We ot the Gong Statt can now at long last heave a sigh ot reliet as we realize our job is completed. A year ago at election time when this began we were enthusiastic and contident as we spoke ot our Dream Gong .... But that was in the days ot our innocence. Since then we have otten wondered it our dream would ever come true. For the turbulent tribulations came tast and turious up on the third tloor in the little room at the end ot the hall. Pictures had to be taken, retaken, developed: Ads had to be contracted tor and copy had to be written: but above all else money had to be earned. ln our spare time we tound ourselves to be hot dog and cold drink salesmen. But as the year progressed, Fall into Winter and Winter into Spring, we were torced to control our tempers and calm our nerves. Finally the door ot the dark room was locked, picture cutting was tinished and the typists ceased their pounding ..,. Here is your book!

First, we remember them as Freshmen when they timidly entered the strange, uncomprehensible world of the high school. Next they were Sopho- mores who molded a permanent and prominent place in campus lite. Third we saw them as proud Juniors, utterly swept away in an overtlowing tide ot rings, dances, assemblies, plays and teams. Then, at last, we find them as Seniors. This was a year which brought with it, Senior sweaters, vivid, 'Fleeting impres- sions, and the management ot school attairs, the leaving ot which was a sad and wistful farewell. But another lite will soon replace the school dances and school boolcs, a lite accompanied by a new maturity, which will blossom into a greater happiness be cause ot the richness ot those tour years in E.U.l-l.S. their lwlq lwbf qua cc grcwluafion l l T 2 E i Q EVERETT ASTELFORD JAMES ASHBY DOLORES ARCHAMBAULT RONALD AMAGO Band I-2 . . , Cadet Corps.

We, the Gong Statt, now take time and our space to introduce your triend and ours, the Senior Class President, Jim l-lodges. Elected by the Seniors, the ac- cepted leaders ot the school, for their leader throughout the year, Jim took charge ot all Senior meetings, and aided in their activities. Friendly, smiling and well liked, he gave a helping hand to those who always needed help when they bumped into one ot their usual and unusually unex- pected emergencies. ilaimczfi in Lane!

Tall, tan, lean and lanky, lvlr. Christen- sen was always ready to lend a helping hand or some triendly, and wise hints to the harassed, and hard working Senior Cabinet. As a staunch upholder ot the virtues ot quietness and attention, he was the principal reason tor the periods when silence reigned in the kingdom ot a Senior meeting. Mike Bedwell, our Senior Treasurer, was a character in every sense ot the word. I-lis cracks and jokes were detrimental to the senior class. I-lowever, his superb handling ot an unweilding senior class has won him the admiration ot all. JUNE RADCLIEF Girl's League. KENNETH ROBERTS Letterman Club I-4 . , . Boy's League Cabinet 3 . . .

September arrived, bringing with it the end of lazy days at the beach or mountains and the arrival of the first busy days of school. On the first day, we heard the halls resound with the sound of friends greeting friends and new students aslcing the way to their classes. These new students, who soon became a very close part of the activities, were wel- comed with friendliness and courtesy. All of us were eagerly anticipating happy eventful days which would be full of football games, dances, and dates. We were sure that a wonderful year of making new friends and conquering new fields was before everyone . . . But especially before the Freshmen. Q lflflgf 0lfU r new larincilaa If sl WJ4 I 1 As the students ot the Class ot I948 join the several thousand who have gone through the portals ot Escondido Union High Schoo-I, they stride torth into the dawn ot an atomic age. As Science adds to the ease, comtort, and joy ot living, it balances the scale with danger, destruction, and complexity. Your challenge and major problem consists in enjoying the new comtorts and interesting thoughts without becoming a victim ot the dangers with which they are combined. As schools widen their vision ot what education might otter to help students meet that challenge, we are more and more demanding an excellence from teachers and principals which no one individual can achieve. With God's help we will do our best, and together -teachers, pupils, and community-we will win this eternal race between man's desire to do good and his unholy capacity tor doing wrong. A, P, Beleal 30 Wleef fLe.42 new Jelnallli WE HAVE BROADENED THE CURRICULUM AND GIVEN MORE ATTENTION TO THE NON-COLLEGE PREP STUDENT, AND HAVE ADDED TO OUR ALREADY WIDE RANGE . . .

Allen Eric Mason Emerson f 06tIf' of j'lfL5fQQ15 At one time or another we all had experience with that smiling detective ot absences, legal and illegal, Mrs. Edna Couts. Not only was she the strict lceeper ot school attendance, she was also an im- portant instructor in our commer- cial department, and thoroughly prepared her students to enter the business world. And here's another ot our valu- able assets to the school, Mrs. Lasley, who lcept our library op- erating so etticiently and our bool4s in such good repair. To her goes the deepest thanlcs trom all ot us. Although this was his tirst year as school business manager, Mr, l-lilmer strove tor and maintained financially sound policies. We could never have progressed so smoothly through the year without Mr. l-lilmer's much needed advice on all tinan- cial engagements. Mr. Gray, our vicefprincipal, was a man ot many duties, Under his capable handling we undertoolc our tirst season ot night toot- ball games, which proved to be very suc- cesstul. l-le was also in charge ot enlarging student body tunds, ot which he did a swell job. an our e icienf Qhce The responsibilities ot the ottice statt were exacting and oftentimes very trying: but Mrs. l-louclc, Mrs, Pritchett, Mrs. Duncan and Miss Barclay ironed them all out-whether they were missing credits, merits or cateteria tunds. We can thank these ladies a thou- sand times and still not have done them justice tor all the iigood deeds they have done us. N As the school year ot '48 intruded upon the hospitality ot September, Ed Lyon be- gan his duties as President ot our Student Body. l-le very capably managed all ot the hectic problems that arose in our s c h o ol throughout this busy year. l-le could be seen at odd moments on the phone in the ottice or con- sulting with some teachers. Better relations with other schoo-ls were encouraged by his constant ettorts. mid our . . icem Our A.S.B. was extremely active this year. They were the power behind Homecoming Day which was celebrated by a parade and a special assembly. They also purchased the new loudspealcing system tor our auditorium, planned exchange meetings with Grossmont and EI Centro to discuss Student Council problems, and malce varied and important revisions in the Constitution. But the year wasn't all work. The council sometimes had their lighter moments which could usually be heard clear down in the basement. Billy Porter, as our Vice President, took over Ed's duties when Ed was detained at home tor the day. Billy also entered into the activities ot the Student Council which ac- complished some major c h a n g e s in the school's organization. Much ot this success was due to the aid ot W. L.

Our men on the campus who had survived a year or several years of high school instruction strode confidently down the hall the first few days of school for they no longer had to worry about obeying commands issued from the tight lips of upperclassmen. This year they had the pleasure of supervising the complicated process of shoe polishing. The most complicated part be ing to capture some poor defeated Freshman, who was probably so driven to distraction, and dazed to numbness. that he could hardly tell the black shoe polish from the brown. Our Boys League also had the great joy of herding the Frosh boys up the hill for more polishing .... this time of the E. Later in the fall, the Boys League gathered wood from far and near in order to cremate the pirate on a traditional bonfire for' the Oceanside Rally. After this the fellows calmed down somewhat and actually had some civilized Boys League meetings. During these they enjoyed special lectures and pictures on many varied subjects. An anxious and anguished expression and cries ot, 'What shall l do next?' characterized the members ot our Cougar Staff at the tirst ot the year. But as the year grew older, the statt gradually settled into a well-organized group who got things done and done well. Our Cougar burst torth in print this year tor the first time in its long history. The kids all appreciated this change because they no longer had to stop to decipher their newspaper betore they could really enjoy it. What's this we see? A room that is so packed tu ot staclcs ot clippings, piles ot old papers, and . swarm ot people rushing about, could only be thi Cougar room.

Cur boys seemed to Sutter only trom one deticiency. They couldn't seem to coax the ball to drop through the hoop with enough regularity to win many games. With Clarence Tootie Young and Eddie Nichols leading the carnage, our boys would race and fight with the best ot them. Only a point or two sepa- rated our tellows and the league champs, Coronado, at halt time in that crucial game.

During twe latter part of the season our B's were the hottest junior c ub in the league. The post mortem's brought forth al sorts of regrets that the great awakening couldn't have taken place earlier. The seasons' record showed fourteen victories against four de- feats! Leading the club was the capable Cap- tain, Froggy San Miguel and most valuable player, Delson Watkins. Also figuring in the excellent play were Don Berry, Donny Dar- nell, Freddie Agnew, Wilfred Mason, and Don Schaefer who were the lettermen on the squad. Not to be overlooked was the excellent coachingljob turned in by Coach Jim Ahler, a mighty cager in his own right. We are all expecting big things of these boys in the years to come.

Q. 'uf M3251 If we could give awards for the best in musical achievements, we would place the names of Mr, Williams and the Christen- sens at the head of our list. We had many pleasant memories of our prize winning band and glee club, which were mainly due to Mr. Williams' direction and untiring efforts. Along with our delightful remembrances of the Band and the Boys' Glee Club, we will always hold close the memory of the lovely voices of the Girls' Crlee Club, superbly directed by Mr. Christianson and expertly accompanied by Mrs. Christian- son, which thrilled us every time we heard them perform, af CAri5fmad When Christmas rolled around, we saw our band tuning up and generally preparing itself for the Christmas Concert scheduled. The evening of the performance found the aud filled to capacity, with an air of expectancy intensifying the atmosphere. No one was disappointed for our band and Glee Clubs gave one of their finest performances. And we were pleasantly surprised when Mr. Christianson blended the Glee Clubs into a gigantic chorus which harmoniously presented several beautiful Christmas Carols. Qld favorites and new were played and sung with clear perception, which humbled everyone in its traditional subtle manner. ww iffy ljvf 'xi ,K Q xv eff' magn- - Q ik , a1'5'f1g?,i'Zf -4, ,, wiggle?

Certainly in the opening lines ot that wondertul song lies a tribute to our Escondido l-ligh School Band ot last year. From the very tirst ot the l year when they thrilled us with precision marching and playing displays on the new tootball tield to their hosting and excelling in the Musical Festival, the band again tormed one ot the outstanding school or- ganizations. Under the guidance ot Mr. Williams, the band marched along, sharing v I with the public the glory of Such Occasions Carolyn Hancock, Barbara Nunez, Marion Bolin as the Annual l-lorse Show, the Shrine Bene- tit in San Diego, the Whittier Parade, the l-lomecoming Program, and the Encinitas Flower Show. Some ot the more prominent smiles ot the music department came as a result ot the time worlc ot Butord Zachiarias, Pat Carter, and Dean Schwartz, our band otticers. Dean was the student conductor who held up the baton land Mr. Williamsl in moments ot weakness and led the pep band at the games. Especially big smiles were tound on soloists Susan l-louclc, Billy Weseloh, Martha Kuehl, Pat Carter, Barbara Nash, Beatrice Murphy, Dean Schwarz, Donald John, Alva Mace, Marlene Witte, and Paul Wood, because ot the honors they won in various contests and competition. When we recall the work ot the band, ot their malcing lite more pleasant with their music, more happy with their spirit, we cannot help but tinish the lyric . . marching along to- gether, lite is wondertul, side by side . . and Clara Eay Kilmer were our Majorettes. Memories ot girls in robes ot royal blue-singing with joy in their hearts-are cherished by all who have been present when the Girls Glee Club raised their voices in a tamiliar retrain. After the lights had dimmed, and the curtain had risen, Mr. Christensen raised his baton and the girls began to sing. The president ot the Glee Club this year was Connie Colia who introduced all ot the well-lcnown and loved songs ranging trom Christmas Carols to the popular hit tunes ot today. Gwen Neil was Secretary-Treasurer, Lois l-lannatord was Vice-Presi- dent and Connie Johnson was our Librarian. Our Girls Glee Club participated in many activi- ties this year and the list ot their accomplishments is quite impressive. Besides the Christmas Concert, the girls have sung tor the PTA, assemblies, and have given a very important Spring Concert which was the prelude ot their grand tinale which occurred the night ot the Graduation. l i VZ72 V W 22' :. fi ei x U0 lfllflfle GUQ6! 6.!8l0fA.

Two main factors of interest that the G.R.'s carried out successfully were the revived Fashion Show- which was one of the highlights of the fall calendar-and the annual Y-Teen formal-which brought out a big crowd of glamorously attired gals and their fellas. The Spring brought the tathers and daughters to- gether in the Father-Daughter Banquet and the installation ot our next year's otticers.

Following the dictate ot Easter, Spring revived lite on our campus and added another popular sport, swimming, to the regular round ot baseball, track, and hockey. We saw the weekends pass, as cars 'full ot girls and boys lnoted tor their accomplish- ments in the gentle art ot swimmingl were ott to the beach to gather sand in their clothes and sunburns on their backs, Lead- ing the parade to the choicest spots on the beaches were the Juniors who were among the tirst to revive the medieval torture ot slapping old buddies on their blistered and baked backs.

There in the last rows are some kids whom all of us watched on the football, basketball, or baseball teams. Yes, our Junior class has been pretty busy this past year. Many long weeks were spent in the rehearsal of the very successful Junior play, We Shook the Family Tree. Our Juniors also threw two brawls, or should we say dances, that added much to the long list of fun affairs. Then as a final climax to a rushed and exciting year, the Juniors were in full command of the annual Junior-Senior Banquet which turned out to be tops in service and entertainment. This year has certainly been a year of accomplishments for our Junior class. Next year will be their final year in l-ligh School. Let's hope that they continue as they have been going -having fun-doing much--enjoying life generally-just as they have been doing for three years.
