By Bob L. Brown lnterclass Basketball XVith December came the lnterclass Basketball Tournament, held to discover possible varsity tal- ent. A small surprise was in store for the entire school when the final results showed that the juniors had won and that the seniors had to play the sophomores for second place. The semors almost had to take the cellar position. Pre- tourney predictions had placed the seniors, tirstg juniors, second, and sophomores, third. The winning team was coached by Harvey Jensen, two-year varsity letterman. The seniors were coached by Babe Petrow, another two- year letterman. Fred Schneider, a three-year let- terman, tutored the sophomores. The tourna- ment was directed by Mr. Virgil Yelkin, head coach at Fremont. Pep Band The Pep Band, led by Bob XVeinberg, along with the student body, loyally, loudly, and rhythmical- ly followed all teams through thick and thin, especially during the months of January, Febru- ary, and March. It was this snappy little Hfteen- piece band, garbed in bright red bolero shirts and blue trousers, that elicited so much vim and vigor from students and players. The Pep Band was praised many times for its splendid work. Although the fellows were a part of the Fre- mont High Band, they played swing music as well as regular band music. Most of these boys were also in the school dance orchestra, which played for nearly all the school dances and was led by Bob NVeinberg. Boys ' Octet There is nothing that sounds better than a group of boys getting together to harmonize. That is just what these eight did during the Junior Urpheum, presented on April 5. NVhen this picture was taken, the comic octet had finally settled down to serious singing. The boys first started out as if they were just learning the song. They would sing a line or two and then make a few wise cracks. After some clown- ing, the octet flnally turned to singing VVay Down Yonder in the Cornfieldi' in a truly pro- fessional style. Mr. Dale McConnell, vocal in- structor at Fremont, accompanied the octet on the piano. Crpheum Scene Romeo, how you have changed these past couple of hundred years. This enticing little scene, another from the Junior Qrpheum, shows how Mac Byers put the bee on Nell Marie Holmberg in the closing portion of a skit called An Author at XVork. The author was Jim Milliken, whose thoughts aloud were done in pantomime by two of Miss McDermand's thespians. The act went over very well, but what startled some was the thought that two high school stu- dents knew how to kiss each other in such a manner. Probably what made the act so start- ling was the fact that it very suddenly turned from silliness to a serious twenty-two countn kiss.

rl at it a result The United States of America, as of decades of thought and deliberation, has produced a public school system designed to produce each generation a more ad- vanced and enlightened citizenry. Although schools do change superiicially, the basic idea underlying them remains the same to play its part in the American scheme. From the earliest time three Vli'fUCSJSCllCJl2l.l'Sl'1l17, cooperation, and self-control4have been em- phasized. Even before extracurricular ac- tivities were to appear with their contribu- tions, education's main purpose was to pro- duce a cultured youth, grounded in scholar- ship, cooperation, and self-control, Today as in years past, this purpose has been un- affected by the passing of time. Ever striv- ing to demonstrate this, the l9-lO Black and Gold staff dedicates the first section of its book to those who were instrumental in establishing these high ideals in which the l f today lirmlv believe.
