During school time, students may be seen rapidly walking or gaily sauntering along these familiar sidewalks going to or coming from classes. In the Science Building of Lodi High, facilities are provided for the teaching of general science, biology, photography, physiology, chemistry, home economics, and physics, besides such miscellaneous subjects as algebra and speech. . • B ILd 4 This is, perhaps, one of the most familiar of our campus scenes. Students walk hurriedly along the sidewalks in the foreground toward the grandstand in order to secure “ring-side” seats for rallies or award assemblies. In the Ag Building are situated not only several classrooms used by promising young Future Farmers but also the Rumpus Room, the well-known location for many business meetings, film showings, and club activities. 5 Although this very attractive view of the Girls’ Gym has been seldom noticed by most students, a few observant young people may have glimpsed its beauties from the third-floor windows of the Main Building. On Friday afternoon teen-agers eagerly read the week’s edition of our school newspaper, the “Flame,” as they sit under the shade of one of the arbors, familiar “landmarks” of the campus. 6 Administration and Classes The year 1954-55 brought several changes to the Lodi Union High School. The superinten- dent who served this district with distinction for twenty-two years retired to private life. As your new superintendent I have appreciat- ed learning to know the traditions of our school and the accomplishments of our stu- dents. Individuals often stand out in any organization, and we have our full share of awards in areas ranging from agriculture to English. Most important, however, is the team spirit that prevails at Lodi Union High School. Working together on the athletic field or in the student body has become a splendid tradition. This spirit of team work has de- veloped over a period of many decades and involves the work of hundreds of students and faculty members. If I could choose one wish for the future, it would be that this tradition of working together for worth- while goals accompany every graduate into adult life and be regenerated on the school campus in the years to come. Superintendent of Schools Lodi High is Proud of Its BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Niel Locke 8 Excellent Administration The school year of 1954-55 has been a pleasant one for the Stocking family. The people of Lodi have been very kind and friendly. The Lodi High School students and staff have shown a fine spirit of cooperation which is essential to the success of any school. In ad- dition to good teaching, our school has enjoy- ed outstanding student leadership. The class of ’55 has many fine students and student leaders who will play important roles in com- munity life throughout the years to come. There is a feeling of sadness in our hearts when we think of the seniors who are leaving us. But there follows a feeling of satisfaction when we realize they will move into greater areas of responsibility and service. As the seniors leave we turn to our under- classmen for student leadership. We know that other outstanding students will continue to lead the Lodi student body in the fine traditions which have been established throughout the years to make Lodi Union High School one of the best schools of our state. I am proud to have the opportunity to serve as your principal. 9 Mr. Evan Borst Social Studies Dept.

In preparing for entering college or obtaining jobs in the business world many sophomore, junior, and senior pupils are taugnt to type accurately and efficiently by well- qualified Lodi High teachers. _____ Third and fourth-year home ec. girls co-operate with the cafeteria supervisor and a staff of cooks to prepare and serve hot meals for students who enjoy home-style food. A variety of desserts and individual snacks is also served. 36 Ackerman Atwood Bauer. Alice Bice Albers Bailey Bauer. Ardis Biles Alexander Baker Baumback. B Bird. J. Ambrose Bechtold Baumback.

To keep the noise roaring, the football team fought its way to a championship, with the whole student body cheering them on. The roar turned to a grumble when the student council announced a forthcoming election on campus clean-up. Cries of “Down with the council” rang through the halls of old Lodi High. Everyone, except for a teeny-weeny minority who favored school pride, was happy, though, when the old system of clean-up was voted in. It was too bad the campus was never clean so we could have gotten out early. With some of the most terrific song and yell leaders in Lodi High’s history showing the way, we shouted and paraded ourselves to the Stockton-Lodi game Sportsmanship trophy. The townspeople of Lodi admitted that not even in their youth was there such spirit. They also took off their hats to us for keeping vandalism to a particle of what it might have been. The Lodi rooting section is known around the conference for its enthusiasm, just as our teams are known (and feared) for their athletic skills. With a student-faculty committee carefully selecting the performers, the quality of assemblies at Lodi High reached a new high. The student talent show was just about the best program of the year. Lodi High was represented at every conference in this area. We con- ducted a couple of panels, and in April we sponsored a conference of our own. These conferences develop leadership in the student, and from the meetings come ideas on how to cope with problems in student government. In the middle of the year, through the courtesy of the Congress of the United States, our congressman, Leroy Johnson, sent us a flag that had flown over the Capitol in Washington, D. C. Now that famous place has something in common with Lodi. I’d like to thank the student body for co-operating to make this year a big success for the council and me. Thanks too Mr. Christensen. Mr. Stocking, and Mrs. Melby for keeping us in line and giving us much-needed advice. Best of luck to next year’s president, council, and student body.

The first function of the year is a meeting held in October at which new members are initiated. In December the annual Christmas Party is held. One of the highlights of the evening is the breaking of the pinata, an old custom of Spain and Mexico. Then in April, the Spanish Club puts on a Pan American Day assembly for the students. During the program they try to bring out a few of the songs, dances, and customs of the Spanish speaking people. Spanish Club ends the year with a Mexican dinner at which the members enjoy themselves im- mensely. The aim of Los Ameoles is to promote a better understanding between the people north of the border and their neighbors down south.

Students and Stagecraft Classes Assist School and Community Activities equipment are always available for civic functions, church activities, and programs presented by local clubs and organizations.

Organization inthe State of California One of the most important aspects of the program aside from the class-room activities is the home-supervised pro- jects. This year 100 boys have a total of 382 head of livestock, 15 are raising 96 acres of field and truck crops, and 30 are managing 102 acres of grape and orchard crops. Home-supervised pro- jects are the backbone of a successful agriculture department. We also have 7 judging teams—grape vines, trees, dairy cattle, general live- stock, truck crops, farm machinery, and agronomy. These teams compete again- st about 60 other schools at the Fresno. Davis, and San Luis Obispo contests. The teams that win at San Luis Obispo wil represent California in the national contests. The Lodi Agriculture department is rated as one of the best in the state.

For example: although this page has been one of the simplest to prepare, all the following steps have been taken before it was completely out of the hands of the staff: 1. To show the size and placement of all pictures and copy print) a penciled layout is drawn on a piece of ruled graph paper. 2. Pictures are taken by an available photographer and printed to the specified size. The layout and pictures are placed together in a special envelope labeled Page 79- Tokay Staff. 3. The envelope is sent to Stockton, where cuts (etched blocks) arc made for each picture and sent to the printer. 4. After the envelope's return, someone laboriously com- poses a title and copy, and it is typed by the copy editor. 5. The contents are checked, the envelope goes to the printer, and it soon returns with a page of printed proof clipped to it. 6. A competent proof-reader carefully reads each word and punctually marks every misspelling, etc. 7. The envelope is then returned to the printer, and each staff member breathes a sigh of relief—1 132 of our annual is finished! We would now like to say “Thank you very much” to every one who has helped in any way in the making of this year's annual. We sincerely hope that every student enjoys the 1955 Tokay as much as we have enjoyed editing it. Sincerely. Evelyn Post Tokay Editor and staff members.

Editing the “Flame” was an experience I found to be invaluable. Highlights of the year were the big eight- page Stockton-Lodi Game edition, the un- usual Christmas edition, the April Fool’s Day razz edition, and the Senior edition. Seventy new first-year reporters worked diligently on the staff, and it was really en- joyable to watch their writing talents de- velop as the year rolled on. Perhaps the big- gest task which faced this crew was putting out the Freshman edition, a job they handled very capably. Working as a smoothly co-ordinated team, nine people filled irreplacable positions in the second-year Journalism class. At this time I would like to express my sincere thanks to Rose Mary Schramm, Marlene Nelson, Hazel Frei, Jim Bird, Don Pritchard, Liz Ratty, Betty Hatzenbuhler, Norma Grimmett, and Claudia Randle for the wonderful job they have done this year. 80 Row I: Mills Mustin Martinez Steacy Hat tick Wackcr Salomon Whittlcton Reynolds Row II: Davies Sayler Senner Lutz Marquardt Loebs Rempfer Stcllatino Row III: Daugherty Hunt Spitzer Gianetti Sclbcl Worthen Stafford Schramm Schock Direction of a Very Efficient Editor and Staff Last, but certainly not least, to Mr. Naas a most heart-felt thank you for your patience and kind understanding at all times.

The Lodi High Band The Lodi Union High School Band carries our school’s colors at probably more events than any other organization. As adept on parade as in concert, the band is a traditional entrant in the Lodi Grape Festival parade. Veterans’ Day found the band marching through the streets of Stockton, and Lodi’s School Street rang with Sousa marches during the March of Dimes campaign. Mr. Halsey and the Band also appear at several other civic functions—the fall fashion show, the Legion Picnic, and at the Rotary Club. Nevertheless, the band plays its greatest role in the life of the school. Its pre-game activities and half-time stunts added color to Lodi High football games while the lively fifteen-piece Pep Band created a great deal of spirit at the home basketball games and rallies. In its spare time the Band played at the Stanford—C.O.P. and U.C.—Washington State games. To members of the band, however, the highlight of the season is the annual spring concert. And graduation would never be the same without “Pomp and Circumstance” played by the Lodi Union High School Band—a worthy standard-bearer of our Alma Mater. Royce Schulz.

The first appearance of these groups was of the annual Christmas program “Gloria.” A Spring program was given in March as another of their activities. The A Cappella sang for the Rotary Club Mrs- Dorofoy B Hasselbring and the Lion’s Club in Lodi. Those in the A Cappella Choir who attended the Pacific Music Clinic in Stockton, found it very enjoyable as well as educational. The A Cappella Choir contributed to the entertainment of the class of “59” on Eighth Grade Day, April 13. They sang beautiful, sacred, anthems at the Baccalaureate. The Select Girls Chorus sang for the Soroptimist Club. Some of the girls, both in the A Cappella Choir and Select Girls Chorus, were selected to be flower girls for the Commencement, a Lodi tradition for 33 years.

Each performance was acclaimed a spectacular success. Mr. Sydney A. Halsey was general director; Dorothy B. Hasselbring, director of choral music; James J. Lynch, director of drama; Donald J. Levy, director of stage; Donald H. Sutherland, organist. The combined chorus of 150 voices entered the auditorium with lighted tapers in the traditional processional, “O, Come All Ye Faithful” and sang Christmas carols during the program. Jo Ann Stcllatino, Audrey Walther, and Joyce Hearth enacted the parts of the three angels who brought the Christmas message to the shepherds. Roman soldiers were portrayed by Dennis Kaul, Lyle The parts of shepherds who left their flocks to worship Schwartz, and Orwin Dow; the faithful shepherd, by the Christ child were performed by Carol Ann Hawks, Marlene Stellatino; the unselfish wiseman, by Royce Elizabeth Busey, Rosetta Delsi, and Irene Omaye.

Night of January 16. given on March 10 and 11. proved to be very rewarding financially this year and at the same time uncovered much hidden talent among the juniors. The play is the story of a murder trial: Bill Slip and Walter Gordon were outstanding as the attorneys: June Glos and Mariane Mchlhaff proved excellent as the accused murderess. The exceptionally large cast in this year's production is account- ed for by the fact that many of the roles were double cast. That is. there was a different actor in some parts for each showing. In spite of this handicap, creditable performances were turned out by everyone, and it was a pleasure for everyone associated with the Junior Class to help produce this play. With varied motives members of the prosecution work for the conviction of Karen Andre. The verdict is a matter of even greater importance to those defending the accused murderess. 92 Row I: Allan Jory. Banjo Joyce Hearth. Miss Preen Dick Hughes. Beverly Jolene Senner.

SENIORS SPONSORED, PRODUCED “The Man Who Came to Dinner” The graduating class of 1955 chose as their senior production the Broadway comedy hit. The Man Who Came to Dinner. by George S. Kaufman. The play, equally successful in motion pictures and as a major television adaptation, had a cast of 13 boys and 8 girls. The story of the play revolves around one Sheridan Whiteside, lecturer, critic, and intimate of the great. The caustic, ram- bunctious Whiteside slips on the icy pavement outside the home of a small-town businessman who had invited him to dinner. Whiteside is forced to remain: but he and his pals make life miserable for all characters concerned, but hilarious for the audience.

Advanced Drama Students Enact “The Little Foxes” The fifth annual Center Stage production was Lillian Heilman’s “The Little Foxes,” presented by the drama students as a class project. Two rehearsal performances of the play were seen by students and faculty. A third rehearsal was seen by visiting students attending the C. A. S.

They were unbeaten in league play, and climaxed their very successful season with a very convincing 28-0 victory over Lodi’s traditional rival, the Stockton Colts. It was the seventh year in a row that the “Flames” have downed their Stockton rivals. Lodi's only defeat came at the hands of the Vallejo High Indians who were rated the No. 1 team of Northern Cali- fornia with Lodi taking the No. 2 spot. Grant and McClatchy gave the “Flames their hardest games, but in both cases the “Lodi Spirit” came thru to turn back the challenge. 112 IT • j Top Row: left to right: Mellor, Haro, Bender, Horst, Anagnos, Bitzer, Conrad, Kammerer, V arSITV------------1 B� tzer.

A S?B Basketball Bob Trumbly Head Coach While neither the Varsity or “B” basketball teams won championship honors, both squads were among the most feared in league play. In the Varsity competition the league play was dominated by a very powerful and undefeated Grant team, while Turlock also featured an un- usually strong quintet. The Lodi five showed con- siderable ability to score points, but was unable to stop the scoring efforts of the league leaders. The “B” team started slowly, but by mid-season had become a powerful unit that scored a stunning last-game victory over Stockton to spoil the Colts’ chances for a championship tie. The “B’s” had a new coach this year in Mr. Bill Stewart, and the team looked good under his tutelage. T a First row: Konschak, Addington, Hunting, Schmicdt, Lindeman. Oehler, Treichel, Schue.

The Lodi Flames In Action “Take Me Out to the Ball Game Hopes Are High With the league season just getting underway as the Tokay” goes to press, predictions on the baseball season are hard to make. The Varsity was undefeated in practice games and in their first two league contests; however, on April 12, they were defeated by El Camino High 2 to 1 and still had tough Stockton, Sacramento and Grant to play. The Flames were a strong defensive team and if the hitting and pitching hold up they could be a strong conference contender. The Frosh-Soph team was busy with a schedule which included games with the three Stockton High Schools and other teams of the Southern Section of the Sac-Joaquin Conference.

Lodi has a veteran squad and are definitely the team to beat for the Conference title. Several of the team consistently shot in the 70’s and to date the squad is undefeated. Tennis is still in the process of building and the team lacks experience. Facilities for tennis at Lodi High are not good, and it is hoped that when the new school is completed tennis may make a comeback. C. Vcrcgge A. Clark D. Grey W. Price R. Gatzcrt L. Gardcnhirc P.
