fi THt TOKfla PRtscms the STOfiy of LODI union HIGH SCHOOL 19 4 9 Autumn Splendor In Memoriam Faculty Lucy Joyce Bishop Students Gordon Leffler '49 Ruth Funamura '4; Llewellyn Klein '49 Jacklin Joens '51 Richard Veragulh '51 Custodian John R. Rothwell Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; The Soul that rises with us, our life’s Star, Hath had elsewhere its setting And cometh from afar; Not in entire forgetfulness, And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory do we come From God, who is our home: Heaven lies about us in our infancy! Shades of the prison-house begin to close Upon the growing Boy, But he beholds the light, and whence it flows. He sees it in his joy; The Youth, who daily farther from the east Must travel, still is Nature’s priest, And by the vision splendid Is on his way attended! William Wordsworth Administration Our Board And Lodi Union High School board of trustees is compc ed of five members elected at large. Each one is elect for a term of three years. The terms are staggered so th not more than two are elected at the same anni election. The board members govern the high school on beh. of the people who elect them. The board has legislati and judicial powers. The members also serve as a coi mittee of the whole to advise and direct all matters p« taining to the business and welfare of the school. Lodi is fortunate in having trustees who are emi ently successful and highly respected citizens of the coi munity. They give unstintingly of their time and abilit: to school work. The regular board meetings are held on the fii Monday after the fifth day of each month. Many spec meetings are held when school business is urgent. At ea regular annual July meeting, the board is organized f the ensuing year. A President and a Clerk are elect for a term of one year. The Superintendent of Schools is the official sect tary to the board and is the chief executive officer of t board of trustees. He is authorized by them to supervi and direct all departments of the school. Board of Trustees Mr. Roll Mr. Emde Mr. Locke Mr. Davis Mr. Woodworth Administration As we look back over another year we can truly say at L.U.H.S. is a “School of Champions.” The administration and faculty try to be champions len operating the school and the educational procedures thin the classroom. The outstanding performance of any L.U.H.S. students attest to the fact that this effort s not been in vain. A new student counseling system was inaugurated, le football teams, with few outstanding players, work- together as units, winning the respect of every team ayed. The varsity squad ended second in league play ailc the B team won a co-championship. One agricul- re student won highest possible State honors. Two riculture students were sent to Kansas City for the yal Livestock Show. The A Capella choir and the drama classes put on outstanding Christmas program. The choir sang for any programs.. The Band performed to their credit at 1 times so that students, faculty, and parents could be oud of them. The Student Council conducted a $25,000 business ring for boys’ athletics and awards, girls’ sports and ards, school awards, assemblies, the Tokay and Flame, adent representatives to many conferences, etc. The junior and senior classes had many activities, le commercial department again showed their metal by inning high honors in the National Commercial Con- st. The home economics girls constructed and displayed rments that compared with those of professionals. Space limits my enumeration of many other out- mding performances of skill, strength and academic ccess. Every student of Lodi Union High School is urg- to be a champion, especially in his academic achieve- E?nts. Mr. Paul R.

In a closely-contested election Joanne Barritt became the class president; Laurel Kerr, the vice- president; Sumiko Kawato, the secretary; Delores Her- man, the treasurer; and John Emde, representative to the Student Council. A successful dues card sale was conducted in October by the class representatives to the Sophomore Council. Those members included Paul Bailey, Barbara Brown, Marlene Brown, Marjorie Berg, Lorraine Beyerle, Tommy Danjogo, Gerry Gatzert, Hayhurst, Dick Leal, Betty School, Bud Sullivan, Warren Rudow, and Judy Yo- shimoto. A brisk cold January 18 found the sophomores en- joying their first class activity, a skating party at Stock- ton. With St. Patrick’s Day as its theme, the Sophomore Dance was held on May 5. Sixty sophomores volunteered to serve on committees for the event under committee chairmen: Frances Allbee, decorations; Joan Taylor, posters: and Bette Powell, cleanup. A picnic at Lodi Lake last month completed the year’s social program. Committee chairmen were Johanna Shaw. Louanne Coil, Lois Becker, and Pat Batty. Sophomores happily remember their underclassmen days and are eagerly anticipating being upperclassmen.

Our Freshmen Enthusiasm in the freshmen class was high from the first of the school year when the names of nineteen candidates for class officers appeared on the ballot. Those elected were: Frank Schober. president; Jack Patterson, vice-president; Joyce Masui, secretary; Mary Emde, treasurer and Floyd Norwick, class representative. The officers and representatives to the freshman council planned a roller skating party in October in ord- der that the members of the class could get better ac- quainted. During February the class was eagerly making pre- parations for its first dance. Among the freshmen who enjoyed a picnic at the Lodi Municipal Lake in May were many baseball and swimming enthusiasts. The freshmen class was host to the eighth grade graduates in the spring. Class members assisted in or- ienting these prospective newcomers to our school by serving as ushers and guides.

Activities During the past year the student council took on a large project, the complete revision of the constitution and by-laws of the student body. In order to get a better picture of the way other Student Councils functioned, we joined the California Association of Student Councils and also their national organization. This helped us run affairs more smoothly and enabled us to meet many officers from our neighbor- ing high schools. We had the opportunity of being host to this group at Lodi High late this spring. Last February the “Teen-Age Center used up its allotted budget. This meant no more student dances after basketball games; therefore the Student Body sponsored three dances as an experiment. These were very success- ful. Last year a perpetual trophy was purchased to be given to the winner of the traditional Stockton-Lodi football game. Our varsity squad won this game and the trophy was sent to Lodi. An all-sports dinner for all Block L winners was started last spring. The funds for this banquet were ob- tained from the proceeds of the Senior-Varsity football game. It was sponsored by the Lodi District Junior Chamber of Commerce. Because of an overwhelming vote by the students, a new public address system was purchased for our auditorium, which added much to the enjoyment of the assemblies. George Emde, Jr..

I sincerely hope that the Student Body President of next year will have as much cooperation from his student council officers as I have had this year. I wish to thank every member of the '48-’49 council and advisors for their advice and helpfulness. George Emde, Jr. Student Body President Student Council: Pumphrey McBride, Ass't.

The boys and girls selected to represent Lodi Boys’ and Girls' State must be recommended by teachers for their leadership, character, scholar- p, service and citizenship. This is a program of ication on practical Americanism, sponsored by American Legion. Named to represent Lodi ;h. were Bob Baldocchi, Rayvin Straub, Harland ndt. and Frances Fisher. The Flame One of the hardest problems facing a school pa; is to keep the interest of its readers without resort to so-called “sensationalism.” By reporting, as accurately as possible, the news school activities and by printing articles of student terest, we have tried to achieve this aim. The extent which we have either succeeded or failed in our purp is decided by each individual reader. I would like to take this opportunity to thank � subscribers and advertisers for their support. With their aid the printing of the Flame would have b impossible. And especially I would like to extend gratitude to the members of the Flame Staff who 1 selfishly gave up much of their time so that the Flan might go to press. Bob Baldocchi.

With a sigh of relief the staff sent the last pages of 1949 “Tokay” down to the printer in April. Look- back through the year, the editors found it had i a busy one. It was in October when everyone had settled down r the beginning of school that the Tokay” started ng Senior pictures. While the Senior pictures were tg taken, the staff was kept busy making the lay- ; for the annual, scheduling class and activity pic- s. The pages multiplied fast and soon 60 pages were ly for the printer. March 4 was set aside for “Camera Day”, and many he students brought their cameras and took pictures the snap section. Finally spring sports and small groups were taken, copy was then completed and the last of the book away. The “Tokay” was done, but the staff and I always remember all the thought and the work we into it. We hope the students will find the annual up heir expectations. Helen Masui.

Our Spirit The Pepstirs under the leadership of Betty Jc Gemar, Commissioner of Social and Cultural Affa: have had a busy year organizing and putting on rail during football and basketball seasons. Eight footb rallies and four basketball rallies were held in all. In the past this group was composed of the y leaders, the song leaders and the Commissioner of Soc and Cultural Affairs. Other students were nicked fr the Student Body at random to participate in rally sk However for the last few years, a sign-up has be held at the beginning of the year, and in turn the 1 has been broken up into committees assigned to es rally. This year a hundred and forty students sign up. and each one was assigned to help with at least c rally. One of the main objectives of the Pepstirs this y was to have greater participation in rallies by memb- of the Student Body. Skits were varied in theme. There was an appe a nee of Pirates on September 24 when Lodi met S Leandro, and on October 8 (Lodi vs Turlock) a politi convention took place at which delegates from all teams of the Sac -Joaa.uin league were in attendar It was a hilarious affair.

Our Music Makers Drum Major—Nancy Manor A Cappella Choir Orchestra You say there is no such thing as a ghost? If you saw the Junior Play (and most of you did, judging from the profit of S356.44) your belief in ghosts has been firmly established. The plot of the Junior Play. Ghost Wanted , centered around the discovery of hid- den ammunitions and the undercover search for the spy who was pretending to be the caretaker. The play was given variety by such characters as: Professor D’Vallen, an authority on voodoo: his strange Cycling” assistant, Madam Zolga: and the house maid Troddy, who had an obsession for making a “cup of tea.” Supplying the thrills was the spirit of the late fish- erman, Simon Gore, whose mysterious death had occur- red only a few months before. All in all the play was a huge success, and congratulations are in order for Mr. Van Horn, director; Peggy Pace, student director: and Bettv Saylor, assistant student director for their splendid work.

It was well received both at the student assem- bly and at the evening performance shown to the public. Mr. Nichols gave an opening address and extended holiday greetings. Strains of organ music, somewhat unfamiliar at Lodi High, proceeded the program. Mr. Don Sutherland, a new teacher this year in the music department, brought color to the tableaux by his skill at the borrowed Ham- mond organ. Gowned in new maroon robes, the A Cappella choir entered singing the processional O Come All Ye Faith- ful.” Throughout the program they sang familiar hymns of the Christmas season. Scenes of “The Nativity” pictured the birth of the Christ child and the coming of the Wise Men. Characters were dressed solely in white costumes.

Getting off to a good start, the Flamclets defeated a heavily favored Oakdale squad. 18-7. Although they were within ten yards of the Turlock goal line three times during the game, the Lodi Bees were unable to cross over for a tally and were forced to accept a 0-0 tie. In the third game of the season, the Flamclets were able to leave the field unscored upon in a 14-0 victory over Sacramento. With ease and confidence that displayed the ch pionship form of the Lodi team, the Flame Bees rc over Grant, 27-0. Chalking up their second tie of the season, the 1 battled a highly favored McClatchy team to a I standstill.

A Basketball Although they were hampered by a lack of height, the Lodi Varsity basketball five were able to out-tally its opponents in seven practice games out of ten encounters and in three league tilts out of ten played. In what was one of the best displays of smooth playing and superior teamwork in high school competition, the Flame five crushed Christian Brothers from Sacra- mento. Both Lodi and Woodland were doing their best to win this one. and were neck and neck throughout the evening when in the last thirty seconds of play, the Flames, with a burst of speed managed to sink the decisive counter. In one of the thrillers of the season. McClatchy barely nosed out the favored Flame squad. Stockton had a great advantage over the Flames in height, but this didn’t dis- courage Lodi, and they very nearly defeated the tall Tarzans in both meetings be- tween the two rivals.

Bee Basketball Getting off to a slow start, the Flamelet hoopsters made improvements in both their defensive and offensive tactics as the season progressed and were able to defeat the majority of their opponents. With Gerry Gatzert and Johnny Lucas spear-heading their attacks, the Lodi Bee squad easily smashed the Sacramento squad in a tussle in which their form was de- scribed as “just about perfect.” After suffering from a loss at the hands of a heavily favored Modesto a few weeks earlier, the Flame Bees were again forced to accept a defeat from the Panther Cubs by a margin of two points in a struggle that stretched into an overtime period. In their first meeting with Stockton the Flamelets really walloped the Tarzan Bee five, but in their second meeting on Stockton’s home ground, the lads from Lodi had an off night and Stockton practically reversed the score on them.

Baseball “We got off to a slow start this year, but we are picking up speed and improving on team play all the time ’ stated “A baseball coach John Giannoni. The varsity nine was handicapped by the loss of its first two league games but at the time of this writing they have jumped up to second place with fair chance of winning top honors. Says Giannoni: “We have an exceptionally fine pitching staff this year, and the only thing we lack is real hitting power. There are some very good prospects on the frosh-soph. team for the varsity next year. The frosh-soph. have won the great majority of the games played so far this year, and Lodi High can look for a winning team next year in these players. (left to right) Row I: Lippert. Rosser.

Early in the season they met Sar Rosa High and fought to a draw. A r match was held, and a capacity crowd f led the Flame gym to witness the close matched bouts. The Lodi lads emerged victorious the majority of the eleven bouts fought this match and were champs in their o right. Swimming With the swimming season barely started at the time of writing, it can't be said just where the team stands in the league. The A’s” have won two and lost two meets so far. and the “Bees” have successfully overcome all their opponents to date. Both squads have every chance to win championship crowns but their toughest adversaries are still to be dealt with. Allen Reichenberg set a new pool re- cord of 45.5 seconds for the class “B fifty- yard breast stroke this year. (left to right) Row I: Hoppe, Looser, Rei- mche. Schimke, McMahon, Borth. Tansley.

Over fifty percent were fi year students; nevertheless, the progress the improvement made by the school third year students as well as the first y students has been excellent. The first performance was unique in 1 flourescent lighting and flourescent mater were used for the first time as a football h time stunt. It proved to be very effective there were many favorable comments fi the spectators. Other performances included an app ance at the Lodi Academy, a half-time | formance at the Lodi-Turlock basket game, and an assembly program May 25. the entire student body. We worked on a number of new ind dual stunts progressing from a simple ward roll to a difficult front somersault w out hands. In addition, new double sti were practiced, and various types of pi mids were constructed. For the first time, this particular grj had a little experience in using the ’‘saj belt, and the ladders were used in builc pyramids. “I feel that the tumbling team has an ecceptionally good year,” stated Wa Best, captain. “The group was very coo ative, and we enjoyed working under i Melby.” Tumbling Watch Out, Don’t Fall Senior Tumblers Drill t to right) Row I: Baker, Beyerle, ning, Gordon, Smith, Ratty, Har- n.

This year it was fun because the team drilled more, and had a fine group of girls with which to work. The group completed their uniforms this year by getting the white boots, and changed uniforms to Wes- tern style to fit the Hardin-Simmons game. This was accomplished by carrying lariats, wearing white blouses, and red skirts with a red neckerchief. This was topped off by cow-girl hats given by the Chamber of Com- merce. This was the outstanding performance and was planned by Mrs. Melby, Miss Hungerford and Mr. Halsey. The Drill Team is very proud to end such a success- ful season, and wish as much to the Drill Teams in the future. Hockey JUNIORS (left lo righl) Row I: Haney, Lea, Sayler, Wilson, Dielz, Fuhrman.

Although the girls are allowed c two dribbles, it is sufficient to cover half of the court in which they are alio’ to play. The juniors took the basketball t seniors second and sophomores third. Something special should be be : about the freshmen. They receive 1: credit, yet they missed beating the jun by only three points.
