BY THE YEARBOOK CLASS GRIDLEY UNION HIGH SCHOOL GRIDLEY, CALIFORNIA LLDOG 1950 Page ADMINISTRATION 6 DEPARTMENTS 11 CLASSES 21 ORGANIZATIONS 39 SPORTS 53 SPONSORS 69 'ityolct Loyal students of Gridley High School, we present your 1950 Bulldog. This year our theme, “Model T Tour,” is being mapped out on division pages, titles, and write-ups. Jump in our “heap” and take a tour of your school. TRUSTEES The trustees pose for an in- formal picture while dis- cussing plans for the new school. They are. left to right: Wal- ter Little, president; Marvin Cassady, Arthur Smith, Les- lie J. Pryde. (William Har- key, not pictured, was ap- pointed at the resignation of Alden H. Hughes, not pic- tured.) uied t e TRoaet After the choice of destination has been made, one should stay on the main highway. Do not be tempt- ed to take detours or short cuts. The way of life cannot be made too easy, and those who would have you take the easy way are not always thinking of your best interests. The equipment you will use on your life’s journey should be carefully appraised. Check your phys- ical and mental abilities to make sure that the trials in the journey ahead will not find your equipment inadequate or out of repair. While in high school try out all of your abilities to test their strength. Pre- pare for emergencies and future needs. Highways are well marked to indicate dangers. At school, watch for signs of failure. Poor grades indicate lack of preparation and concentration upon the task at hand. Heed these signs and make cor- rections at once. And last but not least, on your journey respect the rights of others. A “road hog” is never popular on any highway. Learn toi co-operate with your fellows. Through mutual respect and consideration, the way of life will be smoothed and brightened. R. W. GUILFORD On a trip of any kind, the choice of the destination is most import- ant. The four-year tour of Gridley Union High School may lead to a number of destinations. The roads leading to business and professional careers, to the occupations of farm- ing, automotive repair, the building trades and other life work all be- gin on the high school campus, and here definite preparation can be made to make the journey of life more enjoyable and profitable. Mr. Guilford and Mrs. Thompson look at plans for tho now school. (5 OUR DEANS Dean of Girls Miss Ballew Dean of Roys Mr. Montgomery Oun 'SacAera After Principal Guilford, at the information booth, has mapped out the roads for our tour, we pro- ceed merrily on our way, making our first stop to get a glimpse of our leaders—THE SCHOOL BOARD ND FACULTY—who have always been concerned with the welfare of all the students and have will- ingly offered guidance and advice on all problems. On this trip we find them deeply engrossed with the construction of the new school. It is their planning and sacrifices of time and energy that have made the realization of such a dream possible.

SPRING STUDENT BODY OFFICERS Loft to Right—Bob Powers, Erma Croekmoro, Don Brophy, Dolores Zeller, Elliot Baum. Gridley Hi’s Lilliputian legislature, the Student Council, this year as usual has been the battle- ground for innumerable earth-shaking arguments. The grave and serious problems of the student body were here thrashed out and solved. Depressive financial quandaries here were pondered. Here the misdemeanors of over-enthusiastic students were dealt with. Student Council, the school government, is a great power in keeping school life running smoothly.

Sight seeing at a Stanford Conference. Ian McVarish and lames Fife. Tho editor makes an important business call. The Bulldog staff sets out on an imagi- nary tour to present Gridley High in all its phases of life—at work and at play, in the classroom and on the athletic field, con- cerned with all the students whether upper or lower classmen. We break from tradi- tion by preparing the yearbook in a class, meeting each day drrirg the Grst period under the direction of Mrs. Dunlap. We have tried to present our school in action rather than a rigid review of faces lined up in neat little rows. Near the be- ginning of the book are our departments with people at work; these are followed by the classes and the extra-curricular activi- ties. The old method of advertising was changed. We have introduced “Picture Advertising.” We are proud of our adver- tising section and hope our readers will linger over those candid snap-shots. The staff looks at a poster advertising the yearbook sale.

Courses in typing, shorthand, book- keeping, general business training, and of- fice practice are included.

LEE WATKINS DOLORES LOUISE ZELLER 1950 29 SENIOR DIRECTORY Four years ago when we entered high school as lowly freshmen, we were self-conscious and very unsure of ourselves; now that we are mighty seniors we have gained self-reliance and confidence in ourselves. These achievements will enable us to carry out our plans for the future with a reasonable assurance that we will be successful in whatever we try to do. As we go out from high school, we leave behind us many happy memories such as the companionship that we have had with our class- mates, our Freshman Initiation, our activities in the various clubs around school, decorating for school dances, Senior Skip Day, and Senior Old Clothes Day. The Class of ’50 followed the practice, started by the Class of '48, of wearing caps and gowns for graduation. ANSTEAD. RONALD Industrial Arts Course; Art Club 1-2-4. BARNES.

Candidates for the fall officers were nominated and on the following M jnday Tommy Green was elected president; Jackie Brown, vice president; Nita Kichins, secretary-treasurer; and Evelyn Smith, yell leader. During the month of November we selected and ordered our junior rings. Most of the class chose rings with stones rather than those of all gold. We were really proud of many of our classmates this year. Over half of the members of the Stu- dent Council were juniors. Diann Hale, Elliot Baum, and Lillian Wickman were student body yell lead- ers. The king and queen of the Sadie Hawkins Day Barn Dance were Ken Crandall and Frankie Rob- inson. During the later part of spring we had a class party. It was well attended and a huge success. JUNIOR CLASS—MIXED First Row—Left to Right: Janice Price. Sara Espana, Iva Wheat.

The Sophomore Class is proud that they were the first to stop this un- pleasant aspect of initiation. The first five-day period of school was “Welcome Freshman Week.” This week was set aside in order that the freshmen could get acquainted with the school, the students, and the faculty. This proved to be the “lull before the storm,” however, because' the following week our “New Crop” found out what a freshman initiation was really like. They had to wear foolish clothes the first day and on Wednesday they were auctioned off to the highest bidder. The money made from this auction was turned over to the all-school fund. Thursday a tug of war and relay races were held between the freshmen and sophomores. The latter group was victorious in all events. The freshman initiation was climaxed Friday night with the Freshman Reception given by the sophomores. SOPHOMORE GIRLS First Row—Left to Right Mar- lene Jones, Dixie Gardner. Louise Ashbrook.

We all enjoyed wearing clothing of the opposite sex and being sold as slaves to the upper classmen as part of the new initiation and in- tend to make it a tradition at Gridley Hi. The sophomores put on the Frosh Reception in our honor the second week of school. We all enjoyed this dance and it gave us a good impression of our future school. Later in the fall we returned the dance with the Sophomore Return, held on the opening day of pheasant season. Pheasants and autumn made up the theme for the evening festivities. The first semester freshman officers were: President, Richard Randolph; vice president, Gerald Gorton; secre- tary-treasurer, Loretta Little; and yell leader, Pat Hep worth. If construction goes according to plan, we shall be the first sophomore class to enter the new high school. FRESHMEN—MIXED GROUP First Row—Left to Right: Nyla Peacock, Christine Martin.

Ready to take offl On the left we see the shop building which lodges our aeronautics class, a group of nine boys. This course is still quite new, having been taught for only five years. It is designed to give civilians an under- standing of flight problems, promote safety in flight, and serve as a pre-flight course for those who wish to make flying a career. The course includes a study of navigation, meteor- ology, and aerodynamics. Movies were used exten- sively to illustrate problems in flying, civil aero- nautics, parts of a plane, and meteorology (including a study of thunderstorms, fog, and sleet). Three hours of flying, four one-half hour periods and one, one-hour period were required. The instructors were Tom DeKellis of Oroville and Mr. Hills. The flights were given at the Oroville airport. The officers of the club were Jack Hills, president; Lee Watkins, secretary-treasurer. The spring offi- cers were Jack Brumley, president; Brice Gibbs, secretary-treasurer.

DANCE BAND Front Row, Lett to Right: Elliot Baum, Mickey McGie, Vonza Dewsnup, Diane Lmn. Second Row, Left to Right: Wallace Guil- ford, Dell Stanton, Roger Sanford, Vergil Owen, Darwin Stewart, Dan Soares. If it’s music you like, then you’ll enjoy stopping at the band room where Mr. Henderson and his 48 musicians present a cclorful picture in their gold uniforms. Opening their year’s activities with preparation for the football season, the band marched and played under the able lcaueishio of Eii’ot Baum, crum majo.’, and the careiul direction of Mr. Henderson. Uniformity in marching and lively music added much to the football games. Continuing their work with athletic teams, the band played regularly at rallies and basketball games, stimulating a good showing of school spirit. Other real contributions to the school and community were the sponsoring of the annual Christmas party with the dance band providing the music, playing for the teen-age dances, marching and playing in the annual Portuguese picnic, participating in the annual Merchants’ Parade, and many other functions. Enough money was raised to buy five new uni- forms. Musicians this year won outstanding recognition at the Orland Music Contest, March 18. Wilma May was awarded first place on the clarinet; Dan Soares, first place on the ban tone; Arthur Baker, second place on the bass horn; and Elliot Baum, third place for clarinet. Spring activities of the band included the annual band concert, the Music Festival at Chico (April 29), Oroville Gate- way Fiesta (May 13), and the Third District Fair at Chico, May 27. Let's Listen to the Choruses Let’s stop along: our way and listen to the choruses. Here we see two groups, the Beginners’ Chorus with 20 members and the Advanced with 21. The Advanced Chorus made their first radio broadcast on December 10, 1049, by singing Christmas carols over KDAN. An excerpt about the broadcast from the December 10 edition of the Oroville Mercury is as follows: “KDAN listeners heard some beautiful Christmas carols when they tuned in at 10:30 on Saturday, December 10, 1949. They were hearing the Gridley Union High School Girl’s chorus, directed by August Henderson and ac- companied by Diane Linn.” Later in the year the choruses also sang at a concert given by the high school band and at the annual Music Festi- val held in Chico on April 29. They sang for the senior baccalaureate service, June 4. ADVANCED CHORUS First Row—Left to Right Mr. Hen- derson, director; Vivian Mitchell.

FLASH FELLOWS Our tour wouldn't be complete if we didn’t stop a minute to look in at the Bulldog: Flash staff at work. We stop at Room 7, where the journalism class is struggling: to meet Friday’s deadline for the distribution of the paper during the 6th period. Let’s look over their shoulders as they assemble the paper. There’s an attractive cover made by the editor Ian McVarish. On the first page we are informed that this is the 14th year of publication. There is fairly good coverage of the week’s news. Special features include “Any Day,’’ “Senior Profiles,” and a feature story or two. A page of sports news follows. Last we review the editorial page. Mum! Here’s something new— editorials that are interesting and deal with real school problems. This one about “Garbage Dump or Lawn?” gives one something to think about. And here is another about the lack of a desire to think on the part of the students. Our readers won’t like that, but it’s the truth that hurts. Oh, and there’s the mimeograph machine that has done duty for so many “years that its peculiarities have ruined the sunny disposition of more than one operator. No. 2—Potential newspaperman, Richard Randolph, looks over the daily paper. No. 3—Editor lan McVarish using the mimeoscope in making a stencil drawing. 45 AG SHACK EXPERTS Mr. Butterfield looks on while Don Manes and Bob Powers do some welding. Ken Crandall participating in the Regional FFA. Speaking Contest in which he won second place. On the left we see the Ag Shack, the home of the Future Farmers of America. The boys have been busy this year, their schedule including more activities than those of any other club in our school. In addition to getting their machinery and feed co-op underway, they sponsored their annual Barn Dance, held a local public speaking contest, and entered a sectional public speak- ing contest in which Gridley won second place. They also enteied judging contests at Chico, Marysville, Da- vis, and at California Polytechnic College. They en- tered livestock at several fairs, thus adding much to their activities. To increase their financial standing, they sold cokes and hot dogs at the football games. Under the supervision of Mr. Butterfield, the club elected the following members to serve as officers for the year. Don Shirley, president; Ken Crandall, vice president; R. L. Clark, secretary; Bob Powers, treas- urer; Bill Sanderson, reporter; Richard Bennett, senti- nel. Front Row—Left to Right: George Robinson. Larry Brubaker. Jimmy Capps. Jerry Brubaker.

Under the supervision of Miss Ann Carter, the group elected Idonna Hepworth, president; Faye Brokaw, vice president; Myrna Loy Wolber, secretary; Helen Wilson, treasurer; Imogene Wilson, song leader; Edith Little, reporter; and Doris Baker, parliamentarian. The main activity for the year was the selling of popcorn balls, candy, candied apples, cookies, doughnuts, and hot dogs which were made by the girls. Early in March the girls traveled to Chico, where they at- tended the regular sectional meeting. The theme of the meet- ing was “The Tree of Success and Happiness.” Sectional officers were elected at the meeting. Frankie Rob- inson of Gridley was elected parliamentarian. The girls held their annual dance, March 17. They followed the St. Patrick’s Day theme in decoration and mood and re- quired all comers to wear green or pay a fine. Although records were used in place of an orchestra, everyone present had a gay time. Future Homemakers of America in Action No. 1—Time out from sewing. No. 2—Girls prepare for dance.

Something new was added to the activities of the club last fall, the produc- tion of the play, “Nine Girls.” The hours of practice by the cast and the tireless effort of Miss Williams, adviser, helped to make a success of this money-making project. The cast included: Shirley Glaze as Mary; Molly Moon, Eve; Lillian Wickman, Glamour puss; Callie McKey, Jane; Eleanor Panecaldo, Shotput; Nancy Tolley, Alice; Judy Brown, Shirley; Anita Pantaleoni, Tennessee; Patricia Green, Freida; and Nita Richins, Phyllis. Richard Jones was the announcer and sound effects manager. The main spring activity was the Spanish Fiesta, given March 31. According to tradition, a queen was chosen on the basis of high grades in Spanish and outstanding activity in the club. The girl chosen this year was Molly Moon. The main feature of the Fiesta was the South American dances with almost 50 Spanish students participating. Outstand- ing dancers were Sara Espana, Judy Brown, Dan Soares, and Jo- anne Herrington. These dances represented a great deal of practice and hard work. The president of the Spanish Club reports that the club is financially much better off than it has been for some time. This is due to the splendid co-operation of the members. Officers for the year were: president, Molly Moon; vice president, Sara Espana; secretary-treasurer, Callie McKey; and historian, Eleanor Panecaldo. r P r I Jr. ' v i ;■ IP o J .v,. n V V £ First Row—Left 'o Right: Loretta Kolnsburg.

The Speech Arts Club is a comparatively small group con- sisting of 20 members. It is sponsored by Miss Ballew. The club is made up of students now taking Speech Arts and those who have taken it in the past. It was organized to promote better speaking habits and to encourage interest in plays and dramatics. This year its main activity was the production of a three-act play, “The Moon Makes Three.” Those included in the cast were Virginia Hill as Grandma Jackson, Bobby Newell, John Henry Baily; La Wanda Sherman, Marsue Baily; June Brogdon, Elea- nor Baily; Myrna Wobler, E-Ann Baily; Gene Williams, Nickie Barlow; Mary Ann Ellis, Eve Wilson; Elliot Baum, Frank Hall; Nadene Clegg, Mrs. Baily; Don Tipton, Freddie Smith; Hal Jen- sen, Terry Randolph; Don Shirley, Wendel Wilcox; Nita Richins, Jenny May West; Lois Waters, Minetta Miller; and Bob Powers, Roger Armstrong. The fall officers of the club were La Wanda Sherman, presi- dent; Myrna Wobler, vice president; and Edith Little, secretary- treasurer. The spring officers were Evelyn Smith, president; Edith Little, vice president; and Virginia Hill, secretary-treasurer. No. 3—Be careful, LaWanda, it might break. From the THESPIANS same play.

Oh, yes, it’s an honor to belong. Membership in the organization shows that a student has a good scholastic standing, has written at least 100-column inches for some publication, and has had samples of his work evaluated by the central committee at Chicago. He is proud to wear the gold key, insignia composed of a quill and scroll. Editing BULLPUP SMILES, school anthology of stories, poems, essays, and drawings, was the main ac- tivity of the club this year. Karmen Newell, president, was particularly active in enlisting the English teachers in contributing the work of their students. Officers of the organization were Karmen Newell, president; Dolores Zeller, vice president; and Ian Mc- Varish, secretary and treasurer. Other members are Ralph Rowley and Eleanor Panecaldo. Mrs. Dunlap was the sponsor. Looking over BULLPUP SMILES, school anthology, wo iind Dolores Zeller. Karmen Newell, and Eleanor Panecaldo.

SEASON OPEN|S This year we had the most successful B football team we have had in quite a few seasons. The main reason was that there were more younger boys interested in football than ever before. With the exception of two juniors, the team was made up of sophomores and freshmen. Because of the B team’s record this year, six wins and four losses, the football picture in Gridley looks brighter than it has for several years. For the first time in many years the team had a coach of their own—Mr. Roberts. Scoring 167 points and holding their opponents to only 68 points was really impressive. The B team lost only to Live Oak and Orland; they were victors over Willows, Corning, and Colusa in league play.

The 12 D team hoopsters took all of their southern division games and whipped Anderson at Gridley to gain the championship. The C’s also played sparkling ball but lost two league encounters to the Live Oak Lions. Seven boys on the two Bull pup teams played well enough to earn a berth on the more experienced B team. The three ex-D’s were David Ramsey, David Vaca, and Gerald Gorton. Don Shifflet, Steve Jensen, R. L. Clark, and Gary Brophy were the four C’s who moved up.

Their participation in the league ath- letic program has been one of the high lights of the school year. They have tried for cleaner athletics on the field and aimed to develop sportsmanship and clean living in their membership. During the course of the school year, they have worked closely with the Circle G in sponsoring a dance that was de- scribed as being “very good.” Their initiation, both fun and formal, was a high-light of school initiations. Their fun includes the traditional shoe shine box. To show that the letter so- ciety did mean business in their new role, an impressive ceremony was given the new members in their initiation. Fall officers were Bob Powers, presi- dent; Glen Lockhart, vice president; and Ronald Garrett, secretary-treasurer. The Spring officers were Hal Jensen, presi- dent; Don Holcomb, vice president; and Dale Beck, secretary-treasurer. block G Firs! Row—Left to Right: Don Prather, Ken Cran- dall. Jay Adams. Dale Beck.

Not to be underrated by their male contemporaries, the female division of Gridley’s athletic department had a well rounded sports program this year, including hockey, volleyball, basketball, soccer, and softball. Aside from the regular games during the four periods in which physical education was taught, each class organized teams to participate in noon games of 30 minutes in length. Competition was the keynote between the frosh, sophs, juniors, and seniors every time a new sport was introduced. Some of the games were quite “hotly” contested but generally fun and exercise were maintained throughout all of them. Points were earned for membership in Circle G and for CSF, by participating in these noon games. There is some pleasure in knowing that on the following pages the “champs” of the various activities are pictured to live forever in the annuals of Gridley Hi. VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONS First Row—Loft to Right: Betty Cardoza, Mary Hewitt, Marilyn Sanders. Second Row — Miss Thompson, Billie Childress, Doris Eidson. Thelma Kofford. Sybil Freeman. 67 In our tour around the campus it’s pretty hard not to notice the legs chasing all over the ath- letic field. Close observation reveals these legs are attached to girls who are participating in the Circle G noon games. Everv six weeks a new sports is introduced, and each class sends out its representatives to vie for championship. Starting off in September one of the most hotly contested tournaments begins. Hockey is a lively and fast game. It is followed by volleyball, then basketball, soccer, and finally softball. The girls who participate in the noon games get points for their activity. After an accumula- tion of 500 points, they become eligile for the Circle G organization. The Circle G is primarily an organization to stimulate social games, dances, and activities about G. U. H. S.

WATCH THE BILLBOARDS GO BY .. 69 AD-ING IT UP We would never have been able to have taken you on our “Model T Tour” without the support of the busi- ness and professional men of Gridley. These progressive firms and individuals provided money for over half the cost of our annual by purchasing picture and sponsor ads. Many after-school hours were spent by business manager Hal Jensen, editor James Fife, and other members of the staff in the sale of picture and sponsor ads. Business and professional people of the community were cooperative in their support of this yearbook.
