Besides straightening the tangles of math for his classes, he has charge of the ticket-office, is timekeeper for athletics, orders senior rings and gowns, and unselfishly pinch-hits whenever and wherever needed. l-le has in his vocabulary the word duty , unfortunately for wrongdoers, and some of us have sad memories of the exercising of said duty. Nevertheless, for the man himself, wise, sincere, and helpful, we have the greatest esteem. lt is in appreciation of his service to our school and as a token of our respect for him that we dedicate the l942 El Aviador to lvlr.

Senators know that phrase well. but do we all understand vvhat's in back of it? l-lere's one phase in the variety of school life that isn't often thought about - the Board of Trustees, The five prominent busi- nessmen, interested in their community are from the five districts making up Excelsior. They direct the expenditures and major prob- lems of Excelsior, meeting once a month. They unselfishly spend hours of their time, without a cent in return, for the terrific re- sponsibility they carry. They form the founda- tion on which we must base our high school life, C, E.

Burnight, a truly outstanding man in his quiet and resourceful manner, is responsible tor so many things that build our community as well as the school. Probably his most outstanding work, during the past year, has been to adapt Exce'sior to wartime policies. l-le has also built up our night school program, which is now the best in this section ot the country, Along with the adult school comes the allfimportant job of defense work, lvlr. Burnight takes part in this with many others, and has been very successful. l-le has built up the Excelsior Forum to one ot the most popular in Southern Cali- tornia. Yet, with all this, he sets the tone of Excelsior as Principal. l-le is the tinal authority on all questions in regard to the high and adult school and still remains a true and sympathetic triend to every member ot the Student Body. Miss Bernice Rankin. our vice-prin- cipal, in her usual gracious and effi- cient manner, very successfully man- ages Excelsior's important affairs. Any- thing concerned with the students, curriculum, activities, or teachers is of vital interest to her, and thus she has kept the routine of Excelsior run- ning smoothly during the current un- settledness. Her friendliness and eager- ness to help everyone makes her well- liked by the student body, Mr. W. D. Richardson, our Dean of Boys, is ever present to help the boys of Excelsior with their problems whether they be occupational, scholas- tic, or disciplinary. Boys are not his only interest, for he also has charge of the auditorium seating, the sale of tickets, and many other duties which do not meet the eye of the students, lt is easy to see that the students like Mr. Richardson by the way they joke and laugh with him at noon or in the halls. Miss Lucille Tombs, our Dean of Girls, calmly and confidently guides the Girls' League and all student gov- ernment activities. She is a favorite of the girls because of her sweetness and neatness. This year, by directing several new activities at Excelsior, she is becoming acquainted with and a friend of the boys as well. Miss Elizabeth Watkins, our Coun- selor, is each student's special friend as well as a sympathetic advisor with an untiring capacity in spite of her numerous duties. With her important task of helping us with our programs, she has a hundred and one other jobs as well that simply have to be done. This year, she played a large part in our Civilian Defense program, prin- cipally by taking charge of the identifi- cation tags.

Stock rais- ing, poultry, farming, field tripsg all of these are very important and familiar to the MAg. fellows in preparing for their future vocations. 1 In Io HESTER' ARTHURS Home Economics HELEN BELL Home Economics MARTHA JANE SHESLER Home Economics MARIE WILSON Home Economics HOME ECONOMICS: Home EC courses are the one place outside their mother's kitchens where the girls can learn to cook, sew, and make a home. Inter- ested teachers build efficient homemakers from the ranks of Excelsior girls. SHOP: To the unexperienced onlooker, shop is just one long series of auto- matic conclusions. To boys with mechanical proclivities it's second nature. The very professional din makes shops interesting to everyone. ART: This section, allotted to the encouragement of unfolding genius, is a haven for the talented. It is the place where day dreaming ends and real ambitions begins. Here with deft flashes ofthe brush, skill is acquired in sketching and painting.

During the first semester, Kenny Mitchell, already well known for his long runs on the football field, ran the school affairs just as smoothly. Then David Burnight, coming from a differ- ent crowd on the carnpus, showed the freedom of action in our democratic Excelsior. David backed up his platform of aiding defense with some fine results.

They meet together second and third periods to discuss the affairs of the students who receive blue slips, giving them more than a chance to defend themselves be- fore the final judgment is passed. lf the court feels that the stu- dent has been wrong in his ac- tions, he is given a certain number of demerits. The Student Court's main sig- nificance is to act as the go-be- tween for the teachers and stu- dents and also to carry out the democratic policy of letting the students have the say in their own school government.

SENATE 4, 201.-sf for K T - kk ' X Q 4 JE' 1 Wfuc Talking about accomplishing things, here's one of the biggest and most energetic organizations at Excelsior, working for the betterment of the school. Cray-haired Senators, from their English, American Life, and Senior Problems classes, sit in the enate chamber discussing with the President the weighty matter of Ham- burgers - what makes 'em and what breaks 'em. They introduce improve- ments, reform old customs, and origi- nate entirely new and exciting ideas come directly from the students 'r classes. Kenny Mitchell, conducting the first semester Senate, and David Burnight as the leader of the second Senate, both have done excellent jobs in guiding the suggestions of the Pilots. The Sen rs, also, have done their oughly and efficiently in ng t e ideas from their classes to the attention of all. The Senate has and is doing much in connection with our ideas on the defense drive. Excelsior has profited much from this organization, and the students have had more voice in the operation of Student Body activities. ' 1 Row 1: C. Porter, F. Hancheite, N. Thalheimer. S. Martin, W.

This must be the motto of the service organiza- tions at Excelsior because they are always so willing to aid in any activities that are being sponsored. Under the leadership of Bob jenkins, the organizations are divided into three branches, the Campus Committee, Athletic Committee and Ushers. The Campus Committee is made up of about one out of every fifteen students on the campus. The duty of the Committee is to see that the campus and halls are kept in order and that a fellow member of the student body does not go riding down the halls on a banana peel. Miss Tombs and Mr. Kendle serve as faculty advisors. Row 1: A. Bulleii, B. Chapman, B. Eshelman. P. Grimes, W. Elliott, N. Heinemann, A. Thomas, N. Hand Row 2: M. Beatty, D. Johnson, J. York, B.

Clarence Willison is sub-chairman of this committee and Mr. Van De Carr is faculty advisor. The Ushers are present at all assemblies, rallies, and forums to perform the ordinary duties of an usher. A branch of the ushers, the usherettes, consists of about 25 girls who are present at evening plays in the auditorium. Mr. Luttrell serves as faculty adviser, and Goodwin Hill and Rae Good are head ushers. SERVICE UPiEllNlZll'l'lllNS Flow 1: Mr. Van de Carr. C. Pugh. J. Jones. Row 2: Le Brier. E. Sanborn, J. Madison.

Here at Excelsior, sit- ting together in a hastily convened assembly on December 8, we heard the President formally declare war with our attackers. Air raid drills, black- outs, and a real night raid forcibly im- pressed the reality of a formerly far- off, impersonal war. A few students joined the armed forces, and several faculty members were drafted. The great majority of us, however, did our bit on the home front, in any way that we could. Everyone participated in an energetic wastepaper saving campaign, and some boys, interested in helping, operated an F.F.A. built baler after school. The Boys' League put on a National Bond Dance, with war stamps for ad- mission, and raised S75 in bonds for the Red Cross. Classes also bought bonds for the school. Excelsior participated in nation-wide model airplane building, for Army training use. Faculty members have weird mem- ories of incendiary bomb practice and first aid training classes, As the annual goes to press, plans are underway for a Service Flag, to represent all of the Excelsior alumni, faculty, and students who are serving their country in uniform. TOP: Girls from gym class scramble for cover in the auditorium as the air raid siren sounds. More of air raid. Students stream across the campus to their stations.

After an energetic search for the legendary swim- ming pool on the top of the auditorium, the bewildered scrubs caught on fast, and got into the swim of things in a hurry. Live wire leaders, cooperative spirits and a desire to enter vvhole-heartedly into the activities of Excelsior characterized this year's Freshman class. Memories of a freshman year, though often a little confused, are pretty bright. That first registration day is something not soon for- gotten. The Scrubaroo Shindig was a good example of their ability to have fun . . . lsn't it wonderful to be so innocent . . . P 'ie we r TOP Row 1: L. McCaPa . J. Roberis. M. Yamamoto. L. Standley. M.

With label cards on each girl, in order to tell who was who, the week was climaxed by the annual Girls' High links, carried out in the rollicking Circus theme. This year's Mothers' teas were arranged a little differently from previous in that each class was given individual teas, meeting with the ap- proval of the girls and their mothers. This depart- ment is under the direction of the League's social chairman, Dorothy Douglas. GIRLS' LEAGUE 1. ,f - ','-+I ,4 , ' 1 1 X' ' ,1 ' '.

BUYS' LEAGUE . . ziffosn U i One place where the boys of Excelsior can rule high and mightily with no feminine inter- ruption is in the Boys' League. Coverned by an executive council headed by Coy Porter, president, this group had a very successful year, sponsoring major school activ- ities. After one postponement because of black- out necessities, the boys presented their sec- ond all school formal, March 6, with a Blue and White theme. The popular Faculty-Varsity game was again very well received both by the students and teachers. The gym was filled to capacity, as everyone watched the faculty defeat the not too happy varsity 32-29. The Boys' League was very defense con- scious in their activities during the year. They not only sponsored a National Bond Dance to aid in fighting the war, but they also did their part along with the Girls' League in collecting books for the soldiers. All in all the boys had a very worthwhile and enjoyable year of activ- ities. 55 wt BYEQE: . ,Lu t. 1' II! Jim Donnelly. COY PORTER EXECUTIVE COUNCIL Row 1: uene Stussy. Edde phens, Wally Donaldson.

EXUELSIUH LIFE With a care-free spirit interrupted only by haunting thoughts of a coming dead- line, the Excelsior Life staff swung into line in the opening days of school, Mr, Hastings, faulty advisor, also most notorious of Excelsior's dry humorists, tried to lead the staff over the numerous pitfalls in journalism. Assigning stories, lining the dummy, arguments for priorities on the typewriters, visits to the print shop, nosing the nooks and crannies of the campus in search of bits for the personal column, all typify the period known as Excelsior Life. ln the fall, the Excelsior Life staff attended the Southern California Press Conference at Whittier, Later the staff was again invited to Long Beach lunior College to attend a district high school press convention. Newspaper Day saw the Life staff attending confer- ences at U.S.C, Toward the end of the year, the journalism class takes over and exer- cises their efforts on the i'Cub edi- tion. While they are doing this, the regular staff retires lthat's impossiblel to prepare for LifeIess, the joke edi- tion. F ,Ai l I ,N I 'fin 'K . , x ' Duns Bettemur. Ngrira Tralreime-r.

Meeting every sixth period in their messy but appre- ciated room 55, the El Aviador staff of '42, made up mostly of Seniors, combined their efforts to produce this year's book of memories. With the clip of the paper cutter and the peck, peck of the rustic typewriter, the staff slowly but surely drove the surrounding classes insane.

All these were the combined joys and sorrows of the annual staff. EL AVIADUH Doris Bethurum. Activities: Jennie Rietkerk. Faculty Harold Block. Phoiography. Ruih George, Ari: Bob Johnson, Ari.

SCHOLARSHIP SUCIETY The elite of Excelsior, as far as scholarship goes, belongs to the Scholarship Society. This year, under the direction of Mrs. Eisenbeiss, many varied activities were sponsored for the members. ln the fall, Excelsior's chapter was host to the students from Brea, Olinda, Anaheim, and Fullerton at a banquet with an international theme. Alva Rylee was president of the Excelsior Chapter, while David Burnight was elected Regional President of the California Scholarship Society. ln the spring, new members were taken in. including Freshmen who had the required average. Plans were made and carried out to attend a per- formance of a Sunday afternoon at the Pasadena Play House. R. Stillman. I. Darnold, D. Coleman, B. Bethea R. Gilbert. A. lmamoto, R. Asawa. M.

They lived up to it in fine style with the splendid per- formance of Young April, in spite of the fact that the faculty director was necessarily changed three times. As the play was centered around the trials and tribulations of high school and college students, the Excelsior student body found it particularly enjoyable because so many of the events and wisecracks seemed so true to life. Cliff Andrews and Irma Darnold, as the two bewildered youths in love, were very natural and convincing in their parts. Gene Evans and Pat Cushnaghan assumed the dignity and elderliness which was necessary for their parts very well. The rest of the cast couldn't help but seem lifelike in their roles of high school students and freshmen in college. Under the able direction of lvlr. Springfield with Miss Roach and lvlr. Davis assisting, the junior Class turned in a most entertaining play. Lillian Cowan served as student director with Louise Volkmer as her assistant. 7 Professor Mclntyre Mrs Mclntvre .

With Margie Searle in the lead role of Abby, quaint and loving housekeeper, the play took shape. Amidst the love interest, furnished by Susan l-laggett and Warren Cramer, the older sister, Ada Haggett, attempted to find herself a loving spouse. The play was built around the sudden discovery that Chris Bean's paintings were worth a fortune and because of Mr. and Mrs. l-laggett's greed they tried to claim the money only to discover the rightful owner of the paintings was Abby. They belonged to Abby since she was the widow of Chris Bean.

The night of the play: knock, knock, the sound issu- ing forth from the knees behind stage . . . and strains of good luck as each character was shoved on the stage, at his cue. The play, written by Sidney Howard, was a Broadway hit several years ago. With this hit as a goal the cast rehearsed with enthusiasm under the direction of Miss Roach and her assistants, Shirley Ihrig and Virginia Callow. g,v.'Nvx.-. Q ge,....: T ul 'vw .H-.. H. Grolv. F.

One of the memorable performances of the choir came at Christmas time when they pa- raded through the halls of Excelsior singing Christmas carols tor the classes. During the Christmas play, the black and white costumes of the choir made an impres- sive background for the spiritual music. The choir also sang at assemblies throughout the year and at the Baccalaureate Services. J. Heath, B. Davis, N. Ledbetter, F. Okumura, V. Dickersan. M. Kyle. B. Mansield, B. McQuIIian, V, Callow. E.

The orchestra was really kept busy this year providing serious and light music for Excelsior plays and assemblies. The big activity of the year was the partici- pation in the junior symphony with Monte- bello and Whittier. After many practices the entire symphony gave a program at each of the participating schools, with leaders from the schools directing, Very enjoyable programs were presented. Music for the lunior and Senior plays was also presented by the Excelsior orchestra under the direction of Edwin Kirkpatrick. lllllIHESTPill Q XA BllNll The rise ot our splendid band was probably one of the most outstanding events of the year. At the football games in the fall, and at rallies and assemblies through the year, Mr. Lunde and the band members continually sure prised the student body with new and unusual arrangements ot popular seven band pieces. In their green and white uniforms, they played the accompaniment to the drill team formation and were good to look at themselves, The climax of the year came at the band assembly where a varied program was given, and the new band awards were presented to the leading members ot the band. CHRISTMAS PLllY In a day when the hope of world peace is nearest everyones' heart, it was not only time- ly but fitting to view the Christmas program denoting Peace on earth, good will to men. This is an annual program presented by the musical department of Excelsior to raise money for the needy families of the district. Portraying the Christmas spirit in medieval style, a play was presented entitled, Why The Chimes Rang. The story centered around two little boys and their uncle who were about to journey to the nearby cathedral to celebrate the Christmas season and take gifts to lay upon the altar before the high priest. The parts in the play were taken by Harry Smith as the kind little boy, C-ene Evans as the Uncle, and Duane Thornton as the other brother. The white angel was enacted by Billie jenkins. Christmas hymns were beautifully pre- sented by the A Cappella Choir, Boys' Glee Club, and Cirls' C-lee Club under the direction of Mrs. Yates. Mr. Meiers coached the dra- matic portions and created the stage setting. JAPANESE CLUB The japanese Club was one of the largest and most active clubs at Excelsior under the direction of Miss Marie Wilson. just before their necessary departure the members held a large party. As many of our firmest friends were among this group, we were truly sorry to see them leave. Bill Keim expressed our mutual feelings in an editorial in Excelsior Life from which the following is quoted. No one can deny or fail to give credit to the japanese students who diligently supplied and strengthened the student body pillars which supported our school. They have been outstanding in sports and school activities, and a visible hole will be left in our student leadership when they have gone. We hope to see them all some day when the ravages of the war have vanished from the earth and we, as a student body, wish them all good luck and Godspeed. LllTlN CLUB S.P.Q.R, Excelsior students who are unfamiliar with Latin wonder per- plexedly at these four initials inscribed on the pins of Latin Club members. The Latin classes have really developed their club into one with a large and strong membership. With Miss Hughes as their adviser, the club had two very successful parties for members during the year. MEXICAN CLUB The El Mariachi Club provides an opportunity for the Mexican students at Excelsior to get together at parties and meetings for enjoyment ot mutual interests. Under the supervision of Miss Slette, the club also sponsored a very educational and interesting display window of Mexican art and customs. L al va? 242 l Ri. CCT A ll' lie it , Q.-,l,.n. FUTURE FARMERS Championship, milk-judging teams, victory gardens, tomato plants, projects at home and other such affairs kept the Future Farmers of America at Excelsior hurrying and worrying this year. With two new Agriculture teachers and sponsors, Mr. Boggess and Mr. Tennant, the organization really progressed. The first event of schoolwide interest was the trip by the milk-judging team to Kansas City to compete in national contests. Ben Broersma, Louis Bagietto, and Art Hilarides made up the team which came in thirteenth.

They are the girls who roll off bulletins, rules, tests, and who keep secrets secret. Library: Curses and blessings are muttered regularly to these people as tardy bells start to buzz, as busses pull out, as students try to hurry. Those boys and girls behind the desk are really very generous with their time, efforts, and patience. Public Address: The public address system boys are always out to make things a little louder. You'll find them at games, assemblies, rallies - any- where noise is needed. Under the direction of Mr. V. Hawley, these boys learn a valuable trade and serve the school besides. 1 Row 1: D.

'iw jlfvs... v BUYS' SPUHTS This year athletics played an even more important part in school activities. With the nation calling for physical fitness, Excelsior responded. Even though we won few championships, we showed every school in the league that Excelsior is not to be trifled with on the athletic field. We showed improve- ments over last year in nearly every sport. As usual our coaches spurred us on and set the pace. Among the many new faces in the teaching staff, was coach Kenneth Shannon who comes to fill the va- cancy in the athletic department.

After two exciting practice games, Excelsior's football enthusiasts looked forward to a season with at least more wins than losses if they couldn't win a championship. ORANGE ln the first league game of the season, the Pilots met and defeated a surpris- ingly strong Orange team. The Green and White team kicked to Orange who worked the ball to the Pilot 4O where they fumbled, and the Pilots took over. The Airmen lost no time before scoring. Mitchell on a reverse from jenkins caught the Panthers snoozing and went over standing for the first Excelsior score. The try for conversion was bad, and the score stood 6-O, On the first play of the second quarter, Mitchell on the same reverse drove over for the second Pilot score. Again the kick was bad. The Panthers came back, and as the half ended they had the ball within the Pilot lO-yard line. Panthers' superman, Bob Hobbs, put on a great display of individual ability carrying the ball time and time again deep into Pilot territory but each time he was halted short of the goal line. After a hard fought ball game, the gun stopped the threatening Panther be- fore he could score. The final score read Excelsior l2, Orange O. Glenn Wood Guard H. Rootleib, G. DeCuniok, L. Taylor, D.

The first half was a knock down drag out battle with neither side getting an advantage. However, in the third period, the Colonists scored the lone touchdown of the game on a long pass. The game ended with the Pilots in Colonists territory desperately trying to score. NEWPORT With jenkins scoring in the first quarter on a 60-yard dash, the Pilot Varsity rolled to a 20-7 victory over the Newport Harbor Tars. The Pilots showed them- selves to be a fine defensive unit when they held the strong sailor eleven to 7 points. The Pilots broke the jinx that has hovered over them in the past games with Newport.

The kick was good and the score at the end of 58 seconds read 7-O. But the Indians soon got down to business and soon showed themselves to be the superior team. When the final gun sounded the Pilots left the field with their second defeat pinned on them. IORDAN In the final game of the season Excelsior met defeat at the hands of an underdog jordan eleven. The Pilots lacked the scoring power they showed in earlier games and were outclassed from the opening kick off till the final gun.

With this good start, a successful season was promised. In the first league game of the season, the Pilot midclleweights looked like real championship contenders as they whitewashed the Orange Panthers, 32-6. Nori Kitaoka, a reserve from last year, made runs of 60, 40, and 70 yards to account personally for l8 of the Pilots' points. ln the next game the Pilots continued their winning form by holding the Anaheim Colonists in the final quarter after the Colonists drove to the Pilots' 5-yard line. Final score was Excelsior 7, Anaheim 0. The Pilots continued their winning streak a week longer when they rolled over a hard fighting Newport team. The score was Excelsior l8, New- port 0. The less said about the last three games the better, The Pilots met a - v.-.' -' strong Huntington Beach eleven and were handed their first league setback, 6 O ln their next two games the B's were decidedly off their regular form. The Fullerton team, which went on to win the championship, won 26-0. In the last league game of the season, the Pilots were beaten l4-0 by the jordan gridders. R J. ooshagian, W. Lloyd, J.

With jess Herrera and some reserves from last year, plus some new freshmen talent, he put a team on the field that was hard to beat. They started off in fine style, rolling over the Orange team 19-O. ln the next league game, they traveled to Newport Harbor where they fought to a 6-6 tie. With an outside chance for the championship hanging in the balance, the midgets next entertained the strong Fullerton High Papooses. After a hard fought game the Pilot C Championship hopes were lost when they were beaten 20-7. In a delayed game, postponed from eariler in the season, the Pilots were beaten l3-9 when they faced the Anaheim lightweights. By winning this game, Anaheim broke the jinx which has hovered over them for years. It was the first time that an Anaheim class C team ever defeated an Excelsior C team. Row 1: D.

In the first few games the Pilots, though not coming out on top, showed some real scoring possibilities with johnson hitting the hoop with deadly accuracy. ORANGE ln the league opener, the Pilots watched the champs to be, Orange, put on a great exhibi- tion as they ran up 28 points the first half and coasted home easily. Final score Orange 38, Excelsior 21. ANAHEIM The Pilots traveled next to Anaheim and did something that was considered by some as the impossible when they broke their 20-odd game losing streak. They completely out- played the Colonists who had beaten them earlier in the season. The Pilots came home the victors by a score of 26 to l7. VARSITY BASKETBALL NEWPORT The Airmen express, spurred on by its recent triumph over Anaheim, soared on with high hopes to another victory. The Pilots held a nine-point lead at half-time and looked like a sure winner when something happened, Coach Kendle was heard to remark. With just a few seconds to go the Sailors very impolitely threw the leather and rubber sphere through the netted enclosure and won the game 28 to 27. HUNTINGTON BEACH Travel must have agreed with the Pilots be- cause they next journeyed to Huntington Beach and came home the victors by the narrowest of margins, 22 to Zi, The game was nip and tuck from start to end, and again the Pilots brought home another victory. FULLERTON With two victories under their belts and two defeats hanging over their heads, the Air- men next met the strong Fullerton quintet to decide which way their fortunes would turn. The Indians really went on the warpath and gave the Pilots a 35 to l6 lacing. The Pilots looked a little ragged but were beaten by a better team. IORDAN In the last league game of the season, the Pilots went out with blood in their eyes in an attempt to finish the season with a .SOO average. The jordan quintet was regarded the heavy favorites to walk off from the Pilots. The first half was nip and tuck with the Panthers holding a slight lead due to their great advantage in height. During the second half the jordan team held their lead and left the hardwood the victors, 39-30. Don johnson was elected captain and also the most valuable player award. The whole team deserves a lot of praise for their being able to take it and come back for more each week until at last they won some games as one kid was heard to say, den. D. Pazny. Coach Lester.

B BASKETBALL After a successful practice season, the Pilot middleweights turned towards league play with hopes high for a championship. In the first league game they staged a come- back in the last five minutes of play to tie the Orange quintet. Three overtime periods were necessary before the Airmen would admit de- feat. The final score was Orange 22, Excelsior 20. This initial loss took something out of the Pilots for they never came up to their early season form again. They lost in succession to Anaheim, New- port l-larbor, Huntington Beach, Fullerton, and jordan. Captain Loran Taylor led the team from his guard position. if '11- 5,49 Cf.

VARSITY Tllllllli The war, aided and abetted by old jupiter Pluvius, caused many changes of plans during the track season this year. With seven returning lettermen from last year's squad, the Pilot varsity track team began what they had hoped would be a successful one. The plan finally decided upon was that the regular dual meet competition would not count for the championship, as it has in the past, but rather the League Finals would determine the league cham- pionship. This year, as in the past, the Airmen entered outside invitational meets. Many fine medals were brought home from the Chaffey Invitational. The high point of the season, in many eyes, was the Third Annual Excelsior Relays. After being postponed one week because of a wet track, the Relays were in danger of being cancelled when it rained two days before the meet. But good old Sol came to the rescue and dried the track sufficiently for the spikemen to run. The Pilots started rather slow in the relays but came back strong scoring in the field events, piled up a total of 38V2 points, enough to bring the perpetual trophy back home and crown Excelsior king of the Excelsior Relays.

And in the class C high jump, Lyle Fundin tied for a new record at 5' 63M . Coach jensen put many hours of hard work into these Relays, and it showed up in the smoothness in which they were run oft and the goodwill they spread among the other schools in the league. As the annual goes to press, the league finals are yet to be held. But we know that Excelsior will give a good account of itself.

But, by using a number of last year's championship C track men and new students at Excelsior, Coach lensen was able to put out a good, well-rounded team on the field. Many of the B's were among the medal winners at Chaf- fey and gave a swell account of themselves at other meets. Don't be too surprised if the B's win the league cham- pionship later in the season.

C Tllllllll N wvWv-w.,,,,- With almost the same team return- ing from last year, the Pilot Varsity horse hiders look ahead to a good season. They have won the great majority of their practice games and showed a lot of hustle and fire doing it. ln the two league tussles played so far the Pilots have been victorious. In the first league encounter they were pitted against last year's champs, the Anaheim Colonists. ln this game any- thing was likely to happen and did. After a nip and tuck battle all the way, the final score read Excelsior 6, Ana- heim 5. In the second appearance in league play, the Pilots really made the home town feel proud of them. With fine pitching supported by good fielding paving the way, the Pilots routed the Newport Sailors by the score of 7 to 2. At this writing only these two games have been played, but in these two games the Pilots have definitely estab- lished themselves as title contenders. wt 1-- ll P' FF. as .f WY, l' 3 5.14 GV, 'Ulu' i sb' Kenny Weniworth Loran Taylor George Koopman Russell Hawley VARSITY BASEBALL Row 1: L.

After a fairly successful practice season, the Pilots entered league play with hopes high. In the first league get-together, the Pilots turned back the Ana- heim Colonists in an interesting game, for the not so many spectators. After this win, they kept right up with their big brothers and defeated the Newport Tars. With these two wins as an indication, it seems maybe they may realize their hopes for a champion- ship. ...-41 M! fypf 2 ,Q V .Y 1' vi :f' ,XY DON PAZNY BEN WHITEHEAD BOB MILLER .

In the league opener, the Pilot netmen met defeat at the hands of a strong Anaheim aggre- gation by the score of 20 to 7.

This year only Freshmen and Sopho- mores participated un- der the new system, while juniors and Sen- iors continued to win their chenille and stars under the old class sys- tem. The Excelsior girls were hostesses for a playday on March l4. Even though it rained, the girls attending from Poly, Wilson and lor- dan, had an enjoyable time. For a change, the award banquet in Feb- ruary was quite inform- al, as it was a barn dance held in the gym. The banquet in May, however, was held in the cafeteria and was formal.

New costumes and new dance formations were arranged this year. Some of the members took part in a program for the Senior Mothers' Tea.
