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

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

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
