Even after many years, she is held in high esteem by her students, which fact is proved by the many letters she received during the war from Livermore graduates in the service. Her classes are not a cinch, but she has a way of making you Want to learn, and she is always willing to help any student. She is the advisor of the Iunior Red Cross and of the Torch, and she has been the advisor of many classes. For many years she prepared the student speakers for graduation, and always has given generously of her time to coach students who are preparing for college. To know her is a privilege, and to follow in her footsteps would be a credit to any- one. For these reasons and many others, we dedicate this book to our friend and teacher, Miss May Nissen. 'i jznmvmcl EL VAQUERO presents to the taculty and student body a review ot the past year at L.U.H.S., in the sincere hope that our readers will take pleasure in reminiscing, and in reliving the exciting events ot their high school days. ln order to record the rapid changes taking place on the campus, EL VAQUERO contains views ot new buildings in progress, and ot our new swimming pool, which, through the untiring etforts ot our trustees and our principal, has become a reality this year. We have added a pictorial calendar of the year's events and have selected a more attractive cover. The editor expresses her thanks to the members ot her statt and to Mrs. Trudeau, faculty advisor. Without their cooperation and help, this book would not have been possible. She also thanks all school organizations and classes who have given financial assistance. eDOl5tOTHY DASHNER, Editor RALPH T. WATTENBURGER O O I How often have you been temp- ted to say, Oh well, l'll do it to- morrow ? Many times, too often, tomorrow never comes. lt's what you do today that counts and not what you intend to do tomorrow. I wonder how many ot you have stopped to think what you will be doing ten years from now. Did it ever occur to you that the chances are excellent that you will be doing something very similar to what you are doing today? You may or may not enlarge upon what you are do- ing today, but basically, it will probably be much the same. The time to start preparing for the future is now, today, and not tomorrow. -RALPH T.

J wwf 'Tw' President NORMAN SMITH Vice President GEORGE CARDOZA Secretary LORRAINE FRICK Treasurer HARVEY PETERSEN Girls' Representative MARIE BIERY Boys' Representative BOB NATHANSON One bright September day in l944 a small band of scared Freshmen tried desperately, and without notice- able success, to elude a large group of fiendish Seniors in the halls of L. U. S. Cl-low times have changed! Now it is we who are the Mighty Seniors.l After the Freshman Reception, though, we decided that the Seniors weren't so bad after all and we gave them a Freshman Return to show our gratitude for all they had done for us. We elected Russell Iackson as our first president and we liked him so well that we chose him for the same office again in our Iunior year. lack Bonetti was our Sophomore class president and that year we showed our loyalty to the class of '48 by electing our class queen, Ioyce Schaeffer, to reign over the Iunior Carnival. In our Iunior year, some members of our class had charge of the first Ir.-Sr. Tea to be given at Livermore High. The Iunior girls gave the tea for the Senior girls and their mothers. lt was an outstanding success. The members of the English III class last year had as their project the revival of the school paper, the Torch, which had not been published for several years. The Ir.-Sr. Banquet, with its Spanish theme, was the climax of this year. For our Senior president we chose a modest, unassum- ing fellow by the name of Norman Smith. Although he is very shy he has really put himself out for our class and we think that we have had a very successful year. Our girls proved themselves to be the school basketball champs by winning both the A and B divisions of the Girls' Basketball Tournament. We decided to give the Freshmen a real break so we did away with the cus- tomary initiation. CDarn itll We would like to offer congratulations to all the teachers who stuck it out with us for so long. We feel that our class of '48 has made its mark around L. U. H. S. tif you know what I mean? and we will never forget all the good times we have had here. -PAT ANDERSON '48 CLASS MOTTO: To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield CLASS COLORS: Maroon and white.

The Future Farmers of America is the national organization of, by, and for farm boys in high schools serving rural areas in which there is an opportunity for the graduate to establish himself in farming or an allied argicultural occu- pation. The school program involves the classroom, demonstrations, field trips, student-owned home farming enterprises, the farm mechanics shop, and Future Farmer activities. Each of these embraces action in vocational agriculture. The Livermore chapter, which has 38 members, carries on an active com- munity program. This year a new feature was added to the chapters activities in the form of a lunior Livestock Show in which all members participated by showing their livestock. Assisted by the Lions, Rotary, Foresters, Farm Bureau, and American Legion organizations, the chapter sent two delegates, Russell laclcson and Augie Hage- mann, to the Future Farmer Convention in Kansas City. At the annual Parent and Son Banquet, a review of the year's work was given and awards were presented to two 1947 State Farmers and to outstanding stu- dents in the chapter.

By defeating San Ramon in the final league game, the Cowboys finished second in the league standings. ln a post-league game on Armistice Day, the Cow- boys avenged their loss of the championship to Emery by defeating the league champs by a-score of l2-ES. .n-4253539 B fi' 'Y ,sr ,YQQCOQR and 'i '- , B gxefs N r COACH HERM MEITLER , , ,Maia Q N 1' t 'n i fzwsff' jaw .f Q' ,U ' X A .2 ' f A ..

The Cowboy Varsity, coached by Ben Snyder, completed its most successful season in 13 years, tying Emeryville for the co-championship with nine wins and one loss each. The Little Cow- boys won only four out of ten 1eague games, but their floor play and scoring potency was greatly increased by co-coaches Ralph Watten- burger and Herm Mettler since the first practice game with Ripon. Livermore played a total of seven practice games with the following schools: Ripon 121, Pittsburg, St. 1-lelena, Santa Cruz, and Center- ville 621. ln an eighth game, the Varsity lost to the Livermore Cowboys while the B team de- feated the Livermore Baptist Church. 1n the first game of 1eague play, the Varsity won a 41-36 thriller from the same Emeryville five that obtained the championship the pre- ceding year. The B team lost to the Emery squad which eventually becamethe B champs.

X.: H c8mmbalL Veteran Coach l-lerm Mettler revived baseball last year in Livermore High School and set the stage for this year's team. A new baseball field greeted a squad of 50 boys who at the present writing look like they may develop into a pretty fair baseball team, and who as they develop more game experience will become real contenders next year. The baseball squad is composed mostly of Freshmen, Sophomores, and Iuniors, which is a good sign for future jmck This year, Track Coach Herm Mettler has trained a com- plete new squad because last year there were only two men out for track. There is a great deal of material and we should do well in the track meets. Two definite meets are scheduled -one with Antioch and the league meet at Brentwood. lf we can get a relay team together, there will be two other meets: one with San Ramon, and one with St. Helena. lf any outstanding material develops, they will be sent to the Northern Coast Section meet. development.

The Block L no longer has a treasury. All income from the Block L dance and athletic contests is put in the Athletic Fund. This fund pays for uniforms, playing equip- ment, sweaters, awards, insurance, doctor bills, and any- thing else which pertains to athletics. Meetings are held during the year to make plans for the Block dance and other social events, to ascertain the winners of sweaters and awards, and to elect officers for the following year.
