SutCdoy t ?5! WHEN YOU WISH UIM A STAR” 7 e Sciilciay PUBLISHED BY THE ANNUAL STAFF GRIDLEY UNION HIGH SCHOOL GRIDLEY, CALIFORNIA Dedication Behind every dream come true there is someone who has thought and planned and sacrificed. Never would our beauti- ful school have been constructed had it not been for our principal, Mr. Guil- ford, sweating out hours of work; our board of trustees, under the direction of Mr. Pryde, giving hours of their valuable time; and parents and friends who were willing to go the limit finan- cially. To Principal Guilford, the board of trustees, parents and friends, we grate- fully dedicate our 1951 annual. Thanks for a wonderful school! 3n Memoriam KAY OVERALL Kay, who would have been a freshman this year, passed suddenly, without warning, on a beautiful summer day. But even though she went hurriedly, without time to wave good-bye, she left behind her many precious treasures for us—her smile, her gay laughter, the wonder and beauty and joy of her life. She’ll live in our memories, always and always. LETTER TO SAINT PETER Most Reverend Saint: I have been told you keep the gates of heaven. (If I am being overbold, I pray to be forgiven� . And knowing well how busy you must be, I shall be brief. (My hand’s unsteady as an aspen leaf). When Kay comes- You’ll know her by her smile, her shining hair Touched with just a bit of gold. Her gay “Hello” may take you unaware, But I assure she means no ill respect. Fourteen’s so young! And if her halo tilts a bit, worn at a seemingly frivolous angle, Please keep in mind she is not used to it. That time will set the shining bangle more sedately on her hair, And give her dignity to wear. For your compassion, Sainted Brother, the gratitude of Kay’s Mother Eva Overall —Adapted from a poem by Marion Doyle pate Stefa FRESHMAN ( LASS First Row. left to right—Ida lo Prock, Jana Davis, Delores Spear, Mr. Robert Morris, Mary Stover, Jean Lehn, Duane Over- all, Margaret Dillard.

The Freshman Class, well on their way now to a successful high school career, started out the year, on the very first day, by wearing hair oil, no make-up, clothes wrong side out and backwards. The next day they had to come dressed as characters in nursery rhymes, and they were auctioned off as slaves to the upperclassmen. The third day the girls wore their fathers’ pajamas and the boys wore their mothers’ nightgowns. They showed very good sportsmanship all through the initia- tion. Climaxing the week was the Freshman Reception, October 13, spon- sored by the Sophomore Class after the Anderson football game. The frosh in their turn sponsored the Sophomore Return, November 10. after the Orland football game. The Freshman Class did not stay in the background for long, and they soon let the school know of their ability to keep up with the upper- classmen.

SOPHOMORE ( LASS Outstanding among the privi- leges enjoyed by sophomores is the planning and direction of the initiation of freshmen. This year the class followed the usual pat- tern of activities, eliminating lip- stick, a former obnoxious practice. Calling the first five days of school “W e 1 c o m e Freshmen Week,” they gave the frosh a thor- oughly happy time. An outstand- ing feature was the selling of the freshmen as slaves for 25 cents. Dan Soares, junior, acted as auc- tioneer. A total of $17.50 was made; the money helped to pay for the orchestra for the Sopho- more Return. FALL OFFICERS A.

That’s the Junior Class! Although the group of 107 members was not the largest in the school, it was outstanding for its spirit and ingenuity. Five students—Dan Soares, Mickey McGie, Don McVarish, Steven Jensen and Diane Linn—were active members of the Student Council.

That sheepskin we hold in our hands may look rather moth-eaten in passing years, but right now it looks like chinchilla. Well! Well! There’s Ray Rogers and Jack Brumley—haven’t seen them since Mr. Hills got ’em back in the fall of ’47. We entered the “01’ Brain Fractory” four years ago, most of us at the advanced age of 13, as green as all other freshmen since the beginning of time. We were soon turned lobster red (the correct shade for lipstick that year) and began to find out that Mr. McGie and Mrs. Sligar must not have taught us anything after all. How- ever, we were too busy to give that much thought because of hockey, football, basketball, band, and dancing. Remember the autumn leaves at the Freshman Reception? Now there’s a face that looks familiar. Oh, it’s Don Manes— must have sold his cows to Diann. Going back to our sophomore year! We didn’t know our own strength. We soon found out, though. We got a chance to pay back those puny freshmen for everything those massive and muscle- bound juniors had tried on us the year before. We did pretty well, too. After all, wasn’t “Windy Moore on our side? That was also the year Arthur Baker got the slightly cockeyed look from sucking eggs for the Spanish Fiesta while the rest of us practiced up on the Mexican shuffle. By the way, did anyone ever learn to “habla Espanol? Oh, yes, and it was in biology that Mr. Morris peeked out from behind the pickled specimens and glee- fully showed us how to dissect a grasshopper while the girls turned green. No wonder we all grabbed an old butterfly net and a can of cyanide and hit for the hills. Somebody must have joined the Navy in the summer of ’49 because, as “Hot Lips Guilford piped us over the side that fall, there weren’t so many of us as there once had been. A kind of my- opia had struck those remaining, too. The only thing that looks good to a junior girl suffering from myopia is a college man in a red convertible while “inversely (as Mr. Vaughn would say) those freshman babes were looking better every day to the boy with the “Boogie cut. Well, if it isn’t Maxine and Betty! Where have you been keeping yourselves? Texas? In the senior year we found out we did not know the English language. We struggled for months with English X. P.S.—Jack Neeley finally made it. Evelyn had to drive Ron to school every day after Mr. W’lcox showed us that pile of bodies in the corner. Lillian developed a neroxide glow and learned to hum “Some Day My Prince Will Come.” The boys all developed an Old Crow glow. That Slagle had more to sell than meets the eye. Molly and Dale were still the handsomest couple in the city library and Frankie and Vergil waltzed up to the old hitching post. Ken crowned Richard and Janice one night that year. Alan grew to be a man about town in a yellow jeep draped with girls. Several senior boys learned how to act. LaWanda and Nita knew how alreadv. Jay Adams learned to fasten his ears back with scotch tape, so he wouldn’t take off while skiing, and we all learned that there are more problems in life than Senior Problems ever heard of. Even Frank Britton learn- ed you can’t grow a beard on imagination alone. Some of the seniors spent February that year marooned in the hills reading “Snowbound. while Betty and Elliot polished up their CSF life mem- bership pins. So here we go, kicked into the cold world by old Alma Mater. Hey, Mom. stop scrubbing behind my ears with that sheepskin! It’s dry back there!

My Two Years In Durance Vile By Jack Neeley I was committed to the institution of higher learning, Gridley Union High, as a sophomore, October, 1948. During that, my first year of residence, I am happy to say. I was never held in “solitary con- finement,” although, at times, I thought that I would be. It was also at that time that Alan “Gashouse” McGie broke his arm while practic- ing pole vaulting for an escape over the “wall.” Thus another attempt was foiled by fate. I finally escaped to Oregon in the fall of ’49, only to be kicked out and returned to Gridley. Upon my return to the institution, I immedi- ately fell into bad company. The two villains were that notorious murderer, Wallace “Lady- killer” Guilford and his equally villainous part- ner, “Gashouse” McGie. We were captured and returned to the Gridley “prison” in early October, 1950, in order to finish serving our terms. However, we found that great changes had taken place in the battered and scarred institution. It even seemed that the bars were bigger, the walls higher, and the “guards meaner. “Gashouse” McGie and an accomplice, Ray- mond “Casanova” Rogers, attempted an escape on Senior Skip Day, a holiday of some sort, but returned and gave themselves up. fearing, as some stated, that they might be crippled for life. It was at first believed by the “guards” that Dale “The Haircut” Beck was carrying a shot gun in his pants’ leg, but it was later dis- covered that he had injured his leg in his escape attempt. And now I wish to reveal a great secret plot. Under the guise of practicing for a play of some sort—I think it’s called “It’s a Date”— some of the “trusties” are planning the over- throw of the “prison” and a daring prison break sometime in June. It is all being led and planned by those two villainous characters. Maxine “Killer” Morris and Lillian “The Cutthroat” Wickman. For telling this I demand an immediate parole for turning state’s evidence. TOP ROW. from loft to right: Donna Newell. John Dotson, LaWanda Sherman. Henry Todd, Wallace Girnoll.

Dreams of our new high school became realities when our board of trustees began making plans for the construction of a new plant. In large measure, it was through their efforts that we were able to move into the new buildings last fall. In addition to their scheduled monthly meetings, they met again and again—some- times into the wee hours of the morning—in order to take care of the many details of the new building program. The work of the board of trustees is extensive. The men work with Principal Guilford, determining school policies, working out the yearly budget, hiring teachers, and issuing warrants. Members of the board are Mr. Leslie J. Pryde, president, a farmer southwest of Gridley; Mr. Marvin Cassady, Mr. W. K. Harkey, and Mr. Walter Little, all farmers in the Gridley vicinity; and Mr. Arthur Smith, who at one time was a coach at Gridley Union High School. The order in which they have served on the board is as follows: Mr. Cassady. 1940; Mr. Little, 1942; Mr. Pryde, 1947; Messrs. Harkey and Smith, 1950.

To operate a school without teachers and administrators would be impossible. It would be difficult, also, to get along without bus drivers and a maintenance staff. With many of our students coming to school by bus, the drivers are largely responsible for their safe arrival. To qualify for a driver, a man must pass a severe test. This year boys were appointed to help Mr. Burdick in the work of keeping the new school clean. Wayne Cushing was also a helper but is not in the pictures.

This year, in their new department, they had better working conditions, and there- fore, their work was made easier and better. With the new school grounds furnishing material for outdoor pictures, the Art class- es made many sketches of their surroundings.

Training in Business is the keystone of our national life, a study of the services that business renders and of the way in which these services can be used. The general business classes attempted to under- stand and appreciate the business activities of every- day living. Shorthand is the stepping- stone to secretarial success. This year the simplified method of Gregg shorthand was taught to a class of prospective secretaries. Both the advanced and the beginning typing classes built typing techniques in or- der to prepare students both personally and vocationally. Bookkeeping I and II in- clude the skill of keeping books and filing. With the mastery of these skills, stu- dents will benefit in personal and vocational endeavors.

All freshman classes were held during the same period, so that students could be shifted from one group to another in case of necessity. The same plan was carried out for the other classes. Special help was given to students with reading difficulties. The English staff consisted of Miss Ballew, Mr. Melvin. Miss Smith, Mr. Farr and Mrs. Dunlap. B.

In spite of this inconvenience, however, an extensive program was carried out. Instruction along all the major phases of farm activities was conducted by Mr. Butterfield and Mr. Jones and a supervisory program was carried out as usual to help the boys in their home projects.

Boys interested in using their hands as well as their heads find the shop courses offered by Grid- ley High particularly helpful in preparing for their life work. This year courses under the direction of Mr. Hills included Auto Theory, Auto Mechanics, and Radio. Courses under Mr. Favero vyere Shop I and II and Mechanical Drawing. Although the year began with difficulties because of the fact that the classes had to be held in the old shop on Magnolia street, the new building was worth wait- ing for. Its outstanding features are plenty of room, good lighting and heating facilities, a lecture room, and adequate storage place for tools. Mr. Bill Townsend, senior stu- dent at Chico State College, acted as an assistant to Mr. Hills. Under the direction of Mr. Hills (left) the boys learn to repair their own cars.

Tfa 64 ANNUAL STAFF Starting out the year in a new school, new surround- ings and with lots of new ideas, the Annual Staff of ’51 got down to the business of planning the “1951 Bulldog.” After weeks of discussion, deciding, and arranging, the yearbook finally began to take shape. The staff sponsor- ed a subscription campaign and secured ads. making the “Bulldog” financially possible. It has meant a few headaches to provide a yearbook equal to those in the past but it has been fun. The staff sincerely hopes the students get as much pleasure and satisfaction from this book as the staff has.

In October. Ken Crandall. Regional president, received $100 from the Bank of America to help finance his trip to the National FFA Convention in Kansas City. Ken was also the only hoy from Gridley to receive the State Farmer degree. Throughout the year the boys attended field trips, judging and public speaking contests. With George Grid- ley as president, the chapter won second place in the Parliamentary Procedure Contest at Chico. February 28.

Because of the lack of adequate facilities at the beginning of the year, the girls were forced to omit hockey and study First Aid, instead. As soon as the gym was completed, the girls began their volleyball season. The competition was very keen between the girls as to who would win the championship. The lucky team was com- posed of juniors. The next sport on the agenda was basketball, the favorite sport of everyone. The games were very close and exciting, with the juniors coming out on top. Their instructor, Mrs. Campos, was a very able teacher, mixing rules and tests with the fun of playing the sports. When she resigned on April 1, Mrs. Lettie McGie completed the year. Other sports played were baseball, soccer, hockey and swimming in the spring. BASKETBALL CHAMPS Standing, left to right Sybil Freeman, Von- za Dewsnup. Nancy Tolley. Thelma Kofford.

Our Gridiron Queen The crowning of a football queen, November 10, at the Colusa game was a new attraction this year. Sponsored by the annual staff and the A and B boot ball teams, it went over BIG, and we hope the practice will be continued next year. Each class had a representative and the group buying the greatest number of annuals propor- tionately had their candidate chosen queen. Ev- elyn Smith, senior representative, won the honor. Her three attendants were Izella Krusick, junior; Judy Brown, sophomore; and Sandra Yates, fresh- man. David Vaca and Ron Garrett represented the A and B teams, respectively. The latter crowned the queen with a wreath of red rosebuds, a gift of the Block G boys. Also, as a lasting token, the queen was given, by the same organization, a gold necklace. She was also presented a miniature football with the signatures of the A and B foot- ball players and the coaches. The award, a gift of the annual staff, was made by June Brogdon. B. C. D.

Coming to Gridley for the first time, Coach Lapsys and his assistant. Coach Melvin, turned out a fighting team. With plenty of enthusiasm, they viewed their prospects of a winning season with optimism. The team played against many odds through the entire season. They were large, though light. When they ex- perienced reverses, the Varsity kept on in spite of injuries and failures. The tabulated scores are not a true picture of the team’s achieve- ments. B. Chalk Talk.

That’s the record of this year’s B football team. They brought to Gridley High the first football championship in many years, beating every team in their league by a sizable margin. It is hard to divide the credit of such a suc- cessful team to any one or two people. Cer- tainly Coach Ray Roberts deserves a full share for turning out a championship team the second year he handled the B team. Every man on the team played an important part in winning the championship and it Is im- possible to point out any one player and say that he won the pennant for the team. It make.� no difference if he did the actual playing or sat on the bench. It was the whole team playing and working together that won. With over 10 freshmen playing on this year’s squad, the outlook for a repeat performance next year is good. It's a touchdown! (Anderson Game) B-TEAM FIRST ROW. Buddy Linn. Bill Smith.

Our Varsity started out this year as if they were going to be league con- tenders, winning their first practice game and dropping a close decisioh to the favored Anderson Cubs. As the season progressed, their win-loss rec- ord wasn’t very impressive, but they were always fighting hard and al- ways came close, losing only 5 games by more than 2 or 3 points. All in all, the boys played hard and always put on a good show. As most of the team was composed of juniors and sophomores, next year should prove to be a very successful one. i; mmm Out of the 16 games played this year the B Team emerged the victors in 11 and had closely con- tested scores in the rest. The games had all the fire and excite- ment of those played by champ- ionship teams and brought the team second place in the league. Competition was stiff this year; nevertheless, under the coaching of Mr. Roberts, the team had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the basketball season. Among its players there is much good ma- terial for next year.
