Within their schools these students join together in work and play, their teamwork brings glory to themselves and their school. As the graduating seniors leave to take their knowledge and skills out into the community, nation, and the world, the incoming freshmen join in the activities of the school. Our school may be small, but it is a part of America, and its students are a part of the great American team which makes our country such a wonderful place in which to live. Come with us as we bring you a panorama of the teamwork within Gonzales Union High School. LAWRENCE BOSIO ,. ,lay I :H ,Qs W Gp Y..

IO, l952, the class of 53 entered the portals of Gonzales Union High School as mighty seniors. The forty-six seniors did extremely well this year under the leadership ot their Class President, Lupe Correa, Vice President, lnes Rubbo, Secretary, Wilma Macklin, Treasurer, Betty Redtern and Frank Vanoli as Sergeant-at-arms. Ines Rubho A big undertaking was the putting on of the Senior Play, V'Ce'P'eS'dem Glamour Boy, which was directed by Miss South and proved to be a big success both dramatically and financially. The Seniors made up nearly one half of the l-lonor Society this year, with ten members, Don Boysen, Charles Lanini, Joel Rodriguez, Marlene Ambrosini, Shirley Bales, Lorraine Corda, Shirley Gnesa, Evelyn McCabe, Wilma Macklin and Bernette Wimer, Many students also honored the class by participating in l-lonor Wilma Macklin Band, chorus, ,orchestra and in all sports during the year, On May l3, Secretary l953, the Seniors were royally entertained by the Juniors at a lovely banquet, which was followed by dancing. The annual Senior Ditch Day was held during the last part at the year and also the Annual Senior Ball, given in the school gym, was a joyous affair. As this school year comes to an end the seniors venture forth into other schools ot learning, to careers, or to homes of their own. The days at Gonzales l-ligh will always be remembered and will grow as treasured memories as time goes on. Betty Redf rn , Treasurer e by Norman Braga and Joel Rodriguez wziofc Ufass Under the excellent leadership of Gary Stubblefield, President, Josephine Hook, Vice President, Nancy Lee, Secretary, Ruth Barn- well, Treasurer, and Amado Saenz, Sergeant-at-Arms, the Junior Class proved their ability as upper-classmen. Our financial status was greatly helped when we sold hot dogs, cakes, coffee, candy, and gum at the football and basketball games under the care of 4June Brooks, Jean Skanse, and Charlene Morris. Our class rings were ordered as soon as possible, and we received them in December. At the Homecoming Game Josephine Hook reigned as Queen and Joan Hook her assistant. At the games, Patsy Pura led the band as head majorette with Nancy Lee and Lavella Dionne assistant maiorettes. Joan Stockdale and Eugene McRae rallied our school spirit as assistant yell leaders and Doyleen Hooks led the pom pom girls in their first appearance. Jim Kosinski was placed on the mythical All C.C.A.L. and led the B-Section basketball teams in scoring. Patsy Pura was our Queen at the Barn Dance. Dena Shanks and Ruth Barnwell represented us in the Honor Society. Ruth Barnwell won the Lion's Student Speakers Contest in Gonzales. Dena Shanks was chosen to go to Girls' State and David Gularte and Gary Stubblefield were chosen for Boys' State. The Junior Carnival proved very prosperous and the Junior Senior Banquet at Mission Ranch was enjoyed by all. We wish to thank our advisors, Mr. Woodruff, Miss Fossel, Mrs. Bassi, and Mr. Harper.

Avfzcvzfan cl-fi-fifs The members of the journalism class have had times when the Thursday dead-line was hard to meet, but all in all, they have presented the student body with an informative and interesting paper. At the beginning of the year, the members so'd ads and subscriptions to help with the expense involved in running a school newspaper. The average paper costs about 54500. This year's Spartan l-li-Life has featured pictures in every issue, a practice which has added in- terest and enjoyment to those reading its Other weekly attractions were, the boy of the week, the girl of the week, and the teacher of the week, The Sartan Hi-Life had excellent coverage on Gonzales basketball and football games. The readers of the features will remember the enjoyment they gained by reading The Snoops and Snickers and The Spartin' Spartans. For the first time in many years, the paper had signed articles, in which a reporter expressed his views on certain matters. The members of the journalism staff are indebted to Miss South for her tireless work in helping publish the newspaper, Mr, and Mrs. Jacobsen of the Soledad Bee can't be thanked enough for the wonderful co-operation they have given in publishing the paper.

The Boys' Block G is an organization not tor the purpose ot wearing a sweater or being a hero. Rather, it is a club composed of many boys who work together as a team, not only on the field of glory but in school matters also, They try to encourage the lower classemen to try out for vari- ous sports and to take part in all school activities. This is the basis ot our Block G This year we started to work on this idea. At first it seemed to be a long way from being true. But after a few adjustments we began to roll and we soon found out what team meant. ' On a new idea we passed a law through the Student Council to have blocks awarded to those seniors who try out for the team and iust don't get enough points to be awarded a block. We held various basketball tournaments and track meets tor the various elementary schools in our valley to promote the better sportsmanship among them. As a new activity this year we got together with the girls' Block G and held a boys and girls basketball game using girls rules. This proved to be a very amusing and interesting game, enjoyed by all the students. --Lawrence Bosio Oysfefoai James Kosinski Secretory Treasurer Tony Vasquez Larry Truman President Vice-President Shirley Bales Secretary Sally Cowon President Annie Daoro Vice-President Shirley Gnesa Treasurer gizfa f fm ue The Girls' League, under the guidance of Sally Cowan, President, and the able help ot Miss Barbara Johnson, advisor, has had a prosperous year One of the outstanding events chalked up to this organization was the annual Mother- Daughter banquet, which was held at the l-ligh School gyrn in the Fall.

Due to the fact that this is the first year that it has really been put into effect, the activities scheduled were really only experiments to see what could be done. The Pep Club wasn't as strong and active as it should be. If interest and a co-operative attitude can be created among the members, this club has great promise of being one of the strongest organizations in school. Keep up the good work and in so doing, our school Spirit will be no worry whatsoever. To this new organization goes our best wishes for success in the coming year.

The seniors gave a very successful comedy, Glamour Boy, presented on November 25, 1952. They also presented the skits for the high school and a dress rehearsal for the grammar school. The cast was composed of class members, some at whom had experience in last year's play and others who had no acting experience, but who all worked very hard to produce a successful and enter- taining stage play. The members of the cast enjoyed presenting Glamour Boy and wish to thank Miss South, for without her help, our play couldn't have been as successful. Thanks is also given to Mr. Harper and to all others who helped put on the play. A party was given for the cast, the production crew, and their guests after the play.

Congratulations! Lorraine Cordo afo 'wifes As in other years, the majorettes are some of the most important people at Gonzales High School. At the football games and at parodes you could always see our five majorettes leading the bond. They were alwoys there, although it was cold at times, If you have ever watched them in action you would say that they made every effort to add spirit to the occosion. This is the last year for our senior majorette, Florene May, but Patsy Pura, Lavella Dionne, Nancy Lee, and Yvonne Boysen will be with us next year. We are especially proud of this organization and hope that it keeps up the fine work in the Coming years.

GENERAL CONTRACTORS SALINAS oczcgeil 930, E A coach has a big advantage over most teachers in that he has a much closer re- lationship with his students lathletesl than other type teachers, l-le sees the students and is associated with them during the strain of the roughest kinds of competition that the students have known, during the disappoint- ments ot losing and the joys of winning, dur- ing the repetition of practice, and during the years when the athletes are growing up and forming and accepting adult ideas. The cooch's duties are varied and many, but he tries to instill confidence, convince his boys of the necessity of preparing adequately Coach Burns Coach Gutierrez tor competition, and of maintaining a healthy mind and body, and he seeks to influence his boys to win and lose graciously in competition. Since lite itself is, in a sense, a game of com- petition, these qualities, habits, and ideas that are learned through athletics are often car- ried through the rest of their life. The events during a coaches job can be both trying and rewarding, but the rewards greatly outnumber the minor trials. We con- sider it an honor to have been a coach for the boys at Gonzales Union High School dur- ing this important period in their lives. Top row.

The Varsity team looked sharp in the Annual Jamboree and played their best ball ot the season in their 6-6 tie with Atascadero, Co-Captain Tony Vasquez was the spark plug of the team and thrill- e ed the fans with long runs of 68, 60, and 58 yards. Co-Captain Larry Truman's fine defensive play and ball carrying won the respect of all opponents and fans. The starting ends, three year Iettermen, Roy Ford and Eldridge Jones, will also be missed next year.

V. football team followed, pretty well, the pattern that has been set by previous JV teams. Starting slowly, due to inexperience, they rounded into a fast moving team that was unbeaten after once tasting victory. The team showed a tendency to be stronger defensively than offensively and was the only team in the league that came close to stopping the Hollister .l.V.'s. Co-Captains Don Gilchrist and Robert Celaya appropriately led the team to a victory over King City in the final game of the season by a score of l3 to 7. Line men that should prove to be valuable to next year's varsity are: Clem Albertoni, Carthel Cavanas, Dario Bustamante, Willie Molina, and Don Gilchrist. Backfield players that hope to fill vacancies on the varsity are: Robert Celaya, Tommy Wittman, Leandro Perez, Don Harvick, and Henry Ghilardi. Vernon Hevrin proved to be the outstanding morale booster on the team and set a terrific example by his determination and will to improve.

Due to the fact that he was over-age for high school athletics by a few days, he was available as a student aid to the coaching staff. During the football season he gave invaluable aid to Coach Gutierrez with the largefJ.V. football squad. He . was assigned to coach the C basketball team and spent many hours in giving them sound coaching in the fundamentals of the game. His work will be in evidence in the future lightweight and varsity teams for several years to come. Coach Burns Coach Lupe Correa aziify Baagsfgaff Caached by Verne Gutierrez, who coached the same group ot players to a lightweight championship the previous year, the Varsity Basketball team had a very successful season, The team was one of the smallest in G. Us l-l. S. history, but this was by no means a setback, because what they lacked in height, they made up for in a hard playing and fast moving team. They lost a few close games, never losing by more than a few points. The Spartans were distinguished by beating King City on their own home court at the King City Cow Palace tor the tirst time since the war, score being 29-23.

With this quality of pitching plus the hustling outfield and -infield, it would appear that the Spartans are headed for another championship.

Others seeing lots of action are Robert Phenicie, Jesse Dominguez, Danny Perez, Tom Gay, Tom Wittmann, and Danny Patterson.

During this year the girls have shown improvement in sportsmanship, teamwork, and skill. The memories for the year are many, highlighted byi the all-star girls' football team, the girls' basketball game played against members of the Boys' Block G , the new game of speed-a way which is as near as we can get to football, the individual sports program introducing badmin- ton, archery, and tennis. Softball season is now upon us and the intramural softball games will give us much to talk about. With Annie Daoro holding the reins and with the cooperation of her cabinet and the members, the Girls' Block G organization had an outstanding year. The girls showed enthusiasm and interest. Therefore, partici- pation was strong for the year round activities. All this contributed to the wonderous success of the year i952-53. lt was my pleasure to work with the girls in the Block G program and the every day sports program.
