GREENE BARNETTS' APPLIANCES AND mosrv rooos CENTER PRESCRIPTION DRuGGnsTs 325 scum Broadway Yreka California Yreka California On September 8, 1950, our inter-planetary space ship, the EUHS Scbolarrbip, landed on the planet Frosh- land. This planet is the first stopping place for all be- ginning voyagers. For the next four years We had to fight the elements of nature in our search for knowledge. This was the test to which we were subjected before we could take our place in the universe. Our officers were: Skipper-Rod Eastlick, First Mate-Nancy Gane, Quartermaster--Nancy Carlson, Navigators-Mr. Gordan Hay and Mrs. Basham. The crew: Marcell Black, Nancy Jo Purcell, Pat Utz, Harriet Skillen, Don Roberts, Chuck Cromwell, Helen Hammond, Bonnie Deppen, David Franklin, Annie Barandun, Peg Thompson, Ronnie Morris, Milton Steen, Leroy Walthall, Sharon Holmes, Audrey Gepford, Mike Bryan, Joanne Smith, Marilynn Ley, Nancy Carlson, Tamara Coloia, Rod Eastlick, Mary Hammond, Pat Thompson, Don Meek, Lee Cramer, Larry McMinimee, Nancy Gane, Marie Bogue, Gwenath Saunders, Myrtle McCanna, Elda Hall, Darlene Birdwell, Clara Linderman, Jack Minney, Denise Roberts and Billie June Brown. Soon after our arrival on this strange green planet, a group of weird monsters C class of 'SU caught us and, deciding that we looked like we were lost, began showing us the ways of their planet with paddles and clubs. They did no serious damage to either of us or our ship, so we made a treaty instead of destroying them with our hy- drogen guns. According to the provisions of this treaty, we gave a party to humor them and they, in turn, agreed to leave this planet at the end of the year. Every fighting ship has its casualties and ours were the loss of Mary Hammond, Alice McLaughlin, Marilynn Ley, Pat Thompson, Don Meek, Lee Cramer, Myrtle Mc- Canna and Darlene Birdwell. After a three month vacation, we started off to explore the next planet, Sophinus. Because of near mutiny, we elected new officers: Skipper-Mike Bryan, First Mate --Rod Eastlick, and Quartermaster-Helen Hammond. CMr. Starr and Mr. Hay were our navigators.D While we weren't looking, Nancy Carlson, Tamara Coloia, Elda Hall, Jewell Neal and Gwenath Saunders were spir- ited away by a group of planetmen. Since our crew was diminishing, we picked up ,Ed Klump, Connie Dishman, Don Minard and Billie June Brown, who were drifting in space because their ship had struck a meteor. During that year we happened to find a large flying saucer called Jackson's and stopped for a skating party. During three months of recuperating, we anticipated the day when we could have the title of Upperplanet- Wialozq men. After a long search, we landed on the planet Juniper Jack Minney, Harriet Skillen, and Rod East- lick were the new officers for this trip. Mr. Hay and Mr. Starr were lost so Mr.iWalker and Mrs. Foster be- came navigatots. Under this new command, our ad- venture was much the same as before. We continued on our course, but having passed the halfway mark, our future looked brighter. One old crew member, Gwenath Caravalaho, came back for a visit, bringing with her Don Minard, Richard Price and Richard Kramer. Larry Mc- Minnimee was lost to a planet across the sky, Yreka. Clara Linderman and Billie June Brown went in search of some new planetmen and for some unknown reason never came back. As could be expected, Don Minard got lost during his wanderings, Marie and Gwenath were at- tracted by some strange earthmen, and Connie was sucked through a broken hatch. I believe she was picked up by another ship. The Junior planet invited all the planets of the universe to the hilarious planet production of The Little Dog Laughed. Later, we met a group who were on the last leg of their journey and we treated them to a skating and swimming party. Our navigators suddenly moved on to greener pas- tures, and since we couldn't continue without them, we stopped until new ones could be found. Finally Mr. Preston and Mrs. Eastlick, old timers at the game, donned their space outfits and consented to lead us on. Fol- lowing tradition, we signed on new officers: Joanne Smith, Mike Bryan, and Helen Hammond. Esther Peder- son joined our party during the stop and soon we were on our way to the last planet we were required to visit- Seniorius. On the way to that great planet we encoun- tered some little green planetmen just beginning their voyage, and remembering our former experience, gently showed them the tricks. Having been through so much, everyone was careful to see that he was not the one to fall by the wayside. Nancy Gane transferred to another expedition but we had no other loss. We presented our second play No More Homework, which was a great success. Later, a kindly squadron only a year younger than ours presented us with a farewell party as we neared the end of the voyage. Finally on June 4, 1954, nearly four years after the beginning of our expedition, we received our charts and threw a Planet Prom to celebrate the completion of our adventure. Thus, it seemed, came the parting of the ways, some went on further expeditions while others began their careers.

Resentment still burned within him as he trudged up the Hull Gulch Trail. If he just had a little more money, Nora would be willing to go with him. They'd make a go of it somewhere else. Here it was Saturday night again-and payday! He ought to be meeting Hong Foy on his way from the Quartz Valley Mines to his cabin in Oro Fino. Hong Foy would be carrying his pay. Chinese always de- manded their pay in cash. It was getting dark now and Hong Foy was later than usual. A week later Pete jones decided to hike over the Hull Gulch Trail from his cabin in Oro Fino to have a visit with one of his old cronies in Quartz Valley. A just below the big pine on the curve of the trail, was a big pack rat's nest. What was that sticking out of it?-Looked like a hand! Couldn't be, but it was-not only a hand, but the body of the Chinaman, Hong Foy-dead-very, very dead! One Chinaman wouldn't be missed, but this one was certainly the victim of a murder for he had been stabbed. When the news spread, suspicion spread with it. What had happened to joe Windgate? He was known to dislike Chinese. Joe was in love with Nora who was visiting at the SECOND PRIZE POEM It was a chill September day Whenl watched the wild geese as they sailed awayg I heard their honking in the windy sky And I wondered what had made them fly- What transcendent Power Had made them leave that very hour! They had left the peaceful marsh To climb to heights where winds were harshg And, though they were but specks to the naked eye, George Allen home above Oro Fino. She had been acting strangely lately- As suspicion rose, Jake Peters came with his lion hounds. The chase was on! A big forked fur tree, which was near the Allen home was Joe's hiding place. Nora came every day with food and water. A little persuasion had also brought a gun. As soon as the excitement died down, Joe and Nora planned to slip away. Too bad, joe reflected, that he had had all this trouhle for nothing since Hong Foy hadn't a penny on him. What was that? Sounded like Jake P'eter's pack of hounds! For the first time panic gripped joe. He forgot Nora and all their plans for the future. In a second he was out of the tree and running like mad down the hill. He planned to hole up in some limerocks and shoot it out! I When Jake Peters came up to his baying hounds, he found joe lying with one leg crumpled under him, and the gun lay just out of his reach where he dropped it when he had missed his footing and fallen. Too late Joe had learned the bitter lesson: crime does not pay. -JANET Lewis-Sophomore I still could hear their departing cry-E Then all seemed strangely still As they vanished beyond the hill. Oh! What does Autumn do to the world, To cause wild geese to leave with sails unfurledg While we, our busy lives, go plodding on, Till suddenly we're aware the birds are gone! Then we know at last, that they And we are guided by God's will, each day. -DAVID BLACK, junior SECOND PRIZE ESSAY I 4 I Hurry up - Don't be so slow - Get a move on - Take your time - I haven't got all day. There are some of the comments, besides hundreds more, that are often heard by movie custodians. I.et's take, for example, the character who was in a tremendous hurry. He calmly got out four cokes for him- self and his friends. While he was pouring the coke into cups, he unfortunately spilled one. It was hard work to keep my temper, but I pulled through serenely. I also Fund it necessary to be a walking encyclopedia. I get such queries as: Where's the gum, or do you have any in this joint? What time is it? Is there a comedy? These questions are relatively easy to answer, but when I get a question from a prowling wolf such as Are you married, Baby? , I am at a loss to what to say that would put him in his place. Perhaps you have wondered what a movie custodian does before the theatre opens. It is really all very simple: I pop corn, open pop corn bags, and fill them so that they are ready to sell. I check the cake and candy FIRST PRIZE POEM and then wait until it is time to open the doors. My work is not nnished just with selling the corn. The next day I have to sweep the theatre before it opens again that evening. Then I start all over again. Perhaps you have asked yourself: What can a person gain from a job like mine? Here are a few things that I have gained: I have learned to get along with all types of people and I have learned to meet the public in a pleasing manner. This job as a movie custodian has given me the opportunity to meet people and make new friends. I have gained the self-confidence that otherwise I would not have had until later in life. Also, my job has given me the privilege of earning my own money, which is a big help to my parents. Moreover, the money I earn will help to pay my way through college next year. I Yes, I am glad that I have taken this job, for it has given me the satisfaction of helping myself and my parents. -HARRIET SKILLEN, Senior Springs the most beautiful story 'er told- Always new, never old.

Against all opposition this year, in all sports, CA, B, C, and D Basketball, Foot- ball, Track and Tennis, as of publication timel the Etna squads have run up an excellent record ot 33 wins against 23 losses! Considering the tough opponents taced vveek after vveek, this record is one the students and followers ot Etna High can point to with pride. A side light to this vvin-loss record is the tact that Etna has defeated every school in the county at least once this year! v BACK ROW: C. J.

The Darling D's extended their home win record to three straight years. The C's gave the home fans unexpected excitement on two occasions as they played last second thrillers that will long be remembered. The B's had perhaps their greatest season on record this year in remaining in contention for the county championship up to the last game only to lose a heart- breaker. A difference of only nine points during the whole season cost them the highly regarded county title. For the A's it was a year of great improvement. Who will forget the last second shot that brought victory over a highly favored McCloud team, or the night of the mighty 69 to 21 victory over their cross valley rival, Fort Jones?

Skillen, Joe Davis, Tom Gurney, John Berthelsen, Jean Berthelsen, The spectators at the Fall River Tournament will not soon forget Etna. Both Etna's A and B teams played in the final championship games only to have lady fate deny them the coveted cham- pionships by a few points. However, second place in both divisions added new prestige to the Lions of Etna High. Football had its moment too. A highly favored Fort Jones team was all but driven from the plains of Etna as a determined, under-rated Lion six led until the last minute only to have victory snatched from its grasp by two points. Everyone present will long remember this game as the one of the almost miracle -a game Etna can be proud to register on its record hooks.

A new park and fence and an unbeaten record at publication date leave promise of great things to come. Track has taken a new role on the Etna hill. Use of Pleasure Park for practice and meets has brought new interest in this fine sport. Tennis also has a new look. A great amount of interest and two coaches indicate future success on the hard surface courts. This then has been the athletic year at ol' Etna Union. A year of victory, defeat, thrills, and dis- appointment. But mo st of all this has been another year where every boy on every team played the game as best he could, with sportsman- ship, and desire, in the tradition of fair play that dominates all sports at Etna Union High school.

I doubt if there is a single student who hasn't, at sometime or another, heard those yery words from their elders. However the usual re- sponse is, What makes you think so? To the Freshman, the first few months of high school are exciting, new, and different. They arrive at school on time every day with a sparkle in their eyes and appear prepared for anything tha.t might happen. The upper- classmen think: How stupid these Freshmen are- they don't realize what they're in for. Of course, these lively Freshmen don't know, and, furthermore, they don't care. To them, this is the best year of their lives. The life of the Sophomores is indeed very dull. They have experienced the thrill of being Freshmen, and ac- cording to them, there is nothing to look forward to in this second year of torture. They begin to realize that there is nothing worthwhile left in high school. They drag through one hundred and seventy-nine days of the same classes where they see only the same faces. Tests, quizzes, and more quizzes, and tests are hurled at them. They begin to wonder just why anyone ever thought of high school as the best years of their lives. The Junior Class- Upper-Classmen -take their SECOND PRIZE STORY eww? newly acquired title very seriously. Maybe too seriously, for in the eyes of the other three high school classes, this title has gone to their heads. But the juniors are experiencing what every Junior does. The same teacher who aggravates them on one day, is, the next day, the best teacher in school, and other teachers are placed on and taken off their hate list. Whether the teachers know it or not, in the life of every junior, each teacher takes his place on a hate list. The Juniors know for a fact that this is not the best year of their lives. When the class acquires the title UD Senior, for the first time in their four years together, they become closer than ever before. Most of the members of the Senior Class hardly realize this, but unknowingly, there are a few -incidents that display this fact. The Senior Class is usually the underdog Why? This is because of the following reason: the Freshmen think the Seniors push them around too muchg the Sophomores think the Seniors are too stuck-upg the Juniors think the Seniors know too muchg and the teachers think the Seniors are not serious enough and get senioritis too soon. The Seniors may think they know about everything, but one thing is certain, in a few years they too will be saying, those were the best years of our lives. -Joanne Smith, Senior 7m Wan He was a large black dog, affectionate, lazy, not too intelligent, and slightly clumsy. He liked to hunt and whuffle around through the brush looking for every- thing-and nothing in general. He couldn't track to amount to anything, and I don't know why I took him hunting that day. Perhaps it was because I knew what it meant to be left home from a hunting trip. Chances weren't good for deer that dayg the weather was as hot and dry as it had been all month. The sun was slightly red as a result of some forest fires, and it gave off a blistering dry heat. I left about eleven in the morning, intending to go on a short hunt and eat when I came back. I walked slowly because of the heat. There were signs of deer, but mostly they were small tracks-does and fawns. The dog didn't try to pick any of these signs up but axnbled along as if it were almost a chore. I headed for the spring where I thought some deer might have bedded. The spring was dry now, and the remaining grass was cropped close. Apparently it didn't offer much attraction for the deer, for there were no fresh beds that I could see and very little other sign. As hunting was discouraging, I decided to go home and wait for a better day. I also decided to take the long way home. The dog was ambitious now, as the sun's rays were less direct. On the south side of the hill, the brush had taken such a stronghold on matters that vision was reduced to the ground and sky. The dog and I were busy worming through the brush with nothing on our minds but the difficulty confront- ing us. He was just ahead of me, when I heard a rustle, a thump, and the dog came flying back to land on top of me, rear first. I wasted no time reversing myself out of this awkward position. Taking another route to the spot, I peered through the brush. Before me lay an oversized snake with rattles on his end. He had been enjoying a squirrel when he was so rudely interrupted. Now I hastily inspected the dog, who was right at my heels, with tail tucked, to see if he needed first aid. He seemed all right so I turned my attention to the snake. It appeared that the snake hadn't been able to clear him- self from the squirrel in time to make an effective strike. THIRD PRIZE STORY jerry Holden was walking down the main street of Kimstown, an old western town in the far west, when he heard the voice of Sam Stanley, the game warden: Jerry, how would you and your dog like to help me try to kill the old cougar that was feeding on Tom Morgan's cattle? Old Ben, Morgan's foreman, said the cat just killed a steer up by the West Branch Salt Box. He wants a couple of helpers and a good dog and he will take his hounds after the old cattle killer. Sounds all right to me, jerry said, When do we start? I'll pick you up at 6:00 sharp in the mornin' in front of your place. Have your dog, your 30-30 and your bed roll with you, answered the warden. Jerry was waiting when Sam's jeep pulled up. They talked as the jeep bounced up the narrow road to Tom Morgan's spread. When they arrived Old Ben was waiting with the hounds. They walked for hours under the hot afternoon sun up the canyon to the salt box. There the critter lays, Old Ben said as he pointed to What would have happened if the dog hadn't been in front of meas I crawled through the brush! Not being as quick as the dog, I would have been bitten, almost without a doubt. As I was alone, several miles from help, and without a snake bite kit, I was grateful that I hadn't met the rattler face to face. I killed the snake and let the dog inspect' him thoroughly, then hung him on a bush. Since my close brush with my prospects for good health didn't make me feel too good, I abandoned the idea of taking the long way home and struck out directly. I don't know what'to attribute my good luck to. Perhaps it was sent to make me appreciate the dog more --I don't know, but this I do know: he won't have to worry about being left home from any hunting trips where I am concerned. -David Black, junior S the steer's half-eaten body. They turned the dogs loose, but Jerry followed, his own dog, Old Spot. They had been gone from the salt box two hours when jerry heard Old Spot baying the Cougar. Jerry crawled through the underbrush and saw the cat up a big pine in the clearing. He edged over to a big cedar log and rested his rifle over it. Jerry aimed at the hissing cat and pulled the trigger! The cat screamed loudly and dropped to the ground, while Jerry, fumbling with his rifle, found that the gun was jammed., Seeing the position Jerry was in, Old Spot dashed in from the rear. The cat turned on Old Spot, but the old hound dodged him cleverly. jerry, on the verge of collapsing, finally reloaded his gun. He took careful aim at the fighting cat and squeezed the trigger, the car fell, dead. Jerry, who was so excited he had almost turned green, got up and started down the trail, butiOld Spot just looked up an wagged his tail. It was just another day's work for him. -Robert Lange, Sophomore 569464 guide ,Vx xffg .VS FIRST ROW: James Smith, Diane Munson, Lynn Palmer, Jim Toner, McCallister, John Deppen, John Corrigan, Ernest Hayden, Bill Depr-vv, Ernest Bigltam, Sue Kramer, Karol Skillen.
