This is true to-r many reasons and because ot many people, but one person has played such .a predominant part in our school lite that it is our wish to dedicate this boolc to him. Because ot Mr. Lolclce's untiring ettorts and ever-ready advice, our student government is the tinest in the city. l-le has also helped us all to become more school-spirited through his sponsorship ot the Boosters Club. To you, Mr. Lavier Lolclce, we, the graduating class ot I955, sincerely dedicate our annual. ADMINISTRATION 3 X 1 Y Members of the graduating class ot I955: You have already been asked, perhaps many times, What are your plans tor the future? Your answer to this question may not be too important at this time. Many ot you have not been able to decide upon your plans and those who have may change them: but it is important to realize early in lite that there is a plan and a purpose for your lite and that it is of utmost importance. Never lose sight ot the tact that, no matter what the circumstances or handicaps, God has a plan and a purpose tor your lite. It you will seek earnestly tor that purpose, there is no doubt that you will tind it. Over a period ot years at home and in school you have been getting some basic infor- mation, a general education, something of science, literature, mathematics, and a little knowledge ot your country, its methods ot government and its struggle tor existence. The importance of team work and your social obligations to others have been taught since kindergarten. ln this process you have learned much about yourselt, your abilities and your handicaps. You have discovered and admired strength of character in others and have deplored weaknesses. Now you are ready to seek and pursue the purpose ot your lite. You cannot overestimate the importance of your lite to others as well as to yourself, and much serious thought should be given to your plans. Even grades and honors are but sounding brass and tinkling cymbals it insight and earnest- ness ot purpose are missed. May I urge you to be tolerant, but never compromising, in your convictions. Sincerely, WWW ln s ite ot the inconstancy ot l-loover High School?s weary cloclcs, which occasionally have indicated the same time tor hours on end, time steadily and inexorably does march on. Birthdays occur, graduations talce place. other long-awaited events become realities. Somehow you expect each momentous occa- sion to change you almost over night. But time goes straight along without a break. Time and you together. Every moment ot your today is determining the YOU ot to- morrow. This' is indeed the time ot your lite-the time to cultivate friends who challenge the best that is within you, the time to develop habits which help, not handicap, the time to formulate a philosophy ot lite worth living and dying tor. May you lceep tresh and clear the memories ot your high school years, especially those moments when you have lcnown that you were capable ot greater ettort and greater achieve- ment. May God help you to tultill your potentiali- ties in the passing of time. JJQKZQMJ W 1 Dear Graduates: We very aptly call your graduation Com- mencement. For me, and l thinlc tor you, it is truly a beginning-the beginning of your adult lite. Legally you may become an adult at a certain specified time when you have lived a certain number ot years, but actually you reach your majority when you are no longer under the careful and close supervision you have had up until now. When you have completed the course ot study as prescribed and have been granted your high school diploma, you are on your own and your adult lite lies ahead ot you to do with as you will. My best wishes go with you, and may your experiences here at l-loover ever be a help and inspiration to you to malce the best ot that wondertul new grown-up lite ahead. 6? ,JJM-21:24 FAC LTY F.. lt it ALLEN, WENDALL B, BAER, OSCAR W.

With nineteen returning letter- men, Hoover was piclced to go all the way to the top in league play, according to pre-seas-on reports. ln the annual East-West Football Carnival, Hoover downed the Point Loma eleven I2-O. The following night the Redbirds invaded Santa Monica, who hadn't lost since l95l, and ended the Vilcings' twenty-four-game winning streak, 34-20. The Cards strengthened their status as pre-season favorites by dumping San Bernardino in a non-league tilt 20-O the next Friday. Hoover's first City Prep League game was against Point Loma. The Pointers fell to the mighty Kirchhoffmen in a thrilling 20-I3 battle. Friday, October 5, saw Hoover pitted against Kearny. The Cards were avenging a 6-O loss of last year, and more than made up for it in a 45-O blistering of the Komets. Next in the path of the Big Red Machine was Saint Augustine, who offered little resistance in a non-league massacre, 65-O. ln this game, Dean Busch, a very strong candidate for All-City, was seriously injured, not to play football again. The John Muir squad from Pasadena invaded Hoclterville only to be turned away second best, 39-I4. The Jewel City eleven met disappointment when the Hoo- ver Steamroller flattened La Jolla, 27-O. Friday, November l2, marlced the big game in Hoover's schedule. Not only would this game decide the City Prep League championship, but it was also Hoover's homecoming. Before l0,000 people, Hoover and San Diego, both un- defeated in league play, fought baclc and forth for three scoreless periods. Then with five minutes to go, San Diego made the only score of the game and it stood 7-O. Several questionable penalties resulted in the loss of two T.D.'s which could have spelled victory for the Cards. ln the last league tilt, Hoover handed Lin- coln the short end of the score, I4-7. With a 7-I season record, Hoover moved to the Southern California lnter- scholastic Federation playoffs with the first game against the Compton Tar- Left io right: Young, Bayles, Barbee, Pfisier, Slwaramilzaro.

Big John led the city in points scored and was second highest scorer in Southern California. Troy Barbee made the third S. C. l. F. team. Leek, Sharamitaro, Barbee, and Ekberg also made All-City teams. Adams and Barbee were voted co-captains of the l-loover squad. Coaches Foote and lviatthie assisted Coach Kirchhoff in producing this fine team. . .HHITB ll The Cardinal J. V. football squad, coached by Bill Matthie, Bob Kirchhoff, and l-lub Foote, turned in a fine 4-2 record for the season. After losing their first game to EI Centro in a combination sophomore-J.

However, still in the practice portion o-f the season, Hoover lost to Long Beach Jordan and Long Beach Poly. The Cardinals then entered the Kiwanis Tournament with the initial game against Chula Vista in which Hoover emerged victorious, 37-30. After a loss to Inglewood, the Cards played their last game of the tournament against Saint Augustine and came out on top, 46-34. Sweetwater High was the next to drop in the path of the Hoclcerville five, 66-33. Hoover started its league schedule right by talcing Kearny 54-32. Saint Augustine .again fell to defeat, as did Mission Bay and La Jolla. San Diego High toolc the Cards in a low-scoring fracas, 29-34. Hoover then won five straight from Lincoln, Point Loma, Kearny, Mission Bay, and La Jolla. The Red and White squad again met San Diego on the latter's court, but couldn't find the baslcet and lost, 38-51. The Lincoln and Po-int Loma games were the last two on the agenda, and the cagers from Hoclcerville had little difficulty in setting them down to defeat. With a I0-2 league record, Hoover entered the S. C. I. F. playoffs, but promptly bowed out because they couldn't beat Saint Augustine when it counted, and Saints upset us, 44-46.
