President's Message LICK-WILMERDING Qlinthusiasm, spirit, and action have characterized our past terms. The students have cooperated will- ingly in planning and carrying through a number of successful night dances. joint rallies have been great fun, and sport rallies, though few in number, have achieved their purpose of arousing both quality and quantity of spirit. The oflicers have attempted to organize and pro- mote an interesting program during the past semesters: and if our students have enjoyed the rallies, dances, and other social events, then our efforts have not been in vain. Particularly gratifying to those in charge has been the enthusiasm shown by those who participated in the noon hour and after school games in Merrill Hall, I wish to express my appreciation to Mr. Merrill, Mr. Booker and Mrs. Patterson for their help and ad- vice, to the faculty for their cooperation, and to the students for their willing service and generous sup- port. During my term of office I have watched our new auditorium grow into reality. Its completion will end all rallies in Merrill Hall, for henceforth Patrick Noble Auditorium will be the meeting place of all student body functions. In the foyer of this building will stand the Alumni tribute to our great leader, George A. Merrill, direc- tor of our schools since they have been founded. This tribute in the form of a bronze bust will commemor- ate his fifty years as an educator, Wfe officers of 1939 have had a very great honor, for we are the last group to be in othce while he was at the helm. It is a sad occasion to bid him farewell, but we know that every student who has passed through the Lick and XY ilmerding schools will al- ways remember Mr, Merrill not only as the man re- sponsible for his education, but as a wise and under- standing friend. Richard Dodge. President's Message LUX QCommencing a term brimming with social and scholastic events, we, the Lux student body officers. experienced the thrill of looking forward to a well- planned, fast-moving year. During the first semester we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the founding of our school. At this time the entire student body sincerely expressed their thanks to Mrs. Lux for her pioneering in the field of education. At the special rally held for this purpose we dedicated the new cooking laboratory, the attrac- tive lounge, and the beautiful murals. Each of these new additions has been appreciated and enjoyed to the utmost during the last year. We wish to compliment the student body on the growth of their enthusiasm and school spirit. Because of this spirit the many activities of the year have been unusually successful. Special praise is due the dance committee who sponsored four fine night dances. By complete cooperation in bringing new talent to life, our Class Day rally proved to be a big success. We have initiated three new activities that we hope will become customs. The 58X class started the tra- dition of having each graduating class plant a tree or shrub in the Little Grove. Each of these plants will be permanent additions left to remind those that follow of our spirit and loyalty to the school. The T39j Class initiated the farewell tea given by the undergraduates to the graduating class. -lust a few weeks ago the school started serving tea at 5:50 to all time girls who wish it. Many fine friends and a welcome lift are found through this afternoon tea. The Mother's Day tea was the main attraction of the last few weeks of the semester. We girls make this our biggest social event. for at this time we grate- fully acknowledge our debt to our mothers and teachers. XY'e sincerely thank Mr. Merrill. our sympathetic and fine board of trustees. and our teachers for their constant work that has helped us enjoy a memorably full and happy year.

This class, which meets only once a week, accom- plishes the difficult task of editing the three-school weekly paper and the annual. Although a really surprising amount of work is turned out by this class, its activities are by no means all of serious nature. Once a term the journalists stage a partyfa very Bohemian affair typical of newspaper people. Last semester it was a nutty dinner party held by the Squirrels in the teachers' lunch room at Lick. There against the proper background-check ered tablecloths, jaunty clotheslines, and surrealistic art--the journalists cooked their ravioli and mixed their green salad and ate in hilarious informality. After the dinner, they went to the auditorium where they were entertained by a boys' ballet, which was excellent as a digestive exer- cise for both the entertainers and the entertained, the latter laughing themselves almost into paroxysms. The nature of this year's party has not yet been decided, but it will probably be a gay affair. Under the direction of Mr. Vestnys, and with the help of Miss Palmer, the L.W.L. LIFE is annually published. The teachers choose the editor-in-chief, and the editor chooses his assistants from the members of the journalism class. Each semester the theme of the annual is new and different. This year it is the Golden Gate International Exposition, because 1959 will always mean the Fair to everyone of us. Following the policy inaugurated last year. the staff has endeavored to increase the number of pictures included and to decrease the literary material. From official polls and from infor- mal discussions the journalism class has learned that the journal the students want is a pictorial record of the school activities of the year. Therefore, every effort has been made to produce a book with the maximum number of illustrations and minimum amount of written material. Edirol' .

Mr. Mer- rill led the parade to the Lux Bowl for the fiesta celebra- tion on Feb, 16. At noon a summons brought all students to Merrill Hall where Mr. Booker announced the surprise- an after- noon for fiesta gaiety. Dressed in their western regalia and with a boy scjuiring each girl. the delighted students marched to Lux and around the Bowl. where teachers reviewed the parade and selected the best costumes. In spite of the general hilarity, Mrs. l-lolleuffer man- aged to run off some very good interclass relays, after which the judges announced that prizes for best cos- tumes were to be awarded to Barbara Clark and Paul jensen. To top off the afternoon. the cowboys. Spanish grandees. and other woolly westerners danced with their ladies until lengthening shadows drove them from the Bowl. 38J's '6Meet Again at Stern Grove Q Wfith characteristic enthusiasm and noise the 58j's held their reunion at Sigmund Stern Grove on Friday. November 18. Unfortunately Mr. Pivernetz. who is usually a leading spirit in Sbij affairs. was unable to attend, but Denton Delavan had borrowed a whistle and strove man- fully to take Mr. Pivernetz's place. Supper was an hour late and before its arrival all was tumult and shouting as each 5Hj tried to tell his story above everybody elses Food temporarily cjuieted the mob. however: and during its consumption one could get glimpses of individual if-lj's. l.evy was wearing new glasses: Hillman was scjuir- ing Perky, as usualg lilorence Egan was wearing a coiffurc a la mode. Evelynne Logemann was very slim and ele- gantg and Mary Bernasconi was making a great racket telling everyone else to keep still, Although flu kept many of the teachers away. several members of the faculty were seen laughing at the antics of their former pupils. Mr, and Mrs, Britton, Miss Miguel. Miss Meng. Miss Palmer. Miss XX'ickersham. and Mrs, Patterson were seen having supper together and evidently enjoying themselves immensely. Follow the Leader in Sheepskins Q The Lux Student Body has stopped counting sheep and is now counting the skins only. Because of Miss .len- kinson's brainstorm last semester, these sheepskins are made into jackets with luscious woolly fronts and suede backs. Miss jenkinson's jacket has an Egyptian clay suede back and knitted sleeves of the same color. Miss Trevi- thick's jacket is trimmed in Irish green. and so also is Marjorie Leigh's. jeanette Liming. who goes in for bright colors. contrasts the yellow front with a lipstick red back. Now. you Lux Lambs. how do you expect us to continue in our sheep counting when you parade by in those bril- liantly chic jackets? New House Mother Q lf you ask a Ginn House boy how he likes the new house mother. he grins and answers cjuickly. Swell Y Mrs. Cooper. the lady who is mothc-ring the boys this year. is not really a newcomer to these schools. She taught art at l.ux from lvll until lvls. when she took a leave of absence to do war work. After the war she lived in thc liast for several years and later moved to Sonoma. Mrs. Cooper and the boys seem to be enjoying each other immensely. Class Visits Mt. Hamilton Q On April 21, the photography class visited the Lick Observatory at Mt. Hamilton, Under the direction of Professor Jeffers the boys were shown all the instruments in the buildings and given a simple explanation of the varied uses of such delicate and intricate mechanisms. Afterwards the boys took advantage of the clear weather and took many pictures of the valley and surrounding country from this vantage point. Hobby Club 0vernight Hike Q Because of Marge Leigh's suggestion to come up and see her sometime , the Lux Hobby Club went on their happiest excursion of the year. Ten girls including Miss jenkinson took a seven mile overnight hike over the hills of Berkeley to a backwoods cabin in Orinda. The girls all slept outside-perhaps it's an exaggeration to say slept . Ray Iversen's oft repeated cry, The night is so-oo lo-ooong, will forever be remembered. Jeanette Liming is still to all hobby club members the Spirit of Insomnia, and Mary McKenzie's fear of rats in the leaves is still a big topic of conversation. Each girl had a wonderful time, although the hike was long for city sissies and was often punctuated by long rests and tiresome queries of How many more miles is it? While enjoying one of their numerous rests, they built, in the middle of the road, a stone monument to Lux. True, the monument was torn apart by the first passing car, but it was all grand fun nevertheless. Graduation Q Diplomas were awarded in Native Sons' auditorium on Friday night, December 16, 1938, for the last time away from home g for after this all commencements will take place in the new auditorium. 38X's listened to an address by Professor William A. Smith of the University of Cali- fornia at Los Angeles and to short talks by student speak- ers, Thelma Thompson and Bill Williams. After the grad- uates had marched proudly up on the stage and received their diplomas, Denton Delavan was called to the plat- form to receive the James Hugh Wise Character Medal. Members of the 391 class will have the honor of being the first class to be graduated in Noble Auditorium. At the present writing we are not sure who the guest speaker will be. The recipient of the scholarship award will not be known until graduation, but we do know that Frances Holm and Richard Wagner will be the student speakers. Merrill Hall Now Playing Field Q The construction of the new Auditorium having cut off the playing field of the Lick-Wilmertling students, the cry of Where can we play at noontime? went out in a loud and lusty bellow. President Dodge and a committee of students went to work immediately, and after a con- sultation with Mr. Merrill they were able to answer the question. Merrill Hall took the place of the temporarily dis- rupted playground, and in it badminton, ping-pong, and shuffleboard, were organized, in the small space left in the yard the game of horseshoes was laid out. A radio was also purchased and set up in Merrill Hall. The Student Body financed the project and in no time at all activities were well under way. However. the problem of letting all the students have a chance at the games pre- sented itself, and the only solution was to have tourna- ments. Gordon Yates was made tournament director. Not to be outdone by Lick, the Lux Student Body arranged for ping-pong. tennis, and badminton tourna- ments of their own. Crew Wins Trophies I In the fall Of 1938 the High School and crews trained for and entered the Columbus Day and Navy Day races. The crew won its event and a cup in each race while the High School varsity tied for first on Columbus Day and placed second on Navy Day. In the spring of 1939 a 150 lb. crew was organized in addition to the High School varsity and crews. In the Washington Day races the ,l.C. crew defeated San Mateo j.C. and Oakland Poly and brought home a third trophy cup. The High School varsity placed second, but the 130 lb. did not enter the competition. On April 6 the crew raced Lowell and lost by a small margin. Because of the success of the and High School varsity crews, Mr. Merrill appropriated funds to build a racing cutter, which is now nearing completion. Looking backward it may be said that the past year has been the most successful crew year in the history of the school. The winning of three beautiful cups by the Junior College crew is a record deserving of high praise and a credit to the Lick and Wilmerding schools. Team Makes Creditallle Showing Q This year the baseball team was handicapped by the loss of almost all of last year's veterans. But even so, all of the boys showed the true Lick spirit and came through with several fine victories. That the few games which were lost were lost by close scores shows that the Tiger team put up a tough battle. Captain Chris Trailer now holds the all-time records for stolen bases, singles, doubles, triples, and home runs. He also has batted over .500 for two successive years. 1 S GAMES PLAYED 1 Lick Opponent Score Opponent Score 5 Commerce . -1 1 Lowell . 2 1 jefferson . 5 S South San Francisco .

This up-to-the minute reinforced concrete structure is a tribute to Patrick Noble, .1 pioneer in the metal industries of California. Nestled between the two timeworn buildings of Lick and Wilmerding, our new modern auditorium symbolizes the ability of our schools to progress with the changing times. The erection of the auditorium has been a lesson in modern construction to the students of our schools. Steel arrived cut, drilled, and riveted, with the exception of the few rivets necessary to tie the pieces together. Ply- wood panels made it easier to put up the forms for the concrete and gave a smooth surface to the cement with- out any additional surfacing. After the forms were re- moved, steel-framed windows, roofing, and copper drain gutters appeared on the structure in rapid succession. The interior is an exhibit of the modern methods of building construction. The maple floor is supported by plastic sleepersfa special magnesite composition capable of having nails driven into it so that it will have the spring necessary for a good dance floor. Walls and ceiling are surfaced with non-inflammable acoustic boards fastened to a wood falsework which is tied into the con- crete walls. A tunnel across the yard from the Lick building to the auditorium puzzled the students for a few days, but they soon discovered that it was the conduit for the air that is to be conditioned in the Lick building and blown into the auditorium. This air conditioning is a new type that has been developed in our own schools. Nine hundred folding type seats may be set up on the floor for assemblies, rallies, graduation exercises, and the like. During dances, the main floor will be cleared and seats may be placed on the three broad steps on the two sides of the floor. Electrically, the auditorium is ahead of the times. The fluorescent tube lights, with which the interior is lighted, are still in the late experimental stages. The fixtures were designed and built in the shops. Learning new techniques as they worked, the students installed the fixtures during school hours, under the supervision of the shop teachers. Stage equipment will remain incomplete until next tall, but the rest of the work will be sufficiently complete so that -the building can be used for the graduation exercises. At this writing there is an atmosphere of furious ac- tivity about the school, for everything must be ready for graduation. Lights go on and off in the Wilmerding building as the boys test the rest room lighting circuits, hammers pound as the walls are surfaced, and a chug- ging cement mixer prepares plaster. An emergency heating plant is taking shape in the electric shop so that the aud- ience will be warm in spite of the absence of the complete air conditioning plant. The 59j classes will hold the first graduation exercises in Noble Auditorium. Frances Holm and Richard Wfagner will be the first student speakers to try the acoustics of the new structure before a formal audience. On September 22nd, 1959, as part of the dedication ceremonies, alumni members will formally present a bronze bust of Mr. Merrill, which will be permanently enshrined in Noble Auditorium. Lick and Lux 6Step It Q Dances and Senior Proms are the principal social func- tions of our schools. It is on the dance floor that students meet for a good time, that alumni renew old friendships, and faculty members meet the students socially, not as pupils. Last fall we became Fair conscious and opened the sea- son with the Shine For '39 dance. Spotlighted, a large picture of the Tower of the Sun topped the entrance to Merrill Hall while the dimly lighted interior sparkled with gay silver and gold streamers. Hawaiian Night is remem- bered for its monkeys and palm trees. The blue moon amused the large crowd as they danced to jack Kelly's music. The Prom was held in the Residence Club with jack Kelly providing the rhythm and many seniors attend- ing a dance for the first time. This spring a new custom was started: no outside couples were allowed. Along with this innovation Inter- national Night featured scenes depicting far off lands. Frankie Day's band supplied the music. Spring was offic- ially celebrated at the Spring Sport Dance with Deny Davis providing the music in Merrill Hall which was decorated with flowers, both hand made and real. Frankie Day will provide the music for the 39-I Senior Prom which is to be held in the California Club on Saturday night, May 27. We hope that all will attend to enjoy this fitting climax to a year of successful dances. Lux Forum Club Presents Q Witli all the proper Chinese atmosphere-cymbals, screens, gongs, and incense-the Lux Forum Club donned Chinese costumes in the fall term, and presented the play, The Stolen Prince . The cast was as follows: chorus, Natalie Laskyg stolen prince, Theodora Ruegg, property man, Ruth Campbell, children, Bee Ebersole, Blanche Wilson, fisherman, june Lang, wife, Aldine Seeger, nurse, Lilyanne Thompson, executioner, Patsy Newfieldg soldier, Betty Traplettig orchestra, Leona Kolbeck, Bella McCarthy. In the spring term the Lux actresses turned frivolous and presented the puzzling and hilarious play, All Doubled Up . The double sets of characters in the play were jean Allan, director of play, Beatrice Ebersole and june Lang, the maid, Evaclaire Overhauser and june Elk- ington, Mrs. Swelteg Margaret Dufraine and Georgina Dill, Mrs. Brulebackg Elizabeth Davis and Vivian Du- fraine, Mrs. Backbiter. Both plays showed intensive work on the part of Miss Hughes, the sponsor, and the members of the club. L. A. A. Activities Q The girls of Lux have a large choice of outdoor sports which include volley ball, basket ball, baseball, tennis, ping-pong, badminton, and archery. The 59l's won the spring term's volley ball tourna- ment, and June Baumgartner, 411, was the winner of the advanced tennis singles. During the fall term the l..A.A. completed tennis and basketball tournaments of both beginners and advanced players. A Christmas party, with a Santa Claus and pres- ents, a hike to Mount Tamalpais, and a picnic at Fleish- hacker's were the club's activities for the year. Awards were given at the annual banquet, to which were invited two representatives from each high school in the city. A, ir.. iNUOOll jg SYOY3 Bill Pappas Treats Q Tramp, tramp, tramp down l7th and 16th Streets and then on to Potrero Avenue to Pappas Brothers went the entire student body of the Lick-Wilmerding-Lux schools on Friday, March 2-i, to receive free ice cream. Ice cream day is a tradition at Lick and Lux. It is alleged that some Lux girls staged a sit-down strike and demanded more ice cream. The Lick boys did not try to get seconds , were very orderly, and went back to their classes promptly, while the girls wanted more and were slow to return. Tch, tch. fwritten by a Lick boy.j A Dish of Tea Q Tea giving, as is to be expected in a group of women, is a habit at Lux. This year the inclination has asserted itself even more strongly than usual. In the fall term the tea extraordinary was the Lux At Home, which cele- brated the twenty-fifth birthday of the school. Tea was served from the second floor where junior College girls poured at the beautifully appointed table. At this tea Lux was proud to show guests the murals in the lobby and on the second floor, the new cooking room, and the luxurious lounge. The other teas were the usual ones, that in honor of newcomers, and the senior tea. A Junior College tea was an innovation this term. There was a May Day tea in honor of the seniors and on May 10 the Lux students entertained their mothers at a tea and fashion show. At this party the girls of the sewing classes exhibited their year's work and modeled their own dresses, hats, suits, and coats. So fond of tea are the girls at Lux, that daily tea has been instituted, and every day at 3:30 you can see the tea drinkers gathering for their afternoon lift . 40.1 Frolic Q The -i0j's believe that You Can't Take It With You, so they had their fun while they could. At their party in Merrill Hall on April 28 they amused themselves by doing what they pleased. Some played ping-pong or badminton while others danced or popped balloons. However, they all agreed that the most enjoyable part of the evening was the eats . Bud Didier acted as Master of Ceremonies, introduc- ing such talented students as Vivian Dufraine, jackie Gibson, and Wally Ehlers, the great Houdini of the class. One of the outstanding events of the evening was the Virginia Reel, which Miss Halstrom led and Mr. Britton accompanied. Chess Club Is 0rganized Q The ancient game of chess has become a popular pas- time at Lick during the last year. The Chess Club has been organized and experience is gradually making ex- perts out of the beginners. Battles in miniature are held everyday at noon and after school in the Chess Club's room, just in back of Mr. Booker's lecture room. Inter-scholastic tournaments have been held with Poly- technic and Lowell High Schools. The Mechanics secured revenge for four successive losses to Lick and trounced the Tigers 6-l in the first game. But Lowell proved to be 1 bit easier, and Lick was the victor by a score of 6-l. Betty Girling is known by everyone for her tooth paste ad smile. This famous smile has caused her to be one of the most popular girls at Lux. For the benefit of those who know Betty only by her smile, she's the one who is responsible for those successful dances we've had fhis term. She's also responsible for keeping Ralph Campbell an unofficial member of the student body even though he has graduated and holds a responsible position. It is a well known fact to both stu- dents and teachers that Betty doesn't do her homework on Wednesday nights, that's the night that Ralph goes to see Betty. Ralph's sister, Ruth, has been heard talking of her brother's wedding, which will take place soon after Betty graduates in December, she has also been heard referring to Betty as her future sister-in-law. Press Photographer-that describes him. He has that indefinable something that shouts press . On Treasure Island the crowds draw back when he sets up his camera. fGee, a newspaper photographerlj Shuss! we know his camera leaks and takes double exposures. A suit- case loaded with film, cameras, prints, bottles, a tripod, paper, and school books accompanies him from class to class. He hopes to become a pharmacist. Do you remember his course in Bacteriology at Lux? In radio circles he is known as W6NNB-nuts, nuts, and baloney. He has a habit of saying or doing something he shouldn't and then slap- ping himself. As Photographic Editor of the Life he went wacky producing hundreds of enlargements before the deadline got him in the neck. Uh huh, it's the president and sparkplug of the Chess Club, Gordon Greene. He attends dances-always alone except for his camera. Very rarely is he seen on the fioor dancing. When a test comes around, he is usu- ally absent. Yet he manages to get good grades in spite of his ab- sences and his camera clicking. Chess is one of his hobbies. He is noted for his violent dislike for kibitzers and the tremendous length of time that he takes between moves. He's dreamy, precocious, shy, and at times a bit morbid. He even talks to himself.Surely you've recognized our historian,Warner Mattern. If you ever hear a tinkling sound accompanied by girlish giggling, it's only Dorothy Peters coming down the hall with those heart-shaped bells draped around her neck. She can be found any day in fifth period Latin conversing with the boys about nothing in particular- her favorite subject. Up, up, and still up, towers little joe Davis, the boy whose curls are 6 feet 6 inches from the ground. Tiny has the original slinking debutante walk as he never gets enough sleep to completely wake him up. In reality he may not be exactly sleepyg it's just that his superb height makes him miss so much that goes on below him. Besides, he's in the clouds over other things. Wfhenever someone tells a tall, unfunny tale, Tiny can always be heard laughing loud and longgespecially if it's particularly unfunny. One of his main joys is to lie in bed reading. Because of this habit he knows literature well. Another habit of his is to gaze deeply at pictures he keeps around. He also enjoys teaching class when the teachers aren't around, for then he can tell for the 60 dozenth time about when he was in the army. He's swell about being teased, and that is one of the reasons we don't have a guilty conscience for writing this about him. XVe really think he's one of the nicest and friendliest boys at Lick. She's the quee-ee-n of the ro-os-ses, or she was before she came to us. Her fame has followed her and everybody teases her about her royal position in last year's Tournament of Roses at Pasadena. Most of us are convinced, moreover, that in her reign Jeanette was not just a beautiful figurehead. She's a born executive, and dollars to doughnuts her court was told just what to say and what to do-by its queen. Y' . . P, ni A J. LTMING G.GPxEE l lb.
