brunette, bold and trembling, eager cmd shy-each one looking at the school motto carved over the auditorium stage, Enter to Learn, Go Forth to Serve. A brief follow-up snap two months later in the same room finds them more at home and self-assured, holding a meeting conducted by their president, Doris Palmer. 1935-Only a few brief glimpses of this year are afforded. At a class meeting we see some new faces and miss some of the old. Harry Sexton stands behind the gavel. 1936-As the class grows in importcmce, more and more scenes are found: Harold Ellis conducting a class meeting: Billy Stroble, Mary Powers, and Gladys Hagstrom playing leads in an exciting scene from The Arrival of Kitty g a junior girl proudly showing her Iunior ring to her friends. 1937-More shots are shown, some realized, some still imaginary. Carl Gushe has taken Harold Ellis' place as leader in the meetings: also shown are pictures ofa snow fight, a banquet attended by Iuniors and Seniors, a football team with Al Sorrenti as captain, a mummy case surrounded by a part of the cast of the Senior play, The Mummy and the Mumpsf' They are, left to right: Curley Jones, Billy Stroble, Bruce Moorehead, Mary Powers, Iune Golvin, and Wanda Britt. Last of all we see a smaller group than the one which gathered four years ago-a group which is again looking at the motto as they had on that first day, but now looking at it for the last time as undergraduates. e8x C 9 m E A Z w H A W t 2 6 8 U H H 5 D 3 w O w : 5 2 E 'J 2'5 220 3 Hgggiai m mouggggq mgvmwmw-Q g2uMwW2uw QQQSSRQE3 .qi 5155 -U . 3 m.-.nap-,bi -4 moon .

JUNIOR CLASS ln our first glimpse of the lunior class, we see a meeting held to elect class officers. At the end of the meeting we find that Donald Barton has been chosen president: Pete Hall, vice-presidentp Barbara Probert, secretaryp and Edwin Heg- wer, treasurer. We see Mr. Whitlock, and remember him as our class adviser. We see now a picture of the green turf where, in the fall, many of the boys in our class drew such excited yells from the girls. Iames Hanson, Edwin Hegwer, Pete Hall, Louie Petrucci, Wilbur Reynolds, and Edgar Trager were lettermen. Wallace Nelson was chosen all Modesto Sub-league center, and was elected captain of the team for next year. As the pictures flash by we see scenes from the operetta, Rose of the Danube, in which many juniors played a prominent part. Reno Bresso was the king of Eurolaniag Dorothy Degerman, the queen: and Lucille Roche their lovely daugh- ter, Rose. Edwin Hegwer was the villainous count who almost ruined them, and Donald Barton was the Hollywood producer who put them in the movies. Out in the hallway we see Leona Dilley, Barbara Probert, Esther Fischer, David Cowles, and Clarence Safidall selling candy for the C. S. F. Near the end of this reel covering the year's activities were pictures of the Iunior class play, in which Dorothy Degerman, Reno Bresso, and Verna Weaver played the leads. You may chuckle or roar, as the mood suits You, over mem- ories of this very successful comedy, A Fair Exchange. The last scene in our little drama is a fitting one. We see the Iuniors on May 20 entertaining the Seniors at the annual spring banquet. The scene is Hawaiian. Everyone has a lei about his neck and is enjoying the delicious food. The picture fades out with this scene, and we leave you to dream of active, IHODDY days. 1103 9i?'? Top Row: A. Pope, R. VonGlahn, K. Black, F. Gonzales, E. Persano, Beatrice Frisk, F. Ninon-uevo, E.

Miss Reekman is class adviser. The class has entered enthusiastically into school activities. Five sophomores, Arthur Adrian, Wesley Firch, Ruth Anderson, Roberta von Glahn, and Auclrie Pope have been on the C. S. F. The class was well represented in the operetta, Rose of the Danube, both in chorus and principal parts. Those having prin- cipal parts were: Don Riesenbeck, Walter Powers, Rosemary Murphy, Peqqy Lehman, and Betty Cooper. FRESHMAN CLASS As our Freshman year comes to a close, we review in retrospect many fond memories and pleasant associations. At our first class meeting, Charles Powers was chosen as our leader: Kenneth Rosa as viceepresidentp Helen Thompson as secretary: Phillip Hauck as treas- urer. Because Phillip moved, Iohn Knepp assumed his responsibility very cap- ably. We were very proud of one of our classmates, Charles Powers, who attained membership in the C. S. F. Top Row: L.

E E 331 North Market St., Escalon, California, May 25, 1958 Dear Wanda: I'm so sorry that you and Harry couldn't come to our reunion but Detroit is a long ways away. The reunion was held in Roy Hyson's New Ambassador Hotel in downtown Escalon, and nearly everyone was there. Kenny Cooper, the new Idol of the Air Lanes, and his band furnished the music, and those three charming debutantes, Esther, Iune, and Gladys, put on the floor show. Needless to say, I enjoyed the banquet most of all. And no wonder, for Bob A. is the head cook at the hotel. He must have learned something from Miss Reek- man's cooking class. Mary Powers told me that she was still taking P. G. at E. U. H. S, so she could be near Miss Stockholm. Now for a shock. Bill S. had to give up skiing. Yes, Edith insisted, and he had no choice. Vera has finally succeeded in gain- ing Harry's attention, for Belva's interest is all centered upon her husband Albert R. and their twin sons. Lenore and Frank Adrian are raising cattle in the Burwood district. Ploy Trager is wearing a diamond purchased by Harold E. from the H. Martin Ieweliy Co. You know Harold is president of the Escalon Bank now. You'l1 laugh to hear that Bruce, now head track coach at Cal, has finally persuaded Ed H. and Opal to transfer from Stanford to Cal. Mary Silveira and Pat C. are expected to win honors in the Olympics to be held in Farmington this year-Pat in swimming, and Mary in the high hurdles. I haven't time to more than mention the rest. Iuanita is a fashion expert here in Escalonp Stewart Erskine and Lena W. are dancing teachers in South Africa: Evelyn G. is an old maid school teacher, and is she strict! Oh yes! Curly has a hayseed orchestra that he thinks is tops, and you must have heard Buck Mini and his two side-kicks, Al S. and Kay C. on the radio. I guess that's all now, except for the best and most exctiing news of all which I have been saving for last. Carl and I have finally figured a way for me to be more than his first cousin. I am now Mrs. Carl Willard Gushe. lsn't that thrilling? Do write and tell me how Harvey's Udell Speedster is selling. Bye for now, GENE. 1112: ACTIVITIES Mary Powers, Bruce Moorehead, Alfred Sorrenti, Gene Jackson, Doris Palmer, and Opal Bergen. STUDENT BODY As we look through the newsreel covering the past year's important events of the Student Body, we can see that this is one of the Student Body's most success- ful years. The Student Body Officers are as follows: Al Sorrenti, President: Gene Iackson, Vice-President: Opal Bergen, Secretary: Bruce Moorehead, Treasurer: Mary Powers, Editor of El Escalon : Doris Palmer and Gladys Hagstrom, Editors of the Hi-Booster : Don Riesenbeck, Boys' Athletic Manager: Frances Gonzales, Girls' Athletic Manager: Harry Sexton and Peggy Lehman, Yell Leaders. The Student Body has now the largest membership it has ever had. This or- ganization has worked in excellent harmony throughout the entire term. Every enterprise which this group has undertaken has been a success because of the splendid cooperation of both students and teachers: as a result the Student Body has never before been so financially successful. Assembly programs have been given by the different classes and organiza- tions in school. Various other interesting and educational programs have been given by speakers and entertainers. Early in the year Paul Cheak gave a lecture on the subject, Health, and he also entertained the Student Body with many skillful stunts and tricks. On November 10, Audrey Sheller, one of the only three marimba artists on the Pacific Coast, played a number of selections on her marimba. Warren Atherton gave a Washington's Birthday address. On March 11 Mr. Armstrong, president of the Armstrong College, gave the Student Body a lecture on the subject, Planning for a Career. e145 . . . ,,,.,,. ..., .-- ,. --.-..,. , .,.. ...L . .- .W Esther Schutz, Ruth Anderson, Mary Powers, Floy Trager, Wanda Britt, Mrs. Harbers, Doris Palmer, Peggy Lehman. GIRLS' LEAGUE All the girls in the school belong to the Girls' League, the purpose of which is social experience and public welfare. The officers for this year were as follows: President, Doris Palmer: Vice-Presi- dent, Gene Iacksong Secretary, Wanda Britt: Treasurer, Mary Powers: Point Keeper, Esther Schutzp Reporter, Ruth Anderson: Yell Leader, Peggy Lehman. Mrs. Harbers was adviser, and Mrs. Bergen was Mother for the girls. ln the middle of the year, another election had to be held because two of the officers left this school. Wanda Britt was made president, Barbara Probert took her place as secretary, and Audrie Pope was chosen as reporter. The first picture on the screen shows the girls, all dressed as tramps, at the annual Hi-links. The party was unusually successful, because each class, as well as the teachers, gave an excellent stunt. In November, representatives were sent to the Girls' League Convention at Oakdale. Escalon was there honored by being chosen as a member of the Reso- lutions Committee. The year's biggest project was the sending of small boxes of Christmas gifts to the hospital at Mare Island. The last social event of the year was the Mother and Daughter Reception, held in the spring. The theme of this party was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The last meeting at which pins were awarded and new officers installed was perhaps the most impressive event of the year. lt was a beautiful candlelight service in which each incoming officer pledged herself to fulfill the duties of her office to the best of her ability. 4215s Standin z Miss Mancini, Wesley Firch, Clarence Sandall, Leona Dilley, Gladys Hagstrom, June Golvin, David Cowles, Adrian :lien Andel, Frank Adrian.

Popl lust in time to catch a snap of Escalon's largest C. S. F.l With eleven members in the fall semester and twelve in the spring semester, the. C. S. F. has reached new heights and has become a very active organization. Highlights of their activities include a trip to Stockton to see the novel picture, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and a most successful picnic in the spring. On March 26 the candid camera found three members and their adviser attending the C. S. F. Regional Convention in Fresno. There were delegates from as far north as San Francisco and as far south as Bakersfield. At least three A's and one B are the requirements for membership. Upon being a member for six semesters, one is entitled to keep his gold torch pin. This year there are four proud owners of this pin-two seniors, Lenore Long' and Gladys Hagstrom, and two juniors, Clarence Sandall and Alice Lundquist. Lenore Long and Gladys Hagstrom have been members of this organization for four years, and are thus entitled to life membership in the C. S. F., a C. S. F. lamp, and a gold seal on their diplomas. v The candid camera found Clarence Sandall, Leona Dilley, Gladys Hagstrom, Iune Golvin, Adrian Van Andel, Esther Fischer, Barbara Probert, Ruth Anderson, and Arthur Adrian as members of the tall semester with their leaders, President Lenore Long, and Secretary Alice Lundquist. In the spring semester it found David Cowles, Frank Adrian, Gladys Hag- strom, Charles Powers, Audrie Pope, Lenore Long, Esther Schutz, and Arthur Adrian with Clarence Sandall as president and Roberta von Glahn as secretary. Alice Lundquist, also a member, was missed by the candid cameraman. I e162 Top: Scenes from Senior Play, The Mummy and the Mumps . Lower: Scene from Operetta, Rose ofthe Danube , DRAMATICS REVIEW The end of the year 1937 was marked by the brilliant performances of an all- star cast of the Seniorplay, The Mummy and the Mu1'nps, which was a hilari- ous tarce ot mistaken identity. Its setting was the most' exclusive girls' school in New England. The cast included Edwin -Long, Wanda Britt, Bruce Moorehead, Mary Powers, Bill Stroble, Iune Golvin, Opal Bergen, Martin lones, Gene Iackson, and Bob Anderson. Your reviewer noted the favorable 'and enthusiastic com- ments it received. ' ' The operetta of the year, Rose'of the Danube, presented March 18, was a delightful story of a bankrupt monarchy, whose patriots were ready to rebel, but which was financially and politically saved by the arrival ot a movie magnate, his family, and a cameraman., lt had a European setting with a Rose Festival as a background. The principals were Lucille Roche, Bruce Moorehead, Reno Bresso, Dorothy Degerman, Carl Gushe, Peggy Lehman, Don Reisenbeck, Donald Barton, Betty Cooper, Ed Hegwer, Walter and Charles Powers, Rosemary Murphy and Doris Palmer. Principals were assisted by the vocal and dancing choruses, and musical accompaniment by a small orchestra. lt was the musical hit of the year. Closing the season's dramatic successes, was the lunior play, A Fair Ex- change. N lt depicted the comical adventures of a mercenary Iew, whose love ot money' led him into a very undesirablehposition. The cast consisted of Dorothy Degerman, Verna Weaver, Reno Bresso, Dallas Fisher, Iames Buerer, Lucille Roche, Barbara Probert, Edwin Hegwer, and Louis Petrucci. In each case the castsvwere so well chosen, and the characters so ably por- trayed that it became apparent that there are a number of very promising ama- teur actors among the students of the High School. x 17 an Row Standing: Paul Holsinger, Mary Silveira, Miss Braun, Dorothy Degerman, June Galvin, Gladys Haqstrorn, Ed Long, Harold Ellis, AI Sorrenti, Bruce Moorehead.

The organization, Future Farmers of America, was introduced this year in connection with new vocational agricultural course. Each of the fifty boys en- rolled has had a project of which a record is kept. During the school term the boys pruned twenty acres of grapes, peach, and apricot trees. The livestock team won the Bain Day Livestock Trophy in the spring judging contests, and minor awards were also won by the dairy, poultry and tree teams. A trip to Davis and one to the San Francisco lr. Livestock Exposition were also included among the clubs' activities. At the end of the school term, F. F. A. emblem awards were given the five boys with outstanding records. BLOCK E The Block E, another activity which appears for the first time in the El Escalon, is a society made up of boys who have earned an A block in any sport. It has three purposes-to promote interest in athletics, to promote sportsmanship, and to raise money with which to buy athletic equipment and awards. To fulfill these purposes the society sponsored a bonfire rally during football season, held noon candy sales throughout the year, and held frequent meetings.

During the present season, our Cougars have risen from the cellar position, which they held last year, to second place which they share with Patterson High. Much of this success comes from the constant training which the boys received under the direction of Coach David Ruby, and also from the spirit shown by the school as a whole. This season, out of a total of nine games played, we won five, lost two, and tied two. The team also ran up a total of 74 points while they gave away only 46 points. The results of this year's schedule are as follows: Escalon 13 Linden .......... ,.. O Escalon ......., .....,. T uolumne ...,... O Escalon Ceres ........ ...... 3 3 Escalon ........ ....... H ughson ...... 6 Escalon ........ .... H ilmar ...... O Escalon Patterson ...... O Escalon Modesto ...... O Escalon ........ .... R ipon ..... 7 Escalon Alumni ............................,. O 'I'he outstanding players of this year were Al Sorrenti, halfbackp Wallace Nel- son, center: Iohn Carrico, guardg and Harold Ellis, end. The first three boys men- tioned also placed on the All-League team in their respective positions. The team will suffer a great loss by losing through graduation such lettermen as Willie Mini, Al Sorrenti, Harold Ellis, Ed Long, Iohn Carrico, and Carl Gushe. For the first time, a Pee-Wee team was organized this year. This team con- sisted of boys who weighed from 130 pounds down. The boys played three games, and managed to win one by a score of 6 to 0. The stalwarts of the team were Harry Taylor and Allen Rollins. The varsity played their most spectacular game of the year against Hughson. The score was 6 to 0 in favor of Hughson with five minutes to play. Our boys then opened up with a series of passes, and scored two touchdowns thus winning the game. The hardest fought game was the last game of the season. lt was played against Escalon's greatest rival, Ripon and a victory would have brought Escalon undisputed possession of second place in the league. The game was a close one, but in the end the Ripon boys proved superior. Next year's prospects for a winning team look good, although there will be a small loss in weight. We hope the boys will make up this loss by fighting hard. 442329 A BASKETBALL Top: J. Antrim, H. Seaquisl, J. Carrico, C. Gushe, E. Hegwer, D. Cowles. Boflom: Coach Ruby, K. Rosa, C. Mouradian, W.

Although the A team did not seem to fare so well, the B's made a very good record for themselves, finishing second in the league. Prominent members of the B team were: Wesley Haskell, who often thrilled the crowd by making long and difficult shots from the middle of the court: Frank Adrian, Guard: Ray- mond Cadlolo, Forward: and Louis Petrucci. All were good consistent players. Members of the A team were: Edwin Hegwer, Iohn Carrico, Harold Seaquist, Charles Mouridian, and David Cowles. TRACK Our track team has been very successful this Year. The boys started the season with a bang by winning their first meet, which was held at Manteca. For this feat they received two beautiful trophies. At the annual track meet at Davis, the boys again put up a good performance. Although competing against twenty-three schools in the class C division, the team managed to get lO points which put them in a tie for fifth place. The point winners in the meet were: Wilbur Reynolds, first place in the High lumpy Alfred Sorrenti, fourth place in the 440 Yard Dash. Both boys received medals for their efforts. Outstanding mem- bers and high point winners in their respective classes were: High lump, Ray- mond Cadlolo, Emmanuel Pranceschetti, Wilbur Reynolds: Dashes, Alfred Sor- renti, Raymond Cadlolo, and Louis Petruccip Hurdles, Peter Hall: Football Throw, lames Hanson, Broadjump, Harold Se-aquistg Distance Races, Edwin Hegwer and Bruce Cochran. TENNIS There must have been something unusual in the air this year because more students were interested in tennis than have been in the past five years. Under the direction of Mr. Whitlock, a tournament was arranged for both the boys and the girls. The tournament consisted of a number of rounds in which the winner of each round played until he was defeated. Those who played in the semi-finals were Iames Hanson, Don Barton, and Edwin Long. The final match was played between Edwin Long and Donald Barton and was won by Barton, who thereby became boys' tennis champion. e252 GIRLS' SPORTS Here are some of the scenes which l remember from the review of girls' sports of this year. The first game of the season was speedball. There were flashes of many exciting games-games played under the direction of Miss Mancini, seventh period gym class teacher, and Miss Stockholm, eighth period teacher. Snaps taken in the spring showed girls playing tennis. l remember a few very good backhand strokes, but more very bad swings and misses-which the cam- era caught: however, the last action pictures showed cr marked improvement in the girls' ability-an improvement which will probably be even more noticeable next year, since this is the first year tennis for many of the girls. Kathryn Black and Frances Konrath seem to be the players who are heading toward champion- ships. How well did those pictures of the girls doing the duck walk and other muscle bending exercises recall the groans and moans which filled the halls with melody during those days. One of the most important spring sports which was shown was basketball. The other important sport was baseball. Many thrilling games were shown. Numerous good plays in volleyball were shown. The girls who seemed to be outstanding in girls' sports for the year Were: Wanda Britt, Dorothy Degerman, Mary Powers, Peggy Lehman, Lenore Long, Evelyn Altamirano, Violet Petrucci, Marjorie Seaquist, Gladys Vilen, Catherine San Iulian, Gene Jackson, Audrie Pope, Olga Vallerino, Frances Gonzales, Leona Dilley, Floy Trager, Lena Wakefield, Helen Altamirano, Alice Lundquist, Bernita Cadlolo. 44 26 wb f 4 l Leona and Gladys playing baseball. 2.
