Eliason, Mr. R. W. Dawson, Chairman, and Mr. Freeman Reid, Clerk. Under the able trusteeship of these men we have had many improvements in our school, two of which were the awarding of contracts for the construction of the new swimming pool and the erection of the four quonset huts for the use of agriculture classes, showers, and storage. They have granted permission for new lights on the baseball field, and are acquiring additional property for the school's use. They are also planning for a new track and the enlarging of the football field. We, the students of Escalon Union High School, have appre- ciated the time and effort that these trustees havegiven us, and we would like to thank each one of them for their excellent work again this year.

W Mm M yy J CUSTODIANS AND BUS DRP ERS We certainly owe a lot to our bus drivers, who wait so patiently during the mornings that we happen to get up late. Many won- derful times have been spent on the busses to and from school, These bus drivers have also made it possible tor us to attend the many out of town activitiesuthat are so important to school spirit and morale. Our bus drivers are: Mr. Cohagan, driver of the Van Allen busy Mr. Palmer, driver of the new Farmington busy and Mr. Bishop, driver of the Burwood bus. Ralph Cohagan and Herman Palmer have been the custodians for the past several years, and are the ones who keep the lawns trim and maintain neat school grounds and do the many, many other jobs which help give our school its neat appearance out- side as well as inside.

SENIVR CLASS i-IISTOI' Four years ago on a beautiful fall day, 70 green and scared freshmen climbed the steps of Eski Hi. We started our freshman year with David Vieira leading us. On May 29th we were no longer green freshmen but know-it-all sophomores with Bill Blackmore as prexy. By the following Iune 7th, we thought We knew enough to move a grade higher, and we became jolly juniors. We had for the first time, a girl, Perryann Stickles Azevedo, as president and she did a swell job as our leader. Our junior play, Strictly Formal, went over with a big bang. We also honored the seniors with the annual junior-senior banquet. Another memorable occasion was the semi-formal Iunior Prom, which also honored the graduating class. Finally our destination had been reachedp we were now care-free seniors. We, the mighties, chose Bill Sparkman as our presidentp Valarie Peterson, vice- presidenty Wanda Palmer, secretary, and Roberta League, treasurer. We again showed our talent by presenting our senior play, Tattletale, under the patient direction of Mr. Lutz. Our senior advisors were Mr. Whitlock and Mr. Lutz. Our ditch day and dress-up day were held in the spring, and our snow party on February 23. The outstanding senior athletes were Norman Quistini, Bill Sparkman, L. D. Edwards, Ted Koch, Angelo Vieira, Manuel Loureiro, Bill Blackmore, lim Ed- wards and Leon Butler. Representing us in the scholastic field were Gail Speh, Wanda Palmer, David Vieira and George Gurrola. Of these, Wanda Palmer is a life member of the C.S.F. We, the seniors of 1948, can always look back to our four years in Eski High as days which were profitable, enjoyable and stimulating.

JUNIV R CLASS This year has been very outstanding for the junior class, even though we could not sponsor as many activities and dances as we had wished. But I know that everyone has enjoyed themselves under the leadership of Darlene Palmer, our first madarn president, with Iohn Wallace as vice-president, Dorothy Reichert. secretaryg and Pat Bender, treasurer. We are proud to have Carol Strand to represent our class on the C.S.F. Our outstanding athletes were Tino Farinelli, Richard Altamirano, and lack Hamada, who have capably demonstrated their school spirit in the line of sports. During the year we sponsored two dances and a skating party at Modesto which were very successful. With the help of Mr. Lutz, we produced the junior play The Skeleton Walks, and We wish to thank him very much for its success. We also honored the seniors by giving them a banquet on May 7, and a dance on May 21, which we hope the seniors will never forget. We can look back to this year and say that We had a lot of fun, and our class wishes to thank our jolly advisors, Miss Tonge and Mr. Bishop, for their cooperation. 1.

One of our outstanding class activities was the sponsoring of a dance after the basketball game with Hughson, to which Hughson was invited.

I know that we have our class advisors, Miss Cady and Mr. McGuire, to thank for the excellent year we have had. lt was through their hard Work and interest in us, that we have enjoyed a wonderful time as sophomores of '47 and '48. lv J. -1 fle-i..- - Y BACK ROW, left to right: N.

STUDENT BF DY Another year has elapsed and made history in our school with the following officers at the head ot the student body: Norman Quistini, president: Archie Roberson, vice-presidentg Frances Ott, secretary, and Alice Vilen, treasurer. Our assembly manager, George Gurrola, furnished the student body with many excellent programs from the National School Assemblies. Some of the pro- grams presented were: Happy Holly, a humorist, a puppet show which Mr. and Mrs. Bushe performed for usp Ted Parkinson, a lecturer on Indiag a Russian folk song group: and a picture and lecture on Hawaii. All of these programs were very well received by the audiences. School dances were Well attended this year due to the fact that our School Dance Band furnished most of the music for these dances with Norman Quistini and Io Ann Brickey as soloists. During the past year our yell leaders, Carrie Anna Vincent and Ernestine Ellis, have done a fine job of arousing and maintaining school spirit at all games and rallies.

STUDENT Cf UNCIL Twice a month the Student Council room served its intended use this past year by being the inner sanctum for student body business affairs. Norman Quistini sat at the head of the table as prexy. Other student body officers on the council were Archie Roberson, vice-presidentg Frances Ott, secretary: Alice Vilen, treasurerg and George Gurrola, assembly manager. Several important steps in school policy were taken by the Student Council this year. The G.A.A. and Copa de Oro organizations were admitted as mem- bers and given equal representation rights with other members. An improved system of athletic awards for boys' sports was worked out and adopted, and Student Council members sponsored a program intended to keep the campus neat and clutter-free. Another important step taken was the decision to allow the sponsoring organizations to retain all the profits from school dances instead of turning half over to the student body as was done in previous years. Ex-officio members of the Student Council were the following: Marily Ryd- quist, Hi-Boosterg Kathryn Iohnson, El Escalong Angelo Vieira, F.F.A.p Doris Pieini, G.A.A.g Leon Butler, Block E Society: Gail Speh, Copa de Oro: Dorothy Reichert, C.S.l:'.p Betty Oliver, Girls' League, Bill Sparkman, seniorsg Darlene Palmer, juniors: Tony Pinheiro, sophomores, and Gerald Prater, freshmen. The Student Council members feel that they have taken many steps forward in the making of Escalon High into a better school. We attribute -much of this progress to the able guidance of Mr. Rivers and Mr. Whitlock, and to the splendid cooperation on the part of the students of our school. BACK ROW, le!! to right: C.

Our first meeting was held in December under the direction of our new Ag teacher, Mr. Davis, who replaced Mr. Tarone at the end of the first semester. The two State Farmer candidates, Ioe Lopes and Norman Quistini, who applied for the degree last year, were awarded their gold pins at this meeting. The F.F.A. dance was held in February. This affair turned out as successful as expected with everyone enjoying himself immensely. The machinery now owned by the F.F.A. is estimated to be worth over 54,009 The new Farmal tractor, worth Sl,8OU, is one of the best pieces of equipment owned by the organization. This tractor was purchased in November, 1947, at a special rate for the F .F.A. Other machinery purchased was half interest with the school in a Chrysler tractor, and a new electric saw. The new Ag shop, which is located in the rear of the school, is a huge building which gives all the students a better opportunity to do their shop work. The officers, who were elected in May, 1947, are the following: Angelo Vieira, president: Homer Adams, vice-president: Norman Quistini, secretary: Denny Shackelton, treasure: George Gurrola, reporter: and Guido Agostini, sentinel. Two delegates were sent to the convention at San Louis Qbispo. They were Homer Adams and Martin lack from last year's class. The achievement trip for the fifteen boys with the highest standings in Ag, is something to which everyone is looking forward. The trip is expected to be into Mexico this year. Everyone should be proud of the F.F.A. chapter in Escalon as it is one of the outstanding chapters in the state. Most of the credit should go to Mr. Tarone, who is no longer with us. But we know Mr. Davis, our new instructor, will carry on the good work. V i BACK ROW, lei! to right: B. A. Good, V. Xing, I. Tune, B. Huntley, B. Thompson, M. I. Morrill, I. Linch, M. Rydquist, V.

The organization, as in previous years, sold hot dogs and cokes. The money raised was used to buy athletic outfits and miscellaneous equipment for our athletic teams. Equipment purchased has included two sets of jerseys: one for our football team, and one tor our basketball team. The society revised the point system for obtaining Block B's so that any boy participating in any sport would receive 5 points and points he made in a game would be added to the 55 also, a ceiling of 35 points was put on football, 10 points in basketball and 30 points in baseball. The organization was left with only five members from last year. They were Leon Butler, Guido Agostini, Tino Farinelli, Wayne King, and Richard Alta- marino. The rest of the members were sworn in this year. Our president, Leon Butler, was assisted by L. D. Edwards as vice-president, and Bill Sparkman as secretary-treasurer. The organization owes much of its success this year, as in years gone by, to our excellent coach and Block E advisor, Coach Lloyd Engel, for his valuable guidance. eeeeaes' BACK ROW, left to right: V.

GIRLS' JLEE The Girls' C-flee Club had almost seventy members this year and developed into an outstanding musical organization. At the beginning of the year Mr. Lutz was almost in despair because the group was so large and unwieldy. However, as time Went on, the sections were balanced and the singing of the girls became beautifully flexible and artistic. By the end of the year, the Glee- Club Was a musical unit that was an inspiration to all who heard it. An addition to the vocal program was the Girls' Sextette which became the good will ambassadors of the school by performing at community and social functions whenever school entertainment was needed, and they completely entranced their audiences whenever they sang. The personnel of the sextette consisted of Roberta League and Delores Couser, first sopranos: Alice Vilen and Carol Strand, second sopranosy Mary lean Trager and lune Jorgensen, altos. David Vieira was accompanist. ii... 'Aw J 4 13.31 ' fn-4' ' BACK ROW lei! lo right: Mr. Lutz, G. Allwein. R. Polhemus, D. Vieira, I. Bonetti, R. Byrd, D. Bookwcxlter, G. Coley, I. Rivers.

BOYS' GLEE The Boys' Glee Club, as usual, had a very changeable personnel because as the sports season changed, so did the glee club, since both activities took place during eighth period. Nevertheless, the boys gave a good account of themselves and held their own in the 'Mixed Chorus and did very Well as per- formers at the spring concert. The Boys' Glee Club as a whole has improved over that of last year and its tonal quality and reading ability was progressively better. Every type of music was sung ranging from a robust rendition Cwithout the help of Mr. Lutzl of Too Fat Polka to an impressive production of The Evening Star with the mixed chorus. All in all, the Boy's Glee Club contributed much to the enjoyment and appre- ciation of music to all concerned. , INSTRUMENTAL CHOIR - BACK ROW, leit to right: M. Carvalho, M. Ballance, B. I..

The choir consisted of advanced instru- mentalists desiring to play music in the concert style, and was very much in evidence at the plays, Sprinq Concert, Baccalaureate and Graduation. The Dance Band, organized by Mr. Lutz, which performed at most of the school dances became so popular that schools in other towns availed themselves oi its scintillating rhythms for their own dances. Everyone agrees that our Dance Band was a definite asset to the school and in the social activities oi the students. i v -vfw -.,,v. Y , YY t 4 4- l BACK ROW, lett to right: Donald Mueller, I.

V As usual during football season, the Band contributed much to the thrills and excitement of the games with half-time entertainments and with its assistance to the rooting section in the support of our team. All rallies saw the Band on hand to contribute its share to stimulating programs. ln addition to being an excellent marching and pep unit, the Band came into its own as a concert organization. This improvement was due in great measure to the challenge system whereby any bandsrnan who thought his musicianship had improved could challenge an advanced player to a playing contest, and if he won, was entitled to sit in the advanced chair and receive the corresponding grade. The Music Block E Award was also inaugurated this year. Students regis- tered in their third year of instrumental music and having averaged a B grade were eligible for this honor. During the year, twelve instrumentalists received their Music E's. The Band has brought honor and enjoyment to Escalon Hi, and everyone can be justifiably proud of this fine group.

PEP AND MUSIC We are very grateful to Carrie Anna Vincent and Ernestine Ellis tor their ability to instill plenty oi zip into our rooting section at games, and their un- tiring efforts to produce good rallies during the sport seasons. Their hard Work was not in vain, because the student body appreciates their labors more than Words can tell. Our three rnaiorettes, Patsy Bender, Martha Ott and Madeline Azevedo, have evolved many intriguing routines, intricate twirls and high stepping. This, coupled with plenty of personality, has attracted much attention and caused many Well-earned compliments to be voiced Whenever they chanced to appear in public with the Band. Good Work, girls, Eski High is very proud of you. . . V Y ,W 1 ,m..m Dai .. , .Y .M , W. ., ,W . .,,.. mr.. -Y , ..,.. ,..., L., . BACK ROW, left to right: B. Sparlrmcm, G. Prater, B. A. Good, D.

SENIVR PLA' This year, the advance demand for tickets was so great that in order to insure good seats for everyone, the senior play was given two nights instead of the usual one for the first time in the history of the school. Tattletale, a threeact comedy, was presented on Friday and Saturday evenings, December 12th and 13th, with members of the cast as follows: Patty, the tattletale, Ernestine Ellis: Mr. Blanie, her pleasant father: Isabel, her charm- ing older sister, Corinne Coleman: Artie, her sweet younger brother, Ioe Lopes: lda May, Patty's best friend, Valarie Peterson: Tod, Patty's loyal boy friend, Norman Quistini: Paul Cummings, a young editor, and also sweet on Isabel, Archie Roberson: Mr. Nixon, the high school principal, Kenneth Knepp: Mrs. Nixon, his extravagant wife, Marilyn Rydquist: Miss Wiggam, a teacher, Roberta League: Walt Kennedy, a dectective, Manuel Loureiro: Louelle, who is on a diet, Betty Lou Alloway: Monica, the biggest flirt in school, Aileen Beeler: Barney, the football hero, Wayne King: Mr. Whittaker, president of the board, Merle Mensinger: Quiz a reporter, Carrie Anna Vincent. lt all began so very innocently! Patty just had to have a typewriter to type the script of her novel and Tod agreed to borrow the new one out of the school office. They were going to take it right back, but the next they knew, a detective was around investigating the theft of the typewriter! Patty tried to sneak it back, but someone accidentally sat on the typewriter and it looked as if she'd have to buy a new one. lt was then she thought of selling her novel, and it was not her fault that her diary was delivered to the newspaper office insteadl The diary shakes up the town like a major explosion. lf' or Patty tells ALL. Her best friends, Tod and Ida May, know she is the culprit but they cover up for her, even when they have to start loudly singing to keep Patty from giving herself away. But the shake-up really does the town good, and Patty owns up when she finds out that someone else is bearing the blame for her. This play also had the distinction of having the largest cast ever performing in an Escalon class play. Seventeen roles were played. Tattletale was directed by Mr. Lutz who was very capably assisted by Gail Speh as business manager: Richard Polhemus, stage manager: and Bev- erly Bowers, house manager. LEFT TO RIGHT: Gordon Blixt.

JUNIVR PLAY lf, on the night of Friday the l9th of March, you saw a skeleton Walking around E. U. H. S., I would have been very sympathetic. For, you see, this was the night the Iuniors presented their play, The Skeleton Walks. lt was amazing to know that we had so many queer characters in one class to fill some of the parts. The cast included: Dr. Harold Fersig, a sinister and mysterious man, played by Gordon Blixtp Elaine Blair, a charming and attractive young girl, played by Annabelle Tuney Mrs. Madge Embrey, Elaine's mother, was played by Darlene Palmer: the role ot Bobby Embrey, her son, a noisy little brat, was taken by Iohn Wallace. Kinks, his kid sister, was played by Pat Bender. Bill Clayton, Elaine's fiance, a young, good looking lawyer was acted by Don Weichert: Anne Rowell, a cousin of Elaine's, was played by Alice Harris: Mrs. Eliza Hubbard, Dr. Fersig's housekeeper, a tall, thin, mysterious woman was Doug Fairringtonp and the role of Ollie Hubbard, her son who was deaf and dumb, was taken by Nancy Stockton. Carol Strand took the role ot Mrs. Donahue, a peculiar lady to say the least. This play took place on a lonely island, connected to the mainland only by one bridge. Elaine, who inherited a house on this island, came to see it, but discovered Dr. Persig, his housekeeper and her son living in it. After much screaming and many hair raising adventures, the play came to a surprising but satisfactory end. To quote our very capable director, Mr. Lutz, lt scared the pants otf the audience. yr r BACK ROW, left to right: Mr. McGuire, H. Barton, G. Blixt, D. Weichert, G. Gurrola, R. Altamarino, G.

CLUB Cf PA DE ORV The Club Copa de Oro was formed this year by the first, second, and third year Spanish students. We had thirty-five members with Mr. McGuire, our Spanish teacher, as our advisor. The officers elected for the year were: Gail Speh, president, David Vieira, vice-presidentg Ioyce Reichert, secretary: Bonnie lean Thompson, treasurer, and Nick Pappas, reporter. A constitution was drawn up immediately after the club was organized and was adopted by the members. Our first project was the making and selling of paper porn-poms for the games. We sponsored an assembly in Ianuary which consisted of three movies on Mexico, football and a comedy. Great enthusiasm is being shown within this new organization, and many fine activities and projects are being planned for the future. smafs ,. -I W KAI eta. W X 1 If 4 mu ll!

FV f'IBA1.L A season highlighted with long runs and passes and with plenty of high scoring, kept Escalon rooters on their teet all season long. For the iirst time in history the Cougars used the T and did a bang-up job of it. The Cougars placed fourth in final league standings, but were never de- feated by more than 12 points. Their offensive might was shown by the fact that they were held scoreless only once tCalaveras, O-121. Meanwhile, the Cougars racked up high scores in other contests to total 116 points for the season. Perhaps the most exciting game was with Galt. The score was knotted at 0-0 with less than two minutes to go. On second down, Farinelli went oit tackle for 55 yards and a score to give us the game 7-0. Long passes all season by Butler, Farinelli and Altamarino kept home rooters yelling every game. The line turned in some good work, too.

Our little Joaquin League was stronger than the larger Valley Oak this year. The Valley Oak champs, Tracy, were defeated by both Escalon and Newman. From the opening game with Tuolumne to the breathtaking 27-24 victory championship game, it was cross your fingers and hope for that cup all the way. Crossing fingers didn't seem necessary as the players always came through. There was only one real bad game, against 1-lughson, but it should happen sometime to every team and no damage was done except to our pride. The climax, of course, was the championship tilt between the North and South. The Newman team came to Escalon with records showing that they had defeated Modesto twice, Tracy once, and had easily taken the Gustine Tournament. This impressive record did them no good that night, because the ball was going through the hoop from the hands of the Escalon Cougars. The 27-24 final score was approximately the margin all during the game, and it was this margin that turned the gym into a madhouse of happy rooters after the final buzzer had sounded. Other high points of the season were the following: the 39-36 defeat of previ- ously undefeated Tracy: the heartbreaking loss to Modesto: and the 25 point defeat handed to our old friends, the Ripon Indians. The first six players all ended their high school basketball careers with the Newman game. They were Leon Butler, L. D. Edwards, Tino Farinelli, Ted Koch, Norman Ouistini, and Bill Sparkman. We shall miss them very much next year. ..A,. HB..

No, there were no bruises because we didn't have time to fall down. When we started out this year, our gym teacher, Miss Peterson, took one glance at us and said, Line up for exercises. I guess we weren't very limber for we are still doing them. ' The first sport of the year was softball. We had class and inter-class playoffs. Old man winter rolled around and told us it was time to go indoors for a little basketball. The teams played many hard games, but the championship had not yet been decided at the time of this writing. When the flowers came out and the birds began to sing, the girls went out of doors again. This time they started out on soccer and worked up to speedball. Something new has been added! Archery. Yes, Miss Peterson instructed the girls in the new and exciting sport of archery. Tennis and badminton were also favorites. Another thing the girls enjoyed was the folk dancing instruction which we received. At various times throughout the year, Miss Peterson gave lectures on personal hygiene. All in all, the year has been enjoyable and profitable. I SG-lffl.
