The Student Body government of Huntington Park High School is her walls. Tra- ditions and ideals of Spartans have been greatly furthered this year under the able leadership of VVallace Frasher and Clyde Miller, student body presidents. 0 The Spartan Knights were organized under the Executive Board as a service club, to main- tain order. They ushered at the play On the Bridge at Midnightf' O Letterman's Recognition Day was started. The school dances have been a success under the guidance of the Executive Board. 0 Student Body Suggestion Day was worked out by President Clyde Miller. O The Executive Board for the first semester was: 'Wallace Frasher, Student Body Presidentg Douglas Winters, Commissioner of Public Artsg David Westover, Commissioner of Financeg Nickie Bruno, Commissioner of Athleticsg Florence Cramer, Commissioner of Vlfelfareg and Clyde Miller, Commis- sioner of Regulations. 0 Second semester board members were: Clyde Miller, Student Body Presidentg Nancy Wineman, Com- missioner of Public Artsg David Westover, Commissioner of F inanceg Paul Stupin, Commissioner of Athleticsg Dorothy Rob- inson, Commissioner of Recordsg Adelle Rasey, Commissioner of Wlelfareg and Dick Cannicott, Commissioner of Regulations.

The Student Court of Huntington Park High School, under a demo- cratic government, carries out its laws which are enforced by the student body 0 Established two years ago by a Guilty as Charged, say student judges Norman Koski, Leland Hodge, Barbara Geddes, Grace Ross. The voluntary defendant at left is Virginia Sitterle. former president, Bob Crossan, the Student Court con- tinues to be a successful activity under the leadership of Wlally Frasher and Clyde Miller, student body presidents. I Under the supervision of Chief Justices Leland Hodge and Barbara Geddes the court is acclaimed by students and faculty members. Meeting every two weeks, on Vilednesday, during lunch periods, the court attracts large audiences. Sentences are meted out in the form of de- merits and detentions. O Associate judges during the first semester were Grace Ross, jack Swift, Barbara Geddes, and Norman Koski. Matti Swank, Bailiffg Florence Cramer, Court Reporter, and Paul Stupin, Sergeant-at Arms.

Page Seventeen Page Eiglzfvcn Girls' League I Problems of dress did not bother the women of ancient Sparta. However times have changed and the question of what to wear is a major problem with all girls. Ori- ginally formed to assist in solving this problem con- cerning dress regulations and general conduct, the Girls' League enjoyed one of the most successful years in its long history. 0 A great deal of the Leagues success is due to the able leadership of Miss Mary Austin, Spon- sor, Betty -Io King and Bunty Burns, Presidents. It has succeeded in reorganizing the Girls' Council, which is composed of one chief-justice and eight associate jus- tices, representatives of each class. lt has also reestab- lished the Amazon organization. O Mrs. Mary Blair NVal- lace spoke to the girls at one meeting and at another, an A Big Apple sale brought enough money to produce one of the finest Girls' League Jamboree ever witnessed here. Betty Lewis. O The League is made up of committees such as the Social Committee, Big Sister Committee, Nominating Committee, Hospitality Committee, Flower Committee, Office Committee, Little Sister Committee, Howdy Committee and Service Com- mittee. 0 Officers of the Girls' League for the first semester were Betty jo King, President, Bunty Burns, Vice-Presidentg Pat Christy, Secretaryg Carol Otterman, Treasurerg and Mary Kay Crane, Parliamentarian.

Boys' Forum C Organized to bring together the boys of the Huntington Park High School student body into closer and more friendly relationship with one another, the Boys' Forum again completed a year of successful activity. 0 Every boy enrolled in Sparta is automatically a member of the Forum. During the course of the year six meetings were held, and under the able leadership of Presidents Bob Kerley and Bob Franklin, two semesters of unusual interest were enjoyed. 0 Moving pictures, talks by prominent athletes, and a program during National Trade VVeek was foremost among the yearls entertainment. Ex-Major League baseball pitcher, Mr. john Milius, spoke to and held the interest of the group, particularly of the baseball squad. 0 Entering into the spirit of National Boys' Wleek, thirteen of the more prominent youths were chosen to rule the city of Huntington Park for one day. I Officers for the first semester were: Bob Kerley. President, Carl Duncan, Vice-President, Leland Hodge, Secretary-Treasurer, L. C. Beck, Sergeant-ab Arms. Second semester officers included: Bob Franklin, President, Earl Hedlund, Vice-Presidentg Bill Gibson, Secretary-Treasurer, Rex McDaniels, Sergeant-ab Arms. The Forum sponsor is Mr. R. M. Xlfestover, Vice-Principal. Page Nineteen Page Twenty Office Committee 0 Organized to create a friendly spirit among the girls who show their Spartan spirit by working diligently many hours without compensation is the Office Committee. O Regular meetings are held twice a month on Wednes- days. At least a semester's work in the oFF1ce is the re- quirement for membership. I The cluli is under the su- pervision of Miss Gwendolyn Patton, Several outside activities were held during the year, including a spring banquet, which is held annually, alunmae being invited. An ice-skating party was another of the social functions.

One of these organized groups to serve others is the Safety Committee. 0 Members of the Safety Committee try to enforce school regul- ations.

Each part has its sponsor. O The first division is the monitor committee Linder the direction of Mr. Merrill. The duty of this group is to assist the monitors during lunch periods. 0 Mr. VVall is sponsor of the grounds committee whose duty is to patrol grounds during lunch periods and see that they are kept clean, I Last, but by no means least, is the auto patrol, something altogether new. Mr. Doermann, sponsor, and the committee have made it their duty to try to protect those who drive cars to school as well as those who walk. By getting the license numbers of all school cars, they see that no strange cars park around the school. They also see that traffic laws are not broken by those who drive to school.

Girls' Council O Organized to act as a council to the girls of Huntington Park High School, the Girls' Council is under the leadership of Adelle Rasey, Chief-justice, this semester. 0 It was reorganized during the first semester under the supervision of Betty ,lo King, with Eloise Steinboch as Chief-justice, but did not become active until the second semester. The Girls' Council works in conjunction with the Amazons, trying to improve the social standards of girls in this community, to keep order and to further courtesy among the girls at school. Miss VVillett is faculty sponsor. 0 A girl was chosen to represent each class division, and one member was chosen at large, making a total of nine girls. These girls were interviewed by the Girls' League cabinet and asked if they were willing to give their time and effort in the position offered them. 0 The following girls were selected: Eloise Steinboch, Chief- justice, first semester, Adelle Rasey, Chief-Justice, second semes- terg Carol Otterman, Senior Ag Evelyn Dragoun, Senior B3 Mar- garet Costello, junior Ag Gail Hanson, Junior B5 Ruth Anderson, Sophomore A, Betty jane McCoy, Sophomore B3 Marjorie Hous- ton, Freshman Ag Sarah Starheim, Freshman B. l.ettermen's Council I This organization was founded to uphold the high athletic standards of Huntington Park's students. The members are care- fully selected by popular vote in the different fields of activity. All members of the student body are offered the opportunity to choose the chairman, as the Commissioner of Athletics serves in this capacity. O Each year the council sponsors a track assembly, and the Lettermen's Banquet. This year something new is being attempted, in making the day of the banquet Lettermen's Recogni- tion Day, in order to pay special tribute to the star athletes of Huntington Park High School. O The present members are as follows: Paul Stupin, chairmang jack Boyer, footballg Al Pruit, swimming and water polog Paul Koeckritz, track g DeVere julian. basketballg Vincent VVilhelm, baseballg Rene Simonin, golfg Carl Bower, tennisg and Harold Rotherrnel, gym.

Spartan Knights I The Knights of old Sparta were line, but their ideals can not compare with the ideals of the Spartan Knights of Huntington Park High School. O In 1932, a committee met to form an organization with the ideals of the present Knights, but there was a lack of enthusiasm, so the organization was not formed. O Last semester a committee headed by VVallace Frasher and consisting of Clyde Miller, Bob Kerley, Doug VVinters, Dick Cannicott, and Bill Pankonin met with Mr. Detter and formed the constitution of the present Spartan Knights. A limit of twenty-five members was made and twenty-one members were elected. O The system was established for each Knight to have a squire who is not a member, but who may be elected as a vacancy occurs. Mr. lfVestover is the faculty adviser, but Mr. Detter's advice is also welcome. 0 Coach UPep Johnson is an honorary member of the Knights with all the powers of a Knight. Alumni who were Knights retain all their powers except that of voting, and they are invited to attend the meetings, I The purpose of the Knights is to maintain the high standards and ideals of the school and to keep the campus clean. The Knights have no set duties, they do anything that will improve the school. They work with the local police in matters concerning the school. The biggest problem they have been called upon to solve so far was the breaking into lockers. C There are three officers: president, vice- president, and treasurer, but the Knights keep the names of those who hold them a secret, they do not want the individual members to have to bear the grudges of the public. 0 The only social event on the Knightsl calendar was the banquet given by the Knights for their squires. 0 The Spartan Knights, an organization of serv- ice, is one of which Huntington Park High School may be justly proud. AITIGZOIIS I Spartan spirit is exemplified by the Amazons of the Girls' League. In the days of old Sparta, it was up to the men to keep order. The Amazons have adopted the spirit of those warriors, keeping order in Girls' League assemblies. Their duties also in- clude supervision of girls on the grounds. I The organization was disbanded after the earthquake, and reorganization, started at the first of the semester under Betty Jo King, was completed during the second semester under the leadership of Bunty Burns, President of the Girls' League, One-hundred and thirty girls chosen, were interviewed by Adelle Rasey, Gail Hanson, Nancy VVineman, Margaret Costello, Betty jo King, Eloise Steinboch, and Bunty Burns. I Dorothy Renfro, President of G. A. A., automatically became chairman of the Amazons. Miss Mary Alice Austin is faculty sponsor. O Thirty girls were chosen from each class, to supervise their own classmates. Each Amazon has an assigned position in the auditorium for the Girls' League As- semblies, and it is her duty to keep order and secure courtesy among the girls in her section. If someone makes any unnecessary disturbance she quietly goes to the girl and asks her to step out of the auditorium. The offender is given a citation and must appear before the Girls' Council.

FARIAIIFW Page Tztfmzfy-six Parent-Teacher Association I Organized in 1924, the Huntington Park High School Parent-Teacher Associa- tion has been fortunate in the type of members and officers it has attracted to its ranks. Each year a theme is agreed upon as representing the aims of the group. In line With world trends, the theme for 1938 is '4Peace Through Understanding. I Many hue services were rendered the student body and faculty during the year. Financial aid was given needy students, a teachers' reception was tendered the faculty, a quota of Community Chest workers aided the chest fund, committees were organized covering art, social hygiene, juvenile protection, legislation, recrea- tion, radio and safety. The Association actively stresses community development. A sponsor was secured for the Girls' Tri Y group, financial assistance was given the Camp Fire Girls, and members participated in the activities of the Co-Ordinat- ing Council, under the chairmanship of Principal Ralph Detter. 0 Leaders for the 1937-38 year were Mrs. Donald R.

Summer Graduates I As the last days of the senior class come to a close around Huntington Park High School campus, thoughts wander back over the good times enjoyed here. Since their arrival four years ago, members of the class have estab- lished a brilliant record of achievement as leaders in the fields of scholarship, athletics, debate, music, literature and student government. 0 The first affair of interest to girls, was the Senior Tea, when they entertained their mothers in the cafeteria. The most successful social affair of the year followed, when the Juniors honored the Seniors at the Prom, a dinner-dance at the Lakewood Country Club. 0 Climaxing the four years is Senior Top row, left to right: Maurice Mechanic-h, Esther Reddick, Bob Binyon, Carl Duncan. Seated: Margaret Matson, Claire Andrade, Barbara Geddes, Bob Franklin, Grace Ross. Wfeek. This is the first time that social events have been extended to the Seniors as a farewell tradition, Con- cluding this round of gay activities came the more solemn and impressive Baccalaureate and graduation exercises. O First semester officers were: Bob Franklin, President, Carl Duncan, V ice-President 5 Claire Andrade, Secretary, Esther Reddick, Treasurer, and Bob Binyon, Sergeant- at-Arms. Officers for the second semester are: Barbara Geddes, President, Maurice Machanich, Vice-President, Margaret Matson, Secretary, Grace Ross, Treasurer, and Bob Binyon, Sergeant-at-Arms, C Faculty members who sponsor the class are Mr. Thompson, chairman, Mr. Jack- son, Miss Thoborg, Miss Snyder, Mrs. Abbot, and Mr. Burditt.

Page Forty-,vczfcu Page Forty-eight Spartan Oracle Speaks Time: 1938: One of those drowsy spring days. Scene: Classroom, Huntington Park High School. Characters: Class of '38, 0 Teacher: I just know you children are dying to resume your discussion on the Trojan War of so long ago. Mary Kay Crane, will you tell us what happened. Oh dear, we must be having an earthquake. Oh me. Oh . . .d. Go on, Mary Kay, it was only Clyde Miller snoring. 0 Clyde Miller: CDoing his bit for the benefit of higher education.j Snnnzzzzzzzz .... foooooooo, snnnzzzzzzzz .... fooooooo. I Teacher: XVell really, Clyde, we are speaking of your forefathers. You could at least pretend you are listening. CI hate anyone who snores in his s1eep.j I just a gentle hint, Clyde. fNote: Never let it be said that a teacher bothered Clyde.Q He goes right on sleeping. VVait! Clyde is starting to dream. fDon't ask us how we know, just take our word for it.j Clyde finds himself riding a beautiful orange and grey horse. fYes orange and grey. V ell, was you dare?j Clyde gallops through the ages to make a marvelous three-point landing. A man with a profile and build like Apollo only with more of a beard, attired in a 'cattle-tale grey toga, greets him. Hi, baby blue eyes, with your rosy cheeks and your curly locks, what you- all wantll' 0 Clyde: Gee, gosh, if I were only Margaret Reid or Ruth Streeter. Speak up man, where am I? fThat sounds like Virginia Sitterle when she has just made a graceful passout in front of the boyfriendj 0 Apollo: You are in Greece, slave. I am the keeper of the Oracle! I Clyde, in deep thought Cjokej: Oracle, so it is. CMumm, I don't remember studying about any such beast. . . Oh, now it all comes back to me. Delphi . . . Greece . . . The Oracle!i'j O Apollo: Silence, slave. The Delphians are our worst competitors. VVould you believe it, they use cut-throat methods. just like chain stores Qcommercialj. For a mere golden apple they foretell the future to anyone. But we're different, we Spartans have purer ethics. Our Oracle is for Spartans only. O Clyde: CDisplaying his letterman's sweater proudly.j I'm a bit of a Spartan myself, if you know what I mean. How's about an introduction to the Oracle, herself, in person. 0 From a deep chasm comes a voice: W'hat is it you wish to know, Spartan? I see all, know all: inci- dentally I tell all. fNow you know why we called her a woman.j O Say Orie old pal, what will the class of '38 be doing in '49?

Page Forty-nine Page Fifty Ephebians 0 Like the Ephebians of ancient Sparta, who constituted a distinct official order, recognized and honored by the state and regarded by the people as the hope and pride of Athens, so is the Ephebian Society at Huntington Park High School. This society is recognized by all high schools in the Los Angeles City School District as an honorary society. O It is composed of students who have distin- guished themselves in the school, and are chosen by the faculty and members of the graduating class. The basis of their choice is superior scholarship, character, and leadership. I The purposes of the club is to encourage civic leadership. 0 Membership in the society was awarded to Carolyn Gojeski, VVallace Frasher and Stanf ley Hanson in the first semester. 0 Ephebians take this oath XV e will never bring disgrace to this our city, by an act of dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever desert our suffer- ing comrades in the ranks. VVe will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city, both alone and with many. VVe will revere and obey the city's laws and do our best to incite a like respect in those above us who are prone to an- nul or set them at naught. VVe will strive unceasingly to quicken the public sense of civic duty. Thus in all these ways, we will transmit this city not only not less, but far greater and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us. O Summer Ephebians have not been chosen at the time of going to press. Commencement Speakers 0 The selection of Valedictorians is held as an honor by every graduating class. It is an honor bestowed upon Senior A students who have ability or talent in speech work. I Representing the VVinter graduates of 1937, were Stan Hanson, Gerard Lloyd and Wallace Frasher, speaking of 'iLife, Liberty and Pursuit of Happinessfy In rotation Stan Hanson spoke on Life, Gerard Lloyd on Liberty and VVallace Frasher, A'Pursuit of Happiness. 0 America the Beautiful is the theme of Summer Graduation. Four students will reign as commencement speak- ers. Eva Mae Adkisson will speak on Natural Beauty of America, Floyd Col- glazier of Political Ideals of America, Margaret Reid 4'Culture of America and Artel Ricks i'Spirit of America. I This is the first year in which the iScrip- ture' will be read by a student at Baccalaureate services. Graduation will be held in the bleachers on Reeder Field. Robert Flournoy, Bob Campbell, - Bill Styler, Carl Duncan, Betty Patle son, Jane Mireau. Senior Bee Class O Chosen because of ability and outstanding activities, Senior B class leaders were largely responsible for the prominence of the class. A spirit of enthusiasm and initiative exhibited by the Senior B's this past semester shows that they will lead the student body ably next year. I Privileges have been awarded equally to Senior A and Senior B classes, such as permission to wear senior sweat- ers, have their own officers, and in general provide for their own progress. 0 The Senior B's combined with the Senior A's in pre- senting tlie Senior Frolics program to the student body during a recent assembly. The program was in the form of a radio broad- cast, presenting singing, dancing, the swing band, and other enter- tainment. O Brown Senior sweaters with yellow emblems in the shape of a Spartan head, were received by the students in the late spring. O Officers for this semester are Bob Campbell, Presi- dent, Bob Flournoy, V ice-Presidentg Betty Patterson, Secretaryg Jane Mireau, Treasurer, and Bob Styler, Sergeant-at-Arms. The sponsors are Mr. Thompson, chairmang Mr. Burditt, Mr. Jackson and Miss Feely. t -'dz Page Fifty-one Page Fifty-Iwo Junior Class 0 VVith a gust of enthusiasm the junior class swept through a very successful year and upheld traditions in carrying through to a completion several worthwhile proj- ects. I In accordance with custom the class ushered for Baccalaureate vesper and Commencement exercises. The class made a fine record in track athletics, losing to the Seniors by a close score of 3 points. O Among the enjoyable social affairs for the junior girls was a breakfast held May 2, sponsored by the Girls' League. Near the end of the semester the class produced for the student body an assembly program to publicize the junior-Senior Prom. The program took the form of a radio broadcast. 0 To conclude the year's activities, the juniors presented to the Seniors the most unique prom the school has ever witnessed, held at the beautiful Lakewood Country Club. First there was a dinner arranged by the club chef. Then came a truly enjoyable program of music and dancing to the rhythmic strains of Ray Dietrich and his orchestra. The affair was without doubt the event of the school year. 0 The success was due mainly to the intelligent leadership of the class officers and the cooperation of the students. Officers for the First semester were: Dick Cannicott, Presidentg Bill Pankonin, Vice-Presidentg Evelyn Anderson, Sec- retaryg Margaret Costello, Treasurerg Harold VVood, Sergeant-at-Arms. Second semester ffiyrs were: Bill Pankonin, Presidentg Russel Ray, Vice-Presidentg Margaret L vftello, Secretaryg jane Rice, Treasurerg Harold XVood, Sergeant-ab Arms. l l l Left bo right: Evelyn Anderson, Margaret Costello, Dick Canni- cott, Bill Pankonin, Russell Ray, Harold Wood, Jane Rice. if --f for Top row, left to right: Ed Dowd, Jaek S nlth, Shirley Glov- er, Elgin: niisy, i.0r.sinQ wi ey 42' Front row: Llisldi Ch m'1or ain.

Sophomore Class 0 Showing more than the usual amount of spirit and pep, the Sophomore class Was led by a competent group of of- Hcers who worked with tireless effort to carry out new ideas and activities. O The class planned several extra- ordinary activities heretofore unheard of in lower classes, but due to unavoidable circumstances, most of them were cancelled. A skating party was held at the Shrine Skat- ing Rink in December. The profits went into several beaut- iful Christmas baskets, distributed Christmas Eve by the class president. O Although not on top the class contrib- uted greatly to the potato race at Christmas time, and had one of the prettiest baskets. 0 Officers for the first semes- ter included: Ed Dowd.

Freshman Class O In old Sparta, the younger generation was a necessary evil, something to be endured, and something of very little use, but times have changed. In 1938, in new Sparta at Huntington Park High School, the Freshman class is looked upon with pride. Spartan hopes for the future are based upon the Class of '4l. From this class will come the leaders of tomorrow I The Freshman class has little to do officially in school life, but it has made its presence known in countless small ways. They were very much in evidence at the inter-class track meet and during the annual potato race: proving that even if children should be seen and not heard, actions speak louder than words, for the Freshman class is heard often, O Many commented on how well they had assumed their only real responsibility, decorating twice a year for the Baccalaureate service. O Behind the scenes in Freshman life was the committee of sponsors headed by Miss Vtlillet and including Miss Bayliss, Mrs. Greenwalt, Mr. Squire, and Mr. VVall. Officers for the first semester were: James Crowl, President, Norman Dudley, Vice-President: Barbara Rivers, Secree tary, Lettie Tadd, Treasurer, and Spud Peterson, Sergeant-at-Arms. Second se- mester oflicers were: Norman Dudley, President: Reuben Pearson, Vice-Presidentg XVanda Buchanan, Secretaryg Barbara Rivers, Treasurerg and Donald Entz, Ser- geant-at-Arms.

Print Shop 0 Vocational printing in school is unique. It gives the boys real printing as it is done on large news- papers. 0 There are two types of printing which students in the print shop may take, exercises and production. Boys in vocational printing de- vote all their energy to getting out production and job work. XVork on production includes the year book, lnk Spots and Spartan Shield, while job work takes care of all printing for the school such as programs, posters and tickets.

Spartan Choir O Like the Spartans of old who allowed only the fittest to survive, Mr. Bryon Burditt takes only the best of the school's singers for the Spartan Choir. Any person who aspires to become a mem- ber of the Spartan Choir must first take a voice test. This is done to keep the four parts well bal- anced. The choir is made up of between forty and fifty boys and girls. 0 The Spartan choir represents the school on programs in school and outside, and takes a leading part in the Christmas programs. The May Festival is another of the choir's annual activities. In June and in Feb- ruary, the choir takes part in the Baccalaureate and commencement programs.

Their uniforms consist of white shirts, dark skirts, and scarfs decorated with eighth notes. 0 There is some real talent in the classf, says Mr. Bryon L.

I Their repertoire includes standard and classical trios of the best composers. I They played for numerous school activities such as Parent Teachers Association meetings, Scholarship Ban- quet, assemblies, Girls' League Jamboree and Baccalaureate. 0 All three students being graduating seniors, the Trio expect to carry on their work, and some day may represent their Alma Mater in the professional held.

Senior Band 0 Like the Spartans who waged warfare against the an- cient Greek cities and caused excitement, the Senior band has created spirit and enthusiasm among the students. Ranking as one of the top three bands in Los Angeles, Huntington Park High School is justly proud of its large and colorful band. O Entered in many activities, the band was featured in more programs this year than ever be- fore. They appeared before the Kiwanis Club, and march- ed in the Armistice Day parade. They supported the school with unusual zeal and enthusiasm at a majority of the football games, cliniaxing the season with a bril- liant performance at the Football Carnival in the Coh- seum. 0 One of the outstanding features of the Senior band this year was the six drum-majorettes who led the 100 members of the band and chorus at all appearances. This charming sextette consists of Pauline Tomlinson, head drum-majorette, and her five assistants, Evelyn An- derson, Betty Duncan, Betty Garrison, Betty Haring, and Betty Melvin. They made a tremendous hit whenever they twirled the batons, and wherever they appeared, cam- era shutters were sure to be heard clicking, Top row, left to right: Art Schuricht, Betty Dubois, Virginia Beeson, Donald Fowler, Carl Watson, Leslie Epperly, Leon Evans, James Beeson, Joe Mathias.

Yell and Song L26d8l'S O School spirit soared to a greater height this year, through the efforts of the Yell and Song leaders, who led the Spartans to victory in true gladiator form. I A rooting section was organized of about SOO students to create a finer school spirit. 0 Two swing yells were composed by members of the student body, Spartan Swing Yell and Spartan Locomotive. O Yell leaders, Dick VVren, Fred Schardt, Gene Hamlin, and the song leaders, Ann Davis, Jane Rice, Guelda Chamberlain, and Virginia Grew were on hand at all varsity football and basketball games, assem- blies, and debates, to lead the cheering, 0 Gray trousers and orange sweaters were the costumes of the yell leaders while the song leaders carried out the school colors in gray culottcs and orange sweaters. I Dick Wren climaxed his career as king yell leader in February. The song leaders will return next year to carry on Spartan Spirit. O The student body has cooperated with the yell and song leaders during all athletic games and assemblies. Masquers 0 In much the same position as the artful Thes- pians, who provided the citizens of Sparta With verbal entertainment, is our Masquers Society, a group of ninteen members representing the finest in modern Spartan prolation. O Well represented in all activities of oral expression throughout the school, the society is guided by Miss Lucille Bick- ley, head of the drama department, and G. W, Culbertson, debate coach. 0 The ranks of grad- uated members are filled by the election and in- duction of Hneophytesf' which occasion proved to be one of the high lights of the school year.

Page Seven! y- Jive Page Seventy-six Gavel Society O Imitating the fiery orators of ancient Sparta, Huntington Park high school debate students are moulding themselves, under the direction of Mr. G. W, Culbertson, into miniature Demosthenes. Recognized early in October as an outstanding speech school, Huntington Park was elected president of the Southern California Debate League for the school year. Seymour Vinocur was chosen to serve as president of the league. 0 Le- land Hodge and Nlfallace Frasher were chosen to represent Sparta in the first Southern California league debate. Cathedral high school fell, on November 12, to the sharpened swords of Hodge and Frasher on Sparta's own battleground. O Encouraged by the victory of the first forensic tilt of the season, Huntington Park entered the University of Southern Cali- fornia Invitational Tournament. Competing against all Los Angeles, Nancy NVineman placed in the finals of original oratory. Three debate teams fought valiently until the seventh round when they were forced to retreat because if shattered forces. The teams were Bob Campbell and Leland Hodge, Clarence VVilliams and Seymour Vinocur, and james Mize and john Horth. The subject of this tournament, as well as that of the previous encounter wi 'V Cathedral team, was Resolved, HThat the several states should ador' ' unicameral system of legislation. 0 In january, Clarence Williams an-i Wallace Frasher traveled to Alhambra High School to engage the Moors ' the question of popular referendum on war. Upholding the affirmative, Sparta went down to defeat, to break a chain of victories ex- tending over mf years. I Forensic warriors then decided that in order to further spc. fl activities and foster friendship among debaters a debate society snot 2 be formed. Acting upon this suggestion, a constitution was drawn up and the Gavel Society launched. Debate lettermen, shown in the picture below, are the charter members. Elected officers were: Maurice Machanichg Presidentg Paul Stupin, Vice-President: Bob Campbell, Ser- geant-at-Armsg Artel Ricks, Parliamentarian.

Service Committee 0 Spartans of yore had but one idea in their minds, to take care of themselves. If a person could not provide for himself, he was lost. Spartans of today have changed. 0 'iService to the school is the old Spartan motto of the Service Committee. 8 Under the sub-chairmanship of Ruth johnson, the committee does the poster work for the school and sees that old placards are removed. During the football season they decorate the goal posts. 0 Another duty of the Service Committee is to help the Amazons to supervise the conduct of the girls in Girls' League assemblies and to help serve at the VVorld Friend- ship banquet, Junior Breakfast, and -Girls' League Jam- boree. The girls have held several social functions. O The thirty members elected, as officers for the first semester: Doris Strader, Chairman, Jeanne Pearson, Vice-Chair- mang Veneranta Somerville, Secretary. 0 Second semes- ter officers: Margarita Viiallace, Chairman, Helen Reed, Vice-Chairman, and Betty Ann VVard, Secretary, Program Committee 0 Girls of Sparta had no place in the program of Spartan life, but in 1938 Spartan girls have a committee to plan the programs for the Girls' League, important to them. 0 The Girls, League Jamboree and the Junior Breakfast were the main activities of the Program Committee this semester. The committee planned the Girls' League meet- ings. O The Vice-President of the Girls, League auto- matically becomes the Chairman of the Program Com- mittee. This committee is under the sponsorship of Miss Harriet Pidduck, and consisted of approximately thirty members. 0 During the first semester they were under the leadership of Bunty Burns, Chairman, with Jean Aiken as Vice-Chairman and Margaret Matson, Secre- tary-Treasurer. 0 During the second semester Mary Kay Crane was Chairman, with Mary McClary as Vice-Chain man, and Fern Lobaugh as Secretary-Treasurer.

Welfare Committee O Contributions to the Children's Orthopedic hospital at Christmas and Easter is a custom of the Girls' League Welfare committee. Three dozen dolls were made and presented to the hospital during the Christmas holidays. 0 The aim of the committee is public service. As true Spartans of old, they express the sympathy of the Girls' League to those who are absent by reason of illness or death in the family, and strive to be of service to them in every possible way by telephoning and sending Spartan Shields. They supervise all philanthropic work of the Girls, League. 0 Despite the activity of the club it is one of the least publicized committees in the Girls' League, and not many know of its activities, so the club is small. 0 Ofhcers for the first semester were: Grace Ross, Pres- identg Evelyn Ball, Vice-Presidentg and Eileen Murphy, Secretary. Second semester officers are: Eileen Murphy, Prcsidentg Evelyn Ball, Vice-President, and Patsy Pat- more, Secretary. Much of the success of the club activi- ties was due to the able assistance of the sponsor, Mrs. Grace Harrell. Finance Committee 0 In the days of Sparta, finances were as troublesome as today but the Girls' League has a committee to take charge of money making. 0 The Finance Committee is organized to increase the funds of the League. The trcasurcr of the Girls' League is always chairman of the finance committee. O Their main project during the year is Color Day. They devote meetings to the making of leis, Howcrs and small grotesque dolls in school colors. These are sold to students on Color Day. 0 Miss Thoborg. mathematics teacher, was faculty sponsor during the first semester, turned her position over to Mrs. Kramer, Eng- lish teacher for the second semester.

Junior Red Cross O Under stern discipline the Spartans became a race of resolute warriors. The wounded were cared for but in a primitive fashion because of lack of equipment. O The Junior Red Cross is an international institution. The club's chief aims are: to foster international friendliness through the exchange of materials, booklets, letters, and albums with junior Red Cross members of other countries. The funds of the club were used in the last several years for such things asg plastic surgery for children whose faces had been fright- iully disfigured in a bus accidentg a SOO-volume library for the children of the settlers of the Mat- anuska Valley in Alaskag stories in braille for blind childreng health helps, such as drinking fountains for schools that couldn't afford them. O The Huntington Park high school branch, un- der the capable guidance of Miss Gray is among the newest of the schools organizations. O Ofli- cers are: june Adriance, Presidentg Rachel Don- ahue, Vice-Presidentg Virginia Reed, Secretaryg Carolyn Vllilliains, Treasurer.

W ' ' ,,vi1a4s,ul..x11:..e:vfo' ' A ' ' H.P. vs. Southern League 0 Boasting of the strongest football team since Huntington Park entered the Southern League, Coach Pep johnson's grid squad wound up the season with a satisfactory record. I Three Spartan gridders gained recognition as All-Southern League stars. Bob Campbell, for the second successive year, was chosen at end, and placed on third team of the All-City squad. jack Swift, who led the team to victory more than once, was selected as second string fullback, and was fifth leading scorer throughout Los Angeles. Harold Nelson, although one of the small- est linemen in the Southern League, placed on the All-Southern second team as guard, because of his ,aggressiveness and alertness. I jack Swift was elected captain of the orange-and-grey squad, while George Toombs was selected as the most valuable man on the team, due to his ability to play any position on the line when needed. 0 Following are the seniors graduated from the squad: jim Davies, Lewis Stephens, Madison Swank, Clyde Miller, George Toombs, Rodney Gricourt, Jack Swift, Vincent Wilhelm, Nick Bruno, and Dick Lewis. 0 Under the able lea- dership of Nickie Bruno and Paul Stupin, Commissioners of Athletics, greater student suport was stimulated this year. I The coaching staff included Pep Johnson for the Varsity squad and E. Y. johnson for the Bee squad. I Scoring one of the highest prep grid scores in the city, the Huntington Park eleven smothered the Riis Vikings with a smashing score of 33 to 0. Davies' running and passing was the highlight of the game, one of his runs was good for 65 yards and a touchdown. I In the second encounter of the season, the second string eked out a one-point victory over the Dons of San Fernando, Valley champs. The nnal score was 7 to 6. 0 Upsetting all grid dope, a favored Fremont eleven was squelched by the lighting Spartan gridders, 15-7. Swiftis two touchdowns, and Nelson's blocking of a punt, which was good for a safety, were the outstanding events of the game. O jefferson, a team which had previously held Manual to a 7-O score the week before, faced a stunning defeat at the hands of the Parkers, 13 to 7. A goal line stand in the waning minutes of the game proved the powerfulness of the Spartan line. 0 Starting on the downward trail, the Spartans suffered their first set back of the season, losing to the XVashington Generals, 12 to 2. The Spartans were totally outplayed in the second half. 0 Outplaying, but not outscoring, the Spartan grid eleven lost all hopes of a Southern League championship by being punished, 6 to 0, by the Polytechnic eleven, who cashed in on all breaks. The Spar- tans scored 19 first downs to the Parrot's one, during the course of the game. 0 Manual Arts, city champions, proved their stability, by handing the Spartans their greatest set back of the season. The Toilers outcharged the Spartans in three of the four quarters to gain a 25 to 6 victory. A pass from Davies to Swift from the nine-yard line was good for the Spartans only touchdown. O ln a post sea- son grid fracas, an underdog Bell eleven tied with the Spartans 6 to 6.

Football--Lower Division C Although Coach lf. Y. johnson had very few returning lettermen to bolster the squad, he succeeded in whipping together a formidable aggregation to pit against their Southern League opponents. 9 In the initial encounter of the season, the Varksters went down to defeat in the last minute of play. Inglewood Sentinels scored a touchdown and converted to win by a single digit. O Meeting their hrst league foe in the guise of a fighting Fremont team, the locals came out with a 6-6 deadlock against their cross-town rivals. Q Against jeff, the Spartababes really seemed to hit their stride. They cake-walked through this game, 12-0. O The men from the hills, better known as the Xiiashington Generals, were next for the Park lighties. This tilt proved to he a tough battle, ending in a 7-7 tie. U Polytechnic was the next squad the Parksters faced. They dropped this tilt hy the score of 6-O. 0 Manual was destined to take their battle over the locals, as they proved conclu- sivcly when they sent the Spartans home after ekeing out a 6-0 win over the local pigskinners. 0 In the only post-season game, the Parkites took the championship of the Southeast district, trimming the Bell Eagles to the tune of 17-6. Varsity Basketball O Huntington Park basketball squad, considered one of the best teams in the Southern League, Finished in a tie for third place, with Manual Arts and Fremont grabbing top honors. Spartan cagzrs, in the early part of the season, were a decided thrcat for the crown, until a three-game losing slump put them out of the running. 0 Leonard Buchanan, sharpshooting forward, captained the team through its successful season, and DeVere Julien, ace guard, was selected as the most valuable man on the team. Doug Wlinters, pivot man of the squad, led his teammates in scoring, and was one of the highest scorers in the city, with a total of 125 digits. 6 Marion Buff Ballard, all-city guard. was once again up for all-city honors. Don Moore, a ncw man, lcd his team to triumph. 9 Others who bolstered the squad were L. C. Beck, stellar substitute, Otto Lensing, Tom Allister, George Cook, and Jack Tomlinson, comprising thc second team. 0 Huntington Park's championship eager squad was doomed to disappointmfnt in their effort to retain the crown, when they lost their hrst league encounter to Frcmont High School, 34-20. 0 Before thc Christmas vacation, Huntington Park appeared as a major threat, defeating jeffer- son, Viiashington and Polytechnic by overwhelming scores. These high scores were due to Lenny Buchanan and Doug Wlinters, forward and center, respectively. 0 After the holidays, the Sparta casaba tossers met three consecutive disheartening defeats, losing to Manual Arts, 32-27, to Fremont for the second time, 51-39. and to Jefferson, 33-26. 9 ln the last three games the Spartans finally snapped into form, winning by lopsided scores, due to the close guarding of DeVere Julien and Buff Ballard and the three sharpshooters, 'Winters, Buchanan, and Moore, at the Spartan front wall. I First to meet defeat was the General cagers who lost to the tune of 37 to 29. Don Moore led the attack for the Poly game, scoring 17 points, and the Spartans, for the first time that year, totaled more than 50 points, tri- umphed 56 to 26. I Climaxing the melon tossing season, Huntington Park, led by Doug VVinters, who piled up a total of 21 points. the highest scored by any one Spartan, overwhelmed Manual Arts, Southern League championships, 40 to 24.

Bee Basketball Q Huntington Park's 'iBee Basketball team, al- though they didn't take the championship, proved themselves a worthy squad during the 1937 hoop season, O Led by Billy Gibson, Rex McDaniels, Gino Dorazzio, Dick VVren, and Gene Hamlin, the Spartans went through a tough season in a unique style. I Coach R. E. Squire, who coaches the local Babes, used a second line of defense to relieve the first string. They proved themselves to be of very high caliber. Ed Eatherly, Jim Neit- man, Bruce Given, james Ukita, and Kenny Wren made up the second line of defense. 0 Carl Bauer, George Hachten, and Eugene Rock were also re- serves who faced a large share of the battle. 0 Before entering Southern League competition, Squire's boys fought Compton, Montebello, Ex- celsior, and Franklin high school squads, winning the majority of the practice games. 0 Scores for the first rounds of league competition were: Hunt- ington Park 17, Fremont 295 Huntington Park 37, Jefferson 23g Huntington Park 21, Washing- ton 15g Huntington Park 16, Polytechnic 23 3 Huntington Park 33, Manual Arts 16. fee Basketball I The best 'Cee' basketball team I have ever coachedf' This statement of Coach Neander, shows what kind of a squad represented Huntington Park this season. It was undoubtedly Spartais strongest squad in many years. 0 In their First league game, against Jefferson, the locals emerged victorious by a 24-l3 score. Popoff proved to be the guiding star in this tilt. 0 For their next encounter the Spartans met the Vlfashington Generals, whom they overcame, 22-19. This was one of their toughest games. 0 Sparta next took the court against Poly. The Parrots were beaten, 37-32 by the fast H. P. quintet. I Roosevelt was the next victim on the local boys' list. They fell be- fore the Parksterls assault, 39-23. I VVhere the Varsity and Bees failed, the Cees succeeded when they trounced Manual Arts, 19-9. This game was for the championship of the Southern League and the Park Cees were tops for the second consecutive year. O Many of these boys return next year and the prospects for a championship Bee team look bright.

Baseball Tennis Page One Hundred Eleven Page One Hundred Twelve Varsity Baseball 0 Wfinning six out of the last eight games, Huntington Park's Varsity baseball squad was just beginning to hit their stride when they woke to find the season ended and themselves in the cellar of the Southern League. 0 Coach Squire started by attempt- ing to build his squad with three returning lettermen, Don Moore, Harold Atkin and Bill Diss. Standing, left to right: Dick Cannicott, Emil Orsat, Gus Callas, Art Gerhkens, Ray Smith, Ralph Dishma son, Art Schuricht, Harold Wood, Howard Garter, n, Jim Federico, Coach R. E. Squires. Kneel- ing: Don Shelburn, manager, Harold Atkinson, Warren Sandel, Bob Hays, Bill Dios, Jim Quigley, Don Moore, Jim Hayes, Fred Lewis, Vince Wilhelm. 0 Early rains prevented the squad from getting in the groven in time for its First game. Harold Atkinson led the team in batting averages for all the games played, and Art Gherkins lead the squad in the league games. VVashing1on high school won the Southern League Championship with Jefferson, Fremont, and Huntington Park following in respective order. 0 Spartan horse- hiders who made Varsity letters this spring are, Harold Atkinson, Gus Callus, Ralph Dishman, jimmy Federico, Art Gherkins, Bob Hayes. Jimmy Hayes, Fred Lewis, Don Moore, Emil Orsat, Jim Quigley, VVarren Sandel, Vince XVilhelm. Minor letters, Bill Diss, Ray Smith, and Harold Wiood. jim Federico was the captain of the varsity squad.

Bee Baseball O Emerging from a successful season, by winning the All-City championship, the Huntington Park 4'Bee base- ball squad completed their schedule in a thrilling climax, April 14, by defeating Banning, 9-3. O In their live league games, the horsehiders of Sparta bowed only once, to Roosevelt, who beat them by a lone tally. 0 In this game Hulson was pitcher, and scored 15 strikeouts. Before the Parksters defeated Banning, they were deadlocked in a three-way tie, with Fremont and Banning. O The locals outbatted Fremont by a 6-4 victory.

Coe Baseball 0 Graduating seven Cees of last year to the championship Been squad of this year, Coach R. E. Squire was faced with the necessity of building an entirely new squad this season. I Un- der his able direction, the squad was composed of Hale, Dallmeier, Lingren, and Rock in the infield. Austin, Logrecco, Pittman, Shelburne, and C. Smith, outfrelders. Breeze, J. Smith, and Allaster, catchers. The mound duties were held down by Patterson, Haycox, and Stanford. 0 This is only the second year that Huntington Park has had a Cee, Baseball team, and from the record they leave there seems little doubt that these boys will gain many a cup for the Nye old trophy case. 0 Cee scores were as follows: H. P. f'Cee 9, Dorsey Bee 4, H. P. Cee 0, Downey Bee llg H. P. Cee 4, Roosevelt Been 9. 0 The miniature Spartans proved to the school that they were as able warriors as their bigger brothers by overcoming teams larger in size and more ma- ture than they. Although they were small in size, they were scrappy in spirit and enthusiasm. Varsity Track O An ancient Spartan sport done in a modern Spartan mannerv is the motto of this yearis track season. Sprinting over the track faster than any citizen of Sparta ever dreamed of traveling, the track crew has repeatedly equaled school records and shows promises of breaking standing records before the season closes. I Individual members of the spikesters, brigade have given the brilliant performances necessary to winning a meet. Pan- konin has grown accustomed to breaking the tape in mile events. George Aird heaves the lead mar- ble 48 feet, 7 inches, and is expected to add the 5 inches necessary for the school record.

Dependable for extra points in the hurdles, Laughlin and Thompson have topped both high and low timbers for Sparta. 0 Stamina, un- tiring legs, and courage, mark the undaunted attempts of Spartan distant runners. Bollong and Neary, who do the 44O, and Don Baker of the H8807 0 Sprinter Kroekritz of the lO0-yard dash, also lends his support to the relay quartet, Gravning McCollum and Biglar. 0 Varsity scores were: South Gate 46, Huntington Park 585 Polytechnic 692, Huntington Park Silk, Jefferson 78, Huntington Park 78. Page One Hundred Fifteen Fage One Hundred Sixteen Bee Track 0 Their record might not have been quite as im- pressive as the Cees, but the Bee tracksters certainly did themselves proud in many events this year, I Bob Hanna, Park 70-yard high hurdle man, broke the school record against Fremont when he traveled the distance in the remarkably fast time of 9.5 seconds. Hanna also proved his worth to the team in the low hurdles event. His placing in this event helped many times to boost the middlevveight morale as well as their score. 0 In the sprint division, Bigler and Swinnerton ably took over and delivered all that was expected of them. They both return next year to bolster the Varsity sprint squad. Top row, left to right: Bob Dale, Leonard Drumm, Keith Seizmore, Ken-ny Wren.

O In the Held events, Collins and Ballum took care of the pellet heaving division, while Gene Hamlin and Tex Xifinters and Jack Santiago did the squad's high flying in the pole vault. I The high jump was a pretty wide open event with Bishop, when he wasn't jumping varsity, getting the call over the rest of the leapers. Ballum, also, gave his all for Sparta in this event. O Throughout the year, the locals failed to impress in any of their meets, yet some of their individual perform- ances warranted praise and congratulations. fee Track 0 Having the strongest 'Cee squad in years, Coach E. C. Neander's youngsters had the most successful season of the three track divisions. 0 Beating Poly and Fremont and losing to jefferson by a small margin, members of the squad gave a good account of themselves. I Sprinters, Koski, Moore, Entz, and Stone broke the school record of 46.1 seconds, against Fremont. This record was formerly held by a squad of which Foy Draper and Clark Crane were part. 0 Frank Bishop broke the school record of 5 feet, 6 inches in the high jump, a record held by jerry McGowen. Tex WVinters, Cee who vaulted Bee, broke Jack Heihle's record of 11 feet 6 inches in the pole vault. Demitriou, Laury, and Van Nest shared in point winning in the Cee,' 660. Maclllmoil finally overcame his habit of cracking up on the barriers and should be a valuable asset to the hurdle ranks in 1939. Eldrid, Econ and Murphy were all hitting 10 feet consistently when the season ended. O A majority of the Cee squad were Freshmen who have three more years ahead of them and ought to bring Huntington Park to the top of the new league.

Varsity Waterpolo O Winners of the city championship last year, the lightweight waterpolo squad, bowed before opposition this season. Led by Clinton Hill, Claude Menkee, Dean Hoffman, Art Coxins, Marshall Lomax, Harry Moss and Ralph Gambina, the lightweights made a good fight and finished the schedule in much better form than the varsity. 0 The varsity waterpolo team ran into a streak of bad luck, they failed to garner a victory during the season. 0 The varsity squad was composed of Ralph Heywood, Harold Nelson, Leonard Blake, Art Blair, Al Pruett, Liston Caldwell, and Ed Hadsell, Joe Mashing, jimmy Adams, and Bob Sutherland, substitutes.

Page One Hundred Nmeteen Page One Hundred Twenty Boys' Tennis O Showing a spirit worthy of the Spartans of old, the members of the Huntington Park tennis team this year fought against insur- mountable odds. Though they won only one match of the season, the Spartan net squad made up for their losses with true Spartan spirit. O Under the capable guidance of Coach E. Y. johnson, the team was built around the three returning lettermen, Ross Tyler, Carl Duncan, and Carl Bauer. They battled against some of the strongest teams in the city with a courag: that was astounding. 0 The three lettermen and Coach johnson taught the rudiments of tennis to the less experienced candidates for varsity positions. Preceding the League season, various practice matches were played to determine relative merits of the participants. O Hopes of Sparta rose after the defeat of Jefferson. VVashington's superior play, however, sent the Huntington Park netters home in crushing defeat. The final score was 7 to 0, I Manual Arts, with a team composed of lettermen, easily defeated Sparta, but not without playing their best. The score was 7 to O. Fremont, the traditional rival, defeated the Parkers by a substantial score. 0 The boys who have participated in league matches are: singles, Ross Tyler, Carl Duncan, Carl Bauer, Jack Hulsen, Doug Anderson. Doubles players were: jim Hulihan and jim Neitman, Bob Colenbaugh and Bill Mathews, Bill McClary and Eddie Etherly, johnny Everett and VVayne Zaelke.

Gymnastics O Inexperience proved to be the Spartan gymnasts' main fault as they met and were defeated in succession by Poly, Manual Arts, llfashington, and Fremont. O Although they finished well towards the bottom of the ladder it was con- sidered a fairly successful season because of the greenness and small amount of material with which Coach HPep', johnson was forced to work. 0 Chief hpoint snatchersv for the Spartan muscle men were: Fred Schardt, Harold Rothermel, Emil Orsat, Johnny Graaco, Jack XVetzel, and Bill Dolash. O Huntington Park closed the season by placing four men in the Southern League Finals, these being Jack llfetzel on the parallel bars, Emil Orsat and Bill Dolash in the rope climb, and Harold Rothermel in both side horse and tumbling. The Spartan gym men also performed on many school programs, giving exhibitions at the Latin Club banquet and at Open House. 0 So, Sparta closes its 1938 gymnastic season with hopes for the future and gratitude to Coach Pep,' Johnson. www 1..rH Page One Hundred Twenty-one Page One Hzmdred Twc-zzty-two Hockey Season Cpens With A Smile G.
