A. .., .' DEDIUATIUN The spirit of adventure and the optimistic belief in oneis own good fortune characterized the gold mi- ner. Resourceful and independent, he left the beaten trails to break new ones, he left the old conventional pursuits to follow others unlimited by pattern and tradition. We have admired his sturdy independence, his shining hope, and his faith in himself. In this year of 1949, a hundred years after that amazing rush of men to the gentle, unawakened slopes of the Pacific Coast, we still find men reflecting the spirit of that older 49'er. Two men from the crowded diggin's of H. U. H. S. leave in the summertime to lead the unhampered life of the gold miner-free from the demands of society. Because these men have the spirit of adventure, the love of far away places, resourceful- ness, and faith in themselves, we, the students of Han- ford High School, dedicate this book to our own gold miners, Mr. Fred Marcellus and Mr. L. Brown. . te 'fi ' ff- 2?-' X... 39 ' QQ? 'gem' if Xf X6 N g f, ,N ,,.fw, 'if ' A -e. ., 4, f B, . . , .

Tibbs Early in November we were shocked by the untimely death of our friend and helper, Mr. Homer Tibbs. His death was regretted by all of us, for Mr. Tibbs in his role as trustee had been conscientious and energetic in promoting the welfare of the school. He was well liked and known to many as the father of four of our recent graduates. aule 7 letrher When school started last fall, we missed the presence of one of our fellow students, Paule Fletcher who was tragically killed in an accident at his home during the summer.. 7 HOMER L.

The speech and dramat- ics work at Hanford High continues to make us feel proud of the accomplishment of the students. The photography class of Mr. Wfahrenbrockis leads to the development of a most enjoyable hobby. There are terminal courses in our school, too, many of which are to be found in the Agricultural and the Com- mercial departments. Particularly unusual is the merch- andising course that gives the student actual practical experience on a job. The Ag department still adds many shining trophies and bright ribbons to our cabinet of awards. To aid one in his cultural appreciation and develop his creative ability, Mrs. Cooke olfers some fine art cours- es. From her building also comes the aroma of delectable food and the sound of the snip-snip of scissors as the girls plan and make striking and Well-selected dresses and suits.

Metaleraft, ASSAYERS ln the days of '49 the people in the assayer's office weighed gold and told the hopeful miners its true value. Today in the office at Hanford High the members of the office staff Weigh the excuses of hopeful students and then destroy all hopes by taking the excuses at their true value. In addition to the duties that correspond to those of the assayer, the individual members of the oflice staff have their own duties. Miss Asaki, as Mr. Hullis secretary, takes care of all correspondence and sees that the orders for supplies are taken care of. Mr. Tarviu, as attendance officer, keeps an eye on all the absent students. Mrs. Rich- mond the attendance clerk, is the one who ruins our chances of getting blue slips when she reads our excuses. Mrs. Beattie, the registrar, keeps track of the students recolds and thelr tran- scripts. Miss Giacomaaxi, the financial secre- tary, takes care of the school funds and budget.

A fine group ol' officers was elected for both semesters, with Gloria Dias and Bill Nladruga serving, as presidents. The freshman Valentine dance turned out to he quite a success, with an orchestra and everything. just before Homecoming the Latin Club and freshman class sponsored a harn dance. The social living classes. which include all the freshmen, provide a means of uniting the class in its activities. One of the special studies was that of vocations, which was concluded hy lectures from people in the various fields who answered questions and outlined requirements necessary for success. Mr. Cummins, Miss Cist, and the social living teachers have helped the fresh- men to have an active part in the life of H. U. H. S.

The week of orders and stunts and book carrying came to an end with the Freshman-Sopho- more Brawl. Although the freshmen outnumbered the sophomores, the battle was a very even one. The climax came with the tug-of-war, at which Mr. Neighbor ofliciated with the big hose. Though the freshmen won, nearly everyone had a mud bath. A swell set of officers was elected and composed an executive board that ful- filled its duties in fine fashion. A committee was appointed to select several rings for the members of the class to vote on and a beautiful class ring was chosen. In May the sophomore dance was held with the theme of an Oriental tea garden that was most romantic with its soft lantern light and unusual atmosphere. The enthusiastic dancers were particularly pleased with the orchestra from Visalia College. The year has been a happy one under the guidance of Miss Downing. Now the class members are looking forward to even more fun as they become juniors.

The majority of the football team was made up of juniors, and our basketball, baseball, track, and tennis teams had many representatives among their members. The first mark of distinction to belong to the class of '50 was the beautiful ring that was received early in the school year. The class was, and still is very proud of its selection. All agree that it is very good looking. Finally the big moment arrived in the school calendar! lt was time for the junior Prom. The theme Tropical Paradise was chosen. A great deal of enthusiasm for the Prom was aroused when students noticed the beautiful leis that were being made by most of the girls. These were sold at the dance to be worn and later kept as souvenirs. The decorations were really something! Bamboo huts, tropical fish, beautiful scenes, and even a waterfall were some of the features. There was a huge crowd at the dance and everyone had a wonderful time in this Tropical Paradise. i After considerable discussion the colors of London blue and white were chosen for the senior sweaters. The emblem to be used on the sweater was drawn by a junior and is very attractive. The class had a wonderful year, but, neverthe- less, is looking forward to the greater glories that the senior year will bring.

Itls four long years since I reached this land, In search of gold among the rocks and sand, And yet lim poor when the truth is told. Fm a lousy miner, lim a lousy miner in search of shining gold. I was covered with lice coming on the boat, I threw away my fancy swallow-tailed coat, And now they crawl up and down my hack, Fm a lousy miner, lim a lousy miner, a pile is all I lack. My sweetheart vowed she,s wait for me Till I returned, but don,t you see Sheis married now, sure, so I,m told, Left her lousy miner, Left her lousy miner, in search of shining gold. Oh, land of gold, you did me deceive, And I intend in thee my bones to leave, So, farewell home, now my friends grow cold, lim a lousy miner, Fm a lousy miner in search of shining gold. 9 An 1lllflll'llflC song sung in the days of 1849 hy the men who dug for gold in California. xww 35+ WAS , Q5 Q ' QQ -H, ri' nw fbi I wk-I I EW xmrw 'rw T1 viblvn f X ff ff I ,flgf X L Xp,- ff SH Zz Cz ffw LC rj ff K Kg4X.k - '1 if-C553 1 C K 1 C X51-L..

ADVISBRS- We Saw the Elephant In the days of 1849 the expression I saw the elephantv was very common to indicate an obstacle that was almost insurmountable. The members of our class would certainly have said it with great conviction had they not had such splendid people to advise and guide them. The first problem that faced us was how to find the gold mine that we needed to carry on all our activities. Mr. Stanley Bennett and Nliss Virginia Hastings showed us the way to the diggin,s and spent long hours with us cooking hot dogs to sell at the games and collecting cokes and candy to make the concession com- plete. Of course, the sale of our goods and the clean-up activities afterwards were shared with them, too. Nlr. Bennett and Miss Hastings helped us plan our calendar of events, gave us their counsel, and then did everything they could to make each activity one that we should cherish in our memories forever. For their patience, interest, and hours of work we wish to say thank-you. VVe know that sometimes they thought that they might be seeing the elephantis tail, at least, but every problem was solved smoothly and well. and the gold diggin's proved to be full of the nuggets of happiness and the satisfaction of real accomplishment.

Almost the entire year was spent in finding the proper claim to stake, and our search for gold was largely unsuccessful. The next year - our sophomore one - we really settled down to work, for we learned a good deal about the ufieldsi' and how they operated. We could now recognize pay dirt with no difficulty and knew how to get the color out of it. Nothing was new anymore, and the fighting for our claim had come to an end. During our junior year we almost struck it rich, but each time what we thought was a great find turned out to be nothing but foolis gold. It was during this year however, with its greater successes, that we began to be of some importance in the Cold Fields as individuals. We were elected as officers to organizations and to the Vigilante Committee. VVe were upperclassmen and some of us were well known enough to be pointed out to people as being leaders and politicians of the community. Our final year at the Cold Fields is almost over, and we shall soon leave and take much gold with us. Most of us will probably be sorry to leave the Cold Fields because it was here that we worked and played our hardest and met new 1 people to include among our friends. We loved the H. U. H.

This year it accomplished some very significant business. Outstanding in the fall semester under the leadership of President Abel Leal was the complete revision of the student-body constitution plus the addition of some amendments to facilitate the running of the government. One of these was the requirement of a nominee for a student body office to have a petition signed by Hfty members of the student body. Under Joyce Burrell, the iirst girl to hold the presidency for nineteen years, a dramatic change was instigated-the change of colors from purple and white to cardinal red and silver gray. This was only done after a lot of discussion which held many tense moments but which ended in agreement at the time of election. The decision of the type of award or emblem used and who should merit it is part of the regular business of the Executive Committee. The Committee promises that next year the His awarded to the boys will be bigger and a true block shape. Further duties of the Committee are the choosing of the artists and performers from the National Schools Assembly Programs and the picking of the Pep Girls and Yell Leaders. At the committee meetings everything is discussed from smoking on the school grounds to the sale of student-body cards. All the classes have their repre- sentatives present, and everyone including the adviser, Mr. Hull, takes part. The Rally and Games Committees, which are offsprings of the Executive Committee, decorate for all the games and prepare the tricks for the rallies and half-time periods of the games. The main purpose of these committees is the promotion of school spirit, and they are helped in the achievement of this by the cheer leaders and pep girls.

NVe, too, have a photograph album, TH:-2 -IANUS, to refer to when we wish to see the faces of our friends. It is here, however, that the the resemblance ends. In order to make a photograph album all one has to do is to paste in a few pictures and it is finished.

Next the taking of the hundreds of pictures is begun, to be followed by their printing and mounting, preparatory to send- ing them to the engraveris. After this much has been done, the dead- line is drawing near, and the write-ups have to be done. There is many an anguished moment when inspiration is needed and nothing comes but a headache. But at last it is all ready to be printed, and one wonders if it will ever get done on timeg but Hnally it is oil the press and everyone is happy.

Did you ever stop to think as you rush to get your Meteor that back in 1919 students pushed their way in line with as much fervor as they show today? We may well be proud of the continuous publication of such a fine paper. One way of maintaining inter- est is by special columns such as 'Corridor Interviews. Informative also are the articles under the head Prominent Personalitiesi' and Current Booksf' Though the staff numbered only eight this year, it did a wonderful job of gathering and editing the news, and for the first time some sophomores were permitted to work on the paper. The editorship fell to two people this year: first Randall Reid Cwho resigned because of illnessj, and second: Lois Harper. Both were eflicient in the position. Lower left: Carla, sports editor. Below: Harper, editorg Dunn, re porterg Dupuy, reports-rg Garza, sports editor. Lois Harper, editor. REUURDERS The Meteor received several ratings, one of which was an Excellent from the San Joaquin Valley Scholastic Press Association. Another honor that was bestowed on Meteor writers was the eligibility of three of the staff to the international hon- orary society for high school journalists, The Quill and Scroll. Randall Reid, Marian Dupuy, and Lois Harper were the three receiving membership.

Hanford's band received an excellent rating, and everyone was very pleased. Playing for the football games and for the basketball games Was another high spot of the band. The hard fighting of the athletes seemed to inspire the band to play their loudest. The dance of the music makers Was a huge success and the decorations de- picting the various features of the band were very eye-catching.

Learning to read music is not so easy as it might seem, many of the girls discovered. Though not so active as some of the groups, the girls still have a good many performances to their credit. For instance the Spring Concert included several selections that they presented, and the students enjoyed hearing them caroling through the halls at Christmas time. They appeared in a more formal mood for the Baccalaureate service. They Szlllg' several times over the radio for the Hanford High School program. They and their director have a right to feel very proud of their achievement. MINSTRBLS The A Capella Choir was organized last year by Nlr. Davicl Bryant as an extra-curriciilar activity. having practices schcclulecl cluriug the even- ings or lunch periocls. This year the choir has heen given regular class tnnc and is one ol' the few choirs in the Valley that received Msuperior rating at the Fresno Nlusical Festival. This group with its hcautitully hlenclecl voices ancl wiclc ancl varied repertoire was in constant clemancl. .X few of their performances that stnclents will rcnicnilmer were the carolling through the halls of the school. the Christnias program, the Opcrctta. and thc Centennial program. The Choir was the cleinonstrator at thc Nlusical Educators, Cou- ference. The A Cappella Choirs' largest undertaking was to put on a Spring Concert to raise funcls for its new robes. The concert was very successful ancl the group hopes to have the rolmes soon. Several exchange programs were arranged with other schools. ancl a raclio hroaclcast over KNLI entitled, uThe Voice ol- Youth was sent over the air. On the social agencla the Choir hacl numerous parties, inclucling a picnic ancl an ice skating party. Ol'I'lCl-IHS 4'l'11p riglill-l,efI Io riglil: Xlorrison. Secre- taryg NYrigl1t.

Of course, there is the love interest provided by Alice Sycamore fAudrey XVilliamsonj and Tony Kirby fjack Petersj, the son of the rich Kirbys QPat Tuthill and Ilarold Smith D. The tremendous difference in background and attitude toward life of the two families presents many problems, which are brought to a head when the Kirbys come to dinner on the Wrong night. The Sycamores-all but Alice -laugh it oll, but the Kirbyls donit take it so lightly. However, eventually Tony and Alice are united and all is well. Also presented by the drama department was the one-act playi'Special Cuestf' which was entered in the Visalia Tournament. This is the story of a Woman Who tries to revenge the death of her son. The characterization was adequately hand- led by the cast of joe Hose, Marlene Vienna, Pat jones, Emerson Leasnre, and jack Underhill under the direction of Nlrs. Beatrice WVeigman.

'Y AMERICAN CAMP As usual the impressive Candlelight ceremony initiating the new members of our chapter of the National Honor Society was held before the student body, and started thc year's activities for the club. A few days later thc informal initiation was held at the Chinese Pagoda where the boys were dressed up as girls and many hilarious stunts were enjoyed by all. During the Christmas season the members prepared a large Christmas bask- et, complete with turkey and dressing, for a needy family. They also Hlled a large number of lled Cross boxes for overseas use and donated 9625.00 to the Polio Fund. In March the two big events of the year took place-the snow party and the carnival. Exciting tobogganing, enthusiastic snow fights, and original snow men were part of that wonderful day. Not to be forgotten was the pot luck dinner that tasted so good to the famished members. The Carnival was enjoyed by the whole student body, for penny pitch, bingo. and darts provided lun for those who wished to try their luck or skill, the fortune teller told secrets to the curious, and the chamber of horrors gave thrills galore to the courageous. Entertaining all was the music and jitney dance. The year ended with a big party for the members only. This was a party to end all parties. As in all other activities. Randall Reid, president, and Nliss Helen .-Xustin, adviser, gave their enthusiastic support and helped to make this a success. IIONUII S0fflI'f'l'Y lmfl Io riglil Ifronl r'in'l1': Matsulmral.

HIGH-GRADERS On january 11, 1949, Hanford High School was granted a charter by the California Scholarship Federation and became the three hundred ninetieth mem- ber of that organization. The purpose of the C S F is to foster a higher standard of scholarship and broader ideals of service. Eligibility for membership is based on a point system, most of the points being derived from grades. With the exception of P. E., tan 'iA,, contributes 3 points and a Bw one point to the student's score, ten points in the preceding semester entitling the student to membership. Some points can be obtained from activities, and general good character is a prerequisite. On March 11, Bill Wright, president, and Mr. and Mrs. Duff attended ,J Q X f adistrict conference in Asilomar.

MULE SKINNERS The Future Farmers of America, the largest boys organization 011 the campus, did its usual amount of traveling and came home laden with awards and honors. During the year the young farmers took Held trips to nearby ranches to View such things as corn test plots, rabbitries, and the processes of dehorning calves and pruning trees. All of these trips helped the boys to become better acquainted with the methods that they may employ in later life. The members of the F. F. A. participated in the Kings County Fair and a number of the boys received prizes for their work. Several of the members also took their livestock to the Grand National junior Livestock Exposition at San Fran- ciscois Cow Palace where they met and talked to the noted farmers of the state. To raise money the boys gathered scrap and contributed the money they made to their rodeo fund. Preceding the rodeo, they had their traditional contest for the selection of a queen to reign over that event. As usual this attracted a good deal of student interest. The rodeo itself was a huge success, with the usual thrills as the boys showed their skill in the games and in riding the slippery, buck- ing steers. janet Smith made a most gracious ruler over the events. Altogether the boys had a successful year under the supervision of their adviser, Mr. Frank Newhall, and president Iack Tome. noso, Sentinel. Fronl: F.

Presidents Peggy Blanchard and Lucille Scott and adviser Miss Audrey Peter- man were kept busy organizing and conducting various athletic tournaments-first volleyball with Rose Marie Bettencourt's team winning the hotly fought contest, then basketball, and Hnally softball. The G. A. A. attended several playdays at other schools, including Visalia College where they walked away with two Basketball games.

Wg TENDERFBET The Hanford chapter of The junior Statesmen of America was organized in November, 1948. Its purpose is to further the understanding and intelligent use of democracy in the school and community. Membership is open to freshmen. sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have an average of or better and are interested in current affairs and government. The junior Statesmen hold regional and state conventions every year where topics of national and international importance are discussed, and resolutions are introduced for the approval of the members. This year, the president, Randall Reid, and several other members attended these state conventions. ' . ' . . , , , ' , , . W This group of twenty membeis was advisc d by Mr. Al. L.

This was one of the stunts required of the new members, and began a very active year for them and the older members. An early event in the club calendar was a Spanish dinner served by the Spanish girls in the organization. NVhat tortillas! XV hat beans! What enchiladasl Spanish environment and customs transformed the gym for the Spanish Fiesta, and everyone entered enthusiastically into the spirit of gaining prizes from the pinata and cracking the confetti-filled cascaroncs. As usual the Fiesta lived up to everything expected of it and a gay time was had by all those participating. Some Spanish movies were enjoyed by the club members, and a river party rounded out the agenda for the year with good food and rollicking spirits prevailing. M iss Berneice Little, adviser, and the two presidents, Gene Dias and .lack Underhill, were responsible for leading the group in a most successful year.

The big event of the evening was the selling of the new members as slaves to the older members. These slaves had to do anything their masters told them to do, and this sometimes lead to embarrassing consequences. The club was successful in selling candied apples at noon. These were prepared by the members themselves, and everyone enjoyed eating the sticky apples. Several movies were obtained and shown to the students to raise money for the Polio fund. These proved so successful that plans have been made to obtain more next year. To assist the Hed Cross the club filled ten boxes for overseas shipment. Before Homecoming the Latina Societas combined with the freshmen to put on a barn dance with orchestra, sale of cake and soft drinks. The gym Was appropriately decorated, and the crowd though small, was an enthusiastic one. The year ended with a picnic to Mooneyis Grove, where everyone had a Wonderful time. Presidents Dorean Wright and Dorothy Shinagawa and their ad- viser, Mr. F eole, have given the club splendid leadership and de- serve a large share of credit for the satisfying year the members have enjoyed.

At this dinner, held in .Iohnsonis cafe, the new members were properly initiated. Early in the fall the girls started planning for the King and Prince Football Dance that is the high-light of their year. Ruling at the gym, beautifully and ap- propriately decorated in purple and whitc, were King Abel Leal and Queen Nlaureen l,eCayalier. Attending them were Prince Dallas ltaulston and Princess Gloria Dias. NVork and entertainment were mixed when the girls began decorating and furnishing their new club house. They certainly didnit realize how much work it would be. but under the direction of Presidents Barbara Lewis and Sammy Nlesseuger the work was soon accomplished. To raise money the members sold license plate tabs with Hanford Hullpup written in cardinal and gray on them. The advisers, Nliss llelen Austin and Xliss Virginia Hastings, have helped the girls to formulate their plans and carry them out. VAl.KYltII'fS' I.r'fl Io righl lfrmxf mu-.' XY:-gms.

A Though the plans were already being carried out and the ro- W' mantic theme of Blue Snow advertised by original and beauti- ful posters, the dance had to be cancelled because of a polio epidemic. However, the Sub-Debs otherwise had a successful and busy year, starting with the informal initiation of their new members. The girls, dressed in purple and white clown costumes, were commanded to carry banners around the football field. The general student body greatly enjoyed their antics, and school spirit rose a bit higher. Also the initiates were requested to write complimentary poems about each old member. The Sub-Debs sponsored one of the after-game football dances and held a pretty spring dance at the Country Club where Tommy Smith furnished the music The spark plugs of the Club were first semester president, Carolyn Tibbs and second semester president Joanne Williams. They were capably directed by their adviser, Miss Mary Frances Witwer. The club closed the yearis activities with a swimming party held at the home of Alice Ciacomazzi, followed by the formal installation and initiation at a formal dinner party.

The girls proved wonderful painters although several of them went around with paint in their hair for days. Also on the service side, they Filled lied Cross boxes and donated money to several worthy organizations. Under the direction of their able presidents, Cather- ine Swanson and Carolyn Tibbs, the girls sold doughnuts on NVednesdays to raise money. They also had a cake sale for the benefit of the YVorld Fund for Girls. ln October some of the girls attended a convention at Sequoia and in March several members attended a Tri-County convention at the Tulare Fair Grounds. There they discussed the general topic of Prejudice.v As al- ways, some of the leaders were interested in methods of raising money to carry on their activities, and that subject was given some time also. The final event of the Tri-Hi-Y year was a picnic held at Niooneyis Crove. The Corcoran and Lemoore Tri-Hi-Y members were invited. The guests enjoyed themselves immensely. Miss Dorothy Downing is the patient and faithful ad- viser of the girls and has been most helpful in directing their many meetings and activities.

Some people dreamed of striking it rich, and others thought they would be satisfied with less wealth if they could only achieve a satisfying income. A sizeable nugget was always to be hoped for, and the organized companies of H.U.H.S. felt that they had found it if they could manage to get a date for an after-a-game dance. The Executive Committee had a rough time giving every group the claim it wished for but among those fortunate were the Sub Debs, C S F, and the Key Club. Though the increasing search for wealth may seem mundane, the different methods of reaching pay-dirt gave much pleasure to the '49'ers at Hanford Had the Tri-Hi-Y not needed some of the much desired dinero, those delectable dough nuts would never have been sold just at noon time on the campus. And who can forget the yummy but sticky candied apples that the Latin Club dreamed up as a sure gold mine when they were hard pressed. Not completely satisfied with this however, noon movies were attempted in Room 26-most entertaining, you re member?l And then at the basketball games the Valkyries offered big bags full of buttery pop corn-a bit salty sometimes, it must be admitted, but good, never theless. r Usually the big dances with their elaborate plans and decorations proved r1ch gold veins, but this year was an exception. Perhaps the orchestras were too costly or the students too careful of their pennies. At any rate the assayer found the metal to be filled with fool,s goldi' and the treasuries of the clubs were increased very little, though everyone concerned had fun. Hale and Randall had no trouble selling all their cream puffs at the Honor Society Carnival as people took delight in trying to hit them. And the spook house raised many a yell from the unwary who were brave enough to go through it. The Spanish Fiesta brings a bit of another country to life for us, as students enthusiastically follow other customs. The cascarones are always a hit-watch out, he has one behind his back-with everyone, and the breaking of the pinata a much anticipated climax. A new type of dance was presented by the Daubers-a masquerade with prizes and everything. The crowd in attendance entered thoroughly into the - spirit of the affair, and the most unusual and interesting costumes were created The participators feel that a urepeatv is definitely in order. The C.A.A. had another idea to strike gold, and that was to have noon dances This plan gave many students a pleasant noon time and helped to promote a friendly school spirit. To find pure gold the Future Farmers are going to stick to their rodeo and well they might, for a more interesting and thrilling show canit be found, as the great number of people who witness it will testify. The Queen contest they spon sor adds considerable interest, too. And what do they do when they find their bonanza-these modern 49 ers Why they spend it, of course. Often they help others, sometimes they promote worthwhile activities, and frequently, like other 49'ers, they gamble it freely on good food and Csoftj drinks! fx rf., wiv S 55' ffcf M , Nl 559 A gg lx. 22- .,,, mmf, 'zu h g ,:: i 5 3 , gh fx ,W,,,B M i'a-an-'W' M5 4 gpig i gimfi 3 H xi A L ' ' 'lf 'Mfqmfxgswq ,.. se, .1 fl., , 'WG' V 4 fy ka-,pW,wA,,,,,,Q E, ,,,, Q Hifir It L Qiggiqv 'Wil F ME' W4 ilk Q I r . x .

W i :Q --- g- Ji Mil- i f sg Ag : ' , Physical prowess in the days of the 49'ers was often displayed. Sometimes, suggested by their Spanish contemporaries, the contests took the form of horse racing. Often rough and tumble scuffles entertained those gath- ered together, particularly if a grudge were involved. Marksmanship, too, was a source of pride of many of the gold diggers. Today strength and skill are displayed in a team situation more frequently than in an individual one. Football, basketball, and base- ball heroes thrill the audience. But there must be a word said for the track star, boxer, Wrestler, and tennis player. Playing hard is still a part of California life. W ,Six V .

A CLASS FOOTBALL Determined charging and a scrappy spirit characterized the Bull Pups as they entered competition in the new Yosemite League under the able coaching of Stan Rasmussen and joe Lewis. Showing lots of real lighting ability, the Pups took their opening practice games. The league games, however, provided such tough competition that the team was unable to bring home the baconf' Against the heavier teams of the other schools, the Bull Pups appeared very light, and it was difficult for them to stop the other heavier teams from scoring. The brilliant work of pivot-man Abe Leal, the blocking and tackling of Pat Randall and Gordy Pierce respectively, and the running of Bob Blakeney and Gene Dias encouraged the men to play hard.

Fighting to the end against heavy odds, the Bull Pups gave their opponents a run for their money. The As, were hard to beat in spite of their lack of weight, and their fighting spirit was reflected in the wonderful school spirit shown in the bleachers. At the end of the season at a dinner given the Heavyweights, Coach Rasmus- sen presented gold footballs to Pat Randall as outstanding guard, and to Cordon Pierce as outstanding tackler. Abel Leal was chosen as all-Yosemite League cen- ter, all the more remarkable because of his light weight. A bright outlook for next yearis season is seen in the fact that there are so many lettermen returning to the lineup. With a year,s experience behind them the Pups ought to make a name for themselves and the old Alma Mater in the Yosemite League next year. Av CLASS FOOTBALL SCORES Hanford 13 Tulare ..... .........

BASEBALL Under Ed Simonich the Baseball team upheld the fame of old Hanfordis name as they beat every team at least once fexcept Fresnoj, to take third place in the standing. With the pitching of Bob Blakeney, who also walloped the old apple, and Pat Randall, Hanford had a good pitching staff. Duke,' Bean and Curtis Carter took turns catching, While both of them slugged the ball. 1. D. Peterson at second base played an excellent game, as did Earl Woods and Dick Bettencourt at shortstop and third base re- spectively. Sam Tsutsui covered the first sack Well, while Ken Izumi, Al Porto, Louis Pia, Art Cole, and Warren Short were seen in the outfield. The prospects for next year are excellent, for Hanford is losing few men because of graduation. Since the other teams will suffer greater loss at graduation time, the pros- pects for the Bull Pups next year are doubly bright. 4-1 'l'liAffK A1'rnx.s,- llelioer, l7innniek.

For years they have been the habitual champions of the Kings-Tulare League. This year they entered the Yosemite League and won all their matches. ln the process of becoming the Yosemite League champions, they beat Fresno High, who had previously enjoyed the same position as habitual champions in the League as did Hanford in the Kings-Tulare League. Later, in the Valley Tennis matches, NValter Duty and Maureen LeCavalier, Hanfordls powerful mixed doubles team, won the valley championship. Marian Du- puy, Hanfordls singles ace, also reached the finals in girls singles at the valley meet. As they upheld the name of Hanford in the Yosemite League and really showed them what little Hanford can do. we may well be proud of them and their record for this year.

B CLASS FOOTBALL The Terriers upheld the name of their Alma Mater in the Yosemite League this year. Speedy running, hard fighting, and Coach Custafsonis carefully planned razzle-dazzle plays spelled victory for the Terriers over their opponents. That nncver give-upn spirit provided the Terriers the necessary push which yielded them upset victories over their favored and larger opponents. The running of quar- terback DutchU Baulston and Crazy Legsv Dunn, along with the passing of Dick Hardin and the receiving of Daddy,' Williams, sparked the team to its victories. Taking second place in the League, the Terriers once again missed the championship by a narrow margin.

C CLASS BAS ETBALL The mightly little Cs, Went into the Yosemite League competition this year under the coaching of Ed Simonich, and Won the majority of their games. Although the games began very early in the football season, the team had very little time to practice before play started. The CSD learned to work Well together and devel- oped into a good little team. The sharp shooting of Louie Luna and Tommy Nichols, and the excellent guarding of Red,, Wilson and Sanford Slay were the factors that sparked the Mites,, to their victories. Going into the Visalia Tournament, the Mitesv took the championship once again. Taking the championship this year meant that Hanford could keep the trophy, so the boys Worked particularly hard to keep it forever in the trophy case. We can well be proud of the fine record which the Cs, made this year. fu' BASKICTBAL1,-Front row: Caitnn, Montgomery, VVilson, Slay, Nichols, Lee, Mitsuyoshl Glr xc r, Matsunaga.

Bolstered by such stalwarts as Glen Peters, record-breaker in both the dis- cus and shot-put, Al Gaitan, Bill Madruga, and Russ Cadwell, they won their share of meets. In the dual meets they won over Roosevelt and Fresno with decisive scores and lost to Edison, the championship winner. At the San Joaquin Division meet at Tulare Hanfordis Class Cv placed second behind powerful Bakersfield. Glen Peters, the strongest member of the team, broke the Cv class record in the discus at the Kern Relays at Bakersfield. Later at the Yosemite meet Glen set a new record for the League's Cv class shot-put with a powerful heave of 45 feet, 734 inches. We can Well be proud of the record the C,s made this year.
