Fellow citizens and prospectors, it is a pleasure anda privilege to greet you in these pages which the enterprising firm of Come stock, Peck, and4Company have produced. Lay aside your picks and shovels. Cease from your arduous labor along the dry, sere gulches. Let' the cradles stand idle. Merchants, close your doors. Store clerks, hang up your aprons. Stabler, feed and rest your horses. Rest your labors for today is a holiday' - a great holiday for Cometville. The Cornet is out so relax and enjoy it from cover to cover, Like most mining towns, Cometville sprawls along a long, narrow Winding gulch. But what a gulch! .And what a company of ad- venturers inhabit it! Q Where else but in the tempestuous, fast moving life of a mining town would nejfv- comers loecorne oldtirners in the relatively short span 'of three years? - Once again may I say, Greetings, best Wishes, and good luck to all the residents of Cometvillef' .

Mrs. Lowery is-not pictured. That there is Mr. Cas- - lle with his secretary, Mrs. McLees. Greetings, my friends and fellow Fortyniners: As sheriff, I am glad I can say 'We have had a year of law and order in this here mine ing town. A ' Lookin' back over the year, some of our diggin's have paid very well. It seems like We have had more than our share ot grade ore. Then there's been many 'veins that turned out B grade. Of course the real volume of gold dust has come from the big leads of grade C ore. And, when you Weigh it up, gold is gold and it is Worth just as much per ounce regardless of Where it comes from. Our sympathy goes out to those prospec- tors who hit that hard blue rock that seems so difficult to break up and which pays such slim pickin's. It causes broken hearts and makes a heap o' trouble. But you know, some of our richest strikes have been in get- tin' through that blue slip strata into pay dirt. I am glad you didn't let it get you down, And now We Will have to git on with the rest ot this celebration. ZAFON A. HARTMAN ' c THE SHERIFF SPEAKS A .g - Q ia - 1 --if A ' ill SX 1' -,'.

TAKE OFF YER HAT, BGY These here Old Timers have just about seen their last days in this ol' minin' town, but the stories of the good times we've had dur- ing our years here will be 'passed down through generations to our great-great grand- children. When we were just youngins, we started makin' a place for ourselves in the town. Bill Nesbit as leader had' Stan l-larth, Sue De-pew and Ollie Adams helpin' him out. The annual Sophomore Amateur Hour brought praise from all the townfolk, and the youngins showed the whole town up with their carnival queen contest by having one oi their prize beauties, Regina McGrane, chosen to be queen. When we outgrew our short pants and pigtails and became teen-agers, we chose as our leaders, Sue Depew, lack Verturth, Clarice Wood, and Stan I-larth. The thespians of the gang brought practi- cally the entire town out to our junior play. As teen-agers we were mighty proud of some oi the gang. Stan Harth won the zone Lions' speaking contest, Al Anderson won the San Ioaquin Valley doubles in tennis and El- don Smith and Delmar Wentworth took lots of places in track. Our class was also well rep- resented on the football and basketball co- champion squads. We showed the old timers how to give a bang-up farewell socialg our junior-senior ban-- Left corner: Jean, Betsy 'n' Nadean laugh jest 'cause they git to sit on- the senior bench.

After an active year as luniors the 49ers began to realize we Were spending our last days at dear old Lindsay High. Even though .we were the old timers, it didn't hold us down. We still found time to show the 'town- folk We were full of pep by selling lots of stu- dent body -cards, having the most members on C. S. F, and the honor roll, and p1'es:nting a swell senior play. The fellows hadn't lost any of their athletic ability in old agej Wes Leach, captain of the football teccm, was chosen all-county and lack Verfurth was most valuable man. The girls also retained their charm and beautyg La Rea Wells was chosen football queen, and Beverly Phillips was Olive Bowl queen. Class officers for the 49ers were Alfred Anderson, presidentg lack Verfurth, vice-presi- dentg Mary-Ann Canada, secretary, and Stan Harth, treasurer. As the last days of the old timers fled by, they took a last look backward to their happy days in the old Minin' Town. They recalled the days spent protecting their senior bench, an unforgettable senior ditch day, those nice front assembly seats, and outstanding senior play, and all the other privileges or an upper classmcm. This is the time to don cap and gown and walk ,up the aisle bidding a fond farewell to dear old Lindsay High.

Etta Dean CSue Depewl was sure havin' a rough time 'cause she was kind of a shy violet and awkward as a spring colt, so ot course she didn't have no boy friends. Two mighty nice fellas, Harlan Smith and Alfred Anderson, decided to get themselves rip snortin' jobs in the advertisin' business by merchandisin' poor little Etta to prove how' Well they couldxhandle a tough assignment. lane Scott and Stan l-larth played ma 'n' pa. Clarice Wood was a right pretty older sister and La Verne Alexander made a handsome Tex Arlan. Clarence Depew as Hal, Phyllis O'Blenis as Winnie, Gloria Coolidge as Boops, Deryl Word as Stu Morgan, Beverly Phillips as Kit Olmstead, Tack Verfurth as Mr. Dean, Orval Fox as Bob, Donald Poe as Wayne, Io Anne Harrison as Polly, Marilyn Blue as Helena, Regina McGrane as Marvelle, Betsy Campbell as Daphne Gilltord, Tommy An- derson as Mr. Dugan, lean Selby as Susie, and Anna Lee Wilmoth as Bella, all turned in rootin' tootin' performances. Laureen Frasher, Kay Phillips, Eleanor Perkins, Dorothy Houk, Patsy Roy, and Audra Chatham sure 'nough chased that there Tex all over the stage till the audience was mighty near out o' breath from laughin' so much.

Their play, Date Bait, was all about a family called the Walkers which had three daughters. The two older gals were right popular with the tellers, but the youngest, Emily, clidn't have no boy friend an' she was certain she was gonna be an old maid, if'n she didn't do somethin' quick. So she set about gettin' herself a date, an' when she finally did, things got pretty ram- bunctious for a spell, but it all turned out all right. Everyone who took part in the play did a mighty swell job o' actin.' They included LaVernia Craig as Emily Walker, Laureen Frasher an.. Bill Pieschke as Emily's Ina 'n' pa, Audra Chatham as Mary Walker, Elea- nor Perkins as Pat Walker, Harlan Smith as Mr. Allen, Don Poe as Harvey Allen, Kay Phillipsas Susie Allen, Clarence Depew as Lester Gray, Pat Roy as Peggy Benson, Dorothy Houk as Ann Gibson, LaVerne Alexander 'as Officer Benson, Deryl Word as Iohnny Burns, Dick Maas as Harold.

MAYGHS MUSINGS As Mayor of this here minin' town, I here- by proclaim that we've had a mighty fine year and the whole dad burned student- body has cooperated like a crew a mininf fer gold. The council was kept mighty busy runnin' the affairs of Cometville as well as doing lots of service work for the needy. Every mem- ber of the cabinet was right helpful and each did his job jest perfect. Al Anderson who was Vice-president as Well as senior class president was always ready to take over a rneetin' when askedg Marilyn Blue writ all the minutes and took care of all the correspondence Without battin' an eye: treasurer Mariko Sekiguchi was so efficient she had them checks signed afore ye could say looo. Bill Peischke, secretary of assemblies, arranged the finest shows that's ever been staged in the old opry house, and those assemblies from the neighborin' towns was jest dandy, Connie Nystrom planned some' rip-snortin' socials and dances, and our yell leader, Clarice Wood, really kept the town a cheerin' for the home team. Other officers' who Worked hard for the town Were Dick Maas, and I-lutzell Mooney- ham, junior and sophomore class presidents, Bill Nesbit, boys' representative, who took charge of the L book, Glendon Comstock and Elna Peck, Comet editors, Stan Harth, editor of the Echoing Lg La Vern Alexander, athletic manager, and Ollie Adams, Block L president. Also, thanks to Mr. Hartman who has been both cooperative and a hard Worker. - Now l'll say so long for the entire student council, thanks for a wonderful year, and the best of luck to L.H.S. in the coming years.

The publishers are made up ot authors, artists, and promoters. ln the prospectin' business ya have to lay aside fer the next year, and the bookmakin' business ain't no different a' tall. When Weuns send our book to the National Scholastic Press Association ter ratin', weuns want it ta really ring a bell, and that's why we must be power- ful savin' 'cause we know it's beiittin' to a town ot our size. We think ourecover is right smart. lt's our idea o' the best dern way to say pioneerin' and that's what we aim to say.

Yes, indeedy, itis carryin' that old theme out that counts. Young whippersnappers on the literary stait were Marilyn Vaughn, who told o' the Sophomore Amateur Hour, Whitwasl1in', 'n' our band 'n' chorus, 'n' Wanell Richey, who whipped up some chit-chat' on the whipper- snappers, l:'.F.A., I.R.C., 'n' tennis. There s upstarts on this stait too, who just had to put a word in. Them' gals is Laureen Frasher, who bragged on the junior class and let us know the doin's o' the weekly paper and GAA., 'n' Boys' Service Organizations, 'n' Lorna Campbell who lauded the junior play and 'gave us the diggin's on assemblies, Girls' League, and Y-Teens.

Marilco Sekiguchi, art editor, handled the toreward, a division page, and some sketchin' too. Ya can 'thank Betty lo Depee fer them clever end, sheets.- Special sketches were handled by Donna Mur- rison and Margaret Thomas.

Under the snapping whip oi Mariko Sekiguchi, the C. S. F. has given a helping hand to many of the people oi the town. These here scholars gladly gave their hard earned money to the Red Cross for gitt boxes and to the- band tor new outfits. This outfit isn't made out o' ten- derteet either, and to prove it they got out and earned their money for the year by selling food and drinks at the. matches L. H. S. played with other towns. In March the C. S.F. entered the Spring Sing and won 35.00 with their original lyrics to a song called the Stockton Blues. But everyone knows all work and no play makes lack a dull boy so this little club decided to have a party at one of the amusement places downtown. Later in ' the spring the club went to Hot Springs to the old swimmin' hole and had a riproarin' time splashin' around in the water, 'n' eatin' tater salad 'n' beans.

The little old weekly, put out by the snappy journalism class, came off the press with all the goin's on of the whole town. The editor, Midnight Edition I-larth, kept whip hand over his staff writers and an inky finger on the stencils While a runnin' here and yon from the typing room up to room I5 and still he came through every week. Even though Stan'd be a puftin', the staff'd have writer's crarnp, the typ- ist was smeared with ink, Miss Hos- tetter's finger was sore from a pin- nin' the dummy sheet, the paper came out.

SERVICE DEPARTMENT . The strong silent -halt of the citizens who're ambitious and interested in this town are banded together 'n' called Card Plebes, Cards Iunior Grade, 'n' the big shots Cards Senior Grade. The Card Plebes were tar ahead with their president Conrad Fraps, when the other groups were yet unorganized. To git to be one of the high class bunch ya' gotta dig up 4U points. Any service to the school is rewarded by points such as a bossin' a committee or a club, fer bein' smart CC. S.F.D, gettin' special re-, wards, makin' the town purtier 'n' keepin' it that a way, clean- in' up after shindigs, or just a sittin' on a bench in sports, 'n' blowin' 'n' tootin' good in the band. ' Ya kin recorgnize' 'em by thor gold sweaters 'n' thar golden service rendered. PIONEER WOMEN, TOGETHER Any gal what comes into this here town automatically becomes a member of a fine organization known as Girls' League, what's made up of all the gals 'round these parts. This year their boss gal was Mac Can- ada, helped by Vice-president Bev Phillips, Secretary Regina McGrane, an' Treasurer Dot Houk, as well's all the gals on the town council, the Spur an' Stirrup bosses, cm' the G. A. A. representative. Right: Th' cabinet havin' a get-together on th' lawn. Ev'ry month the club has a meetin'. Some- times they put on a dandy show, like the Spring Sing, which the rnentolks come to, an' everybody has a fine time. These li'l gals do a heap o' good tor folks. too. F'r'instance, they bought a typewriter tor a gal up at the Springville sanatorium. Next year, the big Girls' League shindig'll be here, an' you can bet your last gold piece our gals'll make it the biggest an' best ever.

Seems like they was always a-doin' some- thin' 'round about the town this past year, Last 'fall they put on a backward banquet for all the football-playin' tellers, an' in De- cember they sponsored a mighty swell winter formal. Lois 'Weymouth was president o' this lively bunch o' young gals, an' with her was a mighty iine cabinet which included Ianie Pollock, vice-president, Eleanor Perkins, secretary, Mer- lene Adams, treasurer, Marilyn Blue, social chairman, Iill Rush, program chairman, Elna Peck, membership chairman, Charlcie Wilkerson, carnival chairman, Lorna Campbell, publicity chair- man, Nadean Davis, service chairman, Clarice Wood, music, LaRea Wells, Girls' League rep- resentative, Emma Lee Mohnike a n d Marguerite McGrane, sophomore representatives' ' Mrs. Pearl Pollock and Miss Mary Hitchcock were the gals' advisers. P The old opry house ,really saw some mighty entertainin' assemblies during the past year. There ain't nobody who could-a did a better job o' handlin' these here shows than our rootin', tootin', shootin', secretary o' assemblies, Bill Pieschke. Yep, he was really swell, an' through his efforts the town had more an' better assemblies than ever before. For one thing, there were the fine assemblies the E. F. A. gave. The Girls' League sure knew how to put on a good show, too. Every- one recollects their Christmas nas- sembly, when Connie Nystrom, all dressed up in a red suit, came down the chimney, just like Santa Claus. to give presents to all the ol' timers an' young 'uns. Then there were the National Assemblies, which in- cluded many famous entertainers of all kinds. Something bran' new this year were the exchange assemblies, The settlements of Exeter, Wood- lake, an' Strathmore gave us right fine shows here, an' the most talent- ed of our miners trekked to those towns to do the same for them.

STRAPPIN' LADS All the strong men of our minin' town were banded together in the Block L, whose mem- bers were holders of an A class or senior year B class block L. The Block L dance was real good and the fellas had lots of fun at their initiation. The boys looked real sweet in their short skirts and T-shirts on initiation day and some ol the town's young gods were quite jealous. The Block L, the coaches, and the principal made up the Awards Board for to pass on letters. This awards board kept a look-out that the boys kept trainin'. No smokin', no drinkin', no late hours.

FROLICKIN' FEMALES Natur'lly, in a hustlin, minin' community like this here 'ur1, it's mighty important that the Women keep strong and healthy. In order t' do this, We have the peppy school ma'am, Miss Mary Hitchcock, Watches over all the gals t' see that they get their daily exercise. The gals hadpractice in all kinds o' sports this year, an' they had a heap o' fun, too. They started out in the tall with volleyball. Then later on they took up basketball, badminton, field hockey,.tolk.dancin', swim- rnin', an' softball. Right along with all them sports, they had relays an' all kinds ot exercises t' develop their muscles. - O' course, some of 'em was more ambitious- than the rest, an' they Went out for G.A.A., Where they not only took part in all kinds o' sports, -but they also Won all kinds o' numerals an' letters tor themselves. folks Who Say, what have We hyar. Girls! girls! whut girls! Ah reckon as ta how this is the girls' gym! class 'n' this be one of their best 'n' most fun here 'oouts. We see Gloria girls! But, oh It looks like a. relay up 'n th' first picture. Coolidge gettin' a. mighty fast start an' other 'uns jest waitin' fer their chance .all excited and screamin' like most girls do. Then we'uns sec 'em doin' their daily exercises. An say. everybody's almost in harmony from the looks 0' things. These hyar exercises, I imagine, help 'em keep their hour glass figgers. In th' nex' picture it looks like they are a. dancin'. I reckon they are learnin' some of those good ole folk or square dances. Let's see if we can pick out who a few girls are. There in th' foreground are Shirley Glenn 'n' Carla Flyg right 65 in step. Then Pat Herring 'n' Marilyn Thorp whoops-! They are out of step. In there, too. are Marilyn McClure, an' Audra Sellers-garsh, but they look mixt up. Oh, hyars more exercising girls. An there's that cute teacher, Miss Hitchcock leadin' fem.

We can see hyar Mamie Collins, Jean Selby, Connie Nystrom an' Gloria. Coolidge. Well, I reckon everybody's tired after doin' all these things, an' I betcha they are still sore all over so we'll be groanin' oft until next time. BoRoUcH BRUTES. Now when the autumn months bego:n to creep in on our little ol' mining town, the boys got to the place where they liked to whoop it up a bit, so they got some of the other towns in these here parts and had some games of gnashing of teeth and grinding of bones. The first town to cross our path was a place by the name of Wasco, and that being a town where they grow 'ern big, our boys got beat 33 to l3'. Then a rough and tumble gang that was supposed to be tougher than a mu1e's kick by the name of Shatter came a stomping to town, and our boys, not liking that kind of stuff, beat these invaders in the last ten seconds by a score of l2 to 7. Orosi's men of might were next on our gang's list, and after a lot .ot holler- Coach Frank Skadan talks it ove1 ' with Wes ing and Such, the gang ended in Q 6-6 tie. CO1-C91-gn was having the .stuffing beaten out of 'em, when all of a sudden they came a whooping and a hollering back to win l9 to 18. Our team went down to Dinuba next, and before the ice could settle onthe water bucket, Dinuba came from behind to win l3 to 7 after we'd been beating the pants off them. Woodlake's fierce and ornery Tigers trompecl us into the mud by a score of 33 to O, and after a close first half thevmean and rnischievious Exeter gang beat us l3 to 7. The boss-man of our gang was Coach Frank Skadan and the team's captain, Wes Leach, was on the All-League first string. We were plum proud of our gang even though they didn't win 'em all, and if you ever saw a fighting bunch, it was them. lack Verfurth was voted the most valuable man by the squad and was one of the hardest workers on the team. The big boys on this year's rough and tumble gang were Wes Leach and- lack Verfurth at guardsg Gordon Mayberry, W'eldon Hartman, and Don Warfield at the tackle spots, Toe Gordon, Bob Turnage, and Richard Young at ends, Phil Longacre at center, Del Wentworth, Bill Burgin, Orval Fox, Ed Gamble, lohnny Encinas, Ted Bence, and Ollie Adams in the backfield. Longacre' was the only center with much exper- ience, and for the guard spots it was hard to find replacements. Wl'l0 WHS Calf!! DH the All-L93.gLlE tBB.I1'1.

The Cardettes re- ceived a spanking from the W'asco lites to the tune ol 14 to U. Then in their first league game the Cardettes beat Shatter l4 to 2. Corcoran Won 7 to U5 Orosi fell by a 7-6 county Dinuba Went on a rampage and Won 19 to Og. Strathmore fell into a gibbering heap under- neath a 28 to 12 count: Woodlake fell 9 to 2 and Exeter triumphed by a single point with a final 7 to 6 score.

Coach Bill Butterbaugh used a single Wing with a split tailbagk for the bigger part of the season. The little Cardettes this year were exactly that as far as age and experience go, but come further seasons and the Little Red Birds Will probably be Way up in the Winner column. The brunt of the Cardettes' attack Was carried by lack Aldridge, Iim McClure, and Sellers. Williams started out great, but became ineligible and Was unable to continue the season. Fox, Quessenberry, and loe Shimasaki were always in on the line plays, with the latter being outstanding on both offense and defense. Bill Pieschke Worked in both the backfield and the line. Richard Irye Was slated for big things although he was very small, but an early injury to his arm made it impossible for him to continue the season. Top row: L. Ballew, E. Gruenemay, J. Britton, L.

The Cards started the league season by herdin' the Alpaugh Buffaloes right back to the Corral with a 35 to ll final count. Then the Big Red Birds journeyed to Corcoran and after a fierce 'n' tightin' tray they lost 39 to 30. Sweat dripped, the crowd cried 'n' the team trembled, but Lindsay beat Strathmore 40 to 30 in the two teams' first gamef Woodlake's mighty men came thunderin' to town 'n' won 39 to 38. The Cards fought all the way against Dinuba, 'n' in the final minutes started a scorin' drive, but the invaders won 36 to 34, Orosi was hot- ter'n a California sunshine 'n' won 62 to 35.

H First the little tellers from Alpaugh stumbled to a 36 to 9 defeat, then the Corcoran Lites dropped a 47 to l8 garne score to the Cardettes. The Cardettes began to catch tire 'n' rolled over Woodlake to the tune ot 30 to 19. The Cardette Express got derailed at Dinuba Iunction 'n' the Cardettes left Withva 36 to 30 defeat. Not to be heartbroken, they tromped Orosi 56 to 32, sneaked by Exeter with a 39 to 36 count and Walked over Corcoran 55 to 28. Alpaugh tell 47 to l9 'n' Strathrnore played above their heads to lose by only a 28 to 23 Cardette off night squad. Then came the championship play-otis with Dinuba. The Dinubians Were just a little too big around the Waistlines to let the Cardettes get ahold of the ball too much, 'n' the game ended 36 to 32 tor Dinuba.

Coach Squires leapin' laddies are so durn good that this last year old Lindsay High has been right near filled tu the bulgin' point with medals and the like. lt all started in the 20-30 relays at Tulare when a lot of Lindsay guys pulled down tirst, second, third, fourth, and fifth places. In tact, little ol' Gary Fox came home a cartin' the highest B class point maker's trophy. Then at the small coun- ty meet Del Wentworth came through with a lot ot timer toppin' and got the highest point A trophy there. Lindsay was rippin' 'n' roarin' its Way through the big county meet, and Del would have got top scorin' honors there, too, it he hadn't taken a tall in one ot his special- ties, the hurdles. Stand-outs on the teams were Del Wen't- Worth, Ollie Adams, Bill Burgin, and Ed Gamble on the A'sg Gary Fox, Eldon Smith, Ierry Snyder and Dick Longpre on the B'sg and Larry Caudle and lack Horttor on the C's.
