MUNSON LUMBER COMPANY The Best in Lumber East Side Callahan Road Phone 2-F-3 Etna, California CLASS The desert stretched out before us like an endless blanket of sand, but the Foreign Legion trail so we had to proceed. With Mrs. Basham as Legion Leader the travel was slow but we WZS OH Olll' managed. which were ridden by Ann Masters, Nancy Baird, Annetta Johnson and Leslie Hammer. The rest of the caravan was forced to walk, namely: Frank Black, Paul Black, Herb Wright, Laura Hall, Dorothy Roberts, Dorothy Deppen, Valentina Harry, Mildred Wright, Shirley White, Theresajohnson, Bill Williams, Dave George, Phyllis Gilmore, Opal Ducoty, Barbara Fincher, Jane Hiett, Donna Wolford, Alberta Borba, Edith Stoutenburg, Dorris Lilly, Lillian Franklin, Bud Fowler, LaVerne Palmer, Tom George, Mike Cory, Patsy Allen and Lorenzo Davis. In our Caravan there were four camels We had only traveled a short way when we were greeted by an older group of outlaws, who treated us roughly and told us how welcome we were. One day Valentina Harry, Lorenzo Davis, and Mike Cory set off to investigate a water hole but they never returned. Instead joe Clough and Lorenzo Davis came back explaining that the water hole was only a mirage. We struggled on across the desert for months until finally, just when we ran out of water, we came to a small oasis where we stayed for three short months. Suddenly jane Hiett spied the Foreign Legion coming over a sand dune. Since Jane was so alert, Ann Masters turned the head camel over to her. Les Hammer was promoted to the second camel and Paul Black mounted the third one. On the way we picked up a group of vagabonds, among them Les Baker and jack Betschart. Mike Cory also found his way back. Then to our great disappointment during a bad sand storm joe Clough, Les Baker, Laura Hall, and Bill Williams were lost and three handsome, Black Knights kidnap- ped Mildred Wright, Dorothy Roberts, and Phyllis Gilmore. E The weather was turning warmer so we stopped at Halliday's water hole for a quick swim, then we con- tinued on to a larger water hole where we again rested for three months. We were about to begin again when we spotted the Foreign Legion approaching. Mrs. Basham was gone and a new leader, Sergeant Preston, had taken over. In our attempt to make a quick escape Les Hammer ac- quired the head camel and Herb Wright and Frank Black mounted the following two. IH IISTDIRY Though Sergeant Preston was gaining we still found time to celebrate Christmas with the grandest shin-dig the desert had seen for many years, but we again had to move on until we discovered Joe Clough and Mildred Wright stranded on a small dune. We gladly adopted them into our band and with their help we were able to entertain the desert with the play Almost Summer . We traveled on in search of water, finally found a water hole and treated some older desert members to a Hay-Day . The dreadful heat, forced us to stop again for a short three months to regain our strength. Les Hammer and Mike Cory fought a duel for the head camel and Mike was acclaimed the new leader and again we trudged onward. Herb Wright turned his camel ,over to Lillian Franklin while Edith Stoutenburg mounted Frank Black's camel. At the last water hole Herb Wright found another camel and we let him ride it on condition that he promise to keep order in the caravan. We met three strays one day and invited them to join our group. They were Bob Towne, Louise Rose, and Mary O'Hanen. Suddenly we met a group of green- horns, so we gave them a treatment they will never forget. There were, however, no hard feelings because later this group treated us at a small water hole. Alan Shipler, a stray from another group, joined us there. We gave a show entitled The Campbells Are Coming . We suddenly realized that the Foreign Legion was again upon us, in fear we rushed onward, thinking only of escape when we found Nancy Baird. We were pressing on when a group of kind outlaws suggested we have a rest, and since they had food and water we allowed them to treat us. Later our leaders spied a small enticing oasis off our course. We rode over to it and had a grand time. For four years we had traveled the desert-for four years we had complained against and outwitted Cwe thoughtj the Foreign Legion. Now, here before us, we saw our goal. Some of us rushed to it, some hung back, but our delight overcame our sadness and we quickly spurred ahead to the beautiful, brilliant oasis. As we arrived there, the Foreign Legion met us. The commanding officer, Mr. Harper, kindly gave us little black books, containing our pardons. -They gave us a grand party and we left, with regrets, to earn our ranks in the world.

Sam was a migrant worker, and every year about May 1, regular as clockwork, he would walk into our ranch just looking around as he said. Dad would mention that he needed a man to help him with the haying, and wouldn't Sam like a job. Sam would oblige, and then l'd be the happiest boy in the world! Some people might have called Sam a bum, but not Ig he was my idol-the biggest, handsomest, finest fellow I had ever seen-and he was too. He was a big tall Irishman, standing over six feet tall, and weighing more than two-hundred pounds. He had a handsome face and dark eyes that always had a laugh in them. Because he was continually teasing me, or playing practical jokes, or making over me in the way hired men have, I knew he was my friend. I-Ie was one of the family, too. Dad always said Sam was the best worker he had ever seen, and when it came to some odd job--like mending harness, Sam always knew how. Mother liked him because he was always clean and cheerful, and, unlike some, he never complained about the cooking. You might wonder why a fellow with as many virtues as this wasn't settled down in some more per- manent position, but Sam said he just couldn't. For one thing, he had the wanderlustg and for another, he had an affinity for liquor that had sent him away from his home as a boy and kept him moving ever since. He had kept on the wagon pretty well since he had been working for us and he hoped he had cured the habit. This year the first of May rolled around but Sam didn't come with it, and we worried around for a week wondering if he was coming. Finally he arrived, but you only had to take one look at him to tell that something was wrong. His eyes were bloodshot, his face unshaven, and his clothing dirty. His hand shook and he showed unhappiness and shame when he greeted us and said he sure was glad to get back. We all knew that the only thing that could have gone wrong was that Sam was drinking again. Pa de- cided to keep Sam on and thought he would stop drinking as soon as he settled down. Pa was willing to give our old friend every chance in the worldg but it was no use-for Sam had liquor somewhere and managed to keep pretty well under the weather. You could tell he didn't want to drink, but he was just so unhappy over something that he had fallen into a bad deep rut. He was a changed man too, he would never say a word about his problem. In fact he never said much at allg he just sat looking forlorn with downcast eyes. It seemed to me that he had turned into a dit- ferent person, and I didn't like it. Having my friend so unhappy made me unhappy too. Things had to come to a turning point very soon, and when Sam came clown from the bunk house the third day drunker than ever, I knew that today some- thing would happen. Sam couldn't work, but, like an old horse, it was the only thing he knew, so he tried anyway. To watch him trying was pitiful. Sam and Dad were stacking hay into the barn and I was driving derrick horse. After two or three hours of slow work Dad stopped things-and I,knew the inevitable had come. Next I heard him telling Sam in a funny sort of tone that he would give Sam the rest of the day to get sobered up, or, if Sam didn't think he could quit drinking, he would just have to let him go. Sam just looked at the ground and never said a word. When Dad hnished talking, Sam turned around and headed off toward town. If it weren't for Dad's being there, I would have cried as I watched the best friend I ever had, walk out of my life! Dad and I got in another load that morning and then went in to lunch. Ma saw us come in without Sam and gave my father a lookg then she went on setting the table. Nobody said much at dinner that day.

FIRST PRIZE ESSAY: THE GOOID OLID IDAYS by MAnY O'HANEN-Senior Those were the gold old days, was a favorite saying of my grandfather, as he sat in his easy chair by the fireplace. It was one that was never tiring, for it was followed by a story-maybe the one concerning his devilish twin sons. The twins were very proud of the straw hats they wore. These hats were the first of their attire to be put on in the morning and the last to be taken oif at bedtime. Oh, yes, they often changed desks at school to cause confusion. Even after the twins were married, they played this prank-much to the annoyance of their wives. These stories didn't fall in any set order according to their occurrence, for Grandpa told them as they came to his mind. His next story might have been about his Grandfather Ford and his children. Grandpa Ford settled in a fertile valley near the Columbia River in Washington Cthen known as the Oregon Territoryl with his wife and children. There were, of course, many Indians around whose children were the Ford children's only playmates. FIRST PRIZE POEM: My Grandfather's mother, Lizzie, the eldest of the Ford children, was usually somewhere she wasn't sup- posed to be. When the family moved across the Columbia River to their new home, Lizzie climbed into a canoe with some Indians instead of the canoe her family was in. Lizzie and the Indians had great fun entertaining each other, but her absense caused much distress to her family. However, when they found the kidnappers on the opposite shore, sitting in a circle around the. little white child, they too made friends with the Indians and forgave Lizzie this time . The fast Indian ponies also attracted the Ford chil- dren, and they soon persuaded Papa Ford to get each of them one. Even after Lizzie was married, she often tied my grandfather to her back, and away they raced to Grandpa Ford's on a fast Indian pony. Grandpa said he hung on for dear life, and even though he was tied securely, he was very glad when he was safe in Grandma Ford's arms again. But alas, bedtime was always near, and the good old days were gone until the next fireside chat. SIPIRIINIEIVIIMIIE IIN SIIIODIIT VAILILIEY by MYRNA HOLMES-Sophomore Turning up sod with a plow, Scratching it down with a harrow, Hoping that just for now The sow in the crate won't farrow. The barn roof needs fixing, And there's a ditch to be dug. The sulphur on me is itching- Or could it be a bug? While looking at the last plowed acre- Thinking of work yet to be done, I can't help thanking the Maker, Despite all this work, for the fun. There's a corner in my room Where after work, I sit and look, Watching spring come into bloom Like the flowing of a brook. It's Scott Valley in the springtime, With all these things to do, Yet they mar not the rhyme- Of spring for me or you. This D310 SDOIISOTBU by: JANSON'S STATIONERY AND OFFICE SUPPlY Phone 444 325 W.

Meaningless, stupid, boring numbers, thought jerry bitterly, How I hate them . Slowly her eyes wandered and before she knew it, she was dreaming of the dance again. It was going to be such fun. Her new dress was heavenly and Alex was sure to be there. He would ask her to dance right away and they'd go sailing across the dance floor with her dress swishing at every step while every- body watched and thought how nice they looked. Then ole' Betts Jackson's eyes would really turn green, and . . . Jerry, dear, hadn't you better study? You know what your father said. With a jerk jerry was brought back from her dream- land to reality. Yes, she'd better study or there'd be no dance for her. Her father hadn't liked the D she'd received in Geometry or the F in History. She'd tried to explain that she just wasn't made to study, but all to no avail, of course. Why couldn't he understand how she hated school? Oh, by the way, Jerry, your father hired a tutor from school for you. He should be here any minute. He? Could it be Alex? No, of course not. Alex was the best athlete in the whole high school, but he needed everyone's help to pass his studies-Who could it be then? Probably Gaylord the Brain. No, he was tutoring Betts jackson in English. Imagine English being hard for anyone, why . . . Jerry jumped guiltily as the door bell rang and Hew to see just whom her father had hired. She did so hope it wasn't someone in junior high. It would be so embarrassing to have a twelve-year-old for a tutor. She opened the door with a big smile on her face though, just in case, and was really glad she had. Her father had selected for her, of all people, joe Mannen. Not that joe was anything compared to Alex, but then no one was. Still, Joe war good-looking and was SECOND PRIZE ESSAY: considered quite a catch by a large number of girls. The only trouble was that he'd never been caught. The days just Hew by, growing closer and closer to that big day. In the afternoon jerry would get her report card, and, if she was lucky and had passed the exams, she'd be at the dance that night. The weeks of tutoring had created a change in Jerry, though. She no longer viewed her homework with distaste but with interest! Joe had certainly earned his money well. The first few nights, poor joe had had quite a hard time. jerry had not wanted to be taught but, against her will, she began trying to see what Joe could pos- sibly find interesting in studying, and of all things, had ended up enjoying it herself. Jerry Clark -Jerry reached for her report card with trembling hands, almost afraid of what she might see. She needn't have worried though, for parallel with history was an A and across from geometry the same. She blinked her eyes, looked again, then laughed to herself. It had been fun! Suddenly she realized Alex was standing before her. She'd forgotten all about him lately- Wouldcha go ta da dance wit me, jerry? What would she have given to hear those words three weeks ago! A new glow lit up Jerry's eyes now, as she answered softly, Thank you, Alex, but I'm going with Joe. Joe Mannen. And the glow stayed with her all that night as she danced and danced with Joe. If she'd been looking she would have seen Alex's second-choice date, Betts, scowling as poor Alex explained-he didn't know how to dance. Jerry, however, surrounded by a rosy, pink cloud, saw nothing that was going on around het for she- Jerry Clark-had stardust in her eyes. Stardust that only changed to sunshine the next day-and all the days to come. Yes, jerry had grown up! IDCD YYIDIU IRIEIVIIIEIVIIIBIEIIQ WIHIEN .. .. .. by SHIRLEY WHITE-Senior Do you' keep a scrapbook? Well, I do and I'd like to share it with you. Remember when that picture was taken. We were poor, frightened little freshmen just entering a new and exciting world known as High School! Yes, looking through a scrapbook brings back many memories-the dance programs, pressed cotsages, party invitations, shiny paper stars from the Senior Ball, crepe paper from the Frosh Return and programs from G.A.A. Vaudeville shows. Would you like to know what but teams did last year? You'll find it all under the title page SPORTS. Remember in '51 when Mr. Kelly's Darling D's won the county championship?-fCharley Black gave the team, coaches, and yell-leaders a big turkey dinner.J We didn't do very well in football or baseball, but all those games are there too. X Freshman Initiation! The first big doings of our senior year! There are pictures of freshmen that one hardly recognizes for all the paint and outlandish costumes. I: thaat my kid sister wearing David Frank- 1in's football uniform?-Then came the Senior Play- weeks of practice, delay because of bad weather, a good performance, and the party afterwards. Clippings and pictures make all these things real again in my mind. Yes, our Senior Year! Soon it will be time for gradu- ation-Class Day, Baccalaureate sermon, Graduation- and the Senior Ball. This year, I've started a special scrapbook just for my Senior year. In it I have pictures of the members of our class, four years ago-- Fresh -and as we are now-Seniors. Quite a difference in most cases! Be- tween now and graduation there will be many more parties like the Sophomore Party tonight after the basketball game, and I'll have more clippings to add to my book. Do you remember when the Hi Life ran this head- line Hammer Injured ? CFootball practice was a SECOND PRIZE POEM: little rough this season.J-Here are the write-ups on the new teachers from the first issue of the school paper-everyone wondered what they would be like. Besides being an interesting hobby cutting out things for a scrapbook takes a great amount of work and keeps one busy. My book is forever getting full of loose clippings, and now and then I have to take time out to paste them in before I lose them. If you've never kept a scrapbook you'1l probably say that it's silly but-it will be a help when you want to find the score of a certain game'and know right where it can be found in your scrapbook. Every time I pick mine up and go through the pages, I see things that remind me of certain school plays, concerts, festivals, class parties, or school games. Yes, a scrapbook takes a great deal of time, but look what you have when it's finished-a record of your High School days that you can look back upon and remember anytime you wish. A CEIIIFIF IFIRODIVII IHIEAVIEN by JOYCELYN Moons-Sophomore The sky turned gray As the sun went down, At the close of the day, All was still, not a sound. Then from the sky There started to fall, Fluffy, white snowflakes, Covering all. I watched them descend With a feeling of awe, I knew I could never Explain what I saw. For there I perceived In each tiny flake Something I knew Only God could make. As the snow came down I breathed a sigh, Then suddenly, far off I heard a coyote cry. His cry was mournful But he seemed to say: All is so peaceful, At the close of day. His lament died out In the silent night, While I looked on At the beautiful sight.

GEORGEOUS GEORGIE llIlDlUll2'IlIliSIlIES With the school year of 1952-'53 in the past we are now looking forward to the future. As time passes we shall be able to look back on our 1953 Nugget as a permanent reminder of our friends, activities, and sports. On behalf of the Nugget staff, I want to thank each and every person who co- operated with us in putting out this book. The help that the Shasta View Studio and the News-Journal Print Shop gave us was very much appreciated and we wish to express our sincere thanks to them. Special thanks should go to Mr. Harper, the staff advisor, for his help and experi- ence, and to the staff for their untiring assistance. It has been a great pride and ioy to have worked on this book and I hope every- one is well pleased with it.
