SCHOOL BOARD OF GRANT UNION A great deal of credit should be given to the board of trustees for freely donating their time toward the advancement and improvement of school management. Their goal is to make school life as pleasant as possible to student, teacher, and taxpayer. From left to right they are: Mrs. Gay C. Hammaker, Clerk, Mr. Edwin D. Witter, Mr. Elwood Keema, Principal, Mr. Rolon L. Allred, Chairman: and Mr. Fred H. Knudsen. Mr. Charles Schei- del, trustee, is not pictured. Mr. Kiesewetter, formerly Dean of Boys, is now Administration Assis- tant, having been appointed to that office in January, 1947. Having taught commercial and .business courses at Grant six years, he is well qualified to supervise the financial department, which includes the business office, student store, and cafeteria. MR.

DEAN OF BOYS Attendance supervision is perhaps the most delicate and ticklish work of the administration. The work requires a high degree of tact and diplomacy which Mr. Julian is truly capable of using. Demanding nothing but full cooperation from the student body, he has merited praise for a smoothly-operating department. Having had a schoolroom background, Mr. Desimone is well acquainted with the problems of both teacher and student and administers accordingly. His capabilities are very often dis- played in dealing with these problems. Miss Briggs' vivacious smile and comfortable personality have won the friendship of a great many stu- dents. Her inconspicuous competence as Dean of Girls and English instruc- tor is one of her most estimable traits. MISS BRIGGS . . . , Dean of Girls . its c0'1zstituent.s trained .

The youth of the nation is it's future! America is built on the tradi- tion that all men are created equal. There is no better example of this ideal than the Student Council.

Yes . . our forefathers said . The student body has been granted that greatest of American priveleges, the right to vote. When exercising this right, they are beginning on their trip to citizenship. By the success or failure of the people they elect, they are able to improve their judgment, an invaluable asset to their future worth. Whatever the future shall hold, it will have a better citizenry through the training received in the schools of our country! sill view? 5? is T335 we In electing a classmate to the office of Student Body President, the students are awarding the highest honor in their power. It is not an honor lightly given, nor has it ever 'been lightly accepted. In looking back over the years, the stu- dents find their Student Body Presi- ,dents have been the most outstanding people in academics, extra curricular fields, and sports. These people are vested with the authority to guide stu- dent affairs and to build student gov- ernment thus improving the quality of the school. With this in mind, it is no wonder that the -students look with pride at their school and at the people who have presided over its affairs as Student Body Presidents!

Order is kept here by Miss Jory and her crew of assistants. The assistants must learn to file, shellac books, and bind magazines. Those who work in the library for credit must prepare several displays during the semester, and those who work for wages must do the cata- loging.

These 'ograms last fifteen minutes and are nt out through the local radio station CRA. 'L . To those artistically inclined there are many art classes offered at Grant Union High School. Besides elementary art one may enroll in leathercraft, com- mercial art, silk screening, girl's craft, or costume' designing. In commercial art students learn to draw the human figure andto design posters. The silk screening class then produces the pos- ters from these designs. Costume de- signing deals first with the individual's personal costume problems, later with larger projects. The advanced art clas- ses do figure poses, outdoor sketches. and pen and ink work.

The Grant Union Band appeared this year smartly dressed in blue and gold uniforms. These uniforms were obtained through an intensive drive which was started last year. Mr. Oehler was the first to start the ball rolling, then the North Sacramento Journal and the Band Mothers took over. At that time the Band Mothers, an organization composed of mothers of the immediate band members and anyone else who was interested, was led by Dr. Edith Dodd. The present lead- er is Mrs. George Beach. Mrs. Beach is keeping the campaign open in the hopes of enlarging the band next year. The campaign included canvassing from house to house and the donations from -several affairs such as the Golden Gloves Tournament. The members of the community backed the campaign with donations ranging from 251.00 to 25500.00 In January, 1948, the total amount collected was 35500.00 The uniforms cost 2555.00 each. T To do their uniforms justice the band marched at most of the football games. The drills consisted of block letters and revolving letters. It is the wish of Mr. Oehler that the size of the band should be sufficiently enlarged so as to make word drills possible. Other occassions at which the band appeared were the Armistice Day Parade, North Sacramento Christmas Tree Celebra- tion, and the Variety Show. Every appearance brought forth volleys of compliments. The music compositions used during the football season were Booster , Washington Post . The National Emblem , and Fight On . After football season the band is divided into two sec- tions to play for the basketball games. The music used on these occassions is a collection of popular numbers and novel arrangements. When the previous named sport seasons are over the band will turn to concert Work. Military March by Beethoven and Piano Concerto by Greig are two selections which will be studied at that time. The dance band, a small group selected from the complete organization, play for noon dances and for a few school doings such as the Senior Barn Dance. . Lives have been lost . Orchestra The Grant Union Orchestra has grown considerably the last fewyears. This organization supplies accompani- ment for the Senior Class Play, Gradu- ation, and Mother's Day Tea. The selections used at these functions in- clude themes from Tschaikowsky's Fifth Symphony, Chopin's Polo- naise in 'A' Flat, and modern arrange- ments. The string instuments' play the domi- nent role in the orchestra and greatly outnumber the wind instruments. They provide the characteristic tone color of the orchestra. The Grant Union Orches- tra consists of seven first violins, seven second violins, three 'cellos, three double bass, five clarinets, two cornets, two trombones, one snare drum, one kettledrum, one piano, and one set of bells. If the orchestra were to be en- larged, strings would be added in grea- ter proportion than wind instruments. and the piano would eventually be dis- carded. 'The Orchestra is directed by Mr. George Hubbell. Mr. Hubbell studied at San Jose State and did graduate work at Stanford University. He plays the string bass in the Sacramento Philhar- monic Orchestra. After finishing his studies, Mr. Hubbell taught at several institutions including San Benito Coun- ty High School and Junior College at Hollister, California, and Woodland Grammar schools. During the war he served in the Army Air Force Band and was stationed at Mather Field. in the defense of this . O At the left rear of the stage are the basses The kettledrums are at right rear center and Just to the of them the other percussion in At the extreme rear of the are the tubas and trombones in of them the trumpets The harp placed in various positions depending the wish of the conductor Instruments are divided into three general classes or families: strings, winds, and percussion. The most com? mon seating plan is to have the first violins at the front of the stage, sec- ond' violins at the -right front, the 'cello section just behind the second violins, the viola section behind the second violins. The woodwinds are lo- cated directly in front of the conductorg the horns are behind the Woodwinds. The violin is the soprano member of the string choir. The viola is slightly larger than the violin. Its tone is not so brilliant, but is full and rich. The part taken by the first violins general- ly corresponds to the tenor part in choral music. The double bass, or string bass, furnishes' a bass foundation for the orchestra. The kettledrums are the most important part of the percussion section. They resemble large copper bowls, and across the tops are stretched membranes, called heads . . which is the basis of our coufntry . painting Boys and girls who have at least a B average in English and a C aver- age in mathematics have a wonderful opportunity in the printing department. After graduation many of the students find employment in organized printing establishments since the machines in these establishments are the same as those which constitute the equipment in the Grant Union printing shops. Items put out by these classes consist of 'football and basketball posters, Trail Blazer, programs and tickets for various student activities. GOOLIM9 A course well-known to Grant dents, mostly by the delicious in the halls, is cooking. Cooking are taught by M.rs. Rhinehardt in 63. A special class for boys is which at times becomes quite with the usual pranks and such as mistaking salt for sugar to the popularity of boy's boys have been admitted to other ing classes, i Gommefzcial Among the manycommercial are found junior business, shorthand, bookkeeping, and tion. A Junior business deals with business practice, while typing course in the use and upkeep of typewriter. Shorthand is a special and should be taken by students outstanding scholastic ability., keeping is a valuable vocational ing course. A new course this is transcription, which must be by advanced shorthand students. . of om' DEMOCRACY . cience Phe Science Department offers a de variety of subjects to Grant stu- nts.

In the home economics department there are many classes, elementary and specialized, for those who are interested. The elemen- tary classes consist of clothing 3, 4, and 5. The advanced sewing classes are clothing '6, in which the student must make a formal or date dress, and tailor- ing, in which the student must tailor a suit. Tailoring adds the final touch to the students' tailoring skill. After this course she should be capable of earning her living by sewing. I Q,-xl .55.,gr.: M , .'

He must keep tab on all equipment issued, give minor first aid, run errands and be a jack of all trades. Another of his important duties is keeping the dugout and equipment room clean and sanitary. One of the typical duties of a football manager is demonstrated by B team managers Phil Avery, Doug Gardner and Jim Tyhurst. They are replacing the lacing of the shoulder pads and applying tape to a loose knee pad.

' The B football season served as valuable training in the art of football for the smaller athletes at Grant. The experience these boys gain under the able leadership of Coaches Mota, Heinrich and Quint puts them in good stead for the years of football to follow. There was a large initial turnout last fall and most of the boys remained with the squad throughout the season. The vacancies left by the few boys who did drop were soon filled by other prospective gridders. The Grant B teams of the past have been noted for their fighting spirit and the latest team is no exception. Although the Colts failed to win any league games the players were always fighting until the final gun. Left in right are: Coach Gus Meta. Coach Louis Heinrich: Dour: Iiarfinr-r Manager.

After winning the first game of the season over the Lodi Flames, they lost nine straight. From then on, however, it was an up-hill pull, with the Pacers in the winning column more often than not, They were rated by coaches and sportswriters as the most improved team in the Sac-Joaquin lea- gue as they came from the cellar posi- tion to defeat Sacramento and Wood- land to end up in third place. With Don Glass, Phil Wright and Joe Geyer alternating in the forward posi- tions, Joe Briles at the pivot post and Jim Major and Ernie Waddell in the guard spots, the '47-'48 team ranked with the best in the conference. Coach Mota showed no qualms about putting in substitutes eitherg he knew they were well trained and could handle iglhemselves in any emergency on the oor. The pictures on this page illu- strate some of the rigorous train- ing the casabamen must under take. The whole sport is, as Coach Mota puts it, based on fundamen- talsf' Every player on the team must learn to handle the ball cor- rectly and acquire skill in the fundamental plays and their many n-'N such .as . . . we 5 , N variations. Then he must go ahea to perfect the more advanc phases of the sport. All of th training not only develops tf athlete's body, but also his min he must be able to meet perpli ing situations calmly and squar with immediate decisions. The B ' cagers, under the able direction of Coach Louie Quint, experienced a very suc cessful season. Undefeated in league competition, they won the Northern half championship of the Southern champions, by two points. The outstanding quality of the Colts was their fight and spirit throughout the season They played every game as though their lives depended on winning and they soon became renown ed throughout the valley for their superb ball handling and dead-eye shooting. The seasonal record for the B casabamen was as follows: Front row, left to right-Glen Tipton, Frank McCoy, George Larson, Coach Louis Quint, Frank Jarvis Bob Taylor, Joe Daly. Second row-Willy Marion, Bill Williams, Glen Neuterman, Glen Brace, Bud Yocum Gene Sigl. Third row-Tommy Hampton, Don Mayer, Dick Pina, Lowell Newbert, Lonell White, Don Brace, and Chester MacIntosh.

Among the sports presented for the girls as a group are basketball, speed- ball, soccer, volleyball, and softball. While the individual sports are tennis, swimming, bowling, horseback riding, ice skating, and golf. Physical education plays an important part in the school program since it builds active minds and healthy bodies. For the girls who are interested in advanced swimming techniques, there is a swimming Q class under the capable supervi- sion of Geraldine Merritt.

It is a combination of soc- cer and basketball, com- bining characteristics of both games in playing. Although speedball is not so well known as many other sports it is thorough- ly enjoyed by all who know how to play. The muddle of human .torsos pictured below is none other than the girls' basketball class. It is the duty of Miss Rakestraw to teach these young ladies the techniques necessary for playing a successful game of basketball. The class also played a snappy game of tennis when they were not busy with basketball. Basketball is a sport which is enjoyed by a large number of people. The sports appeal of basketball has kept many a crowd in an uproar. The thrill of seeing a basketball game is as much a part of school life as are books, pencils, and papers. ' The expectation and excitement caused by waiting and -speculating to see who the winners will be accompanies every basketball game. What a thrill when your side makes a basket! Another point! We may win yet! The final game of the reg basketball tournament was played between Mrs. Dayton's and Miss Horan's regs. After a long, hard struggle Mrs. Dayton's reg became the champions for the second semester in succession. This tournament has been the solution for many peo- ple who have nothing to do during the lunch hour.
